HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ... PRAYER: 20/20 Vision For Circa 2020






Father,
I Come Humbly, Believing, And Hope-Filled
Seeking Christ's Righteousness And Your Rich Blessings!
I Desire 20/20 Vision
In My Eye, My Ear, My Heart!
I Desire To See Jesus Christ Clearly
To Hear The Living Word Trustingly
And To Accept His Rulership
So That From The Ways Of Carnal, Sinful Flesh
I Shall Surely Depart!

I Do Not Ask For 20/20 Vision
To Play A Market That Will Inevitably Crash!
I Do Not Desire 20/20 Vision
To Know That Unchristian Entanglements
Will The Heart-For-Christ Smash
And
I Do Not Desire 20/20 Vision To Know
That Satan Seeks My Hope-For-Heaven
To Securely Dash!

You Have Given Unto Me The Word Of Truth
The Living Word For The Wise
The Word That Tells Of Jesus Christ
The One Who For Me Was Crucified
So
In Faith, For Love, With Hope, I Plead
For 20/20 Vision For The Year 2020
So That I, A Child, A Student, A Servant
Will Ever Always Be Able To See
My Father, My Teacher, My Master
My Hope, My Help, My Salvation
My Creator, My Redeemer, My Friend
My Lord,  My God, My King
My Surety, My Security
He Who Has In His Hand Extended To Me
Life, His Life, Without End!

Please Unstop My Itching Ears!
Please Clean My Beclouded Eyes!
Please Send An Angel To Place A Coal
From The Altar Of Heaven
Up My Known-Lying Carnal Tongue
And Take From Me The Heart Of Stone
And Fill Its Place With A Heart Of Flesh
Malleable To Your Ministrations
Your Leading
Your Will
Your Holy Way
And
Bless Me, Lord, Bless Me
With The Overarching Desire
To Never From Your Side
Ever Again To Walk Away!

Father,
We Can Tell The Weather
And We Recognize The Changing Season!
Please Help Us, Me And My Kind
To Recognize The Signs Of The Time
To Understand That A Man
Sitting Between Two Angels
Will Not Ever Be The God Of Glory
That The People Of God
Should Not Form Confederacies
With Known And Proud Idol-Worshippers
Against The Expressed Will Of The Eternal God
That Saturday Is The Sabbath Of The Creator God
That Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon
That The God Of Grace
Is The Same
Yesterday, Today And Forever
That Money Does Not Make A Man Rich
That Lack Of Money Does Not Make A Man Poor
That Only Good-Book Learning Makes A Man Wise
That Children Are An Heritage Of The Living God
That We Must All Give An Account
To The Eternal God
Whether We Are Rich, Poor, Free Or Slave
That To Obey Is Better Than To Offer Sacrifice
That Truth Is A Shield, A Sword And A Bed
That Satan Is Still The Father Of Lies
That Self Is Always A Bold Sinner
That Hope For Heaven Should Be
The Fact Of Our Lives
That Man Will Never Be Saved In Sin
That Man Is Required To Forsake Self, Sin And Satan
That Death Is Sleep To Be Awakened From For The Saint
That The Dead Know Exactly Nothing
Can Do Nothing, Can Hear Nothing
That The Dead Are Not In Heaven
But Are In Their Graves, Their Long Homes 
Awaiting The Voice Of The Arch-Angel
To Come Forth
Either To Commendation ... "Well Done!"
Or Condemnation ... "Depart From Me, I Know You Not!"
That The Only Holy Ground There Is
Is Where Two Or Three Are Gathered 
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Where He Promises To Be Present
That Jesus Christ Is No Magician
That He Never Promised His Servants Earthly Riches
And
That Our Wealth Is Stored In The New Jerusalem
The City Of God With Streets Of Gold
And Foundations Of Precious Stones!

Father,
Please Help Us To Have A Spring Cleaning
In Our Hearts
Clearing Out The Rubbish Of Sin
So That The Sun Of Righteousness
By The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
May Inhabit And Rule
Never To Depart!

Please Help Us To Be Kind To Ourselves
And
To Each Other
And 
For Jesus Christ's Sake!

Please Help Us To Live For The Lord Jesus Christ
To Walk In Truth
And
To Diligently, Faithfully, And Enduringly
Follow The Light That Is Life!

May The Holy Angels Influence Us Always
To Do The Good And The Right
And May We, By Our Faith-Filled Living
Seeks Always Our Glorious God Holy
Ever To Delight!

Oh, Father,
The Day That You Gave Us Is Ending
And Spiritual Darkness Does Descend!
Many With Misguided, Devilishly-Illuminated, Minds 
Are Calling Light, Darkness
Good, Evil
Sweet, Sour
And 
Saving, Ennobling, Truth Is Cast Down Into The Street!
Please Disabuse Them Of The Power Of 
Their Gross Conceit
The Vile Deceit
Because They Are Leading Innocent People Astray
And Please Remind Them That Without The Creator
The Lord Jesus Christ The Righteous
They Would Have Neither Body, Voice
And For Certain Sure
No Heart Beat!

Oh, Lord
How Are They Increased That Trouble Your People!
Please Remember, Please Succour
Those Who Are Being Persecuted, Prosecuted
Terrorized, Tortured, Demonized
And Remember The Marked Graves Of The Saints
Who Have Given Their Lives In Your Holy Service!
Remember Those Who Mourn
And Be With Those Who Anticipate A-Mourning!

Please Be With The Praying People!
Please Help Us To Endure By The Faith That Works
Because Of Love!
Please Help Us To Look Up And To Walk On
Carrying The Banner Of The Lord Christ
Refusing
No Matter How Strong The Provocation
No Matter How Enchanting The Enticement
Our Savior, Ever, To Deny!
Help Us Stand In Your Truth
Even If The Heavens Fall!

We Are Saved By Grace Through Faith:
It Is Your Gift To Us!
Help Us To Be Strong In You, Lord:
You Are Our Shepherd
And In Your Abiding Love
We Have Heart And Soul Rest!
Help To Remain Faithful!

Father,
Please Pity Us Who Pray!
Please Remember Us Who Look For The Coming Great Day
And Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home
For We, Your Believing, Watching, Waiting
Working, Wise-Unto-Salvation People
Will Have It To Be No Other Way!
Help To Remember That It Is
The Mighty God Whom We Serve!

Please Increase Our Faith!
Please Keep Us Humble, Hopeful, Harmless And Helpful
And 
Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For Which We Plead
In The Matchless Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
We Love You More Than Life!

Please Come For Us Soon, Lord!
AMEN!

Sin + PRAYER: Lord, I Need A New Life!




Ponzi Scheme!
Pyramid Scam!
Sin Is A Rolling Snowball ... Unhindered
That Will Land All Caught Up In It In Hell!
Do Not In Sin Dwell!

You'd Better Recognize ...

You Have Met Him!
You're Very Likely Him!

Faulty Character, Esq.
"Man" About Town
Pushy, Arrogant
Brash, Bold
Willing Sinner On Good Times Sold
Alienated
From The Household Of The Blessed
Because
He Can't Be Bothered
Known Soul-Damning Sin
To Repent And Confess!

Pride Is Stuck In His Craw!
Self-Serving 
Is 
A Bone Caught In His Jaw
And
Envy, Lust, Greed, Gainsaying
Doubt, Disbelief
Worldly Entanglements
Are Attached To Him Like 
Baby Lambs Attached To Dear Mama's Engorged Teats!

Self-Aggrandizement 
Self-Satisfaction
Self-Exaltation
Is 
The Goal!
It Wasn't Always That Way!

Once Upon A Time ... Today

Self Was An Occasional Holiday Rental
That Turned Into A Time-Share
That Decided That The Little
The Incremental Bit Was Insufficient:

Self Wanted All-Day Own-Way Always!

Heads-Up, Mate ...

There Was ... Actually Is
One Little Oversight:

Smart Pay
Sure Pay
Pay To Play
Is 
The Only Way
And
It Gets In The Way Of Being 
Perpetually Happy And Gay!

Today For Me!
Tomorrow For You!
Indulging Self Is A Sin Cultivating Sorrow
That Decimates Everyone
And
That Includes Me And You, Too!

Unchecked Sin!
Unchecked Sorrow!
Sinful Self Unchecked
Results In Unchecked Horrors!

What Do You Know ...

Doubt Started Doing The Dog!
Gainsaying Started Pontificating!
Pride Started Leaking Pus
And
Leviathan Started Parading His Pride Bus!

Regrets!
We All Have A Few ...

What Shall I Do!
To Whom Shall I Turn!?!
I Can't Afford This Bill! 


PRAYER:

Lord, 

I Wish This Selfish House
Of Wax-Works Would Burn!
I Need A New Life! 
This One Does Not Profit!

The One Who Encouraged My Investment
In His House
Is The Very One
Who, Over Me, Is Now Lording It
Because I Finally See The Guiding Light ... Of Life
And
I Feel My Need Of Mankind's, My, Savior! 
I Desire The Fresh Start 
The New Man
The Heart Of Flesh
And I Desire, Finally
To Get Home To The Promised Land!
Lord,
Help Me!
Save Me!
You Are My Only Hope
And
In Faith ... At Last
Nothing Wavering
It Is You To And For Your Sure Salvation
That I Willingly From Known-Sin Turn!


Heartfelt Prayer Changes Things ...

If You Have Not Yet Been So Informed
Please Be Advised That In Almighty God's Heaven
All Heartfelt Prayers Are Heard
And
Always Answered!

Answers Are 
Yes!
No! 
Wait!
Or 
Welcome To The Pain! Aka 
My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee!

All Answers Stand Upon The Pillar:

What Is For Your Good 

Is For Almighty God's Glory! 

There Are No Exceptions! 

Quit Your Blubbering ...

Emotionalism Does Not Impact The Lord: 
Faith, Obedience And Endurance Do!

You Have The Say ...

Your Will Is Not Taken From You! 

All To Jesus ...

Since You Are A Committed-To-Christ Follower
Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord
Will Cause You Before Him
- Who Is Your Shepherd -
Willingly To Lay Your Will Down
And
That Is When The Sin-Life Will Change
And
Against Your Life And Living
Satan Will Become Deranged!
Depend On It!

Sin 
Is 
Like Having Salt-Water Taffy, Strongman Toffee
Bubble Yum, Fruit Gushers, Jawbreakers 
And
A Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper
Rolled Into One "Treat"
Which ... After A "Nice" Taste
- Unless You're A Glutton For Punishment -
You Will Not Put On Taste: Repeat!

Wha' Sweeten Goat Mout' ...!

Brethren Be Wise!
Express ...

Repentance To Almighty God
And
Faith In Christ Jesus
And
Trust The Grace Provided
And
Enjoy The Promised Rewards
- In The Fullness Of Time -
That Are Most Assuredly
Not Satan's Ghoulish, Grandiose, Frauds!

Sin Costs!
Sin Cannot Pay
Not For A Second
A Minute
An Hour
A Day
Nor A Year
No Matter What Lying Satan Says!

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

Only Trust The Living Word
Of 
The Holy God!

PRAYER: Father, Forgive My Folly!




Father,
Forgive Me My Folly!
For A Moment, Yesterday
In A Fit Of Seeming Madness
I Lived In The Bold Sight Of My Eyes
And
Discontent Near Well Consumed Me!
Please, Won't You Fix 
This Deceitful Man-Heart That Is Mine?

I Am Not Hungry!
I Am Not Naked!
I Have A Sound Roof Over My Head
And
I Have Options:

Eat Don't Eat!
Sleep Don't Sleep!
Walk! 
Run!
Speak To A Brother Sister!
Read A Book!
Do A Stitch!
Feel The Warmth
Of The Sun
And
The Son
And Yet ...!

Father,
I Believe In You!
I Trust You!
I Love You!
I Bless Your Holy Name
And 
I Have The Blessing
Of Your Provision For My Needs
And 
I Know I Serve The Eternal
The Great God Of Grace
Who Has Made
In His Home
For Me A Heavenly Place
And
It Is Only Because Of Your Spirit
That I Realized 
Recognized
What A Mere Moment
Of Inward Focus
Can Create For A Soul!
Lord,
What Happens To Those
Who Have Not Christ
For Their Locus?!

I Have Little
But It Is Enough!
Many Have Much More
But
In The Round Of Daily Discontent
They Desire Great Houses
To Warehouse Their Stores
Of Goods Not Good
Grand Things Not Great
And 
For Satisfaction
To The Devil They Gradually Speed
By Locking You Outside
Their Swollen
Prideful Heart's
Rusting And Locked Gate!
Pity Them!
Pity Us All, Lord!
Let Not Satan 
- By Fraud -
The Faithful Few 
Decimate!

Father,
I Do Not Covet
Another Man's Goods
Nor The Person Of Their Spouse
Their Mechanical Cattle
Their Land
Nor Their House
But 
What I Do Covet 
Is Your Favor
Your Blessing Today
Please, In Mercy
Rid Me Of Those Traits Of Character
- Inherited Or Cultivated -
Those Spirits
Of Discontent
Hate Greed Lust
Faithlessness
Doubt
And
Will To Sin
That Satan May Exploit
To Ride Me Around
Causing Me To Live
In Ungodly Fear
And 
Sinful Doubt!
Lord, Give Them All The Damnation Rout!

I Am Yours, Lord!
Help Me To Guard My Heart
By Not Focusing Inward
But Out And Up
By Doing The Blessed Work Of My Master
And
Offering To Help Another Soul
Be It By Hand Up
Or Help Out!

Father,
The Living Word
Is Daily Being Proven True
And 
With The Working Faith
Of The Forefathers
And 
In The Believing Faith Given By The Holy Jesus
In Whose Name I Make This Plea
Lord,
For My Present Help
- In Humility -
I Look To Thee!
For Your Coming Kingdom
Please Save And Seal Me!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Savoring Satan





I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are One!
One Person
One Ideal
One Fact
One Foe
No Good Fillip
No Good Gold!

Self
AND
Self-Adulation
Self- Gratification
AND
Self-Aggrandisement
Are
The Lost Soul's Sole Goal!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are Strung Out
On
Self Dope!
Self-Made Rope!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Speak
To Self
About Self
For Self
Because Of Self
Identifying Self
AND
Creates Its Own Savor
AND 
Is Its Own Savior!

How Ridiculous!
What's Wrong With Saying
I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself?

Nothing ... By Itself!
BUT
When Every Single Solitary
Syllable Of Speech
Stems
Starts
AND
Spreads Out
Like A Line-Dried White Sheet
Then ... THEN
Is When You Know
That Self
Is Savoring Satan
Imbibing His Delusions
His Wine
His Willfulness
Forgetting That There Is The Eternal God
Seeking
To Save A Soul Lost
Who Is Walking Wild 
AND
Blind
AND
At Fearful Cost!

Oh.

Give Self To The Savior
AND
Satan Can't You Sway!
Give Self To Satan
AND
You Are On A Hellbound Cruise
Called
Own-Sin Pay-day!

That's Awful Harsh! 

So Was The Savior's Sacrifice!

Oh.

How Erudite You Are! Not!!

I'm Sorry!
It's Just That
All The Years
Everybody Said:

"Lift Up Your Self
For
Self-Made Always Gets Fed!"

It Seemed Sooo ... Simple
But How You Put It
It Is Just ... Saaaad!

Self Without A Savior 
Is
The Self ... Sacrificed
On The Altar Of Ambition
With Greed As The Steed
Pride As The Nose-Ring Lead
AND
Satan Aggressively Stimulating
Your "Felt" Need!

Anything
That We Can Do Without
Is Not A Need!
What We Need
Really Need
Is The Savior!

And ...

The Savior Says
Seek First
The Kingdom Of God
AND
His Righteous
AND
All Good Things 
Will Be Added On
To Me 
AND
To You!

Well ...
Since You Put It Like That
I Will Acknowledge
That I Am Self Centered ...! 

And ... 

I Shall Say That
If You Acknowledge
That You Are By Self
Cornered
AND
Appeal To Jesus
For Relief
He Can Do A Good Thing
In AND For
You!
Salvation In Him Is Achieved
AND
Satan Can You Any Long Deceive!


I Like That!
You've Got Yourself A Deal!

God Be With You!
Blessings Await!
Satan Is The Liar!
Leave Him
To His Just Fate!
Ignore His Sly Titillate
AND
His Tried
Tired Tittivate
AND
You Will Gain The Right
By Trusting
AND
Obeying
Our Lord Jesus
To Enter The Heavenly City
Through
The Protected Gate!
