Deliverance Is Just A Prayer Away!







Salvation Has Been Brought Down!
Deliverance 
Is 
Just A Prayer Away! 

The Good Book Doesn't Lie 
And
Neither Does The Living Loving Good God 
About Whom The Good Book Speaks! 

Beloved, 

All Of Almighty God's Promises Are Conditional! 

We Cannot Expect To Call Upon The Lord To Deliver Us 
When We Are Presumptuously Down In Babylon
In Known Confusion
Belly-Up To The Flesh-Pots
Drinking, Swearing
Basely Bowing Before Inanimate Idols 
Taking The Lord's Name In Vain 
Committing Murder With Our Mouths And Hands
Being False-Oath Takers
Coveting The Husbands, Wives, And Property Of Our Neighbors 
And 
Calling The Living God A Liar 
By Doubting His True Promise Of Forgiveness 
For Our Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Our Sin Is Not Bigger Than Almighty God's Capacity 
To Forgive And Cleanse 
So Accept What The Lord Has Already Given 
And
Turn Back From Condemned Babylon! 

Our God Calls: Answer! 
Our God Forgives: Accept! 
Our God Blesses: Believe! 

You're Human: 
Don't Use It As A Cloak For Sin! 

Our God Is Able 
So Rest In His Arms 
On His Word 
According To His Will 
And
In His Prescribed Way! 

Reach For The Extended Hand 
And 
Be At Peace! 

The Lord Knows Your Name
And
He Forgives 
And 
Cleanses You Of Your Sin And Shame 
After You Fulfill Your Obligation! 

Love The Lover Of Your Soul Solely 
And
Proclaim His Great Goodness To You Boldly! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Follow-Pattern Killed Cadogan: Faith In The Lord Is Precious Seed!

 









FACT: 

Faith ... Not Feeling
Is 
Precious Seed 
Which Bears Good Fruit To Abundant Harvest! 

Are You Indulging 
Infidelity Toward The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Which Cannot Fail!?! 

Are You Waxing Bold 
And 
Daringly Indulging In Questioning
Doubting
And 
Criticizing The Living Word Of The Eternal God!?! 

Aren't You Afraid!?! 

When We Were Young
There Were Those Amongst Us 
Who Often Heard The Condemning Words 

"You Would Criticize The Very Dead!"
 
"You Would Take The Lord God Off His Throne 
If You Could!" 

Beloved, 

This Is A Nasty State Of Affairs 
With Which To Become Participant! 

There Is One Living God
One Holy Faith
And 
One True Baptism 
Which Washes Us Willing-Ones Clean 
From Every Sin! 

Ponder This ...

How Is It Possible That 
Any Of Us Finite, Known-Dying, Creatures 
Could Raise Up Altars To The False Gods Of 
Higher Criticism
Scientific Advancement
Financial Acumen
Entertainment Wizardry
And 
Sensual Fulfillment

And 

Call Our Creator A Liar 
And 
The Absentee Landlord
When ... Without Him
There Is Not Anything That We Can Do
To Even Help Or Save Ourselves  ... Or Another!?! 

Presumption Is A Sin!

Don't Tempt The Lord!

Dear Ones, 

Anything Outside Of Faith 
Is 
Sin 
And 
If We Choose To Doubt The Lord In One Thing
We Will Choose To Lose Faith In Him In Everything! 

One Foot-Fall ... One Wheel-Turn ... Starts The Journey: 
Where To Are You Headed!?! 

Old Wisdom:

Follow-Pattern Killed Cadogan! 

Translation:

Please Think For Yourself
And 
Don't Follow The Multitude To Do Evil
Because
What Sweetened Their Mouth
Might Very Well Kill You! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Satan The Damned 
The Originator Of Doubt
Is 
The Blasphemous Liar
Who From Glorious Heaven
Was Unceremoniously Kicked Out! 

Doubt Decimates! 
Truth Elevates! 
Don't Pontificate! 
Let The Living Word Of The Eternal God
Your Mind Educate! 

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise, Faith: 
Only Jesus Christ, The Living God, Saves! 
Exercise Faith
And
Don't Procrastinate! 

Peace!

The Truth Is
And
Faith Will!

Are You Proudly Serving Yourself Or Humbly Serving The Savior!?!







The Proud, Presumptuous, Heart 
Will Never Be Humble  ... Or Humble Enough 
To Give In To The Desire To Respect Others 
And 
Their Rights! 

How, Then, Could A Proud Known Self-Serving Person 
Be A True Christ Follower!?! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Great And Glorious Example
Was Meek And Lowly Of Heart
And 
We Are Told ... Cautioned ... That 
Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law! 

Beloved, 

Pride 
Is 
A Devilish Trait Of Character 
And 
Presumption
- Acting With Fore-Knowledge And Malicious Intent - 
Is 
Simply Bold, Heaven-Daring, Sinning 
With Mere Men, Women And Children 
Acting As Their Own God: 
The True And Eternal God 
Is 
Lowered To The Status Of A Despised Servant! 

The Proud Heart 
Is 
Its Own God
So, Therefore, A Proud Christian 
And 
A Presumptuous Saint Are Fallacies 
And 
All Of Us Who Are Students Of The School Of Jesus
And 
Of The Family Of God
Presently Striving For The Mastery Of Self 
To Gain The Victory Over Sin 
And 
Escape The Clutches Of Satan
Seriously Need To Return To The Basics: 
Jesus Christ First! 
Truth First! 
Light First! 
The Way First 
Aka Jesus Christ First, Last 
And
Always! 

Truth Frees ... 

Self Is A Sinner: 
The Savior Is Our Sure And Secure Salvation! 

Humility Elevates: 
Pride Decimates! 

Be Wise For Yourself ...

Check Your Attitude: 
Dare To Follow The Book
And
Clean Out To Climb Up! 

Dare To Live In Godly Fear! 
Serving Others Is Not A Bug-Bear! 



Self-Serving Doesn't Serve Self
Because
It Superbly Serves Satan!

FORGIVENESS: To Err Is Human!







Held Hate
Holds
Human Health Hostage! 

It Should Not Surprise Us 
To Know That Holding Grudges 
And 
Malice Against Others In Our Hearts 
Grossly Affects Our Personal Health And Well-Being! 

Emotional Sickness Manifests Itself Physically 
And 
Jesus Christ Showed This Truth 
When He Healed The Man Sick With Palsy! 
The Man's Heart Was Sore! 
He Needed Forgiveness More Than Physical Healing! 

The Lord's Prayer Asks To Forgive Our Debts 
As We Forgive Our Debtors! 
When We Forgive ... Even Ourselves
We Are Forgiven! 

Are You Almighty God That 
You Refuse Forgiveness To Your Self And Another!?! 
If You Act As Though You Are Almighty God
Then You Are A False God 
And
In Direct Opposition To The Eternal God 
And
You Shall Perish In 
And
For Your Sin! 

We, Human ... Mortals ... Are Frail, Fragile, Creatures
And 
It Does Not Take A Lot To Turn Our Lives Upside Down 
So Think Carefully
And 
Act Wisely! 

A Peaceful Night's Sleep 
Is 
A Blessed Gift Of The Eternal God Not To Be Despised! 

Take TheAlmighty God's Forgiveness 
By Being Forgiving To Others
Because
We Ain't All That 
That We Should Puff Up With Pride 
And 
Pointedly Point At Others And Say: 

"Looka Dem!" 

To Err Is Human! 
Forgiveness Is Divine! 
Try It!

Let The Master Teacher Enter In!

People, People!
Let's Keep Our Focus!
All That's Required Comes From Three Little Words!

Everybody Knows The Three Words:

Do-Good Ain't Always-Right!

Love Your Brother!
Share Your Faith!
Live In Peace!
Walk In Truth!
Be The Light!
Love The Lord!
Spread The Gospel!
Should I Continue!?!

No, Thank You!
You Sounded Awfully Bored In Your Delivery!

Oh, I Was!

We Hear The Same Thing Every. Single. Week.
I Could Do With A Change!

Sinclair!
It's Official!
You're My New Favorite!
I've Got The Change You're Looking For
And
The Change We All Desperately Need!

Brethren,
Our Three Little Words
New, Needed And Necessary
Are ... Drum Roll, Please:


Confess!
Repent!
Obey!

You Had To Go There!
You Just Had To Go There!

Why Did You Have To Go There ...?!?

... Because The Lord Gives Us Freely Of 
Grace, Mercy And Love
And
We, Being Faithful Servants
Good Children
And
Attentive Students
Need To Give The Lord Our Gifts Of
Confession, Repentance And Willing Obedience!

A Good Christian With Unconfessed Sin
Is 
As Profitable  ... As Useful
As Bound For Glory As ... As ... A ...!

... As An Unrepentant Sinner!

He Ain't Ever Going To Glory 
With Jesus Christ The Lord!

Oh, Sinclair!
You've Just Proved Why You're My Favorite Today!

Jesus Doesn't Have Favorites!

Jesus Also Doesn't Have Any Sin!
What's Your Point!?!

Just Once! Just Once!

Just Once What!?!

Just Once 

I'd Like To Have The Last Word Against You!

That's Easy!
Say Something Amazing To Shut Me Up!
Blow My Mind ... And Close My Mouth!

Father, You Heard Him!

To Be Serious, Rainey, We Are Not In Competition!
We're Searching For Hidden Treasure!
We're Searching For His Truth
So Let Us Cooperate With His Spirit
And
I'm Sure That We'd All Have A Nugget Of Gold
With The Brethren To Share!



Father,
Please Open The Young Lady's Eyes

And
Bring Your Saving Truth Into Her View
And
Remember Us All, Also
For We're Listening, Lord, To You!
Let The Class Begin!
Let The Master Teacher Enter In!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, We Plead!
AMEN!!!


Beloved,

Our Biggest Crime 
Against Our Own Souls
And
Against Our Holy God
Is
Our Indulging In Self-Deception!
Self-Deception Does Not Negate
Our Need For Willing Obedience To The Lord!

Take Heed ...

Have A Look In The Mirror 
And 
See Your Face!
Have A Look In The Word Of God 
And 
See Your Living Condition: 
Your Known Disgrace!

We Receive Information From Both Sources 

About Which We Must Make Actionable Decisions! 
Choose Well!
Choose Wisely!
And
Earmark For Yourself In Heaven A Place!


The Problem Is That 
Neither Of These Disclosing Agents 

Will Do The Necessary Work For Us 
To Clean A Dirty Face
Or Reform ... Change ... A Sinful Life! 

We Are God's Most Intelligent Creatures On Earth 

Who Have Free Will ... Free Choice
Able To Take Knowledge 
And 
By Wisdom From On High
Use Understanding To Gain Profitable Outcomes!

The Bible 
Is 
A Work-Book

Not A Fairy Tale Story Book
So Get Your Pencil 
And 
Get To Doing The Work! 

For Mistakes Made ... For Known Sin
The Contrite Heart's Prayer Of Confession 
And 
Repentance 
Is 
Your Eraser: Use It Liberally! 

AMEN!!!

May I Add Something, Please!?!

Of Course, Rainey!

Brethren,
Just Because We Can Confess And Repent
Of Our Known Sin
Let Us Not Use The Promise Of 
Our Father's Forgiveness
As An Open Pass To Indulge In 
The Sin Of Presumption!
Confession And Repentance Are Not Licenses
To Indulge In Folly!
Obedience Is A Shield!

Rainey,
Thank You, Kindly, For That Final Word!
There Is Nothing More To Add!

SIN OF PRESUMPTION: Covetousness




Covetousness Is Presumption! 

There Is The Old Saying:

Covetousness Is A Curse
And
Licorishness Makes It Worst!

There Is The Word Of God:






Covetousness Is Idolatry
And No Idolater Nor Covetous Person
Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God!

The Lord Has Made It Abundantly Clear That
He Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake
And
That He Will Provide For Us
According To His Riches In Glory!

I Ask Us All:

Where Is The Faith, The Hope, The Trust!?!
Why Are We Christians Indulging In Worldly Lust!?!

We Need To Recognize, Brethren
That There Is Good Lust
And There Is Bad 
And
We Need To Know The Difference
And
Practice That Which Will Cause Our Savior
Over Our Decision To Be Glad!

Brother Billy, 
I Don't Understand How Covetousness 
Could Be Both Good And Bad
When The Word Says That
You Can't Get Sweet Water And Bitter Water From The Same Souce
With The Apostle James Also Stating That
Blessing And Cursing Shouldn't Come From The Same Tongue!

Very Good Points, Danette!
Let's Figure This Out Together!

Achan Coveted Forbidden Gold
Silver And A Babylonish AKA Worldly Garment!
Was This Good!?!

That Was Very Bad! 
He Caused The Unnecessary Deaths Of God's People
And He Lost The Goods Coveted And His Own Life!

Prophet Balaam Coveted King Balaam's Treasure 
Even Though It Was The Forbidden Reward 
For Doing A Disobedient Work!
Good Or Bad!

Bad! Real Bad!
His Wickedness Cost 24,000 People Their Lives Up Front
And For His Trouble
Both He And His Evil Paymaster 
Perished In War Against Their Despised Targets!

Are We Learning Anything Yet!?!

I Know That I Am:
Covetousness Doesn't Profit!

Well Said!

Those Were Old Testament Cases!
Now We Shall See If The Law Of God Has Changed
And
"Made" New Testament Covetousness A "Baptised-Good" Thing!

Let's Consider The Close Companion Of Christ
The Bag Man Aka Accountant
Aka In-house Thief, Judas Iscariot
The Betrayer!

Judas Coveted Perishable Silver
And Sold Out Eternal Gold
To Get What He Could, Would, Never Spend ...!

... This Was Bad, Bad, Bad!
10,000 Times Bad ... And Inordinately Foolish!
He Lived With God In The Flesh
And Still Said There Was No God
By Believing That He, A Mere Man
Could Set, As In Direct, The Lord's Calendar
Life And Times!

Very True!
This Brings Us To ...!

... I Know! I Know!
Ananias And His Confederate Wife, Sapphira!
Those Two Lied To The Holy Spirit
And Those Two Swiftly Died For Their Lies!

Indeed!
Theirs Was Folly Of The Highest Order!
They Were Coveting The Praise Of Man
Over A Gift That They Freely Chose To Give To God
To Get The Praise Of Men
For A Gift They Gave To God With One Hand
And 
Blithely Took Back With The Other!

Just Hearing You Say That Is Twisting My Tongue!

Sincerity Before God Is A Serious Business!

Now That We Know What Bad Covetousness Is
What Would You Say Is Good To Covet!?! 

The Things Of God
Things That Don't Perish ...!

... Things That Elevate Us And Draw Us Closer To Christ!

Prophesying ... Teaching The Word
Being Blessed To Bless Others ... In Jesus' Holy Name
And Seeking After Skills Or Gifts 
To Be Used To Enhance The Work Of Spreading The Good News

Covetousness Was Introduced Into Heaven By Satan
And
Promulgated And Practiced On Earth
And
It Shall Be Terminated By Jesus Christ The King
When He Shall Cast All Its Adherents 
Into Hell At The Third Coming
When He Will Deal With Those Who Get Up
At The Second Resurrection
Those Whose Names Are Not Found Recorded
In The Lamb's Book Of Life!

Brethren, 

The Choice ... As Always
Is 
Personally Each Man's Own
No Force
No Coercion!
We, Each, Must Choose To Believe ... Or Not
That The Lord ... The Word Made Flesh
Is 
True And Faithful
Ever Keeping His Word Of Promise!
There Is No Straddling The Fence!
Believe ... Or Doubt
But Don't Ever Waffle!

Believers Are Blessed!
Doubters Minds May Change!
Wafflers Are Neither Coming Nor Going
And As Such
Are Good Only For The Burn Box!
They Are Double-Minded ... Unstable
Therefore ... Unprofitable
Useless 
Condemned 
Damned!

The Lord Can Relieve Honest Doubts
If We Are Willing To Be Convinced!


Think About It:


Image result for psalm 19:13 kjv

Presumptuous Sin Is Deadly, Twice! 

You, A Mere Mortal, Being Willfully Disobedient
Tempt Almighty God 
By Demanding He Save You From The Folly Of Doing 
What He Didn't Ask 
And
You Act As God
Demanding The Real God Do What You Command! 

Disobedience Is As Witchcraft, A Sin
And 
Acting As God Is Idolatry ... False Worship
Which Is Also A Sin! 
Covetousness Is Also Idolatry! 

We Are To Have Total Faith And Trust In God 
And 
We're Never To Test ... Tempt ... Almighty God 
In A Foolish Effort To Prove His Faithfulness! 

Satan Tried This On Jesus! 
Jesus Christ The Lord ... Our God Holy
Put Satan In His Place With The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Please Don't Let The Lust Of Your Flesh 
Incite You To Offend The Almighty 
And 
Sin Against Your Own Soul! 

The Lord Has Given Us His Holy Law 
And 
He Has Given Us His Promise Of Care: 
For All Your Needs
Let These Be Sufficient!

Repentance ... In Advance!?!







How Can You Be Sorry
For Doing Something That
You Have Not Yet Done!?!
And
Pray Tell Why Were You Offering Repentance Before-Hand
And 

Then Committing Sin!?!

Did You Really Believe That The Living God Holy
Was, Is, Going To Accept Your Putrid Offering!?!

Look, Just In Case You Have Not Been Told
Nor Are You Aware
Your Pre-Performance Repentance For What Is Known Sin
Is 

The Sin Called Presumption
And
The God Of All Grace Will Not Accept
Your Not-A-Gift
And 

You Will Have An Unrepented Of Sin On Your Record
In Your Hands!

That Was Extraordinarily Foolish!

It Sounded Cute!
I Thought It Was Cute!
I Wanted To Do My Own Thing
But I Didn't Want To Offend The Lord Outright
So I Decided To Go For The Two-For-One
You Know, The BOGO
Buy One Get One Free Or At A Great Discount ...!

... You Simply Cannot Be For Real!
You Have Surely Lost Your Mind!


Do You Really Believe That
You And The Living God Are Street-Hustling Partners
So That You Can Dishonor Him
With Your Philosophical Garbage
And 

He'd Be Eternally Grateful 
For Your Smelly Contribution!?!
What Were You Thinking!?!

I Wasn't!

Do You Realize That You Could Have Died Out There
And
In One Fell Swoop
You Would Have Been Lost 
To The Kingdom Of Christ ... Forever!?!

I Wasn't Thinking ...!
... I Wanted To Be Just Like Everybody Else
One Last Time ...!

... You Were Almost A Corpse ... Like Nobody Else!

Please Don't Say That!

I Did, And It Stands!
Was Your Foray In Fun Really Worth This Outcome!?!
Look At Yourself!
Body Brace, Shoulder Brace
Elbow Braces, Wrist Braces
Knee Brace, Eye-Patch

And
All Just For A Cheap Thrill!?!

I Did It!
It's Done!

You Could Have Been Done
But
Almighty God Was Merciful To You!


Thank You, Father, For Saving Grace!
Thank You, Lord
He Still Has A Life In The To-Salvation Race! 
Thank You, Lord
For Not Letting Him Be Destroyed
And Be Lost To The Glorious Kingdom
Because Of Gross Folly
And Thank You For Relieving Satan
Of The Opportunity
Against Jesus Christ
To Be Vindictively Joyful And Happy!

Please, Tan, I Beseech You
Do Not Tempt The Lord Again!
You Are A Mortal
And 

You Can Have Your Life Recalled!
Don't Be Presumptuous!
You Know That We're Trying To Get Out From Under
The Effects Of The Fall
So Don't Be Like The Very Foolish Strong-Man Samson
And
The Wittingly Presumptuous King Saul!

Lord, Forbid!
The Lord Knows That I Am Truly Sorry!
I've Learned My Lesson
And It's The Straight And Narrow Way For Me
From Hereon!

I Love You
But
The Lord Loves You The Best!
Do Not Ever Again Put Him To The Test!

I Sincerely Promise That I Won't Do That Again!

Let's Praise Jesus And Glorify Almighty God!

AMEN!!!
