Go Forward On Your Knees - Poem For Nov 15

The quotes are actual statements by missionaries or preachers of the past.

Go Forward On Your Knees
How brave and sure were those missionaries of old,
Those faithful prayer warriors - they were so bold;
Courageously saying, “Give me souls or I die!”
“Go forward on your knees” was their fervent battle cry.
“God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.”
Go forward boldly, following your Saviour from on high;
Though “You do not need a great faith, but faith in a great God” -
“Go forward on your knees” - follow the footsteps Jesus has trod.
By faith we know, “Prayer moves the arm that moves the world!”
Under the banner of the cross, let your flag be unfurled.
Victory is promised, but it will not be on beds of ease -
A life of dedicated service - “Go forward on your knees”!
Whether you serve your Father here, or serve the Lord abroad,
“Expect great things from” Him, and “Attempt great things for God.”
Wherever you may go, around the corner or across the seas -
Be faithful to the Lord in prayer - “Go forward on your knees!”

The Lord Sees Our Potential - Devotional For Nov 2

The Lord Sees Our Potential As a much younger believer I remember reading a book or commentary where the author points this passage out: Judges 6:12, 14   And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him,  The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour ... And the LORD looked upon him, and said,  Go in this thy might , and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? Then he mentioned that the Lord God saw Gideon's potential as a warrior BEFORE Gideon ever fought his first battle. The Lord opened the doors needed for Gideon to step into that role and equipped him fully for it - long before he ever fought that first battle. God already stated that Gideon had the might, the strength or power, that was needed to fight the upcoming battles God had planned for Gideon to set free the oppressed Israelites of his day. Our Heavenly Father is sovereign. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows everything about us, has a plan for us, and H

The Sons Of Korah - Devotional For Nov 24

The Sons Of Korah I love studying out Bible difficulties - not simply for the purpose of debate, but to reinforce God's Word in English - the King James Bible - and to show that there is always an answer if we take the Bible literally at face value, and prayerfully seek the Lord for wisdom, as James 1:5 teaches. Let's study the Bible with an attitude of faith, believing that God will help us to understand those portions we have difficulty with, and will help explain those passages that seem hard to reconcile in our limited understanding. I believe questions of this nature - with an attitude of faith - will strengthen us in our walks with the Lord. I am always amazed when attempting to resolve Bible difficulties how a simple careful studying of the wording in each passage will clear up any apparent discrepancies! Here I am referring specifically to the King James Bible! I have found difficulties and contradictions in modern versions that could not be reconciled because of the wa

For A Season - Poem and Devotional for Sept 24

  For A Season For a season, there will be troubles, For the needed time, then they will go. God has a purpose for every trial; They are only for a season, you know. Overwhelmed with sudden loss and anguish, With a heavy heart, broken in despair. Look up to Jesus for His comfort - Even for this season, He will be there. For a season, sufferings are our portion, But, then, in a moment, they will pass away. And after the season of our sorrows, Heaven's glory will shine bright as day. February 24th, 2002 Jerry Bouey (Dedicated to the Lockharts) Romans 8:18 and 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season , if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. 1 Peter 1:6 The Bible teaches that we will have manifold (many kinds of) trials. That we are to rejoice in them. That there is a need for us to go through them, that the Lord has a purpose for every trial He allows in our lives. There is also a bright ray of hope shining through that verse, wh
