Go on Faith Alone

Go on Faith Alone

The gospel writers record the event of Jesus sending the twelve disciples into the land of Judea to preach the gospel to the Jews. He commanded them to take no provisions. They went forth on faith alone. They returned no less abated for their courageous journey. They did not question. They did not grumble. They went where Jesus sent them on faith alone. We must not question where God directs us to go or what he fills our hear with a need to do.

Moses had many excuses and arguments to offer to God to avoid the task God had prepared him to do in Egypt. Moses fearfully pleaded with God to choose someone else go to Pharaoh and free God’s children from bondage of four hundred years. Moses did not feel capable or ready to go. Know that God’s will does not always wait until we feel ready. God will pursue us with His plans, and we must be faithful to obey when His call comes to our hearts. He will go with us. We must believe that He will go.

Exodus 4:12 “Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. (13) And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.” (In plain old English: Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.)

God never sends us into battle empty handed. He never wants us to suffer loss or damage. He is a loving God who planned our life before we were. He is a loving God.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Romans Chapter 32:2 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (28) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. (31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Keith and Kristyn Getty wrote and sings; “In Christ Alone:”

“In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song...
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here, in the love of Christ, I stand

By faith alone...”

Go where God would have you go and go willingly in strong faith. Know God, know peace. 04/20/21 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 ...

 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 ...
