ARGUMENTS: Concluding The Matter + PRAYER: Lord, Make Me Whole!



Stop It!
You Stop It!

You Are Deaf!
And Your Heart Is Blind!

What Did You Just Say?!

I Did Not Stutter!
I Plainly Said:
"Your Heart Is BLIND!!

How Can A Heart Be Blind?!?

A Heart Is Blind 
If It Can't See
The Revealed Heart That Loves It Best
AND
It Refuses To Acknowledge 
The Voice
That Is Calling It Home To Safety
And Rest!

It Is Blind
When It Refuses To See The Truth
Trusting Instead
In Lusty Fables
Seeing Only Self-Portraits
That Lie
As It Writes
Self-Encouragement
To Hell
Pretending
It's A Letter To A Horse Stable!

There Is Really No Need
For You To Be So All-Fired Rude!

He Really Loves You!
Who Are You Talking About?!

He Gave You An Open Invitation
To Go And Live In His House!
Who ... What Are You Talking About?!

He Saved You Last Night!
Who ... Where Did You Hear That?!
Why Did He Do That?!
I Don't Understand Him!

I Thought You Didn't Know Who He Is?!
Well ...! Ah hmm ...!

He's Coming Back ...!
When?! Where?! Why?!

Oh, Never Mind!
It Doesn't Really Matter To You!
Forget I Said Anything ...!

No, I Can't!
I Feel Foolish!
I Am Confused!
So Many Differing Opinions
That Are For Or Against Him
And I Can't Seem To Choose!

I'm Tired Of Lying To Myself!
I'm Tired Of Doctrine This
And Doctrine That
Learned Opinion This
And Educated Opinion That!
I Need To Know The Real-Real Man ... God
For I'm Tired Of Two-Stepping
With Yonder Satan The Fraud!

Okay. Okay!
You've Stated The Problem
AND
You've Named All The Parties Involved
BUT
Do You Know Who To Go To - And How -
To Receive Your Solution?
I Think So!

Will You Call Him By His Name?
I Believe So! Yes! I Will!

How Will You Approach Him?
Humbly. Respectfully. Prayerfully.
With Hope. In Faith. Utilizing Trust!

Wow!
So Why Were We Arguing If You Know All This?!
Oooh! Forget That!

Okay! Soooo, When Will You Approach Him?
Maybe Later ... When I Get Home .. ! Or Tomorrow!
I Don't Knowwww!

How About Right Now?!
Right Now?!

He Is Here!
Where?!
How Did He ...?!

Talk To Him!
He Loves You!
Tell Him The Truth!
He Will Take Care Of You!

NO, HE ... can't ...!
I Can't ...!
I Feel ... So ... Ashamed!

Come On!
You Can Do This!
Let Him Into Your Heart!
He Will Take Care Of The Rest!
Go Ahead ...!

Okay!
Okay!
Here Goes Nothing! ... Everything!
I Am Going To Do It!



PRAYER:

Come Into My Heart, Lord Jesus!
Bless It And Make It Your Home!
Come Into My Heart, Lord Jesus
And
Depose Satan From His Stolen Throne!
I Am Tired - My Sins I Confess!
My Soul Is Sorrowing -
Satan In My Life Is A Constant Pest!
Please Heal Me, Lord, Of My Distress!
I Repent! I Repent!
Help Me, Oh God, Not Again To Relent!

My Youth, Oh, Lord
Has Been Truly Misspent
And Now
Like My Pocket
My Soul Is Out To Let!
Help Me, Lord!
Heal Me!
Guide Me!
Show Me The Right Way
And
With Your Promised Grace
Take Me To That Heavenly Place!

I Need To Be Whole!
Help Me To Walk Right
Into Your Sheep Fold!
Please Give Me Back
That Which That Wicken Satan Stole!

Fix Me, Lord Jesus!
Make Me, In You, Whole
For Out In The World
All I Felt Was Burdened
Cold!
Draw Me Into Your Warmth
Remove The Chill From My Soul
For I Desire To Be Yours Only
Save My Soul, Lord!
Save My Soul!
AMEN.

Amen! Amen! Amen!

My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me!



The Biggest Failure
Of My Life
Was Doubting 
The Good Faithfulness Of God
Who
Made A Blessing For Me
Out Of A Boldly Malicious Deceit Of The Fraud!

I Have Often Wondered
How Is It Possible
To Tell The Living God
Years Later
One Is Sorry For One's Long Ago Sin
When
The Product Of Your Sin
Saves Your Life -
It's Beyond My Understanding!

This Issue "Tormented"
My Spirit For Years -

Father, How Can I Be Sorry
For A Wrong
When
Months Later
By Its Advent
In Dire Distress
I Was Made Strong -
How IS This Possible?
Open My Eyes Lord!
I Have No Desire To Face The Unconfessed
Unrepentant Sinner's Frown!

And,  Then ...

With The Inevitable Passage Of Time
AND
A Willingness
To Let The Lord Christ
To Me
Be The One Divine
Ever So Often
I Would Talk To God On This Matter!

What I Did
Was Upright Sin
BUT
My God Had Not Me Forsaken
AND
Out Of A Prompted Evil
In Mercy For Me
Almighty God
Over-Rode The Desire Of The Devil
AND
Made A Way
That He For Good
Could Make A Use Of Me!

Sexual Sin
Is Sin Against One's Very Soul!
Thievery
Is Sin Against Someone's Property Or Cash Cold!
Willful Destruction Of A Man's Character
Is A Sin Which Makes The Man Poor
But Doesn't Make Us Rich
AND
Blasphemy
Is Proud Sin
Bold Sin 
Against The Holy God
Who Sits On Heaven's Throne
Which Will Get Us Into Hot Hell
By God's Vengeance
Served Cold!

But I Digress.

It Took Time ... But I Learned
God Is Faithful!
Even Though His Love We Spurn
God Forgives
AND
He Has A Thousand Ways  To Save
That We Not Of!

Sin Has Its Own Reward
But
Out Of Evil
Cometh Good
BECAUSE
God Said:
It's A Promise ...

ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD
To THEM THAT LOVE God
AND ARE CALLED
According To HIS PURPOSE!

BUT ... Be Ye Warned

All Sin Takes A Toll On The Soul
AND
Presumptuous Sin
Is Amongst The Worst
For That Type Sin
Always Births Running Foals
AND
Left Unchecked
Before The Living God
Is Going To Cost The Sinner His Soul!

I Went Before The Lord!
I Explained My Predicament!
I Said With My Mouth
That I Was Sorry
AND
Then Humbly Asked:

Father,  
How Do I
Of This Sin Honestly
With A Contrite Heart
Truly Repent?

The Reply Is Simple
Yet
Profound:

Against Me
Against Me Only
Hast Thou This Sin Done!
I Am Your Father!
I Said To You In My Commandments
Don't Do It
But
You Permitted The Devil
Against Me
To Turn You Around!

Your Sin Is Not In Choosing To Believe
The Lie Of Satan
But In Not Choosing To Believe 
The Truth Of Your God
And For This
You've Borne Many Sorrows
That By Obedience You Could Have Avoided
And Lived In Tranquility
Your Life Long!
Remember Eve And Adam!

The Person With So-Called
 Life And Death Power
And
Food And Shelter
Peace And Security
Even Love
Which Often At Man's Hands
Turn Into Hate Power
Has No Real Power
Nor Control Over You!

I Gave Unto You Free Will
A Measure Of Faith
Grace To Find Help
And Grace For Each Day
And
Against Every Temptation
A Sure Way Of Escape!

All Sin Must Be Repented
No Matter If For God
You Are Doing A Good Work
For
You May Work To Save Others
But
For Yourself
You May Find Your Own Salvation
An Unutilized Heaven-Given Perk!


All Sin Is Against The God Of Heaven
And Is Against
- Over Us -
His Sovereignty
AND
By Giving Place To The Devil
We Are Likening Him
To Heaven's Own Royalty!

I Finally Understood
As
Before The God Of Heaven
One Day I Stood:

Every Check Mark
Has To Have Against It
A Corresponding Balance -
By Repentance Paid ... Sin Erased
BUT
By Unrepentance Left Unpaid ... Against My Name
The Sin Stayed!

If Sin Is Left Unrepented
In The Day Of Fierce Judgment
My Subsequent Righteousness
That Is ... My Subsequent Right Living
Will Not The Death Angel's Hand Stay!

A Christian Has No Excuse
For Sin To Remain Unrepented Of
BECAUSE
Under The Agency
The Prompting
Of The Holy Spirit
- As King David Said -
The Sin Is Ever Before You!

For Many, Many Years
Every Single Night
I Would Say:

Create In A Clean Heart,  Oh,  God ...!
Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence ...!
Take Not Your Holy Spirit From Me ...!
Return Unto Me The Joy ...!
Uphold Me ...!

Until
I Finally Understood Why:

The Sin Was/Is Sinful!
The Blessing Was/Is Real!
God IS The Father
AND
His Ways Never Fail!




Then I
With My Heart In My Throat
AND
Truly Repentant
Repented To My God
In The Name Of My Jesus
AND
I Am  ...  Forgiven!


Satan Cannot Outwit God!
What Was Meant
For My Eternal Destruction
Was Overridden
In The Court Of Heaven!

God Knows Our Hearts!

*********


When We Choose
To Work With
And
For God
God Mercifully Works On Us
To Remove From Our Person
The Putrifying Sores
From The Fraud
To Gain For Us
His Eternal Blessings!

*********

Trust God!

He Restores!

*********


Beloved . . .
Is There Something
Anything
That You Need To Place
On The Altar
Of Sacrifice . . . TODAY?!

The Great Commission + PRAYER: Lord, I Crave Your Blessing




God Gave Me Seeds To Sow!
Someone Else Will My Seeds Water!
The Holy Spirit Will Give The Increase
So That My Seeds Will Have
Sons And Daughters!

My Seed-Children
Will Have Seed-Children Of Their Own!
Some May Die A-borning!
Some Will Land On Fertile Soil
Letting All Upon The Earth Know
That The Kingdom Of God
Is Hell's Gates
A-Storming!

I Do Not Know
How Many Generations Of Seed-Children
I Will Beget
For
That Is In The Hands Of God Almighty
Against Whose Power No One Can Bet!
My Task Is To Believe
AND
Do The Work I Receive
So That God Gets All The Glory
For His Will
Will Be Achieved!

God Has Given Precious Promises Unto Man
AND
I Choose To Believe Them
For
These Promises Came
At The Cost Of The Life
Of The Beloved Christ
King Jesus Sweet
So That The Obedient
The Trusting
The Faithful
The Enduring
Will Leave This Earth Forever
In The Chariots Of God
That Don't Rely On Running Feet!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Crave Your Blessing
Upon The Work You Ordained
That I Should Do!
Help Me To Do It Faithfully
Giving Honor
Praise And Glory
Unto You!

Help Me
Not To Rely On Man's Approbation
To Dictate What To Do
What To Write
What To Say!
Let My Will Into Your Will
Be Enfolded
So That I
Willingly
May Be Instructed
Directed
Ordered
By Only You
Each And Every Day!

Let My Faith
In My Jesus
Be Set Firmly!
Let My Courage Not Waffle
In The Winds Of Strife
And
Let Not Sin Beset!
Let My Destination
The Heavenly Home
Be The Breath That I Breathe
And
Let Your Holy Spirit
Be
The Only Spirit
Unto Whom I Will Cleave!

Father,
May Your Holy Angels Ever Surround!
Let Not Disappointments
Cause Me To Frown!
Let Faith
Grace
AND
Mercy Attend My Way!
Let Hope Hold My Heart!
Let The Light Of The Coming Christ
Shine
Even If It Is In A Prison Cell
Or A Forest Retreat
Where I Must At Night Sleep!

Lead Me Home
In The Name Of Jesus Who Saves!
Oh, Lord
Lead Thou Me
Victoriously
On!
AMEN.

*********

I Will Walk
In Wisdom
Come What May
Trusting In My Jesus Every Day!
Heaven Is My Home
And
Thank God
I Don't Walk Alone
For An Angel Guard Surrounds Me
And I Pray!

But For The Love Of Shiloh
The Great I Am
The Returning One
In Whom Is No Hidden Agenda
Nor Misdirecting Device!
Great Is Our God!

Oh, Lord
Help Me To Live Clean
Denying The Liar
Even The Token Victory!
Help Me Not To Desire To Be Seen And Heard
Nor To Yearn 
After The Trifles And Enchantments
Of The Goat Herd!
Help Me To Live As A Sheep
Walking Faithfully Behind The Lamb
For The Desire Of My Heart
Is To Reach Heaven's Table Land!
Seal Me!
Save Me In The Day Of Battle
In Jesus' Name, I Stand And Plead!
Grant Me, Lord
The Promised Victory!
AMEN.

Oh, Taste And See!





Oh, To Have A Penitent's Heart
Not As One Given To Self-Flagellation
BUT
Wearing The Mantle
Of The Living Faith Of Jesus Christ
Who Died To Expunge My Disgrace!

Oh, To Live The Life Of Faith
Not Given To Selfish Displays
BUT
Given To Walking Humbly Before God
With The Banner:

"Redeemed Of Jesus Christ!"

Shining
Upon My Believer's Hopeful Face!

Oh, For A Tongue
To Speak The Truth
Always With Compassion
While Loving The Sinner Who Once Was I
Treading Waters Deep
Headed Toward The Grave!

My Self Once Lost
Now In Christ Is Found
Striving For The Mastery!
Old Ways Are Eschewed
For Heaven Is In My View
For I
From Sin
Has Been Rescued!

Oh, Taste And See
That The Lord Is Good
AND
Learn That The Devil Is A Liar
AND
His End Will Come Like A Flood!

Trust In The Lord!
He Defends His Own!
His Throne Is Eternal
AND
It Stands Majestic
Alone
AND
He Is Waiting
In The Fullness Of Time
To Welcome The Beloved Saints 
To The Glorious Home!

I Tasted
AND
I Saw
That God Is Good!
Now That I Know
I Daily Eat
And I Don't 
For Earthly Possessions Claw!

*********

Will You Take A Taste?!
