HAPPY SABBATH + WILLING OBEDIENCE: Stand Up To Go Up!

All Lawlessness Is Sin:

Willful Disobedience

Is

Sin!

Willful Disobedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Putrid Pride 

And 

Stinks Of Idolatry 

Because 

It Places Sinful Self 

On The Throne Which Belongs To The Lord Christ! 

Idolatry 

Is 

Willful 

And 

Bold Sin!

That's Behaving Like You Made Yourself! 

Willing Obedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Love For Its Maker 

And 

Shows To The Dying World 

What True, Godly, Worship Looks Like! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Great King

And 

We Must ... By Thought, Word And Deed 

Choose

Willingly Choose

Lovingly Choose

To Walk In Perfect Obedience To The Lord

Following The Law Of Love

No Matter What The Naysayers, Unbelievers And Doubters 

Sarcastically And Spitefully Say! 

Look Around You 

And 

See With Clear Eyes 

The Plain Evidence Of What Happens To Those 

Who Choose To Willfully Walk "Wise" In Their Own Eyes! 

Look Again 

And 

See The Lives Of Those Who Faithfully Choose To Love The Lord 

And 

Show That Love By Staying Within The Law Of Liberty

The Law Of God

The Hedge Of Protection That The Lord Has Provided For Us 

To Shield ... Guard ... Ourselves From Sin 

And 

From Our Accusing Adversary, Satan ... The Very Devil! 

Stand Up To Rise Up: 

Willing Obedience 

Is 

Your Only Propellant! 

Love The Lord Christ! 

Keep The Holy Faith

And 

With Endurance

Obey And Be Blessed! 

Obedience 

Is 

Its Own Reward! 

Jesus Christ's Peace

Is

Always Perfect

For You And Me!

I Am Determined To Personally Know The Living God! + PRAYER: Lord, I Choose You!

I Am Determined
To Personally Know Almighty God
In The Person Of Christ Jesus

Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit!
I Eschew The Fraud!

I Am Determined
Almighty God's Ways To Know
AND
In His Light To Grow! 

I No Longer Want In The Ways Of World To Flow!

I Desire To Know 

The Eternal God
Who Created Me, Human
With Waterproof Skin
With Open Eyes That Close
AND
Closed Eyes That Can See!

Inside My Ear Is Skin That Hears
A Trumpet
A Boom
A Whisper
Singly And All At Once
AND
Can Separate The Sound By Source!

I Can See The Invisible In My Heart
AND
I Can Feel The Eternal
Whom I Desire Will Never From Me Depart!

I Hope ... And It Is Solid
And Liquid
And Gaseous
For It Began As A Thought
Became The Blood In My Veins
AND
Will Be Revealed In The Great Day
When Love
Eternal Love
The King Of Love
Returns To This Earth Again!

Inside My Mouth Is Skin That Tests
Tastes
AND

Tenderly Takes Food 

For Filling
- Not For Fun -
For Strength

AND
Not For Drunkenness!

What My Tongue Tests
AND

Likes By Taste
By Texture
By Temperature
Is Consumed!
Anything Else Is Considered
An Unwanted Venture!

The Skin At The Bottom Of My Feet
Is Strong
And Tender
And Supremely Sensitive
To Terrain And Texture!

My Waterproof Feet
Give Off Moisture
AND
My Feet Are Also A Map Of My Internal Structures!

My Hands Have Skin
Most Beautifully Soft
Which Holds 

The Gentle Butterfly's Touch  ... For Love
The School Teacher's Touch ... For Warning
Temperance's Touch ... For Self-Restraint
The Fold Of The Purse ... For Protection
The Flat Palm ... For Surrender To The Lord
The Cupped Hand ... For Accepting The Glorious Gifts Of The Eternal God

AND
The Stop Sign ... To Ward Off The Fraud!

Almighty God
Gave Me, Human
The Ability To Procreate
Which Satan The Arch-Deceiver Hates
BECAUSE
All That He Can Do Is Imitate
Making Fakes 

To Supposedly Walk Through The Real-Thing Gate!

I Desire To Personally Know The God
Who Condescended
AND

Descended To Earth
To Teach Me, Human
His Ways
AND
To Die To Save Me
AND
Rise And Return To His Home In Heaven
To Prepare For Me
A. Personal. Place. AND
Is At This Very Moment
In Heaven's Most Holy Place
Interceding ... For Me
So That One Day ... Soon
He Can Come Back To Earth
AND
Take Me, Human
Back To His Home
To Share His Glory!

I Am Determined
Though Satan Rage
AND

His Henchmen Perform Their Vile Chores
That I
By Faithful Endurance
- Though The Heaven's Fall -
By God's Great Grace
Shall See My Jesus In Peace
Faith To Face
Face To Face!

PRAYER:

Merciful God,

Help Me, Please

Not To Make Shipwreck Of My Faith!

Help Me, Please

To Stand Firm For The True And The Right

Though Wicked Men Call Popular Sin

Good And Right

Raising Up The Proposition

That You Lack All-Seeing Eyesight!

Father, 

You Know All Things!

You Are In All Things!

You Cause Living Beings To Live

For You Did

The Breath Of Life Give!

Help Me, I Beseech You

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Not Your Name To Profane

Not To Sell My Birthright

For The Red Bean Stew Shame

Not To Turn Back To The Flesh Pots

Where Faith In Christ Is Considered Carrion

Not To Cast Truth Down In The Street

And

Pick Up Fables

Not To Lean Unto My Own Understanding

And

Behave Like An Occupant Of Babel

Not To Remove My Hand From The Gospel Plow

And

Act Like A Pearl-Garbed Sow

Going To Wallow And How

Not To Hold Converse With That  Devil

But To

 Instead And Always

Offer Up A Living Word Verse

And

Willingly Choose

From His Ways To Be In The Gear Reverse!

Lord,

As A Grateful Recipient

Of

Your Mercy And Grace

I Choose You

And

I Ask You, Please

Whenever The New Day Comes

Help Me Always

- Because Tomorrow's Sun Will Never Rise - 

To Choose You ... TODAY!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

WALKING WITH GOD: Nothing Is Impossible!

Nothing Is Impossible
To Us Who Lay Hold
On The Living God's Words!
All Of Heaven's Helping Agencies
Are Available To Us

ANDOf That 

You Can Be Sure!
Our Pleas Will Be Heard! 

Just Trust On Christ Jesus
Who Asks You To Trust Him
In All That He Says
AND
Be Assured That Satan
AND
His Benighted
AND
Damned Kind
From You Will Turn Away!

Don't Trust The Lord Today
AND
Not Trust Him Tomorrow!
Don't Trust The Lord
In Things Almost All
AND
Believe You'll Stand - You'll Fall!
From Doubt Turn Away!

Believe In The Lord
In The Totality Of The Promise Given
ANDNothing Can Cause You
Away From The Lord Christ
To Fall!
That's Truth!
That's The Blessed Word
By The Lord Christ, Himself, Given!

God Says - Believe!
God Calls - Receive!
God Reaches - Accept!
God Feeds - Expect!
God Knows - Trust!
God Restores - Confess!
God Heals - Lean!
God Teaches - Learn!
God Sees - Look!
God Seals - Live!

Accept The Word Of The Living God!
With Him
You'll Climb Higher And Higher!

Deny The Liar
AND
His Lying Assay
AND
You'll Walk In Forever Light
In The Glorious Coming Day!

Keep Praying

AND

Keep Christ's Faith, Beloved
AND
One Day Very Soon
- Changed -
You'll Be Wearing Heavenly Attire

For

- Redeemed -
You'll Never Experience God's Consuming Fire!

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!

VESPERS: At The End Of The Sabbath - God's Grace Brings Peace and Healing!

Hope and Blessing are sisters!
Truth and Beauty are fast friends!
Friend Friendly and Faith Faithful are brothers
On whom the sisters and friends can surely depend!

Mustard-Seed Hope and Longing-For-Glory are inseparable
‘Tis Grace and Gladness-of-Heart likewise
For without these bonded companions
Neutral and Impossible bring with them Demise!

Hope-For-Glory brings with her Gladness
Faith and Truth hold fast to them Mighty Grace
And Beauty-of-Spirit brings with her, her buddy Blessings
From The Father whom them all did create!

Faithful and Friendly find Favor
For those two Feeling Frazzled and Frayed
Their duty each day holds Neutral and Impossible at bay
So Sin can’t come out playing with Holding-Sway!

Neutral claims Fame by holding No-Position
Impossible has Lime-light by elevating Weak
Who everyone know is twin Siamese
With Cowardice, and brother to Bothersome
Bewildered, Awful, Awesome and Life-Is-Bleak!

At times, one can meet Travail-of-The-Spirit
At times, one will meet Keep-You-Eye-On-The-Goal
But whether you meet, Goodness or Defeat
Constant Companion keeps you - along with Faithful - on steady feet!

So, when Life is plucking your nose-hairs
And The-Enemy-Of-Your-Soul steps with nails on your corns
And Devilish-Delight is flaring fire on your hemorrhoids
Know that Peace-In-The-Valley and Balm-of-Gilead
Are carrying Healing and Prayer in Godly-Hands!

Don’t give Losing-Hope and definitely not that Vain-Glory
Pity-Party nor Deadly-Pain to Strangle-Hold
For the Minions-Of-Hell
Will summon that dreadful Death-Knell
So Get-A-Grip, and
Say-A-Prayer and choose
Deny-The-Liar, then
Spit God’s-Gospel-Is-Heavenly-Fire
And step out with Faith
I’m-Holding-To-Hope and
To-Heaven-I-Aspire!
