VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Self-Mutilation!?! Why!?!

What Is There

What Darkness Is There

What Sorrow Is There That You Can't Expose

That You Can't Share

That Will Make You Happy In Another Persona

That Would Make You Mutilate Your Body

In An Effort To Obtain Cash

Or Companionship

Or For Notoriety

For Peace Of Mind

For A Peaceful Sleep At Night!?!

What Is So Fascinating About

Being Someone Else That 
You Would Rather Die For A Lie

Than Trust Almighty God 
And 
Walk Wise In Living Truth!?!

Are You Bigger ... Better
Stronger

More Creative Than Your Creator!?!

Are You More Inspiring Than Jesus Christ
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Inspires Us All!?!

Is Your Way ... Which Is Not The Way Of Almighty God
More Reasonable ... More Practical
And

More Feasible

Than The Way Of The Eternal God!?!

Why Are You Choosing To Walk In Lock-Step

With Wicked Satan

The Lying, Murdering, God-Fraud

And

His Fallen Angels 

Who Whisper, Whisper

Tempt, Tease, Torment And Terrorize

Those Of Us Who Faithfully Rely On Our Jesus Christ
And
Treat Even Worse
Those Who Do Not On Jesus Christ The Lord

Constantly, Consistently, Critically Rely!?!

Know The Right ...

Self 
Is 
A Notorious, Unrepentant, Sinner!

Why Are You Relying On Self!?!

Self Gets What It Wants

Even If It Means Destroying Its Host

To Get Its Own Way:

Self Is A Parasite

All Day ... In All Ways!

Self
Is
A Liar
And

The Favored Child Of Satan! 

Self Always Cries About And For Self

And

Only At Own-Way's Titties

Is Self Satisfied! 

Do Not Rely On Self For Living Success! 

Self 
Is 
An Undertaker

A Truth Faker

A Reality-Escape Faker
And

A Grave-Top Raker! 

But, There Is Hope ...

In The Good Book's Notes 

For How To Cope

How To Survive

How To Thrive

How To Really Be Alive

No Scissors

No Knife

No Palette Of Paint

Only Truth

Only Light

Good News The Soul To Delight

And

A Change Of Clothing

The Garment Of Praise

The Character Of Christ

The White Robe Of Righteousness 

The Heart Of Flesh

The Eye Salve For Sight

Fire-Tried Pure Gold

A Bath In The Stream Of The Blood Of The Christ

Who Paid Our Bill

To Give Unto Us His Everlasting Life To Live

Free And Clean

In A Prepared Place On The Eternal Shore! 

No Life Without Christ ...

It Is Appointed Once For Man To Die! 

A Man-ReMade Body Dies Twice!
But

The Christ-Created

And 
Recreated Body 

Through The No-Limit Space Flies

And 
In The Palace Of The King 

Safe ... Redeemed

Abides! 

An Expected End ...

Those Who Are Repentant For Sin

And 
By Enduring, Working, Faith, Die In Christ

Die ... To Live Again! 

Unrepentant Sinners

Those Who Boldly Sin Against The Holy God

Willfully Defacing The Image Of God In Man
Worshipping At The Throne Of Self
- The Known False God -

Die ... To Die Again! 

This Is Unnecessary, Uncalled-For, Pain 
And 
A Crying Shame! 

You've Got Jesus Christ So Lean ...

Jesus Christ Died To Save All Mankind
But
Jesus Christ Saves Who Ever Chooses To Be Saved
By Choosing Jesus Christ The Righteous
As Savior, Lord And God! 
The Ball Is In Your Court!

You Have Help ...

Faith 
Is 
Jesus Christ's Daily Gift To Me ... To You

To Help Us Make The Informed Decision
But

If We Refuse His Gift

His Offer Of Everlasting Life
The Great Salvation
We Willingly, Willfully, Unwisely
Put Ourselves On Course

For The Lake Of Fire, Known-Coming, Collision! 

Open Your Eyes ...

No Force ... Just Fact

Man Is Under Demonic Attack

But

Jesus Christ Has 
And Is 
Making The Way Safe And Clear!

Do The Right Thing ...

Humble Yourself

See And Express To, And For, Jesus Christ
Your Heartfelt, Personal, Need

And

Importunately Pray, Pray, Pray!
And

Give Almighty God His Due Glory
And
Invite The Holy Spirit Your Heart To Enter In

And 
From Deceitful, Self-Absorbed, Self

Boldly, Aggressively, Definitively, Walk Away! 
In Jesus Christ, Alone
Is
Found The New Life
The New Birth!

Jesus Christ

*** For You, Personally ***

Lovingly, Sacrificially, Cares! 

Carpe Diem ... Seize The Day!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Tetra Pac Lego God + PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me!

I Made An Amazing Discovery!
I Had Put My God 
In Cut-To-Fit Pieces 
In A Foil-Lined Box
Preserving Him
For Those Occasions 
When
He Would Save Me From 
A Real Or Imagined Attack!

My Mind Was Broad
AND
I Had "Created" A 
Specialized
Elite
Proficient 
God Force!

-- I Get Chills When I Think Of 
The Myriad Gods That
I Had Fashioned For Myself! --

I Had Fashioned:

A Special-Occasion God!
An Emergency God!
An "I Need A Favor!" God!
A Ready-To-Listen To My Complaints God!
A Sounding-Board God!
A Pat-Me-On-My-Back God!
A Save-Me-From-My-Self God!
A God-To-Be-Ignored-As-Convenient God!
A "Pity Me - I'm Your Child!" God!
And On and On!

Do You Get The Picture?!

This Was Idolatry!!

Well, It Finally Dawned On Me
That All Of These 
Different Occasion Gods' Requirements
- Per My Self -
Were Really Wearing Me Down To A Nubbin!

There Had To Be A Better Way!
There Had To Be A Better Way To Pray!

There Had To Be A Better God!

There Had To Be A Better God Who Has More Say!

What I Needed 
More Than Anything 
Was 
The All-Seeing
The All-Knowing
The Ever-Present
Almighty
True
Living
Eternal
Holy
GOD!!

I Proceeded To Have Me A Think
AND ... Lo!
AND ... Behold!

Did Not God Just Say:
"Call On Me 
AND 
I Will ...!"

SHOW YOU

The Great
The Mighty (Marvelous)
What You ( I and Eye!? ) Don't Know!

He Did Not Say He Will "Snow" Me!

PRAYER:

Father,  I Owe You An Apology

For Believing In A False Theology

Which Caused Me

To Indulge In Great Folly

Forgetting That You Are The God Holy!

Father,  I Take The Position Today

That The World And Its Deceits

I Will No Longer Attention Pay!

I Will Recombine You

To Your Rightful Estate

AND

I Will Cast My Lot On You

AND

You Will Then Be Responsible For My Fate!

Forgive Me,  Father

For Letting My Lack of Faith

My Lack of Understanding

My Unwillingness To Believe
AND

My Seeming Inability To Trust

Make You Less Than You Are To Me!

Father, 
You Are My God

AND

Come What May

In You  - The Holy God

I Will Wholly Trust!

I Love You,  Lord!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Bless and Keep Us, Lord

Lord, I say this Honest Prayer

Because of Family and Friends

About Whom I Care

If Granting them Riches would make Them You Forget

I Sincerely Pray that Their Pockets be Always Out to Let!

If Fame and Power will Cause Them to be Lost

I Sincerely Pray for a Good Job for Them, and a Saintly Boss!

Father, I Do Not Myself Forget

Keep Me with Just Enough

So that I Always Know from Whose Hand I Get My Stuff!

Never, Ever Let Me Forget Who for Me Died on The Cruel Cross

For, Lord, I do not Desire that My Soul Should At The End Be Lost.

Have Mercy, Lord, and Bless Your People

Each According as The Need for Today May Be

Enough for Self and

Enough to Share with Another!

Bless and Keep us, Lord

Grant Sweet Peace in The Night

Carry Us Safe Through The Fight

For You ARE Our God, and

We Have No Need For Another.

AMEN

HAPPY SABBATH + Bait and Switch: When Idols Walk and Talk ... for "Real!"

I recently read an article - and viewed a video - concerning the Ghost Cities which are prevalent in China as a result of a cycle of Destruction, Construction and Abandonment. 

The situation struck a note with me because it epitomized what will be the coming onslaught to be faced by the World, and foisted on God's People!

The Cities are beautiful BUT lack STAR POWER and STAR STATUS!

The way to "sell" the Properties is to LIE and to provide an ALTERNATE REALITY to get buy-in from those potential buyers who are AWED by Brand White American (expensive) and Brand Black American (cheap) with both available to BE REAL FALSE ACTORS and PROFESSIONAL ANYTHING for a price! 

Chinese buyers as bait just don't cut it so they need the foreign component!

Get an American tourist of any stripe, furnish him/her with a script, hold a grand function and let the Buy-in and Buying begin! It works!

The Concept of Image as Real is threefold:

CHINA: 
1. Real - as it stands - is not working as we desire to our projected, anticipated profit = Dead R.O.I.

WORLD: 
1. What am I getting from serving the Invisible God? = Nothing I can see, feel, touch, taste, hold, display, brag about right this very minute!

CHINA: 
2. Insert The Image as Scripted and Choreographed Reality with its Appended Accoutrements + Compensated "Real" Actors = Goal of "Success" Accomplished

WORLD: 
2. Get your "god-of-the-moment" to give you great, immediate, visually appealing, braggable gains and glories and you are "It!" and "Hip!" and "Happening!" - and everybody wants what you have, and to be who you are! Winning Formula!

CHINA:
3. End Result: People Purchase Looks Over Substance  - no matter the Value ... for the time being ... because, well, it gives the "Appearance" of Good Value to ...!

There will be Time For Regrets ... later!

WORLD:
3. Bow before the Image of Satan which has the Power to cause all, great and small, free and bond, rich or poor to receive the Mark ( of Approval!! ) of the Beast, the name or the number of the name of the Beast be killed if they won't WORSHIP the Image of the Beast. (Revelation 13:17). (Emphasis mine!)

Everybody wants the Crown - nobody wants the Cross! They don't want to do exploits or wait for "Tomorrow Land!"

Note that the Mark is to be received in either the Hand (convenience, to be able to work, i.e., go along to get along - nothing believable in this, just give me what I need to "live!") 

OR 

the Head (the "seat" of the Soul wherein is belief i.e., you have made a decision for real; this is important to your spiritual well-being)!

Christians are NOT to trust in, nor depend upon signs and wonders (appearances) to bolster their Faith in the Living God!

Christians are NOT to Trust in emotions to make #DecisionsForJesusChrist. God said:

 

Signs, and Wonders, and Emotions, are easily counterfeited, and Satan is a past master at generating these smoke and mirrors showings:

The Hook (your Desire) is Baited!

Your Eye is Filled

Your Hand is Full and then ...

The Switch is Performed and ...

You are Left "Holding" a Lead Bag

Filled with Gold-painted Lead Bricks 

Flying in a Lead Balloon Full of Holes

Wearing Lead Boots

With a Wholly Holey Parachute

To "Save" Your Life!?!

Christians need to REMEMBER that God said that our bread and water are assured! We need to stand firm and let "the king" keep his meat, sacrificed to idols!

We must not defile our selves!! Read Daniel 1.

The Word of the Lord is a Strong Tower; the Righteous run to it and are saved! Proverbs 18:10. No MAYBE'S!! DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SURE WORDS OF HOPE!

Read the Word! 
Learn the Word! 
Live the Word! 
Ignore the World! 
Embrace Faith in Jesus Christ for Provision and ...
Keep Walking ... FAITHFULLY in FAITH ... toward Zion!

*****

BAIT and SWITCH

Why should I bow to an Image?
Image is not the Real!
Can't you tell the Difference?
Image is only On Stage!

Reality is a Lie -
Everything Pretty Pork Pie In Rainbow Sky!
On Image-god You Can't Rely
Trust him ... and YOU Will SURELY Forever Die!

That Image is not Self-incarnate -
It has an Ungodly Energy Source!
His desire is not Your Welfare!
He is working to get You to lose Your Soul!

Food is made for the Belly!
Faith is made for the Lord!
Stand Firm with the Heavenly Angels!
Give all Glory to The Living God!

Faith in God will Fill Soul and Belly!
Faith in God Brings Blessing and Reward!
Filling up on "Something Without Substance"
Is like feeding rain water to a cord - no reward!

Let me make it plain for You!
God will His Glory claim!
You may play all you want with the Shadows -
Your living will be in vain!

Nine is a six upside down!
Orientation makes the value plain!
Worshiping an Image has No Value
#WorshipingAlmightyGodIsGain!

Ask God to set His Seal upon You!
Ask The Spirit to Comfort and Reign
Within Your Soul to Your Salvation
Let not Satan make Your Living a sham shame!

Worship God!
Wear a Crown!
Sing Glad Song!
Don't TurnAround!

Lot's Wife loved Life
But not enough to give up her Loot
Hence, she choose to look back at what she was losing
And instead lost her loot and her life to boot!

How Foolish! 

Let us not be foolish, too! 

Choose Real God for Real Value

Get Over Give Up The Ashes! 

Take God's True Beauty!

*******

Get God!

Give Up The Crap!

Get Great Gain in Glory!

*******


Do Not PERMIT Satan 

to 

Destroy Your Faith in God!


He Will Construct for You 

A Mansion Made of and on Sand!

He Will Then Abandon You to 

Your Just Fate 

of 

Eternal Separation from God!





KNOW THE SIGNS!!


COUNTERFEIT REALITY 

IS 

SATAN'S SPECIALTY!

*******

God - whose Name is Jealous - 

Is The Jealous God!

Almighty God Will Not Share 

His Worship nor His Glory 

with another 

"Real" Imaginary God! - Neither Should YOU!

Isaiah 43:9-10 King James Version (KJV)

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

*******

GOD ALMIGHTY, THE REAL GOD, IS REIGNING!

THE REAL GOD IS THE RIGHT GOD!!

THE REAL GOD IS RIGHTEOUS! 

and 

GOD ALMIGHTY, THE REAL GOD, IS RETURNING

TO REAP THE HARVEST OF WHEAT

and to

GATHER THE GRAPES FOR GRINDING!!

CHOOSE YOUR POSITION:

PLUMP WHEAT PLACED 

IN 

GOD'S STOREHOUSE

OR

PLUMP WINE GRAPES TO BE DESTROYED!

IT'S A CHOICE THING!

WHAT SAY YOU?
