THE DEVIL'S FOUR D's: Guard Your Heart!

Guard Your Heart! 

Satan Aka The Devil ... The Adversary Of Our Souls

Uses Four Little "D's" 

Against Those Of Us Who Have Chosen 

To Walk Softly Before The Lord Of Life! 

Doubt ... The Opposite Of Faith

Discontentment ... Which Encourages Us To Indulge Envy

Discouragement ... Which Promotes Lack Of Trust In God

And 

Disregard ... For The Word Of Our God Eternal 

Which, Left Unchecked

Will Surely Lead To Destruction And Damnation! 

Beloved, 

Know This: 

Satan Is The Father Of Lies 

So Anything That He Throws At You 

Has Not A Strand Of Truth's DNA In It! 

Doubt Decimates: 

Embrace Your Daily Gift Of Faith! 

A Contented Heart Can Eat Grass And Still Get Fat: 

The Lord Always Supplies Our Needs 

Out Of His Riches In Glory! 

Discouragement 

Is 

A Cheap Screen To Obscure The Light Of Truth 

Who Is Love And Peace 

And

Your Only Way To Enjoy Eternal Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Never, Ever, Choose To Disrespect The Creator God

By Disregarding His Holy Word

His "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Words Have Weight

Power 

Content

And 

Intent Aka Intention! 

The Word Of Almighty God Is Truth

Aka Saving Truth

And

Truth Stands Eternal! 

Faith Cannot Fail: 

Be Strong In The Lord!

Diligently Work Your Faith 

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace!

 

PRAYER: I Won't Complain, Dear Father!

Father,

I Love You!

I Need You To Survive

And

I Am Not Even Going To Try To Survive

Without You By My Side!

You Are My Father

My Savior

My God

My Lord

And

I Choose To Stand Up For My Jesus

Who Will Carry Me To Your House

To The Promised, Heavenly, Reward!

Why Should I Be Discouraged

With Life And Its Vagaries

When Troubles Come A-Knocking

And

Problems Multiply Like Fleas

When I Have Your Glorious Hand

Giving Help

Providing Healing

Drawing A Tapestry Of Love, Joy

Truth, Peace And Blessing

Giving Me  Reason To Hope And To Cope!?!

Father, 

You Know That I Am Human

A Child Of Love

Made Of Dust

Given Your Holy Breath Of Life

A Sinner

Weak

Needing Your Love, Grace And Mercy

Each And Every Day

So

I Will Not Stand Up

On The Pillar Of My Natural Weakness

Using It As A Cheap Excuse For Sin!

With Your Richest Blessings

To Walk, In Faith, For Love

With Him Through Whom I Can Do

All Things That Are Good, True, Noble

Please And Truly Delight!

Father, 

I Could Murmur And Complain!

I Could Cuss Up A Storm And Be Profane!

I Could Sell My Birth-Right To Eat Red Beans 

Which Come Out In The Draught!

I Could Walk Wild And Willful

Deliberately Negotiating Satan's Damnable Path

And

I Could Give Up On Your Promises

But

In The Blessed Name Of My Jesus

I Can't Because I Believe You At Your Word!

I Trust You!

I Trust The Promises Made!

I Feel The Blessings Poured Out!

I Daily Receive The Day's Gift Of Workable Faith

And

I Am Enfolded In Your Mercy

And

Ministered To By Your Grace

And

Comforted, Taught, Guided And Chided

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Protected And Influenced By Your Holy Angels

And

Bathed In Your Love Divine!

I Have Every Reason To Sing Your Praise!

You Know My Name! 

You Made My Frame! 

You Hear My Cry!

I Know You Love Me, Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally

And

You Know From My Heart That I Desire You! 

Please Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Please Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

Whether I Can See Or Feel You! 

Please Help Me Live Faithfully On The Living Word

The Bread Of Life

And 

To Walk With Endurance

To Watch With Diligence

To Wait With Patience

To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation

Unto The Day Of Redemption

Or While This Short Life Shall Last! 

Lord, 

I Am Your Child: Feed Me! 

I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus: Teach Me! 

I Am Your Servant: Commission Me! 

I Am Willing To Work

So Please Bless Me To Obey!

Please, Dear Father

Equip Me To Serve

And

Strengthen Me To Perform

Enlivening My Mind

And

Granting Me Wisdom And Understanding

So That The Knowledge Which I Acquire

Will Bless Me

And

To Come To Know And Love My Lord Christ

Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!

Physical Anxiety
To Indulge In Sin!

In The Beautiful Land
Beyond The Sky!

Why Are You So Easily Discouraged!?!
Why Are Your Feelings So Easily Hurt!?!
Don't You Understand That In Getting Home To Jesus
We Shall Have Trials
Tribulations
Tests Of Faith!?!

It Is Not A Cake-Walk!
It's A Gauntlet
And
We Must Cooperate With The Holy Spirit
If 
We Are To See The Accomplishment
- By The Holy God Faithful -
Of The Good Work!

We Are Not To Walk Like Unbelievers
Nor Dress As They Do
And
Talk
Of Looking Back
Going Back
Giving Up
Running Away
When We Have The Holy God
And
All Heaven
Rooting For And Working Unstintingly
To Help Us Achieve ... In Flying Colors
The Promised And Great Reward!

Know The Right ...

You Have The Preserved Word: Prayerfully Read It!
You Have The Access Of Prayer: Enter In Without Fear!
You Have The Holy Spirit's Comfort: Rest Easy In Peace!
You Have Holy Angels For Companions:
Pick Up Your Heels!
These Excellent
Excelling In Strength Companions
Will Not Your Side Leave!

And Never Forget ...

You Have Gifts Of
Mercy, Grace And Faith
Each According To The Day That You Will Meet!

Get Up!
Stand Up ... And Be Counted For Christ!
Do Not Let Your Life Be Wasted!
Give Your Anxiety To Jesus!
Do Not In Sorrow Indulge In Vain Sleep!
Give Your Anxiety To Jesus
And
He Will Give You Calming Peace
Forever To Keep!

Get Thee Hence

Unto

Christ Jesus

And

Your Daily Rations Reap!
