Okay, Brethren!
Today We Shall Go Deep
And
We Shall Try Valiantly
To Hear What It Is That King David
Is
Really Telling Us About This Great God
He Worshiped And Faithfully Served!
Let's Read KJV Psalms 86 Verses 1-5
To Get The Feel For The Heart Writing The Words
And
Then I'll Give My Verse By Verse Take On It!
1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:
for I am poor and needy.
I Believe That The Shepherd, Psalmist, King
Is Pleading With And, Obviously
Believing On The Lord
And Comforting Himself By Praying Thus:
God Of Earth And Glory,
I Know You And I Need You Now, Today!
I Know That You Are Listening
So Listen To Me Again, Please!
To Your Willing Servant, Please Draw Near!
You Are Rich And Have Blessings To Give
And I Know That You Can Provide What You Know I Need
And I Need What You Alone Can Give To Me!
I Trust You!
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God,
save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
I'm Not Just Asking You To Keep My Mortal Body!
I'm Asking You To Save Me From The Second Death
Because You Are My God
And I Have Chosen To Live The Holy Life
That You Have Commanded Me To Live
And Have Provided The Means With Which
I Can Be Successful!
Lord,
I Am Actively Doing What You Say!
I Am Available To You And I Am Willing And Able Always
To Serve You With Love And Diligence!
You Are Worthy Of My Service
My Faith And My Worship
Because You Have Proven To Me, Personally
That You Are Almighty God ... And Able!
I Can Close My Eyes In Vulnerable Sleep
Knowing That With You I Am Safe
And Knowing That You Will Never Deceive Me
Your Humble Servant Who Is Walking By Faith
And Not By Lying Eyesight!
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
for I cry unto thee daily.
We Have A Relationship, Lord!
I Deserve Justice But Because I Know Your Character
I Am Pleading For Your Gift Of Mercy
Because I Acknowledge The Sins That
I Have Committed Against Your Holy Name!
I Am Broken!
My Heart Is Contrite!
I Repent!
I Cannot And I Will Not Hide From You!
We Commune Every Day About Everything!
We Share Intimately!
I Tell You My Dreams, My Hopes
My Triumphs
My Failures
My Sorrows, My Shame
And You Correct, Direct, And Protect Me
And You Lead Me
Showing Me How, When, Where To Walk
How To Go Out
And How To Come In!
See, There Are Tears Coming From My Eyes
Because Our Communion Is Not Superficial!
I Know That You Feel What I Am Feeling!
I Love You Till It Hurts!
I Know That You Love Me Sacrificially
And Will Prove It In The Day Soon To Come!
I Worship You!
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee,
O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Dear Lord,
You Bring Me Joy!
I Humble Myself Before
So That You Do Not Have To Shame Me!
I Find My Pleasure In You!
Do It Again Today, Please!
Raise Me Up
For All I Can Is Make The Effort To Walk Toward You:
Receive My Life And Make Me Like You!
I Have No Being Without You!
You Are Above!
I Am At Your Footstool
And I Am Grateful For Your Condescension That
Permits Me To Your Holiness
To Draw Near
And Without Ungodly Fear!
5 For thou, Lord, art good,
and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
Dear Master,
I See And I Appreciate Your Character!
I Am Blessed And I Know It!
What Wondrous Love This Is
With Which I Am Covered! Why Do You Love Me So!?!
This Is Perfect Love!
I Am Amazed That The Holy God
High And Lifted Up
Jealous For His Name
Not Excusing The Guilty
Is Ever Willing To Forgive
The Repentant Sinner Like Me
Who Chooses To Call
Not On A False God
- A Dumb Idol -
But On The Glorious God
Who Sees, Knows, Was, Is
Ever Present, All-Feeling And Eternal!
You Are Good!
You Give Good Gifts!
You Bless
And Glory, Hallelujah, Lord
You Forgive!
Brethren,
King David Actively, Personally,
Intimately Knew His God
His Master
His King
And
His Heart Was Glad!
We Are Instructed To Speak To The Lord
As To A Friend
A Trusted Companion Whilst Never Forgetting That He Is
The Holy God!
I Sincerely Urge Us To Approach With Love
And
Be Humbled By
And
Grateful For
The Privilege Of Personally Knowing Him
And
Having Him Be An Active Participant
In Our Daily Lives!
Speak The Truth For He Knows Your Thoughts
Your Actions
And
Is Aware Of All Your Motives!
The Lord God Almighty Is Available And Able ... Willing
And Ready To Help You
And
Just So You Know Who Your Best Friend Is:
He Creates
And
Though He Takes No Pleasure
In Such A Strange Act
He Destroys
And
Surprise, No Surprise
He Loves You ... And Me, Too
Personally!
Any Thoughts About What We Have Covered Today!?!
I'm Sure That I Speak For Everyone Here
When I Say:
I Desire To Know The Living, Holy, God
In The Same Personal, Intimate, Frank Way
That King David Knew The Lord
His Almighty God!
AMEN!!!
Brethren,
We All Can Be As King David Was!
He Knew That To Know Almighty God
Was To Have A Real Life
And
Not Just An Existence!
When You Sin, Confess And Repent! When You're Happy, Rejoice In The Lord! When You're In Sorrow, Cry Unto The Lord!
If You Love The Lord, Tell Someone!
If You're Just Glad To Be Alive
Bless The Lord With Your Praise
And
Just Because The Lord Is Our Shepherd
Our Hope, Help And Salvation
Pray, Pray, Pray ...!
... All Day And Every Day
No Matter What Others May Think
Do Or Say!
Heyyyy, Bonitz! Long Time No See! How Are You Doing!?!
I'm Good, Carey!?! What About You!?!
I'm Doing Well
And I'm Praising God, And Grateful!
I Haven't Seen You At Church Lately! Are Things Okay!?!
Things Are Going Well! I Have A New Church Family And I'm Having Loads Of Fun!
New Church Family!?! What Do You Mean!?!
You Haven't Heard!?!
Heard!?!
Heard What!?!
We All Go Down To CCM!
CCM!?! Never Heard Of It!
You Must Be Kidding!?! Girl, It's The Fastest Growing Ministry In These Parts With Standing Room Only For All The Services!
Really!?! Please Tell Me More And Start With That Name! CCM Sounds Kinda Catchy!
CCM Stands For Cafeteria Church Ministries And ...!
... That Pastor Must Have Been Seriously Ragged Growing Up With A Name Like That!
Oh, No! You're Mistaken! The Pastor's Name Is Idetentee Jusso! Cafeteria Is Cafeteria As In Food Service Make Your Selections Pay Your Bill Take A Seat! Enjoy Your Meal!
Huh!?!
Seriously! We Decide What We Want To Hear When We Want To Hear It How We Want To Hear It And To Our Individual Tastes And Temperaments We're Suitably Edified:
No Hurt Feelings! No Guilt Trips! No Fear Of Flames! Total Inclusivity! Rainbow Warriors! Personal Truth! Authentic Living! No Sinners! All Saints! No Sin! All Salvation! Common Good! It's Amazing, And I Love It!
You Would!
Pardon Me!?!
Oh, My! That Doesn't Sound Good! Uh, Which Bible Are You Using!?!
We Don't Use A Bible Bible! We Have A Good Book Of Great Truths With Daily Affirmations And Selected Messages From All The World's Great Religions! After All, All God's Are Equal!
Wow! That Sounds Like ...! I Wonder What The Spirit Is Like In Your Service!
Girl, It's Off The Chain! Everybody Is Happy, Excited, Laughing Rocking, Running And So, So, Very Loving! Miracles Abound!
Signs And Wonders!
You Hit The Nail On The Head! Signs And Wonders Always Appear And Pastor 'Tee Always Gets A Word And A Wonder From On High Whenever He Sits In The Great White Throne Chair!
Achooo! ACHOOO!
Bless You!
I Feel A Cold Coming On!
Are You Still Praying!?!
Oh, No! We Are One With Our Lord So There Is No Need To State The Obvious!
So Oblivious!
You Mean Obvious!
No, I Said What I Meant! You Are So Very Oblivious To The Truth! You've Broken The Trust And Your Carnal Lust Is Propelling You!
You Once Claimed Christ As Savior Lord And Master And, Now Instead Of Progressing You're Making Retrograde Steps! You're Letting A Charlatan Tickle Your Fancy Tickle Your Ears And You're Indulging Raging Lusts Instead Of For Heaven Getting Yourself Prepared!
Did Not The Lord Christ Warn Us To Not Let Anyone Deceive Our Souls!?! Did Not The Savior Warn Us That Satan Does Appear As An Angel Of Light Wearing Bright And White Clothes!?!
Don't You Know That We Are Not To Be Comfortable Living In Sin And Loving Self And Sin!?! Don't You Remember That In Order To Withstand A Spiritual Attack That To The Savior We Must Stay Attached!?!
Answer A Question For Me:
What Is Your Pastor Ideetentee's Definition Of Sin!?!
What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Sin!?!
Lord, Preserve Me! Okay, Okay! What Is YOUR Definition Of Sin!?!
My Idea Of Sin Is Unique To Me! What Is Sin To You Is Not Sin To Me! My Experience In My Personal Life Determines How My Traumatized Child Manifests Now In My Adult Life And Is, Therefore, Subjective Hence, For Me There Is Nothing Called Sin To Infect To Restrict The Actions Of My Life! Only Self Can Define What Is Sin!
Ahhhm, Where Is Jesus Christ In All Of This!?!
What About HIS Definition Of Sin!?!
Oh, That Definition Was Fine Back Then But We Are Evolved And Knowledge Has Increased! We Do Whatever Makes Us Happy! No Harm: No Foul! We Have Run To And Fro Around The World And A Consensus By The Great Minds Has Been Reached:
Take Care Of Mother Earth
Have Respect To Father Time
Be Kind To Our Animal Brothers And Sisters
Do Lots Of Good Works, And
Laud Self Above Everything
We Are No More Slaves! We Are Sure To Do What Makes Us Happy!
Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me!! Lord, Please Give Me Strength!
You Are Being Deceived And You Know It! There Is No Man Comfortable In Sin That Is At Peace With The Holy God! You Are Playing With Fire For You Are Shacking Up With King Fraud!
I Know That You Are A Parent! Would You Give Your Child Whatever It Wants Encouraging It To Do Whatever It Pleases Including Living Wild Ignoring The Obvious Rules Of The Road Oblivious To Certain Peril Just Because Desire Is Always To Be Satisfied!?!
Of Course Not! That Would Be Very Foolish Indeed!
Dear God And Father Of Mankind, Forgive Our Foolish Ways! Please Tell Me, Then In The Name Of All That's Holy How You Can Think To Do An End-Run Around The Living God Your Father Which Is In Heaven And Get Away With It!?! The Lord Has Given Us Rules For The Road The Right Way To Live How To Be What We Can And Can't Do How To Come How To Go What To See What To Know Because We Will Be Reaping That Which We Sow!
Remember The Word:
No Man Can Stay The Hand Of God
Who Is The Righteous Judge
And
Faithful Paymaster Of Us All!
Has The Good Life
In This Happy Place That You Are Inhabiting
Caused You To Forget That
There Is No Changing Of Status
No Second Probation
And
No Do-Overs After Death
Nor After Christ Comes!?!
Uh, Ah, Umm ...!
What's Wrong!?! Have You Lost Your Mind And Your Tongue Also!?!
I, Uh, Ahmmm ...!
What's The Matter With You!?!
Come On! Speak Up!
I, I, Can't!
I'm Soooo Unhappy!
Please Help Me!
But You Just Said How Happy You
And You Were Gushing About
All The Fun You're Having
With Your New Church Family!?!
I Know ... I Lied ...!
Come And Let's Sit On The Veranda
And You Can Tell Me The Truth!
Oh, Dear!
You're Not Going To Like It!
If You Say So
But Tell Me Anyhow!
45 Minutes Hours Later ...
Bonitz, Please Listen To Me Carefully:
A Fire Too-Hot Too Fast Too Furious Always Has An Accelerant!
A Christian Too Righteous Too Religious Knowing It All In One Day And Being Too Blessed To Be Stressed Always Having The Sure
And
Perfect Words For Self And Other's Answered Prayer Also Has An Accelerant And Is Not Guaranteed To Go The Distance Because Of A Thing Called Emotionalism!
Since Salvation Is A Process - The Work Of A Lifetime - Emotionalism Is Not Going To Survive The Upward Climb Where Slow And Steady Grace And Mercy Faith And Work Obedience Defiance Of The Devil And His Pretty Works And The Slow And Steady Day By Day Plodding Is An Endurance Walk
And Not A Buggy Race For The Exertion Averse Is The Only Thing That Works!
There Is Only One God Holy!
The Other "Gods" Of The Earth Are False
And Can Never - Will Never - Be Equal To The Eternal God!
What Is Ours To Know Us Is Plainly Revealed In The Living Word ... Preserved
By The High And Holy Hand Of The Eternal God
And
Anyone Who Adds To The Word
Or Takes Away From The Word Of Almighty God
Is
By Almighty God Cursed!
Revelation 22 Makes That Clear
And
The Wisest Man In Proverbs 30:6 Makes That Abundantly Plain!
Miracles And Signs And Wonders
Are Not To Be Taken As Proof Of
Almighty God's Favor Or Approval!
Satan Has The Power To Work Miracles
To Agitate Nature
The Weather - The Book Of Job Proves That -
And
Within The Boundaries Decided By The Living God
He Can Destroy A Person's Health
Wellbeing
And
Prosperity!
Understand And Accept This ... The Lord God Cannot
Will Not
Stretch The Truth Or Tell A Lie
To Get You To Believe In Him
Or To Trust Him!
In The Economy Of God
It Is All About Faith!
You've Been ... Unwisely
Trusting In Your Lying Eyesight
And
Overwrought Emotions
And
You Have Permitted A Real Charlatan
A Wise-Acre Hustler
A True Con-Artist
To Relieve You Of A Goodly Portion Of Your Parents' Hard-Earned Money!
The Lord Had No Mansion
No Big Ride
No Servants
No Bank Account
And
He Did Not Speak With A Forked Tongue
Or Encourage His Followers
To Finance His Speculative Interests
Since He Had None!
The People Of God
Need To Be Wise As Serpents
And
Harmless As Doves!
There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God!
Do You Realize
Do You Know That There Is
Joy And Peace In Believing The Living Word
The Choice Promises Of God!?!
Do You Recognize
Do You Accept That
When You Stand Aka Believe
And
Live In The Security
The Protection Of The Word Of God
That There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause You To Fret
To Be Anxious
To Be Afraid
To Doubt
To Disbelieve
That All Things
- Good, Bad, Ugly, Painful, Hurtful, Wicked -
Work Together For The Good Of
Those Of Us Who Are The Called
According To His Purpose!?!
The Lord Is Calling You!
Are You Answering!?!
I Am Trying ...!
When We Recognize That
This Life Isn't About Our Selfish Desires
That We Are Here In Boot Camp
Preparing For A Can't-Fail Mission
Under The Leadership Of A Can't-Lose Commander
Against A Can't-Win Adversary
For The Assured Glorious Prize
Aka The Purchased Redemption
We Walk Like Winners
We Talk Like Winner
We Live Like Winners
We Live Like Overcomers
We Live Like Saints ... Blessed
Bold
Bought
Believing
Bound ... For The Promised Land!
Jesus Christ Promised
Jesus Christ Bled And Died
Jesus Christ Got Up And Rose Up
Jesus Christ Is Preparing A Place
Jesus Christ Is Interceding
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back ... For Us
Who Believe His Word
Trust His Character
Live In His Light
Keep All His Commandments
Bless Him By Blessing Others
Telling The Good News
And
Are Washing Our Clothing - Our Character -
In His Blood
Shed For Every Man!
Almighty God Is Ever Good ...
It Took A Miracle
And
It Requires Our Faith ... Believe Him
... And Live!
Trust Him At His Word ... And Obey
Because
He Helps ... And Heals!
He Saves ... And Seals!
He Leads ... And Reveals!
He Opens ... And Closes!
He Knocks
And
He Ably Protects All His Flocks
In All The Various Congregations
And
He Is Assembling Them ... Us
His Children
His Brethren
Into The One ... The Only
Safe And Secure Fold!
Hurray For Woolly Sheep ...
A Lil' Faith Goes A Long Way
And
That Lil' Faith ... Exercised
Grows Into The Unwavering Faith
That Shall See Us Safely Esconced
In The Eternal Home!
There's Always A Hairy Goat ...
A Lil' Doubt
Is
Like Active Yeast:
It Changes The Structure Of Faith
And
Belief!
It Erodes Confidence In The Glorious King
And
Robs One Of The Peace Of God
The Likes Of Which
There Is No Counterfeiting
No Faking!
Sweet Girl, You've Got Some Hard Questions To Honestly Answer!
Where Do You Stand!?!
Upon Whom Will You Henceforth Rely!?!
Are You Among The Kingdom Bound
Or
Are You Among The Wafflers
The Fence-Jockeys
The Doubters Damned
Those Flattered, Filled, And Fatted
On The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eye
The Pride Of Life
Those Who ... In The Day Of Vengeance
To The Rocks And Hills Shall
Uselessly Cry!?!
Truth Stands ...
Blessedly ... For Us All
U-Turns Are Permitted
Encouraged
In The Lives Of Those Who Finally See The Light!
Confession And Repentance Are Blessed Gifts
In The Lives Of Those Who Desire Spiritual Success!
Don't Be Among The Helpless
The Hopeless, The Hapless! Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Reigning, Ruling, Returning
And
Only Those Standing
Living And Abiding In His Love
Shall On The Wings Of The Wind
To Zion Be Riding!
Two Chambers Of The Heart! The Law Of The Lord Eternal Is Written Upon The Heart And, From Thence We Should Never Let It Depart!
Those Who Will To Follow Christ Will Follow His Direction And Seeing In Their Characters Things Objectionable Will Seek Avidly - Under The Direction Of The Holy Spirit - To Make The Necessary Corrections!
No Man Woman Child Who Truly Walks With The Lord Can Stay Unchanged In His Presence And For This Very Reason
We Seriously Need To Look
To Correct Those Things That Are Not Right
In Ourselves If We Have No Desire For The Lord In The Judgment Hour To Look Upon Us In Rejection In Abhorrence!
If You Love Me
Keep My Commandments!
Is What The Savior Says!
Take My Yoke Upon You
And Learn Of Me
For
I Will Lead You On The Path Of Truth
On The Straight And Narrow Way!
Brethren, Beloved Please Listen Unto Me ...
Truth In The Inward Parts Causes The Devil From You, To Flee So Take In The Good Word Morning Evening Noon And Night And Be Blessed With All Blessing And Blessed The Lord God Holy ... To Delight!
Please Make Every Effort
To Shun Evil Companions! Bad Language: It Must Be Disdained! Idle Gossip: Put It Away From You And Daily Invite Jesus Christ The Lord To Lord O'er You! The Direction Is Plain!
Be Not As Those Who Are Profane!
God Almighty
Is
For You! No Created Being Can Pluck You From His Hand! No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper
And No Enemy Will Over You Take Command If Jesus Christ The Righteous Is
Holding Your Trusting, Though Trembling, Hand!
Fear Not! Fear Not!Fear Not! Is The Lord's Oft Repeated Refrain!
Please Take It To Heart! Raise Up The Banner!
And Sing The Songs Of Zion!
Let Your Soul Be Christ's To Command!
Jesus Christ Is The Rock The Shepherd Of Rest And Judah's Conquering Lion
