Recipe For Disaster!




... I Had Left The World In Practice
AND
Not Too Long After
My Spirit Followed
BUT
You Must Understand That
It Was A Fight
For My Spirit ... For A Time
Still Basked
In The Things-Of-The Wicked-World Glow!
I Still Wanted To Go With The Flow!

That's The Truth!
I Know!

I Had Thought Nothing Of It
For
I Was Done With The Allurements Of The World
Until The Day I Heard The Trumpet Calling
AND
My Hair Started To Curl!

Shocked ... I Cried Out:

Lord,
What Meanest This?!
I've Forsaken The World
So Why Is My Spirit
Desiring A Worldly Twirl?!


I Got Out The Old Bible
And Had Me A Look Through
AND
Then The Story Of Lot And His Family
Was Under My Review!

I Read It!
I Pondered It!
I Read It ... Again
AND
Knew
That The Key To My Problem
Laid In The Person Of Lot's Wife Who
Loved Life In The Flesh Pot
More Than The God Who
Staved Off Sure Destruction
So That Through The Gate To Salvation
She Could
- With Alacrity -
Walk Through!

The Things That One Loves
Are The Things That Hold Dominion
Over Body And Spirit
AND
You Can Be Sure 
That - With Wisdom - They'll Never Attend
The Faith-In-God's-Word Cotillion!

Control Of The Spirit
Must Be Given Over To The Savior
Or Else
Spirit Will Encourage Carnal-Minded Body
To Indulge In Known Unseemly Behavior!

Lot's Wife Loved Her Things
More Than She Loved Her Life
AND
Her Love Of Her Perishable Things
Cost Her ... Her Unregainable Life!

Living In The Flesh
Is Looking For 
Embracing Death
AND
Death Is Disguised
As Looking Good At Living Life
Until Death Is Unmasked
After You - Lost - Die!

Come On!
How Is Unmasked Death Profitable
To The One Who Dies?!

It Isn't!
It's A Cautionary Tale
For The Living
Teaching Them Not To Despise
The Blessings Of Heaven
AND
Not To Be Ruled
By The Devil's Leaven!

"Do What Thou Wilt!"
Is The Recipe For Disaster
AND
Many Are They
Who Stoke The Damned Devil's Laughter
By Not Committing
Body AND Spirit
To The Care Of The Lord
AND
Walking, Walking Talking
In Inharmonious Profession
In The Face Of The World
In The Sight Of The Eternal God!

What, May I Ask You
Is An Inharmonious Profession?!

That's When Your Walk And Your Talk 
Don't Comport aka Align aka Line Up!

Exactly!

Yeah! They Talk Turkey And Walk Duck!

What I Still Don't Understand
Is The Correlation Between You And Lot's Wife?!

Lot Ran A Godly Operation
AND
It Is Assumed ...!

... Careful Wielding That Assume Thingy!
It's A Side-Winder!

Will Do!
We Take For Granted
That Lot's Wife Was A Godly Person
BUT
If You Look Closely
You Will Plainly See 
That In The Hour Of Her Trial
Her Love Of Her Possessions 
AND
Apparent Status
Rendered Her A Woman Starkly Ungodly
- Plainly Idolatrous -
For Her Things Obtained Her Worship
AND
In The Day Of Escape
Her Spirit Was Behind Her
- She Seemingly Felt That God Had Dealt Harshly With Her -
Esconced In The Damned City
AND SOHer Quivering Flesh
Concerned Fearful
For Its Welfare
Wittingly
Wilfully
- Slighting The Eternal God's Grace -
Did Look Back ...!

... And Death Attacked!

That's A Shame ... A Disgrace!

I Get It! I Get It!
Her Spirit Led Her Eyes
So She Looked Back ... Twice!
Her Heart Was In The Doomed City
So Her Body Wanted
Yearned
To Be There
And, So
Her Eyes Thereto Turned!

How True!
Your Spirit Controls Your Body
Unless AND Until
You Turn Over Self
- Completely -
To The Lord Of Life
- Totally -
To Make The Way For You
In The Carnal Strife!

Well Put!
God In - Self Out!
Self In - God Out!

Man Cannot Serve Two Master
For
One Will Be The King
And The Other  Will Be As Broken Plaster
And Therein Will Lie
Sure And Real Disaster!

Man Needs To Learn This Lesson For Life Faster
So That The Lord Of Life
Will Be Their Only Master!

Amen!

CRUISING FOR A BRUISING: The Title Bout!

Fancy Appellations
Do Not Good Christians Make
For
In The Day Of Trial
That "Good Christian" Will
His Own Reputation
Seek To Save
Instead Of Standing In The Truth
For The God Of Heaven's Sake!

What's An Appe-lation?

An Appellation Is A Title
Often A Title Grand
Signifying That One Is
A Master If You Will
Of The Skill Talent
Endeavor
By Which He Or It Stands
And Is Known!

Huh?!

Okay ... It's Like This:

Barbados Is The Gem Of The Caribbean
New York Is The Big Apple
Ringling Bros. Is The Greatest Show On Earth
Billy Graham Is The Great Legitimator
Solomon Was The Wisest Man Who Ever Lived
Cassanova Was The World's Greatest Lover
AND
To Bring It All Just A Little Bit Closer
Do You Remember Norbert?!

Sure Do! 

He Is Called A Man Of Prayer!
Fraser Is A Most Gifted Preacher
Tiffany Is The Best Psalmist
Blondell Is The Star

And Demanee Is The Most Devoted Christian Ever ...!

Wait A Minute!
Now I Understand!

Do You Remember When
God's Right Hand
That Rare Visionary
And Devoted Man Of God
And All Around Bulldog For Christ
The Rottweiler For Righteousness
Brother Dr. Rev. Apostle Prophet Hussy
Was Introduced At The Last Master's Conference?!

Yes, I Do!

Did You Understand  ...
Do You Now Understand Where
I Am Leading?!

Yes, I Think I Do ...!
Yes! I Do!
Lord, Help Us!

Not Six Weeks Later 
Church Was In Uproar
Because
The Bulldog Had Imbibed Much Vodka With Sour Lime!
The Rottweiler Had Torn Down A Hemline!
The Doctor Has Committed Malpractice!
The Apostle Was Proved Not To Be A Saint!
The Prophet Had Prophesied Lies
AND  ...

Isn't It Interesting What Happens
When We Focus On Self
Instead Of Lifting Up The Lord
When We Pander To The Fraud
AND
Believe That We Are The Best Thing
Since Choice Bread
AND
Behave As If We Are Doing
The Living God A Great Favor
By Us Allowing Ourselves
To Be Called By His Name?

Oh, Dear! Oh, Dear!
Not Good! Not Good At All!

Didn't Jesus Warn About
The Pharisees
And Their Love For Fancy Titles
AND
Did He Not Tell The Disciples





The Inspired Psalmist King David Said It Best:

A Good Name Is To Be Preferred
Before Great Riches!

But ...

What Do We See In This Day?

Every Body And His Brother
Loves To Know That He Has A Letter
Or Two Or Three Or Four
For The Letters Get Him
Access Reach And Grasp
AND
He Becomes The Gatekeeper Of Glory
The One That Every Seeker Must Get Past!

The Higher The Monkey Climb
The More You See His Raw Behind
AND
- As The Lord, Himself, Stated
To The Laodicean Church -
He Needs To Buy Of The Lord
White Raiment Aka Good Character
So That The Shame Of His Nakedness
Be Not Exposed!

An Uplifted Self
Lowers The Lord!
BUT
The Uplifted Lord
Is He
Who Secures For The Lifter
The Prize Of The Great Reward!

When We Put Self
In Its Perfect Place
When Trials Come
We Do Not Have To Run
Scramble
Hide
AND 
Become Snide
Attacking All
To Protect Self's Reputation
For
We Know In Whom It Is
That We Are Hidden!

Humble Yourself
Under The Mighty Hand Of God
And ... At The Appointed Time
He Will Lift You Up!

Remember Saul ... Pride AND Greed!
Remember Satan ... Pride AND Greed!
Remember Absalom ... Pride AND Greed!
AND
Ananias And Sapphira
Seeking For A Reputation
Lied To The Holy Spirit
AND
To Death
Became Sure Victims!
There Was Absolutely No Need! 

A Title Written In Sand
Is A Title
That Will Be
By The Cruel Wind
Blown!
The Title Written
On The Rock Of Ages
Will Cause The Title-Holder
- In The Fulness Of Time -
To Stand In Peace
Glorified
Immortalized
Before The Holy God's Throne!

Choose You This Day
Whom You Shall Serve
The God Of Personal Reward
Or
The Living Holy God
In Whom Is No Fraud!

Think ... And Consider
Consider ... And Act
Act ... Upon The Truth
The Living Word Of God
AND
Save Yourselfself A World Of Hurt
AND
You Will Sure Disaster
- From Yourself - 
Divert!

Listen! Listen!
I Have The Best Title Ever!

Do You Mean To Tell Me ...!

Stop! Stop! Stop!
My Title Is:


Child Of God!

Oh.
