I Met A Man Who Blesses Me!

I Met A Man
Really!
I Did!
He Was Awe-inspiring
And Under His Influence I Slid!

I Met A Man!
He Blessed Me
With A Blessing
Which Stressed Me
And Distressed Me
And Depressed Me
And Made Me Behave As Though 
Old Satan Possessed Me!

I Met A Man
Who Blessed Me
With A Blessing
That Did Not
Upfront
Monetarily Impress Me
That Did Not Socially
Express Me
That Did Not
Politically Profess Me
BUT
Being Holy
Did Wholly
Spiritually
Possess Me!

I Met The Man!
The Man Who Understands!
The Man Whose Love For Me Is Awesomely Grand
And Who Died
So That I Could Reach Heaven's Table Land
To Sit and Eat At God's Banquet Table
AND
To Immortal
Redeemed Stand
For Having Accepted
The Free Offer
In The Free Salvation Plan!

I Met The Man
The Son of Man
AND
Neither My Eyes Nor
Emotions
Could Ingest Nor Express
The Beauty Before Which I Stood!
He IS Good!

I Took Him At His Word!
I Listened And
Accepted As He Made Record
Of His Blessings and Bounties
Holy
Available
To Those Whom
With Him
Walk In One Accord!

I Met God!
I Met God's Son
AND
I Met God's Holy Spirit
Which
After The Meeting
Of Those Worthies Plus Me
Took Up - By God's Grace
Residence In My Heart Place
Jealous For My Soul
To Succeed
To Arrive
At The Heavenly Goal!

I Have Met 
AND
I Have Communion and Consort
WITH
Jesus Christ!

Have YOU Met The Son Of Man?!

Have YOU Met The Great I AM?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: To Some, Some People Are...

To Some,  Some People Are Garbage:
To Be Swept Up
Washed Away
And Removed From Sight
As In:

"Get That Trash Out Of My Eye-sight!"

To Some - Some People Are Cargo:
Batch Them
Number Them
Pallet Some
Containerize Some
Transport All
AND
Warehouse Them All Until
AFTER
The Artificial Shortage Has Been Created
To Inflate The Value Of Them All

AND, THENCE

To Some - Some People Become The Commodity:
Package Them
Prettify Them
Knockout or Bid Price Them
AND 
Put Them On The Market
To See How Many The Gross and Grasping Groping Public Will Grab Of Them!

To Some - Some People Are Just Dough!
Knead All
Stretch Some
Tie Some
Fill Some
Roll Some
Bake Some
Boil Some
Burn Some
Drop Some
Dust Some
Oil Some
Decorate Some

AND

TO SUM

To Eat What Is Desirable
To Cast Off What Is Unwanted
To Dispose Of What Is Inconvenient To Use

AND

To Destroy What Is Made Of Dough Now Refuse!

BUT ...

To The True And Living Holy God

ALL People Are Precious
For
For Them
Jesus Christ Gave His Own Life
AND
His Spilled Blood
Makes Them Unquenchingly Valuable
Unique
Special
Worthy - By God's Holy Measure
To Save!

Soooo ...

If You've Been
Commodity
Garbage
Cargo or
Dough
Please Know
That To God
That IS Error
Demonic
AND
Just Not So
For
His Son
The Son Of Man
The Holy Spirit
AND
The Father, Himself
Participated
Cooperated
To Save You
By Providing The Salvation Plan
AND
That Plan Is Particularly Peculiar
For
It Cannot Be Over-Ridden
Neither By The Devil
Nor By The Satanic Machinations of 
Corrupt and Wicked Man!

You, Dear One, Are A Jewel In God's Crown -
Uniquely Valuable AND Irreplaceable!
So Stand Up
AND
Take Your Place
No Matter The Inspired Desperation Of 
The Wicked
To Mar Mark Your Beloved-By-Jesus Face!

GOD RULES

IN

THE AFFAIRS OF MEN!!!!

TRUTH: God Loves AND Satan Hates What God Loves!!

God Can't Love You Less!
Satan Can't Hate You More
AND
Faith Is The Key
That Unlocks Heaven's Mercies
And Its Made-of-Pearl Gate Doors!

Because You May Hate God
It Does Not Mean That God Hates You!
BUT ...
If You Love God
Know For A Fact That
Satan Despises and Hates You!

God Hates Sin!
God Loves The Sinner!
Repent and Confess Your Sin
AND
Be Present At 
God's Saints' Welcome Home Dinner!

God Love Is Not Blind!
God's Love Can See!
God Loves Us Nevertheless
AND
No Surprise
God's Love Is Free!

God Loves You!
Satan Hates You!
BUT
No Matter The Hate
To Sin  ... Satan Cannot Make You!

God Could Bend Your Will
But He Won't!
Satan Would Bend Your Will
But He Can't!

God Is God Is Real!
Satan's Plan To Be God Is Stale
BUT
Don't Go Facing Satan
Believing You Can't Fall
For Without God As Your Shepherd
You Are Nothing More Than 
Satan's Cheap Bouncy Ball!

God Loves!
Satan Hates!
Soooo ...
Learn Ye The Difference
Before Your Expiration Date!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Tetra Pac Lego God + PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me!

I Made An Amazing Discovery!
I Had Put My God 
In Cut-To-Fit Pieces 
In A Foil-Lined Box
Preserving Him
For Those Occasions 
When
He Would Save Me From 
A Real Or Imagined Attack!

My Mind Was Broad
AND
I Had "Created" A 
Specialized
Elite
Proficient 
God Force!

-- I Get Chills When I Think Of 
The Myriad Gods That
I Had Fashioned For Myself! --

I Had Fashioned:

A Special-Occasion God!
An Emergency God!
An "I Need A Favor!" God!
A Ready-To-Listen To My Complaints God!
A Sounding-Board God!
A Pat-Me-On-My-Back God!
A Save-Me-From-My-Self God!
A God-To-Be-Ignored-As-Convenient God!
A "Pity Me - I'm Your Child!" God!
And On and On!

Do You Get The Picture?!

This Was Idolatry!!

Well, It Finally Dawned On Me
That All Of These 
Different Occasion Gods' Requirements
- Per My Self -
Were Really Wearing Me Down To A Nubbin!

There Had To Be A Better Way!
There Had To Be A Better Way To Pray!

There Had To Be A Better God!

There Had To Be A Better God Who Has More Say!

What I Needed 
More Than Anything 
Was 
The All-Seeing
The All-Knowing
The Ever-Present
Almighty
True
Living
Eternal
Holy
GOD!!

I Proceeded To Have Me A Think
AND ... Lo!
AND ... Behold!

Did Not God Just Say:
"Call On Me 
AND 
I Will ...!"

SHOW YOU

The Great
The Mighty (Marvelous)
What You ( I and Eye!? ) Don't Know!

He Did Not Say He Will "Snow" Me!

PRAYER:

Father,  I Owe You An Apology

For Believing In A False Theology

Which Caused Me

To Indulge In Great Folly

Forgetting That You Are The God Holy!

Father,  I Take The Position Today

That The World And Its Deceits

I Will No Longer Attention Pay!

I Will Recombine You

To Your Rightful Estate

AND

I Will Cast My Lot On You

AND

You Will Then Be Responsible For My Fate!

Forgive Me,  Father

For Letting My Lack of Faith

My Lack of Understanding

My Unwillingness To Believe
AND

My Seeming Inability To Trust

Make You Less Than You Are To Me!

Father, 
You Are My God

AND

Come What May

In You  - The Holy God

I Will Wholly Trust!

I Love You,  Lord!

AMEN.

Every Body Who Is Any Body
DESIRES
To Possess
Own
Acquire Or
Have Access To
A Top-Of-The-Line

Really?!

Okay ...

Would You Be So Kind As To Read This For Me? 

And

And

Come Onnnnn!
Those Two, uhm Three Texts All Say "TABLES!"

Indeed!!

You Are Quite Bonkers, You Know!!

No! 
No! 
Not At All!

Note What 2 Corinthians 3:3 - "...{N}ot in tables of stone but in the fleshy tables of the heart."

Yes ...?!

Don't You See!!
A Table IS a TABLET! 
A Writing Tablet! 
A Tablet Where Significant Information Is 
Stored and Preserved
For Easy AND Constant Access!

Exodus 34:1 & 4King James Version (KJV)

34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

OH.

See You Later!

And 

Don't Forget

Make Sure To Keep Your Tablet Powered On 

And 

Connected To The Source!

OKAY.

The Praying, Petitioning Jesus!

Jesus Prayed!
Jesus Prayed for Me
AND
With His Pray
He Was Nailed By My Sin
AND
Deemed Accursed -
He Was Hung
Suspended
Between Earth and Sky
To Save Me
And All Believers
Who Will Bow At The Name
Of Jesus Christ
Immanuel
Lord of All Seen
AND  
Unseen Domains!

In and Of Myself - Unworthy -
I Had Me No Right
To Approach 
The Throne of The Father
Requesting Assistance
My Battles To Fight
BUT
Jesus - Holy Jesus -
Said:

"Father, This Child I Do Claim
And All Of Like Posture
Who Shall Pray To You
In My Name!"

I Hung On Their Cross!
I Took On Their Sin!
I Was Their Payment
Breaking Satan's Every Chain
Which License Only Leads Them
To Destruction Once
Yeah, Twice
BUT
Father, You Accepted
The Willing Sacrifice!

My Offering Was
The Just
For
The Unjust!
I Claim Them! - We Love Them!
We Call Them Our Own
AND
In The Day of Your Appointing, Father
We Are Bringing Them
To Our Home
Where Blessings Are Eternal
Where Rest Is Eternal - Sweet
Where Peace Is Eternal
Where Wings Are As Feet
Where Water Is Living
Where Our Light Is As Air
Where Nevermore Again
Our Beloved Children
Will Know
The Ravages of Sin
AND
It's Attendant Fear!

So, Father
Blessed Father
Grant This Child
Your Peace
AND
Godly Fear
To Live Holy
Ever Looking Up
Toward The East
With Great Anticipation
Of The Day That Will Dawn!
The Day When The Chosen
The Believers
Will Arise - New!
Immortal!
At The Last Trumpet - Reborn!

Bless Them
AND
Keep Them
Until That Great Day!
Father, Our Children
Are Home Bound
AND
There Is Much Hope
In Their Rejoicing
For We Keep Their Hearts
Until The Day Dawns
Singing,  Rejoicing
Saying:

"Going Home!
Happy Day!
My Sins Are Washed Away and
I Don't For Them 
Have To Personally Pay!
"Going Home!
Oh, Happy Day!"

Jesus Christ Has Paved My Way!
I Live In Him
AND
God's Grace Leads The Way!
The Lord's Holy Spirit
Grants Me Peace and Sweet Rest
AND
I Shall Stand Firm
AND
I Will Pass The Test!"

Wearing Sin!?!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Deodorant!
It is Like 24 Hour On Duty!
It is Only Discovered When It's Protection Has Failed 
For Lack Of Scheduled Maintenance Renewal!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Perfume!
It Smells Good On Us!
The Sin Is Only Discovered When
It Shows Up As The Covering Scent Wears Off!

Some Of Us Wear Sin Like Mouthwash!
As Long As We Keep our Mouths Washed
There Is Hope Of Discovery!
Lack of Reapplication And The Stench Comes Out!

Some Of Us Wear Sin Like Nail Polish!
The Ugliness Is Covered Up 
Until The Polish Starts To Crack
And Chip and Peel Off, and 
Suddenly
Whoops! There It Is! 
The Certain Exposure!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Good Diapers!
Nothing Leaks Out!
Problem Comes When We Forget 
To Make The Needful Change 
In Padded Protection, and 
The Stench Wafts Out and Up, and 
There Is The Amazing Discovery!

I Don't Know About You,  Friend
BUT
I've Worn All
Of Sins' Camouflage!

I've Walked Like A Pillar Of Society
AND
I've Disdained Those Who 
Couldn't Conceal That They'd Been Bad
BUT
That Was Until The Day I Really Met King Jesus
AND
He Bade Me To Divest
AND
Take A Clean Bath!

I Had No Choice!
I Really Didn't
For 
I'd Broken Down
AND
Revealed All
AND
There Was Now No Place To 
Insert The Shame-faced Chagrined Laugh!

I Cried!
I Bowed!
I Prayed!
I Was No More Proud
For
The Underbelly Of The Slug Had Been Salted!

I Lifted Up My Ashamed Gaze!
I Saw My Master
Through The Teary Haze
AND
My Confession Led To
An Offer Of Eternal Days
By Walking Holy
Faithful
Trusting
Praising
Praying
AND
Leaning
On Him
Who Holds All My Days!

No More Hiding!

Confession and Repentance Have Collided
AND
On The Glory Road
This Repentant - Forgiven - Sinner 
Is Walking
AND
Residing!

PRAYER: Father, Provide!

Father,

Have Mercy Upon Your People Around The Planet This Day!

Please Provide For Each According As His Need Shall Be

For

We Do Not Seek After The World's Bounties

But

After Heaven's Glories

And

Christ's Righteousness!

Please Keep Our Hopes For Heaven High

Our Eyes On Jesus Christ Fixed

And

Our Feet Firmly Planted

On

The Rock of Our Salvation!

May Your Holy Spirit Comfort and Teach Us

And

Correct and Perfect Our Characters!

May The Holy Angels Guard, Guide, and Abide With Us

And,  Lord

Please Keep Us Until The Great Day

And, Then

For Eternity!

In Jesus' Holy Name We Plead!

We Love You, Father!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, Preserve My Peace!

Lord,  Preserve My Peace

When The Clamor of The World Is Me Bombarding!

Lord,  Preserve My Peace

When The Devil's Henchmen 

Would Have Me Sin Against My Own Soul!

Lord,  Preserve My Peace

When My Search 

For My Soul's  Peace Initiates Conflict -

Bid Me Rest In Thee

For You Are My Comfort and My King!

Oh,  May The Peace Of God

Which Passes All Human Understanding

Fill My Heart With Joy

This Day, and Always!

In Jesus' Holy Name I Plead.

AMEN
