HAPPY SABBATH + Until The Day: Obedience

I am a Sinner ...

Jesus Christ called to Me!
I answered: "Yes?"
He said to Me: "Come to Me. Answer My Behest!"

I answered Jesus.
I asked: "What for?"
He said to Me: "Walk through My Life. I'm The Door!"

I asked: "What happens when I walk through The Door?"
Will I be happy?
Will I get bored?
Is there any one there to call my friend?
What will I eat?
Are You Pretend?
How long do I stay?
What shall we talk about?
Are you Good for real?
Or are You just a talk that's all about?
What do you do? All day? At night?
Do you wear pajamas?
Do you have teeth?
Do you bite?
Where did you come from?
Who is your Mommy? Your Dad?
Do you break things when you are angry?
Do you get drunk when you are mad?
Do you have a wife?
Do you love her? Do you provide?
Or do you spend your money on race horses?
On Chef's Pride?
Can I trust You?
Are You Honest?
Are You Faithful?
Are You True?
I don't have a good Earth Father?
Can You be My Father True Blue?
Can I tell You My Secrets?
Can I share with You My Fears?
Can I have a clothing allowance?
Or will my clothing have patches and tears?
I know I ask a lot of questions. I am distrustful of Gift Horse claims.
I have been burdened and beaten.
I have been bothered and scared.
Can You protect me?
Can You hide
Me from the terrors that broadside?
I have no good examples
Of what a real father should be
So would you please answer my questions?
Answer them True! I will surely then follow thee!

I am a Sinner ... Saved By Grace.

Jesus calls to Me.
I answer: Yes, Lord!
Is there work for Me to do today?
I am willing, Dear Lord, please send ME!
I am not afraid to work - It is Day! I faithfully pray!

Jesus sends me out on daily missions.
What the day's work holds - I don't know
But I remember Jesus' Answers
When He wanted me to enter 
The God Family Abode!

Jesus answered all my many questions
He left not one answer out
He drew me to Him most gently
And sang Me His Heart's lullaby:

Come unto Me you who labor

Come unto me! Come! Find your Rest!

Cast your care upon Me

I died that You will be blessed!

I give a burden to each of My Children

The faithful ask me to help them hold strain

They learn that I am meek and so gentle

I AM not self-seeking nor profane!

I give to each as his faith garners

I polish each to finest purest Gold

I give to each a bright white garment

That shall not ever grow old!

Each of My children is promised

Eternal Life in The Fold

Nevermore to be bothered

By sin sorrow, shame, hate nor

Feeling Getting Being old.

The River of Life is there for My children

My Face is theirs to behold

My hands are there for the holding

My heart is where You'll never know cold!

Companions are Angels excelling

In strength - they accompany You life long

The Tree of Life bears fruit for the taking

Then there is Praise

Light to Light - no night long!

Learning is Yours - I AM teaching

Laughter is Yours - I AM Love

Comfort is Yours - I AM Salvation

No evil can enter God's Gate Door to Everlasting Love!

He said ...

Until The Day Of My Returning

Occupy! Work till I come!

Give no place to The Evil

Work! Work ... Until I come!

So, today I am on a mission

Of Peace, Hope, Inspiration

Of Love

To tell #TheJoyOfSalvation

To encourage all to answer Jesus - He IS Faithful

He Is God's True, Abiding, Holy Love.

*\\*****//*

Dear Ones:

There is a time to ask questions.

There is a time to follow orders! The time to obey!

We, as Christians, have long had the ignoble propensity to question God ... even after we have found The Answer.

This is not the time for "Questions - Just Because!"

By now, we should be asking "OURSELVES" whether there is anything, something, something else, anything else that we may do to further The Work Of The Kingdom.

Please do not let anyone discourage you because you lack "paper credentials!" That does not make you unfit for service! 

The Holy Spirit Teaches.

I am now at the point where I sincerely believe that we are better off without these "credentials" because they are causing many to disbelieve Truth, to Doubt God, and to Call Jesus a Good Man, and The Holy Spirit, a Thought! Lord, help us?!

God is not desirous that any soul should perish, so he is calling ... the Saved to Work ... the Sinner to Repentance ... All to Salvation!

He IS Calling! Will you Answer OR Will You Wonder AND Wander Away?

Many Are Called!

Many Will Answer "A CALL" but not ... The Call Of Jesus!

Few Will Be Chosen.

Remember ... God uses the simple things of this world to confound the wise!

Jesus Uses The Willing

Not Those Who Are Just Chillin'

Get HOT!

Be COLD! 

Don't be LUKEWARM!

You will surely lose your Soul!

We are asked to Trust God!
Believe God!
Pray Without Ceasing!
Bless God!
Live For God!
Reason With God!
He never, however, says to Question His Sovereign Will.

Remember ... Obedience IS better than Sacrifice. (1 Samuel 15:22-23)

BJ

The Great Pretender!

Today I had Two Customers
Walking in my Heart Stomach Shop
They were paying customers
And had lots to talk shout about!

The One was Happy En Jolly
The Other Rabid Tu Hate
It was hard for me to understand
How could these two be out on a date?

Happy En Jolly ate quite sparingly!
She was grateful easy going!
She graciously accepted her offerings -
Her heart seemed easily satisfied!

Not so Rabid Tu Hate, The Great Pretender
Who ate and ate and ate
And ate and ate voraciously
But got no bigger
No matter what how much how late he ate!

He ate his last landlord
Out of his house and his family's land
Out of real love and deep affection
Out of "God Sends A Helping Hand!"

And ... NOW

This Scavenging Glutton
Had taken up residence in My Heart Stomach Shop
And was demanding of dainty morsels
For Things which recipes I had not!

I didn't have a recipe for Contention!
I didn't have a recipe for Station Stature Elevate!
I didn't have a recipe for Grudge My Brother!
I didn't have a recipe for What An Idiot! She's a Flake!

I had no recipe for Dodge Dog Biscuits!
I had no recipe for Brazen Body Bakes!
I had no recipe for Craven Cookies!
And definitely no recipe for Lousy Loser Meringue Cake!

I was now becoming quite angry!
I didn't want to manufacture Unkind Swill!
I didn't want to make Marbled Madness!
And I didn't want to anything to do with Deadly Dongle Dangles and 
Mismatched Mates Gooeyness Mess!

I politely asked to be excused
I went into My Quiet Rest Place
And, to God, I beseechingly humbly prayed
In the Blessed Name of My Jesus
With The Holy Spirit holding sway
I rejoined That Full In-Swing Battle -
I laid my Jesus on The Skirmish Line:

I Poured Forth 

The Heart of The Believer

And Mixed In 

Strong Angel from The Divine!

I Then Added 

Jesus for Joy - This Battle was Hopping -

Rabid Tu Hate started Acting Like He Had A Hot Behind!

THEN ...

I added 

With God There Is No Fear

And

God's Grace Is Sufficient For Me!

And 

When I Added 

Peace Passing All Understanding

Rabid Tu Hate had Left Black Smoke in his Broken Chair!

Happy Jolly and I had a good hug laugh cry!
We were Delirious with Know Ye Real Joy!
Jesus Christ - The Sage of The Ages
Had Represented! And ...
I know Love
I know Peace
I really, really know Jesus ... for Joy!

Dear Ones:

Give no place to Rabid Hate UNLESS ... It is Rabid Hatred of Sin and Satan! Then ... you can let it ALL hang out!!

Hate hates Joy!

Hate hates Hope!

Hate hates Happy!

Hate hates Peace!

Hate Hates Love!

Hate helps Hell!

Inhale: "Love For Jesus!"

Exhale: "Cruel Hate!"

Give Satan a Black Eye -

He's got an Eternal Death Date!

WISDOM: KNOW What You ... GROW!

WHATEVER you plant will ... grow!
You will not know where it will go
But you can be assured - God knows
Be careful what you sow.

I planted me a little - and rare - seed
I watered it - it grew
It picked up speed
And before I knew it
It had grown leaves
And beautiful buds of its own ... with seeds.

The birds of the air
Took up seats in the leaf chairs
They picked on the seeds - it was their caviar
And before I knew it
My grand-seeds were deposited - near and far.

One day, I said a verse!
It was really a curse!
I thought nothing of it!
I'd often repeated it!
It was just words
Said in anger and oft in jest!
I thought nothing of It ... until I heard it used to ... "bless!?"

I uttered a prayer!
A beautiful prayer!
Calling on Jesus
To fix Me and to undo
The damage I caused by my callous mien!
He said to Me:
"Once done, Sin cannot be undone."

I learned a hard lesson on that day!
Oh, how I repented! - I still had to pay!
Forgiveness is sweet!
Remembrance is bitter - sharp knives cut swift and clean and deep!

I sought from then
To carefully sow
Seeds of Gladness
Hope, Love, and to show
All that behold My Garden - how it grows
That good seed can't produce corrupt fruit
No, that does not flow!
Good seed - Good Fruit
Good fruit - Good seed ... and so it goes!

You can't plant Guinea Corn and from it Indian Corn reap!
What goes in comes out!
Do I need to repeat?

Jesus IN! = Jesus OUT!
Satan IN! = Satan OUT!
Garbage IN! = Garbage OUT!

The Problem ... again
The Solution ... again
Know what You Sow!
It Grows!

Rational Nonbelievers ... Dying To Live Free!?!

I am not a Humanist!
Neither am I "Dying to Live Free!"
Jesus Christ IS My Creator -
I Follow Him! I'm Signally FREE!

I am no Freethinker!
I cannot Walk by My Sight!
Jesus is My Pathway -
His Word is the Lamp lighting My way!

I am no Illuminated Highness!
I am no Self-willed Sin-loving Slave!
I Believe in Jesus Christ, My Lord!
I will Rise from Death! I'm by Jesus Christ Saved!

I do not need books to "Prove The Godhead!"
I will not seek to be Rational and Freewheeling re: GOD!
I Trust God's Word! I had have Sin - Jesus is My Cure!
I will be Lifted Up! Almighty God IS The Lord!

Do not try to "MOVE My Mindset" from Believer to Nonbeliever!
I "Came OUT" of Sin - not to Sexual Immorality Deviancy!
I will not use "God's Understanding"
To cover Licentiousness with Dr. Dog, Honor de Cat
Biggie Horse, Striped Stripped Human and Decaying Duppy!
Get away from Me! I'm not Sipping Deada with You and Satan!
I'm Blissfully, Happily in Jesus Christ FREE!

Divine Intervention IS My Bulwark -
Keep Pragmatic Interventions out of My Way!
I Trust Believe in The Living God - not Wicked Sin-loving Man
Who can't keep himself off the Can!
How, then, can he keep My Soul from being Damned?

Rational Nonbelievers a/k/a Freethinkers
Atheists, Satanists, Witches, Warlocks and the Like
Are in for a Rude Awakening
When Jesus Christ Returns ... As "The Thief In The Night!"

SO ...

Don't use your Corrupted Education as a Smoke Screen for Sin!
You do not have an excuse for Non-Belief for
God's Message of Love, Help, Hope and Healing
Salvation, Sanctification, and Redemption
Is written in Each Soul -
You WILL ANSWER for Disbelief when Jesus Christ breaks through The Clouds!

I am Free!
You can be Free - Give up Your Idols!
Stop bowing before the god of Sales, Self
Self-Aggrandizement, Free Sex, Gratify Me and Me Satisfy!
Give up your altar to That Demon and 
Bow before Almighty God -
He WILL Your Suffering Soul Surely Securely Satisfy!

Flattering God!?!

I can't Flatter God with: "I Love YOU!"
I can't Coerce God with a Screaming Fit!
I can't Disappoint God with My Human Failures
But I will Anger God with Malicious Presumptuous Sin!

I can't Fool God with a Sham Confession!
I can't Hoodwink God with Repentance Fake!
I will Tempt God by Walking Outside of His Will
And by Playing with Sin Kitty and Calling 
"Save Me, I Fell Over Playing Devil Dodge Ball by Fire Lake!"

I Please God with Genuine Repentance!
I Celebrate God by Walking in Jesus' Faith!
I Bless God by Accepting Jesus' Blood Sacrifice!
I Honor God by Praying and Singing "His Name Be Ever Praised!"

Glory!

Glory!

Hallelujah!

Glory!

Hallelujah!

Sing to Him Praise!

Stand Tall!

Walk Humble!

Head for The City - Victory IS Assured

Jesus Christ will Reign!

Get on board The Train

Satan, Death, Hell and Unrepentant Sinners 

Will be Utterly Destroyed!

God's Transcript

Mercy, Love and Grace
Are in the transcript of the Character of The True and Living Only God
And it is because of their Presence
That I can defeat The Arch Deceiver - Satan, Belial, Beelzebub
The Piercing Serpent, The Liar, The Fraud.

I have no need for Timidity
I have no need for Fear
I, by Grace, am going to Live in The Holy City
And Satan can't stop My Arrival there.

I have no need for Trembling
I have no need for Kid Gloves
I have The Love of Jesus with Me -
Which casts out The Fear - I've got The Dove!

I have Made My Confession -
My Repentance laid down at its side
Mercy picked Me up - I am Rejoicing
God Reigns - Spirit Comforts
Because, to Save Me, Jesus Died
Raised Himself, and IS Glorified!

I AM Delivered!

Praise The Lord!

Get Away From Me, Satan!

Get away from Me, Satan!
Your World taught Me "The Lesson" too well, so
You cannot tempt to follow you anymore and
You're not going to see Me in Hell!

You cannot offer Me any more Trinkets
No more Skewed Knowledge, no more Fair Deals, no more False Hopes!
You are a Bold-Faced Liar - You're a Murderer!
I will swing no more on your Gaudy
Glittering, Death-Dealing, Twisted, Hell-bent Rope!

Don't tell Me that I'm too sinful -
That worked on Me only yesteryear!
Today I'm walking humbly with Jesus
Not proudly with The Prince of The Power of The Air!

Don't send anybody to flatter Me
I'm no longer working for applause from Fallen Man!
My Boss is The God of Creation
Jesus Christ, The Beloved, The Great I AM!

You can no longer rob Me of God's Truth
I've confessed My Sin! I've taken Jesus for My Portion
So any Sin you cast up in front of Me
Jesus Christ, Himself, cast it into His Forgetfulness Sea!

Let Me spell it out for You!
I've accepted Jesus - He is holding My Hand!
He is Faithful and True - Not Deceitful like You!
Take a hike! I'm sticking to Jesus Christ like Super Glue!

Do not attempt to talk with Me anymore!
I have a good Word for You!
Jesus Christ Saves! His Heart I now crave!
I'm through being a toy pet upon which you horribly chew!

Give up Your Fight!
My God Is The Light 
His Love for Me has No Limits
I will Him give My Praise
Forever and Always
Forget You!
You have only a few more short days!


IF You Don't Understand ...

Let Me Paint You A Picture:


Jesus Loves Me 
You Can't!

Jesus Drew Me Out Of Sin 
You Encouraged Me To Sin!

Jesus Inspires Hope 
You Inspire Dread!

Jesus IS Love 
You ARE Hate!

Jesus' Love Causes Me to Look Up
You Encouraged Me To Lower My Head!

Jesus Plants Faith
You Planted Despair!

Jesus has prepared an Eternal and Happy Home for Me
You Offered Cheapo Fun and Eternal Death!

Jesus Comforts Me by The Holy Spirit
Your Minions Sought to Disturb My Head Bed!

Jesus Died for Me
You Killed Him AND, yet, He LIVES!

Jesus Is Alive and will Redeem Me
Who's Crying Now?

Jesus Forgave Me
Where is YOURS!

Jesus IS Coming For Me
Who Can't Go Home?

Jesus IS My Hope For Glory
You Can Keep Your Trap For Hell!

AND 

Just In Case You May Have Forgotten Your End:

AS FOR ME?

 MARANATHA!!

VESPERS AT THE END Of THE SABBATH: People! Wake Up! Almighty God Ain't No Fool!

My Almighty God IS Just!

I was HUMBLED!

My Almighty God IS Gracious!

I am RESTORED.

Many are The Ways
In which We Weave
Chords - Cords of Music -
To bring us, Humbled, to Our Knees!

We - Bold and Arrogant - think Self Grand and
Behave as though 
God and Human
Pitch Marbles on Hard Sand!

Look at Yourself!
Jaundiced, Petty, Judgmental, Unkind
Living as though You and God
Have a Meeting of The Minds
Where You do The Talking
He Listens - and Obeys
And Gives You Nice Trinkets
To Block Correction from Your Ears!

You Lift Your Head -
Arrogant!

You Stiffen Your Spine -
Back Square!

You Hawk up the Phlegm of Cold Heart 
And You Spray
Acid and Bile
Hatred and Strife
As You Stick a Sharp-pointed, Dull Knife into Your Brother and 
Hug Him as He Suffers Horribly ... and Dies!

You Go to The House of Assembling!
You Say All the Right Words!
Your Hands in your Pockets -
The Cat ... at Your Feet ... Purrs
As You Utter Sardine
And Yourself Eat Beefsteak
And Tell all The People
Payday ain't Got No date!

You Lie, Cheat and Steal!
You Maneuver, Meddle and Make
All Sorts of Deals with The Devil -
Your Pretty Sweet Date
Who, with Great Malice
Strokes You, and Fake Smiles
And Thinks Fondly of What She Will Do
To Make you Lie while you Wait to Slowly Die!

You Act like The Idiot!
You Smell of The Goat!
Your Name Must be Judas - You're Wearing 
His Coat 
Of Betrayal
Of Wanton Greed for Small Non-gain!
Take Care You don't Get Tarred Marked 
With his Same Pay 'n Black Paint!

You Walk like The Christian
You Waddle like The Duck
Be Careful
You May End Up 
Like The Chicken that Gets Plucked
Or - Worst Yet - like The Goose
Who Done Get Herself Picked!
Stop Being a Useless Heathen -
Experience got Tricks, and 
Share Licks!

The Time for Repentance
Confession and Rebirth
Is when The Four Winds of Strife
Are being Held Back -
Off The Earth!

Stop Playing with That Kitty!
Kitty has got Sharp Claws -
She does Scratch - and
When She Sinks ALL Her Claws in You
There ain't a Fellow that's Going To Do Jack
To Help You
To Save You
To Comfort You
To Care!
The Good God You've Been Abusing
Sits in Yon Judgment Chair!

God Does Not Play Favorites!
He Does Not Bend Rules!
He has a "Big Stick"
To Belabor The Backs of 
Confident, Educated Fools
Who Think He is Foolish
Who Believe He Can't See
Who Reason His Looking Out for Humans
Is Way Beneath He!

Get a Grip of Your Self
Sit Down on Your Company Chair
Jesus Christ is Returning
Whether or Not You Care or Fear!

God has is Keeping Good Records!
The Angels Keep Watch, hear!
Trust God for Your Cleansing
Or Your End will be
Out There
Amongst The Dogs and Whoremongers
Fornicators
Lovers of The Life
Licentious, Immoral
Repent!
Or You Die
Forever
For Always
Separated from God
You are not The Big Wheel
You are only a Cog! Get New Life!

Confess All Your Evil!
Repent Like You Care!
Seek Salvation like it's Nourishment
It's Free! Take it ... IF You Dare!

God is YOUR MAKER!
You didn't Make Yourself!
Bow to Him - He's Your Master Maker -
And be healed ...
You can't Heal Yourself!

Who Can Catch The Wind?

John 3:3-8King James Version (KJV)

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Leaf, Wind and Bird are best friends!
Since time immemorial, Bird and Leaf have been trying
To beat Wind at their favorite pastime -
Catch The Wind!
It hasn't happened yet!

Why?

Well, it is like this:

Wind always starts out first.
Bird and Leaf can hear him coming, and
They can even feel him from afar off

But ...

Before they see Wind
Before they can catch Wind
Wind Tickles Leaf ... and he dances and sings
Wind Ruffles Bird ... and he's aloft and soaring before he knows it

Leaf and Bird love Wind - they just can't see him 
Coming
To catch him!

It's terribly frustrating
And fun
And invigorating!
They love Wind.

Sometimes Wind can get rambunctious
And move around mightily!
Sometimes Wind scares Bird and Leaf -
When he howls
And kicks up dust
And throws thing around!

And then ...

There IS Quiet and ... Peace and ... Rest.

So moves The Holy Spirit!
He's Our Friend
And we will never catch Him ... in a Lie!

He moves Gently and Confidently
When we walk ... in His Will!

He moves Rambunctiously 
When The Soul is calling to The King Eternal 
When The Soul contemplates The Worldly Tour
When The Soul is struggling with Active Sin
When The Master demands we Clean The House within 
When we are bearing The Message to The People for Him
When Faith is Faltering
When Grief is Exulting
When The Grave is Calling

The Holy Spirit Moves ...

Upon Us

In Us

For Us

For You

For Me!

Oh, Lord, Help Us to

Let Your Holy Spirit Lead

Always and Forever. 

AMEN

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Face In My Mirror

Father, have Mercy on Me?!

I am Looking in My Mirror -

Who is it that I see?

A Vile Sinner?

A Sinner Saved By Grace?

A Self-Righteous Saint?

Who Am I Truly?

Would You Help Me See Whether

I Am Truly Walking With and In Thee?

Sometimes I'm Humble!

Sometimes I Self-Elevate!

I Often Don't Know My Own Mind -

I Calculate and I Vacillate!

But, Lord, even as I Contemplate

My Great Quandary

As I see My Own Self

Through My Looking Glass Darkly

Please Help Me Put Aside 

Pride in Self

Pride in Possessions

Pride in Skill and 

Pride in Prosperity, and

Please Help Me to Gain 

Lawful Entry Into Your Gates for 

This Sinful Nature's Pressing and Pulling On Me!

In The Name of King Jesus, Please Save Me!

I Love My Savior, Lord!

Please, Please, Clean and Heal! 

Help Me!

AMEN
