HAPPY SABBATH + Satan's Pet Dog + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Hold On To Hope!

Satan Has Some Favorite Dogs
Some Pets You May Well Say!
His Favorite Dogs' Name Is Hopelessness
And
No Surprise
They Are Not Leash Trained
Nor House Broken
And
They Are Runners
Wanderers
And
Are Found All Over The Place!

On Any Given Day
In Every Single Country
In Every Single Family
In Every Single Congregation
In Every Single Corporation
In Every Single Group
In Short
In Every Nation, Kindred, Tongue And People
There Is Someone
Rich, Poor, Free, Bond
Young, Middle-Aged, Old
Sighted, Blind
Physically Sick, Physically Well
Known Spiritually Sick, Supposedly Spiritually Well
Drugged Up, Sober
Employed, Unemployed
Housed, Homeless
Married, Single
Divorced, Divorcing
Heterosexual, Homosexual
Bisexual, Transsexual
Asexual, Pansexual, Inquiring
Master, Servant
Pastor, Priest, Preacher

Head Of State, Politician

Criminal, Non-Criminal
Who Has The Dog Called Hopelessness
Either On Their Lap
On Their Feet
Licking Their Face
Licking Their Hand
On Their Bed
In Their Arms

Watering It, Feeding It
Conscientiously Grooming It
And
Doing It All Unconcernedly!

Hopelessness Enters The Home
The Heart
Very Often As A Stray
Desperately Needing A Forever Home
With A "Mommy" Or A "Daddy"
To Love Him Unconditionally
And
Willing To Do All To Make His Remaining Years Of Life
Idyllic ... Carefree ... Comfortable
And That 
Beyond Measure!

Truth Be Told ...

Hopelessness Is An Unconscionable Bastard

An Unrepentant Heathen
A Salmon-Tot Retriever
A Parasite
A Leach
A Cockroach
A Slug
A Parrot
A Peacock With Tail Unfurled
A Brown Peahen
A Gully Boar
A Rutting Bull
A Dog In Heat
A Prostitute
A Pimp
A Banana Peel
Tar
Oil
Mercury
And
Has No Sense Of Loyalty
Loves No One
Fears No One
Feels For No One
And
Destroys Anybody
No. Reason. Required!

Every Day's Got A 4:00 p.m.
Every Week Has The 4th Commandment Sabbath!
The Sun Rises!

The Sun Sets!
Seasons Change
And
Man Ages
But
Dear Lord, Help Us
Damnable Hopelessness Stays The Same!

You Can Do What You Want
But
Not As Long As You Want
And
Only Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Creator
The Savior
The Redeemer
The King ... The Judge
By His Holy Spirit
The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
Can Put Paid To Hopelessness' Ambition Of
World Aka Soul Domination
And
Mankind's Everlasting Destruction!

Facing Facts ...

Jesus Christ Alone Saves
Sets The Prisoner Truly Free
Gives Peace That Passes Human Understanding
And
Causes One To Walk Wisely!

Know This ...

Hopelessness Has Two Fleas
Impulse And Inclination
And
Unless One Does The Surrender-All-To-Jesus Deal
Be Aware That What Comes Next
No Matter How Long It Takes
Is 
Nothing Short Of Sudden Destruction!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind,

Forgive Our Feverish Ways

And Bless Us To Be Reminded That

Jesus Christ Is King

And That We, Your Believing Children

May Call Upon His Matchless Name

For Help With Any And Every Thing!

Father,

Your Word Has Plainly Told Us

To Hope In The Living God

The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith

And Our Only Hope For Soul Salvation

And, Yet

Hopelessness Is Our Scourge

Our Hair Shirt

Our Self-Flagellation Cords!

Please Pity Us!

Father,

Please Open Our Eyes

And Help Us Plainly To See

That Satan The Bold

The One Fallen

Eternally Disgraced

Is Our Proven Enemy!

Help Us Not To Doubt His Existence

Trivialize His Power

Nor His Prowess

Nor Be Doubtful Of His Hate For Us

Because Of His Practiced Hatred

For The Holy Jesus!

Please Help Us To See Satan For What He Is

For What He Is Doing

For What He Can Do

And For What He Is Capable Of Achieving

When We Take Our Eyes, Our Hopes

Our Affections

Away From Our King Jesus!

Help Us To Also Recognize

That He May Only Go As Far As

You, Our Holy God, Allow!

Father,

Please Draw Us Nearer!

Please Help Us Not To Labor In Vain!

Please Help Us To Stand Firm

In The Faith Of Jesus

And Not To Make Jesus Christ's Sacrifice

In Our Behalf

A Thing That Is Disgraced!

Father,

Pity Us Who Pray!

Please Help Us To Deny The Liar

And Live Joyfully, Abundantly

Not Looking At What Is

But At What Can And Shall Be

When We Live In Your Holy Will!

Please Help Us, Dear Father

To Trust You

Where We Can't Trace Your Presence!

To Love You

When We Are Feeling Unloved!

To Believe You

When Unbelievable Things

Are Daily Occurring In Our Lives!

To Hope In The Finished Work Of

The Lord Jesus Christ

Who Has Proved His Love

And Is Daily Proving His Love For Us 

By What He Has Done

By Living On Earth

By Dying On The Accursed Tree

By Getting Up And Rising Up To Glory

By Performing The Glorious Work

As Our High Priest

Our Only Intercessor

As Our Only Hope

For Attaining Surpassing Glory!

Father,

Please Help Us Not To Look In

But To Look Up!

Please Help Not To Make A Move

Without Consulting The Preserved Word Of Truth

And Praying For Your Leading

Your Sure And Secure Direction!

Please, Father

Pour Out Of That Sweet Spirit

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Upon Your Praying, Believing

Hoping, Loving, Caring

Watching, Working, Waiting People

And Bless Us To Have Hope

And

To Give A Good Word

A Word Of Encouragement

A Reason For Hope

To Those Who Are Feeling Lonely

Lost And Alone ... Hopeless!

Help Us To Reach For That Holy Hand

That Is Extended To Us In Love And Loyalty

And Bless Us Not To Look Back

Look Around

Nor Turn Back Unto Things That Cannot

Will Not Ever Profit!

Thank You For Hearing Our Prayer!

Thank You For Answering Our Petitions!

Thank You For Providing Comfort And Aid!

Thank You For Living Truth 

And

Holy Light

And

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Day And Night!

Our Hope Is In The Lord Christ!

Help Us To Remain Fixed And Focused

On The Hope That Maketh Not Ashamed

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That We Pray And Ask These Few Petitions!

We Love You!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

IN CHRIST ... We Never Walk Alone!

ONE. MORE. TIME.... (sigh)

Instead Of Suicide
Or
Suicide By Cop
How About Man Choosing
Life Through Christ
For An Eternity Spot!

Wherever You Turn
All You Are Hearing
Reading
Are Instances Of Self-Inflicted Death
AKA
Death Without Hope
For Many Are Our Sons And Daughters
Who
- With Life -
Know Not How To Cope!

Bullying
Friendlessness
Helplessness
Feelings Of Uselessness
Unfaithfulness
Rejection
No Visible Hope
Are All Calling Forth Death-Whispers
From Satan 
AND
His Kind
Urging All Who Will
To Leave Life
AND
Clean, Contented-In-Christ Living
Behind!

Brother!
Sister!
Please!
There Is A Way!
A Way To Salvation!
A Way Away From Self
To The Living Holy Way
With Jesus Christ
Who Is Our Salvation
Our Way To Eternal Life
Our Way Out Of Planned Destruction
Our Only Way To Survive 
This Life's Bitter Strife!

Jesus Saves!
Is No Catch Prase!
Jesus Christ Is The Way
Whereby All 
Who Seek To Have Their Soul's Fed
May Freely Do So
For He Is
The King Of Love
The Truth
Our Way To Life!

AND ...?

All Who Seek Life
May Seek Life
Without Fear Of Christ's Condemnation
AND
Without Man's Projected And Anticipated Regret
AND
Without The Ball And Chain Of Sin
Dragging The Soul Down
For
Jesus Christ Offers Hope
Which Will Be Satisfied
AND
With Hope Springing Eternal
He Welcomes All Home
Who Reach Out 
AND
Touch
The Holy Hand
Which Conquered Sin
Death
AND
Hell!
A Child Of The Heavenly Father
Is Never Friendless
Never Loveless
Never Useless
Never Comfortless
AND
NEVER, EVER
Walks Alone!

So ... What?

Jesus Christ
Is Our Priest
AND
Our Intercessor
IF
We Will Trust His Word
AND
His Love
AND
Accept His Grace
AND
His Mercy
AND
Call On Him
To Receive Us
AND
Welcome Us
Into His Heart
The Family Home!

Sin Brings Despair To Life!
Salvation Brings Life To Living Amidst Strife!
Life In Christ Now
AND
Eternal Life With Christ Later
IS
What The Desperate Sinner Needs
IF
He Wills To Stop Satan
From Upon His Sorrowing 
Malignantly
To Feed!

Trust God ... And Go!
Trust God ... And Grow!
Grow In Grace Through Faith
AND
No Matter What That Hellish Fiend Throws At You
Give It To Emmanuel
- Christ With Us -
AND
Walk In Confidence
Knowing That Eternal Life
With The Friend
That Sticks Closer To Us Than Any Brother
Is Laid Out
AND
IS
Before Us
AND
IS
Waiting
For Us!

When You Walk Through Your Storm

Hold Your Head Up High

And Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark

For He Who Made The Dark

Is The Creator Of Us All

And

He Wills To Take Us All To His Home!

Walk On! Hold His Hand!

Walk On! He Died So That You Can!

Walk On! Fear Not Satan's Whispered Words!

Listen To God's Holy Spirit

The Comforter Of Your Soul!

Good Angels Will Surround You!

Get Out From Among The Hell-Bound Herd

AND

You'll Never, Ever, Ever, Walk Alone!

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

Make A Plan To Live

For

Making A Plan To Die

Because Someone

Something

Made You Cry

Is

A Trick Of The Lost One

That Satan

Who Is

The Father Of Lies!

Call Upon Jesus Instead!

He Is The King Of Life

And

In Him

Your Soul Is Ever Fed!

HUMAN WILL : Payday!

Evil Always Looks Like Fun!
Evil-Doers Always Appear 
As Though They Are Having
The Grandest Time
UNTIL
The Dawning Of ... The Day
When
Dollar-Bill Makes His Demand
AND
Ain't-Got-It 
Has Not A Leg Upon Which To Stand!

Somebody Is Going To Have To Pay!!

There Are Times
When I Think
It Would Be A Pleasure
To Hear An Evil Person Say:

"I Was Good!"
"I Did Good Today!"
"Jesus Made Me Do It!"
"Hip!  Hip!  Hooray!"
BUT
That Would Be
A Big Fat Lie
For
Jesus Does Not Lie
Nor Does His Word
AND
His Word Says 
He Will Not Take Liars Into His Home!

So ... World

WE Have A Problem!

Every Man
Must Find God
For Himself 
Even If It Means
He Shacks Up With Fraud
For God Gave Each Human
A Will And A Way!

However A Man Wills And Walks
One Day - Bitter Or Sweet
He Will Receive 
His Justly Earned Pay!

If He Chooses To Follow
The Loud Crowd
Wining and Dining
AND
Behaving Like The Wallowing Hog
It Will Be By His Own Choice
For
Jesus Christ Bends No Man's Wrist
Nor Does He Order Compliance
By Pulling Out A Big Fist!

If Man Chooses To Follow
The Loud Mouth Idealogue
It Is His Choice!

If His Companions Rejoice
 - At The End -
When To The Market He Is Bespoken
It Will Have Been His Choice
If He Is Skinned
Quartered
Shattered - Mind Completely Broken!

BUT ...

If He - Man - Hears
AND
The Spirit's Call He Obeys
AND
Off To Jesus
From The Devil's Chain
He Breaks
He Will Find
A Glorious "Welcome Home!" Feast
Celebrating The Restoration
Of The One
That All But Jesus Called
Lost!
Deceased!

A Big Mouth 
Does Not A Good Teacher Make
Neither Does A Small Voice 
A Pushover or Fake!

Think Prayerfully Of Those You Will To Follow!

The Holy Spirit Will Call 
AND
Call Out To You
Until You Respond
- By Thought,  Word, Or Deed -
"Depart!
You Have No Part In Me
For I Won't On Your Green Grass Feed!"

In That Day
The Very Devil Becomes Your Daddy!

You Will Have Chosen
Your Own Pay Master

AND NOW ...

With No Jesus To Save You
Your Life Is Twice A Fatality 
Utter and Complete!
There Is No Turning Back!
You Are Finished 
- A Disaster -
AND
Just Like Humpty
You'll Have No Need For Wet Plaster!

Soooo,
