A Mind To Know The Eternal God!







How Can I?!
Why Would I
Mindlessly Worship
A Useless False God
When My Creator God
- Omnipotent Omniscient Omnipresent -

Who Does The Universe Control
Thoughtfully
Lovingly
Graciously
Blessedly
Gave Unto Me:

  • A Mind To Know Who The Giver Of My Life Is
  • Eyes To See His Creations
  • The Eye Of Hope To See Tomorrow's World
  • A Heart Full Of Jesus Christ's Faith To Personally Know Him, And
  • Ears To Hear The Holy Spirit's Still Small Voice Telling Me Of Everlasting Love And Filling My Very Being With The Truth Ever Current - Never Old - Of Heavenly Sureties?!

How Can I?!
Why Would I
Mindlessly Worship
A Useless False God 
When - By Faith - 
I Can Take Hold Of That Holy And Strong Hand
Proffered By The One True God
To Walk Straight On His Narrow Way 
Never Looking Back To Things That Cannot My Soul Prosper
Never Doubting His Blessings
AND
His Peace And Rest Favor
AND
Being Willingly Obedient
Always Having A 

"Yes, LORD!" Though My Strong Men Tremble
As My Trusting Heart Quivers
As I Eye The Separating Line
While Holding On To Grace
AND Accepting The Mercy
That Purchased Me A Place
In The Land Of Blessedness
Where My Angel Guardian Now
Will Be My Angel Companion Then
Where I Shall Know The Lover Of My Soul
That Very One Who Gives The Beloved Faithful Ones
Life

AND
That Without Without End?!
What Saith My Soul?!

My God
The Lord Jesus Christ
Is
Real!
Able!
Available!
True!
Just!
Faithful!
Forgiving!
Saving!
Redeeming!

Providing And Sustaining
AND
In The Name Of The Very Same Jesus Christ
I Can't My Knee Bow To The Abominable 
The Base
AND
By The Grace Of The Living God Eternal
- Strong To Save -
I Won't!

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord, Most Holy
Help Me To Live To You
Faithfully
Trustingly
Lovingly
Obediently
And
Worshipfully
Hopeful
And
Daily
Prayerfully Mindful
Of
Your Living Love
And
To Be To My Brethren
Helpful And Kind
On Your Plumb Line!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Humbly Plead!
I Love You, Lord
For You Are The God Holy
Divine!
AMEN.

VESPER AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + PRAYER: Heaven At Any Cost Is Free!




I Am Blessed To Be A Christian
For
In Jesus Christ
I Am Free Indeed
Because
I Do Not Have A Fickle Lord
Whose Character Is That Of 
The Wily Wicked Damned-For-All Eternity Fraud!

My Lord, The Christ
In Sacrificial Love
Chose To Save Me
Before I Was Born
AND
My Salvation Is Not Just Salvation
For An Event Of One Day
BUT
Is Eternal Salvation
IF I Should Choose To Take It
To Get Me To The Heavenly Land
Where There Is Neither Night Nor Cares There!

Prior Present Knowledge Of My Lord Christ
Is A Great Necessity
IF I Should Make An Informed Decision
That I Shall His Servant Be!

Present Future Knowledge Of My Lord Christ
Is A Great Necessity
IF Against The Hell-Bound Rangers
I Shall Stand Firm In The Faith Of Christ Jesus
AND
Sure Damnation Flee!

I, Of My Free Will
Have Accepted
The Lord Christ!


I Am Now Walking On The Narrow Way ...

My Lord Christ Has Made Provision
For Me To Be Cheered Along Life's Way
AND
There Is A Company Of Witnesses In His Living Word
From Which I May Freely Draw Insight
AND
Gain Understanding
On How To Avoid The Satanic Collision!

By These True-Hearted Witnesses I Am Encouraged ...

  • To Take All Things To My Lord In Prayer
  • To Never Trust My Carnal Eyesight
  • To Never Make Decisions Based On My Emotions
  • To Never In The Things Of This Earth To Find Delight
  • To Never Follow The Multitude To Do Evil
  • To Consider The Lillies How They Grow
  • To Repent With Alacrity Whe Convicted Of Sin
  • To Wrestle In Prayer With The Lord
  • To Pray For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
  • To Walk Holy As My Lord Christ So That God's Blessing On Me May Be Bestowed
  • To Bless Others In Need In Jesus' Name
  • To God's Children Daily Feed
  • To Bless God With The First Fruits Of My Increase
  • To Look Up Because The Lord Christ Is Coming Down
  • To Not Bow Before Idols Because Upon That The Holy God Frowns
  • To Test The Spirits Because Deceivers Abound
  • To Stand Up For Jesus Even Though Sense And Companions Don't Go Along
  • To Hope In Almighty God For He Is Strong
  • To Trust The Living God Whom I Can't See But Whom At All Times Sees Me As I Walk In The Throng
  • To Love The Lover Of My Soul
  • To Make The Eternal God's Heaven My Soul's Sole Goal
  • To Live The Life Of A Sojourner Here
  • To Stay In The Safe Sheep Fold Where There Is No Despair
  • To Tread Softly In The Sanctuary Of God
  • To Deny The Liar Profound
  • To Deny The Dainties Of The Fraud Who Wills In My Life To Be God
  • To Sigh And Cry Against The Abominations In The Land
  • To Reason With The Holy Lord God
  • To Lay My Burdens On The Living Lord
  • To Study The Scriptures For In Them Is Life
  • To Search In The Word For Hidden Treasure To Glean Nuggets Without Price From The Lord
  • To Hide The Word Of Truth And Life In My Heart So That I Won't Sin Again The Holy God
  • To Not Hold Converse With Satan That Known Despiser, Hater Of Christ The Lord
AND

To Ever Always On A 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" In Confidence To Stand
Remembering
That Behind Almighty God's Hedge Of Protection
I Am Safe And Free
For
The God Of Creation
The Savior
My Redeemer
My Hope
My Help
My Beginning
My End
My Forever Friend
Paid His Innocent Blood
My Sinful Soul To Cleanse
To Make Me Right With The Father
To Get Me The Victory Over Sin
To Journey Through Trial To His Home
To Arrive Safe At His Home
To Live The Immortal, Incorruptible Life
Life ... Without End!
I Am Blessed!

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord Of Life,

My Only God

I Extend My Hand
To Accept Your Stretched Forth Hand
Beckoning To Me
A Wretch
A Fallen Man!


I Accept Your Offer Of Salvation

I Accept Your Mercy

Your Free-To-All Grace
And
I Accept Willingly
My Daily Share Of
The Holy Christ's Living Faith!


I Confess My Known Sin!

I Repent Of My Past Known-Wicked Deeds!

I Deny The Liar
And
I Reject His Offer Of Sin As Living-Life Speed!


Father,

I Acknowledge Your Dominion

Your Sovereign Will
Your Will For My Life!
Please ... Help Me In You To Be Still!


Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me!

Help Me To Let The Holy Angels

Influence Me For Good
And
Help Me, My Father
To Prepare For Rain
So That The Decimating Flood
May Surely Be Withstood!


I Am But A Child, Lord!

Correct Me!

I Am But A Servant, Lord!
Direct Me!

Oh, Lord

Help To Live Right In Your Sight

So That
In The Hour Of My Trial
The Lord Christ
Shall Plead His Innocent Blood For Me
And
Against My Guilty Stain! 
Help Me Never The Holy Name To Profane!


Father, 

Time Is Getting Short

And
Satan Is Raging! 
The Young Limes Are Falling Off The Tree
And
Wickedness Is Her Tambourine Shaking!


Lord, 

In The Name Of Jesus

I Beseech You
Protect Your People Against
The Wicked One
Who Wills To Be Lord Of The Earth! 
Protect Your People Through The Strife
That Will Have Us Walking
On The Sharpened Edge
Of
The Butcher's Knife - You Promised!

Protect Our Minds
And
Seal Us - You Promised
And
Bless Us To Stand Victorious Though We Die
For We Know
And
Believe The Living Word
That Heaven At The Last 
Is Not 
Cannot 
Won't Be A Lie!
At Any Personal Cost To Us
Heaven Is Still Free - No Fee!


Grant Unto Us, Gracious Lord 

Strength For Our Journey To Sure Salvation

Courage To Walk The Way Of Faith
And
Bless Us With The Beauty Of Holiness
So That We Do Not Bring Disgrace
To Our God Eternal
Who Gives Us Of His Blessed Love
And
Dear Grace!


Help Us To Trust You

Where We Can't Trace You

Is Our Heart's Great Plea!
We Love You, Lord
And
We Ask These Few Blessings
Again And Always
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
Come Soon! 
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Ignorance Kills!







Satan
Utilizes
Ignorance Of
Christ's
Intercession To
Deliberately
Eviscerate ... Man's Will!

The Difference
Between Beasts And Man
IS
Man Has Free Will
Free Choice
AND
Man Knows That ... By Appointment
He Is Going To Die!

Man
Because Of Sinful Nature
Has A Set-By-God Appointment
When He Is To Die
AND
Man Is Never To Take The Initiative
AND
Decide For Himself
To Render God's Appointing
A Plain
An Outright ... Lie!

Satan Has A Counterfeit
For Everything That The Eternal God Does
AND
He Has No Compunction About
Painting Base Metal With Pure Gold
AND
Selling It At The Feel Good Club!

The Living Word Is Littered
With Witnesses
To Show How Satanic Forces Operate
AND
We All Would Do Well
Of This To Take Note
So That We Can Get Out From Under
Get Away From
Avoid
Their Death-Dealing Spell!
Don't Choose To Inhabit Their Prepared For Them Hell!

Theirs Is A Goat Rope!

A Mother Went To Jesus
Her  Child
A Daughter For To Save!
A Father Went To Jesus
His Child
- Afflicted By Demons From Young -
A Son For To Save
Because the Demons Were Trying To Kill Them
To Put Them In The Cold Grave!

These Parents Knew
Believed
That Only Jesus Could Them Save
AND
Made The Pilgrimage To The Savior Of Man
Hopeful Of The Blessing
That Would Dying Life Renew!

The Gadarene Demonic
Went From Crying Out
From Soul Pain
AND
Physical Pain
From Cutting Himself
From Breaking His Own Chains
To Espying Jesus ... In The Distance
AND
Running To Him
AND
Worshiping
To Freedom In Christ
BUT
Those That Spiritually Oppressed Him
A Legion Of Demons
- Believers In The Living God Take Note -
Needing Another Host Body
- By Their Request -
Were Bidden Into
2,000 Unclean Pigs To Take Up Abode
AND
The Outcome
Was Mass Suicide
When The Pigs Ran
AND
Went Over The Cliff
AND
Into The Sea
Perished
Choked!

The Modern Cause Of Suicide
Is In The Holy Word Written!
The Modern Solution For Suicide Prevention
Is In The Holy Book Given
AND
All Who Would Be Saved
Must
Cry Out ... To Jesus
Run ... To Jesus
Bow Down And ... Worship Jesus
AND
When Asked By Christ Jesus
- Our Only Savior -
To State Their Name
The Demons Will Have No Choice
But To Answer
Truthfully
The Giver Of Life
The Provider Of Eternal Life
No Strife!

Name SPEAKS Of Character!

Understand This Clearly ...

There Is No God But The Creator God Of Heaven!
There Is No Savior But Jesus Christ, Almighty God's Son!
There is No Comfort But The Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Man!
There Is Guardian But The Holy Angels Who Influence Us In Truth To Stand!
There Is No Better Cry Than Prayer
The Prayer Of Faith
Hope And Trust
So
Hold THE Living God
In Godly Fear
AND
By The Word Of Truth
From Him Who Is The Truth
You Will Satan Cut Loose!
This Is Gospel Truth!

Sowers Reap A Harvest!

Everybody Has Unrealistic Expectations
For Marriage
Family, Work And Friends
But I Can Safely Say
- Without Fear Of Contradiction -
That My Expectations Concerning Christ Jesus
Will Never Comport 
With His Myriad Blessings Vouchsafe To Me
And Neither Will His Blessings
- Ever -
My Hopeful Soul Offend!

Wha' Loss!
Hear De Big Christ'an Talk!
Their Ain't Nobody Like She And She Jesus!

You Know
Every Since She Got Into That "Relationship"
You Would Think She Is Going To Get A Gold Crown!

Of THAT You Can Be Sure
Because
MY Relationship With MY Jesus
Is Personal
And He Promised Me A New Name
A Personal Mansion In Glory
A Gold Harp
A Victor's Palm
And, Yes
A Real-Real Gold Crown!

How Special ...!

... And She Believes Him!

Hold It, Sarah!
You And Cora Had Better Stop Teasing Maylene!
She Is Very Serious About Her Lord
AND
You Two Had Better Wake Up!

There's A Time And Place For Jesting
And This Is Not It!

Awww, Auntie Jen!
We Didn't Mean Anything By It! 

We Were Just Funning
Cause She's Such An Easy Target!

Now, Really!
That Is Just Being Unkind!

Children!
Gather Around!

Yes, Ma'am!

See What You Did?!
You're Always Getting Us In Trouble!

Settle Down!
Nobody Is In Trouble ... Yet
BUT
I Want To Tell You A Story
AND
Then You Will Tell Me The Moral:

There Was Once A Boy Named Samuel
Who Loved The Lord!
He Was Young But Genuine In His Love
And He Walked With God In Accord!

Samuel Lived At God's Sanctuary
In A Town Called Shiloh
With The High Priest Called Eli
And His Two Very Wicked
Worthless Sons
Aka Sons Of Belial
Sons Of The Devil
Who Had Absolutely No Respect
For The Ways Of Truth And Goodness
Nor The Holy Things Of The Eternal God!

Almighty God Was Not Pleased
AND
One Night
- This Was At a Time When A Word From God
To The Nation Was A Thing Rare - 
The Lord Did Something Wonderful
AND
Spoke To Samuel
In His Very Ear!

The Voice Was So Near
That Samuel Thought It Was Old Eli Calling Him!

I Wish Almighty God Would Talk To Me Like That!

He Can
AND
He Does
BUT
You Must Have A Heart
For The Things Of God
And Be Kind
And Obedient
And Truthful
And Faithful
AND
Of A Willing Spirit!

Do You Remember When We Talked About
Being
AND
Becoming
Like The Lord Jesus?!

Yes, Ma'am!

Was Jesus Ever Unkind
Or Malicious
Speaking Spiteful Words
To The People
Even Those Who Were Not Kind To Him
Or Who Were Not Even His Friends?!

Oh, No!
Never!

Jesus Had A Meek ...!

... Kind ...!

... Gentle And Loving Spirit!

Well, Samuel Was Just Like That
BUT
High Priest Eli's Sons
- Hophni And Phineas -
Treated The Things Of God
The People Of God
The Gifts Designated For God
As Unholy Things
As Things Common
As Things To Be Abused
As Things Dirty!

Oh, Dear!
But We Were Just Playing!

We Weren't Even Serious!

Children,
Those Very Words May Be Applied
To How Eli Raised Up His Sons!

Eli, The High Priest Of God
Wasn't Serious About His Leadership!
Eli Wasn't Firm In Disciplining His Sons
AND
His Children
To The Things Of The Earth
AND
From Him
From The Holy God
Ran Away!

They Wanted That Thing Called Fun!

Understand This:

People Don't Become Mean-Spirited
And Unkind
And Profligate
And Wicked
Overnight!

People Learn What They Live
AND
Practicing A Bad Habit
AND
It Not Being Corrected
Chastised
Or Set Aside
Permits It To Become
A Practical Way To Live Life!

It Is Then That What You Should Rule, Rules You!

What You Plant

Is
What You Harvest! 
What You Harvest
You
Shall Eat
And
May Almighty God Help You
If Your Eating
Is Not Sweet
Or
Something That You Consider
Fit
For You To Eat
T
What You Call A Treat!



Ma'am?
What Happened To Hophni And Phineas?!

I Want To Know What Happened To Samuel!

What Happened To Hophni And Phineas
Was Sad
BUT
Just
AND
It Was A Hard Lesson Learned For Their Father
Who Died The Very Same Day
That They Did!
They Died In Battle!

Hophni And Phineas's Untoward Behavior
Prevented
Many A Faithful Soul From Worshipping
Before The Living God
In The Place Appointed!

As For Samuel
The Ever-Present
All-Knowing
All-Seeing God 
Revealed To Him That He Was Bringing
An End To Eli And His Family
Because Eli Had Elevated His Sons Above
The Holy God!

As For Samuel 
He Became A Prophet Called Of God!
He Was Also A Priest!
AND
He Was Also A Judge!

Samuel Was Faithful
Honest
AND
Upright In The Holy God's Sight
AND
He Was That Way Until He Died At A Ripe Old Age!

Eli's Family Indeed Ended!
His Daughter-In-Law Died 
Just After She Gave Birth To A Son!
Before She Died
She Called Him Ichabod
Because
The Glory Had Departed!

Hophni And Phinea's Behavior
Had Resulted In The Ark Of God Being Stolen
By The Philistines!

Okay, Children!
What Can We Learn From This Story:

Evil Habits Grow!
Good Habits Grow!
All Habits Are Present Before The Lord
Just As Before Mortal Men They Show!

God Does Not Like Ugly!

Being Unrepentant Of Evil
Always Gets One Punished!

Doing Good Always Gets Rewarded!

The Living God Does Not Play Favorites!

The Things Of God Are Sacred!

Faith Matters!

Okay. Very Good!
Now ... Is There SOMETHING You Two NEED To Say
To A Certain Somebody?!

Yes, Ma'am!
Maylene, We're Sorry! 
What We Said And Did Was Neither Nice Nor Kind! 
Please Forgive Us!

We Promise That We Won't Treat You Like That Again ...!

... Tell Us Again About Your Relationship With Jesus!

I Want A Personal Mansion!

Heyyyy!
Do You Think Jesus Will Put Your Mansion Next To Mine?!

This IS So Cool!

Come On!
Tell Us More Stories Of Your ...!

... You Mean Our ...!

... Jesus!

Just Remember, Children ...


A Ship Without Moorings

Without An Anchor
In The Sea Of Change
In The Depths Of Decay
Will Assuredly
Be Lost!

FORGIVEN SIN: The Cinema Of Remembrance!?!






I Went To The Cinema Of Remembrance!
"It"
Was Slated To Be Block-Buster Show
BUT
What I Saw Did Not Make Me Happy
For
It Was Something That I Had Already Seen
AND
It Contained Theatrics That
I Had Seriously Outgrown!

I Was Shown A Video
A Reel Of What I Had Done
Day Before Yesterday Yesterday
AND
It Was Filled With High-Lights Of
A Low Life
Of Things I Had Already Given Over To Jesus Christ
AND
For Which He For My Forgiveness
His Own Precious Blood Had Painfully Paid!

I Was Not Amused
When I Finally Caught On
That Is Was Satan Running The Cinema
AND
Wanting Me To Doubt 
Almighty God's Blessing Of Forgiveness
AND
Go Back To Useless Stressful Wayward Living!

I Said A Prayer Of Thankfulness
To My Known True God
AND
I Got Up With Determination
AND
I Called That Satan What He Was
- A Plain Fraud -
Handing Him A 

"Thus Saith The Lord ...!"

AND

Humbly ... Needfully
Called On The Shepherd Of Rest
To Continue Leading Me On
To Green Pastures
Where There Is Good Living!
There Is Really Faith-First Success
By Rendered Obedience Giving!

Satan Is The Liar!
Jesus Christ IS The Truth
AND
Any Forgiveness
Received From The Truth
Is True
AND
Good
For Forever Use!


PLEASE
Do Not Let Satan Steal Your Joy
By Encouraging You To Sojourn
In
The Cinema
Of
Forgiven-Sin Remembrance!

Instead
Let Christ Jesus
By The Holy Spirit
Lead You Forward
To The Land Of Reward
By Your Walking Prayerfully
Hopefully
Helpfully
Trustingly
In The Known Merits Of Emmanuel
Shiloh 
Our Savior
Our Righteousness
The King Of Salem
The Prince Of Peace
The Holy Eternal God!

Remembrance Has Its Place
BUT
It Is Not To Doubt
Almighty God's Forgiveness
By Remembering Forgotten Sin
Purged
From The Chronicles Of God!

The Living God's Grace 
Is Greater Than Your Sin!
It Is Forgiven
AND
Forgotten
Tossed Into God's Forgetfulness Sea
So
Let It Go
AND
Be Glad In The God Who Owns Eternity!


You Can't Beat God's Giving
Nor
His Forgiving!
