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! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Trust God And Live!

Unspeakable Gift!
Indissoluble Love!
The Beloved Son Of The Father
Was Sent From Heaven Above
To Rescue The Perishing
And
To Show Almighty God's Great Care Of Those
Who Are Afar Off
And
To Draw Them To Him Near!

Sin Holds Man Captive!
The Love Of The Living God Sets Free
Those Men Who Are Willing To Let Go Of Sin
And
Let The Living God In Their Lives
Be The Almighty!

Jesus Christ
Became A Man
And
Performed A Servant's Work!
He Became A Living Sacrifice
And
He, Himself, Now 

Performs
The High Priest's Work!

Jesus Christ
Shrouded His Divinity In Humanity
In A Bond
That Cannot Broken Be!
He Was Tempted
- Just As All Men Are -
But
Never Sinned
Thus Showing Us That We 

From Sin
Can Forever Be Free!

Jesus Christ

Used No Supernatural Power
To Overcome The Scourge Of The Earth!
He Accepted What His Father Gave Unto Him

Which Is 

The True And Holy Word:

Get Thee Hence, Satan! 

It Is Written ...! 

Worship God! 

Know This ...

Bread For The Belly Is Not Everything!
Everything Is In The Holy Word!

If Man Will Believe That He Has A Creator
Who For His Eternal Prosperity
Has Covenanted

And
Ratified
The Provision Made
He Will Truly Walk
On An Elevated Plane
And
Not Roll In The Dirt
With A Scheming
Lying
Murdering 

Damned-For-Eternity Fake!

Almighty God Is Good!
Dying Satan Is Very Bad!

Sinful Man Alone Is Truly Weak!
Almighty God With Repentant Man
Makes Raging Satan Angry And Really Sad!

Warning ...

Please Do Not Permit
The Simplicity Of Salvation

Espoused In The Gospel Story To Fool You!
Almighty God Sacrificially Loves You!
Dying Satan 

- With Cruel Hatred -

Intensely Hates You!

Understand This ...

By Almighty God

We Are Tested And Tried!

Our Characters Are Perfected In Trial
And
Permitting Satan
To Offer Us The Easy Life
Is 

Setting Us Up
To Absolutely And Explosively Fail
When Comes The Final Strife

And

There Will Be No Hope, Then, Of

Eternal Life!

Fact ...

A Butterfly Is Not Helped
When
By Man's Hand
It Is Released From Its Cocoon
And
A Man Is Not Blessed
By Having A Mile-Long 

Living Room

Dining Room

Bathroom

Bedroom!

Another Fact ...

A Little ... With Contentment
- In The Care Of The True And Living God -
Yields Heavenly Gains

But

A Lot ... With Strife And Contentions
Wearies The Soul
And
Makes The Discontented One 

The Lord's Name Profane!

Warning ...

Don't Live By Eye!
Don't Eat To Be Drunk
And
Don't Wallow In The Cesspit
For
You Will Smell Of The Skunk!

Trust Almighty God Now

And

Live With Almighty God Forever

Later!

The Character Of Our Lives ...!

Will The Fabric Of Your Character
Stand
Under The Test Of Trial Or
Will The Shaking Up And Down Of Stress
The Pull And Push To Acquire Things
That Don't Bless
Cause You
To Become A Decidedly Immoral Mess
AND
Leave You A Failure
One Who Does Not God's Kingdom Bless
Because You Refused
To Less Go Of Self
AND
Chose Instead
With Self-Confidence
AND
Self-Actualization
To Run Your Own Show!?!
Unrepentant Sinners Do Not Upward Grow!

If You Were A Piece Of Fabric
Getting Pulled Upon
From Every Side
Would You Shear Out In The Middle
Tear Off At The Corners

AND

Unravel On The Edges

OR
Would You Be Submerged In Christ Jesus
AND

Hidden In His Love

AND
Made Strong In And By Your Weakness For Him
All The While Longing
For The Courts Above?!
Your Soul In Jesus Christ's Hand
Is Securely Held By Heavenly Love!

If You Were An Old Wine Bottle
Ravaged By Sin
- Without And Within -
Would You Be Willing
To Set Aside Self

AND
Become A New Creature In Christ
AND THEREBY

Cause All Old Things
Ways
Attitudes
Expectations
Desires
Habits
Behaviors
To Pass Away
So That All Things
In Your Life
Are Permitted
To Become New?!
Beautiful
Is The Heavenly View!

Recognising Your Need

Would You Visit
The Infinite Fund Of Moral Courage
Provided Free
To All Who Believe That Jesus Is The God Of All

AND

The One In Whom We Live And Breathe

AND
Who Will Mold Us And Remake Us
In The Blessed Image Of Himself
So That We May Approach Unto Our Father God
Unafraid
AND
Be Forever Blessed?!

Are You A Reformed Sinner
Walking
As A New Saint
BUT
Holding Consort With Friends Of The Devil
Yet Saying
They Cannot Your Soul Taint?!
You're Going To Faint!

Let It Be Made Known ...

Only Those Who Agree Walk Together! 

Practising Sinners And God's Saints 

Cannot Inhabit The Same Space Successfully!
Do You Know The One With Whom You're Walking?
Is Their Heart Right With God?!
Are You Really Walking Right With Jesus Christ The Lord?!

Please Look Inside
AND
In The Holy Jesus Confide!

Truth In The Inward Parts
Is

The Message To Be Conveyed
So Please Do Not Let The Lord Who Paid Your Price
Be Betrayed
By The Known Demonic Device!
Playing With Sinners
Is

Playing With Trick Dice!

A Little Sin
Like A Little Lie
Like A Little Fire
A Little Bit Of Gossip
A Little Walk On The Wild Side
A Little Drink Your Frayed Nerves To Hide
Brings Into Your Life
My Life
Our Lives
Trouble Not Wanted
Problems Hard To Solve
Sorrow Most Heavy!

Sin Is The Never Satisfied Tax Levy! 

Brethren,

Let's Just Heed The Salvation Call!

Jesus Saves!

Jesus Helps! 

Jesus Seals! 

Jesus Christ

Is First!!
Is Last!
Let's Please Let Him Be Our Confidence
AND
We Shall Old Satan Outwit
Outclass
AND
Outlast!

Let's Outlaw The Liar!
Let's Imbibe Faith!
Let's Walk On Wheels Of Trust And Truth
AND

Stay ... On The Straight And Narrow Path!

Blessings Await The Faithful ... Today!

Own-Sin Pay

Is Not On Our Schedule Today

Nor Any Other Day!

Jesus Christ Is The Only Way!

Get Ye Hence, I Beseech You

To The Upward Way!

HAPPY SABBATH + MERCY: Almighty God's Multitude!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Let Me Glory In You!

Carnal Man Tames The Lion
The Elephant
The Whale
The Snake
BUT
No Carnal Man Can Tame The Tongue
AND
With Wild Laughter At This Irony
That Wicked Satan Does Shake!

400 Pound Lion ... Tamed!
7 Ton Elephant ... Tamed!
1300 Pound Brown Bear ... Tamed!
9,000 Pound Whale ... Tamed
But
The Less Than Three Ounce Tiny Tongue Of Man
Is 

As Free As A Bird

AND
Ignited By A Brand From The Willful-Goat Herd
AND
Gleefully Sets Fires Ad Nauseum
AND
Has Tremendous Fun 

Fitfully Stirring Them!

Tiny Tongue Lives In The Terrible Twos!
Tiny Tongue Loves His Glittering Red Shoes!
Tiny Tongue Goes Where Giants Fear To Thread
AND
Holy Angels Won't
AND
Tiny Tongue Is Boss
In The Unregenerated Soul
Until It Is Known That The Body Is Dead!
That Is Dread!

Tiny Tongue Talks Terrible Things Every Day!
Tiny Tongue Plays In Traffic
No Matter What The Head Man Done Say!
Tiny Tongue Is A Tyrant
A Tease
A Tester
A Trip

AND
Tiny Tongue Is A Molester
AND
In Guacamole Parties
He Always Double Dips His Chips!

Maaaaan ...

He Got Bare Lip
AND
He Can't Even Walk!
He Got More Guts Than A Goat
AND
He Does Make Philosophers Choke!

He Does Talk Forward
Froward
AND
Often Acts Facetious, Too!

Bad Talk Is Tiny Tongue's Good For-Profit Business!
He Always Got Fat In The Fire To Check!

AND
He Always Has Something To Collect!

BUT ...

Those Who've Been Bitten
Bullied
Blistered
AND
Blasted By Tiny Tongue
Have Humbly Repaired Unto The Lord
AND
Have Given Unto The Master
Full Control Of That Miscreant
Who Blesses The Living God
AND
Curses His Fellow Man
For He Has Been Activated By 

The Consummate Fraud!

Tiny Tongue Don't Need No Trigger!
Tiny Tongue Does A One, Two, Three
Hit!
Bliss!
What Fun!!

AND
He Runs The Race Before The Sound Of

The Starter's Gun!

Tiny Tongue Is A Scoundrel!
A Rouge ... With A Brogue
AND
His Best Performance
Comes On Flash-Back Day
When He Fetches Up His Guts
AND
Shares Fresh Blows!

Around An Unleashed Tiny Tongue

You'd Better Be On Your Toes

For, Invariably

He Puts On A Spectacular Show!

News Flash ...

There Is Hope For Tiny Tongue!
There Is Help From The Master
For
In The Multitude Of His Mercy ...!

... Wait Up, Bub!
How Can There Be A "Multitude" Of A Mercy!?!

I Never Said "A" Mercy!
I Said HIS Mercy!

I Get It ... I Don't Got It!

Who Is God?!
Able!

What Is God?!
All Seeing!
All Knowing!
Ever Present!

Where Is God?!
Available!

What Is Mercy!
Free!

Free To Whom?!
All!

In Earth Speak
When Some Thing Is Free To All Takers
What Is The Usual Reason?!

There Is Abundance!

It Is Allegedly Something Good!
It Supposed Does Something Good!

It Is Reportedly Good For The Takers!

It Is Proclaimed That Those Who Miss Out
On This Good Thing Will Have Regret!

And ...

Those Who Get The Good
Glean The Goodness
Share The Story
AND

It Lauds The Originator
Spreading Glory ...!

... Wait A Minute!
Minus The Alleged And The Supposed
This Is About The Gospel Story
The Good News Story ...!

... We Get The Good
AND
Almighty God Gets The Glory!

So What You Are Really Telling Is

Almighty God Is Eternal
In Every Place And Time
So, Therefore
His MERCY
Is One AND Eternal
AND
Is Available To Fix
What Ever
Why Ever
Where Ever
When Ever
For
Who Ever
If And
And Because!
Right! ?!

Hole In One! 

Absolutely!

Remember
That Almighty God Has Ways To Save Us
That We Don't Know Anything About!

We Surely Need Him
To Save Us From Tiny Tongue!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Here Is My Tiny Tongue

Starting Fires

Creating Strife All Around!

I Beseech You, Lord 

In The Name Of Christ The Righteous

Who Purchased My Pardon

Which Gives Me Access To Thee

Please

Send The Angel

With The Golden Tongs

With A Coal From Heaven's Altar

To Cleanse My Now-Wicked Tiny Tongue

To Cause Him To Speak Right

To Sing Praise

To Utter Truth

And

To Get Us Out Of Waiting Disaster!

Your Mercy, Lord

Frees And Changes Me! 

Your Mercy Feeds And Blesses Me! 

Your Mercy Clothes And Sanctifies Me!

Your Mercy, Free

Fills

Fortifies

And

Causes Me

To Fruitful Be!

Lord, 

Let Me Glory In You!

Let Your Glory 

Your Character

Your Goodness

Give Me Victory Over Sin

So That Others May See

Your Glory

Shining From My Face

And

Desire To Be Like Christ

And

Take Up In Heaven

Their Own Prepared By Christ

Personal Place!

AMEN!!!

Who Would Think
That A Tiny Tongue
Could Wield Such Power?!
Could Keep One Out Of Heaven!
Could Cast One Into Hell Fire?!

That's An Irony If I Even Know
What An Irony Is!

Hear The Story Now ...

Tiny Tongue
- Known Lit By The Fires Of Hell -
Lit A Fire That Caused His Neighbor
AND
His Own Head, Hell
AND
Was Immolated By His Own Fire!
He Burned Like Hell!

Sad, Sad, Sad!

Yes ... But ...!

... I'm Taking Up Almighty God's Offer ...!

... His Multitude Of Mercy
Is Free
Free To Me
Good For Me
AND
Available To Every Body!

God's Free Mercy Streameth

Over All The World

And

Tongues Unregenerated

Can Fall Upon It

And Be Cured! 

No Sin Too Small Nor Too Grand

Can Fail

Fail Of Finding Help

And, So

I Tell You, Brethren

Give Almighty God's Mercy

Your Necessary And Utmost Respect!

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

Almighty God's Mercy Saves Sinners!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Yes! It Is Jesus Christ The Lord! + PRAYER: Your Promise Is Your Word, Lord!

Jesus Christ Gave His Life For Me!
I Give My Heart To Him
AND

I Beseech Him That He Not Permit Anything

In My Life
Ever Again
To Keep Us Apart!

Lord, I Give My Will To Thee!

I Want To Touch My Lord's Hands!
I Want To Kiss His Feet!
I Want To Listen To His Heart!
AND

Say To Him
Will All My Love, Singing:

Holy, Thou Art!

I Think On Him
AND

Smile Outside ... Within
When I Recognize Accept Believe
That
He Is My Creator
Redeemer Friend
Sanctifier Justifier
Provider Sustainer
Glorifier Immortalizer
Teacher Prophet
Priest King
Helper Healer
Sealer Greeter

I Can't Outlive Him!
I Don't Want To Forever Die!

I Can't Escape Him!
I Want To Live In His Home!
He Is Everywhere Present!
I Am Not Alone!

Why Should I Doubt Him?!
He Is Truth!

Why Should I Ignore Him?
He's Been Ever With Me Constant
Even Before I Had A Tooth!

When I Start To Be Sad
In His Love
I Am Made Glad! 

When For Sin I Am Sorry
He Takes Away My Consuming Worry!

I Think!
He Made My Brain!

I Cry!
He Made Water! 

I Eat!
He Made Food!

I Am To Die!
In Him, I Am Made Alive!

He Carried The Cross!
His Love For Me Fixed Him Upon It!

He Laid In Death's Cold Grave!
His Love For Me Got Him Out Of It!

He Is In Heaven - For Me - Interceding!
Victory Over Sin
IS 

The Song In Which My Faith In Him Is Leading!

His Goodness Gives Me Mercy!
His Mercy Gives Me Grace!
My Gratitude Takes That Grace In Hand
Sure
That There Will Be A Feast
AND

A Place 

Prepared For Believing-Me
In Heaven's Table Land!

With His Blessing

I Will Not His Name Again Disgrace!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Keep Me Faithful

Enduring Trusting

Working True

So That In The Day Appointed

I Shall Rise Up

To Go Up

To Holy Heaven

To Live Forever With You!

Remember My Brethren

Those Near And Those Far

For Whom The Wide Door Of Mercy 

Is Still Standing Ajar!

Keep Them In Your Care, Lord! 

Provide For Each According To Need

Feed Them

And

Call Them Out From Walking Vainly Behind

Sinful Men's Entangling Useless Creeds!

Your Promise Is Your Word, Lord!

The World Destroying Flood!

You Are

You Were

Is 

That Dying In You

I Shall Rise To Be With You

To Spend

The Never-Ending Day!

I Believe You! 

Take Away From Me

All Traces Of Unbelief

And

Help Me Ever, Always

To Deny Satan

That Vile Liar

The Known Salvation Thief!

You Are The Omnipotent God Able!

I Love You, My Lord!

Have Mercy And Bless

And

Please Come Soon! 

AMEN!

CLUB OF INDULGENCE: No Value In Virtue?!

Rejecting Reproof
Had Amassed A Substantial "Fortune"
Rolling The Dice Of Self-Deceit
In The High Roller Haven
Club Of Indulgence!

He Is Right Now Headed
- Self-Righteously -
For Loss Of The Soul
That Dale Of The Damned
The No-Come-Back-From Land!

This State Of His Affairs
Was Long In Coming
BUT
Inevitable
BECAUSE
He Considered His Objectionable Traits Of Character
- Penchant For Perjury, Ignoble Deeds Etc. -
Attributes To Be Cultivated
AND

Admired!

He Roundly Despised Being
Reproved
Corrected
Directed
Chastised
BECAUSE
- As He Said -
They Stymied His Personality
Prevented Him From Being Him Self
AND
Stopped Him From Excelling!

Just So You Know...

He Is Also Given To Excess In Making Excuses!

Whoever Sought To Reign Him In
Was Called Jealous
Fault-Finding
AND
For Good Measure
Was Accused Of
Every Vile Thing Imaginable!

He Became A Lil' Satan! 

Rejecting Reproof Accused 

Accused Accused
The Brethren
AND
Refused Refused

Absotootulootly Refu-sed
From Wrong Paths
To Take The Narrow Road Called Turn-Back!

What Is Really Hurtful
Painful
Sad To See
Is That
He Has The Ability
The Skill
The Potential
To Be A Real Success
In The Service Of The Kingdom's Lord!

It Could Still Happen ...

He, Regenerated
Reformed

Faithful

AND

Enduring All Things For The Lord
Would Receive Heavenly Rewards!

I COULD Tell You That
He Is Just Satisfied With His Own Bad Attitude
Behavior
Character
AND
Was Just Walking In HIS Own Way
BUT
Alas And Alack ... I Can't!

Rejecting Reproof Started Acting ...
Well, He Wasn't Exactly Acting ...
He Started
AND
Continued Behaving
Actually Performing
Like A Plague Rat:

Scratch!

Whisper, Whisper! 

Scratch! 

Bite! 

Pee! 

Move On ...!

If You Know Anything About The Ellipsis
You Have To Know
That THAT "Move On ... !"
Actually Means
Move On To Another Victim
AND
Start. All. Over. Again 'N Again!

Rejecting Reproof Is Just Like That!
AND
To Prove It
He Roundly Despises
Denigrates
Disapproves Of
True Honest
Just Pure
AND
Lovely
AND
Poisonously Hates That One Called Good Report
AND
Finds No Value In Virtue
AND
Wants No Poor Man's Praise
AND
When Called To Account
Emphatically States:

These are Not Things That I Choose To Think About!

He Lives On Boardwalk Own Way!
He Prefixes Every Comment Of Gravitas With:

I AM ...!"

He Refuses To "Take A Knee!" In Contrition
Or For Repentance
AND
Cannot Visualize
The Profit In Prayer

Nor The Prize For Purity
So
Don't Try To Paint Him Any Picture!

He Does Not Care!

Well ...

I Shall Here Say:

Today Fuh Me! 

Tomorrow Fuh You!

Every Day Got A 4 o'clock

AND 

Every Pig Got Sa'rday Mornin'!

Comeuppance Is Coming
AND
No Matter How Slow 'e Roll
He Ain't No Way Never Late!
Whenever He Arrives
He IS On Time!

Oh-Oh!

Don't Look Now
BUT
He's Heeere!

A Word Of Warning:

The Stone That The Builder Rejects
Is Become The Cornerstone
Aka
The Correction That You Reject
Is The Very One That Will Save Your Life!

Jesus Christ Was Not Comely
BUT
His Message Of Salvation Says:

Come Ye ...!

Need I Say More?!
