All Nations

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 ...

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 ...
