Firm is the Rock

“Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.” (Deuteronomy 32:18)

We need but to look at the past to know the present and imagine the future. God, “The Rock” never changes. Prophesy is certain. Time for our universe to enter into the prophesied turmoil of the last days. Moses, approaching the end of his leadership of the people of Israel and his life, predicted the coming apostasy of Israel. It was no new thing. Moses turned to the prophetic “history” of Israel. Not only did his prophecy come true for the nation of Israel because it was the Word of God, but we see the same developing in much of Western Christianity today.

Moses reminded them of God’s prophetic warning. He reeducated them concerning the fact that Israel had been blessed greatly of the Lord. Yet, even now as in the past they drawing closer to Him, they grew “fat, and . . . Forsook God which made [them], and lightly esteemed the Rock of [their] salvation” (Deuteronomy 32:15). The use of the term “rock” refers to the rock that Moses struck, yielding water to sustain them in the parched desert region. That rock sustained them in the dry desert with cool, fresh water. “That Rock was Christ,” 1 Corinthians 10:4.) 4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” They willfully represses the knowledge that the God of their creation and salvation. They preferred to sacrifice to demons, old gods, and to any new age gods around (Deuteronomy 32:17-18) 17 “They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.”
(Deuteronomy 32:3-4) “I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he” .

My dear family of Christians, God has given us life, and without His daily sustenance all life would cease. How foolish would be to attempt to live life without the One “that begat” us—who gave us life and even now maintains it. Yet, “all too often,” the Creator God is excluded from our churches which once become apostate, ignore God’s fading influence in government, and our schools. Even many Christians live their lives as practical atheists, making decisions and living their lives just as if no God exists. Listen close folks, there is a God and He alone makes ALL things possible. Without God nothing that is would be. Know also that God is delaying His wrath to allow reformation and re-dedication among “Christians,” He sends warning signs of approaching end times. It is high time we to be giving the rightful place in our lives and in our sphere of influence to “the Rock that begat” us. Know God, know peace. Amen 04-14-2019 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

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 SHOU LD 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 wit

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
