Feeding The Great Ones!?!

Fair Faith
High Hope
True Love
Living Trust
And
Deadly Doubt
All Feed On And Or Against Self
And
No Surprise ... Each Other!

I Told You Before
And
I'm Telling You Again:

If You Love, You'll Love!
If You Trust, You'll Trust!
If You Exercise Faith, You'll Exercise Faith!
If You Live In Hope, You'll Live With Hope!
If You Cherish Doubt, You'll Live With Doubt
And 
Multiply Doubt
To Your Own Soul's Destruction!

Doubt Is Like The Result You Get
When You Chop Onions
Shake Black Pepper
And
Activate Yeast!

Onions Make You Cry!
Pepper Makes You Sneeze
And
Yeast Bubbles Up Out And Expands Your Dough
And
Left Unchecked ... Over-Proofs
And
Left Unattended
And
Then Utterly Neglected
Is Ultimately Discarded!

There Is No Vacuum In The Life Of Man!

There Is Cause And Effect That 
Affects And Reflects
Because
That With Which You Feed Your Spirit
Is 
Exactly What Your Spirit Begets!

When You Believe The Word
Trusting The Source Of The Word
You Will Believe The Source
And
Trust The Word!
There Is No Middle Ground!

Jesus Christ Is The Word
And
The Word Is ...!

... Truth!

You Grew Up Enjoying That Which You Were Daily Fed!
You Enjoy Going Where, Daily, Your Spirit Is Led!
You Enjoy Associating With Those
With Whom You Keep Company
And
You Avoid The One Whom
You Call Your Enemy!

NowI Get It!
What You Do Is ... Doable!
What You Did Is ... Done!
What You Avoid Is ... Avoidable!
When You Hate Sin, You ... Run!

Very Nice!

Learn The Lesson ...

When Doubt Is Fed
Disbelief In The Lord's Available Grace 
And
Free Mercy ... Grows!
When Daily Faith Is Moment By Moment Fed
The Benefits Of The Lord's Grace And Mercy Show
And
Love Hope And Trust Increase
And
Reliance On Feelings
Reliance On Self
Reliance On Man's Opinions
Reliance On Appearances
Are Like Cured Disease!
They Become Deceased!

Don't! Don't! Don't!
Do Not Tempt The Living God!
You Are Playing With Consuming Fire!
You Will Experience Almighty God's Ire!
Sin And Sinners Have Their Own Reward
And
That Means Those Who Cherish Doubt
Indulge Disobedience
Who Despise Truth
Who Ignore Light
Who Love Darkness
Those Who Choose To Consort With Satan
The Known Wily Fraud
That Fallen Angel
Whose Heart's Desire
Is 
To Take The Place Of
The Ever-Living All-Knowing God!

You Said, "Is!"
You Mean To Say Satan Is Still Trying To Be God!?!

Yes, He Is!
Jesus Christ Already Defeated Him On The Cross
But
He Is Still Waging War
And
The People Of God Need Ever To Be Vigilant
Because
That Roaring Lion Has Very Sharp Claws!

Trust In The Lord Always!
Everybody 
And 
Everything Else Is Questionable!

Believe ... AND?! + PRAYER: Father, Please Hold Me!





Salvation
Is Not For A Country
A City
A Community
A Family
Nor
A Church!
Salvation Is For A Seeking Soul
The One Who Sees The Need 
For Jesus Christ
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Living God
Who For His People Works!

Salvation Cannot
Be Begged
Bought
Nor Bartered!
It Is Not Something For Which We Can Work!
It Is Not Something About Which We Can Boast Over
It Is A Gift
Freely Offered To All Men
Something That No Creature Can Pervert!

Believe
On The Lord Jesus Christ 
AND ...
The Small Word
With Eternal Implications For Mankind
Is Followed By
Thou Shalt Be Saved
Which Is A Call 
To Action
Followed By 
A Promise
Guaranteed 
By Shed Blood
To Be Fulfilled
On Almighty God's Very Own
Never Early
Can't Be Late
Specified
Known Only To Himself 
Date!

We Must Believe!
Believing Entails Effort On Our Part
AND
We Must Act According To Our Belief
Living True To The Promissor
Trusting The Word
AND
Believing That Our Belief
Our Faith
To Receive The Blessing
Is One Cost That 
We Can Truly Afford!

Does Your Faith Have Belief?
Does Your Belief Have Trust
That You Will The Promise Receive?
Do You Live As Though The Transaction Is A Done Deal?
Do You Share The Word Of The Blessed Hope
Or
Does Doubt
Cause You Still With Sin To Grope
Butting Around Life
From Pillar To Post
Unfulfilled
Uncaring
Unaware
That Living With Godly Fear
Moves One Out Of Sin's Darkness
Into God's Eternal Light Of Life
Glory To Share?

A Mother Performs As One!
A Teacher Teaches!
An Actor Acts!
BUT ...
What Of The Saved Soul?

Are You Holding Jesus Christ's Hand?
Are You Walking
- With Faith - 
Toward The Heavenly Land
Trusting
In The Eternal Word
Following
The Gentle Shepherd
As A Named 
AND
Hearing Sheep
AND
Not Longing To Run 
With The Disobedient Goats Who Bleat?



Believing Hope Trusts Faith!

Loving The Lord Jesus
Causes Our Love To Love Others!
That Love Lifts Us Up
As Well As It Lifts Up Others!
That Love Looks Up In Hope
Trusting The Word Of The Word
Even Though There Is No Visible Rope To Hold
AND
We
Being Lead
- By The Greatest Lover -
Lead Others To The Knowledge
Of The Living Water 
Well-Knowing
That Living In Hope
Is Better Than Living As One Hopeless
Practically Dead 
Ever Consumed 
By Raging Doubt
Seriously Touched
In The Head!

What
- And By Whom -
Are You Being Fed?
Where
- And By Whom -
Are You Being Lead?

Is Your Leader-Feeder
 The Great Master
The Loving Lord
Almighty God
Or
Is It Some Strange One
For Whom
Getting Your Soul
To Be Lost
Is A Great Reward?

*********

Just As You Are Cautious
Of What
Goes Into Your Stomach
Be
Holy Spirit-Led Cautious
Of What
Goes Into Your Mind!

*********

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Please Guard My Mind!
Help Me Not To Be Consumed
By Those Things Carnal
That The World Calls Divine!
Cleanse My Palate!
Craft Me A New Heart!
Wash My Eyes
And
Unstop My Ears
So That I May Hear
The Heavenly Harps!

Lord,
I Trust You!
I Believe
I Worship
And
I Praise
Only You!
Please Hold Me
In Your Loving Arms
For
This Child Of Faith
Dearly Loves You!
I Pray These Petitions
In Jesus' Precious Name!
AMEN.
