LIFE HAS SNAKES: Choose Obedience Over Repentance!

 

The Lord Did Not Promise Us All-Day, Every-Day

Sunny Blue Skies

Roses-No Thorns

Gluttonous Feasts

No Work

No Sorrow

Fuzzy Sheep,

And 

No Wolves! 

Life Has Snakes! 

The Lord God Almighty Has Promised That 

Resisting Satan 

Is 

Profitable To Us! 

The Lord God Omnipotent 

Has Also Promised Us A ... The ... Comforter 

And

To Be With Us Always! 

Learn And Live ...

The Garden Of Eden Had A Beautiful Snake 

And

The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil 

Which Was To Be Avoided 

But

Was The Only Place That 

The Adversary Of Souls 

- The Piercing Serpent - 

Satan The Damned

Could Tempt Adam And Eve! 

Avoiding That Tree 

Was The Small Test Of Faith 

And 

Allegiance To The Creator-God! 

Beloved, 

The Tree Of Life ... Eternal Life

Was Also In The Garden

And

Easily Accessible 

And 

Free, Free, Free 

To Eagerly Eat From At Will 

And 

Be Ever Blessed! 

Don't Be Smart, Be Wise... 

Our Lives Are According To The Choices We Make: 

Choose Obedience Over Repentance! 

As Long As We Choose To Eat From The Tree Of Life

- The Word Of God - 

And 

Meet With The Lord In The Cool Of The Day Aka In Prayer 

And

Eagerly Call For 

And

Accept 

And

Allow Ourselves To Be Comforted 

And 

Taught By The Comforter

- The Holy Spirit Of Truth - 

Satan Can Have No Part In Us! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Forcefully Deny Each And Every One Of 

Our Common-To-All Temptations 

The Very First Time They Appear 

And 

Know Of A Surety That

You Will See Them No More! 

Good News ...

The Tree Of Life 

Is 

Still Here For Us: 

Gladly Eat Of 

And 

Ardently Trust 

The Living, Eternal, Faithful Word Of 

The Living God Of Glory Who Gives Grace

And

Shows Us Mercy! 

Live To Live ... Again!

Peace Cannot Be Bought!

Peace

Is

God's Personal Gift To Us! 

Faith Ain't Stuff And Grace Ain't Nonsense!

People Don't Sleep 

Because 

Many Ravenously Desire

- And Some Have Got -

Silver, Gold, Houses, Lands 

And

A Boatload Of Stuff And Nonsense 

To Occupy Their Minds, Hands And Time: 

They Are All Rich In Sin And Trespasses! 

Beloved, 

When We Come To Realize That 

We Are Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind And Naked

And 

Recognize That We Can't Help Ourselves 

And

Need The Thoughtful, Loving, Kind

Providential Care Of Our Creator-God 

And

Cry Out To Him In Our Distress

It Is Then That The Lord God Almighty

Mighty To Save

And

Strong To Bless

Is 

Able To Do A Good Work In Our Lives

Intimately, Individually And Personally! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Allow Silver And Gold To Testify Against You

In The Great Day Of Accounts!

Do Not Permit Covetousness, Pride And Greed 

To Stop You From Taking All That Concerns Your Life

Your Physical, Spiritual

And 

Emotional Well-Being 

To Almighty God In Heartfelt Prayer

Day By Day 

And 

Moment By Moment!

No Surprise ...

A Drowning Man 

Will Clutch At A Straw To Save Himself 

But

We Who Go To Jesus Christ To Be Saved 

Will Find That We Are Holding On To 

The Eternal Rock Of Ages 

Who Is Firmly Holding Us Securely! 

May The God Of Grace Help Us This Day 

To Get Our Priorities In Order 

By Our Humbly Placing Jesus Christ First 

In Everything That We Think, Say And Do 

So That We Are No Longer Rich In Sins And Trespasses 

But 

Humble And Faithful Before His Holiness! 

Never, Ever, Forget That God's Great Grace 

Is 

Always Sufficient For Us

And

For You ... Personally! 

Peace Be Unto You! 

Our Gifts Of Faith

And

Free Grace

Cost Our Father In Heaven

Everything That He Held Dear:

His Only Begotten Son!!

Faith, Like Love, Always Works!

We Lie Like Cheap Rugs 

When We Say That We Find No Use For Faith In Our Lives 

But

Dare To Bellow: 

"I Am A Christian!"

Beloved, 

A Committed Christian 

Is 

An Active, Working, Watching, Waiting

Light And Salt

Enduringly Faithful, Faith-Filled Member Of 

"The Household Of Faith!" 

Without Faith

It Is Impossible To Please Almighty God! 

Unfailing Faith 

Is 

Jesus Christ's Daily Gift To Each Of Us 

So, The Question Must Be Asked: 

"How Do We Expect

To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith 

If We See No Use For Jesus' Faith

In Our Daily Lives!?!" 

If Faith Without Works Is Dead

What Would You Call Working 

And 

Living For Jesus Christ 

Without Having The Faith Of 

And 

Faith In Jesus!?! 

Obviously, Without Having A Use For Faith 

In Our Daily Practice Of Christ's Christianity

We Are, Open-Eyes-Closed, Dripping Blood

Foolishly Choosing To Go Into A No-Holds-Barred

Winner-Take-All Battle Against Satan 

And 

The Legion Of Doom 

Who Have Nothing To Lose! 

Note To File ...

There Will Be No Fools In God's Kingdom! 

There Will Be No Faithful Saints Of God And Christ In Hell! 

Encourage Yourself ...

Accept, Appreciate, Open 

And 

Use Today's Gift Of Faith 

And 

Be Blessed By All That 

Utilized-Faith Can Accomplish In Your Life Today! 

Faith, Like Love, Always Works! 

Peace With Jesus Christ

... Almighty God Made Flesh ...

Requires

The Foundation Called Faith!

LET YOUR SLEEP BE SWEET: Ears Are Not Cosmetic!

All Who Are Not Deaf Can Hear! 

All Who Are Attentive Will Listen To Understand! 

All Who Are Obedient 

Because 

Of Faith 

And 

Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord 

Will Regard Aka Give Heed To The Instructions Given 

And 

Walk Wisely In The Sight Of The Lord! 

Beloved, 

Liars Have To Play Hide And Seek With Memory 

To Always Remember Their Latest Fiction! 

Thieves Always Invest In Metal Bars, Locks And Bolts 

But

The Righteous, The Honest

The True To Almighty God

Speak Truth

Do Right

Are Loving, Kind, Giving

Given To Hospitality

And 

Have That Meek And Gentle Spirit 

Against Which There Is No Law! 

Along With That

Because 

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Glory

The Good Shepherd

Is 

Their Guardian, Guide And Protection

Their Sleep Is Sweet

Their Heart Is At Rest

Their Thoughts Are In And Of Heaven 

And

All Is Well In Their World 

Even Though The Earth Is Heaving

And 

The Sky Is Falling! 

We Are Blessed, Sheltered, Provided For 

And 

Protected 

When We Trust In Our Lord With All Our Strength 

And 

Walk Enduringly ... Faithfully

In The Will Of Our Father 

Who Is On His Great White Throne In Heaven! 

Let Us Be Truly Wise

Even Unto The Saving Of Our Soul

And

Let Us Entrust The Care 

And 

Keeping Of Our Hearts To God 

So That All Is Well With Our Souls! 

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear: 

Love The Lord Wholly!

Stop Stifling Your Blessings! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Help Us To Stop Robbing Ourselves ...!

 

 

How Often Have We Said In Our Own Hearts 

And

Into The Ears Of Others That 

The Lord Doesn't Answer Our Prayers!?! 

Beloved, 

Now Is The Perfect Time 

To Take A Personal Inventory Of Cause And Effect 

And

Cease From Maligning The Name Of God 

For Our Cock-Ups! 

When We Cherish Malice 

And 

Self-Righteously 

Indulge Unforgiveness In Our Hearts Against Others

Our Prayers Become An Abomination To The Holy God 

And

We Personally Hinder Our Sought-After Blessings 

From Being Poured Out! 

When We Say The Lord's Prayer 

Asking The Lord To Forgive Us Our Debts 

As We Forgive Our Debtors

We Receive Exactly What We Ask For 

According To The Condition Of Our Hearts! 

The Heart Of Faith 

Emulates Christ In His Earthly Sojourn! 

Faith ... Which Is Tied To Love

Does Not Desire Its Own Way 

And

Neither Does It Bear Malice 

And

Cherish Unforgiveness By Indulgence! 

We Are All Guilty Before The Holy God 

But

We Can Be Made Clean! 

We Need The Abundant Good Blessings Of Holiness 

From The Hand Of The Living God 

- Whom We Seek To Diligently Serve -

So Please Let Us Cast Our Burdens Upon The Lord

- Our Burden-Bearer -

And

Plead To Be Blessed ... To Be Blessings! 

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 

Please Forgive  Us

And

Cleanse Us 

And

Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit Upon Us

Even As We Repent

And

Confess Our Known Sin! 

Father, 

You Have Told Us In The Great Law

"Thou Shalt Not Steal!" 

And 

We Wax Poet Telling All Who Will Listen

How Moral And Holy And Obedient We Are

When We Daringly Execute

Day And Nightime Robberies

Against Our Own Souls

When We Ask A Blessing Of You

And

At The Same We Hold Grudges

Bear Malice

And

Practice Unforgiveness In Our Hearts

And Thereby 

Personally Rob Our Own Selves

Of

Your Good And Perfect Gifts

Already Packaged And Wrapped

Labeled And Shipped

But

Rendered Undeliverable

Because Of Our Foul Spirit 

Boldly Blocking Our Windows And Doors 

To Your Beautiful And Bountiful Gifts Of Love, Light 

And

Blessings Unimaginable! 

Pity Us, Lord! 

Heal Our Hurts And Our Hearts!

Hold Our Heads And Our Hands

And

Help Us To Surrender All That

Separates Us Sinners From You

The Holy God Of Mercy, Goodness And Grace

And

Also Help Us To Seek After All The Beauty That 

Comes Of Living In The Light Of Love And Holiness! 

Please Pity Us: Hear Our Heartfelt Prayer! 

Please Help Us To Stand Firm In Saving Truth

And 

Walk In The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

Please Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We, Convicted Of Sin

And

Convinced Of Righteousness 

Humbly, Willing To Be Saved, Plead! 

We Love You, Lord!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Strong In The Lord!

 

The Lord Equips The Called! 

We Are Called To Exercise Our Gift Of Faith 

And

Now Is Not The Time 

To Start Doubting The Faith Of Jesus Christ: 

It Cannot Fail! 

Beloved, 

We Are All In Need Of A Confidence-In-Christ Booster 

And

We Need Look No Further Than The Word Of Truth: 

It Cannot Fail! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The First Begotten Of The Dead! 

Jesus Christ ... Almighty God In The Flesh

Who Dwelt Amongst Us

And 

Died Amongst Us

And 

Was Buried Amongst Us

Did The Impossible! 

Jesus Christ ... Our True And Faithful King 

Caused Cruel Death To Give Living Birth 

And

Hallelujah, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

This Same Jesus Who Reigns And Rules In Beautiful Zion 

Is

Going To Make Death Give Birth 

To So Many Babies Of Christ's Love That 

Cold Death Is Going To Die The Everlasting Death 

Never To Be Seen In Almighty God's New Creation! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Creator 

And

Our Recreator 

If

We Choose To Enduringly Live 

By His Daily Gift To Us Of His Holy Faith! 

Heaven Is His Throne 

And

Earth Is His Footstool

And

Any Sorrow, Shame

Sickness, Guilt

Demonic Force

Or Distasteful Desire Hanging Over Our Heads 

Is

Most Assuredly

Under Our Living God's Feet! 

Look Up To Jesus ... And Live: 

Our God Is Able 

And 

Ready To Save Us! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ Saves

Protects

Provides

Preserves

And

Pursues Us

And

If And When Necessary

Punishes Us For Our Good

To Preserve Us In His Peace

And

To Get Us Home To His Perfect Paradise! 

The Peace Of The Lord Christ

Is

Perfection

And

Protection!

The Light Of Life

The Light Of The World

The Hope Of Every Man, Woman, And Child! 

Beloved, 

The Old Year 

Is 

In The Departure Lounge Leaving Time

And

Is Headed For Eternity

Never To Pass This Way Again!

 

What Has Been Done Can't Be Undone 

But

By Almighty God's Great Grace 

And

With Spared Lives

- By Confession And True Heart Repentance - 

Mistakes And Missteps Can Be Corrected: 

Fix Them! 

What Unkind And Hurtful Words Have Been Spoken 

Cannot Be Unsaid 

But

Like Any Bad Laws Of A Country

They Can Be Amended: 

Apologize

And 

Don't Repeat Them! 

Choose To Change Your Thoughts 

And Thereby

Change Your Words 

And 

Your Actions! 

The New Year Is Drawing Nigh! 

Let's Not Indulge In The Ineffective 

"New Year, New Rules" Last A Week Nonsense! 

Let's Get Serious About Living The Life Of Christ 

Aka Living Our Lives For Christ 

Which Shall Surely Overflow 

Into How We Live With Our Fellowmen! 

Do To And For Others

What You Personally Desire 

To Have Done To You

And 

For Yourself! 

Pray! 

Talk Is Cheap! 

Whiskey Is Expensive! 

Truth Is Free! 

Pray Without Ceasing!

Exercise Your Faith! 

Pray With Passion!

Pray For Power!

Jesus Christ

Is 

Our Answer: 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 

Peace Be Upon You All! 

Live With A Light Touch!

A Christian Desirous Of 

And 

Avidly Seeking After The Easy Life 

On Colorful, Brightly Lit 

And 

Always Entertaining Broadway

Is 

A Sweet Treat 

And 

A Cheap Play-Thing For That Damned Satan! 

As Committed Christians

We Have Been Told 

And 

Have Had This Truth Repeated For Us To Gain Wisdom 

- Foresight To Operate 

And 

Insight To Maneuver -

So That We Do Not Have To Suck On 

Hindsight's Tailpipe Of Regret 

As We Vainly, Bitterly Utter: 

"Woe Is Me! 

I Could Have! 

I Would Have! 

I Should Have

But 

I, Disobedient, Did Not!" 

Beloved, 

We Know For A Fact That Anything In This Life That 

Is 

Truly Worth Possessing 

Comes At A Great Cost

Be It Blood, Sweat, Tears, Friends

Family ... Or Funds! 

Brethren, 

The Life Of Christ Shows Us 

What It Cost Almighty God

Father, Son And Holy Ghost

- In The Personal Sacrifice Of The Only One Innocent - 

To Gift To Us New Life ... Eternal Life

A Future 

And 

An Expected End Of Peace 

And 

Joys Forever! 

Beloved, 

Accepting And Holding The Blessed Gift 

Is 

Going To Cost Us Everything That Is Earthy! 

Please Live With A Light Touch 

And 

An Even Lighter Hold On Earth's Goods! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Carnal Pleasure And Ease 

Will Never Satisfy Our Hungry Souls: 

Look Up To Jesus Christ Always

And

In All Ways

And

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Obedience

To The Immutable Truth

Pays

Eternal Dividends! 

TWILIGHT ZONE: Christian Complacency!?!

How Are You Standing, Walking, Talking

And 

Behaving As A Christian!?! 

Have You Forsaken The Committing Of Sin 

And

Are Feeling Quite Self-Satisfied 

Or

Are You In That Twilight Zone 

Where You Are Guilty Of Not Doing 

What Is Good And Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Every One Of Us Who Names The Name Of Jesus Christ 

Must Guard Against Complacency

And 

Feeling All Proud Of Ourselves 

Because 

We Are Not Active Participants Being Lawless 

And 

Transgressing The Laws Of The Holy God! 

Wake Up! 

We Are In More Danger From Committing The Sins Of Omission

- Of Not Doing Right - 

And 

That Is Exactly Where The Adversary Of God

The Adversary Of Our Own Souls 

Wants Us To Get Comfortable 

Both Day And Night! 

Doing Wrong ... And Not Doing Right 

Makes Us All Ready For The Burn-Barrel 

Which Makes Satan Very Happy 

And 

Christ Jesus Very Sad! 

Knowing Right 

And 

Deliberately Doing Wrong 

Is 

The Sin Of Presumption! 

Doing Neither Right Nor Wrong 

Is 

The Sin Of Neglecting The Great Salvation 

For Which There Is No Possible Excuse! 

What Must Be Done Should Be Done! 

Doing Otherwise 

Marks Us As Being Among Those Fools Who Say That 

There Is No Living, Holy, God! 

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Sure And Secure Salvation

And

Choose To Be

And

Be Gloriously Blessed!

Satan Does Not Feed: He Steals!

Do Not Permit Him

- Or His Wage Slaves -

To Rob You Of The Good And Heavenly Food 

Provided Free And Abundantly

To Whosoever Will

And

The Blessings Personally Purchased For You

At Infinite Cost

By Our Own Creator, Savior, Lord, God 

And

Soon Returning King! 

Don't Run With The Lost Cause Brigade! 

THE EXCHANGE AND THE ELEVATOR: Cherish Your Neck!

 

There's The Expression: 

"Ef De Head Bad

De Whole Body Bad!" 

If We Indulge In Stinking Thinking

It Stands To Reason That The Body

- Permanently Fixed To The Head -

Goes Where The Head Leads! 

In Between The Head And The Body

Is 

The Long, Short

Fat Or Thin Neck That We Shall Call 

The Exchange 

And 

The Elevator! 

If We Remove The Head From The Neck

The Body Dies! 

If We Remove The Body From The Neck

The Body Dies! 

Beloved, 

To The Committed Christian

Jesus Christ, The Creator

Is 

The Head Attached To The Body 

By The Neck Called Grace! 

To Jesus Christ

The Body Is Us ... His Church

Connected To Him By The Neck Called Faith! 

Grace Coming Down The Neck 

Is 

Expansive, Wide, Deep

To Cover All Of Us 

- Each One Personally - 

In Every Need! 

Faith Going Up To Jesus 

Is 

A Narrow Beam 

And 

Does Not Allow For Vain Philosophy

Wayward Thinking

Disobedience

Willful Sins

Unbelief

Disbelief

Doubt Or Gainsaying! 

Guard Your Heart: Save Your Faith! 

Brethren, Beloved

Our Jesus Christ 

Is 

In His Glory 

And 

It Is Only By His Grace 

Through The Exercise Of 

His Gift To Us Of His Faith ... To Get To Glory

That We Shall Get To Glory!

Cherish Your Neck! 

Greedily Grab And Hold Grace 

And 

Boldly Use Aka Exercise Faith! 

By Working Faith

Endure All Things In Order To Reach 

The Golden Shore!
