GRACE AND MERCY: Praying With Faith Is Power!








Grace And Mercy: Faith And Prayer! 

Truth Is Beauty
So Let God's People Declare That 
Walking With Wisdom Makes One Unique 
Because 
They Are Following The Master 
Who Is Found By Those 
Who Will To Have Sin From Their Souls Leached! 

The Fool Indulges Folly! 

The Lawless Acknowledges No Law! 

The Child Of God 
Walks With Humility Before The Kind King 
And
In The Day Of His Appointing
They Will In His Presence Sing
"Holy, Holy, Holy!" 

Beloved, Dear Believer
Child Of God Called Apart, 

Please Stay On The Side Of Right 
And 
You Will Never Have The Experience Of 
Going Out From The Lord's Presence 
And
Having Your Day Turn To Night-Time Dark! 

Remember That Being Almost Pregnant 
Is Not 
Ever Going To Be A Thing 
So Being Almost A Christian
Almost Persuaded To Do The Good And The Right
Almost Faithful
Almost Obedient
And 
Almost Enduring 
Speaks To One Who Does Not In The Light Of Life 
Seriously, Seriously, Delight!

Jesus Christ Went All In For Me And For You 
So Let Us Bask In His Love Always 
So That We Will Eternally Enjoy 
The Glorious Glory Days! 

To Gospel Truth Add Your Voice 
So That Jesus Christ Over You Will Ever Rejoice! 

Praying With Faith Is Power! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire To Thank Jesus Christ Personally

Father,
My Heart Is Grateful
And I Give You All The Praise
My Worship
My Will
My Way!
I Am Willing, Lord, To Do All That You Say!
Thank You For All Your Blessings Upon Me!

Your Requirements Are Not Burdensome
Even Though The Way Is Strait!
I Desire To Walk Straight
Live Right And Do Good
Because I Desire To Sit At Your Welcome Home Table
And Eat Off Of Your Good Plates!
To Thank Jesus Christ Personally
I Am Making A Date!

I Wish I Could Help Some Of My Brethren Understand
That You Mean What You Say
That You Are Never Unkind
And If You Must Chastise Your Children Called
It Is For Our Good
And Out Of Sacrificial Love For Us All!
It Is The Only Way To Get Right
To Get Home After Our Unnecessary Fall!

The Earth Is Groaning!
Satan Is Raging!
Many Seemingly Innocent People Are Dying
And
The Under-Shepherds Of Your Sheep, Dear Lord
Are Crying, Crying
For Pounds, No Pence
Dollars, No Cents
And Have Taken Total Leave Of Their Senses
Seemingly Ignoring The Facts That
Your Holy Account Reconciliation
Has No Float
And They Must Give Accounting To You
The Lord Of All
For Any Missing Person
For Every Missing Groat!
How I Pray For Them To Awaken From Sleep!

We Need Help, Father
And I Am Pleading, Please
For The Boy, The Girl
The Mother, The Father
The Daughter, The Son
Who Is Following After Folly
Looking To Have Fun, Fun, Fun
Because They Are Listening 
To The Siren Song Of Sin
Colored And Lit The Senses To Delight!
Father,
Please Help Us For Faith To Aggressively Fight!

Those Of Us Who Choose
To Live According To Your Basics
Are Called Fundamentalists
And A Problem For The Body Politic
That To The Household Of Faith
Is A Ticking Timebomb
Just Waiting For The Moment
When Upon Us They May Let Loose!

Lord, Please Help Us!
We Have Heaven To Gain
And Hell To Refuse!
Help Us To Remain To The Master, Faithful!

Father, Dear Father
We Can See The Signs Of The Times
Just As Well As We See The Day's Weather
And
It Is For This Reason, Lord
That We Choose To Follow After You
And Not The Lying Other!

Please Bless Us To Do Your Will
Now, Today, Since There Is No Tomorrow
For In The Living Word It Clearly States
That Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man
And Now Is The Acceptable Time
To Seek After Soul Salvation
If It Is Our Singular Desire
To Walk And Live And Work 
In The Heavenly Land!

Forgive Us Of Our Sins
Because We Confess And We Repent!
Cleanse Us Of All Unrighteousness
Because We Accept Your Word That
There Is No Profit In Lawlessness
And
Bless Us To Glorify Your Holy Name
And To Praise The Beloved Jesus
In Whose Matchless Name
We Humbly Pray
And Believing, Plead!
We Love You!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Resting In The Love Of The Lord Christ! + PRAYER: It Is Our Desire To Bless You, Father!





He Is Dressed To The Nines
Yet Naked And Afraid!
Afraid And Alone
Alone ... In The Sights Of The Devil
Who Is Plotting 
And 
Instigating What Evil
To That Soul Can Be Done!
He's Having Fun And Then Some
In The Company Of The Popular 
The Illuminated 
The Rich And Connected Ones!

Look At Him ...

He Is Jumping At Shadows
Afraid Of And Loving The Dark
Angry At Disappointment
Lurching From Sorrow To Sorrow
Always Worried About Tomorrow
Yet Loving The Coarse And Bright Broadway
But
Disdaining The Way Straight And Narrow!

 Here's Someone Different ...

She Is Simply Clothed In Christ's Righteousness
A Repentant Sinner
Believing In The Word Of Truth
Bowing Humbly Before
And 
Importunately Praying
To The Heavenly Father
- In The Name Of The Son -
Unafraid To Live Her Life In Christ
And IsBy Circumstance Undeterred
Because
She Is Resting In The Love Of The Lord Jesus
Who Died ... A Curse
To Save Us All, Everyone!

Look At Her ...

Walking With Jesus
Refusing
To Ever Again Run Wild In Sin
Standing
On The Promises Of God
Knowing
That With Faithful Endurance
By Right
Heaven's Gate She Shall Enter In
Nevermore To Be Touched By Evil Surmising!
She's Faithful In Her Daily Striving!

Don't You Know ...

It Is Better To Be Pure, Poor And Humble
With Jesus Christ The Lord
Than To Be
Tainted, Rich And Proud With The Fraud

Because

Pure, Poor And Humble
Stays Pure
Becomes Rich
And
Is Elevated In Christ's Purity To Eternity

But

The Tainted, Rich And Proud
Stay Tainted
Become Irretrievably Poor
And
Their Pride 
Is 
Humbled Unto Destruction
Along With Their Instigator, Satan
Who Encouraged Them
The Lord Of Life
The Truth For All Ages
The King Of Love
The Light Of Life
To Egregiously Denigrate, Defy And Deny
BecauseOf Their Engrossing Love Of 
The Comfortable Lie!

Think About It ...

Two Lives
Two Thoughts
Two Characters
Two Masters
Two Distinctly Different Ways Of Life
One Judgment
Two Vastly Different Outcomes
Because
One Chooses 
By Belief, Faith 
And 
Practiced Obedience 
To Forever Live

And

The Other Chooses 
By Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Practiced Disobedience 
To Forever Die!

Brethren, Beloved

Upon Whom For Comfort Do You Rely!?!
Unto Whom In Your Need Do You Cry!?!
Do You Pay Homage 
To The Master Of The Winds And The Waves
OrDo You Cavort With The Master Of Disaster!?!

Are You Heeding The Broad Call To Self
Or
Will You Join Me
And
Heed The Narrow Call To Salvation
And
In Your Own Life
Reverse The Cause Of Man's Fall!?!

You Know The Whole Of The Story!
You Know Who It Is That Sacrificially Loves You!
You, Alone, Must Make For Everlasting Life 
The Decision
Because
Neither The Lord Christ
Nor The Damned Devil
Can Force Their Will Upon You!

FYI:
At The End Of The Conflict
Only The Tried Tested 
And 
True Saints Of Almighty God And Christ
Will Be Standing Tall
Glorified
Incorruptible
Immortalized!



PRAYER:

Father,
I Come To You
Because I Believe That
You Are The God Holy!
I See My Need For The Savior
So Help Me, Please
- As An Obedient Sheep -
At His Hand To Feed!

Lord,
I Repent Of My Known Sin!
Please Help Me Not To Sin Again!
Help Me Not To Turn Again To Fables
And
Bless Me To Walk As The Wise
And
Not Become A Part Of Satan's Stable!

Father,
I Pray For My Brethren
Those Near And Those Far
Those Who Are Among The Called-Out
Those Who Are Seeking
No More To Be Among
The Itchy-Earred Walk-Abouts!
Please Bless Them To Take Hold Of
The Holy Hand
That Is Reaching Out To Them
And
Bless Them To Ever Hear The Still Voice Of
The Loving Heart
Who, To Us
Desires To Draw Near!
Help Us To Respond With Godly Fear!

Please Grant Unto Us Daily Grace
Daily Faith
Strength For Our Journeying
And
Courage For The Way We Must Walk
And
Please Provide For Us
All That You Have Promised
For
We Love You
And
We Worship
And
It Is Our Desire To Bless You
Who Always Blesses Us
Without Our Having To Ask!

Please, Father
Remember Those Who Mourn
Those Who Anticipate A Mourning
The Childless
The Motherless And The Fatherless
The Poor And The Downtrodden
The Lost And The Lonely
The Demon-Possessed
The Demon-Oppressed
And
Those Who Have No Safe Place To Call Home
- Physically Or Spiritually -
And
Have Mercy On Those Who Do Not Yet Know
That The Lord Jesus Christ
- The Creator God
The Savior, The Redeemer
The Forever Friend -
For Their Personal, Public And Private Sin
Did Completely Atone!

Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions, Father
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
The Holy Jesus
Your Beloved And Only Begotten Son
Our Returning King!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN.

GIFT ...!?! + PRAYER: Please, Lord, Increase Our Faith!






The Almighty God
Has Given Into Man's Hands
The One Gift
That Money Can't Usurp!

All That Is Required From Man
Is 
That By Way Of Acceptance
He Does ... Wholeheartedly
Sin Desert!

But ... There Is Always The But ...

There Is One Creature
That Does The Holy God's Word Gleefully Pervert!
He Is Satan
The One Who 
- Through Love Of Self And Covetousness -
His High Post In Heaven
Did Willingly Desert!

Satan
Unto Man
Does Sell A Full Bill Of Short Goods
And 
Man Forgetful
Disremembers The Cause Of
The Antediluvians' Flood
And
In Opposition To The Holy God
And 
Against Eternal Truths With Proofs
Does Belligerently Stand!

But ... There Is, In All This
The Only Good But ...

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Died For Man
To Give Him A Way
To Reach
Heaven's Table Land
But
By Much Gainsaying
Direct Opposition
Distrust And Doubt
Man
Chased Enticed
By A Raging Lion
Is 
Out On A Rotting Tree Limb
Hanging Over Crocodile-Infested Water
Next To An Eight-Lane Highway
At The Edge Of A Cliff
Overlooking An Always Active Volcano
With A Tornado Approaching
During A Wild Fire!

Good Gracious!

If You Paint That Picture Any Blacker
There Ain't Going To Be Anything Left!

Man Is In Peril
So It Makes No Sense
The Poison Pill To Sugar Coat!

Man Can Read!
Man Can Write
And All To His Souls Delight
So
I See No Reason To Minimize The Magnitude
Or To Dispel The Obvious
When By Practiced Folly
He Is Daily Dying!

Satan, To Man, Is Perpetually Lying!

Man To Almighty God
Through Jesus Christ The Lord
Should Ever And Always Be Crying!

The Liar Is Always Spying!

So, What!?!
I Don't Know About You
But I'm So Done With 
The Jesus-Christ-Denials
So
Spy Or Not
Satan Will See Me No More
The Living God
The Lover Of My Soul
Ever, Ever, Again
Stoop To Defying!

I Am Looking Forward
To Seeing My Jesus In Peace
And
To The Glorious Kingdom
- With Wings As An Eagle -
Flying!

Hear! Hear!

PRAYER:

Bless The Lord,
Oh, My, Soul!

Father,
Please Help Me
Please Help My Brethren
Our Souls To Beautify
So That In The Glorious Day
Home, With You
We, Redeemed
From The Second Death
Shall, Rejoicing
Triumphantly Fly!

Father,
We Acknowledge The Truth
And
Know Of A Surety
That Satan Is Our Adversary
Our Worst Enemy!

Father,
We, Indebted
Gratefully Acknowledge 
And
Know Of A Surety
That Jesus Christ Is Our Savior
Our Redeemer
 Our Friend
Our Only Hope!

Father,
We, Your Believing Children
Cry Unto You
Because You Love Us
You Care For Us
You Bless Us
You Sacrificed Self ... For Us
And
Because You Are Our God
And
We, Acknowledging Our Sin
 Worship You
We Are Complaining
Because
Satan Rains Down
Upon The Brethren
Great Shame Unto Damnation
And
He 
Pompasetting
Preening
And
Preying
Seem To Be Having His Own Way!
Many Of The Brethren
Are Being Made Casualties
Of
The Mortal Strife!
Save Us, Lord!

Lord,
We Beseech You
To Help Us
- In That Holy Name -
To Rebuke The Devourer
The Author Of All Sin
And
Help Us To Hold On To Our Savior
To The Love
That
Will Not Let Us Go!
Help Us To Hold To The Grace
Which 
Upon Us
You Are Daily Showering!

We Give You Our Hearts
Our Souls
Our Minds
Our Bodies
Our Strength
And
We Fall
Lord, We Fall Upon Your Mercy
New Each Day
Substantial
Never Ephemeral, Lacy!

Please Bless Us
To See The Beauty
That Is Our Lord
And
Bless Us With Strength
To Dismiss With All Finality
The Wily Fraud!

Please, Lord,
Increase Our Faith
For
It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Pray
As We
Hungering
After His Righteousness
Humbly Plead!
We Love You!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, We Await The Consummation!

I'm Leaning On You, Lord
So That I Do Not Slide
Into Sin
With That Destroyer
And Thereby

Cause My Soul And Damnation 
To Collide!

I Believe Your Word, Father!
I Trust In The Efficacy Of The Blood
And
I Am Pleading For The Promised Salvation
That Is Lost
To Those Who Choose To Wallow
In Iniquity's Mire And Mud!


In You, Lord
I Have Peace And Rest
And
Mercy And Grace
The Known Perks Of The Blessed
And
I Desire To Live
In That Holy Land
And I Beseech You, My Father
Please Help Me In Your Truth
Ever Faithful
To Confidently Stand!


I See By Faith
That Has Pure Sight
So In Hope
I Look To The Light Of Life
The Lord Of Creation
And

I'm Begging, Lord
Begging
For Help
For My Self
My Family Friends
Community City
The Wide World!
Lord, Let The True Gospel Be Accepted
So That It Will Bless My Backsliding Nation

And Remove Them
From The Damned Goat Herd!

Father,
Fables Are The Thing Fabulous
And
Truth ... The Thing Disdained
When Truth Is The Thing Most Precious 
And

Should At All Costs Be Obtained!
Help Us!

Grant Unto Us Spiritual Hearing
That Will Indeed Bless
As With That Hearing
The Hearer Becomes A Doer
By Spiritual Discernment
And Is
By Your Holy Hand
Forever Blessed!


Help Us Not To Be Complacent
Believing The Lie
That Man Is Saved In Your Kingdom By Rote
When Truth Is
Citizenship Comes By Our Election

Our Choosing To Accept The Invitation
To Be There
Our Preparing For Salvation
The Ground That Is Our Heart
Our Trusting Our Instructor
Our Studying For The Exam
Our Doing The Will Of The Examiner
And
Walking In The Light
And
Away From The Dark

That Surely Our Spiritual Prosperity Blights!

Lord, Help Us To Get Our Garment
Our Character 

Ready
And
Help Us To Be Ready And On Time
For The Big Day Of Examination
Before The Lord Gracious
Holy
Divine!


Without You, Lord
We Have Nothing! 
With You, Lord
We Have All
That Amazing Acquisition
For Us Descendants 
Us, Repentant Children
Of Those Who Caused The Fall!


Let Your Grace Be Sufficient For Us!
Let Your Truth Be Our Bread!
Let Your Word Be Our Pillow!
Lord,
Please, In Your Gentle Hand
Hold Our Hearts And Our Heads!


We Do Not Know You As We Ought!
Lord,
Let That Condition Change Today!
Help Us To Approach Unto You
In Humility And Longing
As We Say Our Heartfelt, Pleading, Prayers!


Please Accept Us
In Our Sorrow For Known Sin
And

Correct Us To Walk Aright!
Please Bless Us And Protect!
Please Feed Us

Guide Us 
Lead Us
Help Us On Your Ever-Present Goodness
Daily
Moment By Moment
To Gladly Reflect Upon And Expect!


We Love You, Lord
And

Look To The Great Day Of Consolation
For That Blessed Consummation
When We Are Forever One!


We Ask These Few Blessings
In The Great Name Of The Holy Jesus

Our Savior, Lord And Expected King!
Please Come Soon! 
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Sets The Soul Free!

I Could Not Go To The Living God By Myself!
The Living God Had To Call Unto Me!
I Had No Power Of My Own!
The Holy Spirit Of God Had To Give Power Unto Me!

Like Many Before
I Thought I Could Be Saved By My Own Merits
AND
That My Own Works Would Justify Me!
I Thought That My Willingness To Serve The Living God
Meant
That The Living God Had To Save Me!

I Was Wrong!

Again,
Like Many Before Me
AND
Around Me
I Thought That I Would Be Saved In My Known Sins!
I Thought That The Fact That I Worshiped The Living God
Meant That The Living God Would Excuse 
Known Wrongdoing
Wilfull Sinfulness
Actively Working In Me!
I Was Wrong!

But For The Love Of Christ The Lord
I Could Have Been Dead Wrong! 

The Truth Will Come Out ...

One Day
I Met The Savior
Who Opened Up The Truth Unto Me!
He Told Me Plainly:




I Also Understood That
Faith Alone Avails Nothing!
Works Alone Avail Nothing!
BUT ...
When Jesus' Faith Was Released In Me
My Acceptance Of That Faith
Caused Me To Work Aka Step Out In Faith
Trusting The Word Of Him Who Is Faithful
Just
AND
Holy
Wise
AND
Ever Always True!

I Came To Realize That ...

Doubt ... Sits And Wonders And Worries ...!
Faith ... Walks And Works And Lives!

I Now Know That ...

Faith Can Handle Delay
AND
Disappointment
AND
Is Never In A Rush
BUT
That Doubt
Holds Tight To Instant Gratification
AND
Never Has The Courage Of Faith
Into God's Great Unknown
To ... In Hope
Step Out!

I Finally Learned That ...

I Can Do All Things
Through Jesus Christ Who Strengthens Me!
I Know From Whom My Help Comes
AND
I Trust The Only One
In Whose Bosom
Under Whose Wings
In Whose Covert
I Can Safely Lie Down!

The Living God
My God
My Hope
My Help
My Salvation
My Redemption
My Beginning
My End
Gives Me The Comfort Of Peace
AND
The Blessing Of Strength
AND
Though I Walk Through Death's Dark Vale
I Shall Never Be Afraid
For He Who Is The Great I AM
Is All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present!

Almighty God
Created Man To Love Him
To Worship Him
AND
To Give Him Willing Praise
Out Of Man's Own Free Will
AND
Because I Am His Alone
I Look Up With Ardent Hope
Unto His Glorious Coming On The Great Day!

I Am Not Alone!
Jesus Christ Walks Beside Me!
He Created Me
AND
To Him
My Soul Is As Precious Gold!

I Love The Lord
AND 
By His Grace 
- Great And Known Free - 
I Have Risen Above The Weighty Fog Of Sinful Doubt!
I From Under Doubt's Bondage
Have Finally Gotten Out! 


Precious Lord, Take My Hand! 
Holy God, Help Me Stand! 
I Trust Your Word!
I Believe That You're The Living God! 
I Give To You
My Trembling Heart! 
I Bow In Worship
Though Only A Man
But
I Love You, Lord
You Are My God
Please Take My Hand!
