COMMITTED TO CHRIST: The "As For Me ..." Moment

Every Committed Christian Has An "As For Me!" Moment 
When Against The Backdrop Of 
Common Sense, Temporal Prosperity
Familial Opposition
And 
Occupational Security 
They Will Say With The Conviction Of Working Faith
And 
Concrete Trust: 

"The Lord Is My Shepherd

My Portion, My Peace! 

I Will Walk In His Ways! 

Whatever Befalls Me

I Shall Ever Give Him

My True And Heartfelt Praise! 

I Do Not Pray To A False God! 

I Pray To The King Of Kings! 

I Lean On The God Eternal 

And

It Is By His Grace Available

His Mercy Free

That I Choose His Blessed Way

Through This Life 

To Enduringly Go Walking!" 

Beloved, 

I Pray For Us Strength For Our Journey
And 
Courage For The Way On Which We Must Travel! 

Only The Lord Christ 
Can Cause Us To Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home 
So Choose To Behold Him Now ... In His Word
And
Be Satisfied With His Provision And Protection Now 
And
Having Declared Your Commitment To Him And His Cause
Embrace His Righteousness 
Through His Daily Gift To You Of Faith For The Day
Whilst Being Ever Obedient To Live Companionably With Truth 
And
Know Of A Surety That You Shall Rise Up 
To Go Up To His Glory 
Bearing His Likeness In Your Then-Glorified Body! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Stand Up For The Lord Jesus
Even If It Means That
You Stand Alone For Him! 
His Great Glory Awaits His Faithful Children!

Point To Ponder:

To Smell The Wonderful Scent Of The Beautiful Rose
One Risks Being Stung By A Honey Bee
Nestled In Its Velvety-Soft Folds!

To Cut And Possess One Fragrant And Beautiful Bloom
One Risks Being Scratched By Or Hooked Upon A Thorn:
We Take The Risk ... For The Known Reward!

There Is Risk With A Rose:
There Is No Risk Involved In Trusting The Lord Jesus!

The Lord Tells Us In His Word
What He Has Done For Us!
What He Is Doing For Us
And
What He Will Be Doing For Us!

We Have Full Disclosure
And
The Guarantee Of Performance
Is
Written With Innocent Blood
So That We May Safely Walk Courageously
Encouraged By The Faith That He Daily Gives Us
Until The Great Day Dawns
And
Our Tested Mortal Faith Becomes Approved Immortal Eyesight!

Faith In Jesus Christ

Is

Its Own Reward!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Lord Of Life, Who Died And Still Lives, Can't Lie!

Under Biblical Jurisprudence
The Holy Law Of Wisdom
The Transgressor ... Sinful Man
Is
Transformed By The Lord Of Life
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth!

The Lord Jesus Christ Changes Our Form

Our Appearance

And

Our Character ... Thoroughly

To The Point That What Was

No Longer Is

And 

What Now Is Shall Become 
What Jesus Christ Presently Is

When We Shall Behold Him! 

We Shall Be Like Him! 

Our God, Holy And Faithful
Gives Us Hope ... For Heaven! 

Now, Under The Fallible Wisdom Of Illuminated Man

We Have The Brand, The Corruptions, Of The Snake:
Transubstantiation, Transsexualism, And Transhumanism!

Man Puts Icing On Ginger-Bread! 

Man Covers God's Beauty And Man's Blight With Masks
And 

Thinking To Be God
Man As God Indulges Folly And Fabrication

Trying To Make Man More ... Better

Than What His Only Creator Determined

And

Man's "Science Project" Concludes With Fire And Brimstone!

Illuminated Man ... Whose Mind Is Darkened By Sin
Gives His Fellowman The Surety Of 
The Blackness Of Darkness

And

His Presumptuous Posturings
Lead To The Burning Hell That Will Ultimately 
Consume All Who, By Personal Choice, Shall Enter There! 

These, Brethren, Are Our Two Camps! 

One Is Salvation

And

The Other Is Sin! 

Understand This ... 

Sin 
Is 
The Transgression Of The Unchangeable Law Of 
Almighty God Who Created Us All!

Iniquity Is Planned Sin!

Planned Sin Is Presumption
And

Presumption Upon The Grace Of Almighty God Is Sin!

All Lawlessness Is Sin!

Sin Defiles The Proud Doer!

Pride Leads To Greed!

Pride Is A Sin! 

Greed Leads To Hatred!

Greed Is A Sin!

Hatred Leads To Murder!

Hatred Is A Sin!

Murder Is A Sin!

Sin Leads To Death!

Death Is The Wage Paid To All Mankind For Sin!

The Cost To Redeem Man From His Earned Paycheck

Is
The Shedding Of Innocent Blood!

The Only Innocent Blood In All Of Creation 

Is
The Blood Of The Son Of God

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Lord, God, King, Judge

And

One True And Faithful Friend! 

Brethren, 

What I Say To One

I Say To Us All:

Trust Jesus Christ ... And Believe All Of His Word

Because 

The Lord Who Gives Life ... Who Sustains Life

Who Is Preparing Places For Us

To Enjoy His Eternal Life

Cannot Lie ... Cannot Fail

And

Shall Soon Reappear! 

It's Not An Easy Road ...

Jesus Christ Said That

Sorrow Comes
But
Joy Comes In The Morning
And
As Long We Have Have Breath
Day Will Follow Night

Summer Will Follow Spring!
And

Harvest-Time Will Follow Sowing! 

The Beauty Of The Lord Follows The Blight Of Our Sin
And
Glory Be To Jesus
We Who Shall Remain In The Word
Being Enduringy Faithful To Journey's End
Or He Shall Come For Us
Shall Have ... In The Time Of His Appointing
Our Holy Harvest Celebration! 

Beloved,
Our Lord Declares That 
Neither Sin Nor Sinners Shall Eternally Prosper
And
Don't You Ever Forget It 
No Matter How It Looks ... Now
Or How The Unrepentant Sinner Behaves ... Here!
We Have The Book On It!

All Those Who Think That The Prosperity Of The Wicked 

Is 

Something To Envy 

Should Take Careful Note Of The Word "Surely" 

In Relation To Living ... For Jesus Christ ... In Godly Fear! 

Jesus Christ The Creator ... Almighty God

Told Adam And Eve That They Would Surely Die 

In The Day 

That They Disobeyed His Word

And 

They Did! 

A Thousand Years 
Is
As A Day To The Lord 

And 

The Record Clearly States That
Adam Did Not Survive The Day: He Died At 930 Years! 

Our God Keeps His Promises 
So Despite The Aggravations And The Aggressions
The Persecutions, The Prosecutions
The Lies, The Deceits And The Disappointments
Let's "Let" The Evil Doers Have Their Moment

Because

We, Faithful, Have Eternity ... Promised In Blood

To Look Forward To! 

Be Faithful Unto Death

And 

Live ... Again ... To Wear The Crown Of Everlasting Life: 
You Shall Surely Live In The House Of The Lord ... Forever! 

Remember, Beloved

Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace Be Upon You

Because

The Lord Christ Who Gives It
Is 
Our Good Shepherd! 

Wash In The Blood

Read The Book

And

Living In Holy Faith

Stand On The Holy Word

That Is

The Eternal Truth!

HAPPY SABBATH + Discovering Faith's Real Value!

The Devil Is The Liar!

His Words Are Truth Reversed

And

All Who Follow Him Foolishly

Shall Ride

In Damnation's One-Way-To-Hell Hearse! 

Believers In Jesus

Are

Eternally Blessed

And

Never, Ever, Cursed!

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

I Have Made A Discovery!
Faith ... Christ's Daily Gift To Us
Is
The Balm
That We May Apply To Our Day
- According To Our Need -
No Matter What The Devil
That Lying Satan, Says!

Some Of Us May Need Or Require A Little Dab
A Dot, A Dash ... You Know, A Tittle
But
As Is To Be Expected
Of A Life Lived In The Vale Of Tears
A Liberal Application
May Be Required To Successfully Attain Our Goal!

Use Jesus' Gift As You Must 

To Save Your Own Soul!

Call!
Cry!
Pray!
Plead!

Lean On Almighty God's Love

And
Reason With Your Maker
And
On The Living Word Feed
Doing All That He Asks Of You!

Faith Is Living Seed!

The Truth Is Sacred ...

Suggestions Are Not Something

That The Lord Ever Makes

So Do As You Are Instructed

Invited ... Encouraged

Pled With To Willingly Do
And
You Shall Have Sowers Of Blessings
That Ripen You For The Saved-Soul Harvest!

Do Not Do Yourself The Lost-Cause Disservice!

Every Party Comes To An End ...

Do Not Be Left In Outer Darkness
Because
You Followed The Folly Of
The Fulminating Snake

Who Would Love To Strike You In The Heart

With His Fangs As Stakes!

You Know What You've Got ...

Be Not Wise In Your Own Eyes!

With Faith Ever At The Ready
Accessible

Always In The-Love-For-Christ Heart
You Shall Surely Taste Of Spiritual Success
And
The Life You Live
Will Always Be Blessed Of Heaven
But

Not Necessarily Of The Earth
Whereon We're Just Passing Through
So Do Not Upon Temporal Prosperity Dwell
Or You Shall Find Out Too Late That Heaven
- The Haven Of Rest -
Shall Be The Realm ... Barred
Permanently To You!

All Of God's Gifts Are Good ...

Faith Is A Blessing!
Faith Is A Balm!
Faith Is A Blessing Balm In The Hand Of
The Regenerated Child Of God 

Daily Delivered

And

Daily ... Moment By Moment Applied
By The Hand Of The Receiver Only
For The Receiver's Benefit Solely!

All Of God's Gifts Work ...

Firm Faith Fills!
Firm Faith Thrills!
Firm Faith Utilized

Is 

The Only Way 

Old Satan's Venom Against Us 

Can Ever Be Killed!

Warning, Warning, Warning ...

Please Do Not Set Aside Your Gift Of Faith
Because

If You Do
You Shall Old Satam
Inordinately Thrill! 

Use Your Faith
And
Be To Old Satan
An Ever-New, Always-Sharp

Constantly-Performing Buzz-Kill!

Brethren,

Of Your Gift Of Daily Faith
Ravenously Imbibe
And
Be Gloriously Blessed And Filled

And

Let The Lord Christ Over You 

Be Lovingly Thrilled!

There Is No Profit

In Living To Be Carnal!

Give To The Lord Christ

Your Way And Your Will:

The Return On Your Investment

Is

And

Shall Be

Infinite And Eternal!

Rich Toward ... Self!?! PRAYER: Lord, Please Generate In Me, The Giving Spirit!

Simonette Sugam Was Rich, Rich, Rich
And
Bad-Minded Beyond Belief!
She Had Houses And Lands
And
Big-Able Barns Full To Brim
And
Overflowing
And
Believe It Or Not
That Enormously Greedy
And
Thoroughly Selfish "Sister" Simonette
Known Prominent Member Of
The Household Of Almighty God
- The Gracious Giver Of All Good Things -
And
Visibly Enjoying
All The Blessings Of Unmerited Favor
Just Reaped Another Amazingly Abundant Harvest!

Cha-Ching!!

What Did She Do?!

Nothing To Bless Her Brethren For Sure!

What DID She Do!

It's Too Gross To Say!

What Did SHE Do?!

It Is Unspeakably Gross!
Please Don't Make Me Say It!

Lambie, You May Want To Roll Back The Drama
Just A Notch
And Ratchet Up The Info Sharing
Just A Bit!

Okay! Okay!
Father, Give Me Strength!

Simonette Sugam Had The Spirit Of Satan!

Gracious!
That's What You Call A Jump!

How Does One Go From Just Being Pedestrian Selfish
To Having The Spirit Of Satan!?!

Rather Easily, It Appears!

The Spirit Of God In Man Says 

"Give!"
It Says To Remember 

Your Poor Widowed And Orphaned Brethren!
You've Got Goods
So Give Freely Out Of The Bounty

- Which You Have Freely Received -

And
Help Them To Daily Live!

Sounds Fair!

It Is The Blessed Way!

Well, Let Me Tell You Some Gospel Truths!
The Living God
Let's His Rain Fall
And His Sun Shine
On The Good And The Evil
The Just And The Unjust!

But ... 

That Simonette
Either Ignored The Fact 

Or Plum Forgot 

That The Lord
- By Her Hand -
Had Made Provision For The Poor
So That They Would Be Fed
Housed And Clothed

And

With This Last Great Harvest
Rendering Her Barns Filled And Overflowing
She ... Full Of Pride
And
Self Satisfaction
And
Blessing Her Self
And
Not The Holy God
Said:

I Have Abundance! 

I Have Much Goods For Many Years! 

I Shall Drink And Be Merry! 

I Shall Tear Down These Too Small Barns

And

I Shall Build Bigger Barns!

I Shall Take My Ease!

Sounds Like She Has I-Ritis!

The Eternal Blessing God Don't Like Ugly!

Oh, Dear!
This Can't End Well!

You'd Better Believe It!

Remember The Verse ...

The Fool Hath Said In His Heart
There Is No God!?!

Sure Do! Psalm 14:1 KJV

That's Simonette
Because
She Forgot
That It Is By The Creator God
That We Live And Breathe
And ... Have Our And Any Being!

I Guess You Know That ...

The Voice From Heaven
Plainly Said:

Thou Fool!

This Very Night

Thy Soul Will Be Required Of Thee

And

Whose Goods Shall All These Be?!

She Dead!?!

Dead As Nit!

She Didn't Have The Son!

In The Son Is Life!

She Wasn't Rich Toward God!
She Was Laying Up Treasure For Herself
And
She Was Doing A Devilish Work
Pleasuring Satan
Satisfying His Black Heart
And
Causing Him To Sing
Like A Well-Satisfied Juicy-Worm-Filled Lark!

Them Doings Real Dark!

Lessons Taught Must Be Learned ...

When The Lord Blesses You
You Must Not Just Bless Yourself
Because
In Your Prosperity
You Have An Opportunity
To Be Almighty God's Almoner
Almighty God's Good And Faithful Steward
To Give A Good Gift To The Deserving Other
To - Of Yourself - Give Almighty God A Gift

And, Again 

To Be By Almighty God Abundantly Blessed!

Be Ye Warned ...

Hoarded Resources Curse The Hoarder
No Matter How Blessed They

- On The Surface To All Public View -

Appear
For
What You Hoard On Earth
Can't Go
Can't Get You Into Heaven
Because
By Your Own Hand
You Have Closed The Door
Finally And For Sure

Locked Down

Secure!

The Plain Truth ...

Almighty God Is Love!
Love Is Life!
Almighty God's Love To Man
Grants Us Freedom
From The Life Of Strife
Striving ... For Acquisitions
For Pride Of Place
Which Causes Us To Look Away
From Christ Jesus
And
Lands Us In The Life Of The Disgraced!

Shame!

A Real Shame!

It Is More Blessed To Give

Than To Receive!

Count The Costs, Brethren!

Count The Costs!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Thank You For The Matchless Gift

Bestowed Upon Me

From Your Eternal Love!

Please Help Me To Remember My Brethren

Be They Near

Be They Far

And

Help Me To Share With Them

Your Bountiful Gifts Of Love

Which

Though Shared

Are Never Diminished

Even If I Share Them

Loaded In A Car!

Bless You, Father!

You Are Faithful

Kind

Loving

Blessing

Holy

Forgiving

Saving

True!

Thank You, Lord!

I Love You!

Please Help Me

By Your Holy Spirit

To Daily Emulate You!

Please Generate In Me

The Giving Spirit

Is My Heart's Earnest Plea

For

It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN.
