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: 

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!
