HAPPY SABBATH + Mustard Seed, Mountains And Mole Hills All Matter!







The Selfish Will To Sin
Is The Wicked Agent Of Satan
BUT
Is No Match Against
The Surrendered Will To Salvation
In The Consecrated Servant Of Christ
Because Of Very Simple Reasons:


  • Faith ... In The Finished Work Of Jesus Christ On The Cross
  • The Belief ... In The Word That What God Says He Will Do, He Will Do
  • The Trust ... That The Promises Of God Are True Because Of The Spilt Blood To All Who Will Believe
  • The Hope ... That The Faith Of - And Given By - Jesus Will By Faithful Endurance Of All Things In The Name Of Jesus Become Sight And Satisfaction For The Servant Of Jesus
  • The Sure Foundation ... Of Blessed Truth - Personally Proved - Upon Which He Stands
  • The Comfort ... Of The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding
  • The Assurance ... That He Is Never Alone
  • The Known Love ... Of The Revealed King Of Love
The Unrenewed Mind
- Devoted To Self -
Is No Match For
The Revived And Reformed Soul
Devoted To The Lord Jesus Christ
Who Is The Way
The Truth
The Light
AND
The Life Of Man!

The Difference Is Simple 
To The One Who Wills To See:

The First Sees Self
AND
Looks Inward
BUT
The Second Sees The Lord Christ
AND
Looks Upward!

Faith
- The Size Of The Mustard Seed -
Can Move Mountains
Aka
Cause The Hand Of Almighty God 
To Work For HIS Faithful Servant!

Presumption
- The Size Of A Mole Hill -
Motivated By The Sinful Doubt Of The Faithless Heart
Causes Satan To Work Mightily 
For The Destruction Of The Soul Of
HIS Deceived Agent!

Cherished Truth
- In The Inward Parts -
Elucidates
AND
Elevates The Believing Soul!

Cherished Error
- In The Inward Parts -
Deludes
AND
Decimates The Doubting Soul!

Both Souls
Are Loved By Their Creator
BUT
Only One Is The Winner
In The Upward Walk To Eternal Life!
Only One Is Seeking To Save His Own Soul!
Only One Is Making Highest Heaven
His Soul's Only Goal!

Oh, Selfish One!
Oh, Doubting One!
In The Hour Of Your Trial
Will Your "Master" Heed
Your Urgent Call?!
Will He Hold Your Trembling Hand In His "Mighty" Hand?!
Will He Comfort Your Quivering Heart In His "Constant" Heart?!
Will He Draw Your Bobbing Head To His "Steady" Shoulder
Or Will He Depart From You
Leaving You Alone
As One In The Grave ... Dead?!

Did Your Master-Not-Jesus Pay Your Bride Price?!
Did Your Master-Not-Jesus For You Make The Way?!
Did Your Master-Not-Jesus Make The Ultimate Sacrifice
AND
Is He Even Now
Making For You
An Eternal
AND
Heavenly Place?!

In The Coming Great Day Of God's Vengeance
In The Day Of Things Small
Will You Have Permitted
Your Run For The High Places
For The Big Things Of Pride
That Satisfy Flesh And Eye
- But Do Not Bring Everlasting Life -
To Cause You
- Unrepentant -
To Lose Out On Gaining
Eternal Life
With Our Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
With Whom You Refused To Walk
Daily
In Accord?!

Brethren,

The Day Is Soon Spent
AND
The Summer Is Almost Ended
So, Please
Let It Not Be Your Lot To Say:

Alas, We Are Not Saved!

Now Is The Appointed Time!
Now ... Is The Day Of Your Salvation!
Your Sins Are On You As Scarlet
BUT
Jesus Christ Can Make You Clean
AND
White ... As Snow!

Your Known Sins May Also Be Red Like Crimson
BUT
Jesus Christ 
Can Make You As Wool
AND
Fit
By His Father To Be Seen!

I Beseech You ...

Please Do Not Let That Wicked One
Who Can Never, Ever, Go Back Home
Stop You From Returning There
For
Eternal Rest
By Reason Of You Neglecting
To Use Faith
To Use The Call-Home Prayer-Phone!

Oh, Thou Child Of The Dust
Give Unto Christ Jesus
Your Selfish Pride
Your Carnal Lust!
Give Him All Today
For
There Is No Other Way
To Come To The Father
Because
By Said Christ Jesus
Is The Only Way There
Made Perfectly Clear!

Ye Who Are Weary Of
The Life Of Sin And Doubt
Come Home To The Lord Jesus
AND
In Glorious Celebration
Sing And Shout:

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!


Hallelujah To The Lamb
Upon Whom I Do
All
My Sins Willingly Throw!

At Last!
I Am ... HOME!!

PRAYER: Lord, Help My Mustard Seed Grow






Help Me Lord,  To Hear Your Voice!
Help Me Lord, In You To Rejoice!
Help To Stand Firm In Your Faith
And Not Run Around
Singing In Sin-Strained
Pitiful Voice!

I Pray, Lord
That My Faith Will Stand
Though Satan Rattles My Bones!
Help Me To Stand Firm
Even As Satan Tries To Sift Me As Wheat And Sand!
Help Me To Be Faithful
Kind
Honest And True
And,  Lord
Help Me
To Keep My Eyes Heart
Fixed
And Focused On You!

Lord, My Faith Has Found Its Resting Place
In Christ Who Died For Me
I Cannot Least Count His Sacrifice
Least Jesus Christ Should Least Count Me!

I Have A Speck Of Mustard Seed!
Dear Lord, Please Help It To Grow!
Protect It From Root Rot
And Barrenness
And From Foraging Animals' Need
And The Strangling Tares That Satan Sows!

Lord,  Help My Seed
To Grow And Grow
To Fill Up My Soul
And Not For A Pappy Show
But To Prove
That I Am Not Self Deceiving
And That I Am Not
Another Gospel Receiving!

Have Mercy, Lord!
Help Me To Honor
Love
Trust You And Obey
And Help Me No More
With Sin To Play!
Keep Me Safe
Each And Every Day
For I Know That My Safety Is In You
And I Don't Want It Any Other Way
For I Will To Be True
To Only You!
AMEN

The Believing Christian's Unique Position!






A Believing Christian Is In An Unique Position
When He Desires His Holy God 
To Act In His Behalf!

Let Me Explain:

Take As A For Instance - ILLNESS!

Believing Christian Makes His First Move:

"Father, I Am Ill!
I Can Do Nothing To Heal or Help Myself!
You Are My Helper
My Healer
My Savior
My Sealer
Have Mercy On Me!"

BUT, THEN

Believing Christian Realizes ... Something
From Having Read 
AND
Believed 
God's Holy Word

AND, HE ADDS ...

... Not Wanting To Ask God Anything Amiss ...

"Heal Me, Lord!
... According To Your Will
AND
In Your Way
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Plead!"

BUT, THEN ...

He Thinks, Yet Again
Of The Holy Word's Word
And Says ... With Mustard Seed Faith ...

"Lord, Heal Me!
I Know You Can Heal Me
And Even If You Don't
I Shall Still Love And Honor 
AND
Worship You!"

AND, THEN ...

From His Storehouse Of The Holy Word
His Faithful Heart Says ...

"I Want To Be Healed
BUT
Though You Slay Me, Lord
Yet and Still ... I Will Trust You!"

All Through This Time
Believing Christian Thinks Of The Many
Who Heard The Words:

"Take Up Thy Bed And ... WALK!"

"Thy Faith Has Made Thee Whole!"

"Be Ye Healed!"

"Go Thy Way! It Is Done As Thou Asked!"

"Go! And Sin No More!"


AND, His Heart SINGS ...

"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
And That He Shall Stand
At The Latter Day
(That Final Day)
Upon This Very Earth
(Where I Stand)
And Though Worms Destroy 
My Mortal Corruptible Body
Yet ... In This Flesh 
(My Very Own Flesh)
And With My Own Eyes
(Not Those Of Another)
I Shall See My God
(Face To Faith)!"

AND ...

His Faith Is Made Strong
Even Though His Answer
Received From The Eternal God
IS


"My Grace
IS
Sufficient 
For Thee!"

His Body
IS 
Not Whole
BUT
His Heart 
IS
Full ... and Overflowing!

AND ...



 He Is At Peace 
In His Rest(ing) 
In His Eternal Holy God!

Yes!
The Believing Christian's 
Position
Is An Unique One!
