DUD and FOB!

D oubt!
U nbelief!
D isobedience!
The Unholy Triumvirate
Are Poised
Dressed 

Positioned
AND
Practiced Past-Masters
At Sending The Seeking Sinner Man
To The Not-Necessary Fate!

F aith!
O bedience!
B elief! 
The Holy Triumvirate
Stand Pristine

Alert
Urging Mankind
To Take The Path Of The Truly Blessed
For Known Godly Success!

DUD And FOB 

Are 

Two Three-Legged Stools
Two Paths

AND
Two Thought Schools

With
One Successfully Leading The Unrepentant Sinner 

To Damnation

AND
One Successfully Leading The Repentant Sinner 

To Salvation!

One Is Led By The Holy!
One Is Driven By The Profane!
One Lifts Up The Fallen!
One Ties The Fallen With Chains!

One Blinds The Eye To Truth!
One Lightens The Eye Through Truth!
One Runs Wild

AND
One Stands From Sin Aloof!

Look And See ...

Two Three-Legged Stools
Two Deliberate Sitters-Down
One Sits And Falls
AND
In His Own Filth He Crawls! 

The Other One Sits ... Having Believed Trust's Call
AND
Is Succored
By The Maker Of Us All
The Creator Of The Blue Ball
AND
Is Renewed Day By Day
Urged On By The Holy 

No More With Sin To Play!

Behold Two Three-Legged Stools

ABND

Observe That One Two-Legged Man
Standing Betwixt Two Thoughts
In The One Valley Of Decision
Listening
Because He Hears
Thinking
Because He Has Real Fears
AND WATCH
As He Deliberately Makes His Choice
Because He Harkens To The One True-To-Him Voice!

    Which Voice?!
                          Which Voice?!            
Is It DUD?!                                     Was It FOB?!

He Chose The Choice
Where His Freight Is Off-Boarded
Where
Doubt Unbelief Disobedience
Are Egregiously Expelled
AND
The Still Viable Expressive Faith Of The Fathers
Is Wittingly Willfully
Wisely Expressed
Not To Impress Doubting Shouters
But So That The Soul

Is By The Holy God
Blessed!

But ... What Of The Other ...

The Other
That DUD
Was Steamrollered
By The Bold Beelzebub
Who Takes Pleasure
In Acts Of Unrighteousness
Who Encourages Hard-hearted Men
Against The Living God
To Be Continuing-Sinners

With
Love-Of-God Cold
Waivering ... Ever Waivering
Like A Wave Of The Sea Tossed
Until
Until Time Runs Out

Because
The Cup Of Iniquity Is Filled Up
AND
The Soul ... Most Precious
Is
For Eternity ... Lost
Because
- Unlike The Convicted Converted Thief -
He Did Not Trust 

The Evidence Of The Lamb Of God
On Calvary's Cross!

I Choose To Be A FOB 

In The Not-A-Pocket

Of

The Eternal God!

How Now Choose You?

My God Can!

My Life-Guard Walks On Water!

My God Breaks Water Out Of SRock!

My Lord Is The Rock Of My Salvation

AND

My Salvation Is Of Jesus Christ

The One Called The Solid Rock!

My Rock Is My Refuge!

My Refuge Is My God!

My God Is Eternal

AND

Eternally The Same

For Which I Am Thankful

For

I Know That He Is Not The God Lame!

My God Is The Same

Yesterday

Today

AND

Forever

AND

Forever

Is Where

I Shall - With Him - Spend

That Which Cannot Be Called Time!

It's Called Eternity!

Eternity Knows Not Time

AND

In The Realm Of Sin

Time Is A Constantly Decreasing Line

AND

Is Not Mine

To Extend

Hold

Or

To Stop

So

I Lift Mine Eyes Unto The Hills

Knowing Full Well

That My God Is Divine

AND

In Him

Through Him

Eternity Will Be Mine!

I Shall Cross

The Separating Line!

Human Life

Is Often By Mere Men Called

A Divine Tragedy

BUT

I ... A Christ Follower

Led By The Spirit Of God

Know ... Of A Surety

That All Divinity Dwells

Within The Holy Eternal

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

Soon Returning God

AND NOT

Satan aka Beelzebub

That Facing Feisty Benighting Old Fraud!

My God

Is

The Shepherd

Leading Sheep That Speak

Of Him Who Died

To Give Us Eternal Life Bona Fide!

The Lord Wept

AND

In The Grave He Slept

BUT

That Grave Could Not Him Have Kept

AND

He Is Coming Again

To Claim Those Who

His Holy Law

Have Faithfully Kept!

Almighty God Is ... The Strength Of My Life!

Almighty God Is ... Faithful, Just And True!

AND

Almighty God Is ... Calling Out To Me

 AND

To You!

Our Almighty God Is Living

Gracious

Giving

Loving

AND

Those Who Trust In Him

Will

In The Fullness Of Time ... See

Unimaginable

Unanticipated

Unexpected

Unbelievable

Holy

Exciting

Real, Real, Living

From Him Who Is The Truth

AND

Oh, So Forgiving!

Bow To Him And See!

In The Past

My God Set A Table In The Desert

AND

Washed The Desert Sands

With His Dew

AND

Rained Down Angel Bread

For Strength-Giving

Good Food!

Today

He Prepares A Table

For Me

In The Presence Of My Enemies

AND

Tomorrow

If We - You, Too - Have

His Holy Word Trusted

AND

Believed

He Will Set A Place

Just For Us

At His Welcome Table

In His Father's House

Where We Will Never Want To Leave!

My God Can Do

AND

Will Do All

For Those Who Trust In His Word!

Trust Him!

He Cannot Fail!

Why Pay For Death By Doing Sin!? + PRAYER: Lord, You Know Our Hearts!

Why Pay For Death By Doing Sin
When We Can Get Salvation
Through Practicing Obedience For Free?!

Why Follow Satan
That Dead "Man" Walking
When We Can Follow Jesus Christ
The King
AND
Go Through Eternity Fair 
Walking Talking
AND
Rejoicing?!

Oh, Man, Why?
Why Wander The Vain Way
When
By Following Jesus
You May Benefit On The Glorious Way?

Why Be Presumptuous
When
By Walking Before God Humbly
You May Spend With God
Eternity
Bereft Of Ever Knowing
Another Man-Made Calamity?!

Why Listen To The Man-god
When The God-Man
- Faithful -
- Holy -
- Kind -
- True -
Is Ever By Your Side
Willing 
- In You - 
To Forevermore Abide?!

Why Listen To Bold Lies
When Simple Truths
Are So Easily Verified?

Do You Not Realize
That You Have An Open Invitation
- Cast In Blood -
- Written In Blood -
- Preserved In Living Blood -
To Reason With Almighty God
Which Accepted Invitation 
Leads To The Everlasting Home
In The Glorious Land?!

So ...

STOP!
         PRAY!
                  THINK!
                             PRAY!
                                      TEST THAT SPIRIT!
                                                                   AND
                                                                          PRAY!
Before You Lean In
To Imbibe That "Free" Drink
For This Is The Only Way
By Which Faithful Believers Can
Beelzebub Circumvent!

Stop!
And
Think!
And
Pray, I Say!
For
Prayer Changes Things!
All Things!
Every Single Day!

So ... 

Don't Be A Casualty
AND
Have To Pay!
Be An Overcomer
Because You
PRAY!

There Is Victory Over Sin

In Jesus Christ

The Conquering King!

Satan Does Not Want You

To Overcome

And

Prosper

And

Eternally Live

And

Reign

With The Conquering King

So That Is Why

He Is Speaking

Alternative Truths

And 

Thereby 

You Waylaying!

UcUcUcUcUcUcUcU

PRAYER:

Lord,

I Honestly Acknowledge 

That

Satan Is The Liar

And

The Father Of Lies

And

I Beseech You, Please

To Protect Your People

- Even Me -

From That Cruel Lord Of The Dung Flies!

Please Rid Us Of Dark Thoughts!

Please Shield Us

From Participating

In Dark, Vile And Pestilential Deeds

And

Keep Us, Lord

In Your Holy Care

Even When We Are Unable

To So Much As Bend Our Knees

As We

In Jesus Christ's Name

Say Our Pitiful Prayers!

Oh, Lord, In Faith

We In You, Do Believe!

You Who Know Our Hearts

You Who Remembers That

We Are But Dust

Have Mercy Upon Us

For

In The Name Of The Righteous One, We Plead!

Bless Us

For We Truly Love You, Lord

Come Soon! We Are Begging, Please!

AMEN.

Peace AND Security?! + PRAYER: Father, I Expect To See My Jesus!

Worldwide Widespread Discontent
Gross Greed
Individual And State-Sponsored Violence
Universal Justified Distrust Of 
Financial
Spiritual And Political Leaders
AND
Spiritual Apathy
Are Eating Out The Hearts Of  All The Nations
AND
People Are Harkening To The Call
Of Peace
AND
Security
For All
Not Realizing
That Everything That Is Happening
Is Motivated
By The Wily Beelzebub
The Founder Of Man's Great Fall!
It's A Bait AND Switch Pitch!

The Nations Are Uniting
Under One Government
Just As They Were United
At The Time Of The Advent Called First!
AND
They Are Speaking The Same Language
- Climate Change -
- I Wish They Would Read Job Chapter 1 -
AND
As Can Be Readily Seen
They Are Ripe As Wine Grapes
For The Second Coming
Of The Lord!

There Is 
No Thing New Under The Sun!
There Is 
No Bell That Has Not Already Been Rung!
What Is 
Is What Has Been
AND
What Has Been 
Is What Shall Be!
Is The Song That Should
In Truth
Be Sung!

National Israel
Longed To Be Freed
From The Roman Yoke
AND
Spiritual Israel
The Israel Of God
Will Be Freed
From Rome
AND
That Ain't No Joke!

Don't Be Deceived
By Ecumenism!
The Roman Emperor 
Constantine The Great Did That First!
AND
Don't Be Amazed By A Roman
Calling Himself
Lord God Divine
For
The Roman Emperor Domitian 81-96 AD
Already Did That, Too!
I Tell You All This Is True!

Blood Will Flow!
Peace Will Be Like Snow
Under
Burning Hot Sun
AND
Believing Men
- At Bodily Peril -
Will Surely Call
Jesus Christ The Great God
AND
The god On The Earth
Used By
AND
Openly Working For
Satan
Will Send Many Men
To A Martyr's Fate!

BUT ...

Be Ye ENCOURAGED!

Faithfully Trust
The King Of Kings
The Lord Of Lords
The God Of Heaven
Who Has Already Ransomed Us
Out Of 
The Hands Of The Cruel Fraud!

Truth Cannot Be Changed!
AND
Jesus Christ's Return
Cannot Be Stayed!
So 
Stand Up
In The Love Of God
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
Give The Back Of Your Front
To That Fraud
Beelzebub
Who Is Already Crushed
Already Damned By 
The Holy And Almighty God!

Faith's Victory 

Is In

Christ Jesus!

Use It OR Lose It!

*********

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

Up In Heaven

I Have A Shopping List For Today

But

First

I Praise And Thank You

For

Your Providence For Yesterday

Wherein I Saw Not

Hunger Nor Thirst!

In Faith

I Ask For More Faith

Faith That Is Tested And Tried

And

I Desire The Experience Of

Knowing That Christ Jesus

Is Ever At My Side!

Lord,

I May Not Know What It Is

For Which I Am Truly Asking

But

I Believe That You Do

And

For This I Am Thankful

For

I Depend Wholly On You!

Teach Me Your Way

And

Help Me To Walk In It!

Guide My Footsteps!

Help Me To Keep Clean Lips!

And

Grant Unto Me A New Heart

Compassion To Use It

And

The Gentle Hand

To Prove It!

I Love You, Lord!

I Am Your Child

Your Servant

And

A Glad Member

Of

The Household Of Faith

And

I Fully Expect To See My Jesus

In Whose Name I Make My Plea

On

His Great And Glorious Day!

Even So

Come Soon, Lord Jesus!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + I Know The Holy One! + PRAYER: Lord, Prepare Me!

I Do Not Have To Look To The Hills
And Ask:

From Whence Comes My Help?

For
I Know
That My Help Comes
From The Living Holy Lord
In Whom
By God's Grace
I Will To Walk In Accord!

I Do Not Have To Look
At The Powers That Be
And Wonder:

Who Will This Day Take Care Of Me?

For
I Know The One Who Cares For
AND
Loves Me
Is He Who Abides
He Who Hears Silent Cries
The Almighty God Of Heaven
Whom I See With My Heart
AND
Not With My Blind Eyes!

My Way May Be Hard
AND
The Night May Often Seem Long
BUT
My Savior Is The Shepherd
Who Carries The Weak
AND
Gives The Hoping Heart 
A Believer's Happy Song!

So ...

Because Of Him Who Cares
I Will Know No Fear
Nor
Fear This Life's Known Frights
So I Am Able To Say
A Believing Child's Prayer
AND
Give My Back To 
The Always Encroaching Night!

I Choose To Believe
That Almighty God Is Real!
I Choose To Believe
That Jesus Christ His Son
Died
My Life To Save!
I Choose To Believe The Word
That Says
Because Of This My Belief
Satan Will Against Me Rage
AND
I Nevertheless Choose
With Jesus Christ
As The Lord Of My Life
AND
The Holy Spirit
As The Chosen Resident Of My Heart
AND
Holy Angels
As Companions
Ministering Spirits
Protectors
Good Influencers
In Day Light
AND
Dark Night
To Resist
Beelzebub The Foul
The Dark Angel Who Pretends To Be Angel Of Light
By Asking Almighty God
- He Who Holds Heavenly Rewards
In His Holy Hands For Me -
To Bless Me
With The Benefit Of Seeing Eyesight
So That I
- In Jesus Christ's Name -
May Walk The Path Narrow
Living Right
Straight
As The Proverbial 
Sure Shot
Arrow!

Dear Ones,

Please Know That ...

Life Is The Blessing!

Living Is The Dressing!

Choice Often Makes

The Dressing Stressing

And

Walking ... Out Of The Will Of God

Makes The Blessing Oppressing!

*********

Choice Is Choice

And

Chance Is Chance

But

Willful Sin Is A Decision

Made

By Choice

And Not

By Chance!

*********

Our Free Will

Will Neither Be

Coerced

By Jesus Christ

Nor

Forced

By Satan!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

Prepare Me

To Be Your Sanctuary

For

Of My Free Will

I Choose

To Serve You

And

To Believe

That In The Day Of Redemption

You Will

This Purchased Believing One

Retrieve!

I Love You, Lord!

Please Continue To Bless And Keep Me

As You Have Promised!

In Jesus' Blessed Name I Plead!

AMEN.

Messengers For Jesus?!

Do As I Say
Not As I Do
Is A Recipe For Disaster
I Tell You Quite True!

All Of Us
Who Call Ourselves Christian
Should Be Consistent In The Message Of God We Bring
For
Conflicted Messaging
Is Not What Jesus Christ Through Us
To This World Is Offering!

How Can We
As Messengers For Jesus
Speak And Squeak
At One And The Same Time?
Why Are We Speaking Comfort
To The People Who Are Seeking The Only Son Of God To Find
While Our Voice Warns
There Is Vermin In Back Of The Curtains And The Blinds!

Why Are We To The World Speaking Appeal And Repel?

I Will Here Speak For Myself
In This Instance ... As A For Instance
I Despise That Four-legged Creature That Squeaks
AND
I Tell You
Without Fear Of Contradiction
That A Squeaker Makes My Blood Run Cold
AND
My Response To That Aversion
Is To Make Sure That He Will
In My Presence
Not Get
One Single Day More Old!

He Has Got To Go!

AND

The Same Is The World's Reaction To A Vacillating Christian!

I Have Witnessed "Christians" 
Denouncing Others As Sinners
In Language That Would Make Drunk Sailors Blush!
I Have Also Witnessed The Same Christians
Speak Of Jesus Christ So Beautifully
That There Is A Majestic ... Hush!

They Are Fired Up For God And Valiant And True!

How, Then
Do We Reconcile This Behavior?
Were We Not All Once Sinners Before God?
Did Not Jesus Weep And Suffer And Die For Our Salvation?
If So, Why Are We Now Behaving
Like Agents For The Fraud?

Where Is Our Attitude Of Gratitude?

If I Am Hugging You
I Can't Slap You!
If I Am Slapping You
I Can't You Hug
So Why
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
Are We Giving
To A Dying World
A Message That Says That
God's Love For Humans Has Got Glitches And Bugs?!

If We As Christians
Are Not Ready For Prime Time
We Need To Get Back To The Good Book!
We Need To Let The Book Be Our Mirror
To Disclose What In Us Needs A Serious Fixing Up!
We Then Need To Proceed To The Father God
Making Request In Jesus Christ's Name
Bespeaking Ourselves A Reformation By The Holy Spirit
AND NOT
From That Mirror
Just Walk
Walk Away!

Let Us Be Doers Of The Word
Not Hearers Only!
Let Us Not Be Deceitful In Our Ways
For
We Hurt Ourselves
AND
We Hurt Others
Turning Them Away From God
Because In Us
They Are Totally Dismayed!

Words and Actions 

Often Teach 

Unintended Lessons

and

Produce

Unintended Consequences!

***********

A Crisis Of Character

In A Christian

Causes Beelzebub To Dance

For In This He Sees Opportunity

In Front Of A Seeking Soul 

To 

Boldly Denouce The Way 

And

Working Of Almighty God!

***********

Give No Place To The Devil!
