BLESSING PREPARATIONS

My Dear Precious Child,
     The religious and political Pharisees were escalating their complaints and judgments of Jesus Christ as He continued in His healing ministry, His casting out demon from people and His teaching about My kingdom of God which was soon coming into the earth.  Jesus' insights that He spoke about Me and My kingdom being based upon My mercy and My compassion did not sit well with the leaders because of their own interpretation of scriptures being that their Messiah would be a strict ruler like their kings.(Matthew 12:4-8)  The leaders felt threatened that if Jesus was right, then their own earthly elite positions would be threatened. 
     After Jesus lectured the religious and political Pharisees on My mercy being better than sacrificing lambs, it was still the Sabbath and He went to the synagogue to teach, followed by the Jewish Pharisees and His disciples and followers.  There was a man with a withered hand at the synagogue.  The religious and political leaders quizzed Jesus in hopes of tricking Him into doing something for which they could accuse Him of being a lawbreaker.  They tried to trick Him into saying He was guilty of lawbreaking so they asked Jesus if it was lawful in His own eyes for Him to heal the man on the Sabbath. (Matthew 12:9-10)
    Jesus did not answer them directly.   Instead He asked a question about their own actions, that if they had only one sheep and that one sheep fell into a pit, would they not take hold of it and pull it out of the pit?  He told them that a man is worth much more than a sheep and so it is lawful and allowed to do a good action toward a person on the Sabbath days.  Then He told the man with the withered hand to reach out his hand.  The man reached out his hand and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other hand. (Matthew 12:11-12) There was not one thing that the Pharisees could say or do in their persecution of Jesus Christ that would stop His mercy from being extended to everyone who needed His ministry of the Holy Spirit's power over the works of the devil in their lives. 
     After Jesus so cleverly answered the Pharisees, they left him, gathered a council together and began to plan with them how they might do away with Him.  Their pursuit of Him in an effort to catch him in the act of breaking religious and political law had paid off for them.  Being aware of their wicked plan, Jesus went on His way and many people followed Him.  He healed all of them.  Then He cautioned the people not to make Him known publicly any more than He already was, because there were still things to be fulfilled before His final ministry occurred, that being His being crucified on the cross for the sins of the whole world. (Matthew 12:14-16) 
      Every iota relating to the prophesies of the old covenant prophets needed to be fulfilled before His most effective and eternal ministry came to unfold in the earth.  The prophesies all related to some things that needed to occur in My spiritual dimension and the earth before the occurrence of His most wonderful ministry of being the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away all the sins of the world.  (John 1:29 and 36; Revelations 5:6)
     The religious and political Pharisees were fitting right into My plans without being conscious of their part in them.
     Your Father of Perfect Plans
