Self-Indulgence ... Undisturbed!?!

Prideful Indulgence
Pleasurable Self-Indulgence
And
Undisturbed Self-Indulgence
Cared Not One Wit For Soul-Care Nor Self-Denial
And
They Valiantly Strove To Forget The True And Living God!

To Put It Quite Plainly
These Three Set The Bar Real High When It Came To 
Indulging Self-indulgence ... Undisturbed!

They Epitomised Self-Delusion
And
They Were Pleased To See Some Folk Following Them
Some Other Folk Desiring To Follow Them
And
All Blindly Emulating Their Light Grasp 
On Things Which Vigilant Christians 
Ought To Take To The Lord Christ
In Prayer
Or Prayer And Fasting!

Misguided Thinking ...

These Moojins 
- Certain People Even Called Them Moon-Donkeys -
Considered Life To Be "Just For Living!"
AndThe Non-Stop Party
For Having The Good Old Blast!

On The Issue Of Jesus Christ's Gift Of Faith
And
Increasing Faith
They Had No Time Nor Thoughts As Regards
Talking About Faith
Living In Faith
Or Working Their Faith
So Increasing Faith Was Not Even A Blip On Their Radar!

As Was Inevitable
A. Preacher Mann Came Into Town
And
At The Revival Time Crusade
- Which Everybody Seemed To Be Attending -
He Gave Them The Length Of His Tongue
Telling Them About Unchecked Self
Ignored Brother
And
Can't Be Bothered With Other
Soul Lover
And
Salvation Cover!

Preacher Mann ... A Real Preacher Of Righteousness
Had A Brief From The Eternal
The One God Holy, Just, Kind And True
And
He Was Laying It All On The Line
- No Holds Barred -
But
With Compassionate Kindness
Having Recognized And Accepted
And 
Believing That
But For The Grace Of The Living God
There He Walked, Too!

Thinking Deep Thoughts ...

You Know
When Self And Indulgence Contemplate
Communicate 
And
Commiserate
It Is Inevitable That They Will Become One
And 
Through The Short Span Of Mortal Life
- Which They Disavow -
They Will Seek To Transit ... Undisturbed
By Working, Watching, Waiting, Faith Now
And
Awesome, Dreadful, Sight Later!

Thought Patterns Are Juiced ...

Spirituality Was For Saps!
Right-Doing Was A Rip-Off!
Truth Was A Tear-Head!
Blessings Were Bought!
Belief Was Blighted, Benighted
And
The Name Of Christ Was Bandied About Like A Curse!

Cleansed Eyesight ...

For The Tripping Trio
Blinding Awareness Of Purchased Soul-Condition
Put All O' Their Behavior Into Instant Focus
And
Finding Help
Became Their Operating Locus!

Suddenly
Truth And Righteousness Were No Longer Hocus Pocus!

Light Was Shining In Dark Places
And
They Could See Of Sordid Past ... Innumerable Traces 

Truth Is Often Stranger Than Fiction
And
Without Blinking
They Rapidly Made The Decision That
Base And Brutish Were Their Known And Practiced Predilections!

They Availed Themselves
After A Brief Battle With Fallen Angel
Evil Spirit
And 
Damned Demon
They Gracelessly, Fearlessly, Embraced
Soul-Searching
Confession Of Known Sin
Repentance Toward The Father
And
Hungered For
And
Embraced The Daily Gift Of The Faith Of Christ Jesus!
They Finally Recognized
And
Avidly Appreciated
The Unmerited Favor Aka Grace Of The Eternal God!
They Finally Saw Through 
The Machinations Of King Fraud!

The True Light ...

Finally, Actually, Really Seeing Through New Eyes
They Indulged No More Random Acts Of Rejecting Truth
No More Living Like A Louse
No More Neglecting The Soul House
No More Operating With Vengeful Spirits 
And
Indulging The Gainsaying Joust!

The Cross Of Christ Became Their Crest
And
Accepting That There Is Eternal Life With Christ
They Chose Water Baptism
Aka Full Body Immersion!

They Chose The Life Of Light!
They Boldly Changed Sides
And
Wittingly Walked The Strait And Narrow Way
Unto Eternal Life! 

Broadway No Longer Held Any Appeal
And
They Chose To Indulge In Destroying
The Known-Demonic Device!

Christ's Love Became Their Life
And
Effectively
They Participated Actively
- Against Satan, The One Base -
In The Mortal Strife! 

They Desire The Glorified Life
And
They Learned To Pray!





Brethren,
As Committed Christ-Followers
We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing!
We Are To Go To The Lord ... In Faith
- No Doubting -
Consistently, Persistently,
To The Point That, If God Were A Man
And
Able To Be Wearied By Our Constant Cries For Aid
He Would Say, 

"Enough Already! Take This!"

Almighty God Is Not A Man
And 
Our Prayers Are Not A Bother!

Our Persistence Says,

"Lord, I Believe! 
Please Help Me! 
From You, A Gift I Desire To Receive!"


Bless Yourself By Praying With Passion!
God Hears With Love And Compassion!
Pray According To God's Will For You
And 
You Will Be Gloriously Blessed!
That's A Memorialized Promise Of God!

Never Forget, Though ...

Known Sin Must Be Confessed!

Self Is A Bold Sinner
And
Self Brings Shame! 
Praying Proves That We Are Dependent
Upon The Omnipotent God
For Comfort And Aid!

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

Bow Your Heart
And
Be Eternally Blessed!

Happy In Jesus Christ!

I'm Trying To Walk 
The Straight And Narrow But I Keep Stumbling!
I Don't Want To Stumble Or Fall Short Of His Glory 
And Being Able To See His Face On Judgement Day!

Sheldene, I Know That You Believe That 
Christ Is The Answer
So When You Fall
Just Get Back Up, Confess Your Sin, Repent
And
Ask The Lord ... By His Holy Spirit
To Help You Not To Do The Same Sin Again!

We Are Flesh
But

Praise The Eternal God
Jesus Christ Saves!

Jesus Was Tempted In The Flesh Just As We Are
But
Did Not Sin
Because
Jesus Knew The Word
And
The Power Of The Word! 

His Response To The Wiles Of Satan Was

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

Jesus Trusted The Word
And
He Believed The Promises Therein Given!


Jesus Christ Is The Word ... Made Flesh!

Lady Shel, If You Do Not Stand Firmly In Your Faith In Jesus
And
Rebuke Satan Soundly
The First Time You Are Tempted To Do Wrong
You Will Fall
And
Each Successive Temptation For The Same Sin

Will Be Harder To Ignore
When You Meet It In Your Own Strength!

The Lord Loves You, Personally
And 

Desires To Save You, Personally!
He Has Promised That 
When We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
And
Will Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!

Listen To The Words Of The Shepherd-King David
Pleading Passionately With The Lord!


KJV Psalms 51
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, 
according to thy lovingkindness: 
according unto the multitude of 
thy tender mercies 
blot out my transgressions.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; 
and take not thy holy spirit from me.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; 
that the bones which 
thou hast broken may rejoice.




Listen Also To The Apostle John
Pleading With His Christian Children 
To Walk Right Before The Lord:





Jesus Christ Was Made Sin
Surety And Security For Us! 


Lean On His Love For You And You Will Be Okay!


However, Dear Lady, 
Let Me Warn You:

To Deliberately Commit Sin
Knowing It Is Wrong
Is
To Commit The Sin Of Presumption
And
That Is To Tread On Dangerous Ground
Walking Willfully Outside Of 

The Lord's Hedge Of Protection!

Presumption Places You On The Devil's Turf
And
If You Do That You Will Be Sorry!


I Am Encouraging You To Commit Your Life
Your Walk, Your Work
Your Thoughts And Your Actions
To The Lord
And
Permit Him To Have His Way With You!


Forward Ever, Backward Never ...

Don't Do A Lady Lot And Look Back At "The Good Times!"
They Were Never Good To Begin With
And
Don't Envy Anyone Their "Prosperity!"


There Is No Eternal Prosperity Without Jesus Christ!
TRUST HIM!


The Lord 
Is 
Right Now In The Most Holy Place Of 
The Heavenly Sanctuary
In Front Of His Father And Ours
- As High Priest ... Mediator -
Interceding For You And For Me!


Beloved,
I Understand Your Concerns

And
I Beseech You, Please
Don't Indulge Ungodly Worry When You Have Been Given
By The Creator Of The Universe
The Privilege Of Praying To His Father
In His Holy Name!


Think ... Meditate 
On This Salutation To The Brethren
From John The Beloved, Seriously:






Sufficient Grace
Free Mercy
Perfect Peace
Absolute Truth
And 
Amazing Love
Display To Us The Character Of The Holy God 
And 
Our Infinite Gift From Heaven Above!

Brethren, Beloved,

If There Is Ever A Time To Indulge Lust And Greed
It Is For These Precious Gifts 

Expansively Given Unto Us 
Through The Eternal God's Sacrificial Love!

You, Me, We Are Blessed Indeed
So Let's Start Living Like We Truly Believe It!
Utilize Your Gift Of Peace Today!


Jesus Christ's Gift Of Peace To Us
Surpasses Human Understanding!

Thank You All For Sharing!

All I Can Honestly Say
Is That I Am Blessed 
And I Truly Know It
And Understand It ... Now!

May The Lord Watch Over You
And Keep You Safe In His Loving Care!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith's Gotta Work!






Heavenly Gifts Are Daily Given!
Faith, Amongst Them
Requires That We Use What We Have
And
Is That Treasure That We Need To Succeed
And
Is The Gift That We Need To Use
If
We Are Not To Go To Hell 
With Satan And His Angels
And
With That Thing Called Bre'k-Neck Speed!

Faith Without Corresponding Work
Is 
Dead ... Dead As A Door-Nail
And
There Is Not Anything That 
Anyone Can Do For Us Unless And Until
From The Hand Of The Gifter
We Substantially Take Our Fill
And
Start Walking Home ... To Our Father
Who Is In Heaven
That Place Of Rest 
That Is The Saved Man's Haven!

Get A Grip On Yourself ...

We Must Stop Partaking Of 
The Pharisee's Leaven Which Calls 
Faith, Foolish
Love, Cheap
Hope, Hellish
And
Unregenerated Self ... The Chief!

We Are Targets ... 

We Have Bullseye Targets
On Our Backs, Chests
Our Foreheads 
And
On Our Hands And Knees
And, Yet
The Most Efficient Bullseye
Is
The One Covering The Ear
The Covering The Eye
Those Recording Devices Of A Man
That Take Into The Unwary Heart 
The Known-Demoralizing Lie!

The Devil, Satan
The Dragon, The Serpent
That Snake In The Garden Was A Talker
Glib ... Even Unto This Day
Reaching Into The Mind Of Man
Through His Ear, Through His Eye
And
Endeavoring There To Stay
To Play Footsie
To Run Foot-Loose
Mangling
The Certain Truth
Hopeful
To Make A Miniscule Breach
And
Thereby Cause One To Relax Their Hold 
On Him Who Guarantees
Eternal Youth! 

Know The Right ... 

Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of Almighty God! 
Doubt Comes By Hearing The Word Of Satan
Our Accuser
The Adversary Of Our Souls
That Known Murderer
Who Desires Us To Worship Him
And Thereby
Steal The Prerogatives Of The Holy
The Eternal
The Living, Blessing, Giving One God! 

Watch Unto Pray ... 

Guard Your Heart
For Out Of It Come The Issues Of Life! 
Fix Your Eyes' Focus
And
Focus Totally On Christ! 
Unstop Your Ears
And
Tune Your Antennae
To The Frequency Of Christ
Who, For Your Purchased Soul
Personally, Personally Cares! 

Get Your Soul-House In Order ...

Live For The Life-Giver! 
Walk With The God Wise! 
Speak As A Saint Of The One God Holy
And
Do Not Mother Eve's Error Foolishly Reprise! 

Do Not Choose To Do As Daddy Adam Did
Preferring To Share The Fate Of 
The Disobedient One Loved
Instead Of Obeying The Lover Of Your Soul
Who Has Prepared A Place For You
In The Father's House
In The Heavenly Realm Of Love! 

Stand Up In The Faith Of Jesus!
Rest Upon His Word!
Permit Yourself To Be Influenced By Holy Angels
And
Turn Away From The Ways
The Means
The Pleasures ... The Perversions
Of The Wayward, Wily, Willful
Wastrel, Wandering, Wild-Goat Herd
Which Has Been Had By Him Who Hates
Who Loves To Skate 
Around Truth
Around Righteousness 
Offering That Which Does Not Bless
Does Not Confer Eternal Success 
But 
Stresses, Strands
And
Lands The Unwary Human
In The Barren Land
Where There Is No Light
No Love
No Sweet Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
No Bread Of Life
And
No Water Of Life
But
Provides Ample Supplies Of Strife, Sorrow
Gnashing Of Teeth
And Inevitably To Follow
Damnation
And
Second Death
Which Is Eternal Separation From The Holy God! 
That Is The Known Unrepentant Sinner's Reward! 

Choose Your Radio Station Carefully ...

Do Not Listen To The Words Of Satan
The Agile, Adept, Adaptable, Known God-Fraud
Nor The Words Of His Minions
Who Are Attuned To His Ways
And
Proudly Pleased With Their Putrifying Profits
Unmindful Of The Facts That
Soon Comes The Day Of The Lord Christ
The Day Of Small Things
The Great Judgment Day
The Day Of The Redeemed! 
Thereafter, Truth Is  Forever Esteemed! 

Hold The Fort Of Faith ... 

Let Your Gift Of Daily Faith Work ... For You! 
Bless The Lord Christ With Your Faith 
Your Trust, Your Hope, And Your Belief 
As He Blesses You With Righteousness
Goodness And Truth! 

The Bottom Line ... 

Give The Lord Christ Your Will
So That He Makes Your Way Plain: 

Keep Your Hand In The Hand Of Mercy!
Keep Your Gait In Step With Grace!
Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Hill Zion
And
Your Hope In Him Who Is Just And Faithful 
Who Will Never Your Faith In Him
Ever, Ever, Ever Disgrace! 

Jesus Christ's Heart Is True
And
He Is The Truth
And
He Lives To Bless Me And You! 


The King Is Coming! 
Get Washed 
And
Get And Stay Ever Ready!

HAPPY SABBATH + Discovering Faith's Real Value!






The Devil Is The Liar!
His Words Are Truth Reversed
And
All Who Follow Him Foolishly
Shall Ride
In Damnation's One-Way-To-Hell Hearse! 

Believers In Jesus
Are
Eternally Blessed
And
Never, Ever, Cursed!

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

I Have Made A Discovery!
Faith ... Christ's Daily Gift To Us
Is
The Balm
That We May Apply To Our Day
- According To Our Need -
No Matter What The Devil
That Lying Satan, Says!

Some Of Us May Need Or Require A Little Dab
A Dot, A Dash ... You Know, A Tittle
But
As Is To Be Expected
Of A Life Lived In The Vale Of Tears
A Liberal Application
May Be Required To Successfully Attain Our Goal!

Use Jesus' Gift As You Must 
To Save Your Own Soul!

Call!
Cry!
Pray!
Plead!
Lean On Almighty God's Love
And
Reason With Your Maker
And
On The Living Word Feed
Doing All That He Asks Of You!
Faith Is Living Seed!

The Truth Is Sacred ...

Suggestions Are Not Something
That The Lord Ever Makes
So Do As You Are Instructed
Invited ... Encouraged
Pled With To Willingly Do
And
You Shall Have Sowers Of Blessings
That Ripen You For The Saved-Soul Harvest!
Do Not Do Yourself The Lost-Cause Disservice!

Every Party Comes To An End ...

Do Not Be Left In Outer Darkness
Because
You Followed The Folly Of
The Fulminating Snake
Who Would Love To Strike You In The Heart
With His Fangs As Stakes!

You Know What You've Got ...

Be Not Wise In Your Own Eyes!
With Faith Ever At The Ready
Accessible
Always In The-Love-For-Christ Heart
You Shall Surely Taste Of Spiritual Success
And
The Life You Live
Will Always Be Blessed Of Heaven
But
Not Necessarily Of The Earth
Whereon We're Just Passing Through
So Do Not Upon Temporal Prosperity Dwell
Or You Shall Find Out Too Late That Heaven
- The Haven Of Rest -
Shall Be The Realm ... Barred
Permanently To You!

All Of God's Gifts Are Good ...

Faith Is A Blessing!
Faith Is A Balm!
Faith Is A Blessing Balm In The Hand Of
The Regenerated Child Of God 
Daily Delivered
And
Daily ... Moment By Moment Applied
By The Hand Of The Receiver Only
For The Receiver's Benefit Solely!

All Of God's Gifts Work ...

Firm Faith Fills!
Firm Faith Thrills!
Firm Faith Utilized
Is 
The Only Way 
Old Satan's Venom Against Us 
Can Ever Be Killed!

Warning, Warning, Warning ...

Please Do Not Set Aside Your Gift Of Faith
Because
If You Do
You Shall Old Satam
Inordinately Thrill! 

Use Your Faith
And
Be To Old Satan
An Ever-New, Always-Sharp
Constantly-Performing Buzz-Kill!

Brethren,

Of Your Gift Of Daily Faith
Ravenously Imbibe
And
Be Gloriously Blessed And Filled
And
Let The Lord Christ Over You 
Be Lovingly Thrilled!


There Is No Profit
In Living To Be Carnal!
Give To The Lord Christ
Your Way And Your Will:
The Return On Your Investment
Is
And
Shall Be
Infinite And Eternal!

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: The Meek And Gentle Spirit!

They Love To Say That They Have Talents
Capital "T" And "S" At The End

So There Is No Need For Them To Be Meek
And That They Do Not To Others
- In Humility -
Have To Bend!

Big Whoo Hoo!!

Well, I've Got Jesus!
Creator At The Beginning
Savior In The Middle
And 
Redeemer At The End!
My Soul Against Damnation
He Defends!

They Would Do Well 
To Look At Mary The Mother Of Jesus
Elizabeth The Mother Of John The Baptist
Sarah The Mother Of Isaac And The Shunamite Woman!

Look At The Woman At The Well! 

Look At Hannah, Prophet Samuel's Mum
And, Then Look Around You And Look At Us
And See The Arrogance, The Pride
The Willful Waywardness
The Desire For The Preeminence
The Desire To Rule
The Constant Butting Of Heads
Because
No One Wants To Be Second
No One Want To Follow
No One Wants To Serve
Because
They Just Want To Be Seen
And
To Do That Properly
They Are Creating Havok
Amongst The People Of God
And
Retarding The Work Of The Lord Christ!


Instead Of Blessing With Faithful Service
They Are Doing The Benighting Work Of Satan, The Liar
The Wannabe God!


We, As Committed, Christian, Women 
Need To Learn To Be Meek!

Men, Too!

We, As Committed, Christian, Women Need
The Savior's Will Daily To Seek! 

Men, Too!

We Need To Stop, Think 
And 
Turn Away From Folly
And
Once And For All Times Learn That

Competition Causes Compromise
That A Broken Tailbone Always Results
From The Prideful Fall
That The Higher A Monkey Climbs
The More His Unmentionables Are Exposed
That Disdain For The Simple
Always Causes One To Neglect The Prayer Phone
That What Sweetens The Goat's Mouth Often Burns Him In The Tail
That Being Humble Is Not Fatal

And
That Being Meek Doesn't Mean One Is A Failure!

We Need To Remember That The Master Was Meek
And
We Need To Constantly Remember His Whole Character
The Methods He Used
The Means
The Walk
The Wisdom
The Watching Unto Prayer
The Desire To Please His Father

And
His Ready Willingness
The Good News To All Hearers
Compassionately, Lovingly, To Share
And
Without Fear!


Our Gentle Jesus ... The Man Of Sorrow
Lord Of Earth And Sky And Sea
Willing Servant
Willing Sacrifice Pure And Clean
Served With Kingdom Purpose
And
Not To Be Seen!


The Lord Lived What He Taught:
Humility With Love
Sharing With Hope
Blessing With Promise
Untainted By Time
Untempted By Tests
Unbothered By Base Courseness
Willing To Uplift The Faceless
The Tasteless, The Tawdry
The Profaned
Willing To Bless Bountifully
The Blind, The Halt, The Lame
Willing To Cleanse The Careless
The Clueless, The Foolish

And
Always With A Kind Heart
A Pure Heart
A Firm Voice
To Lay Out Truth Unpopular 

To The Puffed Up, Prideful, Self-Aggrandized
But
So Very Needed And Necessary
For Those Who Have Seeking Hearts
Searching Eyes
Attuned-To-Truth Ears
To Uplift Them
To Save Them
And
Against The Great Day Of Small Things
Impregnably Seal!


Unrepentant Sinners Shall Be Seared!


The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Rules The World
For Good
For Ill
For Blessing
For Blight
For The Delight Of Satan
Or
For The Delight Of The Glorious One
Who Will Give To His Meek Ones

- On The Day Appointed -
The Earth Made New
And
Eternal Life!


Brethren,


I Am Sure Of Only One Thing:
It Is Time For Us To Change Into Gospel Shoes!

Being Meek Doesn't Mean
Being  A Door Mat
Nor A Mattress!
It Means Having The Character Of Christ
The Heart Of The Living, Holy God
Ever To Delight!


Being Meek Requires Faith's Pure Eyesight 
Which Gives Foresight
Which Negates The Need For Hindsight! 


Christ's Oversight Causes Us To Have Insight
Obviating The "Need" For Putrid Pride
Lost-Man Lust
And
Enervating Envy!
It's Time That We Cease From Wanting
With The Dying World To Be Trendy!


Indeed!
It Was Envy That Got Us Into This Mess 
In The First Place!

Thank God That Jesus Christ Saves!
