HAPPY SABBATH + Lord, Send Out The Talking Donkey!

Lord, send out The Talking Donkey
To block my wicked descent
Into evil days and apostate ways!
Lord, expose my sin
And, please help me repent!

Father, show me if I am following the multitude
Walking in sins wicked way and eating devil stew!
Please open the mouth of the donkey
Before the Angel has to unsheath his sword and run me through!

Lord, I have me an old donkey
But all He does is brush squeeze my leg against the wall
So I know I need The Talking Donkey
To check turn me from a terminal fall!

My current donkey like he just a little bit foolish
As all he does is just eat and loud bray
But sometimes he braying does be sounding
Liken he sending up a faithful fretful humble pray.

I don't know who he could be praying for
He better say a pray for he self
'Cause if he hurt my foot leg again
He head gine be mounted on the north wall
On the "This Be Bare Ignorance" shelf!

Lord, I know my eyes are often greedy
And my stomach slow to get to the full
But I am willing to listen
So let Your donkey speak clearly
So nothing he say can be misunderstood!

I listened to my old donkey braying this morning
And it really sound like he saying he prayers
For I heard him calling my name, Lord, I sure - for I heard him say it real plain!

That donkey said:

"Lord, help my old Patty
She staring down the barrel of a gun
She listening to Balak O'brien
But she ain't know he is that wicked Beelzebub!" 

"Lord, Patty is proud and often foolish
She wants to get into the "I Got This Club"
But she don't know that club is full of devils
Who wage war on the soul
Through free spending and idol-worshiping love!"

"Lord, have mercy on my Patty
She don't understand what I say when I bray
She thinks that when I squeeze hurt her leg
That I foolish just wanting to play!"

"Patty don't understand that I'm seeing
That Angel blocking the entrance to 
'Sinners' Welcome' - Licensed Whores Available In Store!"

"The sign my Patty sees is very different 
From the one that I can see real plain,
Patty's sign is covered up covert
And she doesn't see that the Dragon's body
Is rewriting the come-welcome sign:

"Sinners' Welcome - Licensed Store
Whores Reclaimable
Work Available"

"Lord, please help my Patty! 
Give me Your Voice today as I pray
Please don't let Patty continue on this way
Open her ears, Lord, even as I bray
Please, Lord!
Let Dear Patty hear what I say as I pray!
BrraaayyyMen!?!!"

Lord, have mercy!
De donkey does talk!
Lord, have  'is mercy!
He talks! He talks!!

Thank you, Lord, for the blessing
Now, now, I can see
That You, Lord, God Almighty
Really, really, looking out for me!

Donkey, Dear donkey, I love you!!

Braaaayyy!!

There are no Prostitutes in Paradise!

Heed the Donkey squeeze! 

Turn your back to the breeze! 

Gird your loins!

Pull up your sleeve, and pray:

"Lord, help me, please

To walk the straight and narrow way every day!"

Playing With Satan!?

Satan suffers from Overconfidence!
He does not suffer from Stupidity!
So if you think you can play
Walk away, and don’t pay
Heads Up! You must be drinking
Rum of Mount Gay!

You can’t go up to Satan and tell him
“Today is our day - let’s play!”
And think that tomorrow
You’ll walk among pretty flowers
Hello! You’re just a popinjay!

Satan knows man from his Study
Satan knows man from their often play
Satan knows man needs Jesus
And that’s why he tries to stop you saying your prayers!

It isn’t that he loves, or even likes, you
It isn’t as though he cares whether you read The Bible every day
All he wants is to make sure you don’t recognize The Real Jesus
And that’s why he keeps your eyes staring at the floor, for
To know Jesus is to love Him
And to pray to God in Jesus’ name
Will get rid of the all the bores/boars
Which bombard you and bite you
And savage your hand
And keep you always facing the unplowed - fallow - land!

Listen up! Pay me some attention!
I was just like you
Only yesterday, but today
I have been renewed
And now Satan and I feud
‘Cause I’m done with down
For Sin I have eschewed!

Read your Bible - and pray!
Sing a glad song on your way!
Don’t look down
Turn that frown over and around and
Look UP! for Jesus IS soon
Coming ... DOWN!

The Master vs. The Matador

When Jesus calls me unto life

He tells me before what I am to live for

Yet, Satan calls me unto death

And I am not one whit wiser at the core!

This paradox puts me in a quandary

Betwixt life to live, death to deplore

Do I trust the Master of Full Disclosure

Or Deadly Deception the Dragon Matador!

Heavenly Father - You are God

You live above the cloud - You rule in love

Open my eyes - cleanse You my heart

My will is on the altar - inspiration impart!

Deception, decay, denials, threats repeat

Dishonesty, deformity

Dismay, dread deceits

Deviants dancing in disarray

Demonic activity - everything a lark

If I choose Walking in Hell’s Play Park!

Deprivation  and denial of self

Sorrow for sin

Repentance off the shelf

Narrow walking path

Poor the life and the living

Hard words - oft’ misrepresented by the churls

Open communion with The Lord - not the world

Enter into Heaven when the sky unfurls!

Thank You, Father

For Full Disclosure

Nothing is hid from my sight

I may enter Your enclosure

As long as I walk

The Straight and Narrow Way

No deception from the Matador

From You can make me stray!

Thank You, Father!

Amen! Let it be!

You are The God of Love

This much I can see

I will You my will

My heart to You I give

I choose life today

Lord! Let me Live!

VESPERS At the End of the Sabbath - Which god is God?

I believe God’s truth but

You believe Old Satan’s bold lies

My God's Holy Spirit lives inside me

Your god lives in your clouded eyes, and

He does nothing to help or protect you

For he has no Heaven-given bona fides!

I know my God is faithful

I feel His loving care - EVERY DAY!

Your god has no love for you

And he surely does not seem to care

If you are sad - or happy

If you are having a day - or night - mare

For he is the one who neglects you and

He is not one to offer an ear!

"Come unto me!" says my Heavenly Father

"Come, and you will find rest!"

Your god is the god of all trouble

He’ll stir up - and set you upon - an ant’s nest for

He wastes no time to comfort - or guide you

Into places where you can shine and be at your best!

I ask you: "Which one is the Real God?

Which one welcomes us into rest?

Which one is the One who created us

And answers us when trouble’s on the chest?

I tell you your god is a masquerader!

He is wearing a carnival costume!

He has no right to your allegiance for

He can’t even create a simple bloom!

Infidel, Deceiver, Father of Lies, He

Who suffered from the disease of the I’s

He coveted the Throne of our Father

And seeks to deny us the right to be in bliss!

And if you think that he is your friend

Take a peak at his published hit-list!

How, then, can you choose to honor that god

Who can do nothing to help himself?

Too proud to say: “Father, I’m sorry!”

Too arrogant before His God to bow down

And because he is an incorrigible

He plays the Burning-Man Song:

“Don’t be a Jesus follower

His life is totally the pits

He wants you to pray and to worship

And, ewwww! that gives me the spits!

Come play with me - I really party!

Come party with me - I’m happy to play!

Kick you some puppies as you pass by

Party every day until you die!

Why rest and reflect on your past sins

Come to Bacchanal - I’m teaching some lovely new ones!

I’m the god of Feels and Sensations, and

With me in the lead you’ll experience all!”

Well, my friend, I don’t know about you, but

I will stay with my Almighty God!

The One who loves me enough to chastise me

The One who helps me when I mess up, and fall

The One I cry to when I worry

The One I lean upon when sorrow calls

The One who is The Lord, The True Shepherd

The One God who can destroy Satan’s 8-ball!

No masquerader god will I follow

No party-animal leader for me

No funster who is always about gaming

No specter called Satan will pick me off!

I - a Christian - will walk holy, and in order

I - a Child of the King, and Redeemed - will stand tall

I - a True Believer - in Hill Calvary

I - a Sinner turned Saint - await my Heavenly Call!

Prayer: Help Me To Let You Do For Me

Heavenly Father,

help me to walk confidently in Your Light,

 and to do what is right in Your Sight this day, and always.

Help me, Lord, to not take care

of another problem for myself today, for my 

taking care of them in my own strength 

never causes them come out to my benefit. 

Help me to not decide that I can

make my own way plain, for my decision-making 

often leaves me writhing in pain inside. 

Please, Father, help me to let go of my willful self and

allow You do what You know is best for me.

Help me, Lord, to remember that

my one right decision led me to You, Who, 

for the love of this great sinner, 

met Your death at Calvary to purchase 

my pardon, and to set me free

from a burdensome life of sinning.

And, Lord, that freedom that You purchased for me, 

I offer it to You as my sacrifice today, and I

beseech You to accept this offering, for it comes

from my freewill. 

I also ask You, please, to carry me, step by step,

along the rough way, and throughout this toilsome day.

I love You, Lord. AMEN.

Father, This is Just a Short Note

Father, this is just a short note to say that 

I love You!

I need You!

I trust You!

Father, I bless You for Your Hand of provision, and my deliverance, each and every day.

The trials are many (no cross no crown!) - that's not so bad - but it's the petty comments

against my chosen lifestyle that are a bit hard to take.

"Come and have fun!"

I don't want to have their idea of fun!

" You're going to die anyway!"

Lord I'll die in You - not without You, 

and definitely not regretful!

I know that I'll live again for You know my name, 

and it's written down with those of the saints of all ages!

Glory be to Jesus - I'll see Him as He is, with nothing between!

Home, home, my heart is beating!

Home, home, is all it says!

Home, home to be with my Jesus

Father, help me count the ways!

My transport to heaven is coming and

Yes! It's already on the way!

Thank You!
