Living For Jesus!

Feelings Are Sought!

Feelings Are Fought!

Feelings May Be Bought

And

Feelings May Be - By The Unwary - Caught!

Hold-It In
Let-It Out
And
I-Don't Care
Are Children Of One Father!
Born Of Different Mommies, There Is No Doubt!

They Are Loved, Appreciated
Blessed ... You Can Be Sure
And
They Each Must Make Their Own Personal Decision
To ... Or No To
Walk Through The Pearl Gate
Through Heaven's Front Door!

In The Way Station Called Earth
In The Attitude Called Life
In The Method Called Living
They Each Face The Mortal Strife:

Will They Walk Wise Unto Salvation!?!
Will They Indulge The Folly Of Sin!?!
Will They Listen To The Voice Of The Sweet Spirit
Or
Will They Run With The Rabid Sinner, Satan
And 
Be Worldly
Going Wild-Goating!?!

Who Will Order Their Steps!?!
Who Will Point Them To Eternal Life!?!

Who Will Say:

This Is The Glorious Way:

Walk Ye In It!?!

Who Will Do The Good And The Right
And
Turn Them Away From The Life That 
Does The Purchased Soul Blight!?!

Who Will Stand Up For These Dear Ones!
Who Will Speak Truth To Them In Righteousness!?!

Free Will And Free Choice ...

Will They Go Against The World's Ways
And
Choose To Cooperate With Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

Jesus Christ's Gifts 
Bless And Save ...

Hope 
Is 
A Seed That Does Eternal Spring!

Faith
Is 
The Gift That Gives As Long As The Soul Is Living!

Truth 
Is 
The Blessing That 
No One Knows Its Depth, Width Nor Height!

Trust 
Is 
The Conveyance Ridden
That Prevents One From Christ From Back-Sliding!

Forgiveness 
Is 
The Cloak 
That Is Buttoned On To Our Bodies By Belief!

Mercy And Grace 
Are 
Eternal Shoes 
On The Feet Of The One 
Who Is Climbing Jacob's Ladder 
To The Father's House 
Where Jesus Christ Have Prepared For Him A Place!

Endurance 
Is 
Cup, Bowl, Basket That Holds 
The Bread 
And 
Water Of Life 
In Working Faith's Two Hands!

And

All Combine In The Life Of The One
Who Sets Aside Self
Selfish Desire
Self-Satisfaction
And
Self-Aggrandizement
For Self Denial
And
To Love And Serve The Eternal God 
And 
To Love And Be Of Service To A Sister, A Brother!

Will They Choose To Feel The Personal Love Of Jesus
- Felt By Him -
For Each One Of Them!?!

Brethren,

Where You Are Hold-It In
Let-It Out
Or
I-Don't Care

You Were Purchased Without Silver Or Gold

And

At Great Price

The Blood Of The Innocent Lamb

- Once Dead -

But

Now Living Forevermore

Who Holds The Book Of Life 

And

You Are Called To Be A Blessed, Desired Child Of

The Great King, Holy Eternal!

Lay Down Your Pain

Your Sorrow

Your Shame

Your Doubt

Your Disbelief

Your Sin

Your Self

On The Altar Of Sacrifice

And

Ask The Holy God Loving

Giving, Forgiving, Providing

For The Outpouring

For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth

For Leading And Guidance

For Provision And Protection

For Comfort And Aid

For Faith And Endurance

For Forgiveness And Blessing

For Peace And Rest

For The New Life In Christ

Who, Alone, Saves!

Please, I Beseech You

Care ... Choose To Care

For Your Own Soul

And

Reach Out And Touch The Hand Of Hope

The Hand Of Healing

The Hand Of The One Who Reveals

Who Seals

Who Helps ... All
Who See Of Him Their Great Need

Who See In Him Their Soul Satisfied!

Live!

Live For Jesus Christ ... Now

And

You Will Live With Jesus Christ ... Later!

Jesus Christ Is Coming ... Soon!

NEW HEART: Only Jesus Christ Can Turn The Tide Of Sin!

So, Where Can You Go
To Find Truth, Love, Faith, Righteousness
Blessing, Goodness And Sweet Peace!?!

Oh, That's A Real Easy Question!

So, Are You Going To Answer It!?!

Oh, Sorry!
The Answer Is The Arms Of Christ Jesus
That Bread Of Life
Upon Whom We May Eagerly Feast!

His Word Is Truth!

His Love Is Pure!

Jesus Christ Is The Rock Of Our Salvation
And
He Is The Open Door
To The Kingdom Of Light, Love
Blessing, Peace And Rest
And
In His Presence
- Following His Lead -
We May All Become The Spiritual Success!
To Him, We Have Direct Access!

Jesus Christ Is Our High Priest!
He Is Our Only Savior!
He Is Our Only Intercessor!
He Is Our True Example Of How To Live
And
He Shows Us Also How And What To Give
To Those Who Have Needs
- Not Those Selfish, Self-Serving Wants -
Those Things That Bless The Heart
And
Glorify The Lord!

You Know, When I Think Of The Lord Christ
He Who Is My Personal Savior And Lord
I Am Blessed And Glad To Say It:

Thank God For Jesus!
Thank God For As The Faithful Lover Of My Soul
He Is Not ... Nor Cannot Ever Be
Anything Akin To The Unholy God-Fraud
Satan, The Wannabe God!

Jesus Christ Was Humble!
Jesus Christ Speaks Truth!
Jesus Christ Communed Constantly With His Father
And
Desires That We Commune Constantly With Him, Too!

We Are Called To Be Kind!
We Are Called To Be Just!
We Are Called To Be Giving
And
As Hard As It May Seem
Willingly Forgiving Of Those Who Have Falsely Accused Us
Unkindly Done Us Wrong
Those Who Have Besmirched Our Character
And
Have Viciously, Cruelly, Sought To Put Us Down
Because
We Look Up To Jesus
We Look Down Upon Sin
We Walk Enduringly To Hill Zion
And
We Turn Away From Satan
Who Would Have Us Precariously Perched
On The Rotten, Broken, Falling
High Chair Of Cherished, Known, Sin!

With The Lord Jesus As Our Captain
We Have No Choice But To Be Spiritually Renewed!

We Have To Turn Away From All That Defiles
And
We Have To Live Under The Umbrella Of Eternal Truth!

We Must Be Kind To All!
We Must Be Satellites Of None!
We Must Do As Jesus Christ Did
And
We Must Never, Ever, Worship The Elemental Sun!

We Are Not To Hold Up A Person Nor A Creature As God
And
We Are Not To Denigrate Nor Lay Down Any Human As Sod!

We Are To Bless And Not Curse!

We Are To Live Holy And Pure
And
Tell Others Of The Sin Cure
And
We Are To Do All That We Can
While We Can ... Where We Can
To Point Others To The God Who, Alone, Saves
The God Who, Alone, With Our Personal Permission
Removes Us ... By Our Willing Cooperation
From Being Sin's Body-Slaves!

What A Friend Is This Christ Jesus!
What A Lord Of All ... No Fraud!
What A King ... Good And Holy!
What A Shepherd ... Kind And Caring!
What A Master ... Benevolent!

Brethren,

There Is No Other Called God
That Will Ever Replace My Jesus
Who Is The One God
Who Keeps His Children On The Incline
To Rise Above Sin
To Be Better
To Do Better

To Rise Up To Glory
And
To Follow The Law Of Love Given By Our Holy God
Who Lives In Highest Heaven Above!

Jesus Christ Saves The Soul!

Jesus Christ Makes It Possible
For Us To Have Being In His Presence
As Our True Home Goal!

Jesus Christ Blesses 
And
He Desires That All Should Repent Of Known Sin
And
Be Forever Saved
But
He Will Never Force Us To Comply
Because
He Is The God Of Love!
He Is The Holy God Who Can Never Lie!

He Is The Creator God
The One Who Created The Heavens
The Earth
The Seas
The Fountains Of Water
The One God 
Who Painted The Beautiful Covenant Rainbow
In The Bright Blue Sky!

Jesus Christ Is Holy Love
And
There Is None Living
Who Can That Precious Truth Deny!

Brethren,

Abominations Are In The Land!
Sigh And Cry!
Sigh ... And Cry!

Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon
And
The Enduring Faithful Will ... With Him,
To The Eternal Kingdom Of Light
Fly
To Enjoy His Eternal Gift Of Eternal Life!

In His Kingdom
There Is No Night!

In His Kingdom
There Is Eternal Delight!

I Can't Wait For That  Flight!

Idle Minds, Idols ... Idolatry: Faith, Truth And Trust!

Idle Minds And Idle Thoughts

Are The Devil's Workshop!

Surrounded By Sickness And Suffering
Living In A World Of Temptation And Sin
Walking Toward Hill Zion
Dogged By Devils
- Some Bold And Some In Hiding -
Is 

The Lot Of The One Sinner Repentant 

Seeking, Finding, Following, Obeying

The One Who Saves, Heals, Reveals And Seals!

Jesus Christ Says Plainly:

Seek Me Diligently

And Assuredly

It Is Me That You Find!

Knock On My Door Boldly

And

You Shall Be Invited Inside!

Ask For Your Needs

According To The Word

My Will For Your Life 

And

You Shall Surely Receive

For I Am The Giver! 

I Am The Living Word!

I Also Give Unto You

Eternal Life

But

Know This My Children

For I Make It Plain

Doubt, Disbelief, Idolatry

Will Cause You To Receive From Me

No Profit ... No Gain

For These Are Millstone Out Of Place

And

Around You Neck

Dragging You Down To Perdition

Where Destruction Is All

All That You Shall Expect To Receive

When You Do Not My Living Word Believe!

Doubt Is Sin! 

Doubt In The Holy God

Is Also A Form Of Idolatry 

Because

You, A Mere Mortal

Lift Up Yourself Above The Holy God!

Disbelief Is Sin! 

Disbelief Is Also Another Form Of Idolatry

For You, A Child Of The Dust

A Creation Of The Most Holy

Dares To Question The Ways

The Wisdom Of Your Creator

The Word Of The Self-Existent One

Who Says

"It Is Thus!"

To Do This, Beloved

Is To Forget

Who Is The One Who Is Almighty God

Who Is The One Who Inhabits Eternity

Who Is The One Who Keeps You Alive

Who Is The One, Alone

Who Causes You Physically, Spiritually

To Live Abundantly

And

In Perfect Peace To Thrive!

Brethren,

Idolatry Comes In Myriad Forms
And
Shows Itself In Varied Ways
And
Appears In Uncountable Places
And
The Lord Who Reigns Over All Creation
Hates It All!

Anything That Causes Us To Dwell On It
To The Exclusion Of The Living God Holy
Is
Idolatry
And
Is To Be Set Aside
Whether It Is Relationships

Houses, Lands, Toys, Money Or Associations!

There Can Only Be One God

- The Creator God Holy -

In Our Lives!

Split Allegiance 

Is 

Wholly Despised By The Lord! 

Idolatry Is An Abomination
And
All Who Practice Such
Shall Never Have Their Nomination
- Their Election ... Their Call - 

To Heaven Ratified!

Idolatry Is A Lie
From The Father Of Lies
Who Lies For A Living
To Ensure That Others Shall Join Him
When It Comes Time For Him To Forever Die 

For Distinctly Gross, Base, Lies

Which See Unrepentant Men ... Dying

Because

The Lord ... The Judge

- Mercy Set Aside -

Is Unforgiving!

Have Hope ...

Jesus Christ
Is
To Be First And Foremost In Our Affections
Or We Shall Perish 

As Did The Idol Worshipers Of Old!

There Is One God:
One God Giving
One God Truthful
One God Worth Trusting
One God Blessing
One God Forgiving
One God Who Is Our Hope, Help And Salvation 

One God Who Is Forever Living!

The Lord Always Provides For His People
And
We Need To Hold The Things Of This World 

With An Exceedingly Light Touch! 

Earth Is A Way-Station!

Idols Are Useless!

Almighty God Is King

And

Heaven Is Home!

SEEDLINGS BEARING MATURE FRUIT: Hair Splitting!?!

One Of The Most Egregiously Stupid Statements 

Uttered In The Bible
Was Uttered By Israel's First Earthly Ruler King Saul
And
It Was Uttered In Direct Opposition
To A Direct, Immutable, Command Of 

The Eternal God Holy, Himself

Who Said Only A Priest Shall Offer Sacrifices!

Hear King Saul Sinfully Presumptuous

Unrepentantly Speak:

KJV 1 Samuel 13

12 Therefore said I, 

The Philistines will come down 

now upon me to Gilgal, 

and I have not made supplication

unto the LORD: 

I forced myself therefore,

and offered a burnt offering.

I Dare To Say That
This Reeks Of The Ways Of Satan
That Self-Justifying, Gainsaying, Lying, Apostate
Who Saw Everything In The Light Of Self
And

Boldly Built His "House" On The Foundation Of

"There's Something In This For Me!"

Hairsplitting Like A Boss ...

King Saul Knew He Was Wrong
But
You Know How It Is When Self-Will Holds Sway:

"I Must Force Myself To Sin

Even Though I Signally Know It Is Wrong
But, My Self - My Dignity - Is Important To Me
So I Must Put Myself

And My Selfish, Unholy, Known-Disobedient Desires
Before The Commands Of The Holy God
So That He Cannot Say That
I Did Not Obey His Command To Offer Sacrifices To Him
Even Though I Know Fully Well What I Should Be Doing

- And Should Not Be Doing -
But Because Of Appearances
- My Sinful Lust For Adulation -
I Will Permit Myself 

- I Don't Really Want To But I Must -

I Shall Force Myself To Sin 

So That I Will Be In Seeming Obedience!

Appearances Must Be Upheld, After All!
God Gets A Little Something And I Get The Remainder!

That Prophet Samuel Is Sooo Tardy

And I Cannot Abide Having My Precious Time

And My Sinful Desire For Instant Gratification Thwarted!

Ahhh, Yes ... I Have The Perfect Excuse!"

Brethren,

No One "Forces" Themselves To Sin!
Sinning Comes Naturally To All Of Us

Who Are Known Born In Sin
And
Shaped In Iniquity! 

Sinning Also Always Comes Naturally
To Those Who Place Self On The Throne That 

Should Ever Seat The Eternal God!

If We Truly Understood God
We Would Know That Not Even Obedience To His Will
Requires Us To "Force" Ourselves To Obey His Word
And 

To Walk In His Ways!

And Don't Get Me Started

On Our Blaming The Evil Satan

And His Fallen Angels ... That Demonic Force

And Inanimate Objects

And Wayward Friends

And Heartless, Mean, Society

And Neglectful Parents

For What Is Our Sworn, Cherished

Desired Intention To Do Known Evil ... To Begin With!

Moral Laws
Cannot Fix
Spiritual Problems!

Nobody

- Created Visible Or Spirit -

Can Make A Human Being Do Anything ... At All!

Almighty God Won't Force You

And

Satan And His Angels Can't Force You!

Be Prayerfully Courageous ...

For Those Of Us Who Will To Do The Right

To Walk In The Ways Of The Lord Christ

To Do What Pleases Our Maker, Redeemer And Friend

Here's The Big Hint:

Spirit Of The Living God

Fall Afresh On Me
And
Fix Me!
I Confess My Known Sin!
I Repent Of The Past!
Lead Me Gently Homeward!

Mortal Man's Peace 

Is 

Found Only In The Presence Of Almighty God

Through Jesus Christ The Lord

And

Anytime Self Is Admitted
- Becoming The Third Party In A Two-Person Conversation -
Rest Assured
The Lord Becomes The Unwanted Participant
Is Minimized
Is Ostracized
And

Rejected!

A Threesome Is Unnatural

And

The Lord Is Not Ever Going To Be Participant

In What Is Ever An Abomination!

Listen Up ...

Don't Do The Living, Holy, God Any "Favors!"

Disobedience 
Is 
As The Sin Of Witchcraft!
Witchcraft Is Idolatry!
Idolatry Is An Abominable Sin Which
- Left Unrepented -
Leads To Sure Damnation!

The Facts Remain ...

King Saul Reaped What He Sowed
And
Is Right Now On The Unchangeable List Of 

Those Stricken From The Lamb's Book Of Life! 

King Saul Is Forever Damned!

Take Warning ...

When Pride Crosses Over Truth
Maliciously Ignoring Obedience
It Takes The Broad Path To No Hope
Which Leads To Unremitting Anger
Which Leads To Murder
Which Culminates In Death By Suicide
Even If The Fatal Blow
You, Yourself, To Yourself

Do Not Deliver!

Look Around Us
And
See The Fruit Being Harvested
From The Will-Grow Seedling Called 

Willful Disobedience Aka Sin!

Isn't It Time

That

The People Of God And Christ

Sigh And Cry

Get Ready

And

Look Up!?!

CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH: There Is More To Fear From Within!?!

Spirit Of The Living God

Fall Afresh On All The Brethren:

We Need Thee!

A Rotten Egg Is Dangerous ... Twice!
It Looks Good

Gives The Impression Of Being Beneficial
But
Once Broken
Smells Egregiously Bad

And

Taints All Touchers

Be They The Good, The Ugly Or The Bad!

Fashionably Playing With Sin ...

Don't Join The Fad
Thinking That With Its Possession
Your Domain Will Be Happy, Comfy And Glad! 

Do Not Take A Dab! 

With Known Sin Do Not Dabble!

Do Not Join The Gainsaying Rabble!
Bad Is Bad!

Guard Your Heart ...

To Believe Satan's Words

Is 

To Believe In Fables!

To Give Salvation

Only The Living God, Through Jesus, Is Able!

Brethren,

I Sincerely Believe That We Know Of A Surety That
The Kingdom Of God
Via His People On Earth
Is 

Seriously Under Attack!

It Wouldn't Be So Bad
If The Attack Was External
But
Truth Be Told
The Attack On Almighty God's Kingdom
Is
Internal!

Biblical History

And World History Speaks ...

Haven't We Learned Anything From King Herod!?!

Achan!?!

Balaam!?!

Judas Iscariot!?! 

Ananias And Sapphira!?!

We Have More To Fear From Inside
Than What Is Outside!

Enter: The Dragon's Egg

Creeping Compromise!

Creeping Compromise Does Not Roar!
He Speaks ... Softly
To Me
To Thee
To Everybody!

Creeping Compromise Offers ... The Cure
For All The Saints Who Want To Be Friends 

To All The Faiths Of The Church World!

Friends With The Wilding, Whirling, World
Friends With The Churl
Who To The Depths Of Hell
Would Our Hearts And Persons Hurl!

Creeping Compromise Is Sold As Food!
He Is Shelter!
He Is Common-Good Glue

And
A Party Canape

And
He Is A Hot Toddy
Alcohol Infused
Sure To Comfort And Confuse
The Unwary Body!

Creeping Compromise Is Even Billed As

A Feel-Good, Good-For-You Hobby!

Creeping Compromise Does Not Offend ... Man!
He Offends The Creator!
He Does Not Offend The Liar!
To The Truth He Is A Bold Traitor

And

He Cannot Be Walked Upon
Rested Upon
Relied Upon
Because
He Has No Power

And

He Will Be Burned, Consumed

With All Remaining Being Dust ... Powder!

He Is Even Now Irretrievably Mixed 

With The Doubting, Disbelieving

Gainsaying, Own-Way Brethren

And
Is Making Them Fit Only To Become
Lake Of Fire Chowder!

WARNING:

Creeping Compromise Is A Sneak
Whose Pointy "But" Has A Slow Leak
Which Leaves A Stain
Upon Every Upturned Cheek
Which Causes The One Smeared
Of The Stench Of Willful Sin
Known Sin
- Unconfessed Sin -
Substantially To Reek!

But, Even Now, There Is Hope ...

The Dragon 

Is 

Already Defeated By The Willing Sacrifice Of

The Able, Loving, Faithful, Innocent

Giving, Blessing, And Still Receiving 

Sinners-Turned-Saints, Lord Jesus Christ
And

Is Just Waiting ... Not Idly Though

For The Formalities 

- For The Known Dead -
So Don't Suck The Egg!

If You Do

You Shall Surely Drink

The Bitter Cup's Dregs!

Eat Of The Living Bread!

Shouldn't The Living

After The Living God Holy

Boldly, Eagerly, Longingly, Seek!?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: WHO DONE IT: One Letter ...!?!

The Case Is Not ... Is ... Over!
They've Been Tied Up In Knots
And
All Because Of One Letter
Good People Are Being Given The Blot!

They Can't Stay!
They Have To Go!
They Aren't To Speak To Anyone
And
Anyone Who Answers Them
Must Give The Approved Answer ...!

... Which Is!?!

No! No! No!

But How Did This Happen!?!

It Was A Destroyer's Special!

He Changed One Letter In Praying Family's Name
And
Now They Are To Be By All Thoroughly Disdained!

Praying Family Is A Delight To Know
But
They Were Against Dark Lord's Bank Balance 

Making Deep Inroads By Telling The Truth
Doing The Good And The Right
Blessing God By Blessing Others

Telling The Good News Gospel
To The World And His Brother
And
Not Preying Upon Sisters, Friends
Brothers, Co-Workers
Relatives And Others!

Dark Lord Flipped The Script
And
Instead Of The Praying Family
Praying For Self And Others
They Are Now Publicly Branded
As The Preying Family
Preying With Malice 

Upon The Citizen Sisters And Brothers!

It Was A Stroke Of Evil Genius!

All Because Of One Letter!?!

No!

It Was Because The Good Praying Family
Was Causing Others To Believe That
They Could Change
That They Could All Things Well
That They Could Be A Blessing To Others
And That 

- This Was The Kicker -
Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost!

All The Publicl- Known Violations Against 

The Preying Family
- Those Known Crooks, Robbers
Liars, Murderers And Thieves -
Were Transferred To The Praying Family's Record
And
They Were All Arrested
Tested
Rejected
And
From The Society Of Men
Needing Soul Salvation
Ingloriously Ejected!

Lord, Help Us!

There Is No Recourse!
There Is No Appeal
And
For A Vengeful Lie

Everything That They Diligently
Conscientiously Worked For
They've Been Forced To Leave!

I Guess You Know That This Doesn't End Here
That Dark Lord Has Something Else Nasty
Under His Long, Black Sleeves ...!

... And Jesus Christ The Righteous
Has The Whole World In His Hand
And
Every Believer In His Heart!
We Are The Apple Of His Eye!

But, Wait
How Is The Family Taking It!?!

Just As Normal ... As Part Of The Journey!
They Are Praying, Praising
Trusting, Hoping
Speaking Truth In Righteousness!

That's Good! 

They Believe That God Is In The Moment ...!

... In All The Moments!

... And You'd Be Right! 

Almighty God Is The Eternal Spirit 

Who Inhabits ... With Us ... Time And Space

Past, Present, And Future

And

All Times And All Places!

He Was ... He Is! 

He Is To Come!

He Was Dead ... Is Alive

And 

Is Alive Forevermore!

He Holds The World In His Hands 

And 

He Dwells Within The Regenerated Believer's Heart! 

He Is Hope For Today

And 

The Promise For The Future!

He Created Time

And 

He Is Not Restricted By Time! 

He Knows Our Needs For The Duration Of Our Lives

And 

He Reaches Into The Time Not Yet Constructed 

And 

Makes Provision For What Is Needful 

So As ... As He Says 

To Give Us A Hope ... A Future, 

An Expected  End!

He Is Our Great Awesome God!

He Is Holy! 

He Is Creator! 

He Is Divine!

Brethren, 

Dark Days Are Ahead For All Of Us

Who Choose To Believe In

And

Enduringly, Willingly, Lovingly 

Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ

So, Please, Let Us Keep Our Thoughts
Our Words
Our Actions
To Him Ever, Always, Inclined!

I'll Speak The Truth!
Jesus Christ Is Mine
And Heaven At The Last Trumpet
Shall Surely Be Mine!

Our God Is Ever Faithful
Ever Present
Ever Kind
And
Not One Of His Faithful Children
Shall Be Left Alone
Or Left Behind!

With The Almighty God
As Our Healer, Feeder, Leader And Sealer
There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause Us To Repine!

Let Us Pray With Passion Always
And
On Jacob's Climb Confidently Climb!
The Praying With Faith Family
Will Be More Than Fine!
