Judge Samson And The SIF + PRAYER: I Am Your Servant, Lord!

True Greatness

Is Controlling  Personal Passions

And

Not Letting Passions

And

Defects In The Character

Control The Will!

*********

Sampson Betrayed His God
AND
Himself
By Having No Self Control!
His Integrity Was Betrayed By
"She Pleaseth Me Well!"
AND
Thereby
His Inability
To Utter A Firm "No!"
In The Face Of Strong Temptation
AND
The Urge Toward Raging Sin
Was Undeniably 
Stripped Away!

Where Was His SIF?!

MIA!
AWOL!
Absconded!
Done Run Away!

Yup!

What Is SIF?!

S. I. F.  Is
Self-control
Integrity
AND
Firmness!

Sense Lacked
Sensibility!
His Secret To Strength Was Under Attack
AND
The Desire Of His Flesh
Unchecked
- A Stumbling Block -
Ushered Samson
Into The Hand Of Satan
Who Didn't Fear
His Clear Weakness
To Hijack!

Master Your PASSIONS!

Master Your SELF!

And

Master Your MIND

By Being To Almighty God

Devotedly INCLINED!

God Gives Unto Us
The Secret Of Our Success
- Hold On To Your S. I. F -
It's Your Master Control!

Let The Lord Lead You
AND
Holy Angels Will Defend
AND
Don't Be Overcome
By Taste Buds
That Caused
The Ultimate Destruction
AND
Death
Of The Strongest Of Strong Men!

God Bears With Men Long
Issuing Calls To Repentance
BUT
Continuing Descents
Into Known Corruptions
Will Ultimately Lead Us
To A Decimating Volcanic Eruption
Which
If We Are Not Completely Abandoned
To Self And To Sin
Will Lead Us
To True Self Discovery
AND
Confession
AND
Repentance
AND
Asking The Living God
For Mercy's Help
AND
Grace's Full Restitution!

Master Your PASSIONS!

Master Your MIND!

Live In God's LIGHT

And

Leave The Urge To Sin BEHIND!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Am Your Servant

And

Keep Me Willing

Is My Heart's Honest Prayer!

Let My Work Be The Work

You Desire From Me

And

Help Me To Be Joyful

In The Doing

Doing It All Quite Gladly!

I Pray, Lord

To Be A Co-worker

A Co-worker With Thee

Advancing The Work

Of

The Lord's Coming Kingdom

Pointing Souls Unto Thee!

Please Fix The Defects In My Character

Fashioning For Me A Garment Of Praise

Granting Me The Victory

Over Untoward Passions

So That I May Rejoice

In The Glory Days!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name I Make My Plea!

 AMEN.

PLEASURES: "Secret" Sin?!?

Humans Love A Good Open Sin

To Do

To Brag Of

To Drag Someone The Coals Over

BUT

When It Comes To Secret Sin

Hey! Hey!

When Caught Out

They Would A Duppy Roll Over!

Secret Sin

Is

Man's Favorite Kind!

"You Ain't See Me

So I Didn't It Do!"

BUT

Catch A Person

With His Hands In The Stew

AND

His Sinning Is Your Fault

That Bold Sinner Will Argue!

Just As For Open Sin

Confessing Secret Sin

Is Good For The Soul

AND

Making Repentance

Before The Lord

Gets One Out Of The Hands Of The Fraud

BUT

We All Need To Remember

Sin Can't-Never A Secret Be

Because

He Who Sees All

AND

Knows All

Done Mek A Record Of It

AND NOW

You've Got A Black Mark Against You!

I Know

'Cause I Had Me A Few, Too!

"Out Of Darkness 

Into Light!"

Is A Good Word To Remember 

AND

To Hold Onto

If We Will Win

This Life's Dread Against-Sin Fight!

God Is Watching!

Angels Are Watching

AND

Recording 

Good

AND

Bad Works, Too

So Think Twice

AND

Don't Permit Lying Satan

To Mamaguy You!

The Same One Who

Encourages You To Sin

Is

The Same One Who

About Your Sin

Will Be Rabidly Talking!

Trust Your Soul

To None But

Jesus Christ The Lord

Doing All That He Has Commanded Us

AND, THEREBY

We

Will Escape

The Strangulation Cord

Of

The Already-Damned Fraud!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Am Sorry

Forgive Me, I Pray!

I Was Oft' Malicious

And

I Walked Right

In My Own Way!

I Repent Of My Sin!

I Am Sorry

That I Walked

However I Chose

Even Though The Walking

Was Nothing But A Pose!

So, Help Me, 

I Beseech You

To Set Aside Self

And

In Your Heavenly Love

From This Day On

To Abide!

Help Me, My Father

 Ever

In Your Love

To Confide!

I Love You, Lord

And

In The Name

Of

The Beloved Jesus

I Stand, And I Plead!

AMEN.

PRAYER : Father, Please Carry Us Safely Home!

Father,

I Come To You

For You Are The Holy God

Always Able

Always Available

Always Blessing!

Thank You, Lord!

I Come With A Burden

For Those Who Teach The Truth

But

Won't Walk In It!

Who Qualify The Truth

And

Stall Believer's Faith In It!

Who Preach Another Gospel

And

Another Jesus Christ -

A Jesus Made Of Wide Rainbows

Extruded From A Demonic Device!

Father,

You Said We Shall Know Men

By Their Own Works

So We Don't Have To Judge Falsely

For Their Own Words And Works Are Perverse!

I Pray For Them

That You Will Grant Them New Hearts

Made Not Of Stone

But Of Flesh

Molded By The Redeeming Savior

Who Will Issue Judgment

From The Great White Throne!

I Pray For Them

Eye Salve

From Heaven's Apothecary

So That Sight May Be Healed

So They Are No Longer By Self

And

By Satan

Deceived!

I Pray For Them

Unstopped No Longer Itching Ears!

Help Them, Lord

To Set Aside The Temporal

And Pick Up The Eternal -

Heal Their Backsliding!

Help Them To Squarely Face Their Fears

By Giving Them To The True God

Who For Their Soul Cares!

I Pray,  Lord

For Those Carnality's Purse

Those Who For Dollar Bill

Are Willing Your People To Curse!

Father, Forgive Us Our Trespasses

And

Incline Our Hearts To You!

I Pray, Lord

For Those Who Are Steadfast

And

Walking Grounded

In The Gospel Truth

And

I Ask You To Hold Up The Faithful

And

Help Us To Shine The Light

Of Christ's Love

Upon A World Faltering

Floundering

In Deception's Dark Deceits!

Hold Us Up And Shield Us, Lord

For Devil-Inspired Wickedness

As We Share Christ's Faith

By Speaking The Unvarnished Truth -

Your Holy Words Of Life!

Rid Us Of Self - That Scourge Of Mankind

And

Help Us

For The Love Of The Lord Christ

To Leave Sin And Sinning

To Satan And His Kind!

Father,

Feed Us!

Lead Us!

And

Shelter Us In Heaven-Blessed Folds

And

Help Us Hold Fast To Our Desire

To Sing Praises

To Our Almighty God!

Carry Us Safely Home

In Jesus Christ's Name We Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Father, Please Do Not Cast Me Away!

Oh, Lord,

Your Law Is Perfect -

Let It Convert My Soul

For I Desire

By Jesus Christ

In The Here And Now

And Then Forever

To Be Saved!

Your Testimony, Lord

Stands Sure

Unshakable -

Please Let It Make This Simple Soul Wise

Unto Salvation

Walking Wisely

Not Wildly

Holding To The Right

Not Emboldening The Wrong

So That I

In The Judgment

Won't Have To Suffer

Your Condemning Frown!

Your Statutes, Lord

I Know Are Right -

Let My Heart Be Humble

Let My Faith Rejoice

In Triumphant-Over-Sin's Song!

Help Me Not To Rewrite The Words Of Truth!

Help Me To Let The Holy Spirit

Lead Me

Guide Me

Teach Me

Chide Me

So That I Will See My King True

Before Long!

Your Commandment, Lord, Is Pure!

Please Enlighten These My Blind 

And Yet

Searching Eyes!

Let Me Ever See You

So That

Satan Can't Me With Impunity Assail!

Please Draw Away The Sin-set Separating Veil!

Please Help Me To You To Stand Close

And

Please Grant Unto Me Strength

For A Death Drip On Eternal Life

Denying The Liar A Strong Hold

And

The Minions A Knife!

To Fear You, Lord

Is Known To Be Clean

For It Is The Beginning Of Wisdom

Which Causes Me To Cast Off

The Unclean

The Vile

The Obscene!

Lift Me Up, Lord

To Do Thy Will Each Day

And

If I Do Stumble

From Thy Presence

Please

Do Not Cast Me Way!

Your Judgments, Lord

Are Altogether Righteous And True!

Help Me, Therefore

To Walk Faithfully

In The Light

Before And Unto You

So That

The Encroaching Darkness

I Will Fight With Truth And Right

Denying Satan Any Opportunity

My Eternal Prosperity To Blight!

In The Day Of My Trial, Lord

Jesus The Christ

The Mediator

My Savior Divine

Is Pleading For Me My Case

So, Please

I Beseech You

Let Not This Servant

To Fables

Be Drawn Away In Disgrace

For Holding Forth Darkness For Light

Calling Bitter Sweet

And

Self-Righteously

Uncaringly

Casting Truth Down

In The Street

And

Running After

The Devil's Falsely Sweet

And

Eternally Poisonous Treats!

Father, I Love You!

I Honor

Bless

And

Worship You

For You Are The God Who Loves Me

The God Who Is Ever Faithful

Ever Kind

Eternally Holy

And

Everlastingly True!

Please Lead Me Gently Home

For

I Desire To Live In Peace

Forever

With You!

In Jesus Christ's Name I Plead!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Help Us To Accept You, Lord, At Your Word!

Father,

I Come To You

As A Child

Seeking Blessing

Counsel

And

Guidance

And

Willing Your Sure Word To Obey!

I Beseech You

To Help Me Ever To Hear

Your Still Small Voice

And

With My Hearing, Lord

Help Me Ever To Heed

So That I Will Not Turn

To The Left

Nor To The Right

Being Spun Around

And Used

By Satan

For A Disposable Steed!

Lord,

Help Me To Live

In The Blessed Light Of Life

That I Have Received

And

Help Me To Grow In Your Grace

As I Walk

In Faith

Towards The Heavenly Home

The Eternal Resting Place

From Which Overcomers

Through The Beloved Christ

Shall Never Roam!

Father,

Grant Unto Your Blessed People

Ever Increasing Knowledge

Of Your Truth

Understanding To Accept It

And

Wisdom For Its Use!

Help Us Not To Use Truth

Like A Big Stick

Nor As A Battering Ram

Nor As A Wet Noodle

To Tickle The Ears Of Those

We Are Reaching For 

Your Living

Loving

Holy, Coming, Kingdom!

Help Us, Lord

To Be Compassionate

Speaking The Truth In

And With Love

Not Hiding Brass Knuckles

Inside Pristine White Gloves!

Help Us, Lord

To Speak Soft Answers

To Turn Away Cruel Wrath!

Help Us To Walk The Straight And Narrow Path

Never Uttering False Words For Graft!

Help Us Never To Be Double-Minded

Nor To Indulge Craftiness

And

Deceit

Devil-diving For Dollars

Nor Be Inclined Unto Conceit!

Help Us, Dear Lord

To Lean Ever Upon Christ

Never Betting Our Salvation

On Satan's Loaded Dice!

Help Us To Accept

Your  "No!"

Your "Yes!"

Your "Wait!"

Your "My Grace Is Sufficient For You!" Too

Trusting You Wholly

Because You Are Faithful

Kind

Loving

Holy

And

Eternally True!

Grant Unto Us, Dear Lord

Grace

And

Faith

For Each Day

The Comfort Of The Holy Spirt

Strength For The Journey

And

Courage

And

The Angelic Guard

For The Way We Must Walk

No Matter How It Is Paved!

Bless Those, Lord

Who Bless Us By Speaking The Truth!

Pity Those

Who Elevate Falsely Acquired Youth 

Over Acquiring Your Holy Truth!

Satisfy Those

Who Hunger After The Truth

And

As Promised

Mark Well

The Graves Of Those

Who Died In And For

Christ's Truth!

Hear Our Prayer

And

Bless Us With Peace

And

The Healing Rest Of The Just

In Jesus' Name We Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Burning Goats Don't Float!

Fret Not Thyself
Because Of Evil Doers
AND
Know
That Of A Surety
Obedience Unto God
Will Be Rewarded!

Your Reward Is Known!
Claim It!
Walk Unto God
Even If You Walk Alone
AND
Don't Permit Yourself
By Satan
To Be Wickedly Defrauded!

Choosing To Honor God
Means
That You Choose To Live
With Satan's Rabid Hate
AND
This, My Friends
Let All Christ-Believers Appreciate
That Sheep From Goats
Thereby
Are Completely Separated!

Faith Without Works
Is Dead!
Loving The Unseen God
AND
Hating Your Visible Brother
Marks You As
A To-Truth Nutter
So
Do The Right
Walk Upright
In All Truth And Light
AND
Through God's Grace
You Will Your Daily Battles 
Calmly 
Look Square In The Face!

God Is Not A Liar
Neither Can He
Through Lack Of Sleep
Tire
So
Lift Up Your Gaze
AND
Call Satan What He Is
- A Disgrace -
AND
Let Abiding Love Cause You
With Compassion
To Wash A Brother's
A Sister's
Dirty Face!

Truth Is Truth
AND
Lie Is Lie!
Jesus Is Returning
AND
With Him
Believers Will Soon Fly
BUT
Only If Through Faithful Endurance
The Machinations
Of The Devil
We Strenuously Deny!

There Will Be No Skaters In Heaven
No Eaters Of Pharisee Leaven
No Drinkers Of Babylonian Wine
Nor Mere Men Who Call Themselves
Gods On Earth
Forgivers Of Sin
Holy
AND
Divine!

Sisters Sometimes Have Brothers
AND
Brothers Sometimes Have Wives
AND
Satan Bedevils Men
By Selling Pretty Lies!
Be Not Deceived Thereby!
God Is Not Mocked!
Satan Is After You
Because He Wants To Keep
His Companions-For-Hell Basket
Well And Truly
Fully Stocked!

Some Men Live Like Lice
AND
Some Men Think Vice Is Nice
AND
Some Think That License
Is A Perfect Device
For Liberty
For Looseness
AND
For Goosing Old Goats
BUT
God Is The Judge Of All
Beholding
AND
Recording 
All That We Say
AND
All That We Do
AND
That Is No Joke!

KNOW THIS ...

Whatever Garden We Tend And Plant
Burning Goats
On Glorious Wings
Don't Float
BUT
Obedient Sheep
To Highest Heaven 
Will Surely Advance!

So ...

Don't Spend Your Few Groats

On Fake News

Selling

Disinformation!

Buy The Truth
AND
Sell It Not
AND
Sing Praises!
Sing Praises
To The Eternal God

AND

Let Your Heart
In Jesus Christ
Be Glad
AND
Thereby
Make The Adversary Of Souls
Really, Really, Sad!
