Be Wise To Rise To Glory!

What Have You Done For The Master!?! 

Are You Doubting What The Master Has Done

Is Doing Or Will Do For You!?! 

Are You Contemplating 

Why The Lord Needs You To Do Anything For Him 

When He Has Everything At His Disposal 

And 

Owns Everything Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown!?! 

Beloved, 

You, Personally, Are Precious, Special, To Our Dear Savior! 

No Person Living, Dead, Dying, Denying, Defying

Rigid, Rude, Recalcitrant, Or Ruthless 

Is 

Able To Change Almighty God's Love For 

And 

Desire To Have Us Accept The Gifts Given

And 

Perform Our Assignments To Gather With Him 

As We Tell The Good News Of Free-To-All Salvation

The Living God's Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, Faithfulness 

And 

Loving-Kindness 

Which Will Never Fail Us! 

You, Personally, Are The Apple Of Our Lord's Eye

The One For Whom He Poured Out His Innocent Blood 

So That You, Cleansed Thereby And Forgiven

And 

Willingly, Enduringly, Obediently Cooperating With Him

May Have His Everlasting Life! 

Please Allow The Naysayers To Swear

And 

The Gainsayers To Bray 

But

See To It, For Love Divine, That 

You Hold To Our God's Unchanging Hand 

Unphased By Opposition 

As You Love Yourself By Loving Your Savior 

By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Obey: Don't Stray! 

Pray: Don't Run Away! 

Be Wise: Rise To Stand Before The Throne Of God 

As The Obedient Child Of The King

The Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ

And 

The Trustworthy Servant Of The Eternal God! 

Peace!

Do You Really Know ... HIM!?! When Will You Start!?! + PRAYER: I Am Cooperating With You, Lord!

Should I Not Seek To Know My Forever Friend
My Neighbor
My Host
Whose Personal Knowledge Of Me
Is Beyond Molecular-Level Close!?!

Should Not I Intimately Know Him
Who Calls Me Bride
Him From Whom I Cannot Even Ever Hope To Hide!?!

Should Not I Hold On To Him
Who, Alone, Has Stemmed Sin's Tide
Him At Whose Side ... For Eternity
I Desire To Abide!?!

And ...

Who Can Forget That With Him
I Shall To Eternity Ride
And
With Wings Of Eagle
I Shall Through The Universe Fly!?!

To Hear His Every Word Known True! 

I Desire Clean Eyes To See Truth
So That I May Discern The Lies Of The Devil!

I Desire His Heart For Mine!
I Desire That Heart Of Love That
For My Known And Own Sin
Did Sacrificially Atone!

I Need To Know Him Personally
So That, In Deed And In Fact
He May Have His Way With Me

Will Never, Ever, Turn Back!

PERSONAL CHOICE: Paradise Or Perdition?!

By Beholding Had Big Beautiful Eyes
AND
She Fixed Her Mind
On Iam Changed
Who Lived By The Law Of The Human Mind
AND
Sure Enough
Soon Enough
He Was A Goner!

It Was Enough!

By Beholding Is Modern
Was Ancient
AND
Being Ever Current
Has The New Name
- By Marriage, Of Course
Because A Good Live-With
Is Not A "The Done Thing!" 

For A True Beholding Child -
By Beholding-Changed!

By Beholding Loves Ties That Bind!

Things Were Good
Good Good
Even Great ... Until
Bad
Bad Bad
Base
Started Into And Stayed In Town!

Suddenly ...

Truth Purity And Holiness
Were Anathema!
Maranatha Was Changed Into Mas
AND
The Gold And Silver Smiths
Were Soon Rolling In Dough
Dollars Yen Euro Sterling
AND
The Tasteless gods Of WhatIFeel
Became
The Gotta-Have-It Hot Commodity!

By Beholding-Changed
Was In The Flowing Tide
AND
Went Along To Get Along
To Belong!

Pssst! Protruding Nails Get Hammered!

Soon ...

Faith Faltered
AND
Clear Gaze Was Always Cast Down!

One Day ...

The New Man
Moved Into Bessie Blessed's Old House
AND
In Short Order
He Was De Talk O' De Town!

Some People Sarcastically Call Him 

King James!

You Should Hear Him Preach ...

 ... But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

And Furthermore, All

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

By Beholding ... We're Changed!

By Beholding ... Iam Changed!

Whaaat?!

He's Calling Our Names!
How Does He Know Our Names?!

Who Cares How?!
I Want To Know Why!

Hey, Mister!

Greetings, Friends, And Not Yet Friends!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!
Why Do You Know Our Names?!

Different Town
Same Names
Same Questions
A Fact Of Life!

I Am A Messenger!
A Servant Of God!
I Have Precious Information From
The Love Letter Of The Eternal God!

I Deliver The Living Word
In Season And Out
I Speak Truth With Beauty
And I Don't Leave Anything Out!

The Words Of The Lord
Are Pure Words
Tried In The Fire Seven Times
And All Who Choose To Accept
Will Not In Fire 

Be Left Behind!

What Fire Are Speaking Of
And What Is This Left Behind?!

All Who Look Up Unto Jesus Christ
Casting Away Their Idols

AND
Setting Aside Vain Imaginings
Will Rise Up
In The Appointed Hour
To The City Of God
Ever To Abide!

Damnation's Fire
Is Prepared Of God
For Satan And His Angels
And Those Of The Willful Sinners' Cohort
Who Chose
- Despising Truth And Salvation Free -
Before The Idol
To Avidly Bend The Knee!

God Is Not Mocked!
Truth Is Not Dead!
Idols Are Useless
AND
For Our Salvation
Jesus Christ Arose From The Dead!

Let Us Be Children Of The Day!
Children Of The Light!
Let Us Not Be Drunkards
Fools And Ones Wicked
Prowling
Ravening
Used By Satan
As Disposable Tools!

Mercy Is Free!
Grace Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Full
AND
Pure Is What We Need To Be!

Perdition Or Paradise?
A Choice Must Be Made!
Just Know That Almighty God Is Eternal

AND
Idols Are By The Hand Of Man Made

So Choose Carefully The God You're Serving
For Soon
That Decision Will Be Permanent
AND

Wishing Will Not Cause It To Be Unmade!

The King IS Coming!
Be Ye Washed ... And Ready! 

Oh, Dear! Oh, Dear!

Idols Are A Snare!

We Must Change

And With Alacrity

Or

Damnation Is Ours, I Fear!

I Think That We Forgot To Remember

That Our Jesus

For Us Does Care

And

No Matter The Opposition

We Must Of Heaven

Seek The Offered Share!

Yes! Yes!

It Is Time To Turn Around!

Let's Seek The Eternal In Prayer!

Our Father, ...!

Christians Shall See POLS!?!

You Who Faithfully Carry The Gospel Of Christ
Will Be Afflicted By POLS!

Pols?! What Is Pols?!
And Whatever It Is
Is There A Vaccine Against It!?

Isn't Pols Short For Politicians?!

Yes .. But Not In This Case!

POLS Is:

• Peril
• Opposition
• Loss
• Suffering

Jesus Christ Died!
The Disciples All Experienced It
AND
Whoever Takes Up The Cause Of Christ
To Carry Forth The Gospel
Shall
- By The Hand Of Satanic Device -

Feel The Sting Of Punishing Peril
Rabid Opposition
Searing Loss
AND
Harsh Suffering!

Please Know Of A Surety
That It Is Not The Thing Nice!

The Lord Helps Those

Who Help Themselves

To A Drink Of His Mercy

Sprinkled With Grace

Lifted

By The Hand Of Faith

Yielded

To Be Molded By

The Only One

Who Is Outside

Of

Time And Space!

Walk By Faith!
Never Walk By Sight!
Trust The Word Of The Lord
For
It Will Your Heart
AND
Your Life
Exceedingly Delight!

Earthly Pleasure Is Passing!
God's Paradise Is The Place True
AND
Victory Over Sin
Is The Only Pass
That Will See You
The Pearl Gates
Getting Through!

Getting Through 
Peril
Opposition
Loss
Suffering
For The Name
AND
The Word Of The Lord
With Enduring Faith
AND
Unyielding Obedience 
AND
Absolute Trust
Gives Paradise
To The Remnant
That Faithful Few!

I Am Striving For The Win!
Are You?!
Won't You?!

Seek

Eternal Life

Over 

Temporal Property!

Father, Forgive Me!

Heavenly Father,

I come to You  today with a contrite heart and beseech Your forgiveness.

I ask you, Lord, to forgive me for all the times I did not trust You to make 

a way for me; for all the times I ignored Your wise counsel not to make 

a move and paid a heavy price for disobedience; for all those times that 

I have been willful, and hard-headed and chose to walk in my own wisdom; 

for all those times I chose to ignore  conscience and knowingly did what 

I knew to be  wrong in Your sight. Oh, Father, forgive me! Father, I beseech

You to forgive me for my often lack of faith in You, my Almighty God.

I beseech You, Father, to forgive me for the many times I have given

You my burdens only to take them back and made matters worse.

Father, I am sorry for being an often wayward child, and I ask You to help

me to stay on the straight and narrow path, and to always 

do right even in the face of rabid opposition.  Father, I love You, and I ask

these mercies in the name of Jesus Christ, the Righteous, and I thank You for

hearing and answering prayer. AMEN.
