DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN: The Strait Way Struggle!

 

Onward And Upward 
Is 
On The Strait And Narrow Way 
And
We Will Never Reach The Heavenly Home Safely 
If 
We Allow Our Attention From This Path To Stray! 

Beloved, 

There Will Always Be The Way Faster
The Way More Fun
The Way Less Strenuous
And
The Way Where Doing Without Is Just A Song! 

Think! 

If Anyone "Helps" A Butterfly Out Of His Cocoon
He Will Never Fly 
And
He Will Soon Die! 

If A Humming Bird Forgets Who He Is 
And 
Why He Does What He Does
He Will Become The Feast On The Table Of 
The One Who Will Handle Him 
According To What He Shows Himself To Be 
And 
Not By The Reputation For Which He Is Known! 

Dear Ones, 

A Ground-Dove Will Never Rise 
To The Heights Achieved By An Eagle! 

Please Choose To Live In Your Place 
Near To The Heart Of God 
Through The Lord Christ Jesus 

And 

Though Belittled
Denied, Disregarded
And 
Disrespected
Dare To Firmly Hold The Line That 
Leads To Surpassing Glory! 

There Is Always Darkness Before Dawn! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 
Be Strong In The Lord
And
In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!

Think On Jesus Christ!








Burdens Were Lifted At Mount Calvary 
So That All Of Our Needs Could Be Met
 At The King Of Love's Throne Of Sufficient Grace 
Where Those Of Us Who See Our Soul's Bankruptcy 
May, By Faith, Humbly Approach Boldly To Request A Filling 
From Almighty God's Storehouse Of Great Good And Plenty! 

Pride In Appearance
Confidence In Accomplishments
Contentment In The Praise Of Men
And 
All-Around Self-Satisfaction And Self-Aggrandizement 
Are No Balm To The Soul Seeking The Savior 
And
A Place Near To The Heart Of God 
Where All Is Joy, Peace, Rest, Refreshing, 
And 
True Safety! 

Beloved, 

Being Rich In The Earth's Bounties 
Is 
No Guarantee Of Happy Now
And 
Joy In Jesus Hereafter! 

We Need To Look Beyond What Now Is Evident 
To Clearly See What Shall Be Hereafter! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Remember That Satan 
And 
All The Wicked Who Love And Live In His Ways 
According To His Damned Will In Finite Time
Play The Long Game ... And They Play For Keeps! 

Let Us, Therefore, Who Serve The Lord Jesus In Spirit And In Truth 
Daily Choose To Hold To His Unchanging Hand 
Because 
He Loves Us 
And
Inhabits Eternity! 

Neither Satan, Sin, Self, Nor Selfishness 
Can Enter Eternity! 

Please Do The Committed Christian's Mathematical Exercises 
In The Book Which Can Only Be Written Upon 
With The Pencil Of Truth 
Wielded By The Hand Of Faith 
And
Know That Your Answers In And For Jesus 
Equate To That Blood-Bought Ticket To Surpassing Glory 
For The Saints Of God And Christ! 

Think On Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith's Gotta Work!






Heavenly Gifts Are Daily Given!
Faith, Amongst Them
Requires That We Use What We Have
And
Is That Treasure That We Need To Succeed
And
Is The Gift That We Need To Use
If
We Are Not To Go To Hell 
With Satan And His Angels
And
With That Thing Called Bre'k-Neck Speed!

Faith Without Corresponding Work
Is 
Dead ... Dead As A Door-Nail
And
There Is Not Anything That 
Anyone Can Do For Us Unless And Until
From The Hand Of The Gifter
We Substantially Take Our Fill
And
Start Walking Home ... To Our Father
Who Is In Heaven
That Place Of Rest 
That Is The Saved Man's Haven!

Get A Grip On Yourself ...

We Must Stop Partaking Of 
The Pharisee's Leaven Which Calls 
Faith, Foolish
Love, Cheap
Hope, Hellish
And
Unregenerated Self ... The Chief!

We Are Targets ... 

We Have Bullseye Targets
On Our Backs, Chests
Our Foreheads 
And
On Our Hands And Knees
And, Yet
The Most Efficient Bullseye
Is
The One Covering The Ear
The Covering The Eye
Those Recording Devices Of A Man
That Take Into The Unwary Heart 
The Known-Demoralizing Lie!

The Devil, Satan
The Dragon, The Serpent
That Snake In The Garden Was A Talker
Glib ... Even Unto This Day
Reaching Into The Mind Of Man
Through His Ear, Through His Eye
And
Endeavoring There To Stay
To Play Footsie
To Run Foot-Loose
Mangling
The Certain Truth
Hopeful
To Make A Miniscule Breach
And
Thereby Cause One To Relax Their Hold 
On Him Who Guarantees
Eternal Youth! 

Know The Right ... 

Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of Almighty God! 
Doubt Comes By Hearing The Word Of Satan
Our Accuser
The Adversary Of Our Souls
That Known Murderer
Who Desires Us To Worship Him
And Thereby
Steal The Prerogatives Of The Holy
The Eternal
The Living, Blessing, Giving One God! 

Watch Unto Pray ... 

Guard Your Heart
For Out Of It Come The Issues Of Life! 
Fix Your Eyes' Focus
And
Focus Totally On Christ! 
Unstop Your Ears
And
Tune Your Antennae
To The Frequency Of Christ
Who, For Your Purchased Soul
Personally, Personally Cares! 

Get Your Soul-House In Order ...

Live For The Life-Giver! 
Walk With The God Wise! 
Speak As A Saint Of The One God Holy
And
Do Not Mother Eve's Error Foolishly Reprise! 

Do Not Choose To Do As Daddy Adam Did
Preferring To Share The Fate Of 
The Disobedient One Loved
Instead Of Obeying The Lover Of Your Soul
Who Has Prepared A Place For You
In The Father's House
In The Heavenly Realm Of Love! 

Stand Up In The Faith Of Jesus!
Rest Upon His Word!
Permit Yourself To Be Influenced By Holy Angels
And
Turn Away From The Ways
The Means
The Pleasures ... The Perversions
Of The Wayward, Wily, Willful
Wastrel, Wandering, Wild-Goat Herd
Which Has Been Had By Him Who Hates
Who Loves To Skate 
Around Truth
Around Righteousness 
Offering That Which Does Not Bless
Does Not Confer Eternal Success 
But 
Stresses, Strands
And
Lands The Unwary Human
In The Barren Land
Where There Is No Light
No Love
No Sweet Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
No Bread Of Life
And
No Water Of Life
But
Provides Ample Supplies Of Strife, Sorrow
Gnashing Of Teeth
And Inevitably To Follow
Damnation
And
Second Death
Which Is Eternal Separation From The Holy God! 
That Is The Known Unrepentant Sinner's Reward! 

Choose Your Radio Station Carefully ...

Do Not Listen To The Words Of Satan
The Agile, Adept, Adaptable, Known God-Fraud
Nor The Words Of His Minions
Who Are Attuned To His Ways
And
Proudly Pleased With Their Putrifying Profits
Unmindful Of The Facts That
Soon Comes The Day Of The Lord Christ
The Day Of Small Things
The Great Judgment Day
The Day Of The Redeemed! 
Thereafter, Truth Is  Forever Esteemed! 

Hold The Fort Of Faith ... 

Let Your Gift Of Daily Faith Work ... For You! 
Bless The Lord Christ With Your Faith 
Your Trust, Your Hope, And Your Belief 
As He Blesses You With Righteousness
Goodness And Truth! 

The Bottom Line ... 

Give The Lord Christ Your Will
So That He Makes Your Way Plain: 

Keep Your Hand In The Hand Of Mercy!
Keep Your Gait In Step With Grace!
Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Hill Zion
And
Your Hope In Him Who Is Just And Faithful 
Who Will Never Your Faith In Him
Ever, Ever, Ever Disgrace! 

Jesus Christ's Heart Is True
And
He Is The Truth
And
He Lives To Bless Me And You! 


The King Is Coming! 
Get Washed 
And
Get And Stay Ever Ready!

Amazing Grace And Everlasting Glory Are Free!

Amazing Grace!
Redeeming Love!
Joy And Peace
Sent
From The Throne In Heaven Above
Where
Mercy Is Free
And
Faith ... For The Day
Blessed
By The God Eternal
Was Is Has Been Paid For
By The Innocent Lamb's Blood
Which Is The Cleansing Flood!

Salvation!
Forgiveness!
Blessing!
Truth!
Hope!
These Are Amongst The Graces
That From Almighty God's Love
To Us
Does Float
Free
Easy
Swift To Be Assimilated
By The Seeking One Who
Does Not From On The Path
Want To Be Eliminated!

Truth ... In The Inward Parts!
Heaven In Our Eyes!
Ears Hearing The Call To Life
While The King Of Love
Awaits
Our Affirmative Reply!

There Is No Hard Sell!
There Is No Soft Shoe!
There Is Heaven To Be Achieved
And
The Sinful Life To Be Cast Aside
As From Sinning
We Seek Totally
To Be Completely Relieved!

The Fact Of The Matter Is ...

Jesus Christ 
Is 
My Portion
Is Not 
A Popular Notion
Because 
The World Chooses To Walk Upon 
The Own-Way Ocean
Which Treats To Their Need Of Titillating Locomotion!

There May Be Motion In Your Own Ocean
But
It Doesn't Mean
You're Going The Right Way
Since Your Motion May Be A Whirlpool
Because
Your Prayers Are For Things False
About Which You Had No Real Notion! 

The Bottom Line Is ...

Licentiousness May Be Your Preferred Lotion!
Own Way May Be Your Choicest Body Cream!
Ignorance Of Truth May Be Your Custom-Made Perfume 
And
Your Ready Excuses May Always Be Lean
But
Jesus Christ The Lord 
Is 
Always On Duty
And
Truth Is Always Right And Bright
And
One Day
The Book On Your Life Will Be Opened:

Will You
In Almighty God's Heart
Be
A Blessed Delight!?! 

The Facts Are Plain ...

You Have Free Will!
You Have Free Choice!
You Have The Right To Choose The Eternal Blessing!
You Have The Right To Make The Choice That
Will Have You Among The Souls Cast Out
The Souls Forever Lost! 
Have You Counted The Cost!?!

Will You Love The Lord That Loves You!?!
Will You Choose To Take In Him Your Rest
Or
Will You Walk In Your Own Way With The Devil
Doing Wrong And Being Forever Evil!?!

Profit May Be Mammon!
Profit May Be Heavenly Gain!
Profit May Make You Rich In Christ Indeed 
Or Leave You
In Eternal Shame And Unquenchable Flames!

Think About It ...

Eternal Separation From The Holy God Will Be The Lot
Of Those Who Have Not
By Dint Of Surrendered Will To The Lord Christ
Received
Immortality's Eternal Life's Bloom!!
The Flames Will Finally Go Out
When The Sinner Is All Consumed!

Make Your Decision ...

Choose Your Choice
And
Give Your Voice
To That Which Will Cause You To Live 
In Peace 
With Jesus Christ
Our Lord And King Forever
For
There Will Never, Ever, Ever Be
Neither In Heaven Above
Nor Earth Beneath
An Immortalized Glorified Sinner!

The Beauty Of The Lord ...!

He Had No Form Or Comeliness
That One Should Desire Him
But Within
Is 
The Beauty Of The Lord
And

We Are To Become Like Him!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance
But, God
God Looks Ever At The Heart
And This Should Make Our Task Clear
And

From His Ways
We Should Never Depart!

Beautiful Skin ...

Outward Beauty Is Skin Deep!
Against A Quiet And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law!
Outward Beauty
Having Flaws
Fades
But

Inner Beauty
Is 
The Perennial Joy To Behold
For
The Spirit Of The Lord Indwelling
Makes The Heart ... Gold!

The Beauty Of The Lord

Is
His Character:
His Love 
His Joy
His Peace
His Rest
His Grace
His Faith
His Mercy
His Giving 
His Forgiving 
His Blessing Spirit 

His Heart
His Holiness


Beautiful Savior ...

The Savior
Is
Not Beautiful 
To Those Who See No Profit
In The Gifts That He Bears! 

The Savior Is Not Seen As Beautiful
Because
Their Eyes Are Blinded
By Ephemera
And

Their Ears Blocked To Loving Entreaty
So That They Don't Believe
The Goodness That He Shares!

The Fact Of The Matter ...

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder!
Beauty Is By Utility!
If I Don't See A Purpose
That Adds To
Aka Blesses Me
Then Your Beauty
To Me
Is Sheer Futility!
You Serve No Purpose!

Such, Then
Is 
The Christ
To Those With The Spirit Of
The Scribes And The Pharisees
The Jewish Leaders
And
The Disciple Turned Traitor Judas
In The Time When Jesus Walked The Earth!

The Proud Were Looking For A Bright King
A Caped Conqueror!
A Loud Leader!
A Lavish Lord!

They Got, Instead
A Calm Commoner
A Helpful Healer
A Teaching Preacher
A Ready Feeder
A Spirit-Filled Crusader
A Change Agent
Who Did Their Hopes Dash
Because, Because, Because
He Wasn't Into Power
And

He Had No Bright Baubles
AndHe Wasn't Slinging The Ready
Aka The Cash!

They Were Spiritual Prostitutes!
Jesus Christ Rejected The Position Of Pimp!

Ergo ...

There Was No Meeting Of The Minds
And

There Was The Drawing Of The Battle Lines!

Swords Were Drawn!
Axes Were Ground!
And
Demons On A Mission
Amongst The Brethren
Were More Than A Few
And
The Lamb ... Silent
Was Slaughtered
In Time
And

On Cue!

However ...

Those Who Looked
Who Longed
For His Appearing
Saw His Sacrifice
And
Cried!

Those Who Looked Not For Him
But Another
Gnashed Their Teeth
And
Adroitly Lied!

Know This For Sure ...

At Time's Coming End 
There Will Be No Fence-Riders
No Hangers-Ons
No Drugged-Out Groupies
And

Only Those Who Love The Marred Face
Hands Feet
And

Spear-Imprinted Side
Will Be Rejoicing!
Everybody Else
Will Be Looking To Hide!


Jesus Christ
Loves His Little Children
And

He Perfumes
Every Heart-Felt Prayer
With
The Fragrance Of Innocent Blood
Spilt
And
Packaged
In
Redeeming Love!



Brethren ...

Almighty God
Looks Not At Our Outward Appearance
So
How About Our
Taking A Verse From The Good Book!
How About Our
Taking A Bold Look At His Heart
And

Then Bidding Sin
Self
And

Satan
From Our Hearts
To Depart!?!

Is Jesus Christ
The Righteous One
** Beautiful **
In. Your. Eyes!?!

*******

Dear Jesus,
Just A Short Note To Say:

You Fill My Eyes!
I Love You!

Yours, Always
Your Child Well-Beloved
