TAKE TRUTH TO HEART: Jesus Christ's EFTs!

When Someone Wants To Force Your Hand

Wants To Bend You To Their Will

They Use Provocation And Enticement 

Two "Candies" From Satan's Buffet Of 

Cheap Thrills Aka Nasty Nuggets!

Beloved, 

The Lord Christ ... Our Creator-Savior

Has No Need For Bully-Boy Tactics! 

He Gives To His People EFT's 

Aka Encouragement, Faith, And Testaments 

As Proof That He Has No Need To Grease Your Wheel! 

This Is You, Your Cart, Your Path! 

This Is Your Lord, The First And The Last! 

This Is The Road Which Was Before You Were! 

This Is His Will And His Way: 

Do You With Him Concur!?! 

Everything That You Need To Know 

And 

To Become A Spiritual Success

Is

Open To All 

And

Fully On Display 

And

There Is Free-Will 

And 

Freedom To Choose To Walk With The Lord 

Or 

To Go Your Own Way! 

Many Have Gone Before Us

And 

Many Here Remain 

Who Will, With Honesty, Testify That 

Living For Jesus 

Is Not 

A Life That Is Lived In Vain! 

Please Choose This Day To Lift Up Your Head 

And 

Let Your Heart Be Holy Spirit-Led 

And 

Let From Your Person Be Removed The Stain 

That Causes One To The Devil To Be Chained! 

The Devil 

Is 

The Father Of Lies! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Lord Of Love And Life! 

Enticement And Provocation Are Not Nice 

So Choose, By Saving Grace, Jesus Christ's EFT's 

And 

Live To Enter ... By Right

The Great Reward

At The End Of The Overcoming-Sin Fight! 

Brethren, Beloved

Walk In The Light!

Peace!

The Garden Of Graces: Way Of Life Decisions!

I Sowed Seeds Of Kindness
Love And Tenderness
And
Wonderfully They Grew!
I Also Thoughtlessly Sowed Seeds Of 

Bitterness
Hate And Envy, Too
And
Would You But Know It
Bitterness Hate And Envy
Grew Gargantuan Large
And
Sought To Boldly Strangle
My Cherished Kindness Love And Tenderness
And
Realizing Its Error

My Poor Heart Was Aghast!

I Despised Bitterness!
I Hated Hate!
I Deplored Envy
And
These Three I Sought To Obviate
Because
Left Unchecked
Or Simply Ignored
They Act Like Hungry Climbers
Seeking A Mountain Top
So I Had To Find Their Roots
And
Give Them The Malicious Chop!

Bitterness Was Downright Dodgy!
Hate With Hat Tricks Has Sought Often
To Trip Me Up
And
Envy
With Its Electric Persona
Had Expressed Fulminating Desire
To Cook Fry Broil
Burn Me Up!

I Was In A Quandary!
I Was A Straight Betwixt Two!
I Was Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
And I Knew ... Then
That Only Jesus Christ Could Would Save Me!

The Question Must Be Asked ...

Would I Of Necessity And Heartfelt Love

Willingly Bend To The Higher Power
Or
Would I Lie Down With The Enemy!?!
Would I Fall On The Rock Of My Salvation
And
Be Broken
To Be Forever Saved
Or
Would I Cultivate Damnable Pride
And
End Up Being ... To Known Sin
A Marked For Eternal Death Slave!?!

Woe Is Me!

Decisions!
Decisions!
Way Of Life Decision Collisions! 

I Saw The Light ...

Desire To Live With The Almighty God

Forever

In Perfect Peace
Made The Only Decision Left For Desperate Me:

Come Into My Life, Lord Jesus!

I Surrender The Old Man To Thee! 

Come Into My Life, Lord Jesus

And

Cause The Devil's Known Henchmen To Flee!

I Prostrated My Self
My Heart
My Will
My Way
My Body
My Soul
My Spirit
Before The God Of All Grace
My Savior
My Redeemer
And
Pleaded For Relief
To Get Rid Of The Roaring Raging Schemer!

There Was The Battle Royale
The Grudge Match
The Winner Take All Play-Off

And
The Cage Match
I Thought I Was Sunk
Until
I Gladly Remembered
Who Died To Save Me

And
Who Was Interceding For Me

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
I Surrendered ... Completely!

There Was To Be No Mrs. Lot Look-Back Action From Me
And
That Is When I Saw
My Victory Over Sin In Christ Jesus
And
Bitterness Hate And Envy
From My Garden Of Graces
Had To, Had To, Flee!

I. Was. Free.

Thank You, Very Much!

From Then On ...

I Meticulously Prayerfully Tended
My Fruit Of The Spirit!
Everything Planted There Was Meticulously Observed
And 

I Meticulously Followed The Directions
Given Me By My Master
My Lord And My God
And
From Then
Under The Prompting Of 

The Holy Spirit Of The Living God
I Walk Holy
Because, BecauseI Am Striving For The Promised Glory
And
The Untold Blessings
Awaiting The People Of 

The God Who Is Truth And Righteousness
In The Great Reward!

I, By Almighty God's Great Grace

Am D.O.N.E. Finished

With The Ways Of 

The Damned-For-All-Eternity Fraud!

Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Praise God!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!

Self Is A Sinner!

On A Day Called Questionable
Cutting Truth
AND
Pleasing Fable
Stood Face To Face
Across The Lord's Supper Table
Each Defiant
Each Direct
With The Congregation Not Knowing What To Expect!

Cutting Truth
- In A Strong Tearful Honest Voice -
Encouraged The Congregation
In The Sacrifice Of Christ To Rejoice
For
The Blood
Once Spilled
Buys Pardon For All Who
Lay Down Sin
Pick Up Their Cross
AND
Daily Eat Their Fill
Of A King James Preserved
"Doth Saith The Lord!"
God's Holy Word
Uncorrupted By Evil Men And Women
True!

Pleasing Fable
- Not To Be Outdone -
Took Up Alexandrian Philosophy
Man-made Church Policy
AND
Leading Men's Educational Corrections To Holy Writ
For A Cheer-filled Soliloquy!
He Bobbed!
He Weaved!
He Impugned God's Word
AND
Went For A
"Do As I Please!"
AND
The Church Was Divided
With Hardly Any Souls
Willing
To Glory
In The Finished Work Of The Lord!

If The Veil Could Have Been Removed
Those Laodiceans Would Have Seen:

Self Satisfaction
Glorious Inaction
No Pleasure N. Restraint
Sinning S. Fun
Shoot-down D. Bible
AND
Lovely Rum
Were Working Adroitly
Slipping The Arrogant
Man-Is-god-Believing Crowd
High Priced Bromide
Instigating Rebellion
Prodding The Willful
Away From The Heavenly Guide!

The Cause Of The Ruckus?
Who Needs To Jesus Flee
When Self Awareness
Lifts Up Everybody!
Just Do What You Will
Just Don't Harm Another Soul
For Sin Death Hell
Confession And Repentance
Are Concepts Grown Cold!

If Eyes Could Be Opened
On The Side Of God's Faithful
Those Pleading With Brethren To Fear
God
AND
His Commandments Keep
To Let Him Our Burdens Bear Against The Fraudulent Creep
Those Believers Would See
Angels Of God
Doing Battle
Preserving God's Saints
Against Those Weavers Of Black Darkness
Of The Army Of The Degrading Lord Fraud!

The High-Minded Departed
In High Dungeon
AND
In Complete Disarray!

The Faithful Of God
In Humility Of Soul
Held Hands Together
AND
Prayed!
They Sighed
AND
They Cried
AND
Lifted Up God
AND
Yearned
Dearly Yearned
For
Their Blessing
In The Great Day Of Reward!

They Confessed
Their Own Sins
AND
The Sins Of The World
AND
The Numerous Sins Of The Church
Knowing
That Judgment
Begins First
In The House Of The Lord!

AND ...

When All Was Completed
They Sought Counsel Of The Lord
AND
With Prayerful
Humble
Teachable Spirits
They Delved Into His Word!

They Approached God's Word
Where Great Treasure Is Hid!
They Sought It With All Diligence
AND
They Asked God To Remove Self
AND
In Compassion He Did!

They Lifted Up Jesus
The Light Of Their World
AND
God
With True Blessing
Did To Their Humble Hearts
Heaven's Glories
Bestir!

They Ate Drank Of The Symbols!
They Did Not Remake
Nor Eat God!
They Lifted Up The Master
AND
Gave All Glory To The Risen Lord!

Renewed
They Departed The Sanctuary
Built By Human Hands
Looking Forward To That Day
When They Would Enter The Temple Raised Up
By The Holy God's Hands
In The Land Uncorrupted
God's Glorious Land!

When The Soul In Worship

Is Before God

Self Must Die!

*********

To Uphold Self Is To Denigrate God!

*********

When Self Is An Active Party

In The Soul's Salvation

There Is No Shield From Delusion!

*********

Man-Approved-gods Are Idols!

*********

To A True Christian

Self And Sacrifice

Make A Compound Word!

*********

Salvation Over Sin Is The Saint's Refrain!

PRAYER: Sacrificial Lambs

Father, we have no money nor connections!
We can't build no underground lair!
We are #SimpleBelievers
Who need protection, Lord
From the minions of the Prince of the Power Of The Air!

Father, we love and we trust You!
We know that You will always provide!
Have mercy on us - we are praying
Let us in You safely abide!

We do not count our lives great trophies!
We are counted daily as Sacrificial Lambs
Keep record of our tears, and our blood, Lord
And accept us to The Great Reward!

Until then, Lord, we will keep praying and plodding!
We will work in the vineyards and the fields!
We will sing of the #GoodShipofZion
And worship You, Lord!
Bless us! We are down on our knees!
