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 ...

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 ...
