Be Enthusiastic To Expose The Lies Of The Fraud!

Be Eager In Doing The Lord's Bidding!
Be Watchful And Diligently Work!
Be Prayerful And Patiently Wait
And
In The Name Of Christ Jesus
Be Not Be A Laodecian At The Gate
Because
If You Already Have All In The World That You Need
The Lord Has Nothing For You
And
You Will Suffer The Lost Man's Fate!

Be Ye Anxious For Nothing!
We Are Kept By The Power Of The Living God!
Lean, Dear Ones, On The Lord Of Life
Who Has Promised 
And 
Will Deliver Unto You

Yesterday And Today, Even Right Now!
Let Your Faith Feed
On Him Who Sees To All Your Needs

And Not 
The Known Wily Fraud!

Baptise The Called Brethren
In The Godhead's Name
And
Soon, Soon, Soon
You Shall Be Lifted Up

Light

Fast Approaching!

Work, Watch

Pray Always

That You May Be Found Clean

In The Eyes Of The Holy God

Counted Worthy

To Escape The Plagues On The Lost!

**--**--**--**--**

Is Jesus Christ The Righteous

Of Your Whole Life

The Only Boss!?!

If, At This Time, He Is Not

Please Reckon What Will Be Lost!!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Oh, That Man Would Praise The Lord!

Oh, Lord To Trust You
In Every Sphere Of Life
To Find In Your Service
The Transport Of Delight
To Live For The Master
To Walk Faithfully With My God
To Have A Ready Word Of Blessing For My Brethren
And
The "Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!"
For That Known-Damned Fraud
Is The Desire Of My Life
Whenever I Open Wide From Peaceful Sleep
My Bright And Seeing Eyes!

My Father,
I Love You!
You Are The Holy God True!
You Are The One That Makes Me Live!
You Are The God Who, To Me
My Daily Bread Gives!

You Are The God Eternal
The Creator Of All I Survey
And
With A Heart Filled With Much Thankfulness
I Offer You
My Humble Worship
My Joyful Praise

And
My Necessary-Bread Prayers!

I Thank You, Father
For The Glorious Gift Of Salvation
That Cost You

Your Beloved Son
Who Made The Greatest Sacrifice
So That Sinful Man, Repentant
And Willing To Be From Sure-Hell Saved
By Faithful Acceptance Of The Gift
To Not Be Like The Wicked Satan
Forever Lost!

Oh, That My Kind
Will Praise The Lord
For His Goodness To The Children Of Men!

Oh, That Man Would Give Glory
To The Living Gid
And Seek His Holy Spirit
Not To Offend!

Oh, That I
Will Ever Look Up To My God
Accepting The Grace
The Mercy
The Forgiveness Of Confessed Sin
The Hand Of Provision
The Blessed Promise Of Salvation And Redemption Given
And Choose Ever

To Walk Wise
To Live Right
To Love Truth
And
Thence To Command The Blessing Of God
By Faithful Obedience To My Savior
My Lord And My God
Is My Humble Plea
In The Matchless Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
Who Condemned Sin Death And Hell
By Dying And Arising From Death
And
Commends The High And Holy
Heavenly Reward
By Ascending To The Throne Of Majesty
And
Interceding With His Blood
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
For My Brethren And Me!
Grant Unto Me A Willing Spirit

and

Keep Me Faithfully Working For The Kingdom!

Come Soon, Lord!
AMEN.

CHRIST: Crisis!

In A Crisis
If You Know
Who
Where
When
Christ Is
You Will Stand Firm
No Matter Who
What
Is Raging!
You Can Fight That
AND
Win Bliss!

You Shall Wear
The Glorious Crown!

Man, Please!
When Has There Never Not
Been A Crisis?!
And That Christ
He's Been Coming To Help
For Ever!
I've Been Hearing That
Since I Was Knee-High
To That Old Grass Hopper!
You Taking Bare Rubbish!
You Need To Hush Your Flapper!

I'm Sorry My Brother!
I Cannot Do That!
The Day Is A-Wasting!
Christ The Lord
Is On His Way Back ...!

More Rubbish!
More Rubbish!
That Book That You Read
Says No Man Knows The Hour
And, Obviously
That Lord Christ's Traveling Speed!

Sir,
I Detect Much Sarcasm
In Your Tone!
I Shall Move Past That
And Deliver The Message
Sent By My Master
Telling You
How ... To Get To
The Everlasting Rest Home!

Jesus Christ, Our Master
Was Never Elevated By Applause!
He Was Never Dejected
By Disappointment
Nor Censure
Nor Did He
From Doing The Will Of God The Father
Take Vacation
Nor Pause!

There Was Great Opposition
Cruel Treatment
Even Attempts
- Before Time -
To Shorten His Life
BUT
He Was Ever Of
Good Courage
He Trusted His God
His Father
To Get Him Through The Strife!

Christ Left For Us
- His Followers -
An Example
To Keep
To Follow
Unto Life
BUT
Many Hold A Profession
No Occupation
A Followship
No Fellowship
Anxious Spirits
Troubled Hearts
Timid Minds
Lights That Don't Shine
AND
In The Day Of Their Visitation
They Are Quick To Condemn God
In Christ
As Having To Them
Never, Ever Be Fair
Been Kind!

The Lord Is Our Shepherd
He Leads To Pastures Green
He Leads Us Beside Waters Still
He Restores Our Souls
With Good Food He Fills!

Brother!
Sister!
What Is The Point Of
Following The Leader
When You Don't Believe

AND
You Won't Do What He Says
When You Think You Know How To Fix Him
When You Know His Walking Path
Is The One Wrong!

Why Do You
Eat What Is Offered At His Table
AND
Steal From His Money Bag?

Why Say
Lord, Teach Me!AND
When Corrected
Run Out
AND
Sell Him
For A 30-Piece
Sanhedrin Silver Blood-Money Bag?!

Jesus Calls Us Because He Loves Us!
He Desires Us To Walk In His Ways!

AND
He Has Not Set For Us

Or Before Us
A Path That Cannot Be Trodden
Nor A Victory
That We Cannot Taste!

If To You
Jesus Christ IS Savior
Redeemer
King
God
AND
Leader
Friend
Take Firm Hold On The Hand
That He Is Extending
AND
Say:

My Soul, Hold On!
Jesus Saves From Here To Life's End!

Jesus Saves But ...!

There Is No "But!"
Jesus Saves 

ANDYou MUST With Him
Cooperate
IfIt Is Your Desire
To See The Eternal Kingdom!

Jesus Calls - Answer!
Jesus Gives - Take!
You Pray - Jesus Answers!
You Do Wrong - You Will Be Corrected
AND
As Necessary
You Will Be Chastised!

No Good Father
Leaves A Child To His Own Devices
Neither Does He Permit Him
To Live His Life In
By

AND
For
Lies!

If 

You Choose
To Follow Jesus
Choose To Follow Him
All Day!

AND

In All Ways!

Choose To Trust
That Where He Is Leading
Is The Best Place
For He Alone Knows The Way!

Please Do Not Compare
The Lord Christ To Others
That Worship Nonentities!

Our God
Is All Seeing!
All Knowing!
He Is Self Existent!
He Is The Eternal!

AND
In His Hand

He Holds Eternity!

I Declare Unto You ...

Trust Is Not Half-Way!

Faith Is No Half-Day!

Mercy Is Not Some-Day!

Grace Is Not Play-Play!

Truth Is Not Assayed!

AND

Hope Is Not Over There!

Our Hearts Know The Truth!

God IS Love
Is What Our King James Does Indeed Say
AND
Jesus Christ
- To Heaven -
Paid For Us
Our Price
To Get Us A Home There! 

But ... But ...!

But But What?!

The Pastor Says ...!

Ahhh, Yes!
The Pastor Problem Rides Again!

When Last Did You Read
For Your Self Your Bible?
When Last For Your Self
Did You Pray To The Lord?
When Last
For Your Self
Did You Ask The Lord To Guide You?
When Last
For Your Self
Did You Ask The Lord
To Protect You From The Fraud?

When Last Did You Close Off Your Self
From The Clamoring Around You
And In Your Own Soul

Commune With Your Lord?

AND
When Last
Did You Sing A Song Of Your Praise
Giving Grateful Thanks
To The Holy God?

Money Can't Save You!
Friends Can't Save You!
Position Can't Save You!
Preacher Teacher Priest
Need Saving Themselves
So They Can't Save You
So ...It Is Left To Us

To You
- As The Good Book Says -
To Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 

With Fear And Trembling!
It Does Not Say
Throw In The Lot With The Group!
You Walk The Path Alone!

Friend,
The Best Friend Ever
That A Man Has
Is Our Lord Christ
The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
Who For The Prize
- Our Salvation -
Despised His Shaming
AND 

Worked Out For Us
The Way To The Heavenly Home!

Let Your Own Soul

- By Faith -

Gaze In!

Let Not Your Eyes
Nor Your Feelings
Create For Your Self
A Self-Filling Whole!
Hold On To The Faith
The Living That's Our Gift
From Christ Jesus
ANDYou Shall Live
Not Merely Exist!

Onerous Lectures
Convoluted Directions

AND
Speculations 

Bearing No Specificities
Are The Work
Of The Very Devil
Encouraging Man
Into The Ways Of God
To Dig Deep!

Well ...

If God Said It!
Then Believe It!

If God Says Don't Do It!
Then Don't!

God Says Turn Away
From The Ways Of Death
AND

Come To Jesus The Christ
For
In Him
There Is Everlasting Life!

Surrender Your Self
Unto Your Savior
AND

Do Not Look Back
At The Things Left Behind!

Look Up To The Lord!
Trust His Hand Of Blessing
AND

Provision
For In Him Is Found
Your Heavenly Reward! 

Brethren, Beloved ...

Do Not Tempt God!
Do Not Lean Unto Fables!
Do Not Be Double-Minded!

ANDDo Not Waiver As The Sea!

Please Set Your Heart
On All Things Eternal!
He Who Clothes The Grass
With Pretty Flowers
Is The One
Who Watches Over
Provides For
Blesses
AND
Is Coming Soon
To Take Home
Me And Thee!

Look To Jesus!

Love The Lord!

And

Follow His Leading

For

At The Last Trump

Heaven Is The Reward!

 

Sitting On The Ladder!?

I Was Climbing The Ladder
Up To The Kingdom Of God!
Each Rung Was Equidistant!
Each Rung Anchored By The Word!

Each Day I Learned A New Lesson!
Each Week I Gleaned New Rewards
For
I Was Doing Right In The Name Of The Master
AND
I Wasn't Playing Games With The Fraud!

Some Days Were Filled With Laughter!
Some Days Were Filled With Tears!
Some Days There Were Disappointments
AND
Some Days Were Filled With Cheers

AND ...

Through It All
My Heart Was Rested 
Contented
FOR
I Was Totally Dependent 
Upon The Lord

UNTIL ...

The Day
I Started  Resting More
AND
Climbing Less!

I Really Felt Like A Champion
For
My Cheering Squad
Was Carrying Me

So ... I Felt

There Was No Reason To Walk 
On My Own Feet
When
In Jesus Christ
I Was Blessed And Replete!

This Continued For A While
Until I Noticed Something Strange
I Was On Jacob's Ladder
BUT
I Was Feeling The Heat
From Beelzebub's Flames!

I Had Forgotten
That Faith Without Work Is Dead
Just Like A Body Without A Spirit
Is Nothing More Than Lead!

I Stopped!
I Really Really Stopped
And Took Inventory Of My Self
AND
I Realized
That Instead Of The Ladder
I Was On A Shelf
Surrounded By
Sin Shame
Self Blame
Defection Dejection
Base Hoards
AND
Binding Chains!

My Eyes Flared!
My Heart Raced!
My Voice Croaked!
My Will Waned
AND
I Was In Peril
For I Had Wandered Away
From My God
AND
I Had Become The Perfect Magnet
For
The Decimating Lord!

I Cried!
I Confessed!
I Repented
AND
I Left The Shelf
By The Grace Of The Living God
AND
I Am Again Moving
Toward
The Home Of The Blessed!

I Acknowledge
AND
I Accept
That
In The Service Of The Lord
One Must Keep Moving
Oiled By The Spirit
OR
Like Old Iron
Get Rusty ... But In The Chest!

Iron Needs Lubricating
To Maintain Its Efficacy!
The Worker For The Master
Must Make Him Their Spirit Soul Body-Buddy!
No Connection - No Warmth!
No Heart - Soul Cold!
No Love - Great Lost!
Self-Reassigned To The Goat Host!

If I Should Climb Higher
I Must Keep Away From The Fire!
I Must Keep Looking To The Son
AND
Set Aside That Which Is Modernity's 
Treats And Pleasures
Popularly Called Fun!

No Man Can Serve Two Masters!
A Body Cannot Straddle A Fence
For
A Single Slip
Cuts One Down The Middle
AND
Someone Soon Plays "Taps!"
On The Mourner's Fiddle!

By Pleasing God
I Am Pleased With Myself!
It Will Offend The Other
BUT
I Will Gain The Heavenly Reward
From The Holy One Who Matters!!

Saints Don't Sit!

*********

There Is No Sitting On The Ladder

For

Ladders Are Made For Climbing
So

Get Moving With Jesus

AND

By Faith

Climb!

CLIMB!

CLIMB!!

Prayer: I Thank You

I Thank You
For The Bounty On My Table, Lord!

May My Spirit
With Yours 
Be In One Accord!

May My Heart
Ever Long
For My Loving Lord

So That I May
With The Saints
Sit At Your Table 

In The Great Reward!

AMEN
