Behold Your God!

Behold Your God, Brethren!
He Is Gracious And Merciful!
His Coming To Earth Again!
He Is Bringing His Rewards With Him
And
Lest You Forget
His Work Is Before Him:
His Strange Work!

Exactly What Do You Mean By
"His Strange Work!?!"

Who Is Our God!?!

He Is The Life-Giver!

What Is Our God!?!

He's The Jealous God!

What's He Jealous For Or About!?!

He's Jealous For His Name
His Glory Aka His Character
His Worship
His Praise
And
He Will Not Share What Is His With Another!

I Don't See Anything Strange About That!
Where's The Strange Part!?!

He's Coming To Clean House!
He's Going To Fix 

- Glorify, Immortalize And Make Incorruptible -

And
Retrieve
The Wittingly, Willingly, Wisely
Fallen-On-The-Rock And Broken Faithful
And
He Is Going To Destroy
The Proud, Presumptuous
And
Willingly Sinful Ungodly!

He Is Life

And
It Is Not His Will That Anyone Should Be
To The Eternal Kingdom, Lost!

The Work Of Destruction
Is
The Strange Work!

Forget That!
Tell Me Why Would Anyone Choose To Be Lost!?!

Ah, My Young Friend!
You Have Glommed On 

To The Crux Of The Matter: CHOICE!

Everything That Pertains To Soul Salvation
Is

A Choice!
Everything That Pertains To Soul Damnation
Is 

A Choice!

So What About If I Don't Decide To Make A Choice!?!

That's Not Going To Work In Your Favor!

Huh!?! How So!?!

No Choice Is A Choice
Because
If You Do Not Choose Life
- Stating Clearly Your Position For Life -
You Have Made Your Position Clear That
You Do Not Value:

• The Life You Have
• The Life Promised To Believers
• The Life-Giver
• The Promise Purchased With Innocent Blood

What You're Actually Saying Is That
The Lover Of Your Soul
Your Creator, Savior
Your Redeemer, Friend
Does Not Have ... The Power
And
You're Going To "Trust" Your Future
To Whatever Is ... Out There!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Let Me Correct Myself!
We Already Know What Is Out There:

• Eternal Life Or Eternal Death
• Jesus Christ Or Satan
• Blessing Or Cursing
• Truth Or Error
• Light Or Darkness
• Confess And Repent Or Hide And Presume
• The Narrow Way Or The Broad Way
• Trust And Obey Or Distrust And Disobey
• Believe And Live Or Disbelieve And Die
• Hope And Glory Or Doubt And Destruction

Those Are Some Serious Options!

As You Can Clearly See
Everything In This Life
Is
Either-Or!
It Is Never
- Nor Will It Ever Be -

Either, Or, Or Or! 

There Are Only Two Positions! 

You're Either With The Lord And Against Satan
Or
You're With Satan And Against God!

If You Don't Say You Position
You've Made Your Decision!

So That's Why The Bible Says That
We Must Confess That Christ Is Lord!

You Only Confess What You Believe To Be Truth Or True!

If You Can't Or Won't Say It
It's Because You Don't Believe It
And
The Lord Has Nothing For Doubters!

Wow!
There Is No Neutrality In The Kingdom Of God!

You've Got It In One!

You Know ... I Like That!
I Really Like That!
It Tells Me Plainly That
We Can Depend On Our Almighty God!

Indeed!

Strong Position, Unshakeable, Firm
Same Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
He Is The Rock, Never A Worm!

So, Brethren,
How Will You Stand!?!
How Do You Stand!?! 

Will You Look Up To The Lord Christ And Live
Or
Will You Roll With The Changeable Tide
And
On The Broken Barge Delay And Decay
Take The Journey To Destruction
Because
For Your Own Soul's Salvation
You Did Not Care Enough To Choose
Christ's Glory To Share!?!

If You Believe The Word Of God Is True
Preserve Your Integrity
And
Send Your Word To Your God, Holy
As You Stand Up To Be Counted For Jesus Christ The Lord!

There Will Be Precious, Everlasting, Rewards

For The Faithful, Enduring-All Child Of 

The Holy God!

Consequences Of Choice!

Well ...

Only Jesus Christ Saves
So
I Hope That You Know That
Consequences
Are Bound Up In Your Contrary Choice!

I Hope That You Know
That It Is Your Voice
That Made The Choice
AND
It Is Your Own Personal Decision
Whether You Will Cry Or
Rejoice!

I Guess So!
My Life!
My Voice!
My Choice!
Got A Problem With It?!

Not At All!
I'm Just Saying
Your Party!
Your Funeral!
Your Loss!
Your Gain!

If You Live A Lie And Die
In Jesus Christ's Presence
You Shall Mourn And Cry!

If You Live In The Heavenly Light
Keeping Jesus Christ In Your Sight
You Will Take The Then Immortal Saint's Flight
To Eternal Delights!

When You Play With The Devil!
You Ignore The Lord!
You Put Another On God's Throne
AND
You Willingly Worship The Fraud!

Alright Already!
I Get You!
What Do You Want From ME!

I Want Nothing From You!
I'm Just A Messenger!
I Love You
BUT
I Can't Save You
BECAUSE
I Did Not Die For You!

Jesus Christ Is The One Who Wants Your Heart
To Bow To His Will
AND
Have You Walking Faithfully According To His Way!
It's No Biggie!

Actually
It Is A Big Deal!
Satan Is Well Pleased With This One
Because He Has Given Him A Notch Up In His Score!
Satan Is Well Satisfied
- All Things Being Current -
That This One 
Will Never Walk Through Heaven's Gate Door!

I Am Not A "This One!"
I Am A Person!

Sorry!
I Thought You Were Just A Number
A Notch
A Commodity
A Perk For The Devil
Who You Are Permitting To Deny You
Soul Salvation!

Satan Is Not Denying Me Anything!
I Live However I Feel Like!

Let's See:
Uncontrolled Temper!
Yielding To Temptation!
Telling Lies!
Worshipping Things!
Fornicating!
Stealing!
Practicing Deceits!
Doubting Almighty God!
Bold Law Breaking!
Indulging In Known Cheats!

That Is All Wickedness!

And We All Know That Wickedness

Is Planned Sin

Aka Iniquity!

Not Good! Not Good! Not Good At All!

I Am My Own Man!

Do You Need Me To Repeat!

No, Not At All!

If You Don't Repent

AND
Change Your Ways

You Will Soon Hear The Holy God Say:

Leave "Ephraim" Alone With His Idols ...!

... He Could End Up Like King Saul!

As He, Himself, Says
That Will Be His Personal Choice!

Sooo...

We Have Come Full Circle! 

Your Choice!

Your Voice!

Will You Cry?! 

Will You Rejoice?! 

See You Later!!

Heyyy?! 

What Happened To King Saul?!

Who Is Ephraim?!

Glad You Asked!
Let's Talk About Disobedience ...!

... And Willful Waywardness ...!

... And Really Trusting The Living God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The CHOICE Is Yours!

Creature
On One Bright And Shining Day
Took Total Leave Of His Senses
AND
Said ... Boldly

Coldly:

I AM

And There Is None Else!

I Will Do What I Will Do!

I WAS Created ... BUT

I AM

Evolved!

I Have No Need Of A Master

Nor That Creator God

For

I AM 

My OWN Captain

I Shall Be AS God!

Creature Grew Gross
Vile
Contemptible
Usurping The Power Of The One God
AND
Notably Earning The Exclamation Appellations:

"Deceiver!"            
            "Liar!" 
                 "Fraud!"
                              "Wannabe God!"

Creature Threw His Weight Around!
He Wielded The Power Of The Air
AND
He Promulgated Potent Deceptions
AND
Caused Many Unsuspecting
To Call The True And Living
Eternal Creator Forgiving God
Mean-Spirited
Unkind
AND
Gratuitously Unfair
AND
He Did It All With Great Gusto And Flair!

Creature Made A Serious Miscalculation
Which Came About 

As A Result Of His Not Having
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Eternal Sight!

He Killed The Son Of God
Who Willingly Laid Down His Precious Life
AND
Readily Took It Back Up
AND
Is ALIVE ... Forevermore!

Creature Also Indulges In Scorched-Earth War
Against The Apple Of God's Eye
AND
He Takes Perverse Pleasure
In Seeing How Many Others
He Can Cause
Their Purchased Salvation To Wilfully Deny!

However You Dice And Slice It ...

The Day Is Coming
When Creature
- That Musician Profound -
Will Face Comeuppance
BECAUSE
Creature Neglected To Accept
Understand
Believe
That THE Creator
IS
The Everlasting Father
AND
Has The FINAL Say
AND
By His Own Counsel

In His Own Time
Will Distribute To All
That Are Known To Be
That Are Called Creature
Their Earned
AND
Sure To Be Paid
Final Rewards!

A Creature

Is Not

Will Not

Can Not Be

God!

Brethren,

Be Not A Foolish Creature
Indulging In
"I Don't Care!"
AND
Despising Your Creator
For
Soon Comes
Company Closed
Final Check Pay Day!

Ignorance Is Not Bliss!
AND
Foolishness Is Not Sense!
AND
Trusting In Your Own Self For Salvation
Is Sure To Place You
In That Lake Of Fire "Ants' Nest!"

Jesus Christ Saves!
The Living God Blesses!
AND
If You Will Turn Away From Walking Wrong
AND
With Broken 

AND

Contrite Heart
Your Sin Confess
Jesus Christ Will Save You
AND
You Will Be Forever Blessed!

Life Is Not A Fashion Show

But Is

A Commended Or Condemned

Choice-Is-Yours

Great Test!

G.R.B. & T: Health's Greatest Safeguards

Health's Greatest Safeguards
Are
G. R. B & T.
These Should Be
The Keynotes Of Life
Setting Us Up
Not For A Loss
In The Terminal Fight
BUT
For The Blessed Life
In God's Eternity
Where God 

AND

The Lamb

Are The Light!

Gratitude

To God

Is Paramount!

Rejoicing 

In God's Favor 

Should Hail The Day!

Benevolence 

To Brother-Man
Should Not Be Far Behind 

Nor Forgotten
AND
Trust 

In The Love
AND

Care Of The Great God
Should Open Up
AND
Close Out
Our Every Day

AND

Mark Our Way!

Let Our Hearts Be

In God

Ever Glad!!

There Is A Way
That Seemeth Right To A Man
BUT
Therein Is The Way To Destruction
AND
All Who Walk Right
In Their Own Eyesight
Shall Forever
Always
Be Involved In 

A Right-To-Life Fist-Fight!

Let No Man Kill Your Hope Tree
Nor Remove Pages
From Your Praising-God Journaling Book
Nor
Permit Anyone
To Steal Your Joy
Or

Cause You To Doubt
That Our God Is Trustworthy!
Give Doubt The Rout!

Our God
IS

Faithful
Good Honest Kind
Loving
AND
Forever True
Loving Also The Unloving
Rescuing The Calculating

AND

Providing Ever Even

For The Cruel

The Ungodly
AND
The Rabidly Untrue!

Let Us To Him Be Faithful!
Let Us For Our Brethren Care!
Let Us In The Name Of Jesus
Do Mighty Exploits
AND
Do Not Permit The Prince Of Darkness
To Consign Us To The Underfoot Staff
Because
We Choose Not Jesus Christ
BUT

Choose Instead
The Burnable
Breakable
Perishable
Thoroughly Useful-For-Nothing
Fallen-Man-Built Golden Calf!

Christ IS Coming For All Such With Wrath!

Love The Giving God

And

Give The Loving God

His Glory

For Therein Is 

The Reward

Of

Everlasting Gain!

THE BLESSED HOPE: We Shall Be Changed!

I Have Peace In The Holy God!
I Have Rest In The Faithful God!
I Have Hope In The Giving God
AND
I Am Blessed By The Gracious God!

When Peace Meets Rest
Hope Is Blessed!
The Holy God
Eternal
Faithful
Loving
Giving
Gracious
AND
True
- In Mercy -
Longs To Bless Men More
If
They Would But Walk True, Too!

Our Present Daily Blessings
Are But Pedestrian
For They Will Be So Much More
When
- In The Light That Gives Life -
We Walk Along 
The Beautiful Shore!

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord
For His Goodness
Towards Men!
Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord
Who
- Though Offended -
Does Not His Goodness To Men Suspend!
Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord
Giving Unto Him
His Glory
AND
That Without End
So That We May Go Home
To Glory
To Glory
In Him
For Eternity Which Knows No End!

With Jesus Himself
As Our
Leader Feeder
Teacher Preacher
Hope Revealed
Salvation Unsealed
We Shall Do  ...!
We Shall Be  ...!
We Shall See  ...!
We Shall Go  ...!
We Shall Know  ...!
We Shall Adore  ...!
AND
What Else
Our God Himself
Will
- To Us -
Delightedly Show!

It Is Not Even Amazing
How Inept Are Our Attempts
- Mine And Yours -
At Describing
The Impossible
The Unknowable
The Unthinkable
The Unfathomable
The Unimaginable
The Strange
The Wonderful
Glories
Awaiting
Our Unpackaging!
Why Do We Waste The Time?

I Shall
You Shall
We Shall
See All The Glories
Of God's Amazing Kingdom
Of Love
IF
We Are Enduringly Faithful
Unswervingly Obedient
Unyieldingly Honest
Unbendingly True
To Him Who
Has Prepared His Possible
To Delight
Our Now Impossible
Point Of View!

God's Peace Is
Perfect
Precious
Practicable!

God's Grace Is
Grand
Gratifying
AND
Infallible!

God's Blessing Is
Beautiful
Bright
AND
Bountiful!

God's Love For Us

• Accepted
• Returned
• Cherished
• Celebrated

Shall See Us
If Faithful
Go From Mortal
To Immortal
AND
From Corruption
To Incorruption!

Brethren, I Beseech You ...
Turn - In Faith - To Jesus Christ!
Accept The Gift!
Accept That There Is No Risk!
AND
Quickly Of Sin Divest
AND
You Shall Live
From The Glad AND Glorious Day
In Eternal Bliss!

Grace Minus Faith Equals Dust!

Faith Plus Hope Plus Trust

Will See Man

Rising Up

- Made Anew -

Out Of Dead Men's Dust!

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

Choice Is A Man Thing!

Make The Choice For Christ

AND

Before The King Of Glory

- Face To Face -

In Adoration Sing!

PSALM 3: The Choice To Believe There Is Security In Almighty God Is Mine!

Today
The Lord Opened My Eyes
AND
I Acquired Sight
AND
Knew Of A Truth
That Psalm Three Is True
For I Had Personally Lived It
Through Many Dark Days And Nights!

Consider ...

  

Consider Also ...

I Remember
Vividly
Sleeping With
And Cuddling A Physical Demon
To My Bosom!

I Remember
Church Members Asking Me
How I Was Dealing With The Evil!

Yup!
The Word Was ... Out There!!

I Remember
Telling All Who Would Listen That:

I Believed In The Living God!
Not A Plaster Saint!
Not A Paper Saint!
That My God Did Not Sleep!
That He Did Not Have Any God-children
Grandchildren
Nor Stepchildren!
That I Said My Prayers!
That I Accepted The Word Of The Lord
Which Said:

Stand Still ... And See Your Salvation!

For I Had Heard
The Spirit Of God Saying That To Me!

I Told Them That The Living God Reminded Me:

To Look ...
Not Towards That Evil One's Faults
But ... Towards His Needs!
AND
To Pray For Those That Dispitefully Use You
And Abuse You
No Matter How They Do It!

I Chose
By Faith
To Give God All The Glory
All The Honor
All The Praise
All My Trust

AND ...

I Prayed Faithfully
AND
I Gave My Back
To That Devil In Man's Skin
AND
In Jesus' Dear Name
- Under The Protection Of The Holy Angels -
I Slept The Sleep Of The Just!

I Did Not In My Heart
Know Or Cherish 
Physical Fear!

In My Mind
I Recognized
AND
Then Spoke About The Fact That
If God Through Jesus Christ Did Not Love Me
If I Was Not One Of His Favorite Children
Satan - Through His Willing Operative -
Would Not Have Been Rabidly Opposing Me
Seeking To Physically Destroy Me!

A Song Was In My Heart
For  

My God Was 
AND
Is To Me 
Ever Available!
I Am His Sheep
AND
I Am By Him
Daily
With Good Things Fed!

It Takes Two To War
AND
My Side Of The War
My Army
Was Headed By King Jesus
For
The Enemy Was Raging Like A Flood
And I Knew I Battled Not With Flesh And Blood!


Evil Agilely Cursed My Head
But ... Jesus!
Amen?
AMEN!

Don't Get Me Wrong!
There Were Days
When I Totally Forgot Whose Child I Am
AND
Behaved In Abominable Fashion
But
There Were Many More Days
That I Surrendered My Soul To God
- Jesus Christ Be Praised -
AND
My Little Light Shone!

My Victory Was By Jesus!

Demons May Rage At Us
But
They Cower At The Name Of Jesus Christ!
So

Take Courage, Dear Brethren:

Hope Thou In God

For He Is Ever Faithful!

Hope Thou In God

For He Is The Blessed Friend!

Hope Thou In God!

The God Of All Creation

For

He Is The Open Door

And

His Promises Are Sure!

Sin Is The Curse

And

Jesus Christ The Cure

Hope, Dear Brethren
In God!

I Did!
I Do!
AND
I Am Winning
For
The Lover Of My Soul
Is
God's Only Begotten
Sacrificed-for-Me Dear Son
Who Has A Peaceful Pasture
For The Children Of The Faith
Waiting
On The Distant Shore!

Let No One Steal Your Hope Tree!
