OXYMORON: A Lazy Christian And A Good Devil ...!?!

 

 




Our Shepherd Known Good
Is 
The Lord Most High! 

Our Adversaries Are Self, Sin And Satan: 
We Must Vigorously Deny Them! 

Our Mission 
Is 
To Acquire The Character Of Christ 
And 
Preach And Teach The Truth ... The Gospel
- The Good News -
To All The World 
And
Be Ready To Meet The Lord ... Our Beautiful Savior
In Peace! 

We Have Heaven To Gain! 
We Have The Holy Spirit For Our Comfort ... For Our "Use" 
The Holy Angels To Influence Us And Protect Us
And 
The Good Book For Our Compass
School Book
Pillow
Road Map
And 
Blanket, Sword And Shield

And

We Are To Occupy Ourselves Aka Work 
Until Jesus Christ Comes! 

For Your Information ... 

A Lazy Christian ... Just Like A Good Devil
Is 
An Oxymoron 
So Let Us Be Wise Unto Salvation 
And 
Live In The Light Of Life 
And 
Be Light-Bearers 
And 
Salt-Shakers In This Dark And Tasteless World 
Where Neutrality 
And 
Conformity To Abnormality 
Is 
Prized By The Vocal Majority 
And 
The Monied Minority! 

Beloved, 

You Are The Child Of The Glorious King! 
Dare To Live 
And 
Lovingly Labor 
Like You Know And Believe It!
 
Don't Compromise With Sin 
For Neither Rest Nor Riches: 
Jesus Christ Is Our Perfect Peace 
And 
Our Eternal Rest! 
Heaven ... Our Eternal Home
Has Streets That Are Paved With Gold!

Peace!

Praying Useless Against Corona Virus!?! + PRAYER: Father, We Need A Cure Against The Corona Virus!



No Prayer, No Power!


For All Of You That Think That All Christians Do Is Pray
I Bid You Look At The Book Of Exodus Chapter 14 Verse 15
And 
From Your Misconception See That You Walk Away!

There Is A Time For Everything That Is Found Under Sun
And
There Will Be Time Always, Always
When To Almighty God's Son, Our Only Savior That 
We Should, With Alacrity, Run!

Brethren, 

Take No Heed Of Those Who Say That
"Praying Serves No Purpose!"
And
See To It That 
You Roundly Ignore Those Who Say Maliciously:

Pray, If You Must, I Encourage You
But Know For Sure That In This Matter 
Your God Can't Help You: Science Holds The Door! 

On Point Of Order, I Beg To Differ
And 
Clearly Say Without Hesitation That
The Living God To Whom I Pray
Is 
The Creator God Who Can And Does Bless
And
Who, With Pleasure, Encourages Us To Pray 
Because
He, Alone, Is Able To Bless!
His Word You May Freely Trust! 

Many Are The Things We Would Receive ... If We Prayed! 
Many Are The Sorrows We Would Have Avoided
If, By The Prayer Of Faith
We Permitted The Almighty God
To Gently, Safely, Lead The Way! 

Moses And The Israelites Were On The Horns Of A Dilemma! 
Moses Was Exercising Faith Through Prayer
And
The Lord Said: Get Up
And 
Do Something Aka Lead The People On The Way!
Just In Case You Don't Catch My Drift: Faith Works! 

Humble Prayer ... In The Hand Of Faith
Unlocks Heaven Infinite Storehouse 
Wherein Is Found The Best Blessing Needed ... Always!

Brethren, Beloved

We, As Nations, Kindreds, Tongues And Peoples
Are In A Planet-Wide Struggle For Survival! 
Please Ignore The Naysayers, The Doubters
Those Indulging Disbelief
Those Mockers, The Scoffers, The Naysayers
The Downright Demonic
And
Humbly Pray To The God Who Is The I AM
And
Is Not Like The False Gods Who, Being Useless
Force Obedience And Worship
Against The Free Will Given To Every Man
By The Eternal God! 

Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King
Is Not 
A Plaster Saint
Nor One Made Wood, Stone
Gold, Silver, Silver, Iron
Precious Stone 
Nor Composite Iron And Clay! 


PRAYER:


Please Help Us, Lord
To Truly See Our Desperate Need! 
Help Us To Be Humble And Faithful! 
Help Us To Repair Unto You
At The Throne Of Grace
Where We Will Find Grace To Help Us
In This Our Time Of Need! 

Father,
You Give To Every Man Faith By Measure! 
Please Help Us To Excercise
Our Gift Of Daily Faith
To Practice Willing Obedience
And 
To Walk With The Endurance
Born Of Hope
Trusting Him Who Is The Living Word
And
Believing The Word Of Truth And Promise
For The Craved Blessing
Already On The Wing
The Answer To Fervent Prayer
For A Sure Cure
Against The Corona Virus
Which We Cannot Endure!

Father,
Please Pity Us, And Have Mercy!
Help Us To Confess And Repent
Of Known Sin
Turning Away From The Evil
To Do The Good And The Right
So That We May Be Saved And Blessed
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Humbly, Importunately
Pray And Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN.


Praying Is Doing! 
Pray For Wisdom
Pray For Foresight So That You Will Have Insight! 
Pray For Strength To Act
And 
Opportunity To Perform! 

The Eternal God Who Says:
"Children, Pray Without Ceasing!"
Is 
The Same God Who Provides All Things For His Children! 

Seek Him ... And You Will Find Him!
Knock, Knock, Knock ... And His Gate Will Be Opened To You!
Ask Him ... According To His Will For What You Need! 

The Lord Provides! 


Image result for hebrews 3:12-13 kjv


Righteousness Exalts A Nation: 
Sin Destroys A Nation ... A Family, A Person! 

Unbelief Is Knowing Truth ... Right
And 
Willfully Disregarding Them! 
Unbelief Is Sin! 

Unbelief Is Deadly 
Because
It Is A Knowing Choice: 
The Wage Paid For Sin Is Death! 

Beloved, 

We Are All Sinners 
But 
We All Have The Will To Choose 
To Be Saints Of God And Christ 
By Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
And 
Turning To The Lord Christ 
Believing His Word
Trusting His Promises 
And
Walking In His Way
Under His Kindly Light
Which Leads To Eternal Life 
In The Heavenly Realm! 

You Have A Daily Ration Of Faith: Use It Liberally
And 
Be Infinitely Blessed! 
Peace!


The Devil Is The Liar!

PRAYER: We Need Your Certain Help, Lord!





Thank You, Dear Father
For My Personal Invitation
To Come Boldly Into Your Presence
At The Throne Of Grace
Where Truth Abides
Where Grace, Sufficient, Is Found 
Where Mercy Is Free
Where Light Is Life
Where My Heart Is At Home!
I Willingly Give You My Praise
And Bow Before You In Loving Worship!

Lord, I Come Burdened For My Brethren
Your People Desiring To Reach The Heavenly Home
And Called To Live As Light And Salt
To Bless The People Of The Earth! 

Father,
The Light Is Dimming
And The Salt Is Losing Its Taste
And We Are Becoming As The World Is
Conformed And Conforming
To The Likes And Tastes Of A Dying World
Where Sexual Appetites Are Of The Inconvenient Form
And Now, Lord
Even A Christian Pastor, An Under-Shepherd
And His Wife
Are, According To The Modern Vernacular, Out
And Openly, Pridefully, Actively, Bisexual
Openly Unashamed, Unafraid, Unconcerned
For What Says The Living Holy Word
And The Baleful Effects Upon The Brethren
Who Are By Your Great Grace
Seeking To Stay On The Strait And Narrow Path
To The Living Kingdom
To Beulah Land!

Dear God, Please Help Us! 

Where Is The Walking In The Light!?!
Where Is The Living In Self-Denial!?!
Where Is The Honest Acknowledgement Of Known Sin!?!
Where Is The Ready Willingness 
To Call Real Sin By Its Real Name!?! 

Why Are We Not Permitting Ourselves 
To Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Our Minds!?!
Why Are We Choosing To Wallow 
In The Cesspit Of Known Sin
Eating The Food That The Pigs Do Eat
Instead Of Coming Home To You
To Be Embraced By Your Love
To Be Clothed In Your Best Robe
- Your Righteousness -
To Have Your Ring Of Godly Approval
- The Signet Of Our Status In You -
Placed Upon Our Lives
So That We Are Welcome In The Beloved
And Are Accepted Guests Of Honor 
At The Glorious Celebration!?!
Lord, Have Mercy Upon Us! 

Please, Lord,
Protect The Innocent From The Guilty!
Help Us To See Our True And Known-Condemned Condition
- Absent The Lord Christ -
So That We Will Sigh And Cry 
For The Abominations In The World And The Church!

We Need Your Certain Help, Lord!
Please Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Upon Us
And Heal Us As We Confess And Repent
Else We Shall Surely Perish
For, Says The Living Word
Judgment Begins In Your House
The House Of The Holy God!

Pity Us, Lord, 
And Save Us From Our Sin
For You Surely Shall Not Save Us In Our Sin
As Is Now Being Popularly Preached 
And Lovingly Embraced, Gratefully, Unwisely
By A Gainsaying Church With Itching Ears
Attaching To Itself Unrighteous Preachers And Teachers
Sold Out To Sin For Filthy Lucre
Power, Prestige And Toys
And For Idolatrous Worship
From A People Unwilling To Work Their Daily Gift Of Faith
So That You Will Bless Us And Spiritually Prosper Us!

Father,
Please Help Us To Critically Inventory 
Our Stock In Jesus Christ's Salvation!
Help Us To Display And Live Lives Blameless
Holy, Undefiled
In The Presence Of All And For All Who Will Believe
And Honestly Seek Your Divine Hand
And Even In The Presence Of Those
Who Choose The Way Of Lustful Flesh!

Lord, We Seek By Confession And Repentance 
To Be Reformed According The Image Of The Holy Jesus!
Help Us!

The Summer Is Ending
Even Soon To End
So Please, In Pitying Love
Save The Souls Of Those Of Us Will To Be Saved
So That We Are Not Amongst Those
Who Shall Wail And Gnash Their Teeth
Because At The Lord's Coming
They Finally Recognize That They Are Nor Saved!

We Pray, Lord
For A Way Of Grace 
A Way Of Escape From Besetting Sin
From Pet Sin
For The Unbelieving, Disobedient, Illuminated, Ones!

Father,
We Who Are Faithful To The Lord Christ
- The Word Of God Made Flesh
Who Dwelt Among Us
And Is Among Us By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
Willingly Acknowledge That
All Sin Is Lawlessly
And No Sinner High, Lifted Up
Lofty, Adorned, Adored
Sinning Willfully
Shall Enter The Pearly Gates Of Glory
And Ask You To Pity Us, Lord!
Protect Our Eyes
For We Are Changed By Beholding!
Protect Our Hearts
For Out Of Them Come The Issues Of Life!

We Need You Now!
Please Save Us As You Did Lot And Joseph
And Moses
Who Chose To Suffer With The People Of God
Than To Enjoy The Pleasures Of Sin For A Season!

Help Us To Be Like King David
Who Abjectly Repented Of Known Sin
And Choose Not To Sin Again With His Eyes
Nor In His Heart, Nor Physically!

Please Accept Our Prayer, Dear Father
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Humbly, Without Ceasing
Believing Your Living, Holy, Word
In Unwavering Faith, Pray! 
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN!

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.

DUD and FOB!

D oubt!
U nbelief!
D isobedience!

The Unholy Triumvirate
Are Poised
Dressed 
Positioned
AND
Practiced Past-Masters
At Sending The Seeking Sinner Man
To The Not-Necessary Fate!

F aith!
O bedience!
B elief!
 

The Holy Triumvirate
Stand Pristine
Alert
Urging Mankind
To Take The Path Of The Truly Blessed
For Known Godly Success!

DUD And FOB 
Are 
Two Three-Legged Stools
Two Paths
AND
Two Thought Schools
With
One Successfully Leading The Unrepentant Sinner 
To Damnation
AND
One Successfully Leading The Repentant Sinner 
To Salvation!

One Is Led By The Holy!
One Is Driven By The Profane!
One Lifts Up The Fallen!
One Ties The Fallen With Chains!

One Blinds The Eye To Truth!
One Lightens The Eye Through Truth!
One Runs Wild
AND
One Stands From Sin Aloof!

Look And See ...

Two Three-Legged Stools
Two Deliberate Sitters-Down
One Sits And Falls
AND
In His Own Filth He Crawls! 

The Other One Sits ... Having Believed Trust's Call
AND
Is Succored
By The Maker Of Us All
The Creator Of The Blue Ball
AND
Is Renewed Day By Day
Urged On By The Holy 
No More With Sin To Play!

Behold Two Three-Legged Stools
ABND
Observe That One Two-Legged Man
Standing Betwixt Two Thoughts
In The One Valley Of Decision
Listening
Because He Hears
Thinking
Because He Has Real Fears
AND WATCH

As He Deliberately Makes His Choice
Because He Harkens To The One True-To-Him Voice!

    Which Voice?!
                          Which Voice?!            

Is It DUD?!                                     Was It FOB?!

He Chose The Choice
Where His Freight Is Off-Boarded
Where
Doubt Unbelief Disobedience
Are Egregiously Expelled
AND
The Still Viable Expressive Faith Of The Fathers
Is Wittingly Willfully
Wisely Expressed
Not To Impress Doubting Shouters
But So That The Soul
Is By The Holy God
Blessed!

But ... What Of The Other ...

The Other
That DUD
Was Steamrollered
By The Bold Beelzebub
Who Takes Pleasure
In Acts Of Unrighteousness
Who Encourages Hard-hearted Men
Against The Living God
To Be Continuing-Sinners
With
Love-Of-God Cold
Waivering ... Ever Waivering
Like A Wave Of The Sea Tossed
Until
Until Time Runs Out
Because
The Cup Of Iniquity Is Filled Up
AND
The Soul ... Most Precious
Is
For Eternity ... Lost
Because
- Unlike The Convicted Converted Thief -
He Did Not Trust 
The Evidence Of The Lamb Of God
On Calvary's Cross!

I Choose To Be A FOB 
In The Not-A-Pocket
Of
The Eternal God!

How Now Choose You?

UNBELIEF: Forgiveness + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Believe And Trust Your Word!




Daddy Left!
Momma Lied!
She Loved Daddy Best!
Daddy Died!
She Couldn't Cry!
Drugs!
Alcohol!
Mired By Indulgence In Unapologetic Bad Behavior
AND
Gross Promiscuity, Too
Reality And Commonsense
Had Done A Powder
AND
That Is The Truth!

Rage Builds!
Bitterness Abounds!
No One Can Get Through To Her
AND
He - Forever Wild -
Constantly
Inwardly
At His Self Frowns
AND
In The Day Of His Unmasking
The Dam Bursts
AND
The Language Is Explosive
As He
Flowingly
Does Curse!

Rage!
Hurt!
Sorrow!
Sadness!
They Are All Spent
And He
And She
Two Strangers
Sit On The Same Park Bench
Overwhelmed
Seemingly Cleansed
AND
Each Then Explains
That Self-Hatred
Was The Catalyst
The Root
Of All 
That Brought Them Shame!
Their Hearts Would Not
The Heart Could Not ... Mend!

He Said: 
"Unforgiveness!"
She Said:  
"Unforgiveness!"
Two Strangers!
Same Problem!
What About Me?
What About You?

We Go To God!
We Confess Sin!
We Repent
AND
We Ask For Forgiveness!
God Forgives Us
BUT
We Can't Seem To Forgive Ourselves!
We Can't Seem To Believe
Almighty God ... At His Word!

So ...

We Don't Forgive Ourselves
Even Though We
- By Truth Himself -
Have Been Forgiven
And, So
Crushed
We - In Self-Loathing -
Giddily Go And Join
A Rutting Wild Goat Herd!

God Has A Sea!
Forgetfulness It Is Called!
Our Repented Of Sins
- Forgiven -
Go There
Never By The Living God Holy 
Ever To Be Recalled!

Our God Is The Lord 
Faithful
Eternal
Compassionate
Offering Grace
AND
Mercy
To Me 
AND
To You!
Accept What Is Freely Given
AND 
STOP
Letting Satan Get Away
With
- By Subterfuge -
Trying To Kill You!

God Said
You Are Forgiven!
Believe It!
It's True!
So
Sic The Lord On The Devil!
Trust The Lord!
Forgive Yourself
AND
Walk To Your Heavenly Father!
He Is Holding Out His Hand - Accept It!
He Eternally Cares For You!

Unforgiveness
- Against Self Or Another -
Kills!
Don't Die Twice
Through Unbelief
When The Offer
To Triumphantly Live
In Jesus Christ
Is Freely Available To You!


TRUST GOD!

BELIEVE THE WORD

 and

LIVE!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,
I Pray For A Brother
A Sister
My Self
My Friend
And
The Unknown Other
For We - As One -
Seem Not To Believe
Or Understand
That Our Non-Acceptance
Through Disbelief
Of Your Complete Forgiveness
Your Loving Heart Offends!

Forgive Us Our Doubt!
Help Us To Truly Trust Your Living Word
That For Us
You Do Care!
Forgive Us Our Unbelief
And Help Us The Voice Of Forgiveness To Honor
With Belief
When It, We Do Hear!
Purge Us Of Our Self-Loathing
Which Daily Is Destroying
Trembling Hearts!
Help Us To
In Faith
Call The Devil The Liar That He Is
And
From The Perverseness Of Doubt
To Depart!

You Are God!
Your Word Is Ever True
So When We Say We Love You, Lord
Help Us To Believe
And
Walk In It
If
Indeed
We Will Honor And Bless You!

In Jesus' Name, Dear Lord
Heal Our Hurts
Seal Our Hearts With Love
And
Help Us
From Devilish False Pride
To Studiously Depart!
Grant Us The Promised Victory Over Sin!
AMEN.
