HAPPY SABBATH + Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You!

Great Peace

Have They Which Love Thy Law

And

Nothing Shall Offend Them:

The Perfect Law Of The Lord

Converts The Soul

And

Makes Simple Men Wise!

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

Sin 
Is 
Not A Light Thing
To Be Trivialized
And
Neither Should It In Our Lives Loom Large!

The Lord Of Life, Light And Glory
Came And Showed ... Gave Us The Living Way

Sin, From Our Lives, To Boldly Discard!
Don't Board The Doubting Man's Doomed Barge!

Open Your Eyes ...

Temptation Will Come To All Men!

Jesus Christ Resisted By The Living Word
And
Overcame
And
Even Now He Is Readily Available

- By His Holy Spirit Of Truth -
To Help Us To Resist Self, Sin And Satan:

Let's Read The Holy Word To See How:

Resist The Devil 

And 

He Will Flee From You!
Depart From Evil ... It Has No Dominion Over You!

Put On The Whole Armor Of God

And 

You Shall Be Able To Stand 

Against The Wiles Of The Devil!

All Temptation Is Common To Man:

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
And 

You Will Find Grace 

To Help You In Your Time Of Need!
Your Lord Is The Holy Son Of God
The Beloved Son Of Man!

The Name Of The Lord
Is
The Strong Tower:
The Righteous Run To It 

And 

Are Saved
Blessed, Strengthened, Comforted
Protected, Fed ... Loved!

Love ... Does ...

When You Love The Lord With Your Whole Heart
Sin Will Never Have Dominion Over You!

Mortal Men Make Myriad Mistakes
But
Mistakes ... In The Life Of 

The Committed, Consecrated-To-Christ, Christian
Are Never Fatal
Because
Like King David
He Has A Contrite Heart Which Embraces Grace

And
Heeds The Call To Confess And Repent
As And When Sin In The Life Is Pointed Out!

To Repent Is To Turn Away From That Sin!
To Confess Is To Acknowledge The Known Wrong!
To Have A Contrite Heart
Is 

To Be Sincerely Repentant For The Offense 

In The First Place
And
Desire Never To Commit It Ever Again!

Cherish This: The Lord Will Help You!

Brethren, 

We Sinners Come To The Lord 

Dirty, Dirty ... Real Unclean
Knowing Our Condition
And
Clearly Seeing Our Need Of The Lord Christ
The Son Of David
And
His Free Gift Of Sure And Secure Salvation!

Dirty You Came To The Lord
But
Dirty You Cannot Remain!

Childlike You May Come
But
Childish You May Not Remain!
You, Me, We Must Grow In Grace
To Attain Unto The Fullness Of 

The Stature Of Jesus Christ
Aka We Must Become Like Christ! 

We Have The Promise ...

We Don't Know What We Shall Be
But
We Shall Be Like Him
For We Shall See The Lord
As He Is ... Really!!

The Almighty God Said So!

This Promise Is A Glorious Gift To Cherish
And
Eagerly Look Forward To Receiving
In The Day Of Appointment!

We've Got That Enemy ...

Do Not Permit Satan 

To Construct Your Cage Of Disappointment!

Be Wise Unto Salvation ...

Your Commission
If
You Choose To Accept It
Is
To Disappoint The Deceiver
Who Dares To Try And Cause You
To Be Disinherited By The Lord Christ!

Don't Fall For The Demonic Device! 

Truth Is Always Perfect
Always Good
Always Nice And Plain
And
Always, Always, Cuts Straight And Clean
No Matter Who Wields The Knife!

Want To Buy A Slice Of Truth!?!

The Preserved Word Of God 

Is 

Truth

And

It Is Always Free!

Defense Against Satan!?!

So, What Is Our Defense Against Satan
... If We Really Have Any!?!

There Is No "If" In This Matter!
All The People Of Almighty God
Have A Can't-Fail Defense Against Satan
Our Known And Bold Adversary!

I Have To Hear This!

In That Case
Listen Well ... And Learn!

Preach, Preacher!

You May Make All The Fun You Want
But
I Personally Know
The God Of All Grace
That I ... Moment By Moment
Bless And Pray Unto!

Our Sure And Only Defense Against
Lying Murdering Damned Satan
Is
Our Personal Piety
And
Our Consecration

Our Total Dedication To Almighty God!
Anything Else Is A Cardboard Cathedral
Manufactured With The Tainted Materials
Cheaply Sold And Distributed
By That Serpent Known Not To Be The True God!

Man, You're A Real Buzz Killer!

How So, My Not Yet Friend!?!

Piety And Consecration!?!

Indeed! Nothing Else Will Suffice!

Harold, You Do Know What That Now Means, Don't You!?!

Yeah!

No Fun
Long Face
Lousy Food
Mediocre Attire
No Friends
No Laughter ...!

... Life As We Know It Will Officially End!

Where On Earth Did You Two Get
Such A Ludicrous Take
On Piety And Consecration To The Lord!?!

From Church!
Everybody That Appears To Model The Christ-Like Life

Are Always So Serious
So Joyless
And Seemingly Separated From Their Surroundings!

I Always Believed That Joy Is In Jesus
But These People Look Like
They're Always Sucking Sour Lemons!

They Always Behave As Though Just Laughing

Will Cause Their Faces To Break!

Guys, Please Hear Me!

Wearing A Uniform Does Not Make You An Employee
And
Not Wearing A Uniform Doesn't Mean You're Unemployed!

Uniforms Say Who Is Your Supposed Employer!
Your Actions Say By Whom You Are Employed!

Think About This ...

King David Makes A Valid Point!

I Agree!

No One Can Be Joyful In The Lord

And

Walk Around With A Long, Sour-Looking Face

At One And The Same Time!

That's An Impossibility!

Joy Has Hope!

Hope Has Faith!

Faith Has Trust!

Trust Reaps Blessings

And

Since You Know That You Are Blessed

Your Manner, Manners

Your Disposition

Your Attitude

Loudly Says:

I'm A Child Of The Great King!

I Walk With The Holy God!

I'm Happy In Christ Jesus

And

I Don't Have Pins With Satan The Fraud!

So, What You're Actually Saying Is That

What Is Inside

Inevitably Ends Up Outside!

Indeed!

Pretend Piety 

Is 

Beloved Of Satan!

It Fools The World

But 

Gives Satan's Black Heart A Twirl!

Pretend Consecration, Dedication

To The Living God

Is

One Of Satan's Choicest Foods

For Those Who Believe They Have Nothing To Lose!

Brethren, Friends

We May Fool The World

But

We Cannot Fool The Creator Of The World!

Personal Piety Is To Be Prized

Not With Pride But With Humility

And

Consecration

Dedication To The Lord Is To Be Lifted Up!

In The Eyes Of The World

You Will Be Despised!

We Are Called To Be Set Apart

To Be In The World But Not Of The World

And

We Are To Live As Though We Truly Believe

That The Glorious God Of Heaven

Is

He Who Died For Our Salvation

And

Who Gives Us The Moment-By-Moment Blessing

Know True And Called

Amazing Love!

Being Enveloped In The Love Of God

And

Displaying Personal Piety And Consecration

To The Cause Of Christ

Puts Us In Satan's Cross-Hairs

But

Leads Us To Climb Jacob's Ladder

Without Earthly Fear!

The Lord Does Not Forget Or Bypass

Those That Are His Own!

Bottom Line ...

Use Your Sure Defense Against Satan!

Let Your Light Shine

And

Do Not Let Anybody Or Anything

Steal Your Joy ... In Living For Jesus

The King Of Love

Who Is Soon Coming For Us

Who ... Over Sin

Are The Ones Victorious!

AMEN!

The Child Of God

Is

Happy

Despite The Storm

Because

He Ever Remembers That

Jesus Christ Is Peace

And

Speaks "Peace!"

And Truly Knows That

In Jesus Christ

Is

His Personal Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, Help Me To Run Life's Race For The Win!

Heavenly Father,

I Come As A Child

A Servant

A Willing Learner

A Follower Dedicated To Christ

A Soul Consecrated To The Eternal God

Indwelt By The Holy Spirit

And

Ever Watched Over

By God-Appointed Angels

And

Beseech You

In The Only Name That Matters

- Jesus Christ My Lord -

To Help Me To Let Go

- Willingly Let Go -

Of Those Things

Which I Cannot Keep

And

To Hold On

To Those Things Given By You

Which - If Enduringly Faithful -

I Cannot Lose!

Help Me, Lord

To Run The Race For Life

So That I May Behold My Jesus In Peace

And

Achieve The Laurel Of Glory

The Garment Of Righteousness

The Glorious Crown

The New Name In Glory

And

The Mansion Of The Blessed!

I Desire The Eternal Rest!

Do For Me, Lord

What Only The Holy God Can Do

Is My Heartfelt Plea!

AMEN.
