Consider Your Ways AND Your Days!







When We Were Children
The Elders Spoke Often About Malice Before Thought
About Being So Bent On Having One's Own Way That 
A Person Just Acted
Right Thinking Be Damned! 

Today
A Favored Expression 
Is 
Playing Dead 
To See What Kind Of Casket You're Going To Receive! 

Beloved, 

In The Old Testament Times
Swift Justice ... As A Sharp Curb On Lawlessness
Was Meted Out For Ought Aka Anything That 
Brought Almighty God's Name Into Disrepute! 

Today We See The Multitudes Using The Name Of The Lord 
Like It Is A Cheap Cloak Aka Cover For Bold Sin! 

Consider Your Ways ... 

Not One Of Us Has Control Over The Days Of 
Our Years As Allotted By God! 

Not One Of Us Is Guaranteed To Live Five Minutes From Now 
So The Question Must Be Asked: 
"Are You So Invested In Some Cherished Sin That 
You Are Willing To Have Your Probation Closed 
And Your Judgment Concluded 
And Your Record Marked 
UNHOLY: Still  And  FILTHY: Still 
Because In Satisfying The Raging Lust Of Your Flesh 
'You Have More Head Than Brain!?!'" 

Is Satisfying Your Flesh Worth More To You Than 
Having Your Soul Cleansed!?! 

Willful Sin 
Is 
Deadly 
So "Act In Haste And Repent At Leisure!" 
Should Daily Warn You To 
"Look Before You Leap!" 
And 
"Think Before You Sink And Stink!" 

We Need The Lord To Breathe And Belong 
But
He Does Not Need Us To Reign And Rule! 

Think!

The Devil And The Seat!?!

And Do You Know Why Satan, Our Adversary
Is Called A Serpent!?!

I Don't Think So!
Isn't He Just A Slimy Creature!?!

He's Not Slimy!
He's A Slithering Creature!

Satan Can Twist The Truth!
He Can Turn Away From Light!
He Can, Unaffected, Glide Over Goodness!
He Can Negotiate The Torturous Bends
From Doubt To Denial On Through To Unbelief
And
To Put It Bluntly
He Can Do What Our Holy God Can't:
He Can Straight Up Preach
Practice
And
Promulgate
Unholy Dastardly Deceit!

The Living God Holy
Always, Always, Always
Walks The Straight Way
- Directly -
With No Going Backward
No Going Sideways
Ever Going Forward
Unchanging!

He Is Who He Says He Is
And
Does What He Says He Will Do!

I've Got To Warn You ...

Do Not Make Excuses For Satan Or His Sin! 
There Is No Excuse!
His Undoing Was Lusting For Pride Of Place
And
Gross Enjoyment In The Beauty Of His Face
And
The Desire To Receive Undeserved Worship!

But, Why ...

Our Creator
- His Creator -
Left In Satan's Own Hands
The Personal Power Of Will And Choice
And
Satan's Lust For Preeminence
- A Place In Advance Of The Father's Own Son -
Saw Him Putting Between His Own Eyes
A Fully Loaded And Cocked Gun!

Lord, Help Me Now ...

Pride 
Is 
As Acid ... Corroding The Soul
And
Unless It Is Washed Off And Away
All Affected By It
Will Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay
Just As Is Satan
Who ... Before His Probation Ran Out
Rejected The High And Holy Helping Hand
Lovingly Extended To Him
By The World's Creator
The Holy Son Of God
Who Became The Incarnated Son Of Man!

Rights And Privileges ...

Check Writing Is A Privilege
Which Must Follow A Few Set Rules:

  • Take Out What You Put In Leaving That Behind To Pay Your Fees 
  • Don't Exceed Your Overdraft
  • Let No One Else Sign Your Checks 
  • Do Not Indulge In Check Kite Nor Check Bounce And 
  • Acknowledge That The Account May Be Any Time Closed Should You Refuse To Comply With Those Rules Which Cause The Money In And Out-Flows


Excuse Me!
Could You Please Explain
What Having A Checking Account 
Has To Do With Our Topic!?!

Everything!

How So!?!

Your Life 
Is 
Your Checking Account!
Your Overdraft Is Almighty God's Grace And Mercy!

Fees Are The Price You Pay For Sin! 

Bounced Checks And Check Kiting
Are Excuses And Putting Blame On Others
For Your Personal Sin!

Someone Else Signing Your Check
Is You Saying Satan "Made" You Sin!

And

Account Closure Is Death
The Date Of Which No One Knows!

The Rules Apply To All ...

All Of This Applied To Satan!
All Of This Applies To Me And You! 

The Bank 
Is 
The Bank Of Jesus!
The Ten Commandments Are The Rules!
The Commandments Cannot Be Changed
Because
The Writer Himself Will Not
And
We - Only - By Willing Cooperation With Him
Will Receive The Credit Card With The Limit Marked
$1 With Exponentially Infinite Unending Noughts!

Now That Is Overkill!
I Want A Card With That Balance!

It's Available To All Mankind
For A Little Bitty Fee
Called Faith Love Trust Obedience And Belief!

That's Terrific!

Now, Moving Onward ...

The Power Of Satan
Is
The Dominion Of Death!
He Knows That He Is Going To, Himself, Die
And
It Is His Studied Effort To Get As Many Of Us
- As Satanically Possible -
To Permanently Overdraw Our Checking Accounts
Not Having Anything In Our Savings Accounts
To Carry Us Over Any Humps:

No Saving Faith
No Saving Grace
No Salvation By Promise
No Bonds Of Redemption
No Savior
And
No Forever Friend 
From Whom To Borrow Gold Bullion!

People,
We Have A Problem!

Brethren, You Believers
We Know 
And
Have The Solution!

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Paid ... In Advance
The Costs
The Fees
The Overdrafts
Even The ... Our ... Initial Deposit!

Understand This ...

If You're Running With The Big Dogs
The Dragon
The Snake
Your Knowing Of Your Bank Deposit
Will Be Considered ... News: Fake!
But
If You Have Accepted The Good News
And
Have Chosen With The Lord Christ
To Be Lovingly, Faithfully, Intimate
Rest Assured
And
Be Totally Confident That
Satan Has Dropped Into Your Seat
The Thing Called Irrational Hate!

There Will Be Always For You
An Expense 
Such That Your Account 
Will Appear To Be Always Overdrawn!
Whether It Is By Dimes Or Dollars
The Result Is The Same:

Overdrawn! 
Overdrawn! 
Overdrawn!


But

Let That Not Be To You The Problem! 

No Matter What
Hie Thee Ever Always To Your Lord!
Do Not Look Back!
Do Not Look To The Side!
Do Not Be Drawn Aside Or Away!

Suck It Up ...

Pray And Petition
In The Name Of The Lovely Jesus
To The Heavenly Father
Your Need
And
Your Confidence In Christ's Merits
Judiciously
Faithfully
Hopefully
Confide!

Confide!?!

CONFIDE!!

Faith-Debtor's Prison ...

Put Yourself In Debt To The Deliverer!
Seal Yourself In With Your Savior!
Ride Boldly With The Redeemer!
Link Your Life With The Lord
And
Exchange Your Debt Of Sin With Satan
And
Give Up The Seat ...!

... The Seat ... Deceit!

Yup! 

Defrauded By The Fraud!

Easy So!?!

I'm Afraid So!
We Look For Satan To Run Rocket Science
Against Us
When His Tried And Tested Method
Is Mental Arithmetic!

When To Your Life You ... Add ... Jesus
It ... Subtracts ... Your Former World-Loving Peace
So Satan ... To Make You Pay
Maliciously ... Multiplies ... Your Sorrows
And
With Fiendish Pleasure ... Divides ... Your Friends And Families!

He Takes Away What You Love
So That You ... Sorrowing
Will Want To Take In
What He Loves!

Take My Hand, Precious Lord!

Take Your Burden To The Lord
And
Leave It There!

Lord, Lift Me Up!?!

Indubitably!

HAPPY SABBATH + Probation!?!







Every Man Is On Probation
Before The Holy God!
Every Man Is On Probation
And
He, Of His Own Will
Chooses Either
To Displease His Creator
The Eternal God 

Or
Please The God-Fraud!

Why Would Man Want To Displease
The Living All-Seeing
All-Knowing Ever-Present
Feeling All Things God?!
Where's The Profit In That Can Of Worms?!

Put Like That
It Sounds Really Silly Foolish Misguided
But
It All Comes Down To Will ... And Choice!

Free Will And Free Choice!

Freedom Is A Sharp And Double-Edged Sword!

The Word Of God Is Sharper!

The Problem Is That ...

Many Men Think Consider Believe That
Almighty God Is Chicken Because 

He Bears Long With Man
That He Loves Man Too Much
That He Must Save All Mankind
And
Can Be Persuaded Cajoled Into Non-Action
And
That God Is Like Man
Fickle!

I Won't Wish You "Good Luck" With That Lost Cause!

No Problem! I Don't Expect Any!

There Is No Get-Out Of Jail Free Card ...

Being On Heavenly Probation
Is 

Just Like Work Probation
Ex-Con Probation
Which Has Consequences
Only Difference Being Is That These Are 

Multiplied To Infinity
Aka Eternal Consequences
With The Heavenly Probation Officer
Having Life And Death Power!

I'd Say That That Truly Ups The Ante!

I'd Say That We'd Better Look To Our Own Soul's Salvation
And
Stop Playing Footsie With Sin And Satan
And
Unwisely Courting Damnation!


Hear, Hear!

Know This ...

To Them That Perish
The Word Of God Is Foolishness!
To Them That Believe
It Is The Power Of Salvation!

So How Does One Bridge That Divide?!

During The Sweet Hour Of Prayer
For The Moving Of The Holy Ghost!

You Pray And Share
And
Another Will Teach Or Preach
And
Almighty God
By His Holy Spirit
Will Give The Increase
As Sin From The Soul Does Leach!

You Know, This Has Me Thinking!
Failed Probation In The Economy Of Almighty God
Equals Fiery Indignation!

Indeed!
Remember Noah's Flood
The Tower Of Babel Dispersion
The Complaining Disobedient Hebrews 

Excluded From The Promised Land
The Jews Going Into Babylonian Captivity
AD-70 Destruction Of Jerusalem ...

... Next Stop
The Second Coming!

May Almighty God Have Mercy Upon Us!

If He Wasn't Having Mercy Upon Us
We'd All Already Have Been Consumed!

Brethren,It Is Time To Wise Up
And
Rise Up ... Against Sin!
Now Is Not The Time To Say
If I Perish, I Perish!

I Wanna Live!

Then You Must
Your Heart To Jesus Christ Give!
He Will Never By Force Take From You! 
You Must Willingly, By Certain Faith
Hand It Over Humbly 
And 
In Gratitude, For Love, Mercy And Grace!

Sounds Reasonable!

It Is Reasonable
If
You Desire Of Christ's Redemption To Taste
And
The Heavenly City With Your Presence To Grace! 

Time To Stop Being Base!

It Is Time, Brethren
To Have Jesus Christ Set Our Pace!
It Is Time, Brethren
To Tie On The Gospel Boots
With The Saved By Grace Shoe Lace
And
Get To Stepping On Vile Satan's Face!

May The Living God
Grant Us His Favor
So That We As Living Sacrifices
Be ... In His Nostrils
A Pleasing Savor!

AMEN!

SUMMATION: Man's Life ...!






Man's Life
Is Summed Up
In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Six (6) Words:

Trial!
Probation!
Reflection!
Expectation!
Recompense!
AND
Retribution!

If We Are On TRIAL
It Means We Are Presumed To Be Guilty Of Sin!

Actually ... 

There Is No Presumption -
All Have Sinned!
We Do Not Attain
Reach To God's Glory!

If We Are On PROBATION
We Have Been Proved Guilty
BUT GODThrough Christ's Merits
Is Giving Us The Opportunity
To Be Rendered
To Be Made Clean!

We Must Live Up To "The Trust!"
We Must Stick To The Bargain
Or Feel
The Full Weight Of The Law
Because We Reject
Free Grace
AND
Presently Available Mercy!

In Probation
We Reflect On
Where Why We Went Wrong
AND
With Risen Understanding
We Have The EXPECTATION
Of Full Release
Upon Fulfillment Of The Obligations
Of The Gracefilled Probation!

With Probation Ceased
AND
Final Judgment Arrived
We Have Before Us
RECOMPENSE
Payment Of Achieved Compensation
Elevation To The Hallowed Estate
Past Record Expunged
Entrance Into The Witness Protection Program
With
Assigned New Name
New Home
A Completely New Identity
AND
The Overcomers' Transport Plan!

If We Failed Probation
As Evidenced By Heaven's Records
Buttressed By
Our Own Self-Incriminating
Can't-Be-False Witness
We Can
- In The Judgment Hour
On The Day Of God's Wrath -
Expect A Full Cup Of God's Justice
Unmingled With God's Mercy
In The Aspect Called
RETRIBUTION!

RETRIBUTIVE
JUDGMENT:


Rejected!
Bound Hands And Feet
And
Cast Into Outer Darkness
To Be Eternally Separated
From God
In The Second Death 
From Whence
There Is No Recall!
Ever!

Those In Retributive Justice

Are Completely Consumed!


I Was Born In Sin
AND
Shapened In Iniquity
Aka Planned Sin!

On Trial
I Was Convicted
BUT
In Mercy
The Judge
Did Me
A Probationary Term Give!

I Had Time To Reflect
On Past Deeds
To Confess
AND
To Repent
To Turn Over The Old Man
AND
To Attire Myself
In Redemption Song's New "Shirt And Pants!"

In Truth
I Desire The Expectation
Which Says
"He Knows The Thoughts He Thinks Towards Me
To Give Me An Expected End ..."

Which Includes
Soul Peace!
AND
The Promise That
Eyes Have Not Seen
Nor Ears Heard
The Things That God
Has Prepared
For Them That Love Him!

I Should Note Here That
The "Love" We Have For God
Must Be Love Unto Death
Which Leads The Faithful
To Eternal Life!
We Cannot Fool God!

I Should Clearly State Here
That
With Expectation Embodying Love For
AND
Faith In
The Lord Christ
I Look Forward To The Recompense Of
Sure Reward
For
Having Determined
By Grace Through Working Faith
Because Of Love For My Lord
Be It Known
That Satan Has No Part In Me
AND
He Can Take My Share Of Retribution
AND
All Of His Own
On His Own!

I Can See The Nail Prints!
I Can See The Gash In Christ's Side!
I Can See The Scars Left By The Crown Of Thorns
AND
I Can See The Look Of Love
That Hides The Depth Of The Sacrifice Made
To Get Me Into
God's Safe Haven
In Heaven
The Forever Home!

I Desire To Have My Faith Made Sight!
I Desire To Live In The Land Of No Night!
I Desire The Private Audience
With The Redeemer
The Prince Of Peace
AND
I Desire To Travel
To World's Unknown
To Tell Of The Love Of
The Lover Of My Soul
Who Died
To Save A Wretch
A Bold Sinner Such As I Had Been
So That I Could Walk With Him
On The Golden Shores
No Longer Separated
No Longer Needing
A Way To Call
To Get Into
The Father's House
My Forever Home!

I Have Accepted Christ's Offer!
Do You?
Will YOU?!
