Celebration of the Father
“Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?” One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?” They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”” (Luke 24:13-18, 25-27, 32-34 WEB)
Did you ever wonder why out of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, only one of them was named while the other remained anonymous?
Therefore, I believe that the name “Cleopas” is crucial to understanding the significance of this passage.
Cleopas is an abbreviated form of the name Cleopatros, made of the two Greek words “kleos” (to celebrate) and pater (father). Cleopas means “celebration of the father”.
Let us see what Jesus did in the passage. He told the two discouraged disciples all about the things concerning Himself in the Old Testament Scriptures, and how He fulfilled them all at the cross.
It was a celebration of the Father, praising Him for His glorious plan of salvation that was once hidden and is now revealed through the prophets, apostles, and the other writers of the Scriptures.
When Jesus celebrated the Father with the two disciples, their hearts “burned”, likely with faith, hope, and love in response to the love and grace of God. They experienced an “Emmaus” (meaning: hot springs) in their hearts, washing away the unbelief and refreshing their spirits.
They were no longer depressed and despondent. Instead, they were filled with hope, and energized in their bodies and souls. Having just walked a long way from Jerusalem to Emmaus, they immediately set off on a journey back to announce the good news they had seen and heard.
This world needs “Cleopas”—a celebration of the Father. They need to hear about a Father God who is gracious and full of love, who freely offers salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. They need to hear that He wants to be a Father near to them and not a Judge far off; that He is reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus, welcoming them home.
“But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:18-21 WEB)
Anytime you are feeling down, you can initiate a celebration of the Father. It will cleanse you from unbelief, refresh your spirit, fill your heart with hope, and energize your body and soul!

While there is an obvious emphasis on having the best display quality, what a lot of TV's lack these days is having really powerful audio straight for the TV's speakers.
The Toshiba M550 breaks that barrier by providing the best TV speakers I have ever heard on a TV, with its maximum audio output of 25 watts Power Bass Woofer, and dual clear direct speakers of 12 watts.
On top of that, it has a really crisp display, Android TV, Chromecast built-in, and Google's voice assistant feature, which makes this TV a very compelling option if you are looking to purchase within this price range
Find out everything that you need to know about the Toshiba M550 4k Android TV in my full review, link in the bio.

Remove the Roof
“When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house. Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”” (Mark 2:1-12 WEB)
The Lord brought this miracle to my remembrance and wants to tell us to remove the roof in our minds.
Oftentimes when we are faced with challenges, we only see the impossibilities and limitations.
The paralytic’s four friends saw that the house was so crowded and that there was no way to enter through the front door. Instead of seeing this as an impossible situation, they thought out of the box and removed the roof.
Some of us need to remove the roof from some wrong doctrines that we have been taught in the past that are limiting our ability to receive from God now.
When the four friends lowered the paralytic down into the house, Jesus did not rebuke them or curse the paralytic for removing the roof. Instead, He saw their faith and healed the paralytic.
The religious scribes might have viewed removing the roof as an audacious and preposterous act, but Jesus only saw it as faith.
When you approach God today in prayer, don’t have this sense of fear, as if He will punish you if you say something wrong.
Just believe that He is like Jesus, seeing your faith as you ask Him for big things—even ‘impossible’ things. He loves it when you have faith to receive miraculous breakthroughs from Him!
“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 WEB)
Remove the roof in your mind that limits God or makes Him appear stingy and reluctant to help you.
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, which means that no matter how big your prayer requests (demands) are, His supply will be much more than you expect.
If He is going to keep exceeding your expectations, then set your sights high. He loves it when you have a good opinion of Him—and that is faith!
In my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, explore the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ with me and see God’s beautiful heart of love and Grace towards you. The revelations within about the way of faith will cause you to even receive long-awaited miraculous breakthroughs in your life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Canned Unagi Eel. Have you ever heard about 'Doyou no Ushinohi'? We traditional think eel as a nourishing food, so we eat Unagi eel in this time of year for beating the summer heat. But the price of eel has been increased, so it's the pity. The price of canned eel is cheap as a Japanese eel, but it's still about 1000 yen(9 USD).

??LYRICS:
maybe you don’t like talking too much about yourself
but you shoulda told me that you were thinking bout someone else
you’re drunk at a party or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
or your phone’s been off for a couple months, so you’re calling me now
i know you, you’re like this
when shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
and like me, i did
but i ran out of every reason
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
took a while, was in denial when i first heard
that you moved on quicker than i coulda ever
you know that hurt
swear for a while i would stare at my phone just to see your face
but now that it’s there, i don’t really know what to say
i know you, you’re like this
when shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
and like me, i did
but i ran out of every reason
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
what did you think would happen?
what did you think would happen?
i’ll never let you have it
what did you think would happen?
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
