In The Time Of Jesus High-Minded Men Wanted Jesus Christ's Power
But Only To Effect Corporeal Change To Cast Off The Roman Yoke
And Not The Power To Sin And The Evil Cruel Devil To Choke!
These Onlookers Blind Loved What Their Blind Eyes Could See And They Did Not Want Any Changes To The Status Quo Of Traditions Customs Theories And Endless Ceremonies!
If These Men With Power Had Taken Heed To The Word Of The Prophets Of Old Their Hearts Would Not Have Been So Cold And They Would Have Been Pleased To Be Blessed By The One All-Powerful And They Would Not Have Driven Him To The Place Of The Skull!
It's Terrible When The Mind By Sin Is Made Dull!
Today ...
Today ...
Today Is No Different
Because Long Robes Still Give Long Talks And
Take Great Pleasure In Great Ceremony!
They Espouse False Theories About Which They Are Quite Loud! They Are Enshrouded In Dark Customs And Lie Down ... Comfortably On Their Useless Traditions And Think Naught Talk Naught Believe Naught Of Divine Grace And Do Not Suffer The Lord Christ's Sheep And Lambs To Know Of Or Experience
The Precious Sweet And Oh, So, Good Taste!
They Need Some Shame Bush Because They Won't Even Express Shame Face!
Almighty God Is Divine! Almighty God's Grace Is Good And Divine Grace Is Available To All Who Would Stand On The Table-Land On That Peaceful Shore To All Who Will Go Humbly To Christ Jesus The Only One Called The Door!
Let No One Deceive You ...
The Eternal God Is Not Mocked And All Who Are His Know His Voice And Will Be In The Safe Fold Of The Obedient Flock!
Riches Are Deceitful! Vanity Is Sin! Self-Reliance Is A Delusion And Unrepentant Sinners Will Never Ever, Ever Glorious Heaven Enter In!
All-Absorbing Selfishness Met Self-Denying Endurance And Instantly Despised Him!
Self-Denying Endurance Met All-Absorbing Selfishness - A Lost Soul Willing To Destroy Everything And Anything That Came Between Him And His Lust For Fame For Fortune For Sensual Gratification For Power For Praise For The Preeminence In All Things At All Times No Matter The Costs To Others - And He Felt A Pitying Love For Him!
All-Absorbing Selfishness Saw And Interpreted The Look And Felt A Consuming Hatred For This Minion
Who Loved People ... Not Things And Who Strove Conscientiously Working While It Was Day Loving The Life Of Light Compliments The Light Of Life And Not The Delicious Shadows Of The Darkest Of Nights Where Pleasures Innumerable Strode!
Self-Denying Endurance Extended His Hand And Spoke Gently.
The Answering Response Was Vulgarly Rude!
Endurance Did Not Take Offense!
Selfishness Became Incensed!
Endurance Benignly Smiled!
Selfishness Became Fighting Mad And A Few Utensils Were Bent! A Couple Bowls Were Broken!
Endurance Was Unfazed Even Though A Flying Sliver Of Glazed Clay Had His Face Grazed!
Selfishness Was Red In The Face His Chest Heaving! He Called Upon The False Gods Visible But It Appeared They Were Eating Sleeping Gone On A Long Trip Blind Deaf Dumb Solidly Immobile And To Endurance's Way Of Thinking Fantastically Aka Utterly Useless!
Endurance Spoke Up
When Selfishness Gave Up In Defeat:
Perhaps You Should Call On The God Living Who Is The Shepherd Good The Physician Great Of Salvation The Rock The Tower Strong The Hope Certain Of Peace The Provider Of Rest, Sure!
I Do Not Need Another God!
That's Quite True!
You Only Need The Holy God! Those To Whom You Petition Are Decorating Your Life With Sure Damnation!
That ... Is Defamation!
That, My Brother Is The Plain Truth Declaration!
I Declare That I Don't Like You!
I Say To You That I Love You And I Desire ... By The Mercies Of The Eternal God That Your Soul ... By His Love May Be Eternally Saved!
There's Nothing Eternal! Not My Possessions Not My Power Not My Prestige Not Even My Life!
Very True!
Pardon Me!?! Don't You Know How The Polite Game Is Played!?!
I Sure Do But I Don't Indulge In Fairy Tales!
You're A Very Strange Person! You May Draw Closer And Tell Me Your Story!
Very Well!
My Story Is All About Christ Jesus The Loving Savior Who Died To Save Me! My Story Is About The Good Shepherd Who Through Green Pastures To Still And Living Waters Do Daily Safely Guide Me!
My Story Is About The High Priest Of My Confession The One Who In Heaven's Temple In The Most Holy Place Is Advocating Interceding For Me!
My Story Is About My Friend My Lord My King My God My Creator My Redeemer My Provider My Hope And My Help The One Faithful Kind Blessing Loving Giving And Forever True The One Who Loves Me Personally The One Who Truly Loves You ...!
... Loves Me!?!
Loves You Eternally!
But Why!?! I Know I Don't Know Him! We Have Never Met! I Know I've Never Seen Him Because On Every Good God Worth Knowing My Eyes Have On Their Faces Been Set!
If I May Say So, Friend That Is Your Problem I Fear!
My God Loving Is Invisible Seen Only Through The Eye Of Faith And He, It Is, Is The One Only Who Causes Us To Be Beneficiaries Of Loving Grace!
The Only Grace I Know Is A Lady Of The Night!
Oh, Dear!
You Speak Truth! She's Very Expensive!
Cough! Cough!
Selfishness, My New Friend Let Me Introduce To The Man Who Gives Grace For Free!
Wow!
She Told Me I Had To Give Her An Annuity!
Please Focus On What I'm Saying!
Faith Grace And Mercy Love And Truth Peace And Rest Forgiveness And Salvation Are Free
And
Freely Available Gifts To Me To You To Us From The Invisible God!
Ask ... And It Shall Be Given! Seek ... And You Shall Find!
Knock At His Door And He'll Open It!
Truth Be Told
He Is The Door
And
He's Open To You Right Now!
He's Knocking ... Even Now At Your Heart's Door! Please Let Him In!
Are You Joshing Me!?!
Heaven Forbid It!
Are You Serious!?!
I Sure Am!
What's It Going To Cost Me!
It's Gotta Cost Something!
It Will Cost You Your Heart
Your Will Your Way Your Trust Your Obedience Your Endurance Your Very Life!
This Is Not Possible! I'd Prefer To Give Money!
He Doesn't Need Your Money!
He Needs Your Time And Your Talents! He Has Work For You To Do!
Work!?! That Means A Pay Check! How Much And For How Long!?!
Let's See ...
Eternal Life Personal Mansion New Name White Robe Gold Crown Harp Of Gold Country House Water Of Life Tree Of Life Walks On Streets Made Of Purest Gold Seeing Him Face To Face Incorruptibility Immortality Eternal Life ...!
... You Said That Twice!
It Tasted Nice The First Time So I Had To Get A Second Taste!
You Actually Sound As Though You Believe The Word Of Your God!
I Do Because It's True!
I Wish I Could Believe Like That Instead Of Going Through Useless Motions Exercising False Emotions!
He Can Do It For You!
Just Call On Him And He Will Answer You And He Will Show You Great Things About Which You Know Nothing!
Don't I Need A Reason ...!?!
... He Says To All
Come ... Let Us Reason Together!
I Can Reason From Cause To Effect!
With Him, You May Reason And By So Doing You May Become One Of His Few Chosen His Very Elect!
Elect As In Election!?!
Indeed!
Never Mind! He Must Be A Politician!
No, He's Not! He's Not A Man That He Should Lie Nor The Son Of Man That He Should Be Variable Constantly Changing His Mind!
If That Is True He's Got To Be Real!
He's Real! He's Righteous! He's Giving And Forgiving! He's Faithful Just And True And He Desires Your Love!
He's The Blessing God And Desires Personal Communion With You!
I Know Desire!
It's Not That Kind Of Desire! He's The Only Holy God
And You're Unique, Irreplaceable And He Desires To Have You Make Your Home In His Father's House Where All Is Truth Where The Emotion Is Holy Love Where The Atmosphere Is Peace And Truly Restful!
May I Speak To Him!?!
You Surely May!
Just Speak As You Would To A Dear Friend And Do Not Repeat The Same Thing Over And Over As The Heathens Do When They Pray!
Even As You Speak Also Take Time To Listen! He Sacrificially Loves
Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit Reveals Our Sin! Jesus Christ's Love Gives Us Grace! Jesus Christ's Blood Removes Sins' Stains! Jesus Christ Forgiveness Restores Us To The Father's Favor! Jesus Christ For Our Blessing Labored So, Now, We May Work In Faith By Love Because We Are Saved And Enjoying Blessings' Savor!
The Word Of God Is Truth!
The Justice Of God Is Fair!
The Mercy Of God Is Free
And
Salvation Is For all Who Desire Their Share!
Working With Christ Is Available For All!
Darkness Is Descending Upon The Blue Ball!
Satan Is The Liar Who Caused Mankind's Fall
And
Judgment Is Coming For All
With
Condemnation For Those Who Will Not Before The Great God
By Confession In Repentance
In Humility Fall!
Blessing And Cursing
Are The Choices Between Which Man Must Make!
Life And Death Likewise
And
This Is A Thing That None Can Fake!
Individual Will
Individual Choice
This From Man No Created Being Can Take
For
All Alike Must Make Their Own Decision
And
By So Doing
Will Their Position In Eternity Take!
Innocent Blood Was Spilt!
The Holy One's His Own Life Laid Down And
The Holy One His Life Took Back Up
So That No Man ... Believing
May From The Eternal Kingdom Be Lost
Because
The Innocent Blood Spilt
Was That Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
On Calvary's Cruel Cross!
We Are Precious ... We Are Bought With A Price
Not Known To Be Silver Or Gold!
We Are Offered A Safe Berth
In The Good Shepherd's Safe Fold!
Harden Not Your Heart!
Let It Not Be As In The Provocation Cold
But
Let It be Warmed By The Love Of Him Who
For Our Salvation
Was For Thirty Pieces Of Silver Sold!
Brethren,
A Place Is Personally Prepared For You
Which Cannot Be Bartered Bought
Rented
Mortgaged
Nor Ever Sold
So Let Heaven At The Last Trumpet
Be Your Soul's Sole Goal!
In The Love Of The Lord Christ For The Salvation Of Souls
Be Not Faint Nor Feeble
But
Be Valiantly Bold! Let The Truth For The Ages Be Made Known! Let Saving Truth Be Told!
Father, I Come Humbly Saying A Prayer Thankful For Your Bounty Approaching Without Fear!
I Bless You, Dear Father Grateful To You For The Word Of Truth And Blessed Beyond All Knowing And Delighted With The Promise Of Eternal Youth!
Father, I Do Not Ask For Favor Neither For Self Nor For Friend Neither For Family By Blood Nor Affection Whether They Be Well, Sick Or On the Mend!
I Come, Only Holy Father Only God Of Heaven And Earth In The Name Of Our Only Savior From Whose Hand We Receive The New Birth!
I Come, Lord, Praising Believing Trusting And Just For The Pure Pleasure Of Loving You And Looking Forward To When My Savior
Lord, God And King Returns To This Dying Earth!
Lord, My Heart Sings And Says And Prayers To Your Glory So Please Accept These Offerings
From This Saved From Sin Repentant Soul Making Up Any Shortfall By Your Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth And Interprets Our Heartfelt Prayers With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered!
Lord, I Love You
And I Desire To Love You More And More And To My Very Core And I Just Want To Say, Father I Am For Him Who Is The Door - Jesus Christ The Lord - In Whose Worthy Name I Petition And Pray! Please Come Soon! AMEN.
Jesus Christ Is Our Border Control! Give Him Control! He's Ever Always On Patrol! Give Him Control! Because You Can Only Stop Old Satan
When You Give The Lord Jesus Christ Complete Border Control! Satan Gets No Bail No Parole Never A Free Pass No Cautions No Fines! He Gets Bans Blocks And Exclusions And In The Great Day Of Judgment ... Total Destruction When Christ Of You Is In Control! We Give Him Complete Control!
I Give Him Complete Control! Praise God For Heavenly Protection! I Desire To Walk In The Newness Of Life Loved Into Perfection And Because in Faith We Trust Trust What He Says We're The Dear Lord's To Command Because We've Put Him In Control! Brethren, Who Is In Control?! The Lord's In Total Control! Because We've Put Our Lives In His Holy Hands And We're His Ever To Command Because We Desire Residence In The Heavenly Land And We Will Not Indulge Folly
Or Follow Fables And Dying Man
Because
We Believe And We Plainly Say
We're Jesus Christ's To Command! We're Held In His Loving Hand And We'll Attend The Feast So Grand In The Heavenly Land Hosted By The Holy Son Of God The Dear Son Of Man!
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night All Seated On The Ground The Angel Of The Lord Came Down And Said: "Those Flocks Are Mine!"
It Is Only Now That I Realize That Instead Of Jesting We Actually Spoke The Truth! There Was The Bigger Picture The Weightier Truth Being Revealed And We Didn't Then Understand It!
Jesus Christ Paid For Us Sheep Of The Flock!
There Are Many Flocks Being Cared For And All Who Remain Faithful Are Headed To The One Fold Belonging To The Good Shepherd!
Problem Is ...
There Is A Problem With The Hireling Shepherds Who Are Faithless Spineless Deceitful Lazy Self-Serving Greedy For Gain And Serving Two Masters!
I Have A Question!
Go Ahead! Ask Away!
If You Cannot See Your Employer Does It Mean Your Employer Can't See You!?! If You Are Paying Yourself Feeding Yourself Fattening Yourself And Starving Your Charges Some Of Them Even To Death And Without Presently Facing Any Consequences Does That Mean That Your Employer The Kind Master That Good Over-Shepherd Is Unaware Or Is ... Dead!?!
That's Two Questions ... But I'll Allow The Freebie!
That's Generous Of You ... And I Thank You!
Seriously, Though Both Jesus Christ And The Apostle Paul Treated To This Very Issue Which We, Ourselves, Are Seeing Played Out Today!
The All-Seeing
All-Knowing Ever-Present
Feeling-All Things Holy God Is
Not Mocked Cannot Be Fooled Keeps Perfect Records And Is No Fool!
He Doesn't Sleep Doesn't Wear Dark Glasses Doesn't Own Pajamas Has No Grandchildren Godchildren Step-Children Nor Bastard Children Knows Every Last One Of His Children By Name And Every Employee In His Service And Every Student In The School Of Jesus Christ!
Meticulous Aka Perfect Records Are Kept And The Hireling Shepherd Who Doesn't Spare The Flock And, Instead
Teaches Smooth Things So As Not To Offend Their Sponsors And Propagates Fanciful Theories To Make Personal Disciples Out Of The Lord's Called Children Is
Facing A World Of Hurt Come Reconciliation Of Accounts
Aka Pay Day Aka The Day Of Reward!
Keeping Two Sets Of Books Won't Help! Having An Accounting Service Won't Help! Crying Lack Of Knowledge Won't Help! Accusing The Lord Won't Help!
And Making An Excuse Of The Fraud Won't Help!
It's Face The Music Time And All The Previously Undisclosed To Public View Blood On Their Hands Will Be Shining Like A Beacon!
I Guess That The Phrase "Do All To The Glory Of God!"Is Lost Upon Such As Those Underlings!
Their Favorite Song Is ... Obviously
Self Before The Savior!
Sinner Before Saint!
I Want Now The Fruits Of My Labor
Because
Future Glory Cannot Compare
To Being Presently Great!
Bite Your Tongue!
Truth Is Truth! You Don't Have To Like It! You Must Speak It! You Must Believe It! You Must Live It! Almighty God The Shepherd Of Rest Our Hope For Glory To Share Demands It Of His Faithful Children But He Will Never Coerce It And That Is Why Deceitful Workers And Those Who Call The Lord, Father
But
Are Willful Wayward Children
Will Be Without Excuse As Regards The Revealed Will And Disclosed Ways Of The Eternal God!
I Suppose That Holding The Fort
Until The Master Appears
Is Considered A Light Thing To Them!
Utterly Disgraceful Behavior Is What I Say!
Bottom Line ...
There Is No Real Profit Gained By Playing Footsie With The Fraud
And
We Will Do Well To Remember That
All That We Do For The Lord Christ Is Exponentially Rewarded!
In That Light
Take What You Want ... And Pay For It Takes On A Whole New Meaning!
Diligence And Economy
Must Be The Watch Words Of All Who Labor For The Lord!
There Is No Accidental Christian! There Is No Accidental Salvation! There Is No Accidental Sinner! There Is No Accidental Savior Christ!
There Is Free Will And Free Choice!
There Is No Accident In The Love Of God
And There Is No Accidental Malevolence In The Works Of King Fraud!
There Was No Accidental Suffering By Jesus Christ On Calvary's Cross And There Will Be No Sinner Repentant Who Will To Christ's Kingdom Be Lost!
Heartfelt Prayer Is No Accident! Wilful Sin Is By Design! Trust In Jesus Christ Is No Accident! Treading The Narrow Way To Salvation
Is
The Contrite Faithful Heart's Sign!
Our Gift Of Faith Is No Accident! The Extended Hand Of Hope Is By Design! Our Gift Of Life Was No Accident! Jesus Christ's Love For Us Is Divine!
Your Home In Heaven Is Personally Designed! Your Hope For Heaven Is By Personal Choice Inclined! Your Help To Get You To Heaven Is
By The Holy Hand Extended And It Is By Your Personal Choice That You Accept The Helping Hand Or By It ... Is Offended!
Saved By Grace Through Faith Is A Choice! Damnation Is By Choice For Choosing To Heed The Tempter's Voice!
Heaven Is For Those Who Choose With The Great Liberator The Prince Of Peace The God Of All Grace The One Who For Our Soul's Salvation Became The Heaven Departing Flesh Incarnated Teacher Of Righteousness Living-To-Die-A-Disgrace Jesus Christ The Righteous Who On Cruel Calvary Took Our Just And Deserved Place!
Take The Lord! Take A Taste! He Is Good And Of Blessings He Always Gives A Flood Paid For By Innocent Blood!
The Truth Is Truthful ...
Redemption From Death Hell Sin
And
The Grave Will Not Be Accidental! Getting Into Heaven
Accepting The Prepared Place Will Be By Willing Enduring Obedience Which In The Christian - Willing By Design - Is Not Out Of Place!
I Choose To Be Used By The Lord Christ! If I Must Refuse Association With Someone I Choose To Refuse Association With
The Accuser Of The Brethren The Known Murderer From The Beginning
The Callous-Minded Destroyer Of Irreplaceable Lives!
If I Must Walk With Someone I Choose To Walk With The Forever Friend! If Must Walk With Someone Who Is More Than Myself I Choose To Let My Walk Be With
The One Who Preserves My Life Now And Who Will Come To Redeem My Soul From Destruction When This Old World Shall Meet Its Known End!
If I Must Work For And With Someone Great I Choose To Work For And With The King Of Glory The Light Of The World! If I Must Be A Recruiter For The One With Whom I Am Employed I Choose To Be The Recruiter For The Only One Holy In Whom Is Joy Unalloyed!
Satan Is Roaring!
I Choose The Life With The Savior! I Crave His Life Now His Work Here And His Universal Pension Plan Later! I Choose To Accept His Present Perks And I Look Forward With Certain Hope To His Rewards In The Hereafter!
I Choose To Live With Love! I Choose To Walk In Faith! I Choose To Accept Available Grace For The Day And Free Mercy So That I Do Not With Bold Presumption Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay!
I Choose To Accept Deprivation Aka Personal Sacrifice Now To Be In Accord With The Holy One Whose Personal Sacrifice Gives Me Soon-Coming Eternal Life!
I Choose To Reason With The Lord Instead Of Blindly Following The Dark Lord Aka Satan The Known Evil One King Fraud!
I Have Chosen Life In The Glow Of The Father Of Lights! I Have Chosen Abundant Living With The Lord Of Life! I Accept The Truth For The Ages
And I Humbly And Boldly Follow Christ Whose Character Is Transcribed In The Good Book's Pages!
Satan Against Holy Truth Rages!
I Accept From The Heart Of God The Love That Won't Let Me Go And I Deny The Desire For The Fripperies Of The Liar - The Father Of Lies - Whose Only Job Offer To Man Is
The Job Called Snow!
I Must Have A Spirit Indwell Me
So I Choose The Spirit That Is The Holy Spirit Of God Who Will Guide Me Chide Me Lead Me Into All Truth And Comfort Me In Life Until I'm Long In The Tooth And Until I Face Death Or Until The Creator-Redeemer
For His Faithful Children Come!
The Terminal Question ...
Satan Can't Give Me A Satisfying Biscuit So Why Would I Permit Him To Take From My Hand Jesus Christ's Gift To Me Of My Daily Bread The Bread Of Heaven The Water Of Life Sure Salvation Redemption From Strife!?!
Am I A Fool!?!
If I Must Be A Fool I Choose To Join Apostle Paul And Be A Fool For The Lord Christ!
The Night Is Coming And I Must Work ...
Since I Must Work I Choose To Work For The Lord Of Life! I Choose To Work For The One Who Gave Me My Life Who Maintains Me Who Sustains Me Who Heals Me Who Seals Me The One With The Bruised Heel The One Who By His Own Death Purchased Me Access Reach Grasp And Hold On Eternal Life The One Who Crushed The Head Of The Serpent Of Old And Who For My Enduring Faith In Him Shall Give Me By His Own Hand The Crown Of Life The Circlet Of Purest Gold!
Satan Is Damned!
Following My Life's Leader ...
I Am A Sheep Obedient To The Lord Christ Striving For Hill Zion Almighty God's Protected Fold!
