HAPPY SABBATH + Lord, Heal My Soul!

My Mother's Name Is Not Nature!
My Father's Name Is Not Time!
My God Is Not A Man Of The Cloth
Nor One Wearing Dress Clothes!
My Faith Is Not Icecream Called Soft!

AND

I Will Call No Man Holy
AND
Definitely Not Divine!

My Faith
Is Built On Christ The Solid Rock!
My Hope
Is For Heaven At The Last!
Mercy On Me
Comes From The Holy God
Upon Whom My Lot Is Cast
AND
At The Appointed Time
AND
By My Living Faith
In The Crucified BUT Alive Jesus
I Shall Mount Up With Wings As The Eagle
AND
I Shall Roam About Eternity Vast
Where All Is Present
AND
Nothing Is Called Old Deads Of The Past!

Why Should I Be Discouraged
When Things Seem All Contrary?
I Serve A Blessing God
Who Is Faithful
AND
Oh, So Dear
AND
Always True
So
I Will Say:

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!

It Is The True

And

Living Holy God

That I Worship

With Godly Fear!

The Peace From My God
Passes All Human Understanding!
The Grace From My God
Lubricates All My Pathways!
I Walk Upright
Though Some Call Me Uptight
BUT
Thank God For Christ Jesus
I Shall Continue Fighting
The Good Fight!

PRAYER:

Lord,

When You Shall

In Your Kingdom Come

Please

Remember Me

For

I Say

- In The Name Of The Beloved Christ Who Died -

Be Merciful Unto Me

And

Heal My Soul

For

I Have Sinned Against Thee!
Lord, Forgive Me!

I Was A Sinner Bold!

Please Save My Soul

For

I Desire To Be Saved

Into Your Secure Sheep Fold!

Lord,

Please Let Your Peace

Give Me Rest!

May Your Mercy

- Shed Abroad -

Fall Upon All Those

Who

- With Contrite Hearts -

Their Own Sins Confess!

Help All Who Believe

To Trust You And In You

And

To Walk In The Right Way

So That

In The Glorious Day

With Eagle's Wings

We Shall

- To Eternity -

In Triumph

Fly Away!

Grant Us Your Grace, Dear Lord

And

Do For Us

What None But The Holy God Will Do!

In Jesus' Name, We Pray And Plead

So Please Bless

And

Keep Us

As On The Living Holy Word, We Feed!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + TRUSTING GOD: The Arena

Lurching About
Constant Step
Lolli Gag
AND
Nipitin D.  Bud
Were Facing Litmus Test
In The Annual Life Of Man Contest
On The Isle Of Bites!

The Competition Is Fierce!
The Contestants - Ready Or Not -
Are Ready For The Battle!

The Audience Is Primed And Raging!
The Lions - Roaring and Rent 
Were,  Well, Rearing and Tearing
AND
The Stench Of Blood Is In Air!

The Spirits Are Moving!

Grubby and Greedy Hand 
Are Grabbing
The Clearly Cheap Trinkets 
Being Tossed About!

Hearts Are Cold!
Heads Are Hot
AND
Man's Time Of Visitation
Is Scheduled In
The Know-Not The Hour Slot!

Pain Is Prominent!
Cruelty Is Cute!
Crude Is Campy
AND
Savagery Is No Slouch!

The Right Answer Is The Wrong Answer
AND
The Winner Is The Loser Is The Winner
Depending On
Which Side Of Litmus Test
You Land Upon!

It's A Heaven  Hell Thing!

NOW ...

The Whole Scene Is Reminiscent Of A Joust
OR
Worse,  Yet
The Roman Games!

If You -  Dee Observer
Were To Squint -  Just-So
You Might See The Burnt-out Remains of
The Last Winner Loser Winner-Torch!

This Is Not The Place 
To Be On The Wrong Side 
Of The Right Side Of Powers Elite
Who Grand Stands
AND
Is Very Much Into
Pomp N.  Circumstance
AND
Who Loved,  Loves,  Lives
For
The Spectacular Spectacle
Where No One Has The Need To
Speculate On Who Will Be Made The Spectacle
AND
Where One Needs No Spectacles 
To See Said Spectacle
Which Is Always - Assuredly 
Spectacularly Spectacular!

The Spectacle Is Always Free
AND
Free Food Is Always Provided ...
Unlike Truth!

Please Note That:

Conscience
Qualms
AND
Queries
Are Not Permitted Inside The Arena
For
This Is The Place For
Filling Unnatural Needs!

It Is The Place 
To Get 
Your Blood Guts And Gory!

AND ...

You May Even Get To Hear
The Wonderful Old Story
Which Is Sure To Offend
The Wasted
AND
Lift The Spirits Of Those
Who Will Be Sure To Be Toasted!

Let Me Cut This Song And Dance
And Tell You Plain That
In This Place
No Christian Stands A Chance
For Evil Has Made A Hefty Cash Advance
AND
The Demons Are Always Ready
To Pounce And Prance!

Constant Step
AND
Nipitin D. Bud
Are 

The Main Event!

Their Strength Is Well Spent!

The Killing Question
Had Been Asked
AND
The Answer 
Had Made Powers Elite Blanch
AND
Red-Faced
He Asked:

"Do You Have A Last Word?
Speak Now
For Never Again
Will Your Voices
Be On Earth Heard!"


Without Hesitation AND ... In Tandem
Is Heard:

"God's Free Mercy Streameth
Over All The World!
Men And Women Ignore It
Their Iniquities At It Hurl
They See No Need For Repentance
To Have Their Sins Blotted Out
They Choose To Follow That Wicked Satan
And
Like Minions
Follow Him
All About!

BUT ...

The Loving,  Kindly,  Jesus
Even In This Very Day
Is Still Calling Someone To Salvation
So That For His Own Sin
He Won't Have To Pay!
You Must Forsake All Others
All Udders You Must Forsake
For The Milk Of Apostate Christianity
Is In Your Heart
Your Soul
A Burning Stake!

The Gathering Roared In Palpable Anger:

"That's What You're Going To Be In A Minute!!"

"Shut 'em Up!"

"Light The Fire!"

"Give' em The Chop!"

AND,  THEN

"Let Them Speak!"

"They's Talk Real Purty!"

"The Door Of God's Mercy Is Still Open!
Entrance Is Free To All!
Just Walk In
Bringing Your Sin
As Your Offering To Him
Who Specializes In
Soul Remaking!"

"Cast Off Your Sorceries
Your Fornicating
Your Effiminate Behaviors
Your Idol Worshipping!"

HISSSSSSS ....!

"God Hates Your Lying
And Your Loving Of Lies
Your Whorings And Deceits
And Your Enjoyment When
The Workers You Cheat!"

"Sing One Of Them Zion Songs!"

""I Have No Song To Sing
But That Of Christ My King
To Him My Praise I'll Sing
For Evermore
His Love Beyond Degree
His Death That Ransomed Me
Now And Eternally
I'll Sing It O'er!""

"Not That Song!"
"Not That Song!"
"Not That Song!"

"Brethren,
Now Is The Day Of Salvation!
Now Is The Acceptable Time
To Accept Jesus Christ
The True
AND
Living
Holy Eternal God!"

"Money Can't Save You!
Power Won't Feed You!
Sin Don't Need You
BUT
Satan Will Grieve You!"

"God Is Faithful!
God Is Just!
God Will Cleanse!
God Will Heal!
God Forgives
AND
God Will Your Heart Seal
If You Turn,  Turn
Turn Away
AND
Walk Away From The Evil One!"

"God Loves You
And ... So ... Do ... I!

And They Died
Faces Internally Lit
Eyes Lifted To Heaven
Holding Hands Saying

"Yes,  Jesus Loves Me ...!"

THIS STORY CONCLUDES IN GLORY-LAND!!

HAPPY SABBATH + When God Looks Upon This Face

From you I rate no second glance
Nor even a small, kind word
But when God looks upon this face
He sees beauty unreviled.

To you I rate no deep concern
To you I have no merit
But when Jesus looks upon this face
He says my life has His upon it!

You look outside!
You use earth-eyes!
You judge me on the surface!
But Jesus, bless His Holy Name
Decided His Love had no such limits!

He loves me not for what I do, or did, today
Or on some distant shore
He loves me for He knows I’m ill
And that He, Himself, is my only cure!

I see His look of love each day
And am blessed to know I - without merit -
Can ask Him for some favor small
And know He’ll not put strings upon it!

He loves me, and I love Him, too, and
In the grand scheme there's no need to shout about it!
But glory be to God on High
I’m blessed, and I don’t care who knows about it!

Christ looked inside!
He bled! He died!
And because He did, one day
I’ll be hailed in new body, perfect and glorified!

HAPPY SABBATH + Satan Can't Tell The Future

Satan can’t tell the future

Even if he had a crystal ball

'Cause it is not within his realm

Listen up! He is not the Lord!

Satan cannot create life

His reality is to destroy

He ever lives to reap a harvest of the unbelievers

Who choose to be in his employ!

Satan can deceive you

Satan can lead you astray

Satan will seek to destroy you - 

Choose Jesus, and run

Runway, far away!

Rebuke Satan!

Bless the Lord!

Stand on God’s promises!

Cover up in the Word!
