ARGUMENTS: Concluding The Matter + PRAYER: Lord, Make Me Whole!

Stop It!
You Stop It!

You Are Deaf!
And Your Heart Is Blind!

What Did You Just Say?!

I Did Not Stutter!
I Plainly Said:
"Your Heart Is BLIND!!

How Can A Heart Be Blind?!?

A Heart Is Blind 
If It Can't See
The Revealed Heart That Loves It Best
AND
It Refuses To Acknowledge 
The Voice
That Is Calling It Home To Safety
And Rest!

It Is Blind
When It Refuses To See The Truth
Trusting Instead
In Lusty Fables
Seeing Only Self-Portraits
That Lie
As It Writes
Self-Encouragement
To Hell
Pretending
It's A Letter To A Horse Stable!

There Is Really No Need
For You To Be So All-Fired Rude!

He Really Loves You!
Who Are You Talking About?!

He Gave You An Open Invitation
To Go And Live In His House!
Who ... What Are You Talking About?!

He Saved You Last Night!
Who ... Where Did You Hear That?!
Why Did He Do That?!
I Don't Understand Him!

I Thought You Didn't Know Who He Is?!
Well ...! Ah hmm ...!

He's Coming Back ...!
When?! Where?! Why?!

Oh, Never Mind!
It Doesn't Really Matter To You!
Forget I Said Anything ...!

No, I Can't!
I Feel Foolish!
I Am Confused!
So Many Differing Opinions
That Are For Or Against Him
And I Can't Seem To Choose!

I'm Tired Of Lying To Myself!
I'm Tired Of Doctrine This
And Doctrine That
Learned Opinion This
And Educated Opinion That!
I Need To Know The Real-Real Man ... God
For I'm Tired Of Two-Stepping
With Yonder Satan The Fraud!

Okay. Okay!
You've Stated The Problem
AND
You've Named All The Parties Involved
BUT
Do You Know Who To Go To - And How -
To Receive Your Solution?
I Think So!

Will You Call Him By His Name?
I Believe So! Yes! I Will!

How Will You Approach Him?
Humbly. Respectfully. Prayerfully.
With Hope. In Faith. Utilizing Trust!

Wow!
So Why Were We Arguing If You Know All This?!
Oooh! Forget That!

Okay! Soooo, When Will You Approach Him?
Maybe Later ... When I Get Home .. ! Or Tomorrow!
I Don't Knowwww!

How About Right Now?!
Right Now?!

He Is Here!
Where?!
How Did He ...?!

Talk To Him!
He Loves You!
Tell Him The Truth!
He Will Take Care Of You!

NO, HE ... can't ...!
I Can't ...!
I Feel ... So ... Ashamed!

Come On!
You Can Do This!
Let Him Into Your Heart!
He Will Take Care Of The Rest!
Go Ahead ...!

Okay!
Okay!
Here Goes Nothing! ... Everything!
I Am Going To Do It!

PRAYER:

Come Into My Heart, Lord Jesus!

Bless It And Make It Your Home!

Come Into My Heart, Lord Jesus

And

Depose Satan From His Stolen Throne!

I Am Tired - My Sins I Confess!

My Soul Is Sorrowing -

Satan In My Life Is A Constant Pest!

Please Heal Me, Lord, Of My Distress!

I Repent! I Repent!

Help Me, Oh God, Not Again To Relent!

My Youth, Oh, Lord

Has Been Truly Misspent

And Now

Like My Pocket

My Soul Is Out To Let!

Help Me, Lord!

Heal Me!

Guide Me!

Show Me The Right Way

And

With Your Promised Grace

Take Me To That Heavenly Place!

I Need To Be Whole!

Help Me To Walk Right
Into Your Sheep Fold!

Please Give Me Back
That Which That Wicken Satan Stole!

Fix Me, Lord Jesus!

Make Me, In You, Whole
For Out In The World
All I Felt Was Burdened
Cold!
Draw Me Into Your Warmth
Remove The Chill From My Soul
For I Desire To Be Yours Only
Save My Soul, Lord!
Save My Soul!

AMEN.

Amen! Amen! Amen!

HAPPY SABBATH + A Word From The Word?!

That Sermon
Convinced Me
AND
Opened My Understanding
Today
BUT
Something Important Was Missing
For
I Didn't Feel The Need To Change 
Any Of My Old Ways!

That Sermon Was En Pointe!

I Tell You

My Conscience Was Seriously Aroused

BUT

Something Was Missing

For

My Head Is Still In The Cloud!

That Sermon Was Amazing!

It Surely Gave Me All The Feels!

It Excited All My Emotions

BUT

Get Me On My Knees?!

Oh, Puleeze!!

So, Brethren
Is The State Of Modern Christianity
Appealing To Heads
Dampening Hearts
AND
Tickling Senses!
No Jesus In Joy Is Found 
BUT
A Whole Lotta Satan
On The Go-To Chart Carts
That Seriously Freely Abound!

A Sermon That Leaves Your Senses Roiling
Is Seriously Lacking The Holy Spirit Of God!
It Lacks The Seasoning Of Reasoning Together
By Which God Calls
All ... To His Holy Heart!

"Come Let Us Reason Together!"
IS
A Call To Parlay!
God Will Show You
His Sure Certain Way
AND
He Will Prove To You
That Looking Out For You Is His Way!

But ...

A Sermon That Appeals
Only To Your Learned-Human Head 
AND
Your Excitable Skin
Is Not Going To Turn You Away
From Your Own Wicked Way!

Remember ...

God Said That
The Heart Of Man Is Deceitful
Desperately Wicked
AND
Beyond All Knowing
AND
If You Trust In Your Own Heart
With No Input From Him Who Died
You Should Know That For Your Sin
You, Yourself
Are Going To Have To Die!

So ...

Without A Convinced
Convicted Understanding
That "Good News!" Message
Will Fall Upon
A Very Hard Heart
The Stony Unproductive Ground
Where Not A Good Fruit Tree 
Will E'er Be Found!

And, So ...

We See - Here -
A Need For Renewal
Revival
Reformation 
A Need For The Under-Shepherds
To Invite The Holy Spirit
To Guide Them
In Preparing For The People
A Straight 
Two-Edged Sword Word!
A Word From The Word
Blessed Of Heaven
AND
Not From
The Downloads Of The Popularly Pious Of 
The TV-Land World!
A Word That Will Cull Believing Sheep 
From The Doubting Goat Herd
Causing Them To Change Their Ways
AND
Be Found Fit For Jesus Christ To Keep!

Jesus Said That
In His Kingdom
There Will Be A Congregation
Made Up Of 
Every Kindred
Every Nation
Every People
Every Tongue!
A People
With Heads And Hearts
In Alignment
With The Holy Spirit
Convinced
AND
Convicted
Not Emotionally Caught Up
AND
Swayed By Smooth Rhetoric
AND
The Devilish Dark Arts!

Are You Able To 
On The Good Word Heard To Stand
OR
Is Your Good Word Heard
Leaving You Flailing Around
In Sinking Sand?

Have You Heard 

Any

Convicting 
Convincing
Straight And Sure Word Sermons

Lately?

Has A Good Word
Recently
Caused Your Heart
To Leap With Joy In Jesus!

*********

God Is The God

Of

Full Disclosure!

God Lays His Love

On

Our Line!

God Lays Bare

His Character

For Our Inspection

And

Calls Us

To His Way

Where

Hope 
Help 
And
Healing

Are Off Of

The Heavenly Fruit Vine!

*********

Trust God's Words 
NOT
Your Preacher's!

Christianity Is Showing That You Are Good Seed Sowing!

I Was Never One For Visiting Pleasure Palaces!
I Preferred Entertaining At Home
For There I Could Know All That Was Going On
And Nor Worry
About Unrighteous Acts And Behaviors
Having Free Reign
In That Place That I Called My Own!

I Always Set Me A Good Table!
I Poured Beverages
That No One Could Call Upon:
"On The Rocks!"
Or
"Make That Neat!"
I Was Ever-Cognizant
Of My Reputation
AND
Did Nothing
To Put My Name On Cloud Blast
Or
On Vicious Repeat!

NOW ...

We Must Realize That
As Christians
Every Thing That Is Done
Will Offend Somebody
Especially That One
Who Looks
To Destroy And Cause Sorrow
For Any Every Body
In God's Service Employed
Or In His Living Word Steeped!

The Brand Of The Christian
Is Made Bullet Proof
By Christ!
The Brand Of The Unbeliever
Often Makes One
Cringe Cower
And
Sometimes Say
"Look, There! A Child Of Satan!"
Or
"That's A Satanic Device!"

BUT ...

When A Child Of God
Looks Like
Smells Like
Talks As
Acts Upon
AND
Is Consumed By
The Flavors
The Fragrances
Of The Wily Wild World
It Is Time
For Us All
To Get Back To
The Undiluted
Course Grains
Of The Plain
Unprocessed Spirit-Inspired Holy Word!

A Christian
Should Be As Identifiable As
A Bleeding Sore Thumb
In A Lily White
Skin Tight
Formal
Dress Glove!

All Seers Should Be Able To See
That What You Are Professing Is
To You
Truly Real
AND
Not The Means To Fix The Matter
Of Getting You Made Popular
In The Vanity-Inspired
Social Media Chatter!

Christianity Is Not A Religion!
Christianity Is The Way To Life!
Christianity Is The Measuring Tape
By Which Seekers After God
Measure
How Far They Are Getting Away From Sin
AND
Getting Closer
To The Eternal God In This Mortal Carnal Life!

Christianity
Is Neither
A Convenience
A Roman Holiday
Nor
A Cause Celebre
AND
It Is Not
A Poor Man Panacea
Nor
The Wannabe Rich Man's Causeway!

Christianity Is
Mode
Method
Means
Bicycle
Pedal
AND
Power To Push
To Travel The Distance
On The Eternal God's
Glory Road
AND
Not A Way For Satan
To Be Every Man's God Goad!

God's Glory
Is Not That
To Be Found In A Hole
Nor The Proof
To Be Found
On The Wandering Ones' Soles!

NOW ...

If Christian Called
Is Who You Aspire To Be
You Need To Remember The Words:

"Thou, God, Seest Me!"

AND
Think About What You Are Doing
AND
The Appearance Of Evil Shun
AND
Stop Giving Satan
A Comic Book To Read For
Christians' Failure Fun!

IF ...

You Don't Apologize
For Being
Brother Sister
Husband Wife
Friend Family
Don't The Name Of Jesus Christ
Wittingly Compromise!

Don't Give The World A Reason
To Laugh At You
AND
Call You Soft!
Don't Give Satan Another Reason
To Try And Pick You Off
The Engrafted Tree
From Which You Get Life
So That You Can Laughingly
Live It Up
In An Elevated
Canopy Bed
Full Of Human Lice
In A Tricked-Out Loft!

Be Mindful
Ever Careful
Of The Manufacturer
Whose Bed You Sleep Lounge Upon
For That Manufacturer
May Be Him Who
Is In Eternal Opposition To
The Living Holy
Faithful Eternal
All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
Soul Preserving
Sin Destroying God!

What Is

The Greeting Card

To YOUR Version

Of Jesus Christ's Christianity

Telling The World About God?

*********

Can The World See Jesus In YOU?

Would Jesus Christ 

Claim YOU

As His Own?

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Lying Song Of Satan + PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me

One Lovely, Lovely Day
I Heard Satan 
Singing 
A Cheerful Song:

"Anything god can do
I Can DO Better!
Anything god Can Do
I Can DO Best!"

Fool - Thy Name Is Human Said:

"Oh, No, You Can't!"

Satan Replied:

Oh, Yes,  I Can!
Oh, Yes, I Can!
Oh, Yes I Caa-aaa-ann!

AND ...

The Fight Was On!

NOW ...

As Any Bible-Believing Christian Should Know
Satan Is An Unremitting Liar To The Umph Degree!
Satan Hates Jesus Christ!
Satan Hates Humans Because God Loves Them!
Satan Wants What God Has!
Satan Is A Counterfeiter
AND
That Is His Star-Card
Hence His:

"Anything god Can Do
I Can DO Better!"

I Should Have 
Known Better
Than To Engage 
With Satan!

I Should Have 
Given Him My Back
Told God Satan Was Me About To Attack
BUT
Noooooo!
I Chose To Battle With Him
AND
I 
In The Very Process
Nearly Lost My Head 
Life!

Literally!

Sufficed To Tell You
Satan Took Me Through
His Alphabet Shopping List
In An Attempt To Show Me
What He Could "DO" With
For Me!

I Was Sore ...
I Was Sorely TempTED!

I Tell You Honestly:
Satan Is Sin!
Satan Is The Tempter!
Satan Knows Humans!
Satan Knows How To Make Humans Sin!
Satan Customizes Temptation For Humans
To Make Humans 
SIN AGAINST GOD!
Because It Makes Satan Happy 
To Make God Unhappy 
Sad His Humans!

Believe You Me
I Yielded To Many Of Satan's Temptations
- They Were Off The Chain Pretty ... Hooks -
Before I Sat Still Long Enough
- Not Just To Hear -
To Listen To The Still Small Voice Of 
God's Holy Spirit
Calling
Chiding
Counselling
AND, YES
- At The End Of One Of My Base Cock-ups -
Comforting Me!

I Had Never Stopped Praying!

It Was Then
That I Learned That
Just Because A Person Has Free Will
To Do As One Pleases
It Does Not Mean That One Should
AND
That Too Much Sweet Can Turn A Belly Bitter!

I Learned 
- The Hard Way -
That
"Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout'
Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Bambam!"

Satan's Calling Card(s)
Singly Or In Combination
- Depending On The Person Involved -
IS

• Life Without Limits
• Desire Is License
• Let No Man Judge You
• You Are A God So Go
• Do What Thou Wilt
• Live Fast - Die Young And Make A Pretty Corpse

AND, STRANGELY ENOUGH
Quoting God (But Misapplied):

• Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

In All Satan's Interactions
With Mankind
The Temptations
ALL
Fall Into Three CateGORIES:

• Lust Of The Eyes
• Lust Of The Flesh
• Pride Of Life 

OR, Same Difference

• Stomach
• Tempting God
• False Worship

As Satan Puts It:

SIN Is NOT Really SIN

If You SIN For Your SELF

So SIN To Always Please SELF

For 
Your SIN 
Is For
Your Own SOUL'S SWEET SATISFACTION!

I Learned 
That If 
Eye Appreciates It
Mouth Will Eat It
Stomach Will Digest It
AND
Deceitful-Heart Is Well-Pleased!

My Body Was Tackled!
My Heart Was Tickled!
My Soul Was Damned
Near Satisfied
Unto Death
Until I Read:

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

I Knew I Had Done Evil!
I Knew I Was Doing Wrong
BUT ...
Satan Was Singing Melodiously 
A Melodious 
AND
Enticing 
Utterly Adorable 
"Come-Softly-To-Me!"
Love Song!

Satan's Beat Was Up Tempo!
My Feet Were Tapping Away!
My Head Was In Tune 
Bobbing
AND
My Body ...
Ah, My Body ...
My Body Was Shaking
Shaking Excitedly
Excitedly Shaking Away!

BUT ... THEN

My Teeth Started Rattling!
There Was A Great Humming In My Ears!
My Heart Started Palpitating
AND
All Of Me
Started Trembling
Trembling
Trembling In Abject Fear!

That Night I Feared Sleeping!
At The Dawn I Feared Waking Up!
I Knew That This
Was The Day Of Decision
AND
My Stomach Started Throwing Up!

My Past Called Yesterday
Came Knocking!
My Future Called Tomorrow 
Showed Up
AND
My Present Called Today 
Unfolded
AND
I Knew That My Life 
Was Well And Truly
If-ed Up!

IF I Continued With Satan ...!
IF I Started Back Seeking For God ...!
IF I Chose Not To Make A Decision ...!
If None Of This Hadn't Happened At All ...!
IF God Hadn't Created Lucifer 
Or
Even The Earth At All!

IF Only I Hadn't Engaged Satan!
IF Only I Had Not From God Strayed Away!
IF Only - The Saddest Words Imaginable
The Epitaph Of A Christian
Gone 
Walking Astray!

Okay. 
God,
You Are Creator!
You Used To Love Me!
IF I Pray
Will You Still Care?

Child,

There Is No "IF" In My Kingdom!

There Is Also No Halfway!

You Cannot

Be Blessing Me 
And
Blasting With Satan

And

Believe That I Will Permit

You To Kiss Me With That Mouth!

IF You Love Me - Love ME!

IF You Love Satan - Love HIM!

For I AM The All OR Nothing Soul-Lover

And

I Won't Share Your Affections With

The Lying Other!

I AM Calling To You! - COME HOME!

I AM Calling To You! - LEAVE SIN ALONE!

I AM Telling You Plain

Life With Me Is No Bed Of Baubles And Roses

BUT

I AM Always Here

Let Me Make That Really Clear

For What Is My Own

I Keep

And Will Celebrate

On That Day

When They - Having Endured To The End -

Shall Enter Into My Holy Home!

I Turned Away From Satan!
I Threw Away My Old Clothes!
I Severed All Ties With Companions Of Old
For
I Was Getting Off The Sin-Drug
Cold!

I Washed The Dust Of The Street Off My Feet!
I Had Communion That Day!
I Had Bread And Grape Juice
AND
Uttered A Truly Simple Pray:

Father,

Forgive Me!

I Know What I Did!

I Confess And Repent

Bless Me And Keep Me

Away From The Skids!

Raise Up In My Heart

A Spirit Of Revulsion

For Sin

And Keep Me Obedient

For I Desire

Your Home To Enter In!

I Love You!

Teach Me To Love You, Lord

AMEN.

I Am Now Satisfied ... WITH JESUS CHRIST!
