The Accuser!




On a certain day, in assembly, Satan came before the Almighty Presence.

In abject fear, he says:

"Greetings, God!"

In unveiled contempt, he says:

"Jesus."

Satan does not even acknowledge the working of the Holy Spirit but, instead, screams:

"Accusation! Accusation!!

"STATE YOUR CASE!"

"Those humans you created believe in ME! 
They belong to ME. 
I AM their GOD! 
I give them toys and earthly joys 
And they love anything that cloys and annoys!
And they are MIIINNNNEEEEE!
They kill Your prophets!
They love lies, and deceits, and quarrels a fair treat, and any ways that cause decay!
And they love, Love, LOVE MEEEE!!
Give ME what is MINE!!"

"Father. I love them."

"They despise your book of rules.
They prefer my style and live by my favorite rule "What I want I chose!"

"Father. I love them."

"They love the idols You hate! 
They belong to ME!!"

"Father. I love them."

"I want themmmm! They are Miinnneeeee!"

"Jesus. They are Ours. Redeem them."

"But they are are greedy!?!"

"Jesus. Bring them back."

"But they are scornful and spiteful!?!"

"Jesus. Bring them back."

"But they are murders and thieves and liars, and whoremongers and, and ...!?!"

"Jesus. Bring them back."

"BUT, BUT, THEY HATE YOOOUUUU!!?!!"

"Father. I bought them back."

"NOOOOOoooOOOOOoooooOOOOO!!!"

"SATAN! 
IT IS FINISHED!
CASE CLOSED!"



 THIS STORY CONTINUES!

What About My Soul?




Everybody is telling me about the comfort of my body!
Won’t somebody tell me about the comfort of my soul?

Everybody tells me of the pleasures of my body!
Why won’t somebody tell me where I can find peace and rest for my soul?

Everybody wants me to join a group which knows what’s best for the common man!
Why won’t somebody tell me about God and the Salvation that comes from His Hand?

Everybody speaks of, and knows, some being who
Knows of a sop to fix my body but of no one who
Will walk a little mile in my pinching shoes!
Please, my heart is really hurting!
My spirit’s in misery!
My conscience is really pricking
And my soul ... Oh, boo, hoo!

Won’t somebody tell me where to find
The Shepherd to lead me
The Holy Spirit to guide me
The Savior willing to take my place
And The Redeemer to wing me away
From the hell and damnation facing me
From The Unseen God people don’t care to fear?

But, inside of me I somehow know
That it’s important that I get into His Care!
And I plead for somebody in the know
Won’t you come and teach me, and help me to grow?

I find no satisfaction for my soul
Despite all my bodily comforts
So, if my spiritual life can be like gold
Please point me - anybody -
To The Living God which is in control!

I’m tired of doing what seems right to me
And then finding out it’s been wrong
I am tired of singing this world’s tune
And finding out it is Satan’s inspired song!

I don’t like Satan - he’s not kind!
I don’t like his tune - it makes my teeth grind!
I don’t like his dance - my toes are all mush!
And his lyrical gymnastics make me feel like a lush!

People, please stop telling me
Of peace and security!
Won’t somebody please tell me about the King
And His Blessed Home called Glory?

Prized Memory Chest





I have an untidy table
That’s set up shop within my mind
It holds the trials and troubles of yesterday
And sins that I can’t seem to leave behind!

One day, I sat talking to Jesus
And wondered why this should be 
He looked at me so tenderly
And I just started to glow!

“Little One,” said Jesus, so kindly
“You say you trust Me, but no!”
“You give me all your troubles and trials,
But the sins, you just won’t let them all go!”

“I promised that I would cast all confessed sin
Into the Sea of My Forgetfulness!
I’ve forgotten, and forgiven you of them, but
You’ve locked them in your prized memory chest!”

“This is not what I want, Child, for you
For stored sin is like a diseased boil with a crust!
You pick it, and pick it, until you’ve torn the crust off
And it is soon running all over with pus!”

“No! Child of Mine! I offer you better!
I paid the price of your crimes!
I took to myself all your sins -
I love you enough to have died!
So, look to Me!
Give it up! 
Go all in!”

“I AM the Lord of All Creation!
I AM the Lamb of Calvary!
I AM the High Priest of the New Covenant!
I AM the Great King who set you free!”

“Look at my hands! Do you see these nail prints?
This is because I love you so much!
So if you say you love, and trust, Me
Wipe your table clean, and please fold it up!”

“With no space available for storage
No favorite spot for a safe hiding place
You will be free from Satan constantly accusing you
And calling you a Christian Disgrace!”

“My Child:
 I AM able to bear all!
I AM able to carry your load!
I AM the Lover of your Soul!
I AM Your Savior! Your Redeemer! 
I’ve got this!
I’ll see you at The Victor’s Abode!”

Name "IT" and Claim "IT!?"




My "friend" got angry with me
Because of the stance that I take
She thinks that for a Christian I am foolish
And she calls me a big fat fake!

My "friend" has been following the trend that
Is totally sweeping the church
Believing that if you can name it you can claim it
And you won’t be left behind, and in the lurch!

Well, I should tell you that we had
A great parting of the ways
Because I refuse to join in the movement
That purports to reach God in many ways!

I don’t care what my "friend" thinks of me
I don’t want my best life now
For anyone who wants their best life in the corporeal
Really doesn’t need Jesus anyhow!

So if you have a problem with my lack of possessions
If you have a problem with my empty purse
If you have a problem with my unfashionable clothing
Don’t feel sorry for me! I don’t view my lack as being a curse!

Jesus Christ has promised me a mansion
If I trust in, and believe Him, and walk
Straight along the narrow path way to Glory
And ignore the heathens, and their lotta long talk!

So I will make my own declaration
I will state here my own case
I will not follow the multitude to do evil
And I will not play at Satan’s Burning Place!

I am going to name King Jesus
And I am going to call Him my God
And I am readily going to claim Him
As my Savior, my Redeemer, and my Lord!

Mine, mine, mine!
King Jesus is mine!
He knows my name!
And He’s not leaving me behind!
To Him I give glory!
To Him I offer my praise!
Sorry, "friend!" I can’t join you at your party
'Cause I ain’t burning in that great blaze!

I Get The Impression




I get the impression
That some people think
That God is a fool
To trot out on occasion
And set down on the center stool
To be used to amuse
Like He's just some cheap tool!

I get the impression
That some people think
That God is a stool
To sit on upon occasion
While we play the fool
Acting all cool
Like we were back in school!

I get the impression
That some people think
That God is a tool
To dig out on the occasion
Of some emergency dire
To be sharpened and e’en inflated
When we face the mire and the fire!

I may be wrong
But impressions do count
For I, too, am guilty
Of neglecting and least counting
The role of the Master
As we tread life’s vale!
He’s here for all seasons
Not just for the soul’s travail!



So, please, join now with me
Let the Master take charge
Let Him be the leader and
In your life loom large!

The fool is what Satan thinks Him!
The tool - it was His cross!
The stool is where we sit by Him
As He tells of the great cost
That He paid to redeem us
To save us - His children - from eternal loss!

Please don’t minimize Him
You can’t Him maximize
He is God - the Creator
In Him our lives we realize!

So bless Him!
Exalt Him!
To His Great Name - give praise!
Sing glory, hallelujah
For soon He will us raise!

John 1:1-5, 10-14 (KJV)

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
