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.

The Principle Pleasure

At The Age Of My Majority
I Started Walking Toward The By-Pass Bus!
The Elders Weren't Too Happy
AND
Of Course
Started To Kick Up A Fuss
BUT
I Was My Own Person!
I Could See My Own Way
AND
Nobody Was Going To Tell Me
How
In This World
I Was Going To Play!

My Majority To Me
Meant
My Own Authority!
I Was Intent Upon Getting Away From The Don't Can'ts
Even If It Meant
Ending Up In A Nest Of Ants!

Well ...

As Life Would Have It
In The Instant I Said:

"I Wish ...!"

There Was A Whole Bunch Of Predators
Waiting
To Eat Me
Like A Dish Of Well-seasoned Baked Fish!

One Offered Pleasure!
One Offered Pleasure Through Pain!
One Offered Pleasure Pain To Get Enormous Gain!
One Offered Pleasure Pain Gain
AND
Enormous Acclaim
BUT
None Offered Me A Way
To Get Out From Under Sins' Stains
FOR
In Order To Get The Benefits
Of A Life Filled With
"Do As I Please!"
Meant
I'd Have To Sell My Soul
To Gain
What I Could Plainly See Was
Nothing But
Perishable Gold!

I Had Received From My Parents
A Foundation
Built On The Rock
AND
Because Of That Blessing
I Didn't Run Too Far From God's Flock!

I Made Terrible Mistakes!
I Made A Fool Out Of My Self
BUT
I Always Knew How To Say
"No!"
When It Came To Make The Decision
That Would Make Me A Pretty Dead!

I Was Oft Unfaithful To God
BUT
All The While
He Is Faithful To Me
AND
I Kept Hearing That Voice
Saying:

"Child, Come! 

Come Home To Me!"

I Couldn't Out-run It!
I Couldn't Buy It Off!

So ...

One Day I Said Plainly:

"Please Get Me Off Of This Path."

AND ...

The Faithful Father
Took Me At My Word!
He Drew Me
AND
He Wooed Me
Showing
How Wrong Ways Can Be Reversed!

I Took The Word Of The Master
For He Is Saving Me From Eternal Disaster!
I Have Bumps Marks Scrapes
I Even Wear Wound Plaster
BUT
I Am Free
To Be
What The Lord
Needs Me To Be
AND
Come High Bidder
On Low Ways
By God's Grace
I Quote A Very Nice

This Is What My God Says:

***************

Life May Be Good

BUT

Jesus Christ Will Make It Better

AND

In The Glorious Day

We Shall See True Life

At God's Declared Best!!

Wait For It!

Further To Turning Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus: KNOWING HIM!

For more years than I care to recall, I have Stated that I am no one's Favorite Child!

I have also long stated that I have no Expectation of an Inheritance from Anyone
And
That the Only Thing that my Grandmother gave to Me was My Faith in Jesus Christ!

I have also made it Abundantly Clear to anyone who will Listen that There is No Human who can Give Another Human...  FAITH!!

A.  I have never seen Jesus BUT I know Him... Intimately. How?

I had a client 30+ years ago,  whom I have never seen,  who became my dearest friend, and who became my son's God-parent.  How?

I gave birth to a child who did not "know" me but who,  as he grew,  no matter how late I got home,  which was very often 7-10 hours AFTER the regular close of business, or how tired he was,  or who else was around to take care of him,  would not rest or sleep,  until I reached home and he could hear, and smell me.  Why?

My son grew, went to preschool.  I started keeping more normal hours and whenever I reached home he was waiting,  all excited,  waiting for something!

I always had something to give him every single day without failure. How did he know? Why the Expectation?

And,  as he grew older, he never asked what did I get him. Why?

Where did The Faith come from?

I have been privileged to hear my son publicly say that I have never lied to him. Why?

I have been blessed to hear my son say that he can trust me to always tell him the Truth. Why?

What is there in the Communion of The Soul and The Savior, and Communication of Trust by Way of Faith through Trust that causes Faith?

What is The Tone Heard or Felt?

What is The Scent Fragranced?

Do we Love through our Noses?

Do we Trust through our Ears? (Faith Comes by Hearing!)

IS Faith on or in The Skin?

Why do Some have Faith and Others don't?

Who do Some Doubt and Others don't?

In My Personal Journey on The Road to Salvation,  I can say,  without fear of Contradiction, I have always felt Safe with Jesus.

I have walked,  often,  in my own Way BUT I have always felt Safer walking and talking with Jesus.

Somehow,  I always knew I had a Safe Haven in The Savior.

Everyday I knew I would receive something.  What? Don't know.  Can't tell.  But... Something!

Sometimes, especially in times of Waywardness and times of Deep Distress,  Lonesomeness and Quietness, and even Happiness I would Feel,  Sense,  even Become Aware of a Warm and Comforting Presence.

I would find myself Suddenly Smiling without External Input.

I would find myself stopping my current activity, and turning my head and Listening.

I have found My Self by Myself Answering ... Aloud ... The Unspoken Heard Question.

I have Chosen to Trust Who I can't See but Who I Know.

Jesus said: "ALL that The Father hath GIVEN to Me WILL COME TO ME...! "

Jesus IS The Rose of Sharon.

Who does not want to nose The Fragrance of The Graceful Rose,  and be Caressed by The Velvet of its Petals?

Who will not brace the Tear of The Rose's Thorns to be The Possessor of The Beauteous Bloom of The Heir... Loom?

Do we not Recognize Truth even when it Comes from an Unknown Source?

Why then, would we not Accept Truth and Love, and Love and Trust The Source of Our Creation who, Assuredly, left His Maker Mark in Every Soul?

Just like every cellphone has a Manufacturer Unlock Code, so do Humans.

There are those of us who, after three or six months of use, call The Phone Company. and request The Unlock Code BECAUSE we wish, at our own Say-so to Go to Another Wireless Service Provider IF The Current Provider does not Meet Our Needs.

Some of us just Want The Code because we can have it and can Jump Ship At Will.

Some of us Don't Care to Change, or Move, or Know how to Move. 

We are SATISFIED WITH JESUS.

Having Been Turned On by The Originator IS Enough.

We will Stay The Distance by Faith.

Does not Jesus say: "My Sheep KNOW My VOICE!?"
