DENY THE LIAR: Self-Denying Endurance!

... Nobody Can Stand Her!

I Neither Like Nor Dislike Her!

I Can Barely Tolerate Her, Myself! 

What About You, Carman!?!

Do You Want The Truth Or The Facts!?!

Whoa!
This Sounds Like It Could Be Juicy!
Do Tell The Whole Story ... If You Dare!

Hi, Guys!

You're Late, Fanci!

I'm Sorry
But 
I Was Having A Real Heart-To-Heart
With Self-Denying Endurance!
I Got The Short Stick ... I Had To Share
And 

I Ended Up Having To Face Stark Facts:
I Have Got To Stop ... With Dogged Determination

Looking Back At Past Failures
Which Do Not In Any Way, Shape Or Form
Profit Me On This Pilgrim Journey!

Interesting That You Should Say That!
We Were Just Talking About Her ...!

... You Mean Y'all Were Ragging On Her Name More Like It!

Well, Yes! What Do You Expect!?!

I, Personally, Expect Nothing From You!
I'm Not Your Judge!
On The Other Hand
As A Concerned, Committed, Working Member Of This Family
I Have A Thing Or Two ... Even Three
To Say About Your Dank Attitudes!

Dear Lord, Help Us!
We're In For It Now!

The Lord Is Helping You Already!
He Has Graciously Provided For Your Spiritual Prosperity
By Providing ... In Addition To Faith, Forgiveness
Mercy And Grace
And
In One Complete, Easy-To-Utilize Humble Package
Self-Denying Endurance! 

Self-Denying Endurance Is Not Your Enemy! 

Self Is Your Enemy!

Self Is A Rabid Sinner!
Self Is A Wild Dog With Fleas!
Self Is A Trait Of The Devil
And
Self Stops You From Asking 

The Living God For Help, Please!

Self-Indulgence Is A Side-Winder!
Self-Satisfaction Likewise!
Self-Gratification Is No Better
And 

All Three Encourage You
To Ingest Camouflaged Lies!

Self-Denial 

Is 

The Gift For The Ages!

It Gets You Away From Your Self!
Endurance Is The Bitter-Sweet Pill:

It Hurts But The Reward Comes From

Outside Of Your Selfish Self!

In Combination

Self-Denial And Endurance Are Truly Unbeatable
And
Denies Satan The Joy Of The Lost-Man Kill!
It Denies Him His Much-Desired Cheap Thrill!

Fanci, We Know! How We Know!

But, Lord Almighty ... The Pain

The Denial

The Longing

The Hoping ... The Trusting

The Delays ...!

... The Momentary Anxieties!?!

A Thousand Times, Yes!

Ahem!

Have You Forgotten Who It Is That You Worship

Who Provides For

And

Daily Blesses And Protects You!?!

Have You Forgotten That

He Says That He Will Never Never 

Nor Forsake You

And

With Him As Leader

To Heaven, You Will Surely Get Through!?!

We Haven't Forgotten, Fanci!

It Is Just That Sometimes Life Is Wearying

And We Feel ... Sorry For Ourselves!

Perk Up, Brethren!

Think Of Good King Asa

And

Choose To Believe That Your God Can Save You!

I Shall Spell It Out For You, Plainly!
King Asa Knew His Kingdom Had A Great Enemy
And
King Asa Also Knew Without A Doubt That
His Savior Was The Eternal God!

The Surging Enemy That We Face Today 
Is 
The Army Of Satan
His Angels
And 
Those Whom They Manipulate Into Evil-Doing! 

They Perform Tricks And They Offer Treats ...!

... And The Lord Saves The Trusting 
And 
Blesses The Believing! 

The Lord God Almighty Leads The Child 
And 
Teaches The Humble Spirit
And 
Provides Comfort And Aid 
To The Self-Denying Enduring-All-For-Christ Soul! 

Never, Ever, Forget Who Gave Us
The Pattern For Our Can't-Lose Winning Performance!

Hard Or Easy, Bitter Or Sweet
Embrace Self-Denial
Resolve To Endure
And
Stand Against The Swarming Foe 
In Your Gift Of Jesus Christ's Faith,
And 
Unfailing Grace 
And 
Free-To-All Mercy Shall Surely Attend You
And
In The House Of The Lord
You Will Reside In Your Own Christ-Prepared Place!

Pray, Brethren!
Don't Ever Forget To Pray!

Dear Lord,

Please Grant Unto Us That Choice Blessing

Which Shall See Us

Cooperating With You Always

So That Of Your Perfect Peace

We Shall Enjoy The Everlasting Taste!

AMEN!
