Unwavering Faith In He Who Ever Lives!

KJV Job 13:15-16
15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.


It Takes Unwavering Faith, Explicit Belief, To Be Able To Say That 
You Are Going To Maintain Your Ways Aka Your Integrity 
And 
Keep Your Trust Firmly Placed In Someone 
Who Has The Power To Kill You! 

It Takes That Same Unfailing Faith And  Unshakable Belief 
To Say That That Someone 
Is 
Your Salvation 
Because 
They Know That You Are Not A Deceitful Wretch Aka A Hypocrite! 

Beloved, 

Oh, That We All Would Be As That Righteous Job Was! 

To Go Through The Fire Of Affliction
Physically, Financially, Emotionally, And Spiritually 
And Still 
Trust Jesus Christ The Lord 
Because 
You Have Embraced The Promise:
 "I Know That My Redeemer Lives!" 
"These Dry Bones Shall Live Again!" 
"Where I Am There Shall Also My Servant Be!" 
"No Good Thing Will He Withhold From Them That Walk Uprightly!" 
Is 
To Know The Peace Which Passes Human Aka Finite Understanding! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is Not Slack Concerning His Promises
His Stated Blood-Bought Intentions, Towards Us! 

"Yes, Lord!" 
And 
"Thank You, Jesus!" 
"Amen!" 
Should Be On Rewind, Replay, Constant Rotation 
On Our Heart For Christ! 

Yes, The Lord Can Kill You! 
Think! 
The Lord Also Daily Keeps Us Alive 
And
He Also Also Raises The Dead! 

Our Redeemer Lives: 
Live For Jesus! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Pride Is Poison + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves!



It Is Significant To See Righteousness And Unrighteousness
Faithfulness And Faithlessness 
And 
Pride And Humility 
So Starkly Compared And Contrasted! 

Beloved, 

We Are To Live By Faith 
While Lovingly Humbling Ourselves Before The Lord Christ 
Who Will Lift Us Up In His Day Of Appointment 
Just As He Lifted Up Jacob, Joseph, Job, And Moses! 

We Are Not To Lift Up Ourselves 
In Pride And With Arrogance Like Lucifer: 
It Didn't Work Out For Him 
And
It Will Not Work Out For Us! 

We Love To Say With The Worldly-Wise That 
Man Appoints And God Disappoints 
But 
If We Look Closer
We Will Clearly See What Manner Of Defeat, Disaster
Destruction, And Deviltry Exists 
When Man Appoints Man
And 
Man Anoints Self! 


The Humble, Faithful, Servant Of God
Is
Always A Blessing To Mankind!


Pride Is Poison 
And 
Self-Aggrandizement Is Terminal Disease 
And
Neither Has A Place In The Heart Of 
The Committed-To- Christ Christian! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Lifting Up We Should Be Doing 
Is 
Lifting Up Our Souls To The Lord
Lifting Up Our Hands In Worship And Praise
Lifting Up Our Brethren
And 
Lifting Up Our Bibles And Our Spoons 
As They Convey To Our Bodies 
Our Very Necessary Daily Food! 

Pride Decimates! 
Faith Elevates 
And 
Humility Opens The Flood-Gates Of Blessing! 



PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 
Please Help Us Today
To Humble Ourselves Before You On Earth
Your Footstool
So That You Will Lift Us Up To Heaven
Your Throne
On The Glad Day That You Have Set! 
Amen!!!

"Hate Evil!"



We Have A Direct Command Of Almighty God: 


"Hate Evil!" 

Beloved, 

We Will Hate Evil 
Because 
We Love The Lord! 

We Serve The Creator Who Is The Holy God Known Alive
The Savior Dear
The Good Shepherd
The Forever Friend
The Returning Redeemer
The Kind King
The Incorruptible Judge
Our Blessed Hope! 

Our Lord Jesus Provides For Us Before We Express Our Need! 
He Has A Thousand Ways To Save Us 
Even Though We Need Only One 
And
When We Are Instructed ... Commanded
To Do Something For Our Good
We Always, Always, Always Have A Blessing Of 
Infinite Magnitude Attached! 

We Have The Preserving And Delivering Hand Of 
Our Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omni-Present God Attending Us
Protecting Us
And 
Providing For All Of Our Needs 

And

Our Enduring Faithful Obedience 
Ensures That 
We Will Not Be Overcome By Evil! 

Please Take Note ... 

Satan Aka His Evilness Was Distinctly Told How Far He Could Go 
To Wreak Havok In Job's Life 
So Let Us Correct The Error Which Says That 
Evil-Doers May Do Whatever They Want! 

Evil-Doers  Cannot Do More Than What The Lord Says 
Is 
Permissible! 

Never Forget That 
The Promise Is Given For Our Deliverance
So Shout "Hosanna!" 
Shout "Save Now!" To Our Lord Christ 
Even As You Hate Evil Like You Would Hate Rat Poison! 

Rejoice! 
The Lord Is King! 
Our Deliverance Is On The Wing! 

Stand Strong! 

Peace!

Faith Doesn't Depend On Feeling






Trials Come! 

Is Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord Fixed Or Fluid!?! 

Is Your Hope In The Lord Like Solid Rock Or Like Quick Sand!?! 

Is Your Love For The Lord Just For The Loaves And Fishes 
Aka The Gifts And Good Times 
Or Is It For The Saving Truth
The Love That Loved You First
The Love That Will Not Let You Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 
Without First Giving You A Way To Escape Your Self
Your Sin
Your Shame
Your Sorrow 
And
The Satan Aka The Adversary Always On The Attack!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Able To Say ... Like Job
"Though The Lord Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him!?!" 
And 
With Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego 
While Facing Death In Babylon's Fiery Furnace 
"Whether Our God Saves Us Or Not
We Will Trust Him And Not Worship Falsely!?!" 

Many Of Us Who Are Christians 
Erroneously Believe That Saying 
"Jesus, Jesus!" 
Is 
The Key To The Existence Called
"Fair To Fine No Showers Expected!"  
This Does Not Biblically Compute! 

A Comfortable Existence Never Equals Soul Salvation! 
Ask The Citizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah 
If You Can Find Them! 

Let Us Wise Up 
And
Get Up 
And 
Stand Firm In The Faith That Cannot Fail 
And
Confidently 
And 
Enduringly Say Boldly: 
"The Devil Is The Liar: 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
I Will Walk Faithfully With Jesus Christ My Lord!" 
Say It! 
Believe It! 
Live It! 
Your Eternal Peace Depends On It!

Is Your Faith Exercising Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!






Is Your Exercised Faith In Jesus Christ Fixed 
Or Is Your Faith Dependent Upon 
Your Every Prayer Being Answered 
Just As You Have Asked 
And
In The Time-Frame That You, A Mere Mortal, Has Specified 
To The Creator God 
Who Is All-Knowing, Almighty, And Eternal!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Sight!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Feelings!?! 

Does Your "Faith" Have You Reeling!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Are Committed To The Lord Christ 
And 
The Way Of The Cross That Leads To The Heavenly Home
Cannot Afford The "Luxury" Of A Fair-Weather Faith 
With A Side Of Flitting Butterflies 
And 
A Generous Helping Of Thorn-Less, Perfectly Scented, Roses! 

The Children Of The Household Of Faith 
Must Stand Or Fall By The Word Of The Lord 
Which Clearly States Plainly That 
All Things Work
-  Answered Prayer Or Not - 
For The Good Of Us Who Are The Called 
According To The Purposes Of God!

We Must Be Able To Say
- Like Job And The Three Hebrew Worthies - 

"Live Or Die
I'm Trusting My Lord With My Life
And
All That Concerns Me!" 

We Who Are Headed To Hill Zion 
Must Be Able To Bear Disappointment 
Aka The Denial Of Even Godly Desires! 

We Must Be Able To Hold Strain 
Even When We Just Want To Curl Up And Die! 

We Must Trust The Living Word 
And Not The Lies Of The Devil! 

Jesus Christ Always Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please ... By Grace Through Faith
Daily Choose To Moment-By-Moment Trust 
The Lord's Heavenly Love For You 
Even When You Can't Trace His Holy Hand 
Holding 
And 
Helping You! 

Peace!

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!

Have You Considered ...?!

Have We Considered
Carefully
- Honestly -
That Jesus Christ Is
Creator
Savior
Shepherd
Redeemer
Anchor
Rock
Covert
Healer
Sealer
Revealer
Sustainer
Lord
King
Friend
Hope
Help
Way
Truth
Light
Door
Wonderful Counsellor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince Of Peace
Surety
And
Security?!

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Holds The World
In His Hand
Also Holds Your Hand In His Hand ... Gently?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Hears All The Prayers
Of Every Single Faithful Soul
Knows Your Name Personally
And 
Listens Personally To Your Prayers Avidly?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That As A True Believer
- Trusting Obedient enduring And Faithful -
Regenerated By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
That The Eternal God Has To Take Care Of You
And 
Cannot Let You Fail?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That If Letting You Die Suddenly
Or Permitting You To Languish In Illness
Will Save Your Soul
That That Is What Will Happen To You?! 

You Can't Prove That!
Where Are Your Two Or Three Witnesses?!

Can, Too!

Almighty God's Servant, Job: 




Apostle Paul:






King David:






John The Revelator:





Oh! Never Mind!

Whatever Happens To Us In This Flesh
Jesus Christ Is Our Certain Hope
Our Sure Help
Our Only True Way Of Escape
And
Our Perfect Solace
So We May Rest Easy And In Peace In His Love!

So, What You Are Saying Is
Look Up And Not In!

In A Nutshell, Yes!

Jesus Christ's Death Is Our Reconciliation
And
Jesus Christ's Life Is Our Salvation
So, Bless The Ever-Living God
Ye Peoples Of The Nations
And
Praise The God Of Creation! 









Dwell Not Upon What You Carnal Eyes See
Your Carnal Ears Hearing
And
Your Carnal Body Is Feeling And Experiencing
In The Here And The Now
But, Instead
Dwell Upon What The Living God Has Done
And
Is Doing For Your Purchased Soul
And
Is Making Ready
For
Your Eternal Blessing
In The Land Where We Shall Never Grow Old!

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

Have We Considered
- Honestly Considered -
What It Really Means
When The Lord Said To Satan:

Hast Thou Considered My Servant, Job?!

Job ...
Righteous
Caring
Hopeful
Helpful
Believing
Worshipful
Trusting
Obedient
Thoughtful
Thankful
Called
By The Lord Of Life, Himself:

My Servant.

The Lord Is Gracious!

Satan Is Malevolent!

Job ... Unsuspecting
Children ... Dead
Property ... Lost
Wife ... Foolish
Friends ... Miserable Comforters
Situation ... Hopeless
House Servants ... Careless
Faith ... Strong
Hope ... Fixed On The Lord

Into Every Life
A Little Rain Falls!


The Living God 
Does Not Leave His Children
To Battle Alone!
He Has Given The Command:

On My Name, Call!

If We Start From The End
AND
Return To The Beginning
We Will Understand That
Life Is Not Just For Living
BUT
For The  Securing Of
The Approval Of The Almighty God
So That Despite
  • Storm Of Wind
  • Fire Of "God" 
  • Machinations Of The Fraud
  • Know It All Friends
  • Faithless Life Companions
  • Missing Children
  • Ruined Business
  • Empty Pockets
  • Destroyed Health
  • Putrid Sores
AND
  • Closed Doors
WHEN
You Are The Servant Of God
Your Outcome Is Mercifully Known
AND
Gracefully Assured
No Matter What
Your. Eyes. See.
Your. Body. Feels.
The. Public. Says.
The. Damned. Devil. Declares!

God IS!
God Is Able!
God Is Available!
God's Will For You
IS

Unassailable!

Brethren, Beloved ...

Believe And Live
Even If You Are Bodily Dying
For
By Dying Anchored In The Lord Christ
You Shall Live Again
To Feast On Heaven's Delights
At The Lord's Welcome Home Table
Never Again
To Battle The Known Lying Murdering Fraud!

Please ...

Unashamedly Love The Lord
Our Eternal God!
Your Name

My Name
 Is Engraved  In His Hand
AND
Because Of This
AND
In His Name
We Can
You Shall
We Will
You Do
Stand!


How Do YOU Stand?!

Will The Lord Call YOU
My Servant?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Traditions - - -> Doctrines ... Commandments!?

When The Decrees Of Church Men
AND
Statesmen
Are In Direct Opposition
To The

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

People Of Faith And Piety
Have No Call To
With Willful Sinners
Walk In Accord!

The Word Of God Is Infallible!
The Words Of Man Are Not!
AND
Switching One For The Other
Is
Going To Get You Hot! Hot!
BUT
You Will Not Be Able
Away From God
To Trot!

Man Sees With Eyes Set In Reducing Time!
God Created For Man ... Time!
God Is Not Restricted By Man's Time
Nor His Ideals
For
He Is Lord God
Almighty
Holy
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Everlasting
Consuming Fire
Wisdom
Divine
Will Supreme!

Man Lives In Time's Space
AND
God - In Mercy
Gives To Him Grace!
Man
- By Following Satan
Arch-Enemy Deceiver -
Wants To Play God
BUT
Because His Eyes Are Myopic
He Sees Not
That
He Is Playing With King Fraud!

God Says All
Before All
Who Dwell Upon The Ball
AND
God Bears The Ball
Upon Which Men Of The Fall
Fell
AND
It Is Only Through God's Son
That The Stain Of The Fall
Can Be Dispelled!

Man Fell
Because Lying Satan
The Truth Did Not Tell
BUT
The Fallen Will Rise
IF
To The Christ-From-Death-Risen
With Their Whole Hearts
They Do Listen!

"Thus Saith The Lord!"
Is Not A Suggestion
Up For "Maybe" Consideration!
"Thus Saith The Lord!"
Is A Command
A Call To Holy Arms
Safety
From The Wicked Devil's 
Ample 
God-Denying Charms!

Debating God
Is Like Debating With The Tornadic Wind!
You Don't Know From Whence It Came!
You Don't Know How Why
It This That Way Spins!
You Don't Where It Will Touch Down!
You Don't Know If It Will Hit
Mr. Foot On His Bony-Backside
Or
On His Narrow Lantern Chin
Or
If He Will Rattle Mr. Head's Teeth
Or 
Part And Groom His Straying Gray Hair
With Some Fly-By Goat-Grease!
It Will Do As It Does Itself Please!

Take A Page
From The Book Of Righteous Job
Who
When Challenged
By The Almighty God
To State
What When Where Why
AND
How
If But Then And And And
Acknowledged With Alacrity
His Fallen-Nature 
Not-God Deficiency
AND
Stated Clearly To His Maker
That He
- Shamefaced -
Will Close His Mouth
... And Did!
He Did Not His Father-God 
Inerrant
Able
Deny!

Man's Tradition Is Not God's Doctrine
AND
Man's Doctrines 
Are Not God's Commands
AND
All Who Command Otherwise
Will Face The Wrath
Of The Conquering Lamb
The Holy Son Of God
The Only Savior Of The Kind Called 
Man!



Pssst?!
Tell Me, If You Will ...
Where And How
Do YOU
On This Matter
Stand!!??
