Seven Steps To The Eternal God!

The Steps Are Plain:

Determination ... Set The Mind Toward Knowing God
And

Preparation ... Get Ready To Meet God

Isolation ... Spend Alone-Time With God

Expectation ... Look Always For A Blessing

Adoration ... Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness

Revelation ... Learn God By Letting Him Reveal Himself

Mediation ... Think To Bless Others

Transformation ... Acquire Christ's Character

The Holy God

Knows The End From The Beginning!
He, It Is, That Sustains Us ... In Between
And
All Who Would See Jesus Christ In Peace
Should
With Doing The Will Of Almighty God
Be Enormously Pleased!

Walking With The Eternal God
Requires
Personal Determination
To Get To Know ... Intimately
The Great I AM
And
To Set Aside All Noisome Distractions
And
Those Things Which Do Not Edify!

In Getting To Know The Creator God
One Must Indulge In Preparation
Aka Setting Aside Self
And 

Things Of The Carnal Sort
Because
Personal Sacrifice Is A Desirable Attribute
Which ... Avidly Pursued
Leads One ... Living Only For Christ Jesus
Unto The Great Reward!

Making Time For The Savior God
Requires 
Isolation
Quiet Time
Communion With The Holy Spirit
The Great Teacher
Who Leads Into All Truth
Teaching Guiding Chiding
All In Perfect Love
So That Our Hearts Are Not Lifted Up In Pride
But 

That In The Great God
We May Abide
And
Confidently Confide!

In Walking With The Redeemer God
One Must Have Great Expectations
For
The Blessings Of The Great God Are Never Small!
After All
He Did Make Heaven, Earth And Things All! 

We Must Believe That The Blessing God's Gifts To Us
Are Out Of His Abundant Riches
And
Not Fall For The Sophistries Of Satan
The Wily Dragon
The Benighting Fraud!

What Point Is Our Association

If We Do Not Adore The True God!?! 

It Is A Decided Blessing To Lift Up
The Living God
So, Let's Not Skimp On Praying

Praising
And
Petitioning The Everlasting God
Because
This Is A Precursor
To Our Hallelujah Days!

Let Not This Step Be Just A Momentary Phase! 

As We Walk The Steps To The Kingdom Of Light

Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit

The Lord's Character To Truly Reveal! 

Let Us Not Be Dabblers

But

Become Specialists On Him Who Is

Light Life

Love And Salvation

And

We Shall Not Be Among Those

Who Honor Self

Lift Up Sin

And

Are Walking Toward Sure Damnation!

He Is The God Who Heals! 

And ... 

In The Process Of Our Own Journey

Let Not Forget Our Brethren

By Blood

By Faith

By Affection! 

Let Us Not Forget The Stranger In The Way! 

Let Us ... For The Love Of The Lord Christ

Generously Mediate for Others!

We Are All One Blood! 

We Are Sisters And Brothers! 

Brethren, Beloved

I Tell You The Truth:

We Will Be Transformed! 

We Will Not Be Left Untouched

Unaffected

By Our Relationship With The Lord Christ! 

We, Converted

Regenerated

Shall Be As He Is! 

We Shall Be Like Him! 

With His Character, We Shall Be Adorned

And

We Shall Truly Know

Why, For Us

He Wore That Cruel Cutting Crown Of Thorns!

Please Do Not Let Christ's Sacrifice For Us

Become The Thing Call Waste! 

Let Us Be Vigilant

And

Let The Spirit Of The Living God

The Sin Character In Us ... Today 

Totally Efface!

Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind! 

Set Your Affections On Things Above! 

Desire The Gift That Only God Through Jesus Christ Gives

And

At The Appointed Time

We Shall To The Promised Land

Beulah Land Of Gold

Triumphantly

Go To Eternally Live! 

To Satan ... 

The Words:

"Get Thee Behind Me!"

With Finality

Boldly Give! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Kindred Foes!?!

Malice And Patience
Were Kindred Foes!
Malice And Patience
Each Had In The Grave
One Foot And Four Toes!
One Consented Willingly!
One Was There Because Of Abuse
And
Both Of These Kinsmen Had
Something Vitally Important To Lose!

I Guess I Should Back Up
And
Tell You From The Start
How The Grave Was Dug
And
Who Was The Happy Minnow
And
Who Was The Hungry Whale-Shark!

Patience Was Peaceful!
Malice Was Not!
Patience Was A Saint Of Almighty God
And
Malice Was A Presumptuous Miscreant
Wittingly Working For Prideful King Fraud
Who Was Not Content With His "Pay-Grade"
And, Instead
Wanted What Belonged To The Son Of Almighty God!
King Fraud Even Wanted To Be Almighty God!

King Fraud Used To Be Lucifer
The Covering Cherub
That Angel Shining Bright
Who Was Closest To The Father God
After 
His Only Begotten Son
The Lord Jesus Christ!

He Became Prideful!
He Fell In Love With His Gorgeous Self
And
He Chose Not To Be Corrected Or Chastised!
He Preferred To Be A Ruler In Hell
Than To Be A Prized Servant In Heaven
So He Was Cast Out Of Heaven
With All Those Who Thought As He
And
In This Our Home Land
He Has Agents Like Malice
Creating Havok For Everbody!

Malice Considered Patience
A Blot
A Troubler
A Blight On His Prosperity
Because
Patience Took Everything In Stride
Was Willing To Watch Paint Dry
Is 
A Man Of His Word
And
A Faithful Servant Of The Lord Of Life
And
A Fervent Student Of The Good Book
And
For Daring To Being Heavenly-Minded
He Inspired King Fraud's Ire
And
Received Of His Minions
Spiteful Hateful Cruel Evil Intentions
And
Actions
And 
Very Malicious Looks!

For Malice

Wait Was Weight On The Scale!
Hope Was The Maid Who Brought Aloo Pies!
Truth Was Subjective
And
Deceptions Were Just Plain Pretty Sweet Lies
And
For Him
Salvation 
And 
The Holy Savior
Were Merely Pies In The Sky!

Heaven 
Is 
Perfection To Patience!
To Malice, Perfection Is Not!

The Lord Christ 
Is 
The Loving, Kind Master Of Patience
But
The Devil
And
The Works Of The Devil
- Old Satan -
King Fraud
Cause Malice's Lust-Filled Eyes
Most Happy Tears To Cry!
He Does The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Avidly, Avidly, Defy
And
Salvation ... Free
He Cravenly Denies!

The Road Divided ...

It Is For This Statement, Though
That Malice Thoroughly Hates Patience:

The Law Of God

Is 

A Wall Around The People Of God

But

It Is Being Breached

By Those In The Employ Of King Fraud

Who Use Every Method Or Means Available

To Break Down

Climb Over Or Dig Under

The Foundation Of Truth!

Be Not False-Hearted!

Be Not Lackadaisical Over Faith!

Be Not Vain!

Almighty God Is The Builder!

Satan, King Fraud

Is

The One Profane

And 

All Who Him Follow

- Causing The Lord Christ

New Pain And Shame -

Shall Not Escape Condemnation

Nor Damnation's Burning Flame!

The War Was On!

Chastisement ... To Monsieur Malice
Is 
Not Considered
The Spice Of Life!

Malice Gives!
Malice Cannot Take!

Patience Is Looking Up To Go Up!
Malice Is Tearing Down And Going Down!

I Tell You The Lord's Truth ...

Malice Is Not A Mensch!
His Backbone Is A Fake!

Resist That Work Of The Devil!
He Will Flee From You!
Trust The Lord Christ!
He Died The Cruel Death
To Forever Save Me And You!

Patience Is A Virtue
A Fruit Of The Spirit Of Almighty God!
Malice Is Likewise A Virtue
But
That "Virtue" ... Poisonous
Is 
From That Snake, Satan
The Known Fake
The Wannabe God!

If You Dance With Malice
You'll Never See Inside Heaven
The Known Safe Sheep Fold!
In Patience
With Patience
By Patience
Possess You, Your Soul!
Trust The Lord Jesus!
Run The Race For Tried Gold!

HAPPY SABBATH: Deal!?! No Deal!

Future Good
And
Momentary Indulgence
Were Squaring Off!

At Stake ...

A Mess Of Red Bean Stew
Against The First Born's Birth-Right!

The Struggle Was Real ...

Physical Hunger ... Against Spiritual Longing! 
Love Of Almighty God ... Against Self-Love! 
Rush To Idolatry ... Against Walk To Salvation!

The Result Of The Tussle
Will ... Forever
Change The Earth!
The Struggle Is Still Going On!

The King Of Love
The Good Shepherd
- The Lord Of Life - 

The Angel Of The Covenant

The High Priest Of Our Profession

The Creator

The Redeemer 

Our True Friend  Was Watching!
He Is Still Watching ... Today!

Imagine ... If You Will

Twins!

One, Smooth Studious
Careful Caring Devoted
- A Homebody Farmer Shepherd - 
Longing For The Priesthood!

The Other, Irreligious
Hairy Wild
Reckless Indisciplined
Interested Only In Wealth 

Power
And
Unrestrained Freedom!
There Is Nothing New Under The Sun!

Theirs Is A Collison Of ... Ideals
With
Eternal Implications!

Somebody Is Going To Cry Crocodile Tears
And
Somebody Is Going To Have To Run

Far, Far, Away!

Sin Does Not Pay! 

Jacob Was Righteous: He Loved The Son Of Man! 

Esau Was Wicked: He Loved Mammon!

Jacob Wanted To Serve The Lord For Heavenly Reward! 

Esau Wanted To Be The Lord Who Rewards! 

Jacob

- By Deceit -

Tried To Help The Lord

And

Ended Up Running Away

His Life To Keep!

For 20 Years

He Looked After Greedy Uncle Laban's Goats And Sheep! 

Esau Tried To Help Himself

By Trivializing His Birth-Right

And

In So Doing

He Brought Forth The Idea Of Planned Fratricide

To Regain What He Had Held 
With A Careless Hand Light!

Be Ye Warned ... 

We Do Not Help God

By Doing Wrong To Gain The Right! 

All We Get For Our Base Endeavors

Is 
Upon Our Prosperity A Blight

And

All Who Will To Serve The Almighty

Should Take This Revelation To Heart

And

Trust The Eternal God  ... In His Providence

His Timely Blessing To Impart!

Believe It ...

The Lord's Ways Are Right! 

His Timing Is Never Late! 

Carnality Can Never Bless Divinity

So Do Not In That Diabolical Play 

Choose To Participate! 

Heads Up ...

Those Who Are The Blessed Of God

The Heirs Of His Sure Salvation

Will

Must

Wrestle With The Lord

In The Dark Night Of Despair

If

It Is Their Soul's Desire

To Meet The King Of Love In The Air!

Repentance Is A Blessing ... 

We Must Confess All Our Known Sin! 

We Must Repent Of The Sordid Past! 

We Must Accept And Stand On The Promises Given 

And

Declare Our Allegiance To The Promise-Keeper

And

Being Humble

- Of A Contrite Spirit -

Deliver Up A Broken Heart

And

Command The Blessing

From The Now Christ-Regenerated Heart!

Brethren, 

We Must Not From Right Paths Ever Depart! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Please Don't Be An Esau

Living Like A Louse

Doing What You Will

Of Earthly Power Being Carnally Jealous! 

Seek After The Things Of God

Trusting Him For You To Do

And

Don't Be Licorish For

The Readily Available For The Asking

But Oh, So, Pricey

Delicious-Smelling

Sure-To-Be-Tasty

Red-Bean Stew

That Will Your Birth-Right Cost You! 

What A Savior ... 

Let The Lord Lead! 

Carnal Lust 
Is 
Satan's Prized Steed! 

Please Do Not This Race Horse Feed

And

You Shall Not The Prayer Of Remorse Need! 

Let The Lord Of Glory Lead!
His Back Is Broad!
His Shoulders Strong!
His Blood Efficacious!
His Wisdom Eternity Long!
His Promise Is Certain!
His Faithfulness Sure!
Victory Over Sin Is The Promise
And
His Way Is Certain
Because
He Has The Cure!
He Is The Door!

A River Runs Through It! + PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Be Diligent!

Separate N. Peculiar People
And
Holy N. Peculiar Character
Are Members Of The Family Of Almighty God 

And 

The Lord Jesus Christ!

They Are Directed, Taught And Chided
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- Wisdom Self -
And
They Permit Themselves To Be Influenced
By The Holy Angels
Who Also Are Their Protectors!

They Are Roundly Hated
Despised
Disparaged
Denigrated
Dismissed
And
When Expedient
Deep-Sixed
By Him Who Has Let Go
- Actually Cast Off -
Heavenly Love
And
In Whom Is No Kindly Light Shining!

Satan And Team Tawdry
Try Tenaciously To Tempt Them
To Turn Away From Truth
From Trusting The Godhead

And, Instead
To Choose To Be Tenderly Tickled By Trifles!

The Father Of The Faithful
Calls Them To Be Tested, Tried
And 
Proved
To See If They Will Endure All Things
For The Master
The Creator
The Redeemer
The Forever Friend
So That They Reside Forever With Him
In The Mansions Of The Blessed
In The Land Where No One Grows Old
Where He Who Gives Light
Is
He Who Is Life
The Delight Of The Soul!

The Streets There Are Made Of Purest Gold
And
Water ... The Water Of Life
Is 
Like Crystal!
The Tree Aka The Tree Of Life
Has 
The River Of The Water Of Life
Running Through It!

I Don't Know About You
But
I Know The Desire
To Want To Drink From It!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Love You!

You Bless Me Indeed!

I Desire To Live For You

So

Succour Me, I Plead!

I Desire To Live With You

In The Mansions Of The Ever-Blessed

And, So

My Father Beloved

All My Known Sin I Sincerely Confess!

Teach Me To Number My Days

So That I May Not Sin Against Thee!

Teach Me To Honor You In All Things

So That I Do Not Desire To Live Without You!

Grant Me, Dear Father

The Blessing Of Joy

Peace

And

Sweet Rest

As I Strive Ever To Obey You

On My Journey Home

To The Land Of No Carnal Flesh!

Please Let The Holy Spirit Fall Upon Me!

Oh, How I Pray For The Holy Spirit

My Being To Indwell!

Oh, How I Pray To Be

A Fit Vessel For Your Service:

Father, I Don't Deserve It

But For The Love Of Jesus

I Wholeheartedly Desire It!

Father,

I'm Waiting For My Master's Appearing

And

I'm Watching The Signs Of The Times

And

I'm Working:

I Pray To Be Diligent In The Work

So Please Help Me

My Duties Not To Shirk!

I Thank You For Hearing

And

For Answered Prayer

For I Ask For These Blessings

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN.

The Sacrifice Of Fools: SPEECH!?! + PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Season My Words With Salt!

In Tiny Town Lived Red Rag!
His Best Friend Was Below D. Nose
Whose Partner Was Above D. Chin
And Being Ever Always In Cahoots
Around The Town ... They Shared Bare Blows!

People Just Couldn't Seem To Figure Out
That Above D. Chin And Below D. Nose
Were Partners In Red Rag's Profits
And They Always Fell Into The Trap Set By
N. Discretion
That Windbag
That Loose-Lip Poppet!

One Day
There Was A Big Bruhaha
When Philbert And Peanut Exchanged Words
Words So Very Egregious That 
Sticks And Stones Were Not Necessary 
To Be Hurled!

You May Speak With Your Mouth!
You Don't Pay Taxes On It!

You Always Lay Down
The Sacrifice Of Fools!

You Are Nothing But Satan's Agent!

Now, You Know That You're Just Being Cruel!

Red Rag Was In His Element!
His Hinges Were Sweetly Oiled
And He Took Great Pride In His Eloquence
Until Impressionable Ears Felt ... Well
Soiled!

This State Of Affairs
Could Not Be Allowed To Be Continued
So, Masterful Midget
- That Giant Amongst Men -
Raised His Voice Roundly
Until All Were Subdued!

Brethren, Brethren!
Can't You See What You Are Doing!?!
The Sacrifice Of Fools
Is
All The Words, Useless
That You Are Continually Speaking!

King Solomon The Wise
Spoke Well Of You Combatants
Ever Willing To Have The Final Say
Not Recognizing That Your Eloquence
Is 
Simply Effluent

The Size Of Which Will Make Your Body Pay!

You Gain Nothing
By This Disgusting Display
And
You Give Old Evil Satan Numerous Cards

Perfect Against You Boldly To  Play!

Think ... Before You Speak!
Let Your Words Be Few!
Weight Each Word In The Balance
And
Let The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Lead You!

You Do Not Grow In Stature!
In Fact
Your Spent Words
Cut You, Personally, Down To Size
And
Show, Indicate, Indentify
For All Listening
That The Lord's Good Work In You
In Nothing Short Of A Bold Lie!

Out Of The Heart
The Mouth Speaks
So, How About Checking Your Heart Out
With The Holy God
And
Think, Think, Think
Before Your Give Utterance
And
Give A Goodly Treat To The Base Fraud!

There Are No Fools
In The Eternal God's Kingdom!
There Are No Unkind Persons!
There Is Not One Who Puts Self Before Others
And
None Who Raises Self Before The Living God!

If You Will Make The Lord's Glorious Heaven
Your Eternal Abode
You Must Keep A Civil Tongue In Your Head!
If Necessary
Close Your Mouth With A Thread Attached To Lead
And
Take Your Cue From The Master
When Before The Sanhedrin
Pontius Pilate
King Herod
As A Prisoner He Was Led!

What You Put Into Your Heart
Through Your Eyes
Through Your Ears
Is 
Regurgitated When Before Others You Speak!
Is The Impression You Choose To Sell
One That Is Lit From The Fires Of Hell
Or One That Is Gleaming
With The Wisdom Of The Lord

Who Gives To Each Person ... Finally

His Just And True Reward!?!

The Choice 
Is 
Yours!
Make Wise Your Decision!
Soft Words Turn Away Wrath
But
Harsh Words Lead To Condemnation!

It's Time For New Beginnings

Or Else
Heaven ... You'll Not Be Entering! 

PRAYER:

Father,

You Are My God

And

I Worship You!

I Come Before You

Because

I Know That For Me You Care

And

Because Of Your Great Grace

Which Plainly Says That

I Can Approach Without Fear!

I Need Help!

The Living Word States Clearly

That Words, Indeed, Have Weight

And

Our Own Weighty Words

Will Cut Out For Us

Our Final Fate!

Please Help Me, Father

I Beseech You

To Season My Words With Salt

And

To Exercise Restrain

Before Wildly Uttering

 The Often Unwise Words

To Which I Gave Little Thought!

Please Bless Me To Be Faithful

To The Lord Whom I Adore

And

By Your Holy Spirit

Direct The Traffic Of My Speech

So That The Devourer 

Does Not Upon My Blood Leech!

I Desire To Be Gentle

To Be Loving, Kind And True

And

Most Of All, Dear Father

I Desire The Forever Home With You!

Grant Me The Victory

So That My Teeth May Be The Ivory Bars

Closed

Against The Loose

The Wayward Tongue

So That In The Day Of Small Things

On The Conquering King's Side

In Peace

I May Be Found!

Thank You For Hearing

And

For Answering My Prayer

For I Ask All In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

Your Only Begotten Son!

I Love You!

Have Mercy And Bless!

AMEN.
