It Is Better Not To Know The Truth!?!



What Has And Is-Been The Curse Upon Your Family That
By Your Acknowledgement As A Committed Christian
Will At One And The Same Time 
Mark You As One Of "Them" By Outsiders 
And 
As An Outsider By The Them With Whom You Are Known Family!?! 

Is It Envy, Greed, The Unforgiving Spirit
Being A Know-Nothing Know-It-All
Hatred Of Authority
Practiced Wickedness
Head's-Down Bum's-Up Aka Ostrich-Itis
Carnality
Five-Finger Discounting Aka Thievery
Bring-A-Bone Carry-A-Bone Specializing Aka Gossiping
Or Gluttony
Which All Will Keep You Out Of The Glorious Kingdom!?! 

Beloved Believer, 

For Us To Leave Here 
To Go Over There To Be With Our Dear Savior 
"Forever And Ever, Amen!" 
We Must Do Some Serious Internal Housekeeping 
By The Grace Of The The Eternal God 

And

We Will Not Be Permitted To Glom On To That 
Carry-All Bag Of Self-Deception 
"It Is Better Not To Know The Truth!" 
Which Is Mainly Used As The Excuse To "Done" All Excuses: 

If I Know I Will Have To Change My Ways 
Or Do Something That I Don't Want To Do 
Or See Something That I Don't Want To Face 
Or Apologize For Something That I Prefer To Ignore 
Or Care About Something That I Rabidly Choose To Despise! 

Dear Ones, 

Just As Babies Have Tummy-Time To Strengthen Their Core
We Christians Need To Use Mirror-Time 
For More Than Self-Adoration! 

Dare To Make Wrong Things Right!  

Peace!

THE LORD CHRIST CANNOT LIE + PRAYER: Please Help Us, Father, To Make The Binding-To-Christ Decision!

Image result for psalm 27:1 kjv"





The Man, Woman, Or Child 
Who Chooses Jesus Christ The Lord 
For His Portion In This Life 
Stands As The Majority In Any Battle
In Any War Against Known Sin! 

We Are Never Alone Who Believe, Love
Trust, Obey, Worship 
And 
Diligently Follow The Lord In Faithfulness 
And 
By Humble, Earnest, Prayer! 

The Lord Cannot Lie
And 
He Will Not Fail Us Who Stand Firmly 
In His Personal, Daily, Gift To Us Of Daily Faith
So Let's Faithfully Choose 
To Believe Him At His Holy Word! 
For Our Steadfast And Faithful Endurance 
We Will Be Eternally Blessed! 



PRAYER:

I Trust You, Lord!
I Must Trust You, Lord!
I Am Trusting You, Lord!
I Will Continue To Trust You!
Please Help Me To Trust You
All Day And In All Ways
Because
I Cannot Help Myself!

I Cannot Make Myself Taller!
My Hair Is What You Ordained!
I Cannot Add To The Length Of My Days
So, Please Help Me, Dear Father
From Your Side Not To Stray!

Father, 
I Fully Accept And Truly Believe That
Walking With The Lord Jesus
Is
A Lifelong Journey
And
Not An Escape
Or An Escapade For Thrill-Seekers
But
Is A Lifestyle Change
A Mind Reset
A Paradigm Shift
To Living Simply, Carefully, Caringly
In The Upside-Down Kingdom
Where True Power Is Shown
By Willing Service
And
Love For Others!
In Working Faith
I Willingly Sign Up For Service!

The Longer I Live
The Better I Realize And Know That
Being Rich And Connected
In This Carnal Realm
Is Most Often Not A Blessing
And I Plead, Dear Father
For Love Of The Lord Christ
That You Help Me
To Maintain A Thankful Heart
Not Jealous
Not Covetous
Not Envious Of Any Person's Raiment
Or Any Person's Silver Or Gold:
I Do Not Know With Whose Wings They Fly
Nor Am I Desirous
Their Carnal Urges And Experiences To Try!

Father, 
Little With A Contented Spirit
And
With Your Blessing Because I Please You
Is Supremely Of Great Gain
And
I Am Grateful
For The Privilege Of Knowing You
And
Having You Know My Name:
Please Help Me So That I Do Not
Your Blessed Holy Name Profane!

Father,
In The Living Word You Say That
It Is Not Your Desire That Any Should Perish
But
That All Should Come To Repentance
So Please Help Us, Me And My Brethren
To Number Our Days
To See Our Need Of Salvation
To Recognize Our Own Dear Savior
And
To Make The Binding-To-Christ Decision
That Will See Us At The Last Trumpet Blast
Being Raised Up
And
Going Up Glorified
Immortalized, Incorruptible
Inheritors Of Everlasting Life!

I Need My Jesus!
Help Me To Need Him More Each Day!
Help Me To Reliably In His Holy Name To Pray
For Health, For Strength
For Friends And Family
For Well-Wishers
For Naysayers
And
The Holy People
Of
The Great And Glorious God!
Help Us Not To Perish From Folly!
Help Us To Choose Life!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Humbly Pray And Plead!
I Love You, Lord!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

NEVER POPULAR: Truth!

Truth ... And Popularity
Were Standing Before The Church!
Truth Was Standing By Himself
Off To The Right!
Popularity Looked At Him Like He Was Lurch!

There's A Story To Tell ...

Back In The Beginning
Truth Was King
Master Of Everything
Beloved Of The Brethren
Known Always For Saying 
Doing
Being
The Right Thing!

Truth Wasn't Always Convenient
But
Truth Always Was ... Truthful
Pointed
Direct
Faithful
Blessed
A Spiritual Success
At Least That Was Until
Good Old Popularity Always New
Always Current
Always Suave
Always Convenient
Blase
Totally Incapable Of
Holding The Fine Line
Willing Always To Treat With Those Brethren
Who Loved Broad Fuzzy Movable
Transient Transferable Technicolor
Inebriated Easily Repurposed ... Things!

Popularity Was A Pissant
And
Present 
Public
Pervasive
Persuasive 
Precious Truth Always Made Him Squirm!

Truth Is The Solid Rock:
Not Rock-Hard Cement!
Truth Is The Rock Of Ages 
By The Lord God Almighty Sown!

Ah, Well ...

The Great Day Of Decision
Had Arrived Without Fanfare
And
This Is The Day Heretofore Spoken Of
When Truth Stood Alone
His Continuing Presence In The Church
A Thing Up In The Air!

Popularity Was In His Glee!
He Had Also Been In His Cups
Aka He Was Drunk As A Skunk
And
He Thought Nothing Of It
Cared Not For Those Insular Few
Who Thought Him De Trop
Even Dissolute
And
He Was Pumping His Fists
Occasionally Thumping His Pigeon Chest
Ever Exposing His Bonafides
Aka His Jewels Gained By Bribes
And Tortured Beliefs
And
He Knew By The Twinging Of
His Left Big Toe In His Gucci Loafer
That He Was The Man Of The Hour!
With Truth
He Was Finally Settling The Score!
At His Word
Truth Will Be Put Out The Door!

He Had Repeatedly Asked Truth
To Fornicate With Him
But, Truth 
Being Always Truthful
Had Spurned His Advances
Rejected His Entreaties
Returned His Gifts
Blocked His Phone Number
Would Not Entertain His Worldly "Friend" Requests
And
Chose, Instead
To Stick Close To The Forever Friend!

Popularity Did Not Know 
How To Take "No!" For An Answer
So He Had Set Up Things In The Assembly
To Bring Cutting Present Truth To A Sticky End:
Doubt And Disbelief
Gainsaying And Carnality
Were His Choicest Henchmen!


Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave

When We Practice To Deceive!

Facts Are Firm ...

Popularity Does Not Make One Good Or Right
And
Truth Does Not Make One Bad Or Wrong
But
Popularity 
Built On "Convenient" Truth
Is
Sure To Make One's Life A Blight!

The Blaze Of Glory ...

Present Truth ... Plain Truth
Stood Still In The Light Of Life
And
Watched As Popularity
- Present Popularity -
The Chosen Flavor Of The Month
Was Raised Up 
And
Then Ignominiously Cast Down
As The Thing Not Current
Not Viable
Not Passable
For That Time Of Life!
Present Popularity Had Been Built On Lies!
Known Lies!

The End Result Of It All ...

Unchained
Unfettered
Unchanging
Unaffected
Unfailing
Unpolished
Unspun
Uncolored
And
Unflinching
Truth Remained ... Resolute
Tall And Strong
On Solid Ground!

As For That One Called Popularity
He Was Put Outside
- No Friends -
On The Rubbish Heap Of Convenience
To Die!
Oh, How He Burned!



There Is No Eternal Profit In Popularity!
Truth Always Saves!

Why Should I ... When God Is ... ?! + PRAYER: Lord, Let My Faith Shine!




Why
Should I Walk In The Sight
Of These
My Blind 
AND
Dying Eyes
When
I Can Walk In  The Faith Of Him
Who Is My Soul's Delight?

Why
Should I Trust To Luck
Of Spurious Pedigree
When
I May Walk In The Blessing Of Him
Who
On Calvary
Cruelly Died To Save Me?

Why
Should I Cast Away My Confidence
When
Great Recompense
Is Nigh At The Door
To Try Treats That Cannot Last
AND
That Only Serve To Be The Leading Reins
To The Realm Of The Outcast?

I Have Waited This Long
So
I Can Wait
- One Moment More -
For 
HIM
Because He 
- Who Has Promised To Be True To Me -
IS
The God Of All Graces
NOT
The Lord Of The Con Men
With Back To Front Sideways Faces!


PRAYER:

Lord, 
I Love You!
I Honor You True!
I Am A Humble Servant
Working Faithfully For You!

Teach Me, Lord!
Feed Me!
Guide Me In The Right
And
Help Me Ever To Do Right
Even When Wrong Doing
Fantastically Pays!


Help Me To Completely Trust You, Lord
My Beloved Father In Heaven

Especially In Those Times When
The Carnal Man In Me Says "No!"
And

Help Me To Tell
In Faith
- With Compassion -
The Good News Story To Others
My Unknown Friends
And
Not Yet Met
And
Soon To Be - In The Lord -
Sisters
And
Brothers!

Lord, Let My Faith Shine!
Help Me To Walk True

Even If I Walk Alone
And
I Beseech You
To Remember Me

When You Come To Take The Saints
To Their Forever Home!


I Love You, Lord!
Please Let These Words Be True
For
My Sins I Confess
And
I Do Repent Of All My Wrong Doing
Because I Desire To Live
With You
Who Loves Me True!
Please Restore Me

Unto The Joy
Which - In You -
Is Without Alloy!


Teach Me, Lord
To Know My End
And
Show Me The Measure Of My Days
For I Am Frail
And
Without You
I Shall Not Stand!
Upon You, Lord
I Totally Depend!


Pity Me, Lord
And
Hear
And
Answer
And
Show Mercy
For In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Plead!
AMEN.

PRAYER : Father, Please Carry Us Safely Home!


Father,
I Come To You
For You Are The Holy God
Always Able
Always Available
Always Blessing!
Thank You, Lord!

I Come With A Burden
For Those Who Teach The Truth
But
Won't Walk In It!
Who Qualify The Truth
And
Stall Believer's Faith In It!
Who Preach Another Gospel
And
Another Jesus Christ -
A Jesus Made Of Wide Rainbows
Extruded From A Demonic Device!

Father,
You Said We Shall Know Men
By Their Own Works
So We Don't Have To Judge Falsely
For Their Own Words And Works Are Perverse!
I Pray For Them
That You Will Grant Them New Hearts
Made Not Of Stone
But Of Flesh
Molded By The Redeeming Savior
Who Will Issue Judgment
From The Great White Throne!

I Pray For Them
Eye Salve
From Heaven's Apothecary
So That Sight May Be Healed
So They Are No Longer By Self
And
By Satan
Deceived!

I Pray For Them
Unstopped No Longer Itching Ears!
Help Them, Lord
To Set Aside The Temporal
And Pick Up The Eternal -
Heal Their Backsliding!
Help Them To Squarely Face Their Fears
By Giving Them To The True God
Who For Their Soul Cares!

I Pray,  Lord
For Those Carnality's Purse
Those Who For Dollar Bill
Are Willing Your People To Curse!
Father, Forgive Us Our Trespasses
And
Incline Our Hearts To You!

I Pray, Lord
For Those Who Are Steadfast
And
Walking Grounded
In The Gospel Truth
And
I Ask You To Hold Up The Faithful
And
Help Us To Shine The Light
Of Christ's Love
Upon A World Faltering
Floundering
In Deception's Dark Deceits!
Hold Us Up And Shield Us, Lord
For Devil-Inspired Wickedness
As We Share Christ's Faith
By Speaking The Unvarnished Truth -
Your Holy Words Of Life!
Rid Us Of Self - That Scourge Of Mankind
And
Help Us
For The Love Of The Lord Christ
To Leave Sin And Sinning
To Satan And His Kind!

Father,
Feed Us!
Lead Us!
And
Shelter Us In Heaven-Blessed Folds
And
Help Us Hold Fast To Our Desire
To Sing Praises
To Our Almighty God!
Carry Us Safely Home
In Jesus Christ's Name We Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

Put God First!

Honor! Love!
Trust! Worship!
AND
Obey!
Mark The Way To Walk In Fellowship
If We Say God Is Our Lord
When We Pray!

If We Love God
We Will His Commandments Keep!
If We Trust God
We Will Walk In His Ways
No Matter The Way Steep!
If We Honor God
We'll Give
The First Fruits Of Our Increase 
To Help Further The Work Of The Kingdom To Come
AND
If We Worship God
It Will Be With More Than Just Our Tongues
Which In Our Mouths Live!

When We Obey God
God Repays Us
- As Only The Holy God Will Do -
With Treasures Of Peace And Rest Here
AND
Unimaginable Treasures
In The Blessed Kingdom Fair
It Is Promised That We Will Share!
We Will Have No Reason
To Doubt The Payment Of Rewards
For All Will Reap Of His Own Labor
Including The Wicked Fraud!

Honor! Love!
Trust! Worship!
AND
Obey!
Are Not Highminded Concepts
Like Those With Which
The Illuminated Intelligentsia Plays!
These Concepts
These Ideals
Are The Currency Of The Kingdom Not Made With Hands
AND
Are Eternal
Just Like The Godhead
Grand!

Talk Is Cheap!
It Requires No Sweat!
Lying Is Expensive
AND
Gets Us Caught
In Satan's Net Wide And Deep 
BUT
If We Call
The Father
The Son
AND
The Holy Spirit
Almighty God
We Will Do These First Works
To Claim The Reward
Payable At The Coming Of Him Who
Will Claim His Peculiar Treasure
At The Sounding Of The Trumpet Of the Holy God!

Add Endurance
To The Ideals
In The Trial Of Our Faith
For With The Grace Of God
Mercy Shows Its Lovely Face
AND
God's Great Love
Being Ever In Place
We Will Have Nothing To Fear
When God's Justice
Is Executed Against The Wilful Wicked
AND
The Unbelieving
For Whom In Glorious Heaven
There Is No Prepared Place!

Why Would You Choose To Die?

Believe In The Lord Christ
AND
Live!

Keep God's Commandments!
Setting Aside The Lusts Of Carnality
AND
Fear God
Which Together
Is The Whole Duty
Of Humanity!



Keep A Song In Your Heart
And
In Jesus Christ
Be Strong
As You Go On God's Errands!

*********

A Glorious Home In Heaven Awaits!

... On The Broad and Bent-Up Way!






Everywhere I Look
I See
Murder
Greed
Envy and Hate
AND
Those Committed To The Cause
Seem Not To Know That
Time
Is Getting Ready For 
Its Final Round Of Applause!

Pride In Possession
Pride Of Place
Pride In Association
Even In Disgrace
Seems A Badge Of Honor
To Those Whose Fate
Is Clearly Delineated
In Heaven's Everlasting Slate!

Heaven's Slate
Is The Holy Bible True
Preserved By The Living God
As The Right-Living Guide
For Me And For You
AND
Deciding It Is Not Relevant
To Your Current Life
Does Not Change The Fact
That Satan's Way 
- As In The Bible Written -
Is The Way Of Carnality And Vice!

A Person Does Not Have To Believe
That The Bible Is True
For
God Gave Each Man
Free Will And Way To Walk
When He Places His Shoes!
Pity, Though
I Tell You
Many Have Chosen The Way Of The Lie
As Spouted Sprouted By The Proud
The Craven
The Cowardly
The Covetous
The Dark Prince Who Has The Power Of The Air!
And Human Ears, Too!

Don't Fill Your Stomach
With Food You Can't Digest!
Don't Fill Your Heart
With Sin
Refusing It To Confess
For The Day Is Soon Coming
When The Lord And Creator Of All
Will Return To Claim His Creation
Dispossessed By Adam's Fall!

Whether Or Not
You Choose To Believe This Refrain
Know - With Certainty
Creator God
Does Not Play
Human Nor Satanic Games!

God's Word Is THE WORD!
God's Will Is THE WAY
AND
Despising His Law
Is Only Going To Cause You
The Ultimate Penalty
For Yourself
To Have To Pay!

Now Is The Accepted Time
God's Pathway
Is The Way That Shines
Dismiss The Goat-Master
Get Away From The Herd
Call Out To King Jesus
And Your Plea 
Will Be In Truth
Heard!

JESUS SAVES!
Satan Lovingly 
Unbelieving Men's Necks Shave
After Oiling Their Bodies
For The Brimstone And Fire Grave!

Don't Believe
All His Half-Truths
Machinations
AND
White Lies
Strategically Placed
On The Broad And Bent-Up Way
Causing Men
God's Truth To Flagrantly Deny!
Call Out To The Heavenly Father
It Is The Only Safe Way!
Think!
Talk
Or Scream Out
Call Out To God!
He Won't Leave You Out
So
Weak And Falling
On Your Back
Or A Gun In Your Mouth
Call Out His Name - It Is A Prayer
AND
He Will Aid You Out!!

Have Mercy, Lord Jesus 
Is
The Perfect Prayer!
