GUARD YOUR HEART: Feelings!?!

Thoughts, Feelings, Desires

Word And Deed

Were Posh And Important

Having Taken Residence

Influencing

The Will And Way Of ... Fallen Man!

Fallen Man Had The Sin Nature

And

In Many Cases

For Want Of A More Polite Expression

Did Not Give A Rat's Well

About Offending Almighty God

Other Men

Nor The Damned Devil

Who Has Set The Stage For Sin In Man

To Enter In!

For Eons

Fallen Man Had Been Clearly

Repeatedly

Constantly Told:

Guard Your Heart!

Your Heart Will Make You Do Things

That Will Hurt You

Body Mind And Spirit

And

Offend The Eternal God

Who Has Given Unto Man

A Cup

With Its Attendant "Fill To Here!" Limit!

A Cup ...With Blessings ... Will Over Flow!

The Cup ... Of Iniquity Aka Planned Sin

Has The-So-Far-And-No-Farther

Cannot-Be-Extended Limit!

Presumptuous Fallen Man

Considered The Whole Thing

A Wonderful Gimmick

And

Set Out To Beat And Exceed It!

His Rationale For Willful Disobedience

And

Willful Sin And Sinful Waywardness

Is

• Almighty God Made Me What I Am! 
• I Didn't Ask To Be Born! 
• I Believe The Word Of The Living God! 
• I Have Free Will: I Freely Choose To Walk In My Own Way! 
• I'm A Dust Bunny Plus Air!
• The Lord Said Whatever I Find To Do, 

  Do It With My Might!
• Jesus Christ Died To Save All Men!
• I Have Faith! 
• I Live Under Grace! 
• I Believe The Word Of The Living God!
• Jesus Christ Must Save Me 
  To Inhabit The Place Which He Has Prepared For Me 
  In My Father's House!

Presumptuous Fallen Man

Could Talk A Peacock Out Of His Tail Feathers

And

He ... He Believes That Because He Can

Decree And Declare

With The Best Prosperity Gospel Christians

That He Has The Lord

The Savior Of Us All

Wrapped Around His Fat, Polished Nail, Pinkie Finger!

One Day ...

Wild Thought Roughly Woke Up Raging Desire!

Raging Desire Prodded Necessary Feelings! 

Necessary Feelings Unleashed

Lit-Up Flowery-Words

Who ... Being Set Free

Ignited The Unchained One

Done Deed!

Not Long Thereafter

In The Night Season ...

Presumptuous Fallen Man

Had A Vision Of His Head Upon His Comfy Bed!

 

He Wanted To Escape

To Run

But 

His Fat Feet Felt Like Lead

And

He Was Left Seeing 

- In All Their Besmirched Glory -

His Self-Righteousness

Self-Esteem

Self-Honor

And

Self-Security!

He Could See The Savior Of Mankind

Hanging ... Again

On The Shameful Tree

And

He Was The One Pounding In The Nails!

He Could See Himself ... Lawless

Casually

Carefully

Dissecting The Law Of God

To Find Ways To Break It ... Confidently!

He Saw The Eternal Law ... In His Life

Bereft

Of Its True Spiritual Power!

He Saw His Portion Of Christian Obedience

In His Heart ... Choking

On The Putrid Smoke Of Disobedience

And

Practically At Death's Door!

He Saw The Accuser Of The Brethren

Satan

The Dragon

The Piercing Serpent

Rejoicing Over His Misdeeds

And

He Saw The Cup

His Cup 

Marked: "Iniquity"

Filled Almost To The Brim

And

He Saw Almighty God's Book Of Remembrance

And

He Saw

The. Lamb's. Book. Of. Life!

And

He Saw Himself In The Fearsome Judgment

And

That Is When He, Broken

Marked

- For The Second Death - 

Started To Cry!

His Wife Heard Him Utter A Blood-Curdling Scream!

People Can Change Direction ...

Life Received An Abrupt And Drastic Change

And

At The Next Church Service

Presumptuous Fallen Man

- With Name Change In Tow -

Gave The Following Testimony:

I Stand Before You Today

Filled With Self-Loathing

Deeply Convicted Of My Sin

And

- For The First Time In My Life -

I Choose To Call Sin

By Its True And Rightful Name!

I Have Learnt My Lesson

And

By God's Great Grace

I'm Changing ... I Have Changed  ... My Outlook

On Living The Christian Life!

Friends, Brethren,

This Is What I Have Discovered:

Living In The Land Of Eye-See

Feeding On The Cake Eye-Want

Leaves One In The Realm Eye-Darkened

To Let Said Eye Stream

As You Curse Your Damnation

Because You Revelled In Eye And I Take

Saying

From Known Sin, I'm Clean!

Such Longings Are Obscene

And

Are Compliments Of The Known Fake

Who

Every Body Who Is Anybody Knows

Will Be Thrown Into The Fire And Brimstone Lake!

It's Just Not Worth The Pain

The Sorrow

The Separation From The Author Of Life

To Defy The Lord Of Life

So, Brethren

The Narrow Way 

On The Straight Path

To Highest Heaven

Please Judiciously Take!

Satan Is The Liar

And

The Father Of Lies! 

Do Not His "Advice"

On His "Do What Thou Wilt

Being The Whole Of The Law"

Take!

Thank You For Listening!

By Grace ... Through Faith

I'm By The Eternal God's Mercy

Man Restored!
