J. Douglas Barker Radio Interviews TSWW

It’s been a while and I thought some of you might enjoy a radio interview

regarding our book, This Side of the Whirlwind.

I’ve only done a couple and one television broadcast thus far. Hope you enjoy listening to our discussion on these End of Days and how God imparted our book.

Our Father: Prayer

Level 2 Memory Verse: should require 8 to 10 days to memorize and with ongoing, daily recitation fully memorized for life within 30 to 50 days.

I consider Matthew 6:9-13 a Level 2 Memory Verse because it is so often quoted and heard in society. The section of scripture also flows like a beautiful river.  Here we go:

• Our Father Who art in heaven, Hollowed be Thy name.
• Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.
• Give us this day our daily bread.
• And forgive us our debts, even as we forgive our debtors.
• And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
• For Thine is the kingdom  –  and the power  –  and the glory  –  for ever, and ever. Amen
• (Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)

Bee-U-Tee-Ful!

Matthew 6:9-13 is most often referred to as “The Lord’s Prayer”.

It is formulaic and designed to provide a structure from which to pray.

For example: the fourth line above “Give us this day our daily bread” is related to our provision, but not ours alone.  The fourth line and every line within this passage can be used to pray for your every prayer.  Yes, you can pray for your sustenance and resources by simply praying the Lord’s Prayer, but you can just as easily expand each line within the Lord’s Prayer to pray for you and your family’s and friend’s greater good.

If you have never used the Lord’s Prayer in such a manner – give it a shot.

• Our Father, our great and might Lord, Hollowed be they wonderful and glorious name.
• Thy kingdom come into my life. Thy will be done in my every act and deed, in every area of my life here on this earth even as all things are done according to Your will and purpose in heaven.
• Give us this day our daily bread, oh Lord.  Meet the needs of our family our friends our neighbors.
• And forgive us our debts, our sins against You and our loved ones, even as we forgive our debtors; our peers; our spouse, our parents (as applies to your life).
• And lead us not into temptation, You know the ones of which I speak.
• But deliver us, Lord Jesus from that evil one and from our own wicked ways.
• For Thine is the kingdom, our future is Yours.
• And Thine is the power, for there is no greater.
• And Thine is the glory and honor and praise.
• Both now and forever my glorious King. Amen!

Blessed be the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ!

Have a glorious day.

Whirlwind Fans: Update

Hey there Whirlwind Fans!

How’s it going?
If you’re wondering where we’ve gone… it has been over to https://www.patreon.com/user?u=15942617

For you and all Whirlwind Fans our Happy River site is free.

Granted, it is easier to navigate the Happy River to navigate its pages if you are contributing to the minimum $2.00 monthly membership, BUT it is not required. We offer all our postings for free. Our Happy River patrons get the benefit of our Steven R. Harrel music gallery as well as the poetry and the numerous articles you’ve become accustomed to here at WordPress. We also offer artwork from the Galleries of Natsumi Lam whose art varies as widely as a whirlwind’s throes.

I covet all of our followers here on WordPress and do not wish to lose a single patron. We do not care if you contribute financially to Happy River; however, our Happy River page offers more options and coverage with a simple ease in doing more. Additionally, I don’t have enough time to fully man both blogs. Sadly, choices had to be made.

I’ll still be posting on WordPress from time to time but the lion’s share of our work will be present on the Happy River page. At least take a quick look. Thank you.

Sincerely grateful for all your patronage. Steven R. Harrel

Funny Thing About Faith

Tags

Fatih

Not long ago, when a potential-tragedy came into my life, I heard several people comment about my response to said potential-tragedy, “He is so laid-back.” and “he’s not giving it much weight is he?” and my favorite, “he hasn’t taken it all in yet, has he?”.

Yes, I heard what the doctors had to say and quickly shucked any fear the scenario might generate and also decided to trust my God.  Why not?  Up until now I have YET to see any real reason not to trust the Creator.  We will look more carefully at this statement after a few commercial statements from our Sponsor.

(This is where a deep god-like base voice begins its ominous dialogue.)

As men and women of God our faith should be the cornerstone of our daily lives. 

Of course, Jesus is or should be THE Corner-Stone of all our daily walks in this world.

Faith, or our level of faith, that simple and yet complex – nearly tangible element to who Believers are – is essentially based on how big God is in our individual minds and lives as Christians.

Too Late 2 with Answers

Hey there Whirlwind Fans!

In our last Post we offered the question regarding when it’s too late for salvation. In our first position we stated,

It’s too late when:

When a person has rejected the salvation message of Jesus Christ and never asked Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of their life AND THEN dies. It’s too late.

However we submitted the second position for this question with this: (Answer to follow)

Can Covid-Vaccine represent the Bible’s infamous “Mark of the Beast”?

Do you know with absolute certainty?

The answer is “THUS FAR” -NO- we can’t know yet.

So who is up for a little Russian Roulette!

You, your spouse? Your Kids? Mom or Dad?

My Dad just went and received the vaccine =

?? Is it too late? I don’t know! Is it the Mark? I don’t know!
