Suffering Loss ... + PRAYER: Father, I Don't Know How To Pray





How Do You Live
When You Are Going To Die?

How Do You Laugh
When You Are Going To Cry?

How Do You Sing
When There Is No Song Within
AND
Loving Ain't So Easy When Your Heart Is Aching?

How Do You Care
When You Have Nothing To Share?

How Do You Lie
When The Truth Has You Quaking?

How Do Believe
When Your Faith Has No Seed
AND
Appearing To Stand Tall
Seems Like You're The World Trying To Deceive?

How Do You Pray?
How Do You Say
Father, Dear Father
Is There No Other Way?





Oh, Lord,
I Don't Know How To Pray!
Father,
Are You Even There?
Help Me
My Life Has Lost Its Song
And It Seems As Though
Everything Is Going Wrong!

Lord,
I Don't Feel Like Trusting You
But
Trusting You, I Surely Do!
I Don't Feel Like Praising You
But
Praise You Lord, Is What I Do!
I Don't Feel Like Going On
But
I Am Going On, Lord
For I Have Proved
Time And Again
That You Are Never Wrong!

Father,
Pity Me
In My Dread Plight!
Father
Pity Me
For My Eyes Have No Sight!
Father,
Bless Me
Despite This Dark Day's Night
And
Carry Me On
To Delight In Your Holy Light!
Have Mercy, Dear Lord
On Me!
I Love You, Father!
AMEN

He Who Is The Master






He Said: Call On Me!
He Did Not Say How Loudly Or How Long Or How Often!

He Said: Wait On Me!
He Did Not Say Where OR How Long!

He Said: Trust Me!
He Said Why And What For!

He Said: Believe!
He Said On Whom and What For!

He Said: Lay Your Burdens Down!
He Did Not Give A Burden Type Or Weight Limit But He Said On Whom And For What!

He Said: Pray Without Ceasing!
He Did Not Give Labels Under Which To Pray But He Did Say To Whom To Pray And How To Pray!

He Said: Bless The Lord!
He Also Said How Many Times!

He Said: Love God!
He Also Said How To Love God And Also To Love Your Neighbor!

He Said: Ye Are The Light And Salt!
He Also Said Of What Ye Are The Light And Salt!

He Said: Ye Are The Temple Of God!
He Also Stated That The God Whose Temple Ye Are Is The True And Living God And That That God Is Called Jealous, And Is Jealous For His Possessions, And His Name!

He Said: Do Not Fear!
He Also Stated What Not To Fear And Why Not To Fear And Where Fear Comes From!


He Who Is The Master
Has Made Provision For His Own!
He Provides Food And Shelter
AND
His Children
Never,  Ever, Walk Alone!

He Who Is The Master
Provides For Body 
AND 
Soul Health
BUT 
Not Through Some DVD 
OR
Best-Selling Book On A Night Shelf!

He Who Is The Master
Never Says To His Children:
"Do It - Just Because!"
He Says: "Let Us Reason Together!"
For Each Child Had A Built-In
Free Will
AND
Way Clause! 

He Who Is The Master
Provides Heaven's Blessed Bread
AND
Living Life Water
AND
Daily 
The Sheep In His Fold Are Fed!

*********

The Master
- Our Master -
IS
KING JESUS!

God's Love Has No Strings!




See King is Looking for Love!
Loo King is Seeking Grub!
Ma King is Faking Love!
Fa King is Making Love for Grub!
Ta King is Making Grub for Love!
Stal King is Taking Love Grub!
Haw King is Talking Grub Love, and
Gaw King is Hawking Love in White Gloves!

Love is Grub to Some!
Grub is Love for Some!
No Love is when Grub is Done for Some!
No Grub is when Love is Done for Some!

Some Love!
Some Grub!
Some Love, and Grub!
Some Lie!
Some Cry
And 
All Try
To Tie Love to Things that Die
But
There is True Love
And
There is True Food
That Comes from Him
Who in Gethsemane Stood
Then Knelt
And Prayed
Till Love's Blood Poured Forth
From The Pores
On The Body
Of The Loving Lord!

No False
No Fake
No Love Twice-Baked
Just Love
God's Love
Not Love On The Take!

God's Love Has No Strings
No Attachment To Pretty Things
Just Love Serene
From The God of Heaven - Supreme!

So ...
If Your Love Hurts
Or
It Hurts To Love
Or 
The Love You Receive
Requires
White Gloves
A Coating of Teflon 
And
Nerves of Steel
180 Degrees
IS The Turn You Must Make
For What You Are Receiving
Is
Courtesy of The Fake
The Foul
The Fiend
The Fraud
And 
I Cannot Say It Any Louder
Repair To The Lord
Love Sublime
Love True
Rewarder of The Faithful
The King Of Love
Who Died For Me 
and 
For You!

Jesus Christ Died
AND
It Proves
That
Love Is An Action
Not 
A Chemical Reaction!

*******

LEARN

and

LIVE

THE  DIFFERENCE!!

It Is Well With My Soul!?

In The Midst of Grave Illness
"It Is Well With My Soul!"
Was The Song of My Heart!
I Sang it Every Day Upon Awakening
For It Dispelled The Thoughts of The Night Dark!

For Months My Song Gave Me Comfort
For Months It Got Me Through The Day
Until That Fateful Morning When
I Plainly Heard My Savior Say:


"Is it Really Well With Your Soul
As You Sing Every Day 
Or 
Are Those Just Words
That Let Your Voice Be Heard 
And 
Something You Like To Say?"

Though Stunned, I Continued Singing
My Voice Cracking now:


"Though Satan Should Buffet
Though Trials Should Come
Let This Blest Assurance Control
That Christ Hath Regarded
My Help ... less ... Es ... tate
And ... Ha ... th Sh ... edd ...
Hi ...sss ... Own ... Bl ... ooddd
For ... Myyy .. Ss ...oo ..."

And, Oh, How The Tears Flowed ...

I Looked Through The Open Window
Raising My Eyes Up Toward Heaven
And Acknowledged The Question:



The Words Are Important - They Are The Song Of My Heart
I Love Me My Jesus - From Him I Won't Depart
I Am A Work In Progress - I've Made Many Mistakes
But Where It Comes To The Love of Jesus - I Am Not A Fake ...
Jesus Promised To Be My Shepherd - I'm A Sheep
Sometimes Sheep Go Astray ...

BUT ...


Jesus Christ Knows This Heart
And He Is With Me - I Know He Cares!
Soooo ...

I Inhaled Deeply - A Shuddering Breath
And With The Love Of God In Me
I sang:


"It is We ... lll
With My So ... ull
It is Well ... IT IS WELL
With My Soul
Lord, Jesus, Hold On To Me
Help Me Hold On To You
Lord, Have Mercy On Me ... "
Dear Ones:

The Words of The Songs And Hymns Of The Faith Are Not Just Words!

If They Were Just Words, The Holy Spirit Would Not Have Inspired The Apostle To Pen The Immortal Words Beseeching Us To Comfort Ourselves And Others With Psalms, Hymns And Spirituals Songs! I Say Ourselves Because What Purpose Is Served By Our Comforting Others With Songs Which Are Of No Comfort To Ourselves?!




Listen! Really Listen To The Words Of The Old Hymns Which Speak Of 
Overcoming Adversity
Traveling To The City
Trusting God For Provision, and
Testifying Of Grace Bestowed
Merciful Pardon Received
Enduring Peace Provided
Hope for Glory Sustained
Daily Mercies Displayed
Wholehearted Faith Grounded
Comfort
Everlasting Joy And Deliverance, And More!

What Is Your Testimony?

Please, Look Within And Encourage Yourselves And The Brethren By Sharing Your Stories Of Battles Fought And Victories Won, And Being Won As You Say With Conviction:


"Yes, Lord! 
With You Guiding My Footsteps
And Me Following In Faith
No Matter The Upset
No Matter The Shame Or Disgrace
I Stand On Your Promises
I Believe In, Love, And Trust You
I Will Stay In The Safe Fold 
For Jesus, My Savior, In You
It Is, Indeed, Well, With This Soul!"

Be Well, and Be Gloriously Blessed,

BJ

Personal Puzzler: What Does This Mean To You?

1. Clean Body
Dirty Soul!

2. Clean Food
Dirty Bowl!

3. Living in Hell
Heaven's the Goal!

4. Devil Dole
Christ's Fold!

What Does This Mean To You?

To Me:

Fact:
I was born a sinner.
I may bathe me outwardly but still ... I sin.

Clean Outwardly - inwardly a white-washed tomb, full of sin and trespasses. 
I need The Cleansing!

Fact:
Jesus Christ died after giving us His Living, Holy Word. He lives, and He gives us His Holy Life.

The Word of God is Clean and Nourishing Food going into an Unclean Vessel - Me - who can be is clean only through My Acknowledgment of His Supreme Sacrifice, and My Personal Acceptance of His Saving Grace.

Fact:
Satan directs The Leaders Sinners Unbelievers of This Earth. 
God Rules and Reigns over in The Affairs of Men.

Satan makes The Body of The Believer exceedingly uncomfortable but ... Since Jesus Christ is The Lord, and guards, guides and protects, keeping Heaven in sight will make even living in and enduring Hell a Badge of Delight ... until The Day dawns.

Fact:
The Devil delights in delivering The Depraved their Damnation even as he Doles out Disease and Destruction to Those that Delight in The Delivering Lord.

The Devil may hurt and The Devil may destroy, even kill The Body BUT he can never destroy The Soul of The Saint which Soul finds its Rest in The Fold of The Father of The Faithful.

God in Zion Reigneth
In this, This Mortal Soul Delights
Until The Day that The Change Comes
And, Immortal, I take flight
To Rest in Peace in The Pasture
In The Kingdom of Light
Nevermore to walk in The Darkest
Evermore to have My God in My Sight!

Rational Nonbelievers ... Dying To Live Free!?!





I am not a Humanist!
Neither am I "Dying to Live Free!"
Jesus Christ IS My Creator -
I Follow Him! I'm Signally FREE!

I am no Freethinker!
I cannot Walk by My Sight!
Jesus is My Pathway -
His Word is the Lamp lighting My way!

I am no Illuminated Highness!
I am no Self-willed Sin-loving Slave!
I Believe in Jesus Christ, My Lord!
I will Rise from Death! I'm by Jesus Christ Saved!

I do not need books to "Prove The Godhead!"
I will not seek to be Rational and Freewheeling re: GOD!
I Trust God's Word! I had have Sin - Jesus is My Cure!
I will be Lifted Up! Almighty God IS The Lord!

Do not try to "MOVE My Mindset" from Believer to Nonbeliever!
I "Came OUT" of Sin - not to Sexual Immorality Deviancy!
I will not use "God's Understanding"
To cover Licentiousness with Dr. Dog, Honor de Cat
Biggie Horse, Striped Stripped Human and Decaying Duppy!
Get away from Me! I'm not Sipping Deada with You and Satan!
I'm Blissfully, Happily in Jesus Christ FREE!

Divine Intervention IS My Bulwark -
Keep Pragmatic Interventions out of My Way!
I Trust Believe in The Living God - not Wicked Sin-loving Man
Who can't keep himself off the Can!
How, then, can he keep My Soul from being Damned?

Rational Nonbelievers a/k/a Freethinkers
Atheists, Satanists, Witches, Warlocks and the Like
Are in for a Rude Awakening
When Jesus Christ Returns ... As "The Thief In The Night!"

SO ...

Don't use your Corrupted Education as a Smoke Screen for Sin!
You do not have an excuse for Non-Belief for
God's Message of Love, Help, Hope and Healing
Salvation, Sanctification, and Redemption
Is written in Each Soul -
You WILL ANSWER for Disbelief when Jesus Christ breaks through The Clouds!

I am Free!
You can be Free - Give up Your Idols!
Stop bowing before the god of Sales, Self
Self-Aggrandizement, Free Sex, Gratify Me and Me Satisfy!
Give up your altar to That Demon and 
Bow before Almighty God -
He WILL Your Suffering Soul Surely Securely Satisfy!

Once ... To Every Man And Nation. The Die Has Been Cast.

THE CURSE

Romans 1:24-27King James Version (KJV)

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

PRAYER:

Father, have mercy upon our Nation!
For We have chosen to defy 
Your Holy Word, Your Words of Love
For Favors from those 
Who call You a myth and a lie!

You are Holy, Lord!
You are Faithful - it is true!
Have mercy on your Praying People
For, Lord, we truly love You!

Have Mercy, Lord, on the #StrugglingToBeASaint
Those whose bodies are bringing them nigh to a faint
Grant them the Power of The Holy Spirit
To not let Willful Flesh against 
Your Will for their lives compete!

Lord, grant them The Power 
To deny that Sinful Lust!
Raise up within each Striving Soul 
A Spirit of Revulsion
To deny the Unclean Thing
And a Spirit of Obedience 
That will help them to seek always to do Your Will.

Father, help us all to Surrender our Selves 
To Your Leading, Lord
To do Your Bidding and
To preach and teach Your Truths
Without fear and trembling!
Oh, Father, save us 
From the fiery darts of The Evil One!
In Jesus' Precious Name
We ask these Mercies, Lord
Amen.

And all who are known to have walked away from The Wrong 
Will have happy hearts overflowing with Redemption’s Song!
