In The Valley Of Need

Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
Met
Associated
AND
Were Married
In The Difficult Moment
Between
The Valley Of Need
AND
The Cross-way Of Hope And Desire
For Christian Good!

Circumstance 
Had Forged Their Commitment To Each Other
Through Christian's Need To Avoid 
Lack Of Faith
AND
Unchristian Doubt
AND
The Avoidance Of The Hazard Of Expressed Unbelief
Made Their Union
A Match Made In Heaven!

These Two 
Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
Cooperate With The King In The Kingdom
The Living Lamb That Was Dead
BUT
Who Is Alive Forevermore
AND
Who Is Sitting At The Right Hand
Of God The Father
Making Intercession For The Faithful
AND
Presenting The Petitions
Of Those Who Choose To
Exercise Their Faith
Through Constant
Even Unceasing Prayer For 
Favor
Strength
The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
More Faith
A Christ-like Attitude
AND
Every Good And Perfect
AND
Eternally Profitable Thing
For The Blessing
Protection
Correction
AND
Provisioning Of
The Heaven-bound Soul!

Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
Are United
Bound AND Tied Together
Until Christian's Death
Or 
The Coming Of The Conquering King
Whichever Event Comes First!

The Separation Of
Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
In The Life Of The Christian
In Not A Thing To Be Contemplated
Accepted
Appreciated
Approved
OR
Attempted
For
No Good Thing 
Will Be Heralded By This Devil-inspired Device
As It Is This Very Thing
Which Creates A Lack Of Cooperation
Between The Christian
AND
The Heavenly Intelligences!

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Satan Always Attempts
To Separate
The Sinner Saved
From
The Soul's Savior!

Prayer Is Power!
Persistent Prayer Is Powerful!
The Power Of Persistent Prayer 
Is Powerful 
To Put Down Temptations And Torments
AND
Provide Grace To Help
In The Time Of Need!

Be As The Importunate Neighbor
AND
Beg For Your Loaves Of Bread 
Even At Midnight 
For Our Lord Has No Bed
Nor A Sleep Stocking Upon His Head!

Heaven's Storehouse
Is Ever Open
AND
There Is No Cash Register To Fill
Or To Be Broken!
Therefore
Let Your Prayers Be Not Token
AND
Your Answer
Will Not Be That To 
The Request Not Spoken!

God's Love Of Man Has No Limit!

BE ENCOURAGED: The Same God

The Same God Who Created Me
Is The Same God Who Died To Save Me
Is The Same God Who Is In Heaven Preparing A Place For Me
Is The Same God Who Gently Leads Me
Is The Same God Who Graciously Feeds Me
Is The Same God Who Lovingly Chides Me
Is The Same God Who Encourages Me To Reason With Him
Is The Same God Who Pleads With Me To Repent When I Sin
Is The Same God Who Encourages Me To Pray Without Ceasing
Is The Same God Who Encourages To Call On Him Whatever The Matter
Is The Same God Who Encourages Me To Trust In Him For He Won't Permit Satan My Faith And Hope To Scatter
Is The Same God Who Will Lift Me Up When The Winds Of Hate And Strife Doth Me Batter
Is The Same God Who Cautions Me When Sin Doth Me Flatter
Is The Same God Who Protects Me When Life's Billows Roll
Is The Same God Who Will Mark My Grave When For Me Death's Bell Doth Toll
Is The Same God Who Will Comfort Me When Grief Racks My Soul
And Who
- No Matter Who By Constant Complaint Tries To Get Him To Comply - 
Won't Cast Me Out From His Fold
BECAUSE
On Him I Completely Rely!

Jesus Loves Me!

Come What May 

In Him I Abide 

Each And Every Day!

He Is My Portion!

I Will Not Him Deny

AND

With His Blessing

I Will Join Him

On The Way To The Glorious Home

- With Saints And With Angels -

Through The Opened Sky!

The Praying, Petitioning Jesus!

Jesus Prayed!
Jesus Prayed for Me
AND
With His Pray
He Was Nailed By My Sin
AND
Deemed Accursed -
He Was Hung
Suspended
Between Earth and Sky
To Save Me
And All Believers
Who Will Bow At The Name
Of Jesus Christ
Immanuel
Lord of All Seen
AND  
Unseen Domains!

In and Of Myself - Unworthy -
I Had Me No Right
To Approach 
The Throne of The Father
Requesting Assistance
My Battles To Fight
BUT
Jesus - Holy Jesus -
Said:

"Father, This Child I Do Claim
And All Of Like Posture
Who Shall Pray To You
In My Name!"

I Hung On Their Cross!
I Took On Their Sin!
I Was Their Payment
Breaking Satan's Every Chain
Which License Only Leads Them
To Destruction Once
Yeah, Twice
BUT
Father, You Accepted
The Willing Sacrifice!

My Offering Was
The Just
For
The Unjust!
I Claim Them! - We Love Them!
We Call Them Our Own
AND
In The Day of Your Appointing, Father
We Are Bringing Them
To Our Home
Where Blessings Are Eternal
Where Rest Is Eternal - Sweet
Where Peace Is Eternal
Where Wings Are As Feet
Where Water Is Living
Where Our Light Is As Air
Where Nevermore Again
Our Beloved Children
Will Know
The Ravages of Sin
AND
It's Attendant Fear!

So, Father
Blessed Father
Grant This Child
Your Peace
AND
Godly Fear
To Live Holy
Ever Looking Up
Toward The East
With Great Anticipation
Of The Day That Will Dawn!
The Day When The Chosen
The Believers
Will Arise - New!
Immortal!
At The Last Trumpet - Reborn!

Bless Them
AND
Keep Them
Until That Great Day!
Father, Our Children
Are Home Bound
AND
There Is Much Hope
In Their Rejoicing
For We Keep Their Hearts
Until The Day Dawns
Singing,  Rejoicing
Saying:

"Going Home!
Happy Day!
My Sins Are Washed Away and
I Don't For Them 
Have To Personally Pay!
"Going Home!
Oh, Happy Day!"

Jesus Christ Has Paved My Way!
I Live In Him
AND
God's Grace Leads The Way!
The Lord's Holy Spirit
Grants Me Peace and Sweet Rest
AND
I Shall Stand Firm
AND
I Will Pass The Test!"

HAPPY SABBATH + God's Mercy Is ... FREE!!

Mercy On The Scale
Is Given As One Doth Hope!
This Matter Is One Serious
To The Unbeliever for
How Will He In Dread Times Cope?!?

I Was Once The Unbeliever!
I Had No Faith Of My Own!
I Was The Believer By Proxy
And Proximity To My Granny's Belief
In The God Reigning On Heaven's Throne!

With The Passage of Time
And Old Granny
I Needed To Own My Own Faith
To Face My Own Known Fears
And It Was At This Time Of Decision
That The Words In Granny's Gift Bible Did To Me
In My Reality Did Appear!

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord 

is upon them that fear him, 

upon them that hope in his mercy;

22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, 

according as we hope in thee.

Psalms 33:18, 22 KJV

First
I Feared The Eye Looking!

Then 
I Was Fearful Of What The Eye Was Seeing!

Then 
I Was Frightened Of My Fear
For I Remember Granny Saying,  Repeatedly:

"Jesus IS The Friend Of Little Children! "

So,

I Was Then Wondering:

"Jesus?  Would You Be My Friend?!"

But,  then,  Being Human,  and
Knowing Earthly Friends,
I Wondered Oh,  So,  Sadly:

"What Do I Have, or Own, To Give
To Make Jesus Want To Be My Friend?!?"


Then, Yet,  Again, The Words In Granny's Gift  Bible:


"Hope Thou In God!"

"God Be Merciful ... TO ME ... A Sinner!"

"Pray Without Ceasing!"


This One Is Special for, to me, It Is:


"Pray Without Seeing!"


My Then Child's Mind Always Mouthed It Thus:

"Pray Without Seeing!"

Praying To The God That I Could Not See
For Something I Could Not See Myself Receiving!!

Wow!

I Understand!

I  NOW Understand Granny's FAITH In The Unseen All-Knowing God!

Granny Tried Her Best To Teach Me ...!

Then,  There was This Constant Plea From My Old Curly-Haired Granny:

"Lord,  Have Mercy!"

"Lord, Jesus,  Have Mercy!"

"In Jesus' Holy Name,  Lord,  Have Mercy!"

"Lord,  Have Mercy On Me!

"Mercy,  Lord!  Mercy!"

Granny Used To Petition Heaven With Such Intense Faith That It Used To Make My Skin Crawl!

Then,  I  Understood, and Finally Realized that:

GOD'S MERCY MAKES SIN ... CRAWL!!

22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, 

according as we hope in thee.

Psalm 33 - KJV

Today,  I Need Almighty God,  Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit!

I Need To Be Settled in My Spirit ...!

I Need Hope To ...!

I Need Mercy To ...!

I Need Help In ...!

And,  It Is In This Moment -  Of Need - And Needing All The Powers Of Heaven At My Head, In My Heart, To Carry Me, That The Words In Granny's Gift Bible,  Again,  Saved Me!

The Words, in Psalm 33 Verse 22 Made Me!!

I Was To Have As Much Mercy As I Had Hope In God!!

I Was Being Weighed In The Balances!

Suddenly,  I Was Crying!

"Lord, Jesus, Let Me Be Not Found Wanting!"

"Lord, Please Let Your Kingdom Not Be Finished For Me!"

The Scales ...!
My Heart ...!
My Head ...!
My Hands ...!
My Feet ...!

My Hope?!?

If I Want Mercy
I Need Hope!

If I Need Abundant Mercy
I Need Abundant Hope!

That Day Into Night
Unto Morning Sunlight
I Spent With The Master!
My Tears? - They Shone Bright
As With The Grace In Fond Memory
I Placed On The Scale
All The Blessings Received
In Hope
In All The Passing Days Years!

With The Blessing Of God's Spirit
And My Hope In Jesus' Faith
My Time At The Throne Of Grace
Knocked The Scale Out Of Place
For The Hope Had Within It
Mustard Seeds One or Two
And Granny's Blessing of Teaching
The Words In That Gift Bible
Were Seeing Me Through!

In My Day of Discovery
In My Walk With My God
My Hope Is Springing Eternal
And By God's Abundant Mercy
I'm Having No Truck With The Fraud!

God's Free Mercy
Is Free To You And Me

A Call
A Prayer
A Shout

Even Without A Care or Fear!
