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

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 backtrack to

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 not warmed wil
