PRAYER: We Need Our Jesus, Dear Father!

I Come Before You, Father

Because

I Believe All Of The Word

And That

The Given Promises Are True!

Please Cleanse Me Of Any Unbelief!

Thank You, Father

For The Blessings You Bestow:

The Love

The Joy

The Grace

The Mercy

The Truth

The Good Seeds To Sow!

Thank You, Father

For Making Plain The Way To Walk

And

The Light That Shines

That Shows The Way Clear! 

Thank You For Being The Holy God

That

A Repentant Sinner Can Intimately Know!

The Raging Lion Is Prowling

Seeking To Make Meals Out Of Men

And

So I Bow Before You, My Father

Pleading

Beseeching You, Lord God Holy:

Help Us! 

Please Defend!

We Do Not Know How To Pray As We Ought

But

We, Of The Household Of Faith

Know Him

- Jesus Christ Our Creator -

Our Redeemer

Who For Our Salvation Fought! 

He Is Not A Comic Book Hero! 

He Did Not On His Earthly Mission Fail! 

There Is Nothing That He Can Learn

From Any Sun Man

And

It Is Abundantly Made Clear

That

The Way To His Sure Salvation

Is No Mixed-Way Walking-According-To-Self Trail!

The Preserved Holy Word Tells Us Plainly

The Only Way To You, Father

Is

Through The Lord Christ

Your Only Begotten Son

And

I Plead, My Father

Please Help Us To See The Living Light

So That We Do Not Fall For Any Of Satan's

Soul-Costing

Life-Destroying

Christ-Denying

Loathsome Delights!

Personal Experience Strongly Declares

That

The Way Of Sin Is Not Fun!

Without The Lord Christ 

We Are Twice-Dead Men! 

Without The Lord Christ

We Cannot Against Satan Defend! 

Without The Lord Christ

Our Beginning Is Our End

As There Will Never Be Any Other Being

Any Other Opportunity

The Slide To Damnation To End!

Pity Us, And Help Us! 

Pity Us, And On Living Truth Help Us To Feed! 

Pity Us, And Lead Us Safely Home

Because

It Is Our Souls' True Desire

The Water Of Life To Drink

And

On The Fruit Of The Tree

In Eternity

Always To Feed!

Bless Us With Spiritual Eyesight

Insight

Foresight

And

The Wisdom Of The Wise

And

Guide Us On The Path To Glory

As In Jesus Christ's Faith

We Believe, Love, Trust

And

Propagate 

The Good News Gospel Story!

Help Us To Reject

Satan's Sophistries And Bold Lies!

We Love You! 

We Bless You! 

Please Help Us, Dear Father

By The Working Of The Holy Spirit

To Glorify The True Name

And

By Remaking Us

- Our Characters -

In The Likeness Of Jesus Christ

The Spotless Lamb

Who Bore Our Punishment

Our Pain

And

Our Shame! 

We Need The Lord

And

In His Matchless Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

You Said, Ask

In Faith

Nothing Wavering 

And

It Shall Be Given:

Our Desire Is Here Laid Bare! 

Please Come Soon! 

AMEN.

Are You For The Creator God?!

Question For The Multitude...

IF God IS For Us
Who Can Be Against Us?!

AND

By Way Of Contrast
IF God IS Against Us
Who Could Possibly Be For Us?!

Which ... In Turn
Begs The Question:

Why Would Any Human Being
Want The Living God To Be Against Them

AND

What Would We Have To Do
To Cause God To Turn Against Us?

AND

By Way Of Another Contrast ...

What Can We
OR
More Properly
What Should We Be Doing
To Ensure That The Eternal God
IS
Ever For Us?!

Striking Examples Of Both States
Are Clearly Revealed In The Living Word
AND
All Who Are True Members Of 

The Class Of Christ
Would Do Well On These Cases 

To Be Well Versed!

If We Go To The Generations
Of Those Men
That Were On  The Earth
Early Birthed ... And Onward
We Shall See:

The Living God For Abel
Seth
Enoch
Noah
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
Moses
Joshua

AND

The Living God Against Cain
Nimrod
Esau
Pharoah
Nadab And Abihu
Achan
Balaam
Hophni And Phineas
Sisera
King Saul

All Who Against The Living God
Stand Up In Arrogancy 

AND

Selfish Pride
Willful Disobedience
AND
Witting Defiance 

Shall Strive Against A Course Wind
AND
Shall Flounder
Wander Aimlessly
AND
At The End Of It All
Abjectly Fail
BECAUSE

The God Of Heaven
Is Not Trifled With
Nor Can His Desires Be Derailed!

Now, Take A Moment And ...

Look At Two Peculiar Cases
Three:

Nebuchadnezzar
God For - God Warned Him Of His Impending Fall!
God Against - God Denounced Him For His Prideful Idolatry!
AND
God For - God Restored Him To Prominence 

After His Chastisement And Repentance

AND

Public Acknowledgement Of

The Sovereign Will Of The God Of Heaven!

Shepherd Warrior King Prophet David
God For - God Called Him From The Sheep Fold

AND

Elevated Him To King
God Against - God Denounced Him And Chastised Him 

For His Sin With Bathsheba 

AND

The Murder Of Her Husband Uriah!
God For - God Restored Him After His Confession And Repentance!

Pharisee Saul Called Apostle Paul
God Against - God Blinded His Eyes For Persecuting Jesus Christ

AND

The People Of The Faith
God For - God Gave Him Spiritual Eyesight

After His Repentance And Conversion

AND

Gave Him A Great Ministry To The Gentiles 

For The Salvation Of Souls!

Understand This ...

He Who Dances With The Devil

And

Acts Snide Against The Lord Christ

Also Dines With The Devil

AND

Clearly States That

Their Life Will Not Be Lived

For

Nor In

Christ The Lord!

Be It Made Known
To All Men Of The Dust
That THAT Action
Against The Holy God
Is Indulging In
Unwinnable Strife!

In This Act
There Is Only

The Eternally Lost Soul Reward!

We Shall All Do Well
To Carefully Study
The Case Of Job
Who Said Of His God
- The Creator God -
The One Eternal:

Though He Slay Me
Yet ... Will I Trust Him!

Since God IS ... For YOU
Not Life
Not Death
Not Storm
Not Marauders
Not Hell
Nor The Machinations Of
The Damned Devil
Can Separate Us
From The Love Of The Lord Jesus!

The Promise Is Given
To All Who CHOOSE To Believe
That The Eternal God Is Faithful
ANDThose Who Trust And Obey
Will
The Blessing Of The Promise
On The Appointed Day
Receive!

Trust God And ... Grow!
Obey God And ... Know
That In The Day Of The Appearing
The One Faithful
Shall To The Living God's Holy Heaven
Triumphantly Go!!

I Believe!
Do You?!

Grace

Is Our Food!

Mercy

Is As New Wine!

Faith 

Is A Fair Wind

Trust 

Is A Sound Boat

Obedience 

Is A Whole Oar

AND

Love Of And For God

Is Our Sheltered Shore!

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?!

Cheering My Own Soul ... And With A Prayer!

The Only Future
That I Can Face Without Fear
Is The One With Christ, My Jesus 
Being 
The Sole Light Source There!

I Can Walk
In Blind-Eyed Darkness!
I Can Walk
With No Earthly Way Clear
BUT
With The Light Of My Jesus Shining
I Can See The Way - It Is Water Of Life Clear!

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul
For
You Are A Part Of 
God's Safe-Sheep Fold!
Blessings Are Present
AND
More Blessings Await
So, Please
Tell The Other Seekers That 
This Blood Of Christ-Guaranteed Safety 
Is No Devilish
Sleight Of Hand Fake!

PRAYER:

I Will Follow Thee, My Savior

I Know Not Where

You May Lead Me

But

I Know The Ultimate Destination

Is The Place For Where

You Purchased Me A Ticket

On That Dark Day

On Mount Calvary!

I Love You, Lord!

I Know That You Hear My Cry!

Please Help Me 

- In Childish Faith I Beseech Thee -

Not Listen To Satan's Vile Lies!

Help Me To Ever Hear

And

To Ever Obey

Thy Word Of Truth

And

Stand In The Faith

And

Help Me To Become A Landed Citizen

Of The Realm

Of Eternal Youth!

I Thank You, Lord

For

The Food, The Shelter

The Peace, The Rest

The Correction, The Direction

Of

The Holy Spirit

And

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

And

The Walking Path Of The Blessed!

Please Pour Out

Your Holy Spirit

On My Flesh Today

And

Let My Speech Be Edifying

And

Not Cause Any

From The Straight Path

To Stray Away!

I Confess, Lord

And

I Repent

Of

My Known Sin

And

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

- The Intercessor True -

I Humbly Approach

And

Make My Petitions Without Fear

Unto You

My Father True!

Have Mercy

And

Bless!

AMEN.
