PRAYER: Father, You Have Given Me Freedom!


Psalm 119:30 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Father, 
You Have Given Me The Freedom
To Choose To Follow You In Faithfulness 
Or To Allow My Sinful Self To Be My Leader
And The Free Will To Make My Own Decisions
For Or Against You! 

Despite My Straying And Often Disobedience
You Hear My Feeble Cries Of Distress 
And You Still Answer Me When I Call: 
Thank You For Your Loving Faithfulness! 

Father, I Once Walked The Broad Way To Destruction 
And Through Bitter Experience
I Now Safely And In Confidence Say:
"I Repent Of My Past!"
Because I Now Understand, Accept And Appreciate That 
Your Word And Your Ways Bless And Prosper Me! 

With All Humility, Father
I Truly Acknowledge And Finally Trust You Totally
At Your Holy Word: Whatever I Do That Pleases You 
Will Always Bless Me! 

I Have Made My Choice: 
By Your Sweet Spirit
With The Protection Of The Holy Angels
In The Name Of My Jesus, Christ The King
The Lord Of Glory
I Am Walking With You As Life Is Spared
Wherever, Whenever And However You Shall Lead Me! 

My Life Is Yours: Use It! 
My Will Is Yours: Make Your Will Mine! 
My Way Is Yours: Refashion My Feet To Walk In Your Holy Ways
And Comfort Me 
And Wipe My Tears Away As I Negotiate The Crucible That 
Recreates Me In Your Image Today! 
Have Mercy, Lord, On Me! 
AMEN!

Don't Blink ... THINK! - Church Service

Have You Ever Been In A "Church" Service
Or
Viewed One
That Made Your Skin Crawl
Or
Made You Feel
- For Lack Of More Fitting Descriptives -
Contaminated
Unclean
Dirty?!


In Said Service
Did You Think To Ask Yourself:


Soul, Who Are They Worshipping?!

Did You Hear Things Said
AND
Wondered:

Why Is No One Objecting?!

AND
Did You Hear
AND
Observe
The Monotonous
Frenzied Repetition
Of Words Phrases
That Sent People Into Raptures
Uncaring
Unknowing
Unmindful
Of What It Is That They Are Doing?!


What Reason
- If Any -
Are You Aware Of
That Requires A Christian Called
To Repeat The Name


"Emmanuel!"


Or Even


"Jesus!"


For Ten (10) Solid Minutes?!


Is Not This Vain Repetition?
Is There A Purpose That Is Being Served?
Is Someone Being Instructed?
Is The Name Being Uttered With Understanding
AND

With Ever New Emotion?
Or
- As Is The Norm With The Heathen -
Is The Utterance A Decided Means
To Achieve A Particular 

AND
Perhaps Even

A Malicious
Nigh Unto
A Malevolent End?

Please Ask Yourself ...

What Is That Unclean Spirit
That Is Being Openly Invited In
AND
Welcomed Into
The Church Of God
AND
Why Is No One Objecting?


God Himself
Calls Us To Reason With Him
Our Maker
Sustainer
Provider
Healer Helper
Our Salvation
Our King
AND
Where Necessary
Our Judge!


So ... 


Why Are We
Intelligent Creatures
Permitting
Unregenerate
Priests Pastors Teachers
To Give The Keys 

To The Hearts Of The People Of God
Into The Hands Of That Vile One

Satan?

Satan Is A Church Goer
Willing
Bona Fide!
He Has No Need To Go 

To Dancing Hells
When Who He Wants
Is Wearing Church Clothes

AND
Styling
Stepping High!


Lazy Thinking In A Christian
Is An Attribute To Be Despised
For It Permits
Unfettered Wickedness
To Bloom
Grow
AND
God Forbid
Thrive!


Know What It Is You Are Doing
AND

Why
- In God's Name -
It Is Being Done
AND
If The Answer
Contains Not A 


"Thus Saith The Lord!"

People!
Be Smart!
Cut And Run!

Don't - To Your Self - Lie!

No Idiot Children Will Be In Heaven!
All There Will Have Said:


Satan, Nay!

Jesus, Yeah!



Having Made The Bold Decision Freely
AND
Not By Coerced Descent
Into A Hypnotized Frenzy!


Watch Where You Pray!
Watch With Whom You Play?!

AND
Be Mindful Of What You Say
When You Go
To God In Prayer!


You Cannot Come To God
AND
Tell Him That
You Want
Desire
To Bear His Blessed Name

AND
Stress To Him That
You Will Provide
Your Own Food
(Your Own "Holy" Word)

AND
Your Own Clothing
(Your Own Character)

AND
Think
That You Shall Escape
The Lake Of Fire!


The Way Is Clear
Either - Or
Broad Way
Or
Straight Way Narrow Path!
There Is No Good Way Marked:


"Way Of Man!"


Aka Way Of Perishable Cloth
For That Way Is Always
Always
The Broad Way Of The Lost!


Get A Grip On The Holy God
Through Jesus The Christ
On
The Way Of The Cross
AND
Give Man's Traditional Emotionalism
The "Not-For-Me" Toss!



Worship The Almighty God
In Spirit
And
In Truth!
