Man's Purchased Salvation: The Ploy To Destroy Access

For Safety
For Salvation
For Service
For Soul Satisfaction
For Security
We May Present Our Selves
Before Our Savior
So Do Not Trust The Word Of 

The Sadistic Serpent, Satan
Who Loves To Know That He Is Thought Of
As Some Silly Cartoon Ineffective Devil Elf!

In That Wily Guise
Satan. Has. Power.
To Annoy

To Deceive
To Destroy
To Make Purchased Souls His Doggy Chew-Toy
And
Make Jesus Christ's Free To Man
Soul Salvation
Appear As Something Less Than Real Joy!

Modus Operandi ...

By

P erverting The Gospel
L ying On Holy Truth
O Obfuscating Pertinent Details And
Y anking The Wind Out Of Man's Heading To Zion-Ship's Sails
He Stalls Man's Forward Momentum

In The Hope Of Denying The Opportunity

To Be Made Whole, Be Renewed

And

With Obedient Endurance Until Life's End

To Enjoy The Life That Blesses With Eternal Youth! 

Brethren, 

Don't Study The Devil's Tactics
To Know How To Defeat Him!

Study The Ways Of Perfection
And
You Will Always Have Your Kit On Hand
For Known Devil Detection!

Think Christ Is Life Is Christ To Defeat Death!
       Think Christ Is Peace Is Christ To Defeat War!
              Think Christ Is Truth Is Christ To Defeat Lies!
                     Think Christ Is Light Is Christ To Defeat Darkness!

Hope Dispels Doubt!
Faith Illuminates Grace!
Mercy Displays Freedom!
Truth Strobes Salvation!

Salvation Holds Forgiveness For Sin
Which ... Without Confession And Repentance
Moment By Moment Goes Like A Slum Dog With Mange
Crying, Crying, A-Begging!

Do Not To Despair Cave!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!
Don't See To Believe!
Believe And See
That Our Savior Defeated
Death, Hell, And The Grave
Sin, Self And Satan
To Show Us How Not To Be Slaves
But
To Be Overcomers
Blessed
Beloved Of The King
Desired In The Kingdom Of Grace
Which Shall Be By The Kingdom Of Glory
Very Soon Replaced!

Don't Give Up Your Place!

Do Not Let The Image Of God In You
Be Effaced
By The Father Of Lies
The Murderer Called First
The Cause Of The Curse
The Initiator Of War
The Purveyor Of Hate
The Writer Of Songs Where Truth Is Misplaced
And
Self Is Glorified
Sin Is Sanctified
Satan Is The Savior
And
The True Savior Of Man Is Denigrated
Defied
Denied
And
Suicide ... Self-Murder The Salve
Is
Lavishly Applied As The Healing Balm
To Make All Things Desired "Just So!"
To Make The Life Without Christ
Appealingly Show And Glow
And
The Practicing Of Sin For Satisfaction
To Grow, Grow, Grow!

The Lord Christ Is From Above: He Lifts!
Satan Is The Undertaker: He Grifts
And
All Who Do Not Know This Difference
Will Be As Stiffs
In The Mortuary Of Time
Waiting Unwisely
For The Chime
Declaring That Time
Is
No More
Closing Mercy's Door
And
Disclosing The Wrath Of Justice
Served Cold
To Burn Hot
With Fire Unquenchable
Because
No Hand Shall Put It Out!

All Within The Flames
Shall Be Consumed
Becoming Dust Under The Feet Of
The Saints Of God And Christ
Who Trusted, Believed
Honored, Worshipped
Obeyed 

And

Endured All
To See The Face Of Him
Who Is Every Willing, Believer's Perfect Joy
And

Perfect Peace!

They Did Not Fall For The Ploy Of
The Salvation Thief In Chief!

Need Relief!?!

The Great Physician
Is
Jesus Christ The Righteousness
Who Always, Always, Blesses
Who Always, Always, Saves!

Truth Is Pertinent:
I Cannot Count The Ways!

Sin + PRAYER: Lord, I Need A New Life!

Ponzi Scheme!
Pyramid Scam!
Sin Is A Rolling Snowball ... Unhindered
That Will Land All Caught Up In It In Hell!

Do Not In Sin Dwell!

You'd Better Recognize ...

You Have Met Him!
You're Very Likely Him!

Faulty Character, Esq.
"Man" About Town
Pushy, Arrogant
Brash, Bold
Willing Sinner On Good Times Sold
Alienated
From The Household Of The Blessed
Because
He Can't Be Bothered
Known Soul-Damning Sin
To Repent And Confess!

Pride Is Stuck In His Craw!
Self-Serving 

Is 

A Bone Caught In His Jaw

And
Envy, Lust, Greed, Gainsaying
Doubt, Disbelief
Worldly Entanglements
Are Attached To Him Like 

Baby Lambs Attached To Dear Mama's Engorged Teats!

Self-Aggrandizement 

Self-Satisfaction

Self-Exaltation

Is 

The Goal!

It Wasn't Always That Way!

Once Upon A Time ... Today

Self Was An Occasional Holiday Rental
That Turned Into A Time-Share
That Decided That The Little
The Incremental Bit Was Insufficient:

Self Wanted All-Day Own-Way Always!

Heads-Up, Mate ...

There Was ... Actually Is

One Little Oversight:

Smart Pay
Sure Pay
Pay To Play
Is 

The Only Way

And
It Gets In The Way Of Being 

Perpetually Happy And Gay!

Today For Me!
Tomorrow For You!
Indulging Self Is A Sin Cultivating Sorrow
That Decimates Everyone
And
That Includes Me And You, Too!

Unchecked Sin!
Unchecked Sorrow!
Sinful Self Unchecked
Results In Unchecked Horrors!

What Do You Know ...

Doubt Started Doing The Dog!
Gainsaying Started Pontificating!
Pride Started Leaking Pus
And
Leviathan Started Parading His Pride Bus!

Regrets!

We All Have A Few ...

What Shall I Do!
To Whom Shall I Turn!?!
I Can't Afford This Bill! 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

I Wish This Selfish House

Of Wax-Works Would Burn!

I Need A New Life! 

This One Does Not Profit!

The One Who Encouraged My Investment

In His House

Is The Very One

Who, Over Me, Is Now Lording It

Because I Finally See The Guiding Light ... Of Life

And

I Feel My Need Of Mankind's, My, Savior! 

I Desire The Fresh Start 

The New Man

The Heart Of Flesh

And I Desire, Finally

To Get Home To The Promised Land!

Lord,

Help Me!

Save Me!

You Are My Only Hope

And

In Faith ... At Last

Nothing Wavering

It Is You To And For Your Sure Salvation

That I Willingly From Known-Sin Turn!

Heartfelt Prayer Changes Things ...

If You Have Not Yet Been So Informed
Please Be Advised That In Almighty God's Heaven
All Heartfelt Prayers Are Heard
And
Always Answered!

Answers Are 

Yes!

No! 

Wait!
Or 

Welcome To The Pain! Aka 

My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee!

All Answers Stand Upon The Pillar:

What Is For Your Good 

Is For Almighty God's Glory! 

There Are No Exceptions! 

Quit Your Blubbering ...

Emotionalism Does Not Impact The Lord: 

Faith, Obedience And Endurance Do!

You Have The Say ...

Your Will Is Not Taken From You! 

All To Jesus ...

Since You Are A Committed-To-Christ Follower

Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord
Will Cause You Before Him

- Who Is Your Shepherd -
Willingly To Lay Your Will Down
And
That Is When The Sin-Life Will Change
And
Against Your Life And Living
Satan Will Become Deranged!

Depend On It!

Sin 

Is 

Like Having Salt-Water Taffy, Strongman Toffee
Bubble Yum, Fruit Gushers, Jawbreakers 

And

A Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper
Rolled Into One "Treat"

Which ... After A "Nice" Taste
- Unless You're A Glutton For Punishment -
You Will Not Put On Taste: Repeat!

Wha' Sweeten Goat Mout' ...!

Brethren Be Wise!

Express ...

Repentance To Almighty God
And
Faith In Christ Jesus
And
Trust The Grace Provided
And
Enjoy The Promised Rewards

- In The Fullness Of Time -

That Are Most Assuredly

Not Satan's Ghoulish, Grandiose, Frauds!

Sin Costs!

Sin Cannot Pay

Not For A Second

A Minute

An Hour

A Day

Nor A Year

No Matter What Lying Satan Says!

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

Only Trust The Living Word

Of 

The Holy God!

COVETOUSNESS: Guard Your Heart!

Eye Onde Prize

Covetousness

Greed

And

Malicious Intent!

The Big Guns!

The Warriors Who For A Nickel

Are Willing To Have Their Desires Bent!

Sorry To Tell You

But

I Believe It Is In Your Best Interest To Know

That When Your Eyes Are Looking Down

And

Around

Your Heart For Things Abundant

Will Always, Always, Grow 
In The Strange Manner Called Profound!

It Always Starts In The Heart:

Eye Onde Prize Is The Upstart!

When He Is In Charge

You May Be Sure That Greed ... For Ungodly Gain

Will Always Follow

And

If Greed ... For Ungodly Gain ... Is Let Loose

You Can Rest Assured That

Monsieur Le Covetousness

He Who Likes To Ooh, La La

Is

Going To Go To Bat

To Get That Which He has No Right To Want 
To Place In His Cavernous Back-Pack!

Wanting Is Good ... Within The Proper Channels!

Coveting Good Things Is Good

For That Is How We Climb Up Higher

But

When Your Wanting Steps Outside The Boundaries Marked

And

You Invite That Heathen ... Malicious Intent

To Do A Do In The Dark

You Have Overstepped The Mark

And

You Are In Danger Of Getting Upon Your Character

The Mark Of The Devil

Him Who Did And Does His Dirty Deeds

Under Cover Of Dark ... ness!

To This Day

He Has Not Yet His Perfidy Confessed

And

He Believes That All His Machinations

Are Truly A Stellar Success!

People,

The Self-Delusion Is Real!

Malicious Intent Is A Notorious Gully-Boar

Who Believes With All His Being That

His Forays With Speed Into Greed

Are His By Right

Because

Of The Little Thing Called I-Need
Aka I-Want!

You Own It: He Wants It!

You Won't Surrender It: He Will Take It Away!

He Gives You A Choice:

Give Me ... Willingly

Or I Will Take it Forcefully

Or

If It Is Your Desire To Aggressively Protest

He Is Willing To Snuff Out Your Life

Sacrosanct In The Eyes Of The Lord

But 

A Thing Of Nought

In The Eyes Of His Boss-Man
Satan, The God-Fraud!

Ungodly Actions Have Consequences! 

Need An Example!?!

Prophet Balaam Wanted To Curse Israel 
To Get Himself King Balak's Coins!
The Lord God Almighty Told The Greedy Prophet "No!"
Ungodly Covetousness Told The Prophet "Get!" 
Ungodly Covetousness Won
And Anon

Balaam Ended Up Showing Balak

How To Make Israel Sin 

And

To Incur The Wrath Of The Living God!

Thousands In Israel Died

And

As To Be Expected

Greedy, Covetousness-Laden, Balaam 
Also Paid With His Life:

By His Receipt Of The King's Coins

His Covetous Life Was Not Extended!
Sin Really Makes Man Blind!

King Ahab Was A Petulant Child When Crossed!

He Wanted Naboth's Vineyard

And

The "No!" Answer Made His Cross!

He Went Off His Food!

He Sulked Like A Toddler

And

His Wife Being A Heathen

Thought Nothing Of Having An Innocent Man Murdered!

Ahab Got Naboth's Vineyard By Fraud
And
Dogs Licked Up King Ahab's Blood

And

Dogs Ate Queen Jezebel, His Viciously Cruel Wife!
Covetousness Is A Butcher Knife! 

King David Knew Better

But

His Eyes Made Him Believe That

The More Beautiful Bathsheba Was Much Better For Him

And

Covetousness Turned To Adultery
And

Adultery Turned To The Murder Of A Best Friend
And

Death Was Visited Upon The Innocent Child
His Ill-Conceived Seed! 

The Harvest Of Known Sin

And

Blood Never Left King David's Household

For As Long As He Did Live!

He Loved The Lord!

He Repented Of His Sin!

He Was Forgiven Of His Sin

But

That Did Not Mean That

The Grapes Of Wrath That He Had Planted

Were Not Going To Be Harvested!

Four Of His Sons Died ... Three Cruelly:

Bathsheba's First Born Son ... Unnamed:
The Lord Took Him! 

Amnon ... Covetousness, Lust, Greed, Gone Wild:
Raped His Sister

And His Brother, Absalom, Had Him Murdered! 

Absalom ... Who Coveted King David's Throne:

Slept With His Father's Concubines

Started Civil War

And Was Executed By General Joab

And

Adonijah ... Who Coveted King Solomon's Throne ... Twice

Thought To Get The Throne ... The Second Time

By Asking His Brother For His Father's Widow
His Body-Warmer, Virgin-Wife, Abishag!

King Solomon Had Him Executed!
Deceit's Profits Are A Demonic Device!

Judas Iscariot Coveted Power

And

Actually Thought He Could Circumvent

The Sovereign Will Of The Eternal Holy God!

He Made A Pact With Death

Made A Deal With Priestly Powers

Sold Gold To Buy Silver

And

Spilt His Guts Over A Roman Road
For All Of His Troubles!

Judas Received What He Would Never Spend

And

He Shall Never Ascend The Heights Of Him

Whom He Believed He Could Manipulate

And

Who For 30 Silver Pieces

To Wicked Men He Sold!

Sin Is Called Sin For A Reason!

Sin Only Profits For A Season!

The Reasons For The Season

Is Called By Many ... Legion

But

That Legion Is The Legion Of Doom

Which Shall Never Reign

But

Is Eternally Condemned

And

Consumed!

Covetousness Starts In The Heart!

Unchecked

Covetousness Will Never Depart

Until It Has Sliced, Diced And Spliced

And

Delivered Up Its Host

Unto The Damned One

Who Shall Soon Be As The Dust Of
Burnt, Burnt, Toast!

Covetousness Does Not Profit

And

None Who Indulge In This Dastardly Disease

Shall Ever Get To Sit In Heaven

Or

Bow Before The King Of Love

In Perfect Peace!

Don't Give In To This Known Gross Sin, Please!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, I Have Regret For Sin And I Am Glad!

Father,
I Have Regret!
I Am Sincerely Sorry
For All The Times That I Have Sinned
Against Your Holy Name
Because I Did Not Know You Well Enough
To Love You Completely
To Trust You Solely
Through All The Changing Scenes Of My Life!

I Repent Of The Past 

Because It Marked Me As One
Who Crucified My Jesus
Time And Again!

Yes, It Caused Me Unnecessary Grief
And I Was Cocooned In Sorrow
And I Held Shame
But Now That I Know Better
I Beseech You, Please
Help Me To Guard My Heart
To Protect My Eyes
My Ears
And To Refuse To Allow Anyone
Anything
Any Possession
Any Perceived Profit
To Cause Me To Body-Check Faith
So That I May Refuse To Become A Living 

Ultimately Rejected 

Then Condemned

And Cast about Disgrace!

I Have Seen The Light!

Things Pass!
People Pass!
Possessions Don't Last
But The Word Of God
My Jesus The Lord
He, Alone, Always Lasts!

Jesus Christ Is Forever
And I Plead, Dear Father
With All That Is Me
Please Help Me To Walk Softly Before You
And To Serve You Wholeheartedly!

Jesus Christ Is My Joy!
Please Help Me To Ever Praise Him With Glad Song
And Help Me To Live Up To My Blessing
That Shows The World
The Holy God To Whom I Belong!

I Understand At Last, Dear Father
The Word That Plainly Says That

All Things Work For Good
To Them That Love God:

I Love You, Lord
And I Desire To Love You More Each Day
And To Be Consumed In That Love
So That Neither Time, Terror, Trial, Temptation
Nor Torment Can, From Your Love, Tear Me Away!

Father, 

Prophecy Is Daily Being Fulfilled!
Men's Hearts Are Growing More And More Cold!
Brotherly Love Is A Commodity!
Love For God Is An Oddity
And Romantic Love Is Marked Transactionally!

Children Are Bartered, Bought And Sold
And Satan And His Legions
Are Indulging Machinations
More Cruel, More Bold
And Myriads Of Blood-Bought Souls
Are Languishing Outside The Safe Fold!

Please Help Them, Lord!

Oh, Father
I Am Available For Service
To Serve And Bless My Fellow Man 

For Love Of My Master, The Lord Christ

And In His Holy Name
And I Offer Up My Will To Your Leading
To Point Others To Sure Salvation
So That They, Too
From Willful Sinning
May Wisely Depart!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Bless You And I Thank You
For Not Giving Up On Me
And I Pledge, By Your Grace
To Do And To Go Willingly
Wherever You May Lead Me, Gladly!

Father,

I Do Not Know What Tomorrow Holds
But I Know You Who Holds Tomorrow
And Pray That That Knowledge 

Will Always Be Enough ... Sufficient For Me
So That I May Enduringly Face Life Each Day
Never Borrowing Unarrived Sorrow!

I Take You At Your Holy Word:

Confess My Known Sin Repent
And You, Being Faithful And Just
Will Forgive Me And Cleanse

From All Unrighteousness! 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised! 

The Lord Is My Shepherd
I Shall Not Want! 

Blessed Is The Man That
Walks Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly! 

Your Peace You Give Unto Me!

I Believe That You Are God Almighty ... To Save
And That You Reward All Who Diligently Seek You!

You Say Ask In Faith ... Nothing Wavering!

You, Father
Daily Give Me The Faith To Live By
So I Am Using Your Gift To Me
To Make My Request To You:

Help Me
And Help My Brethren
By Blood, By Faith, By Affection

Those Already In The Faith

Those Coming To Faith

Those Looking For Faith
To Stand Firm In Jesus Christ's Holy Faith
Enduring All Things For Love Of Our Lord
To Watch
To Wait
To Work
To Be Wise Unto Salvation
While It Is Still Day! 

The Night Is Rapidly Approaching
When The Workers Shall Rest
When Men Will Have Made Irrevocable Decisions
When From The Groaning Earth
Grace, Mercy, Truth And Peace
Will Desert

So, Please Remember Us Who Pray!
Please Remember Us Who Look For
The Lord Christ's Coming Great Day
And Keep Us In Your Holy Care!
We Need You, Lord!

Please Accept My Offering Of Prayer
And Grant Unto Me These Few Petitions
For I Ask All In The Name Of Jesus Christ

Your Only Begotten Son

Who, Alone

Man's Hungry Soul Satisfies

And Who Will Never A Seeking Soul

Ever, Ever, Deny!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + THE LITTLE TIME OF TROUBLE: The Anchor For The Believer's Soul!

In The Life Of Man
The Anticipation Of Trouble
Is 
Often Worse Than The Experience
But
In The Coming Little Time Of Jacob's Trouble
The Experience 
Is 
Worse Than Anything A Man Would Have Marked As 
His Thing-Most-To-Be-Avoided-At-All-Costs Goal!

Let Us Look At The Grudging Repentance
- Displaying Sorrow For Their Personal Pain
But Not Their Sorrow For Doing Wrong -
Of Esau, Prophet Balaam
King Saul And Disciple Judas Iscariot
And
Then Let Us Look At The Abject Sorrow 
For Their Known Sin As Displayed 
In The Genuinely, Heartfelt, Repentance Of 
Jacob-Israel And King David!
Therein In These Examples
Is Our Real Story Told!

All Who Will Stand Enduringly Faithful
In The Little Time Of Trouble
Will Have Made A Practice Of Leaning On
Believing In
And
Trusting In The Living God
And
Will Have Confessed All Their Known Sin
And
Repented
By Turning Away From Doing Sin
Acknowledging
The Filthiness Of Sin
Almighty God's Abhorrence For Sin

And
Our Father's Great Willingness 
To Forgive Repented-Of Known Sin! 

Beloved, Be Warned ...

We Cannot Fight The Adversary ... Our Adversary
- Who Has Nothing To Lose -
In Our Own Strength!

Remember,
The Word Plainly Says:

Satan Has But A Short Time
And Is As A Roaring Lion
Walking About ... Seeking
Whom He May Devour!

Time To Get Real ...

We Need The Savior
The Lover Of Our Souls
The Redeemer Of The Saints
The King Of Glory
Our Creator
And
Our One True Friend
To Render Assistance, Comfort, Aid
And
Keep Us In Hope
And
To Provide Help!

We Are Blessed ...

Our Hope In Christ Jesus
Is
Not A Burnable Flaxen Cord
But
Is A Solid Red Rope
Made Of Innocent Blood
Alive
Able
From The Life Of Fallen Man
Sin ... Cold
Hotly To Drive!

Let's Bless The Giver Of All Good
All Perfect Gifts
And
Strive Valiantly
In The Faith Of Belief
To Arrive Safely In Hill Zion
When Ends The Mortal Strife!

Jesus Christ ... For Us Believers

Is

Eternal Life:

Hold On To This Blessed Hope!
