Created Beings Can't Game God Almighty!



A Favored Pastime In This World Today 
Is 
To Play The Victim 
And 
Throw Down The Paint On The Paper Thick And Hard! 
Throw A Hissy Fit! 
Roll Around In A White Outfit On The Dirty Floor! 
Cuss Out Everybody In Hearing Distance! 
Call Yuh Mudda A Man 
And Then 
Get Up Clear-Eyed And Calm 
And 
Wonder If You Need A Sun-Tan! 

Man's Got Skills! 

Beloved, 

If You've Cracked Open The Living Word Of God
You Would Know That That Boat Don't Float 
In The Kingdom Of God! 

Blaming Others 
For You Doing You
For "Forcing" You To Do Wrong When You Know To Do Right
For Your Getting Caught With Your Hand Inside The Cookie Jar
And 
Running A Corrupt Game Of Straight Face 
Is 
All On You! 

Adam, Eve, Cain, Achan, And Saul 
All Tried That ... And Failed

And 

We Will Likewise Fail 
If 
We Believe That We Are Able To Game Almighty God! 

Think, Dear Ones! 

Can You Really Fool The Eternal God 
Who Is All-Seeing
All-Knowing
And
Ever-Present 
And
Feels All That We Feel!?! 

Wheel, And Come Again! 

The Lord Plainly, Unambiguously, Says To Us: 

Your Ways Are Not My Ways
Neither Are Your Thoughts My Thoughts! 

Punishment For Our Corrupt Behavior May Be Delayed 
But 
Rest Assured It Will Arrive 
At The Time Appointed By The God Of Heaven
Who Has Earth As His Foot-Stool! 

Please Don't Play Satan's Games 
When The Lord God Almighty Wrote The Rule Book For Man 
Which Is Avidly Used By All 
Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Will Never Realize The Value Of 
The Anchor Of Your Soul 
Until You Experience The Wrath Of The Storm! 

Be Wise: 
Load Your Soul's Anchor 
Aka Put On Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Get Rid Of Satan's Secret Sauce!

 





Babylon
Is
Synonymous
With
Sin
False Worship
And
Confusion!


Achan Wouldn't Take "Don't!" For The Warning! 

Beloved, 

No Matter Who We Say That We Are
No Matter How Much Money And Influence We Have
No Matter What We Believe That We Are Entitled To
We Cannot Have Anything And Everything That 
We Desire From Whomsoever 
And 
Wheresoever We Desire It 
When We Desire It! 
This Is Called Life 101: 
Get Accustomed To It! 

Wisely Choose To Pass This Necessary Life 101 Class 
And 
Make Life Easy For Yourself 
And 
For Everyone Else Who Has Already Grown Up!

The Lord, In His All-Knowing Mercy
Says "No! And "Don't!" 
To Our Selfish Desires And Requests 
And
Uses Them As Warnings 
Because 
He Knows That 
If We're Left To Our Own Destructive Tendencies
We Would Destroy Ourselves 
And 
Many Others ... As Did Achan! 

When Our Creator, Savior, And Redeemer Speaks 
And
We, Self-Deceived, Deliberately And Dynamically Disobey
Guaranteed Consequences We Will Not Like Will Follow! 

Precious Gifts From God ...

All Proper Parents Teach Our Children That 
That "I Deserve It!" Ugly Attitude Ain't Going To Fly 
And
Help Them To Understand That 
"No!" And "Don't!" Mean Exactly That! 

This Unacceptable Behavior In Children 
Is 
Seriously Despised In Adults 
Who Should Possess Wisdom, Understanding 
And
Self-Control! 

Please Consider The End Of Cain, Achan
Prophet Balaam
King Saul
Prince Adonijah And His Brother Prince Absalom
And 
Step Away From Satan's Secret Sauce Called Self! 

"Noah" To Sin Built The Ark Of Safety: 
Get Aboard 
And 
Live! 

Obey The Lord 
And 
Prosper! 

Peace!

Don't Be Covetous!
Reject
Babylon's Goodly Garments!

Desire The Best Gifts!


Luke 12:15 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Covetousness 
Is 
A Kin To Idolatry 
And 
Neither A Covetous Person Nor An Idolater 
Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God 
For These Are Sins Against The Holy God! 

Beloved, 

We Have The Word Of Almighty God 
As The Anchor For Our Purchased Souls 
And 
He Has Promised To Provide For Us
And 
Protect Us! 

Our Blessing, Giving, Forgiving, Faithful God
Has Given Unto Us The Gifts Of Prayer
The Unfailing Blessing Of Faith 
And 
The Pure Lubricant Of Trust 
To Daily ... Moment By Moment ... Use 
To Secure That Which We Need
And
Not What Our Greedy Hearts, Eyes And Stomachs Covet 
Aka Inordinately, Evilly, Desire! 

Remember ... 

Achan Wanted Babylonia Garments, Silver And Gold
Balaam Wanted Unrighteous Wealth
King Saul Kept Cursed But Fat Cattle
Disciple Judas Wanted Silver For Selling The Savior
And 
Ananias And Sapphira Wanted The Praise Of Men
For A Lie Over A Gift Of Their Own Money
Which They Had Not Given To God As They Said!
These All Died Lost To The Kingdom Of God! 

Little With Contentment
Is
Great Gain! 

The Soul With A Contented Spirit
- A Heart For Christ -
Can Eat "Grass" And Get Fat 
So Be Contented! 

Note This Well ... 

If You Really Want Something To Desire
Boldly Desire The Keys To The Eternal Kingdom
The Crown Of Life
Immortality
Incorruptibility
The Robe Of Righteousness
The Harp Of Gold
The New Name
The Overcomer's Palm
The Place Prepared For You In The Father's House 
And 
A Seat At The Welcome Home Table! 

Dare To Desire All Of Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts:

  • Desire The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding
  • Desire To Drink From The River Of The Water Of Life
  • Desire To Eat From The Tree Of Life
  • Desire To Be Indwelt By The Holy Spirit Who Is Almighty God
  • Desire Jesus Christ And The Living Kingdom
  • Desire To Be Taught Of Almighty God

IDOLATRY: Loves ... And Rewards!?!

The Idolatry Of Today
Covetousness
And
Selfishness
Love Of Money
And
Love Of The World

Are Like The Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
Riding Roughshod Amongst
And
Over
The Named People Of The Eternal God!

The Lord Said:

The Poor Will Be With You Always!
I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!
Come Unto Me And ... Rest!
Cast Your Every Care On ... Me!


Satan Got Cast Out Of Heaven 
For Selfishness And Covetousness!

King Ahab Was Selfish And Covetous!

Achan And His Family Were Destroyed
For Selfishness, Covetousness 
The Love Of Money
And
The Love Of The World
And
King Saul
The Rich Young Ruler
King Herod
And
Pontius Pilate Lost Eternity
Because
They Patently Loved Self
The World
And
The Things Of The World!

Just So You'd Know ...

Living For And Loving The World
And
The Things Of The World
Do Not Bring Lasting Pleasure!

Living For Money ... That Filthy Lucre
Does Not Encourage One
To Seek After The Kingdom Of God!

Living Selfishly Does Not Encourage One 
To Share In The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ The Lord

And

Indulging Covetousness
Enthrones A False God
- An Idol Known Useless -
Upon The Throne Of Your Heart
Instead Of The True And Holy God!

I, Therefore Urge You, Brethren ...

Please Do A 180
And
Turn Toward Him Who Is
The Holy God!
Please Accept The Offer Of 
A Covenant Relationship
And
Stop Trying To Be Your Own God!

Idol-Worshippers
Shall Not Enter The City
Neither Those Who Indulge
Selfishness And Pride
Neither Those Who Live For Those Things That
Cannot Ever Profit
And
Neither Those Who Sit Enraptured With
Tied Up In
And
Consumed
By The Ways Of That Devil, Satan
The True
The Ultimate Fraud!

If Almighty God Is Almighty God
Worship Almighty God!

If Satan Is Your God
By Virtue Of His Calling Your Shots
I'm Sad To Tell You That
Inevitably
Ultimately
Eternally
You Shall Surely Share
His Stated Reward!

The Pay For Which You Have Labored
Is
Exactly The Pay That You Will Earn

So, Do Not Be Like Ephraim!
Do Not Cause The Lord Of Life
To Speak Out Against You:





This Is The Harshest Condemnation Uttered 
From The Mouth Of Almighty God 
Because 
It Means Certain Damnation For The Recipient: 
You Are Left To Your Own Devices 
And 
The Wicked Manipulations Of Our Adversary
Our Accuser, Satan! 

The Facts Matter ...

No One With The Character Of Ephraim 
Shall Enter The City Of God! 

Even Though Ephraim Was One Of The Patriarchs
There Is No Gate In The Holy City Bearing His Name 
Because 
He Preferred Useless Idol-Worship 
And 
Actually, Continually
Rejected The Call Of The Holy Spirit 
To Return To The True 
And 
Pure Worship Of Almighty God 
So That He Would Be Blessed ... And Saved! 

Please Be Wise Unto Salvation
And
Do Not Reject Available Grace!
Please Answer The Call To Life Everlasting!
Put Away The Personal Idols
And
Make Your Peace With The Eternal God!

Jesus Christ Wept For Us! 


Do Not Permit Your Spurious Loves
To Gain For You
The Untenable, Inescapable
Unwanted, Unrejectable, Reward!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Victory In Jesus: Trust The Word! + Prayer: Lord, Guide Us!


Brethren,
Please Draw Nigh!


All Ye That Love
The Lord Of Life
Have No Reason
- By Reason Of Faith -
At The Injustices Done
To Yourselves To Cry!


Let Us Bless God
For Truth And Light
And Let Us Live Our Lives
So That He In Us Will Find Delight!


Easy For You To Say!

Easier Said Than Done!

Brethren, No!
She Speaks The Truth!
We Need To Think Vertically!
Think Of The Two Yutes!


Yutes?!

Young Ones!

Who Are These Young Ones
We Need To Think Of?!


Brethren,
Who Were The Two Young Men
Who Championed The God Of Heaven
Even In The Midst Of Sorrow And Seeming Disgrace?!


I Know, I Know!
Joseph And Daniel!

Check!
These Young Men
Did Not Stand On Ceremony!


Joseph Did Not Take The Bait
Against His God
To Commit Adultery!


Daniel Walked Upright
In His Integrity
Not Permitting
The Machinations Of The Minions
To Stop Him
From Saying His Daily Prayers
To The God Of All Creation

AND
Before That
He Chose Not To Defile Himself
By Eating Drinking
Swine And Wine!

Both Of These Noble Men
Were By Very Evil
Set Upon
BUT GOD ...!
But God What?!

Question For You ...

Did God
A. Stop Joseph's Brethren From Trying To Kill Him
B. From Selling Him Into Slavery
C. From Potiphar's Wife Trying To Seduce Him
D. From His Being Wrongfully Accused
E. From His Being Cast Into Prison
F. From His Being Forgotten By The Baker
G. From His Languishing In Prison?


No, No, No, No ... On All Counts!
On The Issue Of Daniel:

Did Daniel's Unyielding Faith And Trust
In The Holy God
Stop Him From:


A. Being Carried Into Babylonian Captivity
B. Being Confronted With The Unclean Diet Of The King
C. Being Targeted By Jealous, Wicked, Men
D. Being Spied Upon
E. Being Caught In The Web Of Evil And Deceit
F. Being Arrested
G. Being Tried
H. Being Condemned
I. Being Cast Into A Den Of Hungry Lions
J. Spending His Entire Life As A Captive
K. Being A Captive Even Though It Was In  Gilded Cage?


A Thousand Times ... No!
But, Why?!

It Seems Kinda Unfair
Rewarding Devotion And Fidelity 

With Red Torment!

Red Torment! I Like That!
What Does Mean?!

Everyday Torment Is Black
No Chance Of Being Killed ...!


... So Red Torment Means
Life On The Line
High Possibly Of Bloodshed
Leading To Death!


You've Got It In One!

Yes!! 

Almighty God
- Our Lord -
Could Have 

STOPPEDJoseph From Being Set Upon By His Brethren
From Being Cast Into A Dry Well
From Being Sold As A Slave
From Being Separated From His Beloved Father!


Sounds A Lot Like Jesus, Doesn't It?!

It Should Make Us Think!

Almighty God
Could Have ...!


... He Didn't!

... But Didn't Stop
Daniel From Being The Flint
That Lit
The Dried Out Straw Of Raw Jealousy!


Think For A Moment
On True-Hearted Abel!
Moses In The River Nile!
Moses' 40 Years In The Training School Of God Before
The 40 Years Wilderness Experience!


Sad ...!
He Didn't Enter The Earthly Promised Land!

Rejoice ...!
 Before His Body Saw Corruption
Jesus As Michael Took Him
- After Rebuking Satan -
To The Heavenly Promised Land!


Take A Look Also
At Moses' Successor Joshua!
IF Ever There Is A Lesson For Us
It Is That!


What On Earth Do You Mean?
What Happened Just Before
The Big Battle Of Joshua's Career?


Do You Mean Before Jericho?!

Exactly!

He Had A Confrontation
With "The Unknown!"


And ...?!

He Uttered The Challenge:

"Are You For Us Or For Them?!"

And ...?!

The Response Was Swift
AND
All Of God's Children
Should Take It To Heart
AND
Raise The Standard Of Truth
The Pennant Of Faith
High
No Matter What It Is
With Which We Are Confronted!



Remove Your Shoes!
You Are On Holy Ground!
The Captain Of Heaven's Hosts
Is Here!
Stand Firm!
Listen To 
And
Do Exactly What I Say
Your Victory Over Sin Shall Appear!


Jericho Is Synonymous With Sin!
The Captain Of Heavens Hosts
ISThe Eternal
Christ Jesus!
Shoes Off On Holy Ground
IS

Nothing Between
You And God's Word

You And Christ!

When You Are Rooted And Grounded
You Will Stand Firm
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Against
The Thick And High Walls
Of The Devil's City Of Sin!


Did Joshua Believe?
Did Joshua Take Heed?
Did Joshua Execute
On The Word Of Preparation Given By The Lord?
Did Joshua Fight Valiantly?
Did Joshua - In The Name Of The Holy God -
Defeat The Citadel Of Satan?
Did Joshua Claim
AND
Inhabit
The Promised Land
The Great Reward?!


Indeed He Did!

Praise God For Grace And Coming Glory!

Brethren,
Don't Start Rejoicing Just Yet
For
In Every Lesson
There Is A Tale Of Caution!


The Cautions Today
Are Two!
In Joshua ... Remember Achan
Who
Though A Citizen
Of The Household Of God
Trusted Himself To Provide
His Own Financial Security
AND
Gave Up Sure Paradise
For The Lie
Which Lies In
The Goodly Babylonian Garment
- The Lies Of The Father Of Lies -
AND

The Perishable
Silver On Top Of Gold
Which Must
From Detection
Must Be Hidden
Under The Desert Sand Floor Boards!


Nasty!

That's Just Wrong!

Better Off Waiting For The Fulfillment Of The Promise!
Do You Know What Happens
To Those Who Would Be
God's Traffic Director?!


Lots Are Cast Against Them
Aka They Are Found Out
And They Are Denounced
For Troubling The Camp Of God
And Are Condemned
And Are Led Outside
The Camp Of The Righteous!


AND ...?!


And They Are Summarily Destroyed!

He Shouldn't Have Touched The Unclean Thing!
He Should Have Stood Firm
Just Like Daniel!


Achan Should Have Awaited
God's Appointed Crown Of Glory ...!


... And Could Have
- Like Joseph -
Saved Many
From The Congregation Of The Righteous
From The Strangers' Realm
Giving Them The Bread Of Salvation
So That For The Kingdom
Hungering Souls
May Be To Satisfaction
Be Completely Fed!


This Is Interesting!

We Started With Joseph And Daniel
AND

We Are Finishing The Same Way
Giving Credence
To The Truth Of The Word Of God:


Line Upon Line
Precept Upon Precept
Here A Little
There A Little!


The Hid Treasure Is Revealed
IF 

We Will
Trust The Living God
With Our Living

ANDOur Lives To Lead!
So ...

With That Said
What Have You Learnt Today?


Walk By Faith!
Don't Trust Your Eyesight!

Wisdom Builds A Sure House!
Don't Lean On Your Own Understanding!

Almighty God Is The Sure Foundation!

Goodly Babylonian Garments
And Stolen Hidden Silver And Gold 

Do Not Build A Prosperous House
Or Lead To Longevity!


Wait On The Lord!
Trust God And Grow!
Father Knows Best!

Eyesight And Hindsight
Are Not Equal
To The All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
Foresight
Foreknowledge
Of The Eternal God!


Those Are All Very Good Answers!
You Surely Have Been Studying!
Well Done!

Brethren Beloved,
Stand Firm In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

AND
For The Truth
Be Ye Old Or Youth!


Jesus Christ Is The Sure Foundation!
Trust Him At His Word
All The Time
AND
More Particularly

When You Can't See
How Why When Where If
To Sit Stand
Or Walk Run
Or Just Go!


The Righteous Are Never Forsaken!
The Wilfull And Unrighteous
- With Deliberation -
Committedly Forsake God
AND
Receive Into Themselves
Greedy-For-Gain's Just-Condemnation Award!


Any Last Words?

Don't Do A Lucifer
And Take The Adversary Of God Role
For
You Will Be As Satan
And
The Lake Of Fire, Then
Will Be Your Goal!


Well Said!

Let's Pray:

Thank You, God

For Truth And Light!
Let Us In Your Word Delight!
Teach Us
Feed Us
And
Day By Day
Guide Us
So That From Your Living Truth
We Will Never Stray!


Bless Us To Do Your Will

This Day
And
Keep Us Safe
Forever In Your Care
In Jesus' Holy Name, We Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Haste The Glad Day Of Redemption!
We See Our Need! 
AMEN!
