Dig For Hidden Treasure!




Ponder This ... 

Have You Ever Received 
A Big, Sumptuously Wrapped, And Bow-Decorated Gift Box
And Lifted It Up To Check The Weight
Shaken It To Hear If It Rattled
Checked The Gift Card To See From Whom It Came 
Because 
You May Have Some Cheapskate Friends, Relations, And Acquaintances
And 
Recognizing That It Is From The Generous Benefactor 
Who Always Gives Good And Perfect Gifts
Proceeded To Place That Good Gift 
In A Highly Visible And Well Lighted Corner 
Without Opening It 
Because 
You're Going To Save It For A Rainy Day 
Which Only Comes Twice A Year 
Since You Live In A Desert!?! 

Beloved, 

Salvation Full And Free
Is
The Open And Still Wrapped Gift 
With The Name Of Our Lord Jesus 
Prominently Displayed On The Name Tag 
But
With An Appetizingly-Thick Love Letter Attached Saying: 

"Open Immediately
And
Dig For Hid Treasure
Pearls Of Wisdom
Tried Gold
Healing Balm
Eye Salve
And
A White Robe Of Righteousness
An Over-Comer's Crown
And
Your New Name And Life
In And With Me!" 


Today Is The Day Of Salvation! 

The Book Of Love 
Is 
Given To You To Explore And Experience! 

Open The Gifted, Sure Word Of Almighty God
And 
Line Memory's Hall 
With The Found Treasures Of Goodness 
Harvested From Your Excavations! 

Peace!

"It" Only Takes One ...!






Faith
Is 
A Gift Given To Every Person ... Every Day 
For That Day's Use 
But
There Is No Point To Our Saying That 
We Have Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord 
When Our Very Plain Actions Sharply Say That 
We Don't Totally Trust Him! 

Consider For A Moment
General Moses In The Hebrew Exodus 
From The House Of Bondage In Egypt 
And 
The Roadblock Called The Red Sea That They Encountered! 

Moses Had Faith In God 
And 
Trusted The Lord To Deliver On His Promises 
To His Chosen People! 

The Lord Told Moses 
To Hold Up His Shepherd's Staff 
And 
Part The Red Sea ... NBD Aka No Big Deal! 

Moses, Human
Just Like Us Prone To Sin And Doubt By Nature
Chose To Exercise His Daily Gift Of Faith 
By Standing Decimating-Doubt 
And 
Dread Disbelief On Their Brittle Heads! 

And 

... No Abracadabra Mumbo Jumbo ... 

Human Trust By Faith
Aided 
By The Holy Power Of Omnipotence
Caused 
The Red Sea To Part 
Making Dry Ground 
For The Freed People To Walk Upon 
To The Promised Land! 

Beloved, 

Lift Up Your Faith
Extend Your Heart In Trust
Look To The Lord For Your Victories 
Already Purchased And Provided
And 
Walk With Confidence
 Into The Heavenly Promised Land! 

Please Don't Let Your Lack Of Trust Call God A Liar! 
Faith Requires Only One Step: Take It And Be Forever Blessed!


THINK ON THESE THINGS:

One Step Leads To Salvation
One Step Leads To Damnation
One Step Leads To Trust By Faith
And
One Step Leads To Doubt And Disgrace!

One Taste Led Man To Knowingly Sin
One Urge Led Man The Lord To Defy
One Urge Led Peter The Lord To Deny
One Man's Sin Led Jesus Christ For Man To Die!

Beloved, 

Do Not Doubt The Power Of One
One Lie
One Act Of Disobedience
One Walk In Presumption
One Foray Into Folly
And
One Lapse In Judgment
Can Lead Any And All
Into The One Appointment With Death
Which No Man Can Reject Or Reschedule!

Soooo ...

Let Each One Of Us
Be Wise Unto The One Sure Salvation
Standing With And For
The One Who Alone Saves
So That We May Walk Through
The One Gate That Speaks To Our Overcoming 
And
Stand Before The One
Who Did Our Punishment Take!

There Is The One Sweet Spirit Of Truth That 
Leads Into Righteousness
Whether We Are Middling, Old Or Youth!
Let Us With One Voice
Raise The Song Of Jubilee
As We Follow The One Word That 
Comes From The Holy God Who Is The Truth!

One Lord
One Faith
One Baptism
One Love
One Grace
One Heaven To Gain
One Hell To Refuse
One Peace That Passes Human Understanding
One River Of The Water Of Life
One Tree Of Life
One Crown Of Life
One Harp Of Gold
One New Name
One Holy Desire The Best Blessing To Claim!

Beloved, Believer
  Brethren Blessed, 

Hold On To Your One Hope
And
Your One Sin Rapidly Confess!
All Sin We Commit
Is 
Sin Against The One Holy God
So Believe The Living Holy Word
And
Depart The Deceitful
Destructive, Damnable Ways Of 
The One Known God-Fraud
Satan, Our Adversary
The One Who Wants Us To Deny
Defy
Denigrate
Disrespect
Dismiss
The One Who
Gives Us Our One Life To Live For Him!

Be At One With Jesus Christ The Lord!
He Is The One Way To The Father's House 
Our One Forever Home!

MARKED: All Outcasts Are Welcome In His House!

I Am A Sinner ... Marked For Death
And The Only Way Of Escape
Is
To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
And Take The Love Of Christ Jesus
Into My Trembling Heart
And
By Him Be Blessed!

I Could Be Presumptuous And Arrogantly Foolish ... If I Wanted To! 
I Can Choose To Dare The Lord!
I Can Choose To Persist In Walking With The Prince Of Darkness 
And
Also Wittingly Choose To Receive Of His Promised Reward

But

I Am Convinced Of The Need For Righteousness! 
I Am Convicted Of My Known
And Dearly Held Inherited And Cultivated Tendencies And Sins
And
Because I Finally See And Recognize My Need
I Choose To Humble Myself
And 
Not Walk Fearlessly 
On The Broken, Rotted, Branch That Is Sin
Condemned Sin In The Flesh!

I Desire The Win
That Sees Me Gaining Victory Over Sin!
I Desire The Gold Crown
That Says I Am Not Under The Righteous Judge's Frown!
I Desire The New Name
That Says That Christ's Righteousness Is Mine
And
I Have A Successful Claim
And
I Desire Immortality And Incorruptibility
That Says That Jesus Christ Saves
And
I, His Child
Have No Stain Of Which To Be Ashamed!

I Bear The Name!
I Am Christian ... By Name And By Nature!
I Carry My Father's Great Name With Humility
And
I Am Bound For Hill Zion
Where The Family Will Sing Praise
Offer Willing Worship
And
Glorify That Amazing Name ... Jesus Christ
The King ... The Lord
Who Died For The Sin That Wasn't His
To Give Us The Glorious Life That Isn't Ours!

Thank You, Dear Jesus
For The Infinite Gift Of Love
That Is Now Mine
That Is Now Ours!
Shouldn't We All Say:

"Take My Hand, Lord!?!

Brethren, 

Please Think On This:
Even By Worldly Standards
Sinner's Are "Marked," Hungry, And Thirsty! 
We Have All Sinned Against And Forsaken The Lord
And
We Need To Get Back To The Basics!
We Need To Return Home To Our Loving, Gracious, Father!

The Samaritan Woman At The Well Was A Notable Sinner
And
An Outcast ... Twice! 

As A Samaritan
She Was Despised By The Jewish Brethren
And
To Her Samaritan Brethren 
She Was A House-Wrecker: 
She'd Had Five Husbands Which Were Not Her Own! 
She Had A Great Need! 

Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life
The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith
Offered Her His Gift Of Water ... His Eternal Life
And 
He Offers Us The Same, Too! 

Jesus Christ ... Touched By The Feeling Of Our Infirmities
Looks Beyond Our Condition 
And 
Offers To Us A Place 
At His Position As King Of Glory, Giver Of Grace! 

You, Personally
Are Valuable And Loved, Desired, By Lord! 
Please Accept His Free Gift Of Salvation!
He Is Calling You Home!
Say "Yes!" And Be Blessed!

I Say "Yes!" To Everlasting Life! 
And I Thank God For His Grace And Mercy!

His Grace And Mercy Are Infinitely Great Towards Us! 
We Are Blessed So Let Us Never Forget It! 

The Message Is So Very Clear! 
People Need To Take Heed! 

We Need To Pray For Them To Truly Hear
And
Explicitly Heed That Still And Sweet Small Voice
Instead Of Running After The Loud And Aggressively Obnoxious Voices
Who Are Card-Carrying Members Of The NATO Alliance
Aka No Action Talk Only Alliance
Currently Known To Be Naturally Bad For The Seeking Sinner's Soul!

Thank Almighty God That 
Our Jesus Christ Can Do And Does
Exactly What He Says He Will Do For Us
Who Take Him At His Living, Known-Holy, Word! 

AMEN!!!

I Desire The New Name! + PRAYER: Remember Us Who Pray!

My Life Was Hard
Because 
I Knew Not God
And
I Ran Wild
With The Wily Fraud!

My Life Now Is Hard
Because
I Walk With God
And
Have Run Afoul Of The Willful Fraud!

My Life Will Continue To Be Hard
Because
I Have Determined
And
I Am Determined
By Almighty God's Great Grace
That I Will Walk Faithful
To My God
No Matter The Consequence
Nor Man's Prod Called Reward
For My God Is My Shepherd
And
In Him
I Know No Want
Because
He Lovingly Provides For My Real Daily Needs
And 
Not As The Devil Did
Catering
To My Wasting-Life-Wants Masquerading As 
Felt Aka Can't-Do-Without-It-Or-I-Shall-Die, Needs!

My God
The Living God
The God Of Creation
Is True
And
Every Morning
His Mercies Are True
Blessing And Comforting
My Fragile Heart To Renew!

By His Own Grace
And
For Love
I Trust My God At All Times
And I Pray ...

Lord,
Please Let My Love For You
Be Ever True
For
I Desire A New Name
And
A Reserved Place
At Your Welcome Home Table!

Oh, Lord
I Desire A Forever Home
In Highest Heaven
Eternally Abiding With You
So, Please
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Pray
Keep Me Faithful
Keep Me Walking In The Light
Keep Me Moving Forward
On The Straight And Narrow Path
Where Dwells Things Good And Right
And
Bless Me To Stay The Course
Even If Family, Friends
Brethren
Viciously Sue Me For Divorce!

Lord,
I Bless You!
I Worship You!
I Give You Unfeigned Praise
And
It Is My Heart's Desire
To Ever Always Obey You
In What You Say
Because
I Know Of A Surety
That You Will Never Ever
Lead A Child Of The One Who Is Truth
Astray!

I Pray, Lord
For The Promised Victory Over Sin
And
The Right To Walk Through
Heaven's Pearly Gates
And
Into The Eternal City!

Remember Us Who Pray
Remember Us Who Look For
The Great Day
And
Bless Us Out Of Your Riches In Glory
In Jesus' Name!
AMEN.
