THE LIVING GOD: Fact - Not Fable!




I Thank You, Lord
For Favor!
I Thank You, Lord
For Faith!
I Thank You, Lord
For The Grace 
AND
The Coming Glory
The Hope For Which
Having Mere Men's Things
Cannot Erase!

Brethren,
When Your God
Has The Answer
To Your Problem
Long Before Your Problem
Is Before Your Eyes
Then It Is
That You Knowingly Recognise
That Your God Is Big
Big Enough
Big ... 
AND Then Some
Sufficient To The Cause
AND
Infinitely Able
AND
- Blessedly -
No Fable!

Such Is The Mighty God
That Many Of Us Nonchalantly Serve
Often Passing Him By
On The Street Curb
Willing Only To Give Him His Props
When
- By Life -
We Have Been Duly Ill-Served!

Lord Knows  ... I Have Been Guilty
BUT
It Is The Desire Of My Heart
From Henceforth
To Be Counted Amongst The Innocents
Who Believe
AND
Know 
- By The Experience That Shows
As Faith Works And Love Grows -
That  Our God
Is No Theory
But The True Power
That Holds Out His Hand
Ready, Willing 
AND
Supremely Able
To Grab Ahold Of The Hand
That Belongs To The Soul
Singing The Forever Psalm  ...

He's Able!
He's A Wonder!
He's A Mystery!
And
He Knows My Name

And
I Can Approach Him
In The Name
Of Him Who Died
To Absolve Me
Of Eternal Shame!



That, My Friends ...

Is No Vain Claim
AND
That 
Is Why
- In Triumph -
I Shall Proclaim:


Give Me My Lord Jesus
On Whom
I Am Learning To Lean
And To Whom I Cleave
As Playing With Sin
I - Disgusted - Leave!





Our Almighty God
Is Worthy  ... To Be Praised
Today
AND
All Of Our Days
For
The Promise Is To Those Who Believe
AND
Who Will Be Rejoicing
Bringing In Their Sheaves!


I Love You, Lord
Tune Up My Heart
And
Help Me
To Ever Sing Unto You
Most Glorious Praise!

**=-**-=**=-**-=**

Take A Moment ...!
Stand Up And See ...!
The Living God Is Real ...!
God Is Always Looking ...!
God Is Always Looking Out For Me ...!
God Is Always Looking Out For Thee ...!

DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS: Bank Of The Holy Jesus

I Deposited My Paycheck
Marked Trust
In The Bank Of The Holy Jesus
AND
I Make No Withdrawals
No Matter How I Am Provoked
For I
To My Jesus
Am Fully Yoked!

I Truly Expect
The Dividend
- Already Declared -
To Be Paid In Full
- With Extras -
On The Day Called
Of Our Faith Great

AND
It Shall Not Be Paid Early
For It Can't Be Paid Late!

By Prayer
I Purchased Shares
Of The Faith
Of Him Who Is Wise
He Who Is Holy
Him Who For Man Died
AND
I Am Determined
Hell Coming
Highwater Following
That The Eternal God
Is My Guide

AND
From Him
I Will Not Turn My Eyes!

Some Days Are Gloomy
Some Days Are Dark, Too

BUT
My God Is Holy
Eternal

AND
True, Too
AND
I Have His Word
That For Me
He Will Ever Care
Even Though At Times
I Forget Him

AND
Run Around
In Ungodly Fear!

No More Backsliding!
No More Walking In My Own Way!
No More Humorless Laughter
Because "That" Fear
Is Sitting In My Comfy Chair!

I Am Determined
To Live For

AND
With My Jesus
In The Glorious Land

AND
Because God With Me
Makes A Majority
I Shall Keep Depositing
My Trust
In The Bank Of The Holy Jesus Kitty!

Who's With Me?!

THE PEACE OF GOD: Attitude Adjustment

I Took A Serious Look At My Self
AND
I Knew
I Needed An Attitude Adjustment!
I Seemed To Be Letting Others
Dictate
Design
My Attitude
AND
It Was Seriously Eating
My Gladness Away!

Seriously Disturbed
I Repaired To The Lord
The Rock Of Ages
My Shelter In The Time Of Storm
AND
I Said:

Lord, I Need You!
Please Don't Let Anybody Steal My Peace!

And, In A Flash
As If Someone Had Spoken Directly Into My Ear
I Heard:

Nobody Can Steal
What You Are Freely
Giving Away!


I Was Dumbfounded!
Stunned!
At A Loss For Words ...!

I Had To Think ...!
Rethink!
Think ... Think ... Think!
Good Gracious!
There Is
- In My Character -
A Chink
Causing In My Life
An Amazing Stink!

God Gives Good Gifts!
God Gave Unto Me His Peace
BUT
I Was Using
Base Copper For Gold
AND
Buying And Using
What Was Not Being Sold!

Alchemy ...
Was Afoot!

I Got Out Old James
AND
Plainly
I Read:

My Peace I Give Unto You
Not As The World Giveth
Give I Unto You!

Followed By ...

And The Peace Of God Which Passeth Understanding
Stablish Your Minds ...!



I Then Grabbed Hold
Of The Word Stablish aka Establish
Recognizing
That It Means 
  • To Settle With Permanence
  • To Fix Firmly In Place


AND ...

In The Godly Sorrowing Of My Own Heart
I Said:

May The God Of Peace
Grant Me
The Peace Of God
So That That Restless Spirit Returns
From Whence It Came
Back To The Bosom Of The Fraud!

I Readily Acknowledge
That I Was A Fool
Letting The Very Devil Play Me
Like A Construction Tool!
There Had Been A Switch!
The Peace That I Had
Had Not Been
God's Peace Bona Fide!
I Was Riding A Counterfeit
Easy
From My Soul
To Debride!

Listen To Me, Brethren!
Get Your Peace Out
AND
Take A Good Look At It
In The True Light
Of The Only True Living
Holy God's Word
AND
If It Is Showing
Any Loose Connections
Displaying Any Broken Hooks
Get Ye Quickly Unto Jesus
For
God's Peace Is Connected
To Jesus Christ's Faith
Which Is Tied Up
In The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Delivered Unto All Believing Brethren
By Unyielding Mercy
AND
Surpassing Grace!

The Living God Gives Gifts That Give!
The Living God Gives Gifts That Grow!
The Living God Gives Gifts 
To All His Children
Gifts They Receive
BUT
Which Often
They Don't Even Recognize
Or Know!


The Peace Of Almighty God
Requires Intentional Use
By Us
If
It Is To Work!

If You Don't Have It As Yet
Then
Get It For Free
By Connecting To The Source
 - King Jesus!

Got It!?

Now ...

Let Your Faith
In Jesus Christ
Work It!

VICTORY: Walking In Faith!



God Tests Our Faith
To Strengthen Our Trust
Not Because He Is Sadistic
Or Plain Cruel
But Because
Our Refinement Is A Must!

Let Us Not Curse The Tree
Because We Do Not Like Its Fruit
When
In The Day Of Famine
We Would Gladly Eat Its Roots!

Let Us Keep Faith With Our Father
Our Father From Whom Comes Our Faith!
Let Us Reason To Be Wise!
Let Us Trust God's Faith
Not Our Feelings
AND
Surely Not Our Eyes
AND
Let Us Let Our Faith Do Our Walking So
That In The Great Day
Christ's Call
Will Carry Us To New Life!

Faith Gives Us The Victories!
Faith Overcomes The World!
Faith Is A Golden Thread
Without Which
A Believer Would Be A Paid-Up Member
Of The Clan Marked For Destruction
Those Known As Unrepentant Offenders!

Walk In Faith
With The Faithful Jesus!
Walk In Christ's Light
For It Illuminates The Dark Night!
Trust In God's Grace
For
Grace And Faith
Are A Winning Combination
Upon Which 
Trust Gloriously Rides
Darkness To Fight!

Trust In God
Is Not Dead
For
Bad Pay Cannot Kill It!
Trust In The Lord
For Then
Satan Cannot You Ride
Into The Blackness Of Darkness
Where Hope Cannot Abide!

Tests Don't Last Forever
BUT
Tried And Tested
Enduring
Overcoming People Do!
Hold On
To The Blessed Hope
- Christ In You The Hope Of Glory -
AND
Put Your Shoulder To The Gospel Plow
For
He Who Tests You
Is The Same God
Who Daily Provides For
Loves
Blesses
Comforts
AND
Abidingly
Carries You
AND
Me, Too!

Satan Is The Liar

AND

Our Victory 
Is In
Jesus Christ!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Savoring Satan





I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are One!
One Person
One Ideal
One Fact
One Foe
No Good Fillip
No Good Gold!

Self
AND
Self-Adulation
Self- Gratification
AND
Self-Aggrandisement
Are
The Lost Soul's Sole Goal!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are Strung Out
On
Self Dope!
Self-Made Rope!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Speak
To Self
About Self
For Self
Because Of Self
Identifying Self
AND
Creates Its Own Savor
AND 
Is Its Own Savior!

How Ridiculous!
What's Wrong With Saying
I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself?

Nothing ... By Itself!
BUT
When Every Single Solitary
Syllable Of Speech
Stems
Starts
AND
Spreads Out
Like A Line-Dried White Sheet
Then ... THEN
Is When You Know
That Self
Is Savoring Satan
Imbibing His Delusions
His Wine
His Willfulness
Forgetting That There Is The Eternal God
Seeking
To Save A Soul Lost
Who Is Walking Wild 
AND
Blind
AND
At Fearful Cost!

Oh.

Give Self To The Savior
AND
Satan Can't You Sway!
Give Self To Satan
AND
You Are On A Hellbound Cruise
Called
Own-Sin Pay-day!

That's Awful Harsh! 

So Was The Savior's Sacrifice!

Oh.

How Erudite You Are! Not!!

I'm Sorry!
It's Just That
All The Years
Everybody Said:

"Lift Up Your Self
For
Self-Made Always Gets Fed!"

It Seemed Sooo ... Simple
But How You Put It
It Is Just ... Saaaad!

Self Without A Savior 
Is
The Self ... Sacrificed
On The Altar Of Ambition
With Greed As The Steed
Pride As The Nose-Ring Lead
AND
Satan Aggressively Stimulating
Your "Felt" Need!

Anything
That We Can Do Without
Is Not A Need!
What We Need
Really Need
Is The Savior!

And ...

The Savior Says
Seek First
The Kingdom Of God
AND
His Righteous
AND
All Good Things 
Will Be Added On
To Me 
AND
To You!

Well ...
Since You Put It Like That
I Will Acknowledge
That I Am Self Centered ...! 

And ... 

I Shall Say That
If You Acknowledge
That You Are By Self
Cornered
AND
Appeal To Jesus
For Relief
He Can Do A Good Thing
In AND For
You!
Salvation In Him Is Achieved
AND
Satan Can You Any Long Deceive!


I Like That!
You've Got Yourself A Deal!

God Be With You!
Blessings Await!
Satan Is The Liar!
Leave Him
To His Just Fate!
Ignore His Sly Titillate
AND
His Tried
Tired Tittivate
AND
You Will Gain The Right
By Trusting
AND
Obeying
Our Lord Jesus
To Enter The Heavenly City
Through
The Protected Gate! 





NOTE TO FILE: God Is All!

Knowing Pain ... In This Life
Is Inevitable

BUT
Accepting Misery ... Into Your Life
Is Optional!


The Great Themes Of The Bible
Are
Love Faith 
Belief Honor 
Trust Obedience
Worship Sacrifice
Grace Mercy
Judgment Salvation 
Stewardship 
Redemption Elevation
Friendship Kinship
Confession
Repentance Restoration
Jesus Christ - The Open Door
Holiness Unto God
Satan Is The Fraud
Temptation Is Not A Sin
Yielding Is What Get's You Done In!

A Man Without God
Is 
A Man Without Hope
Who Is
Relying Upon His Own Ingenuity
With The World
AND
Satan To Cope!
That's Reckless!

What We Are Not Permitted To Have
Are The Very Things
Satan Beguilingly Extends Toward Us
Sure
AND
Confident
That He Has A Nibbler On The Line! 

Satan's Sworn Task 
Is
To Make Sure
That God's Glory Does Not Shine!

Misery Likes ... Company
Even If
It's An Enemy Or Two!
AND
Satan
- Misery Personified -
Cares Not
How His Rolls Are Made Up
As Long As They Contain
The Beloved Children
That Jesus Christ Died To Save
More Than One Or Two
Even Me Or You!

The Plan Is Diabolical!
The Execution Is Devious!
AND
The Executor Is Damned!

Distrust
Disbelief
Disobedience
Disgrace
Dishonor
Real Shame In The Face!
Idolatry
Self-Service
AND
Denial Of Christ The Lord
Make A Day Of Work
To Satan
Something About Which He Will Say 
He Is Justifiably Proud!

Justification As A Descriptor 
For Satanic Work 
Is Straight Up Satanic
For
There Is No Justification For Evil
No Matter How Hard The Evil One Works!

We Have The Promise
That
Those Who Live Godly Lives
Will Know Persecutions!
We Also Have The Promise
Of Relief And Release
From The Holy Son Of Man!
On This Word
We Can All - Upright - Stand!

Jesus Loves You
Me
AND
All Men
AND
He Went To The Cruel Cross
Every Last One Of Us To Defend!
We All Receive Equal Defence!

Our Souls 
Are Worth More Than Gold And RubiesAND
It Is A Price That No Human
Or Devil Agent Can Afford
AND
If We
- By And In Faith -
Live Godly Lives
Waiting On The Promises Received
We Shall Go Home
To Live With The Lord Christ
Where There Is No More Night
Or
Any Desire To Leave!
We Must To Jesus Cleave!

Stand Up For Jesus!
Stand Up For Our Holy God!
Stand Up For Jesus
AND
Sin
Can't Tie You With Its Benighting Cords!

Trust God 
AND ... Obey
Today 
AND... Every DayAND
At The Appointed Time
The Cause Of Your Sin
AND
My Sin
- Satan -
Will
- Like The Atonement Day Scapegoat -
For All Our Sin
Have To Pay!

Satan "Ate" Our Lunch
AND
He Will Find Out
That It Was Not For Free!
Jesus Christ Provides Us With Supper!


NOTE TO FILE:

Stay Away
From Satan

By
Standing Up
For Jesus Christ The Lord!
Jesus Christ Is The Savior God!
Satan Is The God-Fraud!
