THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Beat Of My Heart ...! + PRAYER: Grant Us Your Favor, Lord!

I Desire The Holy Spirit Of The Almighty God
- In My Life -
To Be As
The Itch That Must Be Scratched
The Call That Must Be Answered
The Song Of Joy That Must Be Sung
The Thirst That Must Quenched
The Light That Must Shine
The Voice That Must Be Heard
The Love That Must Be Expressed
The Blessing That Must Be Shared
The Hot Bread That Must Be Smelled And Eaten
The Rest That Must Be Taken
The Peace That Cannot Be Shaken
The Chain That Cannot Be Broken
AND
The Blood In My Veins
My Touch And My Feeling
My Taste
My Sight And My Seeing
AND
My Hearing And My Doing!

I Desire That The Holy Spirit
Of
The Eternal God

Loving Faithful Giving Saving Blessing Providing True

To Be
The Beat That Is My Heart
Without Which
I Am No More ... Living.

PRAYER:

Father Of The Faithful

Blessed God Of Love

You Who Are Enthroned Above

I Beseech You For The Promise

The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit Of Life

To Fall Upon Me And My Brethren

So That We May Stand Firm

In the Faith Of Christ Jesus

And

By Appointment

Ascend

To The Glorious Courts

In Heaven Above!

Grant Us Your Favor, Lord, Today!

Grant Us Your Blessing, Is Our Heart's Prayer!

Grant Us The Strength That

Your Grace Provides

And

Keep Us In Your Care

Until The Day That We Die!

I Love You

And

I Ask All, Lord

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

Who Paid Our Price On Mount Calvary!

AMEN.

Pray, Pardon, And Purity + PRAYER: You Are My Light, Lord!

Brethren,

It Is Time For A Different Approach

So

Don't Just Pray For Pardon For Sin!
Pray For Purity Of Heart!
Pray The Promises Of The Living God
AND
Ask For The Indwelling Of God's Holy Spirit!
He Is Faithful!
He Will To Your Soul Impart!

Why Be Forgiven Of Sin ... Today
AND
Look To Sin
Today Tomorrow?!
Ask For The Peace That Passes Understanding

AND
For The Repair Of The Soul
AND
Trust In The Word Of God
That Leaf From The Tree Of Life
AND
By God's Grace
Make Heaven Your Soul's Sole Goal!
Get Off The Shoals Of Life
AND
Walk To The Rock To Be Broken!
Be Bold!

Let Christ ... The Answer
Answer Your Call!
Let Him Be Your Sin-Bearer!
He's Already Paid For You To Be Saved

For
God The Father Laid The Sin-Burden Of Us All Upon Him

AND
Only He Can Negate The Effects Of The Fall!

Know This Of A Surety ...

One Day Soon
Jesus Christ, Triumphant
Is Returning To This Blue Ball
AND
Only Those For Whom He Is Savior
Lord God
King And  High Priest Installed
Shall Rise Up
When He Calls
AND
Go Up To Glorious Heaven
Where Is Prepared
A Banquet For The Blessed Redeemed
One And All!

I Tell You The Truth ...

A Pure Heart Is A Thing Of Beauty
An Item Most Precious
AND
Only Those Who Possess This Heart
Shall See The Everlasting Father
The Prince Of Peace
The Conquering King
In Peace
AND
Shall Possess The Kingdom Of Light
AND
Hear The Courts Of Heaven Ring
To Their Eternal Delight
In The Land Of No Night!

Brethren,
This IS Worth The Fight!

PRAYER:

Come Into My Heart, Lord Jesus

Root Out Sin And Self From Me!

Impart To Me Of Your Sweet Spirit

To Guide Chide Lead Teach

And

Feed Me!

I Desire To Be Like You, Lord!

Walking With My God

And

Doing The Blessed Will

And

I Beseech You

Thou Master Of The Waves

Bid My Very Soul

In You

To Be Still!

You Are My Light, Lord

My Love

My Life

And

It Is You

In Whom Is My Relief

From Sin, Self, Sorrow

From Sadness

And

From Woe!

 

It Is From You, Lord

That I Accept The Truth

In The Beautiful Rainbow

And

The Promise Inscribed In Blood

The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit

And

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Who Work For My Salvation

At Your Request

Thou God Of Hope

The Bearer Of Truth

Who Is Everlasting Love And Life!

Your Word, Lord

Is Sharper

Than Any Two-Edged Sword

And

It Is The Mighty Cleaver

That Will Separate

The Regenerated Soul From Self

And

Sure Disaster

And

I Beseech, You

Thou King Of My Life

To Do All For Me

That Only The Holy God Can

So That I Will See

The Place Prepared For Me

In The Most Glorious Land!

Heavenly Father, 

In Jesus Christ

Is My Joy

In Living In This Vale Of Tears

And

It Is In His Holy Name

That

I Pray For Faith

And

Plead For Grace

And

Hallelujah Blessings!

I Desire To See The Dear Face

And

Of The Water Of The River That Gives Life 

I Desire To Have A Constant Taste! 

AMEN.

The Clash: Blessing vs Curse + PRAYER

Human Desire
Because Of The Mortal Flaw Called Impatience
Motivated By Instant Self-Gratification
AND
Bold Presumption
Is Vainly - Gainsaying -
Fighting
Divine Wisdom!
Herein Is The Curse!

Human Fidelity
Humbled 
Directed
By Jesus Christ's Working Faith
Is
By Willing Trust
Falling Upon
AND
Laying Claim To
Divine Clemency
AND
Is Being Abundantly Rewarded!
Herein Is True Blessing!

All Men Take A Position ...

Accept The Blessing
Or 
Call The Curse
AND
All Men
Have In Their Hand
The Ability
- By Utilizing Faith -

To Have The Curse Reversed!

The Truth Is ...

Some Curses Are Generational!
Some Curses Are Cultivated
BUT
All Curses May Be Forever Set Aside
IF
Man Will
- Willingly Truthfully Humbly -
To His Savior
His Heart's Desire For Freedom
Faithfully Rehearse!

Be Very, Very, Careful ...

Do Not Be Circumvented By Prevailing Situation!
Do Not Be Swayed By Vicious Circumstance! 

AND
Do Not Be Dissuaded By Friend Foe Nor Family
BUT
Let The Spirit Of The Holy God
Be Your Forever Guide!
Do Not From Almighty God's Truth Hide!

That Lost Soul, Evil
Who Has Lost Everything, Holy
Wants You To Lose Everything
This Is Of Blessing To You, Too
BUT
I Beseech You, Brethren
Do Not Let That Lost Soul
Cause Soul-Salvation
To Airily Pass By You!
There Is Nothing That He Says That Is True!

The Living God
Who Gives You Breath
Is Able To Provide For
AND
Protect You
So, Please
Look Up
Trust And Obey
AND
Daily Instant Constant
Be In And Commune With Him In Prayer!
He Gives Grace Every Moment Of Every Day!

By Grace Through Faith
You Shall Soon See
That A Blessed Life Of Salvation In Christ
Beats
A Cursed Life Of Sin With Satan

AND KNOW 
That It Is The Only Way

In The Game Of Life Is Strife
To Prosper
As You Daily "Play!"
This Is The Warfare For Eternal Life!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Am Not Worthy

The Least Of Your Favor

But

Since Jesus Left Heaven For Me

I Am Determined That

Your Grace Shall Not Be Vain Labor

And

That For Me

Christ's Death

Was No Lost Cause

On The Cross Of Calvary!

I Am Purchased

Forgiven

Loved

Blessed!

I Am Redeemed!

My Sins I've Confessed!

I'm Walking In True Light

I'm Living By Faith

So

Help Me

And

Keep Me

So That I May

- In Peace -

Behold Your Face!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

And

With A Contrite And Broken Heart

I Humbly Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

JUDGMENT: No Man Can Hide ...!

When Almighty God Rained Down Judgement
On The Heathen
The People Of God Were Glad!! 

When Almighty God Rained Down Judgement On The Wicked
The People Of God Were Not Sad
For They Knew Of Themselves
That They, Themselves

Were Not Like Those Other People ... Bad
BUT
When Almighty God Rained Down Judgement
On The People Of God
Said People Became Sad
For
They Didn't Believe They Had Been Unwise And Bad
AND
Protestingly Wondered
Why Their God, Holy
With Them
Was Not Glad!

It's Strange
That They Did Not Know

Could Not See
That Their Previously "White" Robes
Were Become A Gross Plaid!

Now, That, Brethren
Is Truly, Truly, Sad!

Indeed!

Motes And Beams!

They Could See Out

But Couldn't See Themselves!

You Done Know 

That Follow-Pattern Kill-Off Cadogan!

That Sand Flies Like Red Blood Man!
That Idolatry Is An Abomination
AND
That Thievery Is No Cafeteria Food Plan!

Our Walking In Wisdom
Means Walking In The Light Of God's Word
BUT
Our Walking In M'Eye Light
GIVES
That Gross Satan
The Most Pleasurable Delight!

Our Conforming To God Is Wisdom!

Conforming God To Us Is Waste!
Living For Jesus Christ Is Not Worldly Wisdom
BUT
Dying In Jesus
Gives Us In Heaven A Reserved Place!

Turning The Rock Of Wisdom
Into The Jewel Of Sin Is Folly ...!

... And Turning The Water Of Life
Into The Gin Of Sin
Marks One As Of The Foolish
Who Will Never Through The Gates Of Heaven
Have The Right To Walk In!

Let Me Tell You ...

When The People Of God
Choose To Walk In The Ways Of The World
In Their Walk With The Lord
You Can Rest Assured
That They Are Of The Clan Double-Minded
AND
They Have No Peace Nor Rest In The Living God
Because
Their Walking Is Actually With The Wily Willful Fraud!

The Straight Way Is Narrow ...!

... And The Broad Way Is Wide
AND
Sin Is The Separating Line
Behind Which
No Man Can Hide!

This Is The Bottom Line ...

Take Truth In The Inward Parts!
Drink The Water Of Life! 

Eat The Bread Of Heaven
AND
In Heavenly Joy And Peace
Peacefully Abide!

Want To Go On A Joy Ride?!

Try Jesus For Joy!

TRUST ALMIGHTY GOD: Doubt Is The Devil!

I Will Not Accuse God ... Foolishly!
I Will Tell The Story ... Truthfully!
I Will Sing God's Praises ... Joyfully
For
I Have Been, By Jesus Christ, Saved ... Sacrificially!

Doubting The Word Of God
Laid Me Out Cold
AND
I Became A Paid In Member Of
The Wilful Sinners Association
A Prominent Part Of The High Society Of
The Wayward-To-Damned Goat Herd!

I Was Strong ... Actually Weak!
I Was Bold ... Actually A Pip-Squeak
AND
I Was Sure ... Actually Uncertain
That I Did Not Need To Know Jesus Christ
The Great One Called The Door To Eternal Life!

I Had Keys!
I Opened Doors!
I Was Sinfully Lubricated

AND
I Had Felt Needs
So What Need Had I

Of Yet Another Door
When I Wouldn't Have Enough Time
To Fully Enjoy This Mortal Life?!

I Have Places To Go!
I Have Faces To See!
I Have Tracings To Make
AND
I Was Partying With The Ungodly
Until
The Day
The Life-Traffic Light Said
All At One Time:

STOP!

             CAUTION!

                                  GO!

AND

My Heart Said:

No!!

What!?!?

It Was Reckoning Time!

AND
The Savior Jesus Was Beckoning Me! 

I Was Going To A Lime
BUT
The Date Was Obviously - Now - Not Fine!

Why Now?!It Is The Time!

Why Here?!It Is The Place?!

Why You?!I Am Grace
AND
Mercy For You Holds No Disgrace!

The Conversation Was Long
BUT

Oh, So, Short! 

The Effect Was Lasting
AND
By God's Grace
Everlasting!

Mercy ... Free
AND
Grace ... Available Always To Me
Opened My Eyes
Unstopped My Ears
Broke Open My Heart
AND
Turned My Wayward Feet
To Walking The Right Way
AND
Away From The Dark
The Spaces That Leave Marks
Deep In The Soul
AND
Unto The Heart That Loves The Soul

Unto The Heart That Is Light
That Is Love
That Is Peace
That Is Rest
That Is Blessing
That Is Shelter
That Is The Life Of The Blessed
Unto To The Heart
That Is Now AND Forever
My Home
The Door Of My Salvation
The Very Door
Which In Times Past
I Had Studiously Ignored!

I Am Ashamed Of Yesterday!
I Am Humbled - Not Proud -
That I Have A Tomorrow
For
Pride Is The Path
That Brought Sin Unto Man
AND
Pride Has Not A Place
In The Living Kingdom
Of The Son Of Man!

I Desire Jesus Christ
Not The Pleasures Of The Flesh!
I Desire Christ
My Peace And My Rest
The Only One
In Whom
My Soul, Regenerated
Is Forever Blessed!

This IS The Secret
Of
Man's Only Success!

Don't Choose To Be A Worldling!
Choose To Believe!

Choose To Be By The Living God Blessed!

Trust Ye In The Lord ... Forever!

Don't Let Doubt

Cause You

From

Heaven

To Be Kept ... Out!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Almighty God's Enemies Are His Children's Enemies! + Prayer: I Rest In You, Lord!

My Enemies Are As The Stately Cedars!
They Are As Strong As The Oak
BUT I ...I Am A Vine
In The Holy Hand Of
The Saving Redeeming Providing
Way-Making God
Who 

- Having Made Provision For Me -
Will Cut Down
AND
Pluck Up, That Is, Uproot
Said Proud Enemy!

The Known Enemies Of Almighty God

Are My Enemies! 

Be They Now Hidden
They Will Be 

In His Time

Revealed!

I Do Not Stand In My Own Strength!
I Do Not Walk In My Own Way!
I Do Not Speak My Own Words!
I Do Not With The Ways Of The World Play
Because
I Choose To Believe And Accept That:

• Almighty God Is Everlasting Love And Strength 
• Jesus Christ IS My Only Savior, Redeemer And Friend
• The Holy Spirit Is My Soul's Sole Comfort, Teacher, Guide And Corrector
• The Holy Angels Are My True-Hearted Protection And Only Influencers For Good
• Heaven Is My Home
• My Soul, Obedient To God's Will, Is Blessed
• Satan, The Liar, Is My Soul's Adversary 
• Willfulness Is Not Wise
• Waywardness Is Not Fun
• The Narrow Way Is Not Boring
• The Broad Way Is Paved Slick ... With Lies
• Hope In God Will Get Me Across The Divide
• Truth In The Inward Parts Lubricates The Soul
• The Soul That Sins Shall Die IF New Life Now With Christ Does Not Suffice
• Mercy Is For Me
• Grace For Me Is Free
• Salvation Came Down To Raise Me Up
• Known Sin Must Be Confessed
• Confessed Sin, Repented Of, Must Be Forsaken
• My Walking With My Jesus Puts Me In A Death-Match Fight With Sin And Satan
• The Living Faith Of Jesus, In Me, Walks And Works For Him, And
• My Faith In Jesus Causes Me, Of Him, To Sing

All The Majesty
All The Hosts Of Heaven
Are Working For My Salvation
AND
All The Resources Of Heaven's Storehouse
Are Mine To Access And Utilize
When I Pray ... In Faith - Nothing Wavering

BUT
Believing The Promise
That All Things Work For My Good
AND

God's Glory
Because I Love The Eternal Holy Living God
For Whose Purpose I Am Of The Called!

By The Grace Of My Father In Heaven
Through The Innocent Blood Of
The Sacrifice Of The Beloved Son
I Shall See My King
In All His Glory
AND
I Shall Be Forever Changed
To Be Like Him
To See Him As He Is
To Know Him As I Am Known
To Grow Up As A Stalled Aka Protected Member Of The Faithful Flock
To Walk The Streets Of Gold
To Drink From The Water Of The River Of Life
To Eat From The Tree Of Life
To Indulge In Glorious Praise To The Eternal
AND
To Personally Know What My Personal Salvation Personally Cost Christ, My King!

My Hope
My Help
Is Jesus Christ The Lord!
I Am Blessed To Be His

AND THUS

I Am Not Stressed

By Sinners' Vaunted Corporeal Success!

I Am Waiting For Heaven's Gold
AND, THUSI Will Not Sell My Ransomed Soul
For The Perishable Burnable
Unprofitable Gold
Beloved Of Man
Pushed By The Very Devil
Who Knows That It Blights 

The Unregenerated Soul!

I Am Waiting On
I Am Watching For
I Am Working Beside
I Am Wrestling With
My Jesus
Who Gave His Life
To Give Me His Life! 

He Keeps Me Alive
AND, SOIn Him
I Shall Strive For
Eternal Life!

I Am Cooperating With Christ!

Are You?!

**--&&--**

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord

I Believe!

Help Thou My Unbelief!

I Receive You!

Pour Into My Spirit!

I Bless You!

For

Of Your Love

There Is No Limit!

I Lift You Up!

Raise Me Up To Life Everlasting!

I Rest In You!

Lead Me Into Your Rest

Where My Soul Is Ever Blessed

For

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Humbly Prayer

And

With My Whole Heart Plead!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Anchors And Sails! + PRAYER: Help Me Never To Deny You, Lord!

Brethren,

There Is A Challenge In These Phrases:

• But, God ...!
• And Yet ...!
• Surely ...!
• Wait ...!
• Think ...!
• Whatsoever ...!
• Come Boldly ...!
• Come Unto Me ...!
• If Any Man ...!
• The Lord Is ...!
• And The Lord ...!
• Call On Me ...!
• Harden Not Your Heart ...!
• Believe ...!
• Love ...!
• Trust ...!
• Hope Thou ...!
• Blessed Is The Man ...!

AND

The Challenge Is Issued By The Eternal God

In Christ Jesus

To All Who Will To Walk With Him

AND

Not Permit Self To Cause One

To Drink The World's Swill!

Think On These Things

AND

Reason With Your Maker

AND

Convinced

Convicted

Converted

Let Him Of Your Heart

Be The Enthroned King!

**-**-**-**

I Am Putting Forth A Thesis
Predicated Upon
The Anchor
"But, God!"

AND

The Sail
"Blessed Is The Man!"

I Shall Show Where It Is Tending
AND PROVE
That With Jesus Christ As Lord
The Believing, Regenerated
Man Woman Of God
Cannot
Of Entry Into Heaven
Fail!

Our Anchor Is ...

The Man Who Is Sailing
Must Have Good Sails
AND
I Say Unto You, Brethren
That 

Holds Up
Whole
In All Kinds Of Weather!
This Blessing, Dear Ones
Cannot Ever Fail!
Without This Truth
Do Not Set Sail!

There Is An Anchor
AND
There Is A Sail
Soooo ...
There Must Be A Boat
AND
That Without Fail
For
A Man
Unconveyed
Yet Feet Anchored
AND
Head Sailed
Is A Man
Marked For Death
Dying
Not Knowing
That At Life
He Has Well And Truly
AND
Miserably
Failed!

Look For And Find Your Conveyance In ...

Anchor Weighed!

Sails Unfurled!

Jesus Christ Saves

ANYONE
And
EVERYONE

Who Chooses To Follow Him

In Obedience

By Departing

That Cold Harbor

Called

The Ways Of The World!

PRAYER:

Father In Heaven
Blessing God Above
Thank You For Your Mercy
Your Saving Grace
Your Unfailing Love!

I Accept The Conveyance
The Anchor
The Sail
And
I Beseech You
To Convey Me Safely
To The Shores
Of
The Promised Land
Where All Is Joy
Peace
Rest
And
Everlasting Love!

I Am A Pilgrim In The Earth!
I Am A Stranger Here
But
Seeking The Home Above!
Please Grant Unto Me
Your Loving Favor
And
Bless Me, Lord,
Bless Me
To Share Your Love
As I Walk
The Straight And Narrow Way
Looking
Neither Left Nor Right
Never Tasting
The Dainties Of The Devil
Never Drinking
The Babylonian Wine Of Confusion
Nor Wearing
Sin's Sparkling
Ignore-Jesus Gloves!

Help Me To Honor You, Lord
With Willing Worship!
Help Me To Praise You, Lord
With Unfeigned Praise!
Help Me To Pray, Lord
Without Ceasing
Until The Day Is Done
And
I Enter Sleep
And
Am Laid In The Cold Grave!

You Have Promised
The Resurrection Of The Just
Who Live By Jesus' Faith
And
I Beseech You
To Help Me, Lord
So That I May Be Raised Up
To Rise Up
And
Go Up
And
Enter In
The Pearly Gates
With The Ransomed-People Flood!

You Are My God
The Lord Faithful And True
And
I Beseech You
Help Me To Never Deny You!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Pray, And I Plead!
AMEN.
