WHAT'S IN A NAME: "Pastor H. L. N'Do"

His Name Is H. L. N'Do

And He Is The New Pastor At Servants Of 

The Living God Gospel Assembly!

He Is Different!

Different How!?!

Is He Like Different, Okay

Or Different, Eh, Eh!?!

He Is Different Like

Straight-Laced 

Dot The I's, Cross The T's

Don't Make Stupid Excuses

Don't Deviate From The Book!

Oh, Dear!

The Last One We Had Like That

Was A Total Disaster Because

He Used The Bible For A For-Real Pillow 
And The Congregation For A Can't-Fail Bank!

Soooo, What's This Pastor H. L. N'Do's Real Story!?!

Aren't You Going To Ask Me His Full Name!?!

What For!?! Are You His God-Mother!?!

Charlene, I Really, Really, Really Encourage You 
To Ask Me To Tell You His Full Name!

Okay, Fine ... Since You Sound Sooo Desperate!

Trace, Good Bud, What, May I Enquire
Is Pastor H. L. N'Do's 
Full And Official Name, Pretty Please!?!

I'm Really Glad That You Asked!

Pastor H. L. N'Do's Full Name Is

Pastor Hear Listen N'Do!

You Get It Yet!?!

That Poor Man!

What A Burden He Must Have Borne As A Child!

You Haven't Heard The Best Part Yet!

He Loves James Chapter 1

And 
This Is What We Received From Him:

Those Who Indulge Man's Wrath

Aka Extreme Anger

Indulge In Foolishness 

The Results Of Which Cannot Be Withdrawn: 

Learn Self-Control! 

In The Bible Economy

Hearing 

Is 

Synonymous With Listening And Doing

And 

Those Who Listen To The Lord 

And 

Do As He Says Are Saved 

From The Wrath To Come: 

Nobody Disobedient 

Survives Almighty God's Wrath! 

If You're Speaking, You're Not Listening 

And 

If You're Not Listening

You Cannot Do Anything Sensible 

To Please Almighty God! 

When We Pray In Faith

Our Lord Hears 

And 

Does Something ... Good For Us! 

Let's Take That Good Practice 

Into Our Hearts 

And 

Make Our Hearing Truly Powerful 

By Actively Listening 

To Almighty God's Word 

And 

Deliberately Doing Good! 

Let's Let Our Speech Be Prayers

And 

Leave The Wrath To Man's Judge

Jesus Christ The King

Our Soon-Returning Savior

Lord And Almighty God! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Wow!
I Like Him!

I Knew You Would!

Simple Things Confound The Worldly Wise!

I Like Things Simple!

Clean Lines!

No Convolutions!

No Switch-Backs!

Just Give Me Plain, Straight-Forward, Speech And Action

Just Like The Word Of God!

I Hear THAT!

The God Almighty Says ... Ever Present Tense:

Do Good: Good Will Attend You!

Worship The Living God: Idol Worship Will Kill You!

Obey My Commandments: You Will Live!

Disobey My Commandments: You Will Die!

Don't Follow The Multitude: They Do Evil!

Be At Peace With God: I Create And I Destroy!

Don't Walk In The Counsel Of The Ungodly: You Won't Prosper!

Your Sins Are Scarlet: I Will Make Them White As Snow!

Don't Doubt: Faith Works!

Sin Costs: Salvation Pays!

Simple, Simple, Simple!

Let's Now Let The Fallen Wise Men Of The Earth

Complicate The Word Of God 

And

Complicate Simple Things:

Sin: What Is Sin!?!

What Is Sin To Me Is Not Sin For You

And If, Indeed, You Sin

Is It Not Possible That The Sins Of Your Forebears 
Are Manifesting Themselves

In Your Present Life!?!

You Are Not Responsible For What You Do 
Because Old Gran And Pop-Pop

Engendered In You The Capacity To Commit "Sin" 
Which Is As A Result Of 
Your Parents Not Nursing You For A Full Six Months 
And Neglecting To Give You

Whatever You Asked For 
To Satisfy The Yearning Child Within You Who Is Hurting

Even Crying Out 
For The Unconditional Love Found In The Hearts Of
 Truly Liberated And Emancipated Parents 
Who Are, Themselves, Seeking To Find Their Own Lost Child Within!

Oookay!

The Lord Says: Come Boldy

Confess Everything

Repent

Get Forgiveness

Be Cleansed!

How Is It Possible To Be Made Whole

If You Refuse To Acknowledge That You Are Broken!?!

If You Can Answer That, You Are The Boss!

He Can't Answer Because There Is No Answer

Just Like There Is No Excuse For Sin!

KISS!

Keep It Simple, Saints!

Satan Complicates Things!

The Lord Make Things Straight And Plain
So Pray Always ... Without Ceasing
And 
Trust Jesus Christ In All Your Ways!

Deceit Always Wriggles Like The Snake That Caused Sin
So Turn Your Back And Firmly Walk Away!
There Is Nothing Called A Win With Sin!
Make Jesus Christ And His Righteousness
Your All And Everything
And
Keep Satan And His Fallen Angels
And
His Henchmen And Their Iniquitous Ways
Away From Your Way Of Operating
So That You Do Not Receive Their Promised Reward!
Satan Is The Damned-For-Eternity God-Fraud!

Iniquity Is Planned Sin! 

Planning To Sin Is Planning To Die! 

Living Right Is Righteousness 
And 
Righteousness Leads To Our Restoration
And 
The Glorious Day Of Reward 
When Our Lord Shall Come! 

Our End Is Our Choice!
Choose To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Wisely Choose 
To Eternally Live With Jesus Christ In His Glory! 
Abundant And Glorious Blessings Await His Saints!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Secret Place And Safety Seal + PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For The Blessed Gift!

Here's A Thought:

Communion Is An Intimacy

And

If You're Communing With The Lord

You're Not Communing With Satan!

To Commune With The Lord

Is
To Live In Safety!

Let's Extract Knowledge:

1. The Most High ... The Almighty

Our Ever-Loving, Ever-Living God 
Is 
Most High!

He Is Above Us!

There Is Nothing That He Cannot Do 

Because 

He Is The One Almighty!

The Most High Almighty God

Casts A Shadow!

Shade From Heat 
Is 
Found Under The Shadow! 

Rest Is Found In The Shade! 

2. He ... Man, Woman, Child

If Man Dwells Other Than In

The Secret Place Of The Most High

It Means That He Abides In A Place

A Circumstance 

A Situation

This Is Not Under The Care Or Shadow
The Shade Of The Almighty God

And 
He Is, Therefore

Operating Under A Power 
That Is Decidedly Inferior, Inept
And
Inappropriate For His Needs!

If Your Communing With The Lord Is Sporadic

Your Shade Is Sporadic

And

That Obviously Means That 
Your Protection Is Sporadic

Your Safety Is Compromised

And

God Forbid

You Will Ultimately Find That

You Are Not One Of His Children!

If, And, And No But's ...

If Almighty God 
Is 
Your Lord 
Follow Him Faithfully!

If The Shadow Of The Lord 
Is 
Your Abiding Place
Make Your Permanent Dwelling There!

If The Secret Place Of The Most High 
Is 
Safe 
Remain There Hidden!

The Lord Is Light 

And Yet

He Casts A Protective Shadow!

The Lord Is Our ... My ... Light

And

Our ... My ... Salvation!

The Lord 
Is 
The Strength Of Our Lives:

Of Whom Should We Be Afraid!?!

You Plus The Living God

Make The Majority!

The Lord Is Our Refuge ... And Strength

A Very Present Help

In Time Of Trouble
And 

Our Help Comes From The Lord

Who Made ... Heaven And Earth!

The Lord Is Thy Shade

At Thy Leading Edge -

Thy Right Hand!

The Lord Shall Preserve Thy Soul!

You, A Saint Of God, May Die: Big Deal!

The Lord Raises The Righteous Dead

To Everlasting Life!

It Is The Lord, The Most High

The Almighty God

Who Causes Us To Rest In Safety!

No Parable ...

Anything Outside Of The Light And Shadow Of 
The Living God

Is

Either Unsafe

Or Dangerous!

Why, Then, Would You Dwell Other Than

Under The Purview

The Influence

The Protection

The Provision Of Almighty God!?!

The Reasons Are Plain:

Sin!

Satan!

Self!

Savior: Unknown!

The Lord Is The Shepherd!
Follow Him
Because
Wherever He Is, Is Shelter!

The Boundless Heavens 
Declare The Glory Of The Most High God:

Shouldn't You!?!

Sing Praises To God!

Sing Praises!

Though Waxing Old Like A Garment
Earth Still Triumphantly Shows Forth His Handiwork!

You, Me, We Are The Workmanship Of God In Christ!

Shouldn't We Be Telling The Good News!?!

Isn't It Time For Us, In God's Secret Place, To Hide

From The Heat Of Sin

From The Raging Lion

From The Piercing Serpent

From The Quick Sand Of Selfishness!?!

God Restores!

Isn't It Time To Seek The Savior

The Shepherd

The Free Salvation

The Good Seal!?!

Everlasting Life

With The Lord Christ

Is Reserved For Those

Who Bear The Seal Of

The Living God

In Their Foreheads!

Isn't It Time To Acknowledge

Accept

Appreciate

And

Approach

Our El Shaddai

Our All-Sufficient
Most High Almighty Eternal Loving Giving Saving God

And

Abide For The Long, Hot, Night ... Of Sin

In The Cool, Comfortable, Comforting, All-Encompassing, Shadow

In The Protective Shade

Of Him Who Is

And

Ever Shall Be

The Word ... That Cannot Fail

The Rock ... That Cannot Be Broken

The Refuge ... That Cannot Be Breached

The Food ... That Is Abundant And Free

The Water ... That Is Sweet And Cleansing

The Oil ... That Anoints, Soothes And Heals

The Home ... That Is Eternal, Happy And Safe

The Help ... That Is Available, Accessible, Salvation

The Salvation ... That Is Sure And Secure!?!

Isn't It Time To Sing:

Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us!

You Are Mercy: Please Receive Us! 

You Have Called Us:

Thine We Are!?! 

Workers Get Paid ...

Relationships ... Lasting Relationships

Are Built On Constant

- Not Hit Or Miss - 

Communion

Communication

Commiseration

Caring Association 

And

Credible, Ceaseless, Contact

Born Of Enduring Commitment

And

Unfailing Love That Freely Chooses

Bilaterally

Never To Let Each Other Go!

Love ... Which Cannot Die

Lifts Us Up!

Grace ... Unfailing

Satisfies!

Mercy ... Free Mercy

Is

Freely Available

And

Covers Me And Thee!

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

I Love You

And

I Thank You For Your Offering

Your Blessed Gift

Of

Your Canopy Of Sure Shade! 

Thank You For Your Sacrifice 

That Welcomes Me Into The Peaceful Glade! 

I Have Nothing Of Value To Offer You

For Your Known-Protective

Sheltering, Healing, Provident Embrace

Save My Sinful Soul ... Now Made Repentant

By Your Gifts Of Grace

Forgiveness And Faith

Which Have Me Daily Striving For Love

In Obedience

- With Holy Boldness -

To Gain The Prepared-For-Me

In-The-Heavenly-Home Place! 

May My Faith Grow!

May My Love Show!

May My Adversary Know

That You Are Mine

My Abiding Place

And That I Am Yours

Cleansed From Disgrace

And

At The Appointed Time

I Shall Be As You Are 

And

Shall Shine In Your Glory's Glow! 

Until That Day When Glory Shall Roll

Please Help Me Always

Against The Gates Of Hell

Sin, Self and Satan

To Strike Most-Telling Blows! 

I Rejoice In You, Oh, Lord

And

I Trust You With My Whole Heart

For You Are My God

And

I, With Humility

Honor, Praise, And Worship You! 

Please Accept My Prayer Of Faith

For I Ask All In The Blessed Name

Which Is Above All Other Names! 

I Plead My Cause In The Name Of The Beloved

The Lord Christ Jesus! 

AMEN! 

HAPPY SABBATH + THE EVERY-MAN TEST: The Law Of The Eternal God

The Law Of The Eternal God

Is 
Eternal Just As He Is!

The Law ... A Living Transcript Of 
The Eternal God's Holy Character

Is 
A Clean Mirror For Mankind

But

The Mirror Doesn't Save Man

Because 
All It Does Is On Man's Sin

Starkly, Brightly, Boldly, Shine!

The Law Of The Eternal God

Is Man's Safety Net!

Man Cannot Take The Law Of God In Hand

And

Say To Himself:

"I Apprehend You: I Am Clean!"

Because

He Will Be Fooling Himself

And

His Soul Will Be Just As Dirty

And

His Living Condition Will Still Be Unclean!

The Law Of The Eternal God

Tells You What Is Sin!

The Law Of Almighty God
The Transcript Of The Living God's Character

The Mirror For Seeing The Stain On One's Life

Is

Mankind's Disclosing Agent

Showing To Man How... From His Maker

His Heart ... His Life Has Been Rent

And

If Man Is A Diligent Doer

And

Not Just A Hypocritical-Hearer Of The Word Of Truth

He Will Aggressively Seek After His Maker

By Whose Sacrifice ... For His Personal Sin

Man Is Pardoned

Justified 
And

Made Clean!

Jesus Christ's Forgiveness Heals!

Brethren, Beloved 

Please Take A Careful Note:

Neither The Law ... The Mirror
Nor The Creator ... The Pardoner ... The Forgiver

Can Do Anything At All For Us Unless ... Until

We Come To The Stark Realization

And 
Make The Truth-Telling Admission:

Confession Of Known Sin To The Living God

Is 

Good For Every Single Human Soul! 
Repentance Removes From Us The Devil's Fetters!

The Fact Is ...

We Should Not Be Offended To Be Called Sinners 

Because

By The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God

That Is What We Are: Admit It! 

No Human Is Safe

Disregarding The Law Of God!

Let's Get Real

And

Get To Stepping To The Throne Of Grace 
Confessing And Repenting 

For Sinning Against The Holy God 
So That He Will Forgive Us 

And 

Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!

When You Do Away With

The Law Of God

You Do Away With

Almighty God

Because

Almighty God And His Law

- His Character -

Are The Same! 

Satan Is Walking And Stalking ...

Arrogant Pride Goes Before The Fatal Fall

So Don't Be A Mouth-Giant
And
Be Proud And Foolish Like Satan! 

Dare To Be Humble

And 

Repent Like King David

And 

Be Blessed To Be Called 
An Obedient And Faithful Child 
After Almighty God's Own Heart! 

Satan Rabidly Desires

Your Disobedience

And

Your Damnation!

Dare ... By Working, Enduring, Faith 
In The Sure And Secure Given Promise

To Be Bold 

And

Aggressively Take Firm Hold Of 
Almighty God's Grace: It Is Always Free! 

There Is No Need That You Have

Which Almighty God's Grace

Cannot Supply!

Dare To Embrace The Holy God

Whose Sacrificial Love Envelopes Me And Thee

And

Is Ever, Always, Given Abundantly Freely!

Free Grace And Undying Love

Mark The Path To Holy Heaven

Where All Is Peace

And Joy And Love! 

Beloved,
Again, I Urge Us All To Lighten Life's Burdensome Load
By All Known Sin Confessing And Repenting!

Please Rid Yourself Of Unnecessary Stress!

With Our Holy God, Beloved

Make The Lasting Peace! 

Believe The Living Word!
Bow To The Majesty In True Humility
Reach For The Hand Of Hope And Help
Practice Willing Obedience
Plead For Working, Enduring, Faith
And 
Know That You Will Be Eternally Blessed! 
Choose To Pass The Every-Man Test!

Follow Jesus Christ Faithfully

For The Eternal-Life Win!

Get Your Purchased Victory Over Sin:

It's Still Free Today!

Today

Is

The Day Of Salvation!

MARKED: All Outcasts Are Welcome In His House!

I Am A Sinner ... Marked For Death

And The Only Way Of Escape

Is

To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin

And Take The Love Of Christ Jesus

Into My Trembling Heart

And

By Him Be Blessed!

I Could Be Presumptuous And Arrogantly Foolish ... If I Wanted To! 

I Can Choose To Dare The Lord!

I Can Choose To Persist In Walking With The Prince Of Darkness 

And

Also Wittingly Choose To Receive Of His Promised Reward

But

I Am Convinced Of The Need For Righteousness! 

I Am Convicted Of My Known

And Dearly Held Inherited And Cultivated Tendencies And Sins

And

Because I Finally See And Recognize My Need

I Choose To Humble Myself

And 
Not Walk Fearlessly 
On The Broken, Rotted, Branch That Is Sin

Condemned Sin In The Flesh!

I Desire The Win

That Sees Me Gaining Victory Over Sin!

I Desire The Gold Crown

That Says I Am Not Under The Righteous Judge's Frown!

I Desire The New Name

That Says That Christ's Righteousness Is Mine

And

I Have A Successful Claim

And

I Desire Immortality And Incorruptibility

That Says That Jesus Christ Saves

And

I, His Child

Have No Stain Of Which To Be Ashamed!

I Bear The Name!

I Am Christian ... By Name And By Nature!

I Carry My Father's Great Name With Humility

And

I Am Bound For Hill Zion

Where The Family Will Sing Praise

Offer Willing Worship

And

Glorify That Amazing Name ... Jesus Christ

The King ... The Lord

Who Died For The Sin That Wasn't His

To Give Us The Glorious Life That Isn't Ours!

Thank You, Dear Jesus

For The Infinite Gift Of Love

That Is Now Mine

That Is Now Ours!

Shouldn't We All Say:

"Take My Hand, Lord!?!

Brethren, 

Please Think On This:

Even By Worldly Standards
Sinner's Are "Marked," Hungry, And Thirsty! 
We Have All Sinned Against And Forsaken The Lord
And
We Need To Get Back To The Basics!
We Need To Return Home To Our Loving, Gracious, Father!

The Samaritan Woman At The Well Was A Notable Sinner

And

An Outcast ... Twice! 

As A Samaritan

She Was Despised By The Jewish Brethren

And

To Her Samaritan Brethren 

She Was A House-Wrecker: 
She'd Had Five Husbands Which Were Not Her Own! 

She Had A Great Need! 

Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life

The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith
Offered Her His Gift Of Water ... His Eternal Life

And 

He Offers Us The Same, Too! 

Jesus Christ ... Touched By The Feeling Of Our Infirmities

Looks Beyond Our Condition 

And 

Offers To Us A Place 

At His Position As King Of Glory, Giver Of Grace! 

You, Personally

Are Valuable And Loved, Desired, By Lord! 
Please Accept His Free Gift Of Salvation!
He Is Calling You Home!
Say "Yes!" And Be Blessed!

I Say "Yes!" To Everlasting Life! 

And I Thank God For His Grace And Mercy!

His Grace And Mercy Are Infinitely Great Towards Us! 

We Are Blessed So Let Us Never Forget It! 

The Message Is So Very Clear! 

People Need To Take Heed! 

We Need To Pray For Them To Truly Hear

And

Explicitly Heed That Still And Sweet Small Voice

Instead Of Running After The Loud And Aggressively Obnoxious Voices

Who Are Card-Carrying Members Of The NATO Alliance

Aka No Action Talk Only Alliance

Currently Known To Be Naturally Bad For The Seeking Sinner's Soul!

Thank Almighty God That 
Our Jesus Christ Can Do And Does

Exactly What He Says He Will Do For Us

Who Take Him At His Living, Known-Holy, Word! 

AMEN!!!
