The name Ann, which is also spelled Anna,is a Hebrew name that means “grace” or “favor”.
Ann is my middle name and I have been grace and favor by God. I pray faithful to God and thank Jesus Christ, for what he has done for me on the cross, I thank and acknowledge Holy Spirit for always leading and guiding me along this road called life. I’m patiently waiting for Jesus Christ to return.
The Bible said ,Anna was patient and persistent in her faith. Anna had hope in what was to come, and God rewarded her steadfast faith by allowing her to see the Christ Child. She responded in joy and thanksgiving, telling everyone who was awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem, She recognized what many of the prominent Jewish leaders of the time could not see: that this little child, though He came as a humble servant, not as the conquering king that many looked for, was the promised Messiah who would save His people from their sins.
Oh my goodness, it’s my ex-husband haha. He talks a lot and saids nothing. One evening my grandson come to town and we all went out for dinner we could barely get a word in, I’m sure you know the kind, just his voice sounds like someone is on a chalkboard you now want I mean,that screeching sound or like the teacher on Charlie Brown wah wa wa. I love him from a distance.
In this passage, the Greek word used for assembling is “episunagoge,” which suggests an official meeting. This could include worship, praying, reading, teaching, hearing, and studying the Word.
The spiritual reality and need of “do not forsake the assembling together” is more than an official meeting. It’s a call to be empowered by God and do life together. As the Body of Christ, we are to be living proof of a loving God. Hebrews 10:24 says, “… consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,” and verse 25 mentions “exhorting one another” (emphasis added).
Stirring Up Love: The word for “stirring up” means to incite or provoke in the best sense. To incite or provoke others in love does not mean loving just happens. Instead, we are to intentionally love, loving those who aren’t always lovable. We are to encourage them to grow in their faith journey and “work out your own salvation” as Philippians 2:12-13 says, encouraging them to water the gift of salvation from within to fruition.
Exhorting One Another: Exhorting means to strongly encourage. In Hebrews 3, the writer writes, “exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:13). Again, we can see how assembling is God’s instruction for divine protection. When we isolate and do not strongly encourage each other in our faith journey, our hearts are at risk of hardening.
In short, the writer of Hebrews is informing the Church “do not forsake the assembling together” so they are empowered to BE THE CHURCH.
Forsaking fellowship gives place to discouragement, doubt, and depression, which multiply in isolation. Without fellowship, there is no stirring up love or exhorting one another.
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”—Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

1 Timothy 2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, work wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
Psalm 21 The king rejoices in your strength, Lord. How great is his joy in the victories you give! You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure goldon his head. He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days, for ever and ever. Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty. Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken. Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes. When you appear for battle, you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire will consume them. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind. Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed. You will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow. Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might.
Yes, my Sister and myself drove from Michigan to Texas. It was a lovely drive. We praise the Lord all the way there ,he got us there and back safely thank you Lord.🙌🏾
The word of God. My Friend telling me about what Jesus has done for me. Jesus said that I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” is a verse from the Bible, John 14:6. It is a statement that Jesus made to convey that there is only one way to eternal life, and that is through Jesus.
