PROFIT And LOSS: Insight And Foresight!! + Prayer

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up This World Now
To Gain Heaven Later
I Also Get The Earth Made New ... Later
AND
I Get Both ... Forever!

My Present Loss By Foresight
IS
My Eternal Gain

By Blessed Insight!

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up Heaven Later
To Get The World Now
I Lose Forever ... Forever
AND
My Now Has No Later!

My Present Gain
IS
My Eternal Loss

BECAUSE

Insight Was Rejected

AND

Foresight Studiously Ignored!

I Don't Know About You, But ... 

By Faith

AND 
In Certain Hope
I Lose To Gain!

Let Me Put It Another Way:

My Mother Gave Me A Large
Heavy
Gaily Decorated Fruit Basket ... With Extras!
It Was A Delight To My Thirsty Eyes

AND

Carnal Heart!

My Basket Contained

- Amongst Other Things - 
A Blank Check
AND
A Bearer Bond
A Hand Of Bananas
A Cluster Of Grapes
A Dozen Oranges
Nine Mamie Apples
Six Star Fruit
Three Avocados
One Pawee Mango
A Deed To A Candy Factory
AND
A One-Way Ticket To
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
In That Beautiful Land
- That Tries Men's Souls  -
Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

She Then Calmly Said:

When (No If) You Get Into Trouble
Have A Difficulty
Need A Friend
Desire To Truly Get Ahead
Want To Get Home
Require Good And Sound Advice
Need A Forever Blessing
Or
Just Want To Talk
Call Your Father! 

He'll Always Answer!

Listen, Listen, Listen To Your Father! 

She Then Put Me Out Of Her House
Threw A Suitcase Behind Me
AND
Shouted:

That Is What Your Father Left For You!

I Missed My Duhduh! 

I Sat On The Sidewalk
Stunned
Slightly Bewildered
BUT
Thoroughly Excited For, Well
ADVENTURE!!

I Was Free To Be ... Me, Me, Me, MEEEE!!! 

Truth Be Told ... 

I Wasn't Quite Ready To Be A Pop-Kite Just Yet

Soooo

I Called My Granny, Watch N. Pray!

Of Calling On The Living God

She Does Not Miss A Way

Nor A Day!

Long Short Story Short ...

I Moved Into My Granny's House
Next Door To Willful Blindness
And Across From Belief S. Belief
And Perpendicular To Truth N. Error!

Behind The House

And A Ways From The Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Was Stradling D. Fence

The Lineman

AND

Next To Him Was Wild N. Free

The Graphic Artist

Who Was Rearing A Free-Range Child Called

Tek A. Knee!

When I Was Settled In My Granny Place

I Finally Took The Time

To Look At My Duhduh Suitcase!

Color Me Delighted And Shocked! 

What At The Distance

Looked Like Pretty Scroll-Work

Was Actually Writing On The Panels

In Clear Script

In What Used To Be Yellow Gold! 

The Words 

(My Father Loves Me!) 

Said:

Be Careful Of The Fruit You Eat!

Eating Candy Is Not Always A Treat!

Doing As You Like ... Now

May Give You A Thrill

But

KNOW THIS:

The Bearer Bond May Be Lost

The Blank Check Is Crossed

AND

Sweet Life Does Not Last!

A Starving Prodigal Will Eat Pig Swill!

AND

A Troubled Spirit Will Covenant Secrets Spill!

Don't Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!

Be Wary Of Where You Choose To Sleep!

AND 

Let Not Physical Beauty Go To Your Head

If You Want Your Head To Keep!

The Book Inside ...

Please Put Its Words On Your Inside

And

In The Lord Of The Book

You May Confidently Confide

Because

For You And Me

And All Who Will Believe

He Conquered Sin Death Hell And The Grave

And Is In Heaven

Interceding With The Father God

And For Us

Preparing A Place!

Whatever You Do

DON'T!!! Make A Shipwreck Of

Jesus Christ's Faith!!

Of The Mingled Wine

Do Not Take A Taste!

Pray The Promises! 

Trust The Eternal Word!

Run The Race For The Win!

Get Shuck Of The Goat Herd!

Don't Profane God's Word!

Trust Me!

I Have Never Told You A Lie:

Your Mother's Gifts Are Temporal

And Are Only Good For Now! 

Their Use Will Bring You Great Sorrow

For They Engender Confidence In Self

And In That Satan

Masquerading As A Benignant Storybook Elf! 

Please Place Them Into The Suitcase

AND

Use The Good Book As Your Life-Guide!

Everything You Need

To Prepare Your Soul For Eternity

Is Between Its Covers Inside!

The Holy Spirit Will Teach You And Chide! 

Holy Angels Will Protect You

And Influence You For Good

And With The Heavenly Intelligences Cooperating

Sin Satan And Self

Will Be Withstood!

Study The Book! 

Redeem The Time! 

Look Up! 

Do Not Turn Aside To Fables! 

Reason With The Holy God! 

Deny The Liar:

He Is The Cast Out Of Heaven Fraud! 

I Thought For A Long Moment ...

I Was Sorely Tempted

Truth To Ignore!

I Could Go Hog-Wild

AND
Eventually
End Up Eating Swill

Instead Of Enjoying A Chill-Pill

Or I Could Go Long For Long-Term Gain

AND
Forget Temporal Power And Fame!

It Was A Choice Between Distant  Shadow

AND

Present, Held, Substance!

I Was In A Bind

A Pickle

Between A Rock And A Hard Place ... But ...

At Length

My Momma's Own Words

Enlivened My Mind:

Trust Your Father!

Before Long ... I Cried Unto The Lord:

Hear My Supplication! 

Forgive My Sin - I Have Many! 

Do For Me

What Only The Eternal God Can! 

Give Me A Clear Way

To Walk Into The Holy Land!

Please Short-Circuit

Satan's Obvious Plans

For

I Desire To Reside

In The Delightsome Land! 

If You Will Go With Me

And

Bless Me

You Shall Be My God

And

I Shall Worship You

As Long As My Life Shall Last!

Let Not The Destroyer

Over Me

Gain The Upper Hand!

Help Me To Be Contented 

With Manna From Your Holy Hand

And

To 

Not Desire The Dainties

From The Flesh-Pots Of Sin!

Help Me To Humble Myself Before You!

I Am Approaching You, Lord

My Faith Showing, Bold!

AMEN.

Renewed ... 

I Pointed My Life Toward

The City Of The Blessed

AND
I Am Glad

That I Chose The Shepherd Of Rest!

I Have Lost Kindred

To Cushy Comfort And Careless Convenience!

I Have Made A Few Mistakes

BUT

With A Heart Fixed 

On The God Of My Father

My Life

Is Assuredly Not Sorry!

I Do Not Ride On Sin's Open-Back Lorry! 

As For My Heart

- God Willing - 

It Shall Assuredly Be Eternally Glad

When By Christ I Shall Be
Gold Crown Crowned 

AND
White-Robe Clad!

By The Way ... 

I Do Not Ever Wear Plaid!

Think About It!

Please ... 

Do Not Let Your Self By Satan Be Had!

Do  Not For The New Faith Fall!

Do Not To The Lust In Your Belly Crawl!

Purchased Pretties 
Turn Positively Putrid 
After Acquisition: Do Not Buy By Belly Nor Eye!

From Christ The Lord

Eye Salve

Linen White And Clean

And

Fire-Tried Gold

Buy!

Truth

Don't

Can't

Won't Lie! 

True Christians ALWAYS Exercise!

The Righteousness Of God
IS RECEIVED THROUGH 
The Faith Of Jesus!

Justification
Comes From Christ Jesus

AND
All Those Who Will Be Just
Must 
Exercise Faith!

Jesus Christ 

GIVES

To All
The Measure Of Faith
AND
He Who Believes
Loves
Hopes
Trust
AND
Desires To Be Numbered Among The Just
Shall Live By His Received Faith!

This Can Be No Bluff!

It Is A Must!

The Righteousness Of Faith
The Linking
- The Locking -
Of God The Father
To Jesus Christ His Son
IS A (The) Problem For The Many
Who Live By Earthly Light
AND
Not The Light From On High!

Hear This Word:

So ... Obviously

Temporally Living In The Faith Of Jesus
IS
What Gets One
The Gift Of Living Eternally
In The Righteousness Of God
The Eternal Light Of The Eternal God!

Righteousness Is Right Living
Aka Bright Living
Aka Living In The Light Of Life
Aka Living In Son Light
Aka Living In Christ Jesus
Who Shares
Daily Faith For Right Living!

You Can't Get Over It!
You Can't Dig Under It!
You Get Around It!
You Can't Avoid It
SO

As The Lord Said
The Only Way In ... To Heaven
IS
Through ... Jesus Christ
AND
That Through
IS
Through Jesus' Faith!

I Repeat ...

Those Who Get Into Heaven
Will Only Do So Through Jesus Christ's Faith!
There Is No Packing The Suitcase With Man Clothing:
Only Spotless Character Will Suffice! 

There Is No Loading The Purse With Credit Cards And Cash:
Only Fire-Tried Gold Purchased From King Jesus Will Ever Suffice!

For True Seeing-Eyesight
We Need Healing Balm
Purchased From Jesus Christ The Lord!

For Real Hearing-Ears
We Need The Good Word Living
Freely Given
Lovingly Spoken
By The Word Of God Who Is, Himself, God
Who Is Jesus Christ The Holy Lord!

Look At It This Way ...

In Earthly Parlance

Past And Present
All Roads Led
All Roads Lead
To Rome!

End Result: Shame And Disgrace And Death!

In Heavenly Light

From Time Immemorial
All Petitions Enshrouded In Faith
Find In The Holy God's Ear
A Living Place!
No Shame Nor Disgrace

AND

As Is Promised And Expected
Eternal Life ... To Come!

History Says

Rome Could Not Save Itself
Rome Did Not Save Itself

AND

Revelation Says That In A Future Time
Rome Will Not Save Itself
AND
Continuing Truth Unadulterated Says

Jesus Christ Saves
- To The Uttermost -
Those
Who Exercise Their Gift Of Faith
- Freely Given -
Humbly Received
Having Been
Lovingly Purchased By The Holy Innocent
For Man ... Fallen
Base
Guilty!

Do You Desire To Be Free
From Sin Guilt
Death
Damnation
The Grave?!

I Think So!
Yes, I Do!

Get Some Exercise!

Exercise Your Portion Of
Jesus Christ's Faith!

In His Truth ... Bathe!

For You

His Own Life He Willingly Game

So ... 

Choose To No Longer Be

A Sin Slave!

Choose To No Longer

To That Vile Satan

Cave!

Don't Forget!

Please

REMEMBER:

Jesus Christ

- To The Uttermost - 

Saves!

I Know That My Redeemer Liveth!! + PRAYER: Draw Us Nearer, Lord!

People Of God,

I Challenge You!

Do Not Charge God Foolishly With Your Mouth!

Those Who Will Live Godly Lives

Must Suffer Persecution!

Into Every Life

A Little Sorrow Will Come

BUT

Not Because Almighty God Cannot Shield

BUT BECAUSE

From Your Character

All Dross

Must Be Rooted Out!

Take For Your Example

Old Job

Him With The Faithless Wife

Him With The Fair Weather Friends

AND SEE

That This Godly Man

Knew

Without A Single Doubt

That Almighty God The Righteous One

Was In Total Control

So He Could Say:

I Know ...!

I Know
That My Redeemer Liveth!

I Know
That He Will Stand At The Latter Day

On This Earth!

I Know
That Worms

- After My Skin -

Shall Destroy This Body!

I Know
That With My Own Eyes

- Not The Eyes Of Another -

And

In My Own Flesh

I Shall See My God!

In Jesus' Faith

- The Faith For The Ages -

Old Job Said:

I Came Into This World With Nothing

And

It Is Certain

That I Will Take Nothing From This World

When I Am Come To Die!

Righteous Job Also Plainly Said

In Defense Of The Faith

Given To The Saints:

Though My God Slay Me

Yet Will I Trust Him!

The Living God Was Job's God!

So ...

In The Hour Of Your Sore Trial
When You Remember Old Job

Think Also Of Kind David
Who Was Also Sorely Oppressed
Having Been Bitten By His Own Pet "Dog"
AND

Who Understood Life In All Its Facets
Who Plainly Stated:

BECAUSE ...

There Is Nothing 

On This Dying Earth

That We Should Feel Satisfied
Or Well Pleased Over

Since 

All Beings On It

Not Purified By Christ

Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit
AND

All Things Perishable

Shall Be By Unquenchable Fire Consumed!
Nobody Can Put It Out!
That Fire Has To By Itself Burn Out!

Don't Conform!
Reform In The Image Of The Creator-Redeemer
Friend Savior Sustainer God Able!

Think Deeply About It  ...

Reformation

Is

Better Than

Conflagration!

So, Brethren Beloved ...

If In Your Short Life

A Little Rain Must Fall

AND

The Rose's Thorns

Your Finger Pricks

AND

The Storms Of Life

Collapse Your On-Sand-Built House

Be Grateful

For The Unsettling Of Your Life

Now Lived By And With Complacency

AND

Rejoice

That The God Of Your Salvation

Calls You 

- Known Child Of The Dust -

A Blessed Child Of His Heart's Own!
Don't Groan!
Accept The Gift Of The One
Who For Your Sin
Your Life
Did Sacrificially Atone!

PRAYER:

Father,

Reform Us!

We Are All Out Of Shape!

Remake Us In Your Image

So That From Condemnation's Damnation

We Shall

In White Robes Of Christ's Righteousness

Escape!

Conform Us, Lord

To Your Image!

Give Unto Us Hearts Of Flesh

Primed

And

Working

Willing To Do Your Bidding

Never Gainsaying Your Wisdom

So That We May

By Right

Cross Over The Separating Line

Unto The Day

That Knows Not Night!

We Are Yours, Lord!

Draw Us Nearer!

We Are Yours, Lord!

Help Us To See You Clearer!

We Are Yours, Lord

Help Us Be Bold Gospel Sharers

So That In The Day Of Harvest

We Will Not Be Among

The Bright-Light Fearers!

Grant Us Your Peace

And

The Pleasure Of These Few Blessings

For

It Is In The Name

Of

The Holy Jesus

In Heartfelt Prayer

That We Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

Come Soon!

AMEN. 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Influence Peddlers vs Immutable Truth!

Believe In Almighty God

To Be Established
On

A Firm Foundation!

The Influence Family Is Large

AND
The Family's Influence Is Great
AND
They Take Great Pleasure In The Act
Obfuscate!

Nevertheless ...

In The Beginning
Was The Word Of God
For The Word Indeed
IS

Almighty God
AND
It Is Through Almighty God's Holy Spirit
That The Heavenly Word
- To And Through The Earthen Vessel Called Man -
In The Dying World Is Spoken And Heard!

But, Then ...

One Day
Au Contraire Grandly Walked Through
AND
Seeming Like A Strong Tower

Boldly Stated With Finesse And Power:

Almighty God's Preserved Word

Shall No More Be Heard!

The Spirit Now Speaks Directly To My Own Soul

And I'm Following The Strong Impressions

Which Upon Me He Faithfully Showers!

I Shall Give You Free Lessons!

And, SUDDENLY ...

Every Man
Faithful Unfaithful 

Faithless
Literate Illiterate
Rich Poor
Good And Con Man
AND
Spiritualistic Gully Bore
Had A Word To Share With The Masses
AND
That Without Fear!

Man Raised His Hand In The Air
Wilfully Sinned

Against The Holy Spirit Of Truth
AND
Basely
Didn't Care!

And, Then ...

Bold As Brass
Riding On A Donkey
- Not Known To Be A Balaam's Ass -
Came Bare Confusion
Extending To All And Sundry
His Forward-Looking
Future-Seeing

Crystal-Clear
Peering-Glass!
His Act Is Pure Class!

Well ...

Confusion Was

AND
Confusion Is

AND
Confusion So Low Never Goes Solo!
His Associates Are Those Who Play Polo
AND
These All Having Whacking Sticks
AND
They Spin On A Dime
AND
Do Magic Tricks
AND
Profess Inside Knowledge
That's Too High For The Uninitiated
Non-Illuminated
Unwashed Masses
AND
Those Country Bumpkins The Backwater Hicks!

You Should By Now
- Obviously - 

Know That
His Excellency Scurvy Deception
Was Playing Pretty-Tail Possum
AND
Employing 

Truth Rejection
AND
No-Victory Over Sin Spiritual-Perfection
AND
Insisting, Insisting

Don't You Dare Resist Him
That All Get The 

"Common Good!"

Injection
AND
Obvious Ruin
- That Sly Boots -
Had Himself A Bumper Harvest
Of All Who From The Father Of Lights
- In Whom Is No Variableness
No Shadow Of Turning -
Did Turn Away!

Let Me Tell You ...

There Was
There Is
Rejoicing
BUT
It Isn't In Heaven!

His Nibs

The Evil One Indeed

Was

Is

Inordinately Pleased
For
His Cruel Designs Are Considered

By The Fawning Minions
To Be The Bee's Knees!

Did I Say He Is Pleased?!

Most Assuredly
He. Is. Pleased!!

You Do Know, Don't You, That ...

As Always 

There Is A

"BUT"
In All Of This
BECAUSE
There Are The 7,000 Persons
The Believing-Truth Remnant
Those Elect Of The Ever-Living God
Who Don't 

Who Won't

Bow Their Knees To Idols

AND
Who Do Not Beelzebub's Lips Kiss

Because They Desire To Receive

- By Faithful Obedience

Love Honor Praise Trust And Worship -

Jesus Christ's 

"Well Done!" 

Commendation

AND

To Enter The Heavenly Bliss!

The Faithful Of God
Recognized The Work Of The Fraud
AND
In Fervent

Importuning Prayer
They Repaired Unto Their Master

For

For Their Souls

He Does Moment By Moment 

Sacrificially Care!

Those Few Faithful

- In Season
AND
Out Of Season -
Proclaimed Almighty God's Holy Spirit-Inspired
Immutable Truth
AND
In So Doing

Uncovered The Wound
AND

Exposed What Is Not A Mustard Plaster
BUT
A Devil-Inspired
Demon-Promulgated Dastardly Disaster!

Brethren,
Young And Old
All Flesh
Be Ye Told:

Denying The Preserved Word Of God
Brings Sure Jeopardy To Your Soul
For
It Plainly Says
That Just Like Satan
You Are Asking:

"Hath God Said ...?!"

Please

Buy The Free Clue
AND
Be Ye Those Wise

For
Satan Is The Baleful Liar
AND
Does With Rabid Fervour Devise
Perils And Problems
To Skin A Body

AND

Kerfuffle The Brain
AND
Cause You As One Presumptuous
To Disdain Disparage Deny

The One Worthy Name!

Your Feelings 

Do Not Align  

Comport

With Almighty God's Truth

AND
This Mortal Life 

Is Not About Your Felt Personal Pleasure

So ... 

Do Not Covet The Position
That Is Not Yours To Have!

Do Not Take The Prerogatives Of Almighty God To Yourself
Acting Like The Physician Dispensing
Pills And Plaster
When You're Nothing But A Headache 

AND

Sore Looking For A Scab!

Do Not To Truth Be The Total Stranger
Putting Innocent Lives In No-Eternity-For-You Danger!

Do Not Lift Up The Rich, The Riotous, The Wrong And The Great
And The Small Insignificant Unmonied Man Denigrate!

Do Not Puff Up Yourself
When Your Stomach Is Filled With Combustible Pig-Grease
And Eat Cabbage And Beans
Leaving No Place
No Open Window
For The Exhaust Of Relief!

Bottom Line

To Those Who By Faith

Believe

The Living Unfailing Immutable Word:

Those Who Will To Speak For The Master
Should Await From Him The Word
Not Speaking Their Own Words
AND

Pushing Others Toward The Wild Goat Herd!

Almighty God Is Not Man

That He Should Live For To Lie

So

Damn That Old Satan

The One Who Can't Return Home

AND

Stay The Course Against Sin

So That You Will 

With The Redeemed Of The Ages

- By Right -

Enter The Gate To Eternal Life

AND

With The Angels Holy

Bow Before The Lord Of Glory

In Raptures Of Delight!

Influence Peddlers

Are

For Sin

By Sin

Through Sin

With Sin

Purchased

So

Influence Peddlers Are Never Right!

**--**--**--**

Never Follow

The I-Feel Multitude

To Do Evil

And

You Will

The Spirit Of The Ever-Living God

Totally, Totally, Delight!
