Thy will be Done
3/15/19


Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV)

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike. 
It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOULD be in the heart of the one praying.

It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience with the ALMIGHTY.

It is ALL inclusive of the "mundane" and most important priority alike, if that prayer is to be heard by Him.

Too often, our will is substituted in the heart of those mouthing these most precious of words.

HIS will must be sought, blindly and completely in all things that pertain to that which is being asked in prayer.

IT IS HIS blessing, HIS mercy, HIS grace and HIS justice that needs to be asked rather than our own.

Understanding this, in turn, makes it impossible to question the answer given our prayer, dictating the answer of Yes, No, Wait, or seeming silence, as the prayer IS heard by Him...no matter His answer.


Isaiah 55:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
My thanks cannot be more greatly extended for the fact that GOD remains God. and mankind cannot attain to HIS position of decision despite the continuing attempt to do so.
The lie perpetrated on Eve remains loud and vocal as man forgets that it was, and is, a lie.

Means has been given us, though the birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ to overcome that lie, and is the only means of assuring that it IS overcome in the lives of men, no matter how educated, no matter how intelligent, no matter how powerful and no matter how popular man my become.
Pray that our justice is aligned with His justice.
Seek alignment of His mercy with our mercy.
Seek that His pleasure in all that transpires is never substituted by our own pleasure in OUR efforts and thoughts.
Understand that HIS Will will be done in accordance with the plan established by Him, no matter how dark and miserable our attempts to place man on His level continues to make this temporary place of abode once we progress beyond that temporal life experienced in the journey to the eternal being made from birth to death.
Christ came to give promise and the joy of that promise.
He has given guidance that is in concert with the Will of the Father that, when followed, makes that journey less arduous than it is when following the guidance given by man that is in contravention to the intent of the Father.
We are, from creation, a creature of choice, a creature stubbornly elevating ourselves without regard to actual place in the Plan established for which we ARE created.
Know that His Love is always at the center of that plan, irrefutably available to those willing to seek HIS will above our own.
My prayer remains that HIS will be done in my life, that it be done in all things that pertain to  myself and all my fellow human beings, but in most particular that it be done in the lives of all that I love and hold dear.
I pray for the strength and endurance to continue to seek and promote His will as long as I am allowed to take another breath, and as long as the influence my life holds on any other, I pray that HIS WILL BE DONE!

2 Timothy 1:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Amen and Amen
the Wayfarer

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
