Doubting Thomas Had A Need!?!

Doubting Thomas Was  A Disciple!
He Was A Disciple Of Faithful Friend
But
Faithful Friend Had Died
Been Crucified
Buried
But
News Was Circulating
That He Had Risen Again!

Doubting Thomas Was No Pushover
But
In His Heart
He Harbored Doubt
And
Jealousy
And
He Refused
- Bluntly Refused -

To Believe Those Tidings
Until
He Saw Him With His Own Eyes
He Felt With His Own Hands

The Once Dead Who Was Talking
Walking
Moving Around
For Any And All To See!

Until Then ... He Can't Believe!

In This Day
Many Are Like Thomas
Cherishing Doubt Within Their Hearts
Refusing ... The Clear Testimony By Truth
Of Others
And
Being Hardened To Living Truth
Causes The Love Of God
From Within To Depart!

Depart!?!
Because Of Doubt!?!

Yes!
All Who Will Believe On The Lord Jesus
Must Do SoOn The Testimony Of Another
For
As Jesus Christ, Himself
To Thomas Did Say:

Blessed Are They

Who Have Not Seen

But Believe!

Carnal Hearts, Then
Must Be Cast Away!

Of A Truth, This Is So
If
We Will In Christ Grow
If
We Will Accept The Word
And
Lean On The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
Who Is The Resurrection
And
The Life
Having Paid To Redeem All Who Choose
To Follow The Light Of Life!

Lest Ye Forget ...

A Double-Minded Man
Is 

Unstable In All His Ways
And
Is Not One To Be Trusted
Because
He Is Driven And Tossed
And 
Like The Waves Of The Sea
You Never Know On Which Shore
- Tomorrow -
You Will Find Them!

Such A Man
A Woman
A Boy
A Girl
Should Not Expect To Receive Anything From The Lord
Because
He Who Cannot Make Up His Own Mind
Is
A Sharp Tool For The Wilful Wily Fraud!

Who Would Have Thought That 

Doubt Is A Thread That Is Spooling 

Forward Backward
Tying One In Knots To Sin
Whilst Untying One's Heart From That Of 

The King
And Rendering One To The Kingdom Of God 

As Good For Absolutely Nothing!?!

Unfruitful Trees Are Dug Up
And Burned!
Burst Wine Vessels
Are Discarded To Be Burned!
Tasteless Salt Is Cast Before Swine
And
Those Doubtful Of God
Take The Position Of The Fraud
And
In The Day Of Vengeance
Will Reap The Fraud's Same Reward!

Seek ... And Ye Shall Find!
Hear The Truth ... And Obey!
Accept The Testimony Of 

Two Or Three Witnesses
And
Take All To The Lord
In Humble Prayer!

I Must Not Doubt!

I Must Not Doubt!

I Must Not Doubt ... The Lord Christ
Because Doubt Is The Satanic Device
Blocking One From The Life Of Light
And Landing One In The Blight Of Life!

Dear Lord,
Have Mercy Upon Me 

Because I Don't Want To The Kingdom

To Be Left Out!

What Good Is ...!?!

What Good Is Faith
When We Do Not Believe The Word!?!

What Good Is Present Help
When We Have No Hope For The Future!?!

What Good Is Following The Church Leader
When We Don't Trust The Master Of Creation!?!

What Good Is Heaven
When We Have No Pleasure
In Righteousness Here!?!

Why Pray For Rain
When The Field Is Flooded!?!
Why Pray For Sun
When There Is A Drought!?!

Why Walk Fast
When Your Body Is Weary To Breaking!?! 

Why Walk To Zion
When Your Burden On The Lord Christ Is Not Cast!?!

There Is, Obviously

A Great Need For Self-Examination

So ... 

Take The First Step: Recognize That

You Are A Sinner

And

Acknowledge Your Sin! 

Take Step Two: Recognize That There Is The Savior

And 

That For Him You Have A Need! 

Take Step Three: Accept 
And 
Acknowledge 

That Your Need For The Savior Is Real! 

Take Step Four: Reach For Him Who Can And Will
Fix Your Need
And
Lead You To The Great Reward!

Thought Without Action Is Dreaming

So ... 

Cast Your Burden Upon The King Of Love
The Lord Of Hill Zion!

Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
When The Flooded Field 

Is

Sin In The Land All Around!

Pray For Son-Shine
When Your Soul 

Is 

Parched From Sin's Drought

And

Walk Fast Even Though Bodily Weary
When Seeking To Escape The Camp Of
The Enemy Of Souls
Satan, The God-Fraud!

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is
Our All In All
And
He Blesses All Who 

- In Working Faith -
On His Holy Name ... Believing
Humbly Call!

Ask The Lord To Fix You
But
Don't Tell Him When Where And How
To Fix You!

If You ... A Mere Man
Can Direct The Traffic Of
The Son Of God
The Glory Of Man
Then
You Have No Need Of Heavenly Help
Because
You Are, Yourself
God On The Earth

And

Since You Are A Physician
Heal Thyself!

If You're God
You Have No Need To Be Saved!
You Make Your Own Ink
Your Own Paper
Your Own Pen
You Invent Your Own Story
And
The Accuser Of The Holy Brethren
Has, By Your High Hand
Already Been Dispensed!

Bottom Line ... 

Man Is Created

So He Needs His Creator!

Man Is Dependent

So He Needs Him Who Is Provider!

The Provider Is The Lord

Who Is Sustainer

Savior 

Redeemer

Judge God And King 

And

It Is In Our Best Interests

With Him To Be Always Talking

And

Our Burdens To Him Always Taking
And
By His Side Always Walking! 

Trust God ... And Grow

And

To Highest Heaven

You Shall Surely Go! 

Almighty God Is Good

And

What Is For Our Good

Is

Ever Always From Almighty God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Thank God ... And Take Courage!?!

Thank God ... And Take Courage
And
Be Joyful ... In Hope
Because
The Weight Of Your Affliction For Jesus Is Light
And
In The Day Soon Coming
His Face ... At Your Presence
Shall Shine With Glorious Delight!

I Can Say This ... Now
But
I Wouldn't Have Been So Quick Some Time Ago
Because
I Felt ...!

... You Felt!?!

Yes, I Felt!
It Is To My Shame, I Well Know!
I Didn't Consider That I Knew Almighty God
By Personal Experience!
I Had Forgotten That I Had Personally Reasoned
With The Eternal God

And

I Have By Free Will And Choice

Chosen

To Walk Under The Banner Of The Lord!

To My Shame ...

Instead Of Stepping In

And

Living Under

I Had Stepped Past The Truth Of
The Preserved And Expressed
Written Promises Of My Faithful Lord
And
I Had Permitted Satan

The Accuser Of The Brethren
- That Abuser Of Men's Bodies
And Men's Minds -
To Practically Cost Me My Faith
In My Jesus
In My Master
In My Lord, God And King
On The Merest And Most Deceitful Of

Human Emotions!

I "Felt" In My Afflictions
So Very, Very, Alone!

Didn't You Remember The Words Of Jesus!?!

What Happened To 

"Into Thy Hands, I Commit My Spirit!?!"

No, I Didn't!
I Had Laid Firm Hold Upon:

My God! My God!

Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me!

I Could Not "Feel" Him
In Whom I Fervently Believed!
All I Could See Was Me ... Alone
In Trial ... Forsaken

In The Crucible ... Rejected
Until A Little Birdie Whispered To Me!

Oh, My!

What Did That "Birdie" Say!?!

I Can Still Hear That Voice Even Now:

Trust In The Lord With All Thine Heart!

Don't Lean On Your Own Understanding!

All That The Lord Has Said He Will

He Will Do!

Don't Let What You Feel

Separate

Your God And You!

And Then ... In That Instant

I Yearned To Read Psalm 91
And
I Went From Wallowing In Feelings
To Building On Facts!

I Realized Finally That

My Relationship With My Lord

Is

Experimental And Experiential!

I'm Sure You Remembered That
Almighty God Is Not A Man That He Should Lie!?!

I Went Further!

I Remembered That

The Living God Holy

Just, Faithful, And Ever True

Is

Not Slack Concerning His Promises

As Man Counts Slackness!

I Grabbed Hold Of:

Wait, I Say, On The Lord!

God Is My Refuge And Strength

A Very Present Help

In Time Of Trouble!

If God Be For Us Aka Me

Who Could Be Against Me!?!

And ...

For Good Measure
"The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God!"
Spoke Loudly

And
With Brand New Meaning!

You Have To Tell Me How That Episode Ended!!

With A New Humility

I Started Praying From A Place Called 

Victory Assured

And
I Honestly Prayed For My Test To Be My Testimony!
I Humbly Prayed For My Sorrow To Be My Song!
I Fervently Prayed For My Love For My Lord 

To Be Vindicated In My Life

And

I Daily Heard Myself Prayerfully Saying:

I Know That My Redeemer

- Not Job's Redeemer, Mind You -

Liveth

And That He Shall Stand

At ... The Latter Day

Upon ... This Earth

And I Pleaded To See Him With My Own Eyes
In My Own Flesh
In Jesus Christ's Peace
And, Blessedly
I Found Rest
Because
I Finally Remembered
And
Understood 

And 

Truly Accepted That
I ... A "Mere" Human
- Because Of Living, Working, Enduring Faith -
Know The Certain End Of The Gospel Story

And

I Truly Thanked My God!

I Fully Embrace That My Faith ... Not My Feelings
Gives Me ... By Almighty God's Great And Free Grace

The Win!

All I've Got To Do 

Is
Wait, Watch, And Work
Because
Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work

And

The King Of Creation

The King Of Glory

The King Of My Life

Is 

Coming To Take Me Home

To Forever Live With Him

In His Glory!!

So, My Friend

What Say You Is The Moral Of The Story!?!

Don't Rely On How You Feel: Know Who Felt

Who Feels Your Pain

The Pain Of Your Sin

Who Carries Your Laid Down Burden

And

Seek To Perfect Christian Character Now

In The Crucible Of Affliction

In This Vale Of Tears

And

After Enduring All For Jesus Christ With Holy Faith

Wear The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness

With Honor And By Right

In Glory ... Later!

Don't Forget To Be Joyful ... In Hope

Because

No Matter Matter

No Matter The Pain

No Matter Satan's Methods

Jesus Christ Saves

And

His Children By Him Always Gain!

I Hear That!

Bottom Line ...

Don't Indulge Doubt

Because

Nothing Is Impossible ... With God!

Almighty God's Salvation Came Down

And

Jesus Christ's Redemption Carries Us Up!

HAPPY SABBATH + God Almighty Broadcasting Network + PRAYER: Keep Us Faithful, Father!

God Almighty Broadcasting Network

All Jesus

All Day

All Night

No Interruptions

No Gimmicks

No Lies

Broadcasting Holy Light For The Saints!

You Are Not Dear, Satan!
You May Obstruct Almighty God's Word 
On The Computer Or Cell Phone
But
What You Seem Not To Remember Or Understand
Is That My Father God 
Is 
Not Fallible Like You And, Of Course, Fallen Man!

Almighty God's Word 
You Can Attempt To Obstruct On Man-Made Devices
But
Like Water
The Living Word Of Truth Finds Its Own Level
And
Though You Break Up Fractions To Bedevil Seeking Man
Almighty God's Word 
- His Preserved Word -
Which Cannot Return To Him Void
Will Accomplish The Eternal God's Will In Man!

Almighty God Said That His Word Will Reap A Harvest!
You Can't Reap If There Was No Planted Seed
And
Since The Living God Has Ordained That 
His Word
His Seed
Will Acquire His Prophesied Gain
Don't You Know That You Should Retire
And 
Accept That You Have Lost
And
Are Lost
And 
All Your Efforts Are In Vain!?!

The Eternal God's Word 
Is 
By The Eternal God Protected!
You Can't Stop It From Moving Around!
It Shall Circumnavigate The Earth
And
It Shall Be A Witness
And, Then
The End
- The End Of All Things -
Shall Come!

Heads, Up!
At That Time
You
Your Befouling Curtain
And
Your Kingdom
All Are Going To Burn
- All The Way To Dust -
Burn Down!

Do Your Damnedness!
You Are Damned!
Nothing Can Save You
You Killed The Savior Jesus
Who Died To Save Me ... MAN
And
Since He Now Ever-Lives
To Make Intercession For Me
I Have Whole-HeartedlyTaken Him For My Portion!

Too Bad For You That
You Had No Such Notion!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Thank You For The Living Word

The Word Of Truth

That Brings Light And Is Life!

Thank You For The Blessed Sacrifice 

Of The Holy Jesus

By Whose Precious Blood

I Am Cleansed And Preserved

Unto Eternal Life!

Help Me, Dear Father

Each And Every Day

In Every Which Way

To Say With Finality

To The Accuser Of The Brethren

The Adversary Of Men's Souls:

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!

You Have No Part In Me!

Jesus Christ Is My Savior

My Redeemer

He Paid My Price!

Heaven At The Last Trumpet

Is My Soul's Goal!

I Belong To The Safe-Sheep Fold!

I Lean On You, Dear Father!

I Shelter In The Shade Of Your Wings!

I Stand On The Rock Of Ages!

I, On The King Of Love, Cling!

Help Me To Walk Softly In The Sanctuary!

Help Me To Keep A Zion Song In My Heart!

Help Me To Never Forget Calvary!

Let The Holy Spirit Find A Welcoming Home

In My Heart!

Remember The Faithful Everywhere!

Remember Those Coming To Faith!

Remember Those Who Mourn Today!

Remember The Meek And The Lowly!

Remember Those Who Soul-Salvation Seek

And

Provide For Us All According To Our Need!

Keep Us Faithful, Father!

Help Us To Glean The Victory Over Sin

And

Help To Stay Working, Waiting And Watching

And

At The Appointed Time

Take Us Home Safely To The Haven Of Rest

Because

It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That 

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy And Forever Bless!

AMEN.

Shepherd-General Moses And Shepherd-King David
Committed Murder!

The Holy God!
Shepherd-General Moses And Shepherd-King David
Were Not Motivated
By Neither Money, Access Nor Power!
They Wanted
- They Whole-Heartedly Desired -
To Walk Always With Their Lord
- The Holy God -
And
To Achieve The Heavenly Reward!

From Lowly Station

Even Unto Kingly Power

Their Portion Was With The Eternal God

And

They Chose To Escape The Realm Of The Fraud

And

By Their Choice

They Received Blessings So Grand

That No Man Can Ever Replicate!

They Trusted Almighty God For Salvation

And

Not "Fate!"

Look At The Champions Of The Faith ...

We Would Do Well
To Look Towards  ... Ourselves
And
Back At The Servant Of God
And
The Man After God's Own Heart
And
In So Doing We Shall See That
Those Of The Eternal God's Camp
- Once Truly Converted 

To The Loving Lord's Faith - 

Will Not Willingly Be Caught 

With The Mortifying Evil Disgrace
Who Takes Sadistic Pleasure
In Creating Real Havoc
All Over The Place

And
Among The Human Race!

Gifts That Keep On Giving ...

Grace 

Is 

The Gift Of The Living God!
Almighty God Treasures Utilization Of 

The Daily Infusion Of Jesus Christ's Faith! 

Jesus Christ's Faith 

Is 

The Currency Of The Glorious Kingdom
And
The Glorious Kingdom 

Is 

Prepared For Those Of Working Faith!

Falling On Free And Freely Available Grace 

- By The Personal Exercise Of Daily Faith -
Is
Never, Ever, Out Of Place!

When You Know You Grow ...

When You Do Wrong ... Confess And Repent!
When You're Chastised ... Accept And Learn From It!
When You Learn From It
Renew Your Commitment To The Holy God
And
Walk Right In His Sight
And
He Will Take Care Of You!
"Set Your Heart's Clock"
And
Daily Depend On It

Because

Your Soul's Salvation
Is
To His Loving A Heart
A Very Special Delight! 

Pride Is No Panacea ...

Please Do Not
- By A Vain Show Of Pride

Doubt And Arrogance -
Your Own Soul's Prosperity Blight!
Walk Always In The Living Light
And
On The Day Of The Lord's Own Appointing

You ... Glorified
Immortalized
Incorruptible
Shall Take The Eternal Life Flight
To The Land Of No Night!

UNCOMMON SENSE: Bright Eyes And Things Shining

I Had Me A ... Revelation!

Nooo!

Yes, Indeed I Did!

You Don't Say!

Indeed I Do!

I Opened Me Old King James
And
It Was There Plain:

Deception Is Coming!

Don't Trust In Your Eyes

For

They Will Show You

Nothing But Plain Lies!

Eyes Like Things Pretty!

Bright!

Shining!

New!

Eyes Like To Be Drawn
To What Scares
To What Awes
Me And You!

Beware The Things You Covet!
Beware The Coveted Things That Clink!
Beware The Coveted Things Clinking
That Push You Away From Sure Salvation
And
Toward Sure Damnation The Brink!

The Love Of Money 
Is
The Root Of All Kinds Of Evil!
Beware Of The Love Of Money
Which Money, Against Your Soul, Will Testify!
Beware The Liar That Urges You
To Indulge The Grand Folly
By His Artful Machinations
Which Involve Telling You
The Great Lie!

The Thing Bright And Shining
Is
Not Always Good!
The Thing Bright And Shining 
Is Not Always New!
Good Is Not Always Obviously Shining
And
Obviously Old Is Not Always Bad For You!

The Word Of God 
Is
Considered Old!
The Word Of God
Is 
Considered Ever New!

The Word Of God
Is
Unmeasured Treasured
And
It Is Always True
Shining Bright 
And 
Shining Whether Day Or Night 
And
Is Ever Always Good For You!

Now, Dear Ones ...

Take A Tiny Bit Of Uncommon Sense
And
Buy A Good-For-You Clue
And
Know Of A Surety That
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Lord Of Life
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Rock Of Refuge
The Savior Of Mankind
Sacrificially Loves You
And
Sacrificially Loves Me, Too!

Be Wise Unto Salvation!

START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT: Cleave Unto God!

Everything In Sight 

Is Not 

By Man Knowable!
Cleave Unto God!

Everything Spoken Of In The Word
Is Not Yet 

- At This Time -

Knowable Unto Man!

Cleave Unto God!

Many Are The Things Probable For
But 

Not Yet Possible With Man!
Cleave Unto God!

Many Are The Areas Of Our Galaxy
And

In The Universe

Not Yet Touchable
Approachable
Reachable
By Man!
Cleave Unto God!

What Is For Man To Know Of

To See

To Hear

To Feel

To Touch 

To Taste

To Understand

To Explain

To Explore

And

To Exploit

All These Are Made Learning Opportunities

For Man

But

Those Things That The Holy God

Has Preserved 

And 

Have Kept ... In His Own Counsels

Man ... By The Eye And Hand Of Presumption

Should Not Take Unto Himself

The Prerogative To Discover!

Brethren, Cleave Unto God!

Lucifer Started It All ...

The Act Of Wanting In

On The Counsels Of God

Led Lucifer Down A Path That

Is 

Leading Him Now Known As Satan

And 

Disobedient Men

Down A Path To A Bitter Burning Reward!

They Did Not

They Do Not

Cleave Unto God!

The Use Of Strange Fire ... Nadab And Abihu

The Attempts Of Wanton Eyes ... Mother Eve

And

The Acts Presumptuous Hands ... Uzzah And King Saul

Have Created More Sorrow Than

The Joy It Was Thought To Be Able To Provide!

Please Do Not Let Us Join

The Unhappy Band Of Bold Sinners

Attempting To Rule In The Temple Of God

- The Hearts Of Men -

By Suggesting That We Are Able 

To Lead Men Where The Almighty God

Has Not Extended An Invitation!

Only Jesus Christ Saves

And

When He Saves

He Saves To The Uttermost!

The Gifts By Almighty God 

Given To Fallen Man

Are True Gifts Of Unfailing Love

And

Said Gifts Are Gifts Of Eternal Blessing!

Please, I Beseech You, Brethren

Accept That Which The Lord God Almighty

Has Given Unto You, Me, Us

And

Do So With Alacrity

With Pleasure

With The Faith That Works

And

With Hearts Humbled By The Gifts!

Do Not Be Presumptuous!

Wait, I Say, On The Lord

And

Cleave Unto God!
