Not Been Heard

I know a gospel song having the words; “oft times I rise from the alter of prayer knowing that I’ve not been heard.” This I have experienced. You may have felt it also. Why did we think God had not heard our prayer? Is there a possibility that we have too many other voices in our head? Could we have drifted so far away from Him that we no longer hear? Perhaps, we don’t want to hear His reply! You can be sure that we hear God’s voice; He said we would. Old Slew-foot wants to keep us doubting everything concerning God. How about trying rejecting the wares of the devil.

Whatever the blocking factors, this is a very serious situation. Hearing and knowing His voice is essential to our relationship with our Lord. Who knows when the window of opportunity to “make things right” will close? I have been taken away with cares of life, future planning and building earthly treasures. Though Loving and serving God, He did not have my full attention. It was a fault of my flesh; no more!

Some unknown soul composed words similar to these: “The Lord knows I’m guilty, of living my life. Like there is always tomorrow, for making things right. But our days are numbered, like the hairs on our head. No man knows the hour that he’ll shake hands with death.” (Matthew 10:30) “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Relation 3:3 “Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Matthew 24:44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Luke 12:40) Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. (Mark 13:32) But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”

Many situations in this life are unclear. However, one situation is very clear. “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.”

Know God, know peace. Amen 03/24/21 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 ...
