IT IS WRITTEN: The Living Word Works!

 


You Are A Spectator In A Battle For Which You Are Not Prepared! 

You Cannot Win In A Spiritual War 
If You Don't Know Your Savior
     His Character
          What He Does
                How He Will Do It
And 
                      Your Status In Him! 

Beloved, 

Would You Go To Do Battle In A Flooded Field 
Wearing Dress Clothes
Using Ball-Room Manners
And 
Holding A Butter-Knife When Your Enemy 
Indulges Guerrilla Warfare 
And 
Isn't Afraid To Stick You With A Long Blade 
Like You're A Pig At The Back-Yard Butcher 
Who Knows Running Blood Is Ready Money!?! 

As Believers, We Are People Of The Book
Learners Of The Word
And 
Good And Faithful Stewards Standing On The Promises Of God
Living For Jesus
Led By The Holy Spirit
Influenced By Holy Angels
Ready To Hear And Obey
Despisers Of Doubt
And 
Embracers Of Enduring Faith! 

We Stand Firm On 

"God Said It! I Believe It 
And That Settles All Questions For Me!" 

How Can We Be Settled In 
And
Live On The Word Of God When We Don't Know What It Says!?! 

Jesus Christ Won In His Battle With Satan 
In The Wilderness Of Temptation 
By Wielding The Weapon Of The Word 
And 
Declaring 

"It Is Written ...!" 

He Could Do That 
Because 
He Intimately Knew The Word
And 
Understood And Accepted As Fact That 
The Living Word Works
The Living Word Wars
And 
That He Could Win His Warfare 
With The Wonderful Words Of Life! 

It Is My Prayer That 
We Will Each Come To A Saving Knowledge Of 
The Word Of God That Speaks 
Everlasting Life! 

May The Holy Spirit Touch You Mightily 
As You Lovingly Touch The Word Of Truth Today! 

Peace!

Medicine After Death!?!

 


It Is Normal To Receive Medicine When One Is Ill 
But 
Who Has Ever Heard Of Taking Medicine After Death!? 


When You Know Right
Do Right!

Beloved, 

We Have A Very Nasty Habit Of 
Afterward 
Wanting To Meticulously Do The Thing 
Which We Should Have Done 
Before 
We Were Punished For Negligence, Disobedience
And 
Presumption! 

When Will We Learn!?! 

Negligence Contains Malice! 
Disobedience Contains Willfulness 
And
Presumption Contains Pride! 

So Much For Being Innocent! 

The Lord Our God Plainly Says: 


"To Obey
Is
Better Than Sacrifice!" 


Isn't It Better To Lay Out Our Pride At The Feet Of Jesus 
In A Bold Act Of Humility 
Than To Have It Knocked Out Of Us 
As Punishment For Gross Vanity!?! 

There's The Old Expression About Taking The Horse To Water 
But 
Being Unable To Make Him Take A Drink! 

The Remainder Of That Expression States: 

But You Can Put Salt In His Mash
Aka His Food! 

Salt Makes One Thirsty 
And 
That Horse Will Run To The Water To Quench His Thirst 
Without Asking Himself WHY He Is Now Soooo Thirsty! 

We Are Not Horses! 

Think! 

Acting In Haste Results In Repentance At Leisure 
So Stop Wasting Resources On What You Can't Afford! 

Disobedience Costs
Obedience Pays
And 
Repentance Is The Longest Day Of Our Lives! 

Let Us Do All That The Lord Asks As 
And
When Required 
And 
We Will Not Be Put On The Prepared-For-Satan Funeral Pyre! 

Choose To Be Satan's F.O.E: 
Utilize Faith
                       Obedience, And 
                                   Endurance In Your Warfare! 

Use 
Faith In Almighty God
Obedience To His Will, And 
Endurance On The Walk To The Father's House Of Love! 

You Will Arrive Home Safely! 

Peace!

Sing Unto Almighty God A New Song!







No Mortal Aka Human Being 
Can Over-Rule God Almighty 
Or 
Out-Maneuver Satan! 

No Committed Christian
- Standing By Faith Through Grace 
And
With Prayer - 
Has To Worry About Satan 
And
His Deceived, Unhinged, Minions 
Doing Them A Damage: 
The Lord In Zion Reigns And Rules!

Beloved, 

We Are Instructed By The Word Of Truth That 
All Who Will Live Godly Lives In Christ Jesus 
Shall Suffer Persecution 
So, Whatever You Are Going Through
Whatever Is The Reason
Be Joyful In The Lord 
For Being Counted Worthy To Suffer 
For Your Faith In Your Creator, Savior, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend 
Who Sticks Closer To You Than Any Brother, Sister
Mother, Father Or Child Ever Can Or Will! 

Brethren, 

Remember This One Thing: 
The Gift Of Song And Praise To Our God Known-Eternal 
Is 
A Spiritual Weapon In Your Warfare 
Against Those Who Will Try To Cause You To Sin 
Against Our Lord Christ 
By Indulging In Foolish 
And
Decimating, Deadly, Devilish Doubt! 

Whatever Happens To The Child Of God 
Is 
Permitted By The Eternal God Of Grace 
So Never, Ever, Doubt That The Lord Is Able
And
Ready And Willing To Deliver You
No Matter The Cock-Ups And Miseries 
Which Apparently Dog Your Life! 

Pray ... Always! 
Sing Unto Almighty God A New Song
And
Be At Peace As You Rest In Him! 
Troubles Won't, Can't, Don't Last Forever!

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home!







No Matter What Is Visibly, Physically
Emotionally
Financially, Spiritually, Testing You, Beloved
Keep Your Eyes, Your Heart 
Your Hands 
And 
Your Hopes 
Firmly Fixed On The Lord Jesus 
Who, Alone, Knows The End From The Beginning 
And 
Is With Us At All Points In Between! 

Remember That Jesus Also Daily Gives Us The Faith 
To Have Faith In Him 
For Each Day That We Live In This Vale Of Tears 
Experiencing The Myriad Things That 
Try Our Purchased, Precious, Souls! 

Never Forget Whose Child You Are! 
Keep Uppermost In Your Thoughts 
The Destination To Which You Are Headed! 
Be Vigilant To Resist The Enemy Of Your Soul 

And

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Remind Yourself That Getting Home 
Is 
Worth Whatever We Must Pay For Our Passage 
And 
Know That That Cost Is Cheap!
 
Almighty God ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 
Gave His Best ... His All ... To Grant Us This Privilege 
So Let No Created Being
Seen Or Unseen
Known Or Unknown 
Rob You Of The Unspeakable Gift
Eternal Life In The Paradise Of God! 


Think About Going Home: 
Constantly Commune With Christ! 

**--**--**--**--**

Knowingly Experiencing
The Love Of Jesus Christ
Is
Sweet Peace
For The Longing Heart!

PRIDE: Wearing The Helmet Of Salvation


They All Attended The Banquet!
They All Were Eating The Fare
And
All Of Them Were Choking
And
It Wasn't A Game Of Truth ... Or Dare!

Pride Was On The Floor!
Pride Was On The Chair!
Pride Was On The Balcony 
And
They All Heard When Humility Declared:

Pride ... Inordinate Pride 
Goes Before The Fall
Which For You All
Is
Now Here Present!
Enjoy What You're Eating Now
For, Soon,
You Shall Surely Have No More Desire 
To Eat Liarman's Dressed Pheasant!

You Have Nothing To Boast About 
Unless Your Boast Is In The Lord Christ
Who Lived And Died
So That You May Die To Sin And Self
And
Renewed
Live Again
Nevermore To Know
What Foolish Pride Is Again! 


1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober ...



Those Who Ride Vehicles 
Which Have No Protective Cages Around Them 
Wear Helmets To Protect Their Heads 
From Traumatic, Even Fatal, Injury
Unless They Refuse To Wear Them
Because
They Are Heaven-Daring ... Presumptuously Bold
And
Too Proud To Be Wise! 

We Are Mortal ...

We Are In A Warfare 
And 
As Fragile Beings 
Coming Up Against A Malevolent Enemy 
Who Is Working Rabidly 
To Secure Our Eternal Destruction
The Lord Jesus Christ Has Paid For 
And 
Provided To All Mankind
His Can't-Fail Helmet Of Salvation!
Don't Be Contrariwise!

Beloved, 

Possessing The Helmet 
Is 
A Good Thing 
But
Believing It Works 
And
Utilizing It For Safety And Security 
Is 
The Perfect Way To Survive 
And 
Prosper In The Fight For Eternal Life!
Save Your Own Life! 

You Are Not Wrestling
With Flesh And Blood!

Let's Be Wise ...

Jesus Christ Can Save Us All 
But 
He Will Only Save Those Of Us 
Who Are Obedient To His Living Word 
Which Calls Us To His Side 
For Protection 
And 
Eternal Security! 

Please Don't Be Prideful 
And 
Decorate Your Helmet With The Badges Of The World! 

Be Humble And Obedient
Trust Your Maker
And 
Enduringly Wear Your Helmet Of Salvation 
Even If It Is Uncomfortable
Spoils Your Public Image
And 
Ruins Your Hair-Do! 

Man-Made Helmets Save Lives Which End Anyhow 
But
The Helmet Of Salvation 
Leads To Christ's Eternal Life Of Which There Is No End! 
Obey The Word ... And Sleep In Your Helmet!

HAPPY SABBATH + Do You Really Believe In Almighty God!?! + Prayer: Father, I Believe You!

If 
I Truly Believe The Lord Christ ... At His Word 
That He Will Be With Me Always
Then 
It Becomes True To My Soul That
I Can Do All Things
Approved And Blessed By Him
Because
He Strengthens Me!

If 
I Believe Jesus Christ ... At His Word
That He Is Faithful And Just
That He Will Forgive Me ... Personally
That He Will Cleanse Me ... Thoroughly
From All Unrighteousness
Then 
I Will Confess, Repent And Forsake That Sin
So That 
I Won't Do It Time And Again!

If 
I Believe Jesus Christ ... At His Word
That He Is My Shepherd
That I Shall Not Want
That He Leads Me And Feeds Me
That He Restores My Soul
Then 
I Will Confidently
Expectantly, Hopefully, Trustingly
- Godly Appetite-For-Good At-The-Ready -
Follow Him Faithfully ... Enduringly
So That
Satan And His Ilk Cannot Tempt And Ensnare Me!

If 
I Believe Jesus Christ ... At His Word
That He Is The Way
The Truth
The Light 
And 
The Life Of Every Man
Then
I, Trusting, Will Stand Up ... Firmly
And
Shine His Light ... Lovingly Reflected In Me
For All The Sinful World To See
So That
After The Source Of My Light
They, Hungering, Will Willingly Seek!





We Are In A Spiritual Warfare 
And 
Only Those Prepared 
And 
Equipped For The Battle
Trusting The Plan Of Salvation
Believing That He Who Paid Their Debt
Did, Indeed, Pay The Price
And
By So Doing 
Gloriously Overcoming Their Enemy
And 
Did, Indeed, Leave Them With Instructions
- Complete Truth As Their Battle Plan 
Assuring Them Of Their Already-Gained
Sure And Secure Victory -
Will War Against Satan And His Fallen Angels 
Like Winners
Like Heaven-Approved And Blessed Victors!

Brethren,

Let's Trust Our Commander, King Jesus!
Let's Trust His Love
Trust His Word
Stand In His Power And Might
And 
Valiantly Fight
While Claiming Our Victory Over Sin
Self, Satan, Death, The Grave 
And 
Hell! 

Let's Be Strong! 
Let's Be Very Courageous!
Let's Stand Firm In Jesus Christ's Faith
Vigorously Resisting Satan ... That Devil
So That He, Defeated, Will Flee From Us!

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Is Calling
And
Is Aiding Us Who Choose To Be Believe
And
Who Choose To Perform The Father's Will
By Trusting The Promises
And
Resting In The Efficacy Of The Innocent Sacrifice!

Remember ...

Heaven ... And Its Joys 
Awaits The Enduring Faithful
Those Who ... At The Last
Are The Victors! 


Trust And Obey
And
Don The Armor Of Almighty God
And
In Faith, Pray
And
To Glory Walk On!

**--**--**--**--**

PRAYER:

Father, 
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 
I Say With The Confidence Gleaned
From
My Acceptance Of My Daily Gift Of Faith
Which Is Employed And Working
That
I Believe You!

I Believe In You, My Father, Almighty
You Who Made Heaven And Earth
The Sea And All That Is In Them
And
Made Me And My Kind
In Your Image! 

I Trust You, Father
And
By Your Grace
I Am Following After You
In The Person Of My Jesus! 
Please Draw Me Nearer! 
I Love You!

Please, Dear Father
Have Mercy!

Please Help Me To Remain Faithful
And
Bless Me To Be A Spiritual Success
To Be A Pillar
In The House Of My God
To Be A Jewel
In The Crown Of My King
For I Pray And Plead
For The Favors
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
By Whose Leading
I Am Coming Home To Be With You!
AMEN!

WAR!

The Enemy Of The Soul
 Is Ever
On The Battle Field!



The People Of God
- Amongst Whom Were
The Fearful
The Unbelieving
The Unwilling To Face Danger
AND
The Unwilling To Face Hardship -
Were Called Upon To Wage War!

All Answering
Had Willingly Answered The Call
BUT
The Eternal God Saw That 
They Were Too Many!

Many Were Filled With Self-Pride
AND
Real Doubt
AND
Would Not To The Army Add Strength
So God Almighty 
The All-Seeing God
The All-Knowing God
The Ever-Present God
- By Trial -
Weeded Them Out!

32,000 Men Had Answered The Call
BUT
- Not Even A Tithe -
Only A Remnant
Showed Their Battle-Readiness
Their Faith
Their Vigilance
AND
Were Chosen
By The Great God Himself
To Take To The Field Of Battle
On That Momentous Day!

The Chosen 
- 300 -
Were
Men Of Faith
Men Of Courage
Men Who Did Not - In Idolatry - Bend The Knee
Men Who Did Not
In Time Of Danger
Seek After Satisfaction
For Their Personal Need!
These Were Men Who Could Be Trusted
In Any Emergency!

They Were The Faithful
The Few
The Chosen
Who Trusted In God
AND
They Were Men Of Prayer!
They Were Men Who Could Be Used
AND
Who Could Be Directed!
These Were The Ones
Who Were Set Apart!
These Men Chosen Were True Men Of Character!
For God  ...They Had The Heart!

Everyone Else Was Sent Home
For The Battle
AND
The Victory 
Were To Be God's!
God's Alone!

Each Chosen Man
Was Given A Trumpet
AND
A Torch
Hidden In A Clay Pot
AND
Truth Be Told
This Is Pertinent To Us Today ...

Man Is A Clay Pot
In Whom
- IF WILLING -
Is Found
The Light Of The Light Of Life
AND
The Trumpet Of God
AND
Those Who Are Faithful
AND
Willing To Be Used Of The Lord
Will
- Through Jesus Christ -
Break Out Of Sin
AND
Let Their Lights Shine
AND
Let Their Voices Sound The Trumpet Call Of
The Present Truth
For
This Dying World
So That Listening Men
- Harkening To The Truth -
Will Not For Their Own Sin
Have To Pay!
That Will Be The Win-Win!

These 300 Men
Were Divided Into Three Groups
Coming From Three Directions
Which ... I Shall Say
Speak For
The Father God Ever Before Us
Jesus Christ Interceding For Us
AND
The Holy Spirit
- Unseen -
Working In The Darkness
Teaching Helping Comforting Chiding Us
So That We Will Assay
To Do The Right
AND
Walk
The Straight And Narrow Way!
This Is Not Play-Play!

What Do YOU For Your Self Say?!

Brethren,
It Requires Blind-Eyed Faith
Full Surrender
AND
Willful Obedience
To Be A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord Christ!

Where Do You Stand?!
How Will YOU Stand?!
Will You Stand?!
Will You Trust In The Coming Son Of God
The Savior Of Man?!

I Beseech You
Take The Proffered Hand
Trust The Man
And  ... Valiantly Fight
For Truth
And In The Great Day
Victoriously Stand!




War Against God's Truth Is Being Waged!
Are You Geared
For The Spiritual Fight?
Will You Stand In The Breaches?
Will You Stand
Against Carnal Flesh
And ... Valiantly Fight?
