We've Got To Go Through To Get Through!

By These Very Words

Jesus Christ Disabuses All Those Who Are Relying 
On That Vile Lie Of The Devil Which Says

Jesus' Rapture - Catching Away - Of His People To Heaven 

Will Be Before The Seven Last Plagues Are Poured Out 

And 

That They Will Not Be In The Thick Of The Strife! 

Jesus Christ Is The Word Of God

And

The Word Of God Cannot Lie!!

Jesus Christ Has Asked His Father ... Our Father
To Keep Us From The Evil

And 

We Will All Do Very Well 
To Fortify Ourselves With The Sure Word 

And 

Fire-Proof Our Minds By Constant Praying 

And 

Pleading With The Lord For Favor 
For Faithful Endurance
For Willing Obedience
For Rest In Him! 

Our Lord Jesus Keenly Felt 
The Need To Be In Constant Communion With His Father

And 

This Communion Often Resulted 
In Holy Angels Coming Down To Strengthen Him! 
Our Father Will Do The Same For Us Who Trust Him!

Our Beloved Jesus Never Committed Sin 

And Yet 

He Felt The Need To Pray Constantly!
He Has Lovingly Left A Pattern For Us To Diligently Follow! 

Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation ...

The Probing Question Must Be Asked
And
Honestly Answered:

Shouldn't Rabid Sinners

Even We Who Are Now Repentant-Sinners-Saved By Grace

Recognize Our Need For Help From Heaven 

And

As Clearly Instructed ... As Lovingly Encouraged

Humbly Pray With Passion 

And 

Persistence!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Not Wait Until Trouble Comes To Practice Praying! 

Let's Make Praying A Potent Part Of Our Christian Practice 

So That Our Default Position 
- When Trouble Does Come -

Will Be Peace Through Praying!

Peace Cannot Be Purchased

Begged For

Nor Bartered With

Because

It Is A Precious Gift

Freely Given To Each Of Us

By The Gracious Prince Of Peace

Prince Immanuel

Jesus Christ The Righteous

The Shepherd Of Blessed Rest! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Pray Persistently 
And 
Practically Plod On To Paradise! 

PRAYER... Of Faith, Hope And Love!

Hand Of Mercy! 

Hand Of Love! 

You Who Dwell In Heaven Above

Have Mercy

On Us Who In Faith Pray

And

Bless Us To Walk Ever

On The Straight And Narrow Way!

Bless Us, Lord

And

Help Our Faith To Work

And

Constrain Us

So That From Our Station Of Duty

We Do Not As Doubters Desert!

Father, 

Let Your Grace

Be Sufficient For Us Today

And

Help Us To Guard Our Hearts

So That Unto Fables

We Do Not Turn Away!

Have Mercy On Those Who

By Foisted Deception

Before The Graven Images

And

The Popular Idols Fall! 

Please Open Their Eyes

Let The Occluding Scales Fall! 

Grant Unto Them Wisdom

The Lie And The Liar To Detect

And

Help Them And Protect Them

As By Your Blessed Call

From The Ways Of Damnation

They Defect!

Help Us

Who Call Jesus Christ

Sovereign Lord And Holy God! 

Save Us

So That We May In Him

By Him

With Him

Ascend

To The Great Reward!

Let No One

- Man Pretending He Is God

Nor

Devil Demanding Worship As God - 

Cause Us In Fear

To Turn Aside

And Keep Us

Ever At Your Side! 

Let Us In You Abide!

Time Is Short

And

The Path To Glory Seems Long

But

Eternal God

Our Father

Please Help Us

To Keep Singing

A Zion Happy Song!

Father, 

Let No One Kill

Our Hope-In-God Tree! 

Help Us

In Our Fight For Soul Salvation

To

In Christ Jesus

Valiant Be!

Help Us To Walk Worthy

Redeeming The Time

And

Bless Us To Be Found

Good Stewards Working

E'er Death Claim Us

Before The End Of Man's 

End Of Earth's

End Of Sin's 

Time!

Help The Brethren

Near And Far

To Awaken From Sleep!

Succor Those Who Are Struggling

Help Them To Stand On Steady Feet!

Let Your Most Holy Word Be

Foundation

Anchor

Pillar

Shade

And Food

And

Should We Sin Against Thee

Help Us To Avail Ourselves

Of Your Forgiveness

Expensively Purchased

And 

For The Asking

Offered Unto Us

Free!

Help Us

In You

To Rest Easy

Being Instant Constant

In Prayer

Living As Victors

For We Know

How

The Story Ends!

We Know The King

We Know What The Good Book Says!

Father, 

I Love You! 

Please Accept My Offering Of Pray

And Bless Me In Your Service

To Continue Each Day! 

Let Not Faith Fail

Let Not Planned Sin

Upon Me Creep

And

Help Me To Live In Your Love

That Says

The Loving Shepherd

Keeps Safe His Sheep!

Blessed Assurance! 

The Lord Jesus Is Mine! 

Come Soon, Loving Father

You Who Are Ever Kind! 

Let Your Divine Majesty

Burst On Our Sight

Thrilling Us With Rapture

For It Is Our Will

- To You Surrendered -

To Take Our Much Anticipated Flight! 

AMEN.
