HAPPY SABBATH + The Nature Of Evil

The Nature Of Evil
Gratifies Ego
AND
Glorifies Self
For The Sole Purpose Of Getting 
The Evil One's Name
Into
The Glaringly Glorious Spotlight
AND
Off Of 
The Insignificant Ones' Shelf!

Satan's Overmastering Self-Love
In Its Full And Final Bloom
Ripped Heaven Apart
Because Of Satan's Willingness To Prove
That He
- After Acting The Part
Of Agent Provocateur
Union Representative
Free-Range Parent -
Could Be A Better Self-Appointed God 
Than The Self-Incarnate Almighty Holy God!

Do We Need To Ask
How That Power-Play Worked Out For
The Wanna-be God?!

Evil Holds No Outward Love
For Its Love
Is 
To Self
Totally Unabashedly Inclined
AND
If Telling The Outliers
That Within Its Gross Actions Is 
Brotherly Even Unto Godly Love
It Will Do It For The Purpose Of Gaining Cooperation
Without The Use Of
The Iron Fist In Kid Gloves!

Forked Tongue Does Bitter-Speech Sweet!

What Love Is To The Human Heart
Hate Is To The Satanically-Inspired Heart!
Where Peace Will Calm
The Raging Storm
Satan And His Henchmen
Will Stir The Wind
To Cause A Storm
That Will Intentionally Inflict Harm
AND
Thereafter
Blame The Holy God!

It Ever Works Like The Proverbial Charm!

Evil Is Always Activated By Envy
Greed
Lust
AND
Hate
Even Though The Beholder
Has More Than Plenty
On Its Plate!

Look At The Heart
In The Body Specially Prepared
By The Creator God
Who
Discontented
With All It Had Blessedly Received
Wanted For Itself
All That The Creator Kept To Himself
Inside His "Sleeve!"

The 10th Commandment
Speaks Of Covetousness For A Reason
For
Lust Of The Flesh
Birthed Within The Lustful Eye
Is Always Going To Cause
"The Fur To Fly!"
AND
The Accursed Pride
That Bane Of The Human Soul
Is Always Ever Ready
To Make
The Pride Of Life
The Unregenerate Heart's
Life Guide
AND
Sole Goal!

The Covetous Heart Will Kill!

Evil Is Guided By
Me
For Me
To Me
In Me
By Me
See Me
How Do You Like Me ... NOW?!
You Should Have Loved Me ... THEN!
I AM The Cause Of Your Felt Mayhem!
Life Is A Bastard Now!
Ahem! AHEM!

Evil Is Full
Of Bloatware
AND
Gloat-ware
AND
Every Any Thing
Which Will Of Said Evil
Inspire
Dread Fear
Compliments Of The Big Goat Fair!

Evil Is A Cancer
For Which There Is Only One Known Cure:

The Acceptance
Of The Love By Holy Sacrifice
Of The Living
Once Dead
AND
Alive For Evermore
Jesus The Christ
The Way To Eternal Life!
AND
Those Who Believe
That Economic
AND
Political
AND
Ecumenical Religious Means
Will Eradicate Evil's Deep-seated Curse
May As Well Pick A Polished Brass Number
AND
Wait ... For The Inevitable Luxury Automobile Called Hearse!

Say It With Me:

Jesus Christ In

Evil Out!

Holy Spirit Moves In

And

Satan Suffers A Terminal Rout!

Prayer Is Power!

Constant Praying Is Powerful!

Denying Self And Lifting Up Christ

Arms Us With Spiritual Weapons

With Which We Can Satanic Agencies Fight!

Immerse Your Mind In Jesus Christ

Who Is Himself Truth

And Valiantly Carry

The Word Of God

And

Shield Your Soul

With Your Measure Of Jesus' Faith

To Repel The Fiery Darts

With WhichThe Wicked Do You Shell
Hoping To Make You Fall
And 
At The Fullness Of Time
Join Them
In The Appointed Hell!

Live Right By Doing Righteous Deeds

And 

Decidedly Protect Your Head

So That Fired Rocks
Won't You Kill Dead (Like Goliath)!

Don't Set Aside Your Helmet!

It Is Your Soul's Salvation!

Let Your Well-shod Feet

Carry You Around 

To Teach The Gospel Of Jesus' Peace

Letting The World Know

What God

- Through Jesus Christ -

Has Done For You

And Will ... For Them, Too!

*********

Never Give In To Evil!

Never Give Up Your Faith In God!

Death In Christ 
Before
Dishonor By Disbelief

And
Trumpet 

God's Eternal Damnation

Upon
The Vile Corrupter-In-Chief!

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus ...

Please Don't Neglect Saying Your Prayers!

In The War Against Sin
Deception
Idolatry
AND
Poor Habits Regarding Prayer
All Christians Need The Shield Of Faith
In Order Not To Be By Satan
Maliciously Carried Away!

Satan Hates The Name Of Our Lord God Jesus
AND
Satan Poisonously Hates Us, Too
AND
He Knows That Our Not Calling
On The Name Of Christ Jesus
Gives Him Free Access
To Destroy Me And You!

So, Dear One
Don't Neglect Your Praying!
Jesus Christ Longs To Hear
What You Are Saying!

If You Don't Get The Words Just Right
The Holy Spirit Is Available
To Enjoin The Fight
To Utter Groans To The Father
Which Will Glean For Us 
Light 
To Brighten The Darkest Night
AND
Protection 
To Repel The Demonic Foes
AND
Truth
To Bless Us Where'er We Go!

Our Shield Of Faith
IS
The Prayer Of Faith
In The Name Of Him
Who Gives To Us 
Our Measure Of His Faith!

PLEASE!  PLEASE! PLEASE!

Diligently Obey 
The Command
To Pray
WITHOUT CEASING!

It Is For What Ails Us
Plagues Us
Pleases Us
Displeases Us
Teases Us
Torments Us
Frightens Us
AND
Most Importantly
To Connect Us
AND
Draw Us Closer
To Our Loving Holy Soon Returning King
Lord And God!

I Believe God ... BUT!?!

There Is A New Game Among Christians Called
Called
I Believe God ... BUT!
It Encourages Christians Called
To Question
What God Wrote
In His Holy Book!

It Permits Christians Called
To Call Into Question
The Foundation
AND
The Efficacy Of The Word
AND
Gives Satan
The Ability To
Acquire A BIG Able Goat Herd!

I AM The Way!
I AM The Truth!
I AM The Light!
I AM Your Life
Is What Jesus Christ God Says In The Instruction Book
On How To Gain Eternal Life
AND ...
Choosing To Believe The Liar
The Father Himself Of Lies
Is Indeed A Dreadful Place
For The So-Called Christian To Abide!

A Word Shall Not Change!
I AM The Word!
The Word Is My Character!
I AM The Eternal God!
No Beginning!
No Ending!
I AM!
Just Believe
For I Make Only Just Judgments
In The Life Stakes!

Choose To Believe And Receive
The Blessings Of Eternal Life
With Me
In Eternal Mansions
Where There Is No Strife
No Sorrow
No Hate
No Sadness
Only Blessing!
Choose The Glorious Blessing
Not Satan's Ignominious Fate!

I Believe God BUT ...
Is A Ploy Of The Fraud
Setting Up Man To Believe
He Can Question
Match Wits With The Holy God!

Don't Believe The Propaganda
Against God's Word Being All!
Ditch The Question!
Ditch Satan
AND
Go To
AND
Reason
With Your God
Who Loves You
With His Blood
With His Life 
AND
With His Everlasting Love!

Don't Fall 

For

The Intelligentsia's Fashions!

There Is 

No "BUT" In Believing God!

Buy The Truth

And

Sell It Not!

Satan Is The Liar

But

Jesus Christ Is All We Need

And 

With Whom We Should Cast Out Lot!

There Is A Cross Through The "I" in PAIN!

All I Saw Was The Line
Which Said
"Pain Changes People!"
And Immediately
I Had To Write For I Could Relate!
Pain Has Been My Constant Companion
And,  At Times
It Appears That Pain And I Are On
An Acrimonious Date!

But ... I Digress!

Pain Changes People!
It Causes A Person To Do
One Of  Two Things:
Bow The Head In Supplication
Or
Raise The Fist In God Condemnation
Holler And Curse At God
And
Hide Between The Sheets!

Oops! That Was Actually Four Things!

One Person Holds The "Pity Me" Party!
Another Person Chooses Abandonment Of The  Word Of Truth!
Or,  Like Me
One Chooses
Resignation With Praise
Saying With Faith-Full Confidence:
"God Does Not Own A Lounger Call Chaise!"

There Is Ignore The Facts Of The Matter!
There Is Face The Facts And Relax!
There Is Swallow Every Pill In Town and Run Around
Or, Like Me
Swallow The Scheduled Pill 
AND
Turn To God For Succor!

There Is Put Pills With Alcohol
Spin The Bottle
AND
Hope To Sod Off

OR ...

Like Me
- With Time -
Realize That In That Pain 
There Is A Testimony
AND
In This A Period Of Time Out
AND 
Take The Time To Take Stock
AND 
Regroup
AND
Not Let Pain Be The Rabid Lion On The Loose
With God Sitting Like Scaredy Cat
Up On Your Crumbling Roof!

I Choose To Bow My Head!
I Choose To Talk To My God!
I Choose To Deny The Liar
That Ecumenical Fraud!
I Chose To Take The Medication Prescribed!
I Prayed!
I Even Cried
But ...
I Never Ever
The Living Holy God Denied!

In My Life With Pain
Is An Open Secret Called Truth
Of The Fact That
The Pain Was My Blessing For
The Alternative Was The Death Curse!

By God's Great Grace
AND
Having Had The Decision Made For Me
I Am Thankful For The Life I Lead
For Otherwise
I Would Be Stone Cold Dead
AND
Rotten
AND
Forgotten
Indeed!

Pain Says
Something Is Wrong!
Pain Says:
That Soul Can Barely Get Along!
Pain Says:
Go To Your Father
He Can Fix You
Make You Strong

Unless ...

Your Life Is To Be A Witness
That Grace Is Ever Sufficient
AND
Show That 
God Is The Author
Of The Believing Child's
"I Trust God!" Love Song!

Pain Can Change
From A Problem
Into A Calamity
From Physical
To Emotional
To Spiritual
IF 
There Is No Time Called Devotional!

Pain Changes People
For Good Or For Ill!
Pain Changes People!
Like It Or Not
When In Pain
You Cannot Be Still!
Pain Changes People
Whether Or Not
They've Had Their Fill
AND
The Creator
Healer
Sealer
Is There For Our Help
If We Choose
Through Our Pain
To Be Constant In Faith
AND
Ever Trust Him Still!

Pain Is A Posy
A Passion
A Prayer!
Pain Is Friend
AND
Enemy
AND
It Holds Our Stare!
Pain Is
Can Be 
Addicting
Benumbing -  It Is True
AND
Downright Evil To Boot
AND
It Is Up To Us To Decide
If Pain Is Going To Rob Us Also
Of Our Daily
Heavenly
Necessary Food!

I Choose To Trust The Lord
By Living Faith
Not Dying Eyesight!
I Choose To Bless The Lord
AND
By Grace
Daily Fight!
I Choose To Believe
That Pain
Is The Price We Pay For Living
But ...
I Refuse To Give Pain
A Blind Red Cent
For His Joy-killing Act Of Shilling For The Devil!

Pain Is A Thief!
The Father Desires Our Relief!
Jesus Christ Is The God Police Chief!
The Holy Spirit Is The Elite Comfort Force
AND
The Angels Minister Strength In The Bitter Discourse!

Pain Carried Me

• Chased Me
• Compelled Me To Get To
• To Get Closer To
• To Stick With
• To Hang On For Dear Life

To My Jesus!

I Have Jesus For Joy
AND
Pain Has No Authority
To Play Me Like A Puppy's Chew Toy!

My Pain IS My Blessing!
It Drove Me To Home
AND
That Is Where I Intend To Stay
In The Arms Of My Jesus
Until The Closing Of My Day
Where The Song Sung
- After The Life Story -
Will Be

"This Soul Experienced A Life Of Pain

AND

Still Gave Its God His Eternal Glory!"

*********

Which Book

Is Ordering YOUR Reaction 

To THAT Pain?!

The Life In Christ Book

OR

The Science Falsely So Called Book!?

The Song Writer Said:

"I've Got Confidence

God Is Going To See Me Through

No Matter What The Case May Be

I KNOW
That God Is Going To Fix It For Me!"

*********

Embrace Jesus' Peace 

Even Though Enduring Earthly Pain Now

And

Enjoy Immortal Life 

In God's Eternal Paradise Later!

*********

Joy In The Lord Now!

Enjoy Everlasting Joy In The Lord Later!

*********

Let Us Consider Our Pain As Our Crucible

For The Refinement Of Our Character

To Be Made Fit To Become A Jewel

In The Coming King's Glorious Crown!

*********

As Hard As It Is To Say

This Life Is Not About Me!

It Is About Uplifting Him 

Who Loves Me!!

I Get To Glory In Glory

AND

God Gets The Prayers

AND

The Praise!

I Got Extras From God!

I Followed After Righteousness And Mercy!
I Desired To Possess Them
BUT
Not As You Would A Hot Car
For I Knew That They Were Gifts From Heaven
Which Have No Shelf Life
NOR
Any Coded Expiration Bar!

NOW ...

I'd Long Been Told
By The Good Book
That God Gives More
That I Could Ask For, Think, Or See
So ...
It Was No Surprise
When I Caught Up
With God's Bona Fides
That I Had Received Extras -
Not One A Booby Prize!

I Desired Righteousness!
Got It, Getting It -  I Am Being Satisfied!
I Am Doing Well With Right Living
Having By Grace
Gotten Away From Constant Sinning!

I Desired Mercy
AND
I Will Tell You True
The God Of Heaven Gave Me
What I Didn't Know I Needed,  Too!

God's Great Mercy
Gave Me
Honor
AND
Life!
Life For Living Now
AND
Later
His Eternal Life
PLUS
Honor
Such Honor
So That I Can - In This Flesh
Approach The King
AND
At That
Stand Before His Throne
Without Dread Fear
AND
Desperate Groveling!

Take My Advice!
I'm Giving It Free!
Ask God For True Blessings
AND
Without Outward Seeking
Get The Gracious Overflowing!

Thank You,  Lord
For Saving My Soul!

Luke-warm AND ... Loving It?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Am A Sinner

Rich!
                Increased With Goods!
                                                           Don't Need A Thing!

The World's Ills Can't Us Sting!

What A Joke!

Excuse Me?!

You Are Really Fooling Yourselves!

Really?!
Says Who!?!

Can't You Feel That You Are Wretched?
Stop Pretending You Are Happy
AND
From Sin Walk Away!
Acknowledge You Have A Problem
AND
Seek God For The Solution!
Living For The Praise Of Man
Places You Squarely In The Eternal Judge's Hands!

Everybody Can See That You Are Quite Miserable!
Everybody Can Hear When
While Holding Hands
You War For Supremacy!
Stop Trying To Fool The World
With Your Claims Of God's Approval
AND
Accept That Your Glitter Is Not Fooling Anybody!

Don't You Understand That You Are Poor In God's Sight?
Don't You Understand That God Sees Not As Does Man?
Are You Not Aware That Your Eyes Are Fair Oozing
AND
When You Wipe Them There's Yampee On Your Hand?

Didn't You Know That You Were Blind 
When You Led The Polished Gathering Into That Ditch?
It's Shameful That You Are So Bold
AND
Wrong In The Preaching Of Let Us Gain Covet
As You Were Panning For Earth's Fools Gold Bright Nuggets!

You May Be Well-dressed But Your Butt Is Quite Naked 
AND
The World Can Fair See Your Great Shame!
Look To The Lord
For Real
AND
Stop Faking It!
Look To The Glad Day
AND
Stop Casting Your Sure Inheritance Away!

I Beg Your Pardon!
We ARE The Church Of God
And God Really Blesses!
Look At Us!
Do We Look To You To Be Miserable
Wretched Poor?!
Some Of Us Wear Glasses
So We Cannot Be Blind
And We Can't Be Naked
For Our Clothing Comes
From The Likes Of Such As Christian Dior!

You REALLY Are Wretched
Miserable
Poor AND Naked!
You Are So Full Of Yourself
You Can't Even Walk Through The Open Door
Which The God Of The Ransomed Church
Has Laid Open For His Faithful 
Those Ones Who Acknowledge
That By Themselves
They Are Truly Poor!

Jesus Christ, Himself
Sends This Message Unto You:

Thou Art Luke-warm

And I Will Spew Thee

Out Of My Mouth!

Anoint Thine Eyes With Eyesalve 

That Thou Mayest See!

Buy Of Me White Raiment

To Cover The Shame Of Thy Nakedness!

Buy Of Me Fire-Tried Gold

That Thou Mayest Truly Be Rich!

Those Whom I Love

I Rebuke And Chasten!

So, Correct Your Walk

Least I Say Unto Thee

Thou Worker Of Iniquity

Departest Thou From Me!

You Are Kidding, Right!

God Does Not Kid!

Earthly Awards And Rewards
Speak Not Of God's Approval!
Position And Power
Don't Mean God Approves Of You Today
AND
Access Dress
Prowess And Investments
Do Not Mean
You Have A Free Pass
AND
Will Unfailingly Walk Through
Heaven's Golden Gate Ingress!

Be Zealous For God!
Repent Of Your Transgressions!
Jesus Himself Is Knocking At Your Heart's Door!
If You Will Hear Him
Don't Harden Your Heart!
Let Him In
AND
Eat With Him
AND
In The Great Day
After You The World Overcoming
You Will Sit With Him
In His Glorious Throne
At The Time Of Celebrating 
Your Longed For Homecoming!

Scales Fell Out Of Blinded Eyes

AND 

Praying Is Heard ...!

*********

PRAYER:

Dear Lord,

I Am A Sinner, And How!

I Really Liked That Pretty Stuff

But

It Left Marks On My Hands

And In My Head

And Peace From Me Has Surely Fled!

I See My Error!

I Acknowledge That I Have A Need Of You

And I Recognize 

That I have Been Walking In Shoes

On The Deadly Path

That Truly Took Me Away From You!

You Say I Can Call You, Father!

Father, I Know

I Have Been Walking The Wrong Way

So, In The Name Of Jesus

Forgive Me

And Teach Me How To Walk Right

And Live The Right Way!

Renew Me!

Remake Me!

Bless Me!

You Know How!

I Make My Stand Today!

Take Me, Lord!

I Am All Yours Now!

I Humbly Vow!

AMEN.
