I Do

Believe You

Ascending Prayers?! + PRAYER : Lord, Help Us To Be Humble

It Was Week Of Prayer
AND
Lican Pub
AND
i-See Phar
Were Standing Before The Assembly
Sending Up Prayers
To The Great Throne Of Grace!

Before I Proceed ...

I Should Tell You That
These Two Brethren Of The Faith
Were As Different As
Night And Day
Hot And Cold
Nice And Nasty!

Their Occupations
Were As Different As
A Thief And Thunder
A Teacher And A Technician
A Pharisee  And A Publican!

Still Further ...

I Shall Inform You That
One Of These Men Had Almighty God
Preserved
In His Back Pocket
AND
One Of These Men Had Almighty God
Treasured
In His Heart!

One Of These Men 
Believed 
Almighty God Needed To Hear His Self-Praise
AND
One Of These Men
Knew 
That He Needed To Hear A Word Of Healing 
From Almighty God!

I Must Now Offer Up ...

A Word Of Caution
As It Pertains
To Our Uttering Of Our Prayers
AND
The Entering Into God's Ears
Of The Prayers Of Our Hearts:

Humble Is

As Humble Does!

Prayers To God

Should Not Contain The Fuzz

The Fuzz Of The Suppliant

In Love With Himself

Who Believes

He Is Doing Almighty God A Favor

When

Before God

He Self-Lovingly Praises Himself!

Just In Case
You Think I Am Talking Folly
Just Remember That The Living God
Is
All-Seeing 
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
That Is ... Again
The All Mighty!
He Created Us!
He Sees Us!
He Knows Us!
He Records
ALL Our Ways
AND
He Is Not Fooled
- Like Mankind -
By Our Grandiose
Verbose
Yet Triflingly Self-Righteous 
Displays!

Man Looks Upon
The Exposed!
God Looks Upon
Our Concealed-From-View-Hearts
AND
Be It Made Known
That Speaking Down To God
Is What We Do
When We Lift Up To God
Swollen Heads
AND
Puffed-Up Hearts
Sold As Humble Meat Stew!

We Cannot Sell God
On Our Perfection
Like Some Jacked-Up Used-Car Salesman
For 
The God Of Grace And Mercy
Is Well AND Truly Aware
Of All That Is Concealed 
Under A Coat Of Paint
With
The New Mixed With Spent Oil
AND
Our Shamelessly Proclaiming To The World
"We Are Good To Go!"
Just Because
The Ignition Turns
AND
Our Engine Does Start
AND
Our Triumphant Processing Along
The Golden Way
In Full Lying Display!

I Leave You
To Draw Your Own Conclusion

BUT ...

Before I Do

I Leave You With This
Work Of Heart:

i-See Phar
Proud
Arms Uplifted
Head Raised
Praying
With Himself
Said:

"Lord, I Thank You That
I Am Not A Sinner Like Other Men
Like That Publican Over There!"

BUT ...

Lican Pub Prayed
Head Bowed
Not Daring To Raise
Even An Eye To Heaven
Saying:

"Lord, Have Mercy
On Me ... A Sinner!"

I Now Ask You
To Render A Righteous Judgment
To The Question Of:

Which Pray Did Almighty God Accept Into His Ears?"

I Now Ask Us All
To See
AND
Understand
The Method
Employed By
His Wickedness Himself - Satan
To Stop Our Prayers
From Ascending
Unto The Holy God!

I Implore Us All
- When We Physically Bow Before God -
To Decidedly
Bow Our Hearts To God
In Our Prayers And Supplications
So That God Will
In Jesus Christ's Blessed Name
Receive Into Himself
All
Our Petitions!

I Say Unto My Self:

"Physician, Heal Thyself!"

PRAYER:

Father,

Forgive Us Today

Even As We Pray

If A Little Of Self

Gets Into The Way

As To You We Repair!

Lord,

Help Us To Let

The Holy Spirit

Take Control And Lead Us

Even As We Ask You

To Daily Feed Us!

Help Us, Father

To Give Unto You

Our Selves 

As Well As 

Our Fears And Our Cares

And Help Us

To Be Ever Humble

Before You

As We Ask You To Fix Us 

And Our Fumbles!

Pity Us, Lord!

In Jesus' Name We Plead

For We Love You!

AMEN

Christian Lamentation + PRAYER: Lord, Call Your People Out

I Had No Revelation!
I Saw It With My Own Eyes!
Men And Women Preaching "The Gospel!"
Telling God's People
Great And Lofty Lies!

God's Word Has Been Elevated
Denigrated
To Where God Is The Currency Exchange
You Put In Your Seeds In Denomination
AND
Your Prosperity Becomes Healthy
Like A Chicken On The  Free-range!

The Bible Speaks Of The Time Coming
When Men Will Not Tolerate The Sound Word
Generating For Themselves False Teachers
- As Can Be Seen -
Who Are Card-carrying
True Members And Leaders In
The Evil Big Goat's Fallen-Away Herd!

When A Preacher Can Stand Before The Congregation
And Say That Satan Is Giving Him A Word
And Just ... Side Step
As Though It's Not A Problem
You Know That That Man Cannot Ever Be Teaching
God's Living And True Holy  Word!

And ... 

WHen You Have A Lady Preacher
Having An Orgasm As The TV Cameras Roll
And Keeling And Carrying On In Bliss
And Telling Her Audience 
It Is "The Holy Spirit" In Her
Moving
You Must Know
That Demons At Work 
Is Stamped Plainly All Over This!

And ... 

When You Hear A Dollar-Preacher Telling The Congregants
That When You Have Sex With A Christian Brother Sister
That They're Really Having Sex With Almighty God
And Using Matthew 25:40
To Prop Up The Work Of The Fraud
You Have To Know That Satan Is That Preacher's True Master
And Not 
The Living True And Holy Eternal God!

It Is Sad
To See So Much Demonic Activity
Plain
Among The People Of God
Who Are Living On Loving The Lies Of The Sandman
Unaware
OR
Don't Care
That There Is A Tsunami Coming
BUT
For The Hirelings
Persist 
In Calling It A Regulation High Tide!

PRAYER

Lord God Almighty,

Father Of Faithful Children

Whose Personal Sacrifice Of The Beloved Son

Gives Us Leave

Upon You To Call

Have Mercy On The Household Of Faith

And

Let The Loud Cry Go Out!

Call Your People 

From Amongst The Whitewashed Tombs 

To Come Out!

Let The Latter Rain Pour Out!

Let The Holy People

God's Truth Shout Out

And

At The Jouney's End

Take Us Out Of This World Of Sin

To The Home Where Peace Is Walking!

In Jesus' Holy Name We Plead

Father, Please Don't Leave Us Out!

We Love You, Lord

AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, Remember Your Promise!

Today,  Dear Lord

I'm Requesting

A Pair Of Blinkers

For My Eyes

To Keep Me Looking Forward And Upward

To The Happy Home On High

But

Not To The Left Nor Right!

Help Me,  Lord

Not To Be Side-Tracked

By All The Clamor And Confidence

Of Mere Men

Who

Even Through Their Hustle And Bustle

It Can Be Seen That They Are At Their Very Wits' End!

Lord,

The Road Has Been

And

Is Long

But I Have Arrived 

At Peace With And Through You!

Help Me Not To Give It Up

For Biscuit And Butter

That Is Gone Before I Can On It Fill Up!

Lord,

You Promised The Faithful

Provision - Bread And Water Secure!

Please, Help Me To Hold On 

For Your Hand Of Provision

So That I May Have The Right To The Tree Of Life

AND

To Walk Through Heaven's Gate Door!

Remember The Holy People

AND

Your Promise

To Preserve Our Souls!

Remember, Lord

That We Have Given Ourselves To You

And That We Believe That We Are Not Our Own

AND

Help Us To Walk On In Faith

With Our Backs To This Deceitful World

Our Shoulders To The Straight-Gospel Plow

Our Hearts Set To Heaven

AND

Our Eyes Fixed On The Eastern Sky!

Prepare Us, Lord

To Meet Our God

For

We Are Your Children!

Please Take Us Safely Home

For

Jesus Christ We Claim

AND

In Him We Make Our Stand.

AMEN.

Efficacious Cure For Sin

Committing Sin Is Very Easy
BUT
Repentance For Sin Is Where The Pain Starts!

Saying "Sorry!"
Is A Sharp Nail
In A Broken Spirit
And A Contrite Heart!

Asking For Forgiveness
IS 
The Bitter Pill Swallowed!

Turning Away From The Past 
IS
As Walking On Broken Glass
AND
Looking Back To Go Forward
IS
To See Blood
Christ's Blood - Shed for Our Sin
Spread 
Voluminously
Washing Away:

Malice
Hate
Envy
Greed
Wickedness
Wastefulness
Wildness
Recklessness
Fornication
Adultery
Murder
Covetousness
Licentiousness -
SIN!
Our Sin
Against God
Almighty God
Who
Could Have Finished Our Journey
In An Instant
BUT
Desiring That None Should Be Lost
Sacrificed His Heart
To Save
Our Heads!

SIN

The Dreaded

Body Soul Spirit Hope 

Destroying Disease!

The Lord JESUS CHRIST 

The Only Efficacious Cure

That Returns 
The Repentant

To Life Now

AND

Unto Eternal Life Later!
