There Is The Judgment Day Coming For You For Me For The Rich For The Poor For The Good For The Evil!
Brethren,
Do You Know Or Care What For You Is In Store!?!
Have You Heaped Up Treasure In Heaven Or Only Amassed It On The Earth!?! Are You Living The Life Built On The Illusive Dream Or Are You Experiencing The New Birth!?!
Is Jesus Christ Your Savior Or Is Satan Your Pimp Sending You To Labor For That Which Is Not Bread For That With Which Your Longing Soul Will Never Be Satisfied For That Which Marks You As One Whose Desire For True Life Is Wet-Noodle Limp!?!
Are You Living The Life Of The Drunken Sailor!?! Of Your God-Given Gifts Are You The Prostitute!?! Are You Driving A Fast Car To Damnation With The Ignored Rocks Of Remorse In The Boot!?!
Are You Chasing Your Tail And Catching Yourself Surprised At The Acquisition That Is Pain To Your Health And Laboring Under The Alternative To Truth That Declares That Dollars And Diamonds Equal Wealth!?!
Are Your Hopes, Happy!?! Is Your Present Help Assuring That You're Truly Heaven-Bound!?! Is The Topper That You Plan On Wearing Made Of Seven-Times-Purified Gold Or Is It The Tri-Belled Cloth Cap Of The Circus Clown!?!
Do You Know The Only Savior!?! Is He Your One True Friend!?! Do You Know That He Paid In Toto For All Your Sins And That He Is Waiting ... Waiting Patiently For Your Invitation To Your Hurting Heart To Enter In!?!
It's True ...
Jesus Christ Is Your Surety And Your Security
And, Again, Your Savior, My Friends! He Offers To All Willing Truth, And Beauty Hope, Help And An Eternal Home Forgiveness For Confessed Sin Freedom From Sin Grace Now, And Glory Later Peace, And Protection Provision, And Length Of Days Immortality, And Incorruptibility Wisdom To Walk In Wise Ways Knowledge To Escape Satan's Power Plays And Understanding Which Declares That Sin And Selfishness Cannot - Will Not - A Declared Profit Ever Pay!
Brethren,
Please Do Not Follow The Multitude To Do Evil! Please Do Not Be A Follower Of Fallen, Carnal, Man! Please Do Not Take Pleasure In Works Of Unrighteousness: There Is No Forever In The Wilfull Sinning Hard Stance!
Please ...
Look Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Holy Faith! Invite Him - In The Person Of The Holy Spirit - Your Heart To Enter In!
If Jesus Is Not Your Captain Then Satan That Serpent Is In Charge! Of This Fact Be Ever Assured!
Satan Will Cause You Untold Problems But Jesus Christ Is The Unending The Everlasting The Eternal Cure!
Sin Is The Putrifying Sore! Self Is The Unlicensed Doctor! Satan Is The Purveyor Of The Pleasure-Principle
Cure-For-All Motion Potion Lotion
And I Repeat That
Jesus Christ The Creator The Great Physician The Way To The Father To Eternal Life ... The Door Is The Revealed And Sure
And
Only Cure!
Brethren, Beloved
It Is Time To Awaken From Sleep! Take The Faith-In-Jesus Leap!
There's A Glorious Day Soon Coming No Cloudy Veil Between When All The Saints And Angels Together Shall Be Seen!
I'm A Soldier A Believer In The Holy Cross Of Jesus! I'm A Saint Of God And Christ And I Shall Be Among Those Flying Unto The Lord's Everlasting Life!
Are You, Brother, A Believer!?! Are You, Sister, A True Saint!?! Are You Washed In The Blood Of Jesus Or Are You Still Bearing Unconfessed Sin's Taint!?!
Don't You Know You Have A Friend In Jesus!?! Don't You Know His Spirit Of Truth Sets Us Free!?! Don't You Care That He Died To Save You And That He Has A Share Of His Bounty For Thee!?!
Brother, Sister Father, Mother Friend, Acquaintance Even Those Called Foes Jesus Christ The Creator, Righteous Beckons You Walk Forward For He Is The One Called The Door!
He Is The Way The Truth, Our Life! He Is Who Protects Us
Against The Carnal Strife And If You Will Be Among The Blood-Washed Brethren You Must At His Holy Feet Bow And Lay Your Heavy Burden Down If You Will Wear The Golden Crown!
Trust The Word! Believe The Promises! Live For The Lord! Walk With Him In Accord And You, Faithful
Singing, Praising, Rejoicing Shall Join The Redeemed Throng Flying Unto The Great Reward!
Are You Bold Enough To Be Humble!?! Are You Weak Enough To Be Strong!?! Have You Faith Enough To Stand In The Truth And Courage Enough On The Rock Of Ages To Fall Upon!?!
Do You Know ... The Lord Christ The Holy Spirit The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Can Do Nothing For The One Who Sees Self In Every Mirror He Passes Beside And More To The Point Self Can Do Nothing To Bless Self When Self Is Its Own Savior And The Real Savior Is Found Only In A Beautifully Bound Book High Upon A Book Shelf And To The Self Neither Mighty Nor Strong!
Are You Brave Enough To Trust Almighty God On His Written Promises!?! Are You Needy Enough To Reach For The Outstretched Hand!?! Are You Weary Enough Of Sin Ready To Give Up Self And Take On Christ And By So Doing Give Short Shrift To The Demonic Device That Gives Mortal Life Unneeded Spice!?!
Are You Living For Self ... Now Only To Die The Second Death Or Are You Dying To Self ... Now Sure To Live With The Lord Christ Forever In The Land Of No Death Or Dying!?! Are You Certain Of The Pathway Marked Or Are You Stumbling Like A Drunk In The Light-Of-Life Obscured Sin-Filled Dark!?!
Does The Savior Personally Know Your Name Or Are Your Prayers Before Him An Abomination An Unholy Thing The Thing Profane!?!
Are You Aware That Soul-Salvation Is A Felt Need And Are You Willing To Let The Lord Of Life Your Hungering Soul Feed!?!
The Questions Are Outside Us! The Answers Are Inside! The Truth Is Christ Jesus He In Whom Our Peace Does Abide!
What Is Your Answer!?!
Will You Choose To Believe The Promises!?! Will You Choose To Walk Wisely With The Lord Jesus Or Will You ... With The Goat - That Pride-Filled Satan - Continue To Go On The Merry-Go-Round's Wild Ride!?!
And Do You Know Why Satan, Our Adversary Is Called A Serpent!?!
I Don't Think So! Isn't He Just A Slimy Creature!?!
He's Not Slimy! He's A Slithering Creature!
Satan Can Twist The Truth! He Can Turn Away From Light! He Can, Unaffected, Glide Over Goodness! He Can Negotiate The Torturous Bends From Doubt To Denial On Through To Unbelief And To Put It Bluntly He Can Do What Our Holy God Can't:
He Can Straight Up Preach Practice And Promulgate Unholy Dastardly Deceit!
The Living God Holy Always, Always, Always Walks The Straight Way - Directly - With No Going Backward No Going Sideways Ever Going Forward Unchanging!
He Is Who He Says He Is And Does What He Says He Will Do!
I've Got To Warn You ...
Do Not Make Excuses For Satan Or His Sin!
There Is No Excuse! His Undoing Was Lusting For Pride Of Place And Gross Enjoyment In The Beauty Of His Face And The Desire To Receive Undeserved Worship!
But, Why ...
Our Creator - His Creator - Left In Satan's Own Hands The Personal Power Of Will And Choice And Satan's Lust For Preeminence - A Place In Advance Of The Father's Own Son - Saw Him Putting Between His Own Eyes A Fully Loaded And Cocked Gun!
Lord, Help Me Now ...
Pride
Is
As Acid ... Corroding The Soul And Unless It Is Washed Off And Away All Affected By It Will Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay Just As Is Satan Who ... Before His Probation Ran Out Rejected The High And Holy Helping Hand Lovingly Extended To Him By The World's Creator The Holy Son Of God Who Became The Incarnated Son Of Man!
Rights And Privileges ...
Check Writing Is A Privilege Which Must Follow A Few Set Rules:
Take Out What You Put In Leaving That Behind To Pay Your Fees
Don't Exceed Your Overdraft
Let No One Else Sign Your Checks
Do Not Indulge In Check Kite Nor Check Bounce And
Acknowledge That The Account May Be Any Time Closed Should You Refuse To Comply With Those Rules Which Cause The Money In And Out-Flows
Excuse Me! Could You Please Explain What Having A Checking Account
Has To Do With Our Topic!?!
Everything!
How So!?!
Your Life
Is
Your Checking Account! Your Overdraft Is Almighty God's Grace And Mercy!
Fees Are The Price You Pay For Sin!
Bounced Checks And Check Kiting Are Excuses And Putting Blame On Others For Your Personal Sin!
Someone Else Signing Your Check Is You Saying Satan "Made" You Sin!
And
Account Closure Is Death The Date Of Which No One Knows!
The Rules Apply To All ...
All Of This Applied To Satan! All Of This Applies To Me And You!
The Bank
Is
The Bank Of Jesus! The Ten Commandments Are The Rules! The Commandments Cannot Be Changed Because The Writer Himself Will Not And We - Only - By Willing Cooperation With Him Will Receive The Credit Card With The Limit Marked $1 With Exponentially Infinite Unending Noughts!
Now That Is Overkill!
I Want A Card With That Balance!
It's Available To All Mankind For A Little Bitty Fee Called Faith Love Trust Obedience And Belief!
That's Terrific!
Now, Moving Onward ...
The Power Of Satan Is The Dominion Of Death! He Knows That He Is Going To, Himself, Die And It Is His Studied Effort To Get As Many Of Us - As Satanically Possible - To Permanently Overdraw Our Checking Accounts Not Having Anything In Our Savings Accounts To Carry Us Over Any Humps:
No Saving Faith No Saving Grace No Salvation By Promise No Bonds Of Redemption No Savior And No Forever Friend
From Whom To Borrow Gold Bullion!
People, We Have A Problem!
Brethren, You Believers We Know
And
Have The Solution!
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Paid ... In Advance The Costs The Fees The Overdrafts Even The ... Our ... Initial Deposit!
Understand This ...
If You're Running With The Big Dogs The Dragon The Snake Your Knowing Of Your Bank Deposit Will Be Considered ... News: Fake!
But
If You Have Accepted The Good News And Have Chosen With The Lord Christ To Be Lovingly, Faithfully, Intimate Rest Assured And Be Totally Confident That Satan Has Dropped Into Your Seat The Thing Called Irrational Hate!
There Will Be Always For You An Expense
Such That Your Account
Will Appear To Be Always Overdrawn! Whether It Is By Dimes Or Dollars The Result Is The Same:
Overdrawn!
Overdrawn!
Overdrawn!
But
Let That Not Be To You The Problem!
No Matter What Hie Thee Ever Always To Your Lord! Do Not Look Back! Do Not Look To The Side!
Do Not Be Drawn Aside Or Away!
Suck It Up ...
Pray And Petition In The Name Of The Lovely Jesus To The Heavenly Father Your Need And Your Confidence In Christ's Merits Judiciously Faithfully Hopefully Confide!
Confide!?!
CONFIDE!!
Faith-Debtor's Prison ...
Put Yourself In Debt To The Deliverer! Seal Yourself In With Your Savior! Ride Boldly With The Redeemer! Link Your Life With The Lord And Exchange Your Debt Of Sin With Satan And Give Up The Seat ...!
... The Seat ... Deceit!
Yup!
Defrauded By The Fraud!
Easy So!?!
I'm Afraid So!
We Look For Satan To Run Rocket Science Against Us When His Tried And Tested Method Is Mental Arithmetic!
When To Your Life You ... Add ... Jesus It ... Subtracts ... Your Former World-Loving Peace So Satan ... To Make You Pay Maliciously ... Multiplies ... Your Sorrows And With Fiendish Pleasure ... Divides ... Your Friends And Families!
He Takes Away What You Love So That You ... Sorrowing
The Holy Bible Is Not A Toy: It's A Tool! It's Not A Football: It's A Stool! It's Not A River Running Wild: It's A Spring-Fed Pool And Best Of All, Beloved To The Saints Of Almighty God And Jesus The Christ It's The Irreplaceable Priceless
