The Blood-Washed Band!

We Love To Sing, With Deep Emotion, That Dear Song Of Zion: 

"What Can Wash Away My Sin!?! 

Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus!" 

Have You Considered That Even As In The Natural World

The Scent Of Blood 

Sends The Predators Of The Spirit World Into A Frenzy!?! 

Beloved, 

The Blood-Washed, Committed, Saint Of God And Christ 

Has A Distinctive, Very Powerful Scent

Speech, Walk, Will And Way Of Being That 

Is

A Distinct Affront 

And 

Threat To The Demon Class 

And 

To Those Who Are Possessed 

And 

Activated By These Condemned And Damned Beings! 

Simply Put, All Of Us Who Willingly Repented 

And

Humbly Confessed Our Sin

And 

Have Turned Away From Sinful Self

And 

Are By The Gift Of Faith

Daily Taking Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion

And 

Are Being Changed By The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

Because 

We Are Born-Again Christians

Are Threats 

And 

Prey! 

Being Born Is A Bloody Business 

And 

Being Born-Again Is No Less So! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

We May Be The Allegedly Weak Prey To The Damned 

But

Our Heartfelt Prayers Of Faith Work Mightily

Because 

He By Whom We Are Cleansed 

And

In Whose Image We Are Daily Being Remade

Takes Loving Care Of His Own Precious People! 

Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 

He Can't Go Back Home To Glory! 

He Has Already Been Overcome

And

He Is Damned For Eternity!

He Hates And Envies Christ With His Whole Being

And

He Hates You Because You Are Christ's! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord And Eternal God

Is 

Our Dear, Loving And Beloved Savior

And

By Almighty God's Available And Saving Grace 

And

With Mercy Free

We, Ever Obedient And Faithful And True

Are Headed Home To Glory

So Please Let Us Wise For Ourselves

- Through Our Love For The Lover Of 

Our Purchased-With-Innocent-Blood Souls -

And

Remain In The Blood-Washed Band 

Where We Are Protected ... Blessed! 

Choose Always To Be At Peace With God!

A Man ... Called Out!

The Apple Of ... His Eye!
The Love Of ... His Heart!

BEGINNING: Blessing!

There Is No Human
Upon God's Green Earth
That Is Put Into The Position
Where To Sin Is A Necessity
For
Our Father In Heaven
Will
With The Temptation
Provide A Way Of Escape
AND
It Is Up To Us
To Exercise Our Freewill Option
To Get Out Of Performing Sinful Actions
Not Go After Its Spurious Attractions!

The Path Of Least Resistance
Is Always Touted
As The Way That Is Best
BUT
If You Use A Banana Peel
For A Skateboard
Tell Me If You Pass 

The Skinned Knees 

AND
Broken Behind Test!

Right Is Right
AND
Wrong Is Wrong
AND
Walking Right Before God
Can Never Ever Be Wrong
So
Do The Right Thing
AND
Leave The Wrong Alone
AND
The God Of The Details
As Promised
Will Get You Safely Home!

To Climb A Rough Mountain
You Must Be Equipped!
To Get Over The Devil
The Blood Of Jesus
Is Your Pointy Stick
For
It Gets You Over Liars
It Gets You Away From Soul Thieves
It Puts Mercy At Your Disposal
ANDGrace Is Available
Just For The Asking
By Humble, Faithful, Prayer
Please!

Easy Isn't Necessarily Easy
AND
Hard Could Be Fast
AND
Fast Could Be Barely Easy
BUT
The Extent Of God's Beautiful Truth
Is Vast!

Vast Easy
Hard Fast
God Is Out There In Here

Every Which Way

The Eye Can Be Cast
AND
Satan And Sin
Will Not
To Eternity Last
So
Look Upon Jesus
Sinless Example He
AND
Take Him For Your Exemplar
AND
To Eternity
For Eternity
Walk Wise!
Walk Free!

Jesus Christ  Is Our B2B! 

He Is

Our Beginning

AND 

Our Blessing!

STOP DABBLING: The Sulphurous Stench Of ... Sin!

Dibble Liked To Dabble
On The Borders Of Sin
Until The Day He Dribbled
AND
His Ball
Into Sin's Hoop
Did Go In!

Properly Stunned!
Emotionally Shocked!
Evidently Elated-Flabbergasted!
Dibble Tried To Dribble In Reverse
AND
That
Is When He Saw For Himself
That Dabbling With
Near
AND
Around Sin
Will Always
- When Least Thought-Expected -
Inevitably Lead
To The Thing Called
The Curse!

Hey, Nurse? How Do You Reverse A Curse!"
How Does One Put A Curse In Reverse!

Pray! Pray!
Back Back!
Back Away!
Turn Around!
Confess!
Repent!
AND
Never Walk That Way Again!
Trust Jesus!
Trust Jesus At
AND
Obey
His Word
AND
Your Life 
Will Be Bettered
AND
Cannot Be Made Worse!
Thereby
Is The Curse Reversed!

Dibble Was Good
For A While
BUT
Paradoxically
Dibble Again Dabbled
AND
Dabbling Dibble
Bit The Bait
AND
Don't You Know
The Unexpected 
BUT
Projected Result Was Achieved
AND
Dabbled-Out Dibble
At His Current Condition
Did Cry
AND
Wheeze And Sneeze!
He Had Snot All Over His Face!

Dibble?!
Dibble?!
Dibble?!
Why Did You Dabble In Sin ... Again?!
Did You Not Learn The First Second Lesson?!
Were The Words To You Vain?!
Don't You Understand
That Breaking Wind In The Wind
Leaves A Stench Undeniable
Marked With Sulphur
That Makes Eyes Run Water
Leaving You
For The Gross Crime
Liable?!

Accountability

Does Not Any Man Trust!

Accountability

Exacts Payment!

There's No Credit!

Cash On The Barrel Head

On The Payday

Is A Must!

One Does Not Play With Sin
AND
Walk Away
Unscathed
For
Playing With Sin
Is Like
Playing With Tar In White Pants!
It Always Leaves
A Big Black Mark
Small
Medium
Large
Always Evident
Indelible
Until
The Sin Cleaner's
Cleansing Flow
Floods Your Heart
AND
Takes Charge!

Soooooo ...
What Can Wash Away My Sin?!

All Together Now:

"NOTHING ... But The Blood

Of Jesus!"

Sooooo ...
What Can Make Me Clean Again?!

NOTHING ... But The Blood

Of Jesus!

Oh, Lead Me To The Flow!

I Want To Be White As Snow!

I Don't Want Sin's Scarlet Anymore!

I Desire The Cleansing Of The Blood

That Comes From

Holy Jesus!

Lord,

Save Me Now!

Help Me To Stop Acting Like

A Free Ranging Cow

Always Eating Feed Like A Breeding Sow!

Lead Me To Safe Refuge!

Lead Me, Lord!

Lead Me Now!

AMEN!

***********

There Is Nothing

Trivial

About Sin!

There Is Nothing

Blessed About

For One's Own Sin

Paying!

So,

Think On Jesus Christ!

To Your Heart

Let Him In

And

Your Very Own

Personal Victory

Over Sin

Is

A Winning Undertaking!!

HAPPY SABBATH + On Up To God!

I was walking on Up to God
I met Man
He called Me: "Friend!!"
He implored Me to walk with him for
He knew of all of Life's Best Short-cuts to Journey's End!

He said he had been on Up to God before and
He beguiled Me
With much lying and lore, and
I was mesmerized
As He told me of what it was I was in for!

I had been warned
But I listened and strayed
My walk on Up to God 
Was delayed. Delayed!

I was regaled with stories of Hate and Love
Needs and Greed
He had a Great Knack
I ate swallowed his prepacked Snack!

I walked on in Myself
I didn't look in
I didn't look back
To see that True Companion
Was trailing ... bloody, and crying!

I - for a while - lived
With Company of Lies
I was motivated by 
The Lord of The Dung Flies!

I lived High
I partied Low
I laid on the Ground
I rolled around in mud and loved in black snow!

My New Friends had No Morals
They smelled of The Flame
I didn't
 ... I didn't care!

I really should have known
That Sweet Life doesn't last
It ends in a casket or 
In a full body cast!

There were Regrets and Recriminations
Vexations
Lost Relations, and
Crying, and much wishing
For the Good that was and is now ... past!

My Day of Reckoning came
My Excuse for Folly? - It was lame!
I lived by My flesh, My eyes
I lived for the Praise of the In-World Game!

As for He Who Led Me To Stray
He was laughing - and pointing - at My Decay
And calling Me Fool
After CONvincing Me that his Way of Life 
Was happening, and way, way, cool!

It was then I saw My True State
I was inside the Pig
Gate
Eating that which made the Scavenger Swine salivate!

I thought of on My Father
Who His Servants fed!
Those Servants had much
For He did Reward
And I said in My Heart:

"I will go back to My Father

As His Servant, today!

I know He will Forgive!

He will help and heal My Decay!"

Loaded Down ... Dirty as I was
I ran toward Home! I couldn't stay away, and
My Father met Me in on The Way!
I cried, and I said:

"Father! Forgive Me!

I strayed, and really played!

I wasted My Substance on with The Fraud

Who cast me aside!

Father! He lied and lied

And I have been burnt!

Heal Me!

Help Me!

To You, My Lord, I return

For, Life Lesson, though hard

I have assuredly learnt!"

My Father washed Me - I was Renewed!
My Father clothed Me - the World I eschewed!
I walk ... NOW
On The True and Holy Way
I live for My Father
He's My Lord - The Light of The Way!

I have #TheRewardsOfTheSaints:

Peace

Love

Joy

Hope

Provision

Help of The Angels

and

Saving by The Blood

The Spirit is My Comfort and My Stay!

What more can I say?!

I shall - in Jesus' Faith - Stay in The Fight!
I shall - with His Blessing - walk Faithfully into The Night
And on The Great Day
Coming very soon
I shall Rise Up - Glorified
To The Heavenly Reward
Way beyond the Big Moon!
