Have heard this many times and always enjoy hearing it again and again… reminds me of the Gospel: we have heard it is a condensed way as we have this song, many times; but to hear it in its full, true state of meaning is yet to be heard… as many who have fought, bled, and even died for this country and never heard the full rendition of Taps, even so with they who have believed, suffered, bled, and died for the Gospel. Every time I hear this I am reminded of this fact… The title Il Silenzio, is befitting of waiting upon the LORD in respect to all He has did, is doing, and will continue to do so as to honour our heavenly FATHER. All else is is immaterial… how awe inspiring the LORD is… even as this young lady’s anointed playing of this song of respect. YAH bless, Buzz

Just recently added the four stidies from the October 2010 meeting to the website. Pray that they inspire you to search deeper in the Living Word.

The Appearance of Evil

buzz_roberts — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:05:34 +0000

APPEARANCE OF EVIL

What do we mean when we say something is evil? Have you ever told someone teasingly that they were evil? Let us search, for the literal meaning of this word, in the Webster‘s 1828 Dictionary. It reads, To be unjust, injurious or defraud. (Hebrew) Having bad qualities of a natural or moral kind, wicked, corrupt, perverse, wrong; as evil thoughts, evil deeds, evil speaking, an evil generation.
What does God’s Word, say about evil? In I Timothy 5:22, Paul instructs young Timothy to ‘abstain from all appearance of evil.’ (Abstain-to hold oneself off, refrain-to manually or mentally hold yourself back from some action or deed.) (All-every, thoroughly, whatsoever and whosoever.) (Appearance-a view-to examine with the eye, to give attention to, inspect or explore.) By you, and/or by someone else, as others are always examining, and inspecting us in relationship to our deeds, and/or lifestyle. (Evil: bad, evil, grievous, harmful, lewd, malicious and wicked. Hurtful, evil in effect or influence. To degenerate from original virtue. Morally culpable-guilty of crimes, immoral and sinful. Masculine, singular, the devil; plural, it refers to sinners).
Let us look at the term, “To degenerate from original virtue”. What was and is original virtue? Some digression has taken place, a falling away from something that existed before. (Original-a fountain, a source, a cause, that from which anything primarily proceeds. That which gives existence or beginning.) An apostasy is believed to have been the origin of moral evil, (Apostasy-to defect or depart). Adam and Eve’s open rejection of GOD, and His spoken commandments, in the garden of Eden. Genesis 2:17, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest of it, thou shall surely die.”
Now, the phrase, ’ knowledge of good and evil,’ in the Hebrew, means: “cunning, ignorantly, to know, to wittingly connive for good and evil.” Connive means “to pretend ignorance or blindness.” Is that how the serpent acted in his response to Eve in the garden, with pretended blindness to the words she answered to him? Whether you believe the serpent had the form of a snake or a man, he/it was still the very essence of an evil presence in the garden of Eden.
GOD told Adam and Eve both, ‘Thou shalt not eat of it, or touch it, for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shall surely die.” GOD told them plainly that He knew they were going to disobey Him. Why? Why were Adam and Eve created with a weakness to give into this evil? We call this ‘free will. Even as they, learned from their choices and mistakes; even so we, must learn, from our own, today. In choosing to listen, to the serpent’s lies, and ignoring, what the Creator GOD, had commanded; they set loose, a spirit of rebellion, upon this earth. From that day on, each man born of women, has been faced, and will continue to be faced, with the question, “hath GOD said?” Shall I do what I want, and not choose to follow Him, in this particular situation I am faced with in my life? We, mankind, can always justify some deed or choice, if we choose, not to seek His will, in a particular situation.
We may ask others to give us advise, and they may unknowingly, steer us away from the best or perfect choice, for us. But in the end, we still had to put our approval on the deed, we alone are responsible. For this reason, it is best to pray about it, and seek advise only from someone who we know loves the Lord, and is a good prayer warrior. Just the fact that they love us, does not establish them as a good counselor. Reading, meditating and obeying GOD’S word is the quickest way to allow the Holy Spirit to give us Divine counsel. When His word is in our heart, He can reveal His ways to us. HIS nature will be imparted to us.
In Genesis 2:17, the Hebrew word for evil is defined as “naturally or morally bad, adversity, distress, trouble, sorrow, wretchedness, and grief.” One of Satan’s name’s in the Holy Scriptures is Adversary. First Peter 5:8 states, “Be sober, be vigilant, because your Adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking who he may devour.” (Sober, means -abstain from wine, be discreet, watch) To watch, we must have our faculties working at full capacity as we endeavor to walk the Christian walk. To be vigilant means one is to keep awake, be watchful. Again, we are exhorted to be alert. Why? Because our adversary, opponent, arch-enemy, especially Satan, also known as the devil, is, as a roaring lion, roaring out his lies, with a lying, deceptive sound. “Walks about”: treads all around, walks at large boasting of his ability. He lives, deports himself, follows us like a companion. He is seeking, plotting against our very lives, and souls.)
The word, Plot, in the above scripture, means, a conspiracy, against the very life we live today. When the word ‘conspiracy’ is voiced, or read, a lot of people refuse to listen to the rest of the statement, or story. But this is not merely a man’s opinion, but the Hebrew translation from GOD‘S word. Check it out for yourself, using a Strong‘s Exhaustive Concordance. A dictionary, made to be used with the King James Version of the Bible. This book is one of many trusted study books, written and used, by Christian scholars, over the years, to break the verses back to the original translation, and choices of meaning.
The verse continued, reads, ‘Whom he may devour‘, referring to the Adversary, the devil. This refers to, any man women or child, any thing, he, may entirely, gulp, drink down, devour, drown, and swallow up, by using knowledge, i.e., information. Thoughts to our minds, from some outside source.
When we are exposed to some point of knowledge, via media: movies, television, internet, books, magazine’s, and lectures, we find ourselves confronted with this question, ‘hath GOD said?’ The question is always the same. The information, i.e., knowledge, can either confirm, to our hearts, that to us, GOD the Father exists; we acknowledge, that we do believe, that JESUS CHRIST, is His Son, our personal SAVIOUR; and that there is a definite battle, between the Godhead, and the forces of evil: being Satan and his followers, stemming from Lucifer’s rebellion against GOD. (Lucifer , was the name given to Satan before he chose to rebel against the LORD of the heaven’s.)
If we choose to deny the Lordship of CHRIST, we elect to be our own master and the author of our own destiny. Which ever road a person chooses to follow, he or she will still have to choose between good and evil every day of their individual lives.

(The Godhead consists of; GOD, the Father; JESUS CHRIST, His Son; and the HOLY SPIRIT, the promised Comforter to believers of Jesus Christ.. This union is, also known, as the Holy Trinity; three offices, but one LORD.)
In the Old Testament, book of Isaiah 14:12, you can read, and study about Lucifer’s fall from heaven, and from God‘s grace.

Every morning when we wake, we are faced with choices. What will I do, with the gift of my life today? The very essence of life, is precious indeed. It is a short journey. Read an obituary list, paying special attention to the year of someone’s birth, to the year of their death. It sounds very short. I know that none of us, like to think of our own mortality. But just as certain as death, is the fact that each of us has been blessed with this gift of life we now experience.

We have one opportunity to live in this flesh. Let us seek earnestly to know the LORD GOD, and please Him, let us earnestly pray for ourselves, and those we love, that we like Paul and Timothy, may shun the ‘very appearance of evil.’
May CHRIST guide each of us, and give us ears to hear Him. And may He give us wisdom and courage; to abstain from, and weed out negative, or empty things, we have allowed to become a part of our daily lives, robbing us of valuable time. Things that do not glorify Him, or edify us, as children of the Most High GOD. What an honor we have, to serve HIM. May we learn to respect the ONE we serve, with positive fruit in our own daily lives. Remember, when you think you are alone, HE is in your heart. Let Him become your best friend. He hears every word. Do we give Him, quiet time, to listen, to His word’s, to our hearts?
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you, who GOD leads to this message, called, ‘HIS PROMISE.’ Thank you for your words of encouragement as you respond to these short messages. With God’s leading, I will continue to share with you, as He leads me. (This and other teachings can be found at Loaves and Fishes, on our web site at: buzz_roberts.com)

What Is Joy?

buzz_roberts — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 02:36:26 +0000

What is Joy? Where and how can we as individual people find it? I was recently asked , “what joy was?” We have all heard people declaring casually, that they, had the “Joy.” What does God’s word say about it?
In the Old Testament, the first instance where the word “joy” is used, is in I Samuel chapter 18: Israel, was in the midst of war; Saul, who was the current King, had lost favor with GOD, by his disobedience to the commandments of God.
Samuel, God‘s select prophet for that day, had recently been told by the LORD GOD Himself, to anoint David, the son of Jesse to be the next King of Israel. David was a shepherd in his father’s fields. He was young, but must have also been courageous and obedient to his father; for the Scriptures state that he had spent many a night guarding the sheep from wild beasts.
He was also known, for his skill in playing the harp and singing of psalms. He had spent many a night in his father’s fields, serenading his God, and soothing the sheep. He was an avid praiser and worshiper of the LORD GOD.
The Lord had given him strength to kill a lion and a bear, in the defense of his father’s sheep. Apparently he had become very close to the LORD, and learned to listen to HIS voice, during these long nights. His faith in GOD had grown immensely, thereby enduing him a beautiful countenance.
One day, during this particular time of war, David’s father asked him, to take some food to his brothers who were on the front lines amassed against the Philistine enemy; fighting for King Saul, on behalf of the Nation of Israel. He was also to inquire of them concerning the battle and it’s progress.
When he arrived, Israel was bantering with the Philistines. They had a mighty champion, named Goliath, of Gath. He was intimidating the Israelite soldiers with his enormous stature and demeaning language. He was said to be of the last of the Giants, as referenced in Genesis 6:4. Indeed, he was a giant of a man and the terror of the Philistine army. The Israelite army fled before him in helpless fear.
As David looked upon the fear and anguish in the faces of Israel, he was encouraged in his heart. He felt courage from the Almighty God himself. He believed strongly, that everything he had learned about pasturing, and defending the sheep, could now be used by GOD Himself, to defend his people. To protect the sheep of GOD’S pasture God had been preparing the way for David to be king of His people. This must have been in his mind as well. Samuel had already anointed him to be king someday.
A rage of defiance grew in the heart of David, who had been groomed for this type of battle by the hand of GOD. He was not intimidated by the size or stature of this Philistine giant. He ‘knew,’ what faith in GOD could accomplish.
He boldly inquired of the soldiers: what would be given to the man who could slay this ungodly Philistine, and remove the reproach from Israel? When his courageous words, were relayed to Saul the King, David was rushed to his tent. I Samuel 17:32 , states, that David encouraged the king, that none should be fearful. For he, as a servant to the king, would fight Goliath on behalf of the people. Saul replied that David was but a youth, and had never been in a battle. Goliath on the other hand, had been trained from his youth, in war. He was considered a master in battle.
David encouraged Saul, about the training, he had undoubtedly received, while guarding his father‘s sheep. On one particular occasion, a lion had caught and stole a lamb away, in his ferocious grasp. He approached the lion, and pulled the sheep out of it’s teeth. In doing this, he enraged the lion, who leaped at him. David slayed the lion, in defense of his father’s sheep. Scares on his body must have been visible proof shown to the King in defense of this miraculous story.
He also proclaimed, “Thy servant slew both the lion and a bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine, (non-Israelite) shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the Living GOD. The LORD hath delivered me out of the paw of the lion and the bear, and HE will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine warrior.“
David must have impressed the king, because, his reply was, “The LORD go with you.” Then he proceeded to dress David in his own armor. David picked up the sword. This way of fighting was foreign to him. He could not fight this battle the king’s way. He must use the weapons GOD had perfected in him. He removed all the metal, and picked up his shepherd’s staff, leaving the tent.
As he drew near to the Philistine army, he crossed a brook, Kidron. He picked up five smooth stones, placed them in his shepherd’s bag, his sling in his hand. Five, in biblical numerics, representing grace, divine favor. He chose five smooth stones-no roughness or pointed edges were left on these stones, they had been smoothed by the test of time, whereby preparing them, to fly through the air, straight to their intended target. They like David, were ready for battle to be used by the Great Shepherd’s hand.
As he approached the army of the Philistine‘s, David declared: “You come to me with sword, spear and shield. But I come to you, in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the GOD of the armies of Israel, who you have despised. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee; and cut your head off, and I will leave the entire Philistine army dead for the birds and wild beasts to devour; by this Victory, will all men know, there is a GOD in Israel. This legion of men shall see that the battle is the LORD‘S. Today, He will give you into our hand.”
David ran closer, selecting a stone from his bag; the stone was in the sling; and flying through the air, deep into the forehead of the champion; before the warrior could react. He fell to the earth dead. David ran up to him, picked up the warrior’s own sword and decapitated him. When the Israelites saw that the Philistine’s were now frightened and at a disadvantage, they pursued them. This is how GOD won the battle for them that day.
From this day forth, whatever strategy the king set before David, he accomplished with great intelligence and with the utmost success. Because of this, Saul elevated him in the army. This pleased the people and Saul’s army as well. He became a National Hero.
When king Saul, and his army; were returning home after the defeat of the Philistine’s; the women ran out to them singing and dancing in celebration of the occasion. (I Samuel 18:6) And it came to pass as they came, they saw David also with them; he was returning as the conquering hero who had slain Goliath of Gath, the champion of the Philistine army. The story of the slingshot miracle had already reached every ear.
The people were excited. The women came running forth from all the cities of Israel; with joy, playing musical instruments with much singing and dancing. This is the first use, of the word ‘JOY,’ in the scriptures. It means exceedingly glad, and with great rejoicing, as a festival. The women sang a song saying, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. The people were ‘reacting to the victory GOD had won,’ at the hand of David. David recognized that GOD was with him in battle. Unfortunately, Saul and the people did not.
We as Christians must learn to recognize the hand of GOD in our lives. It is at times like this of David, that we may experience the Joy of the Lord. We each have experienced special and sometimes miraculous deliverance’s in our lives: near death experiences, miraculous answers to prayers. We should never take these for granted; the many and varied situations which could have turned out disastrous or even fatal. But miraculously, with meaning and purpose which promotes the will and glory of God, every incident, in a Christian’s life should be weighed in Father’s balance. When properly done so one can behold His grace, giving us a thankful heart, giving us great joy, because of His special touch in our lives. We are being prepared daily for the battle which will end in the final blow to God’s enemy and ours, who is called Death.
When we see HIS handiwork, we, like David, must learn to give God the glory. We do this by thanking Him and telling others of His intervention in our lives. Yes, He loves each of us personally. But He wants each of us to share His blessings in our lives with others, so they may learn to trust Him also.
God, indeed saved David from the teeth and mighty claws of the lion and the bear, to protect him. But it was on behalf of his father’s sheep, that he was in the fields, whereby giving opportunity to slay these enemies of his Father’s sheep. Even so, it was on behalf of the people of God, that David slaughtered the champion of the Philistine’s. God gave him these two victories in defense of His helpless creature’s, the Israelite Nation.
We as the creation of God, though gifted in many respects, are quite helpless when it comes to our own mortality. Our only hope rests in the divine person of Jesus Christ; who sacrificed Himself, becoming our atonement, providing us access to the presence of His Father, God. Jesus is the Deliverer from the enemy called Death. He has opened the door for all to come to the knowledge of Life and the joy it brings through trust and obedience to Him.
As we study His word and seek Him in our daily lives, we will experience moments of that pure “Joy;” that is to us, like a beam of heaven, shining into these new hearts of flesh God created by faith in His Son. May His true ‘JOY,’ fill your hearts and lives, as we learn to recognize and remember, all the times, His divine Touch was evident in our lives. We walk with Christ by faith, but sometimes He gives us visible proof of His everlasting Love and abundant Grace in our daily lives. We are trully blessed, when we come to know Him as LORD.
If you have never experienced anything like this, then invite Him into your life, by asking Him to forgive you of all your sin and make you complete in Him. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Breathe in the clean, pure air, and learn to recognize His ‘Joy’ in your life.
May Christ richly bless you in your daily lives, R. Roberts

Morsels of Manna

buzz_roberts — Wed, 19 May 2010 16:31:18 +0000

I realize we all receive hundreds of emails every month. Each one is trying to persuade us in some form, concerning what we should desire or believe. What I am sharing with you, is from the King James Version of the Bible, using the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, to translate today’s version back to the original manuscripts. Some people may not know these tools are available for us to use today. They give us a clearer picture of what the bible originally said. Sometimes, their may be several meanings, and I try to give you all of them, as it relates to the subject.
The book of Titus was written for the early Christian church. It was simply a letter, written to Titus himself. He was a Gentile, convert to Christ, not of Judean descent;who Paul the Apostle had ordained to teach the people of Crete. This letter, was instructions, for those people and also we today who desire to know more deeply the mind of Christ. Maybe their is something here for each of you to expand upon in your own life, as their has been for me, in my studies.

MORSELS OF MANNA
Titus 3:1- 5
1) Remind the people to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to do every good work. {Quietly suggest to them, to be subject to, to submit themselves, to authority and regulated powers, not attracting negative attention to oneself, but always prepared to act as a law abiding citizen .
2) To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle showing all meekness to all men.(Do not blaspheme or defame anyone. Be a peace maker, not a trouble maker. Do not be prideful, or arrogant; always getting your own way. Show humility, by stepping back quietly, instead of overreacting either verbally or physically.) Ouch!
3) For we ourselves were also one time foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving all kinds of divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. (We ourselves have also been carnal, unwise, unintelligent, stubborn, roaming away from the truth. Being a slave to various ‘forbidden’ desires and pleasures. Living a troubled life, void of good manners and morals. Acting out of jealousy, and hateful to one another)
4) But after, the kindness and love of God, our Savior, toward man appeared.
(When the usefulness, gentleness, moral excellence, goodness) of love of God (Fondness and love toward mankind, and benevolence-philanthropy.)
Our Savior (Our Deliverer, our God, and our CHRIST-GOD’S MESSIAH} toward man appeared. (when He became visible, shined His light upon us) CHRIST in the flesh, reveals Himself to each of us through His Holy Scriptures. To know Him, we must seek for Him in His Word..
5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, (Not by our own efforts, occupations, or deeds. Nor by our own character, can we be justified.) but according to His mercy has He saved us, (But because of His active, human and Divine compassion and tender mercies, (He saves, delivers, protects, heals, and preserves us.) by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.(a bath, immersion, a baptism- to be initiated into the kingdom of CHRIST.) of regeneration (The state or the act of spiritual rebirth. New birth, by the grace of God, that change, by which the will, and natural enmity of man to God, and His law are subdued, and a principle of supreme love to God and His law, or holy affections, are implanted into our hearts.) Messianic restoration. (To ask for Christ to forgive us of all our sins, and cleanse us from all ungodliness, brings us into the kingdom of God. As we walk with Him daily, He continues, to cleanse us from things in our lives that are not pleasing to Him. Accepting Him as God’s Messiah, brings restoration- a spiritual renewal of holiness through His Word of Truth, the Bible.
My prayer is that this study will encourage you, to read, to study, and absorb, the truths, from Father’s Word, on a daily basis. It is here we are given a look into the mind and heart of the Holy God. What a privilege indeed. Here, we can begin to know; what God thinks, what He wants, from each of us, and what He has already, provided for each of us.
His willing sacrifice of Himself, who also was God’s choice, of the spotless, perfect lamb of God, by His death on Mt. Calvary‘s cross. His miraculous Resurrection from the dead, and Ascension of His flesh and spirit body, to the right hand of God. What powerful morsels of truth await us, as we earnestly seek Him in spirit and in truth.
Your Sister In CHRIST, Robyn Roberts

Matthew 6:9-13
9) After this manner therefore pray ye, “Our FATHER who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. (pray-to be pray earnestly to GOD, to believe for HIS will.)
(Father-Our Heavenly parent.) (Heaven-sky- the abode of GOD.) (Hallowed-to make holy, purify or consecrate. Mentally to venerate-deep respect or reverence for GOD. HE is pure, holy and consecrated-set apart.) (THY Name- THY authority. HIS character from the idea of HIS notoriety.)
10) THY kingdom come. THY will be done in earth, as in heaven.

A Clean Heart And Soul

buzz_roberts — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:30:38 +0000

A CLEAN HEART AND SOUL

How do we know our heart and soul are clean before God?
Ephesians 5:24-26:
“Therefore as the church is subject unto “CHRIST,” (Church-A calling out from the world; a religious community; members on earth or saints in heaven. Subject unto-to be under obedience to, and submit ones self unto the CHRIST. CHRIST -The Anointed Son of God, the promised Messiah of the Old Testament) “so let wives be to their own husbands in everything.”
(We, the church as a whole, are ‘the spiritual wife’ of CHRIST; as such, we are subject unto our own husband-who is, the ‘LORD GOD’ Himself. “In everything,“-thoroughly, wholly, completely.) CHRIST is concerned about every facet of our lives. If it is important to us, then it is important to Him.
We are looking at this spiritually, however there is an earthly meaning also, for married couples.
“Husbands, love your wives, even as CHRIST loved the church and gave Himself for it.”( CHRIST- surrendered, willingly sacrificed, His Royal Blood, on the cross of Calvary, as our perfect Atonement. HE, as GOD’S High Priest, had ‘no sin’ in Himself.)
“That HE might sanctify it (the church) and cleanse it, with the washing of water, by the word.” (Making His church, Holy, purified and consecrated-setting us apart, dedicating us to the worship of God the Father. To mentally venerate-to regard CHRIST with respect and reverence in our thoughts, and deeds.)
(Cleanse with washing of water- to purge or purify with baptism or total immersion, into all CHRIST’S spoken and written Word.) His Word make us clean.
Psalms 119:11 “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, That I might not sin against Thee. (Your Word, commandments,’ have I reserved, protected, esteemed, absorbed into my heart: my feelings, my will, my intellect, the center of my being) that I might not sin against Thee. (To repent, to take the blame, to be purged and purified by GOD, through CHRIST’S , commands and written Word to us)
Ephesians 5:26: (Speaking to us, His church.) That HE might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water by the word. (To be sanctified and purified by being totally immersed in His Truth.
It feels so-good to be clean! LORD, we are so grateful to Thee!
May our LORD richly bless each of you,
Robyn

HIS Promise

buzz_roberts — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:53:36 +0000

John 14:1-4
Christ’s words to His disciples following the last supper. Also, Jesus telling Judas, to go and do quickly, what he was going to do. Judas left the LORD and his brethren at the supper, going straight to the wicked religious leaders. They hated JESUS words of truth so much,that they were at that moment, planning how to convict HIM so they could put HIM to death, ridding themselves of this Holt Man , who claimed to , the SON of GOD. By this act of treason not only would Judas be responsible, but the Jewish religious high arch of that day. Scarring the works of mortal man in the eyes of GOD and all mankind for eternity. Putting their complete approval on putting to death GOD’S holy fulfilment of prophecy, the coming MESSIAH, and LORD of all the ages.
HIS disciples who loved HIM so much, who had spend the last three and one-half years with HIM, were getting ready to stand alone. They did not understand what was getting ready to take place.

Scripture:
Let not your heart be troubled,(Trouble yourselves not, in your thoughts or your feelings) you believe in GOD, believe also in me.
(You put your faith in, commit and entrust yourself to the Exceeding High GOD. Have faith, especially with your spiritual well being in me the CHRIST, GOD’S MESSIAH, GOD’S SAVIOR)
In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would tell you. I go to prepare a place for you.
(In my “own” FATHER’S home or residence, their are abundant, great and plenteous places of abode, or residences, and yes, it even says “mansions”. If it was not true, I-CHRIST would have told you. I travel, I depart, I take a journey to go and prepare, and make ready, a spot, a location, a specific place, for each of you)
If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself. That where I AM, ye may be also.
(Provided that I depart, and take this journey, to prepare, and make ready for you, a spot, a position, a location, or a home. I will appear, I will grow, I will Light for you again, (HE is the LIGHT of the world) once more, HE returns to us. That where HE is, with FATHER, there we may dwell, should stand, also.)
May you be deeply blessed by HIS promise today, Robyn

March 5-6, 2010 Meeting

buzz_roberts — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:48:16 +0000

Well, looks like we are back on track for our meeting. Diane has reserved the group camp building in Chem-A-Haut state park near Bastrop, Louisiana. The weather derailed us in January but we are believing this will materialize as planned. We will be gathering together on a Friday afternoon at 2:00 on the 5th. The camp is reserved until Sunday the 7th. at noon.
Directions are, if proceeding from the South: from Monroe, La. take US 165 or 139 North to Bastrop; take US 425 North to Louisiana 2229 (State Park Road; turn right off of US 425; drive 1 mile to entrance). If coming from the North: go South out of Hamburg, Arkansas; take US 425 to Louisiana 2229 (State Park Road; turn left, drive 1 mile to entrance). You will need to bring your bedding, toiletries, towels. If you feel led you can bring some food. It will be prepared there in the Building’s kitchen by those who are attending. If you have any questions about what food, etc is needed contact us here at this site. This 503 acre Park site takes its name from the French meaning “High Road”, which was the route used by the Native American Indians many years ago in their migrations.
We do hope you are able to join us for some fellowship and Bible study. It has been a couple of years or more since we have been able to meet in this area. It has always been a blessed time of communion with the Lord and each other during our meeting. Biblical oils, grain grinders, water purifying systems, precious metals are a few of the subjects to be shared by a variety of different people.
Father richly bless each of you in your Walk with Him and on your journey to northern Louisiana in March. If you have any questions please contact us. Buzz Roberts
