HAPPY SABBATH + HAVE FAITH IN GOD: "Pastor Said!" Ain't The Word Of God!









Have Faith In God
Father Son And Holy Spirit! 

Have Faith In God: 
The Race Is Not For The Swift 
But For Those Running To Win It! 

Have Faith In God: 
He Gives Unto You His Holy Faith
So Use It! 
Have Faith, Dear Ones, In God! 

Many Are The Urgent Calls To Idol-Worship
To Live By "Personal-Truth" 
And 
To Rise By Self-Elevation 
But
These All Lead To Disillusionment
Disappointment
Sorrow And Despair
And 
Cause The Straying One To Hesitate
And
Look Back 
When One Should Ever Look Unto Jesus Christ 
And 
Sue For Peace 
And 
To Receive His Gift Of New Life! 

Beloved, 

Peace Is Precious!
Faith Is Free!
Grace Is Available 
And 
Mercy Washes Over Me And Thee! 

Please Don't Be Complacent
Proud Or Don't Care-ish 
And
Don't Follow The Multitude 
Looking To Three-Step Plans 
To Get Miracles In Your Sleep 
Or Depend On What "Pastor Said" 
When It Is Jesus Christ, Alone
Who Causes Your Heart Constantly To Beat! 

Pride Goes Before The Fall! 
Hate Turns You Into A Murderer! 
Jesus Christ's Truth 
Sets Men Women And Children Free 
And
It Is Our Duty
For Love
Because 
Of Certain Hope That 
We Should Walk Before Him Softly ... Humbly! 

From Sin And Sinning
Beat A Hasty Retreat!

HOPE-LESS: Hope-Field, Hope-Well



Pin on Saved by Grace


Life Being Happy And Beautiful 
Or
Sad And Ugly 
Mightily Depends On Accepting 
And 
Liberally Using That 
Free-To-All Gift From Our Almighty God Called 
Hope! 

Are You Living With Hope!?!

People Are Quick To Talk About Hope-Field
Hope-Well
Hope-Less 
And 
What-Hope
And
Completely Miss The Certain Hope That 
Is 
In Jesus Christ! 

Hope 
Is 
A Field Of Ever-Blooming Flowers 
Near The Hope Well Of Sweet Water Of Truth That 
Instructs Us 
To Hope Less In The Weak Arm That Is Man 
And 
Hope More In The Strong 
And 
Unfailing Arm Of Our Great And Eternal 
Helpful God Of Hope 
Who Sacrificially Loves Each Of Us
Personally And Intimately! 

A Life Lived Without Hope ... Without Christ
Is 
A Personally-Engineered Train-Wreck 
On A Self-Sabotaged Train-Track 
With Satan As The Repair Line-Man! 
Hopeless ... Is Such A Life! 

All Good Gifts 
Are Given By Our Savior Who Says To All: 
Ask ... And Receive! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

An Unopened Gift
Is 
Useless! 
An Improperly-Used Gift 
Is 
An Accident Waiting To Happen 
And
The Gift Not Picked Up 
Is 
Not Yours 
And Is 
Forfeited! 

Beloved,

A True Christian Of The Book 
Lives A Hope-Filled Life 
Because 
We Know How The Story 
And
This Life Ends! 

Hope 
Is 
A Living Tree: 
Hope In God 
And 
Live With Joy Everlasting! 

Jesus Christ's Peace
Is 
Perfect And Precious!!!

CERTAIN HOPE: Risk!?! This Is Reward!


... The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones Learnt By Bitter Experience

And

The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones You Don't Have To Pay To Learn!

Come On, Man!

That Is Impossible!
Both Reasons Can't Be The Best!

If Something Is The Best
It Is The Only One!
Get Your Story Straight!

May I Say That
If You Had Chosen To Listen 
Until The Very End Of My Presentation
You Would Have Heard Me Say The Following:

One Lesson Is Learnt Best
Through The Payment For Disobedience

And

One Lesson Is Learnt By Choosing To Obey
Because
The One Who Made The Rule, Regulation
Law, Commandment
Is 
Appreciated ... Trusted
Believed ... Honored ... Worshipped!
He Is Your God Holy
And
In Your Eyes
His Word Is Sacrosanct ... Sufficient!

I Made My Binding Decision
First, Because Of Self-Induced, Bitter, Personal, Experience: 
I Found Out That His Way Was Better
And
Then, Finally
Because Of Love And Gratitude
And
Obvious, Identified, Present And Future Gain:
His Reasons Why I Should Follow Him Proved Better For Me
Than My Doing What Felt Good To Me!

I Attended Both "Public" Schools
And
By Exercising My Free Will
And
Utilizing My Free Choice
I, Being Wiser
Chose ... Choose ... To Believe The Eternal God
Who Wrote A Personal Letter To Me
On The Parchment Of His Perfect Life
Written With Ink Made Of His Innocent Blood
With The Pen Made Of His Redeeming Love
Carved By His Holy Light
To Give Me A Certain Hope Provided By 
His Personal Sacrifice 
To Give Me A Forever Home In His House
In The Living, Unshakeable, Kingdom Of Almighty God!

I Trust The Lord: He Is Faithful!
I Trusted The Lord: He Is Truthful!
I Am Trusting In The Lord: He Is Reliable!

The Lord Is My God: He Is Trust-Worthy
Dependable
Constant
And
Unchanging
And
He Is My Rock
My Defense
My Only Hope!
He Helps And He Heals!
He Seals And He Reveals
So, Because Of His Unfailing Grace To Me
Whereby I Obtain Mercy
And
Pardon And Cleansing
For Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
I Completely Trust Jesus Christ The Lord ...!

... Our Soon-Returning King!

Serving The Lord Abundantly Pays
And 
Any "Risks" That I Take
By Faithfully, Enduringly, Following Him
Amounts To ... Results In ... Reward!
I Can't Say The Same About Following Satan
The Known God-Fraud!

Indeed!

Jesus Christ Is Creator
Savior And Redeemer
Provider And Sustainer
And Ever True And Faithful
Loving, Blessing, Giving And Forgiving!

He Is Not A Fraud!
He Is Almighty God!

Never Again To See Strife!

The Son Of Man
IS
The Son Of God ... FIRST
AND
It Is He
Who Created The Stellar Universe!

The King Of Love
IS
Love ... FIRST
AND
It Is He
Who Will Love Us Out From Under The Curse!

The Good Shepherd
IS
The Lamb Slain ... From The Foundation Of The Earth
AND
It Is He
Who Paid With Innocent Blood To Have Man's Curse Reversed!

The Prince Of Peace
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Blessing God
The Merciful One Who Gives Saving Grace
IS
The Very One
From Whom We Get Faith
To Have Faith In Him
AND
He Is The One
Who Took My Disgrace (Yours, Too)
To Give Me In Almighty God's Heaven
A Sure And Secure
Personal Dwelling Place!

I Long To See Your Face, Lord!
Lovely, You Are To Me!
I Long To Touch Your Hand, Lord!
You Who Made Humanity!
I Long To Get Home To You, Lord
The Designer
Creator ... Supreme
So That I
Dead To Carnal Life
And
Living To See Eternal Life
May Rise Up To Live With You
In Perfect Peace
For All Eternity
Never Again To See Strife!


Holy Is The Almighty God!
He Is Faithful ... Unlike The Marauding Fraud!
He Is The Helpful And The Giving, Blessing God
AND
Where He Is
Is My Home
AND
He Is My Heart's Treasure
The One For Whom I Turn From Earthly Pleasure
Because
I Desire To Be Like Jesus The Christ
AND
With Him
- In His Haven Of Rest -
Live Together Forever!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER : Lord, Help Me To Keep Oil For My Lamp





In This Hour, Lord
My Heart To You
Is Thankful!

I Can See!
I Can Hear!
I Can Feel!
I Can Taste!
I Can Touch!
Thank You, Lord!
Thank You!


Father,
I Deny The Bold Liar
And
His Flagrant Lies

And
By Your Saving Grace
I Know That I Will Escape 
Damnation's Hellish Fire

For To Christ Jesus
My Heart Is Tied!
Thank You, Lord!
Thank You!


I Reject The Thing Evil
And
I Accept That Which Is Good

And
I Choose Not To Cast Down
Truth In The Street

And
I Choose
- With The Blessing Of Faith -
To My Brethren
To Do Good!


Help Me, Lord
Your Name
Your Character
Not To Disgrace
By Calling Only Those
With My Own Blood
Color
Ethnicity
Or Speech
Brethren

Because We Inhabit The Same Space!

Help Me, Please

I Beseech You
To Acknowledge The Truth In The Gospel
That My Brethren Is
My Fellow Man
- God's Property -

Who Is
The Brother
The Sister
The Other One Out There
To Whom My Hand
- In The Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ -
Can Extend The Touch Of Care!


You Touch Me, Lord! 
I Sing Your Praise! 
You Heal Me, Lord
In Ways I Can't Begin To Count! 
You Lift Me Up In Ways, Lord
That Are Truly Profound! 
Help Me, Lord
Help Me
From The Gospel Of Truth Plow
Not To Cast Out
Nor Turn Around!


I Am Not Discouraged, Lord
By The Loudly Sounding Chimes
That Spell Out
The Heady Times Of Man

And
The Coming Time Of The Harvesting Hand
But
Lest We Forget
That Every Day Has A Noon

And
A Night
Remind Us, Lord
Teach Us
The Bridegroom Cometh At Midnight

And
We Need Seeing And Bright Light!


Help Us To Keep Our Lamps Trimmed
And
Help Us To Have The Oil Ready
E'er The Call Comes:


"The Bridegroom Cometh!
Go Ye Out To Meet Him
Light Your Lamp!
Shine Your Light!"


Father,
Most Holy
Thou Faithful One
Kind True
I Beseech You
Keep Me Faithful
And 

Wholly True To You!

In Certain Hope, Lord
I'm Waiting For The Beloved Son 

Who Paid My Bride-Price
Who Has Built Me A Home
And
Has Furnished To Me
The Perfect Wedding Garment!
Help Me!
Help Me, Please
To Keep My Garment Unto The Bright Day
Spotless And Clean!


Father,
I Have In My Heart
My Copy Of The Covenant Of Love
Signed
In The Beloved's Innocent Blood
And
I Am Pleading With You, Father
To Keep Me Faithful
To The Promise
To Walk In Accord
With My Beloved Savior
Until
Unto
And On Into
The Courts Above!


I Desire To See My Jesus!
I Desire To See
To Receive My Jesus
In Blessed Peace!
I Have No Desire
From The Presence
To The Rocks And Hills To Flee
And So, Lord
I Give Unto You
My Self
My Will
And
My Way
And
Ask You To Accept My Little Mite
My Poor Offering
As I Reach Out To You
In Humble
Truthful
Earnest
Importunate Prayer!


I Love You! 
I Bless You! 
I Thank You For The Holy Spirit's Comfort
And
The Angelic Protection
And Influence Each Day
And
I Plead
For The Hastening Of The Day
So That
I Can See My Lord
Face To Faith
Face To Face!


Remember The Faithful
Profitable Servants
And
The Watchmen On The Wall
Who Give The Warning Trumpet
That Certain Sound That Says:


"Heed The Call!
Heed The Call!"


Remember The Holy People
With Mercy
And
In Pitying Love

Please Send One More Call Out
To Those Blind Ones 
Who Unwittingly Harken To The Fables
Propagated
By Those Pharisaical Preachers
Teachers
Who Love Money
Power And Position
More Than They Care For The Souls Of
Hurting Seeking-Truth Men! 

The Shepherds  Have Lost Their First Love!

In The Living Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Plead And Offer Up
My Prayer And These Few Petitions!
Help Us, Lord!
Grant Us Your Peace
And

The Very Much Needed Blessed Relief
Sin Release! 
AMEN.

BUT: God Can ...!





Man May Dwell In Tranquil Safety
IF
He Will To The Living God
Pledge Fealty!
This Indeed
Is A Necessity
IF
He Will Avoid
The Fiery Calamity!

Man Cannot
Of Himself
Provide Peace And Security
Because
In Himself
He Has The Evil Propensity
Which Causes Him
In His Wicked Heart
To Live A Life Avidly Leaning 
Toward Criminality
Which
- Unchecked -
Leads To God's Dread Judgment Of 
Death With Finality!

Man Commits Murder!
Politicians Perjure!
Priests Are Pedophiles!
Mommies Commit Infanticide!
Parents Commit Murder-Suicide!
Children Commit Patricide
AND
Matricide!
Brethren Commit Fratricide!
Statesmen Legalize Government-Assisted Suicide!
Teachers Turn Tricks With Teens!
Poor People And Old People
Get Hit With Big Sticks
AND
Ordinary Citizens Get Abused By Just Opening
Their Own Front Door
So That Sadistic Men Can Adore 
The Quick Score!

But ... God
In His Mercy
Has
For Man
Made A Clear Way!
Reach Out To Jesus
IS
The Only Way
For Humans
To Get Right
To Walk Right
To Avoid The Dark Night
To Return To The Heavenly Father
AND
In The Great Day
To Enter The Rest Home
Where There Is
No Sorrow
No Sadness
No Death
No Tears
To Sickness
No Suffering
For
Old Things Will Have Passed Away!

We Shall Have
New Hearts
New Bodies
New Clothes
New Names
New Homes
New Abilities
AND
New Places Called Amazing To Explore
AND
To Know!

And ... Wonderfully

Face To Face With Christ Jesus
We Shall Know 
Even As We Are Known
For
We Shall Be Touching The Hand
That Was Marred
AND
Permanently Marked
AND
That Bled For Us
AND
See Plainly
The Thorn-Scarred Brow
AND
Behold The Feet
That Stood Up
For Us
So That We Would Not
Be Forever Cast Down!

We Shall Be
Hearing From
Singing To
Praising
AND
Loving The Lover
Who Loved Us The Best
AND
Blessing The Savior
Whose Sacrifice Was The Sweet Savor
In The Nostrils
Of The Holy God
Who Can Consume
AND
Who Does Bless!

God Will Bless The Believers!
God Will Curse The Disbelievers!
God Will Destroy 
All Those Unrepentant
Who Practice To Deceive
BUT
For Now
God's Grace Is Still Available
To All Who Will Kill
The Sin-Sow!

Mercy Is Still On God's Table
BUT
Time Is Running Out
For Us To Choose Salvation
OR
To Be Rabidly False
AND
To Self
Sin
AND
Sinning
- Remaining Enamored -
Cleave
Preferring
To Be Eternally Deceived!

Almighty God IS Ever True!
Man IS Always A Liar!
God - If Trusted -
Will Eternally
Take Care Of You
AND
That IS The Guarantee
Upon Which You May Daily Feed!
Please ... LET THE LIVING GOD LEAD!


So As Not Be Sorry
Later
Trust The Living God
Now
To Truly Live
Now!
