Broken

 There are so many broken souls today in this shattered world. A bird caught in a snare, people flounder and flap about. Friends and foes alike struggle mentally and physically. Their demeanor reveals their feelings of great confusion; some brokenhearted. They have floundered, not knowing quite how to react to the current society's serious difficulty. The people of the world struggle mentally. Some react with violence, some through legal measures, and some with prayers amiss. All are flapping with a broken wing from the struggle in Satan’s snare. The fault is his. We share in the blame. 

 In life, I have found lives broken by Satan’s seductive art. Filled with Christ’s love and pity I’ve tried his love to impart. Broken wings will mend to an awkward flight. But the soul lent to Satan, is stricken and never rises as high again. 

 Like the bird caught in the poachers snare unable to escape and floundered to brokenness, some jitter-bug in Satan’s web until spirits are broken. If only those suffering pangs of discontent would only observe the entrapped soul in despair, it might keep them from the devil’s web. Thus the life Satan had withered would have saved another from the snare. Every loss has its compensation. Christ gives healing for every complaint. But the bird with a broken wing that mends never flies as high again.

 However, unlike the snared bird rescued and healed, broken faith and spirit brought before God is healed. There remains no deformity or limits to heights in flight. The wings that Christ mends soar out of sight. Satan cannot snare them; his devices have been revealed. Now, you broken and despaired, go to God’s word and get repaired. His grace he will give you to let you higher soar again.

 Romans 11:17 “14 ...If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? (17) And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches... The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith”.

 Ephesians 14:12 “That at that time ye were without Christ...and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;” 

 Know God, know peace. Amen. 05/19/21 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 ...
