PRAYER: Lord, Help Us To Meet Your Conditions!

Father,

I Love You

And, Yet

It Is So Easy To Be Distracted

By The Minutiae Of Daily Living

And

The Dread Problems Of This World!

Forgive Me, I Beseech You

For Not Making You First

Last

And Always

And Help Me, Lord

To Get My Priorities In Order!

Help Me, Lord

To Take My Eyes Up

From Looking Down At My Feet

And The Path That I Must Tread

And, Please

Cause Me Ever To Look Up

To My Lord Christ

Where My Sure Help

My Certain Salvation

Comes From!

I Need You

For, Lord

Oftentimes The Lights Of And In This Wicked World

Are So Bright That I Blink

And Momentarily Close My Eyes

And Then I Can't

I Don't

See You

And I Become Fearful

And 

Distraction And Drift

Try To Steal Me Away!

Pity Me, Lord

And

Help Me Not To Live Right In My Own Eyes

Nor In The View

That Comes From Trusting 

My Lying Mortal Eyesight!

Please Help Me To Live In The Foundational Faith

Of My Jesus

So That I May Be Saved!

Sometimes, Lord

The Clamor Of This Dying World

Can

And Often Does

Prevent Me From Hearing

The Dear And Lovely Voice! 

I Do Not Will That This Should Be So

And

I Beseech You

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

To Grant Me Spiritual Ears

So That I May Hear Of

The Blessings Of Love

And

Heed The Cautions Of Caring

And

Walk In The Direction Of Mercy

And

Live In The Shelter Of Grace

To Rise In The Glory Of Redemption

After An Enduring Sojourn

In The School Of Salvation!

I Desire To Reach Zion's Peaceful Shore!

Please Pour Of Your Spirit

Into This Earthen Vessel

And

Into A Vessel Fit

My Lord And My God! 

I Desire To Possess My Place

At Your Welcome Home Table!

Father, 

I Know

I Understand

That The Way Of The Crucible Is Painful

Trying

And 

Hard To Tolerate

Comfort My Heart 

And

Help Me

All Things To Bear!

I Need You - Please Help Me

For

I Desire The Residence In That Prepared

And Holy Place

And

I Desire With My Every Fiber

To Receive

And Wear 

That Golden Crown

That My Jesus Purchased For Me

When In Closing Out That Transaction

A Spear's Cruel Pierce

Caused His Cleansing Blood

And

Water Of Life

To Pour Forth! 

Thank You For The Promise 

The Gift

Of

Eternal Life!

I Believe - Help Me To Obey! 

I Love You! 

Help Me To Honor You Today

In All Ways

And Yet ...

It Has Been Said:

Let Us Break Down This Quotation To Get To The Real Truth For Only A Person Who Does Not Have A True Picture Of The Living Holy Eternal God Will Accept This Statement!

My Dictionary Study:

Conceive:      Appreciate; Apprehend; Envisage; Grasp
Appalling:      Astounding; Unnerving; Awful;
Strangeness:  Abnormal; Singular; Inexplicable; Odd
Mercy:           Blessing; Generosity, Gentleness; Lenience; Unmerited Favor

My Bible Says:

Let Us, Therefore, As King James Bible Believers - Not Elevating Self And Its Concepts - Make The Above Quotation Personal To Our Journey With Jesus Christ BECAUSE There Is Nothing Strange In The Love Of God:

Mortal Man
That I Am
Full Of Shame
Oft' In Disgrace
I Cannot Appreciate

The Astoundingly 

Inexplicable

Blessings Of Grace 
Of 
The Eternal God
Which I Shall
One Day
In The Resurrection
Of The Just
Behold
As An Overcomer
Of
The Evil One
In Jesus' Name!

INDICTED: Working For God?!

You Love ME?!

How Can You Say You Love Me
When
You Say Nothing
Whilst Knowing That My Life Is A Big Fat Lie?!

How Can You Believe That You Love Me
When You Know That The Life I Lead
Will Cause Me To Eternally Die?!

You Say Your Way Is Better
BUT
Have You Shown Me
How To Live The Right Way?
Or
Is Your Better Way
Just For You
AND
Everybody Else
Is To Live Like
A Rabid Stray?!

I May Not Know Much
About The God That You Trust
BUT
I Have Heard A Thing Or Two
About The Holy God
AND
I Know
That The Truth
That You Are Unwilling To Feed Me
Makes You
Nothing More Than
A Laid Up
Weak
Unholy Fraud!

Love Me?!
You Most Certainly Do Not
OR
You Would - In Love -
Point Out
The Errors Of My Ways!
You Would Find Me
A Burden Upon Your Soul
AND 
Make Helping Me To See 
The Real Jesus
Your Life's 
True 
AND 
Ultimate Goal!

My Life Is Not
The Best One!
Lord Knows
It Is The Only One I Have Got
BUT
If I Were You
- An All-Fired Christian -
Working For My Jesus
I Would Try My Best
To Show The Right Way To You!

Please ...

Don't Try To Be Polite
Saying 
You Don't Want To Hurt My Feelings!
What Good Are Feelings
When As A Lost Sheep
I'm Dead?!

Tell Me Plain!
Let Me Make The Decision
To Accept 
Or 
To Ignore You
BUT
Don't Feed Me Lovely Provender
- With Poison -
On A Comfortable Four-Poster Bed!

Hurt Me ... With The Truth!
Don't Comfort Me ... With A Lie!
Help Me To Make
An Informed Decision
So That
If 
I Choose The Lie
I Made That Choice
FREELY!
AND
I Won't Be Dying
Because
You Came To Me 
Pretty AND Lying!

The Lord Gave You Mission?!
So, Go On AND Do It!

The Lord Gave You A Message?!
So, Get Up AND Deliver It!

Do God's Work
For Which You Say
You Have Been Called
AND
Stop Acting Like
An Undercover Agent
For The King Of 
The Underground Fraud Squad!

So ...

Tell Me?

What IS The Word Of The Lord?

My Father Said + PRAYER: I Hallow Your Name

My Father Said:

Child,  Call My Name!

With It Truth Proclaim!
By It No Man's Life Declaim!
- Wear It Like A Glove!

Child,  Call My Name!

Help
And Assurance From Above!
Wear It As Your Shield!
With It Under-gird Your Soul
For
It Is Defense Against Satan Bold!

Child, Call My Name!
Within It Is Grace
Sufficient
For Any And Every Day!
It Is That Whereby Any Trial You May Face!
It Is That Whereby You Will Remove Any Disgrace!
It Is That With Which You Will Live Chaste
Uncompromised!

Child, Call Me
Believing Faithfully In Me
Even When
My Hand You Do Not See!
Just Trust Me
And Walk
Living Right In My Sight!

I AM
Your Protector
Corrector
Provider
Savior
Guarantor
Creator
Reliever
Receiver
Deflector Of The Deceiver
Helper
Healer
Savior
Sealer
Beginning
And End
The Faithful Friend Whose Love
No One And Nothing Can Suspend
Mighty
And Eternal
In Whom Is Nothing Carnal!

Child, My Child!
Call My Name!
For The Sake Of Your Soul
Make Me Your Goal
And
Get Off Of Sin's Shoals
And
Make Heaven Your Gold!

My Father Said:

My Child,  Call Me!

I Said:

Father,  You Are In Heaven

I Hallow Your Name

Your Kingdom Is Coming

So

In Me, Let Your Will Be Done!

You Give Me Each Day

Living Bread 

Sufficient For My Need

Some For Sharing

And

Some For The Passersby's Feed!

You Forgive Me My Sins

So

Help Me To Forgive Those 

Who Against Me - Unrepentant - Did And Do Sin!

Father,

I Know That You Will 

With Every Temptation

Provide For Me A Way Of Escape

For

Yours Is The Only Kingdom!

ALL Power Is Yours!

ALL Glory Is Yours

And

I Desire To Live In It

With You

For Ceaseless Ages

Where There Is No End!

Father,

You Are Mine!

You Are My Hallelujah

You Are My All And All!

You Are

Amen.

#AlignMyWillWithYoursLord
Help me to do as You bid
#ProsperMeOnTheWayLord
Teach Me, Lead Me, Lord, Fill!

Fill Me up with Your Power

Open Your Windows of Love!

Pour Me out a Blessing from My Master
Let Angels of Strength guard Me on My Way
Let Me be valiant on My Mission
Never from Your Precepts let Me stray!

My Eyes may cry on The Master's Mission
My Courage in weak Flesh may trembling fail
But, Lord, help Me press on to Victory
Over Sin, Illuminated Deception, and Worldly Knowledge Decay!

I am not My own - Lord, I am Your Servant
Nigh unto a Watchman upon The High Wall
Help Me to sure sound The Trumpet
Of Warning for Jesus
To Your People against Satan
And of The End of The Sky-Blue Earth Ball!

Love, Honor, Trust, Godly Fear, and Saintly Worship
Penitence, Supplication, Self and Will
I place, Lord, on The Sacrifice Altar
Accept, Lord, this Offering today!

Fill Me, Lord, let Me, in You, find Peace
And a Living Faith unto Salvation today
Teach Me, Father, Your Patience
Fill with Your Spirit, Lord, I humbly Pray!

Hold Me!
Lead Me!
Guide Me!
Fill Me with Your Spirit, Lord, I plead!
Fill Me, Lord!
Fill Me, Lord!
Fill Me!
Send Me on My Mission Godspeed!
