“
CHANGE ”
And he shall
speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the
saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time. Dan 7:25
The enemy always
works to outlaw the truth. His incessant efforts have been to make the
word of God an offence punishable by human courts. All our early Fathers, from
the Apostles to this hour have been criminalized by the beast. Bunyun, wrote
most of His works behind bars. He was
bound but the Word of God was not, nor will it ever be bound, by men!
The legislation, policies and populous attitude which has permeated our land for the last hundred years, and more so the last 50, has given rise to a culture of idolatry, paganism and death.
It is said, He shall wear them
out, by afflictions, assaults, waves and floods of constant attack!
I have heard of
our young ones assaulted by the perverse agenda’s of the government propaganda
schools; marginalized, ridiculed and mocked, for their convictions about
creation, God, morality, biblical gender principles, the human condition of man, the need for
redemption etc.
And they are
standing! Hallelujah. Hallelujah! By Gods grace, our funny looking teens, with
their weird music, and strange clothing, like we’ve not been there, still know
the truth, and demonstrate a level of grace, that some adults lack, when it
comes to the cost of coming out as a believer in the truth of God’s Word.
This is the
blessing, of being under the gospel, and having it set forth week after week
after week, in an uncompromising fashion. This is God’s blessing upon His
promise!
But the
judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to
destroy it unto the end. Dan 7:26
The
Pastor’s Commentary and Outline
Go thy way,
eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now
accepteth thy works. 8 Let thy garments
be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
Eccl 9:7,8
The labors of all God’s people are accepted , when done for Him and wrought by His Spirit. What a gracious Savior, to give us gifts, employ them by His grace and then, receive them from his people as if they were ours. Phil 2:12
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. Isa 26:12
I thank God for such an effusion of his presence this conference. The joy , diligence and care, that all of you, who labored to make this conference work, was a tremendous testimony to the mercy of God, in the life of His feeble people. Nothing went unnoticed! Not from the guest, to the Pastor’s, certainly not our Worthy Sovereign for whom these things were performed, nor His angels, and I’m sure some devils, but mostly by me. I saw a measure of Grace in your cooperation and service that truly adorned the gospel!
I was especially humbled to see so many faces , which were the product of your accepting the charge to bring the lame, the blind, the halt, the ignorant, the unlearned, of friends, family, co-workers, who never heard the gospel, let me know that God was gracious to answer our prayers. Titus 2:9-15
Pastor Don and Shelby, Pastor Gene and Judy, insisted that I let you know how well served they were and that they too were privileged to join us in this years convocation.
The LORD bless thee, and
keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face
shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 27 And they shall put my name upon the children
of
Hot with Infinite Affection!
(Him) Thou art
beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as
I tell you, redeemed soul, that God sees you as much as
if there were no others for his eyes to look upon!
And he cares for you as infinitely, and with as undivided a heart,
as if you were the only soul that he ever bought with his blood!
If you were his only elect one, his only redeemed one,
his only loved one, he could not deal with you more
tenderly and more lovingly than he is dealing with you now.
He can always see you, though you cannot always see him.
When your eye of your faith is dim, his eye of his care is not.
When your heart seems dead and cold toward him, his
heart is still Hot with Infinite Affection Toward You
Now unto
him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before
the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory
and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
