Self Control Is A Road A Vehicle On A Road A Seat In A Vehicle On A Road!
Self Control In A Man Is A Steering Wheel In The Hand Of The Man In A Vehicle On The Road Called Life!
Self-Deceit Sin AND Disaster Are Deep Ruts In The Road Of Life When Man - Any Human - Has No Self Control!
This Man's Vehicle Is Vanity Intemperance ... His Wheels AND His Fuel Is Dirt Cheap Because He Buys It
At Mobile Gas Station I-Feels!
Who ... But A Fool Drives A Vehicle With No Engine Or Sits In A Vehicle That Has No Seat Cushion
AND Whose Brake Line Has No Fluid AND Of Direction Has ... No Notion?!
Who ... But A Fool Will Deign To Have A Feast In A Speeding Vehicle Possessing Neither Wind Shields No Doors?!
Can You Drive A Vehicle That Has No Spark Plug?!
Who ... But A Fool Blindfolded Inebriated
AND Going The Wrong Way Gets On The Expressway Of Life Racing A Vehicle With A Broken Axle?!
Let's Get Real ...
The Man The Woman The Child Without Self Control Is A Weapon Of Mass Destruction Stuck
In Self Destruct Mode Wise
In Its Own Eyes Confident
In Its Own Prowess Sure That Its Cause Is Just Ignorant That It Is Being Purposefully Driven By Lust Of Its Own Eye AND Lust In Its Own Flesh For That That Is The Pride Of Its Own Life!
Let This Be Made Known ...
Self Control Is As A Coal From The Altar In The Temple Of The Living God Retrieved By The Good-Influence Angel AND Carried With Tongs AND Placed With Due Care On The Tongue Of The Blessed The Sanctified One!
Self Control IS The Gift Of God!
Self Control Is The Great Reminder!
DO NOT ACT LIKE:
KING SAUL
Grieving Away The Holy Spirit
GENERAL MOSES
Striking The Rock At The Waters Of Strife
NADAB And ABIHU
Placing Strange Fire On The Holy Altar Of Almighty God
ACHAN
Stealing The Dedicated Things
KING DAVID
Fornicating With Bathsheba
Murdering Uriah
KING SOLOMON
With 700 Wives And 300 Concubines Out Of Known Idolatry
... I Had Left The World In Practice AND Not Too Long After My Spirit Followed BUT You Must Understand That It Was A Fight For My Spirit ... For A Time
Still Basked In The Things-Of-The Wicked-World Glow!
I Still Wanted To Go With The Flow!
That's The Truth! I Know!
I Had Thought Nothing Of It For I Was Done With The Allurements Of The World Until The Day I Heard The Trumpet Calling AND My Hair Started To Curl!
Shocked ... I Cried Out:
Lord,
What Meanest This?!
I've Forsaken The World
So Why Is My Spirit
Desiring A Worldly Twirl?!
I Got Out The Old Bible And Had Me A Look Through AND Then The Story Of Lot And His Family Was Under My Review!
I Read It! I Pondered It! I Read It ... Again
AND
Knew That The Key To My Problem Laid In The Person Of Lot's Wife Who Loved Life In The Flesh Pot More Than The God Who Staved Off Sure Destruction So That Through The Gate To Salvation She Could - With Alacrity - Walk Through!
The Things That One Loves Are The Things That Hold Dominion Over Body And Spirit AND You Can Be Sure
That - With Wisdom - They'll Never Attend The Faith-In-God's-Word Cotillion!
Control Of The Spirit Must Be Given Over To The Savior Or Else Spirit Will Encourage Carnal-Minded Body To Indulge In Known Unseemly Behavior!
Lot's Wife Loved Her Things More Than She Loved Her Life AND Her Love Of Her Perishable Things Cost Her ... Her Unregainable Life!
Living In The Flesh Is Looking For
Embracing Death AND Death Is Disguised As Looking Good At Living Life Until Death Is Unmasked After You - Lost - Die!
Come On!
How Is Unmasked Death Profitable To The One Who Dies?!
It Isn't! It's A Cautionary Tale For The Living Teaching Them Not To Despise The Blessings Of Heaven AND Not To Be Ruled By The Devil's Leaven!
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
Is The Recipe For Disaster AND Many Are They Who Stoke The Damned Devil's Laughter By Not Committing Body AND Spirit To The Care Of The Lord AND Walking, Walking Talking In Inharmonious Profession In The Face Of The World In The Sight Of The Eternal God!
What, May I Ask You Is An Inharmonious Profession?!
That's When Your Walk And Your Talk
Don't Comport aka Align aka Line Up!
Exactly!
Yeah! They Talk Turkey And Walk Duck!
What I Still Don't Understand Is The Correlation Between You And Lot's Wife?!
Lot Ran A Godly Operation AND It Is Assumed ...!
... Careful Wielding That Assume Thingy!
It's A Side-Winder!
Will Do! We Take For Granted That Lot's Wife Was A Godly Person BUT If You Look Closely You Will Plainly See
That In The Hour Of Her Trial Her Love Of Her Possessions
AND
Apparent Status Rendered Her A Woman Starkly Ungodly - Plainly Idolatrous - For Her Things Obtained Her Worship AND In The Day Of Escape Her Spirit Was Behind Her
- She Seemingly Felt That God Had Dealt Harshly With Her - Esconced In The Damned City AND SOHer Quivering Flesh Concerned Fearful For Its Welfare Wittingly Wilfully - Slighting The Eternal God's Grace - Did Look Back ...!
... And Death Attacked!
That's A Shame ... A Disgrace!
I Get It! I Get It! Her Spirit Led Her Eyes So She Looked Back ... Twice! Her Heart Was In The Doomed City So Her Body Wanted Yearned To Be There And, So Her Eyes Thereto Turned!
How True! Your Spirit Controls Your Body Unless AND Until You Turn Over Self - Completely - To The Lord Of Life - Totally - To Make The Way For You In The Carnal Strife!
Well Put! God In - Self Out! Self In - God Out!
Man Cannot Serve Two Master For One Will Be The King And The Other Will Be As Broken Plaster And Therein Will Lie Sure And Real Disaster!
Man Needs To Learn This Lesson For Life Faster So That The Lord Of Life Will Be Their Only Master!
Look Around You! Take The Tour! God Is Truly Blessing Us And That's For Sure!
Come On, Letsy! Surely You Don't Believe What You Just Said?!
Sure, I Do! Pastor Says That Visible Prosperity You Know Houses, Land, Toys, Trips Discretionary Cash, Nice Clothes Beautiful Furnishings Are All A Mark Of God's Favor!
Okay. Okay. Nothing Wrong With What "The Pastor Said!" BUT Can You Tell Us - Me And You - What Almighty God - In His Living Word - Says?!
Well, It Is Like This ...! The Lord Said ... Says ...! I Am Sure That The Lord Said ...! Wait A Minute ... What DID The Lord Say?! Mercy Me! I Don't Even Know What The Lord Said!
You Should Hold Your Head Down ... In Shame!
Don't You Read Your Bible?!
Not Really! There's No Need!
You Can't Be Serious! Why Not?!
Pastor Says ...!
STOP! JUST STOP!!
You Can Tell Me What "Pastor" Says But You Don't Know What The Eternal God The Savior Of Your Own Soul Says?!
Dear Lord!
This Is Eden All Over Again!
The Creature's Words Have Power
But The Creator's Word
Is A Mere Squeak!
Pity Us, Father!
Who Is Your Pastor Working For?! Himself Or The Living God? Or Is It Possible That He Is Working For That Wannabe God King Fraud?!
Shut Your Mouth!!
I Will Not!
You And I Are Going To Have A Coming-To-Jesus Meeting For You Have Surely Lost Your Way And Are Babylonian Sweet Cakes Eating!
Yum! I Like Sweet Cakes!
Yes! I Can See That But I Am Sure That You Will Not Like These Babylonian Sweet Cakes! Their Leavening Ain't From The Lord God Holy And Divine Friend Of Mine!
You're Serious?!
Yes, I'm Serious! All This Stuff Piled Up And Your Wayward Pastor-Inspired Erroneous Thinking Has The Sulphurous Stench Of Satan Reeking From It!
Come On! That's Melodramatic! It Can't Be That Bad!
It's Worse!
Gain Is Not Godliness BUT Godliness ... WITH CONTENTMENT Is Great Gain!
From The Look Of This Place And Your Rabid Spending You Are Not Inhabiting A Contented State!
What You Are You Doing Later?!
I'm Doing A Mall Hop! I'm Going ShoppingI
I Want To Buy ...! Ohhh, Dear!
Yes ... Oh, Dear, Dearie!
Have you Ever Seen A U-Haul At The Cemetery Gate Carrying The Deceased One's Beloved Possessions?! Or Have You Ever Heard A Dead Man Speak About Refitting His House Or His Going On Vacation?!
Girl, You Are On
A Build A Bigger Barn Shopping Spree AND
It's Not Going To End Well!
How Dare You?!
You're Just Jealous!
If You Say So.
Things Are Here To Make Us Comfortable! We Are Not To Get Comfortable With Things For Things Are Just That ... Things! No Heart - No Soul Inanimate - Cold! Just Like Belly Fat They Don't Love You AND Just Like Belly Fat The Rush To Grasp Things Will Kill You Just Like A Cat Will Kill A Rat!
Only Problem, Though The Inordinate Desire For Things Will Ultimately Kill You Twice! It's A Satanic Device!
But Having Things Is Such Fun! They Are So Shiny! That New Merchanchise Smell Is Sooo Delicious And Best Of All
It Makes Me Feel So Very Prosperous! Ahhhhh! The Thrill Of Acquisition!
Lord, Have Mercy
On Your People Today
Who Erroneously Believe That Feelings
And Things Possessed
Will Cause Them To Enter Heaven
On The Great Day!
Letsy ... How Did You Get Here?! You Used To Unfailingly Trust God! How Did You Arrive At This Cross Road Between King Jesus And Satan That Murderous Fraud?!
I Don't Know! Maybe I Just Got Tired Of Being Poor And Always Wanting ... Never Having Anything Beautiful ... !
... So You Listened!
Listened!? Listened To What?!
The Siren's Song!
What Are You Talking About?!
RiCaP!
What Are We Recapping?!
Not That Kind Of Recap!
RiCaP - Riches! Cares! Pleasures! The Big Three That Satan Uses In Playing The Game Of Life Where The Holy Grail Prize IS The Human Soul!
Don't Say That! You're Scaring Me!
Good!
If You Were Not Being Scared Then All Hope Would Have Been Lost BUT
Your Being Scared Says You Can Find Comfort At The Foot Of Christ's Cross!
Mirrie? Can I Tell You A Secret?!
You Know You Can!
Well ...
It's Like This!
Someone Across The Quad Reported Me To The Co-op Board And I Received A Warning Letter That If I Don't Get Rid Of All This Stuff ...!
... Well, It Is Piled To The Ceiling And It Is A Fire Trap!
... They're Threatening To Evict Me!
Please Help Me!
Tears Followed! Hugs Pursued! Prayers Were Sent Up AND
Comfort Ensued!
Things Are For Comfort! Things Should Not Comfort Our Souls For In That Instance Things - Not The Living God Get The Worship Not The Maker Of The Soul!
Look At The People Around You! Look At The Things For Which They Do Care! Look At How And What For They Acquire Riches! Look At What They Take Pleasure In From And For Each And Every Day AND Consider - For Just A Moment - Where Jesus Christ Is In Their Fraught Lives AND Decide For Your Own Soul - Your Own Self - With Whom For What Where Your Soul's Salvation Lies
ANDIn The Name Of Jesus Quote Live In Live For Jesus!
Your Pastor Needs Jesus, Too For
He Can't Save His Own Soul Far Less Save Yours No Matter How Much In The Great Day You Boo Hoo!

I once let My Eye Lead Me Down The Primrose Garden Path And when The Journey was all over I had purchased for Myself a Golden Calf! My Eye had an annoying habit Of buying what did My stomach overfill And it always left me feeling Like I was a trussed-up chicken waiting For the Butcher to come and kill! You would think that I would acquire some Commonsense But you would be wrong on that very score I again let My Eye make another purchase And Hell came knocking trying to break down My front door!
Lord, if ever I needed You
Today would be The Day
Please Help Me for
Devil Dog and You Ate Bought It
Are playing "We Got A Covetous Pup To Make Pay!"
Lord, I know that I have been Seriously Lawless
But I finally have had My Fill
Lust of This Flesh
Lust of My Eye
Pride of This Life
Have been holding sway
But if You would condescend to help a Foolish One
I promise to live My Life evermore as You Command
Help Me, for I'm about to be undone!
"Child, rescuing You is No Condescension
When Lifting You up is My Sacrificial Goal
Repent, turn away, walk on in My Light
And soon You Will Walk on The Eternal Shore.
Turn, turn, away from The Dead Things
The Dying Joys of The World
Come to Me - I AM Your Savior
With Me Life Ends in Great Reward!"
From That Day until This Day On which we are conversing I have put My Shoulder to the Gospel Plow And by God's Grace and a Living Faith I'm Walking Straight and Behaving like Chubby, The Contented Cow!
