JESUS SAVES : Spread The Good News!





Telling Someone The Truth 
In Love 
Is Neither Bigoted 
Nor Unkind.


My Life Had Been Offensive To Jesus
BUT
I Responded To The Call Of Grace
AND
In Response To The Receiving Of God's Free Grace
My Heart Became Full
AND
God Sent Me Out To Proclaim
His Mercy To Others
Telling Them That Repentance
Brings God's Forgiveness Full
AND
Renders The Gross Sin Culled!

I Who Had Received
Of The Blessing Of Grace
Could Not Keep The Good News To My Self
AND
Like One Going On A Mission For Jesus Christ
I Started Telling Everybody
That Trusting In Christ
Brings A Person
A Blessed And Brand New Safe Life
Seeing
But Not Experiencing
The Active Sinner's Life's Strife!

I Have Heaven To Gain
AND
Desire Others To Know The Truth!
I Have A Golden Crown To Look Forward To
AND
Want Others To Look Forward
To Wearing Golden Crowns, Too!
AND
I Have A Story To Tell
To Enlighten The Dark World
Saying To All Wanderers:


Life Is Safe In The Eternal God's Fold -
Come And Walk In Truth With Me!
Come In Out Of The Cold
And Trust Jesus
And Tell Satan 
With Confidence Fierce Bold
'Get Thee Hence!
Living For Jesus
Is Now My Soul's Sole Goal!
I Am Officially Off Of 
The Double-Minded Man's Rotting Fence!'

In Christ
Truth Needs No Good Memory!
In Christ
Desire For Heaven
Renders Earthly Desire
To Be As Pestilential Lice!!
In Jesus
All Hope Is In Honoring The Lord!
In Jesus
The Savior
His Life In Us Visible
Is Down Payment
For The Coming 
Great
AND
Joyous Reward!

The Blessings I Received From Jesus
I Share To Make Others
As Happy As Me
For
I Want To Hear From My Master:


Welcome Home, Beloved!
You Are Living With Me 
From Henceforth
And For Eternity!

I No Longer Run Wild With Satan!
I Now Work Willingly For My Lord!
I Walk Safely With My God
For We Agree
AND
Walk Together
In True And Blissful Accord
For
The Love Of Jesus Christ
Constrains My Actions
AND
Totally Satisfies
AND
Blesses Me
With Clear And Heavenly Light!


Please ... Come Share My Joy!

Bless A Brother
Bless A Sister
With The Holy Gospel Of Truth
And
Be Wholly Blessed
Of The Eternal God!

Presumption Is A Sin! + PRAYER: Father, I Hear You!







The Leaders Of Today
Are Like King Saul In The Prophet Samuel's Day
AND
Fearing The People We Could Say
AND
The Word Of The Lord
They Doth Flagrantly Disobey!

There Is No Excuse For Presuming
Upon The Mercies Of The Living God
For He Gives Mercy Freely
As Protection Against The Cruel Fraud!

Presumption Is Sin
AND
The Protection Of Holy Angels We Lose
Then
The Holy Spirit
Is Grieved Away
Leaving Us To Howl At The Moon
When Evil Spirits
With Our Mind Gaily Play!

The Lord Said: "Don't!"
The People In Lust Of Heart Say: "By All Means Do!"
Thus The Godly Word Is Denigrated
AND
The Word Of Sin Is Borne Aloft
AND
Man
In Vile Arrogance
At The Living God Does Scoff!

And God ...

When Man Has Gone Too Far Left
To Ever Be Considered Right
Sends The Word With The Prophet:

"You Are Rejected!
I Find In You No Delight!"

Then The Man
Who Had All The Power
In Crocodile Tears
Of Despair
Is Willing To Skin Cuffings
So That He Can Still Keep The Power
AND
Get The Perks And The Pay!

God Has A Line
That No Man Should Ever Cross!
That Is The Line Of Presumption
Believing
Because He Is One Chosen
That God Will Fawningly Permit
Malicious Sin
To Get A Free Pass!

So ...

A Word To The Wise
Should Ever Be Sufficient
On This Day
For
For The Sin Of Presumption
We Are Assuredly Going To Pay!

God Is Not Blind!
God Wears No Glasses!
AND
God Has No Rolling Walking Stick!
God Does Not Play Favorites
And Burnt Offerings
Won't Make The Living God
His Lips Of Fire To Lick!

If God Says: "Do!"
Our Job Is To Say:"Doing!"
AND
"Done!"
AND
If We Don't Know How To Proceed
We Are To Say To The Lord:

"Father, Please Show Me How
This Race To Run?!"

And ... The God

Who Sends Us
Will Show The Way
AND
Provide All 
That Is Needed
With His Desires To Faithfully Comply 
In The Very Day!

Victory In Jesus
Should Never Be Just A Song!
Victory In Jesus
Should Be The Oil
That Moves True Believers Along!

Faith Should Never Be An Expedient
Nor A Coin In The Church
But Should Be The Be All
To End All Sins
That Cause Good Men
Grandly To Fall!

Weak Will!
Weak Conscience!
Stand For Anything!
Fall For Everything!
Presumption!
Denunciation!
Denial!
Rejection!
AND
Death!
This Is The Path Walked
By All
Who Will Run The Race
Like Old King Saul!


PRAYER:

Dear Father,
Your Call To Salvation
To Right Living
I Do Hear!
Please Help Me, Lord
Your Blessed Word To Obey!
I Can Do Nothing
My Own Soul To Save
So, Please, Lord
I Beseech You
To Help Me
Walking In Your Way To Crave!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

*********

Honor God

And He Will 

Honor You!

The Guardian And The Guide!




I Walked
As One Rudderless!
Aimless!
My Existence Pointless!

The Guardian And The Guide!

I Spoke
As One Spineless
Oft' Witless
And Most Assuredly Felt Useless!

THE GUARDIAN AND THE GUIDE!

Who's Saying That!?

The Guardian AND The Guide!

Come On! You're Kidding,  Right?!

Vanita!

Yes, Please!?

You Called Me!
You Were Praying!
You Asked If Jesus Christ Is Real!
You Stated
In Determined Tone
That You Were Feeling
All Alone
And Cried Aloud
So Grievously:
Jesus, If You Are Real
Please Guard!
Please Guide!
Oh,  Lord, Help Me!
And ... I Am Here!

Good Gracious!
Oh, How I Hoped You'd Be Real!
People Say You're Not
But I Hoped And ...!

I AM As Real As You Will Permit Me To Be To You! 

Brethren,
Here Lies The Problem
With Christian Faith And Believe!
We Have Faith!
But Not Enough!
We Believe In God
... But Wonder:

Is He Really Up To Snuff?!
Can He Really Deliver
In My Moment Of Distress?
If I Really Trust Him
Will He Truly Me Bless?!

What If I Place All My Trust In Him
AND
I Am Disappointed
Can Our Relationship Really Be?!
Does He Really Care
OR
Is My Faith And Belief
Really Me
Living On Light And Air?!

Oh,  Lord
My Heart Is In Despair!
I Can't Touch You!
I Don't Feel You!
I Don't See Your Hand Work ...

My Child,
Look Again!
Look Around!
Look Within!
You Are My Handiwork!
I Made All For My Pleasure!
I Do Not Make Broken Toys!
I Made You
To Bless You!
To Have You Share In My Joys!
Please Do Not Trust Your Feelings
For
They Lead To Fads And Fantasies!
Check The Holy Record Of My Character
And Repair To Me!
Trust Me In Your Reason
Not Your Chemically-Motivated Heart!
Let's Reason Together
For
I Have Answers
That Will Bless You
Most Wonderfully!

What I Do For You
Will Bless You
For Heaven
And,  No!
You Are Not Receiving That Fast Car
For
If I Gave You
All Your Carnal Heart's Desire
Hell's Gate To You Will Be Wide Open
Ajar!

Yes!
No!
Wait!
My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee!
Are All Answers
The Timing Of Which Is For Your Best!
Trust Me To Deliver You To Heaven
And Not Into Earthy Mansions
Which To Your Soul Are Deadly!
Earthly Comforts Tend To The Destruction Of The Soul
So Strive For The White Robe And The Pure Gold Crown!
Come Unto Me As You Labor
And I Will Make You Whole! 

Then ... You Are My Shepherd!?

Yes!
And In Me 
You Will Never Know Want
And My Ear Is Ever Available Unto You 
Until The Day You Die!

Heaven Awaits Servant-For-The-Savior Corps!





I Had Always Aspired To Be A Servant!
A Faithful Servant Of The Living God
Ready
Willing
AND
Able To Do His Bidding
For The Ultimate In Blessing And Reward!

I Thought
On The Ultimate Servant
He Who Died
To Make My Treasured Position Possible
AND
Realized
That Love Makes The Work Ennobling
AND
Keeps Satan Out Of My Business
For
In God's Service
I Am On Prayer
Wrapped Up And Floating!

Working Honorably
In The Master's Service
Requires The Setting Aside  Of
Vanity
Airs And False Graces!
I Must Be Willing
To Make The Stand Unpopular
With The Rallying Call:

Death Before Dishonor
Though The Heavens May Fall!

For
I Am Nothing To Do 
With Doing A King Saul!

My Clothing
Was Changed Upon Entering 
Heaven Awaits Servant-For-The-Savior Corps!

Upon Entry
I Had To Leave Behind
Past Life
Willing Sinner
Self
Self-Satisfaction
Self-Gratification
Self-Service
Selfishness
Hate
Intemperance
Heedlessness
Greed For Gain
You Know ... Me-Itis
On The Chopping Floor!

I Willingly
Gifted Back My Will To Jesus
AND
Started Walking
In The Master's Way
Being Ever Ready
Daily
To Do As He Lovingly Says!

I Learned In The Servant-For-The-Savior Corps
That Constant Prayer Is A Must
For Help
For Strength
For Light
For Wisdom
To See The Wrong
AND
To Do The Right
To Make Peace
To Live With Hope
To Plead For Mercy
To Embrace Grace
To Be A Living Light
To Learn That The Earthly Fight
Is Not Won
By Power Nor Might
AND
That The Spirit Of The Living God Is Real
AND
Will Bud In Us
AND
Will Grow In Us
When
We Denigrate
AND
Deny Self
AND
Put The Love Of God
In Our Hearts
AND
Destroy The Self-Made Idols
That Had Obscured
Living Faith
Faith For Today
Faith And Works
Beauty In Truth
AND
All The Like Kindred
That Would Show
Jesus In Me
As My Changed Life's Proof!

While Working For The Lord Is Easily Hard
It Makes Living In The Hard World Easier!
I Recognized
That I Didn't Have To Have
Baubles And Beads
AND
Fashionable Creeds And Steeds!

I Realized
That I Can Live On A Little
Living For Him
Who Loves Me Best
AND
I Permit The World To Keep Its Oysters
For
By Faith
I'm With Jesus
Confidently Walking To
AND
Will Ultimately Walk Through 
The Pearly Gates Of Heaven Blessed
All My Known Sin
Forgiven
For
They Will Have Been Penitentially Confessed!

Field Work Is Available!
Will You Apply?

SALVATION: A Gift That Man's Money Can't Buy!






Gifts Are To Be Treasured!
The Giver Is To Be Blessed!
BUT
Be Careful
Who You Are Blessing
For The Gift 
May Not Be From
The Father Of Lights
Who Holds Your Heavenly Interests
In Plain Sight!

BUT ...

There Is One Gift
Worthy
From The Only One 
Worthy
To Be Praised!

Salvation
Is A Gift From God
Purchased
With The Blood Of The Son
Beloved
Precious
Sent From Heaven Above
To Acquire For Us
A Pre-Paid Return Ticket
Home
To The Heavenly Father
The Eternal God Of Holy Love!

Salvation
Can Be Likened Unto A Favored Puppy
Overloved
BUT
Suffering From Neglect!
We Hug!
We Snuggle!
We Tickle!
We Play!
But Then
We Never Give The Favored Puppy
Nourishing Food
And Clean Water
Nor A Bath
When Its Body
Has Dirt More Than A Speck!

Salvation Can Be Seen
As A Beating Heart!
We Take It For Granted!
It Is Just There
BUT
Always In The Dark!
It Beats!
We Accept It!
It Pumps Life-Giving Blood
BUT
In The DayThat  It Goes Quiet
There Is Nothing That We Can Do
AND
The Family Cries Tears Like Unto A Flood!

How Shall We Stand
If Neglected Is Our Salvation?
How Will We Stand
When The Father Closes The Door?
How, Brother Sister
Will You Enter The Kingdom
When Your Purchased Salvation
Your Ticket
Is Upside Down
Torn
Under A Cupboard
On The Dirty Dirt Kitchen Floor?

Preservation 
Is For Saints!
Destruction
Is For The Damned!
What Is Your Marker?
Tell Me ... If You Can?

Salvation Is A Gift
That Man's Money
Can't Buy!
It Gives The Receiver Wings
AND
A Path By Which To Heaven 
He Will In The Gospel Train Fly!

Salvation Is A Gift 
From The Holy God
Bought With Holy Blood
Packaged With Mercy
AND
Delivered By Grace
To Be Accepted By A Heart Filled With Praise
To Be Held Securely In Hands Made Steady By The Blessed Hope
AND
Gazed Upon By Eyes Filled With Faith
AND
Gratefully Stored
In The New Man Indwelt By The Holy Spirit
In The Regenerated Heart Of Flesh
Beating Valiantly 
For Jesus Christ
The Only One Righteous
Who Willingly Died To Save Us!

PLEASE  ...

Don't Treat Your Gift Lightly!
It Comes From Him Who Loves Us Best
So Treasure It Rightly
AND
The Giver's Holy Name 
Joyously
To The Dying World
Confess!


People? 
Please Join Me
And
Let's Say Reverently: 
Thank You, God! Yes!
I Accept The Gift Of Salvation!
I Am Highly Favored
And
Gloriously Blessed!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tasty Pasties Don't Fill The Soul!






In The Day Of Each Man's Decision
He Will Either Say:

Come And Hear
For I
In Holy Fear
Will Declare
What God Has Done For My Soul!

OR

In The Arrogance Of His Heart
In The Attitude Of The Discontent Of His Ungrateful Soul
In Wilful Defiance Of The Holy God
He Will Boldly Ask:

What God?
What Has "God" Ever Done For Me?!

In That Day
He Will Have Seen
His Soul's Savior's Eternally Marred Hands
First
Beckoning Him By Mercy
Extending Grace
BUT  ...
In The Day Of Vengeance
He Will See Them
Finally
Executing Justice
AND
Denying Mercy!

The Open Eye
Has Opportunity
To Behold The Love Of God!
BUT
The Closed Heart
Embraces Opportunity
To Take Part
In The Feast Of The Fraud!

Look To The Lord Christ
Who Made Us All!
Listen To The Holy Spirit
Who Comforts And Teaches
When We Follow The Lord!
Look To The Father
Who For Eternal Love
Gave His Son To Save Us All
AND
Decide
Oh, Educated Consumer
If Almighty God Shall Have
Control Of Your Bouncy Ball
For Once 
AND
For All!


Tasty Pasties
Fill The Body But Not The Soul!
The Bread Of Heaven
Fills The Soul
AND
Makes Heaven The Longing Soul's Sole Goal!
Think Wisely
Of The Sacrifice
That Permits Us To Make Prayers 
And Petitions Bold
AND
With A Death Grip
Grab Hold 
Of The Holy Hand
Of The Savior And Redeemer Of Your Soul!

God Is Not A Man
So He Cannot Be Mocked!
He Is The Holy God Of Heaven
AND
Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Is The Shepherd Of The Flock
So ...
Put Down The Phone To Satan
AND
Put His Number On Block
AND
In The Name Of Jesus
Let Your Heart To God's Heart 
Be Permanently Locked!

Faith Is Not Fleeting
When Daily
We Are With God Meeting!
Read Your King James Every Day
AND
Lift Your Heart To God
AND
Sincerely
Fervently Pray!

Talk Some
BUT 
Listen A Lot, Too
For Almighty God Has Much To Us To Say
AND
Remember 
That "No!"  Is Also An Answer
Even If
It Is Not What We Desire To Hear!

Trust The Lord!
Follow The Good Shepherd!
Walk As One To Heaven Wise
AND
Firmly Dismiss
With An: "It Is Written ... !" 
All 
That Satan Will Against You
Devise!



The God Of Heaven

Does Not Sleep

So His Eyes Are Ever On

His Blessed

And

Greatly Beloved Sheep!

Be A Lamb!
Be A Sheep!
But Whatever You Do
Be Never A Ram Called Goat
For God Is The Leader
And Goats Don't Follow
For They Love To Pull Rope!
