Lil' Bits Grow A Lot!

A Little Fault

A Little Sin

A Little Lie

A Little Error

A Little Hate

A Little Presumption: Reject This Tidy Terror!

A Little Love

A Little Light

A Little Truth

A Little Grace

A Little Faith

A Little Mercy: Take A Grateful Taste!

It's A Treasure! 

A Lot Of Problems In The Human Life

Stand On The Shoulders Of A Little Presumption

Because

Instead Of Taking Thought To Do And To Live Right

To Seek The Good Lord For Foresight

To Gain Insight

And

The Loving Savior To Delight

We Run And Board The Big Bus 
To The City Dump Called Assumption!

To Assume Makes A Fool Of You

And

A Bare-Back Donkey Out Of Me

With Neither Of Us Arriving At The Correct Destination!

We List To Port

And

We List To Starboard

And

We Never Make Land At Known-Safe Harbor!

Calvary Is A Fact ...

Mercy Is The Gift Most Free

The Blessing Of The Living God

To All Possessing The Human Body!

Mercy, For Us, Was Purchased At Great Expense

And

All Who Are Wise Unto Salvation

Grab Hold Hard Of The Container

The Lord ... The Christ

Who For Our Redemption

Was Bruised, Punctured

Despised, Discarded, Forsaken

But

In Glorious Triumph ... Denying Death

From Our Appointed Grave

He Did Massively Awaken! 

No Need To Assume:

Mercy For All Is Available

And Free!

A Little Mercy Makes The Way To Life Plain! 

A Little Mercy Relieves The Profane Of Their Shame! 

A Little Mercy To Us

From The Lord Who Gives Life

Acts As Our Catalyst

Giving Us The Best And Blessed Reason 

To Seek Jesus Christ's Eternal Life! 

Don't Get It Twisted ...

Presumption Knows Not Mercy

And

Mercy Has No Part In Presumption! 

Presumption Is A Gateway ... Drug

And
Presumption Itself Is Sin

And

Presumption Leads To The Pandora's Velvet-Lined Box

Where The Lot Of Little Sins

Are Comfortably Residing ... Abiding!

It Is Time That In The Lord Christ

You Sincerely Start Confiding!

Know The Facts ...

Little Things With Life Always Grow

And

Always Take One Of Two Directional Channels:

Send Down Roots

Grow Up Into A Lush Tree

And

Bear Abundant Good Fruit! 

Good Fruit Trees Get Pruned!

Or

Send Down Roots

Grow Up Into A Lush Tree

And

Bear Inedible Fruit! 

Bad Fruit Trees Get Purged!

Know The Right ...

The Tree Watered With Mercy 

Bears The Harvest Of Good Fruit

Fit For The Barns Of The Good King! 

The Tree Watered With Presumption

Bears The Harvest Of Inedible Fruit

And

The Tree Is Cut Down

And 
Made Into Wood For Burning

And

Cast Into The Hot Ovens Of The King! 

A Little Goes A Long Way! 

Is Your Little Something-Something

Leading You Tame To Salvation

Or Leading You Wildly To Damnation!?! 

Is Your Little Bit Good!?!

Is Your Little Bit Bad!?!

Is Your Little Bit A Treasure

Or Something From Which

To Save Your Life

You Must, With Prejudice, Be Severed!?! 

The Way To Eternal Life 
Just Requires One Little Step

One Constant Little Step

One Repeated Little Step

One Faithful Little Step

One Obedient Little Step

One Little Step ... Of Endurance! 

Whoever Endures To The End

Shall Be Saved!

The Master Is Here!

The Master Is Near!

The Master Is Walking With Us, Dear One!
We Should Roundly Cheer!

Let's Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation!
Let's Take A Little Step ... A Little Walk With Our Lord

And

Ascend Hill Zion That Beulah Land

Where There Is Joy, Peace ... No Fear! 

All There, Beloved, Is Bountiful Blessings
And
Loving Accord!
Let's Choose Eternal Life
And
The Great Reward!
Soon Comes The Long-Awaited Day!

Seven Steps To The Eternal God!

The Steps Are Plain:

Determination ... Set The Mind Toward Knowing God
And

Preparation ... Get Ready To Meet God

Isolation ... Spend Alone-Time With God

Expectation ... Look Always For A Blessing

Adoration ... Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness

Revelation ... Learn God By Letting Him Reveal Himself

Mediation ... Think To Bless Others

Transformation ... Acquire Christ's Character

The Holy God

Knows The End From The Beginning!
He, It Is, That Sustains Us ... In Between
And
All Who Would See Jesus Christ In Peace
Should
With Doing The Will Of Almighty God
Be Enormously Pleased!

Walking With The Eternal God
Requires
Personal Determination
To Get To Know ... Intimately
The Great I AM
And
To Set Aside All Noisome Distractions
And
Those Things Which Do Not Edify!

In Getting To Know The Creator God
One Must Indulge In Preparation
Aka Setting Aside Self
And 

Things Of The Carnal Sort
Because
Personal Sacrifice Is A Desirable Attribute
Which ... Avidly Pursued
Leads One ... Living Only For Christ Jesus
Unto The Great Reward!

Making Time For The Savior God
Requires 
Isolation
Quiet Time
Communion With The Holy Spirit
The Great Teacher
Who Leads Into All Truth
Teaching Guiding Chiding
All In Perfect Love
So That Our Hearts Are Not Lifted Up In Pride
But 

That In The Great God
We May Abide
And
Confidently Confide!

In Walking With The Redeemer God
One Must Have Great Expectations
For
The Blessings Of The Great God Are Never Small!
After All
He Did Make Heaven, Earth And Things All! 

We Must Believe That The Blessing God's Gifts To Us
Are Out Of His Abundant Riches
And
Not Fall For The Sophistries Of Satan
The Wily Dragon
The Benighting Fraud!

What Point Is Our Association

If We Do Not Adore The True God!?! 

It Is A Decided Blessing To Lift Up
The Living God
So, Let's Not Skimp On Praying

Praising
And
Petitioning The Everlasting God
Because
This Is A Precursor
To Our Hallelujah Days!

Let Not This Step Be Just A Momentary Phase! 

As We Walk The Steps To The Kingdom Of Light

Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit

The Lord's Character To Truly Reveal! 

Let Us Not Be Dabblers

But

Become Specialists On Him Who Is

Light Life

Love And Salvation

And

We Shall Not Be Among Those

Who Honor Self

Lift Up Sin

And

Are Walking Toward Sure Damnation!

He Is The God Who Heals! 

And ... 

In The Process Of Our Own Journey

Let Not Forget Our Brethren

By Blood

By Faith

By Affection! 

Let Us Not Forget The Stranger In The Way! 

Let Us ... For The Love Of The Lord Christ

Generously Mediate for Others!

We Are All One Blood! 

We Are Sisters And Brothers! 

Brethren, Beloved

I Tell You The Truth:

We Will Be Transformed! 

We Will Not Be Left Untouched

Unaffected

By Our Relationship With The Lord Christ! 

We, Converted

Regenerated

Shall Be As He Is! 

We Shall Be Like Him! 

With His Character, We Shall Be Adorned

And

We Shall Truly Know

Why, For Us

He Wore That Cruel Cutting Crown Of Thorns!

Please Do Not Let Christ's Sacrifice For Us

Become The Thing Call Waste! 

Let Us Be Vigilant

And

Let The Spirit Of The Living God

The Sin Character In Us ... Today 

Totally Efface!

Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind! 

Set Your Affections On Things Above! 

Desire The Gift That Only God Through Jesus Christ Gives

And

At The Appointed Time

We Shall To The Promised Land

Beulah Land Of Gold

Triumphantly

Go To Eternally Live! 

To Satan ... 

The Words:

"Get Thee Behind Me!"

With Finality

Boldly Give! 

HAPPY SABBATH: Building Walls; And Self ... The Enemy Of Man + PRAYER: Help Us, Father, To Keep The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Building Up The Wall!

The Law Of God
Is 
A Wall
Around The People Of God
But
It Is Being Breached
By Those In The Employ Of The Fraud
Who Use Every Method Or Means Available
To Break Down
Climb Over Or Dig Under 
The Foundation Of Truth! 

How Do You Stand ...

Be Not False-Hearted!
Be Not Lackadaisical!
Be Not Vain!
Jesus Christ The Lord
Is 
The Builder
Satan Is The One Profane
And
All Who Him Follow
Causing The Lord Shame
Shall Not Escape Condemnation
Nor Damnation's Burning Flame!

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

When Former Doubters, Believe
And
Former True Believers ... Doubt
This Is A Time Of Tumultuous Emotions
For The Faithful Stalwarts Of The Household Of Faith
But Not Time
The Word Of The Lord To Refuse To Shout!

Every Man Has A Will!
Every Man Has A Way!
Every Man Has A Choice To Make
Uncoerced
Unforced
- Unilaterally -
A Decision To Be Made
Without Impact Of Another's Soul-Crippling
Truth-Denying
Christ-Crucifying Afresh, Doubt!

Willful, Prideful, Self 
Is 
Man's Enemy!
Christ The Righteous, Alone
Is 
Man's Friend

And
Satan, Alone
Is
Man's Adversary
Man's Fake Friend
The Wannabe God
Who Incites Man To Indulge Wayward Self
In Known Treachery!

Brethren,
Decisions Must Be Made:

Give Self To Jesus Christ
And
Be Remade Anew
After Falling On The Rock To Be Broken
And
To Be Tried
In The Furnace Of Affliction
To Emerge As Gold
Profitable To The Holy God!

OR

Give Self To Satan
And
Receive A Few Soon-Crumbling Baubles
By Denying The Life Of Christ
And
Refusing And Rejecting The Holy Spirit
Denigrating Holy Influences
And
By Walking Wise In One's Own Lying Eyes
Marching On To Receive The Word Of Condemnation
From The King Of Kings
The Judge Of All Flesh
The Maker Of Us All
Who Will Not Abide Disobedience
Disrespect
Denial
Liars Nor Lies
But 
Who Ever Accepts Man's Personal Decisions
Made By Uncoerced 
God-Given Free Will And Free Choice!

Remember! Remember!
Don't Ever Forget ...

Satan
The Devil
The Dragon
The Piercing Serpent
Beelzebub The Bold
That King Of The Dung Flies
Cannot Make You Do Anything
And
Neither Will The Lord Of Life!

PRAYER:

We Need The Faith Of Jesus, Blessed Father

That Can Tolerate Deprivation

Denial And Delay!

We Need The Faith Of Jesus, Father

That Will See Us Standing Firm

Nothing Wavering

When Evil People

Suborned By Satan

Try To Instill In Our Hearts

- Long Committed To the Lord Christ -

Debilitating Ungodly Fear!

We Come To You, Father

Believing The Living Word

Trusting The Lord Of Life

The Creator Of Us All

And

We Bow, Reverently

In Holy Worship

Desiring Holy Communion

- The Carnal World Incapacitated

From Intruding -

So That We May Be Eternally Blessed

By Grace

- The Unmerited Favor -

Which Furnishes Us With Mercy

So Desperately Needed

In Times Like These!

Father,

Forgive Us Our Multitudinous Sins

And

Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!

Father,

The Cup Of Blessings Overflow

But

The Cup Of Iniquity

That Cup Of Planned Willful Sin

Has A Limit Never To Be Exceeded

So, Pity Us, Lord

And

Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Upon Us

And

Open Our Eyes

So That We May See As He Is

Our Only Savior

The Prince Of Peace

The Shepherd Of Rest

The King Of Love!
We Need Strength From On High
The Adversary Of Souls
To Defy!
To Deny!

Please Give Into Our Hands

The Strength That Will See Us

Making The Decision
For
Life In Jesus, Now

And

The Ultimate Decision

For

Immortal

Incorruptible Life

With The King Of Glory, Later!

Father,

Please Protect

The Most Innocent Amongst Us

From The Evil

Of

The Most Flagrantly Wicked Amongst Us
Who Have No Respect
For
The Sanctity Of Life!

Please Protect The Unborn

And

The Little Children, Lord!

Jesus Christ Saves!

In His Glorious Name, Father

Please Save Us From The Damned Satan

Who Is Raising Up An Army

By All Means Available
And
At His Disposal!

Please Give Into Our Hands

The Purchased Victory Over Sin

So That We May Be Saved And Blessed!

Please, I Beseech You, Father

Help The Holy People

Of

The Household Of Faith

To Keep The Faith

To Stay In The Good Book

To Keep Our Hands In Lord Christ's Hands

To Keep Our Feet Shod

To Deliver The Gospel Of Peace

To Allow The Holy Spirit To Shape

Our Characters To Be Like Jesus
To Be Kind
To Be Loving
To Be Faithful
To Be Obedient
To Be True

And

To Endure All Things

For Our Soon Returning King

So That We May

At The Appointed Time

Enter The Gates

To Reside In Beulah Land

The Holy City

The New Jerusalem
Where No One Grows Old!

We Love You!

We Bless You!

Please Abide With Us And In Us

Is

Our Hearts' Constant Prayer!

Thank You For Hearing

And

Thank You For Answering

These Few Petitions

For We Ask All In The Matchless Name

Of Jesus Christ The Conquering King!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

Beulah Land Awaits!

I'm Satisfied With Christ Jesus!
I Am Blessed Of Almighty God!
I Have The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
And

By Almighty God's Grace
I'm Headed To The Great Reward!

I'll Not Sacrifice Almighty God's Peace For A Penny!
I'll Not Despise Almighty God's Grace For Fashionable Garb!
I'll Not Minimize Mercy For Houses And Lands
Nor Trade Salvation 

To Be Friends With A Rich And Powerful Woman Or Man!

Almighty God Provides For My Few Needs
And
Jesus Christ Is Ever Sufficient For Me
And
I Have
- Being Personally Prepared For Me -
A Forever Home
Compliments Of The Lamb Of God
Who Sits On The Great White Throne!

I Refuse To Walk In The Counsel Of Ungodly Men!
I Refuse To Scorn Jesus Christ The Lord!
I Refuse To Live Any Longer In Sin
Because
I Am Determined That I Shall One Day On Streets Made Of Purest Gold
- By Right -
Be Forever Walking!

Because Of My Nature 

Sin Is Enticing!
Wrong-Doing Is Appealing

And
Ignoring Truth Is The Thing That Holds Sway
But
I'm Here To Tell You That 

Ignoring The Holy Way Does Not Pay
And
To Encourage You To Do What Is Right
No Matter The Personal Cost
For Then
You Will Be A Delight To Him
Who For Your Own Soul's Salvation
Hung And Died
On Calvary's Cruel Cross!

I Beseech You, Therefore, Brethren ...

Ignore The Gross Liar!
Ignore The Salvation Thief!
Ignore The Hope Killer
And
Accept Jesus Christ For 

The Blessing Of Sweet Peace!

All Night, All Day ...

You May Not See Them
But
I Tell You Truth
Holy Angels From Highest Heaven
Are Watching Over You
And
Please, I Further Beseech You
Be Careful Of What You Do And Say
For Every Thing That Is On Your Record
You'll Have To Give An Accounting Of
On One Soon Coming Day!

But ...

Remember, Remember! 

Remember! Don't Forget!
The Door Of The Eternal God's Mercy
Has Not Been Closed As Yet!
The Holy Spirit's Still And Sweet Small Voice
Is 

Still Calling Men To Sure Salvation
And
The Day Is Still To Come
When Men, Women And Children Of 

Childlike Faith
Will See Eternal Elevation!

Accept It ...

Grace Is Free!
Mercy Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Free
And
Salvation Is Free
So
Do Not Play With Sin
By Which You Will Surely Purchase A Portion Of
Satan's Decreed And Waiting Damnation!

Please ...

Trust Jesus Christ The Righteous And Truth Know!
Trust Truth And Let Faith Grow!

Obey The Commandments

And

Endure All Things For The Lord
And SoonVery Soon
With Christ Jesus
To Beulah Land
You Shall Surely Go!

I Now Challenge You ...

Go Out 

And 

Let Our Other Brethren By Jesus Christ's Blood
Almighty God's Eternal Truths Know!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Day The Salt Lied + PRAYER: Bless Us, Lord, With The Light Of Life!

The People Of God Make A Difference!
They Are The Salt Of The Earth

AND
The Light Of The World
AND
Any Christian Who Misrepresents
The Character Of God
By His Words
His Works, Indeed
IsWorse Than The Unbelievers
Who Willingly Wittingly Willfully

Do The Devil's Dastardly Deeds!

Them's Fighting Words, Man!
You Got Anything To Back Them Up?!

I've Got The Living Word, My Brother!
The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God!

I'm Listening ... Still
So Do Your Do!

Roger That!

Have You Ever Tasted Salt ... That Lied!?!

Can't Say That I Have!
Can't Say That I Want To!

Have You Ever Turned On A Lamp
Or Lit A Candle
AND

Did Not Receive The Expected Light!?!

I've Turned On A Lamp
Expecting Light
And Stayed In Darkness
Because Either The Bulb Was Blown
Or There Was A Loose Connection!

I've Lit A Candle That Promptly Sputtered Out!
It Had A Dead Core!

Tell Them Your Story, Doris!

Yes! What About You, Doris?!

To My Shame
I Paid My Light Bill
But Failed To Mail The Check!

I Had The Necessary Information
And I Did The Preliminary Work
But To My Complete And Utter Shame
I Lacked Follow-Through! 

I Did Not Complete The Transaction
Because My Check Was Not Placed In The Mailbox
And So
I Did Not Get The Sweets
The Benefit Of Cheaply Available Power
And
Preserving Energy
And
Glorious Light!

I Had To Wander For A Day In Darkness
And
Had To Pay A Fine
And
Was Forced To Wait In Anxiety
Uncalled For And Unnecessary
All Because Of My Personal Folly!

Girl,
You Just Preached A Sermon And A Half
- Minus A Request For Offering -
AND
You Added The Altar Call!

You Just Made My Eyes Open Wide
And It Made Me Want To Cry
Because
It Is Our Association With Christ
Laid Bare!

That Check-For-Service
Is

 Our Prayer
Which ... Left Unuttered
Will Never Breach
Heaven's High And Holy Atmosphere!

Prayer Left Unsaid

AND
To Communion With Christ Uncommitted
Leaves Us In Outer Darkness
Where
Without Repentance For Sin

AND
From Sinning Turning Away
There Is No Eye Salve
No Balm Of Gilead
No Beulah-Land Efficacious Plaster!

May The Everlasting Father
The Prince Who Gives Heavenly Peace
Pity Us In Our Distress!

Lord, Send Relief! 

Let The Holy Spirit Continue To Speak
And Help Us To Hear
Not Forswear!

I Desire The Singing In Heaven To Personally Hear!

I Desire To See Jesus In Peace!

I Desire To See And Eat Of The Fruit That
The Tree Of Life Bears!

We Must Speak The Word
In Season And Out
AND
Let Our Good Influence Cause
A Listing Backsliding
Seeking-Salvation Brother Sister
Mother Father
Son Daughter
Companion Friend
To Turn To The Life-Giver In Certain Hope
So That They May Experience
True Light
Good Food
Living Water
AND

In The Fullness Of Time
Life Eternal
Life ... Without. End!

Salt Without Savor

Will Be Cast Away!!

PRAYER:

Please, Lord, 

Please, Help Our Hearts Mend!

Let Our Salt Keeps Its Savor

So That We May

In Peace

Meet Our Soon Coming Savior

At Time's End!

From Our Hearts

Remove Doubt!

From Our Minds

Remove Fear!

Help Us To Look To The Master

For Our Saving Grace

So That We May Be Kept

Safe And Secure In The Holy Faith

From The Encroaching Disaster!

Pity Us, Lord, Who Pray!

Pity Us Who Look To The Coming Day

And

Bless Us With The Light Of Life

So That We May Successfully Exit

The Carnal Strife!

Hear Our Hearts' Prayer, Oh, Lord

For

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We, Believing

Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy And Bless!

AMEN.
