The Strong Man

The Strong Man

There are many strong men and women in the world today. Both groups are pumped up unrealistically on steroids and wasted time. In my day, I suppose you m ght have classed me a strong man; made that way by God. Now, my old form has sagged and withered into the shape of a parsley root. I sit in the shade, clasp my turnip swollen girth and chew on straws quite mellow. I have a strong man in my corner who cradles me and takes vengeance upon those who would harm His child. Many of you also enjoy the loving protection of our savior.

Matthew 12:29 “...how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.”

Luke 11:21 “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: “
[Strong men of war may fight the battle of the devil but he is no match for the lad having God as his protector.]
1 Samuel 17:4 ”And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”

1 Samuel 17:44 “And the Philistine [Goliath] said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.

45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts,...” 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee;...that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47” “...48 “And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him;...”

Judges 15:15 [Consider Sampson]: “And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.”

Strong is the hand of God; stronger than any man. Know God, know peace. Amen 10-13-2020 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 ...

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 ...
