HAPPY SABBATH + Read The Word With Wisdom And Understanding!

Beloved, 

We Have To Dare And Choose To Read The Living Word

With Wisdom And Understanding 

So That The Knowledge Which We Receive Will Bless Us

And 

By Our Desire To Serve Our Lord With Love And Faithfulness

Bless Others! 

How Often Have We Read The Words Of John 12:26

And 

Have Only Accepted Two Things: 

"If Any Man Serve Me

... He Will Be With Me 

... Him Will My Father Honor!?!" 

How Often Have We Ignored The Fact That 

We Are The Lord's Servants 

And

We Are To Follow Him Where He Leads

And 

As He Leads!?! 

The City Of God Whereto We Are Being Led

Is 

Also The City Of Life, Love, Gold, Beauty, Abundance

And 

The Craved Joy And Perpetual Peace! 

Why Then, Dear Ones

If We Have Jesus Who Is Our Everything

Who Will Give To Us All Things

Are We Choosing To Follow The Famous, Fabulous

And 

Known-Foolish Greedy Ministers Of 

The Other Gospel Of Another Jesus 

Who Preach Unrestricted Prosperity Now

Ungodly Power Here

And 

Unrestrained Passion Anyhow!?! 

Let's Choose To Learn From The Lesson Of 

The Rich Young Ruler 

Who Turned Away From The Eternity Of Bliss 

To, Instead, Love-Up His Money-Bags 

And

Despise His Brethren Of The Poor-Man Class 

Whose Care By Him, In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Would Have Blessed Him For All Eternity! 

Let's Not Get Ahead Of Ourselves 

Or Be Beside Ourselves! 

We Need Our Lord Jesus 

To Get To The Father 

To Be Honored By The Father! 

Self-Serving Is Satanic! 

The Sure Pay-Day 

Comes After The Honest Work-Day! 

Let's Humbly Follow Our Jesus ... In Love! 

Peace!

Appearances Reveal A Lot!

 

If Your Bird, Your Cat, And Your Dog All Bark 

Which One Is The Real Guard Dog!?!

Nature Wins Out! 

Think About This ...

If Your Church Pastor Is A Noted Bass-Man 

Who Is Suddenly Singing Soprano

And Is A Man At The Church 

And The Lady Of The House Called Home

A Day Trader 

And A Night Walker 

And

Preaches The Most Riveting Sermons Of Truth 

About Another Jesus And Another Gospel

Is He Still The Anointed, Appointed

True, Faithful, Servant Of The Holy God!?! 

Dear Lord!

Even On Paper, This Looks Evil!

Who Is He!?! 

Who Are We!?!

 

What Are We All Saying And Doing!?! 

Are We All Alright With Our Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

Goods Come In Various Sizes, Colors, Packages

Prices

And 

For All Tastes! 

Some Are Good And Delicious! 

Some Smell Sweet But Are Deadly! 

Some Taste Horrid And Are Healthful! 

The Good And Healthful Come In Simple Colors 

And 

Plain Packaging

And 

The Sweet And Deadly Are Delightfully Packaged 

To Overload The Senses! 

How, Then, Does One Shun All Evil 

When Good For You Ain't Appealing To You!?! 

Work Your Gift Of Faith ...

Choose To Trust The Word Of The Lord

Follow The Great Example Aka Jesus Christ

And 

Don't Ever Forget That Good, Right, Truth, Light

Love, Joy, Hope, Peace

And 

Blessing Have No Need Of Added Color

A Run Through The Spin Cycle

The Tender Devotions Of The Polish Brush Or Cloth

Or A Whiff Of The Perfume Called Purity! 

All The Gifts Of God Are Good 

And

A Million Years From Their First Appearance 

They Will Still Look, Smell, Taste

Feel, Speak

And 

Definitely Do As Ordered By The Creator God! 

Inside And Outside

Are The Same Thing!

Goodness Doesn't Need To Glory

Change Its Nature

Speak Itself Into Relevance

Or Be Fashionable 

To Fit In To Execute Its Mission! 

Our Good Lord Jesus 

Is 

The Same Real Savior 

Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

There Is No Evil In Our Blessed-Forever Jesus: 

Embrace Him

And

Trust His Heart! 

Peace!

If Something Has The Look Of Evil

Don't Make Jokes

And

Call It A Masquerade Costume!

**--**--**--**--** 

A Washed Sow Is Still A Pig

And

A Pig In Pearls

Can Still Tear You Apart!

 

PRAYER: Father, I Am Approaching The Throne Of Grace Boldly!

Father,

You Have Told Me 
And You Constantly Tell Me You Love Me
That You Take Care Of Your Own
That You Will Bless And Keep Me
That I Do Not Walk Alone:
My Heart Is Grateful
And With Humility, I Thank You!

I Give You Praise!  

You Have Told Me That
I May Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
That I May Find Help
In My Time Of Need:
Help Me To Not Be An Ingrate!

You're My Help, My Only Hope
So It Is Certain That 
That Lying Other I Do Not Need!

I Worship You, Lord!  

Father,
With A Repentant Sinner's Love
For Having Been Forgiven Of Much
I Ask You A Favor:

Please Help Me To Take Care Of Myself
By Learning To And Leaning Upon You
And Looking Always To You
You Alone
In The Big, The Small
The Happy, The Sad
The Trial, The Tempest
The Test Of Faith
The Call To Grace
The Need For Mercy
The Way Out Of Known Sin
So That Your Holy Name
I Do Not Disgrace!

I Need You!  

Please Help Me, Dear Father
To Never, Ever,
By Thought, Word Or Deed
To Indulge In the Sin Of Presumption!
Help Me Never To Test Your Love
By Indulging In Unbiblical Behavior
In The Hope That Unbelievers, Doubters
The Gainsayers
May Come To See That You Are Real
That Your Word Is True!

You Living Word Is Sufficient For Me!  

Father,
I Have Taken And Am Choosing
To Operate From The Position That
You Are Almighty God
Jesus Christ Is The Word
My Savior, Redeemer
Hope, Help, Provider
And
My Only Source Of Soul Salvation
And
Is My Creator
And 
The Creator Of Heaven And Earth
Who Deserves My Worship
My Prayers, My Praise
My Willing Obedience
My Love And Complete Devotion!

He Gave His Innocent Life To Save Guilty Me!
 
I Choose To Believe
By The Spirit Of Truth
That Christ Is The Welcoming King To The Saved
The Repentant Sinner
And
The Frowning Judge Of The Sinner
Unmoved By Your Sacrificial Love!

Please Open Their Eyes So That They May 
Catch A Glimpse Of Christ In His Glory

While It Is Still Today!  

I Willingly And With A Contrite Heart
Acknowledge That But For Your Great Grace
I, Too, Would Be Amongst The Perishing
The Lost To The Eternal Living Kingdom!

Thank You For Your Sacrificial Love!  

Father,
I Desire Wisdom
The Real Knowledge That 
Leads To True Understanding
That Will Separate Me From Becoming
A Friend To The World
And Turn Into Your Enemy!

I Am A Child Of The Dust: 
Please Make Me To Be Like You!
 
You Have Breathed Into My Nostrils
The Breath Of Life
And I Desire Also To Receive
In The Day Of Appointment
The Dew Of Eternal Life
So That I May Serve You For All Eternity!
I Can't Even Imagine
The Thousand Years Of Peace
Which, In Your Reckoning, Is But A Day
Far Less The Expanse Of Eternity With You!
I Desire To Be There!

Father,
The Living Word Speaks Of
The Falling Away ... First
Before The Man Of Sin
The Son Of Perdition Is Revealed:
Many Stalwarts Of The Faith, Lord
Are Turned Away From The Truth That Saves
And Are Accepting The Lies Of
The Adversary Of The Soul
And Are Becoming Children Of The Night
Doing Things Inconvenient, Abominable
Unholy, Unclean!
Have Mercy Upon Them
Even Though They Say That 
They Know What They Are Doing!

I Pray For Each And Every One Of Them
And Other Likeminded, Unsettled, Wanderers
To Receive Clean And Clear Eyesight
Unstopped No Longer Itching Ears
The Heart Of Flesh
A Clean Tongue
And, Indeed
Feet Well-Shod With Truth
Having Accepted The Word That Brings Light
So That They May Speak Truth
In Righteousness!
Thy Word Is Light And Life! 

Father,
Some Of The Ministers
Have Gone So Far Left
That They Are Holding Goodbye Services
For Those Who Are Choosing
Their Own Departing-Life Day
Because Their So-Called Quality Of Life 
Is Not In Keeping With Their Carnal Desire
For Self-Pleasing, Personal, Ageless Comfort!

The Ministers Are Encouraging Them
To Believe That They Will Go Immediately
To Heaven To Be With The Lord Christ!
They Say They Love You, Lord
But They Wittingly Doubt Your Holy Word!
Have Mercy, Please!

Help Them To Repent For Preaching Another Jesus

Another Gospel

So That They Will Walk The Strait And Narrow Way

And Speak Truth In Righteousness
To Bless Your People! 

I See Our Need For Your Saving Grace

And Repent Of Our Known Sins Against You

The Holy God

And Humbly Ask You To Forgive Us, Father

And Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness! 

I Come Boldly

As We Are All Called To Present Ourselves

At The Throne Of Grace

And Present These Few Petitions

In The Only Name By Which We Are Saved

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Let You Spirit Fall Upon Us

And The Holy Angels Protect Us! 
Please Come Soon!

AMEN!
