Do You Pray!?! + PRAYER: Father, I Know That You Are True!

Why should the sons and daughters of God be reluctant to pray, when prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock heaven’s storehouse, where are treasured the boundless resources of Omnipotence?—(Steps to Christ, 94.) 

I Can Pray!
You Can Pray!
We Can Pray!
Do We Pray ... Enough!?!

We Pray!
You Pray!
They Pray
For A Lot Of ... Stuff!

I Am Selfish!
You Are Selfish!
We Are Selfish!
Do We Blush!?!

Sorry To Say
We Do Not Blush Close To Enough
Because
We See Through The Eye Of I, Me, Mine And Myself 
And
Forget That There Are Others
That We Could ... By Unselfish Effort 
Bless Most Generously!

We, You, They
Better Every Day!
I, Me, Mine
Needs To Be Held At Bay
Because
It Is Better To Give Than To Receive
Is 
What Jesus Christ The Lord Plainly Says!

Pray For Rain
To Be Blessed To Be A Blessing!

Pray With Passion 
And 
Not Because It Is In Fashion!

Pray For Peace
Not For Piece O' This
And
Some O' That!

Pray For Direction
And 
Not To The Mall
Or Some Raucous Scene Of Action!

Pray ... Just Because 
There Is The Holy God Who Loves You!
Pray Because You Have The Savior-Friend!
Pray Because Your God Is The God Of Creation
Who Has Promised You A Heavenly Home With Him
If You Walk Faithfully, Enduringly, With Him
Until He Returns While You Yet Live
Or Your Appointed Years Of Life
Shall Come To Mortal Man's End!

Pray
Because 
Jesus Christ Is Holy, Eternal
Your Hope, Help, And Salvation
And
He Is Your Only God
And
Known Never To Be A Fraud
And Because
Sticking Close To The Lord Christ By Prayer
Leads A Sinner Turned Saint
To The Eternal Reward!

Pray That With The Lord Christ
You Will Enduringly Walk In Accord! 

PRAYER:

Dear Father,
You Are In Heaven, Your Throne!
I Am On Earth, Your Footstool!

I Come To You Because I Know That You Are True!
I Am Calling Upon You
Because You Invited Me, By Open Invitation
To Come Boldly To Your Throne Of Grace
Where I May Ever Find Help In My Time Of Need!

I See My Need, Father!
It Is Constant And Pressing ... Very Urgent!
I Need My Jesus, My Lord, My Master, My King
My Hope
My Constant Help
My Very Salvation!
I Need The Beloved
Who Will Never Permit A Beggar
A Suppliant
A Penitent Soul
To Go Away Without The Need Fulfilling!

I Come To You Because You Love Me
And I, In Gratitude
Return Your Love By Exercising My Gift Of Daily Faith
And Bowing Not Just My Knee
But My Heart Before You In True Humility!

I Pray, Lord, For Hearing, For Sight
For Help And Healing!
I Beseech You, Lord, For Healing
From The Crown Of My Head
To The Very Sole Of My Feet
And I Sincerely Pray For Spiritual Healing
So That Your Holy Name, I Do Not Disgrace!

I Pray For The Brethren Near And Far
Known And Unknown
Seen And Unseen
Those Coming To Faith
Those In The Faith Of Jesus
And
Those Struggling With The Gift Of Faith
Wondering If They Dare To Trust It!
Help Them, Help Us, To See The Lord Clearly!

Father,
You Are Holy, Just, Kind, Loving And True
And I Beseech You In Behalf Of Us All
Help Us To See You Clearly
Help Us To Follow You Loyally
Looking Ever At The Sacrifice 
Paid For Us To Be Able To Come Boldly To Your Throne
Without Godly Fear And Holy Trembling
Knowing, Expecting, Believing The Promises
And Waiting Patiently For The Performance!
You Are Faithful!

You Are The Holy God Who Cannot Lie!
Jesus Christ Came And Showed Us The Way
How We May Courageously Satan And His Angels Defy!
Help Us To Hold On To Our Hope
And Walk Wise Unto Our Soul's Salvation
So That In The Appointed Day
We Shall Indeed Enjoy The Joyous Celebration!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer
For We Ask All In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name!
We Love You, Father!
Have Mercy And Bless
And
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN.

Seven Steps To The Eternal God!

The Steps Are Plain:

Determination ... Set The Mind Toward Knowing God
And
Preparation ... Get Ready To Meet God
Isolation ... Spend Alone-Time With God
Expectation ... Look Always For A Blessing
Adoration ... Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness
Revelation ... Learn God By Letting Him Reveal Himself
Mediation ... Think To Bless Others
Transformation ... Acquire Christ's Character


The Holy God
Knows The End From The Beginning!
He, It Is, That Sustains Us ... In Between
And
All Who Would See Jesus Christ In Peace
Should
With Doing The Will Of Almighty God
Be Enormously Pleased!

Walking With The Eternal God
Requires
Personal Determination
To Get To Know ... Intimately
The Great I AM
And
To Set Aside All Noisome Distractions
And
Those Things Which Do Not Edify!

In Getting To Know The Creator God
One Must Indulge In Preparation
Aka Setting Aside Self
And 
Things Of The Carnal Sort
Because
Personal Sacrifice Is A Desirable Attribute
Which ... Avidly Pursued
Leads One ... Living Only For Christ Jesus
Unto The Great Reward!

Making Time For The Savior God
Requires 
Isolation
Quiet Time
Communion With The Holy Spirit
The Great Teacher
Who Leads Into All Truth
Teaching Guiding Chiding
All In Perfect Love
So That Our Hearts Are Not Lifted Up In Pride
But 
That In The Great God
We May Abide
And
Confidently Confide!

In Walking With The Redeemer God
One Must Have Great Expectations
For
The Blessings Of The Great God Are Never Small!
After All
He Did Make Heaven, Earth And Things All! 

We Must Believe That The Blessing God's Gifts To Us
Are Out Of His Abundant Riches
And
Not Fall For The Sophistries Of Satan
The Wily Dragon
The Benighting Fraud!

What Point Is Our Association
If We Do Not Adore The True God!?! 

It Is A Decided Blessing To Lift Up
The Living God
So, Let's Not Skimp On Praying
Praising
And
Petitioning The Everlasting God
Because
This Is A Precursor
To Our Hallelujah Days!
Let Not This Step Be Just A Momentary Phase! 

As We Walk The Steps To The Kingdom Of Light
Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit
The Lord's Character To Truly Reveal! 
Let Us Not Be Dabblers
But
Become Specialists On Him Who Is
Light Life
Love And Salvation
And
We Shall Not Be Among Those
Who Honor Self
Lift Up Sin
And
Are Walking Toward Sure Damnation!
He Is The God Who Heals! 

And ... 

In The Process Of Our Own Journey
Let Not Forget Our Brethren
By Blood
By Faith
By Affection! 
Let Us Not Forget The Stranger In The Way! 
Let Us ... For The Love Of The Lord Christ
Generously Mediate for Others!
We Are All One Blood! 
We Are Sisters And Brothers! 

Brethren, Beloved
I Tell You The Truth:
We Will Be Transformed! 
We Will Not Be Left Untouched
Unaffected
By Our Relationship With The Lord Christ! 
We, Converted
Regenerated
Shall Be As He Is! 
We Shall Be Like Him! 
With His Character, We Shall Be Adorned
And
We Shall Truly Know
Why, For Us
He Wore That Cruel Cutting Crown Of Thorns!

Please Do Not Let Christ's Sacrifice For Us
Become The Thing Call Waste! 
Let Us Be Vigilant
And
Let The Spirit Of The Living God
The Sin Character In Us ... Today 
Totally Efface!

Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind! 
Set Your Affections On Things Above! 
Desire The Gift That Only God Through Jesus Christ Gives
And
At The Appointed Time
We Shall To The Promised Land
Beulah Land Of Gold
Triumphantly
Go To Eternally Live! 

To Satan ... 

The Words:
"Get Thee Behind Me!"
With Finality
Boldly Give!

HAPPY SABBATH + Damn The Devil!





Yesterday, I Learned
Men Can Really Behave As Fools
AND
Women Can Be Enormously Wicked!

AND

Women Talk Too Much
AND
Are Too Concerned With The Wrong Things
AND
Men Need To Stand Up For The Right
AND
Say "NO!"  To The Wrong
AND
Mean It!

The Adam And Eve Scenario Rides Again ... And Again!

The Truth Is ...

Having A Pocket Book
Does Not Make A Woman A Bank!
Having A Pen
Does Not Make A Man A Scribe!
Having A Heart
Does Not Make A Woman A Home
AND
Having A Heart
Should Never Force A Man
For A Woman's Maliciously Egregious Behavior 
To Atone!

Men Need To Learn That
If
Eating A Gourmet Catered Meal
Will 
Cost Your Life
It Is Time 
To Eat Dry Bread And Rancid Butter
AND
Live ... Free!

Women Need To Learn
That Modern Adam
- Just Like Adam Of Old Had -
Has
More Ribs To Spare
AND
The Creator God Still Has Creative Power

AND
Powerful Skills!

Almighty God
Does Not Like Ugly

Foolish
Wicked
Unkind
Hateful
Nor Evil Behavior!

AND

There Is Neither Fool
Foolish Heart
Nor Wicked Person

Nor Wicked Hand
Going Heaven
So Man And Woman
Wise Up!

An Ugly Mind In A Pretty Face
Does Not Make One Beautiful!
AND
A Foolish Heart In A Buff Body
Does Not Make One Smart!
Wise Up!

The Wisdom Of The Wise
Does Not Folly Disguise
AND
The Wiles Of The Wicked
Do Not Lead Supposed Saints
To Gloriously Heaven!

Remember These Things ...

  • Adam Didn't Want To Lose Eve's Companionship So He Willfully Sinned To Keep It
  • Solomon Loved Many Idolatrous Women Who Caused Him Against The Living God To Knowingly Sin
  • Samson Knowingly Consorted With A Prostitute And Wittingly Gave Up His Blessing To Gain Supposed Peace From That Whining Idolatrous Woman
  • King Herod Foolishly Promised And By Weakness Executed And Salvered John The Baptist's Head Because His Unmentionable Portion Was, By The Gyrations Of A Nubile Dancer, Inordinately Pleased
AND

If These Things
Do Not Teach Us Anything
Satan Will Continue Damnation's Song
- Enthusiastically - 
To Sing
Against Those Who Lust
AND
Indulge The Fleshy Fling!

We Should Be Aware By Now, That ...

Misery Likes Company!
Sin Hates Salvation!
Truth Always Survives Darkness!
Hate - Like Lies - Despises Light!
Men Need To Ever Speak 
AND
Stand In The Truth
For
They Are The Family Priests!
Women Need To Constantly Spread Heavenly Light
For
They Are Our Children's Teachers!

Man And Woman
- In Salubrious Combination -
Walking With The Lord
AND
Departing The Ways Of The Fraud
Are A Blessing
In The Society Of Man
AND THEY
Seeking Peace 
Through Faithfulness
AND
Doing Right
Having Their Steps Ordered
AND
Living Orderly In Christ For Christ's Sake
Shall 

At The Appointed Time
Live With The Lord Christ
In Eternal Peace In Paradise!

Brethren,
Let's Put Jesus First
AND
Take A Firm And Committed Step To The Christ
AND
Thereby
Damn The Devil
AND
His Demonic Devices!


A Spine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Glorious Refrain!






No One Can Stop What The Lord God Has Appointed!
No One Can Almighty God's True Prophets Charm!
Anyone Can Shout "Fire!"
In A Crowded Building
BUT
No One Can Almighty God's Believing Repentant People Fill
With Ungodly Fear
AND
Alarm!

No One Can Deceive God's Elected People
Who
Through Jesus Christ's Living Faith
Are Battle Ready
AND
Strong!
Any One Can Cry:
"I'm Jesus! Bow Before Me!"
BUT
The Holy People Won't Be Dancing To
The Arch-Deceiver's Lying Song!

The Called
The Few
The Chosen Saints Of The Coming Kingdom
Built On The Rock Not Cut Out With Human Hands
Will
- After Enduring Battle-Scarred
Bruised, Burned, Bent And Broken Mortal Bodies -
Receive Immortal Bodies
AND
The Right
Through Heaven's Pearly Gates
To Enter In!

The Living Faith Of Almighty God's Holy People
Who Believe Almighty God's Word Of Prophecy
Will Not Be Put Off
By The Daily Signs Of The Times
For
They Love Not Their Lives
In This Veil Of Tears
BUT
- As True Citizens Of New Jerusalem -
Have Cast Their Fears
On Jesus Christ
The Coming Judge For The Unrepentant
AND
The Holy King Of The Redeemed Ones
Who Lovingly
All Their Burdens Bear!

Totally Trusting In Him Who Is Faithful
The Faithful Few
Walk Holy
AND
- In Cheerful Christian Hope -
Joyfully Sing
Salvation's Blessed Song!

HALLELUJAH
Is Our Highest Praise To Him!

Glory To Him!
Who Paid For Us To No Longer Be Sin's Slaves!

Amazing Grace!
The Sweet Song Of Faith In Trial
AND
Temptation!

Redeemed!
Through Endless Ages
The Glorious Refrain!


Glory!
Hallelujah!
Our Burdens Are All Laid Down!

Glory!
Hallelujah!
Satan's Musicals
Won't Get Us Off
The Steps To Christ
NOR
Stop The Saints From
Lifting Up Jesus
In The Music
Of
Christ In Song!
