... I Have A Bible!
Do You Read It!?!
I Wear A Cross!
Do You Bear Your Cross!?!
I Talk To God!
Do You Listen To God!?!
I Follow The Rules!?!
Do You Follow The Laws Of God!?!
I Am A Child Of God!
Are You A Servant Of God!?!
I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus!
Are You Becoming Like Jesus!?!
Brethren,
We Can All Say Something Nice
About Our Relationship With Almighty God
But
Is Our Something Satisfactory, Pleasing, To The Lord
Or Does It Excite Satan, The God-Fraud!?!
Oh, Dear!
Nice Expression But Ain't Worth A Lot!
Nice Expression That Can Lead To The Blot!
Nice Expressions Don't Lead To God's Favor
Unless That Expression
Is
Based And Built Upon Righteousness
And
Gives Off A Heavenly Savor!
Oh, Dear!
Oh, Dear, Indeed!
We All Talk A Good Deal
And
We Say All The Right-Sounding Words
But
Our Thoughts Prior Are Terrible
And
Our Subsequent Actions Are Abominable!
Do You Realize That Not One Of Us Said That
We Are Faithful
Living By Faith
Walking Under The Banner Of The Lord Christ
And
Striving Not To Be A Cast Out Disgrace!?!
I Noticed That No One Said Anything
About Endurance
About Enduring All Things For The Lord
About Seeking To Gain The Mastery Over Self
About Denying The Works Of The Devil
About Overcoming Sin
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Who Died Sickeningly To Save Us All ...!
... And Don't Nobody Say "Oh, Dear!"
We Are All Guilty!
Friends, Let's Get Real!
We Could Spend All Night At This "Funeral"
But If We Don't Seek To Change
Our Real Funeral Will Be In The Lake Of Fire!
Chrissy, You Said Earlier That
You Talk To God But That You Don't Know
What It Is That You Should Be Hearing For An Answer!
Yes, I Did!
I Often Wonder What Is The Voice I'm Hearing
Because The Very Thing I Ask For Help Not To Do
Is The Very Thing I End Up Doing ...!
... Because
You Are Relying On Your Self
And
Not On The Word Of The Living God!
The Living, Holy, Word Of The Eternal God
Is Never
Contradicted By The Voice Of
The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth ... Of The Eternal God!
AMEN!!!
Okay!
Let's Talk Turkey Aka Jesus Christ's Gift To Us!
The Lord Gives Unto Each Of Us
A Daily Measure Of His Faith ... For That Day
And
The Strength To Exercise It ... To Work It
Because
Faith Without Work Is Dead!
Living By Faith Is Hard
And
Easy
And
A Necessity!
We Are Saved By God's Grace
Through The Exercising Of Our Gift Of Faith
So Let Us Dare To Trust The Lord At His Word
And
Obey Him
And
Walk Boldly In His Light
To Receive Our Sure Blessings Today
And
Every Day!
Blessings Always Await The Faithful!
Remember Old Sister Cheryl's Prayer:
Oh, Lord!
Please Work On Me!
Please Work With Me!
Please Work Through Me!
Please Work For Me!
Please Work By Me ... Forever!
The One Thing I Would Correct About That Prayer
Is The Line Which Says:
Please Work With Me!
Why Would You Correct That Line!?!
Simple:
If The Lord Is Working With Us
To Help Us To Avail Ourselves Of His Blessings
And
We Do Not Cooperate With Him
We Achieve Nothing!
I Get Your Point
So I Would Now Pray, Saying:
Dear Lord,
Please Help Me To Work With You
And
Please Help Me
To Energetically Utilize
My Daily Gift Of Faith
And
To Wholly, Enduringly
Cooperate With You
To The Saving Of My Purchased Soul
And
To Bless Others
In Jesus Christ's Matchless, Holy, Name!
AMEN!!!
