FIND & SEEK

Acts 17:27

24 “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being;

Jesus came not to play hide and seek with a hell bound people. He came to reveal a path in the other direction. As a manner of speaking, He must be sought but, due to the softness of His heart, he hides in plain view and lays out directions to where he can be found. Once we find Him, nothing is ever the same as it had been. Once we have spiritually touched the hem of His garment, we are given by Him a new life that never grows old. We are then called a child of God. Cleansed of all sin and in the flesh, the Spirit soars as an eagle flies.

Conversation and interaction is desired by our Heavenly Father. He encourages fervency and constancy in prayer. We must seek Him to obtain His promises. We must know that He never leaves us and will always hear and recognize our voice. Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

We must come prayerfully seeking that which is needful. We must come believing in the willingness and assurance that Our Lord will provide our every need. If God does not answer our prayers speedily, patience is require; he will in due time. Still, we continue to pray; seeking first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be given us. We seek the will of God in prayers and ask for the Holy Spirit to lead us to in praying well, but as all spiritual blessings are included in that sector of the God Head. For by the influences of the Holy Spirit we are brought to know God and ourselves, to repent, believe in, and love Christ. His spirit stands at the ready: Matthew 7: 7 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Armes are wide open, inviting seekers to find pease of mind in their Love. In this way, we are made comfortable in this world, and gain streingth for happiness in the next. All these blessings our heavenly Father is more ready to bestow on every one that asks for them, than an indulgent parent is to give food to a hungry child. And this is the advantage of the prayer of faith, that it quiets and establishes the heart in God. He is a jealous God and can be brought to anger quickly if ignored. Zephaniah 2:3 “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.”

There is coming a day when the wrath of God will be poured out on all non-believing people. God would not allow His “perfect” children to experience His Judgmental wrath. Seek him while you can still find Him. Following the taking out of the church, Bride of Christ, there will be horrible days as has never been before. Revelation 9:6 “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” Only seek Him before the sounding of the trumb. When you hear its chilling moan, it is too late; you are left behind if you have not found Him. Know God, know peace. Amen. 01-28-2020 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 ...
