NO TRAMP STAMP: Take The Name And Give Your All To And For Jesus Christ!

If You Will Turn Your Eyes Toward Jesus Christ In The Day Of Your Trial

Make It A Practice ... A Habit

- A Reason For Being -

To Turn Your Eyes Toward Our Blessed Lord 
Every Moment Of Every Day! 

Make The Informed Decision ...

Turn To Jesus Christ In Joy Or Sorrow

For Pleasure

In Pain

With Need

Through Despair

For Comfort

And 

Just To Share! 

Listen, Obey And Live!

The Lord Loves Us So Much That 

He Put His Two Hands To The Plow:

His Two Hands Were Stretched Out For Us On Calvary's Cross 

With His Two Feet Firmly Nailed Down To Earth! 

We Claim That We Love Him And Bless His Holy Name! 

We Declare That We Pray With Passion And Power

And 

Swear That We Are Too Blessed By His Holy Hand 

To Be Stressed By The World's Aka The Devil's Plans! 

That's All Well And Good 

But

If Truth Be Told

Our All-In-With-Jesus Effort 
- Which Would See Us Saved Eternally -

Equals Only 99% Commitment! 

Beloved, 

Let's Stop Being Chickens Laying Eggs For The Lord 

And 

Let's Become Pascal Lambs

The Clean ... The Perfect ... Sacrifice

Truly Suitable For The Altar Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

If You Are On Fire For Jesus 

And 

End Up In The Flames For His Name

Rest Assured That He Will Be With You

And

In The Great Day Of Celebration

You Will Wear The Gold Crown

And 

The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 

And

Permanently Bear His Name! 

Be Brave! 

The Name Of The Lord

Upon Your Person

Is Not 

A Tramp-Stamp

Nor An Underground Slave Brand!

It Is The Royal Seal

On

The Child Of The Living God! 

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

Let No One Steal Your Name

Nor Your Crown!

**--**--**--**--** 

Walk Humbly

Obediently

Expectantly

And

Enduringly

Before The Lord Of Life! 

Desire The Best Gifts!

Covetousness 

Is 

A Kin To Idolatry 

And 

Neither A Covetous Person Nor An Idolater 

Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God 

For These Are Sins Against The Holy God! 

Beloved, 

We Have The Word Of Almighty God 
As The Anchor For Our Purchased Souls 

And 

He Has Promised To Provide For Us

And 

Protect Us! 

Our Blessing, Giving, Forgiving, Faithful God
Has Given Unto Us The Gifts Of Prayer

The Unfailing Blessing Of Faith 

And 

The Pure Lubricant Of Trust 

To Daily ... Moment By Moment ... Use 

To Secure That Which We Need

And
Not What Our Greedy Hearts, Eyes And Stomachs Covet 

Aka Inordinately, Evilly, Desire! 

Remember ... 

Achan Wanted Babylonia Garments, Silver And Gold

Balaam Wanted Unrighteous Wealth

King Saul Kept Cursed But Fat Cattle

Disciple Judas Wanted Silver For Selling The Savior

And 

Ananias And Sapphira Wanted The Praise Of Men
For A Lie Over A Gift Of Their Own Money
Which They Had Not Given To God As They Said!
These All Died Lost To The Kingdom Of God! 

Little With Contentment

Is

Great Gain! 

The Soul With A Contented Spirit

- A Heart For Christ -

Can Eat "Grass" And Get Fat 

So Be Contented! 

Note This Well ... 

If You Really Want Something To Desire

Boldly Desire The Keys To The Eternal Kingdom

The Crown Of Life

Immortality

Incorruptibility

The Robe Of Righteousness

The Harp Of Gold

The New Name

The Overcomer's Palm

The Place Prepared For You In The Father's House 

And 

A Seat At The Welcome Home Table! 

Dare To Desire All Of Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts:

• Desire The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding
• Desire To Drink From The River Of The Water Of Life
• Desire To Eat From The Tree Of Life
• Desire To Be Indwelt By The Holy Spirit Who Is Almighty God
• Desire Jesus Christ And The Living Kingdom
• Desire To Be Taught Of Almighty God

Create In Me ...!

As The Songwriter Says

"Creation Shows The Power Of God: 
There's Glory All Around: 

Miracles Abound!" 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe In 

And 

Trust The Lord Of Life

The Creator God

Jesus Christ The Lord

Know That The Godhead Three 
Were All Present At Creation 

And That The Holy Spirit Moved

And 

Brought Forth Light To Illuminate The Darkness

Added Substance To Nothingness

Gave Form To Formlessness 

And 

Made The Emptiness To Teem With Abundance 
And 
Lush Life

And 

The Eternal God Made Man The Crowning Glory Of
Almighty God's Creation! 

With A Clean Heart ... For God

And 

A Right Spirit ... To Embrace 

And Love And Live 
The Saving Truth Of God Who Loves Us 

And 

Died 

And 

Yet Lives To Save Us To Enter The Heavenly Home

We Are Blessed ... Infinitely Blessed
Prepared, Willing, Ready

And

Able To Enjoy Our Assigned 

And 

Pleasant Work From 

And 

For The Lord Christ! 

Brethren, 

Every One Of Us Headed To The Heavenly Land 

Promised, Purchased 

And 

Provided By Our Prince Immanuel

- Our God Who Lives With Us - 

Should Make "Create In Me ...!" 

A Matter Of Daily Prayer 

And 

See It As A Constant Call To Cooperation With Our King

Our High Priest

Our Perfect Peace

Our Holy Power

The Object Of Our Worship

The Beneficiary Of Our Constant Praise! 

I Humbly Beseech Us All

To Please Faithfully, Enduringly 

Obediently Work At It: 

Wearing The Crown Of Life Depends On It! 

Peace!

The Savior Is Knocking

And

Waiting On Your Answer:

Open The Door

And

Enthusiastically Invite Him In! 

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

We Are Hungry

And

The Good Lord Has Blessed Food:

Request The Promised Share

And

Enjoy The Feast!

"It" Only Takes One ...!

Faith
Is 
A Gift Given To Every Person ... Every Day 
For That Day's Use 
But
There Is No Point To Our Saying That 
We Have Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord 
When Our Very Plain Actions Sharply Say That 
We Don't Totally Trust Him! 

Consider For A Moment
General Moses In The Hebrew Exodus 
From The House Of Bondage In Egypt 
And 
The Roadblock Called The Red Sea That They Encountered! 

Moses Had Faith In God 
And 
Trusted The Lord To Deliver On His Promises 
To His Chosen People! 

The Lord Told Moses 
To Hold Up His Shepherd's Staff 
And 
Part The Red Sea ... NBD Aka No Big Deal! 

Moses, Human
Just Like Us Prone To Sin And Doubt By Nature
Chose To Exercise His Daily Gift Of Faith 
By Standing Decimating-Doubt 
And 
Dread Disbelief On Their Brittle Heads! 

And 

... No Abracadabra Mumbo Jumbo ... 

Human Trust By Faith
Aided 
By The Holy Power Of Omnipotence
Caused 
The Red Sea To Part 
Making Dry Ground 
For The Freed People To Walk Upon 
To The Promised Land! 

Beloved, 

Lift Up Your Faith
Extend Your Heart In Trust
Look To The Lord For Your Victories 
Already Purchased And Provided
And 
Walk With Confidence
 Into The Heavenly Promised Land! 

Please Don't Let Your Lack Of Trust Call God A Liar! 
Faith Requires Only One Step: Take It And Be Forever Blessed!

THINK ON THESE THINGS:

One Step Leads To Salvation

One Step Leads To Damnation

One Step Leads To Trust By Faith

And

One Step Leads To Doubt And Disgrace!

One Taste Led Man To Knowingly Sin

One Urge Led Man The Lord To Defy

One Urge Led Peter The Lord To Deny

One Man's Sin Led Jesus Christ For Man To Die!

Beloved, 

Do Not Doubt The Power Of One

One Lie

One Act Of Disobedience

One Walk In Presumption

One Foray Into Folly
And

One Lapse In Judgment

Can Lead Any And All

Into The One Appointment With Death

Which No Man Can Reject Or Reschedule!

Soooo ...

Let Each One Of Us

Be Wise Unto The One Sure Salvation

Standing With And For

The One Who Alone Saves

So That We May Walk Through

The One Gate That Speaks To Our Overcoming 

And

Stand Before The One

Who Did Our Punishment Take!

There Is The One Sweet Spirit Of Truth That 
Leads Into Righteousness

Whether We Are Middling, Old Or Youth!

Let Us With One Voice

Raise The Song Of Jubilee

As We Follow The One Word That 
Comes From The Holy God Who Is The Truth!

One Lord

One Faith

One Baptism

One Love

One Grace

One Heaven To Gain

One Hell To Refuse

One Peace That Passes Human Understanding

One River Of The Water Of Life

One Tree Of Life

One Crown Of Life

One Harp Of Gold

One New Name

One Holy Desire The Best Blessing To Claim!

Beloved, Believer

  Brethren Blessed, 

Hold On To Your One Hope

And

Your One Sin Rapidly Confess!

All Sin We Commit

Is 
Sin Against The One Holy God

So Believe The Living Holy Word

And

Depart The Deceitful
Destructive, Damnable Ways Of 
The One Known God-Fraud

Satan, Our Adversary

The One Who Wants Us To Deny

Defy

Denigrate

Disrespect

Dismiss

The One Who

Gives Us Our One Life To Live For Him!

Be At One With Jesus Christ The Lord!

He Is The One Way To The Father's House 
Our One Forever Home! 

Pride Can't Wear The Lord Christ's Crown

Too Worldly-Wise To Need The Win Over Sin

To Mighty To Be Mindful Of Wrong-Way Walking

And

Too Illuminated To Be By Truth Teachable

Don't Bow Before The King:

They Are Wearing Pearls
And
"The Emperor's New Clothes"

And

Are Willingly Wallowing In The Muck And Mire With The Swine! 

They Refuse Jesus Christ's Offer Of The New Birth! 

To Get To The Father's Glory

One Must Go Through Jesus Christ
The Lowly, Beloved Only Son! 

To Get The Righteous Man's Crown

One Must Be A Participant In The Good News Gospel Story! 

To Be Served At The Welcome Home Table

One Must Have First Served The Lord And His Fellowman

And

To Be Lifted Up To The Lord's Glory

One Must Be Faithful To The Always-Faithful King

Who Is, For His Beloved, Enduringly-Faithful Saints

Personal Places Preparing! 

Faithfulness To The Lord Christ
Is Its Own Reward ...

We Are Called To Fellowship ... Communion
Feasting And Celebration

To Live Forevermore
With The Faithful God Who Is The I AM! 

While We Live, We Are Present! 

When We Die, We Are Passed From Time Into Eternity 

And Yet

Through It All

The Lord Christ Is Ever-Present 

Being Our Rock Of Refuge

Our Strong Tower Of Defence

Our Shelter In Calm And In Storm

Our Hope

Our Help

Our Salvation

Our Shepherd Of Rest

And

Our Only Hope For The Glory Unto Which We Are Called! 

Our Great God Cannot Lie! 

His Hands Are Not Short That 

He Cannot Perform His Promises

And 

His Ear Is Not Deaf To Our Cries 
Because 

He Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities

By All That Concerns Us! 

Our God Is The Promise-Keeping God Who IS ... Here 

To Bless, Save, Reveal Truth
Revive And Reform Us

And 

Seal Us Against The Wrath To Come! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Jesus Christ Cannot Fail You 

So Be Faithful To Him: Believe Him

Receive Him

And 

Be Blessed To Live With Him Forevermore! 

He Personally Loves YOU

And

He Daily Gives Unto You A Daily Ration Of His Faith
To Use To Each Day To Get Home To Him!

You Are Not Called To Believe The Impossible! 

You Are Called To Set Aside Self

To Humble Your Willful Yourself

To Use Your Gift To Bless The Lord
Bless Yourself

And

Bless Others Each Day

As You Walk With Lord

To The Land Called Glory! 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Willing Sinner! 

Christ's Sure Salvation Makes The Confessed 
And 
Repentant Sinner

A Saint Of Almighty And Jesus The Christ! 

Victory ... Over Sin, Self, Satan, Hell

And

The Last Enemy, Death

Was Purchased For Us By Our Savior-King

And Is

Guaranteed To Be Achieved By Us
Through The Faith That He Gives Unto Us
Which, Used, Cannot Ever Fail! 

Please Look Up To Jesus, Our Lord Christ

And

By His Loving Care

Your Needy Soul Abundantly Feed! 

Give Him Your Will To Control!
Let No One
No Habit
No Sin
Steal Either Your Joy In Jesus
Nor Your Purchased-At-Infinite-Cost Crown! 

Peace!

Pride Will Never With Faith Treat

Because

Pride Is The Presumptuous Sinner's

Precarious Perch

From Which He Refuses To Descend

Because That Would Mean

His Unprofitable High-Mindedness

And

Gross Disobedience Must End!

Rejoice! The Lord Is King ... Forever!

Today, I Deny My Eyes

I Rebuke My Ears
And

I Castigate My Skin

Because

I've Given My Fears To Christ Jesus

And

He Does My Every Burden Bear!

I Have The Holy Spirit For My Comfort

And

For My Walking Stick Importunate Prayer

And

Because I've Given My Heart To My Jesus

War Against Doubt And Disbelief Has Been Declared!

I Could Take The Low Road And Linger At 

"What If!?!" 

     And 
             "Maybe!?!" 
                  And 
                                  "Can He Do ...!?!"

But

I've Gone All In With The Source And Strength Of My Life

And

Dear One, I Suggest That You Do The Same Thing, Too!

Built On The Rock Of Ages

Standing Upon Truth

Sheltered By Grace For The Day

Attended By Mercy For Me And For You

I Listen To The Still Small Voice

I Harken To The Word 
And 
Obey The Call To Enduring Faith

And

The Call To Know And Understand 
That Jesus Is With Me All The Way To Home

That Holy Angels Guard And Influence Me

To Do The Good And The Right That 
Does Eternal Dividends Pay

That Pilgrims Have Travel Problems

That Sinners Must Become Saints

That Self Must Be Subdued
And

That Runners For The Crown Of Life

Pray And Don't Faint! 

I'm Passing Through This Vale Of Tears
And

I've Got A Friend Who Blesses Me 
And 
Willingly Does My Every Burden Bear!

I've Got A King Who Is Loving And Kind

And

I've Got At My Trembling Side

The God Of Glory Who Is All-Knowing

All-Seeing

Ever-Present 

Holy

Good

Divine
And

With Him By My Side, I Rise

Because

We Are To Highest Heaven Unfalteringly

Unswervingly

Unabashedly Inclined! 

Being Faithful To Him, Alone

Who For My Sin, By Blood, Did Atone

In The Fullness Of Time That

He, Alone, Knows 

I Shall Cross The Separating Line! 

My Faith In The Lord Christ, By His Grace
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
Is 
Squarely Fixed On Him! 

Where There Is Life, There Is Hope

And 
The Hope That Rests In Jesus Christ 
Does Not Cause Shame 
Because 
He Will Deliver On All Of The Promises Made 
To Us Who Choose To Believe In Him 
And 
Say: "Yes, Lord! AMEN!" 
And 
Patiently Await Their Fulfillment! 

Our God Is Gracious
And 
Ever-Present
And 
Participates In All That Concerns Us
And 
No Child Of This Great King 
Should Walk Around, Head Down ... Defeated
Despairing
Anxious About What A Lying Man 
Or A Murderous Fallen Angel Can Do To Him: 
We Are Not Alone! 

Boundaries Are Set By Our God Who Says: 

"So Far And No Farther!" 

The Lord Is With Us 
And 
There Is Nothing That He Brings Us To That 
He Cannot Carry Us Through! 

Beloved,

Dare To Believe The Promise!
Dare To Exercise Your Gift Of Faith!
Dare To Trust God's Love For You
And 
Confidently Rest In Hope! 
Joy Comes In The Morning! 

Harvest Celebration On The Great Day 
Is 
On The Way! 
Hold On: Unceasingly Pray! 

Wait On The Lord Christ!

Waiting 
Is Not
Something At Which Impatient
Known-Selfish Humans Excel! 

The Heart Wants What It Wants When It Wants It 

But

Waiting On The Lord 

Is 

A Necessity In The Christian Economy 

If 

We Will See Jesus Christ ... In Perfect Peace! 

Waiting On The Lord
Is Not 
Laziness

Nor Does It Mean Doing Nothing! 

Waiting 
Is 
Our Time Of Preparation! 

When You Wait Upon The Lord

He Inclines His Heart To You

Calls You To Himself

And Hears Your Cry:

He Provides For You

According To His Will

And

Always For Your Blessing!

Waiting Requires Patience 

And 

We Must Permit Patience To Do Her Perfect Work 

So That We Will Lack Nothing 
In The Great Day Of Small Things! 

They That Wait Upon The Lord

Will Renew Their Strength!

A Man Can't Past A Test Without Waiting

As In Study, Practice, Rinse And Repeat! 

I Tried To Pass A Test Without Studying! 

Let's Just Say It Did Not Go Well! 

We Must Follow The Lord's Instructions, People! 

What Is Happening ... What Is Ahead For Us

Is Not 
For Some Earthly Prize Or Passing Grade! 

We Are In The Battle Of The Ages
- Between Good And Evil
Light And Darkness
And Truth And Error -

With The Coveted Prize Being The Real Crown ... Of Glory

And

No Willfully-Disobedient, Rough-Edged
Own-Way, Stony-Hearted, Presumptuous, Sinner

Will Ever Gain One! 

Victory Over Sin And Self

Comes Through Willing Obedience

To The Way Of The Eternal God!

You Got That Right! 

Precious Stones ... In The Rough

Are Not Beautiful Beautiful 

Until 

They Are Cut, Shaped, Refined, Smoothed, Polished 

And 

Set In Position 

According To The Stated Purpose! 

Precious Stones Are Tested

For Perfection! 

You, Personally

Are Marked To Be A Jewel In The Savior's Crown! 

Accept Your Day Of Waiting In The King's Workshop 

And 

Know That Your Day For Unveiling Will Be Grand And Glorious! 

Watch, Work
And 
Wisely Wait Upon Our Lord Christ!
His Actions Cannot Fail
Nor Should They Frighten Us!

Jesus Christ Loves You

With An Everlasting Love! 

Waiting On The Lord Is Not Wasting Time! 

He Knows When To Show Up And Show Off! 

Our Waiting Time 

Is 

Preparation Time 

And 

The On-Time God 

Is 

Going To Give The Performance Of The Ages That 

Will Never Be Repeated

And

I Intend ... By His Great Grace

And 

Loving Mercy For Me
- Tried, Purified And With The Character Change In Place 
That Is The Requirement For The To-Heaven Rising Up -

To Be Among The Faithful Few! 

To God Be Glory For The Things He Has Done

Is Doing And Will Do 

For Us Who Are Willing To Be Remade In His Image! 

Brethren, 

Being In The Refiner's Fire

On The Grinding Stones

Or In A Crucible

Is

A Pleasant Experience! 

It Ain't Pleasant But It's Necessary! 

With The Necessity Of The Experience Always In Mind

Please Keep Your Faith Forward

And

Work Your Faith For All It's Worth

And 

I'm Certain That We'll Definitely Meet 
In The Beautiful City Of Living Light
On The Appointed Day!! 

The King Is Coming!

Get Washed

And Get Ready!

From Your Lips To The Blessing God's Listening Ears 
And Ever-Compassionate Heart! 

Beloved,

Please Remember What Sister Lynn Said:
Patience Rewards The Patient!
I Pray The Lord's Peace And Protection Be Upon Us All!

AMEN!
