Be Mindful To Get Rid Of The Froward Heart!

To Have A Froward Heart 

Is 

To Be Habitually Disposed ... Given Over

To Disobedience And Opposition! 

Beloved, 

Why Would Anybody Calling Themselves 

A Committed To Christ Christian 

Want To Be Labeled An Abomination 

In The Eyes Of Their Maker, God, And King 

When They Know What Opposing Almighty God 

Cost Lucifer And One-Third Of The Heavenly Host 

And

What Disobedience Cost Adam And Eve 

And, By Extension, All Of Mankind!?!

Dear Ones, 

Whether A Rebel With A Cause

Or An Opposer For Opposing's Sake

Or To Avoid Being Called Goody Two Shoes

When We Know Better We Must Avidly Seek To Do Better 

Because 

Dire, Deadly, On Up To Damnable 

Are The Known And Noted Consequences! 

In The Old Days

When One Was Known For Flapping Their Yak 

Without Reason Or Invitation

People Would Call Them A Foreign Radio Station 

For Being Where They Shouldn't Be! 

The Lord Of Life

Personally

Knows All Of His People! 

We Are Of The Household Of Faith

And 

We Should Be Learning ... And Knowing 

How To Comport Ourselves 

As Upright, God-Fearing, Humble

Obedient Children Of The Father! 

Let Us Remember Whose We Are 

And 

Be Mindful To Behave 

As The Name We Bear Commands! 

Be Humble And Holy To Reach Home! 

Delight The Lord! 

Peace! 

It's A Blessing To Depend Upon Our Father God!

Remind Yourself ...

Independent ... And Still A Runt ... Weak! 

Stunted, Under-Developed ... And Still Fronting! 

How Often Have You Confidently Said That 

You Knew That You Could Depend On Someone To Pamper You 

So That You Could Pridefully Swan About

Aka Glide About Poised And Confident!?! 

Did You Reap The Expected Gain!?! 

Would You Do It Again!?! 

Do You  Understand That Your Gamble On Frail Flesh 

Is 

Always In Vain!?! 

Beloved, 

Remember The Proud Creature Who Thought That 

He Could Run His Life Better Than His Creator Could 

And

Determined That His Self-Serving System Of Governance 

Was Better Than The Unselfish One Set Forth By Almighty God! 

Dear Ones, 

Blinkers Are Placed On Beasts Of Burden 

To Stop Them From Being Distracted 

And 

To Keep Them Focused On Their Scheduled Work! 

We Are Not Beasts: 

Dare To See! 

For Whom

By What Means

And 

For What Purpose 

Have You Declared Your Independence From The Lord!?! 

What Have You Got To Show 

For Unwisely Walking As A Wastrel, A Prodigal

On The Wild Side Of Life!?! 

All Of Us Have ... At One Point Or Another 

Chosen To Be Professor And Student 

In The Self-Directed Program Called Self-Centeredness 

For Which An Honor's Degree In Hard Knocks Was Issued! 

Let's Wise Up Today 

And 

Return To Our Father's House Of Love 

Because 

We Finally Recognize That 

We Cannot Even Walk Without Him Holding Our Hand! 

It's A Blessing To Depend Upon Our Father! 

Please Don't Let Pride Rob You: 

Choose The Eternal Inheritance Over Temporary Independence! 

Peace!

Choose To Receive The Truth With Gladness!

Why Would You Celebrate A Lie!?! 

Why Would You Denounce The Truth!?! 

Does Any Of This Really Matter!?! 

Beloved, 

Along With Envy, Covetousness, And Greed

Lying Got Lucifer Kicked Out Of Heaven 

And 

Keeps Him From Ever Entering Therein Again! 

Heeding A Lie Got Adam And Eve Kicked Out Of 

The Garden Of Eden  

And 

Having Received The Truth With Gladness 

Will See Them Enter The Heavenly Canaan! 

Lies Cost Our Savior Jesus Christ His Life 

On The Cross Of Calvary! 

Being The Truth 

Has Our King Jesus Christ Interceding For Us

As High Priest

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

Lying About Knowing Jesus Christ

Resulted In Disciple Peter Having To Weep Bitterly 

With Unnecessary Sorrow! 

Standing In And For The Truth 

Has the Converted Apostle Peter's Name Immortalized 

On One Of The Foundations Of The Eternal City! 

Lying To The Holy Spirit 

Cost Ananias And Sapphira Their Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Has Made It Plain That 

Anyone Who Loves And Makes Lies 

Aka Who Enjoys Cooking Up Lies

Lying, And Distributing Lies 

Will Have No Part In The City Of God 

And 

Its Obligatory Blessings! 

We, By Nature, Are All Liars! 

Let Us Humbly Confess And Repent Of 

Our Sin Against Almighty God's Holiness 

And

By Faithful Obedience To The Truth

Walk In The Newness Of Life In Christ

Innocent Of Any Transgression! 

We Are Nearing Home! 

Get Ready! 

Peace!   

Humble-Pride!?! Prideful-Humility!?!

There Can Be No Pride 

When We Are Praying To Or Praising The Lord God Almighty! 

Beloved, 

When We Approach The Throne Of Grace

It Is For A Purpose Which Should In All Aspects 

Please Our Creator 

And

Should Ever Be For His Glory And Our Good! 

Can You See Why The Lord Accepted The Prayer Of 

The Publican Who Recognized His Wretched Condition 

And 

Saw His Great Need For 

The Mercy, The Saving Grace, Of The Eternal God 

But

Summarily Rejected The Pompous, Privileged

Posturing Pronouncements Of The Prideful Pharisee 

Who Behaved As Though He Was Doing The Living God A Favor 

By Cataloging His "Virtues" 

In That Very Public Sphere For The World To Hear!?! 

Dear Ones, 

If There Is Even The Mildest Stench Of Pride In Our Prayers

We Have Got Ourselves A Problump 

Aka A Problem Which Will Cause Us To Be Lumped With The Proud

Disobedient, Unrepentant Workers Of Iniquity! 

Let's Make It A Point 

To Ever Remember To Humble Ourselves 

And

Pray 

And

Seek The Lord's Face ... His Presence! 

Pride Got Lucifer Evicted From Heaven: 

Pride Will Keep Us From Entering! 

Please Remember Also That 

There Is No Such Thing As Humble-Pride Or Prideful-Humility! 

There Are No Two-Color Saints' Robes: 

The Robe Of Righteousness 

Is

Clean And White Linen! 

Please Make A Note 

And 

Behave According To Your Preferred Eternal Destination's 

Code Of Conduct! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Test Of Faith!

Obedience Tests Our Faith

Our Willingness To Wait Upon 

And

Do The Will Of The Eternal God! 

Obedience Also Tests Whether Or Not 

We Are Truly Abiding In The Holy Faith

The Truth That Saves! 

Beloved, 

We Worship The King Of Glory

And 

Strict Obedience To His Will

To Walk In His Ways

Determines Our Allegiance To Him 

And 

His Throne ... His Kingdom! 

Lucifer Wanted The King Of Glory ... His Creator

To Be Subject To Him: 

This Is What Being Delusional Looks Like!  

We Must ... As Hopeful Citizens Of The Living Kingdom

Stand Firmly In The Faith That Cannot Fail 

Knowing That Our Unflinching Obedience 

And

Endurance Will Be Rewarded

Because 

Our God Is True To His Word 

Because

He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie

Nor The Son Of Man That He Should Repent 

Aka Be Sorry For Wrong-Doing! 

Dear Ones, 

Obedience From Us To Our Lord Jesus 

Speaks Squarely To Our Willingness To Follow 

The Will Of Him Who Made, Sustains, Maintains

Justifies, Sanctifies

And 

Ultimately Redeems Us 

In The Flesh 

On The Great And Glorious Day! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Understand That Obedience In The Lord's Children 

Is 

Neither A Small Matter

Nor A Matter For Derision! 

Full Aka Strict Obedience 

Is 

A Matter Of Life And Death

Eternal Life With Or Eternal Separation From 

The Life-Giver! 

Be Wise ... 

Please Choose To Live An Obedient Life 

In Jesus Christ The Lord

Who, Alone, Saves And Seals!

Peace!

GUARD YOUR HEART: Demons Inhabit People And Animals!

There's A Reason That We Are Told To Guard Our Hearts 

And 

Choose To Do Right 

To Prevent Sin From Knocking At Our Door 

And 

Taking Up Head-Of-Household Residence ... No Invitation Extended! 

There's A Reason That Self-Control 

Is

One Of The Fruits Of The Holy Spirit! 

There's A Reason 

Why Lucifer Was Permanently Cast Out Of Heaven: 

The Great Physician-Offered 

And 

Proud-Patient-Refused Necessary Surgery 

For A Soul-Destroying Heart Condition! 

Beloved, 

Lucifer's Refusal To Yield 

And 

Let The Great Physician Fix His Heart 

Led To War In Heaven 

Which Caused Lucifer To Lose His Once-Good Name 

Which Caused A Required Name Change To Satan 

Nka Adversary Of Souls

Accuser Of The Brethren

Piercing Serpent

Roaring Lion

Dragon

Beelzebub - Lord Of Dung

And 

A Permanent Change Of Address 

Plus 

Condemnation And Damnation 

With A Certainty Of Destruction 

Aka Eternal Separation From Eternal Light 

And 

Everlasting Life! 

Dear Ones, 

Man-Made Means Cannot Fix A Spiritual Problem 

And 

It Is With Reason That We Are Told That 

Pride Goes Before The Fall! 

We Are Spiritually And Physically Nearing Home 

And 

Demonic Warfare Is Waging

And 

Will Be Waged In The Open Just As It Was 

When Our Lord Jesus Came To Seek And Save The Lost! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Take Heed To The Gospel Of Grace 

If You Desire To Live In The Kingdom Of Glory! 

Demons Inhabit People And Animals

And 

Oppress The People Of God 

And

Are Very Likely Operating Near You! 

Satan Appears As An Angel Of Light: 

His Heart Ain't Right With God! 

Do The Math! 

Lean On, Love, Jesus: 

Pray: 

Obey! 

May The Lord Of Life Grant You His Peace!

Trust The Living Word: Put Satan On Trial!

Whether We Choose To Believe It Or Not

We Have An Unreliable Narrator In The Person Of Satan

The Devil

The Dragon

The Piercing Serpent Aka The God-Fraud! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise ... For Your Own Self! 

Satan Tells All Willing To Hear Him 

That The Living God Is Unfair

That There Is No Victory Over Sin

That The Lord Will Save All Human Beings

That Dead People Watch Over And Talk To The Living

That Sunday Is Sacred

That Man Is ImmortalThat There Is No Devil And No Hell

And 

That There Is No Need To Grow In Grace 

Because 

We Will Be Sinners Until The Day We Physically Die

And 

That A "Little Creature" Called A Soul 

Jumps Out Of The Then-Dead Body 

And 

Floats Up To Heaven 

To Direct Almighty God's Traffic Up There 

For The Benefit Of The Gullible Down Here! 

Let's Get Real! 

Lucifer Nka Satan Got Thrown Out Of Heaven, For Cause

So He Has A Hidden Agenda! 

The Lord Christ 

Is 

In Heaven 

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary

Interceding For His People

And 

His Plan Of Salvation For Us 

Is 

Open And On Public Display

And 

Is Actively Working! 

Who Are You Going To Believe!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Discovery 

Is 

Always Big Doings In Every Court Case! 

Dare To Put Satan On Trial 

Via The Living Word Of God Your Creator 

And 

See Whose Words And Works Are Reliable Aka Trustworthy! 

The Truth ... Jesus Christ The Lord ... Was Executed 

And 

Still Lives! 

Do The Math! 

Peace!

The God Who Cannot Lie Or Change!

 

Willful And Own-Way Was A Serious Indictment 

Against One's Character In The Old Days 

But 

It Is Somehow Elevated To A Badge Of Honor 

In These Times Where Participation Trophies

Aka Show Up And Do Nothing

Are A Thing! 

Beloved, 

As Committed Christians

We Cannot Walk Willfully And Unwisely Aka "Doing You!" 

And 

Really Expect The Great God Who Inhabits Glory 

To Pleasurably Say: 

"Good One, Bucko! 

You Didn't Make My Mark 

But At Least You Were On The Planet! 

Come On Up Here 

And Make Everybody Miserable With Your Bad Attitude

Constant Complaining

And Bold Challenging Of My Sovereign Will 

Which Was For Your Safety And Eternal Security!"

"I Cast Lucifer Out For Pride, Lies, Willfulness

Envy, Deceit, Greed, Disobedience

False Worship, Dissension, Warmongering

And Hatred Of My Only Begotten Son ... Your Only Savior

But I'll Let You Into My Fiery Presence 

Where Sin And Sinners Cannot Exist 

Just Because You Were Made In Our Image 

And After Our Likeness 

And Despite The Fact That 

You Despised My Son's Personal Sacrifice 

To Personally Save You 

To Give You A Future, A Hope, And An Expected End

Which You Rejected 

While Diligently Following After Satan 

Our Sworn Enemy ... And Yours

Who Maliciously Engineered Mankind's Downfall 

By Deceiving Eve 

Who Encouraged Adam 

Who, For His Love To Her, Chose To Indulge 

Willful Disobedience!"

"I Am The God Who Cannot Lie Or Change 

But For You, Whatever! 

Enjoy The Eats And Treats!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Ain't Never Gonna Happen

So Let Us Let Almighty God's Will 

Be Our Chosen Way Of Life!

Let Us Straighten Up And Walk Right

And

Be To The Eternal God A Pleasure And A Delight

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The King

Our Lord, God, Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend

The Judge Of All Flesh!

We Will Be Forever Blessed! 

Peace!

YOLO Is A Rabbit-Hole To Sure Destruction!

If We Would Choose To See 

And

Recognize Our Value 

Through The Eyes Of The Living God

We Would Never Use The Expression 

YOLO Aka "You Only Live Once!" 

To Encourage Ourselves And Others 

To Live In The Realm Of Sense And Self 

Which Is The Rabbit-Hole To Sure Destruction! 

Look At Lucifer The Light-Bearer: 

Behold Satan, The Adversary ... The Damned! 

Beloved, 

Living For Self And By Sense 

Is 

To Live The Life Of A Drug Addict 

Who Must Get A Fix Of More And Stronger 

To Attain Minimal Satisfaction! 

Drug Use Starts Cheap To Get You Hooked 

And 

Then Costs Everything Up To And Including One's Liberty 

And 

Life! 

Dear Ones, 

There's A Better Way: 

A Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ

A Life Lived On The Upward Way That Leads To Beulah Land 

Where One Lives Eternally! 

To Get There

Change Must Start Here! 

We Must Discard The Old Man, That Sinful Self

And 

We Must Put On Christ

Our Creator Who Made And Remakes Us

Our Savior Who Died So That We, Willing, May Live Again

And 

Our Redeemer Who Bought Us Back From Sure Damnation 

And

Invites Us To Embrace Sure Salvation! 

What A Gift! 

We Have Today ... A Present! 

Unwrap Your Gift! 

It's Priceless! 

Peace!

Pride Is Poison + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves!

It Is Significant To See Righteousness And Unrighteousness

Faithfulness And Faithlessness 

And 

Pride And Humility 

So Starkly Compared And Contrasted! 

Beloved, 

We Are To Live By Faith 

While Lovingly Humbling Ourselves Before The Lord Christ 

Who Will Lift Us Up In His Day Of Appointment 

Just As He Lifted Up Jacob, Joseph, Job, And Moses! 

We Are Not To Lift Up Ourselves 

In Pride And With Arrogance Like Lucifer: 

It Didn't Work Out For Him 

And

It Will Not Work Out For Us! 

We Love To Say With The Worldly-Wise That 

Man Appoints And God Disappoints 

But 

If We Look Closer

We Will Clearly See What Manner Of Defeat, Disaster

Destruction, And Deviltry Exists 

When Man Appoints Man

And 

Man Anoints Self! 

The Humble, Faithful, Servant Of God

Is

Always A Blessing To Mankind!

Pride Is Poison 

And 

Self-Aggrandizement Is Terminal Disease 

And

Neither Has A Place In The Heart Of 

The Committed-To- Christ Christian! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Lifting Up We Should Be Doing 

Is 

Lifting Up Our Souls To The Lord

Lifting Up Our Hands In Worship And Praise

Lifting Up Our Brethren

And 

Lifting Up Our Bibles And Our Spoons 

As They Convey To Our Bodies 

Our Very Necessary Daily Food! 

Pride Decimates! 

Faith Elevates 

And 

Humility Opens The Flood-Gates Of Blessing! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

Please Help Us Today

To Humble Ourselves Before You On Earth

Your Footstool

So That You Will Lift Us Up To Heaven

Your Throne

On The Glad Day That You Have Set! 

Amen!!! 

SELFLESSNESS: I-Statements From The Lord Jesus Christ!

There Is A Stark Difference Between 

The I-Statements Uttered Here By Our God Almighty 

And 

Those Uttered By Lucifer 

Prior To His Being Expelled, For Cause, From Heaven's Portals! 

Beloved, 

Our Dear Jesus Has Here Uttered Five I-Statements 

Which All Pertain To His Blessings Given For Our Benefit! 

All Of Lucifer's I-Statements Were To Himself

Benefiting Himself 

And 

For The Destruction Of The Almighty! 

Lucifer Took Then

And 

Now As Satan, The Adversary, Still Takes 

But

No Surprise

It Has Not Accrued To His Benefit! 

It Pays To Know Your Maker 

And

Profits To Live By His Will 

And 

According To His Ways! 

Our Dear Savior Gave

Is Giving

And 

Will Continue Giving To Us For All Eternity! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is A Magnificent Lesson To Be Learnt

If 

We Are Willing To Learn It:

 

Love, Goodness

Kindness, Giving

Selflessness

And 

Practicing Peace Over Passion And Pride 

Will Always Be Their Own Reward! 

As We Daily Choose To Blissfully Live 

By Grace Through Faith

In The Blessed Light Of The Truth 

Which Leads To Everlasting Life 

We Will Be Changing Into The Likeness Of Him 

Who Is The King Of Love!  

Love Gives! 

We Are Headed Home Where Satan Cannot Trespass: 

Don't Let Him Derail Your Journey To Joy! 

Let Us Wisely Follow Our Lord's Commands 

To Not Be Fearful Or Be Dismayed

And 

Gratefully Claim His Promises Given! 

Doubting Decimates: 

The Obedience Of Faith Frees! 

The Lord Is The Strength Of Our Lives: 

Trust Him And Believe! 

Peace!

TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS: SIN ... self ... SALVATION

If Your Heart 

Is 

Running On The Fuel Self-Willed

Please Rest Assured That 

You Have Already Surrendered Your Self-Control 

To That Fallen Angel, Lucifer Nka Satan

Who Built His Condemned And Damned Kingdom 

On Self-Righteousness! 

If All The Lights In The Room 

Are Spot-Lights Focused On You 

And

All The Words Spoken Are High-Notes For You 

And 

No Notes For The Surrounding Few

You May Want To Take A Good Look 

In The Only Disclosing Mirror Around 

Aka The Good Book Of Almighty God's Wisdom 

Where Saving Truth 

Is 

Readily Available To Be Found! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful When Your Actions 

Are Niceties And Goodies For You Alone 

And

What's Left Are Groans And Nasties 

For Everybody Else! 

Be Warned ...

Satan Built What Cannot Stand 

By "Destroying" What Cannot Fall 

And

By Way Of Necessary Warning

We Would All Do Well To Wisely Remember That 

Heel-Biters Get Crushed Heads! 

The Dead Can't Kill The Living 

And

The Living Can't Raise The Dead 

So Let's Draw Near To The Savior

- The Only One Who Is The Lord Of Life -

To Fix Us So That By Becoming Righteous As He Is

- By Faith -

We May Inherit His Eternal Life! 

Homework ...

Jesus Christ Saves Sinners From Sin! 

Self Is A Willing Sinner! 

Sin Cannot Cure Itself!

Do The Math: It's Easy! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + "I AM SORRY!" WORKS: Get Rid Of The Blame Game!

There's A Major Difference Between 

Forgiving Someone Who Hurt You 

And

Taking Responsibility For Someone Hurting You 

Because

Well, You Were There In The Relationship 

And

Available To Be Hurt 

So, Tough Luck, You Were Hurt!

You Are In A Relationship With Christ Jesus:

Is He Responsible For Your Deliberately Defiant

"I Will Say He Was Present And 'Helped' Me To Sin!"

After He Already Paid For All Your Sin

On The Cross Of Calvary

And

Gave You The Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day

Free-Will and Freedom To Choose

The Will To Do His Good Pleasure

And

The Longing To Do The Good And The  Right!?! 

Isn't It Amazing How The Holy Word Of God Gets Twisted 

To Absolve Disobedient People From Taking Responsibility 

For Their Own Wicked Behavior!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer 

Took The Blame For Our Personal Sins

- Which He Did Not Commit - 

So That By His Innocence Taking Our Guilt 

We May Be Justified Aka Made Right

- With Confession And Repentance - 

When We Are Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

And

Over A Lifetime Of Obedience, Trust

And 

Enduring Faithfulness

Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 

For Holy Use By Our God! 

What Is Your Heartfelt Confession

And

Repentance For Known Sin Worth!?!

Did You Lie When You Took Jesus Christ

As Your Personal Savior, Lord, God, And King!?!

Lucifer Blamed Almighty God 

For Not Allowing Him Into The Counsels Of 

The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit 

And Thus 

Causing The War In Heaven 

And 

The Death Of His Son, Jesus! 

Satan Is Still Using This Nasty Trick Against Us Today 

And 

He Is More Often Than Not Winning This High Stakes Game! 

Please Don't Fall For Folly!

We Serve The God Who Sees Everything

The God Who Knows Everything

The God Who Feels Everything

The God Who Is Always Present

The God Who Is Eternal

The God Who Is Not Mocked

The God Who Is Not A Liar

The God Who Is Righteous

The God Who Pays

What

Each

Person

Is

Owed

For The Work He Diligently Performed!

 

We Are Each Responsible For Our Own Wickedness 

So Don't Even Blame Satan: 

He Can't Make You Do Anything! 

And

Don't Blame The Living God: 

Jesus Christ Already Paid Your Bill 

So Take The Gift! 

Do Right! 

If You Don't Confess

And

If You Don't Repent

You Are On Your Own

Before The Judge Of All Flesh!

Our Lying Lusting 

Is 

Like A Locked Vice-Grip: 

Lose The Lust 

And 

Get Rid Of The Blame Game! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Saves: 

"I Am Sorry!"

Works 24/7!
