Heavenly Wisdom ... And Wise Men!



August 26, 2019 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - James 3:17 ...

The Wisdom Of The Wise
Precludes Righteous Men
From
Abiding Lies!


In Contrast To The Heavenly Wisdom
Earthly Wisdom Invites Envy And Strife
Other Than Pure Thoughts
And 
Manners That Are Less Than Acceptable
And For Sure 
Not Praise-Worthy In The Christian 
Determined 
And 
Striving To Arrive Safely In Beulah Land
The New Jerusalem! 

Striving For The Mastery Of Self
- Striving For The Perfection Of Christian Character -
Is 
What We Should Be Doing Moment By Moment
Day By Day 
And 
We Should Cease From Indulging In Strife-Making 
And 
Being Entangled In The Strife That 
Satan And His Minions
- The Emissaries Of Destruction -
Are Weaving And Placing Around Us
To Cause Us To Fall From Grace
The Grace That Is Sufficient 
For Our Every Need And Care! 

Beloved, 

Many Of Us Are Using "Our Christianity" As A Foil 
And 
Are Saying To All Hearers That We Don't Like War! 

Surprise!!!
We Don't Like War 
But
We Do Love To Start Riots! 
Stop It! 

As A Matter Of Fact ...

There Will Be No Lawless Warmonger 
Or Rioter 
Or Envious
Or Covetous 
Or Dirty-Minded Potty-Mout' Hypocrites 
In The Kingdom Of Light! 

Be Wise, Wise ...

Brethren,

Let's Dare To Be Different! 
Let's Walk On The Straight And Narrow Way 
So That We May Cross The Separating Line 
To See Our King In All His Glory! 

Let's Walk Righteously 
- According To Christ's Christianity - 
So That We Will Be Blessed 
And 
Saved 
And 
Forever Blessed! 

Remember ...

There Is No Law That Will Stand Against 
A Meek And Gentle Spirit! 
Time Is Made For Change! 
Blessings Be Upon You! 
Peace!

Weakness Of Self!

It Was A Supremely Beautiful Day!
Whole Heart And Bold Heart
- Brethren In The Faith -
Were In Companionable Silence
Enjoying A Moment's Respite From 
The Myriad Challenges That Daily Face Those 
Who Choose To Walk Wisely With Jesus Christ The Lord
When The Big Boy Of Brighton 
- Weakness Of Self -
Broke Into Their Reverie!
The Interruption Is Anticipated
Expected
And 
Dreaded! 

Bubbles Are Going To Be Burst! 
Pride Is Going To Be Cast Down To The Ground! 
Public Sin Is Going To Be Confronted! 
Feelings Are Going To Be Hurt! 
Tempers Are Going To Flare! 
The Word Of The Eternal God 
Is 
Going To Be Shared
And
The Name Of Almighty God
- For Which He Is Known Jealous -
Is 
Going To Be Vindicated

And

It Is Hoped ... By The Lord's Great Grace
That A Sinner ... Repentant
Will Confess Known Sin To The Eternal God
To Be Saved And Forever Blessed! 

Weakness Of Self Is Blessed! 
His Quiver Is Full! 
His Home Is Allegedly, Supposedly, Apparently, Happy! 
His Wife Is A Willing Servant In The Service Of The Lord
And


He Is Rich In The Pocket!
He Is Also An Ordained Pastor!

Whole Heart And Bold Heart
Have Importunately Prayed To The Lord Over This Meeting
Because Of, Well, Ahh
The Delicate Nature Of The Subject Matter! 

It Started This Way ... 

It Was Being Said By Certain Folk That 
Weakness Of Self Is A Lay Preacher (Wink, Wink)
When A Letter Arrived In The Church Office
Accusing Weakness Of Self 
Of Eating A Box! 

Eating A Box Of What!?! 

Whole Foods Sells Their Food At The Hot Bar 
In A Brown Box! 

Big Deal! 
He Was Eating Out! 

They Thought Nothing More On The Matter
Until A Few Days Later 
When The Evidence Appeared! 

There ... Sail In The Wind
Was Weakness Of Flesh
In Living Color
In Flagrante Delicto! 

The Telephone Rang
And
Whole Heart Nearly Had A Stroke
When It Was Disclosed That
The Evidence Was Also In A National Rag
With Obvious International Reach! 

You May Well Imagine The Fall-Out! 

Fast Forward ... 

Meeting Is In Session
And
Presented With The "Evidence"
Weakness Of Self Decided To Brazen It Out! 

Brethren, 

Don't Be Bold When You're Wrong! 
That's What Got Achan Executed! 

Back To The Meeting ... 

Letting The Holy Spirit Lead
Whole Heart And Bold Heart
Allowed Weakness Of Flesh
To Wax Poetical
And
As Was His Won't 
To Pontificate ... In An Extraordinary Fashion! 

They Did Not Interrupt ... At All
And
That Is When Weakness Of Self 
Became Exceedingly Uneasy
And
Stopped Moralizing
Stopped Justifying!
Stopped Being Sanctimonious! 

He Knew He Was Caught Dead To Rights
And
He Knew He'd Have To 'Fess Up
But
The Scourge Of Every Man
- Pride -
Did A Usual 
When Suddenly ... Quietly ... Firmly

Whole Heart Addressed Bold Heart
And
Started Talking About 
Joseph, Son Of Jacob-Israel
And 
The Potiphar's Whorish Wife! 

Weakness Of Flesh Gasped
And
Turned White Like A Sheet! 

They Waited To Make Sure That He Was Okay
And
Then They Continued Calmly Talking Together! 

Weakness Of Flesh Wanted To Run
But
As He Said Later
He Felt Like He Was Glued To His Seat!

He Also Said That He Knew He Was Done For
When Whole Heart And Bold Heart
Lovingly Quoted



And Then ... With Compassion
Spoke To Him, Thusly:

As People Of The Lord Of Life
Living According To The Holy Word
We Cannot At The Same Time 
Be People Of The World: 
We Only Live In The World As Pilgrims 
Headed Toward The Heavenly Home! 

We Are Striving For Christ-Like Characters 
Which Cannot Be Acquired 
By Being Friends With The World
And
Breaking The Ten Commandments
As That Would Make Us Enemies Of Almighty God! 

We Cannot Serve Two Masters 
So Let Us Endeavor To Serve God Acceptably 
With Holy Trembling And Godly Fear Aka Awe! 

The Commandments Are A Hedge Of Protection: 
Let Us Stay Behind It 
Since It Is Our Soul's Desire
To Be Ever Safe 
And 
Eternally Blessed!

As Regards Weakness Of Flesh
He Was Broken!
He Was Defrocked
But
He Was Not Discarded
Cast Off
Cast Out! 

Seeing The Error Of His Ways
And
Being Convicted Of Sin
And
Convinced Of Righteousness
He Later Stood Up Before The Whole Congregation
Speaking With A Contrite Heart
And
Confessed His Public Sin
Against The Holy God! 

He Acknowledged His Pride
His Unholy Passions
And
Accepting That He Knew Better
And 
Should Have Done Better
He Spoke Through Tears
Of The Sordid Temptations
Pastors And Preachers Face
From The Wiles Of 
Nubile And Voluptuous Women And Girls 
In The Congregation
Who Seem Bent On Doing The Devil's Work 
From The Church's Pews! 

Weakness Of Flesh Did Not Cast Blame!
He Took Responsibility For His Own Actions
And 
He Simply Stated The Facts
And Then
He Said The One Thing That Broke The Church:

I'm Glad This Denouement Happened! 
The Lord Hasn't Left Me To Destroy My Soul That 
He Purchased With His Innocent Blood! 

Lord, 
Please Forgive Me! 
I Am Truly Sorry
For Casting Your Holy Name Down In The Mud
For Giving Satan
Something With Which
To Accuse The Brethren
And
Most Of All, Lord
I Am Sorry, So Sorry
For Crucifying You Afresh! 

Thank You, Father
For Loving This Prodigal
For Not Giving Up On Sinful Me!
Thank You For This Second Chance! 

After All These Years Of Ministry, Father
I, Now, Truly Understand
The Savior's Words To Apostle Peter:

And When Thou Art Converted
Strengthen The Brethren! 

Brethren, 
Pray And Plead For Me! 
I Love The Lord But I Lived For My Flesh! 
I Taught The Word! 
I Did Not Live The Word! 
I Did Not Eat The Flesh Or Drink The Blood Of Jesus! 
I Did Not Consume The Manna Of Heaven 
From Which I Would Have Received Life! 

I Did Not Take To Heart
The Words Of The Sweet Psalmist Of Israel:

Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart
That I Might Not Sin Against Thee! 

Brethren, 
Were The Lord Not A Merciful God
I Would Have Committed That Sin 
And Immediately Died 
Effectively Closing My Eternal Account With Almighty God
And Consigning My Soul To Everlasting Separation For The Lord! 

I Stand Before You A Sinner ... Saved At Last! 
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin Unforgiven
But I Am Blessed To Be Here Confessing And Repenting
And Acknowledging My Real Need For Jesus Christ
Our Only Savior! 

As I Confess My Known Sin
I Know That He Will Forgive Me
Because He Is Just And He Is Faithful
To Keep All Of His Promises! 

Brethren, 
Do Not Doubt Almighty God: He Means What He Says! 
Do Not Tempt Almighty God: We Are Mortal!
And Do Not Sorrow Over Sin
Because Of The Price That You Must Pay!
Please Express Godly Sorrow Because Sin Is Exceedingly Sinful
And Is An Affront To The Holy God
Who Gave His Best To Save Us At Our Worse! 

Please Don't Accept The Pleasures Of Sin ... For The Season!
Seasons Change
But Sin Will Always Be Sinful
Because There Is No Reason
And No Excuse For It! 

Please, I Beseech You
Do Not Do As I Did And Use Weakness Of Self 
As An Ever-Ready Excuse To Sin 
And Don't Use "Overwhelming" Temptation 
As The Reason For Sin! 
The Lord Makes A Way Of Escape
From Every Temptation That Is Common To Man
So That We Are Able To Stand
And Have Victory Over Sin!

I Sinned Because I Wanted, Desired, To Sin! 
King Solomon Was Right: All Is Vanity
And Vanity Vexes The Soul!

Nobody Forced Me To Sin
Because The Lord Has Made Sure That 
That Can Never Happen! 

We Each Have A Sovereign Will
That Cannot Be Usurped
By Neither Satan Nor The Savior! 

My Sin Is My Own
And Before Almighty God
And In Your Presence
I Sincerely Confess That I Am Guilty
And State With Humility That 
I Repent Of My Sin
And That By God's Grace
And With Your Loving Help ... I Appeal For It
I Turn Away From Sin And Sinning
And I Will Be Walking ... Wiser
With A Humbled Heart
With Shamefacedness 
- Thankfully Not Damned By The Holy God -
Toward New Jerusalem
The Holy City Of God! 

Weakness Of Flesh Left The Altar Of God
Singing:

Father, Lead Me Day By Day
Ever In Your Own Sweet Way! 
Teach Me To Be Pure And True! 
Show Me What I Ought To Do! 

Just So You'd Know ...

The National Rag Did Not Publish 
That Confession And Repentance Is Good For All Souls
That Amends Are Being Publicly Made

And Best Of All

That There Is Singing Up In Heaven
For The Lost Sheep
Who Is Returned Unto The Safe Fold Of Almighty God
- Who Sees, Feels, Knows And Is in All -
Over The Repentant Sinner
 Who Is Finally Come ... HOME! 

Humble Yourself
And
Harden Not Your Heart
So That Where There Is Life In You
There Is Hope
For
Your Soul's Salvation!

Jesus Christ: S. A. D.

She Said Jesus Christ Is Sad!

He Is!

Why Is He Sad!?!

He Isn't!

Come Again!?!
Either He's Sad Or He Isn't!
He Can't Be Both!

He Is ...!

... He Isn't!

Will Somebody Please Explain To Me
Why Jesus Is Either Sad Or Not!?!

Jesus Christ Is

S avior
A dvocate
D eliverer


So, For Short
Jesus Is S. A. D.!

He Is G.L.A.D.

G od
L ord
A dvocate
D eliverer

He Is A G.L.A.S.S.

A
G racious
L oving
A vailable ... Accessible
S anctifier
S hepherd And Shield

Oh! 
Okay! I'll Remember That!

Now Getting Back To Our Study ...




Psalm 19:7
The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect
Converting ... The Soul!

How Can The Moral Law Of God Be Abolished
When It Is That Which Converts The Soul!?!

It Can't!
Without Moral Law
There Is Only Crime And Chaos Left!

The Holy Spirit God Is Real
And
Is Our Only Defence Against Sinning!
He Teaches!
He Guides!
He Chides
And
He Leads Us Into All Truth
So The Question Must Be Asked:

How Shall We Escape 
If 
We Neglect So Great A Salvation!?!

We Won't!
The Word Of God Is True
And It Stands Eternally
And It Is By That Word
That All Flesh Shall Be ... With Finality
Judged! 

Alrighty, Then!
I Am Almost Persuaded
But I Need A More Convenient Time
To Commit To The Ways Of The Lord
That Will Lead Me Into Soul-Saving Truth!

I Am Praying For You!

Those Words Are The Words 
Used By Governor Felix
And
King Agrippa
And
Neither Of Them "Found" The More Convenient Time
Nor Were Finally Persuaded
And
They Are Both Lost To The Living Kingdom!

Now Is The Acceptable Time!

Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Be Ye Warned And Armed ...

A Neglected Child Hurts!!
A Neglected Soul Sins
A Neglected Wound Putrifies!
The Neglected Savior Cries!
A Neglected Love Languishes!
A Neglected Salvation Sours!
The Neglected Holy Spirit Leaves
The Soul That Sins, Dies
Because
It Does Not Known-Sin Escry Aka Call-out
Because
Self Is To Self Sacrosanct
Elevated
Praised
And
The Lord Of Life Is Cast Aside
Because
We Refuse To Use The 
"Yes, Lord! Your Servant Is Listening!" 
By Which Means We Can Boldly Defy The Fraud
Satan
The Wannabe God!

Oh, Please!
Satan Is A Lying, Murdering
Deceitful, Snake Of An Ingrate!
Tell That Felicia, Bye, Bye!

Those Few Words Are Easily Spoken
But
Without The Grace Of The Eternal God
The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit
And
The Protection And Good Influence Of
The Holy Angels
We Will All Perish!

Brethren, Beloved

On The Living, Holy, Exalted, Christ Jesus
Let Us Rely!
Soon He Is Coming Back To Earth
And
We Shall Surely Tell Sin, Satan, Sorrow, Sadness
Self, Death, Hell And The Cold Grace
Goodbye!

It Is My Prayer Of Faith ... Nothing Wavering 
That We Shall All Meet In The New Jerusalem
In That Time  
After The Lord Christ Breaches The Eastern Sky!

AMEN!!!

POTHOLES ... On The High Way Of Truth!

There Are Potholes On The High Way
The High Way Of Truth
And
For Those With The Wherewithal
There Are Preferential Detours
So That Their Cherished Wheels Do Not Come Loose!

On The High Way Of Truth
There Are Travelers Proud And Vain
And 
There Are Also Travellers
Who Humbly, Joyfully, Proclaim 
The Coming Great King's Fame!

What Many Travelers Do Not Realize
Is 
That The Potholes Are There For
Their Own Soul's Preservation
Because
The Drop Into The Pothole
Snaps One Out Of Complacency
Awakens One From Sleep
Causes One To Question Their Idea Of Reality
Rattles One's Teeth Against Temptation
Tears Off The Wheels Of 
The Chariot Going Confidently The Wrong Way
Blows Out The Air Of The Proudly Overfilled Wheel Of 
The One Too Proud To Pray
And
Bends The Chassis Of The One Too Rich To Be Humble
And
Too Arrogant To Pay Attention
To The Small Thing Big Called Truth 
Aka The Lord's Delight
Whether It Is Day Or Night!

Brethren, Beloved
Do Not Despise The Truth!
Do Not Despise The Challenges 
On The Way Of Life
And
Do Not The Call To Salvation Refuse!

Truth Was!
Truth Is!
Truth Always Shall Be
And
All Those Willing And Obedient
To Travel The Way Godly
Shall Have Truth For A Garment
A Shield
A Sword
A Helmet
A Girdle
And
Shoes Indestructible
Good
Assuring Entrance
Into The Eternal City
The New Jerusalem
The City Of God
The City Of Purest Gold!


Keep Truth In Your Inward Parts!
On Truth Take A Strangle Hold!
Speak Truth Always
And
Be Uncompromising!
Be Anchored-In-Christ Bold!

HAPPY SABBATH + Soul Food!?! + PRAYER: Help Me, Lord, To Do Better!







Thoughtless Words
Harsh Words
Foolish Words
Careless Utterance
And
Bitter Remonstrance
All Speak To What You Are Your Soul Feeding
Be It By Reading
Seeing
Hearing
Thinking Or Cherishing!

Words Spoken
Tell The Hearers
What It Is That You Are Really Eating!

I Know What You Mean
Because Recently
I Butt Up On Myself
And It Was Gravel In My Mouth!
There Had Not Been Any Good Eating!

Wow!
Tasting Your Own Words!
How Did You Like Them Apples!?!

I Didn't 
And Neither Did The One On The Receiving End!

Did You Forget?!

Forget!?!
Man, I Didn't Take Time To Remember!
I Said: ABC!
Carly Said: 123
And, I
- In High Dungeon -
Handed Her The Rest Of The Alphabet
In Color
In Stereo
In Rage
In Disrespect
In Folly
And, Now
I Stand Before You Chastened
Having Walked Around In ... Shame!

That Must Have Been
One Seriously Negative Feeding Frenzy
You Must Have Been On
To Unload On Her Like That!

It Sure Was!

It Was A Dark Lord Special Delight ...

I Had Feasted On:

Bran Bread Of Bitterness
Butter From The Bilge Water Of Bile
Pickles Of Pettiness
Putrid Patty Of Imagined Penury
Tomatoes Of Toasted-Temperance
Lawless Lettuce
Pity-Me Potatoes
Apple Pie Of Avarice
And Ice Cream Of Indignation

So What Was Your Chaser?!

I Had Me A Long Glass Of Mauby Of Malice And Malignity
Over Cracked Ice
And A Liberal Spash Of Icy Disdain!

Lord A'mighty!
You Must Have Been Born In A Barn!

If You'd Been Born In A Stable
You Would've Known Better
And Done Better ...!

... And She Would Have Remembered That
A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
And Recognized That Silence Is Golden!

By Their Fruit ...

Lacy, This Is Serious!
How Could You
A Practicing Christian
Fall Into That Cess Pit!?!

I Didn't Fall In!
I Boldly Walked In!

You'd Better Explain That Statement!

All I'm Saying Is
You Speak What You Eat!

So You're Saying That You Really Did That Deed
With Unadulterated Malice!?!

Of Course!
I Was Just Waiting For An Excuse!
Any Excuse!

Let Me Get This Straight:
You Fed You Soul Crap
So That You Could Deliver Incredible Excrement!?!

Since You Put It Like That, Yes!
And I Feel So Dirty!

You Should!
What You Did Was Deliberately Sinful!

Don't Forget Presumptuous!

Please Add On Cruel And Unkind!

Hateful Is My Description, Oh, Friend Of Mine!

Exceedingly Foolish Is My Take!
You've Been Unwisely Encouraging The Known Fake!
Don't You Know That Much Is At Stake!
Don't Your Realize That
With Your Cherishing That Foul Attitude
You Will Not Your Residence
In New Jerusalem Make!?!

I Know! I Know!

Big Question ...

Where Is The Repentance For That Debacle!?!

Believe Me! It's Here!
I've Been Tasting It!
Hence The Gravel In My Mouth!

I Had To Repent Twice!
Once To My Heavenly Father
And Once To My Dear Friend!

Was It Worth The Cost!?!

That's An Emphatic "No!"

I Sincerely Pray That You Change Your Diet!

Changed And Changing
But
I Am Now Seriously Concerned
About My ...!

... Unfavorable Influence ...!

... Upon Others!

Let This Be A Lesson
To All Of Us Who Here Hear
That Words Have Life
And
When They Are Weaponized
They Inveigle Us In The Great Controversy's Strife!

We Can Worship The Devil!
We Can Worship The Lord!
But
There Is The Difference Which Comes
From The Utterance Of The Singularly False Word!
People See!
People Hear!
And
People Understand Your Intent
And
Your Unwise Words
Can Send Them To The Wrong Camp
The Camp Of The Enemy
The Enemy Of Souls
Who Has For His Life's Work
The Damnation Of Your Already Bought
And
Purchased-From-Death Soul!

What A Hellish Goal!

Keep Away From His Fold!

If We Live And Work And Love
As The Good Master Told
We ... None Of Us
Won't Work For That Gross Nave
Beelzebub The Bold!

Indeed!
On This Truth, I'm Sold!


PRAYER :

Heavenly Father,

God Of Mercy
Grace And Love
Forgive Me My Trespass
For Not Speaking
From A Heart Operating Under The Influence
Of
Jesus Christ's Pure And Holy Love!


I Spoke A Harsh Word

A Word Not Kind
A Word Not Fit 
For The Faithful
And
In So Doing
I Misrepresented You
The God Almighty
Holy, Wise, Divine!


Help Me, Lord

To Do Better
To Live As One Wise And True
And
Please Help Me
To Live For And As My Jesus Did
For
It Is My Heart's Desire
With You
In New Jerusalem To Live!


Hear My Prayer, Lord 

And
Bless Me To Do Your Will
And
Blessing Me So That I May Be A Blessing
To The Family Of The Living God!

I Ask These Mercies
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
I Love You, Lord!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.
