HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Die Twice Today Over Living Tomorrow!








The Trials Of Life 
Either Make Us Bitter Or Better! 
We, Each, Have Option And Opportunity 
To Make The Blessed Choice! 

Trials Help Us To Either Live For The Lord Christ 
Or Be Consumed By The Crisis! 
We Either Live In Hope Or Dine In  Hell! 
Or ... They Will Strengthen Us In Our Gift Of Faith 
Or Strangle Our Desire To Exercise Faith 
Because
By Elevating Doubt, We Can't, In Hope
"See" Jesus Inside The Great Pearl Gates! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Be Self-Sufficient 
Because 
In Matters Of Faith 
It Is Your Worst Enemy! 

Please Cast Your Burden Upon The Lord Christ 
And
Permit Him To Be Your Sufficiency! 

Letting Go ... Of Personal Control
And 
Letting Our Jesus Christ Take Over Control 
Requires A Leap Of Faith 
No "Safety Net" Available! 

Can You Do It!?! 
Will You Do It!?! 
Or Will You By Seeking To Impress Others With 
Your Able Capabilities Which Aren't Worth A Hill Of Beans 
Fail At Working Your Gift Of Unfailing Faith!?! 

"Worry" About What You Can Change 
And 
If You Change "It" 
Then There Is No Need To Die Twice Today 
Over Living Tomorrow 
Which Is Not Promised To Any Living Soul! 

The Point Is That Our Jesus 
Is 
Jehovah Jireh Aka The God Who Provides! 

Please Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Hold On To Him Who Holds Tomorrow In His Holy Hand 
Where The Forever-Blessed Gift Of Grace ... Of Power
Is 
Sufficient For The Day! 

Be At Peace In The Living God: 
Evil Cannot Survive In His Hallowed Presence! 

Peace!

BE AT PEACE: Unfailing Truth Lights The Day!

Brethren,

Isn't It About Time That
You Cast Your Every Care On The King!?!
Isn't It About Time For Us 
To Engagingly Sit 
And
Be Enraptured With And By The Lord!?!

Jesus Christ ... The Way Maker
The Only One Righteous
Cares For 
And 
Feels Everything That Concerns Us
And
We Would All Do Well 
To Take A Page Out Of The Book
Belonging To Lazarus And Martha's Sister, Mary
Who Choose The Best Portion
- To Learn About Jesus Christ The Lord -
Which Portion Jesus Said That 
He Would Not Take Away From Her!

Worry Won't Make You Tall
And
Being Anxious Won't Change The Color Of Your Hair
But
Worry And Anxiety Will Most Assuredly
Cause You To Cease From Abundant Living
Sooner Than Any Disease That Afflicts Us!


Worry And Anxiety
- Which The Lord Asks Not To Indulge -
 Illustrates A Lack Of Faith
Which Is Doubt!
Doubting The Lord Christ Is Sin!
Use The Gift Of Faith
Which You Are Daily Given!




Pin on God our Saviour




If We Never Needed The Lord Before
We Starkly See That We Need Him Today
And 
In All Facets Of Our Lives! 

Blessedly
The Only One That We Need
- Who Provides For Our Every Need -
In All Stages And Phases Of Life
Says: 

"Come ... And ... Find!
Take ... Learn ... And Rest!" 

Because 
He Who Says The Word 
Has The Power To Provide 
And 
The Provision To Satisfy 
Believer And Unbeliever Alike! 

We Who Choose To Believe The Living Word 
Are Doubly Blessed: 
We Know That He Who Promises Will Deliver 
And 
From Experience
We Can Hold Out Our Hands To Receive "The Lil' Berry" 
The Blessing For The Day That His Ravens ... His Servants
Will Surely Deliver! 

We Wait On The Lord Without Anxiety 
Because 
We Rest In His Unfailing Truth 
And 
Undeniable Grace! 

The Grace Of God
Is More Than Enough:
Because
It Is Sufficient For Us!

Brethren, Beloved

Believe
Trust And Obey The Call
And 
Rest In Your Blessing! 
Jesus Christ ... Our Soon-Returning King
He That Is The Way, The Truth, The Light
And
The Life Of Every Man, Woman And Child
Sacrificially, Infinitely, Personally, Loves You!
I Know That He Loves Me, Too!


Truth Lights The Day!
Be At Peace: Believe The Word
And
Persistently, Insistently, Pray!

ONLY ONE JESUS CHRIST: The Personal Savior!





You Have A Savior
- The Savior -
Who Is Your Best Friend
And
Your Personal Savior
And
Your Personal, Private, Guide 
To Almighty God's Eternal Life!
You Know, Life Without End!

Let No Thing
No Person
No Bad Habit
No Pet Sin
No Personal Demon
No Adversary Known
Get In Between Your Purchased Soul
And
Your Loving Savior!
Your Savior Is Here, Personally, For You!

Your Savior Loves You ... Sacrificially
And
It Is His Desire That You Trust Him
Because
You Believe His Love For You Is Really Real
And
You Love Him In Return
No Holding Back: He Gave His All
- His Very Life's Blood -
To Save You ... Personally!

I Understand What You Are Saying
But Why Do You Keep Stressing On The Word 
"Personally!?!"

Beloved,
I Do That So That You Will Understand That
The Relationship Is Intimate
Consensual
Committed
Spiritual ... Not Carnal!

When Your Master Is Your Savior
Your Creator, Lord
Your Best Friend
Your Provider
Your Sustainer
The Omnipotent, Omniscient
Omnipresent, Omnipathic
True And Living Holy, Eternal, One God
You Must ... You Will ... Realize It By Plain Evidence
- Never Force -
And
Accept The Plain Truth By Working Faith

For Love
And
Reach For The Extended Hand
That Shall Lead You ... By His Grace
Out Of The Degraded Life Of
The Spiritual Disgrace!

By Grace ... I Am Saved! 

We Will Stand Before The Lord ... Clean! 

I May Appear Before The Throne Of Grace ... Boldly!
By Faith, I Shall See Him Face To Face!
I Shall See Him As He Is
Just As He Sees Me!
It's Quite Amazing, Actually!

Almighty God 

Is 
The Consuming Fire To Those That Live For Sin
But
Because Of Our Faith, Love
Our Willing Obedience ...!


... Our Overcoming-Endurance ...!


... Our Steadfast Walking In Wisdom

And
Our Choosing Salvation Over Known Sin
At The Time Appointed Time 

We Shall Be Able To Approach Unto Him Physically
And 
Not Be Consumed!

Do You Realize That His Daily Gift Of Faith To You
To Me ... To Us
When Diligently Worn
And
Conscientiously Worked
Renders Us Fire-Proof!?! 


Twice!


What On Earth Are You Talking About!?!

Satan Has Fiery Darts
Usable Only In This Vale Of Tears!

All Of Satan's Darts Are Useable And Fiery!
He Uses Them Strategically!
He Desires To Cause Us To Forget That
Our God Is Able
So That We Will Bale Out On The Truth
That In Christ Jesus We May Trust
And
He Can Throw Us Under The Bus
Manufactured By His Base Lies
Wrapped In Shimmering Sable
And 
We Are Left At Sea
No Boat, No Bucket, No Submarine
Sold Out To Sin At The "I" Sale
And
Robbed Of The Blessed Opportunity
- If We Are Recalcitrant, Unrepentant -
Of Receiving Of The Eternal God
His Everlasting Life Seal! 

Trust In The Lord Forever:
In The Lord Is Everlasting Strength!
Be Wise: Walk, Work, Wait
And
Don't Indulge In Sinful Worry!

Watch, Brethren
And 
Be Instant, Be Constant, In Heartfelt Prayer! 


Jesus Christ Our Lord
Will Not Despise
A Broken And Contrite Heart:


Believe ... And Live!

Happy In Jesus Christ!

I'm Trying To Walk 
The Straight And Narrow But I Keep Stumbling!
I Don't Want To Stumble Or Fall Short Of His Glory 
And Being Able To See His Face On Judgement Day!

Sheldene, I Know That You Believe That 
Christ Is The Answer
So When You Fall
Just Get Back Up, Confess Your Sin, Repent
And
Ask The Lord ... By His Holy Spirit
To Help You Not To Do The Same Sin Again!

We Are Flesh
But

Praise The Eternal God
Jesus Christ Saves!

Jesus Was Tempted In The Flesh Just As We Are
But
Did Not Sin
Because
Jesus Knew The Word
And
The Power Of The Word! 

His Response To The Wiles Of Satan Was

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

Jesus Trusted The Word
And
He Believed The Promises Therein Given!


Jesus Christ Is The Word ... Made Flesh!

Lady Shel, If You Do Not Stand Firmly In Your Faith In Jesus
And
Rebuke Satan Soundly
The First Time You Are Tempted To Do Wrong
You Will Fall
And
Each Successive Temptation For The Same Sin

Will Be Harder To Ignore
When You Meet It In Your Own Strength!

The Lord Loves You, Personally
And 

Desires To Save You, Personally!
He Has Promised That 
When We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
And
Will Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!

Listen To The Words Of The Shepherd-King David
Pleading Passionately With The Lord!


KJV Psalms 51
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, 
according to thy lovingkindness: 
according unto the multitude of 
thy tender mercies 
blot out my transgressions.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; 
and take not thy holy spirit from me.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; 
that the bones which 
thou hast broken may rejoice.




Listen Also To The Apostle John
Pleading With His Christian Children 
To Walk Right Before The Lord:





Jesus Christ Was Made Sin
Surety And Security For Us! 


Lean On His Love For You And You Will Be Okay!


However, Dear Lady, 
Let Me Warn You:

To Deliberately Commit Sin
Knowing It Is Wrong
Is
To Commit The Sin Of Presumption
And
That Is To Tread On Dangerous Ground
Walking Willfully Outside Of 

The Lord's Hedge Of Protection!

Presumption Places You On The Devil's Turf
And
If You Do That You Will Be Sorry!


I Am Encouraging You To Commit Your Life
Your Walk, Your Work
Your Thoughts And Your Actions
To The Lord
And
Permit Him To Have His Way With You!


Forward Ever, Backward Never ...

Don't Do A Lady Lot And Look Back At "The Good Times!"
They Were Never Good To Begin With
And
Don't Envy Anyone Their "Prosperity!"


There Is No Eternal Prosperity Without Jesus Christ!
TRUST HIM!


The Lord 
Is 
Right Now In The Most Holy Place Of 
The Heavenly Sanctuary
In Front Of His Father And Ours
- As High Priest ... Mediator -
Interceding For You And For Me!


Beloved,
I Understand Your Concerns

And
I Beseech You, Please
Don't Indulge Ungodly Worry When You Have Been Given
By The Creator Of The Universe
The Privilege Of Praying To His Father
In His Holy Name!


Think ... Meditate 
On This Salutation To The Brethren
From John The Beloved, Seriously:






Sufficient Grace
Free Mercy
Perfect Peace
Absolute Truth
And 
Amazing Love
Display To Us The Character Of The Holy God 
And 
Our Infinite Gift From Heaven Above!

Brethren, Beloved,

If There Is Ever A Time To Indulge Lust And Greed
It Is For These Precious Gifts 

Expansively Given Unto Us 
Through The Eternal God's Sacrificial Love!

You, Me, We Are Blessed Indeed
So Let's Start Living Like We Truly Believe It!
Utilize Your Gift Of Peace Today!


Jesus Christ's Gift Of Peace To Us
Surpasses Human Understanding!

Thank You All For Sharing!

All I Can Honestly Say
Is That I Am Blessed 
And I Truly Know It
And Understand It ... Now!

May The Lord Watch Over You
And Keep You Safe In His Loving Care!

AMEN!!!

ALMIGHTY GOD IS GOOD: Why Are You Worrying!?!





Worry, Worry, Worry!

Worry, Worry, Cry!
Worry, Worry, Wander
Sleepless With Worry Lie!
Keep This Up, My Worry-Wart Friends
And
From Unchecked Worry
You Shall Surely Die!

You Have a Choice, My Brother
My Sister
Worry A Lot
Or
Worship ... And Worry Not!

A Worrier Does Not Worship
And
The Worshipper Worries Not
Because
He Has Taken The Lord At His Revealed Word
And
He Has Given His Worry To His Lord
And
From Himself
Has Given Worry The Blot!

That's Real Easy For You To Say
Who Never Seems To Have Anything
To Worry About!

Exactly!

Excuse Me!?!

I Never Have Anything To Worry About 
Because
I Believe In, Love, Trust
Honor, Worship
And
I Obey ... The Word Of The Lord
Who, Himself, To Us Did Say:



And, For Good Measure
He Added On A Lil' Something Extra
Just For Us To Treasure!

He Loves To Give Good Gifts, You Know!
He Gave Us An "And"
Which Means Bread-Kind Aka Inclusions
- To Get Your Teeth Into -
Are In The Soup Pot
And
Not Just Water And Flavorings:




I Could Use A Good Dose Of Peace
Just About Now!

Do You Believe The Word Of The Lord Or Not!?!

I Do, But ...!

You Don't And ...!

... Why Do You Have To Be So, So, So ...!?!

... Direct!?!

Yes! So Direct!?!
Can't You Feel For A Brother In Distress!?!

For An Unbeliever, Yes!
For A Professed Christian, No!

Whaaat!?!
Where's Your Christian Charity!?!

It's Right Where I Left It
For Someone Who Truly Needs It!
That's Not You Two!?!

Come On, Richie!
You're Being Awful Harsh On Them!

I Know I Am Being Harsh
But
Somebody Needs To Do It!
This Pity Party Has Been Going On Long Enough
And
Every Time It Shows Up
It Is Always Playing The Same Tune:

Woe Is Me!
I Am Undone!

Time To Unbox
The Gift Of Daily Faith ...

To Undo Your Undoneness
Take The Living God At His Living Word
And
Live By The Living Word
And
Your Life Will Be Truly Livable!

Guys, I Love You!
You Know That I Truly Do
But
I Am Not Going To Indulge You In Sin!
You Are Doubting The Word Of God
And
We All Know That Doubt Is Sin!

Isn't It Time You Actually Start
Believing In The Power Of The Lord God Almighty
And
Stop Uttering Platitudes That
Don't Even Benefit You!?!

Either The Word Of God Is True
Or
It Is Not!

Either You Believe That
The Lord Will Do What He Says He Will Do
And
Enjoy The Peaceful Life
Or You Will Doubt 
And 
Be A Walking Dead!

There Is No Middle Ground!
Either God Can Or He Can't!
He Can't Do Both!

The Eternal Word Says That
Nothing Is Impossible ... When
You Put Your Trust In God!
Do You Trust The Lord!?!

Of Course, I Do!?!

Are You Trusting The Lord In Your Present Situation!?!

Without Hesitation
I Can Truly Say, No, We Are Not ...!

... We've Been Trusting What We Can See
And It Has Not Been A Blessing!

So, Don't You Think It Is Time
To Stop Doing Things Your Way
And
Start Doing Things According To
The Word 
And 
The Ways Of The Eternal God!

Richie, I'll Be Honest:
That's Easier Said Than Done!

That's For Sure!

What Do You Mean!?!

You Said That You Trust The Lord Always!

I Sure Do
But
There Was A Time When I Thought I Knew
More Than The Lord Who Made Me
More Than The Lord Who Provides For Me
More Than The Lord Who Died To Save Me
More Than The Lord Who Promised 
"Never To Leave Me Or Forsake ME!?

I Was Trusting My Eyes, My Feelings!
And
Listening And Internalizing What I Heard
And
I Believed The Lies Of The Adversary!
I Had Started To Tread On Dangerous Ground!

Can You Explain That!?!

Sure!
Book Of James!
I Was Like A Wave
Driven By The Wind And Tossed
Until The Day That I Had Had Enough Of
Not Receiving Anything From The Lord!





I Had Been A Double-Minded Man!
I Gave The Lord My Problems
And
Then I Took Them Back
And
Thereafter I Worried ... Incessantly
- Unwisely -
To Be Exact ... Foolishly!

So What Did You Do!?!

Jesus Christ And I Had A "Moment!"

Oh, You Mean You Had
A Coming To Jesus Meeting!

You Said It
And
It Was A Doozy!

Hard Decisions Were Made!

I Had To Decide That
I Would Trust The Lord ... Totally
Follow The Lord ... Completely
And
Set Aside Self With ... Finality
And
Things Changed Radically After That!

Jesus Christ Leads ... I Follow!
Jesus Christ Calls ... I Answer!
Jesus Christ Sends ... I Go!
Jesus Christ Blesses ... I Say "Thank You, Jesus!"
And
With A Grateful Heart
I Give Him Total Praise!

Jesus Christ
 Is
My Master
My Teacher
My Father
My Friend
My Savior
My Hope, My Help, My Salvation
My Provider, My Sustainer
My Lord
My God
My Judge
My King
My Shepherd
My Rock 
And
My Defence!

Jesus Christ Is My All And All
And
He's My Only Way Out From 
Under The Curse Of The Fall!

On His Name, With Love
For Love, With Hope, For Help
I, Trusting Constantly
Believing Totally
- Assured Of Help From The Throne Of Grace -
On His Blessed Name Call!

Speak The Truth ...

He Has Never Failed Me
And
Praise God
He Never Will!

His Will Is My Will ...!

... And Not The Other Way Around ...!
I Get It! I Actually Get It!

Maisie!?! 

Yes, Harvey!

Come, Old Girl!
We're Going Home!
We Have Some House Cleaning To Do
And It Is Not Of Dirt ... It's Of Sin!
We Can No Longer Say That
The Lord Is Our God
And Try To Bend Him To Do Our Will!
We Are Not His God ... He's Ours!

Repentance Is Good For The Soul!
Confess, Repent, And Accept Forgiveness!

Give The Lord His Praise
And
Live In His Love ... In His Embrace
As You Await The Glory Days!

AMEN!

Between Us
Let's Just Call This Most Recent Episode
A Blip In Transmission!
We Have Got A Free Coupon For The Good Oil!

It's Time To Exercise Your Franchise
And
Like A Hot Rock
Drop Satan And His Lies!

Indeed!
From The Ashes Of Sin
We Are Going To Rise To The Newness Of Life ...!

... In Full Obedience ...!

...To The Lord Jesus Christ!

The Lord Be Praised!

AMEN!!!!

ICY, I SEE: Doubt ... And Faith ...And Disobedience

If I Hear The Word Of Truth
And
I Doubt The Word Of Truth
Does That Mean That
The Word Of Truth Is A Lie!?!

If I Know That The Lord Christ Is Real

And
I Choose To Doubt That He Is Real
Does That Mean That
The Lord Christ Is A Falsity!?!
A Fantasy!?! 
If I Am Made Of The Clan Human

But
I Choose To Walk Like A Duck
Talk Like A Duck
Dump As A Duck
Does That Make Me A Duck
Or Does It Brand Me A Human Quack!?!

Shaking My Head ...


I Have A Real Problem
With People Who Call Green, Black
Just Because They View The Green
In The Darkness
Refusing To Look At It
In The True And Bright Light
Which Offers Real Insight
Sufficient Even The Veriest Jade To Delight!

What Do You See ...


Men Are Using "Magic" Mirrors
So That What Looks Back At Them
Is Not 
The Same Person
As The One Who Is Doing The Looking!

Gotta Do De Math ...


If We Extrapolate That
And
Think Of The Lord Of Life
Who Repeatedly Tells, Asks, Pleads
With Us To Live By Faith
And
Not To Live By Lying Eyesight
We Will Do Well
And
Prosper
Instead Of Hurting Self And Others
By Depending Upon That
Which Leads To The Hell-Bound Offer!

Faith ... I Can't See Now

But
I Choose To Believe The Word That 
I Will See ... Later!

Doubt ... I Can't See What I Can't See

Because I Can't See
And 
I Choose To Disbelieve The Word
That I Could See If I Choose To Have Faith
And Believe That I Will See ... In Time!
A Mouthful
But
Not Way-To-Eternal-Life Goals!

Faith Is Not About Being Brave!

Faith Is All About Obedience!

Doubt Is Not About Disbelief!

Doubt Is About Disobedience!

Belief Is A Choice!
Disbelief Is A Choice!
Disbelief Makes Satan Glad! 
Belief Makes Heaven Rejoice! 

"I Can't See!" She Said, Blindly. 
"I Don't Have A Care!" She Said
While Carrying The Heavy Load
Ignoring The Fact That
Belief Takes Away Worry
And
Disbelief Causes One To Treat Liberally 
With Debilitating Fear!

At Her Gross Folly
Satan, Triumphing
Does Jeer! 

Ask De Hard T'ings ...

Are We Regulation Fools
Disguised Idiots
Masquerading As Saints!?! 

Or

Are We Salt Of The Earth
Light Of Life
Blessed To Be Blessings
Hearing The Word Of The Living God
And
Faithfully Believing
- And Doing -
Without Fear Or Failing
Not Caviling!?!

We Are Not Promised Easy Living! 

Whether We Have Dollars Or Cents
Pounds Or Pence
We All Need Sense To Scent
The Stench On The Winds Of Change! 

Ignorance Is Not Bliss!
Foolishness Is Not Sense!
Having Guts Is No Guarantee Of Glory
But
Praise Be To Jesus
Good News Is The Present Truth 
Gospel Story! 

Bow And Burn Both Begin With "B"
But
Only One Leads The Believer
To Eternal Life!
