Deliverence

DELIVERANCE
It is not truly known whether wearing a mask will deliver us from the vicious touch of the Corona virus or if not wearing a mask welcome its attack. The old adage,” Better safe than sorry,” seems to be appropriate. I find it very interesting that it is the some forty percent who do not wear a mask against spreading the virus while in heightened contact locations are mostly non-Christians. Christians realize that their effort to protect others is Godly and desirable. These words are referred to by sinners concerning deliverance by God from this pestilence and decline the filtering out of their breaths and saliva spray that adds fuel to the spread of the virus; if they indeed have it already. “God will protect me.” I do not believe they actually feel that a God which they do not respect and worship, will hear their plea of self righteousness.
1 Corinthians 3:19 "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.”
The three Hebrew boys, when facing the fiery furnace for their refusal to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue spoke: (Daniel 3:17)  “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace,...” We Christians feel similarly concerning the virus. However we don’t wish to add to its flames.”
Many Christians have died of the virus; many more suffered through its tormenting claws. In all cases deliverance is in God’s hands. To boast of God’s intervention is tempting God. (Mark 7:6) "... This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
Matthew 4:7 “Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”
Isaiah 7:12 “But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
In teaching his disciples proper prayer methods, Jesus spoke in part: ( Luke 11:2)...“deliver us from evil. Amen. God has angels ready to deliver us from all evil.
Be protected, see the doctor, follow doctor’s advice, turn to God and if it be His will, live and enjoy deliverance. (Galatians 1) 3 “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Know God, know peace. Amen. 06-10-2020 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 ...

 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 ...
