Faith Ain't Stuff And Grace Ain't Nonsense!






People Don't Sleep 
Because 
Many Ravenously Desire
- And Some Have Got -
Silver, Gold, Houses, Lands 
And
A Boatload Of Stuff And Nonsense 
To Occupy Their Minds, Hands And Time: 
They Are All Rich In Sin And Trespasses! 

Beloved, 

When We Come To Realize That 
We Are Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind And Naked
And 
Recognize That We Can't Help Ourselves 
And
Need The Thoughtful, Loving, Kind
Providential Care Of Our Creator-God 
And
Cry Out To Him In Our Distress
It Is Then That The Lord God Almighty
Mighty To Save
And
Strong To Bless
Is 
Able To Do A Good Work In Our Lives
Intimately, Individually And Personally! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Allow Silver And Gold To Testify Against You
In The Great Day Of Accounts!

Do Not Permit Covetousness, Pride And Greed 
To Stop You From Taking All That Concerns Your Life
Your Physical, Spiritual
And 
Emotional Well-Being 
To Almighty God In Heartfelt Prayer
Day By Day 
And 
Moment By Moment!

No Surprise ...

A Drowning Man 
Will Clutch At A Straw To Save Himself 
But
We Who Go To Jesus Christ To Be Saved 
Will Find That We Are Holding On To 
The Eternal Rock Of Ages 
Who Is Firmly Holding Us Securely! 

May The God Of Grace Help Us This Day 
To Get Our Priorities In Order 
By Our Humbly Placing Jesus Christ First 
In Everything That We Think, Say And Do 
So That We Are No Longer Rich In Sins And Trespasses 
But 
Humble And Faithful Before His Holiness! 

Never, Ever, Forget That God's Great Grace 
Is 
Always Sufficient For Us
And
For You ... Personally! 
Peace Be Unto You! 


Our Gifts Of Faith
And
Free Grace
Cost Our Father In Heaven
Everything That He Held Dear:
His Only Begotten Son!!

Forgive Us, Lord, As We Forgive Others!?!






Everybody Loves The Lord's Prayer
And 
Blithely Repeat It 
Without Pausing To Think About The Words 

"Forgive Us ... As We Forgive ...!" 

We Love To Talk About 
"Do Fuh Do!" 
When We Are The Doer 
And 
Foolishly Forget That 
We Are In Debt To Almighty God
Because 
We Have Trespassed 
Aka Gone Where We Should Not 
Aka Committed Sin Against His Holiness! 

We, All, Are Treading On Dangerous Ground 
When We Pray For Forgiveness 
And
Walk Around Holding Grudges Against People
- Be They Friends, Family Or Foes - 
While Daringly Saying: 
"I Will Never Forgive Them!" 

Beloved, 

Are You The True And Living Holy God Of Grace And Mercy!?! 
Do You Hold Life And Eternity In Your Hand!?! 

If Your Answer Is 
"No!" 
I Beseech Us All To Back-Back To Go Forward! 

The Lord Jesus Christ
Immediately After Teaching His Disciples 
How To Pray 
Then Warned Them Graphically 
About The Content Of Their Prayers 
And 
Their Attitude! 
To Err Is Human: 
To Forgive Is Divine! 

We Who Desire The Lord's Forgiveness 
For Our Sins Against Him 
Must First
Forgive Those 
"Who Done Did Us Wrong!" 

Let Us, Therefore
Be Obedient So That 
We Shall Be Blessed Of Our God! 

By Faith
In Truth
For The Love Of God
Dare To Extend Your Hand In Fellowship
Even If It Figuratively Gets Chopped Off! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory 
Reads Hearts 
And
He Promises New Life And New Bodies! 
Do Right! 
Eternal Blessings Await The Obedient Enduring Faithful!


Peace
Is
Like The River Glorious!

Sin ... And Forgiveness!

Think Deeply About This ...

He Who Had No Sin Became Sin ... For Us!

He Who Is Alive Forever
Died To Give Life To Us
Who Are Dead In Sin And Trespasses!

The Question Is:
How Do We Make The Connection 
To Make The Transaction Real!?! 

Jesus Christ Make The Infinite Deposit
In The Bank Of Eternity: 
We Are Mortal Men, Sinners, Who Live In Time! 
How Are We Going To Make The Needful Withdrawal
So That We May Have Our Necessary Food
And
Directions
Travelling Mercies
Transportation Expenses
Shelter
Protection! 

How Do We Get From Present Living For Hell
To Living To Arrive At The Future Heavenly Home
When There Is Gulf Fixed Betwixt The Two!?!

Lest We Tremble And Fear In Despair 
Let's Remember Jacob's Ladder
The Bridge Between Earth And Glory
The Cross-Bar On The Cross Of Christ
The Benediction Aka It Is Finished
Which Capped The Upper Room Prayer Of Consecration:


John 17:24 (KJV) Yeshua praying to the Father. | Uplifting quotes ...



Where I Am
There Shall Also My Servants Be! 

Brethren,

We Have A Job Of Work To Do
So Let's Get To Stepping
Because
There Is No Sinner Going To Be Where Jesus Christ Is!
We've Got A House-Cleaning To Accomplish!


Pin on Statements & Verses


All Lawlessness Is Sin! 
All Humans Are Sinners! 
Some Sins Are Natural 
Because 
We Are Born With The Inclination To Sin! 
Some Sins Are Cultivated! 
Some Sins Are Marked As 
Going Where You Shouldn't Go Aka Transgressions
And 
Other Sins Are Called iniquity Aka Planned Sins! 

All Sins Are Forgiven 
... If We Confess ... 
Except For The Sin Of Blasphemy 
Against The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Second Death! 

Forgiveness Is Free!

The Only Person 
Who Doesn't Need Forgiveness For Known Sin 
Is 
Almighty God! 

The Sins That We Do Not Confess Cannot Be Forgiven 
And 
Stay On The Books Of Remembrance In Heaven! 
The Sins That We Humbly Confess 
And 
Repent Aka Turn Away From
Are Cast Into The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Never To Be Recalled!

Make The Days Of Your Life Count!
 
Beloved,

We Cannot Climb The Ladder
Cross The Bridge
Escape Time
Or Enter Eternity With The Stench Of 
The Load Of Sin Attached To Our Persons! 

No Escaping The Facts ... 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed Daily
So Let's Make It A Habit 
To Confess Are Repent Of Our Sins Daily 
Because 
Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Of Us
Our Name Is Not Jesus Christ
And 
Our Tongues Are Not Bibles 
Aka The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Believe The Living Word
Accept And Gratefully Use Our Gift Of Forgiveness
And 
Be At Peace With And In Our Savior 
And 
Coming King
Jesus Christ The Lord!
Soon, Very Soon, The Last Trumpet Will Sound!

Dead Men
Can't Praise Almighty God
And
Can't Ask
For Forgiveness!

PRAYER: In This Quiet Hour ...!



Lord,
I Am Thankful For Your Grace
And
For The Fact 
That You Look Not On My Outward Appearance
And
I Ask You In This Quiet Hour 
To Look Upon My Heart
And
If There Be Any Wickedness
Or Willfulness Or Selfishness
Hiding Within Me
Please, I Beseech You
Cause It From Me To Depart!


Lord,
I Am A Child In Many Ways
And
Often Do Rightly Called Childish Things
But, Lord
I Believe You
And
I Am Willing To Listen 
And
To Be Brought Up
In Your Fear And Admonition
And
I Beseech You
Please Teach Me
Lead Me
Guide Me
So That I May Wise Up
And
From Childish Oft' Foolish Ways
Grow Apart!


Father, 
I Am A Servant Willing
Desiring To Become A Faithful Steward
For My Master And My God
And
I Beseech You
With All That Is Within Me
To Fit Me
And Equip Me
And Send Me Off
According To Your Will
And In Your Way
To Do Your Bidding
For The Eternal Kingdom
Always Faithful And Hopeful
And
Never From The Ways Of Righteousness
Ever To Depart!


Root Me, Lord
Ground Me
And
Raise Me Up
To Be A Polished And Beautiful Pillar
In The Temple Of My God
For
My Heart Trusts The Word
Of The Living God Of The Few Faithful
And
I Desire To See With My Own Eyes
- And In Peace -
The Eternal God
Whose Broken Heart
Gave New Life
To My Brethren And Me!


Father,
Please Help Me To Keep Hope Alive
No Matter What Evil
Against Which I Must Strive
So That In The Fullness Of Time
I May Ascend To Eternal Life!


Please Forgive Me My Trespasses
Against Your Holy Name
As I Confess And Repent 
For
I Love You, Lord
And
Desire In Your Sight To Be Obedient!
Let Your Mercy Continue Freely To Flow!
In The Name Of The Holy Jesus
I Humbly Pray, And Plead!
AMEN.

ALMIGHTY GOD: No Convenience! + PRAYER: I Honor You, Lord!






I Go To God For Blessings!
I Go To God For Comfort 
AND
Peace Sweet
AND
I Also Go To God
Because
Without Him
I Am In This Life 
Dreadfully Incomplete!

I Seek Not To Mold God
In My Image!
I Have No Power
To Humble God
At My Feet
BUT
I Do Thank God
That I Know
That He IS God
AND
Sovereign Lord
AND
I Honor Him
For His Love
For Me
Is Blessedly Sweet!

Why Should The Living God
Be To Me
An After-Thought?
Why Should Almighty God
Be To Me
A Mere Bank?
Why Should The Saving God
Be To Me
An Escape Route
When
By Having Him
As My All And All
I Can Be Reformed
Regenerated
Wholly Loved
AND
Made Clean
To Live Forever
In The Day Coming
AND
Because Of Him
Among The Stars
- At Will -
May Shoot!

God Through Jesus Christ
Is NOT My Convenience!
God IS
My Shepherd
My Very Best Friend!
God IS My First
My Last
My Beginning
AND
My End
AND
By Loving Him
Living For Him
Exercising Jesus' Faith
- Through Work Because Of Returned Love -
I Can Hope
For Things
That I See No Evidence Of!

PRAYER:

Father,
In Heaven
I Beseech You
To Bless Me Again
With Things, Thoughts
And
Insights
That Only A Holy God
Will Freely Share!

I Bless You, Lord
 For Yesterday!
I Thank You For Today's Blessing
And
For The Grace
That Gives Me Hope
For Tomorrow
All Because
It Is To You
The Holy, Loving, God
To Whom I Say My Prayers!

Teach Me, Lord,
To Love You More!
Teach Me, Lord,
To Seek You More
And
Draw Me, Lord
To That Open Door
So That I May Enter
By Perfected Right
To Live
In Bright Mansions
On The Peaceful Shore!

I Love You, Lord!
Bless Me!
I Trust You, Lord!
Lead!
I Am Your Child!
Comfort Me!
I Honor You, Lord!
Please, Speak!

Comfort Me With Your Holy Spirit
And
Let Holy Angels
Protect Me
As I This Day
Come And Go
And
Please Forgive Me
For My Trespasses
Against You
For You Are The God Holy True!
I Ask My Petitions
In The Matchless Name Of Jesus
From Whom All Blessings Flow!
AMEN.
