Created Beings Can't Game God Almighty!

A Favored Pastime In This World Today 

Is 

To Play The Victim 

And 

Throw Down The Paint On The Paper Thick And Hard! 

Throw A Hissy Fit! 

Roll Around In A White Outfit On The Dirty Floor! 

Cuss Out Everybody In Hearing Distance! 

Call Yuh Mudda A Man 

And Then 

Get Up Clear-Eyed And Calm 

And 

Wonder If You Need A Sun-Tan! 

Man's Got Skills! 

Beloved, 

If You've Cracked Open The Living Word Of God

You Would Know That That Boat Don't Float 

In The Kingdom Of God! 

Blaming Others 

For You Doing You

For "Forcing" You To Do Wrong When You Know To Do Right

For Your Getting Caught With Your Hand Inside The Cookie Jar

And 

Running A Corrupt Game Of Straight Face 

Is 

All On You! 

Adam, Eve, Cain, Achan, And Saul 

All Tried That ... And Failed

And 

We Will Likewise Fail 

If 

We Believe That We Are Able To Game Almighty God! 

Think, Dear Ones! 

Can You Really Fool The Eternal God 

Who Is All-Seeing

All-Knowing

And

Ever-Present 

And

Feels All That We Feel!?! 

Wheel, And Come Again! 

The Lord Plainly, Unambiguously, Says To Us: 

Your Ways Are Not My Ways

Neither Are Your Thoughts My Thoughts! 

Punishment For Our Corrupt Behavior May Be Delayed 

But 

Rest Assured It Will Arrive 

At The Time Appointed By The God Of Heaven

Who Has Earth As His Foot-Stool! 

Please Don't Play Satan's Games 

When The Lord God Almighty Wrote The Rule Book For Man 

Which Is Avidly Used By All 

Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Will Never Realize The Value Of 

The Anchor Of Your Soul 

Until You Experience The Wrath Of The Storm! 

Be Wise: 

Load Your Soul's Anchor 

Aka Put On Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Hating Sin Is Profitable!

Million Dollar Question:

Would You Actively, Maliciously

Continuously Hurt Someone You Love 

To Get At Someone You Hate!?! 

Do You Hate Anyone Enough 

To Trespass On Satan's Enchanted Ground

Utilizing Forbidden Means

To Achieve A Tasteless Pleasure 

To Give Yourself A Reason To Keep On Living!?! 

Beloved, 

Cain Killed His Brother, Abel, Without A Cause! 

Joseph's Brothers Sold Him Into Slavery! 

King Saul Repeatedly Tried To Kill His Son-In-Law, David

And 

Ended Up Visiting A Witch ... A Cheap Tool Of Satan

To Get Advice From The  Known-Dead 

To Help The One Willfully Living In Known Sin! 

Cain Was Cursed, Marked, Exiled

An Outcast From The Household Of Faith

An Adversary Of The Lord! 

Joseph's Brothers 

Unconscionably Hurt Their Old Father With Their Lies

And 

Committed Murder ... And More

And

Their Character Flaws 

Are The Very Ones Which We Must Overcome

Which Then Determines 

Which Pearl Gate We, As Overcomers ... Individually

Will Go Through To Enter The City Of God! 

King Saul's Death Sentence 

Was Pronounced In His Hearing 

By An Unclean Spirit Masquerading 

As The Prophet Samuel "Raised" From The Dead! 

Hatred 

Is 

A Kin To Murder 

And 

It Hurts The Hater More Than The One Hated: 

Is Indulging Unprofitable Hatred Of Others 

Worth Excluding Yourself From Jesus Christ's Eternal Life!?! 

Hating Sin Is Profitable! 

Think About It! 

Peace! 

Don't Grieve The Holy Spirit!

Are You Angry ... And Sinning!?! 

Are You Permitting The Sun To Go Down On Your Wrath!?! 

Are You Giving Shelter, Comfort And Aid To Satan!?!

 

Are You Starting To Grieve 

Aka Chase Away The Holy Spirit From Your Life 

By Your Behavior, Attitude 

And 

Your Stance In Life? 

Beloved, 

If You Are, May The Living God Have Mercy On You! 

The Facts ...

We Cannot Grieve, Cause Hurt, Sorrow, Or Anger 

In Someone Who Doesn't Love 

And 

Cherish Us In Their Heart! 

The Difference Between Grieving A Human Heart 

And 

Grieving God The Holy Spirit 

Is That

With The Loss Of The Holy Spirit

We Lose Perfect Peace, Rest

Truth, Light, Love 

And 

Eternal Life!

Is Holding On To Anger ... Remember Cain

Jealousy, Hatred

Pride ... Remember Lucifer

Greed ... Remember Judas

Covetousness, Selfishness, 

Bitterness

Lying To God ... Remember Ananias And Sapphira

Grudge, Unforgiveness

Malice

Vile Thoughts And Speech 

And

The Practice Of Witchcraft ... Remember King Saul 

HonestlyWorth The PriceWhich Must 

And 

Will Be Paid!?! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Grieving Away The Holy Spirit 

Is 

A Process ... A Downward Spiral 

To Eternal Separation From Almighty God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Petty To Turn Putrid:

All Rotten Things Get Binned And Burned!

 

Do Not Chase Holy Angels Out Of Your Home 

Or The Holy Spirit From Your Life 

When The Humble Prayer Of A Contrite Heart 

Can Turn Sorrow To Joy 

And

Hurt To Healing! 

Be Wise!

Your Personal Salvation Was Purchased At Infinite Cost

With The Blood Of The Innocent Lamb Of God

Jesus Christ The Lord

And

Not With Perishable Gold And Silver! 

Please Consider What The Shedding Of 

The Innocent Blood Of His Only Begotten Meant 

... Still Means ... 

To Our Heavenly Father 

And

Choose To Value Yourself Accordingly! 

The Lord Christ Did Not Make A Mistake 

When He WillinglyChose To Die

To Personally Save You ... And Me, Too! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

Perfectly Precious! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Self-Medication Trifecta

Disobedience

  Hatred Of Truth

     Pride

The Drug DHP For Those In The Know

Is 
The Self-Medication Trifecta

For The Willful

The Wayward 

The Wanders Bold

The Denizens Of Darkness

Who, Following Base Satan

Wantonly Do As They, Tempted, Are Told!

This Trifecta 
Is 
Compromised Of All Prize-Winning Race Horses

Which Have All Won Repeatedly

The Hell And Damnation Stakes

The Forbidden Way Stakes 

And

The Presumptuous Way Stakes!

The Way Of Those Who Daily Ingest DHP

Is

To Say To Their Creator 
Who Loves Them Sacrificially That They 

"Prefer To Die Beautiful Than To Live Ugly

Aka We Prefer To Die In Known Sin

Doing Our Own Thing In Our Own Way

Than To Permit Salvation And The Holy Spirit Of Truth

To Unmask Us In Public And Make Us Spiritually Clean

To Stand In The Presence Of The Good King

Eager To Do The Boring Good And The Non-Electric Right

And No Longer Be Able To Follow Inclination

In Its Soaringly-Exciting Carnal Thrills Of Devilish Delight!"

Just Like Unfair Gains 

Own-Way Thrills Won't, Don't, Can't Prosper The Soul

Who Operates Outside 
The Lord's Safe Safe Fold!

Think, Beloved

And 

Watch Your Step

For There Is A Downward Spiral For All Those

Who Do Not Sin Reject

And Instead

The Way Of Unrighteousness Lovingly Elect! 

Fear Not: There Is Hope! 

Sin Leads To Oppression!

Oppression Borne Through Sorrow Leads To Repentance!

Repentance For Real Leads To Deliverance

And

Deliverance Contritely Accepted 
And 
Gratefully Cherished

Leads To The Holy God's Perfect Peace! 

Please, From The Ways Of Sin, Self And Satan

Aggressively Cease! 

The Teachable Moment ...

Let's Learn From The Lost

Who Chose Not The Way Of God's Light

And 

Did Suffer What Is Truly Eternal Loss! 

The Saved Are Those

Who Practice Self-Denial

And

Follow The Way Of The Cross!

Brethren, 

Let Us Be Wise 

And 

Choose Not To Learn Life By Bitter Personal Experience 

But Rather

By Learning From The Published 
And 
Known Sorrowful Experiences Of Those 

Who Stood Up In Opposition To Almighty God: 

These Experiences Are Recorded To Warn And Teach Us! 

Cain ... Adam's First-Born Son ... Was Disobedient

Indulged In Willful, Witting, False Worship

Committed Murder

Was Banished

And 

Lived In Open Rebellion Against God!

Balaam Was A Prophet Who Loved Profit

Indulged In Witchcraft

And 

Who Chose To Place A Stumbling In The Path Of Israel 

By Encouraging Them In Idolatry And Immorality 
Through Planned Deception: 

He Defied And Disobeyed God 
Through His Gross Greed And Carnal Covetousness!

Korah ... A Temple Worker

A Prince Amongst His People

Indulged In Covetousness And Disobedience

And 

Boldly Challenged Aka Defied The Word Of God: 

The Earth Swallowed Him And His Possessions! 

These Three Men Are Lost Forever! 

Understand And Be Warned ...

Almighty God Means What He Says

And 

Punishments ... Just Like Promises

Are Always Delivered Right On Time! 

Please Don't Tempt God 

And 

Don't Follow The Multitude To Sin 
Or Dare To Cause Others To Sin! 

Beloved, 

The Holy God Takes Blessed Care Of His Children: 

Trust Him Today! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our True And Only Peace! 

EXPIATION: Do You Really Believe In That ...!?!

CHOICE :
The Gift Of Almighty God
Encompassing Free Will
Because
Almighty God Has Given Unto Us Mortal Men
Power, Opportunity, And The Option

To Choose To Love And Trust Him

FAITH:

The Gift Of Almighty God

Offering Power, Opportunity And The Option

To Believe

To Trust

To Obey

Almighty God At His Stated Word

For An Offered And Desired Benefit!

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

Since

Jesus Christ Paid For All Our Sin
And
Guarantees That We Are Sin-Free
When We Exercise The Faith That He Gives To All As A Gift
- A Down-Payment On Eternity -
And
Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin
And
Believe That He Did The Deed

And

We Then Choose Not To Believe

And

We Then Refuse To Believe That 

We Are Forgiven
Does That Mean That Jesus Christ
Did Not Perform As He Promised
And
His Sure And Pure Sacrifice Was
Is 

Not Efficacious!?!

It Could Be A Riddle ...

Is The Gift Of Faith Not Potent Enough!?!
Is The Gift Of Faith Worthless!?!

Whose Fault Is It
When The Known-Redeemed Soul
Rejects ... Out Of Hand
Jesus Christ's Sure And Secure Salvation!?!

Is There Anything Else That 

Jesus Christ Can Do To Convince The Purchased Soul 

To Accept The Blessed Gift Of Eternal Life!?!

Why Does
- Why Would -
The Sinner Doubt The Savior!?!

Why Does The Sinner Not Know
Or Recognize That
He Is Adding The Sin Of Doubt
To His Known-Long List Of Unconfessed Sin!?!

Why Does The One In Need Of The Savior
Take The Path That Satan Threads
Instead Of The Path That
Jesus Christ Trod!?!

What Will It Take To Cause A Sinful Doubter
- A Doubting Sinner -
To Exercise Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

Why Do Believers, Believe The Word Of Jesus Christ!?!

Why Do Doubters, Doubt The Word Of Jesus Christ!?!

Same Home, Same Teaching ...

Why Was Cain Different From Abel!?!
Why Was Ham Different From Shem And Japheth!?!
Why Was Esau Different From Jacob!?!
Why Was Joseph Different From His Brethren!?!
Why Did The Prodigal Son Leave Home!?!

Why Did Lucifer Covet The Position Of Christ!?!
Why Did Satan Desire To Be As The Most High
To Occupy Heaven's Throne
And
The Hearts Of All Around Him!?!

What Is The Excuse For Sin!?!

There Is No Excuse For Sin!

Bad Choice Costs!
Good Choice Pays

And
Making The Decision
To Depart From Sin To Enter Salvation
Always Great Dividends Pay!

Exercising One's Personal Franchise ...

Jesus Christ Gives!
I Choose To Receive! 

Jesus Christ Blesses!
I Choose My Sin To Confess!

Jesus Christ Forgives!
I Choose To Repent! 

Jesus Christ Heals!
I Choose Before Him To Kneel! 

Jesus Christ Reveals!
I Choose My Known-Sin Not To Conceal!

Jesus Christ Leads!
I Choose To Follow! 

Jesus Christ

- By The Holy Spirit -

Guides And Chides!
In Him, I Choose To Confide, To Abide!

Jesus Christ Is Truth!
In Him, I Choose To Trust! 

Jesus Christ Is Light!
Being With Him, I Cannot Walk In Darkness! 

Jesus Christ Is Life!
Being In, And Living For Him, I Have Eternal Life!

I Know That My Redeemer Liveth!

How Come I Know
But
The Doubter Knows Not
When We Are All Privvy
To The Same Preserved Truth!?!

I Am A Worm
A Flower Of The Field
A Child Of The Dust
A Sinner Once Marked For
The Second Death
But 

Now Aiming For Zion
Beulah Land
New Jerusalem
The Kingdom Of The Blessed!

I Know ...

I Did Not Make Myself
So I Will Not Doubt The One
Who Says
Who Daily Proves 

- According To The Preserved Word

By His Every Action In My Life

In The Lives Of Others

In Nature - That
He Did

And

In His Favor

I Choose To Use My Gift Of Faith!
I Choose To Trust The Lord Christ!
I Choose To Inherit Eternal Life In Christ
In Almighty God's Great And Glorious  Paradise!

Sin Sells!
Salvation Saves!
The Savior Sacrificed!
Satan Savages And Ravages!

CHOICE:

I Am Jesus Christ's ... Alone!

FAITH:

Jesus Christ Will Help Me

To Arrive Safely

At The Heavenly ... Home!

Almighty God Is Truth:

He Gave The Living Word! 

He Said It: I Believe It! 

For Me, The Case Is Closed!

Jesus Christ, My Redeemer

Erased

Paid For

Removed 

Freed Me 

Expiated ... My Personal Sin

And

I Am Going Home With Him

Even If I Go Alone!

Choice Faith Matters!

Almighty God Is Particular And Specific!

We Know Of A Surety ...

The Wages Of Sin = DEATH
The Gift Of Almighty God = ETERNAL LIFE

What You Reap = WHAT YOU SOWED
Give = GET BACK

Sow The Wind = REAP ... THE WHIRLWIND

Honor Your Father and Mother = LONG LIFE IN THE LAND 
Do Good = GOOD ATTENDS YOU

Confess Your Sin = ALMIGHTY GOD WILL FORGIVE
Repent = BE BAPTIZED

Walk by Faith = DON'T TRUST YOUR EYESIGHT
Know Jesus Christ The Lord = KNOW FATHER GOD

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

I Awakened Early One Sabbath Morning 
Only To Hear An Older Woman's Voice 
Coming Through The Bedroom Window Cheerily Singing:

Trust And Don't Pay!

Thief And Don't Care!

Huh!?!

And She Sang It Again! 
And Again! 
... And Again!

Yup!
It Was Real
And She Had Obviously Lost Her Mind! 
... Or Had She?

She Did Not Sound Inebriated! 
She Sounded ... Well ... Normal!

I Was Stunned Out Of My Gourd!

Let's Do Some Math ...

Older Woman = Elder Statesperson

Yup!
This Was An Elder Statesperson
Singing Aloud Some Really Bad Advice
As Though She Was On A Mission!

Could I Assume She Had Not Gotten The Memo

And

Was Headed

- Lacking Living Truth -

To A Collison!?!

Or, Perhaps

She Was A Change Agent For The Fraud

And

Earning Her Daily Pay!

She Was Singing Like She Didn't Care!

Whatever Her Reason

She Wasn't Working For The Holy God

And

It Is Certain That Her Siren Song

Would Land A Foolish One ... Thinking Flawed

In The Clutches Of The Law!

Facts Rule ...

Man, Broken
- Financially, Spiritually, Emotionally -

Cares Not Who He Breaks Down

And

This Is As It Has Been

From The Time Of The Beginning

When Big Brother Cain Wanted Baby Brother Abel

To Indulge In Rebellion
Against The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

And

Because Abel Refused To Indulge
In Willful Disobedience

He Killed Him! 

Just Like Satan

Cain Was A Card-Holding Hellion!

But ... 

Be Ye Warned, Brethren In The Truth:

Almighty God
The Eternal One
The God Of All Graces
Is 
Particular And Specific
And
Decidedly Not Wildly Capricious

Running His Business As Does The Loose Goose!

Almighty God Is The God Of Order

And

He Does Not Make Mistakes
And

Under No Circumstance
Will Almighty God
Wickedness And Rebellion Tolerate

So

If You Hear One Of The Elders
- Be It Mother Father Uncle Auntie
Neighbor Brother Sister Friend
Preacher Pastor Employer Town Ruler
Prophet Priest President Pope King -

Chanting A Fair Ditty

Don't Bite

Because That Fair Ditty Is A Wicked Kitty

That Spits, Scratches And Tears

Though Its Purrs Sound

Oh, So Witty!

Don't Brush That Kitty

But
- Of Necessity -

Esteem The Holy One With Godly Fear! 

HAPPY SABBATH + The Prince Of Peace!?!

Jesus Christ The Righteous
IS
The Prince Of Peace
Who Brought A Sword To The Men Of The Earth
Which Sword Is Sin Relief!

Here We Go Again!
Another Conundrum!

A Peacemaker Who Carries A Sword?!
Wow! I'm Under Overwhelmed!

Bite Yer Tongue!

Hey!
Wasn't A Peacemaker A Gun In The Wild West?!

Yes, It Was
But You Need To Widen Your Focus!

How?!
Every Peacemaker That I Know Off
Started A War!

Widen Your Focus ... Out And Up!
Think Vertically!
See Through The Eyes Of Faith
That Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us!

Oh! My Bad!

Why Did Cain Kill Abel?!

Cain Was Disobedient Presumptuous And Jealous
Aka Wicked!
Abel Operated Under The Obedience Of Faith!

Abel's Righteous Works Accused Cain's Disobedience!

Why Did Sanballat Hate Hezekiah?!

Sanballat Was Corrupt And Evil!
Hezekiah Labored Diligently By Faith 

And Feared The Living God?!

Why Did King Saul Hate David?!

Saul Was Disobedient, Presumptuous

Wilful And Wickedly Murderous Evil!
David Walked With God In Obedience ...!

... Really?!

Really
Minus The Bathsheba Affair
For Which He Abjectly Completely
- With Contrite Heart -
Repented!

Oh.

Why Did The Jewish Leaders Hate Stephen?!

Stephen Was On Fire For Almighty God
And Full Of Good Works!
The Jewish Leaders
- Wicked Deceitful Puffed Up
Dishonest Treacherous Murderous -
Were Heated From Hell!

Why Did Haman The Agagite
Hate Mordecai?!

Plain Case Of Good Versus Evil!

Haman Wanted The Worship
Mordecai, In Obedience, Reserved For The Living God!

Mordecai Believed And Trusted God's Word!

So, Let Me Ask You The Question!

Why Does Satan Hate Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

• Good Versus Evil
• Love Versus Hate
• Truth Versus Error
• Selfish Desire Versus Yielding To God's Will

Aka
- In All Instances -

Good People

AND
Good Works
Placing
Bad People

AND
Bad Works
Into Disclosing Exposing Revealing Bright Light!

Soooo, How Does This Correlate
To Jesus The Peacemaker Wielding A Sword?!

Glad You Asked!

Jesus Christ Is Our Peace

Bearing The Sword Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is
The Word Of God
Which Is
The Light Of Truth
Which Leads Us

Into The Eternal God's Everlasting Life!

The Light Of Truth
Is The Disclosing Agent
Which Glows In The Dark
Exposing Known Sin
AND
Revealing Inward Darkness
AND
Cutting Off The Way Of Escape
Used On The Path Of Denial!

I Get You ... Now!

The Word Of Truth
From The Prince Of Peace
Ignites
The Tinder Of Sin Within
The Darkened Soul Of Fallen Man
AND
All Who Hear The Word
Must Respond
- One Way Or The Other -
AND
The Only Way To Still The Convicted Spirit
Is To Hurt
Damage
Maim
Destroy
Make Its Presence Absent
With Prejudice
AND
With Finality
Killing It!

Put Another Way ...

Evil Gets "Peace" From Knowing Evil Is Evil

By Killing Peace 

Which Brings Peace To Evil

By Exposing Evil

Who Needs Peace From Evil 

Who Kills Peace 

Because Evil Is Evil 

And

Knows Not Peace

Which Brings Perfect Peace ... And Rest!!

What He Said!

So What Have We Gleaned?!

Peace From Truth Is A Sword!

Peace Is A Purity That Condemns
The Urges And Habits Of The Sin Life!

Peace Is A Lead Balloon

Among The Helium-Filled Balloons Of Sin!

Peace Is Like Clorox 

On A Warlike Black Character!

Peace Damages
Peace Cuts 

The Fabric Of Sin ...!

... Jesus' Peace Is A Sword ...!

... Which Challenges The Status Quo
Of Business As Usual
Which Upsets The Currency Of Sin
Which Destroys Satan's Ability
Another Soul
To Darkness
To Win
AND
This Does Not Sit Well With Him
AND
The Result Is ...!

... Jesus Got Killed ...!

... His Adherents Will Likewise Follow ...!

... Peace Is A Sword!

Bottom Line ...

The Word Of Truth

Doesn't

Can't 

Won't Lie!

Jesus Christ's Peace

IS

A Sword!
