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!"

Around The Truth?!

Today I found out something
That made me feel real bad!
I liked being "around the truth"
And that, of course, makes Jesus sad.

Now, if I had been "in" the truth
My life would be so peaceful
But being around the truth
Allowed me to act wholly deceitful.

I put on my "stepping out in-the-truth" clothes
I put on my "walking in-the-truth" shoes
I put on my "showing myself to be in-the-truth" face
But I did not ingest the truth - nor did I seek its embrace.

I spoke great words of truth to all
I sang the songs of truth for all
I even went down by the market stalls
And that is when I had a bad taste of bitter gall.

Old Delbert was a simple man
Who knew His God and His Salvation Plan
And when he asked me to stay for a span
I should have run for he proceeded my guilty conscience-flame to fan.

Old Delbert lovingly tore me to shreds
Asking me to believe in God and not only with my head
He strongly, gently, pushed, and urged
Me to stop trusting in God by using the Bell curve.

Oh, dear, I said within my mind
If he wasn't so nice I would have cussed out his behind
For denying me my most sacred cows
Lip service, good works but no holy unto God vows.

What more does this God want from me?
I already give him my time and money!
Shouldn't I have something for myself
For after working hard I need to set me a spell!?

I must have me some "Me-time!"
No sharing, no touching, no thoughts
Of others - nor God - just leave me alone!
I gotta have me a gossip! Where my telephone?

Well, I had me my good old gossip, see
And that is when I realized that Grandma FiFi
Was writhing on the floor and reaching out for me
And that is when I screamed out for God
And realized all along that ...I ... had ... been ... a real fraud
For I wanted God to do me a good
Because I wanted, no,  needed it - not because I soundly stood
Upon His Words of Life
But because - for good or ill - I was under life's knife
And needed a friend - The True Friend - God - He
Who would do me a solid even though I was ... ungodly!

My heart in my hand!
My head in the can!
I finally realized that God ain't a Man!
Denial, disrespect, dishonor to Him I gave
But now that I'm in trouble
I want Him to save me
From hurt, grief, destruction
And I saw myself for a slave
To life, to time - I could bondage escape
If only the Truth wasn't just on the page!

Lord, help me to stand!
Please, please, forgive me!
I now understand!
Have Mercy!

Dear Ones,

Even though we take Jesus Christ for granted, He welcomes our Repentant, Humble, Sorrowful, Broken, Hearts to His Everlasting AND Forgiving Arms!

He is waiting! Call on Him! He will answer YOU!!

No Brittle Heart Can Cry!

Today, I had a thought
And, I must confess
That a heart that can cry
Is a heart that is blessed!

Today, I met a man
Who was bouncing a pretty ball
And he sought by his actions
To cause me to fall!

Then, I met a man
Who was wearing working jeans
Who set out with vileness and acidity
To make me feel unclean!

Then, yonder was the man
Good-looking, and striking, tall
Who, in dulcet tones and cultured vanity
Tried to make me answer Satan’s call!

And then, I met ... Him
Who prodded, and me open pried
And with love and gentle touch 
Oh, how He me tried!
My still-longing heart broke
And, with body heaving, I cried:

“Lord, save me!

I’m helpless! 

I’m tired!

I feel pain! 

Lord, my soul is so poisoned

And I duly so complain!

I worry, and wonder -

I’ve wandered - gone astray!

Please, Father! Please help me!

I don’t want to go out in sulphured flames!

You gave me great treasures!

Yes! Laughter and tears!

Tears for my cleansing

And Laughter’s healing claims!

I laugh for Your healing!

I cry - for, Lord, You cleanse!

Please, put a pin in Old Satan!

Please, Lord! Defend! Defend!

Put my tears in Your Bottle!

Hold my heart in Your Hand!

Shelter me with Your Wings!

Save me! I bought #TheJesusSavesPlan!

I deposit my sins

My repentance, my will, and my way

And eagerly await

Compound-compound interest

And dividends so grand

When the Pearl Gates are swung open

By Your Great and Mighty Hand

For my triumphal entry into 

My Heavenly Home in Beulah the Land!”

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!

HAPPY SABBATH! and Stop Making King Jesus Sad

Stop Making King Jesus Sad

Stop majoring in the minors

Stop majoring in the bad

All you’re doing by your behavior

Is making King Jesus sad!

He died to bring you victory

He died to give you new life

Yet for all of His sacrifice

You’re out there living in vice!

Beloved, the time is a coming

When all receive a share

Of what ever they cultivated

And I pray you won’t fall into despair

When you see what you’ll be receiving

For listening to one who was so deceiving

As that serpent who had long been achieving

An army full of the unbelieving!

To those who have trusted on Jesus

To those who love the Great Lord

Bright mansions await the over-comers

Who won victory through Almighty God!

Repent, repent, unbeliever

Repent you mockers of the Word

Repent now, for the night is soon coming

When all will receive their just reward!

Jesus Christ alone is able

Jesus Christ alone can save

Jesus Christ alone grants the victory

Over hell and death and the grave!

Where, Dear One, will you spend Eternity

I pray not out of the Eternal God’s light

I pray not in the lake burning with fire and brimstone

Prepared for Satan and the minions of the night!

Rejoice, sing praise, hallelujah

You children who know the Way

Home to life everlasting

Sing! Oh, how you’ll sing before the Great Throne!

Prayer: Asking God for Renewal

ARE YOU WEARING SIN SHADES?

Oh, Father, have mercy on me!

I give You my sinner’s heart and

Ask You for the renewing that

Comes from repentance

And from rejecting complicity, and

Refusing again to live in sin’s shade!

Bless me, help me, and shield me

From Satan’s sophistries, and sure-ways by

Keeping me praying, and praised up, and

Walking uprightly on the King’s Highway!

AMEN.

HEART RENEWAL  X  CHRIST = SAVED

Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
