HEDGE OF PROTECTION: Long Life

The Promise 
Is 
Given To All Who Choose To Believe 
The Word Of The Living God 
And 
Choose To Stay Sheltered Behind 
The Hedge Of Protection Around His People Called 
The Ten Commandments! 

The Promise Is Not Just For Life Now 
But
For Life Everlasting In The Realm Of 
The Forever Blessed! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Used Wisdom, Understanding And Knowledge 
To Set Our Planet Earth
And 
All It Contains
- Seen, Unseen, Known, And Unknown -
In Order! 

This Same Lord 
Has Given Us The Opportunity 
And 
The Wherewithal 
To Set Our Personal Planet Aka Our Individual Lives In Order 
Through His Gift To Us Of His Wisdom 
Which Is Accompanied By Spiritual Understanding 
So That The Spiritual Knowledge Which We Will Acquire 
By The Holy Spirit's Leading, Guidance
Teaching, Correction, And Constant Feeding
Will Cause Us To Fill Our Hearts, Homes, Lives
With Pleasant And Precious Things 
Which Can Never Erode Or Get Old! 

Faith, Hope, Trust, Obedience
And 
A Willing Spirit That Follows After Truth, Wisdom
And 
The Wisdom Of The Truth
Shall Arrive Safely On The Peaceful Shore 
To Stand Victorious In The Presence Of The Truth, Himself
Jesus Christ, The Lord! 

Brethren,

The Illuminated Minds Say That
"A Promise Is A Comfort For A Fool!"
Don't Be As They Are And Be Worldly Wise
But
Be Ye Wise ... Unto Soul Salvation
And
Become A Fool ... For The Lord Christ
He Who, Alone, Blesses And Utterly Saves!
To His Sure Promises
Choose To Say:

"Yes, Lord!

Thank You, Jesus!

Amen!"

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Psalm 1 - KJV - REAL!

I Know From Where I Have Come!
(That's My Documented History) AND
I Have Been About The Living God Taught!
(That's True Doctrine)! I Make Unto Him Humble Supplication!
(That's My Fervent Praying) ANDI Laud His Holy Name
As, Indeed, I Ought!
(That's My Joyful Praise)!

By Way Of Heartfelt Confession
I Give The Gift Of My Sins
To The Eternal Holy God
Who Is My Savior

My Lord, Sovereign!

By Prayerful Petition
I Present My Cares, Sorrows, Griefs And Woes
To The Living God
Who Once Trod This Earth
AND

Who Has Left Us The Good Way
To - In Faith - Mightily Grow!

By Way Of Thanksgiving

For Answered Prayer

AND

Often Just To Share
I Sing In Praise

"The Joyful Hallelujah!"To Him Who Is God Of All
AND
My Beloved King!

AND

Because
In Him
I Know That I Am Saved
Safe
Hedged In
AND
Secure

I Know The Value Of Psalm 1 To My Heart
- My Christian Walk -
For
It Describes The Two Classes Of Humans
Who Will Be Here
At The Time Of The End Of The Earth!

It's Almost Time To Depart!

Juxtaposed ...

I Desire To Be The Man Blessed
That Is ... Happy
AND
Not That Other Who Is Cursed
Who Walks In The Way
- Who Lives The Life Of -
The Ungodly
Who Stands Companiably With Sinners
AND
Sits Comfortably With Scorners
Denying The Creator Of Us All
AND
The Universe!

Apostle Peter ... Wallowing
In The Ungodly Fear Of The Unconverted Heart
Did All This
Denying His Master And Lord
AND
At The Expected Cock's Crowing
- Convicted Of Known Sin -
Wept ... Bitterly!

What Of Me And Thee?!

I Desire To Be Planted In King Jesus
That Known Giver Of Life
Who Is The Free Flowing
River Of Water Of Life!

The Flowing River Of Water Of Life
Gives Life Unto Needy
Thirsting
Me!

The Lord 

Is 

My Known And Heard Shepherd
AND
For His Righteousness
I, Parched
- By Walking Through The Desert Of Sin -
Thirst!

I Desire The Leaves Of My Tree
To Be Ever-Green
Never Stunted
Never Burnt
AND
I Desire Ever Always
To Bear Fruit For My Savior
Readily To Be Seen When He Sees Me
Lush-Leaved
Growing
Planted In My Well-Watered Earth!

I Desire For My Lord

- From The Work Of My Hand -
To Have A Harvest For His Garner
Ready
Whether 30, 60, Or 100-Fold!
I Shall For My Master
Work ... Steady!

I Shall Cultivate My Plot Of Sod!
I Shall Manure It With The Living Word
The Law
The Prophets
Psalms Hymns Spiritual Songs
The Gospels
AND
I Shall Hold On To The Promise Of The Revelation

Though Others May Insult My Humble Faith
AND
Scoffing, Say:

"God" Is An Imaginary Friend

For Grown-Ups!"

BUT, IUnperturbed
Shall Say:

I Am A Child Of The Living God 

And

He Is Real

- Conquering King Real - 

And

I Know That He Is The God Able

And

To Bless Me Abundantly

He Shall Never, Ever, Fail!

Psalm 1 - KJV - 

Is 

Here For Me

AND
To Tell The Salvation Story
To Man Big Or Small

AND
For Believers One And All
Who Choose To Trust The Living Word
AND
Do The Will
AND
To Help Me Not To Known Popular Fables
Captivated ... Fall!

As For Those Who Choose
To Walk In OWN Way
To Do The Deceitful Will Of That Other
Who Chose Wilfully
To Walk In His Own Way
I Must Inform You
That Sin Cannot Profit
Because It Costs
BUT
Does Not Ever Pay
No Matter What Satan May Say
To Prettily Entice You

With His Dark Arts To Play!

From His Devilish Sophistries,
In The Name Of Christ The Righteous

I Beseech You ... Please

With Alacrity
Deliberately

Forcefully
Turn! Turn!
RUN AWAY!

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT:

Earth AND Heart

Are Made Of The Same Letters

And

Out Of Earth And Heart

Are Found

Tear, Tare, Hear, Hate, Heat!?!

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

Let's Take Heed To Ourselves:

Hear ... The Loving, Living, Word Of The Lord!

Shed A ... Tear ... Of Contrition

And

Refuse To Be A ... Tare!

Hate ... Sin

And

Depart Unrighteousness

And

We Will Never Feel

Damnation's ... Heat!

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

The Earth Is The Lord's!

Earth Is God's Footstool!

Jesus Christ

IS

Knocking At Our Carnal Heart:

Let's Let Him In!

Jesus Christ Will Give Willing Man

A New Heart!

Let's Ask For It!

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

My Heart

Your Heart

My Portion Of Earth

Your Portion Of Earth

BELONGS

To The Eternal God!

Think About It ... And Pray:

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord

Is Ending!

The Darkness Is Falling

And

Men's Hearts Are Grown Cold

But

You, Our Savior, Redeemer

Creator, Sustainer

Are Ever The Same

Loving, Giving, Blessing

Faithful, True, Holy

Eternal God!

May Your Grace, Lord

Be Ever Sufficient

For Us Believers

In Times Like These!

Keep Our Hearts

In Your Faith

Ever Whole!

In Jesus Christ's Name

We Humbly Pray

And

Willingly Plead!

AMEN.

Time For A Think ...!

You Are A God-Fearing Christian!

Have You Considered
The Difference Between

The Worldly ...
"Things Happen!"AND
The Biblical ...

"All Things Work Together For Good...!?"

Have You Considered
The Difference Between
A Life Consecrated To Christ
AND
The Christless Life Dedicated To Vice?

Have You Considered
The Difference Between
A Heart For God
AND
The Heart That Is Its Own God?

Have You Considered
The Difference Between
The Lord Of Life
AND
The Life Of The Lordly?

Have You Considered
The Difference Between
"Go Ye Into All The World And Preach The Gospel ...!"
AND
"Go Around The World And Eat!?"

Have You Really Considered
- Truly Contemplated -
The Difference Between

• Satan And The Savior
• Truth And Error
• Fact And Fiction
• Angels And Demons

AND

• Faith And Doubt?

Do You Realize Or Recognize

That You Been Touched By Grace
AND
Held In The Arms Of Mercy?

What Do Think About ...

Standing In Truth Versus Dying In Error?

Living To Love
Versus
Loving To Live
Versus
Living For Loving
Versus
Loving Living?

Have You Ever Really Thought On:

God Is Good All The Time!
AND
All The Time God Is Good!?
Do We Even Appreciate What Is Good About God
AND
God's Goodness To A Fallen Race
Now Filled With Beyond Wise Ingrates?

Stop For A Moment
And Think On ...

Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor
And Are Heavy Laden
And I Shall Give You Rest!
... Take My Yoke Upon You
And Learn Of Me
And Ye Shall Find Rest
... Unto Your Souls!

Receive Rest For The Body
AND
Find Rest For The Soul!

How Is It Possible
To Get Rest By Carrying A Yoke?

Have You Thought On The Fact
That Learning Of Christ
The Meek And Lowly One In Heart
Causes One To Find ... Rest?!

Have You Thought
Even For A Mere Moment
On The Statements:

"The Lord Jesus Thinks On Me!"

"I Go To Prepare A Place For You ...

I Will Come Again And Receive You Unto Myself

That Where I Am There Ye May Be Also?!

And ...

What Of:

They That Wait Upon The Lord

Shall Renew Their Strength ...

Mount Up With Wings As Eagles ...

Run And Not Be Weary ... Walk And Not Faint?!
AND
I Waited For The Lord And He Inclined Unto Me?!

No Justice - No Peace
AND
The Peace Of God Passes Understanding
AND
Lean Not To Your Own Understanding?!

Have You Considered
What It Means When Christ Said:

 

AND

When Man Says:

He Who Has The Most Toys Win?!

How Do YouLive In The World
AND
Not Be Of The World
IF
You Are In Christ?!

What Is The Difference Between:

Giving Thanks With A Grateful Heart
AND
Politely Saying: "Thanks!"

Fear God!
AND
Do Not Fear!

How Does One Yield To God?

Can Yielding To God

Be Likened To Yielding The Right Of Way

In A Traffic Situation?

Who Is Driving Your Life?

How Is One A Slave To Whom He Obeys
When Jesus Sets The Captive Free
AND
Says:

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice! 

AND

Disobedience Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft! 

AND

IF You Love Me
Keep My Commandments?

AND

 

Consider That ...

A Worldly Mind Has Objections 
To Every Statement
Every Saying
Every Commandment Of God
For
Being Given Over To A Carnal Mind
He Has No Insight
Into The Things Of God!

Carnal Things
Are Understood Carnally!
Spiritual Things
Are Discerned Spiritually
FOR
The Proof Of This
Is In The Statement Of God:

Come ... Let Us Reason Together!

Which Statement Is Not An Attribute Of The Fraud!

Satan Is Free
To Freely Lie ... Faithfully!

Jesus Christ
- The Living God -
Is Faithful
AND
Offers Eternal Life Free To All
Freely!

Truth Cannot Be Bent
Be Turned
Be Covered
Or
Be Colored!

Truth Stands Up On Its Own Merits! 

Truth Cannot
- By Man Nor Satan -
Be Lowered!

Truth
May Will
Be Cast Down In The Street
BUT
What Does That Change
When He That Is The Truth
Is High And Lifted Up
Settled
Reigning
ANDEnthroned
In Heaven?

What Does It Profit A Man
To Gain The Whole World
AND YET
Lose His Own Soul
When
For A:

"Lord, Save Me!"

He Can Leave Satan 
AND
His Like
To The Good Offices Of Christ Jesus 
The Eternal God!

Why Do We Trust
The Marked-For-Death Dying
When We Can Trust Wholly On Him
Who Conquered Sin And Death
By
- Of His Own Self -
From Death Arising
AND
Rising Up
Glorified
To Receive The Kingdom's Throne
AND
Not Accept The Words Of Those
Who Can't For Their Own Sins
Hope To Atone?

Why Do We Worry When
We Can Wait On Almighty God?

It Must Be Said ...

I Look Forward To The Day
When I Shall
- In Peace -
See My Lord Christ
When
Touch Me!
Handle Me! 

AND
Let Us Break Bread Together!
Will No Longer Be A Hope
BUT
The Thing Faith-To-Face Nice!

I Look To The Day
When Hope Is Realized
When All Self-Denials
Will Be Proved To Have Been Worth
All Of Life's Trials
When With My Own Eyes
In My Own Perfected, Immortalized, Flesh
I Shall Jesus
Who
- For My Salvation -
Took On Man-Death
To Get Me And My Kind
The Christ-Life
Which Is
The Way Back To The Eternal God
AND
Out Of The Decimating Clutches
Of The Evil One
Who Thought That He Could Kill ... God!
Oh, Foolish, Wicked, Satan.

Brethren, Beloved
We Know Of A Surety

That The Eternal God Is Not Mocked

So ...With Faithful Consideration
- By Contemplation -
Answer The Questions!

Do The Comparisons
AND
Of Your Own Life
- For Your Own Soul's Sake -
Take Stock
AND
Take Your Salvation
- Your Gift -
Free From The Living God
AND
Turn Your Eyes
- Fixedly -
Upon Christ Jesus
Who Paid Dearly
- How Much We Shall Never Know -
To Get You Me Us
Out
From Under
Satan, The Fraud!

Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!
Come To Jesus Now
AND
In The Great Day
- That Appointed Time -
Join
AND
Be 
A Forever Part Of 
The Heavenly Host!

It Must Also Be Said ...

IF

The God You Presently Serve

Requires You
- For Him It Her Them -
To Be Eyes, Ears, Mouth, Feet
Sustainer
AND
Provider
It Is Time To Trade Up
To The Living Loving God
Who Does Not Sleep
BUT
Loves To Count
AND
Account For
AND
Care For His Sheep!
He Does Them Safely Keep!
I Am ONE Of Them!
Won't You Join Me?!

Praise God!

Bless God!

Deny The Fraud

AND

Accept

The Righteous Man's Reward!

Crucify HIM Again

Crucify Him Again?!

He made the heavens, the earth, the seas.

Crucify HIM!

He created man to be like Him, and for worship.

Crucify HIM!

What did He ever do to you?

He made Redemption's plan to save you!

Ohh! Crucify HIM!

Refrain #1:

Have you no shame?

He has no blame!

He loves you, yes!

He's glorious!

Why crucify HIM again?

Refrain #2

He is the King! He has no sin!

He loves you, yes! He's glorious!

He is the King! His name's JESUS!

Don't crucify HIM … again?

Don't crucify HIM again! **BJC**

From where I'll never roam!
