Trust The Living Word: Put Satan On Trial!




Whether We Choose To Believe It Or Not
We Have An Unreliable Narrator In The Person Of Satan
The Devil
The Dragon
The Piercing Serpent Aka The God-Fraud! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise ... For Your Own Self! 

Satan Tells All Willing To Hear Him 
That The Living God Is Unfair
That There Is No Victory Over Sin
That The Lord Will Save All Human Beings
That Dead People Watch Over And Talk To The Living
That Sunday Is Sacred
That Man Is ImmortalThat There Is No Devil And No Hell
And 
That There Is No Need To Grow In Grace 
Because 
We Will Be Sinners Until The Day We Physically Die
And 
That A "Little Creature" Called A Soul 
Jumps Out Of The Then-Dead Body 
And 
Floats Up To Heaven 
To Direct Almighty God's Traffic Up There 
For The Benefit Of The Gullible Down Here! 

Let's Get Real! 

Lucifer Nka Satan Got Thrown Out Of Heaven, For Cause
So He Has A Hidden Agenda! 

The Lord Christ 
Is 
In Heaven 
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding For His People
And 
His Plan Of Salvation For Us 
Is 
Open And On Public Display
And 
Is Actively Working! 

Who Are You Going To Believe!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Discovery 
Is 
Always Big Doings In Every Court Case! 

Dare To Put Satan On Trial 
Via The Living Word Of God Your Creator 
And 
See Whose Words And Works Are Reliable Aka Trustworthy! 

The Truth ... Jesus Christ The Lord ... Was Executed 
And 
Still Lives! 

Do The Math! 

Peace!

Working Wings And Staying Power!







There Is Not A Single Human Being 
Who Does Not Desire A Carefree 
Painless
Joy-Filled
Comfortable Existence! 

Problem Is That 
Desire And Reality Don't Walk The Same Line! 

Even In The Household Of Faith 
Where The Members Are Heading Toward
 The Realm Of The Forever-Blessed
Trouble Is On Every Side 
But
With A Significant Difference! 

Beloved, 

As A Child Of The Great King
Trouble For Us Places Us In The Arena Of 
Growth In Grace 
Where Mercy For Me And Thee 
Is 
Ever In Attendance Doing Yeoman Service! 

Absolutely Nothing Happens To The Child Of God
Without The Lord's Knowledge 
And 
Consent 
And
We Will All Do Ourselves A Favor 
To Remember And Accept 
That All Things Work For Our Good
That We Are Not Alone
That The Holy Spirit Is Our Comforter
That We Are Protected By Holy Angels Excelling In Strength 

And

Our Father Hears And Answers Our Prayers 
Even If The Answer 
Is 

"No! 
Don't Ask Again! 
My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee!"


Remember, Dear Ones, That 
You Must Go Through 
To Come Through! 

Put Another Way
Bread-Dough Risen Won't  Cook-Through 
And 
Hold Its Shape
And 
Be Appetizing Smelling
And 
Delicious Looking 
Without Being In The Hot Box! 

Emerging From Struggle Aka The Heat Of Affliction
Produces Working Wings 
And 
Staying, Lifting, Carrying Power! 

We Must Be Tried In The Fire Of Affliction 
To Be Able To Then Live With Our God Almighty 
Who Is Consuming Fire 
In Glory-Land! 

Hold On! 

Peace!

TEMPTATION: You Know The Devil's Devices!







There Is No Sin In Being Tempted
But
There Is A Problem With 
Being Regularly Tempted By The Same Sin!

Falling Into Divers Aka Different Temptations 
Suggests Onward, Upward, Mobility In Our Christian Growth! 
All Christians Must Grow Up In Grace!

Beloved, 

Nobody Plans To Fall! 
Falling Happens When One Is Unaware Of A Pitfall
Is Careless About One's Surroundings 
Or One Just Loses One's Balance! 

We Are Warned Of The Devil's Devices 
And
We Know 
And 
Should Be Within The Hedge Of Protection That 
The Lord Provides For His People! 

When We Find Ourselves Being Tempted By 
And
Giving Into The Same Temptation 
And
Committing The Same Sin Repeatedly
We Need To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts
Look At Those With Whom We Are Walking
And
Reevaluate Our Commitment To Christ 
And
Our Growth In His Grace! 

The Temptation
That Is Not
Forcefully Resisted
The First Time That It Appears
Comes Back Harder And Harder To Resist
Each Time That We Fail To Overcome It!

Think Carefully ...

A Healthy And Fit Person Crawling Like A Baby 
Has A Problem Which Must Be Patiently Corrected 
And
Likewise The Christian Who Is Not Forcefully
Patiently, Prayerfully
Daily Conquering The Minor Temptations 
To Grow Strong Spiritual Muscles 
To Deal With The Major Temptations Known Up Ahead! 

Be Wise ... 

Don't Play With Temptation! 
Chop Off Temptation's Head By The Word Of Truth
And
Stay Constantly In Prayer:
Take Your Burden To The Lord
Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
Take The Living God At His Holy Word
And
Dare To Walk ... Enduringly ... In Unfailing Faith!
Jesus Christ ... Alone ... Saves!


Your Temptation
Is
Dressed To Thrill You!
Have A "Thus Saith The Lord"
At The Ready To Decimate It!

YOU OWN IT: Give The Lord Real Praise!






If We Look Closely
We See In This Text Ownership! 

Peace Belongs To The Lord: 
He Gives To Us A Gift Of His Peace! 
Praise Is Ours To Freely Gift To The Lord! 

Interesting Thing, Though
All That We Call Ours Comes To Us As Gifts From Our God 
So, In Truth And In Fact
What We Are Substantially Giving Back To Our Lord 
Is 
Gratitude! 

What The Lord Gives 
Is 
Given For Good! 
How We Choose To Use It ... By Our Free Will
Says An Awful Lot About What We Have Learned
- And Are Practicing - 
From This God Who Only Gives Good And Perfect Gifts 
To Bless Us! 

Giving Our God Praises Blesses Our God 
And
Blesses Us 
Because
By So Doing
We Are Rising Up Higher And Higher! 

Beloved, 

We Can't Fool The Lord! 

Feint, False, Praise 
Is 
An Abomination 
Because 
It Minimizes The Recipient 
And 
Brands Us As Deceitful 
And 
Untrustworthy
And 
Stagnant In Our Growing In Grace 
As Recipients Of Unmerited Favor! 

We Can't Earn The Lord's Favor 
And
We Can't Buy The Lord's Gifts 
And For Sure
We Can't Exchange The Lord's Good And Perfect Gifts 
To Receive Better From Another More Profitable Source! 
There Ain't None! 

Please Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Abundantly Lavish Praise Upon Our Lord And God
Savior, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend 
Like It Is Going Out Of Production 
And 
You Desire To Be The Last Giver Of Praise 
Left Standing At Power Down! 

Giving Praise To Our God Brings Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Sown Seed: Soil ... Soiled! + PRAYER: Help Us, Father, To Look Up!

In The Word Of God Is Life
But
It Is The Soil In Which It Is Received
That Determines
If
The Word
Is
Growing Life-Giving Seed
That Will Yield For The Lord Christ
The Holy Harvest!

How Do You Mean "If"
The Word Is Growing Life-Giving Seed!?
The Word Is God!

If
The Word Contains Life
And
The Word Is Seed
Then 
Nothing Is Wrong With The Seed Of The Word!

It Is 
Where 
It Falls From The Sower Of Good Seed's Hand!
It Is Not The Seed
But
The Soil
That Determines The Harvest Yield
Of The Son Of Man!

Cherished Sin
Self-Righteousness
Hollow Formalism
Attachment To Mammon
And
The Refusal To Suffer Loss Or Lack
Are Some Of The Soils
Found In The Hearts Of Men
And
Barren Land, My Brother
Will Never Yield A Crop!
Do You Ken!

Ken!?!

Understand.

Oh.

Rich Men
Poor Men
Beggar-Men Thieves
Religionists
Antagonists
Pacifists
Priests
High Born
Low Life
Bond Man
Free
All Have A Need That Can Only Be Met
By Obedient Self-Surrender
To Him Who Died
For Me And Thee!

The Rich Young Ruler Of 
Christ-Interview Fame
Longed For The Savior
But
His Fortune Power Authority
Had Him Tied Up In Chains
- Glittery Shining Tight Metal Chain -
So That
For All Of His Profession Of 
Holy God-Following Righteousness
He Was A Vain Idol-Worshipper
And That Even To A Blind Man
Was Right Plain!

Facing The Lord Christ
And
Bowing To Your Money
Hopeful Of Carnal Elevation
Is 
A State That Trips Up Many
Because
Almighty God Doesn't Do The Threesome Thing
Touted By The Pharisaic Clan
And
This, My Dear Brother
Is 
What Will Have Many Wailing
Outside The Gate To Life
Kicking On Lost-Opportunity
Blackened-Hope Burning Sand!

We Need To Trust The Living God
And
Go Where He Sends!
We Need To Lift Up The Fallen
And
By So Doing
We Will To The Eternal God Lend!

Repayment Is Assured!
And
Eternity's The Time!
The Coin Is The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness
And
The Payer's Hand
Is
The Hand Of The Lord God Holy 
Faithful True Kind Divine!

Alright, Then!
Let's Study!

Your Bible Or Mine!

Let's Not Be Sloths!
We Shall Mark Both
For Personal Study
Assures
True And Steady Christian Growth!

Indeed!
Anything That Denies Us Growth In Grace
We Must Loathe!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Come You
With Hearts Filled With Hope
And
Trust
And
We Ask You
To Help Us To Grow Up
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Nothing Wavering
Nothing Holding Us Back
To Cause Us The Holy Name To Disgrace!


Help Us To Look Up

To Walk Forward
And
Not To Stagnate
So That In The Day Of Judgment
We Won't Suffer Satan
And
Willful Sinners'
Prescribed And Just Fate!


Please Bless Us To Be Faithful

Enduring And True
And
To Lift High The Cross
Of
The Lord Jesus Christ
Because
It Is Our Desire
To Have Others Know The Word
The Word Who Is God
Who Dwelt Amongst
And
Who Showed Us How To Live Lives
That Are Pleasing In Your Holy Sight!

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Us
And
Direct Our Focus
So That Nothing That We Do
May Offend Thee!


We Love You, Lord 

And
We Ask These Few Mercies
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
Please Come Soon! 
AMEN.
