I Will Not Wait: I Will WAIT!

I Will Not Wait!

You Are Not Serious!
The Bible Says That Are To Wait Upon The Lord!
How Are You Reading The Scriptures!?!

May A Bit More Carefully Than You Are Presently!

What Do You Mean!?!

Just Like Here, Hair, And Hear Sound Alike 

And Mean Different Things
Wait Has Different Meanings!

Okay! I'm Listening!

What Does "Wait For Me!" Mean To You Guys!?!

It Means That I Am Stay Where I Am 

Until You Come To Join Me!

What Does "Wait On Me!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That I Should Not Do Anything 

Until You Give The Go Ahead!

I Say It Means That I Should Serve You!

What Does "They Are Wait Staff!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That "They" Are 

Duly Commissioned Servants!

Okay!
Now I Will Tell You What I Meant
When I Said I Will Not "Wait!"

I Will Not Wait Until There Is Trouble
To Seek The Lord In Prayer!
I Will Not Wait Until Sorrow Comes
To Hurry To The Lord's Side!
I Will Not Wait Until I Am Hungry
To Ask The Lord For My Day's Food
And
I Shall Most Assuredly Not Wait
Until The Storm Of Wind Appears
To Seek Shelter Under The Umbrella Of 

The Living God's Love!

There Is A Time And Place For Everything
And
Time And Chance Happens To Every Man
And
We Need To Understand
What The Word Means When It Says

 

What That Text Is Saying ... Simply
Is
They That Serve
Obey
Trust
Expect Something Of And From The Lord
In Consequence Of Faith ... Faithfully
Have The Promise Of The Blessed Life Now

And

The  Glorified Life
Heaven At The Last Trumpet:
Immortality
Incorruptibility
They Shall Have Wings
They Shall Fly
They Shall Live With Almighty God!

You Actually Got All Of That Out Of The Word Wait!?!

If He Got All That From Wait
I Can Imagine What Will Come Of Trust!

Ahhh, Trust!
A Beautiful Word That Says I'm

Taking Rest Under the Savior's Tent!

Whoa!! I Like That!

You Should!

Wait Is In Trust!
Trust Is In Wait!
Waiting And Trusting In Our God Holy
Will Not See One Repentant Sinner
Enduring Old Satan's Fate!

Trust ... Give Me A Loan
Trust ... I Believe The Word
Trust ... I Believe Who Gives The Word
Trust ... Security
Trust ... Dependency

Trust Is All About Confidence!

The Lord Asks Us To Give Him Our Faith
Our Trust
Our Hope
And
Wait Upon Him To Do For Us
All That He Has Promised!

We Are To Surrender Self
Suspend, Discard, Destroy Doubt
Live In Hope
And
Believe That He Is True ...!

... He Says That He Is The Truth!

He Says He Is The Word!

He Also Says That He Is The Way
The Light
The Life
The Good Shepherd
The Door
The Savior!

He Says He Is Our Peace!

He Says We Find Our Rest In Him!

Brethren, Since Jesus Christ Is All Things
To Every Man
In Every Place
At Every Time
What Do You Say ... Based On The Living Word
Do WE Wait
Do We WAIT
DO WE WAIT
On The Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!?!

I Will Wait On The Son Of God
While I Wait For The Redeemer Of Man To Come!

I Will Not Wait To Pray And To Plead
While I Wait For Direction
From Him Who Does My Body And My Soul Feed!

I Will Wait In Hope
Trusting Him Through Trials!

I Will Not Wait In Fear Uttering Platitudes
And Spewing Unwarranted Denials!

I Will Wait And Watch And Work!
I Will Not Wander Away! 

I Will Wait In Obedience
On The Wonderful Counsellor
The Mighty God
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Me His Peace
Which Passes Human Understanding
And
I Shall Rest Under His Wings
Until He Gives Me Wings Of My Own
Strong Enough To Bear Me Up
As I Follow Him In That Day
Wheresoever He Goes!

Brethren,

Wait Does Not Mean Do Nothing!
Wait Has Weight

And

Our Wait Requires That We Work!

Waiting On The Lord Is A Worthy Commission

So

I Will Wait! 

I Will Also 

Work As I'm Taught

By Him!

And

I Will Also

 Watch As I Trust 

In Him!

 

For Whom Did Jesus Christ Die?! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Send Help!

Satan
- The Bold Fraud -

Has

The Best Advertising Ever Bought:

Purchased-By-Sin Humans
Who
Tell Outright Lies
Execute False Oaths
Practice Half-Truths
And
Indulge In Evasions And Vacillations
For
Fleeting Fame And Fortune
And
Their Attendant

 Tenuous Hold

Access Reach
And
Grasp!

I Have Heard
Some Pretty Interesting Excuses For Sin
In My Time
BUT
This One Absolutely
Has To Take The Cake:

Just Because
The Living God
Who Gives Gifts Unto Men
Gave An Individual
The "Voice Of An Angel"
"To Bless Mankind With Its Beauty"
He Or She Is "Free"
To Indulge In An Accursed Lifestyle
Just Because Of ... The Gift!

Lord,
Please Protect Us
From
Our Gross Folly!

The Questionable Comment
Went So Far As To Intimate That
He Who Sins Because Of His Fleshly Desire
Sins Because 
"They Are Made That Way!"
AND
The Eternal God Has To Save Them
AND
They Can't Be Lost
Because God Himself Gifted Them
Their Phenomenal Gift
AND
The Gift
Is What Is Their Protection
From The Coming Wrath Of God!

I Thought Jesus Christ Was Our Protection!

If This Argument Holds "True"
The Liar ... Born
Thief ... Born
Murderer ... Born
Adulterer ... Born
AND
Gross Sinner ... Born
Can NOT Benefit From
God's Paid For By Blood
Saving Grace
Through Faith!

Ergo ... 

JESUS DIED FOR NOTHING!

PRAYER:

Father,
Jesus Saves
And
Saves To The Uttermost
But

Satan Is Colorfully Sending The World

The Lying Word

That

Your Ambassadors Have Failed
And
Are Failing

In The Great Commission
Because There Is No Commission!

Father,
Satan Wants You
To Shut Down
Your Grace Unto Salvation Shop

And

Is Telling All Who Will Listen
Because They Are Beguiled

That

Jesus Died For Absolutely Nothing

Because

Man Cannot Not Sin

And

That You Will Save All Man

In Sin

And

Not

Out Of Sin!
Perish The Great Lie!

In Jesus Christ's Name

Please Send Heavenly Help!

Pour Out Your Holy Spirit

And

Grant Us Your Grace

For

Honest Men's Feet Are Dragging

And

The Power Of The Word

Is Spoken Of

As Abyssmally Weak!

Lord, Lift Us Up!
Gird Up Our Loins!
Firm Our Resolve!
Strengthen Our Faith
And
Our Hands
And
Grant Us Daily Faith And Grace
And
Courage
For Walking Right
On The Straight And Narrow Way!

Help Us, Father

For We Do Truly Love You

And

Believe Your Holy Word
And
Desire To Do The Work
You Have Given Unto Us To Do!

Save Us
For We Do Your Loving Favor Seek!
Have Mercy
For Only You Can
And, Please
Let Your Holy
Your Immutable Word
Eternally Stand!

Deny The Liar
His False-Oath Victory
And
Please Come Soon
Letting The Blood-Bought
Thankful Church
- In Glorious Victory -
Triumphantly Stand
In The Presence
Of
The Holy Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!
We Worship You
And
Give You All Our Grateful Praise!

AMEN.

The Great Commission + PRAYER: Lord, I Crave Your Blessing

God Gave Me Seeds To Sow!
Someone Else Will My Seeds Water!
The Holy Spirit Will Give The Increase
So That My Seeds Will Have
Sons And Daughters!

My Seed-Children
Will Have Seed-Children Of Their Own!
Some May Die A-borning!
Some Will Land On Fertile Soil
Letting All Upon The Earth Know
That The Kingdom Of God
Is Hell's Gates
A-Storming!

I Do Not Know
How Many Generations Of Seed-Children
I Will Beget
For
That Is In The Hands Of God Almighty
Against Whose Power No One Can Bet!
My Task Is To Believe
AND
Do The Work I Receive
So That God Gets All The Glory
For His Will
Will Be Achieved!

God Has Given Precious Promises Unto Man
AND
I Choose To Believe Them
For
These Promises Came
At The Cost Of The Life
Of The Beloved Christ
King Jesus Sweet
So That The Obedient
The Trusting
The Faithful
The Enduring
Will Leave This Earth Forever
In The Chariots Of God
That Don't Rely On Running Feet!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Crave Your Blessing

Upon The Work You Ordained

That I Should Do!

Help Me To Do It Faithfully

Giving Honor

Praise And Glory

Unto You!

Help Me

Not To Rely On Man's Approbation

To Dictate What To Do

What To Write

What To Say!

Let My Will Into Your Will

Be Enfolded

So That I

Willingly

May Be Instructed

Directed

Ordered

By Only You

Each And Every Day!

Let My Faith

In My Jesus

Be Set Firmly!

Let My Courage Not Waffle

In The Winds Of Strife

And

Let Not Sin Beset!

Let My Destination

The Heavenly Home

Be The Breath That I Breathe

And

Let Your Holy Spirit

Be

The Only Spirit

Unto Whom I Will Cleave!

Father,

May Your Holy Angels Ever Surround!

Let Not Disappointments

Cause Me To Frown!

Let Faith

Grace

AND

Mercy Attend My Way!

Let Hope Hold My Heart!

Let The Light Of The Coming Christ

Shine

Even If It Is In A Prison Cell

Or A Forest Retreat

Where I Must At Night Sleep!

Lead Me Home

In The Name Of Jesus Who Saves!

Oh, Lord

Lead Thou Me

Victoriously

On!

AMEN.

*********

I Will Walk

In Wisdom

Come What May

Trusting In My Jesus Every Day!

Heaven Is My Home

And

Thank God

I Don't Walk Alone

For An Angel Guard Surrounds Me

And I Pray!

I Am Not The Potter!

I Am Not The Potter!
I Am In His Hands Just Clay
To Be Molded
According To His Direction
To Be A Vessel
To Be Used
As He
My Molder-Maker
Knowledgeably Says!

I Must Be Placed
In The Fire Of Affliction
To Be Tested
Tempered
And
By God
Tried
To Make Me A Worthy Vessel
To Make My Lord's Heart With Me
Satisfied!

Each Day
I Must Expend Effort
Show Discipline
Be Willing To Engage In Self-Sacrifice
AND
I Must
Through The Aid Of The Holy Spirit
Keep Faith Working
Even As The Spirit 
Teaches Me
Guides Me
AND
Even Chides!

I Must Not Permit Defects
Previously Unknown
In My Character
To Cause Me To Give Up
The Lord
In Shame And Despair
For
The Lord Who Sent Me On My Mission
Can
Any Defects In My Character
Lovingly Repair!

Love
Trust
Belief
Faith
AND
Obedience
Will Take Me
From Quite Wrong To Quite Right!
I Must Therefore Honor
The Master Molder-Maker
AND
In His Tender Ministrations
For My Eternal Good
Take
Patient Delight!

Almighty God
The Master Molder-Maker
Gave Good Gifts Unto Men
So Let Us Bless God
By Using Our Gifts
To Further The Work Of His Kingdom
AND
Not For Making Rifts!

Almighty God

Does Not - Cannot - Will Not

Make A Useless Person

So

There  Must Be Something In Us

That The Lord Can Use

Or

He Would Not Have Made Us

And

Be Willing To Remake Us

IF

We 

His Blessed Salvation

Accept!

Brethren

Let Us Use Our Remolding

To Bring The Lost Souls In!

HAPPY SABBATH + Dying To Live ... With The Lord!

I Listened To  A Sermon
Recently
That Made A Big Impression On Me!
It Was Of A Son Mother Apostle
Who Had Prior Long-Range Knowledge
Of The Coming Death
Of A Beloved's Body!

The Son
He The Savior
He The Sure Word
Knew Of His Own Death
Before He Even Created The World
And,  Yet
Despite This Fore-Knowledge
Despite His Being All-knowing Wise
He Still Created
The Instrument Of His Own Demise!

And, Indeed ...

At The Appointed Time
He Was Vilely Crucified!

The Creature Crucified Its Creator!
The Creator Stood Not In The Creature's Way!
The Created Was Consumed
With The Creator's Death
AND
Thereby Sealed Its Own Doom!

But ...

That Is Not My Point!

A Mother Gave Birth To Her Son
Her Own Soul's Savior
And Met In The Temple
A Prophet
On The Eighth Day
Who, Holding The Blessed Child
In The Mother's Hearing
Did Prophecy
How In The Distant Future
The Mother's Son Was Going To For The World Die 
Thrusting A Sword Through Her Heart 
And Making Her Cry
For She Would Know That Her Heaven-Sent Baby
Was Born To Die!

How Did She Have The Heart
To Nurse 
Comfort 
Raise 
Teach Her Boy Baby
Knowing He Was Born To Die 
But Knowing Not The Day Of His Death!

But ...

That Is Not My Point!

The Disciple
Turned Apostle
In An Epistle
Declared His Love For His Lord!
He Even Cut Off The Ear Of The High Priest's Servant
The Night They Came To Arrest 
His Master Savior 
Teacher Friend 
The Lord!

Just Before The Disciple Became An Apostle
Just Before The Master Returned To Realm 
Where He Is Our High Priest 
AND
Coming King
The Friend To The End
Told The Friend Born Of Mere Men
The Manner In Which He Would Reach His Life's End!

Lord Almighty!
The Weight Of The Burden!
To Know That You Are Going To Die
For The Cause Of Your Risen From Death
And Soon Departing Master
And Knowing It Will Be In Your Old Age
But Not Knowing The Year Day!
How Does One Proceed To Live
When Having Reached
The Prophesied Old Age?

That Bombastic
Lord Denying
Repentant
Renewed
Christ-commissioned Apostle
Knew Of A Surety
Death ... Is Coming
Any Day
His Way
AND
He Lived Out The Great Commission
Doing Exactly What His Master Had Told Him
On That Fateful Day!

Simon?!
Do You Love Me?

Lord, You Know I Love You!

Feed My Lambs!

Simon?!
Do You Love Me?

Lord,  You Know I Love You!

Feed My Sheep!

Simon?!
Do You Love Me?

Lord, You Know Everything!
You Know I Love You!

Feed My Sheep.

Commissioned
Provisioned
Prepared
Broken
Remade
Declared
Simon Called Peter
Walked Among The Human Herd
And, Of It
Culled
A Flock
Fit For His Master
Sustained
By The Love Of His Lord!

Simon Peter
Had His Lot In With His Lord Cast 
Knowing Full Well
Any Day
Today
Could Be His Very Last!

He Didn't Travel Around
Waiting
For A Talking Ass
To Tell Him
His End Was Coming Up Fast!
He Lived Each And Every Day
As If Each Was The Last

AND ...

One Day
Don't You Know
He Was... RIGHT!

The Love Of God

Sustains Us

When Mankind's Chains

Restrain Us!

No Complaints

Will Come Out Of Us

For

Our God Goes Before Us

And

Is Always Assuredly With Us!

*********

All Committed Christians 

Stick

To Their Appointed Task!
