Without Faith
It Is Impossible To Please Almighty God! 
Without Faith
We Cannot Be At Peace With God! 
Without The Hearing Of The Word Of God
We Cannot Have Faith! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Holy Word Made Flesh 
And 
He Being The Giver Of Every Good Gift
Gives Unto Each Man, Woman And Child
A Daily Ration Of Faith To Use Each Day 
With No Carrying Forward! 
Faith Is For The Day! 

Strength Is For The Way That
You Are Called Upon To Walk! 

Faith 
Is 
A Wrapped Gift! 
To Know What Is The Content Of 
Our Personal Gift Of Faith 
We Must Dare To Unwrap That Daily Gift ... Daily!

You Know What Faith Is
But You Need To Use Your Faith
To Know What It Is That
Your Exercised Faith In Christ Can Do! 

Brethren,

Great Blessings Await The Trusting
And
We Must Choose To Use Our Faith 
If 
We Are To Gain The Blessings Generously Promised 
And 
Abundantly Provided! 

Faith ... Utilized Faith 
Is 
The Victory Which Overcomes This Sinful World
So Let's Energetically Take Our Faith ... For Today
With Head, Heart, Hand, Body, Mind, And Spirit 
And 
Work It To Death! 

Let Us Cast Caution, Aka Doubt, To The Curb 
And 
Let Us Whole-heartedly Trust ... Have Faith ... In God 
For All Our Needs! 

Beloved, 

I Implore Us All To Remember 
To Pray According To The Will Of God 
As Enumerated In The Holy Word 
And 
To Know That By So Doing
That All Will Be Well! 

Neither God Nor His Word Can Change
So Follow The Word ... Follow Christ Jesus
And 
Walk In Faith
And 
Be At Peace!

The Master Says
To Not Be Anxious
For Anything!

He Who Promises Is Faithful To His Word
And
His Word Makes It Plain That
He Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us! 
Please Walk With Christ Jesus
For He Is Light! 

Let Us Choose To Reject Lying Eyesight! 
Let Us Choose To Exercise Holy Faith Which Cannot Fail
And
Let Us Choose To Live In The Light That 
Blesses The Believing Child Of The Father
And
Illuminates The Way To Everlasting Life! 

Yesterday Is History!
Today Is A Gift
And
Tomorrow Is Not Promised
So Choose Life ... Today!

Remember, Beloved

Jesus Christ Alone Saves! 
Jesus Doesn't Ask Every Person To Manufacture His Own Faith! 
He, Being The Giving God Holy, Faithful And Ever True
Gives Unto Each One Of Us 
A Measure Of His Illimitable Supply
And
He Asks 
And 
He Expects 
His Believing Children
To Step Up To The Trial Of Faith
And
Stand Up
Walk On
And
Rest In
His Unfailing Gift! 

Jesus Christ Is Not A Mortal Man Who Lies! 
Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Eternal One
The Almighty God
The Lord Who Blesses
The Master Who Serves
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Prince Of Peace
Our Hope, Our Help
And
Our Only Salvation! 
He Is Our Relief And Our Release! 
He Is Our Soon-Returning King! 
Believe On Him By Working Your Gift Of Faith
And
Be Forever Blessed!

Someone Is Praying For You!

THE CHOICE WEAPON: Reason With The Lord!

Satan, The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Has An Arsenal Of Weapons At His Ready Disposal! 
He Doesn't Need A Research And Development Department
Because
He Is The Death-Dealer Of Old!
He Is The Weapon Sharp And Cold
And
If You Believe For A Mere Moment That
Against Him, You Shall Surely Stand
Consider Who It Is That He First Stood Against
And
Take Your Place At The Throne Of Grace
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 
The Son Of God
Our Creator-God
The Beloved Son Of Man! 

Even Though Satan ... That Piercing Serpent
Was Roundly Defeated
He Learnt One Very Special Thing


- Almighty God Loves Us Sacrificially -
And
To "Save" Face
And
Defend The Indefensible
He Devised Several Weapons That Against Man
Will Always Work
If
We Are Not Confessed And Repented
And
Prayed Up And Pardoned
Sheltered And Protected
By Jesus Christ
Our Loving Savior, Lord, And Eternal God! 

A Choice Weapon Of Satan
Is
That Ugly Dart Called Accusation!

For Real!
He Accuses And We "Must" Defend!

It's Just Like That Movie
Called "I Know What You Did Last Summer!"

I Hope You Guys Know That
Satan Encourages You To Sin
But
He Can't Make You Sin!
FYI: He Is The One Who Rats You Out To The Lord!

And

He Is The Very One
- Even After You Confess And Repent Of Your Known Sin
And
Have Been Forgiven By The Just, Faithful, One -
Who Takes Perverse Pleasure
In Reaping Up Old Deads
And
Throwing The Dust Of Past Deeds In Your Ashamed Face!

Jesus Christ's Forgiveness ... To Us
Is
"Yes, Lord!" And "AMEN!"
We Have A Choice:
Believe God And Walk With Faith In Humble Dignity
Or
Believe The Artful Liar
The Deceiver
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Piercing Serpent
And
Doubt Our God Holy
And
Become Weighted Down With Non-Existent Sin!
It's Always A Choice Thing!

Remember The Sea Of
Almighty God's Forgetfulness!

On Another Ever More Pertinent Note
Have You Accepted 
And
Made Full Use Of Your Invitation!?!

What Invitation!?!

I Didn't Get Any Invitation!

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!
You All Are Getting Really Careless
When It Is Time To Get Real And Conscientious
Meticulous 
And 
Ever On Target!

Simple Faith 
And 
Unquestioning Obedience 
Are Required Attributes Of Character 
If 
We Are To See Jesus Christ In Peace! 

Jesus Calls To Us Saying: "Come Now!" 
Obey Now! 

Jesus Says: "Let Us Reason Together!" 
Reason Is A Two-Way Street! 
Cooperate Fully 
And 
Communicate Gladly! 

Our Lord Jesus Has Made A Promise Of 
Total Cleansing From Sin 
And 
He Will Do All That He Says He Will Do For Us Believers!
In Faith
Let Him Personally, Abundantly, Bless You! 

Mustard Seed Faith Moves Real
And 
Even Supposed, Mountains! 
Unholy Doubt Decimates! 

Working Faith Elevates! 
Doubt Condemns ... And Damns! 

Exercised Faith Is Trust ... Is Praise 
And
Willing Obedience 
Is 
Heartfelt Worship 
And 
The Accepted 
And 
Utilized Word Of Truth 
Sets The Willing Soul Free! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That 
Our Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Friend
And
God Almighty!
Exercise Your Gift Of Faith
Trust Him Wholly
And 
Enduringly Obey! 
Infinite Blessings Unimaginable Await Us!

Remember ... Always Remember, Beloved 
Jesus Christ, Alone
Is 
Our Peace! 
Let Us Depart This Place In Peace
To Love And Serve Our Lord!

AMEN!!!

Know Jesus Christ
Your Only Savior
To Counteract Satan
Your Sworn Enemy!

IN TIME OF CRISIS: Remember Whose You Are! + PRAYER: Father, Please Rebuke The Devourer!

Image result for psalm 126:3 kjv



There Is Nothing That We Are
Will Be, Have, Or Will Receive That 
Cannot Be Laid At The Feet Of Our Lord
The King, Our Creator, Savior
Provider, Sustainer, Redeemer, Jesus Christ! 

In This Time Of Crisis
Let Us Remember Whose We Are
And 
Let Us Prayer In Faith ... Nothing Wavering
For Relief, For Release
For Blessing
For Health, For Cure 
And
For Salvation: The Devourer Is Raging Against Us!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 
Merciful, Giving, Loving, Gracious God
Have Mercy Upon Us! 
We Cannot Help Ourselves, Nor Others
Without Your Blessing! 

Father, 
We See Our Need 
And
With Humility
We Come Boldly To Your Throne 
Seeking The Help You Promised To Provide! 

We Sin Against You
By Thought, Word And Deed,
And We Confess Our Sins 
And The Sins Of Our Nation
And We Repent
And Turn To You
In The Name Of The Beloved Jesus 
So That We May Be Saved
And
Blessed Into The Living Kingdom! 

Please Rebuke The Devourer! 
Please Forgive Our Sins
And
Please Heal Our Land 
For You Are Almighty God
And
Well Able! 
We Praise And Worship You! 

We Thank You For Hearing
And
Answering The Pray Of Faith:
You Asked Us To Pray And Not Faint! 
We Believe, Lord!
Please Rid Us Of Unbelief! 

We Love You! 
Please Grant Us These Few Petitions
In Jesus Christ's Great Name, We Plead! 
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near ...! 

... And He Will Be On Time 
Because 
He Is The On-Time God! 
He Is Faithful To His Every Word: 
He Cannot Lie, Nor Deny Himself! 

Brethren, 

Keep Living In Hope
And
Keep Your Hope For Heaven Alive! 
Jesus Christ Ever Lives
And
He Always Saves!

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH: Dare To Be Brave!



Image result for psalm 125:1 kjv



Are You Safe!?! 
Do You Know That You Are Safe 
Under The Banner Of The Almighty God 
Or 
Are You Trusting The Say-So
The Personal Experience Of Another Person 
To Know That You Are Safe In The Lord Christ
The Eternal King
The Faithful And Just Judge!?! 

All Who Enter The Kingdom Of Glory 
Will Have Their Own, Personal, Relationship With Jesus
Will Know What He Says
Will Eagerly Do His Will
And 
Will Walk Wisely, From Grace To Glory
Because 
They Know The Voice Of Christ Jesus
Have Made An Unshakeable Commitment To Him
And 
Walk With Assurance In His Word ... According To His Will 
Because Of 
Love, And Real Trust! 
Trust In The Lord 
And 
Be As Mount Zion 
For There Is Where You Shall Eternally Abide! 

Work Your Faith, Experience Life In Christ Here 
And 

Be Blessed Forever With Life With Christ In Zion! 

The Facts Remain ...

We Who Call Ourselves Christians
Have Got To Take A Stand
And
Let The Whole World Definitively Know That
We Are Committed Followers Of
The Son Of The Eternal Holy God
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Loving Son Of Man!

It Is Getting Toward Crunch Time
And Therefore
Not Time To Grow Weary, Be Afraid, Or Faint
Because
It Is Time To Wear The Whole Armor Of God
As Befits His Living Saints!

You Know Truth: Live It!
You Know The Holy Way: Walk Boldly On It!
You Are A Lamp: Burn Brightly!
Brethren,
It Is Time To Awaken From Sleep
You Who Are Jesus Christ's Faithful Lambs And Sheep!

You Are Not Forsaken: Trust The Promise!
Holy Angels Are Protecting You: Be Brave!
Now Is Not The Time To Be A Doubter
Or To Revert To Being A Sin-Slave!

We Have Perfect Peace!
We Have Available Grace!
We Have Mercy Ever Free
And
We Do, Indeed, Have The Perfect Love Of Our King Jesus
Who To The Father's House Of Joys Forevermore And Rest
Is
The Sure ... The Only ... Key!

Jesus Christ Does For Us What No Created Hand Can
So Dare To Be Brave
And
Reach For The Extended Holy Hand
Which Is So Scarred And So Gentle
Which Is Sheltering Strong
Which Was Extended, Pinned, For Our Salvation
Where For Us Sacrificial Love Is Always Found!
In His Embrace, We Belong!

Dare To Be Brave!
Dare To Hope And Trust!
Dare By Faith To Endure What Must Come
And
Know For A Surety
In The Glad Throng At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Surely Be Found!

Jesus Christ Saves!

COUNTING COUP: Counting Costs

The Lord Chose Me
So I Choose The Lord
And
By His Great Grace
I Shall No More Associate With The God-Fraud!

Jesus Christ Made Sacrifices
To Make It Possible For Me ... For Us
To Appear Before The Throne Of Grace
But
Before That Will Benefit Us
We Must Give Up Everything
That Engenders Our Disgrace!

Everybody Loves To Prate About Winning
About Their Counting Coup
But
I Suggest To Us, Dear Brethren
That Counting Costs 
Would Be Better For Me, For You!

Sacrifice Is A Bad, Bad, Word
According To Those Who Know Not Christ
And
These Are The Very Ones Who Reject Introspection 
And
Fall For The Always Charming
Demonic Device!

What Is Counting Coup!?! 

Good Question! 
Counting Coup Is Tallying One's Victories Over A Personal Enemy
At The Risk Of Injury Or Death! 
Problem Is That Many In The Mortal Strife 
Believe That That Works With Satan!
They "Play" His Game 
And 
Don't See Visible Injury Or Suffer Immediate Death 
So They Dare To Think That They Have Won Something! 

Self-Deceived Is The Worst Kind Of Deception! 

Willful Ignorance Leads To The Lasting Curse!

Jesus Christ Had To Die To Save All Mankind
So What Makes Us Think That 
We Wouldn't Have To Definitely Die To Self 
And 
Decidedly Die To Sin
If We Are To Enter The Living Kingdom!?! 

Brethren, 

Jesus Christ 
And 
Personal Sacrifice Are Synonymous! 
We Are Regenerated Christians
And
The Regenerated Christian 
And 
Personal Sacrifice Should Also Be The Same! 

That Is A Hard Saying: Who Can Bear It!?! 

Since You Ask
Jesus Christ Is Blunt About It:

Image result for luke 14:28 kjv



Travelling To Heaven 
Is Not 
Cheap Or Easy! 
Costs Are Incurred 
And 
Expenses Must Be Paid
But 
Not With Man-Generated Currency! 

We Who Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ 
Must Choose To Endure All Things
And
Give Up Everything
If 
We Will Enter The Holy City! 

Everything!?! 

Everything!
Every Single Solitary Thing As In
Possessions, Position, Property
Privileges, Passions, Pursuits
Progenitors ... And Progeny!
It Has All Got To Be Given The Kibosh! 
We've Got To Let It All Go! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Jesus Christ
Gave Up Glory
The Loving Community Of His Father 
And 
The Heartfelt, Constant, Adoration Of The Holy Angels
His Crown
His Throne
And
His Very Life's Blood
To Purchase For Us The Pardon That Leads To Eternal Life
And 
There Will Be No Doubters
No Fence Jockey 
Nor Wafflers In Heaven! 

Beloved,

Turning Back, For Us, Is Not An Option: Heaven Is Home! 
We Have Joys Forevermore To Enjoy 
So Giving Up What Will Burn Is Necessary:
We Can't Have Both! 

We Must Commit Wholly To Christ Jesus 
To Be Eternally Blessed! 
Without This, We Will Not Know Everlasting Peace! 
To Gain The Hereafter
The Fleetings Thing Of The Here And Now Must Be Released!
From Sin And Self, We Must Cease!

Faith, Beloved
Is 
The Victory Which Overcometh The World!
Your Daily Gift Of Daily Faith ... Utilized
Pays The Daily Operating Costs 
For Heaven To Be Realized!
Work Your Faith
And
Your Faith Will Work!
Think About It ... And Decisively Act
And
Don't Look Back!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYING: The Way To Life

Preparing For Duty
And
Marked For Trial
- Being Informed Of The Dire Necessity Of Prayer -
Sought Assistance At Divine Support
A Subsidiary Of Amazing Grace Now
And
Surpassing Glory To Come! 

Wanting To Become Aka To Be Transformed Into 
Braced For Duty
And
Prepared For Trial
These Two Humbled Themselves
Watching And Praying
Praying Without Ceasing
And
In All Things By Prayer And Supplication
They Made Their Requests Unto
The True And Living God
In Their Lord Christ's Holy Name!

They Wanted The Benefits Of 
The Close, Personal, Relationship With Savior Of Man 
So They Adhered To 
And 
Met The Conditions Publicly Enumerated
And
With Working Faith
And
Living Hope 
They Fully Expect To Reap 
The Promised Immeasurable, Known-Eternal, Benefits!

Truth Be Told ... 

The Road Is Long, Narrow, Strait Aka Difficult
But
Glory Be To Jesus
That Same Road Is Straight
Because
The Map-Maker Is True, Faithful, Kind, Blessing, Giving
And
Forgiving!
He Is The All-Knowing One
And
He Is The Forever Friend
Who Heals Hurts
And
Mends Hearts And Lives!
With Him, They Choose To Abide!

Abide ... That's A Pretty Strong Word!

Indeed!
It's The Perfect Word!
To Abide, To Rest, To Be Safe
Sheltered, Protected, Provided For!

I Like It!

Along The Way, They Met Pray So Little
And
So Little Faith!
It Did Not Go Well!
They Refused To Let Prideful Self Get In Their Way
Of Moving From Certain Hope
To Assured Glory!
They Preferred Profitable Prayer To Unprofitable Pride!
They Understood ... Understand That 
To Live With Pride
Is 
To Live A Bold
And
Their Faith In Lord Christ Was Not Having It!

Amazing, Isn't It
When We Want What The Lord Has To Give
But Have No Pressing Desire
To Humbly Pray So That We May Receive 
The Available-For-The-Asking Blessing!

Don't Forget Being Stuck On Self The Sinner ...!

... And Don't Forget The Attitude Of
It'll Be There If ... Or When ... I Need It!

Been There, Done That, Foolish Indeed!

All I'm Saying Is That
We All Could Learn A Thing Or Three
From Good King David! 

I Hear That! 
He Knew How To Pray And ...! 

... He Also Knew How To Confess And Repent 
And 
To Give His God His Due And Necessary Praise! 

Listen To This:


Image result for psalm 66 18-20



King David Knew His Prayers Were Accepted
Because 
He Knew He Met The Conditions
And
In Gratitude, For Faith, In Need
And
To Give Worshipful Praise
He Prayed Continually! 

Brethren, 

Praying Is Not A Panic Button 
To Be Used Only In Cases Of Emergency! 

To The Committed-To-Christ Christian
Praying Is To Be The Reason For Living
The Way To Life
The Umbilical Cord That Connects Us To Our Lord
Our Creator-God, Our Redeemer, Our Provider
And 
Is To Be A Constant
Our Go-To ... Our Default Position
In All Things In Our Sojourn In This Life! 

Pray Without Ceasing 
Is Not 
A Challenge: It Is A Command! 

Pray, Beloved! 
Roundly Reject Sin! 
Utter Honest Praise! 
Give Heartfelt Thanks
And 
Be Truly Grateful! 

To Remember How To Pray To Our Father In Heaven
Remember The ACTS: 
Adoration
Confession
Thanksgiving
Supplication Aka Ask For What You Need

And 

Do All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
Our Almighty God Is The God Holy:
Take Your Faith To The Throne!
