Oh, How He Loves You And Me!



John 3:16 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Beloved, 

It Is Amazingly Easy To Get Careless
And 
Complacent About The Truth 
To The Point Where It Becomes Practically Meaningless! 

We Cannot Afford This With John 3:16 
Because 
It Means The Difference Between 
Getting Inside The Heavenly Father's Safe House 
And 
Being Not Only Left Outside The Happy Home 
But 
Being Cast Into Outer Darkness! 

There Is No Light
No Life
No Light Of Life In Outer Darkness: 
There Is The Second Death
Aka Eternal Separation From Our Father
From Almighty God
From The Lord Of Life! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Almighty God Is Love! 
Love Gave All He Had To Give Us
- Whom He So Loves - 
All That He Has 
And
All It Takes For Us To Receive All That God Has 
Is 
Our Gift To Him Of Our Belief In His Son, Jesus Christ
- The Righteous Judge ... The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
Our Hope For Surpassing Glory -
Who Believed His Father's Promise That 
If He Freely Laid Down His Life 
To Save Us From The Wages Of Sin
He Would Take It Up Again! 
Promise Made: Promise Kept! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Alive ... And Interceding For Us
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And 
We Who Choose To Accept The Promise 
- By The Faith Of Belief -
And 
Stay The Course Of Reciprocated Love 
- By Faithful, Enduring Obedience -
Shall Surely Be Physically Welcomed Into The Family 
With The Purchased Gift Of Everlasting Life! 
Immortality On Tap: 
Corruption Impossible! 
There Is No Greater Gift
Sooo ... Gratefully Get Greedy For God's Greatest Gift! 



Perfect Peace For Us
Is
The Gift Given
By
The Prince Of Peace!!

Giving Thanks ... For Sorrow And Pain!?!

When You Can't See God, Believe!
When You Can't Hear God, Hope!
When All You Can Do Is Cry, Sing
And
Pray For The Promised Perfect Peace
And
Rest In Christ Jesus:
Give Him Control Of 
Satan's Intending-To-Hang-You Rope
And
Give Grateful Thanks And Praise!

Pervis!?!

Yes, Clancy!?!

Pervis, Do You Smell Smoke!?!

Can't Say That I Do, Clancy!

Pity, Because You're Blowing Smoke In My Face 
With That Remark!

Would You Care To Elaborate On That Derider!?!

I'll Be Glad To!
Who, But A Regulation Idiot
Would Be Thankful To God
For Satan Trying To Kill Them
And With, Of All Things
A Strangulation Rope!?!

Oh, I Thought You Were Coming At Me Hard!
That's A Real Soft Ball Pitch!

Excuuuuse Me!?!

You're Not Excused, My Friend
Because
I'm Now Gonna Preach To You!

I'm Listening 
And You May Preach All You Want
But Rest Assured, Old Friend O'Mine
You Ain't Getting No Offering
And I Ain't Answering No Altar Call!

Very Well!
It's Your Ears That I'm A-needing!

The Child
The Student
The Servant
The Fool For Christ
The Regenerated Christian
The One Who Reads ... Who Hears
Who Believes:
KJV 1 Thessalonians 5:18





Is 
The One Who Will Willingly, Wisely, Give Thanks To God
Through Tests, Trials, Torments ... Tribulation!

It Can Be Very Difficult
To Give Thanks To The Living God
In The Midst Of Sorrow, Shame, Emotional Hurt
And
Physical Pain
But
By The Grace Of The Eternal God ... We Must!

Giving Thanks When Times Are Terrific Is Easy
But
In Tough Times ... Not So Much! 

The Lord Desires Us To Be Thankful 
Because
We Are His Peculiar Treasure
And
We Are Under His Guardianship
And As Such 
We Are Never, Ever, Alone!

Our Thanks 
Is 
An Indicator Of Our Trust
And
Our Belief In His Love
His Care, Help, Healing
Leading, Provision
And
His All-Around Ability 
To Bless Us Even When We Don't See Him
Or The Day's Light!

We Are Not Forgotten
- Neither Are We Forsaken -
So We Can More Than Afford
To Give Almighty God Thanks
All Day ... Every Day!

You Should Be Aware ...

When The Provider And Guarantor Of Your Peace
Is 
The Creator Of The Universe
Who Laid Down His Life
To Purchase You A Get-Home-Safe
Ticket To Paradise
To Inhabit A Place In One Of The Mansions Of The Blessed
To Eat From The Tree Of Life
To Drink Of The Water From The River Of Life
To Wear The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness
To Wear The Victor's Crown
To Range To Worlds Unknown
And
Tell Our Unfallen Brethren ...  From Experience
The Story Of Salvation
You Can Boldly, Bluntly, Tell Satan ...!

... Bite Me Twice In Three Places!
I'm Giving God Praise
And I'm Thankful For Grace! 
Jesus Christ Is The Captain Of My Ship
And I'm Going Home To Glory With Him Soon
Where, For You, Satan
There Will Never Again Be A Place!

Hmmm! 
You Learn Real Quick!
Your Comment Is Not Strictly Biblical 
With The Bite Me Thing
But
Otherwise ... It's Perfect! 

Good!
What's For Lunch!?!

Rejecting The Urge ...



In Jesus' Name
I Reject The Urge
To Join The Surge
To Accept Sin As The Thing
From Which There Is No Purge
AND
For Which Is Never Heard
The Funeral Dirge!

I Desire 
To Possess
The Wisdom Of The Wise
From The Sage For The Ages
Not That From The Sages of The Technicolor Pages
Whose Deceitfully Wicked Hearts 
Are Locked In "Paid For By Sin" Gilded Cages
And Who Rage Against Him
Who A Man's Heart Gauges
AND
Who Will Give Unto Each Man 
His Earned
AND
Eternal Wages!

I Do Not Choose 
To Run Around
Constantly In A Hurry
Accepting Every Sound
When The Devil's Band Doth Cause A Flurry
Ignoring The Repentance Call
AND
Ending Up As Quarry
Aboard Destruction's Well-used Lorry!

I Have No Desire 
To Be Late
To Suffer The Unrepentant Sinners' Fate
To Be Shut Out Of Heaven's Gate
Having No One But 
My Sinful Self To Berate!

I Desire 
To Attend The King's Banquet
Wearing A Righteous Man's  Robe
Not A Sinner's Blanket
Thankful To The King 
Whose Sacrifice Provided It
AND
The Holy Spirit Who Guided My Way 
On The Path To Claiming It!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mark Marked, Remarked!







MAN
Born Marked!
Born Marked For Destruction
Living A Destructive Life!
Born Marked For Destruction!
Who Will Help Cause The Mortal Soul 
To Survive and To Thrive?

JESUS CHRIST
Born Marked!
Born Marked For Destruction!
Living The Life - Yet Without Sin!
Born Marked For Destruction!
Destroyed For Me And You!
Destroyed?!
Yes! Destroyed!
And Right On Cue!

Fully God And Fully Man
Teaching The Holy Way
Tempted But Never Sinned
Sacrificed For The Willing Sheep Flock
AND
Even For The Stubborn Goat Herd
Even Though They Refuse
To Let Him Be Heard!

The Willing Sacrifice
Got What He Did Not Deserve
To Spare All Sinners 
That Thing They Truly Do Deserve!

But ... He Is Right Now, Alive!!

Even Though Mortal Man
Is Born Marked For Death
ONCE
By His Acceptance Of 
The Sacrifice For Sin
He Negates
The Mark "Marked For Destruction!"
TWICE

BUT ...

All Who Choose
For Their Own Sin To Pay
Rejecting The Sacrifice
Of Him
Who Once For All
Did For Sin Pay
Have A Fixed Appointment
On That Soon Coming Day
When Once Dead
Will Be Twice Dead 
Completely Destroyed, and
Sin 
Forever Burned Away!

AND ...

The Believing
One-time Marked For Death
BUT
Rewarded By The Life
With Eternal Life
Will Live 
Free
Immortal
Glorified
Blessed
AND
Beloved
With Their Savior
Who Absolved Redeemed Them
- Because of Enduring Faith -
From
Destruction's Unquenchable Consuming Fire!




Each Man 
Chooses
His Own Destination:

Hell
and
Its Unquenchable Fire

Or

Heaven
and
Its Glorious Attire!

Just Remember ...

There Is No Second Second Chance

AND

There Is No 
1,000 Years Of Peace On Earth
and then
Evil-Life Re-Do!

*******

God's Unquenchable Fire

No Hand Can Put Out
AND
All Who Enter There
Will Be Consumed
Until They Burn Out!

THE END OF THE STORY!

I Choose Jesus Christ

PRAYER: FATHER, Thank You For The Grace



Heavenly Father,
I Come Before You - As a Child Beloved
With A Supremely Grateful Heart
Thankful
That Within My Right To Life
Is My Right To Choose
This Very Day
Which GOD I Will Serve!

Father, With a Contrite Heart 
I Choose To Humbly Worship You!

Father,  You have Clearly Stated in Your Eternal Word
That Every Human Being
MUST Work Out His Own Soul's Salvation
With Fear -  Godly Fear - and Trembling
And I  -  of My Own God-given Free Will -
Reverently Bow Before You - Not with the Eye Servant's Knee - 
But With a Conscious-of-My-Own-Unworthiness and 
Longing-for-The-Home-With-Jesus-Heart 
To Honor You with My Praise and My Worship!

Father,  I Am Indeed Thankful That You
The Holy God
Are My Lord and My God,  and 
Not The Lying Other!

I Am Thankful That You Have Given Me Leave-to-Appear 
Before The Throne of Grace 
So That We can Reason Together
To Come To The Conclusion of The Whole Matter!

Help Me, Father, To Do My Living Loving Duty Which Is
Indeed 
To Fear You, and 
To Keep Your Commandments
For The Day Is Coming 
When You Will Bring Ever Work 
Into Judgment 
With Every Secret Thing That I Have Done!



Help Me,  Father
To Lay All of My Burdens 
Upon The Altar of Sacrifice
To Lay them Down 
and 
Turn Away from Them
and 
Leave Them In Your Holy and Matchless Care!

Father,  
Please Help Me To Listen When Your Holy Spirit Speaks
and
As I Listen To What I Hear From Your Holy Spirit
Help Me To Obey
Without Human Fear and Failing!

I Am Weak
But
In You Lord
I Am Remade  ...  Strong!

Help Me To Ever Trust You and In You!

Help Me To Abide - Faithful - In Your Care!

Help Me To Walk Holy Every Day
No Matter What The Unbelieving Man May Say!

Help Me To Stand Firm
In Jesus' Faith
Until The Day Dawns
When I Shall See My Jesus
Faith-to-Face
Nevermore To Be Called
A Fairy-tale-Believing Disgrace, and
Thereafter 
To Reside Forever
In The Eternal Place!

Thank You For Your Mercy!
Thank You For Your Love!
Thank You For Your Grace
and
Thank You For The Heavenly Hope!

Blessed Is Your Holy Name!

AMEN.

Enduring Unto The End!





I AM A Speed Racer
I Always Tear Up The Track!
There Isn't A fellow In The Class To Beat Me
For 
Those Other Racers Do Not Know Jack!

One Day ...

The Word came from The Mount Of Endurance That
Volunteers were Needed to Run The Long Race
AND
If Any of The Speed Runners Were Willing 
Training Would be Available After The Try-Outs!

I was The Boss when it Came to Running!
I was Going to Scrape Up The Floor at The Trials
On The Given Day!
I was Going to be The Champion
For
I was Not Going To With Those Untalented Plebes Play!

I was First in the 100 meters!
I was First in the 400 meters!
I was First In the 800 meters!
I was First in the 1500 meters!
I was FIRST in the 3000 meters
I AM Always FIRST!
Yesssss!!

Day Two of The Try-Outs Started ...

5000 meters was Hard - I placed Second
10000 meters was Harder - I placed Third
BUT
At least I had Three of The Wins IF if I was in The Decathlon!
I AM The Winner!
I will Win This Whole Thing!

Big Words from He Who Knows Not
What's around The Corner!

Big Words from He Who Thinks 
He Knows The Final Score!

Big Words from He Who Is 
Facing Elimination
If He Does Not Put Self At The Garbage Chute Door!

Surprise! 
Surprise!
I Got Me A Surprise!
The Head of The Trials
Gave Me The Surprise!
I Am Entered for The Decathlon!
Surprise!
Surprise!
SURPRISE?!

... CONFUSED!!

I Lived by My Speed!
I Make Other Runners Wheeze!
I Bring Other Runners
Humbled
To Their Knobbly Wobbly Knees!

I Run Other Runners Into The Ground
AND
I Will Do It Again E'er Long!

OR ... SO I THOUGHT!!

110 meter Hurdles!
High Jump!
Long Jump!
Pole Vault!
I Hurt So Badly
I Felt Like An Old Frump!

Shot Put!
Discus Throw!
Javelin Throw!
Lord Jesus, Help Me!
I Can Not Take Anymore!

AND ... THEN

Lord God Almighty
This Cannot Be True!
These Mad People Want Me
To Run A Full Marathon
On This Day Two, Too!

What Do They Think That I Am Made Of?
Iron?
Brass?
Even I Know That A Marathon
Is Not Run Fast!

Distance!
Long Distance!
Hill Climb!
Slippery Slope!
I Even Had To Run Around
A Big-Horned Rough Goat
Who Seemed To Really Like Me -
He's Running Toward Me Again!

Lord Jesus, Have Mercy
Is All That I Have The Energy To Pray!

I Am Out Of This Race!
I Cannot Go On!
I Have No Inner Resources!
My Resistance Is All Gone!

I Ran The Race
As If It Was A Sprint of Mine
Forgetting
Forgetting
That Long Distance
Calls For Time
AND
Endurance
AND
Resistance
AND
Energy Reserves
AND
Systems For Performing
Against Unexpected Inclines
AND Gully Washers
You Know? The Unexpected Deluge
Of Cold Rain
AND
Bramble Bushes Grabbing 
Ripping Flesh and Causing Pain
AND
Evil Goats
With Taste Buds
For Eating The Overconfident
Runner's Pants
Leaving Said Puffed-Up Runner
Calling For His Mummy
In A Seriously Off-key Note!

I Returned To The Point of Starting
Humbled
Tired
Hurt
Angry
Disappointed
Confused
Chagrined
Upset at The Folly
At Self The Race Leading!

I Spoke As A New Man
Repentant Of Old Ways!
I Asked For Opportunity
To Run For The Home In The Clouds
BUT
I Was Told That
I Could Run The Race
BUT
To Win
My Heart To The King
Must Be Bowed Down!

I Must Not Be Prideful!
I Must Not Pout!
I Must Humble My Self!
I Must Follow The Directions
That The King Himself Handed Out!

I Must Internalize The Teachings!
The Teachings Must Guide Me On The Way!
I Must Repair Often To The King The Master
AND
I Must To The Heavenly Father Constantly Pray!

I Must Practice Self-Denial!
I Must Yearn For The Win
Which Has Already Been Won
For Those Who 
To The Living Almighty God 
Reverently Bow Down!

I Must Resist The Damned Devil
Which The Master Himself Did Defeat
AND
I Must Resist and Resist
For That Devil Is A Murderous Cheat
Who Has Not Compunction
About Creating Cross Winds
To Bring Storms Out Of Quiet
And Marauders Who Are Friends Turned About!

I Must Start The Day With The Master!
I Must Make The Master Throughout The Day Mine!
I Must Let The Holy Spirit Guide and Lead Me
No Matter Where The Self Would Me Incline!
I Must - Even When I Fall Down -
Acknowledge Call God
My Lord Divine
And Know
A Guardian Angel - Excelling In Strength
Is Protecting This Body of Mine!

And ...

Even When That Slithering Wild Rough Goat
Has Trampled Kicked Bitten Butted Me 
Where It Truly Hurts The Most
I Must Resist
Resist Him In The Name Of The King The Master
And Sing
Sing for Jesus
Even If All I Have Is 
Piercing High Quiet Low Pained Inaudible Notes!

Time Has Passed Is Passing!
I Am Running For The Win
In The Championship Race!
I Am Running How The King The Master Stipulated!
I Am Running With Mercy By Grace
For I Do Not This Race Alone Face!

The Race Is Ongoing!
I Must Run With Patience
For
I Am Running One Day At A Time!

I Am Running A Race Of Resistance
For
The Pacer Is My God - The Great God - The Divine!

I May Exit My Race By My Death
Before The Race Itself Does End
BUT
I Know That I Will Win The Gold Crown
For
Jesus Christ - The King The Master
Is Carrying Me 
Is Carrying Me To Victory
For My Home In Glory On This Depends!

Fool and Die Religion!






Factory Faith Kills!
Faith Of and In King Jesus 
Stills The Storms 
and 
The Seeking Heart Fills!


At the Religiosity Factory
Knowledge of The Truth is Proscribed
By Minds in The Hive
Of Him Who Wears The Light as Disguise.

In The Knowledge Vacuum
No one Designated as Faithful
Is Permitted to Know ... For Certain Sure
That Jesus Christ - The Door
Made Public - and Free - for Those Seeking The Peaceful Shore
Sacrifice Standard, Paid-in-Full
Lamb's Blood Level
Salvation Vouchers!

Salvation Is Free To Anyone Who Will Believe on The Glorious Name!

The Masters of The Unique Verse
Those Liars who After Sin Constantly Do Thirst
Grabbing Hold of The Lie
That 
Lucifer Satan and Jesus Christ are Power-Reversed
Sell A Bill of False Goods to Those who would in Their Lives
Let The Working of The True Holy Spirit
 Reverse The Death Curse!

The Love of The Holy God is Denied
The Efficacy of The Death of Christ is Belied
The Need of Confession and Repentance is Circumscribed
The Fact of The Need to Accept God's Free Grace is - like shrimp - Butterflied
In order for Certain Damnation and Calculated Destruction
At The Appointed Time 
May Collide!

The Holy and
The Profane
The Rich and
The Poor
The Foolish and
The Wise
The Sinner and
The Saint
The Weak and
The Strong
All Need to Think Hard and Look Long for
Jesus Christ - The Conquering King - is Coming Down!

Trust God's Truth or
Trust Satan's Lie
Jesus Christ does not sell
Pie in The Sky
But Satan, Old Roaring Lion de Liar, Satan
Is Desirous that You with him Should Eternally Die!

So Get Out of The Religiosity Manufactured Bible Knowledge Factory
Repair to Jesus Christ
Who Died for Us on Mount Calvary!
No Truth or Dare Picking of Game Categories!
No Need to Use 
Amulet 
Phylacteries
Disguise
Nor Spies
To Know that God
Cannot Fail nor Tell Lies!

Reach Out
Call Out
To Jesus Christ
Otherwise
You will Ball Out
At Your Eternal Demise
When The King from Zion
Bursts The Skies
As All Heaven Rides
Victoriously
To Claim Christ's Faithful
Glorified Bride!


Don't be A Factory Faith Fool!

Get Out King James' Bible School Chapter Book
Map and Directory
and 
Prayerfully Read 
John 3:16 and, indeed Verse 17
Then 
1 John Chapter 5
(Again Read Verses 11-13... Slowly)
Then ... Bow your head in Prayer
And Give God All Glory, Honor and Praise!
