In Jesus Christ's Name

AMEN.

Stand Upon The Rock!

I Draw My Life From My Jesus!
In Him
I Can Neither Wither
Nor Fruitless Be!
I Stand Upon The Rock Of Ages
AND
From Him
Flows Living Water Freely!

The Water From The Rock
Gives Life Unto Me!
My Foundation Built On The Rock
Gives My Life
Glorious Stability!
The Rock Is Reliable!
It Makes My Heart To God Pliable
AND
Makes My Hope For Heaven
In Jesus' Holy Name
So Much More
Than Merely Viable!

The People Of God
Must Understand
AND
Believe
That The Closer We Get To The Promised Land
The More Satan Will Us Try To Deceive!
Satan Is Well Able
To Tell The Time
In The Business Of Sin's Shut-Down Clock
Which Tells Him Of A Surety:

Bud, Your Time Is Just About Run Out!

Satan Is Desperate!
Satan Has Nothing To Lose!
Satan Is Fighting His "Good" Fight Of Self-Faith
AND
He Is Desperate To Destroy Anything
That In Jesus Christ's Love Is Bathed!

Self-Worship
- Iced With Pride -
Has Made The Vile Sinner
Rabid
Willing That Jesus' Saints
Be To Him Witheringly Denied
AND
If There Is Just One
That He Can Overcome
By His Dread Pursuit
There Is No Risk To His Own Final Outcome
For
Peace To Him Is Already Eternally Lost
AND
He Is Forever
By God
Rejected
Refused!

In Jesus
We Can't To Satan Lose!
With Satan
We Can't Anything From Jesus Win!
So ...
Since The Channels Are Clearly Marked
AND
No Human Will Be Able To Say:

I Was Regarding Sin In The Dark!

So We Had Better Know
Behind Whom We Are Holding Position
For
Without Jesus Christ
There Is No Hope
For A Blessed Eternal Position!

Let Not Satan
Poison Your Hope Tree!
Accept True Freedom In Jesus
AND
From The Gross Liar Flee!

Believe Not Satan's
Pretty-Tied Lies!
Give Your Back To That Dragon
AND
With Jesus Run
The Winners Race
AND
At The Appointed Time
When The Last Trumpet Will Sound
Walk Into Eternity
Singing Joyful Songs
Knowing That
Amazing Grace With Ever Be
The Heart's Favorite Song!

The Rock Is My Salvation!

HAPPY SABBATH: I Believe God!

I Believe The Word Of God!

I Believe I Will Fly

For My Father Said

We Shall Be As Angels

And Angels Have Wings!

I Believe I Shall No More Cry

For My Father Said That

Sorrow And Death Shall Pass Away!

I Believe That I Shall Be In Eternity Enthralled

For My Father Said That

Eye Hath Not Seen

Nor Ear Heard

The Things He Hath Prepared For Me

Because I Give Him My Love!

I Believe I Shall Live Forever

For My Father Said I Shall Live With  Him Where He Is -

There Is No Terminus In Eternity!

I Believe I Shall Be Immortal

For My Father Says That I Shall Be Like Him

And He Cannot Die!

I Believe God!

My God Is My Father!

My Father God Is Not A Man

That He Should To Me Lie!

I Place My Trust In Him
And ... By Faith

I Shall Gain The Blessed Reward

When He Comes For Me

When He Breaks The Eastern Sky!

My Belief Is Rooted

In The Rock Of Truth!

My Faith Is Planted In Him

By Whose Blood

I Shall Gain Eternal Youth!

My Rock Is Jesus!

He Is The Christ
AND

He Is My Hope
My Help And My Healer

My Author
My Finisher

My Light

My Truth
AND

My Life!

I Believe God!

The Call Of The Shepherd - The Rock of Ages

I wanted to be Really Rich
Until I saw the Decay
That was present, and oh, so rampant
Amongst those with whom Wild Riches held Sway

I wanted to be Really Famous
Until I saw the Decay
That was present and oh, so rampant
Amongst those with whom Notoriety held Sway

I really wanted to be Powerful
Until I saw the decay
That was present, and oh, so rampant
Amongst those with whom Earthy Corrupting Power held Sway

I wanted to be Seen
To be Heard
To be Welcomed ... Understood
Until I saw what the Herding Mentality
Did to those Bathing in its Murky Water of Dragon Blood

I came upon a Plain Altar
Made of Undressed Stones and Plain Rocks
Tended by a Gentle Shepherd
Face marred, hands and feet sullied - I stood in shock
He looked at me - His smile ... I saw Glory
He talked with me - His voice ... Slow Water
Flood Raging Checked Welcoming Pure Gold
And I heard The Call of The Ages
Saying: 

"Come To Me! 

Let Me Wash You! 

I Shed My Living, Eternal, 

Saving, Blood for You!"

To say I was shocked ... Understatement!
To say I was horrified ... Let me get away from here!
To say I was sad, happy, afraid, moved, running away ... I walked to Him!
He help out His Arms ... I fitted in The Cleft
I knew no alarm!

Home. 
I felt At Home. 
I felt Comforted.
Redeemed. 
Forgiven. 
Truly Blessed.
Happy. 
So Joyous. 
Triumphant.
My Jesus ... The Shepherd ... of  Eternal Rest!

I no longer felt I wanted The World's Goods
Its Applause
Affirmation
Its Stress
I needed to be with My Jesus
At Home ... with The Eternal ... The King of The Blessed.

I gave The Wants the old "Heave Ho!"
I gave Pressure To Succeed The Seven G's!
Good Gracious! God Is Mine!
Go Graze Green Grass!
And showed The Wicked World
The Front of my Behind!

I need to Live with My Jesus
I need to Worship My God
I need a Gold Crown to Wear in Glory
Where I'll spend enjoy Eternity 
Eternity with My Lord as My Eternal Reward!

I AM THE SALT OF THE EARTH!

I WILL NOT BE TURNED INTO SALT!

I WILL NOT LOOK BACK AT THE WORLD

FOR

#MYHEADISTOWARDHEAVEN

SOON BREAKING THROUGH 

THE CASCADING CLOUDS!
