TURNING

Turning

Repent, getting saved, come to the Lord, conversion are all words that refer to the turning from a sin filled life to living and serving Christ. Associated with the turning is the confession; a recognition of forgiveness and a testimony of ones salvation. Simple as it seems, it is very difficult to get those “lost” to come to a point where the Lord can save their soul. One must solidify the change through a submersion baptism as a mark of the turning and representation of being buried and resurrected into the body of Christ Jesus. “Turn sinner turn” is the heu and cry put out by most Christians. Sinners do not seem to hear and neither do some idle Christians. Just promote safety or stats connected with world problems, government and diseases and they are all ears. We must turn our attention unto God while working to curb world issues. Only God has ALL the answers. Present Him as the comforter and healer.

Ezekiel 33:11 “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways;...” [Acts 26:18[ “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God,...”

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
Christians don’t look back to the world for your deliverance.
2 Peter 2:21 “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.”

2 Hebrews 12:25 “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 2 Timothy 4:4 “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” [Timothy 3:5] “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
Philippians 1:16 “... Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,”  Know God, know peace. Amen 08-13-2020 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 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
