Trust The Sure Defence!






A Buckler 
Is 
A Shield ... A Personal Defence 
So Jesus Christ The Lord
Whom We Intimately Lean Upon And Trust
Is 
Our Personal Defence
Our Shield Against Our Foes 
Whether They Are Seen Or Unseen
Known Or Unknown
Near Or Far! 

Beloved, 

We Trust Aka Depend Upon The Lord Christ For Our Defence 
Becaus
We Have Proved Aka Tried Him 
And
Have Found Him 
And
Are Finding Him To Be Able And Capable 
And
Most Assuredly Available! 

Memories And Thoughts ...

Let Us Remember What Our Lord Christ Has Done For Us
And 
Think About What He Is Doing For Us 
And
Let Us Look Forward With A Lively Hope 
To What He Has Promised That He Will Do For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Don't Trust Lying Eye-See
Deceitful Ear-Hear 
Or Treacherous I-Feel As You Make The Pilgrim Journey! 

Please Dare, By Faith, To Ever Trust 
The Unchanging, Unfailing
Unimpeachable, Uplifting 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
For Body And Soul Salvation! 

Beware
Be Prepared
And 
Don't Be Scared 
As You Hear The Harsh Words Of 
Those Who Seek To Take Away Your Free Will 
And 
Your Freedom To Choose! 

Dare To Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand Of 
Hope, Help And Healing! 

Dare To Walk In The Living, Holy, Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Which Cannot, Will Not, Fail! 

Dare To Trust The Eternal Word Of 
The Lamb Who Is The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah
And
The Rock Of Ages ... Our Sure Rock Of Refuge
Who Is A Rock Of Offence
And
A Stone Of Stumbling
To All Unbelievers And Evil-Doers! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Please The True And Living God
And
Bless Your Own Soul:
Look Up To Jesus Christ
The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith
And 
Live Abundantly ... Now
And
Forevermore ... At The Appointed Time!

DON'T PREY: Pray!



 



Being A Committed Christian Is Hard 
But 
Also Quite Satisfying
Because 
We Walk Under The Banner Of The Prince Of Peace 
Who Gives Us Oh His Peace That 
Passes Human Understanding! 

Our God Does Not Sleep 
For He Walks Too And Fro Among His People 
Over Whom Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Keep Watch 
As They Protect Them From The Schemes Of The Devil! 
Fret Not Thyself Because Of The Evil-Doers! 

Our God Keeps Detailed Records 
And 
No Wrong Done Against The Lord's Faithful 
Shall Go Unpunished! 

Beloved,

Please Keep Your Eye On The Heavenly Prize! 
Keep Your Hand On The Gospel Plow! 
Keep A Song Of Zion In Your Heart 
And 
On Your Tongue 
And 
Let Your Life Read Like 
The Living Truth That You Treasure! 

Let's Ever Remember That 
There Is No Law Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit
The Very Spirit That Our Lord Manifested 
On His Earthly Sojourn! 

Please Let The Holy Spirit Teach, Guide 
And 
Comfort You On This Pilgrim Journey! 

Judgment Day 
Is 
Coming For All Unrepentant Evil-Doers 
So By Grace ... Through Faith
Please Make Sure That You Are Not Among Them! 
Choose To Speak Peace 
And
Committed To The Cause Of Christ
Confidently ... Diligently
Go Faithfully On Our God's Errands! 

Truth Wins! 
Don't Prey: Pray!

SANCTIFICATION: The Life-Long Work ... And Personal Lots Of Land


We Are Dearly Loved By Our Creator-God
And
All The Heavenly Intelligences
And
We Are Devilishly Hated By The Satan ... The Adversary
And
All Of His Fallen-Angel Demonic Force! 

We Need To Know With Whom It Is That We Cast Our Lot
Aka Gain Our Fortune! 

Indeed, Beloved!
Look No Further Than The Word Of Good King David
- Who Made His Calling And Election Sure -
To See How It Is Done! 
He Knew His God
And
He Made His Public Declaration!

The Day Is Soon Coming 
When We All Must Make Public Our Own Declaration
Stating Clearly That It Is With The Lord Christ That 
We Faithfully Choose To Stand Up
And
To Be Counted For His Living Kingdom!

Hear, Hear!
The Handwriting Is Already On "The Wall!"


Psalm 16:5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup ...


Brethren,

When You Know Who Is Your Savior
You Will Surely Recognize Who Is Your Adversary!

Satan Is The Liar
The Thief
And 
The Destroyer-Murderer! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth,
The Provider
And 
The Life Giver-Sustainer! 
Let's Learn The Difference
And 
Act Accordingly! 

Please Remember This ... 

All Who Turn From Satan Unto The Lord 
With Humble Confession Of Sin
And 
With Repentance
Have Forgiveness For Sin 
And 
Cleansing From Unrighteousness! 

We Who Are Forgiven 
Have A Sure Inheritance In The Land Of The Blessed
A Lot ... A Personal Parcel Of Ground
As Is Promised To Those Who Are Sanctified
Aka Set Apart For The Lord's Holy Use! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Be Fooled! 
Don't Fool Yourself
And
Don't Let Anyone Fool You!

Sanctification 
Is 
A Life-Long Work
And 
Only Those Who Endure All Things For The Lord
Until The Day Of Death 
Or The Lord Christ Comes For His Children
Shall Possess The Land ... Their Inheritance! 

Talking About Being Sanctified 
Is 
Cheap And Easy
And 
Doesn't Cost Anything! 
Living In Obedience
And 
With Enduring Faith, However
Is 
Going To Be Expensive  ... Hard 
And 
Painful: Do Not Fear! 

Jesus Christ Belongs To Us
And
We Belong To Him!
Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Great Physician 
And
He Owns Everything In The Cosmos
So We've Got Means! 

Please Confidently Place Your Life In Jesus' Holy Hands
And 
Please Hold Out Your Cup For His Blessings 
By Exercising Your Daily Gift Of Faith! 

Please Choose To Believe The Word Of The Lord
And 
Confidently Choose To Trust The Lord's Sacrificial Love For You
And 
Dare To Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace Be Upon Us All
In The Holy Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ
As He Blesses Us All ... By His Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
As We Make Our Pilgrim Journey!

Let's Think About ... Home!

AMEN!!!

DENY THE LIAR: Self-Denying Endurance!

... Nobody Can Stand Her!

I Neither Like Nor Dislike Her!

I Can Barely Tolerate Her, Myself! 
What About You, Carman!?!

Do You Want The Truth Or The Facts!?!

Whoa!
This Sounds Like It Could Be Juicy!
Do Tell The Whole Story ... If You Dare!

Hi, Guys!

You're Late, Fanci!

I'm Sorry
But 
I Was Having A Real Heart-To-Heart
With Self-Denying Endurance!
I Got The Short Stick ... I Had To Share
And 
I Ended Up Having To Face Stark Facts:
I Have Got To Stop ... With Dogged Determination
Looking Back At Past Failures
Which Do Not In Any Way, Shape Or Form
Profit Me On This Pilgrim Journey!

Interesting That You Should Say That!
We Were Just Talking About Her ...!

... You Mean Y'all Were Ragging On Her Name More Like It!

Well, Yes! What Do You Expect!?!

I, Personally, Expect Nothing From You!
I'm Not Your Judge!
On The Other Hand

As A Concerned, Committed, Working Member Of This Family
I Have A Thing Or Two ... Even Three
To Say About Your Dank Attitudes!

Dear Lord, Help Us!
We're In For It Now!

The Lord Is Helping You Already!
He Has Graciously Provided For Your Spiritual Prosperity
By Providing ... In Addition To Faith, Forgiveness

Mercy And Grace
And
In One Complete, Easy-To-Utilize Humble Package
Self-Denying Endurance! 

Self-Denying Endurance Is Not Your Enemy! 
Self Is Your Enemy!
Self Is A Rabid Sinner!
Self Is A Wild Dog With Fleas!
Self Is A Trait Of The Devil
And
Self Stops You From Asking 
The Living God For Help, Please!

Self-Indulgence Is A Side-Winder!
Self-Satisfaction Likewise!
Self-Gratification Is No Better
And 
All Three Encourage You
To Ingest Camouflaged Lies!

Self-Denial 
Is 
The Gift For The Ages!
It Gets You Away From Your Self!
Endurance Is The Bitter-Sweet Pill:
It Hurts But The Reward Comes From
Outside Of Your Selfish Self!

In Combination
Self-Denial And Endurance Are Truly Unbeatable
And
Denies Satan The Joy Of The Lost-Man Kill!
It Denies Him His Much-Desired Cheap Thrill!

Fanci, We Know! How We Know!
But, Lord Almighty ... The Pain
The Denial
The Longing
The Hoping ... The Trusting
The Delays ...!

... The Momentary Anxieties!?!

A Thousand Times, Yes!

Ahem!
Have You Forgotten Who It Is That You Worship
Who Provides For
And
Daily Blesses And Protects You!?!

Have You Forgotten That
He Says That He Will Never Never 
Nor Forsake You
And
With Him As Leader
To Heaven, You Will Surely Get Through!?!

We Haven't Forgotten, Fanci!
It Is Just That Sometimes Life Is Wearying
And We Feel ... Sorry For Ourselves!

Perk Up, Brethren!
Think Of Good King Asa
And
Choose To Believe That Your God Can Save You!






I Shall Spell It Out For You, Plainly!
King Asa Knew His Kingdom Had A Great Enemy
And
King Asa Also Knew Without A Doubt That
His Savior Was The Eternal God!

The Surging Enemy That We Face Today 
Is 
The Army Of Satan
His Angels
And 
Those Whom They Manipulate Into Evil-Doing! 

They Perform Tricks And They Offer Treats ...!

... And The Lord Saves The Trusting 
And 
Blesses The Believing! 

The Lord God Almighty Leads The Child 
And 
Teaches The Humble Spirit
And 
Provides Comfort And Aid 
To The Self-Denying Enduring-All-For-Christ Soul! 

Never, Ever, Forget Who Gave Us
The Pattern For Our Can't-Lose Winning Performance!

Hard Or Easy, Bitter Or Sweet
Embrace Self-Denial
Resolve To Endure
And
Stand Against The Swarming Foe 
In Your Gift Of Jesus Christ's Faith,
And 
Unfailing Grace 
And 
Free-To-All Mercy Shall Surely Attend You
And
In The House Of The Lord
You Will Reside In Your Own Christ-Prepared Place!

Pray, Brethren!
Don't Ever Forget To Pray!


Dear Lord,
Please Grant Unto Us That Choice Blessing
Which Shall See Us
Cooperating With You Always
So That Of Your Perfect Peace
We Shall Enjoy The Everlasting Taste!

AMEN!
