WORRY: Rid Yourself Of The Thorny One!

It Came As A Total Shock!
Worry Was Blind!
Not A Momentary Blindness
But
A You Will Never See
This Is Something That Not Even Jesus Christ
Can Fix Sickness!

Fact Is ...

To Save The Purchased-With-Innocent-Blood Soul
Worry Must Be Killed ... Dead, Done, Finished!

Worry Had Started Life In The Life
As The Embryonic Raised Eyebrow

By Associating With 

"What If!"

And

"But!"

He Was Transformed Into Doubt!

Don't Doubt This ...

Doubt 

Is 

Sin Against The Holy God!

Hope Tried To Educate Doubt
But
There Was A "But!"

• But What About ...!?!
• But What If I ... !?!
• But There Are...!
• But It ...!
• But He ...!
• But She ...!
• But They ...!
• But Why ...!?!
• But When ...!?!

Time Passed And Doubt Grew A Horn
First Thin And Straight
Then Curly And Fat
And
Old Satan Patted Him On The Back!

Doubt Had Been Tagged!

This Wasn't Going To Just So ...

So

Trust Joined Hope!
Faith Joined Trust And Hope!
Truth Joined Faith, Trust And Hope!
Grace Joined Truth, Faith, Trust And Hope

And
Mercy-Free Loved On Him
But
Doubt
- Being Grossly Deceived -
Metamorphosized
And
- "Lord Preserve Us From The Shame!" -
He Emerged In Colorful Array As
Worry!

Worry Built Himself A Bunker
A Base

A Hunker-Down Hole

Not Suitable For Lovers Of Light

And

Doers Of Good And Right!

It Was Viewed By The Followers Of Christ
With Blunt Distaste
Because, Because
The Master, Himself
Had Made It Quite Plain:

Do Not Worry!

I Am Your Help!

Ask The Father In My Name!

You Will Not Be Made Ashamed!

Problem, Problem, Problem ...

Worry Was A Self-Made Man!
Worry Knew Everything Better Than Others!
Worry Is Of The Seed Of The Goat-Man Clan!
Worry Is As The Grain Of Sand In A Clam

And

It Grows Into Something That 

The Unregenerated Mind Calls
Precious!

Now, That's A Real Sham!

Mercy And Truth Kissed ...

One Day
Holy Spirit Of Truth Appeared
And
He Was Taking No Prisoners! 

Mercy Was At Hand!

Holy Spirit Of Truth Revealed Plain Truth!
He Shed The Light Of Life Abroad
And
He Called Worry-Worn Man To Repentance
And
To Walk With The Lord Of Life In Accord!

As Was To Be Expected ...

A Real Nasty Muh-Cat Yuh-Dog Fight Broke Out
And
Worry's Curly Horn Was Plucked Out
By The Very Root!
He Started To Unravel At This State Of Affairs
And SoonHe Was Stripped ... Naked! 

He Wasn't Even Given The "Dignity" Of
A Tie Or A Pair Of Boots!

His Denouement Complete
Worry Died 

- Dried Up - 

In Disgrace
And
The Detritus Of His Ill-Spent Life
Blew Away, Blew Away
Just Like Fine Dust In A Gale!

Glory, Glory ...

The Children Of The Patient Holy One
Lifted Up Their Voices In Prayer And Praise
Glad
To Be Rid Of The Thorny One

From Within Their Midst 

Who Would Not Bend To Omnipotence
Who Would Not Accept Omnipresence
Who Would Not Respect Omniscience
And
Who Rejected The Lovingly Compassionate Nature Of 

The Lord Of All

The Creator And Sustainer Of Life!

"Jesus Christ Always Saves!"

Was Their Heartfelt Cheer!

So, What About You!?!

Did You Give Your Worry

To The Saving Lord Today!?!

Sitting At The Feet Of Jesus!

I Will Not Apologize

And

I Will Not Make Excuses!

If You See Me Sitting At The Feet Of Jesus
It Means That He Is Saying Something ... Everything
Which I Know 

And

Accept

That I Need To Hear

And

I Am Actively Listening To His Voice!

I Am Not Just There For The Photo Op!
I Am There Because
Being Away From His Presence
Is 

Something That My Regenerated Heart Cannot Bear!

I Have No Desire To Be A Judas!
I Desire To Be Like The Beloved Disciple, John
Moving Up From Sitting At The Master's Feet
To Reclining By Right Upon His Breast
To Touch Him
To Hear That Once-Broken Heart
With Saving Power Beat
And 

To Know That That Heart
It Beats For Me!

I Am A Sinner-Saved!
I Am A Prisoner-Freed!
I Am The Lost-Found!
I Am The Cursed-Blessed!
I Am The Once Blind-Now Sighted!

I Have The Ear Of The Savior!
I Am Held By The Hand Of The Creator!
I Am The Apple Of The Eye Of The Almighty
And
I Shall The Cast-off Damned Satan
By That Holy Spirit
- The Peace Dove
My Teacher
My Comfort
The Leader Into All Truth -
Confidently Defy And Deny!

I Have The Rock Of Ages To Stand Upon!
I Have The Haven Of Rest In Which To Abide!
I Have The Shepherd Of Souls To - Unafraid - Follow

And

I Have Heaven At The Last Trumpet For
My Soul's Goal!

Available Grace

And

Free Mercy

Are Mine

From The Loving Hand Of The Glorious Divine!

I Have Holy Angels Excelling In Strength For Protection!
I Have That Great Book To Direct Me
Every Moment Of Every Day
And
I Have The Most Precious Gift
Ever Given To And Utilized By A Human
A Communications Line Called Prayer!

The Truth Stands ...

My Lord, My God
My Hope, My Help
Reigns And Rules
Over All He Surveys!
His Word Is Sealed
And
Settled In Heaven
And
By His Personal Invitation
- Gladly, Eagerly, Joyously Accepted By Me -
I Am Going To Live With Him
In His Home In Glory!

After All That

What Then, I Ask You
Could A Man
Or
A Fallen Angel Damned
Possibly Do For Or Unto Me
To Scuttle My Belief 

In The Eternal God's Everlasting Plan!?!

Nothing!!

Brethren,

Please Let Us Take A Page From The History Book
And
Actively Choose To Believe The Lord Of Life

At His Living Holy Word!

The Old Town Crier Of Bygone Days
Listened To The Bonging Of The Clock
And
At The Last Bong For The Hour To Be Disclosed
Loudly, Emphatically, Clearly
Unashamedly, Unfailingly Stated
For Example:

"It Is 10 O'Clock

AND

All Is Well!"

I Believe The Lord Christ
Who Is Known Faithful
By Water, Word And Blood
Death, Ascension
And
Present Intercession
And
I Am Saying In Working
Waiting
Watching
Longing
Believing, Receiving
Trusting Holy Faith, That:

The Lord God Almighty

Is

On The Throne Of Heaven

*** And *** 

All Is Well!

Just Like A Tree That's 

Planted By The Water Of Life
I ... Willingly Cooperating With The Lord Christ
Shall Not  Be Moved!

May Almighty God Have Mercy Upon Us All!

Deny The Liar!

Consistent, Persistent
Resistant And That's A Shame
Were Having A Conversation About Faith
With Bertie Profane!

First Things First ...

Bertie Profane
Was Like The Vain Over-Reaching Mrs. Bucket
Who Pronounced Her Name As
Mrs. Bouquet! 

Bertie Profane Professionally Pronounced His Name As

Bertram "Bertie" Profanay!

By Way Of "Occupation"

He Was Satan's Henchman Dockie Drew's Man O' Business
His Fixer
His Friend

And
He Was Full Of Himself
And
He Showed It To Everybody That Was Anybody!

He Did Not Need A Cue!

Today Was A Big Day ...

As Already Explained

He Was Having A Having-Out With The Do-Gooders
Consistent, Persistent
Resistant
And
That's A Shame
And
He Was Being True To His True Name
And
Acting Truly Profane!

He Refused To Agree To Anything They Said

Even If It Was Plainly Shown Him In The Good Book!

Things Went On Like This For A Bit

Until The Conversation Turned To The Adversary

And 

On The Issue Of "Associating" With That Devil Aka Satan

Consistent Consistently

- In Jesus Christ's Holy Name -

Did Satan's Self-Willed Ways Deny!
Persistent Persisted In Saying: 

"Deny The Liar! 

Let The Lord's Name Be Glorified!" 

And

No Shock

Resistant Showed God-Fearing Resistance

By The Holy Spirit's Assistance!

And, Who Do We Have Next ...

Bertie Profane

- Never A Believer In Anything That

He Could Not Physically See, Taste, Feel

Touch, Hear Or Roll Over -

True To His Name 

Boldly Asked:

Who Do You Think You're Fooling With That Crap!?! 

To Which That's A Shame Was Heard Saying:

That's A Shame That You Believe The Devil 

When You Know Of A Surety That He Always Lies!

Hear That Profane Bertie Speak:

Truth! Lies!
Lies! Truth!
Six Ah One And Half Dozen O' The Other!
Turn Off The Light
Yuh Cahn Tell One From The Other!

In Perfect Unison ...

Consistent, Persistent

Resistant And That's A Shame

Answered Him Quite Plainly:

May The Lord Have Mercy On Your Soul!
What A Bill Of Goods
The Devil To You Has Sold!
Try To Think For Yourself!
Turn Away From The Devil Cold
And
Repair Unto Christ Jesus ... Right Now
And
He Will Receive You!
Be Bold!

The Devil Is A Liar And A Murderer, Too!

He Has No Love For Man

And

That Includes You!

Easy Road Is Never Easy

And 

The Piece Of Cake Isn't Always Sweet

So Stop Trying To Be A Hard Case

And

Before The Lord

Bend Your Knees!

Well, All I Will At This Point Is This:

All Who Choose The Liar's Ways

Will

The Arch-Liar's Share, Share!

Bertie Profane Walked Away Cursing

The Do-Gooders

Their God

And

Their Good Book

And

Well Satisfied With His Day's Work

Not Caring That

He Was Grieving The Holy Spirit Away!

He Has Built His Life On Indulging

The Sin Of Presumption

And

He Thinks It Is Funny

The Lord Of Glory To Dare!

Brethren,

The Holy Spirit Calls

As Long As There Is Someone Who Will Answer

And

While The Cup Of Iniquity Is Not Yet Full

So Be Very, Very, Careful That

You Do Not Go The Way Of Satan

Putting Yourself 

Outside 

Of The Possibility Of 

Repentance!

Please Understand ...

There Is Nothing Worse Than

Calling For Mercy When The Door Of Grace

Is

Closed!

Pssst!?! Which Way Are You Headed!?!

Two Roads To Travel

Broad And Smooth

Narrow And Rugged
This Is Fact So Don't Marvel

Two Types Of People
Different As Chalk Is From Cheese
Different In Character Life
Dress And Conversation
One Will Suffer Temporal Strife
One Will Lose Eternal Life

Hmmm ...

As Strange As It May Seem
Both People Purport To Serve 

The Same Holy God
Yet, Who He Is To Each
Is 

Cause For Conversation Deep

Not Conversation Cheap

The Facts Make It Plain ...

They Can't Both Be Right
One Of Them Is Wrong
But
The One Who Is Not Right With God
Is 

Seen In Carnal Eyesight

To Be Temporally Strong

Hindsight Is Not As Good As 

Insight And Foresight ...

If Only Men Could See
As The Living God Sees
Oh, That Men Would Elevate Their Gaze
Oh, That We Would Submit Ourselves To The Living God
And
Refuse To Have Anything Whatsoever
To Do With The Fallen Angel
Who Kept Not His Exalted Place

And

Who Now Lives In Perpetual Disgrace

No Excuses Accepted ...

Greed Envy Jealousy ... Sin
Without Cause, Without Justification
Enter Into Our Hearts

But
We Who Trust The Lord Of Life
The Savior Of Us All
Run Speedily To The Rock Of Ages
And 

Upon His Dear Name Call

Because

We Have No Desire To Continue The Fall

Comfort And Joy ...

Faith Grace

Confession Repentance 

Mercy Forgiveness

Peace

What A Glorious Release
Is 

Gained By The Prayer Of Faith
To The God Of All Grace
In The Name Of Him Who Died
Who, As Creator Sustainer Savior
Redeemer Lord God King
And
Friend To End
Will Not Suffer His Committed-To-Christ Child
To Be Offended Upended
By Satan, The Murderer Called First

Who Is The Father Of Lies

And

Who Is Forever Cursed

Upon Whom Do You Rely!?!

Is Satan Serving You 

Or

Is It The True And Living Holy God

That You Daily Serve!?!

Are You Trusting The Plain Truth

Or

Are You Being Falsely Flattered

By The Bold Lie!?!

Are You Following The Holy God

Or

The Unholy Grifter!?!

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

REMEMBER:

The Forever Home 

- Prepared For You -

In The Sweet By And By

** Is Not **

A Goat-Man Lie

Nor

Pie In The Sky!

Residence In Heaven

Is

Personal Choice

And

You, Alone, Make The Decision!

In Your Longing For The Lord Jesus ...!

Read Your Bible, Brethren!
See To It That You Pray!
Share The Gift That The Gift
Gifted To You!
Spread Your Light Everywhere!

Wait Upon The Lord, Brethren!
Listen To The Truth Prayerfully!
Watch And Pray, I Beseech You
For The Coming Of Our Lord Is Very Near!

The End Of All Things Is Coming!
Be Serious About Your Walk With The Lord!
Have Your Priorities Ordered
Breathe Deeply In Communion With Our God!

Be Enthusiastic In Your Longing For Jesus!
Be Enthusiastic For The Kingdom To Come!
Be Enthusiastic In Your Sharing Of The Gospel
Be Enthusiastic To Expose The Lies Of The Fraud!

Be Eager In Doing The Lord's Bidding!
Be Watchful And Diligently Work!
Be Prayerful And Patiently Wait
And
In The Name Of Christ Jesus
Be Not Be A Laodecian At The Gate
Because
If You Already Have All In The World That You Need
The Lord Has Nothing For You
And
You Will Suffer The Lost Man's Fate!

Be Ye Anxious For Nothing!
We Are Kept By The Power Of The Living God!
Lean, Dear Ones, On The Lord Of Life
Who Has Promised 
And 
Will Deliver Unto You 
The Blessed And Sweet Reward!

Please, I Beseech You ...

Witness To Others Of The Eternal God's Love!
Witness To Yourself Of What He Did For You
Yesterday And Today, Even Right Now!
Let Your Faith Feed
On Him Who Sees To All Your Needs
And
Give As You Have Received!
See That You Praise The Holy God
And Not 
The Known Wily Fraud!

Brethren,
We Can Hasten The Coming Of The Lord!
Go Ye Into All The World
And
The Good News Gospel Teach!
Baptise The Called Brethren
In The Godhead's Name
And
Soon, Soon, Soon
You Shall Be Lifted Up
And
Out Of The Realm Of Fallen Man's Shame!

The Day Of Our Translation

To Be Ever With The Lord Of Life

And

Light

Is

Fast Approaching!

Work, Watch

And

Pray Always

That You May Be Found Clean

In The Eyes Of The Holy God

And

Counted Worthy

To Escape The Plagues On The Lost!

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

Is Jesus Christ The Righteous

Of Your Whole Life

The Only Boss!?!

If, At This Time, He Is Not

Please Reckon What Will Be Lost!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Is The Warm Embrace! + PRAYER: Father, We Know Not What Tomorrow Holds!

Truth Is Unpopular!
Self-Exaltation 

Is 

Rampant Among The People Of God
And
The Spirit Of Independence 

Is 

Actively Holding Sway!
If Only We Would Accept The Truth
And
Know, Of A Surety That
It Is Dependence On
And
Humility Before The Lord Christ
That Will Carry Us, Saved And Clean
To The Glorious Kingdom
In That Great And Awful Day!

There Is No Justification
Why A Fallen Man
Known Called To Repentance
To Receive Sure And Secure Salvation
Should Indulge Own-Sin Self-Pay!

The Facts Are Plain ...

Self Is A Sinner!
Truth Is A Sword
And
Faith Is A Shield For Us Who Walk With 

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Pride Is Slow Poison!
Freedom In Sin Is A Lie!
Grace Is A Gift To All Of Us
And
Christ's Death For Us Did Free Mercy Buy!

Do Not Indulge The Sin Of Presumption!
Do Not Embrace Hate!
Do Not Despise Chastisement!
Do Not Let Willful Disobedience
Design
Determine
Distribute For You
Your Eternal Fate!

Jesus Christ Was Humble
Prayerful
Obedient
Spirit-Filled!
On Calvary, His Will Was One With The Father's
And
In Mount Zion, It Is Still!

Let Us Will To Be Humble!
Let Us Choose To Set Aside Pride!
Let Us Follow Faithfully The Master
Permitting Him Our Lives To Guide!

Turn Away, Turn Away, From The Liar!
Turn, Turn, To The Light That Gives Life!
Turn Over Your Walk To King Jesus
And
His Spirit, Holy, Will Guide You And Teach You 

All That You Need To Learn!

Do Not Your Call To Soul-Salvation Spurn!
To Eternal Life, I Beseech You, Brethren
Turn! Turn! TURN!

PRAYER:

Jesus Is The Joy Of Living

And

His Call To Soul Salvation, Father

I Willingly Accept!

I Ask A Boon, A Blessing, Lord

A Benefit Sublime!

Please Help Me, I Beseech You

Not To Believe Or Act Upon The Lie

That Says That

Having Earthly Treasures

Will Mark Me As Among Those Who, By You

Are Blessed And Spiritually Fine!

Help Me, Daily, The Liar To Defy!

Help Me, Please, My Beloved Father

To Live As Jesus Christ Lived

To Pray And With You

To Constantly Commune

And

To Keep You Always Near!

Help Me, Dear Father

To Hold You Up In Godly Fear!

I Know Not What Tomorrow Holds

So Please Help Me To Live Abundantly Today

Doing All The Good That I Can

And

Willingly Doing All That You Say!

I Desire On The Mount Zion

By Right

To One Day, Triumphant, Stand!

Please Remember My Brethren, Father

Those Near And Those Far Away!

Please Provide For Them Out Of Your Bounty

Protection

Provision

Power

Grace

Faith

Love

Light

And

Those Things

Of Which We Presently Know Nothing

As The Need Arises

Every Moment Of Every Day!

Help Them Ever, In Working Faith

Constantly To Pray!

And, Dear Father

When Our Lives Shall Come To A Close

I Pray That It Will Be With Us

Found Wearing The Clothing

That Speak To The Character

Built On The Lord Christ

And

Absent Any Demonic Device

That Bespeaks A Character Not Regenerated

By The Laws That Speak Life!

Please Help Us To Give You All The Glory

All The Praise

And

All The Honor That Is Your Due

For We Ask These Few Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Oh, Father, We Do Love You!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + ALMIGHTY GOD IS: Be Still!!

... Everything Was Going Wrong
And She Asked Him About Help
About What To Do
And He Told Her
RSS3H-S!

That Didn't Go Over Very
And She Was Totally Ticked Off!

She Blew Up And Behaved Like

A Boiling Whistling Kettle!

Wait, A Minute!
Why Would She Be Angry!?!
What Was Wrong About What He Said!

She Knew What He Meant
But
She Did Not Want To Believe That 

She Only Had To Lean On Jesus

And

Step Out In Faith
So, Being Convicted Of Her Sin
And 

In A Last-Ditch Effort At Saving Face
She Lashed Out! 

She Had Forgotten That Faith, Works!

She Was, Well, Let's Just Say
Impolitely Mean!

But What About That Code He Gave Her!?!
What About RSS3H-S!?!
What Does It Mean!?!

Brethren, Beloved

Ye Children Of The Holy God!
Fret Not Thyself Over Trials And Troubles!
We Serve The One Living God
And
He's Not A Fraud!

We Are Not To Be Comforted By Cunningly-Devised Fables!
We Are Not To Find Comfort In Fallen Man!
We Are Not To Be Afraid Of That Dealer In Death And Destruction
Because
We Depend On The Creator
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Forever Friend
The Holy Son Of Almighty God
The Faithful Son Of Man!

We Have Omniscience On Our Side!
On Omnipotence, We Rely!
Omnipresence Is Here ... Don't Fear!
Look Up To Hill Zion!
Keep Climbing Jacob's Ladder
And
Rest In The Knowledge That
Our Father Feels Everything We Feel
And
For Us All
He Does Sacrificially, Lovingly, Totally, Take Care!

Almighty God Is
So, Be Still!
Almighty God Can Help
And 

He Does!
He Is The Sure Refuge For Us Children Made Of Dust!
He Placed The Breath Of Life Within Us!
We Live Because He Does
So, Fear Not!
Worry Not!
Trust His Care!
Believe His Love!

Brethren, Beloved

Almighty God Is
So, In This Trying Hour
Hold On To Him Who - For You - Died 
And, YetIs Alive!

Trust His Heart
And
Not Your Ears, Your Feelings
Nor Your Eyes
And
Trust And Praise 

- Not The Man-Made "Gods" Of Paper, Plaster, Plastic

Wood, Metal, Stone, Nor The God-Fraud, Nor The Man-gods -
But

The Living God Of Heaven

Who Can Never, Ever, Lie
And
Be Still ...!

... But What About The Code!?!

Jesus Christ Is RSS3H-S!

For All Of Us Who Will Believe

Jesus Christ

Is
R efuge ... In - Not From - The Storms Of Life
S hield ... Against The Known Enemy
S trong-Tower ... He Protects His Own
H aven ... For True Peace And Rest
H ope ... When Earthly Hope Is Gone
H elp ... That Is Always Sufficient, And
S alvation ... He, Alone, Utterly Saves

Gracious!

RSS3H-S Really Is Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Like It!

Don't Just Like It!

Remember To Remember It ... Always!

Jesus Christ Saves!

THE GLORY OF LIFE: I Believe HIM!

The Lord Is My Shepherd!
He Walks In Front
And 

Being Wise Unto Salvation

I Gladly Follow On Behind!

He Leads Me To Green Pastures
Where Food Suitable
Is 

Found For Me And My Kind!

He Leads Me To Still And Known Sweet Waters
Where My Known Sinful Soul 

Is 

Cleansed 

And

My Thirst Quenched!

He Spreads A Sumptuously Laden Table Before Me
Which My Enemies Look Upon Truly Amazed! 

My Head, Weary, He Anoints With Holy Oil
And
I Am No Longer Of The World Afraid!

He Leads Me In The Paths Of Right Thinking
And 

Right Doing
And 

It Is For His Holy Name's Sake!

All Glory, Praise And Honor
Are His ... Alone!

He Gives Me A Cup
- My Personal Cup Of Blessing -
Which He Causes To Overflow
And

- No Surprise -
If The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death 

I Must Pass Through
I Go There Unafraid
And 

With The Prior Knowledge
That He Conquered Death
And 

Will Come For Me
When The Last Trumpet Does Blow!

The Fact Of The Matter 

Is

That Goodness And Mercy Shall Follow Me
All The Days Of My Life
Because
I Have - And Daily Utilize - 

His Gift To Me Of His Holy Faith
And
I Have Placed My Complete Trust In Him!

He Is Not A Man 

And 

He Cannot Lie!

He Has Promised Me A Home
- A Forever Home With Him -
In The Father's House
And
Based On Personal Experience
And
Public Knowledge
I Believe Him!

I Do Not Walk Alone
And
I Will Not

- By His Great Grace -
Look Back Toward Sin
Doubt His Word
Go After What Is Not Bread
Deny His Sovereignty Over My Life
Nor Turn Again To Fables!

He Died For Me
And, So
I Choose To Live ... For Him!

The Lord Is My Shepherd
And
For That Which 

Is 

For My Good
And
For His Glory
I Shall Not Know Want!

Let His Great Name Be Praised! 

His Name Is Jesus Christ The Righteous
Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace

The King Of Glory
And
He Is Mine!
The Father

His Father

- Our Father - 

The Ancient Of Days Gave Him To Me

And

I Am Blessed!
