Christians Coldly Calculating Consequences!?!





Working For The Master
Should Be A Straight Up:

Yes, Lord!
I Obey!


There Should Never Be An Instance Where
Christians Coldly Calculating Consequences
Should Ever Come Into Play
In The Contemplation Of
Our Service For The Master!

That's Real Easy For You To Say!

It Should Be Easy For You, Too!
You're A Christ Follower, Aren't You?!

I'm A Christ Follower But I'm Not Foolish!
I Need My Life If I Want To Live!
If I Have No Life
What Is The Service That I Can To The Lord Give?!

Do You Believe The Word Of God?!

Of Course, I Do!

Is It Suitable For You In Everything You Do!

Of Course, It Is!

In That Case
How Does:

Not My Will But Thy Will Be Done!

Come Into Play For You?!

How About:

Take Up Thy Cross And Follow Me?!

And, Lest We Forget
When, For You, Does

Yeah, Though I Walk
Through The Valley Of Death
I Will Fear No Evil!


Start Working?!

Ahhhm, Uh ...!

As The Son Of Man
Jesus Christ Gave Unto Us 
The Perfect Example Of Obedience!

As The Son Of God
Jesus Christ 
Gives
Unto Us The Power To Obey ...!

... You Should Add For Parker's Benefit
If We Believe He Is Able To Deliver
On The Promises Of God!!

So, I Guess, Parker
We Meaning ... You
Are At A Crossroad!

A Very Important Dangerous
Destiny-Altering Crossroad!

So, Mr. Parker
Who Are You Going To Call Up
In The Hour Of Your Trial
If 
You Don't 
Can't
Won't
Trust Jesus Christ In The Field?!

Jesus Christ 
Is
God Almighty
All The Time Or None Of The Time!
He Cannot Be Almighty In The Calm
And
Then Trembling 
When His Believing Children
Face The Fire!

You Either Trust Jesus Christ All The Way
Or Doubt Him All The Way!

I Know!
I Know That You're Right!

Well, Then
Just Understand That There Is No Middle Ground!
No Halfway!
No Grey!
It Is Black Or White!
Green Or Red!
Believe Or Doubt!

There Is To Be No Waffling
And
Decidedly
No Turning About!

I, I, I Am Scared ...!

So Were We
But 
We Still Went Out!

Remember Moses
And
Don't Ever Forget Elijah!

They Believed And They Trusted
And They Walked 
And, Lord Almighty, How They Worked!

Moses Died And Was By Jesus Christ, Himself
Resurrected
And
In Holy Heaven Does Live!

Elijah Lived
And
Was Translated Never Having Tasted Death
And
In Holy Heaven Does Live!

Hold On To This Truth ...

All Of Jesus Christ's Redeemed Ones
Will Be Reclaimed As Either A Moses
Or
An Elijah!

But What About The Cost!?!

What Cost!?!
Jesus Already Paid All Our Costs
So The Price To You Is Cheap!

Not Thaaat!
I Mean To Moses And Elijah!

The Cost Was Still Cheap
Since Neither One Was 
- To The Glorious Kingdom -
Lost!

Man, I Really Need To Grow A Spine!

Brother,
Trust God And Learn To Lean On Jesus!

Wise Up And Be A Fool For Christ
And
Do A Paul!

Huh!?!




Yeah! Yeah!
My Strength Is My Leaning On The Lord
Because I Know I'm Weak Without Him!

Don't Ever Forget This ...

The Lord Can't Use Personally Strong
Arrogantly Self-Sufficient
Prideful Persons
To Preach Peace And Salvation
To His Seeking People!

You Know What!?!

What!?!

I Can Do This!
I Can Do All Things Through Christ ...!

... Who Moment By Moment ...!

... Strengthens Us!

Satan's Task + PRAYER: Lord, I Come To Thee!



Now Is Not The Time For Faith To Fail!
We Are Nearing Home!
This Is Not The Time
To Permit Doubt To Assail
As The Heaven-Bound Train Is About To Set Sail
AND
To Get On Board
You Don't Want To Fail
For
We Are Truly Nearing Home!

Don't You Know
That It's At The Border Of The Promised Land
That The Enemy Attacks
AND
Your Hopeful Harvest Try To Sack?!

Don't You Recognize That Satan
AND
His Vile Progeny
Will Promise You The World In Three Wishes
Just Like A Fairy Tale Genie
- Which Is One Of His Mesmers -
To Befuddle The Mind
To Make Tawdry The Senses
To Have You Fail At Being Of Jesus Christ's Line
Bought
Paid For
Forgiven
Set Apart
For It Is His Sworn Task to Ensure
That To the Shepherd Of The Sheep
You Do Not Hark
So That Beguiled
You Shall 
- With His Lost Self -
Walk In The Oppressive Dark Of Disobedience
AND
Self Sell?!

Satan's
T russ Up
A ll Men
S eeking Christ's
K ingdom!

I Know ...!
I Understand What You Are Saying
But My Mind Is Playing Tricks
Trying
To Make Me Believe
That My Faith Is As A Cascading Domino Slick Trick!

I Know I Should Be ... Strong ...
... All I Am Feeling Is Weak ...!

Then It Is ...

... Time!

Time To Boast Of My Infirmities
Taking My Strength From The Lord
The One Perfect
The One Eternal
The God Strong!



PRAYER:

Oh, Lord
Thou Art Holy
And
As A Weak Child
Needing Your Strength
I Come To You Today
Pleading, Beseeching, Begging
Please
For Me Make The Way To Life
Abundantly Clear!


Lord,
I Can't
I Won't Walk This Mortal Life Alone - 
Please Hold My Hand 
And Help Me
Safely To Arrive
In The Heavenly Home!


Please Guide My Footsteps! 
Please Have Mercy On Me
And
Please Do Not Permit Satan
From You
Me To Cleave!


I Trust You! 
I Honor You! 
I Worship You, Lord
And
I Humbly
Your Word Do Obey
So, Please
In This Trying Hour
Let Me Not Turn Away To Fables
And
Falsehoods
And
Before The Raging Adversary
Of This Poor Servant's Soul
Cower!


Lord,
I Am Not Alone! 
Many Are They
Who Are Troubled In Their Minds
And
We Beseech You, Father
To Help Us
To You 
To Be Steadfastly Inclined!


Protect Us From The Fairweather Friend
Mean Man
And
False-Hearted
Double-Minded Brethren
And
Bless Us To See
-In Peace - 
The Lord Of Our Life
In Whom
There Is No Offense!


Father,
I Desire The Oil Of Gladness!
Help Me To Lean Upon Jesus For Joy
And
Grant Me The Indwelling
Of
The Precious Holy Spirit
And
Let The Holy Angels Ever Attend
For
I Will To Be True To Only You!

I Give You  Praise - No Alloy!

Help Me
On The Bread Of Heaven To Fill Up
So That In The Glad Day
With The Faithful Brethren
I Shall Rise Up
And
To Heaven Go Up
Glorified
Immortalized
And 
Arrived In The Holy City
On The Water Of Life
To Forever Freely Fill Up!


Bless Me, Lord
By Your Saving Grace
For
I Truly Love You!
In Jesus Holy Name, I Pray And Plead!

AMEN!
