Exemplar!




Their Father set The Example
His Children Followed The Way
They all Walked After The Devil
Not One of Them Ever from him Strayed!

The Mother Set The Example
Her Children Followed The Way
Boy and Girl Alike Worked in The Flesh Pots
Money and Access to Things Held Sway!

We Looked at Both of These Examples
We Sought to Learn Another Way
And That Is When We Learned of The Godhead
And Sought to Let Them In Our Lives Have The Say!

This Godhead Really Had It Going On
Three Distinct Personalities
Three Distinct Operations
Father, Son and Spirit in Agreement Three!

The Son Called His Father His God!
The Father Called His Son God, Too
And Father and Son Held High The Holy Spirit
Saying: 

"Blaspheme The Holy Spirit 
and 
There Is No Forgiveness for Any Of You!"


The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
Agree in Everything in Heaven and In Earth
And They All Had Agreed That The Son
Would go to The Earth to Be Birthed!

They Had Agreed Before The Earth's Creation
That The Son was To Be The Willing Sacrifice
And At The Start of The Son's Earthly Ministry
These Three Were Individually - at One and The Same Time - Identified!

Jesus Christ, The Son, Came Out of The Water of Baptism and
As The Holy Spirit Descended on Him - The God Man
His Father's Voice from Heaven Testified:


"This Is My Beloved Son, In Whom I Am Well Pleased!"


After Which He Went To The Desert To Be By Satan Cruelly Tried!

The Son Said He Did What His Father Did - He Worked
The Spirit Says What He Hears
The Message is Marked
The Meaning is Clear
There is No Tangent - No Misinterpretation to Fear!

These Three are Cooperation Epitomized
These Three Cooperate for Mankind by Them To Be Justified, and 
In The Great Day Glorified
These Three Do All To Help Man To Answer The Master's Call
These Three By Jesus' Death Did All To Heal The Breach Created By Adam's Fall!

The Example The Three Set is The Example
Of What Right Through Light Can Achieve
The Father Commanded and
The Son did Obey
And The Holy Spirit Comforted Him On The Way!

The Son Was Sacrificed
So That Man to His Father May Be Reconciled!
At The Appointed Time That Son Did Arise and
He Went Back To The Father
But Sent Down The Holy Ghost
To Guide His Believing Children
Whom He'd Promised Never To Leave Standing
Directionless and Alone, Bereft and Lost!

The Son Before The Father
Petitions For Our Peace
Stating Quite Clearly:

"Father, I Paid Their Price!"
Let Them to Us Come Home! 
Please Grant The Release!"


I Make These Points To Say This:

Any Example IS An Example
And It Will Be Followed - Even Slavishly - By Somebody!
Therefore, Since, As Christians
We Are The Head - Not The Tail
Let Us Not Set Any Old Kind of Example
Let Us Not Set A Bad Example
Let Us Not Set The Example Misconstrued
Let Us Not Set The Example Subject to Interpretation!

Let Us Set The Example of The Exemplar!
Let Us Set The Example of The Holy - Not The Profane!
Let Us Let Our Example Be Worthy of Our Christian Calling!
Let Us Shine An Exemplary Light In The Darkness, Again And Again!


Let Us Pray That Our Good Example 
Will Cause Someone To Call Jesus Christ Blessed
Encourage Them to Sin and Iniquity Confess
To From This World's Follies Regress
To Answer The Loving Master's Behest
And Pass From Death to Life
After This Life's Pass Fail Test!

Let Us By Our Good Example 
Encourage A Sinner to Come Home!
The Master - Himself - Will Do The Rest
For He Who Loves Us Truly
Truly Loves Us The Best!

Money Laundering And Soul Cleansing Juxtaposed



Money Laundering 
and 
Soul Cleansing 
Follow the same Three-step Process:

1. Conversion or transfer of the Money/Soul from what it was to what is desirable i.e., Dirty Money to Clean, and Sinful Soul to Saint!

2. Conceal the Money/Soul's History Forever, i.e., through a Planned Process, "wash" the Money/Soul of its stench of Illegality/Sin and, by a process of Movement, Relocation, and Ownership Transfer, Render the Dirty/Sinful Clean/Saved!

3. Acquiring, Possessing and Using Money/Soul knowing full-well that its origin is Unclean!


We Are BORN With The Sinful Nature
and 
We Sin 
In Our Thinking
In Our Speaking
and 
In Our Actions!

Jesus Calls Us!
We Wrestle With The Holy Spirit!
We Finally Yield The Battle and Answer The Call!
We Confess Our Sins!
He Forgives Us and Cleans Us!
He Remakes Us!
We WALK ... By Faith ... In Him 
for
We Are New Creatures!

We WORK For The Kingdom ... By Faith In Him
Until We Die
Or
He Comes For Us!


NOW ...

We are All Sinners having Sinned against God, and We All Fall Short of His Glory!

In our Fallen State, we Cannot Hope to Approach God's Throne, and Live!


BUT ...

We have an "IN!"

There is a Man a/k/a The Son of Man who has Direct Access to "The Big Man" a/k/a God Almighty, Himself, for He IS The High Priest of Our Profession, and He IS in Heaven ... INTERCEDING!

Word on The Street is that The Son of Man IS The Prince of Peace who IS The Only Begotten Son of God Almighty! 

Word??

WORD!!

Word also is that The Prince of Peace IS Creator God a/k/a Prince Immanuel, being interpreted IS "God With US!"

It is also said that Prince Immanuel IS The Lamb of God and IS God Almighty a/k/a The Father's Pet, and it is a Well-known Secret that God Almighty gave Everything in Heaven, on Earth, under The Earth, The Sea and all that is in them into The Hands of The Pet a/k/a Jesus Christ a/k/a Big JC, even though He allowed Big JC to be sacrificed for, get this, "The Sins of The World!!"

Anyway, it seems that to Access the "IN" that the Outliers a/k/a Sinners have to "The Throne of Grace" a/k/a The Heart of God, one has to use The Comforter a/k/a The Holy Spirit!

FYI - the Key Code to The Comforter is found in some ancient book often called a "Dead Letter" but popularly known as "The Holy Bible" by The Christian Crew whose leader, Faith, told Seeking-Soul The Code is actually !!PrAaAyER!!

 !!PrAaAyER!! is Personal! Powerful! and The Petition of The Pleading Heart!

Spread The Word!
Now, in order not to "Get Burned" as a Member of The Goat Group, and to Get a Seat on "The Heaven-Bound Boat Full of Beautiful Believers Bought With Blood," we must follow these next steps Exactly!

1. Show Recognition of Our Lost State

2. Acknowledge That We are Dry-boned Sinners

3. Believe on The Lord a/k/a Big JC a/k/a Jesus Christ for The Saving Of Our Souls

4. Confess Our Sins a/k/a Tell the Truth of Our Sinfulness

5. This IS The Biggie: REPENT a/k/a Turn Away from Sin

6. Walk through The Watery Grave a/k/a Get Baptized

7. Put Our Shoulders to The Plow a/k/a Walk and Work by Faith in Jesus Christ a/k/a The Savior of Mankind a/k/a The Door a/k/a The Way To Life Everlasting!

8. Don't Trust Our Eyesight

9. Move out of The Shadows and Progress According to The Light of Life a/k/a Jesus Christ a/k/a The Word Made Flesh

10. Walk Holy for Jesus Christ IS Holy - Don't Look Behind, and

11. Fear God - With a Godly Fear (He has The Right To Kill Us But Doesn't For He Gives Us The Right To Call Him Lord and Friend When We Turn Away From Sinning)







Soul Cleansing Points and Positions to Ponder
as 
Proffered and Practiced 
by 
Jesus Christ 
under 
The Agency of The Holy Spirit:


  • ALWAYS REMEMBER: I LOVE YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE! 
  • You Sinned, and I Willingly Took Your Punishment
  • I Gave My Life to Save Your Life
  • I Made a Way of Return To The Father for You
  • I Prepared a Home in My Father's House for You 
  • I Heal You - I Am The Great Physician
  • I Help you - I AM The Good Shepherd 
  • I Desire Your Happiness - Happiness IS of The Lord
  • Come to Me and Be Saved - I Shed My Own Blood for Your Salvation
  • Walk with Me and Be Blessed - You Have An Inheritance with Me
  • I am Your Peace - It Passes All Understanding
  • I am Your Rest - Learn To, and Freely, Lean On Me
  • I am The Master Who Carries Your Load - Take My Yoke Upon You
  • I am Your Maintainer - You Can Do Anything In Me
  • I am Your Provider - I Feed My Flock
  • I am Your Redeemer - I Am He That Was Dead BUT I Am Alive Forever More 
  • Obey My Laws and Know You Will Be Accounted as Strange To The World
  • Walk with Me and You Will Be Hated for My Name's Sake
  • Trust Me and You will be a Target for Satan's Temptations - Hope In God
  • You Will Be Tempted on Appetite, Willingness to Tempt God and Whom To Worship - I Will Be With You Always
  • I am Your Savior - I Paid Your Price
  • I am Your Friend - You Will Not Ever Be Alone
  • I Am Your All and All - I Am In All
  • Come Share My Joy - It Has No Beginning and It Cannot Ever End
  • Your Home in Heaven Awaits - I Say So - Believe Me
  • Immortality Awaits - You Will Be Like As I AM
  • Your New Name Awaits - I Call You Mine
  • Your Gold Crown Awaits - In A Little While You Are Coming Home
  • I Am Waiting ... Let Me Into Your Life - I Will Not Barge In
  • I Am The Light of The World - Let My Light In You Shine to Glorify God
  • My Word IS Truth - I Sanctify You
  • Before You Were .. I AM, so
  • Be Not Afraid for I Desire You to
  • Come Unto Me, and
  • Be Still, and Know that ... I AM YOUR GOD!


  
Satan IS The Liar!
Let Us To God Retire
For Satan does Not Ever Tire
For he Wants Us with him in Hell's Fire!

So, since We Know What God Can Do
There is No Way that Satan Fool Me and Fool You!

If God Says "Go Right!"
Satan Will Say "That's Not Quite Right!"
And he will Lead us
Into the Blackest Darkest Night
If we don't Let King Jesus
Our Soul Battle Fight!

RUN - DON'T WALK - TO GOD!

Almost Thou Persuadest Me ...!?!



I listened and
I heard oft' repeated The Word
ALMOST ... and
My hair got curled!

ALMOST ... in Christianity is
What an "F-Bomb" is to Right-thinkers
Of The World ... but I digress!

This is how The Story goes:

The Almost Rich
Is Almost Happy!

The Almost Married
Was Almost Pregnant! 

The Almost Believing
Was Almost Persuaded!

The Almost Reconciled to Almighty God
His Sin Almost Recognized!

The Decidedly Human believes
He is Almost God!

He who Almost Heard The Word
Thought God was Almost Great!

 He who was Almost Faithful was
Almost Helped and
Almost Healed but for the Fact
In Jesus Christ he
Almost Believed!

The Almost Christian
Whose Life was Almost Holy 
Cried because in God his Life was
Almost Perfect!

The Almost Famous thought
He and God were
Almost Friends!

Almost Persuaded said he could
Almost Say that there is God but
Since he had not personally met God
He will say that he could Almost Believe
In a Real God!

He who was
Almost Ready to Change
Almost Listened to The Gospel
And said it is Almost Too Hard to understand!

What is wrong with this "story?"



"... Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian!"
Acts 26:28


What is The Expected End to such a position IF Our Very Real, and Almighty God should come right this very minute?

What would your expression be if He God said to you right this very minute:


"I Almost Saved You 
When You Almost Believed in Me!
But, since You only Almost Trusted Me
I will definitely tell You that You are Assuredly Lost?"

In the Realm of Heaven, there is not one thing that falls into the category of Almost:


We are Saved by Grace Through Faith.
We are Redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb.
We are Reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ's Merits.

We have Homes in Glory.

We will have Golden Crowns.
We will have Stars in our Crowns.
We will Freely Access The River of The Water of Life.
We will see Jesus Christ as He sees us.
We will have Eternal Life.
We will have Immortal Bodies.

We shall never Grow Old.
We shall Never Die for
We shall have been Changed.


ALMOST is just about The Most Egregious Word that a Christian can use EXCEPT right here, and right now, when he Cheers himself by saying:


"I am ALMOST HOME!"

as he Struggles under The Burden of a Living Faith while Appealing To, Working For, and Looking Toward, Heaven!

Otherwise, ALMOST is a Self-Prescribed Death Sentence!



If you Need Jesus
If you Need New Life
If you Need Manna -
Trust God in The Strife!
If you will be Ready
To Walk The Pathway to Eternal Life
Put your Back to The Plow
Bless The True and Living God
And ... 
Come What May
In All Ways
Day by Day
Read The Holy Word
and
Pray, Pray, PRAY!!

The Sirens' Call + Prayer: Forgive, Lord, Our Sin

I spent the day laid up
And all that I could hear
Was siren after siren
Screaming, screaming as they passed my way!

The Noise  - it was Incessant
It got under your skin
I almost wished it would stop
But ... I started to look in:

These sirens told The Story
Of what Mankind had Lost
It also told The Message of
What Sin itself had us Cost!

Had we Listened to Our Maker
Had we not Failed The Test
We would not now be Suffering the Results of Death 
By Sin's Request!

Oh, Lord, You know we are Feeble
Nothing but dust and air
Please have on us Your Mercy
For there is much for us to Fear!

We cannot Heal our Bodies!
We cannot Heal our Hearts!
We cannot Fix The Cost of Sin -
Lord, we'd be shooting black ducks in the dark!

Forgive us, oh Lord, our Trespasses!
Forgive us today our Debts!
Heal us today of our Failings and
Let help us to not have Vain Regrets!

You are our Heavenly Father
Jesus Christ is Our Savior and Coming King, and
The Holy Spirit is ever Our Comforter
So, in pity, please Draw us
Closer, ever Closer
and
Forgive, Lord, our Sin
and
Guide us Home, at The Trumpet
to 
That Blessed, Heavenly, Reward!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Feel The Power!






Lord, we don't have an excuse for Committing Sin for
You said You wrote Your Law in our hearts!
Problem is that with every Unbeliever
Faith in Your Word has no part!

Picking and choosing which Laws to follow
Are have been a favorite unacknowledged past time
(That is Until today!)
And now that Knowledge is exposed here
I now really have something to hold in Godly Fear!

I can no longer hide behind Lack of Knowing!
I can no longer hide behind I Don't Know The Way!
I can no longer Pretend Blind Indifference
For I have Received Glasses - A brand new pair!

Faith Comes by Hearing The Word of The Lord!
The Word has Life for me
For I believe it, you see - So there is Gain!
There is True Benefit to me!

Since I want to Lose Sin
And I want to Claim Jesus Christ as King
A Faithful Hearer is what I will be
And this is what I shall sing: 

Sung to the Tune of  There's Power In The Blood:

I am Free of the Guilt
That heavy Bore me down!
Jesus shed His Blood!
Jesus shed His Blood!
I took The Cleansing!
Lord Jesus Clean-washed, Saved, Redeemed Me!
There is Soul-cleansing Power in Jesus' Blood!

I Feel The Power!
The Cleansing Power!
The Holy Ghost At Work Power
In The Blood of Jesus Christ!
Feel The Power, Power
Power, Power
The Holy Ghost At Work Power
In Jesus' Blood that He shed
To Save Sinners just like you and me!

HAPPY SABBATH + God Is By My Side!






The Day started out with:


"That's Impossible!"

Then, with Time, I heard:


"Maybe ... but with Great Difficulty!"

By The End of The Period
Loudly was heard:


Task Accomplished!
God Is By My Side!



I sat and Thought for a Moment
Great Cogitations in The Head
If this scenario was not a Metaphor for The Life of Christian True Believers
I don't know What Else could be said!

God sends us out on Missions
Within which is our Reason for Growth
But Nothing will be Accomplished
If we Behave like Common Sloths!

Accept The Mission!
Recognize - of Our Self - that It Definitely Can't be Done!
Get out our Working Shoes!
Start out - Walk Chip Run!

Turn to The Father!
Raise up a Heartfelt Prayer!
Trust The Spirit's Leading!
Get Going!
Move On In With Prayer:


Father,
You've Sent Me on this Mission
This surely means that it Can Be Done
But ... I see Great Difficulty ...
I Love You, and I Trust You
You are My Guide and Stay
I'll be the Willing Body
Will You be My Faithful Guide?"

I'm Walking!
I'm Praying!
I'm Trusting!
God is Surely Leading The Way
And ... Before Long
I Get The Message:


You're Done!
Task Accomplished!
Put Today's Ledger Away!

Father, You are My Master!
Father, You are My King!
Father, You are My Music!
Give a Listen, Lord
As I Sing:


The Way - it may be Rocky
The Road - it may be Long
The Spirit fills Me with such Music
That I Break out in Glad Song!

I Sing A Song of Thanks for Your Mercy
For Your Blessing Me on The Way
I Trust in Christ, My Savior
And I'm Walking in The Way He Says!

Thanks, Father, for Your Provision
Thanks, Father, for Answering My Prayers
Thanks for The Road, and The Journey
With You Always Leading
I Shall Arrive Safely Home
At The Closing of Earth's Days!

I Love You, Lord!

*******

No Bells and Whistles Required!
Just Common Faith 
and 
Steadfast Belief in God!





PRAYER: Giving To God



I Give to You, Lord, My Praise and My Worship
I Offer You My Heart, My Will, and My Way
I Pledge My Faith and Obedience
Your Precepts never from Me to Put Away!

Bless these My Gifts to You, Dear Father
It's not much, but it is all that I have!
Bless Me as I Honor You day by day
and
Draw Me Ever Closer as Christ's Righteousness I Seek!
Grant Me Guidance, Care, Comfort and Protection
And a Home with You 
and 
The Promised Portion of The Meek!
I Love YOU, Lord.
AMEN.

Satan Had A Town-Hall Meeting ...! + PRAYER: Grant Us Your Protection



Satan had a Town Hall Meeting
That He wanted Man to Appear at and Hear
That he was not as bad as Stipulated
That it was Superstition that made him out to be a Roaring Lion
Killing men and making people submit to him in Abject Fear!

Satan had invited The Cream of his Crop
Of Witches, Warlocks, Psychiatrists and Ex-exorcist-Priests
Who would Testify in Glowing Tirade
That Satan was a Myth
A Fairy tale, Folk Lore
Bewitched Old Family and Heretical Apostate Churchmen Beliefs!

There were even those in the midst
Dressed as Ram Goat
Wearing 6 6 6 and not giving a hoot
And even someone wearing a Red Suit
With Forked Tongue and
Pitchfork to Boot
And passing out Bags of Lovely Loot!

Book Writers even trotted out their compilations
Showing that tales of Satan were just that: "Tales!"
For according to The Record long maintained
Satan was a Giant Lizard Snake Goat Dragon Hag Steel Donkey Fake!

There was even "Someone" who gave a "Testimony"
Of Satan being a Person Misunderstood
Of Satan being God - not Jesus
Of Satan being Seriously Misrepresented since The Great Flood!

All around the set speakers had their Love Fest
All around the Oppressed looked seriously Shell-shocked
That was until a Soft Quiet Voice loudly Spoke up
And put That Old Satan on The Witness Dock!

"Mr. Satan, please state your Full Name for The Record?
Please state for us your Lineage, if you could would?
Please tell from Whence you are Hailing, and
Please tell, by God's Holy Truth, how you came to be Misunderstood?

Would you tell, if you would, your Thought Process
When you met Eve in The Garden that Fateful Day?
Would you tell Why, if you would, you Corrected Her words
When God Himself said that Death would be Hers
If She His Living Word Disobeyed?

Would you, Mr. Satan, tell us the Truth of 
1 John 5:7-8?
If this is God's Truth - please state same
And if it a Lie - explain how, and by Whose Hand it about came?

Would you, if you would, tell why you Hate Christ Jesus?
Would you, if you would, tell why Human Worship is your Sole Soul Desire?
Would you, if you would, tell why you're Obsessed with
Getting as many Humans as you can to join you in Hell's Fire?

Would you tell, if you would, why you Raised Up Your Self
Above Almighty God, The Creator of One and All?
Would you, if you would, please Bear Record, of The Truth
The Real Truth, of  Noah's Time, and The Cause of The Great Flood?

Would you, if you would, Speak to Your Obsession
With The Rainbow and The Covenant to Man of Almighty God?
Would you state The Facts, Not Opinions, Not Hacks
Of why you Edit God's Words To Give Your Lies a "Viable" Truth?

Would you, if you would, please tell - in Truth's Words - of The Cost of
Your Rebellion Against God
And The True Impact it has had on Humanity?
Would you, if you would, tell Completely
Why you Lie, Daily Lie, to Deceive All Humanity 
With Tripe, Trifles, Strife and Desperate Inanities?

Would you, if you would, use the words of This King James Holy Bible
To Prove that Everything you are about to Say is God's Own Truth?
Would you, if you would, Show Your True Self and
Not Dressed up in Light and Shining with "Truth" so Mesmerizingly Bright?

Would you, if you would, tell The Seeking-After-God People
Why you have Engineered to make them Believe that you are God Good, and
Why you have Set up your Demonic Hoard of Disciples
To make people Believe that Jesus Christ himself Usurped Your God-Person-hood?

Mr. Satan, you say that your Vaunted Reputation is all a Fiction
A Fabrication, A Lie
Made-Up, Fable, Myth and
Just a Writer's License to Get Sales!
If this is Truly your Position, please Explain then Your Creator's Word against you in
Isaiah 14;12-15, Ezekiel 28:14-17, 1 Peter 5:8, and Revelation 12:7-12?

In The Name of Jesus Christ
Declare to these People that You and Your Reputation are a Lie!
If not, then in Jesus' Holy Name tell them God's Own Truth
That you, Sir, are The Liar, The Fraud
The Wannabe Holy God
Who Hates them with Perfect Hatred
Because they are Loved by The Holy Lord
The True and Living Eternal Creator - Yours and Mine - God!"

The Place was in Total Uproar!
Satan Couldn't Contain Himself anymore and
His Disguise Erupted and Tore and Tore
And, with Crass Imprecations
For the Bedevilment of Man
He Fled through the closed up middle side open door!

After the Clamor Died Down
And all but the Questioner had sat down
Another stood up and made a Statement
Asking all to look to Jesus and take care for
He said,  for this Work here today
Satan will try to make us Pay
But, Trust and Bless God, and by God's Grace 
We will have Nothing from Satan to fear!

"Be Sober
Be Vi-gi-lant
The Devil is a Straight Up Scamp
Who has Nothing Better To Do
But your Faith to Lay Waste!
Pray, and Prepare!
Satan has his Snares, but
If you Trust God's Word
You have a Sword
With which you can 
That Wicked Old Satan Away scare!"


With Satan Vanquished ... for a Time
The Meeting Closed 
with 
Prayer 
to 
The Almighty God
in 
The Matchless Name of Jesus Christ
under 
The Agency Of The Holy Spirit!


PRAYER OF FAITH:

Heavenly Father, we cannot by Eye see You
But, in Faith, we Love and Trust You!
We Believe Your Word!
We Bless Your Sacrifice and
We Know that Satan
Will To Us Never Act Right Nor Play Nice!
Grant Us Your Protection We Humbly Pray
Guide Us Faithfully on Our Way, and
Bless us with Your Blessing, Lord, for
We Love You Now and
Forever, and Always!
AMEN.
