HAPPY SABBATH + Be Angry ... And Sin Not!











Imagine What Uncontrolled Anger Can Do! 

In A New Pregnancy
It Can Cause Spontaneous Expulsion Of The Fetus! 

The Anger Caused By Strife-Makers 
Can Cause The Offended Party To Strike A Blow That 
Can Maim Or Kill Another! 

The Anger That Wafts Off Those Who Would Make Men Slaves 
- To Their Various Lusts - 
When Their Plans Are Thwarted 
Can Lead To Murder! 

The Anger Of Those Who Would Force Others 
To Think, Believe
And 
Act As Their "Betters" Have Commanded 
Is 
Demonic In Its Rancor, Rage, And Range! 

Beloved, 

The Bible Tells Us To Be Angry ... And Sin Not 
Because 
We Can Get Angry ... And Sin 
Which Opens Us Up To All Kinds Of Problems 
Which We Would Do Well To Avoid! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Call King Saul A Fool 
Because 
He Somehow Believed He Could Control The Hand Of God! 

King Saul Wanted To Kill 
The Ordained, Appointed, And Anointed Future King, David
And 
When He Could Not
He Killed Eighty-Five Of The Eighty-Six Priests Of God At Nob! 

King Saul Added Sin Upon Sin 
By Hob-Nobbing With The Witch At Endor 
And 
At The End Of His Time On Earth
He Committed Self-Murder Aka Suicide! 

Let Us Be Wise To Recognize That
As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Christ
We Should Let The Lord Fight Our Battles 
Instead Of Going Into Murderous Rages! 

We Should Be Angry Enough To Not Indulge In Wrong-Doing 
And 
Should Instead Get Angry And Rage Against Sin And Sinning! 

Don't Be Hasty To Get Angry! 

Self-Control Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit: 
Exercise It 
Or 
Ask The Lord For His Indwelling Spirit 
To Help You To Walk Rightly, Wisely, In The Light Of Life! 

Peace!

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Serving!?!







Character Flaws ... Found In Every Last One Of Us
Must Be Overcome 
If We Will Enter The Heavenly Paradise Of Peace! 

Nobody Likes A Vengeful, Spiteful
Dishonest, Insincere, Entitled
Proud
And 
Uncontrollable Person! 
Sin 
Is 
Surely Knocking At That Heart's Door!

Our Flaws Aka Faults 
Are Undesirable Traits Of Character 
Which Must Be Gotten Rid Of 
And 
If We Don't We Will Be No More Than 
Nice And Nifty Bouncy Balls 
For Satan The Damned To Use, Abuse, Discard 
And 
Destroy! 

Our Cultivated Character 
Determines
Our Final Destination! 


Beloved, 

Please Be Aware That 
We Are To Confess Our Sins To Almighty God 
And 
Our Flaws To Each Other 
And 
Not The Other Way Around! 
Do Not Be Deceived!

Think Carefully 
About What Your Flaws Have Already Cost You 
And 
How Feeding Your Known Flaws 
Has Encouraged You To Commit Known Sin! 

The God Of Grace ... Known Holy
Loves Us Enough 
To Have Given Us Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
To Counteract Our Flaws 
And 
It Is In Our Best Interests 
To Change Our Present Direction 
And Allow
Love, Joy, Peace
Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness
Patience, Faithfulness
And 
Self-Control 
To Have Their Wonderful Way In Our Lives 
So That We Do Not Lose The Gifted Home On High 
Which We Cannot Ever Buy! 

Getting Rid Of Habits That Cannot Profit 
Does Not Cost Us Anything Save Time 
Which Is Also A Gift From God!
 
Be Wise ...

Work Out 
Your Own Soul's Already Purchased-For-You Salvation
With Fear And Trembling!

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: The Meek And Gentle Spirit!

They Love To Say That They Have Talents
Capital "T" And "S" At The End

So There Is No Need For Them To Be Meek
And That They Do Not To Others
- In Humility -
Have To Bend!

Big Whoo Hoo!!

Well, I've Got Jesus!
Creator At The Beginning
Savior In The Middle
And 
Redeemer At The End!
My Soul Against Damnation
He Defends!

They Would Do Well 
To Look At Mary The Mother Of Jesus
Elizabeth The Mother Of John The Baptist
Sarah The Mother Of Isaac And The Shunamite Woman!

Look At The Woman At The Well! 

Look At Hannah, Prophet Samuel's Mum
And, Then Look Around You And Look At Us
And See The Arrogance, The Pride
The Willful Waywardness
The Desire For The Preeminence
The Desire To Rule
The Constant Butting Of Heads
Because
No One Wants To Be Second
No One Want To Follow
No One Wants To Serve
Because
They Just Want To Be Seen
And
To Do That Properly
They Are Creating Havok
Amongst The People Of God
And
Retarding The Work Of The Lord Christ!


Instead Of Blessing With Faithful Service
They Are Doing The Benighting Work Of Satan, The Liar
The Wannabe God!


We, As Committed, Christian, Women 
Need To Learn To Be Meek!

Men, Too!

We, As Committed, Christian, Women Need
The Savior's Will Daily To Seek! 

Men, Too!

We Need To Stop, Think 
And 
Turn Away From Folly
And
Once And For All Times Learn That

Competition Causes Compromise
That A Broken Tailbone Always Results
From The Prideful Fall
That The Higher A Monkey Climbs
The More His Unmentionables Are Exposed
That Disdain For The Simple
Always Causes One To Neglect The Prayer Phone
That What Sweetens The Goat's Mouth Often Burns Him In The Tail
That Being Humble Is Not Fatal

And
That Being Meek Doesn't Mean One Is A Failure!

We Need To Remember That The Master Was Meek
And
We Need To Constantly Remember His Whole Character
The Methods He Used
The Means
The Walk
The Wisdom
The Watching Unto Prayer
The Desire To Please His Father

And
His Ready Willingness
The Good News To All Hearers
Compassionately, Lovingly, To Share
And
Without Fear!


Our Gentle Jesus ... The Man Of Sorrow
Lord Of Earth And Sky And Sea
Willing Servant
Willing Sacrifice Pure And Clean
Served With Kingdom Purpose
And
Not To Be Seen!


The Lord Lived What He Taught:
Humility With Love
Sharing With Hope
Blessing With Promise
Untainted By Time
Untempted By Tests
Unbothered By Base Courseness
Willing To Uplift The Faceless
The Tasteless, The Tawdry
The Profaned
Willing To Bless Bountifully
The Blind, The Halt, The Lame
Willing To Cleanse The Careless
The Clueless, The Foolish

And
Always With A Kind Heart
A Pure Heart
A Firm Voice
To Lay Out Truth Unpopular 

To The Puffed Up, Prideful, Self-Aggrandized
But
So Very Needed And Necessary
For Those Who Have Seeking Hearts
Searching Eyes
Attuned-To-Truth Ears
To Uplift Them
To Save Them
And
Against The Great Day Of Small Things
Impregnably Seal!


Unrepentant Sinners Shall Be Seared!


The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Rules The World
For Good
For Ill
For Blessing
For Blight
For The Delight Of Satan
Or
For The Delight Of The Glorious One
Who Will Give To His Meek Ones

- On The Day Appointed -
The Earth Made New
And
Eternal Life!


Brethren,


I Am Sure Of Only One Thing:
It Is Time For Us To Change Into Gospel Shoes!

Being Meek Doesn't Mean
Being  A Door Mat
Nor A Mattress!
It Means Having The Character Of Christ
The Heart Of The Living, Holy God
Ever To Delight!


Being Meek Requires Faith's Pure Eyesight 
Which Gives Foresight
Which Negates The Need For Hindsight! 


Christ's Oversight Causes Us To Have Insight
Obviating The "Need" For Putrid Pride
Lost-Man Lust
And
Enervating Envy!
It's Time That We Cease From Wanting
With The Dying World To Be Trendy!


Indeed!
It Was Envy That Got Us Into This Mess 
In The First Place!

Thank God That Jesus Christ Saves!

Foundation AND Fruit!


Did You Know That The Justice Of God
Is The Foundation Of His Throne
And
The Fruit Of His Love Towards Us?!

No, I Didn't!
Please Explain Yourself Because 
I Don't See The Correlation Between 
Hard Foundation And Soft And Sweet Fruit!

Fruit Has Skin To Peel Back
Skin To Discard
Skin To Retain
Seeds Soft
Seeds Hard
Seeds Edible
Seeds Inedible
Seeds Bitter
Seeds Sweet
Sections Big And Small
Sections Long Short Square Semi-Circular
And More 
And Foundations ... Done Right
Are Deep And Wide, Reinforced
Built Up, Sure And Secure
Fit To And For Service
Rock Solid! 

I Don't Have To Explain Anything To You ...! 

... That's Rude! Really, Really, Rude! 

No, It's Not! 
You Didn't Let Me Finish My Statement! 

Oh, Dear! I'm So Sorry! 

You Should Be! 
Stop Jumping The Gun!! 

As I Was Saying Before
I Don't Have To Explain Anything To You
Because
You Explained It Yourself! 

Huh!?!

The Word Of Truth Is Amazing ...

The Lord Is The Rock
Upon Which The Church Is Built
A Sure And Secure Foundation
That Nothing Can Tilt!

The Lord Is Spirit
And
The Lord Is Life! 
The Lord Is Judge Of Us All
And
He Protects His People 
From And Through The Strife! 

The Spirit Has Fruit
In Abundance
And
To Share
Not To Any And Every Body 
But
To Those Who Declare
Love, Allegiance
Faith, Hope, Trust
Indulging Obedience
Choosing His Leading
And
Leaving Lying Satan
In Cast-Off Sin's Dust! 

The Fruit Of The Love Of God Towards Us
Comes At A Personal Cost To All Regenerated 
New Birth Believers
And
It Is Just As You Laid Out
In The Types And Attributes Of The Fruit! 

We Fallen, Sinners,  Have The Fruit Of The Sin Life! 
Almighty God Has The Fruit For The Faith Life! 

Remember, 
The Master Said:

Oh, Taste And See 
That
The Lord Is Good!

You Know
I Never Understood That Phraseology!

Me, Neither! 

I Could Never Get My Mind Around
Tasting And "Seeing" At One And The Same Time! 

Call Me Simple!
I See Fruit! 
I Desire To Taste Fruit! 
I Fulfill Desire And I Eat The Fruit!

That's A Good Way To Look At The Fruit Of The Spirit!

I Get The Impression
That We Are To "See" With Our Satisfied Stomachs
Because
A Satiated Stomach Is Only Possible
When
The Taste Buds Say: I Like!
Let This Taste Sensation Be Utterly Consumed!

Depth Of Consumption Is Built Based On Desire
And
Satisfied Desire Says:

THAT ... Was
THAT ... Is ... Good!


Think On The Text Psalm 85:10!










The Father Is Mercy!
Jesus Is Truth!
The Father Is Righteousness!
Jesus Is Peace!
They Meet And They Kiss
There Is Love! 

Think About It:

To Be Merciful
You Have To Be Able To Execute Justice! 
For There To Be A Demand For Justice
Someone Had To Offend Righteousness
Aka Right-Doing!

Jesus Christ 
- He Who Is The Word
The Way
The Light
The Life Of Mankind
Shows And Tells Us The Truth
Modelling How We Are To Live Before The Father
The Jealous God
Zealous for His Holy Name! 

Jesus Christ ... Shiloh
Our Peace
Made Peace With The Father
By Satisfying His Justice
For The Offence Against His Holy Name
By Bleeding Out Innocent Blood!

Jesus Christ Presents The Fruit Of His Sacrifice
To His Father
And
We Receive The Credit! 

Indeed! We Are Blessed Beyond Measure!

If Only We Will Now Be Wise Enough To Accept That
Jesus Christ Is Our Forever Treasure!

I Second That  ... We Are Blessed!

So, Brethren,
With That Said
Let's Get To Stepping
Walking In And Living For Truth
And
Build Upon That Sure And Secure Foundation
Whilst Living In The Gospel Light
And
Eating Of The Sweet Fruit Of The Spirit
So That We May Receive
What Jesus Christ Purchased For Us
At Infinite Cost!

May The Spirit Of The Living God Descend Upon Us!

AMEN!!!


Let Us With Gladness
Eat Of The Fruit Of The Spirit
That Gives Blessing Without Ceasing
And
Which We Can Never Use Up!

Accept Free Salvation ... And Grow Good Fruit!




We Do Not Earn Salvation
By Obedience
For
Salvation Is The Free Gift Of God!
Faith Reaches For
AND
Takes
A From-Death-Unto-Eternal-Life-Hold 
On Salvation
AND
Obedience Is The Fruit Of Our Faith
In Him 
Who Will Our Faithfulness Reward!

Obedience Is 
The Fruit Of Faith
Which Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
And That Makes Obedience
A Good Fruit
Twice Sweet!
AND
This Fruit Is Such
That It Is Filling With Satisfactions
Known
AND
To Be Known
When We See Our Blessed King
AND
Behold Him
On His Eternal And Glorious Throne!

A Life Of Obedience
AND
Unswerving Faith
Is
To The Sinner
A Strong Reproof
A Visible Felt Slap In The Face
An Indictment
An Affront
A Stark Challenge
To Be Severely Met
For
The Life Of Obedience
Causes The One Disobedient
Unfaithful To Truth And Right
To Be Miserable
AND
To Constantly Angrily Fret!

Remember Cain
Of Grossly Disobedient Frame
Who Hated Abel's Obedience
AND
Slew Him As Proof
Of His Stand
Against The Maker's Guidance
Showing Plain Also
His Stand Against Righteousness
AND
Killing The Innocent
So That The Guilty Raging Spirit
Could At Last
From Visible Reproof Rest
Though The Earth Grossly
With Innocent Blood
Be Indelibly Stained!

Remember
The Second Adam
Jesus Christ
The Second Abel
Whose Blood Gave Better Testimony
For It Cleans The Known Guilty Of Sin!

Abel
The Type Innocent
The Sacrificial Lamb
His Blood The Guilty Accused
BUT
Jesus Christ
The True Innocent
The True Sacrificial Lamb
- By Our Acting In His Faith Unto Obedience -
- By Accepting His Merits -
Will The Confessed
Repentant Sinner's
Reproof Remove!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Run Right
Or
Stand Wrong!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Earn
The Judge's Frown!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Claim
The Eternal King's Rewarding
AND
One Step
Is All It Takes
To Determine
One's Eternal Fate!

Act ONE
The Devil Acts!
We React!
The Consequence Is Ours!

Act TWO
Our Lust For Reaction
Gains Traction
AND
Consequences Are Damned!
We Are No More On The Fence
AND
Hope For Good
Unto To Willing Evil
Is Assuredly Gone!

Practice Is All It Takes
So ... Take Faith!
Accept ... Free Salvation!
Grow ... Willing Obedience!
AND
The Fruit
Of
The Tree Of Life
Your Mouth Will Surely Taste!


To Get A Good Crop
We Must Have Good Ground!

The Seed Of The Holy Spirit
Is
Always Good!

With What
Are YOU
Tilling
And
Manuring Your Mind?!
