STEPPING OUT ... IN FAITH: Jesus Christ Saves!




There's A Notorious, Demonic
Counterfeit Of Faith That Many Of Us Practice 
And 
Don't Even Know It! 

It's Presumption 
And 
It Can Lead To Deadly Consequences! 
Adam And Eve 
Presumed Upon Their Creator's Great Love For Them
To Save Them From Their Great Disobedience: 
It Didn't 
And 
We Are Living Out The Results Of Their Sin! 

Our Faith Claims God's Promises 
And 
Obeys His Word 
And 
Does His Will! 

Our Presumption Claims The Promises
Expects The Gifts
And 
Deliberately Disobeys God 
Daring Him To Protect Us From Our Own Folly!

We Should Not Tempt Almighty God! 

We Need To Be Faithful To Be Blessed! 

Let's Think Straight
To Be Wise ...

If Stepping Out In Faith
Is 
To Step Into The Unknown
And
You Are Sacrificially Loved And Blessed By
And
Personally Know 
And
Are Personally Known By 
The One God Holy Who Makes The Unknown, Known
And
Who Has Promised In His Own Blood
To Never Leave You Nor Forsake You
How Can Your Stepping Out In Faith 
Be Stepping Into The Unknown!?!

He Has Said Via The Inspired Word:





As Christians, We Are Asked, Called
To Live By Faith ... Not By Presumptuous Sight!
We Are Called To Trust 
In The Unseen, Holy, Eternal
Faithful, Just, Kind, Merciful
Giving, Forgiving
Saving, Healing
Sealing, Revealing
Blessing ... All-Knowing
All-Seeing, Ever-Present
All-Feeling Creator, Redeemer, Friend-To-The-End
God Of Grace
Our Provider And Sustainer!

Since Our God Is
And
Is Real
Having Been To See Us
And
To Show Us The Way To Live To Be Blessed
And
Revealed The Right Way To Pray
And
Having Died To Save Us
Still Lives
And
Is Presently Interceding
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
Is Soon To Return ... He Promised
For A People ... His People
Prepared And Ready To Go To His Home
Where He Has, Is Preparing, Places For Them
Why Would We Choose ... It Is A Choice
To Doubt Him At His Living And Preserved Word
Which Is A Transcript Of 
His Holy, Unchanging, Character!?!

His Mercies Showered Upon Us
Are New Every Morning!

The Lord God Almighty
Cares For All Of His Creatures
But
We Are Special:

We Are The Only Ones
Who Are Made In His Image
After His Likeness
And
We Are The Only Ones
Who Have Sinned Against His Holy Name
And
We Are The Only Ones
The Only Created Beings
For Whom ... In Sacrificial Love
He Willingly Bled 
And
Died To Save
Because
His Holy Love
Could Not ... Cannot ... Let Us Go To Damnation!

Soooo, What's With The Doubt Thingie!?!

You Just Made My Point! 

Huh!?! How!?! 

You Clearly Said: "Doubt Thingie! "
That's Like Thingamabob, Thingamajig, A Whatever
Not Worthy Of Its True Handle
It's Real Name! 

I Didn't Mean Anything By It! 
It's Just An Expression! 

Oh, Really!?!
How's About We Don't Call Sin
By Its First And Last Name
And Just Call It Cheese Danish
Chocolate Eclair
Apple Butter!?! 

You Can't Do That! 

And Why Not, Pray Tell!?! 

That Would Be Denigrating
The Holy Word Of God
And Giving Sinners Needing The Savior 
The Foolish Belief That Sin Ain't No Big Deal! 
Just Eat It ... And Get On About
Your Own Business! 
It Ain't No Biggie! 

That's Sliding Down A Slippery Slope! 

Yeah! 
One Gentle Push
And Off To Hell You Go! 

Oh, Dear! 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves!

We Need To Confess And Repent Of Our Sin!
We Need To Have Contrite Hearts
And
We Need, Now, Today
From Known Sin To Aggressively Depart!
Doubting Damns So From Doubting We Must Depart!

Jesus Christ Saves ... To The Uttermost!


Know The Right ...


By Faith
No Sin Is Too Low To Confess
No Sorrow Too Great For His Comfort!
No Need Is Too Broad For Satisfaction
And
No Hope Is Too Far-Fetched To Fulfil
According To His Will
Because
Jesus Christ Says That
We Are His Own By Creation
And
By Redemption
And
That We Do Not Travel In This Dark World Alone!

Jesus Christ The King Calls!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Answers!
Jesus Christ The Redeemer ... Saves!
The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides And Comforts
And
The Holy Angels Surround And Protect
And
Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right! 

We Should Dare To Be Bold
On This Pilgrim Journey! 
Our God Is Real, Reigning, And Returning! 
Our Savior Is Righteous And Redeeming! 
Our Redeemer Is Revealing And Sealing! 
Our Creator Is Providing And Sustaining! 
Our Shepherd Is Leading And Feeding! 
The Lord Christ ... Prince Shiloh
Is 
Our Perfect Peace! 

Brethren,

Salvation By Faith Is Personal
So I Speak For Myself
And 
With The Attitude Of The Saints
Who Have Gone To Their Rest:

My God Is Real! 
Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him! 
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
And 
If Almighty God Is For Me
Who Could Be Against Me!?! 

Before His Glorious Throne Of Grace

Let Us, In Working, Waiting, Watching, Faith
Humbly, Expectantly, Enduringly
Kneel Before Our Maker And Our God Eternal!

Jesus Christ Promised Me A Home In His Father's House
And
By His Grace
I Intend To Collect My Deed! 

We Have Choices To Make:

Feed On Foolishness From The Fiend And Fry

Or

Eat From The Hand Of The Shepherd Of Rest
And
In The Appointed Day ... With Him Leading
To Hill Zion Fly! 

Believe And Live! 

Doubt And Die! 

I'm Heading To The Sweet By And By!

Common Good ... For Whom!?!

Truth, Beauty, Goodness
Gifts To Man ... From The Eternal God
Unguarded, Unprotected, Ignored
Become Weapons In The Arsenal Of Wicked Satan
He Who Desires Our Worship
He Who Desires To Be Our One God!

Interreligious Dialog Was Boasting
Boasting Of His Goodness To All Men
And
Boldly Denying That His Real Character
Is 
Ecumenism
And
Not As The Bible Requires:

Separation Of Light And Darkness
No Idolatry Aka Image Worship
No Man Worship
And
No Cooperation Aka Fellowship
With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness
As Found In Ephesians Chapter 5 Verse 11!






Interreligious Dialog 
Is
A Sneak Thief
Promising Always The Common Good
A Known Catholic Social Teaching
Having Always A Fallen Man Leading
Demanding To Stand In Our Hearts
Where Our Lord Jesus Should Ever Be
Working To Bless Us Spiritually
Working To Bless Us
For Our Eternal Good!
Was It He Who On The Cross Of Stood!?!

No Man Can Do Good In Place Of Christ Jesus!
No Man Can Make Man A God In Jesus Christ's Stead!
No Man Can Do For Man What The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Is
Plainly Stated By The Word Of The Lord To Do
And
No Man Saying That He Is God On Earth
Can Do Anything Close To Good To Bless
Or To Prosper And Eternally Save Me Or You!

Truth ... Is!
Man Is ... A Liar!
Satan Is ... The Father Of Lies!
There Is No Light In Satan!
Jesus Christ Blesses!
Jesus Christ Is The Light Of The World!
Jesus Christ Is Truth!
Jesus Christ Is Almighty God!
And
Satan Is The God-Fraud!

Truth Blesses
Lies Blight
And
All Of The Commingling 
The Mixing Of Light And Darkness
Truth And Lies
Blessing And Blight
Cannot The God Of Glory Delight!

Satan Laughs At Our Folly!
Satan Delights In Our Fleeing True Light!
Satan Loves That He Has Us Doubting
And
Doing Those Things
Which Will See Us Being Cast Into Outer Darkness
Where There Is Never, Ever, Heavenly Light!

Truth Is Beautiful!
Truth Is Good!
Good Is Beautiful
And, Truth Is
Our God Holy Is Truth
And
Beautifully, Truthfully, Always Good!

Any "Good" That Requires Man To Give Man
His Personal Will 
And 
His God-Given Personal, Free, Choice
By Coercion
By Force
By Denying His Right To Live
Is
The Work Of The Devil
As Evidenced Through Religious History
And
As Warned About In The Good New Gospel Story!

The Lord God Almighty
Has Already Given Into Our Hands
That That Is For The Common Good:


Do Good
Love God
And
Serve Your Fellow Man

But

Never Under Duress
Never Under Stress!

The Lord Christ Forces No Man To Love Him!
The Lord Christ Forces No Man His Word To Obey!
The Lord Christ Gives Unto Each Man
Free Will
And 
Free Choice
And
The Lord God Almighty
- Creator, Redeemer, Savior, Provider
Hope, Help, Sustainer -
Abides With Man's Free Choice:


Man Has In His Hand
The Right ... From Soul Salvation
To Walk Away
No Matter What Those Indulging
Lying Priest-Craft

Emotionally, Grand-Fatherly Say! 

Common Good Does Not With A Full Deck
Nor An Honest Deck
Choose Ever To Play!
Common Good Takes From Man 
What Almighty God Says Cannot Be Given Away
And
Ignores Boldly, Brazenly That 
Soon Comes The Unmissable Judgment Day
When For Things Done In The Flesh
Every, Single Man ... Individually
Must Give An Accounting!
Man Unrepentant Must, At That Time
And
For Himself
For His Own Personal Sin
With Full Cost ... No Discount
Pay!
For The Saved
The Redeemed Of Christ And God
It Will Be A Grand And Glorious Day! 

Brethren,

For The Common Good
Is
What Jesus Christ ... Not Known To Stutter ... Says!

Have You Considered ...?!

Have We Considered
Carefully
- Honestly -
That Jesus Christ Is
Creator
Savior
Shepherd
Redeemer
Anchor
Rock
Covert
Healer
Sealer
Revealer
Sustainer
Lord
King
Friend
Hope
Help
Way
Truth
Light
Door
Wonderful Counsellor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince Of Peace
Surety
And
Security?!

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Holds The World
In His Hand
Also Holds Your Hand In His Hand ... Gently?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Hears All The Prayers
Of Every Single Faithful Soul
Knows Your Name Personally
And 
Listens Personally To Your Prayers Avidly?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That As A True Believer
- Trusting Obedient enduring And Faithful -
Regenerated By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
That The Eternal God Has To Take Care Of You
And 
Cannot Let You Fail?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That If Letting You Die Suddenly
Or Permitting You To Languish In Illness
Will Save Your Soul
That That Is What Will Happen To You?! 

You Can't Prove That!
Where Are Your Two Or Three Witnesses?!

Can, Too!

Almighty God's Servant, Job: 




Apostle Paul:






King David:






John The Revelator:





Oh! Never Mind!

Whatever Happens To Us In This Flesh
Jesus Christ Is Our Certain Hope
Our Sure Help
Our Only True Way Of Escape
And
Our Perfect Solace
So We May Rest Easy And In Peace In His Love!

So, What You Are Saying Is
Look Up And Not In!

In A Nutshell, Yes!

Jesus Christ's Death Is Our Reconciliation
And
Jesus Christ's Life Is Our Salvation
So, Bless The Ever-Living God
Ye Peoples Of The Nations
And
Praise The God Of Creation! 









Dwell Not Upon What You Carnal Eyes See
Your Carnal Ears Hearing
And
Your Carnal Body Is Feeling And Experiencing
In The Here And The Now
But, Instead
Dwell Upon What The Living God Has Done
And
Is Doing For Your Purchased Soul
And
Is Making Ready
For
Your Eternal Blessing
In The Land Where We Shall Never Grow Old!

HAPPY SABBATH: When Doubt Meets Faith!?!




Well, Sister
I Am Very Sorry To Hear You Say That!
Personally, I Have Temporary Problems
Because
Praise The Living God For Present Grace
And
Soon To Come Glory
I Have The Almighty God Holy And True
In The Person Of The Lord Jesus Christ Who Is Also God Eternal
Who Bought Me And Paid The Infinite Price
To Assure Me Of Peace And Rest
Forgiveness Salvation
Daily Grace
Daily Faith
And
Always Free Mercy!

As Long As I Can See My Jesus
I Can Be At Peace
Because
I Know That That Immense Gift
- The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
Will Comfort Me In Difficulties
Guide Me On Right Paths
Chide Me When I Am Not Walking Right
And
My Being Willing
Get Me Safely Home
To The Mansions Of Heavenly Rest
In Beulah Land
The Eternal Home Of The Enduring-All-Things
Through-The-Faith-Of-Jesus Believers Blessed! 

I Can't Beat Almighty's God Giving!
I Can't Beat Back Almighty God's Blessings
And
I Won't Send Back Almighty God's Love For Me
Because
I Intend To Bask In His Love For All Eternity!

But, Wait
Lemme Ask You Something:
How Come We Go To The Same Church
Sit Under The Same Pastor
Read From The Holy Bible
And Have Such Different Outcomes!?!
It Seems To Me That 
You Know Some Things That I Don't Know!?! 

Are You A Hearer Or A Doer
Or A Hearer And A Doer Of The Living Word!?!

I Didn't Know There Was A Difference!

Are You A Believer Who Indulges Sinful Doubt
Or
A Sinner Who Chooses
- Despite The World's Enunciated Promulgated Doubts - 
To Be A Humble Faithful Willing Believer!?!

Oh, Dear! Ohhhhh, Dear!

Do You Live By Faith
Or
Do You, Like The Deceitful World
Choose To, Against All The Evidence To The Contrary
Live By Lying Eye-Sight!?!

Oh, Lord! Ohhhhh, Lord!

Do You Believe A Dying Man's Word
Or
Do You Believe The Living God-Man Who Is The Word!?!

Dear, Lord And Father Of My Kind!!!
Forgive Me My Foolish Ways!
I've Always Trusted My Eyes, My Ears, My Deceitful Heart
And I Am Listing In The Sea Of Sin
And Can't Seem To Find The Way The Ocean Of Doubt To Get Out!
Please Hear Me And Please Help Me!
This Is My Contrite Heart's Pray!

Sister,
Please Have Faith: It's Free!
Savor The Living Word: Choose To Believe! 
If You Are Seeking To Have Every Doubt Set Aside
Rest Assured
You Will Find Many More Reasons To Doubt The Living God
Walking Boldly By Your Side
Staring You Insolently In Your Face
Opening Your Front Door
Fighting You For A Seat In Your Best Comfy Chair
Taking You Favorite Dinner Right Out Of Your Hand
Sprawling Out On Your Sweet-Smelling Bed
Nailed Down On Your Porcelain Princess ...!

But, Wait!?!
How Come You So Nosy Getting All Up In My Life So!?!

Girl, I Lived Your Life!
The Difference Between Conflict And Courage Is Having
A Nice Comfortable Tasty Slice Of Jesus Christ's Daily-Faith Cake
Or
Engorging Your Sinful Self On A 12-Inch Round Pan Of 
Sight-Of-The-Eyes Doubter's Delight Cake
Which
- Surprise, Surprise -
Has No Known End ...! 

... I Know That For A Fact!
There's Always One, One, One. Slice. More!

The Word Says:
Have Faith... !!!
(Don't Look Back)! 
Trust God ...!!!
(Walk In Faith)! 
Believe ... And Live ... With God!!!
(Hold On To The High And Holy Hand
Extended Lovingly Toward You!) 

Hon, 
The God We Believe In
Will Never, Ever, Grab Your Hand
Tune Your Ears
Set Your Feet
Nor Fix Your Eyes
Until
You Grab Hold Of His Already Extended-To-You Hand
And
Turn Your Ears
Point Your Feet
And
Lift Up Your Eyes To Him! 

Almighty God
- Through Jesus Christ Our Savior Lord And King -
Has Made The First And The Last(ING) Move!
Our Task
Should We CHOOSE To Accept It
Is 
To Hear The Word And Choose To Believe It
Believe The Word Of God And Walk In Faith
Accept The Blessing Of Daily Receipts Of Faith
And
Faithfully Look To AKA Depend Upon OUR Jesus
The Author And Finisher Of OUR Faith
Who Has Made The Way Clear For Us!

Think Of Water ... Which Finds Its Own Level
And
Think Of Terra Firma Rock ... Moved And Or Marked By The Water's Action! 

Let's Call Jesus, The Water ... Of Life!
Let's Call You, Sister, Terra Firma Rock
Able To Be Impacted By The Water Of Life!
Life Of Sin Is A River Bed Where You Reside! 

Water Of Life Touches Terra Firm Rock Constantly!
You Have, By God-Given Right
Choices Chances
Free Will And Free Way!
You Are Self-Aware!
You Are, Also, By Nature Of Sin, Selfish! 

You Can Let The Water Of Life Permeate Your Hard Shell
And
Make A Mark
Mark You Out
Cut You Away
Move You Onward And Upward
From Sin Draw You, Not Push You, Away

OR

You Can Be Impacted By The Water Of Life
Hear Where It Will Lead
See What It Can
Enjoy The Present Perks Of Daily Interaction
But
Stubbornly Remain Unmoved! 

What About If I Didn't Make A Decision!?! 

Sweetie, Let Me Tell You What My King James Tell's Me:

If You're Not Planting With Jesus Christ
You Are Against Him! 
Now Now, Now Is The Of Salvation! 
Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man, Woman Or Child ... Look Around You! 
Faith Is The Victory That Overcomes The World!
Nothing, Absolutely Nothing, Can Separate Us From Jesus!
Jesus Christ Loves Me, Personally, Sacrificially! 
Jesus Died To Save Us All
But
He Can Only Save One Person Aka
The One Person Who CHOOSES To Believe That 
Jesus Christ Saves!

Jesus Christ Only Saves Individuals!
He Can't Save A Family
A Country
A City
A Town
A Church
A Congregation
But
He Will Save The Individuals In Those Settings
Who Individually Set Aside Self Sin Doubt
And
Choose Jesus Christ's Love
His Freely-Available Gift Of Daily Faith 
And
His Free-To-All Salvation! 

You Make It Sound So Easy! 

It Is! 

If It Is So, Why Is There Plaguing Doubt!?!

Do You Remember 
The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil!?!

Yes, I Do!
Do You Also Remember The Tree Of Life!?! 

I Sure Do!

Do You Remember Jesus Christ's Charge To Adam And Eve!?! 

Stay Away From The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil 
Or You Will Die!

What I Don't Understand Is
If They Had The Tree Of Life
Why Did He Have To Put The Tree Of
The Knowledge Of Good And Evil There As Well!?! 

It Was For A Test Of Faith! 
Don't Forget That There Had Already Been 
A Rebellion In Heaven 
And 
It Was Necessary For This New Creature
- Made A Little Lower Than The Angels -
To Prove His Allegiance!

The Same Is True For Today! 
The Difference Is The Trees Are Called 
Faith And Doubt!

Adam And Eve Were Never Meant To Have 
The Knowledge Of Evil!
The Tree Of Life Gives Unto Us
Every Good And Perfect Gift
Which Comes Down From The Father Of Lights 
In Whom Is No Variableness
Neither Shadow Of Turning ...! 

... I Just Remembered That He Said:

I Am The Lord: I Change Not!
The Lord: The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever ...!

... Call On Me AND ...! 

... I Will Show You Great And Glorious Things
Which Thou Knowest Not! 

I Am The Lord: Is There Anything Too Hard For Me!?! 

The Lord Is My Shepherd: I Shall Not Want! 

The Lord Is Our Refuge And Strength: 
A Very Present Help In Times Of Trouble! 

... But Thou, Oh, Lord, Art A Shield For Me: 
My Glory And The Lifter Up Of My Head! 

Whom Seekest Thou!?!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Lord
The Holy God:
My Creator
My God 
My King 
My Salvation 
My Redeemer
My Only Savior
My True Friend!?! 

What Doest Thou!?! 

As For Me And My House
We Will Serve The Lord! 

What Your Doubt!?! 

It Is No Longer My Doubt! 
Doubt - Like Satan - Is Damned!
I Have Made My Choice! 
I'll No Longer Be A Wave Of The Sea
Driven And Tossed By Every Storm Wind!
My Soul Is Anchored In The Lord
And I Stand Against Satan The Fraud! 
I'm Now Truly Aware Of His Devices 
And I'm Giving To The Lord
My Self
My Will
My Way
My Choices
I've Invested In Him All My Chances! 

Jesus Christ IS Now Totally Responsible For Me
Because From Here On In
I've Divested My Soul Of
Lying Doubts' Destructive Debilitating
Good-For-Nothing Coming! 

I've Learnt Something Today!
It Pays To Converse With The True People Of The Book

Give The Lord His Glory! 
He IS The Book! 

What In Earth Do You Mean!?! 

The Preserved Word Of Our King James Bible
Is
The Transcript Of The Eternal Holy God's Character! 
If You Take Away From The Good Book
You Minimize Almighty God And Curse Your Self!
If You Add To The Good Book
You Elevate What Has No Elevator 
And You Are Found To Be A Liar
And You Curse Yourself
And You Lose All Your Blessings!


Father, 
In The Name Of The Beloved Jesus
Have Mercy, Please, On All Of Us!
AMEN!!!


I'm Glad We Had This Time To Talk! 

If You Want To Talk Some More
Come And Have Dinner At My House! 

Will Our Jesus Be There!?!

In Spirit, My Dear! In Spirit!

Where Two Or Three Or Gathered Together In My Name!?! 

Indeed! 

Let's Go!
