They Minister Grace?! - Be Ye Wise!

It Is A Terrible Thing
When Those Who 

Should Be Ministering To The People
On The Grace Of God
- Over Sorrow For Sin -
Are Instead Publishing
Faith In Bodily Pleasure
Over Soul Satisfaction
AND
Are Proving Themselves
To Be Unprofitable Servants
AND
Dealers In Disgrace!

Is It Worth More
To Despise Your Birthright
For A Bowl Of Red Bean Stew
Than To Accept The Holy Gift
Of The Glorious God
Purchased With Innocent Blood For Me
And
For You?

Is It A Light Thing
To Be A Traitor
To The Creator God
Who Sustains Us
AND

Instead Claim Refugee Status
With The Wannabe God
Who Well And Truly Hates Us?

Why Do We Trust
The Man
AND
Not The Master?!

Why Do We Live With Our Eyes
For The Here And Now
AND
Not With Our Faith
- With Hope - 

For The Kingdom Of Light Later?

Maybe The Others Don't Know Of The Book!

You May Be Right!

Tell Them About The Book!

We, Christ Believers
Have A Good Book
That Tells
The Whole Story:

There Are Two Acts

- Old Testament And New -

BUT

There Is Ever The One Drama!

The Old Testament
Conceals The New Testament!
The New Testament
Reveals The Old Testament
AND
In The Back Of The Bible
Within The New Testament
Is The Revelation Of Jesus Christ
The Book That Reveals All
Where All The Books
Of The Two Testaments
Converge
AND
Conclude
In The Denouement Of The Devil
AND
Reveals
The Coming Of The Cavalcade Of The Judge
AND
Shows 

The Triumph Of The Christ-Followers
AND
The End Of Those
Who Care Not For 

The King Of Love!

There Are Trumpets
AND
Bowls
AND
Vials
AND
Woes!
A Great Earthquake
Giant Hail Stones
The Dragon
The Beast
The False Prophet
A Death Decree
Seven Last Plagues
The Seal
The Mark
The Wrath Of The Lamb
The Church Of God
The Bride Of Christ
Stars
Candle Sticks
Oil
AND
Quiet In Heaven
AND
War On Every Hand
AND
There Is The Proclamation
Of The Covenant Of Peace
AND
There Is The Birds Of Prey Feast
AND
1600 Furlongs Of Blood
AND
The Destruction Of The House Of The Beast
Which Traded
In Sweet Odors
Scarlet
Purple And Pearls
AND
Sorcery
AND
Sin
Selling The Souls Of Men
For A Fat Purse!

There Was A Curse On The Purse!

Brethren,
Consult With Old King James
The Preserved Word Of God
AND
Not Those Copyrighted
Fluff Pieces
Published For Profit
By Wicked
Agenda-ized
Corporation Men And Women!

Do Not Trust
Men Or Women
Pastors Princes
Popes Presidents
Nor Priests
Who Have
"Your Best Interests At Heart!"
AND
"For The Common Good!"
Invite Satan
To Hock Your Feet
So That In The Race
For Victory Over Sin
You Shall Suffer Defeat!

Brethren,
In The Hunt For
Hid Treasure
One Must Have
A Genuine Treasure Map
Not A Map
With Lines Missing
Or
With The "X"  Mark's The Spot
Destination Cut Out
AND
The Dud Of Damnation
Inserted
AND
Touted
As The Nail
In A Sure Place
AND
Loudly Celebrated
Traded
Whilst Known Only

To The Select-Few Crew
That
Purchasers All
Will Into
The Lake Of Fire
Spectacularly Fall!

Destination ... Fail!

Brethren,
Take The Fool For Christ's Advice
AND
Stick With The Armour
Old
Tried
AND
Ever True!
Get A Shepherd's Scrip
Add The Five Smooth Stones
Put Your Back To The Sun
Position Yourself In The Son
Walk The Narrow But Straight Path
Stand Up For Jesus Christ
Kill The Giant Goliath
Use The Two-Edged Sword Of Truth
After Making Sure Your Feet Are
For Delivering The Gospel Of Peace Shod
AND
Making Sure Your Head Is Securely Covered
With The Helmet Of Salvation!
Lift The Shield Of Faith
Against The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked
AND
With A Humble Prayer
For Grace
Take The Offered Mercy
AND
With True Companions
Those Influencers For Good
- The Holy Angels -
Let The Holy Spirit
Guide Chide
Help Teach
AND
Lead You
AND
With The Blessed Assurance
Know
That In The Great Battle
You Will Succeed!

A Word Of Caution ...

Hold On To The Lord Christ
IF
You Desire To Attain
His Eternal Life!

Christ Has Living Water
AND
Dispenses The Bread Of Heaven
Only To Those Who Desire It!

Do Not Doubt!
Do Not Be Double-Minded!
Keep A Song In Your Heart!
Go On God's Errands!
Walk Wisely!
Be Sober!
Be Vigilant!
There Is The Adversary
Out There
Roaring And Raging!

Don't Fear!
Jesus Christ IS Ever Near!

Remember ...

The Wine Of Babylon Is A Mocker!
The Strong Drink Of Men
Encourages Raging!
The Rose Of Sharon Is Ever Lovely!
Do Not To Fleshly Lusts
Ever Be The Slave!

"Create In Me A Clean, Oh, God!"
Is Of The Highest Worship

AND
Obedience To The Way
AND
Will
Of The Eternal God
Is Right Up There With It!

Willful Disobedience
- Presumption -
Is Iniquity
Aka Planned Sin
AND
It Is One Of
If Not The Best Most Sold 

Requested Advertised
Tools Of The Dragon
AND
The Use Of It
Will Cause You To Be Cast
Out
- Into Outer Darkness -
Where Teeth Will Gnash

AND
Men Will Wail
For Out There
Will Be Dogs
Lovers Of Self
Haters Of God
The Effeminate
Lovers Of The Lie
Sorcerers
Those, Brethren
Who
- Separated From The Holy God -
Shall
Eternally Die!

I Could Go On
BUT
At This Point
I Shall Not!
King James Holds
The Invitation To Salvation!
Read John 3:16-17
Aloud

AND
You Will
- If Truthful -
Be Convicted
AND
On Truth Sold! 

There Is Therein
Nothing Called The Nefarious Plot

So

Deliberately Seek Out
1 John 1:9
AND
For Good Measure
AND
Your Blessing Pleasure
Psalm 100
Is Perfectly Fine!

Comfort Yourselves
With The Following Words:

"We Shall Not All Die
But We All Shall Be Changed
In A Moment In The Twinkling Of An Eye ...!"

AND

In The Words Of King David:

"As For Me
I Shall Behold Your (God's) Face
In Righteousness!
I Shall Be Satisfied
When I Awake
With Your (Christ's) Likeness!"

Beloved,
Read The Preserved Word

Is

The Demonic Device!

Let The Living God's Heaven

Be

Your Soul's Sole Goal!

Dump The Deceitful Man's Leaven!

Get On Board!

Two Hail Mary's
A Chicken And A Goose!
Men Worship God
AND
Still They Permit Satan In Their Lives
To Run 'Bout Hog Wild And Jack Rabbit Loose!

God's Has No Short Hands
AND 
He Doesn't Pad Heaven's Books
AND 
Everything That We Do And Say
Is Faithfully Written Down In The Record Books!

God's Calls To Repentance
AND 
His Offers Of Forgiveness
Are Noted Through And Through
AND 
If Constantly Slighted
AND  
Rejected, Sad To Say
One Day
Almighty God Will Reject Us
AND 
For Our Own Sins
We Will Have Dearly To Pay!

Please
Do Not Take God's Mercy And Grace For Granted!
Do Not Live As You Like!
Do Not Trust Your Salvation Until Tomorrow
For You May Die On Your Ride Tonight!

God Is Longsuffering
But Not Infinitely So
For
Man's Cup Of Blessing Runs Over
BUT
His Cup Of Iniquity
Uh! Uh!
Not So!

Blind Eyes May Hear!
Deaf Ears Can't See!
Willing Heart Is Humble
AND
Greedy Heart Lives Contentiously!

Earthly Peace Passes!
God's Peace Passes Understanding!
Satan Is A Facing Liar
AND
Retribution Has An Appointment Of Long Standing!

Greed For Gain
Makes Sin Stick 
AND
Permanently Stain
Unless
AND
Until
We Recognize Our Peril
AND
Invite Jesus Christ To Break The Chain!

Let Us Look Up To Jesus
Who Did Lycifer Lucifer Cast Down!
Let Us Let Jesus
Carry Us
To Heaven In The Glorying Throng!

There Is No Need To Worry!
There Is No Need To Fret!
Jesus  Will Receive All That The Father Gives Him
AND
He Will Never Cast One Out! 
- There Is No Need To Bet!

Believe In Jesus Christ
AND 
Your Blessing Receive
So That No Man 
Your Soul May Deceive
For
Jesus Is Surely Returning
AND
Soon
The Gospel Train
For Heaven Will Leave!

All Aboard!

All Aboard!

Cut The Cord To The World Of Sin

And

Catch The Gospel Train!

All Aboard!

All Aboard!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mingling Praise With Petitions!!

Mindy Gottit
Grew Up
Grossly Gratified
Through The Gains Of Greed
Generously Granted To Her
By Grandfather Gottfried
AND
Granny Anne-Gel!

The Gottit's
Were Notorious
For Being Gross Grabbits!
"Thank You!"
Was Not A Phrase
Heard Used Amongst Them
Neither Did It Enter Into Their Minds
To Praise Anyone
For A Benefit That They Received
From Another's Hands!

Yet ...

Believe It Or Not
These Gottit Grabbits
Were Rabidly Insistent
That Every Single Person
- For Whom They Had Done
The Merest Favor -
Had To
Bow And Scrape
AND
Kiss Their Rings
AND
Sing Their Praises Profusely
Else They Be Called
"The Ingrate!"

One Fine Day ...

The Most Important Personage In The Public
D'Lordd
Opened Up His Castle
Stating That
He Would Be Granting Requests
To Those Who Willingly Made Petitions!

D'Lordd's Castle 
Had Twelve -  12 -  Gates
AND
A Note Was Affixed
To Every Single Gate!

The Note On The Castle Gate One Said:

Ask -  And It Shall Be Given!

Seek - And Ye Shall Find!

Knock - And The Door Shall Be Opened Unto You!

Gate TWO Said:

Give Thanks ... With A Grateful Heart!

Gate THREE Said:

By Prayer And Supplication 

Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God!

Gate FOUR Said: 

Oh, Give Thanks Unto The Lord For He Is Good!

Gate FIVE Said:

The Lord Bless You And Keep You!

Gate SIX Said:

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!

Gate SEVEN Said:

Praise Is Comely!

Gate EIGHT Said:

All Of Your Help Cometh From The Lord!

Gate NINE Said:

Thanks Be To God!

Gate TEN Said:

Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise!

Gate ELEVEN Said:

Oh, Give Thanks Unto The Lord 

For

His Mercy Endureth Forever!

Gate TWELVE Said:

No Good Gift Will Be Withheld!

No Surprise! No Shock ...

The First Petitions Received Came 
Wholesale
From Those Grabbits
The Gottit's!

They Had All Seen
Gate ONE
AND
Like A Ravening Locust Horde
The Grabbit Gottit's Got Their Got's On
AND
Grossly Gluttonous
They Made Their Greedy Requests Known!

Then ...
A Strange Thing Was Seen Occurring ...

The Poor
The Peaceful
The Polite
The Widows
The Oppressed
The Distressed
The Repressed
The Demoniacs
The Manic
A Lawyer
A Thief
A  Law School Teacher
A Tax Collector
The Town Whore
The Hungry
AND
The Needy
Were Seen
Steadfastly 
Walking Around The Castle!

Each Person 
Stopped
Stood Firmly
AND
Faithfully Read
Every Single Note
On Every Single Door
As If Life Itself
Rested 
In The Then Viewed Note
On The Current Door!

As Full Understanding Dawned
They Each Smiled
Raised Their Hands
AND
With Blessed Assurance
Each Went To The Door
AND
Made Their Petition
Unto D'Lordd!

As Time Passed
The Grabbit Gottit's 
Started Spreading Talk 
Around Town
That D'Lordd Was The Liar
That D'Lordd Never Answers Petitions
That D'Lordd Was Full Of Hot Air
AND
That They Wanted Nothing More To Do With 
D'Lordd!

There Was A Fine To-Do
Around The Town
As
Just About Every Body
Who Had Walked Around To D'Lordd's Way
Had Had Their Needs Met
AND
They Were Praising D'Lordd!

Gottfried Gottit
Washed Out His Mouth
On D'Lordd
Until ...
Like A Proverb
A Little Child
Led Him To The Truth!

That Little One Said
In Bell-like Tone:

"If D'Lordd's Words Resided In You

And You 

Had Resided In D'Lordd

Your Petitions 

Would Have Been Received!"

BUT ...

Said Gottfried:

"I Did What Gate ONE Said To Do 
And I Got Bupkiss!"

A Voice Was Heard Asking :

"If You Saw A Gate Marked ONE
What Should That Have Told You?"

"That There Was Another Gate!"
Those Assembled Cried In Unison!

BUT ...

Replied Gottfried:

Going Looking For Another Gate
Required Effort
And I Just Didn't See Why
I Should Walk Around!  
That Is Hard Work 
And I Pay People To Get My Work Done!
Furthermore
ONE Is My Favorite Number
AND
It Becomes My Station In Life!

"Man, You Need To Humble Yourself Before D'Lordd!"

"Did You Open The Door!"

"Door?! What Door?!"

"ALL Who Go To D'Lordd

Must Believe

That He Is 

And That He Is A Rewarder

Of Those Who Diligently Seek Him!"

"Huh?!
Believe!?
Who Said Anything About Believing?"

"I Read That D'Lordd Gives Good Gifts
AND
I Like Presents
AND
The Note Said: ASK!
AND
I Asked! Nothing To It!"

"Didn't You Ever Receive Anything From D'Lordd?"

Yeah! 
Sure!
But It Was Just Something Good That 
I Really, Really, Needed!

 A Voice Was Heard Saying:

He Just Wants The Bread And Fish!!

True!!  True!!

A Voice Asked:

Did You Give "Thanks!" 

And Praise To D'Lordd 

Just Like You 

DEMAND 

That Everybody Give You "Thanks!" 

And Praise For Everything ...

...  Including Their Paycheck 

That They More Than Earned!

Why Should I 
Gottfried Gottit
Say "Thanks!" 
For Something 
D'Lordd Asked Me 
To Ask Him For?!

Why Should I 
Praise D'Lordd 
For Giving Me Something 
That He Offered Me!

Raised In A Barn!!

Who Said That?

I Did!  Said Ma Rainey!
And I Cast Upon Your Head 
Your Charge Against Anybody 
Who Does Not Thank And Praise You 
According To Your Overblown Ideals!
You - Gottfried Gottit - Are An Ingrrraate!!

D'Lordd Gives Unto Us
What
In His Far-seeing Wisdom
Is Best For Us!
He Is Our Sovereign Lord
And
In Gratitude
For His Unmerited Favor Toward Us
We Give Willing Praise And Thanks!

That Gottfried Thinks He Is The Cat's Meow!

And He Believes His Requests Are Good Gifts To D'Lordd!

Suddenly ...

D'Lordd Is Noticed Walking Toward The Assembly!

D'Lordd! 

D'Lordd!

Gottfried! Walk With Me!
But, But, But, I Didn't Do Anything!

Exactly!
Now, Walk With Me!

We May Never Know What D'Lordd Said To Gottfried
BUT
He Is A Changed Man
AND
A Real Change Is Being Seen 
Among The Former Grabbit Gottit's!

They Are Turning Into The Gottit Givvitt's!

They Give Praise!
They Give Thanks!
They Are 
- Out Of Thankful Hearts -
Even Giving Gifts To Others
AND
Doing Missionary Work
AND
(No Need To Gasp)
They Are Exuberantly Giving Glory
To D'Lordd!

As For The Princess
Mindy Gottit
She Is A Work In Progress
For
Old Habits 
- Just Like Bad Attitudes -
Die Hard!

Pssst!

Are You 

Continually Giving 

Unto The Lord

YOUR Personal 

"Thanks!" 

And 

Praise?!

The Nature Of Forgiveness

Thirty Years
Nine Month
Three Weeks
Six Days
Twenty-one Hours
Fifty-two Minutes
AND
Fifty-eight Seconds Ago
My Best Friend
Brother
Mother
Uncle
Cousin
Teacher
Grandmother
Neighbor
Did Something To Me
AND
I Ain't Forget It Yet!

I Forgave Them,  Thank God!
BUT
I Ain't Forget It ... Yet!

Don't Get Me Wrong!
I Know That
To Err Is Human
AND
To Forgive 
Is A Gift To Me From God So Divine!
THAT ASIDE
I'm Just Waiting 
For Them
To Make The Second Mistake
AND
Believe You Me
I'm Going To Unmake Them Backside 
AND
I Swear To God
Every Thing That I've Got Up In My Chest
I'm Letting It All Out
With Both Barrels!

Is That Right!?!

You Betcha!

Ahem! Ahem!

Is Something Wrong With You?!

YOU.

Me!?!?

Yes.

What did I Do?!

Quite A Bit, I Must Say!
Didn't I Hear You Say That You Are A True Bible-Believing Christian!
"King James All The Way!"

Hmmmnn ...

What Did Jesus Tell Peter?

He Said Something About Forgiving Your Brother 70 times 7.

What Did You Learn From That Statement?

Jesus Said Forgive!  He Ain't Say A Thing About Forgetting!!

Really!?!
My, My, My!
You May Want To Go Check Out Your Bible A Bit Better!

Huh?!

Bye, Bye!

Later That Night ...

No-Rest And Cassietta Went To War!

No-Rest Won!

Dear Lord,

Forgive Me My Trespasses 

As I ... Forgive Those ... Who 

Trespass 

Against ... ME

And ...

AND ...

OH, LORD!

Father, If You Forgive Me

How I Forgive People

I ... Am ...

Oh, Dear ...

FATHER !!!

I AM LOST!

Father, I Am So Sorry

For Asking For What I Won't Give

Forgiveness and Forgetfulness From You

While I Deny It To Kith And Kin!

I Am So Sorry, Lord!

I Did Not Understand

But 

Now That I Have Your Word 

Diligently Reviewed

I Understand That

There Is No Forgiveness For Me

If I Don't Forgive Others 

Their Trespasses Against Me, Too!

Help Me, Lord

To Do Unto Others As I Would

That They Would Do Unto Me

And

Help Me To Live

True

To The Light 

You've Given

Plainly 

Into My Carnal Eyesight.

I Love You, Lord.

AMEN.

*******

God's Forgiveness

IS

God's Forgetfulness!!

Psalm 103:8-14 King James Version (KJV)

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
