HARD THINGS BREAK: Stubbornness Is Like Idolatry!

 

Today Is The Day 

To Give Solid Thought To Destroying 

Our Stubborn Will 

And 

Giving Our All, Body, Mind, And Spirit 

To Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

If You Were A Stubborn Child

Or Had, Or Presently Have A Stubborn Child In Your Household

You Would Know That This Blessed Child Would Rather Die 

Before They Would Accept Or Acknowledge Defeat 

For Any Reason! 

They Do Not Fear Parent Or Any Adult Authority Figure

And 

Have Boldly, Proudly, Chosen Death With The Foolish  

Than To Humbly Accept The Living Wisdom Of The Wise-Alive! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Not Proud Like Lucifer-Satan! 

Godly Fear Is A Criterion For All 

Who Will Stand Without Shame Or Terror

In The Presence Of Our Jehovah God! 

We Must Come To The Knowledge That 

It Is Better To Suck Salt With Our Savior 

And

Be Eternally Blessed

Than To Sup Deada Aka Eat Unclean Meat 

With The Boldly Wicked

Those Who Walk Wise In Their Own Blind Eyes! 

Stubbornness Can Be Equated With Idolatry 

Because 

One Is Saying That They Only Answer To Themselves

Hence ... They Are A False God! 

Brethren Beloved,

We Did Not Create Ourselves

Cannot Keep Ourselves Alive

Or Provide Food For Ourselves 

... And ... 

It Is Ordained That 

We Each Must Give Account To Our King Jesus

Almighty God

The Judge Of All Flesh

For Everything That We Do In Our Flesh! 

Almighty God Doesn't Answer To Anyone

Nor Will He Share His Glory With Another! 

Remember That The Humble Bow Now 

And 

The Stubbornly Proud Will Burn Then

In The Day Appointed! 

Hard Things Break 

So Let's Not Be Wrong And Strong 

To Save Face With The Crowd! 

Please Walk Wise With The Meek: 

Fear God! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Is Not A Blind Guide!

KJV Proverbs 21:21

21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

Why Would A Christian Called, Committed, And Caring

Walk Confidently ... Eyes Down-Cast And Covered 

Along The Unknown Road Fraught With Danger

Policed By The Devil And Demons

The Demon-Possessed And The Demon-Inspired 

When Our Dear Savior Savior Says: 

"Look Up And Live: Follow Me!?!" 

Beloved, 

There Are People All Around Us 

Who Do Not Our Principles Share

Who Have Chosen The Path Of Destruction

And 

Who Do Not The Living, Holy, God Fear! 

I Beseech Us All Kindly

To Think Of Our Jesus 

Who Died To Grant Us Each His Free-To-All Salvation 

And Then

Remove The Blinders

And

Trustingly Lift Up Our Heads 

And

Widely Open Our Eyes! 

The Light Of Life 

Is 

Above And Ahead Of Us! 

The Strong Arm Of Love 

Is 

Our Comfort And Shield! 

The Road To Eternal Life

Is 

Straight, Narrow, And Clearly Defined

And 

Holy Angels Excelling In Strength 

Are Dutifully Protecting Us 

Who Are Staying On The Heaven-Bound Line! 

Work, Watch

Don't Wander Or Wonder

And 

Please Patiently Wait On 

The God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory! 

Jesus Christ Is Neither A Blind Guide

An Empty Cloud

A Shooting Star

Nor A Fruitless Tree 

So Honor Him Who Made You 

And 

Only To Him Give Your Heart 

And

Humbly Bend Your Knee!

Please Make Jesus Christ The King Your Choice! 

Peace!

SABBATH: Just Another Day!?!

What's The Big Deal!?!

It's Just Another Day!

Just Another Day!?!

The Sabbath Is Not

Neither Can It Ever Be

Just Another Day!

Whatever!

Just A Moment, Young Lady!

You And I Are Going To Have

A Coming-To-Jesus Meeting!

You Have A Very Rude Attitude

And

I Really Don't Care For

Your Sarcastic Tone Of Voice!

Sit Down!

Yes, Mam!

You Know Better!

You Know That The Seventh Day

Is

The Sabbath Of The Lord!

It's Neither My Day Nor Your Day!

You Well Know That

The Seventh-Day Sabbath

Aka Saturday

Is 

The Day Of Rest

The Day Of Joy And Gladness

And

Not A Day For Going To The Mall

For Going Partying

For Cleaning Your Room

For Prepping And Cooking Large Meals

Nor For Doing Those Things That 

Take Your Mind Away From 

Communing With The Lord Christ!

You Know Very Well That

The Sabbath 

Is 

The Memorial Of Creation

A Time For Us To Think On

And

Worship

And

Bless

And

Praise The Lord God Almighty

For His Unspeakable Gifts!

When I Give You Something

What Do You Say!?!

I Say, "Thank You For Your Kindness!"

And "I Love You!"

So Do You Not Think That

The One Day The Lord Asks Us

To Remember Him 

And 

His Moment-By-Moment Blessings Upon Us

Should Be The Day We Look Forward To

And

Should Be The Easiest Thing For Us To Acknowledge

And

Accept

And

Do As He Asks

And

To Say To Our Maker

Our God

Our King

Our Hope

Our Help

Our Provider

Our Sustainer

Our Peace

Our Rest

Our Shepherd

Our Teacher

Our Salvation

Our Judge

Our Redeemer

Our One True Friend

"I Love You, Lord!"

I Dearly Remember And Think On You!

I Bless You For Your Blessings Showered Upon Me!

I Am Drawing Near To You Today With Pleasure!

I Offer You My Prayers And My Praise Willingly!

I Worship You Who Gives Unto Me

Unfeigned Love 

Untold Blessing ... Seen And Unseen

Known And Unknown

And

Length Of Days ... Protected

In Your Safe And Sheltered Fold!?!"

I, Ah, Umm, ...!

What's The Problem!?!
You Were Very Chatty Before!
Cat Got Your Tongue!?!

Mum, It's Like, Well, This:
My Friends Say ...!

... Your "Friends" Say!?!
Are You Trying To Tell Me That
You Fear Your Friends' Word
Over The Living Word Of The Eternal God!?!

No, Ma'am!

That's Good
Because I'm Sure You Know The Proverb:

Yes, Ma'am!

Can Your Friends Keep You Alive!?!
Can Your Friends Feed You!?!
Can They Protect You From Satan And His Minions!?!
Can They Bless You With Everlasting Life!?!
Can They Give You Perfect Peace!?!
Can They Cause You To Rest Easy
In The Midst Of Daily Trials!?!

Mum, Those People At Church
Are A Bunch Of Hypocrites!

There's Always Room For One More!
Listen To Me Young Lady:

The Church Is An Hospital!
It Is A Place For People
- Damaged People -
To Congregate
To Study 
To Be Taught
To Praise And Worship
To Learn To Get Along With Those 
We Hope To Spend Eternity With
And
Get To Know More About
Him Who Is Our Only Salvation!

Vanessa, Do You Really Understand

What It Means To Fear God!?!

No, Not Really! 

It Does Not Mean To Be Afraid
But 
To Honor And Reverence Him
And
Give Him His Due 
His Praise
His Worship
Our Obedience
And
Our Trust
With Awe
With Respect And Willingness!
He Is Worthy Of Our Praise!

I Remember Well 
When You Were Younger
How Involved You Were In The Activities
And 
How You Used To Behave In Church!
Worshipping The Lord Was Important To You!
I Pray That It Still Is!

Oh, Mum!
I Really Used To Enjoy Going To Service
And Worshiping, Exalting, The Lord!

Do You Know That
Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship!

Do You Remember At The Start Of Divine Service
How Every One Stood Up
And
With Real Joy In The Lord
Recited The Fourth Commandment!?!

Yes, Mam!
It Was Really, Truly, Lovely!
I Guess, I Just Forgot ...!

... Aren't You Supposed To Remember!?!

I Love You, Sweetheart
And I Sincerely Pray That
You Will Take This Burden You Are Carrying
To Our Lord In Prayer!

Remember, Sweetie!
I Love You 
But
The Lord Loves You Best!
He Cares Sacrificially For You!

Thank You, Mum!
I Love You!
I Guess I Really Needed To Hear That ... Today!

Let Not Your Prayers

And

Your Worship

Become An Abomination

Before The Almighty God

Because

You Offered Them Begrudgingly

And

Selfishly!

THINK FOR YOURSELF: The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste!

Pray A Prayer For The Wisdom Of The Eternal God
And
Let Proverbs 24:3-4 Edify!

HAPPY SABBATH + Laboring For The Wind!?!

Clean Yuh Come
Had A Siamese Twin
Whose Name Is
Clean Yuh Shall-Go
AND
Between These Brethren
Their Task Was To Daily Tell
Laboring For DeWind
That His Life
IS
On All Points
A Car With An Engine That Doesn't Go!
That It Will Be At The Winner's Celebration
A Definite No Show!

Laboring For DeWind
Is A Pompous Donkey
AND
An Airs And Graces Parade Horse
Haughty Head Held High
Decorated Tail Swishing In The Air
Stepping Pun De Grecia!
(He Did Important). He Liked Everybody At Him To Look Around!

Problem ...

There Is Always A Problem!

Problem Is
He Thinks He Is Really Smartly Brilliant
BUT
He Truly Lacks Common Sense
Because
The More He Has
The More He Wants
AND
His Marriage To Peace N. Rest
Is Being Steadfastly Ripped Apart
Just Like His First Marriage
To Sleep N. Peace!

He Is An Obtusely Greedy Oinker!
AND
He Is Also A Studiously Presumptuous Puppy!
He Loves The Banquet 
AND
The Gluttonous Feast!

One Day ...

There Is Always A ... One Day!

It Was One Of Those Fair To Middling
Neither Hot Nor Cold
Neither Windy Nor Airless
Just About Right Days
When All Is Well
Grass Is Green
Bread Hot
Biscuits Crispy
Butter Smooth
Eyes Sorta Kinda Blinky
When Preacher Ecclesias Ticus
Paid An Unannounced
Unexpected
Unappreciated
Time For A Reality Check Visit
To Bigman DeWind
Who Was In His Counting House
Counting
AND
Gently
Oh, So, Gently
Massaging His Individual Stacks Of Money!

Laboring For DeWind's Favorite Saying Is:

Small Notes Suit Small People!

So There Was Not A Note Smaller Than A Twenty
In The Humongous Pile
AND
The Smile On His Face Was ... Well

Plainly Vile!

You Should Note That ...

When You Have More Head Than Brain
AND
Consider Lack Of Daily Monetary Gain
A Crime Against Conscience
AND
A Thing Sordidly
Egregiously
Profane
You Have Crossed The Pale!
You Have Raised Up The False God!
You Have Crossed Into Comeuppance Land
AND
You Are Headed For
House Built On Sinking Sand
Storm Coming
I'm Pedaling Fast
But My Feet Ain't Moving
Soul-Security Check!

Laboring For DeWind
Had The
"What Did God Ever Do For Me!" 
Clean Knocked Out Of Him!

He Cried Foul!
He Cursed The Big Billy Goat!
He Called For His Mama Gotta Virtue
BUT
At The End Of It All
He Didn't Have A Groat!

All He Had Was A Black Coat
With A Collar Made Of A Stoat!
He Lost His Big Able Boat
AND
He Had To Get Rid Off All
The Living-Large Luxuries
That Luck Is A Lady
Had Treacherously Rammed Down 
That Open Sepulchre That He Called His Throat!

It Was Not Pretty!
It Was Not Polished!
It Was Not A Performance!
It Was A Plain And Simple:

You Could Be Over And Done With

BUT

Your Cup Of Iniquity Is Not Yet Full

SO

The Appeal Of The Father

Is Here!

Thankfully
It Was Not The

"Your Life Is Done!"

Laboring For DeWind

Got The

"Look Here!

Take This Pencil

AND

Go Over Your Life!"

What Is The Total?! 

Check That Sum!

He Peed!
He Pooped!
He Fell And Knocked Out 
A Prized Diamond And Gold Tooth!
He Rolled On The Floor
AND
Winded ... Finally
Cried Out:

I Didn't Know There Was More!
Much More!

I Ate!
I Drank!
I Got ... More And More
AND NOW
Look At Me
At Death's Wide Open Gate Door!

He Was Shook! - Not Shaken!
He. Was. Shook!

Conclusion Of The Whole Matter ...

Fear God!
Don't Labor For The Wind!
You Can't Take "It" With You!
AND
Recognize That

The Living God Holy

Faithful Just Trust

Doesn't Do That Man-Thing Called
Negotiating!

Riches Are A Vanity!
Life ... However Long
Is Short
AND
When The Living God Says:

"Enough!" 

You Ain't Got Nuh Retort!

Bow Before God - He Made You!
Bend Before God - His Is Sovereign Will!
Take The Chastisements That He Graciously Sends You
AND
You Will Not Be A Drop
That Will The Lake Of Fire Fill!

You Are Not Your Own Property
To Do With Your Life As Your Vanity Wills
For
Simply Put
In The Great Day Of Accounts
Your Own Soul Will
Your Bad Record Spill!

Our Actions Provide The Ink
With Which The Recording Angel
Writes Our Permanent Record!
So, Be Careful
For Everything That We Do
The Good 

AND
The Evil
Will Be Written Down In That Record!

Don't Be A Dunce For A Rotting Dollar Bill! 

Give The Lord Christ Your Will
AND
Satan - In Your Life -
Will Have To Chill
AND

Keep To Himself
His Burnable Dollar Bills!

Call On The Lord Jesus

For Your Own Soul's Salvation

AND

The Holy Spirit

Will Your New Heart Fill!

Fear God!

Vice Is A Costly Indulgence
Oft' Brought To Our Door
By One Whom
With Us
Has That Thing Called Influence!
Its Effects Are Like Those Of 
A Great Pestilence
AND
The Cost To Repair The Damage
Is Often The Cost 
Spent In The Arena Of Those
Living The Life Of Affluence
AND
Then ... It  Can Cost The Life!
Even Eternal Life!

Vice Is Not Nice!
In Retrospect
It Is As Lice!
To Pick Them Up
Requires No Effort At All
BUT
To Get Rid Of Them
Requires Every Last Effort
Available For Use 
On The Blue Ball!

In The Call To Vice
Risqué Seems Nice!
To Maintain Vice
Risqué Needs Spice
AND
Pity The Person
Who Says:

Vice Is Just Play!

To Which I Say:

Ask God!

AND
Then Tell Me What He 
In His Living Word Doth Say!

Living Right
Requires Effort Every Day!
Living Like A Louse
Well ... Just Live
For
Anywhere Is Your House!

Let's Trust God For Our Living!
He Is Our Guardian
Our Guide
AND
Our Stay!
Let's Do What He Tells Us
AND
For Own Sin
There Is No Bill To Be Paid!

Living According To The Rules Of Vice
Is Living According To 
Satanic Device!
Doing That Makes Us
Friends Of The World
AND
Marks Us Boldly 
As An Enemies Of The Lord!

Vice Kills
The Mind
The Body
AND
The Spirit
Stone Cold!
The Thoughts Are Beclouded!
Just Ask Solomon Of Old
Who Used His Great Wisdom
To Explore Every Sense
BUT
It Left Him As A Man
Broken
Idolatrous
AND
At Body
AND
Also Great Spiritual National Expense!

But ... GOD

In His Mercy
Opened King Solomon's Eyes
AND
Solomon Repented
Of The Life Of Vice
Which Nearly Cost Him
Eternal Life
AND
As A Word Of Caution
To Those Who Him Walk Behind
That Preacher
King Solomon
Wrote The Book Of Ecclesiastes
As The Book Of Living Life Warnings!

All Is Vanity!
All Is Vanity
AND
A Vexation To The Spirit!
So Hear The Conclusion Of The Whole Matter
AND
Do Not Forget It:

Fear God

And

Keep His Commandments

For They Will 

- Indeed -

Preserve Your Life!

Everything We Do
God Brings Into Judgment!
Secret Things
Good Things 
AND
Evil Things
In This Mortal Strife!
God Is Watching 
AND
Keeping Records On You 
AND
Me, Too
So
This Is Worth Repeating: 

Fear God

And 

His Commandments Keep

For This Is Your Whole Duty

As Long As You Are Living!
