The Word Works: The Truth Satisfies!




We Daily Need The Nourishment Of Food 
To Physically Stay Alive And Well! 

We Daily Need The Nourishment That
Is
The Living, Holy, Word, The Truth
If The Soul Is To Prosper 
And 
Have Spiritual Health And Well-Being! 

Beloved, 

While Picky Eating May Work In The Realm Of The Flesh 
And 
A Person May Survive On Biscuits While Ignoring 
The Extensive Array Of Good And Healthful Eats 
At The Daily Benefit The Body Buffet
We Cannot ... As Committed Christians 
Pick And Choose The Parts Of The Word Of God That We Like
Discard What We Disapprove
And 
Dismiss That With Which We Disagree! 

The Word Of God 
Is 
The Famine-Proof Assurance Of A Future Life Of Bliss Food 
For Whosoever Freely, Willingly, Eats With Love And Gratitude 
From The Lord's Glorious Gift Of Said Food Known Good For Us 
At Every Age, Stage, And Station Of Life! 

We May Not Always Immediately Love Or Enjoy Certain Calls
Claims, Corrections 
Commissions Or Charges We See In Or Hear Of In The Word 
But
If We Truly Love The Lord Jesus Christ, Our Savior Dear
Whom We Know Loves Us Each Sacrificially
We Will Accept The Living Word 
Knowing That It Comes From The Lord Of Life 
Who Will Never Hurt Or Deceive Us! 

The Living, Holy, Word Works 
So Let It, By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth
Have Its Blessed Way Aka Do Its Appointed Work In Your Life! 

I Beseech Us All 
To Allow Ourselves To Acquire The Taste, The Desire,l
For The Eternal Things Of Almighty God Today! 

Never Ever Forget That Only The Truth Satisfies The Soul! 

Peace!

For What Are You Longing!?!







What Is Good For You Allegedly Tastes Bad
And
Is Costly! 

What Is Bad For You Tastes Good
Is 
Ever On Tap, Cheap
And 
Is Always The Latest Must-Have! 

Beloved, 

For What Are You Longing!?! 
Is It Some Tasty Treat Beloved By Evil-Doers 
And 
Is Free To All Or Sold In Multiples For Cheap!?! 

Are You Telling Yourself 
"No, I Don't Want It!" 
But 
Find Yourself Imbibing The Fun Size 
Or Nursing The Big Gulp 
Or Pushing A Whole Pallet 
Because 
It Is A Once In A Life-Time 
Never To Be Repeated 
Members Only 
I'll Die If I Don't Grab It Now Must-Have That 
Is 
On A Buy Two Get Three Free With Coupon Give-Away!?! 

Sin Infinitely Costs You Personally! 

The Way Out ...

Our Purchased Salvation 
Infinitely Cost Our Lord Jesus Personally 
And 
Is Free To Us Eternally! 

The Problem Is That
We Must Willingly Give Up 
The Dime-A-Dozen Cheap Treats Of The World That 
Our Corrupted Taste-Buds Love To Explore! 

Out With The Old ...

To Hold The Once In A Life-Time 
One To A Person Free To All Never On Sale Salvation
We Must Willingly Have Our Palates Cleansed
Our Ears Unstopped
Our Eyes Healed
And 
Our Hearts Made Flesh! 

Will You Take The Cure-For-All 
By Forsaking All Bad Things ... For Sure!?! 

With Our Willingness To Have Life In Christ
And
By The Unfailing Grace And Free Mercy Of Almighty God
And
The Regenerating Power Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
The End Result 
Is 
The Life Pure On The No-Sunset Shore! 
By Christ, You Are Adored: 
Please Answer His Call! 
Peace!


Our Stomachs Are Bigger
Than Our Eyes:
Not Everything That Is Edible
Is Worth Eating
Or
Worth The Final Price!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRIDE: Humble Yourself!



Sing Out My Soul to The Lord: HAPPY SABBATH + GAME-CHANGER: Love Hopes!



Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak  peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to  folly.



There Is Nothing More Silly To Behold Than 
Seeing A Person Who Obviously Needs Help From Almighty God
- Via The Hand Of Man - 
Pontificating That 
They Don't Need Help From Anybody ... At All
While Telling Others That 
They Are The Ones In Need Of Heavenly Help!

There Is None So Blind
As He Who Willfully Refuses
The Plain Truth To See! 

There Is The Savior 
The Redeemer
The Provider
The Forever-Friend ...

The Lord God Almighty Has Asked Us To Humbly Approach Him 
And 
Reason With Him
And 
Also Ask For What We Need! 

There's Always Something ...

The Problem Is That
Many Of Us Are Too Arrogant 
And 
Filled With Satanic Pride 
To Bow Before The Lord
To Ask For What We Need
To Hear What He Has To Say
And 
To Permit Him To Feed Us With Food That 
Is 
Good For Us 
According To Where We Are In Our Journey To Zion! 

Heads Up ... 

We Can't Learn When We Don't Listen
And
We Won't Learn When We Already Know Everything! 

Everybody Ought To Know ... 

Pride
- The Cause Of Lucifer's Fall - 
Is Now His ... As Satan ...
Most Used Weapon Of Mass Destruction 
For Picking Many Of Us Off The Path Of Purity
Productiveness
True Profit 
And 
Perfect Peace! 

Vrooom, Vroom ... 

Hearing 
Is 
An Automatic Car! 
Listening 
Is 
A Manual Car! 

Listen To The Lamb ... 

Walking In Disobedience 
Is 
Natural
But
Living In Obedience 
Is 
A Personal Choice! 

Beloved, 

To Hear The Lord Speak
We Need To Kill Pride
Humbly Acknowledge Our Need
Ask For Help
Close Our Mouths
And Then
Patiently Listen To Hear What The Lord Shall Say! 

When A Person Is Hungry
And
Food Is Made Available
They Eagerly Eat Until They Are Well Satisfied
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Don't Let Pride Cause You To Starve 
While You Are In Front Of A Plate Of Good Food 
From The Hand Of The Great God!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Peace With The Father Is Free! 


Naked And Ashamed
And
Cast Out Into Outer Darkness
Is
The Final Stop
For The Proud
And
The Unrepentant:
Don't Be Among Them!

The Green Olive Tree



 Psalms 52:8 KJV - But I am like a green olive tree in the house of ...



To Be A Green Olive Tree 
Is 
To Be Something Precious ... Beautiful
Bearing Good Fruit
Abundantly Fruitful
And 
Immensely Useful! 

Such Is The Lot
The Call
The Mission
The Duty Of All Who Will To Be Evergreen Christians 
In The House Of The Lord Of Life! 

The Lord Prunes Those Whom He Uses! 
Those Whom He Uses 
Are Equipped By The Lord ... Himself
To Do The Work That 
He Has Ordained To Be Accomplished! 

Those Whom The Lord Uses 
Unfailingly Put Their Trust In Him 
And 
Rest Under The Shadow Of His Wings 
Until The Terrors Of Life Are Passed 
And We
In The Fullness Of God's Timing
Stand In The Open
In The Glorious Kingdom
In His Glorious Presence ... Forevermore! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Lord Christ 
And 
Faith, Trust
And 
Enduring Obedience Are Required! 

Let's Take As The Lord Feeds Us By His Holy Spirit 
And 
Let Us Feed The World 
Known Hungry For Saving Truth! 

Let's Feed Others 
From Our Plate Of Good Food From God 
So That We May Receive 
More Good Food From God! 

The Lord Feeds The Green Olive Tree 
And 
The Green Olive Tree Feeds The World With The Golden Olive Oil
The Holy Spirit, Within! 

Talk Is Cheap: 
Get Up And Do A Good Work For Almighty God! 
Heaven At Any Personal Cost 
Is 
Cheap! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Buffet Station

I Visited The Buffet Table
At The Restaurant Called "Life Is A Beach"
Where The Sands Of Time Were Everywhere
And
The Shells Of Fallen Men
Were Being Sun Bleached!

The Ebb And Flow Of Life And Time
Was Evidenced Upon Form And Face
Of All Who Ate At Life Is A Beach
Because
There Was No Other Food Establishment That
Could Beat The Choices Or Atmosphere 
In That Very Popular Place!

When A Business Has No Competition
It Does Exactly What It Wants:
It Can Sell Pig Swill
And
Make You Purchase It
Because
They Convince You That
It Is What You Need
It Is A Must-Have Want
And Because
Some Soul With A Little Claim To Fame
Has Endorsed The Swill For A Sweet ... Check
And
Everybody Who Wants To Be Considered
To Be A Part Of The Inside Crew
Eats And Tells A Friend, A Sister, A Brother 
And Soon
People Who Should Know Better
Are Eating Sweet Bread That Is Burnt And Bitter!

The Prices Are Changed Every Day
And 
Sometimes Even After You've Checked The Price 
And 
Eaten 
And 
Before You've Paid For Your Order! 
Talk About Bold-Faced Cheats!

But ... 

Having Sold The Citizens On
"Seldom Comes A Better!"
And
Having Achieved A Cornered Market
By Bold And Brazen Deceit
Life Is A Beach Restaurant's Proprietor
Shameless Duffy
Front-Man For Baseman B'Old
That Decepti-Conman Of Ages Old
Arrived At His Establishment
To Find That Another Establishment Had Opened 
And 
Was Actively Doing Good Business
Right. Next. Door!

Who!?!
How!?!
When!?!
Why!?!

He Called His Boss
To Find That His Boss
His Intrepid, Fearless, Feisty, Facing, Boss 
Is 
Already In Fear
For The New Enterprise Had Long Been Expected
Even Though The B'Old One Had Long Tried
The Event To Proscribe!

The Handwriting That Has Long Been On The Wall
Is Being Explained Inside 
And On
The New Establishment's Clean And White Walls!

The Menu Is Written In Big, Bold, Letters!
The Ingredients' List Is Plain, Easy To Read!
The Servers Are Stars, Strong, Willing To Serve
Practitioners Of The Defensive Arts
And
Influencers Of No Mean Impact
And
Most Dreadful Of All To Baseman B'Old Of The Heart Cold
Is That 
The Price Of Everything On The Menu
Is, To The Eater, Cost-Free
With Not Even A Transaction Fee!

The New Establishment Is Called
Bread Of Heaven!
The Invitation To Eat Says: 

Come As You Are!
Eat Free
And
Leave Refreshed, Reformed, Renewed
In Original, One-Of-A-Kind Free Robes
From The Line Clean And White
From The Collection A La King
From The House Of Love And Righteousness!
Eat All You Want!
Come For The Food
And
Stay For The Companionship!
The Proprietor 
Is
The Concierge
The Cook
The Chef
The Caterer
The Cleaner
And
He Has The Most Shocking Back-Story!
He Is The Soul-Healer
And
The Against-Damnation Sealer!

I Was Wowed!

I Visited
And
At The Bread Of Life's Buffet Station
I Saw Food In Abundance
But
According To Tradition
And
My Gluttonous Expectation
Limited Choice!
I Wanted To Raise An Indignant Voice
But
I Was Intrigued:

EAT IT ALL BUFFET!
You Eat: He Paid!

  • Faith Not Feeling
  • Blessings
  • Peace, Joy, Rest, Refreshed
  • Hope, Help, Healing
  • Truth, Light, Life
  • Repentance: Contrite Heart
  • Forgiveness
  • Grace, Mercy, Righteousness
  • Home, Holiness, Hallelujah
  • Sing, Prayer And Preach
  • Endurance
  • Accept Salvation
  • Deliverance From Death
  • Joy In The Lord
  • Purchase Of Blood
  • Saved By Grace

Staggered, I Stopped 
And 
The Wheels Of The Bus ... My Brain
Started To Turn!

This Menu Was Different, Different
Tame
With No In Your Face Excitement
No Underhanded Explosions 
No Pepper In Your Eyes
No Salt In Your Wounds 
No Self-Actualization
No Self-Exaltation
No Hidden Sin
No Sorrow
No Shame
No Fake-It Until You Make-It
No Buy-In To Blight 
No Cause Division
No Do What Pleases You 
No Live Fast Die Young
And
No Run About And Run Around
As Is Found On Baseman B'Old's
All You Can Eat Buffet!

Suddenly ...

I Noticed The Quiet!
I Felt The Peace ... The Calm
And Then
Strange To Changing Ears
I Heard The Sound:

Peace Be Upon You!

Glory, Glory!
Hallelujah, Jesus!

My Eyes Flared And My Ears 
And 
Forehead Raised In Shock!

Jesus!?!
Jesus Was Here!?!
Here At Last!?!

I, Uncaring Of My Observers
Raised My Hands And Shouted:

Glory To God Most High!
Lord, I Love You!
Please Draw Near!
I Have Long Had A Need
And For You, My Heart Does Bleed!
Please, Lord, Draw Near
For From You I Must Feed!
Please Take My Sinner's Life
And Take Me Under Your Control!
I Will Follow You, Lord: Please Lead!

Bossman B'Old Had Just Lost Himself Another Client! 


Image result for KJV Romans 8:1

KJV Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
 
Clean Before The Lord
And 
Without Shame Or Remorse Before The Law
Is 
The Life Of Those 
Who Chose Christ's Free Salvation And Cleansing
Over Sin And The Sinfulness Of Self! 

Sin ... The Flesh Life
Carries Us Where We Don't Want To Go
But 
Salvation ... The Life Of Christ
Directed By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Takes Us To The Land Of Hope ... To Glory
Where All Is Rest, Peace, And Everlasting Joy! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Sin Is For A Time 
But 
Salvation Is For Eternity
So Choose Salvation 
And 
Almighty God's Amazing Grace Today! 
Glory Awaits The Enduring Faithful!

PREACH THE WORD BOLDLY: The Folded Message

Tame And Lifeless Message Had Married
After Courage And Faith
- Previously Loved But Causing Problems -
In Their Relationship
Had Been Signally Shunned!

It Was Like This ...

Courage And Faith
Were Faithful Workers In The Service Of
The True And Living Eternal God
And
They Were Good Stewards Of Their Increase:

What The Lord Told Them
They Told Others!

What Good Food They Were Fed
With Such Good Food
They Fed ... Willingly Fed ... Others!

What Words Of Warning They Received
Such Words Of Warning
They Wisely Gave Others!

What Charges To Keep The Faith Of Jesus
To Walk In The Light Of Life
To Embrace Grace
To Meet Mercy
To Denigrate Self
To Uplift Christ
To Believe And Live
To Deny The Liar
To Love Truth
To Live For The Lord
To Walk With The Majesty Of Heaven
In Blissful Accord
They Delivered Said Messages
Even If 
Rotten Eggs
Soggy Tomatoes
Tar Balls
Intense Scrutiny
Unfair Challenges
Lies And Unworthy Speculations
Were Their Payment!

But ... 

As Time Passed
Self Interposed
And
Faith Waivered
And
Courage Failed
Because
The Messengers Were Not Taking The Time
To Continually Drink From The Waters Still
To Eat Substantially Of The Bread Of Life
And
Were Instead
Constantly ... Continually
Looking In At Self
Looking Down At Station
Looking Out At Position
And
Neglecting To Look Up At The Lord Of Life
The Sustainer
The Provider
The Guide
The Light
The Redeemer
Who Demands Of His Children
His Students
- His Servants -
The Walk Of Obedient Faith
And Not 
The Distrustful Wondering
Wandering 
Of Lying Eyesight!

It Was A Slow And Painful Decline
Seeking
- Always Seeking -
To Gain A Friend ... A Comrade
A Compatriot To Commiserate
And
Finding None Like-Minded
Like-Mannered
And
For Fear
Choosing To Conform
Instead Of Encouraging Others
To Be Transformed
By The Renewing Of Their Minds!

Facts Remain Facts ...

Contrary Winds Turn Around!
Molasses Rolls Down!
Floods Carry Along!
Hail-Stones Break Down
And
The Only Good In Their Lives
The Updraft Of Truth ... That Lifts One Up
To The Lord
Was Lost In The Shuffle Of
The Pounding, Probing, Twirling
Twisting, Tormenting, Upheaval 
Delivered
Compliments Of The Adversary Of All Men's Souls
Who Has Make Man Fall Goals!

Courage And Faith
Were Left Outside In The Cold
And
The End Result Was
A Crumpled Christian
Delivering
An Inbred Tame And Lifeless Message
Offering No Cutting Truths To Encourage Anyone
To Enter The Safe-Sheep Fold
The Safe Sheep-Fold
The Goal Of Every Saved Soul!

These Things Ought Not So To Be!

Brethren, Beloved
True Lovers
True Followers Of The Lord Christ
Please, I Beseech You
Do Not On This Earth
Plan For An Easy Life! 

The World Hated, Hates, Our Savior! 
You're His Servant! 
They Will, Likewise, Hate You! 
So, Cling To Him Who Loves Your Soul
And
Appearances And Offences
Will Not Ever Torment You! 

The Grace Of God 
Is
Always Sufficient
For Those Who Choose To Walk
In The Good King's Way
So ... Be Pleased To Suffer ... In The Here, And The Now
For Our Soon-Returning Lord
And
Look Up With Faith And In Love
For On The Wing Comes Not Only
Our Great And Glorious Reward
But
The Promised Damnation And Destruction Of
Sin And Satan
The Willful, Winsome, Wily, Wastrel Fraud! 

To Be Sure, Brethren
A Folded Message Cannot Be Read By A Child
Farless Taught
By A Brow-Beaten Concerned-For-Self
Supposed To Be Faithful
Minister
Servant
Student Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!
He Is Rendered Thereby An Agent Of Satan The Fraud
The Wannabe God! 

Trust, I Tell You
In Jesus Christ The Only One Righteous
Our Holy, Ever-Loving, Ever-Living
Almighty Matchless 
Willing Always To Bless, God!

HAPPY SABBATH + Wither The Holy Spirit!?!

Let Us Consider This Statement:

When The Lord God Removes
The Comfort Of His Holy Spirit
From The Human Vessel
Strange Things Happen
And 
The Human Heart
Becomes Vile And Very Cruel!

King Saul Comes To Mind!
Herod The Great!

There's Also The Situation With Samson The Strong
Who Became Samson The Weak! 

Good Point Indeed! 

Now ... Wouldn't The Reverse Be Also True
As In When The Lord Pours Out His Spirit?!

Take For Examples Such Saul-Apostle Paul
Ruth
Joseph
Jacob-Israel
Gideon
Jephtha
Samuel

Interesting!

With The Spirit Of The Living, Loving, Holy God
Men ...! 

.... And Women And Children, Too!!

Point Taken! 

With The Spirit Of The Living God
Men Women Children
All Who Will To Believe
Love Trust Honor Worship And Obey
Have ... Given Into Their "Hands" 
Power
To Walk Right And Live Holy Lives
On The Glorious King's Highway! 

Now, Let's Go Forward One More Step:

Have You Ever Thought About
What It Means To Quench Something!?!


I Quench My Thirst With Ice Cold Water On A Hot Day!
It's Totally Refreshing!


If You Quench A Fire
A Candle
A Coal
What Does That Mean!?!


To My Understanding
It Means That You Kill The Flame
Extinguish The Fire
Turn Off The Light
Get Rid Of The Heat
Make It As though It Has Not Been
Send It Into Nothingness!

So Does That Not Mean That 
Quenching The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God
Putting Out The Light
Excluding Him ... By Whom We Are Sealed
Against The Great Day Of God's Vengeance
Is
To All Intents And Purposes
Cutting Ourselves Off From Truth

Light Life Hope Help Healing
Direction Correction Protection
Grace Faith
Forgiveness
Salvation Redemption
Blessing
Peace And Rest!?!

That's A Mighty Long List
And From Where I Stand
There's Nothing On It That 

We Can Afford To Give Up
Under Any Circumstance!

Well Said!

Let's Go For A Walk ...

I Wonder How Many Of Us Realize That
The Holy Spirit In Us
Is
The Actual Power 
And 
The Actual Presence Of Almighty God
And
That That Is Why It Is The Unpardonable Sin
To Blaspheme The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
Why There Is No Forgiveness For This Sin!?!

We Are Treading On Dangerous Ground
When We Self-Indulgently Ignore 
The Promptings Of The Holy Spirit!

We Are Treading On Exceedingly Dangerous Ground
When We Chase Away The Holy Spirit From Our Lives
By Wittingly Choosing To Listen To Satan!

We Can Take For Our Examples Balaam And King Saul
Disciple Judas
Korah And The Princes Of Israel
And
Achan ... The First Child Born In The Desert

I Have Often Wondered Why Jesus Said
All Manner Of Blasphemies May Be Forgiven
But Never, Ever, Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit!
Now I Have The Reason!

I Had Never Thought About It Like That
But Now I Truly Understand That:


"I Have The Power!"



I Truly Have Almighty God In My Heart
And I Can Withstand The Wiles Of The Devil
Because
Almighty God With Me Makes The Majority!

We Really, Truly, Have An Amazing Blessing
And We Do Not Appreciate How Great It Is!

Imagine ...

Almighty God
In The Person Of His Holy Spirit
Is 
Available To Me
A Child Of The Dust
A Repentant Sinner
A Child Of The King
A Servant Of The Father
A Student Of Christ
A Traveler To Zion
Because
I Believe
I Love
I Trust
I Have Faith
I Walk With Hope
I Pray
I Give Praise
I Honor Him
And
I Obey!

I Can Endure Anything At All
Because
I Can Say With The Saints


Live Out Thy Light Within Me

Thou, Jesus, King Of Kings!
You Are Indeed The Answer
To All My Questionings!

I Just Now Made The Connection
To Jesus Christ Saying To His Disciples
And The People ...



Good Catch!
It's Good To Know That Even Now
We Can Still Learn Something From The Word
And
Not Become Complacently Inured To Its Treasure Store!
Get Used To It
Because
We Will Be Learning For All Eternity!

We Are Blessed ... And Don't Even Know It!
We Are Loved ... And Don't Even Show It!
We Are Growing ... And Don't Even Seem To Know It
So
How About We Let Us Grow Up To Show Up
In The Kingdom Of Glory
So That We Don't By The Laziness Of Unbelief
Blow It!

It Is Time For A New Page!

It's Time To Write A New Chapter
- With Real Understanding -
Showing ... For Real
That We Believe That


We Are The Temple Of The Living God

That We Are Bought Without Silver Or Gold
That We Have Hope
That We Have A Home
That Jesus Christ Truly Belongs To Us
That We Are, Indeed
Part Of The Family Of God!

Indeed!

We Have To Be Family
Because
There Is No One In Their Right Mind
Who Will Willingly Choose 
To Live With Strangers!

We Are God's Family
And
It Is Time That We Start Acting That Way!

Lord, Help Us!

He Will Help Us
But
We Need To Step Up To The Always Blessed Plate
And
Take A Satisfyingly Big Bite Of 
The Always Good-For-You Food!

You Know, Brethren
The One Take-Away We Should All Have From This
Is 
That Faith Places God Almighty In Us
- Our Hope For Glory -
And
We Can Defeat Any And Every Enemy
If
We Act With Holy Boldness
In The Faith Received Of
Our Lord Christ!

Perhaps This Is Why So Many Of The Martyrs
- Burned At The Stake -
Went To Their Graves ... Singing!

Brethren,
They Had The Power
And 
They Used It!
