Small Still Voice

Small Still Voice

It has been wisely said that God ‘speaks in a small, still voice. Often times the chatter and clatter of our own voices overshadows the words spoken of God. Some say that they wish God would speak to them as to others. God is no respecter Father. Could it be that we are not listening? Maybe we are in too great of a hurry. Maybe we have too many other voices in our heads. It could be that we are so far from Him that we cannot hear his voice. Sometimes we don’t like what He is saying so we ignore the voice. Our minds drift when in conversations with God and leave Him without a listener. Whatever the cause, we too often ignore that still small voice of God; why?

Genesis 3:8 “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.” (They were ashamed)

Genesis 4:10 “And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.” (Am I my brothers keeper – an excuse)

    Moses heard the voice from the burning bush. He knew it was God speaking. Yet he had many excuses to what God commanded him to complete. God speaks to individuals as well as to crowds.

    Luke 9:35 “And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.” (36) “And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man...”

John 5:25 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”
John 10:3 “To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.”
John 10:4 “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (John 10:27) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”
When Jesus walked the earth, men heard his voice as their own. What they heard caused them to crucify him as a sacrifice for our sins. He died on the cross but he would rise to live evermore. (Mark 15:37) “And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.”
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Know God, know peace. Amen. 03/23/21 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 ...
