JUDGMENT: No Man Can Hide ...!

When Almighty God Rained Down Judgement
On The Heathen
The People Of God Were Glad!! 

When Almighty God Rained Down Judgement On The Wicked
The People Of God Were Not Sad
For They Knew Of Themselves
That They, Themselves

Were Not Like Those Other People ... Bad
BUT
When Almighty God Rained Down Judgement
On The People Of God
Said People Became Sad
For
They Didn't Believe They Had Been Unwise And Bad
AND
Protestingly Wondered
Why Their God, Holy
With Them
Was Not Glad!

It's Strange
That They Did Not Know

Could Not See
That Their Previously "White" Robes
Were Become A Gross Plaid!

Now, That, Brethren
Is Truly, Truly, Sad!

Indeed!

Motes And Beams!

They Could See Out

But Couldn't See Themselves!

You Done Know 

That Follow-Pattern Kill-Off Cadogan!

That Sand Flies Like Red Blood Man!
That Idolatry Is An Abomination
AND
That Thievery Is No Cafeteria Food Plan!

Our Walking In Wisdom
Means Walking In The Light Of God's Word
BUT
Our Walking In M'Eye Light
GIVES
That Gross Satan
The Most Pleasurable Delight!

Our Conforming To God Is Wisdom!

Conforming God To Us Is Waste!
Living For Jesus Christ Is Not Worldly Wisdom
BUT
Dying In Jesus
Gives Us In Heaven A Reserved Place!

Turning The Rock Of Wisdom
Into The Jewel Of Sin Is Folly ...!

... And Turning The Water Of Life
Into The Gin Of Sin
Marks One As Of The Foolish
Who Will Never Through The Gates Of Heaven
Have The Right To Walk In!

Let Me Tell You ...

When The People Of God
Choose To Walk In The Ways Of The World
In Their Walk With The Lord
You Can Rest Assured
That They Are Of The Clan Double-Minded
AND
They Have No Peace Nor Rest In The Living God
Because
Their Walking Is Actually With The Wily Willful Fraud!

The Straight Way Is Narrow ...!

... And The Broad Way Is Wide
AND
Sin Is The Separating Line
Behind Which
No Man Can Hide!

This Is The Bottom Line ...

Take Truth In The Inward Parts!
Drink The Water Of Life! 

Eat The Bread Of Heaven
AND
In Heavenly Joy And Peace
Peacefully Abide!

Want To Go On A Joy Ride?!

Try Jesus For Joy!

Jesus Christ Is Peace Is Sin Relief!!

Just Say Something, Anything!
Just Talk To Me!!

Okay!
Are YOU Well?!
Are You Beholding The Beauty Of The Earth?!
Are You At Peace With God?!

Are You Walking?!
Are You Faithful?!
Is Jesus Christ Your Captain
The Giver Of Your Peace?!

Are Your Working?!
I Pray You're No Longer Wondering!
Is The Holy Spirit Your Guide
The Comforter That Delivers Your Necessary
Your Much Needed Peace?!

The Great One In Whom You Confide?!

Are You Watching ...?!

... Watching What?!

Are You Watching The Signs Of The Times
That Show That Men's Hearts
Are Waxed Gross
And Seriously Grown Cold
And Love Self
And Love Gain
And Refuse To Accept
That There Is The Living God
The Rock Of Our Salvation
Who
- When The Investigative Judgment Is Complete -
Is Coming To Earth Again
To Give Satan
Sin Sinners
Death
The Cold Grave
Hell
Their Written-With-Blood
Can't Be Undone
Defeat?!

Oh.

Is That All You Have To Say?!

Yes.

What's Going On With You?!

Nothing
Something
Everything
I Don't Know

I Just Feel ... Down ...

... Why Art Thou Cast Down
Oh, My Soul?!
Why Are You Dispirited Within?!

Good Question To Your Soul!

Let Me Ask Another Question:

Are You Hoping In God?!

Sometimes I Cry ...!

Look Around ...
Bad Behavior ... REWARDED!
Dishonesty ... REWARDED!
Murder And Mayhem ... REWARDED!
Wilful Disobedience ... REWARDED!
Deceit ... DOUBLY REWARDED!

Everything Good Is Bad

AND
No Rewarded Person Has Truth
In Their Inward Parts ...!

... Who For A Human Lives With A Corpse For A Year?!
Who Rapes Their Dying Friend?!
Who Puts A Child In A Hot Oven?!
Who Uses Human Parts As Garden Fertilizer?!

... Who Hates Jesus So Much
That They Will Partner With Satan
To Tell The Man Seeking Salvation
That The "Disinterested Sky God"
Is On Permanent Vacation
Visiting His Co-God Relations
In Deep Space Stations?!

Sigh ...

Wake Up!

I Am Awake
And I Fear
That Mankind Is Really Truly Unraveling
Caught
Between Truth And A Dare
And Those Charged
With Stewardship
Of Man's Spiritual Upkeep
Are Looking To That Man
Their Personal Coffers
Filled
To Keep!

I Know What You Mean!

Now ... I Want To Sigh!
I Want To Cry
At The Abominations In The Land ...!

... Oh, Dear!

I Just Remembered

The Men With The Slaughtering Weapons
The One With The Writer's Inkhorn
The Decree:

Mark Those Who Sigh And Cry!

Spare Not!

Let Judgment Begin At God's Sanctuary!

Oh, Lord, In Zion
Help Us!

The Paid Truth-Speakers Prophesy Deceit
Selling Sweet Milk
And Nimbly Tickling
Wiggling Ears

Confidently Telling The Congregation:

Peace! Peace! Peace!

Be Ye Still!

We Are Blessed Of The Living God!

There Is Nothing To Fear!

Even As Satan
- Pleasuring Himself -
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

Hold On ...

Keep Your Faith In Jesus Christ!

God Will Help Us

BUT
We Must Constant Pray!
We Must Get Back To The Good Book
And Study

And Not Just Use It As 

A Look-Book!

I Believe You!

I Love You

And For This

I Am Beseeching You

Please Do Not Let Any Created Being

Steal Your Joy!

Stay The Course!

AND
Trust The Master!

ANDDon't Do The Convenient Thing
Even If It's Lawful
And You Won't
In The Lake Of Fire
Of Damnation
Get A Craw Full!

Oh, My! 

My Mind Took The Picture!
You Made Me Laugh!

Good!
Trust Jesus Christ
The True One
With The Shepherd's Staff!

I Can Hear The Savior Calling!

Let's Go With Him ...!

... All The Way!

What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Our Sins Griefs Sorrows Burden
He, Able
Bears!

I Deem It A Privilege
A Blessing
For My Peace
That I Can Take All That Concerns Me

To Him
In Prayer!

Sweet Hour Of Prayer!

Sweet Hour Of Prayer!
I Am Called Away
From The World Of Sin
Where I Physically Walk On
To That Dear Place
Where Rest Is Peace
And Hope Has Wings
And My Joy Found In Jesus Is Sweet Relief!

Amen!

How Are You Feeling Now?!

Buoyed!

Borne Aloft!

Sheltered!

Safe ...

... In The Arms Of Jesus!

Luke-warm AND ... Loving It?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Am A Sinner

Rich!
                Increased With Goods!
                                                           Don't Need A Thing!

The World's Ills Can't Us Sting!

What A Joke!

Excuse Me?!

You Are Really Fooling Yourselves!

Really?!
Says Who!?!

Can't You Feel That You Are Wretched?
Stop Pretending You Are Happy
AND
From Sin Walk Away!
Acknowledge You Have A Problem
AND
Seek God For The Solution!
Living For The Praise Of Man
Places You Squarely In The Eternal Judge's Hands!

Everybody Can See That You Are Quite Miserable!
Everybody Can Hear When
While Holding Hands
You War For Supremacy!
Stop Trying To Fool The World
With Your Claims Of God's Approval
AND
Accept That Your Glitter Is Not Fooling Anybody!

Don't You Understand That You Are Poor In God's Sight?
Don't You Understand That God Sees Not As Does Man?
Are You Not Aware That Your Eyes Are Fair Oozing
AND
When You Wipe Them There's Yampee On Your Hand?

Didn't You Know That You Were Blind 
When You Led The Polished Gathering Into That Ditch?
It's Shameful That You Are So Bold
AND
Wrong In The Preaching Of Let Us Gain Covet
As You Were Panning For Earth's Fools Gold Bright Nuggets!

You May Be Well-dressed But Your Butt Is Quite Naked 
AND
The World Can Fair See Your Great Shame!
Look To The Lord
For Real
AND
Stop Faking It!
Look To The Glad Day
AND
Stop Casting Your Sure Inheritance Away!

I Beg Your Pardon!
We ARE The Church Of God
And God Really Blesses!
Look At Us!
Do We Look To You To Be Miserable
Wretched Poor?!
Some Of Us Wear Glasses
So We Cannot Be Blind
And We Can't Be Naked
For Our Clothing Comes
From The Likes Of Such As Christian Dior!

You REALLY Are Wretched
Miserable
Poor AND Naked!
You Are So Full Of Yourself
You Can't Even Walk Through The Open Door
Which The God Of The Ransomed Church
Has Laid Open For His Faithful 
Those Ones Who Acknowledge
That By Themselves
They Are Truly Poor!

Jesus Christ, Himself
Sends This Message Unto You:

Thou Art Luke-warm

And I Will Spew Thee

Out Of My Mouth!

Anoint Thine Eyes With Eyesalve 

That Thou Mayest See!

Buy Of Me White Raiment

To Cover The Shame Of Thy Nakedness!

Buy Of Me Fire-Tried Gold

That Thou Mayest Truly Be Rich!

Those Whom I Love

I Rebuke And Chasten!

So, Correct Your Walk

Least I Say Unto Thee

Thou Worker Of Iniquity

Departest Thou From Me!

You Are Kidding, Right!

God Does Not Kid!

Earthly Awards And Rewards
Speak Not Of God's Approval!
Position And Power
Don't Mean God Approves Of You Today
AND
Access Dress
Prowess And Investments
Do Not Mean
You Have A Free Pass
AND
Will Unfailingly Walk Through
Heaven's Golden Gate Ingress!

Be Zealous For God!
Repent Of Your Transgressions!
Jesus Himself Is Knocking At Your Heart's Door!
If You Will Hear Him
Don't Harden Your Heart!
Let Him In
AND
Eat With Him
AND
In The Great Day
After You The World Overcoming
You Will Sit With Him
In His Glorious Throne
At The Time Of Celebrating 
Your Longed For Homecoming!

Scales Fell Out Of Blinded Eyes

AND 

Praying Is Heard ...!

*********

PRAYER:

Dear Lord,

I Am A Sinner, And How!

I Really Liked That Pretty Stuff

But

It Left Marks On My Hands

And In My Head

And Peace From Me Has Surely Fled!

I See My Error!

I Acknowledge That I Have A Need Of You

And I Recognize 

That I have Been Walking In Shoes

On The Deadly Path

That Truly Took Me Away From You!

You Say I Can Call You, Father!

Father, I Know

I Have Been Walking The Wrong Way

So, In The Name Of Jesus

Forgive Me

And Teach Me How To Walk Right

And Live The Right Way!

Renew Me!

Remake Me!

Bless Me!

You Know How!

I Make My Stand Today!

Take Me, Lord!

I Am All Yours Now!

I Humbly Vow!

AMEN.

The Hospital Visit

I Visited The Hospital
I Wished I Had Not Gone
For I Was Shocked To Realize
There Is No Healing Going On!

I Visited The Accounts Payable Department
I Was Sorry That I Had Gone
The Department Was So Efficiently Run
They Were Billing People For Family Visits
AND
Even For The Comfort Of A Hope Song!

I Visited The Intensive Care Unit
I Sincerely Wished That I Had Not Gone
For The Monitoring Of Souls In Dire Straits
Said Clearly
Each Had Been Left To Suffer A "Whatever!"  Fate!

I Visited The Birthing Department
I  Wished,  Lord,  I Wished That I Had Not Gone
Babies Were Aborning
BUT
They Seemed Awful Weak
Most
Not At All Life-Battle Ready
To Survive Life
Prosperous And Strong!

I Went To The Nursery Department
I Was So Glad As I Was Going Along
Soft Music
Happy Voices
Oh, The Joy!
What Laughter
Until
I Realized That
The Children Were Being Fed
An Intravenous Sugar Diet From
Liarman's Pastries Pills And Plasters!

I Visited The Personnel Department
I Visited Diet And Hygiene
I Visited With The Chaplaincy
AND
By The Time I Reached Administration
Just After Plant Operations
And Just Before I Got The Courage
To Go To The Surgical Floor
I Walked Into An "Empty Office"
And
Was There Shaken
To My Very Core!

There Standing
Covered In Cobweb
Was The Savior Of Man
Denied
Neglected
Ignored
Marked With Abuse
Marred As One Often Rejected
Maligned
AND
Seriously Misused!

This Was The Founder
Foundation
Support
Comfort
Kinsman Redeemer
The Creator Of It All
The Road To Glory
The Light For The Way
The God Man
Through Whom
To Glorious Realms
Is The Only Way!

I Said: "Blessed Is Your Name! "

I Asked: "My Lord,  How Come You To Such Shame?!"

His Reply Was That His Dignity
- To Those With Dull And Cloudy Eyes -
Is Reduced
To That Of One Profane
AND
His Glory Is Exchanged For That 
From Him Who Wants Man's Worship
AND
To Be Called By God's Holy Name!

BUT ...

How Is This Possible?
Are The People So Fickle?
So Weak?

He Said: "Come!
Let Me Show You
EVEN As We Speak!"

There Was Dread In My Stomach
My Skin Crawled With Fear
AND
My Eyeballs Were Sweating
From A Fixed Focused Perpetual Stare!

In Rooms
Cubby Holes
Alcoves
In Places Out Of The Way
Even In Places Plain
Were Altars For Worship
At Which Men Women Children
To Myriad gods Prayed

BUT ... Then

He Drew Close My Attention
The Veil Was Stripped Away
And There With Each Devotees Altar
A Vile Wretched Demon Preyed!

BUT ... BUT

How,  Why,  When, What?!!?!!?

There Is
Greed For Gain
Covetousness
Pride
Dissatisfaction With Daily Bread
Unwillingness To Let The Peace Of God Abide
And Dissatisfaction With The Bounty Of God!

There Is
The Preference For The Sweets Of The World
Gotten From That Liarman
The Sweet Man
King Of All That Is Fraud
Refusal To Bear A Cross Daily
Refusal To Deny Self In Any Way
Preference Always To Hide From Truth
And A Vested Willingness
To Wear A Dark Cowl!

Eyes Are Blind!
Ears Are Stopped!
Smooth Things Bring Pleasure
But The Truth To The Seared Heart Does Not!

There Is The Quest Pleasure At All Costs
And Eternal Hope Is A Far Distant Last
For Those Who Lead The People Desire
To Be The Church And The Steeple!

What Does That Mean?

They Desire To Be Everything To The People
The Church Building Is Their Comfort!
The Steeple On The Church Is The Symbol Of Their Hope!
They Display No Comfort In Nor From The Living God
For Their Worship Is All Idolatry!

There Is No Need For The Holy God
From Whom One Is Blessed With Hope For Heavenly Reward!
The Reward Is From The Hand Of Man
Not From Him Who Abides In Glory Land!

I Was Grieved In My Spirit!
I Was At My Emotional Limit!

Lord, We Need The Holy Spirit
We Need The Rest In Your Blessing!

Child,  Believe,  And Pray In Faith!
You Will Receive It!

With Revelation Came Insight!
With Insight Came The Fight!
Within The Fight True Believers Acquired Sight
AND
Life For Them Became Upright!

Those Deniers Of The Lord
Those Who Work For Man's Rewards
Have Fair Lost Their Power
So They Seek To Sow Discord

BUT ...

Now
Praise God
In The Metaphorical Hospital
There Is A Remnant
- Never The Whole -
Who Trust
Honor
Love
Praise
AND
Work Wisely
In Certain Hope
With Blessed Assurance
For The Living Faithful Lord!

There Is True Healing
For
To Jesus Christ
They Wholly Cling!

What Is Your Church?

A Hospital Where Christ Abides

OR

A Hell-Hole Where Satan Connives?

What Is The Truth?!

Self Is A Sinner!

On A Day Called Questionable
Cutting Truth
AND
Pleasing Fable
Stood Face To Face
Across The Lord's Supper Table
Each Defiant
Each Direct
With The Congregation Not Knowing What To Expect!

Cutting Truth
- In A Strong Tearful Honest Voice -
Encouraged The Congregation
In The Sacrifice Of Christ To Rejoice
For
The Blood
Once Spilled
Buys Pardon For All Who
Lay Down Sin
Pick Up Their Cross
AND
Daily Eat Their Fill
Of A King James Preserved
"Doth Saith The Lord!"
God's Holy Word
Uncorrupted By Evil Men And Women
True!

Pleasing Fable
- Not To Be Outdone -
Took Up Alexandrian Philosophy
Man-made Church Policy
AND
Leading Men's Educational Corrections To Holy Writ
For A Cheer-filled Soliloquy!
He Bobbed!
He Weaved!
He Impugned God's Word
AND
Went For A
"Do As I Please!"
AND
The Church Was Divided
With Hardly Any Souls
Willing
To Glory
In The Finished Work Of The Lord!

If The Veil Could Have Been Removed
Those Laodiceans Would Have Seen:

Self Satisfaction
Glorious Inaction
No Pleasure N. Restraint
Sinning S. Fun
Shoot-down D. Bible
AND
Lovely Rum
Were Working Adroitly
Slipping The Arrogant
Man-Is-god-Believing Crowd
High Priced Bromide
Instigating Rebellion
Prodding The Willful
Away From The Heavenly Guide!

The Cause Of The Ruckus?
Who Needs To Jesus Flee
When Self Awareness
Lifts Up Everybody!
Just Do What You Will
Just Don't Harm Another Soul
For Sin Death Hell
Confession And Repentance
Are Concepts Grown Cold!

If Eyes Could Be Opened
On The Side Of God's Faithful
Those Pleading With Brethren To Fear
God
AND
His Commandments Keep
To Let Him Our Burdens Bear Against The Fraudulent Creep
Those Believers Would See
Angels Of God
Doing Battle
Preserving God's Saints
Against Those Weavers Of Black Darkness
Of The Army Of The Degrading Lord Fraud!

The High-Minded Departed
In High Dungeon
AND
In Complete Disarray!

The Faithful Of God
In Humility Of Soul
Held Hands Together
AND
Prayed!
They Sighed
AND
They Cried
AND
Lifted Up God
AND
Yearned
Dearly Yearned
For
Their Blessing
In The Great Day Of Reward!

They Confessed
Their Own Sins
AND
The Sins Of The World
AND
The Numerous Sins Of The Church
Knowing
That Judgment
Begins First
In The House Of The Lord!

AND ...

When All Was Completed
They Sought Counsel Of The Lord
AND
With Prayerful
Humble
Teachable Spirits
They Delved Into His Word!

They Approached God's Word
Where Great Treasure Is Hid!
They Sought It With All Diligence
AND
They Asked God To Remove Self
AND
In Compassion He Did!

They Lifted Up Jesus
The Light Of Their World
AND
God
With True Blessing
Did To Their Humble Hearts
Heaven's Glories
Bestir!

They Ate Drank Of The Symbols!
They Did Not Remake
Nor Eat God!
They Lifted Up The Master
AND
Gave All Glory To The Risen Lord!

Renewed
They Departed The Sanctuary
Built By Human Hands
Looking Forward To That Day
When They Would Enter The Temple Raised Up
By The Holy God's Hands
In The Land Uncorrupted
God's Glorious Land!

When The Soul In Worship

Is Before God

Self Must Die!

*********

To Uphold Self Is To Denigrate God!

*********

When Self Is An Active Party

In The Soul's Salvation

There Is No Shield From Delusion!

*********

Man-Approved-gods Are Idols!

*********

To A True Christian

Self And Sacrifice

Make A Compound Word!

*********

Salvation Over Sin Is The Saint's Refrain!
