PRAYER : Father, I Bow My Heart Before You!

Father,
I Thank You For Mercy!
Father,
I Thank You For Grace!
Father,
I Look Forward With Gratitude
To Living With My Jesus In Perfect Peace
When, Finally, The Days Of Disgrace Are Forever Displaced!

I Have Much To Thank And Bless You For
And
The Truth Is That I Will Never Know The Sum!
I Have Been And Am Living Upon Your Bounty
Without Which Of That Precious Gift Called Life
I Most Assuredly Would Have None!

I Bow My Heart Before You
Even When I Can't Bend Me Knee!
Please Help Me Never Again To Pay You Lip Service
By The Uttering Of Vain Words Flowery!

I Desire The Heart To Heart Relationship With You!
I Desire The Life That Is Christ's!
I Desire The Outpouring
And
The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
So That Your Control Over Me
Can Never Be Doubted Nor Denied!

Bless Me, Dear Lord
To Speak The Truth
To Do The Right
To Live Right In The Righteous Son's Light
To Love My Fellow Man
As Jesus Christ Loves Us
And
Do All That You Say
Because Disobedience Costs
But
Obedience Always Pays!

Thank You For The Angel Guard!
Thank You For The Recording Angel
The Knowledge Of Whose Presence
I Pray
Will Always Cause Me
To Stop And Think About What I Do
Or Choose To Say! 

Father,
May The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Lead Me
Guide Me
Teach Me
Chide Me
Moment By Moment
Each And Every Day!
I Hold You In Godly Fear!!

I Have A Home In Glory Land
To Which I Am Travelling Even Now
And
I Am Relying On You, Father
To Help Get Me Safely There

And, So

Despite Disappointments

Denials
And
The Death Promised To Man
I Choose To Walk With Jesus Christ

By My Received Gift Of
Daily Grace And Daily Faith!

Help Me To Keep On In The Race!

Please Take Me By The Hand
And
Help Me In My Lot
- On The Day Appointed -
Triumphantly To Stand!

Thank You For Hearing
And
For Answering My Prayer
For I Ask All In The Dear Name Of
The Holy Jesus! 

Please Come Soon!

I Love You, Father!
AMEN.

TRUTH... IS!

The Truth Shall Set Us Free!

No Color
No Spin
Truth Is And ... Done!
Truth Is Not A Fun Run!

Truth Hurts
Truth Helps
Truth Heals

Truth From The Living Book
Is Lamp
AND
Light

AND
All Things Reveal!
Truth Utilized
Will Get One For Heaven Sealed!

Truth Is A Cloak
Truth Is Armour
Truth Comes Of The Living God
Truth Is Not
- Cannot -
Be A Colored Banner
Painted
By The Wily Fraud - Don't Him Laud!
He Will Never Be God The Lord!

Truth Is The Door
Truth Is A Bed
Truth Is Bread
Truth Is The Shield
Protection From The Darts
From The Likes Of Men
Whose Consciences Are
Dead! Dead! Dead!

Truth
The Real Utterance That Hallows ... Our Way!
Truth
The Key From The Lord
That Says:

Repentant Sinners

For Their Own Sin

Shall Not Pay!

Jesus Prayed

Jesus Obeyed
Jesus For Our Sin Completely Paid
Jesus Did Not
In Death Stay!

Jesus Got Up
Jesus Returned
To The Heavenly Way
Where He
Word
Truth
Light
Life
The Only Way
Waits ... Interceding
Pleading His Own Blood
To Make Sure That We
- Faithful
Obedient
Enduring Believers -
Have A Seat At The Welcome Table
When Comes
The Great Celebration Day!
He's Soon Coming Our Way!

Truth Seals
Truth Feels
Truth  ... To A Hopeful Child Of God
IS
The Only Deal
- No Gamble -
AND
Is Worth
Everything
In This Life
Forsaking!
Let No Mere Man
Nor Devil Set You To Quaking!

Do You Do Truth?
Or
Is Truth
To You
The Broken Tooth
To Be Patched
Detached
To Be Replaced
Like Roof Thatch?!

God Restores!
Jesus Christ - The Door
To Heaven - 

Intercedes

AND

Waits! 
Angels Guard! 

AND 
The Holy Spirit Comforts

AND 
We Have With Eternity
- For Good Or For Ill -

A No-Cancellation Date!

Do You Relate?

Or

Do You ... Man Skeptical

By Dark Deeds

Speculate

Unmindful

Not Caring

What Is Thy Fate?! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Settling Down With Jesus ...!!

A-form O' Godliness
Intellectual Religion
Supposed Hope
AND
Facing Ruin
Used To Be My Perfect Companions
BUT
That Was Back When My Name Was
Heart Not Cleansed!

I Used To Talk The Talk
BUT
I Didn't
Couldn't
Walk The Talk!

Pray Tell, Why Not?!

Well ... It Is Like ... Well ...

Oh ... .

He Couldn't Walk And Chew Gum!

His Walk Was A Lie!

His Talk Was All Head Space!

He Was Going To Fry!

Oh, My!

Surely, You Lie!

What He Said Was True!
I Was Going To Hell!
I Held A Season Of Life's One-Way Ticket
Until The Day
I Landed On My Butt
AND
Struck Hard
My Hard Head  -
It Was A Very Bad Day!
I Cried! I Cried!

We Can Well Imagine!

Having Always Had The Inclination
To
- With Brain Capacity -
Intensely
Everything Intellectualize
I Found Myself
Incapacitated
Barely Able
To Move More Than My Eyes!

You Had been Given Right Proper Time To Think!

Trying To Talk Hurt!
Thinking Hurt More!
My Mind Had Struck Me!
It Was Being A Gully-Bore!

My Mind Kept Hitting A Particular Grove
AND
Refused To Let Me
- In Peace -
To Have A Good Snore!

Peace?! What Peace?!

Exactly!
Of Peace I Had None!
Then
The Dear Savior Came A-Calling
AND
That Interview
Was
- Of Necessity -
Not Fun!

There Were Statements Like:

• Deal Truly With Your Own Soul!
• Be Earnest!
• Be Persistent In Prayer!
• Ask For The Renewal To A Right Spirit!
• How Long Are You Going To Keep Running Away?!

I Was In A Straight Betwixt Two!
I Was Between A Rock
AND
A Very Hard Place!

Flesh And Eyes?!

Yup ... Flesh And Eyes!
AND
Don't Forget
I Was Also Warring
With ...

 ... THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

We Know!
We've All Been There!
It's The Great Test
That All Men Must Face!

Jesus Faced It
And So Will We
And With Grace
- The Power To Face It -
We Shall Overcome
As Valiantly Did He!

I Wrestled!
I Fussed!
I Waffled!
I Cried!
Life's Things Were So Nice
AND
Shiny
AND

To Give Them Up
- THEORETICALLY -
I Thought Without Them
I Would Die!

DING, DING, DING!!

Theory vs. Practice!

12 Rounds For The Win!

Mash-up And Buy-Back
Were Ghoulishly Cheering
BUT
I Saw The Sacrificed
AND
Still Living Jesus
On My Right Wing!

Yeahhhhhhh!

The Faithful Wing Man
Is Our Lord Christ!
His Life Death Living
Tells Us That
By Obeying And Trusting God
We Will Survive The Bitter Strife!

Well ...

My Life Depended On The Win!

I Was Not Going Down
By Default!

In Wrestling With Jesus
I Had Read The Back Of The Book
So
For Life Through Self-Death
Was The Only Way For This Fight To Be Fought!

Isn't It Wonderful?!

It Is!
When You Know You Can't Lose
When You Know That Holy Blood
Earned For You
The Great Win
You Will Put Your Head
On The Life Line
Knowing That
If In Christ You Die
In Him
You Again Will Live!

That Fight Was Brutal!

Satan Threw Everything At Me ...

Sinner

Liar

Thief

Cheat

Faithless

Useless

Unclean

Unwanted By The Lamb

Unworthy

Disgraceful

Lost

Rejector Of Grace

Selfish

AND

A Few Horrible Ones More!

Tears Were Running Down My Face!
I Was Blubbering!
Then I Saw Jesus!!
Love Is In His Face
He Held Up His Hands!
Light Shone Through The Holes
AND
For New Love Of My Now Master
In His Power
Through Love Returned
I Cried:

Create In Me A Clean Heart

Oh, God

Renew A Right Spirit Within Me!

Satan Of My Life Let Go!

Then ...

I Heard My Self Saying
What I Was In My Spirit Hearing ...

Jesus, I Come!

You Promised Not To Cast Me Out!

Bless Me To Do Thy Will!

The Lord IS My Shepherd!

I Shall Not Know Want!

Father, I Cast My Cares On You

For I Know You Care For Me!

Lord, I Confess My Sin!

You Are Faithful And Just -

Forgive Me

And Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!

Lord, I'm Coming Home!

Draw Me Nearer!

Jesus,
I, My Cross Have Taken!

I Am Thine, Oh Lord!

Guide Me, Oh, Thou Great Redeemer!

No Turning Back!

Lord Jesus, Plead For Me!

Mine, Mine, Mine!

Jesus Is Mine!

Suddenly ...

I Realized
The Adversary Was

- For The Moment -

Gone!
The Accuser Of My Brethren
Had Been Vanquished
By The Word Of The Holy God On The Throne!

I Rejoiced In My Redeemer
AND, THEN
He Firmly Cautioned Me:

Be Sober! 

Be Vigilant! 

This Is Not Time For Sleep! 

Your Adversary The Devil

- As The Roaring Lion - 

Is Ever Looking

For A Straying Sheep To Eat!

Be Instant

And

Constant

Ever Be In Prayer! 

Call On Me!

Call On Me!

Call On Me!
 I - For You - Care!

Do Not Doubt! 

Do Not Be Double-Minded

And

The Devil Won't Be Able

To Put You In His Mouth!

The Holy Spirit Is Here

To Comfort Guide

Teach And Chide

And

The Holy Angels

To Influence You For Good

And

To Protect!

Call My Name

When You Petition The Father! 

Remember

I Have Paid Your Eternal Expense!

Friends,
I Do Not Say
That Since Then
Life Has Been Easy
For That Would Telling An Untruth
BUT
The Lord
My Savior Redeemer
Is
From Me
Just A Prayer Away!

Temptation Is Rife!
Deceits Flow Like Spice!
Evil Is A War Horse
BUT
I Ever See My Jesus
Branded
With The Marks Of The Cross

That Gave Me New Life!

I Am Satisfied
With My Jesus!
I Am Trusting Him
Day By Day!
I Am Determined To Arrive
At The Gates Of The City
AND
To Hear MY Beautiful Savior Say:

Welcome Home, My Child!

Welcome Home! 

Enter In!

The Feast Is Prepared!

Many Times
Satan Has Had Me On The Ropes!
Many Times
He Butt Me Like A Wild Goat! 

Many Times
Many Times
I Felt A Goat Horn In My Rear
BUT
Thank God Almighty
I Trusted In Christ Jesus!
I Obeyed What He Said
AND
I Did Not Walk In Fear!

Jesus Had Given Me
A Lil' Some'ing Some'ing
That Is Called Daily Grace

AND

Daily Faith

Plus The Good Word Of Truth
AND
Thank God For Jesus
I Threw It Often
In Old Satan's Face!

I Hold On To My Jesus
For Dear, Dear Life
AND
Come Hell And High Water
Jesus Christ IS Mine

AND
I Have In My Grasp The New Life!

I Feel Like Praising
Praising, Praising Him!

Thank You, Jesus!                                             
Glory To God In The Highest!                 
We're Fighting The Good Fight!

By God's Grace

We Shall Attain The Reward!

In The Fulness Of Time

We Shall Be Forever Shuck

Of

That Decimating Old Fraud!

Amen, Lord!
AMEN.

COMING OUT ... From Under!

There Was So Much Sorrow
In The Sight Of My Eyes ...
Dashed Hopes!
Wasted Lives!
Men Women Children
The Rich The Poor
The Have-Some
- Those Want-Not's -
Some Faithless To The Core
Some Knowing God A Little
Some Thinking Of God Not A Tot
Some Holding On To Piffles
Others Not Caring
Not Fearing
Decrying Sharing
Not Knowing
That
For Life
For Hope
For The Method With Life To Cope
Jesus Christ Marks
Hits In Us
The Spot

AND
Not Satan's Dope!

Knowing Jesus
But ... Not Enough!
Going To God Through Jesus
But ... Not Enough!
Seeking The Comfort
Of The Holy Spirit
But ... Not Enough!
Asking For The Protection
Of The Holy Angels
But ... Not Enough
Is A Sure Fire Way
For The Sin Life
To Grab You By Your Neck The Scruff
UNTIL
As A Washout To Life
You Die
Or For Mercy
To The Living God
In Desperation
You
- In Abject Fear -
Well And Truly Cry!

You're Kind Of A Doom And Gloom

With Lettuce And Tomatoes Burger, Aren't You?!

How About A Little Bitty Ray Of Sunshine?!

Doom And Gloom-
Serves A Purpose
- As Does Sunshine -
In The Life!

Doom And Gloom Warns Us
To Get Up
ANDSunshine Says:

"Look Up!"

The Creator God
- Ever Merciful -
Is The Giver
The Sustainer
Of All Life!

If You Have No Bread, Friend
A Biscuit Will Always Suffice!

If You Have No Friend In Earth
Be Assured
Your Best Friend IS
The Author Of Life!

If You Have On Earth
No Hope
Look To The Lord Christ
In Whom Is Certain Hope
The Hope For Surpassing Glory
The Key To Which
You Will Find
In The Pages Of The Old
Ever New
Good News Story!

If You Have No Clothes To Wear
Jesus Christ Offers
- Straight From The Courts Of Heaven -
The Eternity Garment
Robe Of Righteousness
COLOR: White
Accessorized With
A Handcrafted Gold Crown
- Assured To Be Jeweled -
An Overcomer's Palm
AND
A Golden Harp
For To Play
The At-Home-With-Jesus
Victory-Of-The-Redeemed-Ones' Sing-Along Song
AND

To Honor
Worship

ANDPraise
The Holy God
Through Whom

ANDBy Whom
Our Salvation Was Purchased
Before The Earth
Was Even An Atom Long!

No Shelter?!

There Is Shelter
Under The Shadow
Of The Eternal's Wings
AND

There Is Always Room
For One More!
Call His Name!
To Him Cling!
Cling
- Like A Limpet -
AND
Under No Circumstance
Provocation

Or
Satanic Manipulation

Or

Demonic Device
Should You Let Go!

Go ... To God
Who Knows All
Who All Sees
Who Has All The Answers
For Which Your Hopeless

Helpless

Hungering

Heart Is Howling

Howling Crying!

Ask The Questions
Be Ye Standing
Sitting
Lying Prostrate
Or On Your Torn Knees!
The Almighty God
Gave His All
To Save Us All
From The Life Of Sin
- The Effect Of The Fall -
AND, SO

I Appeal To Us All
Don't Do A Witch-Run
Like The Very Foolish King Saul!

Become As One Wise

AND

Your End Will Be
Victorious
For You Will
- Before The King Glorious -
In Triumph
On The Great Day Stand!

Grace And Faith!
Love And Mercy!

AND
Hope For New Life In Christ
Gets One From The Blackness Of Darkness
AND
Into The Glorious Light
Of God's Gift
Of Eternal Life

Absent Mortal Strife!

I Shall
In My Mind
Park This ...

New Life ... In Christ

Is The Best Approach

Aka The Only Way

To Get Out

From Under

Satan's Thumb

And

The Sin Life

And

To Get To The Eternal Home!

I've Got Me A Home!

The Grace Of God Is Shed Abroad!

Let No Perceived Lack

Stop You 

From Speaking The Truth

Of

The Gospel Of God's Everlasting Love!

Judge Samson And The SIF + PRAYER: I Am Your Servant, Lord!

True Greatness

Is Controlling  Personal Passions

And

Not Letting Passions

And

Defects In The Character

Control The Will!

*********

Sampson Betrayed His God
AND
Himself
By Having No Self Control!
His Integrity Was Betrayed By
"She Pleaseth Me Well!"
AND
Thereby
His Inability
To Utter A Firm "No!"
In The Face Of Strong Temptation
AND
The Urge Toward Raging Sin
Was Undeniably 
Stripped Away!

Where Was His SIF?!

MIA!
AWOL!
Absconded!
Done Run Away!

Yup!

What Is SIF?!

S. I. F.  Is
Self-control
Integrity
AND
Firmness!

Sense Lacked
Sensibility!
His Secret To Strength Was Under Attack
AND
The Desire Of His Flesh
Unchecked
- A Stumbling Block -
Ushered Samson
Into The Hand Of Satan
Who Didn't Fear
His Clear Weakness
To Hijack!

Master Your PASSIONS!

Master Your SELF!

And

Master Your MIND

By Being To Almighty God

Devotedly INCLINED!

God Gives Unto Us
The Secret Of Our Success
- Hold On To Your S. I. F -
It's Your Master Control!

Let The Lord Lead You
AND
Holy Angels Will Defend
AND
Don't Be Overcome
By Taste Buds
That Caused
The Ultimate Destruction
AND
Death
Of The Strongest Of Strong Men!

God Bears With Men Long
Issuing Calls To Repentance
BUT
Continuing Descents
Into Known Corruptions
Will Ultimately Lead Us
To A Decimating Volcanic Eruption
Which
If We Are Not Completely Abandoned
To Self And To Sin
Will Lead Us
To True Self Discovery
AND
Confession
AND
Repentance
AND
Asking The Living God
For Mercy's Help
AND
Grace's Full Restitution!

Master Your PASSIONS!

Master Your MIND!

Live In God's LIGHT

And

Leave The Urge To Sin BEHIND!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Am Your Servant

And

Keep Me Willing

Is My Heart's Honest Prayer!

Let My Work Be The Work

You Desire From Me

And

Help Me To Be Joyful

In The Doing

Doing It All Quite Gladly!

I Pray, Lord

To Be A Co-worker

A Co-worker With Thee

Advancing The Work

Of

The Lord's Coming Kingdom

Pointing Souls Unto Thee!

Please Fix The Defects In My Character

Fashioning For Me A Garment Of Praise

Granting Me The Victory

Over Untoward Passions

So That I May Rejoice

In The Glory Days!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name I Make My Plea!

 AMEN.
