YOU'RE FORGIVEN: Forgive Yourself

 

We Would All Do Well To Understand That 

When We Are Accepted Into The Family Of 

The Eternal God Known Holy

Our Pasts As Whore, Whore-Monger

Murderer, Liar

Robber, Sodomite

Instigator Of Strife, War-Monger

Idolator Or Agent Of Satan

No Longer Has Relevance! 

Unlike Humans

And 

Satan And His Hell-Bound Hoard

Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love

Having Fully Accepted Our Confession And Repentance

And 

Having Cast Our Repented-Of Sins

Into The Depths Of The Sea

Will Never Reap Up Our "Old Deads"

When We Forget Ourselves 

And 

Act Like The Back-End Of A Runaway Horse! 

Since The Lord Forgives Us Our Trespasses

Please Do Not Ever Be So Wicked To Yourself 

Or 

So Disrespectful To Your Maker As To Utter The Words 

"I Can't Forgive Myself!" 

Or

Permit The Accuser Of The Brethren, Satan

To Cause You To Doubt The Lord 

And 

His Holy Word 

And

His Precious Promise Of A Future 

And 

The Expected End Of A Home 

In The Father's House Of Love! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Shepherd Of Rest

Is 

The Light Of The World: 

Stay Safe In The Light 

And 

Follow The Lord Where He Safely Leads You! 

Please Don't Ever Doubt The Truth! 

Almighty God's Gift Of Forgiveness

Is

Available, Full, And Free: 

Pray! 

Confess! 

Repent! 

Walk Holy! 

Forgive Yourself 

And

Choose To Forgive Others 

And

Live Free! 

Peace!

Don't Be Self-Deceived By Self-Aggrandizement + PRAYER: Dear Father, Please Open Our Eyes!

Are You A Vain Aka Empty, Boastfully Self-Confident Person 

Or 

Are You ... Through Faith

Humble And Confidently Glorying In The Lord Christ!?! 

Are You Confident In Your Ability 

To Manipulate Others To Do Your Will 

But

Are Totally Unaware That 

You Are Being Manipulated To Do Satan's Will 

And

To Walk In His Putrid Ways!?! 

Are You So Concerned 

About Those Who You "Know" Are Disobedient That

You Cannot See That You Are Willfully Disobeying 

Your Living, Giving, And Forgiving Father 

Who Is In Heaven!?! 

Beloved, 

We Choose To See What Stimulates 

And 

Hear What Titillates

But 

Singularly ... Self-Righteously ... Ignore 

What Causes Us To Deviate From 

The Path Of Truth And Beauty 

Even As We Baselessly Excoriate

Aka Condemn Those Whom We Oppose 

Because 

They Have Chosen To 

And

Are Letting The Lord ... By The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Lead Them Gently, Safely

To The Land That Is Fairer Than Day! 

Stop It! 

The Inward Look 

Shows To All Willing To See The Truth 

Whether They Are, Indeed, On The Upward Way! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 

With Godly Fear And Trembling: 

Do Not Be Self-Deceived By Self-Aggrandizement! 

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

Please Open Our Eyes 

So That We May See Wondrous Things

Out Of Thy Law! 

Please Open Our Lips

To Sing Your Praises

And 

Help Us To Be Good, Kind

Obedient, Faithful, And True 

So That On The Great Day

We Will Board The Elevator

To Jesus Christ's Glory!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering

Our Prayer Of Faith!

Please Come For Us Soon

For It Is In Jesus' Dear Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead! 

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY: Keep Satan Miserable!

 

Just Because You Could Do Something

It Doesn't Mean That You Should! 

Just Because You Have Something

It Does Not Mean That 

You Don't Need The Savior's Blood! 

Just Because You Are Dissatisfied With Your Life

It Does Not Mean That 

You Should Make Others Dissatisfied With Theirs! 

Just Because You Love To Hate

It Doesn't Mean That You Should Hate To Love! 

Beloved, 

Misery Likes Company! 

Satan Is Miserable:

Disappoint Him In His Efforts

To Bring Forth Your Destruction

And

Keep Him That Way! 

Hate Hacks Out A Home! 

Doubt Constructs A Development 

And 

Seeks A Destination! 

Truth Is! 

Trust Will! 

Hope Holds Heads High! 

Endurance Always Tries! 

The Praying One Pleads

Plants Seeds

And 

Patiently Plods On To Paradise! 

Patience Is Practical! 

The "Practical" Christian Works 

And 

Watches As He Waits On The Praying-For-Us Prince

Our Prince Immanuel

Who Is Shiloh ... Our Peace! 

Peace With The Lord 

Makes The Way Home Plain 

And

The Journey There A Precious Priority! 

Practice What You Preach! 

Walk Wisely And Not Wildly 

And

Ever, Always, The Ways Of Satan Revile! 

Rid Yourself, By God's Great Grace, Of 

Sin's Embittering Bile 

And 

Do Not Our Blessed Lord's Name 

And 

His For-You Sacrifice Defile 

By Being A Child Of Satan By Proximity! 

Pray For Yourself

And 

Help Others! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + NOTE TO SELF: Almighty God's Good Gifts Are Glorious!

Note To Self: 

Ask The Lord To Help Me To Raise Up My Standards 

And

Lift Up My Eyes From Seeing Dirt 

So That I Will Stop Asking Him, My King And My God

For Gifts That Are Not Good For Me

Nor For Privileges That, With The Passage Of Time

Will See Me Turning Away From The Land Of Love And Light 

To Head Toward Me, My, Mine, Myself, 

And 

Misery! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Says "No!" 

It Is Because He Knows You 

And 

He Can See The End Aka Your End

From Your Beginning! 

When The Lord Say "Yes!" 

It Is Because That Blessed "Yes!" 

Will Bless You Bountifully! 

When The Lord Says "Wait!" 

It Means Not Now 

Because 

Later Aka That Profitable Wait

Will Be Much Better For You! 

When The Lord Of Love Says "Don't Ask Again!" 

It Means Walk With Him Humbly

Patiently, Enduringly 

Because 

His Grace ... His Favor Which You Can't Buy

Is 

Sufficient And Enough For You: 

Trust Him! 

Whether We Receive The Good Gift Today 

Or Ten Years Down The Road

The Good Gift Remains The Good Gift

Because

It Is The Gift Of The Living, Holy, Ever-Faithful

Almighty God Of Grace And Glory! 

Our Father Who Is In Highest Heaven

Is 

The Lord Most High

Giving And Forgiving

Who Personally Loves You Intimately! 

I Beseech Us All To Keep In Mind That 

Saying "Thank You!" For The Good Gift Received 

By The Lord Of Life's Schedule 

Is 

Always Preferable To Having To Ask For Forgiveness 

Because 

The Lord's Perfectly Timed Schedule 

And 

Our Haphazard All-About-Me Agenda

Violently Collided! 

To Willingly Obey 

Is 

Always Better Than Forced Sacrifice 

And

Sacrificing Sinful Self 

Is 

Most Assuredly Always Better Than 

Sacrificing Soul Salvation! 

Almighty God's Good Gifts Are Glorious! 

Peace!

RED RAG RAGING: Taste Your Words!

By The Word Of The Lord

Were The Heavens Made 

And All The Hosts Of Them 

By The Breath Of His Mouth! 

For He Spake ... And It Was Done! 

He Commanded ... And It Stood Fast!

Psalm 33:6 and 9 KJV 

The Words Of Our Lord Jesus Have Creative Power 

But 

Oh, How Many Of Us, As His Children, Are Using Words

- Our Words Which Should Be Few - 

To Cut Down

Cut Apart

Deceive

And 

Ultimately Destroy Others! 

Beloved, 

Good And Wise Words Help 

And 

Heal 

And 

Bring Hope! 

Unwise, Evil, Words Hamper

Hurt, Hound 

And 

Harass! 

In Short

Unwise Words Are Unhelpful

And 

Unchristian 

And 

Ultimately Serve Satan's Unholy Purposes! 

How Are You Using Your Words!?! 

How Have Words Been Used Against You!?! 

If You Could Take Back Already Spent Words

What Would You Say To Someone That

You Known That You Have Maliciously Hurt!?! 

Are You Building Yourself A Sure House 

Or Are You Building Your Dream House 

And

Tearing Down Aka Digging Up Its Foundation 

With The Red Rag In Your Mouth That 

Only The Holy Spirit Of Truth

- By Whom We Are Sealed - 

Can Tame!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Listen To Your Words! 

Taste Your Words! 

Would You Personally Enjoy Swallowing Them 

For Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, And Dessert!?! 

At Whose Table Are You Seated!?! 

Whose Words Are You Repeating!?! 

Love Your Bed ...

If Your Words Built You A Beautiful Bed 

And 

Lavishly Decorated It 

Would There Be Mounds Of Fragrant Rose Petals 

Or Numberless Biting Bed Bugs!?! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

Follow Faith ... Not Foolishness!

 

The Same Three "Ifs" 

With Which Satan Tempted Our Lord Jesus 

To Sin Against Knowledge 

And

Common-Sense

We Must Boldly Meet 

And

Decidedly Overcome 

If

We Are To Enter The Eternal City By Right: 

IF You Are A Child Of God

Do Something To Satisfy Your Stomach!

 

IF You Are Presumptuous

Tempt Your Maker To Save You 

From Your Own Folly ... Your Own Lawlessness

And 

IF You

- A Child Of The All-Knowing

All-Seeing

Ever-Present God -

Are Greedy

For What Your Father Has Not Given To You

Indulge In False Aka Idol Worship To Get It Now

Because

You Want It Now

And

Will Not Be Denied By Anyone! 

Beloved, 

Wearing A Beautiful Dress-Coat 

Lined With Silk Soaked In Poison 

Will Kill You Just As Dead 

As A Straight Shot Of Poison! 

Satan ... Who Will Appear To You As An Angel Of Light

Is 

Still A Poisonous Serpent

A Roaring, Devouring Lion

The Lord Of Dung

The Father Of Lies 

And

A Murderer Who Venomously Hates You! 

Dare To Walk Within The Embracing, Eternal, Light Of 

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love

Who Sacrificially Loves You Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Seek To Scratch Every Itch 

Aka Don't Seek To Satisfy Ever Urge You Have 

Because 

Therein Is Sure Destruction, Death 

And 

Damnation! 

Follow Faith Not Foolishness! 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Is 

Food Which Leads The Eater To A Fabulous Future! 

Enjoy The Feast That Fills And Frees: 

Don't Be Covetous! 

Peace!

HAPPINESS Aka Blessedness!

Have You Ever Considered That 

The Family Into Which You Are Born 

And The Way That You Look 

Are Determined By The Lord God Almighty 

But

Your Attitude And Your Behavior 

Are Solely Determined By You!?! 

Have You Considered That 

It Is Within Your Own Authority

Your Free-Will ... Your Choice ... To Be Happy

Not With And In Things

But 

In The Lord Jesus Christ!?! 

Beloved, 

The Rich

The Rude

The Monied

And 

The Famous For Mediocrity 

Have Taken It Upon Themselves To Noisily Tell All 

Who Are Impressed By Such Trivialities That 

We Will Be Happier

More Fulfilled

And 

Able To Live Our Best Lives Now 

If

We Have Smaller Ears ... Bigger Lips

Narrower Jaws ... Straighter Teeth

Perky Noses ... Padded Breasts And Bums

Fewer Ribs ... Fake Six-Packs

New Gender ... Toys

Bookoo Bucks

And 

A Woke Mind 

Because 

"Thus Said The Man Of Peace!" 

But

Not An Awakened Aka Enlightened Understanding 

Because 

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

The Prince Who Is Our Peace!

When You Love The Lord

You Love Yourself And Others! 

When You Trust In The Lord 

You Trust Him With Your Self 

And 

Plead With Him For Others! 

When You Walk With The Lord

You Don't Walk Over Others! 

Happiness 

Is 

Knowing The Lord Christ: 

To Be Blessed Of The Living God

Is 

To Be Happy In The Lord Of Life! 

Think On These Things! 

Peace!

Praying Lifts You Up To Almighty God!

We Are Lovingly Invited By The King Of Love

The King Of Earth And Glory

To Pray Without Ceasing! 

We Are Encouraged 

To Keep Our Thoughts Stayed Upon Jehovah! 

We Are To Draw Near To The Lord 

And

He Will Draw Near To Us! 

Beloved, 

Have You Ever Considered, Just For A Moment, That 

Instead Of Wasting Precious Time Worrying And Crying 

When You Are Physically Heading North 

And 

Your Life Is Literally Going South 

Without Your Consent Or Input, That

You Should Make It A Practice ... A Habit

Your Way Of Living

To Repair To Praying As Your First Stop 

No Matter The Matter!?! 

Shouldn't We ... As Committed Christians

Have A Default Position That 

Forms An Always-Heard Triangle Music Instrument 

With Individual-You As The Beater!?! 

Problem Presented: 

          Prayer And Praise Performed: 

                    Peace Possessed! 

Problems Are The Open-End Downside Of Life 

Which Make You Vibrate!

 

Prayer And Praise 

Is 

The Foundation Of Life Which Holds You Up!

 

Peace 

Is 

The Perfumed Upside Of Life That 

Keeps You Sweet-Tempered! 

Problems Hit You 

You Hit Prayer And Praise 

And

Peace Lifts You Up! 

The Living Word Says It

And

The Historical Record Proves It

So Let's Keep The Holy Faith

And

Lovingly Remember Those Saints Of God And Christ 

Who Were Praying To And Praising The Lord As They Died

Despite Having Their Feet In Literal Flames:

Their Example Is Our Encouragement!

 

May The Words

"Jesus, Thou Son Of David

Have Mercy On Me!" 

Take On New Meaning In Your Life Today! 

Peace Be Upon You ... As You Pray!

HEAVENLY WARNINGS: Scornful Dogs Eat Dirty Pudding!

No Matter What Is Happening In Your Life 

Never, Ever, Stoop So Low 

As To Walk Anywhere 

On The Advice Of The Known Ungodly! 

Do Not Ever Be Caught Standing On The Streets With 

Or Lounging In The Hidey-Holes Of Known Sinners

And 

In The Name Of The Living God

Do  Not Be Found In The Comfy Chairs Of 

Those Who Are Scornful Of Goodness, Righteousness

Kindness, Fairness 

And 

Faithfulness

And

Never Forget That 

Scornful Dogs Always Eat Dirty Pudding! 

Beloved, 

Every Gift That The Lord Of Glory ... In Mercy ... Gives To Us 

Is 

For Our Blessing 

And

Every Warning That The Lord Of Life Issues To Us 

Is 

For Our Education

Enlightenment 

And 

Upliftment! 

The First Division Of The Book Of The Psalms 

Is 

Just Such A Treasure 

And 

We Would All Do Well To Commit It To Memory 

As It Clearly States Plainly 

The Lot

The Final Condition

The Status

The Standing Of Both The Righteous And The Wicked! 

King Solomon ... King David's Son

Later Went On To Warn Us 

To Neither Be Overly Wicked 

And

Foolish 

And 

Die Before Our Time 

Or 

Be Overly Righteous 

And 

Overly Wise 

And 

Destroy Ourselves!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Boundaries Are Marked As Warnings 

And

Warnings Are Issued To Declare Boundaries! 

Dare To Be Different 

And 

Choose To Walk Wisely In The Will Of Almighty God

As The Good Lord Personally And Lovingly Leads! 

Justice, Judgment, Mercy, Truth: 

Hold Them Close: 

Don't Be Aloof! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Posh Perverters Of The Living Word Of Almighty God!

How Enlightening That The Lord Of Glory Requires That 

Those Who Shall Be Its Forever Citizens 

Must Walk Upright

Work Aka Do Right

And 

Speak Not The Person's Idea Of Truth 

But

The Truth Which Is Of Almighty God

In His Own Heart! 

After All, Out Of The Heart The Mouth Speaks 

Because 

The Heart Is Consumed By The Issues 

Aka Concerns, Sorrows, Frets

Upsets, Joys, And Frustrations Of This Short Life! 

Beloved, 

The Lord's Tabernacle 

Is 

The Same As The Lord's House

And 

As The Builder, Owner 

And

Supervisor Of His House, His Home

The Lord Decides Who Enters There

When

And 

Why! 

Do You Smell The Problem!?! 

Feel Good Theology 

And 

Prosperity Gospel 

Are Two Posh Perverters Of The Living Word Of God 

Because 

They Have Decided That Almighty God 

The Creator

Savior

Sustainer

And

Redeemer Of Mankind

Is 

Our Servant

- Our Drudge Without Pay - 

And 

All That We Need To Do For Him 

Is 

To Redundantly Call His Name 

And 

Nauseatingly Say: 

"God Is Love!" 

And 

Tadaaa!!! 

We Are Automatically Let In The Door! 

Not So Fast! 

Back-Up Your Conveyance! 

If You Don't Want To Follow The Way Of The Lord

Build Your Own Heaven! 

Oops! 

Lucifer Tried That 

And

He Miserably Failed! 

Caution, Caution ... 

Please Don't Let The Father Of Lies 

- That Liar Most Foul - 

Lead You To The Left

Because

Over There Be The Goats Who But, Butt! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Faithfully Follow The Truth

The Lamb Who Is The Lion 

Who Leads His Faithful, Obedient, People 

To Everlasting Life! 

Peace! 

Don't Swallow Satan's Lies:

Knowing Both Good And Evil

While In The Mortal's Coil

Does Not Make You

Lord, God, Nor Divine! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Act Like A Crab!

When We Were Young

To Have Someone Tell You That 

You Were Just Like A Crab 

Was A Grave Chastisement By Insult! 

One Crab Uses Another Crab 

By Climbing On His Back To Raise Himself Up 

And

He Doesn't Look Back! 

To Put It Mildly

A Crab's Mentality 

Is 

To Be An Ungrateful And Inconsiderate Being 

Aka A User And An Abuser! 

Lucifer Was Given Exalted Status 

By Jesus Christ The Lord Who Created Him 

But

He Was Not Satisfied With What He Had 

And

Where He Was In The Heavenly Hierarchy 

So He ... Being The Bright And Shining Ingrate

Set About To First Destroy The Character 

And 

Then The Life Of 

The Very One By Whom He Had Existence! 

So Much For Gratitude And Thankfulness! 

Beloved, 

Look Upon Lucifer Now Satan The Accuser Damned 

And

Weep For Your Own Self 

If 

You See That You Are Manifesting 

The Ingrate's Thankless Spirit! 

By Satan's Seeking To Destroy Jesus Christ's Holy Life 

And

Succeeding In Killing His Human Flesh

Satan Lit The Fuse Which Will See Him

And

All Who Are As He Is

Fire-Bombed And Burned With Unquenchable Fire 

Which Will Burn Itself Out When They 

And 

Then Satan

Are Completely Consumed! 

Please Let Us By Almighty God's Grace

Change Our Thoughts, Attitudes

And 

Actions 

So That We Are Not Amongst The Forever Lost! 

Peace!

Time Is Made For Change!

There Is No Changing Attitude

After

The Passage Of Your Judgment!

 

Our Father Invests In Our Potential!

When A Company Invests In Its Workers

It Puts Its Money Behind Its Talk! 

It Uplifts Its Employees 

To Elevate The Company In Its Customers' Eyes! 

Our Father In Heaven 

Chose To Personally Invest In Us

His Wayward, Disobedient, Willful

Doubting, Disbelieving Children! 

To Prove Our Father's Great Love

His Only Begotten Son Willingly Offered Himself 

As The Perfect Sacrifice To Ensure That 

We Have A Priceless Education In The School Of Jesus 

With The Holy Spirit As The School Master Without Equal Or Better

The Holy Angels As Premium Body-Guards Excelling In Strength

And 

The Perfect Book Of Truth And Wisdom As Guide Book

Work Book

Road Map 

And 

Eternal Light! 

Graduates Receive A Prepaid, First Class, Ticket

Royal Garments

New Name

New Character

New Body

Gold Crown

Gold Harp

Water Of Life

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

A City Apartment

A Country Home,

An Eternal Education

And 

Face To Face Interaction With Our Father 

And 

Our Benefactor! 

Beloved, 

You Have Access Which Has Reach 

And 

Grasp 

Which Allows You ... By Your Personal Desire 

To Hold Eternity In Your Hand! 

Dare To Walk Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation 

Even If It Means 

Walking On The Path There Alone! 

He Who Invested In Your Future Loves You 

Even With Your Known Ugly Past

So Please Don't Waste Your Opportunity 

To Be Like Jesus Christ, The Lord

The Giving And Forgiving, Kind, King! 

Peace!
