SINNER MAN: Standing In The Need Of Prayer + PRAYER: Father, I Have An Adversary ...!





One By One They Knocked At
And 
Gained Entrance To 
Sinner Man's Abode:

Faith For Today
     Humble Yourself
          Necessity Of Prayer
               Confession Of Sin
                    Repentance For Sin, And
Abandonment Of Sin

For Perfection
Sinner Man Made The Seventh Man!

Willing Sinning ... His Mercurial Common-Law Wife
Snarkily Commented:

How Nice And Cute!
The Gang's All Here
Probably Wanting To Have With You
A Comfort The Guilty-Soul Affair!
Let's Cheer: Yeaaaaaah!

Sinner Man Was Not Amus-Ed!
He Was Hungering After Christ's Righteousness
And
He Was Desirous Of Being Fed The Bread Of Heaven
And
Willing Sinning Was Doing Her Best Imitation Of A Pig-Head
And
Truth Be Told
He Is Starting To See That Willing Sinning's Heart
To Saving Truth Has Wantonly Grown Cold
And
He Is Finally Getting The Impression That
His Relationship With Her
Is Not 
Going To Be Permitted To Prosper
And
They, Together, To Grow Old!

Said Sinner Man ... Thoughtfully
To His Dying-To-The-World Self:

I Believe The Word!
I Trust The Source!
Willing Sinning Does Not My Life Profit
And I Am Not One Of A Twin
Soooo, I Guess
I Know That As Regards This Dead-End Relationship
It Is Time For Me To Put The Big Chop Upon It!

Said Sinner Man ... Confidently
To Willing Sinning:

I Dearly Loved You Once
But I Do Not Love You Now!
You Are A Lost Cause
So Do Yourself A Nice Favor
And Get To Stepping Out Of My House!
Right Now!

You Entered Empty-Handed
But With Lots Of Pretty Words
And Now I Sincerely Encourage You
To Fill Your Hands With All Your Stuff And Nonsense:
Go Back To Your Family
Those Members Of The Lost-Goat Herd!

Willing Sinning Promptly Went Ballistic!
She Got On Like A Popped Kite!
She Paraded Like A Light Skirt In A High Wind!
She Dug In Her Heels
And 
Sought To Give Sinner Man
A Really Special ... Soul-Rocking
Nose-For-Sin
Sense-Overloading Delight

When, Suddenly

She Turned White As A Sheet
As She Heard Sinner Man Aggressively Say:

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!
You Have No More A Part In Me!
Jesus Christ The Righteous Is My Savior
And
By His Great Grace
I Am Following After Him Gladly!

To Willing Sinning's Consternation
Sinner Man Had Foolishly Done
What He Had Lovingly Promised Her That
He Would Never, Ever, Ever, Do:

He Had ... In An Instant
Changed His Name To 
Repentant Sinner Man
And
Even Now ... In Her Presence
Was Strapping On 
Blood-Covered Way-Of-The-Cross Shoes!

As Willing Sinning Proudly Strode To The Door
She Spared Him A Wickedly Vindictive Word
Proving That Their Past Relationship 
Was A Lie ... A Lying Convenience
And 
Not About Love:

I'd Have Preferred That 
You Had Experienced 
A Lethal Heart Attack And A Stroke!
We Shall Meet Again ... Yoke Or No Yoke!
You're Nothing But A Joke!

Faith For Today Enveloped Repentant Sinner Man
In His Comfortable Arms
Even As Instant Constant Prayer 
Entered The Room As Willing Sinning Stepped Away!

For Repentant Sinner Man
The Sun Somehow Shone Brighter That Day!


PRAYER:

Father,
You Chose Me And I Chose You!
I Desire Your Blessing
And Ever To Please You!
Blessing Me To Be Prayerful
Joyful, Hopeful
Ever Heeding
For I Have An Adversary
Against Whom I Sincerely Need Your Leading!

Pity Me, Dear Father
And Bless Me To Honor You
To Worship You As You Say
And Always Obey
And Help Me To Have Enduring Faith
Faith That Grows With Each Passing Day!

Thank You For Freedom!
Thank You For Hope!
Thank You For Victory Over Willing Sinning
And
Thank You, Dear Lord
For The Holy Spirit's Teaching
So That With The Vagaries Of This Life
I, By Grace, Will Cope!

I Love You, Lord
And
I Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer!
Please Help Me To Humble Myself Before You
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That I Pray And With Living Hope, Plead!
AMEN!
