PROMISES
The promises of God are so numerous and astonishing that they are difficult to grasp. Yet, they can be all encompassed in the greatest promise for those who believe; the promise of eternal life. Sacrifices properly made in this life carry the promise both of reimbursement one hundred fold and also eternal life as a reward for obedience and faith. Jesus speaking to Peter:
Mark 10: 29 “And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,...and in the world to come eternal life.”
This promise extends into our time:
Galatians 3:17 “...I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (Ephesians 3:6) “That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”
Acts 2:39 “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Romans 4: 23 “God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Titus1:2) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Acts 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher. 30 But God raised him from the dead:...”
Romans 15:8 “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Peter 1:4) “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:”
Hebrews 10:36 “...after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
James 1:12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.” (Hebrews 10:23) “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”
2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise...”
1 John 2:25 “And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.”
2 Corinthians Chapter 7:1 “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
Revelation 22:12 “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Know God, know peace. Amen. 06-17-20 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 ...
