Judge Yourself: Soul Search!






We Need To Stop Comparing Ourselves To Others 
And
Aggressively Start Looking At Ourselves
- Judging Ourselves - 
Our Behaviors ... Beliefs
By What Does Say The Word Of Our God! 

We Are Known By The Company We Keep! 
The Behavior, Attitudes, Ideas
And 
Ideals Of Our Companions 
Instruct 
And
Impact Our Own
Such That We Have The Word Of Almighty God Saying: 
"Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits!" 
Aka By What They Cause To See The Light Of Day! 

Beloved, 
Anything 
And
Everything That We Think, Say 
And
Do In The Darkness
Believing It Hidden From The Prying Eyes 
Which Would Say To Us 
"Nay! Guh Back! Run Away!" 
Are Open ... On Display
And
On Permanent Record 
In The Courts Of Heaven 
And
Available To Condemn 
And
Damn 
Any And All Of Us Who Maliciously Choose 
To Live Lying And Corrupt Lives 
To Corrupt, Physically Hurt 
And
Spiritually Harm Others! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Walk 
With Shame-Faced Humility 
And
Soberness Before Jesus Christ
Who Chose Death Before Dishonor For Us
So That We May Stand Sanctified
Purified
To Be Glorified In The Great Day Of Accounts! 

Do A Deep Dive Into The Truth That Saves
The Word That Will Judge Us All
From The Heart Of Him Who Is The Judge Of Us All
And
Ask Yourself The Hard Question:
With What Spirit Are You By Your Daily Actions 
Affecting Or Afflicting Others!?! 

Soul Search!

BORN AND PRACTICING SINNERS: Humble Yourself!


Psalm 51:1-3 KJV | Psalm 51, Psalms, Cleanse me

When You Know That You're In The Wrong
Having Been Caught "In The Act" 
And 
Are Facing The One Who Has The Power Of 
Life And Death Over You
You Do Not Make Demands
Act Arrogantly
Or Speak Disrespectfully! 

When Your Hand Is In The Lion's Mouth 
You Humble Yourself
And 
Ease It Out By Tickling His Beard: You Appease Him! 

With That Said
We, Each, By Our Inherited Sinful Natures
And
Personally Cultivated Tendencies
Have Offended The Holy God 
So Let Us Search Our Souls
Seek After Christ While He Is To Be Found
Confess And Repent Of Known Sin Enthusiastically 
And
With Unfeigned Humility
Submit To Almighty God
And 
Sue For Peace That Is Presently Still Available! 


The Prince Of Peace, Himself
Is The Sinner-Man's
Pro Bono
Never Lost A Case
Personal Attorney!


Remember ...


Believe God, Obey, And Humbly Pray
And
Ask For A Blessing ... And Receive It
And
Seek God ... And Find Him
And
Knock  Confidently ... And Heaven's Gate To You Shall Open! 

Brethren, Beloved

These Are The Last Days
And
We Need To Get Right With The Living Holy God! 

We Need To Search The Scriptures 
And 
Our Own Souls ... Diligently! 

We Must, Must, Must, Seek After Almighty God
After The Lord Christ
And
His Righteousness ... Courageously, Doggedly, Unrestrainedly!

Put Your Heart Into It ...

To Go After Christ's Righteousness 
Your Heart Must Desire It!
To Receive Christ's Righteousness 
You, Personally, Must Take It
From That Holy Hand Extending Perfect Love 
And
Available Grace
By Exercising Your Free Will
And
Aggressively Utilizing Your Gift Of Choice 
For This Great Blessing! 

We Must Be Truly Wise 
And 
Willingly Submit To God
And 
Vigorously, Vehemently, Vociferously Resist 
The Damned-For-Eternity, Dangerously-Deceitful, Devil
That God-Fraud 
Who Can't Do Anything Good To Or For Any Of Us! 

We Need To Be Bold
And
Appear Boldly At The Throne Of Grace
In The Court Of Heaven 
And
Sue For Peace! 


You Have A Personal
Blood-Sealed
Open Invitation:
Use It!

Jesus Christ Paid The Price To Give Us, Each
The Right To Appear By Faith In The Father's Holy Presence
So, Beloved Purchase-Of-God
Get To Stepping
And
Go Get Your Gown And Your Crown! 

This Earth 
Is Not 
Our Home
So To Be A Part Of The Safe Fold Of God
Let's Get On Board 
The Olde And Sure Ship Of Zion
That's Unerringly Glory-Bound! 
Soon ... Very Soon
The Trumpet Of The Lord God Almighty Shall Sound!

NEW BIRTH: Without The Lord Christ!?!




Choosing To Live Life
Without The Lord Christ In It
Is Like Being Alive
Without Having The Breath Of Life!

Brethren,

Please Do Not Say Nothing!
Just Listen To This Remark
And
Ponder It Deep In Your Heart
And
Plead With The Almighty God
For The Leading Of His Holy Spirit
To Guide You Into All, Aka Absolute, Truth!
Let The Word Of God Dwell Within You Richly
If
It Is Your Desire To Have A Peaceful, Contented, Life!

She Said She Needed A New Birth
So She Went To The Plastic Surgeon
And Had Him Apply
His Devilish Artistry
To Give Her The Facsimile Of
The Well-Publicized Face
Of
A Celebrity!

Serious Soul Searching ...

How Often Have We Forgotten
Where Our Daily Blessings Come From!?!
How Often Have We Forgotten To Remember
That Without The Lord Christ
Our Blessings Would Number None!?!

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not A Good Look Upon A Christian
Neither Offering Thanks To The World
When It Belongs To The Lord
So Let Us This Day Effect An Attitude Adjustment
And
Deny The Liar Who Wants What Is Not His To Receive
And
Lift Up The Lord 
Without Whom We Wouldn't Be Able Even To Sneeze!

All Good Gifts ... All Blessings
Come From Our Eternal God!
Nothing Good That We Receive
Will Ever Come From The World
Nor  From The God-Fraud
So When We're Considering
To Whom To Give Glory, Honor And Praise
Look Only Unto Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Holy God Whom We Should Graciously Laud
And 
A Loving Song Of Rejoicing To His Name
For His Gifts Of Grace
-  Unmerited Favor Showered Upon Us -
Generously, Lovingly, Joyfully, Thankfully, Humbly, Raise!


Stop Following The Goat Herd:
Read And Digest
Perform And Promulgate ... Share
The Living, Holy, Saving, Word
Of
Jesus Christ The King
Our Soon-Returning Savior And Lord
The Judge Of All Flesh!

We Will Be True Unto Jesus Christ Until Death!?!

Brethren,
When All The Fun And Games Are Over
All The Acquisitions Made
All The Deals Finalized
All The Associations Normalized
And
The Self Aggrandized
How Many Of Us Are Willing Or Able
To Say That
The Faith Of The Fathers In Us
Is 
Living Still
And
We Will Be True To The Lord Christ
Until ... Death!?!

How Many Of Us Are Willing Or Able
To Stop Fence Straddling
To Stop Being Double-Minded
To Stop Gainsaying
To Stop Looking Back
And
To Start Being Bold
To Start Looking Up
To Start Walking Forward
On The Straight And Narrow Path
And
To Let Truth Start Lighting Our Way
And
Permit The Holy Spirit To Do A Good Work Within Us
So That That Good Work May Be Accomplished
And
We May Be Ready For
When The Lord Christ Comes
To Take Us To His Home!?!

How Many Of Us
If 
We Were Called To Die Tonight
Even In This Very Hour
Can Truthfully Say
That We Have Ourselves Right With Almighty God
And
We Shall See Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace!?!

How Many Of Us Are Holding On To 
Old Grudges
Favorite Sins
Bad Attitudes
Bitter Jealousies
Stunning Acts Of Pride
Unconfessed Sin
Old Hurts
Loathsome Doubts
And
Ungodly Fears!?!

Truth Must Be Told ...

Ungodly Fear Is Sin!
Doubt Is Sin!
Pride Is Sin!
Jealousy Is Sin!
Unforgiveness Is Sin!
All Lawlessness Is Sin
And
We All Know Of A Surety That
Sin Is The Transgression Of Almighty God's Law
And
No Sinner
- No Unrepentant Sinner -
Shall See Jesus Christ In Peace
Nor Enter Through The Gates Of Heaven
To Behold The Beautiful City!

 In This Hour
This Very Minute
How Many Of Us Will Raise A Hand
And Say ... Truthfully
We Are Ready To Go
And
Are Going Home With Our Savior Now!?!

Brethren,
Time Is Getting Short!
People Are Imagining Vain Things!
Truth Is Cast Into The Street!
And
The Nations Are Angry!
The People In The Nation's Are Angry!
The People In Our Nation Are Angry!
The People In Our Own Homes Are Angry
And I
Even I
I Am Angry
And These Things Should Not Be So!

We Need To Make Peace With God!
We Need To Let Go Of The World
And 
The World's Ugly Even Unto Abominable Doings
And
Freely Accept The Peace That 
Jesus Christ Freely Gives!

We Can't Fix The World
But
We Can Let Jesus Christ
- Via The Agency Of The Holy Spirit -
Fix Us
Our Ugly Ways
Our Bad Attitudes
And
Our Every Hurt!

It Must Be Said ...

Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost
And
We Must Call Upon Him
And
Fall Upon His Mercy
And
Accept The Grace That Is Free
To All Who Choose To Believe
Upon The Worthy Name!

I Am Telling You About Jesus Christ
But
I Can't Accept The Truth
The Grace
The Faith
The Pardon
The Salvation
Nor The Blessing 
For Any One Of You!

You, Me, We
Each One Must Work Out
Our Own Soul's Salvation
With Godly Fear And Honest Trembling!

Brethren,We Must Fear Damnation
And
Tremble With Awe
That We Children Of The Dust
Can Approach By Faith
The Holy God
Who Is A Consuming Fire
Because
Jesus Christ
The Only One Righteous
Paid The Full And Complete Price 
For All Of Our Sins
And
Purchased Every Singly, Solitary One Of Us 
A Free And Clear Pardon
On Calvary's Hill!

Please,
I Beseech You
Do Not Permit Jesus Christ's Blood
For Your Personal Salvation
To Have Been Shed In Vain!
Let Not Your Living Be In Vain!

Please Humble Yourselves
Under The Mighty Hand Of The Living God
And
He ... In His Own Perfect Time
Will Lift You Up
Even Unto Highest Heaven!

The Lord Loves Us Sacrificially!
He Cannot Lie
And
Neither Can His Living Word! 

Please Accept 
And
Pray The Promises Of The Eternal God
And
On The Rock Of Salvation
Unconditionally Rely!

Lord, 
I Believe! 
Please Cure Me
Of
Any Lingering Vestiges Of Unbelief
And
Save Me E'er I Die!


Brethren,Please Pray For Me
Even As I Pray For You
And
May The Almighty God
Have Mercy Upon Us All!

AMEN!!!

Enough Sufficient And Then Some ... With Prayer

The Conversation ...
That Conversation
Was Causing Serious Problems
For All Its Participants
Because
Every Time A Person
Waxed Emphatic
A Voice Was Heard
Denying The Truth Of The Person's Word!

Things Were In Turmoil!

I'll Give You An Example ...

Horace Said:
I Trust God!Voice Said:
Not Enough!
When It Is Convenient!

Heather Said:
I Walk With The Lord!Voice Said:
Not Always!
When It Is Comfortable!

Stephanie Said:
I Believe God's Word!Voice Said:
Not Enough!
When It Is Convenient!
When It Is In Compatible Company!

Nola Said:
I Thank God For His Grace!
Voice Asked:
Not Always!
Why Aren't You Walking In It?

Sanjeev Said:
I Live For The Lord!Voice Asked:
Not Always!
Who Knows It?
Where Is Your Light?

Phenola Said:
I Witness For The Lord!Voice Asked:
Not Always!
With Whose Words?
With What Spirit?

You Will Be Surprised
To Know
That In The Conversation ...
That Conversation
The Participants Were
Only One
Plus
A Conscience
- Compliments Of The Holy Spirit -
Which Was
Which Is
Often Denied!

The Bible AsksAND
Speaks:





AND
I Ask:

Who Better
To Call Us Plain Liars
Than The Conscience
Attached To Us
By God's Cord?!

For Truth's Sake
I Will Accuse My Self
In The Conversation ... 
My Conversation
AND SAY:

I Don't Love God ... Enough!
AND
I Don't Trust God ... Enough!
OR
Walk With Him Close ... Enough!
AND
I Don't Believe In God ...Enough!
AND
Let Him Lead Me ... Enough!AND
Then I Will Exclaim 
With Much Sorrow
That
I Am Crying Out To God In ...

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord
Grant Me
Of
Love Hope
Faith Truth 
Trust
And
Belief
Enough
Sufficient And Then Some
So That I Do Not End Up With
None
For
I Desire To Walk
And Live For
And With You
And Without These
I Know That I Cannot
A Victorious Race Run!


Grant Me, Lord
The Redeemed Soul's Sense
To Get Out Of Sin's Torrential Rain
Using The Umbrella Of Jesus Christ's Faith
And
Grant Me The Contrite Heart's Willingness
To Let You Break
- With Finality -
Old Besetting Sin's Chain!


Father,
Grant The Courage
To Speak Your Truth
Without Being Vain
And
Please, Lord
Help Me
Neither In Thought
Word Or Deed
Your Holy Name
To Profane!


Lord, 
Let Me Not Shine The Black Light
Of That Other Jesus!
Let Me Not Spread
The Delusional Gospel
Of That Other Word
That Is Widely Being Heard
But
Let Me Be A Faithful Witness
To The Living Gospel
Of Christ The King's Truth
And
Let Me Do It Lovingly
By Holy Faith
And In

And With 
The Same Incorruptible Truth!

Let My Light So Shine
That Men May See
Christ Jesus
Living In Me!
Help Me To Live Such A Life
As Is Called Godly!
Let Me Plant Seeds
That Will Become A Harvestable Crop
To Provide Wheat
For The Holy God's Garner
And
Lord, Please
Let It Be A Lot!

Forgive, Lord
And
Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!
I Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus' Name I Plead!
AMEN.

No More Low Road Riding!


Amazing Is The Discovery
That
I Can't Disappoint Jesus
BUT
I Can His Heart Hurt!

Astounding
Is The Discovery
That
By Faith
AND
Confession Of Known Sin
AND
Sincere Repentance
I Can
The Hurt Reverse!

It Is Not A Small Matter
To Hurt Christ The King!

Remember ...

We All Punishingly Hurt Him
When For Us
By Nails
His Body To The Cruel Cross
Did Cling
AND
This Is Not A Matter
For
Proud Boasting
BUT
A Great Matter
For Confession
AND
Repentance
By Sincere Soul Searching!

Be Not Deceived!
The Almighty God Is Not Mocked
For
He Knows Truly
All Who Will Be Numbered
AND
Named
As Members
As Sheep
In The Little Flock!

It Is Possible ...

We May Deceive The World
AND
The Church
AND
Friends And Family, Too
BUT
We Deceive Ourselves
Not The Living God
Whose Hand Created Us
AND
Who Died 
For Both Me And You!

We Are Made In God's Image
AND
In His Own Likeness!
If There Had Been Only One
He Would Still
For That One Have Died
AND
It Is For This Love Attachment
That He Strives With Us Long
BUT
Don't Get It Twisted
For
Every Long Day That Has A Sun Up
Has Also Got A Sun Down!

Pay-Day Is Coming, So ...

If The Savior Matters To You
AND
Salvation To You
Is Not A Curse
Cast Down That Wicked Old Satan
AND
Let Jesus Christ
Your Life Reverse!

Don't Crucify Christ Afresh!
Don't Pound Into His Flesh Fresh Nails!
Don't Ram Another Spear Into His Side
AND
Don't Again
Spit In His Face!

Don't Pluck Out Jesus Christ's Beard!
Don't Cast Lots Again For His Clothes!
Don't Do Another Judas On Him
AND
Please Don't Sell His Body ... Again
To His Known
AND
Revealed
Cruel Foes!

I Am Taking My Own Advice!
I Am Setting Down My Soul At Christ's Feet!
I Am Denying That Treacherous Liar
Satan
AND
I Am Beseeching My God
To Change Me
AND
To Forgive Me, Please
For I Now Truly Recognize My Need!

One Death For Christ
By A Broken Heart Was Cruel!
A New Death Daily 
Is Off The Wall Inhumane
(No Description Is Suitably Close To Being Right)!
So Let Us Stop Our Sadistic Barbarism
AND
Look At Jesus Christ
With New Eyes
Filled
By Heaven's True Light!
Let Us Not In Him Be Ashamed!

No More Low Road Riding For Me!
The High Road Is Now Mine
For
I Am Choosing To Be Faithful
To Him Who
To Me
Is Faithfully, Unfailingly, Kind!


Got Questions?

Jesus Christ IS The Answer!

Kinda Sorta Maybe Probably Assuredly Christian?!?!


I was kinda sorta maybe perhaps Happy
I was kinda sorta probably maybe Sad
I was kinda sorta  probably distinctly Miserable
But I was definitely distinctly assuredly positively Bad!

I was kinda sorta maybe probably serving Jesus
I was kinda sorta probably definitely serving The Fraud
I was kinda sorta probably assuredly definitely fooling Myself
For I was definitely decidedly distinctly not fooling God!

I kinda think I maybe probably honestly knew where this life would lead me
But I definitely assuredly knew The Day I truly faced The Cross
And that is when I definitely assuredly positively knew I needed a cleansing
And that is when lying to Myself out the window flew!

My Cleansing definitely brought me serious intense soul-searching
My Healing assuredly came with myriad tears
My Ascension to The Roll of True Believer
Assuredly positively came when I honestly willingly wisely accepted 
The Gift of Eternal Life that Jesus Christ gave!

I am positive I am Changed
I am assured that Jesus Forgave
And live, or die, neither Sin nor Death 
Can keep Me from gaining The Life of The Saved!

I am 
Sincerely
Positively
Assuredly Convinced 
that
Jesus Christ 
IS
My Lord and Savior
for
The I AM Saved Me ... by His Grace!
