The License Renewal

My Life Driver License
Had Come Up For Renewal!
I Hemmed!
I Hawed!
My Life Was In Upheaval!
I Had Walked In My Own Way!
Sometimes I Even Prayed As I Played
- Until Now That Is -
Well Knowing That
If I Continued Thus Walking
Driving
High Flying
AND
At Doing Sin Not Balking
I Was Staring Eternal Darkness
Separation
From The One
In Whose Peaceful Pastures
I Should Be Comfortably
Joyously
Restfully Partaking!

I Was Miserable!
Do What Thou Wilt
Had Been The Call
Of My Rebellious Way
Where
Do It If It Feels Good
Have Fun In The Sun
Do Dark Deeds In Darkness
AND
Wipe Your Mouth
It Is Nobody's Business
If They Weren't There When You Had Some
Reigned Supreme!

I Got To The Renewal Station!
I Had My Renewal Payment In Hand
When Right Beside Me
Was A Man With Holes In His Hands!
In Shock I Looked Up
Down
And Saw A Tragically Scarred Face
AND
Holes In Bronzed Feet
AND
Through The Rents In His Garment
A Gaping Hole
Deep!

Instinctively
I Reached Out!
I Touched Him!
I Looked And I Saw
Tears In His Eyes
AND
I Started Crying Too!

My Stomach Had A Million Butterflies
BUT
I Didn't Care!
This Stranger
Well Known
By All And Sundry
- Rejectors And Acceptor Alike -
Was The One Who For Lost Souls
Was Always In A To-The-Death Fight!

I Asked:
Are You Here About Me?

He Answered:
I Am Pleading For Your Life!

I Cried:
But I'm Just Here To Renew My Life Driver License!

He Cried:
Please Don't!
That Renewal Has A License Is Lease
Feeling Is Grease Rider!
It Is Going To Cost You
Your Life Now
AND
Eternal Life
When Earth Comes To Journey's End!

I Went White Purple
In Shocked Disbelief!

I Exclaimed:

But ... BUT ...
Pastor Says
That All You Desire From Us Is A Little Faith
A Little Belief!

He Stated:
Faith Without Work Is Dead!
Swallowing Hot Coals Will Kill You Dead!
Ignoring The Salvation Of Your Soul
Won't Make Death
Any Less True
And
Denying The Penalty Of Death For Sin
Is Not Going To Force Me To Save You!

I Already Paid For Your Salvation!
I Already Gave My Life For Yours!
I Paid So You Don't Have To
And 
My Blood Gives You Heaven's Gold!

Discard The Wilful One's Artful License
Stop Right Now
And
In My Name
To The Father Prayer!
Confess Your Sins And Repent
And Invite The Holy Spirit
To Take Up Residence
And With You Forever Stay!

Please!
I Beseech You!
I Am Pleading To Save Your Soul!
Life's Pleasures Are Fleeting!
Life's Coins Are Like Burning Coals
And
As Coals Have A Shelf Life
So Will You
If Heaven Is Not For You The Sole Goal!

I Offer Pleasures For Evermore!
I Offer Gold That Is Tried!
I Offer Life Everlasting
Across The Separating Line!

I Ask For Your Willing Obedience!
I Ask You To Walk In My Straight Narrow Way!
I Ask You To Please Come With Me
BUT
You Can Only Come
If You Believe In Me And Trust Me
To Guide You In The Holy Way!

Your Life Will Not Be Easy!
You Will Be Hated
Oppressed
And
Often Distressed
BUT
If You Walk With Me
You Will Always Be Blessed
And Have Rest!

Please Give Me Your Life Drive License!
Let Me Be Your Shepherd Today!
I Love You!
I Need You!
From The World Turn Away!

I Though For A Brief Moment!
I Saw My Life Through His Eyes!
I Gave Him My RIGHT Hand
The Hand With The Old License And Renewal Money
AND
His Garment Changed
Right Before My Eyes!

He Stands The King Before Me!
I Stood Striking Tall
For I Knew If I Looked Behind Me
He'd Be Standing There
As My Judge
AND
The Judge Of Those Who
Reject The Salvation Call!

We Talked For A Long A While!
I Nodded Acceptance!
I Acknowledged That The Path Will Be Hard
BUT
Come What May
I Know I Have An Advocate With My Heavenly Father
AND
I
Consciously
With Christ
From Sin
Deliberately
Prayerfully
Walked Away!

My Motto

From That Day Onward Is:

Not I But Christ!

I Am Glad

That I Took The Steps Toward Christ!

Self Is A Sinner!

On A Day Called Questionable
Cutting Truth
AND
Pleasing Fable
Stood Face To Face
Across The Lord's Supper Table
Each Defiant
Each Direct
With The Congregation Not Knowing What To Expect!

Cutting Truth
- In A Strong Tearful Honest Voice -
Encouraged The Congregation
In The Sacrifice Of Christ To Rejoice
For
The Blood
Once Spilled
Buys Pardon For All Who
Lay Down Sin
Pick Up Their Cross
AND
Daily Eat Their Fill
Of A King James Preserved
"Doth Saith The Lord!"
God's Holy Word
Uncorrupted By Evil Men And Women
True!

Pleasing Fable
- Not To Be Outdone -
Took Up Alexandrian Philosophy
Man-made Church Policy
AND
Leading Men's Educational Corrections To Holy Writ
For A Cheer-filled Soliloquy!
He Bobbed!
He Weaved!
He Impugned God's Word
AND
Went For A
"Do As I Please!"
AND
The Church Was Divided
With Hardly Any Souls
Willing
To Glory
In The Finished Work Of The Lord!

If The Veil Could Have Been Removed
Those Laodiceans Would Have Seen:

Self Satisfaction
Glorious Inaction
No Pleasure N. Restraint
Sinning S. Fun
Shoot-down D. Bible
AND
Lovely Rum
Were Working Adroitly
Slipping The Arrogant
Man-Is-god-Believing Crowd
High Priced Bromide
Instigating Rebellion
Prodding The Willful
Away From The Heavenly Guide!

The Cause Of The Ruckus?
Who Needs To Jesus Flee
When Self Awareness
Lifts Up Everybody!
Just Do What You Will
Just Don't Harm Another Soul
For Sin Death Hell
Confession And Repentance
Are Concepts Grown Cold!

If Eyes Could Be Opened
On The Side Of God's Faithful
Those Pleading With Brethren To Fear
God
AND
His Commandments Keep
To Let Him Our Burdens Bear Against The Fraudulent Creep
Those Believers Would See
Angels Of God
Doing Battle
Preserving God's Saints
Against Those Weavers Of Black Darkness
Of The Army Of The Degrading Lord Fraud!

The High-Minded Departed
In High Dungeon
AND
In Complete Disarray!

The Faithful Of God
In Humility Of Soul
Held Hands Together
AND
Prayed!
They Sighed
AND
They Cried
AND
Lifted Up God
AND
Yearned
Dearly Yearned
For
Their Blessing
In The Great Day Of Reward!

They Confessed
Their Own Sins
AND
The Sins Of The World
AND
The Numerous Sins Of The Church
Knowing
That Judgment
Begins First
In The House Of The Lord!

AND ...

When All Was Completed
They Sought Counsel Of The Lord
AND
With Prayerful
Humble
Teachable Spirits
They Delved Into His Word!

They Approached God's Word
Where Great Treasure Is Hid!
They Sought It With All Diligence
AND
They Asked God To Remove Self
AND
In Compassion He Did!

They Lifted Up Jesus
The Light Of Their World
AND
God
With True Blessing
Did To Their Humble Hearts
Heaven's Glories
Bestir!

They Ate Drank Of The Symbols!
They Did Not Remake
Nor Eat God!
They Lifted Up The Master
AND
Gave All Glory To The Risen Lord!

Renewed
They Departed The Sanctuary
Built By Human Hands
Looking Forward To That Day
When They Would Enter The Temple Raised Up
By The Holy God's Hands
In The Land Uncorrupted
God's Glorious Land!

When The Soul In Worship

Is Before God

Self Must Die!

*********

To Uphold Self Is To Denigrate God!

*********

When Self Is An Active Party

In The Soul's Salvation

There Is No Shield From Delusion!

*********

Man-Approved-gods Are Idols!

*********

To A True Christian

Self And Sacrifice

Make A Compound Word!

*********

Salvation Over Sin Is The Saint's Refrain!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Life Letter: Heaven Records

I Got A Letter In The Mail Today!
The King Is Coming!
Soon Is Judgment Day!
The Records Were Investigated
AND
Ready Or Not
The Judge Of The Earth Is Coming
AND
His Rewards He'll Be Handing Out!

The Letter I Received Is Specific!
The Record Of Heaven
Contains All Of My Deeds
The Good
The Bad
The Ugly
The Things I Was Sorry For
AND
Those Things For Which I Sneering Said:

"Oh, Jeez!  Puleeze!"

The Letter Also Stated Quite Clearly
That There Will Be A Settling Of Accounts
For
I Must Report To The  King Judge
Concerning His Talents To Me He Had Handed Out!

I Must Be Able To Render An Accounting
Which Says How I Blessed God With What To Me He Did Pay
Whether I Made Profit
Or Usury
Or If The Master's Talents
I Solemnly Buried Out Of The Light Of Day!

My Letter Said Something
That Gave Me Great Goosies Cold!
It Said That
Angels Are With Me Recording Everything I Do Say
AND
It Said That If I Could See Beyond The Dark Glass Curtain
I Would Be Hesitant About The Words Actions
I So Casually
Lightly Loudly Shout
Cast About!

The Letter Also Said By Way Of A Stark Warning
That Unconfessed
Unrepented Sin
Will See Me From The Lord Cast Forever Away
AND
It Said Quite Plainly
Mother Father
Brother Sister
Husband Wife
Son Daughter
Priest Prophet
Nor Guru Of Best Life
Will Get Me A Heavenly Home Free Card
If I Don't Cherished Sin
Through Jesus' Faith
From Me Cast Out!

By Way Of Dread Dire Reminder
It Clearly Stated:

"God Cannot Save Your Soul

From

Eternal Death

While

You Confidently Live In Sin."

AND

It Passionately Reminded Me
That:

"With Jesus Christ

As

Your Captain

You Can Always Be Confident

Of

The Win!"

It Closed With The Charge About Faith Sharing
AND
Showing To Others The Gospel Road
AND
Reminding Me About False Shepherds Prophets
Who Will Sell The Faithful Out To The Devil
For A Pot Of Fools Gold.

In Quiet Contemplation
I Called On The Name Of My Lord!
I Confessed My Sins
Repented
AND
Rested
Believing On The Living Eternal Word.

I Trust My Lord God The Master!
I Rest Easy With The Comforter Dear!
I Hope In God The Father Almighty
AND
I Started A New Writing Tablet
Today
Which Starts Out This Way:

My Dearest Friend:

I Have To Introduce You To My Jesus!
He Is The King Of Heavenly Joys Always!

He Is The Returning King
And

The Rock Of All Ages

So Let Me Tell You About The Blessings
And What Else He Gives To Me
As My Longing Soul He Lovingly Saves And Satisfies ...! 

Making Peace With God!

I Have No Fond Memory
Of Having Walked In My Own Way
For Even Though Through Repentance
God Forgave Me
The World Did Not Seen To Care!

I Remember Being Fat and Flourishing
Not Realizing That That Put Me At Odds With My God
AND
Not Realizing That The Fat Was Not Just A Weight Thing
BUT
An Indication That I Was Seriously In Bed With The Fraud!

I Walked Presumptuously
In My Own Way!
I Did It All To Suit Me
AND
I Did Not Care
Since I Wasn't Hurting Anybody
AND
I Was Looking For The Big Pay Day!
(Famous Last Words!)

"Hey!!!

Is Anybody Up For A Roman Holiday!"

Little Did I Know -  Or Care -
If I'm Honest
I Was Walking On Egg Shells
Sliding On A Banana Peel
AND
Standing On A Broken Leg
Until The Day
The Fence I Was Straddling
Up and Fell Down
AND
I Was Left
Backside
Upside Down!

I Had No Choice
But To The Bible
Take Recourse!
No One Made Me
For
Sin and I Had Had An Acrimonious Divorce
AND
It Was Then
That I Understood In Truth
That A Surrendered Will And Spirit
God Can Make Of Good Use!

In The Sanctuary Service
The Sinner Must Repentant Come
Bearing A Peace Offering
An Unspotted Lamb
Which He Of Himself
Must Remove The Fat - His Sin
AND
The Lamb's Breast Heart and Right Shoulder
To Make To God
Pleasurable Offerings
Showing With Distinction
Self Will Being Set Aside
AND
That The Law Of God Will Be Kept
As Was The Ark
Carried On The Right Shoulder Side!

I Made A Promise
Which In Myself I Surely Broke
BUT
Because I'd Chosen Jesus
I'd Also Broken Satan's Yoke
Where
Having Done That
I'd Made My Peace With My God
AND
With Jesus As My Peace
AND
My Companion
I - By Christ -
Will Be Called
The Peacemaker
A Child Of God
AND
The Repairer Of The Breach!

 Make Your Peace With God!

Give God The Fat

AND

Keep Him At Your Right Shoulder!

HAPPY SABBATH + Yoga Christianity!

I Was Happy With My Decision Position!
My Soul Was At Peace With My God!
That Is
Until The Brothers
The Sisters
The 501C3 Churchmen
Started Acting Like Ace Agents
For King Fraud!

At First
The Nudges Were
Almost Sorta Kinda
Maybe Probably
Gentle
Until They Were
Decidedly Distinctly
Domineeringly
Deliberately
Painfully
Hardcore
AND
I Was Getting Mighty Close To Bending
Until I To My Jesus
My Burning Bewildered Heart Did Out Pour:

Father, You Know That I Love You!

I Honor You!

I Hallow Your Ways

BUT

The Leaders Of The Church

The Under Shepherds

Are Preaching Everything

Contrary To Your Immutable  Holy Word!

Allah Is Almighty God!

Fourth Commandment Sabbath Is Rising Sunday!

Marriage Is Sanctioned Between Whomever

Is Monogamously In Love!

The Three Angel's Messages Of Revelation 14

Are Not Pertinent

For Our God Is A God Of Love!

Man Is Immortal!

Man's Soul Can't Won't Will Never Die!

Christ's Return Is Silent Secret

And

Those Allegedly Left Behind

Have Seven Years

To Work To Get Their Souls With God Right!

The Unleavened Bread

And

Plain Grape Juice

Of Our Dear Lord's Last Supper

Is By The Will Of Collared Men

Turned Into A Daily Fresh Feast Of The Living Dead!

Pedophilia

Bestiality

Necrophilia

Are Just Terms For Sex Self-Pleasing!

Necromancy Is Just A Rerouted Connection

To The Voice Of One We Desire To Have Heard

And To Have Us In The After-Life Believing!

Faith And Works Are To Each Man Subjective

And

Compromise Of The Soul

Just Makes Residence On This Planet More Pleasing!

Satan Is An Allegory

Of A Man Misunderstood

And

Reincarnation

Is Just Recycling Done Good!

Truth Of The Living Go

 Is As Explained

By The Man Who Understands

The Biblical Languages Real Good

And

Sorrow For Sin

Is A Psychiatric Technique

For Those Whose Consciences Grate 

Their Finger Toe Nails Real Good!

Lord, Have Mercy!

Help Me To Stand!

Apostasy Is Being Practiced

Like The Moves Of The Yoga Man!

Fluidic Positioning Is Power!

That Power Says: "The World Shall Be By Me Attain Peace!"

Lord, Please Help Me To Hold Fast To You

And

Don't Let Me By Satan Get Fleeced!

Help Me To Stay Humble!

Help Me To Stand Firm!

Help My Faith Of The Seed Mustard Grow

And

Not Crash In The Cut Down And Get Burned!

Jesus Christ Is My Only Shepherd!

The Holy Spirit

Comforts Chides And Teaches Me The Right Way!

Dear God, You Are My Father!

Please Do For Me

What The Transcript Of Your Character Says!

I Love You, Lord!

I Am Listening!

Let Me Only Your Holy Voice Hear!

Please Let This Childlike Heart

In You

Daily Gladly Rejoice

And

Not Look Around Me In Useless Fear!

AMEN

Playing With Praying

I Went To "The Magician!"
I Needed A Little Something
To Get Me Through The Day!
I Prayed The Exact Fee
AND
Achieved The Exact Play
AND
Confidently
Pridefully
Walked Away!

It Wasn't Very Satisfying
BUT
I Could Look Right!
I Could Speak Like I Was Walking Right
AND
I Could Pretend That I Was Living In The Light!

...   sigh ...

Go Along
Got Along
Doing Wrong
For A Song.

Not Very Helpful ...

Put In
Get Back!
Put God First
And
Life For You Won't Be A Hearse!

Huh!?!

Get What
You Give!
No Water
In A Sieve!

Hmmm ...

God Is Love
Is God!
Suffering?
Look Away From The Fraud!

Okay, Already!
Out With It!

Stop Looking In!

Stop Looking About!

Cast Your Gaze On Things Above

For There Is Where You Find The King Of Love!

Stop Praying For Temporal Things!

Start Praying For The Things Of God!

Let God Lead

You On The Way

And

Throw The Gotta-Have-Things-Medicine Away!

Say Your Prayers From Your Heart!

Trust God To Provide For You

From His Heart!

God Cannot Lie!

If You Believe

Love

AND

Trust Him

You Will Fly

Home To Heaven

When He Receives To Himself

His Own

By And By!

Put The Living God First

Not Things To Be Purchased

With The Contents Of Your Purse!

God Will Provide!

He Has Blessings For You

IF

For Peace With Him

You Sue For

AND

Pursue!

God Is Real!

Sin Assails!

Jesus Took The Nails - Trust Him

Then Satan

Against You

Can't Prevail!

Real Life Begins

When You Let Jesus Christ In!

Satan Can't You Grope

When Hope In God

Is Your Anchoring Rope!

For What Do You Pray?

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
That Keep Us From Doing  
The Unholy One's Behest!

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
That Bring Us To The Lord 
So That We May Our Sin Confess!

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
Which Cause Us To Turn Away
From Falling Into Mortal Distress
So ...
Let's Give Our Praise And Thanks
Trust And Obedience To The Living God
So That Heaven Will Continue
Our Hearts And Hands To Bless!

Our Loving Savior
Says That We Must Come To Him
To Be Fed
BUT
Before We Can Go To Him
We Must Recognize
That We Have A Need
For The Bread Of Heaven
AND
Life's Living Water Pure
AND
Believe That God Can Will Feed Us
AND
ONLY THEN
Will Our Food Be Sure
AND
Secured!

Let No Man Deceive You!
The Living God Is Not Mocked!
Let Not Self Deceive You
To Believe
That Going To God Is There To Give You
Ample Temporal Stock
For
Life Is More Than Food And Raiment
Houses And Land
Possessions And Processions
Following Fashion
AND
Always Having The Winning Game Hand!

Coming To Jesus
Will Get You
The Father
AND
The Son!
Not Coming To Jesus
Will Make You
A Sure Lost
An Also Ran!

The Heavenly Father Won't Know You!
The Eternal Gifts For You
By You Will Be Cast Away
AND
In The Great Day's Dawning
Your Wailing Teeth-Gnashing
AND
Christ-Confessing Self
Will Receive Its Justly Earned
Jesus-Awarded
Fully Compensated
No Deductions
For Nor By Mercy Sanctioned
Eternal Gross Pay!

NOW Is The Accepted Time Of Salvation!
NOW Is The Time - Don't You Delay
For The Lord Is Willing
With You To Reason
No Matter What Your Life's Season!

He Will Listen To What You Have To Say
AND
If You Have Questions
Know For A Surety
That He Will Answer All
For
He Is The Creator God
Of Everything
Great And Small
On Under
Above The Blue Ball!

Please Know
Without Fear And Failing
That Jesus Christ
Is The Answer
Whereby You Can Reclaim
ALL
That Was Lost To Us
Because Of Man's
Satan-Inspired
Ignoble Fall!

Trust In The Lord!
Call On His Name!
Believe In His Promises!
Walk In His Way!
Live In His Light!
Take From That Holy Hand The Offered Blessing!
From Cherished Sin Walk Away
AND
By Jesus Christ The Righteous
Enter
The Land Bright With Everlasting Day!
