Preaching The Mnemonic Jesus

The Servant Of God
Stood Up For To Preach
AND
In The Time Allotted
He Did Quite Scholarly Teach!
He Was Greatly Commended
AND
Feeling Quite Pleased With Himself
To The Congregation Did Say:

I Hope You Have Been Blessed
For
For That Teaching
My Mental Faculties
Were Greatly Stressed!

A Buzzing Was Heard
An Anxious Moving As Of A Restless Herd
BUT
It Was God's Flock Of Faithful People
Being Seriously Disturbed
As Proved By A Quietly Loud Voice
Filled With Hurt And Still Command
Who Pointedly Asked The Intellectual Preacher:

Do YOU Know The Feel Of The Lord's Hand?

Sir,
This Is Not A Science Project
Nor Other Intellectual Pursuit!
These Are Life And Death Matters
Which Need No Poseur
In A Brooks Brothers Suit!

You Preach An Intellectual Jesus!
You Teach A Physical Lord
AND
Therewith My Brother
You And The Bible Are
Not In Accord!

Pray Tell Us ...

Do YOU Personally Know Jesus?
How Has Jesus Changed You In Your Life?
Is Jesus Christ Your Savior
Or
Is He Just A Teaching Preaching Device!?

Your Teaching 
Was Intellectually Stimulating
BUT
I Could Not Feel Your Heart
For
In My Heartfelt Opinion
Of God's Grace
You're Just Shooting In The Dark!

I Beseech You!
I Am Pleading!
Show Us What The Lord Has Done For You!
Get Real With Your Teaching
AND
Tell Us 
By Your Witness
How Jesus Christ Has Personally Saved You!

If You Are A Workman
In The Lord's Vineyard
Your Credentials Should Be Experience Based
BUT
Your Talking About A Theoretical Jesus
Gives No One Of Jesus
A Sweet-Food Taste
Which
- Upon The Tasting -
Should Encourage One
A Full Meal To Purchase By Prayer!

The Food That You Served
Which We Did Today Taste
Is For The Party Goers Palate
AND
Not For One Seeking To Avoid
An Unrepentant Sinner's Fate!

I Came Here From The Desert!
I Desire The Water Of Life!
I Expect The Bread Of Heaven
Not Jesus The Mnemonic Device!

I Want Jesus!
I Need Jesus!
I Desire His Life!
So,  Please
Let's Do This Over!
Show Us How A Life Is Changed
After Experiencing
The Free Grace Of Jesus Christ!

And So ...

The Preacher Bowed His Head
AND
Prayed Aloud To The Living And Eternal Holy God:

Dear Father, 

Up In Heaven

I Thank You For The Rod!

The Rod Of Correction

That Brought Me Out Of Sin's Fog!

I Thank You For Your Blessing

Your Blessings That Fall On Me

Blessings That I Did Not Know I Needed

Until They Were Touching The Heart Of Me!

Dear Father,

I Plead For A Word Of Comfort

For These Children Of Hope!

Help Me Dearest Father

To Show Them How You Got Me Off 

The Old Devil's Dope!

Bless Me, Lord

To Bless Your People!

Help Me From Truth Not To Shy Away

Help Me To Lift Up The Holy Jesus

Who From Sin

Drew Me Away!

Help Me To Be Honest

Help Me Truth To Confess

Help Me To Help Others

Who Through Sin

Are In Mortal Distress!

I Love You

I Bless You

Help Me To Honor You Today And Always

And Help Me, Dear Father

To Forget Self

And Lift You Up

For The Rest Of My Days!

Thank You, Lord, For Your Mercy

Please Accept In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

Your Trembling Servant's Prayer!

The Congregation 
In Unison, Said:

Glory! 
             Hallelujah! 
                                    Praise God! 
                                                            AMEN!

For What Do You Pray?

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
That Keep Us From Doing  
The Unholy One's Behest!

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
That Bring Us To The Lord 
So That We May Our Sin Confess!

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
Which Cause Us To Turn Away
From Falling Into Mortal Distress
So ...
Let's Give Our Praise And Thanks
Trust And Obedience To The Living God
So That Heaven Will Continue
Our Hearts And Hands To Bless!

Our Loving Savior
Says That We Must Come To Him
To Be Fed
BUT
Before We Can Go To Him
We Must Recognize
That We Have A Need
For The Bread Of Heaven
AND
Life's Living Water Pure
AND
Believe That God Can Will Feed Us
AND
ONLY THEN
Will Our Food Be Sure
AND
Secured!

Let No Man Deceive You!
The Living God Is Not Mocked!
Let Not Self Deceive You
To Believe
That Going To God Is There To Give You
Ample Temporal Stock
For
Life Is More Than Food And Raiment
Houses And Land
Possessions And Processions
Following Fashion
AND
Always Having The Winning Game Hand!

Coming To Jesus
Will Get You
The Father
AND
The Son!
Not Coming To Jesus
Will Make You
A Sure Lost
An Also Ran!

The Heavenly Father Won't Know You!
The Eternal Gifts For You
By You Will Be Cast Away
AND
In The Great Day's Dawning
Your Wailing Teeth-Gnashing
AND
Christ-Confessing Self
Will Receive Its Justly Earned
Jesus-Awarded
Fully Compensated
No Deductions
For Nor By Mercy Sanctioned
Eternal Gross Pay!

NOW Is The Accepted Time Of Salvation!
NOW Is The Time - Don't You Delay
For The Lord Is Willing
With You To Reason
No Matter What Your Life's Season!

He Will Listen To What You Have To Say
AND
If You Have Questions
Know For A Surety
That He Will Answer All
For
He Is The Creator God
Of Everything
Great And Small
On Under
Above The Blue Ball!

Please Know
Without Fear And Failing
That Jesus Christ
Is The Answer
Whereby You Can Reclaim
ALL
That Was Lost To Us
Because Of Man's
Satan-Inspired
Ignoble Fall!

Trust In The Lord!
Call On His Name!
Believe In His Promises!
Walk In His Way!
Live In His Light!
Take From That Holy Hand The Offered Blessing!
From Cherished Sin Walk Away
AND
By Jesus Christ The Righteous
Enter
The Land Bright With Everlasting Day!

PERSONAL PUZZLER: Sustaining The Charge: "Christian!"

I am Intrigued by The Question:

"Is There Enough Evidence 

To Convict You Of The Charge Of 

Being A Christian?"

Whilst This May Presently be a Talking Point - A What If
Soon The Day Will Appear 
When This Question Will Assuredly Elicit 
The Response That Means Life or Death!

With This Burning Question Before Us, It Is Time For Some Serious Soul-Searching:

• Does The Word Of God Give You Pause When You Contemplate Doing Wrong?
• When You've Done Wrong,  How Does Your Heart Respond?
• Do You Prayer Over Meals At Home But Hide In Public?
• Does You Mien - Attitude, Look, Character - Towards People And Situations Say "Child Of God!?"
• Does Your Appearance Set You Apart From The Multitude?
• Does Your Speech Say Circumspection?
• What Is Your Response When Attacked For Being A Christian?
• Does The World See Jesus In You?
• Do You Share Your Faith?
• Do You Bless Others?
• Are You Kind And Thoughtful?
• Are You Known For Being A Praying Person?
• Would You Argue Against Jesus Christ To Save Your Mortal Life Even Though You Know That Eternal Life Awaits The Faithful?
• Would You Deny Jesus Christ To Be Able To Buy Bread Even Though Jesus Promised That Your Bread And Water Are Secure ... If You Are Faithful?
• Would You Deny Jesus Christ If It Would Keep You Employed?
• Would You Deny Jesus Christ To Have Peace In Your Home?
• Do You Believe In God Enough To Stand Firm Against Rabid Religious Opposition?
• Do You Believe God's Promises Enough To Stand Behind Them If Called To Stand In Front The Guillotine, The Firing Squad or The Crazed Mob?
• Were You Asked To Describe The God Of Your Heart,  What Would You Say?
• The "Thought Police" Are Checking For Contraband Bibles - Printed and Electronic - And Christian Books. They Are Knocking At Your Door.  Will You Hide Your Bible and Books To Avoid Detention -  No Trial?
• You Are Asked To Choose Between The Word Of The Living God and The Word Of The Government Knowing Full Well That If The Words Of The Government Are Not In Line With The Word Of God That The Word Of God Rules. The Words Of The Government Are Contrary To The Word Of God. What Would You Do If Your Life Depends On Your Answer?
• The Working Idol-God Is In Place.  All Kinds Of Music Is Being Played.  You Must Worship The Idol Or Be Killed. How Do You Stand?
• The Word Comes That Jesus Christ Is In The Desert Doing Miraculous Things. Will You Go To See Him Even Though Your Bible Says "That Jesus" IS Fake And Not To Run After Demons Performing Miracles?
• Your Highly Respected Church Leader and His Companion, The Government Leader, Says That Jesus Christ Told Them To Tell You That Worshiping At The Feet Of The Man Of Sin Is Not A Sin If It Means Saving Your Life. What Would You Do?
• Many Are The Reports From The Authorities That Say That Jesus Christ Said That It Is Okay To Do Whatever A Christian Must Do To Survive The Time Of Strife For He Knows That All Christians Really Love and Believe In Him, and That Self-Preservation Must Be Your Watch-word. What Would You Do?
• Is The Holy Word Presented In Your King James Bible Your Guide For Living A Blessed Life?
• A "Bible" Passage Is Presented To You Which Says That Jesus Christ Is God's Son But That He Is Not God; That Jesus Christ Never Came To Earth And Will Never Come To Earth; and That The Holy Spirit Is Not God But The Breath Of God Which Is Nothing And Cannot Do Anything For Men's Souls. If You Correct The Passage You Are Effectively A Dead Person. What Would You Do?
• Can You, Do You, Would You Really Trust God - The Unseen God Who Gave Mankind The Sure Word - For Your Salvation Over The God(s) Of The Earth With Their Ever-changing Ideas and Ideologies, Fads and Fashions, Promises and Pledges, Feigned Tempests and Foul Thunderings Who Cater To Your Carnal Desires?

To Be A True Christian

In The Time Of Strife

Is To Have Damocles' Sword

Swinging Over The Head

BUT

The Child Of God

Though In Peril Of Losing His Own Head

Faithfully Asserts:

"Jesus Christ Died

To Save Sinful Me

And

Nothing That This Body Suffers

Will Stop My Soul 

From Being In My God

Gloriously Safe and Eternally Free!

I Accepted God's Free Offer 

Of

Salvation

And

I Will Live Again

Because Of The Blood 

Of

The Living Lamb!"

Now Go ... To The Throne Of Grace!!

 When We Reach Home

Everywhere
On Terra Firma
There Is A Battle Raging
Every Day
Between
DAD and DOM!

The Battle Is Quite Spectacular
And
It Will Rage
Until
The Dawning Of
The Eternal Day
When
The Holy People
Will
No Longer
Need To Ever Again Say
The Lord's Prayer!

In That Day
It Will Resolutely Be Heard
That
GIG and
GIA
Is Among
The People Sweet!


LICS Is No More
And
SID ... Is Dead Indeed!


The Refrain Of That BASU Is Every Where Heard!


In The Assembly
GIRI and
GINI
Becomes Really Real!


WIS Is Past Tense!
WIT Is Current Pence!


The FOTTOL Is Experienced!
The WOL Is Sweet!


IGRA IS Finally
Fully Answered!

The Truth Of The POTHS 
Is Known and Praised!


The HOJ Are Held!

The HIMH Chorus

Psalm 1 (KJV)

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS?! - Hirelings To Fire!

Called To Ministry!?
Don't Make Me Laugh!
You're Nothing But A Wage Slave and A Wickedly Unfaithful Steward!
You Hired Yourself On To Do A Job of Work In The "Hope" That ... !

On A Mission For The Master?!
Which One?!
King Fraud OR The God of Heaven and Of Love?!

Faithful To Which Calling?!
Cash?!
Kind?!
Reach?!
Access?!
Privilege?!
Surely Not To God's Service
To WORK
In Faith
By Truth
With Agape Love
To Teach Soul-Searching, Acknowledged Sinners
That The Wages For SIN
IS Death
BUT
That God's Gift To REPENTANT Man IS Eternal Life
THROUGH
Jesus Christ aka The Lord?!

Surely Not To Honor God
Uplift Jesus Christ
Walk In The Living Light Of The Holy Spirit Of God - Which IS God - Against Which God Blasphemy Is Not Ever Forgiven, Neither in This Life Nor In the Life To Come?!

How Can You "Live"  With Yourself Knowing That You Get Paid For and Never Write Your Own Sermons But Have The Self-Styled "Intelligentsia" Write Them For You Based On The World's Winds Of Prevailing Change And NOT From The True And Living Word Of God?!

Don't You Know That God Can't Change His Attitude, His Position On Sin,  Life,  Death, Living, Punishment, Reward,  Today,  Tomorrow,  Yesterday, His Law,  His Love,  His Hates,  His Griefs ... His Griefs  .. AND That He Doesn't Rest Nor Sleep?!

He Said I Himself: "I AM The Lord! I Change Not!"

God Sees You!
God Knows You, And He Knew That You Were Going To Deny His Sovereignty So That You Could Have Access to ... to ... UNNECESSARY THINGS!!

Why Do You Lie To The People By Calling God A Good Man Who Gives To The Unrepentant The Desires Of His Own Deceitful Heart According To That Man's Desiring And NOT According to God's Riches In Glory Which Are Eternal - NOT TEMPORAL?!

Why Do You Not Give God His Due And Stop Giving To Satan The Proceeds Of His Myriad Thefts?!

Why Do You Love Satan And Hate God By Elevating Lies And Calling Good Bad, Truth A Liar, and The Light Of Life Darkness And Death?!

Why Are You Afraid To Tell The People Seeking After Christ And His Righteousness That Pay-day Is Coming,  And That God -  Having Kept For Himself Perfect Records - Is The Strict Pay-Master AND Will Give To Every Human That Ever Lived, Or Will Ever Live, His Just True AND Earned Earnings?!

Have You Forgotten Philippians 4:13?

Have You No Shame?!

Hirelings Such As Yourself Are A Real Cautionary Tale Of What A True Bible-Believing Honest-to-God Christian or Under-Shepherd Should Never Be!

You Love God - Sorta!

You Hate Sin - Kinda!

You Despise Satan - Shoulda!

You Toe Christ's Line -  Coulda!

You Trust God's Word -  Woulda!

You Preach Sin, Confession, Repentance, Regeneration - Can't!

You Will Receive The Promise - Won't!

It Is Truly Sad That The Gross Love Of Money Is What Motivates Men Like Yourself Who Refuse To Trust The True Living Only God Of Creation, Provision, Sustenance, Repair, Reproof, Reward, Love, Life, and Living!

All God Asks Is:

"Will I Find Faith When I Come?!"

Where Is Your Professed Faith In The Everlasting Father?

What Happened To Your Hope In The Returning Christ?

Is Money So Important To Your Being That You Tell "Lying Truth"  For The $10, $100, $1000.00 Offering?!

Why Are You Catering To Fickle Friends Who Find Faith In Feelings From The Fraud?!

Are You Not Afraid To Face The Father Who Frowns On Infidelity And Dishonesty And Lies And Liars And Hypocrisy?!

If Your Judgment Was Set Right This Very Minute, What Would You Say To God Concerning:

His Faith?
Your Faithfulness?

His Truth?
Your Trustworthiness?

Your Reasoning Of "Right?"
His Righteousness?

Your Blessings?
His Blessed Bounty?

His Faithful People?
Your Devilish Power?

His Illuminating Power?
Your Dastardly Mission?

His Grace?
Your Feigned Peace?

His Mercy?
Your Truthfulness?

His Kingdom?
Your Praise?

His Praise?
Your Demonic Worship?

Did Not God Say Preach The Truth In Season AND Out Of Season?! @@@


Dear Ones:

While Ministers Of The Gospel Are Held To A Higher Standard, And While They Are Yet Men Subject To Falls From Grace, Forays Into Greed, and Crass Stupidity, We, As They, Have A Responsibility,  i.e., "To Work Out OUR OWN Salvation With Fear And Trembling!"

We Need - As Believers In The Christ Of Calvary - To Walk Away From The Cult Of Personality AND Look To Only Jesus - The Real Jesus - Who Preached Sacrifice, Self-Denial, Brotherhood, Service, and Leadership By Service, And Who Authors AND Finishes Our Faith:

We Will Live Because He Had Died!

We Will Fly

Because Death Has - For Him -
No Hold Nor Reply!

Neither The Pastor, The Prophet

The Pope, The Priest

Can GAIN Us Heaven

But Can It From Us Thief!

Love - Don't Trust - Them!

Word Is: "Doth Saith Your God!"

Get Yourself A Real Bible

AND

Read The True Words Of The Living Almighty God!

*******

Working For God 
Is
A Working For Love Of God
NOT 
FOR LOVE OF MONEY!

No Matter How "Pretty"

Sin ALWAYS Costs!

No Matter How Small

God ALWAYS Pays!

ONLY TRUST JESUS CHRIST
