Spiritual Dwarfism!?!

Brethren,

I Am Ashamed To Confess That 

I, A Christian, Am Suffering From

I Am Afflicted By Spiritual Dwarfism

And 
So Are You All!

I Am Sorry To Tell You That 

Left Unchecked, Uncured

It Is 100% Fatal

And

We Are All In The Terminal Case Lounge!

Many Of Us Are Being Made Comfortable 

For The Final Gasp 
Through Palliative Aka Comfort Care

And 
Are Overdosing On Feel Good And Pain-Free!

Many Of Us Are Sworn And Determined

To Go Out With A Bang

To Go Down With Shooting Flames

Through Fulfilling Unprofitable Desires 

Cataloged On Publicized Bucket Lists

And

Many Others Don't Give A Rat's Well

And

Are Living As Though Tomorrow's Sun Must Rise For Them!

You've Stated Our Problem

So May I Take It That

You, A Pathfinder
A Friend And A Companion, An Explorer
A Ranger, A Guide
A Master Guide Even
Know Of, Or Has Access To, The Solution

The Cure ... The Therapy 

The Way Out ... The Way Forward

The Sure Way To Salvation ... Spiritual Growth In Grace

To Reposition Us Who Are Willing!?!

Renounce... And Represent!

I See You And I Heard The Words

But I Haven't Gained Anything ... Yet!

Would You Care To Unwrap The Package

And Open The Pot And Share The Goodies!

I Could Eat Something Good 

Right About Now! 

Alright, Then! 

People, We've Got Problems

And

The Word Of God Has All Of The Answers
So Let's Dig Deep Into That Little Verse

In Philippians 4:19!

We All Cheer Ourselves With This Verse 
So Let's Really Explore It! 

Think About It! 

My God: Because I, Personally, Know Him

Will Supply: Everything Is His And He Loves To Share

Your Need: Because You Have Them And He Is Able To Fill Them

According To His Riches: Since He Made Everything
Known, Unknown, Seen, Unseen
Unexpected, Unanticipated, Unrequested

In Glory: His Glory, His Dominion, His House Of Abode 

Where He, In His Abiding Love

And 

Available, Purchased-For-You Grace

Is 

Giving You Unmerited Favor ... With Free Mercy 

Because 

He Feels And Has Compassion For You

And 

Desires Your Personal, Spiritual, Prosperity! 

We Need To Renounce ... Along With Sin

Doubt And Ungodly Fear

And

Show To Our Observers, Detracters 

The Doubtful

The Disbelieving And The Unbelieving 
His Love And Care For Us

And

Represent ... Really Represent Our Lord

His Word ... His Character

Displaying Our Love And Obedience
And
The Saving The Faith We Declare That We Live By!

What's The Point Of

Calling People To Believe In

To Worship And Praise

The Lord Of Life

That You Don't Fully Trust

To Daily Provide

For Your Every Need!?! 

We Walk Around With Our Stomachs In

Our Bibles Out

Smiles Down

And

Frowns In The Air

And

Have The Gizzards, The Gumption 

The Unmitigated Gall To Say That

"We're Too Blessed To Be Stressed!"
And
"Too Wise To Be Worried!"

When We're Deathly Afraid To Breathe Too Deeply! 

So What!?! We're Humans! 

What We Are 

Is

Professed, Praticing

Regenerated Christians

Bound For Zion

Living By Faith

Trusting The Word

Commanded To Deny The Works Of The Flesh

To Don The Whole Armor Of God

To Not Have The Spirit Of Fear

To Approach Boldly The Throne Of Grace

To Wrestle With God 

To Demand A Blessing ...!?! 

Who Are We To Demand Anything From Almighty God!?! 

I'm So Glad You Asked That Question! 

We Are Confessed And Repentant Sinners

Children Greatly Beloved

Students Devotedly Diligent

Workers Trusted And Commissioned

Believers Enduring, Praying, And Blessed! 

The Lord Said To Ask  ... In Faith ... Nothing Wavering! 

He Said Seek ... As For Hidden Treasure! 

He Said Knock ... And The Door Shall Be Opened! 

I Get It! I Truly Get It!

A Knock Requesting Entry Cannot Be Timid! 

A Knock Is A Command! 

A Knock Is A Demand! 

A Humble, Heartfelt, Faith-Filled Prayer

Is

A Demand For Provision
Comfort, Care, Protection, Enlightenment And More! 

Jesus Christ Said To Pray ... Without Ceasing! 

If A Prayer Is A Knock

Unceasing Prayer Is Constant Knocking!

Bold Knocking Requires Attention!

Constant Knocking Demands An Answer!

Constant Knocking ... Constant Praying Gets His Attention

Because

Constant Praying Is A Demand

A Demand For Satisfaction ... For Relief

So We Must ...!

... We Must Demand That Our Needs

Be Satisfied ...!

... But That Only Works 
If 
The Heart Is Right With The Lord
Because

Otherwise ... Your Prayers Become An Abomination! 

I Feel Cheated! 

No One Ever Told Us This Before! 

Beloved, 

You Know Now

So Be Bold ... Be Humble

Be Pleased To Ask

And 

Be Blessed To Receive 

What The Lord Christ Has To Share! 

Let's Exercise Faith Today! 

The Lord Is Listening 

And 

Eagerly Waiting For Our Moves

Our Prayers

Our Demands Made Out Of Trust! 

Let's Make Our Petitions Right Now! 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

We Come Boldly

In Faith 

Trusting You At Your Word

Leaning On Your Strength

Urged On By Your Love

Holding Grace And Mercy! 

Pity Us And Help Us

To Pray More

To Commune More

And

To Commit To You Completely!

We Ask These Blessings

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN!

Brethren, 

We Have A Gift ... A SCOPE! 
It Is Both A Microscope 
And
A Telescope
And

We Can See ... If We So Desire:

Strength ... He Gives Us Strength Every Day

Courage ... Our Faith In Gives Us Courage

Opportunity ... We Are Mortal So We Take The Time To Connect With Him

Prayer ... Without Praying To Him We Are Dead Without Him

Endurance ... There's No Point To Running 
If 
We Do Not Plan For 
And 
Prepare To Reach The Expected End

At The ... Due ... Time Stipulated

And Thence

To Dance As King David Danced

In Holy Celebration 

For Overcoming ... Achieving ... Winning! 

Brethren, 

Spiritual Dwarfism 
Is 
A Curse ... A Disease ... A Plague ... To Be Cured!

All Who Inherit Eternity
Are Giants Of The Faith That Cannot Fail
And So
Endurance Born Of That Holy Faith Is Everything! 

Endurance Is Not Just A Word!

It Is A Schedule!

Run ... The Race To Win

Due ... Arrive According To Schedule

End ... With The Victory Song

Dance ... As One Forever Blessed Into Eternity! 

Let Us ... By Almighty God's Great Grace
Make Jesus Christ The Lord Our All And All! 
Glory Awaits The Overcomer!

AMEN!!!
