Faith, Like Love, Always Works!







We Lie Like Cheap Rugs 
When We Say That We Find No Use For Faith In Our Lives 
But
Dare To Bellow: 

"I Am A Christian!"

Beloved, 

A Committed Christian 
Is 
An Active, Working, Watching, Waiting
Light And Salt
Enduringly Faithful, Faith-Filled Member Of 
"The Household Of Faith!" 

Without Faith
It Is Impossible To Please Almighty God! 

Unfailing Faith 
Is 
Jesus Christ's Daily Gift To Each Of Us 
So, The Question Must Be Asked: 

"How Do We Expect
To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith 
If We See No Use For Jesus' Faith
In Our Daily Lives!?!" 

If Faith Without Works Is Dead
What Would You Call Working 
And 
Living For Jesus Christ 
Without Having The Faith Of 
And 
Faith In Jesus!?! 

Obviously, Without Having A Use For Faith 
In Our Daily Practice Of Christ's Christianity
We Are, Open-Eyes-Closed, Dripping Blood
Foolishly Choosing To Go Into A No-Holds-Barred
Winner-Take-All Battle Against Satan 
And 
The Legion Of Doom 
Who Have Nothing To Lose! 

Note To File ...

There Will Be No Fools In God's Kingdom! 
There Will Be No Faithful Saints Of God And Christ In Hell! 

Encourage Yourself ...

Accept, Appreciate, Open 
And 
Use Today's Gift Of Faith 
And 
Be Blessed By All That 
Utilized-Faith Can Accomplish In Your Life Today! 
Faith, Like Love, Always Works! 


Peace With Jesus Christ
... Almighty God Made Flesh ...
Requires
The Foundation Called Faith!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Plant Good Seed + PRAYER: I Shall Emerge As Gold!





Just Like Good Seeds
Bad Seeds Grow
And 
What Grows
Grows Up To Be Harvested For The Table 
To Bless Body And Soul 
Or 
Grows To Be Cut Down 
And 
Cast In The Furnace
Cast On The Pyre, The Rubbish Heap 
Or Discard Pile As Fuel 
Because 
It Serves No Otherwise Profitable Purpose! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Deceive Ourselves:
We Cannot Deceive The Living God!

We Who Follow The Lord Christ 
Must Sow Good Seeds Of Kindness
Love, Sharing, Caring And Helping
Believing The Word
Trusting The Lord
Living In Light And Ever Doing Right
Always Pleasing Almighty God 
And 
Blessing Ourselves As A Result! 

Please Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 
To Have His Way With Us
Feeding Our Souls 
And 
Maturing A Clear Conscience 
Because 
To Do Otherwise ... To Resist The Sweet Of Truth Spirit
Is 
To Mark Us As Among The Unwise Who Shall Reap 
Their Preferred Harvest Of Destruction 
In The Lake Of Fire! 

Be Wise
And 
Choose To Have A Heart Tended By The Holy Spirit! 

Plant Good Seed!
Enjoy The Water Of The Word!
Reach For The Sun Of Righteousness
And 
Look Forward With Joy 
To The Harvest Celebration
The Coming Of Lord Christ
Our Loving, Kind, Great And Glorious King 
Who Cares And Utterly Saves! 


PRAYER:

Lord,
By Your Grace
I Will Covet No Man's Silver Or Gold Or Raiment
And I Will Daily Choose To Be Contented
With Such Things As You Provide For Me!
Most People Have Nothing
But I Have Much To Be Thankful For!
I Give You Praise And Say: "Thank You!"

Father, You Lead Me To Green Pastures
And I Am Substantially Fed!
You Teach Me The Ways Of Righteousness 
And I, Contented, Rest Easy In My Bed!

You Chastise Me Because I Am Not A Bastard
But Am Your Child Greatly Beloved!
By Your Will And Under Your Supervision
I Know I Will Pass Through The Crucible Of Affliction
Leading To Character Perfection
And At The Moment Of Your Choosing
I Shall Emerge As Gold
Revived And Reformed
Suitable To Dwell Forever
In The Presence Of Your Holy Fire!

You Equip Me To Serve You
In The Harvest Field Ripening
And I Enjoy The Pleasant Work!
I Thank You For The Spirit That
Makes Me The Worker Willing!

Father, 
I Trust You!
I Love You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
I Look Forward To The Great Day Of Small Things
And While I Am Patiently Waiting
In The Here And The Now
I Humbly Beg You, Please
For The Holy Spirit's Infilling!

By You, Dear Lord
I Live And Breathe And Have My Being 
And I Desire To Arrive Safely At The Place
On The Appointed Day Prophesied 
When Your Dear Sweet Face 
In Perfect Peace
I Shall Surely Be Seeing!

Father, 
Please Keep Me Faithful
Please Keep Me Spiritually And Physically Fed
And Bless Me Out Of Your Great Supply Of
Mercy, Grace, Goodness And Righteousness
As I Daily All My Known Sin Repent And Confess!

Remember The Holy People
The Praying People
The Waiting People
And Bless Us All To Do Your Bidding
Without Murmur Or Complaint!

Thank You For The Daily Victories Over Sin And Self
And Bless Us, Lord, Bless Us
So That In The Final Analysis
It Is Noted In Our Record That
To You, We Are Indeed The Child Called
Spiritual Success!

Please Provide For Us All According To Our Need
And Grant Us These Few Petitions
For We Ask All In The Wonderful Name Of
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Soon-Returning Kind King!
AMEN!!!

LIVING BY FAITH: Acquiring The Heavenly Inheritance

When We Children And Thought Like Children
To Brand Ourselves
We Drew Tattoos With Ink On Our Hands
But
Now That We Are People Of The Book
We Desire The Brand That
Clearly Marks Us As Children Of God 
Purchased By The Innocent Blood Of
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Son Of God
The Pascal Lamb
The Son Of Man!
We're Living By Faith 
As Clearly States That Very Book: 


Galatians+3_24-27,+KJV | For You





However ...

It Is Quite The Trendy Thing 
To Hear The Unbelieving World
His Brother, Sister, Mother, Father And Best Friend 
Proudly Call Themselves The Children Of God: 
They Need To Get The Real Jesus! 

Living In Unbelief
Clearly States That One
Does Not Cooperate
With Jesus Christ!

We Also Hear "Christians" 
Who Do Not Exercise Faith
And 
Who Publicly Voice Their Doubt About Jesus Christ 
Being The Only Begotten Son Of Almighty God 
Call Themselves Children Of God: 
They Need To Rethink Their Family Connection! 

Hear The Right ...

It Is Impossible To Please God Without Faith! 
It Is Impossible To Have Faith Without Jesus! 
It Is Impossible To Be A Child Of God 
And
Get Home To The Father Without Jesus 
And
His Faith Working In Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing That We Can Do
That We Can Do Without Jesus! 
We Need Jesus To Get Faith To Trust Jesus 
And 
To Walk In Enduring Obedience 
To The Will Of Almighty God 
To Get Into A Mansion 
Prepared For Each Child Of God 
In The Family House Of The Living God Holy 
Who Knows The Thoughts 
And 
Intents Of Our Hearts! 

Living By Faith May Not Be Easy
But
It Is Truly A Necessity If We Will Be Saved!

Talk Is Cheap!
Exercising Faith Requires Discipline
And
With Constant Utilization
Trusting The Word That Cannot Fail
And
Using Our Daily Gift Of Faith For The Present Day
Relying Upon Our Lord Christ Becomes Second Nature!
We Willfully Acquire The Necessary Muscle-Memory
And
Our Faith In Our God Becomes Strong!

Trusting In The Lord Christ
When You Can't See His Hand
Is
Exercising Your Faith In Him
Which He, Himself, Gave To You!

Dare To Answer The Hard Question:

Are You Living By Faith
Forswearing Lying Eyesight
And
Really Walking As A True Child Of God? 


Remember,

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Perfect Peace
And
Where He Is, Is Home
So If You Don't Want To Lose Your Eternal Inheritance
Please See To It That 
You Use Your Daily Gift Of Faith ... Always
And
In All Ways!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Sown Seed: Soil ... Soiled! + PRAYER: Help Us, Father, To Look Up!

In The Word Of God Is Life
But
It Is The Soil In Which It Is Received
That Determines
If
The Word
Is
Growing Life-Giving Seed
That Will Yield For The Lord Christ
The Holy Harvest!

How Do You Mean "If"
The Word Is Growing Life-Giving Seed!?
The Word Is God!

If
The Word Contains Life
And
The Word Is Seed
Then 
Nothing Is Wrong With The Seed Of The Word!

It Is 
Where 
It Falls From The Sower Of Good Seed's Hand!
It Is Not The Seed
But
The Soil
That Determines The Harvest Yield
Of The Son Of Man!

Cherished Sin
Self-Righteousness
Hollow Formalism
Attachment To Mammon
And
The Refusal To Suffer Loss Or Lack
Are Some Of The Soils
Found In The Hearts Of Men
And
Barren Land, My Brother
Will Never Yield A Crop!
Do You Ken!

Ken!?!

Understand.

Oh.

Rich Men
Poor Men
Beggar-Men Thieves
Religionists
Antagonists
Pacifists
Priests
High Born
Low Life
Bond Man
Free
All Have A Need That Can Only Be Met
By Obedient Self-Surrender
To Him Who Died
For Me And Thee!

The Rich Young Ruler Of 
Christ-Interview Fame
Longed For The Savior
But
His Fortune Power Authority
Had Him Tied Up In Chains
- Glittery Shining Tight Metal Chain -
So That
For All Of His Profession Of 
Holy God-Following Righteousness
He Was A Vain Idol-Worshipper
And That Even To A Blind Man
Was Right Plain!

Facing The Lord Christ
And
Bowing To Your Money
Hopeful Of Carnal Elevation
Is 
A State That Trips Up Many
Because
Almighty God Doesn't Do The Threesome Thing
Touted By The Pharisaic Clan
And
This, My Dear Brother
Is 
What Will Have Many Wailing
Outside The Gate To Life
Kicking On Lost-Opportunity
Blackened-Hope Burning Sand!

We Need To Trust The Living God
And
Go Where He Sends!
We Need To Lift Up The Fallen
And
By So Doing
We Will To The Eternal God Lend!

Repayment Is Assured!
And
Eternity's The Time!
The Coin Is The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness
And
The Payer's Hand
Is
The Hand Of The Lord God Holy 
Faithful True Kind Divine!

Alright, Then!
Let's Study!

Your Bible Or Mine!

Let's Not Be Sloths!
We Shall Mark Both
For Personal Study
Assures
True And Steady Christian Growth!

Indeed!
Anything That Denies Us Growth In Grace
We Must Loathe!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Come You
With Hearts Filled With Hope
And
Trust
And
We Ask You
To Help Us To Grow Up
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Nothing Wavering
Nothing Holding Us Back
To Cause Us The Holy Name To Disgrace!


Help Us To Look Up

To Walk Forward
And
Not To Stagnate
So That In The Day Of Judgment
We Won't Suffer Satan
And
Willful Sinners'
Prescribed And Just Fate!


Please Bless Us To Be Faithful

Enduring And True
And
To Lift High The Cross
Of
The Lord Jesus Christ
Because
It Is Our Desire
To Have Others Know The Word
The Word Who Is God
Who Dwelt Amongst
And
Who Showed Us How To Live Lives
That Are Pleasing In Your Holy Sight!

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Us
And
Direct Our Focus
So That Nothing That We Do
May Offend Thee!


We Love You, Lord 

And
We Ask These Few Mercies
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
Please Come Soon! 
AMEN.

Flattering God!?!




I can't Flatter God with: "I Love YOU!"
I can't Coerce God with a Screaming Fit!
I can't Disappoint God with My Human Failures
But I will Anger God with Malicious Presumptuous Sin!

I can't Fool God with a Sham Confession!
I can't Hoodwink God with Repentance Fake!
I will Tempt God by Walking Outside of His Will
And by Playing with Sin Kitty and Calling 
"Save Me, I Fell Over Playing Devil Dodge Ball by Fire Lake!"

I Please God with Genuine Repentance!
I Celebrate God by Walking in Jesus' Faith!
I Bless God by Accepting Jesus' Blood Sacrifice!
I Honor God by Praying and Singing "His Name Be Ever Praised!"

Glory!
Glory!
Hallelujah!
Glory!
Hallelujah!
Sing to Him Praise!
Stand Tall!
Walk Humble!
Head for The City - Victory IS Assured
Jesus Christ will Reign!
Get on board The Train
Satan, Death, Hell and Unrepentant Sinners 
Will be Utterly Destroyed!
