Almighty God's Blessings: "Please, May I Have Some More!?!"

Giving Is Supplying Our Need 

And 

Forgiving Is Taking Us Back Into The Fold Of Safety 

And

Both Contain Grace, Mercy, Compassion, Kindness

And 

Charity Aka Love 

And

Are The Result Of That Great Gift Of God Called Justification 

Aka Being Made Right With Almighty God 

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

Beloved, 

There Is An Old Expression That Says 

"Don't Look A Gift Horse In Its Mouth!" 

And 

That Was Said Because Your Inspection Might Reveal That 

That Gifted Horse Is Old And Not Altogether "Profitable To You" 

In Your Jaundiced And Even Ungrateful Estimation! 

Dear Ones, 

Jesus Christ, The King, Our Creator, The God Of Glory

Always Only Gives Good And Perfect Gifts To Us

His Purchased-From-Sin Possession! 

We Don't Have To Check Where They Come From

How Long They've Been In Use

How Useful They Will Be To Us

Or If They Are Worth Accepting! 

Our God Is Holy And He Gives, Forgives

Saves, Sets Apart

And 

Seals Us, Willing, For Eternity! 

We Are Greatly Loved Of This Almighty God 

So Let Us Say This Day: 

"Thank You, Lord, For Your Blessings On Me! 

Please, May I Have Some More!?!" 

Let Choose To Give Our Glorious, Gracious, God 

The Gift ... Our Humble Gift ... Of Gratitude Today! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, Please Haste The Glad Day!

Lord,

I Cannot Help But Love You!

You Are To Me The God Holy Faithful Ever True!

You Are My Hope

My Blessing

And

I Want To Live Forever With You!

I Am But A Child

So Please Teach Me

To Walk In the Way Called Truth

And

Please Bless Me With Wisdom's Understanding

So That I Will Be A Blessing To Others

Old And Youth!

Father,

The Ways Of The World Are Most Distressing

Even Though They Are Held Up As So Much Fun

And

Great Play

But I Don't Find It All Amusing

And

I Beseech You

To Help Me Keep It That Way!

Often, Lord

I See A Wandering Brother

Sister

Caught In The Straight Betwixt Two

And

My Heart Goes Out To Them, Father

Because I Know For Sure

That They Are Looking For You!

Bless Me, Lord

With A Blessed Though

Bringing To Promised Remembrance

The Living Word Of Hope Help Healing

That I Have Read And Heard

So That I May Share

With The Longing Soul Caught

In The Wild Goat Herd!

Father,

Satan Is, Indeed, Raging

And

Doing His Dread Work

Enticing The Unwary

To Ultimately Do Upon Them

His Destroying Work

And

I Beg You

I Beseech You

In Jesus Christ's Name

To Make Me An Instrument

For Your Blessed Kingdom

To Point The Way To Salvation

So That Your Holy Spirit

Will Get Another Soul Away

From That Lying One Who Profanes

The Holy Name!

Remember Us, Lord, In Mercy!

Pour Out Upon Us Your Grace

And

Bless Us With Spiritual Ears

To Hear The Holy Spirit Calling Our Name!

Bless Us Also With Hearts Of Flesh

For The Lord Christ To Enter In

And

Sit Down To Sup With Us

As We In Joy

Sup With Him!

Help Us To Ask In Faith For The Outpouring

And

The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit

And

Help Us Not To Fall, Dear Lord

To The Belief

That Living Faith Has No Work In It!

Teach Us Your Way

And

Help Us To Walk In It!

Lead Us To Green Pasture

With Living Water Running Through It! 

Anoint Our Heads With Oil

And

Let Our Cup Of Blessing Overflow

And

Keep Us Until The Great Day

When Our Redeemer

We Shall Face To Face Know!

Bless You, Lord

We Love You!

Bless You, Lord

We Give You All Adoration And Praise!

Bless You, Lord

For Our Souls' Salvation!

Please Haste The Glad Day

For

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Offer Up Our Worship And Our Humble Prayers!

AMEN.

Don't Blink ... THINK! - Church Service

Have You Ever Been In A "Church" Service
Or
Viewed One
That Made Your Skin Crawl
Or
Made You Feel
- For Lack Of More Fitting Descriptives -
Contaminated
Unclean
Dirty?!

In Said Service
Did You Think To Ask Yourself:

Soul, Who Are They Worshipping?!

Did You Hear Things Said
AND
Wondered:

Why Is No One Objecting?!

AND

Did You Hear
AND
Observe
The Monotonous
Frenzied Repetition
Of Words Phrases
That Sent People Into Raptures
Uncaring
Unknowing
Unmindful
Of What It Is That They Are Doing?!

What Reason
- If Any -
Are You Aware Of
That Requires A Christian Called
To Repeat The Name

"Emmanuel!"

Or Even

"Jesus!"

For Ten (10) Solid Minutes?!

Is Not This Vain Repetition?
Is There A Purpose That Is Being Served?
Is Someone Being Instructed?
Is The Name Being Uttered With Understanding
AND
With Ever New Emotion?
Or
- As Is The Norm With The Heathen -
Is The Utterance A Decided Means
To Achieve A Particular 
AND
Perhaps Even
A Malicious
Nigh Unto
A Malevolent End?

Please Ask Yourself ...

What Is That Unclean Spirit
That Is Being Openly Invited In
AND
Welcomed Into
The Church Of God
AND
Why Is No One Objecting?

God Himself
Calls Us To Reason With Him
Our Maker
Sustainer
Provider
Healer Helper
Our Salvation
Our King
AND
Where Necessary
Our Judge!

So ... 

Why Are We
Intelligent Creatures
Permitting
Unregenerate
Priests Pastors Teachers
To Give The Keys 
To The Hearts Of The People Of God
Into The Hands Of That Vile One
Satan?

Satan Is A Church Goer
Willing
Bona Fide!
He Has No Need To Go 
To Dancing Hells
When Who He Wants
Is Wearing Church Clothes
AND
Styling
Stepping High!

Lazy Thinking In A Christian
Is An Attribute To Be Despised
For It Permits
Unfettered Wickedness
To Bloom
Grow
AND
God Forbid
Thrive!

Know What It Is You Are Doing
AND
Why
- In God's Name -
It Is Being Done
AND
If The Answer
Contains Not A 

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

People!
Be Smart!
Cut And Run!
Don't - To Your Self - Lie!

No Idiot Children Will Be In Heaven!
All There Will Have Said:

Satan, Nay!

Jesus, Yeah!

Having Made The Bold Decision Freely
AND
Not By Coerced Descent
Into A Hypnotized Frenzy!

Watch Where You Pray!
Watch With Whom You Play?!
AND
Be Mindful Of What You Say
When You Go
To God In Prayer!

You Cannot Come To God
AND
Tell Him That
You Want
Desire
To Bear His Blessed Name
AND
Stress To Him That
You Will Provide
Your Own Food
(Your Own "Holy" Word)
AND
Your Own Clothing
(Your Own Character)
AND
Think
That You Shall Escape
The Lake Of Fire!

The Way Is Clear
Either - Or
Broad Way
Or
Straight Way Narrow Path!
There Is No Good Way Marked:

"Way Of Man!"

Aka Way Of Perishable Cloth
For That Way Is Always
Always
The Broad Way Of The Lost!

Get A Grip On The Holy God
Through Jesus The Christ
On
The Way Of The Cross
AND
Give Man's Traditional Emotionalism
The "Not-For-Me" Toss!

Worship The Almighty God

In Spirit

And

In Truth!

When Recognition Truly Dawns ... In Prayer!

A Prayer Is The Cry Of The Soul

AND

Because The Holy Spirit

Is There To Bless And Teach

And

Groan In Intercession

In Our Stead

And Chide And Guide

We Learn ... Even As We Pray!

I Was Saying My Prayers One Morning ...

Lord,

Please Grant The Officers

Wisdom And Understanding

And

Protection And Direction

And

Grant To The Soul In Mortal Distress

Care And Comfort

And

Help And Healing

All Accordingly To Your Will

And

In Your Way!

Pity Us All, Lord

And

Do For Us What None

But

A Holy God Can Do! ...

And ... I Stopped

For I
In That Short Moment
Honestly Realized
AND
Recognized Suddenly
AND
Appreciated Thoroughly
That There Is
No Other Being aka Satan
Wannabe God
Mere Man
False God
Idol
Holy Man
Man Thinking Himself As God
Priest Acting As If He Is God
That Can Deliver On The Stated Request
For Blessings
As I Had Just Put Forth
In My Prayer!

How Shocked
Totally Not Shocked
I Am!

Grace And Mercy
Are Met Together
In Our Father's Hands!

Pitying Love
AND
Gentle Caring
Reigns Down Upon Us
From Grand Heaven Above!

Peace And Rest
Combine To Give Us
Respite
From The World
AND
Truth And Light
Combine To Give Us
Ammunition
With Which To Fight The Churl!

Sanctification
Justification
Sustenance
AND
Provision, Too
All Come From The Heart
Of Him Who Made Us
Along With
Forgiveness
Salvation
AND
Redemption, True!

And ...

To Top It All Off
Our Creator
AND
Redeemer
Designates Himself
Our Very Best Friend
The Friend Who Sticks Closer Than Any Brother
The Friend Who Can Our Sickness Unto Death Mend
AND
Raise Us Unto Eternal Life
In The Day
That The End Of The Beginning Shall Cease
AND
The Beginning Of No End
Unto Us
Shall Be Released!

My Heart
In This Is Well Satisfied
AND
So I Say ...

Lord,

Thank You

For Truly Showing Us

Who Is The Real God!

Thank You

For Truly Exposing To Us

Who Is

The Real God-Fraud!

Praise You, Lord

For Being Holy

And

Faithful

And

The Real Father

And

The Eternal God

That No One Can Truly Challenge

Or Ask

Why

How

What For

Do You Do

What You Do?!

Thank You, God

For Being You

For We Know That

Trusting You

Will See Us To The Great Day

When The Celebration Of New Life

Starts ... In Truth!

Bless You, Lord!

We Love You

And

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We, Committed, Plea And Stand!

AMEN.

FAITH & BELIEF: Gods, Gods, Everywhere?!?!

The Conversation Was Pleasant!
The Participants 
- From Various Countries, Ethnicities and Belief Systems -  
Had All Been Respectful and Polite
When,  Suddenly - Out of Left Field -
One Determined Voice
Voiced That Statement-Question Sure To Start "The Nasty Fight!"

I Don't Believe In God!

AND ...

The Flood Gates Opened!


I Can't Prove That There Is OR Isn't A God!

Nature Is God!

Man Is God!

God Is An Absentee Landlord!
He Made Us and Left Us To Destroy Ourselves!

Satan Is God!


Exclamations of Horror Were Heard,  When ...

A Bold Heavy Lyrical Voice said:


Satan and God Are Equally God!


There Followed Consternation ...


Then ...


In Our Family We Have Several Gods 
But One Is More Important Than All The Others!

Who Decided Which God IS More Important Than All The Others?


Another Voice Stated:


We Worship The Sun, and  The Moon, and The Stars in Their Courses!


The Multiplicity of Gods Is Mind-Boggling!

Wood Gods
Stone Gods
Silver Gods
Golden Gods
Bronze Gods
Clay Gods
Rich Gods
Poor Gods
Tree Gods
Sex Gods
Money Gods
Fertility Gods
Animal Gods
Bird Gods
Reptile Gods
River Gods
Sea Gods
Lake Gods
Air Gods
Fire Gods
Wind Gods
Storm Gods
Peace Gods
War Gods
Evil Gods
Malicious Gods
AND
Gods On Top of Gods and ... More Gods!


There Was A Lull In The Discussion When Timon Called My Name and Said:

We Have Not Heard A Word From You!

And Asked:

How Many Gods Do YOU Have?


I Quietly Replied:

I Have, and Believe In, One God!


Ino Pointed At Me And Said:

You Must Be Very Poor Indeed To Only Have One God!


Everybody Laughed Uproariously!


I Felt Energized And I Stood Up 
And Uttered A Silent Prayer And Began ...


In Your World View I Appear God-Poor BUT

I Believe In The One True Living Holy Eternal God
Who Made The Heavens And This Planet
And Everything On It And In It,
And Everyone Of You, And Me,  Too!

I Cannot See My God!
I Cannot Make The Almighty God!
AND
I Cannot Elevate Nor Denigrate My God!

I Cannot Place My God On A Shelf!

I Cannot Conceive Of The Face Of My God
So I Cannot Make A Statue Or Painting of Him To Venerate
For He Calls That Idolatry
AND
He Deems Such A Sin!

His Holy Word Clearly Says That The
World Cannot Contain Him

AND

Furthermore,

He IS A Consuming Fire
He IS A Spirit
AND
He IS Jealous For The Worship That Belongs Solely To Him

AND

He Says That I Must Worship Him In Spirit
AND
In Truth!

My God Is Holy

AND

My God Is My Shepherd
My Savior
My Redeemer
My Provider
AND
My Sustainer!

He IS Love!
He IS Life!
He IS Light!
He IS The Way
AND
He IS Truth!

He IS My Companion
AND
We Have A Relationship
AND
He IS My Friend
Until My Life Shall End!

He Gives Me His Peace!
He Gives Me His Rest

AND

Direction
Protection
Correction
Hope
Help
AND
He Provides Healing When My Spirit and My Body Are Tried!

When I Sin Against His Holy Name
He Restores My Soul
After I Confess
AND
Repent
Of That Sin!

AND

My God Has Given Me Of His Holy Spirit
To Dwell Within My Heart
To Comfort Me
AND
To Teach Me!

My God's Holy Spirit Also Chides Me
To Do What Is Right
When I Start Leaning
On My Weak And Carnal-Minded Self!

He Leads Me
He Guides Me
He Holds Me
AND
He Carries Me At One And The Same Time!

What Rubbish!

No God Is Anybody's Friend!

Nor Their Companion Either!

Our Gods Take Everything We Own!

Our Gods Don't Give Us Anything!

Our Gods Don't Care What We Do!

No God That I Know
Can Lead, Guide, Hold and Carry You
At One And The Same Time!

True! True!

YOUR GODS Can't Do All Those Things
At One And The Same Time
BUT
My God
God Almighty
God The All Seeing
God The All Knowing
God The Ever Present
MY GOD -  Your God,  Too -  If You Want Him
The True And Living God
The Ancient Of Days
The Eternal God
CAN and DOES
All of That And More
Every Moment of Every Day!

AND ...

Best Of All
He Sent His Only Begotten Son
The Darling Of Heaven
To This Planet
To Die For My Sin
AND
YOURS,  TOO!

AND ...

His Son, Jesus Christ - The Righteous
Conquered Sin,  Death And The Grave
AND
Is Alive 
AND
Has Prepared A Home For Me In Heaven!
All Of You Can Receive That Blessing As Well!

There Was A Sudden - Deathly - Quiet In The Room!

AND, THEN ...

The Voice That Started It All
Quietly, And Earnestly, Asked:

Would You Tell Us More About This Amazing and 
Giving God That IS Yours and 
How We May Know Him?

YES! Yes!

Teach Us!

Please Do! 

Dear Ones:

People all around The World are dying to hear The Word of God!

Please share The Truth, The Good News, so that another Heart may be Blessed of God.

Remember, as The Apostle Paul said: "I Planted, Apollos Watered; but God Giveth The Increase!" 1 Corinthians 3:6

Just Share, and Move Along, for God, Himself Promised   

May The Blessings and Bounties of Heaven Be Yours,

Betty

Happy Sabbath + God Gave Me His Blessed Assurance + Prayer: Thank You, Lord

God Gave Me His Assurance
He said He'd always be Mine
My Heart is now Overflowing
Because He is Ever Loving, Faithful and Kind!

God Wrote Out For Me His Promise
He signed it in Jesus' Blood
He sends Me Showers of Blessings
Which flow ever like a rushing Great Flood!

God Gave Me His Assurance
That Sin has a waiting Just Fate
And if I walk in Christ's Righteousness
I won't Suffer The Bold Sinner's Fate!

I am to Do Good to All Men
I must Continually Pray and Give Praise
I must Trust in God's Goodness
And never His Holy Name denigrate!

I Trust in God's Blessed Assurance
And I took Me The Great Plunge
Into The Watery Grave of Baptism
And I Emerged Thoroughly Cleansed by The Blood!

Holy Spirit has Taken Up Residence
And is Guarding My Heart's Gate
I now walk Me in The Right Way
For with Heaven I have a Going Into The House Date!

Thank You, Lord, for Hearing

Thank You, Lord, for Healing

Thank You, Lord, for The Helping Hand

That is Guiding my footsteps to My New Home

On The Holy Hill of Zion

Where Peace and Rest are Declared

Where Love and Life are Eternal

Where Fear and Night cannot appear

Where Death and Hell have no standing

Where The Holy God is Commanding

And You are in My Eyesight clear.

Amen
