Everything

That Agrees With

The Ways Of The Prince Of Darkness!

Willfully

Wisely

Agree  With Everything

That Guides Me To Your Truth

And

Helps Me To Walk In Faith 

In The Ways Of The Prince Of Peace

The Lord Of Light And Right

The King Of Glory!

Lord,

You Have Declared In Your Holy Word

That In This World

We Will Have Tribulation

But

You Did Not Leave It There

And Us Alone

For

You Also Emphatically Declared

That We Are To Be Of Good Cheer

Because

You Have Overcome The World

So, Father Of The Faithful

I Take Your Side In The Strife 

And

I Acknowledge

That There Is Covering For All

Who Will To Be Saved

Into The Everlasting Kingdom

To Be Protected Through The Strife!

I Believe Your Promises! 

I Trust Your Character! 

I Accept Your Bounty Of Blessings

And

Your Graces A Myriad!

I Fall Upon Your Mercies

Distinctly New Each And Every Day

And

In Jesus Christ's Faith

I Call On You In Prayer

To Bless Me With All Blessing

As I Seek Your Face

To Do Your Will

Moment By Moment

Throughout The Known Blessed Day!

Please Remember The Sin-Sick

The Sorrowful

The Pitiful

The Sad

The Widow

The Orphan

The Known Sinful

And

The Rich Man Whose Riches 

Do Not Make His Gross Heart Glad! 

Please Also Remember The Little Children

Those Small Ones

And The Ones Aged

To Shed Upon Them Your Holy Light

To Show Them Your Limitless Love

To Teach Necessary Truth

And

To Guide Them

In The Way To Walk Right

So That They May Become

To The Glorious Living Kingdom

An Everlasting Delight!

You Have Told Us, Lord

That We Are Worth More Than A Sparrow

Even If We Don't Dress And Live 

Like The Fallen World's Kings

And

For This, Lord

We Are Trusting Your Promises

Which By Sacrifice

You Made To Us Already Dead In Sin

And

Made Available To Us

Just For The Asking

And

The Accepting!

Please Grant Us Your Peace!

Please Give Unto Us Your Rest

And

Bless Us To Daily Shine The Light

In The Dark World

And

Speak The Truth

In And Out Of Season

So That Men Will See Our Good Works 

And

Glorify Our Father

You, Who Are In Heaven!

You Are Our God

The Only One Holy

And

We Daily Depend Upon You

And

Worship You

And

Give Unto You

All Glory, Honor And Praise

And

Ask That You Grant Unto Us

These Few Petitions

For

We Ask All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN

HAPPY SABBATH + The Prince Of Peace!?!

Jesus Christ The Righteous
IS
The Prince Of Peace
Who Brought A Sword To The Men Of The Earth
Which Sword Is Sin Relief!

Here We Go Again!
Another Conundrum!

A Peacemaker Who Carries A Sword?!
Wow! I'm Under Overwhelmed!

Bite Yer Tongue!

Hey!
Wasn't A Peacemaker A Gun In The Wild West?!

Yes, It Was
But You Need To Widen Your Focus!

How?!
Every Peacemaker That I Know Off
Started A War!

Widen Your Focus ... Out And Up!
Think Vertically!
See Through The Eyes Of Faith
That Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us!

Oh! My Bad!

Why Did Cain Kill Abel?!

Cain Was Disobedient Presumptuous And Jealous
Aka Wicked!
Abel Operated Under The Obedience Of Faith!

Abel's Righteous Works Accused Cain's Disobedience!

Why Did Sanballat Hate Hezekiah?!

Sanballat Was Corrupt And Evil!
Hezekiah Labored Diligently By Faith 

And Feared The Living God?!

Why Did King Saul Hate David?!

Saul Was Disobedient, Presumptuous

Wilful And Wickedly Murderous Evil!
David Walked With God In Obedience ...!

... Really?!

Really
Minus The Bathsheba Affair
For Which He Abjectly Completely
- With Contrite Heart -
Repented!

Oh.

Why Did The Jewish Leaders Hate Stephen?!

Stephen Was On Fire For Almighty God
And Full Of Good Works!
The Jewish Leaders
- Wicked Deceitful Puffed Up
Dishonest Treacherous Murderous -
Were Heated From Hell!

Why Did Haman The Agagite
Hate Mordecai?!

Plain Case Of Good Versus Evil!

Haman Wanted The Worship
Mordecai, In Obedience, Reserved For The Living God!

Mordecai Believed And Trusted God's Word!

So, Let Me Ask You The Question!

Why Does Satan Hate Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

• Good Versus Evil
• Love Versus Hate
• Truth Versus Error
• Selfish Desire Versus Yielding To God's Will

Aka
- In All Instances -

Good People

AND
Good Works
Placing
Bad People

AND
Bad Works
Into Disclosing Exposing Revealing Bright Light!

Soooo, How Does This Correlate
To Jesus The Peacemaker Wielding A Sword?!

Glad You Asked!

Jesus Christ Is Our Peace

Bearing The Sword Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is
The Word Of God
Which Is
The Light Of Truth
Which Leads Us

Into The Eternal God's Everlasting Life!

The Light Of Truth
Is The Disclosing Agent
Which Glows In The Dark
Exposing Known Sin
AND
Revealing Inward Darkness
AND
Cutting Off The Way Of Escape
Used On The Path Of Denial!

I Get You ... Now!

The Word Of Truth
From The Prince Of Peace
Ignites
The Tinder Of Sin Within
The Darkened Soul Of Fallen Man
AND
All Who Hear The Word
Must Respond
- One Way Or The Other -
AND
The Only Way To Still The Convicted Spirit
Is To Hurt
Damage
Maim
Destroy
Make Its Presence Absent
With Prejudice
AND
With Finality
Killing It!

Put Another Way ...

Evil Gets "Peace" From Knowing Evil Is Evil

By Killing Peace 

Which Brings Peace To Evil

By Exposing Evil

Who Needs Peace From Evil 

Who Kills Peace 

Because Evil Is Evil 

And

Knows Not Peace

Which Brings Perfect Peace ... And Rest!!

What He Said!

So What Have We Gleaned?!

Peace From Truth Is A Sword!

Peace Is A Purity That Condemns
The Urges And Habits Of The Sin Life!

Peace Is A Lead Balloon

Among The Helium-Filled Balloons Of Sin!

Peace Is Like Clorox 

On A Warlike Black Character!

Peace Damages
Peace Cuts 

The Fabric Of Sin ...!

... Jesus' Peace Is A Sword ...!

... Which Challenges The Status Quo
Of Business As Usual
Which Upsets The Currency Of Sin
Which Destroys Satan's Ability
Another Soul
To Darkness
To Win
AND
This Does Not Sit Well With Him
AND
The Result Is ...!

... Jesus Got Killed ...!

... His Adherents Will Likewise Follow ...!

... Peace Is A Sword!

Bottom Line ...

The Word Of Truth

Doesn't

Can't 

Won't Lie!

Jesus Christ's Peace

IS

A Sword!

Calling The Prince Of Peace Who Is Calling!

I Walked Gingerly Between

The World's
How Terrible!
AND
That's Awful!
Oh, Hell!
Hot Damn!
AND
You're Screwed!
AND
Knew That
No Way Was I Going To Escape
Unmarked
Unscathed
Unless
The Prince Of Peace
Carried Me Safely Through!

I Just Knew That To Be True!

I Passed A Neighbor-In-Trial
Facing Tribulation
AND
I Asked:

Did You See The Prince Of Peace
On The Way Today?!

He said:

I Really Couldn't Tell You
For
I Was Too Tired
Too Distraught
To Think Straight

To Summon Him
By Persistent, Heartfelt, Prayer!

I Grabbed At That Straw 

That My Neighbor Had So Casually Tossed Me  ...

Summon The Prince Of Peace!

AND

I Said A Prayer
Ever So Softly  ...

Creator Of The Universe
Maker Of Man
I Am In The Cross Road
Would You Please Hold My Hand
For
Life's Traffic Is On Fire
And
That Big Roaring Lion Does Fiercely Roar
And
My Head Is Fair Spinning
And My Hair Is Developing
A Straight Curl!

The Woes! The Woes!

Dear Child  ...

I Looked Toward That Voice
Gently Hailing Me
AND
I Knew Instant Relief From Stress
AND
Distress!

Things Were No Longer Askew
For
Here Was The God Of All!
The Master Of the Sea!
The Soul's Savior!
The Salvation Of Those Who Wanted To Be Saved
AND
Would Be!
The Voice Of The Giver Of Grace!
The Dispenser Of Faith!
The Mediator!
The Man Of Mercy!

AND
The Christ
Who Hell Tried But Couldn't Displace!

I Started Singing
Fit To Beat It
Had There Been A Band
For My Heart Was Soaring
Because He
The Prince Of Peace Is
Securely Holding
My No-Longer-Trembling Hand!

When He Who Is Peace Steps In
Satan Runs Out
So Don't Make Any Sudden Moves -
Always Give Him The First Shout-Out!

In All Endeavors
- To Almighty God -
In The Name Of The Prince Of Peace
Say Your Prayers
For
Comfort
Protection
Provision
Rescue
Thanksgiving
Lamentation
Sorrows
Praise
Worship
Whatever Have You!
Say Your Prayers!
Sing Your Praise!

Get For Your Own Soul
A Secure Hold On
Always Available
Mercy-On-Me
I Sincerely Tell You
AND
Give The Eternal God Glory
Who Giveth Unto The Devil

Your Dog-Biscuits-Of-Sin
AND

Trust In The God Of Heaven
For
Your Unto-Eternity Rescue

For
Eternal Blessings Await!
He Awaits The Call From You!

I Am Calling Him Now!

Won't You Do It, Too?!

The Prince Of Peace Is Calling You!
