EXPIATION: Do You Really Believe In That ...!?!

CHOICE :
The Gift Of Almighty God
Encompassing Free Will
Because
Almighty God Has Given Unto Us Mortal Men
Power, Opportunity, And The Option

To Choose To Love And Trust Him

FAITH:

The Gift Of Almighty God

Offering Power, Opportunity And The Option

To Believe

To Trust

To Obey

Almighty God At His Stated Word

For An Offered And Desired Benefit!

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

Since

Jesus Christ Paid For All Our Sin
And
Guarantees That We Are Sin-Free
When We Exercise The Faith That He Gives To All As A Gift
- A Down-Payment On Eternity -
And
Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin
And
Believe That He Did The Deed

And

We Then Choose Not To Believe

And

We Then Refuse To Believe That 

We Are Forgiven
Does That Mean That Jesus Christ
Did Not Perform As He Promised
And
His Sure And Pure Sacrifice Was
Is 

Not Efficacious!?!

It Could Be A Riddle ...

Is The Gift Of Faith Not Potent Enough!?!
Is The Gift Of Faith Worthless!?!

Whose Fault Is It
When The Known-Redeemed Soul
Rejects ... Out Of Hand
Jesus Christ's Sure And Secure Salvation!?!

Is There Anything Else That 

Jesus Christ Can Do To Convince The Purchased Soul 

To Accept The Blessed Gift Of Eternal Life!?!

Why Does
- Why Would -
The Sinner Doubt The Savior!?!

Why Does The Sinner Not Know
Or Recognize That
He Is Adding The Sin Of Doubt
To His Known-Long List Of Unconfessed Sin!?!

Why Does The One In Need Of The Savior
Take The Path That Satan Threads
Instead Of The Path That
Jesus Christ Trod!?!

What Will It Take To Cause A Sinful Doubter
- A Doubting Sinner -
To Exercise Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

Why Do Believers, Believe The Word Of Jesus Christ!?!

Why Do Doubters, Doubt The Word Of Jesus Christ!?!

Same Home, Same Teaching ...

Why Was Cain Different From Abel!?!
Why Was Ham Different From Shem And Japheth!?!
Why Was Esau Different From Jacob!?!
Why Was Joseph Different From His Brethren!?!
Why Did The Prodigal Son Leave Home!?!

Why Did Lucifer Covet The Position Of Christ!?!
Why Did Satan Desire To Be As The Most High
To Occupy Heaven's Throne
And
The Hearts Of All Around Him!?!

What Is The Excuse For Sin!?!

There Is No Excuse For Sin!

Bad Choice Costs!
Good Choice Pays

And
Making The Decision
To Depart From Sin To Enter Salvation
Always Great Dividends Pay!

Exercising One's Personal Franchise ...

Jesus Christ Gives!
I Choose To Receive! 

Jesus Christ Blesses!
I Choose My Sin To Confess!

Jesus Christ Forgives!
I Choose To Repent! 

Jesus Christ Heals!
I Choose Before Him To Kneel! 

Jesus Christ Reveals!
I Choose My Known-Sin Not To Conceal!

Jesus Christ Leads!
I Choose To Follow! 

Jesus Christ

- By The Holy Spirit -

Guides And Chides!
In Him, I Choose To Confide, To Abide!

Jesus Christ Is Truth!
In Him, I Choose To Trust! 

Jesus Christ Is Light!
Being With Him, I Cannot Walk In Darkness! 

Jesus Christ Is Life!
Being In, And Living For Him, I Have Eternal Life!

I Know That My Redeemer Liveth!

How Come I Know
But
The Doubter Knows Not
When We Are All Privvy
To The Same Preserved Truth!?!

I Am A Worm
A Flower Of The Field
A Child Of The Dust
A Sinner Once Marked For
The Second Death
But 

Now Aiming For Zion
Beulah Land
New Jerusalem
The Kingdom Of The Blessed!

I Know ...

I Did Not Make Myself
So I Will Not Doubt The One
Who Says
Who Daily Proves 

- According To The Preserved Word

By His Every Action In My Life

In The Lives Of Others

In Nature - That
He Did

And

In His Favor

I Choose To Use My Gift Of Faith!
I Choose To Trust The Lord Christ!
I Choose To Inherit Eternal Life In Christ
In Almighty God's Great And Glorious  Paradise!

Sin Sells!
Salvation Saves!
The Savior Sacrificed!
Satan Savages And Ravages!

CHOICE:

I Am Jesus Christ's ... Alone!

FAITH:

Jesus Christ Will Help Me

To Arrive Safely

At The Heavenly ... Home!

Almighty God Is Truth:

He Gave The Living Word! 

He Said It: I Believe It! 

For Me, The Case Is Closed!

Jesus Christ, My Redeemer

Erased

Paid For

Removed 

Freed Me 

Expiated ... My Personal Sin

And

I Am Going Home With Him

Even If I Go Alone!

Choice Faith Matters!

SATAN ACCUSES & ABUSES: Self-Hurt Is Not A Part Of Our Faith!

They Are Singing:

Greater Is He That Is In Me

Than He That Is In The World!

And Yet ...

Several Of Their Children
Were Being Cripplingly Bullied
AND
A Couple Of The Children
Had Exited The Earth With Prejudice
And ... Still
The Song Is:

Greater Is He That Is In Me ...!!

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
1 John 4:4‭, ‬13

There Is Something Very Wrong Here
AND
It Tells Us A Great Deal About
Our Christianity
AND
Our Faith, Belief, Hope, Love, Living, Life And Trust!

• What Are We Teaching Our Children About Him In Whom We Believe?
• Why Are Our Children Not Believing What We Believe?
• Why Are Our Children Not Receiving The Faith Of Belief?
• What Is It That Our Children Truly Believe?
• Whose Is The Voice That Our Children Are Hearing And Explicitly Trusting?

Job's Case Is The First One Documented Of
Bully Boy El Capitan Satan
In Inglorious Action
Plus ...
Some Friendly Fire!

And What Was Job's Response?

Elijah Was Bullied
AND
Bothered By Wicked Queen Jezebel!

David Suffered At The Hand Of Saul
AND
Steven Was Bullied By The Church!

Bullying Is A War Without Cause
Beating A Soul With A Belt Of Bear Claws
Cutting Deep
Deeply Exposing Flaws
As It Pushes One
Into The Fabricated Death Maw!

Bullying Is A Satanic Ploy
To Raise Up For Satan
A Dog For War
From A Soul Tortured
Who Then Curses
Asking:

What God?!

AND
Saying:

There Is No God!

As He Believes The Lies
Of The Great Bold Fraud!

The Response To Bullying And Abuse
Is Plainly Written Down For Our Edification:

Elijah Ran!
He Asked God To Take His Life!
God Fed Him
AND
Asked Him What He Was Doing
In The Unappointed Place
AND
Showed Him God's Power
AND
Spoke To Him In That Still Small Voice
AND
Sent Him On A Mission
AND ... At The Appointed Time
After Elijah's Completion Of His Work For God
God Called For Him To Come Home
AND
Sent His Personal Coach
To Carry Elijah
To God's House!

David Prayed
AND
Praised God Always!
David Walked Away!
David Rode Out Of The Way!
David Moved Away!
David Did His Appointed Work
AND
He Told His Abuser
About Said Abuser Doing The Devil's Work
In A Causeless Cause!

Stephen Was A Man Of Integrity
AND
A Committed
AND
Powerful Minister Of The Whole Gospel Of God!
He Taught His Accuser-Abusers
The Straight Word
AND
They Murdered Him
Who Was Blessed Of God!

Look At The Outcomes For Those Who Abuse The People Of God:

1. Satan Has An Unchangeable Appointment With The Lake Of Fire And Brimstone
After He Spends 1,000 Years In Misery With No One To Abuse And In Contemplation Of His Rottenness And Evil Ways!

2. Job's Friends Were Personally Chastised By God
AND
The Abused Job Had To Make Sacrifice To God
And Pray That They Be Saved Of God!

Job Was Vindicated!
Job Got Back All That He Had Lost
AND
Was Raised To Greater Glory
AND
Saw His Generations Come Forth
For Having Maintained His Integrity Before God!

3. David's Tormentor Saul 
After Having Repaired
To The Abominable Witch Of Endor - A Vessel Of Satan
Was Destroyed By His Own Hand
After Having Seen His Sons Die
And Having Himself Been Injured.

David Is - By God - Called The Man After God's Own Heart!
AND
The Redeemer Of The World Is Out Of His Loins!

4. Elijah's Abuser Queen Jezebel
The Idolater Par Excellence
Was Cursed Of God
AND
Came To A Gross End
Tossed By Her Own Servants
From A Height
To Be Eaten Of Wild Dogs.

Jezebel's Testament To The World Is In The Remains Of Her Body Found AFTER The Dogs Had Eaten Her:

• Her Head - Symbol Of Her Gross Consuming Belief In Useless False Gods
• Her Hands - Symbol Of Her Willingness To Do (Write) Evil Perjured Testimony
• Her Feet - Symbol Of Her Willful Willingness To Walk Contrary To The Living God!

Elijah Didn't Ever Die aka Elijah Is Still Alive TODAY! Hallelujah!

5. Stephen's Accusers
Were Grieved In Their Spirits
At The Words Of Truth
Which Disclosed Their Thoughts
AND
Spoke To Their Evil Actions!

Their Punishment Left Their House
- The Chosen Approved Church -
Unto Them ... DESOLATE!

Their Time Of Probation Was Over!
Thereafter, Judgement Began At The House Of God!

Almighty God Gifted Stephen
- In His Dying Agonies -
With A Vision Of The Throne Room Of God
And His Savior ... Standing Up ...
In Judgment Against The Accuser-Abusers!

Each Person Here
Bullied
Abused
Was Raised To Glory
Through The Excellent Exercise Of Faith
Displaying To All
Their Total Belief 
In The Eternal Provision
Of The Everlasting Father
Who Provides Sweet Peace
For The Riven Soul!

Love Had A Home!
Hope Had Wings!
Prayer Had Passion
AND
The Peace Of God
Dwelt Within!

I Dare To Ask:

Who Is Our God To Us In Our Battles
IF
As The Text Says
The Spirit Of God Dwells Within Us Who Believe?

Do We Really Believe
Have Faith
Love God
AND
Trust Ourselves To His Unerring Deliverance?

From My Own Personal Experience
I Will Tell You True
We Must Have The Gall
To Trust God All The Way
AND
The Unfettered Faith
To Believe
That Our God Can Our Plight Relieve!

Put Another Way
We Must Anchor Our Faith
In The Rock Of Our Salvation
Knowing
- Without Sight -
That With Our God
There Is No Night
AND
Even Though Our Eyes Cannot See
AND
Even Though Our Nerves Be E'er Frayed
We Must Not
- By The Holy Spirit's Leading -
Give In To Our Known Fears!

Before All

In All

AND

After All

God IS All

So ...

Let The Accuser Be Damned

AND

Live For The Almighty God!

Wearing Sin!?!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Deodorant!
It is Like 24 Hour On Duty!
It is Only Discovered When It's Protection Has Failed 
For Lack Of Scheduled Maintenance Renewal!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Perfume!
It Smells Good On Us!
The Sin Is Only Discovered When
It Shows Up As The Covering Scent Wears Off!

Some Of Us Wear Sin Like Mouthwash!
As Long As We Keep our Mouths Washed
There Is Hope Of Discovery!
Lack of Reapplication And The Stench Comes Out!

Some Of Us Wear Sin Like Nail Polish!
The Ugliness Is Covered Up 
Until The Polish Starts To Crack
And Chip and Peel Off, and 
Suddenly
Whoops! There It Is! 
The Certain Exposure!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Good Diapers!
Nothing Leaks Out!
Problem Comes When We Forget 
To Make The Needful Change 
In Padded Protection, and 
The Stench Wafts Out and Up, and 
There Is The Amazing Discovery!

I Don't Know About You,  Friend
BUT
I've Worn All
Of Sins' Camouflage!

I've Walked Like A Pillar Of Society
AND
I've Disdained Those Who 
Couldn't Conceal That They'd Been Bad
BUT
That Was Until The Day I Really Met King Jesus
AND
He Bade Me To Divest
AND
Take A Clean Bath!

I Had No Choice!
I Really Didn't
For 
I'd Broken Down
AND
Revealed All
AND
There Was Now No Place To 
Insert The Shame-faced Chagrined Laugh!

I Cried!
I Bowed!
I Prayed!
I Was No More Proud
For
The Underbelly Of The Slug Had Been Salted!

I Lifted Up My Ashamed Gaze!
I Saw My Master
Through The Teary Haze
AND
My Confession Led To
An Offer Of Eternal Days
By Walking Holy
Faithful
Trusting
Praising
Praying
AND
Leaning
On Him
Who Holds All My Days!

No More Hiding!

Confession and Repentance Have Collided
AND
On The Glory Road
This Repentant - Forgiven - Sinner 
Is Walking
AND
Residing!
