PRAYER: Help Us, Father, To See Jesus Christ As He Is!

Father,
I Thank You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Please Bless Me, I Beseech You
So That I Do Not Your Great Name Profane!

Father,
All Around Me
I See People Hedging Bets
Betting On Self To Win By Walking With Jesus Christ

And
Betting On Self To Win By Walking Wise In The World
So That There Will Be A Pay Day

- Allegedly -
Whether They Win Or Lose!

I've Thought Fleetingly About This, Dear Father
And
My Decision Is Mine:

I'm Putting My Mortal Life 

On Your Holy, Everlasting, And Divine Line!

I Am Reaching For And Holding Your Hand

And

I'm Going To Continue To Hold Your Hand
Which Means You're Actually Holding Mine!

Thank You For The Life-Line!

I Lean On You

And

I'm Going To Continue To Lean On You
Which Means Your Strength Is More Than Mine!

I Trust You

And

I'm Going To Continue To Trust You
Trust Your Word
Trust Your Heart
Which Makes You My God
Which Means I Do Not Walk In The Dark

So That I Have No Need To Go Off On A Lark!

I Obey You

And

I'm Going To Continue To Obey You
Which Means That You're In Control!

I Am A Sheep In The Safe Fold!

I Follow You

And

I'm Going To Faithfully Continue

To Follow Where You Lead
Which Means That Heaven With The Lord Christ 

Is My Heart's True Goal!

I Talk To You

And

I'm Going To Continue Talking To You

And

I Am Going To Talk With You Constantly
Which Means You Are My Bosom-Friend
Which Means I Tell You My Secrets
- You've Already Openly Shared With Me Your Heart -
Which Means Each Other's Honor
The Other Will Defend!

I'm A Repentant Sinner!
Help Me To Stand Always For Truth!

I Worship You
And
I Will Continue To Worship You
In Spirit And In Truth
Which Means That Whether It Is Convenient Or Not
Popular Or Not
Fashionable Or Not 

Or
Safe Or Not
Not Giving You Your Due
Will Never Be An Option For Me!

I Am A Child Of The Dust
But
I Will Not Use It As An Excuse To Indulge Folly!
Help Me To Stand On The Promise Of 

Eternal Life With My Lord Christ!

I Am The Child Of The Great King
But
I Will Not Use It As An Excuse For False Pride

Because I Know Of A Surety

Pride Will Never In Your Holy Presence

Have A Place To Abide!

I Am A Beneficiary Of Available Grace
And
I Will Use That As The Ready Reason
To Approach Unto You For My Help!
Let This Grace Be Always Sufficient For Me!

I Am A Grateful Recipient Of Your Blessed Forgiveness!
Help Me To Tell Others The Truth Of
What Your Forgiveness Of The Sinful Soul Will Do!
Help Me Never To Sell Heavenly Gold To Buy Base Brass!

I Will Sing Praise Unto You, Father

And
I Will Say Prayers To Share Hope
To Seek Help
To Just Say, Hello! I Love You! I Need You!
To Bless God
And
Just To Be With You
Until My Life Shall End!

I Have Thought Further, My Father
And
Based Upon Readily Available Evidence
I Can Speak The Truth:

I Know Of A Surety That 

I Don't Have To Hedge Bets
In My Relationship With You!

I Am Going All In!
I'm Giving My All To You!
Present Life!
Future Prospects!
Present Prospects!
Future Life!
All Are Yours!
I Give Them To You
Because
What I Give Up
What I Lose In This Mortal Strife
Can Never Be Compared To What I Gain With You
When, By Faith
By Faithful Obedience
By Enduring Faithfulness
I Enter Eternal Life!

Please Pity Me!
Please Pity The Brethren Everywhere!
Please Open Our Eyes
And
Help Us To See Our Lord Jesus As He Is
And
Give Into Our Hands The Strength
To Call Upon That Worthy Name
Daily Confessing And Repenting Of Our Sins

And
Actually Turning Away From The Sin Life
So That We May Be Saved And Forever Blessed
For It Is In His Matchless Name
That We Humbly Plead!

Please Come Soon!

We Need You!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Thank You, Father! Evil Can Be Withstood!

Father,
You've Given Us The Key To The Living
Kingdom!
You've Given Unto Us The One Who Is The Door!
You've Given Us The Rock, The Foundation
And
Made Known To Us
The Chief Corner Stone!

The Building Is Set In Green Pastures!
There Is Still Water Near By!
There Is The Shepherd Of Rest For Our Leading
And
The Comforter To Guide And Chide Us

And

To Bless Us E'er We Cry!

There Are Angels Excelling In Strength
To Protect Us!
You Made Them Ministering Spirits
To Those Who Will Be Salvation's Heirs!
They Are Influencers For Our Good
On The Way-Home Journey
And
Their Care Blesses Us For Our Eternal Good!
With Their Service To Us And For Us

And

With The Constant Aid Of 

The Ever-Present Holy Spirit
Evil Can Be Withstood!

There's Heaven To Gain!
There's Hell To Refuse!
There's Glory To Regain!
There's The Weight Of Sin To Lose!
There Is Good News To Be Shared!
There Are Broken Relationships To Be Repaired
And
There Is The Accord With Self To Attenuate
If
We Shall Avoid The Former Bright Star Fallen
That Is, Satan's
Known Just And Sure Fate!

When I Take Time To Think, Father
I Recognize That, Really
Truth Is Light!
Love Is Hope!
Evangelizing Is, Indeed, Co-Working
And
Faith Is A Much-Needed Grace Note!

With Sin Forgiven
I See The Right Way Marked! 

I Appreciate The Light Provided
And
I Am Supremely Grateful For
No More Walks In The Killing Dark!

Oh, Father
What A Blessing To Walk
From Sin To Salvation
From Death To Eternal Life
From  Being Helpless To Being Hope-Filled
As On The Lord Of Life We Rely!

I Bless You, Father
For Peace Rest
Grace Faith
Mercy Pardon
And
In This Hour
I Pray For The Brethren
So That They Don't Wait Until Judgment
To Be Sorry For Sin
But 

Are Sorry For Known Sin Now
And
Will Give It To Him Who Can Make Them Clean Now!

I Pray For Us All
To Fall On The Rock Now And Be Broken
And
To Resist Being Presumptuous
So As Not To Be Crushed
Because
Now Is, Indeed, The Day Of Salvation
And
We, For Our Soul's Prosperity
Must Willingly Worship The God Of Creation
He Who Dwells Not In Time But In Eternity

The Builder

The Redeemer

The One True God!

Father, Most Faithful
My Heart Is Well Pleased

And

Truly, Truly Blessed That
No Depth Is Deep Enough
No Height Is High Enough
No Retreat Far Enough
Nor Sin Bad Enough
That We Cannot Get Back To You!
I Give You All Praise!

Please Bless Us With Spiritual Eyes!
Please Bless Us With Spiritual Ears
And
Please Give Unto Us Hearts Of Flesh
So That By Our Reliance On The Truth
We May Escape Satan's Snares!
Help Us To Moment By Moment
Cast On You Our Cares! 

We Love You, Beloved Father
And
We Ask These Few Mercies
In The Holy Name Of Our Lord And Savior
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Soon Returning King

Your Only Begotten Son!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + MERCY: Almighty God's Multitude!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Let Me Glory In You!

Carnal Man Tames The Lion
The Elephant
The Whale
The Snake
BUT
No Carnal Man Can Tame The Tongue
AND
With Wild Laughter At This Irony
That Wicked Satan Does Shake!

400 Pound Lion ... Tamed!
7 Ton Elephant ... Tamed!
1300 Pound Brown Bear ... Tamed!
9,000 Pound Whale ... Tamed
But
The Less Than Three Ounce Tiny Tongue Of Man
Is 

As Free As A Bird

AND
Ignited By A Brand From The Willful-Goat Herd
AND
Gleefully Sets Fires Ad Nauseum
AND
Has Tremendous Fun 

Fitfully Stirring Them!

Tiny Tongue Lives In The Terrible Twos!
Tiny Tongue Loves His Glittering Red Shoes!
Tiny Tongue Goes Where Giants Fear To Thread
AND
Holy Angels Won't
AND
Tiny Tongue Is Boss
In The Unregenerated Soul
Until It Is Known That The Body Is Dead!
That Is Dread!

Tiny Tongue Talks Terrible Things Every Day!
Tiny Tongue Plays In Traffic
No Matter What The Head Man Done Say!
Tiny Tongue Is A Tyrant
A Tease
A Tester
A Trip

AND
Tiny Tongue Is A Molester
AND
In Guacamole Parties
He Always Double Dips His Chips!

Maaaaan ...

He Got Bare Lip
AND
He Can't Even Walk!
He Got More Guts Than A Goat
AND
He Does Make Philosophers Choke!

He Does Talk Forward
Froward
AND
Often Acts Facetious, Too!

Bad Talk Is Tiny Tongue's Good For-Profit Business!
He Always Got Fat In The Fire To Check!

AND
He Always Has Something To Collect!

BUT ...

Those Who've Been Bitten
Bullied
Blistered
AND
Blasted By Tiny Tongue
Have Humbly Repaired Unto The Lord
AND
Have Given Unto The Master
Full Control Of That Miscreant
Who Blesses The Living God
AND
Curses His Fellow Man
For He Has Been Activated By 

The Consummate Fraud!

Tiny Tongue Don't Need No Trigger!
Tiny Tongue Does A One, Two, Three
Hit!
Bliss!
What Fun!!

AND
He Runs The Race Before The Sound Of

The Starter's Gun!

Tiny Tongue Is A Scoundrel!
A Rouge ... With A Brogue
AND
His Best Performance
Comes On Flash-Back Day
When He Fetches Up His Guts
AND
Shares Fresh Blows!

Around An Unleashed Tiny Tongue

You'd Better Be On Your Toes

For, Invariably

He Puts On A Spectacular Show!

News Flash ...

There Is Hope For Tiny Tongue!
There Is Help From The Master
For
In The Multitude Of His Mercy ...!

... Wait Up, Bub!
How Can There Be A "Multitude" Of A Mercy!?!

I Never Said "A" Mercy!
I Said HIS Mercy!

I Get It ... I Don't Got It!

Who Is God?!
Able!

What Is God?!
All Seeing!
All Knowing!
Ever Present!

Where Is God?!
Available!

What Is Mercy!
Free!

Free To Whom?!
All!

In Earth Speak
When Some Thing Is Free To All Takers
What Is The Usual Reason?!

There Is Abundance!

It Is Allegedly Something Good!
It Supposed Does Something Good!

It Is Reportedly Good For The Takers!

It Is Proclaimed That Those Who Miss Out
On This Good Thing Will Have Regret!

And ...

Those Who Get The Good
Glean The Goodness
Share The Story
AND

It Lauds The Originator
Spreading Glory ...!

... Wait A Minute!
Minus The Alleged And The Supposed
This Is About The Gospel Story
The Good News Story ...!

... We Get The Good
AND
Almighty God Gets The Glory!

So What You Are Really Telling Is

Almighty God Is Eternal
In Every Place And Time
So, Therefore
His MERCY
Is One AND Eternal
AND
Is Available To Fix
What Ever
Why Ever
Where Ever
When Ever
For
Who Ever
If And
And Because!
Right! ?!

Hole In One! 

Absolutely!

Remember
That Almighty God Has Ways To Save Us
That We Don't Know Anything About!

We Surely Need Him
To Save Us From Tiny Tongue!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Here Is My Tiny Tongue

Starting Fires

Creating Strife All Around!

I Beseech You, Lord 

In The Name Of Christ The Righteous

Who Purchased My Pardon

Which Gives Me Access To Thee

Please

Send The Angel

With The Golden Tongs

With A Coal From Heaven's Altar

To Cleanse My Now-Wicked Tiny Tongue

To Cause Him To Speak Right

To Sing Praise

To Utter Truth

And

To Get Us Out Of Waiting Disaster!

Your Mercy, Lord

Frees And Changes Me! 

Your Mercy Feeds And Blesses Me! 

Your Mercy Clothes And Sanctifies Me!

Your Mercy, Free

Fills

Fortifies

And

Causes Me

To Fruitful Be!

Lord, 

Let Me Glory In You!

Let Your Glory 

Your Character

Your Goodness

Give Me Victory Over Sin

So That Others May See

Your Glory

Shining From My Face

And

Desire To Be Like Christ

And

Take Up In Heaven

Their Own Prepared By Christ

Personal Place!

AMEN!!!

Who Would Think
That A Tiny Tongue
Could Wield Such Power?!
Could Keep One Out Of Heaven!
Could Cast One Into Hell Fire?!

That's An Irony If I Even Know
What An Irony Is!

Hear The Story Now ...

Tiny Tongue
- Known Lit By The Fires Of Hell -
Lit A Fire That Caused His Neighbor
AND
His Own Head, Hell
AND
Was Immolated By His Own Fire!
He Burned Like Hell!

Sad, Sad, Sad!

Yes ... But ...!

... I'm Taking Up Almighty God's Offer ...!

... His Multitude Of Mercy
Is Free
Free To Me
Good For Me
AND
Available To Every Body!

God's Free Mercy Streameth

Over All The World

And

Tongues Unregenerated

Can Fall Upon It

And Be Cured! 

No Sin Too Small Nor Too Grand

Can Fail

Fail Of Finding Help

And, So

I Tell You, Brethren

Give Almighty God's Mercy

Your Necessary And Utmost Respect!

**--**--**--**--**

Almighty God's Mercy Saves Sinners!

 

THE U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM: Nebuchadnezzar's Statue Sorta Kinda Like!

The Present Kurfuffle Going On
Over The Courtesies Paid
At The Singing Of The United States National Anthem
Is
- To Me -
A Cautionary Tale
That All Christians
- Truly All Peoples -
Would Do Well To Watch 
AND
Think About
With Total Care!

Know The Difference Between

Respect

And

Worship!

This Protest 
- Again ... To Me -
Is One Of Those Things
Whereby Those Who Would Be God
Will See How Far They Can Go
Before The Bough Breaks
AND
Just As Nebuchadnezzar Appointed
The Prized Elevated Golden Object Of Worship
We Should See The Modern Parallels Presented Here
AND
Take Special Note!

Each Side Has Points In Their Favor!
Each Side Has Points That Detract!
BUT
Those Of Us Who See With Eyes
On The Living Word
AND
The Prophetic Clock
Will Nod Our Heads
AND
Say:

These Things Cannot Help But Be So!

Nebuchadnezzar
King Of Babylon
Ordered His People
To Worship The Glittering Golden Image
At The Sound Of The Myriad Instruments' Music
Under Penalty!
(Listen To The U.S. National Anthem 
And Be Thrilled By The Extraordinary Emotion It Evokes!
Music Is Not Neutral And There Is Ever A Reason For Its Use!)

Those Among The Babylonians
Still Faithful To The Living God
Refused
AND
They Were Reported To The Authorities
Not Only For Not Bowing Down To The New Idol
BUT
Also For Not Worshiping Nebuchadnezzar's Many gods
AND
In His Blind Fury
Nebuchadnezzar Raged
At The Four Hebrew Worthies:

I Urge The People Of God
To Take Note Of This
AND
Lean On The Promises Of God!

What Is Happening
Is Not A Coincidence!
Nothing That Happens In This Vale Of Tears
Is Coincidental!
It All Has A Purpose
- Usually For Man's Ill At Satan's Hand -
BUT ALMIGHTY GOD
Will Ultimately Use Even This
For His Own Glory!

Let Us Choose Our Battles Carefully
For
There Are No Fools In God's Eternal Kingdom!

The Final Movements On The Prophetic Clock
Are Stated To Be Rapid Ones
So
Let Us Watch Unto Prayer
AND
Be Faithful Unto Death!

Nothing

- On Its Face -

Is What It Appears To Be!

It Should Be Noted ...

All Bets Are Off
Come October 31, 2017
When The Final Nail
In The Coffin Of Protestantism
Is Hammered In With Finality
As The Final Documents Are Signed For Its Abolition
Saying Boldly
That The Protest Against Abominable Worship Practices
Which Should Have Lasted Until Jesus Christ Comes
Is No More
AND
In Effect 
That All Religions Are One
AND
All gods Are One And The Same
Equal To The Creator-God
AND
The One Eternal Holy Almighty Creator-God
Is Nothing
Nada
Zilch
Bupkis
Caput
Finished!

Brethren,
Stay Instant And Constant In Pray!
Stay Faithful To The Living God Until Death!
Stay Hopeful Of The Blessed Assurance!
Stay Trusting In The Promises Of God!
Stay Believing That Our God Is Who He Says He Is!
Stay Obedient To God's Will!
Stay In Your King James Bible The Preserved Word Of God
AND
Lean, Lean, Lean
On The Holy Jesus!

The Warfare
The Little Time Of Jacob's Trouble
Is Close At Hand!
AND
So Is Jesus Christ's Return!

Anything

Worshiped Like Unto God

Is God!

- Enter The Dragon!

Night ... Is Coming!

“[T]he noon of the papacy was the midnight of the world.”

—J. A. Wylie, The History of Protestantism, b. 1, ch. 4.

Whether I Live Or Die
I Stand In The Lord Christ!
I Will Not
- By God's Grace -
Fall ... Again 

For Satanic Device!

Satan Is The Liar
The Enemy Supreme
BUT

My Hold On Things Temporal Is Lean

AND
With Christ
As My All In All
Heaven At The Last
Will Be Mine
Because
Of Sin
I Am Clean!

Jesus Is The Author
The Finisher Of My Faith
AND
If I Secure My Trust
AND
Rest In Him
Salvation For Me
Will Not Be A Bust!

Paul The Apostle
- In Absolute Faith -
Declared:

"To Live Is Christ ...!"

Meaning
To Know Christ
To Hold To Christ
Is To Truly Have A Life
Hence
To Really Be Alive
Is To Live For Christ
AND IEven I
Having Escaped The Active Sinners Domain
Can Now Say
Without Fear
Without Contradiction
My Life Has Begun Again
ANDBy God's Grace
In Jesus' Faith
My Living
From Henceforth
Shall Not Be In Vain!

Brethren,
Let Us Hold On To
The Persevering Faith Of Jacob
AND DO NOTOf Jesus Christ Let Go!

Let Us
With The Consistent, Patient Persistence Of Elijah
The Name Of The Holy God
Valiantly
Uphold!

Our God
Is Faithful!
All Of God's Promises Are True!
A Home For Each Saint
Is Prepared In Glory
AND
The Eternal God
Is Waiting
Into The Blessed Home
To Welcome Me And You!

Let No One Kill Your Hope
For
Your Hope Is A Tree
Which Promises A Great Harvest
IFIt Is Well Manured
AND
Tended
With Faith
Constantly!

Accept From No Man
Supplements
For Instant Growth In Christ
For There Is No Such Growth
In The Almighty God's Realm
AND
Such
Is A Satanic
Salvation-Raping
Blessing-Denying
Device!

Brethren,
I Can Prove What I Am Saying
AND
I Point You To The Inspired Word:

AND
I Now Sincerely Ask You:

How Do You Get
Instant Growth
To Come Out Of Work
That Requires Godly Fear And ... Trembling?!

We Are Called To Be Like Jesus

Therefore:

Again ... The Master Said:

"WORK!"

Work Is Effort
AND
Of Duration
Long
So
Do Not Listen
To The Devil
AND
His Minions
Who
Write And Sing
The Obstructionist's Song
Desiring
With Bold Pleasure
To See You
Into Hellfire
Fall
Headlong!

Grace Is A State
Not Just An Instant
AND
Hurry Up!

Please Move Along!
Grace Is A State Of Being
Believing
Living
Doing
AND
Securing
AND
In Christ Jesus
Walking
In Patience And Faith
The Rest Of Your Life Long!

I Am Pleading, Dear Brethren!
I Am Begging You, Please
Trust In The Lord Always
AND
Do Not Take Out
On Earth
A Forever-I-Shall-Live-Here Lease!

Heaven And Earth
Shall Pass Away
BUT
The Word Of The Living God
Shall Forever Stand!

The Devil Is The Liar Always
AND
So Are They
Who Are At His Right Hand
Luring
Alluring
Teasing
Tempting
Beguiling
Defiling
Corrupting
AND
Benighting

AND

Jesus Christ's Faith Fighting!

Remember:

Just Because A Coin Is Shiny
It Does Not Mean
It Is Good Coin Of The Realm
So, Please
Do Not Grab At Mere Morsels
When For You
Because Of Faith
A Grand Banquet
Is Prepared!
Jesus Christ IS At The Helm!

Do Not
Fence Jump!
Fence Straddle!
Fence Lean!
Almighty God
Prepared For Us A Hedge
Of True Protection
AND
Inside Of It
The Water Is Living
AND
The Pasture Is Ever Green!

There Is Oil To Anoint Thy Head!
Your Cup Of Blessing Therein
Ever Overflows
AND
For Good Measure
Goodness And Mercy
Shall Surely Follow
In The Kingdom Of Grace
Which Leads To The Kingdom Of God's Glory
Where
- Having Kept Jesus Christ's Faith -
You Shall Live
FOREVERMORE!

Brethren,
Take Your Stance
AND
Stand ... For Jesus
AND
By So Doing

Live ... With Jesus
FOREVERMORE!
This - Of You -
In Jesus Christ's Name
I Implore!
