Prayer: Your Hand





Oh, Lord
Your Hand of Provision is Ever in My Sight
And I Bless You both Day and Night!
I Thank You for The Grace
That Ever Flows!
I Thank you for The Mercy 
That Never Slows, and
I Thank You for The Hope
Especially when Sorrow Shows!
I Bless Your Holy Name, Lord
For You Know My Beginning and My End, and
I Humbly Offer You My Praise and My Worship!
I Love You, Lord!
Amen.



God's Love For Me Is Eternal! + Prayer: Thanks!





God's Grace gives Me Access
God's Mercy gives Me Hope
God's Love for Me is Eternal
And for this I don't have to Vote!

I send a Prayer up to Heaven
With Full Knowledge of The Power of Jesus' Blood
For The Blood of His Great Sacrifice
Assures Me an Answer from God Above!

I will Pray to God without Ceasing
I will Pray when it seems This Life is Me Defeating
I will Pray for My Days on Earth are Fleeting
I Will Pray ... I WILL PRAY!

Jesus+Saves

Heavenly Father,
Thanks for the Benefits You Bestow
Thanks for The Love that Shows
Thanks for Forgiving The Balance I Owe
I Give You Praise!
Amen.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Great Occurrence!








There was The Great Occurrence
Which came from Heaven above
Which tells The  Beautiful Story
Of Sacrificial Love
How Jesus left His Home in Paradise
And came to Earth for to Die
To save the Race of Mankind
Wicked
Unworthy
Sin Defiled!

He thought not of The Great Sacrifice
He thought not of The Grave Pain
He thought only of His Beloved Children and
How He must them Reclaim!

With Great Love and Unending Compassion
He laid on That Cruel Cross
For without His Great Personal Sacrifice
His Children would be forever to Him Eternally Lost!

Now this is The Redemption Story
Hear you well This Song
How Jesus my Savior
His Gold Crown Laid Down
To give me a Way Back
To be Reconciled unto The Holy God
Instead of being Forever Destroyed
Anathema to God!

Jesus Died
Yet He Lives and,
Of this, I'm Certain:

He is Coming Again One Glad Day and
Because I am a True Believer
I am packing my Blessed Faith and
I am Waiting
Ready
Prepared 
For
With Him I shall Fly
Fly
Fly Away!

Glory is Awaiting Me
Glory, No More Cross to Bear
The Glory of Jesus I shall Share
Bless His Holy Name!

Call No Man Master




I will call no Man My Master!
I will not Worship Man as God!
Man cannot do anything for Me
For Man is ever into doing something bad!

Man's Baubles and Trinkets though shiny
Can never from God draw me away
For I have The Faith of The Heavenly Father
And from that I'm never turning away!

I can say this with Mighty Conviction:
I have denied Self AND I don't then Self-rely
For I do not turn Inward - I turn Upward
And I Trust The Living God for Me to Provide!

I will not Walk on in My Own Strength - I have none!
"Dear God, won't You Please with Me Your Strength Share for
You Promised to Provide for My Daily Needs
And You Promised Always to Care!?"

I Know and Believe that You, Lord, are Faithful!
I Know, Lord, that You are My One True Friend
And I know that until The Day of Discovery
That You, Lord, will always Me Defend!

Blessings are Mine for The Asking
Accepting and, definitely
Taking Hold!
Blessings will be Mine in The Forever
Because My Master IS Jesus Christ
The King
The Savior
The Purveyor of Fire-Tried Purest Gold!


I Will Call No MAN Master 
for
MAN Cannot Help Me
MAN Cannot Heal Me
MAN Cannot Save Me
MAN Cannot Seal Me
MAN Cannot Redeem Me
from
SIN and DEATH and Hell
for
MAN 
IS
NOT 
THE TRUE and LIVING 
ETERNAL, HOLY GOD!!

Prayer: Father, Keep Me





Father,
I come as a Child both Wayward and Stubborn
 I have a Temper, Dear Lord, which I must Learn to Govern
 I Trust You and Love You
Dear Lord, Help Me this day
Always before You True Humility to Display.
Let Me not My Poor Self Beguile
Keep Me Always Loving, with a Genuine Smile
Remove from Me Faithlessness and Worldly Regrets
And let Me Present Myself
Willing and Ready
With a Heart that is to Your Coming Kingdom Set.
Amen.

Before 12 o' Clock!


The day started with news of Patricide
Then it was followed by a Suicide
Then there was a Homicide
And I was feeling, well, Tongue-tied!

In whom could I Confide
Regards the Flowing Red Tide?
"Time is Running Short
For those Denying that Jesus Christ Died for us!" I cried.




Satan is Snide!
The Worldly Web is Wide!
Guns no longer Hide
And Families Divide!

Where is the Teacher Guide
Who will humbly faithfully to The World Provide
The "Oil" from God's Side
That can cause People from Sin to Backslide?

God's People, let's get off our Backside
Let's go yon' to the Roadside
Let's teach even the Mourner at The Graveside
Let's help to arrest the Rapid Down-slide
Before God issues His Terminal Broadside!

Thank God that Jesus indeed Died
And we, Faithful, did not His Grace Deny
Heaven is now here Espied
Unrepentant Sinners will Permanently Die
We will no more ever Cry
And we will in Peace to Glory Fly!

Adam "Speaks!"





I am of The Human Race - Man
I am Created - Creature
I am Made of Dust - Dirty
I received God's Breath - Life
I communed with God - Worship
I received The Wife - Eve
I listened to God - Obedience
I worshiped God - Sabbath
I honored My Wife over God - Idolatry
I Ignored God's Law - Dishonor
I Sinned against My God - Disobedience
I Accused God of Giving Me Faulty Merchandise - Lying
I was Cursed by Almighty God - The Fall
I caused The Curse to Fall on Mankind - Separation from God
I must sweat - Work
I must cease to live - Die

But... God had Compassion

God sent His Only Son - Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ - Immanuel a/k/a God With Us
Jesus Christ is ...The Lamb
The Lamb is ... The Sacrifice
The Sacrifice ... Atones
Atonement came at ... The Cross
The Cross is a ... Bridge
The Bridge leads Me back to ... God
The Bridge is bathed in ... Blood
The Blood belongs to ... Immanuel
Immanuel's Blood ... Cleans
I repented of My Sin against The Eternal God for I desired to be ... Clean

I am The First Adam
I brought Death to All Mankind
Jesus Christ is The Second Adam
He brings Eternal Life to All Mankind by His Death
I brought Death to All Mankind by My Life
I accepted The Blood of The Sacrifice by Faith in God's Word

And

I Am Forgiven

And

I shall see My King!

My Children ...

Take heed to The Law of The Lord!
When God Speaks - Listen!
When you Listen - Hear!
When you Hear - Obey!

Disobedience - to God - is as Witchcraft!
Witchcraft - to God - is an Abomination!
Abominations - to God - are Destroyed.

Please do not walk right in your own eyes!
Your eyes are Blind!

Please do not present yourselves before God as did my first son, Cain!
Cain Disrespected and Disobeyed God, and his Person and Sacrifice were Denied by God!

His Disobedience led to Jealousy which led to Hatred which led to Murder which resulted in the Death of My Beloved Son, Abel.

The Innocent Died at The Hand of The Guilty, Unrepentant Sinner.

Please Remember my son, Abel, who typified The Coming Redeemer, Bridge, Sacrifice, Atonement, Savior!

Abel honored God in his Person - his Obedience -  and in his Offering of Sacrifice for Sin AND both He and His Sacrifice were found Acceptable, and were Accepted by God!

Abel did not Offer his own Righteousness to God.
Abel followed God's Prescription, and was made "Whole!"

My Children, Honor God in Your Person and in Your Practice!
Please God with the Produce of Your Prayers and Praise!
Worship God with a Beautiful Spirit, and in Holiness!

Children, You Are Not Your Own!
Redeem Your Time - Walk Worthy of Your High Calling!
God Gives to You Your Times!
Do as God Says!

Our God is Just!
Our God is Faithful!
Our God is Fair!
Our God has No Favorites!
Do Good and Good Will Attend You!

Seek God's Help in Mending All Your Evil Ways, and
Remember that Sin Always Costs for
Sin's Account Is Overdrawn and
It's Debt Can Never Be Repaid!

Give Heed To My Words!
I know of what I speak for
I, to Sin, Strayed and
I Disobeyed and, since Forever, Mankind Pays.


I Beseech You, Children
Obey Almighty God!

Walking By Faith!




I know not what The Day May Bring
But I know Who Brings The Day!
I know not if there'll be Suffering
But I do know The King!

I know not which Hand may Comfort me
But I know The Comforter!
I know not if I may Cry or Sing
But I do know The King!

I made no Pact with Satan
But I made The Covenant Of Peace with God!
I know not when The World may End
So I am just Praising The Lord!


Until My End, or The End, Comes, I am ...



Trusting in Almighty God for I've been
Washed in The Blood and
Covered by That Certain Hope which is
Steeped in The Blessed Word of Truth!

My Eyes are Fixed on Glory and I am
Walking by Faith on The Kings Highway where
I am Guarded by The Holy Angels
Comforted by The Holy Spirit and
Cared for by The King!

I am Singing The Songs of Zion while being a 
Watchman on The Wall and also
Giving heed to The Warnings In The Word and of
Those Few Faithful Stewards!

I am Sharing The Faith of Jesus and
Helping to Sound The Battle Cry and
Praying to God in 
The Matchless Holy Name of Jesus Christ
Forever Grateful for Grace and
Thankful for Mercy, and
Resting in Jesus' Peace, and 
Waiting Patiently for The Heavenly Call!

 Please ... Join Me!








How Can I - To The Lord - Say: "Thanks!?" + Prayer





I try to #DoSomethingForTheLordEveryDay
For every day He works does wonders for me
I don't even think about what I Receive
Or what He causes me to Achieve!

I open my Eyes - Sight!
I turn my Ear - Delight!
I sit on a Chair - No fear!
I put out a Foot - I Walk around!
I Sing a glad song and
Oft' dance along
To the rhythm that 
My steady Hands beat
Glad for the sound beating 
My Happy Heart does regular repeat!

How do I say: "Thanks!"
To The God of The Mountain
Maker of The Seas
Ruler of Heaven
Healer Helper
The Blessing to Me?

I bow my Heart
I close my Eyes
I "look" toward Heaven
And softly, I cry ...


Thank You, Dear Father
For The Blessings today
I thank You, I bless You
For The Store You prepare
If I had a choir of voices
I could not sing enough
Of Your Praise
And provision 
Of what is not stuff!
You give me My Being
You give me Your Love
You show me The Path to Mount Zion
You protect Me from McGruff
That Lying Old Serpent
Who is always sending Stuff
And Nonsense
And Nudges
And Winsome White Lies
That were it not for You, Lord
I would be beguiled!
Know, Lord, that I am Thankful for
I know that I am Blessed
Thanks for The Leading - All Sin I confess!
Keep me on Your Pathway
Sheltered by Your Light
Thou Giver of Abundance
Thou Healer of Strife!
And when My Day is over
Cradle me in The Long Night
And at Your Coming
Awake Me, I pray
To the Glorious Sounding 
Of Your Everlasting Day!

Until then, Father ...


Teach Me so that I may Teach Another
Bless Me so that I may Bless Another
Inspire me so that I may Inspire Another
And Use Me so that I won't Use or Abuse Another.
I love You, Lord!
Amen.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: No Bush Birds!






I am not into The Two Birds in The Bush Coming Prosperity!
I have settled for The Bird Already At Hand!
No Disrespect is intended - My Bird is named King Jesus
The Holy One, Immanuel, The Son of Man!

What Jesus Provides for Me is Sufficient!
What God Holds for Me is Enough!
What The Holy Spirit is Protecting
Is no Junk, Grandiose, and definitely Not Stuff 'n Fluff!

My God has Promised Me a Home in The Kingdom!
My Jesus' Life Guarantees Me The Over-comers Gold Crown!
The Holy Spirit Guarantees Me Faithful Companionship and Direction
A Walk to Perfection, Loving Guidance and a New Song!

So, what if I have to Suffer Deprivation?
So, what if I stub My Toe along The Way?
My Setbacks are neither Final nor Fatal
Because #ITrustAlmightyGod, I Pray, and Walk as He Says!

People, Don't Let The Bush Birds Fool You!
Those Birds are Forever Getting Away!
They are like The Carnival Birds - they are Weighted
Light or Heavy - they are Never For You Going To Pay!


There is No I.O.U. in God!

Jesus Paid it ALL!




And, Just Because ...









The Love Of God

A Pretty Face does not make one Beautiful and
A Certain Name can make one feel Shame, but
The Love of God is The Only Prescription
That Heals all that causes Human Pain!

Being Rich does not make one Wealthy and
Lacking Money does not mean one is Poor, but
Not knowing The Kind and Gentle Love of King Jesus
Is what makes Life on Earth a Burden, a Bother, a Bore  and a Chore!

Worldly Riches minus God equal Undesirable End
Rich Food without Heaven's Oil is as Dry Bread
Faith without Work is just as useful
As Teasing a Ravenous Lion and then Patting Him on His Toothy Hairy Head!

Loving The Lord Jesus does have its Man-made Downsides
Loving the Lord Jesus has Glorious Heavenly Eternal Perks
#StayingWithJesusForTheDistance - Resisting that Old Satan
Will lift one up to The Lord
Who Rules Over Heaven and its Attending Awe-inspiring Infinite Works!



Believe and Be Blessed!
God Fixes The Mess!
Field Your Request -
God Heals The Faithful Person's Distress!

Happy Sabbath + God Gave Me His Blessed Assurance + Prayer: Thank You, Lord





God Gave Me His Assurance
He said He'd always be Mine
My Heart is now Overflowing
Because He is Ever Loving, Faithful and Kind!

God Wrote Out For Me His Promise
He signed it in Jesus' Blood
He sends Me Showers of Blessings
Which flow ever like a rushing Great Flood!

God Gave Me His Assurance
That Sin has a waiting Just Fate
And if I walk in Christ's Righteousness
I won't Suffer The Bold Sinner's Fate!

I am to Do Good to All Men
I must Continually Pray and Give Praise
I must Trust in God's Goodness
And never His Holy Name denigrate!

I Trust in God's Blessed Assurance
And I took Me The Great Plunge
Into The Watery Grave of Baptism
And I Emerged Thoroughly Cleansed by The Blood!

Holy Spirit has Taken Up Residence
And is Guarding My Heart's Gate
I now walk Me in The Right Way
For with Heaven I have a Going Into The House Date!


Thank You, Lord, for Hearing
Thank You, Lord, for Healing
Thank You, Lord, for The Helping Hand
That is Guiding my footsteps to My New Home
On The Holy Hill of Zion
Where Peace and Rest are Declared
Where Love and Life are Eternal
Where Fear and Night cannot appear
Where Death and Hell have no standing
Where The Holy God is Commanding
And You are in My Eyesight clear.
Amen







Personal Puzzler: Christian Talkie Walky





My Christian Talk and
My Christian Walk are best friends
It is alleged that they are bound for Heaven
However, before they can enter there
They will God's Looking Glass share!

My Christian Walk had heel spurs and finger calluses
Empty bank account and
Old outdated clothing
And not a true friend to His Poor Name
But happy countenance joyfully displayed He
And Prayer Unceasing was his favorite cup of tea!

My Christian Talk has mucho friends
Money galore
Clothing to fill a boutique store
Hands as smooth as a baby's behind
His feet never knew a hill nor incline to climb.

His attitude did on the last nerve grate
He knew the Mind of God
He loved to set dates
He could tell in a split second who was to God true
He knew alllll that there was of Jesus to know
And weekly he put on A True Christian Spectacular Show!

One day, Great Earth's end was by The Holy God pronounced
The Time of Harvest was duly truly announced:


"Wheat Sheep on the Right!
Goat Grapes on the Left!
Take your position
#TheEternalGodIsOnTheFinalMission! "

Christian and Christian both headed for The Wheat Sheep Gate
And soon they were at the head of the Line
But only One was accepted for his walk did by Grace Shine
And One Christian was cast aside by the Great Lord God Divine!


Which Christian entered in at The Straight Gate?

Which Christian do you seek to have in yourself revealed?

Almighty God - Magician Extraordinaire!?! + Prayer







I met a young lady today

She said she is a Christian - I looked up
Then she said something in answer to a question
That made me bristle and query what's up?

Okay, long story short
This is her testimony:
She is studying and working and all else
She said her college exam was murder
For she had nothing in her head!

She knew only two answers she said of the questions
So she went home and prayed and cried unto The Lord
For she believed that God would get her a passing grade
If she asked in faith, He would reward!

She said that when Exam Results were returned
She had received much more than a passing grade
And she knew that Her God was amazing
For The Passing Grade was from Him, and it was her Reward!

Stunned and shocked, appalled, repulsed, aggravated
Ashamed, frightened, dismayed
Are the emotions that ran through my being
For this "testimony" is what pleases The Fraud!

The God of Heaven is not a magician
To Him these beings are of abominable fame
And to hear a Christian confessing testifying
That God is doing magic tricks
Makes me hang my head is great shame!

I tried to explain to her that she was in error
That praying for a passing grade after the exam is not the way
You did not do The Requisite Study and that is like
Killing a man and praying God to make the decaying corpse live again!

"You obviously knew more than you believed you did!" I exclaimed.

"No! 
God did that! 
I will not put My God in a box! 
My God can do anything!" she grandly, boastingly replied.

I reeled in utter shock!

Here are The Facts:

1. She had maybe somewhat studied ... something

2. She looked at The Exam paper and, save for two answers, knew ... nothing

3. She knew She had failed The Exam

4. She went home and prayed and cried to Almighty God to Pass her Failed Exam Paper because She believed in Him, and knew that He would do anything She required of Him even when She knew She was undeserving and had not done The Necessary Preparation OR, at the very least, had done inadequate preparation

5. Almighty God - Magician Extraordinaire - is The Eraser of Wrong Answers, Passer of Failed Exams, Rewarder of The Undeserving, and The Wrong-doer


I DO NOT KNOW
NOR DO I OWN
NOR DO I WISH TO KNOW OR OWN
THIS IMPOSTOR GOD!!

This RUBBISH is what is being propagated as a result of "feeding" from The 'Another' Gospel!"  a/k/a 

The Gospel of The God Of All Wishes 
Who Also Does 
People's Dirty Dishes!

What this "Gospel" is really saying is that you can read your self-printed Bible and pray your disrespectful prayers, and Almighty God, The Formerly Jealous God, The Former God Who Does Not Change, will permit you to worship false gods, curse His Name, commit murder, commit adultery, lie, cheat, steal, up until the day He comes, and He will save you, unrepentant, into His Eternal Kingdom Of What Used To Be Light because you love Him, and believe that He can do anything you require Him to do because He loves you no matter if you dishonor Him by your active, malicious, presumptuous sin, and He will deliver you Saved ... into His Kingdom,  because, well, He is lonely, and will accept the dregs that you give Him, because He is "The Magician On Demand," who wishes your patronage, and if He doesn't give you what you want, you will not like Him and He will be all alone, and He doesn't want that, so, here, ask Him anything, for He will deliver for you for He loves you and He will do whatever you ask of Him ... just because! 

What a crock of horse manure!

The Holy Bible, The Gospel (Truth) (Good News) of Jesus Christ is a transcript of The Holy God's Character!




God FORGIVES Sin! 

God does not absolve us from The Punishment that is our just desert for wrong doing, nor from our "reward" for lack of preparation and judicious action!

God is with His People THROUGH their trials! 

God's Grace provides Mercy so that we may have help ... in time of need - not after the need has passed!

That Young Lady should have asked God to bring to her remembrance what she had studied and not relegated God to the position of a wicked magician!

This attitude is appalling, but not uncommon, and exposes a destructive lack of knowledge of who is really Almighty God.



The Final Word


2 Corinthians 11:2-4 King James Version (KJV)


2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.


3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.


4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

There is NO OTHER JESUS! 

There is NO OTHER GOSPEL!









Do not Abominate God's Holy Word!

Do not make God's Holy Word a Profanity!

Do not let Satan use us to Lead People Astray with falsehoods and embellished fictions!


God will work for His People when and as we do what is right and good!


And, please,

Do not let us credit Almighty God with nonsense, and call ourselves blessed and highly favored, because we got over!

The day of reckoning is coming, and whichever piper we have paid will play The Tune of Our Selection, for Good or Evil.

The Choice, as always, is personally ours to make.



Father, guide us into Your Truth

By Your Light -

The Light of Life

The Light of The World. 

Amen
