SATAN'S TOOL: Finger Of Ridicule

Committed Courageous Warrior

Is

An Able Soldier For The Lord Christ!

Committed Courageous Warrior

Is

Not Felled By The Pedestrian Demonic Device

Sooooo, Satan ... Ever Wielding The Deceitful Bow

Called Up One Of His Favorite Minions

Whose Super Power Is Wielded With Panache

And

Is Certified To Destabilize The Lord's Unwary Warriors

Who ... Like Apostle Peter

Do Not Watch Unto Prayer

And Who

Lacking Heavenly Reserves

Against The Adversary Of The Holy God 

And

Daily Dying Man

Fall Victim To The Dirtiest Tricks

That A Has-Been Angel

Could Ever Let Dribble From His Unholy Hand!

Meet The Snake ...

Finger Of Ridicule Uses Sharp Talons 

To Push Issues With Buttons Called Hot!
Looking At Him
You Know That He Has Physically Gone To Pot
But
Beware, Beloved
Of His Sharpened Snake Tongue
Which Strikes Sides Left And Right
As He Revels In Singing Unkind Rhyme In Song!

Committed Courageous-Warrior Mode ...

Telling About Jesus

Unchallenged, Unopposed
Unquestioned ... Standing Alone 
Works Just Fine

But

When Challenged
And
Heaped With Vitriolic Scorn

Basely Ridiculed For Unpopular Belief

Vilely Subjected To Sticky Tar Balls

And
On The Receiving End Of Flaming Arrows

That Sting ... That Burn

Committed Courageous Warrior

Lacking The Strength Of Importunate Prayer

The Anchor To The Rock

Finds Self ... Heretofore Not Known Unregenerate 

Issuing Sharp Denial

Cursing Like A Bawd

Capriciously Carrying On

Like A Regulation Devil-Spawn

Until

The Eyes Of The Master

Are Felt

Are Beheld

And

Loving, Forgiving, Compassion

On A Cold, Fearful, Heart Does Fall

And

In The Moment Of Stark Illumination

True Repentance Is Poured Out

And

The New Heart ... Of Flesh

Regenerated By Innocent Blood Spilt

Splits From Self

And

Resolutely Inculcates Personal Sacrifice

Which Leads To A Death-Blow To Satan's Kingdom

Being Decidedly Dealt!

Do Not Trust Self! 

Please Indulge In Instant, Constant, Prayer

And

Rely On The Master

The King ... The Lord

Our Holy God

To Protect Us As We Face The Prowling Of

Satan's Ravening Lions And Bears!

Savior Like A Shepherd ...

The Lord Is For Us! 

The Lord With Us Makes Us The Majority! 

The Devil Is The Liar! 

The Lord Cannot Lie! 

The Lord Is Faithful, Loving

Just, Kind, Blessing, Ever True

And

His Love Will Never Deceive 

Never Torment

Never Desert

Never Destabilize 

Never Destroy You!

Be Strong ...

Turn Up!

Stand Up!

Speak Up!

Trust, Worship, Honor, Obey!

The Lord Of The Harvest 
Is 
Eternal

And

For Your Personal Sin, He Did Pay

So Don't Fold Before The Adversary! 

Do Not Tremble Under The Onslaught! 

Believe The Word! 

Trust The Lord! 

Deliver Your Lines Boldly

And

For Enduring All Things With Love And Faith

You Shall ... At The Appointed Time

Enjoy The Great Reward!

Don't Permit The Fraud

To Become Your Also-Dying God
Else The Lake

Burning With Brimstone And Fire

Will Be Your Just And Only Reward!

Stand Up ... Boldly ... For Jesus Christ 

The One, Eternal, Holy, God!

Praise!
Exalt!

Be A Champion Of The Holy Faith

Lift Up Our Wise Lord!

Great Is Your Reward In Heaven!
Even Now We Are Approaching Heaven's Pearl Gates!

Be Ye Warned And Filled ... 

There Is No Point 
To Gaining Saving Knowledge Of The Lord Jesus Christ 
If 

That Knowledge Does Not Lead Us To Change Our Thoughts

Our Words ... Our Deeds

And 

To Endeavor To Become Like Him! 
In Him Is Our Bliss!

We Must ... By The Holy Spirit's Leading

Give Up Sin

Grow In Grace ... In Grace

And 

Acquire The Heavenly Graces

If 

It Is Our Desire 
To Go Up To Heaven 
To Live Forever With Our Lord! 

Do Not Be Fooled ...

Denying The Lord Is Also Sin
And
We Will Never Be Saved In Sin 

So Reach For The Extended Hand 

And 

Let The Lord Christ Guide You 
Sagely, Safely, Securely

On Your Walk To Hill Zion! 
Of Tribe Judah, He Is The Lion!

Deny Self ... The Known Bold Sinner

And 

Lift Up Jesus ... Our Only Savior
Who, Alone, Saves 

And 

Start Living The New Life Today!

Don't Help The Scape Goat!

Make Sure That For Your Confessed

Repented-Of Sin

He Shall Surely Pay!

Soon Comes The Blessed Day!

Never Alone!?!

Selfishness

And

Self-Satisfaction

Are Prominent Members Sitting Proud 
In The Front Row In The Big Church!

They Are Known Churls!

Maledictions At Others They Love To Hurl

And

Their Favorite Expression

Often To Be Heard

Is

"Am I My Brother's Keeper!?!"

To The Flock Of The Living God's Sheep

That They Treat Like A Wandering Wild Goat Herd!

Were You To Hear Them

You Would Be Ashamed

For They Are Self-Serving

And

Do Not The Ways Of The Master Proclaim!

They Lie, Cheat, Steal

Short-Change And Gainsay

And

As For Caring For The Least Of These

The Good Lord's Dear Sheep

They Take The Greatest Pleasure

From Finding Ways

Those Things Designated For Others
Covetously For Themselves To Keep!

They Are Not Ashamed To Smooze

To Get What They Choose
And

They Are Not Ashamed To Beg

Even If What They Want Is Bootleg!

They Have Nothing In Their Character Called Shame
And

The Only Thing That Is Certain 

I Tell You Plain

Is

That Where They Are Going

Is Going To Be Hotta Flames!

Feed My Sheep!

     Feed My Lambs!

These Words Of The Master

To Their Souls Bring No Calm

For Service Requires Sweat

Blood, Love, Consideration

And

Real Tears

And

A Laying Of Burdens

At The Feet Of Him

Who For Our Purchased Souls

Does Sacrificially Care!

They Are All About Self!

Self Is A Known Sinner!
The Sinner Sins
And

Sin Is A Sore On The Soul
And

The Soul Bereft Of The Breath Of Life Is Dead!
These Two Are Playing Dead
To See What Kind Of Turn-Out They Shall Receive!
'Nuff Said!

Entreaties To Righteousness Falling On Their Ears

Leave Them "Feeling" Deaf:

They Chose Not To Hear The Nice Notes

On Either The Treble Or Bass Cleft!
Of Common Christian Decency
They Are Totally Bereft!

These Bold Sinners
Begrudge The Snails And The Slugs
A Walk On The Lord's Free Dirt!

They Forbid Mountain Springs

Free Droplets To Squirt!

They Forbid The Ants

A Fallen Rice Grain To Receive

And

They Cuss Out All Who Dare ... Their Words 

God's Great Goodness ... Free To All

Ever To Receive! 

They Are All About Me, Myself And I!
They Love Anything Call Mine!
They Consider Themselves Close To Divine
And
If They Are Not Being Talked About
Oh, Deary Me, How They Will Whine!

Brethren, Beloved,

I'll Tell You A Lil' Secret!
These Two Miscreants Fear Always To Be Alone!
They Feel Alone!
They Do Not Think To Trust In Him
Who For Their Personal Sins Did Atone
And So
They Walk In Uncertainty
Trusting Weak And Corruptible Self
And
Fearful Always Of Other Men's Malignity!
Methinks They Need New Hearts Not Made Of Stone!

Dish-Out Does Feel Real Good

But

Pay-Back Is A Female Dog!

So Much For Living

Like A Lic'rish

Never-Satisfied

Wide-Mout' Hog!

Here's A Well-Known Secret ...

Things Cannot Satisfy The Soul
Be Ye Coward, Timid Or Bold
So If You Are Feeling
Alone In The Crowd
You May Want To Take A Serious Look
At The Requirements Of Him
Who Shall Come To Earth Again
On The Angel-Cloud!

Look Within ...

We Say That We Follow Jesus 
But 
How Many Of Us Follow Jesus 
And
Always Do Those Things 
Which Always Please The Father 
So That We Are Not Left Alone!?!

Total Obedience To Almighty God 
Is 
A Necessity 
If
We Desire To Enjoy The Benefits 
And 
Reap The Rewards Of The Glorious Kingdom! 

Are You Feeling Alone!?! 
Then Take A Moment ... Or Two
And
Check Your Present Level Of Obedience
Take Corrective Measures
Seek To Please The Holy God In All That You Do 
And Then
You Will Know For Sure That 
You Are Not Alone
And
Do Walk Not Alone! 

The Blessings

Of

The Eternal, Holy, God

Await

The Obedient! 

WUH YUH GINE DO: Jealous Envious Rebellion

JER Was Very Specific:

Call Me JER!
Not Jer! JER!
And Be Quick About It!

Wow!
Talk About Pride!

What Has He Got To Be Proud About!?!
That Je ... Ooops, JER Is A Straight-Up Menace!

Oh!?!
How So!?!
I Thought He Was Just Overbearing!

No, My Friend!
That JER ... Properly Identified By His Own Mother
Is
Jealous Envious Rebellion!

Who In The Name Of All That's Holy
Calls A Child Jealous Envious Rebellion!?!

His Dear Olde Mumsy, Rap Scallion!

Let Me Guess!
His Father's Name Is Devilish Discontent!

Close  ... But No Candy Bar!

His Dear Old Dad Is None Other Than
Divide N. Conquer
Barber To The Stars
Willful, Wayward
And
Definitely Unwise!

Wow!

That's Quite An Indictment!

It's Well Earned And Wantonly Displayed
And
A Decided Menance
To All Who Desire ... In Spades
From Known-Sin To Escape!

Okay! Let's Have It!
I Can Feel A Needed Lesson Coming On ...!

... And You, Beloved, Would Be Right!

Brethren,

Our Name Is Our Character!
Our Character Is Our Name!
One Cannot Be Separated From The Other
So, Please, Do Not Live Your Life In Vain!

No Man Is An Island!
No Human Walks This Earth Alone!
We Sin By Thought
By Word
By Deed
And
If It Is Our Desire To Be Saved From Self
From Sin ... From Sinning
We Must The Words Of The Living God Heed!

A Word To The Wise ...

What You Do Not Only Impacts You
It Impacts Many Others
Many Seen And Known
And
Many More Unseen And Unknown! 

Who Is The Most Notorious Sinner
In The History Of Almighty God's Creation!?!

That's Easy!
That Would Be His Nibs
His Presumptuousness
Olde Satan Fka Lucifer, Himself!

Satan's Sin Started War In Heaven
Destroyed Myriads Of Angels
Caused Eve And Adam To Disobey

Caused Us To Be Born In Sin

Caused Cain To Kill His Brother, Abel

Causes Us To Sin
And 
Caused Jesus Christ's Death! 
Remember, Now, One Sinner!

Jesus Christ The Righteous
- Being The Only One Good - 
Has Given Us Life! 
Hold That Thought Close In Your Heart!

Sinning Impacts All Beholders Negatively 
And 
Damns The Doer! 
Doing Good Impacts Us All Positively 
And 
Blesses The Doer
The Beholders 
And 
The Receivers ...! 

... Don't Forget The Hearers In The Future!

Good Point!

The Good That We Do Lives After Us!

The Evil That We Do Lives After Us!

Brethren,

Thinking Back To What The Lord Has Said
About Sinning By Word, Thought And Deed
We Truly Need A Heart-Transplant
A Thought-Pattern Adjustment
And
We Need To Make Our Walking-Wise Stick
The Living, Holy, Infallible, Word
As Spoken, Recorded, Preserved
Through The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit Of God!

From The Womb To The Tomb
Man Is Doomed
Unless And Until He
Accepting The Call Of The Master
Reaches For The Extended Hand
And
Chooses ... Free-Willed
To Walk As Jesus Christ Walked!

Repentance Is Good For All Souls!

The JER One's Of This World
Seriously Need To Buy The Free Clue
Or They Shall Pay The Ultimate Price
For Their Practiced And Promulgated Rebellion
Which We Well Know Shall Lead Many  
To Hell ... No Undoing! 

Your Watch-Word ... Always ... Shall Be:

Think Before You Act!

Pray Before You Display!

Wuh Yuh Gine Do ...

We Have Free Will 
And
Choice
So Let's Each Ask Ourselves
The Simple Questions:

Am I Choosing To Live For Self Or The Lord!?! 

Will Someone Be Blessed By My Life Today!?!

Am I Striving For The Eternal Reward!?!

I Appeal To Us All
To Consciously Think On Jesus Christ ... All Day
In All Ways
And 
Be Blessed To Be A Blessing Always!

Remember ...

Heaven Awaits The Obedient
The Faithful
The Righteous
The Enduring
Aka The People Of Almighty God And Christ!

May The Holy Angels Protect Us
And
Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right
And
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Guide And Chide Us
And
Lead Us Into All Truth
So That We Will Our Savior, Lord, God And King
Bless And Completely Delight!

AMEN!!!

CONQUEROR: On The Battle-Field ... Of The Mind!

The Battle Over Sin Is Won

In The Garden Of Prayer 

By Self-Denial

Through Full Cooperation 

With The Holy Spirit Of Truth:

Victory Is Ours

Whether We Are Old, Middling

Small Child Or Stripping Youth!

Jesus Christ Conquered Satan

Not By Cold Steel Or Powerful War-Horse!

Jesus Christ Conquered Satan

By The Living Word 

And

By Prayerful Obedience

With Consuming Love For The Lost

And

We Who Say We Follow Christ

Must Follow Him

In Thought

By Word

And

With Deeds

Starting At The Throne Of Grace

Expressing Love

Confessing Known Sin

Repenting Of The Past

Believing The Living Word

Accepting The Gift Of Life

Trusting The Promises

Following The Lord

Worshipping Wisely

Praising Wholly

Thanking God Gratefully

And

Girded By Gifts Of Infinite Love

From Him Who Is Eternal Love

Working ... By Faith

With Diligence And Endurance

With Our Backs To The Dying World 
And

Our Hearts Fixed Upon Our Master 

Knowing Of A Surety

The Battle Has Already Been Fought
And
With Finality
Won!

But How Can I, Personally, Win A Battle

That I, Personally, Have Not Yet Fought!?!

Beloved,
Our War Is On The Battle-Field Of The Mind!

I Don't Understand What You Mean!

Dear Heart,
When We Keep Our Minds Fixed And Focused 
Upon The Lord Jehovah

Our Hearts Will Truly Be Blessed: He Promised!
We Are In His Holy, Can't-Fail Care!

Understand This ...

Let's Thank The Living God
For Present Great Grace
And 
Soon-Coming Unimaginable Glory!

AMEN!!!

Jesus Christ: S. A. D.

She Said Jesus Christ Is Sad!

He Is!

Why Is He Sad!?!

He Isn't!

Come Again!?!
Either He's Sad Or He Isn't!
He Can't Be Both!

He Is ...!

... He Isn't!

Will Somebody Please Explain To Me
Why Jesus Is Either Sad Or Not!?!

Jesus Christ Is

S avior
A dvocate
D eliverer

So, For Short
Jesus Is S. A. D.!

He Is G.L.A.D.

G od
L ord
A dvocate
D eliverer

He Is A G.L.A.S.S.

A

G racious
L oving
A vailable ... Accessible
S anctifier
S hepherd And Shield

Oh! 

Okay! I'll Remember That!

Now Getting Back To Our Study ...

Psalm 19:7
The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect
Converting ... The Soul!

How Can The Moral Law Of God Be Abolished
When It Is That Which Converts The Soul!?!

It Can't!

Without Moral Law

There Is Only Crime And Chaos Left!

The Holy Spirit God Is Real
And
Is Our Only Defence Against Sinning!
He Teaches!
He Guides!
He Chides

And
He Leads Us Into All Truth

So The Question Must Be Asked:

How Shall We Escape 

If 

We Neglect So Great A Salvation!?!

We Won't!

The Word Of God Is True

And It Stands Eternally

And It Is By That Word

That All Flesh Shall Be ... With Finality

Judged! 

Alrighty, Then!

I Am Almost Persuaded

But I Need A More Convenient Time
To Commit To The Ways Of The Lord
That Will Lead Me Into Soul-Saving Truth!

I Am Praying For You!

Those Words Are The Words 

Used By Governor Felix

And

King Agrippa

And

Neither Of Them "Found" The More Convenient Time

Nor Were Finally Persuaded

And

They Are Both Lost To The Living Kingdom!

Now Is The Acceptable Time!

Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Be Ye Warned And Armed ...

A Neglected Child Hurts!!
A Neglected Soul Sins
A Neglected Wound Putrifies!
The Neglected Savior Cries!
A Neglected Love Languishes!
A Neglected Salvation Sours!
The Neglected Holy Spirit Leaves
The Soul That Sins, Dies
Because
It Does Not Known-Sin Escry Aka Call-out
Because
Self Is To Self Sacrosanct
Elevated
Praised
And
The Lord Of Life Is Cast Aside
Because
We Refuse To Use The 

"Yes, Lord! Your Servant Is Listening!" 
By Which Means We Can Boldly Defy The Fraud
Satan
The Wannabe God!

Oh, Please!

Satan Is A Lying, Murdering

Deceitful, Snake Of An Ingrate!

Tell That Felicia, Bye, Bye!

Those Few Words Are Easily Spoken

But

Without The Grace Of The Eternal God

The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit

And

The Protection And Good Influence Of

The Holy Angels

We Will All Perish!

Brethren, Beloved

On The Living, Holy, Exalted, Christ Jesus

Let Us Rely!

Soon He Is Coming Back To Earth

And

We Shall Surely Tell Sin, Satan, Sorrow, Sadness

Self, Death, Hell And The Cold Grace

Goodbye!

It Is My Prayer Of Faith ... Nothing Wavering 

That We Shall All Meet In The New Jerusalem

In That Time  

After The Lord Christ Breaches The Eastern Sky!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Asher

I Said That There Is No Happiness

Outside Of The Lord Jesus Christ

And

He Said: "Bite Your Tongue!"

And Ever Since Then

He's Been Walking About Like That!

Who Are You Guys Talking About!?! 

Asher! 

What's Wrong With Him!?! 

Why Don't You Ask Him And Find Out For Yourself!?! 

Okay! 

Heyyyy, Asher! 

How Are You Doing!?! 

I'm Happy! 

I Used To Be Happy! 

I Thought I Was Happy! 

I'm Not Happy! 

When Will I Be Happy!?! 

Where Is Happy!?! 

Are You Happy!?! 

Who Is Happy!?! 

You Can't Buy Happy! 

I Thought I Cornered The Market On Happy ...! 

... Ooookay, Asher! 

That's Good To Know ... Hear! 

Merciful Powers! 

What Happened To Asher!?! 

He Sounds Like He Lost Mind! 

Oh, No! 

He's Still There! 

It's Just That He Is Finally Realizing That

Being "Happy" With Things Is ...! 

... Temporal And Temporary!?! 

Well, Yes! 

May I Assume That You Attended This Rodeo Before!?! 

Oooh, Yes! 

And It Was A Doozy

And I Got Thrown From My Horse

And I Got Gored By That Wild Bull Called Sin

And I Got A Deep Dip In A Bath Of Rotten Tomatoes Called Self

And At The End Of It All

I Came To The Realization

The Very Painful Realization That

Being Carnally, Temporally, Happy

Aka Happy Without My Jesus Being The Point Of My Life 

My Living

My Living My Life

My Life Being Made Worth Living

My Loving

Then I Would Never Be Permanently Happy!

That's Bible, Brother!

Asher Is Feeling Pain ... Now
But
He Should Be Glad
Because 

When We Live In Godly Fear
We Have Nothing To Be Afraid Of
Even If We Have No Home, No Family
No Money, No Food
No Friends ... No Earthly Hope!

Asher!?! 

You Listening!?! 

Yes! 

I'm Hearing You! 

I Know You Are Hearing: You're Not Deaf! 

I Want To Know If You're Actively Listening

Aka Internalizing What You're Hearing!?! 

I Don't Want To ... But I Am! 

Good! Good!

That's Very Good! 

What Else You Got!?! 

I'm Convicted! 

I'm Chewing! 

Now Convince Me! 

Show Me Light! 

I Need Something To Swallow! 

I Need Something To Permanently Satisfy My Soul! 

I Am Hungry! 

I Need Meat On These Dry Bones! 

Oh, My! 

He's Been Really Listening! 

Didn't I Tell You That He Was Still In There!?! 

Yes, Indeed, You Did! 

Well, Brethren
We All Heard Him!
He Has Asked For Meat! 

Jesus Christ Is A Plate Of Good Food! 

You, Man

Must Spear A Morsel With Your Fork!

The Holy Spirit

The Cleaver Of Truth

Cuts A Bite-Size Piece For Your Chewing

And You, Man

Must Raise Your Fork To Your Mouth

If ... When 
You Truly Desire Good Eats! 

Asher, This One's For You: 

Asher!?!
You're Crying!

No, I'm Not!
My Eyeballs Are Just Sweating!

Okay! If You Say So!
Can You Tell Us Why Your Eyeballs Are Sweating!?!

Do You Know What My Name Means!?!

Of Course, We Do!
Everybody Knows Your Name Means Happy!

Happy! That's Me!
Do I Look Happy!?!
I Must Be Happy ...!

... In Christ Jesus!

Yes! Yes! 

I Finally Get It! 

Jesus Christ Must Be First, Last And Always! 

Jesus Christ In Our Lives

Is 
For The Best! 

Take A Listen, Again, To The First And Last Verses Of The Text:

KJV Proverbs 3

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,

and the man that getteth understanding.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Wisdom Comes From The Lord God Almighty ... Alone! 

All Who Look For Jesus Christ

- Who Is Now Calling To Man - 

Shall Find Him

And

Wisdom

And

Shall Gain The Understanding 
To Strive For Heavenly Things Which Are Eternal! 

You Need To Let Your Striving 
For The Things Of This Earth Cease

Because

The Lord Has Promised Us An Eternal Home

A New Name

A Crown Of Life

Water From The River Of Water Of Life

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

And 

A Life Ever Close To Him Who Is Life! 

Earthly Riches

- Be They Silver, Gold, Toys, Houses Or Land -

Will All Burn! 

We All Need To Buy The Free Clue
To Rightly Adjust Our Stinking Thinking:

The Streets Of The Beloved City

- The Beautiful City - 

New Jerusalem

Are All Paved With Imperishable Gold

And

The Foundations Of The City Are Precious Stones And...! 

... Don't Forget That

The Twelve Gates Of The City

Are Each A Single Pearl! 

Not To Be Mercenary Or Any Such Thing

But Put Like That

I Know For Sure That I Need To Live For Jesus Christ! 

Brother, 

We All Started With The Mercenary Bit

But

We Love Our Lord Jesus 
Because 
He First Loved Us

And

Everything He Has Promised 

The Things We Can Touch, Taste, Feel, See, Smell

Are All Bonus! 

We Desire His Life! 

His Character! 

We Desire Him

And

We Desire His Heart To Delight

Because

He Brings Us Joy

Aka He Is Our Happy...ness

Our Happiness! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Joy
And
He Will Bring You Joy ... Happiness
If You Will Let Him!

Brothers, Believe Me!
From Here On In
I Am Going To Let Him!
My Way Has Not Worked
Soooo, Having Nothing To Lose
I Am, Indeed, Going To Try
The Jesus Way!

AMEN!!!
