Looking Forward!

 We Are Nearing Home 
And 
We Need To Keep Our Hearts Stayed Upon Our Lord Jesus!

May These Words Of The Sweet Psalmist 
Be Your Daily Prayer For 2020 
As We Continue To Grow In Grace 
And 
Manifest Faithfulness Towards Almighty God! 

I Pray That We All Will Always Be $1.00 Short Of 
The Bus Fare To Willful Disobedience And Presumptuous Sin
And 
Always Have A Free Taxi Ride 
To Willing Obedience And Heavenly Delight! 

May The Holy Spirit's Call To You 
Be The Highlight Of
And 
Anchor For, Your Life! 
Blessings Be Upon You, Beloved!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We Are Another Day Closer 
To The Glorious Coming Of
Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ
And I Pray For Continuing Strength 
And Preparedness For The Celebration!
Blessings Be Upon You Always!

Thanks, Kindly! 
We Are Headed Into A Storm
Like The World Has Never Seen
And
Only Those Who Stay Anchored
- Rooted And Grounded -
In The Lord Will Survive!

I Sincerely Pray That We Will Not Permit 
The Desire For Comfort And Ease 
To Deter Us In Our Walk To Eternity!
May He Find Us Faithful!

We Have Come Too Far To Turn Back Now
So I Pray That The Good Lord Hold Us Up
To Make It To The End!

I Am Anxious To See Those Pearly Gates
So Let's Faithfully Keep The Faith!

I Can See It All!
First, The Pearly Gates
The Streets Of Gold
Foundations Of Precious Stones
The Tree Of Life
And
The River Of The Water Of Life
And
Seeing Our Dear Savior  ... Always
Will Be The Best Sight Of All!

What a Glorious Day That Will Be!
We Must Keep Faith First, Last, And Always! 

Amen!
I Pray For This Also!
Thank You And May Almighty God Grant Us All His Mercy
Blessings And Continuous Favor 
Not Only For 2020 But For Eternity! 

AMEN!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ... PRAYER: 20/20 Vision For Circa 2020

Father,
I Come Humbly, Believing, And Hope-Filled
Seeking Christ's Righteousness And Your Rich Blessings!
I Desire 20/20 Vision
In My Eye, My Ear, My Heart!
I Desire To See Jesus Christ Clearly
To Hear The Living Word Trustingly
And To Accept His Rulership
So That From The Ways Of Carnal, Sinful Flesh
I Shall Surely Depart!

I Do Not Ask For 20/20 Vision
To Play A Market That Will Inevitably Crash!
I Do Not Desire 20/20 Vision
To Know That Unchristian Entanglements
Will The Heart-For-Christ Smash
And
I Do Not Desire 20/20 Vision To Know
That Satan Seeks My Hope-For-Heaven
To Securely Dash!

You Have Given Unto Me The Word Of Truth
The Living Word For The Wise
The Word That Tells Of Jesus Christ
The One Who For Me Was Crucified
So
In Faith, For Love, With Hope, I Plead
For 20/20 Vision For The Year 2020
So That I, A Child, A Student, A Servant
Will Ever Always Be Able To See
My Father, My Teacher, My Master
My Hope, My Help, My Salvation
My Creator, My Redeemer, My Friend
My Lord,  My God, My King
My Surety, My Security
He Who Has In His Hand Extended To Me
Life, His Life, Without End!

Please Unstop My Itching Ears!
Please Clean My Beclouded Eyes!
Please Send An Angel To Place A Coal
From The Altar Of Heaven
Up My Known-Lying Carnal Tongue
And Take From Me The Heart Of Stone
And Fill Its Place With A Heart Of Flesh
Malleable To Your Ministrations
Your Leading
Your Will
Your Holy Way
And
Bless Me, Lord, Bless Me
With The Overarching Desire
To Never From Your Side
Ever Again To Walk Away!

Father,
We Can Tell The Weather
And We Recognize The Changing Season!
Please Help Us, Me And My Kind
To Recognize The Signs Of The Time
To Understand That A Man
Sitting Between Two Angels
Will Not Ever Be The God Of Glory
That The People Of God
Should Not Form Confederacies
With Known And Proud Idol-Worshippers
Against The Expressed Will Of The Eternal God
That Saturday Is The Sabbath Of The Creator God
That Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon
That The God Of Grace
Is The Same
Yesterday, Today And Forever
That Money Does Not Make A Man Rich
That Lack Of Money Does Not Make A Man Poor
That Only Good-Book Learning Makes A Man Wise
That Children Are An Heritage Of The Living God
That We Must All Give An Account
To The Eternal God
Whether We Are Rich, Poor, Free Or Slave
That To Obey Is Better Than To Offer Sacrifice
That Truth Is A Shield, A Sword And A Bed
That Satan Is Still The Father Of Lies
That Self Is Always A Bold Sinner
That Hope For Heaven Should Be
The Fact Of Our Lives
That Man Will Never Be Saved In Sin
That Man Is Required To Forsake Self, Sin And Satan
That Death Is Sleep To Be Awakened From For The Saint
That The Dead Know Exactly Nothing
Can Do Nothing, Can Hear Nothing
That The Dead Are Not In Heaven
But Are In Their Graves, Their Long Homes 
Awaiting The Voice Of The Arch-Angel
To Come Forth
Either To Commendation ... "Well Done!"
Or Condemnation ... "Depart From Me, I Know You Not!"
That The Only Holy Ground There Is
Is Where Two Or Three Are Gathered 
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Where He Promises To Be Present
That Jesus Christ Is No Magician
That He Never Promised His Servants Earthly Riches
And
That Our Wealth Is Stored In The New Jerusalem
The City Of God With Streets Of Gold
And Foundations Of Precious Stones!

Father,
Please Help Us To Have A Spring Cleaning
In Our Hearts
Clearing Out The Rubbish Of Sin
So That The Sun Of Righteousness
By The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
May Inhabit And Rule
Never To Depart!

Please Help Us To Be Kind To Ourselves
And
To Each Other
And 
For Jesus Christ's Sake!

Please Help Us To Live For The Lord Jesus Christ
To Walk In Truth
And
To Diligently, Faithfully, And Enduringly
Follow The Light That Is Life!

May The Holy Angels Influence Us Always
To Do The Good And The Right
And May We, By Our Faith-Filled Living
Seeks Always Our Glorious God Holy
Ever To Delight!

Oh, Father,
The Day That You Gave Us Is Ending
And Spiritual Darkness Does Descend!
Many With Misguided, Devilishly-Illuminated, Minds 
Are Calling Light, Darkness
Good, Evil
Sweet, Sour
And 
Saving, Ennobling, Truth Is Cast Down Into The Street!
Please Disabuse Them Of The Power Of 
Their Gross Conceit
The Vile Deceit
Because They Are Leading Innocent People Astray
And Please Remind Them That Without The Creator
The Lord Jesus Christ The Righteous
They Would Have Neither Body, Voice
And For Certain Sure
No Heart Beat!

Oh, Lord
How Are They Increased That Trouble Your People!
Please Remember, Please Succour
Those Who Are Being Persecuted, Prosecuted
Terrorized, Tortured, Demonized
And Remember The Marked Graves Of The Saints
Who Have Given Their Lives In Your Holy Service!
Remember Those Who Mourn
And Be With Those Who Anticipate A-Mourning!

Please Be With The Praying People!
Please Help Us To Endure By The Faith That Works
Because Of Love!
Please Help Us To Look Up And To Walk On
Carrying The Banner Of The Lord Christ
Refusing
No Matter How Strong The Provocation
No Matter How Enchanting The Enticement
Our Savior, Ever, To Deny!
Help Us Stand In Your Truth
Even If The Heavens Fall!

We Are Saved By Grace Through Faith:
It Is Your Gift To Us!
Help Us To Be Strong In You, Lord:
You Are Our Shepherd
And In Your Abiding Love
We Have Heart And Soul Rest!
Help To Remain Faithful!

Father,
Please Pity Us Who Pray!
Please Remember Us Who Look For The Coming Great Day
And Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home
For We, Your Believing, Watching, Waiting
Working, Wise-Unto-Salvation People
Will Have It To Be No Other Way!
Help To Remember That It Is
The Mighty God Whom We Serve!

Please Increase Our Faith!
Please Keep Us Humble, Hopeful, Harmless And Helpful
And 
Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For Which We Plead
In The Matchless Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
We Love You More Than Life!

Please Come For Us Soon, Lord!

AMEN!

Digging For Treasure In The 23rd Psalm

I Have A Loving Shepherd! 

I Am An Obedient Sheep!

I Don't Lead The Lord: He Leadeth Me!

He Promised To Fulfill All My Need

And 

To Tell You The Gospel Truth

Because Of Him, I Have No Real Wants!

I Do Not Lie Down In Places Of My Carnal Heart's Choosing

For Those Places Are Always Brown And Dry! 

He Causes Me In Springy Green And Lush Pastures 
To Take My Rest!

My Soul Is Not At Enmity Against My Savior

So This Known Good Ever-Giving Shepherd

Blessing And Faithful

Leads Me Gently Along Untroubled, Still, Peaceful Waters

And 
By His Own Scarred Hand

He Refreshes And Restores, My Soul

Which, Because Of Past Transgressions, Sins, Trespasses, Iniquities

Had Been In A Terribly Dry And Thirsty Land! 

He Turns Me Away From The Path Of Self
From Doing Thing Known-Unrighteousness
But
Terribly Convenient And Enticing

Unto The Paths Of Righteousness

Which Bear His Name ... The Family Name

For Which He Is Justifiably, Truly, Jealous! 

You Know, 

I May Walk Through The Valley Wherein 
Is

The Shadow Of Death

But ... No Surprise To The Household Of Faith

Going There, I Fear Nothing Called Evil

Because 
My Shepherd ... The Good Shepherd

Is 
Ever With Me

And 
Glory Be To The Father

He Is The Lord Of Life!
Angels Excelling In Strength Are Able Companions
Providing Capable And Sure Protection!

The Mortal Life Is Strife

But 
Because He Is The Only Way To The Father

The Truth That Opens The Storehouse Of Heavenly Delight

The Living Word That Is A Lamp That I Carry

And 
A Light That Makes Me See The Way To Plainly Walk

I Don't Have To Wring My Hands With Worry

Or Scratch My Head For Sorrow! 
His Holy Spirit Abides With Me!

He Has A Rod 
But 
Not For Belaboring My Back! 

He Has A Staff To Draw Me Close To Him

And 
Because I Am A Child

Worthy To Be Raised In The Fear And Admonition Of 
The True And Living, Eternal, Holy God
Both Rod And Staff Comfort Me! 

I Am Taught, Directed, Corrected And Protected! 

I Am Blessed 
And 
I Know It! 

He Prepares A Table Of Innumerable Blessings 
In My Own Sight

And
It Is Grandly Displayed 
In The Presence Of Those Who, For His Name

Have Marked Me As Their Enemy! 

It Is Really A Sad Situation For

I Could Tell Them Of What He Has Done For Me

What He Is Doing To And For Me

What He Will Do For Me

What He Has Done For Others
And

What He Could Do For Them

But 
They Have Assumed The Adversary's Attitude 
And 
Undertaken His Rabid Position
But, Nevertheless
I Faithfully Pray For Their Souls' Salvation! 

My Shepherd, The Lord, Anoints My Head
Sets Me Apart

Sanctifies Me For His Service 

With The Holy Oil Of Gladness

The Spirit Of Truth

And

My Cup Of Eternal Blessings

Does, Indeed, Overflow! 

Even In Drought, My Bread And Water Are Sure! 

He Gives Me A Guarantee

- For He Is My Surety And Security - 

Against Sin, Self, Satan, Death, The Grave
And 
Hell! 

I Believe His Word 
So I Keep His Guarantee, His Word In My Hand
Before My Eyes 
And 
On My Lips! 

I Tell The Good News All Around! 

Goodness And Mercy

Are Going To Follow Me All The Short Days Of 
This Mortal-Life Training-For-Heaven Ground

But

In The Fullness Of Time ... His Appointed Time

I Shall Dwell Is His House

- The Lord Of Glory's Great House -

With Him

Having Been Glorified And Immortalized

And
Rendered Incorruptible

For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity! 

I Shall Mount Up With Wings As Does The Eagle!

I Shall Run With The Fleet-Footed Gazelle 
And 
Not Be Weary

And

I Shall Walk The Hills Of Zion

And 
I Shall Not Faint! 

The Lord Is, Indeed, My True And Only Shepherd:

I Shall Not Want ... Perishable Things! 

Because He Is, I Am

And

Because He Made Me

And 
Maketh Me To Be Like He Is

I, By His Great Grace, Shall Behold His Face

And

I Shall Only Be Satisfied

When At The Day Only Of His Appointing

I Awake In My Own Flesh

And 
See Myself With My Own Eyes

Adorned With His Likeness! 

What A Glorious Day That Will Be! 

The Shepherd ... My Shepherd 

Is 
The Lord Most High 

And 
Of A Portion Of His Bounty

I Refuse To Be Denied!

His Saving Grace 
Is 
Sufficient For Me! 

Think On This Thing ...

 

 

Only The Lord Is Good 
And 
Only The Lord Does Good For Us Who Are His By Creation

And 

By Redemption! 

Goodness And Mercy Are Attributes Of 
The Character Of The Eternal God

And 

He Can Only Be To Us What He Is ... Naturally! 

Please Dare To Be Blessed: 
Accept Almighty God's Goodness 

And 

Let His Great Mercy Stream Into Your Life Immeasurably! 

With Jesus Christ ... The Lord Who Is Almighty God

As Captain Of Your Mortal Life 

You Are Guaranteed That When This Life Shall End 

You Shall Awaken From Sleep To Live With Him Eternally! 

Be An Ambassador For Christ: 
His Way Leads To The Eternal Life Of Joy And Peace! 

Peace Be Unto You!

Leap ... For Joy!

Flying Leap
     Leap Of Love
          Lovers Leap
               Leap Of Faith
     Leap Year
Leap-Frog 
And
Leap For Joy!

We Discussed This Before 
And 
We Shall Do It Right Here

Right Now ... Again:

Every Christian Called Must Take

The Leap Of Faith

Or They Will Not A Seat

In The Heavenly Home Take!

But It's So Hard

Flying Into The Great Unknown 

Not Knowing If Flesh Will See The Light Of Day ...!

... It's Very Interesting That You Said The Light Of Day

And 

Not The Light Of Life!

Why Would You Worry About Seeing The Light Of Day

When He Who Is The Light Of Life

Is

Your Creator Savior And Redeemer

And

The Very One Who Has Promised That

If We Live For And Die In Him

He Will Raise Us Up To Live With Him!?!

When We Are On His Side

It Is Guaranteed That 
We Shall Reach The Golden Shore!

Have You All Not Realized Yet That 
It Is Your Carnal Side That's Calling The Shots

And

Sending You Down The Primrose Path

And
All The While Making You Forget That 
Our Savior Did Not Wear 
A Crown Of Velvety-Soft Sweet-Smelling Roses!?!
Rebuke Self!

It Was For Our Salvation That Jesus Wore That 

Cruel, Tortuous, Crown Of Thorns

Real Spikes 
Not Cute, Little, Bitty Pimplers
So, Be Grateful For Grace
And
Leap For Joy!

In The Love Of The Lord Christ
There Is No Disgrace!
Of His Living Love For You
See To It That
You Daily Take Your Taste!
And
Exercise Your Holy Faith! 

Remember That He Is Our Shepherd!

Life Makes It So Easy At Times To Forget That!

Well, See To It That From Here On In That
You, By Working Faith, Choose To Remember!


Remember The Sweet Psalmist, King David 
Who Confidently Said:

And
Rest In The Blessed Assurance!
 The Day That We Fully Believe That Our Shepherd 
Is 
The Lord Most High

The God Of Grace

The Creator Of The Universe 

And 

Our Best Friend 

Whom We May Call Upon 24/7 

For Any Reason At All

Is 

The Day That We Will Indeed Know 
What It Is Not To Want ... Anything! 

We Want What We Don't Have 

But 

When We Realize That All Our Desires Are Fulfilled 

By And In Christ Jesus

We Find Peace And Rest

Fulfillment 

And 

Satisfaction 

In Knowing That Jesus Christ Is Our All In All! 

We Are Because He Is

And 

We Are, Through Him, Ever Blessed! 

He Provides For All Our Needs: Ask And Ye Shall Receive! 

Trust And Obey! 

Walk Wise And Pray

And 

Shop In Heaven's Storehouse: Our Bill Is Already Paid!

There Is Peace In Joy And Joy In Peace
And Jesus Christ's Peace Is Ours:

He Has Given It As A Gift!
Drop A Knee And Say: "Please!"

I'll Tell You The Truth!
Put That Way
That Leap Of Faith Is Looking Mighty Attractive!

I Hear You!
It Even Sounds To Me Like A Leap Of Love
When We Leap-Frog Over That Damned Satan
And Into The Arms Of Our Lord!

No Sound, My Friend!
It Is The True Leap Of Love!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Self-Mutilation!?! Why!?!

What Is There

What Darkness Is There

What Sorrow Is There That You Can't Expose

That You Can't Share

That Will Make You Happy In Another Persona

That Would Make You Mutilate Your Body

In An Effort To Obtain Cash

Or Companionship

Or For Notoriety

For Peace Of Mind

For A Peaceful Sleep At Night!?!

What Is So Fascinating About

Being Someone Else That 
You Would Rather Die For A Lie

Than Trust Almighty God 
And 
Walk Wise In Living Truth!?!

Are You Bigger ... Better
Stronger

More Creative Than Your Creator!?!

Are You More Inspiring Than Jesus Christ
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Inspires Us All!?!

Is Your Way ... Which Is Not The Way Of Almighty God
More Reasonable ... More Practical
And

More Feasible

Than The Way Of The Eternal God!?!

Why Are You Choosing To Walk In Lock-Step

With Wicked Satan

The Lying, Murdering, God-Fraud

And

His Fallen Angels 

Who Whisper, Whisper

Tempt, Tease, Torment And Terrorize

Those Of Us Who Faithfully Rely On Our Jesus Christ
And
Treat Even Worse
Those Who Do Not On Jesus Christ The Lord

Constantly, Consistently, Critically Rely!?!

Know The Right ...

Self 
Is 
A Notorious, Unrepentant, Sinner!

Why Are You Relying On Self!?!

Self Gets What It Wants

Even If It Means Destroying Its Host

To Get Its Own Way:

Self Is A Parasite

All Day ... In All Ways!

Self
Is
A Liar
And

The Favored Child Of Satan! 

Self Always Cries About And For Self

And

Only At Own-Way's Titties

Is Self Satisfied! 

Do Not Rely On Self For Living Success! 

Self 
Is 
An Undertaker

A Truth Faker

A Reality-Escape Faker
And

A Grave-Top Raker! 

But, There Is Hope ...

In The Good Book's Notes 

For How To Cope

How To Survive

How To Thrive

How To Really Be Alive

No Scissors

No Knife

No Palette Of Paint

Only Truth

Only Light

Good News The Soul To Delight

And

A Change Of Clothing

The Garment Of Praise

The Character Of Christ

The White Robe Of Righteousness 

The Heart Of Flesh

The Eye Salve For Sight

Fire-Tried Pure Gold

A Bath In The Stream Of The Blood Of The Christ

Who Paid Our Bill

To Give Unto Us His Everlasting Life To Live

Free And Clean

In A Prepared Place On The Eternal Shore! 

No Life Without Christ ...

It Is Appointed Once For Man To Die! 

A Man-ReMade Body Dies Twice!
But

The Christ-Created

And 
Recreated Body 

Through The No-Limit Space Flies

And 
In The Palace Of The King 

Safe ... Redeemed

Abides! 

An Expected End ...

Those Who Are Repentant For Sin

And 
By Enduring, Working, Faith, Die In Christ

Die ... To Live Again! 

Unrepentant Sinners

Those Who Boldly Sin Against The Holy God

Willfully Defacing The Image Of God In Man
Worshipping At The Throne Of Self
- The Known False God -

Die ... To Die Again! 

This Is Unnecessary, Uncalled-For, Pain 
And 
A Crying Shame! 

You've Got Jesus Christ So Lean ...

Jesus Christ Died To Save All Mankind
But
Jesus Christ Saves Who Ever Chooses To Be Saved
By Choosing Jesus Christ The Righteous
As Savior, Lord And God! 
The Ball Is In Your Court!

You Have Help ...

Faith 
Is 
Jesus Christ's Daily Gift To Me ... To You

To Help Us Make The Informed Decision
But

If We Refuse His Gift

His Offer Of Everlasting Life
The Great Salvation
We Willingly, Willfully, Unwisely
Put Ourselves On Course

For The Lake Of Fire, Known-Coming, Collision! 

Open Your Eyes ...

No Force ... Just Fact

Man Is Under Demonic Attack

But

Jesus Christ Has 
And Is 
Making The Way Safe And Clear!

Do The Right Thing ...

Humble Yourself

See And Express To, And For, Jesus Christ
Your Heartfelt, Personal, Need

And

Importunately Pray, Pray, Pray!
And

Give Almighty God His Due Glory
And
Invite The Holy Spirit Your Heart To Enter In

And 
From Deceitful, Self-Absorbed, Self

Boldly, Aggressively, Definitively, Walk Away! 
In Jesus Christ, Alone
Is
Found The New Life
The New Birth!

Jesus Christ

*** For You, Personally ***

Lovingly, Sacrificially, Cares! 

Carpe Diem ... Seize The Day!
