Don't Indulge The Mentality Of The "Heard!"

There Is A Road Called The Way Home 

Which Is Divided Into Three Parts! 

If The Blessed-Forever Children Of The True And Living God 

Stay In The Middle Of The Road

They Will Be Confidently Walking In The Truth Of Him Who 

Is 

The Word Of God

The Open Door! 

If We Stray To The Right Of Center

We Will Find And Will Be Following Contradiction 

And 

Be Tied Up In Satan's "Nots" 

Which Are Only Severable By The Sword Of The Savior 

Aka The Word Who Is The Truth! 

If We Stray To The Left Of Center

We Will Be Found To Be Following Error 

Aka "Truth" With Black Dots 

Which Says A Lot Of Nothing And Gives Most People The Hots! 

Beloved, 

Are You On The Road!?! 

Do You Know What You Are Following, And Why!?! 

Which Do You Love

Or Are In Love With

Or Are Excited By 

And

Are With Conviction Sharing: 

Truth, Error, Or Contradiction!?! 

Would It Even Bother You If You Found Out That 

You Are Not Now Following The Truth!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Holy Spirit 

Is 

Available And Ever Ready To Lead Us

Lead You

Lead Me

Into All Truth ... No Gaps! 

Let Us This Day Choose To Be Wise For Our Selves

For Our Own Soul's Salvation

And 

Let The Holy Spirit Do His Saving Work In And On Us! 

Don't Indulge The Mentality Of The "Heard:"

Know The Truth 

And 

Do What Is Right! 

The Eternity Of Peace Is Up Ahead! 

Peace!

Ask And Receive!

The Lord God Almighty Gives Good Gifts To Those 

Who Humbly Wait Upon Him Patiently! 

Let Us Enduringly Wait Upon Him To Receive 

The Gift Unimaginable

The Gift With No Sorrow

The Gift That Keeps Giving

The Gift That Blesses Us 

And

Blesses Us To Substantially Bless Others! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Be Like The Excited Child In The Car 

On A Long Journey To Expected Joy 

Asking The Question: 

"Are We There Yet!?!" 

Aka 

"Is My Blessing Ready Yet!?! 

May I Have My Blessing Now!?!" 

... And Let Us Repeat Ad Nauseum: 

"I Need A Blessing Now! 

My God Has A Blessing For Me And How! 

I Will Be Blessed And Saved! 

For Me, Jesus Christ My King Got Up From The Grave! 

I Am Waiting On My Gracious Lord Who Saves! 

Soon, Soon, All Will Be Glory Days! 

I Am Waiting On My Lord Because I Know That He Utterly Saves! 

He Is God Almighty And He Cannot, Ever, My Love Fail 

Because His Heart Is Inclined Toward Me Always!" 

Dear Ones, 

None Of This Is Possible Without Childlike Faith! 

We Diligently Pray: 

"Our Father, Who Art In Heaven!" 

Since Our Father Is In Heaven

Then We Are His Children! 

Will You, Therefore, Release Your Contrary Adult 

And 

Be Cleansed To Be The Loving, Obedient, Child Of God Today!?! 

There Will Be No Impatient, Uncultured, Ungovernable

Discontented, Angry Adults In Heaven! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

Bow The Knee

 

When We Were Children 

And

For Whatever Reason 

We Had Been Caused To Suffer A Chastisement 

And

Showed Our Grand Displeasure At 

"The Injustice Of It All!" 

The Elders Had The Perfect Riposte For Us:

"Fix Your Face

Or I Will Fix It For You!"

Oh, The Horror! 

Now Can You Imagine That We ... Mere Mortals

Have The Temerity To Want To Tell Our Maker

Lord, God, King 

And

Judge 

To Fix His Face When He Has Just Cause 

To Chastise Us For Our Base Folly!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are A Hard-Headed People 

Who Dare To Tempt The Lord! 

Have You Considered What Would Happen To Us 

If 

The Lord Of Life Caused Us To Feel 

The Dread Effects Of His Hot Displeasure!?! 

There Is Nothing That Our Lord Christ Does That 

Is 

Done In Vain! 

The Lord Chastises His Children 

And

If For Some Strange Reason 

You Are Walking Wild And Unfettered

You May Want To Check Your Birth Certificate 

Because 

The Lord Chastises Those Whom He Loves

Aka His Children! 

No Chastisement 

Means You're A Bastard Child 

And

As Such That Means That 

You Have No Inheritance 

Or Right To An Inheritance 

With The Family Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

We Owe The Lord Everything 

So Let Us Be Wise 

And

Permit The Lord Christ To Direct Our Paths!

We Did Not Make Ourselves

And

We Cannot Save Ourselves! 

Humble Pie Tastes Better Than Dirty Pudding! 

Bow The Knee! 

Peace!

Stop Eating Swine's Food!

Many Of Us Live With The Hope For Glory 

But Not 

The Blessed Hope That 

Leads To The Kind Of Glory That 

Transports Us To Everlasting Life! 

Where, Why

When Did We Go Astraying After The Scraps That 

Swine Gladly Eat Instead Of Eating From 

The Kind And Faithful King's Table Of Good And Plenty!?! 

Was It On The Day You Were Bypassed 

For What You Thought Was Your Just Due 

Or 

Perhaps It Was The Day That 

Your Pride Overcame Your Common-Sense 

And 

You Started Walking On Satan's Enchanted Ground Of 

Smoke And Mirrors!?! 

Beloved, 

Only Those Who Walk In The Will Of God 

Are The Children Of God

And

The Blessed And Beloved Brethren Of Our Lord Christ! 

We Will Not Be Bountifully Blessed 

And 

Eternally Saved

If

We Just Have And Use The Family's Name 

But

Do Not Possess Jesus Christ's Pure And Holy Character!

 

Brethren, Beloved

Since We Are Using The Name Above All Names

Let Us Diligently Seek 

To Assimilate The Character That Creates Us Anew! 

Let Us Not Be Among Those Accused Of False Pretenses 

And 

Charged With Using Bogus Identity Papers! 

Let Us Choose To Walk The Talk

Live The Life

Carry The Cross

And 

Do The Duty 

So As Not To Suffer Eternal Loss! 

Think About It ...

Carnal Things Are Temporal

But 

Christ's Free Salvation 

Is 

Eternal! 

Do Your Due Diligence 

And 

Let The Name Of Christ 

Become Your Nature In Christ! 

Peace With The Living God Is Free

So Dare To Diligently Pray Without Ceasing! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Make Wrong Things Right!

We Are Children Twice: 

Children Of The Living God By Creation 

And 

Redemption 

And

Birthed Children Of Our Earthly Parents! 

Our Parents Lovingly Desire What Is Best For Us! 

The One Thing That Our Parents Teach Us 

And 

Truly Desire That We Display 

And

We Should Of Our Own Free Will 

And

By Choice Practice 

Is

A Grateful, Thankful, Heart! 

Beloved, 

Our Heavenly Father ... In His Eternal Wisdom

Has Asked Us To Give Thanks In Everything 

Aka For Everything 

Aka Through Everything 

Aka Despite Certain Things! 

Are You A Practicing Thankful Person!?! 

Are You Remembering Your Home Training 

Where You Were Taught To Say 

"Please!" 

"Thank You!" 

"May I ....!"

"How Are You!?!"

Or

 

Are You Departed From The Good Way 

And

Are Living With The Attitude Of 

"Gimme This!" 

"I Deserve That!" 

"Why Didn't I Get The Biggest 

Best Most Expensive 

Prettiest Thingie Out There!?!" 

The Training By Our Earthly Parents Was For A Short Season 

But

The Training Received Of Our Lord Christ 

- Through The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth - 

Lasts For Our Lifetime! 

Are You Present In Class!?! 

Are You Taking In The Training!?! 

Are You Cementing Your Learning By Doing As You Are Taught!?! 

Are You A Teacher's Pet 

Or 

Are You Indulging Self 

And 

Shaming Yourself ... And Your Parents!?!

Dare To Truthfully Answer! 

Living Life

Is

An Opportunity

To Make Wrong Things Right:

Cooperate With The Lord Jesus Christ! 

HUMBLE YOURSELF: Fix Your Face And Your Attitude!

Pride 

Is 

An Ugly Emotion To Display No Matter Who You Are 

Or 

What You Supposedly Have In Your Possession 

And

It Is An Even Uglier, Deadlier, Emotion 

To Display In The Presence Of The Holy God

To Whom We Are Indebted For The Very Air That 

We Breathe To Even Live One Single, Solitary Moment! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Of Life Says To Us: 

Come Boldly And Without Ceasing 

And

By Prayer And Supplication, Pleading

Make Your Requests For Care, Comfort

Food, Friendship And The Future Home

Hope, Help And Healing

Grace, Goodness And Relief From Grief! 

With Love

The Lord Chastises Those Who Are His Very Own

And 

Our Being Angry At Almighty God 

Does Not Negate His Love Nor His Provision 

So, Please, Do Permit Pride To Stop You 

From Letting Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God 

Who Provides For You According To His Riches In Glory 

And 

Not According To Your Need! 

Please Dare To Be Humble 

No Matter Who Calls You Stupid

And

Dare To Pray Passionately 

No Matter Who Calls Our Holy God A Fairy Tale! 

Our Enduring Faith Will Be Rewarded Above All Imagining: 

Humbly Pray, Willingly Obey

And 

Ardently Press On! 

Please Watch Your Mouth

Fix Your Face

And 

Correct Your Attitude

And 

Take Your Assigned Place! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Always The Answer: 

Humility Exalts!

Choose To Walk Through

This Vale Of Tears

In Perfect Peace

With

The Prince Of Peace

Lovingly Leading!

LIVING BY FAITH: Acquiring The Heavenly Inheritance

When We Children And Thought Like Children
To Brand Ourselves

We Drew Tattoos With Ink On Our Hands
But

Now That We Are People Of The Book

We Desire The Brand That

Clearly Marks Us As Children Of God 

Purchased By The Innocent Blood Of

Jesus Christ The Righteous

The Son Of God

The Pascal Lamb

The Son Of Man!
We're Living By Faith 
As Clearly States That Very Book: 

However ...

It Is Quite The Trendy Thing 
To Hear The Unbelieving World
His Brother, Sister, Mother, Father And Best Friend 
Proudly Call Themselves The Children Of God: 
They Need To Get The Real Jesus! 

Living In Unbelief

Clearly States That One

Does Not Cooperate

With Jesus Christ!

We Also Hear "Christians" 
Who Do Not Exercise Faith
And 
Who Publicly Voice Their Doubt About Jesus Christ 
Being The Only Begotten Son Of Almighty God 
Call Themselves Children Of God: 
They Need To Rethink Their Family Connection! 

Hear The Right ...

It Is Impossible To Please God Without Faith! 
It Is Impossible To Have Faith Without Jesus! 
It Is Impossible To Be A Child Of God 
And
Get Home To The Father Without Jesus 
And
His Faith Working In Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing That We Can Do
That We Can Do Without Jesus! 
We Need Jesus To Get Faith To Trust Jesus 
And 
To Walk In Enduring Obedience 
To The Will Of Almighty God 
To Get Into A Mansion 
Prepared For Each Child Of God 
In The Family House Of The Living God Holy 
Who Knows The Thoughts 
And 
Intents Of Our Hearts! 

Living By Faith May Not Be Easy
But
It Is Truly A Necessity If We Will Be Saved!

Talk Is Cheap!
Exercising Faith Requires Discipline
And
With Constant Utilization
Trusting The Word That Cannot Fail
And
Using Our Daily Gift Of Faith For The Present Day
Relying Upon Our Lord Christ Becomes Second Nature!
We Willfully Acquire The Necessary Muscle-Memory
And
Our Faith In Our God Becomes Strong!

Trusting In The Lord Christ

When You Can't See His Hand

Is

Exercising Your Faith In Him

Which He, Himself, Gave To You!

Dare To Answer The Hard Question:

Are You Living By Faith

Forswearing Lying Eyesight

And

Really Walking As A True Child Of God? 

Remember,

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Perfect Peace
And
Where He Is, Is Home
So If You Don't Want To Lose Your Eternal Inheritance
Please See To It That 
You Use Your Daily Gift Of Faith ... Always
And
In All Ways! 

Carnal World: Friend Of God!?!

Receipt Of The Honors Of The Carnal World
Causes
The Church Corporate 
To Lose The Grace
- The Unmerited Favor -
Of Almighty God!

And

The Church That Is Boastful
Proud
And
Eager To Compete With The World
For Trifling Honors And Accolades
Is
Actively Making Herself 
The Very Enemy Of 
The Living Eternal Holy God!

When The Church
That Is ... The Members
Are Humble
Not Thinking Too Highly Of Self
Are Poor To Be Dependent Upon 
The Lord Of Life For Provision
And
Live Christ-Like Lives
Attaining Unto The Garment Of Praise
- The Character Of Christ -
It Is Then That She Is Most Powerful
And
Impervious
To The Machinations Of The Master Manipulator
And 
His Misguided Minions!

I Must Be Plain ...

Any Person Called Christian
"Faithfully" Practicing Primitive Godliness
And
Is 
Dearly Beloved
Highly Respected
Well Spoken Of
And
Is 
Unmolested By The World
Must Needs Take A Serious Look
At How They Are Emulating The Pattern
That Is, The Lord Jesus Christ!

The Truth Must Be Told ...

If We Are Friends Of The World
We Are, Decidedly
The Enemies Of The Living God!

Decisions Must Be Made ...

There Are Only Two Options
And
They Are Impossible To Skew:

• For Christ And Against Satan
• For Satan And Against Christ

Which One Do You Choose!?! 

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

I Am The Friend Of Christ Jesus!

I Walk With Him Each Day!

I Pray And Petition

I Love And I Bless

And

All My Known Sins

To My Heavenly Father

I Gladly Confess!

I Know That I Am A Sinner

A Sinner Needing The Savior

And

I Take Pleasure

By The Lord's Great Grace

To Go On A Diet

And

Rid Myself Of The Fat Of Sin

By

Delivering It Up

And

Burning It On The Altar Of Sacrifice

So That It Rises Up Unto The Lord

For A Sweet Smelling Savor!

I Deny The Liar!

I Do Not Sing In Compromises' Choir!

I Walk By Faith!

I Do Not Walk By Carnal Sight

For

It Is My Soul's Desire

My Lord God And King

Daily To Delight!

I Walk The Straight And Narrow

And

I Fight The Good Fight Of Faith

For

I Long To Live Forever

With The Lord Christ

And

Refuse To Let Damned Satan

My Eternal Prosperity To Blight!

The Promises Given Are Faithful!

The Promise-Keeper Is The God True!

The Time Of Delivery Is Certain

So

Do Not Permit Any Created Being

To Deflect Or Mamaguy You!

*****

Please Keep Our Savior

Our Redeemer

Our Hope

Our Peace

Our Rest

And

The Heavenly Home

Every ... Always

In Your Eye-To-Eternity View!

The Lord Is Coming Back Soon

To Redeem His Children!

I Pray That That Means

Both Me And You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Ten COMMANDmentS!

We Worship God

BECAUSE

He Is Our Creator!

God's Ten Commandments
Are A Protective Hedge
That Men
IF

They Are Honest
Should - In Faith -
Stand Behind
For They Come
From The Lord Of Love
Whose Shining Light Upon Us
Is Wholly Holy

Divine!

The Divine God Of Heaven
Is The Author Of Life
Provider
Sustainer
Destroyer Of Strife
AND
In His Protection
All
Are Safe From The Fraud
So
Stay In God's Green Garden
AND
In The Great Day
Ascend To
The Heavenly Reward
The Eternal House Of
The Living And Holy God!

The Divine God Of Heaven
Is The Jealous God Of Order
AND
His Character
Is Laid Out
In His Commands
AND
Because He Is Unchanging
His Commandments
Are The Same
For All Men Women Children
In All Earth's Marked Lands!

We Are Not Permitted
To Erase One
Modify Another
Nor Add One
AND
We Are Not Permitted
To Explain God
According To Felt Needs -

That Horse Has Got Broken Knees!

We Are Called Upon
To Believe In And On
AND
Trust God At His Word
To Honor And Obey His Word
Each And Every Day
IF WE SO CHOOSE 
AND
To Not Interfere With Others
Who Choose To Love God
AND
Daily Live
In Peace
With The Majesty Of Heaven
Without Being Wise In Their Own Eyes
As Those Who Foam Out
Their Own Shame!

Be Not Like Cain And Esau Profane!

In Miniature ...

We Would Do Well
To Wonder At
The Human Who Works
For The Earthly Boss
Having Been Made Plainly Aware Of
The Company Rules
By Ear
AND
By Sight
AND
Having Affixed With Own-Hand
His Her John Hancock
Aka Signature
AND
As Well By Voice
Agreeing
In The Presence Of A Witness
To Do All Things Prescribed
AND
Then
In Confidence Of Permanent Appointment
Proceeds
- With Malice -
To Break One!

First ...

There Is A Warning!

Second ...

There Is Re-Education
... Just In Case You Misunderstood!

Third Time ... 
IS
The Last
The Final Time
For You Shall No More
The Company's Glass Door
Walk In
For
You Are Willful
Disobedient
Disrespectful

AND
You Just Don't Seem To Care
AND
Just Because You Know More
Know Better
Than The Boss Man
You Are Put Out
To Set Up Your Own Shop
Your Own Company
In The Darkness
Out THERE!!

Let's Be Realistic ...

Two Roosters Are Never
In One Hen House
Nor Two Bulls In One Cow Pasture!

Two God's Cannot Run One World
AND 
Failure To Comply With The Holy God's Instruction
Is What Let Loose
Sin Sorrow Death
AND
Hell To Come
Upon God's Green Earth

AND
Plastering Men
With Perpetual Chaos

AND
Constant Disaster!

Remember The Curse!

We Are Told ...

In Relation To The Holy God
To Have No Other Gods
Don't Bow Down Before Idols
Don't take God's Name In Vain
AND
Remember God's Holy Sabbath
AND
Don't It Profane!

In Relation To Man

Honor Mother Father
Don't Commit Murder
Don't Let Another's Husband Wife
To Your Heart Appeal!

Don't You Steal!Don't Bare False Witness
Aka Don't On Another Lie
AND
Do Not Covet What Another Has
For
The Living God
For Your Need
Always Supplies!

We
- As The Professed Children Of God -
Need To Understand
God's Ten Commandments
Are Not
God's Ten Suggestions

God's Ten Thoughts
AND
We Need To Recognize
That God Almighty
Has The Final Say
BUT
That We Are The Only Ones
WHO
Can Decide
HOW
We Will Be Remunerated
On Earth's Final Pay Day!

The Ten Commands Show
WHO
To Look Up To
AND
HOW
To Live Amongst
AND

Around
Our Brethen
For Earthly Peace
AND
Heavenly Prosperity!

Brethren,

Did You Sign
In Triplicate
Your To-Heaven Land Lease

With The Pen Of Belief

AND

The Ink Of Faithfulness?

Will You From Willful Sin Cease?

Jesus Christ Is Soon Coming
AND
All Lease Holders
Behind The Protective Hedge
Will Receive
Land Grants ... Eternal
Because
Their Willing 

Willful

Obedience
To The Terms Of The Land Lease
Will Be
Their Faith's Transfer Fee!

Trust God 

And

The Truth Know!

  

Follow Christ

And

At The Appointed Time

Go

To The Land Of The Ever-Living

Where The Ever-Loving

Can Never Grow Old

Nor

Spiritually Cold! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Real Talking To God

Too Many People 

Have The Misbegotten Idea 

That The Only Way

To Talk To God - Almighty God

Requires Them 

To Don A Cloth or

A Set Of Beads

Hold A Handkerchief

Be Anointed With Oil

Assume A Particular Position

Be In A Special Room 

At A Special Time 

Only On A Particular Day

In A Particular Position

AND

Use A Specific Set Of Words

When Communing With The Living God

Who Is Touched By Our Griefs

And Who Had Been Tested Even As We Are Tested

But Who Did Not Sin

AND

Who Said To Us:

"Pray Without Ceasing!" 1 Thessalonians 5:17

" ... But In All Things By Prayer and Supplication Make Your Requests Known ...!"

Philippians 4:6

"Call Unto Me ...!" Jeremiah 33:3

" ... Ask And It Shall Be Given You ...!"

Luke 11:9

"... Men Ought Always To Pray ...!"

Luke 18:1

"The Righteous Cry, And The Lord Heareth ...!"

Psalm 34:17

When I Consider:

Matthew 6:9-13 - The Lord's Prayer, and

Psalm 96:8 - "Give Unto The Lord The Glory Due Unto To His Name: Bring An Offering, And Come Into His Courts."

I Feel Safe In Writing The Following Prayer For It Fulfills The Lord's Requirements For Me To Appear Before Him, And To Appeal To Him, BECAUSE Nowhere In God's Word Am I Told:

"When You Come Before Me

Put On Your Best Go-To-Meeting Dress!

Set Your Face In Righteous Order

And 

Be Careful Of The Words You To Me Address!"

"Be Careful Of Your Syntax!

Remember You Must Pass A Language Test!

Don't Behave Like I'm Your Best Friend

And

Fix All The Buttons On Your In-Prayer Vest!"

"Think Carefully About Your Words!

I Only Accept The Prayers Said Best!

Put Your Spirit In Order

For

I'm Not Here For Your Getting Things Off Your Chest!"

I'm God!

Remember My Station!

I Live High And Mighty Above You!

I Hear Your Words - They Don't Suit My Standard!

Go To The Back Of The Line!

I've Cancelled Your Grace

For

You Are Acting Absurd

And 

You've Forgotten Your Assigned Designated Place!

No!

No!

No!

A Thousand Times ...NO!!

God Accept Prayers From The Heart!

God Accepts The Prayers From The Broken And Contrite Heart!

God Accepts The Prayers From The Heart That Believes That He IS!

God Accepts The Prayers From The Heart That Honors, Loves And Trusts Him!

God Accepts The Prayers From The Heart That Calls Him ... HOME!

God Accepts The Prayers From The Heart That Worships Him As The Holy God, and

God Accepts The Prayers From His Children ... HIS FRIENDS!

So, With That Said:

PRAYER

Father,

The Day That Was Coming

Is Already Right Here

When Calling Upon Your Name

Causes Evil Men

To Act Like Post-Hibernation Bears!

Lord,

By Your Grace

I Don't Fear Them

But

I Will Tell You True

Their Behavior Is So Rancid

I Would Hide

Were I Not Keeping My Eye Fixed Upon You!

Lord,

You Promised

To Protect Me

And I Am Depending On You

For These Evil Men

Act Real Crazy

While They Play With Your People 

Like That Mouse-eating Fat Street Cat Called Lazy!

Father, 

You Said To Fear Not

What Man Can Do To The Body

But To Fear You

Who Can Destroy Body and Soul In Hell

So

I Am Taking You At Your Word, Lord

And I'm Sharing The Old Story

That You Have Given Unto Me To Honestly Tell!

I Thank You, Lord

For Your Grace and Mercy

For The Hope For Heaven

And The Rejoicing Of The Saints

When We Arrive In Your Glory!

I Lay My Heart On Your Altar Today

And Pray, Dear Father

That You Will It Replace!

I Love You!

I Bless You!

I Honor You True

Please, Lord God Almighty

Help Me To Stick To The Truth

Found Only In Humbly Worshiping You!

AMEN.
