Thanksgiving!?! Giving Thanks + PRAYER: I Bow My Heart Before You, Lord!

When I Am Giving Thanks To Almighty God
It Is Impossible For Me To Hate
To Lie
To Steal
To Envy

And
To Indulge Greed!

I'm Thankful To The Lord Christ, Who

With His Own Blood

For My Pardon Does Plead!

I Have No Time To Indulge Malice
And To Be Busy In Other Men's Matters!
I Have No Time My Ego To Inflate
When I'm Rattling Off The Myriad Blessings
That My God Holy Has Lavished Upon My Life
And
Upon My Plate!

My Season Of Thanks Giving
Is Not 

Just For A Grand Holiday!
It Is Day By Day
Hour By Hour

And
Moment By Moment
For A Sacrifice Made In My Behalf
The Price For Which I Can Never Repay!

I'm Thankful ...

For Food
For Shelter
For Life
For Hope For The Day
For Peace
For Rest

And
For How With Life Successfully To Cope!

I'm Thankful ...

For Mercy
For Eyes That See
For Buds That Taste
For The Hope That Has Me Looking Up To The East
And Thinking Upon That Spot In Orion
Out There In Deep Space!

I'm Thankful ...

For Protection
For Direction
For Correction
For Ever-Present Help

And
For The Leading Of The Holy Spirit!

I Know How I Feel

To Be By The Eternal God Totally Blessed

But The Words Can't Be Spelt!

I'm Thankful ...

For A Life Lived For Christ ...To Lose

For A Life To Live With Christ ... To Gain
For A Story To Tell To The Nations That Are Lost
Of The Blessed Savior
The Great Redeemer
Who For All Our Sins 

Was Cruelly Nailed On Calvary's Cross!

I'm Thankful ...

For Grace
For Faith
For Laughter
For Tears

And

For The Holy God
Who Surely Welcomes My Daily Prayers!

I'm Thankful ...

For Friends
For Family

And
For A Beloved Son Who Gives Me No Reason To Cry!

I'm Thankful ... Most Thankful

To My Creator God
For The Plan Of Salvation
For The School Of Jesus Christ
Where My Character Is Being Reshaped
Into That Of My Lord
In Whom Is My Soul's Only Saving Hope!

I'm Thankful ...

For The Kingdom Of Grace ... Now
And
The Kingdom Of Glory ... Soon To Come
And
The Blessing Of The Good Shepherd That
Personally Leads Me To The Green Pastures Of Living Truth
And
The Still Waters Of Eternal Life
Where I Will Not Have To Fear The Great God's
- The Only Judge -
Condemnatory Frown!

PRAYER:

Father, Most Holy

I Will Not Offer To You Feigned Praise!

I Bow My Heart Before You

And

Utter Willing Prayers!

I'm A Child Of The Dust

And In Death

To Dust I Shall Return

But

In This Hour Of Giving Thanks

To You My Gift Of Life I Return

Because

With You Leading

I Will Not Have To Fear

The Fire And Brimstone Burn!

I Thank You, Lord

For Causing Me To Be

For Placing Me In A Time Such As This

For Giving Me The Opportunity

For Your Living Kingdom To Work

To Help To Point My Brethren Known And Unknown

To The Holy God Who Loves His Children

Who Saves Men's Souls From The Second Death

Who Lifts Up The Fallen

Who Frees The Captives From Sin

Who Gives True Sight To The Blind

And

Who Blesses And Has No Desire To Curse!

Father, 

I Am Thankful For A Mother

Who Saw Fit To Ensure That I Learned Of

The Holy Jesus

From A Tender Age

And

For A Grandmother

Who Kept Me On The Way Written

On The Holy Page

And

For All Those Persons Who Had A Hand

In My Spiritual Progress

And

I Am Truly Thankful For Your Holy Love

That Put It All In Motion 

So That With Enduring Faith

In The Great Day Of Small Things

I May Be A Kingdom Success! 

Dear Lord, Let It Be!

Let It Be, Lord

That My Thanks Giving May Turn Into Your

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

Father, 

This Is My Soul's Desire!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Beseech You

To Please Remember The Praying People

And

Those Who Give The Trumpet Call Of Warning

It's True And Peculiar Sound!

 

Please Keep Me

In An Attitude Of Gratitude

For Your Myriad Gifts Of Sacrificial Love

This Day And Always

And

Even As I Offer Up My Heart's Prayer, Father

In The Glorious Name Of My Savior

My Redeemer

My Lord

My Master

My God 

And 

My Soon Coming King

Jesus Christ The Righteous!

Remember Us Always

In Your Free Mercy

And

By Your Available Grace!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Nature Of Evil

The Nature Of Evil
Gratifies Ego
AND
Glorifies Self
For The Sole Purpose Of Getting 
The Evil One's Name
Into
The Glaringly Glorious Spotlight
AND
Off Of 
The Insignificant Ones' Shelf!

Satan's Overmastering Self-Love
In Its Full And Final Bloom
Ripped Heaven Apart
Because Of Satan's Willingness To Prove
That He
- After Acting The Part
Of Agent Provocateur
Union Representative
Free-Range Parent -
Could Be A Better Self-Appointed God 
Than The Self-Incarnate Almighty Holy God!

Do We Need To Ask
How That Power-Play Worked Out For
The Wanna-be God?!

Evil Holds No Outward Love
For Its Love
Is 
To Self
Totally Unabashedly Inclined
AND
If Telling The Outliers
That Within Its Gross Actions Is 
Brotherly Even Unto Godly Love
It Will Do It For The Purpose Of Gaining Cooperation
Without The Use Of
The Iron Fist In Kid Gloves!

Forked Tongue Does Bitter-Speech Sweet!

What Love Is To The Human Heart
Hate Is To The Satanically-Inspired Heart!
Where Peace Will Calm
The Raging Storm
Satan And His Henchmen
Will Stir The Wind
To Cause A Storm
That Will Intentionally Inflict Harm
AND
Thereafter
Blame The Holy God!

It Ever Works Like The Proverbial Charm!

Evil Is Always Activated By Envy
Greed
Lust
AND
Hate
Even Though The Beholder
Has More Than Plenty
On Its Plate!

Look At The Heart
In The Body Specially Prepared
By The Creator God
Who
Discontented
With All It Had Blessedly Received
Wanted For Itself
All That The Creator Kept To Himself
Inside His "Sleeve!"

The 10th Commandment
Speaks Of Covetousness For A Reason
For
Lust Of The Flesh
Birthed Within The Lustful Eye
Is Always Going To Cause
"The Fur To Fly!"
AND
The Accursed Pride
That Bane Of The Human Soul
Is Always Ever Ready
To Make
The Pride Of Life
The Unregenerate Heart's
Life Guide
AND
Sole Goal!

The Covetous Heart Will Kill!

Evil Is Guided By
Me
For Me
To Me
In Me
By Me
See Me
How Do You Like Me ... NOW?!
You Should Have Loved Me ... THEN!
I AM The Cause Of Your Felt Mayhem!
Life Is A Bastard Now!
Ahem! AHEM!

Evil Is Full
Of Bloatware
AND
Gloat-ware
AND
Every Any Thing
Which Will Of Said Evil
Inspire
Dread Fear
Compliments Of The Big Goat Fair!

Evil Is A Cancer
For Which There Is Only One Known Cure:

The Acceptance
Of The Love By Holy Sacrifice
Of The Living
Once Dead
AND
Alive For Evermore
Jesus The Christ
The Way To Eternal Life!
AND
Those Who Believe
That Economic
AND
Political
AND
Ecumenical Religious Means
Will Eradicate Evil's Deep-seated Curse
May As Well Pick A Polished Brass Number
AND
Wait ... For The Inevitable Luxury Automobile Called Hearse!

Say It With Me:

Jesus Christ In

Evil Out!

Holy Spirit Moves In

And

Satan Suffers A Terminal Rout!

Prayer Is Power!

Constant Praying Is Powerful!

Denying Self And Lifting Up Christ

Arms Us With Spiritual Weapons

With Which We Can Satanic Agencies Fight!

Immerse Your Mind In Jesus Christ

Who Is Himself Truth

And Valiantly Carry

The Word Of God

And

Shield Your Soul

With Your Measure Of Jesus' Faith

To Repel The Fiery Darts

With WhichThe Wicked Do You Shell
Hoping To Make You Fall
And 
At The Fullness Of Time
Join Them
In The Appointed Hell!

Live Right By Doing Righteous Deeds

And 

Decidedly Protect Your Head

So That Fired Rocks
Won't You Kill Dead (Like Goliath)!

Don't Set Aside Your Helmet!

It Is Your Soul's Salvation!

Let Your Well-shod Feet

Carry You Around 

To Teach The Gospel Of Jesus' Peace

Letting The World Know

What God

- Through Jesus Christ -

Has Done For You

And Will ... For Them, Too!

*********

Never Give In To Evil!

Never Give Up Your Faith In God!

Death In Christ 
Before
Dishonor By Disbelief

And
Trumpet 

God's Eternal Damnation

Upon
The Vile Corrupter-In-Chief!

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus ...
