Troubles

It is no secret that people in this time and place are experimenting difficulty and problems as never before. It is a time that friends should support each other when they are in trouble. They say practice makes perfect and our troubles are just beginning. Even now we read of police officers being ambushed and killed or maimed. Children are being abused and neglected, marriages are on the rocks. (1 Corinthians 7:28) “But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.” Family finances are meager and default when loan default is eminent. Marriage is discouraged by rules of government. Thus, unmarried cohabitants are shacking together to receive more government handout. (Proverbs 15:16) “Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.” Men and women are turning against the natural use of their bodies sexually. Humans are slaying humans. Wars and threats of war abounds. In short, breaking one of God’s commandments is breaking all of them. However this perverse generation is not satisfied with that condition. They glorify in breaking each, one at a time, until all are null and void unto them.

God wrote that we can expect many kinds of distress and troubles in life; they will come. Hold fast to the faith of God’s mighty love and power. He will not allow us to suffer beyond what we can bare. Jesus said “let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God believe also in me. He also said that He would never leave us. Whatever trouble you are having or that befalls you, God has your back; you are covered. Job 14:1 “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” (Job 5:7) “Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.”

Psalms 119:143 “Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.” (Nahum 1:7) “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. (Matthew 9:35) “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” But the worst is yet to come: Matthew 24:21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” They who endure will hear:
Matthew 25:21 “...Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
Know God, know peace. Amen. O5/09/21 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 ...
