I heard The Chorus Singing A Pretty Little Song And when The Song was finished I felt my mouth hanging down! The Song was One Quite Ordinary No Gymnastics Particular The Singers - They Floored Me For they were Peacocks, and Canaries, and a couple Clowns! Now, I am Sure that you are Aware That Peacocks Look Pretty and Canaries Sing Pretty And when they are in Communion They are Irresistible to Lustful Human Soul's Ear!
"Sing for Sin Today is Subjective
Sing before The Lord and then Pray
Sing to Lord - He Bought Your Pardon
Sing - for Jesus Christ Your Debt Already Paid!"
I am not going to Belabor You with Why's and Wherefore's I am not going to Tickle You nor Torment I am just going to Lay It Straight for You And Invite You to Offer Your Comment! The Chorus in The Church was Singing Pretty Preacher was Pastoring The Flock The Prophet had been Asked if The Lord has Sent A Message And The People had had Themselves A Good Shout! But... It was at The Particular Singing That The Mocking Birds Outdid The Chorus That Day And that is when I Gained Clear Focus On what it is All The Choir Birds Did Really Say:
You are Important, Famous, Wealthy, Appealing, Knowledgeable, Knowing, and Mighty Enough To Save Me!
I have Money of my own - I can buy my own Food!
Yes, I have money all my own - I can Purchase my own Clothes!
All that I Desire of You, is Your Name! No more, no less. Just let me Bear Your Name so that The Goode People can't Call me The Whole Whore any more! Please Take The Shame Out of my Face!"
So said Sephorada to Shiloh.
What had brought on this Outrageously Emotional - and Publicly Demeaning - Display?
Why is Sephorada begging Shiloh to Marry her when Everybody Knows that they are in a Committed Relationship?
Hmmm ...
Previously ...
Sephorada and Shiloh were in Love with each other.
They were Made for each other, and Everybody spoke of how well The Relationship was going and how good they Looked together, and how sure they were that their future Marriage would be Prosperous, and Fruitful in the Multiplying!
Everybody Believed that in The Fullness of Time, Sephorada and Shiloh would Declare their intentions, and that The Decree of Commitment would go forth to all The People publicly declaring that they were Joined for Eternity.
Strange, how you think you know people and The Truth Is A Disappointment.
Shiloh is The Absolute Kindest, Friendliest, Most Honest, Nicest, Blessingest Person you will ever meet this side of Eternity. He Walks and Talks like he Knows The Living God ... up Close and Personally! Shiloh is Polite, soft-spoken, helpful, caring, motivated - The Perennial Provider, and He Loves Sephorada - as he, Himself, says - Eternally! Sephorada, on the other hand, is Everything you would expect from a Volatile, Wild Child, and Loving Lady with Champagne Tastes and Surviving - Allegedly - on a Mauby Budget, after having been Born and Raised, and is Living on The Other Side of the Goode Tract! If Truth is told, Everybody with a Working Conscience will Honestly tell you that Sephorada is a Light Skirt! At least she was until Shiloh picked her Literally off the Street and publicly Claimed her for His Very Own! He Placed His Love on Public Display! All he asked of Sephorada was Fidelity, and Life was Great ... for a while. Well, as Ladine Fate would tell it, Sephorada was Batting Left and Bowling Right! Sometimes, it is said that she is an All-rounder! And Shiloh - who seemed to be everywhere at given anytime - Knew about it, and did not seem to let her "Past" stop him from Loving her Endlessly! Shiloh kept on Showing Sephorada what True Love Looks Like! As He, himself, said: "True Love Is Not Blind!" Sephorada was also hanging out in Idol Groves, a place Noted for its Promulgation of Choice Gods, and Gay Abandon! Shiloh had asked Sephorada to put her Past in The Past, and to Turn Away from That Life, and to Commit To Him and His Ways for he could Make Her Whole - she had said "Yes!"
Shiloh has High Ideals and Maintains High Standards of Excellence, and I guess that you know that Shiloh is not going to Play Pretty Push-over just to have Sephorada! I also guess that you Know that There Is Trouble in The Land, and The Goode People were talking about Sephorada and calling her "That Harlot!" and "Ungodly," and saying that she really needed The Shepherd, and that if she did not Turn Away from her Love of The Mall at Fleeting Things she was going to get herself Officially Branded as one of The Apostate and Lost Souls!
For Your Information ... Sephorada was a Seriously Bad Influence for many of The Unmarrieds and, Suprisingly, quite a few of The Members of The Faithful Few were Dancing and Cavorting and Worshiping with their Supposed Opposites at Loose Lips and Heart Slips! It soon became Apparent that Sephorada was on The Payroll of That Notorious Break-Down Merchant, Natas Nam, himself! After that Episode of Begging, Pleading, and Beseeching, and Shiloh's Summary Rejection of her Insulting Offer to Bear His Name to Hide Her Shame, Sephorada's Life got Ugly, Really, Really Ugly, Really, Really Fast! Anyway, I will not Bore you with The Terrible Details of what Finally Caused Sephorada to "Come To!" I will ask you to Remember these Statements, though:
You Carry Your Own Pigs To Fine Market
Hide and Buy Land Can't Hide and Reap Land
What Goes Around Comes Around
Planters of Indian Corn Don't Reap Guinea Corn
Who Help You Buy a Big Belly Horse Won't Help You To Feed It
Today For Me - Tomorrow For You
Know What You Grow, and
Out of Darkness Into Light
What I will also Tell you is that Throughout Sephorada's Constant Backsliding and Re-connection and Re-commitment, Shiloh Stood Up and Pleaded ... and Pleaded ... and Pleaded ... His Eternal Love for His Beloved. He Watched Over her, all the while Permitting her Space to make her Own Decision to walk wholly with him, and in Faith! Shiloh never once Tried to Force Sephorada to Come Over to His Way of Thinking. Shiloh Never Gave Up on Sephorada, and he Remained Ever Faithful. As for Sephorada, until she Acknowledged that Life Without Shiloh was Life in The Pits, she Bought, and Paid For, and Ate The Very Bread That The Devil Kneaded, and she Wears those Scars to This Day! Nevertheless, when she Finally Confessed, and Truly Repented to Shiloh for her Profligate Lifestyle, and Turned Away from The Past, he Willingly Embraced her, and he Gave her an Eternal Supply of Beauty For Ashes Parfum. It was a Beautiful Reunion! However, those who Saw The Evidence of The Real Change in Sephorada, and Chose to Ignore it, and Continued Down The Broad Way, The Judgment Seat of The Ancient of Days Awaits.
He spoke The Word of The Gospel They put him into Bonds He Stood up for The Gospel They, in Anger, Spilt his Blood! Man May Kill Man Man Cannot Kill God's Word For, like Water It Always Finds Its Level! The Story Goes Like This: Gospel Worker = Pitcher of Life-Giving Water: Gospel Worker walks and waters Flowers in Far-flung Fields Gospel Worker comes to The Town of Dry Gulch Population: Parched Sheriff: Dread Policy: Maintain The Status Quo Church: What For?!

Towns-persons are Terrorized! Help is Sought! Gospel-worker goes Door to Door People are Interested But Frightened for Sure! On The Day Appointed A Gathering was Held On The Open Way of Assembly:
Come One! Come All!
Come and Be Fed!

All The Parched Gathered and Gospel Worker Started to Speak! AND ... Here and There A Moist Dot Appeared! Sheriff Dread, Always Vigilant Noticed, and, and, well, Screeched!! Always Able to Read The Weather, and A Subscriber to Signs of These Times, and Never one to Like Prayer Nor that Corrupting Good Influence Sheriff Dread Broke Through the Gathering And on Gospel Worker Pounded Away!

MORAL OF THE STORY: The Dreads of This World Seek to Limit The Spread of The Gospel by Death and Destruction! The More they Kill and Destroy, The More The Gospel of The Love of Jesus Christ is Spread! Many will be Martyred for The Word of The Gospel - and those Deaths will Bear Much Fruit for The Kingdom of God - but only as long as Man's Probation is Open! If there is no one to be Saved, there will no longer be a Kingdom Benefit to be Derived from Christians dying so they won't be able to kill us any longer! Death has no Power over a True Christ Believer! We Will Rise Again! We have No Need to be Afraid of Those Who Will Kill The Body for they CANNOT Kill Our Souls in Hell! Man Against Almighty God Is A "No Contest!" so
Some People would have us Believing That there are maybe probably likely gods around and about, but ... Satan Rules! Some Others would have us Believing That Satan is god and all Christians are Ignorant! Those People? They are Fools! But... A Day is Here Coming When The True and Living Almighty Eternal, Omniscient Omnipotent, Omnipresent God Will let be Revealed That His Will is All - Sovereign - and His Word Seals All Deals That He is Holding All The Keys To All of Life's Doors and Shores To All Lives - Seen and Unseen Secured! #Don'tForgetJesusChrist, Himself, IS The Way - He Can't be Ignored! Deny His Sovereignty And You are Going to Pay! Don't Be Deceived! God is Not Mocked! #GodIsEternal! He is Not Blocked! He is Loving! He Cares for His Sheep Flock! All Others Reside in Death's Goat Docks. Liar! You Reap what you Sow! Child, Study The Word and The Living God will You Grow! Trust Truth, and You will Know God is Real, and You won't Follow the Devil's Flow Show!
