Almighty God's Glory!

Almighty God's Goodness
Almighty God's Glory
AND
Almighty God's Character
Are One And The Same
AND
We Who Are Christ's Followers
Should Never The Worthy Name Profane!

Almighty God's Name Is Glorious!
Almighty God's Character Is Good!
Almighty God's Goodness Is Eternal

AND
It Cannot Be Withstood
AND
All Who Shall Behold Him
With Uncovered Eyes
Will Have Acquired His Image 

Renewed
Before
Jesus Christ Breaches
The Eastern Skies!

Brethren, BelovedYou Who Love

Honor Worship

Obey

Work With
AND
Praise The Holy God
Let Not The Damned Deceiver
Encourage You To Believe
That Giving Glory To The Living God
Is Actually A Fraud!

Man Is A Flower
Attached To The Grass
AND
When The Sun ... In Force
Shines Upon It
It Does Not Long Last
BUT
The Man Who Takes Jesus Christ

The Son Of God

For The Shepherd
The Shielding Hand Over The Cleft In The Rock
The Strong Tower Of Shelter
Shall Not Perish Like As Those
In The Wild Goat Flock
Who Deny The Sovereignty Of The Savior
The Power Of The God Of Peace
The Wisdom Of The God Of The Ages
The Host Of The Bride Groom's Wedding Feast!

Ask Of The All-Knowing Lord ... Wisdom
Accept From The Blessing Lord ... Grace
Take From The Sustaining Lord ... The Share Of Daily Faith

AND

Strive For The Mastery

That Victory Over Sin
AND

You Shall Never Be

No Way

No How
A Cast Out Damned For Eternity Disgrace!

All That Is For Our Good

IS

For Almighty God's Glory!

CREATED BEINGS: If Greedy Waits ...!

Satan Is The Liar!
His Hands Are Never Clean!
His Intentions To Man Are Cruelly Vile
AND
His Prized Methods Are Truly Obscene!

Do Not The Part Of a Satan Act
Challenging God For Supremacy
For
You Are A Created Being, My Friend
AND
Without The Creator God Holding Your Dusty Hand
Your Beginning
IS
Your End!

Nothing In This Life
Is As It Appears
So

Do Not Name Your Eyes
Your Traffic Director!
Be Pleased To Take The Living God
As Your Sole Portion
AND
You Will Not Have The Lake Of Fire
For Your Blue Sea
Nor Your Vast Ocean!

If Greedy Waits

Hot Will Cool! 

If Lust Is Cooled

Common Sense Will Rule! 

The Lord Christ Is King
AND
The Giver Of All Good Things
So

Be Pleased To Honor Him
AND
You Will With The Hosts Of Heaven
Before His Throne Of Glory
Glorified
Immortalized

Joyously

Joyfully

Thankfully
Eternally
Sing!

We Have Options!

Bend ... Freely

OR

Break Forcibly!

Either Position Taken

Mankind Will Give God

His Glory!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Thou God Seest Me!?! + Prayer

I Face A Great Dilemma
For It Is Known
AND
I Truly Believe That:

"Thou God Seest Me!"

The God Of All Graces
The Eternal King Upon His Throne
Is Ever Beside Me -
I Do Not Walk This Life Alone!

Amazing As It May Seem
I Have Walked Through Life
Knowing This
BUT
- Surprisingly -
Truly Oblivious
Of What This Theme
This Truth Means
For
Had I Been Truly Cognizant
Of What This Word Means
I Would Never Have Wittingly Considered
Spoken
Or Done
Anything Called
Wrong
AND
Unclean!

Be Ye Holy
For Your Father Is Holy!
Your Father Is God
AND
A Consuming Fire!
You Do Not Want To Face His Ire!

Your Father God Is The Accountant -
He Keeps Error-Free Books!
Everything You Do Is Recorded -
One Day You Must Give Account
For Your Father Balances His Books!

When You Make A Mistake
Go To The Father
- Right Away -
In Prayer
Using The Name Of The Only Savior
Repenting And Confessing
For
Into The Sea Of His Forgetfulness
He'll Cast Your Confessed Sin Away!

Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding -
Approach Your Heavenly Father
In Godly, Reverential, Prayer!
Commit Your Way To Your Father
AND
That Tempting Devil
From You
Will Flee Away!

Ask The Father To Teach You His Ways
AND
To Help You To Walk In Them!
Ask The Dear Lord To Order Your Steps
AND
To Help You To Shun Evil Companions
AND
Bad Language To Disdain
For
You Do Not Want To Hold A Part
In Their Shameful Acclaim!

Let Us Ask Our Father To Hide His Truth

In Our Inward Parts
AND
Let Us Plead With Him
To Help Us
The Ways Of The World To Depart!

Let Us Ask Our Father
To Lead Us Along Life's Way
To Guard Us
To Guide Us
To Lead Us
AND
To Feed Us
AND
To Help Us Not To Indulge
In Presumptuous-Sin
AND
To Walk In The Path Own-Way!

PRAYER:

Father,

You Are Truth

Light Life

Health Cure

Faith Love

The Open Door!

Teach Us

And

Correct Us, Lord

Ever Always With Your Love

So That Our Lives May Stand The Inspection

On Earth Called White Glove

But

In The Realm Of Your Majesty

The Judgment

So That We May

By The Appointment

Receive

Christ's White Robe Of Righteousness

As The Realm Of Flesh

With Finality

We

- No Looking Back -

Leave!

Help Us, Lord

To Live Right

In The Knowledge

Of Your Active Presence

So That All That We Do And Say

Will Be Flavored With Salt

So That Banality

Bitterness

Hatred

Indifference

Strife

Self-Abuse

Wickedness

And

All Abominable Practices

May Be Cast Away!

Help Us To Speak Your Truth

In Righteousness

Keeping Ever Before Us

That

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath!

Thank You, Lord

For All Your Blessings

Even As We Take Hold

Of Your Offerings Of

Salvation, Grace And Faith!

Lead Us, Kindly Light

For

In The Beloved

And

Blessed Name Of The Holy Jesus

With Hearts Broken And Contrite

We Plead!

AMEN!

Heaven Is Not Folk-Lore!

IF
Man Considered
The Almighty
Seeing All
Knowing All
Being In All
Always Present God
To Be God
Meaning
He Made Us
AND
He Sustains Us
AND
He Can Take Us Out
According To His Own Will
We Would Watch Where We Walk
What It Is That We Talk
Where It Is That We Go
AND
The Things That Through Our Minds Go
AND
We Would Think Carefully
How We Handle Our Fellow Man
AND
Seek To Valiantly Ignore
The Pit-Digging Grand Stand!

Furthermore ...

The Phrase
"The Common Good!"
Would Not Be Of Specious Intent
AND
Our Increase Would Not Be Spent
On Buying Sand In The Desert
Or Ice In The Artic
For We Will Have Withstood
That Wicked Devil's Antics!

We Would
- As A Norm -
Lift Up The Fallen
Heal The Sick
Help The Poor
Clothe The Naked
Fill The Empty Belly
Visit The Shut In
AND
The Locked Away
Ever Ministering Salvation
To Those Who Do Not The Name Of 
The Giving God Know
AND
Will Always Be Ever Ready
To Give The Reason For 
Our Obvious Hope
AND
Inviting The Hopeless
To Become Hopeful
In The Great And Glorious God
For We Do Not Kiss The Fraud!

It Is Amazing
When We Think On The Almighty God
In The Right Light
What Real Illumination Follows
As With The Revelation
We Walk Wholly With
The Holy God!

Let Us Turn Away
From Our Known Idols!
Let Us Dethrone The Fallen Men
Living High
Lifted Up
Carried
Venerated
As On The Earth
For-Real-But-Bathroom-Visiting Gods
AND
Return The Only Living God
The Creator
The Sustainer
The Provider
Our Only Help
The Feeder
The Sealer
The Judge
The Jury
The Executioner
Our True King
Our Salvation
Our Only Hope
Our Everything
To His Throne
In Our Eyes
Our Hearts
Our Heads
So That We
- Clean -
On That Great Day
By His Own Hand
At His Own Table
In His Own House
In His Own Kingdom
May Be Fed
AND
Not To Final Damnation
Be Ignominiously Led!

The Almighty God
Is For Us
So
No Matter Who
Or
What 
Is Against Us
Let Us Live
In The Light
AND
The Knowledge
That
The Living God Does Indeed Us See
AND
Choose
To Let Him
In Our Lives
Ever Present
Ever Active
Ever Leading
Ever Chiding
Ever Deciding
Will-To-God
Be
For I (Don't You?)
Want To
My Jesus
In Peace And Joy
See!

I Am Changing My Attitude!

Will You?

Don't Blink ... THINK! - Church Service

Have You Ever Been In A "Church" Service
Or
Viewed One
That Made Your Skin Crawl
Or
Made You Feel
- For Lack Of More Fitting Descriptives -
Contaminated
Unclean
Dirty?!

In Said Service
Did You Think To Ask Yourself:

Soul, Who Are They Worshipping?!

Did You Hear Things Said
AND
Wondered:

Why Is No One Objecting?!

AND

Did You Hear
AND
Observe
The Monotonous
Frenzied Repetition
Of Words Phrases
That Sent People Into Raptures
Uncaring
Unknowing
Unmindful
Of What It Is That They Are Doing?!

What Reason
- If Any -
Are You Aware Of
That Requires A Christian Called
To Repeat The Name

"Emmanuel!"

Or Even

"Jesus!"

For Ten (10) Solid Minutes?!

Is Not This Vain Repetition?
Is There A Purpose That Is Being Served?
Is Someone Being Instructed?
Is The Name Being Uttered With Understanding
AND
With Ever New Emotion?
Or
- As Is The Norm With The Heathen -
Is The Utterance A Decided Means
To Achieve A Particular 
AND
Perhaps Even
A Malicious
Nigh Unto
A Malevolent End?

Please Ask Yourself ...

What Is That Unclean Spirit
That Is Being Openly Invited In
AND
Welcomed Into
The Church Of God
AND
Why Is No One Objecting?

God Himself
Calls Us To Reason With Him
Our Maker
Sustainer
Provider
Healer Helper
Our Salvation
Our King
AND
Where Necessary
Our Judge!

So ... 

Why Are We
Intelligent Creatures
Permitting
Unregenerate
Priests Pastors Teachers
To Give The Keys 
To The Hearts Of The People Of God
Into The Hands Of That Vile One
Satan?

Satan Is A Church Goer
Willing
Bona Fide!
He Has No Need To Go 
To Dancing Hells
When Who He Wants
Is Wearing Church Clothes
AND
Styling
Stepping High!

Lazy Thinking In A Christian
Is An Attribute To Be Despised
For It Permits
Unfettered Wickedness
To Bloom
Grow
AND
God Forbid
Thrive!

Know What It Is You Are Doing
AND
Why
- In God's Name -
It Is Being Done
AND
If The Answer
Contains Not A 

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

People!
Be Smart!
Cut And Run!
Don't - To Your Self - Lie!

No Idiot Children Will Be In Heaven!
All There Will Have Said:

Satan, Nay!

Jesus, Yeah!

Having Made The Bold Decision Freely
AND
Not By Coerced Descent
Into A Hypnotized Frenzy!

Watch Where You Pray!
Watch With Whom You Play?!
AND
Be Mindful Of What You Say
When You Go
To God In Prayer!

You Cannot Come To God
AND
Tell Him That
You Want
Desire
To Bear His Blessed Name
AND
Stress To Him That
You Will Provide
Your Own Food
(Your Own "Holy" Word)
AND
Your Own Clothing
(Your Own Character)
AND
Think
That You Shall Escape
The Lake Of Fire!

The Way Is Clear
Either - Or
Broad Way
Or
Straight Way Narrow Path!
There Is No Good Way Marked:

"Way Of Man!"

Aka Way Of Perishable Cloth
For That Way Is Always
Always
The Broad Way Of The Lost!

Get A Grip On The Holy God
Through Jesus The Christ
On
The Way Of The Cross
AND
Give Man's Traditional Emotionalism
The "Not-For-Me" Toss!

Worship The Almighty God

In Spirit

And

In Truth!

When God Is Displeased!

Almighty God
Gave His Law Unto Man
Saying:

This Is My Law

Keep It In Thy Right Hand!

BUT ...

Man Was Presumptuous
Walking In His Own Way
Saying:

God Does Not See Me
I Will Run All About
And Every Which Way
I Shall Play!

God Was Displeased ...

First Came The Warnings:

You Are Not Walking In The Right Way!

Man Simply Ignored The Warnings
AND
Continued His Bad Play!

Second Came The Counsels:

You Are A Wayward Child

So I Shall Again Teach You My Ways!

Walk Faithfully In Them

And Don't Forget To Pray!

But ... Man 

Was Presumptuous
AND
Continued Walking 
In His Own Self-appointed Way!

God Was Displeased ...

And Next Came The Reproofs:

My Children, I Love You

And

You Need To Understand The Truth

That

Disobedience Has Consequences

And

I Will Not Permit You

To Run Around Unchecked

Wild And Loose!

Look To Yourselves
And Seek After Your Creator
And Change Your Ways

For 

The Time Is Soon Coming

When I Will No Longer You Reprove!

BUT ...

Stiff-necked
AND
Defiant
AND
Seeking Always To Satisfy Self
Man Became Hard-hearted
AND
Placed The Living God
On The Old Curiosity Shelf

AND ... God

In Compassion
In Love
AND
Blessed Fatherhood
Having Sent Forth Many
"Change Your Ways" Messages
In The Habit Of A Strict Disciplinarian
Stood Up

IN MERCY 

And Poured Out Real Judgments
Guaranteed To Bring The Hardest Heart
To Its Knees
Such That The Recalcitrants
Vocalized Their Great Hurts
Lamenting:

Father, This Pain Truly Hurts!

It Is More Than We Can Bear!

Forgive Us Our Trespasses!

Keep Us In Your Safe Church!

We Indulged In The Sin Of Presumption!

We Walked In Idolatrous Ways!

We Became God

And Left You As The Servant

And Our Lot Has Us Sitting

Quite Dazed!

Have Pity!

Forgive Us!

Bring Us Back Into The Fold!

We Are Your Willing Servants

And

Walking In Your Way

Is Now And Forever Our Goal!

AND ... GOD 

Forgave Them!

I Am Sure That You Know The Story!
Repentance Didn't Long Last
For
When You Mold God
Into Your Own Image
Judgment's Die
Is Known Cast!

God Forgives!
He Will Hear Us!
Call On Him 
AND
Get Your Personal Answer
Now!
Today!

So ...

Go On
AND
Give The Old Devil
The Heave Ho
AND
Watch God Bless You
As On His Business
You Diligently Go!

The Pleasing Of One's Self

Denies Us The Ability

To Please

The Holy God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The New Beginning!

I was In Distress and
I was a Royal Mess
So ... I Called On The Savior
And I Simply Confessed
To Walking In My Own Way
Ignoring The Signs
On The Path Of Destruction
On The Road Marked:

"My Life Is Mine!"


BUT ... Before THAT Moment

IT WAS LIKE THIS:

I Asked Myself ...


Why Should I Listen
To HIM
Whom My Eye Cannot See
When All Those Around Me
Were Happy and Hale
And Vainly Hearty!

The Voice Calling My Name
Wanted Me To Turn Around
To Walk On The Road Called "Denial!"
Where There Was No Bacchanal nor
Funny Fun Song Sounds!

I Liked Fun
And Funny
And Party
And Dance
And ... In A Pinch
I Wouldn't Have Minded A Little Trance
BUT ... NO!

He Said:

No!
You Must Not!
Know That's Not The Way
To The Land Of Redemption
Go Narrow!
Get Off The Broad Way!

I Hesitated ...

And He Said:


Narrow Is Rocky
Hilly
Tough and A Pain
BUT
Survive To The End
AND
There You Will Find Great Gain
BUT
If You Stay On Broad Way
Where All Is Bright Smooth
You'd Better Believe Me
Your Life You Will Lose
FOR
Broadway Has No Character
Upon Which To Build Good
For Broad Way Is Where
There Is No Saving Blood!
You Won't Your Spirit-Building Character
Exercise Or Good Feed
For Broad Way Is A Devil Horse
Noted For Deft Speed
To Perdition!

Yes!
Hellbent!
Twisted Out Of Good Shape
Re-Formed By The Master
Of Deception
The Great Devil
Old Satan The Liar
The Lease-Master Himself
Who Writes His Own Contracts
Always Only Benefiting Himself!

No Good Something For Something Else Good!
No Mutual Benefit!
No Assured Dividends!
Those Contracts from Satan
Have Only One Clear Marked Ending:

Death To The Promisor!
Death To The Promisee, Too!
Death To All Intended and Incidental Beneficiaries!

"Is That What You Really Want 
To Do and Be A Party To!?!"

I Still Hesitated
So ... He Gently Urged Me:

Walk With Me, My Dear Child!
Walk With Me In Truth!
Walk With Me - I AM Faithful!
Walk With Me for I AM Truth
Personified
Particular
Positive
Plain
Beginning and Ending
And Your Living In Me
Won't Ever Be In Vain!

Trust Me As Master!
Trust Me As Lord!
Trust Me To Carry You
Home To The Great Reward
Where All Who Are Faithful
To Me The Blessed Friend
Will Share All My Provisions
For All Eternity
With No End!

My Heart Leaped  
And It Was Then That I heard Him Say ...

Come Unto To Me

For 

I AM 

Your Savior

Protector

Provider

Redeemer

Loving Master

Gentle Shepherd

Almighty God

AND

Holy Lord!

AND ... That 
Is When I Arrived At ... The Beginning!
