This Do

This Do:

We, as children of God are no longer our own. We have been bought with a price. We are now suited for and must serve God before all things in the life He has invested in us. It should not seem burdensome. Service to our Lord is a pleasure if we Love him. We know we love Him if we love our brothers and sisters. He said that if we loved Him we would keep His commandments. His Word is His commandments. A few will be listed here:

Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Don’t just let them pass through your mind ans wisp away in the fog of “doing”. These are attributes of the children of our Lord. Wehe we receive the fruit of the Holy Spirit and apply them to our interactions, we will be walking in the will of God. We find in:

Ephesians 5:9 “(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

Getting God’s blessings is as simple as living His way. We will be blessed 

 Deuteronomy 28:4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Slipping away from strict obedience to God;s “love law” will bring disaster. Jeremiah 5:25 “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.”

  Luke 8:15 “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”
Having lived and prospered in the Lord, one cannot take on the attitude that all things are his and his alone. 1 John 3:17 “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” Matthew 5:13 “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

We Christians must always remember where our blessings flow. James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Know God, know peace. Amen 10-28-19 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 ...

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 ...
