UNBELIEF: Forgiveness + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Believe And Trust Your Word!

Daddy Left!
Momma Lied!
She Loved Daddy Best!
Daddy Died!
She Couldn't Cry!
Drugs!
Alcohol!
Mired By Indulgence In Unapologetic Bad Behavior
AND
Gross Promiscuity, Too
Reality And Commonsense
Had Done A Powder
AND
That Is The Truth!

Rage Builds!
Bitterness Abounds!
No One Can Get Through To Her
AND
He - Forever Wild -
Constantly
Inwardly
At His Self Frowns
AND
In The Day Of His Unmasking
The Dam Bursts
AND
The Language Is Explosive
As He
Flowingly
Does Curse!

Rage!
Hurt!
Sorrow!
Sadness!
They Are All Spent
And He
And She
Two Strangers
Sit On The Same Park Bench
Overwhelmed
Seemingly Cleansed
AND
Each Then Explains
That Self-Hatred
Was The Catalyst
The Root
Of All 
That Brought Them Shame!
Their Hearts Would Not
The Heart Could Not ... Mend!

He Said: 
"Unforgiveness!"
She Said:  
"Unforgiveness!"
Two Strangers!
Same Problem!
What About Me?
What About You?

We Go To God!
We Confess Sin!
We Repent
AND
We Ask For Forgiveness!
God Forgives Us
BUT
We Can't Seem To Forgive Ourselves!
We Can't Seem To Believe
Almighty God ... At His Word!

So ...

We Don't Forgive Ourselves
Even Though We
- By Truth Himself -
Have Been Forgiven
And, So
Crushed
We - In Self-Loathing -
Giddily Go And Join
A Rutting Wild Goat Herd!

God Has A Sea!
Forgetfulness It Is Called!
Our Repented Of Sins
- Forgiven -
Go There
Never By The Living God Holy 
Ever To Be Recalled!

Our God Is The Lord 
Faithful
Eternal
Compassionate
Offering Grace
AND
Mercy
To Me 
AND
To You!
Accept What Is Freely Given
AND 
STOP
Letting Satan Get Away
With
- By Subterfuge -
Trying To Kill You!

God Said
You Are Forgiven!
Believe It!
It's True!
So
Sic The Lord On The Devil!
Trust The Lord!
Forgive Yourself
AND
Walk To Your Heavenly Father!
He Is Holding Out His Hand - Accept It!
He Eternally Cares For You!

Unforgiveness

- Against Self Or Another -

Kills!

Don't Die Twice

Through Unbelief

When The Offer

To Triumphantly Live

In Jesus Christ

Is Freely Available To You!

TRUST GOD!

BELIEVE THE WORD

 and

LIVE!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Pray For A Brother

A Sister

My Self

My Friend

And

The Unknown Other

For We - As One -

Seem Not To Believe

Or Understand

That Our Non-Acceptance

Through Disbelief

Of Your Complete Forgiveness

Your Loving Heart Offends!

Forgive Us Our Doubt!

Help Us To Truly Trust Your Living Word

That For Us

You Do Care!

Forgive Us Our Unbelief

And Help Us The Voice Of Forgiveness To Honor

With Belief

When It, We Do Hear!

Purge Us Of Our Self-Loathing

Which Daily Is Destroying

Trembling Hearts!

Help Us To

In Faith

Call The Devil The Liar That He Is

And

From The Perverseness Of Doubt

To Depart!

You Are God!

Your Word Is Ever True

So When We Say We Love You, Lord

Help Us To Believe

And

Walk In It

If

Indeed

We Will Honor And Bless You!

In Jesus' Name, Dear Lord

Heal Our Hurts

Seal Our Hearts With Love

And

Help Us

From Devilish False Pride

To Studiously Depart!

Grant Us The Promised Victory Over Sin!

AMEN.

Doubt Deals Death And Destruction!

God Says:
"Have Faith!"
Scientific Man Stresses:
"Indulge Doubt!"

God Says:
"Walk Not Be Sight!"
"You'd Better Recognize!"
Worldly-wise Man Boldly, Insultingly, Shouts!

Almighty God Made Man!
Finite Man Makes I-Seeing Gods!
God Says:
"Follow Me!"
Evolutionary Man Says:
"I Can't - Won't - Follow What My Eyes Can't See!"

God Says:
"Faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen!"

Faithless Man Says:
"Show Me ...
The Money
The Man
The Method
The Manner
The Means
The Modes
The Might
The Mold
The Majesty
The Ministry
The Misery
The Picked Cherry
The Soul's Sole
AND THEN
Just Maybe
I Will Be On "It!" Sold!

God Says:
"Come!"
Self-Made Man Says:
Sure ... After I See You
Feel You
Taste You
Touch You
AND
Hear You
In Full Cinematic Mode!
Unless There Is A Full Hollywood-Sanctioned Presentation
A Blockbuster Blow-Out
I Proffer
You Are Neither Worthy
Nor Worthwhile!
You're Wanting!
Wishful Thinking!
I Shall You Pass By!
Bye!  Bye!
I'm Out!

Alas! Alas ...

The Day Is Coming
AND
It's Already Here
When Men
Through Their Over-Wrought Eyes
Shall Be Led
By The Damned Devil
To The Unbelievers' Despair
When Those Who Saw
With The Blind Eyes Of Faith
Shall Hear
See
AND
Rise Up
To Meet Their Longed-For Lord
AND
God
In The Open Atmosphere!

The Wilfully Sighted
Shall Be Blinded By Glorious Light!
The Blind-Faith Faithful
Shall See Their Hope Realized
AND
In Joyous Celebration Cheer
AND
In That Moment
The Cry Of Despairing Hearts Shall Go Up:

Deceived! Deceived!

Rocks! Mountains!

Fall On Us!

Hide Us

For

The Wrath Of The Lamb Is Come

And

Our Doubt Has Cost Us

The Glorious Lot!

Deceived! Deceived By Satan's Own Hand

We Seeing, Saw Not

And

For This

We Shall Never Enter

Faith's Promised Land!

God Gave Eyes
BUT
He Asks Us To See Him 
Through The Believer's Love In Our Hearts
BY
Trusting His Word
AND
Not Worrying About
What He Has Not To Us Disclosed!

Faith Walks And Works!
Doubt Drags
Deceives
AND
Delivers Disaster!
Just "Ask" A Moses Hebrew
To Tell You Of 
Their Desert
AND
Promised Land
Odyssey Of Disaster!

Faith Earns!

Doubt Doesn't Discern!

*********

Doubt Is What

Faith Is Not!

Doubt Is

A Whole Lotta Talk

Which

At The Thought Of Walking

Balks!

*********

Trust God!

He Will Deliver You

AND

For You!

What Seekest Thou?!

When We Seek

To Be More

Than What God Made Us To Be

We Become Less

Than We Should Be

Because Of

Over-Mastering

Hyper-Critical

Satan-Inspired

Gross Vanity!

Those Made

In The Image Of God

BUT

Tempted

To Be Remade

Under The Knife Of The Fraud

Are Left Destroyed

Not Knowing The Grace Of God

AND

Are Ritually

Gratuitously

Abused By Satan

Who Only Wanted To Defy The Lord

AND

Hurt One

Greatly Beloved Of Almighty God!

Let No Man

Priest Pope

Pastor Prince

President Prime Minister

Prophet, Rich Man Nor King

Nor Those With "-ist" Rankings

Encourage You

To See Your Life

As A Trivial Thing

Important

To Be Re-Designed

Possible

To Be By Man Refined

Only

To End Up On A Trap-Line

Waiting

Despairingly

Wondering

What Is To Become Of The Life

Lost

AND

No Longer Funny

BUT

Perhaps

In Hind Sight

To Be Repined!

Man Is God-Made

Not 

Hand-Carved!

Faith Is God-Given

Not 

Scent On A Neck-Scarf!

Hope Is A Gift

Of Heaven

Not To Be Confused

With Modern Pharisee-Leaven

AND

Is To Cherished

By The People Of God

Who

By Jesus Christ's Sacrificial Death

Are Covenanted

- By Request -

To Be Eternally Forgiven!

Little With Contentment

Is Great Gain!

Little Is Much

When God Is In It

Should By All People Be 

Gloriously Proclaimed!

If God

With Five Barley Loaves

AND

Two Small Fish

Can Make For 5,000 Men

Plus Women

AND

Children

A Filled-To-Satisfaction Dish

We Should Trust God

For His Personal Gift

To One AND To All

AND

Be Truly Satisfied

For The Gift Comes

From The Maker Of The Blue Ball

AND

The Known

Unknown Universe!

Don't You See That Neither

The Planets

Nor 

The Stars

Don't Out Of The Cosmos Fall?!

By God's Grace

I'm Sticking With Jesus Christ!

I'm Keeping What I've Got!

I Am Thankful For The Blessing!

Be It - To You - A Little

It Is

To Me

A Grand Lot!

*********

Look Up 

To

Jesus Christ 

And

Live!!

GEMS: Satan Has Stones! + Children Of The Father

Hath God Said?!

*************

Satan Has

Gem Stones

Jagged Gem Stones

With Which He Seeks To Ensure

He Won't Be Facing Damnation

All Alone

AND

He Uses His Stones

To Tear

AND

To Cut

As He Valiantly Tries

To Create An Army

Of Sinners

Which Will Bathe

In The Fire And Brimstone Lake

From Which There Is No Coming Back!

Satan's Stones

Are:

Higher Criticism

Of The Holy Word

AND

Reconstructing Events

For A Cause

So That God's Word Cannot Be

Honestly Appreciated

As Read AND Heard

AND

Galvanizing Doubt

AND

Thereby

Denying A Seeking Soul

The Opportunity

To His Creator To Learn About!

Second Is Evolution

Stressing That There Is No Creator God

Just Some Primordial Soup

Out Of Which

Man Was Given The Boot

AND

Encouraging Man

To Think

He Has To The Stars

Reach Out!

Third Is

Spiritualism

Where Nothing Is What It Seems

AND

The Living God Is Not Worthy

To Be Known

For Talking To Dead Men

Is Practicable

AND

Makes Our Wisdom Keen!

Fourth Is

Atheism

That Says There Is No God

AND

Puffing Up

The Fool In  His Folly

From Whence

In The Time Of Unveiling

No-God God Will Be Revealed

AND

The Fool Will Be Heard Crying:

"Oh, Lord!

Thou Art God!

That Satan Was A Fraud!"

Fifth

Is Pantheism

Where Everything Is God

With No Separation

Between The Holy And Profane

AND

Thereby

One Lives A Life

Where Everything

By Man's Vaunted Wisdom

Can Easily

Dare I Say, Readily

Be Explained!

And, Then

There Is Theosophy

The Personal Path

To Enlightenment

AND

Salvation!

Salvation By Self!

Enlightenment

By Man's Purveyed Education

Engendering A Gross Refusal

To Give

The Creator God

A Glance

A Full Look!

Children Of The Heavenly Father,

I Say Unto You

That

We Need To Trust

The Word Of God

By Not Trusting A Man

To Unabashedly Tell Us

What Somebody Else

With A Personal Agenda

Said

Is What God

Is Supposed To Have Said

AND

Thereby

Permitting Them

To Interpret

The Preserved Word Of God For Us

Because We Mere Mortals

Are Incapable Of Understanding

What God Has Personally

Distinctly

Understandably

To Each Man Said!

Think Garden Of Eden

AND

The Serpent And Eve

AND

The Resultant

Continuing Horror

Of Doubt AND Unbelief!

The Holy Spirit Is Our Teacher

AND

Of Him

There Is No Need To Be Afraid!

We Are Called To Use The 

Here A Little

There A Little

Precept Upon Precept

Line Upon Line

Method Of Interpretation

aka

Let The Bible Explain Itself

AND

Thereby

Deny The Devil An Opportunity

To Laugh At Us

While Acting All Benign!

When Proffered Gems

Won't Shine With Holy Light

Or

Shine Like Swollen Dog Stones

We Need To Leave

Those Puppies Alone

And

Head To God's Always Welcoming Throne!

Satan Is The Liar!

He Created That Gem Called

Bait AND Switch

AND

He Leads One Down A Pretty Garden Path

Situated Over

A Quick-Sand Death-Ditch!

Satan Stresses:

"Forward Ever!"

Satan Lauds:

"I've Got Your Back!"

When All He's Really Doing

Is Dealing From The Bottom

Of The Visible Card Deck

That He - Himself

With Perfect Malice

Personally

Deliberately Stacked!

Please ...

Let Us Trust Our Almighty God

AND

The Living Holy - As Stated - Word

AND

Give Satan

The Backs Of Our Fronts

AND

Live

With The Blessed Hope

The Hope Of Glory

Achieved By

Christ Living In Me And You

If It Is Our Desire

To Achieve

Eternity

For A Permanent View!

*********

Give God His Glory

In Jesus' Name!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The God Of Order + PRAYER: Lord, Feed Us ...!

Almighty God Is The God Of Order!
Nothing In His House Is Out Of Place!
Nothing In God's House Is Broken
AND
There's Nothing There 
That Needs To Be Replaced!

God's House Is Filled
With Splendiferous Mansions!
I've Never Seen One
BUT
I Accept The Word Of God
To Be The Living Truth!
I Believe That God Is My Father
AND
That My Father Always Speaks
God's Immutable Words Of Truth!

God's Word Says
I Have No Excuse For Sin
Because God's Law Is Written
On The Tablet Of My Heart!
The Same Heart That Used To Be Quite Rotten
BUT
Which
Through The Faith Of Christ Jesus
I've Asked The Holy Spirit
To Move Into
So That The Urge To Sin
Is Forced To Depart
AND
I Shall Henceforth
With Cause
Ever Sing God's Praises
Like A Very Contented Lark!

PRAYER:

Dear Father, Up In Heaven

You Who Hallow My Days

I Thank You

For My Call To Christian Duty

Proclaiming The Word Of The Gospel

AND

Not To Go Around The World

Playing

Mind Games!

Teach Me Thy Ways, Dear Father!

Help Me To Walk Faithfully In Them 

Each And Every Day!

Help Me To Stand Up

So That I

As A Child

May Be Counted

And

Help Me Not From Hard Tasks

To Run Away!

Help Me

To Pray Always

And

To Love

With Real Care

Doing The Work Of Him

Who Has Sent Me

And

Not Doing Things Half Way!

Father,

Please Take Obscuring Beams

From My Eyes

And

Wash And Bridle My Tongue

So That I Will Refuse To Utter

The Convenient Lie

Which Would Cause Me

To The World's Way

With Alacrity

To Comply!

Bless Your People

Dear Lord, I Pray

To Do Your Bidding

With A Ready Heart!

May They As Good Ambassadors

On Great And Small Missions

Deliver True Messages

Of Love, Grace And Faith!

Help Them To Speak Truly

Of The Blessing

Abiding

In Obedience To Your Will

And

Help Them To Hold Forth

With Compassion

The Need For Confession

And

Repentance

To All Hearers!

Father!

Help Them To Get Through Even To Our Youth!

Lift Us Up, Lord

To Lift You Up

And

Forgive Us Our Trespasses

When We Mess Up!

Help Us To Swiftly Confess And Repent

Of Our Sins

So That You Will Erase Them

From Your Remembrance Book!

Lord, Help Us Not To Commit

The Presumptuous Sin

And

To Never Grieve The Holy Spirit Away!

Help Us Not To Truth Deny

Nor To Run After

The Devil's Pie In The Sky!

Help Us To Be Contented

No Matter The Manner We Live

So That

We May Eat Grass

And Still Grow Big

With Lovely Hearts That Willingly Give!

Feed Us, Dear Father

The Blessed Bread Of Life

And

Lead Us So That We May Avoid

Imbibing From

The Waters Of Strife!

Guide Us To The Promised Land

Teaching Us All The Way

So That We Will Have Right To The City

And

May Blessedly

Walk Through

Your Pearly Gates

On The Appointed Date!

We Love You, Lord!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Have Mercy, And Bless!

AMEN.
