IMMORTAL: Mortal!




If I
Were Now Immortal
I Would Have No Need
For A Holy God!
I Would Have No Need For Salvation
AND
Would Have No Fear Of
God's Chastening Rod!

I Would Walk
As Though I Am Law
Unto My Blighted Self!
I Would Walk The Earth
Not Giving A Tinker's Damn
About Any Other Person Save
My Own Delightsome Self
For I
Being Perfect
Not Admitting
Of Any Flaw
Would Have No Fear
Of Showing Mere Men
My Sharp
Shiny
Scything
Raptor's Claw!

I Would Do
As I Very Well Please!
I Would Mash Up
AND
Buy Back
Because I Would Have
Unwearied Knees!

I Would Cut Down
AND
Dig Up
Confident In My Self
AND
Having No Fear
Of The Real God
Nor The Damned Devil
Who
Having To Defer To Me
Is Beside Himself!

I Would Burn Bridges!
I Would Fly Close To The Sun
AND
Fly In The Face Of The Son!
I Would Walk Into Oncoming Motor Traffic
AND
Rejoice
For I Would Have No More Need
For Hacked Internet
Meme Traffic!

I Would Be
Mean
AND
Unkind
For I Will Have
Nothing To Regret!

I Would Be Fast AND
Still Slow
For I Will Have No Place
To Hurriedly Go!

I Would Sup
On Whatever Food Taste's Good
And Sip
On Whichever Drinks Waste's Hard!

I Would Not Rest
For I Will Not Be Sleeping
For My Own Unwearied Soul
Will Be In My Own Safe Keeping!

But ...

Alas
'Tis All A Satanic Lie
A Deception
To Make Satan Laugh
As We
Riding The Raging Tide
Volubly Bitter
Die!

Misery Likes Company
Just As Candy Likes Sugar
To Be Sweet
AND
SIN
Likes Willful Sinners
To Play Chicken
As They Wait Eagerly
-Supposedly -
Death To Riotously Cheat!

***-***-***

Believing To Receive
NOT
Conceiving To Deceive
Is The Man
That Says His Prayers
To The God Of Heaven
Who For Him Cares!

***-***-***

Money
Cannot Buy
Eternal Security
BUT
It Can Rid One
Of An Earthly Cross, 'Tis True
BUT
What If That Cross
- Wisely Appreciated -
Was The Means Whereby
To Eternally
Save You?!
The Question Applies To Me, Too!

Obviously, Then ...

Your Rubbishing Your Cross
For A Sinful Life Of Ease
Would Be Sad Indeed
When For You
The Cross Was The Cure
For The Sin Disease!

***-***-***

Nothing Is As It Appears!
Look Deeper
AND
Talk To The God Of Heaven
Who Created
Wind!
AND
Air!
That You Can Breathe In
AND
Feel On Your Skin
BUT
Cannot Keep On A Seat
Marked
Comfortable Chair!

***-***-***

Men Are Mortal!
Accept It!
Mortal Men Die
AND
Mortal Men
Who Choose To Believe
In Almighty God
AND
Follow After
Jesus Christ The Lord
WILL
With The Angels
One Soon-Coming Day
Adroitly Fly!

***-***-***

Lord, Please Draw Nigh!



VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JESUS CHRIST: The Electrician




I Was Walking In Darkness!
My House Was Shuttered! - No Light!
My Windows Were Darkened!
I Couldn't See The Way!
And I Needed An Electrician
One Who Would Accept No Pay!

My Eyes Were My Windows!
My House Was My Soul!
Spiritual Was My Darkness
And I Needed The Light Of Life
To Enter Into My Soul!

I Opened The Book Of Helps
And
I Found And Dialled The Registered Number -
PRAYER
And
Before The Number Could Ring
I Heard A Voice Answer:

Holy Spirit Line
Jesus Christ Speaking!

Jesus?

I AM!

Would You Help Me, Please?!
I Need Light!
I Am Walking In Darkness!
Satan Is Running After Me
About Ready To Completely Catch Me!
He Keeps Asking:

Hath God Said?!

And, I ...
I Am Tongue-Tied!
I Have Been Tardy Studying The Scriptures
So I Can't Distinguish God's Truth
From His Devilish Lies!

Child,
Why Are You Tardy?

Lord,
I Must Tell You The Truth!
I Am Busy
Doing Busy Work
Running Around Doing A Lot Of
Church Committee Work!
I Am On A Committee
To Set Up A Committee
And A Committee To Regulate Committees
And The Large Committee To Select The Small Committee
And Then
I Have Housework
School Work
Work Work
And Other Church Work
And Then
I Am So Tired
I Can Barely See My Bible To Read
And I Have Even Been Neglecting Prayers
Too Tired To Even Get Down On My Knees
And
If I Do Get On My Knees
I Fall Asleep Saying My Prayers
My Mind Is Wandering On A Tangent
And
I Don't Even Remember Changing Gears!
I Am Troubled In My Spirit!
My Soul, Lord, Is Distressed!
I Need You To Fix Me
For
I Am Suffering From Intemperance
By Church Work And Work Work Excess!

Child,
What Is My Charge To You?

Seek Ye First
The Kingdom Of God ...!

And, Then?

Go Ye Into All The World ...!

Beloved,
Do You Love Me?

Lord, You Know Everything!
You Know That I Do Love You!
I Keep All The Commandments
And
I Do Good
And
I Walk Right
But ...!

Your Spiritual Life Is Bankrupt
And
Satan Is Winning In The Fight!

Yes, Lord!
That Is It!
Please, Tell Me What To Do
For
I Am Willing To Listen
And
Do
What You Ask Me Too!

When You Are Spiritually Tired
Are You Sober?
Are You Vigilant?
Can You Fight Your Adversary
Who Has No Need
For Human Rest And Lunch?

You Must Make The Reading Of Scriptures
A Part Of Your Necessary Bread
And
You Must Make Your Prayers As The Water You Drink
Without Which
You Would Soon Be Dead!

Knowing That I Am Just A Prayer Away
And
Never Calling My Name
Is Just The Same As Calling Me
By Dialling A Wrong Number In Vain!

It Is Not That
Every Time
You Want To Talk With Me
That You Can On Your Knees Pray
Commune With Me
In The Silence Of Your Mind
And Know
That I
Who Created You
Is The Only One Who Can Read Your Mind!

Share Your Sorrows
Your Joys
Your Tears
Your Fears
Your Concerns
Your Desires
Your Trials
Your Burdens
Share Your Life With Me!
I Care!
No Burden Is Too Heavy
No Need Is Too Small
No Sin Is Beyond Forgiveness
For I Forgive Who In Contriteness Of Heart
Repentant
On Me Humbly
Prayerfully
Calls!

I Have Begun A Good Work In You!
I Will Finish It
IF
You Permit Me Too!
I Will Walk With You
IF
You Let Me!
I Will Lead You
IF
You Set Aside Self
And Let Me Safely Guide You
Your Whole Life Through And Through!

I Go Where I Am Welcomed!
I Will Never In Your Life
Uninvited
Walk In!
I Knock At Your Door
If You Answer And Invite Me In
I Will Be Your Companion
Until This Life's Journey's End!

BUT ...
You Must Call Upon Me
AND
I Will Answer!
You Must Spend Time With Me
For
Friends Who Love Their Friends
Always Care And Share!

I Am The Lord!
I Am The Good Shepherd!
I Am The Friend That Sticketh Closer Than A Brother
AND
I Am The King Of Love
Who Has A Home Prepared
For All Who Will Walk In My Truth
Blessing The Brethren
The Poor
The Meek
With Kindly, Brotherly, Love!

I Am Your Savior
Your Redeemer
The Holy God
I Have Rewards Set Aside
For All Who Faithfully Follow Me
Casting Aside Satan
The Liar
The Tempter
The Deceiver
Who Wishes To Be God!

Trust Me - I Love You!
Follow Me - I Know What Is Best For You!
Worship And Obey Me
In Spirit And By Truth
And
In The Day Coming
You Will Be Changed
Made Immortal
And
With Me Live
In Eternal Youth!

Father,
Please Lead Me
Day By Day
Teach Me Your Own Holy Ways
And
Help Me To Do What You Say!
I Love You, Lord!
I Worship You!
Please Lift Me Up
So That I May Lift You Up, Too!
I Desire With My Whole Heart
To Follow After You!

Welcome Home, Child!

My Lights Were Turned On!
I Can Now Clearly See!
I Can See Truth!
I Can Recognize Devilish Lies
AND
In The Name Of Jesus
By Prayers And Reading God's Truth
Satan Can No Longer
With His Dark Sayings
My Mind Tantalize!

Some Days Are Easier Than Others
Some Days Are Harder Than Most
BUT
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Under The Agency Of The Holy Ghost
I Am Striving By God's Grace For Zion
Where Jesus Christ Will Be My Forever Host!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Happy Result!








Confession AND Repentance
Are Embraced By
Forgiveness AND Hope
AND
The Happy Result Is That
The Repentant Sinner Has
A New Way To Live
AND
A New Way With Life To Cope!

New Life Is Glorious
Because Of The One Who Daily Blesses
AND
Those Who Choose
To Walk With And In Him
Are Not Plagued By
The Willing Bold Sinner's Daily Stresses!

Faith AND Hope
Mercy AND Grace
Truth AND Trust
Obedience AND Blessing
Are Now The New Companions
Of The Forgiven Soul
AND
By Constant Prayer AND Praise
The Child Of The Father Is 
Comforted By The Holy Spirit
Protected By Holy Angels
AND
With Jesus Christ Faithfully Leading
Can Face Down The Wily Foe!

By Filling One's Mind
With The Words Of The Divine
AND
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms


"Thus Saith Lord ...!"

Is Sufficient To Keep The Foe At Bay
As
With Your Hands In Christ's Hands
You Walk
With New Confidence
Each And Every Day
On The Straight AND Narrow Way!

Start Each Day With ... Christ Jesus!
Give Thanks To ... The Lord!
Deny The Liar A ... Stronghold!
AND
Have Nothing To Do With ... The Roaring Fraud!


Keep Your Eyes 
Focused Squarely On Jesus!
Look Not Back At The Fleshpots Of Life!
Dwell Not On Yesterday's Sins
Confessed
AND
Repented Of
AND
Now Eternally Forgiven
AND
Walk
Like One Who 
For Almighty God's Blessings
AND
For Heaven
Are Committedly Striving 
Faithful AND True!


God's Blessed Forgiveness Is Real!
Satan's Bold Deceits Are Real!
Hell And Damnation Are Real!
And
Heaven As Eternal Home Is Real!


Want To Get To Heaven?
Catch The Faith Elevator!
It Goes To Eternity!
It Carries No Disbelievers
Nor Baggage Called Doubt
AND
Only Those Who Walk With Jesus
Can Ride
For It Sings:

Jesus Christ
The Redeemer
Is
The Eternal King!
Satan
The Deceiver
Is
Forever Cast Out!

CONFESSING SIN: Not Feeling The Need?! + PRAYER: Father, Teach Me Thy Ways!








The Question Had Been Politely Asked:

Have You Ever Asked God For Forgiveness?

The Response Was Mind-Blowingly Stunning:

"I Have Never Felt The Need!"

The Obvious Comeback Was:

Don't You Do Anything Wrong?

To Which Came The Reply:

I Do, BUT I Just Try To Do Better 
... To Make Things Right!

Here Spelt Out
Is The Very Thing
That Will Cause Many Men
Including Numerous Christians
To Be Premium Ticket Holders
Elite Passengers
On The Damnation Express!

Man Must See His Need
For Him To Go To The Savior!
Self-Sufficiency
Will Not Lead Him There!
Standing Up For Self
Deciding That Self
Is One's God
Is All It Takes
For One To Embrace
The Chastising Rod Of
The Eternal God!

Never Felt ...!
Never Felt ... "The Need!"
Says Plainly
In Whose Kitchen
At Whose Table They Feed
For
If They Saw God
Recognizing That He Is
Sovereign
Holy
They Would Then Know
Unrepentant Sinners
He Will Not In The Day Own!

What Is Sin?
Breaking The Law!

Who Wrote The Law?
Almighty God!

So ...

If You Break God's Law
Should You Not Ask God For Forgiveness?

That Would Make Sense
Unless
You Are God To Your Self!

Sounds Like Satan Talking!

Exactly!

The People Of God
Are Today
Boldly Facing Total Ruin
Because
The Under-Shepherds
- Obviously In The Pay Of The God-Fraud -
Are Racking And Stacking
Wooden Faggots For The Fire
By Saying To Sinful Men:

Forget Repentance!
Do Good!
Do Good For The Common Good
AND
God's Ire
Will Against You Expire!

Men And God
Do Not Pitch Marbles Together
So Being God's Equal
In Forgiving Self For Sin
Or Repatriating Unto Self Your Sin
Is Just A Satanic Fraud!

So What Do We Do?!

We Need To Recognize That
High-Mindedness
Is The Spring-Board
Over Fire And Brimstone Lake
For
Unrepented Of Sin
Is Left On One's Record
As Unforgiven Sin!

God Is Holy!
God's Word Is Holy!
God's Person Is Inviolable
AND
Condemnation To Hell
Is Really, Truly, Avoidable!

Please Do Not Let
Oversight
Presumption
AND
Assumption
Make Temporary Separation From God
Through Willfulness
A Thing Final In Toto!

Recognize Your Need For God's Forgiveness!
Bend!
Don't Burn!


PRAYER:

Father,
It Is Against Thee
And Thee Alone
That I Have Committed This Sin!
Forgive Me, Lord
And Make Me Clean
For I Repent
And Confess, Today
That I Have Sinned
Against My Own Soul
And
In The Sight Of The Holy God!

Father,
Many Are The Days
That I Walked In My Own Way
Thinking That I Am The Great Physician
Healing My Own Self
And
Forgetting
That I Was Heading With Damnation
For A Head-On Collision!

I Do Love You, Lord
And
I Acknowledge That
For Just A Moment
I Lost My Way!
I Recognize My Actions As Sin
And
I Claim The Promise
That If I Confess My Sin
That You Are Faithful
And
Just
And
Will Forgive My Sin!

Father,
My Heart Is Heavy
With Sorrow
For My Sin!
Please Lift This Great Burden
So That Your Holy Light
Into My Soul
May Get In!

In Jesus' Name, Lord
I Come!
Please Make Me Whole Again
So That I May Have A Secure Place
In Your Sheltered Fold!

I Desire, Lord
To Reclaim My Place
In Your Favor
And
With Contriteness Of Heart
Beseech You
To Take Away My Will To Sin
 From Marring My Soul With Its Disgrace!

I Am Truly Sorry!
Forgive And Bless, Father!
I Am A Child!
Teach Me Your Way, Lord
And
Help Me To Walk In It!
AMEN.

God IS! + PRAYER: Father, I Am Tired Of Running ...!



Denying That Satan Exists
Or
That He Can Damage You
Doesn't Make His Power Less Effective
When He Preys Upon
AND
Does Maliciously Attack You!

Denying God's Existence
When Jesus Comes To Judge You
Won't Make Your Eternal Punishment
- Which Is Separation For The Holy God -
Easier To Bear
For
Covering Your Eyes
Your Ears
AND
Wringing Your Hands
Just Displays The Folly
That Kept Your Company
As You Walked In Your Own Way!

Jesus Christ Is The Commander
The Captain Of All Heaven's Great Hosts
He Is Coming To Give Each Being His Rewardings
AND
That Includes That Evil Spirit Satan
Who Chose To Be The Head Goat!

Goats Have Kiddies
AND
Kiddies Are Own Way
AND
I Was One
Until That Great Day
When The Master
The Teacher
The Creator
Met Me In The Way
AND
Softly Said:

Isn't It Time That You Stopped
From Truth Running Away?

I Looked Left!
I Looked Right
BUT
Not Directly At Him
Until I Felt The Hand
Gentle
Under My Chin!
It Was Commanding
Calming
Calling
AND
I Felt The Tears
Washing Away My Regrets
AND
My Choking Fears!

I, Then
Cried Out ...


PRAYER:

Father,
Please Help ME!
I Am Tired Of Running!
Help Me!
Fix Me!
Make Me Anew!
I've Been A Willful Runner!
Lord, Make Me A Walker!
A Walker
Quietly Walking With
And
Unto You!

I Can't Run Anymore!
I Am Tired, Too!
Running With The World, Father
Has Been Decidedly Weaning My Soul
From Heeding You!

I Repent, Dear Lord
Of Walking In My Own Way
For
It Paid Me In A Coin
That Spends
But
Does Not Anything Good
Acquire Along That Pathway!

I Ran With The Liars
The Whoremongers
And
The Thieves!
I Even Ran With The Devils
And
Dear Lord
I Picked Up Gross And Evil Fleas!

Lord,
Clean Me, I Beseech You!
I Want To Come Home!
Hold My Hand!
Lead Me!
I No Longer Desire To Walk Alone!

The Master
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Friend
Drew Me To His Breast
AND
Did Me Gently Kiss!

Forgiveness!
Forgiveness!
Oh, How My Heart Sang!
Forgiveness Of All My Sin
AND
In My Head 
I Heard The Bells In Heaven
As They Rang!

I Will Not Say
That Life Became Easy
From That Day
BUT
I Will Say With Confidence
That Now
I Know How To Get The Comfort Of Jesus
For
All I Have To Do
Is Say
A Believing Heart's
Trusting-In-God Prayer!
