HAPPY SABBATH + "That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It!?!"

 









Beloved, 

Are You Amongst Those Who Love To Use That Catch-Phrase 
"That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It!" 
Until 
You Are Caught Dead To Rights 
Aka Found To Be A Liar By Plain Proof!?! 

Shouldn't We As Committed To Christ Christians Know That 
Unrepentant Liars Are Denizens Of The Dominion Of The Damned 
Who Will Not Be Permitted To Enter The Haven Of Rest!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let It Not Be Found Amongst Us That 
Our Default Position 
Is 
To Lie For Fun, Fame, Fortune, And Friends! 

Do Not Deceive Yourself Into Believing That 
Short-Term Advantage Is Best Acquired By The Lie 
Which Is The Language Of Satan! 

Also, Do Not Indulge That Devilish Preference 
To Be Comforted With A Lie 
Rather Than To Be Hurt By The Truth! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Think Long And Hard
And Long Again 
And 
Plead With The Lord For Help 
Before 
You Hot 'n Sweaty Lustfully Decide To Offend Almighty God 
By Telling The Euphemistic White Lie Of Convenience That 
Greases Satan's Putrid Palms! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Dare To Speak The Hard Truth At All Costs 
Because 
Jesus Christ Is The Truth 
And 
What Is Of Him Lasts Forever! 

The Truth Saves! 

Live In And For The Truth 
So That At The Appointed Time 
You Will Rise Up To Forever Live 
With Jesus Christ Our God And King! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Live In Hope!










Our Today Behaviors Will Impact Our Tomorrow Outcomes 
But
There Is Nothing That Is Done Today 
Which Will Change What Transpired Yesterday! 

Beloved, 

As Says The Scripture
Where There Is Life, There Is Hope 
So, Obviously, We Who Are Alive 
Should Take Pleasure In Living Our Lives With Hope
The Blessed Hope
Our Can't-Fail Hope In The Lord Jesus Christ 
Who Shall Come The Second Time In Blazing Glory 
As King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords 
To Receive Unto Himself 
All Who By Sacrifice Have Made Him Their Everlasting Portion! 

Dear Ones, 

Every Now-Alive Person 
Is 
Given One Day Aka Today, To Live Today: 
Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Created Being! 

We Are Given Today To See For Ourselves What Sin Is 
And 
What Sin Does 
And
The Opportunity To Choose Salvation Aka Life In Christ 
Which Offers To Us The Better Way To Live Now 
And
Eternal Guarantees Of Everlasting Life 
And 
Unsurpassed Glory In The Land Of No Night 
Where All Is Peace, Love, And Joy! 

We Are Not To Live Like Heathens And Dumb Animals 
Who Have No Hope! 

Our Hope Is In Our Lord God Jesus Christ 
Who Gently Calls Us 
And 
Warmly Invites Us To Believe Him At His Word 
And
Choose To Enter The Haven Of Rest! 

Beloved, 

No One But You May Make Your Eternal Decision For You: 
Keep Hope Alive 
And 
Live For Jesus Who, Alone, Saves And Seals Us 
By His Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 
Hope In God! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Help, Me Lord, To Live So That I Let Nothing Be Wasted!













PRAYER:

Father, 
With The Heart Of A Grateful Penitent
I Give You Thanks And Praise For All Your Blessings 
- Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown
Unexpected, And Unacknowledged - 
Lavishly Bestowed Upon Me This Day 
And, For Sure
Every Day Of My Life! 

I Love You, Lord
And
It Is Not Just For The Bread And Two Fishes That 
In Your Hand Will Always Feed The Multitude 
And
Leave Behind Food For Many More! 

Please Help Me To Live With The Mindset That 
Nothing Should Be Wasted
And
A Heart Filled With Compassion For Others
An
Hands Ready To Share To Others 
Out Of The Bounty That You Generously Provide To Me! 

Father, I May Not Always Like The Way That Life Goes
But
I Ask You To Help Me To Ever Remember That
If I Knew What You Know
I Would Wish To Be Led, Fed, Directed And Corrected
As You Ordain! 

Please Help Me To Never Embrace Pride
And
The Top-Lofty Spirit
Which Causes Us To Act As Though You Owe Us Something 
And
We Are Entitled To All That We Receive
And
More Beside! 

Please Help Me To Never Forget That
I Owe All That I Am And All That I Have
To Your Willing Sacrifice And Unending Love
In The Person Of Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me
And
Bless Me To Follow My Shepherd
The Good Shepherd
To Your Haven Of Rest For The Eternally Blessed! 
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Scrubbing Brushes, Chisels, Hammers, Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper!





The Lord Our God 
Does Not Make Idle Promises About 
Neither Sin Nor Salvation
Blessing Nor Rebuke
Heaven Nor Hell
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Must Not Minimize Or Place A Gloss Over 
The Plain Word That 
Proceeds From The Mouth Of The Almighty God 
By Indulging Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Disobedience! 

Let's Consider A Baby! 

A Baby Knows The Voice
The Taste
The Touch
The Smell 
And 
The Rhythm Of The Heart Of Its Mother
And 
In The Chaos Of The Noisy World 
Or Its Own Household
Baby Will Seek For 
And 
Find Care, Comfort, Rest
Refreshing 
And 
Peace 
In Its Mother's Arms! 

So, With That Said
What's Our Problem!?! 

The Lord Our God 
Is 
Our Creator 
Aka Father And Mother 
Who Cannot Forget Us 
Because 
Of The Richness Of His Infinite Grace
And 
Eternal Love! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent, Precious, Blood 
Purchased Our Redemption 
And 
We Are Called To Saving Faith 
- By His Daily Gift To Each Of Us Of 
A Measure Of His Faith -
By The Plain Truth 
To Willingly, Eagerly, Wholly,  Trust 
The Holy God Of Grace 
To Get Us Safely Home To Unending Glory! 

This World 
Is Not 
Our Forever Home
And
Our Problems Are But Scrubbing Brushes
Chisels, Hammers
Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper:
We Must Be Clean And Righteous Before Our Lord ... The Judge!

Beloved, 

We Have Free Will And Free Choice
So Let Us ... As Children Of The Great King
Choose To Walk In Enduring Faith 
And 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
Do Not Deny His Personally-Shown
Perfect Love For You!

The Lord Cannot Forget
His Very Own
Greatly-Beloved Children!

Book-It ...
 
Walking In The Truth Brings Peace: 
Be Comforted In Christ Jesus
Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
Who Is Our Haven Of Rest!


Rejoice In The Lord ... Of Life!

The Grace Of The Holy God: Called, Cleansed, Commissioned + PRAYER: We Repent, Lord!

Conscientious Surrender
Habit And Practice
Open Heart, Opposition To Truth
Principle, Pride
Doubt And Faith!

All The Big Guns ... As We Like To Say
Were In Attendance
Some To Listen
Some To Hear To Obey
And
One ... With His Other
To Indulge In Outright Games Play!

Truth Is Speaking Truth For The Day!
Truth Is Appealing To All
Not To Indulge In Gainsay
But
As To Be Expected With Souls Unregenerate
The Dynamic Duo
Pride And His Main Squeeze Doubt
Had A Lot To Say
To Interrupt
To Make Others Antsy
To Cause Them In Objection To Shout!

Truth Never Raised His Voice!
Truth Never Lost His Temper!
Truth Spoke The Truth For The Age
While Pride And Doubt Behaved
Like Dogs With Distemper!

True Christian Stood Up:
Grace On The Left
And
Mercy On The Right
And
Spoke With Holy Boldness
The Heart Of His Crowned King To Delight:

Pride, Be Quiet!
Doubt, You Are Shut Down:
You Have Nothing On Which To Stand Your Ground!

I Work My Faith In Jesus!
To Him, I Daily Give My Heart!
To Him, I Have Surrendered All
Completely, Totally 
Conscientiously, Confidently
And
You Will Not Cause Me To Repeat
The Reason For Man's Fall!

I Can No More Indulge False Pride!
I Can No More Set Heavenly Principles Aside!
I Will No Longer Be In Opposition To Dear Truth
And
By The Grace Of The Holy God
I Shall, By The Holy Spirit's Leading
Be An Inheritor Of Eternal Youth!

Brethren,

I Make My Steps To Jesus Every Day
And
I Encourage You All To Do Likewise:

Let Your Habits Be The Good Ones
And
Let Your Practice The Public Edify!

Jesus Christ Is The Captain!
The Holy Spirit Is My Comforter!
I Am Walking To Zion
And
I Know That There Will Always Be Green Pastures
Wherein I May Daily Feed
Because
The Captain, My Captain
My Jesus
Is 
My One True And Only Leader!

The Devil Is Damned
And
These Henchmen Of His Likewise
And
All Who Follow Him
Are Following The Lord Of The Dung Flies
Who Cannot Go Home To Glory
Because
He Is Lord Unto Himself
But I
I Am A Known Child Of
The Great And Glorious King
And
Praise Be To Jesus
On The Narrow Way, I Am Protected
As I Walk On To Surpassing Glory!

There Is Good News In The Great Gospel Story
And
We All Have A Work, For Our Savior, To Do!


PRAYER:

Father, Most Loving
I Worship And I Bless You!
Please Pity Me And My Kind
Even Those Who Are Gainsaying
Your Holy Words
Faithful, Kind, Loving And True!

Open Our Eyes, Lord!
Help Us To See Christ
He Who For Our Salvation
Suffered, Bled And Died!

Jesus Is At Your Right Hand!
Help Us Through The Eyes Of Faith
To See Him As He Is
Vested, Priestly
Our Only Intermediary
Making Supplication For Us Who Believe
So That We May Join Him In His Glory!

Pity Those Of Us, Father
Who Pray And Pray Day By Day
Pleading For Our Lord's Coming
The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
The Salvation Of Souls
The Commitment To Christ
And
The Plain Way To Safely Reach Home!

May The Holy Angels Continue To Protect Us
And
To Influence Us
To Do The Good And The Right!
May The Holy Spirit Continue To Guide
And
To Chide Us
Calling Us, Helping Us
To Make That One Decision For Eternal Life!

I Bless You, Lord, For The Blessings!
I Worship You, Lord, For Giving Unto Us Truth!
I Praise You, Lord, For Loving Us Wholly
And
For Making Places For Us
In The Mansions Of Rest
The Mansions Of The Blessed!

Lead, Kindly Light
For The Dark World Is Encroaching!
Lead Us, Good Shepherd
For You, Alone, Know And Make The Way!
Take Us To The Haven
Where There Is Rest And Sweet Peace
For The Weary
And
Help Us, Please Help Us
Our Known Sins Always Diligently To Confess!

We Repent, Lord
So Forgive Us Our Trespasses Against You
The Holy God
In Jesus Christ's Dear Name I Pray!
I Love You, Lord!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + God Almighty Broadcasting Network + PRAYER: Keep Us Faithful, Father!





God Almighty Broadcasting Network
All Jesus
All Day
All Night
No Interruptions
No Gimmicks
No Lies
Broadcasting Holy Light For The Saints!



You Are Not Dear, Satan!
You May Obstruct Almighty God's Word 
On The Computer Or Cell Phone
But
What You Seem Not To Remember Or Understand
Is That My Father God 
Is 
Not Fallible Like You And, Of Course, Fallen Man!

Almighty God's Word 
You Can Attempt To Obstruct On Man-Made Devices
But
Like Water
The Living Word Of Truth Finds Its Own Level
And
Though You Break Up Fractions To Bedevil Seeking Man
Almighty God's Word 
- His Preserved Word -
Which Cannot Return To Him Void
Will Accomplish The Eternal God's Will In Man!

Almighty God Said That His Word Will Reap A Harvest!
You Can't Reap If There Was No Planted Seed
And
Since The Living God Has Ordained That 
His Word
His Seed
Will Acquire His Prophesied Gain
Don't You Know That You Should Retire
And 
Accept That You Have Lost
And
Are Lost
And 
All Your Efforts Are In Vain!?!

The Eternal God's Word 
Is 
By The Eternal God Protected!
You Can't Stop It From Moving Around!
It Shall Circumnavigate The Earth
And
It Shall Be A Witness
And, Then
The End
- The End Of All Things -
Shall Come!

Heads, Up!
At That Time
You
Your Befouling Curtain
And
Your Kingdom
All Are Going To Burn
- All The Way To Dust -
Burn Down!

Do Your Damnedness!
You Are Damned!
Nothing Can Save You
You Killed The Savior Jesus
Who Died To Save Me ... MAN
And
Since He Now Ever-Lives
To Make Intercession For Me
I Have Whole-HeartedlyTaken Him For My Portion!

Too Bad For You That
You Had No Such Notion!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Thank You For The Living Word
The Word Of Truth
That Brings Light And Is Life!

Thank You For The Blessed Sacrifice 
Of The Holy Jesus
By Whose Precious Blood
I Am Cleansed And Preserved
Unto Eternal Life!

Help Me, Dear Father
Each And Every Day
In Every Which Way
To Say With Finality
To The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Adversary Of Men's Souls:

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!
You Have No Part In Me!
Jesus Christ Is My Savior
My Redeemer
He Paid My Price!
Heaven At The Last Trumpet
Is My Soul's Goal!
I Belong To The Safe-Sheep Fold!

I Lean On You, Dear Father!
I Shelter In The Shade Of Your Wings!
I Stand On The Rock Of Ages!
I, On The King Of Love, Cling!

Help Me To Walk Softly In The Sanctuary!
Help Me To Keep A Zion Song In My Heart!
Help Me To Never Forget Calvary!
Let The Holy Spirit Find A Welcoming Home
In My Heart!

Remember The Faithful Everywhere!
Remember Those Coming To Faith!
Remember Those Who Mourn Today!
Remember The Meek And The Lowly!
Remember Those Who Soul-Salvation Seek
And
Provide For Us All According To Our Need!

Keep Us Faithful, Father!
Help Us To Glean The Victory Over Sin
And
Help To Stay Working, Waiting And Watching
And
At The Appointed Time
Take Us Home Safely To The Haven Of Rest
Because
It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That 
We Pray And Humbly Plead!

I Love You, Lord!
Have Mercy And Forever Bless!
AMEN.

Never Again To See Strife!

The Son Of Man
IS
The Son Of God ... FIRST
AND
It Is He
Who Created The Stellar Universe!

The King Of Love
IS
Love ... FIRST
AND
It Is He
Who Will Love Us Out From Under The Curse!

The Good Shepherd
IS
The Lamb Slain ... From The Foundation Of The Earth
AND
It Is He
Who Paid With Innocent Blood To Have Man's Curse Reversed!

The Prince Of Peace
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Blessing God
The Merciful One Who Gives Saving Grace
IS
The Very One
From Whom We Get Faith
To Have Faith In Him
AND
He Is The One
Who Took My Disgrace (Yours, Too)
To Give Me In Almighty God's Heaven
A Sure And Secure
Personal Dwelling Place!

I Long To See Your Face, Lord!
Lovely, You Are To Me!
I Long To Touch Your Hand, Lord!
You Who Made Humanity!
I Long To Get Home To You, Lord
The Designer
Creator ... Supreme
So That I
Dead To Carnal Life
And
Living To See Eternal Life
May Rise Up To Live With You
In Perfect Peace
For All Eternity
Never Again To See Strife!


Holy Is The Almighty God!
He Is Faithful ... Unlike The Marauding Fraud!
He Is The Helpful And The Giving, Blessing God
AND
Where He Is
Is My Home
AND
He Is My Heart's Treasure
The One For Whom I Turn From Earthly Pleasure
Because
I Desire To Be Like Jesus The Christ
AND
With Him
- In His Haven Of Rest -
Live Together Forever!

Jesus Christ Always Saves!

My Maker Made Me Man
My God Is Of Ages Past The Rock On Which I Firmly Stand
My Father Owns Earth And Heaven
AND
I Don't Smoke Crack Nor Sniff Beer Cans!

My Real House Is A Heavenly Mansion
My True Conveyance Is Angel Wings
My Groceries Come From Heaven's Storehouse
AND
If Left To My Own Devices
I Shall From The Sting Of Sin Die
AND
Never Ever Breach The Eastern Sky!

My Granny Ma 
Indulged The Piercing Serpent In Small Talk
And By So Doing
Into Deception She Did Walk!
My Grand Papi Did Truly Love Her Companionship
AND
From The Path Of Obedience
Did Jump Ship
Because He Did Not Her Decry
And In So Doing
Disobeyed The Creator
And Ate The Fruit Called Forbidden
And Ever Since Then
My Family Has Been Suffering From
The Results Of The Subtly Conceived
Crafty Delivered
AND
Willingly Believed Bold Lie!

The Great Creator Of Us Called Human
- In Bible Speak, Man -
Uttered The Curse
Which Caused Man
From The Eden Home Garden
His Presence To Reverse!

It Deeply Hurt To See The Angel
With Everwhich Way Turning Sword
Barring Access To The Rest Home Garden
AND
The Tree That Gives Life!

But, God Be Praised For The Blessing ...

Our Life Would Have Been Forever Over
Were It Not For The Little Berry Big
Called Certain Hope
That The Savior, A Lamb
- Though Getting His Heel Bitten -
Would Give Relief
- A Way To Redemption -
By Crushing The Head Of The Adversary
The Serpent
The Dragon
The Raging Lion
The Judas Goat!

See, Here ...

It Is Fair To Say That Mami And Papi Adam Did Sin!
It Is Fair To Say That The Adversary Is Our Kind Stalking!
It Is Fair To Say That The Savior Is My Kind Calling
AND
It Is Fair To Say That
As To The Right Choice
Many Of My Kind
Are At The Making Of The Decision
Curiously Balking!

Mark This ...

Doing Good Gets Man Gain!
Doing Evil Gets Man In Fire Water Permanently Slain!
Trusting
AND
Obeying  The Creator
Gets One The Title Of Commended Saint
BUT
Trusting The Adversary
Gets One The Title Condemned Sinner
Profane!

Of Note ...

Around The Saints Are Agents Of Brer Liar The Goat
Avidly Doing The Damage Of The Hungry Stoat
Who Cares Not What The Size Of Its Prey May Be
But Is Just Grateful That It Has Warm Blood
And The Morsel  Called Meat Tasty!

But ... Harken

Ye Saints Who Trust
In The Certain Hope Given!
The Serpent Bit Your Savior
That Innocent Lamb's Heel
When
On Calvary He Was Riven
BUT
Bless God
- Father Son Holy Ghost -
The Lamb Crushed The Serpent's Head
When On The Third Day
He
From Death's Cruel Hold
Had Triumphantly Risen!

Let It Therefore, Now, Be Known
That I, Human
Am No  Follow-Pattern Clone!
I Get On My Private-Line Prayer-Phone
AND
I Call Father God
In The Name Of God The Son
- My Only Savior -
Now Seated On The Right Hand On The Eternal Throne!

I Get No Busy Signal
No Answering Service
No Shunted Call!
I Get The One
Who Listens To Me
Gladly
When I, Repentant
Confess To Behaving Badly!

I Call Just Because!
I Call Just To Shoot The Breeze!
I Call To Hold Consultation
AND
I Call
Just To Hear His Voice!
I Give A Good Listen!

I Call The Rock
- Who Is The Shepherd, A Wonder
Who Works As The Great Physician
The Author
The Finisher
Who Owns And Operates The Haven Of Rest
For Those Passing The Stress Test
Which Requires Sin To Be Repented Of 
Confessed
AND
Not Cherished
As The Thing Over Which We Are Obsessed -
My Master!

Remember This!
It's A Public Secret ...

The Haven Of Rest
Has Room
For All Those Who
- In The Working Faith
Born Of Obedience 
To The Creator's Will To Make Fallen Man's Life
A Standing Blessing -
Have Given Up
Nose Candy
Revolving Bedrooms
Putrid Affections
Making And Loving Lies
Vertical And Horizontal Trading In Flesh
Sorcery
Fear
Unbelief
Murder
AND
Idolatry!

The Best Part Of The Secret ...

Getting Victory!
Victory Over Sin!
Victory Over Death!
Victory Over Hell!
Victory Over The Grave!

A N D

Gaining
Eternal Life WITH The Savior
Plus A New Name
AND
Gold Gold Gold
As In
Gold Harp
Gold Crown
Golden Streets To Walk Upon
Angel Companions
AND
WINGS!

There IS Also The Welcome Home Feast
The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb
To Eagerly Look Forward To!
Garments Are By The Host Provided!

This GRAND AND GLORIOUS Occasion
Is. Not. To. Be. Missed!
Save The Date!
Better, Yet
Give Your Appointment Book To The Lord Jesus!


Jesus Christ
Will Always Save
Because
He Paid Our Bride Price
With His Own Blood
And
He, Himself, Got Up
And
Rose Up To Heaven
From The Grave
And
Is In The Most Holy Place
Of
The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding
For The Beloved
So That We, Willing
Will Have
Life Everlasting
Nevermore
To Sin To Be The Hobbled Slave!
