Hope Thou In God!

HOPE 

Having Occasions To Pray Everday! 

Are You ... Blessed Child Of The Eternal God

Living A Hope-Filled Life!?! 

What Does Hope Mean To You!?! 

Do You Know That 

Living A Life Where You Have No Hope

Where You Feel Helpless

Makes You As One Heedless, Indifferent, Careless

And 

Deadly Dangerous!?! 

Beloved, 

Placing Your Hope Upon A Fallible Person 

Makes You Prime Real Estate 

For Satan And His Kind To Set Up Shop 

And 

Do A Brisk Trade Of Destruction

At Your Personal Expense! 

Satan ... The Damned ... Has Hope! 

He Has Opportunity To Prey On Someone Every Day 

And

He Takes His Job Seriously! 

Answer The Question ...

Why Don't You Have Hope In Jesus Christ 

Who Calls Us To Have Hope

To Trust

To Rely On Him 

Who Always Saves!?! 

Satan Has But A Short Time 

And 

Being Vilely Opportunistic

He Is Working Hard To Make 

His Number Of Acquisitions Of Lost Souls Look Bountiful! 

Why Aren't You Leaning On The Lord

Trusting His Work

Trusting His Work

Walking By Faith

Enduring All That Comes Your Way 

Knowing That Your Hope In Jesus 

Exchanges Your Borne Cross 

For A Wearable Crown Of Life 

In The Beautiful City Of God 

Where Hope Hands Over Operations 

To Eternal Love, Joy

And 

Perfect Peace!?! 

If The Air Of Entitlement 

Is 

Robbing You Of Your Hope

Stop Instantly

Think Critically

And 

Boldly Drop The Attitude

And 

Humbly Consider That Your Creator ... Your Father 

Is 

In Heaven, High, And Lifted Up

Seated On His Great White Throne

And 

You Are On Earth ... His Footstool!

 Interpretation!?! 

The Lord Sees Everything

Knows Everything

Is Over Everything 

And

He Decides What Is Best For You

When, Where 

And 

How! 

Our Father Makes No Mistakes 

And

His Request For You To Have Hope In Him 

Is 

For Your Temporal Upliftment 

And 

Your Eternal Blessing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Lose The Attitude 

And 

Live Hopefully 

And 

With Gratitude

And

Your Altitude Will Be Blessed 

By Your Living In The Beatitudes!

Peace Be Upon You 

As You Have Faith ... As You Hope

In Jesus Christ Our Lord!

THE FIGHT: Higher Up AND Better Off!

The Slaves Of The Potty Stop
Are Victims!
They Are Victims Of Lord Lie
Who Tells Them
That They Can Humble Jesus
AND
Make The Heavenly Father Cry!

It Is Like This ...

Lord Lie Is The Liar Supreme
AND 
A Spirit Most Foul
Who Thrives On Dissent And Dastardity

AND

Greed And Fermented Jealousy
Are The Prized
Secret-Sauce Ingredients
For His Hell And Damnation Velvet
Icecream Sandwich Truffle Pie!
That Pie Is Legendary!

You See ...

Lord Lie
- Apparently -
Gets Away With Murder
AND

Causing Mayhem And Mutiny
Misery Madness
AND
Malignity
Obfuscation
Orneriness
Pinocchio Olfactory Stimulation
AND
Truth Colorized And Spun
For
Upside Down
Back To Front
Regurgitation!
He Lives What He Churns
AND
Prizes Those
Who At His Feet Avidly Learn!

Lord Lie Is Blight
On Man's Butt
AND
There Is No Human
- In His Own Strength -
Who Can This Benighting Marvel
Come Close
To Hoping To Fight

Much Less For The Win!

Now ...

In The Town Of Tempest Tossed
Are Two Agents
One For Boss Blight
AND
The Other For
Survived D. Cross!

You Should Know That
Boss Blight Is The Avid Sinner
The Reprobate
Of The Fame Of
"I Write The Songs!"

AND

Survived D. Cross
Is The Savior
The Great I Am
The Good Shepherd
The Author 

The Finisher Of The Blessed Assurance
Who Provides
Faith Mercy
Grace Love
Hope Forgiveness
AND
A Home In Bright Mansions
On The Street Called
Eternity Long!

Survive D. Cross' Other Name Is Shiloh
AND
He Gives To Whosoever Wants Its
Rest
AND
Of Perfect Peace
A Piece!

Lord Lie
Aka Boss Blight
Hates Shiloh
AND
All Who Would See Him
At The Great Day
In Peace!

Oh, By The Way ...

Boss Blight's Registered
AND

Remunerated Agent
Is None Other Than
Higher Up!

Working For Survived D. Cross
Aka Shiloh
Is
Better Off The Faithful
Who Works For Free
Because Of Love
AND
The Hope Of The Promise
To Be Futurely Fulfilled!

Higher Up Considers Better Off
No Better Than An Errant Dog Turd

AND

Was Always Stepping Over Him

If You Know What I Mean!

Better Off Is
Well, Better Off
Because
He Has Inherited The Promise
AND
He Knows How
- Not When -
His Story
AND
Lord Lie's "Glory Run"
Will End
AND
Because He Has
A Piece Of Peace's Peace
AND
Trusts Shiloh
For Everlasting Relief
He Can Afford To Take
The Petty Insults
The Vile Barbs
The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked
AND
Still Rest
Peacefully
When Comes The Night!
Sleep With Him Does Not Ever Fight!

For Higher Up, It Ain't So!
He Counts Cash
Counts Coup
Considers Crime
Casts Aspersions
Divides Brethren
Destroys Deliberately
AND
Wanting To Be

!THE WINNER!

Sets About Trying

To Buy The Most Toys!
His Day Is Not Complete
Unless And Until
He Breaks Somebody's Will
AND
Takes Away Their Till!

Higher Up

Is A Willing Wilful Wasteful
Wiseacre Sinner
AND
Proud Of It
Thank You Very Much!
He Can't Spell
Pray
BUT

He Was Spell Prey
Backwards and Forward!
Interesting Thing Indeed!

Higher Up
Is A Grinch
A Grabbit
A Gottit
A Gotcha
A Gainsayer
AND
A Grandstander
AND
A Fiercely Proficient Liar
AND
A Leech On The Distaff Side!
He Gets Something For Nothing
For He Is The Go-To Consultant For Lord Lie
AND
Teaches Ready Learners
How To Riotously Wheel And Steal
AND
How To Always Close A Deal!
He Is The Break Down Merchant!

As We All Know ...

All Good Things
Must Come To An End
AND
On The Sure Day
Higher Up
Thought To Send
Better Off
To His Appointed By Higher Up
End!

Things Didn't Work Out As Planned
AND
Better Off Didn't End Up Where
Higher Up Thought
That He Should Land
Proving
- Beyond All Doubt -
That Deals With The Devil
Have No
For-The-Soul's-Good
Pay Out
For
A Sinner-Dug Grave
For A Loser-Saint
Is A Sinner-Dug Grave
For The Same Grave-Digger-Sinner

AND

The Saint Called Loser

Is The Winner
AND
The Sinner Called Winner
Is The Sure Loser!

We Would Do Well To Remember That ...

Devils Are Damned
For
The Lord God Is In Command
So
Be Careful
For Higher Up - In Sin
Is Never Better Off
For
Here Comes The King
Who Does Of His Children
No Forsaking!

Higher Up
Can't Be
Better Off
When All He Does
Is
The Ways Of Truth And Right
Kiss Off!

You, Personally
Will Be The One
Better Off

IF

You
The Ways Of Sin And Darkness
Cast Off!

Please, I Beseech You ...

Will You?!

Apeirophobia:- Fear Of Everlasting Life!?!

STOP The Presses!
I've Just Heard It All!
Because You Have Never Experienced Eternal Life
You're Afraid
To Think About It At All!

One Man Decided To Stop Napping
Because His Naps
Induced His Anxiety!
One Person Dreaded The Thought So Much
That The Only Cure Was
Psychiatry!

Satan
At His Magnificent Best
Has Pulled Some Doozies
In His Time
BUT
This Has To Be A Stroke Of Sheer Genius
For
If Can Man Can Be Induced
To Discount The Value Of Everlasting Life
The Lord Jesus Christ
Satan, Evilness Itself
Will Seemingly
Have A Leg Up Against King Jesus!

BUT ...

Let Not Satan 
And His Kind Yet Celebrate!
Almighty God
Is The One
Who Did Man Create!
God
In His Mercy
Has Made Provision
Against Demonic Ingenuity
By Having The Holy Spirit
Reach Out To All Humanity!

Every Man
Has An Opportunity To Know
That God's Everlasting Life
Is For Those
Who Desire There To Go
BUT
It Will Not Be For Lack Of Information
Or
Descents Into Fright
Nor
Misinformation
Nor
Demons Selling Rotten Tripe!

All Men
Will Make Their Decision
On
Full Disclosure Of The Facts
AND
No Fear Of The Unknown
Is Going To Change That!

Satan Is A Liar!
The Father Of Lies!
AND
His Yen To Subversiveness
Does Not Lend To Man
The Lack Of Knowledge Excuse!

Men Say They Fear Death!
Have You Died AND Returned
To Tell Others
The Story
That Dying Burns?

God Says ...

The Dead Know Nothing!
So
Anybody Who "Comes Back"
And Tells Of The Grand Voyage
Of
Meeting Mammy And Pappi
And Dead Movie Stars
And Genghis Khan
And Hitler And His Like
Are Just Like Endor's Witch
With King Saul
Thinking
That They Had Awakened The Prophet Samuel
AND
Heard Him Talking To All!

It Ain't Never No Way Happened
And
It Ain't Going To Happen Today
And
Any Other Stories Being Told
That The Afterlife Is Cobwebs
Perpetual Virgins
Strumming Harps Ad Naseum
Bouncing On Clouds Without Purpose
AND
Eating Ambrosia
AND
Lounging Loafing About
Is Working Working
Working
For That Lied King Unclean
Old Satan Himself
Who Is Suffering From
Envy Quite Green!

No One Known As Living
No One Marked As Dying
Has Any Reason
To Fear Everlasting Life
For
The Preserved Word Of Almighty God Says:

Do Not Despise

Your Birthright!

Do Not Despise

Your Gift!

Do Not Sell Out

God's Good Gold

To Buy

Satan's

Rotting Red Bean Pottage!

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

Do A Jacob

And

Wrestle With God

And

Get That Fiend's Fallacies

Out Of Your Craw!

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

Shuck The Liar's Lies

And

Live

OR

Swallow The Liar's Lies

And

Die!

The Choice

Is

Only Ours To Make!

PRAYER: Lord, We Believe Your Word!

Oh, Lord

Great And Glorious

We Come Before You

Hearts Heavy

At The Plight Of Our Nation's People!

Lord, What Is To Become

Of This Prodigal People

Who Relish A Diet Of Pig Swill

And Reject The Lush Banquet

Arrayed On Zion's Hill;

Who Studiously Walk By Blind Sight;

Who Consider The Faith Of Jesus A Pox And A Blight;

Who Wallow In Flights Of Fantasy;

Who Enjoy Playing Pat-A-Cake

In The Whispy Web Of The Fabled Spider Anansi;

Who Thrill At The Experiencing Of The Mind-numbing Pill

And Laugh Uproariously

At All That Is Worthy A Toilet To Fill;

Who Play With The Fraud

And Believe Themselves To Be God;

And Who Consider The Confessed Children Of The Living God

To Be Kin To Demon Frogs?

Lord, Have Mercy Upon Them In Their Distress!

Oh, Lord

We Who Love And Believe In Your Beloved Son

Are Denigrated

And Denied

And Despised

And Abused

And Accused

Because:

We Don't Indulge In Thrills And Spills For Fun;

We Refuse To Play Russian Roulette With The Known Loaded Gun;

We Acknowledge That Sin Has No Degrees

No Matter Its Color

And That It Separates Us From The Holy God

We Daily Seek To Please;

We Know That An Elevating Love Of Self Is No Green Grass

And That It Puts Us In The Position

Of Requiring Your Sending Unto Us A Balaam's Talking Ass;

We Recognize That Self-Medication

Puts Us Up High On A Rotten Tree Limb;

We Refuse To Live To Experience Fleeting Thrills That Will Ultimately Kill;

We Choose To Accept And Know The Creator God Who Lives

Who Loves Us And Who Causes Us To Grow;

And Because

We Choose To Live By The Intangible Faith Of Jesus Christ The King

And Sing Praises To Him As We Look With Great Hope 

For The Sky Break Heralding His Returning!

Father,

Give Unto Us Strength For Our Journey

And Courage For The Way We Must Walk

Even In The Face Of Gross Opposition

To Humbly Keep The Holy Faith

To Be Able To Disagree

And Not Be Disagreeable

As We Share The Truths Of Heavenly Light

And Freely Available Salvation Unto Eternal Life!

Let Not The Spirit Of Fear Overcome Us!

Father,

Pity Us By Your Mercy

Comfort Us With Your Grace

And Let The Indwelling Holy Spirit

Direct Correct And Chide Us

And The Holy Angels Protect Us

Until The Day When In This Fleeting Life

We Have No More A Place!

Oh, Father,

Let Our Love For You Be Not Fair Weather

Neither Let It Be Wasted On The Accursed Other!

Bless Our Faith With Holy Sight

Unto The Day When There Shall Be

No More Night!

And, Lord

In That Day Of The Trumpet Of God

Call Us Forth From Death

Unto Eternal Life

For We Believe Your Holy Promises

And We Trust You To Honor Your Promise

To Get Us Home Safely

Through Jacob's Time Of Trouble

The Coming Prophesied Strife!

Oh, Lord

We Love You Indeed

And In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous

With These Petitions We Plead.

Oh, Lord, Hear!

Oh, Lord, Do For Us What Only The Holy God Can Do!

AMEN.

Oh, That Men Would Praise

The Eternal God Of Love

The Giver Of True Life!

The Visitation!

There was a Knock on My Door!
I Opened it!
My Visitor Asked:

 "May I Enter?"

I said:

"Sure!
Welcome!
Come on in!"

I Offered Him The Place of Honor!
He Looked Right Regal There!
He Offered Up A Prayer of Blessing
AND
Proceeded To Teach Me About Godly Fear!

He Expounded On
Faith
Hope
Trust
Mercy
Glory and Grace!

He Spoke Urgently of 
Sin
Confession
Repentance
Salvation
AND
Setting Aside
Ungodly
Sinful Lusts!

He Spoke of The Father
The Mansions of Rest
AND
He Called Me Blessed
AND
Treated Me To Words of Hope
To Hold Me Up
Until The Day
When New Life Is Mine For 
Keeping The Blessed Hope!

He Said:

"I Love You!" 

I Told Him I Loved him, Too!

He Asked If His Spirit Could Move In and
I said: 

"Yes! I Have Room For Him!"

He Told Me To Let His Spirit
Keep His Place Safe and 
Comfortable and
Warmly Lit
For
He Had Some Others To Visit
Those My brothers and Sisters
From Other Flocks Of Lambs and Sheep
Out in The World Forlorn!

I said: 

"Blessings!
I'll Stay Here
AND 
By Your Grace
I'll Your Love Be Professing
To All and The Sundry
The Poor
The Peaceful
The Proud!
I'll Sing Your Praises!
I Will Sing Out Loud!"

He said: 

"Let My Spirit In You Hold Sway
For
He Will Lead You 
Guide You and 
Interpret Your Every Prayer!

I Am Your Holy Shepherd
Gentle
Kind
Loving 
AND
Just as I Am
You Be To The Brethren
AND
One Day Soon
We Will In Glorious Reunion Meet!"

My Sleep That Night Was Beautifully Sweet!
