The devil cannot rest. We should. Rest is holy. - Rest. Episode 37 show art The devil cannot rest. We should. Rest is holy. - Rest. Episode 37

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

• In scripture and tradition, the devil is often portrayed as wandering, roaming, seeking whom he may devour. He’s never at peace because he’s cut off from grace. • Restlessness is a symptom of exile. The devil cannot rest because he cannot dwell in love, cannot abide in truth, cannot be still in the presence of God. • His movement is frantic, not purposeful. It’s noise without rhythm. Motion without meaning. • Rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience. God rested on the seventh day not because He was tired, but to model rhythm, reflection, and reverence. • In Exodus and...

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Repent   Have you ever been caught in the act, rightfully accused of something and later forgiven for it but never healed from it internally?  That kind of thinking can influence EVERYTHING.   A righteous God. A holy God.  A God so pure that He will not allow sin in his presence. And the same time, a loving God. A sacrificial father. Who has called me to repentance. And before you say, what have you got to repent for, let me confess to you that I am no different than you in the eyes of God. No matter what you think of me, I got issues. I was unable to figure out what my...

Thanks to Mitch for the prayer last week.   This year I realized some important lessons that have always been present but I was unable to understand.  You may not hear what I am trying to say either but I know you will in time.  If you have an ear, please hear.   the stuff that happens to us from the cradle to the grave not only shows us the presence of God but that we are connected like a piece of fabric to each other.  Our lives are intertwined. Imagine a loom potholder you made in summer camp with those big loops. It was of many colors and the patterns change the...

What Does It Matter?  (Ep. 30) show art What Does It Matter? (Ep. 30)

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

That question echoes straight out of Philippians 1:18, where Paul writes, “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.” In context, Paul was imprisoned, and some people were preaching Christ with selfish motives—maybe even to stir up trouble for him. But Paul’s response is striking: what matters most is that the message of Christ is going out, regardless of the messenger’s intent. That’s a powerful lens for life—focusing not on ego, reputation, or control, but on purpose...

Acts 2:15 says And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:     The Truth About Dreams and Reality   We all dream of doing better, reaching higher, and following what ignites our souls. But what happens when a dream turns out to be more fantasy than foundation? What if, over time, it proves unprofitable, unsustainable, or even harmful to our well-being?    This question is especially relevant...

what is the purpose of your struggles?  why has God allowed it?

Ask and reflect on that.

Ephesians 4:12-32 spoke to me and I wanted to share that with you.

 

 

 

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
