HAPPY SABBATH + The True Beauty Of Jesus Christ!









Beloved,
I Am Going To Tell You A Bit About
The Holy God That We Serve!
You May Have Heard It
From A Different Perspective
But
I Desire To Tell You
Of The God
That It Is Neglected
To Preach About
In The Modern Church!

Men Say:
"The Devil Is In The Details!"
But
I Say That He Is Just A Copy Artist!

God The Son
The Word
The Working Arm Of The Godhead
Made Detailing His Signature Work
AND
It Is The Only Way That Jesus Christ Works!

By The Hand Of Jesus Christ
We Were Made Of Dust
AND
Yet ... Unbidden
We Secrete Oil And Water!

The Dust Is Clothed
AND
The Cloth Is Made Of "Waterproof Thread"
For
Inside Of Each Man Flows
Liquids
That Cannot Be Inadvertently Spilt
BUT
Can Be Spilt
As Personally Willed
AND
Also Can Be
By Violence - Maliciously
Whereupon
If The Red Liquid Aggressively Flows Out
Sorry To Say It
We Are Killed!

Take A Look!
Cop A Feel
From The Palm Of Your Hand
Gentle? Firm? Hard?
Nice?!
Now ... Slap A Man!
AND
Note
That The Same Hand Gentle
Can Inflict
AND
Feel
Hurt And Pain
AND
The God Who Created It
- As Us -
His Divinity
Having Been Shrouded In Humanity
Felt
Feels
From Our Hands
The Same!

Use Your Eyes!
Either One
Or
Both
Will Do!
Look In Awe At The Moon!
Look With Love At The Baby Born This Past Noon!
Look Fearfully Upon The Destruction Men Work
AND
Recognise
AND
Appreciate
The Creative Power Of
The Word
That In Us
On Us
Stills Works!

Remember The Baby?
Think
And Know
That Mere Men Procreate!
The God Of Heaven
Gives Unto Us
The Ability To Make Versions Of Ourselves!
At Will!
Are We Grateful?
Oftentimes  ... Not!
AND
The Sign Of Our
Ingratitude
Is How
When We Give Our Babies
The Blot!

Our Great God
Of The Magnificent Details
Is The Designer
Builder Of  The Holy Temple
Designer Of High Priest Robes
AND
Common Priest Garments
A Fabricator Of Utensils
A Perfumer
A Carpenter
A Carver
An Engraver
A Precious Stone Cutter
A Draper
A Color Artist
A Tape Measure
A Refiner
A Lover Of Beautiful Things
A Creator Of Glorious Music
Musical Instruments
AND
The Musical Voice
AND
He Is The Same God
Who Gave Unto Men
CHOICE!
AND
Personal Voice!

Jesus Christ 
Is An Expansive Economist
A Judicious Justifier
A Saving Sanctifier
A Loving Lord
AND
A Glorifying God!

Jesus Christ
Is Meek
Gentle
Mild
Inoffensive
Caring
Incapable Of Lies!

Just For A Minute ...

Think On A Microscopic Creature
Beautifully Rendered
In Glorious Detail
AND
Think On How
Your Heart Beats
Your Digestive System Functions
AND
Your Skin Performs
Without Fail
AND
Wonder Why
Self-Absorbed Men
Feel
- That For Them -
Christ's Salvation
Is Irrelevant
AND
Then Quail!
Really Quail
For Their Presumptuous Arrogance
As They With The Damned Copyist
Unreservedly Dance!

The God Who Designed
Ordered
Underpants For Priests
AND
One-Off Perfume On Penalty Of Death
To Scent His Tabernacle
AND
Edging For High Priest Robes
With Gold Bells
AND
Pomegranates Of
Blue, Purple And Scarlet
AND
Drapery With Cunning Work
Drapery Hooks
Nails
AND
Lavers To Hold Wash Water
AND
A Mercy Seat
Of Exquisite Detailing
Of Gold
With Surpassing Figure Work Of Cherubim
In Very Specific Posturing
AND
Particular Bread Recipes
AND
Cooking Oil
Of Specific Compounding
Even Unto 
Washing The Dusty Desert Floor
With The Dew Of Heaven
So That the Bread Of Angels
Could Fall On A Clean Plate
To Saying
How - In Faith
When - All The Time
Where - Everywhere
Why - For Everything
Who - Every Body
May Approach Him

Is The Holy God

Who Asks - Not Demands -
Asks Us Gently
To Come 
AND
Be At Home
With Him
In Him
Blessed Of Him
Because
He Loves
He Cares
He Blesses
He Transforms
He Reforms
He Regenerates
He Molds
He Fashions New Hearts
New Bodies
New Lives
New Creations
AND
Renders
In The Fullness Of Time
Immortal Bodies
Immortal Souls
For All
Who Believe
Who Love
Who Trust
Who Honor
Who Worship
Who Pray
Who Praise
Who Confess
Who Repent
Who Walk In Faith
In Humility
Enduring The Cross
As He Bore His
So That We May Wear
His Royal White Robe Of Righteousness
AND
His Appointed Golden Crown

Is The Same Holy God Who

Treasures Specificity In Performance
AND
Love For The Work
From The Diligent Worker In The Field
Sharing His Word!

Jesus Christ Does Not Play!
He Didn't Play At His First Coming!
He Isn't Playing Now
For He Is Currently Working 
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding For Us All!

Jesus Christ Is Excellent
As Creator
As Savior
As Redeemer
Provider
Sustainer
Maintainer
Intercessor
AND
When He Finally Doffs
His High Priest Robes
AND
Don's His Robes Of State
He Shall Be Most Excellent
As Conquering King
AND
Executing Judge!

I Serve The King!
Do You?!

A Few Things!








Some Thing
Any Thing
Nothing
Good Thing
Bad Thing 
Every Thing
Fling D. Thing
Sing D. Thing
Ring D. Thing
AND
Wing D. Thing
Make Up A Segment Of The Grand Things Family!
The List Of Things Is Endess
AND
Their Lust For Trivial Things Is
Mind-boggling!

We Should Note That
Just Like Every Other Family
There Is
A Doctor
Who Believes He Can Mend Every Thing!
A Dentist
Who Loves To Dig Drill And Fill In Some Things!
A Priest 
Who Is Always Available To Hear Confessed Things!
A Psychiatrist 
Who Can Analyze All Things!
A Mommy 
Who Is Ever Ready To Show That 
She Equally Cares For All Things!
A Daddy 
Who Is The Boss
And Who Fires Shots At Misbehaving Things!
An Uncle Wingnut Thing
AND
An Aunty Tender Thing 
Who Is The Favored Friend To All 
And Every Thing She Can In Her Eyes See!

Would You Get To Your Point, Pretty Please?!

Well ...

Rancid Thing
Butt Up On Praying Thing
AND
What Rancid Thought
He Could Notch Up To A Fling Thing
Turned
Into A Very Serious Thing!

You Don't Say!
How Serious Was This Thing?!

Well, Let Me Tell You
That That Serious Thing
Became A Vital Thing
Became A Gargantuan Thing
That Ended In A Marriage
BUT
They Don't Wear Rings!

Rancid Thing Got Converted
AND
He Became A Refined Thing
A Reformed Thing
AND
Between Reformed
AND
Praying
They Petitioned God
About
Eternal Things
Casting Aside
Useless Things
Forbidden Things
Carnal Things
Selfish Things
AND
Finite Things
Preferring To Walk Tall
Straight And True
Humble Before The Master
Sharing Spiritual Things
With Me And You!

Powerful Things Happened, I See!

Amazingly
All Their Ordinary Skills
Proved Extraordinarily Useful Things
Which Quickly Produced Exquisitely Simple Things
Elegant Things
Soft Things
AND
Gentle Things
Which Caused Even Grumpy Things To Sing!
It Was Amazing And Beautiful Time
For All Things!

Ahem!
What Is The Purpose Of This Thing, Ms. Thing!

Just Testing Out
A Thing Or Two
To See If It Will Become Something Useful
If Not To Me
Perhaps To You!

Oh ... 
You Wanted To Say Some Thing
To Some Body
To See If Any Body
Would Holler Back At You!

Who Knows!
Maybe!
Perhaps!
Possibly!
Some Thing Like That!

Don't You Dare Start Thinging Again!


A Necessary Thing To Me
Is Prayer!

A Vital Thing To Me
Is The Gospel Of Jesus Christ To Share!

A Compassionate Thing To Me
Is To - In Truth - Share The Salvation Story!

AND

The Best Thing Of All 
Is To Say
That Man Can Share God's Glory
Which Is An Unfathomably Glorious Thing!

FAITH: Patience! + PRAYER: Lord, I Come As A Child ...!






Patience Is A Virtue!
AND
Patient
Obedient
Endeavoring
Through Christ Jesus
Leads Unto Eternal Life!

Getting Flustered
Because You Can't Get
Instant Gratification
Only Wears On The Nerves
AND
Does Not Gain One
A Blessing
BUT
Ascribes To One
A Curse!

Do You Believe
The Living Word Says:

"But Let Patience Have
Her Perfect Work ...!"

Because It Needed Something Cute To Say?!

No!
Patience Is A Necessity
For God's Children
BECAUSE
Instant Gratification
Is
Satan's Best ... Ploy
For
A Botched Life ... Play!

Take Time To Think!
Take Time To Pray!
Take A Little Breath
AND
Ask Jesus Christ
To Lead You On Your Way!

Hasty Pudding Ain't Tasty!
It's Just Prepared Fast
AND
That Is All You Get
Besides Wasted Ingredients
AND
Grimaces
From The Faces
Whose Tongues
Your Abomination Did Blast!

So, Be Patient ...

Try Counting
From One To 100
Using Only One Sound
While Enunciating Every Number!
If
You Can Do That
For Sure, My Friend
You Can Surely Steal
Lightning's Thunder Fast!

One Step!
Two Steps!
Three Steps!
Four!
Foot
In Front Foot
Walking
That's How You Exit a Door!

Running Through Glass Doors
Breaks the Glass
AND
Hurts
AND
Also Cuts You Up
So, Please
Take A Page
Out Of Patience's Book
AND
By Jesus
Your Name Will Be Written
Plain
Boldly
In The Lamb's Book Of Life
Where None 
- No Angel
No Demon
No Loose Man Playing King -
Can Remove It
For
You Will Have
- In Patience -
Walked With The Master
AND
Will
- In The Glorious Day -
With The Other Faithful
Patient Ones
Be Joyfully Celebrating!



PRAYER:

Father,
I Come To You As A Child
Seeking Guidance!

In Sincerity Of Heart, Lord
I Desire To Be Perfect
So I Am Pleading With You
To Help Me To Allow
Patience
To Do Her Perfect Work In Me
So That
In The Coming Day
I Will Have Held On The Promise
For The Win
To Become Perfect As My Master
Who Is Holy And True!

Help Me Not To Get Caught Up
In The Minutiae Of This World
Wrangling
Wresting
Wrestling To Be Eminent
And
Ending Up
Living In And With Known Sin
And
In Ratcheted Chains
Struggling To Be Free
But
In Vain!

Father,
Open My Eyes
Unstop My Ears
And
Fashion Me A New Heart
So That I Will Willingly
Give Unto You
For Safe Keeping
My Will And My Way!
Please Bound Up My Will
To Do Your Bidding
So That I From You May Never Stray
To Carry On Like A Clamoring Upstart!

Lift Me Up To Honor You, Lord!
And
Teach Me To Walk In Faithful Patience
Each Day!
And, Lord,
Let Not Satan Get The Mastery Of Me
To Turn Me Into A Knackered Out Steed
For
I Love
And
Worship
Only You!
Please Bless Me
So That
Spiritually
In Have Need Of Nothing!
In Jesus' Holy Name I Humbly Plead!
Save Me!
AMEN.

ALMIGHTY GOD: No Convenience! + PRAYER: I Honor You, Lord!






I Go To God For Blessings!
I Go To God For Comfort 
AND
Peace Sweet
AND
I Also Go To God
Because
Without Him
I Am In This Life 
Dreadfully Incomplete!

I Seek Not To Mold God
In My Image!
I Have No Power
To Humble God
At My Feet
BUT
I Do Thank God
That I Know
That He IS God
AND
Sovereign Lord
AND
I Honor Him
For His Love
For Me
Is Blessedly Sweet!

Why Should The Living God
Be To Me
An After-Thought?
Why Should Almighty God
Be To Me
A Mere Bank?
Why Should The Saving God
Be To Me
An Escape Route
When
By Having Him
As My All And All
I Can Be Reformed
Regenerated
Wholly Loved
AND
Made Clean
To Live Forever
In The Day Coming
AND
Because Of Him
Among The Stars
- At Will -
May Shoot!

God Through Jesus Christ
Is NOT My Convenience!
God IS
My Shepherd
My Very Best Friend!
God IS My First
My Last
My Beginning
AND
My End
AND
By Loving Him
Living For Him
Exercising Jesus' Faith
- Through Work Because Of Returned Love -
I Can Hope
For Things
That I See No Evidence Of!

PRAYER:

Father,
In Heaven
I Beseech You
To Bless Me Again
With Things, Thoughts
And
Insights
That Only A Holy God
Will Freely Share!

I Bless You, Lord
 For Yesterday!
I Thank You For Today's Blessing
And
For The Grace
That Gives Me Hope
For Tomorrow
All Because
It Is To You
The Holy, Loving, God
To Whom I Say My Prayers!

Teach Me, Lord,
To Love You More!
Teach Me, Lord,
To Seek You More
And
Draw Me, Lord
To That Open Door
So That I May Enter
By Perfected Right
To Live
In Bright Mansions
On The Peaceful Shore!

I Love You, Lord!
Bless Me!
I Trust You, Lord!
Lead!
I Am Your Child!
Comfort Me!
I Honor You, Lord!
Please, Speak!

Comfort Me With Your Holy Spirit
And
Let Holy Angels
Protect Me
As I This Day
Come And Go
And
Please Forgive Me
For My Trespasses
Against You
For You Are The God Holy True!
I Ask My Petitions
In The Matchless Name Of Jesus
From Whom All Blessings Flow!
AMEN.

STOP DABBLING: The Sulphurous Stench Of ... Sin!





Dibble Liked To Dabble
On The Borders Of Sin
Until The Day He Dribbled
AND
His Ball
Into Sin's Hoop
Did Go In!

Properly Stunned!
Emotionally Shocked!
Evidently Elated-Flabbergasted!
Dibble Tried To Dribble In Reverse
AND
That
Is When He Saw For Himself
That Dabbling With
Near
AND
Around Sin
Will Always
- When Least Thought-Expected -
Inevitably Lead
To The Thing Called
The Curse!

Hey, Nurse? How Do You Reverse A Curse!"
How Does One Put A Curse In Reverse!

Pray! Pray!
Back Back!
Back Away!
Turn Around!
Confess!
Repent!
AND
Never Walk That Way Again!
Trust Jesus!
Trust Jesus At
AND
Obey
His Word
AND
Your Life 
Will Be Bettered
AND
Cannot Be Made Worse!
Thereby
Is The Curse Reversed!

Dibble Was Good
For A While
BUT
Paradoxically
Dibble Again Dabbled
AND
Dabbling Dibble
Bit The Bait
AND
Don't You Know
The Unexpected 
BUT
Projected Result Was Achieved
AND
Dabbled-Out Dibble
At His Current Condition
Did Cry
AND
Wheeze And Sneeze!
He Had Snot All Over His Face!

Dibble?!
Dibble?!
Dibble?!
Why Did You Dabble In Sin ... Again?!
Did You Not Learn The First Second Lesson?!
Were The Words To You Vain?!
Don't You Understand
That Breaking Wind In The Wind
Leaves A Stench Undeniable
Marked With Sulphur
That Makes Eyes Run Water
Leaving You
For The Gross Crime
Liable?!

Accountability
Does Not Any Man Trust!
Accountability
Exacts Payment!
There's No Credit!
Cash On The Barrel Head
On The Payday
Is A Must!

One Does Not Play With Sin
AND
Walk Away
Unscathed
For
Playing With Sin
Is Like
Playing With Tar In White Pants!
It Always Leaves
A Big Black Mark
Small
Medium
Large
Always Evident
Indelible
Until
The Sin Cleaner's
Cleansing Flow
Floods Your Heart
AND
Takes Charge!

Soooooo ...
What Can Wash Away My Sin?!

All Together Now:


"NOTHING ... But The Blood
Of Jesus!"


Sooooo ...
What Can Make Me Clean Again?!


NOTHING ... But The Blood
Of Jesus!


Oh, Lead Me To The Flow!
I Want To Be White As Snow!
I Don't Want Sin's Scarlet Anymore!
I Desire The Cleansing Of The Blood
That Comes From
Holy Jesus!

Lord,
Save Me Now!
Help Me To Stop Acting Like
A Free Ranging Cow
Always Eating Feed Like A Breeding Sow!
Lead Me To Safe Refuge!
Lead Me, Lord!
Lead Me Now!

AMEN!

***********

There Is Nothing
Trivial
About Sin!
There Is Nothing
Blessed About
For One's Own Sin
Paying!
So,
Think On Jesus Christ!
To Your Heart
Let Him In
And
Your Very Own
Personal Victory
Over Sin
Is
A Winning Undertaking!!
