Right At The Border That We All Must Take Up Temporary Residence In!
Sounds Scary! What Town Are You Talking About!?!
Endurance! The Town Of Endurance!
Nobody Can Enter The City Of God Without Going Through The Town Of Endurance!
What's The Big Deal!?!
It's Just A Town!
Everybody Knows That There Are Lots Of Border Towns!
Just Pick The One That Suits Your Needs
And You'll Enter The City Just As You Please!?
Dear Lord, Forgive Her!
Forgive Me For What!?!
I Didn't Do Anything!
Oh, Yes, You Did!
The Lord God Almighty Says That Everybody Must Go Through Endurance
And
You Just Bluntly Told Her To Choose Her Own Way Into The Kingdom! You Are Encouraging Her To Be Disobedient!
But What's The Big Deal About How You Walk To Enter The City
As You As You Enter The City!?!
You Must Have Been A Very Own-Way Child!
No Disrespect, Sweetie
But You Obviously Lack Discipline
To Think That Almighty God Will Accept Personal Travel Itineraries From His Chosen People
Who Shall Be The Inheritors Of The Glorious Kingdom!
The Lord Of Life ... Almighty God ... Has Rules And They Must Be Upheld To The Letter:
No Sojourn In Endurance, No Entrance Into The Holy City! There Are No Concessions For Pride, Selfishness Disobedience, Doubt, Double-Mindedness Or Disbelief!
If That's The Case
Just Go And Sit Down
And When You're Ready To Move On
Just Leave!
Ahhh, Ahem! Who Did You Say It Is That You Work For!?!
I Work For Light Bearers International!
Our Chief Is Lucie F'here!
She Started The Company
And Now It's In Every Country Of The World!
Our Motto Is:
Just Tell Us Your Taste
And
We'll Assuredly Light Your Fantasy!
Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind,
Please Have Mercy And Open This Young Child's Eyes
And Illuminate The Darkened Recesses Of Her Mind! Felicity Joy! You Are Being Grossly Deceived By Whoever Is Telling You That Self Is To Be Always Satisfied That You Can Choose Your Own Way To Glory That You May Arrogantly Flaunt The Laws The Rules Of The God Of Grace And Glory Our Judge And Our King And That You Can Enter The Holy City Without Having Been Cleansed Of The Stench Of Sin Without Having To Endure The Battle ... The Struggle To Gain The Victory Over Sin Death, Hell And The Cold, Cold, Grave! A Caterpillar Becomes A Butterfly Only By Struggling Our Of His Coccoon! Sweet Girl, Let Me Tell You Something! No Cross, No Crown! No Time In The Crucible: No Polish Of Purity! We Have To Be Changed To Be Blessed! Plainly Stated, Beloved There Ain't No Short-Cut To Almighty God's Glory! It Is His Way Or No Way At All ...! ... But I Have To Get Into That City! Excuse Me!?! I Don't Believe That I Care For Your Phraseology! This Is Not A Game And The Holy City Is Not A "That City!" It Is The Throne Of The Majesty Of The Heaven And You Would Do Well To Take Inventory Of Your Motivations! You Sound Peevish And Selfish! Everybody Is Talking About The Holy City And It Sounds So Beautiful And Free And Life Is Going To Be Easy ...! ... Young Lady, Get A Grip On Yourself! Those Of Us Who Desire To Get Into The Holy City Desire To Get In To Be With The Lord Christ Who Endured All Things ... Even The Cruelest Death To Purchase For Us A Seat At The Father's Table A Home In The Father's House A New Name In Glory Access To The Tree Of Life And The Water Of The River Of Life And The Glorious Gold Crown Of The Righteous Redeemed Of Almighty God And Jesus Christ The Lord! We Love The Lord Christ And We Desire To Please Him And To Bless Him And To Honor His Holy Name And To Walk In His Holy Way! To Spend Time Successfully In Endure Is A Badge Of Honor And The Last Step Before We Enter ... Eternity! We Shall Have Immortality And We Shall Have Incorruptibility And There Shall Be No More Sin, Sorrow, Nor Suffering! We Know That We Have To Get Over In Order To Cross Over And We Are Using Our Gift Of Faith To Make The Journey Home! I'm Sorry! I've Never Had To Really Work For Anything In My Life! You May Confidently Say That ... Well Life Was Handed To Me On A Silver Platter And ... Shame To Say It Is The Same Way At Work: I Do What I Want And I Get What I Want ... No Struggle! It's The Same For All Who Are Employed There! Can You Tell Me More About This Endurance That You All Hold High With Such Loving Regard!?! I'm Really Interested! That Is Much Better! Just Remember That Christ's Salvation Involves True Faith ... And Real Work! The Lord Has Made The Way Clear And We Have To Walk In It ... No Short-Cuts! Let's Think About This Text:
Psalm 136 Has 26 Verses And The Word Endureth In Relation To The Mercy Of God Is Mentioned 26 Times! Mercy Is A Facet Of The Character Of God And We Are Assimilating The Lord's Character As We Strive For Entry Into The Living Kingdom! The Lord's Mercy Endures And We Must Endure To Secure The Crown! We Are Called To Endure All Things In Our Striving As Only Those Who Endure To The End - Be It Personal Life Or The End Of All Things - Shall Enter The Kingdom! An Endurance Meet Is Neither For The Fainthearted Nor The Over-Confident! It Is For The Prepared, The Persistent And The Prayerful Person Who Knows His God Is In A Committed Relationship With His Lord And Is Determined To Enter The City Even If Life Is Lost! He Has The Promise And The Promissor Is His Master Who Endured All Things To Save His Soul From The Second Death! Endurance Is A "Blood Sport" And We .. You ... Have To Strive For The Eternal Kingdom Win! Are You Willing!?! Yes! Yes, I Am! Will You Help Me!?! We All Will! We Are Soldiers Of The Cross! We Are Servants Of The King And We Willingly Serve Our Lord To Bless All Of Our Brethren! Thank You, Kindly!
Separate N. Peculiar People And Holy N. Peculiar Character Are Members Of The Family Of Almighty God
And
The Lord Jesus Christ! They Are Directed, Taught And Chided By The Holy Spirit Of Truth - Wisdom Self - And They Permit Themselves To Be Influenced By The Holy Angels Who Also Are Their Protectors!
They Are Roundly Hated Despised Disparaged Denigrated Dismissed And When Expedient Deep-Sixed By Him Who Has Let Go - Actually Cast Off - Heavenly Love And In Whom Is No Kindly Light Shining!
Satan And Team Tawdry Try Tenaciously To Tempt Them To Turn Away From Truth From Trusting The Godhead
And, Instead To Choose To Be Tenderly Tickled By Trifles!
The Father Of The Faithful Calls Them To Be Tested, Tried And Proved To See If They Will Endure All Things For The Master The Creator The Redeemer The Forever Friend So That They Reside Forever With Him In The Mansions Of The Blessed In The Land Where No One Grows Old Where He Who Gives Light Is He Who Is Life The Delight Of The Soul!
The Streets There Are Made Of Purest Gold And Water ... The Water Of Life Is Like Crystal! The Tree Aka The Tree Of Life Has The River Of The Water Of Life Running Through It! I Don't Know About You But I Know The Desire To Want To Drink From It!
Don't Just Pray For Pardon For Sin! Pray For Purity Of Heart! Pray The Promises Of The Living God AND Ask For The Indwelling Of God's Holy Spirit! He Is Faithful! He Will To Your Soul Impart!
Why Be Forgiven Of Sin ... Today AND Look To Sin Today Tomorrow?! Ask For The Peace That Passes Understanding
AND For The Repair Of The Soul AND Trust In The Word Of God That Leaf From The Tree Of Life AND By God's Grace Make Heaven Your Soul's Sole Goal! Get Off The Shoals Of Life AND Walk To The Rock To Be Broken! Be Bold!
Let Christ ... The Answer Answer Your Call! Let Him Be Your Sin-Bearer! He's Already Paid For You To Be Saved
For God The Father Laid The Sin-Burden Of Us All Upon Him
AND Only He Can Negate The Effects Of The Fall!
Know This Of A Surety ...
One Day Soon Jesus Christ, Triumphant Is Returning To This Blue Ball AND Only Those For Whom He Is Savior Lord God King And High Priest Installed Shall Rise Up When He Calls AND Go Up To Glorious Heaven Where Is Prepared A Banquet For The Blessed Redeemed One And All!
I Tell You The Truth ...
A Pure Heart Is A Thing Of Beauty An Item Most Precious AND Only Those Who Possess This Heart Shall See The Everlasting Father The Prince Of Peace The Conquering King In Peace AND Shall Possess The Kingdom Of Light AND Hear The Courts Of Heaven Ring To Their Eternal Delight In The Land Of No Night!
Sweetie, The Only Being That Has To Love You IS Jesus Christ AND HE Doesn't "Have" To Love You! HE Created You AND HE LOVES YOU... To Death!
Jesus Christ's Love Does Not Fail! His Heart Cannot Turn Cold AND His Desire For Your Heart Does Not Wane Because He Loves Your Very Soul!
Your Breath Is From His Breath Of Life! Without His Life We Will Have None! Without His Watch-Care His Heart Longing
For The Salvation Of Fallen Man We Could Not Would Not Exist! Not One Single Man!
But I Want Everybody To Love ME! I Need To Feel Special! This Would Make Everything In My Life Just Right AND Everybody Will Find Me A Perfect Delight!
