Ask And Receive!

The Lord God Almighty Gives Good Gifts To Those 

Who Humbly Wait Upon Him Patiently! 

Let Us Enduringly Wait Upon Him To Receive 

The Gift Unimaginable

The Gift With No Sorrow

The Gift That Keeps Giving

The Gift That Blesses Us 

And

Blesses Us To Substantially Bless Others! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Be Like The Excited Child In The Car 

On A Long Journey To Expected Joy 

Asking The Question: 

"Are We There Yet!?!" 

Aka 

"Is My Blessing Ready Yet!?! 

May I Have My Blessing Now!?!" 

... And Let Us Repeat Ad Nauseum: 

"I Need A Blessing Now! 

My God Has A Blessing For Me And How! 

I Will Be Blessed And Saved! 

For Me, Jesus Christ My King Got Up From The Grave! 

I Am Waiting On My Gracious Lord Who Saves! 

Soon, Soon, All Will Be Glory Days! 

I Am Waiting On My Lord Because I Know That He Utterly Saves! 

He Is God Almighty And He Cannot, Ever, My Love Fail 

Because His Heart Is Inclined Toward Me Always!" 

Dear Ones, 

None Of This Is Possible Without Childlike Faith! 

We Diligently Pray: 

"Our Father, Who Art In Heaven!" 

Since Our Father Is In Heaven

Then We Are His Children! 

Will You, Therefore, Release Your Contrary Adult 

And 

Be Cleansed To Be The Loving, Obedient, Child Of God Today!?! 

There Will Be No Impatient, Uncultured, Ungovernable

Discontented, Angry Adults In Heaven! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Gift Of An Expected End!

 

For Every Good Gift That The Good Lord Gives To Us

Satan The Damned Has A Counterfeit! 

Beloved, 

We Must Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life To Be Safe!

Pride 

Is 

A Counterfeit! 

We Cannot Afford The Luxury Of Pride 

And

If We Do Not Reject It In Ourselves 

And

Recognize It In Others 

To Avoid Its Ever-Reaching Tentacles

We Will Find Ourselves In The No-Return-From Pit! 

Humility In Christians 

Should Not Be Of The Faux Persuasion 

But 

Should Be Our Staple

Our Standard

Our Way Of Life 

And

We Should Never Be In The Family-Business Of Satan 

Taking Pleasure In Condemning Others 

And 

Castigating Them 

Or Denouncing Them For Partaking In

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Proud Humility 

And 

Humble Pride Are Twins: 

Disown Them! 

The Lord ... In Mercy ... Is Clear: 

He Makes And Knows 

And 

Guides Our Way ... The Way To Life ... Plainly 

Because 

He Is Guaranteeing Us The End That 

He Is Providing To Us 

Because Of 

Christ's Sacrifice For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Those Who Cannot Give You A Biscuit 

To Take Bread ... The Bread Of Life

- The Life Of Christ The King Of Glory - 

From Your Head, Heart Or Hand! 

Be Wise And Know ... 

Satan's Gifts Are Rentals

But

Almighty God's Gifts To Us ... We Own! 

Be Fulfilled ...

Please Choose The Humble, Holy, Life Of Christ

And

Expect To Joyfully Enjoy

The Eternal God's Gift To Us Of An Expected End:

Everlasting Peace

Everlasting Joy

Everlasting Life ... At Home ... In The Father's House

With Jesus Christ Our Creator

Savior

Redeemer

Recreator

Lord, God 

And 

Kind King

Giver Of All Good And Perfect Gifts!

Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!

To Live Is To See Change

And

Wherever There Is Change There Is Decay! 

Be Glad ...

We Were Not Created 

To Just Change From Day To Day To Year To Death 

Like Animals Without Hope 

So We Need To Repair To The Creator-God

Our Provider, Sustainer

Healer, Hope, Help 

And 

Salvation

The Decaying Of Our Bodies To Route Out! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Cares ... For You And For Me

Individually ... Personally

So Dare To Dare And Love Him Back

And

Don't Just Do It Socially!

We Are Dearly Loved 

And 

We Need To Start Living To Live 

And 

Cease Living To Die! 

Don't You Know ... 

We Have The Friend Who Is Eternal

Who Gives The Best Gifts With Both Hands 

And 

Does Not Ever Take Them Back! 

He Is Constantly Inviting Us To Enter His Embrace 

And 

His Heart

And

He Is Inviting Us To Enter His House Of Peace, Love

Joy Forevermore

And 

Blessings

Now, Today ... This Very Moment 

By His Gift To Us Of Daily Faith

And Later

By His Gift Of Eternal Life

- Immortality And Incorruptibility - 

Physically

In Our Own Bodies

To See Him With Our Very Own Eyes!

Jesus Christ Is Not One To Lie! 

Any Friend Not Named

Jesus Christ The Lord

Is

A Fair- Weather Friend! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord

Is

The Only One 

Upon Whom We Can 

And

Should 

Ever, Always, In All Ways, Always Depend!

Beloved, 

Let's Pray Passionately ... Not Politically Correctly!

Let's Pray Faithfully ... Always Truthfully

And 

Really Talk To Our Father ... Our Jesus

- With The Help Of The Holy Spirit - 

As If Talking To Our Best Friend: He, Alone, Is! 

Only A Look ... 

Lovingly, Longingly, Look At Jesus Christ! 

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart! 

Touch Him! 

Embrace Him! 

Cry Out To Him! 

Laugh With Him ... Never About Him! 

Talk To Him About Everything ... He Knows Your Need! 

Get Angry At Him: He Can Handle It! 

Be Happy That He's There For You! 

Ask For A Gift: His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 

Apologize For Sin And Selfishness! 

Rest In And On Him! 

Listen To His Words, His Heart! 

Praise Him Again: He Deserves It

And 

Repeat ... Ad Nauseum!

Praying Is Not A Corporate Symposium! 

Trust Ye In The Lord Jehovah!

Anything Less Than

Perfect Peace

Is

All-Out War!

 

HAPPY SABBATH + Have Faith ... In Jesus Christ The King, Our Lord!

Without Faith

It Is Impossible To Please Almighty God! 

Without Faith

We Cannot Be At Peace With God! 
Without The Hearing Of The Word Of God

We Cannot Have Faith! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Holy Word Made Flesh 

And 

He Being The Giver Of Every Good Gift
Gives Unto Each Man, Woman And Child

A Daily Ration Of Faith To Use Each Day 

With No Carrying Forward! 

Faith Is For The Day! 

Strength Is For The Way That

You Are Called Upon To Walk! 

Faith 
Is 
A Wrapped Gift! 

To Know What Is The Content Of 
Our Personal Gift Of Faith 

We Must Dare To Unwrap That Daily Gift ... Daily!

You Know What Faith Is

But You Need To Use Your Faith

To Know What It Is That

Your Exercised Faith In Christ Can Do! 

Brethren,

Great Blessings Await The Trusting

And

We Must Choose To Use Our Faith 

If 

We Are To Gain The Blessings Generously Promised 

And 

Abundantly Provided! 

Faith ... Utilized Faith 

Is 

The Victory Which Overcomes This Sinful World

So Let's Energetically Take Our Faith ... For Today

With Head, Heart, Hand, Body, Mind, And Spirit 

And 

Work It To Death! 

Let Us Cast Caution, Aka Doubt, To The Curb 

And 

Let Us Whole-heartedly Trust ... Have Faith ... In God 

For All Our Needs! 

Beloved, 

I Implore Us All To Remember 
To Pray According To The Will Of God 

As Enumerated In The Holy Word 

And 

To Know That By So Doing
That All Will Be Well! 

Neither God Nor His Word Can Change

So Follow The Word ... Follow Christ Jesus

And 

Walk In Faith

And 

Be At Peace!

The Master Says

To Not Be Anxious

For Anything!

He Who Promises Is Faithful To His Word

And

His Word Makes It Plain That

He Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us! 

Please Walk With Christ Jesus

For He Is Light! 

Let Us Choose To Reject Lying Eyesight! 

Let Us Choose To Exercise Holy Faith Which Cannot Fail

And

Let Us Choose To Live In The Light That 
Blesses The Believing Child Of The Father

And

Illuminates The Way To Everlasting Life! 

Yesterday Is History!

Today Is A Gift

And

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

So Choose Life ... Today!

Remember, Beloved

Jesus Christ Alone Saves! 

Jesus Doesn't Ask Every Person To Manufacture His Own Faith! 

He, Being The Giving God Holy, Faithful And Ever True
Gives Unto Each One Of Us 
A Measure Of His Illimitable Supply

And

He Asks 
And 
He Expects 
His Believing Children

To Step Up To The Trial Of Faith

And

Stand Up

Walk On

And

Rest In

His Unfailing Gift! 

Jesus Christ Is Not A Mortal Man Who Lies! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Eternal One

The Almighty God

The Lord Who Blesses

The Master Who Serves

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Prince Of Peace

Our Hope, Our Help

And

Our Only Salvation! 

He Is Our Relief And Our Release! 

He Is Our Soon-Returning King! 

Believe On Him By Working Your Gift Of Faith

And

Be Forever Blessed!

Someone Is Praying For You! 

THE LORD SAID WAIT: Doin' Me Own T'ing!?!

Instant Gratification

Is

One Of Satan's Choicest Weapons!

When I Was Guessing At The Answers

I Made A Lot Of Mistakes

Saved A Boat-Load Of Time 

And

My Personal Performance 
Was 50+% Better Than My Brethren!

When I Learned The Rules

And 
Patiently Followed The Rules

I Spent A Lot Of Time Doing

And

I Got The Answers Right

But

I Was ... Consistently

Only Six Percent Better Than My Compatriots!

I Am Getting Two Answers

Which Are Tickling My Mind:

Is This How The Remnant Is Going To Be Made Up!?!

Is This How The Could-Be Saved Will Be Lost!?!

Time For A Think ...

Being Willing To Make Mistakes

To Save Non-RenewableTime
To Just Be Better Than Half The Population

Is 
A Losing Proposition To My Finite Mind

And

Following The Rules

And

Expending Time To Learn ... And Grow

Only To Be Better Than Less Than 
Six Percent Of The Population

Tells Me ... Of A Surety

That For Soul Salvation

I Really Need A Surety For Security!
Isn't Our Striving To Be For Perfection!?!

Jesus Christ Paid It All!

He Took My Pain ... Yours, Too

My Sorrow ... Yours, Likewise

To Give Unto Us His Blessing

In The Land Of No Time

Where No One Is Unkind

And

The God Is Eternal

Living

Holy And Divine!

To Ignore This Level Of Reasoning

Would Be Asinine!

Think Again ...

In The Situation Given

We Are At Peril 
So

We Need Our Savior, The Lord

Who Has Written His Law

Made Himself The Sacrifice

The Surety

The Security

And

Is The King

The Judge

The Lord, Our God

And

Master Of Everything

Who, Alone, Can Cause Us

To Be Free Of Sin
And
The Cruel Clutches Of Satan 
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Raging Lion
The Known God-Fraud!

Jehovah, Hallelujah ...

The Lord Provides!

The Lord Protects!

He Is Prophet, High Priest And Conquering King! 

He Is The Law Giver
And 

The Sin-Forgiver!

He Is Our Only Help

Our Guardian
And

Our Guide!

He Gives Good Gifts To All Living

But

To His Obedient People
He Does His Choicest Gifts Provide!

The Lord Bids Us Come: We Will Not Be Denied!

We Will Be Tried

But

His Hand Of Salvation

To Our Earnest Effort Is Tied:

He Gives 

But

We Must Expend Effort To Accept

By Saying:

Yes, Lord!

I Accept!

I Am Willing To Be Healed

And

Cleansed!

Use Me, Lord!

I Am Willing To Work!

Guide Me, Lord!

I Am Willing To Walk!

Help Me So That My Service To

And

For You

Is Not A Whole Lot Of Long Talk!

The Lesson That Must Be Learned ...

Waiting 

Does Not Sit Well With Us Selfish Beings 

Who Thrive On Instant Gratification!

Being Courageous When Our Mortal Eyes 

Can Only See Present Defeat 

Is 

Practically Impossible

And

Being Strong 

When Your Heart Is Trembling In Ungodly Fear 

- Because You Messed Up By Previously Doing "It" Your Way -

Isn't Going To Happen! 

Buuut ... 

When The God Of Grace

Your Father In Heaven, Says:

"Be Not Dismayed!

Trust Me!

I Am Here

And

I Will Bless And Keep You 

Because

You Are The Apple Of My Eye!" 

We Can Believe Him 

Because 

He Loves Us 

And 

He Is Faithful! 

He Can't Make Mistakes!

We Can Take The Lord Jesus Christ

At His Living, Holy, Word 

Because 

He Is Able To Do All That He Says He Will Do! 

His Mission To Calvary Was A Glorious Success:

It Caused Him Agony 

And 

Shed His Innocent Blood

And

Purchased For Us Eternal

In The Realms Of The Blessed In Heaven Above!

Praise The Lord ...

We Serve The All-Knowing

All-Seeing

Ever-Present

All-Feeling

Eternal God: He Knows The Answers! 

Let Us Wholly ... With Willing Obedience

And

Enduring Faith

Solely Lean On Him 

And 

Unwaveringly Trust Him 

So That We Will Be Eternally Blessed!

Our God, Holy, Cannot Lie!

Human Wisdom 

Is

Foolishness To Almighty God

And

Willfully Walking Wayward

Is

The Corrupt Way Of Fools

Those Who Use The Lord's Free Air

And

Deny His Love

Repulse His Presence

And

Reject The Knowledge That 

For Fallen Man

He Does Sacrificially Care!!

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

The Way Of The Lord

Is

Perfect!

Learning Along The Way + Prayer: Help Me, Lord!

In This My Life's Journey
I Have Learned Along The Way
That My God Has A Sense Of Humor
And That He Responds
No Matter What Unbelievers 
Uncharitably Say!

My God Cares For Me!
He Listens Intently To My Requests
And After All My Fits and Starts
He Gives To Me Of His Best!

PRAYER:

Oh,  Lord

Help Me To Trust You More

For You Give The Best Gifts 

Which Are Of Heaven's Stores!

Lord,

There Have Been So Many Times

When My Requests To You

Have Been Denied

BUT

I Have Learned My Lesson True

And I Make My Request

Having Bent My Will To Honor You!

Father, 

I Do Seek You True!

I Seek A Positive Answer From You!

Please Know That I Do Not Ask Amiss

For 

I Desire To Receive Your Promised Bliss!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Weigh My Trust In You

And 

Help Me To Faithfully Stand

In Front Of You

And

Not Fearfully

Behind Sinful, Mortal, Man!

Help Me, Lord

To Rest Secure 

In Jesus Christ's Faith

While I Am Awaiting 

The Sure Answers From 

Your Throne Of Grace!

I Love You, My Father.

AMEN.
