Also, in this My Annual Day of Introspection, I shall remind Myself, perhaps while pontificating, that there is ONE THING, that I can do in My Life, for Myself, for which I do not need God's Help, or Blessing:

I Gain Hell

and

Lose Heaven

by 

Believing The Liar

and

Denying The Savior!

But, By God's Grace

I Stand Firm in Jesus' Faith

and

 If Hell is a Gain

Give Me The Loss!

*****

Give Me ... JESUS!

Nobody but JESUS!

You can have This Old World

With its Tarnished Silver 

and Fool's Gold

False Prophets and

Giant-sized Horned-Goat Fold

Just Give Me ... JESUS!!

My God!

My God is The One Not Popular
By The Majority He is not even liked
For it is said that He has too many "Dost saith's!"
And Fun is not on His Breath!

My God is The One Not One Popular
By The Learned He is to be considered as The One Who Is Dead
For it is said that He desires way Too Much Control over
What goes on inside an Individual's head!

My God is The One Not One Popular
By The Pretty People He is considered de trop
For it is said that He sucks the Play out of The Party
And His Way comes over like weight dead!

But ...?

To Me ...?!

My God has no need to be Popular
For, to Me, He is The Lord of My Life
I believe that His Word is Sufficient
And that He will calm, help and claim Me
And take Me Home when He comes to Finish
This Life of Constant Strife!

You do not have to "like" My God
He IS Almighty God whether You like Him or not!
He holds The Reigns of Creation
And The Short Days of Your Life!

My God IS Sufficient and
Enough
More than Enough and
Light of The World
He IS The King!
Hallelujah! Praise Him!
Like Him or Not!?!
He IS Coming for HIS World!

 Not Liking Loving Almighty God 

Is

The Difference Between

Glory Now

and

Gory Later!

Prayer: God-Sense!

Father, Grant Me The God-sense

To Recognize and Reject the Nonsense

Being $old as Commonsense

To Your People for Ten Cents

By those with a Truly Sick Sense

of Bible Truth and Morality!

Amen.

Prayer: Fill Me, Lord, Fill Me!

#AlignMyWillWithYoursLord
Help me to do as You bid
#ProsperMeOnTheWayLord
Teach Me, Lead Me, Lord, Fill!

Fill Me up with Your Power
Pave My Path with Success
Close The Doors of The Devil
Open Your Windows of Love!

Pour Me out a Blessing from My Master
Let Angels of Strength guard Me on My Way
Let Me be valiant on My Mission
Never from Your Precepts let Me stray!

My Eyes may cry on The Master's Mission
My Courage in weak Flesh may trembling fail
But, Lord, help Me press on to Victory
Over Sin, Illuminated Deception, and Worldly Knowledge Decay!

I am not My own - Lord, I am Your Servant
Nigh unto a Watchman upon The High Wall
Help Me to sure sound The Trumpet
Of Warning for Jesus
To Your People against Satan
And of The End of The Sky-Blue Earth Ball!

Love, Honor, Trust, Godly Fear, and Saintly Worship
Penitence, Supplication, Self and Will
I place, Lord, on The Sacrifice Altar
Accept, Lord, this Offering today!

Fill Me, Lord, let Me, in You, find Peace
And a Living Faith unto Salvation today
Teach Me, Father, Your Patience
Fill with Your Spirit, Lord, I humbly Pray!

Hold Me!
Lead Me!
Guide Me!
Fill Me with Your Spirit, Lord, I plead!
Fill Me, Lord!
Fill Me, Lord!
Fill Me!
Send Me on My Mission Godspeed!

PRAYER: Lord, Help!

In the Face of All Evil

Lord, let our Hearts be revulsed!

In the Face of The Devil 

Let our Souls be repulsed!

Grant us, Dear Father

Mercy, and Help, from Above

As we Bow before You in 

Faith, Hope and Love!

AMEN

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Good Evil Good

One day I met Mr. Evil
His last name was So-Good
He was a stunning bold sinner
And before Me he proudly stood!

Then I came across the Saintly Good Evil
Loving, Faithful, and Kind
He was bruised and battered
But he did not repine!

Some people see these men as interchangeable
Some people thought them twins
But those who listened to The Master
Knew them to be stone cold enemies
Never, Ever friends!

They both had similar missions:

"Go ye into The World!

Take up a Position!

Let Your Voice be Heard!

Create Division! Division!"

Problems very soon surfaced -
Someone had flipped The Script
These gentlemen's Birth Certificates were altered
Information checked out Absurdly Sick!
Messages didn't fit the lip!

Good Good had become Good Evil!
Evil Evil had become Evil Good!
The Masterful Deception was Total
And The People faced The Flood 
Of Right Wrongs
Wrong Rights
Light Darks
Dark Lights
Bitterly Sweet
Sweetly Bitter
Sinful Saints and
Saintly Sins
Both Day and Night
With Glitter Glitter!

Life became Dire
Dire unto The Fire
Which could would turn This Old World
Into a veritable Funeral Pyre!

But ... despite The Deception
In a small glade
Lived Gaude S. Good
Whose son was Savior who
By The Crosswise Way
He always stood
Preaching and teaching
Giving of himself
Warning, ever warning to
Don't trust The Elf
Whose tongue was lizard
Whose words were forked
Who thrived on Deception
Desire and Things Dark!

Gaude S. Good, Jr. - Savior baptized
Outed The Devil
Exposing The Lies
And giving His People
Hope Bona Fides
To hold
To help
To heed
To heal
To feed and to succor
To Salvation Lead
Despite Deadly Deeds
Starving Souls He Feeds!

He Feels for His Fellows
He Prays for their Souls
His Inward Light Burning
His Eyes as Flame Glows
His Passion over-flowing
His Heart is on Show
He will not a Soul surrender!
No! No! No!

All that His Father gave Him
All unto Him go
Full of contrition
Of Sin do repent
He draws and he Shepherds them
Into The Safe Fold
None will be cast out
Into The Night Cold!

Blessed are The Sheep
Savior holds Dear
For Now and Forever
They Abide in His Care
Until The Finale
When All will be Revealed
When The Saints of The Ages
Will before God The Father 
In Holy Worship kneel!

Put a Pin in a Ball Balloon

and

All The Air Flows Out!

Put a Jesus Pin in Your Sin

and

The Devil Flees as He Cries Out!

Blood is Still Blood!

All who would to The Savior flee
Listen, now -
Let Me speak to thee!
The Holy Word
Quite plainly cries
Woe unto them who
The Living Word profane!

Good can never be Evil!
Evil can never be Good!
Renaming can't change that for -
Without God -
Blood is still Blood!

Glitter does not make Good Character
But Character can make shame!
Keep good companions
Act ever always from Sweet Love!

Look to King Jesus -
Not the Lord of The Dung Flies
Who is ever deceptive
Who on Holy Love lies!

#TrustGodToDeliver!
Trust God time and again!
Evil Sin is The Enemy!
My cry to You, Dear One:
"Refrain! Refrain!"

Mine and The Lord's

My Failures are Mine!

My Successes are from Lord!

The Lies are Mine!

#TruthIsOfThe Lord!

The Dreams are Mine!

Hope is from The Lord!

The Moment is Mine!

Tomorrow is from The Lord!

The Plan is Mine!

The Decision is from The Lord!

Sickness is Mine!

Healing is from The Lord!

Sorrow is Mine!

Comfort is from The Lord!

Wresting is Mine!

Victory is from The Lord!

Salvation is Mine!

Redemption is from The Lord!

Sin is Mine!

Forgiveness is from The Lord!

Confession is Mine!

New Life is from The Lord!

Praying is Mine!

Peace and Rest are from The Lord!

The Needs are Mine!

Provision is from The Lord!

The Walk is Mine!

Direction is from The Lord!

Trouble is Mine!

Mercy is from The Lord!

Death is Mine!

The Saving Blood is from The Lord!

#JesusIsMine!

Grace is from The Lord!

Overcoming is Mine!

The Crown is from The Lord!

Heaven will be Mine!

The Blessing is from The Lord!

*****

With God, I Am Never Alone!

God and I Make A Majority!

God Rules!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Inheritance!

Daddy said that when he died, I would have an inheritance
Daddy died - I held out My hand
Inheritance? 
Done gone! 
Run away!

When she married, her husband said
When he dies she will have an inheritance
Hubby died
Inheritance?
Denied!
Bills and taxes multiplied!

She went to Jesus
And he said:
"I died! You have an inheritance!
Glory supplied bona fide!"

But she?
She stuttered
And ... lied:

"I wanted the World!"

And that is when Life became Base 
As she whirled and twirled!

She became ... You Me!
Frolic became Folly!
Dancing was no more Jolly!
Things became a drag! - I was eating ... dust!

I got up out of The Dirt and
Called to Jesus - He didn't desert
And I prayed earnestly for My Cleansing
After behaving like a totally sinful jerk!

My Inheritance from The Divine
Is Mine - take or decline - I make The Choice
Not Circumstance 
Not Human Whim
Never HIM!

I Trust in The Lord!
He is Ever Faithful 
With Punishment and Reward!
My Inheritance is Mine!
I, alone, make The Receipt or Rejection Call.

We can't Hold 

The World and The Lord 

at one and the same time!

Take the World 

and

We Give Up 
Our Heavenly Inheritance!

Take JESUS

and

We Receive 

The Eternal
Heavenly
Unchanging

Unchangeable
Unfailing
Unrecallable 
Totally Touchable
Embraceable
Non-reducible
Non-taxable
Non-divisible
Unsharable
Ever-expanding
Inheritance
of
The Believing
Faithful
Righteous
Overcoming Child 
of 
God All-Glorious!

Contrariwise Blessing!

YES! I AM JESUS CHRIST!!

You Hit Me - Bless You!

You Spat on Me - Bless You!

You Gambled for My Clothes - Bless You!

You Pierced My Side - Bless You!

You Took My Life, but

I Bless You with Eternal Life, so

Remove Now from The Life of Strife, for

I Give You My Life!

I Live!

I Love You!

I Lift You Up, so

Stand ... and Give

A Testimony of Your Hope!

Lope!

Don't Grope!

I Am Your Hope!

#ForgetSatan'sDope!

Stop Holding his Rope!

Tell him "Nope!" -

His Bloat does not Float!

Get In My Salvation Boat -

I Made The Sea!

Declaration: In My Soul

I believe in The God I have not seen
I listen to The Voice I recognize in My Soul
I am protected by Heavenly Angels excelling in Strength
Against all Worldly Wisdom, I March to the beat of The Unseen Drum

My Dance is to The Music of The Spheres
My knowledge is what The Prophets of Old longed to know
I see Tomorrow through The Eyes of Hope
Lit by The Light of The World

I will walk in Heavenly Places
In That Great Day
Because He who started a Good Work in Me
Will finish it

Of Myself, I am Not Worthy
But, by Jesus' Faith and The Mercy of God, and
The Comfort of The Holy Spirit
These Eyes which have not seen
These ears which have not heard
This Heart which has not conceived
Shall, upon awakening from My Soul's Sleep
Behold The King
In an immortal, incorruptible body
And shall to Glory rise

I shall drink from The Water of Life freely
I shall know God ... even as I am known
I shall worship
I shall bow down before My Maker

I shall wing, unfettered, to Worlds unknown
I shall know Peace
I shall have Rest
All this I shall have
Because I have a Living Faith

And ...?
So ...?

I Believe In
Love
Trust
Honor and
Worship ...
The True and Living
Eternal
Self-existent
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent God
Who is worthy to be Praised!

So ... I shall Sing!

What God?!

I cringed at The Venom!
My skin crawled at The Sarcasm!
I felt sad at The Fulfillment
Of The Prophecy
Of The Scoffers at The Time of The End.

This was a person so-called intelligent
Better he should be called Satan's tool
For to hear him speaking
Was to hear The Voice of the Bible Fool!

"What God?

There is no God!

My bad!

Soooo Sorry!

You really believe in that Sky God?!

You have got to be stupid

To believe in such a great Fraud!

Since I came along

I have been hearing

 'He is returning!'

'He's Coming!'

'He is on His Way!'

He hasn't come!!

Has he lost his compass?

Doesn't he know the "direction?"

How come he can't find his way here?!

When he comes I will believe in Him!

Until then ... Get out of my way!"

Lord, Jesus!

"He has nothing for us!

We don't want him!

Leave us alone!

Let us just live as we like, and have fun, and play!

There is nothing after this life!

Live!

Eat!

Work!

Play!

Die!

Get out of my face you ignoramus!

Got to play fast for soon we die!"

My heart felt like lead dropping into my stomach!
I felt the hair growing on top of my head!
The fear of Almighty God rose within me
For if I was God he would be lying down dead
For here he was - On God's planet
Drunk ... on the Oxygen The Creator God provides
Living ... off of God's Grace - He pays no compensation
Eating
Sleeping
Walking
Talking
Lying
Decrying
Body Daily Healing
Fate Daily Sealing
Denying
Denigrating
Destitute 
Loving the Sin Card
Living in Lard
Basting
Waiting for the Lake Frying Pan
And himself therein to bake!

He is Food for The Fraud!
I am Fool for God
Who, all through the changing scenes of my life
Has proved Himself germane
To me time, time, and again
And I will not Him now profane!

Oh, Lord, open their eyes

Wash away the dirt and the flies and

The lies that are obscuring their Sight

Give them Bright Light

Before the descent of Final Night

Have Mercy

Pity them

In their plight!

I walked away ... sad
A prayer was all That I had to offer
Lord, let it be enough!

I walked away ... Glad
For it showed
That we are getting
Closer
Closer to Home!

My Lord

I love You!

You truly make my heart glad!

One More Day ...

Worship Dance?!?

Leviticus 10:1-3 King James Version (KJV)


10 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.


2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.


3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

WE MUST WORSHIP GOD AS HE PRESCRIBES!

FOLLOW THE PATTERN OR ELSE ...!

They danced before The Altar
Dressed parading like common street whores
While The Saints gazed on in satisfaction
At the finale standing rendering applause!?!

Far from Grace
This Church has fallen
Embracing Sinful Pork christened Righteous Beef
With sharpened knife and fork, poised, at the ready
Eating with relish and pleased relief!

How much further down The Dark Tunnel of Deception
How much more of the World's work will they steal
Presenting same on The Altar of Salvation
Turning somersaults panties shining 
Like dog stones and pearly white teeth!

Even the men are getting in on the action
Tumbling in the aisles, breaking the table of Altar Bread
If it weren't so reprehensible it would be funny
They're fortunate that it's this day or they'd have be struck dead!

They can't believe that they are worshiping King Jesus
They can't believe they are praising The Lord
They can't believe they have The Holy Spirit's approbation
When their display is only fit for Satan - The Fraud
Who instigated their wicked heinous display
Of disrespect and denial of God's Holiness
As they indulged in riotous demonic pagan altar play!

The Living God is The God of All Order
Worship Him in Beauty - it's His Due
Holy Worship - is our call to Order
Not dancing like we're at The Dance Hall Retinue Review!

Where, where, are all The Old Sign Posts Way Marks?
Where is the fear and trembling, I ask you?
Where is the Love and the Honor
Where is The Glory given to The Holy God Above?

Turn, turn, turn away from The Devil
Stop giving Satan your control
Stop following the World into the cesspit
Look up! Walk away! Run, I tell you
Return to The True Worship of Almighty God!

We can't 

bring 

The Godhead 

down 

to 

Our Level!

Jesus Christ 
came down 
and
Died 

to 

bring us up 

to 

God's Level!

The Work IS Finished!

Personal Puzzler: What Does This Mean To You?

1. Clean Body
Dirty Soul!

2. Clean Food
Dirty Bowl!

3. Living in Hell
Heaven's the Goal!

4. Devil Dole
Christ's Fold!

What Does This Mean To You?

To Me:

Fact:
I was born a sinner.
I may bathe me outwardly but still ... I sin.

Clean Outwardly - inwardly a white-washed tomb, full of sin and trespasses. 
I need The Cleansing!

Fact:
Jesus Christ died after giving us His Living, Holy Word. He lives, and He gives us His Holy Life.

The Word of God is Clean and Nourishing Food going into an Unclean Vessel - Me - who can be is clean only through My Acknowledgment of His Supreme Sacrifice, and My Personal Acceptance of His Saving Grace.

Fact:
Satan directs The Leaders Sinners Unbelievers of This Earth. 
God Rules and Reigns over in The Affairs of Men.

Satan makes The Body of The Believer exceedingly uncomfortable but ... Since Jesus Christ is The Lord, and guards, guides and protects, keeping Heaven in sight will make even living in and enduring Hell a Badge of Delight ... until The Day dawns.

Fact:
The Devil delights in delivering The Depraved their Damnation even as he Doles out Disease and Destruction to Those that Delight in The Delivering Lord.

The Devil may hurt and The Devil may destroy, even kill The Body BUT he can never destroy The Soul of The Saint which Soul finds its Rest in The Fold of The Father of The Faithful.

God in Zion Reigneth

In this, This Mortal Soul Delights

Until The Day that The Change Comes

And, Immortal, I take flight

To Rest in Peace in The Pasture

In The Kingdom of Light

Nevermore to walk in The Darkest

Evermore to have My God in My Sight!

Never Alone!

Noah - Faithful!

Abraham - Friend!

And David?

A Man After God's Own Heart!

Oh, to be a Faithful Friend after God's Own Heart!

What a Declaration
Coming from The Mouth of God!

To be considered faithful by God
To be considered God's own friend
And to hear God claim Me as a servant after His Own Heart
Will bless My Frail Heart no end!

Oh, Loving God

Gracious!

Supreme!

Oh, how on this day

My Soul doth beam

All bright with Blessing from Your Throne!

I walk as One - never alone

Covered by The Blood

That truly does Atone!

I give You Praise!
