PRAYING LITTLE: Little Faith!

Let's Offend Satan Today:
Exercise Faith And Indulge In Prayer
To The True And Living God
In Highest Heaven Above!!!

**--**--**--**--**

Pray Little Was Telling Everybody And His Brother That
She Had Found The Man Of Her Dreams
In A Chatty Room
On-Line
And
She Is Calling It A Heavenly Hook-up!

Brenda, Did That Silly Girl Tell You The Name Of Her "Beau!?!"

I Can't Say That She Did!

Well, I Ain't One To Gossip
Or Mind Big People Business
But ...! 

... Oh, Dear! 
I Don't Like How This Starting To Sound! 

Are You Going To Let Me Finish!?! 

I'm Sorry, But You're Making My Antenna Vibrate! 

As Well It Should! 

Okay, Okay! 
Tell Me What You Know! 

Our Little Miss Innocent Pray Little
Has Got Herself Involved 
In An Incestuous Relationship 
With Her Cousin ... Once Removed
Whose Name Is Little Faith! 

Lord, No! 
You're A Liar! 
She Wouldn't! 
She Couldn't! 

She Did! 

But, Why!?! 

From The Horse's Mouth
And I Quote:

"He Completes Me!"

You Do Know That She Wasn't Lying!?! 

Of Course, I Did
And That Is What Is So Very Frustrating About It! 

Don't You Have Any Eligible Young' Uns In Your Circle! 

I Tried To Hook Her Up With I. Believe God 
Buuut She Told Him To His Face That 
He Doesn't Light Her Fire
That He's Too Set In His Ways
That There's No Excitement In Him! 

Mercy, Lord, Mercy! 

Smyrna Lee Tried To Get Her To Chat Up Enduring Faith
And The Prideful Young Miss Said That He Is Too Old
And That She Needs Warmth, Heat, Electricity In Her Life! 

Wait! 
Waaaaait A Minute!
I've Heard This Conversation Before ...! 

.... Took You Long Enough To Catch On! 

Oh, Dear! 
Been There ...! 

... Done That!

And So The World Turns!

Nothing New Under The Sun! 

Indeed, Indeed! 

Shall We Break It To Her
Or Shall We Let Her Have Her Fling In The Cruel World 
While She Attends The School Of Hard Knocks!?! 

Let's Tell Her! 
We Can't Make Her Do Anything
But 
We Can Tell Her The Truth! 
How She Then Chooses To Perform
Will Be Her Own Private, Personal, Uncoerced, Decision! 
No Effort, No Hope Of Reward!

Fair Enough! 

Brethren, Beloved

Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of God
Which Plainly Tells Us
To Pray Without Ceasing!
If You Don't Have Faith
You Will Not Pray!
If You Do Not Pray
You Will Not Have Faith!

Praying Just A Little
Always Ends In Exercising Just A Little Faith!
These Are Scourges In The Life Of A Christian
And
Must Be Corrected At All Costs!

Without Faith
All You Have Is Doubt
And
Doubt Always Leads To Disbelief!

Disbelief
Always Gives Satan
Something "Delicious" Against Jesus Christ
To Vindictively Rail About!

Without Faith 
It Is Impossible To Please Our God Holy
And
Without Praying
We Have No Communication With Him!


Praying Raises Us Up To The Throne Of Grace
And
Faith Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FAT FAITH BLIGHTS: Cultivating Working Faith






Harmonie Had A Little Land
A Corner Plot Of Land
Beside The Highway Broad 
Her Back To The Sea Of Sin
And
With Her Heart Reaching Out To Wayward Humanity
She Desired To Plant A Crop
That Would Profitable Be!

She Had Planted A Bed Of Let Us Pray: 
She Prays Without Ceasing! 

She Had Planted A Bed Of Working Faith
A Bed Of Faithful Patience
A Bed Of Creature Comforts:
It Was Doing So-So!
A Bed Of Love And Hope
And
A Bed Of Caring And Sharing
And
She Woke Up One Morning
To Find Mingled With Her Bed Of 
Lovingly Cultivated  Caring And Sharing
The Distinctive Heads Of Bitter Snares!

Shocked To The Max
All She Could Do At First Was Stare
But Then Remembering Whose Child She Knows She Is
She Uttered A Heartfelt Prayer
To The Holy One Blessed Forever
And
With Strong Determination 
Proceeded To Plant Another Bed Each Of
Working Faith And Faithful Patience!

Her Neighbors' Interest Was Peaked
Because
Everybody Knows That Tending Multiple Beds Of 
Working Faith And Faithful Patience
Require Endurance
And
Not Many People Had The Stomach 
For That Kind Of Intense Exercise!

Everybody With One Iota Of Common Sense
You Know, That Not Common Thing
Knew That Increasing Working Faith Slowed Life
Aka Slowed The Receipt Of The Heart's Desire
While Substantially Increasing 
The Growth Rate Of Faithful Patience
Aka The Patience Of The Saint
- Which No One Ever Enjoys -
Along With Humility
Resting In Love
And
Growing In Grace!

That Growing Season
Always Spells A Deeply Courageous Struggle 
With Her Ladyship, Heady Delay
For The One Doing The Growing!

Heady Delay Is Neither Malicious Nor Crude!
She Isn't Presumptuous
And
She Is Never Rude!
She Just Takes Her Cool Time
Ensuring Lessons Are Learnt:

  • Never Block The Son
  • Send Down Deep Roots
  • Stretch Out For Wide Branches
  • Imbibe Lots Of Water Of The Holy Spirit
  • Receive Daily Nurturing From And By The Book And
  • Indulge In Copious Amounts Of Prayer Either By Your Voice Or Silently From Within The Heart!

How Doesn't Matter
As Long As Sinful Doubting Is Not Involved!

To Be Truly Successful
The Grower ... The Saint Of God And Christ
Must Not Ever Deviate From The Formula
Because
Deviation Causes Dilemma!
Dilemma Causes Disbelief!
Disbelief Encourages Doubting
And
Doubting Gives Satan A Reason
Against The Maker
In Glee To Parade And Shout!

It Must Be Said ...

Assurance Of Victory
Of A Plenteous Harvest 
Is 
There From The Start Of The Sowing
The Planting Process
And
Just Requires Conscientious Consistency
Working And Waiting
Watching And Praying
Believing And Receiving:
No Rinsing Required!
Just Repeat!

Be Aware ...

This Isn't A Work For The Unmindful
The Spiritually Lazy
The Boastful Proud
The Limp-Wristed Or Brittle-Kneed Weak!
To The Creator
The Maker
The Sustainer
The Provider
One Must Constantly, Prayerfully, Willingly, Seek!

Harmonie Is No Shirker!
While She May Not Always Completely Understand 
The Then-Prevailing Signs
She Trusts The Book Of Knowledge Completely!
She Heeds The Posted Warnings!

Harmonie Works What She Daily Receives
And
She Works Her Received Faith Practically To A Nubbin
And
At The Start Of Each And Every New Day
A Full Cup
- Enough Faith For That Day -
Is 
Always Found In Her Heart's Stores!

Lit Lamps On Lampstands ...

Harmonie's Lifestyle Greatly Offends Gully Boar
Who Is Always On The Rut
Digging Up And Delivering Doubt
And
Who, Personally
Is 
Rotten To His Fluffy, Extended, Core!
She Fares No Better With The Grabbits
Or The Gottits!

Gratitude ...

Harmonie Gives Her Maker
Her Lord, God And King
Fervent Thanks And Holy Praise 
Whenever Whoever
However Wherever Whatever Comes Her Way!

She Trusts That Her Master
Controls The Why
The Duration, The Beginning, The End
And
All Points In Between
And
Chooses His Will
Never To Deny
Never To Defy!

Harmonie Fully Expects Her Daily Gift!
Its Receipt Is No Surprise:
It Is A Bold Promise In The Good Book!
Her God, Holy
Does Not, Cannot, Lie
And
She Lives In And For Him 
And 
Daily Sings:

Faith Is Gift That I Daily Receive! 
I Look Forward To It With Expectancy! 
I Plant My Gift In My Fertile Heart Of Belief
Knowing That In My Jesus
Worked Faith Always Brings Relief
Help For My Journey
Courage For My Way
And The Blessed Assurance
That For My Heart's Willing Confession
And Repentance For Known Sin
I Shall Never For My Own Sin
Have To Pay!


Worked Faith Gives Me Necessary Hope 

And Help Each And Every Day
No Matter What That Gully Boar
That Imp Of Satan Repeatedly Says!


Jesus Christ Saves Me
And I'm Praying All The Way
Whether I Am At Work
Or At My Craft Having A Play!


Know The Right ...

FAITH Has The "H" For HOPE ... And Help!
Drop HOPE
And FAITH Become FAIT
Reading: Fear Always Inspires Torment!
Meaning: Physical Fear Inspires Spiritual Torment
Leading To: The Inclusion Of The Letter "N" For Need
And
Causing The Ill-Equipped Soul To FAINT
To Fall-Back
To Turn Back!

Brethren,

Faith Is A Precious Commodity
Freely, Daily, Available
- By Measure -
To Every Body!

It Must Be Worked
Exercised
Or For Disuse
It Is Excised
And, We, At The Mercy Of The Devil
The Enemy Of Our Souls
Shall Be Found Wanting
And
Without Heavenly Goals!

Jesus Christ Is Our Savior
The Only Giver Of Good Gifts
And
He Is The One Who Gives
Of Daily Faith The Gift
So Let Us Be Willing
The Gift To Unwrap
And
Put Same To Use In Our Heart Of Love
So That We May Withstand
All Sure To Come
Demonic, Sinful, Geared To Our Demise
Spiritual, Physical, Emotional Attacks!

Jesus Christ Is The Way
The Truth, The Light, The Life
The Savior, The Redeemer
Our Constant Help
In The Earthly Strife
So Let Us Not Become Weary In Well-Doing
Nor Wayward From Straight, Strait, Walking
For, If We Faint Not
We Shall Rise Upon Wings Of Eagles
Because
Exercised Faith Can Never Fail
And
Its Use Will Always Cause Satan 
In Desperation To Bitterly Wail!

Use Your Faith!
Pray For Grace!
Accept Mercy!
Walk In Light
And
The Living God Holy
Just, Faithful, Kind, Loving, Ever True
You Shall Surely Delight!
Fat Faith Blights!

Just So You Know ...

Yesterday's Faith Stays In The Past!
Today's Faith Can't Enter The Future!
Tomorrow's Faith Stays Exactly That
And
Those Who Don't Recognize This
Become To The Living Kingdom
The Losers!

There Are Only Two Kinds Of People:
Faith Users
And
Kingdom Losers!
Which One Are You!?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith's Gotta Work!






Heavenly Gifts Are Daily Given!
Faith, Amongst Them
Requires That We Use What We Have
And
Is That Treasure That We Need To Succeed
And
Is The Gift That We Need To Use
If
We Are Not To Go To Hell 
With Satan And His Angels
And
With That Thing Called Bre'k-Neck Speed!

Faith Without Corresponding Work
Is 
Dead ... Dead As A Door-Nail
And
There Is Not Anything That 
Anyone Can Do For Us Unless And Until
From The Hand Of The Gifter
We Substantially Take Our Fill
And
Start Walking Home ... To Our Father
Who Is In Heaven
That Place Of Rest 
That Is The Saved Man's Haven!

Get A Grip On Yourself ...

We Must Stop Partaking Of 
The Pharisee's Leaven Which Calls 
Faith, Foolish
Love, Cheap
Hope, Hellish
And
Unregenerated Self ... The Chief!

We Are Targets ... 

We Have Bullseye Targets
On Our Backs, Chests
Our Foreheads 
And
On Our Hands And Knees
And, Yet
The Most Efficient Bullseye
Is
The One Covering The Ear
The Covering The Eye
Those Recording Devices Of A Man
That Take Into The Unwary Heart 
The Known-Demoralizing Lie!

The Devil, Satan
The Dragon, The Serpent
That Snake In The Garden Was A Talker
Glib ... Even Unto This Day
Reaching Into The Mind Of Man
Through His Ear, Through His Eye
And
Endeavoring There To Stay
To Play Footsie
To Run Foot-Loose
Mangling
The Certain Truth
Hopeful
To Make A Miniscule Breach
And
Thereby Cause One To Relax Their Hold 
On Him Who Guarantees
Eternal Youth! 

Know The Right ... 

Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of Almighty God! 
Doubt Comes By Hearing The Word Of Satan
Our Accuser
The Adversary Of Our Souls
That Known Murderer
Who Desires Us To Worship Him
And Thereby
Steal The Prerogatives Of The Holy
The Eternal
The Living, Blessing, Giving One God! 

Watch Unto Pray ... 

Guard Your Heart
For Out Of It Come The Issues Of Life! 
Fix Your Eyes' Focus
And
Focus Totally On Christ! 
Unstop Your Ears
And
Tune Your Antennae
To The Frequency Of Christ
Who, For Your Purchased Soul
Personally, Personally Cares! 

Get Your Soul-House In Order ...

Live For The Life-Giver! 
Walk With The God Wise! 
Speak As A Saint Of The One God Holy
And
Do Not Mother Eve's Error Foolishly Reprise! 

Do Not Choose To Do As Daddy Adam Did
Preferring To Share The Fate Of 
The Disobedient One Loved
Instead Of Obeying The Lover Of Your Soul
Who Has Prepared A Place For You
In The Father's House
In The Heavenly Realm Of Love! 

Stand Up In The Faith Of Jesus!
Rest Upon His Word!
Permit Yourself To Be Influenced By Holy Angels
And
Turn Away From The Ways
The Means
The Pleasures ... The Perversions
Of The Wayward, Wily, Willful
Wastrel, Wandering, Wild-Goat Herd
Which Has Been Had By Him Who Hates
Who Loves To Skate 
Around Truth
Around Righteousness 
Offering That Which Does Not Bless
Does Not Confer Eternal Success 
But 
Stresses, Strands
And
Lands The Unwary Human
In The Barren Land
Where There Is No Light
No Love
No Sweet Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
No Bread Of Life
And
No Water Of Life
But
Provides Ample Supplies Of Strife, Sorrow
Gnashing Of Teeth
And Inevitably To Follow
Damnation
And
Second Death
Which Is Eternal Separation From The Holy God! 
That Is The Known Unrepentant Sinner's Reward! 

Choose Your Radio Station Carefully ...

Do Not Listen To The Words Of Satan
The Agile, Adept, Adaptable, Known God-Fraud
Nor The Words Of His Minions
Who Are Attuned To His Ways
And
Proudly Pleased With Their Putrifying Profits
Unmindful Of The Facts That
Soon Comes The Day Of The Lord Christ
The Day Of Small Things
The Great Judgment Day
The Day Of The Redeemed! 
Thereafter, Truth Is  Forever Esteemed! 

Hold The Fort Of Faith ... 

Let Your Gift Of Daily Faith Work ... For You! 
Bless The Lord Christ With Your Faith 
Your Trust, Your Hope, And Your Belief 
As He Blesses You With Righteousness
Goodness And Truth! 

The Bottom Line ... 

Give The Lord Christ Your Will
So That He Makes Your Way Plain: 

Keep Your Hand In The Hand Of Mercy!
Keep Your Gait In Step With Grace!
Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Hill Zion
And
Your Hope In Him Who Is Just And Faithful 
Who Will Never Your Faith In Him
Ever, Ever, Ever Disgrace! 

Jesus Christ's Heart Is True
And
He Is The Truth
And
He Lives To Bless Me And You! 


The King Is Coming! 
Get Washed 
And
Get And Stay Ever Ready!

Faith Is Free To Me And Thee!





Are You A Fair-Weather Christian!?!
Are You Living On Another's Faith!?!
Is Your Faith Fit
Able To Be Tested And Tried
Or Is Your Faith Fleeting
Inconstant
Waiting For Opportunity By Your Self To Be Denied!?!


Hold Up There, Purdy!
How Can One Live By Another's Faith!?!

Very Good!
Someone Was Paying Attention!
Monty, Not One Of Us Can Live By Another Person's Faith!

We Each Get Daily Faith
Daily Grace
And
Strength For The Needs Of The Day!

So, If That Is Indeed The Case
Why Did You Make That Statement!?!

I Made That Statement
Because
There Are Those Amongst Us
Who Harp On Grand-Daddy, Grand-Mumsy
Daddy, Mummy, Preacher, Teacher, Friend-Faith
As Though That Faith 

Is
A Commodity Most Prized
Suitable For All And Sundry
Easy To Be Utilized
Requiring No Personal Commitment
By Self To Be Exercised!


Be Wise ...

Another Person May Model Faith In Their Life 
In Your Presence
But
When The "Chips" Are Down
When The Rubber Hits The Road
When The Boat Is In The Ocean
When Your Plane Is In Turbulence
Faith Becomes Personal
Prized
By The One Who Has It In Personal Possession
Available At The Moment's Notice
Absent The Need To Go And Perform A Search For It!

Whatcha Lookin' Fir!?!? ...

We Don't Seek To Find Faith In The Fury Of A Storm!
If You Do, You Won't Find It
Unless
Possession And Exercise
Were Your Day To Day Norm!

Many People Called Christian
Are Going To Doomed To Disappointment
Dispossession
Dismissal And Damnation
Because
They Did Not Redeem The Time
By Making Exercised Daily-Faith
Their Most Prized Possession!


Faith Doesn't Reside In The Land Of Sight!

The Land Of Sight Houses Residents
For Whom Practiced Doubt Is A Delight

And

All Who Despise The Gracious Gift
Given To All Men Their Own Souls To Uplift
Shall Perish In The Sea Of Doubt
Churned
By Him Who From Highest Heaven
Was Given The Rout
Was Eternally Cast Out!

Don't Just Be Intellectually Wise:
Walk In Wisdom ...

A Watching, Working, Waiting
Enduringly Constant
Inflexible Faith
Impervious To Sight And Sound 
Distress Or Disappointment
Denial Or Delay
Is 
The Only Faith, My Friends
That Shall See Us Arriving Safely
- Character Cleansed -
At The Small-Things Great-Day!

Faith Prays! 
Faith Knows One Master!
Faith Marks The Way Home! 
Home Is With The Master! 
The Prayer Of Belief Enlarges Faith
And
The Master Gives The Measure Of Faith
To The One Who Chooses To Believe!
Believers Do Not Walk Alone!

Deceit Is Rife ...

Do Not By The Adversary's Posturings
His Postulations
Be Evilly Deceived! 
Let Truth In Your Heart
Be Welcomingly Received 
For By This ... In Heaven
You Shall Surely Be Joyfully Received! 
In This Is Jesus Christ Pleased!

Facts Are Evident!
Put Faith First!
Feelings Do Not To Faith Matter!
Ignore Self
And
Feelings Will Scatter!

JESUS CHRIST SAVES: Everlasting Life ... Is Mine!

Jesus Christ Belongs To Us!
The Father God Gave Him To Us
- The Priceless Gift -
And
The Word Of The Eternal God
Is
The Word Ever To Trust!

Jesus Christ Is Mine!
I Claim Him As My Own!
No One Can Take Him From Me
But
By Base Folly
I Can Ignore Him
And
Suffer For My Own Sin
For Which 
- By His Own Precious, Innocent, Blood -
He Did Atone!

Jesus Christ Is Mine!
I Claim Him As My Own!
No One Can Take Me From Him!
Not Death, Not Time
Not Circumstance
Not Principalities
Not Powers
And, For Certain Sure Not Satan The Bold
- The Base -
That Living Disgrace
Who Is Still Trying To Hurt Jesus
By Instigating Ways By Which
We Who Are Seeking To Get Home To The Father
May Fail The Way-To-Life Test!

But God Is Merciful ...

I Am To Be Obedient
Loving, Merciful
Kind
And
Trusting In The Living Word
Which Guides My Life
My Appointed Time
Wherein I Must Make The Call To Salvation
Accepting Christ As King
After Which I Must Do All That I Can
To Bless My Brethren!

From Me I Must Cast Away
Sin And Self!
I Must Uplift Sister And Brother!
I Must Tell Friend And Foe The Good News
And
Ignore The Stranger Danger!

I Must Live In The Light Of Life
And
Shed The Light Abroad
And
Not Hide It Under A Bushel
Because
I'm Fearful Of The God-Fraud!

Hold The Almighty 
In Godly Fear ...

I Fear The Living God Holy!
I Deny The Wannabe!
I Have Placed My Hand In The Hand Of Christ Jesus
And
In Him, Praise The Almighty
I'm Free, Free, Free!

Days Have Rain!
Roses Have Thorns!
Jesus Christ Is My King
And
Because Of His Blood-Bought Promise
I Know I Am Not Forgotten
Nor Shall I Walk This Vale Of Tears
Hungry, Frightened And Alone!

Jesus Christ Saves ...

Jesus, Lovely Jesus
Walks Ahead, Beside And Behind Me!
Jesus Watches Over Me
And
This Same Jesus
Is 
Coming Back To Receive Me!

I Am Heading Home To Glory
To The Heavenly Father's House!
I Have Faith
And
Mercy And Grace
And
The Good Influence Of The Holy Angels
Compliments Of Him Who Is Holy Love
Who Reigns And Rules
In Heaven Above!

And

The Lord Be Praised!
Myriad Blessings I Enjoy!
I Have The Holy Spirit
The Spirit Of Truth
The Comforter Of The Soul Of Every Man
Who Desires ... By Right
To Walk Through His Appointed Gate
Into The Holy City
The Beautiful Beulah Land!

Until Then ...

I Have A Cross To Bear ... Not Wear!
I Have Burden To Share ... Not Forswear!
I Have A Message To Send ... Not Keep!
I Have A Life Of Love To Live
Even If I Weep!

Jesus Wept!

Jesus Cares!
Jesus Hears!
Jesus Desires My Unselfish Prayers!
He Desires My Gifts Of Love
And
Gratitude
For His Undying Love ... To Me
Who Caused His Death
Who Causes Him Pain
Who Regularly Puts His Name To Shame
By Wayward Thought, Word And Deed
But
The Lord Be Praised
I, Repentant
- Not Presumptuous -
Beloved Ever And Still
Am Welcome At The Throne Of Grace
And
I Shall One Day ... Soon
See That Lovely Face
Face To Face
Because
My Faith Rewarded
Shall Have Removed Me From Being
A Cast Off
Cast Into Outer Darkness
Damned For All Eternity
Unrepentant
Rebellious Disgrace!

By The Will Of God
I Have In Heaven A Prepared-By-Christ, Place!
By The Amazing Grace Of The Eternal God
I Shall Drink Of The Water Of
The River Of The Water Of Life
And
Not Bathe In The Lake That Burns With
Brimstone And Fire
Prepared For The Fallen Angels
And Satan The Father Liar!

For Me
For All Who Choose The Living Word To Believe
Jesus Christ The Divine
The Only One Righteous
The King Of Earth And Glory
Is
Life ... Everlasting Life!
Jesus Christ Is Mine
And, Therefore Everlasting Life
Is
Mine!

One Day Coming Soon
I Shall Cross The Separating Line!
