PRAYER: My Heart Does Rejoice





Father,
In You,  My Heart Does Rejoice
For
Your Faithfulness Is Real!
Lord, I Can Set My Clock By You
Knowing
That Your Promises Will Never Fail!

I Thank You, Lord
For My Little Faith!
I Thank You, Lord
For In You I Know I'm Safe!
I Thank You, Lord
For
My Daily Bread
And
For A Safe Place In Which To Lay My Head!

I Ask You, Lord
For Ever Increasing Faith
A Contrite Heart
And
A Willingness To Use It!
Grant Me Grace
For The Day At Hand
And
Help Me
Never To Put My Confidence In Man!

Lord, Lift Me Up!
I Desire Upon Mount Zion To Stand!
I Love You, Lord
AMEN.



Mother!






Mother, Dearest
Oft' Seen With Toughened Hands
AND
Wind Burnt Cheeks
Back Bent
Walking On Leaden Feet
Seeking A Bit Of Bread
AND
A Taste Of Water Sweet
For The Blessing Of God
Her Baby Well Or Ill
Strong Or Weak!
May The Holy God Bless You
As You Teach Your Children
God's Precepts 
True And Complete!
We Praise You
AND
Honor You!
We Love You!
Keep Sweet!

Have A Blessed Day!

She Who Faithfully Rocks The Cradle
 Works For God
Guiding
Her Baby
In Paths
Away From 
The Fraud
And
Teaching
Her Little Ones
The Way 
To The Living, Loving God
Who Has
Prepared A Place
For Those
Who
Love The Lord!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Taking God To Court!?!





The Headline Read:

Man Seeks Restraining Order Against God!
http://www.timesofisrael.com/man-seeks-restraining-order-against-god/

AND ...

I Couldn't Decide Whether To Be 
Appalled
Disgusted 
Fatalistic
Or
Just Be A Born-Again Bible-Believing Christian!

I Finally Decided On 
Being A Born-Again Bible-Believing Christian
For This Bit Of News
Was Quite Fantastic
Showing That
The Prince Of The Dark World
Was Again
Doing A Whirl
And Yanking Misguided Men
By The Short Curls!

I Could Just See The Charge:

God Is Unkind!

God Is Not Divine
Or He Would Not Be Doing Bad Things
To Inoffensive Traveling Human Souls
Who Are Just Going Along To Get Along
Not Bothering Anybody
Just Singing A Simple Song
Of Life
Real Life
Amidst Trial And Strife!

Of Course  ...

There Is No Presented "Evidence"
Of What The Unkind God Has Done Or Is Doing!

Interestingly ...

This Deceived Man Has To Have Some Belief That There Is "GOD!"
Else
Why Would He Have Chosen To Go Up Against
The Invisible God
In The Court Of The Unjust Judge
UNLESS
He Was Machinated To Manufacture
A Moot Against The Glorious Master
By The Demon-In-Chief!

I Am Certain That This Matter Was A Lobbed Missile
By The Baleful Beelzebub
To Bring Christian Faith And Belief 
Into The Realm Of Bollocks?

Now  ...

If I - A Seeker After Christ's Righteousness
Were To Take A Position
Relative To My Soul's Salvation
In Relation To 
The Eternal, Living, Holy, Almighty
Ain't Never Been Wrong 
Can't Make A Mistake
Doesn't Sleep
Doesn't Own Pyjamas
Doesn't Wear Sun Glasses
Has No God-Children Grandchildren Nor Stepchildren
Creator Of The Known Unknown 
Seen Unseen Universe
Maker Of Heaven And Earth
Things On The Earth
Things Under The Earth
All That Is In The Sea
God
In Whom All Things Consist
And Have Their Being
I Would ... Take A Totally Different Approach!

Because God Is Almighty
All-knowing
AND
Ever Present
I Would Go To God 
AND
Being A Fallen Human
I Would Complain
Rationlise
And
Pity Party-ise
Always
A sking Why
S eeking Understanding, And
K eeping After God Until ... 

He Sets Me Straight
Teaches Me His Way
Forgives Me
Helps Me Walk Right By Jesus' Faith
AND
Carries Me Along The Road
Victorious
To His Home:


Heavenly Father,
I Didn't Know You
Or Of You
And
I Couldn't Own You
Until You Called Me!
You Called!
I Heard A Voice!
I Finally Understood
It Was Is You
For You Wouldn't Stop Calling My Name!
I Now Answer You
AND
I Am Here At Your Disposal!

Father,
My Life Until Now
Has Been
Misfortune
Cruelties
Credulities
Incriminations
Discriminations
Castigations
Excesses
Disappointments
Excuses
Ploddings
Bruises
Broken Heart
AND
Pure Pain!

Father,
I Can't Feel Like Job
For Job Was Righteous - I Know That I Am Not!


Child,
Righteousness Exalteth A Nation!

I Don't Feel Like David
For David Was A Killer - I Am Not!


Child,
Confession Is Good For The Soul!
AND
Repentance Yields Forgiveness!

I Could Feel Like Saul
For Saul Was Disobedient
And I Have Done That  ... A Lot!


Child,
To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!

I Could Feel Like Joseph
For He Was Much Put Upon
But Freely Forgiving People
Is Not In My Case Brief!
I Know I Should Change
For
Against Me
It Is A Blot!


Child,
Forgive Your Brother Seventy Times Seven!
That Is 
All The Time!
I Willingly Forgive You!

Father,
Are You Trying To Tell Me Something?
Am I Walking In My Own Way?
Do I Not Give You Honor In My Worship?
Am I By Self Being Led Astray?


Child,
Be Ye Perfect
Even As I Am Perfect!
Come Unto Me
For You Are Heavy-Laden!
Set Aside Self
And Seek Salvation
For I Alone Give Rest!

I Like Doing My Own Thing!
It Is My Life - I Do Things As I Want!
You Gave Me "MY" Life!
Was It For Life Or Just A Loaner
AND
Why Is Everything Evil On My Back?


Child,
I Gave My Life For You
For You Are The Apple Of My Eye
AND
I Lay Before You Blessings And Cursings!
Why Won't You Understand
And Accept
That You Reap What You Sow?

Father,
You Say You Made Me!
You Made Me This Way!
So 
Why Now Are You Troubling Me
Causing Me To Eat Former Green Grass
Now Brown Hay?


Child,
Am I Your Troubler 
For Calling You To My Home In The Light?
I Desire To Give You A Hope
And An Expected End!
Am I Your Troubler
For Wanting My Child
Greatly Beloved
At My Banqueting Table?
I Will Show You Great 
AND
Marvelous Things
Which You Do Not Know
IF
You Take Up Your Cross
Daily
And Faithfully Follow Me!

I Didn't Ask To Be Born!
My Life Is Bitter!
If You Had Any Compassion
You'd Be Looking Out For Me
BUT
You Breathe Rarefied Air Up In Heaven
And Leave Me To Suck Wind
Under A Polluted Canopy!


Child,
Read The Word!
Disobedience Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft!
Presumptuousness
Is A Sin Against Your Own Soul!
Hate Is Akin To Murder
AND
Can You By Your Own Actions
Stop Yourself From Growing Old And Dead Cold?

Man Has Free Will
To Do As He Pleases! - But Not Forever!
I Can Not Make Anybody Love Me
Or Follow Me!

Sin Is In The World
Because Of 
Pride
AND
Rebellion
AND
Sickness
Covetousness
Jealousy
Greed And Death 
Are Thereby Unfurled!

There Is No Mistake Made By Me
I Change Not!
I Made All Things Good
For You And All Humanity!
At The End Of This Age
I Will Make All Things New Again!

I Will Defend Myself
To Show To All Men
That With Me 
There Is No Perfidity!

You Ask For Things
BUT
You Have Not
Because You Ask Amiss
For Things To Slake Your Lusts!

I Desire
That You Be My Willing Sheep
To Be Safely Lead To My Sheepfold
BUT
You Desire That I Should Follow
After You Wherever You Choose To Go
As Would Indisciplined Goats!

I AM That I AM!
I Make For Every Man
A Sheltered Way!
I Give To Every Man The Breath Of Life!
You Are Mine
BUT
I Can Not Make You Desire To Be Mine!

I Love You!
I Desire That You Will Return My Love
BUT
I Can Not Make You Love Me!

I Make Daily Provision For You
BUT
I Can Not Make You
Take A Blessing From My Hand!

I Called You
Because I Desire Your Companionship
BUT
I Can Not Make You
Seek My Holy Companionship!

I Desire Sweet Communion With You
BUT
I Can Not Make You
Seek Blessed Communion With Me!

I AM Calling You
Because
I Have A Special Home
Prepared
Just For You!
I Have Written
- For You -
Words Of Life
And I Desire
That You Will Come And Reason With Me
To Know And To Do My Perfect Will!

I AM The Holy God!
In Your Current Sinful State
You Can Not Behold My Face And Live
So
Please Give Me Your Sin 
AND
Your Self
Your Willful Way
AND
Your Stony Heart
AND
I Will Renew You
AND
Give Your A Heart Of Flesh
Tended By My Holy Spirit!
I Desire You 
To Give Up The Life
Spotted By The World!

Though Your Sin Be As Scarlet
I Will Make You White As Snow!

Give Me Your Filthy Rags
And I Will Give You A Robe Of 
My Righteousness!

You Say Your Life's Burden Is Heavy!
Give It Unto Me!

Are You Laboring For No Reward?
I AM Returning To Earth
AND
I Will Be Bringing My Rewards With Me
To Give Unto Each Man
What He Has Justly Earned!
Come Unto Me And Get Heaven's Gold!

I AM The Righteous Judge!
I AM
Alpha And Omega
The Beginning And The End!
I AM The King Eternal!

He Who Does Not 
Work With Me
Works Against Me!

I Have Told You
What Was
What Is
AND
What Is TO Come!
Let No Man Deceive You!

Let No Man Steal Your Crown!
Let Your Joy Be Full
For
In Me
There Is Nothing That Is Impossible!

I Knew You Before You Were Stitched Together
In Your Mother's Womb!

I Know The Number Of The Hairs On Your Head!

I Have Given You An Expanse Of Mortal Years
BUT
If You Choose To Let Me Be Lord Of Your Life
I Have My Eternity Set Aside In Your Name!

Now Is The Day Of Your Salvation!
Now Is The Accepted Time Of Deliverance
So
Choose You This Day
Whom You Will Serve!
Is It For Baal!
Or
Is It For The I AM!

Which Ever Cup You Choose To Drink From
Know
Of A Certainty
That
You Know Not The Day Of Your Visitation
When I - The Living God -
Shall Come!
All That You Will Know Is
That I Shall Come
AND
I Will Not Be Silent!

Let Me Not
To You
Be As The Thief In The Night
For
It Will Not Go Well With You!

I Have Laid My Love For You On The Open Line!

You May Choose
The Pleasures Of Sin For A Season
OR
Pleasures Forevermore With The People Of God!


REMEMBER: 

Call On Me And I Will Answer
For
Prayer Changes Everything
For
I AM 
The Way
The Truth
AND
The Life!

Please Choose Life!






Reach Out To Jesus!


I Walked
Aimlessly
On The Street Called Life!
All Around 
Was Blight And Strife!
Morals' Compass
Had Been Broken
AND
Contamination
In My Life Was Rife!

I Was Not Worthy
Fallen
Broken
BUT
Jesus Christ Called Unto Me!

Love Lifted Me Up
AND
I Heard The Gentle Voice Saying:
"Come Unto Me!

Your Salvation Is Here!
Be A Christian Soldier!
Look Upward! 
Walk Onward!
Follow Me, Dear One!
Be True And Faithful!
Beloved! Let Me Be The King Of Your Life!"

I Heard Jesus
O'er Life's Tumults
AND
I Cried:
"Lord, Save Me
The Tempest Rages High!"

Satan Right Howled!
Satan Fair Roared
BUT
Jesus Christ Calmed Me
Again, Saying:
"Beloved! 
Your Salvation Is Here!
You Have Nothing To Fear!"

Trusting Jesus
The Holy Jesus
I Accepted The Hand
AND
By Grace
I Am Saved! 

I Walk By Faith
My Heart Bound To Jesus
AND
Living In Hope
I Look Forward To The Glory Days!

Oh, Dear Brethren!
Call Now On Jesus!
He Will Not Turn Your Heart Away!
Trust Him - His Word Is Faithful
For
Everything Else
Leads To Damnation's Fire's Blaze!

When You Need
A Hand Of Care
 A Word Of Chiding
A Call To Rest
And
Comfort Sweet
Reach For Jesus
The Lovely Jesus
And
In His Love
You Will Rest
Replete!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Glorious Refrain!






No One Can Stop What The Lord God Has Appointed!
No One Can Almighty God's True Prophets Charm!
Anyone Can Shout "Fire!"
In A Crowded Building
BUT
No One Can Almighty God's Believing Repentant People Fill
With Ungodly Fear
AND
Alarm!

No One Can Deceive God's Elected People
Who
Through Jesus Christ's Living Faith
Are Battle Ready
AND
Strong!
Any One Can Cry:
"I'm Jesus! Bow Before Me!"
BUT
The Holy People Won't Be Dancing To
The Arch-Deceiver's Lying Song!

The Called
The Few
The Chosen Saints Of The Coming Kingdom
Built On The Rock Not Cut Out With Human Hands
Will
- After Enduring Battle-Scarred
Bruised, Burned, Bent And Broken Mortal Bodies -
Receive Immortal Bodies
AND
The Right
Through Heaven's Pearly Gates
To Enter In!

The Living Faith Of Almighty God's Holy People
Who Believe Almighty God's Word Of Prophecy
Will Not Be Put Off
By The Daily Signs Of The Times
For
They Love Not Their Lives
In This Veil Of Tears
BUT
- As True Citizens Of New Jerusalem -
Have Cast Their Fears
On Jesus Christ
The Coming Judge For The Unrepentant
AND
The Holy King Of The Redeemed Ones
Who Lovingly
All Their Burdens Bear!

Totally Trusting In Him Who Is Faithful
The Faithful Few
Walk Holy
AND
- In Cheerful Christian Hope -
Joyfully Sing
Salvation's Blessed Song!

HALLELUJAH
Is Our Highest Praise To Him!

Glory To Him!
Who Paid For Us To No Longer Be Sin's Slaves!

Amazing Grace!
The Sweet Song Of Faith In Trial
AND
Temptation!

Redeemed!
Through Endless Ages
The Glorious Refrain!


Glory!
Hallelujah!
Our Burdens Are All Laid Down!

Glory!
Hallelujah!
Satan's Musicals
Won't Get Us Off
The Steps To Christ
NOR
Stop The Saints From
Lifting Up Jesus
In The Music
Of
Christ In Song!
