Home

I hear news that many of us have been spending more time at home during the last few months. As a result, many families have grown closer in love. Some however have not. The reported incidences of domestic related violence has increased. For some homes is a blessing; for others, a torment. God created the perfect home and called it Eden. Inhabitants were not satisfied. Many homes of many designs, owned or leased, costly or cheap, for freedom or for confinement have been strategically planned and erected. Many homes are in the making; some will mature, some will not. If we cling to the promises of Jesus Christ, we have a home built on the Rock that will withstand eternal passing. (John 14:3) 1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare (make ready) a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (Hebrews 11:16) “... wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. (Revelation 21:2) “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Our earthly homes, with all their troubles, trials and heartaches, will pass away but our heavenly home is complete and ready for us to move in. No home on earth is truly ours. New Jerusalem is my home and I want to go there; do you? Consider these “homes”:
Matthew 8:6 “And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.”
Mark 5:19 “Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.”
Luke 9:61 “And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.”
2 Corinthians 5:6 ”Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:”
John 19:27”Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.” (John 20:10) “Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.”
Where are these homes that are listed above today? Some remnant might be found but it certainly isn’t a home. Yes, we are requested to stay home and dislike the order. In our “New Jerusalem” home we will experience all the fruit of the Holy Spirit and contentment, joy and exceeding happiness forever. Know God, know peace. Amen 05-18-2020

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
