PRAYER: Lord Jesus, Plead For Me!

In The Hour Of My Trial

Lord Jesus

Plead For Me

For By My Confession And Repentance

You Have From Known Sin Set Me Free!

Keep Me From The Sin Of Presumption

From Daring God To Protect Me

When I Deliberately Walk

In Known Wrong Ways

And

Bless Me, Lord

With Clear Eyesight 

So That I May See Only You

And

Enduringly Continue In The Good Faith-Fight!

Help Me, Lord

To Walk Uprightly

Turning Neither To The Left Nor The Right

And

Keep Me In The Knowledge

That Walking In Your Wisdom

Brings Me Neither Sorrow Nor Blight!

Keep Me Thankful, Lord 

I Humbly Beseech You

For You Alone Do Bless

And

Please Bless Me To Bless You

By Telling Another The Good News

So That They 

Convinced

May Reach Out To Your Waiting 

Extended Hand

And

By So Doing

Be Also Wonderfully Gloriously Blessed!

I Ask You To Remember The Brethren

Who Call Upon Your Name

In Hopeful Loving Trust!

Grant Them Your Grace

And

Protect Them

As They The Adversary Face!

Please Keep Them From Making

Shipwreck Of Living Faith!

You Are The Living God Faithful! 

You Are The Holy God True! 

You Have No Need Of Man For Conveyance

For It Is You Who Carry All Men

Be They Faithful Grateful 

Or Faithless

And

Deceitfully Ask Boldly

Blindly:

Who Are ... Why Should I Know ... You?!

Pity Us In Our Folly!

Cleanse Us From Our Shame!

Please Continue To Teach Us

The Way Of And To Life

And

Bless Us

To Acknowledge Our Need Of Our Savior 

So That By Your Available Mercy

And

Great Grace

We Will Survive The Coming Strife!

Remember Your Promise

That All Things Will Work Together

For Our Good

Because We Do Lovingly Think On

And

Daily Hourly

Moment By Moment

With Thanksgiving

Remember Thee!

AMEN.

WAR!

The Enemy Of The Soul

 Is Ever

On The Battle Field!

The People Of God
- Amongst Whom Were
The Fearful
The Unbelieving
The Unwilling To Face Danger
AND
The Unwilling To Face Hardship -

Were Called Upon To Wage War!

All Answering

Had Willingly Answered The Call
BUT
The Eternal God Saw That 

They Were Too Many!

Many Were Filled With Self-Pride
AND
Real Doubt
AND
Would Not To The Army Add Strength
So God Almighty 

The All-Seeing God

The All-Knowing God

The Ever-Present God

- By Trial -

Weeded Them Out!

32,000 Men Had Answered The Call
BUT
- Not Even A Tithe -
Only A Remnant
Showed Their Battle-Readiness
Their Faith
Their Vigilance
AND
Were Chosen
By The Great God Himself
To Take To The Field Of Battle
On That Momentous Day!

The Chosen 

- 300 -

Were
Men Of Faith
Men Of Courage
Men Who Did Not - In Idolatry - Bend The Knee
Men Who Did Not
In Time Of Danger
Seek After Satisfaction
For Their Personal Need!

These Were Men Who Could Be Trusted
In Any Emergency!

They Were The Faithful
The Few
The Chosen
Who Trusted In God
AND
They Were Men Of Prayer!

They Were Men Who Could Be Used
AND

Who Could Be Directed!
These Were The Ones
Who Were Set Apart!

These Men Chosen Were True Men Of Character!

For God  ...They Had The Heart!

Everyone Else Was Sent Home
For The Battle
AND
The Victory 

Were To Be God's!
God's Alone!

Each Chosen Man
Was Given A Trumpet
AND
A Torch
Hidden In A Clay Pot
AND
Truth Be Told

This Is Pertinent To Us Today ...

Man Is A Clay Pot
In Whom
- IF WILLING -
Is Found
The Light Of The Light Of Life
AND
The Trumpet Of God
AND
Those Who Are Faithful

AND
Willing To Be Used Of The Lord
Will
- Through Jesus Christ -
Break Out Of Sin
AND
Let Their Lights Shine
AND
Let Their Voices Sound The Trumpet Call Of
The Present Truth
For
This Dying World
So That Listening Men
- Harkening To The Truth -
Will Not For Their Own Sin
Have To Pay!

That Will Be The Win-Win!

These 300 Men
Were Divided Into Three Groups
Coming From Three Directions
Which ... I Shall Say
Speak For
The Father God Ever Before Us
Jesus Christ Interceding For Us
AND
The Holy Spirit
- Unseen -
Working In The Darkness
Teaching Helping Comforting Chiding Us
So That We Will Assay
To Do The Right
AND
Walk
The Straight And Narrow Way!

This Is Not Play-Play!

What Do YOU For Your Self Say?!

Brethren,

It Requires Blind-Eyed Faith

Full Surrender

AND

Willful Obedience

To Be A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord Christ!

Where Do You Stand?!

How Will YOU Stand?!

Will You Stand?!

Will You Trust In The Coming Son Of God

The Savior Of Man?!

I Beseech You

Take The Proffered Hand

Trust The Man

And  ... Valiantly Fight

For Truth

And In The Great Day

Victoriously Stand!

War Against God's Truth Is Being Waged!

Are You Geared

For The Spiritual Fight?

Will You Stand In The Breaches?

Will You Stand

Against Carnal Flesh

And ... Valiantly Fight?
