Influence: Blessing And Cursing + PRAYER: Lord, Lift Us Up!






... No Matter How Dull Of Hearing
How Tone Deaf You Become
You Will Hear 
The Still Small Voice Of Almighty God Calling!
There Is No Place From It
That You May Run!

You ... By Personal Choice
- Exercising Free Will -
May The Entreaty Of The Holy Spirit
Boldly Refuse
BUT
There Is No Way That You May
Unchallenged
Say:

I Did Not Get The Intent

Because The Words Partially Heard

Left My Spirit
Just A Mite Confused!


You May Abuse Your Own Soul
AND
Aggravate Your Own Spirit
BUT
The Only Way The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Will Not Your Name Call
Is

If You Grieve Away That Great Spirit
By Plain Words
Clear Actions
Bold Blaspheming
AND
On The Great Liar
Avidly Leaning!

To Trust Satan
Is
To Doubt Aka Disbelieve
Distrust
The Creator!
This Is Dangerous Territory
AND
He Who Causes A Brother To Fall
Will Have To Give The Accounting
Unto The Vengeful Judge!

Simply Put ...

Faith Is For Those Who Choose
To Hope In The Merits
Of
The Lord Christ!

Doubt Is ... For Those Who Choose 
Not To Give Credence
To The Hope Of Belief
In The Lord Christ

AND
It Must Be Recognised That
Both Are Ably
Energetically
Assuredly Propelled
By Their Companions Of Influence
Who Either Laud Or Denigrate
The Power Of The Living Holy God Who Is
- Even Now -
In This Earth's Late Hour
Still In The Eternal Life Gift-Giving Business
AND
Offering Free-To-All Grace
Readily-Available Mercy
Sure-And-Assured Salvation
Relief From Sinning
AND
The Cold Grave's Permanent Release!

The Power Of Influence ...

Influence Matters!
Be It Good Or Bad
Influence Has The Power
To Cause One To Do Good
Walk Holy
AND
To Choose Life
OR
To Imbibe Evil
Consume Despair
Spin One's Wheels
In The Tortured Sea Of Churning Doubt
AND
Lie Upon A Bed Of Why-Bother Lettuce
Covered In A Cheap There-Is-No-God Vinaigrette
Served By The Damned Hand Of Satan
The Fraud
The Wannabe God!

Doubt Is Addicting!

Likewise Is Hope!

Belief Is Addicting!

So Is Despair!
So Is Ungodly Fear!
So Is The Call:


Let Us Almighty God Willfully Disobey!

Sooo ... We Have A Great Problem!

No, We Don't!
We Have A Great God
Who Has Already Defeated The Adversary
AND
Who Has Already Made Provision
For Those Who Choose
To Trust And Obey The Lord Christ
AND
To Look Up To The Holy Hill
- The Mount Of Our God -
The Unshakeable Mount Zion
AND
Not At The Lost Cause That Is The Flesh Pots
The Pleasure Palaces Of
The Condemned Valley Of
Modern-Day Sodom And Gomorrah!

I Like How You Align That
For One Simple Reason:

A Hill
A Mount
Must Be By Choice
- By Willing Effort -
Climbed
But The Valleys
The Flat Plains
Have No Such Requirement!

Walk Your Walk
And You'll Arrive At A Destination
Just Fine And On Time!

Indeed!
Note You Said At "A" Destination
Which Is Not Necessarily "The" Destination
You Will Have Chosen!

If You Just Continue ... 


  • Doing You
  • Doing Business As Usual
  • Ignoring The Fact That Salvation Requires Personal Change
  • Depending On Carnal Eyes
AND
  • Slavishly Following Sinful Self
AND 

  • Committedly Imbibing The Unprofitable Traditions Of Fallen Man

It Only Serves To Condemn One's Self
To Never Touching
The High Holy Eternal Loving Giving
Blessing Savior's Helpful
Healing Hand!

Brother,
That Is A Thought That My Heart Cannot Stand!
I Am Following My Jesus
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Man
Because It Is My Soul's Desire
To Live Forever With Him
In The Heavenly Land!

Brother,
Let Me Shake Your Hand!

We Are Following The Lord Jesus All The Way Home!

That, Brethren Beloved
Is
The Best Plan!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Hear This Our Prayer!
Bless Us, We Beseech You
To Use Our Influence
To Gain Friends For Christ Jesus
And
By Your Holy Spirit's Moving
Residents For The Courts Above!

Help Us To Be True
To Be Faithful
To Be Kind
And
Help Us Not To Cause Others
To Choose Not To Walk
On The Straight And Narrow Path
Because Our Influence
Is
Not Of The Kingdom Holy
Not Of The Realm
Of
The God Gracious And Divine!

Teach Us Your Ways
And
Help Us To Daily Walk In Them
And
Bless Us To Lift Up Jesus Christ
So That Others May See
That He Is The Truth
The Light
And
The Only Way To Eternal Life!

Lift Us Up, Father
So That We May Lift Up Others
Is Our Heart's Plea
Even As We Ask These Few Mercies
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
AMEN.

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!




"Tomorrow Is Not Promised!"
Is Daily
In Our Lives
Being Played Out
AND
It Really Shows To All
That Lust For Toys Power Fame Fun And Fortune
Are Not The Things
That We Should Slush Out!

Look Around!
Watch!
Pay Attention!
Do You Not See What Is Going On?
Are You Not Aware
That We Are In A Crisis
AND
That It Is The Living God
That We Should Hold In Fear!

See There ...

Daddies Sleeping With Their Babies!
Children Causing Their Parent's Demise
Mummy Killing Daddy Killing Mummy
Children Killing Children
Youth Committing Suicide
Alternative Lifestyles Are Normalized
Faith Is Fresh Bread For Sale
Truth Is Cast Down In The Street
Darkness Is Wearing A White Gown
Selfishness Is Blessed
Loving Is Loveless
Joy Is Happy Juice In A Jar
Grace Is A Prostitute
Mercy Is An Unpaid Servant
Happiness Is A Rotting Clam
Lawlessness Is Licensed Lawful
Honesty Is Attribute Awful
AND
Power-Hungry
Power-Mad
Power-Brokers
Are Flush With Success
From Mediaites Purveying Bold Programmatic Lies!

Where Is God?!
Is The Question Heard Often!
What God?!
Is The Question In Answer
To The Question Posed
AND
If You ... A Believer
Dare To State The Obvious
Then, My Friend
Look Out!
There Will Be Talk Of Sharing Blows!

I Caution You, Brethren ...

Doubt God
At The Cost Of Your Peace!
Deny God
At The Cost Of Your Rest!
Bless God
If
You Want Forgiveness
And
Sure Salvation
And
Praise Honor And Obey God
If
Your Desire Is
Heavenly Peace And Sweet Rest!

Do Not Follow The Multitude To Do Evil!
Do Not Follow The Crowd And Scoff!

I Encourage You, Brethren ...

Do Think For Your Self
AND
Call On The Master
For, Soon
He Is Coming For Those
Who Choose Him
So That They May Be Sheltered
Under His Wings
To Find And Know
True And Eternal Blessing
After Known Sin Is Confessed!

Pssst ...

Want The Eternal Reward?!
Then Know That
It Is Time To Ditch Satan
The Known Bold Fraud!

Now Is The Time
To Accept
And
Believe
The Living Word Of Truth!
Now Is The Time
To Bow Before
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Only Savior 
King
Lord And God!

HAPPY SABBATH + Great Deception Is Coming For You And For Me!








The First Great Deception
Will Be Repeated
In The Great Deception Called Last
AND
It Will Cover The Tests
That Eve And Adam Failed
BUT
Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ
Met And Passed!

Lust Of The Flesh
Lust Of The Eye
AND
The Pride Of Life
AKA
Appetite
Presumptuous Sin
AND
The Call To  False Worship
Are Going To Send Many Of Our Brethren
Into The Blackness Of Darkest Night!

If We Will To Overcome
We Must Do As Our Lord Christ Did
AND
Give To That Flying
Lying
Murdering Dragon, Satan
The Devil
The Prince Of The Power Of The Air
"Thus Saith The Lord ...! "
AND
Get Out Of There!

Never Try To Match Wits
With Those Subtle Of Tongue
Filled With Pride
Singing The Beautiful Siren Song
Questioning Presumptuously
If God Did Say! 

Turn Your Face To The Lord's Face
AND
Recognizing Your Present Need
Humbly
Fervently
Importunately Pray!

Jesus Christ Overcame
So That We May Overcome
AND
He Will Give To Us That Power
When We
Recognizing Our Need
AND
Declaring Our Need Of Him
Before The Holy God
In Total Surrender
Fall Down!

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Do Not Let Your Stomach
Your Eyes
Your Feelings
Write A Bearer-Check Your Person Can't Cash!

Please Do Not Let Presumption
Cause You With Sin To Madly Run Along! 

Do Not Let The Overwhelming Pageantry
In The False Worship
Cause You Before The Idol To Fall Down
For
All This Will Earn You
Is The King-Judge's
"I Don't Know You!
Depart From Me!"
Frown!

Walk In The Word
In The Light
In The Truth
In The Care Of
Jesus Christ The Lord
Even If 
You Walk Alone! 

Stand 
On The Word Of Jesus
Even If It As The New Born Lamb
Against A Rutting Goat Herd!

Trust 
In The Lord
Though You Knees Knock
AND
Your Poor Heart Trembles!

Keep
Your Eyes On Jesus Christ
AND
Come Sword Fire Gun Water
Boiling Oil Garrotte
Or Poison That Drinks Nice
In Jesus Christ
You Will Have Victory
AND
You Will Rise Up To Glory
At The Beginning Of The New Life!

You Will Reign
In God's Glory
If You Are A Recipient Of
The Former Rain
- The Dew
AND
The Latter Rain
- The Abundant Showers Of Blessing!


PRAYER:

Oh, Lord!

How Majestic Is Your Name In All The World!


Father,
We Come Humbly
Crying For Salvation
Denying The Gross Liar
Reaching For Our God
Appealing For The Grace
Purchased For Us
By The Spilt And Innocent Blood
Of Jesus Christ Our Lord!

Help Us, Lord
To Bare Our Souls To You
To Trust Our Hearts To You
To Give Our Lives To You
To Hope In You
For You Are God Eternal
Almighty
Faithful
Saving
Providing
Helping
Blessing
Always True!

Protect Our Minds
From The Onslaught Of Sin!
Protect Our Souls
Even If It Means Our Long Sleeping!
Grant Us Your Favor
Your Comfort
Your Peace
Your Rest
And Bless Us
Father To The Faithful
With The Walk
That Leads Us To Your Eternal Rest!

Remember The Brethren
On The Holy Sabbath Day
And
Grant Unto Each
The Promised Sabbath Blessing
As In Your Shade
We, In Praise
In Holy Worship
In Consuming Peace
Rest!

We Love You, Lord!
Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Us
For
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Call
We Come 
To Be Blessed!
AMEN.

Epic Treasure!


The Word For Thought
For Meditation 
Is From KJV Psalms 119
That Epic Treasure On
The Blessedness
The Value
The Veracity
The Longevity
The "Grace-Filled-Ness"
Of The Law, Precepts, Statues, Promises
AND
Covenants
Of The Living God!

Let's Look At Verse 41And Verse 42:

41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

Our God, The Eternal, Is Faithful! 
Trust His Word, And Be Forever Blessed!

Brethren,

This Is Truly A Good And Blessed Word 
For The Times In Which We Live!
This Is The Word For The Faithful
For
To Our Hearts
Great Comfort It Gives!

Did You Know That Mercy Walks
And Walks Specifically
Personally
Entreatingly
Unto You? Unto Me?
And That We Can Depend On That Mercy
Just Because
Almighty God Says So In His Word
Which Is A Transcript Of His Character
Which He Cannot Deny
Cannot Reject
Cannot Suspend
Cannot Take Offense At
Cannot Obliterate Or Render Void?!

Why Not?! He Is Almighty God, Isn't He?!

You Just Answered Your Own Question!

Huh?! How?!

Almighty God Is Not A Man
That He Should To His Children Lie!

God Himself Has Said:

His Word Is Settled
- It Has Its "Roots"
Its Foundation -
AND
Sealed
In Heaven!
Heaven Is God's Throne!

If You Can Unseat The Everlasting Father
From His Eternal Throne
Then, You
Able And Capable
Are ... GOD!

No Devil Damned 
Can Raze Almighty God's Foundation!

No Imposter-God
Can Unseal The Living God's Word ...!

You Just Said The Most Important Thing!
Our God Is Living
Not Like That False One
Who Is Known Dying Almost Dead
Soon To Be Burned
Never To Return!

Amen, Amen!

And For The Best Part  ...

Salvation Is A Mercy
AND
Our Sure Salvation IS Our Sword
Which Is Our Answer ...!

... Our Necessary Answer!

Indeed!

There's No Need For Arrogance
No Regret!
No Sorrow!
Just Truth
To Be Spoken Of
With Gratitude To Our Father
AND
With Humility And Compassion
To Doubting Scornful Men
Who Lambaste Our Unshakeable Belief
In The Blessed Assurance
That Jesus Christ Is Returning To Earth
For His Faithful Waiting Enduring People!

I Am Waiting Hoping
Praying
Fixedly
For The Regeneration
That Is Ours In The Hour Of 
Christ's Coming And Calling!

I Want To Get Home!

Amen, Brother!

Now, Before We Separate
I Encourage You To Think Of 
The Other Mercies
That Our Great God
On Us
So Mercifully Bestows!

Mercies ... For Me:

  • Forgiveness
  • Truth
  • Peace
  • Rest
  • Correction
  • Direction
  • Chastisement


As Much As It Is Despised
Chastisement IS Indeed 
A Greatly Unappreciated Mercy!

No One Likes The Lash!
It May Pain Us For A Moment
But ... 
Accepted
At The Last Trumpet
We Shall Be Changed
To Be Like Christ
In A Moment
In A Flash!

I Beseech You, Brethren,
Take The Chastisement!
Walk In The Truth!
Follow The Direction!
Take On Board The Correction!
Live By Faith!
Enjoy The Peace
AND
In The Day Of Appointment
Get The Eternal Rest
AND
Fly High In The Sky
In Your Eternal Youth!

Let's Do This Again ... Real Soon!

Go With God, Brethren!

Likewise, Brother!

TREASURES: Human Magpies?!

We Humans Talk About Magpies
Who Like Things Shiny And Bright
BUT
We Are No Different
AND
We Also Like Tingling
AND
Jingling Twinkling
Even Though The Inordinate Love Of These Things
Brings With Them
None Other Than Soul Blight!
We Happily Call Them A Delight!

We Also Like Things
Blaring And Glaring
AND
We Detest The God-Fearing
The Mindful And The Careful
AND
Coddle The Damnable
AND
The Distasteful
AND
Call The Faithful Good
Disgraceful!

We Sing Songs Of Praise
To The Knowingly Sinful!
We Make Light Of Ways
Knowingly Shameful!
We Take Walks In Glades
To Do Things Abominable
AND
We Deliberately Call The Lord Christ
A Verifiable Fable!

We Doubt The Word Of
The Giver Of Life
AND
Laud The Lies Of The Blight Of Life!

Some Of Us Talk To The "Dead"
Calling Them Angels From On High
AND
Forget God
Who Is Able
To Shine Light On Devilishly Nimble Lies!
Time To Break That Cable!

We Trust In Wrong
AND
Doubt The Right!
We Kiss The Frog
AND
Let Down Our Hair!
We Drink-In The Lukewarm
AND
Bite The Poisoned Apple
AND
In The Glass Coffin Lie Down
After "Honestly" Believing
That Blighted Man Will Raise The Dead
After Satan Aka Lucifer The Light-Bearer
"Comes Down "
In His Shining White And Bright Nightgown!

The Fool Says
In His Deceived Heart
That There Is No God!
The Fool Is The One
Who Will Not Take Of God's Correction!
The Fool Is The One
Who Chooses Not To By God Be Made Wise
AND
Is The Fool Is The Ardent One
Who Treasures Known Lies!

Be Not Deceived!
Almighty God Is Not A Man-Made Clock
To Be Set According To The Fashion!
Almighty God Is Neither A Gyroscope
Working At Our Direction
Nor A Metronome
To Go At Speed
Ordered By Us To Perfection!

The Living God
Is The God Of Order!
He Provides Time For Man
To Be Led Out Of Ways Disordered
AND
By His Direction
Correction
AND
In His Protection
To Live Life Orderly
IF
We Will Give To Him
Our Will
So That He Will Make For Us The Way!

It Behooves Us Well
To Trust The Lord
To Think Aright
To Ignore The Temptations Of The Fraud
Who Cannot Make Us Bow To His Will
No Matter How Many Blandishments
He Will Our Minds
Try
Avidly To Fill!

Let Your Eye Be Bright
With Shining Truth!
Feel Your Feet Tingle
As You Move To Share The Good News!
Let Your Nerves Jingle
In Aversion
To Reinterpreted Gospel
AND
See The Twinkle
In The Eye Of The One
Who At Last Knows
That God
- Through Jesus Christ -
Will Never Reject
A Repentant Sinner's
Trusting-God Call!

Take Time To Know Jesus
Who Knows Everything
About  Everything
Concerning
You!
Be To Him True
For
He Loves
AND
Cares 
Mercifully
Forgivingly
Redeemingly
Gracefully
For You!

I Trust Him! - Will You?!

Dare To Care!





If We Love God
We Should Be Loving Our Brethren!

If We Love Our Brethren
How Can We Not Love Almighty God
Who Made Us
AND
Gave The Breath Of Life
To Us
Our Brethren
AND
All Others?

We Claim To Walk With God
AND YET
We Haughtily Walk Past
Walk Around
Our Poor Downtrodden
Hungry
Naked Brethren!
This View Cannot Be True!
This Must Be A Mistake
ELSE
Our Claim To Love God
Renders Us
Pharisaical Fakes!

Putting Coals Of Fire
On The "Enemy's" Head
Will Sear His Conscience
If He Is Not Already Dead!
Heaping Coals Of Fire
On Our Own Heads
Over Hearts Grown Cold
Does Not Do Anything For Us
When We Choose To Be
Gold-Plated Hypocrites
Bold!

BUT ...

In The Last Day
All
Will Give A Running Account
Of The Life Spent
AND
The Treasures In One's Personal Account
AND

"But..!"

"Because ...!"

"If ...!"

AND
"I Probably ...!"

Are Not Going To Stop
The Wrath Of God
From Raining Down
On Our Heads
If We're Among
The Unrepentant
AND
The Ungodly
Who Live For
The Pleasure
The Party
AND
Lord Mesmer's Songs!

We Are Blessed
For The Good That We Do
AND
We Are Held Responsible
For The Good
We Could Have Done
AND
Consciously Choose
Not To Do!

If God Gives You
A Box Full Of Biscuits!
Praise God For The Blessed Outpouring
AND
Set A Few Bits Out Of Your Bounty
On The Water
Wherever The Shore You Are Beholding!
Bless A Brother!
Bless A Sister!
AND
Indeed
Bless Yourself!
For
What Good Is A Blessing
Locked In A Box
On The Long-term
Cold Storage 
Save-It-For-Later Shelf?!

Give ... And It Will Come
Back ... To YOU!

Dare To Share!
Dare To Help Another
His Burden To Bear!
Dare To Care
AND
Save A Life
In This Mortal Strife!

God Is Faithful!

He Keeps His Own Accounting
Of Balances Due To Us All

AND

Unlike Earth's Dishonest Pay Masters
God's Promises Are Written In Blood
Not Chalk Powder
Solemnly Masquerading
As Curative Plaster!

**********

God Keeps His Promises!

Trust God

AND

Do Good!
