Eliya

These precious photographs spoke a parting ministering message to me through precious Eliya, 2000-2020  

12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
Worship the Lord
Psalm 96:9, Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
Lift up Holy Hands
Psalm 134:2, Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
And bless the Lord.
Pray without Ceasing
1 Timothy 2:8, I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 
Gabriel (Gabu) and Eliyu
 Proverbs 18:24, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.


Grow up into maturity
2 Cor. 13:11, Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
 HOPE IS ALIVE

Learn of the school of St John, the Spirit of Elijah
 John 14:26, But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.


 Receive peace through the blood of the cross.
Colossians 1:19-20, For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
Eagle's Wings
Isaiah 40:31, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


Romans 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Minister of the Word
Colossians 1:24-29, I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, 25of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

Dancing in the Presence of the Lord
Psalm 149
1Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
