THE FORMULA: The Struggle Of The Christian

Brethren,

This Is How The Formula
For The Struggle Of The Christian Goes:

Sense Aka What I Feel 
Versus Faith Aka What I Daily Receive, Have And Exercise
And
Fear Aka Ungodly Fear
Versus Hope Aka The Lord Is My Portion Saith My Soul
Therefore Will I Trust In Him! 
The Blessed Assurance!

What The Christian Often Does ...

He Complains To The Lord About His  Present Conditions
And Then 
He Remembers Whose Child He Is
And
He Immediately Comforts Himself 
Regarding His Future Estate

And

Life Being What It Is
He Recycles, Rinses, And Re-Uses
His Complaints And His Comforts 
- We Need To Study About The Prophet Jeremiah -

And Ultimately

Watching, Waiting, Faith That 
Works Because Of Love ... Wins!

The Facts Remain ... 

I Am ... You Are ... A Christian!
We Are Christians
And
I Pray To The Father That That Is
 By Name And By Nature!

Let's Make This Really Personal!

I Have Personal Experience!
I Know The Lord!
He Hears ... And Answers ... My Prayers
And
I've Seen His Hand Work In The Lives Of Others!


The Father Is Faithful
And He Has Promised ... In Blood
Never To Leave You Nor Forsake You!

The Lord God Almighty Says:


 Pray!
Trust!
Believe!
Be Obedient!
Endure ... To The End!

Even In The Low Dungeon ... That Place Of Despair
With No Lower Place To Descend To Than Death
I Will Raise My Voice In ... Lamentation
Then A Psalm Of Praise
And
Then I Will Share The Wisdom 
Found In Isaiah 41: 10, 13, 14
Because 
I Have Living Experience
And
I Will Rest In The Song Of Solomon 
And 
In The Book Of Daniel The Prophet
And
In The Revelation Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
By The Hand Of Apostle John The Aged!

In Short
We Are To Recognize And Know That We Have A Future!

Indeed!
I Know That I Have An Expected End
And
So Do All Of Us Who Choose To Accept The Promise!


The Father  ... By The Master
Has Promised All His People
A Prepared Home In Glory Land!

My God Is Omniscient!
My God Hears All!
My God Sees All!
My God Knows All!
My God Is In All!
My God Judges All
But 
As For Me
Because I Trust In Him ... In His Living Word
Because I Claim ... Believe ... The Promises
Because I Know His Hand
Of Love
Of Chastisement
Of Correction
Of Protection
Of Direction
Of Providence
Of Blessing ... For Confession Of Sin
For Repentance For Known Sin
For Choosing Him As My Everlasting Portion
Who Knew Me Before I Was
Who Ordained My Position
Who Called Me To His Side
He Shall Be ... He Is ... My King
My Lord, My God, My Hope, My Help
My Salvation 
My Redeemer
And
I Shall Press On To The Mark
To My High Calling
Because 
My God Ever Lives To Make Intercession For Me
And
I Personally Know He Cares For Me ... Personally!

We Should All Be Personalizing This Effort! 








Our Father Says: Children, Fear Not! 
Our Faith Says: Father, We Trust Your Word! 
Our Feelings Say: But, What If!?! 
Our Enemies Say: There Is No God! 
Our Hope Says: In Godly Fear Is Great Reward! 
Our Obedience Says: I Know In Whom I Believe
And 
I Live For Him Who Cares For Me! 

The Lord Is My Light ... My Salvation
And 
The Strength Of My Life
And 
I Will Not Be Afraid 
Because 
He Knows My Name, My Voice
My Heart, My Condition
And
I Know His Sacrificial Love
And 
I Will Lovingly Do As He Lovingly Bids Me! 

I Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord 
And 
I Will Endure All Things 
For He Is Health And Cure! 
I Will Not Fear Man Nor The Devil: 
I Hold The Living God In Godly Fear
And 
I Will Unceasingly Pray! 

Jesus Christ Is My ... Is Our ... Perfect Peace! 

Peace Be Still!
Oh, How Glorious It Is To A God
In Whom We Can Trust To Strengthen Us ...!

... And Trust To Carry All Of Our Burdens
As Long As We Trust And Obey His Word!

Brethren,

To Reiterate And Reinforce
Please Recognize The Viable Keys To The Kingdom:

Trust The Word ... Not The Lying Eye! 
Obey The Will Of God 
And 
Don't Walk In The Corrupt, Selfish, Self-Pitying Way! 

When You Trust And Obey
You Will Endure!

The Lord Has Made The Way Plain ... And Perfect!

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord 
For His Goodness To The Children Of Men! 

Let's Thank God For Grace Now
And Coming Glory To Share!

Indeed!
He Is Good ... And Forever Faithful!

SIN OF PRESUMPTION: Covetousness




Covetousness Is Presumption! 

There Is The Old Saying:

Covetousness Is A Curse
And
Licorishness Makes It Worst!

There Is The Word Of God:






Covetousness Is Idolatry
And No Idolater Nor Covetous Person
Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God!

The Lord Has Made It Abundantly Clear That
He Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake
And
That He Will Provide For Us
According To His Riches In Glory!

I Ask Us All:

Where Is The Faith, The Hope, The Trust!?!
Why Are We Christians Indulging In Worldly Lust!?!

We Need To Recognize, Brethren
That There Is Good Lust
And There Is Bad 
And
We Need To Know The Difference
And
Practice That Which Will Cause Our Savior
Over Our Decision To Be Glad!

Brother Billy, 
I Don't Understand How Covetousness 
Could Be Both Good And Bad
When The Word Says That
You Can't Get Sweet Water And Bitter Water From The Same Souce
With The Apostle James Also Stating That
Blessing And Cursing Shouldn't Come From The Same Tongue!

Very Good Points, Danette!
Let's Figure This Out Together!

Achan Coveted Forbidden Gold
Silver And A Babylonish AKA Worldly Garment!
Was This Good!?!

That Was Very Bad! 
He Caused The Unnecessary Deaths Of God's People
And He Lost The Goods Coveted And His Own Life!

Prophet Balaam Coveted King Balaam's Treasure 
Even Though It Was The Forbidden Reward 
For Doing A Disobedient Work!
Good Or Bad!

Bad! Real Bad!
His Wickedness Cost 24,000 People Their Lives Up Front
And For His Trouble
Both He And His Evil Paymaster 
Perished In War Against Their Despised Targets!

Are We Learning Anything Yet!?!

I Know That I Am:
Covetousness Doesn't Profit!

Well Said!

Those Were Old Testament Cases!
Now We Shall See If The Law Of God Has Changed
And
"Made" New Testament Covetousness A "Baptised-Good" Thing!

Let's Consider The Close Companion Of Christ
The Bag Man Aka Accountant
Aka In-house Thief, Judas Iscariot
The Betrayer!

Judas Coveted Perishable Silver
And Sold Out Eternal Gold
To Get What He Could, Would, Never Spend ...!

... This Was Bad, Bad, Bad!
10,000 Times Bad ... And Inordinately Foolish!
He Lived With God In The Flesh
And Still Said There Was No God
By Believing That He, A Mere Man
Could Set, As In Direct, The Lord's Calendar
Life And Times!

Very True!
This Brings Us To ...!

... I Know! I Know!
Ananias And His Confederate Wife, Sapphira!
Those Two Lied To The Holy Spirit
And Those Two Swiftly Died For Their Lies!

Indeed!
Theirs Was Folly Of The Highest Order!
They Were Coveting The Praise Of Man
Over A Gift That They Freely Chose To Give To God
To Get The Praise Of Men
For A Gift They Gave To God With One Hand
And 
Blithely Took Back With The Other!

Just Hearing You Say That Is Twisting My Tongue!

Sincerity Before God Is A Serious Business!

Now That We Know What Bad Covetousness Is
What Would You Say Is Good To Covet!?! 

The Things Of God
Things That Don't Perish ...!

... Things That Elevate Us And Draw Us Closer To Christ!

Prophesying ... Teaching The Word
Being Blessed To Bless Others ... In Jesus' Holy Name
And Seeking After Skills Or Gifts 
To Be Used To Enhance The Work Of Spreading The Good News

Covetousness Was Introduced Into Heaven By Satan
And
Promulgated And Practiced On Earth
And
It Shall Be Terminated By Jesus Christ The King
When He Shall Cast All Its Adherents 
Into Hell At The Third Coming
When He Will Deal With Those Who Get Up
At The Second Resurrection
Those Whose Names Are Not Found Recorded
In The Lamb's Book Of Life!

Brethren, 

The Choice ... As Always
Is 
Personally Each Man's Own
No Force
No Coercion!
We, Each, Must Choose To Believe ... Or Not
That The Lord ... The Word Made Flesh
Is 
True And Faithful
Ever Keeping His Word Of Promise!
There Is No Straddling The Fence!
Believe ... Or Doubt
But Don't Ever Waffle!

Believers Are Blessed!
Doubters Minds May Change!
Wafflers Are Neither Coming Nor Going
And As Such
Are Good Only For The Burn Box!
They Are Double-Minded ... Unstable
Therefore ... Unprofitable
Useless 
Condemned 
Damned!

The Lord Can Relieve Honest Doubts
If We Are Willing To Be Convinced!


Think About It:


Image result for psalm 19:13 kjv

Presumptuous Sin Is Deadly, Twice! 

You, A Mere Mortal, Being Willfully Disobedient
Tempt Almighty God 
By Demanding He Save You From The Folly Of Doing 
What He Didn't Ask 
And
You Act As God
Demanding The Real God Do What You Command! 

Disobedience Is As Witchcraft, A Sin
And 
Acting As God Is Idolatry ... False Worship
Which Is Also A Sin! 
Covetousness Is Also Idolatry! 

We Are To Have Total Faith And Trust In God 
And 
We're Never To Test ... Tempt ... Almighty God 
In A Foolish Effort To Prove His Faithfulness! 

Satan Tried This On Jesus! 
Jesus Christ The Lord ... Our God Holy
Put Satan In His Place With The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Please Don't Let The Lust Of Your Flesh 
Incite You To Offend The Almighty 
And 
Sin Against Your Own Soul! 

The Lord Has Given Us His Holy Law 
And 
He Has Given Us His Promise Of Care: 
For All Your Needs
Let These Be Sufficient!

Praying Useless Against Corona Virus!?! + PRAYER: Father, We Need A Cure Against The Corona Virus!



No Prayer, No Power!


For All Of You That Think That All Christians Do Is Pray
I Bid You Look At The Book Of Exodus Chapter 14 Verse 15
And 
From Your Misconception See That You Walk Away!

There Is A Time For Everything That Is Found Under Sun
And
There Will Be Time Always, Always
When To Almighty God's Son, Our Only Savior That 
We Should, With Alacrity, Run!

Brethren, 

Take No Heed Of Those Who Say That
"Praying Serves No Purpose!"
And
See To It That 
You Roundly Ignore Those Who Say Maliciously:

Pray, If You Must, I Encourage You
But Know For Sure That In This Matter 
Your God Can't Help You: Science Holds The Door! 

On Point Of Order, I Beg To Differ
And 
Clearly Say Without Hesitation That
The Living God To Whom I Pray
Is 
The Creator God Who Can And Does Bless
And
Who, With Pleasure, Encourages Us To Pray 
Because
He, Alone, Is Able To Bless!
His Word You May Freely Trust! 

Many Are The Things We Would Receive ... If We Prayed! 
Many Are The Sorrows We Would Have Avoided
If, By The Prayer Of Faith
We Permitted The Almighty God
To Gently, Safely, Lead The Way! 

Moses And The Israelites Were On The Horns Of A Dilemma! 
Moses Was Exercising Faith Through Prayer
And
The Lord Said: Get Up
And 
Do Something Aka Lead The People On The Way!
Just In Case You Don't Catch My Drift: Faith Works! 

Humble Prayer ... In The Hand Of Faith
Unlocks Heaven Infinite Storehouse 
Wherein Is Found The Best Blessing Needed ... Always!

Brethren, Beloved

We, As Nations, Kindreds, Tongues And Peoples
Are In A Planet-Wide Struggle For Survival! 
Please Ignore The Naysayers, The Doubters
Those Indulging Disbelief
Those Mockers, The Scoffers, The Naysayers
The Downright Demonic
And
Humbly Pray To The God Who Is The I AM
And
Is Not Like The False Gods Who, Being Useless
Force Obedience And Worship
Against The Free Will Given To Every Man
By The Eternal God! 

Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King
Is Not 
A Plaster Saint
Nor One Made Wood, Stone
Gold, Silver, Silver, Iron
Precious Stone 
Nor Composite Iron And Clay! 


PRAYER:


Please Help Us, Lord
To Truly See Our Desperate Need! 
Help Us To Be Humble And Faithful! 
Help Us To Repair Unto You
At The Throne Of Grace
Where We Will Find Grace To Help Us
In This Our Time Of Need! 

Father,
You Give To Every Man Faith By Measure! 
Please Help Us To Excercise
Our Gift Of Daily Faith
To Practice Willing Obedience
And 
To Walk With The Endurance
Born Of Hope
Trusting Him Who Is The Living Word
And
Believing The Word Of Truth And Promise
For The Craved Blessing
Already On The Wing
The Answer To Fervent Prayer
For A Sure Cure
Against The Corona Virus
Which We Cannot Endure!

Father,
Please Pity Us, And Have Mercy!
Help Us To Confess And Repent
Of Known Sin
Turning Away From The Evil
To Do The Good And The Right
So That We May Be Saved And Blessed
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Humbly, Importunately
Pray And Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN.


Praying Is Doing! 
Pray For Wisdom
Pray For Foresight So That You Will Have Insight! 
Pray For Strength To Act
And 
Opportunity To Perform! 

The Eternal God Who Says:
"Children, Pray Without Ceasing!"
Is 
The Same God Who Provides All Things For His Children! 

Seek Him ... And You Will Find Him!
Knock, Knock, Knock ... And His Gate Will Be Opened To You!
Ask Him ... According To His Will For What You Need! 

The Lord Provides! 


Image result for hebrews 3:12-13 kjv


Righteousness Exalts A Nation: 
Sin Destroys A Nation ... A Family, A Person! 

Unbelief Is Knowing Truth ... Right
And 
Willfully Disregarding Them! 
Unbelief Is Sin! 

Unbelief Is Deadly 
Because
It Is A Knowing Choice: 
The Wage Paid For Sin Is Death! 

Beloved, 

We Are All Sinners 
But 
We All Have The Will To Choose 
To Be Saints Of God And Christ 
By Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
And 
Turning To The Lord Christ 
Believing His Word
Trusting His Promises 
And
Walking In His Way
Under His Kindly Light
Which Leads To Eternal Life 
In The Heavenly Realm! 

You Have A Daily Ration Of Faith: Use It Liberally
And 
Be Infinitely Blessed! 
Peace!


The Devil Is The Liar!

True Friend ... With Real Benefits!

I Have A Friend And The Benefits Are To Die For! 

Are You Out Of Your Tiny Mind!?! 

Oh, Yes, I Am And I'm Loving It! 

Somebody Call 911!
Gracilla Done Gone And Lost Her Mind! 

Oh, No, She Hasn't! 
She Has Made The Best Decision Ever ...!

... You've Lost Your Mind, Too! 

You'd Do Well To Lose Yours And Join Us! 

Excuse Me!?! 
Why Would I Join You Heathens In Committing Known Sin!?! 

You Would Join Us, Too, If You Know Who The Friend Is! 

I Sincerely Doubt That
And I Rebuke You All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Wait, I Thought She Said, I Distinctly Heard Her Say That
She Doesn't Want Any Friend With Benefits
So Why Is She Calling His Name!?! 

What Are You Talking About!?! 

Dear Chantelle ...! 

... Call Her CINO Aka Christian In Name Only!

She's Not Going To Like That At All! 

Life's Hard! 
She'll Get Over It ... Eventually! 

If She Doesn't, She'll Never Get Over The Separating Line! 

Since You Put It Like That ...!
Dear CINO, 
We Are Talking About You
Who Claim The Name Of Jesus Christ
But
You Eat Your Own Bread
And
You Wear Your Own Clothing!
You, Dear Heart, Are Depriving Yourself Of
The Rich And Royal Benefits That
He Has And Gives Freely
To Us To Whom He Is The One True Friend! 

Oh, Dear Lord!
I Think I Need To Sit Down! 

Sweet Girl, You Are Sitting Down! 
What You Need To Do Is Stand Up
And
Humbly Claim Your Relationship
With The True Friend ... Jesus Christ The Lord
With Real Benefits ... Which Lead To The Heavenly Reward! 

I, I, I ...! 

... Close Your Mouth! 
You Look Like A Guppy! 

Yeah! 
Close Your Mouth And Open Your Heart
And Feel The Love! 




For All The Days When You Think That No One Loves You
And 
No Cares For Your Personal Well-Being
Remember That There Is God The Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Knows Your Name
And 
Personally ... With Mercy Because Of Love
Provides For You
And 
You Don't Even Have To Beg! 

Urgently Call On Him!
Eagerly Share Your Heart!
Lovingly Touch The Holy Hand Of Help
And 
Peacefully Rest Under His Sheltering Wings 
Where It Is Always Safe To Abide! 
Waiting For You, Beloved
Is 
The Open Treasury Filled With Innumerable Blessings 
Of Which Forgiveness ... That Ever Heals
Is 
Foremost! 

Jesus Christ ... The One True Friend
The Divine Friend
Who Provides Innumerable Blessings And Bounties
And
Benefits Which Always Include Our Daily Bread
Sacrificially Loves You And Me: 
Touch The Holy God Gracious Who Is Near And Dear
And 
Know His Perfect Peace!
He Forever Lives And ... He Unstintingly Gives!


Come To Jesus Christ
Because
He Loves You
And
Gives The Best Blessings And Benefits
And Then
Stay In The Relationship
Because
You Realize That You, Indeed
Eagerly Return His Love
And
Would Stay With Him Forever
Even If He Gave You Nothing More!

Looking For Peace!?! + PRAYER: Have Mercy, Father, And Grant Perfect Peace!





Peace Is Desired By All 
And 
Acquired By Few 
Because 
Most Of Mankind Believes That Access To Money
Sex, Drugs, Alcohol
Power, Position, Popularity, Notoriety
The Acquisition Of Many Toys And Rare Treasures
And 
Time For Playing, Partying
And 
"Doing You!" 
And 
"Living Your Truth!" 
Brings The Peace Which Is Of Jesus Christ The Lord ... Alone
And 
Which Cannot Be Begged, Bought Or Bartered! 

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord
For His Great Goodness 
To The Children Of Men! 

A Life Without Jesus Christ 
Is 
A Life Where There Are WARS:
Worry
Anguish Of Spirit
Restlessness Of Mind
Sadness And Sorrow! 

Oh, That Men Would Accept That 
Jesus Christ's Holy Word Is As He Is:
Good, Kind And Ever True! 

Peace ... Perfect Peace
Is 
The Gift Freely, Generously, Willingly, Given 
- Free Of Encumbrances, Clearly Identified
And Easily Apprehended - 
By The Eternal, Almighty, God Of Grace And Glory
To Every Man, Woman And Child On This Earth! 

An Unaccepted, Unopened
Personal Gift
Is Of No Value To Anyone Else!

If You Want Jesus Christ's Peace, Take It
And
The Only Way To Do That
Is
To Believe The Promise Made
And
By The Bold Exercise Of Faith ... Another Free Gift 
Receive The Gift Given With Gratitude! 

With The Recognition Of Personal Need
With The Willingness To Acknowledge From Whom The Gift Comes
With The Willingness To Trust The Holy Word Of The Promise-Keeper
You Will Know Of A Surety That You Are
And 
Will Be, Blessed From The Source! 

Shiloh Means Peace! 
Jesus Christ, Prince Shiloh
Is 
Our Peace
So Don't Waste Your Precious, Finite, Time
Searching For
Wallowing In
Being Exercised By
That Which Will Not Cause You To Enjoy 
Peace ... Rest And Joy! 

PRAYER:

Father Of The Faithful
Giver Of Good Gifts
I Come To You, Believing, Trusting
Desiring Always
Accepting Gratefully
Your Blessed Gift Of Perfect Peace
Which Contains Rest And Joy!
Thank You For Your Dear Grace! 

Father,
Everywhere Around Me
Are Wandering Souls Known Lost
Looking, Longing, Laughing, Lying, Dying
Bearing The Unbearable Cross
Because They Know Not Christ
And
They Know No Peace
Since All They Treasure Are Things Not Pure
Those Things That Contain Deceptive Alloys! 

I Exercise, Dear Father
My Gift Of Daily Faith In Their Behalf
And
I Ask You, I Beseech You, Please
Open Their Diseased And Blind Eyes
Unstop Their Itching Ears
Help Them To Stop Hardening Their Hearts
In Known Rebellion
And
Help Them To See Their Need Of
Jesus Christ The King
By Whom They Were Created
For Whom They Should Live
And
Through Whom They Are Ever-Blessed! 

Please Help Them, Father
To Humble Themselves
And
To Yield Their Will
To The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit
Who Gently Leads All Souls Willing
Into Everlasting Truth! 

Please Help Them To Be Wise Unto Salvation! 
Help Them To Deny Satan, The Gross Liar
And
Help Them To Embrace The Life That Lasts
By Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
And
Taking Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion
So That They Will, Indeed
Be Forever Blessed! 

Please Let Your Name Be Glorified
And
Jesus Christ Praised
For It Is In His Matchless, Holy, Name
That I Ask, In Faith, These Few Petitions! 

Incline Your Ear Toward Us, Father
And
Grant Us Thy Everlasting Peace! 
I Love You! 
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!
