All Nations

I don’t mingle political battles with Christ’s messages. However it seems necessary to elaborate on the subject of “our country, our nation, our corrupt leaders, etc.” Know this one thing, there is no ownership of any country save that of God. We live in some country. We abuse it politically, destroy its natural resources and then leave it for eternity. All nations seem to believe that somehow they inherited the land called home. They did not. Moving through a storm does not give you any control of its forces. We Christians will have ownership and authority in only New Jerusalem.

Revelation 7:9 “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (16) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. (17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”

The first fruit of holiness was Christ setting “the way.” First to the Jews then to the Gentiles who converted and ascribe their salvation to God and their redeemer. In acts of religious worship we come nigh to God, and must come by Christ; the throne of God could not be approached by sinners, were it not for a mediator. They were clothed with the robes made white by the blood of Jesus. Here in chapter seven we read that they had palms fronds in their hands as a symbol of their triumphs. This will be us when we have fought the good fight of faith, and finished our course. We will endlessly praise both the Father and the Son. There our praises, as well as our happiness, will be made perfect.

Christians who would gain knowledge, must not be ashamed to seek information from any who can increase their understanding. The path we walk toward the throne room of God passes through many tribulations but it shall not separate us from the love of God. It is the blood of the Lamb, that can wash away sin, and make the soul pure, clean and worthy. We will be happy in our new nation called heaven. Storms of life have led us to shed many tears. Sin is no respective of persons. Sin breeds affliction; but God will wipe those tears away. He became our all and all on the cross. All the redeemed owe their comforting spirit wholly to sovereign mercy; so Christ, our Savior, is our hope. His presence completes our happiness, hope and joy. From him we receive every needed grace; to Him belongs all praise and glory. Amen.

Know God, know peace. Amen 02/21/21 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
