SECOND-GUESSING ALMIGHTY GOD: "No!" Is A Complete Sentence!




To See Our Lord Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace
We Must Understand, Accept
And 
Operate Under The Knowledge That "No!" 
Is 
A Complete Sentence 
Bearing Full Instructions Incapable Of 
Being Misconstrued, Misapplied
Mistaken, Mismanaged
Or Misinterpreted! 

Beloved, 

I Don't Know About You
But 
It Always Cracks Me Up To Hear One Person Say To Another: 

"Which Part Of "No!" Didn't You Understand: 
The N Or The O!?!" 

"No!" Stands For No Options! 

The Idea Of A One-Word Sentence 
Should Not Be Strange To Christians! 

We Have Jesus, Mercy, Grace
Help, Love, Heaven, Peace
Believe, Repent
Liar, Babylon, Hell, Satan! 

Each Of These One-Word Sentences 
Should Instantly Write A Story 
And 
Paint An Unmistakeable Picture In Our Minds! 

Dear One, 

How Do You Feel About Being Told "No!?!" 
Does Your Internal Translator 
Automatically Substitute "Yes!" In Its Place!?! 

Are You One Given To The Idea That 
"No!" Means Let The Negotiations Begin!?! 

Do You Believe That 
Second-Guessing The Lord For Denying You Your Heart's Desire 
Is 
Going To Make Like A Bird And Fly!?! 

We Are Growing In Grace 
          Through Faith 
                     Which Works By Love! 

Refusing The Direct Command Of 
The Lord Will Not Get You The New Life
The New Name
The White Robe
The Gold Harp
Or The Gold Crown! 

What We Practice We Perfect! 

Let's Set About Perfecting Our Praise 
And 
Accepting The Good Lord's "No!" Of Love By Faith 
So That By Patient Endurance We Will Hear 

"Welcome!" 

                      "Enter!" 

                                    "Home!" 

                                                     "Peace!"

The Lord Has Not Promised ...!

The Lord God Almighty
Has Not Promised Unto Any Man
The Day Called Tomorrow:
Do Not On Satan's Bold Lies Stand!

When The Creator God
Plainly Says:




You Should Buy The Free Clue
And
Recognize That Any Living On A Distant Tomorrow
Is 
One Who Shall Surely Not Have
Even The Ability About It To Sorrow!

 The Lord Also Says:




The Day Given
Is
The Day Blessed
And
Anything Else Anticipated 
Is 
Asking One To Become 
Unnecessarily Stressed!

Today Is A Present
A Gift To Be Unsealed
So Do Yourself A Favor
And
Let It In All Its Heaven-Clad Glory
Be Gratefully, Joyfully, Accepted
As It Is Plainly, Beautifully, Revealed!

Take What The Lord Is Giving
And
Be Blessed To Be A Blessing
For That Is Your Success
Not Hunting And Pecking
And
Indulging In Known Sin
Which Must Then Be Confessed!




Do Not Live Carelessly!
Confess Your Known Sin
And
Repent Each And Every Day!
Do A Daily Debrief!
See For What There Is Or Should Be Grief
And
If In The Night
Or At The Morning's Shining Light
Your Life Is Required Of You
You Shall Go To Your Long Home
Assured Of The Eternal Day
In The Land Where
There Is No More Death
No Crying 
And
No More Sorrow!

Wisdom ...

Be Not As The Unwise
Who Plan For What Is Not Sure
Who Think That Death Is For Everyone Else
When Death Is Knocking At Their Own Door!

If Your Tomorrow
Does Not Include A Life With Christ
Be Ye Warned:
Your Life Is Not One That Can Be Called Blessed
For You Are Living On The Wing
Not The Prayer
And
Your Outcome Is Not One That
The Righteous People Of The Eternal God
Should Embrace Or Cheer!

The Lord Christ Has Given Unto Us 
Promises Preserved In His Innocent Blood
Which He Freely Gave For Our Soul's Salvation!
He Has Promised Us An Eternal Home
And
His Eternal Life
And
He Has Promised Us That He Will Never Again
Destroy The Earth With A Flood!

The World Is Reserved By The Lord
For Destruction With Unquenchable Fire
By His Hand ... Alone
And
All Who Choose Not To Live By His Merits
Shall Find Themselves 
- Along With Satan And His Fallen Angels -
Destroyed By It!

A Word Of Cheer 
For All Who Choose To Believe ...

Satan Is The Father Of Lies
And
His Stated Purpose Is To Deceive
But
The Lord God Of All Grace
Is
Faithful, Just, Loving, Kind And Ever True
And
He Is Calling, Calling, Calling
Pleading With You, Beloved
To Love Him
To Follow Him Faithfully
And
To Him ... Alone
To Be Obedient, Loving And Prayerfully True!

This Is His Sure Word Unto You:

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**


PLEASE ENJOY THIS RENDITION OF: You'll Never Walk Alone by Wintley Phipps

The Contrite Heart



The Contrite Heart

If only ...


I should have ...


I could have ...


Maybe if ...


Perhaps I ...


So Sorry for Self-inflicted Sorrow.


Useless!


Unchanging!


Unchangeable!                  It's ... Too late!


I CAN'T CHANGE IT!! 


But I Can … REPENT!




Joel 2: 13 – And rend your heart, and not your garments, and


turn unto the Lord your God: for He [is] gracious and


merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth


Him of the evil.






I Am FORGIVEN!




2 Timothy 2:15 – Study to show thyself approved unto God, a


workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the


word of truth.

RICHES


RICHES!


Riches without SORROW – only God can give
For the rich man in his greed thinks he'll outlive
The poor, the meek, the beggar in the street
Because he trusts his riches against God to compete!




Riches without FEAR – only God can give
For the rich man in his arrogance thinks he has no need
For child-like faith, or Almighty God in his life
Since with his money he purchases the bodyguards he feeds!


Riches without GUILT – only God can give
For the rich man in his great pride believes
His money entitles him to achieve
Whatever, and whoever, his lusts can conceive to receive!


Ah, rich man, now poor man – if only you knew
The God of Creation is always watching you
To see if your riches will to His Glory attend
Or give you the things that'll cause you into hell to descend!


Repent ye, this day, and to the Lord give your praise
Don't worship the things that fade and rust away
Be kind to the unfortunate, the downtrodden, the weak
And at the first resurrection, up to Heaven, you'll be raised! **BJC**
