SOUL-STRENGTHENING ACTIONS: Kindness Cures Cruelty!








No One Owes You A Gift 
So No Matter Its Cost 
Or From Whom You Received It
It Is A Blessing: 
Give Heartfelt Thanks! 

Being Maliciously Rude 
And 
Unkind To Others To Feel Good About Yourself 
Is 
Cruel And Ungodly: 
Look To Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
And 
Stop The Rubbish 
Since There Is No Blessing That 
Attends Such Reprehensible Behavior! 

No Human Being Is Your Servant 
Unless You Are Paying For The Privilege Of 
Utilizing Their Services: 
Lower Your Pompous Pride Flag 
And 
Do As The Savior Asks: 
Be Humble, Just, Righteous, And True! 

Shredding Someone's Confidence 
To Appear High And Mighty Before Your Friends 
And 
Other Like-Minded Associates 
Shows You To Be Mean-Spirited And Small-Minded: 
Take Your Mind And Your Manners Out  Of The Sewer 
Or That Is As High As You'll Rise: 
Stop Being Satan's Servant! 

Beloved, 

Too Many Of Us Utilizing The Name Christian 
Are Walking Tall As Tithe-Returning
Psalm-Singing
Bible-Thumping Cretins! 
Stop The Rot!

Let's Just Get Off The Slow-Boat To Hell And Damnation 
By The Available, Saving, Grace Of The Eternal God 
And 
Humbly Ask Our Savior For New Hearts
New Minds
New Thoughts 
And 
New Desires For Soul-Strengthening Actions! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Christians Cannot Copy The Worldly-Wise 
And 
Still Win The Sin Over-Comer's Crown Of Life! 

Do Good And Right 
To Take Flight 
And 
Eternally Live In Living Light! 

Evil Eliminates Blessings! 

Kindness Cures Cruelty! 

Fervent Prayer Frees! 

Peace Be Unto You!



Peace With Almighty God
Is
Precious!

THE INWARD LOOK: Spiritual Stock-Taking






What Are You Saying!?! 
Are You Aware Of What It Is That You Are Saying!?! 
Do You Understand That Your Mouth Speaks That 
Which Has Found A Home In Your Heart!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

We Should All Be In The Season Of Stock-Taking 
And 
We Seriously Need To Personally Take Stock 
Take Knowledge Of What Things Are In 
The Various Departments Of The Storeroom That 
Is 
Our Heart! 

Where Is Love!?! 
Love For Christ!?! 
Love For Others!?! 

Have You Discarded Hate For Your Fellowman!?! 
Are You Indulging Hatred For Sin!?! 

Are You Cultivating Kindness, Caring
And 
Willing Service!?! 

Have You Discarded Spite, Malice, Greed
And 
Envy!?! 

Is Your Supply Of Saving Truth Daily Growing!?! 

Have You Discarded Lying, Innuendo, Half-Truth 
And 
Raging Deceit!?! 

Have You Ordered An Abundance Of Hope!?! 

Are You Actively Working Faith For Today!?! 

Are You Cultivating Prayer, Gratitude, Thankfulness 
And 
Willing Obedience!?! 

The Inward Look ... 

Please Take A Good Look At Your Heart! 
Open Every Department And Compartment 
And
Get Out The Gospel Hose 
And By Grace
Set The Pressure To New Heart 
And
Do The Necessary 
No Matter How Much It Hurts: 
Jesus Christ Heals Hurts! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Wrong Words
Just Like Spent Arrows 
And 
Lost Opportunities
Cannot Be Recalled 
But
You Can Start A New Thought 
And
Have A Godly Conversation 
The Likes Of Which Will Please Our Dear Lord! 

Kind Words Aid Sleep! 

Choose The Peace Of God!

Create In Me ...!


PSALMS 51:10 KJV "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a ...

As The Songwriter Says
"Creation Shows The Power Of God: 
There's Glory All Around: 
Miracles Abound!" 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe In 
And 
Trust The Lord Of Life
The Creator God
Jesus Christ The Lord
Know That The Godhead Three 
Were All Present At Creation 
And That The Holy Spirit Moved
And 
Brought Forth Light To Illuminate The Darkness
Added Substance To Nothingness
Gave Form To Formlessness 
And 
Made The Emptiness To Teem With Abundance 
And 
Lush Life
And 
The Eternal God Made Man The Crowning Glory Of
Almighty God's Creation! 

With A Clean Heart ... For God
And 
A Right Spirit ... To Embrace 
And Love And Live 
The Saving Truth Of God Who Loves Us 
And 
Died 
And 
Yet Lives To Save Us To Enter The Heavenly Home
We Are Blessed ... Infinitely Blessed
Prepared, Willing, Ready
And
Able To Enjoy Our Assigned 
And 
Pleasant Work From 
And 
For The Lord Christ! 

Brethren, 

Every One Of Us Headed To The Heavenly Land 
Promised, Purchased 
And 
Provided By Our Prince Immanuel
- Our God Who Lives With Us - 
Should Make "Create In Me ...!" 
A Matter Of Daily Prayer 
And 
See It As A Constant Call To Cooperation With Our King
Our High Priest
Our Perfect Peace
Our Holy Power
The Object Of Our Worship
The Beneficiary Of Our Constant Praise! 

I Humbly Beseech Us All
To Please Faithfully, Enduringly 
Obediently Work At It: 
Wearing The Crown Of Life Depends On It! 

Peace!

The Savior Is Knocking
And
Waiting On Your Answer:
Open The Door
And
Enthusiastically Invite Him In! 

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

We Are Hungry
And
The Good Lord Has Blessed Food:
Request The Promised Share
And
Enjoy The Feast!

TIRED OF RUNNING: The Soul's Desire!

Intellect, Emotions And Will
Were In The Midday Sermon At
The Christian Ministry Mission Int'l, Inc.
Ready Some Sweet Soul To Fill
Either As Individuals, A Duet Or A Trio! 

The Menu Was Hearer's Choice!

Some Parishioners Came Only To Be Thrilled!

Maxi Peace-Meal Was An Intellectual Fraud!
He Loved To Say "Book-It!"
But
He Was An Ephraim!
He Was Into False Gods!

Merlene Mansour Was Excitable
Loving Bells And Whistles
Thrills And The Feels
But
Was Searching For A Good And Strong Tree
And 
Was In The Preacher's Hand
So Much Malleable Putty!
She Seemed Not To Realize That It Is Jesus Christ
Who Saves
And
Not The Tree!!

Milton Burly
Had Kissed The World And Liked It
And
Had Driven Too And Fro Around It
An Amazing Time Or Two
But
He Had Had His Fill
- He Had Learned From Wise King Solomon -
And
Was Seriously Looking To Put To Better Use His Will
So, He Was Decidedly Open That Day 
To The Holy Spirit's Call
Ready
Before The Lord Of Life
In Total Surrender To Fall
If ...!

What's That!?!

The Lord Of Life
Our Creator
Our Redeemer
Our One True Friend Says:
Come ... Let Us Reason Together!

Wait A Minute!
I Can Actually Have A Back And Forth Conversation
With The God Of The Universe!?!!


He Is Saying To You, Oh, Searching Soul:
Call On Me And I Will Answer You
And Show You Great And Mighty Things
About Which You Know Nothing!

What!?! 
The Lord GOD Eternal Is Willing
To Teach Me Personally!?!!


The Holy God
Is Asking All You Who Labor
And Are Heavy Laden With Sorrow
With Needs
Cultivated Tendencies
Inherited Tendencies
You Who Need Unfailing Love
Hope
Blessings
Peace ... And Rest
And Forgiveness
And Cleansing From Cherished Sins
To Come Unto Him ... As You Are!

He Will Wash You Of Your Scarlet Sins
And He Will Make Them White As Snow!
If Your Sins Are Red Like Crimson
He Will Make Them As Wool!
He Will Make You Anew!
He Will Accept You Into His Heart
Into His Family
And He Has Promised To Provide A Place
Personally ... For You
In One Of The Mansions
In His Father's House!

Eh! Eh! 
A Personal God
Means He Knows My Name!


It Makes Sense! 
It Feels Right!
I Can Hear His Voice Calling My Name!
He Knows Me!


Jesus Christ Says To You, Sinner
And That Means Me, Too:
It Is Not His Desire That Any One Of You Should Be Lost
And He Has Plainly Indicated His Will
By Adding This Promise:

All That The Father Hath Given To Me
Shall Come To Me
And He That Cometh To Me
I Will In No Wise Cast Out!


But, Beloved
There Is A Proviso!

Rats!
There's Always A Catch!


Confess Your Sin!
Repent Of The Past!
Do A U-Turn!
See That You Turn To Christ!
Now!
Today!
Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

Hello!!
I Can Do This!

If I Confess My Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
To Forgive ... Me ... Of My Sin
And To Cleanse Me Of
All ... All ... All Unrighteousness!


He Will Give You His Character For Your Stained One!
Give Up Your Sin!
Be Bold!
The Door Of Mercy Is Here And Now
Open Wide! 

Take The First Step
And With Him, Forevermore
He Invites You To Abide!

Abiding Love!
Amazing Grace!
Mercy Is Free
For Me, For Thee! 

Do Not Look Back
Nor Turn Side To Side!
From Sin Turn Around
And Through All The Changing Scenes Of 
Your Life
Almighty God's Grace And Mercy
Will Abound!

Don't Lie To Yourself!
Don't Hide!

... And I Get Faith For Free! 
Mercy For Free! 


There's Provision!
There's Protection!
There's Power ...!
... I Must Give Praise!


Lord, 
I Make The Transaction! 
I Am Yours! 
Please Fill My Heart! 
Help Me To Change My Ways!
 
I Give You My Will!
I Long To Belong To You! 
I Desire Everlasting Days!

Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 
Do Not Pass Me By! 


I See Your Hand Extended! 
Help Me To Hold On To You! 
I Do Not Want Ever Again 
To Believe Satan's Pretty Lies!


I Want Around Zion One Great Day To Fly!

I Desire To Drink Of The Water Of The River Of Life!
I Desire To Eat Of The Tree Of Life!

Lord, Please Help Me!
I Surrender! 
I Desire The Lord Christ!

You Know How To Pray ...! + PRAYER: Father, Make Me A Fit Vessel!

You Know How To Pray!

Pray Without Ceasing!
When And Where Are Irrelevant
Since
Praying Without Ceasing
Takes Away Our Opportunity
To Become Ambivalent!

Self-Care Involves Prayer
Not For Things
But 
For The New Heart
Hope
Help
Healing
Grace
Faith
Surrender
Forgiveness
Blessing
Peace
Truth
Ability To Trust
And
Rest!

When You Pray
You Are Talking To Your Best Friend!
See To It That You Lay Bare You Soul!
Don't Hide Behind Clothes
Labels
Opinions
Attitudes

And
The Deceitful Desire To Hold Back!

Unlock Your Heart!
Open Your Mind's Purse!
Unclasp Your Hands!
Let The Lord Christ See Your Eyes!
Extend Your Hand!
Don't Hold Back Your Tears!
Don't Hide Your Fears!
Be Angry!
Be Happy!
Be Sad!
Be Truthful!
Be Free!
Be Open!

Peace ...

Rest In The Lover Of Your Purchased Soul
Seeking The Benefits Of That Holy Heart
Never Cold

Who For Your Peace
For Thirty Pieces Of Silver Was Sold!

Hold On For Dear Life!
Plead For Life Everlasting
And
Do Not Let Go
No Matter What Distraction In Your Life
Is 
Intrusively Persistently Knocking!

The Lord Of Life Is Ever Faithful!
Satan, At Our Cock-ups, Is Always Mocking
But
Salvation Is The Free Gift Of The Eternal God
Never, Ever, To Be Found In A Decorated Stocking!

Beloved,

Be Wise
And
Pray ... Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
Pleading For Forgiveness
And
Pray On For Available Grace
And
Learn To Be A Sheep
- Getting Rid Of Your Goat Parts 
Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit -
And
By Jesus' Holy Faith
Become A Member Of The Safe Flock
And
Enduring All Things
For The Love Of The Master
Put Your Promised Home In Heaven On Lock!



PRAYER:

Father, 
I Believe!
Please Hear And Answer My Prayer!
I Love You:
My Heart For My Lord's Residence
Please Cleanse And Prepare!
Make Me A Fit Vessel
A Welcoming Residence
A Jewel Most Precious
And
Bless Me With All Blessing
So That I Do Not Fall 
For
Fleetings Things Specious!
In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name
I Humbly Pray And Plead!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

PRAYER: I Surrender All, Lord!





By Faith, Dear Jesus
I Claim You
And
I Make You Wholly Mine
Even Though I'm Human
And
Thou Art Divine!


The Spirit Of God Called Me
And I
Free-Willed Said "Yes!"
And
To The Heavenly Father
In Your Blessed Name
My Known Sin
I - Convicted -
Now Confess!


Oh, Father To The Faithful!
Eternal God On Heaven's Throne
I Come To You Humbled
But
I Do Not Come Alone!


My Jesus!
My Savior!
Your Beloved Son
The Sinless Spotless Lamb
Is My Only Mediator
And

My Name Is Written
On His Marred But Ever Holy Hand!

Jesus, Savior
Please Plead For Me
For
Without Your Intercession
I'm Just A Dead 
Totally Lost 
Cast Out
Condemned Damned Member 
Of
The Clan Humanity!


Father,
I'm Confessing!
I'm Repenting!
I'm From Sinning Turned Away!
Jesus Christ Is My Shepherd
And
By Your Holy Spirit
I Will Follow Him Everywhere!


My Heart In Me Is Broken!
My Spirit Is Wholly Contrite!
Do Not Despise Me, Lord God
I'm Trusting In The Promises

In The Good Book Detailed!

Help Me, Dear Jesus!
Help Me Fight
For Victory Over Sin

To Stand Up In Lively Faith
And
To Hope Strong For The Ideal
Purchased For Me
On Mount Calvary!

This Is My Soul's Desire!
Help Me Or I Will Fail!

I Have Been Foolish!
I Admit It! 
I Walked With Willfully Blind Eyes
And 

I Paid Dearly For It!
Often With Regret
I Cried!

But, Now, Father
I See And Know My Need
And

It Is As The Holy Spirit Shows!

Please, I Beseech Thee
In Jesus Christ's Name
Do Not From Me
Take Your Gentle Spirit Away!


I Have No Other God!
I Have No Other Friend!
I Have No Other Home!
Lord Jesus, I Beseech You! 
Defend! Defend!

Without I Am Alone!

Please Do Not Let Me Become A Soul
From Eternal Life Turned Away!

Make Me A New Heart
A New Mind
A Willing Spirit
Make The Way Plain For Me
And
Send The Guardian
To Help Me Walk In The Truth
Steadily Firmly Faithfully Upon It!


I Give You My Life, Lord!
Use Me! 
I Am Willing! 
Bless Me And Equip Me To Serve You!
Here's My Heart! 
Please Fill It!


Father, 
By Your Sweet Spirit
I Have Decided To Follow My Jesus!


Lord Jesus,
Where You Lead Me
I Will Follow!


Oh, God Of Glory
Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit
Upon This Sinful Flesh
For I Need The Infilling!
I Desire The Cleansing!
I Desire To See Him In Peace
Who Purchased For Me
Of Holy Heaven
A Perfect Piece!


I Love You, My God!
Grant Unto Me In This Hour
Your Blessing Of Sin Relief
Your Blessing Of Perfect Peace
Your Daily Grace That Is Sufficient For Me
Your Mercy That Is Ever Free 
And
Of
Eternity To Come
A Tiny Taste!
I Worship You
Father
Son
And
Holy Spirit!
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

Peace AND Security?! + PRAYER: Father, I Expect To See My Jesus!




Worldwide Widespread Discontent
Gross Greed
Individual And State-Sponsored Violence
Universal Justified Distrust Of 
Financial
Spiritual And Political Leaders
AND
Spiritual Apathy
Are Eating Out The Hearts Of  All The Nations
AND
People Are Harkening To The Call
Of Peace
AND
Security
For All
Not Realizing
That Everything That Is Happening
Is Motivated
By The Wily Beelzebub
The Founder Of Man's Great Fall!
It's A Bait AND Switch Pitch!

The Nations Are Uniting
Under One Government
Just As They Were United
At The Time Of The Advent Called First!
AND
They Are Speaking The Same Language
- Climate Change -
- I Wish They Would Read Job Chapter 1 -
AND
As Can Be Readily Seen
They Are Ripe As Wine Grapes
For The Second Coming
Of The Lord!

There Is 
No Thing New Under The Sun!
There Is 
No Bell That Has Not Already Been Rung!
What Is 
Is What Has Been
AND
What Has Been 
Is What Shall Be!
Is The Song That Should
In Truth
Be Sung!

National Israel
Longed To Be Freed
From The Roman Yoke
AND
Spiritual Israel
The Israel Of God
Will Be Freed
From Rome
AND
That Ain't No Joke!

Don't Be Deceived
By Ecumenism!
The Roman Emperor 
Constantine The Great Did That First!
AND
Don't Be Amazed By A Roman
Calling Himself
Lord God Divine
For
The Roman Emperor Domitian 81-96 AD
Already Did That, Too!
I Tell You All This Is True!

Blood Will Flow!
Peace Will Be Like Snow
Under
Burning Hot Sun
AND
Believing Men
- At Bodily Peril -
Will Surely Call
Jesus Christ The Great God
AND
The god On The Earth
Used By
AND
Openly Working For
Satan
Will Send Many Men
To A Martyr's Fate!

BUT ...

Be Ye ENCOURAGED!

Faithfully Trust
The King Of Kings
The Lord Of Lords
The God Of Heaven
Who Has Already Ransomed Us
Out Of 
The Hands Of The Cruel Fraud!

Truth Cannot Be Changed!
AND
Jesus Christ's Return
Cannot Be Stayed!
So 
Stand Up
In The Love Of God
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
Give The Back Of Your Front
To That Fraud
Beelzebub
Who Is Already Crushed
Already Damned By 
The Holy And Almighty God!



Faith's Victory 
Is In
Christ Jesus!

Use It OR Lose It!

*********

PRAYER:

Dear Father,
Up In Heaven
I Have A Shopping List For Today
But
First
I Praise And Thank You
For
Your Providence For Yesterday
Wherein I Saw Not
Hunger Nor Thirst!

In Faith
I Ask For More Faith
Faith That Is Tested And Tried
And
I Desire The Experience Of
Knowing That Christ Jesus
Is Ever At My Side!

Lord,
I May Not Know What It Is
For Which I Am Truly Asking
But
I Believe That You Do
And
For This I Am Thankful
For
I Depend Wholly On You!

Teach Me Your Way
And
Help Me To Walk In It!
Guide My Footsteps!
Help Me To Keep Clean Lips!
And
Grant Unto Me A New Heart
Compassion To Use It
And
The Gentle Hand
To Prove It!

I Love You, Lord!
I Am Your Child
Your Servant
And
A Glad Member
Of
The Household Of Faith
And
I Fully Expect To See My Jesus
In Whose Name I Make My Plea
On
His Great And Glorious Day!
Even So
Come Soon, Lord Jesus!
AMEN.
