DOUBT DESTROYS: Look Up To Jesus Christ With Hope ... And Live!




We Love To Sing "All The Way My Savior Leads Me!" 
But
In The Midst Of Daily Trial And Constant Temptation
Necessary Test And Internal Torment 
We Suddenly Forget Who Is The One We Call Savior
And 
The Prophesied And Blood-Promised Destination 
To Which We Are Being Led! 

Beloved, 

Satan The Adversary Is The Liar: 
Jesus Christ Our Savior, Our Creator
The Holy God
The Only Wise God
Is 
The Truth! 

We, Even When We Have Been Unfaithful To The Faithful One
And 
Have Gone A-Whoring After 
The Truthless And Useless Things Of This Life
Have Abundantly Seen The Providences
The Wonderful Provision And Saving Graces Of 
Our Blessed Jesus! 

This Present Time, Dear Ones
Is 
Not The Time To Become Faint-Hearted
Denying
And 
Doubtful About The Goodness Of Our God! 

I Pray That We Will Stand With The Brave 
Knowing Jesus 
And 
Telling The World That It Is He, Alone
Who Always Saves! 

Doubt Destroys! 

Look Up To Jesus With Hope ... And Live!

Flowers Of Faith!

No Matter How Dark The Day Is
Jesus Christ Shines!
No Matter How Hard The Way Is
Jesus Christ Shines!

With Jesus Christ The Lord
As My Savior Redeemer And Friend
I Can Face The Enemy Of Souls
Because, Well
Jesus Is The Way ... Maker
The Truth ... For Every Day
The Life ... Giver And Sustainer
The Light ... Of Life ... Come What May
Be It Storm Of Wind
Storm Of Life
Terror Of The Enemy
Or Pedestrian Fright! 

The Lord Is My Shepherd
And
In Him I Delight!

You Poor Deluded Soul!

At Least You Acknowledged That I Am A Soul
And
For That I Thank You!

Jesus Christ As Creator God
Breathed Into My Nostrils
The Breath Of Life
And
As Long As I Have Breath And Hope
Faith And Grace
Mercy And Pardon
And
Jesus Christ As King
- He Who Paid For My Pardon -
With This Life I Can Cope
And
Even Without Music
I Can And Shall His Praises Sing!

I Don't Know How You Can Have Faith
In What You Can't See
How You Can Walk A Road
When You Don't Know Where It Leads
How You Can Follow A Shepherd
Whose Face You Can't Identify
How You Can Claim A Savior Who Died
A Home In Heaven Which Is Pie In The Sky
Comfort Of A Holy Spirit 
When Spirits Are Known Cruel And Mean
And Protection Of Holy Angels
Well, Because You Say
They're Not Of The Fallen Ones
They're Not Those Unclean!?!

Oh, My!
You're Now Poor Thing!
You Are Walking In The No Man's Land
The Straight Betwixt Two
The Land Of No Return
Unless I Educate You:

Approaching The Land Of Faith 
From The Elevated Position Of Doubt
Sends You To The Land Willful Doubtful!
Visiting The Word - The World - Of Truth
After Having Lived Long Term Full Time 
In The Realm Of Sin Lies And Deceit
- With Double-Minded Doubt As Personal Teacher And Guide -
Puts You In Harms Way
Primed
For A Satanic Route!

Faith Is The Gift Of God!

Open Your Heart!
Open Your Eyes!
Extend Your Open Hand!
Accept The Gift From Grace!
Bow Before Mercy!
Open Your Gift Of Love!
Bless The Holy One, The Creator!
Exercise Your Gift Of Free Will
And
Free Choice
And
Reason With Almighty God
- Who Encourages This Engagement -
While Believing That He Is
And
That He Is The Rewarder Of Those
Who Diligently Seek Him
Because
He Said That He Who Goes To His Maker In Faith
- Nothing Wavering -
He Will Not Cast Into Outer Darkness!

Permit Me To Make It Simple ...

You Either Believe Or You Don't!
You Either Trust Or You Don't!

There's Always A Reason To Doubt When You Doubt!
There's Always A Reason To Trust When You Trust!
There's Always A Reason To Cry When You Lie
And
There's Eternal Life To Live With The Lord Christ
When In The Holy Jesus
The Righteous Judge
The King Of Creation
The Good Shepherd
The God Of Grace
You Die!

You Can Live By Faith With Hope
Or
You Can Die In Doubt With Proof!

If You Want To Know Jesus
Look In A Mirror!
Look At Your Neighbor!
Look In Creation!
Look Up At The Heavens!
Call On The Worthy Name!
Give Voice To A Heartfelt Prayer!
Believe By Daily Faith With Certain Hope!
Trust The Word And Obey!
Turn Away From Sin!
Walk In, By, And With Truth
And
With The Passage Of Time
From Time Into Eternity
Having Endured All Things For Jesus
Who Suffered All Things For You
Enjoy The Everlasting Day
And
Eternal Youth!

Want To Know Something!?!

What!?!

The Hardest Step To Make Is Faith!
The Hardest Journey To Take Is Trust!
The Hardest Book To Read Is Truth!

Indeed!
Every Child Of The Living God Knows This
And
Still Choose Him For Their Life Guide!

Accept Free Salvation ... And Grow Good Fruit!




We Do Not Earn Salvation
By Obedience
For
Salvation Is The Free Gift Of God!
Faith Reaches For
AND
Takes
A From-Death-Unto-Eternal-Life-Hold 
On Salvation
AND
Obedience Is The Fruit Of Our Faith
In Him 
Who Will Our Faithfulness Reward!

Obedience Is 
The Fruit Of Faith
Which Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
And That Makes Obedience
A Good Fruit
Twice Sweet!
AND
This Fruit Is Such
That It Is Filling With Satisfactions
Known
AND
To Be Known
When We See Our Blessed King
AND
Behold Him
On His Eternal And Glorious Throne!

A Life Of Obedience
AND
Unswerving Faith
Is
To The Sinner
A Strong Reproof
A Visible Felt Slap In The Face
An Indictment
An Affront
A Stark Challenge
To Be Severely Met
For
The Life Of Obedience
Causes The One Disobedient
Unfaithful To Truth And Right
To Be Miserable
AND
To Constantly Angrily Fret!

Remember Cain
Of Grossly Disobedient Frame
Who Hated Abel's Obedience
AND
Slew Him As Proof
Of His Stand
Against The Maker's Guidance
Showing Plain Also
His Stand Against Righteousness
AND
Killing The Innocent
So That The Guilty Raging Spirit
Could At Last
From Visible Reproof Rest
Though The Earth Grossly
With Innocent Blood
Be Indelibly Stained!

Remember
The Second Adam
Jesus Christ
The Second Abel
Whose Blood Gave Better Testimony
For It Cleans The Known Guilty Of Sin!

Abel
The Type Innocent
The Sacrificial Lamb
His Blood The Guilty Accused
BUT
Jesus Christ
The True Innocent
The True Sacrificial Lamb
- By Our Acting In His Faith Unto Obedience -
- By Accepting His Merits -
Will The Confessed
Repentant Sinner's
Reproof Remove!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Run Right
Or
Stand Wrong!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Earn
The Judge's Frown!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Claim
The Eternal King's Rewarding
AND
One Step
Is All It Takes
To Determine
One's Eternal Fate!

Act ONE
The Devil Acts!
We React!
The Consequence Is Ours!

Act TWO
Our Lust For Reaction
Gains Traction
AND
Consequences Are Damned!
We Are No More On The Fence
AND
Hope For Good
Unto To Willing Evil
Is Assuredly Gone!

Practice Is All It Takes
So ... Take Faith!
Accept ... Free Salvation!
Grow ... Willing Obedience!
AND
The Fruit
Of
The Tree Of Life
Your Mouth Will Surely Taste!


To Get A Good Crop
We Must Have Good Ground!

The Seed Of The Holy Spirit
Is
Always Good!

With What
Are YOU
Tilling
And
Manuring Your Mind?!
