No Bad Habit Will Bless And
No Good Habit Will Curse
So, Let Us About Our Own Soul's Salvation Be Aggressively Bold
And
Put Bad Habits In The Gear Called Reverse!
Willful Sin Led Man Into The Curse And
Jesus Christ Died The Baleful Curse To Reverse
So, Let Us Give Him "Thanks!"
Accept His Free Gift
And
Utter Unfeigned Praise
And
Put Satan On Notice That
Damnation Is Not Ours But His Hearse!
Salvation Is Free To Those Who Choose To Believe!
Damnation Is For Those Who Permit Themselves
To Be Deceived!
The Christ-Follower Is Not Foolish
Will Not Practice Anything Ghoulish
Will Not Be Mulish
Nor Behave About Almighty God's Laws
As One Who Is Clueless!
Don't Live Your Life For The Crowd
The Views, The Thumbs-Ups, The Hearts!
Let Your Heart Rest In Peace
Upon Him Who Is Our Peace
And
Depart From Self
Which Is A Known Evil Disease!
The Fool Says In His Heart That
There Is No God
So, By Extension
No Sin, No Judgment, No Reward!
The Righteous Believe God's Word
And
Tremble
And
Work Out Their Own Soul's Salvation With Godly Fear
Knowing That The Gracious God Holy
For Them ... Personally
Does Sacrificially Care!
There Will Be No Fools In Heaven
So, Be Watchful!
Be Wise
And
Let The Living Word Of Truth Cause You Of The Dominion Of Doom
KJV Jeremiah 13
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

KJV John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

KJV Matthew 4
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Lord Sends Messengers To Warn ...
KJV Ezekiel 33

KJV Ezekiel 18
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

KJV Jeremiah 10
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
KJV Ecclesiastes 6
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
KJV Ecclesiastes 6
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
The Lord Reasons ...
KJV Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
The Lord Blesses The Faithful ...
KJV Psalms 1

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The Lord Is Pleased
When We Choose Him ...
KJV 3 John 1
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
The Lord Accepts Our Word
And Gives Us Him Promise ...
KJV Deuteronomy 26
17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
Thanks And Praise
And Worship Are Comely ...

KJV Psalms 123
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
KJV Psalms 119
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. NUN
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Brethren,
We Have The Holy God
Who Loves And Sacrificially Cares For Us!
Please, I Beseech You
Do Not Allow The Sacrifice Made In Your Name
To Cast Down To The Ground And Trodden Underfoot

Of Pride And Arrogancy
And
The Desire To Fit In With The Dying World!
The World Cannot Save Itself
And
You Cannot Save Yourself ... Or Anybody Else
So Take The Sure Shot
For The Guaranteed Win
And
Walk Softly Before The Lord
In Full Confidence Of Deliverance
From Your Known Sin!
Remember:
Only Jesus Christ Blesses
Helps, Heals
Provides And Protects
Saves And Succours
Forgives From Known And Repented Of Sin
And
Eternally Seals!
Please Permit Him In Your Life To Guide And To Lead:
As Our Advocate Before The Father
For Us Individually
- With His Innocent Blood As Surety And Security -
Okay, Brethren!
Today We Shall Go Deep
And
We Shall Try Valiantly
To Hear What It Is That King David
Is
Really Telling Us About This Great God
He Worshiped And Faithfully Served!
Let's Read KJV Psalms 86 Verses 1-5
To Get The Feel For The Heart Writing The Words
And
Then I'll Give My Verse By Verse Take On It!
1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:
for I am poor and needy.
I Believe That The Shepherd, Psalmist, King
Is Pleading With And, Obviously
Believing On The Lord
And Comforting Himself By Praying Thus:
God Of Earth And Glory,
I Know You And I Need You Now, Today!
I Know That You Are Listening
So Listen To Me Again, Please!
To Your Willing Servant, Please Draw Near!
You Are Rich And Have Blessings To Give
And I Know That You Can Provide What You Know I Need
And I Need What You Alone Can Give To Me!
I Trust You!
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God,
save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
I'm Not Just Asking You To Keep My Mortal Body!
I'm Asking You To Save Me From The Second Death
Because You Are My God
And I Have Chosen To Live The Holy Life
That You Have Commanded Me To Live
And Have Provided The Means With Which
I Can Be Successful!
Lord,
I Am Actively Doing What You Say!
I Am Available To You And I Am Willing And Able Always
To Serve You With Love And Diligence!
You Are Worthy Of My Service
My Faith And My Worship
Because You Have Proven To Me, Personally
That You Are Almighty God ... And Able!
I Can Close My Eyes In Vulnerable Sleep
Knowing That With You I Am Safe
And Knowing That You Will Never Deceive Me
Your Humble Servant Who Is Walking By Faith
And Not By Lying Eyesight!
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
for I cry unto thee daily.
We Have A Relationship, Lord!
I Deserve Justice But Because I Know Your Character
I Am Pleading For Your Gift Of Mercy
Because I Acknowledge The Sins That
I Have Committed Against Your Holy Name!
I Am Broken!
My Heart Is Contrite!
I Repent!
I Cannot And I Will Not Hide From You!
We Commune Every Day About Everything!
We Share Intimately!
I Tell You My Dreams, My Hopes
My Triumphs
My Failures
My Sorrows, My Shame
And You Correct, Direct, And Protect Me
And You Lead Me
Showing Me How, When, Where To Walk
How To Go Out
And How To Come In!
See, There Are Tears Coming From My Eyes
Because Our Communion Is Not Superficial!
I Know That You Feel What I Am Feeling!
I Love You Till It Hurts!
I Know That You Love Me Sacrificially
And Will Prove It In The Day Soon To Come!
I Worship You!
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee,
O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Dear Lord,
You Bring Me Joy!
I Humble Myself Before
So That You Do Not Have To Shame Me!
I Find My Pleasure In You!
Do It Again Today, Please!
Raise Me Up
For All I Can Is Make The Effort To Walk Toward You:
Receive My Life And Make Me Like You!
I Have No Being Without You!
You Are Above!
I Am At Your Footstool
And I Am Grateful For Your Condescension That
Permits Me To Your Holiness
To Draw Near
And Without Ungodly Fear!
5 For thou, Lord, art good,
and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
Dear Master,
I See And I Appreciate Your Character!
I Am Blessed And I Know It!
What Wondrous Love This Is
With Which I Am Covered! Why Do You Love Me So!?!
This Is Perfect Love!
I Am Amazed That The Holy God
High And Lifted Up
Jealous For His Name
Not Excusing The Guilty
Is Ever Willing To Forgive
The Repentant Sinner Like Me
Who Chooses To Call
Not On A False God
- A Dumb Idol -
But On The Glorious God
Who Sees, Knows, Was, Is
Ever Present, All-Feeling And Eternal!
You Are Good!
You Give Good Gifts!
You Bless
And Glory, Hallelujah, Lord
You Forgive!
Brethren,
King David Actively, Personally,
Intimately Knew His God
His Master
His King
And
His Heart Was Glad!
We Are Instructed To Speak To The Lord
As To A Friend
A Trusted Companion Whilst Never Forgetting That He Is
The Holy God!
I Sincerely Urge Us To Approach With Love
And
Be Humbled By
And
Grateful For
The Privilege Of Personally Knowing Him
And
Having Him Be An Active Participant
In Our Daily Lives!
Speak The Truth For He Knows Your Thoughts
Your Actions
And
Is Aware Of All Your Motives!
The Lord God Almighty Is Available And Able ... Willing
And Ready To Help You
And
Just So You Know Who Your Best Friend Is:
He Creates
And
Though He Takes No Pleasure
In Such A Strange Act
He Destroys
And
Surprise, No Surprise
He Loves You ... And Me, Too
Personally!
Any Thoughts About What We Have Covered Today!?!
I'm Sure That I Speak For Everyone Here
When I Say:
I Desire To Know The Living, Holy, God
In The Same Personal, Intimate, Frank Way
That King David Knew The Lord
His Almighty God!
AMEN!!!
Brethren,
We All Can Be As King David Was!
He Knew That To Know Almighty God
Was To Have A Real Life
And
Not Just An Existence!
When You Sin, Confess And Repent! When You're Happy, Rejoice In The Lord! When You're In Sorrow, Cry Unto The Lord!
If You Love The Lord, Tell Someone!
If You're Just Glad To Be Alive
Bless The Lord With Your Praise
And
Just Because The Lord Is Our Shepherd
Our Hope, Help And Salvation
Pray, Pray, Pray ...!
... All Day And Every Day
No Matter What Others May Think
Do Or Say!
Some Things In Life Are Easy!
Some Things In Life Are Hard
But
If You Stick To The Living Word
And
The Way Of Jesus Christ The Lord
You Will Never Accept Old Wicked Satan's
Fancy Calling Card!
You ... Self-Willed
Indulging Waywardness
Wantonness Loving Things Shiny And New
And
Making Life All About You
Is
The Way Of The Deceiver
The Father Of Lies
Who Has No Qualms About
Basting You In Honey
And
Dumping You In A Hornets' Nest
After Having Rolled You In Red Ants
And Biting, Biting, Flies!
Satan Will Tempt You To Sin
And
Then To The Heavenly Father Turn You In!
Satan Will Feed You A Goodly Pinch Of Cheap Snuff
And
To Let Every Body Know What You're Doing
He'll Huff And He'll Puff
And
He'll Blow Your House Down
To The Ground
Where You're Rolling In Pain
In Shame
From Playing The Game Of Life
Lived For Self
Where He Held The Marked Deck
And
You ... Being Gullible
Didn't Realize Or Willfully Ignored The Fact That
You Were Going To Get Your Neck Bre'k
By A Boss Who Had Polished
The Bottom Of Your New And Costly Walking The Wrong Way Shoes
And
Caused You To Walk On Slippery-Skinned Banana Peels
As He Watches You Do The Dance Of Death
On The Way To Hell And Damnation
The Unrepentant Sinner And Satan's Known Portion!
It Does Not Have To Be This Way!
Jesus Christ Already Paid For All Your Sins
And
He Has Given You Carte Blanche:
Accept My Sacrifice For You!
Take My Hand!
Believe Me!
Trust Me!
Worship Me, And Obey
And At The Appointed Time
Live With Me Forever
Where There Is No End To Day!
Deny The Liar, Satan Invite Into Your Life The Abiding Holy Spirit
And
Willingly
Come Follow After Me!
There Is No Need For You
For Your Own Sin To Have To Pay! Bless Me With Your Love And Willing Service And Live With Me Where The Glory Cannot Fade!
Brethren,
All Things May Be By Worldly Standards
Legal, Lawful, Acceptable, Profitable
But
That Does Not Mean
- In The Sight Of The Lord -
That They're Good Or Right
So, Do Your Self a Favor
And
Do Not Under Worldly Wisdom Labor
But
Seek, Instead
To Make Yourself ... To The Living God, Eternal
Something Of A Sweet Savor!
If The Word Of The Living God Says: "No Go!"
With The Worldly Flow, Don't Go!
Don't Go With The Popular
The Convenient
Because
At The End Of The Day
At The End Of Your Life
When Your Probation Is Ended
And
You Then Have To ... At The Resurrection
Face The King Who Gave You Life
The World Will Not Be Present
To Share In Your Reward
Because
The World And Its Adherents
Will Be Facing The Same King
The Same Judge
The Almighty God!
Know The Right ...
You Are A Kingdom Of One
When It Comes To Your Living The Godly
Or The Ungodly Life!
What You Do Determines Where You Go
So, Again
Do Your Self A Favor
And
The Things ... The Shiny, Pretty
Burnable, Can't Carry Them With You, Things
Out Of Your Grabby Hands Let Go!
The Lord Has Promised Us A Forever Home!
He Has Promised Rest And Peace!
He Has Promised Grace And Mercy
And
From Living In Sin
Sweet, Sweet, Relief!
Trust The Lord Who Made You
And
Ignore That One, Satan, Who Shall Surely Betray You!
Why Worry ... When You Can Pray!?!
Why Worry ... When For Your Purchased Soul
The God Of Grace Cares!?!
Why Worry ... When You Face The Bold Enemy
When The Lord Of Angel Armies
Is
The One Who Purchased Thee!?!
Pray In The Morning
The Evening, At Noon And At Night
For This, Brethren
Will The Heart Of The Lord Delight!
Pray
But
Not Because You Believe
You're Telling The Lord Something New
But Because With Your Praying
You're Telling The Lord Of Life
That You Trust Him Completely
And
You Believe That He, Alone, Is God That He Loves You
And
That He, Alone
Can Well And Truly Save You Because
He Sits On You Heart
