Done De War: Flee Youthful Lusts!

 


It Is Easy-Peasy Pumpkin Squeezy To Tell Somebody To "Be Wise!" 

It Is Easy For Us To Be Wise 
When We Ask Our Lord Jesus To Grant Us 
Wisdom, Insight, Strength, And Endurance 
As We Go Through This Journey Called The Earthly Life 
As We Strive To Reach That Heavenly Land Called Eternal Life! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Never Forget That 
There Is Much That We May Receive Of The Lord 
But
Will Not Receive 
Because 
We Do Not Ask 
And
If We Do Ask
It Is With Wrong Motives 
As In Asking With Lust! 

Dear Ones, 

Lust Is A Four-Letter Dirty Word 
Best Kept Out Of The Mind And Mouth Of A Christian! 

Lust "Elevates" The Thing Lusted After 
To The Denigrated State Of Impurity 
And
Willfully Dishonors The Holy God Who Gives Us Grace 
And
Grants Us The Opportunity To Be Raised Up 
To Share In His Eternal Glory! 

Think About It Like Lusting After The Flesh Of Someone 
Just To Put A Notch On A Bed-Head ... No Marriage Covenant! 

Beloved, 

In The Name Of Our  Lord Jesus
I Sincerely Pray For Each One Of Us 
The Choice Blessing Of The Unseared, Rigorously Active
Secularly Much Despised Guilty Conscience 
Which Is For The Sole Use Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us Into All Saving Truth! 

Consider Yourself A Vehicle
And 
Consider Your Conscience As Maintained By The Holy Spirit 
Your Brakes And Back-Bone And Back-Brace
And
Consider The Holy Spirit Your Perfect Driver 
If
The Lord Jesus Is Your Everlasting Portion! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self 
And 
Don't Make Any Further Use Of 
The Dead Weight That Is Youthful Lust! 
Done De War! 

Peace!

BLIND MAN'S BLUFF: Get Your Eyesight Overhauled!








Ignore
The Counsels Of The Living God
At
Your Own Peril! 


When The Lord Of Life Gives A Vision
It Is A Forward Sight Aka A Heads-Up 
To Bless His Beloved People! 

The Visions Of The Lord 
Give To Us Foresight Aka Long-Range Sight 
So That We Will Have Insight 
Aka A Deep And Necessary Understanding Of People And Things 
To Protect, Help, Hide 
And 
Keep Ourselves From Harm 
So That We Will Be In Perfect Safety! 

Beloved, 

When We Are Plainly Told That 
When There Is No Vision The People Perish
Believe It! 


Carefully Consider This ...

There Is No Vision 
Because 
We Either Refuse To Hear And Heed What The Lord Says 
Or 
The Lord Is Not Speaking 
Because 
We, Willfully Blind, Careless 
And 
Flagrantly Disobedient
Rigidly Refuse To Listen 
To What The Lord Had Formerly Warned Us About 
So That There Is Nothing Left To Be Said! 

Think About It ...

When Our Carnal Eyesight Is Failing Us
We ... With Alacrity
Run To The Ophthalmologist To Be Overhauled 
And 
The Optometrist To Be Fitted For Eyeglasses 
Which Will Return Us To 20/20 Aka Perfect Vision! 

The Lord ... The Word Of The Lord
Gives Unto Us Spiritual 20/20 Vision 
Which Can Never, Ever, Fail Us 
Unless We Fail To Use It! 

If We Are Honest
We Will Give Jesus Christ Glory, Honor And Praise 
When We Humbly Acknowledge That 
We Are The Ones At Fault 
When We, Willfully Blind, Follow Blind Men 
And 
Fall Into The Ditches That Sin Digs For Our Destruction! 
Wise Up And Look Up!

Please, I Beseech Us All
Choose To See The Living Way 
And
Dare To Do The Perfect Will Of The Lord Of Life Today
So That You Will Be Blessed And Saved!
There Are No Winners In Blind Man's Bluff!

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Whom Should He Send!?!



John 9:7 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which ...



Is Your Faith
** Anchored **
In The Lord Of Life!?!


Know The Facts ...

The Obedient Child Of God 
Who Faithfully Goes Where He Is Sent
Always Comes Back Seeing! 

They Receive Eye-Sight
Acquire Insight
Benefit By Foresight
And 
Are Profited By Hindsight! 

Such An One Will Never Be Lost 
Or Suffer Lost 
Or Be Made To Pay Personal Costs 
No Matter Much The Personal Expense
Because 
He Who Sends Us Has Already Paid The Bill In Full! 

Know The Lord ...

Short Hands
Deaf Ears 
And 
A Cold Heart 
Are Not Part Of The Lord's Priceless Portfolio 
Because 
He Is Loving, Kind, Just, Faithful And True 
And, So
Going Where He Sends Is Best 
And, Therefore
Beautifully Beneficial! 

The Lord Of Life Is Asking: 

"Whom Shall I Send!?! 
Who Will Go For Us!?!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Always Polite
To Honestly Answer The Direct Question Posed
So Let's Ask Ourselves Whether We Really Want To Be 
Blessed By Him Whose Blessings Add No Sorrow To Our Lives 

And
Being Truly Satisfied That Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer
Is Also
Our One True Friend Who Offers Eternal Benefits
Let Us Gladly, Boldly, Say To Our Lord, God 
And 
Soon-Returning King 
Who Can Never Fail Of Blessing Us:


"Here Am I, Dear Lord! 
I Am Available To You! 
Commission Me
And
Equip Me For Your Service! 
I Am Willing, Lord! 
Send Me!" 


Remember ... 

He Who Sends You Goes With You 
And
His Holy Angels Are Watching Over You! 

Go In Peace 
And Love 
And Serve 
The Lord Of Life With Humility! 
The Commendation
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 
Awaits You! 


Keep Your Spirits High
With Thoughts Of The Truth
That Is No Pie In The Sky:
Anywhere With Jesus
I Can Safely Go!!

PROFIT And LOSS: Insight And Foresight!! + Prayer





If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up This World Now
To Gain Heaven Later
I Also Get The Earth Made New ... Later
AND
I Get Both ... Forever!

My Present Loss By Foresight
IS
My Eternal Gain
By Blessed Insight!

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up Heaven Later
To Get The World Now
I Lose Forever ... Forever
AND
My Now Has No Later!

My Present Gain
IS
My Eternal Loss
BECAUSE
Insight Was Rejected
AND
Foresight Studiously Ignored!

I Don't Know About You, But ... 

By Faith
AND 
In Certain Hope
I Lose To Gain!

Let Me Put It Another Way:

My Mother Gave Me A Large
Heavy
Gaily Decorated Fruit Basket ... With Extras!
It Was A Delight To My Thirsty Eyes
AND
Carnal Heart!

My Basket Contained
- Amongst Other Things - 
A Blank Check
AND
A Bearer Bond
A Hand Of Bananas
A Cluster Of Grapes
A Dozen Oranges
Nine Mamie Apples
Six Star Fruit
Three Avocados
One Pawee Mango
A Deed To A Candy Factory
AND
A One-Way Ticket To
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
In That Beautiful Land
- That Tries Men's Souls  -
Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

She Then Calmly Said:

When (No If) You Get Into Trouble
Have A Difficulty
Need A Friend
Desire To Truly Get Ahead
Want To Get Home
Require Good And Sound Advice
Need A Forever Blessing
Or
Just Want To Talk
Call Your Father! 
He'll Always Answer!
Listen, Listen, Listen To Your Father! 

She Then Put Me Out Of Her House
Threw A Suitcase Behind Me
AND
Shouted:

That Is What Your Father Left For You!

I Missed My Duhduh! 

I Sat On The Sidewalk
Stunned
Slightly Bewildered
BUT
Thoroughly Excited For, Well
ADVENTURE!!

I Was Free To Be ... Me, Me, Me, MEEEE!!! 

Truth Be Told ... 

I Wasn't Quite Ready To Be A Pop-Kite Just Yet
Soooo
I Called My Granny, Watch N. Pray!
Of Calling On The Living God
She Does Not Miss A Way
Nor A Day!

Long Short Story Short ...

I Moved Into My Granny's House
Next Door To Willful Blindness
And Across From Belief S. Belief
And Perpendicular To Truth N. Error!

Behind The House
And A Ways From The Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Was Stradling D. Fence
The Lineman
AND
Next To Him Was Wild N. Free
The Graphic Artist
Who Was Rearing A Free-Range Child Called
Tek A. Knee!

When I Was Settled In My Granny Place
I Finally Took The Time
To Look At My Duhduh Suitcase!

Color Me Delighted And Shocked! 

What At The Distance
Looked Like Pretty Scroll-Work
Was Actually Writing On The Panels
In Clear Script
In What Used To Be Yellow Gold! 

The Words 
(My Father Loves Me!) 
Said:

Be Careful Of The Fruit You Eat!
Eating Candy Is Not Always A Treat!
Doing As You Like ... Now
May Give You A Thrill
But
KNOW THIS:
The Bearer Bond May Be Lost
The Blank Check Is Crossed
AND
Sweet Life Does Not Last!
A Starving Prodigal Will Eat Pig Swill!
AND
A Troubled Spirit Will Covenant Secrets Spill!
Don't Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!

Be Wary Of Where You Choose To Sleep!
AND 
Let Not Physical Beauty Go To Your Head
If You Want Your Head To Keep!

The Book Inside ...
Please Put Its Words On Your Inside
And
In The Lord Of The Book
You May Confidently Confide
Because
For You And Me
And All Who Will Believe
He Conquered Sin Death Hell And The Grave
And Is In Heaven
Interceding With The Father God
And For Us
Preparing A Place!
Whatever You Do
DON'T!!! Make A Shipwreck Of
Jesus Christ's Faith!!

Of The Mingled Wine
Do Not Take A Taste!
Pray The Promises! 
Trust The Eternal Word!
Run The Race For The Win!
Get Shuck Of The Goat Herd!
Don't Profane God's Word!

Trust Me!
I Have Never Told You A Lie:
Your Mother's Gifts Are Temporal
And Are Only Good For Now! 
Their Use Will Bring You Great Sorrow
For They Engender Confidence In Self
And In That Satan
Masquerading As A Benignant Storybook Elf! 
Please Place Them Into The Suitcase
AND
Use The Good Book As Your Life-Guide!
Everything You Need
To Prepare Your Soul For Eternity
Is Between Its Covers Inside!

The Holy Spirit Will Teach You And Chide! 
Holy Angels Will Protect You
And Influence You For Good
And With The Heavenly Intelligences Cooperating
Sin Satan And Self
Will Be Withstood!

Study The Book! 
Redeem The Time! 
Look Up! 
Do Not Turn Aside To Fables! 
Reason With The Holy God! 
Deny The Liar:
He Is The Cast Out Of Heaven Fraud! 

I Thought For A Long Moment ...

I Was Sorely Tempted
Truth To Ignore!
I Could Go Hog-Wild
AND
Eventually
End Up Eating Swill
Instead Of Enjoying A Chill-Pill
Or I Could Go Long For Long-Term Gain
AND
Forget Temporal Power And Fame!

It Was A Choice Between Distant  Shadow
AND
Present, Held, Substance!

I Was In A Bind
A Pickle
Between A Rock And A Hard Place ... But ...

At Length
My Momma's Own Words
Enlivened My Mind:

Trust Your Father!

Before Long ... I Cried Unto The Lord:

Hear My Supplication! 
Forgive My Sin - I Have Many! 
Do For Me
What Only The Eternal God Can! 
Give Me A Clear Way
To Walk Into The Holy Land!
Please Short-Circuit
Satan's Obvious Plans
For
I Desire To Reside
In The Delightsome Land! 
If You Will Go With Me
And
Bless Me
You Shall Be My God
And
I Shall Worship You
As Long As My Life Shall Last!

Let Not The Destroyer
Over Me
Gain The Upper Hand!
Help Me To Be Contented 
With Manna From Your Holy Hand
And
To 
Not Desire The Dainties
From The Flesh-Pots Of Sin!
Help Me To Humble Myself Before You!
I Am Approaching You, Lord
My Faith Showing, Bold!
AMEN.

Renewed ... 

I Pointed My Life Toward
The City Of The Blessed
AND
I Am Glad
That I Chose The Shepherd Of Rest!

I Have Lost Kindred
To Cushy Comfort And Careless Convenience!
I Have Made A Few Mistakes
BUT
With A Heart Fixed 
On The God Of My Father
My Life
Is Assuredly Not Sorry!
I Do Not Ride On Sin's Open-Back Lorry! 

As For My Heart
- God Willing - 
It Shall Assuredly Be Eternally Glad
When By Christ I Shall Be
Gold Crown Crowned 
AND
White-Robe Clad!

By The Way ... 

I Do Not Ever Wear Plaid!
Think About It!

Please ... 

Do Not Let Your Self By Satan Be Had!
Do  Not For The New Faith Fall!
Do Not To The Lust In Your Belly Crawl!
Purchased Pretties 
Turn Positively Putrid 
After Acquisition: Do Not Buy By Belly Nor Eye!

From Christ The Lord
Eye Salve
Linen White And Clean
And
Fire-Tried Gold
Buy!

Truth
Don't
Can't
Won't Lie!
