Within The Love Of Almighty God!








Within The Love Of Almighty God To Fallen Man 
Is 
Correction, Direction, Protection 
An
Provision! 

Our God ... With Our Willing Cooperation
Corrects The Wayward Thoughts In Our Heads
Directs Our Footsteps To And On Straight Paths
Protects Our Bodies Within The Hedge Of Love That 
Is 
The Holy Law
And 
Provides Provisions For Our Every Need
Including The Ones That We Have Not Even Considered! 

Beloved, 

We Have The One-Stop For All Good And Perfect Gifts 
In The Almighty God, Father, Son, And Holy Spirit 
Who See, Hear, Feel 
And 
Know All Things About All Of Us At All Times! 

We Have ... As Our Very Own Helper And Healer
The Holy God Who Cries Us
And 
Rejoices Over Us: 
He Is Touched With The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Our Short-Comings
Our Sorrows, Joys, Pains
And
Griefs! 

Our God Hates The Sin That 
So Easily Besets All Of Us 
But
Oh, How He Loves You And Me! 

Just So You Know ...

We Can't Disappoint The All-Knowing God
And 
We Can't Surprise The All-Seeing God 
But
We Are Well Able To Hurt Him
And
Shame Him! 

Don't You Think That Given All That He Has Done
Is Doing
And 
Will Do For Us That 
We Should Change Our Wrong Thoughts
Give Up Speaking Unkind Words 
And 
Stop Doing Evil Actions
And Instead
Show Favor To Our Ever-Present God 
By Doing What He Asks Us To Do Today!?! 

Be Obedient!
Be Kind!
Be Loving!
Be Giving!
Be Forgiving
And 
Be Enduring! 
By Faith, It Isn't Hard To Do! 

Remember That You Are Already Blessed!

The Watchman: All In!



 
 





A Watch Is A Guard, A Restraint! 
If The Lord ... By The Holy Spirit 
Is 
Your Watchman ... Your Guard
It Means That He Is Keeping You Safe In His Care 
And 
Safe From All That Would Cause You Eternal Harm! 

If The Lord Is Guarding You ... At Your Request
By The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength 
Who Influence You To Do What Is Good And Right
It Means That You Must Cooperate With Your Guardians 
As They Guide You To Safety! 

Beloved, 

Even Though The Lord 
Is 
Our Guard, Guide And Stay Aka Keeper
We Are To Diligently Work Our Own Soul's Salvation 
By Constantly Praying 
And
Listening To Hear The Responses To Our Prayers
And
Doing What Is Required Of Us 
Even If The Response 
Is Not 
The One For Which We Had Hoped! 

We May Pray All We Want 
But 
If We Do Not Obey The Guard As We Ought
The Benefits That We Have So Pitifully Requested 
Will Not Be Ours To Harvest 
And
In Quietness Enjoy! 

It Is Time For Us To Get Our Spiritual Houses In Order: 
Pray In Faith! 
Listen With Hope! 
Accept Answers For Love! 
Act With Confidence! 
Rest In Peace! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

There Are Many Things That We Won't Receive 
Because 
We Don't Ask! 
There Are Things That We Receive That Don't Profit 
Because 
We Don't Have A Working Faith! 
Dare To Learn The Difference! 

Trust The Lord Jesus 
     All The Way 
                  As You Pray!

The Path To Glory


Philippians 2:13 KJV – KJV Bible Verses


The Christian's Path To Glory Requires Two Things 
Which Many With The Modern Mind-Set Of "Gimme!" 
Find Alien To Their Way Of Thinking 
And 
Being! 

The Way Home To The Lord Christ 
Requires Effort
And
Cooperation
Because
The Lord Is Offering The Gift Of Life Everlasting
- With Joy And Peace -
For Which He Has Infinitely Paid
To Make Available To Us All! 

The Gift 
Is 
There For Us To Take At Will
And 
Open 
And 
Utilize
But
Jesus Christ Will Never Do For Us 
What We Must Do For Ourselves: 
We Must Willingly Cooperate With Him 
Through The Agency ... Through The Working 
Aka The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us In All Truth! 

Grieve Not The Holy Spirit
By Whom You Are Sealed
Against The Great Day Of
Small Things!

Brethren,

For Us To Reach The Heavenly Home
We Must Express Godly Desire 
And 
Reach For The Extended Holy Hand! 
We Must Open The Free Gift Freely Given
And
We Must Use The Blessed Gift 
In The Manner Intended! 

Let's Remind Ourselves ...

We Can Do All Things 
Through Christ ... Who Strengthens Us 
And
We Must Accept That 
There Is Nothing Impossible With God! 

The Lord Has Done All The Heavy Lifting 
And 
All We Are Required To Do 
Is 
To Be Willing To Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation 
With Godly Fear 
And 
Trembling! 

With A Little Human Effort
We ... By Faith ...  Must Choose To Cooperate With 
And 
Follow Our Jesus 
As And Where He Leads! 

Remember, Beloved

Anything Worth Having 
Is 
Worth The Work Needed To Acquire it! 
Dare To Yield Your Will To King Jesus: 
Peace With Almighty God 
Is 
The Blessing! 



Only The Obedient
Enduringly Faithful
Child Of The Living God
Will Hear
"Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!"

KNOWING JESUS CHRIST: We Can't Outlive Almighty God's Goodness!



PSALMS 18:2 KJV "The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my ...



We Are Going To Talk About Our Lord
And
We Are Going To Keep Talking About Him
Until We All Understand Who He Is
What He Does
What He Is Doing
And
Will Be Doing For Each And Every One Of Us ... Personally
If
We Are Willing To Obey And Cooperate With Him!

Today We Are Review Psalm 18 Verse 2
And
We Are Going To Take Time To Understand!
We All Can Read
But
True Understanding For Everyone Of Us
Can Be A Mite Sketchy At Times
So By God's Great Grace
And
The Holy Spirit's Guidance
We Are Going To Unpack This Great Verse Of Scripture!

Always Pray For Illumination
And
The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
And
Dare To Be Quiet
And
Shut Out The World's Opinions
And
Listen To The Still Small Voice Of God!

Simply Put, 
The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Firm Foundation
Our Impregnable Shield
Our Unassailable Champion
Our Bed, Bath, And Beyond
Our Plate, Cup, Knife
Fork And Spoon ... Not That Abomination Called A Spork
Our Big-Picture Station
Our Storehouse Of Plenty Good Food 
For Our Body, Our Beliefs And Our Laborings
And 
Our Forever Home 
Opened To Accept Whosoever Will 
From Wheresoever You May Come! 

Our Lord Is A Known Quantity
Always The Same
Not Given To Fickleness
Unchanging ... Unchangeable
Our Faithful Pastor
Our Perfect Parent
And
Our Very Much Needed Great Physician! 

Beloved, 

There Aren't, Nor Ever Will Be, Any Immortal Sinners
And
We Will Never Live Long Enough 
- Be It In Time Or In Eternity - 
To Find Out All That Jesus Christ Is Doing
Has Done
And 
Will Do For Us Personally! 

Our Lord Christ 
Is 
The Big God Filling The Immensity Of Eternity
And
He Is Real And Righteous 
An
Returning For Those Who Choose Him 
As Their Sun, Moon And Stars
Hope, Help And Sure Salvation! 

Please Be Reminded, Beloved, That
We Can Do All Things Through Christ 
Because 
He Is The One, The God, Who Strengthens Us! 
There Is No Us Without Him!

Dare To Know ...
Dare To Believe ...
Dare To Accept ...
Dare To Repeat ...
Dare To Live In The Knowledge That ...

We Are Everything To Our God 
And 
When He Is Everything To Us 
We Are The Majority Against The Wily Foe! 

We Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made 
In The Image Of Almighty God: 
Studiously Lift Up The Lord Always
And 
Without Fail
Be Infinitely, Eternally, Blessed! 

May His Perfect Peace Be Ours Today ...!

... And Forever!

AMEN!!!

If You Are Always Asking God
For Things
Your Mouth Is Always Open
And
You Cannot Hear
What He Is Saying To You
To Bless You:
Choose To Be Quiet At Times!!!

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

Be Still ...
And Know ...
That
He Is Almighty God Glorious!

TALKING A LOT AND DOING NOTHING: Time To Exercise Faith!

... I Have A Bible!

Do You Read It!?!

I Wear A Cross!

Do You Bear Your Cross!?!

I Talk To God!

Do You Listen To God!?!

I Follow The Rules!?!

Do You Follow The Laws Of God!?!

I Am A Child Of God!

Are You A Servant Of God!?!

I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus!

Are You Becoming Like Jesus!?!

Brethren,

We Can All Say Something Nice
About Our Relationship With Almighty God
But
Is Our Something Satisfactory, Pleasing, To The Lord
Or Does It Excite Satan, The God-Fraud!?!

Oh, Dear!

Nice Expression But Ain't Worth A Lot!
Nice Expression That Can Lead To The Blot!
Nice Expressions Don't Lead To God's Favor
Unless That Expression 
Is
Based And Built Upon Righteousness
And
Gives Off A Heavenly Savor!

Oh, Dear!

Oh, Dear, Indeed!

We All Talk A Good Deal
And
We Say All The Right-Sounding Words
But
Our Thoughts Prior Are Terrible
And
Our Subsequent Actions Are Abominable!

Do You Realize That Not One Of Us Said That
We Are Faithful
Living By Faith
Walking Under The Banner Of The Lord Christ
And
Striving Not To Be A Cast Out Disgrace!?!

I Noticed That No One Said Anything
About Endurance 
About Enduring All Things For The Lord
About Seeking To Gain The Mastery Over Self
About Denying The Works Of The Devil
About Overcoming Sin
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Who Died Sickeningly To Save Us All ...!

... And Don't Nobody Say "Oh, Dear!"
We Are All Guilty!

Friends, Let's Get Real!
We Could Spend All Night At This "Funeral"
But If We Don't Seek To Change
Our Real Funeral Will Be In The Lake Of Fire!

Chrissy, You Said Earlier That
You Talk To God But That You Don't Know
What It Is That You Should Be Hearing For An Answer!

Yes, I Did!
I Often Wonder What Is The Voice I'm Hearing
Because The Very Thing I Ask For Help Not To Do
Is The Very Thing I End Up Doing ...!

... Because 
You Are Relying On Your Self
And
Not On The Word Of The Living God!

The Living, Holy, Word Of The Eternal God
Is Never 
Contradicted By The Voice Of
The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth ... Of The Eternal God!

AMEN!!!

Okay!
Let's Talk Turkey Aka Jesus Christ's Gift To Us!






The Lord Gives Unto Each Of Us 
A Daily Measure Of His Faith ... For That Day
And 
The Strength To Exercise It ... To Work It
Because 
Faith Without Work Is Dead! 

Living By Faith Is Hard
And
Easy
And 

A Necessity! 

We Are Saved By God's Grace 
Through The Exercising Of Our Gift Of Faith 
So Let Us Dare To Trust The Lord At His Word
And
Obey Him
And
Walk Boldly In His Light 
To Receive Our Sure Blessings Today
And
Every Day! 

Blessings Always Await The Faithful!

Remember Old Sister Cheryl's Prayer:


Oh, Lord!
Please Work On Me!
Please Work With Me!
Please Work Through Me!
Please Work For Me!
Please Work By Me ... Forever!

The One Thing I Would Correct About That Prayer
Is The Line Which Says:


Please Work With Me!

Why Would You Correct That Line!?!

Simple:

If The Lord Is Working With Us 
To Help Us To Avail Ourselves Of His Blessings
And
We Do Not Cooperate With Him
We Achieve Nothing!

I Get Your Point
So I Would Now Pray, Saying:


Dear Lord,
Please Help Me To Work With You
And
Please Help Me
To Energetically Utilize
My Daily Gift Of Faith
And
To Wholly, Enduringly
Cooperate With You
To The Saving Of My Purchased Soul
And
To Bless Others
In Jesus Christ's Matchless, Holy, Name!

AMEN!!!

PITYING LOVE: Godly Fear





Okay, Brethren!
Let's Quiet Down!
Today We Are Looking At Pity!
Pity As Is Found In Psalm 103:13
Where Our Lord ... Our God Holy ... Eternal
Is 

Likened Unto A Father
And 

We Are Likened Unto Beloved  Children!

In The Midst Of The God Of Heaven And Earth Pitying Us
We See That Word!

Fear!?!

Fear!

What's Wrong With Fear!?!
Fear Is A Good Thing, Isn't It!?!

That Would Depend On Whether Your Fear Is Godly Or Ungodly!
Godly Fear Is A Blessing!
A Desirable Trait!
A Great Benefit!

Ungodly Fear Is A Sin ...!

... And Sin Is The Transgression Of
Almighty God's Holy Law!


Indeed!
For Our Purposes Here
We Will Look At Proverbs 9:10:



And


And Then
We Shall Abide In The Fact That
Our God's Pity For Us
Awakened ... Awakens His Compassion For Us
And
His Love For Us Caused 
Causes Him To Work To Save Us
To Help Us To Accept His Gift Of Purchased Salvation!

Eureka!
I Believe That I've Got It!

Say On, My Brother!

Pitying Love Works To Save Us
Soooo, Our Godly Fear Should Result In
Our Working To Help Save Ourselves
By Accepting Who Almighty God
Acknowledging What He Has Done And Is Doing For Us
And Gratefully Honoring, Worshiping, Praising
Thanking, Blessing, Obeying
And Having Enduring Faith In This Great God Of Ours!

Well Said, Brother! Well Said!
Does Anyone Else Have Something To Add To This!?!

All I Can Add Is This:

Godly Fear Is Faithful Cooperation
With The Lord Christ
In Working Out Our Own's Soul's Salvation ...!

... With Godly Fear Aka Awe At His Majesty And Power
And Hopeful Aka Expectant Trembling
At Having Him Always In Our Hearts
And Finally Holding The Gift In Our Hands

AMEN!!!

Class Dismissed!

That Was Amazing!

I Agree!
We Have The God Of Glory On Our Side!
So What Do We Then Say!?!


If God Be For Us 
Who Can Be Against Us!?!


Brethren,

Ungodly Fear Is Not For The Children
The People Of God
Because
We Know That The Lord's Pity
The Lord's Compassion Toward Us
Is All-Encompassing
And 
Incapable Of Falling Short Or Failing!
Believe And Live!

Pitying Love Is Pure And Providential
And
Godly Fear Causes Us Faithful
To Faithfully Endure!

Our Hope
Our Faith
Shall Become Sight
So Godly Fear For Us
Should Be A Personal Delight!

AMEN!!!

NEW HEART: Only Jesus Christ Can Turn The Tide Of Sin!

So, Where Can You Go
To Find Truth, Love, Faith, Righteousness
Blessing, Goodness And Sweet Peace!?!

Oh, That's A Real Easy Question!

So, Are You Going To Answer It!?!

Oh, Sorry!
The Answer Is The Arms Of Christ Jesus
That Bread Of Life
Upon Whom We May Eagerly Feast!

His Word Is Truth!

His Love Is Pure!

Jesus Christ Is The Rock Of Our Salvation
And
He Is The Open Door
To The Kingdom Of Light, Love
Blessing, Peace And Rest
And
In His Presence
- Following His Lead -
We May All Become The Spiritual Success!
To Him, We Have Direct Access!

Jesus Christ Is Our High Priest!
He Is Our Only Savior!
He Is Our Only Intercessor!

He Is Our True Example Of How To Live
And
He Shows Us Also How And What To Give
To Those Who Have Needs
- Not Those Selfish, Self-Serving Wants -
Those Things That Bless The Heart
And
Glorify The Lord!

You Know, When I Think Of The Lord Christ
He Who Is My Personal Savior And Lord
I Am Blessed And Glad To Say It:

Thank God For Jesus!
Thank God For As The Faithful Lover Of My Soul
He Is Not ... Nor Cannot Ever Be
Anything Akin To The Unholy God-Fraud
Satan, The Wannabe God!

Jesus Christ Was Humble!
Jesus Christ Speaks Truth!
Jesus Christ Communed Constantly With His Father
And
Desires That We Commune Constantly With Him, Too!

We Are Called To Be Kind!
We Are Called To Be Just!
We Are Called To Be Giving
And
As Hard As It May Seem
Willingly Forgiving Of Those Who Have Falsely Accused Us
Unkindly Done Us Wrong
Those Who Have Besmirched Our Character
And
Have Viciously, Cruelly, Sought To Put Us Down
Because
We Look Up To Jesus
We Look Down Upon Sin
We Walk Enduringly To Hill Zion
And
We Turn Away From Satan
Who Would Have Us Precariously Perched
On The Rotten, Broken, Falling
High Chair Of Cherished, Known, Sin!

With The Lord Jesus As Our Captain
We Have No Choice But To Be Spiritually Renewed!

We Have To Turn Away From All That Defiles
And
We Have To Live Under The Umbrella Of Eternal Truth!

We Must Be Kind To All!
We Must Be Satellites Of None!
We Must Do As Jesus Christ Did
And
We Must Never, Ever, Worship The Elemental Sun!

We Are Not To Hold Up A Person Nor A Creature As God
And
We Are Not To Denigrate Nor Lay Down Any Human As Sod!

We Are To Bless And Not Curse!

We Are To Live Holy And Pure
And
Tell Others Of The Sin Cure
And
We Are To Do All That We Can
While We Can ... Where We Can
To Point Others To The God Who, Alone, Saves
The God Who, Alone, With Our Personal Permission
Removes Us ... By Our Willing Cooperation
From Being Sin's Body-Slaves!

What A Friend Is This Christ Jesus!
What A Lord Of All ... No Fraud!
What A King ... Good And Holy!
What A Shepherd ... Kind And Caring!
What A Master ... Benevolent!

Brethren,

There Is No Other Called God
That Will Ever Replace My Jesus
Who Is The One God
Who Keeps His Children On The Incline
To Rise Above Sin
To Be Better
To Do Better

To Rise Up To Glory
And
To Follow The Law Of Love Given By Our Holy God
Who Lives In Highest Heaven Above!

Jesus Christ Saves The Soul!

Jesus Christ Makes It Possible
For Us To Have Being In His Presence
As Our True Home Goal!

Jesus Christ Blesses 
And
He Desires That All Should Repent Of Known Sin
And
Be Forever Saved
But
He Will Never Force Us To Comply
Because
He Is The God Of Love!
He Is The Holy God Who Can Never Lie!

He Is The Creator God
The One Who Created The Heavens
The Earth
The Seas
The Fountains Of Water
The One God 
Who Painted The Beautiful Covenant Rainbow
In The Bright Blue Sky!

Jesus Christ Is Holy Love
And
There Is None Living
Who Can That Precious Truth Deny!

Brethren,

Abominations Are In The Land!
Sigh And Cry!
Sigh ... And Cry!

Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon
And
The Enduring Faithful Will ... With Him,
To The Eternal Kingdom Of Light
Fly
To Enjoy His Eternal Gift Of Eternal Life!

In His Kingdom
There Is No Night!

In His Kingdom
There Is Eternal Delight!

I Can't Wait For That  Flight!
