Presumption Is A Sin! + PRAYER: Father, I Hear You!







The Leaders Of Today
Are Like King Saul In The Prophet Samuel's Day
AND
Fearing The People We Could Say
AND
The Word Of The Lord
They Doth Flagrantly Disobey!

There Is No Excuse For Presuming
Upon The Mercies Of The Living God
For He Gives Mercy Freely
As Protection Against The Cruel Fraud!

Presumption Is Sin
AND
The Protection Of Holy Angels We Lose
Then
The Holy Spirit
Is Grieved Away
Leaving Us To Howl At The Moon
When Evil Spirits
With Our Mind Gaily Play!

The Lord Said: "Don't!"
The People In Lust Of Heart Say: "By All Means Do!"
Thus The Godly Word Is Denigrated
AND
The Word Of Sin Is Borne Aloft
AND
Man
In Vile Arrogance
At The Living God Does Scoff!

And God ...

When Man Has Gone Too Far Left
To Ever Be Considered Right
Sends The Word With The Prophet:

"You Are Rejected!
I Find In You No Delight!"

Then The Man
Who Had All The Power
In Crocodile Tears
Of Despair
Is Willing To Skin Cuffings
So That He Can Still Keep The Power
AND
Get The Perks And The Pay!

God Has A Line
That No Man Should Ever Cross!
That Is The Line Of Presumption
Believing
Because He Is One Chosen
That God Will Fawningly Permit
Malicious Sin
To Get A Free Pass!

So ...

A Word To The Wise
Should Ever Be Sufficient
On This Day
For
For The Sin Of Presumption
We Are Assuredly Going To Pay!

God Is Not Blind!
God Wears No Glasses!
AND
God Has No Rolling Walking Stick!
God Does Not Play Favorites
And Burnt Offerings
Won't Make The Living God
His Lips Of Fire To Lick!

If God Says: "Do!"
Our Job Is To Say:"Doing!"
AND
"Done!"
AND
If We Don't Know How To Proceed
We Are To Say To The Lord:

"Father, Please Show Me How
This Race To Run?!"

And ... The God

Who Sends Us
Will Show The Way
AND
Provide All 
That Is Needed
With His Desires To Faithfully Comply 
In The Very Day!

Victory In Jesus
Should Never Be Just A Song!
Victory In Jesus
Should Be The Oil
That Moves True Believers Along!

Faith Should Never Be An Expedient
Nor A Coin In The Church
But Should Be The Be All
To End All Sins
That Cause Good Men
Grandly To Fall!

Weak Will!
Weak Conscience!
Stand For Anything!
Fall For Everything!
Presumption!
Denunciation!
Denial!
Rejection!
AND
Death!
This Is The Path Walked
By All
Who Will Run The Race
Like Old King Saul!


PRAYER:

Dear Father,
Your Call To Salvation
To Right Living
I Do Hear!
Please Help Me, Lord
Your Blessed Word To Obey!
I Can Do Nothing
My Own Soul To Save
So, Please, Lord
I Beseech You
To Help Me
Walking In Your Way To Crave!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

Honor God

And He Will 

Honor You!

HeySu

In the Little Town called Prayer
A Little Song was sung with Cheer
Reminding All Who Burdens Bear
To Call Upon The One Who Cares!

I Happened Upon Prayer Today
And Noted A Slight Peculiarity
Each and Every One was In Charity
Singing The Song They All Knew!

HeySu
HeySu
HeySu!

HeySu
HeySu
HeySu!

HeySu
HeySu
HeySu!

HeySu
HeySu
HeySu!

Huh?!?

Why are these people singing The Word HeySu?!

Who in The Name of All That Is Holy is HeySu?

Every where
All you hear
Standing
Sitting in The Clear
Young and Old
Singing from The Soul
Their Song is of One
HeySu!

Alright!

I Must Know!

Excuse Me, Ma'am?!
I'm New Here!
Could You Tell Me
About The Song?
The Song All Sing
As they  Move Around
Please, Tell Me
About The HeySu Song!?

That Lady Looked Kindly upon Me
Gently Touched My Hand
Smiled Sweetly, and said:

"HeySoos is The Spanish Pronunciation of The Name Jesus!
This Town is Called Prayer
And for us
Jesus IS Always a Prayer Away
And it is Our Reminder
To Call
To Call
To Call upon The Name of Jesus - HeySoos
That We May Be Saved."

The Lady's name is Faith!
She pointed out Glory ... in The Distance
Introduced Me to Grace
Took me to lunch at It's All Joy!
And walked me to The Sanctuary
Where I met Peace!

For The First Time in Absolute Ages
My Sleep that Night was Rest.

Through Happy Tears
At The Dawning of The Day
The Name of Jesus
Was All That I could Say
HeySoos
Jesus
Jesus
HeySoos
However One Pronounces  His Name
The Prayer Always Get Through!

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Holy, Savior, Jesus
Blessed, Faithful, Jesus
He's Our Friend to The End!

Did You Call on Jesus TODAY?

Vespers at the End of the Sabbath of The Lover of Your Soul



John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In this word from the disciple whom Jesus loved, and to whom He gave the greatest Revelation of the Ages, is the greatest love note ever written.

We, as Christians, must not go with the world in the belief that there is a "day" set aside for celebrating love! No!

Our Almighty God gave us the example of what the true celebration of love really is! Sacrifice!

God gave His best for us, so that we might be saved!

Love is not an emotion. Love IS!

Love is not acting. Love is action!

Love is caring enough to do enough to save the beloved.

Jesus Christ, the Lover of our souls, loved us enough to give the very best - His Life - for us!

How is that for love?

Now go and love someone ... in Jesus' Name!



CLOSING GEM:


*
***
*****
God is Love
And Love is Life!
Therefore, God is Life!
Seek God for Love in Life!
AMEN.

Choose Jesus




Choose Jesus


I decided to follow Jesus
No one made that decision for me
I understood quite well what it was that I was doing
And I look forward in faith to eternity


I knew that there would be problems
With friends, family and associates
Who wondered aloud about whatever was the big deal
About having wings and sitting all day on a cloud


They said that Christianity was just a panacea
For the old, the young, and the very strange
And asked me a question, oh quite directly
If I was sure I was getting deranged?


I tried not to be offended since
I knew they had all been misinformed
Misdirected, and even lied to
So I decided to try to repair the brand


Jesus loves all the little children
Sinners, the blind, the halt and even the deaf
He heals and comforts, and He gently restores them
And invites all to spend Eternity with Him by and by


Jesus gave each, and every body, a free will
To their own path and way to choose
Whatever decision you decide to make is yours, friend
But there is Heaven to gain should you so choose


There will be Peace in that Valley of Promise
But the Vale of Tears, thank God, will be no more
We'll meet the Righteous, and the Heroes of all the ages
And live in harmony first a millennium in the sky


Oh, how I long to talk with my Creator
And ask Him questions that only He the answers know
To rest, and to speak to all of the sages
Whose inspired wisdom He caused to overflow


I choose Jesus to love, to obey and honor
For His yoke is easy, and even His burden it is very light
Trust Him, reach out, and hold even to death on to Him
You'll see Him face to face, forever, by and by

Love Him, and keep His commandments to prove it
Endeavor to live a life of purity – He will aid
Cast aside the idols and fleshly lusts that ensnare you
He'll soon be here at the unfolding of the sky


Give Him your heart, your will and your way, friend
He died to prove that you're important to Him
Trust no one else to guide, protect and to shield you
Jesus Christ will call you His very own elect


Very soon, King Jesus and the entourage of Heaven
Will all appear in that bright eastern sky
The Dead-in-Christ will rise, and the Living Faithful will join them
Together they'll meet King Jesus, with the angels, in the sky


Won't you please join me and choose King Jesus
To love, to worship, and, yes, we must Him adore
He, alone, is faithful, He's not a man that He'd have to lie
He proved His love for you – He was scourged, He bled and then He died!


He has inscribed our names in the palms of His hands
So, please, don't fear the enemy of our souls
Christ covered us believers in His blood's sacrifice
So come plod on, the end is drawing nigh


Lord, strengthen us, for the battle that is coming
Give us Grace to stand, and comfort You our souls
We hold the Promise – Eternal Life! Yes! Forever more!
For our God sits down upon The Great White Throne!


Let's hold the fort for we know that He is coming
Let's labor on whilst it is yet the day
The night is coming where no man can labor
So let's join in prayer for God's everlasting day!


Father: We love You, we praise You, and we worship You.
Have mercy on us even as we pray. AMEN


Choosing to Follow
Jesus
Comes With a Cost!

What Wondrous Love



What Wondrous Love


He loves me.
Why should I care?
I didn't ask Him!
Please go away!


He offers me gifts.
I don't want them!
I didn't ask Him!
Please go away!


He promises life –
No sorrow, no shame!
I didn't ask Him!
He wouldn't go away!


He pleaded!
He beseeched!
He loves me!
Oh, did He teach!
He was willing!
He died!
He went away!
I cried!
I MISS HIM!!


Three days later He arose
Glorified
Defeated the foe
Went to the Father up above
Oh, how I need HIM!


Heart opened now
I am in love
He sent His Spirit
Showed more love
Bless His name
He despised the shame
He will come again –
I really need HIM!


Oh, praise our God
Jesus bore all for love
Of you and me
He'll come again
'Tis very plain
To destroy the last
Vestige of sin's stain
And at last His Beloved Bride claim –
HE's coming for ME!


Praise to our God who
Time, and again
Redeeming Love
His Heart proclaimed
I love HIM
Oh, I love HIM so
Through Grace of God
I'm not letting go –

JESUS LOVES ME!! **BJC**

Lord, Prepare Me

Father, Have mercy on me,  a sinner.  
Father, I am digging into Your Holy Word seeking after knowledge, and I ask You to help me to see Your truth, 
and not the truth that evil men would have me 
believe for their gain as I search through the many and various study materials to aid my understanding of Your Word.  
I ask You to shield my eyes, my ears, and my heart from the personal interpretations, outright lies, and carefully 
crafted deceits of the enemy of my soul, and help me, Lord, 
to keep my eye on the prize, Home. 
Oh, how my heart longs for Home. Home with Jesus. 
You have promised in Your Holy Word that You 
will have a people prepared and ready to meet the King. 
Please, I beseech You, help me, under the agency of 
Your Holy Spirit, to be ready, possessing all 
the fruit of Your Spirit, and living as only a 
Child of the King, can. I love You, Lord. 
Please come soon. AMEN

YOU are Invited to a ... PITY PARTY!



Pity Party


I host a Pity Party
When things are going wrong
The guests who come are just like me
But they don’t stay very long.



Feeling Sorry for My Self and Oh Poor Me
Are always first to arrive
And by the time Misery comes along
The party’s really alive!


A few hours in their company
Make me feel worst than before
And so I can’t wait for them to leave
To reclaim the life I adore!


I realize there’s no reason to fret
My life is a lot better than most
I tell my “friends” thanks for their time
And invite them to get lost! **BJC**


Jesus Loves ME!! 
Yippee!!

The Devil



The Devil

The Devil plays a dirty game
He has his own rule book
Don’t think you can outwit him
Cause you’re going to end up on his hook!

The Devil is a liar
His words are truth reversed
And if you are unwary
He’ll draw you in head first!

You cannot fight the Devil
Without sword, buckler and shield
For if you fight him unguarded
To him you’ll always yield!


Take Jesus — He’s the fighting sword
Buckler and shield — His truth
Swath mightily — you will stand firm

And you’ll get through your youth! **BJC**

Crucify HIM Again


Crucify Him Again?!


He made the heavens, the earth, the seas.
Crucify HIM!
He created man to be like Him, and for worship.
Crucify HIM!
What did He ever do to you?
He made Redemption's plan to save you!
Ohh! Crucify HIM!

Refrain #1:
Have you no shame?
He has no blame!
He loves you, yes!
He's glorious!
Why crucify HIM again?

Refrain #2
He is the King! He has no sin!
He loves you, yes! He's glorious!
He is the King! His name's JESUS!
Don't crucify HIM … again?

Don't crucify HIM again! **BJC**

Man's Favorite Pursuits



Man's Favorite Pursuits



She is ever the sensualist
He lives by all his greed
They are so very ambitious
And very proud indeed!


She is ever so puffed up
He is a stuffed-shirt by his creed
They complement each other
Love of money is their speed!


She's selfish, he's miserly
Both dishonest to boot
They fear no law nor justice
Will not fear to shoot!


Prayer? Bible? Believer? Jesus who?
When did you say we were introduced?
Then Put Him on the speed dial
We'll call Him if we need a boost!


Pride! Greed! Gluttony! Sloth!
Lust! Envy! And Wrath!
They indulge in them all
And, yes! Then they laugh!


Who cares what others think!?
We live for ourselves!
Why must you always butt in?
Who let you through our chain link?


They lived their lives like hedonists
Nothing to recommend them
But like the rich man with Lazarus
They're only fit to condemn!


It was only when in review
Their lives looked back in
That they recognized with horror
How foolish they'd been!


Those that they'd ill-treated
Those they'd robbed blind
Those they'd had wrongly punished
They now begged to be kind!


Alas, it's too late
You're no friend of ours
You despised us and you cursed the Lord!
Yes! THAT King Jesus!


No! We cannot help you!
There's enmity, there is envy, no love between
You sinners and the Savior
Oh, look! The opening scene!


The sky is unfurling
Rolling back as a scroll
Look! There! Upon a white horse,
With many crowns, is the Lord!


The graves are opening wide
Saints alive with the dead-in-Christ rise high
To meet our Savior in the sky!
Sinners, prepare to die!
I'm sorry!
Goodbye! **BJC**


Dear Friends:
Lest you think that Christians will gloat at the loss of the wicked, think again!


The Lord has said in His Word that it is not His wish that any should perish. So, far be it from the truth for us as HIS children – who choose to obey – to rejoice over those who are, or will be, lost. Let us, therefore, redouble our efforts to help prepare a people to meet the King.


Let us, if we can't preach, pray for, cook, feed, clothe, visit,
and love our brothers and sisters into the Kingdom.

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage



Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage


Marston looked at the rising sun and saw
Another challenge waiting to victimize!
Marcelle looked at the same rising sun and saw
Another blessing – oh praise Him who supplies!


Marston looked at the mirror and there he saw
Miserable weariness on the face of years!
Marcelle looked in the same mirror and saw
Happy tiredness on a face with no fears!


Marston looked at the old horse and saw
Just another drain upon their oft' meager supplies!
Marcelle looked at the same old horse and saw
A faithful laborer who never gave a surprise!


He looked at Her and She looked at Him
Each looked at the other, and saw deep within
He saw the peace that she held most dear
She saw anger, bitterness, and much despair!

They both spoke at the same time!
Both wanted to be heard!
She said: “You go first!”
He said: “Don't be absurd!”


This, my friends, is how it is
When unequally yolked two partners be
She says: “It is an 'A!'” He says: “Oh, you mean 'Z!'”
And so, Dear Ones, they can never agree!


Darkness and Light, Blackness and White
She means By Faith, He means By Sight
She holds her Bible dear, He won't ever come near
He won't go to Bible Class, They are ever at an impasse!



For many years, Marcelle faithfully prayed ... to God!
For many years, Marston faithfully played ... the Fraud
Until one fateful day not too long past
He came very near to breathing his last!


And so it was that perspectives aligned
She asked to pray for him, and he ever so quickly replied:
"Dear Wife, I am sorry for all that I've done and been!
Pray to your Jesus! I need to be made clean!”


So after years of pleading and praying for him
Marcelle prayed to The Dear Lord, and asked Him to draw nigh
To her beloved husband along life's journey e'er long
And thanked the Almighty for His love so kind and true
For keeping this Dear One so that he, too
Could be welcomed into the Household of Faith
As he had now forsaken what was his great disgrace!


Oh clean him, Lord bless him, as he walks the narrow way
And by Your Grace, Father, we'll see You faith to Face!” **BJC**

The “Christian” Walk



The “Christian” Walk


Lord, I am trying to walk
The straight and narrow way
But there are people in this church
That make me laugh, and not in a nice way!


My Child:
You came to Me today
All torn up inside
About all the things wrong inside your church
Even your Pastor and his new bride.


You spoke about shenanigans
Misappropriations, adultery
Trysts, fornication, and bastardy
And new football lotteries.


Please tell me, Dear Loved One
Why do you see all this?
You can tell me of every one else
But, where am I on your list?


Yes, you will see dishonesty
And infidelity, quite true!
You see everyone else's wrong-doing,
But aren't you dishonest, too?


In My Word Matthew Chapter 7
Written in verses 3, 4 and 5
It speaks of seeing another's small mote
When a big beam is blinding you!


I love you, Dear Child, but chastise you I must
Don't be a hypocrite about other people's dust!
Keep your eyes upon Me, I'm you Savior, your Friend!
Stop airing other people's dust-balls when you operate a pig pen!


Stop judging other people
Clean up your own dirt
Wipe the soot off your chimney
And wash out your dirty skirt!


Keep looking at Me
The clean pathway of Light!
Hold on to right principles
Let My light through you shine bright!


Be sober, be vigilant!
The adversary is very near
To send you away wayward
To blind you with despair!


Keep your eyes on Me – JESUS!
I am your way home!
Walk onward to victory
Look at ME, only, alone!


Put on my solid armor
It will shield you from sin!
It'll protect you, it'll cover you
No sin-dart let in!


So, Dear One, wear these things:
Love, JOY and Peace
LONG-SUFFERING, and Gentleness
Uncleanness – RELEASE!!


Add GOODNESS and Faithfulness
Add MEEKNESS – for sure!
To this we'll add TEMPERANCE
Over these the Law has no cure!


Oh, My Child, whom dearly I love
Keep your eyes fixed ever firmly
Upon My Kingdom, upon Me, for
I poured out My Life's blood – 'twas to save you!


Don't worry about others
You know what YOU must do
Do YOUR work, ever faithful

I WILL REWARD YOU!! **BJC**
