THINGS
Philippians Chapter 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.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

When God’s Children suffer unrelenting suffering, constant prayer is recommended. Not just our stated times for prayer, but continuous praying. We must strive to attend all worship services and give thanks to God for the blessings that we do still have. Heart given prayers and supplications will reach the throne of God. Approach the throne not only seek supplies of good, but confess the mercies we have received. God needs not to be told our wants or desires. he knows them better than we do. But, he will appreciate our stated value of His mercy, and recognize our dependence on him. The peace of God gives peace of mind. We get the comfortable sense of being reconciled to God; forgiven and cleaned. We shall experience the joy of having a part in his favor, and the hope of the heavenly blessedness. These things all together develop a greater good than can be fully expressed in words. The resulting peace will keep our hearts and minds calm through Christ Jesus. These things, if utilized, will keep us steadfast in the way. These things are our anchor in the storms of life. These things Jesus, the safe port, shelters our vessel from sinking under Satan driven storms. Job is a great example of these things in action. Our Lord will stay us and calm us with inward satisfaction. Christ’s chosen are to get and to keep a good name; a name for good things with God and good men. We must walk in the things of virtue and abide therein. Then, whether our praise is of men or not, it will be of God. The way to have the God of peace with us, is to keep close to the thing which are our duty. All our blessings and blood bought salvation arise in the free mercy of God. Yet, the enjoyment of them depends on our sincere and holy conduct. Hold fast to these things Paul said it: (1 Corinthians 13:7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

(2 Corinthians 4:18)
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

(Revelation 10:6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
Be ready, clean and rightous when Jesus comes. Know God , know peace. Amen 12-02-2019 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 ...
