HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER : Father, Draw Me Nearer!

Oh, Thou Who Hearest Prayer

I Acknowledge That Indeed

I Am Flesh - Weak

Daily Dying

Constantly Grieved

Often Crying

And

Come Before Thee

As One Humbled

In The Light Of Your Sacrificial Love

Thankful For Your Grace

Which - To Me -

Is Unmerited Favor

Praising You

For The Gift Of The Faith Of My Jesus

Bowing Before Your Free Mercy

Rejoicing In Your Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Claiming The Promises That Are Eternally True

Glorying In

And

Glorifying The Coming King

Resting In The Comfort

Correction

And

Teaching

Of The Holy Spirit

Walking The Narrow Way

Free

In The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Blessing The Eternal God

Who Is Jealous For My Love

And Saying

I Love You, Lord!

Help Me, Father

To Ever To Lift Up My Voice In Praise

And

Bow My Head In Worship

And

May In Ever Be So

For I Desire To Attain The Right

To Walk Through Heaven's Gate

Beckoned By Him

Who Is The Door!

Lord,

I Desire Cleansed Eyesight

Ordered By Your Oversight!

I Desire To Be Led

And

Sheltered

And

Protected

By Him 

-The Good Shepherd -

Who Gently Leads

The Little Flock

And

Who Carries The Young Ones In His Bosom!

I Desire, Lord

To Rest

In Peace

In The Bright Mansions

In Zion

And 

To Walk

- Unmolested -

On Streets Of Gold

In The Protected Fold!

I Desire To Drink Of The Water

Of The River Of Life

Knowing

That Never Again

Will My Life Know Man's Striving

Nor

The Devil's Strife!

Lord, Please Haste The Day!

Oh, Father

I Desire To Eternally Abide

In That Rest

Under Everlasting Arms

Sheltered With The Blessed

Some Of Whom Will Have Championed The Faith 

With The Martyr's Sacrifice

All 

Having Their Known-Sin Confessed!

Keep Us, Lord, Until The Day!

Father, 

You Are Able

To Prepare A Seat For Me

At Your Welcome Table

And I

- Believing That Your Promise

Can Never Be A Fable -

Ask You To Fix My Heart To Yours

With Christ's Shed-Blood Cable!

I Am Yours, Lord!

Father,

I Beseech You To Draw Me Nearer

And

Help Me To See You More Clearly

And

Hold Your Love To Me More Dearly

For

I Am Eager For The Great Day

When Home Is Where

I Am Forever Living

With You!

In That Name

The Worthy Name

- Jesus Christ The Righteous - 

I Stand And Plead

For

I Have No Other God But Thee!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Happily Independently Dependent on Jesus Christ!

Yesterday I said I was Independent
But then I found out it was all a Lie!
I found out I was dependent upon Emotions
Impressions, Current Lies and Worldly Ties!

And then...

Then I heard about Jesus and
The Freedom that He Brought Bought
And when I believed The Message
I was well and truly caught
Up and moved to great tears!
I was moved to cry: "Free Me, please!?!

I'd been a #SlaveToLife'sPassions
And they'd brought me bruised and bleeding to my knees!
I asked and asked Life's Bright Agents to help me -
They all just enjoyed hearing my pleas
But not one lifted a finger help me 
Without extending The Hand saying: "Cash, please!?!"

Well...

The Message spoke of The Master
Jesus, The True Light of The World!
Not of illuminated wannabes
Selling Souls for gold, positions and pearls!

The Master is Kind and Gentle!
He, it is, who Gives Me My Days
He, it is, who Died To Free Me
By Sacrifice and Raising Himself From The Grave!

He, it is, who Gives Unto All Freewill
He, it is, who Gives The Ability To Choose
He, it is, who Accepts Our Decision
To Pray, Plead, Petition, or To Move
On to other than Salvation's Green Pastures
To be Free to Wallow in Sin's Swill
To be Free to be a Slave To Lusts' Appetites or
To Be Truly Free by saying:
"In Me, My God, please Enter In!"

True Freedom doesn't come by Being Free To Do Wrong!
True Freedom comes from Being Able To Do Wrong
BUT, instead, saying: "No!"

True Freedom comes from Resting in God's Promises
And Knowing that, soon, He is Coming on down
To Earth, to Reward its Inhabitants
Each according to What He Has Done
Not to Gain The World and its Presents
But to Profit His Own Soul at The Last Trumpet Sound!

I have been Freely Independent!
I have been Foolishly Free ... In Me!
But, today, Thank The Lord, I have become Wise!
I now know that Freedom in Laws and Ways Without King Jesus
Will Earn Me The Reward of The Sulphur Blaze!

But...

I PREFER 

The Reward 

of

The Wise Unto Salvation!

I prefer The Reward of The Wise Unto Salvation
The Wisdom that comes from #LettingAlmightyGodLead
The Wisdom that comes from Rejecting Prideful Self-Aggrandizement
From Rejecting Satan's Ambassadors
Of Licentious Living, Lice, Luck, and God-wannabes!

I stand today ... Independent
Indwelt by Holy Spirit God
Independently Free to Sleep Without Worry
Of what Wicked Man Can Will Do to Me!

I say My Prayers!
I give The Wall World My Back!
I Trust in Jesus' Love
And I Relax
To Bask in The Glory
Of Him Who Is Soon Coming Back
To Give Me The Great Crown of Victory
For The Way Not Turning Aside Nor Back!

SING, GOD'S PEOPLE! SING!!

#VictoryInJesus!

In Him I'm Truly Free!

No one is going to drown me

In the Burning Lake, believe me!

Independent in Jesus

In Him I'm Truly Free!

Victory! Through Jesus

I'm Free! Free! Free!!

To All God's People:

#HappyIndependence-In-JesusDay!

You ARE Free!!

Keep Pressing On To Glory!!
