Stand

  We learned in Ecclesiastes, "there is a time for all things." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) How often do go to the Lord to discuss our thankfulness or our infirmities? Abiding it the continuum of life guarantees there will be a filling of trouble and sorrow. That poison plant was grafted into existence by Adam and eve. It has total existence. It is a product of the devious mind of Satan. We stand openly aware that the swarm is approaching but we cannot fight what we cannot see. Microscopic marauders travel about seeking who they can devour. They are children of the devil. They go where he goes. COVID did not appear until Satan planted a seed. He can not stop scientists from developing a treatment for the maladies he sifts out of the bag of tortures that he has for us. Satan cares little when one disease is killed. There are millions of pestilences at his command. 

   To stand strong, or remain and endure is truly not a human's call. We simply continue in resistance but, too often, lack efficacy to abide. We crawl into the shelter and stand testing time. This too shall pass. Watch, listen, and learn. Get injections, do the mask always, spread sanitizes, and keep social distancing. Having done all you can do, stand. Cease from resisting and do not proceed in challenging or tempting Satan. Halt and remain stationary. When we stand, it's often in a manner unconducive to God's methods.

  Stand with eyes, ears and, heart open not inviting ruin or injury. Hold fast against tendencies to impair or intercede in God's work. Standing permanent and endure until the light at the end of the tunnel is shining. Having done all stand and find endurance, strength, resources that while you wait God developed. 

Romans 5:2 “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

1 Thessalonians 3:8 “For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.”

2 Thessalonians 2:15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”

Know God, know peace. Amen. 05/26/21 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 ...
