Who Authored The Song “Wayfaring Stranger”

by Mary Whittham on March 10, 2010

The song “Poor Wayfaring Stranger” holds a famous place in history, being so old that it’s uncertain exactly where the tune has come from. Many people focus on the Old Irish – individuals of the Appalachian or Catskills variety. An additional explanation that’s regarded as a strong probability is that the track originated from spirituals and that the source has been intentionally disguised. Nevertheless, that hypothesis is just one of several.

Another theory is that the song was written in 1816 and is actually the extension on the work of the 18th century printer and lay musician, John Wyeth. The song’s first identified official release is considered to have been in the tunebook called Kentucky Harmony, also referred to as a collection of Psalms.

Yet another well-liked method of playing the song is using the Native American flute, showing a powerful link with Native American tradition also.

The actual track itself certainly possesses Christian overtones, chronicling the present land the singer is traversing while revealing the place, where there’s no disease or danger and all his or her much loved family members who were missing are there waiting.

Lyrics note the multiple challenges the individual will face prior to reaching his or her destination, yet there is beauty and salvation waiting when the end is reached. The song ends with the singer noting he or she is just going “home.”

Dolly Parton, Trace Adkins, Tom Fox, Eva Cassidy, Natalie Merchant, Joan Baez, Jamie Woon, Burl Ives and Johnny Cash are among the many musicians who’ve chosen to perform the song.

For Burl Ives, the song was a signature piece and was used as the title of his autobiography. It was also the title of Ives’ personal radio show on CBS in the 1940’s.

Regardless of the veracity of the stories of its origins, the song continues to hold onto its popularity throughout countless decades. It appeals to a great number of singers and has drawn in many famous voices to communicate the song’s meaning to brand new audiences through the years.

Prophetic Anointing and the Vessel

March 8, 2010

If you have personal encounter with someone who operates just a little bit of Holy Spirit anointing, you will experience the impact and wonder why God would gives such level of power and authority to a weak and broken man. Some would be tempted to think of the minister higher than they ought to. This is wrong and may cause a lot of trouble especially when the minister fails to behavior like Jesus (which happens all the time).

Desiring the Prophetic Anointing Earnestly

March 3, 2010

The bible teaches us to contend to walk in the fullness of the prophetic anointing. We need the anointing of the Holy Spirit to walking in Holiness. We also need His anointing to walking prophetic ministries like healing the sick, casting out demons and prophesying in order to demonstrate the power of the gospel we preach. True apostolic faith is what we need and we need to have biblical ideas, biblical lifestyles and biblical experience. Like fire requiring oxygen, fuel and temperature to burn, we cannot afford to give up any one of the three elements! Let’s look at how we could contend for the fullness of the prophetic anointing in a biblical way.

The Prophetic Ministry of the Body of Christ

February 24, 2010

We see sometimes in charismatic Christian meetings, people acting vigorously yelling and rushing to the stage and trying to touch the preacher, hoping to get some prophetic anointing for themselves. It is true that the bible teaches every one of us to earnestly desire to prophesy. But being prophetic is much more than being charismatic. There is something more than dreams and visions and even the proclaiming of revelation. There are some meaning and functions for the Church of Christ to be prophetic which we should understand while earnestly desiring to participate in its prophetic ministry.
