Dr. Jesus ... And The Issue Of Sin!




Particular Sins
Are Now Called Medical Conditions
Which The Medical Fraternity
Can Shore Up
BUT
Not Cure!

Those Who Have These Conditions
Are Never Told
About The For-Real Dr. Jesus
The Great Physician 
Who
At The Will Of His Father
Knocked Sin For Six
On The Cross
At Jerusalem Of Yore!

Upon Examination
Of The Vilest Offender
Dr. Jesus
Calls The Sin By Its Given First
AND
Only Name
AND
Prescribes
Confession AND Repentance
Before The Father
In The Name Of The Holy One 
Who
For That Same Sinner
Did Willingly Die!

Thereafter ...

The Patient Is Prescribed:


  • A Change From Past Associates
  • A Falling Away From Bad Habits AND Offending Deeds
  • Assessed A Guardian Angel

AND

  • Ordered A Straight Obedience To The Tenets Of The Good Book

AND

  • Encouraged To Stand Fast AND Close To The One Who Was Stricken For Our Ungodly Deeds Done While Living In Sin's Hood!


The Sinner Now Saved
Is Cautioned 
To Pray Earnestly
Without Ceasing
To Fill His House
- Swept Of Unclean Spirits -
With The Holy Ghost
Available 
By Invitation-Only Request!

That Sinner - Now Saved
Is Required 
To Willingly Let The Holy Spirit Lead
AND
To Walk By Faith
- Not From Fear -
For He Has Holy Angels
To Guard And Guide
As In Jesus Christ
He Daily 
Trustingly Confides!

All Sinners Saved
- Through Grace -
By Great Mercy Blessed
Must Stay Prayed Up
OR
By Sin
Get Knocked Up!

The Formerly Vile Sinner
NOW 
Sinner-Saved By Grace
AND
Clean Before The Lord
Must Walk Holy By Jesus' Faith
AND
Not Drink Of The World's Spiritually False Doctrines
Nor Eat At King Fraud's Buffet
Populated With Foods Sacrificed To Idols
Those False Gods
Blind
Deaf
Dumb
Crippled
Not Worth The Merest Penny In Dust
Gleaned
From A Windswept Sidewalk!

Sin Has A Name -  Use It!
Sin Has A Cure - Don't Refuse It!
Salvation Is Free - Don't Reject It!

Tell The Good News!
Don't Be Selfish And Store It:


Satan Is The Liar!
Dr. Jesus From Sin Saves!

Satan Hates That
Dr. Jesus Frees Satan Slaves
EVEN WHEN
They Don't Know
Their Sin 
IS
A Demonic Attack!

Trash Satan
By Trusting Dr. Jesus
The Provider Of Living Holy Cures!

There Is No Need 
To Beg For The Cure
Because
The Itinerant Dr. Jesus
Is Even Right Now
Knocking
At Your Hurting Heart's Broken Door!

Don't Harden Your Heart!
Answer Him: "Yes, Lord!"
For
- By Endurance -
In Him
With Him
By Him
Through Him
You Can't Eternity-In-Heaven Lose!

Go For The Real Win!
Let Dr. Jesus
- The Great Physician -
Be Your Choice!

*********

CHOOSE NOT TO LOSE!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Lying Song Of Satan + PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me




One Lovely, Lovely Day
I Heard Satan 
Singing 
A Cheerful Song:

"Anything god can do
I Can DO Better!
Anything god Can Do
I Can DO Best!"

Fool - Thy Name Is Human Said:

"Oh, No, You Can't!"

Satan Replied:

Oh, Yes,  I Can!
Oh, Yes, I Can!
Oh, Yes I Caa-aaa-ann!

AND ...

The Fight Was On!

NOW ...

As Any Bible-Believing Christian Should Know
Satan Is An Unremitting Liar To The Umph Degree!
Satan Hates Jesus Christ!
Satan Hates Humans Because God Loves Them!
Satan Wants What God Has!
Satan Is A Counterfeiter
AND
That Is His Star-Card
Hence His:

"Anything god Can Do
I Can DO Better!"

I Should Have 
Known Better
Than To Engage 
With Satan!

I Should Have 
Given Him My Back
Told God Satan Was Me About To Attack
BUT
Noooooo!
I Chose To Battle With Him
AND

In The Very Process
Nearly Lost My Head 
Life!

Literally!

Sufficed To Tell You
Satan Took Me Through
His Alphabet Shopping List
In An Attempt To Show Me
What He Could "DO" With
For Me!

I Was Sore ...
I Was Sorely TempTED!

I Tell You Honestly:
Satan Is Sin!
Satan Is The Tempter!
Satan Knows Humans!
Satan Knows How To Make Humans Sin!
Satan Customizes Temptation For Humans
To Make Humans 
SIN AGAINST GOD!
Because It Makes Satan Happy 
To Make God Unhappy 
Sad His Humans!

Believe You Me
I Yielded To Many Of Satan's Temptations
- They Were Off The Chain Pretty ... Hooks -
Before I Sat Still Long Enough
- Not Just To Hear -
To Listen To The Still Small Voice Of 
God's Holy Spirit
Calling
Chiding
Counselling
AND, YES
- At The End Of One Of My Base Cock-ups -
Comforting Me!

I Had Never Stopped Praying!

It Was Then
That I Learned That
Just Because A Person Has Free Will
To Do As One Pleases
It Does Not Mean That One Should
AND
That Too Much Sweet Can Turn A Belly Bitter!

I Learned 
- The Hard Way -
That
"Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout'
Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Bambam!"

Satan's Calling Card(s)
Singly Or In Combination
- Depending On The Person Involved -
IS

  • Life Without Limits
  • Desire Is License
  • Let No Man Judge You
  • You Are A God So Go
  • Do What Thou Wilt
  • Live Fast - Die Young And Make A Pretty Corpse

AND, STRANGELY ENOUGH
Quoting God (But Misapplied):

  • Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

In All Satan's Interactions
With Mankind
The Temptations
ALL
Fall Into Three CateGORIES:


  • Lust Of The Eyes
  • Lust Of The Flesh
  • Pride Of Life 

OR, Same Difference


  • Stomach
  • Tempting God
  • False Worship


As Satan Puts It:


SIN Is NOT Really SIN
If You SIN For Your SELF
So SIN To Always Please SELF
For 
Your SIN 
Is For
Your Own SOUL'S SWEET SATISFACTION!

I Learned 
That If 
Eye Appreciates It
Mouth Will Eat It
Stomach Will Digest It
AND
Deceitful-Heart Is Well-Pleased!

My Body Was Tackled!
My Heart Was Tickled!
My Soul Was Damned
Near Satisfied
Unto Death
Until I Read:


Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
I Knew I Had Done Evil!
I Knew I Was Doing Wrong
BUT ...
Satan Was Singing Melodiously 
A Melodious 
AND
Enticing 
Utterly Adorable 
"Come-Softly-To-Me!"
Love Song!

Satan's Beat Was Up Tempo!
My Feet Were Tapping Away!
My Head Was In Tune 
Bobbing
AND
My Body ...
Ah, My Body ...
My Body Was Shaking
Shaking Excitedly
Excitedly Shaking Away!

BUT ... THEN

My Teeth Started Rattling!
There Was A Great Humming In My Ears!
My Heart Started Palpitating
AND
All Of Me

Started Trembling
Trembling
Trembling In Abject Fear!

That Night I Feared Sleeping!
At The Dawn I Feared Waking Up!
I Knew That This
Was The Day Of Decision
AND
My Stomach Started Throwing Up!


My Past Called Yesterday
Came Knocking!
My Future Called Tomorrow 
Showed Up
AND
My Present Called Today 

Unfolded
AND
I Knew That My Life 
Was Well And Truly
If-ed Up!

IF I Continued With Satan ...!
IF I Started Back Seeking For God ...!
IF I Chose Not To Make A Decision ...!
If None Of This Hadn't Happened At All ...!
IF God Hadn't Created Lucifer 
Or
Even The Earth At All!

IF Only I Hadn't Engaged Satan!
IF Only I Had Not From God Strayed Away!
IF Only - The Saddest Words Imaginable
The Epitaph Of A Christian
Gone 
Walking Astray!

Okay. 
God,
You Are Creator!
You Used To Love Me!
IF I Pray
Will You Still Care?


Child,
There Is No "IF" In My Kingdom!
There Is Also No Halfway!
You Cannot
Be Blessing Me 
And
Blasting With Satan
And
Believe That I Will Permit
You To Kiss Me With That Mouth!

IF You Love Me - Love ME!
IF You Love Satan - Love HIM!
For I AM The All OR Nothing Soul-Lover
And
I Won't Share Your Affections With
The Lying Other!

I AM Calling To You! - COME HOME!
I AM Calling To You! - LEAVE SIN ALONE!
I AM Telling You Plain
Life With Me Is No Bed Of Baubles And Roses
BUT
I AM Always Here
Let Me Make That Really Clear
For What Is My Own
I Keep
And Will Celebrate
On That Day
When They - Having Endured To The End -
Shall Enter Into My Holy Home!

I Turned Away From Satan!
I Threw Away My Old Clothes!
I Severed All Ties With Companions Of Old
For
I Was Getting Off The Sin-Drug
Cold!

I Washed The Dust Of The Street Off My Feet!
I Had Communion That Day!
I Had Bread And Grape Juice
AND
Uttered A Truly Simple Pray:



Father,
Forgive Me!
I Know What I Did!
I Confess And Repent
Bless Me And Keep Me
Away From The Skids!
Raise Up In My Heart
A Spirit Of Revulsion
For Sin
And Keep Me Obedient
For I Desire
Your Home To Enter In!
I Love You!
Teach Me To Love You, Lord
AMEN.

I Am Now Satisfied ... WITH JESUS CHRIST!

Serving God: The God Of All






I Serve A God
Who Has Eyes That See
Everything - Good or Bad -
That Every Single Human Being
That Has Been Or
Ever Will Be On This Planet
Has Done 
Or Will Ever Do.

I Serve A God
Who Has Ears
Not Just For Decoration
But To Hear
And Does Hear The Loudest Wail
Or The Softest Call
Of Any One Who Chooses
To Call Him Lord
Or Wants To Know If He Is God
Or Needs To Know That He Is Near
Of Just To Utter His Name
To Cast Away Very Human Doubts and Fears.

I Serve A God
Who Has Real Hands
To Soothe The Weary
Or Even Sorrowing 
Or Even Worried Brow
To Shield From Destruction
To Shepherd His Children On The Way
To Beckon The Seekers
To Hold His Own Safe ... and Secure From Spiritual Harm!

I Serve A God
With Living, Feeling, Full-Body Blooded Feet
Which Same Feet Walked The Lonesome Road
Walked Amongst The Sick and Suffering
The Hopeless and The Helpless
The Hungry and Self-Satisfied
The Seeking and The Sorrowful
The Angry and The Hateful
The Betrayed and The Betraying
The Heaven-bound and The Hellbent
Climbed Mount Calvary
Were Nailed To The Cross
Walked Out Of The Cold Grave
Stood On The Cloud On The Way To Heaven
Which Will Stand On The Cloud On The Way Back To Earth
To Claim And Carry All His Children Home
Which Feet Also Hold The Perpetual Marks
Of The Sacrifice For My Shame
Which Feet I Will See With My Own Eyes
And Be Able To Touch
Because The Very God That I Serve
Is Not A Plaster Saint
A Paper Dragon
Nor A Comic Folly!

I Serve The God
Who Cries
Who Is Hurt
Who Helps
Who Heals
With Whom Is Hope
AND
Who To All Humans Never Fails To Appeal.

I Serve The God 
Of All Graces
My Hope For Glory
The Servant King
The True Shepherd
AND
My Way Home!

I Serve The God 
With The Beating Heart
Who Is Touched By My Griefs
AND
Who Came To Earth 
AND
Was Tempted As I Often Am
BUT
Never Sinned
So As To Serve As My Example 
On How I May Live A Victorious Life.

I Serve The God 
Who Loves Me
Who Created Me
Who Desires A Relationship With Me
And Adopted Me
For His Own Child
And Made Me An Heir
To The Heavenly Realm.

I Serve The God 
Who Lets His Holy Spirit
Abide In Me
To Comfort Me
To Teach Me
To Chide Me
To Keep Me 
In The Right and Holy Way.

I Serve 
The Holy
Eternal
All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
In Whom Is All
The Beginning
The Ending
Can't Be Usurped
Nor Back-Raised
Unrelinquishing
Living God!
The Lamp!
