Unwavering Faith In He Who Ever Lives!

KJV Job 13:15-16

15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

It Takes Unwavering Faith, Explicit Belief, To Be Able To Say That 

You Are Going To Maintain Your Ways Aka Your Integrity 

And 

Keep Your Trust Firmly Placed In Someone 

Who Has The Power To Kill You! 

It Takes That Same Unfailing Faith And  Unshakable Belief 

To Say That That Someone 

Is 

Your Salvation 

Because 

They Know That You Are Not A Deceitful Wretch Aka A Hypocrite! 

Beloved, 

Oh, That We All Would Be As That Righteous Job Was! 

To Go Through The Fire Of Affliction

Physically, Financially, Emotionally, And Spiritually 

And Still 

Trust Jesus Christ The Lord 

Because 

You Have Embraced The Promise:

 "I Know That My Redeemer Lives!" 

"These Dry Bones Shall Live Again!" 

"Where I Am There Shall Also My Servant Be!" 

"No Good Thing Will He Withhold From Them That Walk Uprightly!" 

Is 

To Know The Peace Which Passes Human Aka Finite Understanding! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is Not Slack Concerning His Promises

His Stated Blood-Bought Intentions, Towards Us! 

"Yes, Lord!" 

And 

"Thank You, Jesus!" 

"Amen!" 

Should Be On Rewind, Replay, Constant Rotation 

On Our Heart For Christ! 

Yes, The Lord Can Kill You! 

Think! 

The Lord Also Daily Keeps Us Alive 

And

He Also Also Raises The Dead! 

Our Redeemer Lives: 

Live For Jesus! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Pride Is Poison + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves!

It Is Significant To See Righteousness And Unrighteousness

Faithfulness And Faithlessness 

And 

Pride And Humility 

So Starkly Compared And Contrasted! 

Beloved, 

We Are To Live By Faith 

While Lovingly Humbling Ourselves Before The Lord Christ 

Who Will Lift Us Up In His Day Of Appointment 

Just As He Lifted Up Jacob, Joseph, Job, And Moses! 

We Are Not To Lift Up Ourselves 

In Pride And With Arrogance Like Lucifer: 

It Didn't Work Out For Him 

And

It Will Not Work Out For Us! 

We Love To Say With The Worldly-Wise That 

Man Appoints And God Disappoints 

But 

If We Look Closer

We Will Clearly See What Manner Of Defeat, Disaster

Destruction, And Deviltry Exists 

When Man Appoints Man

And 

Man Anoints Self! 

The Humble, Faithful, Servant Of God

Is

Always A Blessing To Mankind!

Pride Is Poison 

And 

Self-Aggrandizement Is Terminal Disease 

And

Neither Has A Place In The Heart Of 

The Committed-To- Christ Christian! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Lifting Up We Should Be Doing 

Is 

Lifting Up Our Souls To The Lord

Lifting Up Our Hands In Worship And Praise

Lifting Up Our Brethren

And 

Lifting Up Our Bibles And Our Spoons 

As They Convey To Our Bodies 

Our Very Necessary Daily Food! 

Pride Decimates! 

Faith Elevates 

And 

Humility Opens The Flood-Gates Of Blessing! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

Please Help Us Today

To Humble Ourselves Before You On Earth

Your Footstool

So That You Will Lift Us Up To Heaven

Your Throne

On The Glad Day That You Have Set! 

Amen!!! 

"Hate Evil!"

We Have A Direct Command Of Almighty God: 

"Hate Evil!" 

Beloved, 

We Will Hate Evil 

Because 

We Love The Lord! 

We Serve The Creator Who Is The Holy God Known Alive

The Savior Dear

The Good Shepherd

The Forever Friend

The Returning Redeemer

The Kind King

The Incorruptible Judge

Our Blessed Hope! 

Our Lord Jesus Provides For Us Before We Express Our Need! 

He Has A Thousand Ways To Save Us 

Even Though We Need Only One 

And

When We Are Instructed ... Commanded

To Do Something For Our Good

We Always, Always, Always Have A Blessing Of 

Infinite Magnitude Attached! 

We Have The Preserving And Delivering Hand Of 

Our Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omni-Present God Attending Us

Protecting Us

And 

Providing For All Of Our Needs 

And

Our Enduring Faithful Obedience 

Ensures That 

We Will Not Be Overcome By Evil! 

Please Take Note ... 

Satan Aka His Evilness Was Distinctly Told How Far He Could Go 

To Wreak Havok In Job's Life 

So Let Us Correct The Error Which Says That 

Evil-Doers May Do Whatever They Want! 

Evil-Doers  Cannot Do More Than What The Lord Says 

Is 

Permissible! 

Never Forget That 

The Promise Is Given For Our Deliverance

So Shout "Hosanna!" 

Shout "Save Now!" To Our Lord Christ 

Even As You Hate Evil Like You Would Hate Rat Poison! 

Rejoice! 

The Lord Is King! 

Our Deliverance Is On The Wing! 

Stand Strong! 

Peace!

Faith Doesn't Depend On Feeling

Trials Come! 

Is Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord Fixed Or Fluid!?! 

Is Your Hope In The Lord Like Solid Rock Or Like Quick Sand!?! 

Is Your Love For The Lord Just For The Loaves And Fishes 

Aka The Gifts And Good Times 

Or Is It For The Saving Truth

The Love That Loved You First

The Love That Will Not Let You Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 

Without First Giving You A Way To Escape Your Self

Your Sin

Your Shame

Your Sorrow 

And

The Satan Aka The Adversary Always On The Attack!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Able To Say ... Like Job

"Though The Lord Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him!?!" 

And 

With Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego 

While Facing Death In Babylon's Fiery Furnace 

"Whether Our God Saves Us Or Not

We Will Trust Him And Not Worship Falsely!?!" 

Many Of Us Who Are Christians 

Erroneously Believe That Saying 

"Jesus, Jesus!" 

Is 

The Key To The Existence Called

"Fair To Fine No Showers Expected!"  

This Does Not Biblically Compute! 

A Comfortable Existence Never Equals Soul Salvation! 

Ask The Citizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah 

If You Can Find Them! 

Let Us Wise Up 

And

Get Up 

And 

Stand Firm In The Faith That Cannot Fail 

And

Confidently 

And 

Enduringly Say Boldly: 

"The Devil Is The Liar: 

By Almighty God's Great Grace

I Will Walk Faithfully With Jesus Christ My Lord!" 

Say It! 

Believe It! 

Live It! 

Your Eternal Peace Depends On It!

Is Your Faith Exercising Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

Is Your Exercised Faith In Jesus Christ Fixed 

Or Is Your Faith Dependent Upon 

Your Every Prayer Being Answered 

Just As You Have Asked 

And

In The Time-Frame That You, A Mere Mortal, Has Specified 

To The Creator God 

Who Is All-Knowing, Almighty, And Eternal!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Sight!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Feelings!?! 

Does Your "Faith" Have You Reeling!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Are Committed To The Lord Christ 

And 

The Way Of The Cross That Leads To The Heavenly Home

Cannot Afford The "Luxury" Of A Fair-Weather Faith 

With A Side Of Flitting Butterflies 

And 

A Generous Helping Of Thorn-Less, Perfectly Scented, Roses! 

The Children Of The Household Of Faith 

Must Stand Or Fall By The Word Of The Lord 

Which Clearly States Plainly That 

All Things Work

-  Answered Prayer Or Not - 

For The Good Of Us Who Are The Called 

According To The Purposes Of God!

We Must Be Able To Say

- Like Job And The Three Hebrew Worthies - 

"Live Or Die

I'm Trusting My Lord With My Life

And

All That Concerns Me!" 

We Who Are Headed To Hill Zion 

Must Be Able To Bear Disappointment 

Aka The Denial Of Even Godly Desires! 

We Must Be Able To Hold Strain 

Even When We Just Want To Curl Up And Die! 

We Must Trust The Living Word 

And Not The Lies Of The Devil! 

Jesus Christ Always Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please ... By Grace Through Faith

Daily Choose To Moment-By-Moment Trust 

The Lord's Heavenly Love For You 

Even When You Can't Trace His Holy Hand 

Holding 

And 

Helping You! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Body Blows ... And Saving Grace!

In His Conversation With Almighty God

As Regards Job
- A Perfect And Upright Man
Who Feared God And Eschewed Evil
According To The Holy God's Words Of Approbation -

Satan Boldly Declared His Tactics Utilized

To Destroy A Person's Faith In His Creator

Provider, Savior, Redeemer

And

One True Friend!

Satan's Artillery ...

Destroy Faith By Destroying Possessions

Family

Relationships

The Faith Of Those Bound To Us

By The Silken Cords Of Affection

And Then

One's Health Without Which 
- According To The Unbeliever -

We Are Of No Practical Use 
To The Eternal God Of Present Grace

And

Glory To Come! 

The Living Record Proves That Working Faith Wins!

Hear The Right ...

In This One Verse Is Found All The Actions That 

We Need To Perform Towards Jesus Christ The Lord, Our God

If 

We Are To Thwart Satan
In Our Desire To Reach The Glorious Kingdom: 
Walk, Fear, Keep, Obey, Serve, Cleave Aka Cling! 

We Are To Worship Our Almighty God With Our Everything

By Thought, Word And Deed 

Whether It Is Convenient, Practical, Profitable

And 

Popular ... Or Not! 

As The Business Analogy For Commitment Goes

To Get Bacon And Eggs 

The Pig Committed 

But The Chicken Participated! 
One Had Skin In The Game!

Satan

That Unclean, Malevolent, Damned Spirit

Is 

Committed To Your Destruction! 
He Is Not Going To Spare You:
He Has Nothing To Lose!
He Has Nothing Profitable To Gain!
Destroying You Is A Freebie
Because
You Are Loved By The Lord Christ!

Jesus Christ, The Giver Of Life

Has Skin, Sweat, Blood, And Tears
In The Not-A-Game Game Of Life! 

He Already Gave His Precious Life's Blood For You: 
Commit To Him! 
Your Body Blows Received And Well Borne ... In Faith
Are Your Badges Of Honor!

Put The Rod Of 
Faith-Filled Prayer In Your Spine ...

Stand Up For Jesus In All Things 

And 

Be Blessed With Eternal Life! 

Keep Yourself From Idols

The Ignorance Of Doubt And Disbelief

The Idolatry Of Presumptuous Sin

And

Cease Your Wandering

And

Your Wondering! 

Wander No More:
Wanderers Follow The Prevailing Winds ... Of Change!
There Is No Variableness
Or Shadow Of Turning In Almighty God!

And

Wonder No More: Jesus Christ, Alone
Saves And Seals
And
Heals Our Griefs And Hurts, And Sorrows
And
Reveals All That Will See Us Arriving Safely
In The Never-Ending Day!

Jesus Christ Is Salvation!

Jesus Christ Sacrificially Loves His Children:

You Are A Child Of Christ The King! 

You Are Blessed Beyond Measure:

Acknowledge It Boldly

And

Walk Holy! 

Your Father ... Our Father ... Is Coming! 

Get Ready And Stay Ready! 

A Glorified, Immortalized, Incorruptible Body

- Just Like Our Lord Christ's -

Awaits The Enduring Overcomers:

You Get A New Gift-Supply Every Day
So Keep The Holy Faith By Using Your Daily Faith! 

Peace!

 

Have You Considered ...?!

Have We Considered
Carefully

- Honestly -
That Jesus Christ Is
Creator
Savior

Lord
King
Friend
Hope
Help
Way
Truth
Light

Wonderful Counsellor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince Of Peace
Surety
And
Security?!

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Holds The World
In His Hand

Also Holds Your Hand In His Hand ... Gently?! 

Have You Considered

Carefully

That He Who Hears All The Prayers

Of Every Single Faithful Soul

Knows Your Name Personally

And 
Listens Personally To Your Prayers Avidly?! 

Have You Considered

Carefully

That As A True Believer

- Trusting Obedient enduring And Faithful -

Regenerated By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God

That The Eternal God Has To Take Care Of You

And 
Cannot Let You Fail?! 

Have You Considered

Carefully

That If Letting You Die Suddenly

Or Permitting You To Languish In Illness

Will Save Your Soul

That That Is What Will Happen To You?! 

You Can't Prove That!

Where Are Your Two Or Three Witnesses?!

Can, Too!

Almighty God's Servant, Job: 

Apostle Paul:

King David:

John The Revelator:

Oh! Never Mind!

Whatever Happens To Us In This Flesh
Jesus Christ Is Our Certain Hope
Our Sure Help
Our Only True Way Of Escape
And
Our Perfect Solace
So We May Rest Easy And In Peace In His Love!

So, What You Are Saying Is
Look Up And Not In!

In A Nutshell, Yes!

Jesus Christ's Death Is Our Reconciliation
And

Jesus Christ's Life Is Our Salvation

So, Bless The Ever-Living God

Ye Peoples Of The Nations

And

Praise The God Of Creation! 

Dwell Not Upon What You Carnal Eyes See

Your Carnal Ears Hearing

And

Your Carnal Body Is Feeling And Experiencing

In The Here And The Now

But, Instead

Dwell Upon What The Living God Has Done

And

Is Doing For Your Purchased Soul

And

Is Making Ready

For

Your Eternal Blessing

In The Land Where We Shall Never Grow Old!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 + Blessing + My Servant, (Fill In The Blank)!?!

Let Living Faith Be Your Lip Balm Each Day

And

May God Bless You

In Your Thoughts

Your Words

And

In Your Deeds

As You Turn To Him

Instant, Constant, In Prayer!

Cast Your Burdens Upon Him

And

Bless Him

For His Myriad Blessings Upon You

Every Day!

VICTORY IN JESUS!

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

Have We Considered
- Honestly Considered -
What It Really Means
When The Lord Said To Satan:

Hast Thou Considered My Servant, Job?!

Job ...

Righteous
Caring
Hopeful
Helpful
Believing
Worshipful
Trusting
Obedient
Thoughtful
Thankful

Called
By The Lord Of Life, Himself:

My Servant.

The Lord Is Gracious!

Satan Is Malevolent!

Job ... Unsuspecting
Children ... Dead
Property ... Lost
Wife ... Foolish
Friends ... Miserable Comforters
Situation ... Hopeless
House Servants ... Careless

Faith ... Strong
Hope ... Fixed On The Lord

Into Every Life

A Little Rain Falls!

The Living God 

Does Not Leave His Children

To Battle Alone!
He Has Given The Command:

On My Name, Call!

If We Start From The End
AND
Return To The Beginning
We Will Understand That
Life Is Not Just For Living
BUT
For The  Securing Of

The Approval Of The Almighty God
So That Despite

• Storm Of Wind
• Fire Of "God" 
• Machinations Of The Fraud
• Know It All Friends
• Faithless Life Companions
• Missing Children
• Ruined Business
• Empty Pockets
• Destroyed Health
• Putrid Sores

AND

• Closed Doors

WHEN

You Are The Servant Of God
Your Outcome Is Mercifully Known
AND
Gracefully Assured
No Matter What
Your. Eyes. See.
Your. Body. Feels.
The. Public. Says.
The. Damned. Devil. Declares!

God IS!
God Is Able!
God Is Available!
God's Will For You
IS
Unassailable!

Brethren, Beloved ...

Believe And Live
Even If You Are Bodily Dying
For
By Dying Anchored In The Lord Christ
You Shall Live Again
To Feast On Heaven's Delights
At The Lord's Welcome Home Table
Never Again
To Battle The Known Lying Murdering Fraud!

Please ...

Unashamedly Love The Lord

Our Eternal God!
Your Name
My Name
 Is Engraved  In His Hand

AND
Because Of This
AND
In His Name
We Can
You Shall
We Will
You Do
Stand!

How Do YOU Stand?!

Will The Lord Call YOU

My Servant?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Traditions - - -> Doctrines ... Commandments!?

When The Decrees Of Church Men
AND
Statesmen
Are In Direct Opposition
To The

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

People Of Faith And Piety
Have No Call To
With Willful Sinners
Walk In Accord!

The Word Of God Is Infallible!
The Words Of Man Are Not!
AND
Switching One For The Other
Is
Going To Get You Hot! Hot!
BUT
You Will Not Be Able
Away From God
To Trot!

Man Sees With Eyes Set In Reducing Time!
God Created For Man ... Time!
God Is Not Restricted By Man's Time
Nor His Ideals
For
He Is Lord God
Almighty
Holy
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Everlasting
Consuming Fire
Wisdom
Divine
Will Supreme!

Man Lives In Time's Space
AND
God - In Mercy
Gives To Him Grace!
Man
- By Following Satan
Arch-Enemy Deceiver -
Wants To Play God
BUT
Because His Eyes Are Myopic
He Sees Not
That
He Is Playing With King Fraud!

God Says All
Before All
Who Dwell Upon The Ball
AND
God Bears The Ball
Upon Which Men Of The Fall
Fell
AND
It Is Only Through God's Son
That The Stain Of The Fall
Can Be Dispelled!

Man Fell
Because Lying Satan
The Truth Did Not Tell
BUT
The Fallen Will Rise
IF
To The Christ-From-Death-Risen
With Their Whole Hearts
They Do Listen!

"Thus Saith The Lord!"
Is Not A Suggestion
Up For "Maybe" Consideration!
"Thus Saith The Lord!"
Is A Command
A Call To Holy Arms
Safety
From The Wicked Devil's 
Ample 
God-Denying Charms!

Debating God
Is Like Debating With The Tornadic Wind!
You Don't Know From Whence It Came!
You Don't Know How Why
It This That Way Spins!
You Don't Where It Will Touch Down!
You Don't Know If It Will Hit
Mr. Foot On His Bony-Backside
Or
On His Narrow Lantern Chin
Or
If He Will Rattle Mr. Head's Teeth
Or 
Part And Groom His Straying Gray Hair
With Some Fly-By Goat-Grease!
It Will Do As It Does Itself Please!

Take A Page
From The Book Of Righteous Job
Who
When Challenged
By The Almighty God
To State
What When Where Why
AND
How
If But Then And And And
Acknowledged With Alacrity
His Fallen-Nature 
Not-God Deficiency
AND
Stated Clearly To His Maker
That He
- Shamefaced -
Will Close His Mouth
... And Did!
He Did Not His Father-God 
Inerrant
Able
Deny!

Man's Tradition Is Not God's Doctrine
AND
Man's Doctrines 
Are Not God's Commands
AND
All Who Command Otherwise
Will Face The Wrath
Of The Conquering Lamb
The Holy Son Of God
The Only Savior Of The Kind Called 
Man!

Pssst?!

Tell Me, If You Will ...

Where And How
Do YOU

On This Matter

Stand!!??
