LIVE WISELY: Get Your Desperate Need Fully Filled First!







Have You Ever Considered That 
Instead Of Us Doing Everything Within Our Power 
To Have Someone Lean On Aka Need Us That 
We Should Be Doing Everything Within Our Power 
To Lean Mightily Upon Our Lord Jesus 
Who We Truthfully Know That We Desperately Need!?!  

Beloved, 

Live Wisely! 

We Are Counselled That 
We Should First Seek The Kingdom Of God 
And
His Righteousness 
And
All That We Need Will Be Added Unto Us! 

Desperation 
Is 
A Terrible Way To Choose A Meal
A House
A Partner Or A Job 
Because 
We Will Ultimately Choose What Is Less Than The Best!

Jesus Christ, Our Creator-Sustainer God
Makes Us Aware Going In The Door
And
Before The Drama Starts That 
He Is Almighty God Aka The Best Being
Blessing, Benefit, Benefactor That 
Will Ever Happen To Us This Side Of Glory! 

He Gives To Us The Freedom 
And 
The Free-Will To Go Thrift Shopping
 At The Build Your Own God Outlet 
Where Paper-Bags Of Foolishness 
Are A Dime A Dozen Or BOGO! 

When We Have Exhausted Our Scarce Resources 
And 
Are At Our Wits' End Aka Desperate
Our Blessed Jesus Has ... In Advance
Given Us Leave ... Permission
To Approach His Throne Of Grace Unafraid
Needy
Knowing That He Will Never Turn Us Away Empty
Shamed Or Disappointed! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Draw In Your Nets From The Cess-Pits Of Life 
And 
Let Us Throw Ourselves Into The Everlasting Arms 
Where Eternal Love Lives 
And
Bids Us Rest 
And 
Freely Drink From The Water Of Life! 

Please Reach Out To Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FAT FAITH BLIGHTS: Cultivating Working Faith






Harmonie Had A Little Land
A Corner Plot Of Land
Beside The Highway Broad 
Her Back To The Sea Of Sin
And
With Her Heart Reaching Out To Wayward Humanity
She Desired To Plant A Crop
That Would Profitable Be!

She Had Planted A Bed Of Let Us Pray: 
She Prays Without Ceasing! 

She Had Planted A Bed Of Working Faith
A Bed Of Faithful Patience
A Bed Of Creature Comforts:
It Was Doing So-So!
A Bed Of Love And Hope
And
A Bed Of Caring And Sharing
And
She Woke Up One Morning
To Find Mingled With Her Bed Of 
Lovingly Cultivated  Caring And Sharing
The Distinctive Heads Of Bitter Snares!

Shocked To The Max
All She Could Do At First Was Stare
But Then Remembering Whose Child She Knows She Is
She Uttered A Heartfelt Prayer
To The Holy One Blessed Forever
And
With Strong Determination 
Proceeded To Plant Another Bed Each Of
Working Faith And Faithful Patience!

Her Neighbors' Interest Was Peaked
Because
Everybody Knows That Tending Multiple Beds Of 
Working Faith And Faithful Patience
Require Endurance
And
Not Many People Had The Stomach 
For That Kind Of Intense Exercise!

Everybody With One Iota Of Common Sense
You Know, That Not Common Thing
Knew That Increasing Working Faith Slowed Life
Aka Slowed The Receipt Of The Heart's Desire
While Substantially Increasing 
The Growth Rate Of Faithful Patience
Aka The Patience Of The Saint
- Which No One Ever Enjoys -
Along With Humility
Resting In Love
And
Growing In Grace!

That Growing Season
Always Spells A Deeply Courageous Struggle 
With Her Ladyship, Heady Delay
For The One Doing The Growing!

Heady Delay Is Neither Malicious Nor Crude!
She Isn't Presumptuous
And
She Is Never Rude!
She Just Takes Her Cool Time
Ensuring Lessons Are Learnt:

  • Never Block The Son
  • Send Down Deep Roots
  • Stretch Out For Wide Branches
  • Imbibe Lots Of Water Of The Holy Spirit
  • Receive Daily Nurturing From And By The Book And
  • Indulge In Copious Amounts Of Prayer Either By Your Voice Or Silently From Within The Heart!

How Doesn't Matter
As Long As Sinful Doubting Is Not Involved!

To Be Truly Successful
The Grower ... The Saint Of God And Christ
Must Not Ever Deviate From The Formula
Because
Deviation Causes Dilemma!
Dilemma Causes Disbelief!
Disbelief Encourages Doubting
And
Doubting Gives Satan A Reason
Against The Maker
In Glee To Parade And Shout!

It Must Be Said ...

Assurance Of Victory
Of A Plenteous Harvest 
Is 
There From The Start Of The Sowing
The Planting Process
And
Just Requires Conscientious Consistency
Working And Waiting
Watching And Praying
Believing And Receiving:
No Rinsing Required!
Just Repeat!

Be Aware ...

This Isn't A Work For The Unmindful
The Spiritually Lazy
The Boastful Proud
The Limp-Wristed Or Brittle-Kneed Weak!
To The Creator
The Maker
The Sustainer
The Provider
One Must Constantly, Prayerfully, Willingly, Seek!

Harmonie Is No Shirker!
While She May Not Always Completely Understand 
The Then-Prevailing Signs
She Trusts The Book Of Knowledge Completely!
She Heeds The Posted Warnings!

Harmonie Works What She Daily Receives
And
She Works Her Received Faith Practically To A Nubbin
And
At The Start Of Each And Every New Day
A Full Cup
- Enough Faith For That Day -
Is 
Always Found In Her Heart's Stores!

Lit Lamps On Lampstands ...

Harmonie's Lifestyle Greatly Offends Gully Boar
Who Is Always On The Rut
Digging Up And Delivering Doubt
And
Who, Personally
Is 
Rotten To His Fluffy, Extended, Core!
She Fares No Better With The Grabbits
Or The Gottits!

Gratitude ...

Harmonie Gives Her Maker
Her Lord, God And King
Fervent Thanks And Holy Praise 
Whenever Whoever
However Wherever Whatever Comes Her Way!

She Trusts That Her Master
Controls The Why
The Duration, The Beginning, The End
And
All Points In Between
And
Chooses His Will
Never To Deny
Never To Defy!

Harmonie Fully Expects Her Daily Gift!
Its Receipt Is No Surprise:
It Is A Bold Promise In The Good Book!
Her God, Holy
Does Not, Cannot, Lie
And
She Lives In And For Him 
And 
Daily Sings:

Faith Is Gift That I Daily Receive! 
I Look Forward To It With Expectancy! 
I Plant My Gift In My Fertile Heart Of Belief
Knowing That In My Jesus
Worked Faith Always Brings Relief
Help For My Journey
Courage For My Way
And The Blessed Assurance
That For My Heart's Willing Confession
And Repentance For Known Sin
I Shall Never For My Own Sin
Have To Pay!


Worked Faith Gives Me Necessary Hope 

And Help Each And Every Day
No Matter What That Gully Boar
That Imp Of Satan Repeatedly Says!


Jesus Christ Saves Me
And I'm Praying All The Way
Whether I Am At Work
Or At My Craft Having A Play!


Know The Right ...

FAITH Has The "H" For HOPE ... And Help!
Drop HOPE
And FAITH Become FAIT
Reading: Fear Always Inspires Torment!
Meaning: Physical Fear Inspires Spiritual Torment
Leading To: The Inclusion Of The Letter "N" For Need
And
Causing The Ill-Equipped Soul To FAINT
To Fall-Back
To Turn Back!

Brethren,

Faith Is A Precious Commodity
Freely, Daily, Available
- By Measure -
To Every Body!

It Must Be Worked
Exercised
Or For Disuse
It Is Excised
And, We, At The Mercy Of The Devil
The Enemy Of Our Souls
Shall Be Found Wanting
And
Without Heavenly Goals!

Jesus Christ Is Our Savior
The Only Giver Of Good Gifts
And
He Is The One Who Gives
Of Daily Faith The Gift
So Let Us Be Willing
The Gift To Unwrap
And
Put Same To Use In Our Heart Of Love
So That We May Withstand
All Sure To Come
Demonic, Sinful, Geared To Our Demise
Spiritual, Physical, Emotional Attacks!

Jesus Christ Is The Way
The Truth, The Light, The Life
The Savior, The Redeemer
Our Constant Help
In The Earthly Strife
So Let Us Not Become Weary In Well-Doing
Nor Wayward From Straight, Strait, Walking
For, If We Faint Not
We Shall Rise Upon Wings Of Eagles
Because
Exercised Faith Can Never Fail
And
Its Use Will Always Cause Satan 
In Desperation To Bitterly Wail!

Use Your Faith!
Pray For Grace!
Accept Mercy!
Walk In Light
And
The Living God Holy
Just, Faithful, Kind, Loving, Ever True
You Shall Surely Delight!
Fat Faith Blights!

Just So You Know ...

Yesterday's Faith Stays In The Past!
Today's Faith Can't Enter The Future!
Tomorrow's Faith Stays Exactly That
And
Those Who Don't Recognize This
Become To The Living Kingdom
The Losers!

There Are Only Two Kinds Of People:
Faith Users
And
Kingdom Losers!
Which One Are You!?!

Buying Peace!?! + PRAYER ... For Guidance!

... And I Went To The Village Shop
To Buy A Little Peace!

A Piece Of What!?!

A Piece Of Peace!

Mercy, Lord! Mercy!
You Can't Buy A Little
Far Less A Lot Of Peace
AND
Definitely Not
In The Village Shop!
What's Wrong With You?!

I NEED Peace!

Okay, Then!
You NEED Jesus!

I Already Got Jesus!
I Need PEACE!

Alright, Then!
You Need JESUS!

I Said I Have ...!

...If You Really HAD Jesus
You Would Really HAVE Peace!

Huh?!
I Go To Church Regularly!
I Pay Tithes And Offerings!
I Do Work On Four Committees!
I Run The Dorcas League!
I Teach Bible School!
I Sing In The Church Choir!
I'm In The Singing Band!
I Sponsor Three Orphans!
I Work Hard For Jesus!
I've GOT Me Some Jesus!

What You've Got
Is A Heart For Church Work
BUT
Have You Given Your Heart To Jesus?!

Have You Confessed Your Sin
AND

Repented 
AND
Turned Away From Sinning?!

Do You Say Your Prayers
Really Communing With The Lord?!
Do You Read And Study The Living Word

AND
Are You Walking In Faith With The Lord?

Ahhh... Uh mmm!

Thought So!

Jesus Said:

My Peace I Give Unto You!


You Can't Get It For Yourself!
Money Can't Buy It!
Intellect Can't Assume It!
AND
Man's Vaunted Wisdom Can't Avail Itself Of It!


Peace Is A Gift!
And, Furthermore
Within Peace
Is Forgiveness Of Sin
AND
Joy In Jesus
AND
Rest ... For The Soul!

There Is No Peace For The Wicked
AND
No Matter How Much You Go To Church
And Say
Lord! Lord!

There Is No Peace
No Joy In This Life
Without Forgiveness For Sin!

Peace Comes Of The Love Relationship
With Our Lord!

So, Pray Tell
How Come I'm Now Hearing This
... And From A Pedestrian ... Like You!?!


Nobody Ever Told Me
That Forgiveness Of Sin
Is Tied Up In Peace!
All I Ever Heard ... Hear 

Is Do Good Works!
Be Kind!
Be Helpful!
Share With The Poor ...!

Sweetie, All That Is Going To Get You
Is A Free Berth In The Lake Of Fire!

Are You Mad?!
I've Devoted My Life To The Church ...!

... But You Have Not Given Over
Committed 
Devoted
- Surrendered -
Your Life To The Lord Christ!

Just Doing Church Work
AND
Not Surrendering To God
- In Christ Jesus -
Is Like Going To Work For A Corporation
AND
Faithfully Working
Without Them Knowing That They Hired You!
There Ain't No Paycheck With Your Name On It!

How Straaange ... I Thought God Knew Everything!

Almighty God Does, Indeed
Know Everything
BUT ...
You Still Have To Finalize The Transaction
By Sending Him The Word Of Your Agreement!
You Have To Make The Verbal Commitment!
Word Is Bond!








If What You Are Saying Is True
- And I Don't Doubt You -
Then ... I Guess Not!

I Was Told 

AND
I Sincerely Believed
That Working For The Lord 
IS
Devotion To God
And That If I Work Faithfully For God
I Will Be Saved By Christ The Lord!
I Am Pleased To Work!

Sorry, My Dear!
Pleasure Ain't Peace!

Peace Is A Gift!
Salvation Is A Gift!
Forgiveness Is A Gift!
The Love Of God Is A Gift!
AND
All Are Compliments Of Jesus Christ
AND
Without These
No Matter How Sincerely You Believed
That Work Is Commitment To God
Without Change
You Will Be Sincerely Lost!
You Cannot Work For God
AND
Live And Play With The Devil!

Read Isaiah 26:3!
The Lord Will Keep You In Perfect Peace
If Your Mind Is Stayed
-Anchored -
On Him
AND
You Trust In Him!

And ...

Without Forgiveness Of Sin
You Are At War With God!
Sooo ... No Peace!

That Is So Unfair!
I Didn't Know That I Had To Confess Sin
AND

Repent Of Sin
To Get Forgiveness
AND
Salvation
AND
To Gain ... Peace!

You Know Now, Love!

Yes!
Now I Know!
I've Been So Very, Very, Miserable!
I Was Getting Desperate!

You Would Have To Have Been Desperate
To Go To The Village Shop
To Buy
"A Piece Of Peace!"

Yuh Think!!

PRAYER:

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord!
Give Unto Us
The Treasured Gift Of Your Peace!
Bless Us To Do Your Will
And
From Sin
Grant Us Needed Relief!

We Are Willing Workers, Father!
Please Guide Us Along The Way
And
Help Us To Speak Peace
Whatever It Is
- In Your Name -
That We Do And Say!

Remember The Brethren
Those Near And Those Far
And
Bless Them
According To Your Will
So That They Will Trust
The Word
Of
Our Savior's Interceding
As We Against
The Devil And Sin
Spar!

Forgive Us Our Trespasses
Against The Holy God
And
Bless Us
Lord, Bless
To Have Faith
For
Our Trusty Conveyance
Our Always-Fueled
And
Ever-Operational
Can't-Break-Down
Motor Car!

We Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus' Name, We Humbly Plead!

IN CHRIST ... We Never Walk Alone!


ONE. MORE. TIME.... (sigh)




Instead Of Suicide
Or
Suicide By Cop
How About Man Choosing
Life Through Christ
For An Eternity Spot!

Wherever You Turn
All You Are Hearing
Reading
Are Instances Of Self-Inflicted Death
AKA
Death Without Hope
For Many Are Our Sons And Daughters
Who
- With Life -
Know Not How To Cope!

Bullying
Friendlessness
Helplessness
Feelings Of Uselessness
Unfaithfulness
Rejection
No Visible Hope
Are All Calling Forth Death-Whispers
From Satan 
AND
His Kind
Urging All Who Will
To Leave Life
AND
Clean, Contented-In-Christ Living
Behind!

Brother!
Sister!
Please!
There Is A Way!
A Way To Salvation!
A Way Away From Self
To The Living Holy Way
With Jesus Christ
Who Is Our Salvation
Our Way To Eternal Life
Our Way Out Of Planned Destruction
Our Only Way To Survive 
This Life's Bitter Strife!

Jesus Saves!
Is No Catch Prase!
Jesus Christ Is The Way
Whereby All 
Who Seek To Have Their Soul's Fed
May Freely Do So
For He Is
The King Of Love
The Truth
Our Way To Life!

AND ...?

All Who Seek Life
May Seek Life
Without Fear Of Christ's Condemnation
AND
Without Man's Projected And Anticipated Regret
AND
Without The Ball And Chain Of Sin
Dragging The Soul Down
For
Jesus Christ Offers Hope
Which Will Be Satisfied
AND
With Hope Springing Eternal
He Welcomes All Home
Who Reach Out 
AND
Touch
The Holy Hand
Which Conquered Sin
Death
AND
Hell!
A Child Of The Heavenly Father
Is Never Friendless
Never Loveless
Never Useless
Never Comfortless
AND
NEVER, EVER
Walks Alone!

So ... What?

Jesus Christ
Is Our Priest
AND
Our Intercessor
IF
We Will Trust His Word
AND
His Love
AND
Accept His Grace
AND
His Mercy
AND
Call On Him
To Receive Us
AND
Welcome Us
Into His Heart
The Family Home!

Sin Brings Despair To Life!
Salvation Brings Life To Living Amidst Strife!
Life In Christ Now
AND
Eternal Life With Christ Later
IS
What The Desperate Sinner Needs
IF
He Wills To Stop Satan
From Upon His Sorrowing 
Malignantly
To Feed!

Trust God ... And Go!
Trust God ... And Grow!
Grow In Grace Through Faith
AND
No Matter What That Hellish Fiend Throws At You
Give It To Emmanuel
- Christ With Us -
AND
Walk In Confidence
Knowing That Eternal Life
With The Friend
That Sticks Closer To Us Than Any Brother
Is Laid Out
AND
IS
Before Us
AND
IS
Waiting
For Us!


When You Walk Through Your Storm
Hold Your Head Up High
And Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
For He Who Made The Dark
Is The Creator Of Us All
And
He Wills To Take Us All To His Home!

Walk On! Hold His Hand!
Walk On! He Died So That You Can!
Walk On! Fear Not Satan's Whispered Words!
Listen To God's Holy Spirit
The Comforter Of Your Soul!
Good Angels Will Surround You!
Get Out From Among The Hell-Bound Herd
AND
You'll Never, Ever, Ever, Walk Alone!

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

Make A Plan To Live
For
Making A Plan To Die
Because Someone
Something
Made You Cry
Is
A Trick Of The Lost One
That Satan
Who Is
The Father Of Lies!


Call Upon Jesus Instead!
He Is The King Of Life
And
In Him
Your Soul Is Ever Fed!

APPROACHES TO LIFE: Fall-Back vs. Call Upon





SATAN IS THE LIAR!!

The Difference Between
A Committed Christian
AND
An Unbeliever
IS
The Unbeliever Has
A Fall-Back Position
BUT
The Committed Christian
Has A Call-Upon Savior
Gloriously Named
The Prince Of Peace
Jesus Christ The Lord!

My Spirit Is Very Troubled Within Me
Reading Hearing
About All The Teenage Suicides
AND
The Reasons Why
AND
I WONDER
Lord Knows ... I Wonder
In Whose Ears
Did These Poor Unfortunate
Desperate Souls
Cry?

What Have We Done?
What Are We Doing
By "Freeing Up" Society
From The "Interfering-In-Our-Pleasure" God
AND
Giving That Fraud Satan
Complete Access
To Destroy People's Minds
AND
Lives
Through Seeking Man-Public Social Media Approbation
Commendation
AND
Direction
Instead Of
Taking One's Hurting Heart
To 
THE ETERNAL
ALL SEEING
All KNOWING
EVER PRESENT
ALWAYS AVAILABLE
ALMIGHTY GOD?!

Modern Man
Baby Boomers
Gen-X Y Z
The Snow Flakes
Act Like Sharks
When They Smell
A Single Drop Of Blood
In The Water
AND
All Seem
To Take Perverse Pleasure
In Destroying
What One Poor Soul Calls Treasure!

It's Amazing How We Joyously Kill People
BUT
Save 
Cats Puppies
Wales Bees And Trees!

What Ever Happened To ...

Kind Word
Thoughtful Deed
Extending A Helping Hand
To A Broken
Bothered
Bewildered
Trembling
Brother Sister
Daddy Mommy
Friend?

What Ever Happened To
Let Me Pray With
For
You?
Let's Talk!?
You Speak - I Listen!?
Let's Go To Our Eternal God
Who For Us
- With Spilt Blood -
Intimately Cares?

Why Are We Celebrating
AND
Elevating
Suicide!?

Why Have We Cast Away
The Holy God
In Whom
- From Whom -
We Get The Peace
Where With
We Can This Life Abide!?

People, We Have A Savior
Who ... For Us
Cried!
Died!
AND YET
IS NOW
Interceding For Us
 ... In God's Heaven ...
Where He Resides!

Are We So Intelligent
That We Can't See
That
Without The Next Generation
That It's The End For 
Me
AND
Thee aka Humanity?!
Oops!
I Forgot  ...
That THAT IS The Plan!

Satan's Bold Plan!
Destroy Who God Loves
AND
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice
Will Have Been
Premature!?!
AND
Stunningly ... UNSUCCESSFUL!?!

Yuk It Up!
The Laugh's On Jesus!
There'll Be No One To Call The Throne!!?
BUT
Hello! Dick Tracy
Jesus Christ IS Still
The King
AND
The Lord Of Everything
A Shelter In The Time Of Storm
A Covert
From The Roaring Lion
Of Destructive Fame -
The Accursed One!

Jesus Christ
IS STILL
The Everlasting Father
The Rock Of Our Salvation
Our Redeemer
Our Sealer
The Conqueror
The Great Physician
AND
The Healer Of Hearts
Hurting!

Jesus Saves!
Don't Run To The Grave!
Wait ... Patiently
With Endurance
In Faithful Prayer
For Your Call
To Rest
In
The Lord!

Please ... Let Us Stop Killing
What
Can Be Cured!
AND ...
What Can't Be Cured
Is To Be Endured
By Grace
Through Faith
In The Lord Jesus Christ!

Satan Is A Hot Knife
BUT
In Jesus Christ Is  Eternal Life!


For The Price Of Our Sin
We (But Not All)
Will Eventually Die In This Flesh
BUT
If We Have Been Faithful
To The Eternal God
We Shall Live Again ... It Is Promised!

Please Do Not Turn A Faithful Promise
Into A Gross Lie!
Please Do Not Hasten Away To Die!

Without Christ Ideation
Man Will Forever Die!

With Christ
Man Shall Eternally Fly!

Wait ... On The Lord!
