PRAYER: The Can't-Fail Weight-Loss Diet!

Before You Come Into The Presence

The Presence Of The Great And Holy God

Let Your Light Shine ... Share Your Faith

Break The Bread Of Life ... Read The Living Word

And

Burn The Incense ... Pray!

To Approach Unto The Throne Of The Eternal God 

Is 

A Privilege Which We Would Do Well To Exercise 

And 

In Abundance 

Because 

There Is Nothing That We Can 
That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Praying Raises Us Up To The Lord! 
Praying In Humility Shows Honor! 
Praying Without Ceasing Declares Our Dependency

And

Praying In Faith Shows Trust! 

Fact ... 

Believing In The God Who Answers Prayer
Is 

A Necessity! 

Action ... 

Putting Our Privilege With Our Necessity 

And 

Going To The Throne Of Grace ... Boldly 

For Whatever We Need

Against Temptation

To Say Thanks

Just To Talk

And 

Just Be With The Lord 

Marks Us As A People Wise ... Unto Salvation! 

We Are Invited To Pray
Soooo,
No Matter What Is Happening
No Matter Where You Are Going
No Matter What Is Bothering You
When Something Is Pleasing You
Grieving You
Causing You Sorrow, Pain, Shame, Remorse
Get At It
And
Pray
And
Pray And Pray ... And Pray Some More! 
Praying Is A Sure Weight Loss Diet!

Think About It ...

We Have A Personal Invitation From The Lord Of Life
And 

We Cannot Wear Out Our Welcome 
Because 

He Desires To Hear From Us Individually
Personally
Privately
Honestly
Directly

And 

Desires To Bless Us Immeasurably!

Beloved, 

Dare To Be Brave! 

Dare To Faithfully Believe

No Matter What You See, Hear Or Feel!

Be Enduringly Prayerful 

Trusting
And
Hopeful

Because

Your Offered Up Petitions
- Unselfish
Not Wasted On Harmful Lusts -

Are In Accordance With 
The Clearly Stated Will Of Almighty God!

Even If A Desire 
Is 
Not Immediately Received

You Shall Surely Be Ever Blessed!

The Lord Of Life Cannot ... Will Not
His Beloved People Deceive! 

All Faithful, Humble, Prayers Are Answered
Even If The Answer 
Is
Yes!
No!
Wait!
Or ... Gasp
Welcome To "The Pain!"

Consider The Caterpillar ...

Before A Creeping, Crawling, Fat, Caterpillar 
Becomes An Aerodynamic, Beautiful, Butterfly
He Is Sealed Into A Cocoon
Turns Into A Soup
And
Reemerges As On The Wing
To Soar To Lofty Heights
To See And Experience Things That Prior
Would Have Been Beyond His Ken
His Understanding
His Ability To Reach For
To Grasp
To Hold!

The Lord Said Let There Be ...

Caterpillars Have Faith In Their Maker
Accept The Call To Transformation
And
Trust The Process 
Because
They Know That Their Maker Can Perform
Keep, Save And Seal
And
Understand That What The Lord Promises To Do
For Them ... Personally
Will Be Revealed 
In The Fullness Of Their Lord's Time!
Caterpillars Do Not Doubt!

The Lord Said
Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image ...

The Lord Does Wonderful Things 
For Those Not Made In His Image
So Be Assured ... Be Comforted In The Fact That 
He Will Do Exponentially More Wonderful Things
For Us Who Are Made In His Own Image!

Decide To Have ... To Exercise Daily Faith
And
Pray ... Nothing Wavering 
And 
Know That Our Received Answer 
Will Always Be For Our Best Good
And
For His Great Glory!

Almighty God's Stated Character 
Is 
Made Up Of Mercy And Goodness 
And 
Grace! 
Meditate On These Things!
Blessings Abundant Await!

SALVATION: Playing Chess With Commandments And Traditions

... Tradition!

Tradition!?!

Tradition!

So What About Almighty God's 
Engraved-In-Stone-By-His-Own-Finger Commandments!?!

I Quote:

"Church Tradition Supercedes Almighty God's Commandments!"

You Actually Dare To Say That With A Straight Face!?!

Sure! It's The Truth!

Have You Completely Lost Your Mind!?!

Not In The Least!

I'm Just Calling It As I Currently, Plainly, See It!

Okay! Okay!

I'm Going To Bite!

Explain That ... With Little Words, If You Please!

I Am Going To Make Sure It's Simple!

I'm Going To Make It Plain!

I'm Not Going To Make It Poetic

Because

Sarcastic Is More Up My Vein!

Jesus Christ Powerfully Crushed Satan's Head

When He Died

And

Got Back Up From The Grave

So Satan "Won" The Battle

And

The War

And

The "Power" Went Straight To His Head!

Ah, Um, Let Me State The Obvious:
A Dead Head Has Neither Power Nor Life!

Keep Walking With Me

And 
We'll Both Reach The Peaceful Shore!

Jesus Christ Returned To Heaven As The Victor

So Satan ... The Adversary

The Loser

The Condemned

The Eternally Damned

In A Last-Ditch Effort

To Be In "The Winning Class"

Decided That His Loss Is A Victory

That He Is King

That He Is Savior

That He Is Boss Of Everything

And

Boldly Started His Own Competing Church

"Created Traditions"

And
Traded Light For Dark

Sweet For Sour

Good For Evil

Truth For Lies

Saints For Sinners

And

"Fixed" The Commandments

- Not The Suggestions - 

The Immutable Commandments Of The Eternal

Holy, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent
Faithful, Giving

Blessing, Forgiving, Merciful God Of Grace

To Reflect His Dead-Conscience, Irredeemable, Ways! 

Since He Can No Longer Touch Jesus Christ The Lord

He Decided To Trample On His Holy Name

The Truth

And

Besmirch His Divine Character

To Destroy His People! 

If Jesus' People Are Destroyed 
For Lack Of Jesus' Living Knowledge

Then Our Jesus Will Have No Reason To Come Back To Earth

And

Checkmate: Satan Is King!

Satan ... The Rabid Sinner
The Malevolent Spirit
The Deity Of The Damned

The Known Fraud

Is 
"The" God! 

First Order Of Business ...

He Has Big Able Plans:

Change, Change, Change! 

Rearrange! 

Elevate Self! 
Pontificate!

"Be" The Divine! 
Make People Believe That He Is Caring And Kind!

Satan Always Has Next Steps ...

Work On The Immutable!
Work On The Infallible!

The Immutable Becomes Fallible

And

The Infallible Becomes Mutable!

The Holy Becomes Profane!

The Profane Brings No Shame!

The Known Innocent Become The Now Guilty!

The Real Guilty Becomes The Deceitful Judge!

The Honest Judge Becomes The Able Sinner

And

The Publicized Sinner Is The Holy God Above! 

Diabolic ... And Effective!

Hold Your Horses!
He's Not Done Yet!

Satan Injects Man Into The Holy!

He Separates Sin From Self!

He Denies The Lord Christ His Divinity!

He Elevates Personal Proclivity
And
Stresses To All:

"Trust Me Instead Of God Almighty!"

And

Issues Commands To All That 
For Soul Salvation

To Just Pay The Standard User Fee! 

Jesus Christ Already Paid The Price For Us!

Indeed!
Furthermore, Satan Insists That 
All Do Whatever They Personally Like

Because 

Sin, Self And Satan

Make A Three-Wheel Bike

Perfectly Balanced

Sure Never To Tilt ...! 

... Until Confronted By The Rock Of Ages

Whose Blood For Sinners' Souls

On Mount Calvary Was Spilt ...! 

... Which Presents As The Insurmountable Problem

For Satan Of The Dead Head! 

He Has A Fix For That, Too
And
Here's The Not-For-Bedtime Story!

Enter The Dragon ... 

There Was Shock And Consternation
All Over The Land!

Everybody Was Stunned Out Of Their Gourd
Becausen Lambie Had Upped And Changed
His Venerable Name To ... To ...!

... Ooh! I Can't Say It! 
It's Just Too Terrible ...!

Oh, For Crying Out Loud! 
Enough With The Theatrics!

I'm Sorry ...!
... It's Just That That Was Earth Shaking News!

That's For Sure! 
It Rocked My World!

I Still Can't Believe It!

Wha' 'appen?!

Lambie Done Gone Over To The Dark Side!!

Eh, Eh?! Wha' 'e Gone En Do?!

Lambie In Beast Mode!

Lambie Done Gone And Changed His Name! 
He Is Now Officially Called Lambie DeDragon!

He Is Even Drinking Blood Wine

Out Of Babylon's Golden Flagon!

Lord, Help Us! 

First It Was The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing!

Now It's The Lamb Gone Rogue!
The Deception Is Real!

May The Lord Of Love Help Us! 

You Done Know That This Thing Is Now In Vogue! 

The Lord In Zion Reigneth
Soooo ...

Thank Jesus Christ

For The Gift Of Unfailing Good News!

Truth Cannot Die
And
The Lord God Almighty
- Mighty To Save -
Will Always Have His 7,000 Faithful
His Perfected Saints
His Remnant People In The Land
Who Will Never, Ever, Bow The Knee
- Following The Deceived Multitudes -
To Do Known Evil In The Sight Of The Holy God!

Being Faithful
We Know That We Have New Life In Christ!

Look At The Living, Preserved, Holy Word:

When We ... By Faith
Willingly Choose To Accept Jesus Christ As Savior And Lord
And
His Holy Word As Immutable And Infallible

And 

Are Eventually Converted To His Way

We Will Not See Keeping His Laws As Burdensome
- As The Liar States -
Or As A Restraint Over Our "Authentic" Behavior 
Nor Will We Ever Look At Sin Again As No Big Deal! 

Because Of Christ's Sacrifice Of Love For Us 

And 

Our Grateful Love For Him

Our Words, Thoughts, Actions

And

Inclinations 

Are Changed
Because
We ... Being Transformed Into His Likeness

Have No Wish To Crucify Him Again!

AMEN!!!

As Per The Promise
We Have New Hearts

New Sight, New Ears

New Love

New Hope ... New Life
And

Love For Our Lord Christ 
Keeps Us On The Path To Eternal Life!

That Must Give Olde Satan Gripe! 

Brethren,

Deception Is Everywhere
In Everything
And
In People Who We Would Like To Believe
We Can Trust To Have Our Best Interests At Heart!

Trust Ye In The Lord Alone!

The Cross Is Our Beacon: Look Up And Live! 

Indeed!

Blessings Innumerable Await Us

So Let's Not Let Known Fables

And

Prophesied Lost Causes Take Us In! 

Satan Can't Change The Laws Of Almighty God

And

Satan Can Never Get Back To Where We Are Headed! 

By Almighty God's Great Grace
Let's Do Away With Decimating Doubt And Disbelief

And

Discard The Diatribe Of The Salvation Thief! 

Our Jesus Saves ... Utterly

So Let's Put Our Faith Up Front

And

With Faithful Endurance
Press On ... On The Upward Way

So That That Deceiver Will Have

Our Confessed, Repented Of

And

Forgiven Sins

On His Account To Be Scape-Goat Paid! 

Soon, Soon!

Satan Is Going To Have Himself A Fiery Bath
In A Real Hot Fire And Brimstone Grave!

Players Get Paid!

The Word Of Almighty God Speaks Life!

There Is No One Who Reads
Who Hears The Word Of God 
That Can Honestly Say That 
They Are Unaffected By It! 
We Either Love The Word Or Hate It! 

Whether We Accept The Living Word
Or Reject The Saving Word Of Truth
Good In All Ages And Stages Of Human Life
All Flesh ... Living Or Dead
Will Be Judged 
By The Holy Word Which Speaks Life 
And 
Testifies Of The Character
The Faithfulness
The Holiness
The Creative Power
And
The Sacrificial Love Of Christ Jesus! 

We Have Free Will
And
We Have Free Choice
So Let's Choose ... For Love
And
With Certain Hope
To Use The Living Word 
To Grow In Grace Today!

Heaven Awaits The Faithful
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon!
We Are Nearing Home!

Brethren,

Where There Is Life There Is Hope
And
Because I Have Life
I Have Every Reason To Hope
In The Lord Jesus Christ
My Savior, My King
The Lord Of My Life
The Reason That I Can Sing:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I, My Cross Have Taken!

Please Be With Me So That I, By Sin

For Self

Be Not Shaken By Conflict

Stirred By Denial

Overwhelmed By Trial

Nor Overcome By Belial!

I Love You, My Master

My Creator, My Friend

My Hope, Help, Salvation

My God Eternal

Whose Love Knows No End!

I Beseech You, My Father

Please Help Me To You To Ever Draw Near

By Reading The Living Word

And Getting Close To You In Humble Prayer!

Thank You For The Myriad Gifts Of Love

Multitudes About Which I Know Nothing!

Thank You For Thinking Of Me

And Giving Me A Heart That Beats 

In Joyous Anticipation

Of One Blessed Day

Face To Face Seeing Thee!

I Am Thanking You!

I Am Blessing You!

I Am Giving Grateful Praise

And I, By Grace, Am Telling The Good News

That You Are Soon Coming:

I Look Forward, In Your Presence

To Taking My Rightful Place

A Blessed Gift From You

Whose Heart Is True!

I Am Striving!

I Am Walking!

I Am Working!

I Am Watching!

I Desire In You To Be Wise!

Please Help Me, Savior Beloved

To Not Ever Fall For Satan's Obvious Lies!

Thank You, Father

For Hearing

And Answering The Prayer Of Faith

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN!

BLIND AND ASLEEP: The Laodicean Church + Prayer: We Have Done Evil, Lord!

We Are Living In The Laodicean Aka The Final Church Age! 

Laodicea Means The Judging Of The People! 

The Lord Calls Us Wretched, Miserable, Poor
Blind
And 
Naked 
And 

Asks Us To Buy Eye-Salve From Him 
So That We May See! 

We Are Also Urged To Awaken From Sleep! 

Blind And Asleep 
Are The Only Two Ways By Which We Cannot See! 

The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect

It Enlightens The Mind

And

It Makes Simple People Wise ... Unto Salvation! 

Light Allows Us To See

And

Acquiring The Wisdom

And 

Character Of Christ 

Leads Us To Eternal Life! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Without The Law 
We Would Not Know What Is Sin 

Nor Would We Know 

Who Is Almighty God! 

The Law Of God Is A  Blessing To Us! 

Let Us Choose To Obey It Always
 So That We May ... At The Time Appointed

Eternally Live! 

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

I Come In Faith!

I Pray For Each And Every One Of Us This Day

And Ask You, Dear Father

In Your Safe Fold To Help Us To Stay!

Without Your Leading, Lord

We Shall Surely Go Astray 

And

Deny Ourselves That Wonderful Blessing That Says

For Our Own Sin

We Shall Not Pay!

We Are Of The Family Of Man

And

The Son Of Man

Your Beloved Son

Is

The Living God Before Whom We Shall Surely Stand

For

He Is Our Savior, Redeemer, Friend

Judge And King! 

We Need Him, Father!

We Are Jesus Christ's Property Twice

By Creation

And

By Redemption

And

We Must Give To Him

An Accounting

Whether We Live By His Law

Or Are Boldly Always Flouting It!

Help Us To Humble Ourselves, Father

For We Desire To See Him In Peace!

We Have Done Evil, Lord!

We Are Doing Much Evil In Your Sight

But

You Had And Have Pity On Us

And

You Provide Eye-Salve To Cleanse 

To Heal Our Eyes

And

To Give Us Spiritual, Seeing, Eye-Sight!

Please Forgive Us Our Trespasses!

We Acknowledge Our Sin

And

We Confess And Sincerely Repent!

Help Us To Do That Which Is Right

In Your Holy Sight

That Which Blesses Us

And

Most Assuredly

That Which Will Always Please Your Heart!

We Need A Blessing, Lord!

Father, 

On Our Own

We Are Weak

Physically Weak And Weak-Willed

And

We Always Fall Back On Our Carnal Nature:

Pity Us And Help Us In You To Rest For Strength

And

To Rest In You To Let Your Perfect Peace 

Our Wayward, Raging, Hearts Still!

Father, 

We Are In A Wretched Estate

Poor, Lost, Lonely

Miserable, Alone

Covered In Sin

Spiritually Naked, Afraid

Sorrowing, Dying

In Need! 

We See Our Need, Father! 

We Need Our Savior, King Jesus

Who, Alone, Is Our Hope

Our Help

Our Sure Salvation! 

Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

Help Us To Fix Our Minds On You! 

Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

Help Us To You To Be True! 

Father, 

Thank You For Showing Us

What Holy Love Is

What Loving Sacrifice Feels Like

And

For Showing Us Your Heart

And

For Giving Us Your Self

In The Person Your Dear Son

Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

We Can Never Repay You, Father

But

With Thankful, Grateful, Hearts

We Give Unto You

Our Purchased Selves

Our Personal Will

And

Make It Public

- A Badge Of Honor -

That Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is Our Portion

And

Our Sole Choice Now

While Life Be Spared

And

By Your Grace

Our Everlasting Estate! 

Father,

Help Us To Be Faithful

Living With Certain Hope

Trusting You With Our Whole Heart

- Nothing Wavering -

Denying Carnal Eyesight

And

Trendy Emotionalism

And

Choosing Ever And Always

To Stand On The "Thus Saith The Lord God!" 

Father, 

Pity Us Who Pray! 

Have Mercy On Us Who Look Longingly

For The Great Day

And

Bless Us Who Walk Wisely

On The Strait And Narrow Way! 

Please Help Us To Share Our Faith

With Loving Kindness

And

Christ-Like Humility

For We, Accepting The Call

Choose To Be Ambassadors For Christ

And

Have A Burden Upon Our Hearts

For Our Brethren The World Around! 

We Praise You, Lord! 

We Glorify Your Holy Name, Father! 

We Find Our Rest In You

And

We Plead For Your Continued Blessings

Upon Our Lives 

As We Live And Work To Share The Good News! 

Please Help Us To Do The Good We Can

While We Can

Where We Can

And For Whomever We Can! 

Lord, We Ask In Faith

And Beseech You To Please Grant Unto

The Will And The Strength

To Strive For The Purchased Victory Over Sin 

So That We May Be Saved At The Last Trumpet! 

Thank You For Hearing

And

Thank You For Answering The Prayer Of Faith

For We Ask All In The Blessed Name Of The Holy Jesus! 

We Love You, Lord! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!
