JESUS CHRIST SAVES: Don't Forget The End Of The Book!

Man, He Ladder She In Curse!

You Mean He White-Wash She Good And Proper!

Well, Yes!

How Did She Respond!?!

Strange That You Ask
And
Strange Was Her Response!

With Her Back Ramrod Straight
Her Hands Resting Quietly At Her Sides
She Looked Up To Heaven ... And Smiled
And Softly Replied:

Yes, Lord!
I Love You!
I Will Not Forget The End Of The Book!
The King Is Coming
And I Intend To Be Thoroughly Washed And Departure Ready! 
And She Said,

Good Evening, All!
Blessings Be Upon You!

And She Turned And Walked Away 
With That Smile On Her Face!

You Should Have Seen Errol's Face!
You Ever Seen A White Black Man!?!

Can't Say That I Have!

Believe Me, Freddy, You Don't Want To!
Errol Looked Like He Was Ready To Dead! 
We All Thought He Was Going To Fall
And The Ambulance We'd Have To Call! 

So What Was The Final Disposition!?! 

After Errol Got Over His Shock
He Asked Us To Walk With Him
As He Followed Her To Their Home!

Wait!?! Wha' You Really Saying!?!

Errol And Evadney Are Married
But
They Were Unequally Yoked! 
She Serves The Lord
And
He Serves Himself ...! 

... Two Drinks Or More
And Then Behaves Like A Sore-Toothed Bore! 

She's Been Praying For Him For Years
And
He Knows It! 
He's Been Fighting Her For Years ...! 

... You Mean He's Been Resisting The Spirit Of Truth!

Well, Yes, But ...! 

... Oh, Lord, Spare Me From These Butting Goats! 

Look, You Two
He Can Run Only So Far From The Lord
Until He Must Make His Final Decision ...! 

... That's What He Cursed Her Out About! 
He Knows And He Recognises His Need Of The Savior
But
Satan Has His Hooks In Him Good! 

He Desires Freedom
But
He's Deathly Afraid! 

Afraid!?! Afraid Of What!?! 

He's Afraid Of Living The New Life
No More Spiritous Libation
No More Smoke-Filled Smelly Inhalation
No More Late-Night Lost-Souls Celebration
And
No More Base Word Postulations!

And, Furthermore
As He, Himself, Has Said 
He's Going To Have To Apologize
First ... To The Master
Then To His Beloved Wife 
Who Has Modeled In Her Person
The Life Of One Who Lives For Christ! 

Evadney Knows What Is Happening To Him
And
He Hears Her Petitions In His Behalf
And
He Knows He Is Going To Capitulate To The Lord Christ
Hence His Last Foray Into The Realm Not Nice! 

We Talked To Evadney ... Privately 
And 
She Told Us She Heard Him Crying And Praying
And
That Is Why She Responded As She Did:

Heaven And Hell Are Battling!

She Asked Us To Raise Him Up
To The Throne Of Grace
To Help Her Pray Him Into The Kingdom!

Alright!
I'm With You
And The Final Disposing Is In The Hands Of The Holy God! 

This Is Truly Good News
Despite His Off-Color Display! 

Indeed!
We See The Outward Appearance 
But
The Lord Of Love Sees Our ...! 

... Hurting, Longing, Struggling, Pleading Hearts!
I Pray That He Will Permit The Holy Spirit
To Safely Guide Him Into All Truth!
He Will Be Eternally Blessed!

AMEN!!!

PRAYER: We Are Yours, Lord!

Father,
I Love You!
I Bless You!
I Trust You!
Please Keep Me Walking True
So That I Do Not Turn Aside To Fables
And
Lose Faith's Sight Of Zion's Glorious View!


Please Help Me, I Beseech You
To Live In Jesus Christ's Faith
And
Not In Carnal Man's Eyesight
As That Which Inordinately Pleases
The Carnal Eye 

Will The Purchased Soul Blight!
I Desire Your Loving Heart To Delight!


Father, I Desire Also
To Fight The Good Of Faith
So That When The Lord Christ Shall Come
Be I Alive
Or Have Descended
Into The Dusty Bed
By The Voice Of The Archangel
By The Loud Trumpet Call
I Shall Rise Up
Absent The Effects Of The Fall!


You Are My Hope
My Joy
My Help
My Salvation!
Please Help Me Not To be Craven
And
Lacking Intestinal Fortitude

And
The Backbone Made Strong
By Imbibing Eternal Truth
Stoop Low
To Choose Man's Traditions In Worship

Over Sound Bible Doctrine!

Purge From Me, Lord
The Known Soul-Destroying Pharisee Leaven!
I Desire To Reach Home
Where Jesus Will Bid Me Welcome
To Enter By Right
Through The Gates Of Heaven!


Father,
I Pray For The Brethren Beloved
Many Of Whom Are Already Suffering Persecution
For Standing On The Rock Of Truth!
Please Grant Unto Them According To Need
The Humility Of Moses
The Persevering Strength Of Jacob
The Loving Heart Of David
The Zeal Of Elijah
The Faith Of Daniel

And
The Trust Of Job!


Please Help Them To Keep A Zion Song
In Their  Hearts

As They Go On The Lord's Errands!

Oh, Father,
There Is So Much Suffering
So Much Sorrow
So Much Hate
So Much Discontent
So Very Many Malcontents

Who Despise Law And Order
And
See No Rule That By The Sordid Will
Cannot Be Bent!

Please Protect The Innocent From The Guilty
The Weak From The Overbearing Strong
The Meek From The Fierce
The Righteous Man From The Irreligious
And
The Believing Faithful
From The Miasma Liberally Being Spread
By Those Bold Doubters!
Lord, Help
Or Else We Perish!

Please Keep Us Faithful
As We Toil Diligently In Your Loving Care
And
Bless Us With Endurance
Which Will See Us Ascending To Your Paradise
On The Great And Final Day!

Grant Unto Us Peaceful Rest
And
At The Dawn's Sight
A Restored To Health, Rejuvenated, Rising!

We Are Yours, Lord
And
It Is To You, Alone
In The Name Of The Beloved
The Holy Jesus
That We Make These Few Petitions!
Thanks For Hearing
And
Thanks For Answering Our Humble Prayer!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

"Last Day" Events!?! + PRAYER: I Am Yours, Lord!

The Question Was Asked:

What If Today
Was
The Last Day Of Your Life!?!



I Paused ... For Effect
And
I Thought ... Briefly
And
I Shouted ... In My Head:

Whenever Is The Last Day Of My Life

It Will Always Be A Today!

The Rest Of The Question Asked Was:

How Would You Be Prepared
To Spend  ... Eternity!?!



I Thought ... Long And Hard
And
I Am Thinking ... Still!

I Looked Within Me
And
I Looked Up ... To Him!

I Looked At Him ... My Jesus
And
Then I Saw Sin
The Filthiness Of Sin
The Sinner ... Me
Saved ... By His Sacrifice
His Grace ... Pledged 
To Be Sufficient ... For Me
And
In The Belief Of Saving Faith
Knowing That I Had Confessed My Known Sin
And
Was Willingly Walking With Him
In Accord
Hopeful ... Waiting
Watching ... Working
Praising ... Pleading
Worshipping ... Trusting
Following ... Obediently
Living For Him
And
Knowing, Knowing, Knowing
That I Can Be And Can Do Better
And
More ... For Him
I Prayed:

Father,

I Need You, Now, Here, Today!
In The Name Of Jesus, Fix Me
Lest I, Impatient, Stray!


I Could Ask For More Faith

But
That Leads To More Waiting
More Learning
More Need For The Enduring Spirit
And
I Decide, Lord
That I Am Yours!
In Whatever Way You Decide
I Will Follow You
For
I Must Get Home:
I Know That I Do Not Endure The Crucible Alone!
I Know That I Am Loved!
I Know That I Have Your Sure And Certain Care!


Help Me, Lord

When The Day Of Settlement Comes
To Be Ready
Slate ... Zeroed
Eye ... Cleaned
Ears ... Sharpened
Clothes ... White
Spirit ... Buoyed
Hands ... Outstretched
Heart ... Glad
Hope ... High
Faith ... Fixed
Doubts ... Dispelled
Courage ... Strong
Headed ... Home!


Help Me To Confess
And
Repent Of Known Sin

Every Single Day!
Help Me To Walk Humbly With You:
There Is, For Me, No Other Way!
Help Me To Tell Another The Good News Gospel!
Help Me To Stand Up For My Jesus
Who Laid Down His Life For Mine!
I Must Get Home!

Self-Talk And Introspection ...

I Considered My Gift Of Daily Faith
And
Daily Grace
And
I Know Of A Surety That I Am Inordinately Blessed!
I Am Going Home!
Even Now, I Am At Home ... In Jesus!

I Shall Be Spending Eternity With My Lord!
I Shall Enjoy His Eternal Life!
By The Holy Spirit's Leading
Guiding And Chiding
I Know There Will Be No Separation
Between My Lord And I!
I Am Going To Receive The Great Reward!

I Think, Again, Of How I Am Prepared
Preparing
To Spend Eternity!
I Am Preparing For The Eternity Of Peace
Because
I Have And Am Making Peace
With My King ... The Judge Of All Flesh!
He Is Preparing A Place ... In His Father's House
Just For Me!

JESUS CHRIST SAVES: Negotiations!?!

I Have A Story To Tell To The Nation
Which
You May Probably Find Hard To Believe!
The Lord Of Life, The Creator
The Redeemer, The Friend
Wants You To Forever Keep His Company!

He Promises A Place In His Father's Kingdom!
He Promises Eternal Life!
He Promises A New Name
And
A Gold Crown
And
Pleasures Forever The Redeemed Soul Delight!

What's The Catch!?!

No Catch!
He Says To Give Up All That Hurts
That Condemns
That Destroys
And
Give Unto Him Your Soul
Your Allegiance
Your Will, Your Way
And
Hold Him In Godly Fear
By Giving Up Known Sin
And
Faithfully Following Him!
He Wants To Be Your Everything!
He Desires To Be Your All And All!

All!?!
That's Kinda Steep!
Can We Negotiate With Him!?!

What Have You Got With Which To Negotiate!?!

He Wants Me So I've Got Me As A Bargaining Chip!

Soooo, Tell Me How You Intend To Make The Split!?!

Well, It's Like This:

I'm Valuable Because He Wants My Soul For His Own!

I'm Willing To Work With Him But ...!?!

Problem, My Friend!
He Does Not Do Buts!
It's All Or None!

Then I'd Say That He's Kinda Greedy, Even Unfair!
I'm Mine So I Should Decide How Much Of Me
I Feel Like Giving To Even The One
Who Says That He Is God Divine!

Friend,
You May Want To Tread Softly On Your Position!
He Is God Divine!
He Has Your Life In His Hands
And, Yet
He Is Willing To Permit You 
To Give Your Life Back To Him
In Exchange For Him Taking Eternal Care Of You
Even If, In This Life, You Die!

Live For Him!
Live In Him!
Die In And For Him
And
Rise Up And Live Forevermore With Him!

All It Takes Is A Willingness To Commit
To Bend
To Believe
To ...!

... Totally Surrender!?!

Yes, Indeed!

I Don't Surrender To Anybody
Not Even My Husband!

Would You Like To Explain What You Mean By That!?!

Sure, I Would!
The Day I Got Married
I Gave My Husband My All
And I Kept 10% For Myself
Just In Case He Decided To Be
A Skirt-Chasing Hopping Ball
And So That I Would Not Go Mad
If He Did!
He Did ... And I'm Sane!

Ahem, Ahem!

You Know That You Are Mad, Right!?!

Could You Imagine What Would Have Happened
If You Had Gone All In!?!

Sweetie, Lack Of Commitment Destroys!
Just As In Your Marriage
Same In Your Relationship With The Eternal God!

The Lord Desires Your All
Because
He Has Given For Us His All!
He Held Nothing Back
And
He Is Asking Us To Accept The Great Salvation
At Infinite Price Already Purchased!

Take Your Own Relationship As A Guide
And
Choose To Realize That
With Lack Of Complete Commitment
The Love Relationship Always Dies!

Jesus Died That We Might Live
And
He's Asking Us To Believe Him At His Word
So That We May Inherit All That He Has To Give!

Alright!
I'm Willing To Give 99.99995% Of Me To Him!

Sorry!
He Desires All!

Okay!
So What Else Can He Give Me
To Liberate My Desire To Totally Surrender!?!

Nothing!
He Gave All!
He Gives All!
He Is Giving All
And
He Wants ...!

...Yes, Yes, I Heard You Before!
He Wants All
And All I Want Is To Have
To Hold
To Retain A Lil' Something That Is Mine
For Own Myself!

Wow, That's Bold!
Your Loss!

For The Record ...

Look, Let Me Give You The Bottom Line:

Jesus Christ Desires To Give You Everything Good!
He Holds Your Life In His Hand!
He Gave Unto You, Already, Free Will And Free Choice!
He Died To Give You His Eternal Life!
He Desires That You Return Your Life, Willingly, To Him
To Be In His Service
To Follow Where He Leads
And
He Makes It Plain To All Who Will Hear
What The Options Are:

  • You're Either For Him Or Against Him!
  • You Either Want To Live Forever Or Your Plan To Die Forever!
  • You Either Choose To Submit Or Be A Rebel!


He Asks Politely For Your Cooperation With His Spirit!
He Could Force You To Submit
But
Thank God Almighty
He Never Will!

Where You Are, I Was
And
He Called Me!
I Answered
And
He Made His Life Or Death Submission:

Life With Him In Joy And Peace

In Eternal Bliss
** OR **
Life Without Him Which Is Life With Satan
And
The Spectre Of Sure And Eternal Damnation!

There Was No Hard Sell!
Just Straight Facts Ahead Of
The Deal's Consummation!
The Choice Was Mine!
The Choice, Now, Is Yours ... Alone
And
I Glad To Tell You That
Your One Good Bargaining Chip Is 

Father,

I Accept Your Good Gift!
Lead Me Because I Know You Love
And
Desire To Bless Me!
I Have No Desire To Live Without You
And
I Am Not Even Going To Try!
I Will Follow You Where You Lead!
I Will Go Where You Send!
I Will Worship You For You Are Worthy!
I Will Praise You For You Gave Me My Voice!
Lord, Fix Me
So That In The Coming Kingdom
In Your Holy Presence
I May Thankfully Rejoice!


Anything Less Is A Total Waste!


The Lord Will Give You His Sword ... His Word!
He'll Give You His Bow ... His Strength!
And
Best Of All
He'll Give You His Robe ... His Righteousness!

He's Giving You His Name ... His Character!
He's Giving You His Home ... His Kingdom!
He's Giving You Bread ... His Flesh!
He's Giving You Wine ... His Blood!
He's Giving You Oil And Water ... His Holy Spirit!
What More Can You Possibly Want!?!

I Surrender!
I Want Him ...!

... I Want His Life!

At Last!

We May Be Slow To The Dance
But With Understanding ...!

...We Sing The Acceptable Tune In Pitch-Perfect Tune!

Thank You, Jesus!
