AMAZING WORDS: Who Can You Turn On!?!

Words Are Amazing! 

Look At This ...

Who Can You Turn On!?! 

This Sentence Has Multiple Meanings 

And

Depending On Context, Occasion, Or Association

We Will Know How To Behave! 

Let's Set Aside The Sensual 

And 

Look At The Anger Caused By Betrayal! 

What Is Your Response When You Feel Betrayed!?! 

Is Your Response Christian Or Criminal!?! 

Moving Along Briskly, Please Consider 

Who Can You Turn On ... To The Lord Jesus, Our Savior And King!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Have You Considered That The Lord God Almighty

In The Person Of Our Blessed Jesus Christ 

Is 

Worthy Of Our Excited Proclamation Of His Goodness And Grace 

Because 

He ... Being Love And Light

Only Ever Commands Us To Do What Is Right 

And

Always Ever Makes Promises To Us Of What Is True!?! 

Do You Know That Doubting And Distrusting The Lord 

Is 

Unbelief And Disobedience!?! 

Since The Lord Is True ... And The Truth

And 

His Word Is The Truth

Our Having The Double-Mindedness Of The Doubter 

Who Is Unstable In All His Ways 

Is 

Causing Us To Tread On Dangerous Ground 

And

We Are Become As Satan

As Adversaries Of The Living Holy God

As Betrayers Of Truth And Righteousness! 

In This View, We Are As Deceitful Bows

Which Look Right And Pull Left! 

Words Are Amazingly Powerful! 

How Are You Using Your Words!?! 

Who Benefits When Your Mouth Opens And A Story Jumps Out!?! 

Words Work And Words War! 

Please War Against Sin 

And 

Work As An Ambassador For Christ Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Be Angry ... And Sin Not!

Imagine What Uncontrolled Anger Can Do! 

In A New Pregnancy

It Can Cause Spontaneous Expulsion Of The Fetus! 

The Anger Caused By Strife-Makers 

Can Cause The Offended Party To Strike A Blow That 

Can Maim Or Kill Another! 

The Anger That Wafts Off Those Who Would Make Men Slaves 

- To Their Various Lusts - 

When Their Plans Are Thwarted 

Can Lead To Murder! 

The Anger Of Those Who Would Force Others 

To Think, Believe

And 

Act As Their "Betters" Have Commanded 

Is 

Demonic In Its Rancor, Rage, And Range! 

Beloved, 

The Bible Tells Us To Be Angry ... And Sin Not 

Because 

We Can Get Angry ... And Sin 

Which Opens Us Up To All Kinds Of Problems 

Which We Would Do Well To Avoid! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Call King Saul A Fool 

Because 

He Somehow Believed He Could Control The Hand Of God! 

King Saul Wanted To Kill 

The Ordained, Appointed, And Anointed Future King, David

And 

When He Could Not

He Killed Eighty-Five Of The Eighty-Six Priests Of God At Nob! 

King Saul Added Sin Upon Sin 

By Hob-Nobbing With The Witch At Endor 

And 

At The End Of His Time On Earth

He Committed Self-Murder Aka Suicide! 

Let Us Be Wise To Recognize That

As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Christ

We Should Let The Lord Fight Our Battles 

Instead Of Going Into Murderous Rages! 

We Should Be Angry Enough To Not Indulge In Wrong-Doing 

And 

Should Instead Get Angry And Rage Against Sin And Sinning! 

Don't Be Hasty To Get Angry! 

Self-Control Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit: 

Exercise It 

Or 

Ask The Lord For His Indwelling Spirit 

To Help You To Walk Rightly, Wisely, In The Light Of Life! 

Peace! 

The Answer To All Our Questionings!

How Wise Are You!?! 

How Foolish Can You Get!?! 

How Calm Are You!?! 

How Angry Can You Get!?! 

Are You A Serpent!?! 

Will You Be A Dove!?! 

Are You Listening To The Holy Spirit!?! 

Will You Ascend To The Courts Above!?! 

Are You, By Faith, With Hope

Yielding To The King Of Love!?! 

Beloved, 

There's An Old Song With A Lyric Which Says: 

"There Are More Questions Than Answers!" 

I Beg To Differ Because I Met A Man

The God-Man

The Man Of Sorrows Well Acquainted With Grief

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Only Way To Life Everlasting

The Light Of The World

The Savior Of Every Man

Water Indeed

Bread Indeed

Immanuel - God With Us

Shiloh - The Prince Of Peace

The Truth! 

Are You A Peace-Maker 

Or A Strife-Maker!?! 

Are You A War-Monger Against Sin 

Or Warring Against The Truth!? 

Dear Ones, 

Anyone With Questions, Honest Questions

Who Does Not Despise The Truth 

Aka King Jesus With The Non-Detachable Handle 

"The Lord Of Earth And Glory

The Creator

Our Only Savior

Our Redeemer And One True Friend

The Law-Giver And Life-Sustainer Who Bids Us To Come To Him 

So That We Many Reason Together

The True And Only Holy God 

By Whom We Live And Breathe And Have Our Being

The One Who Liberally Gives Wisdom 

And Will Not Chastise Us Who Lack Wisdom 

For Asking For Wisdom

Is

The Answer To All Our Questioning! 

Beloved, 

Believe The Gospel

And 

Be Very Courageous In The Face Of Opposition 

And

Do Not Despise The Truth For He, Jesus Christ 

Aka It,  The Road-Map

Is

The Only Way To Live

The Only Way To Everlasting Life! 

Despise The Truth ... Which Is Good

At Your Own Peril! 

Peace!

Don't Let Satan Piss In Your Pot!

Anger!

Is Anger Eating You 

And 

Is It Causing You To Want To Eat Somebody 

Raw ... Without Salt!?! 

Our Lord Commands Us To Be Angry 

And Not Sin 

Because 

We Are Quite Capable Of Getting Angry 

And

Boldly Sinning 

Without Regard For Either The Cause Of Our Anger

Our Heart's Condition

Or The Real Consequences Of 

Unrestrained, Runaway, Anger! 

Beloved, 

The Statement Has Been Uttered 

When People Have Become Angered That 

"The Blood Rushed Into My Head And I Saw Red!

Others Have Said, After The Fact, That 

"I Lost My Head!" 

Heads Up, People! 

Satan Found It! 

Some People Have Spoken Of Raging Anger As 

"The Devil Pissing In Their Pot And Them Wanting Blood!" 

Still Others Speak About Not Getting Mad 

But 

Getting Even! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Loves, Loves, Loves This Kind Of Language: 

The Lord Of Life Does Not! 

Let Us Remember That 

Misunderstandings Over Mistakes 

Make Minor Matters Major

And

Man Miserable! 

Think Before You Talk! 

Use Wisdom Before You Walk! 

Apologize Before You Antagonize! 

And 

Pray Before You Prey On Someone 

Or Become Someone's Prey! 

A Moment With Jesus Christ 

Always Saves Your Sanity 

And 

Your Day! 

Peace!

  

TEARS TO CLEANSE: Laughter To Heal!

Two Of Our Gifts Are Simple Ones: 

Tears ... To Cleanse 

And

Laughter ... To Heal! 

Why, Then, Are So Many Of Us Stressed Beyond Measure 

And

Stressing Out Others Beyond Reason!?! 

Why Are We So All-Fired Concerned 

About Who Should Or Could See Us Crying!?! 

Don't You Know That Laughter 

Won't Cause Your Face To Crack!?! 

Look At A Baby! 

It Is All Angry 

And 

In A Snap It Is Bawling Its Head Off! 

Mummy Or Daddy Holds Him Close

Utters Soothing Words Of Comfort 

And Soon

It Is Either Laughing Its Head Off For Joy 

Or Sleeping Peacefully 

Unbothered By The Past Upset! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Of Love, Our Jesus, Does That For Us 

So Let Us Cry Unto Him 

And 

By The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit's Working

Let Us Rest Having Been Refreshed! 

The Gifts Given

Are A Blessing ... Never A Curse

And

We ... Being Grateful

Should Freely Imbibe

As One Suffering A Great, Even Consuming, Thirst!

Let Us Laugh As We See Butterflies Dancing

Dust Bunnies Spinning

Leaves Waving

And 

Even As We Hear The Beating Of Our Own Hearts 

Telling The Story That 

We Still Have The Breath Of Life From Our God 

Which Makes Us Each One A Living Soul 

Able To Use The Daily Gift Of Faith 

Which Causes Us To Press On

Despite The Challenges

To The Great And Glorious Day That Heralds Peace! 

Our Lord Hears And Cares For Us! 

Let's Care For Ourselves 

By Using The Gifts Graciously Given With Gusto! 

Cry, Laugh

And 

Pray A Lot!

Don't Fall For The Devil's Dangerously Deceitful Dainties!

Wherever Deceit Is Practiced
Rest Assured That There Is Confusion
And 
Anger And Hatred 
And Often
Bloodshed! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Heavenly Father 
And 
We Are To Live In Peace With All Men ... Where Possible! 

A Liar Is A Deceiver 
And 
Deception 
Is 
A Favored Child Of Satan! 
Satan's Machinations, Manipulations, Lies 
And 
Deceits 
Caused War In Heaven
Cost One-Third Of The Heavenly Their High Estate
Caused Eve And Adam To Sin
Caused Death And Decay To Arise Amongst Men
And 
Caused The Death Of The Lord Christ! 

We, Today, Are Participants 
In The Continued Outworking Of Deception In High Places 
By Satan, The Prince Of The Power Of The Air: 
Don't Fall For His Devilish Dainties! 

Activate The Heavenly Intelligences ...

Please Let Your Prayers
For Power, Preservation 
And 
Provision 
Go Up To The Throne Of Grace Continually ... Unfailingly 
Because 
We Have The Prayer-Answering God Of Sufficient Grace 
For Our Ever-Present Help! 

Faithful, Fervent, Praying

Changes Perspectives

People

And

Positions

And

Provides Perfect Peace!

"Incline Thine Ear To Us And Grant Us Thy Peace!" 
Is 
Often Reverently Sung: 
Let Us Sing It 
And
Live As Though We Truly Believe It! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Just, Faithful, Good, Kind And Ever True: 
He Will Not 
And 
Cannot Deceive You! 
Pray On And Enjoy True Peace!

Deceit Is A Lying Destroyer

From

The Liar-Destroyer

Who Will Be Destroyed

By The Truth Of The Great Creator!

**--**--**--**--**

 Intimately Know The Truth

That Comes Of

The Living, Holy, God

And

You Will Never Fall For The Deceits

Of

Satan

The Damned-For-Eternity God-Fraud!

DEVILISH ANGER : Jesus' Peace!

The Love Of God
Gives Us Peace
BUT
The Wrath Of Satan
Ignites Our Anger
AND
Because The Two
In Harmony
Cannot Exist
The Life Of The Conflicted Soul
Is Anything But Bliss!

Jesus The Christ
Promised To Give Us Peace
That Passes Human Understanding
AND
That Is Because
Human Peace Comes At The Cost
Of A Pill
A Perversion
A Practice
An Excursion
AND
Still The Poor Buyer
Longs For Peace
That Only Comes
From The Lord
Not That Vile Devilish
Parasitic Beast!

Peace For Man
Was Purchased By Innocent Blood
AND
Is Available
For Free
Just By Asking
AND NEVER
Never Gotten
By In Sin Basking!

Jesus' Peace Pervades Pleasantly
The Soul
BUT
Satan-Inspired Anger 
Aggressively Antagonizes The Soul
Placing Partitions
Against Truth And Right
AND
Does The Unwary Soul
Into Conflagration Ignite!

You Should Know That ...

Righteous Anger
Is A Passion With A Purpose
Ignited Against Sin
AND
Not Against An Animal
Or A Man
Who In The Field
Patiently Works For Us
Just To Make A Sparse Living!

Be Not As Balaam
Against The Donkey
Nor As Moses Inadvisedly
Striking The To-Be-Spoken-To Rock
Nor As Herod The Great One
Killing Babies
To Protect A Crown
That By Sin He Had Attached!

The Peace Of God
In The Son Of God
Stymied Satan's Attempts
To Get The Christ
To Indulge In Anger
To Commit Sin
AND
All Who Will Be Followers
Of The Father Of Lights
Need To Give In To The Holy Spirit
So That The Pulsations Of Anger
Do Not Cause Us
Like Cain
Like Satan
Like Esau
To Be Cast Out
Into The Dark Dark Night!

Anger Is Bitter!
Peace Is Sweet!

Anger Is A Hot Rocket Propelled Often
By Cruel Hate's Heat

BUT ...

Peace Is A Soft Breeze
Smelling Of Love Holy
True
Deep
Ever Present
Never Late
So
Let Peace ... Free Peace
Be Yours
Before The Lord Christ Closes 
Mercy's Now Open Gate!

Instead Of Grappling With Hate

On Your Shredded Knees

Turn To Jesus Christ's Light

AND

Receive Jesus Christ's Peace

AND

Walk

- Feet Shod -

With The Lord!

You'll Attend The Welcome Feast!

WORDS: Weight

Words Have Weight!

Careless Words Weigh Heavy

AND

They Can Send A Person

Into A Troubled State!

How Much Weight Do Your Words Carry?

To Hear The Back-And-Forth
You Would Not Believe
That They Were Friends:

You Are Nothing But
An If But And An And!

You're Nothing More Than
A Therefore What For And A Question Mark!

You Are Unkind!
You Are Hateful!

You Make Me See Red!
You're A Technicolor Excuse Masquerading As White!

That Was Not Very Nice!
Neither Are You!

Excuse Me!
Don't You Know
That Unkind Words
Hidden Behind Your Shirt 
Hurt
When In Anger
You Open Your Mouth
AND
Do Them Blurt!

Be Angry
AND
Sin Not!
Let Not The Sun Go Down On Your Wrath!
Stop!
Think!
Turn Away!
Isn't There Something Better
That
In Kindness
You Can To Your Adversary Say?

Today!?
Today!

Let's Start Over!

God Loves You
And So Do I!
Let Us Be Friends!

I Am Willing To Try!
I Am Going The Extra Mile!

I'll Always Speak The Truth!
I'll Always Speak The Truth In Love!

I'll Extend A Helping Hand!
My Hand Offers The Touch Of The Household Of Faith!

I Walked A Mile!
I'll Walk A Mile In Your Shoes!

I Shall Pray!
I Shall Pray For Rain!

Hold Up!
Why Are You Praying For Rain?!
There Is No Drought!

I Am Praying For Showers Of Blessing
From The God Of Heaven Above!
I Am Praying That The Lord Will Bless Us
To Speak To Each Other With Love!
Words Have No Scale-Weight
BUT
Ugly Unkind Words Kill!
I Am Praying 
For Words Edifying
That Will A Yearning Soul
Fill!

Words Cause Wars 
AND
Much Strife!
AND
The Little Red Rag
That Forms Them
Gets Lit From The Devil In Hell
AND
Is The Match-Light
That Starts The Conflagration
That Will
Friends
Family
Nations
AND
Congregations
Benight!

Word!

Wordssss!
Remember The Snake!

I Love You!
I Love You More!

But ...

He Who Made Us
Loves Us Best!
So
Let Us Strive To Be
To Do Better
So That In Him
We Shall All Be Gloriously Blessed!

Yes! Yes, Indeed!

We Should Bless God
With The Fruit Of Our Mouths
AND
Curse The Devil
By Being Kind One To Another!

Let Your Words Go North

And

Not South!

Let Your Words Lift Up

And

Not Cast Down!

Let Your Words Speak Peace

And

Not Propagate Hate

For

Your Own Words 

Will Be Your Judge

When The King Comes

Through The Gate!

The Next Day ...

Hey, Child Of God!
Hello, Beloved Of The Father!

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage

Marston looked at the rising sun and saw

Another challenge waiting to victimize!

Marcelle looked at the same rising sun and saw

Another blessing – oh praise Him who supplies!

Marston looked at the mirror and there he saw

Miserable weariness on the face of years!

Marcelle looked in the same mirror and saw

Happy tiredness on a face with no fears!

Marston looked at the old horse and saw

Just another drain upon their oft' meager supplies!

Marcelle looked at the same old horse and saw

A faithful laborer who never gave a surprise!

He looked at Her and She looked at Him

Each looked at the other, and saw deep within

He saw the peace that she held most dear

She saw anger, bitterness, and much despair!

They both spoke at the same time!

Both wanted to be heard!

She said: “You go first!”

He said: “Don't be absurd!”

This, my friends, is how it is

When unequally yolked two partners be

She says: “It is an 'A!'” He says: “Oh, you mean 'Z!'”

And so, Dear Ones, they can never agree!

Darkness and Light, Blackness and White

She means By Faith, He means By Sight

She holds her Bible dear, He won't ever come near

He won't go to Bible Class, They are ever at an impasse!

For many years, Marcelle faithfully prayed ... to God!

For many years, Marston faithfully played ... the Fraud

Until one fateful day not too long past

He came very near to breathing his last!

And so it was that perspectives aligned

She asked to pray for him, and he ever so quickly replied:

"Dear Wife, I am sorry for all that I've done and been!

Pray to your Jesus! I need to be made clean!”

So after years of pleading and praying for him

Marcelle prayed to The Dear Lord, and asked Him to draw nigh

To her beloved husband along life's journey e'er long

And thanked the Almighty for His love so kind and true

For keeping this Dear One so that he, too

Could be welcomed into the Household of Faith

As he had now forsaken what was his great disgrace!

“Oh clean him, Lord bless him, as he walks the narrow way

And by Your Grace, Father, we'll see You faith to Face!” **BJC**
