HAPPY SABBATH + WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE: Mercy And Truth!

Image result for happy sabbath




Mercy And Truth Are Preservatives!
When We Christians ... Sojourners
Walk In Truth
We Receive Mercy From The Hand Of
The Eternal God By Jesus Christ The Lord!
The Holy Spirit ... The Master Teacher
The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
Who Abides With Us Forever 
Leads Us Into All Truth!

Truth Does Not Live At The Behest Of Fallen Man!
Truth 
Is 
Not Subjective
Being Subject To Our Whims And Fancies
Our Foibles
Our Always-Dynamic Feelings
Nor The Winds Of Change
Blowing According To the Tide Of
Our Time In The Fickle Spotlight!

There Is Nothing Savory
About A Person Saying That
"I'm Living My Truth!"
Every Man Is A Liar!

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Truth: Believe It! 
   The Truth 
     Is 
       The Way: Walk In It! 
          Jesus Christ 
             Is 
               The Light: Stay In Its Glow! 
                 Jesus Christ 
         Is 
          The Lord: Remember It! 
       The Lord, Our Lord
    Is 
Merciful: Depend On Him! 


So, With That Being Said ...

I Was Sinking Deep In Sin!
I Was Going To Pieces
And
Not Headed To The Peaceful Shore!
I Couldn't Be Bothered To Let The Savior In!
I Walked On The Wild Side!
I Belonged To The Rat Race
But
Ratting And Racing
Were Turning Me Into A Disgrace

Until

The Day Dawned
And
The True Daystar Shone
In The Nooks And The Crannies Of My Hear
Highlighting A Life That Sin Spawned
And
Showing A Summary Of Known Sin 
And 
The Regrets For Untoward Longings
For Frets 
And 
The Inordinate Desire For Things Called Gotta Get!

The Book That Is A Transcript Of His Character
Showed Me My Life As Out Of Step With His
And
My Personal Mirror Showed Me
The Impress Of A Life That Did Things That Don't Matter!

I Looked At The Good Book: It Is Good!
I Looked At The Shiny Mirror!
The Book Couldn't Clean Me
And
The Mirror Simply Showed Me That I Needed Cleaning
So Being In Awe ... Godly Fear
I Consciously Chose To Talk To Him Who Cares
To Him Who Prepared A Cleansing Flood For Me
To Him Who Gives New Life For Old
To Him Who Destroys The Roaring Lion
And
Slick And Slithering Serpent
Who Take Pleasure In The Unwary Soul's Beguilement!

I Know That I Am Fortunate!
I Am Aware That I Am Constantly Blessed!
I Daily Receive New Mercies
And
I Am Immersing Myself In Lively Truth!
I Am A Believer In The Mighty Power Of 
The Lord Christ Who Chooses To Care For Me
A Known-Sinful Child Of The Dust
And
I Have Been Reformed
Am Justified
And
Am Being Sanctified
Moment By Moment
Day By Day ... Until He Comes Or I Die!

I Keep My Connection To This Holy One Open
By Constant 
And 
Heartfelt, Unfeigned, Prayer!
I Daily Give Up Self
And
I Have Gained The Savior ... Of My Own Soul!

I
P ut
R egret For Known Sin On The
A ltar Of Sacrifice As I
Y ield My Will And My Way To Jesus Christ!

Praying Is Power!
Praying Is Powerful!
Prayer Changes Things!
Prayer Is A Conversation Between Me And My Lord
And
I Tell Him The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
My Wants And Desires
My Sorrows And My Despairs
And
I Also Give Him Thanks And Praise
And
Rest In His Love
Because
He Is Always Near!

I Saw ... I See ... The Light ...

He Lifts Me Up
And
Leads Me Gently, Safely, Onward
And
By His Gift Of Daily Faith And Grace
I Am A Soldier Of The Cross
On Which He Cruelly Died
So That I ... Being Repentant And Faithful
Should Not To His Living Kingdom
Ever Be Lost!

Christian Endurance
Is Not A Horse-Race!

Brethren,

Our God ... The Living God Giving Grace
And 
Offering Glory
Is 
The God Who Never Sleeps
Who Always Sees Everything
Hears And Knows Everything
Feels Everything
And 
Responds To Our Every Cry 
Whether We See Him, Hear Him Or Feel Him: 
On His Constant Care 
And 
Gracious Hand Of Provision
We Are To Unwaveringly Rely! 

We Are Not To Look Sorrowfully On What Is! 
We Are To Look Longingly 
Unto What The Unerring Holy God Says 
Shall Surely Be
And 
Believe The Promise Given
And 
Be Blessed For Exercising Holy Faith Daily Given! 

Doubting Is Easy! 
Having Faith In The Unknown Is Hard! 
Doubt Kills! 
Faith Cures And Assures 
And 
Ever Always Reassures!
Jesus Christ The Righteous ... The Daystar
Is 
The Open Door: Walk Through Him
Live By Him 
And
Live For Him
And 
Be Forever Blessed! 

You Don't Know How Your Smart Phone Works
But
You Trust That It Will 
And 
You Use It ... Religiously
And
Can't Live Without It!
Please Don't Trust Your Smart Phone 
More Than You Trust The Lord God Almighty 
Who Made The Brains Of Its Inventors! 

Only Jesus Christ Saves:
No Man Born Of A Woman
Can Live Without the Lord Jesus! 
We Need Our Lord Jesus: Make The Connection Today!
Peace Be Upon You!

Living For Jesus!




Feelings Are Sought!
Feelings Are Fought!
Feelings May Be Bought
And
Feelings May Be - By The Unwary - Caught!

Hold-It In
Let-It Out
And
I-Don't Care
Are Children Of One Father!

Born Of Different Mommies, There Is No Doubt!

They Are Loved, Appreciated
Blessed ... You Can Be Sure
And
They Each Must Make Their Own Personal Decision
To ... Or No To
Walk Through The Pearl Gate
Through Heaven's Front Door!


In The Way Station Called Earth
In The Attitude Called Life
In The Method Called Living
They Each Face The Mortal Strife:


Will They Walk Wise Unto Salvation!?!
Will They Indulge The Folly Of Sin!?!
Will They Listen To The Voice Of The Sweet Spirit
Or
Will They Run With The Rabid Sinner, Satan

And 
Be Worldly
Going Wild-Goating!?!


Who Will Order Their Steps!?!
Who Will Point Them To Eternal Life!?!


Who Will Say:


This Is The Glorious Way:
Walk Ye In It!?!

Who Will Do The Good And The Right
And
Turn Them Away From The Life That 

Does The Purchased Soul Blight!?!

Who Will Stand Up For These Dear Ones!
Who Will Speak Truth To Them In Righteousness!?!


Free Will And Free Choice ...

Will They Go Against The World's Ways
And
Choose To Cooperate With Jesus
 Christ The Lord!?!

Jesus Christ's Gifts 
Bless And Save ...

Hope 
Is 
A Seed That Does Eternal Spring!

Faith
Is 
The Gift That Gives As Long As The Soul Is Living!

Truth 

Is 
The Blessing That 
No One Knows Its Depth, Width Nor Height!

Trust 

Is 
The Conveyance Ridden
That Prevents One From Christ From Back-Sliding!


Forgiveness 

Is 
The Cloak 
That Is Buttoned On To Our Bodies By Belief!

Mercy And Grace 

Are 
Eternal Shoes 
On The Feet Of The One 
Who Is Climbing Jacob's Ladder 
To The Father's House 
Where Jesus Christ Have Prepared For Him A Place!

Endurance 

Is 
Cup, Bowl, Basket That Holds 
The Bread 
And 
Water Of Life 
In Working Faith's Two Hands!

And

All Combine In The Life Of The One
Who Sets Aside Self
Selfish Desire
Self-Satisfaction

And
Self-Aggrandizement
For Self Denial
And
To Love And Serve The Eternal God 

And 
To Love And Be Of Service To A Sister, A Brother!

Will They Choose To Feel The Personal Love Of Jesus
- Felt By Him -
For Each One Of Them!?!

Brethren,

Where You Are Hold-It In
Let-It Out
Or
I-Don't Care
You Were Purchased Without Silver Or Gold
And
At Great Price
The Blood Of The Innocent Lamb
- Once Dead -
But
Now Living Forevermore
Who Holds The Book Of Life 
And
You Are Called To Be A Blessed, Desired Child Of
The Great King, Holy Eternal!

Lay Down Your Pain
Your Sorrow
Your Shame
Your Doubt
Your Disbelief
Your Sin
Your Self
On The Altar Of Sacrifice
And
Ask The Holy God Loving
Giving, Forgiving, Providing
For The Outpouring
For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
For Leading And Guidance
For Provision And Protection
For Comfort And Aid
For Faith And Endurance
For Forgiveness And Blessing
For Peace And Rest
For The New Life In Christ
Who, Alone, Saves!

Please, I Beseech You
Care ... Choose To Care
For Your Own Soul
And
Reach Out And Touch The Hand Of Hope
The Hand Of Healing
The Hand Of The One Who Reveals
Who Seals
Who Helps ... All
Who See Of Him Their Great Need
Who See In Him Their Soul Satisfied!

Live!
Live For Jesus Christ ... Now
And
You Will Live With Jesus Christ ... Later!


Jesus Christ Is Coming ... Soon!

ETERNAL SECURITY : Once Saved Always Saved! Says Who?!?








Eternal Security
Is A Satanic Lie
Used By The Devil
To Cause Bold Men
God
To Defy!

Eternal Security
Is Also Attached To
"There Is No Victory Over Sin!"
For Not Sinning
- According To Satan-Inspirited Men -
Is Not A Part Of
True Authentic Living!

The Word Of The Holy God Says:

"The Soul That Sins - It Shall Die!"

BUT
The Soul That With God's Requirements
For Salvation
Does Truly Comply
Shall
In The Great Day
To Heaven Fly!

Confession AND Repentance
Shall The Sentence For Sin
Nullify
BUT
There Is No 
"Once Saved, Always Saved!"
AND
This Can Be Easily Verified!

If There Was OSAS ...

There Would Be No Need
For
Grace For Today's Needs
Nor
Faith For Today
As You Along Life's Pathways 
Deliberately Speed!

There Would Be No Need
To Pray Without Ceasing!
No Need For
From Sin, You Must Be Ceasing!
AND
No More Need For 
Trust AND Obey
For Heaven
- Already Assured -
Requires No More
Of Your Puny Striving!

Let No Man Steal Your Crown
Would Be A Waste!
Oh, Taste And See That God Is Good
Would Be Out Of Place!
AND
Do Good AND Good Will Attend Thee
Would Be Unnecessary
For
Eternal Security
As A Luxury Blanket
Cocoons Thee!

Walk By Faith
- Assuredly -
Is Become A Lie!
Let The Holy Spirit Lead
Would Be Passe! - A Wind Dry!
Letting Holy Angels
Influence Us To Do Good
Would Be De Trop
For
Doing Good
AND
Doing Evil
Would Become One And The Same
AND
Christian Living
Would Be A Sure Flop!




Lying Is To Sinning
What Sinning Is To Dying!

*********

Don't Buy A Lie!
Buy The Truth
And
Sell It Not!
Trust The Love Of God
And
Live In Jesus Christ
For
He Is The Only Security
That We Have Got!!!

*********

Die To Sin!
Live In Christ!
Walk With The Lord!
And
Fly With The Angels
For
That Is
Jesus' Blood-Bought Promise!

Unfurl The Flag!!

*********

God Can Cry!
But
God Cannot Die!
And
God Cannot Lie!

So ...

Eternal Security
Living In Sin
Is
Satan's Great Lie
To Get Man
The Fire And Brimstone Lake
To Be Cast In!

Deny The Gross Liar!

True Security
True Eternal Security
Comes From
Forsaking Doing Sin
And
Walking
In Willful Obedience
To God's Holy Word!

Christos Came A-Calling!





He Had Lived A Life Of
Totally Glorious Luxury
AND
Barring One Unfortunate 
Unnecessary Incident
He Had Been
Faithfully Loved 
AND
Lovingly Worshipped
By Every Single Being
He Could In His Eye Behold!

Life Is Good!
Good - That Is
Until The Day
That It Was Decided
That He Would Have To Go 
AND
Make Peace
In One Of The Family's Houses!

Ruction Had Broken Out!
People Were Fighting!
People Were Dying!
People Were Calling Themselves God
AND
There Was Open Opposition
To None Less Than 
Almighty God Himself
In The Family's Favorite House Of All Places
Just Because Of Somebody
Thoroughly Conceited
Selfish
Wilfull
Cruel
Liard
AND
Unrepentantly Wicked!

The Former Top Servant To The Master
In The Great House Itself
Had Decided That
If He Could Not Be Boss
In The Great House
He Was Going To Destroy
One Of The Family's Households
... Just For Spite!

Anyway ...

Long Story Short
That Knave
Had Been In Love With His Own Formerly Gorgeous Self
AND
Desiring Others To Worship Him
As He Worshipped Himself
Had Brought That Peculiar Estate
- A Favorite Of The Father -
To Ruin
AND
That Is Why
Christos Had Had To Make 
The Arduous Journey!

The Experience Is Novel
For
When He Said Who He Is
Just About Everybody
Thought Him A Liar
A Blasphemer
AND
An Employee Of Beelzebub
The Very Wretch
Christos Had Come
To Save The Estate From!

It Was A Total Farce!

NOW ...

Everybody Knows That Story
But
I Personally Wonder 
How Christos Felt
Not Feeling Anything
From The Majority Of His Family
BUT
Hate!

I Know That He Could Commune With His Father
But
I Want To Know
To Understand This :

How Does One
Who Has Only Known Love
Exist
- In His Own Property -
Amongst A People Out Of Himself
Who Are Protected And Provided For
By Himself
AND
Who Despise His Very Existence
Survive?

How Did Love Live Without Love

Amongst The Unlovely
But Beloved
Unkind And Cruel Family
And
Survive
Unbesmirched
By
That Pervasive Taint Of Sin
Mingled With Ravaging Hate?!


Not Every Single Person Hated Him For There Was A Remnant Who Knew A Godsend
When They Heard One!

BUT ... 

The $1,000,000,000,000 Question Remains:



How Do WE Personally Stand Up 
For Jesus 
In The Face Of Rabid Familial Hate
Disrespect AND Dishonor 
When Every Body Knows That 
We Need Love To Survive



The Answer Is Important For Every Christian's Survival In These Last Days!


Mother Against Child

Enemies Within Your Home
Self Before Jesus Is Not Worthy Of Jesus
Anything Given Up For Jesus Christ
Is Returned 
Tenfold!
Jesus Christ Is Faithful
His Own Will He Secure
All We Need Is Endurance In Him
AND
We Shall His Face In Peace
Behold!

The Holy Spirit Offers Comfort
The Holy Angels Provide Protection Each Day
We Need To Remember To Follow The Captain
AND
Strive By His Word
To Walk Firmly
On His Marked Pathway!

The Devil Is Not Going To Ease You
The Devil Will Pour Out Virus-Mimicking Hate
We Must Keep Our Eyes On Our Savior
Else
We Will Share In The Devil's Just Fate!

Let Us Keep Our Eyes Upon Jesus
Let Us Walk Boldly Unto The Christ
Let Us Sing For Joy
For The Revealing
Will
Turn The Dark Days
Into Glorious Light!

Jesus Is The Way
The Truth
AND
The Light
Let Us
Through Him
By Him
For Him
In Him
Be Faithful
For There Is Always The Darkness
Before There Is The Light!


*********

Jesus Christ

IS

The Light Of The World!
