There Is No Risk In God!

Trust God!?
For what?
What has He ever done for me?

When I was breaking my back in the Sun
and in the cold, where was "god!"

Trust god.
Interesting concept embraced by the rabble.
The panacea of fools.
There is no god.

I work hard for what I have!
I lie, cheat, steal!
Fanagle!
I indulge myself!
Me!
No "god" involved!
Just Me!

Trust god?!
I am God!
Didn't you get the "circular!"

Trust God!?!
You must be mad!
I'll tell you what!
The day that "God" comes off His High Throne
And puts a $1,000,000 in my hand - PER - SON -AL - LY -
Is the day that I will trust God!
Let Him show Himself to me and I will "trust" Him!
... Maybe.

Okay ...

I hear what you are saying
I hear those ... words ...
I feel your hurt, your anger, your disdain
I hear your disbelief
I am sorry that you feel that way
And I am really sorry that you find it necessary to speak of Your Creator that way! ... really sorry.

You spoke your mind, yes?

Yes, I did, and I'd do it again!!

Good. Now I will speak mine!

You are a fool!
You are as foolish as a banana in salt brine!

Who gave you life?
Who lets you live and walk and talk like you made yourself?
Who lets you daily decide  and say
"I shall go about at will and make me a pound and a crown!"
When, if He so willed, you would no where be found?

Who created and made this planet
And the Sun and the Moon and the Stars?
The Wind?
The Rain?

Who provides the Oxygen you suck up so freely in your asinine arrogance?

Your are a liar!
You are a fake!
You are a thief!
You are a petty version of That Snake!
And neither of you have an excuse
For doubting, distrusting or denigrating the Creator!

You are not your own!

I must calm myself ... but I am really offended by you, and for you!

Since there is no God, let's see what is personally yours!

If you will permit me, I will be god, for a moment!

Nobody's stopping you!

"I made everything for my pleasure!
Nothing was made without me!
Nothing can live without me!
The Heavens are mine!
The Earth is mine!
The oceans and seas are mine!
The sun, moon and stars are mine!
The atmosphere is mine!
The trees, plants, grass are mine!
The animals are mine!
The fish are mine!
The insects are mine!
The lakes and rivers and streams are mine!
The rain is mine!
The dirt with which I made Man is mine!
The Creative Power it took to make Man is mine!
The Love used to fashion Man is mine!
The Hands that gently molded Man are mine!
The Breath that gave Man his life is mine!
The Image in which Man is made is mine!
You are Man and, therefore, you are mine!
The Love your Father and Mother shared is mine!
The Chemistry that caused your life is mine!
The Life that you possess is mine, therefore, you are mine!

Need I go on?!"

Okay.

"Let's see what it is that you bring to this relationship that you deny but cannot survive without!

Your first-parents disobeyed my Commandment!
You were born in Sin!
You were shapen in wrongdoing!
You are a Sinner!
Your Sinlife is an offense to me!
You are destructive!
You are dishonest!
You hate!
You commit murder!
You worship gods made with your own hands!
You cavort with and worship demons!
You have befouled my Creation!
You deny My Being!
You denigrate My Throne!
You murdered My Beloved Son who labored to save you!
You, a creature,  make yourself higher than your Creator!
You, therefore, have no right to use anything that I - Your Creator - created!"

NOW ... IF GOD as a Man
DEMANDED RECOMPENSE:

TO: The Work of The Not-Creator's Hand
FROM: The Not-Creator
DATE: RIGHT NOW
SUBJECT: FINAL DISCONNECTION NOTICE

I KNOW and ACCECPT THAT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN MY EXISTENCE so, with IMMEDIATE EFFECT, I am removing all of My Creative Inputs from your view, life, living, and being.

As a result of this disbelief, and because I do not wish to offend your sensibilities by forcing you to be a part of a structure created by a Being whose existence you deny, and whose authority you defy, I will be dismantling the scene of play on a First Created, First Removed basis!  

Removal will, therefore, be as follows:

1. I AM taking my Ball and going Home!

#Maranatha!

NOTE TO FILE:
The Ingrates backed the wrong play!!!
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice Is No Longer Required!
Holy Spirit Can Rest!


BUT ... GOD IS NOT A MAN

And, in His Mercy, He permits us to exercise our Free Will!

God does not desire forced love, nor forced worship!

God has laid out The Plan of Salvation whereby we have the CHOICE to make to Love Him and Eternally Live OR Hate Him and Eternally Die!

The CHOICE is there to be made by each and every single human being!

Every INDIVIDUAL MUST DECIDE FOR HIM or HER SELF!

No Government, no President, no Prime Minister, no King, no Prince, no Pope, no Priest, no Pastor, no Imam, no Shaman, no Witch, no Warlock, no Shylock, no Teacher, no Prophet, no Apostle, no Judge, no Magistrate, no Mother, no Father, no Husband, no Wife, no Brother, no Sister, no Grandparent, no Aunt, no Uncle, no Relative, no Friend, no Foe, nor Fiend can make The Decision of A Lifetime for YOU!

Every last person on this Planet will face God, ALONE!

Right or Wrong, Good or Bad, for Light or for Darkness, YOUR DECISION is YOUR DECISION!

If YOU are 

against 

#THELIVINGGOD 

YOU 

are for 

#TheDyingSatan!

If YOU make 

NO CHOICE

YOU have 

CHOSEN Satan!

There is NO DEFAULT POSITION!

Dear Ones:

Jesus Christ died to save Mankind, and He did it because of LOVE!

Jesus LAID DOWN His Own Life! No one took His Life! He FREELY gave His Life to save ours!

The Call to Salvation is still being echoed around the World, and those of us who have not yet made the Decision for Christ and Life still have the OPPORTUNITY to do so!

While there is Life, there is Hope!

When we die, whatever Decision we have made is THE DECISION for ETERNITY! There is no DO OVER!

Please, let no man or woman deceive you!

Your DECISION is, again, YOUR DECISION!

Choose WISELY!

As for Me, I CHOOSE The Lord, JESUS CHRIST!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed!

Someone PAID For YOU!

BJ

Know The Enemy Of Your Soul!

#KNOWTHEENEMYOFYOURSOUL!!

His Peace is War
His Love is Hate
His Light is Dark
His Benefit is Death
His Bread is a Rock
His Fish is a Snake
His Water is Poisoned
He cannot save, salve nor slake!

His Promises are Putrid
His Goal is the Grave
His Wine is Slavery
He cannot Atone!

His god is Himself
His Truth is the Lie
Murder most foul
His card-carriers' kites fly!

Injustice is juice - Malice is nice lace
Glories in the profane
Hunts and kills Christians
Cheats and steals but never takes blame!

Corrupt praise - demonic worship
Paganistic displays
Sacrifice unto idols
The Mark of his ways!

Enticements - embellishments
Bright baubles - big beads
Delicacies delicious
Fate fraught with fat fleas!

Destroys the developing
Sprays the food growing on the farm
Places poison in your pantry
Motivates products to kill and harm!

He despises Heaven's Master
He seeks God's worship as his own
He suffers from I-itis
His end is fire and brimstone!

We all know this is Satan
Know your enemy - don't underestimate
Or you will on the Final Day
Suffer his just and same fate!

KNOW THIS TRUTH:

God giveth Life!
God giveth Grace!
And because of His Mercy
You have an escape
Unto Glory, in Heaven
Where there is no night
Where nothing defileth
Where never Sin can you bite!

Trust Jesus, Just Jesus
Kindhearted and True
Faithful, Forgiving
He who died to save you!

Accept you His offer
Of Salvation and Peace
Use your Satan Repellent
Use your super power array!

Pray without ceasing
Read you King James' Holy Bible each and every day
No corruptions - no fakes
Not those bibles that with Sin play!

Get on your knees!
Lay on your bed!
Stand in your closet!
Bow your heart - not just yours knees and your head!

Go to Almighty God
He is to be found
And believe this in confidence -
He won't you confound!

Humble yourself as a child
Needing guidance - to be lead
And trust Jesus for deliverance
And Satan will from you have fled!

Proclaim it from the housetop
Proclaim it from the hills
Proclaim it over oceans, rivers and seas
Jesus is Savior!
The Coming Victorious King
Elevate Him - He is Gracious!
Sing praises!
To Him cling!

God's Path

Straight and Narrow be Thy Path

Don't bow before the Golden Calf

That way lies sorrow - death at The Last

Straight and Narrow is God's Path!

Straight and Narrow be Thy path

When upon the Lord your burden is cast

Upon His Word, stand and hold fast for

Straight and Narrow is God's Path!

MOVIE - God Of Wonders - Proving God Through Science!

God Of Wonders is a beautiful homage to Our Creator God!

This is a truly wonderful presentation with spectacular footage of God's Creation in its various guises in all their awe-inspiring grandeur!!

Jesus Is Coming! Hold On!

There will never be a Day of Peace upon this Planet Small!

That is because of something known as The Fall!

No use caterwalling!

Jesus is our Peace - answer His Call!

He is the Loving Shepherd

And He is the Maker of The Ball!

Thar Fallen Cherub instigated The Serpent to cause Disobedience

Which gave us lust, hate, stitches, and all!

That same Fallen Cherub instigated Pharoah

Herod, Judas, Nero, the Inquisitors and the like

And if you look through Man's History

You will see the Shades of Night!

Right up unto this day, Friend

You can see The Blight

But, Thank God for Jesus' Sacrifice

Believers in and Accepters of Salvation 
Are soon going to Take Flight!

Jesus Is Coming!

Hold on!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Loving Incautiously

I have loved incautiously!

I have loved a love that denigrated me

A love that took repeatedly

Yes, yesterday, I loved incautiously.

Today, I Love incautiously

I Love The Son of Man who elevates me

The Man whose Love for me was proved sacrificially

Today, I happily Love incautiously!

Dear Ones:

Love that takes for itself is not love!

Our Master, The Eternal God, set the standard for us by giving to us His All - His Very Life.

He has stated:

In this corporeal realm, a person may die for another, but that death saves a life now that will die later, and possibly forever at The Judgment!

Many of us give to our partners, spouses, children, bosses, jobs, best friends, pets, hobbies and possessions more love and attention than we will offer to God.

We are, and have been, guilty of this sin - it IS Sin - and we need to repent in sackcloth and ashes i.e., copious tears and prayers for Forgiveness, Mercy and Grace.

We wittingly love wrongly!

 We also wrongly, willingly, love incautiously!

 We also wittingly, willfully, live and love incautiously, and the Pathway to our Living In Peace is paved with If Only, Would Have, Could Have, Should Have, But, Didn't and Regrets!

Nevertheless, because of the Love of God, and our acceptance of His Grace, via His Mercy, we may choose - it IS a choice - to Love Jesus Christ with gay abandon, i.e., without fear and trembling!

Let us 

REORDER 

our priorities!

Let us 

MAKE 

JESUS FIRST!

Let us, by The Grace of God Which Passes ALL Understanding, cast all our fears aside and Love Jesus wittingly, willingly, willfully and rightly ... Incautiously!

Jesus has made Unimaginable Plans for Our Wedding Celebration and, I am sure, Wonders Will Abound!

Be encouraged, and

Be well, and be gloriously blessed!

Why, Lord?! + Prayer

Why, Lord, do the people ignore Bright Right Light but embrace Pulsating Darkness?

Why does it seem that sinning is satisfying and right-doing is demeaning?

Why is hate a full plate and love a dry date?

Why is cruelty elevated and kindness denigrated?

Why is Faith in Jesus called folly but belief in Satan is called wisdom?

Why do we seek vainly after what You have not given unto to us to know?

Why are we not contented with a little bit, some and enough?

Why do we always say "Gimme more!"

Why do we glamorize evil?

Why do we despise goodness and right but appeal to them when evil and wrong hinder and harm?

Why don't we Love You, Lord?

Why do we hate You, Lord?

Why, Lord, are we trying to make You, GOD Almighty, Mighty to Save, a small god?

Why can't certain of us feel the temperature of the times?

Lord, have Mercy

Come soon and displace

All who hate Jesus

Those who have no place for His Love and Grace

Bless all Your Little Children

And from that Good Wheat

Make for Your table, Lord

Loaves, blessed, bountiful, sweet.

Your Rain overflowed

Your Ground was good firm

Your Workers were Faithful and

They worked and they learned

For they were Believers

Kindhearted and true

And they loved, lived and trusted

And longed after You!

Come, Lord!

Gather Your Harvest

Filled with bountiful plump grain

And let The Time of Rejoicing be Glorious and 

Eternally Sustained!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH +The Prayer Family

Okay, Class! Let's continue:

Ernest Lee and Percy Vering Prayer are fraternal twins who are identical!

Their mother, Mayn Lee Prayer, has a twin herself who is called Cahm Lee Prayer.

Huh!?!

Ahmmm..?

But ...?!

Yes, yes!! Ask your question!

How come Mayn Lee Prayer and Cahm Lee Prayer have the same last name if they are both married with children?

Good question!

And the good answer is ...?

Good answer is that a Prayer married a Prayer!

Oooh! 

So their names are Mayn Lee and Cahm Lee Prayer-Prayer!

Good gracious!

Get it?

Pray a Prayer! 

You crack me up!

Anyway, Mayn Lee is married to Fas N. Prayer whose father is People N. Prayer whose wife is Victoria S. Prayer whose Granny is Abiden Prayer.

Well, you could imagine how it is when all these Prayers come together!

You see, all of these Prayers married other Prayers.

Some have remained faithful and, sadly, a few have not!

There is now a branch in The Family that is totally off the wall:

Vile Prayer-Labyrinth

Laffinh Prayer

Prayer Tudee-Aire and

Du-Spell Ahn Prayer

are creating problems for

DeChurch N. Prayer

Power N. Prayer

Prayer Fuhde Power and Restlin N. Prayer!

Anyway, Goode and Faithful Lorde are the Overseers of the Congregation and they do not stand for nonsense, new-age nuggets, nor one-world common ground foolishness!

They have issued "The Directive" requiring Heartfelt Prayer to be the standard bearer - no exceptions!

There has been much grumbling by the youngsters who want to "go modern," but Steadfast N. Prayer wouldn't allow any deviations, and Re Pente and BeYou Baptized are armed and ready for the fight that is coming.

Never Theless, All Said, Ann Done, Tudee Finish, Gaud S. Gain, and Glory B. Prayzed have joined with Hymm Sing and Gausspel and Gauds Troof at the home of Maintin N.  and Tarree N. Prayer to petition for Power To Overcome.

The triplets, Icahn, Ucahn, and Lettus Prayer sang "God Will Make A Way!" while their father, Daycahn Prayer, played the guitar - their mother Lourdes Prayer said the benediction.

Besides a few black sheep, I am sure Grandfather Godly Prayer would be pleased with his legacy!

The Prayers sound good!

Want to meet one of them?

Sure!

Saint Lee meet This S. Prayer!

Amen!

PRAYER: Lord, I am Foolish!

Lord, I am foolish!

Please make me wise!

I trust You with the majors but

The minors leave me paralyzed!

Why do I doubt You?

I know You never fail!

Make me anew, Lord

Teach me Your Ways!

Lord, You are ever Faithful

You have numbered my days

You have numbered the hairs on my head

You give my gaze

You breathed into my nostril

The breath that is Life

Lord, please also give me Strength for The Coming Strife!

I love You, Lord!

AMEN!

Who AM I? - A Personal Puzzle

You will not see it coming toward you

You will not hear its footsteps walking beside

You will be hit

You will feel the punch

You will feel the sting

You will lose your wind

You will struggle for breath

You will be forced to puff up your chest

You will on mincing step glide

You will Jesus set aside

You will in self confide

You will slip and slide

You will see Truth and beauty collide

You will hear I and I

Who AM I?

I Am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to serve God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to trust God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to honor God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to love God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to obey the Law of God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to pray to God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose whom I will worship - God ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to live like an unreasoning animal ... or not!
I am Free!

I am Free!
Because I am Free
I can choose to curse God and die ... or not!
I am Free!

BUT ...

Because He who made Me
Made Me Free
And gave unto Me Free Will
To freely give back to Him ... or to spill
I - in my Freedom
Choose - to stand still
And give back to My Maker, Master, Savior, Redeemer, Friend
My Will ... Free
So that I may ... see
And live in hope ... to be
Finally, fully, gloriously refreshed and blessed
At the start of ... Eternity!
Because I Am ... Free
I choose to live by in for ... Him
Free!

Give Your SELF to God!

In faith, Give God what you have - He accepts the willing heart!
In love, Give God who you are - He accepts the helpless soul!
In hope, Give God your burdens - He is well able to carry them!
Give, give, Dear One, to God!

Give God your Will
Your Way
Your sad reflections!
Give God your Sorrows
Your Dreams
Your Hopes
Your Fears!
Give God your Life
His Acceptance rate is always 100!
Give, give, to God, your Soul!

Pray purely to God
No middleman, no outliers, no fake assemblies!
Just you, just God
Your heart, His Ear
Your confidence
Give, give, Dear One, to God!

Raise up your head!
Lift up your heart - no pride!
Puff up your chest!
Sing as the Lark!
God is your Friend
Companion
Shepherd
Savior
Trust you in Him
On Him you can surely depend!

Turn not aside!
Be steadfast
Sure
Committed
And in That Day
Your confidence will see His as your King!

Give, give, to God!
You gain, gain, immeasurably!
Give, give, to God!
Be assured His Grace will provide for you!
Give, give, to God!
His Mercy has no boundaries!
Give, Your SELF, Dear One, to God!

We All Want The Crown But ...

A beautiful gown!
A gorgeous crown!
I can handle wearing those but
Holding a cross
Doesn't go with my outfit and
Doesn't fit with the frou-frou mood!
Carrying a cross seems, well ... somehow ... lewd!

Who wants to be sorrowing?
Who wants to feel pain?
Who wants to show neglect
When everybody else and his brother sister shows gain?

Who wants to be hungry?
Who wants to go to jail?
Who wants to be die thirsty
From standing on a rusty nail?

Who wants to be hated
For calling on the Lord
When all around people ignore Him
And enjoy special rewards and live loud?

Who wants to be disowned?
Who wants to have their knowledge disavowed
When all around are people
Who live big eating cracked crab and raw cow?

Who wants to drink dirty water?
Who wants to eat weevil bread?
When Uncle Patty and Aunt Danny
Are pouring champagne on each other's head?

NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND!

But ...

Christ-Follower REALITY Check:

We must come to the realization
That serving the Lord is no cake walk
For He told us quite plainly
That following Him will bring out
Vultures and Hawks
Who, for want of a better
See no reason not to God's people afflict
With pain, sorrow, threats and
Trials and denials
Before kings and Queens
Foreign dignitaries
The ones who have their godship
And who spread hate like roman fleas spread disease!

So, buckle up!
Bow your head!
Lift your heart - no pride!
Say a prayer!
Come out of the dark!
God IS good!
God IS great!
God loves His Children!
He holds their fate!
No man like themselves
Can deal draw drag them away
From The God of The Bible
The God in the 23rd Psalm
The God in Psalm 46
The God of Psalm 121
The God of Psalms 19 and 20
And definitely not from the God of beloved Psalm 91!

Okay!

TIME 

FOR 

A CHANGE OF ATTITUDE!

From This Moment On:

I shall - without reservation
Carry my Cross - splinters and all!
I shall pray without ceasing!
I shall make the Lord my portion!
I will look up for I know
My Help comes from The Lord, God Almighty
All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
Who created All
Who gives to each length of days
Who provides good things
Who is long-suffering toward us
Even when we stray
Who has prepared His Place for us
Who has given us His Holy Spirit
For comfort
And His Hand of Promise
By His Spilt Blood on His Own Cross
That we - when we bear our personal crosses -
Will have the Blessed Assurance
Of Rest, Peace, Love, Joy
Hope, Grace, Mercy
A Victor's Palm
A Robe of Righteousness
A True Gold Crown
A New Name
And the best of All
A Glorious, Immortal Body
And Angelic Escort
To a Personal, Custom Built Mansion
Of His Design
Where we shall A L W A Y S behold His Beautiful Face!
Until then ...
We shall have
Angels to Guard and Guide
Holy Spirit to Comfort and Chide and Direct and Teach and Correct
Courage for the Journey
Strength for Way
The Faith of Jesus
And the Power Of and In Prayer!

THEREFORE, in that Certain Hope, I say:

Father, lift me up 

and carry me 

as I carry my cross!

Amen.

Hiding Sin?!

I was scheduled to have visitors
But I did not feel like cleaning the house
So I decided that I would hide everything
Behind the sofa, in closets
And just spray - Clean House!

It was then that "it" hit me
That this was what happened with Sin
If you did not clean it right proper
It was always there, hanging out with its, and your, friends!

Boy, did I feel real bad
About what I had intended to do
So I said a quick prayer
And pulled back the rubbish Sin from behind the chair
And opened the closets
And gave the rubbish a breath of Fresh Air!

This whole episode really spoke to the heart of me
It told me that hidden Sin is not hidden at all
For the first time someone opened one of your closets
Hidden Sin will be revealed and you gine ball!

So don't try the hiding old Sin routine
That game has already been played
And the only winner was Satan
That Heathen, That Liar, That Fraud!

When you want to get rid of the old dirt that is defiling
You get out the cleanser that does the work
Same thing with getting rid of old Sin
Call Jesus - The One Who on Calvary Cleaned Our Dirt!

Get Jesus! Just Jesus! Immanuel!
He cleans!
He renews!
He reclaims!
He shelters!
He protects!
He labors!
He Seals!
He Saves!
So that not one repentant sinner is a reject!

JESUS CHRIST -

He Gets The Sin OUT!!

A Life Of Only FUN!?!

F eeling
U nnaturally
N eedy!

#MeetJESUS! - and you will no longer be needy
Nor needing artificial entertainments

In devilish delight
In Satan's cartoon comedy

PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me For ...

Father forgive me for yesterday

Day before yesterday

A week ago

Week before last

One month ago

Last quarter

Six months ago

Last year

Two years ago

Five years ago

The last decade. 

Forgive me My past. 

Forgive me for today. 

And if life be spared, forgive me for what I do wrong tomorrow. 

Father, I am pleading with You 

To rein me back from ever seeking to find out 

What it means to live without You!

I don't want be in charge of my life, Father! 

I want to be Your child! 

Let me be Your responsibility! 

I don't want independence from Your control! 

Let me be a dependency! 

Lord, let me be the proverbial leech on Your Love!

I have traveled the world, and it was not fun! 

It's been cold, and cruel, and corrosive! 

Please lead me, guide me, humble me

Hold me, hinder me, hide me

Make me over, take me over

Carry me over, take me through

Open my eyes, clear my ears

Fill my heart, take my hand

Order my footsteps 

Lord, let me stand before You

Convinced, convicted

Clean and committed

Prominently displaying my Red Ticket

And waiting for my white robe and my gold crown

Even as I work for Your Glory!

Remove Self from Myself

And make me like You!

Lord - by Your Grace and Mercy 

Through the Faith of Jesus

And the Comfort of The Holy Spirit -

I am Yours! 

Amen.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Distractions Tickle, Tempt and Taunt!

Distractions tempt taunt and tickle me
To turn aside awhile
This must have been what Ms. Eve did see feel endure
When the Serpent did she beguile.

Well, Distraction
Let me speak to you
You will not me defile
My Nana Eve caused me to be wearing cloth
To suffer from mosquitoes, disease,  work and sloth
BUT The Father in Mercy made a way
Of redemption for me and mine
So let me tell you something here today:

Get Thee hence!
Go behind me!
Get away with you!
I know how to pray!

The Holy Spirit is in me
He's here to stay!
Thank God for Jesus
For my sin life He paid!

Jesus got The Answer
In Gethsemane:

"Nothing has changed, My Son
You're going to Calvary!
We love these sin-sick children!
My wrath must be appeased!
We love them enough to spend on them
The Life of My Beloved in whom I am well pleased!"

You see God paid His Best to get rid of my worst
So I have accepted the Purchase
You can wiggle, you can tickle
You can taunt
You may flaunt
You may fly
You may cry
You may lie and sigh
I ain't going to eternally die
For that which can't my longing soul satisfy.
Maranatha!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Father, My Life Is The Light You Gave Me

Father, You said: "Let there be Light!"
And the Light entered my soul!
The darkness of night fled away
And the Light of Life Day did appear
And with the working of Your Holy Spirit, Lord
You made The Way appear clear!

You placed the Firmament above my head
Causing me to seek Heaven even though Earth is my bed!
You fill me with Water and provide me with Bread
And at each new morning You give hope for what's ahead!

My life is the Light You gave me
To shine for You in the wide wild world
But ... I am sorry, Great Father
I am often light out among them, cold - a churl!

Forgive me, Dear Father
I beseech You today
Renew me, refresh me
Send Holy Spirit - this is my prayer!

Lord, let me not care for my body
Before I care for my soul
Send You the Quiet Dew of Watering
Which by Your Love and Grace You bestow!

Oh, Lord, let me not be foolish
Choosing Earth instead of Heaven sublime
For at the Day of Your Returning
I'd be lost, cast off, denied!

Lord, renew, remake, seal
Reveal Your Will for me
And the Way that I should walk on this Earth as a sojourning pilgrim
Unrooted in this foreign land
Restless for Righteousness
Dissatisfied with Pomp
Unphased by Circumstance
Unperturbed by Situation
Thankful for Plenty
Undismayed by Want
Knowing You provide for my Need
And, please, let pleasure for pleasure's sake be pleasure denied.

Let nothing come between us, Dear Father
Let no joy come between me and Peace
Let Grace forever fall upon me
And let Mercy spell sweet, sweet, relief.

I bow before You in worship
I sing a joyous song to render praise
I walk in The Path toward Zion
Where forever on Your lovely Face I will gaze.

I give back to You all that You gave me -
Body, Will, Way and my Soul
These are my presents to You, Dear Father
You, whom I totally adore!

I ask that You return only body and soul, Lord
When they have Your finish - immortal, and made of Heaven's pure gold!
Send me, direct me
Lord, lead me!
Lead me to my Heavenly Forever Home!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Against GAPS Spirit of Entitlement

Dear Lord, I am suffering
Suffering, suffering from GAPS!
If You, Lord, don't help me
Satan will continue dancing in my lap!

I am looking for Gain - gain in my pocket
I am needing Attention - attention to my myriad needs
I am craving - craving Personal Satisfaction, and
Pride is my passport to satisfying my gluttony and greed!

I see no reason to be humble
I want what I want - Whoever, Whatever, Wherever it be
Pity, Father, that with all of my wanting
It takes suffering to show me that I need Thee!

My Wayward Self has declared: "Independence!"
My Wild Will walks on in its own way
My Willful Way is determined by the immoral majority's wind change
And my life is all bewildering decay and dreadful dismay!

Lord, I know that my life could be better!
Lord, I know that You'd come if I would bend and call
But ... but ... but ... I have a constant companion
Who says that I don't need You because I AM a god!

Lord, I am tired of the testing turmoil
Lord, I am tired of the constant raging torment
Lord, I am giving You my unnecessary permission
To humble me, and to help me quickly repent!

Help me to repent of Irightis
Help me to repent of The Myway Way Always
Help me to cast off Inner Turgid Corruption
Help me to call You instead of believing doing walking as That Spirit says!

Lord, Self Satisfaction isn't working!
Lord, Spirit of Entitlement is giving me the Shakes!
Lord, Gusto for Gain is causing me heartache, and
Pride is making me do always what Satan says!

Lord, I am weak!
Lord, I am have been wayward!
I have wickedly walked in my own corrupted way!
I have planted the wind - I now reap the whirlwind!
Lord, Jesus, help me before Life slips sails slides away!

Lord, I have been trying to remake myself - just not in your image
Entitlement, indeed, has been my one true god
Self-definition has been my golden altar, and
The Oil of Self-satisfaction has marinated me and
I am now fit to be tied and then charbecue broiled!

Oh, Lord, renew, renew, renew, renew me!
Help me to look outward, look upward
Walk onward in and through Your Truth!
Lord, please rebuke, rebuke that Wicked Satan
Let me work walk to for in by You - please soothe!
Help me set to aside Self and Live as one Holy

For now, Lord, now, now, I am speaking, speaking the gospel truth!

I AM The LORD!

I AM The Lord - I Love YOU!
I AM The Good Shepherd - I Will Lead and Feed YOU!
I AM The I AM - I Will Always Be With YOU!

Hold Strain - Stand Firm - I AM Guiding
Turn Not Aside - For Friend, Foe, Fate Nor Familiar
Hold On, My Child - I AM Coming
Be It Dawn, Noon, or Set Of Sun!

Whate'er Betide
Let No Man Kill Your Hope Tree -
Water, prune, and manure it!

Within It Is Eternal Life
Without Is Death and Destruction!

Come YOU To Me For Shelter
I AM That I AM
The TRUE And LIVING GOD!
