HAPPY SABBATH + EXERT YOUR PRIVILEGE: Wrestle With Your Lord!

Strangely, We Can Always Find Time To Gossip

To Cuss-Out People

To Belittle People

And

Even Find Time To Tear-Down Our Own Selves! 

We Say That We Love The Lord Christ

And 

Most Assuredly Know That 

He Answers Humble, Heartfelt, Prayers Of Faith 

And Yet

With The Myriad Needs Known Abundant In This Mortal Life

We Dismally Fail To Make Good Use Of

Our Access To The God Of Grace

The King Of Glory 

And

Sunnily Neglect To Reach For 

The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing That

Is

Always Just A Prayer Away! 

We Rob Ourselves Of The Grand And Glorious Pleasure Of 

Grasping The Great Good Given To God's Faithful People

Because 

We Find Time To Talk Turkey And Baloney

Instead Of Truth And Blessing! 

Beloved, 

Our Priorities Are Skewed! 

Our Interests Are Pitiable 

And 

Even Downright Lawless 

Because

We Are Short-Changing Ourselves By Neglecting Our Prayers 

Aka Our Intimate Moments With Our Forever Friend

Our Father In Heaven! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

There Is Much That We May Receive From The Hand Of God 

But 

Will Not Receive 

Because 

We Do Not Ask For Our Godly Desires Through Prayer! 

Prayer 

Is As

Opening Your Heart As To Your Very Best Friend

So, Pray

  Ask In Faith

    Believe The Preserved Word

      Persist In Prayer

        Trust The Giver

          Align Your Desires With The Word Of God 

And

              Keep Your Hand Out ... And Your Heart Open! 

The Lord Our God Ain't A Lying, Dying, Man

And

He Doesn't Bad-Talk Us 

For Asking For His Good And Perfect Gifts

As He, Himself, Has Asked Us To Request: 

He Cherishes The Gift Of Our Trust! 

Let's Stop Starving Our Own Souls

And

Militantly ... But Humbly ... Get The Business Done!

Prayer Is An Oasis

So, Pray, Pray, Pray

And

Infinitely Enjoy 

The Fabulous Feast Of The Forever-Blessed!

Do A Jacob

And 

Wrestle With Your Lord

And

Get Yourself

Your Free Name-Change!

When "Dust-Bunnies" Get Bold!?!

Stop Misapplying The Word Of God!
Stop Being A Soldier For Satan The God-Fraud!
Stop Looking Inward!
The Inside Of Self Is Not Cute!
Look Unto Christ Jesus
Our Savior, Lord And Awesome God
And
The Adversary's Challenges Boldly, Coldly, Refute!

Bold Lee Self-Sufficient
Was Suffering
- According To Everybody Else And 'e Brother -
From Wild Self-Confidence
And
It Was Making Him Behave Like 

The Southern End Of A North-Bound Donkey!

It Was Not A Good Sight To Behold
In The Worldly Wise
And
It Was Truly Shameful To See This In A Professed Christian!

His Not-Lauded-In-The-Good-Book Behavior
Was Causing Ripples
And
The Sound-Bites Were Reverberating
In A Noxious Supply
To The Point Where It Was Causing
Even The Previously Stable To Stumble!

Badda Bing And Fadda Boom
Had Gotten So Hung Up On Bold Lee Self-Sufficient's 

Stretched-Out Self-Confidence That

Like A Choreography
They Had Both Led Common-Sense Unto A Fumble
And
Lo, And Behold
All Two Both Of Them
Had Taken A Tumble!

They Went Down Haaard!

He Who Is Self-Confident 

In His Own Self-Sufficiency

Has Himself

- A Fool -

For His Own God!

Foolishness Ain't No Kinda Sense ...

Fools Always Got Maybe Kinda
Sorta Probably Friends
Who Are Always On The Look-Out For An Easy Thrill!
A Cheap Laugh

And

Bold Lee Was One Such
Who Talked About The Lord
But
Always Denied His Power! 

Everybody Who Was His "Friend"

Was Waiting, Waiting ... And Watching

For ... The Fall!

Bold Lee Self-Sufficient Felt That He Personally Knew

What Was Best For Himself
And
Saw No Reason To Permit The Absentee Landlord
- He Was Very Disrespectful -
To Dictate His Pace
When He, Himself, Was On Ground Zero! 

He Constantly Behaved Like
And 

Told All Who Would Hear Him
That He Was His Own Hero!

Do You Know How To Spell Zero!?!

Boldly Self-Sufficient!

All Good Things Come To An End ...

Inevitably,
One Blessed Day
- If You're Alive The Day Is Blessed -
Bold Lee Went Too Far
And Stepped In It!

Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout'

Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Tail!

Brethren,

You Can't Tempt The Almighty God
Twist An Uncaged Tiger's Tail
Knock An In-Residence Hornets Nest
Walk Nonchalantly Through Highway Traffic
And
Dare The Devil To Damn You
And
Actually Believe That Just Because
You Know The Words
Pay The Tithe
Sing The Songs
Give Alms
And
Visit The Sick
That The Lord Will Welcome You
Succor You In Your Sin Of Presumption
And
- Being Hard-Up For A Servant

A Follower, A Child - 

Save You From Your Self
And

Your Own Self-Manufactured Disaster!

Think Again!

Idiocy Does Not Become 

A Converted-To-Christ Christian:

There Are No Fools Going To Heaven!

Fact Check ...

Self-Confident, Self-Sufficient Lucifer
Started War In Heaven!
Self-Confident Satan Unleased Sin On The Earth!
Self-Confident Peter Denied Christ!
Self-Confident Judas Betrayed Christ!

Self-Confident Satan Killed The Lord Christ
And
We All Surely Know 

How That Worked Out For That Prince Of Darkness!

Since Self-Sufficient Self-Confidence
Did Not Work For The One Who Was Fourth
In The Chain Of Command In Heaven
I Really Can't Figure Out 

Why It Would Work For A Dust-Bunny Called Fallen Man!?!
Can You!?!

Think Carefully ...

Plainly Put

A Self-Sufficient, Self-Confident Christian

Is

A Bold Sinner

Because

Self Is A Sinner

And

No Sinner Shall Enter The Gates Of

The Living God's Eternal Home!

Self-Sufficient, Self-Confident Souls

Have No Need For A Savior

Their Known Sins To Bear

So

Let's Look At Ourselves

And

Once And For All Time Decide

Who Truly Cares For And Carries Us

And

Who It Is That We Should Hold In Godly Fear!

Take Your Place

And

Humble Yourself!

The Living God

Will Not His Throne

- Nor His Glory -

Share

And

You're Not Big Enough

To Make Him Do It!
