HAPPY SABBATH + Stop Swallowing Satan's Sprats!

There's The Age-old Expression 

"Throw A Sprat To Catch A Whale!" 

Which Is Pertinent To Us 

Who Choose To Enduringly Walk Faithfully 

With The Lord Christ! 

Our Adversary, Satan The Damned

Is 

Playing A Long Game 

And 

He Is Notorious For "Giving Gifts" 

To Men, Women And Children 

For Them To Work Their Own Ruin

Both Temporal And Eternal! 

Do Not Be Deceived! 

Satan's "Gifts" To The Gullible

The Unwary 

And 

Those Honestly Lacking Knowledge Of His Devices

Are The Juicy Sprats! 

Those Persons Who Accept Satan's "Gifts" Are The Whales 

And 

This Scenario Makes Satan A Real False Fisherman! 

Satan 

Is 

Fishing For The Soul's Of Men As A Whole

And

For Your Life In Particular 

Aka Almighty God's Purchased Possession! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 

Don't Be Licorish Aka Greedy For Gain

For What Can't 

And 

Won't Last

Because

Any "Gift" Gotten From Satan

Is

Manufactured With Smoke And Mirrors! 

When Our Eyes

Our Tongues 

And 

Our Bellies Are Ruling Our Heads

It Is Then That Satan Can "Buy" Us Cheap 

And 

Give Us Over To Sure Damnation! 

It Doesn't Have To Be This Way!

Choose To Practice Temperance

And

Self-Denial

And

With Faith Working

Boldly, By Grace, Reject The Lying Murderer! 

The Lord Christ's Good Gifts To Us Make Us Rich 

And

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

They Add No Breath Of Sin, Shame, Sorrow

Death, Decay Or Damnation To Our Lives! 

Just As When We Are Warned To Be Wary Of 

Greeks Bearing Gifts

Let Us Remember Whose We Are

And

What Our Mission Is 

And

Choose To Look Forward ... By The True Gift Of Faith

To Beholding What Eyes Have Not Seen 

Nor Ears Heard Of What Jesus Christ Has Promised 

To Those Who Love, Trust, Worship 

And 

Willingly Obey Him! 

Please Dare To Strive For The Imperishable Gold 

And 

Not For The Fool's Gold Known Worthless! 

Moment-By-Moment

Actively Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life!

 

Peace On Earth

Is

The Gift Of The Almighty God!

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

 

Humility

Faith

Trust

Obedience

And

Endurance

Will, Together

See Us Arrive Safely In Heaven

With Our Lord Jesus Christ

And

Evermore ... In Peace ... Abide! 

Feeding The Great Ones!?!

Fair Faith
High Hope
True Love
Living Trust
And
Deadly Doubt
All Feed On And Or Against Self
And
No Surprise ... Each Other!

I Told You Before
And
I'm Telling You Again:

If You Love, You'll Love!
If You Trust, You'll Trust!
If You Exercise Faith, You'll Exercise Faith!
If You Live In Hope, You'll Live With Hope!
If You Cherish Doubt, You'll Live With Doubt
And 

Multiply Doubt
To Your Own Soul's Destruction!

Doubt Is Like The Result You Get
When You Chop Onions
Shake Black Pepper
And
Activate Yeast!

Onions Make You Cry!
Pepper Makes You Sneeze
And
Yeast Bubbles Up Out And Expands Your Dough
And
Left Unchecked ... Over-Proofs
And
Left Unattended
And
Then Utterly Neglected
Is Ultimately Discarded!

There Is No Vacuum In The Life Of Man!

There Is Cause And Effect That 

Affects And Reflects
Because
That With Which You Feed Your Spirit
Is 

Exactly What Your Spirit Begets!

When You Believe The Word
Trusting The Source Of The Word
You Will Believe The Source
And
Trust The Word!
There Is No Middle Ground!

Jesus Christ Is The Word
And
The Word Is ...!

... Truth!

You Grew Up Enjoying That Which You Were Daily Fed!
You Enjoy Going Where, Daily, Your Spirit Is Led!
You Enjoy Associating With Those
With Whom You Keep Company
And
You Avoid The One Whom
You Call Your Enemy!

NowI Get It!
What You Do Is ... Doable!
What You Did Is ... Done!
What You Avoid Is ... Avoidable!
When You Hate Sin, You ... Run!

Very Nice!

Learn The Lesson ...

When Doubt Is Fed
Disbelief In The Lord's Available Grace 

And
Free Mercy ... Grows!
When Daily Faith Is Moment By Moment Fed
The Benefits Of The Lord's Grace And Mercy Show
And
Love Hope And Trust Increase
And
Reliance On Feelings
Reliance On Self
Reliance On Man's Opinions
Reliance On Appearances
Are Like Cured Disease!
They Become Deceased!

Don't! Don't! Don't!
Do Not Tempt The Living God!
You Are Playing With Consuming Fire!
You Will Experience Almighty God's Ire!

Sin And Sinners Have Their Own Reward

And
That Means Those Who Cherish Doubt
Indulge Disobedience
Who Despise Truth
Who Ignore Light
Who Love Darkness
Those Who Choose To Consort With Satan
The Known Wily Fraud
That Fallen Angel
Whose Heart's Desire
Is 

To Take The Place Of
The Ever-Living All-Knowing God!

You Said, "Is!"

You Mean To Say Satan Is Still Trying To Be God!?!

Yes, He Is!

Jesus Christ Already Defeated Him On The Cross

But

He Is Still Waging War

And

The People Of God Need Ever To Be Vigilant

Because

That Roaring Lion Has Very Sharp Claws!

Trust In The Lord Always!

Everybody 

And 

Everything Else Is Questionable!

HAPPY SABBATH + IT IS WRITTEN: Perfect Armour!

Let's Just Keep It Real!
All I'm Saying Is That
IfYou're Going To Sup With The Devil
You'd Better Have A Long Spoon!

Satan And His Fallen Angels
Do Not Take Prisoners
AND
Any Meal Being Served

In Which They're Partaking
Is One That Will Make Sure 

That You Don't Grow Any Further!

You Ain't Lying ...!

... And I Don't Feel Like Crying!

I Hear THAT!!

The Bible Spells It Out Clearly:

First,
Look At Christ Jesus!

He Was Baptised
By Water
AND
With The Holy Ghost
AND THENDriven Into The Desert
He Fasted And Prayed For Forty Days
AND THENHe Was Confronted
- Tempted -
By That Wicked Satan
To Whom He Clearly
Firmly Responded:

It Is Written ...!

It Is Written ...!

It Is Written ...!

Of Course, You Know That Satan
- A Bible Scholar Of No Mean Ability -
Quoted
Misquoted
AND
Misapplied The Scriptures
To No Avail!

Again ...

Jesus Christ ... To His Disciples
Regarding The Devil That 

They Could Not Cast Out Of The Young Boy :

This Kind Come Not Out

But By Prayer And Fasting!

Which Clearly Means

Prepare Your Own Soul
Prayer
Fast
AND
Appropriately Quote The Scriptures!

We Already Have Our Victory
IfWe Believe Almighty God's Holy Word
AND
We Have The Perfect Armor
- The Whole Armor Of God -
To Protect Us From The Tar Balls
- The Doubts About Our Faith And Faithfulness -
AND
The Fiery Darts Of The Devil
- Lies, Persecutions, Prosecutions, Lusts!

I'll Warn Us All ...

Never Step Out In Faith
While Walking In Pride!

Ahem! Ahem!

You Okay?!

I Fine! I'm Fine!
I Just Think That You Misspoke!

How So?!

How Can You Step Out In Faith
If You're Walking In Pride?!

Exactly!!

Excuse Me?!

Pride Is The Devil's Dominion
AND
All Who Walk In Pride
Will Fall ... Just As He Did!

Put Differently ...

You Ain't Doing The Lord's Business
If You're Wearing Satan's Uniform!

The Uniform You're Wearing
Represents The Company
For Which You Work
AND
You Can Not
- Will Not - 
Receive Faith's Reward
While Doubt
Pride
Selfishness
Wilfulness
Waywardness
Dishonesty

AND
Lying
Are In You Chronic
Doing The Work Of Raging, Rampaging, Disease!

Preach, Preacher!

Satan Is The Sinister Minister
The Looming Liar
The Masterful Murderer

AND

The Dastardly Deceiver
AND
All Who Choose
His Will To Work
Will Share His Fate
In The Lake Of Fire!

I Don't Know About You
BUT
I'm With Jesus
Our Lord Christ
AND
To Him
I'm Climbing Higher And Higher
Because
I Want No Part Of Satan's Permanent "Bath" 
In Unquenchable Fire!

AMEN!!!

We Can't Serve Two Masters!

Draw Us Nearer, Lord!

Trust The Armor: It Always Works!

The HaRP No Longer Plays!

Why Do You Deify Nature
BUT
Deny
AND
Defy Its Creator?

Why Do You Glorify The Caricature
BUT
Call The Living God a False Character?

Why Do You Denigrate God
BUT
Exalt The Known Ingrate
The Proud Profligate?

Why Do You Trust The Liar
BUT
Doubt He Who Is The Truth?

Why Do You Cavil Over The Word Of The Creator God
BUT
Elucidate The Word Of The Created Bard?

Why Are Aliens Fact ... To You
BUT
The Son of God ... To You ... Is Fiction?

You Doubt Truth!
You Accept Lie!
You Wander With The Wild
AND
The HaRP No Longer Plays ...!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
What Harp Is That
That No Longer Plays?!

Ha ppiness
R est And
P eace
Depart From The People
AND
Their Lands
Where The Living God Is Counted The Least!

Many Decry The Making Of
Idols Of Wood And Stone
BUT
Many More CONSTRUCT Acceptable Idols Of
False Doctrines And Ideologies
AND
Glorify The gods That Can't Answer Them
When In Burdensome Trouble
They Call Them On The Prayer-Phone!

Men Who Set Aside The Laws Of God
Are Not Fit To Govern Themse...!

Hold Up There, Big Fella!
Jesus Christ Died
So All The Law Enacted Before
Perished
AND
Was Finished When In Death
Christ Was Surely Done!

So, Then
You Say
When Christ Died
All The World Became Lawless?!

No! ... Yes! ... No!

Pick A Position - You Can't Have Both!
Yes Or No?!

Yes ...

So, Is There No Law Under Which Your World Resides?!

Sure, There Is!
The Love Of God!

Hmmm ...

Sooo ... The Law Of God Is The Love Of God
AND
By Extension
The Love Of God Is Indulgent!

How Interesting!

So Where, Then

- In Your World -
Does God's Justice Take Hold?!

Umm ...

You Do Know That God
Will Not Countenance Evil
Will Not Pardon The Guilty
Will Not Permit Sinners In Heaven ...!

Wait! You Guys Have Me Confused!

If There Is No Law
Then There Is No Sin!
If There Is No Sin
Then There Can't Be Any Sinners
Therefore
All Men Go To Heaven
For No Man Is A Sinner Since There Is No Law
BUT
Everywhere We See Sin
So There Must Be A Law
AND
IF
There Is God's Mercy
THEN

To Avail Oneself Of That Mercy
One Must Be Subject To God's Justice!

We Cannot Have Mercy Without Justice
AND
We Know That Both Justice And Mercy And Love
Are All Part Of God's Character
WHICH CANNOT BE SEPARATED
Nor
DENIED
So ... Houston

We Have A Problem!

Yes, We Do
AND
God Deniers Created It
To Muddy The Waters
For Those Who Will To Trust Their Creator
For The Saving Of Their Sinful Souls!

A Non-Existent Existent Rejected God
With A Non-Existent Existent Ignored Law
Is Perfect
For The Wannabe God
To Raise Up An Army Of The Surely

AND

Sincerely Damned! 

By So Doing
His Evilness, Himself 

Gets To Hurt The Very Heart Of
The Holy Son Of God
The Son Of Man!

Let Us Not Follow The Multitude
To Do Evil
To Walk In The Way Wrong!
God Is Not The Author Of Confusion
Unbridled Revelry
Nor Doing Planned Wrong!

Confidently Hiding Your Head In The Dry Sand
Does Not Protect Your Body! 

AND
Indulging In Rampant Sin
Does Not Make The Eternal God A Nobody!

God

The Living God
God Almighty 

The Eternal God
Is Sovereign Lord 

AND

God For Real

No Matter Who Calls Him Stale
AND
No Matter What You Say Or Do
He Is Judge!
He Is Paymaster!
AND
He Determines Our Wages
According To What It Is In The Flesh That We Do!

An Inconvenient Truth Is This

- It Shouldn't Be -
But That Does Not Make It A Lie!

You May Lie To Your Self, My Friend
BUT

Your Words Do Not Your Soul Edify!

You Are Mortal
AND
All Mortals Are Subject To Death
So If You Know You Are Dying
Go! Go! GO!

To God
- In The Name Of The Lord Christ - 

AND
Your Sins Confess

Repenting Of Those Sins
AND
Vehemently Denying The Known Liar
AND
You Will Be Out

You Will Get Out Of
Condemnation's Foul Mess!

God Is True!
Satan Is The Father Of Lies!

The Fallen Angels With Satan Are All Liars!

AND

Every Man Born Of A Woman Is A Liar!

Brethren,
It Is Time For Us To Look Up
Higher
To The Only One Who Can Save Us

From Damnation's Fire!

Amen, My Friend! 

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The One Who Did Our God Deny!

Jesus Christ 

Triumphant King

Holy Lord

God All Glorious

The Overcomer

Speaker of Peace

Destroyer of The Devil and The Devilish

*******************

Dear Stewart pointed out 
In the IDE/IED acronym play that Jesus says:
"I Did Enough!
I Even Died!"

Well, let me tell you of
That Other Side
Of The One who Lied
Of The one who did Our God Deny:

Satan is The Copy Cat!
When it comes to Creation
He can not do that for
His method is to pull things out of a "Big Black Hat!" 

Satan speaks to Being Creative
But all he can do is to Abominate!
He never can Bless but he will Dominate
And his basic ingredient is to Always Humans Hate!

Satan brags each day of his Expressed Prowess
Over man and woman whom he will Oppress
Of woman and man whom he doth possess
Being ever the usual False Witness!

Satan, as usual, must follow behind God
But with The Spin
He, The Lie, doth Deploy
He gives The Plus plus The Minus 
And he achieves "Goal!" with a thrusting of Self-trust!

Satan motivates himself each day
By making men believe that:

Sin ever Pays

That Man is god

That to Do Good is to Need Greed

That Feeling Flesh is Staying Fresh, and

Gotcha is Good Growing Seed!

And when Satan takes himself a Non-break
He strokes his Ego
Before he on another victim let's go!
He looks in his mirror
And repeats the vile mantra he wrote, and
Proceeds valiantly Wicked Seeds to sow:

"It's All About Meeeee!

I Will With Ignoble Deeds Humans Ensnare!

I Will Ex-filtrate Souls Every Day!"

And he sings to himself his glory song:

"I ENSNAAARE with ignoble needs

I will daily The Humans' Greed feed

With Putrid Praise

With Petty Pleas

With Puffup Pastry

And Pesky Deed Fleas

Of Self and Sin

Of Song and Dance

Of Vodka and Gin

Of Smoke and Mirrors

Of Conquerable Skies and

Dark Domains enchained

Of Life unfettered

Without restraints

With me in charge

By lies about Him

I'll weave my Web of Deceit

And I will deny Them to Him!"

Dear Ones:

Please remember these points:

(1)

Seeking Self 

Sets Satan's Seal Securely 

Upon 

Sinner's Souls!

(2)

Saints Solemnly Seek After Their Soul's Salvation!

(3)

Seeking The Savior Seals and Saves From Sin!

(4)

Satan is The Lifelong Liar

He will reap Almighty God's Ire

Don't fall and join him on the Funeral Bier

The Holy God is going to rain down Living Fire!
