Pastor Leroy’s Promise For The Week

“The Lord spoke to me with His strong hand upon me warning me not to follow the way of this people, He said: Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.” (emphasis added) Isaiah 8:11-12 NIV

I am amazed at how many people today love to become fearful. They watch movies which instill deep fears in their hearts and minds. During the month of October, the holiday of Halloween is celebrated to the highest degree possible.

Fearful movies today have come a long way from the movies of my time: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein – Attack of the killer ants or scorpions– just to name a few.

Don’t get me wrong, there were some scary movies back in the 60’s and I had plenty of nightmares after watching them. Today’s horror movies talk about demonic things which are real and nothing to be played with.

Despite all the scars and nightmares horror movies of today bring to people, which often last a long time, people still line up the see the next horror movie and pay good money to be frightened out of their minds, especially during Halloween

I’ve heard people say they love the rush they get from watching horror movies. Rush is the least thing I would say one gets after watching any type of horror movie. Today’s news is enough to frighten most people out of their minds because it speaks of real bad issues and possibilities in the world.

Our promise for this week, follows the prophecy of the coming destruction from the Assyrians. The Lord gives Isaiah a strong warning not to follow the sins of the rest of Judah. The Lord instructed Isaiah not to fear real or imagined threats. Isaiah must honor God and find safety in Him alone.

We read where Isaiah declares in Isaiah 8:17 “I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.” There is so much today that can cause great fear in the hearts of people, and we sadly fall into that trap.

What are you fearing currently? Fear is a real emotion which can be done for good in our lives. Fear that takes our eyes off the Lord is not the fear we as believers need to have at work in our lives.

I was once fascinated with things from outer space, UFO’s and aliens. So much that it gave me many nightmares, and it often ruled my life in a bad way.

I soon discovered if the Lord wanted us to worry about aliens and UFO’s He would have warned us about that in His Word. What the Lord has warned us about is there is an enemy, Satan, who looks to destroy our world, weaken our faith with his lies.

What remains true to us as believers; in what we find our hope in? Only you and I can answer that from our hearts and with our lives.

Pastor Leroy’s Promise For The Week

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (emphasis added) Hebrews 11:6 NIV

We’ve all had those in our life who were so blessed by the Lord when it came to their birthday, Christmas or any celebration of their life, we found it hard to buy them a gift that would show our love for them. Because they had everything they needed or could want, what could we get them that they couldn’t go out and buy for themselves.

I’ve had those kinds of people in my life, and I wanted so much to get them something that they would be pleased with. I searched my heart and mind trying to think of something I could get them but I couldn’t think of anything that would fill that void.

For the most part, we all want to be people who please others; especially those who meant so much to us. I tend to be a people pleaser for I want everyone to like me but I soon discovered that would never take place in my life.

Being a people pleaser is tough, especially if you are a Pastor. The more I try to please people, the more it seems I tend to upset people and that takes its toll on your life.

I was raised in a religious home where God was real and going to Mass every Sunday was what I was told would please Him. I did that as I grew up but always seemed to feel empty when we left church. At times I wondered if the Lord even knew who I was.

As much as I tried to live a good life that pleased the Lord, my flesh and its desire always won out so I thought why even try. Pleasing the flesh was so easy to do so that is what I did for many years and it eventually cost me more than the temporary pleasure of pleasing my flesh ever brought to my life.

When I came to my senses, I decided I needed to go back to the Lord but because of my Catholic background and teaching, I still struggled with trying to please the Lord. It wasn’t till my mentor explained to me there was nothing I could do that would please God. My mentor said what pleased God was having faith in Him. That faith needed to be real and ongoing in my Life. I needed to constantly seek after the Lord the rest of the days of my life.

Though there would be times in my walk with the Lord where I would fall short of pleasing Him, the Lord knew my heart. In those times of falling short, I needed to seek the Lord’s forgiveness and not give up. As the Apostle Paul says, I needed to be sure I finished my race and that I finished it well and strong by fighting the good fight and keeping my faith in the Lord.

The writer of Hebrews begins by saying in Hebrews 11:1 NKJV “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” (emphasis added)

Does your faith have substance, evidence my friend? Faith is demonstrated by everything you do as a believer; no matter what your flesh may think.

Pastor Leroy’s Promise For The Week

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (emphasis added) 2 Timothy 4:6-7 NKJV

In the last couple of years, I have lost my oldest sibling, my sister and my oldest brother. Our parents and many of our relatives have also passed away and it makes it clear my time will soon come.

None of us know when our time to depart this life will arrive. Unfortunately, many of us are often caught off guard by the death of a loved one. James writes our life is but a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. I am 78 years old and when I look back at my early years of life, turning 78 years old seemed a long way off, yet here I am.

Being a Pastor, I have sadly officiated at many funerals. Some who died were young and some were old, but they all died. Most of us don’t think about death or about the legacy of our life will leave but it would be good if we did.

In our promise for this week, Paul had to come to terms that his life was about to end. 2 Timothy is thought to be the last letter Paul is known to have written. In his letter to his dear friend Timothy Paul gives Timothy words of encouragement and instruction. In Acts 20 Paul writes he considered his life nothing, only that he would finish his race and complete the task the Lord had given him.

As Paul tells Timothy his time to leave this life had arrived, Paul gives Timothy and all who call themselves followers of Christ 3 very important words of instruction for our lives. Paul writes to Timothy that he had fought the good fight, he had finished his race, and he had kept the faith.

Having officiated at many funerals, I’ve heard many great testimonies and accolades shared by people about those who had died. Some of those testimonies are amazing to hear to the human ear.

All the accolades or tributes people may say at our funeral are wonderful and nice, but what really matters most is what people share about our time on earth as a believer has accomplished.

Paul said he fought the good fight. I’ve sadly been involved in a few fights and I don’t remember any of those fights being good, especially when I lost, which was too often. As believers our fight/battle is not against flesh and blood but against the wicked principalities, the rulers of darkness of this age.

Paul goes on to say he had finished the race the Lord placed before him. Too often believers become weary and sadly drop out of the race the Lord set before them before they cross the finish line.

Paul finishes by saying he kept the faith. The word faith is translated as to keep by guarding, to watch over. Keeping the faith as a believer is not easy but seen as a thing of beauty in the Lord’s eyes.

If we were to die tomorrow could those things be said by others of our life? Even while we live, when others speak of us as a believer would they say we have fought the good fight, we finished strong the race the Lord placed before us and our life was a great example of keeping the faith?

I must admit I have some more work to do in my life so those words could be said of me. Is that also true of you my friend?

Pastor Leroy’s Promise For The Week

He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid? Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the waves, and it was completely calm”. (emphasis added) Matthew 8:26 NIV

Not being a very good swimmer, I have always been a bit fearful of the water. I lost a very dear friend, who was a very accomplished swimmer, to drowning at Lake Mead.

I have been blessed by the Lord to have been able to go on a couple of cruises and the times when you are out at sea and as far as you can see, there is nothing but water, can be very disturbing. When the cruise ship is that far out at sea, even the most accomplished swimmer would surely drown if the ship went down.

In our promise for this week, after Jesus spent the day ministering to the people, when evening came and needing some serious rest, Jesus spoke very simple but very specific instructions to His disciples, “Let us go to the other side.” It wasn’t long before Jesus, being exhausted, fell asleep in the boat.

While Jesus was sleeping so comfortably in the boat, a storm came up which caused the boat to be nearly swamped with water. In the boat with Jesus were experienced fishermen who had surely weathered many storms before. In fear for their lives, the disciples woke Jesus out a wonderful sleep saying, “Teacher, don’t You care if we drown?”

The disciples had witnessed Jesus do some amazing miracles among the people. One would think since the disciples had the great Miracle working Lord in their boat, everything would be fine; not so. Before we look to talk bad about these disciples, we as believers have been guilty many times of doing the same thing with the Lord. “Lord, don’t You care that I am about to go down in life right now? Why are sleeping when I need You right now?”

Our very short spiritual memory seems to raise its ugly head when we are in times of trouble. We sadly forget what Jesus said that He would never leave us or forsake us. The Lord would hold us in the palm of His hand and so much more. The waves of fear and despair in life have overtaken us.

Jesus didn’t get mad because His disciples woke Him from a time of much needed rest. Before Jesus rebuked the wind and the waves, Jesus spoke words of instruction to His disciples that He could speak to us today, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”

I work out in the gym, and everyone wants to have big muscles. They want to get big and strong but so many of those people, me included, fail to work on their core strength, which is where our strength comes.

The reason that happens is because working on your core strength is not easy and it takes much time and exercise to get your core strength where it needs to be. Faith is a spiritual muscle that is often ignored or not worked on as much in many believers’ lives.

It’s crucial we hide God’s word in our heart and mind but the true test of how much of the God’s Word is alive and active in our lives is when the storms of life look to swamp our lives, causing us to fear.

How’s your faith muscle my friend? Have you been neglecting working on your faith because you think it’s fine? Would Jesus say your faith was little?

When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the days of summer.” (emphasis added)
Psalm 32:3-4 NIV

There is no greater pain one can have than the pain of unconfessed sin in one’s life. Unconfessed sin is a pain that can only be removed when we come before the Lord, confess our sins and seek His forgiveness.

Growing up in a religious home, before we could receive communion on Sunday, we had to go to confession and share our sins and how many times we had sinned to a priest. After we had done that the priest would give us a number of prayers we needed to pray for our sins to be washed away.

Growing up I remember repeating that spiritual exercise so many times, yet I never really felt clean in my soul. I did receive communion on Sunday but in my heart, I felt so unworthy of doing that.

I so wanted the Lord to forgive me but confessing my sins to a sinful man behind a curtain didn’t seem to feel right to me. I eventually quit attending church but in my heart, I still wanted the Lord’s forgiveness for all my failures in life.

After my life crashed because of a sinful lifestyle, I felt like the prodigal son, for I knew I needed to come back to the Lord. So under the conviction and leading of the Holy Spirit, I went back to the Lord but at a different church.

At the end of the service the Pastor gave what was called an altar call and I instantly found myself walking down the aisle to the altar, not even knowing I had done that. After I surrendered my life to the Lord I cried like I had never done before; so much I couldn’t stop crying.

The man who eventually became my mentor, told me because I had confessed Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, He washed away the guilt of all my sins by His shed blood on the cross. That truth was never told to me, and it was so very hard to accept for I had done so much wrong in my life, yet it was true.

All those times of confessing my sins (only the small ones) to a man behind a curtain, had never made me feel as clean as I did that Sunday night when I asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I realized my greatest sin was not knowing my need for a Savior.

It’s crazy how we think we can hide our sinful ways from the Lord who knows all things. The Lord knows every thought we have, yet we somehow think we can camouflage our heart so much by our good works, the Lord will not know.

The Word of God says His mercies are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. I love my children and grandchildren so very much and even though they will fail me at times, my great love for them will cover their failings.

On the night I surrendered my life to the Lord; I walked out of that church with a freedom I never experienced before. Though my life would have many challenges after that night, I knew the Lord was with me, and He would get me through anything I faced in life.

Have you been trying to cover your sins by keeping silent? Don’t stay silent, my friend. Confess your sins to the Lord and He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness through His forgiveness!!

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” (emphasis added) Proverbs 1:7 NIV

Growing up, I remember if anyone had called you a fool, those were fighting words. I remember a fool being as someone who was not all together; something to be laughed at.

Some of the definitions I found of fool were: “A silly or stupid person who lacked judgment or sense – One who behaves in a silly way without thinking” These are definitions no one would want to be said of them at any time.

We may say we have known a fool or two in our life. Let’s be honest, we have all acted like fools at one time or another, I know I have. With that being said, I would still not want anyone to call me a fool.

I have sadly known those who, despite being warned not to do or try something, went ahead and did what they were warned not to do and paid the ultimate price, loss of life, for their foolishness. As I look back on my own life, I did some pretty foolish things and it is only by the grace of the Lord that I am still alive today to talk about it.

Some of us never seem to learn from our mistakes, and we all make them. Then there are those who after being warned paid a price for their foolishness, yet still never learn.

I was raised to believe there is a God. My father made sure we all attended Mass every Sunday, with no exception. We were taught to pray and to follow the teachings of the Catholic church.

As a young boy I remember having a very tender spot in my heart for the Lord, but I never knew what that meant. I can even remember what I would now describe as a calling on my heart from the Lord but I never pursued or wanted to know that meant.

When I became an adult, able to make my own decisions in life, I decided to check out what the world had to offer and left the Lord and His ways in my rear-view mirror.

That lifestyle decision lasted for a while but eventually I finally crashed. Not knowing what to do, I felt in my heart I needed to get back with the Lord. I wasn’t sure what that meant but I pursued that decision anyway.

When I read this Scripture for the first time, I would say I definitely feared the Lord but obviously not enough to stop my evil ways. My Christian mentor explained to me the word fear in this Scripture meant having a reverence for the Lord. Though my lifestyle to that time didn’t display a reverence for the Lord and His ways, deep in my heart I had a tender spot for the Lord.

I surrendered my life to the Lord and began to seek Him and learn what I needed to do to please the Lord. My mentor said I now had wisdom, I wasn’t a fool anymore. When my mentor said I wasn’t a fool anymore, my old ways began to rise as to how to deal with being called a fool. I soon learned I had been a fool but now was gaining wisdom on how not to be a fool.

As a believer, wisdom comes in many ways and through many circumstances in life. Many times, wisdom comes when the Lord disciplines us and that isn’t always good but necessary for growth.

Do you have reverence for the Lord and is it something you seek for in life? Seek after that wisdom and know you will surely find it in your next trial or time of discipline.
