Are Your Challenges Ham-Fistedly Handling You!?!






Are You Being Personally Challenged 
Emotionally
Financially
Physically
Or Spiritually!?! 

Are You Handling The Challenge 
Or Is The Challenge Ham-Fistedly Handling You!?! 

Are You Being The Victor By The Grace Of God 
Or Are You Being A Victim 
Because 
You Are Forgetting Whose Child You Are 
And
Who You Are To And In Your Father!?! 

Beloved, 

If You Are Desirous Of A Pain-Free
Care-Free Existence As A Committed Child Of God
No Offense
But 
You Are Reading The Good Book Upside Down 
And 
Backward! 

Don't Feel Too Bad, Though
We've All Been There 
And 
Have Most Assuredly Done That! 

Let Us All Get Up
Dust Ourselves Off
Turn The Good Book Right Side Up 
And 
Start Reading It, Left To Right
Through The Eyes Of Faith Which Work By 
And 
Through Our Love For Our Lord Christ! 


Consider This ...

We Are Striving For Perfection 
On The Way To The Pearly Gates 
On Mount Zion 
And
Since It Is Impossible To Climb A Smooth Mountain
Let Us Let The Lord Lead
The Holy Spirit Comfort ... And Correct Us
The Holy Angels Protect 
And 
Influence Us To The Good And The Right 

And Then

Confidently Choose To Ever Remember That 
Our Father Is In Heaven 
And
Our Dear Savior Feels What We Feel 
And
Is Well Able To Comfort Us And Help Us! 

Our Victory Is In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Please Give Your Burden To The Lord:
 Pray! 

Be Strong In The Lord: 
Pray! 

Move By Faith: 
Pray! 

Trust Saving Truth: 
Pray
And
Unerringly Head For The Heavenly Home 
Praying ... Without Ceasing ... As You Go! 

Jesus Christ Overcame
So That We May Overcome:
He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace!

THE EARTHLY PILGRIMAGE: I Cry!

I Believe The Living Word Of The Holy God
And
In My Sojourn In The Vale Of Tears
And
In The Distress Of My Soul
I Cry:

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills
And
I Shall Ask The Question:

From Whence Does My Help Come!?!

And

In The Surety Of Oft' Answered Prayer
I Shall Answer My Own Question And Say:

2 My Help Cometh From The LORD, which made heaven and earth.

The Lord Is My Shepherd!

I Can Say Without Fear Of Contradiction
To Anyone Who Chooses To Believe That:

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved

And 
Assure You That
He Who keeps You Will Not slumber!

Behold, Brethren

I Am Telling You That

4 He that Keepeth Israel [The Israel Of God]
shall neither slumber nor sleep.

He Has No Pajamas, No Alarm Clock
And
He Can Never Be Caught Off-Side!

Understand This:

5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

And 
With Alacrity Accept That
He Will Not Let

6 The sun smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

He's Got Us Covered!
We've Got The Comforter, The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
We've Got Angelic Protection!

We Have On Offer The Great Salvation:
Please Do Not The Good Gift Refuse!
With Our Lives Entwined In Christ's
We Have Absolutely Nothing To Lose!

Friend, 

Please Take Hold Of The Promise
And 
Realize That

7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil!
He shall preserve Your soul.

Look, I Don't Mean To Be Rude
But
Buy A Free Clue:

8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and 
thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

I Encourage Us All
To Get With The Lord's Everlasting Life Plan
And
Become A Redeemed Human
And
In Your Lot ... In Highest Heaven
In Glory Land
Victoriously Stand!
Take The Extended-To-You-In-Mercy Hand!

What The Lord Jesus Christ
 Personally Has For You
Is Yours And Yours Alone:
Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus
Nor
Your Golden Crown Of Eternal Life!
Trust The Lord
And
Successfully Survive
The Mortal Strife!

A NEW SONG: In The Cross Of Christ I Glory!

In The Cross Of Christ, I Glory! 
In His Blessed Hand, I Am Inscribed! 
I Shall Walk The Walk Of Faith As One Victorious 
Because 
I Know That I'm In His Heart 
And 
Am The Apple Of His Eye!

In The Cross Of Christ, I Glory!
In His Truth, My Heart Knows Peace!
In His Rest, I Know Soul-Comfort
Because
He Is My Hope, My Help
And
My Blessed Relief: To Me, He Will Never Lie!

In My Jesus, The Lovely Jesus
I Am Alive And Soul-Satisfied!
He Is My Healer
My Leader
My Sealer
And
By His Dear Grace
I Shall Not Be Denied!

After God's Trumpet's Last, Loud, Blast
I Shall Stand Amazed, Victorious
On The Sparkling Sea Of Glass!
I Shall Live Forever In The Glorious Presence
Having Been Immortalized
Glorified
Rid, Rid, Finally, Of The Sordid Past!

(Repeat)
In The Cross Of Christ, I Glory! 
In His Blessed Hand, I Am Inscribed! 
I Shall Walk The Walk Of Faith As One Victorious 
Because 
I Know That I'm In His Heart 
And 
Am The Apple Of His Eye!

HAPPY SABBATH + Come Ye That Love The Lord ...!




It Is Time For All Of Us
Who Are Called Christians
AND
Who Are Fundamental
In Our Beliefs
To Get Truly Serious About The Truths Written 
In The Preserved Word Of God
In The King James Bible
AND
Prepare
- By God's Great Grace -
To Do Battle With Satan
That Known Deceitful 
AND
Surely Damned Fraud!

We Need To Get Behind Our Belief
AND
Stand Firm In Jesus Christ's Faith
AND
Move With Alacrity
Powered By Firm Conviction
To Show This Dying World
That A Victory Has Been Purchased For Us
AND
That We Know
That We Are In A Victor's Race!

Think For A Moment ...

What It Is That It Truly Means
When The Eternal God
Maker Of Heaven And Earth
Asked 
The Known And Branded Dragon:

Hast Thou Considered
My Servant Job?


AND

Consider
That There Is No Way
On God's Green Earth
That Job
- Without The Living God Being For Him - 
Could Win
In Any Match Against Satan!

Almighty God
Takes Cares Of His Own!
Trust Him!


We Need To Accept 
The Truth Of The Word Which Says:



Almighty God Knows
The Beginning From The End
ANDObviously
All Points Imaginable
Unimaginable
Known To Him
Unknown To Us
In Front Of
Next To
On Top Of
Behind
Under
AND
On The Compass
AND
He Knows Who Are His Faithful Children
Whose Names Will Be In Book
When The Roll Is Called!

Brethren,
For A Lack Of Fit Superlatives
I Shall Say That
We Have The Amazing Eternal
All-Seeing All-Knowing
Ever-Present
On Time Never Late
Can't Be Surprised
Never Fooled
Can't Be Ignored
Never Thwarted
Glorious God
For Savior Redeemer
Friend
Sustainer Provider
Sanctifier Justifier
Foundation
AND
Transporter
To Everlasting Delights!

When The Living God 
Permits 
Satan
To Have A Go At You
Be Strong In The Lord
AND
In The Power Of His Might
AND
Don't Charge God Foolishly
BUT
Retain The Integrity Of Your Living Faith
AND
- Supremely Confident In The Lord Christ -
Walk In The Shadow Of The Eternal's Wing
Praise The Lord From Whom All Blessings Flow
Sing The Song Of The Redeemed
AND
Keep Marching To Zion
As You Sound The Battle Cry Of

Victory In Jesus!


As You Pray The Promises Of God
AND
Rest 

In The Peace That Defies Human Understanding!

This Battle Is Not Ours!
This Battle Is The Lord's
AND
All We That Will Not Cast Away Our Confidence
Which Has The Sure Recompense
- The Sure Payment -
Of Reward
Must Wait
Must Wait
Must Wait ... Patiently
For The Harvest Of The Earth
After Which
Is Our Day Of Celebration!

Please, Brethren  ...

Pray For Spiritual Eyes!
Pray For Spiritual Ears!
Pray For The Heart Of Flesh!
Pray For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit!
Pray For And Expect The Protection
Of The Holy Angels
AND
Be Not Careful How You Speak Of
AND
Stand For The Lord
When You Stand In God's Truth!

The Furnace Had The Son Of God!
The Lions' Den Had Angelic Lion-Controllers!
The Boiling Oil Ain't Had No Heat
AND
Even If You're Dying
Like Stephen
Your Comfort Is Jesus Christ Victorious
Next To The Father On That Glorious Throne
Wherefrom None Can Him Unseat!

A Strong Tower
In A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God!
He Made Us All!
He Calls The Shots
AND NOTLying Satan
That Unregenerate Fraud!

Oh, Child Of The King
Look Up
Believe And Live
For
The King Of Love
- Our Good Shepherd -
Paid With His Own Life
An Imperishable Aka Eternal Life For Us
To Win
By Acceptance And Obedience
Love And Trust
AND
Enduring Faith And Hope!

Lead, Kindly Light
Your Trembling Children In This Battle!
Lead, Shepherd Dear
Your Once Lost Sheep Safely Home!
Oh, King Of Love
Let Blessed Grace And Mercy
Be Our Forever Companions
As We Faithful
- Abiding In The Secret Place -
Use Fervent Instant Constant Prayer
As Our Royal Telephone!


Come Soon, Lord!
We Desire The Comfort Of
The Forever Home
For
We Want To Joyfully See
In Peace
The Marred Marked Face
Of
The Beloved Christ
Who
- As The Pascal Lamb -
For Our Sin
Did Willingly Atone!



Brethren,

Trust God For ...  All Things He Knows!
Trust God And ... Grow!
Trust God And In Faith
Obey
AND
All Things Endure
AND
To Heaven
- At The Last Trumpet -
We, Overcoming Believers
Shall Exulting
Go!

Almighty God
Already Knows
That In The Faith Of Jesus
You Shall Overcome
So ... Live Like The Winner
That The Almighty Knows
That In Him
You Will Be!
Trust The Word, Brethren!
Trust The Word!

The Morning Of Bliss Is In Our View!

The Surrogates For Satan
Are In The Operational Mode Earth Conservancy
Never Considering
Totally Ignoring
Desperately Despising
The Eternal God's Sovereignty
AND
Corralling People Into Small Spaces
Igniting Firestorms Of Evil In Their Midst
AND
Encouraging Them To Kill Each Other
So That "The Once Dying Now Man-Saved Earth" 
Will Give The Celebrated
Illuminated
An Image Of  Perfection And Bliss!

God Destroyed The Earth Before With Water!
This Go Around It Is Reserved For Fire
AND
There Is Nothing That The Devil And His Imps Can Do
- By Themselves
Nor By Man's Hand -
That Will Cause The Earth
Early To Expire!

The Lord Made A Promise To His People
A Promise  Signed Off On In Innocent Blood
That He Is Coming For His Elect
- At God's Perfectly Known And Appointed Time -
To Take Them Us To His Home
In Heaven Above!
God Is Faithful!
He, To Us, Is Love!

Just As When The Lord Was In Mount Sinai
AND
The Earth Shook And Convulsed
In His Presence
The Closer That The World Gets
To The Lord's Second Return
All Nature Convulsing
Is What We Can Expect!


The Lord In Zion Reigneth!
Oh, Let His People Rejoice!
Acknowledge
The Sure And Plain Signs
Of
His Soon Coming
And
Don't Let Doubters Stay
Your Rejoicing Voice!

Sing Of God's Grace!
Christ Is Coming In Glory!
Sing Of The Homeward Bound Train!
Sing A Joyful Hallelujah!
Sing It, Brethren Faithful!
Sing It!
Again, And Again!


Rejoice! The Lord Is King!
The Devil's Days Are Numbered Few!
Our Sorrow Has Had Its Night Of Weeping
But, Praise God
The Morning Of Bliss
Is In Our Upward View!

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul
With All Your Being!
Salvation Is Coming On The Wing!
The Hosts Of Heaven Are Coming
AND
We Shall Be Celebrating Our Victory
With Our Glorious King!

Sin Death Hell And Satan
Are Already Defeated
So
Walk Firmly As One Taking The Victory Lap!
Walk Boldly As One Beckoned
To The Glorious King's Presence
ACKNOWLEDGING
That Our Victory Is Of The Holy God!



Give Nothing To Satan
That Condemned
And
Damned
Prosperity-Benighting
Fraud!

WAR!

The Enemy Of The Soul
 Is Ever
On The Battle Field!



The People Of God
- Amongst Whom Were
The Fearful
The Unbelieving
The Unwilling To Face Danger
AND
The Unwilling To Face Hardship -
Were Called Upon To Wage War!

All Answering
Had Willingly Answered The Call
BUT
The Eternal God Saw That 
They Were Too Many!

Many Were Filled With Self-Pride
AND
Real Doubt
AND
Would Not To The Army Add Strength
So God Almighty 
The All-Seeing God
The All-Knowing God
The Ever-Present God
- By Trial -
Weeded Them Out!

32,000 Men Had Answered The Call
BUT
- Not Even A Tithe -
Only A Remnant
Showed Their Battle-Readiness
Their Faith
Their Vigilance
AND
Were Chosen
By The Great God Himself
To Take To The Field Of Battle
On That Momentous Day!

The Chosen 
- 300 -
Were
Men Of Faith
Men Of Courage
Men Who Did Not - In Idolatry - Bend The Knee
Men Who Did Not
In Time Of Danger
Seek After Satisfaction
For Their Personal Need!
These Were Men Who Could Be Trusted
In Any Emergency!

They Were The Faithful
The Few
The Chosen
Who Trusted In God
AND
They Were Men Of Prayer!
They Were Men Who Could Be Used
AND
Who Could Be Directed!
These Were The Ones
Who Were Set Apart!
These Men Chosen Were True Men Of Character!
For God  ...They Had The Heart!

Everyone Else Was Sent Home
For The Battle
AND
The Victory 
Were To Be God's!
God's Alone!

Each Chosen Man
Was Given A Trumpet
AND
A Torch
Hidden In A Clay Pot
AND
Truth Be Told
This Is Pertinent To Us Today ...

Man Is A Clay Pot
In Whom
- IF WILLING -
Is Found
The Light Of The Light Of Life
AND
The Trumpet Of God
AND
Those Who Are Faithful
AND
Willing To Be Used Of The Lord
Will
- Through Jesus Christ -
Break Out Of Sin
AND
Let Their Lights Shine
AND
Let Their Voices Sound The Trumpet Call Of
The Present Truth
For
This Dying World
So That Listening Men
- Harkening To The Truth -
Will Not For Their Own Sin
Have To Pay!
That Will Be The Win-Win!

These 300 Men
Were Divided Into Three Groups
Coming From Three Directions
Which ... I Shall Say
Speak For
The Father God Ever Before Us
Jesus Christ Interceding For Us
AND
The Holy Spirit
- Unseen -
Working In The Darkness
Teaching Helping Comforting Chiding Us
So That We Will Assay
To Do The Right
AND
Walk
The Straight And Narrow Way!
This Is Not Play-Play!

What Do YOU For Your Self Say?!

Brethren,
It Requires Blind-Eyed Faith
Full Surrender
AND
Willful Obedience
To Be A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord Christ!

Where Do You Stand?!
How Will YOU Stand?!
Will You Stand?!
Will You Trust In The Coming Son Of God
The Savior Of Man?!

I Beseech You
Take The Proffered Hand
Trust The Man
And  ... Valiantly Fight
For Truth
And In The Great Day
Victoriously Stand!




War Against God's Truth Is Being Waged!
Are You Geared
For The Spiritual Fight?
Will You Stand In The Breaches?
Will You Stand
Against Carnal Flesh
And ... Valiantly Fight?

HAPPY SABBATH + BATTLES! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Grant Us Peace!






Strong Man Was Proof Against Witchcraft!
Strong Man Was Valiant In War
BUT
Strong Man Was Humbled By
That Harlot
Who Used Her Wiles
As Specified By Dark Lorde!

First Thing ...

I Should Tell You
That
Dark Lorde Is Older Than The Hills
AND
Dark Lorde Hates Creator God
AND
Dark Lorde Had Set Up Himself
As Adversary
Accuser
Beguiler
Enticer
Tempter
Aider And Abettor
AND
Tormentor Especial
Against N. E. Body
Who Dares Side With Creator God
AND
Thereby
Eschews Walks ... On The Dark Lorde Side!

I Should Also Tell You That ...

Creator God
Is Also
Maintainer
Sustainter
Provider
Abider
Savior
Redeemer
AND
Friend
To N. E. Body
AND
Who Soever Will
That Confesses The Name
Confesses Their Sin
Repents Of The Sin Committed
AND
- Holding The Gift aka Faith -
Chooses To Walk With And To Him
For Love
AND
In
Obedience!

They Are Called ... Collectively
The Faithful Few
AND
They've All Got Eternal-Life Tickets
For
Faithfulness Unto Life's Journey's End!

The Perks Are Off The Chain Glorious
- That Is The Promised Truth -
For
It Has Not Entered Into The Heart
Of N. E. Body
Nor
Into The Ear Of Who Soever Will
What Creator God Has Prepared
For Those Who Love Him
AND
In That Love
Overcome Dark Lorde!

Bub?!

Yes, Friend?!

Don't Forget To Tell Every Body
AND
N. E. Body
That Dark Lorde Tempted
Tormented
AND
Succeeded
In Having The King's Only Son Killed
AND
Buried
BUT
That He Got Up
AND
Rose Up
AND
Returned To His Father's House
AND
By So Doing
Has Conquered Dark Lorde
- He Bruised Up That Wicked Head -
AND
Swallowed Up
Sin
Death
AND
Old Hell
In A Once And For All
VICTORY!

Friend?!

Yes, Bud?!

I Ain't Got To Remember To Tell The People The Story!

Why Not?!

You Just Told It To Them
AND
It Was A Good Job Indeed!

Oh, My!
I Guess I Did!

Now ... Back To The Big Picture ...

Dark Lorde
Trained
That Harlot
AND
Her Lot
To Use
Uh, Ahhhm, Uhm
Their Ample Charms
Their Pretty Faces
Their Luscious Scents
Their Mincing Steps
Their Gyrating Hipses ...!

Ahem, Ahem!
You Messed Up A Wee Spot, Bud!

Really?!
Let's See ...
I Mentioned Scents Steps
Faces Charms Hipses ...!
Oh, My!
I Must Have Been Fo ...!
Forgive Me!

Forgiven!

Well ...

That Harlot
AND
Her Lot
In Fit 
Painted Scented
AND Gyrating Fettle
- With Extreme Malice -
After Much Devil-Inspired Thought
Have Humble Many Called
Strong Man
By Making Them Elevate
Who Is Not Big Head!

Battles Have Been Lost!
Wars Have Been Lost!
Homes Have Been Wrecked!
Kingdoms Have Been Lost
AND
Irreplaceable Souls Of
Rich Poor
Free Bond
King And Prince
Have Been Lost
By Dining At Tables
Neither Round Square Nor Oblong
That Cannot Hold Anything
Called A Dinner Plate!

THAT... Is Sad!

And Then Some!

Such A Terrible Fate!
Do You Know
That Down At HIS Temple
- Only Last Week -
For The Self-Same Sin
Fada Seckse Was Unfrocked?!

I Heard
BUT
What Is Most Troubling
Is That That Harlot
AND
Her Lot
Are Moving Around
Like A Grazing Cattle Herd!

Lord, Protect And Save Your Children!

Question For You :
Who Where When Why ...
Of What Does This Remind You?!

Israelites!
Border Of The Promised Land!
Greedy Treacherous Balaam Advising
Evil King Balak To Use Midianite Harlots
To Indulge In Idolatry
AND
Sexual Perversion
To Entice Said Israelites
To Forsake
The True Living
All-Seeing All-Knowing Ever Present Creator God
AND
To Incur His Jealous Wrath!

It Worked Better Than
Any Curse
Any Withcraft
Any Battle
AND
24,000 Men Lost Their Lives!

How Sad ...!
And It Is Still Happening!

I Guess
Or Rather
I Know That Dark Lorde
Has Perfected His Skills
AND
As We Get Closer
To The Great Day
The Day Of The Only Son
Dark Lorde
Is Going To Be Ratcheting Up His Efforts
AND
That Harlot
AND
Her Lot
Will Not Be Any Prisoners Taking!

I Know What You Mean!
We Need Help! Badly!

Well ...

That's What Dee Word
AND
Let's Pray Are For
So Let Us Indulge Ourselves!

Your Choice:
Inside Outside Or Car?!

Anywhere Where No One
Can Our Needful Peace Mar!

I Hear You!

PRAYER:

Lord, God Almighty
Faithful And True
We Are
Your Faithful,Trusting, Children
And
We Sincerely Need You!

Grant Us Your Grace
We Who Are Inside The Safe Fence!
Protect Us
And
Keep Us In Your Care
So That
- To You -
We Will Not Cause Spiritual Offence!

Pity, Lord
The Brethren
Caught Us In Temporal Intrigue
And
Grant Them The Spirit
To Respond To Your Holy Spirit
So That
For Them
This Life Is Not
The End!

Pity Us Who Care!
Pity Us Who Pray!
Pity Us In Your Mercy
For, Lord
We Hold You In Godly Fear!

Grant Us Peace
And
Sweet Rest
And
Faith For The Day
So That We Shall Stand!
This, Lord
Is Our Humble
Our Fervent Prayer
And
We Pray All
In The Name Of The Beloved
Your Precious Son
The Holy Son Of Man!

We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Victory In Jesus: Trust The Word! + Prayer: Lord, Guide Us!


Brethren,
Please Draw Nigh!


All Ye That Love
The Lord Of Life
Have No Reason
- By Reason Of Faith -
At The Injustices Done
To Yourselves To Cry!


Let Us Bless God
For Truth And Light
And Let Us Live Our Lives
So That He In Us Will Find Delight!


Easy For You To Say!

Easier Said Than Done!

Brethren, No!
She Speaks The Truth!
We Need To Think Vertically!
Think Of The Two Yutes!


Yutes?!

Young Ones!

Who Are These Young Ones
We Need To Think Of?!


Brethren,
Who Were The Two Young Men
Who Championed The God Of Heaven
Even In The Midst Of Sorrow And Seeming Disgrace?!


I Know, I Know!
Joseph And Daniel!

Check!
These Young Men
Did Not Stand On Ceremony!


Joseph Did Not Take The Bait
Against His God
To Commit Adultery!


Daniel Walked Upright
In His Integrity
Not Permitting
The Machinations Of The Minions
To Stop Him
From Saying His Daily Prayers
To The God Of All Creation

AND
Before That
He Chose Not To Defile Himself
By Eating Drinking
Swine And Wine!

Both Of These Noble Men
Were By Very Evil
Set Upon
BUT GOD ...!
But God What?!

Question For You ...

Did God
A. Stop Joseph's Brethren From Trying To Kill Him
B. From Selling Him Into Slavery
C. From Potiphar's Wife Trying To Seduce Him
D. From His Being Wrongfully Accused
E. From His Being Cast Into Prison
F. From His Being Forgotten By The Baker
G. From His Languishing In Prison?


No, No, No, No ... On All Counts!
On The Issue Of Daniel:

Did Daniel's Unyielding Faith And Trust
In The Holy God
Stop Him From:


A. Being Carried Into Babylonian Captivity
B. Being Confronted With The Unclean Diet Of The King
C. Being Targeted By Jealous, Wicked, Men
D. Being Spied Upon
E. Being Caught In The Web Of Evil And Deceit
F. Being Arrested
G. Being Tried
H. Being Condemned
I. Being Cast Into A Den Of Hungry Lions
J. Spending His Entire Life As A Captive
K. Being A Captive Even Though It Was In  Gilded Cage?


A Thousand Times ... No!
But, Why?!

It Seems Kinda Unfair
Rewarding Devotion And Fidelity 

With Red Torment!

Red Torment! I Like That!
What Does Mean?!

Everyday Torment Is Black
No Chance Of Being Killed ...!


... So Red Torment Means
Life On The Line
High Possibly Of Bloodshed
Leading To Death!


You've Got It In One!

Yes!! 

Almighty God
- Our Lord -
Could Have 

STOPPEDJoseph From Being Set Upon By His Brethren
From Being Cast Into A Dry Well
From Being Sold As A Slave
From Being Separated From His Beloved Father!


Sounds A Lot Like Jesus, Doesn't It?!

It Should Make Us Think!

Almighty God
Could Have ...!


... He Didn't!

... But Didn't Stop
Daniel From Being The Flint
That Lit
The Dried Out Straw Of Raw Jealousy!


Think For A Moment
On True-Hearted Abel!
Moses In The River Nile!
Moses' 40 Years In The Training School Of God Before
The 40 Years Wilderness Experience!


Sad ...!
He Didn't Enter The Earthly Promised Land!

Rejoice ...!
 Before His Body Saw Corruption
Jesus As Michael Took Him
- After Rebuking Satan -
To The Heavenly Promised Land!


Take A Look Also
At Moses' Successor Joshua!
IF Ever There Is A Lesson For Us
It Is That!


What On Earth Do You Mean?
What Happened Just Before
The Big Battle Of Joshua's Career?


Do You Mean Before Jericho?!

Exactly!

He Had A Confrontation
With "The Unknown!"


And ...?!

He Uttered The Challenge:

"Are You For Us Or For Them?!"

And ...?!

The Response Was Swift
AND
All Of God's Children
Should Take It To Heart
AND
Raise The Standard Of Truth
The Pennant Of Faith
High
No Matter What It Is
With Which We Are Confronted!



Remove Your Shoes!
You Are On Holy Ground!
The Captain Of Heaven's Hosts
Is Here!
Stand Firm!
Listen To 
And
Do Exactly What I Say
Your Victory Over Sin Shall Appear!


Jericho Is Synonymous With Sin!
The Captain Of Heavens Hosts
ISThe Eternal
Christ Jesus!
Shoes Off On Holy Ground
IS

Nothing Between
You And God's Word

You And Christ!

When You Are Rooted And Grounded
You Will Stand Firm
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Against
The Thick And High Walls
Of The Devil's City Of Sin!


Did Joshua Believe?
Did Joshua Take Heed?
Did Joshua Execute
On The Word Of Preparation Given By The Lord?
Did Joshua Fight Valiantly?
Did Joshua - In The Name Of The Holy God -
Defeat The Citadel Of Satan?
Did Joshua Claim
AND
Inhabit
The Promised Land
The Great Reward?!


Indeed He Did!

Praise God For Grace And Coming Glory!

Brethren,
Don't Start Rejoicing Just Yet
For
In Every Lesson
There Is A Tale Of Caution!


The Cautions Today
Are Two!
In Joshua ... Remember Achan
Who
Though A Citizen
Of The Household Of God
Trusted Himself To Provide
His Own Financial Security
AND
Gave Up Sure Paradise
For The Lie
Which Lies In
The Goodly Babylonian Garment
- The Lies Of The Father Of Lies -
AND

The Perishable
Silver On Top Of Gold
Which Must
From Detection
Must Be Hidden
Under The Desert Sand Floor Boards!


Nasty!

That's Just Wrong!

Better Off Waiting For The Fulfillment Of The Promise!
Do You Know What Happens
To Those Who Would Be
God's Traffic Director?!


Lots Are Cast Against Them
Aka They Are Found Out
And They Are Denounced
For Troubling The Camp Of God
And Are Condemned
And Are Led Outside
The Camp Of The Righteous!


AND ...?!


And They Are Summarily Destroyed!

He Shouldn't Have Touched The Unclean Thing!
He Should Have Stood Firm
Just Like Daniel!


Achan Should Have Awaited
God's Appointed Crown Of Glory ...!


... And Could Have
- Like Joseph -
Saved Many
From The Congregation Of The Righteous
From The Strangers' Realm
Giving Them The Bread Of Salvation
So That For The Kingdom
Hungering Souls
May Be To Satisfaction
Be Completely Fed!


This Is Interesting!

We Started With Joseph And Daniel
AND

We Are Finishing The Same Way
Giving Credence
To The Truth Of The Word Of God:


Line Upon Line
Precept Upon Precept
Here A Little
There A Little!


The Hid Treasure Is Revealed
IF 

We Will
Trust The Living God
With Our Living

ANDOur Lives To Lead!
So ...

With That Said
What Have You Learnt Today?


Walk By Faith!
Don't Trust Your Eyesight!

Wisdom Builds A Sure House!
Don't Lean On Your Own Understanding!

Almighty God Is The Sure Foundation!

Goodly Babylonian Garments
And Stolen Hidden Silver And Gold 

Do Not Build A Prosperous House
Or Lead To Longevity!


Wait On The Lord!
Trust God And Grow!
Father Knows Best!

Eyesight And Hindsight
Are Not Equal
To The All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
Foresight
Foreknowledge
Of The Eternal God!


Those Are All Very Good Answers!
You Surely Have Been Studying!
Well Done!

Brethren Beloved,
Stand Firm In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

AND
For The Truth
Be Ye Old Or Youth!


Jesus Christ Is The Sure Foundation!
Trust Him At His Word
All The Time
AND
More Particularly

When You Can't See
How Why When Where If
To Sit Stand
Or Walk Run
Or Just Go!


The Righteous Are Never Forsaken!
The Wilfull And Unrighteous
- With Deliberation -
Committedly Forsake God
AND
Receive Into Themselves
Greedy-For-Gain's Just-Condemnation Award!


Any Last Words?

Don't Do A Lucifer
And Take The Adversary Of God Role
For
You Will Be As Satan
And
The Lake Of Fire, Then
Will Be Your Goal!


Well Said!

Let's Pray:

Thank You, God

For Truth And Light!
Let Us In Your Word Delight!
Teach Us
Feed Us
And
Day By Day
Guide Us
So That From Your Living Truth
We Will Never Stray!


Bless Us To Do Your Will

This Day
And
Keep Us Safe
Forever In Your Care
In Jesus' Holy Name, We Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Haste The Glad Day Of Redemption!
We See Our Need! 
AMEN!
