VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Customized Gods!

The Line In The Comment Said:

"Baal  ... the customizable "god!"

And I Said:

I Gotta Write!

For

This Line Was Just Too Delicious
To Pass Up!

Baal Is The god-Customizable
For All The "Worshippers"
Bend-Pliable
Because
The Eternal God
Unbendingly-unchangeable
Requires Truth
In The Inward Parts
Of All Who
Will Feast At His Welcome Table!

Truth
Purity
Love Of Another
AND
Holy God Charity
Are Not Things Necessary 

To Baal
For Customization
Places Adherents Squarely
In Baal's ThrallAND
If One Is Not Careful
One Will End Up In A Stall
Tied Up In Tight Knots
Unable To Change Position
Even Though
One Has Got The Trots!

The Customizable God
Is A God To One
Free For One

Free-For-All
Which
When The Creator Of All
On The Day Of Vengeance
Stands Above The Ball
Will Show To All And Sundry
Who In Fairy Tales Did Trust

AND

Believe
That
He Wasn't Anything At All!

He Will Show To All

That He Was As Effective As
A Bottle Of Blowing Breeze!

But ...

It Must Be Stated

That This Is As It Should Be
For
A Customizable God
IS Nothing But
Dog Turds
AND
Horse Pasture Patties
Fit To Be But Poor Decoration
As Useful As Cake Flour In The Wind
As Priceless As Salt With No Savor
AND
As Tasty As Egg White
AND
As Beautiful As Crop Blight!

Our God
- The Creator Of All -
Is The God Who Sustains Life Now
AND
Promises ... With Proof
That He Will Give To His Faithful
Eternal Life Later!

For This Reason ...

I Beseeching You, Brethren
Not To Buy A Bill Of Goods
For The Living God Already Proved
That Baal Cannot
The Power Of The Eternal God Withstand
For God
In Baal's Own Grand
Temple
Did Cast Him To The Ground
AND
His Adherents
Putting Him Back On His Stand
Found Him Next Day
Head Severed
Hands Cast Away ...
To Plainly Say That
Baal Is Useless!
He Can't See Hear Nor Speak!
He Can't Hold On To His Own Head!
He Can't Battle For

NOR

Against Anyone Anything
For
He Has Not Got
Working Feet!

A Customizable God
IS
A Not-God Which
It Is Fearful To Declare
Captures Men's Minds By The Satanic Power

Of The Prince Of The Power Of The Air!

This Tells Me Something
AND
Likewise Should Tell You
That The Customizable God
Is A God Of Refuse
For The "Power" He "Holds"
Is From The Lord Of Dung Flies
Who Builds Castles Out Of Crappies
AND
Beautifully Paints Them
With Bold Lies
For He Knows His Time Is Short
AND
His Time Of Terror Is Almost O'er
For The God Of Heaven And Earth
Is Returning
AND
Is Even At The Door!

Don't Collect

The Pay-Check For The Army
That Gives Tissues Of Lies
To Its Blinded Recruits!

Join The Army Of The Majesty Of Heaven
The God Who Does Not Bake Bread

With Pharisee Leaven
The God Who Despises Babylonian Wine
The God Holy, Faithful And True
The God Of Grace And Mercy, Too
The God Who Breathes
Who Sees
Who Cries
The God Of All Creation
Who Paints The Rainbow Of Promise
In The Canopy We Call Sky
The God Who Soon Will Come
To Forever Destroy The Buy-Baal Sellers
AND
Buyers
AND
Take To His Eternal Kingdom
Those
Who Bought The Truth
AND
Sold It Not

Nor His Holy Ways Forgot!

Get Yourself The Real God!
Get The God Who Laid Down His Own Life
For Me

AND

For You
AND
Picked It Up Again
So That You And I
Against It
Can Make Upholdable Claim!

Get Jesus!
Get Almighty God!
Get Jesus Christ
AND
Forever
Get Rid Of That Fraud Satan
AND
His Front-Man Baal
That Totally Customizable
AND
Totally Useful-For-Nothing
Dust-Catcher

Soul-Benighting

Have-No-Hope-To Be-God

Fraud!

There Is A Cross Through The "I" in PAIN!

All I Saw Was The Line
Which Said
"Pain Changes People!"
And Immediately
I Had To Write For I Could Relate!
Pain Has Been My Constant Companion
And,  At Times
It Appears That Pain And I Are On
An Acrimonious Date!

But ... I Digress!

Pain Changes People!
It Causes A Person To Do
One Of  Two Things:
Bow The Head In Supplication
Or
Raise The Fist In God Condemnation
Holler And Curse At God
And
Hide Between The Sheets!

Oops! That Was Actually Four Things!

One Person Holds The "Pity Me" Party!
Another Person Chooses Abandonment Of The  Word Of Truth!
Or,  Like Me
One Chooses
Resignation With Praise
Saying With Faith-Full Confidence:
"God Does Not Own A Lounger Call Chaise!"

There Is Ignore The Facts Of The Matter!
There Is Face The Facts And Relax!
There Is Swallow Every Pill In Town and Run Around
Or, Like Me
Swallow The Scheduled Pill 
AND
Turn To God For Succor!

There Is Put Pills With Alcohol
Spin The Bottle
AND
Hope To Sod Off

OR ...

Like Me
- With Time -
Realize That In That Pain 
There Is A Testimony
AND
In This A Period Of Time Out
AND 
Take The Time To Take Stock
AND 
Regroup
AND
Not Let Pain Be The Rabid Lion On The Loose
With God Sitting Like Scaredy Cat
Up On Your Crumbling Roof!

I Choose To Bow My Head!
I Choose To Talk To My God!
I Choose To Deny The Liar
That Ecumenical Fraud!
I Chose To Take The Medication Prescribed!
I Prayed!
I Even Cried
But ...
I Never Ever
The Living Holy God Denied!

In My Life With Pain
Is An Open Secret Called Truth
Of The Fact That
The Pain Was My Blessing For
The Alternative Was The Death Curse!

By God's Great Grace
AND
Having Had The Decision Made For Me
I Am Thankful For The Life I Lead
For Otherwise
I Would Be Stone Cold Dead
AND
Rotten
AND
Forgotten
Indeed!

Pain Says
Something Is Wrong!
Pain Says:
That Soul Can Barely Get Along!
Pain Says:
Go To Your Father
He Can Fix You
Make You Strong

Unless ...

Your Life Is To Be A Witness
That Grace Is Ever Sufficient
AND
Show That 
God Is The Author
Of The Believing Child's
"I Trust God!" Love Song!

Pain Can Change
From A Problem
Into A Calamity
From Physical
To Emotional
To Spiritual
IF 
There Is No Time Called Devotional!

Pain Changes People
For Good Or For Ill!
Pain Changes People!
Like It Or Not
When In Pain
You Cannot Be Still!
Pain Changes People
Whether Or Not
They've Had Their Fill
AND
The Creator
Healer
Sealer
Is There For Our Help
If We Choose
Through Our Pain
To Be Constant In Faith
AND
Ever Trust Him Still!

Pain Is A Posy
A Passion
A Prayer!
Pain Is Friend
AND
Enemy
AND
It Holds Our Stare!
Pain Is
Can Be 
Addicting
Benumbing -  It Is True
AND
Downright Evil To Boot
AND
It Is Up To Us To Decide
If Pain Is Going To Rob Us Also
Of Our Daily
Heavenly
Necessary Food!

I Choose To Trust The Lord
By Living Faith
Not Dying Eyesight!
I Choose To Bless The Lord
AND
By Grace
Daily Fight!
I Choose To Believe
That Pain
Is The Price We Pay For Living
But ...
I Refuse To Give Pain
A Blind Red Cent
For His Joy-killing Act Of Shilling For The Devil!

Pain Is A Thief!
The Father Desires Our Relief!
Jesus Christ Is The God Police Chief!
The Holy Spirit Is The Elite Comfort Force
AND
The Angels Minister Strength In The Bitter Discourse!

Pain Carried Me

• Chased Me
• Compelled Me To Get To
• To Get Closer To
• To Stick With
• To Hang On For Dear Life

To My Jesus!

I Have Jesus For Joy
AND
Pain Has No Authority
To Play Me Like A Puppy's Chew Toy!

My Pain IS My Blessing!
It Drove Me To Home
AND
That Is Where I Intend To Stay
In The Arms Of My Jesus
Until The Closing Of My Day
Where The Song Sung
- After The Life Story -
Will Be

"This Soul Experienced A Life Of Pain

AND

Still Gave Its God His Eternal Glory!"

*********

Which Book

Is Ordering YOUR Reaction 

To THAT Pain?!

The Life In Christ Book

OR

The Science Falsely So Called Book!?

The Song Writer Said:

"I've Got Confidence

God Is Going To See Me Through

No Matter What The Case May Be

I KNOW
That God Is Going To Fix It For Me!"

*********

Embrace Jesus' Peace 

Even Though Enduring Earthly Pain Now

And

Enjoy Immortal Life 

In God's Eternal Paradise Later!

*********

Joy In The Lord Now!

Enjoy Everlasting Joy In The Lord Later!

*********

Let Us Consider Our Pain As Our Crucible

For The Refinement Of Our Character

To Be Made Fit To Become A Jewel

In The Coming King's Glorious Crown!

*********

As Hard As It Is To Say

This Life Is Not About Me!

It Is About Uplifting Him 

Who Loves Me!!

I Get To Glory In Glory

AND

God Gets The Prayers

AND

The Praise!

The Great Pretender!

Today I had Two Customers
Walking in my Heart Stomach Shop
They were paying customers
And had lots to talk shout about!

The One was Happy En Jolly
The Other Rabid Tu Hate
It was hard for me to understand
How could these two be out on a date?

Happy En Jolly ate quite sparingly!
She was grateful easy going!
She graciously accepted her offerings -
Her heart seemed easily satisfied!

Not so Rabid Tu Hate, The Great Pretender
Who ate and ate and ate
And ate and ate voraciously
But got no bigger
No matter what how much how late he ate!

He ate his last landlord
Out of his house and his family's land
Out of real love and deep affection
Out of "God Sends A Helping Hand!"

And ... NOW

This Scavenging Glutton
Had taken up residence in My Heart Stomach Shop
And was demanding of dainty morsels
For Things which recipes I had not!

I didn't have a recipe for Contention!
I didn't have a recipe for Station Stature Elevate!
I didn't have a recipe for Grudge My Brother!
I didn't have a recipe for What An Idiot! She's a Flake!

I had no recipe for Dodge Dog Biscuits!
I had no recipe for Brazen Body Bakes!
I had no recipe for Craven Cookies!
And definitely no recipe for Lousy Loser Meringue Cake!

I was now becoming quite angry!
I didn't want to manufacture Unkind Swill!
I didn't want to make Marbled Madness!
And I didn't want to anything to do with Deadly Dongle Dangles and 
Mismatched Mates Gooeyness Mess!

I politely asked to be excused
I went into My Quiet Rest Place
And, to God, I beseechingly humbly prayed
In the Blessed Name of My Jesus
With The Holy Spirit holding sway
I rejoined That Full In-Swing Battle -
I laid my Jesus on The Skirmish Line:

I Poured Forth 

The Heart of The Believer

And Mixed In 

Strong Angel from The Divine!

I Then Added 

Jesus for Joy - This Battle was Hopping -

Rabid Tu Hate started Acting Like He Had A Hot Behind!

THEN ...

I added 

With God There Is No Fear

And

God's Grace Is Sufficient For Me!

And 

When I Added 

Peace Passing All Understanding

Rabid Tu Hate had Left Black Smoke in his Broken Chair!

Happy Jolly and I had a good hug laugh cry!
We were Delirious with Know Ye Real Joy!
Jesus Christ - The Sage of The Ages
Had Represented! And ...
I know Love
I know Peace
I really, really know Jesus ... for Joy!

Dear Ones:

Give no place to Rabid Hate UNLESS ... It is Rabid Hatred of Sin and Satan! Then ... you can let it ALL hang out!!

Hate hates Joy!

Hate hates Hope!

Hate hates Happy!

Hate hates Peace!

Hate Hates Love!

Hate helps Hell!

Inhale: "Love For Jesus!"

Exhale: "Cruel Hate!"

Give Satan a Black Eye -

He's got an Eternal Death Date!
