I Will Not Wait: I Will WAIT!

I Will Not Wait!

You Are Not Serious!
The Bible Says That Are To Wait Upon The Lord!
How Are You Reading The Scriptures!?!

May A Bit More Carefully Than You Are Presently!

What Do You Mean!?!

Just Like Here, Hair, And Hear Sound Alike 
And Mean Different Things
Wait Has Different Meanings!

Okay! I'm Listening!

What Does "Wait For Me!" Mean To You Guys!?!

It Means That I Am Stay Where I Am 
Until You Come To Join Me!

What Does "Wait On Me!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That I Should Not Do Anything 
Until You Give The Go Ahead!

I Say It Means That I Should Serve You!

What Does "They Are Wait Staff!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That "They" Are 
Duly Commissioned Servants!

Okay!
Now I Will Tell You What I Meant
When I Said I Will Not "Wait!"

I Will Not Wait Until There Is Trouble
To Seek The Lord In Prayer!
I Will Not Wait Until Sorrow Comes
To Hurry To The Lord's Side!
I Will Not Wait Until I Am Hungry
To Ask The Lord For My Day's Food
And
I Shall Most Assuredly Not Wait
Until The Storm Of Wind Appears
To Seek Shelter Under The Umbrella Of 
The Living God's Love!

There Is A Time And Place For Everything
And
Time And Chance Happens To Every Man
And
We Need To Understand
What The Word Means When It Says

 


What That Text Is Saying ... Simply
Is
They That Serve
Obey
Trust
Expect Something Of And From The Lord
In Consequence Of Faith ... Faithfully
Have The Promise Of The Blessed Life Now
And
The  Glorified Life
Heaven At The Last Trumpet:
Immortality
Incorruptibility
They Shall Have Wings
They Shall Fly
They Shall Live With Almighty God!

You Actually Got All Of That Out Of The Word Wait!?!

If He Got All That From Wait
I Can Imagine What Will Come Of Trust!

Ahhh, Trust!
A Beautiful Word That Says I'm

Taking Rest Under the Savior's Tent!


Whoa!! I Like That!

You Should!

Wait Is In Trust!
Trust Is In Wait!
Waiting And Trusting In Our God Holy
Will Not See One Repentant Sinner
Enduring Old Satan's Fate!

Trust ... Give Me A Loan
Trust ... I Believe The Word
Trust ... I Believe Who Gives The Word
Trust ... Security
Trust ... Dependency

Trust Is All About Confidence!

The Lord Asks Us To Give Him Our Faith
Our Trust
Our Hope
And
Wait Upon Him To Do For Us
All That He Has Promised!

We Are To Surrender Self
Suspend, Discard, Destroy Doubt
Live In Hope
And
Believe That He Is True ...!

... He Says That He Is The Truth!

He Says He Is The Word!

He Also Says That He Is The Way
The Light
The Life
The Good Shepherd
The Door
The Savior!

He Says He Is Our Peace!

He Says We Find Our Rest In Him!

Brethren, Since Jesus Christ Is All Things
To Every Man
In Every Place
At Every Time
What Do You Say ... Based On The Living Word
Do WE Wait
Do We WAIT
DO WE WAIT
On The Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!?!

I Will Wait On The Son Of God
While I Wait For The Redeemer Of Man To Come!

I Will Not Wait To Pray And To Plead
While I Wait For Direction
From Him Who Does My Body And My Soul Feed!

I Will Wait In Hope
Trusting Him Through Trials!

I Will Not Wait In Fear Uttering Platitudes
And Spewing Unwarranted Denials!

I Will Wait And Watch And Work!
I Will Not Wander Away!
 

I Will Wait In Obedience
On The Wonderful Counsellor
The Mighty God
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Me His Peace
Which Passes Human Understanding
And
I Shall Rest Under His Wings
Until He Gives Me Wings Of My Own
Strong Enough To Bear Me Up
As I Follow Him In That Day
Wheresoever He Goes!

Brethren,
Wait Does Not Mean Do Nothing!
Wait Has Weight
And
Our Wait Requires That We Work!

Waiting On The Lord Is A Worthy Commission
So
I Will Wait! 

I Will Also 

Work As I'm Taught

By Him!

And

I Will Also

 Watch As I Trust 

In Him!

CONFIDENCE IN CHRIST: More Or Less?!?!

To See Them
You Would Never Believe That They Were Related!

They Were Polar Opposites:

Fat And Thin
Light And Dark
Faithful And Doubtful
Single-Minded And Double-Minded
Anchored And Tempest-
Tossed
Weak And Strong
Wise And Foolish

I Could Go On
BUT
What Would Be The Point?!
Do You Catch My Drift?!

Farmore And Farless
- The Confidence Brothers By Name -
On This Very Day
Are Facing The Temptations
- Fierce And Strong -
AND
One Of Those Confidence Boys Is Going To Yield
And Fall ... Into Sin!

Farless Has Far More Confidence In Man
Than Real Wisdom Says He Should
BUT
Farmore Has Reposed His Confidence In The Living God
Which Leaves Him With
Far Less Confidence In Fallen Man!
It Was Upon The Rock That He Stood!

Enter The Dragon ... Spawn:

Pretty Doubtful Daisy And Handsome Dastardly Dan
Ain't At All Pleased
BECAUSE
As Commission Agents For
Beelzebub Deceives
Every Pidgeon Client Counts!

Pretty Daisy And Handsome Dan
Are Hawks
And Buzzards
Depending Upon Time
And Season's Circumstance
AND
They Ain't Got No Kinda Shame!

They Always, Always, Say:

"Commission Is Commission!"

AND

"A Meal Is Always Food!"

Truth - By Me - Must Be Told ...

Farless Was Always Fearful
AND
He Lacked Confidence In God
So Doubting Daisy
Had The Artist Susie Scam Run And Board Him
AND
Wouldn't You Know It
She Scored A Big Hit!

The Note In Her Log Book Clearly Stated:

Farless Confidence:- 
  • Easy Pickings! 
  • Piece O' Cake!!! 💥💥


BUT, BUT, BUT ...

As Regards Farmore
Who Has Loving Confidence
In The Eternal God
Doubting Daisy Has Written An Epistle:


WONDER OF WONDERS!!!!
The Goose Refuses To Be Picked!
Farmore Confidence

Is A Faithful Praying 

Believing  Loving

Trusting Obeying
Worshiping 
Standing-Up-For-Jesus 
I-Shall-Not-Be-Moved-Saint! 

At Signs Of Trouble
He Neither Trembles Nor Faints! 
He Knows Who His God Is
AND
He Walks In His Unveiled Truth
AND
He Lives Under His Bright Light
AND 
I Am At A Loss
As To How
His Life
I May Successfully Benight!
A Tough Nut To Crack!
I Honest To Goodness Hate
These Tough-Nut Christians!


Even Dastardly Dan
Had Taken A Few Pot-Shots At Farmore
BUT
At The Game Tally
Dastardly Dan Had The Low Score:

He Had Sent Tentacled Tar Balls
Tawdry Temptations
Terrible Troubles
AND
Tasty Treats
BUT
Farmore Had Gained More Confidence
AND
He
- Through Living Faith In The Holy Jesus -
Was Still Standing Strong
On Firmly Planted Feet!

Dastardly Dan Had Also Written A Note In His Log Book:


It's Time From Farmore Confidence

To Beat A "Hasty" Retreat!!! 
Not Giving Up!
Not Lying Down! 
No Crying Sounds!
He Truly Trusts GOD ALMIGHTY!
What A Clown ... Strong!!!
I Really, Really, Reallllllly Hate Him!!!



Brethren,

Take A Page Out Of Farmore Confidence's Book!
If You Lack Wisdom
Ask Of God Who Gives To All Men
Liberally!
He Will Not Slap You Down For Asking!

When In Doubt
Pray
AND
Walk On ... In Faith!

Lift Up Your Head
AND
Shout To The Hills:

All Of My Help

Comes From The Lord!
The Lord Is My Shepherd!
No Lack Shall I Know!
My Faith Has A Resting Place
AND
In God's Green Pasture I Safely Grow!



My Love Has No License!
In Jesus Christ
It Does Safely Repose
AND
Though Living Life By Jesus' Faith
In Man's Eyes May Damn Me
In God's Love And Grace 


In His Likeness I Grow
As I Am Fed By His Hand
AND
Get To Know Him

More And More!



God's Grace Is Sufficient!
God's Love Is Enough!
God's Mercy Is Available
AND
Satan Sin
Death And Hell
Will Soon Be Forever Snuffed!

The Man Woman
Boy Girl Child
Who Stands Up
With By And For Jesus Christ
Will Never Lie Down With Satan!!


What's YOUR Position?! 

What Does It Daily Cost?! 
Will It Eternally Pay?!

HAPPY SABBATH + True Treasure: Waiting In Confidence!





Conspicuous Consumption
Is Singing A Happy Song
AND
Carrying On
Bragging Upon
Barely Getting-Along
AND
Confident
Crudely Confident
That The Giving God Is On His Side
AND
Forgetting
Completely Consciously Forgetting
The Book Of Remembrance
That The All-Seeing God 
Is Moment By Moment Writing! 
Conspicuous Consumption
IS
Dictating His Own Judgment Guide!

Self-Delusion
Was Singing A Song Called Lullaby
Perfectly Content 
To Be Wrapped In His Warm Blanket Called
Comfortable Lie
Ignoring
Completely Ignoring
The Alarm Bells Going Off
As He Was Caressing
Hugging Close
His Dear Wife
Always Scoffing
AND
Truly Content To Set Aside His Appointment With
The Lord In-Me Safely-Abide!
With The Lord's Sweet Spirit
He Had Been Unnecessarily Snide!

God S. Got-Me
Is Joyfully
Prayerfully
Singing
Psalms Hymns And Spiritual Songs!
To Him
They All Matter
For
He Has Married Living Faith
AND
They Have Three Children
Sure Salvation
Heavenly Help
AND
Healing Balm
AND
They Sleep In A Simple Cottage
Covered By The Thatch Of Truth
AND
Furnished By
The Love Of God!

God S. Got-Me
Has A Straightly Upright Headboard Of Hope
AND
A Supremely Soft Pillow Of Perfect Peace!
His Garderobe Is Daily Grace
AND
It Contains His Garment For The Great Day
- Lord Christ's Precious Gift To Him -
His Robe Of Righteousness!
Oh, How He Loves His Lord!
He Walks With Him In Accord!

Master Musician
- That Known Devil -
Dastardly Deceitful Debonair
Is Singing His Own Meticulously Manufactured
Mesmerizingly Melodious Music!
He Writes A Myriad New Songs Every Day!
They Are For Pay And Play!
The Theme Is A Carefully Crafted Curiously Consistent
- Do What Thou Wilt! -
AND
The Music Is Always Perfect
For Whomever
- Whenever
Wherever
However
Convinced It Is Perfect For Their Present-Felt Need -
Chooses
- Self-Willed -
To Play Sing Dance Along!

He Is Daily Drawing A Conspicuously Large Throng
Who Loveth And Maketh The Known Lie
Who Seem Not To Care
That They Should Hold The Known Lord Of Life
In Godly Fear!
These, Unrepentant
Will Master Musician's End Share
AND
He Does Not Care!

Master Musician Is Knowingly Confident
That His Playing Days Are Of Time ... Short
AND
Because He Is Miserable
Angry
Over That Fact
He Wants To Ensure That He Has Company
At His Lake Of Fire 
Unrepentant Sinner Consumption Conflagration!

There Will Be Wailing
AND
Gnashing Of Teeth
BUT
There Will Be A New Heaven
A New Earth
For The Loved Of God
AND
No Sin Death Hell Performance Repeat!


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

The Banquet Table Is Set!
The Judgment Books Are Open!
How Will You Stand In The Great Day?!

Are You For The Lord
The Eternal Great Mighty Healer?!
OR
Are You For The Known Damned Fraudster
Who Is Playing Pious
AND
Masquerading As The Holy God?!

Time Here Is Short!
BUT
Who Cares?! Is The Non-Believers Retort!

Time Here Is Short!
Don't Be In Sin Caught!

Is The Call Of The Few
The Faithful
The Chosen
As They
Despised Denigrated
Dare
To Stand Up For Truth
In The Glorious Light Of
The Living God!

The Master Musician
Is Playing ALL Out
BECAUSE
There Will Be No Encore
AND
His Minions Are Intimately Meddling Among Men
AND
Doing The Dread
The Damnable Work!

BUT, KNOW YE ...

The Children Of The Promise
Take Comfort
In The Living Word
AND
They Are Walking
Working
Waiting
In Confidence
For The Reward
From The Holy One
The Living God Eternal
Jesus Christ The Lord!


Are You Running After Treasure
That Can Be Measured
But
Doesn't Matter! 
OR
Will You Wait
For 
YOUR TRUE TREASURE
That Is Without Measure?
It Really, Truly, Matters!

CROSS-ROAD: Faith! + PRAYER ...By Faith!





Faith Came To The Cross-Road
AND
The Decision Had To Be Made
So Faith Decided To Take A Rest
Upon A 
"Thus Saith The Lord!"AND
By So Doing
Faith And Doubt
- As Walking Companions -
Were Separated
Forever ... Divided!

Waivering Doubt 
Roundly Derided Firm Faith 
Who Was Standing Stout!

Faith Had Butt Upon Truth
- The Word Of God -
AND
Assent ... Agreement
Had Been The Only Position To Take
Since Faith Had Decided
To Walk Away From Sin
AND
Trust In The Word!

Trust
Required A Stop
A Think
A Bold Reasoning
A Decision For Life
- On The Merit Of The One Who Is The Word Of God -
A Turning Away From The Path Of Sin
- The Path To Sin -
A Walking By Faith
- In Faith -
On The Path To New Life
Completely Rejecting
The Old Way That Takes Life
AND
Genuinely Trusting
The Giver Of Life's Plan
That
- Come Hell Or High -
Faith Shall Survive The Mortal Strife
AND SHALLUpon Heaven's Table Land
Eternally Stand
In The Glorious Presence Of
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Man!

Faith Apprehended
- Laid Hold -
Christ Jesus!
Faith Appropriated
- Held On -
Christ Jesus As His Very Own!
Faith Assumed
- By Saving Faith -
The Character Of Christ
AND
Took To Himself
Jesus Christ's Mission Of Mercy
- As A Love Offering To God -
For His Very Own!

Hear Unshakable Faith Pray ...

Jesus,
I Love You!
I Call You Mine!
I Trust You!
I Bless You!
You Are
And
I Call You
Almighty God
Savior
Holy Divine!


Father To The Faithful!
Teacher Most True!
I Believe! 
Lord, Lift Me Up! 
I Desire Heaven
And
I Am Taking Up The Place Given To Me
And
Paid For
By You!


Heavenly Father,
I Have Been Sinful! 
But Now I Know
That You Fulfill My Need! 
Please Use Me, Dear Father
And
Let My Life
For The Heavenly Garden
Be Good And Productive Seed!


In Faith, Lord
I Walk In Trust!
In Trust, Lord
I Speak Of Hope!
With Hope, Lord
I Grasp Eternity
And
With Faith's Eye Seeing Eternity
In You And With You, Lord

And
Through Your Eternally Faithful Love
I Am
- With The Vagaries Of This Mortal Life -
Able To Cope!


I Cast My Cares On You, Lord!
I Didn't Catalog Them! 
I Just Cast Them Off
For
I Know That My God Is Able
So Satan
Over Me
Won't Get The Last Laugh!


In Your Time
In Your Way
Do For Me What God Wills
For I
- In Obedience To Your Ways -
Know That
Because Of Your Love To Me
And
My Trust Love And Confidence In You
Life And Unregenerate Man's  Lawlessness

- While It May Fret My Spirit -
Cannot My Righteous Soul Kill!


I Accept The Promise
In The Covenant Rainbow!
I Accept The Gift
In Jesus Christ's Calvary Sacrifice
And
For This
I Shall Dare
To Stand For Faith
- In Faith -
With Christ
Set Apart
Alone
For He Did
For My Sin
Atone!


Bless Me This Day
In Jesus' Name, I Pray And Plead! 
AMEN.

A Leap Of Faith
Is
A Mind Wide!

God IS! + PRAYER: Father, I Am Tired Of Running ...!



Denying That Satan Exists
Or
That He Can Damage You
Doesn't Make His Power Less Effective
When He Preys Upon
AND
Does Maliciously Attack You!

Denying God's Existence
When Jesus Comes To Judge You
Won't Make Your Eternal Punishment
- Which Is Separation For The Holy God -
Easier To Bear
For
Covering Your Eyes
Your Ears
AND
Wringing Your Hands
Just Displays The Folly
That Kept Your Company
As You Walked In Your Own Way!

Jesus Christ Is The Commander
The Captain Of All Heaven's Great Hosts
He Is Coming To Give Each Being His Rewardings
AND
That Includes That Evil Spirit Satan
Who Chose To Be The Head Goat!

Goats Have Kiddies
AND
Kiddies Are Own Way
AND
I Was One
Until That Great Day
When The Master
The Teacher
The Creator
Met Me In The Way
AND
Softly Said:

Isn't It Time That You Stopped
From Truth Running Away?

I Looked Left!
I Looked Right
BUT
Not Directly At Him
Until I Felt The Hand
Gentle
Under My Chin!
It Was Commanding
Calming
Calling
AND
I Felt The Tears
Washing Away My Regrets
AND
My Choking Fears!

I, Then
Cried Out ...


PRAYER:

Father,
Please Help ME!
I Am Tired Of Running!
Help Me!
Fix Me!
Make Me Anew!
I've Been A Willful Runner!
Lord, Make Me A Walker!
A Walker
Quietly Walking With
And
Unto You!

I Can't Run Anymore!
I Am Tired, Too!
Running With The World, Father
Has Been Decidedly Weaning My Soul
From Heeding You!

I Repent, Dear Lord
Of Walking In My Own Way
For
It Paid Me In A Coin
That Spends
But
Does Not Anything Good
Acquire Along That Pathway!

I Ran With The Liars
The Whoremongers
And
The Thieves!
I Even Ran With The Devils
And
Dear Lord
I Picked Up Gross And Evil Fleas!

Lord,
Clean Me, I Beseech You!
I Want To Come Home!
Hold My Hand!
Lead Me!
I No Longer Desire To Walk Alone!

The Master
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Friend
Drew Me To His Breast
AND
Did Me Gently Kiss!

Forgiveness!
Forgiveness!
Oh, How My Heart Sang!
Forgiveness Of All My Sin
AND
In My Head 
I Heard The Bells In Heaven
As They Rang!

I Will Not Say
That Life Became Easy
From That Day
BUT
I Will Say With Confidence
That Now
I Know How To Get The Comfort Of Jesus
For
All I Have To Do
Is Say
A Believing Heart's
Trusting-In-God Prayer!
