PRAYER: Against GAPS Spirit of Entitlement

Dear Lord, I am suffering
Suffering, suffering from GAPS!
If You, Lord, don't help me
Satan will continue dancing in my lap!

I am looking for Gain - gain in my pocket
I am needing Attention - attention to my myriad needs
I am craving - craving Personal Satisfaction, and
Pride is my passport to satisfying my gluttony and greed!

I see no reason to be humble
I want what I want - Whoever, Whatever, Wherever it be
Pity, Father, that with all of my wanting
It takes suffering to show me that I need Thee!

My Wayward Self has declared: "Independence!"
My Wild Will walks on in its own way
My Willful Way is determined by the immoral majority's wind change
And my life is all bewildering decay and dreadful dismay!

Lord, I know that my life could be better!
Lord, I know that You'd come if I would bend and call
But ... but ... but ... I have a constant companion
Who says that I don't need You because I AM a god!

Lord, I am tired of the testing turmoil
Lord, I am tired of the constant raging torment
Lord, I am giving You my unnecessary permission
To humble me, and to help me quickly repent!

Help me to repent of Irightis
Help me to repent of The Myway Way Always
Help me to cast off Inner Turgid Corruption
Help me to call You instead of believing doing walking as That Spirit says!

Lord, Self Satisfaction isn't working!
Lord, Spirit of Entitlement is giving me the Shakes!
Lord, Gusto for Gain is causing me heartache, and
Pride is making me do always what Satan says!

Lord, I am weak!
Lord, I am have been wayward!
I have wickedly walked in my own corrupted way!
I have planted the wind - I now reap the whirlwind!
Lord, Jesus, help me before Life slips sails slides away!

Lord, I have been trying to remake myself - just not in your image
Entitlement, indeed, has been my one true god
Self-definition has been my golden altar, and
The Oil of Self-satisfaction has marinated me and
I am now fit to be tied and then charbecue broiled!

Oh, Lord, renew, renew, renew, renew me!
Help me to look outward, look upward
Walk onward in and through Your Truth!
Lord, please rebuke, rebuke that Wicked Satan
Let me work walk to for in by You - please soothe!
Help me set to aside Self and Live as one Holy

For now, Lord, now, now, I am speaking, speaking the gospel truth!

I AM The LORD!

I AM The Lord - I Love YOU!
I AM The Good Shepherd - I Will Lead and Feed YOU!
I AM The I AM - I Will Always Be With YOU!
I AM The Lord!

I AM Your Savior - I Died for YOU!
I AM Your Redeemer - I Paid In Blood To Save YOU!
I AM Your Friend - I Walk Beside YOU!
I AM The Lord!

I AM Your High Priest - I Mediate For YOU!
I AM Your King - I Reign Over YOU!
I AM Faithful and True - I Have Made A Home For YOU!
I AM The Lord - Come Share My JOY!

Hold YOU The Fort
Hold Strain - Stand Firm - I AM Guiding
Turn Not Aside - For Friend, Foe, Fate Nor Familiar
Hold On, My Child - I AM Coming
Be It Dawn, Noon, or Set Of Sun!

Whate'er Betide
Let No Man Kill Your Hope Tree -
Water, prune, and manure it!
Be Faithful To My Word
Within It Is Eternal Life
Without Is Death and Destruction!
Hold Fast Your Hope
Let No Man Steal Your Crown!

I AM No Great Pretender
I AM The Lord - Not Man That I Should Lie
I AM The Prince Of Peace - Kind, Loving, Oh, So Gentle
I AM That I AM - Almighty God!

I AM Holy - Walk YOU before Me Holy!
I AM Near!
Come YOU To Me For Shelter
I AM That I AM
The TRUE And LIVING GOD!

And, let's see: 
It is going to be
Exciting and Dangerous
Scary and Wicked
Wrong - not right
Probably Peculiar
Death Defying
Soul Defiling
Faithless
Christ-less

Unwise
Ether-wise
Wasting, Wasteful, and decidedly Worthless!
Join ME!!
I AM Always Available to Yoooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu!!

A SHORT WHILE LATER ...

Correct me!?
For what?
I did nothing wrong!

Reprove ME!
For what??!
Did you teach me something??!

How can you Reprove him to be Corrected if he is not Taught?

How can you Reprove him who has not been Corrected?

How can you Correct him who is not Taught?

Did you teach him something? Anything? Nothing?!

Did he learn anything ... GOOD ... from you?

Well, the Holy Spirit is calling ...

PRAYER: Father, Grant Me Foot and Eye Disease

Father, grant me foot and eye disease 

So that I will know well my priorities

And please keep me humble and praying, I plead!

Father, keep Heaven as Home ever in my eye

And the things of Earth always under my foot

And when the Trumpet Call at last shall sound

Let my joy at Your "Well done!" of Acceptance be heard

As with the Redeemed Brethren on to Glory I bound!
Amen.

You Know The Word!?!

You know the Word of the scriptures
 But do you acknowledge its power to save?
You walk around speaking of its power
But, yet, you to the World are a slave.

Your reasoning with your friends and benefactors
Show the earthy direction of your thoughts!
You are not seeking for God's Kingdom
You want to know what jewel power for you He has bought!

Your motives are suspect - all can see that!
There is no honoring God as you read!
You are looking for personal glory and public honors
And preaching teaching knowing God's word is your steed!

"Come let us reason!" says the Father.
"Let's put our heads together today!
Your sins are the color of scarlett
And I will clean them white if you pray!"

"Study to show yourself approved
A watchman worthy of his pay!
Stop behaving like the eye-servant
Working only when you think I am looking your way!"

"Child, I don't need to look in your direction!
I know the direction of your thoughts!
There is nothing that you can hide from Me
For I hold the reigns of your heart!"

"Now, humble yourself before Me!
Remove the world from your eye!
Playing both sides of the fence, Child
Is going to cause you to spiritually die!"

"Come unto me you who labor
For what is not even gold!
What you have in your grasp is just Pyrite
That which is called fools gold!"

"Cast that dross away from you!
Buy from Me gold that is tried!
Buy eye-salve that will make your sight perfect
And white linen to your nakedness hide!"

"Trust my Word!
Heed my Law!
Follow my direction!
Lead, follow or step aside!
If you lead you are the Master
Who is nothing but a blind guide!"

"If you follow Me, you follow Perfection
Perfect Love which casts out your fears!
Yield to Me - My Burden is easy
And My Yoke is light as My Holy Word says!"

"If, however, you choose to walk in your own way
Step aside - I am coming -You won't know the Day!
And I'm not taking any prisoners
It's going to be a remove debris and burn day!"

"My Children that say:

"Yes, we are here, Father!"

Will be sitting pretty that Day:
Immortality
Wings
A Kingdom
And Eternity will be the length of their days!"

"There's a choice!
Make you your decision!
Don't just speak -
Acknowledge the Power of My Word!
If not on the Day of My Coming you will just be fodder - That IS My Final Word!"

Choose you this day whom you will serve!

Do The Truth!!

I know the Truth!
I speak of the Truth!
I walk in the Truth!
I tell the Truth!
I don't sell the Truth!
But how do I DO the Truth?

Truth is a Living Being
By which men are sanctified
For the Word of the Lord is Living
And THAT no man can deny!

If Truth is alive - it is breathing
Walking, talking, teaching - I am sure!
And those His companionship seeking
Won't off to sin be retreating!

To do the Truth one needs Grace
And New Mercy and Love - don't forget Hope
For without these Constant Companions
We will be sniffing Sweet Sin and doing Devil Dope!

I have decided that I like love Truth
In person in practice ... every which way
So my intention is to apply to My Jesus
To keep draw me in to His Light day after day.

To Do Truth is like make wearing a garment:

You need fabric, a pattern, weights, scissors, pins, chalk, tape, needle and thread
And you need someone for whom to make the garment custom
Or it won't get over their little big head!

I went with my fabric to the Custom Tailor - Just Jesus
He wore a designer garment I really liked - Righteousness By Divine
I wanted it - he said he could make me a replica of it
But he said my fabric wouldn't work! No way! Rain nor shine!!

I agreed with his reason for not using my fabric - it had numerous slubs and color defects
And watched as he rolled out his bolt of cloth
On the table on the cross -
He said he was going to cut it on the bias
So that no drapeability would be lost!

That fabric was red thick like blood and fluid with ... like ... water
It was living ... it seemed standing - it had a tone
And when he laid out the pattern - Glorious Salvation
I knew that garment was mine! Mine, alone!

He weighted the fabric with curious three nails
That formed an up down pyramid
Not the typical base all for top one formation
BUT bottom for top all - I felt expectant consternation!?

He measured me - by Eye - to determine my size
To know how much fabric ... work ... was needed
He marked out the parts with the pencil he called Truth
And he talked as he worked amazingly deftly!

He said something strange!
He said his scissors had a name - Redemption
Which cut out the waste - he called it Sin
The soon garment quickly revealing
And then He put the pieces together with his favorite silk
Conscience Conviction and Repentance quilting pins!

I got up to leave him to his ministrations for
He didn't need me getting in his way
But he said:
"Stay a while! 
I work slow fast meticulously every day!"

Something happened to me as I watched Him work
Miracles on some obzocky pieces of fabric!
What I thought wouldn't align
He pinned, tucked, eased and realigned
As my garment was lovingly structured and refined!

At one point he pulled a thread and it snagged on a pin
And I jumped screamed yelped shuddered:
"Oh dear! Oh my! Ouch! Ouch!"
He looked at me kindly and said ever so softly
"Everybody says that when they sit on my Needing To Be Saved and Redeemed Today couch!"

He sewed and he sang
We talked - his phone rang
He touched my hand as he answered His Call
Electricity ran through, and it was then that I knew
That that was the Spirit's Gospel Call to let my self be made anew!

Suddenly, my garment was done!
He said it was blessed work and he loved to see it done
And placed his Righteousness over my old clothes!
My old garments dropped off!
His garment enfolded me - it wasn't cloth
It was Living Blood that draped enfolded me
And bore lifted me high and aloft!

So ... what can I say?
I wore Righteousness from that day
For the Blood had permeated to my soul
The Lord worked His work
My deeds are on display as I walk in ... toward ... His Light
In the Straight and Narrow Pilgrim Stranger's Holy Way!

To DO Truth 

Is To

Live the Word 

And 

Walk As Jesus did!

Because You Live In Him

You Willingly Follow His Law 

And 

He 

Effectively Leads Your Mortal Life 

To 

His Glorious Life!

Choose The Good!!

I do not choose to do evil
It comes natural to me!
However, when I do good
That is a decision you see!

Do good, and it will attend you
Do evil and it will follow your days
For there is a coming Judgment
At the closing of The Days!

Good you, Bad me
It does not matter who
For at the sounding of the Trumpet
There is going to be a hullabaloo!

Graves wherever placed will be opened
And those who followed Christ
Shall in perfected glory rise
And the living lovers of the Master
Shall join in and wing their way to Paradise!

But woe, woe, woe to the unbeliever
The craven, the licentious, the murderer, the liar
They're those who spit on the belief in The Savior
And now find that He is not fake nor Christian conspire.

"He's real! He did come!
And we are saved not!
Hills, rocks, mountains fall on us
We need to hide from the Face of Him who sits on the Throne
And from the Lamb, the Conquering King, who's taking His Bride Home!"

Stop, look and listen
Think before you speak
Look right look left before the road crossing
Were all cautions into our heads our parents leaked!

Choose your friends
Love your brother
Test the waters, and the Spirits
Were cautions also on the ear
And you will agree with whom you are waking
Was a warning that many parents stated, lived and shared.

But, woe, woe, whoa
Wonder of wonders
Many chose to live and love
And did what the heart, eyes and body on them shoved
With the end result turning out a disaster
For following Crowley, Blavatsky, LeVeigh and the Demon's laughter.

So. here, for a good source of caution
I point you to your decision, now, here, today
Get Real Wisdom, Real Knowledge and Real Understanding
And don't make a decision that costs what you can't begin to pay!

Heaven and hell are real places
Jesus and Satan are likewise real
And choosing - it IS a choice - the wrong leader for this life's journey
At the end is going to cause you to scream and rail!

Jesus proves He loves you!
Satan provides things for you to love!
Jesus offers you Powerful Peace now - and Eternal Possessions hereafter
Satan cheats you of your Peace now  - and gives you a basket of water to hold for later!

Lying laughter now, truthful tears later.
Truthful tears now, honest laughter later.
There is a choice!

Choose you this day whom you will serve!
As for me - every man and woman and child must decide for themselves -
I - come Hell and High water
Will - by God's Everlasting Grace
Serve the Lord, Jesus Christ, so that I will be saved.

Keep your Beads and Baubles
Trinkets and Thorns
Constant Cavorting
Your life stuffed with corns
Just Give me My Jesus
Faithful is He
I need no artificial entertainments
To make me laugh and act giddy
For Jesus gives me a meek and quiet spirit
So that I can walk in faith, steady
No gamble, no quake
Sweet life now
Later Fire and brimstone lake
Burdens now, Blessings later.
Choose the Choice that makes you Chosen!
And You will This Cruel World
Have surely forsaken!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love ... Lifted me!

I offended Him!
He gave me His Peace!

I looked away from Him!
He offered me His Grace!

I ignored His Love!
He reached for me ... in Mercy!

I turned away from Him
And started to sink into the grave!

LOVE lifted me up!
Bright Light shone in the Darkness
LOVE comforted me -
And blanketed me with His Grace
Tied on with Hope
Trimmed well with Faith unto Glory
Sewn with the thread called Sacrifice
Laid out with Hands calloused and
Broken by cruel nails!
Face punctured and etched with His LOVE
Side riven through Great LOVE - Water of Life Blood pouring forth
Feet torn and holed out
With God's Eternal LOVE!

God's LOVE is Real
Rewarding
Sustaining
Uplifting
Concerned
Soul comforting and
Renewing ... me
Unto His Heavenly Glory!

God's LOVE is Abiding
And no devil can ever take it away!

HAPPY SABBATH + Lord, Send Out The Talking Donkey!

Lord, send out The Talking Donkey
To block my wicked descent
Into evil days and apostate ways!
Lord, expose my sin
And, please help me repent!

Father, show me if I am following the multitude
Walking in sins wicked way and eating devil stew!
Please open the mouth of the donkey
Before the Angel has to unsheath his sword and run me through!

Lord, I have me an old donkey
But all He does is brush squeeze my leg against the wall
So I know I need The Talking Donkey
To check turn me from a terminal fall!

My current donkey like he just a little bit foolish
As all he does is just eat and loud bray
But sometimes he braying does be sounding
Liken he sending up a faithful fretful humble pray.

I don't know who he could be praying for
He better say a pray for he self
'Cause if he hurt my foot leg again
He head gine be mounted on the north wall
On the "This Be Bare Ignorance" shelf!

Lord, I know my eyes are often greedy
And my stomach slow to get to the full
But I am willing to listen
So let Your donkey speak clearly
So nothing he say can be misunderstood!

I listened to my old donkey braying this morning
And it really sound like he saying he prayers
For I heard him calling my name, Lord, I sure - for I heard him say it real plain!

That donkey said:

"Lord, help my old Patty
She staring down the barrel of a gun
She listening to Balak O'brien
But she ain't know he is that wicked Beelzebub!" 

"Lord, Patty is proud and often foolish
She wants to get into the "I Got This Club"
But she don't know that club is full of devils
Who wage war on the soul
Through free spending and idol-worshiping love!"

"Lord, have mercy on my Patty
She don't understand what I say when I bray
She thinks that when I squeeze hurt her leg
That I foolish just wanting to play!"

"Patty don't understand that I'm seeing
That Angel blocking the entrance to 
'Sinners' Welcome' - Licensed Whores Available In Store!"

"The sign my Patty sees is very different 
From the one that I can see real plain,
Patty's sign is covered up covert
And she doesn't see that the Dragon's body
Is rewriting the come-welcome sign:

"Sinners' Welcome - Licensed Store
Whores Reclaimable
Work Available"

"Lord, please help my Patty! 
Give me Your Voice today as I pray
Please don't let Patty continue on this way
Open her ears, Lord, even as I bray
Please, Lord!
Let Dear Patty hear what I say as I pray!
BrraaayyyMen!?!!"

Lord, have mercy!
De donkey does talk!
Lord, have  'is mercy!
He talks! He talks!!

Thank you, Lord, for the blessing
Now, now, I can see
That You, Lord, God Almighty
Really, really, looking out for me!

Donkey, Dear donkey, I love you!!

Braaaayyy!!

There are no Prostitutes in Paradise!

Heed the Donkey squeeze! 

Turn your back to the breeze! 

Gird your loins!

Pull up your sleeve, and pray:

"Lord, help me, please

To walk the straight and narrow way every day!"

Dear Teacher Educator:
Please Get A Grip On Yourself!
Give The Great God A Whirl

Will See Noticeably
From toe to top, see
That we are God’s creation
Not the head-man's lying, craven, scientific fluidity!

The Plow and The Altar

DO YOU KNOW 

WHERE

YOU WILL be called 

to SERVE 

THE LORD when the Testing Time comes?

Red Bullock - he was standing
Ready to work as called
He stood betwixt two stations
Plow and Altar proud!

His preparation had been perfect
He was trained unto the Plow
But he was also without blemish
And would make God’s Altar proud!

My friend, this is a metaphor
Of what all Christians should be
For the Father He has promised
To provide strength as our day shall be!

Our stance - we who are called Christians
Should be such that called wherever it be
We should without fear or failing say
Lord, I am ready! Sendest thou me!

Let us, therefore, get ourselves ready
Let us let God guide our way
Let us let God be the Master
Directing us along this life’s highway.

Let us let God teach us daily lessons
Let us learn and not shirk or turn away
Let us let God’s Holy Spirit
Comfort and heal us as we follow God’s Straight Way.

Pray - not pontification
Pray - not sway and walk away
Lead - by God’s Good example
Follow - Jesus on The King’s High Way!

Dear Ones,

The day is fast approaching when we will receive our call to serve our Lord.

Will the call send us to plow the field one last time to tell of God's Love and Faithfulness and coming glory OR will the call to service send us to the Altar of Sacrifice?

No one knows where his call will require him to serve, therefore, let us all prepare, prepare, and pray.

Let us girt our loins with the gospel of truth, and let us, by God's ever loving Grace, set out on the path to Glory knowing that our God will give to us what strength we will need for the way we must walk  ON THE DAY  in which we require same.

Trust God!

Love, Live, and Teach Truth!

Keep your eye on The Prize, and

And let your life be your testimony!

Glory Awaits!

By Your Grace, Lord

Through our holding

To the Faith of Jesus Christ

And by the Covering of 

The Blood of Jesus' Sacrifice

Please let the passing of the Coming Test 

Be our testimony 

Which will lead some poor 

Sin-sick soul to accept

Our Beloved Jesus 

And put on His Righteousness

And press on to Glory! 

Lord, help us to bear much fruit! 

Amen.

Good Evil!!

Evil! Evil!
Ooh, such Evil!
What is Evil?
Evil is Good!

Good! Good!
What is Good?
Good is Evil!
Remember the Flood!

Celebrate! Celebrate!
We must Celebrate!
Who should we Celebrate?
Celebrate the Wicked!
Wrong Is Right!
Understood?

Persecute! Persecute!
We must Persecute!
Persecute who?
Persecute the Faithful!
They are Puny!
They can be Withstood!

And ... then ...

Desolation!
Desolation!
Desolation is Coming!
Why is Desolation coming?
The Nation has Caved!
They’ve Chosen the Evil!
They’ve Chosen to be Sin’s Slave!
They’ve Legislated Morality!
Your Conscience is no longer Your Own!
Liberty of Religion is Lost from Christ’s Cross!
A Man is Your Savior!
A Man is Your King!
A Man is The Soul’s Director
And He says what you can Sing!
Jesus IS Dead!
A Man is The Head
Of The Church of The Bridegroom
Follow him or you are Dead!!

BUT...

If you Trust In King Jesus
If You look to God’s Right Hand
You will see that Jesus IS there Standing
A Gold Scepter In His Hand
He has received His Kingdom
He has pleaded Faith’s case
His Book is in Order
He is coming to Face
The Blasphemer
The Defiler
The Liar
The Thief
Satan and The False Prophet
And That Wicked Beast
With The Sword of The Word
Two edges honed sharp
Destruction for All Sinners
Comes like the song from a Lark!

No Mercy!
No Mercy!
Wrath is poured out real strong
No diluted solution
For you to drink down
Is poured into The Cup - not fancy goblets and flutes
So drink it - be brave
You’re simply receiving
The Bitters you gave!

Pity, you didn’t believe
That Christ Jesus could Save
For now He can’t save You
But Me - I was brave!

I heeded the Present Truth Message
I Believed
I gave Praise
I studied My Bible
I Walked The Way Paved
I Held On To Jesus
I Prayed and I Plowed
And Bless God - for The Deliverer
Is Delivering Me Now!

I am getting My Reward!
You are getting Your Reward too!
Pity that yours is painful - I don't rejoice over you!
No one can help you!
You choose Evil - not Good!
IF ONLY You had Believed
And On The Rock Of Ages Stood!!

Rooaarrrrr!!

Satan can no longer accuse the Brethren before God
And this has him mighty mad!
He now acts the Roaring Lion
And he is hungry, real, real bad!

He shakes his head from side to side
He stares at his victim and, oh boy!
Hear the roar, and if you're not covered by The Blood
You are going to end up in His meat store!

Satan sells to some out for knowledge
Satan sells to some out for fame
Satan sells some on horse racing
And Satan sells many on glories and double gain!

Satan sells some "The Package Deal" for which they choose "No Escape!"

The trifecta of the 3B's
Beauty, Brains and Bottom
Prove irresistible to many
And so their living soul they cast down.

Some may look like the buggy lamp
But to their shareholders they look like the moth's bright flame!
Some acquire their beauty by the wielding of a sinful knife, and
Others were born with "The Face!"

But then, we see bright Beauty has a two-bit Brain and a bare Bottom
Bold Brain has no fancy Bottom nor brilliant Beauty
And big Bottom has banal Beauty and borderline Brain
But they all have one thing in common - a craving for what is not theirs!
They all want all that is visible and viewable
Even if it leaves them in Satan's chains.

And then, there are those who are ordinary, man or woman
Ordinary as a chair
Who for want of what "those people" have
Are willing for themselves to be enslaved:

Rooaarrrr!!

Yessss?!

Rooaarrrr, Rooaaarrrrr!!??!!

Money!
Power!
Position!
Reach !
Grasp!
Hold!
Companions!
Illusions!
Delusions!
Ministry!
Prophecy!
Healing!
Relationships!
Associations!
Growth!
Gain!
Fame!

RrroooooooaaaAAAARRRRRRRR!!???!!

Yezzz!! Alllll!!

Roar Rooooaaaaarrrrrr??

My Sooouullll!?!!?!!

Roarrr, Roooaaarrr, Roooaaaarrrrrr!!!

You sure??!?!?!!!

RoooaaaarrrrrrRoooaaaarrrrrrRoooaaaarrrrrr!!!

Okay!!! It's yours!!!!

Deal...!
Death...!!
Damned...!!!

Dear Ones:

There are many people who honestly believe that their worship of Satan is right because that is what they have been taught. No deals made - they just worship. These persons are those we still have an opportunity to reach through the Prayers and Pleadings of the Household of Faith  and the working of The Holy Spirit. 

If we pray without ceasing, by God's Grace, and with His Mercy they, too, may come to enjoy the rights and privileges of inheritance with King Jesus in His soon coming Kingdom. Let us pray -unceasingly - for their repentance, relief and release. 

The rest - those bold and wickedly unrepentant sinners - are in God's hands. He will have Mercy.

The Accuser!

On a certain day, in assembly, Satan came before the Almighty Presence.

In abject fear, he says:

"Greetings, God!"

In unveiled contempt, he says:

"Jesus."

Satan does not even acknowledge the working of the Holy Spirit but, instead, screams:

"Accusation! Accusation!!

"STATE YOUR CASE!"

"Those humans you created believe in ME! 
They belong to ME. 
I AM their GOD! 
I give them toys and earthly joys 
And they love anything that cloys and annoys!
And they are MIIINNNNEEEEE!
They kill Your prophets!
They love lies, and deceits, and quarrels a fair treat, and any ways that cause decay!
And they love, Love, LOVE MEEEE!!
Give ME what is MINE!!"

"Father. I love them."

"They despise your book of rules.
They prefer my style and live by my favorite rule "What I want I chose!"

"Father. I love them."

"They love the idols You hate! 
They belong to ME!!"

"Father. I love them."

"I want themmmm! They are Miinnneeeee!"

"Jesus. They are Ours. Redeem them."

"But they are are greedy!?!"

"Jesus. Bring them back."

"But they are scornful and spiteful!?!"

"Jesus. Bring them back."

"But they are murders and thieves and liars, and whoremongers and, and ...!?!"

"Jesus. Bring them back."

"BUT, BUT, THEY HATE YOOOUUUU!!?!!"

"Father. I bought them back."

"NOOOOOoooOOOOOoooooOOOOO!!!"

"SATAN! 
IT IS FINISHED!
CASE CLOSED!"

Of Sin and its myriad disease

Pray a prayer in the morning
Pray a prayer at noon and at night
Pray a prayer for Jesus' help
To Satan and his minions daily fight

Pray a prayer of thanksgiving
Pray a prayer for keen sight
Pray a prayers for eyes for only Jesus
And Satan won't find in you delight

Pray a prayer against The Predator
Pray a prayer for the lame
Pray a prayer for assistance
That Satan wouldn't find you good game

Pray a prayer and bless Jesus
Pray a prayer and Bless God
Pray a prayer and Bless The Holy Spirit
And tell them you know that Satan is a fraud

Pray a prayer to the Father
Pray a prayer in the Name of The Son
Pray a prayer under the Agency of The Holy Spirit
And soon ... you will be flying with the Saints through the clouds!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: It's Eve's Fault! OR, Is It? + A Personal Puzzler

I love Him because He loved me first
I will live because He's alive
No matter how you look at it
Because of me Jesus was crucified!

Jesus had no reason for repentance
None for sorrow
None for blame
But on that accursed blessed day on Earth
He suffered shame for my rebirth!

When I was young I used to say that I wished that I could see Eve, for it was because of her Living Sin that I was dressed all way down past my knees!

I did not stop to consider that if Adam had denounced Eve, I could have been living in His Presence!

I thought of how to "slap" her face for all the problems she's caused me, for wearing clothes in Summer time is egregious - that really fried me!

The years go by in sickening haste
And anger at Eve acquires a whole new dimension
For it was her folly and fault I see Do say
That causes Sin to be my constant attention invention contention!

New ways to Sin, to lie and cavort were always on my front burner
Look sharp, my friend
For I must tell that this was so until I met The Master
Jesus Christ The Lord - My True Friend!

Nothing much to recommend the day
Ordinary to start until it then went into decay
From bad to worse, with a glance or two at the mind's hearse
And that was when it became apparent:"Girl! Put that "car" in reverse!"

My profligate life was mine to own, no more at Eve could I throw stones
Every mark on Christ was mine alone
I put Him on the Cross
For personal ME He'd atoned!

Dear Ones,

Adam and Eve committed the Sin of Disobedience  ... but it had a firm foundation:

Eve saw that the Forbidden Fruit was pretty. (Lust of the Eyes)
Eve heard that the Forbidden Fruit was good for her to eat. (Lust of the Flesh)
Eve heard that she could be as wise as her Creator. (The Pride of Life)
Adam chose to eat the Forbidden Fruit because Eve tempted him with it (Lust of The Eye)
Adam chose to disobey God because he didn't want to lose Eve's companionship (Lust of The Flesh)
Adam chose to believe Eve's story of acquiring God's hidden wisdom (The Pride of Life)

Eve's eyes were bigger than her stomach and wrote a check she could not personally cash.

Eve dismissed her faith in her Creator when she believed what Satan told her - believing Satan equals doubting God.

Eve's Sin was committed on the heel of a Lie
Which had acquired legs on the wings of Doubt and Coveteousness
Which had a heart fed by Greed through the veins of Hate
Nurtured by a Vain Vision of satisfying the Vain Hunger to acquire God's Glory and Worship.

So much for one teensy, weentsy lie.

Sin is never what it appears to be: eating a fruit caused banishment, released evil, actuated death and destruction, exposed laborious work and physical and spiritual pain, and cost God the Life of Jesus Christ, and more.

Let us remember that when temptation comes it very rarely is about what is actually showing its face.

Pray ... without ceasing, and remember that Satan will tempt you if you enter the arena of your weakness BUT, BUT, BUT, he cannot make you commit the Sin!

Again, pray without ceasing!

Here is

A Personal Puzzler:

1. Jesus died once for all!
Did the Godhead say Jesus is accepted assigned to die because of
One Sin for One Man OR
All Sin for One Man OR
Every Individual Sin for Every Individual Man for All Recorded Time?

2. If Jesus Christ died for the Whole Wide World, how many Sins did He pay for IF every human - by virtue of Sin - has at least a Legion of Sin?

3. Categorize wise humanity's idea of Sin, i.e., big, little, black, white, good, bad, evil, trifling, etc.. against God's clear definition. Which Sin do you feel it is okay to commit tomorrow?

4. What killed Jesus?

5. Is Jesus "really" alive to/for you, today? How?

6. If Jesus - having been crucified for Sin - is alive today, why is there still rampant Sin in the world?

7. If there is still Sin in the world, does this not mean we have to crucify Jesus afresh?
a. If Jesus is to be crucified afresh, are we personally offering assistance preparing for the execution?

8. If a person does not believe in Jesus, does that mean that
(a) Jesus did not die for that person's sins and that
(b) That person - in choosing to be their own surety against Final Death - will have the opportunity to offer a creditable, effective, case-winning, self-defense when the Judgment is called, and that they may win their case?

HAPPY SABBATH + The Door To Forever!

The door was ... wide open
Inviting who would to ... enter in!
Everybody before him had just ... walked in
But he ... knocked?!

My response was immediate
My pulse began to race
And if you would believe this
There was a blush upon my face!

Hmmm
This is different ... but why
This is strange ... and how
Memory is ... awakened
I know him ... somehow
I have met him before but ... where
Were we lovers ... before
I should know.

I look at his face and ...
Oh, yes!
I know Him ... Immanuel a/k/a Jesus
He is the One I truly loved ... but
He is the One I truly needed ... but
He will give me tomorrow ... but
He erases the past ... but
He gives ... peace ... but
He provides ... rest, but
He wanted
Oh, how He wanted ...!
He wanted me!
ALL ... OF ... ME!

When we had been together ... before
He had wanted me ... not my offered 99%
He wanted all ... for that is what He had spent
No half measures
No momentary shares
Not just tonight
Not maybe tomorrow
He wanted my all
He caused me much sorrow
Yet gave me such joy!
With my soul in His heart
My heart in His hand
My body in His keeping
The world I was defeating and ... yet
I gave Him up and ... regretted it
Every ... day ... since ... then!
Now ... He ... is .... HERE ... again!?!
In my personal, private, room
We are alone
No interruptions
We can talk ... freely
Of life
Of LOVE
Of longing
Of neglect
Of regret
Of sorrows
Of shame
Of changes
Of SECOND CHANCES
Of HOPE
Of ... FORGIVENESS
Of ... ACCEPTANCE
Of ... union ... reunion
Of ... COMMUNION
Of ... narrow roads
Of ... wide travels
Of ... trials
Of ... tribulations
Of ... TEMPTATIONS
Of ... GUARANTEES
Of ... HOME
Together
Forever
In  ... rapturous ... Bliss
He asked for ... my heart
I gave Him ... my hand
He asked ... for my hand
And I gave Him ... My Hurts
My Hopes
My Fears
My Dreams ... and My Heart!
My ALL ... for His ALL and ALL ... FOREVER!

Around The Truth?!

Today I found out something
That made me feel real bad!
I liked being "around the truth"
And that, of course, makes Jesus sad.

Now, if I had been "in" the truth
My life would be so peaceful
But being around the truth
Allowed me to act wholly deceitful.

I put on my "stepping out in-the-truth" clothes
I put on my "walking in-the-truth" shoes
I put on my "showing myself to be in-the-truth" face
But I did not ingest the truth - nor did I seek its embrace.

I spoke great words of truth to all
I sang the songs of truth for all
I even went down by the market stalls
And that is when I had a bad taste of bitter gall.

Old Delbert was a simple man
Who knew His God and His Salvation Plan
And when he asked me to stay for a span
I should have run for he proceeded my guilty conscience-flame to fan.

Old Delbert lovingly tore me to shreds
Asking me to believe in God and not only with my head
He strongly, gently, pushed, and urged
Me to stop trusting in God by using the Bell curve.

Oh, dear, I said within my mind
If he wasn't so nice I would have cussed out his behind
For denying me my most sacred cows
Lip service, good works but no holy unto God vows.

What more does this God want from me?
I already give him my time and money!
Shouldn't I have something for myself
For after working hard I need to set me a spell!?

I must have me some "Me-time!"
No sharing, no touching, no thoughts
Of others - nor God - just leave me alone!
I gotta have me a gossip! Where my telephone?

Well, I had me my good old gossip, see
And that is when I realized that Grandma FiFi
Was writhing on the floor and reaching out for me
And that is when I screamed out for God
And realized all along that ...I ... had ... been ... a real fraud
For I wanted God to do me a good
Because I wanted, no,  needed it - not because I soundly stood
Upon His Words of Life
But because - for good or ill - I was under life's knife
And needed a friend - The True Friend - God - He
Who would do me a solid even though I was ... ungodly!

My heart in my hand!
My head in the can!
I finally realized that God ain't a Man!
Denial, disrespect, dishonor to Him I gave
But now that I'm in trouble
I want Him to save me
From hurt, grief, destruction
And I saw myself for a slave
To life, to time - I could bondage escape
If only the Truth wasn't just on the page!

Lord, help me to stand!
Please, please, forgive me!
I now understand!
Have Mercy!

Dear Ones,

Even though we take Jesus Christ for granted, He welcomes our Repentant, Humble, Sorrowful, Broken, Hearts to His Everlasting AND Forgiving Arms!

He is waiting! Call on Him! He will answer YOU!!

NWO Elite?!

I am searching the Web
And all I read about is The Elite
And some New World Order
Which smell like they're longing for their coming defeat!

When I think of the elite
I think of those  who give of their best
To help, to teach, to love mankind
Not those who behave like card-carrying
Judas Goats covered in disease-carrying pests!

There is nothing I read to recommend these persons
Who believe that the Earth is too small
To accommodate both the poor and the monied -
So one will have to get off! Pushed that is!

The poor, the hungry, the jobless
The fatherless, the baby-makers and
Those with any dye on their skin
Are to be considered anathema
And used as fire wood in a brick kiln!

Worthy! Not Worthy! Unworthy!
The Worthy know that they are worthy!
The Worthy say the unworthy are not worthy
Of the air space and resources they use
And Worthy must fumigate
The Planet of the vermin and its expense
Because it adds nothing to their pool
Of money and mansions, and machinations
So they the Earth must re-tool!

The Lord, in His Mercy
Provides the Plan of Redemption
But Elitists who made themselves be special
Have machinated on World Domination!

God made Man to worship Him
Man denies God and worships himself
And is totally in love with the call to
“Do what thou wilt!”

What is so elite about a self-made god?
Nothing that I can see or understand.
Let me stick with Jesus Christ, the Maker
And not fall for the ramblings of some faker
Who can't stop himself from visiting the undertaker and
Who will soon be dropped
Into the Lake of Brimstone and Fire!

Don't Be Fooled:

These NWO Elite are neither wise nor omnipotent

and they will be humbled!

Jesus Christ Reigns and Rules Forever!

Deal With That!
