FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: The Meek And Gentle Spirit!

They Love To Say That They Have Talents
Capital "T" And "S" At The End

So There Is No Need For Them To Be Meek
And That They Do Not To Others
- In Humility -
Have To Bend!

Big Whoo Hoo!!

Well, I've Got Jesus!
Creator At The Beginning
Savior In The Middle
And 
Redeemer At The End!
My Soul Against Damnation
He Defends!

They Would Do Well 
To Look At Mary The Mother Of Jesus
Elizabeth The Mother Of John The Baptist
Sarah The Mother Of Isaac And The Shunamite Woman!

Look At The Woman At The Well! 

Look At Hannah, Prophet Samuel's Mum
And, Then Look Around You And Look At Us
And See The Arrogance, The Pride
The Willful Waywardness
The Desire For The Preeminence
The Desire To Rule
The Constant Butting Of Heads
Because
No One Wants To Be Second
No One Want To Follow
No One Wants To Serve
Because
They Just Want To Be Seen
And
To Do That Properly
They Are Creating Havok
Amongst The People Of God
And
Retarding The Work Of The Lord Christ!


Instead Of Blessing With Faithful Service
They Are Doing The Benighting Work Of Satan, The Liar
The Wannabe God!


We, As Committed, Christian, Women 
Need To Learn To Be Meek!

Men, Too!

We, As Committed, Christian, Women Need
The Savior's Will Daily To Seek! 

Men, Too!

We Need To Stop, Think 
And 
Turn Away From Folly
And
Once And For All Times Learn That

Competition Causes Compromise
That A Broken Tailbone Always Results
From The Prideful Fall
That The Higher A Monkey Climbs
The More His Unmentionables Are Exposed
That Disdain For The Simple
Always Causes One To Neglect The Prayer Phone
That What Sweetens The Goat's Mouth Often Burns Him In The Tail
That Being Humble Is Not Fatal

And
That Being Meek Doesn't Mean One Is A Failure!

We Need To Remember That The Master Was Meek
And
We Need To Constantly Remember His Whole Character
The Methods He Used
The Means
The Walk
The Wisdom
The Watching Unto Prayer
The Desire To Please His Father

And
His Ready Willingness
The Good News To All Hearers
Compassionately, Lovingly, To Share
And
Without Fear!


Our Gentle Jesus ... The Man Of Sorrow
Lord Of Earth And Sky And Sea
Willing Servant
Willing Sacrifice Pure And Clean
Served With Kingdom Purpose
And
Not To Be Seen!


The Lord Lived What He Taught:
Humility With Love
Sharing With Hope
Blessing With Promise
Untainted By Time
Untempted By Tests
Unbothered By Base Courseness
Willing To Uplift The Faceless
The Tasteless, The Tawdry
The Profaned
Willing To Bless Bountifully
The Blind, The Halt, The Lame
Willing To Cleanse The Careless
The Clueless, The Foolish

And
Always With A Kind Heart
A Pure Heart
A Firm Voice
To Lay Out Truth Unpopular 

To The Puffed Up, Prideful, Self-Aggrandized
But
So Very Needed And Necessary
For Those Who Have Seeking Hearts
Searching Eyes
Attuned-To-Truth Ears
To Uplift Them
To Save Them
And
Against The Great Day Of Small Things
Impregnably Seal!


Unrepentant Sinners Shall Be Seared!


The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Rules The World
For Good
For Ill
For Blessing
For Blight
For The Delight Of Satan
Or
For The Delight Of The Glorious One
Who Will Give To His Meek Ones

- On The Day Appointed -
The Earth Made New
And
Eternal Life!


Brethren,


I Am Sure Of Only One Thing:
It Is Time For Us To Change Into Gospel Shoes!

Being Meek Doesn't Mean
Being  A Door Mat
Nor A Mattress!
It Means Having The Character Of Christ
The Heart Of The Living, Holy God
Ever To Delight!


Being Meek Requires Faith's Pure Eyesight 
Which Gives Foresight
Which Negates The Need For Hindsight! 


Christ's Oversight Causes Us To Have Insight
Obviating The "Need" For Putrid Pride
Lost-Man Lust
And
Enervating Envy!
It's Time That We Cease From Wanting
With The Dying World To Be Trendy!


Indeed!
It Was Envy That Got Us Into This Mess 
In The First Place!

Thank God That Jesus Christ Saves!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH:18 For 2018 BUT ... What Of Revelation 18?!

Now Is The Time
To Ask ...



Is The Living Holy Eternal Faithful God
Now Become
A Fickle Lying Deceitful Man Of Flesh?!


The Speaker Was Bold!
His Tone Confidential!
He Is A Former Protestant
AND
Current Ecumenical Purveyor
Of Religious Equality
Announcing Himself A Prophet
Ordained By "God"
AND
Declaring The Pope Of Rome His Hero
AND
"Ordering" Down Fire From Heaven
For
"This Is The Time!"



18 For 18
Nine Fruit Of The Spirit
Nine Gifts Of The Spirit
The Outpouring Called 18 For 2018!




But ...

What Of Revelation 18 Of Bible King James?!
What Of Touch Not The Unclean Thing?!
What Of The Lord Jesus Christ Being Our Only King?!
What Of Almighty God Not Sharing His Glory 
  With Another Aka Man-As-God-On-Earth?!
What Of Thou Shalt Have No Other gods But The Eternal God?!
What Of Calling Sin What It Is?!
What Of Do Not Pray And Prey With Satan The Fraud?!
What Of, Specifically, 





What Of ...

Come Out From Among Them, My People!
Be Not Conformed To This World!
A Quiet And a Gentle Spirit
IS In Those Who Walk With Christ The Lord!
Come Out From Among Them, My People -
You Are Not Your Own!
Honor The God Of Creation
Who Did For Your Personal Sins
Did Atone!

Come Out From Among Them, My People!
Day Is Dying In The West!
REMEMBER!
Those Who Get To Walk Through The Gates Of Heaven
Are Those Who Keep
All Of The In-Stone Written
Finger-Pen Of The Living God Inscribed
Ten Commandments
Sealed Unchanging Unchangeable
AND
Who Have Confessed
AND
Repented Of All Known Sin
AND
Have Been Enduringly Faithfully
Trustfully Obedient
In Their Walk With Jesus Christ The Lord!

Trust Not Feelings!
Trust Not Your Eyes!
Lean Not On The Arm Of Fallen Man
Satan Is Working Tirelessly
To Deceive You With Comfortable Lies!

The Only "Born This Way!" That Holds Water
Is
Man Is Born In Sin
Man Is Shaped In Planned Sin i.e. Iniquity
AND
The Only Out That Man Has
Is The Omniscient Omnipotent Omnipresent God
Who Gives Finite Man Ending Time
To Turn To His Maker
His Savior
His Redeemer
His One God
His Only True Friend
AND
Say
I Am Sorry!
Forgive Me!
Please Give Me
Your Life
And That Without End!

A Spiritual Revival
Is On The Table!
Sadly
It Is Revival False
For
It Requires No Reformed Behavior
Because
It Is By The Devil's Hand Made!
Man Gets To Keep His Flaws!
Man Gets To Keep Flaunting God's Laws!  

Satan Can't Save Himself
So
How Can He Help A man-god Save You?!
Man As God Is A Delusion
Illumined
By That Wily Fiend
Guaranteed
To Make Man Clean In His Own Eyes
So That Satan Can Indulge Obscene Laughter
As He Points As You!

Brethren,
The Saints Of God
Are Called To Be Wise As Serpents
BUT
Harmless as Doves
Walking Sedately
Before The God Of Love!

Be Instant Constant
Praying Without Ceasing!
AND
To Christ Ever True
For
That "Bright Light"
To Earth Falling
By Wicked Men Doing The Calling
Is Guaranteed On Your Soul
To Place Eternal Soiling!





The Spirit In These "Holy" Men
Is The Spirit Appalling!

The Eye Is The Window Of The Soul!
If The Eye Be Dark
The Whole Body Is Dark
AND
If Lucre Is Your Soap
Then Your "Righteous" Clothing Is Dirty
AND
It Will Never Get Cleaned
By That Unholy Spirit-Soaking
Being Raised Up By Known Sin's Promoting!



Do You Know
- Really Know -
Jesus Christ
The One God
Holy Just And Ever True?!

If You Say You Do
THEN YOU KNOW THAT



A Known Proud Idol-Worshipper
Can Never
Will Never
Point You
Direct You
Lead You
Or
Anybody
To The Holy Living
Eternal God Of Creation
The True God
Of
The Unbesmirched
Fourth Commandment!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Encumbering The Ground!? + PRAYER: Lord, Please Do Not Cast Me Out!






I Came Upon A Tree One Day
In The Beautiful Garden Of God!
It Was Lush And Large
For It Had Been There For A Great While
AND
I Thought To Linger There
To Contemplate The Word
AND
To Pray To The Living God
The One Who Gave Me My Smile!

I Sat Contented
BUT THENI Noted Something Strange!
All The Other Trees Bore Fruit
Save The One Under Which I Sat
AND
Truth Be Told
That Made Me Rock Back ...!

An Unfruitful Tree?!
In The Garden Of God?!
That Is An Impossibility! 
Could This Be
An Encumberer Of The Ground?!


I Got Up From There Quickly
All The While Talking With The Lord
Within Myself
AND
Trusting The Word Of The Living Book Of Life
Took Thought Of What I
- For The Kingdom -
Was Doing Myself
To Redeem The Time
AND
Recognize That The Days Were Evil
AND
That I Worked For The Divine!

I Was Pulled Up
- Real Short -
By A Sharp Jabbing Pain
That Afflicted My Heart
AND
Made Me In Exclamation
Pray:

Father,
Forgive Me!
Please Give Me Another Chance!
Please Till My Soil
And Manure Me
And
Let Me ... Cherished
Grow In Grace
Just For A Little While
So That In The Harvest
I Shall Bear Good Fruit
Perhaps 30 Fold
60 
Even 100 Fold! 


You, Lord
Know The Truth!

I Am Willing - Work On Me! 
I Am Willing - Pass Me The Crucible Through! 
Keep Me Faithful - I Am Pleading! 
Bless Me, Lord God Almighty
So That I May Bless The Living Kingdom
By Laboring To Bless Others
And
Bless You!


Forgive Me, Lord
For Celebrating
All The Wrong That I Did Not Commit
All The While As I Was Neglecting
Doing The Good Required Of Me - 
I Should Have Been Laboring
As One Truly Faithful
Provisioned By Your Grace!


Please, Lord
Do Not Dismiss Me
Casting Me Out
As An Emcumberer Of The Ground! 
Please Fit Me For Your Service
For
I Desire In The Living Kingdom
To Be Found!


I Love You, Lord!
I Need You!
I Seek You, Lord
In Godly Fear!
I Desire To Be Your Fruitful Tree
So
Prepare My Heart, Lord
For
For Your Faithful People
I Do Dearly Care!

I Yield Myself, Lord
 To Your Heavenly Care!


The Heavenly Gardener
Turned The Sod At My Feet!
The Son Shone Light In My Heart!
The Holy Spirit Rained Down Upon Me
AND
The Angels Kept The Sin-Bugs Away
AND
Soon
Soon I Knew
That In Me
There Was Good Fruit A-Growing
For
I Could Feel Those Blossoms Poking Through!
Ouch!            Ouch!            Oww!

Time Flies ...

The Day Of Harvest
Is Mere Moments Away
AND
Only Then Will I Know
My Tally Of Production
BUT
Whatever It Is
Of A Surety I Know
That I Am Not A Tree
Marked
For Damnation's Destruction!

Take Heed To Yourselves
All Ye That Are Trees
In The Beautiful Garden Of God!
God Almighty Expects A Good Harvest
From One And From All
AND
It Is He That Knows Of Each Tree The Amount
So
Heed The Call
ANDDo Your Duty
AND
Bear Good Fruit
AND
Leave It To The Living God
To Declare In The Harvest Celebration
Your Just 
AND
True 
Good Produce Count!

Get Your Strength
From
Jesus Christ
The One Righteous
The Blessed Blessing Fount!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Christian Frogge




There Was Nice Christian Named Frogge
Who Maintained Record Of His Church Life In A Log
He Considered Himself A Great Champion For God
Right There
In Belief Land Creeks And Bogs!

Life Was Good!
Health Was Good!
AND
Since He Had Very Few Chores
He Had Time To Visit The Neighbors 
All Around
AND
Up And Down
Along The Shore!

It Must Be Said
That It Was Because Of These Visits
Door To Door
That He Came To Suspect
That His Simple Church Life
Was Nothing But A Flaming Great Bore!

Christian Frogge 
During His Last Visit
Church Door To Church Door
Caught a Glimpse
A Chance To See
The New Worship
That Was Capturing Everybody!

The New Worship
Was Loud
Exciting
Filled With Broadway Lights
AND
Even Had Something Called
"Test!"
To Test Your Strength Of Will
AND
Your Belief
In The Power And Working Of Almighty God!

NOW ...

Christian Frogge Thought To Himself:

Why Not?!
I Trust In God
So Why Not Show
What I've Got?!
My God Is Real!
His Power Cannot Fail
So When The Church Hot 
Holds Their Next Convocation
I Am Going To Throw In My Lot!

NOW ...

It Must Be Said
That Talk Was Real Hot Around De Town
About The Peddler
The Piper
AND
The Restaurant Chef
Who Were The Powers Behind
The Experiencing God Church!

It Was Said ...

GOSSIP ALERT!!

That Wherever They Opened A Church
Ahem ... Restaurant ...
Cough!
Cough!
The Population In The Particular Bog
Took A Tumbling Fall!

Another NOW Coming Up!

NOW ...

Christian Frogge Had An Aunty Named Pammy
Who Had Been Known
Upon Occasion
To Get Somewhat Scrap Happy!
She Was Old
Because She Was Wise!
She Had Lived Long
Because She Checked The Old Record Book
Which Detailed D. Devil Ish's Deceptions
To Get Meat
For He 5-Star Fr. Ogge Leg Pies!

Aunty Pammy Didn't Hold She Mout'!
She Preach She Sermon
AND
She Let De Trut' Hang Out
AND
Christian Frogge's Long Tongue
Was Stuck Inside
After Hanging Outside
He Big Mout'!

To Ram Home The Truth
Of Her Not Tall Tale
Aunty Pammy Took Christian
To A Beautiful Lily Pad Glade
Owned And Operated
By Detective Angela aka "Angel" Slade
Who Was Tasked With The Task
Of Being The Bogs' Looking Glass
To Warn The Frogge's
When D. Devil Ish
Is On The War Path!

The Schtick That D. Devil Ish Used
Was As Old As Time!
It Held Not A Single Thing New!
He Knew The Frogge People's Greed
AND
He Was Au Fait With Their Cherished Creed!

D. Devil Ish 
Always Told
How He Could Fix Needs
AND
He Offered Something For Nothing
A Light Show
AND
An Experience Like No Other
IF
You Willingly Put Your Toes
In The Soothing Cold Water
In The Vat
Over The Hollow
Operated By Steam-Punk Catattack
A Well-Known Wicked And Shallow Fellow!

With Great Authority
Detective Angel Slade
Takes Up The Tale:

Pied Piper Peter Plays
A Soul-Mesmerizing Tune!

The Peddler
Preaches
About A Cure
For All That Assails
AND
He Offers Up A Solution
That He Says
Can In No Way
Ever Fail!

A Signal Is Transmitted
AND
On Cue
Pied Piper Peter Plays
An Even More Enthrallingly Mesmerizing Tune
AND
Locked Up In The Power
People Like
Ceedee Christian
Whatta Christian
Fansi Christian
Christian N. Deed
AND
Itsa Christian
The Old Stalwarts
Found Their Back Legs
Pushing Off!

Plop!
In The Pot Vat!
The Chef De Partie Donned His Hat!
AND
The Peddler Preacher Feign Kept Selling
Preaching:

This Way Be The Spice
That Ends Your Shallow Existence!

As That Pied Piper Peter
His Thrilling Music Played
Smoke Came Out!
Smoke From Under The Vat Rose Up!
Light Struck Previously Unseen Mirrors!
Anticipating Hearts Thumped
AND
The Party Chef
The Chef De Partie
Tossed Mixed Salts In The Cold Water
AND
A Handful Of Black Pepper 
Woosh!
Up In The Air!

Achoo! Achoo!
Achoo! Achoo Times Two!
Splash!
Bums Up!
Heads Down In Water
Clearing Noses
Washing Eyes
Up For A Breath
AND
Still
Peddlar Preacher Feign Sold His Wares
As Pied Piper Peter Posing Prettily Prettily Played:

Prove Your Faith!
Do Your Battle
Even If Fire Burns At Your Feet!
Win A Victory!
By God
If Your Legs Don't Work
Cut Them Off!
The New Ones To You
Will Be At No Cost!

Bring The Knives!
Play That Mellow Music, Piper!
Keep These Frogge's Looking Alive!

This Is Your Big Test Of Faith!
Remember The Good Book Says
If Your Legs Offend You
READYYYY FOR IT?!
Cut Them OFF!!

It Is Better To Enter The Kingdom 
Maimed
Than To Stand Before God
Whole And Ashamed!

... And That 
Christain Frogge
Is Why You See
These Exhibits Here Box-Framed
As A Cautionary Tale
Not To Follow The Multitude
Purportedly To Test God
AND
Yet And Still Ending Up
Dying In Shame
Robbed Of Your Legs
Your Transport Engine Of Escape!

Cold Water Soothes!
Warm Water Relaxes!
Hot Water Burns!
AND
Boiling Water Kills!

Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold
AND
Things That Seem Wonderfully Thrilling
Can Will Rob You Of Your Very Own Soul!

Trust God At His Word!
Don't Look To The Gospel For Cheap Thrills!
Learn Of 
AND
Know That Truth Completely Fills
AND
Stop Harkening To The Siren's Song
That Assuredly The Carnal Soul Fills!

The Devil
- That Murderer -
Is The Liar
Looking For A Choir Of Voices
To Sing His Rebellious i-Tune!
He Knows That Time Is Late
So Bate And Switch
Is How He Gets Choir Members
To Share His Known Fate!

Take The Time
To Personally Know The Lord
AND
Learn How The Devil 
- Through Deception -
Operates
So That When He Shows Up
He Can't Slow You Up
With Pied Piper Songs
Turning Your Head From God
So That Into Damnation
You'll Fall Headlong!


The Noisy
Shiny
Pretty
Soul-Exciting
Emotional Displays
Of
The Dance-Hall Church
Do Not Make
For A Christ-Committed Christian!

We Are CALLED OUT!!

*********

A Quiet Spirit
Ordered Behavior
Clear Eyes
Steady Legs
Heart Contrite For The Living God
Complete Knowledge Of The Plain Truth
Faith Outside Of Sight
Hope For Heaven
Trust In The Unseen Ever-Present God
And 
A Head Ready To Reason
With The Holy God
Help A Christian To Stay Resolute
So ...
Be Still 
In The Presence Of The Lord
In The Simple Ark Of Safety!
