My God Can!

My Life-Guard Walks On Water!

My God Breaks Water Out Of SRock!

My Lord Is The Rock Of My Salvation

AND

My Salvation Is Of Jesus Christ

The One Called The Solid Rock!

My Rock Is My Refuge!

My Refuge Is My God!

My God Is Eternal

AND

Eternally The Same

For Which I Am Thankful

For

I Know That He Is Not The God Lame!

My God Is The Same

Yesterday

Today

AND

Forever

AND

Forever

Is Where

I Shall - With Him - Spend

That Which Cannot Be Called Time!

It's Called Eternity!

Eternity Knows Not Time

AND

In The Realm Of Sin

Time Is A Constantly Decreasing Line

AND

Is Not Mine

To Extend

Hold

Or

To Stop

So

I Lift Mine Eyes Unto The Hills

Knowing Full Well

That My God Is Divine

AND

In Him

Through Him

Eternity Will Be Mine!

I Shall Cross

The Separating Line!

Human Life

Is Often By Mere Men Called

A Divine Tragedy

BUT

I ... A Christ Follower

Led By The Spirit Of God

Know ... Of A Surety

That All Divinity Dwells

Within The Holy Eternal

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

Soon Returning God

AND NOT

Satan aka Beelzebub

That Facing Feisty Benighting Old Fraud!

My God

Is

The Shepherd

Leading Sheep That Speak

Of Him Who Died

To Give Us Eternal Life Bona Fide!

The Lord Wept

AND

In The Grave He Slept

BUT

That Grave Could Not Him Have Kept

AND

He Is Coming Again

To Claim Those Who

His Holy Law

Have Faithfully Kept!

Almighty God Is ... The Strength Of My Life!

Almighty God Is ... Faithful, Just And True!

AND

Almighty God Is ... Calling Out To Me

 AND

To You!

Our Almighty God Is Living

Gracious

Giving

Loving

AND

Those Who Trust In Him

Will

In The Fullness Of Time ... See

Unimaginable

Unanticipated

Unexpected

Unbelievable

Holy

Exciting

Real, Real, Living

From Him Who Is The Truth

AND

Oh, So Forgiving!

Bow To Him And See!

In The Past

My God Set A Table In The Desert

AND

Washed The Desert Sands

With His Dew

AND

Rained Down Angel Bread

For Strength-Giving

Good Food!

Today

He Prepares A Table

For Me

In The Presence Of My Enemies

AND

Tomorrow

If We - You, Too - Have

His Holy Word Trusted

AND

Believed

He Will Set A Place

Just For Us

At His Welcome Table

In His Father's House

Where We Will Never Want To Leave!

My God Can Do

AND

Will Do All

For Those Who Trust In His Word!

Trust Him!

He Cannot Fail!

Calling The Prince Of Peace Who Is Calling!

I Walked Gingerly Between

The World's
How Terrible!
AND
That's Awful!
Oh, Hell!
Hot Damn!
AND
You're Screwed!
AND
Knew That
No Way Was I Going To Escape
Unmarked
Unscathed
Unless
The Prince Of Peace
Carried Me Safely Through!

I Just Knew That To Be True!

I Passed A Neighbor-In-Trial
Facing Tribulation
AND
I Asked:

Did You See The Prince Of Peace
On The Way Today?!

He said:

I Really Couldn't Tell You
For
I Was Too Tired
Too Distraught
To Think Straight

To Summon Him
By Persistent, Heartfelt, Prayer!

I Grabbed At That Straw 

That My Neighbor Had So Casually Tossed Me  ...

Summon The Prince Of Peace!

AND

I Said A Prayer
Ever So Softly  ...

Creator Of The Universe
Maker Of Man
I Am In The Cross Road
Would You Please Hold My Hand
For
Life's Traffic Is On Fire
And
That Big Roaring Lion Does Fiercely Roar
And
My Head Is Fair Spinning
And My Hair Is Developing
A Straight Curl!

The Woes! The Woes!

Dear Child  ...

I Looked Toward That Voice
Gently Hailing Me
AND
I Knew Instant Relief From Stress
AND
Distress!

Things Were No Longer Askew
For
Here Was The God Of All!
The Master Of the Sea!
The Soul's Savior!
The Salvation Of Those Who Wanted To Be Saved
AND
Would Be!
The Voice Of The Giver Of Grace!
The Dispenser Of Faith!
The Mediator!
The Man Of Mercy!

AND
The Christ
Who Hell Tried But Couldn't Displace!

I Started Singing
Fit To Beat It
Had There Been A Band
For My Heart Was Soaring
Because He
The Prince Of Peace Is
Securely Holding
My No-Longer-Trembling Hand!

When He Who Is Peace Steps In
Satan Runs Out
So Don't Make Any Sudden Moves -
Always Give Him The First Shout-Out!

In All Endeavors
- To Almighty God -
In The Name Of The Prince Of Peace
Say Your Prayers
For
Comfort
Protection
Provision
Rescue
Thanksgiving
Lamentation
Sorrows
Praise
Worship
Whatever Have You!
Say Your Prayers!
Sing Your Praise!

Get For Your Own Soul
A Secure Hold On
Always Available
Mercy-On-Me
I Sincerely Tell You
AND
Give The Eternal God Glory
Who Giveth Unto The Devil

Your Dog-Biscuits-Of-Sin
AND

Trust In The God Of Heaven
For
Your Unto-Eternity Rescue

For
Eternal Blessings Await!
He Awaits The Call From You!

I Am Calling Him Now!

Won't You Do It, Too?!

The Prince Of Peace Is Calling You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Customized Gods!

The Line In The Comment Said:

"Baal  ... the customizable "god!"

And I Said:

I Gotta Write!

For

This Line Was Just Too Delicious
To Pass Up!

Baal Is The god-Customizable
For All The "Worshippers"
Bend-Pliable
Because
The Eternal God
Unbendingly-unchangeable
Requires Truth
In The Inward Parts
Of All Who
Will Feast At His Welcome Table!

Truth
Purity
Love Of Another
AND
Holy God Charity
Are Not Things Necessary 

To Baal
For Customization
Places Adherents Squarely
In Baal's ThrallAND
If One Is Not Careful
One Will End Up In A Stall
Tied Up In Tight Knots
Unable To Change Position
Even Though
One Has Got The Trots!

The Customizable God
Is A God To One
Free For One

Free-For-All
Which
When The Creator Of All
On The Day Of Vengeance
Stands Above The Ball
Will Show To All And Sundry
Who In Fairy Tales Did Trust

AND

Believe
That
He Wasn't Anything At All!

He Will Show To All

That He Was As Effective As
A Bottle Of Blowing Breeze!

But ...

It Must Be Stated

That This Is As It Should Be
For
A Customizable God
IS Nothing But
Dog Turds
AND
Horse Pasture Patties
Fit To Be But Poor Decoration
As Useful As Cake Flour In The Wind
As Priceless As Salt With No Savor
AND
As Tasty As Egg White
AND
As Beautiful As Crop Blight!

Our God
- The Creator Of All -
Is The God Who Sustains Life Now
AND
Promises ... With Proof
That He Will Give To His Faithful
Eternal Life Later!

For This Reason ...

I Beseeching You, Brethren
Not To Buy A Bill Of Goods
For The Living God Already Proved
That Baal Cannot
The Power Of The Eternal God Withstand
For God
In Baal's Own Grand
Temple
Did Cast Him To The Ground
AND
His Adherents
Putting Him Back On His Stand
Found Him Next Day
Head Severed
Hands Cast Away ...
To Plainly Say That
Baal Is Useless!
He Can't See Hear Nor Speak!
He Can't Hold On To His Own Head!
He Can't Battle For

NOR

Against Anyone Anything
For
He Has Not Got
Working Feet!

A Customizable God
IS
A Not-God Which
It Is Fearful To Declare
Captures Men's Minds By The Satanic Power

Of The Prince Of The Power Of The Air!

This Tells Me Something
AND
Likewise Should Tell You
That The Customizable God
Is A God Of Refuse
For The "Power" He "Holds"
Is From The Lord Of Dung Flies
Who Builds Castles Out Of Crappies
AND
Beautifully Paints Them
With Bold Lies
For He Knows His Time Is Short
AND
His Time Of Terror Is Almost O'er
For The God Of Heaven And Earth
Is Returning
AND
Is Even At The Door!

Don't Collect

The Pay-Check For The Army
That Gives Tissues Of Lies
To Its Blinded Recruits!

Join The Army Of The Majesty Of Heaven
The God Who Does Not Bake Bread

With Pharisee Leaven
The God Who Despises Babylonian Wine
The God Holy, Faithful And True
The God Of Grace And Mercy, Too
The God Who Breathes
Who Sees
Who Cries
The God Of All Creation
Who Paints The Rainbow Of Promise
In The Canopy We Call Sky
The God Who Soon Will Come
To Forever Destroy The Buy-Baal Sellers
AND
Buyers
AND
Take To His Eternal Kingdom
Those
Who Bought The Truth
AND
Sold It Not

Nor His Holy Ways Forgot!

Get Yourself The Real God!
Get The God Who Laid Down His Own Life
For Me

AND

For You
AND
Picked It Up Again
So That You And I
Against It
Can Make Upholdable Claim!

Get Jesus!
Get Almighty God!
Get Jesus Christ
AND
Forever
Get Rid Of That Fraud Satan
AND
His Front-Man Baal
That Totally Customizable
AND
Totally Useful-For-Nothing
Dust-Catcher

Soul-Benighting

Have-No-Hope-To Be-God

Fraud!

A Singular Blessing!

Children Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
There Is A Blessing
If You Walk Not
In The Counsel Of The Ungodly!

That Blessing Hinges On One Step Further
Requiring
That You Stand Not
In The Way Of Sinners
AND
That You Sit Not In The Seat
Of Those With Scornful Ways
AND
It Is Grand
In The Outpouring
Contrasting
Our End
With The End
Of Those Whose Walk Is
- By Studied Choice -
Is Not Godly Nor Chaste!

The Godly Delight
In The Law Of The Lord
AND
Meditate Upon God's Law
Day And Night
AND
God's Blessing
Makes Us Grow
Like Trees Planted
Where Rivers Of Water Flow
So That In Our Due Season
Our Leaves Having Not Withered
We -  Each - Shall Bear Good Fruit
AND
Everything We Do
- Individually -
Shall Prosper
For The Living God Says So!

We All Would Do Well
To Carefully Note
AND
Compare By Contrast
That
Stagnant Water
Does Not Run
AND
Its Note Of Distinction Is
That The Stench It Produces
Is Not To Observers
AND
Passersby's Nostrils
Aromatically Pleasant
Nor Fun!

Therefore ...

In The Eye Of The Beholder
The Sight Is As Offputting
As Is The Smell
Rendering
The Stagnated Ungodly Sinful Scorner
Unfit
In Heavenly Realms
Among God's Righteous People
To Sublimely Dwell!

In The Old Days
The Grandparents Used To Say That:

"Scornful Dog Does Eat Dirty Pudding!"

AND

That Statement Is As True As
John 3 Verse 16
For
Without Spiritual Discernment
We Can't Tell Clean From Unclean
AND
Our Unwillingness To Be Taught
Of The Holy God
Will Leave Us In A Place
Where Fools Have Always Stood!

An Ungodly Person
Has Himself For His Own God
AND
For This Abomination
Will Glean For Himself
The Just Reward Of The Fraud!

Let Us Not As Christ's Followers
Adopt The Ways Of The Illuminated World
Tearing Down The Temple Of The Holy God
AND
Raising Up Temples
To Demons
AND
Demon-Possessed Humans
Masquerading As Saviors Of The World
That They Themselves
Are Indignantly Destroying
Directed By King Fraud
Deceiver Of All Men
Who Forsake Our Holy Lord
The Eternal God!

God
In Prophecy
That Is ... History In Advance
Made It Clear
To Revelation's Hearers And Readers
That He Will Destroy Those Who
Would Destroy The World!
God Has Reserved Unto Himself
That Particular Working
You See
AND
Men Would Do Well
To Walk True
AND
Before God ... Holy!

Day Runs
Until Day Catches It!
A Balloon Floats
Until A Pin Bursts It!
Satan Now Gloats
BUT
One Day Soon
He Will Be Burning Like Forgotten Toast
AND
All The Faithful
Will Be Resident In New Jerusalem
With Jesus Christ
The Conquering King
As Our Host!

A Blessing Is Offered!
Will You Believe
AND
Receive
Or
Will You Be Presumptuous
AND
Let
Satan You Deceive?

Jesus Is Soon Coming!
The Wicked Are Primed
AND
Getting Fat
So
Be Faithful To The Father
AND
Upon Purged Ways
Do Not Look Back!

Faithfulness Has Its Own Reward
AND
So Does Wickedness, Too
So
Please Look Unto Jesus Christ
The Righteous One
Who Loves
AND
Daily Feeds
AND
Graciously Blesses You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Today Is ... The Day!

Tongue
Head 

Heart
Hand 

AND

Feet
Were In The Same School
BUT
A Certain Somebody In The Midst
Was Not Willing To Be There!

That Somebody
Has A Penchant For Self:

Self-Aggrandisement
Self-Glorification
AND
Self-Seeking!

That Somebody Also
Always
Takes Pleasure
In Setting Up For Fire
Lighting Fires
Fanning Flames
Throwing Gasoline On Fire
AND
Blocking Rescue Workers
By Barring The Way Plain!

You Should Know That ...

Today Had Started No Differently
Than 10,000 Days Before
BUT
Today Is Seriously Different
For
The Master
- The Head Master -
Just Walked In The Door
ANDIn The Graphic Silence
You Would Have Heard
A Pin ... Drop!

Blessings Be Upon You!

Today Is The Day

That You Shall Give Your Personal Report Card!

Now Is Your Time

To Have Your Say!

Know Of A Surety

That Your Own Words 

Will Accuse

Or

Commend You!

Your Report Card

Is Your Own Soul's Recording

AND

Is Bolstered

Buttressed

By The Truth!

Please Begin!

Like Deer In Headlights
BUT
With Awareness
That One Can Bespeak
Each One In The Class

Gave Personal Testimony Against Self
AND THEN Boy, Oh, Boy

It Was Tongue's Time To Speak!

No Glibness!
No Snideness!
No Blitheness!
No Gloat!
You Would Not Believe
It Was The Tongue Talking
He Who Epitomised
Goat ... For A Groat!

It Was Off The Chain Amazing!

It Was Just Plain Beautiful
To See That Despised Pyromaniac
Humbled
By His Own Confession
Aka Report Card!

WOW!He Had A Truth Attack!

The Head Master
Then Made Recommendations
For Elevating The Working Self
In The Service:

Feet Were Shod For Delivering
The Gospel Of Peace!

Hands Were Designated
Helping! - What A Treat!

Head Was Cautioned!
Cautioned!

Cautioned!
To Ever Reason With The Lord!

Heart
- That One Who Indulged Deceit

AND

Was Desperately WickedAND
Coddled Evil -
Was Implored
To Open Its Door
To The Knocking Christ
Who Would Hold Him Safe

Gently

Comforted

In His Holy Hand!

As For Tongue ...

That Tongue Needed To Be Educated

AND
DisciplinedAND
Trained
To Speak Of The Glories Of
The Living God's HeavenAND
To Spread Abroad
The Matchless Love Of The Lord Jesus Christ!
It Was To Have A Brand New Living!

That Tongue Said Afterwards
That He Was Truly Ashamed Of Himself
But Nevertheless
Felt Truly Blessed
For Now!
Now!
Now!
He Has An Opportunity
To BlessAND
To Stop Creating
A Whole Lotta Mess!

Who Would Have Guessed

That Under The Tutelage

Of God's Holy Spirit

A Tongue

A Wild Tongue

A Tart Tongue

A Malicious Tongue

An Unholy Tongue

A Spiteful Tongue

A Lying Tongue

A Tongue

- By Man -

Untameable

Could Be Made Useful

In The Service Of Him

Who Specializes

In Making Man Anew?!

Goes To Show ... God Is Able!!

BECAUSE They Trust God!

The Bible Does Not Say
May Be
Probably
Almost
Could Be!

It Emphatically Says:

BUT

The Salvation Of The Righteous

IS

Of The Lord:

He IS Their Strength

In The Time Of Trouble!

(Psalm 37:39)

Does This Not Say To You
That There Are Those
... Other Than RighteousAND
There Is Ever A Time Of Trouble

... In The Life Of The Righteous?

We Who Have Chosen
To Be Chosen By God
Have Answered The Call
Of God's Holy SpiritAND
Have Wittingly Turned Our Backs
To The Roaring Fraud!

We Do Not Stand Upon Ceremony
Indulging
In False Piety
BUT
Lean Heavily
Upon The Strong Arm
Of The Jealous God
Who Inhabits Eternity
While Able Also
To Live In Me And In Thee!

We Do Not Hold To The Doctrine Called:

Aversion To Self-Denial

AND
We Do Not Gravitate
To The Smooth-Things
Ticke-My-Ears Church
For Thereby

- In Our Lives -
That Renders
Null And Void
The Reason For Jesus Christ's
Birth Work
AND
Unto-The-Death
Criminal Trial!
Oh, Perish That Denial!

We Walk In The Light
Uncomfortable Though It Be
For
Our God Commands It
IF
We Will Live Lives Godly
For
A Child Of The Light Of Life
Cannot Inhabit Darkness
Neither Can He With Death Play
Believing
It Is No IssueAND
Cost-Less!
Doing Such Is Altogether Useless

AND

Foolish, I Say!

Light Has NO Consort With Darkness!
Death Has NO Consort With Life!
Jesus Christ Brooks NO Consort With The DevilAND
We Cannot Call God's Truth
A Fair Lie

AND

Believe That We Will To Have Fly!

Straight Is The GateAND
Narrow Is The WayAND
Few There Be That Find It
For
Convenience By Accommodating Self
To The Ways Of Sinful Man
Will Have Leave Man
With No Short Back And Sides
To Keep Sin-Obscuring Long Hairs
From Blinding 

That Through Which Man Sees  ... His Sin-Clouded Eyes!

Brethren ...

Oh, TasteAND
See
That The Lord Is GoodAND
Feel Free
To Call On The Shepherd
Who Saved Noah From The Flood!

And, For Good Measure  ...

Be Pleased
To Lean On The Branch
That Drew Water
From The RockAND
Rest
AND
Abide In The Guide
From Whom Our Wants
Are Lovingly
- Daily -
Supplied!

Satan Lied!
Christ Died!
BUT
By The Grace Of God
Is Hope For Heaven Supplied
To Those Who
Away From Corroding Sin
Breathe
Free Salvation's Air
Rarefied!

Give (Of) Your Self To The Master!

In Plain Language
King David Said: (Psalm 28:7)

The LORD IS My Strength

And My Shield!

Curiously
He Then Says:

My Heart TRUSTED In Him

(Past)

And I AM HELPED

(Present / Ongoing)!

What, Brethren, Can We Infer From This Statement?

To Me
David Gave Of Himself
- Via His Trust -
Completely  ... To His God!

His Trust Was Not Fickle
Depending On Rewards!
His Trust Was His Standard
For
Living-God Worship
And, Thereby 
He Followed After
The Eternal Holy God!

To Be Called
A Man After God's Own Heart
Is Not Hollywood Hubris
But The Designation
Laid
By The Holy God
Upon A Man
Whose Soul ... Tried
Was To Him
Tied
AND
Fully Invested!

To Really Know God
Is To Really Love God
Is To
- With Full Assurance Of Ultimate Victory -
With No Shadow Of Turning Aside
To Fables And Flatteries
Trust God ... And Go!
AND
Be!
AND
Do!

Look At The Time
When The Child Of David's Sin Was Languid!

Failing Fast!

Ready To Go To His Long Sleep!

David Prayed!
David Fasted!
The Child Died!
David Got Up
Cleansed Himself
AND ... Ate?!

Look At When, In Vanity
Against Common Sense
Against Wise Counsel
David Numbered The People
Because Satan Had Risen Up Against God's People!

He Was Given A Choice Of
Three Terrors:

Three Years Of Famine

Three Months Running From Evil Men

Three Days Of Plague From The Hand Of God!

David Chose Time
Under The Hand Of God
BECAUSE
He Personally Knew
The God Of Mercy
AND
He Lovingly Trusted
In The Almighty God's Mercy
To Remember
That He Was A Mere Man
Weak
Dying Daily
AND
This Is Why He Could Say
To That Same God:

Show The Measure Of My Days

That I May Know

How Frail I Am!

Only A Man
With An Intimate Knowledge
Of This Personal God
Could Ask So Bold A Question!

Do You Know The God Of Heaven
Really Personally
Or
Is He To You
A Passing Acquaintance?

I Have Always Laughed
At The American Penchant
For Calling A Person
A Personal Friend!

Isn't Friendship
- By Designation -
Personal?!

What Is The Difference Between
A Friend
AND
A Personal Friend?

Which Type "Friend"
Is That Friend We Call By Name
Jesus Christ?
Take A Moment
To Know Your Truth!
AND
God's

AND THEN

Let's God's Truth

Reign

Rule

Guide

AND

Bless Your Life!!

Give Of Yourself To Our Master

And

Satan Can't Fool You

With Another Jesus

Nor

With Another Truth!

Give Of Yourself To Our Master

And

Live

- After Death -

In Eternal Youth!
