Stop Stifling Your Blessings! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Help Us To Stop Robbing Ourselves ...!

 

 




How Often Have We Said In Our Own Hearts 
And
Into The Ears Of Others That 
The Lord Doesn't Answer Our Prayers!?! 

Beloved, 

Now Is The Perfect Time 
To Take A Personal Inventory Of Cause And Effect 
And
Cease From Maligning The Name Of God 
For Our Cock-Ups! 

When We Cherish Malice 
And 
Self-Righteously 
Indulge Unforgiveness In Our Hearts Against Others
Our Prayers Become An Abomination To The Holy God 
And
We Personally Hinder Our Sought-After Blessings 
From Being Poured Out! 

When We Say The Lord's Prayer 
Asking The Lord To Forgive Us Our Debts 
As We Forgive Our Debtors
We Receive Exactly What We Ask For 
According To The Condition Of Our Hearts! 

The Heart Of Faith 
Emulates Christ In His Earthly Sojourn! 

Faith ... Which Is Tied To Love
Does Not Desire Its Own Way 
And
Neither Does It Bear Malice 
And
Cherish Unforgiveness By Indulgence! 

We Are All Guilty Before The Holy God 
But
We Can Be Made Clean! 

We Need The Abundant Good Blessings Of Holiness 
From The Hand Of The Living God 
- Whom We Seek To Diligently Serve -
So Please Let Us Cast Our Burdens Upon The Lord
- Our Burden-Bearer -
And
Plead To Be Blessed ... To Be Blessings! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Please Forgive  Us
And
Cleanse Us 
And
Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit Upon Us
Even As We Repent
And
Confess Our Known Sin! 

Father, 
You Have Told Us In The Great Law
"Thou Shalt Not Steal!" 
And 
We Wax Poet Telling All Who Will Listen
How Moral And Holy And Obedient We Are
When We Daringly Execute
Day And Nightime Robberies
Against Our Own Souls
When We Ask A Blessing Of You
And
At The Same We Hold Grudges
Bear Malice
And
Practice Unforgiveness In Our Hearts
And Thereby 
Personally Rob Our Own Selves
Of
Your Good And Perfect Gifts
Already Packaged And Wrapped
Labeled And Shipped
But
Rendered Undeliverable
Because Of Our Foul Spirit 
Boldly Blocking Our Windows And Doors 
To Your Beautiful And Bountiful Gifts Of Love, Light 
And
Blessings Unimaginable! 

Pity Us, Lord! 
Heal Our Hurts And Our Hearts!
Hold Our Heads And Our Hands
And
Help Us To Surrender All That
Separates Us Sinners From You
The Holy God Of Mercy, Goodness And Grace
And
Also Help Us To Seek After All The Beauty That 
Comes Of Living In The Light Of Love And Holiness! 

Please Pity Us: Hear Our Heartfelt Prayer! 
Please Help Us To Stand Firm In Saving Truth
And 
Walk In The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

Please Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We, Convicted Of Sin
And
Convinced Of Righteousness 
Humbly, Willing To Be Saved, Plead! 
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire To Be Home ... With You!



Hebrews 11:6 Inspirational Image


I Believe Your Word
And No Matter What The World Says, Dear Father
I Need You In My Life! 

I See And Understand My Need 
And Recognize And Accept That 
I Cannot Fight The Battle Against Sin And Self Alone 
And Expect To Survive The Carnal Strife! 

I Am A Child Needing The Guidance Of 
My Wise And Loving Father! 
I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus 
Eager To Learn The Only Holy Way! 
I Am A Worker In The House Of My Lord 
Needing Direction
Satisfied To Labor For Eternal Pay 
And Sure That What You Say 
Will Never Cause Me From Grace And Goodness To Stray! 

Without You, Lord
I Am Lost, Lonely, Alone
Twice Dead
Condemned And Damned 
And So, Dear Father
I Choose To Accept Your Gifts Of Love, Life
Grace, Goodness
Salvation, Security
Faith, Food
And The Blessings Of Truth And Godly Trust! 

Teach Me, Feed Me, Guide Me
Correct And Comfort Me
And Lead Me Gently, Safely And Securely To Pastures Green 
Where Still Waters Flow! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Pray And Humbly Plead 
Because The Desire Of My Heart Is For Home
Forever
On The Golden Shore: 
I Find My Rest In You! 
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Body Blows ... And Saving Grace!



Image result for happy sabbath blessing


In His Conversation With Almighty God
As Regards Job
- A Perfect And Upright Man
Who Feared God And Eschewed Evil
According To The Holy God's Words Of Approbation -
Satan Boldly Declared His Tactics Utilized
To Destroy A Person's Faith In His Creator
Provider, Savior, Redeemer
And
One True Friend!

Satan's Artillery ...

Destroy Faith By Destroying Possessions
Family
Relationships
The Faith Of Those Bound To Us
By The Silken Cords Of Affection
And Then
One's Health Without Which 
- According To The Unbeliever -
We Are Of No Practical Use 
To The Eternal God Of Present Grace
And
Glory To Come! 

The Living Record Proves That Working Faith Wins!

Hear The Right ...


Image result for deuteronomy 13 4 kjv


In This One Verse Is Found All The Actions That 
We Need To Perform Towards Jesus Christ The Lord, Our God
If 
We Are To Thwart Satan
In Our Desire To Reach The Glorious Kingdom: 
Walk, Fear, Keep, Obey, Serve, Cleave Aka Cling! 

We Are To Worship Our Almighty God With Our Everything
By Thought, Word And Deed 
Whether It Is Convenient, Practical, Profitable
And 
Popular ... Or Not! 

As The Business Analogy For Commitment Goes
To Get Bacon And Eggs 
The Pig Committed 
But The Chicken Participated! 
One Had Skin In The Game!

Satan
That Unclean, Malevolent, Damned Spirit
Is 
Committed To Your Destruction! 
He Is Not Going To Spare You:
He Has Nothing To Lose!
He Has Nothing Profitable To Gain!
Destroying You Is A Freebie
Because
You Are Loved By The Lord Christ!

Jesus Christ, The Giver Of Life
Has Skin, Sweat, Blood, And Tears
In The Not-A-Game Game Of Life! 
He Already Gave His Precious Life's Blood For You: 
Commit To Him! 
Your Body Blows Received And Well Borne ... In Faith
Are Your Badges Of Honor!

Put The Rod Of 
Faith-Filled Prayer In Your Spine ...

Stand Up For Jesus In All Things 
And 
Be Blessed With Eternal Life! 
Keep Yourself From Idols
The Ignorance Of Doubt And Disbelief
The Idolatry Of Presumptuous Sin
And
Cease Your Wandering
And
Your Wondering! 

Wander No More:
Wanderers Follow The Prevailing Winds ... Of Change!
There Is No Variableness
Or Shadow Of Turning In Almighty God!

And

Wonder No More: Jesus Christ, Alone
Saves And Seals
And
Heals Our Griefs And Hurts, And Sorrows
And
Reveals All That Will See Us Arriving Safely
In The Never-Ending Day!

Jesus Christ Is Salvation!
Jesus Christ Sacrificially Loves His Children:
You Are A Child Of Christ The King! 
You Are Blessed Beyond Measure:
Acknowledge It Boldly
And
Walk Holy! 

Your Father ... Our Father ... Is Coming! 
Get Ready And Stay Ready! 
A Glorified, Immortalized, Incorruptible Body
- Just Like Our Lord Christ's -
Awaits The Enduring Overcomers:
You Get A New Gift-Supply Every Day
So Keep The Holy Faith By Using Your Daily Faith! 

Peace!

STEPPING OUT ... IN FAITH: Jesus Christ Saves!




There's A Notorious, Demonic
Counterfeit Of Faith That Many Of Us Practice 
And 
Don't Even Know It! 

It's Presumption 
And 
It Can Lead To Deadly Consequences! 
Adam And Eve 
Presumed Upon Their Creator's Great Love For Them
To Save Them From Their Great Disobedience: 
It Didn't 
And 
We Are Living Out The Results Of Their Sin! 

Our Faith Claims God's Promises 
And 
Obeys His Word 
And 
Does His Will! 

Our Presumption Claims The Promises
Expects The Gifts
And 
Deliberately Disobeys God 
Daring Him To Protect Us From Our Own Folly!

We Should Not Tempt Almighty God! 

We Need To Be Faithful To Be Blessed! 

Let's Think Straight
To Be Wise ...

If Stepping Out In Faith
Is 
To Step Into The Unknown
And
You Are Sacrificially Loved And Blessed By
And
Personally Know 
And
Are Personally Known By 
The One God Holy Who Makes The Unknown, Known
And
Who Has Promised In His Own Blood
To Never Leave You Nor Forsake You
How Can Your Stepping Out In Faith 
Be Stepping Into The Unknown!?!

He Has Said Via The Inspired Word:





As Christians, We Are Asked, Called
To Live By Faith ... Not By Presumptuous Sight!
We Are Called To Trust 
In The Unseen, Holy, Eternal
Faithful, Just, Kind, Merciful
Giving, Forgiving
Saving, Healing
Sealing, Revealing
Blessing ... All-Knowing
All-Seeing, Ever-Present
All-Feeling Creator, Redeemer, Friend-To-The-End
God Of Grace
Our Provider And Sustainer!

Since Our God Is
And
Is Real
Having Been To See Us
And
To Show Us The Way To Live To Be Blessed
And
Revealed The Right Way To Pray
And
Having Died To Save Us
Still Lives
And
Is Presently Interceding
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
Is Soon To Return ... He Promised
For A People ... His People
Prepared And Ready To Go To His Home
Where He Has, Is Preparing, Places For Them
Why Would We Choose ... It Is A Choice
To Doubt Him At His Living And Preserved Word
Which Is A Transcript Of 
His Holy, Unchanging, Character!?!

His Mercies Showered Upon Us
Are New Every Morning!

The Lord God Almighty
Cares For All Of His Creatures
But
We Are Special:

We Are The Only Ones
Who Are Made In His Image
After His Likeness
And
We Are The Only Ones
Who Have Sinned Against His Holy Name
And
We Are The Only Ones
The Only Created Beings
For Whom ... In Sacrificial Love
He Willingly Bled 
And
Died To Save
Because
His Holy Love
Could Not ... Cannot ... Let Us Go To Damnation!

Soooo, What's With The Doubt Thingie!?!

You Just Made My Point! 

Huh!?! How!?! 

You Clearly Said: "Doubt Thingie! "
That's Like Thingamabob, Thingamajig, A Whatever
Not Worthy Of Its True Handle
It's Real Name! 

I Didn't Mean Anything By It! 
It's Just An Expression! 

Oh, Really!?!
How's About We Don't Call Sin
By Its First And Last Name
And Just Call It Cheese Danish
Chocolate Eclair
Apple Butter!?! 

You Can't Do That! 

And Why Not, Pray Tell!?! 

That Would Be Denigrating
The Holy Word Of God
And Giving Sinners Needing The Savior 
The Foolish Belief That Sin Ain't No Big Deal! 
Just Eat It ... And Get On About
Your Own Business! 
It Ain't No Biggie! 

That's Sliding Down A Slippery Slope! 

Yeah! 
One Gentle Push
And Off To Hell You Go! 

Oh, Dear! 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves!

We Need To Confess And Repent Of Our Sin!
We Need To Have Contrite Hearts
And
We Need, Now, Today
From Known Sin To Aggressively Depart!
Doubting Damns So From Doubting We Must Depart!

Jesus Christ Saves ... To The Uttermost!


Know The Right ...


By Faith
No Sin Is Too Low To Confess
No Sorrow Too Great For His Comfort!
No Need Is Too Broad For Satisfaction
And
No Hope Is Too Far-Fetched To Fulfil
According To His Will
Because
Jesus Christ Says That
We Are His Own By Creation
And
By Redemption
And
That We Do Not Travel In This Dark World Alone!

Jesus Christ The King Calls!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Answers!
Jesus Christ The Redeemer ... Saves!
The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides And Comforts
And
The Holy Angels Surround And Protect
And
Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right! 

We Should Dare To Be Bold
On This Pilgrim Journey! 
Our God Is Real, Reigning, And Returning! 
Our Savior Is Righteous And Redeeming! 
Our Redeemer Is Revealing And Sealing! 
Our Creator Is Providing And Sustaining! 
Our Shepherd Is Leading And Feeding! 
The Lord Christ ... Prince Shiloh
Is 
Our Perfect Peace! 

Brethren,

Salvation By Faith Is Personal
So I Speak For Myself
And 
With The Attitude Of The Saints
Who Have Gone To Their Rest:

My God Is Real! 
Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him! 
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
And 
If Almighty God Is For Me
Who Could Be Against Me!?! 

Before His Glorious Throne Of Grace

Let Us, In Working, Waiting, Watching, Faith
Humbly, Expectantly, Enduringly
Kneel Before Our Maker And Our God Eternal!

Jesus Christ Promised Me A Home In His Father's House
And
By His Grace
I Intend To Collect My Deed! 

We Have Choices To Make:

Feed On Foolishness From The Fiend And Fry

Or

Eat From The Hand Of The Shepherd Of Rest
And
In The Appointed Day ... With Him Leading
To Hill Zion Fly! 

Believe And Live! 

Doubt And Die! 

I'm Heading To The Sweet By And By!

TALKING A LOT AND DOING NOTHING: Time To Exercise Faith!

... I Have A Bible!

Do You Read It!?!

I Wear A Cross!

Do You Bear Your Cross!?!

I Talk To God!

Do You Listen To God!?!

I Follow The Rules!?!

Do You Follow The Laws Of God!?!

I Am A Child Of God!

Are You A Servant Of God!?!

I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus!

Are You Becoming Like Jesus!?!

Brethren,

We Can All Say Something Nice
About Our Relationship With Almighty God
But
Is Our Something Satisfactory, Pleasing, To The Lord
Or Does It Excite Satan, The God-Fraud!?!

Oh, Dear!

Nice Expression But Ain't Worth A Lot!
Nice Expression That Can Lead To The Blot!
Nice Expressions Don't Lead To God's Favor
Unless That Expression 
Is
Based And Built Upon Righteousness
And
Gives Off A Heavenly Savor!

Oh, Dear!

Oh, Dear, Indeed!

We All Talk A Good Deal
And
We Say All The Right-Sounding Words
But
Our Thoughts Prior Are Terrible
And
Our Subsequent Actions Are Abominable!

Do You Realize That Not One Of Us Said That
We Are Faithful
Living By Faith
Walking Under The Banner Of The Lord Christ
And
Striving Not To Be A Cast Out Disgrace!?!

I Noticed That No One Said Anything
About Endurance 
About Enduring All Things For The Lord
About Seeking To Gain The Mastery Over Self
About Denying The Works Of The Devil
About Overcoming Sin
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Who Died Sickeningly To Save Us All ...!

... And Don't Nobody Say "Oh, Dear!"
We Are All Guilty!

Friends, Let's Get Real!
We Could Spend All Night At This "Funeral"
But If We Don't Seek To Change
Our Real Funeral Will Be In The Lake Of Fire!

Chrissy, You Said Earlier That
You Talk To God But That You Don't Know
What It Is That You Should Be Hearing For An Answer!

Yes, I Did!
I Often Wonder What Is The Voice I'm Hearing
Because The Very Thing I Ask For Help Not To Do
Is The Very Thing I End Up Doing ...!

... Because 
You Are Relying On Your Self
And
Not On The Word Of The Living God!

The Living, Holy, Word Of The Eternal God
Is Never 
Contradicted By The Voice Of
The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth ... Of The Eternal God!

AMEN!!!

Okay!
Let's Talk Turkey Aka Jesus Christ's Gift To Us!






The Lord Gives Unto Each Of Us 
A Daily Measure Of His Faith ... For That Day
And 
The Strength To Exercise It ... To Work It
Because 
Faith Without Work Is Dead! 

Living By Faith Is Hard
And
Easy
And 

A Necessity! 

We Are Saved By God's Grace 
Through The Exercising Of Our Gift Of Faith 
So Let Us Dare To Trust The Lord At His Word
And
Obey Him
And
Walk Boldly In His Light 
To Receive Our Sure Blessings Today
And
Every Day! 

Blessings Always Await The Faithful!

Remember Old Sister Cheryl's Prayer:


Oh, Lord!
Please Work On Me!
Please Work With Me!
Please Work Through Me!
Please Work For Me!
Please Work By Me ... Forever!

The One Thing I Would Correct About That Prayer
Is The Line Which Says:


Please Work With Me!

Why Would You Correct That Line!?!

Simple:

If The Lord Is Working With Us 
To Help Us To Avail Ourselves Of His Blessings
And
We Do Not Cooperate With Him
We Achieve Nothing!

I Get Your Point
So I Would Now Pray, Saying:


Dear Lord,
Please Help Me To Work With You
And
Please Help Me
To Energetically Utilize
My Daily Gift Of Faith
And
To Wholly, Enduringly
Cooperate With You
To The Saving Of My Purchased Soul
And
To Bless Others
In Jesus Christ's Matchless, Holy, Name!

AMEN!!!

INCOMING: Strange!


Almighty God's Great Grace 
Is 
Free
To All Who Choose To Believe
And
Not To Those Who Choose
To Let Themselves
By Satan Be Deceived!


Something "Strange"
Is 
Afoot On This Planet!
What It Is!?!
I Cannot Fathom It:

  • A Tangerine Alligator
  • A Green Puppy
  • A Three-Parent Baby
  • A Hubby That Is A Mummy And A Daddy!
  • A Son Who Is A Daughter And A Boy And A Girl Choosing The Day Of The Week To Decide Which Day Will See Their Cute Curls!


What's Wrong With Being Satisfied With What You've Got!?!
What's Wrong With Make-Do!?!
What's Right About A Green Baby Dog!?!
Who Painted That Alligator Tangerine!?!
Was It Perhaps You Know Who!?!

This Would All Be Hysterically Funny
If 
It Was Not A Crying Shame
But
Forgive Me
Because 
I Forgot That I ... Being Regular Normal
Believing The God Of Heaven
Living By Holy Faith
Trusting In The Merits Of The Shed Blood Of Jesus Christ
And
Striving For The Mastery
That Purchased Victory Over Sin
Is 
The One Who Is Now Regularly Called Strange!
I Know I Don't Have The Mange!

I Don't Know What Will Happen
Five Minutes From Now
But
I Do Know That The Lord Christ Is Soon Coming!
I Also Know That There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
So ... Look Out, World!
The Unbelievably Different
The Strangely Weird
The Spectacularly Mind-Blowing
The Awe-Inspiring
The Down-Right Demonic 
Is
On The Horizon
And
Even Now
Is 
Already Showing Its Benighting Face!


Have You ... By Living Faith
Availed Yourself 
Of
Almighty God's
Can't-Fail
Presently Available
 Saving Grace!?!

**--**--**--**--**

Are You Trusting
The Sight Of Your Lying Eyes
And
Crediting Signs
And
Unimaginable Wonders
As
The Working Of The Living God
Instead Of
The Sure And Secure
"Thus Saith The Lord!?!"
