The Book Of Love, Law And Light For Life
Implores Fallen Mankind To Bow, Believe
And
Bend The Will Before The Lord Who Saves, Seals
And
Satisfies The Soul For Time And Eternity!
Facts ...
In Every Baby Born To Mankind
There Is The Possibility Of:
A Child Of God
A Student Of The School Of Jesus
A Residence For The Holy Spirit
A Worker For The Kingdom Of Light
A Doer Of Good Deeds
A Helper Of Man
A Blessing To The Brethren
A Faithful Friend
An Accepter Of God's Grace
And, Also The Dread Possibility:
A Rejecter Of Almighty God's Mercy
And
The Pearl Of Great Price
Christ's Purchased-For-Us Salvation
That That Is For The Accepter
The Priceless Gift Of Eternal Life!
Life Is The Open Book Exam
That ... By Personal Will Man May Choose To Fail!
You'd Better Stop!
Nobody "Chooses" To Fail At Living!
You Err, Mon Frere!
I Never Said Fail At Living!
I Said Fail The Exam Of Life!
I Don't Understand!
I Thought They Were One And The Same Thing!
Regrettably ... And Yet, Thankfully
They Are Two Distinct Things!
You Are Born
Therefore, You Are Living!
Ding, Ding, Ding!
You Are Passing Through Life
Until You Fail At Living
Which Means You Are Dead
Rotten And Forgotten
No More Loves Or Hates
Expectations Or Disappointments
No More A Place Under The Light Of The Sun
No More To Receive The Blessing Of
The Guidance, Correction, And Protection Of
The Father's Beloved Son!
Okay, Okay! I'm Feeling You BUT ...
... The Exam Of Life!?!
Yeahhh!!
The Exam
Aka The Examination Of The Life Lived
By The Man Woman Child Born
Rich Poor
Free Slave
Red Yellow Black White
Wise Foolish
Learned Untaught
Pagan Christian
Religious Irreligious
Hateful Hurting Hungry
Happy Sad Filled
Gluttonous Abstemious
Is An Open Book Examination Where ...!
... What Book!?!
Nobody Ain't Give Me No Book To Study From To Take No Examination Of Life Examination!
Again, Mon Frere, You Err!
The Lord Christ
Via The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Inspired Holy Men To Document For Us
His Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
For Every Single Human To Know!
Bub, You Know You Lie!
Not Everybody Knows Of The Lord Christ!
Not Every Body Is A Christian!
Not Everybody Can Read!
Not Everybody Speaks The Same Language!
Not Everybody Serves The Same God!
Ahhh, I Was Expecting Those Challenges!
One ... The Gift Of Speaking In Tongues
Aka Speaking In Other Languages
Was Gifted To Mankind On The Day Of Pentecost!
Two ... Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of God!
Three ... The Word Of God
Shall Go Into All The World For A Witness!
Four ... All Mankind Shall Know Of The Doctrine!
Five ... The Law Of God Is Written
On The Table Aka The Tablet Of Man's Heart ...!
... Man's Heart Has Two Sides
Lungs Two Sides
Two Ears
Two Eyes
Two Kidneys
One Mouth ...!
... One Heart ... Two Chambers
Love For God And Love For Your Fellow Man
Duty To God And Duty To Your Fellow Man
And
That Examination Of Life
Covers Every Single Solitary Iota Of
Man's Humanity To Man
Man's Worship And Service To The Creator God
Without Exception
Absent Preference
With Clear Focus!
Did You Hear!?!
Did You Listen!?!
Do You Read!?!
Did You Do!?!
Do You Accept!?!
Did You Ignore!?!
Do You Gainsay!?!
Did You Reject!?!
Do You Believe!?!
Do You Doubt!?!
Did You Add!?!
Do You Subtract!?!
Do You Share!?!
Did You Prepare!?!
Do You For Your Own Soul Care
To Fear Him Who Did For Your Wretched Sin Pay
So That He Could Before His Father Declare:
I Paid Their Costs!
Please Accept My Character For Theirs!
I Desire Them To Be Where I Am!
Protect Them Through The Strife!
My Spotless Life Has Purchased For Them
A Share In My Eternal Life!
I Have Made The Way Clear
And I Am Bringing Them Home
My Glory Forever To Share!
Amazing Love!
Jesus Made The Way
And
He Has Left A Road Map For Us To Carefully Follow
No Shortcuts
No Cutouts
No Switchbacks
No Detours
No Broadway
Only A Strait Aka Difficult
Narrow Aka Only Way!
The Only Way Up Is Forward!
If We Step Off The Path
The Only Direction Is Down!
If We Stay On The Path
The Only Protection Is Up
The Available Correction Is Holy
The Safety Is The Seal Of God
Satisfaction For The Soul Is
Christ's Salvation By Our Departure From The Ways Of Satan
The God-Fraud
And
Acquiring And Maintaining An Intimate Knowledge Of
The Detailed Instruction In The Available Accessible Book!
He Gave Us The Book And
He Expects Us To Open, Read
And Follow The Instructions!
The World, Sin, Self And Satan Poses The Questions And
The Book - The Good Book -
Has The Answers!
All The Answers!?!
All The Answers!
If That Is The Case
Nobody Will Fail The Exam Of Life!
Again, Mon Frere, You Err! You Err!
How So When You Said
The Answers Are In The Book!?!
The Answers Are In The Book
But ...!
... Don't Say It ...!
... The Book Is Considered A Decorative Piece
A Status Symbol
A Dead Letter
An Irrelevancy
An Out-Of-Step Communique
Wanting The Moderns
The Illuminated
To Sing Outside Of The World's Music
Outside Of The Self-Pleasing
Self-Serving
Self-Aggrandizing Tune!
What's Wrong With Self!?!
I Like Myself!
Loving Self Over Jesus Christ The Lord
Leads Self To Sin
Compliments Of Satan
Who Encourages One
To Reject Salvation Which Comes Compliments Of The Savior
Without Whom No Flesh Can Be Saved!
Spirit Of The Living God
Help Us To Open
To Read
To Understand
To Accept
To Respect
To Love
To Follow
To Share With Others
The Good In The Book
So That We Are Blessed
As We Bless Others
And
Bless The Lord ...!
... Bless The Lord!?!
Sure!
He Sacrificed!
He Gave The Book!
He Preserved His Word
And
Our Commitment By The Acceptance
And
The Practicing Of The Precepts Of
This Living Word
Tells Our Savior That He Is Loved
And
His Sacrifice For Us
Is
Personally Accepted!
Everybody Has To Go On The Record!
Pass The Exam And Pass On To Eternal Life!
Fail The Exam
And
Eternal Damnation Will Be On Your Permanent Record!
Oh, Man!!!
Just So You Know That This Is Real
Consider Disciples Simon Peter And Judas Iscariot!
Both Were In The Intimate Presence Of The Savior
But
Their Ends Speak
To The Two Classes Of Mankind:
Judas Iscariot Went Out From The Presence Of Jesus
And
It Was Night!
He Hung Himself!
Simon Peter Went Out From The Presence Of Jesus
And
Wept Bitterly!
He Was Converted To The Cause Of Christ
And
Encouraged The Brethren!
He Was A Pillar For The Lord
And
His Name Is Immortalized
On One Of The Foundations Of Zion
New Jerusalem
The City Of God!
So, Then What Would You Say Was The Difference Between Them!?!
Judas Served His Sinful Self!
Simon Served His Loving Savior!
Judas Lived In The World In The Now!
Simon Lived For The World To Come Later! The Truth Still Remains ...
Every Man ... By The Evidence - The Pure And Holy Evidence In The Book -
Must Make That Decision:
Lust-Filled Life Now, Damnation Later!
Christ's Selfless Love Now
And
Christ's Glory Later!
The Ways Are Two: Light And Darkness!
The Answers Are Yeah! And Nay!
The Leaders Are The Savior And Satan!
The Destinations Are Heaven And Hell!
The Motivators Are Doubt And Faith!
The Good Gift
Is
Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Salvation
Grace And Mercy
Hope And Help
And
Healing And Sealing!
Everything Outside Of The Blessing ...!
... Is The Curse ...!
... Which The Book Shows Us How - In Our Individual Lives -
To Get Said Curse Reversed!
Put Like That, I Need To Dig In The Book!
Once There, My Friend
You Will Find Hidden Treasure!
Believe Me, This Go Around
The Hunt Shall Truly Be My Pleasure!
I Cannot Take This Anymore!
I Have Had Enough!
I'm Sick And Tired Of These Trials
And I Feel Like A Dog Being Carried By The Scruff!
Come On, Lacey!
You've Got To Hold On To Hope!
The Lord Is Our Shepherd
And
It Is Only Through His Merits
That We Shall Safely Reach Home! Trust Him!
Oh, Just Shut Up Already And Leave Me Alone!
I'm So, So, Very Tired That
Right Now
This Very Minute
I Don't Even Care If ...!
... Please Don't Say That!
Why Shouldn't I!?!
It's How I Feel!
Lacey, Aren't You Forgetting Something Very Important!?!
Like What, Ms. I Don't Have A Care In The World
No Bug In My Salad
No Bee In My Bonnet
No Broken Nail In My Shoe!?!
I'll Act A Though You Did Not Say That!
Big Whoo Who!
Since You Are Intent On Feeling Your Feelings
And Are Enjoying Permitting Satan To Color Your Rainbow
I Shall Tell You A Testing-Time Story
And
You Shall See From It How A Life
Lived For And In Jesus Can Go!
Oh, Goodie!
A Story To Put Me To Sleep!
At Last! I Shall Get Some Rest!
Speak!
Father,
Please Have Mercy On Your Dear Child, Lacey!
Aren't You Supposed To Be Telling Me A Story!?!
Help Us, Dear Lord!
There Was Once A Girl Named Rainey ...!
... You!?!
Yes!
Rainey Had A Good Life!
Chairs Under The Table
Food On The Plates
Beverage In The Cups
Water In The Taps
Lit Bulbs
Clean Clothing Warm Bed
Level-Heeled Shoes Engaging Work
Love Of Almighty God Joy In Christ Jesus
Comfort Of The Holy Spirit And
Protection Of The Angels
When Suddenly
The Dark Horse Reared Up
And
Let Loose A Vicious Kick
And
Every Last Thing In Her Life Was On Fire
And
Not In A Good Way!
Rainey's Life Was Having A Hit Parade!
Poor Rainey ... I Can Relate!
Hit In The Pocket Book
Hit In The Head
Hit In The Hope
Hit In The Heart
Hit In The Faith
Hit In ...!
... Belief!
Rainey's Foundations Were Being Shaken
And
She ... I ... Was Being Tested
Tried, Shaken, Stirred
Fileted, Fricasseed
Milled, Pounded
Pushed, Prodded
And
I Was Feeling Things
And
Feeling, Feeling, Feeling Hemmed In
Overwhelmed
Coccooned ...!
... Inside A Dark Cloud!?!
Why, Yes!
Uhh, Huh!
The Light Of Hope ... GONE!
The Light Of Life ... ABSENT!
The Light Of Truth ... AWOL!
And The Electrician ...!
... INCOMMUNICADO!
Wait A Minute!
I Thought I Was Telling The Story!?!
You Are!
You Were!
You're Taking Too Long!
Okay, Ms Suddenly Found Her Voice
Know It All!
You Tell The Story ... If You Can!
I Can And I Will!
I Suddenly Feel ... The Power:
Satan Was Doing His Boss Act!
He Was Watering Doubt!
He Had Installed Black-Out Curtains
And He Was Short-Circuiting The Channel Of Hope
The Channel Of Peace
The Channel Of Light
The Channel Of Mercy And
He Had Seemingly Blocked
The Grace Notes Station!
I ... You ... We Were All Alone
Cut Off
Adrift
Listing ... In A Holey Boat In The Raging Sea
At The Mercy Of The Storm Of Wind
Programmed To Destroy Us
Unless ...!
... In Faith, Nothing Wavering
We Plead For Patience
Not To Be Removed From The Crucible
But
To Receive Strength To Endure
Until
In Almighty God's Providence
The Dark Cloud Be Lifted Up
And
We Emerge ... Renewed
Refreshed
Reformed
Blessed ... Substantially Blessed ...!
... Until The Next Time ...!?!
Until The Next Time!
This Makes Me Think Of The Divide
Between The Egyptians And The Hebrews
The Chosen People Of God!
I Don't Get The Link!
What Do You Mean!
The Cloud Over The Hebrews
Provided Protection From The Heat
And
Direction In The Day!
It Provided Light At Night!
In The Day Of Impending Disaster
It Was A Shield Of Light For The Hebrews
And
A Wall Of Darkness To The Egyptians!
It Protected The Hebrews
And
It Frightened The Egyptians!
I Get It!
There Is A Great Deception
Being Perpetrated Against The People Of God!
Satan Counterfeits Everything That The Lord Does
Because He Can't Create Anything
And Because He Has No Desire That We Should Find Our Peace, Our Rest
Our Blessing In The Lord! The Blackness Ain't Real!
Bingo! Don't Trust Your Eyes! Trust Your Faith And On Jesus Christ Rely!
Suddenly, I Am Feeling Blessed!
I Wonder Why!
Nothing Has Changed In Your Life
In The Last Thirty Minutes!
You're Wrong, Sweets!
I Have Just Enjoyed
A Major Attitude Adjustment
And All Because Of A Lil' Thing Called Insight!
Insight Gives Foresight
And
Foresight Provides Perspective
And
Perspective ... Gives Light
And
Light ...!
... Gives Life!
Jesus Christ Is Light!
Jesus Christ Is Life
And
When We Boldly Trust In Jesus
- Not In The Sight Of Our Eyes
Nor The Feeling On Our Skin -
We Receive Both Light And Life
And
Will Survive Satan's Inflicted Strife!
Jesus Christ's Light And Life Is
Our Survival Knife!
Remember ... Word ... Way ... Walk ... Wise!
The Word Points The Way That
We Shall Walk Wisely Upon!
Don't Look In: Look Up!
Don't Feel For Self: Fear God!
Don't Cry Over The Lying Circumstance:
Let The Light Of Life
The Word Of Truth
Constantly Edify And
See That You, Always
By The "It Is Written!"
The Lost Liar, Deny! Deftly Defy!
Rainey, Please Pardon Me
For Behaving Like A Bear
With A Thorn In His Paw!
Of Course, Lacey!
Thank You, Kindly!
Now, Will You Tell Me What Was It In The Word That
Changed Everything For You!?!
What Is It That Makes The Difference To You!?!
I Stood ... I Stand
On A Simple Promise Of The Lord:
Where Did You Get Such Faith!?!
The Same Place You Should Be Getting Yours:
From Jesus Christ The Righteous Our Savior, Lord, God And Soon-Coming King!
Do You Realize That There Is A Whole Bunch Of Intertwined Things That We Must Participate In Daily!?! Like What, Pray Tell!?! Daily Grace!
Daily Faith!
Daily Strength!
Daily Blessings!
Daily Trials!
Daily Confession! Daily Repentance! Daily Growth! Daily Dying To Self!
I Hate, Hate, Hate, Daily Trials!
They Are So Very Trying
And They Put Me In A Really Bad Mood!
Lacey! Stop It!
Jesus Said That We Are To Take Up
Our Cross ... Daily
And Follow After Him!
Indeed, He Did!
And, He Also Said
That It Is By Tribulation That ...
... We Shall Enter The Kingdom!
No Cross ... No Crown!
It's Amazing When You Think About It!
Wearing A Cross Is So Very Easy
But
Bearing A Cross
Is A Whole Different Kettle Of Fish! Tell Me About It! Chin Up, Old Girl! The Lord Overcame And We, Too, By His Grace Shall Do Likewise! I'll Leave You With One For The Road:
The Judgment, Sight And Hearing
In The Jealous, Envious And Rebellious Heart
And
All Who Take This Path To Power
Shall See Their Grass Wither
Never Having Produced
A Goodly All-Glory-To-God Pretty Flower!
Korah, Of Hebrew-Exodus Fame
Was As The One Called Lucifer Who Was Elevated Among His Brethren
But Was Desirous Of The Position Of The Leader
And
Ended Up Being Cast Down Into Hell
Neither Having His Own Place
Nor The Place He Coveted
Which Led To His Eternal Disgrace!
Jealousy Touts Itself A Beautiful Jewel!
Envy Is The Setting In Which It Is Framed
And
Rebellion Is The Rich Attire
Gold!
Polished And Aglow
Bright And Bold
By Which The Heart Hardened
Puts On A Sold-Out
Spectacularly Foolish
Against-Almighty-God Cabaret Show!
Rebellion Is As Witchcraft
Known Denounced By The Living God
But
Beloved Beyond All Wisdom
By The Instigating God-Fraud!
Brethren, Beloved
Listen Unto Me:
The Lord Does Not Play Mind Games
And
Neither Should We!
What The Lord Has For You
He Gives Unto You
And
Your Gift Should Never Be Trivialized
Because
All The Lord's Gifts Are Useful ... As Given
In His Service
So Do Not Be Rebellious
And
Your Foot ... By Turning Away
Nor Your Heart ... Elevated With Sinful Pride
Against Almighty God Lift!
Punishment May Not Be Swift
But
It Is Always Sure!
Repentance
Is
The Perfect Cure!
Deny The Liar
And
Get Off His Deceitful Lure!
Jesus Christ Saves! Love Uplifts! Truth Prevails! Light Always Shine! Darkness Always Hides! Blessings Cover! Curses Reveal! Hope Springs Eternal! Doubt Does Death Deal!
Heaven Is Home! Earth Is School!
Don't Be A Fool!
Don't Be Satan's Tool!
The Wages Of Sin Is Death! Faith Is A Daily Distribution! Grace Is The Always Available
And
Enough
Love Of The Lord Distribution!
Almighty God's Grace Is Sufficient! Strength Is According To Daily Need!
On The Bread Of Life Joyfully Feed!
The Fruits Of The Spirit
Are All Distributed To All The Saints But
The Gifts Of The Spirit Are Individually Distributed
To The Keep All The People Of God Walking Perfectly In The Faith Of Christ Jesus - Who Is The Truth - And As Protection Against Fanaticism And Error!
Every Body Ought To Know ...
Outward Beauty Fades
But Inner Character Lasts Forever!
Hear, Help, Hope Heed Heal, Happy And Heaven
Begin With The Letter "H"
As Do The Words Hard-Headed
Heathen, Hubris, Hate
Hurt, Hammer And Hell
So Let's Buy The Free Clue And Hurriedly Head Home
Father Of The Faithful,
Lover of My Soul
I Come To You Knowing
You Can Lead Me to My Heavenly Goal!
I Own No Other Master!
I Own No False God!
I Seek No Other Rest For My Soul
And I Willingly Reject Satan
He Who Desires To Be Like You, The Holy God!
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Promised Me A Home!
A Home Where All Is Blessing
A Home From Whence I Shall Never Desire To Roam!
Father,
I Have Made My Decision!
I Desire To Enter Into Rest!
I Desire The Eternal Blessing
And To Meet Part Of The Conditions
My Known Sins I Readily Confess!
I Repent Of All The Yesterdays
Of Doing Things That Did Not Your Heart Please
Of Walking Wise In My Own Will Of Relishing The Known Sin-Disease
Which Attaches To Us Fallen Creatures
Like So Many Leeches, Maggots And Fleas!
Please, Father
By Your Holy Spirit
Cleanse Me And Remake Me To The New Life
Where Waiting Upon You
In Faith
In Obedience
With Endurance
Will See Me As Gold
Emerge From The Carnal, Mortal, Strife!
I Endeavor To Keep Your Holy Commandments!
Please Help Me To Keep That All, Always
So That I Do Not By Breaking A Single One
Become Guilty, According To The Word
Of Every Last One!
Please, Father
Remember The Poor And The Lonely!
Remember The Sad And Sorrowing, Too!
Remember The Proud And The Puffed Up!
Remember All Those Who Do Not Yet Know
Jesus Christ, The Holy One Just
Faithful And Ever True!
I Beseech You, Father
For A Special Blessing
For All Those Who Are
Who Will Be
The Inheritors Of The Eternal Blessing
Life Everlasting With Our Lord Jesus Christ Who Died To Save Us All And Who For Us Was The Once-For-All Sacrifice!

This Unspeakable Gift Spurn!
I Love You, Father

Thank You And Bless You
For Hearing And Answering The Prayer Of Faith!
Thank You For The Blessed Hope! Father, With All My Heart I Thank You For The Blessing Of Praying!
I Offer This Prayer In The Matchless Name Of
Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ
Your Beloved And Only Begotten Son
Our Redeemer
And
Soon Returning King! We Need You!
