HAPPY SABBATH + Soul Food!?! + PRAYER: Help Me, Lord, To Do Better!

Thoughtless Words
Harsh Words
Foolish Words
Careless Utterance

And
Bitter Remonstrance
All Speak To What You Are Your Soul Feeding
Be It By Reading
Seeing
Hearing
Thinking Or Cherishing!

Words Spoken
Tell The Hearers
What It Is That You Are Really Eating!

I Know What You Mean
Because Recently
I Butt Up On Myself
And It Was Gravel In My Mouth!
There Had Not Been Any Good Eating!

Wow!
Tasting Your Own Words!
How Did You Like Them Apples!?!

I Didn't 

And Neither Did The One On The Receiving End!

Did You Forget?!

Forget!?!
Man, I Didn't Take Time To Remember!

I Said: ABC!
Carly Said: 123
And, I
- In High Dungeon -
Handed Her The Rest Of The Alphabet
In Color
In Stereo
In Rage
In Disrespect
In Folly
And, Now
I Stand Before You Chastened
Having Walked Around In ... Shame!

That Must Have Been
One Seriously Negative Feeding Frenzy
You Must Have Been On
To Unload On Her Like That!

It Sure Was!

It Was A Dark Lord Special Delight ...

I Had Feasted On:

Bran Bread Of Bitterness
Butter From The Bilge Water Of Bile
Pickles Of Pettiness
Putrid Patty Of Imagined Penury
Tomatoes Of Toasted-Temperance
Lawless Lettuce
Pity-Me Potatoes
Apple Pie Of Avarice

And Ice Cream Of Indignation

So What Was Your Chaser?!

I Had Me A Long Glass Of Mauby Of Malice And Malignity

Over Cracked Ice

And A Liberal Spash Of Icy Disdain!

Lord A'mighty!

You Must Have Been Born In A Barn!

If You'd Been Born In A Stable
You Would've Known Better
And Done Better ...!

... And She Would Have Remembered That

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
And Recognized That Silence Is Golden!

By Their Fruit ...

Lacy, This Is Serious!
How Could You
A Practicing Christian
Fall Into That Cess Pit!?!

I Didn't Fall In!
I Boldly Walked In!

You'd Better Explain That Statement!

All I'm Saying Is
You Speak What You Eat!

So You're Saying That You Really Did That Deed
With Unadulterated Malice!?!

Of Course!
I Was Just Waiting For An Excuse!

Any Excuse!

Let Me Get This Straight:

You Fed You Soul Crap
So That You Could Deliver Incredible Excrement!?!

Since You Put It Like That, Yes!
And I Feel So Dirty!

You Should!
What You Did Was Deliberately Sinful!

Don't Forget Presumptuous!

Please Add On Cruel And Unkind!

Hateful Is My Description, Oh, Friend Of Mine!

Exceedingly Foolish Is My Take!
You've Been Unwisely Encouraging The Known Fake!
Don't You Know That Much Is At Stake!
Don't Your Realize That

With Your Cherishing That Foul Attitude
You Will Not Your Residence
In New Jerusalem Make!?!

I Know! I Know!

Big Question ...

Where Is The Repentance For That Debacle!?!

Believe Me! It's Here!

I've Been Tasting It!
Hence The Gravel In My Mouth!

I Had To Repent Twice!
Once To My Heavenly Father
And Once To My Dear Friend!

Was It Worth The Cost!?!

That's An Emphatic "No!"

I Sincerely Pray That You Change Your Diet!

Changed And Changing
But

I Am Now Seriously Concerned
About My ...!

... Unfavorable Influence ...!

... Upon Others!

Let This Be A Lesson
To All Of Us Who Here Hear
That Words Have Life
And
When They Are Weaponized
They Inveigle Us In The Great Controversy's Strife!

We Can Worship The Devil!
We Can Worship The Lord!
But
There Is The Difference Which Comes
From The Utterance Of The Singularly False Word!

People See!
People Hear!

And
People Understand Your Intent
And
Your Unwise Words
Can Send Them To The Wrong Camp
The Camp Of The Enemy
The Enemy Of Souls
Who Has For His Life's Work
The Damnation Of Your Already Bought

And

Purchased-From-Death Soul!

What A Hellish Goal!

Keep Away From His Fold!

If We Live And Work And Love
As The Good Master Told
We ... None Of Us
Won't Work For That Gross Nave

Beelzebub The Bold!

Indeed!

On This Truth, I'm Sold!

PRAYER :

Heavenly Father,

God Of Mercy

Grace And Love

Forgive Me My Trespass

For Not Speaking

From A Heart Operating Under The Influence

Of

Jesus Christ's Pure And Holy Love!

I Spoke A Harsh Word

A Word Not Kind

A Word Not Fit 

For The Faithful

And

In So Doing

I Misrepresented You

The God Almighty

Holy, Wise, Divine!

Help Me, Lord

To Do Better

To Live As One Wise And True

And

Please Help Me

To Live For And As My Jesus Did

For

It Is My Heart's Desire

With You

In New Jerusalem To Live!

Hear My Prayer, Lord 

And

Bless Me To Do Your Will

And

Blessing Me So That I May Be A Blessing

To The Family Of The Living God!

I Ask These Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

I Love You, Lord!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

The Scoffer: Prepare To Meet Jesus Christ The Lord!

Prepare To Meet Thy God!

Which One?!

The Day Of The Lord Comes
As The Thief In The Night
To The Householder Unprepared
Unexpectedly
But
All Who Will Meet Him
With Joy
And
In Peace
Will Have Their Homes
Their Hearts Ready
Fully Equipped
Him
To Meet And Joyously Greet!

To Greet Him In Peace
Is 
Everlasting Sin-Release!

What Release!?!
He's Been Coming Since Adam Was A Lad

And I Was Knee-high To A Grass-Hopper!
Anybody See The Lord Lately?!

The King Is Coming!
Are You Washed And Ready?!
The Judge Is Coming!
Did You Confess And Repent!?!
Is Jesus Christ Your Attorney Of Defense?!

I Don't Need No Attorney!
All Attorneys Are Crooks!

Jesus Christ
Is
Lord And God!
He Is Peace!
He Is Security!
He Is Creator
And
Sustainer-Redeemer Of Mankind
One And All!

I've Old Jimmy Bean For Peace ...!

... I've Got Monsieur LeGlock For Security
And Badboy Ruger Is His Assistant Able!

Men Don't Need Guns!
Men Need The Living God!
Men Need To Recognise Their Need For Christ
And
Leave Off Converse With Satan The Fraud!

There Ain't No Satan!
There Ain't No God!
Your Are Peddling Pixie Dust
With Your Be-All-Things-To-All-Men God!
Now, That Is Fraud!

I Used To Believe
I Used To Love And Trust
And I Asked Him For A Teeny Tiny Paltry Favor
But My Hope Was A Pimple Filled With Putrid Pus!

I Like Your Analogy
And I Ask You Quite Plain:

Did Not Your Bust Pimple
Not Bless You With Gain?!

Huh?! How ...?!

Happens Every Time!

We Don't Get What We Want
And 
We Curse God
When It Is That
He Gives Us What We Need!

You, Me, We
Are All Short-Sighted
And
We Need Need Need
To Trust The Living Eternal Omniscient God
Whose Sight Is Infinite!

You Mean To Tell Me That
All These Years
I've Been In The Wilderness
For Want Of So Simple An Explanation?!

Yes!

Sad And So True!

I Don't Believe
I Can't Believe
That I Actually Turned Against God
Because
I Lacked Wisdom
Was Short Of Understanding
And Couldn't Find True Knowledge!

Shouldn't Have Happened
But It Happens Every Day!

I'd Put That Squarely In The Realm Of
Leaning On Your Own Understanding!

What's The Word, Brethren?!

If Any Of Us Lack Wisdom
Let Us Ask Of God
Who Gives To All Men Liberally
And Upbraided Not!

The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom!

God Shall Bring Every Work Into Judgment

And Every Secret Thing

Be It Good Or Evil!

Friend,
The Living God
Is
Our Refuge And Strength
And
A Very Present Help 
In Time Of Trouble
So, Please
Do Not Trust Your Eyes!
Your Feelings!
Your Lusts!

Man's Heart Is Deceitful!
Man's Way Is Willful!
Man's Thoughts Are Toward Wickedness
But
We Must Trust The Holy God
If
We Will To Walk To The Heavenly Home With The Lord Christ!

We Must Lay Down Self
And
Live Life By Faith And In Faithfulness
And
Never Ever On "Feelings"
If
We Will Be Blessed By The Lord's
Grace, Mercy, Truth, Salvation
And
Ever-Present Faithfulness!

Who Woulda Thunk It?!
A Faithful God!

Jesus Christ The Lord
Our God Almighty
Is
Faithful, Kind, Loving, Giving And True
And
He Is Ready, Willing And Able
To Largely Bless And Eternally Prosper You!

It Surely Seems That Way!
I Know That I'm Going To Be Walking Differently
From This Very Day!

Peace Be Upon You!
Have A Blessed And Grace-Filled Day!

PRESUMPTION: The Great Lie! PRAYER: Lord, Please Grant Us Sin Relief!

... There Is A Level Of Presumption
In The Heart Of Every Man
To Go Where The Living God Sends Not
To Try To Usurp The Divine Plan!

Presumption Is One Of The Great Lies
Calling One To Override Almighty God's Authority
Calling One To Bait The Lord Of Life
To See If Finite Man
- By Dint Of Will -
Will
- With Disobedience -
Gain The Obedient Man's Crown
AndLive With The Unchanging God
In Peace
For Eternity!

What Stands Out For Me
Is

1. The Obvious Lie
2. The Thought Of Overriding The Unchanging God Will
3. The Fallacy Of Finite Man Baiting The Eternal, And
4. The Idea Of The Disobedient Man Getting The Obedient Man's Crown!

Point Taken! 

If Man, A Created And Dying Creature
Can Override The Will Of The Eternal Unchanging God
Then
The Lie Is That There Actually Is
The Eternal
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Omnipathic God!

Indeed!
Man ... Fallen, Dying
Would Be
God ... Standing Lying!

This Is Presumption ...

• Aaron's Sons With Strange Fire On The Altar Of God
• Korah And The Princes Challenging Moses' God-Given Authority
• Achan Covetously Stealing Banned Treasure
• Samson Indulging With Idolatrous Philistine Women
• King Saul's Many Bold And Defiant Disobediences
• King David With Uriah's Wife And Then Committing Murder

What Was The Result Of These Trips Into Presumption?!

In All Cases

Somebody Lost Their Life!

In King David's Case

Two Innocent Persons Lost Their Lives!

So What Saved King David?!

What Made Him Different?!

Of Note

There Is A Pattern Of Behavior

In The Others 

That Was Not Present In King David

And

He, Sorrowing

Immediately Acknowledged His Wrong-Doing

His Sin 

Against The Holy God

And

He Wholeheartedly Repented

- In Abject Humility -

When He Was Shown His Sin!

But What About Samson?!

Samson Repented

And

He Asked The Lord

To Give Him Recompense

Against The Philistines

For His Two Eyes ...!

... And He Died With Them!

Let's Get One Thing Straight!

Presumption

- Presumptuous Sin -

Is 

Never A Good Idea!

True!

But What About

What About It?!

Isn't That Protection No Matter What?!

I Am Sure That You Know Better

Than To Say That!

Why?! 

I Don't Understand!

Rainey, That Is A Promise For 

The Obedient Child Of God!

Satan Tried To Use That Promise Against The Savior

Calling Him To Indulge Himself In Sin ... For Bodily Comfort!

The Savior's Response Was:

Thou Shalt Not Tempt The Lord Thy God!

AMEN!!!!

But What About

Rayshon,

That Is Another Misapplication Of Living Truth!

How Are We To Look At God's Commandments?!

With The View

The Mindfulness

The Heart

Toward Always Obeying Them!

With That In Mind

How Does Willful Thievery, Covetousness

Idolatry, Making A False Oath

Committing Murder

Taking The Lord's Name In Vain

And

Flagrant Disobedience

Comport With Strict Obedience

To The Will Of God?!

They Don't!

But ...?!

No Butting!

You're Not A Goat

So Don't Disobey

Just Because You Can!

You'll Be Playing Satan's Game

And

You Will Not Win!

Satan Lost His Gamble Against Almighty God

So What Makes You Think

That You Will Win Yours?!

I'm Just Human, You Know!

Is That Supposed To Be Your Grand Excuse!?!

Well ...

Let Me Make This Plain ...

Your Being Human Is No Excuse For Disobedience!

Your Being Human Is No Reason To Tempt The Lord!

Your Being Human Makes You Important 

In The Eyes Of Your Creator

And

You, Being Human

Should Seek ... Avidly

To Do All That He Commands!

That's A Tall Order!

We've Got A Tall And Living God

So What's Your Point!?!

The Almighty God

Is

Willing To Work With Us In Our Frailty

So The Least We Can Do

Is

Endeavor To Work With The Almighty God!

Seek After The AlmightyGod And His Righteousness

And

All His Good Things Will Be Added Unto You!

He Makes The Way Plain!

His Truth Is Light!

He Feeds His People

And

He Gives Unto Them 

His Holy Eyesight!

Bottom Line ...

No Christian Called

No Converted Christian

Has Any Excuse

To Indulge In The Sin Of Presumption!

Because?!

Other Than It Being Inherently Wrong

It Is Because 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised 

To Any Man

And

Because The Very Day 

In Which You Commit Your Presumptuous Sin

May Well Be The Very Day

That You Die ... In Sin!

There Is No Repentance In Death!

Brethren,

Please Let A Word To The Wise

Be Sufficient!

Do Not Follow The Multitude To Do Evil!

AMEN!!!!

So Simple ...!

... But So Profound!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,

Please Hear Our Prayer!

Let Not Presumptuous Sin

Have Dominion Over Us Today

Nor Any Other Day!

Please Help Us To Be Faithful

Obedient

Honest And True

For

It Is Our Heart's Desire

To Live Forever

In Eternity With You!

Please Help Us, Lord

To Guard Our Hearts

And

Let Not The Issues Of Life

Cause Us

From The Way Of Truth

To Depart!

Lead Us, Lord

And

Help Us To Walk Wise

But Never In Our Own Eyes

And

Please Help Us

Not To Fall For The Sophistries

Of The One Who

Our Planned Destruction

Will Inordinately Delight!

Grant Us Your Grace!

Bless Us With Your Mercy!

Rest Us In Your Peace

And

Grant Us Sin Relief!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Living In Sin: It's An Illusion ...!

When You Pick Up A Weapon
It Is Never By Mistake!
When You Boldly Walk The Path Of Sin
You Have
- By Choice -
Determined Your Own Fate!

You've Unlocked Damnation's Gate!

Sin ... Is A Weapon
Wielded
By The Wily Foe!
Sin Is A Weapon
That Says You Know
What - Unrestrained - In Life You Want To Do
And
Where, After Death, You Want To Go!

There Is No Mistake
When We "Fall" Into Sin
Because We
By Taking Thought
Have Marked A "Payth"
For Our Own Feet ... Fettered
To Merrily Go A-walking ... Wild!

What's A "Payth"!?

Do You Like My Word?!

Can't Say As Yet!
What Does It Mean?!

A "Payth" Is A Road
That A Sinner Constructs!
The Foundation Is Dug When
Of Sin
By Thought
You Take A Touch!

It Is Followed By Words For Filler
AndDeed Is The Tarmac
When, You, Knowing More Than Your Maker
Walk Thereon With Speed
Deciding
That At The Toll-Bridge Of Life
You
Will Pay Your Own Fees!

Maaan, There's Always A Toll-Bridge
Even If You Ignore The Charge!

There Is Always A Watcher
And
Man Is Never Permitted
To Be A Permanent Scofflaw:

You May Escape Payment ... Today!
You May Escape Payment ... Tomorrow!

You May Have Even Gotten Away ... Yesterday ...!

... I Hear A But!

Indeed You Did

So Just  Remember That

Jesus Christ The Sinless One
Arose On The Third Day Avoiding Corruption
But, You
Base Bold Sinner
Borrowing Dinner
From Beelzebub The Brazen
Are Going To End Up In A World Of Sorrow
And
Abject Horror!

What Do You Mean By That?!

I Am Saying Plainly That

Sin Is A Cage

And

The Sinner Is In A Grudge Match

But
Salvation Is A Rugged Path

- Against A Stunning Vista -

With Pure Water To Sustain Life
And 

A Shepherd Director Healer Sealer Savior
Making The Way
Marking The Path
Leading Souls Safely

And 
Feeding The Souls Fit Food

As They Willingly Walk
Wisely

Ever Climbing To Eternal Life!

How Can Sin Be A Cage
When I See Bold And Aggressive Sinners 

Living Large With Gay Abandon
And In Visible And Outlandish Prosperity!?!

What, May I Ask, Do You Call Prosperity?!

Money, More Money And More Money
To Do What You Want
When You Want
With Whomever You Want
Wherever You Want
Just Because You Want
To Make Yourself Happy!

You Poor Thing!
You're Still Young! 

You'll Soon Learn!

All That Money Does

Is Make One Financially Secure!

It Is Jesus Christ Who Makes You Spiritually Rich
And
Eternally Prosperous!

I Never Heard That Before!

I'm Curious!
Can You Back Up A Bit And
Expand On How Sin Is A Cage!

When You Watch The World

You Hear ...

S alvation
I sn't A
N ecessity!

And You Are Encouraged

To Always Think Of ...

S elf
I n
N eed!

But ...

S elf Is A Sinner
I gnoring The Pleading Of Our Savior God Whilst
N eeding To Be In Control As It
N udges Away Restraint And
E dges Out Truth And
R ushes Toward Damnation!

Whoa, Momma!!

And, Then

There Is The Gilded ... Cage ...

• Do What You Want
• Take What You Desire
• Set Aside Restraint
• Believe That Feeling Is Appealing

And Fool Yourself That

• Death Is All That Is At The Great Journey's End!

Looks Are Deceiving, Friend!

The Truth ...

Take What You Want
And
Pay ... At The End Of The Path
For It!

I Get It!

Pay ... Path ... Payth!

Every Path ... Has A Payment!
Each Man ... Has A Choice:

Live A Life Of Restrain In Christ Jesus
Or
A Life Of License With King Lost!

I Like It! I Like It!

Neither Path Is As It Appears!
One Must Follow The Leader!

Problem Is
Only One Leader Cares!
The Other Is A Bottom Feeder!

Jesus Cares!
Satan Dares!
Dare To Care About Jesus!
Dare To Send Satan Far Away!
He's At The End Of His Day!
Do Not Fear!

Living In Sin Is An Illusion! 

Salvation Is Not A Lie

So

Trust The Lord Of Life

The King Of Creation

Who

For Love Of You

On Calvary 

Suffered Bled And Died!

Nothing Between ...!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Help Me To Spurn The Devil ...!

There Is Nothing Between 

My Soul And My Savior!

How Special!

You'd Better Believe It!

All Joking Aside
Have You Really Considered
- I Mean All Of Us -
What Will Happen When Jesus Christ
Finally Steps Away From Being Between Us
And Our Father God!?!

Oh, I Can Answer That One:

All Hell Breaks Loose

Because

There Will No Restraining Force
To Stay Satan's Vile Hand
And Every Evil
Will Be Unleashed Upon Unsuspecting Man!

Fred, If I Were You
I'd Go Real Easy-Like
On The "Unsuspecting-Man"Thing!

I Agree!
Not To Be Harsh, Unfeeling And Unkind
But You Get What You Pay For!

Preach, Brother!

You Can't Call The Savior Of Mankind

The Lord Of Life

The Creator Of The Universe
A Good Man
A Fable
A Bedtime Story
An Irrelevancy
And Believe That When The Chips Are All Down
- Even Cast Aside -
And You're Totally Exposed 

To The Commodity Called Damnation

That You Boldly Purchased
That Mercy

- Honorably, Permanently, Retired
From Calling Men To Salvation
And Having Given Way To Justice -
Is Going To Saddle Up Again!

Ain't Gonna Happen!

It's Harvest Time! 

You Reap What You Sow!
You Gotta Eat What You Grow!

My Grannie Always Talked About
Walking Back Over Bridges You Burnt!

Mad Man, How Can You Walk Over A Burnt Bridge!?!

Very Easily ... In Your Mind
Because
It Ain't Goin' Happen In Reality!

Ahhhh!

The Realm Of Regret
Recrimination
What If
Woulda Shoulda Coulda
Did Not!

Sounds About Right!

The Saints Of God Will Have Be Sealed!
The Minions Of Satan Will Have Be Marked!
The Saints Of God Will Have Jesus' Peace
AndThe Minions Of Satan
Will Have
The Seven Last Plagues
Upon Which To Feast!

The Mere Thought Of That

Is Mind-Bogglingly
Skin-Crawlingly
Stomach-Churningly Awful To Contemplate! 

If That Is The Case

Then You Need To Remember 

Who Paid The Price Of Your Salvation

Who Daily Keeps You Alive

Who Constantly Blesses You Immeasurably

And

Who Will Raise You Up

To Eternal Life!

Indeed, My Brother!

Indeed!

Think On This ...

Lip Service To Almighty God

Is

Disservice To Needy Self

And

It Is Time, Brethren

That We Get Shuck Of Satan's Ways

And Get His Hell-Bound Crew Off

Our Complacency Shelf!

You Mean It Is Time To Bury Our Complacency!

Hear! Hear!

It Is Time To Destroy All That Is Useless!

It Is Time For Us To Stop Playing The Game Clueless!

It Is Time For Us To Give Up Acting Foolish

And

It Is Time For Us To Really Let The Lord Jesus Christ

Truly, Truly, Reign Over And Rule Us!

AMEN!!!!

PRAYER:

Father,

Lead Me

Not Tomorrow

But Today

In All Ways!

Bless Me, I Beseech You

To Walk On The Straight

And

Narrow Way!

Guide Me And Direct Me

Protect Me And Correct

So That In The Great Day

Soon A-dawning

I Shall Have Nothing To Regret!

Help Me To Be Ever Bold

Where The Words Of Truth And Life

Are Concerned

And

Help Me Always, Dear Father

The Devil's Entreaties

To Confidently Spurn!

May The Holy Spirit Indwell

And

The Holy Angels Influence

Even As They Surround

And

Bless Me, Lord, Please Bless Me

To Arrive Safely At Home

And

Walk Forever On Holy Ground!

In Jesus Christ's Name

I Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN!
