IMAGINE THAT: Facts, Faith, Doubt And Decisions!



Faith Does Not Utilize Imagination!
Imagination Is In The Realm Of Doubt!
Faith Gives One Hope To Trust
And
Doubt Instructs One Not To Hope!!!

Jesus Christ
Is 
The Way
The Truth
The Light
The Life Of Every Man!

Jesus Christ Calls Us ... His Believing Children
Salt Of The Earth
Light Of The World!

We Are What We Are
Because
Of Who He Is
What He Has Done
And
What He Is Doing
And
We Are Called To Tell The World The Truth
The Good News Gospel Story
In Season
And
Out Of Season
Aka Whether It Pleases Or Annoys!

Did You Know ...

Man ... Fallen Man
Has No Power To Resist The Word Of God!

The Word Of God, Brethren
Again, Is Truth, Light And Life
But
Alas And Alack
Man ... Being A Free Moral Agent
With Free Will
With Free Choice
Has The Power To Reject The Blessing That Is
The Living, Eternal, Word Of 
The Holy, Eternal, Faithful
Blessing, Just, Almighty God!

Let's Go Deep
And 
See What We Shall Reap:

Light Illuminates
Light Blinds

Salt Preserves
Salt Destroys

The Way Blesses
The Way Curses

Life Prospers
Life Bankrupts

Truth Uplifts
Truth Casts Down

If We Look Closely
Carefully
Thoughtfully
We Shall Observe Perspective
And
We Shall Know That Decisions
- Personal Decision -
Determines Outcomes!

I Look ... You Can't See!
You Look ... I Can't See!
Look, Again
And
See That
I See For Me
And
You See For You
And
There Is No Created Being That Can
Make A Fatal Decision For Anybody
Be It Me Or You!

In All This, Brethren
How Do You Stand!?!
Where Do You Belong!?!
To Whom Do You Belong!?!
For Whom Do You Sing Your Life's Song!?!

Are You Amongst The Naysayers
Or
Are You Amongst The Called
The Few
The Chosen
The Brave
The Enduring Faithful
Who Will Not To The Ways Of The Fallen World
Cave!?!

Do You Love The Unvarnished Truth Of The Living Word!!
Is The Word Colored By Your Feelings And Desires!!
Do You In The Lord Christ Have Working Faith!?!
Will You Be Amongst The Finally Saved!?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONFLICTING PRIORITIES: Bent Conscience + PRAYER

Creeping Compromise
AND
Pressure To Conform
Are Adopted Children Of
Christian Living By-Faith!
They Are Really, Really, Really Bad Kids
AND
They Don't Care Who Know It!

Good Gracious!
How Did This Happen!

Very, Very, Very Slooooooooowly!

Why Did This Happen!?!

It Happened Because
Christian Living By-Faith
- Conscience Badly Bent -
Became Very, Very, Very Complacent
And Careless
And Ambivalent
And Gainsaying
And Greedy For Gain
And Anxious For Elevation
And Tired Of Waiting ...!

... Tired Of Waiting!?!
For Jesus!?!

Simply Put, Yes!

He Wanted The Wisdom
And The Power
And The Glory
And The Honor
And The Praise ...!

... You'd Better Stop!
You're Saying That He Wanted To Be God!

Pretty Much!

A Christian Wanting To Be God!?!

Another Lucifer In The Camp Of The Saints!

... Lord, Help Us!


How Does This Happen!?!

When A Christian Gets Complacent
About His Daily Prayers
And
Fixes His Focus
On What Brings Carnal Minds Cheer
He Forgets Who Is His Master
And
What His Mission Is
And
He Gets Himself All Tied Up In Getting Things
And
Causes Old Satan To Go Into Actionable Top Gear!

Complacent Christian Becomes Careless
- A Car Without Wheels -
And
Thinks Nothing Of Compromise
Because
His Eye Is On The Corporeal
And Not On The Heavenly Real
And
His Ears Tickle From Tasting
Tender Trite Bold And Base Lies
And
This Happens All Because 
He Is Into The ... I-Feels!

A Committed Christian
Is
A Christian Standing In Truth And On Fact
And
Not A Christian Devoted To Feeling
Because
When Feeling Is Foremost
Fact Suffers Lack
And
A Christian Suffering The Lack Of Facts
Is
A Weak Christian ... Primed 
For Satanic Attack!

A Weak Christian Under Satanic Attack
Indulges
In Ambivalence
Becoming Wishy-Washy 
And As Stable As A Wind-Blown Cloud
And
Subject To The Vagaries Of The Wind
By Which He Is Being Blown About!


The Ambivalent Christian
Then Indulges In Gainsaying
Challenging
The Very Word Of The Eternal Holy God
Not Fearful Of Chastisement
Willing Only Toward The Enticement
That Is The Trojan Horse Gift Of Satan
The Fallen Angel And God-Fraud!

Gainsaying Christian
Then Settles
For The Eyefull Of Current Time
And Foreswears The Bellyful
Promised
By The Lord God Holy Divine
And
Awaiting The Faithful
The Enduring
The Waiting Watching Working Saved
Who Shall Ascend To His Great Glory
And Live
Forever And Always!

With Gainsaying
Comes
Greed For Gain
And
Anxiety For Social Elevation
And
Soon
There Is Outright Rebellion
And
The Stated Tiredness Of Waiting On Jesus Christ
Our Savior, King And Lord
Who Ain't Never Coming Again
Because
He Has Heard That Jesus Was Coming
Since Adam Was A Lad
And
In His Illuminated Mind
He Is Now Become A Fable
A Bedtime Story
A Fad
And
He Is Truly Glad
That He Has Insight And Foresight
And
He Is Getting What's To Be Got
While The Getting Still Is 
The Thing Called Hot!

His Desire Is To Be Among The Have's
Not Among The Have-Nots!

Brethren, Beloved
Listen Closely Unto Me
Waiting On The Lord Is Not Doing Nothing!
It Is Doing Your Assigned Chore
With Humility
Dedication
Commitment To Task
Ignoring The Naysayers
And
Working The White Fields Vast!

He Who Is Cast Out
And Forever Broken
One Satan By Name
Is Uncaring Of Your Acquiring Worldly Gains
As Long As You Join Him 
In Unquenchable Flames!

All Who Are Greedy
Greedy For Gain
Are Pierced Through With Many Sorrows
And
End Their Lives In Abject Shame!

Please Do Not Be In A Hurry For Riches
For Mortal Man's Applause
For Profits' Chains
Because
In The Day Of Vengeance
Profit Is For Only Those Who
Sought The Elevation Of Jesus Christ The Lord
In The Hearts Of Those
Previously In Sin And Lost!
Please Count The Cost!

What Does It Profit A Man
If
He Shall Gain The Whole World
And
Lose His Own Soul!?!
What Will A Man Pay For To Save His Soul!?!

What Is Already Purchased
Cannot Be Bought Again
And
Specifically That Already Bought By
The Glorious King Of Love
The Lord Of Life!
In Him Is Our Only Means Of Survival
Of
The Earthly Strife!




What Jesus Christ Has For Us ... Is Free!
When Jesus Christ Sets Us Free We Are ... Indeed Free!
Heaven Awaits ... The Sin-Free!


Buy Lies
And
Walk To Hell For Free!

Creeping Comprise
And
Rush To Conformity
Are Shoes Best Left 
In Damnation's Free-For-All Store!

Don't Bite The Pretty Lure!
Don't Buy The Musical Lore!

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

PRAYER:

Father,
I Thank You
For Your Promise To Me
Of
Life Everlasting
Of
Peace Eternally!

I Bless You, Lord
For My Innumerable Blessings!
I Trust You For My Daily Care!
I Will To Follow Jesus Christ
My Only Savior
And
Wait On Him Faithfully
To Share His Riches
In Paradise!
In Mercy
Please Hasten
The Great Redemption Day!

Please Help Thou My Brethren
In Families Near And Far
And
Bless Them With All Blessing
So That They Will
Steadfastly Walk
To The Glorious Kingdom
Whose Gates, Beckoning
Now Widely Stand Ajar!

Please Hear My Heart's Plea
And
May Your Holy Spirit
Gently Guide Us
Into All Truth
And
The Holy Angels
Stand Perpetual Guard!

Remember Us All, Lord
According To Your Divine Will
And
In Your Holy Way
For
In Jesus Christ's Name
I Pray And Humbly Plead!
AMEN.

THE HOLY GRAIL: The Living Word!

The Word Of Almighty God
In The Hand Is Bread
In The Heart Is A Light
In The Mouth Is A Sword
In The Ear Is Truth
In The Eye Is Sight
Leading The Way
Through The Dark Night!

The Word Of Almighty God
Gives Faith
- To The Believer -
AND

That Faith Gives Courage
AND
That Courage Gives Strength
To Stand Against The False Report
Given By The Lying Spies
-  Hog-Tied To The Devil -
Who Love The Baleful Influence
Exerted Over The People
Travelling
To The Promised Land
Who
- By Feeding Doubt -
Trust Not The Word Of God
BUT

Trust Instead
The False Word Of Satan-Inspired
Willful
Disobedient Men!

Don't You Know That ...

Satan Is The Liar
AND
The Father Of Lies
AND
His Words Are Truth Reversed!?!
He Loves And Lives To Make The Lie
AND
Like Him
His Workers Are By The Eternal God Cursed!

The Truth Of Almighty God
IS
The Sharp Once-Swung Twice-Cutting Sword
AND
Body-Protecting Shield
Guiding Light
Healthful Bread
Thirst-Quenching Water
AND
Soul-Protecting Seal
AND
All Who Follow
With Conscience Yielded
AND
With Living Working Enduring Faith
Will Never
From The Promised Land Be Left Out
For Having Made Shipwreck Of Sure Salvation
Through Non-Working Faith!

My Brother!
My Sister!
You Who In Jesus Christ Believe
Let The Preserved Word Of God Be Your Fact Checker!
Check Out The Truth!
Don't Let Yourself By Popular Word Be Deceived!

Just Because The Important Folk Of The Hour
Are Sharing Out Free Baked Fish
Don't Be Greedy
AND
Just Cut And Swallow! 

Check The Good Book
For The Seasoning Ingredients
AND
If They're Not There
Cast Away That Fish
AND
Tell Your Brethren
Don't Buy!
Don't Bite!
Don't Swallow!
AND
Don't The Loud Rabble
Like Youth Callow
Follow!

Lies Cause
Doubt
Brings Fear
Carries
Unbelief
Which Leads To Sorrow And Death
AND
Never Blessings
The Believing Heart To Immeasurably Cheer!

A Little White Lie Is Black!
A Blackened Truth Is Never A Lie!
Truth Cannot Die
AND
The Lie
AND
The Liar
Cannot Forever Live!

Don't Believe Me?!
Ask The Twelve Hebrew Spies!
Ten Lied And Ten Died!
Two Spoke Truth And Two Prospered
AND
All Those Persons Who Believed
The Lie And The Liars
Wandered In The Desert
AND
Became Dust
For Other Men To Walk Over!

Do You Want To Know How To Detect A Lie
AND
Recognize The Liar?!
Immerse Yourself In The Plain
The Unspun
The Uncolored
The Unadulterated Truth Of
The Living God Who 
Is
The Sure Way
The Plain Truth
AND
The Holy Light
That Gives
Life!

If You Do
    When You Do
         As You
That Dragon
Satan
The Devil
That Piercing Serpent
Cannot
Your Soul Assail
AND
Of Achieving Heaven
At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Not Fail!

The Word

The Truth
Of
Almighty God
Is
The Hidden In Plain Sight
Holy Grail!

THANKS GIVING: How Would You Feel...?!







Dear Ones,

The Reason That There Are So MANY VERSES In The Bible 
Regarding Asking For Gifts 
AND 
Thanksgiving For Benefits Received
Is
To Remind Us 
To Remember 
Our Manners!

Think For Yourself:

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Whose Voice Only Extended To Cover Two Things :


"Give Me ...!"

AND


"I Want ...!"


How Would You Feel About A Child 
Who Ignores Your Rules 
AND
Directions 
But
ALWAYS 
Has A Hand In Your Wallet Or Pocket!

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Who Never 
Humbly Asked 
For Anything 
BUT
Always Aggressively 
Presumptuously 
DEMANDS
That You Provide For Him Her
BUT
Is NEVER Willing 
To Go On Even The Smallest Errand For You!

How Would You Feel About 
Your Child 
Who Never Blesses Your Faithful Giving 
BUT
Who Curses You 
For Not Giving Into Their Very Often 
Foolish 
AND
Dangerous
Wants?

How Would You Really Feel About 
The God Who Gives His Children
Only 
Party Food And Favors 
BUT
Never Life-Sustaining Food?

How Would You Honestly Feel About 
The God Who Would Give 
A Growing Child 
A Homestead In Candy Land 
With The Stipulation That 
That Child Never Go To 
Vegetable Village
Nor To 
Wise Water-Ways
Nor To 
Heaven-Sent Glades?

Think On This:

The Very God Who Desires
To Hear Our Humble Prayers 
AND 
Petitions
IS
The Very Same God
Who Desires To Hear
Our Glorious Praise 
AND
Joyful Words Of Thanksgiving 
Before
When 
AND
After 
He Blesses Us
With The Desires Of Our Hearts!

Almighty God
Is Also
The Same God
Who Desires To Hear Us Say:

"Thank You, Father!"

For His Saving Grace
Protecting Us
From Making The Biggest Mistakes
Of Our Lives
By His Withholding
That Which Was Not
To Our Blessing!

When We Request A Favor
From A Friend
Do We Not Say:


"Thanks ... In Advance!"

Is Not The Living God
Worth Much More
Than This!


Lest We Forget ...

In Highest Gratitude
We Should Also "Throw In!" 
A Little Something Extra Each
For The Blessings Of:

  • Food
  • Shelter
  • Clothing
  • Life
  • Love
  • Health
  • Wealth
  • Friends
  • Family
  • Trees
  • Grass
  • Air
  • Sunshine
  • Rain
  • Exercise
  • Peace
  • Rest
  • Belief
  • Blessing
  • Faith
  • Living Hope
  • Hope For Glory
  • Etc., etc..
Saying "Thank You!" 
To Our Holy God 
AND
Praising Him 
For His Blessings Toward Us 
CANNOT 
Diminish Us 
In Neither 
Our Eyes Nor His! 

Praise Costs Us Nothing 
AND
Blesses Us Mightily 
In The Realm Of The Great Unknown!


Heaven's 
Unspeakable Glories 
Await!

Let Us Practice 
Our Praising
The Almighty God
For His Glorious Bounties
To Us
From 
All Like NOW!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FICTION FRUIT 'N FACTS: Sin Has A Cost + PRAYER: Forgive Me, Lord








I Was Looking At Myself
And One Day I Saw
Me
Bargaining
With The Lord
And When
Through The Spirit
I Realized What It Was I Had Been Doing
I Knew That I Was Going
Down
The Wrong Path!

In Shame
I Asked My Self:

How Do You Bargain
With The One Who Made 
You
AND
Who Maintains You 
As A Soul Living?

How Do You Bargain
With The One Who Gives 
To You Highest Heaven
As The Blessed Attainment 
For Your Soul?

How Can You Bargain
With The One Who Holds 
The Planet 
Your Home
In The Palm Of His Hand?

How Do You Bargain
With The God Who Knows
The Numbers 
Of Every Beach's Grains Of Sand?

How Do You Bargain
With The God Who Numbered 
The Strands Of Hair On The Head
That You Are Now Holding In Your Hand?

How Do Your Bargain 
With The God Who Knew 
You
Before You First Gripped A Finger
On Your Mother's Hand?

Ashamed
I Turned To My Father
The God Of Heaven And Earth
AND
With Tears Of Contrition
I Said To My Lord:


Father,
I Was Bold
And I Fearlessly Believed
That I Could Bargain With Thee!

I Was Foolish, Dear Father!
I Spoke Arrogantly!
I Indulged Myself In Presumption
Behaving As Though
We Were Mates!
I Was Behaving Like The Very Devil
Whose Sin You Surely Hate!

Father, I Am Sorry!
Forgive Me, I Pray!
Turn My Heart
From That Consuming Broad Way
And Guide Me
Along Your Straight And Narrow Way!

Father, Help Me
To Accept
What I Receive From You
In The Reading Of Your Word
And Help Me To Stop Trying 
To Be A Big Head
Acting Like The Intelligent
Know-It-All's Of The World
Who Are By Satan Fed!

Father, I Desire To Walk 
As Your Compliant Child
No Longer Willing
To Walk On The Wicked And Wild Side!

Lord,
When You Give Me A Biscuit
Instead Of The Loaf Of Bread
For Which I Did Plead
Help Me To Accept 
My Biscuit With Gratitude
Realizing That There Are Others
Who Will Be Grateful
For What I Upon
Daily Freely Feed!

Forgive Me, Lord
For My Presumption
For My Willingness
To Believe I Can Walk
By My Self
And Still Turn To You For Direction
So Humbly 
Yet Lyingly
As I Once Prayed!

Help Me, Dear Father
I Don't Want To Earn Satan's Pay!

Forgive Me, Dear Father
For Heeding Self
And Walking Proud
And Acting The Fool!
I Love You, Lord
Please Continue To Feed Me
With Your Blessed Food!
AMEN
