Repentance Aka The U-Turn Of Life!



Repentance ... Just Like A U-Turn
Is 
Progressive! 
It Is A Change Of Mind 
Caused By A Change Of The Heart 
Which Leads To A Change Of Action Aka Direction! 

Beloved, 

There Was Once A Time When We Would Say That 
A Repentant Sinner Did A 360° Turn! 
This Was Until Wisdom Prevailed 
And 
Understanding Dawned 
And 
Knowledge Spoke Up And Noted That 
A 360° Turn Is A Circle 
Which Meant Doing As One Always Did 
But That 
A 180° Turn Resulted In A Complete Change Of Direction! 

Hallelujah, Wisdom! 

Thank You, Lord, For The Cautionary Tale Which Says: 

In All Your Getting
 Get Understanding! 

We Are Grateful, Lord
For The Knowledge Which Increases! 

Dear Ones, 

Turning Around ... Changing Direction
Without Having Your Chosen Life-Style Turned Upside-Down 
Changes Absolutely Nothing! 

Genuine Repentance Aka Repentance Of The Godly Sort
Means That Friends, Associates, Relationships
Tastes, Likes, Dislikes
And 
Our Reservation For Our Final Port Of Call 
Must Change! 

We Can No Longer Call Upon Christ 
And 
Do Like The Devil! 

Calling Upon Christ For Saving Truth 
And
Deliberately Acting Upon It 
Changes Our Life
Our Life-Style
And 
Our Character! 

Jesus Christ The Lord
Is 
The Truth 
And 
Living By And In The Truth 
Means Living For Our King Jesus! 

Let's Think About It! 
Let's Earnestly Pray About It
And
Let's Wisely Act Upon It 
Because 
Our Personal Future Depends Upon It! 

Peace!



Living For Jesus Christ Now
Is
Living A Life
That
Has Only Just Begun!

The Unpardonable ... Sin!

The Prophet Balaam Beor
The Benjamite King Saul
AND
The Disciple Judas Iscariot
Grieved Away
The Holy Spirit Of God!

These Three Committed
The Unpardonable Sin!
These Three Treated
With The Fraud!
These Three ... Witnesses
Are Our Plain Examples
Showing That
No Good Comes
When One's Life Is Void Of 
The Comfort
The Peace
The Presence Of 
The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal
The One
The Living God!

Also, Note That ...

Lying To The Holy Spirit
Comes With A Death Sentence
I Can Tell You This Is True
For
Ananias And Sapphira
Found That Out The Hard Way
AND
Their Record Is In Holy Writ
As A Clear Caution
To Me And To You!

Jesus Christ Said To His Disciples:

I Will Not Leave You Comfortless!
I Will Send You Another Comforter!

Plainly Saying
That We Need Comfort
AND
Making Clear That
The Only Comfort
For Man's Tried
AND
Dying Soul
Comes From
The Holy Spirit Of God!

Those Who Like King Saul
Dabble In Witchcraft
AND
Indulge In Willful Disobedience
Looking For The Man Of God 
Long Dead
To Rise Up Upon Man's Request
AND
Able Assistance And Comfort Give
Will Receive Into Themselves Sure Damnation! 

Look At The Holy Record!

King Saul's Slide Started
With A Little Disobedience
Immediately Followed By A Plain Lie
Followed By
Cast The Blame On Another
Followed By
Persecution Of The Innocent
Then The Execution Of
The Priests Of The Holy God
AND ALL BECAUSE
He Had No Soul Rest
No Spirit Peace
AND
Only In Pushing The Envelope
If You Will
Could He Find A Facsimile Of Relief
Until ... Until
The Request For A Banned Witch
AND
The Visit To
The Witch Of Endor
Brought Him Too Late
To His Senses
AND
Left Him Abjectly Humbled
In Deed Accursed
A Suicide
A Trophy
A Head On A Philistine Spike
On A Public Roadside!

Balaam Beor
Greedy For Gain
A Prophet Said To Be Of God
But A Prophet
Ever Looking For The Highest Reward
Who Beat The Faithful Ass
Until God Gave Unto It Voice!

Yet ... And Still
The Prophet Was Urged On By Profit
BUT
Didn't Long Live To Enjoy It!

When The Prophet Of God
Resists The Prompting Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Willingly Sells The People Of God
To An Idol-Loving Pagan King
For A Reward
You Can Be Sure
He Has His Own Damnation Secured
Because
He Has Grieved The Holy Spirit Away
AND
Having Been Left To His Own Lustful Will
Did
His Own Soul Damn
His Own Soul Kill!

Judas Iscariot Joined Himself To Jesus
BUT
His Were The Ways Of The Fraud
Looking
For Power And Prestige
Seeking 
Into Things
Way Above His Pay Grade
AND
Being A Thief
Greedy
He Worked His Own Damnation
By Being A Fully Involved Participant 
In Obvious Sin
AND
To Sin
The Devil's Willing Slave!

The Lord Jesus Washed Judas' Feet
Offering Forgiveness
In Exchange For Necessary Repentance
BUT
Stubborn
Judas Turned Down
Christ's Loving Entreaty
AND
The Very Devil
Freely Entered Into Him
AND
He Left The Presence Of Jesus
AND
It Was Night ... Time
AND
NIGHT
... In His Soul
AND
He Ended Up A Body Burst Open
A Suicide! 

Sigh ...

So Much For 30 Pieces Of Silver
When He Could Have Had
Heaven's Tried Gold!

No Human
No Matter How Lofty
No Matter How Crafty
Can Thrive
Without The Holy Spirit Of God
AND
All Who Look TO Satan
For Their EXAMPLE Of THRIVING Prosperity
Should Look AT Satan's Record
AND
Thereby
Be Warned!

A Human Being Without God's Holy Spirit
Is A Demon
Clothed
In Human Flesh!
All Demons Are Damned! 
ANDThis Truth Stands
The Bible Test!

All Human Beings 
Living Without The Grounding Spirit Of The Holy God
Are Damned Once!
Damned Twice!
So 
Be Very Careful, My Friend
Of Whom You PERMIT To Run Your Life
As You Face The Great Controversy's Strife!

Jesus Saves!
Satan Does Not!
Jesus Saves!
Satan Belongs
To The Damned-For-Eternity Lot!
Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost
AND 
His Pardon Is To All FREE 
EXCEPT 
To Those Who Commit
Holy Spirit Blasphemy!

Recipe For Disaster!




... I Had Left The World In Practice
AND
Not Too Long After
My Spirit Followed
BUT
You Must Understand That
It Was A Fight
For My Spirit ... For A Time
Still Basked
In The Things-Of-The Wicked-World Glow!
I Still Wanted To Go With The Flow!

That's The Truth!
I Know!

I Had Thought Nothing Of It
For
I Was Done With The Allurements Of The World
Until The Day I Heard The Trumpet Calling
AND
My Hair Started To Curl!

Shocked ... I Cried Out:

Lord,
What Meanest This?!
I've Forsaken The World
So Why Is My Spirit
Desiring A Worldly Twirl?!


I Got Out The Old Bible
And Had Me A Look Through
AND
Then The Story Of Lot And His Family
Was Under My Review!

I Read It!
I Pondered It!
I Read It ... Again
AND
Knew
That The Key To My Problem
Laid In The Person Of Lot's Wife Who
Loved Life In The Flesh Pot
More Than The God Who
Staved Off Sure Destruction
So That Through The Gate To Salvation
She Could
- With Alacrity -
Walk Through!

The Things That One Loves
Are The Things That Hold Dominion
Over Body And Spirit
AND
You Can Be Sure 
That - With Wisdom - They'll Never Attend
The Faith-In-God's-Word Cotillion!

Control Of The Spirit
Must Be Given Over To The Savior
Or Else
Spirit Will Encourage Carnal-Minded Body
To Indulge In Known Unseemly Behavior!

Lot's Wife Loved Her Things
More Than She Loved Her Life
AND
Her Love Of Her Perishable Things
Cost Her ... Her Unregainable Life!

Living In The Flesh
Is Looking For 
Embracing Death
AND
Death Is Disguised
As Looking Good At Living Life
Until Death Is Unmasked
After You - Lost - Die!

Come On!
How Is Unmasked Death Profitable
To The One Who Dies?!

It Isn't!
It's A Cautionary Tale
For The Living
Teaching Them Not To Despise
The Blessings Of Heaven
AND
Not To Be Ruled
By The Devil's Leaven!

"Do What Thou Wilt!"
Is The Recipe For Disaster
AND
Many Are They
Who Stoke The Damned Devil's Laughter
By Not Committing
Body AND Spirit
To The Care Of The Lord
AND
Walking, Walking Talking
In Inharmonious Profession
In The Face Of The World
In The Sight Of The Eternal God!

What, May I Ask You
Is An Inharmonious Profession?!

That's When Your Walk And Your Talk 
Don't Comport aka Align aka Line Up!

Exactly!

Yeah! They Talk Turkey And Walk Duck!

What I Still Don't Understand
Is The Correlation Between You And Lot's Wife?!

Lot Ran A Godly Operation
AND
It Is Assumed ...!

... Careful Wielding That Assume Thingy!
It's A Side-Winder!

Will Do!
We Take For Granted
That Lot's Wife Was A Godly Person
BUT
If You Look Closely
You Will Plainly See 
That In The Hour Of Her Trial
Her Love Of Her Possessions 
AND
Apparent Status
Rendered Her A Woman Starkly Ungodly
- Plainly Idolatrous -
For Her Things Obtained Her Worship
AND
In The Day Of Escape
Her Spirit Was Behind Her
- She Seemingly Felt That God Had Dealt Harshly With Her -
Esconced In The Damned City
AND SOHer Quivering Flesh
Concerned Fearful
For Its Welfare
Wittingly
Wilfully
- Slighting The Eternal God's Grace -
Did Look Back ...!

... And Death Attacked!

That's A Shame ... A Disgrace!

I Get It! I Get It!
Her Spirit Led Her Eyes
So She Looked Back ... Twice!
Her Heart Was In The Doomed City
So Her Body Wanted
Yearned
To Be There
And, So
Her Eyes Thereto Turned!

How True!
Your Spirit Controls Your Body
Unless AND Until
You Turn Over Self
- Completely -
To The Lord Of Life
- Totally -
To Make The Way For You
In The Carnal Strife!

Well Put!
God In - Self Out!
Self In - God Out!

Man Cannot Serve Two Master
For
One Will Be The King
And The Other  Will Be As Broken Plaster
And Therein Will Lie
Sure And Real Disaster!

Man Needs To Learn This Lesson For Life Faster
So That The Lord Of Life
Will Be Their Only Master!

Amen!

Faith First!






Cautionary Tale
Knows A Story About Everybody
AND
His Brother
So
When Willing To-Trust
Was Out And About
He Had To Give Him
A Cautionary Shout-Out ...

Hey, Hastening To-Be-Rich!

Don't Go To Him!

Why Not?!

Because He Ain't Innocent!
Run Swift To Money
Is Always Going To Be Sorry!

Come On, Man!

Alright ... You Wait And See!
He's A Grabbit
Always Putting Everything In His Pocket
And
On His Policy
He Would Never Give A Dying Dog A Bone
Far Less A Lost Man
A Free Call On His "Royal" Telephone!

I Hear You
AND
I Understand You
BUT
I Don't Know Him Like That
So I Can't Speak Or Think Of Him In A Disparaging Way
BUT
I Will Be Careful!

Oh, Look! There's Faithful Man!
Faithful Man! Faithful Man!

Good Man! Good Man!
He Is Full Of Blessings
And On God's Word He Stands!
Prayer To Him Is Choice Fare
And
He Is Always Extending His Hand!

Why Do You Say That?!

Because ...

He That Does The Will Of The Father
Will In No Wise Be Poor
Because
The Blessings Of Heaven
Are Prepared For The Faithful
Now
AND
Abundantly More So
When They Reach
The Golden Shore!


God's Promises Are Faithful!
God's Word Is Ever True!
God's Gifts Keep Giving
AND

Giving
If We To Him 

Remain Faithful And True!

Faith First
Is No Catch Praise
For
We Are Justified By Faith
AND
We Have Peace With
Our Father God
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord

Who
- According To Our Own Works -
Does Each Man Reward!

Our God 
Is Faithful Kind And True
Loving Giving And Blessing, Too
Saving Sealing
Helping Healing

AND
Guiding Us Along Life's
And
Forgiving And Restoring Us

When
We Stumble
Along Life's Perilous Way

No Matter What 
The Accuser Of The Brethren Says!

Prayer Is The Key
In The Hand Of ...


... Faith That Unlocks
Heaven's Storehouses ...!
