THE DIFFERENCE

Prioritize and know the difference. When trying to get a grip on life as it runs a muck, Learn from God who and what to fear and what to calmly accept. (1 Peter 2:17) Honor all men (people), love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.” Certainly, the rules being set in an attempt to curb the ever increasing incidence of COVID-19 we should honor and respect those who are researchers and caregivers to the ill. Love thy neighbor as thyself and see to their needs so much as is within the scope of your ability. Since God has the final say, respectfully fear Him. Pray for Governments and respect their power and weapons of control. Government leaders have no choice but to withhold certain benefits from those not in compliance with their dictates. Do not respect the government officials above the fear of God. The power that you look to for your life subsistence will quickly become your God.(Mat. 6:11) “Give us this day our daily bread.” We respect the wrong entity when we respect government above God. God is the maker of the government and must be respected over its power. There is no such benefit as deliverance by government absent the hand of God. (1 Samuel 8:18). “And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.”
Today, churches are closing their doors due to government mandates. Fellow Americans, rest assured the answer to the plagues that haunt us do not ride on Air Force One. No other leader in this world holds the key to salvation or deliverance from sin, disease and pandemics. Only our Lord has the final say. (Judges 8:22-23) “Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.” (23) And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.” God has written the rules for our strongest survival. (See Colossians Chapter 3).
Today we see governments usurping authority over God’s mandates. Mandates concerning church closures and worship practices should be resisted (when possible) honoring the authority those in power. Obey all safety rules. Know God, know peace. Amen. 07-20-2020 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 ...
