Never Again To See Strife!

The Son Of Man

IS

The Son Of God ... FIRST

AND

It Is He

Who Created The Stellar Universe!

The King Of Love

IS

Love ... FIRST

AND

It Is He

Who Will Love Us Out From Under The Curse!

The Good Shepherd

IS

The Lamb Slain ... From The Foundation Of The Earth

AND

It Is He

Who Paid With Innocent Blood To Have Man's Curse Reversed!

The Prince Of Peace

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Blessing God

The Merciful One Who Gives Saving Grace

IS

The Very One

From Whom We Get Faith

To Have Faith In Him

AND

He Is The One

Who Took My Disgrace (Yours, Too)

To Give Me In Almighty God's Heaven

A Sure And Secure

Personal Dwelling Place!

I Long To See Your Face, Lord!

Lovely, You Are To Me!

I Long To Touch Your Hand, Lord!

You Who Made Humanity!

I Long To Get Home To You, Lord

The Designer

Creator ... Supreme

So That I

Dead To Carnal Life

And

Living To See Eternal Life

May Rise Up To Live With You

In Perfect Peace

For All Eternity

Never Again To See Strife!

Holy Is The Almighty God!

He Is Faithful ... Unlike The Marauding Fraud!

He Is The Helpful And The Giving, Blessing God

AND
Where He Is
Is My Home
AND

He Is My Heart's Treasure

The One For Whom I Turn From Earthly Pleasure

Because

I Desire To Be Like Jesus The Christ
AND
With Him
- In His Haven Of Rest -
Live Together Forever!

PRAYER: Father, I Have Learned ...!

Father,

I Have Learned

- And Indeed It Is So -

That As Your Living Word Says

There Is No Profit

No Blessing

In Sin

In Living A Sinful Life

In Doing Sinful Things

For

Therein Is The Way Of Cruel Strife!

With A Heart Contrite

And

A Spirit Broken

I Confess

And

I Repent, Lord

So Please Keep Me

To Do Battle In The Good Fight

For I Now

- In The Faith Of My Jesus -

Deny The Liar

And

His Gutter-Walking Ways

And

I Look Up

For I Now Truly Know

From Whom My Help Comes -

The Ancient Of Days!

Father,

I Am Pleading!

Help Me To Not Look Back!

Help Me To Not Be Like

Mrs. Lot

For

I Have No Desire

To Suffer The Eternal Blot!

I Desire To See The Light

He Who Gives Life

In Peace

And 

In Raptures

When He Breaks The Clouds In The East!

I Desire To Be Glorified

To Be Clothed In Heaven's Garments Of White

And

I Desire To Rise Up

To Meet My Lord And My God

And

With All The Redeemed Of God

And 

With Angelic Companions

To Make The One-Way Flight!

Lord,

I Desire The New Name

The True Gold Crown

The Overcomers' Victory Palm

And

I Desire To Possess The Instrument Of Praise

That Golden Harp

And

Lord, Have Mercy

I Do Desire To Hear:

"My Child! Well Done!

Take This Your Place!"

Father,

Only You Can Bless Me!

Only The Holy Spirit Can Keep!

On Jesus Can Plead For Me

And

Only Holy Angels

- At Your Command -

Can Ever Protect Me!

I Give You Praise!

Grant Me, Lord

The Dailies - Grace

Faith, Mercy

And

Personal Over-Sin Victory

And

Please, Dear Father

Help Me To Sing Your Name

Like A Joyful Canary

Whenever That Decimating Fraud

In All His Iterations

Against Me

Does Approach!

Lord,

Help Me

So That Against Me

He Had Nothing About Which To Gloat!

Father,

I Willingly Give My Self To You

And

Also My Will

And

My Way

And

I, In Full Control

Of All My Faculties

Say:

In Jesus' Name

Lead The Way!

Lead The Way!

I Love You!

I Bless You!

In The Hope Of The Promises

- With Your Rich Blessing -

I Shall Stand

For

In Denying That Gross Liar

I Also Reject The Traditions 

Of Fallen Hell-bent And Bound Man!

I Give You All My Praise

And

All My Worship

In The Name Of Him

Who Shall Soon

Put In His Appearance - Jesus The Christ!

AMEN!

Lord, I Am Rejoicing In Thee!

Calling The Prince Of Peace Who Is Calling!

I Walked Gingerly Between

The World's
How Terrible!
AND
That's Awful!
Oh, Hell!
Hot Damn!
AND
You're Screwed!
AND
Knew That
No Way Was I Going To Escape
Unmarked
Unscathed
Unless
The Prince Of Peace
Carried Me Safely Through!

I Just Knew That To Be True!

I Passed A Neighbor-In-Trial
Facing Tribulation
AND
I Asked:

Did You See The Prince Of Peace
On The Way Today?!

He said:

I Really Couldn't Tell You
For
I Was Too Tired
Too Distraught
To Think Straight

To Summon Him
By Persistent, Heartfelt, Prayer!

I Grabbed At That Straw 

That My Neighbor Had So Casually Tossed Me  ...

Summon The Prince Of Peace!

AND

I Said A Prayer
Ever So Softly  ...

Creator Of The Universe
Maker Of Man
I Am In The Cross Road
Would You Please Hold My Hand
For
Life's Traffic Is On Fire
And
That Big Roaring Lion Does Fiercely Roar
And
My Head Is Fair Spinning
And My Hair Is Developing
A Straight Curl!

The Woes! The Woes!

Dear Child  ...

I Looked Toward That Voice
Gently Hailing Me
AND
I Knew Instant Relief From Stress
AND
Distress!

Things Were No Longer Askew
For
Here Was The God Of All!
The Master Of the Sea!
The Soul's Savior!
The Salvation Of Those Who Wanted To Be Saved
AND
Would Be!
The Voice Of The Giver Of Grace!
The Dispenser Of Faith!
The Mediator!
The Man Of Mercy!

AND
The Christ
Who Hell Tried But Couldn't Displace!

I Started Singing
Fit To Beat It
Had There Been A Band
For My Heart Was Soaring
Because He
The Prince Of Peace Is
Securely Holding
My No-Longer-Trembling Hand!

When He Who Is Peace Steps In
Satan Runs Out
So Don't Make Any Sudden Moves -
Always Give Him The First Shout-Out!

In All Endeavors
- To Almighty God -
In The Name Of The Prince Of Peace
Say Your Prayers
For
Comfort
Protection
Provision
Rescue
Thanksgiving
Lamentation
Sorrows
Praise
Worship
Whatever Have You!
Say Your Prayers!
Sing Your Praise!

Get For Your Own Soul
A Secure Hold On
Always Available
Mercy-On-Me
I Sincerely Tell You
AND
Give The Eternal God Glory
Who Giveth Unto The Devil

Your Dog-Biscuits-Of-Sin
AND

Trust In The God Of Heaven
For
Your Unto-Eternity Rescue

For
Eternal Blessings Await!
He Awaits The Call From You!

I Am Calling Him Now!

Won't You Do It, Too?!

The Prince Of Peace Is Calling You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Reconverted Converted Christian!?!

There Is A Contentious Matter In Christendom
Regarding
Conversion
Reconversion
AND
Real Christian Christianity
Which
Causes Christians
To Behave Un-Christian
AND
Causes Non-Christians To Curse
Called-Christians' Un-Christlike Christianity!

Wow!
That's A Mouthful!

And ... True!

Look At Sin!
Sin Transgresses God's Law!
All Men Sin
Ergo
All Men Are Sinners!

Sinners Need Forgiveness!
Forgiveness Comes From God
AND

You Need Christ To Get To God!

Christ IS The Bridge
The Stairway
To Reach God!

How Do You Get To Jesus!?

Hear The Word!

Faith Comes By Hearing
The Word Of The Lord!

The Word Says We Need A Savior
AND
The Holy Spirit Calls Us!

Our Savior Is Jesus Christ!

We Must Believe That He Is Who He Says That He Is!
We Must Believe He Can Do
What He Says He Will Do!

You Gotta Acknowledge Your Sin

And Repent And Confess!

What Has That Got To Do
With Conversion And  Reconversion?!

How Does One Get From Being Converted
To Being In Need Of Reconversion?!

We Have A Couple Of Things Going On Here:

A Convert Who Was Never Truly Heart Converted
AND
A True Convert
Who Became Complacent
AND
"Lapsed" Into Sin!
Planned Sin aka Iniquity
Which Is A Real Problem
Because
One Can Turn Away From The Obvious!

Let's Start With
Be Careful Ye That Think Ye Stand ... Lest Ye Fall

AND

Work Out Your Own Salvation 
With Fear And Trembling!

Question:
Who Was A Shepherd
Warrior Psalmist King Sweet Singer Prophet
Man After God's Own Heart?

David, Son Of Jesse!

Question:

Who Became A Lying
Fornicating Adulterer
Murderer Who Indulged
The Poisoned Pen
To Kill A Mighty Man
Who Had Been
His Faithful Friend?!

King David, Son Of Jesse!

Did David Love God?
Was David - From His Youth -
A Valiant Warrior
Zealous For God's Name?

Yes!

King David Poured Out
His Whole Heart
In Praise And Adoration
Of His God
And He Had Even Put His Life On The Line
With That Giant
- Goliath Of Gath -
As His Proof Of Love His Lord!

So You Would Say That
David Believed In

Submitted Himself To

AND
Loved Trusted
Obeyed Worshipped
Praised Glorified
Preached 
AND
Taught Of God
So That Made Him A "Converted Christian!?" 

Yes, I Would!

So, Pray Tell ...

How You Would Explain
Shepherd David
Going From The Joyful Confidence Of Psalm 23
To The Sorrow Of Repentance Of King David In Psalm 51
To The Jubilation Of Restoration Found In Psalm 32?!

He ...!
Well ...!
I Don't Know!

Let Me Help You:

Shepherd David Met God
In Nature
In The Hills Of Judah!
He Humbly Sought After His God!

King David Met Satan

On The Rooftop Of A Palace In Jerusalem!
He Revelled In His Fleshy Powers And Prowess!

King David Reacquainted Himself With His God
In The Agony Of Repentance 

On His Face Before God 

- After The Death Of Two Innocents -
As A Consequence Of His Blighted Actions!

Bottom Line ...

King David Truly Loved God
BUT ... 
The Wandering Lust In His Eye
Motivated By The Puffed-Up Pride In His Life
Lubricated By The Biting Lust Of His Flesh
Blinded Him
To The Light Of Life
AND
He Blinked
AND
Lost
His Link To Redeeming Love!

Thankfully, Though ...

Upon Being Severely Chastised
AND
Being Made Aware Of His Sure Punishment
King David's Godly Sorrow For Sin
ANDConfession Of Error
AND
Repentance For Wrongdoing
- With Real Tears Of Contrition -
Caused The Cleansing His Eyes
AND
The Restoration Of His Sight
So That - Again -
He Could See The Light Of Life!
AND
He Held On
- Never Again To Let Go -
To His Soul's Savior
The Very Savior
That Christians Today
Are Interpreting
Reinterpreting
Reinventing
Remolding
Recasting
AND
Casting Out Of Christ's Christianity!

There Is One Living God!
One Redeeming Christ!
One Chiding, Comforting Holy Spirit!
One Way To The Everlasting Father
AND
One Constant Call To Sure Salvation
While
Mercy's Door Is Still Open For Business!

Since We Need Mercy
That Obviously Means That There Is Justice!
Since There Is Justice
That Obviously Means There Is Sin (Crime)!

Sin Transgresses God's Law
BUT
The God Of Love
IS
Also The God Of Mercy
AND
Sorrowful Repentance
- Not Excuses
- Not Small Man-Made Plasters On Festering Wounds
Will Bring Us Reconciliation
To The Almighty
All-Knowing
Always Present
Can't-Be-Surprised
King Of Glory!

The Problem, Though ...

Modern Christianity
Does Not Hold With
Acknowledging Sin 
Unto Confession
Unto Repentance
Unto Reconciliation
Unto Promised
AND
Sure Salvation
By Righteousness Aka Right Living
AND
Walking With God By Faith
AND
That Is Why
Conversion
Reconversion
Is An Issue For Today
AND
Why So Many Christians
Contentedly Say:

Many Men!

Many Minds!

Let's Be Kind

And

Lift Up The Common Good

Because

Our God Who Made Us

Has Always

Our Mere Men Ways

Understood!

It's All Good!

May The Only True God
Save Us
From Our Sinful Selves!
Every Individual 
Needs A Committed 
AND
Personal Relationship
With
The Only Living Holy Saving Redeeming God
Who Can Remake Us
In His Own Holy Image
Despite What The Doctors Of The Church
Adhering To The Traditions Of Men
Now Say!!

Are You Truly Converted To Jesus Christ?

Peace AND Security?! + PRAYER: Father, I Expect To See My Jesus!

Worldwide Widespread Discontent
Gross Greed
Individual And State-Sponsored Violence
Universal Justified Distrust Of 
Financial
Spiritual And Political Leaders
AND
Spiritual Apathy
Are Eating Out The Hearts Of  All The Nations
AND
People Are Harkening To The Call
Of Peace
AND
Security
For All
Not Realizing
That Everything That Is Happening
Is Motivated
By The Wily Beelzebub
The Founder Of Man's Great Fall!
It's A Bait AND Switch Pitch!

The Nations Are Uniting
Under One Government
Just As They Were United
At The Time Of The Advent Called First!
AND
They Are Speaking The Same Language
- Climate Change -
- I Wish They Would Read Job Chapter 1 -
AND
As Can Be Readily Seen
They Are Ripe As Wine Grapes
For The Second Coming
Of The Lord!

There Is 
No Thing New Under The Sun!
There Is 
No Bell That Has Not Already Been Rung!
What Is 
Is What Has Been
AND
What Has Been 
Is What Shall Be!
Is The Song That Should
In Truth
Be Sung!

National Israel
Longed To Be Freed
From The Roman Yoke
AND
Spiritual Israel
The Israel Of God
Will Be Freed
From Rome
AND
That Ain't No Joke!

Don't Be Deceived
By Ecumenism!
The Roman Emperor 
Constantine The Great Did That First!
AND
Don't Be Amazed By A Roman
Calling Himself
Lord God Divine
For
The Roman Emperor Domitian 81-96 AD
Already Did That, Too!
I Tell You All This Is True!

Blood Will Flow!
Peace Will Be Like Snow
Under
Burning Hot Sun
AND
Believing Men
- At Bodily Peril -
Will Surely Call
Jesus Christ The Great God
AND
The god On The Earth
Used By
AND
Openly Working For
Satan
Will Send Many Men
To A Martyr's Fate!

BUT ...

Be Ye ENCOURAGED!

Faithfully Trust
The King Of Kings
The Lord Of Lords
The God Of Heaven
Who Has Already Ransomed Us
Out Of 
The Hands Of The Cruel Fraud!

Truth Cannot Be Changed!
AND
Jesus Christ's Return
Cannot Be Stayed!
So 
Stand Up
In The Love Of God
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
Give The Back Of Your Front
To That Fraud
Beelzebub
Who Is Already Crushed
Already Damned By 
The Holy And Almighty God!

Faith's Victory 

Is In

Christ Jesus!

Use It OR Lose It!
