Where Peace Abounds

WHERE PEACE ABOUNDS

As I sit this morning contemplating the state of peace which God gave me for our lesson today, the hymn comes to mind: “There will be peace in the valley some day...” I am made to wonder because God has not spoken peace to me for misguided, deceived and shifting brethren.

Isaiah 59:8
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.”

If our prayers are not answered, and the peace we seek is not realized by us, it is not because God is weary of hearing prayer, but because we are weary of praying. Weary souls pray weary prayers. Our nation and world has become exceedingly sinful; sin has its consequences, exceedingly hurtful, separation from God, and thwarting their peace. Yes, a once Godly people has weakened in spirit to their own destruction. Apostates and anti-Christs have crept in with their infidel and wicked systems; in worship and pleasurable “toys” and many gimmicks of Satan. It is not possible for their skill and craft of advanced technology to bridge the state of spiritual insanity to peace of mind. Their devising schemes, as the spider weaves its web, cannot deliver peace for them. James 3:18 “And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

No plans of man suggested path to salvation shall avail those who fail to claim the Redeemer's robe of righteousness. Every man who is destitute of the Spirit of Christ, runs swiftly to evil of some sort; but those regardless of Divine truth and justice, are strangers to peace. They shall cry peace but there will be no peace. Peace is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and any who would have it “abundantly” must know him through the shed blood of Jesus
Hebrews 13:20-2 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, (21) Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
All who ignore this commandment shall not know peace. Peace comes from a clean mind and a love of our lord unto salvation. Abundant peace lies within the joy and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 10:6
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
An awful time is soon coming. Be ready!
Revelation 6:4
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Until the day of the Lord I say as God said:
2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Know God, know peace. Amen 11-28-2019 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

  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
