JESUS CHRIST: King Or Judge

There Is No Blessing In Folly!
There Is No Peace In Rage!
There Is No Hope In Doubt
And
To Read The Whole Holy Book
The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God
You Must Diligently Turn Each Page!

We Have The Blessed Savior ...

There Is Our Father In Heaven
Whose Only Beloved Son Died On The Cruel Cross
To Save And To Bless
To Redeem Mankind
So That The Kingdom Of Light
Should Not Suffer Irreplaceable Loss!

We Have A Raging Enemy ...

There Is The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Fiend Who Fools People Into Believing
That He Has Their Best Interests At Heart
And
That He Is Able Their Lives To Bless
But
I Urge You, Brethren
To See Your Benefactor For Who He Is
The Adversary Of Your Own Soul
The Raging Lion
The Piercing Serpent
Leviathan ... Behemoth
The Liar ... The Murderer
The One Who Desires Worship
He Who Is The Wannabe
And
Every-Lying And Known False god!

A Simple Word Of Caution ...

Do Not Dig A Pit
Set A Trap
Or Prepare A Net To Cause Any Person To Perish 
Just Because You Do Not Like Them
Their Politics, Religion, Sexual Orientation
Color, Financial Status
Access, Reach And Grasp
Because
As The Good Book Says:

Brother, Sister
Close Family
Far-Off, Close Or Familiar Friend
Enemy Of The Truth
Lover Of The Lie
Faithful Servant
Child Of God
Student Of The School Of Jesus
Whatever You Are
Wherever You Be
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves You
Just As He Loves Me!

I Urge You, Beloved
Look Up To Christ Jesus
And
In Faith ... With Endurance
Walk On The Strait, Straight And Narrow Road
If
It Is Your Heart's Desire
To Be At Home With The King
Our Soon-Returning Lord And Holy God!

Times And People Change ...

Enemies Can Become Friends
When Truth Is Embraced
And
Friends Can Become Enemies
When Truth Calls Out Their Double-Life
To Their Very Face!

We, Humans, Have A Choice To Make
Follow The Lord ... And Live
Follow The Liar ... And Contrary Walk!
In Short
Whatever The Decision For Your Life You Make
Walk Your Talk Wholeheartedly
Because
Fence Jockeying Benefits Neither Self
Nor Any Other Body!

The Holy Spirit Is Calling!
The Lord Christ Wants To Save Me And You!

As Jesus Christ
In The Living Word Has Made Plain
And
We All Need To Know:

Be Ye Hot

Or

Be Ye Cold

But

If You Are Lukewarm

Spewed Out Of My Mouth

You Shall Go!

Rich, Proud And Loud
Or Poor, Humble And Meek
Choose You This Day
The Character Of Your Life
And
Follow Him Faithfully
Whom You Belief Will Give You The Best
That Is ... Eternal Life!

Personal, Final, Decisions Must Be Made ...

I Shall By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- Who Us Leads Into All Truth -
Follow The Master, That Suffering Servant
Jesus Christ The Shepherd
The King
The Lord
For Love
And
Not Just For The Promised Reward!

... And You Have The Choice To Make:

Follow Jesus Christ 
And 
Let Him Be Your Welcoming King
Or
Follow Satan 
And 
Let Jesus Christ Be To You, Your Judge!

I Choose Jesus
And
By His Grace
I Shall Not From My Position Budge!
Please Join Me!

What Good Is ...!?!

What Good Is Faith
When We Do Not Believe The Word!?!

What Good Is Present Help
When We Have No Hope For The Future!?!

What Good Is Following The Church Leader
When We Don't Trust The Master Of Creation!?!

What Good Is Heaven
When We Have No Pleasure
In Righteousness Here!?!

Why Pray For Rain
When The Field Is Flooded!?!
Why Pray For Sun
When There Is A Drought!?!

Why Walk Fast
When Your Body Is Weary To Breaking!?! 

Why Walk To Zion
When Your Burden On The Lord Christ Is Not Cast!?!

There Is, Obviously

A Great Need For Self-Examination

So ... 

Take The First Step: Recognize That

You Are A Sinner

And

Acknowledge Your Sin! 

Take Step Two: Recognize That There Is The Savior

And 

That For Him You Have A Need! 

Take Step Three: Accept 
And 
Acknowledge 

That Your Need For The Savior Is Real! 

Take Step Four: Reach For Him Who Can And Will
Fix Your Need
And
Lead You To The Great Reward!

Thought Without Action Is Dreaming

So ... 

Cast Your Burden Upon The King Of Love
The Lord Of Hill Zion!

Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
When The Flooded Field 

Is

Sin In The Land All Around!

Pray For Son-Shine
When Your Soul 

Is 

Parched From Sin's Drought

And

Walk Fast Even Though Bodily Weary
When Seeking To Escape The Camp Of
The Enemy Of Souls
Satan, The God-Fraud!

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is
Our All In All
And
He Blesses All Who 

- In Working Faith -
On His Holy Name ... Believing
Humbly Call!

Ask The Lord To Fix You
But
Don't Tell Him When Where And How
To Fix You!

If You ... A Mere Man
Can Direct The Traffic Of
The Son Of God
The Glory Of Man
Then
You Have No Need Of Heavenly Help
Because
You Are, Yourself
God On The Earth

And

Since You Are A Physician
Heal Thyself!

If You're God
You Have No Need To Be Saved!
You Make Your Own Ink
Your Own Paper
Your Own Pen
You Invent Your Own Story
And
The Accuser Of The Holy Brethren
Has, By Your High Hand
Already Been Dispensed!

Bottom Line ... 

Man Is Created

So He Needs His Creator!

Man Is Dependent

So He Needs Him Who Is Provider!

The Provider Is The Lord

Who Is Sustainer

Savior 

Redeemer

Judge God And King 

And

It Is In Our Best Interests

With Him To Be Always Talking

And

Our Burdens To Him Always Taking
And
By His Side Always Walking! 

Trust God ... And Grow

And

To Highest Heaven

You Shall Surely Go! 

Almighty God Is Good

And

What Is For Our Good

Is

Ever Always From Almighty God!

Loving Condescension! + PRAYER: I'm Trusting, Father, In Christ Jesus!

Jesus Christ
Condescended Unselfishly
- His Redeeming Love Showing -
To Humiliate His Majestically Royal Holy Self
In Order To Save 

And 

Elevate  

Those By Sin Cast-Down
- Humiliated -
So That They
- By Personal Choice -
- By Faith Through Grace -
- By Willing Obedience -
May Ascend To Share In His Royal Majesty
In The Glorious Heavenly Place!

Where Are YOU !?!

Are YOU In The Race?!
Have YOU In Heaven Reserved Your Own Place?!
Will YOU Of Salvation's Sweet Fruit
Enjoy A Taste
Or
Will YOU 
By Presumption
Live The Dread Life Of The Disgraced?!

Are YOU Among The Pridefully Pious
The Vainglorious Saintly
The Inordinate Proud
Taking Pride In Pleasure
And 

Running Wild
With The Wild Goat's Lost-To-Heaven Crowd
Bragging
Boasting
Toasting The Sin In The Town
The Tongue
Ignoring Almighty God's Truth
And 
Cussing The Eternal God's Saints
Vitriolically Loud?!

You Should Know That ...

You Are Bought With A Price
Not Of Silver
Not Of Gold
But
Of The Blood Of The Pascal Lamb
For 30 Pieces Of Silver Sold
Who ... Willing
Submitted Himself
To Every Indignity 

Found In Man's Vile Imagination

So That Fallen Man
Unto Father God
May
Redeem-ed Be!

To Those Who Believe

Those Who Will To Walk

With Heavenly Love Abiding

And

In Abiding Love Trusting:

Heaven Awaits!

Your Love Of The Lord Christ

Will Not Be A Bust

For

Your Self-Will To His Will

Will Have Been Committed

And

By His Abiding Grace

The Beguiling Serpent

Will Be Outwitted

Will Be Outlived!

Stay The Course

Because

It's Time ... Now

- For Heaven -

To Get Outfitted!

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

PRAYER:

Father,

I'm Trusting In The Lord Jesus

For

My Sure Salvation!

Please Help Me

So That My Faith Fail Not

In The Midst Of The Fiery Trials

And

Tribulations

Of

Daily Life!

Grant Unto Me

Your Grace

And

Your Sufficiency

And

Bless Me, Father

To Arrive Safely ... At Home!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

In Faithful Submission

To The Loving Will

I, A Child Blessed

In True Sorrow For Sin

Seeing My Real Need

Plead!

AMEN.

The True Watchers Are Writing ...!

Don't Be Presumptuous!
Heed The Heaven-Sent Warnings That You Get!
Don't Let Power

Pride
AND
Pride Of Placement
- Like Nebuchadnezzar Of Old -
Cause You To Utter Words
That Should Be Best Left Unsaid
For
The True Watchers Are Writing
AND
At The Command Of The Holy God
They Will Utter You-Don't-Want-It Judgment
On Your Exposed Inflated Head!

Weapons Are For War
AND
Words Are Weapons
Even Those Words That You, Yourself, Utter
In Shameless Praise Of Some Big Small Thing
You Did Do Are Doing
While Boldly Ignoring The God Of Heaven
Who Does Everything For Me And For You!

You May Want To Do That Thing Called Stopping!

Do Yourself A Big Favor
AND
Of The Great Babylonian King
Carefully Take Note
That

• Dream Comes
• Spirit Becomes Distressed
• Interpretation Is Sought
• Interpretation Is Revealed
• Caution Is Plainly Given
• PLUS A Spelled-Out Comfort For Heeding
• Heart Is Set At Ease ... By Passage Of Time

Until ...

That Glad Morning
When You Think Yourself ... Divine
AND
The God Of Heaven
- Whilst The Words Are Still Truly Tasty In Your Big Mouth -
Turns Your Lofty Pride To Ashes
AND
All Your Good Things Formerly Headed North
Suddenly Fall Sharply South
AND
You Find Yourself
Eating Crow AKA Grass
AND
Crawling On Bird-Clawed All-Fours
With Wildly Growing Hair Long Like Feathers
Covering The Mold 

From Which Your Customized Gold Chair Was Cast!

The Caution Given Was:

Put Off

YOUR Sins

By Righteousness

"To Lengthen Your Tranquility!"

Right Living Is A Virtue!
Sin Is A Reproach!
AND
Sorry Is Not Necessary
If You Don't Run Around Smelling
From Playing Wid De Ole Wild Goat!

The Lord Does Nothing
Without Telling His Servants The Prophets
AND
I Do Not Mean
Those Nuisances

The Prophets That Profit!

Be Ye Warned!

Keep Truth ... In Your Inward Parts!

AND
Keep Lust ... Outside Your Heart's Door
Because
If Lust Should Get Away In There
There Will Be Unwanted Hell
To Pay!

Do You Hear
Understand
Accept
Appreciate
Get
What It Is That I Say?!

Well ...

If You Do
Say A Prayer

Do A Good For A Sister Brother

AND
Have A Blessed Day

For

Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man

AND

Like It Or Not

Neither One Of Us May Have Another!

HE SAID: I Did! - Trusting In The Lord Christ!

I Am In Love
With A Jealous God!

Aren't They All?!

I Don't Know
About A "They All!"
I Just Know About The Jealous God
Whose Name Is Jealous!

Really!?!

Yes!
He Does Not Share!
He Desires All Of My Love
For His Own
AND
As For His Glory
It Is All His!
His, Alone!

He Is So Giving!
He Told Me Up Front:

I Will Always Love You!
I Will Ever Provide For You!

He Told Me Straight
What's Good To Aspire
AND
Plainly Informed Me
What's Best To Retire!

Sounds Really Controlling!

Oh, No!
Not At All!

He Is Just Very Specific
About The Heart
He Holds In His Hand!

When We First Met
He Told Me Quite Plain:

This Is All Blessings!
He Showed Me The Right!

This Is All Cursings!
He Showed Me The Left!

AND
Told Me To Choose
Which One I Will Receive
AND
Never At Any Point
Did He Try To Me Deceive!

He Said I Have Choice!
He Says I Have Will!
I Can Choose To Give Him My Will
Which Will Permit Him
To Mark Out My Path
AND
At The End Of This Life
My Trove Of Blessings
He Will Continue
- For Eternity -
To Fill!

Sounds Like A Bill Of Goods To Me!

To You, Maybe!
But, To Me
My Beating Heart
At His Name
Completely And Totally
Thrills!

How Gullible!

Excuse Me?!
I Don't Understand!

My God Is Holy!
My God Is True!
My God Is Faithful!
AND
He Is Calling Out To You!

What God Ever Does Anything
Except Hold Out Their Frozen Hand?!

Ahhh! There's Your Problem!

Frozen-God Hand!
Frozen-Handed Gods
Are Not Gods!
They Are Idols!

My God Is Alive!
I Can Call Upon Him
At Any Time
AND
He Answers!
He Responds!
He Takes Care Of Me
AND
All That He Requires
Expects From Me
Is Faithfulness
No Doubt
Constancy
No Wavering
Trust
No Backsliding!
In Him
I Am Confiding!

One Is Born Every Day!

What Is That?!

A Sucker!

Oh, My!
I Don't Know Of Anyone Else!
I Speak For Myself!
I Know That I Was Lonely
Lost
Floundering
Wandering
Wayward
Alone
When I Met Jesus
And, Now
My Life Is Complete!

He Said:
Cast Your Cares On Me!
I Did!

He Said:
Trust And Obey!
I Am Trying
By His Grace
That Challenge
To Fullfil!

He Said:
Walk In Faith!
I'm Trying Not To Walk By Sight!

He Said:
I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!
I Hold His Hand
Even When I Want To Relent!

Your Funeral!

He Told Me:

It Is Appointed Once

For Man To Die

And Then The Judgment!

Excuse Me?!

Judgment? What Judgment?!

Oh, Dear ...!

The Creator God

Becomes

The Judge Of His Creation

In The Day Of His Appointing

AND ALL MANKIND
Must Give An Accounting

Of His Life's Deeds!

To The Repentant
He Is The Welcoming King!

To The Unrepentant

He Is The Frowning

Aka Executing Judge!

Everybody Tells Me

Enjoy Life!

You Live!

You Die!

End Of Story!

But, YOU ...!!

You've Upset My Apple Cart!

You Just Burst My Bubble

And You've Done Put A Tremble
A Real Tremble

In My Heart!

What Do I Do?!

Where Do I Go?!

Who Can I Turn To -

I Really Don't Want

The Frowning Judge Score!

Jesus Christ

Is The Answer

First Question To Last!

In Him Is Life Eternal!

On Him Your Burdens

You May Cast!

Trust Him - He Is Faithful!

Lean On Him - He Is Strength!

Hold On To Him - He Is Life

AND

Follow Him

For
He Leads To Eternal Life!

Pray For Forgiveness
For The Rotten Deeds Of Your Past Life!

How On Earth Do I Do That?!

Tell The Truth!

Say What You Did!

Acknowledge That You Were Wrong!

Say You Are Sorry

AND

Ask Jesus To Lead You

The Rest Of Your Life

Be It Short Or Long!

Pray Is Personal Communication!

Tell The Truth Freely!

Forgiveness By Confession

And Repentance

Comes Your Way

BUT

Be Assured Of This One Thing

Going To Jesus

Means Satan Is Going To Be Dogging Your Way!

So, Please
Pray
AND

Keep Praying
AND

Keep Trusting!

Trust Gives Growth To Love

And Soon

Satan Will Have To Leave You Alone

At Least For Those Things

For Which

You Did Let Christ's Spill Blood Atone! 

But ... Know This

Give No Place To The Devil!

Not An Inch!

Not Even A Scratch!

When He Calls

Ask Jesus To Answer

AND 
He Will Run From You Far!

No One Has To Die Without Jesus!

No One Has To Face The Judgement Alone!

Jesus Pleads His Blood For The Faithful

AND

The Father Accepts

His Beloved Son's Spilt Blood - It truly Atones!

Will You Pray With Me?!

Our Father

Up In Heaven

We On The Earth

Accept The Promise

Offered To Us

In Jesus Christ's Spilt Blood!

Here Is A New Resident

For The Eternal Kingdom

Who Desires Forgiveness

From The God Who Is Love ...! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Hopscotch Board

When I Was A Child
Beneath The Age Of Consent
Running Hopscotch
Was A Thing
Where Much Time Was Spent!
Mommies And Daddies
Would Join In On Moonlight Nights
AND
Soon Everybody On The Street
Was Playing!
Oh, What A Delight!

The Goal
Was To Get From The Bottom No. 1
To The Top No. 9
AND
Return
Without Losing One's Balance
AND
Falling
For
The Master Of The Board
Was The One Who Could Reach
The Highest Number
For The Start
AND
Return
AND
Dismount From Your Number Start
Again Without
On Your Face
Falling
AND
Giving Everybody Else Observing
Playing
Something To Laugh And Shout About!

It Was Easy!
It Was Hard
AND
It Was Fun
But The Passage Of Time
Soon Made The Game A Discard!

UNTIL ...

In Adulthood
In Life
AND
In Faith
Hopscotch Returned
Forcefully
AND
Placed Me
In A Rather Peculiar Place!

If You Look
At The Hopscotch Board
You Will Note
That There Are Two Places Where
A Person Is Straddling
Two Numbers For Sure
BUT
You Will Also Notice
That
As You Start
So Do You End
In Singular Position
With No Hope
For Straddling
Even If Is You
Who
The Board Drew!

Straddling May Give Time For Rest!
Straddling May Give Time To Reflect!
Straddling Does Not Make
A Way Of Life
For
For
OR
Against
One Must A Firm 
And Upright Position
Realize!

So In Faith!
So In Belief!
Man Cannot Have Faith In Jesus Christ
AND
Expect
AND
Believe 
A Dying Mortal Man Like Himself Can
Our Life's Stresses Relieve!

Take A Good Look 
At The Fence To Be Straddled
AND
Look At Your Position 
Relative To Same
AND
Think Hard About The Position
In Which You Will Fall
When The Earthquake In Your Life
Causes You
- With Malice -
Aggressively To Fall!

If God Is God
Serve The Loving Lord Jesus Christ!
If The Devil Is God
Serve Satan Of Demonic Device
For
You Can't Wholeheartedly Embrace The Holy One
AND
Wholeheartedly Embrace The Evil One, Too
AND
Then Run Happily 
Contentedly
With All Two
For The King James Says:

Decisions Must Be Made!
BUT
Coined Heads Or Tails Cannot Be Played!
Being Wise Unto Salvation
With Mortal Head In Jesus Christ's Firm Faith 
Held High 
Above Firmly Set Shoulders
PLUS
Abiding
Obedient Love 
For Him Who Is In Everlasting Command
Is The Only Way To Reach Zion
To Forever Reside With
The Glorious Son Of Man!

Our Faith
Must Join Our Belief
AND
Educated Consumers We Must Be
OR ELSE
In The Great Shaking
- No Faking -
A-quaking
We Will Be!

So, Remember ...

Like A Game Of Hopscotch
Every Human Life Has An End
So
Be Sure Of Your Position
AND
With Wise Ways
Make Firm Provision
For Where You Will
Eternity 
Spend!

God Made!

God Gave!

God Gives!

God Forgives!

and

God Receives!

So Don't Be A Laodicean!

Go Humbly To God 

... And Truly Live!
