THE FORMULA: The Struggle Of The Christian

Brethren,

This Is How The Formula
For The Struggle Of The Christian Goes:

Sense Aka What I Feel 

Versus Faith Aka What I Daily Receive, Have And Exercise

And
Fear Aka Ungodly Fear

Versus Hope Aka The Lord Is My Portion Saith My Soul

Therefore Will I Trust In Him! 

The Blessed Assurance!

What The Christian Often Does ...

He Complains To The Lord About His  Present Conditions

And Then 

He Remembers Whose Child He Is
And
He Immediately Comforts Himself 
Regarding His Future Estate

And

Life Being What It Is
He Recycles, Rinses, And Re-Uses
His Complaints And His Comforts 
- We Need To Study About The Prophet Jeremiah -

And Ultimately

Watching, Waiting, Faith That 
Works Because Of Love ... Wins!

The Facts Remain ... 

I Am ... You Are ... A Christian!
We Are Christians
And
I Pray To The Father That That Is
 By Name And By Nature!

Let's Make This Really Personal!

I Have Personal Experience!

I Know The Lord!

He Hears ... And Answers ... My Prayers
And

I've Seen His Hand Work In The Lives Of Others!

The Father Is Faithful

And He Has Promised ... In Blood

Never To Leave You Nor Forsake You!

The Lord God Almighty Says:

 Pray!

Trust!

Believe!

Be Obedient!

Endure ... To The End!

Even In The Low Dungeon ... That Place Of Despair

With No Lower Place To Descend To Than Death

I Will Raise My Voice In ... Lamentation

Then A Psalm Of Praise

And

Then I Will Share The Wisdom 
Found In Isaiah 41: 10, 13, 14

Because 
I Have Living Experience

And

I Will Rest In The Song Of Solomon 

And 
In The Book Of Daniel The Prophet
And
In The Revelation Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
By The Hand Of Apostle John The Aged!

In Short
We Are To Recognize And Know That We Have A Future!

Indeed!
I Know That I Have An Expected End
And
So Do All Of Us Who Choose To Accept The Promise!

The Father  ... By The Master

Has Promised All His People

A Prepared Home In Glory Land!

My God Is Omniscient!

My God Hears All!

My God Sees All!

My God Knows All!
My God Is In All!

My God Judges All

But 
As For Me

Because I Trust In Him ... In His Living Word

Because I Claim ... Believe ... The Promises

Because I Know His Hand

Of Love

Of Chastisement

Of Correction

Of Protection

Of Direction

Of Providence

Of Blessing ... For Confession Of Sin

For Repentance For Known Sin

For Choosing Him As My Everlasting Portion

Who Knew Me Before I Was

Who Ordained My Position

Who Called Me To His Side

He Shall Be ... He Is ... My King

My Lord, My God, My Hope, My Help

My Salvation 

My Redeemer

And

I Shall Press On To The Mark

To My High Calling

Because 

My God Ever Lives To Make Intercession For Me

And

I Personally Know He Cares For Me ... Personally!

We Should All Be Personalizing This Effort! 

Our Father Says: Children, Fear Not! 
Our Faith Says: Father, We Trust Your Word! 
Our Feelings Say: But, What If!?! 
Our Enemies Say: There Is No God! 
Our Hope Says: In Godly Fear Is Great Reward! 
Our Obedience Says: I Know In Whom I Believe
And 
I Live For Him Who Cares For Me! 

The Lord Is My Light ... My Salvation
And 
The Strength Of My Life
And 
I Will Not Be Afraid 
Because 
He Knows My Name, My Voice
My Heart, My Condition
And
I Know His Sacrificial Love
And 
I Will Lovingly Do As He Lovingly Bids Me! 

I Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord 
And 
I Will Endure All Things 
For He Is Health And Cure! 
I Will Not Fear Man Nor The Devil: 
I Hold The Living God In Godly Fear
And 
I Will Unceasingly Pray! 

Jesus Christ Is My ... Is Our ... Perfect Peace! 

Peace Be Still!
Oh, How Glorious It Is To A God
In Whom We Can Trust To Strengthen Us ...!

... And Trust To Carry All Of Our Burdens
As Long As We Trust And Obey His Word!

Brethren,

To Reiterate And Reinforce
Please Recognize The Viable Keys To The Kingdom:

Trust The Word ... Not The Lying Eye! 
Obey The Will Of God 
And 
Don't Walk In The Corrupt, Selfish, Self-Pitying Way! 

When You Trust And Obey

You Will Endure!

The Lord Has Made The Way Plain ... And Perfect!

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord 
For His Goodness To The Children Of Men! 

Let's Thank God For Grace Now
And Coming Glory To Share!

Indeed!
He Is Good ... And Forever Faithful! 

HAPPY SABBATH + The Lord Of Life, Who Died And Still Lives, Can't Lie!

Under Biblical Jurisprudence
The Holy Law Of Wisdom
The Transgressor ... Sinful Man
Is
Transformed By The Lord Of Life
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth!

The Lord Jesus Christ Changes Our Form

Our Appearance

And

Our Character ... Thoroughly

To The Point That What Was

No Longer Is

And 

What Now Is Shall Become 
What Jesus Christ Presently Is

When We Shall Behold Him! 

We Shall Be Like Him! 

Our God, Holy And Faithful
Gives Us Hope ... For Heaven! 

Now, Under The Fallible Wisdom Of Illuminated Man

We Have The Brand, The Corruptions, Of The Snake:
Transubstantiation, Transsexualism, And Transhumanism!

Man Puts Icing On Ginger-Bread! 

Man Covers God's Beauty And Man's Blight With Masks
And 

Thinking To Be God
Man As God Indulges Folly And Fabrication

Trying To Make Man More ... Better

Than What His Only Creator Determined

And

Man's "Science Project" Concludes With Fire And Brimstone!

Illuminated Man ... Whose Mind Is Darkened By Sin
Gives His Fellowman The Surety Of 
The Blackness Of Darkness

And

His Presumptuous Posturings
Lead To The Burning Hell That Will Ultimately 
Consume All Who, By Personal Choice, Shall Enter There! 

These, Brethren, Are Our Two Camps! 

One Is Salvation

And

The Other Is Sin! 

Understand This ... 

Sin 
Is 
The Transgression Of The Unchangeable Law Of 
Almighty God Who Created Us All!

Iniquity Is Planned Sin!

Planned Sin Is Presumption
And

Presumption Upon The Grace Of Almighty God Is Sin!

All Lawlessness Is Sin!

Sin Defiles The Proud Doer!

Pride Leads To Greed!

Pride Is A Sin! 

Greed Leads To Hatred!

Greed Is A Sin!

Hatred Leads To Murder!

Hatred Is A Sin!

Murder Is A Sin!

Sin Leads To Death!

Death Is The Wage Paid To All Mankind For Sin!

The Cost To Redeem Man From His Earned Paycheck

Is
The Shedding Of Innocent Blood!

The Only Innocent Blood In All Of Creation 

Is
The Blood Of The Son Of God

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Lord, God, King, Judge

And

One True And Faithful Friend! 

Brethren, 

What I Say To One

I Say To Us All:

Trust Jesus Christ ... And Believe All Of His Word

Because 

The Lord Who Gives Life ... Who Sustains Life

Who Is Preparing Places For Us

To Enjoy His Eternal Life

Cannot Lie ... Cannot Fail

And

Shall Soon Reappear! 

It's Not An Easy Road ...

Jesus Christ Said That

Sorrow Comes
But
Joy Comes In The Morning
And
As Long We Have Have Breath
Day Will Follow Night

Summer Will Follow Spring!
And

Harvest-Time Will Follow Sowing! 

The Beauty Of The Lord Follows The Blight Of Our Sin
And
Glory Be To Jesus
We Who Shall Remain In The Word
Being Enduringy Faithful To Journey's End
Or He Shall Come For Us
Shall Have ... In The Time Of His Appointing
Our Holy Harvest Celebration! 

Beloved,
Our Lord Declares That 
Neither Sin Nor Sinners Shall Eternally Prosper
And
Don't You Ever Forget It 
No Matter How It Looks ... Now
Or How The Unrepentant Sinner Behaves ... Here!
We Have The Book On It!

All Those Who Think That The Prosperity Of The Wicked 

Is 

Something To Envy 

Should Take Careful Note Of The Word "Surely" 

In Relation To Living ... For Jesus Christ ... In Godly Fear! 

Jesus Christ The Creator ... Almighty God

Told Adam And Eve That They Would Surely Die 

In The Day 

That They Disobeyed His Word

And 

They Did! 

A Thousand Years 
Is
As A Day To The Lord 

And 

The Record Clearly States That
Adam Did Not Survive The Day: He Died At 930 Years! 

Our God Keeps His Promises 
So Despite The Aggravations And The Aggressions
The Persecutions, The Prosecutions
The Lies, The Deceits And The Disappointments
Let's "Let" The Evil Doers Have Their Moment

Because

We, Faithful, Have Eternity ... Promised In Blood

To Look Forward To! 

Be Faithful Unto Death

And 

Live ... Again ... To Wear The Crown Of Everlasting Life: 
You Shall Surely Live In The House Of The Lord ... Forever! 

Remember, Beloved

Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace Be Upon You

Because

The Lord Christ Who Gives It
Is 
Our Good Shepherd! 

Wash In The Blood

Read The Book

And

Living In Holy Faith

Stand On The Holy Word

That Is

The Eternal Truth!

Wisdom ... Temptation ... Praying

Just Because I'm Young

It Doesn't MEAN That I'm Foolish

And Just Because You All Are Old

It Doesn't That All Of You Are Wise!

WATCH your Mouth, Young Lady!

You Weren't Born In A Barn!

Remember, It Isn't What You Say Always

It Is How You Say It!

Brother Phussie

I'm Am Sick And Tired Of Always Being Told That 
I'll UNDERSTAND Things When I Get Older!

I'm Getting Older Every Day 

And I Can Tell You That 
I Understand A Lot More Than You Credit Us With!

Okay, Mecina!

Speak Your Piece!

Brethren, 

Please Listen To Her Attentively!

Brethren, 

I'm In A Quandary That Is Starting To Look Like A Quagmire 

And I Cannot For The Life Of Me Understand Why

If Sin Is Our Disease 

And Jesus Christ Is Our Cure

And 
If We Are Cursed

And The Earth Is Cursed For Our Sakes

And

Since Jesus Christ Came To This Earth

And Showed Us How To Live

And Died Our Death

And Got Up And Rose Up To Glory

And Thereby

Secured For Us New Bodies ... New Lives

And New Homes In Glory Land

And On An Earth Made New

Why Are Some Many Persons 
- Including Some Of Our Very Church Members -

Willing To Die To Get Earthly Mansions

And Are Pleased To Visit Plastic Surgeons 

So That They May Appear Ever-Young

When We Have Immortality, Incorruptibility

Eternal Youth

And An Everlasting Home Compliments Of

The Majesty Of Heaven!?!

Shouldn't We So-Called Christ Followers

Be Quick To Tell Unbelievers 

And Other Apparently Disinterested Parties

That Without Jesus Christ

Man Has Nothing Better

That Jesus Christ Saves

That He Loves Us ... Unconditionally 

Unreservedly

Unendingly!?!

Why Do So Many Want To Hold On To This Earth

Even Willing To Cannibalize Their Brethren

When The Lord Christ Himself

Is Going To Burn It Up!?!

Why Are We Refurbishing Bodies That Are Known Terminal

That Cannot Enter The Eternal City

That MUST Be Changed Into Christ's Glorious Body!?!

Why Don't We Believe The Word Of God Absolutely!?!

Why Are We Second-Guessing 
The Living Word Of The All-Knowing God

Who Is Ever-Present

And Whose Eyesight Extends To The Infinite!?!

Why Are We So Afraid To Believe!?!

To Trust

To Wait ... Patiently

Packed And Prepared For Travel!?!

Why Are We Afraid To Pray

Or More Specifically

Pray Big Prayers!?! 

Why Won't We Let Go Of Self

And Get A Strangle-Hold On Our Savior!?!

Why Don't We Sincerely Believe The Word Of God Enough

To Stop Picking It Apart

And Mansplaining What Almighty God Dictated To Us 

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth!?!

I Guess That My Real Question Is

When Are We Going To Start ... Believing 

Believing That Our Lord Jesus

Our Holy God Eternal

Cannot Fail!?!

Mecina, Dear Child

Belief Is A Heart Issue

A Personal Issue

Between Our Self And Our God

And 

That Is Why We Are Each, Personally, Called Upon

To Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation

With Fear, Godly Fear, And Trembling!
Resisting The Devil Is Not A Futile Exercise!

On The Issue Of Prayer 
And A Sideways Touch Regarding Temptation
Because
We Are All Often Tempted Not To Indulge Praying

I Offer To You ... To Us All

This Thought ... Caution ... From Dr. Luke:

Christians Should Always Repair To Prayer! 
Praying Is Powerful!

Jesus Christ Often Had All-Night Prayer Meeting With His Father

And 

We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing! 

We Are Always Going To Face Temptation 

And As I Said Before
Even Temptation To Not Pray

And 

We Are Going To Need Strength 
To Resist The Tempter ... By The Word! 

The Way To Receive Strength For The Battle 

Is 

Through Praying! 

However, Please Do Not Forget That Praying Without Faith 

Is 

Just Like Spitting Into The Air 

And 

Expecting A Shower Of Rain To Fall: It Isn't Going To Work! 

Beloved, 

I Encourage You

To Raise Up Your Prayers In Faith ... No Doubting

And 

He Who Is Ever Faithful Will Deliver For You 

According To His Will, His Way

And 

His Time! 

The Heartfelt, Humble, Prayers Of The Righteous

Avails, Accomplishes, Much! 
Keep Your Eyes On Christ Jesus!

And Furthermore

I Encourage You To Remember That

Our Lord Christ Has 1,000 Ways To Save Us

About Which We Know Nothing

So See To It That You Pray ... With Passion!

Dare To Light A Candle For The Devil To See That

You And Your Lord

Are In A Committed Relationship

And

Let Your Life Be An Epistle For All Who Observe You! 

I Commend You To The Lord:
Commit Your Way To His Leading!

Amen, And Thanks, Kindly!
I Appreciate You
And I Bless God For The Gift Of Faith!!

HAPPY SABBATH + People With Problems!?!

Man 
Is 
Choosing ... By His Own Fallible Wisdom

To Tell The World
And
To Tell The Almighty God 
Who The Almighty God Is

Instead Of Choosing To Accept The Word Of 
The Holy One Who Is Wisdom

Who Shows To All That He Is Good And Faithful

And

Does Not Indulge In God-Fraud!

If We Don't Already Know It
Then Let Me Tell Us All Plainly:
We Are People With Problems!

First Off The Bat
Let's Just Admit The Truth
About Our Seeking After Man's Approval
And
Earthly Rewards

Instead Of Seeking The Approval Of The True And Living God

And 
Staking Our Purchased Lives 
On Receiving The Heavenly Reward!

Earthly Rewards Perish!

Brass Rings

Silver Cups

And Gold Coins

Cannot Enter Heaven!

Admission Is By Reproducing
In Your Own Life

The Righteous Character Of Jesus Christ!

When We Refuse The Truth Of The Eternal God
And
Choose To Follow Another Jesus Christ
And
Learn From Another Gospel
We Are Raising Rabid Attack Dogs In Our Beds

Who Viciously Bite At Our Edible And Exposed Throats!

And

Because We Are Choosing The Liar Instead Of The Lord
We Are Harboring Known-Poisonous Snakes In Our Warm Bosoms

Who Wittingly ... And By Their Nature
Manufacture Our Brutal, Stinging, Uncomfortable Deaths!

Those Who Die In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

Die With The Certain Hope Of 

The Sure Resurrection Of The Just

Who Live By The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Brethren,

We Are Called Believers 
Because
We Have Faith After Having Heard 
Not Just Any Old Word
But
The Word ... The Living Word Of Almighty God
So, Please, I Beseech Us
Let's Stop Giving Dread Doubt A Foothold
And Instead
Let's Start Giving Over Our Hearts To The Faith
The Living Faith Of The Holy Jesus

Which Cannot Fail Us!

The Name ... The Character Of 

The Lord Jesus Christ

Is A Strong Tower!

Those Who Are Righteous Run Into It

And Are Safe!

We Need To Stop ... Right Now ... This Very Minute

Indulging In Willful Blindness

And
Permitting Itching Ears

To Lead Us Into Sure Disgrace
Because
We Lack Working Faith!

Faith Without Works Is Dead!

We Know That The Word Of Almighty God Is True!
We Know That Jesus Christ Saves!
We Know That Satan Is The Liar And Murderer Supreme!
We Know That Satan's House Is Built On Sinking Sand
And
We Know That The Lord's House Is A Sure House
Built On The Rock Of Ages
That Shall Stand Forever!
Why, Then
Are We Indulging Creeping Compromise
Permitting The Unsavory Desires Of
Those Who Would Be God And King
Those Who Would Force Conscience
Those Who Would Compel Free Will
Those Who Would Choose Your God For You
To Cause Us To Doubt The Love Which Will Not Let Us Go
The Love Which Cannot Fail!?!

Our Sin Is Not Stronger Than Our Savior!
Our Hope In Jesus Christ Will Not Fail
Nor Will It Lead Us To Hell Which Is Prepared For Satan
So Why, In The Name Of All That Is Holy
Are We Permitting Others To Cause Us To Doubt
To Disbelieve
To Dishonor
To Disobey Our Creator And Sustainer God Almighty
Who Paid The Price 
- With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood -
For Our Own Personal, Egregious, Sin!?!

Isn't It About Time That We Choose To Stand Up
And
To Speak Out 
For The Truth Of The God Of Heaven
Though The Heavens Fall Upon Our Heads!?! 

Do We Not Have The Promise That
Those Who Die In The Lord
Shall Rise Up To Live Forever With The Lord Of Life!?!

Jesus Christ Said

He Would Lay Down His Life

And He Did!

Jesus Christ Also Said That

He Would Take Up His Life Again

And He Did!
Jesus Christ Says What He Will Do
And
He Does What He Promises To Do!

Jesus Christ Saves!
Almighty God's Promises Are "Yeah!" And "Amen!"
And
We Have The Sure Word:

 

Listen To Me Carefully, Brethren!

Those Who Presumptuously Take The Word Of Almighty God 
And
Turn It Into A Lie 
By Rewriting, Reinterpreting, Reframing
Reimagining It
And 
Teaching It To Others To Cover Known Sin 
Are In For A Rude Awakening! 

Finite Man Can't Unseat 

The Infinite God

From His Glorious Throne 

So Almighty God's Word Stands! 

Take Heed, Beloved!
Lawless Men Recasting Almighty God 
Into Their Carnal, Lustful, Greed-Propelled, Sinful Image 
Will Fail And Fall As Satan Did
And 
Will Receive Satan's Ordained Reward! 

Jesus Christ, Almighty God
Is 
Holy, Just, Loving, Kind
And 
Unfailingly True! 
Let's Give Unto Him ... I Beseech Us All
Willing Worship, Glory, Honor And Heartfelt Praise! 

Let's Fear Our Holy God
Not With Ungodly Fear
But
With Holy Awe
And
Let Us, By His Grace, Obey His Every Word!
When We Do This, Brethren,
We Will Be Blessed To Live Forever 
With Jesus Christ Who Infinitely Loves Us! 
May The Lord Of All Keep Us Faithful!

Obedience Pays!

Jesus Christ Obeyed His Father

And His Obedience Paid For Man's Sin

And Purchased For All Mankind

The Gift Of Free Grace

Which Is Always Sufficient!

In Faith, Please Call Upon Jesus Christ

Who Knows, And Can Fill, All Your Needs!
