Be Wise To Rise To Glory!



What Have You Done For The Master!?! 

Are You Doubting What The Master Has Done
Is Doing Or Will Do For You!?! 

Are You Contemplating 
Why The Lord Needs You To Do Anything For Him 
When He Has Everything At His Disposal 
And 
Owns Everything Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown!?! 

Beloved, 

You, Personally, Are Precious, Special, To Our Dear Savior! 

No Person Living, Dead, Dying, Denying, Defying
Rigid, Rude, Recalcitrant, Or Ruthless 
Is 
Able To Change Almighty God's Love For 
And 
Desire To Have Us Accept The Gifts Given
And 
Perform Our Assignments To Gather With Him 
As We Tell The Good News Of Free-To-All Salvation
The Living God's Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, Faithfulness 
And 
Loving-Kindness 
Which Will Never Fail Us! 

You, Personally, Are The Apple Of Our Lord's Eye
The One For Whom He Poured Out His Innocent Blood 
So That You, Cleansed Thereby And Forgiven
And 
Willingly, Enduringly, Obediently Cooperating With Him
May Have His Everlasting Life! 

Please Allow The Naysayers To Swear
And 
The Gainsayers To Bray 
But
See To It, For Love Divine, That 
You Hold To Our God's Unchanging Hand 
Unphased By Opposition 
As You Love Yourself By Loving Your Savior 
By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Obey: Don't Stray! 
Pray: Don't Run Away! 
Be Wise: Rise To Stand Before The Throne Of God 
As The Obedient Child Of The King
The Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ
And 
The Trustworthy Servant Of The Eternal God! 

Peace!

Do You Really Know ... HIM!?! When Will You Start!?! + PRAYER: I Am Cooperating With You, Lord!

The Study Of Science Digs Deep!
The Study Of Speculation Spreads Wide!
The Study Of Philosophy Flies High!
Should Not Man's Study Of His Creator
His Father
His Savior
His Redeemer
His One True Friend
His Teacher
His Protector
His Provider
His Sustainer
His Judge
His Advocate
His Priest
His King
His God Holy
The Eternal God Over All
Be Deep, High, Wide
Intense, Constant
Energetic
All-Compassing
Unending!?!

Should We Not Be Intensely Interested
In Knowing The Omnipresent One
Who Is The Lover Of Our Souls!?!

Should We Not Be Intensely Focused
Upon Knowing The Omniscient One
Who Provides Salvation To Us
Who Inherited Adam's Curse!?!

Should We Not Be Enamouredly Impressed
With The Eternal One
Who Is Touched In His Heart
By The Feeling Of Our Infirmities!?!

Should We Not Love With Hope
Trust By Faith
Worship With Fervor
Pray With Zeal
Wait Upon With Humility
Work For With Endurance
And
Follow To Eternity With Passion
The Eternal One Who Is Omnipotent
Who Proved His Faithfulness 
And 
Enduring Love For Us
That Dark Day On Mount Calvary!?!

I Don't Know About You
But
I Think It Is More Than About Time That
I Get To Know Him Intensely Intimately
He Who Is My Creator God
My Savior Lord
My Redeemer King
My Judge
My Master
My Shepherd
My Captain Who Protects The Vanguard
My Landlord Who Charges No Rent
My Rock
My Peace
My Rest
The Only One By Whose Blessing
I Can Pass The Test Against Damned Satan
- The Wannabe God -
The Known Wily Wicked Wasting Fraud!

Almighty God Is Love!
Should Not I Immerse Myself In Love!?!

Almighty God Is Truth!
Should Not I Wrap Up Myself In Holy Truth
So That I
- Consecrated To The Lord Jesus Christ -
Will Against The Lies Of The Devil
Unmovable Stand!?!

Almighty God Is Living Light!
Should Not I Walk In That Perfect Light
That Kills Darkness
So That I May With Finality
Honestly, Truly, Clearly
With Enlivened Eyes ... See!?!

Almighty God Is Life
And
Life ... Everlasting!
I Live Because Of Him!
I Choose To Live With Him!
By His Grace, I Will Die In Him!

I Desire To Rise Up
- Possessing Everlasting Life -
To Live With My Lord In The Land Of No Time!

Should I Not Seek To Know My Forever Friend
My Neighbor
My Host
Whose Personal Knowledge Of Me
Is Beyond Molecular-Level Close!?!

Should Not I Intimately Know Him
Who Calls Me Bride
Him From Whom I Cannot Even Ever Hope To Hide!?!

Should Not I Hold On To Him
Who, Alone, Has Stemmed Sin's Tide
Him At Whose Side ... For Eternity
I Desire To Abide!?!

And ...

Who Can Forget That With Him
I Shall To Eternity Ride
And
With Wings Of Eagle
I Shall Through The Universe Fly!?!

He Knows Me!
I Desire To Know Him
Even As I Am Known
Without The Darkening Veil Between
Without My Seeing Through A Glass Darkly!

I Desire Spiritual Ears
To Hear His Every Word Known True! 

I Desire Clean Eyes To See Truth
So That I May Discern The Lies Of The Devil!

I Desire His Heart For Mine!
I Desire That Heart Of Love That
For My Known And Own Sin
Did Sacrificially Atone!

I Need To Know Him Personally
So That, In Deed And In Fact
He May Have His Way With Me
So That I, From Him
Will Never, Ever, Turn Back!

Truth Be Told ...

I Have A Plan Of Attack!
I Shall Start With A Prayer:

PRAYER:

God Of Mercy!
Lord Of Love!
You Who Are Seated On The Great Throne
In Highest Heaven Above,
I Love You!
I Need You!
I Worship You!
I Honor Your Day And Name!
Please Help Me, I Beseech You
Not To Draw Away From You
Because Of The Storm Of Wind
The Wind Of Strife
Or
The Strife Of This Life!


Help Me, Dear Lord
To Walk As One Circumspect
Humble
Holy
Seeking Only Your Glory!


Please Help Me To Remain Faithful
Honest
Kind
Wise
True
Acknowledging To All And Sundry
That You Are My God Glorious
Holy, Just, Kind And True
Faithful, Blessing
Merciful, Gracious
Giving And Forgiving
Still Calling The Children Of The Kingdom
To Come Unto You!


Father,
Help Me To Endure That Which
Cannot Be Cured! 
Help Me Not To Charge You Wrongfully
For Things That Satan Does To The Faithful
To Encourage Us
To Curse You So That, Unsaved
We May In Sin, Die!


Father, 
I Have Tasted
And
I Know That The Lord Is Always Good! 
Please Help To Eat The Flesh
And
Drink The Wine
That Is Food Indeed
And
Drink Indeed
Filling And Satisfying
And
Reliable
Because It Is From
The Holy Hand Supplied!


Father, 
Please Keep Me From Fables! 
Keep Me Reasoning With You
And
Living With Facts
Not Relying On Lying Feelings!


Keep My Heart Fixed
My Eyes Focused
My Ears Tuned
My Tongue Clean
My Hands Kind
My Feet For Delivery Of
The Words Of Truth And Life Shod
And
My Back Turned Away From The World
And
My Face To Your Coming Kingdom 
As I Tell The World The Good News Story
Unfearful
Unmindful
Uncaring
Of The Fiery Darts
The Tar Balls Of Opposition
And
The Roaring Of That Devil-Lion
Who Is Walking About
Seeking, Ever Seeking
Who He May Devour!


I Bow My Head
My Heart
My Knee
And
I Am Cooperating With You, Lord!
Please Protect And Provide For Me! 

Help Me Not To Buckle
Under Strain, Opposition
Need Or Delay
And
Bless Me With All Blessing
To Arrive, Commended
Into Your Holy Assembly
On The Great And Final Day!


I Thank You For Hearing
And
Answering My Prayer
Given With Unfeigned Lips
From A Trusting And Believing
Faithful
Watching, Working, Waiting Soul
For Whom Heaven
With Christ Jesus
- In Whose Name I Pray -
Is My Soul's Sole Goal!

Let The Holy Spirit Fall And Abide
And
The Holy Angels Attend! 
AMEN.

PERSONAL CHOICE: Paradise Or Perdition?!

By Beholding Had Big Beautiful Eyes
AND
She Fixed Her Mind
On Iam Changed
Who Lived By The Law Of The Human Mind
AND
Sure Enough
Soon Enough
He Was A Goner!
It Was Enough!

By Beholding Is Modern
Was Ancient
AND
Being Ever Current
Has The New Name
- By Marriage, Of Course
Because A Good Live-With
Is Not A "The Done Thing!" 
For A True Beholding Child -
By Beholding-Changed!

By Beholding Loves Ties That Bind!

Things Were Good
Good Good
Even Great ... Until
Bad
Bad Bad
Base
Started Into And Stayed In Town!

Suddenly ...

Truth Purity And Holiness
Were Anathema!
Maranatha Was Changed Into Mas
AND
The Gold And Silver Smiths
Were Soon Rolling In Dough
Dollars Yen Euro Sterling
AND
The Tasteless gods Of WhatIFeel
Became
The Gotta-Have-It Hot Commodity!

By Beholding-Changed
Was In The Flowing Tide
AND
Went Along To Get Along
To Belong!

Pssst! Protruding Nails Get Hammered!

Soon ...

Faith Faltered
AND
Clear Gaze Was Always Cast Down!

One Day ...

The New Man
Moved Into Bessie Blessed's Old House
AND
In Short Order
He Was De Talk O' De Town!
Some People Sarcastically Call Him 
King James!

You Should Hear Him Preach ...

 ... But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
And Furthermore, All
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
By Beholding ... We're Changed!
By Beholding ... Iam Changed!

Whaaat?!
He's Calling Our Names!
How Does He Know Our Names?!

Who Cares How?!
I Want To Know Why!

Hey, Mister!

Greetings, Friends, And Not Yet Friends!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!
Why Do You Know Our Names?!

Different Town
Same Names
Same Questions
A Fact Of Life!

I Am A Messenger!
A Servant Of God!
I Have Precious Information From
The Love Letter Of The Eternal God!

I Deliver The Living Word
In Season And Out
I Speak Truth With Beauty
And I Don't Leave Anything Out!

The Words Of The Lord
Are Pure Words
Tried In The Fire Seven Times
And All Who Choose To Accept
Will Not In Fire 
Be Left Behind!

What Fire Are Speaking Of
And What Is This Left Behind?
!

All Who Look Up Unto Jesus Christ
Casting Away Their Idols
AND
Setting Aside Vain Imaginings
Will Rise Up
In The Appointed Hour
To The City Of God
Ever To Abide!

Damnation's Fire
Is Prepared Of God
For Satan And His Angels
And Those Of The Willful Sinners' Cohort
Who Chose
- Despising Truth And Salvation Free -
Before The Idol
To Avidly Bend The Knee!

God Is Not Mocked!
Truth Is Not Dead!
Idols Are Useless
AND
For Our Salvation
Jesus Christ Arose From The Dead!

Let Us Be Children Of The Day!
Children Of The Light!
Let Us Not Be Drunkards
Fools And Ones Wicked
Prowling
Ravening
Used By Satan
As Disposable Tools!

Mercy Is Free!
Grace Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Full
AND
Pure Is What We Need To Be!

Perdition Or Paradise?
A Choice Must Be Made!
Just Know That Almighty God Is Eternal
AND
Idols Are By The Hand Of Man Made
So Choose Carefully The God You're Serving
For Soon
That Decision Will Be Permanent
AND
Wishing Will Not Cause It To Be Unmade!

The King IS Coming!
Be Ye Washed ... And Ready! 

Oh, Dear! Oh, Dear!
Idols Are A Snare!

We Must Change
And With Alacrity
Or
Damnation Is Ours, I Fear!

I Think That We Forgot To Remember
That Our Jesus
For Us Does Care
And
No Matter The Opposition
We Must Of Heaven
Seek The Offered Share!

Yes! Yes!
It Is Time To Turn Around!
Let's Seek The Eternal In Prayer!

Our Father, ...!

Christians Shall See POLS!?!

You Who Faithfully Carry The Gospel Of Christ
Will Be Afflicted By POLS!

Pols?! What Is Pols?!
And Whatever It Is
Is There A Vaccine Against It!?

Isn't Pols Short For Politicians?!

Yes .. But Not In This Case!

POLS Is:

  • Peril
  • Opposition
  • Loss
  • Suffering

Jesus Christ Died!
The Disciples All Experienced It
AND
Whoever Takes Up The Cause Of Christ
To Carry Forth The Gospel
Shall
- By The Hand Of Satanic Device -
Feel The Sting Of Punishing Peril
Rabid Opposition
Searing Loss
AND
Harsh Suffering!
Please Know Of A Surety
That It Is Not The Thing Nice!


The Lord Helps Those
Who Help Themselves
To A Drink Of His Mercy
Sprinkled With Grace
Lifted
By The Hand Of Faith
Yielded
To Be Molded By
The Only One

Who Is Outside
Of
Time And Space!

Walk By Faith!
Never Walk By Sight!
Trust The Word Of The Lord

For
It Will Your Heart
AND
Your Life
Exceedingly Delight!

Earthly Pleasure Is Passing!
God's Paradise Is The Place True
AND
Victory Over Sin
Is The Only Pass
That Will See You
The Pearl Gates
Getting Through!

Getting Through 
Peril
Opposition
Loss
Suffering
For The Name
AND
The Word Of The Lord
With Enduring Faith
AND
Unyielding Obedience 

AND
Absolute Trust
Gives Paradise
To The Remnant

That Faithful Few!
I Am Striving For The Win!
Are You?!

Won't You?!


Seek
Eternal Life
Over 
Temporal Property!

Father, Forgive Me!


Heavenly Father,
I come to You  today with a contrite heart and beseech Your forgiveness.
I ask you, Lord, to forgive me for all the times I did not trust You to make 
a way for me; for all the times I ignored Your wise counsel not to make 
a move and paid a heavy price for disobedience; for all those times that 
I have been willful, and hard-headed and chose to walk in my own wisdom; 
for all those times I chose to ignore  conscience and knowingly did what 
I knew to be  wrong in Your sight. Oh, Father, forgive me! Father, I beseech
You to forgive me for my often lack of faith in You, my Almighty God.
I beseech You, Father, to forgive me for the many times I have given
You my burdens only to take them back and made matters worse.
Father, I am sorry for being an often wayward child, and I ask You to help
me to stay on the straight and narrow path, and to always 
do right even in the face of rabid opposition.  Father, I love You, and I ask
these mercies in the name of Jesus Christ, the Righteous, and I thank You for
hearing and answering prayer. AMEN.
