Choose Life ... And Blessings!



Provocations And Enticements Aside
We Always Have A Free-Will Choice! 

By The Word Of Man You Would Be Dead! 
By The Will Of Almighty God You Are Alive! 

The Word Of God Creates! 
The Will Of Man Decimates! 

The Word Of God Illuminates! 
The Word Of Man Enervates! 

The Word Of God Satiates! 
The Word Of Man Obfuscates! 

The Will And Way Of God Elevates! 
The Will And Ways Of Man Tittilate! 

With Whom, And For What, Will You Stand!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have This Choice: 
Exercise Faith In The Living Word Of The Eternal God 
Or Indulge Doubt Concerning 
The Eternal God's Ability To "Back-Up His Mouth!" 
Aka Do Exactly As He Has Promised! 

With Regard To Ourselves
Are We Being Faithful To Our Promises To Our Dear Savior!?! 

Do You Understand And Accept That 
Giving Your Word To The Lord 
And
Standing Upon This Word 
Through The Gift Of Faith Daily Given To You To Help You 
Is
Your Only Safeguard Against Descending Into Doubt And Despair 
Which Are Lively Tools Of Satan!?! 

We Will Make Mistakes 
But
We Have An High Priest Who Feels 
And 
Understands What We Go Through 
And
Provides Help To Us In The Person Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Comforts, Guides, And Corrects Us 
And
Sets Us On Straight Paths! 

You Need Help!?! 

Ask For Help 
And
Reach For The Hand That Brings Hope, Help 
And 
Healing! 

You Need Rest!?! 

Reach For Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
Jesus Christ The King
In Whom Is Rest And Refreshing! 

Choose Love! 
Choose Life! 
Choose The Lord! 

Peace!

Behold Your God!

Behold Your God, Brethren!
He Is Gracious And Merciful!
His Coming To Earth Again!
He Is Bringing His Rewards With Him
And
Lest You Forget
His Work Is Before Him:
His Strange Work!

Exactly What Do You Mean By
"His Strange Work!?!"

Who Is Our God!?!

He Is The Life-Giver!

What Is Our God!?!

He's The Jealous God!

What's He Jealous For Or About!?!

He's Jealous For His Name
His Glory Aka His Character
His Worship
His Praise
And
He Will Not Share What Is His With Another!

I Don't See Anything Strange About That!
Where's The Strange Part!?!

He's Coming To Clean House!
He's Going To Fix 
- Glorify, Immortalize And Make Incorruptible -
And
Retrieve
The Wittingly, Willingly, Wisely
Fallen-On-The-Rock And Broken Faithful
And
He Is Going To Destroy
The Proud, Presumptuous
And
Willingly Sinful Ungodly!

He Is Life
And
It Is Not His Will That Anyone Should Be
To The Eternal Kingdom, Lost!
The Work Of Destruction
Is
The Strange Work!

Forget That!
Tell Me Why Would Anyone Choose To Be Lost!?!

Ah, My Young Friend!
You Have Glommed On 
To The Crux Of The Matter: CHOICE!

Everything That Pertains To Soul Salvation
Is
A Choice!
Everything That Pertains To Soul Damnation
Is 
A Choice!


So What About If I Don't Decide To Make A Choice!?!

That's Not Going To Work In Your Favor!

Huh!?! How So!?!

No Choice Is A Choice
Because
If You Do Not Choose Life
- Stating Clearly Your Position For Life -
You Have Made Your Position Clear That
You Do Not Value:
  • The Life You Have
  • The Life Promised To Believers
  • The Life-Giver
  • The Promise Purchased With Innocent Blood


What You're Actually Saying Is That
The Lover Of Your Soul
Your Creator, Savior
Your Redeemer, Friend
Does Not Have ... The Power
And
You're Going To "Trust" Your Future
To Whatever Is ... Out There!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Let Me Correct Myself!
We Already Know What Is Out There:
  • Eternal Life Or Eternal Death
  • Jesus Christ Or Satan
  • Blessing Or Cursing
  • Truth Or Error
  • Light Or Darkness
  • Confess And Repent Or Hide And Presume
  • The Narrow Way Or The Broad Way
  • Trust And Obey Or Distrust And Disobey
  • Believe And Live Or Disbelieve And Die
  • Hope And Glory Or Doubt And Destruction


Those Are Some Serious Options!

As You Can Clearly See
Everything In This Life
Is
Either-Or!
It Is Never
- Nor Will It Ever Be -
Either, Or, Or Or! 

There Are Only Two Positions! 

You're Either With The Lord And Against Satan
Or
You're With Satan And Against God!

If You Don't Say You Position
You've Made Your Decision!

So That's Why The Bible Says That
We Must Confess That Christ Is Lord!

You Only Confess What You Believe To Be Truth Or True!
If You Can't Or Won't Say It
It's Because You Don't Believe It
And
The Lord Has Nothing For Doubters!

Wow!
There Is No Neutrality In The Kingdom Of God!

You've Got It In One!

You Know ... I Like That!
I Really Like That!
It Tells Me Plainly That
We Can Depend On Our Almighty God!

Indeed!
Strong Position, Unshakeable, Firm
Same Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
He Is The Rock, Never A Worm!

So, Brethren,
How Will You Stand!?!
How Do You Stand!?! 

Will You Look Up To The Lord Christ And Live
Or
Will You Roll With The Changeable Tide
And
On The Broken Barge Delay And Decay
Take The Journey To Destruction
Because
For Your Own Soul's Salvation
You Did Not Care Enough To Choose
Christ's Glory To Share!?!

If You Believe The Word Of God Is True
Preserve Your Integrity
And
Send Your Word To Your God, Holy
As You Stand Up To Be Counted For Jesus Christ The Lord!
There Will Be Precious, Everlasting, Rewards
For The Faithful, Enduring-All Child Of 
The Holy God!

The True Watchers Are Writing ...!




Don't Be Presumptuous!
Heed The Heaven-Sent Warnings That You Get!
Don't Let Power
Pride
AND
Pride Of Placement
- Like Nebuchadnezzar Of Old -
Cause You To Utter Words
That Should Be Best Left Unsaid
For
The True Watchers Are Writing
AND
At The Command Of The Holy God
They Will Utter You-Don't-Want-It Judgment
On Your Exposed Inflated Head!

Weapons Are For War
AND
Words Are Weapons
Even Those Words That You, Yourself, Utter
In Shameless Praise Of Some Big Small Thing
You Did Do Are Doing
While Boldly Ignoring The God Of Heaven
Who Does Everything For Me And For You!
You May Want To Do That Thing Called Stopping!

Do Yourself A Big Favor
AND
Of The Great Babylonian King
Carefully Take Note
That
  • Dream Comes
  • Spirit Becomes Distressed
  • Interpretation Is Sought
  • Interpretation Is Revealed
  • Caution Is Plainly Given
  • PLUS A Spelled-Out Comfort For Heeding
  • Heart Is Set At Ease ... By Passage Of Time
Until ...

That Glad Morning
When You Think Yourself ... Divine
AND
The God Of Heaven
- Whilst The Words Are Still Truly Tasty In Your Big Mouth -
Turns Your Lofty Pride To Ashes
AND
All Your Good Things Formerly Headed North
Suddenly Fall Sharply South
AND
You Find Yourself
Eating Crow AKA Grass
AND
Crawling On Bird-Clawed All-Fours
With Wildly Growing Hair Long Like Feathers
Covering The Mold 
From Which Your Customized Gold Chair Was Cast!

The Caution Given Was:

Put Off
YOUR Sins
By Righteousness
"To Lengthen Your Tranquility!"


Right Living Is A Virtue!
Sin Is A Reproach!
AND
Sorry Is Not Necessary
If You Don't Run Around Smelling
From Playing Wid De Ole Wild Goat!

The Lord Does Nothing
Without Telling His Servants The Prophets
AND
I Do Not Mean
Those Nuisances
The Prophets That Profit!
Be Ye Warned!

Keep Truth ... In Your Inward Parts!
AND
Keep Lust ... Outside Your Heart's Door
Because
If Lust Should Get Away In There
There Will Be Unwanted Hell
To Pay!

Do You Hear
Understand
Accept
Appreciate
Get
What It Is That I Say?!

Well ...

If You Do
Say A Prayer
Do A Good For A Sister Brother
AND
Have A Blessed Day
For
Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man
AND
Like It Or Not
Neither One Of Us May Have Another!

Decisions Must Be Made!




Satan Exerts Influence Over People
He Darkens The Mind
AND
Incites Men Women And Children
To Do Violence
AND
To Commit Base Crimes!

Jesus Christ Exerts Influence Over The People!
He Enlightens

ANDEnlivens
The Mind!
He Impresses All Who Will

To Do Good Works
AND
To Brethren
To Be A Blessing 
AND
To Be Ever Kind!

Here, Brethren
Are Two Princes
First,
The Prince Of Darkness
The Destroyer Of Body And Soul!
Second,
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Life
AND
Keeps Mankind Alive
AND
Now
I Sincerely Ask You
Which Prince
Would You
Do You
Should You
Want
Even Need
To Be By Your Side?!

The Prince Of Darkness
Has A Need
To Build An Army Of Opposition
Against The Holy God
AND
His Method Of Recruitment
Is To Offer Paid Access To

Excitment
Influence
Finance

Recognition
Associative
Emotional 

Dangerous
Destructive
Selfish
Self-Satisfying
Mind-Bending
Cross-Contaminating
Infectious
AND
Ever Only Temporal

So-Called Enormous Yet Trifling
Pretty And False Shining

AND
Dying - Like Himself -
Awards And Rewards!

The Prince Of Peace
- By Great Contrast -
Offers Unto Mankind
Life In Christ Now
AND
Eternal Life With Christ Later
For Being Of Service To Humanity
In The Service Of The Living Holy Ever-Present
He Knows It All 

Can Do It All
Provides It All
God!

In Their Service To Their King
AND
Master
Self-Denial
Is In Part How They Live
AND
Look
Not Given To Displays
Of Gratuitous Acquisition
AND
For Them
Denying Self Is In Answer
To The Lusts Of Manly Living -
They Don't Live In The Land Of

I Want What My Eyes Continually See!

Kindness
Helpfulness
Caring
Sharing
Are Motivations For Each And Every Day
AND
Lest We Forget
That Darkness Hates Peace
They Engender The Acrimony
Of Darkman's Soldiers Elite
Who
Of The Living God
Apparently ... Have No Fear!!

Hatred From The World!
Peace In The Lord!
Comfort Of The Holy Spirit!
Protection From The Fraud!
Mercy! Salvation!
Forgiveness Of Sin!
Hope For Surpassing Glory!
Redemption At The Prince Of Peace's Earthly Returning!
Are Gifts To The Saints Of The Holy God!
Gifts From The Prince Of Peace!

So, What ...!?

The Service
For The Prince Of Peace
Requires Personal Sacrifice
A Thing Foreign To The Prince Of Darkness
Who Demands Sacrifice From Others
Often Even Sacrifice Of Life!

Those In The Service
Of The Prince Of Peace Know
That He Is The Great Exemplar
For
He Gave His Own Life
For All Mankind On The Cross
After
Suffering The Prince Of Darkness'
Most Dreadful Temptations!

I Can Almost Hear The Wicker One's Laughter!

Between Temptation
AND
Crucifixion
Was Where The Prince Of Peace
Healed
Taught
AND
Fed
The Multitudes
Oppressed
Tormented
Possessed
Oppressed
By The Miasma Of The Prince Of Darkness!

He Raised The Dead!
He Restored Sight To The Blind!
He Took The People Out Of The Darkness
AND
Stood Them Up
In The Light Of Life
AND
For Good Measure
Gave Them Of Eternity
A Real View
AND
Encouraged Them
To Reach For The Extended Sheltering

Comforting Healing Hand
To Hold It

To Hold On To It -
That Offer Is Extended
To Me And To You!

But ... 

There Is A Small Price
To Be Paid
By One
By All

Who Will To The Prince Of Peace Cling:

Forsake Sin!
Forsake The Devil!
Forsake The World!
Confess Sin!
Repent Of The Past
AND
Reach Out To Jesus
AND

For Dear Life 
To His Outstretched Hand
Unabashedly Cling!
By His Great Grace ... You Can!

One Cannot Be Double-Minded
Holding Darkness And Light
For
Therein Is Confusion
AND
Assuredly
Soul Blight!

So ...

It Comes Down To The Decision!
Upon Which Side Will You Call
Fall?
  • Truth 
  • Error
  • Darkness 
  • Light
  • Temporal Prosperity
  • Eternal Prosperity
  • Goodness With Denial
  • Fleeting Things And A Damnation Trial
  • Everlasting Life
  • Eternal Separation From God
  • Feelings Over Facts 
  • Destructible Things Now 
  • Indestructible Things Later?
You Make The Order!
Sacrifice Now?

Or
Sacrifice Later?


Decisions Must Be Made!
No Dice Rolling!
No Heads!

No Tails!
Conscious Decision-Making
Makes Really High The Stakes!

I Chose!
I Choose ...

Jesus For Joy - The Prince Who Is Peace!
I Emphatically Deny The Liar
The Prince Of Darkness
The Salvation Thief!

In Jesus Christ
I Have Found
My Soul's Chief
My Heart's Peace
My Body's Relief!

HAPPY SABBATH + FARMLAND: The Sower And The Seed




The Planter
Cast His Seed Abroad
Thinking Ahead
To The Day Of Harvest
When He Would Fill
His Barns To The Full
AND
Then Rejoice At
The End Of Harvest Celebration
Which Will His Heart Thrill!

He Said In His Heart
As He Planted Near
AND
He Planted Far:

My Seed Is Good!
My Ground Is Well Tilled
And At The Appointed Time
The Reapers
Will My Waiting Barns Fill!

The Seed Fell
On The Wayside
On Stony Ground
Among Weeds
AND
The Seed Fell On Good Ground -
All Areas
Got The Seed!

The Seed On The Wayside
The Birds Of The Air 
Picked It Up!

The Seed On The Stony Ground
Sprouted
BUT
With No Root
Soon Died ... Shriveled Up!

The Seed Among The Weeds
Grew
BUT
Were By The Weeds Of Life Choked!

BUT ...

The Seed
Which Fell On Good Ground
Grew All Out
AND
The Planter
At The Harvest Celebration
Was Able To Shout:

Not A Thing
Was Wrong With My Seed!
Sixty
An Hundred Fold
On The Good Ground
My Seed Did Yield!

The Point To This Missive
All Christians
Should Take Hold
Else
In The Great Day
For Your Own Sin
You Will Pay!

All People On The Whole Earth
Will Hear The Good News!
Don't Let The Devil - The Birds
The Weeds -  The Love Of This Life
The Stony Ground - No Roots
Prevent You
From Being Good Ground
Ready To Receive
Able To Believe
Harvest Time To Achieve!

There Is Not A Thing Wrong
With The Preserved Word Of The Lord!
The Problem Lies Within Us
The Ground Called The Heart
Within Which It Is Received!

Some People Choose To Be Satan's!
Some People Want To Elevate Self!
Some People Choose To Be The Savior's
AND
Some People Want To Recline 
On Life's What-Not Shelf!

The Problem  . . .

With The Idea Of Self
AND
Shelf, Though
Is Greatly Problematic
For With Jesus Christ
The Living 
The Holy
The Eternal God
There Are Only Two Classes
No Matter What Says The Fraud:

By Decision
Nothing Automatic
It Is Either
For
OR
Against Jesus Christ!
Not A Position Is Static
AND
Your Willed Way Makes The Decision
Dynamic!

All Trees Grow
BUT
All Trees Don't Fruit Bear
AND
In The Kingdom Of God
Unprofitable Fruit Trees
Essentially Ensure That
Fire Wood Is Not Scarce!

So ...

Think For Your Self!
Reason With The Living God!
Make An Informed Decision
For 
OR 
Against Life
AND
Bear Your Own Consequences 
At The End Of Life's Strife!


Force Is Not A Factor
When Dealing With 
The Living God!

Force Has Not Faith
And
The Fraud Cannot Make You
His Will
Obey!

Just Remember
That Almighty God Tells All
In Advance
So That We Know
The Salary
That Disobedience Pays!

We Know The Gifts Of Obedience
AND
We Know The Cost Of Disobedience
BUT
Never Will The God Of All
Break Your Resistance!

Choice ... Your Owner Is Man!

HAPPY SABBATH + ONE MOMENT IN TIME: The Choice







God Gave Unto Man
Two Gardens
Two Gardens Which Ended Up Bearing 
But Bearing Opposite Fruit!
One Was The Garden Of Obedience
And
The Other The Garden Of Disobedience!

That Is A Stupid Statement To Make!

Hold Your Horses
And I Will My Case Make!

Neither Garden Started Out With Those Names!
Neither Garden Knew Of Their Eternal Fame!
Each
Was Impacted By A Man!
Each Man
With A Choice
AND
An Outstretched Hand!

In The Beginning
The Creator God
Created A Garden Eastward In Eden
Called The Garden Of God
In Which He Placed
A Perfect Tender Called Man
AND
Gave Him The Prohibition:

See That Fruit Tree In The Garden's Midst?
It Is To Your Soul Deadly!
Don't Stretch Out Your Hand!


Time Passed
And At The Marker Of The Days
When The Creator God
Would Show Men
How Not To Become Sin's Slaves
There Was The Garden
Gethsemane Called
Where The Originator Of Sin
Taunted The Christ
With The Enormity Of The Sin Of
The Men Of The Fall
Sin Moving As Marauding Lice
AND
That Worthy One
On A Mission From The Father God
In The Agony Of His Sinless Soul
Asked:

Father,  Must I Drink The Full Of This Bowl?

And Then 
Honoring His Father
By Holy Faith
With Humility
In Graceful Obedience
To His Father
Added Softly Steadily And Firmly:

Not My Will, Father
But Thy Will To Me!
By My Obedience, Father
I Shall Return The Lost Children To Thee!


In Eden
Satan Preyed
AND
The Prohibition
Adam Quickly Disobeyed!

In Gethsemane
Satan Preyed
AND
Jesus Christ Prayed
AND
The Holy Commission Obeyed!

In Eden
One Counted Not The Costs
AND
Caused Enormous Loss!

In Gethsemane
One Counted His Costs
AND
Decided That God's Creation Was Worth The Cost
To Have The Chance Not To Be Eternally Lost!

One Garden Began With Life
BUT
Brought Forth Death!

One Garden Caused
The Contemplation Of Death
AND
Bought Life!

It Is Now
Today
AND
Every Man
Must Make His Choice!
Eden Or Gethsemane?
Disobey Or Obey?
Hear The Voice!
BUT ... 
Which Voice?!
What Choice?!

Each Man Has Will!
Each Man Has Way!
Each Man Has Decision
On How His Life He Will Play!

God Says To Man:


The Way To Life
Is Written Plainly In Stone!
Choose The Blessing!
Choose The Cursing!
The Decision Is All Your Own
But Know
That In The Day Of Strife
There Is No Reversing!
Do Not Stake Your Life
On A Future Repentance!
Tomorrow Is Not Yours!
Today Is Acceptable
For This Moment Is Definitely Yours!

If Ye Love  Me
Keep My Commandments!

To Walk Right
Keep Me Ever In Your Sight!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised Today
But
Eternity Is Yours
If You Shall Walk By Faith
In Obedience
And
Do As I Say!

I Take It Back!
What You Have Said Is True!
The Gardens Of Decision
Are There For Me And For You
And By God's Grace
I Am Daily Walking
In The Garden Of Obedience!

When Blessings Curse! + PRAYER: Make Me Chaste!


Elisha  Was To Gehazi A Blessing
But He Turned 
And Did Gehazi Mortally Curse!

This Situation Is Not Peculiar
AND
It Is Not To Mankind A Pioneering First!

David Had The Lord's Blessing
But His Eye Caused His Blessing 
To Work For Him A Curse!

BUT ...

The Man After God's Own Heart
Repented of His Sin
After Lusting After and Laying With What Was Not His!

David Lied 
AND
An Innocent Man Was Murdered
AND
An Innocent Child Died
BUT
By His Deep Shame and Remorse
His Blessing-Turned-To-Curse
Was By The Blessing-God
Reversed!

A Blessing Is Not To Be Taken Lightly!
One Must Examine From Whence It To One Came!

A Lightly-Esteemed Blessing From God
Will Be Besmirched By The Fraud
When Our Consuming Greed 
Insists
That We Are Entitled To Have More
Because: 

"We Are Truly Blessed Of Almighty God!"

and

"We're Too Blessed To Be Stressed!"

God Blesses!
God Curses!
God Blesses and Curses
AND
God Has Set Before Man
The Blessing
AND
The Curse!

So ....

Don't Play The Arrogant and Entitled Fool!
Don't Let Yourself Be To Satan A Ready Tool
For
God's Wrath Will Leave
You Bothered And Hot
AND
That,  My Friend
Is Really, Really, Not Pleasant
Nor Close To Being Cool!



NOTE TO SELF:

Receiving 
A "Blessing" 
From An Accursed Source
Is Not A Blessing!

Its Receipt Will Cause You, Too, To Be Accursed!

Look Upon Those 
Who Have Been "Blessed" By
"Lady Luck"
and
Have Received 
Reams and Streams of Big Bucks
Only To Find Themselves


Holding A Pack of Inedible Nuts!

The Living God's Blessings 
Appear Trivial
and
Insignificant
To This Dying World!

Ignore The World's Baleful Benedictions!

Hold On To God!

God's Blessings
On The Faithful 
are
Beneficial
and
Infinite!

N.B.: What The World Means To Us For A Curse
Becomes A Blessing In The Hands Of The Child Of God!


PRAYER:

Father,
Make Me Chaste
and
Cleanse This Life
Of The Gross Greed Within!
Bless Me, Lord
For I Have The Need
and
I Beseech You
To Help Me
To Keep My Hand In Yours
So That In The Great Day
You Will Take Me Safely Home
To 
Heaven's Blissful
Peaceful Shores!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN
