Of Black Bulls And Red Hats ...!

Black Bull
Saw Red Hat
AND
Started Behaving Like A Dry Sheet
Like A Pop Kite
Like A Flair Skirt
In A High Wind!

He Was All Over The Place!
He Was Running A Race!
He Was Behaving The Disgrace!
He Was All Up In Red Hat Face!
His Behavior Was Not Chaste!

Red Hat
Stood His Ground
AND
To Black Bull
He Did Not Cower!
He Did Not Bow Down!

Red Hat Arched His Spine
JUSTSO!
AND
Of Rights And Reasons
He Gave Black Bull What For
You Know?!

People! People!
Tell Me What You See!
Did I Call Black Bull A Name!
Did I Up In His Face
Get On Like Brer Nancy?!

I Mind My Own Business!
I Do Not Clown Around!
I Walk With My Spine Straight!
I Neither Give To Another
The Smile Nor The Frown!

It Appears
That I Am To Some A Trigger!
Some To Fear!
Some To Folly!
Some To Sarcasm!
Some To Be Rudely Jolly!

Either Which Way
You, Personally
Chose To Go
Please Be Made Aware
Free Or Paid
I Am Always On Show!

I Do Not Care For Your Theatrics!
I Do Not Care For Your Trite Displays!
I Am Not Amused By Histrionics!
I Am Red Hat
So ...
Deal. Darling. With. That!
I'm The Skinny!
You're The Fat!

Brethren,

The Red Hats Of The World
Are There For All To See!
The Red Hats Of The World
Are Obvious ... Obviously!

The Red Hats State Their Position
Without Every Saying A Word!
The Red Hats Posture
Prance
Position
AND
Preen
AND
You Either Abide In Christ
OR
Set Self In Stride And Join With Others Destruction To Connive
OR
Join Up And Jump With Them
AND
Be Conformed
Barely Alive!

Cussing Will Not Help!
Praying To The Living God Will!

Crying To The Neighbor Won't Help!
Pleading With The Living God Will!

Carrying On Like A Red Hat Won't Help
BUT
Carrying Your Burden
To The One
Who Shed Innocent Red Blood
To Make 
Your Scarlet Sin ... White ... As Snow
Your Red-Like-Crimson Sin ... As Wool
Your Black-With-Sin Dead Heart ... Alive ... In Christ
Your Wandering Feet Wayward Walking ... Shod To Spread The Gospel Of Peace
The Red Rag In Your Mouth Raging ... Speak Peace
Your Mind In Chaos ... Calm ... And At Peace
Your Wrecked And Wretched Present ... Enlivened ... And Joyful ... In Jesus
With And In Whom
Is Our Only
AND
Sweet
Relief And Release 
Will!

The Black Bulls Of This World
Stomp 
Strut
Are Bullish
Bullying
Brash
Never Benign!
They Offend
AND
Are Offended
By Everybody
Everything
Everywhere
Behind Closed Doors
In The Public Square
Behaving Like One With A Brass
Sometimes Glass
Pair
AND
All Who Choose
To Act As
To Be Impacted By
The Black Bulls
Will Never Sleep Peacefully
AND
As Is Oft The Situation
Will Share, Well
Their Share!
Have A Care!

Bottom Line ...

There Is Always A High Wind For A Red Hat
Aka
Exposure!
Banishment!
Obscurity!

There Is Always A Matador For A Black Bull
Aka
Dehorned
Steaked
Trophyized Pair!

For Life
Lived Triumphantly
Abundantly
Take Your Pick
BUT ...

You'd Better Recognize That

Character Is Color Is Character

So ... 

Have Faith In God
AND
Get Jesus Christ's Character
That Is
The  Meek And Gentle Spirit
Against Which There Is No Law
AND
In The Glorious Day
Soon Dawning
You Shall Wear White
- Christ's Righteousness -
AND
All The Universe Of God
Shall Your Accomplishment
Grandly
Gloriously
Gladly, Gladly
Applaud!

Pride

Posturing

Posing

And

Pretending

Offending

And

Taking Offense

Are

Attributes

Known Delights

Specialities

Of

Wicked Satan

The Known Wily Fraud! 

**--**--**--**

Just So You'd Know:

Some Black Bulls Are Red Hats

And

Some Red Hats Are Black Bulls!

Faith And Belief + PRAYER: Father, I Can Hear You!

We All Have Choices!

Thank God For Jesus!

I Can't Speak For Anybody Else
- Every Human Has That Personal Choice To Make -
BUT
I Choose Jesus
AND
I Will Listen To The Voice Of My God!
I Will Not Look At What Is Wrong In My Life
Even Though It May Seem
That I Carry The Weight Of The World!
In Jesus Christ's Name
I Will Stay With The Living Truth
In Almighty God's Holy Word!

AMEN!!!

I Could Be Upset By This And That!
I Could Feel Put Upon This That And The Other!
I Could Look At What I See With My Lying Eyes
AND
I Could Be By Sight 
Turned Away From The True God
AND
Turned Toward What Is On The Ground
BUT
I. By. Living. Faith. Choose.
To Accept That The Word Of The Eternal God
IS
Ever True
AND
I Shall Take His Promises
Made Unto Me
With A Covenant Written In Innocent Blood
AND
Dare To Go Against Man's Mind
Dare To Go Against Men's Missions
Against Belief And Perception Collisions
AND
I Shall Trust
- Like A Little Child -
I Shall Trust The Glorious One
- We All Need To Trust Him -
Who Sacrificially Loves Me
AND
I Shall Hear
- Really Hear -
AND
My Heart Shall Plainly See Truth
For I Choose
- I Willfully Choose -
To Accept Almighty God's Grace
To Honor The Living God By My Faith
AND
To Be Blessed
In With By And Through
The Holy Love
That Condescended To My Level
That Raises Me Up To His Level
That Loves Me!

Praise God!!!

PRAYER:

Lord,

I Am Listening!

With Your Eyes Let Me See

The Love That Left Glory

And

Died For Me On Mount Calvary!
Thank You For The Blessing!

Father,
I Do Not Desire Gold

Silver

Diamonds And Perishable Pearls!

I Need Your Pearls Of Wisdom

Your Gems That Give Understanding

Your Robe That Marks One With Righteousness

And

I Shall Be Satisfied

With This Life

Though I Face Strife!
Make Me Like You, Lord!

By Your Blessed Grace, Father

I Will Look Up

And

I Shall Live Faithfully Here And Now

To Then Live Eternally
In The Glorious Land

In The Mansion That You Have Prepared

For This Child Of The Dust

Made Alive With The Breath Of The Divine!
Come Soon, Lord!

Thank You, Lord

For Coming

For Dying

For Rising

For Interceding

For Your Soon Return

And

For Loving Me And My Kind!
We Need You, Lord!

Pour Out Of Your Spirit On My Flesh

And

Make Me Afresh
A Willing Spirit!
We Need New Life, Lord!

Please Bless Me With Victory

Over Sin

In The Battlefield Of The Mind

For

You Are God Almighty

And

Able!
No Ones Loves Us Like You, Lord!

Please Remember The Brethren
And
Grant Them Your Peace And Rest
And
Provide For Each According To Their Need!
You Are Our God And Holy!

I Worship You, Lord

And

I Pray God

That It Will Always Be
In Word, Thought And Deed

And

In Spirit And In Truth!

In Jesus Christ's

I Present My Heart's Petition!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Contract Negotiations!?!

Presumptuous Blasphemy
Was

The Method
Mode
Means
Employed By Satan
To Obtain For Himself
Holy Worship
BUT
As All Have Seen
Can See
His Effort 

Is 

A Battle Forfeit!

Jesus Christ
In His Interaction With The Fraud
Employed Truth

The Living Word
"Thus Saith The Lord!"AND
All We Who Hope
To Acquire Access To
AND
Be Blessed In The Great Reward
Must
The Jesus-Christ-Method Energetically Employ!

'Tis True!

Satan Wanted To Give To Christ The Creator
What The Creator Christ Had Made
AND
Had Hoped To Provoke A Response
In His Favor
By Questioning Christ's Lineage
AND
Today, Today
This Very Way
Is Being Employed
To Cause Man From Saving Truth To Stray!

Jesus Christ To His Followers
His Creation
His Brethren Beloved
Said:

I Go

To Prepare A Place For You! 

I Am Coming Again

To Receive You

Unto Myself

That Where I Am

There, Also

You Shall Be!

The Promise Given Is Plain
- Easily Seen By The Blind
Understood By Those Lacking Wisdom
Heard By The Deaf
Spoken By The Dumb
Longed For By The Lost
Sought After By The Have Not

AND
Fought On In Faith By The Faithful
Who To The Dying World
Are Considered Disgraceful -
AND
Secured By The Door
Who Is The Door
AND
The Way
The Truth
The Light
The Life
The Hope
Our Help
Our Friend
Our Salvation
Our Blessing
To Our Life
AND
To This World's End
AND
Unto Eternity's Beginning

Which Beginning Has No Ending!

Brethren,

We Have Inside Information!

We Know How The Great Controversy Story Ends
So
Let Us Not Sell Out For One Rain Drop
When We Have In The Person Of Christ Jesus
The Maker Of Water
High
Wide And Deep!

Do Not Permit Satan
To Cloud Your Mind With Crap!
Snap His Mind Back With Truth:

We Faithful Are Going Home To Heaven

And

Satan Can't

Because

There Is The Fearful Waiting

For

The Fiery Indignation

Of

The Lake Of Fire Burning With Brimstone

Which Is

The Circus Monkey On His Back!

In Christ Jesus
We ... Faithful
Shall Never Suffer Lack!

For Heaven ... Let's Conscientiously Pack!

If We Die Under Savage Attack
Jesus Christ, Himself, Promised
To Life
He Will Bring Us Back
So
Of Protecting Our Own Soul's Salvation
By Working Faith
Let Us Not Ever Be Lackadaisical

Nor Slack!

Do Not Accept Satan's Flack!

Take The Lord God At His Word!

Those Who Oppose The Living God
Practice Pride
AND
The Call Of Almighty God's Holy Spirit
They Actively Defy!
They Are Wilful
AND
Wayward
AND
No Respecters Of Holy God's Truth
AND
They Take Much Pleasure In Gainsaying
AND
Acting Mindfully Abstruse!

Vanity
Is 
A Vexation Of Spirit
AND
Investigation Into Too Many Books Likewise
AND
Walking Wisely In One's Own Eyes
Sets One Up To Be Used
As A Devilish Device!

Be Careful, Ye Wayward!
Be Circumspect, Ye Vain!
Be Mindful, Ye Curious
When Into The Almighty God's Business 
You Take The Budget Airplane
For
The Eternal God Is Not A Respecter Of Persons
AND
What Is Given Into Our Keeping
Is Available For Us To Know
BUT
That Which The Glorious God Has Kept In His Own Counsel
- Don't Be Bold -
You Will The Answer Never Know!

Be A Child ... You Need The Righteous God's Teaching!
Be A Servant ... You Need Blessing God's Leading!
Be A Pilgrim Walking Through This Fleeting Life!
Be A Stranger To Sinful Ways
AND
Of The Holy Hand Do Not Let Go
For
Those Who Will See The Lord Of Life In Peace
Will Never Go With The Wicked World's Flow!

Study ... To Show Thy Self Approved!
Learn ... The Ways Of The Lord!
Live ... With A Gentle Touch On The World
For
This World Is Not Our Home
AND
We Must Treat It As Such
AND
Not Raise It Up To Be Much!

Do Not Envy The Evil!
Do Not Pamper Pride!
Do Not Greet The Greedy
AND
Do Not With The Leprosy Of Sin Abide!

Take The Lord At His Word!
Take The Word For Bread And Eat!
Take The Water Of Life And Drink
AND
Do Not Practice Deceit!

Rescue The Perishing!
For Them
The Holy Spirit Is The Refreshing!
Take Time To Care For The Lost And Weary Soul
AND
Show Them
That Heaven With Christ Is To Be The Soul's Sole Goal!

LIVING KINGDOM: Converted Christians!?!

Every Converted Christian
HOLDS
Three Positions
In The Kingdom Of God
AND
As Child Of God
Servant Of God
Citizen Of The Household Of God
We Should Be With Christ Of Like Mind!

Wait A Minute!
I'm Confused!
First ... Converted Christian?!
Isn't That An Oxymoron!?!

Actually ... No!
There Is A Biblical Precedent For That!

I'm All Ears!

Do Your Thing, Spray Can ... uh, ahhmm, Bert!

Jesus And Peter Had A Conversation

AND
Jesus Made A Telling Remark
That Should Cause Shock
Give Pause
AND
Encourage All Christians Called To Think

- Seriously Think -

About Our Hoped For Ascendancy
Unto The Great Reward!

WHAT ... Are You Talking About?!

Do You Remember ...

Feed My Sheep
Feed My Lambs
Feed My Sheep?!

Who Could Forget That?!
I Consider That Jesus Christ's Response
To Peter's Three Denials!

You Would Be Right
AND
Peter Understood That!

How Long Did Peter And The Brethren
Walk With
Live With
Eat With
Sleep Together With
Work With The Lord?!

A Grand Total Of
Three And One Half Years

OR
42 Months 

OR

1260 Days!

Would You Call Garrulous Peter A Christian?!

Yes, Indeed I Would!
Peter Loved His Master!

Would You Call Peter
A Faithful Working Christian?!

Without A Doubt!

Would You Call Peter ...?!

... What You're Going To Say
Say Fast!
I've Got Far To Go!

Very Well!

Why Did Jesus Say To Peter:

... And When You're Converted
Strengthen Aka Help
The Brethren ...!

... When You're Converted!?!

Gracious ... !

... Merciful Powers ... !

... Lord, Help Us!

Indeed!

Peter, James And John
Went Every Where With

AND YETPeter Was Unconverted
Even Though
He Had Seen The Transfiguration Of His Master
AND
Had Personally Heard The Voice Of Father God!

He'd Seen 

The Blind Given Sight
The Deaf Receive Hearing
Multiple Dead Raised To Life
Lepers Made Whole
Lame Made To Walk
Demoniacs Unchained
Captive Sinners Set Free
AND
He, Himself
Was Unconverted!

He Was Still Following Self!
He Was Not Yet In Christ
Living Abundantly!

If He Was Close To Christ
AND

Remained Unconverted
That Says Volumes About Us!

Namely?!

• A Change Will Come ... If We Remain Faithful
• Conversion Is A Progressive Work
• The Converted Soul Is To Help Others
• We Are Not To Walk In Pride

For
Denial Of The Lord
Is Waiting In The Shadows!
It's A Very Real Thing
AND
Humility Of Spirit
Is A Blessed
Never A Shameful
Thing!

So Much For Crying Lord, Lord!

No Wonder The Lord Said
That Crying His Name
Will Not Get One Into The Kingdom Of Heaven!

Look At These Contrasting Statements
Made Concerning Two Close Companions Of The Lord:

Being Unmoved By The Touch Of His Master
Judas Went Out ... And It Was Night!

Being Forgiven By The Look Of Compassion From His Master

Peter Went Out ... And Wept Bitterly!

I Get It! I Get It!
Judas Went Out Led By Self ...!

... And Betrayed The Lord ...!

... And Died In Darkness ... Lost!

But Peter ...

Peter Denied His Lord
Heard The Cock Crowing
AND
Remembered Jesus' Warning
AND
Looked Around At His Lord
AND
Saw His Lord Looking At Him ...!

... And The Lord's Look Of Compassion
Understanding
Forgiveness
Broke Peter's Sinful Self ...!

... And Peter Went Out
And Cried Bitter Tears Of Confession And Repentance ...!

... And He Was ...!

CONVERTED!!!

Hallelujah!
Peter Became A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord!
Peter's Tears Broke The Back Of The Fraud!
Peter Was No More Brash
BUT

Became Mindful
Gentle Meek
He'd Done His Repentance In Sackcloth And Ashes
AND
He Knew Of A Surety
That The Journey To Eternal Life
Is A Steady Striving Wearying Walk
Not A Brisk Energetic 100 Yard Dash!

You Should Tell That
To The Prosperity Preachers
Who Are In Race For The Believing Man's
Gifts Of Ready Cash!

May The Living God Forgive Them
Even Though They Know What They Are Doing!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Church Has Leprosy!?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Choose ... You!

One Bright Day
In The Sight Of All
Miriam, Dear, Dear, Miriam
Broke Out In ... Gasp!
SPOTS!

S peaking Jealously And
P ridefully And In Direct
O position To Obvious
T ruth
S preads The Spores Of Sin!


Miriam Is A Godly Woman!
Woman Is ... Significantly 
A Church!
Miriam Is A Good Church
BUT
Good Church Got The Taint
Got Leprosy
AND
Good Woman Got Knocked Off Her Perch!

Leperous Woman Church
Is 
Shut Out
Shut Out Of The Congregation
The Camp Of God
Until Her Contagious Condition
Can Be Cured!

The Realm

Outside Of The Household Of Faith

Is Cold!

It Is The Place Of The Dying!

The Place Where Those

In Opposition To God's Truth

Are Bold!

The Leprosy
The Contagion
Affects All That It Touches
AND
Significantly
The Congregation Of God
The Church Of God
Cannot Grow
Grow In Grace
While Leprosy ... The Contagion Of Sin
Known Sin
Willful Sin
Is Welcomed
Practiced
Promulgated
By All Adherents Within!

Outside The Camp Of God
BUT YET
In The All-Knowing 
All-Seeing
Ever-Present God's Holy Sight
The Church
The Woman ... Falling ... Fallen
Felled By Sin
Can Be Set Apart
Counselled
Healed Back Into Communion
AFTER
In Willingness
Showing Brokenness
AND
Being Submissive To The High And Holy Power
She Admits Her Sin
Afflicts Her Soul
AND
Repents Of The Wrong-Doing
Casting Herself
On The Mercy Of The Eternal Faithful One God
Accepting The Just Chastisement
AND
Wills To Be As One Faithful Herself
Bowing Down And Worshiping
Praying Praising
Believing Loving Trusting
Working Watching And Waiting
Hopeful ... Of The Promised Restoration
AND
Looking For The Priest
The High Priest Of Our Profession
To Come And Pronounce Her Clean
AND
Restore Her To The Dominion!
What Peace!
What Glorious Peace
Compliments Of The Savior
The Living Holy God!

Know Ye Not That ...

Presumptuous Sin Is A Parasite
Which, Encouraged
Will Lead To Sure Death
Death 
As Ordained Once To All Man
AND
Death Designated Second
To Be Avoided At All Costs
By Choosing To Follow
The Ways
The Laws Of The Holy God
AND
Never The Lawlessness
The Wiles Of 
The Known Fraud!

Please Do Not Let Self
Sell You Polished Brass For Bright Gold!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
Wilderness
The Dominion Of Darkness
The Camp Of The Destroyer
The Place Of Serpents
Scorpions
Raptors
Scavengers
Bitter Water
Idolatry
Death
Destruction
Nothing Holy!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
The Camp Of The Lost Cause!

Got Leprosy?!

Are Scabs On The Body Showing?!

Call Christ Jesus

The Great Physician He

The One Holy

The One Only

Who Sacrificially Died

To Save Thee

On Mount Calvary!

Did You Know:

• A Group Of Vultures Is A Committee!
• A Flying Flock Of Vultures Is A Kettle!
• Vultures Feeding On A Carcass Is A Wake!

Do The Math!

**--**--**--**

Satan And The Legion Of Doom

In Committee

Plot Your Demise

And

Encourage You To Sin

Placing You Squarely In A Kettle

Obviously Filled With Hot Water

Marinating Covert Overt Lies!

When You Are Being Severely Punished
- As Is To Be Expected -

For Your Own Sin

And

Probably Dying

And

In A Lost Condition

Eventually Dead

Those Beings That Soon Won't Be

Conduct A "Happy" Wake

Lauding You As Their Prize

For Having Fallen Into The Trap

Of

The Wily Fraud
And

God-Fake

Satan The Snake!

Wise Up, People!

Soul Salvation Is At Stake!

Get On The Gospel Train

AND

Avoid The Fire And Brimstone Lake!

Leave Satan And His Kind

To Their Scheduled Date

With The Burning Lake!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Desire Health!
I Desire Cure!
I Desire Your Blessing
And
To Receive
All That You Have For The Faithful!
All That You Have In Heaven's Store!

Lord,
I Humble Myself Before You
I Bow, Now
So That I Will Not Break Later!
I Choose
- Of My Own Free Will -
To Obey You
And
To Live To You, True!

Forgive Me My Trespasses!
Forgive Me My Sin!
Bless Me With All Blessing
And
Correcting Me
When I Go Straying!

Bless Me To Do Your Will!
Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight!
Grant Unto Me Your Favor, Lord
The Grace That Will Give To Me Daily
Your Holy Light!

Remember Our Brethren
Those In Other Congregations
Other Families
Other Flocks
Those In Other Lands
Those Who Will To Know Christ
Those Who Find Your Love A Delight!

Lead Us, Lord
Into All Truth!
Grant Unto Us
Blessed Peace And Sweet Rest
Even Though In This Life
We Do Struggle
Even Though In A Crucible
We Take Sleep
And
Achieve That Which Is 
- To Carnal Man -
Not Dignified Rest!

You, Lord
Are Our Portion!
You, Lord
Are Our Hope!
You, Lord,
Are Our Sovereign
And
In Jesus Christ's Name
We Shall Our Lives
To You
Devote!

Hear Our Prayers, Lord
And
Have Mercy And Bless
For We Ask All
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.
