Money Laundering And Soul Cleansing Juxtaposed

Money Laundering 

and 

Soul Cleansing 

Follow the same Three-step Process:

1. Conversion or transfer of the Money/Soul from what it was to what is desirable i.e., Dirty Money to Clean, and Sinful Soul to Saint!

2. Conceal the Money/Soul's History Forever, i.e., through a Planned Process, "wash" the Money/Soul of its stench of Illegality/Sin and, by a process of Movement, Relocation, and Ownership Transfer, Render the Dirty/Sinful Clean/Saved!

3. Acquiring, Possessing and Using Money/Soul knowing full-well that its origin is Unclean!

We Are BORN With The Sinful Nature

and 

We Sin 

In Our Thinking

In Our Speaking

and 

In Our Actions!

Jesus Calls Us!

We Wrestle With The Holy Spirit!

We Finally Yield The Battle and Answer The Call!

We Confess Our Sins!

He Forgives Us and Cleans Us!

He Remakes Us!

We WALK ... By Faith ... In Him 

for

We Are New Creatures!

We WORK For The Kingdom ... By Faith In Him

Until We Die

Or

He Comes For Us!

NOW ...

We are All Sinners having Sinned against God, and We All Fall Short of His Glory!

In our Fallen State, we Cannot Hope to Approach God's Throne, and Live!


BUT ...

We have an "IN!"

There is a Man a/k/a The Son of Man who has Direct Access to "The Big Man" a/k/a God Almighty, Himself, for He IS The High Priest of Our Profession, and He IS in Heaven ... INTERCEDING!

Word on The Street is that The Son of Man IS The Prince of Peace who IS The Only Begotten Son of God Almighty! 

Word??

WORD!!

Word also is that The Prince of Peace IS Creator God a/k/a Prince Immanuel, being interpreted IS "God With US!"

It is also said that Prince Immanuel IS The Lamb of God and IS God Almighty a/k/a The Father's Pet, and it is a Well-known Secret that God Almighty gave Everything in Heaven, on Earth, under The Earth, The Sea and all that is in them into The Hands of The Pet a/k/a Jesus Christ a/k/a Big JC, even though He allowed Big JC to be sacrificed for, get this, "The Sins of The World!!"

Anyway, it seems that to Access the "IN" that the Outliers a/k/a Sinners have to "The Throne of Grace" a/k/a The Heart of God, one has to use The Comforter a/k/a The Holy Spirit!

FYI - the Key Code to The Comforter is found in some ancient book often called a "Dead Letter" but popularly known as "The Holy Bible" by The Christian Crew whose leader, Faith, told Seeking-Soul The Code is actually !!PrAaAyER!!

 !!PrAaAyER!! is Personal! Powerful! and The Petition of The Pleading Heart!

Spread The Word!

Now, in order not to "Get Burned" as a Member of The Goat Group, and to Get a Seat on "The Heaven-Bound Boat Full of Beautiful Believers Bought With Blood," we must follow these next steps Exactly!

1. Show Recognition of Our Lost State

2. Acknowledge That We are Dry-boned Sinners

3. Believe on The Lord a/k/a Big JC a/k/a Jesus Christ for The Saving Of Our Souls

4. Confess Our Sins a/k/a Tell the Truth of Our Sinfulness

5. This IS The Biggie: REPENT a/k/a Turn Away from Sin

6. Walk through The Watery Grave a/k/a Get Baptized

7. Put Our Shoulders to The Plow a/k/a Walk and Work by Faith in Jesus Christ a/k/a The Savior of Mankind a/k/a The Door a/k/a The Way To Life Everlasting!

8. Don't Trust Our Eyesight

9. Move out of The Shadows and Progress According to The Light of Life a/k/a Jesus Christ a/k/a The Word Made Flesh

10. Walk Holy for Jesus Christ IS Holy - Don't Look Behind, and

11. Fear God - With a Godly Fear (He has The Right To Kill Us But Doesn't For He Gives Us The Right To Call Him Lord and Friend When We Turn Away From Sinning)

Satan IS The Liar!

Let Us To God Retire

For Satan does Not Ever Tire

For he Wants Us with him in Hell's Fire!

So, since We Know What God Can Do

There is No Way that Satan Fool Me and Fool You!

If God Says "Go Right!"

Satan Will Say "That's Not Quite Right!"

And he will Lead us

Into the Blackest Darkest Night

If we don't Let King Jesus

Our Soul Battle Fight!

RUN - DON'T WALK - TO GOD!

Almost Thou Persuadest Me ...!?!

I listened and
I heard oft' repeated The Word
ALMOST ... and
My hair got curled!

ALMOST ... in Christianity is
What an "F-Bomb" is to Right-thinkers
Of The World ... but I digress!

This is how The Story goes:

The Almost Rich
Is Almost Happy!

The Almost Married
Was Almost Pregnant! 

The Almost Believing
Was Almost Persuaded!

The Almost Reconciled to Almighty God
His Sin Almost Recognized!

The Decidedly Human believes
He is Almost God!

He who Almost Heard The Word
Thought God was Almost Great!

 He who was Almost Faithful was
Almost Helped and
Almost Healed but for the Fact
In Jesus Christ he
Almost Believed!

The Almost Christian
Whose Life was Almost Holy 
Cried because in God his Life was
Almost Perfect!

The Almost Famous thought
He and God were
Almost Friends!

Almost Persuaded said he could
Almost Say that there is God but
Since he had not personally met God
He will say that he could Almost Believe
In a Real God!

He who was
Almost Ready to Change
Almost Listened to The Gospel
And said it is Almost Too Hard to understand!

What is wrong with this "story?"

"... Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian!"

Acts 26:28

What is The Expected End to such a position IF Our Very Real, and Almighty God should come right this very minute?

What would your expression be if He God said to you right this very minute:

"I Almost Saved You 

When You Almost Believed in Me!

But, since You only Almost Trusted Me

I will definitely tell You that You are Assuredly Lost?"

In the Realm of Heaven, there is not one thing that falls into the category of Almost:

We are Saved by Grace Through Faith.

We are Redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb.

We are Reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ's Merits.

We have Homes in Glory.

We will have Golden Crowns.

We will have Stars in our Crowns.

We will Freely Access The River of The Water of Life.

We will see Jesus Christ as He sees us.

We will have Eternal Life.

We will have Immortal Bodies.

We shall never Grow Old.

We shall Never Die for

We shall have been Changed.

ALMOST is just about The Most Egregious Word that a Christian can use EXCEPT right here, and right now, when he Cheers himself by saying:

"I am ALMOST HOME!"

as he Struggles under The Burden of a Living Faith while Appealing To, Working For, and Looking Toward, Heaven!

Otherwise, ALMOST is a Self-Prescribed Death Sentence!

If you Need Jesus

If you Need New Life

If you Need Manna -

Trust God in The Strife!

If you will be Ready

To Walk The Pathway to Eternal Life

Put your Back to The Plow

Bless The True and Living God

And ... 
Come What May

In All Ways

Day by Day
Read The Holy Word
and

Pray, Pray, PRAY!!

The Sirens' Call + Prayer: Forgive, Lord, Our Sin

I spent the day laid up
And all that I could hear
Was siren after siren
Screaming, screaming as they passed my way!

The Noise  - it was Incessant
It got under your skin
I almost wished it would stop
But ... I started to look in:

These sirens told The Story
Of what Mankind had Lost
It also told The Message of
What Sin itself had us Cost!

Had we Listened to Our Maker
Had we not Failed The Test
We would not now be Suffering the Results of Death 
By Sin's Request!

Oh, Lord, You know we are Feeble

Nothing but dust and air

Please have on us Your Mercy

For there is much for us to Fear!

We cannot Heal our Bodies!

We cannot Heal our Hearts!

We cannot Fix The Cost of Sin -

Lord, we'd be shooting black ducks in the dark!

Forgive us, oh Lord, our Trespasses!

Forgive us today our Debts!

Heal us today of our Failings and

Let help us to not have Vain Regrets!

You are our Heavenly Father

Jesus Christ is Our Savior and Coming King, and

The Holy Spirit is ever Our Comforter

So, in pity, please Draw us

Closer, ever Closer

and

Forgive, Lord, our Sin

and

Guide us Home, at The Trumpet

to 

That Blessed, Heavenly, Reward!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Feel The Power!

Lord, we don't have an excuse for Committing Sin for
You said You wrote Your Law in our hearts!
Problem is that with every Unbeliever
Faith in Your Word has no part!

Picking and choosing which Laws to follow
Are have been a favorite unacknowledged past time
(That is Until today!)
And now that Knowledge is exposed here
I now really have something to hold in Godly Fear!

I can no longer hide behind Lack of Knowing!
I can no longer hide behind I Don't Know The Way!
I can no longer Pretend Blind Indifference
For I have Received Glasses - A brand new pair!

Faith Comes by Hearing The Word of The Lord!
The Word has Life for me
For I believe it, you see - So there is Gain!
There is True Benefit to me!

Since I want to Lose Sin
And I want to Claim Jesus Christ as King
A Faithful Hearer is what I will be
And this is what I shall sing: 

Sung to the Tune of  There's Power In The Blood:

I am Free of the Guilt

That heavy Bore me down!

Jesus shed His Blood!

Jesus shed His Blood!

I took The Cleansing!

Lord Jesus Clean-washed, Saved, Redeemed Me!

There is Soul-cleansing Power in Jesus' Blood!

I Feel The Power!

The Cleansing Power!

The Holy Ghost At Work Power

In The Blood of Jesus Christ!

Feel The Power, Power

Power, Power

The Holy Ghost At Work Power

In Jesus' Blood that He shed

To Save Sinners just like you and me!

HAPPY SABBATH + God Is By My Side!

The Day started out with:

"That's Impossible!"

Then, with Time, I heard:

"Maybe ... but with Great Difficulty!"

By The End of The Period
Loudly was heard:

Task Accomplished!

God Is By My Side!

I sat and Thought for a Moment
Great Cogitations in The Head
If this scenario was not a Metaphor for The Life of Christian True Believers
I don't know What Else could be said!

God sends us out on Missions
Within which is our Reason for Growth
But Nothing will be Accomplished
If we Behave like Common Sloths!

Accept The Mission!
Recognize - of Our Self - that It Definitely Can't be Done!
Get out our Working Shoes!
Start out - Walk Chip Run!

Turn to The Father!
Raise up a Heartfelt Prayer!
Trust The Spirit's Leading!
Get Going!
Move On In With Prayer:

Father,

You've Sent Me on this Mission

This surely means that it Can Be Done

But ... I see Great Difficulty ...

I Love You, and I Trust You

You are My Guide and Stay

I'll be the Willing Body

Will You be My Faithful Guide?"

I'm Walking!
I'm Praying!
I'm Trusting!
God is Surely Leading The Way
And ... Before Long
I Get The Message:

You're Done!

Task Accomplished!

Put Today's Ledger Away!

Father, You are My Master!
Father, You are My King!
Father, You are My Music!
Give a Listen, Lord
As I Sing:

The Way - it may be Rocky

The Road - it may be Long

The Spirit fills Me with such Music

That I Break out in Glad Song!

I Sing A Song of Thanks for Your Mercy

For Your Blessing Me on The Way

I Trust in Christ, My Savior

And I'm Walking in The Way He Says!

Thanks, Father, for Your Provision

Thanks, Father, for Answering My Prayers

Thanks for The Road, and The Journey

With You Always Leading

I Shall Arrive Safely Home
At The Closing of Earth's Days!

I Love You, Lord!

*******

No Bells and Whistles Required!
Just Common Faith 
and 
Steadfast Belief in God!

PRAYER: Giving To God

I Give to You, Lord, My Praise and My Worship

I Offer You My Heart, My Will, and My Way

I Pledge My Faith and Obedience

Your Precepts never from Me to Put Away!

Bless these My Gifts to You, Dear Father

It's not much, but it is all that I have!

Bless Me as I Honor You day by day

and

Draw Me Ever Closer as Christ's Righteousness I Seek!

Grant Me Guidance, Care, Comfort and Protection

And a Home with You 

and 

The Promised Portion of The Meek!

I Love YOU, Lord.

AMEN.

Satan Had A Town-Hall Meeting ...! + PRAYER: Grant Us Your Protection

Satan had a Town Hall Meeting
That He wanted Man to Appear at and Hear
That he was not as bad as Stipulated
That it was Superstition that made him out to be a Roaring Lion
Killing men and making people submit to him in Abject Fear!

Satan had invited The Cream of his Crop
Of Witches, Warlocks, Psychiatrists and Ex-exorcist-Priests
Who would Testify in Glowing Tirade
That Satan was a Myth
A Fairy tale, Folk Lore
Bewitched Old Family and Heretical Apostate Churchmen Beliefs!

There were even those in the midst
Dressed as Ram Goat
Wearing 6 6 6 and not giving a hoot
And even someone wearing a Red Suit
With Forked Tongue and
Pitchfork to Boot
And passing out Bags of Lovely Loot!

Book Writers even trotted out their compilations
Showing that tales of Satan were just that: "Tales!"
For according to The Record long maintained
Satan was a Giant Lizard Snake Goat Dragon Hag Steel Donkey Fake!

There was even "Someone" who gave a "Testimony"
Of Satan being a Person Misunderstood
Of Satan being God - not Jesus
Of Satan being Seriously Misrepresented since The Great Flood!

All around the set speakers had their Love Fest
All around the Oppressed looked seriously Shell-shocked
That was until a Soft Quiet Voice loudly Spoke up
And put That Old Satan on The Witness Dock!

"Mr. Satan, please state your Full Name for The Record?

Please state for us your Lineage, if you could would?

Please tell from Whence you are Hailing, and

Please tell, by God's Holy Truth, how you came to be Misunderstood?

Would you tell, if you would, your Thought Process

When you met Eve in The Garden that Fateful Day?

Would you tell Why, if you would, you Corrected Her words

When God Himself said that Death would be Hers

If She His Living Word Disobeyed?

Would you, Mr. Satan, tell us the Truth of 

1 John 5:7-8?

If this is God's Truth - please state same

And if it a Lie - explain how, and by Whose Hand it about came?

Would you, if you would, tell why you Hate Christ Jesus?

Would you, if you would, tell why Human Worship is your Sole Soul Desire?

Would you, if you would, tell why you're Obsessed with

Getting as many Humans as you can to join you in Hell's Fire?

Would you tell, if you would, why you Raised Up Your Self

Above Almighty God, The Creator of One and All?

Would you, if you would, please Bear Record, of The Truth

The Real Truth, of  Noah's Time, and The Cause of The Great Flood?

Would you, if you would, Speak to Your Obsession

With The Rainbow and The Covenant to Man of Almighty God?

Would you state The Facts, Not Opinions, Not Hacks

Of why you Edit God's Words To Give Your Lies a "Viable" Truth?

Would you, if you would, please tell - in Truth's Words - of The Cost of

Your Rebellion Against God

And The True Impact it has had on Humanity?

Would you, if you would, tell Completely

Why you Lie, Daily Lie, to Deceive All Humanity 

With Tripe, Trifles, Strife and Desperate Inanities?

Would you, if you would, use the words of This King James Holy Bible

To Prove that Everything you are about to Say is God's Own Truth?

Would you, if you would, Show Your True Self and

Not Dressed up in Light and Shining with "Truth" so Mesmerizingly Bright?

Would you, if you would, tell The Seeking-After-God People

Why you have Engineered to make them Believe that you are God Good, and

Why you have Set up your Demonic Hoard of Disciples

To make people Believe that Jesus Christ himself Usurped Your God-Person-hood?

Mr. Satan, you say that your Vaunted Reputation is all a Fiction

A Fabrication, A Lie

Made-Up, Fable, Myth and

Just a Writer's License to Get Sales!

If this is Truly your Position, please Explain then Your Creator's Word against you in

Isaiah 14;12-15, Ezekiel 28:14-17, 1 Peter 5:8, and Revelation 12:7-12?

In The Name of Jesus Christ

Declare to these People that You and Your Reputation are a Lie!

If not, then in Jesus' Holy Name tell them God's Own Truth

That you, Sir, are The Liar, The Fraud

The Wannabe Holy God

Who Hates them with Perfect Hatred

Because they are Loved by The Holy Lord

The True and Living Eternal Creator - Yours and Mine - God!"

The Place was in Total Uproar!
Satan Couldn't Contain Himself anymore and
His Disguise Erupted and Tore and Tore
And, with Crass Imprecations
For the Bedevilment of Man
He Fled through the closed up middle side open door!

After the Clamor Died Down
And all but the Questioner had sat down
Another stood up and made a Statement
Asking all to look to Jesus and take care for
He said,  for this Work here today
Satan will try to make us Pay
But, Trust and Bless God, and by God's Grace 
We will have Nothing from Satan to fear!

"Be Sober
Be Vi-gi-lant
The Devil is a Straight Up Scamp
Who has Nothing Better To Do
But your Faith to Lay Waste!
Pray, and Prepare!
Satan has his Snares, but
If you Trust God's Word
You have a Sword
With which you can 
That Wicked Old Satan Away scare!"

With Satan Vanquished ... for a Time

The Meeting Closed 

with 

Prayer 

to 

The Almighty God

in 

The Matchless Name of Jesus Christ

under 

The Agency Of The Holy Spirit!

PRAYER OF FAITH:

Heavenly Father, we cannot by Eye see You

But, in Faith, we Love and Trust You!

We Believe Your Word!

We Bless Your Sacrifice and

We Know that Satan

Will To Us Never Act Right Nor Play Nice!

Grant Us Your Protection We Humbly Pray

Guide Us Faithfully on Our Way, and

Bless us with Your Blessing, Lord, for

We Love You Now and

Forever, and Always!

AMEN.

WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE? Contract OR Covenant?

I was offered "The Life!"
I could have Anything!
I could do Everything!
I could be Somebody's Something!

I was Offered A Contract!
If I Did ...
Then He Would Do ... !
He promised he would Show Me A Good Time
With many of those things froufrou!

I was Disappointed!
I did not want to have Fun!
I wanted The Commitment!
I wanted Permanency even through The Strife and
Satan's Bedevilment!

I wanted The Covenant!
No Running Away!
No Possibility ever of
One of Us Walking Away!

I Turned and I ...
Resolutely ...
I Turned and I Walked - Not Quite Sadly - Away.

THEN I MET ... HIM!

He Offered Me The Covenant!
He Offered Me HIS Life!
I will be His Forever but ...
My Life Will be Filled With Strife!

I will have to Endure Many Things!
I will have to Ignore Everything!
I must Believe that Despite Uncertainties that
The Good Life is at The End Of The Way of Suffering!

I Looked in His Eyes - a Burning Flame
His Heart is Plainly Revealed - Body Riven and Hole Pierced!
I Blessed The Almighty and
Our Covenant is Sealed - being with Him gives Me No Disgrace!

My Uncertainties Point To The Promise
The Promise Points to The Holy Way
The Holy Way is Certain - Laid Out
And I'm Walking with Him Day By Day!

When I'm Down He Lifts Me Up!
When I'm Happy I Sing To Him - and I Pray!
And all the while - No Matter The Matter
He Speaks To Me and there is No Smell of Truth Decay!

I Met Him and We Married!
I walk with Him - He cannot Stray
And I know when This Life is Over
In New Life We'll be Together
For Ever, and Ever More
On That Wholly Holy Peaceful Blessed Shore!

The Devil Can Keep His Contract!

Jesus Christ Has Got My Back!

The Covenant In Blood

Is My Security 

and

Jesus Christ Will Prosper Me

No Matter How Satan Attacks!

No Jostling Crowd Around Him!

The Noise was Deafening
The Atmosphere Carnival
The Barkers were Dedicatedly Offering 
To Any and All 
The World's Myriad Joys and Toys!




I had Visited The Carnival on many an occasion
I always had Money with which to Pay Play
But for Some Reason on This Occasion
I Wondered, at The Entrance Exit
What Would I Get Gain on This Foray?

I Wandered Around for a short short while for
Direction Seemed To Matter Today

And then ...

Then ... I saw HIM
And My Heart Went After Him in a Big Way!

He had no Stall!
He had no Barker!
He stood Tall!
He had Kindly Eyes!
He Spoke with Intensity and Passion
And not a word He spoke said: "Lie!"

There was no Jostling Crowd around Him!
No Music!
No Madness!
No Burly Men
To Restrain those who got too Rambunctious!

There was Quiet and Peace
... for those Listening!

He used words like:
Rest and Relief
Grace and Mercy
Calling Everyone to from Sin Cease, and
Offering, yes, Peace, Joy, Rest and Comfort to The Riven Soul
And I Felt My Body Grow Warm Hot Cold!

I Knew Him - this ... Man!
I Recognized Him
In My Heart - The Blessed Son of Man!
I'd Found what I Unconsciously Sought and
My Wanderers Tickets To Fun needed no longer to be Bought!

I Talked to Him!

He said:

 "Come."

I Listened to Him!

He said:

"You Need No More To Run 

for

I Offer You Life, Liberty 

and

Freedom for Your Soul!

Take Up Your Cross!

Fit Your Yoke!

Bear Your Burden

and

I Will You hold!

Walk The Straight Path

and

At The End 

I Will Return To Carry You 

to 

The Eternal Home!"

This Meeting Felt Right!
I had The Kingdom in My Sight!
I had a Task, and
A Road to Follow, and
A Home to Achieve!

I Gave The World My Back!
I Did Will Not Look Back - Not in My Heart
And Not Physically!
And I Removed The World Off My Sleeve
As The Love of  Him Who Is The Master
I Humbly Gratefully Received!

For Me, The Carnival Is Over!
My Disgrace Is Permanently Displaced!
My Home In Heaven Is Paid-Booked, for
The Hand of The Savior - By His Blessing - I Took!
