I'll Be Gone

I’LL BE GONE

There comes a time in every life when the living shall be gone. Some to their final reward and some simply to another place and time. There is a void, good or sorrowful, when separation comes and a new way of living begins. Friends change to accommodate the situation. I know of an association between a man and woman who were “close friends.” It was a one way friendship. The truth surfaced on the eve of Thanksgiving. The confession was made by the one low in love and friendship. “How can I know if I would be happier without, or with, you if you are hear every few days,” ( shortened for brevity) A realistic statement from the obviously long pondering mind. The heart cast to the four wends. “Unfortunately, by the time you know, I’ll be gone,” was the only logical reply.” That quality of “gone” is earthly and normally permanent; at best repetitive. There are holes in lives left behind that seek fulfillment. Often life is willingly forfeited. Such are the workings of the devil and wrong solutions to God’s plan.

There is another parting that devastates those left behind. It is termed death, though, in truth, the absence of “life” from the body of clay is not death. It is but a parting; changing places. Created life is eternal. Planning and working is necessary if Christians are to join, once again and permanently, with sleeping Christian friends and family. There are those who melt away from this dirt wrapping into a burning lake of fire. They chose that move while in the flesh. It cannot be reversed once the move is made. All who make it will scream to be allowed to decide differently. However their fate is sealed. They will be brought to life again, resurrected, but only to suffer the second death then back to the lake of fire called hell.
Revelation 20:10 “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
Revelation 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Woe unto those who will not choose but allows Satan choose for them. Their fate is then the same as his as described in Revelation.

As for those who sleep peacefully in the Bosom of Abraham, they experience a totally different awakening. Those who walk with God at that time will also join in victory in Jesus.”
“Wisdom, knowledge and understanding the deep secrets of God and all in His word needs to be every Christian’s Prayer.
Ecclesiastes 8:16 “When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)” Die right and arise toward heaven. Seperation is but for a moment. The dead in Christ shall not “be gone” forever. There is coming a day when our Lord will call and we will answer; both the living and the dead.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

How is it that we have assurance in rising again to Christ Jesus?
Hebrews 10:22 :Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.”
1 Thessalonians 5:22 “Abstain from all appearance of evil. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” Let your walk reflect your love for God and His creations.

James 1:26 “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.”
1 Peter 3:12 “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” Draw nigh unto the gate of pearl traveling the narrow path of righteousness. Amen. Know God, know peace. 01-12-2020 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 ...
