CPA Versus CPR

Close Personal Association 

Faces Off Against

Close Personal Relationship

And

This Is No More Evident In The Bible Than

In The Outcomes Displayed Between 
Judas Iscariot And Jesus Christ

And

Jesus Christ And Simon Peter! 

In One Relationship ... The Servant Acts Like The Leader! 

In The Second Relationship ... The Savior Leads! 

In The Second Relationship

The Savior Does His Blessed Work
And

The Servant ... Given A New Name

Is 
Commissioned To Feed The Lord's Tender Lambs And Sturdy Sheep

And

This Faithful Servant

Enduringly Faithful To His Own Life's End

Has The Memorial Of His Faithfulness
Love And Worship Of His Blessed Lord

Displayed As A Foundation Of The Beautiful City ... Forever! 

The Other Is A Cautionary Tale

To All Who Are Tempted To Follow The Goat

The Devil

Satan

The Piercing Serpent

The Dragon

The Lord Of The Dung Flies! 

Remember, Brethren

CPAs Want Money

But

CPR Leads To Life ... With Our Lord Christ! 

Think About This: 

The Big Question We Have Before Is

How Is It Possible To Be In 

A Close, Intimate, Relationship With Jesus Christ

Holding A Position Of Trust 
Amongst His Trusted Disciples, Apostles

And Yet 
Have Satan Enter In Your Heart!?!

The Plain, Simple, Answer
Is
When We Allow Self To Be King

Greed To Be Master

Presumption To Be Our Motivator

And 

The Lust For Gain And Power To Be Our Propellant! 

You Can't See Your Self

And

Your Savior With Eyes On The Same Level

And

Expect Your Star To Rise! 

That's A Shooting Star! 

That's A Star Flaming ... Out! 

Beloved, 

Beware The Base Boaster

Who Blames Others For Self! 

Beware The Self-Serving Sinner

Who Encourages You To Put Your Saving Relationship

With Jesus Christ Our Lord And God

Upon The What-Not Aka Useless Things Shelf! 

We Cannot Serve Two Masters! 

We Must Love The Lord Christ... Exclusively 

Or We Shall End Up As Judas Did 
Betraying The Lord's Trust

Selling Out To The Call Of The World 
And 
Aligning With Satan
And 
Willingly Betraying The Lord Who, Alone, Saves Us! 

Judas Iscariot

Lost His Life ... His Chariot

Because

His Conveyance Moved On Lies! 

The End Of Judas Was That 

He Went From The Presence Of Jesus 
And

It Was Night ... Literally

And

Night Spiritually! 

There Was No More Light Of Life In His Soul

And 

He Went Out 
And 
Destroyed Himself ... Damned For Eternity

But

Not Before Feeling

And

Knowing

The Separation From Divinity
From The Lord Of Life!

He Knew The Blackness Of Darkness

The Breaking Of The Link ... With Heavenly Love! 

People, 

Presumption Is Knowing Right
And
Deliberately Doing Wrong
And Is
A Sin Like No Other
Because
We Mere Mortals Think We Can Tempt Almighty God!

See That You Don't Indulge In It

And

By The Grace Of Almighty God

Which Is Always Sufficient 

See To It That You Don't Sell Eternal Gold 
To Buy Perishable Silver! 

Faithfully Follow Jesus Christ And Live! 

May The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding

Be Ever Yours!

Wisdom ... Temptation ... Praying

Just Because I'm Young

It Doesn't MEAN That I'm Foolish

And Just Because You All Are Old

It Doesn't That All Of You Are Wise!

WATCH your Mouth, Young Lady!

You Weren't Born In A Barn!

Remember, It Isn't What You Say Always

It Is How You Say It!

Brother Phussie

I'm Am Sick And Tired Of Always Being Told That 
I'll UNDERSTAND Things When I Get Older!

I'm Getting Older Every Day 

And I Can Tell You That 
I Understand A Lot More Than You Credit Us With!

Okay, Mecina!

Speak Your Piece!

Brethren, 

Please Listen To Her Attentively!

Brethren, 

I'm In A Quandary That Is Starting To Look Like A Quagmire 

And I Cannot For The Life Of Me Understand Why

If Sin Is Our Disease 

And Jesus Christ Is Our Cure

And 
If We Are Cursed

And The Earth Is Cursed For Our Sakes

And

Since Jesus Christ Came To This Earth

And Showed Us How To Live

And Died Our Death

And Got Up And Rose Up To Glory

And Thereby

Secured For Us New Bodies ... New Lives

And New Homes In Glory Land

And On An Earth Made New

Why Are Some Many Persons 
- Including Some Of Our Very Church Members -

Willing To Die To Get Earthly Mansions

And Are Pleased To Visit Plastic Surgeons 

So That They May Appear Ever-Young

When We Have Immortality, Incorruptibility

Eternal Youth

And An Everlasting Home Compliments Of

The Majesty Of Heaven!?!

Shouldn't We So-Called Christ Followers

Be Quick To Tell Unbelievers 

And Other Apparently Disinterested Parties

That Without Jesus Christ

Man Has Nothing Better

That Jesus Christ Saves

That He Loves Us ... Unconditionally 

Unreservedly

Unendingly!?!

Why Do So Many Want To Hold On To This Earth

Even Willing To Cannibalize Their Brethren

When The Lord Christ Himself

Is Going To Burn It Up!?!

Why Are We Refurbishing Bodies That Are Known Terminal

That Cannot Enter The Eternal City

That MUST Be Changed Into Christ's Glorious Body!?!

Why Don't We Believe The Word Of God Absolutely!?!

Why Are We Second-Guessing 
The Living Word Of The All-Knowing God

Who Is Ever-Present

And Whose Eyesight Extends To The Infinite!?!

Why Are We So Afraid To Believe!?!

To Trust

To Wait ... Patiently

Packed And Prepared For Travel!?!

Why Are We Afraid To Pray

Or More Specifically

Pray Big Prayers!?! 

Why Won't We Let Go Of Self

And Get A Strangle-Hold On Our Savior!?!

Why Don't We Sincerely Believe The Word Of God Enough

To Stop Picking It Apart

And Mansplaining What Almighty God Dictated To Us 

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth!?!

I Guess That My Real Question Is

When Are We Going To Start ... Believing 

Believing That Our Lord Jesus

Our Holy God Eternal

Cannot Fail!?!

Mecina, Dear Child

Belief Is A Heart Issue

A Personal Issue

Between Our Self And Our God

And 

That Is Why We Are Each, Personally, Called Upon

To Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation

With Fear, Godly Fear, And Trembling!
Resisting The Devil Is Not A Futile Exercise!

On The Issue Of Prayer 
And A Sideways Touch Regarding Temptation
Because
We Are All Often Tempted Not To Indulge Praying

I Offer To You ... To Us All

This Thought ... Caution ... From Dr. Luke:

Christians Should Always Repair To Prayer! 
Praying Is Powerful!

Jesus Christ Often Had All-Night Prayer Meeting With His Father

And 

We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing! 

We Are Always Going To Face Temptation 

And As I Said Before
Even Temptation To Not Pray

And 

We Are Going To Need Strength 
To Resist The Tempter ... By The Word! 

The Way To Receive Strength For The Battle 

Is 

Through Praying! 

However, Please Do Not Forget That Praying Without Faith 

Is 

Just Like Spitting Into The Air 

And 

Expecting A Shower Of Rain To Fall: It Isn't Going To Work! 

Beloved, 

I Encourage You

To Raise Up Your Prayers In Faith ... No Doubting

And 

He Who Is Ever Faithful Will Deliver For You 

According To His Will, His Way

And 

His Time! 

The Heartfelt, Humble, Prayers Of The Righteous

Avails, Accomplishes, Much! 
Keep Your Eyes On Christ Jesus!

And Furthermore

I Encourage You To Remember That

Our Lord Christ Has 1,000 Ways To Save Us

About Which We Know Nothing

So See To It That You Pray ... With Passion!

Dare To Light A Candle For The Devil To See That

You And Your Lord

Are In A Committed Relationship

And

Let Your Life Be An Epistle For All Who Observe You! 

I Commend You To The Lord:
Commit Your Way To His Leading!

Amen, And Thanks, Kindly!
I Appreciate You
And I Bless God For The Gift Of Faith!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: DISADVANTAGE: Self

How Can You Call Your Self A Christian

While You Are Walking With King Fraud!?!

You Cannot Seek To Benefit Self

While Taking Advantage Of Others

And

Pridefully Say That You Are A Faithful Child Of

The True And Living Faithful Holy God!

A Christian
Is 
A Faithful Follower Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Looking Forward To The Consolation 

When We Shall Enter The Great Reward!

No Converted Christian

Purveys Self

Nor Relishes I, Me, My, Mine, And Myself, 

Because

He Follows The Ways Of The Master

And
Is Willing To Serve

Ready To Share

Able To Care For His Fellowman

Choosing From Ungodliness 

Decidedly To Forbear!

We Cannot Lift Up Self

By Maliciously Lowering Others

And

We Cannot Enrich Ourselves

By Wickedly Robbing Others!

We Must Not Covet Any Man's Silver Or Gold

Or His Raiment

No Matter For How Much At Retail It Is Sold

Because

Our God ... Just, Living, Kind, True

Has Promised In His Innocent Blood

To Take Care Of Both Me And You!

Give Until It Hurts!

Love Until You Die
And

Be Kind Even If It Makes You Cry

Because

Jesus Christ Has Made Royal Provision For Us

In Glory Land

In The Sweet By And By!

Believe ... And Be Blessed!

Live To Be A Spiritual Success!

Trust And Obey The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

Jesus Christ Is King!

Satan Is Damned
And
He Amounts To Nothing

So Depart From Doing Evil

And

With The People Of God Sing:

Heaven Is My Home!

My Redeemer Lives!

Truth Is My Shield!

In The Day Of God's Appointing

On Wings Of Eagles

To Highest Heaven

I Shall Surely Be Seen Mounting! 

Thought For The Week Ahead ...

We Cannot Desire To Receive ... To Enter 
The Father's Kingdom

The Kingdom Of The Forever-Blessed 
More Than Our Father Wishes 
To Give The Living Kingdom To Us! 

We Are Called, Clothed, Cared-For

Commissioned, Comforted, Cradled

And 

In The Day Appointed

We Shall Be Carried Home 

And 

Crowned With Life Everlasting 
For Our Enduring Faithfulness! 

Our Father Has Not Given Us The Spirit Of Ungodly Fear! 

We Have Received Of Him Power

A Sound Mind

And 

A Heart Of Love 
To Hold Him In Awe And Amazement 

For His Myriad, Moment By Moment, Blessings 

Upon Us Whom He Loves So Very Much! 

Beloved,

It Is Time Do The Good And The Right

So Stiffen Your Spine 
With The Words Of Almighty God's Promises To Us
And

Call Sin, Sin

Rebuke Satan With The Unfailing Word

Trust Jesus Christ, The Lord Our God

Obey His Will

And 

Pray And Walk ... Home! 

Surpassing Glory Awaits Us! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Fools Rush In!?!

There Is Nothing More Foolish Than 
Providing An Answer To The Unasked Question! 

In The Old Days 
They Used To Call People Who Did That
"A Real Cubbah!" 

I Remember That

And It Was A Stinging Indictment! 

Please, I Beseech You
Don't Practice Folly To Look Wise! 

Only Fools Go Where Angels Fear To Tread! 

Some People May Think That You're A Fool 

But 

Please Don't Give Them The Opportunity 
To Prove It By Opening Your Mouth 
Prematurely And Presumptuously! 

My Granny-Ma U-sed To Say:

"Silence Is Golden! 

Speak When You're Spoken To 

But Only After Having Prayed 
For Wisdom From The Lord!" 

Those Are Words Truly Worthy Of 
Willing Acceptance And Regular Practice
But

I'm Sure That You Know That 
Some People Always Want To Have The First 

And 
The Last Word

And 
Having More Testicular Fortitude Than Commonsense
Are Ever Desirous Of Shedding Light ... Even In Bright Daylight 

And 
Avidly Display Grand "Insight"

When Exercising Commonsense Would Make Practical Sense! 

These Persons Would Do Well To Follow 
Jesus Christ's Perfect Example Of Reticence
- In The Time Required -

Before The Deceitful Scribes And Pharisees

The Sanhedrin

Pontius Pilate

And

King Herod! 

We Would All Do Well To Accept That
There Is A Time For Everything Under The Sun
And
Understand That 
Knowing The Time To Keep Silent Is One Of Them!

Now, I'm Also Certain That You Know That

Certain People Amongst Us

Claim To Always Have The Perfect Answer 
To Questions That Haven't Received Air! 

Oh, Yes! 

And They're Getting Real Bold Nowadays! 

Yeah! 

They're Even In The Church

And Are Claiming Special Powers

From The Holy Spirit To Read People's Minds! 

Brethren, 

Be Warned! 

Be Watchful! 

Be Wary

And

Beware! 

The Ability To Read Minds Aka Mind-Reading 

Is 

Safely In The Domain Of Almighty God ... Alone 

And 

Any Created Being 

Be It Human 
Or Fallen Angel Masquerading As A Human

Who Says That They Can Read Your Mind 

And 

Know What You're Going To Do Before You Do It 

Is 

A Liar And A Tool Of Satan!

There Is No Light In Them! 

If Satan And Fallen Angels

Aka Demons

Could Really Read Minds

They Would Have Known That
Killing Jesus Christ Was A Really Bad Idea

Because

The End Result Spelt Their Complete Destruction! 

I Hear That!!! 

Brethren, Beloved

Guard Your Heart ... Your Mind

And 

Keep Your Eyes On Jesus Christ 

Who Safely Leads His Children 
 Along The Treacherous Paths Of This Life

And

Don't Ever Forget That
We Have All The Other Sight That We Will Ever Need
In The Person 
And 
The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who Will Teach Us All Things That We Need To Know!

We Are Nearing Home
And
There Are Pitfalls At Every Turn

But

Please Don't Add To Your Peril

By Adding Folly To The Mix! 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation
Because 
There Will Be No Fools In Heaven! 

Let's Trust In Jesus Christ For He Is Our Peace
And

Let's Lean On The Lord's Infinite Understanding 
And 
Truly Live
For He Is The Light Of Our Lives!! 

PRAYER: I Won't Complain, Dear Father!

Father,

I Love You!

I Need You To Survive

And

I Am Not Even Going To Try To Survive

Without You By My Side!

You Are My Father

My Savior

My God

My Lord

And

I Choose To Stand Up For My Jesus

Who Will Carry Me To Your House

To The Promised, Heavenly, Reward!

Why Should I Be Discouraged

With Life And Its Vagaries

When Troubles Come A-Knocking

And

Problems Multiply Like Fleas

When I Have Your Glorious Hand

Giving Help

Providing Healing

Drawing A Tapestry Of Love, Joy

Truth, Peace And Blessing

Giving Me  Reason To Hope And To Cope!?!

Father, 

You Know That I Am Human

A Child Of Love

Made Of Dust

Given Your Holy Breath Of Life

A Sinner

Weak

Needing Your Love, Grace And Mercy

Each And Every Day

So

I Will Not Stand Up

On The Pillar Of My Natural Weakness

Using It As A Cheap Excuse For Sin!

I Choose, Dear Father

With Your Richest Blessings

To Walk, In Faith, For Love

With Him Who Strengthens Me

With Him Through Whom I Can Do

All Things That Are Good, True, Noble 

Honorable, Lovely, Right

So That I Will Your Holy Heart

Please And Truly Delight!

Father, 

I Could Murmur And Complain!

I Could Cuss Up A Storm And Be Profane!

I Could Sell My Birth-Right To Eat Red Beans 

Which Come Out In The Draught!

I Could Walk Wild And Willful

Deliberately Negotiating Satan's Damnable Path

And

I Could Give Up On Your Promises

But

In The Blessed Name Of My Jesus

I Can't Because I Believe You At Your Word!

I Trust You!

I Trust The Promises Made!

I Feel The Blessings Poured Out!

I Daily Receive The Day's Gift Of Workable Faith

And

I Am Enfolded In Your Mercy

And

Ministered To By Your Grace

And

Comforted, Taught, Guided And Chided

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Protected And Influenced By Your Holy Angels

And

Bathed In Your Love Divine!

I Have Every Reason To Sing Your Praise!

You Know My Name! 

You Made My Frame! 

You Hear My Cry!

I Know You Love Me, Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally

And

You Know From My Heart That I Desire You! 

Please Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Please Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

Whether I Can See Or Feel You! 

Please Help Me Live Faithfully On The Living Word

The Bread Of Life

And 

To Walk With Endurance

To Watch With Diligence

To Wait With Patience

To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation

Unto The Day Of Redemption

Or While This Short Life Shall Last! 

Lord, 

I Am Your Child: Feed Me! 

I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus: Teach Me! 

I Am Your Servant: Commission Me! 

I Am Willing To Work

So Please Bless Me To Obey!

Please, Dear Father

Equip Me To Serve

And

Strengthen Me To Perform

Enlivening My Mind

And

Granting Me Wisdom And Understanding

So That The Knowledge Which I Acquire

Will Bless Me

And

Bless Me To Bless Others

To Come To Know And Love My Lord Christ

Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!

Thank You, Father

For The Call To Life!

Thank You For The Infinite Sacrifice!

Thank You For Your Blessings Each And Every Day

And

Thank You For Hearing And Answering 

Faith-Filled, Humble, Heartfelt, Prayers

Offered Up In The Name Of The Lovely Jesus! 

Grant Unto Your People The Blessed Perfect Peace

And 

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

Wait On The Lord Christ!

Waiting 
Is Not
Something At Which Impatient
Known-Selfish Humans Excel! 

The Heart Wants What It Wants When It Wants It 

But

Waiting On The Lord 

Is 

A Necessity In The Christian Economy 

If 

We Will See Jesus Christ ... In Perfect Peace! 

Waiting On The Lord
Is Not 
Laziness

Nor Does It Mean Doing Nothing! 

Waiting 
Is 
Our Time Of Preparation! 

When You Wait Upon The Lord

He Inclines His Heart To You

Calls You To Himself

And Hears Your Cry:

He Provides For You

According To His Will

And

Always For Your Blessing!

Waiting Requires Patience 

And 

We Must Permit Patience To Do Her Perfect Work 

So That We Will Lack Nothing 
In The Great Day Of Small Things! 

They That Wait Upon The Lord

Will Renew Their Strength!

A Man Can't Past A Test Without Waiting

As In Study, Practice, Rinse And Repeat! 

I Tried To Pass A Test Without Studying! 

Let's Just Say It Did Not Go Well! 

We Must Follow The Lord's Instructions, People! 

What Is Happening ... What Is Ahead For Us

Is Not 
For Some Earthly Prize Or Passing Grade! 

We Are In The Battle Of The Ages
- Between Good And Evil
Light And Darkness
And Truth And Error -

With The Coveted Prize Being The Real Crown ... Of Glory

And

No Willfully-Disobedient, Rough-Edged
Own-Way, Stony-Hearted, Presumptuous, Sinner

Will Ever Gain One! 

Victory Over Sin And Self

Comes Through Willing Obedience

To The Way Of The Eternal God!

You Got That Right! 

Precious Stones ... In The Rough

Are Not Beautiful Beautiful 

Until 

They Are Cut, Shaped, Refined, Smoothed, Polished 

And 

Set In Position 

According To The Stated Purpose! 

Precious Stones Are Tested

For Perfection! 

You, Personally

Are Marked To Be A Jewel In The Savior's Crown! 

Accept Your Day Of Waiting In The King's Workshop 

And 

Know That Your Day For Unveiling Will Be Grand And Glorious! 

Watch, Work
And 
Wisely Wait Upon Our Lord Christ!
His Actions Cannot Fail
Nor Should They Frighten Us!

Jesus Christ Loves You

With An Everlasting Love! 

Waiting On The Lord Is Not Wasting Time! 

He Knows When To Show Up And Show Off! 

Our Waiting Time 

Is 

Preparation Time 

And 

The On-Time God 

Is 

Going To Give The Performance Of The Ages That 

Will Never Be Repeated

And

I Intend ... By His Great Grace

And 

Loving Mercy For Me
- Tried, Purified And With The Character Change In Place 
That Is The Requirement For The To-Heaven Rising Up -

To Be Among The Faithful Few! 

To God Be Glory For The Things He Has Done

Is Doing And Will Do 

For Us Who Are Willing To Be Remade In His Image! 

Brethren, 

Being In The Refiner's Fire

On The Grinding Stones

Or In A Crucible

Is

A Pleasant Experience! 

It Ain't Pleasant But It's Necessary! 

With The Necessity Of The Experience Always In Mind

Please Keep Your Faith Forward

And

Work Your Faith For All It's Worth

And 

I'm Certain That We'll Definitely Meet 
In The Beautiful City Of Living Light
On The Appointed Day!! 

The King Is Coming!

Get Washed

And Get Ready!

From Your Lips To The Blessing God's Listening Ears 
And Ever-Compassionate Heart! 

Beloved,

Please Remember What Sister Lynn Said:
Patience Rewards The Patient!
I Pray The Lord's Peace And Protection Be Upon Us All!

AMEN!
