HERITAGE AND INHERITANCE: Self Has A Predicament!


 Image result for Isaiah 54:14


... Righteousness Does Not Indulge Self!

Look At The Tangle Around Us:
Luxury And Idleness
Activity And Usefulness
Sin, Self, And Self-Confidence!

It's A Tangle Because
Self Uses Sin To Get Luxury
To Indulge In Idleness
Instead Of Being Active And Useful
In The Service Of The Lord Christ!

As All Of Us Should Already Know
Self Is Selfish
And
A Known-Bold Sinner
With A Myriad Of Fair-Weather Friends
Chief Amongst Them Being None Other Than
Self-Confidence
Who, I Should Inform You
Signed A Suicide Pact With That Law-Breaker, Sin
That Instigator Of Death And Destruction
Actually Destruction
Character Destruction
Then Physical Destruction
Then, If Unchecked, Death
Spiritual Death
Physical Death
And
Obviously Eternal Death
Which Is Separation From The Living God!

Self-Confidence
Is 
A Dense Con Job!

Self-Confidence
Does Not Encourage A Person
To Trust In The Unfailing
Goodness And Grace
Of The Eternal God!

Self Is A Satanic Influence
Because
Self Considers Itself A God
To Be Worshiped, Glorified
Honored, Praised!

Brethren, 

It's All A Fraud!

Self Is A False God
Because
Self Must Be Catered To
Because
Self Does Not Serve
Self Does Not Give
Self Loves Self
So Self, Unchecked
Eventually Destroys ... Even Kills ... Its Host
Even Though Killing The Host
Causes Wicked Self's Death!

Self Is The Unholy Ghost!

Truth Be Told
That ... In A Nutshell
Is What Is Called A Real Predicament!

The Spirit Of The Living, Holy, God
Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Our Teacher And Our Guide!

There Is No One With The Heritage Of 
The True Christian
Who Is Called Selfish
Or Who Indulges Self!

Try Telling That To You Know Who!

I Am Not Talking To Any Who Knows You!
I Am Talking To Us
Me And All Of You Bright Sparks
Who Claim To Have The Oil!
How About Lighting Some Candles
Some Lamps, Some Lanterns
All About This Town!

Yeah! 
Let's Put Some Needed Holy Light Of God's Truth
In This Bogged-Down By Sin Atmosphere! 

Take Heed, Beloved ... 

Because Of Heritage
And 
For Inheritance
The People Of Almighty God Are To Live For Truth 
And 
In Righteousness 
Despising The Carnal Ways Of The World That 
Always Lead To Destruction! 

We, As Believers, Cannot Be Half & Half
Or One-Percent Milk-Christians! 
We Are Either All-In Or All-Out For Christ 
No Matter Who Or What Is Popular Or Provocative! 

A Double-Minded Man
Is Unstable In All Of His Ways
And Cannot Be Trusted!

Righteousness Edifies And Exalts 
And 
Sin Denigrates ...!

... And Decimates!

Indeed!

Never Forget That Your Sin
Impacts You
And Impacts Others
Who Are Watching What You Do
And Often Base Their Life's Decisions
On Your Actions! 

There Is No Profit In Self ...!

... And There's No Profit In Selfishness ...!

... And There Is No Profit In Sin
So Let's Choose To Walk In Righteousness 
In The Sight Of Almighty God 
And 
In The Presence Of Fallen Man
And
Choose Always To Set The Good Example
Because 
We Love Our Jesus Christ Who Utterly Saves
And
It Is The Committed-Christian, Known-Right, Thing To Do!
Let's Work For The Salvation Of Our Fellowman! 

Beloved,
Please Place All Your Confidence
In Jesus Christ The Lord!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Righteous Man









E.  Great
Tha' Goodman, And
D. Pillar
Were The Noteworthy Notables in 
The High-Worth Note Church.

To Hear It Told
These Personages were
Personable
Precious Planks 
AND
Popular Pilgrims 
ON 
The Pathway of Purity!

They were
Dependable
Faithful
Approachable
Generous
Kindly
Helpful
Hopeful
Full of Good Works
AND
Keen To Keep 
The Christians
Constant and Consistent 
In their Ways and Walk 
With The True and Living 
Holy Eternal 
Faithful God in Glory -  Bless His Holy Name!

BUT ...

Lord help you if they have to Correct 
The Wayward Soul who has 
Tripped and Fallen and 
Seems Unable to Get Back Up Again!

You will Hear about 
Their Strength of Character and 
Force of Will and 
Knowledge of Right and Truth and 
The Inward Counsel that has Made Them 
Worthy Soldiers for Christ 
AND 
Able Protectors of The Holy Faith!

They are so, so
So Very Good and 
Saintly and 
Self-Satisfied and 
Serenely Holy and 
Supremely Righteous 
That it made your Skin - at least it made mine - Crawl!

I Didn't Understand 
Why This Should Be The Case for 
They would do Anything for Anybody, and 
Were ... Indeed
Really Good and 
Giving 
Holy People!

They were So Good and 
So Righteous that
Around Them
All Others Were Just 
Raw-boned Sinners!


Wait, them don't go to the toilet like reg'lar humans?!?


You must be meaning that them people Self-righteous!


Hmmmmm ....

Good Righteous People.

THAT is what is Nagging at Me!


I thought that Jesus Christ - Himself - said that Only God IS Good?!


Didn't Jesus also say that Our Righteousness must EXCEED that of The Scribes and The Pharisees?


Isn't it also stated that OUR Righteousness IS AS Filthy Rags?


Why you don't go and tell THAT to THEM People?!


Would you Believe that they have all Stated that IF and WHEN they die that their Epitaphs should all read:

"Here Lies A Righteous Man."

Lord, Help Us!

Didn't God's Word Say that we 
MUST 
Acquire Christ's Righteousness? ##


*******

The Righteous Men
Within The Church
Treated Jesus
Like He Was Lurch
Hunch-backed
Unlovely
Course and 
Rough
And
They Lifted Up Themselves
And In(EX)haled
.... Their Righteousness ....
Brown Snuff!

They Inhaled
They Cleared Their Throats
Hawked Up Phlegm
AND 
Expectorated A Groat
That Was Ugly
Putrid 
Nasty To Behold
As They - High and Mighty
Uttered
"Tin Gold!"

In All Their Ruminations
Treatises
AND
Lofty Utterances
Nary A Word
Of Almighty God 
Jesus Christ or
The Holy Spirit
Escaped 
Fell Out
Spilled Out nor
Was Cast Abroad
For These Sincere Men
Highly Esteemed
Were Of Their Selves
Righteous!
By God!
They Were CLEAN!

They Didn't Need God!
He Was Pedestrian!
He Had Given Them The Word
Now He Must Follow Their Plan
For They Are Leading The Clan!

These White-washed Tombs
Were Select
Elected
Men Of The Holy Cloth
Who Had Drunk In The Book
And, Sadly
Were Selling 
Watered Broth and
Special Occasion Froth!

Beloved!
BELOVED!
Don't Buy What They Sell
For That Purchase
Will Only Land You 
With Satan In Hell!

We MUST Give Up 
Our Own Righteousness
AND
We MUST Seek After 
Jesus Christ's Own
AND
We MUST Not Follow After
Those Who Communicate
Via The Dial-A-Devil Date Phone!

Jesus Christ Died
For Our Sins To Atone
So ...
Get Away From Those
Lying 
Lawless
Deceitful Hireling Shepherds
Who Worship At Self-Lover-Satan
See-Myself-As-God's Throne!

CHRISTIANS PRAY: Just Because ... !







The Bird Does Not Sing
Because She Has Something To Say!
The Bird Sings
Because ... She Must!

I Do Not Pray
Just Because I Have A Request!
I Pray
Because ... I Must!

The Christian That I Call Myself
Has Prayer At His Disposal
To Use However He Must
But  ... The Christian 
Who Only Prays Because of
Problems and Things 
That Cause Fuss
Is A Christian Devoid
Of Jesus Christ's Faith
and
A Living Trust!

Pray for Power!
Pray For Faith!
Pray For Grace!
Pray Against Lust!
Pray When Happy!
Pray When Sad!
Pray Because Of The Hope
Found 
At End Of Personal Strength To Cope!

Jesus Christ Said:
 "Pray!"
"Pray Without Ceasing!"

Pray!
Pray!
Each and Every Day!
Pray 
As If Your Life Is On The Line!
Pray 
Because Your Father
Is Almighty God and Divine
Providing Power
and 
Pasture
Peace 
and 
Sweet Rest
Provision and Position
In The Mansions of The Blessed!

Comfort and Caring
Compassion ... Just Because
Our Lord and Dear Master
Our God Holds Dear
The Ransomed Who Was Once Lost!

Pray is Protection!
Pray is The Way!
Pray is The Air
That The Christian Needs
To Breathe 
All Through The Day

So ....

Don't Starve Your Self of Your Necessity!
Pray!
Breathe!
Pray!
Breathe!
and
Clear The Airways
The Air Waves
The Ear Ways
PRAY!
BREATHE! 
BREATHE!

Help From Heaven
IS
Always Just A Breath Of Prayer
AWAY!!

Gospel Goes Forth

He spoke The Word of The Gospel
They put him into Bonds
He Stood up for The Gospel
They, in Anger, Spilt his Blood!

Man May Kill Man
Man Cannot Kill God's Word
For, like Water
It Always Finds Its Level!

The Story Goes Like This:

Gospel Worker = Pitcher of Life-Giving Water:

Gospel Worker walks and waters Flowers in Far-flung Fields
Gospel Worker comes to The Town of Dry Gulch
Population: Parched
Sheriff: Dread
Policy: Maintain The Status Quo
Church: What For?!
Brothels: Busy
Truth: Absent
Needs: Many
Wants: Vomit Inducing
Goals: Glorious Gain
Mayor: Mumbles
Doctor: Dribbles
Desire: Growth
Hearts: Hungry
Eyes: Blind
Ears: Itching
Voice: Boisterous
Song: Sad
Sound: Uncertain
Peace: Poor
Hope: Imprisoned
Health: Hostage

Sheriff Dread is Dreadful!
Towns-persons are Terrorized!
Help is Sought!

Gospel-worker goes Door to Door
People are Interested
But Frightened for Sure!

On The Day Appointed
A Gathering was Held
On The Open Way of Assembly:



Come One! Come All!

Come and Be Fed!
Come To Jesus Christ!
Don't By Sin Be Misled!


All The Parched Gathered and
Gospel Worker Started to Speak!

AND ... 

Here and There
A Moist Dot Appeared!

Sheriff Dread, Always Vigilant
Noticed, and, and, well, Screeched!!

Always Able to Read The Weather, and
A Subscriber to Signs of These Times, and
Never one to Like Prayer
Nor that Corrupting Good Influence
Sheriff Dread Broke Through the Gathering
And on Gospel Worker Pounded Away!

When Dread's Work was Finished
Gospel-worker's Life was on The Ground!

Dread said: "Clean Cover up this Mess!
No need for Truth to get around!
We have rid you of a Sure Pest
Get with The Program
Dread knows Best!"

When The Day's Work was Finished
The Open Way was Nigh to Untouched!
Status Quo had been Maintained, but ...
Something IS Growing Underground!

Time Passed ...

Sirens!
Sirens!
Sirens are Screaming!

Sheriff Dread is 
Out Cold  ... Flat On The Ground
For, on The Open Way of Assembly stood
A Forest of Love Like Flowers, and Trees with True Fruit
Laden Down!

The Parched were Grabbing and Eating!
Fruit Juice was Running Down Hands and Cheeks
And Whoever Injested that True Fruit
Became Moist, Tender, Noble and Sweet!

Dry Gulch Is Now Known as Sheep May Safely Graze
Population: Watered
Intention: God's Word Speak
Sheriff: Truth Provided
Mayor: Saving Souls
Doctor: Helps 'n Heals
People: Happy
Needs: Few & Met
Hope: Secure
Health: Sure
Peace: Pure
Voice: Victorious
Song: Glorious
Sound: Certain
Eyes: Salved
Ears: Unstopped
Wants: Nothing to Bother Young Me nor Old You! 





MORAL OF THE STORY:

The Dreads of This World Seek to Limit The Spread of The Gospel by Death and Destruction!

The More they Kill and Destroy, The More The Gospel of The Love of Jesus Christ is Spread! 

Many will be Martyred for The Word of The Gospel - and those Deaths will Bear Much Fruit for The Kingdom of God - but only as long as Man's Probation is Open! 

If there is no one to be Saved, there will no longer be a Kingdom Benefit to be Derived from Christians dying so they won't be able to kill us any longer!

Death has no Power over a True Christ Believer! We Will Rise Again!

We have No Need to be Afraid of Those Who Will Kill The Body for they CANNOT Kill Our Souls in Hell!

Man Against Almighty God Is A "No Contest!" so



Fear God
and 
Give Glory to Him
for 
The Hour of His Judgment 
is 
At Hand! 
Rev. 14:7 (in part)
