If You Want Joy, Real Joy ...!






I Remember Singing On Sabbath As A Child
 
"If You Want Joy
Real Joy
Wonderful Joy
Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart!" 

The Chorus Continued To Speak About 
Our Nights Being Turned To Day
Our Sins Being Washed Away
And 
Our Lives Being Made Over Anew! 

Beloved, 

When A Sentence Starts With An 
"If You Want ..." 
There Is The Real Possibility That 
You Don't Want The Thing On Offer! 

For The One Seeking The Lord At This Time 
When He Is To Be Found
Honest Questions Seeking Knowledge 
To Make The Informed Decision 
Regarding The New Life In Christ Are Acceptable! 

For The Christian Who Has Had Long Experience With
And 
Ample Proof Of 
The Goodness, Mercy, Love, And Grace Of The Lord
But, Why, What For, When, Where, And The Like 
Have That Sulphurous Stench Of Doubt! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Makes It Plain That 
He Has Nothing For Those 
Who Choose Not To Exercise Faith In Him 
And, Instead
Indulge Decimating Doubt! 

Are You Living As A Candle 
Glowing Or Guttering 
According To The Winds Of Change 
And
The Flavors Of The Moment 
Being Sold At The Fad Farm Or Ego Emporium!?! 

Fads Fail 
And 
Ego Goes Overboard! 

Slow, Sure, Steady, With Staying-Power
And 
With Saints Sealed And Saved 
Is
The Expected End Of The Life Committed To Christ! 

Faith Equips All Of Us Who Are Willing 
To Endure And Excel 
In The Journey To Joy In Jesus 
Which Continues Onward And Upward 
With The Joyous Celebration 
In New Jerusalem! 

Joy Is A Precious Gem! 
Dare To Find And Hold Your Treasure! 

Peace!

The Blood-Washed Band!








We Love To Sing, With Deep Emotion, That Dear Song Of Zion: 

"What Can Wash Away My Sin!?! 
Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus!" 

Have You Considered That Even As In The Natural World
The Scent Of Blood 
Sends The Predators Of The Spirit World Into A Frenzy!?! 

Beloved, 

The Blood-Washed, Committed, Saint Of God And Christ 
Has A Distinctive, Very Powerful Scent
Speech, Walk, Will And Way Of Being That 
Is
A Distinct Affront 
And 
Threat To The Demon Class 
And 
To Those Who Are Possessed 
And 
Activated By These Condemned And Damned Beings! 

Simply Put, All Of Us Who Willingly Repented 
And
Humbly Confessed Our Sin
And 
Have Turned Away From Sinful Self
And 
Are By The Gift Of Faith
Daily Taking Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion
And 
Are Being Changed By The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
Because 
We Are Born-Again Christians
Are Threats 
And 
Prey! 

Being Born Is A Bloody Business 
And 
Being Born-Again Is No Less So! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

We May Be The Allegedly Weak Prey To The Damned 
But
Our Heartfelt Prayers Of Faith Work Mightily
Because 
He By Whom We Are Cleansed 
And
In Whose Image We Are Daily Being Remade
Takes Loving Care Of His Own Precious People! 

Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 
He Can't Go Back Home To Glory! 
He Has Already Been Overcome
And
He Is Damned For Eternity!
He Hates And Envies Christ With His Whole Being
And
He Hates You Because You Are Christ's! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord And Eternal God
Is 
Our Dear, Loving And Beloved Savior
And
By Almighty God's Available And Saving Grace 
And
With Mercy Free
We, Ever Obedient And Faithful And True
Are Headed Home To Glory
So Please Let Us Wise For Ourselves
- Through Our Love For The Lover Of 
Our Purchased-With-Innocent-Blood Souls -
And
Remain In The Blood-Washed Band 
Where We Are Protected ... Blessed! 

Choose Always To Be At Peace With God!

Praise HIM!!



Praise HIM!!



I feel Like calling Him, Jesus
I feel like calling Him, Lord
I trust my soul to His keeping, and
I dwell upon His word!



I feel like calling Him, Savior,
He's my Redeemer, too
He paid the price for my sinning,
I know He's Holy and true!


He keeps me in his tender care
His Holy Angels surround
His Holy Spirit comforts me
Dear Lord! I'm heavenward bound!!



I cannot keep from shouting
I can't help singing His praise
I'm gonna give Him all the glory

For all the rest of my days! **BJC**

New Page "The Choir" Added

Greetings, Dear Ones!

Please join me in praying for the Lord's blessing, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the covering and protection of the Holy Angels for our children and their teachers, instructors, coaches, professors, administrators and security personnel who are returning for the first full week of school since the end of the Summer vacation! May Almighty God have mercy upon each and every one of them.

I have added a new poem page entitled The Choir.

This poem has an interesting story behind it:

 In my home church when I was a young lady, we had several accomplished singers. However, there was a particular Sister in the congregation who had two daughters who both had beautiful voices and, to hear her carry on, you would believe that she was instrumental in them having received their voices. And, of course, the goodly Sister never failed to let you - who "though" you could sing - know that you were no match in the singing department against her gifted daughters. 

Now, on any given Sabbath, you  could expect to hear one or both of the sisters singing, and on this particular Sabbath, every time an item of special music was announced, one of her daughters go up to "perform." Well, they were on a roll at that particular Sabbath evening's program, and the goodly Sister was in kiddie goat heaven!

I guess it was about the third announced item of special music when both daughters got up to go to the rostrum that their dear Mother outdid herself!

She jumped up and, proud as a peacock in all its glory, gleefully shouted: "My STARS!"

Without missing a beat, several of the other singers who has been stung by her insults on their talents responded: "Mon-STARS!"

Sufficed to stay, that was the end of that type of behavior.

Well, go have yourself a read, and have a blessed day at work, school, or at home, whatever your chosen activity.
