Humble-Pride!?! Prideful-Humility!?!

There Can Be No Pride 

When We Are Praying To Or Praising The Lord God Almighty! 

Beloved, 

When We Approach The Throne Of Grace

It Is For A Purpose Which Should In All Aspects 

Please Our Creator 

And

Should Ever Be For His Glory And Our Good! 

Can You See Why The Lord Accepted The Prayer Of 

The Publican Who Recognized His Wretched Condition 

And 

Saw His Great Need For 

The Mercy, The Saving Grace, Of The Eternal God 

But

Summarily Rejected The Pompous, Privileged

Posturing Pronouncements Of The Prideful Pharisee 

Who Behaved As Though He Was Doing The Living God A Favor 

By Cataloging His "Virtues" 

In That Very Public Sphere For The World To Hear!?! 

Dear Ones, 

If There Is Even The Mildest Stench Of Pride In Our Prayers

We Have Got Ourselves A Problump 

Aka A Problem Which Will Cause Us To Be Lumped With The Proud

Disobedient, Unrepentant Workers Of Iniquity! 

Let's Make It A Point 

To Ever Remember To Humble Ourselves 

And

Pray 

And

Seek The Lord's Face ... His Presence! 

Pride Got Lucifer Evicted From Heaven: 

Pride Will Keep Us From Entering! 

Please Remember Also That 

There Is No Such Thing As Humble-Pride Or Prideful-Humility! 

There Are No Two-Color Saints' Robes: 

The Robe Of Righteousness 

Is

Clean And White Linen! 

Please Make A Note 

And 

Behave According To Your Preferred Eternal Destination's 

Code Of Conduct! 

Peace!

You Can, Indeed, Pray Without Ceasing!

"Pray Without Ceasing!" 

Is

So Simple A Command That 

It Should Shake Us To Our Very Core

Make Our Eyes Flare

And

Cause Us To Say: 

"Yes, Lord!"  

Praying Raises Us Up To The True And Living God 

And 

Unceasing Praying States That 

In Accord With The Command

We Are Drawing Close To Our Eternal God 

As He Is Drawing Close To Us! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Christ Invites Us 

To Come Into His Presence Without Fear 

And

To Leave Our Burdens In His Care 

But

We Have So Much More To Do! 

Unceasing Praying Says That 

We Believe The Almighty God 

And 

We Are Willingly Submitting To Him

Confessing Our Sin

Laying Out Our Petitions

Pleading For Help

Interceding For Others

Giving Thanks To Our God For All That He Has Done

Is Doing ... And Will Do

And 

Praising Him For Who He Is To And For Mankind As A Whole 

And

To Each One Of Us Personally! 

To Prove That Praying Without Ceasing Is Possible

Dare To Take A Day And Deliberately Choose To Pray 

Every Time You Hear An Ambulance Or An Aircraft Go By! 

The Responders Are Ministering God's Grace: 

The Person Is In Mortal Distress! 

The Myriad Souls Aboard The Various Aircraft 

Are In Physical, Mental, And Financial Distress

And 

Emotional Upheaval 

And

In The Valley Of Decision: 

Reach Out In Their Behalf To The Father

In The Name Of Jesus Christ Who Loves, Cares For

And 

Forgets Not His Own! 

Praying In Faith 

And

With Humility 

Is 

Power And Powerful: 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Be Righteous 

So That Your Praying Accomplishes Much! 

Peace! 

Don't War Against The Lord!

 

Please Do Not Permit 

The Monied, Powerfully-Mesmerizing Yet Aging Sages 

On The World's  Glittering Stages 

To Stop You Or Encourage You 

To Stop Giving Glory To Almighty God 

For All The Good Things That He Has Done 

And

Is Doing In Your Life! 

Please Don't Lie To Yourself 

And 

Deceitfully Say That 

It Was Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother

Boss, Preacher, Doctor, Politician

Aunt, Uncle, Or Best-Buddy Dear Friend 

Who Abundantly Blessed You 

With This, That, And The Other Needed Thing! 

If The Lord Of Grace Does Not Speak To Human Hearts 

And 

They Cooperate With The King Of Glory

No Earthly Favors Will Be Afforded To Any Of Us! 

The Unregenerated Heart Of Man 

Is 

Desperately Wicked 

And

If You Believe That Wickedness 

Desires Your Good Health, Healing

And 

Physical And Spiritual Prosperity

"Good Luck!" With That! 

Good Luck 

Is 

Not A Godly Construct 

And 

Neither Is Godly Love From A Wicked Heart! 

Almighty God Is Love: 

He That Does Not Know Almighty God 

Cannot Express Love Of The Godly Sort! 

Beloved,

Our Arch-Enemy ... Satan The Damned

Always Has Something New, Novel

Bright And Shiny 

And

"Absolutely Necessary To Have" 

To Distract Us From The Right 

And

Deceive Us Into Wrong-Doing! 

Be Alert And Prayerful: 

The Lord God Almighty Inhabits Our Praise! 

Trust The Living Word ... Not The Dying World! 

Please Don't Be Unwise

And

Be Like The Otherwise 

And

Foolishly War Against Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Peace!

 

Held By Grace And Power?!

I Was Held By Two Hands!
I Could Get Away!
I Could ... If I Wanted To
By It Was For This
That I Had So Fervently Prayed!

I Am Gently Held By
Grace To Cleanse
AND
Power To Heal
The Great Champions Of My Lord
God Almighty!
Oh, How My Heart The Blessing Did
Does
Feel!

Grace To Cleanse
Is Unassuming!
Power To Heal
Is No Gully Bore!
These Two Are On A Mission Of Restoration
AND
These Hands
Will Deliver A Repentant One
Right To Heaven's Gate Door!

I Could Escape!
I Could Run Away!
I Could Back Away From Them!
I Could Attack Them!
I Could Even Call Them Pond Scum
IF
I Was A Child Of The Devil
Which
- Thank God By Jesus Christ - 
I Am Not
So
I Am Accepting These Hands
AND
I Shall Not From Them Run
For
They Work For The Living God Of Heaven!

They By God's Sweet Spirit
Shower Free Mercy
On The Living Disgrace
AND
They
Oh, So, Gently
Remove The Dross Of Sin
AND
Rain Down With Power
The Shower Of Blessing
AND
Soon
There Is The New Heart Within!

Oh, How I Love Jesus
The Holy King Who Loves Me First
And Best
And Most
And Longest
The Eternal King
Who By His Personal Sacrifice
For My Own Known Sin
Did The Curse On My Life
Reverse!

I Am The Child Of The Heavenly King!
I Shall His Praises Sing!
I Shall Pray With Power
This Day
Right Now
AND

Forever
AND

I Shall Tell The Old, Ever New,  Story

With Love By Faith

AND 
With Kingdom Power!

Into Thy Hands, Lord

I, Believing You

And

Trusting You

At Your Holy Word

Commend My Spirit!

The Morning Of Bliss Is In Our View!

The Surrogates For Satan
Are In The Operational Mode Earth Conservancy
Never Considering
Totally Ignoring
Desperately Despising
The Eternal God's Sovereignty
AND
Corralling People Into Small Spaces
Igniting Firestorms Of Evil In Their Midst
AND
Encouraging Them To Kill Each Other
So That "The Once Dying Now Man-Saved Earth" 
Will Give The Celebrated
Illuminated
An Image Of  Perfection And Bliss!

God Destroyed The Earth Before With Water!
This Go Around It Is Reserved For Fire
AND
There Is Nothing That The Devil And His Imps Can Do
- By Themselves
Nor By Man's Hand -
That Will Cause The Earth
Early To Expire!

The Lord Made A Promise To His People
A Promise  Signed Off On In Innocent Blood
That He Is Coming For His Elect
- At God's Perfectly Known And Appointed Time -
To Take Them Us To His Home
In Heaven Above!
God Is Faithful!
He, To Us, Is Love!

Just As When The Lord Was In Mount Sinai
AND
The Earth Shook And Convulsed
In His Presence
The Closer That The World Gets
To The Lord's Second Return
All Nature Convulsing
Is What We Can Expect!

The Lord In Zion Reigneth!

Oh, Let His People Rejoice!

Acknowledge

The Sure And Plain Signs

Of

His Soon Coming

And

Don't Let Doubters Stay

Your Rejoicing Voice!

Sing Of God's Grace!
Christ Is Coming In Glory!
Sing Of The Homeward Bound Train!
Sing A Joyful Hallelujah!
Sing It, Brethren Faithful!
Sing It!
Again, And Again!

Rejoice! The Lord Is King!

The Devil's Days Are Numbered Few!

Our Sorrow Has Had Its Night Of Weeping

But, Praise God

The Morning Of Bliss

Is In Our Upward View!

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul
With All Your Being!
Salvation Is Coming On The Wing!
The Hosts Of Heaven Are Coming
AND
We Shall Be Celebrating Our Victory
With Our Glorious King!

Sin Death Hell And Satan
Are Already Defeated
So
Walk Firmly As One Taking The Victory Lap!
Walk Boldly As One Beckoned
To The Glorious King's Presence
ACKNOWLEDGING
That Our Victory Is Of The Holy God!

Give Nothing To Satan

That Condemned

And

Damned

Prosperity-Benighting

Fraud!

Looking Back ...!

Sin Tried To Kill Me!
I Cried Out In Despair
AND
Salvation Intervened
AND
Love Aka Life
Poured Out
Grace And Mercy
AND
Made Me Alive!
Jesus Christ Saved Me!

I Had To Take Medication!
It Was The Bitter Pill!
It Drew Out The Offal In My Life
AND
Confession
AND
Repentance
I Did Spill!

I Had Walked Right
In My Own Sight!
For Correction
I Gave Neither A Ripe

Nor

A Green Fig!
I Lived For The Dance!
The Party!

The Prance!

AND
If You'd Looked Closely
You Would've Seen Me
Doing The Jig!

That's An Old Word ...!!

... And It Suitably Describes 

My Old Life!
I Did The Hop
The Skip

AND
The Jump

AND
I Did The Bossa Nova

AND
I Energetically Shook My Rump
AND
I Ignored
Family
Friends
AND
Dear Faith
AND
As For The Lord Christ
If I Had Been A Smoking Person Then
I Would Have Blown Smoke Right In "His Face!"

Goodness!?!

You May As Well Say
"Gracious!"
For That Is What Christ Is
For
When My Fun-Bubble Broke
He Did Not Leave Me
On The Disbursed Rubber
To Choke!

Lord, Have Mercy!

Oh, Yes!
God Did Have Mercy
In The Person Of
The Lord Christ
Who
In Love
AND
With Great Compassion
Disclosed
The Way I Was Walking
AND
Revealed
The Working Of Sin
That Satanic Device!

Only Jesus ...!

... Only Jesus
Could Save Me From Self ...!

... That False God!

Only Jesus Could Save Me
From Receiving
My Share In The Devil's Reward
For
I Was Bent On Destruction!
I Was In Self-Destruct Mode!
I Was Moving Full Speed Ahead
I Was Heading For
The Mother Lode
Condemnation
Damnation
Lake Of Fire
Eternal Separation
From GOD ...!

But ... GOD?!

But, God
Placed
Before My Very Face
Answers
To Questions
I Wouldn't Articulate!

Don't You Mean Couldn't?!

No, I Don't!

If I Had Asked "The Questions!"
I Would Have Had To Stop
Playing
With The Devil
But, Man
That Party Was Hip!
That Party Was A Hit!
That Party Is Hot!
There I Was Spinning Like A Top!

Oh, My!

Oh, My Life Was In Toilet!
I Was In The Personal Stall!
I Was Handling My Business
AND

I Was Brooking No Intervention
At All
Until
The Results Wouldn't Flush
AND

The Engineer Of Life
Came In
AND

I Had To Regurgitate
The Refuse Of My Life!

Believe Me

When I Tell You That
My Head
My Heart
My Hands
Even My Heels
By Then
Were Seriously Hurting

BUT

The Engineer
Was Not Unkind!

He Offered Me Hope!

He Said I Was Amongst
The Blessed
That My Cup Had Not Overflowed
Else
When I Flushed
I
AND
My Mess
Would Have Gone Down
Into The Pool Called Cess!

Dear Lord!!

The Dear Lord
Who Is The Father
Of My Kind
Forgave Me Of My Seriously Foolish

AND

Grossly Complacent Ways!
He Reclothed Me
In My Rightful Mind
AND
I
- Now In His Service -
A Purer Life Did Find
AND
In His Presence
I Offer Deep Praise!

Gloryyy!

Glory Be
To The Father
And To The Son
And To The Holy Ghost
Which Spirit
Fell Upon Me!

I Am Satisfied With Jesus!
I Have Little
BUT, GOD!Is In It!

I Recognize
That There Was One
Who Was Willing
To Die
In MY Stead
So That I
So Unworthy
Might Live ...!

... Nailed To The Cross!

My Sins Are Nailed
To His Cross
AND
He Fills Me Now!

I've Got Joy!
I've Got Peace!
I've Got My Jesus
Since From Sinning
I've Been Released
For Jesus Came Into My Heart!

I Trust Him
For
He Throws Out ...

... THE LIFE LINE!

Amen, Amen, Amen!!

Be Still My Soul

The Lord Is On Your Side!

Praying ... Praying: Believing!

Our Job
Our Work
Our Task
Our Consuming Endeavor
Is To Pray 
AND
Believe
That God Hears
AND
Provides
That Which Is
For Our Good
AND
For His Glory, Saints! 
This Must Be Accepted!
This Must Be Understood!

We Are Called To Pray
AND
That Without Ceasing
Believing That Our Holy God
Is Faithful 
AND
True
Knowing
AND
Without Doubt
That He Will Take Personal Care
Of Me And Of You!

In The Day Of Our Praying
Please Pray As One Truly Believing
AND
Don't Forget To Attach:

"Lord, Do All
According To Your Will
And In Your Way!"

For There Is No Disappointment Ever Felt 
If We Pray Like That!

Please Don't Try
To Make Bargains With God
For
God Is Almighty
AND
Cannot Be Coerced!

Remember, I Beseech You
That There Are Things
That God Longs To Give Unto Us
BUT
They Will Be Received
Only
If We In Prayer Ask!

Go Boldly
To The Throne Of Grace
For
Your Humble Prayers 
Can Move The Hand Of The God
Who Created The Universe
AND
Your Believing Prayer 
In The Ear Of The Eternal God
Can Cause Misfortunes
To Be Permanently Reversed!

BUT ...

Ask Thou In Faith
Nothing Wavering!
Believe That What God Says He Will Do
He Will Do!
Go
AND
Lay Down Your Hoped-For Petitions
AND
See
Your Faith
- The Faith Of Jesus -
Work Wonderful Miracles For You!

Our Father Knows Best!
Man's Curses Are By God Reversed
BUT
Don't Indulge In
The Sin Of Presumption
For That Will Make Bad Things 
A Lot Worse!

Humble
Faithful
Trusting
Believing
Honoring
Praising
Worshiping
AND
Always 
AND
Again Believing
AND
Praying The Promises
- Self Not Deceiving -
Look Unto Jesus
For
In Him
God's Blessings
We Shall Indeed Be Receiving!

Believe!

Pray!

Believe!

Work!

Believe!

Watch!

AND

Pray

All The Way

Every Single Day

Hoping In God

For

This Is What The Living Word Says!

Wrong Is Wrong Is Right + PRAYER : Lord, Keep Your Promise

We Have Rights
To Do Many Wrongs!
We Have Rights
That Make God Frown!
We Have Rights
So The Wicked Leaders Now Say
To Sit Down To Eat
AND
To Rise Up To Play!

It Is Put Forth
By Those In Long Sleeves
That Lying Down With Dogs
Does Not Give A Person Fleas
That Worshiping The Sun
The Moon And The Stars
Is All Good And All Right
AND
For The God-given Soul
A Perfect Delight!

One May Kill Granny
One Can Kill Gramps, Too
One Can Kill Baby
AND
One Can Kill One's Own Self, True
BUT
Killing A Career
Is A Murder Profound
AND
Failing At Self Promotion
Can Get One Run Out Of Town!

One May Praise Satan
BUT
One Must Pillory Almighty God!
One May Proselytize For The Devil
BUT

One Cannot Proselytize For The Creator God!

One Is Apparently Free 
To Chop Off The Head Of A Christian
BUT

One Is Frowned Upon

For Killing A Roach
AND
Singing A Song Of Zion
Will Get One Free Transport To The Lockdown Hotel - No Joke!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord,

Have Mercy On Us

For Worshiping You

Is Set To Cost Your People In Some Countries

A Fee!

Good Is Now Stated Evil!

Evil Is Called Good!

Sweet Is Now Bitter

And

Dark Is Now Where Light Stood!

True Worship Is Worthless

And Defilement Is Become A Free-To-All-Comers Delicacy

And

It Is Stated That If I Give You The Finger 

It Would Make Me A Good Buddy!

Lord,

Truth Is In The Street Fallen

And Justice Has Removed

The Blinders Off Her Eyes!

Mercy Is A Meddler!

Liberty Of Conscience Is Denied

And Liberty To Worship The God Of Our Fathers 

Is Maliciously Being Denied!

Father,

We Are Free To Do Wrong

But Wrong To Do Right!

Have Mercy On This Fallen Race

For We Are Living In A State Of Disgrace!

Father,

I Choose Your Love

Your Light In Your Word

I Choose Bodily Destruction Before Dishonoring My Lord!

I Know I Already Have An Immortal Body Waiting

In The Kingdom Of Light

So,  Father

Keep Your Promise

And Let My Faith Become Sight!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN!
