Deliverance Is Just A Prayer Away!

Salvation Has Been Brought Down!

Deliverance 

Is 

Just A Prayer Away! 

The Good Book Doesn't Lie 

And

Neither Does The Living Loving Good God 

About Whom The Good Book Speaks! 

Beloved, 

All Of Almighty God's Promises Are Conditional! 

We Cannot Expect To Call Upon The Lord To Deliver Us 

When We Are Presumptuously Down In Babylon

In Known Confusion

Belly-Up To The Flesh-Pots

Drinking, Swearing

Basely Bowing Before Inanimate Idols 

Taking The Lord's Name In Vain 

Committing Murder With Our Mouths And Hands

Being False-Oath Takers

Coveting The Husbands, Wives, And Property Of Our Neighbors 

And 

Calling The Living God A Liar 

By Doubting His True Promise Of Forgiveness 

For Our Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Our Sin Is Not Bigger Than Almighty God's Capacity 

To Forgive And Cleanse 

So Accept What The Lord Has Already Given 

And

Turn Back From Condemned Babylon! 

Our God Calls: Answer! 

Our God Forgives: Accept! 

Our God Blesses: Believe! 

You're Human: 

Don't Use It As A Cloak For Sin! 

Our God Is Able 

So Rest In His Arms 

On His Word 

According To His Will 

And

In His Prescribed Way! 

Reach For The Extended Hand 

And 

Be At Peace! 

The Lord Knows Your Name

And

He Forgives 

And 

Cleanses You Of Your Sin And Shame 

After You Fulfill Your Obligation! 

Love The Lover Of Your Soul Solely 

And

Proclaim His Great Goodness To You Boldly! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Follow-Pattern Killed Cadogan: Faith In The Lord Is Precious Seed!

 

FACT: 

Faith ... Not Feeling

Is 

Precious Seed 

Which Bears Good Fruit To Abundant Harvest! 

Are You Indulging 

Infidelity Toward The Faith Of Jesus Christ 

Which Cannot Fail!?! 

Are You Waxing Bold 

And 

Daringly Indulging In Questioning

Doubting

And 

Criticizing The Living Word Of The Eternal God!?! 

Aren't You Afraid!?! 

When We Were Young

There Were Those Amongst Us 

Who Often Heard The Condemning Words 

"You Would Criticize The Very Dead!"

 

"You Would Take The Lord God Off His Throne 

If You Could!" 

Beloved, 

This Is A Nasty State Of Affairs 

With Which To Become Participant! 

There Is One Living God

One Holy Faith

And 

One True Baptism 

Which Washes Us Willing-Ones Clean 

From Every Sin! 

Ponder This ...

How Is It Possible That 

Any Of Us Finite, Known-Dying, Creatures 

Could Raise Up Altars To The False Gods Of 

Higher Criticism

Scientific Advancement

Financial Acumen

Entertainment Wizardry

And 

Sensual Fulfillment

And 

Call Our Creator A Liar 

And 

The Absentee Landlord

When ... Without Him

There Is Not Anything That We Can Do

To Even Help Or Save Ourselves  ... Or Another!?! 

Presumption Is A Sin!

Don't Tempt The Lord!

Dear Ones, 

Anything Outside Of Faith 

Is 

Sin 

And 

If We Choose To Doubt The Lord In One Thing

We Will Choose To Lose Faith In Him In Everything! 

One Foot-Fall ... One Wheel-Turn ... Starts The Journey: 

Where To Are You Headed!?! 

Old Wisdom:

Follow-Pattern Killed Cadogan! 

Translation:

Please Think For Yourself

And 

Don't Follow The Multitude To Do Evil

Because

What Sweetened Their Mouth

Might Very Well Kill You! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Satan The Damned 

The Originator Of Doubt

Is 

The Blasphemous Liar

Who From Glorious Heaven

Was Unceremoniously Kicked Out! 

Doubt Decimates! 

Truth Elevates! 

Don't Pontificate! 

Let The Living Word Of The Eternal God

Your Mind Educate! 

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise, Faith: 

Only Jesus Christ, The Living God, Saves! 

Exercise Faith

And

Don't Procrastinate! 

Peace!

The Truth Is

And

Faith Will! 

Are You Proudly Serving Yourself Or Humbly Serving The Savior!?!

The Proud, Presumptuous, Heart 

Will Never Be Humble  ... Or Humble Enough 

To Give In To The Desire To Respect Others 

And 

Their Rights! 

How, Then, Could A Proud Known Self-Serving Person 

Be A True Christ Follower!?! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Great And Glorious Example

Was Meek And Lowly Of Heart

And 

We Are Told ... Cautioned ... That 

Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit

There Is No Law! 

Beloved, 

Pride 

Is 

A Devilish Trait Of Character 

And 

Presumption

- Acting With Fore-Knowledge And Malicious Intent - 

Is 

Simply Bold, Heaven-Daring, Sinning 

With Mere Men, Women And Children 

Acting As Their Own God: 

The True And Eternal God 

Is 

Lowered To The Status Of A Despised Servant! 

The Proud Heart 

Is 

Its Own God

So, Therefore, A Proud Christian 

And 

A Presumptuous Saint Are Fallacies 

And 

All Of Us Who Are Students Of The School Of Jesus

And 

Of The Family Of God

Presently Striving For The Mastery Of Self 

To Gain The Victory Over Sin 

And 

Escape The Clutches Of Satan

Seriously Need To Return To The Basics: 

Jesus Christ First! 

Truth First! 

Light First! 

The Way First 

Aka Jesus Christ First, Last 

And

Always! 

Truth Frees ... 

Self Is A Sinner: 

The Savior Is Our Sure And Secure Salvation! 

Humility Elevates: 

Pride Decimates! 

Be Wise For Yourself ...

Check Your Attitude: 

Dare To Follow The Book

And

Clean Out To Climb Up! 

Dare To Live In Godly Fear! 

Serving Others Is Not A Bug-Bear! 

Self-Serving Doesn't Serve Self

Because

It Superbly Serves Satan! 

FORGIVENESS: To Err Is Human!

Held Hate

Holds

Human Health Hostage! 

It Should Not Surprise Us 

To Know That Holding Grudges 

And 

Malice Against Others In Our Hearts 

Grossly Affects Our Personal Health And Well-Being! 

Emotional Sickness Manifests Itself Physically 

And 

Jesus Christ Showed This Truth 

When He Healed The Man Sick With Palsy! 

The Man's Heart Was Sore! 

He Needed Forgiveness More Than Physical Healing! 

The Lord's Prayer Asks To Forgive Our Debts 

As We Forgive Our Debtors! 

When We Forgive ... Even Ourselves

We Are Forgiven! 

Are You Almighty God That 

You Refuse Forgiveness To Your Self And Another!?! 

If You Act As Though You Are Almighty God

Then You Are A False God 

And

In Direct Opposition To The Eternal God 

And

You Shall Perish In 

And

For Your Sin! 

We, Human ... Mortals ... Are Frail, Fragile, Creatures

And 

It Does Not Take A Lot To Turn Our Lives Upside Down 

So Think Carefully

And 

Act Wisely! 

A Peaceful Night's Sleep 

Is 

A Blessed Gift Of The Eternal God Not To Be Despised! 

Take TheAlmighty God's Forgiveness 

By Being Forgiving To Others

Because

We Ain't All That 

That We Should Puff Up With Pride 

And 

Pointedly Point At Others And Say: 

"Looka Dem!" 

To Err Is Human! 

Forgiveness Is Divine! 

Try It!

Let The Master Teacher Enter In!

People, People!
Let's Keep Our Focus!
All That's Required Comes From Three Little Words!

Everybody Knows The Three Words:

Do-Good Ain't Always-Right!
Love Your Brother!
Share Your Faith!
Live In Peace!
Walk In Truth!
Be The Light!
Love The Lord!
Spread The Gospel!
Should I Continue!?!

No, Thank You!
You Sounded Awfully Bored In Your Delivery!

Oh, I Was!
We Hear The Same Thing Every. Single. Week.
I Could Do With A Change!

Sinclair!
It's Official!
You're My New Favorite!
I've Got The Change You're Looking For
And
The Change We All Desperately Need!

Brethren,
Our Three Little Words
New, Needed And Necessary
Are ... Drum Roll, Please:

Confess!

Repent!

Obey!

You Had To Go There!
You Just Had To Go There!

Why Did You Have To Go There ...?!?

... Because The Lord Gives Us Freely Of 
Grace, Mercy And Love
And
We, Being Faithful Servants
Good Children
And
Attentive Students
Need To Give The Lord Our Gifts Of
Confession, Repentance And Willing Obedience!

A Good Christian With Unconfessed Sin
Is 
As Profitable  ... As Useful
As Bound For Glory As ... As ... A ...!

... As An Unrepentant Sinner!
He Ain't Ever Going To Glory 
With Jesus Christ The Lord!

Oh, Sinclair!
You've Just Proved Why You're My Favorite Today!

Jesus Doesn't Have Favorites!

Jesus Also Doesn't Have Any Sin!
What's Your Point!?!

Just Once! Just Once!

Just Once What!?!

Just Once 
I'd Like To Have The Last Word Against You!

That's Easy!
Say Something Amazing To Shut Me Up!
Blow My Mind ... And Close My Mouth!

Father, You Heard Him!

To Be Serious, Rainey, We Are Not In Competition!
We're Searching For Hidden Treasure!
We're Searching For His Truth
So Let Us Cooperate With His Spirit
And
I'm Sure That We'd All Have A Nugget Of Gold
With The Brethren To Share!

Father,
Please Open The Young Lady's Eyes

And
Bring Your Saving Truth Into Her View
And
Remember Us All, Also
For We're Listening, Lord, To You!

Let The Class Begin!

Let The Master Teacher Enter In!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, We Plead!

AMEN!!!

Beloved,

Our Biggest Crime 

Against Our Own Souls

And

Against Our Holy God

Is

Our Indulging In Self-Deception!

Self-Deception Does Not Negate

Our Need For Willing Obedience To The Lord!

Take Heed ...

Have A Look In The Mirror 

And 

See Your Face!

Have A Look In The Word Of God 

And 

See Your Living Condition: 

Your Known Disgrace!

We Receive Information From Both Sources 

About Which We Must Make Actionable Decisions! 

Choose Well!

Choose Wisely!

And

Earmark For Yourself In Heaven A Place!

The Problem Is That 

Neither Of These Disclosing Agents 

Will Do The Necessary Work For Us 

To Clean A Dirty Face

Or Reform ... Change ... A Sinful Life! 

We Are God's Most Intelligent Creatures On Earth 

Who Have Free Will ... Free Choice

Able To Take Knowledge 

And 

By Wisdom From On High

Use Understanding To Gain Profitable Outcomes!

The Bible 
Is 
A Work-Book

Not A Fairy Tale Story Book

So Get Your Pencil 

And 

Get To Doing The Work! 

For Mistakes Made ... For Known Sin

The Contrite Heart's Prayer Of Confession 

And 

Repentance 

Is 

Your Eraser: Use It Liberally! 

AMEN!!!

May I Add Something, Please!?!

Of Course, Rainey!

Brethren,
Just Because We Can Confess And Repent
Of Our Known Sin
Let Us Not Use The Promise Of 
Our Father's Forgiveness
As An Open Pass To Indulge In 
The Sin Of Presumption!
Confession And Repentance Are Not Licenses
To Indulge In Folly!
Obedience Is A Shield!

Rainey,
Thank You, Kindly, For That Final Word!
There Is Nothing More To Add!

 

SIN OF PRESUMPTION: Covetousness

Covetousness Is Presumption! 

There Is The Old Saying:

Covetousness Is A Curse

And

Licorishness Makes It Worst!

There Is The Word Of God:

Covetousness Is Idolatry

And No Idolater Nor Covetous Person

Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God!

The Lord Has Made It Abundantly Clear That

He Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake

And

That He Will Provide For Us

According To His Riches In Glory!

I Ask Us All:

Where Is The Faith, The Hope, The Trust!?!

Why Are We Christians Indulging In Worldly Lust!?!

We Need To Recognize, Brethren

That There Is Good Lust

And There Is Bad 

And

We Need To Know The Difference

And

Practice That Which Will Cause Our Savior

Over Our Decision To Be Glad!

Brother Billy, 
I Don't Understand How Covetousness 
Could Be Both Good And Bad

When The Word Says That
You Can't Get Sweet Water And Bitter Water From The Same Souce

With The Apostle James Also Stating That

Blessing And Cursing Shouldn't Come From The Same Tongue!

Very Good Points, Danette!

Let's Figure This Out Together!

Achan Coveted Forbidden Gold
Silver And A Babylonish AKA Worldly Garment!

Was This Good!?!

That Was Very Bad! 

He Caused The Unnecessary Deaths Of God's People

And He Lost The Goods Coveted And His Own Life!

Prophet Balaam Coveted King Balaam's Treasure 
Even Though It Was The Forbidden Reward 
For Doing A Disobedient Work!

Good Or Bad!

Bad! Real Bad!

His Wickedness Cost 24,000 People Their Lives Up Front

And For His Trouble

Both He And His Evil Paymaster 
Perished In War Against Their Despised Targets!

Are We Learning Anything Yet!?!

I Know That I Am:

Covetousness Doesn't Profit!

Well Said!

Those Were Old Testament Cases!

Now We Shall See If The Law Of God Has Changed

And

"Made" New Testament Covetousness A "Baptised-Good" Thing!

Let's Consider The Close Companion Of Christ

The Bag Man Aka Accountant

Aka In-house Thief, Judas Iscariot

The Betrayer!

Judas Coveted Perishable Silver

And Sold Out Eternal Gold

To Get What He Could, Would, Never Spend ...!

... This Was Bad, Bad, Bad!

10,000 Times Bad ... And Inordinately Foolish!

He Lived With God In The Flesh

And Still Said There Was No God

By Believing That He, A Mere Man

Could Set, As In Direct, The Lord's Calendar

Life And Times!

Very True!

This Brings Us To ...!

... I Know! I Know!

Ananias And His Confederate Wife, Sapphira!

Those Two Lied To The Holy Spirit

And Those Two Swiftly Died For Their Lies!

Indeed!

Theirs Was Folly Of The Highest Order!

They Were Coveting The Praise Of Man

Over A Gift That They Freely Chose To Give To God

To Get The Praise Of Men

For A Gift They Gave To God With One Hand

And 
Blithely Took Back With The Other!

Just Hearing You Say That Is Twisting My Tongue!

Sincerity Before God Is A Serious Business!

Now That We Know What Bad Covetousness Is

What Would You Say Is Good To Covet!?! 

The Things Of God

Things That Don't Perish ...!

... Things That Elevate Us And Draw Us Closer To Christ!

Prophesying ... Teaching The Word

Being Blessed To Bless Others ... In Jesus' Holy Name

And Seeking After Skills Or Gifts 
To Be Used To Enhance The Work Of Spreading The Good News

Covetousness Was Introduced Into Heaven By Satan

And
Promulgated And Practiced On Earth

And

It Shall Be Terminated By Jesus Christ The King

When He Shall Cast All Its Adherents 
Into Hell At The Third Coming

When He Will Deal With Those Who Get Up

At The Second Resurrection

Those Whose Names Are Not Found Recorded

In The Lamb's Book Of Life!

Brethren, 

The Choice ... As Always
Is 
Personally Each Man's Own

No Force

No Coercion!

We, Each, Must Choose To Believe ... Or Not

That The Lord ... The Word Made Flesh

Is 
True And Faithful

Ever Keeping His Word Of Promise!

There Is No Straddling The Fence!

Believe ... Or Doubt

But Don't Ever Waffle!

Believers Are Blessed!

Doubters Minds May Change!

Wafflers Are Neither Coming Nor Going

And As Such

Are Good Only For The Burn Box!

They Are Double-Minded ... Unstable

Therefore ... Unprofitable

Useless 

Condemned 

Damned!

The Lord Can Relieve Honest Doubts

If We Are Willing To Be Convinced!

Think About It:

Presumptuous Sin Is Deadly, Twice! 

You, A Mere Mortal, Being Willfully Disobedient
Tempt Almighty God 
By Demanding He Save You From The Folly Of Doing 
What He Didn't Ask 
And
You Act As God
Demanding The Real God Do What You Command! 

Disobedience Is As Witchcraft, A Sin
And 
Acting As God Is Idolatry ... False Worship
Which Is Also A Sin! 

Covetousness Is Also Idolatry! 

We Are To Have Total Faith And Trust In God 

And 

We're Never To Test ... Tempt ... Almighty God 
In A Foolish Effort To Prove His Faithfulness! 

Satan Tried This On Jesus! 

Jesus Christ The Lord ... Our God Holy

Put Satan In His Place With The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Please Don't Let The Lust Of Your Flesh 
Incite You To Offend The Almighty 

And 

Sin Against Your Own Soul! 

The Lord Has Given Us His Holy Law 
And 

He Has Given Us His Promise Of Care: 
For All Your Needs
Let These Be Sufficient!

Repentance ... In Advance!?!

How Can You Be Sorry
For Doing Something That
You Have Not Yet Done!?!

And
Pray Tell Why Were You Offering Repentance Before-Hand
And 
Then Committing Sin!?!

Did You Really Believe That The Living God Holy

Was, Is, Going To Accept Your Putrid Offering!?!

Look, Just In Case You Have Not Been Told
Nor Are You Aware
Your Pre-Performance Repentance For What Is Known Sin
Is 
The Sin Called Presumption
And
The God Of All Grace Will Not Accept
Your Not-A-Gift
And 
You Will Have An Unrepented Of Sin On Your Record
In Your Hands!

That Was Extraordinarily Foolish!

It Sounded Cute!
I Thought It Was Cute!
I Wanted To Do My Own Thing
But I Didn't Want To Offend The Lord Outright
So I Decided To Go For The Two-For-One
You Know, The BOGO
Buy One Get One Free Or At A Great Discount ...!

... You Simply Cannot Be For Real!
You Have Surely Lost Your Mind!

Do You Really Believe That
You And The Living God Are Street-Hustling Partners
So That You Can Dishonor Him
With Your Philosophical Garbage
And 
He'd Be Eternally Grateful 

For Your Smelly Contribution!?!

What Were You Thinking!?!

I Wasn't!

Do You Realize That You Could Have Died Out There
And
In One Fell Swoop
You Would Have Been Lost 

To The Kingdom Of Christ ... Forever!?!

I Wasn't Thinking ...!
... I Wanted To Be Just Like Everybody Else
One Last Time ...!

... You Were Almost A Corpse ... Like Nobody Else!

Please Don't Say That!

I Did, And It Stands!
Was Your Foray In Fun Really Worth This Outcome!?!

Look At Yourself!
Body Brace, Shoulder Brace
Elbow Braces, Wrist Braces
Knee Brace, Eye-Patch
And
All Just For A Cheap Thrill!?!

I Did It!
It's Done!

You Could Have Been Done
But
Almighty God Was Merciful To You!

Thank You, Father, For Saving Grace!

Thank You, Lord

He Still Has A Life In The To-Salvation Race! 

Thank You, Lord

For Not Letting Him Be Destroyed

And Be Lost To The Glorious Kingdom

Because Of Gross Folly

And Thank You For Relieving Satan

Of The Opportunity

Against Jesus Christ

To Be Vindictively Joyful And Happy!

Please, Tan, I Beseech You
Do Not Tempt The Lord Again!
You Are A Mortal
And 
You Can Have Your Life Recalled!
Don't Be Presumptuous!
You Know That We're Trying To Get Out From Under
The Effects Of The Fall
So Don't Be Like The Very Foolish Strong-Man Samson
And
The Wittingly Presumptuous King Saul!

Lord, Forbid!
The Lord Knows That I Am Truly Sorry!
I've Learned My Lesson
And It's The Straight And Narrow Way For Me
From Hereon!

I Love You
But
The Lord Loves You The Best!
Do Not Ever Again Put Him To The Test!

I Sincerely Promise That I Won't Do That Again!

Let's Praise Jesus And Glorify Almighty God!

AMEN!!!
