PRAYER: Lord, We Ask a Boon!

Father,
I Am Grateful
My Soul Is Well Blessed
My Body Is Fed
And
In You

I Have Sweet Peace And Rest!

I Look All Around
I Hear A Bird's Call
I Am Touched By A Cool Breeze
And
I Feel The Rain As It Falls!


I Take The Living Word On My Tongue
And
It Pleasures My Taste
Filling My Heart Mightily
And
Pointing Me Away
From Sin And Disgrace!


Again, And Again
I Taste Of The Pleasure
That To The Willing Soul You Provide
And
I Am Satisfied
That In Obedience To Your Word
That I Will Live E'er In Christ's Faith I Die!


Father, 
Please Remember Your Children
Walking On The To-Zion Road
And
Bless Them To Hold Truth Dear
And
Never Setting It Down
For Perishable Gold!


Lift Up The Tired Feet
Hold Up The Weary Head
Comfort The Brokenhearted
And
Guard The Fallen Saint In The Dusty Bed!


Pity The Pariah
Strengthen The Resolve
Of
The Faithful Perceived Weak

And
Judge Between The Wicked And The Good

And
Humble The Proud
Who Trample On The Meek!

And, Lord, 
I Pray For A Boon
For Your People Today:


Please Keep Us Faithful
Fervently Prayerful
Vigilantly Watchful
Trustingly Waiting
And
Committedly Working
For The True Spiritual Prosperity

For
The Dark Night Of Distress Is Nigh Unto Us!


Please Harken Unto Our Hearts' Call
And 

Save Us - You Promised -
Into Your Eternal Kingdom
And
As Also Promised
May Christ Jesus Come Soon On The Cloud 
In The Manner That No Devil Can Counterfeit! 
We Longingly Ask All In That Worthy Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

What Time Is It?
Who Made The Clock?
What Time Is It?
Who Is Guarding The Flock?

Will Your Life Raft Float?

Time Is Of The Essence!
Jesus Christ IS On The Way!
Time Is Of The Essence! 
The End Could Be This Very Day!

Don't Put Off Until Tomorrow
That Which Can Be Done Today!
Time Waits For No Man
ANDNo Man Can Turn Time
To Run His Way!

Take Time To Know Him
Who Made Time For Man!
Take Time To Know Him

Is Preparing A Place In The Father's House
For The Faithful Few
Who Trust In the Son Of Man!

Brethren,
Make Time
For The Timeless One
Who Sacrificially Loves
Both Me And You!

PRAYER:

Father,
My Life And My Time
Are In Your Hand!
I Willingly Submit To Your Leading

In The Name Of Christ Jesus
Rescue And Save Me!

A Wholesome Tongue!





I Wrote A Check
With Careless Words
AND
Comeuppance Cashed It
For
I Recognized Not
That Words Have Weight
Until I Was Lashed And Bashed By It!

A Wholesome Tongue
Is A Tree Of Life!
A Perverse Tongue
IS
A Goad Of Strife
Which Makes Life
Bitter And Torn
When We Become The Lambasted Recipients
Who Have Been Basted
By The Bitter Butter
That We Ourselves Undeniably Blasted!

Be A Word Watcher
Wise And True
For
All Words Have Weight
Be It To Energize
Enervate
Elevate Or Excoriate
Good Friend Or Foe
AND
Me And You:

Look ... Before You Leap! 
Think ... Before You Speak!
Trust In The Lord
AND
The Good Word Obey
AND
Speak Peace
Ever Always
For Soon Comes
The Judgment
And
The Glory Days!

You Are Loved!

To All Those Who Believe
That They Have No Reason To ... Be:

Listen Unto Me
AND
Hear Me Clearly When I Say:

The Lord Of Life
Cries Over Thee
And
Loves Thee Always!



There Is Rejoicing Up In Heaven
When A Repentant Sinner Returns To The Safe Fold
AND
That Should Indicate To You
That 
The Eternal God Cares For Your Soul!

Do You Realize That The Face Of A Man
Is The Face Of One Of Those Creatures
Ever Present Before The Almighty God
AND
If This Does Not Cause You Think
Shake Your Head
AND
Clear Your Mind!
Blink!

Think, Brethren! Think!

The God Of All Graces 
Consented To Become A Man
A Human
AND
Came Down To Earth
To Walk The Land
Teaching Healing Feeding
Crying Dying
Arising From The Dead
AND
Rising Again To Glory
So That Man
- All Willing Mankind -
In Purchased Victory Over Sin
May To God's Eternal Kingdom
Be Valiantly Rejoicingly Lead!

Our God Sings
AND
Our God Loves Our Praise-Singing
Desires Our Worship
Hears Our Prayers
Provides For Our Present Needs
Is Preparing Our Future Home
AND
Stands In Glory
As Our Open Door
Waiting
Calling Pleading
Encouraging
Directing Correcting
Leading Guiding
Healing
Feeling, Feeling, Feeling Our Pain
AND
Marked - For Eternity -
As Brethren
With Us Mere Men
Who Do His Holy Name
Profane
Time And Again!

In All Scripture Given
No Other People Is Named
As The One About Which Almighty God Said:

Let Us Make Man
In Our Own Image
After Our Likeness!


So ...

Why Will You Say
That You Are Not Important Again?!

Satan Is The Beguiler
The  Betrayer
The Known Fiend
AND
If You Are Listening To Him
Know Of A Surety
That His Words Are Unclean
His Pottage Is Deceitful Meat
His Gold Is Rusty And Cankered
His Music Is Mesmerizing
AND
His Power Is Putrid 
AND
Wicked
AND
Covered In Sin Black As The Night
Under Which He  Does
Unwary Men Attack!

Give That Damned Satan In Your Life No Slack!

Call Out To The Lord Christ
Who Holds You In His Hand
Who Protects Your Front
Your Back And Both Sides
Who Covers You With His Feathers
Who Provides For Your Need
So That You Suffer No Lack!

Trust God - He Delivers!
Trust God  - He Saves!
Trust God!
He Breaks Chains
So That You Are Not Known The Slave!


Look Up To Christ Jesus ... And LIVE!
He Gives
And
Forgives!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Putrid Peas Produce Punishment Not Profit!

                                                                                 Popularity!
                                          Position!
                                 Perks!
                    Prestige!
Putrid Praise!

The Deadly Peas
Seem Able To Cause
Formerly Right-Thinking
Right-Living
Men And Women
To Sell Their Birth-Right
For A Bowl Of Red Bean Stew!

If We Look At Esau
We Will Know The Obvious Outcome
As We Read The Declared Word Of God:


I Have Loved Jacob

But
Esau I Have Hated!


Will You Sell
Your Eternal Birth-Right
Just To Eat
Dry Bread And Rancid Bean Stew
So That You May
Freely Fraternize
Unfettered
With The Idolatrous Crew?!

Will You Live
By The Sight Of Your Blind Eyes
Or
Will You Live Right In The Sight Of Him
In Whom Eternity Abides?!

Why, Oh, Why
Are We So Short-Sighted
So Easily Blind-Sided
By The Putrid Praise Of The Benighted
Multitudinous Know-It-All Crew?!

Do You Care?
Will You Dare
To Walk Without Fear
Under The Guidance Of Him Who
All Our Burdens Do Bear?!

Won't You Trust The One Who
Sacrificially Cares For You?!

Please Say:

Lord,

You Are My Portion Forever
And
I Will Follow Your Word?!


Please Say:

Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Let Me With You
Walk In Accord! 
Take My Hand
And
Guide Me Safely Home
To Beautiful Beulah Land!



Brethren,

Our God Holy Is Able! 
Our God Eternal Is True Truth!
Our God Omniscient Is Omnipresent
So
Trust Him
- He Is Omnipotent -
AND
There Is No One
That Can Stop Him
From Truly Blessing
AND
Taking Total Care
Of
Believing Me And Believing You!

Lord,
In The Name
Of
The Holy Jesus
Please
- We Beseech You - 

Help Us To Make You
Our Blessed Portion
From
This Day

This Hour
This Moment On 
AND ... FOREVER!
AMEN.



FIRE-POWER: Surrendered To Christ! + PRAYER: Love, Please Do Not Let Me Go!


Weakness Was Walking
Stalking
AND
Self
Was In A Bind!

Assailed-By-Temptation
AND
Looking-At-Circumstances
- In Grand And Gripping Array -
Were Doing The Devil's Best
To Cause Self To Forget

And Do, Lord
For Me

And
Give You Thanks
For Yesterday's Blessing 
They Were Many -

But
I Now Utter The Call Of Faith
And
 Beseech You For One Blessing More!

I Need

I Need
The Power Of The word

To
- With The Angels -
Attend Me!

Let Not Knowledge Of The Word
Be - To Me - 
Just
An Intellectual Exercise!

Let Me Not Claim The Word 

But
Deny The Power Thereof!

Let Knowledge Of The Word

Fill Me
AND
The Power Of The Word
Conform My Heart To Christ
By The High Power Of The Holy Spirit!
Cover Me!
Let Me Ever Feel Your Abiding Love!


Love ... Do Not Let Go!

Grace ... In My Life Please Show!
Favor ... Let Me Hold Your Hand!
For
At The Cross Of Christ
I Take My Stand
For It Is My Soul's Desire
To Live
In Beulah Land!
AMEN.


Life! Life!
Do Your Worse
The Lord Of Life
Died To Save Me!
In Him, I Am Not Cursed!

Circumstance
You Shall Not Phase Me!
The Accursed Of Calvary
Is The Blessed Of Heaven
AND
Thank God
Even Now
He Is Interceding For Me!

Weakness
You May Sleep On Now!
He Who Is My Peace
Gives Me Rest
AND

In Him
I Am Strong!
I Will Not Be Smoozed By You!
In My Heart
Is A Sweet I-Know-Jesus Song!

Temptation
I Am Not Yielding!
Go Back To The Devil Who Sent You!
Go Back Where You Belong
For I Look To Jesus Christ
The Author
The Finisher 

Of My Faith
AND
In His Abiding Love
I Shall Not
Make Shipwreck
Of My Faith!

And
Thankful, Lord, Thankful

Grant Us Your Peace, Lord
For Us To Abide In Your Rest! 
Bless Us In Your Love, Lord

And

For It Is You, Lord
The Holy God
That We Dearly Love!


Bless Us, Lord!
Feed Us!

For All Of Our Known Sin

Epic Treasure!


The Word For Thought
For Meditation 
Is From KJV Psalms 119
That Epic Treasure On
The Blessedness
The Value
The Veracity
The Longevity
The "Grace-Filled-Ness"
Of The Law, Precepts, Statues, Promises
AND
Covenants
Of The Living God!

Let's Look At Verse 41And Verse 42:

41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

Our God, The Eternal, Is Faithful! 
Trust His Word, And Be Forever Blessed!

Brethren,

This Is Truly A Good And Blessed Word 
For The Times In Which We Live!
This Is The Word For The Faithful
For
To Our Hearts
Great Comfort It Gives!

Did You Know That Mercy Walks
And Walks Specifically
Personally
Entreatingly
Unto You? Unto Me?
And That We Can Depend On That Mercy
Just Because
Almighty God Says So In His Word
Which Is A Transcript Of His Character
Which He Cannot Deny
Cannot Reject
Cannot Suspend
Cannot Take Offense At
Cannot Obliterate Or Render Void?!

Why Not?! He Is Almighty God, Isn't He?!

You Just Answered Your Own Question!

Huh?! How?!

Almighty God Is Not A Man
That He Should To His Children Lie!

God Himself Has Said:

His Word Is Settled
- It Has Its "Roots"
Its Foundation -
AND
Sealed
In Heaven!
Heaven Is God's Throne!

If You Can Unseat The Everlasting Father
From His Eternal Throne
Then, You
Able And Capable
Are ... GOD!

No Devil Damned 
Can Raze Almighty God's Foundation!

No Imposter-God
Can Unseal The Living God's Word ...!

You Just Said The Most Important Thing!
Our God Is Living
Not Like That False One
Who Is Known Dying Almost Dead
Soon To Be Burned
Never To Return!

Amen, Amen!

And For The Best Part  ...

Salvation Is A Mercy
AND
Our Sure Salvation IS Our Sword
Which Is Our Answer ...!

... Our Necessary Answer!

Indeed!

There's No Need For Arrogance
No Regret!
No Sorrow!
Just Truth
To Be Spoken Of
With Gratitude To Our Father
AND
With Humility And Compassion
To Doubting Scornful Men
Who Lambaste Our Unshakeable Belief
In The Blessed Assurance
That Jesus Christ Is Returning To Earth
For His Faithful Waiting Enduring People!

I Am Waiting Hoping
Praying
Fixedly
For The Regeneration
That Is Ours In The Hour Of 
Christ's Coming And Calling!

I Want To Get Home!

Amen, Brother!

Now, Before We Separate
I Encourage You To Think Of 
The Other Mercies
That Our Great God
On Us
So Mercifully Bestows!

Mercies ... For Me:

  • Forgiveness
  • Truth
  • Peace
  • Rest
  • Correction
  • Direction
  • Chastisement


As Much As It Is Despised
Chastisement IS Indeed 
A Greatly Unappreciated Mercy!

No One Likes The Lash!
It May Pain Us For A Moment
But ... 
Accepted
At The Last Trumpet
We Shall Be Changed
To Be Like Christ
In A Moment
In A Flash!

I Beseech You, Brethren,
Take The Chastisement!
Walk In The Truth!
Follow The Direction!
Take On Board The Correction!
Live By Faith!
Enjoy The Peace
AND
In The Day Of Appointment
Get The Eternal Rest
AND
Fly High In The Sky
In Your Eternal Youth!

Let's Do This Again ... Real Soon!

Go With God, Brethren!

Likewise, Brother!

My Cup Is Full ... And Running Over!

Two Cups Were On The Table
Choice Was Mine To Make
Life-Lived Would Fill The Chosen Cup
One Would Fill Up To The Brim
Only One  Would Overflow And Lavishly Spill!

The Cup Of Salvation
Includes One's Personal Input Of 
Cast Bread On Water
Living By Faith
Calling On Grace
Falling On The Rock Of Ages
AND
Guidance By Cooperation With Christ
In Obedience To The Living Word!

This Cup
Is The Cup Of Blessing
Is Plain And Clear
Is Often Hard To Bear
BUT
Is To The Faithful Ones
Held Most Dear!

The Cup Of Damnation
Is As Pretty As A Peach
Is Light As A Feather
AND
The One For Which 
Spiritual Prostitutes Reach!

This Cup
Is Blinged Out
It Sings Outs
It Contains All The Self
AND
Sacrilege
AND
Gross Sin
AND
In Cooperation With The Devil
AND
Against Jesus Christ The Lord
It Is With Iniquity
Energetically Filled!

This Cup Of Damnation
Filled With Iniquity
Cannot Overflow!
It Can Only Be Filled Up
AND
None Of Its Possessors
To Highest Heaven
Will Go!

This Cup Is Also The Cup Of Curses
Which Can Only Be Reversed
IF
It Has Not Reached Its Limit
AND
IF
In Recognition Of His Known Need
The Owner Asks The Lord Christ
From The Damned Devil
To Be Forever Freed!

Cup! Cup!
Which Cup Will You Fill?
Damnation?! 
Salvation?!
Will Your Cup Be The Only That Fills
AND
Gushingly Spills?!

Choose Wisely Your Cup, Friend
Remembering
That The Cups "Live" In Your Record
Even If You Die
AND
In The Day Of Vengeance
Cup Don't 
Can't
Won't 
Lie!

All Cup-Bearers Get The Right Reward
Because
Life And Life Record 
Are 
In Perfect Accord!

Just So You Know
The Record-Keeper Is The Rewarder Himself
Jesus Christ The Lord
The One Who Purchased Our Sure Salvation
AND
Giveth Life Everlasting
As The Best Reward!
