Praise Almighty God Anyhow, Anywhere ... Just Because!






Are You Willing, By The Living God's Great Grace
To Tell John Q. Public And Ms. Anony Mous 
Of All That The Lord Has Done
Is Doing And Will Do For You 

Or

Are You Sooo Caught Up In 
"Woe Is Me!" 
And 
"Why Me, Lord!" 
That You Fail To Recognize That Almighty God Is Good
That He Loves You Personally
And 
Has Repeatedly Saved You From Yourself 
And
From Besetting Sin
And 
Has Made Your Heart Radiantly Glad 
When You, With Limited Vision
Had No Idea What You Would Or Could Do 
If
Tomorrow Brought Another Misery
Trial Of Faith
Health Scare
Financial Setback
Emotional Distress
Or Unexpected Grief Or Sorrow!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Guilty Of Begging Almighty God For Good Gifts 
And
Having Received Them ... And More Besides
Forgetting Or Even Unwisely Neglecting 
To Give Our God Thanks And Bold Praise! 

We Are Guilty Of Making Agreements With The Lord 
And
Brazenly Breaking Them 
After The Lord Has Amazingly Delivered 
The Delights Of Life To Us! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

Let Us From This Moment On 
Daringly Decide To Praise The Lord Anyhow
Anywhere 
And
Just Because!

Let Us Decide To Thank God 
For Helping Us To Admit, Again, That 
Having Another Reason
Another Day To Need Him
And 
To Be Glad To Praise Him For Life
Is 
Our Blessing ... Our Blessed Gift ... Today! 

The "Price" For Living 
Is 
Prayer And Praise: 
Just Do It! 
The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God
Does Not Lie!

Peace!

WALK IN WISE WAYS: Don't Be A Tormented Loser!






A True Christian Cannot Be A Christian In Name 
And
A Liar 
And 
A Thief By Nature: 
Our Walk Must Match Our Talk! 

The World Should Be Able To Set Its Clocks By Our Word 
And 
Know That It Is True 
Because 
They Know That We Are With Jesus Christ The Righteous
And 
Are Therefore Known Not To Be Dirty In The Dark 
And
Are Clocked As Uncompromising As Regards The Truth! 

Simply Put, Brethren Beloved
Our Morning Aka Daylight Words 
And 
Our Night-Time Aka Dark-Night Works 
Are Measurable On The Same Scale Of 
Honesty And Integrity! 

Beloved, 

No Matter What The World Is Offering To You 
Or 
Threatening Against You
Never Take The Low Road
The Path Of Least Resistance
Or 
The Way Of Comfort And Convenience! 

The Facts Stand ... 

Telling Lies For Pleasure And Profit 
And
Being A Thief Of Things, Property Or Reputation
Marks One As Being Unfaithful To Our Dear Savior
Unworthy To Bear The Family Name 
And
Unfit For Promotion To The Eternal Kingdom! 

Choice And Chance ... 

Let Us Choose To Be Contented In Christ Always! 
Let Us Choose To Use Our Opportunities Now
- While There Is Still Time -
To Get Rid Of All Cultivated And Known Bad Habits 
And 
Tendencies To Sin That Easily Beset Us
Which Will Cost Us Our Name 
And
Our Gifted Claim To The Living Kingdom! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Liars Lose 
And 
Thieves Are Tormented: 
Don't Be A Tormented Loser! 

Live For Jesus Christ The King
And 
Walk In Wise Ways!

USE YOUR PERMANENT ERASER: Be A Humble, Praying, Saint!







There Was A Time When Correction Tape
Liquid Paper 
And 
Typewriter Erasers Were A "Thing!" 

We Were Mightily Glad For The Blessing Of 
Removing Errors 
Without Having To Start Over Again! 

Beloved, 

There Is A Time ... Now
When We Have The Marvellous Benefit Of Faith
Grace
Prayer
And
Confession And Repentance 
To Rid Ourselves Of Natural
Cultivated Sin
Pet Sin
And 
Besetting Aka Persistent, Attacking, Sin
While The Door Of Mercy 
Is 
Open To Whosoever Will Aka You! 

We Say That We Love Others 
And 
We Love God! 
We BoldlyLie To Others
But 
We Cannot ... Ever ... Lie To Almighty God! 

If We Truly Love Jesus Christ
We Will Not Lie To Ourselves About 
Our Burden Of Sin! 

We Will To Make Good 
And 
Productive Use Of That Incredible Eraser 
From The House Of Grace Called Prayer Of Faith 
Which Activates Genuine Confession And Repentance 
By The Ministration Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth-Eternal 
Which Deftly Unlocks The Master-Controlled 
Permanent-Eraser Called Mercy-Free 
Which Leaves No Trace Or Residue Of
Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Don't Lie To Your Self!
Stop Lying To Yourself!

Look To Jesus Christ The Righteous
And 
Boldly Speak Truth In Righteousness! 

Use Your Eraser Allowance 
And
Set Yourself Free 
To Truly Love The Lord Who Cannot Lie 
And
To Also Love Others Who Do Lie! 

Love ... And Share ... Truth

And 

Erase Sinful Self And Seducing Sin: 
Be A Humble Praying Saint!
 

The Peace Of Almighty God
Ain't Piece-Meal!

HAPPY SABBATH + Seek To Build! + PRAYER: Grant Me The Gift, Dear Father!









Blessed Assurance
Constant, Able, Help
Eternal Security
And
Perfect Peace
Are Gifts 
- Through The Grace Of Almighty God -
From Jesus Christ The Lord
The Hands Of Love
The Redeemer
And
The Restorer Of Each And Every Believing Human!

Satan 
Is 
The Liar
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Enemy Of Souls
The Cause Of Every Human's Sin
And
He, It Is
Who Insinuates
Interposes Himself
Between Our Self And Our Savior, Jesus Christ
The Sun Of Righteousness
Our Soon Returning Greatly Desired King!
This Purveyor Of Sin
You Must Aggressively Resist!

We Must Not Turn Aside To Fables
And
Be As Those Who Sought To Build
That Sinful Tower Called Babel!

We Are To Seek To Build
The Character Of Christ In Our Own Lives
And
Step Away From The Broken Cisterns
That Cannot Satisfy A Need
No Matter How Much Of Our Heart's Desire
It Is Purported That They Shall Hold!
Do Not By Willful Sinning Be Sold!

Salt Of The Earth!
Light Among Men!
Let Not Satan Cause You To Doubt
To Tremble In Ungodly Fear
So That From Performing Your Holy Mission
He Will Secure A Rout!
Don't Buy That Which He Touts!

Walk In Love!
Live In Hope!
Help Is At Thy Right Hand:
Reach Out For The Son Of Man!

You Confessed Your Sin!
You Repented Sincerely!
Do Not Look Back At What Was!
Walk Ahead With Christ's Hand Of Help
And
You, Brethren Beloved
Shall Assuredly See Clearly!
The Lord Of Life Loves Personally Loves You Dearly!

Jesus Saves!
Jesus Redeems!
Jesus Restores!
Trust Jesus
And
Abide In Christ's Love
Enveloped In Peace
And
No Created Being
Fallen Angel ... Demon
Satan, Himself
Nor Demon-Inspired
Nor Demon-Possessed Man
Can Ever Stop You
From Enjoying The Welcome Home Banquet
For The Eternally Blessed!
The Lord Is Preparing A Wondrous Feast!

Stop Trading In Pharasaic Yeast!
It Is Manufactured By The Eternally Damned Beast!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves From Sin!
Trust Him
And
From Besetting, Pet, And Cultivated Sins
You Shall Surely Be Released!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Come Because I Trust You!
I Bless Your Holy Name
And
I Bow Before You
With A Grateful, Thankful, Heart!

I Love You, Lord
And
Into Your Holy Hands
I Commend My Spirit
For It Is By Your Love That
I Live And Breathe
And
Have Any Being!

Please Grant Unto Me
The Gift That Will Help Me
To Remain Faithful
Obedient
And Which
By Enduring Faith
Will See Me Standing On My Lot
In The Day Appointed!

Please Continue To Bless Me
To Do Your Will
To Do All Things According To Your Desire
To Bless The Brethren By My Living
And
To Praise My God
In All Ways For The Rest Of My Days
Or Until Jesus Christ Comes
To Take Me Home
To Be With Him Forevermore!

I Ask These Petitions In Working Faith
Nothing Wavering
And
In The Blessed Name Of The Holy Jesus
Our Soon Returning King, Lord, And God!
Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer!
AMEN!

TRAVEL BAGS: Heading For Heaven!






It Is Almost Time 
To Leave For The One Journey
To The Eternal Home! 
We Pack For Every Other Journey
But
For This Journey
We Must Strenuously Unpack
Or We Will Never Get Home!

**--**--**--**--**

What's In Your Travel Bag!?!

What Travel Bag!?!
I'm Not Going Anywhere!

Suit Yourself!

What Do You Mean By That Remark!?!

Nothing! Nothing At All!

Oh, No, You Don't!
Your Nothing At All Is Always Something!
I Know You, So Out With It!

Since You Asked So Nicely, I'll Tell You!

When "You" Are Going Away
You Pack Pants, Shirts, Dresses
Underwear, Toothbrush, Toothpaste
Shoes, Socks, Stockings
Coat, Jackets 
All According To Gender
All According To Season 
And
Fancy Attire As Befits The Reason
And
If You Are So Inclined
You Even Pack Craft Supplies
Reading Material
Cross-Word Puzzles And The Like
And
For All Your Trouble Making Sure
Not To Forget Anything "Important"
You End  Up With Too Many Items
Engendering Outsize Baggage
And 
Overweight Charges
Or
You End Up With Too Few Items
And 
Find You Have Forgotten A Necessary Item
And
Then Have To Make An Unexpected Purchase
Which You Did Not Factor Into Your Trip Expense
And
Thereby Causing A Debit Or Credit Card Charge
And
Then You're Angry, Upset 
Unsettled, Unfocused, Anxious 
Off Your Game, Unhappy, Unproductive
No Fun To Be Around! 

Okaaay! I Feel You!

Now ... When Going To Heaven
We Must Unpack Our Brand-Name
Mortal-Man Exclusive-To-The-Race
Stained-By-Sin
Compliments Of Satan, Bags! 

If We Are To Meet 
The Restricted Character Requirement
We Must Cast Away Pride, Lust, Envy, Greed
Self, Sin, Pet Sin, Besetting Sin
Vainglory, Gainsaying, Doubt, Disbelief
Selfish Desire, Self-Satisfaction
Murder, Hate, Hopelessness
Covetousness, Idol Worship
Swearing Falsely, Cursing Your Brethren
And The Like! 

Good Gracious! 
I've Never Considered That Side Of Life! 

Maybe You Should! 

I Most Certainly Will! 
Let Me Ask You A Question Though, Fergus!?!

Go Ahead, Bram!

You've Got Me Seriously Thinking
And Now I Want To Know
What Are You, Personally
Are Putting Into You Heaven-Bound Baggage! 

I'm Putting All Things That Will Withstand Fire
All Things That Are Intangible!
Mind You, It's A Work In Progress
But 
I'm Puting My Name ... My Character 
- My Life In Christ -
Self-Denial
Faith, Hope, Obedience 
Confessed And Repented-Of Sin
My Willing Work To Help Further The Gospel
My Acceptance Of The Truth As Found It In Jesus
My Enduring All Things For Jesus
My Trust In The Promises Of God
Love For And Service To My Fellow Man
My Longing To Be With Jesus 
My Footprint On The Rock Of Ages
Upon Which, Upon Whom I, On Faith 
Believing 
Willingly, Eagerly, Stand! 

Let's Just Understand One Thing:

Nothing That Reeks Of Sin
Shall Enter The Heavenly Realm! 

So, I Guess ... I Shall Say
- In Shorthand Version -
Clean I Came ... And Clean I Shall Go! 

I Couldn't Have Said It Better!

Enough Sufficient And Then Some ... With Prayer

The Conversation ...
That Conversation
Was Causing Serious Problems
For All Its Participants
Because
Every Time A Person
Waxed Emphatic
A Voice Was Heard
Denying The Truth Of The Person's Word!

Things Were In Turmoil!

I'll Give You An Example ...

Horace Said:
I Trust God!Voice Said:
Not Enough!
When It Is Convenient!

Heather Said:
I Walk With The Lord!Voice Said:
Not Always!
When It Is Comfortable!

Stephanie Said:
I Believe God's Word!Voice Said:
Not Enough!
When It Is Convenient!
When It Is In Compatible Company!

Nola Said:
I Thank God For His Grace!
Voice Asked:
Not Always!
Why Aren't You Walking In It?

Sanjeev Said:
I Live For The Lord!Voice Asked:
Not Always!
Who Knows It?
Where Is Your Light?

Phenola Said:
I Witness For The Lord!Voice Asked:
Not Always!
With Whose Words?
With What Spirit?

You Will Be Surprised
To Know
That In The Conversation ...
That Conversation
The Participants Were
Only One
Plus
A Conscience
- Compliments Of The Holy Spirit -
Which Was
Which Is
Often Denied!

The Bible AsksAND
Speaks:





AND
I Ask:

Who Better
To Call Us Plain Liars
Than The Conscience
Attached To Us
By God's Cord?!

For Truth's Sake
I Will Accuse My Self
In The Conversation ... 
My Conversation
AND SAY:

I Don't Love God ... Enough!
AND
I Don't Trust God ... Enough!
OR
Walk With Him Close ... Enough!
AND
I Don't Believe In God ...Enough!
AND
Let Him Lead Me ... Enough!AND
Then I Will Exclaim 
With Much Sorrow
That
I Am Crying Out To God In ...

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord
Grant Me
Of
Love Hope
Faith Truth 
Trust
And
Belief
Enough
Sufficient And Then Some
So That I Do Not End Up With
None
For
I Desire To Walk
And Live For
And With You
And Without These
I Know That I Cannot
A Victorious Race Run!


Grant Me, Lord
The Redeemed Soul's Sense
To Get Out Of Sin's Torrential Rain
Using The Umbrella Of Jesus Christ's Faith
And
Grant Me The Contrite Heart's Willingness
To Let You Break
- With Finality -
Old Besetting Sin's Chain!


Father,
Grant The Courage
To Speak Your Truth
Without Being Vain
And
Please, Lord
Help Me
Neither In Thought
Word Or Deed
Your Holy Name
To Profane!


Lord, 
Let Me Not Shine The Black Light
Of That Other Jesus!
Let Me Not Spread
The Delusional Gospel
Of That Other Word
That Is Widely Being Heard
But
Let Me Be A Faithful Witness
To The Living Gospel
Of Christ The King's Truth
And
Let Me Do It Lovingly
By Holy Faith
And In

And With 
The Same Incorruptible Truth!

Let My Light So Shine
That Men May See
Christ Jesus
Living In Me!
Help Me To Live Such A Life
As Is Called Godly!
Let Me Plant Seeds
That Will Become A Harvestable Crop
To Provide Wheat
For The Holy God's Garner
And
Lord, Please
Let It Be A Lot!

Forgive, Lord
And
Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!
I Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus' Name I Plead!
AMEN.

Why Pay For Death By Doing Sin!? + PRAYER: Lord, You Know Our Hearts!






Why Pay For Death By Doing Sin
When We Can Get Salvation
Through Practicing Obedience For Free?!

Why Follow Satan
That Dead "Man" Walking
When We Can Follow Jesus Christ
The King
AND
Go Through Eternity Fair 
Walking Talking
AND
Rejoicing?!

Oh, Man, Why?
Why Wander The Vain Way
When
By Following Jesus
You May Benefit On The Glorious Way?

Why Be Presumptuous
When
By Walking Before God Humbly
You May Spend With God
Eternity
Bereft Of Ever Knowing
Another Man-Made Calamity?!

Why Listen To The Man-god
When The God-Man
- Faithful -
- Holy -
- Kind -
- True -
Is Ever By Your Side
Willing 
- In You - 
To Forevermore Abide?!

Why Listen To Bold Lies
When Simple Truths
Are So Easily Verified?

Do You Not Realize
That You Have An Open Invitation
- Cast In Blood -
- Written In Blood -
- Preserved In Living Blood -
To Reason With Almighty God
Which Accepted Invitation 
Leads To The Everlasting Home
In The Glorious Land?!

So ...

STOP!
         PRAY!
                  THINK!
                             PRAY!
                                      TEST THAT SPIRIT!
                                                                   AND
                                                                          PRAY!
Before You Lean In
To Imbibe That "Free" Drink
For This Is The Only Way
By Which Faithful Believers Can
Beelzebub Circumvent!

Stop!
And
Think!
And
Pray, I Say!
For
Prayer Changes Things!
All Things!
Every Single Day!

So ... 

Don't Be A Casualty
AND
Have To Pay!
Be An Overcomer
Because You
PRAY!

There Is Victory Over Sin
In Jesus Christ
The Conquering King!
Satan Does Not Want You
To Overcome
And
Prosper
And
Eternally Live
And
Reign
With The Conquering King
So That Is Why
He Is Speaking
Alternative Truths
And 
Thereby 
You Waylaying!

UcUcUcUcUcUcUcU

PRAYER:

Lord,
I Honestly Acknowledge 
That
Satan Is The Liar
And
The Father Of Lies
And
I Beseech You, Please
To Protect Your People
- Even Me -
From That Cruel Lord Of The Dung Flies!

Please Rid Us Of Dark Thoughts!
Please Shield Us
From Participating
In Dark, Vile And Pestilential Deeds
And
Keep Us, Lord
In Your Holy Care
Even When We Are Unable
To So Much As Bend Our Knees
As We
In Jesus Christ's Name
Say Our Pitiful Prayers!
Oh, Lord, In Faith
We In You, Do Believe!

You Who Know Our Hearts
You Who Remembers That
We Are But Dust
Have Mercy Upon Us
For
In The Name Of The Righteous One, We Plead!
Bless Us
For We Truly Love You, Lord
Come Soon! We Are Begging, Please!
AMEN.
