The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools!

KJV Luke 15:10
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.


 





Anyone Who Does Not Hold Our Almighty God In Godly Fear 
Is 
Fair Game To Satan And His Fallen Angels 
Who Will Work Diligently To Help Them Accumulate Enough Sin 
To Acquire The Fare For The One-Way Ticket 
To Hell 'N Damnation! 

All Of Us Already Have Enough Sin
But
The Committed-To-Christ Child Of God 
Being In Awe ... Godly Fear ... Of His Maker
And 
Believing The Word Of Promise
Will Choose To Daily Confess 
And 
Repent ... Turn Away From ... Known Sin! 

Time For A Think-Think ... 

Let Us Consider The Invitation To Confess ... And Repent
The Promise To Forgive ... And To Cleanse
The Decision To Follow Christ ... And Live By Faith That Cannot Fail Us
And 
The Blessed Hope Aka Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory! 
We Have Reason For Our Blessed Hope! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools! 
They Are "Yes, Lord!" And "Amen!" 
For All The Saints Of God And Christ 
Who Have Resolved To Live For The Lord Of Life
Who Exchanged His Life For Ours 
So That We Have The Opportunity 
To Transact A One-For-One Fair Exchange Of
Our Sinful Life For His Holy Life
Our Mortality For His Immortality
And 
Our Perishing Planet For His Perfect Paradise! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Let The Holy Spirit Guide You Into All Truth: 
Dare To Strive For The Crown That Doesn't Tarnish! 
Let Heaven Rejoice Over You Today! 


Truth And Peace
Are One!

LIVING BY FAITH: Acquiring The Heavenly Inheritance

When We Children And Thought Like Children
To Brand Ourselves
We Drew Tattoos With Ink On Our Hands
But
Now That We Are People Of The Book
We Desire The Brand That
Clearly Marks Us As Children Of God 
Purchased By The Innocent Blood Of
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Son Of God
The Pascal Lamb
The Son Of Man!
We're Living By Faith 
As Clearly States That Very Book: 


Galatians+3_24-27,+KJV | For You





However ...

It Is Quite The Trendy Thing 
To Hear The Unbelieving World
His Brother, Sister, Mother, Father And Best Friend 
Proudly Call Themselves The Children Of God: 
They Need To Get The Real Jesus! 

Living In Unbelief
Clearly States That One
Does Not Cooperate
With Jesus Christ!

We Also Hear "Christians" 
Who Do Not Exercise Faith
And 
Who Publicly Voice Their Doubt About Jesus Christ 
Being The Only Begotten Son Of Almighty God 
Call Themselves Children Of God: 
They Need To Rethink Their Family Connection! 

Hear The Right ...

It Is Impossible To Please God Without Faith! 
It Is Impossible To Have Faith Without Jesus! 
It Is Impossible To Be A Child Of God 
And
Get Home To The Father Without Jesus 
And
His Faith Working In Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing That We Can Do
That We Can Do Without Jesus! 
We Need Jesus To Get Faith To Trust Jesus 
And 
To Walk In Enduring Obedience 
To The Will Of Almighty God 
To Get Into A Mansion 
Prepared For Each Child Of God 
In The Family House Of The Living God Holy 
Who Knows The Thoughts 
And 
Intents Of Our Hearts! 

Living By Faith May Not Be Easy
But
It Is Truly A Necessity If We Will Be Saved!

Talk Is Cheap!
Exercising Faith Requires Discipline
And
With Constant Utilization
Trusting The Word That Cannot Fail
And
Using Our Daily Gift Of Faith For The Present Day
Relying Upon Our Lord Christ Becomes Second Nature!
We Willfully Acquire The Necessary Muscle-Memory
And
Our Faith In Our God Becomes Strong!

Trusting In The Lord Christ
When You Can't See His Hand
Is
Exercising Your Faith In Him
Which He, Himself, Gave To You!

Dare To Answer The Hard Question:

Are You Living By Faith
Forswearing Lying Eyesight
And
Really Walking As A True Child Of God? 


Remember,

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Perfect Peace
And
Where He Is, Is Home
So If You Don't Want To Lose Your Eternal Inheritance
Please See To It That 
You Use Your Daily Gift Of Faith ... Always
And
In All Ways!

STEPPING OUT ... IN FAITH: Jesus Christ Saves!




There's A Notorious, Demonic
Counterfeit Of Faith That Many Of Us Practice 
And 
Don't Even Know It! 

It's Presumption 
And 
It Can Lead To Deadly Consequences! 
Adam And Eve 
Presumed Upon Their Creator's Great Love For Them
To Save Them From Their Great Disobedience: 
It Didn't 
And 
We Are Living Out The Results Of Their Sin! 

Our Faith Claims God's Promises 
And 
Obeys His Word 
And 
Does His Will! 

Our Presumption Claims The Promises
Expects The Gifts
And 
Deliberately Disobeys God 
Daring Him To Protect Us From Our Own Folly!

We Should Not Tempt Almighty God! 

We Need To Be Faithful To Be Blessed! 

Let's Think Straight
To Be Wise ...

If Stepping Out In Faith
Is 
To Step Into The Unknown
And
You Are Sacrificially Loved And Blessed By
And
Personally Know 
And
Are Personally Known By 
The One God Holy Who Makes The Unknown, Known
And
Who Has Promised In His Own Blood
To Never Leave You Nor Forsake You
How Can Your Stepping Out In Faith 
Be Stepping Into The Unknown!?!

He Has Said Via The Inspired Word:





As Christians, We Are Asked, Called
To Live By Faith ... Not By Presumptuous Sight!
We Are Called To Trust 
In The Unseen, Holy, Eternal
Faithful, Just, Kind, Merciful
Giving, Forgiving
Saving, Healing
Sealing, Revealing
Blessing ... All-Knowing
All-Seeing, Ever-Present
All-Feeling Creator, Redeemer, Friend-To-The-End
God Of Grace
Our Provider And Sustainer!

Since Our God Is
And
Is Real
Having Been To See Us
And
To Show Us The Way To Live To Be Blessed
And
Revealed The Right Way To Pray
And
Having Died To Save Us
Still Lives
And
Is Presently Interceding
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
Is Soon To Return ... He Promised
For A People ... His People
Prepared And Ready To Go To His Home
Where He Has, Is Preparing, Places For Them
Why Would We Choose ... It Is A Choice
To Doubt Him At His Living And Preserved Word
Which Is A Transcript Of 
His Holy, Unchanging, Character!?!

His Mercies Showered Upon Us
Are New Every Morning!

The Lord God Almighty
Cares For All Of His Creatures
But
We Are Special:

We Are The Only Ones
Who Are Made In His Image
After His Likeness
And
We Are The Only Ones
Who Have Sinned Against His Holy Name
And
We Are The Only Ones
The Only Created Beings
For Whom ... In Sacrificial Love
He Willingly Bled 
And
Died To Save
Because
His Holy Love
Could Not ... Cannot ... Let Us Go To Damnation!

Soooo, What's With The Doubt Thingie!?!

You Just Made My Point! 

Huh!?! How!?! 

You Clearly Said: "Doubt Thingie! "
That's Like Thingamabob, Thingamajig, A Whatever
Not Worthy Of Its True Handle
It's Real Name! 

I Didn't Mean Anything By It! 
It's Just An Expression! 

Oh, Really!?!
How's About We Don't Call Sin
By Its First And Last Name
And Just Call It Cheese Danish
Chocolate Eclair
Apple Butter!?! 

You Can't Do That! 

And Why Not, Pray Tell!?! 

That Would Be Denigrating
The Holy Word Of God
And Giving Sinners Needing The Savior 
The Foolish Belief That Sin Ain't No Big Deal! 
Just Eat It ... And Get On About
Your Own Business! 
It Ain't No Biggie! 

That's Sliding Down A Slippery Slope! 

Yeah! 
One Gentle Push
And Off To Hell You Go! 

Oh, Dear! 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves!

We Need To Confess And Repent Of Our Sin!
We Need To Have Contrite Hearts
And
We Need, Now, Today
From Known Sin To Aggressively Depart!
Doubting Damns So From Doubting We Must Depart!

Jesus Christ Saves ... To The Uttermost!


Know The Right ...


By Faith
No Sin Is Too Low To Confess
No Sorrow Too Great For His Comfort!
No Need Is Too Broad For Satisfaction
And
No Hope Is Too Far-Fetched To Fulfil
According To His Will
Because
Jesus Christ Says That
We Are His Own By Creation
And
By Redemption
And
That We Do Not Travel In This Dark World Alone!

Jesus Christ The King Calls!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Answers!
Jesus Christ The Redeemer ... Saves!
The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides And Comforts
And
The Holy Angels Surround And Protect
And
Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right! 

We Should Dare To Be Bold
On This Pilgrim Journey! 
Our God Is Real, Reigning, And Returning! 
Our Savior Is Righteous And Redeeming! 
Our Redeemer Is Revealing And Sealing! 
Our Creator Is Providing And Sustaining! 
Our Shepherd Is Leading And Feeding! 
The Lord Christ ... Prince Shiloh
Is 
Our Perfect Peace! 

Brethren,

Salvation By Faith Is Personal
So I Speak For Myself
And 
With The Attitude Of The Saints
Who Have Gone To Their Rest:

My God Is Real! 
Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him! 
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
And 
If Almighty God Is For Me
Who Could Be Against Me!?! 

Before His Glorious Throne Of Grace

Let Us, In Working, Waiting, Watching, Faith
Humbly, Expectantly, Enduringly
Kneel Before Our Maker And Our God Eternal!

Jesus Christ Promised Me A Home In His Father's House
And
By His Grace
I Intend To Collect My Deed! 

We Have Choices To Make:

Feed On Foolishness From The Fiend And Fry

Or

Eat From The Hand Of The Shepherd Of Rest
And
In The Appointed Day ... With Him Leading
To Hill Zion Fly! 

Believe And Live! 

Doubt And Die! 

I'm Heading To The Sweet By And By!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONFLICTING PRIORITIES: Bent Conscience + PRAYER

Creeping Compromise
AND
Pressure To Conform
Are Adopted Children Of
Christian Living By-Faith!
They Are Really, Really, Really Bad Kids
AND
They Don't Care Who Know It!

Good Gracious!
How Did This Happen!

Very, Very, Very Slooooooooowly!

Why Did This Happen!?!

It Happened Because
Christian Living By-Faith
- Conscience Badly Bent -
Became Very, Very, Very Complacent
And Careless
And Ambivalent
And Gainsaying
And Greedy For Gain
And Anxious For Elevation
And Tired Of Waiting ...!

... Tired Of Waiting!?!
For Jesus!?!

Simply Put, Yes!

He Wanted The Wisdom
And The Power
And The Glory
And The Honor
And The Praise ...!

... You'd Better Stop!
You're Saying That He Wanted To Be God!

Pretty Much!

A Christian Wanting To Be God!?!

Another Lucifer In The Camp Of The Saints!

... Lord, Help Us!


How Does This Happen!?!

When A Christian Gets Complacent
About His Daily Prayers
And
Fixes His Focus
On What Brings Carnal Minds Cheer
He Forgets Who Is His Master
And
What His Mission Is
And
He Gets Himself All Tied Up In Getting Things
And
Causes Old Satan To Go Into Actionable Top Gear!

Complacent Christian Becomes Careless
- A Car Without Wheels -
And
Thinks Nothing Of Compromise
Because
His Eye Is On The Corporeal
And Not On The Heavenly Real
And
His Ears Tickle From Tasting
Tender Trite Bold And Base Lies
And
This Happens All Because 
He Is Into The ... I-Feels!

A Committed Christian
Is
A Christian Standing In Truth And On Fact
And
Not A Christian Devoted To Feeling
Because
When Feeling Is Foremost
Fact Suffers Lack
And
A Christian Suffering The Lack Of Facts
Is
A Weak Christian ... Primed 
For Satanic Attack!

A Weak Christian Under Satanic Attack
Indulges
In Ambivalence
Becoming Wishy-Washy 
And As Stable As A Wind-Blown Cloud
And
Subject To The Vagaries Of The Wind
By Which He Is Being Blown About!


The Ambivalent Christian
Then Indulges In Gainsaying
Challenging
The Very Word Of The Eternal Holy God
Not Fearful Of Chastisement
Willing Only Toward The Enticement
That Is The Trojan Horse Gift Of Satan
The Fallen Angel And God-Fraud!

Gainsaying Christian
Then Settles
For The Eyefull Of Current Time
And Foreswears The Bellyful
Promised
By The Lord God Holy Divine
And
Awaiting The Faithful
The Enduring
The Waiting Watching Working Saved
Who Shall Ascend To His Great Glory
And Live
Forever And Always!

With Gainsaying
Comes
Greed For Gain
And
Anxiety For Social Elevation
And
Soon
There Is Outright Rebellion
And
The Stated Tiredness Of Waiting On Jesus Christ
Our Savior, King And Lord
Who Ain't Never Coming Again
Because
He Has Heard That Jesus Was Coming
Since Adam Was A Lad
And
In His Illuminated Mind
He Is Now Become A Fable
A Bedtime Story
A Fad
And
He Is Truly Glad
That He Has Insight And Foresight
And
He Is Getting What's To Be Got
While The Getting Still Is 
The Thing Called Hot!

His Desire Is To Be Among The Have's
Not Among The Have-Nots!

Brethren, Beloved
Listen Closely Unto Me
Waiting On The Lord Is Not Doing Nothing!
It Is Doing Your Assigned Chore
With Humility
Dedication
Commitment To Task
Ignoring The Naysayers
And
Working The White Fields Vast!

He Who Is Cast Out
And Forever Broken
One Satan By Name
Is Uncaring Of Your Acquiring Worldly Gains
As Long As You Join Him 
In Unquenchable Flames!

All Who Are Greedy
Greedy For Gain
Are Pierced Through With Many Sorrows
And
End Their Lives In Abject Shame!

Please Do Not Be In A Hurry For Riches
For Mortal Man's Applause
For Profits' Chains
Because
In The Day Of Vengeance
Profit Is For Only Those Who
Sought The Elevation Of Jesus Christ The Lord
In The Hearts Of Those
Previously In Sin And Lost!
Please Count The Cost!

What Does It Profit A Man
If
He Shall Gain The Whole World
And
Lose His Own Soul!?!
What Will A Man Pay For To Save His Soul!?!

What Is Already Purchased
Cannot Be Bought Again
And
Specifically That Already Bought By
The Glorious King Of Love
The Lord Of Life!
In Him Is Our Only Means Of Survival
Of
The Earthly Strife!




What Jesus Christ Has For Us ... Is Free!
When Jesus Christ Sets Us Free We Are ... Indeed Free!
Heaven Awaits ... The Sin-Free!


Buy Lies
And
Walk To Hell For Free!

Creeping Comprise
And
Rush To Conformity
Are Shoes Best Left 
In Damnation's Free-For-All Store!

Don't Bite The Pretty Lure!
Don't Buy The Musical Lore!

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

PRAYER:

Father,
I Thank You
For Your Promise To Me
Of
Life Everlasting
Of
Peace Eternally!

I Bless You, Lord
For My Innumerable Blessings!
I Trust You For My Daily Care!
I Will To Follow Jesus Christ
My Only Savior
And
Wait On Him Faithfully
To Share His Riches
In Paradise!
In Mercy
Please Hasten
The Great Redemption Day!

Please Help Thou My Brethren
In Families Near And Far
And
Bless Them With All Blessing
So That They Will
Steadfastly Walk
To The Glorious Kingdom
Whose Gates, Beckoning
Now Widely Stand Ajar!

Please Hear My Heart's Plea
And
May Your Holy Spirit
Gently Guide Us
Into All Truth
And
The Holy Angels
Stand Perpetual Guard!

Remember Us All, Lord
According To Your Divine Will
And
In Your Holy Way
For
In Jesus Christ's Name
I Pray And Humbly Plead!
AMEN.

The Morning Of Bliss Is In Our View!

The Surrogates For Satan
Are In The Operational Mode Earth Conservancy
Never Considering
Totally Ignoring
Desperately Despising
The Eternal God's Sovereignty
AND
Corralling People Into Small Spaces
Igniting Firestorms Of Evil In Their Midst
AND
Encouraging Them To Kill Each Other
So That "The Once Dying Now Man-Saved Earth" 
Will Give The Celebrated
Illuminated
An Image Of  Perfection And Bliss!

God Destroyed The Earth Before With Water!
This Go Around It Is Reserved For Fire
AND
There Is Nothing That The Devil And His Imps Can Do
- By Themselves
Nor By Man's Hand -
That Will Cause The Earth
Early To Expire!

The Lord Made A Promise To His People
A Promise  Signed Off On In Innocent Blood
That He Is Coming For His Elect
- At God's Perfectly Known And Appointed Time -
To Take Them Us To His Home
In Heaven Above!
God Is Faithful!
He, To Us, Is Love!

Just As When The Lord Was In Mount Sinai
AND
The Earth Shook And Convulsed
In His Presence
The Closer That The World Gets
To The Lord's Second Return
All Nature Convulsing
Is What We Can Expect!


The Lord In Zion Reigneth!
Oh, Let His People Rejoice!
Acknowledge
The Sure And Plain Signs
Of
His Soon Coming
And
Don't Let Doubters Stay
Your Rejoicing Voice!

Sing Of God's Grace!
Christ Is Coming In Glory!
Sing Of The Homeward Bound Train!
Sing A Joyful Hallelujah!
Sing It, Brethren Faithful!
Sing It!
Again, And Again!


Rejoice! The Lord Is King!
The Devil's Days Are Numbered Few!
Our Sorrow Has Had Its Night Of Weeping
But, Praise God
The Morning Of Bliss
Is In Our Upward View!

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul
With All Your Being!
Salvation Is Coming On The Wing!
The Hosts Of Heaven Are Coming
AND
We Shall Be Celebrating Our Victory
With Our Glorious King!

Sin Death Hell And Satan
Are Already Defeated
So
Walk Firmly As One Taking The Victory Lap!
Walk Boldly As One Beckoned
To The Glorious King's Presence
ACKNOWLEDGING
That Our Victory Is Of The Holy God!



Give Nothing To Satan
That Condemned
And
Damned
Prosperity-Benighting
Fraud!
