Stand Upon The Rock!

I Draw My Life From My Jesus!
In Him
I Can Neither Wither
Nor Fruitless Be!
I Stand Upon The Rock Of Ages
AND
From Him
Flows Living Water Freely!

The Water From The Rock
Gives Life Unto Me!
My Foundation Built On The Rock
Gives My Life
Glorious Stability!
The Rock Is Reliable!
It Makes My Heart To God Pliable
AND
Makes My Hope For Heaven
In Jesus' Holy Name
So Much More
Than Merely Viable!

The People Of God
Must Understand
AND
Believe
That The Closer We Get To The Promised Land
The More Satan Will Us Try To Deceive!
Satan Is Well Able
To Tell The Time
In The Business Of Sin's Shut-Down Clock
Which Tells Him Of A Surety:

Bud, Your Time Is Just About Run Out!

Satan Is Desperate!
Satan Has Nothing To Lose!
Satan Is Fighting His "Good" Fight Of Self-Faith
AND
He Is Desperate To Destroy Anything
That In Jesus Christ's Love Is Bathed!

Self-Worship
- Iced With Pride -
Has Made The Vile Sinner
Rabid
Willing That Jesus' Saints
Be To Him Witheringly Denied
AND
If There Is Just One
That He Can Overcome
By His Dread Pursuit
There Is No Risk To His Own Final Outcome
For
Peace To Him Is Already Eternally Lost
AND
He Is Forever
By God
Rejected
Refused!

In Jesus
We Can't To Satan Lose!
With Satan
We Can't Anything From Jesus Win!
So ...
Since The Channels Are Clearly Marked
AND
No Human Will Be Able To Say:

I Was Regarding Sin In The Dark!

So We Had Better Know
Behind Whom We Are Holding Position
For
Without Jesus Christ
There Is No Hope
For A Blessed Eternal Position!

Let Not Satan
Poison Your Hope Tree!
Accept True Freedom In Jesus
AND
From The Gross Liar Flee!

Believe Not Satan's
Pretty-Tied Lies!
Give Your Back To That Dragon
AND
With Jesus Run
The Winners Race
AND
At The Appointed Time
When The Last Trumpet Will Sound
Walk Into Eternity
Singing Joyful Songs
Knowing That
Amazing Grace With Ever Be
The Heart's Favorite Song!

The Rock Is My Salvation!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Victory In Jesus ... With Prayer!

Belief - Obedience = Presumption

I Walked Into The House One Day
AND
I Was Saluted
By Guests
Sitting
Crowded
In My Big Comfy Chair!

They Were Guests Uninvited!
I Did Not Open My Door To Let Them Walk In
BUT
There They All Were
AND
Obviously Led
By That Fearless Wretch Self
AND
His Henchman 
Besetting Sin 
Dressed As A Cartoon Elf!

Besetting Sin
Self
Own-Way
Free-Will
AND
Choice
- As Workmen -
Had Cut Me
Squared Me About
AND
Often Chiseled Me
AND
I Had Had Me Quite Enough
Thank You, Very Much!

I Cried:
"Lord Jesus, Help Me!"
AND
Christian Resistance Walked In
Holding Hands With
Faith For Today
AND
Grace To Help ... 
MY. FULL. SHARE!

My Uninvited Guests
Grasped Hands!
Battle Formation
Being Their Stance
Ready
Willing 
AND
Seemingly Able
Their Diabolic Way To Advance!

BUT ...

The Living God
For Some Time Now
Had Gotten My Attention
AND
I Was Seeking To Become A Jewel
In The Kingdom Of Light
So I Knew
That Burnishing
AND
Polishing
Are Next Up
If I Am To Arrive Safe
In The Great Reward
AND
Not Left Outside
As A Useless Discard In The Night!

Dear Lord,

I Am Your Child!

I Refuse To Be A Bastard!

I Accept My Chastisements!

Please Keep Me Out Of The Kitchen Of The Fraud!

Father, I Accept That

Envy

Malice 

Covetousness

Evil Thinking

And

Evil Speaking

Must From My Character Be Culled!

So, Please

Help Me To Hold On

To My Beloved Jesus

For I Don't Want To Be A Workman Working

In The Vile Camp Of Satan 

Who Wants To Be Worshiped 

Like He Is The Eternal Holy True And One God!

Father, You Say

Who You Love

You Chastise

So I Humble Myself

For I Am Your Child!

Lead Me!

Guide Me!

Please Show Me How To Walk

Even Now As I Pray!

Pity Me!

Have Mercy Upon Me

For I Don't Want For My Own Sin

To Have To Ultimately Pay!

Lord, I Beseech You

To Make Me A Jewel

The One

That With Holy Blood

Innocent

You Sacrificed To Own!

Take Me, Dear Lord!

Make Me Yours

This Very Day

For

I Dare Not Walk By Myself 

All Alone!

I Opened My Eyes
- For I Heard The Noise Of Feet Walking -
In Time To See
My Not-Friends
Heading For The Door!
Then
I Looked To See
"Victory In Jesus!"
Spread Out
Like Lush Carpet
Covering
Windows Crack
Creases Crevices 
AND
The Closing Door!

I Again Bowed My Head
In Supplication
Over That Sin That Doth So Easily Besets
For I Know That Every Human
Has Got One
AND
It Must Be Conquered
If To Holy Heaven
We Expect To Get!

Constant Vigilance!
Constant Prayers!
Constant Communion With The Master!
Constant Reading
AND
Digging
Into The Holy Oracles
Of The Holy God
Are The Ways By Which
We Get Constant Victory
Over Those Things
That Would Rob Us Of The Joy
That Would Be Ours
IF
We From The Paths Of Peace Stray
Along Life's Way!

Lord,

Help Me To Lay Down

My Heavy Sin-Burden!

Help Me To Pick Up Your Yolk

For

You Say It Is Easy

And Your Heavenly Burden Light!

I Believe You!

I Love You!

I Trust You!

Be The Lord Of My Life!

Help Me, Dear Lord

My Cultivated Tendencies To Fight!

Crush My Hereditary Sins 

With The Truth That Is The Light!

Help Me To Fall On The Sword Of The Word

That I May Live Right In Your Sight!

Shield Me, Dear Father

For Dark Is Sight's Night!

Lift Me Up To Heaven

So That My Faith

Will Become A Glorious Sight

And

Seeing My Jesus

Will Indeed Be 

My Redeemed Soul's Delight!

Until The Day Dawns,  Dear Father

Let Contentment In Christ

Be My Corn

As The Wine Of Confused Babylon

I Daily Scorn!

Let The Holy Angels Guard And Guide!

Let The Holy Spirit In Me Abide!

Grant Unto Me Also

The Spirit's Sweet Fruits

And

Hide Me In Your Pavilion

So That I Cannot Become One 

Of Satan's Minions!

Father,

You, The Eternal One

 Are My God

And I

By Jesus Christ

Praise You!

Please Lead Me Home To The Great Reward!

AMEN.

PRAYER : Lord, I Tell Lies To My Self ...!

Lord, I have A Real Problem!

I Tell Lies Unto My Self!

Big Ones

Little Ones

Even Whoppers

And It's Not Pleasant

Looking At The Lie-To-My-Self Shelf!

I Make Up All Kinds Of Stories

As To Why Things Work Out The Way They Do

And, Please

Forgive Me, Dear Father

I Even Lie To My Self

About How Things Are Working

Between Wicked Me And Holy You!

When Things Between Me And My Brethren

Don't Go The Way That They Should

I Make Excuses For Me And For Them

And Say

Perhaps We Misunderstood Each Other 

And From The Hard Truth Turn And Run Away!

Father, I Need You To Help Me 

To Call A Spade A Spade

And

To Stop Making Excuses For Unkindness

And Pretending

About Mistakes That I Have Indeed Made!

Father,

Help To Accept Your "No!"

Your "Tomorrow!"

Your "Not Today!"

Your "Be Quiet

 And 

"Listen!"

Your Firm

"Leave That Alone!"

And

Your Order To

"Turn Aside!"

"Now By Your Self Stand Alone!"

And

"From That Fast Run Away!"

Lord, I Know Of A Truth That You Love Me!

I Know That You Have My Best Interests At Heart!

Lord, Please

My Will I Give To You

Would You Now Cause The Spirit Of Rebellion In Me To Depart?

Help Me, Dear Father

For I Love You, And I Give Unto You My Humble Praise

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Demonic Activity Is Alive And Prospering!

It Is My Belief
That The Closer We Get
To The Second Coming Of The Great King
We Shall Be Seeing A Serious Uptick
In Demon Possessions
And Demonic Activity
Compliments Of The Brazen Sinner
His Wickedness Himself
Satan
The Demon In Chief!

Think About It!
Satan Reads And Writes
AND
Rewriting God's Words
Has Been For Him 
A Special Delight
AND
Awareness Of The Times
AND
The Coming Advent Of The Divine
Would Give Him Major Motivation
To Make More Sinners
Against God More Bold
Acting All Asinine
As True Members Of The Goat's Fold!

Check Your TV Guide
AND
See And Note Who Is Crossing The Divide
AND
Getting The Emotional Uplift
AND
By Treachery
Enticing Mankind
To From The Living God Maliciously Drift!

People Tend Today
To Believe In The Television Demoniacs
Not Realizing
That The Real Real Demons
Are In A Well-Dressed
Well-Spoken
Educated 
Monied
Power-Hungry Explosion!

Check Back To The Time
Of Christ's Trial And Subsequent Execution!
Demon-Indwelt Men
Were Doing The Major Talking
Inspiring The People
To Act Violently
Based On A Fable
Prettily Spewed At 
The Sanhedrin's Trial Table!

Jump Forward To Today
AND
Look At The People Who
In High Life Hold Sway!
The Men And Women
Who Publicly Display
Their Allegiance
AND
Personal Connections
To Familiar Spirits
AND
Encouraging Their Followers
To Reach Into The Abyss
AND
Feel What They Deny
Will Lead To The Burn
Even As They Enjoy
Sweet Milk From 
The Head Devil's Golden Churn!

The Level Of Malevolence
Displayed Toward Christians Today
Has Gone Exponential
AND
It Cannot Abate
For Its Proponents Know Their Fate!
There Will Be Multiplication
AND
If We In God's Truth 
Do Faithfully Believe
Man's Direct Interaction With Polished Devils
Will Not Be A Stretch Of The Imagination
BUT
Should Serve As The Cement
That Seals Our Faith And Belief
AND
Should Get Us And Keep Us Away From
The Demon-In-Chief!

Rabid Demonic Activity
Confirms God's Blessed Truth
So Do Not Laugh Off TV Demons
As Hollywood  Picture-Making Genius
For The Demons Themselves
Are Operating
The Movie-Making Apparatus!

Bait And Switch 
Is A Known Satanic Delight!
Paint The Black Darkness
With Pulsating White And Bright Light
AND
Watch The Money-Changers In-fight
To Make The Grim And Gross Spectacle
A Movie-Watcher's Delightful 
Bite Of Devilish Dark High Low Insight!

Behold Evil ... And Be Changed
AND
From God Be Estranged!
The Demons Are Done Gone Free Range
AND
Souls-For-Power 
Is The Published Rate Of Exchange!

Behold The Good And The Right
AND
Make Jesus Christ Your Delight!
Be Reconciled Unto The Father
For
The Eternal Kingdom Is Coming
AND
Those Who Refuse The Proffered Blessing
His Countenance Thereon Will Be Frowning!

A Broke Merchant

Cares Not

Who He Breaks Down!

aka

Demons Have Nothing To Lose!

Misery Likes Company!

aka

Satan Can't Go Home

So He Desires Our Company!

If The Person

Cannot Give You A Biscuit

That Will Save Your Life

Do Not Permit Them 

To Take The Living Bread Of Life

Away From You!

If The Word Offered

Will Not Raise You Up

Do Not Permit Anyone

To Take Away

What You Already Know

Is Your Life-Giver!

***********

Jesus Saves Sinners

But

Satan Craves Slaves!

See And Know The Difference

And

CHOOSE

To Be Written On

The Eternally Saved-From-Sin Page!

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!
