PRAYER: Father, I'm Frightened ...

Father,

I Am Frightened!

Not Frightened

My Nose Around The Window To Put

But Frightened About Losing Out On Heaven

Because 

The Truth Of Your Kingdom 

I'm Afraid To Talk About!

Father,

I Do Not Wish To Be Responsible

For Another Soul's Salvation

Because I Am Afraid To Offend Them

For

Father,

Telling A Soul The Truth Of Christ The King's Coming

Is Like Saying

Out Loud

That You Hate Them!

Your Truth, Father

Is Now - Indeed - Hate Speech!

Good Is Become Evil!

We Can't Give A Person A Good Word

Without Running Afoul Of Some Law

And Calling Sin "SIN!"

Is Particularly Egregious

For People Then Treat You Like You're A Thieving Jackdaw!

To Show A Person The Right Way

Is The Wrong Way!

To Point Out The Wrong

Is Politically 

And

Spiritually

Incorrect Dynamite

For

Even The Church Leaders

Are Getting In On The Racket

For Fear Of Losing

Their 501c3 Honey Pot

Of Big Ticket Bonbons!

Father, The Church Itself 

Is Clasping Hands With The Very Devil

Equating Eating Shellfish And

Wearing Mixed Fibers

With The Abomination Of Sodomy 

So Stated In Your Laws!

Lord,

Doing Right

Now Bites!

Doing Wrong Is A Hit Song

And

Serving The One God

Is Like Playing A 45 Or A 78

When Flash Drives And SD Card Storage 

Are All The Rage!

Help Me, Dear Father

To Do Right

To Speak Truth

To Continue In The Faith

Walking Valiantly

Following After You!

Help Me Not To Shrink

From The Task

Of Sharing Jesus Christ's Faith

Come Rain Or Arctic Blast!

Help Me To Be True 

To The Gospel Truth

Steady

Until The Last Day

Of My Existence

Is Past!

Help Me, Lord

To Hold On To Jesus Christ

For I Know That He Is Coming Soon!

Help Me, Lord

To Remain Faithful

Even If I Fall

Into The Hands Of

Satan's Bully Boys And Goons!

I Love You, Lord!

You Are My Hope!

Please Hasten The Glorious Day!

AMEN

THE RELIGION OF THE STATE: Commit Your Soul Unto God

There is A Day Soon Coming
When There Will Be The Religion of The State
When Acceptance or Denial of Such
Will Determine Our Eternal Fate!

The State Religion Will Be Such
That Other Gods Will Have Preeminence
AND
The Living Holy God
Will Be The Legislated Irrelevance!

Our Conscience Will Be Put Up For Sale
For Barter
Even Exchange
For We Will Be Required To Make The Choice
That Will Make Godly Living
To The Satan In-dwelt Man-God
A Truly Vile Act
HIDEOUSLY PROFANE!

It Is In That Day That Believers
In The True And Living Holy God
Must Stand Up And Be Counted
OR
Be Counted As One With King Fraud!

Just Remember That The God Of Heaven
Has Made Provision For His Children
So While Salvation Is Available 
TODAY
Accept It 
NOW
So That You Will Not Hear:

"He That Is Unjust
Let Him Be Unjust Still
AND
He That Is Filthy
Let Him Be Filthy Still!"
(Revelation 22:11 In Pertinent Part)

REMEMBER THE TRAINER'S JOKE:

The Chicken Participated

BUT

The Pig Committed!

With The True And Living Holy God
Total Trust and Complete Commitment IS Key!

A Little Bit Committed To God Is Like Being A Little Bit Dead!

It Is An Impossibility!

Judgment Will Begin At The House Of God

So ...

Be Sure 
TODAY
To Confess Your Sins 
AND
Repent!

Repent Of Your Evil Ways
AND
Your Wayward Acts
AND
Permit God To Remake You
And Give You The King's Righteous Garments
And Proceed To Walk
And Continue Walking ...
Faithfully!

AND ... 

Please, Please, PLEASE
 Do Not Permit Yourself 
To Fall Into Satan's Trap Of
"Once Saved Always Saved! "

God's Word Specifically Says:

The Definition Of Endurance Involves:

Effort,  Pain,  Suffering
Faith, Faithfulness
Belief, Focus
Trust In The Training Received From The Trainer,  and 
Doing and Completing The Job 
Despite The Challenges
Real or Imagined!

Trust God's Word!
Live For Jesus Christ!
Be Comforted In His Care!
Let The Holy Spirit Lead!
Receive The Protection Of The Holy Angels!
Be Faithful Unto Mortal Death!
AND
When Jesus Christ The King Shall From His Glorious Home Descend
Be Raised 
Immortal 
Unto Eternal Glory!

Choose The God Of This World

AND

Lose Eternity

OR

Choose The Eternal God 

AND 

Save Your Own Soul

AND

Gain Eternity!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Grant Us Strength, Lord!

Oh, Father,

We Come Before You

As Supplicants and Penitents

Thankful For Grace

and

Pleading For Mercy!

Have Mercy, Lord

On The Helpless

The Hopeless

The Careless

And

The Lawless!

Have Mercy, Lord,

On The Wild

The Defiled

The Beguiled

And

The Spoiled!

Have Mercy,  Lord

On The Wretched

The Frowned Upon

The Soul With No Place To Belong

And

The Heart Which Has Lost Its Peace and Its Song!

Have Mercy,  Lord,

On The Fool Who Says

There Is No God!

On The Faithful

Whose God Is The Lord!

On The Wicked

Who Daily Sow Discord

And

On The Soul Seeking

To Be Shuck Of The Old Fraud!

Have Mercy,  Lord

On The Wired

On The Tired

On The Soul From Work Just Fired

And

On The Soul Whose Feet Are In Sin Mired!

Grant Us, Lord

Who Daily Seek Your Face

Courage For The Journey

And

Strength For The Race

And

Grant Us The Strength Of Will

To Walk Ever In Your Way

So That At The Last Day

We Won't Be Cast Out In Eternal Disgrace!

Bless Us, Father!

Do For Us What Is Best For Us

In Your Eternal Sight

And

No Matter Our Distress At Our Mortal Outcome

Help Us To Stand Firm

In Jesus Christ's Faith

So That We Will Attain Heaven's Promised Rest!

Bless Us, Lord, As Only You - Our Holy God - Can!

Oh,  How Your People Love You

Trust You

And

Reverence You, Lord!

AMEN.

Onion Heart!

The Thoughts of The Heart of Man Are Evil Continually!

The Tongue Can't Be Tamed!

Jesus Saves!

The Old Man Must Die!

Confess and Repent 

OR

We Will Never Fly!

I Met Me The Onion!
His Name is Man's Heart
He Had Quite an Aroma
And He Could Make Dry Eyes Tearful Spark!

The Onion had a Red Orange Brown Shiny Thick Thin Skin
That One had To Cut Peel Off
Before One Could Taste What Was Within!

Strange, Though, Is The Onion!
He Has Complex Parts and
To Remove The World From That Onion
One Has To Quite Tear Him Apart!

The Onion Had a Butt Root
Hard to Remove - it Has Spider Vein Root Arms
That as Long As It Is Attached
Gives Onion A Growing Hand
And as Long as THAT is Attached
Onion Head has a Potential Nose for Atmospheric Rain
Which, In The Right Conditions
And Proximity to Acquaintances,  Family and  Friends
Will Cause The Onion to Stay Firm,  Grow, or Rot
But ... It All Depends
On Storage,  and Preservation Possibilities
And Even Decisions Made for Use!

Bottom Line is to Make Good Use of The Onion
Butt Root and Nose Must with Sharp Knife be Removed!

The Onion Hates That!

With Anchor and Sail Gone
The Paper Wax Seal Skin can
In Layers 
Be Removed In Complex Operation
Requiring Light Deft Hands and 
A Willingness to 
Let The Onion Show It's True Hand!

Of Note,  though, Is That On The Onion
Between Skin of World Protection and 
Vulnerable Flesh 
To Pickle
To Cut Up
Eat Raw
Salty or Sweet
Is a Very Thin Membrane
That The One Working Must Valiantly Breach
Else The Onion Has The Memory Texture of The Slime Pit!
Remember!
A Brain Has Feet!

Now, With The Arrival At The Good Part
Suitable For Use
The Spirit As The Knife-Cook
With Permission
Will Make The Right Cut
Knowing Quite Well
That The Onion Will Unalterably Change
Even As It Causes Its Purchaser 
Handler Preserver's Eyes to Burn and Tears Rain!

But ... Through Perseverance
Through The Need To Lift The Onion to Heights High
The Knife of The Spirit Cuts
AND 
The Onion Dies to The Cook's Passion Satisfy:

Slice!
Dice!
Rough Cut!
Rings!
Spiral!
Flower!
Mince!
Grate!
Blend!
Juice!
Pickle!
Sweet!

Size Does Not Matter -
Just Suitability for The Cause!
The Onion In The Service
Makes Music For The Lord
BUT
Let's Not Forget
That The Onion
In The Careless Hand
Causes The Whole House to Stink ... A Lot!

So, All of The Heart Onions
Who Have The Innate Ability To Choose
Choose Wisely and Quickly
To Be Made of Good Use!

Don't Worry About Where You Are Going 
When in The Hands of The One Vigilant
Trust to Him Wholly
AND
Stay Away from That Wasteful Scamp!

Be Willing 
To Be Used Of
By
For Him
Who Fits The Onion
To
For
His Purpose
For He Knows The Make Up
Of Every Onion
It's Root
The Stock Stored and
Where It Will Branch!

A Heart

- Like An Onion -

Only

Serves A Good Purpose

IF

It Is Put To

 Right and Proper Use!

PRAYER: Help Me To Do Thy Will!

 Dear Lord,

Please Cause to Rise Up In Me

The Spirit of Revulsion!

Revulsion

For The Unclean

The Unholy

The Putrid

The Profane

The Petty

The Vain

and

The Vexatious!

Help Me Look Only To You

From Whom My Help Comes!

Help Me Be Contented With My Lot

Constant In My Faith

Caring For The Downtrodden

and

Ever Calm in The Face of Bitter Adversity!

Help Me To Be

Benevolent As The Holy Spirit Calls

and a

Blessing - Just Because

Set-apart For Your Service

Savoring The Sanctified

Denying The Salacious

Lifting Up The Fallen

Lowering Self's Flag

And 

Honoring The Holy!

Grant Me Grace To Stand

Even When I Can't

And 

The Knowledge To Know

That The Light "No!" Answer 

from 

Jesus Christ 

Is Not To Be Equated With 

The Heavy "Yes!" Answer from Fallen Man!

Help Me To Do Thy Will When I Would Sooner

Do As Burdensome-Self Wills!

May Your Mercy Perfume My Path

Whilst Life Lasts, and On To Glory!

Lord, I am Your Child

AND

I am Looking To Receive My Inheritance

In The Fullness Of Your Time -

Keep Me Faithful!

I Honor You, Lord, and I Love You!

Help Me To Forever Praise and Worship You

For You Are My God!

AMEN!
