ALTAR CALL: Righteous Desire vs. Wicked Expectation

Is Your All On The Altar!?!

Which Altar Might That Be!?!

The Altar Of Sacrifice, You Silly Billie!

I Don't See No Altar Of Sacrifice!
I See Pleasures Galore
And Every Body In The Know
Is Headed Toward The Altar Of Convenience
Of That You Can Be  Sure!

Hmmm... 
In The Long Run 
Convenience Is Not At All Convenient
Because It Yields No Long-Term Profit!

The Altar Of Sacrifice Is A Cure
For All Who Desire To Reside
On The Golden Shore!

Convenience And Sacrifice Collide ...!

... Just Like Desire And Expectation ...!

... And Good And Evil!

I Hear, And Truly Believe, That!


Think About It:



Daily Bible Verse - Proverbs 11:23 | Proverbs 11:23 The desi… | Flickr




There Will Only Be Two Groups Of Persons 
At The End Of All Things: 
For Jesus Against Satan Aka Those Righteous 
And
For Satan Against Jesus Aka The Wicked! 

Nobody In Either Of Those Groups Will Be There By Accident: 
Free-Will Personal Choice Makes The Decision! 

Those Who Chose Satan By Indulging Sin, Disobedience
And 
The Willful Way 
Shall Not Enjoy Satan's "Promised" Never-Ending Party 
But 
Shall See God's Wrath Poured Out 
Without The Mercy They Then Want 
But Which They Had Despised All Their Lives! 

Regret Will Be Bitter Indeed: 
Their "Party" Is Become A Pyre! 

Those Who Chose Jesus Christ 
Desired His Gift Of Goodness With Longing Hearts 
And
At His Coming
They Shall See Their Hopes ... Their Expectation
- Their Inheritance -
Realized! 
They Are Blessed Forever! 

Beloved,

Desire And Expectation 
And 
Receipt Of Desire 
Only Align In The Realm Of Truth: 
Almighty God's Promises To Us Are Sure And Secure! 

Our Faith Is Our Security Blanket
So Work Your Faith:
Chew On It
Stretch It Out
Wrap Up In It
And 
Carry It Everywhere ... Every Day! 
It Will Grow 
And 
You ... Enduring
Will Go ... Up 
To Enjoy The Lord's Glorious Goodness ... Eternally
After The Welcome Home Children Feast! 

Praise The Lord For Truth And Perfect Peace!

Alert And Alter At The Altar

Alert And Alter Are At The Altar Of God!
Alert And Alter Are Brethren!
Alert And Alter Are In Every Bible Story!
Alert And Alter Do Not Assist Any Man In Crime!

The Bible Is The Word Of God
AND
It Is Often
- Constantly -
Targeted
For An Update
Rewrite
Reimagining
Reinterpretation
Colorization
Even Blackening
By The Adept, Satan
The Wily God-Fraud!

The Bible Is Truth
AND
Needs No Color
Needs No Spin!

The Bible Is The Good Book
AND
The Way To Live Right Is Within
AND
All Who Choose The Way Of Truth And Right
Will Find Alter And Alert
At The Altar Of Sacrifice
A True And Indeed Perfect
Way-To-Eternal-Life
Delight!

A Caution For The Cautious
The Careless
The Careful
The Corrupt ...

Let The Word Of God
Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit Of God
Lead You Into All Truth!

Alter And Alert ...!

... Branks, I Believe You Are Just A Touch
Offside!

What Do You Mean?!

Alert Speaks Before Alter Gets One To The Altar!

Oh, My!
You Are Soooo Right!
Thanks For The Heads-up!
We Don't Want Anyone
Doing A Bottom-Up
And Then Walk The Wrong Way!

Here Goes ...

Read The Bible With Intent
For
There Is Hid Treasure
That Will Be Used In The Future Time!

Let The Story Unfold
ANDLet The Holy Spirit Alert You
To The Veracity Of The Living Words Before You
AND
Permit The Holy Spirit
To Help You To Alter Your Life's Course
By Your Bowing Before The Altar Of The Eternal God
Who Is Your Life Force!

Understand This ...

Excavating A Mine
For Hidden Treasure Is Quite Fine
BUT
Definitely Not Very Practical
If You Leave The Unearthed Treasure
Exposed
AND
Behind!

Do Your Soul A Favor!
Bless The Living God
AND
Bless The Family Of God
AND
Discipline Your Own Soul
Before The Heavenly Father
Has To Discipline You
With The Correcting Rod
Because
You "Fell" Into Company
With Beelzebub The Bold
Mr. Deceitful
The Known Fraud!

Know The Truth!
The Truth Sets Man Free!
Put Truth In The Inward Parts
AND
After Enduring All Things In Jesus Christ's Faith
You Shall Be
The Honored Guest
At the Heavenly Jubilee!


How Alert
Are You To Truth
So That You Can Spot
The Practiced Lie?!


When Last Did You Permit
An Alert To Truth
To Cause To Alter Your Thinking
And
Diverge From
The Path That Would Make You Cry
Or
Even Eventually Cause You
To Eternally Die!


With The Blessing Of An Alert
Which Has Led You
To Alter Your Life's Path
Have You Placed Your All
Before Jesus Christ The Lord
On
The Altar Of Sacrifice?!

********


It's Time To Stop Playing Footsie
With The Fraud
And
Let Jesus Be Your All! 
Please, Please, Please
Answer Affirmatively
The Soul Salvation Call!

HAPPY SABBATH + WRESTLING: Winning!




... And I Shall Wrestle With The Lord Christ
Just Like Jacob Did
And When Like Jacob
I'm Asked To Let Go
For The Time Of Worship Is Come
I Shall Not
Until He Shall Bless Me!
I Shall Be The Champi'n!

You Are Right About Being
A Champi'n
For A Champion You Are Not!
Christ Created You!
You Can't Win In A Wrestling Match With ... GOD!

Oooh, I Can Feel 
A Withering Response Coming ...!
You Puny Human!
You're Puny Because Of
Dare I Say It?! 

Yup!

You Lack Working Faith!
You Read The Words
But You Don't Believe
And That Is Why You And I
Cannot See Face To Face!

Salvation Is Free
Free To All Who Believe
BUT ...!

THERE IS NO BUT IN SALVATION!!

Why So Loud, My Brother?!
There Is Indeed
A Big BUT In Salvation
For
Even Though Salvation
Is A Free Gift Of Faith
Faith Is Expressed
BYObedience
ANDObedience Requires Work
So, Therefore
There Is Work For
AND
To Be Done By
All Who Believe!

We All Need
A Faith That Works
BY Love
And, Then
Like Jacob
We Shall Have Power
With God
AND
With Men!

You Can't Prove That!!

Calm Down Or You'll Pop A Vein!
I Can Prove It
AND
I Will Prove It!

Fact:

The Hands That Grab Hold Of Christ
By Christ's Gift To Us Of Faith
- As Expressed In The Plain Promises
In The Word Of Truth -
Cannot Be Made To Release Their Hold
Except By Christ's Incapacitating Force!

Come On!
Faith Is Just A Word!

If You Say So!
Who Did Jacob Wrestle? 

Jesus!

Who Won The Fight?

Jesus!

You Are So Right
BUT
Oh, So Wrong!

Huh?!

You Need To Stop Thinking Physical!

Explain That!
I Dare You!

Jacob ... By Faith
Took A Hold On The Giver Of His Faith
Which He Had Received 20 Years Prior
At His Journey
To What Would Be
His Ultimate
- True -
Salvation!

I'm With You ... So Far!

When Jacob First Left Home
His Man-Brand Was Supplanter!
Usurper!
He Was A Considered A Thief
A Liar
A Deceiver!

Then, He
- By Dream -
Saw Heaven's Gate
With Angels Ascending
Descending!
He Called The Place
- Which He Subsequently Anointed -
Beth-El
Aka The House Of God
AND
There
HE, Jacob
Made A Covenant With The Lord!

Jacob Repented Of His Known Sins
AND
Was By Life
Severely Tested
AND
Cruelly Tried!

BUT ...

On Receiving The Call
To Return To The Promised Land
Before He Could Enter The River Of Baptism
To Enter The Land Of Milk And Honey
The Land Of Rest
- Clean -
He
- In The Midnight Hour
Of All Mankind's Distress -
Had To Fight
With The Supposed Adversary
Approximately ... To The Death!

The Supposed Adversary Of His Body
Turned Out To Be
The Very Real Savior Of His Soul
AND
In Remembrance
AND
In Belief
Jacob ... In Working Faith
Strove To Save His Body
AND
Did, Indeed
Save His Own Soul!

Remember That
His Covenant  With God
Was Made
As He Was Going Away From Home!

I'm Not Yet Convinced!

How Did Jacob Become Known As Israel?!

He Won The Battle
And Jesus Changed His Name
After ...!

After, After, After ... What?!

... After Jesus Injured His Leg
To Force Him To Let His Savior Go!

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Bingo!!!
We Have A Touch-Down!

God's Covenant 
With Jacob
Was Made On Jacob's Way Back Home
To The Promised Land!
His Name Was Changed
To Israel
Because ...

... Because As A Prince
He Had Power
With God
AND
With Men ... And Prevailed!
  
So ...

Did I Make My Point?!

You Know That You Know That You Did!

Very Good!
A Firm Faith Wrestles With The Lord
AND
Prevails!

Just So You Know
All The Faithful
Must Wrestle With The Lord
BUT ...!

You And These Buts!

... But They Cannot
- Will Not -
Win
In Their Wrestling With Christ
IFThere Is Unconfessed Sin
Aka Unforgiven Sin
In Their Lives!
It Must All Be Placed On The Altar Of Sacrifice!

Jesus Christ
Can Only Save Those Who
Follow All The Directions
That Will Cause Them
Heavens Pearl Gates
- By Right -
To Walk Through!

I Hear You
And I Now Truly Believe!
We Must All Get Fighting Fit
If We Will
In The Great Day
Enter In The Eternal City
And At God's Welcome Table Sit!

Amen, Brother!
AMEN.

My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me!



The Biggest Failure
Of My Life
Was Doubting 
The Good Faithfulness Of God
Who
Made A Blessing For Me
Out Of A Boldly Malicious Deceit Of The Fraud!

I Have Often Wondered
How Is It Possible
To Tell The Living God
Years Later
One Is Sorry For One's Long Ago Sin
When
The Product Of Your Sin
Saves Your Life -
It's Beyond My Understanding!

This Issue "Tormented"
My Spirit For Years -

Father, How Can I Be Sorry
For A Wrong
When
Months Later
By Its Advent
In Dire Distress
I Was Made Strong -
How IS This Possible?
Open My Eyes Lord!
I Have No Desire To Face The Unconfessed
Unrepentant Sinner's Frown!

And,  Then ...

With The Inevitable Passage Of Time
AND
A Willingness
To Let The Lord Christ
To Me
Be The One Divine
Ever So Often
I Would Talk To God On This Matter!

What I Did
Was Upright Sin
BUT
My God Had Not Me Forsaken
AND
Out Of A Prompted Evil
In Mercy For Me
Almighty God
Over-Rode The Desire Of The Devil
AND
Made A Way
That He For Good
Could Make A Use Of Me!

Sexual Sin
Is Sin Against One's Very Soul!
Thievery
Is Sin Against Someone's Property Or Cash Cold!
Willful Destruction Of A Man's Character
Is A Sin Which Makes The Man Poor
But Doesn't Make Us Rich
AND
Blasphemy
Is Proud Sin
Bold Sin 
Against The Holy God
Who Sits On Heaven's Throne
Which Will Get Us Into Hot Hell
By God's Vengeance
Served Cold!

But I Digress.

It Took Time ... But I Learned
God Is Faithful!
Even Though His Love We Spurn
God Forgives
AND
He Has A Thousand Ways  To Save
That We Not Of!

Sin Has Its Own Reward
But
Out Of Evil
Cometh Good
BECAUSE
God Said:
It's A Promise ...

ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD
To THEM THAT LOVE God
AND ARE CALLED
According To HIS PURPOSE!

BUT ... Be Ye Warned

All Sin Takes A Toll On The Soul
AND
Presumptuous Sin
Is Amongst The Worst
For That Type Sin
Always Births Running Foals
AND
Left Unchecked
Before The Living God
Is Going To Cost The Sinner His Soul!

I Went Before The Lord!
I Explained My Predicament!
I Said With My Mouth
That I Was Sorry
AND
Then Humbly Asked:

Father,  
How Do I
Of This Sin Honestly
With A Contrite Heart
Truly Repent?

The Reply Is Simple
Yet
Profound:

Against Me
Against Me Only
Hast Thou This Sin Done!
I Am Your Father!
I Said To You In My Commandments
Don't Do It
But
You Permitted The Devil
Against Me
To Turn You Around!

Your Sin Is Not In Choosing To Believe
The Lie Of Satan
But In Not Choosing To Believe 
The Truth Of Your God
And For This
You've Borne Many Sorrows
That By Obedience You Could Have Avoided
And Lived In Tranquility
Your Life Long!
Remember Eve And Adam!

The Person With So-Called
 Life And Death Power
And
Food And Shelter
Peace And Security
Even Love
Which Often At Man's Hands
Turn Into Hate Power
Has No Real Power
Nor Control Over You!

I Gave Unto You Free Will
A Measure Of Faith
Grace To Find Help
And Grace For Each Day
And
Against Every Temptation
A Sure Way Of Escape!

All Sin Must Be Repented
No Matter If For God
You Are Doing A Good Work
For
You May Work To Save Others
But
For Yourself
You May Find Your Own Salvation
An Unutilized Heaven-Given Perk!


All Sin Is Against The God Of Heaven
And Is Against
- Over Us -
His Sovereignty
AND
By Giving Place To The Devil
We Are Likening Him
To Heaven's Own Royalty!

I Finally Understood
As
Before The God Of Heaven
One Day I Stood:

Every Check Mark
Has To Have Against It
A Corresponding Balance -
By Repentance Paid ... Sin Erased
BUT
By Unrepentance Left Unpaid ... Against My Name
The Sin Stayed!

If Sin Is Left Unrepented
In The Day Of Fierce Judgment
My Subsequent Righteousness
That Is ... My Subsequent Right Living
Will Not The Death Angel's Hand Stay!

A Christian Has No Excuse
For Sin To Remain Unrepented Of
BECAUSE
Under The Agency
The Prompting
Of The Holy Spirit
- As King David Said -
The Sin Is Ever Before You!

For Many, Many Years
Every Single Night
I Would Say:

Create In A Clean Heart,  Oh,  God ...!
Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence ...!
Take Not Your Holy Spirit From Me ...!
Return Unto Me The Joy ...!
Uphold Me ...!

Until
I Finally Understood Why:

The Sin Was/Is Sinful!
The Blessing Was/Is Real!
God IS The Father
AND
His Ways Never Fail!




Then I
With My Heart In My Throat
AND
Truly Repentant
Repented To My God
In The Name Of My Jesus
AND
I Am  ...  Forgiven!


Satan Cannot Outwit God!
What Was Meant
For My Eternal Destruction
Was Overridden
In The Court Of Heaven!

God Knows Our Hearts!

*********


When We Choose
To Work With
And
For God
God Mercifully Works On Us
To Remove From Our Person
The Putrifying Sores
From The Fraud
To Gain For Us
His Eternal Blessings!

*********

Trust God!

He Restores!

*********


Beloved . . .
Is There Something
Anything
That You Need To Place
On The Altar
Of Sacrifice . . . TODAY?!

Is Your All On The Altar - Sabbath Prayer and Blessing



HAPPY SABBATH!
Bless the Lord, Oh, my soul! And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

Father, we come before You on another Sabbath Day and thank You for this opportunity to stand before You in quietness, and in peace, and safety.

We thank You, Lord, for the Blessed Assurance that makes us able to stand before You redeemed, justified, and sanctified, all because of Jesus.

Thank You, Lord, for the myriad blessings You have bestowed upon us during the hours of the week now past, and for numerous blessings You will bestow upon us before this Sabbath is over.

Father, we thank You for the gift of Calvary. We thank You for the roofs You caused to be placed over our heads, the food You bountifully placed upon our tables, for good health, for supple strength, for loving friends, and devoted family, and we especially prayer for straights paths for our children,

Have mercy, Lord, on the leaders of our various nations and assemblies, and we ask You to open their eyes so that they may see that You, the Most High God, rules over the affairs of men, and that Your Will is sovereign. Help them, Lord, to return to the old way-marks whereby there is safety.

Father, we pray for Your children around the planet who are facing stiff opposition for their faith in the Lord, Christ, for their standing for truth, for right-living, and for love of the Edenic family. Oh, Lord, have mercy on us.

We pray, Father, for the presence of the Holy Angels to surround and guard, and guide each and every member of the Family of God, and we pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in double portion, and for the direction that only the Spirit of God can provide so that we may speak powerfully of the Gospel of Christ to this dying world.

Father, we beseech You to help us to sit still and listen... to the Quiet Voice, and grant us spiritual ears to hear, and the will to obey, and to place our all on the Altar of Sacrifice. Help us to let go of our reigns to the Holy Spirit, and let Him take control of our will, our ways, our days and our years.

We ask You to help us to STOP, as ordained of the Sabbath, and to rest, and find refreshing from the hustle and bustle that marked each weary day of the work-week. Please quiet our minds, our thoughts, and our actions so that we may indeed be filled from the Storehouse of Heaven, and be blessed.

We ask You, Lord, to help us to live as the peacemakers, the hungry and the thirsty after righteousness, the meek, the merciful, the mournful, the pure in heart, the poor in spirit, the persecuted for righteousness sake, the salt of the earth, and as light in and to this dark world, so that we may obtain the blessings of Christ. Help us to rejoice, and to be exceedingly glad for the great reward that awaits us ...in Heaven.

Grant us Your Grace, Lord, to stand firm, to the end of our days, so that we may be counted worthy to be citizens of the Kingdom, and to receive our robes, and our crowns.

Father, please bury Heaven deep within each of our souls until the Day breaks when we shall see King Jesus.

We love You, Lord, and we thank You for hearing and answering the prayers of Your believing children. AMEN.
