They Walk Like Christians ... But ...! + PRAYER: Help Me, Lord, To Walk Softly Before You!


Luke 11 39 KJV - Godly Ladies



Let's See: 
They Walk Like Christians 
And 
Speak Fluent Christianity 
So Everybody Expects That They Are Christians 

But ... 

They'd Be Dead Wrong 
Considering That All Who Intimately Know Them 
Call Them Predators
Ravening, Hungry, Rogue Wolves 
Whose Acts Are Practiced, Polished Wickedness! 

Beloved, 

This Condition Should Never Be Found 
In The Character Of The Child Of The Eternal God 
And 
Any Of Us Who Are Living This Lie 
Should Look In The Mirror Of Truth 
And 
Be Roundly Rebuked Thereby! 

Nobody Married Is Half-Married! 
Nobody Pregnant Is A Lil' Bit With Child
And 
For Sure Nobody Has Ever Seen A Dead Body 
And 
Said That It's Almost, Almost Alive! 

Pay Attention ...

When We Accept Jesus Christ
He Calls Us His Own
And 
We Call Ourselves Christians! 
We Are Not Chris' Nor Tians But Christians 
So Let Us "Eat The Whole Sheep" 
And 
Behave Like Our Lord Christ 
Whose Obedient Children, Servants And Students We Are
At Least According To Our Published Profession! 

Remember ...

If We Accept 
And 
Learn From The Rebuke In The Holy Word
We Will Never Have To Hear The Condemnation 
Or Feel The Damnation Of The Holy God! 

Be Wise: 
We Can't Fool The Lord Christ In Whom Is Our Peace! 


PRAYER:

Without You, Lord
To Lead Me, Guide Me
Teach Me, Feed Me
Save Me
And
Bless Me
I'm Anchorless, Rudderless
Shiftless, Useless
Careless, Conscienceless
Heartless
Boundaryless
Steeped In Idleness And Wickedness 
Purveying Viciousness
Lacking Hopefulness
And
Truly Futureless! 
Have Mercy, Lord, On Me! 

Father, 
Jesus Christ Has My Name Engraved On His Hand:
Please Help Me To Engrave His Love Upon My Heart! 

I Look Around Me, My Father
And I See The World 
Lost And Listless
Wantonly Following Satan
That Churl Who Is Hate, Destruction And Death
And
My Heart Is Saddened Thereby!
Have Mercy On This People, Lord! 

I Call Upon You, Father
Who Gave Your All For Me
And
Ask You To Help Me
To Be True, Kind, Helpful, And Careful
To Be Enduringly Faithful
And
To Walk Before You Softly! 

Please Help Me To Know My End
The Length Of My Days
So That I Will Never
Maliciously Sin Against You Or My Fellowman 
And
Have No Future
Save The Blackness Of Darkness
The Nothingness Grave! 

I Confess My Sin, Father 
And
I Sincerely Repent
And
I Beg And Beseech You
To Help Me To Stay Under Your Blessed Tent
Next To The Still Waters
In The Beautiful Pastures So Green
Where You Will Anoint My Head With Oil
And
Nourish Me With Good Food From The Uncursed Soil! 

I Need You, Lord! 
I Love You! 
Please Help Me In My Daily Life To Do Better
So That On The Golden Shore
Eternal Praises To You
I Shall Surely Utter! 
My Heart Is Yours, Lord
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Pray! 
AMEN!!!

True Friend ... With Real Benefits!

I Have A Friend And The Benefits Are To Die For! 

Are You Out Of Your Tiny Mind!?! 

Oh, Yes, I Am And I'm Loving It! 

Somebody Call 911!
Gracilla Done Gone And Lost Her Mind! 

Oh, No, She Hasn't! 
She Has Made The Best Decision Ever ...!

... You've Lost Your Mind, Too! 

You'd Do Well To Lose Yours And Join Us! 

Excuse Me!?! 
Why Would I Join You Heathens In Committing Known Sin!?! 

You Would Join Us, Too, If You Know Who The Friend Is! 

I Sincerely Doubt That
And I Rebuke You All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Wait, I Thought She Said, I Distinctly Heard Her Say That
She Doesn't Want Any Friend With Benefits
So Why Is She Calling His Name!?! 

What Are You Talking About!?! 

Dear Chantelle ...! 

... Call Her CINO Aka Christian In Name Only!

She's Not Going To Like That At All! 

Life's Hard! 
She'll Get Over It ... Eventually! 

If She Doesn't, She'll Never Get Over The Separating Line! 

Since You Put It Like That ...!
Dear CINO, 
We Are Talking About You
Who Claim The Name Of Jesus Christ
But
You Eat Your Own Bread
And
You Wear Your Own Clothing!
You, Dear Heart, Are Depriving Yourself Of
The Rich And Royal Benefits That
He Has And Gives Freely
To Us To Whom He Is The One True Friend! 

Oh, Dear Lord!
I Think I Need To Sit Down! 

Sweet Girl, You Are Sitting Down! 
What You Need To Do Is Stand Up
And
Humbly Claim Your Relationship
With The True Friend ... Jesus Christ The Lord
With Real Benefits ... Which Lead To The Heavenly Reward! 

I, I, I ...! 

... Close Your Mouth! 
You Look Like A Guppy! 

Yeah! 
Close Your Mouth And Open Your Heart
And Feel The Love! 




For All The Days When You Think That No One Loves You
And 
No Cares For Your Personal Well-Being
Remember That There Is God The Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Knows Your Name
And 
Personally ... With Mercy Because Of Love
Provides For You
And 
You Don't Even Have To Beg! 

Urgently Call On Him!
Eagerly Share Your Heart!
Lovingly Touch The Holy Hand Of Help
And 
Peacefully Rest Under His Sheltering Wings 
Where It Is Always Safe To Abide! 
Waiting For You, Beloved
Is 
The Open Treasury Filled With Innumerable Blessings 
Of Which Forgiveness ... That Ever Heals
Is 
Foremost! 

Jesus Christ ... The One True Friend
The Divine Friend
Who Provides Innumerable Blessings And Bounties
And
Benefits Which Always Include Our Daily Bread
Sacrificially Loves You And Me: 
Touch The Holy God Gracious Who Is Near And Dear
And 
Know His Perfect Peace!
He Forever Lives And ... He Unstintingly Gives!


Come To Jesus Christ
Because
He Loves You
And
Gives The Best Blessings And Benefits
And Then
Stay In The Relationship
Because
You Realize That You, Indeed
Eagerly Return His Love
And
Would Stay With Him Forever
Even If He Gave You Nothing More!

HAPPY SABBATH + CROWWWWW + PRAYER: Bless Us To Bless Others, Father!








... I'm Sorry That I'm Late!
What's He Been Saying In The Preamble!?!

Search Me! 
I Don't Know And I Don't Care!

Wow! That's Some Attitude!
Who Squeezed Your Lemon!?!

His Pontificating Nibs, Himself
Harold Shamus Pickering
Our Preacher For Today!
I'm So Sick Of Him!

That's Not Like You, Terry!
What's Really Going On!?!

Ohhhh!
I'm Sorry For Being Grouchy And Unkind, Merlita!
It's Just That He Recently Caught Me
Having A Really Bad Day
And His Chastisement 
Was Not Well Appreciated By Me!

Oh, Dear!
Do You Want To Talk About It!?!

Not Really ... But I Need To!

Come On! Let's Go Outside!
We Still Have A Few More Minutes To Wait!
We'll Have Time To Talk Privately!

I Did Something Really Stupid 
And He, Rightfully, Upbraided Me
But ... Me Being Prideful
And In The Known Wrong
Didn't Take Kindly To The Real Kindness In His Rebuke! 

Oh, Dear!
But You Do Know That He Really Cares For You
And
That He Seriously Takes To Heart
His Position As The Lord's Underling-Shepherd
In Caring For All The Members
Of Our Little Flock, Don't You!?!

Yes, Yes, Yes! I Do!
Shame ... Remorse ... Anger ... Fear
All Got The Better Of Me
When He Quoted Me Jude 1:24-25!






Merciful Powers!
I Don't Even Want To Know What It Is That You Did
But
You Must Know, Terry, That 
Only Jesus Christ Saves 
And 
Only Those Who CROWWWWW
Aka Confess, Repent, Obey
And 
Wisely Walk, Work, Watch 
And 
Wait Upon Him
- Clothed In The Fire-Proof Garment Of His Righteousness - 
Will Stand Safely In The Light Of His Glorious Presence! 

May I Speak Plainly!?!

Yes, Aimee, You May!

The Holy Spirit Is Still Working With You!
You Attend Church Faithfully
And
You Talk A Good Game
But
Are You Allowing Yourself To Be Washed In The Blood!?!

When Are You Going To Forsake The World!?!

When Are You Going To Let Go Of Self!?!

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Everyday!
Are You Confessing 
And 
Repenting Of Your Known Sins!?!
You Claim To Be Walking With The Lord
But
Are You Walking In Obedience!?! 
By Your Own Admission
You Know That You Have Been Acting Foolishly
But
I Am Boldly Asking You
When Are You Going To Finally Be Wise About
Your Soul's Purchased Salvation!?!
When Are You Going To Stop Living 
By Your Carnal, Lying, Deceitful, Eyesight!?!

When Are You Going To Accept That 
The Living God Reveals Himself To
And
Restores, Heals And Helps Those 
Who Choose To Trust Him Wholly!?!
When Are You Going To Start Using Your Faith
For Something That Truly Will Profit You!?!

When I Think Of You
I Remember The Apostle Peter
When Jesus Said To Him:

"... And When Thou Art Converted
Help The Brethren!"

You Would Be A Real Blessing To The Kingdom Of Light
If 
You Will Let The Lord Lead You!

Terry ... Beloved
Please Reach For The Hand Which Saves
And 
Seals
And 
You Will Be Blessed To Be Blessed Forever 
When Jesus Christ Comes Again! 

Please, I Beseech You
Stop Running
And
Act Now
And
You Shall Have The Peace 
For Which We Both Know That You Are Seeking ...!

... You Mean Desperately Seeking!

Very Well!
I Accept Your Word!

I'm So Very Tired Of Running From Almighty God!
I Need That Perfect Peace That Jesus Christ Promises!
I Desire To Have The Lord Be Pleased With Me!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!
You Don't Know How Long
I Have Wanted To Hear You Say That!

Well, My Friend!
Today Is Your Luck- ... Uh, Blessed Day!
I Am Surrendering My Will To The Lord!
I Am Going To Walk ... Wisely
In His Glorious Way!

Praise The Lord For Present Grace!

Bless The Lord For Coming Glory!


PRAYER:

Father,
Please Be With Your Children This Night
And
Bless Us To Ever Walk Wisely
In Your Eyes
So That We Will Always Defeat
The Lying Works
Of
Our Adversary, The Devil!

Be With Each And Every One Of Us
Who Pray 
And
Who Look With Longing
For The Coming Great Day!

Bless Us To Bless Others!
Teach Us To Teach Others!
Guide Us To Guide Others!
Love Us To Love Others
And
Use Us So That We Will Not Use Others!
Please Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit
Upon Our Flesh
And
Bless Us To Willingly Do Your Bidding!

Guard Us!
Guide Us!
Keep Us!
Feed Us
And
Lead Us Gently Home
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Pray And Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
We Love You And Need You!
Have Mercy!
AMEN!

Church Change Came



Church Change Came



Phil A. Dephia and Lao Dicea were two Christians
Who each received letters from The Master today
They were excited for they knew Him personally
And couldn't wait for His words additionally!


Phil and Lao sat down their letters to read
Oh how both their hearts did speed
To hear from The Master – what a thrill
For both knew their hearts He would definitely fill!


They knew that The Master knew them inside and out
They knew a letter from The Master was something to shout about
So with shaky hands, and foreheads gathered
They opened their letters, and read the words tethered!


Phil read his letter and started to cry
For The Master said His Faith Phil had not denied
Even living amongst those who would him kill
He'd kept his garments white and His garden did till!


What made Phil cry and hug the letter to his heart
Was the part where The Master said, in part:
Because thou has kept the word of my patience,
I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation,
Which shall come upon all the world,
To try them that dwell upon the earth (Rev. 3:10)


By now, Lao had finished his letter reading
And knew in his heart he deserved the beating
That he felt he'd received by reading those words
That had become back-belaboring boards!



With tears of contrition, his heart laid bare
Lao re-read the letter, the condemning words to hear:
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm,
And neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich,
And increased with goods,
And have need of nothing;
And knowest not that thou art wretched,
And miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
That thou mayest be rich;
And white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
And that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;
And anoint thine eyes with eye-salve,
That thou mayest see. Rev. 3:15-18


It was then that Lao truly saw the encouraging words
He felt his beloved Master had sent to him
Lao savored those words time and again
And felt renewal of spirit rear up in his soul!


As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:
Be zealous therefore, and repent Rev. 3:19
Became Lao's reason for loving and living
And encouraging self and others from complacency to take flight!
All was not lost! There was still a kingdom to gain
Plus a seat at His banqueting table!
So it was from that day, that with the Spirit Lao performed
As befitting a child of The Glorious Kingdom!


No more self-serving
No more in corporeal wealth a-gloating
No more wearing one's own garment of state
No more blindness of eye
No more trusting in pie
For The Master had removed the stye from his eye!


Lao now constantly blesses his Master
Thankful for averted disaster
For the chance to clean up his act, and to change
Into a garment of His Righteousness
After casting away the eyeglasses
And becoming the possessor of real and tried gold!

Revelation 3:19 Whom He Loves He Chastens


Revelation 3:19 (KJV)

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: 
be zealous therefore, and repent.

Dear Ones,

I sincerely hope that this note finds all of you in good spirits, and doing well.

I am currently doing a write-up on two of the seven church ages, and the verse above became one of my memory verses.

With this verse in mind, I am encouraged to remind us to remember that our Almighty God loves us better than any human parent can.

Jesus Christ gave His best, His life, so that we can have eternal life.

His sacrifice was not happenstance! It was a plannedstance! He created us, and put contingency plans in place for us weak creatures of the sod. He left not one thing to chance!

Jesus loves us, and because He loves us, He rebukes us AND chastises us, not in the manner to make us afraid of Him, but in a manner which clearly says:


   "Child of mine, I love you
So hearken to what I say
Walk on the straight and narrow, and
Don't let sin carry you away!

Your heart is willing to obey
But your flesh gets in the way
So when you step off the path of right
I'll call you to straighten up right away!

Please don't be dismayed when I rebuke you
Please don't think I'm casting you away
Please don't murmur about your chastisement
Please accept it, repent, and pray!

I rebuke you, My child, because I love you
I chastise you so you will know that I care
About your soul's salvation, and
Perfecting your character for the Courts Above!

I'm coming soon, so prepare me a welcome
Keep your lamp filled with oil and always prepared
Let your light be shed abroad -- be My Ambassador
Let nothing keep you from welcoming your Lord!

So, My child, keep your eyes focused on Me
Study My Word, My Love Letter to you
Keep My commandments and a song in your heart, child
Go on my errands for, indeed, My coming is very near! **BJC**
