SANCTIFICATION: The Life-Long Work ... And Personal Lots Of Land

We Are Dearly Loved By Our Creator-God

And

All The Heavenly Intelligences

And

We Are Devilishly Hated By The Satan ... The Adversary

And

All Of His Fallen-Angel Demonic Force! 

We Need To Know With Whom It Is That We Cast Our Lot

Aka Gain Our Fortune! 

Indeed, Beloved!

Look No Further Than The Word Of Good King David

- Who Made His Calling And Election Sure -
To See How It Is Done! 
He Knew His God
And
He Made His Public Declaration!

The Day Is Soon Coming 
When We All Must Make Public Our Own Declaration
Stating Clearly That It Is With The Lord Christ That 
We Faithfully Choose To Stand Up
And
To Be Counted For His Living Kingdom!

Hear, Hear!
The Handwriting Is Already On "The Wall!"

Brethren,

When You Know Who Is Your Savior
You Will Surely Recognize Who Is Your Adversary!

Satan Is The Liar

The Thief

And 

The Destroyer-Murderer! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth,

The Provider

And 

The Life Giver-Sustainer! 

Let's Learn The Difference

And 

Act Accordingly! 

Please Remember This ... 

All Who Turn From Satan Unto The Lord 

With Humble Confession Of Sin

And 

With Repentance

Have Forgiveness For Sin 

And 

Cleansing From Unrighteousness! 

We Who Are Forgiven 
Have A Sure Inheritance In The Land Of The Blessed

A Lot ... A Personal Parcel Of Ground

As Is Promised To Those Who Are Sanctified

Aka Set Apart For The Lord's Holy Use! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Be Fooled! 
Don't Fool Yourself
And
Don't Let Anyone Fool You!

Sanctification 

Is 

A Life-Long Work

And 

Only Those Who Endure All Things For The Lord

Until The Day Of Death 

Or The Lord Christ Comes For His Children

Shall Possess The Land ... Their Inheritance! 

Talking About Being Sanctified 
Is 
Cheap And Easy

And 

Doesn't Cost Anything! 

Living In Obedience

And 

With Enduring Faith, However

Is 

Going To Be Expensive  ... Hard 

And 

Painful: Do Not Fear! 

Jesus Christ Belongs To Us
And
We Belong To Him!
Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Great Physician 

And

He Owns Everything In The Cosmos

So We've Got Means! 

Please Confidently Place Your Life In Jesus' Holy Hands

And 

Please Hold Out Your Cup For His Blessings 

By Exercising Your Daily Gift Of Faith! 

Please Choose To Believe The Word Of The Lord

And 

Confidently Choose To Trust The Lord's Sacrificial Love For You

And 

Dare To Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace Be Upon Us All
In The Holy Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ
As He Blesses Us All ... By His Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
As We Make Our Pilgrim Journey!

Let's Think About ... Home!

AMEN!!!

WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION: The Record Keeper Of Life!

Amazing, Ain't It?!
A Stickler For The Rules Of Man
AND
A Rabid Breaker Of The Laws Of God!

Every Day It Is The Same Story!
Follow The Rules
AND
You Shall Prosper
AND
Yet
Theirs Is The Life Of:

Do As I Say Not As I Do!

Ramone, Please Stop
AND

Listen To Me!

Who Is It That Sits And Reigns
On The Throne Of Your Heart?
Who Is Your Comfort
In Life's Storms
AND

When Days Are Dark?
Who Is Your Protection?
Your Guardian?
Your Guide?
Your Stay?

Who Will Be Your Paymaster
When The Eastern Sky Shall Roll Away?

Keep Your Eyes
On Christ

AND
On Christ's Reward!
Please Do Not Fall
For The Distractions Of The Wilful Fraud
Whose Sworn Task
Is To Deflect The Light
Shining
From The Throne Of Grace
To Your Soul
AND
To Embitter Your Life
With The Minutiae Of
Fading Dying Mortal Life
So That You Can't See To

AND
Can't Walk
The Narrow Path
The Straight Way
In Jesus Christ
That Leads Those Children Faithful
Unto Eternal Life!

But, But ...!

You Are Not A Goat
So Stop Butting Around!
You Don't Wear Mime Paint
So Don't Act The Part Of The Clown!

Do Not Be Wilful!
Don't Walk In Your Own Way!
Live For The Commendation
From The Lord Christ
Who
- Even Now -
Is Heading Our Way!

Jesus Gave Us A Road Map
A Guide Post
A Light!
He Gives To Us Water
AND
The Bread Of Life!

Jesus Gives To Each Believer
An Angel Excelling In Strength
To Be Our Life Companion
To Help Us
AND

To Influence Us For Good
AND
To Protect Us
Until Life Be Spent!

Please Do Not Fall
For The Distractions

AND
The Drifts
Instigated By The Devil!
Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Jesus
AND
The Eternal Prize -
Home In God's Heaven!

You've Got Grace!
You've Got Hope!
You've Got Pardon For Sin!
Live Your Life For An Example!

You Know Truth

So Plant The Seed!
Someone Else May Water
BUT GOD- In His Time -
Will Give The Increase!

Do Not On The Way Falter!
Grow In Grace! GROW!

Man May Walk!
Man May Talk
BUT
Man Cannot Save His Own Soul
No Matter How Much They Squawk!

The Day Of Decision Is Coming
Every Man For Himself
So Do Not Neglect Your Duty
By Neglecting To Do
The Good That You Can!

Do Not Your Righteous Soul Vex

Over What Others Don't Do!
Look To The Son Of God
Jesus Christ
The Son Of Man

Who Is Coming To Judge You!

Refusing To Do Good
Neglecting To Do Right
Are The Same
As Committing Sin
AND

The Truths Of God
Forsaking!

Live Right - You Will Be Unpopular!
Let Not Those Who Desire The World
Stop You From Walking Faithful

AND

True
In The Sight Of The Holy God!

If You Go Against God

In The Day Of Christ's Coming
Your Soul Shall Be Quaking!

Do All For The Glory Of Your Lord!

Work Faithfully For Your Earthly Pay Master
AND
Do The Will Of The Lord -
He Has Perfect Records!

Man Rents Your Skills - That Is All!
Let Him Not Kill Your Love For God

AND

Don't Let Him Cause You To Be Marked

For Ill

In The Sight Of The Holy God!

I Guess ...!

Don't Guess!

I Now Truly Know
That I Need To Live For My Lord!

Amen, Brother!

Keep Your Eyes ...

...On Jesus!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: GO FORTH BOLDLY : Talk - Intimately - To God!

I Thought Deeply
For A While
For A Moment
AND
It Dawned
Became Clear To Me
That I - Mere Man
Had The Ear 
Of The Creator Of The Universe
Willingly Listening
Listening Patiently
Compassionately
Whole-heartedly
To Me!

I Thought On The King
Him Eternal
AND
Then Thought On
The Kings Of The Earth
Who Have No Time 
To Hear Or To Know Me
Or To Mark Me With Worth
AND
Recognised That The Creator
Of Heaven And Earth
The King Of Kings
The Lord Of Lords
Thought Of Me To Himself Worthwhile
To Call Even Me
His Beloved Child!

God-Man Jesus Christ
Is The Plain Truth
BUT
Man-god Is Man
AND
Nothing But A  Lie
Who Thinks Higher Of Himself
Than Almighty God Made Him To Be
AND
As Such
Has No Use For
Untitled
Non-monied
Unimportant
In Their Eyes
Nobodies!

Therefore ...

I Give Almighty God
All Glory
AND
All Praise
For He Is Divine
AND
Not Looking Me To Back-Raise
AND
Pray For God's Mercy 
AND
Grace 
For Those That Treat The Poor
The Unfortunate
Like Backward Behinds
Not Worthy For Them To Even Look In The Face!

I Here Take The Position
That Since I Have The Living God's Ear
I Shall Proceed
To Talk To Him
Without Human
But In 
Godly Fear!

I Go To My For-Real Heavenly Father
- In Simplicity Is The Best -
Like A Child That Is Needful
Of Most Necessary Things
To Its Father That Is Knowing
Efficient
Proficient
Providing
Little Lambs Nurturing!

I Go To My Father
Who Is Majestic Grand
Not Ever Grandiose!
I Go To My Father
That None Can Catch Sleeping
Wearing Pj's As Holy Robes
AND
In Confidence
- Without Fear Of Rejection -
In Living Hope That Bears Good Fruit
With A Heart That Knows Of A Surety
That The Dear Father 
Gives All Demons
The Holy Boot!

I Go To My Father
Knowing That 
In Times Of Distress
Oppression
Loneliness
Sorrow
Falls Into Sinfulness
Selfishness
Covetousness And Despair
OR
Just To Say:
Father,  I Love You!
That We Finite
Mere Mortals
Completely Have
The King Eternal's Ear!

So, Brothers And Sisters
When The World Seeks To
AND
Less-counts You
Think Nothing Of It
AND
Hold On To The Real God
Who Is Always Listening To
AND
Providing Goods Things
To Bless You 
AND
Me, Too!

Almighty God

- Our Heavenly Father -

Is Unfailingly Real!

HAPPY SABBATH + Without Belief, Faith Is Milk Froth!

After Much Ado about everything Wrong, Iffy, Annoying, Distracting, Disturbing, Sinful, and Oppressing and Depressing in My Life - and in The World - I have Decided I Cannot Really Live Without Waiting on The Lord!

 I Cannot Do Much to Help Myself!
 I Cannot Wake Me Up
Without The Master Holding Me Up, so
There's No Doubt That My Life without Him 
Would be a Major Muck!

My Eyes Serve ...

Meals My Stomach Can't Digest!

My Mouth Writes ...

Checks That My Person Can't Cash!

My Carnal Heart Yields ...

A god That My Now Saved Soul Can't Worship!

My Feet Have Walked ...

The Path that Can't Lead to Heaven!

My Faith-In-Jesus-Sense Tells Me ...

That What I Oft' Hear For Gospel Is Pharisee Leaven!

So, In Short ...

Without The Master - I am Tempest Tossed!
Without The Savior - There Is No Payment of My Costs!
Without Belief - Faith is Milk Froth!
Without Faith in Jesus Christ ...
I Am Forever Lost!

Note to Soul:

Self Worship is Idolatry!

Self Praise is Vanity! 
and

Self Pleasure is Not Even A "Thing!"

Go Against All Worldly Wisdom
and

Get Right with Jesus Christ!

Know The Shepherd - Get in The Fold
Otherwise The Hereafter
Will Be Very Hot - Not Cold!

TRUST GOD ... NO MATTER WHAT!
