HAPPY SABBATH + Contentment!?!

The Sorrows Of This Life

Are Myriad

But
The Joys Reposing In Christ Jesus

Are Infinite! 

How Many Of Us Can Truly Say 
When We Are Short Of Money, Food
The Comforts Of Life
Personal Peace, Quiet, Rest
Pleasant Work
Or Even A Loving Relationship: 

"I Am Contented In Christ!?! 

Do You Remember To Say Likewise 
When All Is Well!?! 

Is Your Contentment From Having Things 

Or From Personally Knowing Jesus Christ Our Lord!?! 

Can You Recognize The Difference!?! 

Let Me Make It Perfectly Plain That
What Jesus Has For You, Is Yours: 
He Always Blesses No Matter How Things Look Or Feel! 

I Encourage Us All

To Stand On His Sure Promises

And 

To Be At Peace! 

Jesus Christ Is Caring For Us

And

Abundant Blessings Await All His Believing Ones! 

Let Me Point Out Here For Us All That
Contentment Is A Godly Attribute 

Which Is An Indicator Of 

Our Faith And Trust In The Living God 

To Be Our Provider!

AMEN!!!

That's A Whole Sermon That You Just Preached!

Truth Must Be Completely Told, Though, Brethren!

Contentment Is Scarce All Around 
Because 

People Don't Know The Real Jesus 

And 

Do Not Understand "This Faith Thing" 

That We Practice 
As They So Disdainfully Call It!

I Ain't Practicing!
I'm Living By Faith!

I'm With You!
This Is The Last Over Of The Game
And Jesus Christ Is Coming
And That Satan Is Bowling Bouncers
With Live Ammunition!

You Got That Right!
This Ain't No Practice Game!
This Is Do Time!

Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us 
- The Word Says Every Man -
The Daily Gift Of Faith
- Believers Use It To Cope With Life -

And

Since Multitudes Have No Faith

Because 
They Don't Know King Jesus

All Around Us Is Disarray

Sorrow, Discontentment
Murder, Mayhem, Spiritual Bankruptcy 
Carnality, Criminality And Conspiracy

And

The Real Problem Children Called 
And 
Known As 
Debilitating Doubt And Damnable Disbelief! 

A Lil' Bit Of Jesus Surely Soothes The Savage Heart! 

A Life Lived In And For Christ Jesus 
Makes The Pains Of Human Existence Easier To Bear! 

Indeed
And
With Your Kind Permission
Here Are Some Words To Live By
Which Will Settle This Matter
Once And For All
For Us All:

I Have Faith 

So I Am Trusting My Lord Jesus 

Who Daily Gives Me His Faith 

So That I Will Daily Trust Him

By Daily Having His Gift Of Faith

Which Daily Causes Me To Daily Trust Him!

It's A Beautiful Circle!

All In All A Good Day's Blessing!

Nice Circle!

Hear, Hear!
I Sincerely Thank Our Father In Heaven That
There Are No Angles In Or To Our Jesus!

Preach It, Brother! 

You Are All So Correct!
When I Look Around
I See The Detritus Of Lives Lived By False Gods
False Teachings From False Teachers
And Broken Promises
Because Of All The Angles Useful ... Supposedly
To Find Happiness Aka Contentment!

It Makes A Big Man Want To Cry!

Let Me Repeat, My Peoples
Contentment 
Is Only Found
In Jesus Christ The Lord!
Any Other Way ... Or Mode To Contentment
Is
Compliments Of Satan The Adversary
That Lying, Murdering, False God!

People!
Hope In The Lord!

Bless Yourself

Aka Make Yourself Truly Happy

By Pleasing Almighty God!

THE PROXY-PARADISE : Followers, Fanatics, Friends Or Family Of Jesus Christ!?!

Following The Lord Christ
Cannot Be An Act Of Fitfulness
An Act Of Caprice!
Following The Lord Christ
Is
The Act Of Faithfulness
Because We Have Seen The Great Light!

Many Men Of Many Minds
Purport To Follow Christ
But 
This Following Is Only Because
In It
There Are Dollar Signs!

Many Followers Of Christ
Follow As Fanatics
Aka Fans
Because It Is The Popular Trend
BUT
They Only Know What He Is Supposed To Do
In A Future Time
And Not What He Can Truly Do In Their Lives ... Now
In This The Testing Time!

Many Following-Fans Of Christ
Consider Him A Magician!
Many Others Think He Is A Grandly Personal Piggy Bank

AND
Many Others Believe That He Is Their Personal Sharp Sword
To Sever The Obey-The-Law Cord!

Many Others In Grand Confidence
Believe That They Are Appointed
The By-Proxy-Christ
AND THAT THAT
Gives Them The Authority
To Create For Others On Earth
The Proxy-Paradise!

Yada! Yada!
All Well And Good!
Enough With The Preamble!
What Are You?!
Friend Follower Fan?!
WHO Are YOU?!

Glad You Asked!

I Am A Faithful Follower Of Christ Jesus!
He Is My Savior!
He Is My Forever Friend!
He Is The Lover Of My Soul
AND
On His Strong Arm
I Totally Totally Completely Truly Depend!

I Am His Blessed Child!
I Am His Faithful Servant!
He Drew
- He Draws Me  -

To His Side
AND
He Did Not Need A Warrant!

I Choose To Daily Walk With Jesus!
He Is My Lord
AND
He Is My Only God!
He, It Is, Who Paid My Bride-Price
AND THEREBY
Made The Way For Me
To Get Out Of The Unholy Clutches Of
The Damned And Wily Satan
The Known And Murderous God-Fraud!

I Am No Fan Of Jesus
Because
Like Any True Fanatic Would Know
Allegiance Turns Every Which Way
AND
I Refuse To Live My Life With That Playing Card!

I Follow Where Jesus Christ Leads
AND
I Will Not Have It To Be
Any Other Way
Given The Time Of This Dying World's Day!

I Am The Committed Friend Of Jesus!
We Walk Together
Because 
He Loves Me
AND
I Love Him
AND
With Him
I, Believing
Agree!

We Reason Together
AND
By The Leading Of The Holy Spirit
AND
My Heart's Personal Desire
He IS My Shepherd
He Leads Me
AND
I Follow Him ... Willingly
Eagerly
Conscientiously
On The Safe Straight And Narrow Way
Every Single Solitary Day!

I Lean Upon His Goodness!
I Fall Upon His Grace!
I Stand Upon His Promises
AND
I Have No Desire
To Make Shipwreck Of His Faith!

Wow, Wee!!
All I Asked Was Who And What Are You!

Yes! YOU Asked!

Indeed, And YOU Answered!

Sooo ...

Now That We Have Established Who I Am
Would YOU Please Be So Kind
As To Tell ME Who YOU Are?!

Oh, It's No Secret!
I'm Just Like You!
A Run Of The Mill
Bible-Believing
Jesus-Follower
Thankful For Grace
Grateful For Mercy
Blessed With Faith
Basking In Free Salvation
Looking Forward To Seeing Jesus Christ
Face To Face
And Going To Glory!
He's Preparing For Me A Place!

Wuhloss!
If You Are Speaking Truth
That Means That You're My Family!
Are You Really My Family!?!

Family, Indeed!

Thank God For Grace
And Bless My Heart And My Eye-Sight!
Hugs And Smooches And All That Good Stuff!

Pleased To Make Your Acquaintance!

Care To Take A Walk With Me?!

Sure Do!

I Believe That That Means That We Agree!

Indeed It Does, Family!
Indeed It Does!

So, Tell Me How Is Your Walk With The Lord Progressing!

Do You Want The Short Version Or ...!

... Whatever You Feel Impressed To Share, Brother!

Wellll, It All Started When I Saw The Lord ...!

SATAN ACCUSES & ABUSES: Self-Hurt Is Not A Part Of Our Faith!

They Are Singing:

Greater Is He That Is In Me

Than He That Is In The World!

And Yet ...

Several Of Their Children
Were Being Cripplingly Bullied
AND
A Couple Of The Children
Had Exited The Earth With Prejudice
And ... Still
The Song Is:

Greater Is He That Is In Me ...!!

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
1 John 4:4‭, ‬13

There Is Something Very Wrong Here
AND
It Tells Us A Great Deal About
Our Christianity
AND
Our Faith, Belief, Hope, Love, Living, Life And Trust!

• What Are We Teaching Our Children About Him In Whom We Believe?
• Why Are Our Children Not Believing What We Believe?
• Why Are Our Children Not Receiving The Faith Of Belief?
• What Is It That Our Children Truly Believe?
• Whose Is The Voice That Our Children Are Hearing And Explicitly Trusting?

Job's Case Is The First One Documented Of
Bully Boy El Capitan Satan
In Inglorious Action
Plus ...
Some Friendly Fire!

And What Was Job's Response?

Elijah Was Bullied
AND
Bothered By Wicked Queen Jezebel!

David Suffered At The Hand Of Saul
AND
Steven Was Bullied By The Church!

Bullying Is A War Without Cause
Beating A Soul With A Belt Of Bear Claws
Cutting Deep
Deeply Exposing Flaws
As It Pushes One
Into The Fabricated Death Maw!

Bullying Is A Satanic Ploy
To Raise Up For Satan
A Dog For War
From A Soul Tortured
Who Then Curses
Asking:

What God?!

AND
Saying:

There Is No God!

As He Believes The Lies
Of The Great Bold Fraud!

The Response To Bullying And Abuse
Is Plainly Written Down For Our Edification:

Elijah Ran!
He Asked God To Take His Life!
God Fed Him
AND
Asked Him What He Was Doing
In The Unappointed Place
AND
Showed Him God's Power
AND
Spoke To Him In That Still Small Voice
AND
Sent Him On A Mission
AND ... At The Appointed Time
After Elijah's Completion Of His Work For God
God Called For Him To Come Home
AND
Sent His Personal Coach
To Carry Elijah
To God's House!

David Prayed
AND
Praised God Always!
David Walked Away!
David Rode Out Of The Way!
David Moved Away!
David Did His Appointed Work
AND
He Told His Abuser
About Said Abuser Doing The Devil's Work
In A Causeless Cause!

Stephen Was A Man Of Integrity
AND
A Committed
AND
Powerful Minister Of The Whole Gospel Of God!
He Taught His Accuser-Abusers
The Straight Word
AND
They Murdered Him
Who Was Blessed Of God!

Look At The Outcomes For Those Who Abuse The People Of God:

1. Satan Has An Unchangeable Appointment With The Lake Of Fire And Brimstone
After He Spends 1,000 Years In Misery With No One To Abuse And In Contemplation Of His Rottenness And Evil Ways!

2. Job's Friends Were Personally Chastised By God
AND
The Abused Job Had To Make Sacrifice To God
And Pray That They Be Saved Of God!

Job Was Vindicated!
Job Got Back All That He Had Lost
AND
Was Raised To Greater Glory
AND
Saw His Generations Come Forth
For Having Maintained His Integrity Before God!

3. David's Tormentor Saul 
After Having Repaired
To The Abominable Witch Of Endor - A Vessel Of Satan
Was Destroyed By His Own Hand
After Having Seen His Sons Die
And Having Himself Been Injured.

David Is - By God - Called The Man After God's Own Heart!
AND
The Redeemer Of The World Is Out Of His Loins!

4. Elijah's Abuser Queen Jezebel
The Idolater Par Excellence
Was Cursed Of God
AND
Came To A Gross End
Tossed By Her Own Servants
From A Height
To Be Eaten Of Wild Dogs.

Jezebel's Testament To The World Is In The Remains Of Her Body Found AFTER The Dogs Had Eaten Her:

• Her Head - Symbol Of Her Gross Consuming Belief In Useless False Gods
• Her Hands - Symbol Of Her Willingness To Do (Write) Evil Perjured Testimony
• Her Feet - Symbol Of Her Willful Willingness To Walk Contrary To The Living God!

Elijah Didn't Ever Die aka Elijah Is Still Alive TODAY! Hallelujah!

5. Stephen's Accusers
Were Grieved In Their Spirits
At The Words Of Truth
Which Disclosed Their Thoughts
AND
Spoke To Their Evil Actions!

Their Punishment Left Their House
- The Chosen Approved Church -
Unto Them ... DESOLATE!

Their Time Of Probation Was Over!
Thereafter, Judgement Began At The House Of God!

Almighty God Gifted Stephen
- In His Dying Agonies -
With A Vision Of The Throne Room Of God
And His Savior ... Standing Up ...
In Judgment Against The Accuser-Abusers!

Each Person Here
Bullied
Abused
Was Raised To Glory
Through The Excellent Exercise Of Faith
Displaying To All
Their Total Belief 
In The Eternal Provision
Of The Everlasting Father
Who Provides Sweet Peace
For The Riven Soul!

Love Had A Home!
Hope Had Wings!
Prayer Had Passion
AND
The Peace Of God
Dwelt Within!

I Dare To Ask:

Who Is Our God To Us In Our Battles
IF
As The Text Says
The Spirit Of God Dwells Within Us Who Believe?

Do We Really Believe
Have Faith
Love God
AND
Trust Ourselves To His Unerring Deliverance?

From My Own Personal Experience
I Will Tell You True
We Must Have The Gall
To Trust God All The Way
AND
The Unfettered Faith
To Believe
That Our God Can Our Plight Relieve!

Put Another Way
We Must Anchor Our Faith
In The Rock Of Our Salvation
Knowing
- Without Sight -
That With Our God
There Is No Night
AND
Even Though Our Eyes Cannot See
AND
Even Though Our Nerves Be E'er Frayed
We Must Not
- By The Holy Spirit's Leading -
Give In To Our Known Fears!

Before All

In All

AND

After All

God IS All

So ...

Let The Accuser Be Damned

AND

Live For The Almighty God!
