Promise

Promise

Only God can soothe the striving, immortal soul. He made the heart for His glory. Only He can fill it with peace and love. That is a promise that He made to those who fulfill His purpose in our creation. Though it is a simple manner to return to God and serve His purpose he is a complex ruler of the universe. A God of peace, a God of war, he cuddles His own and chastens them. The enemy of God can expect stern reduction in numbers beneath His two edged sword. We are to walk circumspectly in his ways, rightly dividing the instructions in His Word. As iron sharpens iron, Christians sharpen one another. We must police our own.

Consider this: Two little children went into the creek side meadow to run and play. Adults knew the danger but hoped they would be okay. Then from his lyrein in the clift above, the dragon came out to sun. Oh! The prayers the adults sent up to God for the children’s safety. But the dragon knew no God. He ate the children and returned to his den to burp and nod.

When we see our Christian brothers and sisters wandering into the playing field of the “Old Dragon”. We are to take action to prevent their falling victim to the dragon. Once they are completely engulfed rescue, short of a miracle, is not possible. Only God, whom the dragon knows very well, keep His children from the teeth of the dragon. That is another promise found in His word.



Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Galatians 5:15 “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Romans 12:10 “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;”
Ephesians 4:32 “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
Romans 12:5 “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”
John 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
John 14:14 “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”
Know God, know peace. Amen 06/14/21 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 ...
