The Fruit of the Holy spirit – Meekness

Psalms 37:11 “...the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” [Matthew 5:5] “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”

Meek refers to one having a mild, moderate, humble, or submissive quality. One who possesses the meekness from the Holy Spirit is accomplished in the art of donning an air of mild manner and respect. Christians simply cannot possess or display haughtiness, self elevation or superior attitude. Christians move quietly among the light of day and sleep peacefully at night. Meekness always leads to the elevation in character of people who possess this Spirit.

Numbers 12:3 “(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)”

Psalms 76:9 “...God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.”
Psalms 147:6 “The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.”
Psalms 149:4 “For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.”
Isaiah 29:19 “The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord...” [Galatians 5:23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 6:1 “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;...[Ephesians 4:2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;”
2 Timothy 2:25 “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves...[1 Timothy 6:11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness...”
Titus 3:2 “... speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.”
James 1:21 “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”
1 Peter 3:4 “But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.”
1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”
Zephaniah 2:3   “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.”
Colossians 3:12 “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;”
James 3:13 “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.”
Know God, know peace. Amen. 02/08/21 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 ...
