HAPPY SABBATH + Fools Rush In!?!

There Is Nothing More Foolish Than 
Providing An Answer To The Unasked Question! 

In The Old Days 
They Used To Call People Who Did That
"A Real Cubbah!" 

I Remember That

And It Was A Stinging Indictment! 

Please, I Beseech You
Don't Practice Folly To Look Wise! 

Only Fools Go Where Angels Fear To Tread! 

Some People May Think That You're A Fool 

But 

Please Don't Give Them The Opportunity 
To Prove It By Opening Your Mouth 
Prematurely And Presumptuously! 

My Granny-Ma U-sed To Say:

"Silence Is Golden! 

Speak When You're Spoken To 

But Only After Having Prayed 
For Wisdom From The Lord!" 

Those Are Words Truly Worthy Of 
Willing Acceptance And Regular Practice
But

I'm Sure That You Know That 
Some People Always Want To Have The First 

And 
The Last Word

And 
Having More Testicular Fortitude Than Commonsense
Are Ever Desirous Of Shedding Light ... Even In Bright Daylight 

And 
Avidly Display Grand "Insight"

When Exercising Commonsense Would Make Practical Sense! 

These Persons Would Do Well To Follow 
Jesus Christ's Perfect Example Of Reticence
- In The Time Required -

Before The Deceitful Scribes And Pharisees

The Sanhedrin

Pontius Pilate

And

King Herod! 

We Would All Do Well To Accept That
There Is A Time For Everything Under The Sun
And
Understand That 
Knowing The Time To Keep Silent Is One Of Them!

Now, I'm Also Certain That You Know That

Certain People Amongst Us

Claim To Always Have The Perfect Answer 
To Questions That Haven't Received Air! 

Oh, Yes! 

And They're Getting Real Bold Nowadays! 

Yeah! 

They're Even In The Church

And Are Claiming Special Powers

From The Holy Spirit To Read People's Minds! 

Brethren, 

Be Warned! 

Be Watchful! 

Be Wary

And

Beware! 

The Ability To Read Minds Aka Mind-Reading 

Is 

Safely In The Domain Of Almighty God ... Alone 

And 

Any Created Being 

Be It Human 
Or Fallen Angel Masquerading As A Human

Who Says That They Can Read Your Mind 

And 

Know What You're Going To Do Before You Do It 

Is 

A Liar And A Tool Of Satan!

There Is No Light In Them! 

If Satan And Fallen Angels

Aka Demons

Could Really Read Minds

They Would Have Known That
Killing Jesus Christ Was A Really Bad Idea

Because

The End Result Spelt Their Complete Destruction! 

I Hear That!!! 

Brethren, Beloved

Guard Your Heart ... Your Mind

And 

Keep Your Eyes On Jesus Christ 

Who Safely Leads His Children 
 Along The Treacherous Paths Of This Life

And

Don't Ever Forget That
We Have All The Other Sight That We Will Ever Need
In The Person 
And 
The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who Will Teach Us All Things That We Need To Know!

We Are Nearing Home
And
There Are Pitfalls At Every Turn

But

Please Don't Add To Your Peril

By Adding Folly To The Mix! 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation
Because 
There Will Be No Fools In Heaven! 

Let's Trust In Jesus Christ For He Is Our Peace
And

Let's Lean On The Lord's Infinite Understanding 
And 
Truly Live
For He Is The Light Of Our Lives!! 

PRAYER: I Won't Complain, Dear Father!

Father,

I Love You!

I Need You To Survive

And

I Am Not Even Going To Try To Survive

Without You By My Side!

You Are My Father

My Savior

My God

My Lord

And

I Choose To Stand Up For My Jesus

Who Will Carry Me To Your House

To The Promised, Heavenly, Reward!

Why Should I Be Discouraged

With Life And Its Vagaries

When Troubles Come A-Knocking

And

Problems Multiply Like Fleas

When I Have Your Glorious Hand

Giving Help

Providing Healing

Drawing A Tapestry Of Love, Joy

Truth, Peace And Blessing

Giving Me  Reason To Hope And To Cope!?!

Father, 

You Know That I Am Human

A Child Of Love

Made Of Dust

Given Your Holy Breath Of Life

A Sinner

Weak

Needing Your Love, Grace And Mercy

Each And Every Day

So

I Will Not Stand Up

On The Pillar Of My Natural Weakness

Using It As A Cheap Excuse For Sin!

I Choose, Dear Father

With Your Richest Blessings

To Walk, In Faith, For Love

With Him Who Strengthens Me

With Him Through Whom I Can Do

All Things That Are Good, True, Noble 

Honorable, Lovely, Right

So That I Will Your Holy Heart

Please And Truly Delight!

Father, 

I Could Murmur And Complain!

I Could Cuss Up A Storm And Be Profane!

I Could Sell My Birth-Right To Eat Red Beans 

Which Come Out In The Draught!

I Could Walk Wild And Willful

Deliberately Negotiating Satan's Damnable Path

And

I Could Give Up On Your Promises

But

In The Blessed Name Of My Jesus

I Can't Because I Believe You At Your Word!

I Trust You!

I Trust The Promises Made!

I Feel The Blessings Poured Out!

I Daily Receive The Day's Gift Of Workable Faith

And

I Am Enfolded In Your Mercy

And

Ministered To By Your Grace

And

Comforted, Taught, Guided And Chided

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Protected And Influenced By Your Holy Angels

And

Bathed In Your Love Divine!

I Have Every Reason To Sing Your Praise!

You Know My Name! 

You Made My Frame! 

You Hear My Cry!

I Know You Love Me, Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally

And

You Know From My Heart That I Desire You! 

Please Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Please Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

Whether I Can See Or Feel You! 

Please Help Me Live Faithfully On The Living Word

The Bread Of Life

And 

To Walk With Endurance

To Watch With Diligence

To Wait With Patience

To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation

Unto The Day Of Redemption

Or While This Short Life Shall Last! 

Lord, 

I Am Your Child: Feed Me! 

I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus: Teach Me! 

I Am Your Servant: Commission Me! 

I Am Willing To Work

So Please Bless Me To Obey!

Please, Dear Father

Equip Me To Serve

And

Strengthen Me To Perform

Enlivening My Mind

And

Granting Me Wisdom And Understanding

So That The Knowledge Which I Acquire

Will Bless Me

And

Bless Me To Bless Others

To Come To Know And Love My Lord Christ

Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!

Thank You, Father

For The Call To Life!

Thank You For The Infinite Sacrifice!

Thank You For Your Blessings Each And Every Day

And

Thank You For Hearing And Answering 

Faith-Filled, Humble, Heartfelt, Prayers

Offered Up In The Name Of The Lovely Jesus! 

Grant Unto Your People The Blessed Perfect Peace

And 

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

Wait On The Lord Christ!

Waiting 
Is Not
Something At Which Impatient
Known-Selfish Humans Excel! 

The Heart Wants What It Wants When It Wants It 

But

Waiting On The Lord 

Is 

A Necessity In The Christian Economy 

If 

We Will See Jesus Christ ... In Perfect Peace! 

Waiting On The Lord
Is Not 
Laziness

Nor Does It Mean Doing Nothing! 

Waiting 
Is 
Our Time Of Preparation! 

When You Wait Upon The Lord

He Inclines His Heart To You

Calls You To Himself

And Hears Your Cry:

He Provides For You

According To His Will

And

Always For Your Blessing!

Waiting Requires Patience 

And 

We Must Permit Patience To Do Her Perfect Work 

So That We Will Lack Nothing 
In The Great Day Of Small Things! 

They That Wait Upon The Lord

Will Renew Their Strength!

A Man Can't Past A Test Without Waiting

As In Study, Practice, Rinse And Repeat! 

I Tried To Pass A Test Without Studying! 

Let's Just Say It Did Not Go Well! 

We Must Follow The Lord's Instructions, People! 

What Is Happening ... What Is Ahead For Us

Is Not 
For Some Earthly Prize Or Passing Grade! 

We Are In The Battle Of The Ages
- Between Good And Evil
Light And Darkness
And Truth And Error -

With The Coveted Prize Being The Real Crown ... Of Glory

And

No Willfully-Disobedient, Rough-Edged
Own-Way, Stony-Hearted, Presumptuous, Sinner

Will Ever Gain One! 

Victory Over Sin And Self

Comes Through Willing Obedience

To The Way Of The Eternal God!

You Got That Right! 

Precious Stones ... In The Rough

Are Not Beautiful Beautiful 

Until 

They Are Cut, Shaped, Refined, Smoothed, Polished 

And 

Set In Position 

According To The Stated Purpose! 

Precious Stones Are Tested

For Perfection! 

You, Personally

Are Marked To Be A Jewel In The Savior's Crown! 

Accept Your Day Of Waiting In The King's Workshop 

And 

Know That Your Day For Unveiling Will Be Grand And Glorious! 

Watch, Work
And 
Wisely Wait Upon Our Lord Christ!
His Actions Cannot Fail
Nor Should They Frighten Us!

Jesus Christ Loves You

With An Everlasting Love! 

Waiting On The Lord Is Not Wasting Time! 

He Knows When To Show Up And Show Off! 

Our Waiting Time 

Is 

Preparation Time 

And 

The On-Time God 

Is 

Going To Give The Performance Of The Ages That 

Will Never Be Repeated

And

I Intend ... By His Great Grace

And 

Loving Mercy For Me
- Tried, Purified And With The Character Change In Place 
That Is The Requirement For The To-Heaven Rising Up -

To Be Among The Faithful Few! 

To God Be Glory For The Things He Has Done

Is Doing And Will Do 

For Us Who Are Willing To Be Remade In His Image! 

Brethren, 

Being In The Refiner's Fire

On The Grinding Stones

Or In A Crucible

Is

A Pleasant Experience! 

It Ain't Pleasant But It's Necessary! 

With The Necessity Of The Experience Always In Mind

Please Keep Your Faith Forward

And

Work Your Faith For All It's Worth

And 

I'm Certain That We'll Definitely Meet 
In The Beautiful City Of Living Light
On The Appointed Day!! 

The King Is Coming!

Get Washed

And Get Ready!

From Your Lips To The Blessing God's Listening Ears 
And Ever-Compassionate Heart! 

Beloved,

Please Remember What Sister Lynn Said:
Patience Rewards The Patient!
I Pray The Lord's Peace And Protection Be Upon Us All!

AMEN! 

Liar!

The Liar:

One Who Is Willfully Living Illiterately Against Righteousness!

Liar, Bruddah Liar

His Pants Are Afire

Because

He Pleasurably Speaks Falsehoods And Fabrications
And
Loves To Start Riots
And
For These Reason 

His House Is As A Known-Burning Truck Tire! 

We Can Survive The Marauding Ways Of 
Those Who Steal Our Personal Possessions 

But 

Very Few Indeed Survive Or Prosper 

After Being Visited With The Ungodly Utterances Of 

The Red Rag Encased In Lying Lips! 

Lies Are Like Bullets, Knives And Poison 
And 

Like Its Lethal Counterparts
Lies Kill Just As Dead! 

Lying Lips Kill Hopes And Dreams
Destroy Homes, Communities, Churches And Nations

And 

A Lie Started War In Heaven!

A Lie Told On Earth In Eden's Pristine Garden

Paved The Road For Man To Enter Hell!
Buying A Lie Is Very Often Not A Hard Sell! 

A Lie By Satan, The Father Of Lies
Destroyed The Mortal Life Our Lord Jesus

But

The Living Word Of The Word Of God

Who Is The Truth 

The Son Of God

Jesus Christ The Lord

Rinsed The Liar Out

And

The Truth Stands Today

Mightily Showing The Way To Life

To All Those Who In Love For The Truth

Do Gladly, Righteously, Delight! 
The Truth Is The Heavenly Light!

Our Father In Heaven
Our Almighty God 
Despises, Abhors, Hates Lies 
And 
Calls The Lie, Abomination

And 

He Has Made It Clear That No One Aka The Liar 

Who Loves Lying

And 

Practices Lying 

Has Any Portion ... Ever

In His Living Kingdom! 

Lies Destroy The Victim 

And 

Lies Destroy The Liar

So For True Peace
And
Real Prosperity

For Hope, Help 
And 
Sure Salvation

Speak Truth In Love, For Love

And 

Be Righteous
And
Into His Holy Presence
Our Beloved Father Will Surely Welcome Us!

Don't Let The Love Of The Lie
Turn You In A Lying Loser!
Confess Of Known Sin ... The Love Of The Lie
And
Repent To The Father
Bowing The Knee Before The Lord Christ
And
Know Of A Surety
That When He Shall Come Again
With Him To Highest Heaven
You Will Indeed Fly!
With Confidence ... With Finality
See To It That That Lying Serpent, Satan
You Aggressively Deny!

The Truth

Is

The Christian's Sharp Sword!

Kindness Doesn't Cost Anything!

I Have Never In All My Born Days
Heard Of Anything So Selfish And Unkind And Cruel
Or Known Of Anyone 
Who Could Have Been So Proud On Top Of It!

Satan!

Can You Imagine A Person Boiling 24 Eggs
Having Several Children Around Them Begging For Just One
And 
The Person Saying: "These Are Mine!"
Refusing To Share
Eating Only Two Of The Eggs
And 
Then Maliciously Throwing The Other 22 Eggs To The Pigs
Before They Would Feed The Hungry People!?!

Satan!

Old Elise Told Us That She Wickedly Did That
When She Was A Young Girl!

We Know That She Repented Of Her Pride And Her Folly
But She Had Ample Opportunity 
To Eat The Bread The Very Devil Kneaded 
Before She Died!
She Came To Know The Feel Of Unkindness
And To Experience The Taste Of Hunger!

Almighty God Doesn't Like Ugly
And Comeuppance Has A Nasty Way Of
Biting The Ugly Heart When It Least Expects It
Or Is Able To Handle It!

Repentance Does Not Negate Consequence For Sin
So We Need To Think Before We Do ... Foolishness!

We Would All Do Well To Remember That 
When We Act In Haste
We Will Always Have The Opportunity 
To Repent In A Leisurely Fashion!

Listen To This ...

He Who Sows, Reaps! 

He Who Gives, Gets! 

He Who Blesses In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 

Is 

Blessed By Jesus Christ Himself! 

Those Who Are So Selfish

Not Even Willing To Give Away 
A "Good" Cold Or A Bad Idea

And 

Choosing To Demand Payment 
For Whatever Departs Their Pocket, Purse Or Premises 

Will Inevitably Have To Buy All That They Need! 
Sells All Buys All!

Know The Right ...

There Is No Profit In Selfishness

And 

There Is No Loss Experienced 
By Those Who Freely Give Of What 
They Have Freely Received 
From The Generous Hand Of The Eternal God 

Who Is Ever Faithful, Blessing, Giving, And Good! 

In The Name Of The Only One Holy

Willingly Give

And 

By Almighty God's Preserved Word Of Promise

It Will Come Back To You ... With Profit! 
Believe The Living Word 
And 
Do Right
Because
It Is Guaranteed That You Will Be Blessed! 

Remember,
Jesus Christ Gave His All
- His Very Life's Blood -
For You, Me, Us All!
All That We Are Being Asked ... Encouraged To Do
Is
To Willingly Give Up A Lil' Bit Of What We Have
Which Will Certainly Come Back To Us Again!
The Living God Does Not Lie!

 Man Cannot

Recapture The Lost Opportunity

Recall The Unkind Word

Recast The Cruel Deed

Or

Repay The Goodness Of Almighty God

But

We Can ... By His Great Grace

Relieve A Soul's Daily Burden

By Willing Giving

Sharing

Commiserating

And

Caring!

Don't Tremble

There's No Reason To Tremble In Ungodly Fear 
When Those Who Know Not The Lord Of Life
 And
His Mighty, Saving, Power 
Lift Up Wicked Hands 
And 
The Thundering Voice Of Condemnation Against You 
Because 
You Choose To Honor The True And Living Holy God
By Willing Obedience
And
Faithful, Loving, Reasonable, Service! 

There's No Reason To Tremble 
When You Are Physically, Mentally
Spiritually And Emotionally Powerless 
And 
Weak 
Because 
You Are The Well-Beloved Child Of The Great King 
Living On Holy Love 
Exercised By Him
And 
Realized ... By You, Me, Us! 

Dear Child Of Holy Faith,

The Love Of Almighty God

Will Not Let You Go!

Choose To Boldly Exercise Holy Faith 
Gifted To You Daily For The Day
And 
In The Hope, The Assurance, Of Holy Help
Granted At The Throne Of Grace
By Your Bold Appearance And Petition
Decide Not To Wallow In Self-Pity! 

The Father

- Our Father -

Has Pitying Love For You!

Our God Is Real And Accessible
And
Kind And Faithful And True
And 
He Keeps His Promises! 
Look At Him And Not Your Need: Trust His Heart!
You Are Walking In The Light Of Life
And
He, It Is, Who Will See You Through The Carnal Strife! 

Our God ... The Creator God
The Sustainer God
The Provider God
The Redeemer God
The Blessing God ... Of Grace Sufficient
And
Mercy Free
Doesn't Sleep
Doesn't Own Pyjamas
Doesn't Have Step-Children
Grand-Children
God-Children
Or Bastard Children
Doesn't Go On Vacation
Doesn't Wear Ear-Plugs
And
Does Not Wear Dark-Glasses!
Call Him Today!
Your Faithfulness And Obedience
Bears Aloft To Him Your Humble Prayers!

The Eyes Of The Lord

Are Upon The Righteous!

The Ears Of The Lord

Are Open To Your Cry!

Remember,
It Is For You, Personally ... Sacrificially
That He Lovingly Cares!

Be Strong In The Lord!

Jesus Christ Saves!
