Power In The Blood!

Okay, People!
Friends ... Brethren,
It Is Time To Get Real
To Remove Doubt From Your Lunch Pail
To Stop Drinking Liarman's Ale
And
By Almighty God's Free Mercy
And
Always Sufficient Grace
Get Thee Hence From Damning Sin's Jail!

Let's Start From The Position Of Strength:

Almighty God Is Real!

Jesus Christ Is The Only Begotten Son Of God
Jesus Christ Is Our Creator
Jesus Christ Is Our Savior
Jesus Christ Is Our Hope
Jesus Christ Is The Truth
Jesus Christ Is The Way To Our Father In Heaven
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 

What Must You Always Do!?!

Believe, Trust, And Call Upon His Name!

The Holy Spirit Is Our Teacher!
The Holy Spirit Is Our Comforter! 

What Must You Always Do!?!

Trust His Power And Let Him Lead!

The Holy Angels Are Our Protection!
The Holy Angels Are Our Good-Influence Agents! 

They Excel In Strength!

What Must You Always Do!?!

Trust The Lord's Love And Be Not Afraid!

The Word Of God Is Our Operating Manual For A Blessed Life!
The Word Of God Is Our Shield!

What Must You Always Do!?!

Live On And In The Word!

The Prayer Of Faith Is Our Passport To Peace!

What Must You Always Do!?!

Prayer In Faith, Nothing Wavering!

The Breath Of God Makes Us Living Souls!
We Do Not Have Immortality!
We Are Not Immortal Beings!

We Die And ...!?!

... The Dead Know Nothing!

• Satan Is A Finite Being
• Satan Is Not Immortal
• Satan Is Not All-Knowing
• Satan Is Not All-Seeing
• Satan Is Not Ever-Present
• Satan Hates You Passionately
• Satan Desires To Kill You
• Satan's Fallen Angels Gleefully Tempt You To Doubt Jesus Christ
• Satan Desires Your Damnation
• Satan Cannot Force Your Will
• Satan Manipulates Nature, And
• Satan Tempted Jesus To Commit Suicide So Do Not Doubt That He Will Tempt You, Too!

Jesus Christ Was Tempted Just Like We Are And Will Be

But
You Will Not Be Tempted Beyond What You Can Endure!

With Every Temptation That You Shall Surely Receive
The Lord, Your God ... Mighty To Save
Shall Make A Way For You To Escape!

Accept This Truth ...

Satan Cannot Force You To Break Almighty God's Laws
And
He Cannot Ever Force You To Sin!

Jesus Christ Will Not Make You Obey His Laws
But
He, By The Holy Spirit Of Truth's Leading
And
The Good Influence Of Good Angels
By Your Request

And
Your Yielding To Him

Your Will And Your Freedom To Choose
Will Help You To Willingly Obey

For Love

In Love

With Love!

Pay Close Attention ...

We Have Been Led By The World To Believe That 

Life Is A Bed Of Roses
But
We Should All Be Aware That
Rose Bushes Have Thorns
And
Lush Roses Tend To Have Bees Present!

Bees Sting
And
Rose Thorns Are Brutally Sharp
And
The Result Of A Collision Between Your Flesh 

And 

A Thorn 

Is 

Exceedingly Painful!

A Bee's Sting, Likewise

Is 

Amazingly Painful
And
May The God Of Grace Have Multiplied Mercy Upon You
If You Are Allergic To Bee Venom!

Walking Through Life ... Without The Lord Christ
Is 

Like Your Being Unknowingly Allergic To Bee Venom:

Only The Living God
- The Creator Of Us All ... The Great Physician -
Can Save You 

- A Sinner Needing Salvation -

When You Are Attacked By Satan
By Sin
By Self
Aka Bee Venom!

Accept The Word Of The Lord ...

The Lord, Our King

Cannot, Will Not Ever Lie

So Let Us All Deeply Meditate Upon This Word!

Now, Here's Our Challenge

Our Watch-Word

For The Days Ahead 

Until We Meet Again:

KJV Acts 24

14 But this I confess unto thee,

that after the way which they call heresy,

so worship I the God of my fathers,

believing all things which are written

in the law and in the prophets:

15 And have hope toward God,

which they themselves also allow,

that there shall be a resurrection of the dead,

both of the just and unjust.

The Law Of God Says How We Shall Live To God
And
How We Shall Live With Our Brethren!

The Prophets Say Who Shall Come And How

What He Shall Do
And
When He Shall Do It
Where And Why!

We Need To Know Who Is Our God

What He Has Done
Is Doing
And
Will Do For Us
And
For Others!

We Need To Know
Why We Believe What We Believe 

And
Be Able To State Clearly
Why We Have Our Hope In Jesus Christ!

Either We Believe All The Word Of God 

Or We Believe None Of It At All!
There Is No Middle Road!

Brethren,

Please Stand Up For Our Lord Jesus 

If Your Heart's Desire Is To Be Eternally Blessed!

In This Vale Of Tears
This Way Station
On Our Journey To Hill Zion
Jesus Christ Is Our Peace
Our Perfect Peace!

When We Know Jesus
We Know Truth
Experience Love
Live In Light
And
Walk With Hope

And

Be Encouraged

Because 

No Roaring, Raging

Deceitful, Desperate, Dastardly Adversary
Can Defeat You In Your Walk
When You Are Wrapped Up In
And
Walking With
And
Abiding In The Truth!

There Is Power In The Blood!

There Is Power In The Name Of Jesus!

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

GIGO: GOGI

Believe
          Trust
                 Receive
                            Give!

Give And Get Back!

But ...

Before All That
Consider That:

Because Of The Naturalness
The Reality Of Sin
You Suffered From GIGO
Garbage In Garbage Out!

Garbage Constantly Went In
And
Garbage Constantly Came Out

And Then

You Heard About The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest
The Savior Of Mankind
The Leader Of The Blessed
The Giver Of Every Good And Perfect Gift
The One Who Stays The Devil's Hand
From Being Able His Faithful Ones Like Wheat To Sift

And

Recognizing Him
As The Desire Of Your Thirsting Soul
And
Accepting The Call

"Come And Dine!"

And

Realizing That This Was Truly The Master's Voice
You Left Off Playing
And
Sat Down With Him To Eat The Bread Of Life
And
Drink The Water Of Life
Which Were Food And Drink Indeed!

And No Surprise ...

Business As Usual
Could No Longer Be Sustained
And
The Tasty Berry GOGI
- Garbage Out Goodness In -
Became For You The Way Of Life
The Way To Life!

Garbage Really Went Out
And
Goodness Truly Entered

And

One Glad Morning
All Within Your Sphere Of Influence
Heard You Forcefully Say:

Believe
Trust
Receive
Impart!

Believe
Trust
Receive
Give!

I Know Him!

I Have Faith!
I Believe In Him!
I Trust His Word!
I Receive His Blessings!
I Must Share What I Have Received
And
I Know I Shall Receive More From Him
And
I Shall Share More
And
The More I Receive
The More I Shall Give!
This Is The Blessed Way To Live!

What A Wonderful Life
Living In The Light Of Love
Loved By Him
Loving Him
Loving Others!

I Have Had An Epiphany!
I Have Had A Change Of Heart!
I Am A Patient Of The New-Heart Doctor
And
From Sin, Self And Sinning
With His Leading
I Did Depart!

My Will Is Given Over To Him!
His Sovereign Will Marks Out My Way!
His Ways Are Now Mine!
I Choose To Be His Servant
And
I Live As His Child
And
I Am A Student Of His School Of Faith!

Through The Eye Of Faith I See Him!
With Spiritual Ears His Every Word I Hear!
With My Tongue Cleansed
I Tell Of His Great Goodness
His Mercy
His Grace
And
My Feet Are Shod To Deliver
The Good News Gospel
And
In The Fullness Of Time
I Shall ... Face To Face
Behold The Radiant Visage Of
The Eternal God
Holy, Faithful, Forgiving, Healing
Divine!
I Am His And He Is Mine!

Doing Good Takes Effort!
Doing Evil Does Not!
Speaking Truth Takes Effort!
Speaking Lies Does Not!
Walking Right Takes Effort!
Walking Wayward Does Not!
Working Faith Takes Effort!
Working Doubt Does Not!

Sell All, Buy All:
Giver Gets!
Keep All, Lose All:
Sharer's Needs Are Met!

Locusts
Canker Worms
Flood
Disease
Deny The Liar
Take Jesus
Pray With Passion, Please!

Love!
Don't Hate!
Create!
Appreciate!

Do Good
And
Bless
And
Your Sin Daily Confess
And
You Shall Surely Fail Satan's Can't-Fail Test!

Believe Christ!
Trust Truth!
Receive The Gift!
Attest To The Blessing!

By Your Grace, Lord
Your Salvation I'll Never Be Forgetting
Because
Your Love For Me
Has Stayed Satan's Blood-Letting
And
I Have Found My Peace In You
As I Lean On You
As I Rest In You!

Lord,
You Are Truth!
You Are True!
You Are My Hope, My Help
My Joy, My Song
And
Faith First ... Nothing Wavering
I Confess In The Face Of These Witnesses
Solely, Wholly
I Belong To You!

Please Come And Take Me Home!
I Desire To Be With You Forever And Ever!

WALKING DEAD: Repentance!

The Real Walking Dead:

A Born And Known Sinner

Who Refuses To Repent

Of

Known Sin!

Repentance 
Is 
A Dirty Word
Hated By Those Who Refuse
From The Life Of Sin To Change
And
Despised By That Fraud
The One Who Wants To Be Man's God
Who Can Offer Fallen Man Nothing
But 
A Permanent One-Way Bath In The Lake
Burning With Brimstone And Fire
Prepared For Himself!

Repentance 
Is 
A Good Thing
Encouraged By The Lord Of Life
And
Is A Blessing To Those Who Will To Be Made Alive
And
Who Desire To Be Shuck Of The Sin Life
So That They May Be Accepted Into 
The Beloved Family Of The Eternal God
Where They ... At The Appointed Time
Shall No More Be Forced To Endure 
The Existence Of That Known Deceiver, Satan
The Piercing Serpent
The Dragon
Leviathan
Beelzebub The Bold
Who Desires To Decimate The Safe Sheep Fold!
His End Will Not Be Cold!

Repentance 
Is 
For The Blessing
Of Those Who Choose To Believe The Word
Of Those Who Choose To Receive The Father's Forgiveness
Of Those Who Desire Relief From Sin's Burden
Of Those Who Have Tasted Of The Goodness
The Grace
The Mercy Of The Lord
And
Who Desire With All That Is In Them
To Live Forever The One Holy Eternal God!

Repentance Guarantees Forgiveness!

Forgiveness Guarantees Blessing:

Perfect Peace

Soul Healing

And

Everlasting Rest!

Repentance 
Is
For The Humble In Heart
Those Who ... Because Of Sacrificial Love
Desire Never To Depart Again
From Him Who Is Love ... Personified Love
Who Sits On The Great White Throne
In Glorious Heaven Above!

Repentance 
Is 
Doing A 180 Degree Turn
Turning Away From Evil
And 
Turning Toward Good
Walking Away From Damnation
And
Walking Toward Commendation!

Repentance Is A Rebuke

To Those With Like Spirit

As The Ones Who Perished

In The Great Aka Noah's Flood! 

Repentance ... A Will To Live
Repentance ... A Desire Willing Service To Give
Repentance ... An Opportunity - In Gratitude - To Tell The Good News
Repentance ... A Place To Rest From The Destroyers
When One Finally, Gratefully, Realizes That
There Is The Burning Hell To Choose To Refuse
And
The Glorious Heaven
Willingly To Choose!

Repentance 
Is 
The Gift That Gives
And
The Cost That Pays
And
The Result Of The Love That Grows
In The Life That Recognizes
That Knows Its Needs
That Chooses The Lord Of Life
The Prince Of Peace
The Hope Of Glory
In Joyful Wonder To Receive!

Repentance 
Is 
Not Beloved, Craved, Nor Sought
By The Wickedly Brave, Bold, Base
Worldly-Wise, Illuminated 
Self-Sufficient
Proud, Unashamed
Stiff-Necked, Gainsaying, Doubting, Human!

Repentance 
Is  
By The Acknowledged Sinner
Who Is Humble Enough To Recognize
That They Need The Creator
The Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Died An Ignominious Death
To Save Us ... All
Who Are Willing
Upon His Sweet Name Holy
Lovingly To Call!

See Your Need ...

Accept That You Are A Sinner
And
Repent ... Daily
Because
You Sin ... Daily
By Thought
By Word
And
By Deed:
You Shall Be Eternally Blessed!

He Who Accepts Your Heartfelt Confession
Is
Just
And
Your Acknowledged Sin
He Will Willingly, Eagerly, Forgive!

Love Is An Action ...

Love Yourself Enough
And
Hold The Living God In Awe Enough 
To Humbly Accept The Dearly Purchased Gift Of Love

From Him Who Is Everlasting Love 

And

Who Loves You ... Personally

Sacrificially

Infinitely! 

Love The Lord Of Love

And

Live To Live Lovingly

With Everlasting Love

Eternally! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wedded Bliss ... In Christ Jesus!

Today Is The Day That
Clear Thoughts And Receptive Heart
Become Engaged!
The Wedding Will Immediately Follow!

The Journey To Truth Has Been Long

And

The Road To Righteousness Hard! 

They Had Been Running With The Big Dogs

Serious Doubts

Superficial Knowledge 

Clear Contradictions

And

Questions On Scriptural Harmony

Until 

They Met Willing To Try

Searching The Scriptures

And

Hidden Treasure!

They Had Struck Gold

And

Had Found Pearls Of Wisdom

Truth For Today

Courage For The Way

Blessings Innumerable

And

Prayer Is The Way!

They Had Then Received 
The Living Word In Faith

And

No Surprise

It Gave Them Power To Obey

Because

They Desired Christ

And

They Desired To Follow Jesus

Wherever He Would Lead Them:

They Are At The Foot Of The Cross

And

Are Blessed By The Crimson Stream!

Stumbling Blocks Abound ...

The Way Is Not Easy
And

The Detractors Are Not Kind

But

The Blessings Are Immeasurable ... Innumerable 

Because

Their Now-Master 
Is 
The Holy God Divine! 

  

The Testimony ... 

We Were Once Amongst The Unwise

But

We, For Love

With Hope

In Faith

And

Desiring Spiritual Prosperity
Chose ... Choose 

The Life Of Jesus Christ! 

The Lofty, Worldly, Knowledge 

And 

Base Understanding Beloved Of Fallen Man 

Is 

Foolishness To God 

Because 

It Causes Us ... Unwisely

Not To Fear Our Maker

Aka Hold The Almighty In Godly Fear!

The Word Of God, Alone, Is Wise 

And 

That Wisdom Leads The Willing

The Obedient

The Faithful

To Eternal Life In And With The Lord Christ! 

Having Godly Fear ... Awe

Protects Us From Saying 
With The "Understanding" Of The Fool: 

"There Is No God!" 

Brethren, 

We Urge All To Believe Plain Truth! 

We Urge Us All To Be Wise Unto Salvation! 

Be Faithful Until Death

And

Most Assuredly 

You Shall Be Eternally Blessed! 

Remember, Beloved, 

Gainsaying Is For Gulls! 

Gluttony For Punishment Is For Goats! 

Blessings Belong To Believers

And

Loving The Trinkets Of Sin

Is 
Like The Black Bird Benefiting From 
His Stolen Bright Beads And Baubles:

He Can't Eat Them

But

To Let Them Go He Is Loathe! 

Please Pay Attention... 

Doing The Lord's Bidding Always Pays! 

The Palm 

And

The Cedar

Are Metaphors For The Christian Life!

The Palm Survives In The Desert ... Of Sin
By Sending Forth Deep, Deep, Roots
Into The Water Of Life
In The Desert Sand Beneath Him!

The Cedar ... Fragrant
Loves Water
Lives In Rock
Wedged There By Roots Deep
Unmoveable
Unshakeable
Not Uprootable
Despite The Allurements
Around About
Despite The Sounds
The Laughter Of ... The Merry Man
Who Raucously Shouts!

Harpies Howl

And

Devils Deceive
But
These Two Trees
Do Not Congregate With Salvation Thieves
Shallow, Hollow
Shifty, Uncertain!
They Know That This Life
Has The Last Day
Last Show Curtain!

These Two Trees Stand Against The Odds
Because

The Life Of Christ

- Their Life In Christ -
Is 

The Sin-Break

Their Shelter

And
Against Sin 

The Block-Out Curtain:
With Jesus Christ
Eternal Life Is Certain!

Palm Trees Produce Bread And Oil
And
Mark Where In The Desert Is Life!
Cedar Repels Vermin
And
Provides Shelter For All Who Will Believe
And
Follow The Master
Away From Damnation's Disaster!

Brethren, 

Our True Friend Is Jesus!
Our Hope Is In Christ The Lord!

Take The Step Of Trust

On The Walk Of Faith

And

Let Grace Extend The Hand Of Mercy

As You Choose To Live According To The Instructions 

In The Good News Gospel Story! 
For Enduring Faith
You Shall Surely Share In The Master's Glory!

Believe The Word! 

Trust The Sacrifice! 

Bask In The Love! 

Endure All Things! 

Live With Hope

And

Rest In Jesus Christ's Peace

And Soon

We, Working, Watching, Waiting, Faithful

Shall Be At Home With Him

In His Realm

In Eternity! 

Brethren, 

From Sin, Flee
And
Jesus Christ
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
The Comforter
Our True Teacher
Will Succor Thee
And
The Holy Angels
Excelling In Strength
And
Providing Good Influence
Will Always Protect Thee!
Salvation Is Free!

HAPPY SABBATH + Get On The Lost Man Barge!?!

Jesus Christ
Our Only Savior
Lord And Holy God
Plainly Said:

I Come Not To Bring Peace

But A Sword!

The Prophet Daniel
Plainly Said:

The Man Of Sin

- By Peace -

Shall Destroy Many!

The Preserved Word Of Almighty God
Is
The Truth!

The Man Of Sin
Blasphemously Taking Unto Himself
The Prerogatives Of The True And Living God
Is
Universally Coined The Man Of Peace!

How Can Both Of These Co-Exist!?!

By The Way ...

Co-Exist!
Co-Existence 

Is 

Also The Unscriptural, Ecumenical, Charge
Where All "Gods"
- True And False -

Are On "Equal" Footing!

Masterful Manipulator Is Running Amok!
Masterful Manipulator 
Is
A Bait And Switch Shock-Jock!
He Is Fallen Man's Priest 
And 
Fallen Man's Confessor!
He Is Both Pimp And Prostitute!
He Judges No Man
And
Encourages No Human From Sin To Seek To Cut Loose!
Brethren, Beloved
Beware!
It's All A Diabolical Ruse!

Whatever Ails ... He Has A Potion!
Whatever Bothers ... He Has The Solution!
Whatever Irritates ... He Knows How To Satiate!

Pity, Though, That He Refuses To See Or Accept That

Unrepentant Sinners Share

Satan's Known And Just 
Pre-Determined
Prophesied 
Unchangeable Fate! 

Master Manipulator Wants To Be King Of The World!
Master Manipulator Swings On The Tail Of
The Leader Of The Lost Goat Herd
And
He Hears Things
Sees Things And Feels
Things 
That The Man Unconnected To The Fallen Bright Star
Will Never Understand
Will Never Know How To Unseal!

Common Good!

Common Good!

Ecumenical Charge!

All Gods Are One!

All Gods Are One! 

Get On The Lost Man Barge!

Children Of The Father
Listen Unto Me:
When Your Hand Is In The Lion's Mouth
You Do Not Drag It Out!

Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Utter A Heartfelt Prayer
Unto The Lord Our God
The Living Joy Of Us All
And
He Shall Come To Your Rescue
In No Time At All!

Anything That Is For Your Good
Shall Accrue To Our God's Glory
And
Shall Place Into Your Hot Little Hands
An Opportunity To Tell One And Another
Sin-Weary Soul
The Good News Gospel Of Christ Story!

Jesus Christ Saves!

Pass The Word Along!
Don't Keep It To Yourself!
Pass The Word Around!
Let's Praise The Lord Christ In Song!
Pass The Word Along With Holy Faith Strong:

Our Salvation

Has Been Brought Down!

And

Because Of Jesus Christ's Willing, Perfect, Sacrifice
We Shall Be Relieved Of Old Satan
And
His Gainsaying Minions 
Willful ... Wayward
Wittingly Deceived
- Rabidly Unrepentant -

Before Very Long!

Ye Saints

Of 

Almighty God And Christ

Stand Firm

In Jesus' Holy Faith!

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Will Keep You Humble

Walking Wise

Blessed Forever

And

Strong!

The Lord Of Life

Will Take Care Of You!
