Stop Telling Me How I Should Pray!

I Don't Know About You, But I Am Heartily Sick And Really Tired Of People Telling Me How I Should Pray To Make The Living God Answer My Prayers And Give Me What I Want, How I Want It, And When I Want It! 

What Do You Think Is The Purpose Of The Holy Spirit Who Interprets Our Prayers!?! 

If I Can "Make" The Lord, The God Of Glory, Answer My Prayers, I Am God, And I Don't Need That Living God, And I, Therefore, Have No Need To Pray! 

Do You See The Stupidity That Is Masquerading As So-Called Good Theology!?! 

Did You Hear The One About The Lord Using Only Those Persons With A Particular Birthdate!?! 

Either People's Brains Burping On The Regular, Or The Clowns Running The Circus! 

Or Mice In The Good Seed, Bats In The Belfry ...! 

... Or We Are Lazy, Becoming Lazy, Or Are Choosing To Let Others Plant, Raise, Harvest, And Serve Us Our Food Already Masticated Aka Already Chewed, Ready To Swallow! 

Hell And Damnation!?! 

Right In One! 

But Getting Back To This Perfect Prayer That The Lord Can't Refuse: Isn't That The Prayer Of Faith!?! 

Yes, It Is, BUT Even Then The Lord, In Infinite Wisdom And Mercy For Love Toward Us, Sometimes Says "No!" To Our Faith-Filled Petitions! 

But, Grannum, What Is Being Revealed Is That That Malevolent Spirit Is At Work And Working Overtime And Gaining Staff! 

Yes, Pinks, He Is, But It Is Also Exposing And Reinforcing The Eden Conspiracy! 

I Can't Say That I've Ever Heard That Expression, Grannum! 

Well, Pinks, Remember Eve Believing The Stranger, Not Her God, And Accepting That The Forbidden Fruit, Easy On The Eye, Could Make Her Wise And God-Like! 

Consider These Prayer Coaches  Guaranteeing The Year Of The Lord's Favor: What's The Difference Between Them And Satan And His Fallen Angels!?! 

None! 

The Lord Gave Us A Framework For Prayer: Use It! 

He Said: Pray And Plead With Thanksgiving For Everything! He Said Believe! He Said Pray Without Ceasing! What He Did Not Say Is Let Someone Who Is Not You Pray As You For What You Want, Need, With Formulaic Intensity! 

You Are An Individual With A Direct Line To The Heart Of God ...! 

... Sorry To Cross You, But I Just Remembered About The One That Says That You Can't Pray Lying On Your Bed! 

Alright, Already, Thompie! Color Me Ridiculous! Are We Really Going To Accept This Rubbish And Believe That The Good God In Heaven Will Reject The Prayers Of The Bed-Ridden, The Invalided, The Hospitalized, Those Languishing Prostrate On Beds Of Torture, Because They Cannot Stand Up Or Kneel Before His Exalted Self, Because He Is "Fragile" And Will Not Be Disrespected By An Unbended Knee!?! 

Sounds Right ... Per Them! 

Is This What We Have Come To!?! Isn't Our God Gracious, Long-Suffering, Gentle, Kind, Loving ... Understanding ... Seeing Other Than We See, Remembering That We Are Dust, Knowing Our Frame!?! 

"Yes!" On All Points! So, Who Is Signing Pay-Checks For These  Charlatans!?! 

Somebody Satan-Adjacent! 

You Ain't Lying, Lucy! 

Father, In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus, Grant Us Your Grace, Your Strength, And Keep Us Strong In And By The Word Of Truth To Withstand The Slithering Evil Masquerading As A "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Be Wise For Your Own Self And Unto Salvation! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Who Is He To You!?!

Let's See: Director, Protector, Leader, Feeder, Teacher, Shelter, Counselor PLUS My Glory, My Crown! 

Now Tell Us How Many Of These Do You Wittingly, Willingly, Permit Him To Be To You Each And Every Day!?! 

Bro. Brinks, Are We Fronting Or Factual!?! 

Oh, Come On, Macy! You're Not Supposed To Say The Quiet Part Out Loud!!! 

It's Pertinent, Cassy, And You Know It! 

Okay, Brethren, Let's Stay On Track! Macy, You Well Know That Fronts Fail And Facts Assail! 

In That Case, Bro. Brinks, Every Day, Without Thought, The Lord Is My Feeder And I Accept That Good Food Which He Provides Me As My Due ...! 

... Macy, You Can't ...! 

... Don't Interrupt Me! I'm Spitting Facts Not Fantasy For Face For A Choir! 

I "Permit" The Lord To Be My Teacher And Counselor Sometimes, But Especially When I'm In A Bind With No Obvious Way Out! 

On A Good Day, The Lord Will "Get" To Be My Leader, Shelter And Protector And, Being Me, When I Recognize These Mercies, I Accept Them Without So Much As A "Thank You, Lord, I Love You!" Because, Well, Why Not, It's His Job! 

Macy, No!!! 

Don't Stop, Macy, You're Telling The Facts Aka The Truth For This Hour! We All Do It But You're The Only One Of Us Honest Enough To Say It Publicly! 

Oh, Boy, We Can Always Trust Our Macy To Stir Up A Red-Ants Nest!

Girlie, These Ants Stinging Me In Strange Places And The Burning Ain't No Joke! 

Same, Sadie, Same! 

Brethren, When I'm "Feeling" Generous Aka My Neck Is In A Noose, Knickers In A Twist, Or I Have Experienced A "Dear Lord, Save Me!" Bum-Rush, I Ever So Grudgingly, Eyelids Down, "Allow" The Good Lord To Be My Director ... My Savior! 

And For My Piece de Resistance, No Shame In My Game, I Judiciously Acquire Aka Assume The Lord As My Glory And My Crown In The Presence Of Those Whom I Accept As Like-Minded Believers And, Of Course, Upon Entering The Church Building For Whatever Reason ... And For Sure, For Service! Now Tell Me I Lie! I Dare You! 

Bro. Brinks, Please Correct ...!  

... Bro. Brinks, Surely You're Not ...! 

... Bro. Brinks, You Need To ...! 

... Don't You All Dare "Bro. Brinks!" Me! Do You Actually Believe That Macy Is Only Speaking To You And Not To Me As Well! 

Say It Ain't So, Bro. Brinks! 

I'm Saying It Is So, Sadie ... And The Rest Of You! We Can No Longer Do Our Ostrich Routines On This Matter Because There Will Be No Own-Clothes Christians In Heaven! 

We Must, Let Me Repeat, We Must Accept, Permit, Allow, The Lord Jesus Christ To Be Our All-Facets All-Day Everything God Of All Grace If We Desire To Have A Seat At His Table In Glory! THAT Is Non-Negotiable! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Not To Be Stored In A Nine-Compartment Box With The Compartments To Be Pulled Out As. And. Or. When We "Feel" Like It ...! 

... Yeah! Feelings Get People Prejudicially Corpsified! 

Very True, Deena! 

Dear Ones, What Macy Said, What I Am Saying, Is Not To Make Us Feel Badly About Ourselves! 

These Things Are Said To Cause Us To Know, Remember, Never Forget, Always Embrace First, Last, Always, The Truth, The Presence, The Love That Is, Who Is, Our Blessed-Forever Lord Jesus! 

Let Us Pray ... 

Lord Jesus, Please Forgive Our Foolish Ways! Help Us Never To Forget Gethsemane! Help Us To Wisely Walk Into And Stay Within Your Forever Fold Of Safety! 

Help Me, Help Us To Let You Lead Us, Feed Us, Teach Us, Correct Us, Protect Us, Direct Us, Counsel Us ... Shelter Us! 

Be Our Glory, Our Crown, Our Lord, Our God, Our King! Fit Us On Earth! Dress Us For Heaven! 

Use Us On Earth For Your Glory! And May The Day Never Come Where Anyone Present Here Will Hear The Dread Words: "Refused For Heaven!" Or More Properly "Depart From Me! I Never Knew You!" 

Lord, Save Us! Wash Us In Your Blood Which You Spilled That We May Live Right And Forever! Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Lord, Help Us To Let You Make Our Minds, Our Hearts, Your Home By The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Who Will Lead Us Into All Truth! 

Please, Lord, Watch Over Us, And Help Us To Keep Your Unfailing Holy Faith While We Are Absent One From Another! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Satan Is A Teacher, Too!?!

 

... Humans Learn More From Trouble! You're Not Going To Like What I'm About To Say, But Nevertheless, I'm Still Going To Say It: I Have Learned, I Have Been Taught, Some Unintended And Valuable Lessons ... By Satan! 

Shut Your Mouth, Elowen! 

Why, Cloveen!?! For Speaking The Truth!?! Don't You Know That Even Liars Must Tell The Truth At Some Point In Time!?! Don't You Know That Even Those Who Would Destroy You Teach You Great Lessons ... If You Are Willing To Learn Them!?! 

So What Are These "Great" Lessons And "Truths" That The Piercing Serpent, The Roaring Lion, The Lord Of Dung, The Adversary Of Souls Has Taught You, Elowen!?! 

I'm Glad You Asked, Shari! The Lord's Enemy, Our Enemy, The Adversary Of Our Purchased Souls, Satan The Damned, Has Plainly, Efficiently, And Effectively Taught Me That Covetousness, Envy, Greed, Deceit, Lying, Malice, Narcissism, Obsession, And Self-Worship, Self-Absorption, Have No Place In The Life Of An Ambassador, A Soldier, For Christ! 

He Has Also Taught Me About Keeping My Eye On The Prize, On "Playing" The Long Game, On Devotion To Duty, On Commitment To The Cause That I Wholeheartedly Believe In! 

You Can't Be Serious, Elowen! 

Yes, I Am, Caprice! That Wretch Satan Has Unintentionally, I Am Sure, Taught Me That No Matter The Setbacks, No Matter The Failures, I Must Press On To My Goal With Single-Minded Focus! 

I Am Not Hearing This, Elowen! 

You Better Listen, Caprice! Let Me Ask You This, Then: Isn't It Possible To Learn Something Positive And Preserving From A Negative And Destructive Element And Occurrence!?! 

Of Course, We Can! 

So Why Can't We Learn From Satan's Antics!?! 

Ah, Umm, Well ... It Is ... Well ...! ... How Deep!?! 

Friends, The Lord Said That With Getting Wisdom, We Should Also Get Understanding! Understanding Demands That We Learn Two Great Truths: 

First, That What The Lord Means For Good And For Our Salvation, Satan Will Pervert For Evil And For Our Destruction! 

Secondly, The Lord Plainly Teaches Us What To Do For Abundant Life, Good Health, And Spiritual Elevation, While Satan Teaches Us ... Under Camouflage ... How To Destroy Ourselves With Our Own Thoughts, Words, And Deeds Via Self-Glorification, And Self-Aggrandizement! 

Through Truth, The Lord Teaches Us How To Get Into The Living Kingdom! 

Via Deceit, Satan Teaches Us How To Be Excluded From The Glorious Kingdom: He Is The Exemplar For Those Who Choose To Reject Christ's Free To All Salvation! 

But, Most Importantly, The Best Lesson That Satan Has Taught Me Is That The Word Of The Living God Is True, And To Stick To, To Stand Up For, To Choose To Be Sanctified By The Savior, And To Faithfully Wait With Patient Endurance To Be Sealed At The Appointed Hour By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth, And To Not Create My Own "Heaven" By Known Feigned Aka False Wisdom! 

Sin Slays! 

Salvation Serves And Seals, And By These I Know That I Cannot Lose With Our Lord Jesus! 

Elowen, Dear Heart, I Like How Your Mind Works: You Just Taught Me A Thing! Bless The Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: A Life "Blessed" With No Stress!?!

 

Come, My Precious Ones! Come! 

Uh, Oh, Paredo!

Uh, Hmm, Joe! 

What Do You Think, Fanci!?! Philosophy Or Society!?! 

Neither One! Sis. Bringone Has Been Muttering About Somebody Called Grace And Kissing And Falling Down In The Street And "Them," Whoever They Are, Not Loving Truth! 

Are You Sure About That, Fanci!?! That Surely Sounds Like Gossip And You Well Know That Sis. Bringone Does Not Indulge Gossip Nor Embrace Gossipers! 

Yes, Both Times, Paredo And Joe, But ...! 

Blessings, Beloved! The Lord Is Good To Us, But We Are Not Good To Ourselves Or Each Other! Stop Saying That You're Too Blessed To Be Stressed! 

SIS. BRINGONE!!! That's Practically Heresy! With All Due Respect, Bite Your Tongue! 

Sorry, Cephas, No Can Do! I Have Need Of It Since We Are Going To Do A Bible Rear-View! We Are Going Into The Way-Back Machine! 

Let's Talk Creation! 

Theme: No Stress!?!

Earth: Formless, Void, Darkness Abounded! 

Then Came: Shape, Fill, Light! Who, How!?! 

Clay And Air: Adam! 

Why, How!?! 

A Rib: Eve! 

When, Why, How!?! 

Tower By Nimrod: Language Explosion! 

Where, Why, How!?! 

Noah: 120-Year Sermon And A Cruise Liner/Ark! 

Why, How, What For!?! 

Moses: Split Sea, Dry Ground, Dry Shod Feet! 

You Know The Drill!

What We Have Here, People, Is It A Conundrum, An Enigma, A Mystery OR ...!?! 

Sis. Bringone, What We Have Here Is Commonsense Compliments Of The Only Wise God! Pressure Aka A Stressor, Was Applied And The Promise, A Present, A Presence Was Supplied! What Was, What Is, Shall Be Until The Lord Comes For Us Who Work Out Our Own Salvation With Godly Fear And Trembling! 

Well Said, Alma! 

To Close This "No Stress, Too Blessed To Be Stressed" Nonsense Down For Good, Look Upon Our Lord Jesus In The Garden Of Gethsemane Praying To His Father ...! 

... And Sweating Great Drops Of Blood ... For Us! 

Yes, Royal, For Us! Wasn't That Stress!?! 

Yes, Sis. Bringone! 

Dear Ones, Please Stop Subscribing To And Sponsoring The Nebulous Aka Hazy, Vague, Confused Popular Religion! It Is All Fronts: No Foundation Stone, No Backbone, No Capstone! 

Now, To Beautify Our Precious Time Together, I Ask You To Think Of Those Drops Of Jesus' Blood: What Caused Them, Where They Led, What They Cost Him, What They Purchased, And What We Have Been Gifted And Blessed With As A Result! 

I Have Six Words: 

Six Is The Number For Man! 

The Six Words Point To Word Seven: 

Seven Is God's Number, The Number Of Perfection! 

Six Can Get To Seven Who, For Us, Will Never Be Late! 

Enjoy Your Life In Love With Your Gift Of Access To The Throne Of Grace Even Though Truth Was  Cast Down To The Ground As Stated In Daniel Chapter 8 Verse 12! 

Jesus Christ, God, Gives Us Life, Light, And Is Our Only Peace In This Vale Of Tears! He Has Sent His Holy Spirit To Be With Us Forever To Be Our Comfort, Our Comforter! 

The Holy Spirit, God, With Our Free-Will Cooperation And Desire To Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty Through Our Freedom To Choose Our Own Way To Live, Imbues Us With His Power To Live Lives Of Purity! 

Beloved, Be Wise! You Don't Need Light, Comfort, Peace, And Power, To Live In Purity If There Is NO Stress To Do And Be Otherwise! 

Sis. Bringone, I, For One, Am Glad That Righteousness And Peace Kissed Each Other! Without Them, The Comforter Would Not Have Come To Lead Us Into All Truth! 

I Told You, Fanci! Sis. Bringone Does Not Do Gossip! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

Suddenly, I Feel Great! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
