HAPPY SABBATH: When Doubt Meets Faith!?!




Well, Sister
I Am Very Sorry To Hear You Say That!
Personally, I Have Temporary Problems
Because
Praise The Living God For Present Grace
And
Soon To Come Glory
I Have The Almighty God Holy And True
In The Person Of The Lord Jesus Christ Who Is Also God Eternal
Who Bought Me And Paid The Infinite Price
To Assure Me Of Peace And Rest
Forgiveness Salvation
Daily Grace
Daily Faith
And
Always Free Mercy!

As Long As I Can See My Jesus
I Can Be At Peace
Because
I Know That That Immense Gift
- The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
Will Comfort Me In Difficulties
Guide Me On Right Paths
Chide Me When I Am Not Walking Right
And
My Being Willing
Get Me Safely Home
To The Mansions Of Heavenly Rest
In Beulah Land
The Eternal Home Of The Enduring-All-Things
Through-The-Faith-Of-Jesus Believers Blessed! 

I Can't Beat Almighty's God Giving!
I Can't Beat Back Almighty God's Blessings
And
I Won't Send Back Almighty God's Love For Me
Because
I Intend To Bask In His Love For All Eternity!

But, Wait
Lemme Ask You Something:
How Come We Go To The Same Church
Sit Under The Same Pastor
Read From The Holy Bible
And Have Such Different Outcomes!?!
It Seems To Me That 
You Know Some Things That I Don't Know!?! 

Are You A Hearer Or A Doer
Or A Hearer And A Doer Of The Living Word!?!

I Didn't Know There Was A Difference!

Are You A Believer Who Indulges Sinful Doubt
Or
A Sinner Who Chooses
- Despite The World's Enunciated Promulgated Doubts - 
To Be A Humble Faithful Willing Believer!?!

Oh, Dear! Ohhhhh, Dear!

Do You Live By Faith
Or
Do You, Like The Deceitful World
Choose To, Against All The Evidence To The Contrary
Live By Lying Eye-Sight!?!

Oh, Lord! Ohhhhh, Lord!

Do You Believe A Dying Man's Word
Or
Do You Believe The Living God-Man Who Is The Word!?!

Dear, Lord And Father Of My Kind!!!
Forgive Me My Foolish Ways!
I've Always Trusted My Eyes, My Ears, My Deceitful Heart
And I Am Listing In The Sea Of Sin
And Can't Seem To Find The Way The Ocean Of Doubt To Get Out!
Please Hear Me And Please Help Me!
This Is My Contrite Heart's Pray!

Sister,
Please Have Faith: It's Free!
Savor The Living Word: Choose To Believe! 
If You Are Seeking To Have Every Doubt Set Aside
Rest Assured
You Will Find Many More Reasons To Doubt The Living God
Walking Boldly By Your Side
Staring You Insolently In Your Face
Opening Your Front Door
Fighting You For A Seat In Your Best Comfy Chair
Taking You Favorite Dinner Right Out Of Your Hand
Sprawling Out On Your Sweet-Smelling Bed
Nailed Down On Your Porcelain Princess ...!

But, Wait!?!
How Come You So Nosy Getting All Up In My Life So!?!

Girl, I Lived Your Life!
The Difference Between Conflict And Courage Is Having
A Nice Comfortable Tasty Slice Of Jesus Christ's Daily-Faith Cake
Or
Engorging Your Sinful Self On A 12-Inch Round Pan Of 
Sight-Of-The-Eyes Doubter's Delight Cake
Which
- Surprise, Surprise -
Has No Known End ...! 

... I Know That For A Fact!
There's Always One, One, One. Slice. More!

The Word Says:
Have Faith... !!!
(Don't Look Back)! 
Trust God ...!!!
(Walk In Faith)! 
Believe ... And Live ... With God!!!
(Hold On To The High And Holy Hand
Extended Lovingly Toward You!) 

Hon, 
The God We Believe In
Will Never, Ever, Grab Your Hand
Tune Your Ears
Set Your Feet
Nor Fix Your Eyes
Until
You Grab Hold Of His Already Extended-To-You Hand
And
Turn Your Ears
Point Your Feet
And
Lift Up Your Eyes To Him! 

Almighty God
- Through Jesus Christ Our Savior Lord And King -
Has Made The First And The Last(ING) Move!
Our Task
Should We CHOOSE To Accept It
Is 
To Hear The Word And Choose To Believe It
Believe The Word Of God And Walk In Faith
Accept The Blessing Of Daily Receipts Of Faith
And
Faithfully Look To AKA Depend Upon OUR Jesus
The Author And Finisher Of OUR Faith
Who Has Made The Way Clear For Us!

Think Of Water ... Which Finds Its Own Level
And
Think Of Terra Firma Rock ... Moved And Or Marked By The Water's Action! 

Let's Call Jesus, The Water ... Of Life!
Let's Call You, Sister, Terra Firma Rock
Able To Be Impacted By The Water Of Life!
Life Of Sin Is A River Bed Where You Reside! 

Water Of Life Touches Terra Firm Rock Constantly!
You Have, By God-Given Right
Choices Chances
Free Will And Free Way!
You Are Self-Aware!
You Are, Also, By Nature Of Sin, Selfish! 

You Can Let The Water Of Life Permeate Your Hard Shell
And
Make A Mark
Mark You Out
Cut You Away
Move You Onward And Upward
From Sin Draw You, Not Push You, Away

OR

You Can Be Impacted By The Water Of Life
Hear Where It Will Lead
See What It Can
Enjoy The Present Perks Of Daily Interaction
But
Stubbornly Remain Unmoved! 

What About If I Didn't Make A Decision!?! 

Sweetie, Let Me Tell You What My King James Tell's Me:

If You're Not Planting With Jesus Christ
You Are Against Him! 
Now Now, Now Is The Of Salvation! 
Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man, Woman Or Child ... Look Around You! 
Faith Is The Victory That Overcomes The World!
Nothing, Absolutely Nothing, Can Separate Us From Jesus!
Jesus Christ Loves Me, Personally, Sacrificially! 
Jesus Died To Save Us All
But
He Can Only Save One Person Aka
The One Person Who CHOOSES To Believe That 
Jesus Christ Saves!

Jesus Christ Only Saves Individuals!
He Can't Save A Family
A Country
A City
A Town
A Church
A Congregation
But
He Will Save The Individuals In Those Settings
Who Individually Set Aside Self Sin Doubt
And
Choose Jesus Christ's Love
His Freely-Available Gift Of Daily Faith 
And
His Free-To-All Salvation! 

You Make It Sound So Easy! 

It Is! 

If It Is So, Why Is There Plaguing Doubt!?!

Do You Remember 
The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil!?!

Yes, I Do!
Do You Also Remember The Tree Of Life!?! 

I Sure Do!

Do You Remember Jesus Christ's Charge To Adam And Eve!?! 

Stay Away From The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil 
Or You Will Die!

What I Don't Understand Is
If They Had The Tree Of Life
Why Did He Have To Put The Tree Of
The Knowledge Of Good And Evil There As Well!?! 

It Was For A Test Of Faith! 
Don't Forget That There Had Already Been 
A Rebellion In Heaven 
And 
It Was Necessary For This New Creature
- Made A Little Lower Than The Angels -
To Prove His Allegiance!

The Same Is True For Today! 
The Difference Is The Trees Are Called 
Faith And Doubt!

Adam And Eve Were Never Meant To Have 
The Knowledge Of Evil!
The Tree Of Life Gives Unto Us
Every Good And Perfect Gift
Which Comes Down From The Father Of Lights 
In Whom Is No Variableness
Neither Shadow Of Turning ...! 

... I Just Remembered That He Said:

I Am The Lord: I Change Not!
The Lord: The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever ...!

... Call On Me AND ...! 

... I Will Show You Great And Glorious Things
Which Thou Knowest Not! 

I Am The Lord: Is There Anything Too Hard For Me!?! 

The Lord Is My Shepherd: I Shall Not Want! 

The Lord Is Our Refuge And Strength: 
A Very Present Help In Times Of Trouble! 

... But Thou, Oh, Lord, Art A Shield For Me: 
My Glory And The Lifter Up Of My Head! 

Whom Seekest Thou!?!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Lord
The Holy God:
My Creator
My God 
My King 
My Salvation 
My Redeemer
My Only Savior
My True Friend!?! 

What Doest Thou!?! 

As For Me And My House
We Will Serve The Lord! 

What Your Doubt!?! 

It Is No Longer My Doubt! 
Doubt - Like Satan - Is Damned!
I Have Made My Choice! 
I'll No Longer Be A Wave Of The Sea
Driven And Tossed By Every Storm Wind!
My Soul Is Anchored In The Lord
And I Stand Against Satan The Fraud! 
I'm Now Truly Aware Of His Devices 
And I'm Giving To The Lord
My Self
My Will
My Way
My Choices
I've Invested In Him All My Chances! 

Jesus Christ IS Now Totally Responsible For Me
Because From Here On In
I've Divested My Soul Of
Lying Doubts' Destructive Debilitating
Good-For-Nothing Coming! 

I've Learnt Something Today!
It Pays To Converse With The True People Of The Book

Give The Lord His Glory! 
He IS The Book! 

What In Earth Do You Mean!?! 

The Preserved Word Of Our King James Bible
Is
The Transcript Of The Eternal Holy God's Character! 
If You Take Away From The Good Book
You Minimize Almighty God And Curse Your Self!
If You Add To The Good Book
You Elevate What Has No Elevator 
And You Are Found To Be A Liar
And You Curse Yourself
And You Lose All Your Blessings!


Father, 
In The Name Of The Beloved Jesus
Have Mercy, Please, On All Of Us!
AMEN!!!


I'm Glad We Had This Time To Talk! 

If You Want To Talk Some More
Come And Have Dinner At My House! 

Will Our Jesus Be There!?!

In Spirit, My Dear! In Spirit!

Where Two Or Three Or Gathered Together In My Name!?! 

Indeed! 

Let's Go!
