Vertical And Ventilating
Was Conversing With
Horizontal And Belly-Aching
Who Always, Always, Always
Has A Reason To Explain Away
His Perpetual Vegetating!
Vertical And Ventilating
Loves, Loves, Loves
To Give Thanks And Praise
To His Maker, His God
And
Absolutely Refuses To Act The Ingrate
Like The Adversary Of Souls ... Satan
The Known God-Fraud!
Verti Has Much For Which To Be Thankful!
Apparently, Fluffy-Belly Does Not!
Imagine This ...
The Family Of Man ... Created By Almighty God
Lives On Earth ... Created And Maintained By Almighty God
Enjoys The Lord's Bounty ... Created And Provided By Almighty God
And Yet Most Of Its Members Are Card-Carrying
Practicing, Unapologetic, Ingrates!
Lord,
Please Spare Us The Ingrate's Fate!
Let's Hear Truth ... For Today!
Thanksgiving
Is
Very Thin On The Ground
Where We, Humans, Are Concerned!
We Ask For
And
We Receive Our Petitions Of The Lord
And
In A Revolting Display Of Ingratitude
We Dine And Dash
We Grab 'N Go
And
We "Forget" That
We Are Surely Going To Need His Help Again!
We Behave Like We Are Doing The Lord A Favor
By Accepting His Gifts Of Love
When, In Fact, He Owes Us Nothing!
We Owe Him Everything!
And Then ...
There's That Phrase:
"... And Call Upon Me In The Day Of Trouble...!"
How Do You Feel Calling Upon The Holy God
Whom You Have Roundly Disrespected
Ignored
Taken For Granted
Gainsaid
Doubted
Denigrated
When You Are In Sure-To-Come Trouble!?!
Do You Experience Any Pangs Of Remorse
For Your Oversight
For Your Past Lack Of Thankfulness
For All The Good And Perfect Gifts
That The Loving God Holy Has Lovingly Given Unto Us!?!
KJV Jeremiah 13
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
KJV Jeremiah 13
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.
The Lord Is Touched ...
KJV John 11
35 Jesus wept.
KJV John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
KJV Matthew 4
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Lord Sends Messengers To Warn ...
KJV Ezekiel 33
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
KJV Ezekiel 18
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
The Repentant Understand Truth
And Do Soul Searching ...
KJV 1 John 1
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
KJV 1 John 1
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
KJV 1 John 1
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Take Warning ...
KJV Jeremiah 22
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
KJV Jeremiah 22
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
KJV Jeremiah 10
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
KJV Ecclesiastes 6
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
KJV Ecclesiastes 6
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
The Lord Reasons ...
KJV Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
The Lord Blesses The Faithful ...
KJV Psalms 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The Lord Is Pleased
When We Choose Him ...
KJV 3 John 1
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
The Lord Accepts Our Word
And Gives Us Him Promise ...
KJV Deuteronomy 26
17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
Thanks And Praise
And Worship Are Comely ...
KJV 1 Chronicles 16
8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Tell The Good News To The World ...
KJV 1 Chronicles 16
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
KJV Isaiah 26
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
The Godly Profess Their Confidence in God
KJV Psalms 123
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
KJV Psalms 119
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. NUN
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Brethren,
We Have The Holy God
Who Loves And Sacrificially Cares For Us!
Please, I Beseech You
Do Not Allow The Sacrifice Made In Your Name
To Cast Down To The Ground And Trodden Underfoot
Because
Of Pride And Arrogancy
And
The Desire To Fit In With The Dying World!
The World Cannot Save Itself
And
You Cannot Save Yourself ... Or Anybody Else
So Take The Sure Shot
For The Guaranteed Win
And
Walk Softly Before The Lord
In Full Confidence Of Deliverance
From Your Known Sin!
Remember:
Only Jesus Christ Blesses
Helps, Heals
Provides And Protects
Saves And Succours
Forgives From Known And Repented Of Sin
And
Eternally Seals!
Please Permit Him In Your Life To Guide And To Lead:
As Our Advocate Before The Father
For Us Individually
- With His Innocent Blood As Surety And Security -
The C.O.P.S Were Out And About
And
Certain People Who Shall Remain Unnamed
Were Not At All Happy About It
Because
Whenever The C.O.P.S Showed Up
It Was Because Somebody Had Acted Out
And
There Was The Need To Make All Wrong Things Right!
These Beings Shone Light!
The C.O.P.S
Cure
Obscure
Procure
And
Secure Are All Straight-Shooters
And
They Do Not Indulge In Games-Playing! Speaking Truth
And
Doing Right Are Their Daily Delights!
Truth Be Told ...
If There Was A Lil' Problem
Cure Showed Up ... With The Solution!
If The Lil' Problem Was On Steroids
Second Man Aka Obscure
Was The One To Lend A Hand
As He Sought To Highlight The "Obscure" Details
Involved In The Dilemma
To The Saving Of The Soul!
Procure Was The Third Pair Of Eyes
And
Whenever He Showed Up
The End Result Was Someone Cried
When He Swiftly Downed Hand In The Miscreant
And
Patiently Set Him Straight!
He Never Raised His Voice!
Nobody Ever Told Procure Lies
Because
His Big Brother Secure
Always, Always, Always
Followed Him Through The Door!
He Always Took Prisoners!
Heaven Forbid, Though
If Those Four Showed Up
At One And The Same Time!
This Is Their Way:
Don't Do Wrong!
If, However, You Do Wrong
Confess Immediately
And
Repent!
If You Do The Thing Twice
Get A Grip On Yourself
Look Up To Jesus Christ
Look Inside
Set Aside Self
And
Get Rid Of The Pride
Because
Humility Is Not Something About Which To Be Snide!
If You, Being Brilliant
Aggressively Insist On Doing Things Your Way
Then
Houston! We Have Ourselves That Thing Called A Problem
And
We Need To Fix It Fast!
Everybody Knows That Bad Men
Bad Women
Bad Children
Can't, Won't, Don't, Last!
Enter ... 2019 ...
Pardon My Foreign Language
But
2019 Is A Proven Prized Bastard
Who Seems Intent
On Ridding The Town, City, State, Country
The World
Of Anybody With A Heartbeat
And
He's Doing His Business With Panache
Uttering Words Profound!
And
He Dearly Loves Those Who Love Things Called Assinine!
His Best Thought!?!
Bloody Guts Makes Good Garters!
The Stench Needed For That Goal
Rendered His Life "Divine"
Or Whatever That Means To Someone With
No Conscience
Deaf Ears
Blind Eyes
Absent Heart
And
The Will To Want To See Men Burn!
It's Enough A Christian's Stomach To Churn!
2019 Is In The Palm Of Satan's Nasty Hands
And
He Doesn't Care Who Knows
Who Sees
Who Cries
Who Dies!
After All, Says He:
I Can't Last Forever
So
Why Should You Children Of The Dust
Live Longer Than I Will!?!
He Is Something Else!
But ...
Glory Be To The Father
Jesus Christ Is Real!
Jesus Is The Lord Of Life
And
At Providing Grace And Mercy
He Cannot, Will Not, Fail!
Let's Glorify Almighty God
And
Praise Our Savior, Redeemer, Christ Jesus
Who Has All Things Under His Sovereign Control
And
Will Not Be Upset Or Caught Off-Guard
By Satan's Minions, Henchmen
Yes-Men, Pawns
All Those Who Are Inept, Miserable, Ungrateful, Trolls!
Heyyyy, Bonitz! Long Time No See! How Are You Doing!?!
I'm Good, Carey!?! What About You!?!
I'm Doing Well
And I'm Praising God, And Grateful!
I Haven't Seen You At Church Lately! Are Things Okay!?!
Things Are Going Well! I Have A New Church Family And I'm Having Loads Of Fun!
New Church Family!?! What Do You Mean!?!
You Haven't Heard!?!
Heard!?!
Heard What!?!
We All Go Down To CCM!
CCM!?! Never Heard Of It!
You Must Be Kidding!?! Girl, It's The Fastest Growing Ministry In These Parts With Standing Room Only For All The Services!
Really!?! Please Tell Me More And Start With That Name! CCM Sounds Kinda Catchy!
CCM Stands For Cafeteria Church Ministries And ...!
... That Pastor Must Have Been Seriously Ragged Growing Up With A Name Like That!
Oh, No! You're Mistaken! The Pastor's Name Is Idetentee Jusso! Cafeteria Is Cafeteria As In Food Service Make Your Selections Pay Your Bill Take A Seat! Enjoy Your Meal!
Huh!?!
Seriously! We Decide What We Want To Hear When We Want To Hear It How We Want To Hear It And To Our Individual Tastes And Temperaments We're Suitably Edified:
No Hurt Feelings! No Guilt Trips! No Fear Of Flames! Total Inclusivity! Rainbow Warriors! Personal Truth! Authentic Living! No Sinners! All Saints! No Sin! All Salvation! Common Good! It's Amazing, And I Love It!
You Would!
Pardon Me!?!
Oh, My! That Doesn't Sound Good! Uh, Which Bible Are You Using!?!
We Don't Use A Bible Bible! We Have A Good Book Of Great Truths With Daily Affirmations And Selected Messages From All The World's Great Religions! After All, All God's Are Equal!
Wow! That Sounds Like ...! I Wonder What The Spirit Is Like In Your Service!
Girl, It's Off The Chain! Everybody Is Happy, Excited, Laughing Rocking, Running And So, So, Very Loving! Miracles Abound!
Signs And Wonders!
You Hit The Nail On The Head! Signs And Wonders Always Appear And Pastor 'Tee Always Gets A Word And A Wonder From On High Whenever He Sits In The Great White Throne Chair!
Achooo! ACHOOO!
Bless You!
I Feel A Cold Coming On!
Are You Still Praying!?!
Oh, No! We Are One With Our Lord So There Is No Need To State The Obvious!
So Oblivious!
You Mean Obvious!
No, I Said What I Meant! You Are So Very Oblivious To The Truth! You've Broken The Trust And Your Carnal Lust Is Propelling You!
You Once Claimed Christ As Savior Lord And Master And, Now Instead Of Progressing You're Making Retrograde Steps! You're Letting A Charlatan Tickle Your Fancy Tickle Your Ears And You're Indulging Raging Lusts Instead Of For Heaven Getting Yourself Prepared!
Did Not The Lord Christ Warn Us To Not Let Anyone Deceive Our Souls!?! Did Not The Savior Warn Us That Satan Does Appear As An Angel Of Light Wearing Bright And White Clothes!?!
Don't You Know That We Are Not To Be Comfortable Living In Sin And Loving Self And Sin!?! Don't You Remember That In Order To Withstand A Spiritual Attack That To The Savior We Must Stay Attached!?!
Answer A Question For Me:
What Is Your Pastor Ideetentee's Definition Of Sin!?!
What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Sin!?!
Lord, Preserve Me! Okay, Okay! What Is YOUR Definition Of Sin!?!
My Idea Of Sin Is Unique To Me! What Is Sin To You Is Not Sin To Me! My Experience In My Personal Life Determines How My Traumatized Child Manifests Now In My Adult Life And Is, Therefore, Subjective Hence, For Me There Is Nothing Called Sin To Infect To Restrict The Actions Of My Life! Only Self Can Define What Is Sin!
Ahhhm, Where Is Jesus Christ In All Of This!?!
What About HIS Definition Of Sin!?!
Oh, That Definition Was Fine Back Then But We Are Evolved And Knowledge Has Increased! We Do Whatever Makes Us Happy! No Harm: No Foul! We Have Run To And Fro Around The World And A Consensus By The Great Minds Has Been Reached:
Take Care Of Mother Earth
Have Respect To Father Time
Be Kind To Our Animal Brothers And Sisters
Do Lots Of Good Works, And
Laud Self Above Everything
We Are No More Slaves! We Are Sure To Do What Makes Us Happy!
Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me!! Lord, Please Give Me Strength!
You Are Being Deceived And You Know It! There Is No Man Comfortable In Sin That Is At Peace With The Holy God! You Are Playing With Fire For You Are Shacking Up With King Fraud!
I Know That You Are A Parent! Would You Give Your Child Whatever It Wants Encouraging It To Do Whatever It Pleases Including Living Wild Ignoring The Obvious Rules Of The Road Oblivious To Certain Peril Just Because Desire Is Always To Be Satisfied!?!
Of Course Not! That Would Be Very Foolish Indeed!
Dear God And Father Of Mankind, Forgive Our Foolish Ways! Please Tell Me, Then In The Name Of All That's Holy How You Can Think To Do An End-Run Around The Living God Your Father Which Is In Heaven And Get Away With It!?! The Lord Has Given Us Rules For The Road The Right Way To Live How To Be What We Can And Can't Do How To Come How To Go What To See What To Know Because We Will Be Reaping That Which We Sow!
Remember The Word:
No Man Can Stay The Hand Of God
Who Is The Righteous Judge
And
Faithful Paymaster Of Us All!
Has The Good Life
In This Happy Place That You Are Inhabiting
Caused You To Forget That
There Is No Changing Of Status
No Second Probation
And
No Do-Overs After Death
Nor After Christ Comes!?!
Uh, Ah, Umm ...!
What's Wrong!?! Have You Lost Your Mind And Your Tongue Also!?!
I, Uh, Ahmmm ...!
What's The Matter With You!?!
Come On! Speak Up!
I, I, Can't!
I'm Soooo Unhappy!
Please Help Me!
But You Just Said How Happy You
And You Were Gushing About
All The Fun You're Having
With Your New Church Family!?!
I Know ... I Lied ...!
Come And Let's Sit On The Veranda
And You Can Tell Me The Truth!
Oh, Dear!
You're Not Going To Like It!
If You Say So
But Tell Me Anyhow!
45 Minutes Hours Later ...
Bonitz, Please Listen To Me Carefully:
A Fire Too-Hot Too Fast Too Furious Always Has An Accelerant!
A Christian Too Righteous Too Religious Knowing It All In One Day And Being Too Blessed To Be Stressed Always Having The Sure
And
Perfect Words For Self And Other's Answered Prayer Also Has An Accelerant And Is Not Guaranteed To Go The Distance Because Of A Thing Called Emotionalism!
Since Salvation Is A Process - The Work Of A Lifetime - Emotionalism Is Not Going To Survive The Upward Climb Where Slow And Steady Grace And Mercy Faith And Work Obedience Defiance Of The Devil And His Pretty Works And The Slow And Steady Day By Day Plodding Is An Endurance Walk
And Not A Buggy Race For The Exertion Averse Is The Only Thing That Works!
There Is Only One God Holy!
The Other "Gods" Of The Earth Are False
And Can Never - Will Never - Be Equal To The Eternal God!
What Is Ours To Know Us Is Plainly Revealed In The Living Word ... Preserved
By The High And Holy Hand Of The Eternal God
And
Anyone Who Adds To The Word
Or Takes Away From The Word Of Almighty God
Is
By Almighty God Cursed!
Revelation 22 Makes That Clear
And
The Wisest Man In Proverbs 30:6 Makes That Abundantly Plain!
Miracles And Signs And Wonders
Are Not To Be Taken As Proof Of
Almighty God's Favor Or Approval!
Satan Has The Power To Work Miracles
To Agitate Nature
The Weather - The Book Of Job Proves That -
And
Within The Boundaries Decided By The Living God
He Can Destroy A Person's Health
Wellbeing
And
Prosperity!
Understand And Accept This ... The Lord God Cannot
Will Not
Stretch The Truth Or Tell A Lie
To Get You To Believe In Him
Or To Trust Him!
In The Economy Of God
It Is All About Faith!
You've Been ... Unwisely
Trusting In Your Lying Eyesight
And
Overwrought Emotions
And
You Have Permitted A Real Charlatan
A Wise-Acre Hustler
A True Con-Artist
To Relieve You Of A Goodly Portion Of Your Parents' Hard-Earned Money!
The Lord Had No Mansion
No Big Ride
No Servants
No Bank Account
And
He Did Not Speak With A Forked Tongue
Or Encourage His Followers
To Finance His Speculative Interests
Since He Had None!
The People Of God
Need To Be Wise As Serpents
And
Harmless As Doves!
There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God!
Do You Realize
Do You Know That There Is
Joy And Peace In Believing The Living Word
The Choice Promises Of God!?!
Do You Recognize
Do You Accept That
When You Stand Aka Believe
And
Live In The Security
The Protection Of The Word Of God
That There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause You To Fret
To Be Anxious
To Be Afraid
To Doubt
To Disbelieve
That All Things
- Good, Bad, Ugly, Painful, Hurtful, Wicked -
Work Together For The Good Of
Those Of Us Who Are The Called
According To His Purpose!?!
The Lord Is Calling You!
Are You Answering!?!
I Am Trying ...!
When We Recognize That
This Life Isn't About Our Selfish Desires
That We Are Here In Boot Camp
Preparing For A Can't-Fail Mission
Under The Leadership Of A Can't-Lose Commander
Against A Can't-Win Adversary
For The Assured Glorious Prize
Aka The Purchased Redemption
We Walk Like Winners
We Talk Like Winner
We Live Like Winners
We Live Like Overcomers
We Live Like Saints ... Blessed
Bold
Bought
Believing
Bound ... For The Promised Land!
Jesus Christ Promised
Jesus Christ Bled And Died
Jesus Christ Got Up And Rose Up
Jesus Christ Is Preparing A Place
Jesus Christ Is Interceding
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back ... For Us
Who Believe His Word
Trust His Character
Live In His Light
Keep All His Commandments
Bless Him By Blessing Others
Telling The Good News
And
Are Washing Our Clothing - Our Character -
In His Blood
Shed For Every Man!
Almighty God Is Ever Good ...
It Took A Miracle
And
It Requires Our Faith ... Believe Him
... And Live!
Trust Him At His Word ... And Obey
Because
He Helps ... And Heals!
He Saves ... And Seals!
He Leads ... And Reveals!
He Opens ... And Closes!
He Knocks
And
He Ably Protects All His Flocks
In All The Various Congregations
And
He Is Assembling Them ... Us
His Children
His Brethren
Into The One ... The Only
Safe And Secure Fold!
Hurray For Woolly Sheep ...
A Lil' Faith Goes A Long Way
And
That Lil' Faith ... Exercised
Grows Into The Unwavering Faith
That Shall See Us Safely Esconced
In The Eternal Home!
There's Always A Hairy Goat ...
A Lil' Doubt
Is
Like Active Yeast:
It Changes The Structure Of Faith
And
Belief!
It Erodes Confidence In The Glorious King
And
Robs One Of The Peace Of God
The Likes Of Which
There Is No Counterfeiting
No Faking!
Sweet Girl, You've Got Some Hard Questions To Honestly Answer!
Where Do You Stand!?!
Upon Whom Will You Henceforth Rely!?!
Are You Among The Kingdom Bound
Or
Are You Among The Wafflers
The Fence-Jockeys
The Doubters Damned
Those Flattered, Filled, And Fatted
On The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eye
The Pride Of Life
Those Who ... In The Day Of Vengeance
To The Rocks And Hills Shall
Uselessly Cry!?!
Truth Stands ...
Blessedly ... For Us All
U-Turns Are Permitted
Encouraged
In The Lives Of Those Who Finally See The Light!
Confession And Repentance Are Blessed Gifts
In The Lives Of Those Who Desire Spiritual Success!
Don't Be Among The Helpless
The Hopeless, The Hapless! Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Reigning, Ruling, Returning
And
Only Those Standing
Living And Abiding In His Love
Shall On The Wings Of The Wind
To Zion Be Riding!
