Desire The Best Gifts!


Luke 12:15 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Covetousness 
Is 
A Kin To Idolatry 
And 
Neither A Covetous Person Nor An Idolater 
Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God 
For These Are Sins Against The Holy God! 

Beloved, 

We Have The Word Of Almighty God 
As The Anchor For Our Purchased Souls 
And 
He Has Promised To Provide For Us
And 
Protect Us! 

Our Blessing, Giving, Forgiving, Faithful God
Has Given Unto Us The Gifts Of Prayer
The Unfailing Blessing Of Faith 
And 
The Pure Lubricant Of Trust 
To Daily ... Moment By Moment ... Use 
To Secure That Which We Need
And
Not What Our Greedy Hearts, Eyes And Stomachs Covet 
Aka Inordinately, Evilly, Desire! 

Remember ... 

Achan Wanted Babylonia Garments, Silver And Gold
Balaam Wanted Unrighteous Wealth
King Saul Kept Cursed But Fat Cattle
Disciple Judas Wanted Silver For Selling The Savior
And 
Ananias And Sapphira Wanted The Praise Of Men
For A Lie Over A Gift Of Their Own Money
Which They Had Not Given To God As They Said!
These All Died Lost To The Kingdom Of God! 

Little With Contentment
Is
Great Gain! 

The Soul With A Contented Spirit
- A Heart For Christ -
Can Eat "Grass" And Get Fat 
So Be Contented! 

Note This Well ... 

If You Really Want Something To Desire
Boldly Desire The Keys To The Eternal Kingdom
The Crown Of Life
Immortality
Incorruptibility
The Robe Of Righteousness
The Harp Of Gold
The New Name
The Overcomer's Palm
The Place Prepared For You In The Father's House 
And 
A Seat At The Welcome Home Table! 

Dare To Desire All Of Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts:

  • Desire The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding
  • Desire To Drink From The River Of The Water Of Life
  • Desire To Eat From The Tree Of Life
  • Desire To Be Indwelt By The Holy Spirit Who Is Almighty God
  • Desire Jesus Christ And The Living Kingdom
  • Desire To Be Taught Of Almighty God

VANITY: Covetousness

The Heart Devoid Of The Love Of God
And
Despising The Word Of Truth
Wants What It Wants
When It Wants It
And
All Proprieties Be Damned! 
Word On The Street:


I Breathe Therefore I AM!
Gimme: I Want ... It!


Image result for luke 12:15 kjv



Thou Shalt Not Covet Your Neighbor's Possessions
Is 
The Tenth Commandment 
And 
The Lord Christ Who Gave It 
- To Show Us How To Operate 
In Our Relations With Our Fellowman -
Promises Never To Leave Us ... Or Forsake Us! 
The Lord Always Provides!

Covetousness Doubts The Sovereign Will 
And 
The Holy Word Of Almighty God 
And 
Is Idolatry ... False Worship
And 
No Covetous Person Shall Enter The Holy City! 

Beloved,
Let's Remember That Covetousness 
Is 
Of Satan ...  The Piercing Serpent
Who In His Former Life As Lucifer ... The Light Bearer
Started War In Heaven 
By Coveting The Position 
And 
The Worship Of The Son Of God! 

Covet Once, Covet Always ...

Satan Brought Death To Us All 
By Beguiling, Fooling, Eve 
Into Coveting  The Wisdom Of God
To Be As God
- The Pride Of Life -
Through The Lust Of Her Eyes
And 
Her Taste Buds ... The Lust Of Her Flesh! 

A Condemned Angel
Doesn't Care Whom He Causes
To Be Likewise Condemned!

Almighty God Isn't A Lying Man ...

What The Lord Promises To Provide For Us 
Is 
Plainly Enumerated And Designated
So Let Us Practice Gratitude And Contentment
And 
Be At Peace With The God Of Mercy, Love And Grace
And 
With Every Man!

Don't Vex Your Spirit
Over The Useless Vanity!

Brethren, Beloved

Vanity 
Is 
A Broken Person 
Looking In A Circus Mirror 
Which Faithfully Shows Every Perspective 
Except The Truth! 

When We Look At Life Through The Lens Of Truth
- The Gospel Of Grace - 
All Our Murmurings
And 
All Our Vexations ... Cease 
And 
We Are In Humble Peace 
With Our Gracious, Giving, Blessing, Holy God! 

Consider This, Therefore
And
Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation:
There Ain't No Vain Soul 
Who Knows What It Is To Be Humble! 


Meekness Aka Humility
Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit:
Choose To Believe
The Eternal Word Of
The Holy God Faithful!

Remember:
You're Worth More Than A Sparrow
And
You Don't Need To Own The Supermarket
To Be Able To Eat Food

And

You Ain't God
So You Don't Need Worship!

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!

When Greed Is A Creed




When greed is your creed
There is a need
To water your greed's seed!

When greed is your creed
There is a pressing need
Your growing greed to constantly feed!

Greed is a seed
A seed with a need
To grow and expand
Engulfing the man
Who refuses to stand
Upon the firmest of ground
Hard rock - not sand!

I tell you today
Come away - don’t delay
For greed costs - it don’t pay!



Greed is a greedy sow
Always saying “Feed me! Feed me, now!”
Rutting, digging in like a plow
Greed wants more now
Right now. Right now!

The seed of greed is a deadly
Its a right deadly sin
Never looking up outward
Always in - deep within
It forswears the host's family
It denies the host’s will
All it ever wants is
Plenty of swill! Please fill! Fill! FILL!!

Commonsense has no bedding
Reason has no legs
The old god that has preeminence is
The god of Please Fill
Me with some goodies
I like how they taste,
Their feel on the tongue
Gives a most glorious cheap thrill!

Then

One day comes the reckoning
The Reckoner is He
Who made each a creature
A worshiper of God to be
Not to worship king mammon
Not to worship Evil Lore
Not to worship the old stomach
That has no stopper
And made with elastic for sure!

Walk away, I beseech you
Ask King Jesus for help
Place your all on His Altar
And you will be helped
To deny the world
Its bounties, its needs
And to kill off most assuredly
That pig called Hog 'N Greed!

Pray for relief today
Pray for relief and say
I give Lord, my will, my way
I’m Yours, I’ll follow You all the way...
HOME!
