Mark E. Herridge Sr.

This is the first message in a series of messages based on scriptural references to all things nautical.

In many ways the fight against repentance is a fight against obedience, which ultimately is a fight against the Lordship of Christ. People want to go to Heaven but they want to build their Tower of Babel (religion) to get there. They do not want to get to Heaven by pledging allegiance to Jesus as Lord. They do not want to love him enough to keep His commandments (John 14:15).

There is no reason to fail. With every temptation there is a way of escape and on top of that we have one another within the Body of Christ. We can overcome! We are Overcomers!

Are you asking: Where are the miracles of God? Or, Where is the God of miracles?

This message was preached at the Jonesboro Campmeeting. The theme of the Campmeeting was Exodus 33:18 and this message is based on that text.

Many times God has called men and women that did not fit in their generation. Men like John the Baptist, Ezekiel, Joseph, Abraham, and the Apostles. Women like Mary the mother of Jesus, Hannah, and even Deborah. These individuals made a difference because they did NOT fit in. Who says that we must fit in to make a difference? I say that most of those that make a difference in the world are those that march to the beat of a different drum. We need men and women of conviction. We need prophets and preachers that are willing to stand up and be counted. We need those, whose allegiance is not to Judah, or America, or Britain, or anywhere else in this world. We need those whose allegiance is to God and God alone. Yes, sometimes these individuals will be called by the title of “Traitor”.

The answer to the widow's dilemma was one full pot of oil that was poured out into all of the borrowed vessels. If you will get full you can fill someone else. God cannot use you until you are full.

Pressure is not a new thing but has been with mankind from the beginning. Sometimes we are molded by pressure but more often it is pressure that reveals what is on the inside. The only way to combat pressure without is by having an equal or greater pressure within.

Move not the Old Landmark! What gives any one the right to move the "Old Landmarks" that were set by God?
