Unlike Jeremiah, Job had no idea what was coming his way. One of the salient aspects of the Book of Job is that God never explains Himself, not to us or Job.

We are back to wading through 2025 and 2026.

We take a foray into the will of God.

"And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." John 17:3

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren;" Romans 8:28-29

"And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Our So What?

The revealed will of God is only done in joy, peace, and contentment when we listen carefully to Him and commune with Him in prayer.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 00

Episode 010

As we continue wading through the estuary of 2025/2026/October Surprise 2025, we continue, after our long delay, with our Signature Episode: this one assurance through prayer.

We hear Jesus say:

"For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. "But seek His kingdom, and these things shall be added to you. 32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom."

Luke 12:30-32

The essence of being a baby is crying. If you're a parent, sometimes you go in, and your baby is crying, but they're not wet, not hungry, not hurt, not afraid. So we pick them up, hold them close, talk to them a little bit, and hug them, and their crying stops. Why? Because they need us, they need our presence in that moment. I will say it, once more, "God is a much better parent than we are."

If your inner man is giving you some trouble, if your inner man is not experiencing the peace you desire, or maybe you've had at other times, my encouragement is to get into your closet and draw close to your Savior, and talk to him.

Our So What?

Do we not yet understand that access to the Father is the peace of our walk? Pray, Pray, Pray!

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 008

Episode 009

Trusting the Lord as we wrap up our October Surprise, season 7, finish up our Signature episode, and begin Season 8, we hear God, the Almighty, challenge Job’s assertion that he will walk into God's presence, “like a prince,” and demand an answer.

The Lord, the I AM, instead challenges Job’s arm, presence, eminence, dignity, honor, and majesty. If God says, Job has those attributes in His measure, He will “confess to you, That your own right hand can save you.”

Christ in His sacrifice shows us that the debt we owed was one we could not pay.

Our So What?

From a terrible storm, which is the presence of the Almighty. we learn

The humility that says “Not my will, but thine be done” is the most joyous place in all the universe.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen

1 Timothy 1:17

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 007

Episode 167

Welcome to the Free Range Preacher on Prayer podcast, episode 1 of season 8, or the official episode one of season 8.

As we welcome the nations of Eswatini, Bangladesh, and Israel to the podcast, we are in an estuary season.

God willing, we take the next few weeks to finish our October Surprise, Signature episode started in December, and begin Season Eight.

I recently read a letter by Samuel Rutherford and realized he summed up the podcast's purpose more effectively than I ever have.

Today’s episode is a prayer based on His eloquent exhortation.

“Strive to make prayer, and reading, and holy company, and holy conference your delight; and when delight cometh in, ye shall by little and little smell the sweetness of Christ, till at length your soul be over head and ears in Christ's sweetness.”

Take, Lord Jesus, these two pennies and help your people draw near to Thee.

Thy will be done, in Thy wise, just, merciful, and compassionate person. Father compels us into Thy presence for our good, and we will glorify Thy Holy name forever and ever. Amen.

“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”

1 Timothy 1:17

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 008

Episode 008

The outline of Job 39 shows that God has designed the animal kingdom and its environments perfectly.

God designed birth, mountain goats, oxen, horses, and birds, all perfectly suited for their flourishing.

And the Ostrich is neglectful with her nest and the callous care of the eggs of the troop, and yet they survive even in carelessness. But the ostrich and the emu are fearless. In 1932, a flock of Emus defeated the Austrian army!

Our So What

“For I proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe greatness to our God! 4 “The Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.” Deuteronomy 32:3-4

In light of God’s majesty, perfect yet mysterious design, we come into His presence, lowly with reverence and faith, knowing He cares for us in the same perfection and mysterious goodness.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen

1 Timothy 1:17

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 007

Episode 166

Science tells us exactly how the universe began…Cosmic lightening, Mysterious forces, and luck. -as of a documentary on the creation.

God, however, revealed to Job:

The water cycle, the earth spins on its axis, springs in the oceans, the limits on the shorelines, mountains and valleys under the seas, the mysteries of light, water freezing from the top down, along with His creative power, thousands of years before mankind discovered those truths.

He is the Creator

Our So What?

We are forced to echoJob and Solomon:

“Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to Thee? I lay my hand on my mouth. 5 “Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add no more.” Job 40:4-5

“Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.” Ecclesiastes 5:2

True lowly humility is our place before the majestic “I AM”, and it is a beautiful soul-satisfying place to be.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen

1 Timothy 1:17

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 007

Episode 165

The 17.03 mark transitions to closing information.

We continue looking at how Jeremiah's long life of consistent prayer leads him to be able to say in Lamentations:

"He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drunk with wormwood. 16 And He has broken my teeth with gravel; He has made me cower in the dust." Jeremiah 3:15-16

AND

"Surely my soul remembers And is bowed down within me. 21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. 22 The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness." Lamentations 4:21-23

Our So What?

The bitterness of this earthly pilgrimage is made sweet through our consistent, sincere conversation and community with our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.

"I called on Thy name, O LORD, Out of the lowest pit. 56 Thou hast heard my voice, "Do not hide Thine ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help." 57 Thou didst draw near when I called on Thee; Thou didst say, "Do not fear!" 58 O Lord, Thou didst plead my soul's cause; Thou hast redeemed my life. 59 O LORD, Thou hast seen my oppression; Judge my case." Jeremiah 3:55-59

Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Season 008

Episode 007

Today, we say hello to my friend Genci, pastor of Eagles Church in Tirana, Albania, along with all our brothers and sisters who live in Albania. Genci is a man of character who loves his flock and has a beautiful family.

The point of mentioning we are sinners, bigger on the inside and lonely, is to demonstrate our great need not only for salvation but to know and be known by others, most critically, God. In the lives of Jeremiah and Job, we see lives that are fully satisfied and trusting in the deepest of sorrows. But how did they get there?

By consistent communion, conversation (prayer) with our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.

In a challenging, nearly 50-year ministry with Almighty God, Jeremiah learned through every circumstance:

"There is none like Thee, O LORD; Thou art great, and great is Thy name in might.” Jeremiah 10:6

"I know, O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself; Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.” Jeremiah 10:23

"Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain? Or can the heavens grant showers? Is it not Thou, O LORD our God? Therefore we hope in Thee, For Thou art the one who hast done all these things.” Jeremiah 14:22

"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27

"Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Thine anger, lest Thou bring me to nothing.” Jeremiah 6:24

And above all,

"Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD.” Jeremiah 9:23-24

Brethren, let's pray for one another.
