CONDITIONED: Breaking Bad!






Salvation 
Is 
About Breaking Bad ... Getting Sin Out
And 
Getting Jesus Christ ... Our Hope For Glory
Into Our Heart For Keeps! 

Have You Ever Found Yourself 
Doing The "Thing" You Hate Doing 
And 
Then Realizing That You're Doing It 
Because 
It Is Familiar Like A Broken-In Pair Of Shoes
An Old Broom That Knows All The Corners
The Pillow That Knows Your Head
That Rut In The Road That Your Tire Always Finds
Or That Itch That You Scratch 
Because 
Your Mind Says That It Will Itch!?! 

Are You Being ... Or Have You Been ... Conditioned 
To Default To "Sin Now!" Instead Of "Pray Now!" 
By Allowing Satan To Encourage You To Believe That 
Sin Is You And Sinning Is All That You Will Do!?! 

Satan Is The Liar! 

We Were Born In Sin 
And 
Shaped In Iniquity Aka Planned Sin 
But
We Do Not Have To Live That Way! 

We Will Be Tempted To Sin 
But
The Lord Will Provide For Us A Sure Way Of Escape! 

Jesus Is Near: 
Choose To Be Aware! 

Sin Cannot Satisfy: 
Don't Fall For Sophisticated Lies! 

Choose To Look Up High: 
See To It That You Do The Devil Defy, Deny 
And
Take Christ's Salvation Full And Free
And 
At The Day Appointed 
Sing With Saints And Angels Most Joyfully! 

Break Bad: 
Mix Unceasing Praying
Faithful Endurance
Willing Obedience
And 
Doing Right 
For The Godly Life! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ, The King Of Love, Loves You Best!






All Who Choose
To Walk Under The Banner Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Will Face Three Adversaries: 

The Enemy Within Aka Your Self
The Enemy Within The Household
And 
The Enemies Outside The Household 

And

All Three Enemies 
Are Agents Of Or Are Used By Satan 
With The Sole Purpose Of
Severing Our Connection With Our Maker 
And Thereby
Render Us Unfit To Enter The Glorious Kingdom! 

Beloved, 

Guard Your Heart! 
Jealously Guard The Time You Spend With The Lord 
Whether It Is Singing
Praying
Enjoying A Companionable Silence
Listening To The Still Small Voice Of The Holy Spirit
Asking For Blessing
Exercising Faith For The Earthly-Impossible
Trusting The Lord 
Because 
He Is The Almighty God
Or 
Just Waiting On The Lord With Faithful Endurance! 

Please Let Us Remember Always That
The Lord Is For His People
And 
Never, Ever, Forget That Whatever Trial 
Or Setback
Or Temptation We Face
The Lord Whom We Follow 
Will Lead Us Safely To The Expected End That 
He ... In His Infinite Wisdom ... Has Determined! 

Please Let The Lord Lead! 
Please Follow Faithfully Where The Lord Leads 
And 
Dare ...By Faith
To Leave The Outcome In His Loving Arms! 

The Truth Is ... 

Someone May Say They Love You 
But 
The Lord Of Life
Our Jesus Blessed Forever
Eternally Loves You The Absolute Best: 
Do Not Ever Doubt His Personal Holy Love For You! 



Peace With The King Of Love
Is
Forever Free!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Joyously Disappoint The Devil!

Body Healthy
Spirit Pure
We Must Deny The Liar His Pleasures
If 
We Will Walk Through Heaven's Gate Door!

We Must Disappoint The Murderer Proud
And
We Must Be Bold And Loud!
We Must Stand Up For Truth And Righteousness 
And
We Must Not Indulge In Controversies Crude And Pointless!

We Are To Believe And Endure
Because
Jesus Christ, To Us, Is Health And Cure
And
We Are To Walk Wise
Watch And Ever Prayer
If 
We Are Not From The Straight Path To Stray!

We Are To Trust And Not Doubt!
We Have The Lord's Promise:
Do Not Cast It Out!
We Are To Tell The Good News
Indulging No Disputing With Those Who 
The Straight Truth Of The Eternal Word
Bluntly, Carelessly, Reject ... Refuse!

The Way Is Straight, Strait!
The Road Is Rough, Hard!
The Savior Who Walks With Us
Is 
Waiting For Us:
Brethren, Beloved
Our Savior Is The Son Of God
Prince Immanuel
The Ever-Living Good And Kind King!
He Is No God-Fraud!

Heavenly Rewards: Peace And Rest!
Heavenly Reward: No Sorrow On Your Chest!
Heavenly Reward: You Are By The King Of Love Blessed!

Look Up: Our Redemption Draws Near!
Look Up: Do Not Fear!
Look Up: Get Ready!
Prepare To Be Blessed!
Look Up And Walk On:
Your Firm Faith Will Permit You To Pass
The To-Eternal-Life Test!
In The Love Of The Lord Christ
Safely Protected, Rest! 


THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD:



Pin on Scriptures

When Your Lord Is Your Creator 
And 
Your Creator Is Your Rock, Your Fortress
And 
Your Deliverer
You Have Every Reason To Give Him Thanks
And
Sing His Praises 
For Your Deliverance From All Your Enemies: 
Sin, Self, Satan
Death, Hell And The Cold Grave! 

Beloved, 

This Is Not The Time To Look At What Ails, What Assails! 
It Is Time To Look Up To Him 
Who Helps, Heals, Saves And Seals
To Him Who Has Prevailed Against 
The Enemy Of Our Souls, Satan
Who Encourages All To Indulge Doubt And Disbelief 
So That We Will Stand On Sinking Sand
Depart The Fortress
Deny Our Creator
And 
Lose Our Deliverance From Damning Darkness 
And 
Our Delivery To The Land Of The Kindly Light That 
Gives Eternal Life! 

Praise The Lord At All Times
Pray The Precious Promises 
And
By Willing Obedience
Live In Peace: Our Redemption 
Is 
Truly Drawing Near! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget:
Our Heavenly Father, For Each Of Us
Sacrificially, Personally, Privately
Intimately Cares! 
Pass The Word Along
And
In Him, Be Strong!

PINS: Sin And Spin

Do We All Have Our Identification Numbers!?!

Yes, Ma'am!!!

Very Good!
Please Keep Your Identification Card Handy
And
The Number Visible!
You Will Be Challenged When You Least Expect It!

Grumble, Grumble, Grumble!

What Was That Comment!?!
I Didn't Catch What You Were Saying!

Oh, Sorry, Ma'am!
I Was Just Saying That
I Wished That Satan Had 
His Own Identification Number  
So That We Could Challenge Him!

True!

Indeed! We Could Really Challenge Him Then!

Class! Class! 
Please Return To Your Seats For A Moment!

Oh, Man! I Thought We Were About To Leave!?!

We Are, But This Is Very Important!
Please Pay Attention, Careful Attention
To What I'm Going To Say:

Satan's Identification Number
Is
A Little, Bitty, Thing Called SIN!
It Attracts The Rich And The Poor
And
Get's Promulgated By sPin!

The "P" in sPin Is For Person
The Me
The You
The They
Who Consider Sin A Trivial Thing
Calling It Games Play!

But

When You Ignore Sin
And
Indulge sPin
You Will Notice Sin, Spin
And
Become Pins
Upon The Points Of Which
You Walk, Sit, And Lie
And
You Lie To Yourself About
The Origin Of Your Pain ... Your Fall
Your Character Stain
And, Then In Agony
You Cry And Cry
And
Truth, Deny
And
Woefully Willful
And
Unwisely Wandering
Your God, Giving You Grace
You Disgracefully Defy!

So How Do You Overcome This!?!

Stop!
Think!
Turn!
And
Testify!

Wow!
It Can't Be That Easy, Can It!

Oh, But It Is
And 
Because It Is That Easy
Very Many People Least Count The Gospel Of Grace
And  
Trapped, Trip ...!

...And Fall Flat On Their Faces!


Let's Look At Galatians 5:16-17!





It Has Very Telling Information To Impart To Us!

The Easy Way To Live Is To Say That The Spirit Is Willing
But
The Flesh Is Weak
And
Continue On Smartly Aka Foolishly
Living In Known, Yet Despised, Sin!

He Who Willfully Sins, Never Wins ...!

... And Will Never Wear The Crown!

No Cross, No Crown!

Indeed!
We Are Called To Take Up Our Cross Daily
To Follow The Lord 
To Do The Good And The Right
And
To Rid Our Selves Of The Rust Of Sin
By The Holy Spirit's Leading
Teaching, Guiding, And Chiding!

The Way Of The Cross Is,

Father,
I See My Need
And 
Only You Can Help Me! 
I Cannot Overcome My Sin On My Own
So, Please, Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit
Upon This Sinful Flesh
And Strengthen Me
To Do Your Will
And To Please You
In Every Way, Today! 
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Pray And Humbly Plead! 
AMEN.



When We Trust The Living Word
We Shall Be Blessed
And
With Faithful Endurance Unto Life's Journey's End
Then Eternally Blessed!

Commitment To Christ Is Key!

Grace And Mercy
Are Available To Me And Thee
And 
Almighty God's Forgiveness 
Does Not Require A User Fee!

Jesus Christ Paid It All!

Sin Is The Charge Account With Usurious Fees
And
Only The Lord Christ Can Change Us
Can Set Us Free Indeed
And
Get Us Home Safely
To The Glorious Heavenlies!

Satan's Journey To Joy Over Us
Is 
A Bust
When We In The Living Word Of Absolute Truth
Totally, Totally, Trust!
Onward And Upward, People!
Let's Leave Satan In The Dust!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Yes, It Is All Jesus!







They Stood Before The Master
Nothing Could Turn Them Back
They Were Standing In The Holy Faith
And
Because Of Their Faith In His Sacrifice For Them
They Will Withstand Any Of Satan's 
Unmerciful, Cruel, Bold Attacks!

These Three Were Not Popular Amongst The Populace
Because
They Chose To Enjoy Heavenly Grace
And
Live The Life Completely Committed To Christ
Even Though It Opened Them Up 
To The Machinations Of That Demon Not Nice!

They Were Simple, Humble, Kind And True
Giving Of Their Best
Even If It Meant Walking About In Last Year's Shoes
So That Some Dear One May Have A Meal
A Good Word Or Some Kindly Deed:
They Have Committed The Lord's Sheep And Lambs
Daily To Feed!

They Were In Charity With The Lord!
They Had Refused The Overtures Of The Fraud
And
They Looked Up
To The Author And Finisher Of Their Faith
Determined
His Name Never To Bring To Shameful Disgrace!
They Wanted Their Promised 
Personally Prepared-By-Him Place!

They Knew What Had Been Sacrificed
Their Sinful Gainsaying Lives To Save
And 
They, Repentant, Having Confessed Known Sin
Were Now In Accord With Him 
Who, To Them, Is King, Friend, Redeemer, Creator, Lord 

And

Just As Those Three Men, Wise, From The East
Had Brought To The New Born King
Meaningful Gifts
These Three, Looking To The Consummation
Have Brought Gifts That Would Surely Anger
Enrage, Offend 
And 
Definitely Denigrate The Bold Fraud!

They Each Had All The Same Gifts In Personal Possession
But
Each One Had Chosen One Particular Gift For The Lord!
What They Are Doing
Is Not 
Work To Gain Heavenly Rewards:
All The Heavenly Gifts Are Free!

Tabitha Brought Recognition ... Of Christ's Sacrifice!
Abijah Brought Sympathy ... For The Pain That He Bears
And
Avani Brought Love ... For Him Whose Love Is Daily Showered
Upon All Mankind
Whether A Person Is High-Born, Base
Free, Bond, Or Rich Or Poor!

Their Grace-Filled Affection For The Savior
Will Not Open For Them
Any Of Carnal Mankind's Self-Satisfied
Self-Aggrandized 
Self-Actualized
Technicolor, Oiled, Swinging Both Ways Doors!

They Were In The World ... Not Of It!

Their Practiced Attributes Were Simple:
Self-Sacrifice ... Self Is A Rabid Sinner
Honesty And Humility ... God Does Not Abide Pride
Kindness ... No Carnal Agility
Faith ... No Carnal, Blind-To-Truth, Eyesight
Service ... No Greed For Gain
And Most Assuredly
No Unprofitable Indulgence In The Old Blame Game!

The Lord Loves Them First And Always!
They Love Him Back ... Let His Great Name Be Praised!
They Were Born Under The Curse
But
They Are Living The Modeled Righteous Life
That Shall See In Them
The Cruel Curse Of Death By Him Reversed!

Oh, How He Loves Us ...

Love ... Became A Man!
Love Has Their Names Written In His Scarred Hands!
Love Is Eternal, Holy, Almighty, True, And Wise
And
With The Wind Of Love Under Their Wings
- At The Appointed Time -
They Shall Range With Saints And Angels
Through The Universe's Immense Skies!

They Know They Have Nothing ... By Earth's Standards
Worthwhile To Give
To Him Who They Call Lord
So They Choose To Give Him Something That
Is 
Valuable In The Economy Of The Holy God
And
That Is Why They Give Unto Him All That Is Theirs To Give:
Recognition, Sympathy, Love
And
Obedience, Trust, Worship 
And 
Unfeigned Praise!

Hope Springs Eternal ...

They Are Looking With Longing
Unto The Great And Long Promised
Glorious Glory Days!

And 

By Faithful Endurance
With The Help Of The Comforter
The Holy Spirit That Leads Into All Truth
In Perfect Peace
They Shall See The Face Of The Ancient Of Days!

At The Welcome Home Table
They Shall Be Seated, By Right, In Their Place!

Follower Of Christ!



Ephesians 5:1-3King James Version (KJV)

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

I Am Not A Jesus Fanatic!
I Am Not A Jesus Freak!
I Am A Follower Of Jesus
AND
That Is Something About Which
I Do Not Need To Tweet!

It Is No Special Action!
It Is No Special Occasion!
It Is No Prize Event!
It Is A Statement Of Just Fact
AND
About Which
- God Always Willing -
I Shall Not Relent!

Fans And Freaks
Get Leased 
AND
Unleashed!
Followers Of Christ
Faithful
Walk Steady And Sure
AND
That, My Brother Sister
Is Something Quite Notable
For
All Committed
Obedient
Trusting
Worshiping
Enduring Followers
Will Follow Christ Jesus
- Rights Granted -
Right Through Heaven's Gate Door!

Any More Questions?!

No, No!

Are You Sure?!

BEARING A CROSS: Daily Following After Christ!

Lord, Have Mercy!

What's The Matter!

Matter?!
You Have The Nerve To Ask Me
What's The Matter?!

Shall I Repeat Myself?!

Not Necessary!
I'm Just Steamed At You ... Um, All ... Men!

Okay, Mavis.
What DID Seibert Do ... This Time?!

That Big Able Heathen
That Calls Himself A Cushion...!

Huh?!
Why Would He Call Himself A Cushion?!

Sorry!
That Chris... Ti... An
Just Told Our Son To Take Up His Cross
And Follow Him!!
What Kind Of Father Would Do That?!

Our Father
Which Art In Heaven ...!

... Why Are You Saying Your Prayer?!

I Didn't!

I Just Distinctly Heard You Say:
Our Father
Which Art In Heaven!

Yes, You Did!

So Why Were You Praying?!

I Wasn't!

Come, Now!

Seriously! I Was Responding To Your Question!

Really?

Really!

I Don't Get It!

When Last You Cracked Open The Old Bible?!

Just Last We ... Last Mon...!
What Year Is This, Again?!

2017 ... And All But Over!

I Know Now!
It Was ... The End Of Last Year!

I Shall Now Say
- In Your Behalf -
Lord, Have Mercy!

Whatever!

If You Opened Your Bible
You Would Know What God Said!

Jesus Himself Said That 
If Any Man Will Follow Him
He Must Take Up His Own Cross
Daily ...!

Who Wants To Carry A Cross Daily?!
That Don't Make No Kind Of Sense!
A Daily Cross Is A Daily Burden
And Carrying That Heavy-Tail Thing
Your Strength Is Soon Spent!

Did You Not Hear The Part
... And Follow Jesus?!

I, I, I Guess I Wasn't Really Listening!
I Could Hear The Words
But The Meaning Wasn't Coming Through!

Lord, Help Us!
We Listen But Don't Hear!
We Hear But We Aren't Listening!

I Shall Speak Slowly And Distinctly:

You Must Pick Up Your Cross
Today, And Every Day
And Daily Follow
Our Lord Jesus Christ!

There Is Strength For The Journey
AND
Courage For The Way
AND
Faithful Believers
Should Not On This Matter Delay!

If
- When - We Follow Jesus
We Shall See Persecution
AND
Bear A Cross
To Be "Nailed" To That Cross
BUT
Before That Dark Day
We Will Petition
Pray
Converse
Plead
Commune
With Our Holy God
AND
- In Perfect Obedience -
Do The Will Of The Father
AND
We Will Be Fed Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Strengthened By Holy Angels
AND
True To The Great Commission
We Will Have The Necessary Food Set Before Us
On Experience's Custom-Made Table!

There Is A Crucible For Every Christ-Following Christian
For
Perfection Is The Watchword!

Remaking Us In The Creator's Image
Is On The Trajectory
AND
For Heaven At The Last
The Conclusion Of The Days Of Faithful Endurance
Will See Us Gloriously Triumphant
On The Great Day Of Rejoicing!
That's The Blessing
For Me And Thee!

Cross-Bearers Do Not Walk Alone!

So Why Didn't He Just Say So?!

It's Hid Treasure, Baby Girl!
Hidden Treasure!
You've Got To Open The Book!

Oh.

Be Thankful For The Living God!






If God Was A Man
AND
Could Lie
He Would Say That He Loves Us
BUT 
Not Today!
He Would Promise To Help Us
BUT 
As He Is Having
A Mental Health Day
He Is Saying Out Loud:

This Parenting Crap Doesn't Pay!

BUT ...

God Is Not Man!
He Cannot Lie!
He Loves Us Throughout Life
AND
Even In Death
Because He Loves Us Enough
To Give Us The Quiet Bed
Of The Dead
Even As He Pleads For Others
To Trust Him
AND
Not Their Deceitful Heart's Head!

Our Father
In Heaven
Who Hallows Our Days
Who Directs 
Corrects
AND
Protects Us
When We Are Mislead
Is
Faithful
Trustworthy
A Provider Par Excellence
The God With The Most For Us
When Satan Would Like To Make Toast Of Us!

Our God
Is Excellent
Honest
True
Helpful
Healing
Feeding
Calling Out To Me And To You!
He Is The God Of All Ages
And All Graces, That's True
AND
If We Will Let Him
He Will Take Us
To The Holy Home
Above The Blue!

Be Thankful
That Our Holy God
Is Not
A Hell-Activated Man!
Be Thankful
That Our God Is The God With The Hand Steady
With Truth Ever At The Ready
The God Who Is Shepherd
Leader
Guider
AND
Stay
The God Who Will Help Us
Whenever
Wherever
We
In Faith
Pray!

So ...

When You Observe
What False Gods
Make Their Adherents Do
Be Thankful
That You Serve
The God Holy 
Faithful
Eternal
Loving Wise And True!

Give Unto The God Of Heaven
Your Worship
Your Ways 
AND
Your Days
AND
Feel Yourself Rise Up To Heaven 
Singing Hallelujah 
When Jesus Christ Comes
To Start Our Glory Days!
