Drinking And Enjoying The Cup ... Of Blessing!

All Who Depart From Sound Doctrine
Will Drink The Bitter Cup
Served
Without The "Honey" Of The Cup Of Blessing
That Is Held To The Lips Of The Obedient Faithful
By The Loving Hand Of Jesus Christ The Lord!

All Who Will Live Godly Lives
Will Suffer Persecution
AND
All Who Will Surrender Their Will
To The Lord Jesus Christ
Will See The Dominion Of Darkness
Vigorously
Committedly
Unremittingly Try
To Make Christ's Followers
The Way Of Truth Deny!

The Child That Walks Under The Banner Of Christ
Will Have
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
As The Panacea Against Doing God's Will
Hailed Before Their Face
BUT

KJV Romans 8 - Faith's Manifesto - Which Says

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Is In The Blessed Cup Of Blessing
AND
Nothing
- Because Of Jesus Christ's Saving Faith
AND
God's Great Grace
AND
Mercy Free -
Will Make The Soul-Surrendered

Willing
Obedient
Serving Child Of God
- Baptised Into Christ's Sufferings - 
Turn Away From Truth
Unto Fabulous Lies
The Known Demonic Device!  

Self And Will

Collide With Faith
AND
Only One Will Stand
So
Choose You This Day
Whom Ye Will Serve
AND
Follow Your Lord's Command!

If The Living God 
IS 
The Eternal God
Serve Almighty God As King!

If Wayward Self And Wandering Will 
IS
Your God
Then Prostrate Before Them
As King Of Everything
Remembering
That You Are Slave
To Whom You Obey
AND
You Get The Perks Of The Kingdom
In Which You Pray And Play!

The Kingdom Of Christ
IS
Truth, Love, Light
AND
Eternal Life!

The Kingdom Of Satan
IS
Deceit, Darkness, Corruption
AND
Damnation!

The Kingdoms Are Two! 
The Destinations Are Two! 
The Leaders Are Two
BUT
Only One Is Everlasting
AND
Eternally True!

The One God Who Is True
IS
Jesus Christ The Lord! 
His Kingdom Is Light
AND
There
There Is No Night!

Thoughtfully Consider That ...

The Pleasures Of The Glorious Kingdom
Are Peace Love Righteousness
AND
Blessings
AND THAT
Almighty God, Himself
Is The Source Of  True Giving
AND 
Immortal Living!

Amazing, It Is
What The Cup Of Blessing Will Do
For
The Soul Of The Saint
Who Practices Obedience
Who Walks As One Holy
Who Does The Lord's Will
Who Permits His Soul
By The Holy Spirit To Be Filled
Who Leans On The Love Of The Eternal God
Who Trusts The Living Word
Who Thirsts For Sure Salvation
Who Turns Away From The Goat Herd
AND
Confidently Walks
With Obedient Sheep
Following The Known Voice Of
The Shepherd Of Rest Who
Takes Them To The Safe Fold Where

The Overcomers Rejoice

In Victory
With Joy
In Gladness
By Grace
Knowing, Yes, Knowing
AND
Beholding

The Lovely Face Of The Redeemer
He, Alone, Who

Shall Stand
At The Head Of The Van
As The Saints Of God
Ingress
Heaven's Table Land
To Live Love And Laugh
Shuck Of The Liar
AND
To Worship Pray
Praise And Sing
To The King Eternal

Forever! 

Heaven

At Any Price

Is Cheap!

**-*-**-*-**-*-**

Hell At Any Price

Has The Cost

That Is

Too Steep!

Love Hopes!!

Hope O'Reward
AND
Fear O'Punishment
Both Serve The Living God...!

... Somehow I Doubt That!

I'm With You On That
Because
What They Are Doing
Makes Them No Different
From An Open Idolater!

Them's Strong Words!!

You'd Better Believe Them!

Who Is The Living God?!

The Living God Is Love!

What Is Man?!

Man Is A Sinner
Separated From The Living God!

What Is Sin?!

Transgression Of The Living God's Law!

Lawlessness!

So What Is Love?!

Love Does!

Love Hopes!
Love Helps!
Love Gives!
Love Does Not Give To Get!
Love Does Not Hope It Will Help!
Love Does Not Fear!

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear!

Love Is Not Covetous!

The Living God Desires Our Love!

AND
Anything Less Is Contemptible!

We Love Almighty God 

Because Almighty God Loves Us, First
AND
We
- Seeing The Blessed Love Work In Our Behalf -
Love The Eternal God ... In Return
Without Thinking About What We Will Get Next

AND
Without Fear Of What We Will Lose
If The Love Is Not Adequately Returned!

Almighty God's Love
- Like Almighty God's Grace -
Is Ever Sufficient
AND
Because That Love, IS
We Rest In It
Being Joyful
Being Comforted
Being Blessed
Being Eager To Please
Wanting To Bless
Knowing Always That Everlasting Love Cares
That True Love Never Leaves The Beloved
Lonely Forsaken Afraid ... Alone!

I Agree!

What He Just Said!!

Understand This ...

Reward And Love Never Marry!
Love And Hope Don't Carry
Fear
Which Loves To Tarry
Putting One In The Position Of Having 

To Parry
The Thrusts And Blows Of Misguided Affection
Which Have Not Time To Note Direction
BUT

Walks Wild

AND
Thinks Vain
Offering Up Gifts Like Cain
AND

Thinking Nothing Of Destroying
The Pure Of Heart
Because
Their Offering Of Love
Makes You
- Of Your Offering -
Regrettably ... Ashamed!

What He Just Said!!

I Agree!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Love Of The Eternal God ... Lasts!

How Do You Spell Love?!
What Does Your Love Mean?!
Is Your Love Holy
Or
Is Your Version Of Love Burdensome
Enchaining
Unclean?! 

Let's Look At Love!!

L is For  Love       Life       Liar                Line
O is For   Open      Over      Opportunity    Oil
V is For     Victory    Vice       Venture          Vacate
E is For       Escape    Error      End                  Endure

The Lord Of Life Who IS Love
Keeps The Liar In Line!
He Keeps The Way Of Salvation Open
So That We Have A Way Over Sin
That Is An Opportunity 

To Get The Anointing Oil Of The Divine!

The Lord Of Love
IS
Our Victory Over Vice
That Venture Which We Need To Vacate
AND
He
- By His Sacrifice On Calvary's Cross -
IS
Our Escape
From The Error Of Sin
For
He Is Our Beginning
Our Hope For Everlasting Life
IF
The Trials Of The Sojourner's Life ... With Faith
We Endure
To Mortal Man's Known End!

When We Believe The Lord Of Love
AND
Not The Liar A La Mode
We Have All Opportunity 
His Venture To Suspend
AND
End
AND
To Wear Christ's Righteousness
The Clean And White Linen Robes!

We Do Not Have To Let The Liar Profundo
Gag And Tie Us
Blind And Abuse Us
Because
We Have The Lord Of Love
- By Working Faith -
Above And Before Us
Beside And Inside Us
Ready Willing And Able Always
To Protect Provide
Teach Lead And Guide Us!

True Love Is Never Blind!
True Love Always Sees!
True Love  Loves And Works
True Love Blesses The Brethren
That Is, You And Me!

True Love Does Not Have The Gear Reverse!

True Love Conquered
Death Hell
The Liar
The Cold Grave
When
On The First Day Of The Week
- After The Sabbath Rest -
He Got Up
AND
Bridged
Earth And Heaven
Forever After Denying The Liar Brave
The Glue
That Would Make Men
Forever To The Lost Cause
Helpless Slaves!

The Holy Love Of The Living God Lasts
AND
The Great Liar
Into The Lake
That Burneth With Fire And Brimstone
Will Be Assuredly Cast!

The Lord Of Life's Love

Is

Eternally Vast!

The Lord Of Love's Life

Is

Everlastingly Vast! 

Get Ye Yonder To Him!

Let Your Lot For Him Be Cast

And

The Stench Of Sin

Will Be A Thing

Of

Your Willful, Sinful, Carnal Past!

HAPPY SABBATH + Cat's Miaow To Dog Botsi?!?

How Does One Go From
Being The Cat's Miaow
To Living Like A Dog's Botsi
From Grazing In Green Grass
To Living Off Weed
From Walking Straight
To Living Bent
To Having Given Up Sin
BUT
Only For The Season
That Is Popularly Called Lent?!

How Do You Worship God
But Only When Convenient?
How Do You Serve God
But Only When Expedient?
How Do You Praise God
But Only When There Is An Audience
AND
Deny God 

Because To Admit It
Would Mean That You Are Subservient?!

How Can We Progress
If We Live By Excess?
How Can We Be Adjudged Innocent
By God
If We Don't Our Known Sins Confess?
How Can We Be Blessed
When We Revel In Sin's Curse
Taking Pleasure In Hope-Killing
AND
Running After The Tricked-Out Hearse?!

Let It Made Known That ...

Without Jesus Christ
Man Twice Dies

BUT
With Jesus Christ
Man Shall Surely Fly
Without Need Of Rocket Fuel
Protective Garments
AND
Telecommunications' Tools

Because

He Has Peace With The Eternal God

AND
The Eternal Crown Is The Coveted Jewel!

Please ... 

Don't Fall For Satan's Fatal Lies

AND

Eternally Die
When, Instead

By Living In Faith In Jesus Christ

- Based On The Preserved Word Of Truth -
You Will One Day Soon
Range The Open Skies!

Trust Jesus!
Bless God!
Curse The Devil!
Learn From The Holy Spirit

AND
Be Protected By Holy Angels

Because
God's Love Can Never Lie!
God's Love Will Never Die!

For Your Own Soul's Sole Salvation
Do Not Your Soul's Savior

Decry

Defy

OR
Deny!

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!
