GETTING HOME TO HEAVEN: Attitude Adjustment Requirements

The Road To Spiritual Success Understanding Faith. - ppt download



No Matter How You Swing The Cat
No Matter How You Tear The Page
No Matter How You Pack The Lunch
No Matter How You Get Bent Outta Shape
The Fact Remains That A Christian Without Patience 
And 
Self-Control 
- Both Heavenly Virtues -
Is 
A Perfect Target For 
And
Nimble Instrument Of Satan 
To Be Used, Abused 
And
Then Discarded 
When Satan's Designs Are Accomplished! 

Brethren,

We Need To Understand And Accept That
Such A Person Will Never See Jesus Christ In Peace
And 
Will Never Enter The Gates Of Heaven
Because 
They ... Being Self-Deceived
Have Chosen To Reject Christ's Counsel 
Which Says That 
"There Is No Law Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit!
Blessed Are The Peacemakers!
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
God Is Our Refuge And Strength!
And 
Thy Word Is A Lamp Unto Our Feet And A Light Unto  Our Path!"

Don't Let Your Emotions
Jerk You Around 
Like You're On A Bungee Cord!

Beloved, 

We Are Counselled To Guard Our Hearts!
When We Ingest Ungodly Things
The Detritus Inevitably Comes Out 
And 
Often At The Worst Possible Times 
Showing To All Observers That 
Our Christian Attitude And Personality Are Missing Christ! 

Garbage In ... Garbage Out:
What You Eat ... You Excrete!

Let's Be Really Wise ...

We've All Heard Of
And 
We All Know About Christ!
Amen For That!
However, Dear Ones
It's Time To Intimately Know Him Personally 
So That When He Comes
We Shall Be Found To Be Like Him 
In Character Aka Attitude And Actions! 

Travelling To Heaven 
Is 
Not An Easy Road 
So Let's Class Up Our Ideas, Ideals
Attitudes And Actions 
And
Willingly Choose To Be ... To Behave
Like Our Dear Jesus! 
Peace Be Upon You!

A Self-Made Christian
- Just Like A Man-Made God -
Is A Total Joke!
Have Faith In The Almighty God!
Follow Your Creator:
Follow The Lord Christ!

Working The Plan

Suffering Spiritual Poverty Had A Need!
Sometimes He Knew It!
Sometimes He Did Not
And
Sometimes He Was Bold And Arrogant
And
For His Soul Salvation
Cared Not A Tittle
Not Even A Stingy Lil' Jot!

Growing In Grace
Is 
A Humble, Obedient, True, Working Christian
Daily Cooperating With 
And 
Walking Humbly In The Way Of The Lord Christ
And As Such - Glory Be To Jesus -
Is An Affront To The Rabid, Bold, Sold-Out To Sin Sinners
Who, With Gay Abandon, Imbibe Joyously
On The Teats Of The Demonic Device!

A War Was Brewing!
Battle Lines Were Drawn
And
The Plans Were In Phase Of Execution
And
All About Me
- The Favorite Spawn Of Satan, The Devil
That Gross And Base-Minded, Lying, Murderer -
Was Hugging Absolute Glee In ... Absolute Glee!

These Two Were Looking At Suffering Spiritual Poverty
A Repeat Customer Of Besetting Sin
Whose Favored Menu Item Was ... Is
I Did It Again A Famous, Famous, Real Honest To Badness
Sin-City Garage-Plate
That ... Unwisely, Wantonly, Consumed
Induces Brain Freeze, Food Coma
Rum Fits
Acidosis, Halitosis
Wandering Waywardness
Lust Of The Flesh
Lust Of The Eyes
Pride Of Life
And
Itching Ears
All The While As One Was Broadcasting That
They Were Rich And Increased With Goods
Having No Need Of Anything
When ... In Truth And In Fact
They Were Wretched, Miserable
Blind, Blind, Blind
Poor
And 
Don't You Know It
Emperor's-New-Clothes Naked!

It's All Very Off-Putting! 

Who Can Bear It!?!

 Let's Get Down To Brass Tacks ...

Jesus Christ Paid For It All
For All O' We Aka All Of Us
And 
For Perfect Love
Transferred From The Land Of Delight
To The Realm Of Needing Transformation That 
Ace Of Grace, Fruit Of The Spirit
No Pride Included!

Fruit Of The Spirit
Quiet ... Never Loud, Pushy Or Aggressive
Purveys, Promotes, Promulgates
The Blessing Plan Aka The Plan Of Addition
Which Is So Exceedingly Simple That
It Blows The Carnal Mind!

The Blessing Plan
Aka The Plan Of Addition 
Is 
Divine
And
Is The Cure For All 
- Good For All -
Which Protects All Takers From The Effects Of The Fall!

Let Me Tell You ...

It Would Have Saved King Saul
If
He Had Taken The Obedience Call! 

King Saul Failed, Failed, Abjectly Failed
To Recognize That Disobedience 
Is 
A Rubber Ball
A Helium Balloon
A Lead Balloon
A Stretched Out Rubber Band Making A Terminal Decision
A Snowcone In Hell
A Leisurely, Lie-Surely, Swim In A Whirlpool
A Snake In The Grass
And
A Gluttonous Feast At A Forty-Day Fast!

Did I Hear Someone Say
Send In Balaam's Talking Ass!?!

Yup!

In Times Of War, It's A Needful Thing!

In The Camp Of The Careless
The Prideful
The Profane
The Bane Of Man's Existence
Satan, The Devil, Heart Cold
Was Pressing Black Diamonds Out Of 
Practiced "White" Lies Told
And
Was As Pleased As Punch
Preparing For His Lunch Of 
Those On The Libidinous, Licentious
Lawless, Loose, Liberal
No Fundamentals
Can't-Lose Sure-To-Fail
Flailing Fist In The Face Of The Creator
Godless Glory-Hound
Hell-Bound But Don't Believe It Plan!

Dear Lord, Have Mercy And Grant Us Grace!

Satan, For A Very Brief, Short, Miniscule, Moment
Happily Remembered
Piercing Jesus Christ's Hands And Feet With Those Iron Nails!
He Wished He Could Turn Back ... Time.

Satan, Angry, Raging, Menacing
Knows His Time Is Short
So He Doesn't Waste It
On Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda!
He Didn't!

He Is Damned
And
His Diabolical Plan
On The Self-Serve, A' La Carte
Dice Your Slice Of Sure Damnation
There Ain't No Second Chances
Reel' Em In Plan!

He Dearly Loves His Jesus Saves Saved-In-Sin Unholy Plan!

Satan Is The Artist
The Prince Of Sin
The Singer Who Writes The Songs That 
Unwary Humans ... Greedy For Gain
Love To Publicly
 Sing:

They Sing For Him
But
Never A Hymn To Him Who Causes Them To Move
To Breathe
To Have Any Being!

Shame Bush For No Shame-Face ...

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not A Pleasing Fashion Statement 
On The Strait And Narrow Way!

For The Record ...

The Devil's Army Drew First Blood!
They Sprayed Growing In Grace With
Gems Of Truth ...!

... You'd Better Stop!

Devils Never Tell The Truth!

I Beg To Differ!

But, Why!?!

Are You A Sinner!?!

Of Course, We Are All Sinners!

Isn't Satan The Accuser!?!

All Day, Every Day!

Does He Tell Lies When He Accuses You
Of The Acts Of Sin That You Know That 
You Committed!?!

Oh, Dear! No!

Well, They Threw Gems Of Historical Truth!
They Threw Imprecations!
They Were Vile And Nasty
But
Growing In Grace Stood On The Rock Of His Salvation
And
He Handed Them Gems Of Living Truth
Unphased By Their Gems Of His Past Life
Of Sins Confessed, Repented Of
And
Forgiven! 

His Gems Are Good For Today, Tomorrow
And Forever!

Angels Were Watching Over Him
And
The Enemy Beat A Hasty Retreat!

At The End Of It All
Faith For The Day Embraced Him
Courage For The Way Wiped His Eyes
Gift Of The Lord Gave Him Pure Water
And
His Sleep That Night Was Peace And Rest!

As For The One Called Suffering Spiritual Poverty
He Had Seen It All
And
Finally Edified
He Understood What He Had To Do
To Gain The Victory ... His Victory
Over His Pet-Rock Sins!

Oh, Man!
Pet-Rock Sins Are The Worst! 
You Know They're Useless
You Put Them Away
But They're Always In Your Face ...!

Putting Them Away In Your Own Strength 
Won't, Can't, Work!
We've Got To Give Them Up To Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Start Working The Plan Of Addition!

We Must  ... By Diligence
Add To Our Blessed Gift Of Daily Faith, Virtue
  Then Add Knowledge 
   Then Add Temperance
    Then Add Patience
     Then Add Godliness
      Then Add Brotherly Kindness
And
       Then Add Charity!

Let's Not Forget The Rest Of The Text!

Let's Take It From The Top!

Indeed!
Remember, Brethren
The Plan Of Addition Can't, Won't Ever, Fail!
