Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!

Only A Look, One Look

Is 

All It Took For Us To Know That 

The Elders Meant Business! 

One Look Toward Granny Before Attempting An Act

And 

Seeing Where Her Gaze Indicated

Gave Permission Or Promised Punishment! 

One Look From The Principal 

Caused Many A U-Turn To Be Executed 

By Those Bent Upon Mischief! 

Beloved, 

Shouldn't One Look At The Word Of God

One Indication From The Holy Spirit

Cause Us To Be Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation!?! 

What The Lord Promises, The Lord Performs! 

Should Not We As Faithful Servants

Obedient Children

And 

Careful Students Of The School Of Jesus 

Boldly Trust The Given Word 

And

Look For The Look That Leads Us Safely 

No Matter How Much Traffic

How Many Voices

How Many Contrary Indicators There Are Around Us Saying

"Nay! Go Another Way!?!" 

Has Not Our Lord Jesus Already Proved That 

He Can And Does Save!?! 

Would You Reject The Proof In And Of Your Own Life 

So That You May Belong To The Herd That Loves Death 

Because 

They Reject Wisdom!?! 

Jesus Christ Cares For His Children As Individuals: 

Walk With Him As One Alone 

And 

By His Saving Grace

You Shall Surely Arrive At The Heavenly Home! 

Steadfastly Look At The Lord 

Who Is Lovingly Looking Out For 

And 

Leading You With His All-Seeing Eye!

 Peace!

GROWTH FACTOR: The Seed!

A Living Seed Is Dead!
It Has No Way To Breed Life
But
When That Seed, Planted, Dies
It Becomes Alive
And
It Shall Bear Much Fruit
Out Of Its "Head!"

When That Seed Dies
It Cannot Live Again As That Seed
Because
It Goes Through The Transformation
With The Creator God Holding The Lead!

Do Not Think This Thing Strange!
Nothing Has Life In Or If Itself!
If The Lord Decides That Nothing Shall Grow
There Is No Created Being
Who Can Open That Closed Door!

We Would Do Well
As The Servants Of The Lord
To Ever Look To Him
For Direction, Correction And Protection
Because
It Does Us No Good
Like The Babel-Tower Babylonians
To Side-Step The Will Of God
To Protect Our Own Selves
From The Possibility Of Another Flood!

When We Walk According To The Will Of The Holy God
We Cannot Ever Be Manipulated
By The Wiles Of Our Adversary, King Fraud
Who Sought His Own Way
Refusing To Grow Where He Was Planted
And
Ended Up Being Uprooted
And
From Highest Heaven Being Transplanted!

A Seed Planted
Fulfilling The Will, Will Grow
And
Any Not Submissive To The Will Won't Grow
And
Their Lot Is To Be Consumed
The End Of Which They Won't Know!

Bow, Don't Burn!
Live, And Grow!
Produce Fruit Fit For The Garners Of The King
And
In The Day Of Harvest Celebration
Over You
The King, Welcoming
Shall Royally Sing!
To The Majesty Of Heaven, Brethren
For Dear Life, Cling!

Do You Desire To Ascend To The Heights Of Glory?

Easy!

Die To Self ... Daily!

PROFIT AND LOSS: The Call!

There Is No Profit In Disobedience!
There Is No Loss In Truth!
There Is No Gain By Deceitfulness
And
In The Regenerated Heart Of The Zion-Bound Soul
The Love Of The Lie Cannot Take Root!

We Who Are The Servants Of The Savior
We Who Are The Students In The School Of Christ
We Who Are The Children Of The Heavenly Father
Must
Strive For The Mastery Of Self
Discarding Sin
If
We Will To Overcome Satan In The Mortal Strife!

Unchecked Sin Is A Butcher's Knife!

Wine Of False Doctrine Does The Lord Mock

And
Strong Drink Makes The Unwary Mind Rage

And

Surprise, No Surprise 

Satan, Himself

Is 

The Distiller, Distributor
But
The Loving Ministrations Of The Lord Jesus
Removes The Chains From The Bound Slaves!

Please Do Not Lean On Your Own Understanding!
Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man!
Today Is The Day To Accept The Call To Salvation
And
To Get Out From Among The Damned-For-Eternity Clan!

Humility Obedience
Faith Hope 

And 

Trust
Prayer Praise 

And 

Worship
In And By The Saved Soul Are ... A Must!

Please Come To Jesus Christ Your Only Savior!
Please Commune With Jesus Christ Your One True Friend!
Please Bow Before Jesus Christ Your Creator
And
Give Unfeigned Glory To Jesus Christ The King
Your Hope
Your Help
The Judge Of All Flesh
- Our Soon Returning Lord -
And
The True God
Who Is In Perfect Control Of Every Single Thing!

Deny Satan The Wannabe God

And
Accept Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Your Will Receive The Saint's Reward!

Give Unto The Lord Your All!

Prayer

So That We May Petition For Assistance

And Also Commune With Our God

In The Stillness Of Our Souls!

Thank You For The Blessing!

Father,

Some Of Us Love You

Others Not So Much

But

Your Love For All Of Us

Remains The Same

To Remain Enchained!

Has Prepared For Me

A Heavenly Resting Place!

What Joy Awaits!

For

I Love

Honor

And

Bless You

And

Humble Myself Willingly

In Worshipful Service

Unto You Who Alone Is Holy!

Lord, I Draw Nigh In Jesus' Faith!

Father,

I Seek Not Riches!

I Seek Not Fame!

I Hanker Not For Houses Nor Land

But For The Love Of Shiloh

The Great I Am

The Returning One

In Whom Is No Hidden Agenda

Nor Misdirecting Device!

Great Is Our God!

Oh, Lord

Help Me To Live Clean

Denying The Liar

Even The Token Victory!

Help Me Not To Desire To Be Seen And Heard

Nor To Yearn 

After The Trifles And Enchantments

Of The Goat Herd!

Help Me To Live As A Sheep

Walking Faithfully Behind The Lamb

For The Desire Of My Heart

Is To Reach Heaven's Table Land!

Seal Me!

Save Me In The Day Of Battle

In Jesus' Name, I Stand And Plead!

Grant Me, Lord

The Promised Victory!

AMEN.

Heaven Awaits Servant-For-The-Savior Corps!

I Had Always Aspired To Be A Servant!
A Faithful Servant Of The Living God
Ready
Willing
AND
Able To Do His Bidding
For The Ultimate In Blessing And Reward!

I Thought
On The Ultimate Servant
He Who Died
To Make My Treasured Position Possible
AND
Realized
That Love Makes The Work Ennobling
AND
Keeps Satan Out Of My Business
For
In God's Service
I Am On Prayer
Wrapped Up And Floating!

Working Honorably
In The Master's Service
Requires The Setting Aside  Of
Vanity
Airs And False Graces!
I Must Be Willing
To Make The Stand Unpopular
With The Rallying Call:

Death Before Dishonor
Though The Heavens May Fall!

For
I Am Nothing To Do 
With Doing A King Saul!

My Clothing
Was Changed Upon Entering 
Heaven Awaits Servant-For-The-Savior Corps!

Upon Entry
I Had To Leave Behind
Past Life
Willing Sinner
Self
Self-Satisfaction
Self-Gratification
Self-Service
Selfishness
Hate
Intemperance
Heedlessness
Greed For Gain
You Know ... Me-Itis
On The Chopping Floor!

I Willingly
Gifted Back My Will To Jesus
AND
Started Walking
In The Master's Way
Being Ever Ready
Daily
To Do As He Lovingly Says!

I Learned In The Servant-For-The-Savior Corps
That Constant Prayer Is A Must
For Help
For Strength
For Light
For Wisdom
To See The Wrong
AND
To Do The Right
To Make Peace
To Live With Hope
To Plead For Mercy
To Embrace Grace
To Be A Living Light
To Learn That The Earthly Fight
Is Not Won
By Power Nor Might
AND
That The Spirit Of The Living God Is Real
AND
Will Bud In Us
AND
Will Grow In Us
When
We Denigrate
AND
Deny Self
AND
Put The Love Of God
In Our Hearts
AND
Destroy The Self-Made Idols
That Had Obscured
Living Faith
Faith For Today
Faith And Works
Beauty In Truth
AND
All The Like Kindred
That Would Show
Jesus In Me
As My Changed Life's Proof!

While Working For The Lord Is Easily Hard
It Makes Living In The Hard World Easier!
I Recognized
That I Didn't Have To Have
Baubles And Beads
AND
Fashionable Creeds And Steeds!

I Realized
That I Can Live On A Little
Living For Him
Who Loves Me Best
AND
I Permit The World To Keep Its Oysters
For
By Faith
I'm With Jesus
Confidently Walking To
AND
Will Ultimately Walk Through 
The Pearly Gates Of Heaven Blessed
All My Known Sin
Forgiven
For
They Will Have Been Penitentially Confessed!

Field Work Is Available!

Will You Apply?

INDICTED: Working For God?!

You Love ME?!

How Can You Say You Love Me
When
You Say Nothing
Whilst Knowing That My Life Is A Big Fat Lie?!

How Can You Believe That You Love Me
When You Know That The Life I Lead
Will Cause Me To Eternally Die?!

You Say Your Way Is Better
BUT
Have You Shown Me
How To Live The Right Way?
Or
Is Your Better Way
Just For You
AND
Everybody Else
Is To Live Like
A Rabid Stray?!

I May Not Know Much
About The God That You Trust
BUT
I Have Heard A Thing Or Two
About The Holy God
AND
I Know
That The Truth
That You Are Unwilling To Feed Me
Makes You
Nothing More Than
A Laid Up
Weak
Unholy Fraud!

Love Me?!
You Most Certainly Do Not
OR
You Would - In Love -
Point Out
The Errors Of My Ways!
You Would Find Me
A Burden Upon Your Soul
AND 
Make Helping Me To See 
The Real Jesus
Your Life's 
True 
AND 
Ultimate Goal!

My Life Is Not
The Best One!
Lord Knows
It Is The Only One I Have Got
BUT
If I Were You
- An All-Fired Christian -
Working For My Jesus
I Would Try My Best
To Show The Right Way To You!

Please ...

Don't Try To Be Polite
Saying 
You Don't Want To Hurt My Feelings!
What Good Are Feelings
When As A Lost Sheep
I'm Dead?!

Tell Me Plain!
Let Me Make The Decision
To Accept 
Or 
To Ignore You
BUT
Don't Feed Me Lovely Provender
- With Poison -
On A Comfortable Four-Poster Bed!

Hurt Me ... With The Truth!
Don't Comfort Me ... With A Lie!
Help Me To Make
An Informed Decision
So That
If 
I Choose The Lie
I Made That Choice
FREELY!
AND
I Won't Be Dying
Because
You Came To Me 
Pretty AND Lying!

The Lord Gave You Mission?!
So, Go On AND Do It!

The Lord Gave You A Message?!
So, Get Up AND Deliver It!

Do God's Work
For Which You Say
You Have Been Called
AND
Stop Acting Like
An Undercover Agent
For The King Of 
The Underground Fraud Squad!

So ...

Tell Me?

What IS The Word Of The Lord?
