Are Your Challenges Ham-Fistedly Handling You!?!






Are You Being Personally Challenged 
Emotionally
Financially
Physically
Or Spiritually!?! 

Are You Handling The Challenge 
Or Is The Challenge Ham-Fistedly Handling You!?! 

Are You Being The Victor By The Grace Of God 
Or Are You Being A Victim 
Because 
You Are Forgetting Whose Child You Are 
And
Who You Are To And In Your Father!?! 

Beloved, 

If You Are Desirous Of A Pain-Free
Care-Free Existence As A Committed Child Of God
No Offense
But 
You Are Reading The Good Book Upside Down 
And 
Backward! 

Don't Feel Too Bad, Though
We've All Been There 
And 
Have Most Assuredly Done That! 

Let Us All Get Up
Dust Ourselves Off
Turn The Good Book Right Side Up 
And 
Start Reading It, Left To Right
Through The Eyes Of Faith Which Work By 
And 
Through Our Love For Our Lord Christ! 


Consider This ...

We Are Striving For Perfection 
On The Way To The Pearly Gates 
On Mount Zion 
And
Since It Is Impossible To Climb A Smooth Mountain
Let Us Let The Lord Lead
The Holy Spirit Comfort ... And Correct Us
The Holy Angels Protect 
And 
Influence Us To The Good And The Right 

And Then

Confidently Choose To Ever Remember That 
Our Father Is In Heaven 
And
Our Dear Savior Feels What We Feel 
And
Is Well Able To Comfort Us And Help Us! 

Our Victory Is In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Please Give Your Burden To The Lord:
 Pray! 

Be Strong In The Lord: 
Pray! 

Move By Faith: 
Pray! 

Trust Saving Truth: 
Pray
And
Unerringly Head For The Heavenly Home 
Praying ... Without Ceasing ... As You Go! 

Jesus Christ Overcame
So That We May Overcome:
He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH: Enemies, Endurance, And The Patience Process For Everlasting Peace


Happy Sabbath | "The Lord is my Shepherd"


Sanctification
Is
A Patience Process 
The Work Done In One's Entire Life Time!
It Is Not A Giddy-Up Horsie!
It Is Day By Day
Moment By Moment
One Studied, Steady, Step At A Time!

Do Not Let Your Walk To Mount Zion Be Interrupted 
By All The Race Horses Giddily Zipping By!
You Are Walking In The Defined Steps Of Your Good Master
Whom You Intend To Meet ... Peacefully
In The Great And Glorious By And By!

The Battle
Is 
Not For The Swift Of Foot
Nor Is The Prize Given To Him Who Is Known Strong!
The Battle 
Is 
Won By The Faithful
The Good By God's Grace
The Enduring Servant Who
- As A Faithful Steward -
Is
Conscientiously, Confidently, Humbly, Obedient
Whether He Is Watched
Or Is Working To Give A Report
At The End Of His Day
The One Who Watches, Walks
And 
Works Wisely
The One Who Seeks Never
To His Master's Great Name
To Bring The Tarnish Of
Willful Sin's Besmirching Disgrace!

Watching ... Waiting
Working ... Walking
Willing Wise
No Lover Of Lies!
This Is The Servant Who Arrives Safely At The Gate
Because 
He Has Kept His Place
His Eye On The Prize
His Hand In The Hand
And
His Head Free From Lies
He Is The One Upon Whose Blessed Head
The Gold Crown Of Jesus Christ's Glory 
Shall
       Fitted To Perfection
                                     Eternally Lie!
He Did Not The Will Of His Father
Ever, Ever, Defy Or Deny! 



Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in ...



Brethren,

In This Age Where The "Illuminated" Response 
To Every Good Gift Of The Living, Holy, God 
Is 
Anti-God 
And 
Alternative To Known Goodness 
And 
The Promised Blessings
We Of The Household Of Faith Need To Stand Up 
And
Be Counted By Our Continuing Cooperation With Christ 
If 
It Is Our Heart's Desire 
To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Going Along With The Ways Of The World 
To Get-Along With The World 
For A Known-Temporary "Peaceful Existence" 
Makes One A Compromised Soul 
And
The Enemy Of Almighty God! 

Now, Just In Case You Don't Know 
How That Will End
Remember That Lucifer
The Most Glorious Of The Heavenly Angels
Became The Enemy Of God: 
His Choice Couldn't, And Didn't, Work Out 
And 
His New Name ... Satan
Marks Him As Adversary, Evil
Condemned 
And 
Damned ... For All Eternity! 

Please Choose Your Final Destination Wisely!
Please Choose Jesus Christ The Righteous One
And 
His Ever-Living, Always Loving, Goodness
And 
Eternal Life 
For The Truly Peaceful Existence! 
Please Trust The Living, Eternal, Holy God ... Of Grace
And 
With Deliberation
Pray ... And Obey ... Always!

In This World
We Shall Have Tribulation
But
Be Of Courage:
Jesus Christ Overcame The World
So That By His Example
We May Overcome The World, Too! 

Our Father Does, Indeed, Know Best!
Of All Known Sin ... Cultivated And Inherited
See To It That You Humbly Confess And Repent!

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH: Dare To Be Brave!



Image result for psalm 125:1 kjv



Are You Safe!?! 
Do You Know That You Are Safe 
Under The Banner Of The Almighty God 
Or 
Are You Trusting The Say-So
The Personal Experience Of Another Person 
To Know That You Are Safe In The Lord Christ
The Eternal King
The Faithful And Just Judge!?! 

All Who Enter The Kingdom Of Glory 
Will Have Their Own, Personal, Relationship With Jesus
Will Know What He Says
Will Eagerly Do His Will
And 
Will Walk Wisely, From Grace To Glory
Because 
They Know The Voice Of Christ Jesus
Have Made An Unshakeable Commitment To Him
And 
Walk With Assurance In His Word ... According To His Will 
Because Of 
Love, And Real Trust! 
Trust In The Lord 
And 
Be As Mount Zion 
For There Is Where You Shall Eternally Abide! 

Work Your Faith, Experience Life In Christ Here 
And 

Be Blessed Forever With Life With Christ In Zion! 

The Facts Remain ...

We Who Call Ourselves Christians
Have Got To Take A Stand
And
Let The Whole World Definitively Know That
We Are Committed Followers Of
The Son Of The Eternal Holy God
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Loving Son Of Man!

It Is Getting Toward Crunch Time
And Therefore
Not Time To Grow Weary, Be Afraid, Or Faint
Because
It Is Time To Wear The Whole Armor Of God
As Befits His Living Saints!

You Know Truth: Live It!
You Know The Holy Way: Walk Boldly On It!
You Are A Lamp: Burn Brightly!
Brethren,
It Is Time To Awaken From Sleep
You Who Are Jesus Christ's Faithful Lambs And Sheep!

You Are Not Forsaken: Trust The Promise!
Holy Angels Are Protecting You: Be Brave!
Now Is Not The Time To Be A Doubter
Or To Revert To Being A Sin-Slave!

We Have Perfect Peace!
We Have Available Grace!
We Have Mercy Ever Free
And
We Do, Indeed, Have The Perfect Love Of Our King Jesus
Who To The Father's House Of Joys Forevermore And Rest
Is
The Sure ... The Only ... Key!

Jesus Christ Does For Us What No Created Hand Can
So Dare To Be Brave
And
Reach For The Extended Holy Hand
Which Is So Scarred And So Gentle
Which Is Sheltering Strong
Which Was Extended, Pinned, For Our Salvation
Where For Us Sacrificial Love Is Always Found!
In His Embrace, We Belong!

Dare To Be Brave!
Dare To Hope And Trust!
Dare By Faith To Endure What Must Come
And
Know For A Surety
In The Glad Throng At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Surely Be Found!

Jesus Christ Saves!

HAPPY SABBATH + GRACE: Please Take It!






Almighty God's Grace
Day By Day
Moment By Moment
Does Not Cease To Amaze Me!


The Gift ...

Love ... Personified!
     Love ... Exemplified!
          Love ... Not Denied
But
Plainly Demonstrated
Is
Most, Most, Most Assuredly ... Mine!


Amazing Grace
Places Me
On
The "To Heaven!" Incline!


I Trust The Giver Of All Precious And Pleasant Gifts
And
I Will Not Be Left Behind

Because
Toward Doubting Truth
I Was Recognizably Swift!

I Choose To Walk With Wisdom
To Be A Willing, Ready, Doer
And 

Not Just a Hearer Of The Word
Because
I Desire To Eternally Inhabit
The Lot Which The Lord Says 
- As An Overcomer -
Is 
Irrevocably Mine!


Almighty God's Grace Gives Me Power
By Prior Proof
     With Current Action
          For Present Blessing

And
Future, Eternal, Gain!

Almighty God's Grace 
Sows Seeds For Salvation
And
I Wittingly, Willingly, Eat Its Sweet Fruit!
It's All Gain ... No Shame!
Grace Let's Me Rest
     Gives Me Hope
          Shores Up My Faith
And
Assures Me Of My Own Soul's Free Gift Of
Eternal Salvation!

I Must Tell The Nation!

Almighty God's Grace
Is
Guiding Light!

Almighty God's Grace Is Food:

Salt ... Tenderizes, Seasons And Sanitizers, Preserves
Wheat ... Makes Good Bread For Leisurely Eating, Says That I Am His, Saved
Oil ... Anoints Me For His Glory And Makes Palatable The Bread Of The Word
Water ... Washes Away Sin, Slakes My Thirst For Truth
Wine ... Good Doctrine In And Out Of Season

Almighty God's Grace 
Is 
Sufficient For Me!
Almighty God's Grace Fills And Satisfies Me!


Believe And Live ...

No One Falling On The Good Lord's Grace 
Will Ever Be Denied
Be Sent Away Empty-Handed
Cast Aside
Cast Out!
All Willing Are Welcome!
For Mercy, By Grace
In Truth For Love
Unto Our Glorious God Importunately Cry!

Grace Is Not A Lie ...

Take Grace Because You Believe It Blesses!
Share The Good News Because You Received Grace 

And 
Are Blessed!
Give Thanks For Your Precious Gift Of Grace

Because
With It, By It, Through It 
Old Satan Cannot Your Oft' Hurting Heart Deceive!

Grace
     Mercy
          Blessing

                Salvation:
                        Justification
                        Ongoing Sanctification
                         Future Glorification!
Almighty God's Grace Is Free
To Me ... To Thee
To Every Single Living Body!
There Is No Storage Fee
And
It Is Available All Day
Daily!


Take Almighty God's Grace
His Undying Love
His Perfect Peace
And
Dare To Live As One Set Apart ... Holy!

Jesus Christ Came Down
And
Lived As One Lowly
So That By Our Acceptance
Of
His Purchased-For-Us Grace
- That Unmerited Favor -
We May Be Raised Up, Regenerated
To The Station Glorious
Zion Beautiful
Graceful
Lofty!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Buying Rams And Bulls Is Not Cheap!

What's My Motivation!?!

Doing The Will Of God Pays More Than It Costs!
Heaven Awaits The True And Faithful!

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

Okay! Here Goes Everything!!

Disobedience Is A Debit Card!
It Costs!
It Cannot Pay!
It Subtracts From The Credit Side Well-Called Obedience!
It Tells Lies For Convenience!
It Indulges Evil Concupiscence!
It Travels In The Company Of The Nuisance
Who 
Does Not Give Tuppence For Your Purchased Soul
But
Who Is Soon To Get His Comeuppance
Because
Encouraging All To Indulge Unsafe
Damnable Play
Is 
His Black Heart's One Goal!

Brethren, 
Do Not Sacrifice
True Honor, Justice And Humanity
To Your Over-Arching Pride And Ambition
Dismissing Conscience
And
Embracing Guile!
The Lord Will Not Your Base Behavior Abide!

Do Not Make An Agreement With Death
Nor A Covenant With Hell
By Being A Practicing Idolater
And 

Worshipping Self
Through Ignoring The Laws Of The Lord
And, Thereby

Ending Up Like King Saul Of Old
Seeking Out Familiar Spirits
Because

Against The Author Of Life
Your Heart Has Grown Cold
And
He Has Left You 
To Take Your Own Unregenerate Soul's Advice
And
You - Against Satan - Are Left Signally Alone!

The Cheapest 
And 
The Best Sacrifice That
A Man May Make To The Eternal God
Is
To Sacrifice Self And The Willingness To Willful Sin
To Rid Oneself Of Jealousy And Greed
And
To Make Petition For Our Will

His Divine Will To Ever Obey
And
For Lasting Endurance
To Walk On The Holy King's Straight And Narrow Way!

It Is Best To Bend
To Be Broken
Than To Stand Boldly, Brazenly
In Willful Disobedience
Embracing Known Sin
And, Then
For Our Rush To Lawlessness ... 
Burn 
Until Completely Consumed! 
Do Not Against The Lord's Mercy Presume!

Do Not Justify Self:
You Did Not Create The Creator! 

Do Not Justify Self:
You Are In The Wrong! 

Apologize ... Now
And
There Will Be No Need For Tears
For Illimitable Fears
For The Tempests Of Torment
Flooding The Perjured Soul
Who Chooses Not, By The Lord
To Have Any Correcting Words Told!

Be A Lamb!
Be A Wooly Sheep!
Rest In Christ Jesus!
Enjoy Peaceful Sleep! 

Look Up In Love!
Take The Extended Hand
And
After Death
- At The First Resurrection For The Just -
Behold The Shining, Glorious, Face Of 
The Holy King
The Returned Son Of God
The Faithful Son Of Man!

This, Brethren
Is
The Can't-Fail, Blessed, Known-Worthwhile Plan!
We Will On The Mount Zion
- Joyously Welcomed Home -
Singing
Stand!


Brethren,
Reach Out And Take The Extended Holy Hand
And
Take Your Stand!
Take The Hand Of The God-Man
Who, Alone, On Zion Hill
Can Cause You In Triumph To Land!
Trust The Righteous Son Of Man!
Take The Hand... And Obey!
Take The Hand ... And Pray!
Take The Hand ... And You Won't Be Satan's Prey!

I Pray That Almighty God
Will Help Us To Understand Our Problem
And
Give Into Our Hands The Strength
To Recognize And Accept The Only Solution!

I Thank You!


Follow After
Christ's Righteousness
Each And Every Day
And
For Your Own Sin
You Will Never Have To Pay!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Is The Warm Embrace! + PRAYER: Father, We Know Not What Tomorrow Holds!

Truth Is Unpopular!
Self-Exaltation 
Is 
Rampant Among The People Of God
And
The Spirit Of Independence 
Is 
Actively Holding Sway!
If Only We Would Accept The Truth
And
Know, Of A Surety That
It Is Dependence On
And
Humility Before The Lord Christ
That Will Carry Us, Saved And Clean
To The Glorious Kingdom
In That Great And Awful Day!

There Is No Justification
Why A Fallen Man
Known Called To Repentance
To Receive Sure And Secure Salvation
Should Indulge Own-Sin Self-Pay!

The Facts Are Plain ...

Self Is A Sinner!
Truth Is A Sword
And
Faith Is A Shield For Us Who Walk With 
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Pride Is Slow Poison!
Freedom In Sin Is A Lie!
Grace Is A Gift To All Of Us
And
Christ's Death For Us Did Free Mercy Buy!

Do Not Indulge The Sin Of Presumption!
Do Not Embrace Hate!
Do Not Despise Chastisement!
Do Not Let Willful Disobedience
Design
Determine
Distribute For You
Your Eternal Fate!

Jesus Christ Was Humble
Prayerful
Obedient
Spirit-Filled!
On Calvary, His Will Was One With The Father's
And
In Mount Zion, It Is Still!

Let Us Will To Be Humble!
Let Us Choose To Set Aside Pride!
Let Us Follow Faithfully The Master
Permitting Him Our Lives To Guide!

Turn Away, Turn Away, From The Liar!
Turn, Turn, To The Light That Gives Life!
Turn Over Your Walk To King Jesus
And
His Spirit, Holy, Will Guide You 
And Teach You 
All That You Need To Learn!
Do Not Your Call To Soul-Salvation Spurn!
To Eternal Life, I Beseech You, Brethren
Turn! Turn! TURN!



PRAYER:

Jesus Is The Joy Of Living
And
His Call To Soul Salvation, Father
I Willingly Accept!

I Ask A Boon, A Blessing, Lord
A Benefit Sublime!
Please Help Me, I Beseech You
Not To Believe Or Act Upon The Lie
That Says That
Having Earthly Treasures
Will Mark Me As Among Those Who, By You
Are Blessed And Spiritually Fine!
Help Me, Daily, The Liar To Defy!

Help Me, Please, My Beloved Father
To Live As Jesus Christ Lived
To Pray And With You
To Constantly Commune
And
To Keep You Always Near!
Help Me, Dear Father
To Hold You Up In Godly Fear!

I Know Not What Tomorrow Holds
So Please Help Me To Live Abundantly Today
Doing All The Good That I Can
And
Willingly Doing All That You Say!
I Desire On The Mount Zion
By Right
To One Day, Triumphant, Stand!

Please Remember My Brethren, Father
Those Near And Those Far Away!
Please Provide For Them Out Of Your Bounty
Protection
Provision
Power
Grace
Faith
Love
Light
And
Those Things
Of Which We Presently Know Nothing
As The Need Arises
Every Moment Of Every Day!
Help Them Ever, In Working Faith
Constantly To Pray!

And, Dear Father
When Our Lives Shall Come To A Close
I Pray That It Will Be With Us
Found Wearing The Clothing
That Speak To The Character
Built On The Lord Christ
And
Absent Any Demonic Device
That Bespeaks A Character Not Regenerated
By The Laws That Speak Life!

Please Help Us To Give You All The Glory
All The Praise
And
All The Honor That Is Your Due
For We Ask These Few Mercies
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
Oh, Father, We Do Love You!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Incinerators, Bananas And Eclipse Biscuits!?!





True Confession
Powerful Influence
Practical Godliness
Particular Sin


Brethren,
It Is Down To These Four!
It Is Now Or Nothing!
If Our Matchups Fail
We Are Doomed!

Each Of Us ... Personally
Has A Ministry ... Publicly
Has A Task ... Specifically
And
A Singular ... Message
A Certain ... Hope!

We Are A Peculiar People
Serving The Holy God
Who Does Not Play Favorites
By Excusing Sin!

Sin Is Sin
But
Some Sins Are Abominable
And
Are Delineated By Almighty God's Most Severe Punishments!

However,
Save For Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Vengeance
All Sin
All SinAll Sin 
Is Forgiven
If And WhenGenuine Repentance
Is 
Placed Upon The Altar Of Sacrifice!

The Punishment For Blasphemy
The Punishment For Unrepented Sin
Is 
Death
The Second Death
Which Is Final! 

Recovery Is Impossible
Because
All Those Who Enter The Lake
Burning With Fire And Brimstone
Are ... Consumed!

An Analogy Is In Order ...

You Live Off Of Bananas And Biscuits
And
You Live In A Building With An Incinerator
To Which You Have Full And Free Access!
To Access ItYou Just Need To Walk
- In Any Direction -
Seven (7) Steps!

You Always Have In Your Possession
A Hand Of Ripening Bananas
- Undisposed, The Skins Are Sin -
And
A Box With 24 Packs Of Eclipse Biscuits
- Undisposed, The Wrappers Are Sin -

You Know The Rules!
You Accepted The Rules!
You Live By The Rules
Maybe ... Sorta ... Kinda ... Probably Not
Because
- Truth Must Be Told -
You Are A Raw-Mout' Sinner!

You Have Racked Up Many Building Code Violations
And
You Are Exerting A Deleterious Influence
Upon Your Neighbors!

People Are Complaining
And
Flies And Cockroaches And Mice
- Known Imps On Speed -
Are In 
And 
Escaping From Your Domain!

Things Have Finally Reached A Head!

The Chief Financial Officer Aka The Son Of Man ... Appealed To You
- You Killed Him
- He Rose Again
The Chief Operating Officer Aka The Holy Spirit Of Truth ... Pleaded With You
- You Threw A King Rat In His Face
The Chairman Of The Board Aka The King Of Glory ... Will Soon Step In!

You Consume Your Biscuits!
You Leave Sin Behind!
You Consume Your Bananas!
You Leave Sin Behind!

When You Put Your Sin In The InSINerator
It Is Consumed!

When Your Apartment
You
Your Cup
Becomes Filled With The Detritus Of An Ill-Spent
Sinful
Profligate Life
And
The Building Control Finally Has To Intervene
Because 
You Will Not Turn Away From Cherishing Sin
The Final Outcome
Is
SINner In The Incinerator!
You Are Consumed!

While The Weight Of Punishment 
Is 
According To Sin
The Outcome Is Nonetheless The Same:
Nothing Remains!
There's No Eternity In Pain!
It's Over!
There's No Purgatory!
There's No Do-Over!

On The Other Hand ...

When We Confess ...




Brethren,

Let Us Not Be Blind
And
As The Blind Leading The Blind!

The Lord God Is Holy!
He Is Glorious!
He Is Divine
And 
To Fallen Man
The God Eternal
Is
Forever Kind!

Let Us Not The Hand Of Hope
The Heart Of Love
Presumptuously Decline!
Come To Jesus Christ ... Now!
Start The Journey To Mount Zion!
Climb, Brethren!
Climb!

Let The Powerful Influence
In Your Life
Be From The Just One Who
Will Cause You
To Forsake Your Particular Sin!
Let True Confession
Lead You To Live A Life
Of
Practical Godliness!

*****

Godliness Has Its True Reward!
