HAPPY SABBATH + ASK!

As Christians

We Should Always Seek Knowledge! 

As Committed To Christ Christians

We Should Know To Ask - With Fervent Prayers - For Help 

To Diligently Seek After The Desires Of A Heart For Christ 

With Unwavering Faith

And 

To Knock - With Glorious Praise Known True - Upon 

The Throne Of Grace Of The Good And Kind King 

Who Invites His People, His Children

To Let Their Requests Be Made Known Unto Almighty God! 

Beloved, 

We Who Are The Apple Of His Eye 

Have The Open Ear

The Strong And Extended Everlasting Arm

And 

The Shelter That Is The Covert Of His Wings 

At Our Full Disposal! 

What A Mighty God We Serve 

Who Has The Unchallenged Power To Save 

And 

The Sovereign Will To Seal All Who Are His Very Own! 

Oh, That We Would Truly, Humbly, Use 

Our Open Access To Divinity 

To Close Ourselves Off From The Indignity That Is Sin 

Which Leads To The Calamity That Is Damnation! 

Dear Ones, 

ASK Aka Accept Sin's Killer 

In The Glorious Presence Of Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

ASK Aka Adore Salvation's King 

In The Divine Presence Of Our Beloved Shiloh

The Prince Of Peace! 

We Have Divine Access 

Which Allows Us To Have And To Hold 

That Which Is Holy And Undefiled! 

Ask, In Accord With The Will And Ways Of Our Heavenly Father

For Your Blessing Which Brings No Sorrow With It ... Right Now! 

Peace!

ALMIGHTY GOD SEES YOU: Certificate Of Character!?!

 

Old Man! 

New Man! 

Almighty God Sees You!

 

What Is In Your Earthly Certificate Of Character!?! 

Do You Know That You Need 

A "Certificate Of Character" 

To Get Into The Everlasting Kingdom!?! 

Do You Know That You Cannot Purchase 

A Black-Market Certificate Of Character 

For The Heavenly Realm 

Because

By Your Own Hand Aka Life

With Your Own Words

You Will Be "Writing" Your Own Character Reference!?! 

How Do You Like Them Apples!?! 

Does This Knowledge Make You Want To 

Straighten Up And Fly Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Think! 

Would You Let You Into Heaven 

Based On Your Present Thoughts, Words, And Deeds!?! 

If You Were Being Considered For A Position 

With A Top Secret Clearance 

And 

The Secret Service Agents Came To You 

To Ask You For A Reference For Yourself

Would You Recommend Yourself As Wise

Understanding

Alert To Time And Place

Competent, Kind, Caring

True, Efficient, Proficient

Professional, Trust-Worthy

Personable, Temperate

Enduring, Giving, Forgiving, Good

Helpful, Hope-Filled, Faithful

Nurturing ... Christ-Like!?! 

Are You Able To Say "Yes!" With A Straight Face!?! 

Please Never Forget That 

Your Attitude Affects Your Altitude 

Both In The Realm Of Flesh 

And

In The Spiritual Realm! 

Please Put Off Your Old Man-Character 

And 

Put On Your New Man In Christ: 

No Created Being Can Stop The Heart For Christ 

From Soaring To The Realms Now Marked As Unknown! 

Dare To Be Like Our Lord Jesus! 

Pray And Press On! 

Peace!

Bitterness Of Heart!?!

Bitterness In Your Heart 

Is 

Like A Volcano ... Simmering ... Building Strength ...

Finding Stress Points ... Rumbling Warnings ... 

Dribbling Spittle ... Until The Unhinged, Gargantuan Explosion ... 

Which Leads To Self-Immolation 

Aka Self-Destruction 

Aka Death By Self! 

Beloved, 

Bitterness Of Heart 

Is 

One Of The Most Destructive Forces 

Known To Mankind! 

Interestingly Enough

That Bitterness Leads To Destruction 

In Two Disparate Ways! 

Bitterness In The Bold Sinner 

Encourages Them To Embrace Satan's Sophistries 

Aka Lies And Deceit! 

Bitterness In The Heart Longing For The Lord Christ 

Leads The Sinner-Saved To Humble Themselves

And 

Pray

And 

Seek The Lord

And 

Turn From Known Wicked Ways

And 

Choose ... To Cast Their Heavy Burden 

On Their Loving Lord Jesus ... And Leave It There

Because 

They Personally Know That Jesus Christ Loves 

And 

Cares For Them As His Very Own Peculiar Treasure! 

End Result!?! 

With Satan The Adversary: 

Self-Destruction!

Damnation! 

With Jesus Christ The Savior: 

Destruction Of Bitterness 

And

Construction Of The Sweet Spirit

The Gentle Spirit

Against Which There Is No Law 

Aka Heaven In The Heart! 

Think About It! 

Peace Is Precious: 

Peace Be Unto You! 

Sing Unto God!

DARKNESS CONDEMNS: Walk Peacefully ... Into The Light Of Life!

The Elders Always Used To Tell Us That 

You Could And Buy Land 

But 

You Can't Hide And Reap It: 

They Stood On The Solid Ground Of Living Truth! 

Beloved, 

Walking In The Light Of Almighty God's Truth

- The Light Of Life -

Is 

Our Sure Defence Against Those Who Seek 

To Unleash The Winds Of Strife 

Against Those Of Us Who They Disdain, Envy

Fear Or Just Plain Hate! 

Let Us Have Pity Upon Such Persons 

For They Do Not Realize That When You Sow The Wind 

You Shall Surely Reap The Whirlwind Aka The Judgment 

Which Destroys Everything In Its Path 

Be It Human, Animal, Plant, Or Building! 

Let Us Daily Remind Ourselves 

Never To Follow Friend, Family Or The Surging Crowds 

To Indulge In Activities Which Our Lord Christ Cannot 

And 

Will Not Bless 

No Matter How Much We Say "Lord, Lord!" 

And 

Sing Psalms, Hymns, And Spiritual Songs 

And 

Do Great Works Of Charity! 

If You Haven't Made A Human

Please See To It, By God's Great Grace, That 

You Do Not Raise Up Either Your Hand Or Your Voice 

To Destroy One! 

Do Not Dig Graves To Bury Others 

And 

Do Not Create Slippery Slopes 

The Likes Of Which You Shall Surely Fall Upon! 

Keep Your Eyes So That They Reflect The Light Of Glory 

And 

Keep Your Heart Fixed On Jesus Christ The Righteous

Who, Alone, Saves ... The Willing! 

Do Not Permit The Contrary Whispers In Your Ears 

To Egg You On To Do Evil! 

Dare To Walk Wisely 

And 

Humbly In The Light That Leads To Eternal Life: 

Darkness Condemns And Damns! 

Choose, Always, To Be At Peace With Almighty God! 

Weeds In The Garden ...!

Weeds Don't Grow In Almighty God's Garden!

Do, Too!

Do Not!

Actually, We All Come To Jesus Christ As Weeds
And
Believing The Transformative Word Of Truth
We Deny The Liar's Nature
Take The Plunge Into The Cleansing Flood Of Baptism
Rise Up Into The Newness Of Life
Take The Extended Hand Of Fellowship Of The Faithful
Read The Word Daily 
Pray Intimately, Instantly, Constantly
Obey The Heavenly Commands
Go On Heavenly Errands
And
Grow Where We Are Planted
By Staying On God's Garden's Pathway To Eternal Life!

Oh, And You May Depend
On The Holy Spirit's Infusion
For Teaching, Direction And Correction
And
You May Depend On The Caretaker's Holy Angels' Influence 

For Your Good And For Your Protection!

And Best Of All ...

And Ever Always
The Landscape Designer
The Creator-God Is Here
Speaking
Listening
Guarding Guiding
Giving Grace
Pouring Out Mercy
Extending Salvation
Hearing Our Confession
Accepting Our Repentances
Healing Us With Forgiveness
Comforting Us With Hope
Blessing Us With Peace
And
Abiding With Us As We Rest!

Truth Is ...

It's Amazing What Jesus Christ Can Do
When A Weed Acknowledges That He Has A Need!
When A Weed Acknowledges That Life As A Weed Is A Mess!
When A Messed-Up Weed, Called
Ups And Confesses
And
Repents Of Known Sin
And
Asks For The Infilling Of The Holy Spirit
And
The Blessing Of Heaven
To Be Transformed By The Power Of Almighty God
Reformed By The Love Of God
And
Remade In The Working Faith Of Christ Jesus
And
Accepted Into The Fellowship Of
The Suffering, Loved, Loving, Servant
Reaches Out To Other Outdoor Weeds
Telling Them That Time Is Running Out
That Time Will Soon End
And
Pleading With Them To Run For The Crown
Because
It Is Almost Time For The Last Trumpet To Sound!

Wisdom For The Wise Is ...

The Glorious King Will Soon Come
And 
All Who Are Planted
In The Garden Of God
Having Endured The Fight Through 
The Frost Of Evil
The Blight Of Sin
And
The Dread And Decimating Drought Of The Damned Devil
Will Be Happily Transplanted
To Almighty God's Eternal Home!

Don't Forget To Tell Them
To Keep Their Eye On The Eastern Sky
And Their Garments Washed ...!

... And Their Hearts Ready
For Soon
- Rid Of That Horrible Beast -
We Shall Enjoy A Splendiferous And Heavenly Feast!

Thanks, Guys!
It Seems That I Have Much To Learn!

That's Okay, Brother!
We All Do, Too
Both Here And For Eternity!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Profit Or Loss!

What Is The Point Of Earthly Gain
When There Is No Heavenly Profit?!

Where Is The Blessing
In Reaching The Success Pinnacle
Holding The Bank In Your Hand
Grasping The Grapes Grown By Felt Need
AND
Having No Access To Eternity
Because The Creator God
- Our Savior Redeemer Friend -
You Despised 

In Your Overarching Greed?!

In Your Hour Of Trial
Will Your False God Plead For You?!

Is Your Seen God
Your Refuge And Strength?!

Is Your Touched God
Your Shepherd Who Will Your Life Defend?!

Does Your Perishable Bounty
Come Without Sorrow?!

Is Your Blessing Today
Going To Bless You In God's Sweet Tomorrow?!

Does Your God Made
Give Unto You Peace And Rest
Or
Does Your God Only Heap Upon Your Weary Head
That That Gives Stress?!

Brother! Sister!
Hear Me Well:

All That You Have Will Perish!
That Is The Promise Of God
For
Man Brought Nothing Into This World
AND

He Will Nothing Take Out
Save A Name:
Saint!
Sinner!
Blessing!
Curse!

What Will Be Your Legacy?!

Know This ...

It Is Not Yet Too Late!
This Way To Destruction
- By You -
May Be Reversed
When You Give Your All
To The King Of Life
The Master Of The Winds And Waves
The Only One Through Whom
A Repentant Sinner's Life
May Be Preserved!

It Takes Just One Step

To Come To King Jesus!

It Just Takes One Step

From Sin To Turn Away!

It Just Takes One Step

To Have A New Beginning!

It Just Takes One Step

From Hell And Damnation

To Walk Away!

Are You Willing
To Reach For Salvation?!
Are You Willing
To Walk On The Path To Life ?!
Are You Willing
To Deny The Lie And The Liar?!
Are You Willing
To Accept The Free Offer Of
Eternal Life With The Lord Christ?!

Brethren,

When Here And Now
Is In Your Heart
Hereafter With Jesus
Will Never A Start
So
Look Beyond What Is
Unto That, That Is Promised
Believing That The Word Is Sure
AND

The Spilt Blood Of The Beloved Jesus
Is
- For Our Sin -
The Known
AND
Only
Cure!

Be Wise Unto Salvation!

The Acceptable Time: NOW!

Today, Today
I Did What To A Pleasure-Loving Class
Is Truly Radical!
I
- With Sincerity -
Threw Open My Heart's Door
AND
Put All Of My Now Tasteless Furniture
- Old Deads For Sure -
Outside
AND
Invited Almighty God's Holy Spirit
Within It To Abide!

I Had Met Christ Jesus
The Great Architect
AND
I Truly Trusted His Work
AND

The Workman
AND
I Believed I Would Receive
All
That He Told Me I Should Expect!

I Knew I Needed The Great Designer ... In Residence

For
His Skill Is Impeccable!
His Taste Phenomenal! 

AND
His Grace Unstoppable!

I Had Put Out
A Sofa Called Pride
A Lounge Chair Called Envy
A Recliner Called Lust
AND
A Break-Front Called Sin-Spendy!

I Put Out A Bed Of Base Manners
A Bureau Full Of Lies And Deceits
A Tall-Boy Of Worldliness
AND
A Closet Full Of Greed
- I Used To Ride That Puppy With Speed!

I Even Cast Out
Butcher Knives For Backstabbing
Dainty Teaspoons Full Of Unkindness
Desert Forks For Sly Digs
Ladles Holding License For Liberty
AND
Trays Laden With "I Can Do As I Please!"

If I Decided To Go On Listing My Cast-Offs
My Cast Aways
I Would Still Be Writing Tomorrow
AND
I Don't Choose To Spend My Day That Way!

Sufficed To Say ...

I Didn't Even Realize That 

The Holy Spirit Had Indeed Fully Moved In
AND
Had Completely Taken Over
Until
One Day ... Quite Sweet
I Was Riding In My New Rocking Chair
From The "Yes, Lord!" Collection!

I Suddenly Had No Fear Of Tomorrow
AND
The Light Of Life Was Shining Through
My Windows Called
Clean And Clear Salved Eyes
AND
My Table Called Faith
Had A Single Plate Marked
"Just For Today!"

I Had A Single Glass Cup!
Every Day It Looked The Same!
Never Full!
Never Empty!
AND
When I Queried
The New Boss Of Me
He Stated That That Cup Is Called Grace
AND THATWhat I Therein Received
IS
Always Sufficient!
In Believer's Parlance
It Was More Than Plenty!

My New Bed Is From The "Rest!" Collection!
My New Comforter Is From The Collection Called "Perfect Peace!"
My Shoes Are From The "Delivery Of The Gospel Of Peace!" Collection
AND
My New Attire Is From The Simple Line
"The Righteousness Of Christ!"

I Even Received A New Chapeau
From The Collection "Salvation Has Been Brought Down!"
Bearing A Blood-Red Ribbon
Beautifully Embroidered
With The Words
That Made Me Cry And Laugh
AND
Hug The Lord Of My Heart:

Saved By Grace!

Property

Of

Jesus Christ

Redeemer Of Man!
