21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
He Had His Foot On The Brake
And
I Had My Foot On The Gas
And
It Didn't Take Rocket Science For Me To Realize That
I Was Going Nowhere Real Fast!
Very Soon I Was Glad
For It Became Evident That Without His Asked-For Intervention
I Would Have Been Wearing, At The Very Least
A Personalized Body-Cast!
Thank You, Lord Jesus, For The Save, For The Love!
Time Changed!
I Had Had My Foot On The Brake
But
He Escorted My Foot To The Gas
And
I Soon Came To Realize That
I Was The One Who Had Asked, Again
For His Intervention, Again
And
Had Harkened Aka Listened To And Done What He Had Asked
Which Was "Be Very Courageous: Press On To Victory!"
Brethren, Beloved,
How Often Have We Acted Craven Aka Cowardly
When The Plain Voice Of The Eternal God Said:
"Be Brave! I AM With You!?!"
How Often Have We Lion-Heartedly Roared
And
Enthusiastically Run Into Inevitable Disaster
When The Good Lord Had Said: "Stand Still!?!"
Are You Seeing The Pattern!?!
The Lord Said: "Stop!" AND We Went!
The Lord Said: "Go!" AND We Planted Our Feet In Quikrete Mortar Mix
And
Became Statues Of Willful Disobedience!
Dear Ones,
Be Very, Very, Careful!
The Lord Jesus Made It Plain When He Said That
Our Obedience Is The Mark Of Our Love For Him!
Plainly Put,
Love Is Demonstrated!
It Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism!
Beloved,
Look Around!
We Don't Naturally STOP At GO Signs
And
We Don't Naturally GO At STOP Signs:
Consequences Apply!
Let's Think On These Things
And
Pray For The ... Our ... Good Lord To Help Us
To Do As He Commands
No Matter The Earthly Cost
Because
Heaven With Our Blessed Lord Jesus Awaits ... For Love Demonstrated!
Do You All Remember When We Were Small Knee-High To A Grasshopper And Mama Used To Tell Us: "Don't Do That Thing Because ... And If You Fall And Hurt Yourself I'm Going To Spank You ... And If You Cry After Disobeying Me And Falling And Hurting Yourself I Am Going To Spank You ...! ... And She Did! Did She Ever! I Remember That The Punishment Felt Worst Than The Actual Disobedience ...!
Didn't You Ever Wonder ... After We Grew Up Where She Got That Idea From!?! I Sure Did! It Was Brutal And It Was Effective And We All Learnt Never To Disobey Her Again! Well, Today Is Our Lucky Day! We Are Going To See The Road-Map That Mama Followed! Listen To This!
These Words Are Amongst Some Of The Most Frightening Statements Uttered Against Humans And Should Be Taken Heart By All Of Us Who Desire To See Jesus Christ The King - The Judge Of All Flesh - In Perfect Peace! Beloved, Willful Disobedience Is Man Committing A Crime ... Punishable By Death Against His Own Soul And We Would All Do Well To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts Our Words And Our Deeds So That In The Great Day Of Small Things We Are Not With Those Humans Who Had Goat Parts And Thought They Could Out-Thin Out-Run Out-Maneuver Outlaw And Outlast The Eternal God Who Means What He Says Does What He Says And Delivers On His Promises Be They Gifts Or ... Punishments! Almighty God's Word Shall Stand And We Would All Do Well To Choose To Hear Understand, Accept And Act Upon On All Things Which Say: "Thus Saith THE LORD OF LIFE!" Who Doesn't Stutter Or Gamble Or Make Mistakes! Let Us Be Amongst The Truly Wise: Embrace The Truth And Dare To Live In Total Obedience So That The Lake Of Fire Does Not Greedily Embrace You! Please Heed The Law Of Life From The Giver Of Life And You Shall Surely Enjoy ... For Eternity Everlasting Life! Obedience Always, Always, Always, Profitably Pays! Let This Word To The Wise Be Sufficient For Me And For You: Live In One Accord With The Lord! In Him Is Our Only And True Peace!
Why Are We Christians Indulging In Worldly Lust!?!
We Need To Recognize, Brethren
That There Is Good Lust
And There Is Bad
And
We Need To Know The Difference
And
Practice That Which Will Cause Our Savior
Over Our Decision To Be Glad!
Brother Billy, I Don't Understand How Covetousness Could Be Both Good And Bad
When The Word Says That You Can't Get Sweet Water And Bitter Water From The Same Souce
With The Apostle James Also Stating That
Blessing And Cursing Shouldn't Come From The Same Tongue!
Very Good Points, Danette!
Let's Figure This Out Together!
Achan Coveted Forbidden Gold Silver And A Babylonish AKA Worldly Garment!
Was This Good!?!
That Was Very Bad!
He Caused The Unnecessary Deaths Of God's People
And He Lost The Goods Coveted And His Own Life!
Prophet Balaam Coveted King Balaam's Treasure Even Though It Was The Forbidden Reward For Doing A Disobedient Work!
Good Or Bad!
Bad! Real Bad!
His Wickedness Cost 24,000 People Their Lives Up Front
And For His Trouble
Both He And His Evil Paymaster Perished In War Against Their Despised Targets!
Are We Learning Anything Yet!?!
I Know That I Am:
Covetousness Doesn't Profit!
Well Said!
Those Were Old Testament Cases!
Now We Shall See If The Law Of God Has Changed
And
"Made" New Testament Covetousness A "Baptised-Good" Thing!
Let's Consider The Close Companion Of Christ
The Bag Man Aka Accountant
Aka In-house Thief, Judas Iscariot
The Betrayer!
Judas Coveted Perishable Silver
And Sold Out Eternal Gold
To Get What He Could, Would, Never Spend ...!
... This Was Bad, Bad, Bad!
10,000 Times Bad ... And Inordinately Foolish!
He Lived With God In The Flesh
And Still Said There Was No God
By Believing That He, A Mere Man
Could Set, As In Direct, The Lord's Calendar
Life And Times!
Very True!
This Brings Us To ...!
... I Know! I Know!
Ananias And His Confederate Wife, Sapphira!
Those Two Lied To The Holy Spirit
And Those Two Swiftly Died For Their Lies!
Indeed!
Theirs Was Folly Of The Highest Order!
They Were Coveting The Praise Of Man
Over A Gift That They Freely Chose To Give To God
To Get The Praise Of Men
For A Gift They Gave To God With One Hand
And Blithely Took Back With The Other! Just Hearing You Say That Is Twisting My Tongue!
Sincerity Before God Is A Serious Business!
Now That We Know What Bad Covetousness Is
What Would You Say Is Good To Covet!?!
The Things Of God
Things That Don't Perish ...!
... Things That Elevate Us And Draw Us Closer To Christ!
Prophesying ... Teaching The Word
Being Blessed To Bless Others ... In Jesus' Holy Name
And Seeking After Skills Or Gifts To Be Used To Enhance The Work Of Spreading The Good News
Covetousness Was Introduced Into Heaven By Satan
And Promulgated And Practiced On Earth
And
It Shall Be Terminated By Jesus Christ The King
When He Shall Cast All Its Adherents Into Hell At The Third Coming
When He Will Deal With Those Who Get Up
At The Second Resurrection
Those Whose Names Are Not Found Recorded
In The Lamb's Book Of Life!
Brethren,
The Choice ... As Always Is Personally Each Man's Own
No Force
No Coercion!
We, Each, Must Choose To Believe ... Or Not
That The Lord ... The Word Made Flesh
Is True And Faithful
Ever Keeping His Word Of Promise!
There Is No Straddling The Fence!
Believe ... Or Doubt
But Don't Ever Waffle!
Believers Are Blessed!
Doubters Minds May Change!
Wafflers Are Neither Coming Nor Going
And As Such
Are Good Only For The Burn Box!
They Are Double-Minded ... Unstable
Therefore ... Unprofitable
Useless
Condemned
Damned!
The Lord Can Relieve Honest Doubts
If We Are Willing To Be Convinced!
Think About It:
Presumptuous Sin Is Deadly, Twice!
You, A Mere Mortal, Being Willfully Disobedient Tempt Almighty God By Demanding He Save You From The Folly Of Doing What He Didn't Ask And You Act As God Demanding The Real God Do What You Command!
Disobedience Is As Witchcraft, A Sin And Acting As God Is Idolatry ... False Worship Which Is Also A Sin!
Covetousness Is Also Idolatry!
We Are To Have Total Faith And Trust In God
And
We're Never To Test ... Tempt ... Almighty God In A Foolish Effort To Prove His Faithfulness!
Satan Tried This On Jesus!
Jesus Christ The Lord ... Our God Holy
Put Satan In His Place With The "Thus Saith The Lord!"
Please Don't Let The Lust Of Your Flesh Incite You To Offend The Almighty
And
Sin Against Your Own Soul!
The Lord Has Given Us His Holy Law And
He Has Given Us His Promise Of Care: For All Your Needs Let These Be Sufficient!
We Who Call Ourselves The People Of God
Who Swear By Our Parents' Faith
Who Have Found Our Own Faith
Who Dare To Speak ... By Agenda ... Influencing Others
Would Greatly Benefit Self ... And Others
If
We Would Talk Less And Pray More!
Falling Away ...
I Am Appalled!
One Mommy Said That
She Gave Up Her Faith In God
To Protect Her Child In Their Chosen Lifestyle!
One Child Said That
Her Mother Has More Faith In Her
Than She Has In Any God!
One Pastor Gave Up His Decades-Long Christian Ministry
To Be An Ally, An Advocate
A Help For And To His Son In His Preferred Lifestyle!
Several Ministers, Professors In Academia
And
Several "Christian" Physicians Agreed
And
Decided That
The Immutable Word Of God Is Erroneous
Existing Out Of Touch And Time
And
Certain Texts
Offensive To Sensitive, Fallen, Man's Sensibilities
"Needed" To Be Erased From The Canon!
Isn't The Creator God Still Seated On His Throne!?!
Aren't We Creatures Still Subject To The Will
The Sovereign Will Of
The Eternal God ... Alone!?!
Suprise: No Surprise ...
Our Feet Dance
To The Rhythm That Our Engaged Heart Beats!
Doubt In The Goodness, The Blessings
The Benefits From Almighty God
Causes Us To Look Around ... Left, Right, And Behind
To See Who Has What
And
To See Who Is Apparently "Prospering"
Even Though We Know It Is From Known-Evil Activity!
In This Light
We Would Do Well To Remember Lot's Wife
Who Looked Back ... After Having Experienced
The Visibly-Plain Salvation Of The Lord!
Mrs. Lot Dearly Cherished What Could Be Replaced
And
Boldly, Willfully, Despised
The Blessing Of God ... Which Makes One Truly Rich
And As Warned
Perished For Her Gross Folly!
She Is Damned Forever!
She Will Be Consumed In The Lake Of Fire!
Pointed Questions Must Be Asked ...
How Does Enabling Known-Sin
Benefit The Willful-Sinner And The Complicit Enabler
And
Where Will They Spend Their "Profits!?!"
What Makes This Behavior Different
From What Lucifer The Liar Did In Heaven!?!
Why Would We Even Dare To Believe That
The Almighty God Glorious
Will Handle This Bold Treachery
Any Less Firmly That He Did Lucifer's!?!
Know The Right ...
He Who Is Not Sowing With The Lord Christ
Is
Plucking Up That Which Was Planted!
He Is A Destroyer!
He Who Is Not Willing To Give Up
All Things
- Relationships, Associations
Houses, Lands -
For The Love Of The Lord
Shall Not Enter Into Eternal Life!
We, All, As Regenerated Christians
Must Reach The One-Way Path
And
Make The Final Decision
To Commit To The Lord Christ Completely
And Willingly Let Go Of People
- The Silken Cords Of Affection -
Husbands, Wives, Brothers, Sisters,
Children, Friends, Relations
Well-Wishers And Even Beloved Naysayers
And
Head To Zion ... No Looking Back
No Doubting The Will
Nor The Way
Nor The Ways Of The Lord!
It Is Hard
But Assuredly Doable
Because
We Will Be Equipped For The Fray!
Do We Desire Sure Salvation For Our Loved Ones!?!
Of Course!
Since We Do
Are We To Be Willing To Give Up Eternal Prosperity
For Fleeting, Temporal, Tawdry, Emotionalism
And
Unprofitable Gain!?!
No! A Thousand Times, No!
A Personal Note ...
I Am Encouraging The Child Of My Loins
To Make His Decision For Christ
So That We Will Meet Up In The Eternal City!
I've Also Made It "Rabidly" Plain That
Whether He Chooses To Get To Heaven ... Or Not
I Intend, By God's Grace, To Get There!
If He Chooses Not To Make The Journey
- It Is A Choice -
I Will Miss Him During That Period Before The Lord
Wipes Away All Tears From Our Eyes
And
After That "I Don't Want To Be You!"
Brethren,
Every Single, Solitary, Thing, Emotion, Desire
On Planet Earth
That Excludes The Lord Christ
Is
A Waste Of Time, Talent, Energy, Life
And
Not Worthy Of Our Acceptance!
The Lord Doesn't Sleep
Is Not Blind
Is Not Unfeeling
And
Doesn't Stutter!
The Lord Is Not A Man
And
He Cannot Lie!
The Lord Asks Us To Pray ... Always - Unceasingly -
And
In The Instant The Need Arises!
You Know Its Name ...
All Lawlessness Is Sin!
All Willful Sin Is Presumptuousness
And
If You, For A Moment, Doubted It
Check Judge Samson, King Saul,
Ananias And Sapphira, Disciple Judas
And Hophni And Phineas!
All Unrepented Of Sin
Is
Sin Unforgiven!
Disobedience
Is
As The Sin Of Witchcraft
And
Witchcraft Is An Abomination
In The Holy Sight Of The Eternal God!
No One Boldly, Willfully, Living An Abominable Lifestyle
Shall See The Lord Christ In Peace
Or Enter Into Eternal Life!
And, Furthermore ...
There Will Not Be Any Immortal Sinners
No Matter Which Religious Denomination
Deceitfully Dares Say Otherwise!
Immortality Is The Domain Of The Divine God
And
Only Those Who Adhere To His Particulars
Will Enjoy The Gift Promised
To His Faithful, Obedient, Enduring
Aka Self-Denying Children
To Be Given!
Trust God Wholeheartedly
And
Diligently, Importunately, Pray For People
And
Choose To Live By Faith
Not Unholy, Immoral, Changeable
Fickle Eye-Sight!
Omniscience Is Always Better For Us!
I, Praying
Know That We, Willing, Faithful
- Obedient Unto Death -
Shall See Our Jesus In Perfect Peace!
I Pray That You Will See It The Same Way!
REMEMBER:
Anything The Lord Asks Us To Do
Is
Achievable
Because
He Equips Us With The Means
To Gain Success
Aka The Blessing!
Uttered In The Bible
Was Uttered By Israel's First Earthly Ruler King Saul
And It Was Uttered In Direct Opposition
To A Direct, Immutable, Command Of
The Eternal God Holy, Himself
Who Said Only A Priest Shall Offer Sacrifices!
Hear King Saul Sinfully Presumptuous
Unrepentantly Speak:
KJV 1 Samuel 13
12 Therefore said I,
The Philistines will come down
now upon me to Gilgal,
and I have not made supplication
unto the LORD:
I forced myself therefore,
and offered a burnt offering.
I Dare To Say That
This Reeks Of The Ways Of Satan
That Self-Justifying, Gainsaying, Lying, Apostate
Who Saw Everything In The Light Of Self And
Boldly Built His "House" On The Foundation Of
"There's Something In This For Me!"
Hairsplitting Like A Boss ...
King Saul Knew He Was Wrong But You Know How It Is When Self-Will Holds Sway: "I Must Force Myself To Sin
Even Though I Signally Know It Is Wrong
But, My Self - My Dignity - Is Important To Me
So I Must Put Myself
And My Selfish, Unholy, Known-Disobedient Desires
Before The Commands Of The Holy God
So That He Cannot Say That
I Did Not Obey His Command To Offer Sacrifices To Him
Even Though I Know Fully Well What I Should Be Doing
- And Should Not Be Doing -
But Because Of Appearances - My Sinful Lust For Adulation -
I Will Permit Myself
- I Don't Really Want To But I Must -
I Shall Force Myself To Sin
So That I Will Be In Seeming Obedience!
Appearances Must Be Upheld, After All! God Gets A Little Something And I Get The Remainder!
That Prophet Samuel Is Sooo Tardy
And I Cannot Abide Having My Precious Time
And My Sinful Desire For Instant Gratification Thwarted!
Ahhh, Yes ... I Have The Perfect Excuse!"
Brethren,
No One "Forces" Themselves To Sin!
Sinning Comes Naturally To All Of Us
Who Are Known Born In Sin
And
Shaped In Iniquity!
Sinning Also Always Comes Naturally
To Those Who Place Self On The Throne That
Should Ever Seat The Eternal God!
If We Truly Understood God
We Would Know That Not Even Obedience To His Will
Requires Us To "Force" Ourselves To Obey His Word
And
To Walk In His Ways!
And Don't Get Me Started
On Our Blaming The Evil Satan
And His Fallen Angels ... That Demonic Force
And Inanimate Objects
And Wayward Friends
And Heartless, Mean, Society
And Neglectful Parents
For What Is Our Sworn, Cherished
Desired Intention To Do Known Evil ... To Begin With!
Moral Laws Cannot Fix Spiritual Problems!
Nobody
- Created Visible Or Spirit -
Can Make A Human Being Do Anything ... At All!
Almighty God Won't Force You
And
Satan And His Angels Can't Force You!
Be Prayerfully Courageous ... For Those Of Us Who Will To Do The Right
To Walk In The Ways Of The Lord Christ
To Do What Pleases Our Maker, Redeemer And Friend
Here's The Big Hint:
Spirit Of The Living God
Fall Afresh On Me And Fix Me! I Confess My Known Sin! I Repent Of The Past! Lead Me Gently Homeward!
Mortal Man's Peace
Is
Found Only In The Presence Of Almighty God
Through Jesus Christ The Lord
And
Anytime Self Is Admitted - Becoming The Third Party In A Two-Person Conversation -
Rest Assured
The Lord Becomes The Unwanted Participant
Is Minimized
Is Ostracized And
Rejected!
A Threesome Is Unnatural
And
The Lord Is Not Ever Going To Be Participant
In What Is Ever An Abomination!
Listen Up ...
Don't Do The Living, Holy, God Any "Favors!"
Disobedience Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft!
Witchcraft Is Idolatry!
Idolatry Is An Abominable Sin Which - Left Unrepented -
Leads To Sure Damnation!
The Facts Remain ...
King Saul Reaped What He Sowed
And
Is Right Now On The Unchangeable List Of
Those Stricken From The Lamb's Book Of Life!
King Saul Is Forever Damned!
Take Warning ...
When Pride Crosses Over Truth
Maliciously Ignoring Obedience
It Takes The Broad Path To No Hope
Which Leads To Unremitting Anger
Which Leads To Murder
Which Culminates In Death By Suicide
Even If The Fatal Blow
You, Yourself, To Yourself
Do Not Deliver!
