GROWTH FACTOR: The Seed!

A Living Seed Is Dead!
It Has No Way To Breed Life
But
When That Seed, Planted, Dies
It Becomes Alive
And
It Shall Bear Much Fruit
Out Of Its "Head!"

When That Seed Dies
It Cannot Live Again As That Seed
Because
It Goes Through The Transformation
With The Creator God Holding The Lead!

Do Not Think This Thing Strange!
Nothing Has Life In Or If Itself!
If The Lord Decides That Nothing Shall Grow
There Is No Created Being
Who Can Open That Closed Door!

We Would Do Well
As The Servants Of The Lord
To Ever Look To Him
For Direction, Correction And Protection
Because
It Does Us No Good
Like The Babel-Tower Babylonians
To Side-Step The Will Of God
To Protect Our Own Selves
From The Possibility Of Another Flood!

When We Walk According To The Will Of The Holy God
We Cannot Ever Be Manipulated
By The Wiles Of Our Adversary, King Fraud
Who Sought His Own Way
Refusing To Grow Where He Was Planted
And
Ended Up Being Uprooted
And
From Highest Heaven Being Transplanted!

A Seed Planted
Fulfilling The Will, Will Grow
And
Any Not Submissive To The Will Won't Grow
And
Their Lot Is To Be Consumed
The End Of Which They Won't Know!

Bow, Don't Burn!
Live, And Grow!
Produce Fruit Fit For The Garners Of The King
And
In The Day Of Harvest Celebration
Over You
The King, Welcoming
Shall Royally Sing!
To The Majesty Of Heaven, Brethren
For Dear Life, Cling!

Do You Desire To Ascend To The Heights Of Glory?

Easy!

Die To Self ... Daily!

Pssst!?! Which Way Are You Headed!?!

Two Roads To Travel

Broad And Smooth

Narrow And Rugged
This Is Fact So Don't Marvel

Two Types Of People
Different As Chalk Is From Cheese
Different In Character Life
Dress And Conversation
One Will Suffer Temporal Strife
One Will Lose Eternal Life

Hmmm ...

As Strange As It May Seem
Both People Purport To Serve 

The Same Holy God
Yet, Who He Is To Each
Is 

Cause For Conversation Deep

Not Conversation Cheap

The Facts Make It Plain ...

They Can't Both Be Right
One Of Them Is Wrong
But
The One Who Is Not Right With God
Is 

Seen In Carnal Eyesight

To Be Temporally Strong

Hindsight Is Not As Good As 

Insight And Foresight ...

If Only Men Could See
As The Living God Sees
Oh, That Men Would Elevate Their Gaze
Oh, That We Would Submit Ourselves To The Living God
And
Refuse To Have Anything Whatsoever
To Do With The Fallen Angel
Who Kept Not His Exalted Place

And

Who Now Lives In Perpetual Disgrace

No Excuses Accepted ...

Greed Envy Jealousy ... Sin
Without Cause, Without Justification
Enter Into Our Hearts

But
We Who Trust The Lord Of Life
The Savior Of Us All
Run Speedily To The Rock Of Ages
And 

Upon His Dear Name Call

Because

We Have No Desire To Continue The Fall

Comfort And Joy ...

Faith Grace

Confession Repentance 

Mercy Forgiveness

Peace

What A Glorious Release
Is 

Gained By The Prayer Of Faith
To The God Of All Grace
In The Name Of Him Who Died
Who, As Creator Sustainer Savior
Redeemer Lord God King
And
Friend To End
Will Not Suffer His Committed-To-Christ Child
To Be Offended Upended
By Satan, The Murderer Called First

Who Is The Father Of Lies

And

Who Is Forever Cursed

Upon Whom Do You Rely!?!

Is Satan Serving You 

Or

Is It The True And Living Holy God

That You Daily Serve!?!

Are You Trusting The Plain Truth

Or

Are You Being Falsely Flattered

By The Bold Lie!?!

Are You Following The Holy God

Or

The Unholy Grifter!?!

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

REMEMBER:

The Forever Home 

- Prepared For You -

In The Sweet By And By

** Is Not **

A Goat-Man Lie

Nor

Pie In The Sky!

Residence In Heaven

Is

Personal Choice

And

You, Alone, Make The Decision!

PRAYER: Father, I Know ...!

I Thank You, Lord

For The Peace

The Rest

The Hope

The Help

The Healing

And  

The Caring

That Brings Me

A Creature Of The Dust

Into The Holy Presence Of

The Great Creator God

Eternal

Loving Kind

Faithful And True

Who

Out Of Sacrificial Love

Draws Me

And

Calls Me

To Bless Me

To Save Me

And

To Seal Me

Against

The Vengeance Of The Great Day!

Lord,

I Hear You!

Help Me To Heed You!

Lord,

I Need You!

Help Me To Trust You

And

Always Believe You

So That Your Love

Will Do For Me

All That You Have

In The Living Word Promised

For Today

And

For Tomorrow

When Eternal Life Means For Me

Living With You

Being Near You

Ever Seeing You

And

Being Like You

In The Realm Of The Blessed

Where There Is Ever Always Joy

And

Never Any Sorrow

The Heart To Annoy!

I've Sometimes Wandered In My Thoughts, Lord!

Sometimes I Doubted In My Heart, Too!

But

The Holy Spirit

That Teacher Who Is Ever True

Has Led Me To That Place

Where I Now Know With Certainty

That You

The Holy God Of The Unfailing Word

Are Just

Faithful

Kind

And

Without Fail

Constant And True!

I Honor You, Lord!

I Worship You!

I Praise And Bless You

And

I Plead

In The Name Of The Lord Christ Jesus

Please

Keep Calling Me

Keep Chiding Me

Keep Trying Me

Keep Blessing Me

Keep Directing Me

And

Keep Feeding Me

With Food For My Spirit

And

Food For My Soul!

Father,

Please Keep Leading Me

And

Protecting Me

And

Bless Me To Always Heed Your Voice

For

I Know And I Humbly Acknowledge

That

I Am Lost Without You

And

I Really, Really, Need You!

Please Keep Me Close To You!

I Want To Arrive Safe

To The Eternal Home!

I Love You, Lord!

Keep Me Praying!

AMEN.

Self-Denial And Self-Satisfaction Are Roads!

As A Child
Under The Age Of Consent
I Was Taught
Corrected
Encouraged
Directed
AND
Led
To Cheerful Obedience!
I Was With God's Truth Fed!

As IS to Be Expected
With The Coming Of Age
I Strove For Autonomy!
For Independence, I Sped!

With Independence
Comes Decision-Making
Walk Right!
Look Left!
Turn About!
Go All Around!
See What Fits!
AND
Indulge!
Stand Your Ground!
AND
That Was When I Reached
The Start
The Gate
Where Men Have Dates
With ... Fate!?!

Independence Road
Is For Traffic ... One Lane

Until
- With Wild Oats For Sowing -
You Arrive At The Junction
Where All Men
- For a Period Of Reflection -
Must Abide:

Walk With Jesus!

OR

Walk With Pride

Walk With Jesus:
Straight Gate
Narrow Way
Self-Denial

DESTINATION: Eternal Life

Walk With Pride:
Wide Gate
Broad Way
Self-Satisfaction

DESTINATION: Destruction

Note That ...

Innumerable People
Choose
Walk With Pride
Without Ever Knowing
Their Ultimate Destination
BECAUSE
They Stop At Reading
Self-Satisfaction
AND
Let Out THE Roar:

"Freedom To Do Me!"

They Walk Through The Wide Gate
AND
Immediately Head To The Toy Store

AND
Thence To The Restaurants
Tawdry Tastes
AND
Perverted Appetite

AND
Thence To The Theater Of Living The Life
Where The Looped Film Is
"Sensations Galore!" 
You Never Hear A Patron Snore!

There Is Vomit All Over The Floor
AND
The Patrons Are Crying
Give Me More!
Give Me More!
Give Me More!
AND
Cut Off From The Son
- The Light Of Life
The True Source For Abundant Living -
Ultimately Dying!

Those Who Choose
Walk With Jesus
Know The Whole Score
Before Walking In The Gate!

They Know Sorrow
Disappointment

AND
Hardships
AND
Ardent Service
Is Their Allotment
But, Unphased
They Hold The Extended Marred Hand
AND
With Unshaded Eyes
Walk The Narrow Gate!

Their First Companion Is 

Truth In the Inward Parts
Followed By Obedience At All Costs
Grace For The Day
Mercy For Thee Is Free
AND
Redeeming Love!

There Is Jesus' Peace That Passes Understanding
AND
Rest For The Weary Soul
AND
The Song That Cheers Along The Way!

And  ...

Who Could Forget
The Weightier Companions
There To Bless God's Friends?!

There Is The Blood
Confessing Sin
Repenting Of Known Sin
Forgiveness Of Sin
Heart Right With God
AND
Set Apart For God's Service!

And, Of Course ...

There Are The Beloved Champions
Faith For Today
Jesus Is The Way
Spirit Of The Living God
Yes, Lord!
Hope For Heaven
Angels Excelling In Strength
Good News
Blessed Assurance
Wrestling With The Lord
Victory In Jesus
Thanks Be To God
AND
JESUS SAVES

AND

That Ever Cheerful Voice

Jesus Is Coming Soon!

Walk With Jesus 
Is No Easy Road!
No Cake Walk!

ANDNo Jazz Jump Up!

It Is Hard Work
Thankless Work
BUTRefining Work
Thoroughly Necessary!

All Who Go There
Willing To Endure All
Know Of A Surety That 

Strong Is Their Lord!

They Start The Walk
Burdened
BUTThey Give All To Jesus Christ Their Lord!

They Pray Without Ceasing!
They Humble Themselves!
They Eat The Bread Of Affliction!
AND
Their Heads Don't In Pride Swell!

Their Journey Is To Salvation!
They Will To Drink Of The River Of Water Of Life!
They Study To Show That They Are Of God Approved
AND
With The Grace Of God Ever Present
They Are By The Wiles Of The Devil
Unmoved!

LIFE ... Everlasting
In The Kingdom Of God
Is Their Motivator
To Stand Against The Wily Fraud!
They Love Not Their Lives
AND

Are Willing
In Christ
To Die
AND
They Cast Not Down Truth
Into The Street
AND
They Will Not Love
Use
Nor Accept
The Ever Convenient Lie!

Their Home Is Heaven!
Their Lord Is The Holy God!
Their Comfort Is The Holy Spirit!
Their Good Influencers
Are

The Holy Angels
Not

The Fallen Angels Of Satan The Liar
The Murderer
The Fraud!

There Is An Anticipated Celebration!
A Banquet!
A Coronation!
A Feast!

They Will Sit Down At The Welcome Table
AND
Jesus Christ
Their King
The Redeemer
Their Savior
Will Serve Them
Before Their Bright Mansion
Become Their Forever Homes!

BRETHREN ...

Please Read The Entire Sign Post
Before You Make Your Decision For 

Your Future Life!

There Is No Do-Over

Once One Ceases From Corporeal Life!

Do Not Become Blinded
By Convenience And Ease
For
Come THE Day Of Vengeance
Jesus Christ
- The Judge Of All Men -
Will Give Garments Of Righteousness
Immortality
Incorruption
Only To Those
Who Chose To Walk With Jesus
Holding Him In Their Hearts Close!

When You Love The Lord Christ

And

His Truth

And

Are Obedient

And

Take Correction

And

Direction 

You Will Never Face Destruction!

DESTITUTE OF TRUTH: Abundance Of Truth ... On Parade!?!

 

In The Dark Ages
The Powers That Were
Kept The People In ... Darkness
By Keeping The Truth Chained
Locked Up!

In This Age Of Enlightenment
With Its Information Overload
The Powers That Be
Put The People In Darkness
By Placing Truth 

- In All Its Variants -
In Plain View
Surrounded By Fancy Strobe Lights!

The Outcome Of These Actions
Is In The Preserved Word Proclaimed:

My People Are Destroyed

For Lack Of Knowledge!

Let Me Explain:

Old Truth
True Truth
The Word Of God
Used To Be Real-Real Special

Because It Could Shed Light
So It Was Locked Up
AND
Protected
As Too High For The Lowly
Too Good For The Bad

AND
Impossible To Be Used By
Just Any Common People!

The People Were Dumbed Down
Ignorant
Until ... The Living God Intervened
AND
The People Ignorant
Became People Of The Book
So ... 

Ever Ready Satan Changed His Tactics
To Special Effect
AND NOWTruth
Is As A Free-Range Chicken
Picking Up Food aka Substance
On A Walkabout
On The Fly! 

Have A Look See
AND
Then Have Your Say:

• There IS Truth
• Plain Truth
• Some Truth
• A Lot Of Truth
• Special Truth
• Particular Truth
• Gay Truth
• Lesbian Truth
• Trans Truth
• Common Truth
• Private Truth
• Forgotten Truth
• Fulminating Truth
• High Science Truth
• Secular Truth
• Sacred Truth
• Passing Truth
• Passable Truth
• Borrowed Truth
• Spent Truth
• Truth For The Day
• Truth For The Hour
• Momentary Truth
• Truth To Get Power
• Powerful Truth
• Power-Packed Truth
• Customized Truth
• Illuminated Truth
• Coalition Truth
• Collated From Lies Truth
• Standing Truth
• Moving Truth
• Professed Truth
• Confessed Truth
• Deniable Truth
• Confidable Truth
• Your Truth
• Their Truth
• Our Truth
• My Truth

AND

• God's Truth

AND

All Are "Perfectly" Valid

Authentic
Or
So The Powers Say!

There Is A Saying

A Penny Has No Real Weight
Until You Drop It
From Up High!

The Truth Is
The One Falling Penny Wouldn't Kill You
BUT
You Will Feel Its Passing Touch
BUT
Toss A Tied Up Bag Of Pennies
AND
Watch Out
Your Life Just Turned Into Total Cat's Guts!

The Same Is True With Versional Truth!

Brush Off A Version
A New Version Appears
A Version For Your Tastes
AND

There Is A Truthy Conversion
AND
Soon There As Many Versions
As There Are Tastes 

In Circulation
AND ALL TOO SOONAll That Is For Sale To The Masses
Are Many Tasty Perversions!

We Are Called To Know The Truth Of Almighty God
The Truth That Will Set Us Free
AND
Not To Indulge In Spurious Truth
The Version Of Truth
That Let's Man's Lust
Run And Roam 

Wild
Restraint Free!

Brethren,

Let's Take The Blinders Off
So That Sight Is Unrestricted!
Let Us Go To Jesus For Eye Salve
So That Vision Is Not Conflicted!

Jesus Christ IS The Way
The Truth
AND
The Light That Gives Life
The Same
Yesterday Today Tomorrow
The Rock Of Ages
That Clefts To Provide Protection
AND
Gives Power
To Stand Against Sin And Sinners
In The Trying Hour!

You May Ask General Moses The Deliverer!

There Is Great Difference

Between

Having Information

And

Possessing Knowledge!

What Is In YOUR Possession?!

They Are All In The Room! + Prayer

Pride
Follies Of Sin
Deceitfulness Of Riches
Gift Of Life
Well-Dressed Temptation
Free Mercy
Grace S. Sufficient
Willful Sin
Jesus Saves
D. Savior S. Calling
Plain Truth
Do As I. Please
Living By Faith
Confess N. Repent
Available Grace
Way Of Escape
Repent N. B. Baptised
Contrite Heart
Trust N. Obey
AND
God Forgives
Are All In The Room
Present
AND
Accounted For!

No Excuse For Sin
Keeps Watch!

Believe N. Live
Keeps Record Of The Life's Event

AND

Brazen Deception
Aka Beelzebub The Bold
AND
His Minions
- Hearts Stone Cold -
Are Trying To Breach The True Foundation
Trying To Tear Down Prayer Changes Things
Trying To Rewrite Sealed N. Settled-Truth
BECAUSE
Free Will
AND
Own Choice
Were Up For Grabs!

They Like To Turn Living Tissue
Into Bare Scabs!

To Put It Mildly ...

Heart O'Flesh
Was In The Straight Betwixt Those Two
The Rock ... Of Ages
AND
DThe Hard Place ... To Damnation!

Decisions! Decisions!
Decisions Must Daily Be Made:

Fall On The Rock ... Of Ages
AND
Be Broken
To Be Saved
Which Way Is Known Hard
AND
Painful
AND
Wearying
BUT
Offers Peace And Rest
AND
Forgiveness Of Sin
Sure Salvation
Provision
Protection
Correction Direction
Pleasant Work
AND
With Faithful Endurance
- When The Last Trump Shall Sound -
Redemption
Glorification
Immortality
AND
- Obviously -
Eternal Life
In The Great God's Paradise!

That Way Ain't Easy!

It Should Be Noted
That If The Rock ... Of Ages Falls On Him
It Is Game Forever Over!

If He Willingly Chooses
To Go To The Hard Place ... To Damnation
The Party Is On!
Liberty Is License!
No Rules
All Is Momentary Reward
Bright Lights
Non-Stop Stimulation
Action
A Camera Or Two
Access Reach And Grasp
Live Life Hard Fast And Loose
And ...!

BUT ...!

What If ...?!

Then, Again ...!

He Left The Splendor Of Heaven!

He Died For You On Mount Calvary! 

He Took Your Stain

To Make You Clean Again! 

He Is Calling You! 

His Life Is Yours Free To Gain!

******

Rules! Rules! 

Too Many Rules! 

Live As Your Self Likes!

It Is All Good! 

Feelings Are Real! 

When The Party Is Over  ... Who Cares?! 

Good Night Is The Last Night!

Come And In Gay Abandon Dance!

Take The Night Flight!

The Only Thing That Happens Is Soul Blight!

Lord,
I Need Help!
Have Mercy On Me!
I, Here, Fall On You!
Save Me!
From Sure Damnation I Now Flee!

Beelzebub Is A Liar!
He Keeps Harping On The Lie
Of Man's Immortal Soul!
He Keeps Saying
That You Have To Save All Men
So Right-Living Is The Commodity Oversold!

Father,
I Need You
I Desire Your Life
Help Me!
I Am Pleading!
Lead Thou Me!
Guide Me!
I Desire To Survive The Strife!

The Prayer Of Faith
Availed Heart O'Flesh Much
AND

He Walked Away From
Willful Sinning And Such
AND
He Continues His Daily Walks With The Faithful God

Knowing That With Faithful Work
AND
Endurance
He Will
At The Appointed Time
INHERIT
INHABIT
The Great Reward!

What Will YOU Choose?!

PRAYER: Father, I Know That You Hold My Hand!

Father,

I Am Willing To Follow You!

Lead Me!

I Am Willing To Walk!

Guide Me!

I Am Willing To Learn!

Teach Me!

I Am Willing To Speak

So Please Grant Me Utterance

And

Be With Me

To Guard Direct

And

Correct Me

Even As I Endeavor

To Do As You Bid Me This Day!

Father,

I Desire To Be A Child

After Your Heart!

Help Me To Daily

- Hour By Hour And  Moment By Moment -

Rely Upon You

The Holy And Eternal God!

I Desire, Lord

The Will

To Let Your Spirit

My Very Soul Fill

So That I May Follow

Your Blessed Directions!

And, Father

When I Sin

- Never With Deliberation

Or Presumption - 

I Pray For That Spirit

That Permits Me To Accept

Reproof And Correction!

Father,

I Willingly Acknowledge

My Known Sin Against You

The Holy God

And

I Humbly Beg Your Pardon

And

I Ask You

To Help Me Not To Again

Commit The Sins Of Yesterday

For

I Desire To Grow

In Saving Faith Through Grace!

In Your Word, Lord

You Say That 

Rebellion Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft

And

Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry!

Pity Me, Lord

And

Make Me Anew

And

Cleanse Me From Those Things

Which Will Keep Me

From Walking To

And

With You!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Sacrifice

My Faithful Trust In You

To Guarantee My Personal Safety

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, I Plead

For I Truly Know

That You Do Indeed Hold My Hand!

I Love You, Lord! 

Please Have Mercy

And

Continue To Bless Me

According To Your Will

And

In Your All-Knowing Way!

AMEN.

SIN: Transaction Analysis

All That Sin Does

Is Encourage Us
To Sell What Can't Be Bought
To Buy What Can't Be Sold!

And, Pray Tell
What Would That Be?!

Man Can't Buy Peace
AND
Man Can't Sell Salvation!

Greedy, Discontented, Men 

Daily Sell Their Soul's Salvation
In The Hope Of Buying ...!

Don't Say Buying!
That Is Such A Harsh Term!

Sorry If That Truth Offends
Your Tender Sensibilities!

Is Purchase A Good Term For You?!

Much Better!

Greedy, Discontented, Men 

Daily Sell Their Soul's Salvation

In The Hope Of PURCHASING Peace
BUT
That Is A Lying Transaction
Concocted
By The Salvation Thief!

The Living God Gives Good Gifts Unto Men
AND
Peace
AND
Salvation
Are Included
AND
All That Is Needed
To Make The Transaction Whole
Is For Us To Give Up Something
That We Never Needed!

Every Single Thing That I Have
In This World I Need!
Everything I Do For My Career Is Seed
And I Refuse To Give Anything Up
Until I Have a Full Silver Or Gold Cup!

Is That Your Final Say?

Yup!

Your Funeral!

Excuse Me?!
Who's Dying?!
Who Said Anything About Dying?!

You Did!

No, I Didn't!Did!
Didn't!Did!
Didn't! Didn't! Didn't!

How Childish!

Stop Teasing Her!
This Is Serious Businesssss!

Oh, Sorry!
I Got Sidetracked And Forgot
The Snake In The Tall Grass!

Please Don't Tell Me About That!
I Despiiiiise Snakes!

The One Thing In This World
That Mankind Needs Not 

Is Sin And Sinning
For
Against The Soul
It Makes A Blot
AND
All Who Are Willing
To Be Held In Its Dark Control
Are
Those Who Belly-Up
To The Devil's Stew
In An Unmerchantable Deal
Which Is An Eternal Flop!

IF 

Sin Gives You Things
It Stands To Reason
That Things Make You Sin
So
We Need To Let Go Of The Thing-Dash
So That Our Lives Do Not Become
A Sin-Hash!

Look, I Hear What You Say

But I Am Young
And I Still Have Time
With Sin To Play
So
Be Not Too Concerned For Me
For
I Will Do My Do
And Apologize To The Dear Lord
When I Am Well Good And Ready!

Steupse!

Ah, The Rude Arrogance Of Youth!

Do Today
What Can Be Done Today
For
Tomorrow Is NOT PROMISED!

Walk Right Now
In The Sight Of The Lord
Who Delivered Up His Life
To Purchase Your Access
To The Eternal Life
That GOD HAS To All Men PROMISED!

Sin Is A Tight Rope
Over A Slippery Slope
That Culminates In The Lake Of Fire
AND
All It Takes For You Land In Hell
Is Denial Of Sin's Sinfulness
AND
Calling Sinning's Sinfulness
A Hater's White Lie!

Live That Way

AND

Thou Shalt Surely Die!

Oh, Dear! Oh, Dear!

You Said Die Again!

I Don't Like What I Am Hearing!

May We Talk Some More

For I Am Of Death Fearing?!

AND

A New Life Started

From

That

Very

Day!

What, Now

Do YOU Say?!
