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 ...

 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 ...
