Forgive Us, Lord, As We Forgive Others!?!

Everybody Loves The Lord's Prayer

And 

Blithely Repeat It 

Without Pausing To Think About The Words 

"Forgive Us ... As We Forgive ...!" 

We Love To Talk About 

"Do Fuh Do!" 

When We Are The Doer 

And 

Foolishly Forget That 

We Are In Debt To Almighty God

Because 

We Have Trespassed 

Aka Gone Where We Should Not 

Aka Committed Sin Against His Holiness! 

We, All, Are Treading On Dangerous Ground 

When We Pray For Forgiveness 

And

Walk Around Holding Grudges Against People

- Be They Friends, Family Or Foes - 

While Daringly Saying: 

"I Will Never Forgive Them!" 

Beloved, 

Are You The True And Living Holy God Of Grace And Mercy!?! 

Do You Hold Life And Eternity In Your Hand!?! 

If Your Answer Is 

"No!" 

I Beseech Us All To Back-Back To Go Forward! 

The Lord Jesus Christ

Immediately After Teaching His Disciples 

How To Pray 

Then Warned Them Graphically 

About The Content Of Their Prayers 

And 

Their Attitude! 

To Err Is Human: 

To Forgive Is Divine! 

We Who Desire The Lord's Forgiveness 

For Our Sins Against Him 

Must First

Forgive Those 

"Who Done Did Us Wrong!" 

Let Us, Therefore

Be Obedient So That 

We Shall Be Blessed Of Our God! 

By Faith

In Truth

For The Love Of God

Dare To Extend Your Hand In Fellowship

Even If It Figuratively Gets Chopped Off! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory 

Reads Hearts 

And

He Promises New Life And New Bodies! 

Do Right! 

Eternal Blessings Await The Obedient Enduring Faithful!

Peace

Is

Like The River Glorious!

HAPPY SABBATH + Jesus Christ Always Saves So .... Always Pray!

  

I Had A Good Feeling: 

It Was A Lie!

I Had Listened To My Deceitful Heart: 

It Made Me Cry!

In Agony Of Despair

I Turned Back To The Word That Always Saves

And

Then I Listened As Jesus Christ Spoke

And

Afterwards, I Sincerely Prayed:

PRAYER:

Our Father In Heaven,

King Of Glory Supreme

Pity Me A Poor Student

A Lazy Worker

A Child Who Away From Your Holy Hand

Did Lawlessly Lean!

Please Forgive Me And Clean Me

Clothe Me

Dress Me

And

Bless Me

For I Confess My Sin Of Presumption

And

Accept With Contrite Heart

That In Your Presence I Am The Least! 

I Repent, Lord, For Greedily Indulging

In The Disobedience Feast!

Feelings Do Not My Soul Sanctify

And

Walking As One Self-Willed

Always Makes Me Cry

So, In The Name Of My Jesus

Who Lowered Himself

To Lift Me Up To You

Forgive Me, I Beseech

And

Make Me Anew!

I Need You, Father

And

I Am Glad!

Please Help Me To Remain Faithful

For Sinning Makes Me Miserable

And

Makes My Dear Savior So Very Sad!

 

I Desire To Be Like My Jesus

So I Plead For The Holy Spirit

To Descend Upon Me And Indwell Me

For Truly, Father, I Yield My Will:

May The Sweet Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth

My Longing, Aching, Hungry, Heart

Truly, Thoroughly, In Time

And

For Eternity

Please Fill!

Thank You For Hearing

And

Answering Prayer

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, I Plead! 

AMEN!

NEED Versus WANT: Christ And Chocolate

 

If We Don't Call Upon The Lord By Praying

He Cannot Answer Us! 

If We Do Not Ask For Forgiveness For Known Sin By Confession 

And

Repentance

The Lord ... God Almighty ... Cannot Forgive Us Our Sins 

And 

Cleanse Us From All Of Our Known Acts Of Unrighteousness! 

The Lord Instructs Us To Ask Of Him 

To Receive From Him: 

Don't Be Proud And Foolish! 

Beloved, 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 

And

Salvation Is For Us Who Know 

And 

Readily Acknowledge That 

We Are Sinners Needing Saving: 

Never Mix Up Your Needs For Your Wants! 

Know The Right ...

We Need Christ! 

We Want Chocolate! 

We Need Faith And Forgiveness! 

We Want Fame And Fortune! 

We Need To Speak Truth And Exhibit Trust! 

We Want Toys And Trinkets! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

The Lord Desires Us To Come Home To Him

 By Walking In The Light 

And 

Doing The Good 

And  

The Right

Because

It Is Right! 

Let Us, Therefore, Rejoice That Our Jesus Christ 

Is 

King Forever 

And 

Dare To Trust The Living Word 

And 

Fall Upon The Mercy That Is Offered To Us Free 

And 

Bask In The Grace, Freely Given, That 

Is 

Available, Sufficient 

And 

Enough ... Today

For All Of Our Needs! 

Let's Take All That Concerns Us To Our Blessed Lord Jesus

In Heartfelt Prayer

In Faith

For Love 

With Hope:

Remember To Give Him Your Thanks And Praise As Well! 

Peace

Is Not

A Merchantable Commodity!

Peace

Is

The Free Gift

Known Freely-Given To Us

By

Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace

The Light Of The World

The Certain Hope

Of

Every Man, Woman And Child!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JESUS' PEACE IS PERFECT: Live With Hope!

We Are Humans Created In The Image 

And 

Likeness Of Almighty God

And 

We Have Been 
And 
Are Daily Blessed With The Precious Gift Of Faith 

Which Brings With It That Dearest Of Companions
Hope

Which, With Malice, Boldly Kills Fear 
Which Burdens Our Lives With Unbearable Care! 

The Hope Of Faith 
Gives To Every Heart The Capacity To Perform Feats Of Daring! 

It Gives Strength To The Sick And Suffering To Carry On! 

It Makes The Weak Heart Strong To Joyfully Sing In The Storm Of Life! 

It Makes Cloudy Eyesight Sharp! 

It Makes Timid People Brave 

And

It Urges The Child
- Desirous Of Getting Home To The Father's House -

Into The Fountain Filled With Blood In Pursuit Of Forgiveness 

And 

To Get Thoroughly Clean! 

We Cannot Be True Children Of God 
When We Deliberately Choose To Host The Pity Party 

Where The Feast
Is
Bread Of Despair 
Accompanied By A Vintage Bottle Of Whine! 

Beloved, 

From The Hand Of God To Us Hope Springs Eternal! 

Let No One Put Your Hope Out To Pasture 

Because In So Doing

You Shall Surely Be Courting The Spiritual Disaster! 

Strengthen The Weak Knees ...

Let Hope In Jesus Float Your Sinking Boat 

And 

Extinguish All The Fires Of Adversity In Your Life! 

Trust God! 

Be Confident In Christ! 

Rely On The Holy Spirit
And

Live With Hope! 

Jesus' Peace Is Perfect!

Mercy ... For Me And Thee!

The First Facet Of Almighty God's Character 
As Revealed To Moses
As He Abode Safely In The Cleft Of The Rock 
Secured By God's Own Hand
Was Mercy! 

Just So You Know
Mercy Includes Loving-Kindness
Grace, Compassion
And 
Forgiveness
And 
No Human Born Of A Woman Has Any Right 
To The Great And Known-Immense
Known-Infinite Mercy Of The Eternal God! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Gift Freely Given To Us Bold, Brash Sinners 
Who Deserve God's Justice! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
We Cry Out To The Lord To Hear Our Prayers 
And 
We Ask Him To Also Have Mercy On Us! 

Also Is Interesting In That It Means That 
We Have Hope ... Expectation ... That 
This Great God Will Add The Blessing Sought 
Because 
He Is Well Able! 

Be Wise ...

There Is The Day Coming 
When All Who Refuse The Free Gift Of Mercy-Now 
Will Plead For Mercy-Then 
But
Almighty God's Justice
Unmixed With Almighty God's Mercy
Will Be Thoroughly Poured Out! 

Soooo ...

Let's Not Be Amongst Those 
Who Know Not The Lord Christ ... The Truth,
Who Made Peace With The Father For Us 
So That We May Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving 
And 
His Courts With Joy-Filled Praise! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Rare Quality Which 
Is 
Found Only In Our God Almighty
Mighty To Save Us! 

Be Ye Armed And Thrilled ...

Humble Yourself And Pray
And 
Also Plead For The Forgiving God's Free Mercy 
To Bountifully Rest Upon You Today!  
Peace With Almighty God Is Free!

HAPPY SABBATH + COMPLETELY FORGIVEN: Holy Gladness ... Holy Boldness!

The Works Of The Lord Are Infinite! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Are Infinite! 
The Love Of The Lord Is Infinite
And

We Are The Crowning Work Of The Creations Of The Lord

Infinitely Blessed 

And 

Infinitely Loved! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Lord! 

We Sinned Against His Holiness 

And

He Chose To Die To Save Us

Because 
He Is Love Divine
And
Has Infinite Love For Each And Every One Of Us! 

We Are Precious In His Holy Sight
And

We Have His Guaranteed Gift Of Forgiveness 
Available ... Just For The Asking! 

Beloved, 

Since We Are Forgiven By Asking

Shouldn't We ... Completely Forgiven

Be Living With Holy Gladness 
Impossible To Be Destroyed By Time, Terror
Situation Or Circumstance!?! 

Shouldn't We ... Forgiven

And

Cleansed

Approach The Lord's Throne Of Grace With Holy Boldness

The Love Of God

Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Is Not
Delivered On A Curve
According To How Few Sins
We Daily Commit!

Jesus Christ Loves Us Each

As If We Are
The Only Human Alive
That
He Sacrificially Desires
To Personally Save!

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

Remember Your Value!

You Are Valuable

Because

The King Of Love

The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Savior Of Every Man

The Redeemer Of Mankind

The God Of Grace

The God Of Glory

The Creator God
God Almighty ... Mighty To Save

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

All-Feeling

Says

You Are Valuable!
Live Like You Know And Believe It!

HAPPY SABBATH + GIVE AND FORGIVE: Forgiveness Is Divine!

Be Careful How And What You Pray!

Praying The Promises Of God Is Not Truth Or Dare!

The Lord's Word Is The Same To One And All

All Mankind Aka The Children Of The Fall!

Some Of Us Believe That Because We Name The Name

We Are Exempt From What The Lord Clearly Says And Means

But

I Will Charge Us One And All

Do Not Act Like Satan

Who Believed That He Could "Help" The Lord

Who Because He Was In Man-Flesh

Had To Humble Himself Before His Own Creation

And 

Let Satan Do 

What Satan Wanted To Do!
Don't Join The Devil's Damned-For-Eternity Crew
Because
It. Is. A. Fatal. Mistake.

The Lord Of Life Gave Unto Us The Model Prayer ... For A Reason

So Pay Close Attention!

He Did Not Give Us The Prayer

So That He Could See His Words In Print!

He Gave Us The Prayer

So That We, Being Wise, Will Live With Intention!

Give ... And Forgive ...

Matthew 6:9-13

We Were All Taught The Lord's Prayer As Little Children 

And 

Many Of Us Still Faithfully Repeat That Prayer ... Thoughtlessly ... 

Without Recognizing How We Damn Our Own Selves With The Words 

"Forgive Us As We Forgive Others!" 

Many Of Us Walk Around Holding Malice In Our Hearts 

Even Willing To Broadcast To The World That 

We'd Rather Die Than 
Forgive Someone Who Did Something Some Time Ago! 

Beloved, 

To Err Is Human! 

To Forgive Is Divine 

And

We Who Say That We Are Christ's Followers 

Are Never More Like Him Than When We Forgive Others 

Their Small Transgressions Against Us! 

Jesus Forgave Our Big Sin Against His Holiness 

And

We Must Forgive Others Their Sin Against Us! 

If We Don't Forgive Others

We Commit Blasphemy 

Because 

We Are Taking The Place Of Almighty God! 

We Are Not Better Than The Lord

And 

The Spirit Of Unforgiveness

- A Satanic Spirit - 

Kills The Soul Who Cultivates It! 

With New Hearts

Let's Remember That We Desire Forgiveness From The Lord Of Life

And 

Consider The Charge ... The Warning

That He Has Given To Us: 

"Forgive Others

AND

I Will Forgive YOU!" 

Which Translates Into 

"I Will Forgive You

HOW

You Forgive Them!" 

Do Fuh Do Ain't Obeah Aka Witchcraft: 
It Is The Gospel Truth! 

Let Us Be Wise: 

Practice Forgiveness To Be Blessed

And 

Forever Saved! 
Remembe That We Are Trying To Be Like Jesus!

The Father ... To Forgive Us

Gave Us His Son

Who Gave Up His Life

And

Died To Give Us Eternal Life!

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

Forgiveness Saves!

Sin ... And Forgiveness!

Think Deeply About This ...

He Who Had No Sin Became Sin ... For Us!

He Who Is Alive Forever

Died To Give Life To Us

Who Are Dead In Sin And Trespasses!

The Question Is:

How Do We Make The Connection 
To Make The Transaction Real!?! 

Jesus Christ Make The Infinite Deposit

In The Bank Of Eternity: 

We Are Mortal Men, Sinners, Who Live In Time! 

How Are We Going To Make The Needful Withdrawal

So That We May Have Our Necessary Food

And

Directions
Travelling Mercies

Transportation Expenses

Shelter
Protection! 

How Do We Get From Present Living For Hell

To Living To Arrive At The Future Heavenly Home

When There Is Gulf Fixed Betwixt The Two!?!

Lest We Tremble And Fear In Despair 

Let's Remember Jacob's Ladder

The Bridge Between Earth And Glory

The Cross-Bar On The Cross Of Christ

The Benediction Aka It Is Finished

Which Capped The Upper Room Prayer Of Consecration:

Where I Am

There Shall Also My Servants Be! 

Brethren,

We Have A Job Of Work To Do

So Let's Get To Stepping
Because
There Is No Sinner Going To Be Where Jesus Christ Is!
We've Got A House-Cleaning To Accomplish!

All Lawlessness Is Sin! 

All Humans Are Sinners! 

Some Sins Are Natural 
Because 
We Are Born With The Inclination To Sin! 
Some Sins Are Cultivated! 

Some Sins Are Marked As 
Going Where You Shouldn't Go Aka Transgressions

And 

Other Sins Are Called iniquity Aka Planned Sins! 

All Sins Are Forgiven 

... If We Confess ... 

Except For The Sin Of Blasphemy 
Against The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Second Death! 

Forgiveness Is Free!

The Only Person 
Who Doesn't Need Forgiveness For Known Sin 
Is 
Almighty God! 

The Sins That We Do Not Confess Cannot Be Forgiven 

And 

Stay On The Books Of Remembrance In Heaven! 

The Sins That We Humbly Confess 
And 

Repent Aka Turn Away From

Are Cast Into The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Never To Be Recalled!

Make The Days Of Your Life Count!

 

Beloved,

We Cannot Climb The Ladder

Cross The Bridge

Escape Time

Or Enter Eternity With The Stench Of 
The Load Of Sin Attached To Our Persons! 

No Escaping The Facts ... 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed Daily

So Let's Make It A Habit 
To Confess Are Repent Of Our Sins Daily 

Because 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Of Us

Our Name Is Not Jesus Christ

And 

Our Tongues Are Not Bibles 
Aka The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Believe The Living Word

Accept And Gratefully Use Our Gift Of Forgiveness

And 

Be At Peace With And In Our Savior 
And 

Coming King

Jesus Christ The Lord!
Soon, Very Soon, The Last Trumpet Will Sound!

Dead Men

Can't Praise Almighty God

And

Can't Ask

For Forgiveness!
