Personal Puzzler: What Does This Mean To You?

1. Clean Body
Dirty Soul!

2. Clean Food
Dirty Bowl!

3. Living in Hell
Heaven's the Goal!

4. Devil Dole
Christ's Fold!

What Does This Mean To You?

To Me:

Fact:
I was born a sinner.
I may bathe me outwardly but still ... I sin.

Clean Outwardly - inwardly a white-washed tomb, full of sin and trespasses. 
I need The Cleansing!

Fact:
Jesus Christ died after giving us His Living, Holy Word. He lives, and He gives us His Holy Life.

The Word of God is Clean and Nourishing Food going into an Unclean Vessel - Me - who can be is clean only through My Acknowledgment of His Supreme Sacrifice, and My Personal Acceptance of His Saving Grace.

Fact:
Satan directs The Leaders Sinners Unbelievers of This Earth. 
God Rules and Reigns over in The Affairs of Men.

Satan makes The Body of The Believer exceedingly uncomfortable but ... Since Jesus Christ is The Lord, and guards, guides and protects, keeping Heaven in sight will make even living in and enduring Hell a Badge of Delight ... until The Day dawns.

Fact:
The Devil delights in delivering The Depraved their Damnation even as he Doles out Disease and Destruction to Those that Delight in The Delivering Lord.

The Devil may hurt and The Devil may destroy, even kill The Body BUT he can never destroy The Soul of The Saint which Soul finds its Rest in The Fold of The Father of The Faithful.

God in Zion Reigneth

In this, This Mortal Soul Delights

Until The Day that The Change Comes

And, Immortal, I take flight

To Rest in Peace in The Pasture

In The Kingdom of Light

Nevermore to walk in The Darkest

Evermore to have My God in My Sight!

Never Alone!

Noah - Faithful!

Abraham - Friend!

And David?

A Man After God's Own Heart!

Oh, to be a Faithful Friend after God's Own Heart!

What a Declaration
Coming from The Mouth of God!

To be considered faithful by God
To be considered God's own friend
And to hear God claim Me as a servant after His Own Heart
Will bless My Frail Heart no end!

Oh, Loving God

Gracious!

Supreme!

Oh, how on this day

My Soul doth beam

All bright with Blessing from Your Throne!

I walk as One - never alone

Covered by The Blood

That truly does Atone!

I give You Praise!

Kinda Sorta Maybe Probably Assuredly Christian?!?!

I was kinda sorta maybe perhaps Happy

I was kinda sorta probably maybe Sad

I was kinda sorta  probably distinctly Miserable

But I was definitely distinctly assuredly positively Bad!

I was kinda sorta maybe probably serving Jesus

I was kinda sorta probably definitely serving The Fraud

I was kinda sorta probably assuredly definitely fooling Myself

For I was definitely decidedly distinctly not fooling God!

I kinda think I maybe probably honestly knew where this life would lead me

But I definitely assuredly knew The Day I truly faced The Cross

And that is when I definitely assuredly positively knew I needed a cleansing

And that is when lying to Myself out the window flew!

My Cleansing definitely brought me serious intense soul-searching

My Healing assuredly came with myriad tears

My Ascension to The Roll of True Believer

Assuredly positively came when I honestly willingly wisely accepted 

The Gift of Eternal Life that Jesus Christ gave!

I am positive I am Changed

I am assured that Jesus Forgave

And live, or die, neither Sin nor Death 

Can keep Me from gaining The Life of The Saved!

I am 

Sincerely

Positively

Assuredly Convinced 

that

Jesus Christ 

IS

My Lord and Savior

for

The I AM Saved Me ... by His Grace!

My Eye Lead Me!

I once let My Eye Lead Me
Down The Primrose Garden Path
And when The Journey was all over
I had purchased for Myself a Golden Calf!

My Eye had an annoying habit
Of buying what did My stomach overfill
And it always left me feeling
Like I was a trussed-up chicken waiting 
For the Butcher to come and kill!

You would think that I would acquire some Commonsense
But you would be wrong on that very score
I again let My Eye make another purchase
And Hell came knocking trying to break down My front door!

Lord, if ever I needed You

Today would be The Day

Please Help Me for

Devil Dog and You Ate Bought It

Are playing "We Got A Covetous Pup To Make Pay!"

Lord, I know that I have been Seriously Lawless

But I finally have had My Fill

Lust of This Flesh

Lust of My Eye

Pride of This Life

Have been holding sway

But if You would condescend to help a Foolish One

I promise to live My Life evermore as You Command

Help Me, for I'm about to be undone!

"Child, rescuing You is No Condescension

When Lifting You up is My Sacrificial Goal

Repent, turn away, walk on in My Light

And soon You Will Walk on The Eternal Shore.

Turn, turn, away from The Dead Things

The Dying Joys of The World

Come to Me - I AM Your Savior

With Me Life Ends in Great Reward!"

From That Day until This Day 
On which we are conversing
I have put My Shoulder to the Gospel Plow
And by God's Grace and a Living Faith
I'm Walking Straight and Behaving like 
Chubby, The Contented Cow!

This World No Longer Fills These Eyes of Mine!

Satisfied!

I am Satisfied with Little!

I am Satisfied with Much!

I am Grateful to have Something

Even if it is only Water for Lunch!

I do not Covet what I don't have

I don't Seek After Things only to then Regret

I am Satisfied with God's Provision

I have Sufficient - My Daily Needs Are Met!

Oh, that Men would Praise The Lord!

VESPERS: At The End Of The Sabbath - The Trump Card

He wanted Me to doubt God
But He did not know I had a trump card
God had proved Himself to Me
I was not living in an oil drum in a pan yard!

She wanted Me to doubt God
But she didn't know I had a trump card
God had proved Himself to Me
I was not living like a circus pig covered in thick lard!

They wanted Me to doubt God
But they didn't know I had a trump card
#GodProvedHimselfToMeToday
I did not personally for Sin have to pay!

Satan wants Me to doubt My God
He does not want Me to know My Trump Card
Jesus, the King of All Creation
Loves Me, and washed My uncleanness away
So that I may join Him in Glory
After setting aside the Body of Decay
And putting on the Robe of the Victorious
And with Him to His Kingdom fly away.

I have The Trump Card
Both Sides show The King - one crucified
And I am shouting for Glory
For the Once Dead King IS Alive
And because of His Resurrection I, too
Immortal, Incorruptible, will to Glory rise!

Satan! Get thee hence!

I Love The King, Jesus, My Lord!

Contented!

Through the Longing Eyes of My Faith

I See The City of The Holy God

And recognize that My Lot is More Blessed

Than Living Richly and Sinning Greatly like the

World-Loving

Self-Confessed

Satan-Oppressed

I-Am-God-Myself-Obsessed

Holy God Denying

Flagrant Sin-Wasted Outlaw.

I no longer Whine about My Lack of Life's Accoutrements!

I am Contented with Food and Shelter, and Shoes upon My Feet!

I feel Heaven-Blessed Knowing that in The Day of Redemption

The Worldly Rich will be Bleating like Lost Goats

But - Redeemed Sinner that I am -

I will be Baa-ing like a 

Blessed

Obedient 

Faithful

Immortal 

White-dressed 

#JesusChrist-Approved 

Spirit-Comforted Sheep.

HAPPY SABBATH + Eyes Outside Time

God is unhampered
With The Constraints of Time!
Even though I get angry
His Eyesight is fine
To see, and to know, what is waiting down the Road -
I need to get over My upsets
And #LetGodTakeControl!

My Eyesight is straitened!
My Knowledge is constrained!
My Actions have consequences and
Someone else gets blamed
When My cockups cause Me tears
And frustrations are frets -
Thank God for Jesus who hasn't failed Me yet.

Time is for Mere Mortals
#EternityIsGod's
Ignore Satan and his messengers
Those blighted, benighted, lying frauds
Who would have us believing that
Time is a toy
And that because of their influence
We will have untrammeled joys
No matter the Matter
No matter the Mode
No matter the Mess
Get your joy
Don't take excuse nor "No!" 

But let Me inform us that
Our God made The Law!
Don't ignore Him!
Don't bypass Him!
Don't give Him no jaw!
Don't call Him a reject -
His Name is Glorious and
He does not have flaws!

Give Him your utmost respect
For His Eyes travel along
Unrestricted through Our My space and His Time
He sees knows what's comings 
Before we have toes, and a look behind!

Sit stand recline ... but listen
When talking to The Lord
He is All knowing
All Seeing
Ever Present
Almighty God
He holds our time, times and Time in His Hand
He is Trustworthy
He is The Lord
Maker of Man's eyes
Giver of Light
Bestower of Sight
Light in The Night
Dealer in Right
Eternity's Might
Giver of Daylight
Pitcher of Starlight
And My God
Yes, Mine!

Universe can't contain Him
But My Heart can hold 
Joy Sublime
The Great God - Ever Glorious
He IS The Divine
The Divine Ruler of ... Time!

Teaching Me To Experience God?!?

I am really very tired of having People tell Me What My Experience of God Should Be!

They may know about their God experience, but they don't know How God "Feels" to Me!

As far as I know, feeling God is very personal.

I don't need to study what it should be, for I know My God said in His Word that this is the way it should be:

Each man must work out his own soul's salvation with fear and trembling! Philippians 2:12

Where, in Scripture, does it say that Bro. Ram must teach Sis. Downes how to relate to God?

Did the Scripture not say that The Holy Spirit dwells in each Believer?

If this is true - and I believe it to be - why are You talking to Me?

Look, this is the last time I am going to answer You on this:

God's Word is clear!

Christians should not exist on expressions i.e., emotions and feelings, and behaving like a puffy cloud pushed and tumbled in a high wind!

Christians do not walk by seeing for therein is Deceit!

I am focused on Eternity with My Almighty God, and My Trials here are for The Perfecting of My Character.

I must Trust that God is Faithful to deliver Me from every Trial or Trouble, even if God's Deliverance is My going to My Long Home UNTIL God's Trumpets shall sound at The Resurrection of The Just on The Last Day!

I believe that I am saved through God's Grace by My Faith in The Finished Work of Jesus Christ, through His Birth, Baptism, Preaching, Healing, Trial, Execution, Death, Burial, Resurrection, and His Return to Glory where He is conducting His High Priestly Work in The Most Holy Place of The Heavenly Sanctuary.

AND, I believe that He is returning one day soon, for all His Believing Children who have kept The Faith, and have run The Race, and are Awaiting The Reward that Jesus Christ promised to give to each Over-comer - and the Denying - upon His Return to this Earth.

I do not need goosebumps, nor glory rolls, nor vain babblings, nor effusive utterance to "prove" to anybody that I am a Redeemed Child of The Almighty God.

If God wants to visit Me personally, He will do so on His Time - not Yours!

You cannot "force" The Holy Spirit to manifest Himself at Your behest!

Now, I will suggest that YOU do need to re-experience Our Living God.

Go to God - quietly, in Your chamber, bedroom, bathroom, outhouse, chicken house, wherever, where You can be ALONE with God, and pray! Sing! Talk. And, don't forget to LISTEN! for it is in the Stillness that His Spirit speaks.

Forget the Chaos and the Confusion, and let Our Almighty God have His way, and stop engaging in emotionalism, and sensationalism, and that decidedly demonic vocalism, and all the other nonsense that calls itself worship in this day.

Look, if You want Me to do something, just bring a clear "Doth saith The Lord!" and not something from your latest guru.

My God is The God of Order, with everything having a time AND a place.

I trust God - therein is Peace!

I distrust Satan - with him is War!

Whatever God has for Me, is for Me, and He will deliver it in His Time and in His Way, and I know that therein - for Me - is Joy!

Have a Blessed Day!

Make Jesus Glad!

Having money can't make me happy

Having no money can make me sad

Having Jesus will make me really happy

But ... that makes Satan really mad!

Loving someone can't make me happy

Someone not loving can make me sad

Loving Jesus will make me really happy

But ... that makes Satan really mad!

I can choose Jesus and be happy

I can choose Satan and be bad

So I choose to reject Satan - it works to my Soul's Salvation

And ... that makes My Jesus really glad!

You ordered Disclaim as An Escape Card
But butt upon:
"God IS Coming!
Drink of Him Your Fill!"

You denied The Main Theme of The Bible
You decried The Claim of The Cross
You denied that You're Lame, and
That You are Presently Lost!

BUT ...

I'm right here to Encourage You
I'm right here to Point out The Way
To tell You The Truth of The Master
To describe the Amazing Home He has for Us prepared!

Holy Spirit here keeps You Warm in The Comfort

Holy is God The Father before Whom
By Jesus' Faith, We Saints, in Holy Worship, kneel!

Surprising God?!

SAINTS WON'T SURPRISE GOD!

SINNERS CAN'T SURPRISE GOD!

A decision was made by The Fiendish

That they would Surprise NotGod 
... Just in case
He proved to be a formidable opponent
And not a great fable in time at this place.

The Fiendish made Great Preparations
They raised Great Standards all over The World
And then they set into motion Great Events 
That could would destroy The Human Race!

Those Fiends thought that they were so brilliant
Problem is, they were brilliant in their own eyes, and
They followed the leading of The Devil, Satan
The Dragon, The Lord of Bare Lies!

For Millennia Stan Satan has been busy
Telling Generations of Fiends the same flawlessly lawless
Lying legend snake story, er, tale:

"Forget God!

You are God!

You are Immortal!

You can do whatever You want!

Erase The Lines!

Rules are for Fools!

Take what You want!

God isn't real -

He's just your Grandma's 

Bedtime Story Fairy Tale!"

And prideful wicked men lusting for Power
And Gain 
And Vaunted Immortality
Have chosen The Path of The Damned
Despising The Son of Man
And are lifting up Godlessss Morality Immortality!

These Fiends, Religious and Secular
Educated, Ignorant
Unrooted, Untutored
Soul Defiled
Set fast - cemented in their own delusions
Believe they can surprise their Creator 
The Living God
Jesus Christ - He who was crucified!

There is nothing that Mortal Man can do to surprise King Jesus!
There is nothing of their evil plots hidden from God's Gaze!
Their is nothing they can hide in their hearts 
That is not lit up in neon before The Ancient of Days!

People of God take Comfort in The Savior
Your Redeemer and Truly True Friend!
Take Comfort in His Amazing Grace - 
Think not of Disgrace - not Distance, not death
Nor of being well and truly displaced!

#JesusChristHasAll-SeeingEyes!
God will use Evil's Bad to You
To provide Salvation and Provision to You, too!
He is always on track!
He doesn't need to look back!
He truly and can will repulse even their celebrated EMP's puny attack!

Take Hope In This:

GOD

has given 

The Fiends The Long Rope

For He already has them 

and 

Liar The Goat by the throat!

#SatanCan'tFoolGod!

Satan is not God!

Man cannot fool God!

Man is not God!

The Almighty IS God!

Give Him His Praise!

It is not for The Fraud!

Trust The Lord - He is coming

And it will be Glorious 

and 

Dead-Raising Loud!!

VESPERS: At The End Of The Sabbath - God's Eyes + Prayer: Lord, I need Your Blessing!

IF I was a decidedly evil person
I would be very afraid
To know that God's Eyes are watching
Every misdeed that I undertook!

But ...

As it is My Heart's Desire to stay Saved By Grace
By Doing and Being Good and
Walking Right by His Grace
I do not have to be afraid!
I am glad that God's Eyes are everywhere watching!
He is seeing Me, and it is all for My Good!

God's Eyes are indeed Everywhere
Beholding both The Evil and The Good
And because of His Good Record Keeping
He is writing a Story Book for Each and Every One of Us!

Please carefully choose The Book that He is Writing for You -
It will either Bless or Curse You 
For it will show Your Association with The Son or The Devil
When You Stand before God's Judgment Seat on The Great Day!

 PRAYER 

Lord, I need Your Blessing

 I need to Humble Stand

Ready, Willing and Able

To wear the White Robe and Gold Crown of

The Holy Son of Man!

Let Me walk on in Your Fellowship

Led by Your Holy Spirit Divine

AND, at The End of The Ages

Let Me Hear: "Child, Come! You Are Truly Mine!"

Until That Day, Dear Father

Keep Me in Your Care

Let Me Rest in Comfort

Knowing that You, Lord, are Always Near!

I know, Lord, that the Angels of Glory

Are guarding My Dear, Sweet, Rest

I ask that You let Me walk on e'er awakening

Happy, Free, Peaceful, Faithful and Blessed!

AMEN.
