HAPPY SABBATH + Seed-Time ... And Harvest!?!





Character Is The Harvest
We Get From Living Life
And
Character Determines Our Destiny
In The Here And Now
And
No Surprise
Whether We Shall Inherit Satan's Declared And Damned End
Or Jesus Christ's Glorious And Eternal Life!

King Solomon Was Granted The Gift Of Wisdom
Which He Used
And
Subsequently Misused
And
Received In His Heart
In His Person
The Profits Earned For A Life Abused
But
Almighty God
In His Love ... His Mercy
Sent Solomon A Reality Check
And 
Being Wise Unto Soul Salvation
Solomon Did Upon His Life ... His Time On Earth
Did Solemnly Reflect
And
Came To The Cutting Conclusion That
As In The Crop Of Nature
Where Harvest Always, 
Always
Follows Seed-Time ... Sowing
Cultivating ... Growing
Maturing
So In The Growth Of Man:

We Have A Life: Seed
We Grow From Baby To Adulthood
We Develop Attributes Of Character
And
Attributes Actively Assimilated ... Nurtured
Are Those Very Character Traits
Which In Our Lives
Will Dominate And Lead Out
And
Shape For Us A Final Destiny
To Or Against The Holy God
And
In The Great Day Of Small Things
We Shall Reap ... Receive
Our Just, Fitting, Cultivated, Reward!

There Is No Risk In Serving The Savior!
There Is Only Great Reward!


Consider This ...

The Blessing Of The Lord
It Maketh Rich
And
He Addeth No Sorrow To It!

Blessed Are They Who Die In The Lord!
If We Are Blessed Who Die
In ... The Lord
It Stands To Reason That
Cursed Are They Who Die
Without The Lord!

Jesus Christ Said:

I Go To Prepare A Place For You
In My Father's House Already Built
Where There Are Many Mansions!
I Am Coming Back For You
And I Shall Receive You Unto Myself
That Where I Am
There Ye May Be Also!


Jesus Christ Is Not Receiving Dead Men!
He's Receiving Reinvigorated, Glorified Saints!
The Righteous Dead Live
In ... Jesus Christ
So, Hallelujah To The Lamb!




Just As He Asked Martha:

"Believest Thou This!?! 

I Ask Us:
Do We Believe Enough
To Accept The Promise
To Live The Life Of Christ
Modeled On The Faith Exercised By
And
Gifted To Us By Jesus
And
To Die The Death That Is Sleep
For The Saints Of God
Trusting
The God Of All Grace
Who Cannot Lie!?!
The Word Of God
The Glory Of God
The Character Of God
Are One And The Same Thing!
He Is Jealous Of His Name
His Character
And
A False Promise Is Not In, Or Of, Him!

Will You Believe And Trust The Living Word
And
Believe And Trust Him
Despite What You See And Hear
And ... Feel!?!

Jesus Christ Raised The Rotted Dead Back To Life!
He Proved His Word
And
He Will Do The Same For Us
So Let's Praise, Worship
Honor And Obey
Bless And Ever Believe
The Word Of Our King Jesus
Who, Being Ever Faithful
Is
Coming To Earth Again ... Real Soon!

The Second Coming Of The Lord Christ
May Be Morning
May Be Evening
May Be Even At Noon
So, Know Of A Surety
Whatever The Life You Lead
Whatever Character You Cultivate
At The Grand Appearing
Whatever The Time Of Day
You Will Not ... You Cannot
- Even If You Wanted To -
Change Your Tune!

Let Jesus Christ
By His Holy Spirit
- The Spirit Of Truth -
Groom Your Character
So That In The Fullness Of Time
You Shall Inherit
The Eternal Youth Bloom!

TRUTH: Undeniable

No Middle Ground!
No Second Probation!
Eternal Life Or Eternal Death!
These Are The Options Available
To Me And To You!

Sow To The Flesh!
Sow To The Spirit!
The Options Are Plain!
Sowers And Sowing Have A Prescribed Limit!

Decisions Must Be Made ...

Man Woman
Girl Boy
Elder Junior
Choice Chance: Informed Decisions Will Be Made!

You Live!
You Die!
Friends And Family WilCry!
You Rest In Peace!
Others Live On In The Mortal Strife
But
At The End Of It All
Will There Be A Surprise
When Ends The Life Of The Blue Ball!?!





Life Unto Life Eternal!
Death Unto Death Eternal!

Picture It ...

Live For Christ: Dies In Christ
And
Arises From Death To Rise Up To Glory
With The Lord
The King, Jesus Christ
To Enjoy Peace And Bliss
In The Eternal Life!

Live For Self, Sin, And Satan:
Dies In Known And Practiced Sin
And
Gets Up To Face The Judge's Condemnation
And
In The Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone
Will, With Satan And The Condemned Of The Ages
Be Assuredly Cast In!

What Damnation!

There Is No Do-Over!
Sin Is Over-Done!
But ...

No Shock!
There Is Present Forgiveness For
Confession And True Repentance
For Those Wise Who Choose To Live 

Under The Son!

The Son 
Is 
The Creator God
The Savior, The Redeemer
The Forever Friend
The One Willing
- Who Paid The Asked Price For Our Sinning -
The Only One Who Could See Through
And
Overcome Satan
And
The Demonic Device!

The Strong Tower ...

We Are To Take The Word Of God As Sacrosanct
Untouchable
Unchangeable
Unimpeachable
Totally Livable
Eternally Lovable
And
We Who Are The Called
The Wise
The Willing
The Believing

The Trusting
The Obedient
The Enduring Faithful
The Watching, Working, Waiting Ones
Shall Emerge Cleansed, Healed
Purified
Glorified
Because
Jesus Christ The Lord
The Word
Is
The Truth
Undeniable!



Give The Living Holy God
Unfeigned Praise!
Be Grateful For Grace:
Give Thanks
For
Innumerable
Immeasurable
Blessings!

PRAYER: Father, I Cannot Live And Prosper Without The Lord Christ!





Father,
I Cannot Live And Prosper
Without The Lord Christ!
I Need Him To Hold My Weak And Trembling Hand!
Without Him To Mark The Way Before Me
I Cannot In The World Safely Stand!


I Need The Lord Christ To Shepherd Me!
I Need The Holy Spirit To Comfort Chide And Teach!
I Need The Holy Angels To Protect Me
And
Influence Me To Do The Good And The Right:
Please Help Me To Remain Confident
In The Holy Faith
So That I May Emerge As Gold
To Possess Eternal Life
When Ends The Dark Night Of This Mortal Strife!


Father,
I Love You!
Help Me To Love You By My Willing Obedience

And
By My Words And All My Doings!

I Desire To Help In The Kingdom's Work!
Please Keep Me Faithful In The Faith Of Jesus
So That My Love Will Be Displayed

In Faithful And Obedient Stewardship
As I Grow And Work Where I Am Planted!


The Living Word Says That Judgment Begins
In Your House, Father
And That We Are Measured
By The Perfect Law Of Liberty!
Please Help Me Not To Measure Myself
By My Own Yardstick
But To Measure Myself
According To Yours!


Help Me Not To Fall Aside To Fables
And
Comfortable Tales
Because It Is My Desire 

To Be What You Have Called Me To Be!
I Willingly Accept The Free Salvation
Purchased At Infinite Price For Me!


Jesus Christ Is My Example
And
He Has Given Ample Proof
That It Is Possible To Walk Wisely
In Your Perfect Will
Being Ever Obedient
Even Though The Accuser
The Adversary
The Enemy Of Souls
Is Raging
Is Murderously Vengeful
Ever Seeking To Draw The Faithful Away
From The Light Of Life
So That In The Darkness Of The Sinful Soul
We May Be Easily Killed!
Please Rob Him Of His Goal!


Help Me To Rest
Help Me To Abide
Help Me To Lean Heavily
Hopefully
Wholly On My Lord, The King!
I Desire In The Heavenly Chorus
Your Praises Joyfully To Sin!


Father,
Please Heal My Body
My Mind
My Heart
My Hurts
And
Please Hold My Head To The Holy Heart
That Is Ever Touched
With The Feelings Of My Infirmities!

I Desire To Live In Peace With You, Now
And
Forever In Paradise, Later
When There Is No Separating Veil Between Us!


Thank You, Father
For The Grace!
I Am Boldly Approaching The Throne
For Present Help!
Please Grant Unto Me
Ever-Increasing Faith
That Can Withstand Disappointment
And Delay
And Deprivation
And All Without Murmuring Or Sinful Doubt!


I Believe The Living Word!
Please Cleanse Me Of Any Lingering Unbelief!
I Am Trusting The Lord Christ
For Sure And Certain Soul Salvation!
Help Me Not To Bring Shame Or Disgrace
To The Holy Name!
Thank You For Hearing My Prayer

And
Thank You For Answering 
For I Ask These Few Mercies
In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name!

Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

Under-Cover Boss ... And Fine Print!?!

Imagine That!

What!?!

Jesus!

What Do You Mean!?!

Jesus Christ Is Our Under-Cover Boss
Living
In Plain Sight Of
Those Who On Him Believe!

Ohhhh!
You Had Me Going There For A Moment!

Jesus Said:

Who Is Not Planting With Me Is Against Me!
If We Are Not Planting With The Lord Christ
We Are Plucking Up The Beautiful Garden
Because
We Are Endorsing And Promulgating
The Known Strife!

The Lord Is Sowing Mercy!
The Lord Is Sowing Grace!
The Lord Is Raising Up A Harvest For Salvation
But
The Devil
- That Old Satan -
Is Adding Darnel
To Cause Many To Be Felled In Disgrace!

Oh, Dear!
Sad To Say That What You Say Is True!

Truth Be Told
Satan Is Robbing Men Of
The Gift Of Eternal Youth!

You Know
If We Will Learn All We Can About Christ Jesus
The One Real
We Will Never Be Mamaguyed
By The False One
The Known And Damned Disgrace!

Jesus Christ Has Made The Way For Man!
When We Choose To Believe Him
We Can On Truth
Against That Lying Satan
Firmly Stand!

When We Follow The Path Of Light
That Our Glorious Lord Has For Us Prepared
We Will Never Be Felled By Satan
Nor Will We Be By His Sophistries Ensnared!

Jesus Christ Is Available To All
And Plainly Visible To All
Who Call Upon Him For Sure Sight!

Satan Is Making His Way In Darkness
And
Darkness
Even Gross Darkness
Is
Enveloping The Sinful
Unrepentant
Unregenerated
Self-Indulgent People!

Think About It ...

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Undercover Boss
Exposed To All
Revealing To All
The Delights Of Walking In Heavenly Light
Secure From Decimating Blight!

Satan 
Is 
The Undercover Boss ... Deeply Concealed
And
Introducing People To The Execrable "Pleasures" Of
The Dark Night
And
Causing Them To Believe That
There Is No Lord-Of-Life Flight
To The Land Of No-Night 
Where All Is To The Soul's Delight! 

Under The Cover Of Darkness
Sin Is Making Its Way
Into The Lives Of The Unsuspecting
Making Them War Against Him
Who For Their Own Sin Did Pay!

But ...

Jesus Christ The Savior Is Righteous!
Jesus Christ The Redeemer Blesses All!
Jesus Christ The Shepherd Is Calling
Unto All Those Who Under Sin's Curse
Do Fall!

Do Not Be A Slave To Emotion!
Do Not Be A Slave To Your Eyes!
Do Not Be A Slave To Consuming Passion
Because, Then
You Will Become A Slave To Satan's Lies!

Trust Jesus Christ For Your Favor!
Trust Jesus Christ For Eternal Life Free!
Trust Jesus Christ The Rock Of All Ages
Who Is Still Beckoning To Me And To Thee!


Heaven Is Free!
Hope Is Free!
Faith Is Free!
Grace Is Free!

Blessing Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Free!
Truth Is Free!

Always Read The Fine Print:

Love Is Free!
Immortality Is Free!
Incorruptibility Is Free!

Wisdom Is Free!

Folly Costs A Fee!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sin's Pressing In BUT ... I'm Pressing On!







The Half Had Not Been Told
But

There I Was Seeking After Christ
And

His Righteousness!
I Wanted Eternal Life In The Safe Fold!

As Directed
I Had Considered The Things That Were
True Honest Just Pure Lovely
And
Those That Had Had A Good Report
And

I Had Arrived At Salvation Station! 

I Had Checked In My Heavy Bag Of Sin
And Eagerly
- Though Somewhat Anxiously -
Had Taken My Seat
On The Glory Bound Local! 

I Had Thought To Catch The Glory Bound Express
But
I Soon Discovered That I Had Been Laboring 
Under A Bit Of Misinformation!

Fact Is ...

There Ain't No Glory Bound Express ... Ever!
It Was An Uncomfortable Beginning!

The Seats Had Nary A Cushion
And

The Floor Had Gravel For The Repose Of Your Feet!

You Should Have Seen My Shocked Face!

Let's Get This Straight, Up Front ...

Neither Those With High Minds
Illuminated Aspects
Worldly Heels
Nor Unshod Feet
Will Survive The Journey!

You Cannot Be Double-Minded!
You Cannot Have Itching Ears!
You Can't Have Beams In Your Eyes!
But

You Must Go To The Rock ... And Be Broken!
And
That Be-Broken Business 
Causes Many To Get Off The Train
Because
They Much Prefer Walking Right
In Their Own Eyes!

Yesterday ...

I Arrived At Higher Ground!
I Was Truly Pressing On!
New Heights Were Coming Into View!
I Was On
The Upward Way
In The Land Who Knew
That The Lord Himself Drew!

Right Now, Though ...

I Am Famished!
It Was Time For A Repast
And

The Servers Came Rolling Out!

Yeah For Sustenance For The Weary Soul!

The Good News Concession
Blessed Be The Ties That Bind

Was Serving "Love For Sure"
"Truth In The Inward Parts"
"Holy Host Power"
"Bread Of Life"
And

"God's Love We Deliver!"

Pergamum By The Prince Of Persia
Was Serving Up "Love Yourself!"
"Self Adoration"
"Do What Thou Wilt"
"Me, Myself And I"

And

"About Face!"

For A Moment
- A Fond-Memory Moment -
I Gazed Hungrily At "Self Adoration!"
It Used To Be My Favorite Pie!

I Shook Myself!
Memory Faded!
And
The Moment Passed
And

I Gazed Lovingly At The Good News
And

Emboldened With The Instilled Confidence Of 
Jesus Christ's Faith
I Ordered One Of Everything!

I Knew That I Couldn't Eat It All
In One Go
But

I Was Preparing For A Siege
Which I Had Been Warned
Was Sure To Come!

I Had Been Told That ...

In The Art Of War
Preparation ... Is Key!
In The Realm Of Faith
Obedience And Trust ... Are Key!
In The Land Of The Blessed
All Sins Are Confessed!
Sorrow For Sin Expressed!
And

All Those Who Had Leaned Firmly On The Everlasting Arms
And
Endured All Faithfully
Experience ... In The Fullness Of Time
Eternal Bliss!

I Desire The Bliss!
The Bliss Comes From The Christ!
I Need The Christ
In Whom Is No Demonic Device!

Suddenly ...

I Hear The Cry:

Soul-Searching Ahead! 

Soul-Searching Ahead!


In Unfeigned Humility
I ... Knowing My Need
Bowed My Head
And

I Cried:

Search Me, Oh, God

And Know My Heart Today!
Purge Me With Hyssop And I Shall Be Clean! 
Wash Me And I Shall Be Whiter Than Snow! 
Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence! 
Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God!
Deliver Me From This Body Of Death! 
Be Thou My Vision!
I Will Behold Your Face In Righteousness! 
Lead Me Gently Home, Father!
I Love You! 
Hear My Prayer
And
Guide Me, Oh, Thou Great Jehovah!!


Light Shone!
There Was Sunshine In My Soul!
I Was Praising, Praising, Praising The Lord!
I Was Headed Toward The Great Reward!
Hallelujah To The Lamb!

I Tell You The Truth ...

The Lord Is My Light!
He's My Joy!
He's My Song!
By Day, By Night
He Leads Me Along!

There Is One Thing That 
I Need To Remember Though ...

On The Narrow Road To Surpassing Glory
Damnation
Is 
On Either Side
Flashing Bright Lights
Tawdry Nights
And
Self
Self-Aggrandizement
Self-Satisfaction!

And, So
For My Own Soul's Sake
I Got On The Prayer-Phone
AndI Spoke To The One Who
For Me
Did Atone! 

I Was Comforted
For
I Am Told That
A Child Of The Father
A Sheep Of The Fold
A Lover Of Jesus
Does Not Travel Through Life
Through Tribulation
Alone!

I Gloried In The Cross!
I Hailed The Lord Of Life!
I Blessed The King Eternal
And

I Believe Truly That
Our God Is Able
That
The King Of Kings
The Lord Of Lords
Was Not
Is Not
Cannot Ever Be
A Fable!

I Desired My Seat At The Lord's Welcome Home Table
But, For Now
I Am Satisfied To Be Known Of The Lord
For
The Day Is Fast Approaching When
I Shall Know
Even As I Am Now Known
For
I Shall See My Jesus
Just As He Is
In All His Glory!
I Shall See The King ... Someday ... Soon!

My Journey Is Ongoing!
More About Jesus I Am Knowing!
Almighty God
His Truths Are Bestowing
And

Blessings Abundant
Daily
I Am Knowing!
In Truth, I Am Growing!

HAPPY SABBATH + Spiritual Darkness!?! + PRAYER: We Have Hope In You, Lord!




When Darkness Descends Upon Man
It Is Not Because Almighty God's Grace Is Withdrawn!
Truth Is
Darkness Descends Upon Man
Because
He Has Rejected The Living God's Light
AND
That Without Just Cause!

The Eternal God's Light Is Given To All 
Who Will Receive It
While Faithfully Trusting The Giver
Who Is Also Our Maker!

That Light Accepted
Brings The Repentant Sinner
To His Knees
So That The Blessing Of The Grace Of God
- Exuding Mercy -
He May Continually Receive
BecauseIn The Holy God
He Truly Believes!

Accepting The Sovereign God's Light
Requires Man To Accept
AND
To Utilize
Jesus Christ's Holy Faith
The Measure Of Which
Each Day Is In Place
AND
Those Who Avail Themselves Of
The Daily Blessing Freely Shared
Have Nothing Of Soul Salvation
About Which To Be Scared!

Obviously ...

Light ... Lights!
Darkness ... Conceals!

Light
AND
Darkness
Cannot Inhabit The Same Field

AND
Likewise
In The Heart Of Man
Darkness And Light
Cannot
Will Never Hold Hands
AND
All Who Choose
By Almighty God's Grace
To Spread Their Received Light
Shall Be To Our Master
- Our Heavenly Father -
A Truly Blessed
- Hedged In -
Delight!

Brethren, Beloved
I Charge Us All Here
AND
In Plains Words Clear
Please Walk In Jesus Christ's Shed Light
AND
That Without Fear!

He Who Sends Us To Labor 
Is
Almighty!
He Who Feeds Us 
Is
The Creator God
Loving Giving
AND
To Our Hearts Dear
AND
We May Walk Boldly
Humbly
- Without Decimating Pride -
Doing The Lord's Bidding
Until Death
Or
Christ Comes
AND
We 
- The Church Triumphant -
Cross The Great Divide!

Brethren,
Be Bold
AND
Be The Pointed Light Against The Gathering Darkness!
Let The Light Of The Living God
- The Light Of Life Within You -
Shine Forth Until The Day Dawns
For
Then Comes The Great Reward!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Hear Our Prayer!
We Are Believing Children
And
We Are Drawing To You, Near!

Bless Us, Lord
To Let Our Lights Brightly Shine
So That We May Tell A Brother
A Sister
A Neighbor
A Dear Friend
That Jesus Christ Is Soon Returning
And
That On Him We May Confidently Depend!

Father,
We Trust You
For
You Are The Living God Eternal
And
You Cannot Lie!
You Are The Blessing God Able
And
By Your Living Word Of Truth
We Can The Adversary Boldly Defy!

Father,
Please Bless Us To Make The Living Word
As Necessary As Our Daily Food
And
Please Lead Us Into All Righteousness
As We Attend The King Of Love's School!

Lord,
Guard Us
Guide Us
Bless Us With Bodily Peace
And
Soul Rest!
Teach Us To Love One another
And
Help Us Our Known Sins To Confess!

Father,
We Truly Need You
For
You Are Our Only God
And
We Approach Unto You
Not Fearful
But Supremely Sure
That You Will Not Turn Us Away!

We Worship You, Dear Father
And
We Bless Your Holy Name!
We Truly Treasure Our Gift
Which Was Your Sacrifice
And
Determinedly Abhor
The Demonic Device!

Lord,
We Will to Do Your Will!
We Long To See Your Face!
We Have Hope For A Grand Tomorrow
And
That Forever
And, As Promised
Without Sorrow!

Lead Us Into All Righteousness
By Your Holy Spirit
And
Protect Us By Your Holy Angels
And
Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For
We Ask All In The Only Name Of Him
By Whom
We Are Saved
Jesus Christ
The Lamb Of God!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.
