Contagion Control Was The Word The Order Of The Living Way
And
Social Distancing Was Perfectly Appropriate
Because
It Was A
"Thus Saith The Lord!"
We Are Christians Called To Obey The Living Word
Whether It Inconveniences Us Or Not!
We Are To Be Obedient Sheep And
Not A Part Of The Own-Way Goat Herd
So Let Us Do The Right Thing
Honor The Name Of God
And
Care For Your Fellowman
And
Stop Being A Child Of The Devil
Because
"You Want To Do You!"
Do Right ...
Do Good
Because It Is Right!
Do Right
Because It Is Good!
Do L.O.U.D!
L isten Attentively To The Health Advisories
O bey As You Are Charged
U nderstand The Proffered Instructions, And
D O All To Keep Self And Others Safe
Let Me Make It Really Plain:
As Long As What You Are Being Asked To Do
Does Not Require You To Break The Ten Commandments Of The True And Living God
Jesus Christ The Lord
The Eternal One
Our King ... The Righteous Judge
See To It That You Obey The Rules!
Remember ...
You Did Not Make Yourself And
You Are Required To Love Your Fellowman
Just As You Love Yourself!
Your Are To Reach Out To Your Brethren
And
You Are To Reach Up To Almighty God!
Disobedience Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft
And
No One Who Practices Witchcraft ... Disobedience - Willful Disobedience -
The Gospel According To Satan ... Our Adversary - The Adversary Of Our Souls -
Shall Enter Kingdom Of The Ever-Living God!
No Man Lives Unto Himself ...
We Do Not Display Wisdom ... Nor Trust Nor Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life
By Employing Rank Folly To Appear Pure, Holy And Wise In The Public Sphere
And
All Those Employing Psalm 91 To Indulge Disobedience
Need To Observe That The Word Therein Says:
The Plague Shall Not Come Near Your Dwelling Place ... Your Place Of Abode, Your Residence Because You Make Jesus Christ Your Everlasting Portion By Abiding In His Word Operating According To His Will And Walking In His Way In All That You Do And Say In Every Aspect Of Your Life That You Model Before Angels And Your Fellowman! Brethren, Beloved
Death
And
The Plague Of Disease
Know No Favorites!
Many Of Us Who Are Naming The Name Of Christ Jesus Are Indulging In The Sin Of Presumption Daring The Lord To Prove Himself Mighty! The Lord Is Mighty And He Doesn't Need To Prove Anything To Us
And
He Has Nothing To Prove To Us! The Lord God Almighty Provided Rules To Preserve, Protect, Guide And Lift Us Up And The Society Of Man Has Rules For Like Reasons To Keep Us Healthy To Protect Us From Ourselves To Save Us From The Wickedness Of Others And To Stay Us From Descending Into Chaos!
See E. G. White Desire Of Ages Commentary On Leviticus 13:2, 3
"By the ritual law, the leper was pronounced unclean. Like one already dead, he was shut out from the habitations of men. Whatever he touched was unclean. The air was polluted by his breath. One who was suspected of having the disease must present himself to the priests, who were to examine and decide his case. If pronounced a leper, he was isolated from his family, cut off from the congregation of Israel, and was doomed to associate with those only who were similarly afflicted. {DA 262}"
And
Also See E.G. White Desire Of Ages Commentary On Leviticus 13:44-46
"Away from his friends and his kindred, the leper must bear the curse of his malady. He was obliged to publish his own calamity, to rend his garments, and sound the alarm, warning all to flee from his contaminating presence. The cry, "Unclean! unclean!" coming in mournful tones from the lonely exile, was a signal heard with fear and abhorrence. {DA 262}"
Thought For The Week Ahead:
Our Loving Heavenly Father Cares For Each And Everyone Of Us Personally Without Preference Or Exception So Let Us In This Time Of Turmoil Remember The Good, The Great, Shepherd Who Leads Us Into Green Pastures For Good Eats And Sweet Rest And Alongside Still Waters To Quench Our Raging Thirst And Restores Our Souls As He Leads Us In The Paths Of Righteousness For His Own Name's Sake! I Implore Us All To Dare To Trust The Lord Our God Who Sacrificially Cares For Us And To Believe The Living Word! Please Confidently Look Up To Jesus Christ The Author And Finisher Of Our Holy Faith And Take His Holy, Helping Hand And Truly Enjoy Abundant Living: He Has Told Us To Pray And To Not Be Careful Aka Anxious ... For Anything! His Bright Glory Awaits The Enduring Faithful! May His Perfect Peace Be Yours Now And Forevermore!
I Was Walking To Nowhere, Real Fast And Supremely Pleased About It Until ...!
Until He
Giving The Heads Up ... Showing Grace You Know ... Unmerited Favor Stopped Me On The Way And Said:
Dead End Up Ahead!
Do A U-Turn
And
Go Right
To Where The Obedient Sheep
Are Graciously Fed!
This Notice From The Good Shepherd Was, To Say The Least, Unexpected Because Perhaps, Unconsciously Unconsciously I Avoided That Particular Shepherd Because He Had The Way ... By Reputation - In Truth And In Fact - Of Making One Smell One's Self And, Thereby Acknowledging The Stench Of Personal Sin Acknowledging That One Was In A Mortal Strife Acknowledging That The Sin-Life Was Not Nice Acknowledging That Sin, Itself, Was A Satanic Device Acknowledging That The Only Way To Eternal Life Was Through The Lord Jesus Christ Acknowledging That Salvation Was Life And Acknowledging That For One To Get Out From Under Sin One Needed Christ To Use His "Knife" - His Innocent Blood Red - That Washes The Sinner Clean Making His Sin Known Scarlet To Be As White As Snow His Sin Known Crimson To Be As Wool!
Oh, Yes! I Knew Of The Good Shepherd But ... Previous To NowI Had Had No Real Need - No Over-Arching Desire - To Get To Personally Know Him!
Until Now ...!
I Was In A Bind A Pickle Between A Rock And A Hard Place Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea! I Was On A Rotten Limb Over A Shark Tank! I Was Living In A What Could Only Be
Euphemistically Called A House Because The Roof Had Windows The Floor Had Doors And The Sides Were Made Of Crackled
And Pocked-Marked Glass And It All Stood On Sinking Sand Far, Far, Far From Rock Solid Ground Out Of Ear-Shot Of Fair-Weather Friend Friend With Benefits And Family Always Needing Finance But Not Far From The Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother The Good Shepherd - That Good Shepherd - Who Always, Always, Always Seemed To Appear Whenever I Had Indulged In One Of My Cock-Ups And, As UsualWas Now Saying Lovingly Saying:
Please Give Me Your Burden!
Give Me Your Hand!
Follow My Direction
And You Shall Arrive Safely
In Beulah, The Beautiful Land!
I Looked Up! I Saw Light! I Was Tired Bone-Weary Dispispirited Distressed And I Was Finally Ready To Fail At Sinning And To Take The Way To Live-Way To Life Test!
I Swallowed My Vaunted Pride! I Acknowledged My Fair Shame! I Untied My Gross Back-Pack Of Sin And I Gave It All To Him Who Carries The Burden For All Who His Holy Name Claim!
I Cried Out! I Laughed! I Sang! I Lifted Up Unweighted No Longer Weary Arms And I Reached For The Hands Reaching For Me And I Triumphantly Praised The Only One Perfect The One God Holy!
I Had Been Blind But I Plainly Now See That Satan Is The Liar And That Jesus Christ The Righteous Sets Fallen Man Free!
But, Then ...
I Asked That Question:
Why Did It Take So Long!?!
Said He:
You Were Not Ready!
You Needed To Want To Be Saved!
You Needed To Desire To Be Blessed!
You Had To See Your Condition
In Its True Light
And
Of Your Own Free Will
Call Upon God Almighty
To Get You Out Of The Dark Night
Where You Had Adjusted
To Being Able To See
Without Perceptible Light!
It Is Only When Your Corrupted Sight
Cuttingly Challenged
Convicted Of Darkness
And
Convinced That There Is True Light
Is Begging For Pure Light
That The Light Of Life Is Welcomed
And
You Become Willing To Walk By Faith
And
Not By Lying Eyesight
As Encouraged
By Your Deceitful Man's Heart!
You Removed The Scales! You Unstopped My Ears! Would You Please Now Shod My Feet To Go Share The Gospel, The Truth So That My Joy May Be Complete!?!
Take A Moment
And Rest A While
And Learn From Me
All You Can About Me
And Soon You Will Don
Your Helmet Of Salvation
Your Breastplate Of Righteousness
Your Belt Of Truth
Your Sword Of The Spirit
- The Word Of God -
Your Shield Of Faith
And
In Daily Communion
- Praying Without Ceasing -
With The Throne Of Grace
Go Off To Tell Others
That Jesus Christ Alone Saves!
**--**--**--**
Brethren,Believe It Or Not We Have To See To Be Able To See That We Need Him Who Provides For Our Real Needs!
Many See But Are Blind! Many Are The Blind Who See! Would That We All Will Humble Ourselves Getting Off Of Our Pedestals Whereon We Placed Our Selves As Gods High Lifted Up Mighty Unable To Save But Looking Pretty ... On Grandly Decorated Shelves!
Please Do Not Wait Too Long To Humble Self To Set Dear-Self Aside Or The Day Shall Come - When You Least Expect It - When You Shall Embark On The Bark That Departs For The Last The Only Soul Damnation Destruction One-Way Can't-Return-From Ride On The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire Set As Sin, Sinner, Satan
Death, Hell And The Grave's Everlasting Consuming Pyre!
