No Stuff Can Enter The City Of Almighty God!

It is With A Sincere Heart That 

I Pray That Each One Of Us 

Comes To Truly Realize How Special

- How Unique - 

We Are To The Living God! 

There Is No One Else On This Earth

 Who Is As You Are! 

The Gifts That The Lord Has For You, Personally

He Will Not Give To Another Soul 

Even If You Were To Deny Him 

And 

Reject His Gifts Of Love! 

If You Choose To Refuse To Accept 

Jesus Christ's Gift To You Of His Free Salvation 

And 

By So Doing Never Reach The Eternal City

Your Absence Will Be Keenly Felt 

Because 

No One Else Can Take Your Place! 

Lot's Wife ... Against Warning ... And Common-Sense

Looked Back Both In Her Heart And Physically

And 

Lost The Things She Lusted For 

And 

Her Precious Life And Promised Future: 

Jesus Christ Will Be Her Judge

And Not 

Her Welcoming King

Because 

Her Stuff Was Worth More To Her Than Her Life! 

Beloved, 

Always Remember That

You Need A Life To Live To Be Able To Get Stuff 

But

Having A Boatload Of Stuff 

Will Never Get You Eternal Life! 

Jesus Christ Desires Your Personal Presence 

In His Holy House 

And 

He Sacrificed Himself To Make That Possible! 

Please Do Not Neglect So Great A Salvation: 

There Is No Escaping The Day Of Judgment! 

Please Choose Eternal Life 

And 

Live Now As One Greatly Loved 

And 

Abundantly Blessed By Our Almighty God! 

Choose To Remember That Your Father 

Is 

The King Of Love 

And 

Never, Ever, Forget That

You ... Individually ... Are In His Heart 

And 

Your Name Is Permanently

Perfectly Engraved 

In Our Dear Savior's Hand! 

Please Pursue Peace With The Lord Most High!

HAPPY SABBATH + God's Gifts Are Eternal!

 

When Someone Leaves Something That 

You Desperately Need In Your Hot Hand

You Gratefully, Eagerly

Gladly Close Your Hand Tightly Over It

And 

Seal It In A Death Grip That 

No One This Side Of Glory Can Unclasp! 

Beloved, 

This Is How We Must Interact 

With Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Peace 

Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ Gives The Peace! 

We, Believers In Jesus, Death-Grip The Perfect Peace 

And 

No Damned Devil

Nor Self-Deceived Minion

Nor Demon-Inspired Heathen 

Or Hellion On Satan's "Payroll" 

And 

Known Bound For The Fire And Brimstone Bath

Can Get Peace Even Out Of Your Then-Cold-By-Death Grip! 

What Christ Gives 

Is 

Our Own To Have

And 

To Hold Now

And 

Even Forevermore! 

Jesus Christ ... The Lord ... The King 

Doesn't Take Back His Gifts From Us! 

We, Unbelieving, Doubting, Distrusting

Beguiled Aka Fooled, Tricked

By Wandering Eyes And Affections

Throw Back .. Throw Away ... The Heavenly Gifts 

Into The Lord's Dear Face 

And

Then Suffer Horribly, Unnecessarily, For Our Folly: 

Some People Die In Or For Their Folly! 

Remember, Beloved

Almighty God Is True ... The Truth

And 

All Human Beings 

And 

All Fallen Angels 

Are Known And Bold Liars! 

Dare To Know The Truth That Sets You Free

And 

Choose 

To Be Perfectly Peaceful 

In Christ's Precious Peace

That Is His Personal Gift To You Personally!

Don't Be Like Lot's Wife!

Don't Despise

The Gifts Of Almighty God!

Christians Indulging In Witchcraft!?!

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled!
Ye Believe In God: Believe Also In Me!

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Neither Let It Be Afraid

Because

Blessed Is The Man That Feareth The Lord
That Heareth And Doeth The Word Of The Lord

That Walketh Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly
That Trusteth In The Lord

That Endureth Temptation

That Believeth The Lord Without Seeing The Lord

And

Blessed Is The Man In Whom The Lord Imputeth Not Sin!

The Blessings Of The Living God
Make Fallen But Repentant Man Rich
And
He Adds No Sorrow To It!

Think About This Scenario
And
Then See Yourself In Relation To It:

You Are An Impressionable Child!
Your Misbehave Often And Lie Regularly!
You Also Refuse Correction
And
You Stop Your Ears From Hearing ... At Will!
Your Parent Is Loving, Giving, Forgiving, And Kind ... Always!
Your Parent Has Told You Of ... And Written
And 
Modeled His Rules For You!

You Intimately Know The Rules!

Do Good ... And Be Blessed Always!
Transgress ... And After Upbraiding And Rebuke
Chastening Aka Punishment Follows For Repeated Misconduct
Because
You Are Loved
And
You Are Not A Bastard!
You Are A Lawful Child Of The Great King!

In Your Possession, You Have A Golden Cup!
You May Fill Up Your Cup As You See Fit
Because
Your Loving Parent Has Given You Free Will And Choice!
If You Fill Your Cup With Blessings, It Will Overflow!
If You Fill Your Cup With Planned Sin Aka Iniquity
When It Is Filled To The Brim
The Day Of Reckoning Shall Take Place
And
Your Account Aka Your Access To Your Father
Will Be Closed ... Terminated
Finished
Sealed
Rendered Unchangeable
Fixed ... For Eternity!

The Decisions You Make Are Personally Your Own
Because
There Is Nobody ... Not Even Your Loving Father
That Can Force You To Do Anything Against Your Will!

You Have A Bitter, Raging, Adversary!

Satan 
Is 
Your Sworn Enemy!
He Despises You 
Because 
You Are Loved, Kept And Protected By Jesus Christ!
Satan Hates You But Pretends To Be Your Friend!
Satan Does Everything Possible To Cause You To Disobey!
Satan Places Temptation In Your Way At Every Turn!
Satan Wants You To Fall Just As He Has!
Satan Practices Lies And Deceit!
Satan Desires Your Permanent Destruction!
Satan Is Not Omnipotent!
Satan Wants You To Totally Doubt Jesus Christ
Your Only Link To Your Father!
Satan Has Deceived You ... Often
And
You Known It Well!
You Are Acting Dense Because You Are Willful
And
Wayward
And
Own-Way
And
Your Heart And Head Are Getting Hard!

Guard Your Heart!

Protect Your Head!

Satan

Wants You To Disobey Your Father

And He Would Force Your Hand

If He Could ... But He Can't!

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Your Only True Friend And Savior!
Jesus Christ Is Also Your Creator And Redeemer!
He Is Also Your Only Provider!
He Has Your Bests Interest At Heart
And
He Sacrificially Loves You!

Jesus Christ Is Omnipotent
And
He Provides A Way Of Escape From Temptation For You!
Jesus Christ Asks You To Trust Him Wholly!
Jesus Christ Is, And Only Speaks, Truth
And
You Have Consistently Proved Him To Be Faithful!
He Is Always At Your Father's Right Hand!

Your Loving Father

Desires Your Love

And He Could Force You To Obey Him

... But He Won't!

Love Generates Willing Obedience!

Man, I Could Write, Direct, Produce
And Star In And Advertise This "Movie!"

You'd Have To Fight Me For Distribution Rights!

I'm Collecting Residuals For My Best Actor Performance!

Brethren,

We've All Been There And Done That
But
It Is Time For Us To Up Our "I Obey My Father!" Game
Because
There Is No Profit ... Neither Small Nor Great
That Comes From Disobeying Our Father, The Almighty God!

To Put Hard Icing On This Sponge Cake
I Have Three Little Words Times Two 
For Us All:

Remember Lot's Wife!

Remember King Saul!

King Saul

Should Have Remembered

Lot's Wife!

Disobedience Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft!
King Saul Had An Ear Problem
And
For Being Chronically Disobedient
He Was Tormented By Evil Spirits!

He Rejected The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And 
Chose That Other Spirit By Disobedience
And
Instead Of Confessing And Repenting To The Lord
For His Known Presumptuous Sin
He Severed, Forever, His Connection To God 
By Consulting A Condemned Witch 
Who Was Possessed By Evil Spirits ... Fallen Angels 
Those Malevolent And Powerful Beings
Who Work Assiduously To Cause Our Destruction
Our Damnation! 

All I Am Asking Us All To Do, Brethren
In Order To Not End Up Like Mrs. Lot And King Saul
Is
Look At And Despise Your Sin
Kneel Before The Lord
Lay Your Sin On The Altar Of Sacrifice
Reach For The Hand Of Hope And Help
Confess And Repent Of Your Sin
And 
Accept Jesus Christ's Forgiveness 
And 
Cleansing! 

You'll Never See The Father In Peace

Without It!

Remember, Brethren
All Witches Burn
And
All Enduring Saints Soar! 

Disobedience Costs

And

Continual Disobedience

Will Ultimately Cost Twice

Because

It Leads Man To Play With Demons

In Satan's Rancid Playground!

Obedience Pays ... Twice:

Spiritual Peace

And

Physical Happiness Now

And

Eternal Life And Peace Hereafter!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: New Life Is Up Ahead + PRAYER: Bless Me, Lord To Live...!

I Don't Want To Be A Lot's Wife!
I Don't Want To Be A Mrs. Job!
I Don't Want To Be A Sapphira
AND
I Don't Want To Be A Laodicean Bold!

Lot's Wife Looked Back
At The Perishables
Perishing
AND

Lost 

New Life Up Ahead!

Mrs. Job Doubted God's Favor
AND

Wanted Her Husband
The Giving God To Curse
So That God Would Strike Him Down Dead!

Sapphira
- With Her Husband -
Lied To The Holy Spirit
AND
Reached Their Life's Limit
And
Were Carried To Their Long Homes
Foot First!

There Was No Hearse!

Oh, Lord
Save Us From The Curse!

I Don't Want To Be Like
Murdering, Lying Cain
Man-Hunting, God-Not-Fearing Nimrod
Nor
Wilfully, Presumptuous

Killing-The-Innocent Saul
Nor
Joseph's 10 Brethren
Envious
Before They Sought
Life-Preserving Grain!

These Men Tried To Mimic Cain!

Nor Do I Desire To Be 

Jacob
- Living Cunning -
Before He Reached Beth-El
Nor Laban
Who Thought
He Could Curse Who God Blessed
Nor Nebuchadnezzar
Before God's Holy Name He Confessed!

I Desire To Be A Rahab
Who
- Though A Practicing, Willing, Sinner -
Heard The Word About Lord
AND

While Having No Personal Experience Of Said God
Believed The Tidings
AND

Sought The New Life Award!

I Desire To Be 

A Repentant David
A Self-Denying Moses
A Faithful Samuel
A Trusting Joshua
A Believing Nehemiah
A Good King Josiah
And
Not A Black-Hearted Jezebel
But
A Fired-Up-For-God Elijah
A Lamenting Jeremiah
AND
An Obedient-In-The-Face-Of-Real-Shame Hosea
Trusting God Ever
Over Self
AND

Walking With
Talking About
Leaning Upon
Loving Unreservedly
Looking Unweariedly
To Be With The Lord!

PRAYER:

Father,

Let Your Truth

In My Inward Parts

Be Visible In My Extremities!

Let Your Love In Me Bear Fruit

So That From Me

A Basket Of Blessings

To Others May

Will Go

Shouting The Glad News:

"Jesus Christ Saves!"

Working To Help Remove

Even The Most Gross Sinner

From

In

And

Around

Satan's Household

No More To Be A Chained Slave!

Lord,

I Trust You In My Little Strength - 

Help Me To Trust You In Yours

Always

And

Surely

In The Dark Days

Up Ahead

When Faith Is Tried

And

Woes Are Constant By My Side!

Help Me, Lord

 To Bless You

And

To Hold On To You

On Those Days When

Wilful Self Would Cause Wavering Faith

To Be Denied!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Be Driven And Tossed

As Wave Of The Sea

For, Truly

I Desire To Receive

Glorious Blessings Of Thee!

Help Me To Hold On To You

When Carnal Life

- Acting As Satan's Paid Agent -

Demands

That You Must Be

- By Needy Flesh -

Decried

Because You To Me

- About The Peaceful Life - 

Lied!

Help Me To Hold Firm The Blessed Hope

- Christ In Me My Hope Of Glory -

For Heaven's Glories Await

All

Who To The Lord Christ

Remain Faithful!

Lord, 

Help Me To Stay Prayed Up

Bound Up

And

Sealed Up

In Salvation's Protective Cloak

So That I Will Not Be Drawn Away

To Wear

Satan's Rainbow-Styled Yoke!

Lord,

I Pray With Passion

For The Counterfeiter's Days

To Come To Their Just End!

My Father,

I Give You

My Worship

Your Deserved Honor

And

My Faithful Praise

So

Please Bless Me To Live

In The True Light Of Heavenly Love

So That I Will Be Exalted To Inhabit

Eternity's Untimed

No Night

Unending Days

And

To Fix My Real Gaze

Upon My Savior's Beautiful Face!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name

I Plead For Blessings

Not Just For Myself

But Most Assuredly

For The Faithful Brethren!

AMEN.

Prayer: Grant Me The Mercy of Heaven!

Father, my heart is open to Your leading - grant me the mercy of Heaven!

Help me not to trust to, nor trust in, luck!

Help me Father to daily seek Your face 

as I travel along life’s pathways in this New Year.

Help me, Father, not to look with eyes of covetousness 

upon the dainties of those around me, for I do not know 

how the acquired their possessions, nor do I want to know, and

help me to stay contented with Your provision, whatever that may be.

Father, I ask for spiritual blinkers to be placed upon my eyes 

so that I can only see the straight path ahead, 

and help me to not yield to the temptations of the baubles and bounties 

of this dark world as they walk beside me to entice me from Your Light.

Even though I can’t store up earthly sustenance already utilized, 

help me to store Your spiritual food deep in my heart 

against the dark days that shall soon befall all men. 

Father, I am weak! 

Help me to be strong by, and in, Your Light for You say in Your word that 

Your strength is made perfect in weakness!

Father, I ask You to forgive me my sins,  

those I have remembered and confessed, 

and those long-forgotten and unconfessed sins, 

and I beseech You to help me to forgive myself,

 and to walk ever forward in faith. 

Today, Lord, I lay me down on the altar of sacrifice 

and I ask Your acceptance of my offering 

for Jesus' blood has made me clean.

I thank You for the many blessings 

You have already bestowed upon me, Lord, 

those seen and unseen, 

those known and unknown, 

those unexpected, and those unappreciated, 

and I earnestly pray for the soon coming of our Lord, Christ.

Father, I beseech You, by Your Grace, and in mercy, 

to bless me time and again so that I may bless another. 

Help me not to be tight-fisted with Your bounty 

but to open my hand, and my heart, to truly bless others in word, and in deeds,

so that Your Name may be glorified.

Help me, Father, to contend valiantly for the Faith, 

and keep me on the straight and narrow way to Glory.

Through it all, Father, keep me from becoming like Lot's wife.

Help me, Lord, not to look back, 

neither literally, nor figuratively as in my heart for what was.
Help me to look to what is possible to a life lived in You.

Help me to trust You, and in You, especially when I can't see You.

Help me, Lord, to love even as Jesus loves, and please engender

within me an unquenchable longing for ... Home,

for I am a pilgrim, and a stranger, in this vale of tears.

Thank You, Father, for hearing and answering my prayer. 

I love You, Lord.

 AMEN
