The Acceptable Time: NOW!

Today, Today
I Did What To A Pleasure-Loving Class
Is Truly Radical!
I
- With Sincerity -
Threw Open My Heart's Door
AND
Put All Of My Now Tasteless Furniture
- Old Deads For Sure -
Outside
AND
Invited Almighty God's Holy Spirit
Within It To Abide!

I Had Met Christ Jesus
The Great Architect
AND
I Truly Trusted His Work
AND

The Workman
AND
I Believed I Would Receive
All
That He Told Me I Should Expect!

I Knew I Needed The Great Designer ... In Residence

For
His Skill Is Impeccable!
His Taste Phenomenal! 

AND
His Grace Unstoppable!

I Had Put Out
A Sofa Called Pride
A Lounge Chair Called Envy
A Recliner Called Lust
AND
A Break-Front Called Sin-Spendy!

I Put Out A Bed Of Base Manners
A Bureau Full Of Lies And Deceits
A Tall-Boy Of Worldliness
AND
A Closet Full Of Greed
- I Used To Ride That Puppy With Speed!

I Even Cast Out
Butcher Knives For Backstabbing
Dainty Teaspoons Full Of Unkindness
Desert Forks For Sly Digs
Ladles Holding License For Liberty
AND
Trays Laden With "I Can Do As I Please!"

If I Decided To Go On Listing My Cast-Offs
My Cast Aways
I Would Still Be Writing Tomorrow
AND
I Don't Choose To Spend My Day That Way!

Sufficed To Say ...

I Didn't Even Realize That 

The Holy Spirit Had Indeed Fully Moved In
AND
Had Completely Taken Over
Until
One Day ... Quite Sweet
I Was Riding In My New Rocking Chair
From The "Yes, Lord!" Collection!

I Suddenly Had No Fear Of Tomorrow
AND
The Light Of Life Was Shining Through
My Windows Called
Clean And Clear Salved Eyes
AND
My Table Called Faith
Had A Single Plate Marked
"Just For Today!"

I Had A Single Glass Cup!
Every Day It Looked The Same!
Never Full!
Never Empty!
AND
When I Queried
The New Boss Of Me
He Stated That That Cup Is Called Grace
AND THATWhat I Therein Received
IS
Always Sufficient!
In Believer's Parlance
It Was More Than Plenty!

My New Bed Is From The "Rest!" Collection!
My New Comforter Is From The Collection Called "Perfect Peace!"
My Shoes Are From The "Delivery Of The Gospel Of Peace!" Collection
AND
My New Attire Is From The Simple Line
"The Righteousness Of Christ!"

I Even Received A New Chapeau
From The Collection "Salvation Has Been Brought Down!"
Bearing A Blood-Red Ribbon
Beautifully Embroidered
With The Words
That Made Me Cry And Laugh
AND
Hug The Lord Of My Heart:

Saved By Grace!

Property

Of

Jesus Christ

Redeemer Of Man!

DESTITUTE OF TRUTH: Abundance Of Truth ... On Parade!?!

 

In The Dark Ages
The Powers That Were
Kept The People In ... Darkness
By Keeping The Truth Chained
Locked Up!

In This Age Of Enlightenment
With Its Information Overload
The Powers That Be
Put The People In Darkness
By Placing Truth 

- In All Its Variants -
In Plain View
Surrounded By Fancy Strobe Lights!

The Outcome Of These Actions
Is In The Preserved Word Proclaimed:

My People Are Destroyed

For Lack Of Knowledge!

Let Me Explain:

Old Truth
True Truth
The Word Of God
Used To Be Real-Real Special

Because It Could Shed Light
So It Was Locked Up
AND
Protected
As Too High For The Lowly
Too Good For The Bad

AND
Impossible To Be Used By
Just Any Common People!

The People Were Dumbed Down
Ignorant
Until ... The Living God Intervened
AND
The People Ignorant
Became People Of The Book
So ... 

Ever Ready Satan Changed His Tactics
To Special Effect
AND NOWTruth
Is As A Free-Range Chicken
Picking Up Food aka Substance
On A Walkabout
On The Fly! 

Have A Look See
AND
Then Have Your Say:

• There IS Truth
• Plain Truth
• Some Truth
• A Lot Of Truth
• Special Truth
• Particular Truth
• Gay Truth
• Lesbian Truth
• Trans Truth
• Common Truth
• Private Truth
• Forgotten Truth
• Fulminating Truth
• High Science Truth
• Secular Truth
• Sacred Truth
• Passing Truth
• Passable Truth
• Borrowed Truth
• Spent Truth
• Truth For The Day
• Truth For The Hour
• Momentary Truth
• Truth To Get Power
• Powerful Truth
• Power-Packed Truth
• Customized Truth
• Illuminated Truth
• Coalition Truth
• Collated From Lies Truth
• Standing Truth
• Moving Truth
• Professed Truth
• Confessed Truth
• Deniable Truth
• Confidable Truth
• Your Truth
• Their Truth
• Our Truth
• My Truth

AND

• God's Truth

AND

All Are "Perfectly" Valid

Authentic
Or
So The Powers Say!

There Is A Saying

A Penny Has No Real Weight
Until You Drop It
From Up High!

The Truth Is
The One Falling Penny Wouldn't Kill You
BUT
You Will Feel Its Passing Touch
BUT
Toss A Tied Up Bag Of Pennies
AND
Watch Out
Your Life Just Turned Into Total Cat's Guts!

The Same Is True With Versional Truth!

Brush Off A Version
A New Version Appears
A Version For Your Tastes
AND

There Is A Truthy Conversion
AND
Soon There As Many Versions
As There Are Tastes 

In Circulation
AND ALL TOO SOONAll That Is For Sale To The Masses
Are Many Tasty Perversions!

We Are Called To Know The Truth Of Almighty God
The Truth That Will Set Us Free
AND
Not To Indulge In Spurious Truth
The Version Of Truth
That Let's Man's Lust
Run And Roam 

Wild
Restraint Free!

Brethren,

Let's Take The Blinders Off
So That Sight Is Unrestricted!
Let Us Go To Jesus For Eye Salve
So That Vision Is Not Conflicted!

Jesus Christ IS The Way
The Truth
AND
The Light That Gives Life
The Same
Yesterday Today Tomorrow
The Rock Of Ages
That Clefts To Provide Protection
AND
Gives Power
To Stand Against Sin And Sinners
In The Trying Hour!

You May Ask General Moses The Deliverer!

There Is Great Difference

Between

Having Information

And

Possessing Knowledge!

What Is In YOUR Possession?!

They Are All In The Room! + Prayer

Pride
Follies Of Sin
Deceitfulness Of Riches
Gift Of Life
Well-Dressed Temptation
Free Mercy
Grace S. Sufficient
Willful Sin
Jesus Saves
D. Savior S. Calling
Plain Truth
Do As I. Please
Living By Faith
Confess N. Repent
Available Grace
Way Of Escape
Repent N. B. Baptised
Contrite Heart
Trust N. Obey
AND
God Forgives
Are All In The Room
Present
AND
Accounted For!

No Excuse For Sin
Keeps Watch!

Believe N. Live
Keeps Record Of The Life's Event

AND

Brazen Deception
Aka Beelzebub The Bold
AND
His Minions
- Hearts Stone Cold -
Are Trying To Breach The True Foundation
Trying To Tear Down Prayer Changes Things
Trying To Rewrite Sealed N. Settled-Truth
BECAUSE
Free Will
AND
Own Choice
Were Up For Grabs!

They Like To Turn Living Tissue
Into Bare Scabs!

To Put It Mildly ...

Heart O'Flesh
Was In The Straight Betwixt Those Two
The Rock ... Of Ages
AND
DThe Hard Place ... To Damnation!

Decisions! Decisions!
Decisions Must Daily Be Made:

Fall On The Rock ... Of Ages
AND
Be Broken
To Be Saved
Which Way Is Known Hard
AND
Painful
AND
Wearying
BUT
Offers Peace And Rest
AND
Forgiveness Of Sin
Sure Salvation
Provision
Protection
Correction Direction
Pleasant Work
AND
With Faithful Endurance
- When The Last Trump Shall Sound -
Redemption
Glorification
Immortality
AND
- Obviously -
Eternal Life
In The Great God's Paradise!

That Way Ain't Easy!

It Should Be Noted
That If The Rock ... Of Ages Falls On Him
It Is Game Forever Over!

If He Willingly Chooses
To Go To The Hard Place ... To Damnation
The Party Is On!
Liberty Is License!
No Rules
All Is Momentary Reward
Bright Lights
Non-Stop Stimulation
Action
A Camera Or Two
Access Reach And Grasp
Live Life Hard Fast And Loose
And ...!

BUT ...!

What If ...?!

Then, Again ...!

He Left The Splendor Of Heaven!

He Died For You On Mount Calvary! 

He Took Your Stain

To Make You Clean Again! 

He Is Calling You! 

His Life Is Yours Free To Gain!

******

Rules! Rules! 

Too Many Rules! 

Live As Your Self Likes!

It Is All Good! 

Feelings Are Real! 

When The Party Is Over  ... Who Cares?! 

Good Night Is The Last Night!

Come And In Gay Abandon Dance!

Take The Night Flight!

The Only Thing That Happens Is Soul Blight!

Lord,
I Need Help!
Have Mercy On Me!
I, Here, Fall On You!
Save Me!
From Sure Damnation I Now Flee!

Beelzebub Is A Liar!
He Keeps Harping On The Lie
Of Man's Immortal Soul!
He Keeps Saying
That You Have To Save All Men
So Right-Living Is The Commodity Oversold!

Father,
I Need You
I Desire Your Life
Help Me!
I Am Pleading!
Lead Thou Me!
Guide Me!
I Desire To Survive The Strife!

The Prayer Of Faith
Availed Heart O'Flesh Much
AND

He Walked Away From
Willful Sinning And Such
AND
He Continues His Daily Walks With The Faithful God

Knowing That With Faithful Work
AND
Endurance
He Will
At The Appointed Time
INHERIT
INHABIT
The Great Reward!

What Will YOU Choose?!

Take Up Thy Cross ...!?!

What's Going On?!
What's The Meaning Of All These Wooden Crosses?!
Since When Do You Wear A Silver Cross?!

I Have A Gold One!

What Is This?!

Pastor Said That Everybody Must Bear Their Cross!

What!?!

He Asked The Question:

Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone  ...?!

... And You All Believed He Meant Bearing
Wearing
A Literal Cross!?!

Sure!

He Plain As Day Said:

Now Is The Appointed Time!

Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Take Up Your Cross

Your Burden

And Faithfully Follow 

Follow After The Lord Jesus Christ!

What's Wrong With You People?!

What Do You Mean?!

Do Any Of You Ever Crack Open A Bible?!
I Quote:

You Obviously
Are Not 
RIGHTLY DIVIDING 
The Word!
AND
You All Ought To Be Ashamed Of Yourselves!

Ashamed For What?!
I Didn't Kill Anybody!

Come On!
What Are You Talking About?!

Didn't Your Pastor Explain What
Taking Up Your Cross And Following Christ Means?!

Sure! That's Why We Are Carrying These Crosses!

Lord, Make Peace!
Let Me Ask You A Question:

What Kind Of Life Did Jesus Live?!

A Life Of Self-Abnegation
Caring For Others
Teaching Others
Healing Others
And Ultimately Dying For Others!

Excuse Me?!
What Is Self-Abegnation?!

Self-Ab-Ne-Ga-Tion!

Jesus Christ
In Self-Abnegation
AND
As Written In Scripture
Was
Meek And Lowly ... Of Heart
Not Proud
Submissive ... In Giving His Will
To His Father
AND
Obedient ... Unto Death
On The Physical Cross!

Jesus Set Aside His Self
AND
In Despising The Shame We Placed Upon Him
Died On The Cross
For Us
Whom He Was Not Ashamed To Call Brethren!

Self-Abnegation Is The Cross 
That Man Should Bear
IF
We Will To Be Like Christ!

This Pile Of Wood 
That You All Are Toting Around Means Nothing!
Those Gold And Silver Crosses You're Wearing
Are ... Are ... Just Decorations
Meaningless
Useless
Good For Nothing But Getting Jewelers Rich!

Whose Character Are You Wearing!
Can The World See Christ In You!
Are You Selfless!
Or Are You
- True To Human Nature -
Totally Selfish?!

Well, Ahhh ...

Ummm ...

Exactly!

Outward Adorning!
White Washed Tombs
Filled With Dead Men's Bones!

You Don't Have To Be So Cruel!

I Am Not Being Cruel!
Somebody Has To Tell You All The Truth!
Who Are You Really Serving?!

Pastor Says ...!

Oh, Lord, In Heaven
Save Us From
Another "Pastor Says!"

Can The Pastor Save You?!

No! Of Course Not!

Then Who Can Save You?!

Jesus Saves!

So What Does Jesus Say?!

To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!

The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!

Wisdom Is The Principal Thing!

Let No Man Steal Your Crown!

In All Your Getting, Get Understanding!

If You Know All That
What's With This Pastor Say That And That?!

Chagrined, They Held Their Heads Down.

One Voice
Speaking To Their Shame, Said:

I Guess We're Just Lazy Thinkers!

Another Voice:

Brethren,
We Really Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves!

We Are The Hearers And Not The Doers Of The Word!

Ohhhh!
If I Had My Way
I Would Beat All Of You At The Bottom Of Your Feet!

How Mean!
That Would Really Hurt!

Yes!
But I'd Never Have To Teach You
The Same Lesson Again!

You Do Have A Point!

Lazy Thinking In A Christian
Is A Vile And Abhorrent Thing!
Let's Not Have This Conversation Again, Okay?!

For Real!

Wow! I Feel Better!

I Feel As Though A Burden Has Been Lifted!

It Was!
No More Toting Around This Fire Wood!

AMEN!

Time To Set Aside Self!

Oh, Dear!
THAT, My Friend
Is Hard Work!

Lord, Help Us!

He Will, My Friend! 
You Can Trust Him!

Faithful Man?!

In The Tribe Called Mankind
In The Family Called Friend
In The Household Called Christian
In The Man Called Faithful
Was Sin!

Bold Sin
Willful Sin
Death-Dealing Sin
AND
All Without Justification!

Come On!
There Is Never Any Justification For Sin!

You Know That 
And I Know That
BUT
There Is A Point To Be Made Here!

Okay. I Await Edification!

Those Old Hebrews
- The Christian Family Of Today -
Had A Work To Do
AND
They Were Given Instructions Most Clear:

Go To Jericho
The Abominable Estate
Where Gross Challenge
To The Eternal God
Is Wittingly Exercised
AND
Level It!
Level It!
Level It To The Ground!
And Don't Mess Around!

Only Rahab 

The God-Believing Helpful Harlot
- For True-Hearted Help -
AND
Her Family In Her House
Would Could
Walk Through Safety's Promised Door!

Everything Else Breathing
Was Marked For Death!
Everything Else Was Marked 
For Burning's Hot Breath
AND
What Could Not Be Burned
- Gold Silver Copper Iron -
Was To Be Dedicated
To The Use Of God's Temple
As A Sacrifice To The Holy God!

In Short,
No Man Shall Grease His Own Palm!

Yes! That Was The Specified Plan!

But ...

As We Too Often Hear And See
Some Greedy Gus
Is Always Stealing
And Hiding The Loot Under Stuff
Inside And Under The Floor Of His Canopy
AND
Causing The Apparently Innocent
To Pay For The Temporarily Concealed
Guilty!

But Know This ...

The Living God
Is The Keeper
Of ALL Doors!
AND
You
Me
Nor We 
Can Build A Sound House
With Level Floors
IF
We Are Building On That Other Foundation
That The Living God Will Not Secure!

So Much To Do! 

So Little Time! 

If Man Will Take In Wisdom's Education

Life On This Earth

Following The Faithful Shepherd
The Holy God

Will Be Perfectly Sublime! 

But ...

What Is Your Point, Again!

Go Bold
AND
Do As YOU Are Told!
No Arms In Disobedience Should YOU Fold!
No Steps Taken
Should Be Other Than Those Prescribed
AND
YOU Will Achieve Heaven's Tried Gold!

I Feel You, Man!
I Feel You!
Give Me Your Hand!

Wrong Doing

May Be Hidden From Man ... For A Time!

BUT

The All-Seeing Ever-Present God

Sees What You Are Doing 

Every Single Time!

The Unpardonable ... Sin!

The Prophet Balaam Beor
The Benjamite King Saul
AND
The Disciple Judas Iscariot
Grieved Away
The Holy Spirit Of God!

These Three Committed
The Unpardonable Sin!
These Three Treated
With The Fraud!
These Three ... Witnesses
Are Our Plain Examples
Showing That
No Good Comes
When One's Life Is Void Of 

The Comfort
The Peace
The Presence Of 

The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal
The One
The Living God!

Also, Note That ...

Lying To The Holy Spirit
Comes With A Death Sentence
I Can Tell You This Is True
For
Ananias And Sapphira
Found That Out The Hard Way
AND
Their Record Is In Holy Writ
As A Clear Caution
To Me And To You!

Jesus Christ Said To His Disciples:

I Will Not Leave You Comfortless!

I Will Send You Another Comforter!

Plainly Saying
That We Need Comfort
AND
Making Clear That
The Only Comfort
For Man's Tried
AND
Dying Soul
Comes From
The Holy Spirit Of God!

Those Who Like King Saul
Dabble In Witchcraft
AND
Indulge In Willful Disobedience
Looking For The Man Of God 

Long Dead

To Rise Up Upon Man's Request

AND

Able Assistance And Comfort Give
Will Receive Into Themselves Sure Damnation! 

Look At The Holy Record!

King Saul's Slide Started
With A Little Disobedience
Immediately Followed By A Plain Lie
Followed By
Cast The Blame On Another
Followed By
Persecution Of The Innocent
Then The Execution Of
The Priests Of The Holy God

AND ALL BECAUSE
He Had No Soul Rest
No Spirit Peace
AND
Only In Pushing The Envelope
If You Will
Could He Find A Facsimile Of Relief
Until ... Until
The Request For A Banned Witch
AND
The Visit To
The Witch Of Endor
Brought Him Too Late
To His Senses
AND
Left Him Abjectly Humbled
In Deed Accursed
A Suicide
A Trophy
A Head On A Philistine Spike
On A Public Roadside!

Balaam Beor
Greedy For Gain
A Prophet Said To Be Of God
But A Prophet
Ever Looking For The Highest Reward
Who Beat The Faithful Ass
Until God Gave Unto It Voice!

Yet ... And Still
The Prophet Was Urged On By Profit
BUT

Didn't Long Live To Enjoy It!

When The Prophet Of God

Resists The Prompting Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Willingly Sells The People Of God
To An Idol-Loving Pagan King
For A Reward
You Can Be Sure
He Has His Own Damnation Secured
Because
He Has Grieved The Holy Spirit Away
AND
Having Been Left To His Own Lustful Will
Did
His Own Soul Damn
His Own Soul Kill!

Judas Iscariot Joined Himself To Jesus
BUT
His Were The Ways Of The Fraud
Looking
For Power And Prestige
Seeking 

Into Things
Way Above His Pay Grade
AND
Being A Thief
Greedy
He Worked His Own Damnation
By Being A Fully Involved Participant 

In Obvious Sin
AND
To Sin
The Devil's Willing Slave!

The Lord Jesus Washed Judas' Feet

Offering Forgiveness

In Exchange For Necessary Repentance
BUT
Stubborn
Judas Turned Down
Christ's Loving Entreaty
AND
The Very Devil
Freely Entered Into Him
AND
He Left The Presence Of Jesus
AND
It Was Night ... Time
AND
NIGHT ... In His Soul
AND
He Ended Up A Body Burst Open
A Suicide! 

Sigh ...

So Much For 30 Pieces Of Silver
When He Could Have Had
Heaven's Tried Gold!

No Human
No Matter How Lofty
No Matter How Crafty
Can Thrive
Without The Holy Spirit Of God
AND
All Who Look TO Satan
For Their EXAMPLE Of THRIVING Prosperity
Should Look AT Satan's Record
AND
Thereby
Be Warned!

A Human Being Without God's Holy Spirit
Is A Demon
Clothed
In Human Flesh!

All Demons Are Damned! 

ANDThis Truth Stands
The Bible Test!

All Human Beings 

Living Without The Grounding Spirit Of The Holy God
Are Damned Once!
Damned Twice!
So 

Be Very Careful, My Friend
Of Whom You PERMIT To Run Your Life
As You Face The Great Controversy's Strife!

Jesus Saves!

Satan Does Not!

Jesus Saves!

Satan Belongs
To The Damned-For-Eternity Lot!

Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost

AND 

His Pardon Is To All FREE 

EXCEPT 

To Those Who Commit

Holy Spirit Blasphemy!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Building Blocks For Man ...!

Truth!
Purity!
Holiness!
Are Building Blocks
AND
Stumbling Blocks
In The Journey Of Man
Be It To Heaven's Paradise
Or
Hell's Damnation!

You And Your Foolish Talk!
Go Away Already!
Building Blocks Cannot ALSO Be Stumbling Blocks
AND
Heaven And Hell Are What We Make Them To Be
So Stop Spewing Your Lies!

If I Lie I Die
AND
In The Resurrection
By Judgment
All Unrepentant Liars
- All Unrepentant Bold Sinners -
Burn

AND
Are Consumed
Never To Rise Again!

I Know You Are Really Lying Now 

For

The Known Word Is

That Dead Sinners Are Presently In Eternal Torment

With Satan Turning Them On A Spit

Until They Have Learned Their Lesson And Repented

And

THEN

They Are Forgiven 

And Go To Paradise! 

Lord, Help Us! 

My Dear

That Is A Lie Of The Devil

To Make God Look Like A Sadist

To Make Satan Look Like A Savior

To Bind Men In Bad Behavior!

Indeed! 

Nobody Wants To Serve A God 

Who Gleefully Tortures Weak Men! 

Weak Men

Have A Way Out Of Sin

But

They Have To Believe The True 

AND

Living Word 

First

AND

Start Walking Away From Sin

AND

Unto Him Who Is Able To Save One

To The Uttermost!

So Why Can't He Just Save Us Outright?! 

It Is A Matter Of Faith!

Faith Is Necessary! 

If You Believe ... Do!

If You Trust ... Walk! 

If You Will To Live ... Die

The Death To Self

AND

Live For Him

Who Is Not A Man

Who Cannot Lie

Who Loves

Who Cares

AND 

In Whom Is Hope

Help

Healing 

Salvation 

Forgiveness

Blessing

Peace 

AND

Rest

WHEN

We Confess Our Known Sin

For He Is Just ... 

... And Faithful! 

... To Forgive Our Sin

... AND Cleanse Us

From ALL Unrighteousness! 

Brother, 

Please Do Not Be Deflected 

By Feints And Outright Lies! 

God Is Not The Author Of Confusion! 

The Living God

Is The God Of Order

AND

His Word Cannot Be Changed! 

His Will Cannot Be Circumvented! 

He Has Said To Us:

Let No One Deceive You! 

Let No Man Steal Your Crown! 

Walk In The Light

The Light Of Truth

AND

All Strongholds 

God Will Cast Down! 

Deny Self! 

Deny That Liar Satan! 

Know THE Truth! 

Truth Sets Free! 

Walk In Wisdom! 

God Will Uphold Thee! 

Promises Are Given

Paid For In Blood

Bequests Are Made To The Faithful

From 

The God Who Is Love! 

Love Is Kind

Easy To Be Entreated

Used

Please Take Heed To Yourself

AND

The Liar's Torment Refuse! 

God Is Not Slack! 

He Keeps His Word! 

He Blesses! 

He Curses! 

BUT

He Tells All

BEFORE

You Choose To Become A Willing Member

Of The Lost Goat Herd! 

Salvation Is By Choice! 

Damnation Is Not By Chance! 

Salvation Is Not By Chance! 

Damnation Is By Choice

Riding On The Decision Of

Whose Word

You Decide

In Your Heart

To Let Have The Strong Voice!

Jesus Saves! 

The Devil Damns! 

Satan In Accusation Rails! 

Jesus Christ In Love

For 

The Seeking Soul ... Calms! 

So?! 

Work Out

Your OWN Soul's Salvation 

With Fear

AND

Trembling!

I Hear That!

AMEN!
