Real Help Comes From Jesus Christ ... Our Present Help!




Psalm 40:17 KJV (With images) | Psalm 40



... And If You Don't Recognize Your Need
And
Acknowledge It For What Is Is
You Will Never Acknowledge That
It Is Upon The Lord Christ That You Must Feed!

Understand This ...

The Quickest Way To Get Rid Of A Known Problem 
Is 
To Know Its Source! 
The Quickest Way To Get Help Solving A Problem 
Is 
To Know Who Can Provide The Needed Help
And
The Quickest Way To Get The Problem Fixed 
Is 
To Ask For The Needed Help! 

True, True!

I Learned That Lesson The Hard Way!

I'm Still Learning That Lesson!

Children,

We Have Problems 
And 
The One Source For Real Help
- Jesus Christ The Righteous -
Who Is Available And Is Able To Help Us
Thinks On Us To Deliver Us
And 
Is Awaiting Our Humble Cry To Him For Assistance! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Is Here To Help ... He Knows Our Frame
But 
We Will Never Receive The Help We Need 
If 
We Don't Trust Him And His Love Enough 
To Ask For His Help To Get Our Relief! 

Draw Near To Almighty God
And He Will Draw Near To You!

Learn A Lesson From The Mundane ...

We Have Light Switches 
Leading Off An Energy Source 
Connected To Light Bulbs In Our Homes 
To Give Us Illumination! 

The Light Bill Is Paid! 

The Light Bulbs Work 
And 
The Light Switch Is Connected 
But 
If We Don't Flick The Switch
We Will Never Have Bright Light 
To Rebuke The Deep Darkness! 

Jesus Is The Energy Source! 
Unlit Light Bulbs Are Our Problems! 
Prayer Is The Light  Switch! 
Our Faith Flicks The Switch 
And 
We Are Lit Up 
And 
Helped 
And 
Delivered: We Are Blessed! 

Please Ask For Your Help!
For That Matter
Let Us All Go Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
Where We Shall Find Help In Our Time Of Need!

He Who Asks, Receives!

A Word For The Wise ...

The Lord Is Always On Time: 
Set Your Clock To His Time 
And 
Be Lit Up With Peace!

Present Help: Late Praise!?!






Our Need For Living Strength 
And 
Shielding From Harm 
Is 
Always A Present Need! 

The Help We Receive From Almighty God 
Is 
Always Present And Available
And 
Our Praise And Thanks Should Always Be Current
And 
Willingly Given!

Our Faith Comes By Our Hearing
And
Heeding The Living Word
And
We Need The Living Word
If
We Are Going To Believe!

Let Us Be Humble And Grateful
And 
Let Us Ever Remember That 
We Are Called To Appear Boldly  Before
And 
Are Welcomed At The Throne Of Grace
And 
Let Us Give Our God, The True And Living God, His Due! 
Keep Your Heart With Christ In Heaven's Most Holy Place!  

Jesus Christ Is Worthy To Be Praised 
For He Is Faithful To His Promises
And 
In His Love Toward Us
So Let Us Be Joyful In The Lord
And
Don't Ever Forget That Willing Obedience 
Is 
Praise And Worship!
Jesus Christ Desires To Hear From Me And You!

Speak Truth In Love To ... A Fallen Man!

I Saw Grace Walking
In Front Of Judgment!
I Witnessed Truth In Front Of Grace
AND
The Master's Call
Offering Mercy
AND
Pardon
Was In Front Of Them All!

They Were Purposefully Going After
A Fallen Man
Who Held Known Sin
By His Right Hand!

I Looked Closer
AND
There, Also
I Beheld Them:

Blessing
Peace
Rest
AND
Comfort For The Soul
AND
You Will Not Be Pleased To Know That
Usurper
Disdain
Disobedience
Selfishness
Waywardness
Greed
Lust
Envy
Gainsay
Vainglory
Wilfulness
False Oath
Lie
AND
Debase
Were Vigorously Giving Chase!

Those Proud Adherents Of
Damned Devil
Were Energetically Pushing Nature
Nurture
Pleasure Of Sense
Feelings
Fashion
AND
Living Disgrace
AND
They Have Been Known To Vigorously
Perniciously
Get Up In Truth's Dear Face!

What A Shame!

Oh, My!
Look!

Truth Just Fell Down In The Street!

We've Got To Help Him!
He Must Get Through To A Fallen Man!
He Must Not Suffer Defeat
Even Though The Destroyer
Is Calling Good, Evil
Light, Darkness
Sweet, Bitter
AND
Demanding That Truth From
The Battle For Eternal Life
Go Into A Retreat!

How Are You Standing?!

I've Got:
Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart!

I've Got:
Trust Ye In The Lord For Ever!

I've Got:
I Delight To Do Thy Will!

Ready, Men?!

Readyyyyy!!

Send The Word To A Fallen Man!
Speak Peeeeace!!

  • The Lord Is A Shield!
  • Hope Thou In God!
  • Faith Is The Victory That Overcomes The World! 
  • Wait On The Lord!
  • The Word Of The Lord Is A Strong Tower!
  • God Is Our Refuge And Strength: A Very Present Help In Trouble!
  • Seek Ye The Lord While He May Be Found!
  • The Lord Is Our Light And Our Salvation!
  • Rejoice In The Lord Always!
  • Fear God And Keep His Commandments! 
  • The Blessing Of The Lord It Maketh Rich And He Addeth No Sorrow With It!
  • Jesus Saves!
  • Blessed Is The Man That Maketh The Lord His Trust!
  • Oh, Taste And See That The Lord Is Good!

Hold On! HOLD ON!
Look!

A Direct Hit!

A Fallen Man Is Standing Up!

Bless The Lord! 

Look At Him Picking Up Truth!

Brethren,
We Have Another Victory ...!

...In Jesus' Name!

Good Job, Men! Good Job! 

Let Us Now Bless The Lord
With Fruit Of Our Lips:

God Is So Good! 
Thank You, Lord, For Faith
For Grace 
For Truth
For Light
And
Healing Son Light
And
Peace
Rest
Blessing
And
For Loving Favor!

Thank You, Lord
For Victory Over Sin
And
For Our Daily Joy In Jesus Christ
Our Only And Dear Savior!

Please Remember
Our Brother, A Fallen Man
Lovingly Raised Up!
Bless Him To Walk
In The Newness Of Life!
Protect Him, Lord
And
Gently Lead Him Safely Home! 

We Give You, Lord
All Our Praise
And Our Prayers!
And
We Humbly Beseech You
Please Let It Be So
Until
The End Of Our Days!
Let The Holy Spirit Lead Us
Into All Truth
For We Ask All These Mercies 
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
We Do Love You, Lord!
AMEN.


Brethren!
Heaven Awaits The Faithful
So
Be Ye Faithful Unto Death!

Hallelujah! 
Amen!

COLLEGE OF THE ROAD: Carnal Man vs. Earnest Examination O. Self


Earnest Examination O. Self
Was Expelled From Carnal Man's Class!

It Happened This Way ...

Carnal Man Is A Tenured Professor At

This IS The Way
College Of The Road
- Growing Up Campus -


On The First Full Day Of Classes
By Way Of Challenge
AND
To Pay Off A Debt To No-Ah DeFlood
Professor Man Had Given A Semester-Long Assignment 
To Read King James' Psalms
Take A Position
AND
Defend It ... To The Death!

Long Story Short ...

He Had Effectively
AND
With Seeming Efficiency
Opened
The Can Of Warfare!

This is A Lil' Background ...

Earnest Examination O. Self
Had Previously Lovingly Enjoyed
The Pleasures Of Sin
BUT
The Season Of Sinful Enjoyment
Did Not Last
OR
At Least It Did
UNTIL
His Lot
Upon The Deliverer
He Had Cast!

Being A Willing And Disciplined Student
He Had Started At The Beginning Of The Psalms
AND
Had Quickly Found ... Wisdom:


BLESSED Is The Man That Delights
In The Law! 
Whatsoever He Doeth Shall Prosper! 
Thou Art My Son! 
Be Wise Now!
Salvation Belongeth Unto The Lord!
Stand In Awe And Sin Not!


Transfixed By Truth
He Said In His Heart:

Lead Me, Lord, In Thy Righteousness!
Have Mercy On Me For I Am Weak!



But, Then, He Considered The Statement ...

God Is Angry With The Wicked Every Day!

... And Thought It Reasonable
To Pose A Direct Question To Almighty God:

What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful Of Him?!

With His Soul Satisfied With Truth's Plain Response
He Shouted:

I Will Praise Thee, O Lord, With My Whole Heart!

When He Went To Bed That Night
The Song In His Heart Was:

The Lord Is King For Ever And Ever!

In The Middle Of His First Class The Next Morning
He Was Given No Other Choice But To Ask Carnal Man:

If The Foundations Be Destroyed
What Can The Righteous Do?!


Not Long Thereafter
Things Got Acid Real Fast
AND
Carnal Man Roared At Him
Saying:

Our Lips Are Our Own!
Who Is Lord Over Us?!

After Taking A Thorough Beating At School That Day
AND
Becoming Very Discouraged
He Went To Bed Praying That Night:

Consider And Hear Me, O LORD My God:
Lighten Mine Eyes
Lest I Sleep The Sleep Of Death!

Before He Closed His Eyes
To Rest In Sleep
He Wrote On His Notepad:

The Fool Hath Said In His Heart
There Is No God!!!!!


He Awakened The Next Morning
Totally Refreshed
AND
Wrote A Whole Chapter About




He Wrote For Its Conclusion:

I Will Bless The Lord
Who Hath Given Me Counsel! 
Hold Up My Goings In Thy Paths
That My Footsteps Slip Not! 
Hide Me Under The Shadow Of Thy Wings!



The Semester Was All Of Three Weeks
Three Days
Three Hours And Fifty-Four Minutes Old
When Hellen Damnation Showed Up ... UNANNOUNCED!

Before Long
It Became Very Apparent
To All Persons Present That
A Certain Somebody Was Going To Have Their Guts
Turned To Garters
All Because Of ...!

Well ... 

Earnest Had Brought The Lord To Class
- For Real -
AND
When He Was Forcefully Challenged
- In His Newly Acquired Faith -
He Had Boldly Stated:


I Will Call Upon The LORD
Who Is Worthy To Be Praised:
So Shall I Be Saved From Mine Enemies!



Just So You Know ...

In That Very Instant
De Big Dog Up And Dead!

Hellen Damnation Totally Lost Her Tiny Mind
AND
Professor Carnal Man Got On Like A Pop Kite
In A Fierce Easter-Holiday Wind
AND
Bedlam And Ruckus
Elegantly Came Out Of Darkman Closet!

When The Commotion Was Finally
Administratively
Concluded
Earnest Examination O. Self
Was Summarily Expelled From Carnal Man's Class
For. Cause!

If You Had Seen His Departure
You Would Have Been Mommy-Daddy-Proud ...

He Left With His Head Raised
His Shoulders Squared
His Back Ramrod Straight
His Faith Strong
His Hope For Heaven High
His Comforter In His Heart
His Very Best Friend Beside Him
His Angel Watching Over Him
AND
Confident
That His God
His Personal Savior
His King
His Redeemer
AND
His Present Help
The God Of Creation
IS
Esconced On Heaven's Glorious Throne!

These Were His Final Words
Before The Witnesses:

The LORD Is My Rock
And My Fortress
And My Deliverer; 
My God
My Strength
In Whom I Will Trust;
My Buckler
And The Horn Of My Salvation
And My High Tower!
I Shall Not Be Moved!



His Soon-To-Be-Former Classmates
Stood Up
AND
Cheered
BUT
Carnal Man
- Forgetting Where He Was -
Vividly Swore!

From That Day Forward
Earnest Examination O. Self
Earnestly Chose To Unashamedly Trust God
AND
Went After Sin No More!

For The Record ...

The Master
- Our Coming King -
Is Well Pleased!
His Soul Is Satisfied
AND
There Is Rejoicing Up In Heaven
For The Lost One Returned To The Safe Fold!

As For Carnal Man
AND
Hellen Damnation
It Was Revealed
- Publicly Revealed -
That They Were Involved
In An Extracurricular Activity
Or More Particularly
Intimately Involved
In An Affaire De Coeur!

When All The Dirty Linen Was
Thoroughly Aired
It Revealed Something Long Suspected
BUT
Never Vocally Identified:

Carnal Man
Carnal Professor Man
Is A Hit Man For The Goat Clan
AND
Specifically
The Goat-Herder Himself
God Wannabe!

When, Eventually
Earnest Examination O. Self Received The Polo
Declaring The News
He Replied:

Saved By Grace!
Saved By Grace! 
Thank God Almighty
I Was
I Am
Saved By Grace!


Earnest Examination O. Self
To This Very Day
Glorifies Almighty God
AND
Gives Jesus Christ
Total Praise!
