PRESUMPTION : FAITH!

Faith And Presumption
Are Adversaries
AND
That Is Gospel Truth!

Faith Claims God's Promises
AND
Bears Obedience
That Good

Very God Fruit!

Presumption
- By Contrast -
That Bold Fellow He
Lays Claim To God's Promises
Without Fidelity
AND
All That He Brings
Is Windblown Fruit
For
He Uses The Promises
To Excuse Transgression
AND
He Is Bold, Bold

AND
Rotten To The Root

To Boot!

Faith Is Not Presumptuous
AND
Presumption
Cannot Ever Of Faith Assay
AND
All The Brethren
Need To Know
How To Recognize That Difference
Or
For Own Sin
They Will Surely Have To Pay!

Faith Is An Open Door!
Presumption Is A Hardened Cell
Locked
AND
Neither Can Suffice For The Other
AND
Of This Fact
All Mankind
Should Surely, Surely, Take Stock!

Faith Walks Not By Sight
BUT
Presumption Lives In Flood Light
Ever Assured
By What It Can Machinate To See

AND
Always Rolling Black Dice
Ever Hopeful
Of A Free Golf Tee Fee!

In Faith Resides Trust!
In Presumption Lies Lust
Of The Eye
Of The Flesh
In The Pride Of Life
AND
All Who With Presumption Consort
Will Never
Ever
With The King Of Life
Have An Eternal Part!

Presumption Is ... Sin!

And

The Wages Of Sin Is ... Death!

And

Dead Men Can't Talk

So

... Obviously ...

Dead-Man Talk

Won't Cause God's Punishment

From You To Walk

UNLESS

The Talker

Has Taken

Is Taking

The Talking With Jesus Christ

Believing Him

And

Trusting Him For Eternal Life

Walk!

Where You At?!

JESUS : Always!?!

Jesus First!
Jesus Last!
It Is With The Lord Jesus
That My Lot Is Cast!

I Think You Forgot One!

I Doubt That!
If I Have Jesus First And Last
I Done Gone Home When He Comes!
I Hope He Comes Real Fast!

I Pray For You!
I Truly Do
For It Seems That You've Forgotten
Overlooked
Disremembered
Or Set Aside The Fact
That
You Should ALWAYS
In All Ways
For Always
Through All Ways
Because Of The Devil's Ways
Because You Don't Know The Way
Have Jesus With You!

Aren't You Being Just A Teensy Weensy Presumptuous?!

Not At All!

Really?!

Really!

You Better Back Up That Mouth Of Yours
With Some Facts
Or I Shall ....!

Or You Shall What?!
You Just Stellarly Proved My Point!

Huh?!

Yup!
To You

Jesus Is A Catch Phrase
And Dare I Say

Like A Comfortable Shoe
BUT
You Forgot To Make Him
Your Necessary Walking Stick StandAlone!

IF One Knows That One Has A Handicap
AND
Needs To Have A Physically-Stable Walking-Support
One Gets
AND
One Keeps
AND
One Maintains Constant Contact
With Their Walking Support
So That They Don't

Fall Short
Travelling On
The Right And Perfect Way!

Ahhm ... What Did You Just Say?!
Speak Street
For I Am A Layman
And I Have Not A Clue
What You Have Said
For
I Have Not A Handicap
Nor Impediment That I Can See
And
Furthermore
I Don't Even Know why
You Are Even Speaking To Me?!

Okay.
I'll Break It Down For You:

You Are A Human
Your Handicap Is Sin
Jesus Is Savior
Your Healer
Your Necessary Support
So That You Don't Fall In Sin!

He Is There So That
By Faith
- In His Help -
You May Be Held Up By Him
AND

Continue
On The Path To Life
Fully Supported
Be Upright Walking!

No!

Yes! It Is True!
With Jesus Holding You Up
Satan Cannot Knock Out
His Support From Steadying You!

And, And
I'm Speaking To You
Because
I Sincerely Care About You!

Wow!
I've Never Heard Jesus Explained Like That
And I Never Though
About How
Jesus First And Jesus Last
Were Attached!

I Simply Assumed
That If I Have Him
First And Last
That That Meant That I Have Him
Like How You Have A Flask!

Sym,
Let Me Tell You
You Are Not Alone
I Was Like That
Until The Day I Had To Walk Alone!

First,
I Did The Assume Thing
And Found A Donkey Leading Me
AND

As For That Flask
You Should Have Seen Me!

Life Gave Me The Tall Flask
Supposedly Containing Cooling Cure-For-All Tea!
That Flask Was Truly Heavy
So I Put It In The Cares-Of-The-World Bag
That I Studiously Carried Around
Every Single Place With Me!

As So-Called Fate
AND

Time Would Have It
I Needed A Cooling Respite One Day
AND

I Opened That Bag Of Cares
AND

Lifted Out My Heavy Flask
AND
It Being Light
It Hit Me 

"Wham!"Dead In My Face!

Wait A Minute!
You Said That That Flask Was Heavy
With Cooling Cure-For-All Tea
So How Did It Get Light?!
Were You Drinking From It Constantly?!

Not At All!
I Was Just About To Pour My First Cup!

And ... You Just Lost Me!

You Received It Full!
You Had Never Opened It!
Yet It Is Empty!
Maaan, I Can't Wait To Hear This Explanation!

I Was Dazed
Just As Are You!
I Shook The Flask - No Sound!
I Unscrewed The Cap
AND LO AND BEHOLDThat Flask Of Cure-For-All
Had No Stopper ...!

Ha Ha Ha!!

Why Are You Laughing!

Been There Done That!

Then Why ...?!

Why Am I Not Further Along?!

Yes! Yes!
You Can Say It That Way!

I Am Not Further Along Because
A. My Head Hard
B. I Am Stubborn, and
C. I Needed To Hear Your Witness
Obviously!

Seriously, Though
I Had Never Been Told
Or Never Had It Properly Explained
That The Life Lived In Christ
Is More
- Much More -
Than Start And Finish
Beginning And End
First And Last!

No One Has Ever Explained
- I Mean Really Explained -
That Life With Christ
Is A Constant
A Continuity
A Living With Its Highs And Lows
Humps and Grumps
Good Days Bad Days
Joys Sorrows
Ever Learning
AND
Most Important Of All
Coming To The Conclusion
That Jesus Is
All And All
AND
Acknowledging His Rights
To Our Person
AND
Being Glad About It!

The Student Is Become The Teacher!

Not Really!
I May Be Hard Headed
But When I Reach Understanding
That Knowledge Belongs To MeAND

I Completely Embrace It
No Matter Where It Leads
Or Who It Offends!

You Know
That Is Where All Christians Need To Be
For That Is The Truth
That Comes Of The Text

I Love You!

Give Us A Cuddle!

Muah! Muah!

I Am Heading Outside!

So Am I! 

Let's Walk Together!

Yes, Let's! 

We Agree!

Expectations And Ends

What Is The Difference Between A Christian And Satan?

Satan 

Believes In, Loves, And Lives For 

The "I" aka Self!

But

The Christian 

Believes In, Loves, And Lives For

The "I AM!" aka The Living God

The God Of All Above And Below The Sky!

That Difference Is As Real As Life And Death!

Soon ...

Hey, Dependent!

Who You Calling Dependent?
I Am An Independent Personage
I Would Have You To Know!
I Depend On No One!
I Set My Clock To Wake Me Up Each Day!
I Put On My Glasses
On My Own Two Eyes
AND
I Know Where I Am Going!

I Put On My Own Self-Bought And Paid For Shoes
On My Own Two Feet
AND
I Go Where I Please!

I Sit Down How I Like
AND
Where I Like!

I Lie Down As AND When I Choose!

I Come AND Go As I See Fit!

I Chose What I Wanted For A Career
AND
I Chose Where I Wanted To Work!

Earth Is My Oyster 
AND
I Pick My Own Pearls!

I Am Independent!
I Need Nothing From Nobody
Or
Put Another Way
I DO NOT Need Anything
From Anybody
So, I, Therefore
Am Independent I Tell You!
IN - DE - PEN - DENT!

Wow!
No Need To Bus' A Gut!
You Seen To Be Seriously Suffering From i-Itis!
AND ...
I Still Say
You Are DEPENDENT!

Grrrrrr!!
I Am Not ...!

Save It!!

Who Sustains Your Life?
God.

Who Created The Earth?
God.

Which Planet Do You Live Upon?
Earth.

Who Created The Vegetation On The Earth?
God.

What Is Your Favorite Vegetable?
Yeah For Carrots!

Who Created Carrots!
God.

Who Sends The Water And Causes The Sun To Shine
That Makes Your Favorite Carrots To Grow?
God.

Are You Still Independent?
Ahhmmm ...!

Is There A Problem?!
Ahhmmm ...!

Cat Got Your Tongue?!

One Last Question ...
Do You Enjoy Human Interaction And Companionship?

Of Course! Who Doesn't?!
I Love Talking To My Best Friend
And 
My Sweetie Pie And I 
Go Out To The
Parks
And
I Am
Blessed By
What G ...OD ...!

I Rest My Case! 

*********

Beloved,
Even If We Live In Ivory Towers
In Rarified Environments
We Are Dependent Upon
Some Body For Some Thing
AND
Assuredly
Upon Almighty God
For Every Conceivable Inconceivable
Possible Impossible
Imaginable Unimaginable Thing!

We Are Only Independent

When Each One Of Us Has Created

Our Own Selves

Our Own Planet

Our Own Atmosphere

And

Can Readily Self-Sustain 

Our Own Self-Made Lives!

Let Us Not Be Unwise!
Let Stop Following The Illuminated
Self-Deceived Ones
AND
Become Wise Unto Salvation
AND
Give Unto The Only Self-Existent
Eternal Living Holy God
His Glory!

Let Us Think 

Seriously 

About Our Own Constructed End

AND

Reconcile It To God's Words:

And Heed The Fact That
