Wisdom ... Temptation ... Praying

Just Because I'm Young
It Doesn't MEAN That I'm Foolish
And Just Because You All Are Old
It Doesn't That All Of You Are Wise!

WATCH your Mouth, Young Lady!
You Weren't Born In A Barn!
Remember, It Isn't What You Say Always
It Is How You Say It!

Brother Phussie
I'm Am Sick And Tired Of Always Being Told That 
I'll UNDERSTAND Things When I Get Older!

I'm Getting Older Every Day 
And I Can Tell You That 
I Understand A Lot More Than You Credit Us With!

Okay, Mecina!
Speak Your Piece!

Brethren, 
Please Listen To Her Attentively!

Brethren, 
I'm In A Quandary That Is Starting To Look Like A Quagmire 
And I Cannot For The Life Of Me Understand Why
If Sin Is Our Disease 
And Jesus Christ Is Our Cure
And 
If We Are Cursed
And The Earth Is Cursed For Our Sakes
And
Since Jesus Christ Came To This Earth
And Showed Us How To Live
And Died Our Death
And Got Up And Rose Up To Glory
And Thereby
Secured For Us New Bodies ... New Lives
And New Homes In Glory Land
And On An Earth Made New
Why Are Some Many Persons 
- Including Some Of Our Very Church Members -
Willing To Die To Get Earthly Mansions
And Are Pleased To Visit Plastic Surgeons 
So That They May Appear Ever-Young
When We Have Immortality, Incorruptibility
Eternal Youth
And An Everlasting Home Compliments Of
The Majesty Of Heaven!?!

Shouldn't We So-Called Christ Followers
Be Quick To Tell Unbelievers 
And Other Apparently Disinterested Parties
That Without Jesus Christ
Man Has Nothing Better
That Jesus Christ Saves
That He Loves Us ... Unconditionally 
Unreservedly
Unendingly!?!

Why Do So Many Want To Hold On To This Earth
Even Willing To Cannibalize Their Brethren
When The Lord Christ Himself
Is Going To Burn It Up!?!

Why Are We Refurbishing Bodies That Are Known Terminal
That Cannot Enter The Eternal City
That MUST Be Changed Into Christ's Glorious Body!?!

Why Don't We Believe The Word Of God Absolutely!?!

Why Are We Second-Guessing 
The Living Word Of The All-Knowing God
Who Is Ever-Present
And Whose Eyesight Extends To The Infinite!?!

Why Are We So Afraid To Believe!?!
To Trust
To Wait ... Patiently
Packed And Prepared For Travel!?!

Why Are We Afraid To Pray
Or More Specifically
Pray Big Prayers!?! 

Why Won't We Let Go Of Self
And Get A Strangle-Hold On Our Savior!?!

Why Don't We Sincerely Believe The Word Of God Enough
To Stop Picking It Apart
And Mansplaining What Almighty God Dictated To Us 
By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth!?!

I Guess That My Real Question Is
When Are We Going To Start ... Believing 
Believing That Our Lord Jesus
Our Holy God Eternal
Cannot Fail!?!

Mecina, Dear Child
Belief Is A Heart Issue
A Personal Issue
Between Our Self And Our God
And 
That Is Why We Are Each, Personally, Called Upon
To Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation
With Fear, Godly Fear, And Trembling!
Resisting The Devil Is Not A Futile Exercise!

On The Issue Of Prayer 
And A Sideways Touch Regarding Temptation
Because
We Are All Often Tempted Not To Indulge Praying
I Offer To You ... To Us All
This Thought ... Caution ... From Dr. Luke:




Christians Should Always Repair To Prayer! 
Praying Is Powerful!
Jesus Christ Often Had All-Night Prayer Meeting With His Father
And 
We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing! 
We Are Always Going To Face Temptation 
And As I Said Before
Even Temptation To Not Pray
And 
We Are Going To Need Strength 
To Resist The Tempter ... By The Word! 

The Way To Receive Strength For The Battle 
Is 
Through Praying! 

However, Please Do Not Forget That Praying Without Faith 
Is 
Just Like Spitting Into The Air 
And 
Expecting A Shower Of Rain To Fall: It Isn't Going To Work! 

Beloved, 

I Encourage You
To Raise Up Your Prayers In Faith ... No Doubting
And 
He Who Is Ever Faithful Will Deliver For You 
According To His Will, His Way
And 
His Time! 
The Heartfelt, Humble, Prayers Of The Righteous
Avails, Accomplishes, Much! 
Keep Your Eyes On Christ Jesus!

And Furthermore

I Encourage You To Remember That
Our Lord Christ Has 1,000 Ways To Save Us
About Which We Know Nothing
So See To It That You Pray ... With Passion!

Dare To Light A Candle For The Devil To See That
You And Your Lord
Are In A Committed Relationship
And
Let Your Life Be An Epistle For All Who Observe You! 

I Commend You To The Lord:
Commit Your Way To His Leading!

Amen, And Thanks, Kindly!
I Appreciate You
And I Bless God For The Gift Of Faith!!
