Telling The Story By The Living Word

The Lord, Himself, Speaks ...

KJV Jeremiah 13
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

KJV Jeremiah 13
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

The Lord Is Touched ...

KJV John 11

35 Jesus wept.

KJV John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

KJV Matthew 4
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The Lord Sends Messengers To Warn ...

KJV Ezekiel 33
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

KJV Ezekiel 18
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

The Repentant Understand Truth
And Do Soul Searching ...

KJV 1 John 1
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

KJV 1 John 1
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

KJV 1 John 1
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Take Warning ...

KJV Jeremiah 22

13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

KJV Jeremiah 22
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.

22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

KJV Jeremiah 10

14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

KJV Ecclesiastes 6

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

KJV Ecclesiastes 6

11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

The Lord Reasons ...

KJV Psalms 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

The Lord Blesses The Faithful ...

KJV Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The Lord Is Pleased
When We Choose Him ...

KJV 3 John 1

2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

The Lord Accepts Our Word 
And Gives Us Him Promise ...

KJV Deuteronomy 26

17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

Thanks And Praise
And Worship Are Comely ...

KJV 1 Chronicles 16
8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

Tell The Good News To The World ...

KJV 1 Chronicles 16

24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

KJV Isaiah 26

4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

The Godly Profess Their Confidence in God
KJV Psalms 123

1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

KJV Psalms 119

103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
NUN
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.


Brethren,

We Have The Holy God
Who Loves And Sacrificially Cares For Us!
Please, I Beseech You
Do Not Allow The Sacrifice Made In Your Name
To Cast Down To The Ground And Trodden Underfoot
Because 
Of Pride And Arrogancy
And 
The Desire To Fit In With The Dying World!

The World Cannot Save Itself
And
You Cannot Save Yourself ... Or Anybody Else
So Take The Sure Shot
For The Guaranteed Win
And
Walk Softly Before The Lord
In Full Confidence Of Deliverance
From Your Known Sin!

Remember:

Only Jesus Christ Blesses
Helps, Heals
Provides And Protects
Saves And Succours
Forgives From Known And Repented Of Sin
And 
Eternally Seals!

Please Permit Him In Your Life To Guide And To Lead:
As Our Advocate Before The Father
For Us Individually
- With His Innocent Blood As Surety And Security -
Does Lovingly Plead!

Man Is Made In God's Image! - The P. M. S. Nature

The Eternal Blessing God Made Man
In His Own Image!
Man Was To Walk Alone
All One
(At One)
With His Creator-God
BUT
Sin Intervened
Compliments Of The One Who Hates
AND
Who On Greed
AND
Lust Feeds
AND
That Is Why All Mankind
A Loving, Redeeming, Savior
Desperately Needs!

From The Hand Of The Maker
Man Had The P.M.S. Nature
That Is
The Physical
The Mental
The Spiritual
Nature Of The Maker
Which Would Have Permitted Him
To Continually Grow
AND
To Advance
AND
To Become Like Unto His Maker
The Longer That He Should Live!

Man Was Not Made To Die!

Enter ... THE DRAGON!!

Satan - By Sin -
- With Sin - 
Is Recreating Man
Is His Very Own Image!

God Forbid!

Perish The Thought!

Sadly, Brethren
This Sad Story
Is Tryingly True
AND
It Is To Our Benefit
To 
- In And Of Christ -
Learn The Facts True
Through And Through!

If You Trust Jesus Christ True
You Can Disappoint The Adversary
By Giving Him
The Get-Thee-Behind-Me-Satan
Thus-Saith-The-Lord Shoe!

Think Of The Time
When Peter Confessed Christ's Divinity
AND THEN
In The Next Breath
Wanted To Protect His Lord
From Engaging His Mission's Strife!




Jesus Spoke
Not To Peter
But To The Adversary
In Between Them:

Get Out Of My Way Satan
So That I May Speak To Mine Own
Face To Face
No Blockers In Between
Willing Them To Walk Their Own Way
To Walk Alone!

Almighty God
- In Christ - 
Was Self-Denying!
Satan Is Not - Cannot!
All God's Children
Must
- Like As Did Christ -
Practice
Self-Abnegation
If
From Sin And Satan
They Will
To The Day Of Redemption  
- Saved -
Arrive!
We Must Depend Upon The Lord Jesus Christ!

Lord, Haste The Day!

Christ IS Our Anchor!
If We Lift Our Cross
As He Asks Us
We Will His Crown Of Life Wear!

When We Follow The Master's Living Example
AND
Ever To The Great Father Repair
We Can Rely Upon His Input Of Strength
So That We May Reject The Devil
AND
Avoid His Delicately Placed Snares!

Jesus Christ
Gave Us An Example Of Perfect Obedience
AND
He Gives Unto Us
The Power
That We May
The Holy God Obey!

Friends, Brethren,

There's No Need For Circus Acrobatics
Nor Devilish Contortions
If We Will
- By And In Jesus Christ's Faith -
Just Humbly Say ...


  • Yes, Lord!
  • I Believe!
  • I Will Follow Thee!
  • Lord, Your Blessings I Gladly Receive!
  • Lead Me, Lord - I Will Follow!
  • Teach Me, Lord - I Will Pray!
  • Bless Me, Lord - You Are My Answer!
  • Take Me, Lord - I Am Yours To Command Today!

Preach It, Brother! Preach It!

If You Are A Wanderer
Looking
For A Safe
A Secure Home
Remember
I Beseech You, Remember That
"Jesus Christ Is The Answer!"
He Is The Corner Stone!

Don't Be A Foolish Builder
AND
Reject Jesus The Christ
Because
Without Him
There Is No Foundation Laid
That Is Not Laid Upon Him
That Will
- In The Day Of Discovery -
Survive!

A Man Saves Construction Costs
When He Committedly Builds On The Lord Christ!

A Sure Foundation
Withstands Any And All Upheavals!

Indeed!

Brethren,
I Beseech You
To Trust God For Your Building Construction Materials
AND
I Guarantee You
- On The Strength Of The Eternal Word -
- On The Character Of The Everlasting Father -
- On The Word Of The Living God Which Cannot Lie -
That No Bad Bricks
In Your Life
Can Ever Be Laid!
Only Needful And Necessary Bills Will Be Supplied!

All Things Work For Good ...!

Indeed! Indeed!

Let Us Recite Our Memory Verse:




The Only Man
That Jesus Christ Cannot Save
Is The Man
Who Will Not Believe That
Jesus Christ Saves!

When Man Plays God?!




That IS Now Written In Stone!

What?!
The Word Of The Lord?! 

My Opinion!
My Decision aka
My Final Word On The Matter!

Lord, Help Us!

Satan Just Walked By!

Whaaat?! Where?!
Why do You Say That?!
What Do You Mean?!

... Says The Man
Using Smoke And Mirrors
To Build A Castle Called The Impossible Dream!
The Immortalized Opinion
Of A Mere Man
Places That Mere Man Smack Dab
In The The Devil's Domain
Unwilling
Unable
Refusing
To Hear Or See Reason
Steadfast
Hobbled
By A Self-Choking Chain!

There Is No Wisdom
Nor Counsel
Against God
AND
Any Creature
Unwilling
To Accept
The Wise Counsel Of The Holy God
Is A Being
A Human
Outside
Of The Eternal God's Assistance
For
He Is Sitting
On A god-Throne
That He Made
Created
AND
Built
Himself!
That Creature
Unrepentant
Is Set For
The To-Be-Destroyed Shelf!

He'll Have Just As Much
Good Fortune
As Did Lycifer Lucifer Did
When He "Pitted Strength"
Stood Against
The Living Counsel
Of The Eternal God!
He Was Beside Himself!

Why Won't You Change Your Decision?

I Stepped Out On A Limb!
I Spoke A Certain Word?

Is Your Word Better Than The Word Of God?

Ye ... Of Course Not!

So Why Are You Standing Against The Word Of The Lord?!
You Better Not Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!

Well ... It Is ... Well ...
I Must Be Strong!
I Stand Up For What I Believe In!
I Am ... Will Be In Charge!
I Have Made My Decision!
I Told The ... I Must Save Face!!

I Have A Word For You:

Proverbs 24:3-4
You're Building Your House With
No Wisdom!
No Understanding!
No Knowledge!
AND
May I Add
An Inordinate Amount Of Self
Self-Importance
Self-Centeredness
AND
No Shame!

You Would Destroy Unsuspecting People
Based On A False Hope?!
A Lie?!

You Need To Repent!
Ask The Lord For Forgiveness!
It Is Not Yet Too Late
To Yield Your Will
To The Will Of The Lord
AND
Walk Away Run
Away From The Machinations Of That Old Fraud!

Tell The Truth!
Truth Sets Free!
Don't Rebel Against God!
Don't Be An Idol-Worshipper!

AND
Don't Bend Your Knee!
Satan Is Not The Holy God!

You Know ... 


Satan Took That Same Position!
He "Smelled" Water In His Nose

AND
Believed It Would Rain
AND
He a went About Selling Umbrellas
Certain
That He Could Effect Change!

Change Was Effected Alright

BUT
Not The One Which He
- By Self -
Conceived
With The End Result
Being War In Heaven

AND
The Bold Instigator - Unrepentant
Along With His Deceived Comrades
Being Cast Out
Without So Much As A
By Your Leave!

Today ...

In Our Domain
We See The Rotten Fruit Of The Same
Men Women
Politicians Priests Prelates
Pastors Presidents
Kings Princes
Making Pronouncements
Based On The Lying Work-Product
Of Demon-Possessed
Demon-Inspired
Even Demons Masquerading
As Mortal Men
With The Sworn Intent
Of Getting Back At Jesus Christ
God Almighty
By Destroying The Human Soul!
They Grandly Choose To Offend!

Satan Was Shown The Error Of His Ways!
Satan Was Encouraged
By Jesus Christ Himself
To Give Up The Folly

AND
Return To His Station
BUT
The Glitter Of Self
Shone Forth From Satan's Eye

AND
So ... 

He Was Left To Work Out
His Rebellion In Full
So That Almighty God's Justice
By All
Would Be Fully Understood

AND
That, I Dare Say
Is Why We Hear The Living Word Of 
The Eternal God Say:

Work Out Your OWN Soul's Salvation
With Godly Fear And Trembling!

Man,
You Need To Go To God

AND
Confess
That Your Are In The Wrong


AND
Repent
Of Your Wilful Waywardness

AND
Your Malice
AND
Your Deceits
AND
Ask For Forgiveness

AND
Restoration To The Fold!
You Need To Ask The Living God
To Please Save Your Soul!

Later ...

Father,
Forgive Me!

I Knew Exactly What I Was Doing!
I Knew The Fat That I Was Chewing
Was The Fat Of Sin
That I Should Have Been Spewing!



I Wanted To Be Important!
I Wanted To Be A King Pin
And, Lord
All I See Before Me Now
Is A Noose For My Own Lynching!


Lord.

Forgive Me Of My Folly!
Cleanse Me Of Self
And

Wasting Greed!

Rid Me Of The Willingness To Sin
And 

Reconcile Me

To Your Holy Self
For
I Am Truly Sorrowing In My Very Soul

And

I Bear A Contrite Heart

And

Now - Open-Eyed
I Am Sincerely Willing And Ready
To Do What Is Right

And
In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name

I Am Begging
Please?!


Brethren,
All Sin In This World
Is Instigated By Satan
BUT
We
- Of Our Own Spirit's Willingness
To Do Wickedness -
Are The Executors Thereof
!

Please - I Beseech You
Do Not Give Satan Any Assists!
Misery Likes Company
AND
Your Fall ... From Grace
IS
Satan's Lift ... To Bliss!

Every Human Knows
What Sin Is!
The Holy God Says So
AND
Our Pretending
Not To Know
Will Not
Can Not
Make It So!

Satan Is The Liar!
His Words Are All Diseased
AND
If ... Convinced
You Follow Him
You Will Also Receive
What The Almighty God Says
He  - The Dragon
The Beast
AND
The False Prophet

AND
All Unrepentant Men
Shall
- At The Appointed Time -
Receive!

By The Way ...

Umbrellas That Rain ... Sin
Can't Cool Or Extinguish
The Fire Of God!
So
Let Us Take Heed To Our Selves
AND
Ask Jesus Christ
Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit

AND
The Good Influence Of Holy Angels
To Keep Us In The Straight 
AND
Narrow Way Of The Eternal God
AND
Away From The Broad Bent Way
Of The Wasting Fraud!


Eyes Deceive
And

Ears Erroneously Please
BUT
Not If You
To Christ The King
Unfailingly Cleave!

Pray For Faith
To Use Your Little Faith
RIGHT NOW!

Accept Free Salvation ... And Grow Good Fruit!




We Do Not Earn Salvation
By Obedience
For
Salvation Is The Free Gift Of God!
Faith Reaches For
AND
Takes
A From-Death-Unto-Eternal-Life-Hold 
On Salvation
AND
Obedience Is The Fruit Of Our Faith
In Him 
Who Will Our Faithfulness Reward!

Obedience Is 
The Fruit Of Faith
Which Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
And That Makes Obedience
A Good Fruit
Twice Sweet!
AND
This Fruit Is Such
That It Is Filling With Satisfactions
Known
AND
To Be Known
When We See Our Blessed King
AND
Behold Him
On His Eternal And Glorious Throne!

A Life Of Obedience
AND
Unswerving Faith
Is
To The Sinner
A Strong Reproof
A Visible Felt Slap In The Face
An Indictment
An Affront
A Stark Challenge
To Be Severely Met
For
The Life Of Obedience
Causes The One Disobedient
Unfaithful To Truth And Right
To Be Miserable
AND
To Constantly Angrily Fret!

Remember Cain
Of Grossly Disobedient Frame
Who Hated Abel's Obedience
AND
Slew Him As Proof
Of His Stand
Against The Maker's Guidance
Showing Plain Also
His Stand Against Righteousness
AND
Killing The Innocent
So That The Guilty Raging Spirit
Could At Last
From Visible Reproof Rest
Though The Earth Grossly
With Innocent Blood
Be Indelibly Stained!

Remember
The Second Adam
Jesus Christ
The Second Abel
Whose Blood Gave Better Testimony
For It Cleans The Known Guilty Of Sin!

Abel
The Type Innocent
The Sacrificial Lamb
His Blood The Guilty Accused
BUT
Jesus Christ
The True Innocent
The True Sacrificial Lamb
- By Our Acting In His Faith Unto Obedience -
- By Accepting His Merits -
Will The Confessed
Repentant Sinner's
Reproof Remove!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Run Right
Or
Stand Wrong!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Earn
The Judge's Frown!

One Step
Is All It Takes
To Claim
The Eternal King's Rewarding
AND
One Step
Is All It Takes
To Determine
One's Eternal Fate!

Act ONE
The Devil Acts!
We React!
The Consequence Is Ours!

Act TWO
Our Lust For Reaction
Gains Traction
AND
Consequences Are Damned!
We Are No More On The Fence
AND
Hope For Good
Unto To Willing Evil
Is Assuredly Gone!

Practice Is All It Takes
So ... Take Faith!
Accept ... Free Salvation!
Grow ... Willing Obedience!
AND
The Fruit
Of
The Tree Of Life
Your Mouth Will Surely Taste!


To Get A Good Crop
We Must Have Good Ground!

*********

The Seed Of The Holy Spirit
Is
Always Good!

*********

With What
Are YOU
Tilling
And
Manuring Your Mind?!
