POWER, MERCY, AND ACCOUNTING: The Mind Matters

Whatever I Willfully Let Into My Mind

Will Eventually Exit Through My Mouth

And

Though I Know That I'm Walking Up North

I'll Eventually End Up Going Down South!

We Are What We Eat!

We Get Fleas From Where We Sleep!

We Scratch The Itch That Satisfies

And

By Indulging Disobedience 

We Embrace The Devil That Feeds Us Convenient Lies!

Oh, How Easy It Is To Get On The Slippery Slope

When One Refuses Christ's Offer Of Eternal Marriage

And 

Chooses With The Devil ... For Thrills ... To Elope

To Run Under The Radar

To Kiss The Frog That Burps Lies

To Rest In The Coil Of The Serpent Blindly

Not Recognizing That Therein

We Shall Surely Die

And All Because

To Bright And Illuminating Truth

We, Resisting, Arrogantly Close Our Sin-Sickened Eyes!

A Tiny Spark Starts A Roaring Fire

And

Unclean Food Causes Physical And Spiritual Health

Soon To Expire!

Guard Your Heart ... Your Mind

For Out Of It Are The Issues That Affect Your Life!

The Lord Jesus Already Paid Cash 

For Your Ticket Home To The Father's House
So Do Not Permit Anyone ... Flesh Or Lying Spirit 

To Stop You From Getting On Board The Olde Ship Of Zion 

Or 

Having Boarded

Cause You To Get Frustrated And Disembark 

Because Of 

Fleshly Concerns 
Or Apparent So-Called Unforeseen Circumstances! 

What Jesus Christ Starts, Jesus Christ Finishes

And

All Who Exercise Faith 

And 

Enduring Commitment To The Cause Of Christ 

Shall Arrive Safely At The Forever Home! 

Hold On! 

Think About It:

We Hear With Our Ears! 

We Believe With Our Hearts! 
We Exercise Our Will To Act

And 

We Utilize Our Daily Gift Of Daily Faith From Our Lord Jesus 

To Trust Him At His Holy Word! 

The Lord Is Mercy 

And 

He Is Merciful To Us! 

The Lord Is Power, Might, And Majesty: 

He Does Not Need To Be Powerful 

As There Is No Power Outside Of Him! 

The Lord ... In Mercy

Exercises His Power ... With Restraint Towards Us 

Else We Would All Perish: 

That Is Soon Coming To An End! 

Let Us, Therefore

Consider To Whom We Have To Give An Accounting 

For The Days Of Our Lives

And 

Let Us Recognize That 
There Is Nothing That Can Be Hidden From His Eyes

And 

Tremble In Awe

And 

Walk Humbly Before Him 

Who Has Our Mortal And Finite Lives 
In His Eternal And Infinite Hands! 

Beloved, 

Walk Softly Before The Lord: 
He Is Here
And 
He Is Near ... To You! 

Remember The Power In The Blood: 
Jesus Christ Loves You 

And 

Desires Your Presence In The Father's House

So Fall On His Mercy 

And 

Be Forever Blessed! 
Confess And Repent Your Every Sin
And
Lay Down Your Burdens, Your Sorrows!

In Jesus Christ

Is

Our Perfect Peace!

Our Refuge And Strength

The God Of All Grace

No Shadow Of Turning
No Instability!

The Constancy That Shields

The Savior Of All Mankind ... And You Personally! 

Trust Our Lord Christ
Take Refuge
And 
Be Eternally Blessed: You Have His Personal Invitation 
To Shelter Under His Wings!
Please Don't Forget ... Or Neglect 
To Prayerfully Cast Your Every Care 
On Him Who Is Your Very Own, Personal, Refuge! 
His Glory Awaits The Trusting, Faithful, Ones 
Whose Hope Rests In Him! 

Find Your Peace

In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

UNCLEAN LIPS AND MURKY MOTIVES: Walking Wise

Unclean Lips And Murky Motives

Are In The Hookup From Hell
Vindictively Constructed By Deadly Doings!

This Horrible Trio From Tormentor deDamned

Had It In For Enduring Faith

Blessed Rest

Truly Obedient

Walking Wise 

And 

Watchful Waiting!

You Wouldn't Believe The Reason For The Animus!

Walking Wise Had Gotten His Brethren

To See The Light Of Life

And

They Had All Decided To Be Clean

Since The Light Disclosed Their 
Then-Disgraceful Presentation

Which Reeked Of Putrifaction! 

They Had Known That They Had Stunk

But, Then

Everyone Around Them Stunk Up A Storm

So It Was NBD ... No Big Deal! 

Walking Wise Had Showed Up

And

Posited An About Face! 

He Looked ... Clean! 

He Smelled ... Fresh! 

He Talked ... Real Good And Righteously! 

He Walked ... Wisely

Which Was Real Different From Everybody Else

Who Were Wanderers

Who Walked Wildly

And

Willfully

Indulging Doubt And Disbelief

Sowing Discord

Gushing With Greed 

And

Preening With Pride Over ... Nothing! 

They All Had Big Balloons

And

Walking Wisely Was Like The Unwanted Sting Of The Wasp!

He Was The Pip Of The Pin That Pops The Bubble

That Kept One Insulated

Isolated

From Truth ... The Stability That Blesses

That Does The Hungering Soul Truly Delight! 

Neither The Horrible Trio 

Nor Tormento DeDamned Were Hungry
So Great Was Their Rage Against Walking Wise! 

They Were Fat And Happy

Lied And Liming

Corrupt And Corrupting Cast-Offs 
Who Were Carriers Of The Plague

The Disease Of Willful, Wanton
Life-Wasting Sin And Selfishness

And

Caustically Proud Of The Stinking Tripe That 
They Were Selling As Free Gifts! 

Their Regular Customers 
Gravely Made Their Purchases With 
Mad-At-Life, Angry-At-God, Playing-With-Fire Money
- Ignorant To The Truth That Cannot Fail -

And

Then Confidently Walked Wishfully To Their ... Graves!?! 

Walking Wisely Had Brought A Screeching Halt
To Their Deadly Trade
And
Business For Tormentor DeDamned Was Getting Spotty!
Hence, As I Said, The Animus!

Monopolies

Don't Appreciate

Competition!

Walking Wise Had Heard The Living Word!
Walking Wise Had Read The Saving Word!
Walking Wise Had Pondered The Love-Gift In His Heart
And
He Had Been Sincerely Moved
By Its Simplicity And Sincerity
And
Being Convinced Of Its Truth To Save 
And 
To Bless Himself And Others
Had Moved With Alacrity To Share It
With All Of His Brethren!

Please Prayerfully Ponder

Walking Wise's Words Of Wisdom:

Brethren,

Unclean Lips, Murky Motives
And
Deadly Doings 
All Maliciously Seek Your Eternal Ruin:
They All Work For Tormentor DeDamned Aka Satan!
His Movie Name Does Not Alter 
His Lake Of Fire-For-You End-Game!
Do Not Be Fooled By Their Wiles!

Now Hear The Right ...

Unlike Satan

- Who Does Not Have Any Manners -
Our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord
Is 
Truly Polite 
And 
Will Not Enter Your Premises, Your Life, Your Home
Without The Personal Invitation And Welcome! 

Jesus Christ Knocks! 
Jesus Christ Sounds His Voice So That You Know That 
It Is He, Himself
And 
He Waits For You To Say: 

"Lord, I Was Listening Out For You! 
I Am So Glad That You Are Here! 
Come In And Let's Talk And Have A Meal Together! 
Please Abide With Me Today ... And Forever! 
Dear Lord, I Really Need You!" 

All Of This Communication

Is Done Through Faith And Prayer!

Beloved, 

Please Remember Always That 
Jesus Christ Will Never Force You 
To Allow Him Entrance Into Your Life 
And
He Will Never Stay Where He Is Not Wanted! 

Your Free Will And Free Choice 
Is
Your Power For Or Against 
Both Jesus Christ ... Your Only Savior
And
Satan ... Your Known Accuser
Adversary And Rabid Enemy! 

Jesus Christ Won't Force You 
To Let Him Into Your Life 
And 
Satan Can't  Force You To Do So Either! 

You Have All The Power: Weight The Evidence In The Word 
And 
Choose Who Will Bless You ... Eternally! 

FYI: It Ain't Satan!

JESUS CHRIST KNOWS: The Blessing Of The Good Chair!

Eternal Knowledge:

Almighty God Is Going To Make Man

Man Is Going To Sin 

Man's Sin Is Going To Cause His Death

Man Is Going To Need Redemption From Death

Death Is The Last Enemy 

Almighty God The Son Is Going To Be Man's Substitute

Taking Man's Death

Man's Punishment

And

He Will Give Man His Life

His Eternal Life

Even Before Man Says

"I Know You Who You Are!"

Before Man Acknowledges His Own Sin

Before Man Confesses And Repents Of His Known Sin

Before Man Even Sins The Sin That Leads To Death

Purpose: 

Jesus Christ Will Die 
To Save Who Has Not Yet Been Created And Made

To Redeem Man ... Fallen Man

From The Death That Man Will Earn For His Own Sin

His Presumptuous Sin

Which He Will Commit After He Is Created And Made

Circumstance: 

Man Will Have An Adversary

Man Will Doubt His Creator

Man Will Knowingly Sin Against His Creator

Man Will Need Salvation

Man's Only Savior Will Be His Creator

Outcomes:

Man Was Created

Man Chose To Sin

Jesus Christ ... Man's Only Savior 

Man's Creator

Came To Earth

To Teach Man The Way To Live 

To Show Man His Sure And Secure Salvation

Some Of Mankind Believed

Most Of Mankind Doubted

Jesus Christ Died ... Was Murdered

Jesus Christ's Death And Burial

His Rest In The Grave 

His Resurrection From The Dead

His Walking Glorified Among Men

His Ascension Into The Heavenly Places

His Act Of Sacrifice Accepted By The Father

His Payment Of The Whole Bill For Fallen Man

His Interceding In The Most Holy Place For Fallen Man

And

The Promise To Return For Us 
Who Choose To Believe His Word

Is 
A Done, Whole-Package, Deal! 

Man, By Birth-Right, Has In Himself

Free-Will And Free-Choice

And

Freedom To Make The Decision
For Life 
Or
For Death

For Salvation
Or

For Damnation! 

Man Cannot Be Forced

To Agree With His Maker! 

Man Cannot Be Forced

To Agree With His Adversary! 

Man Is Free To Be ...! 

Jesus Christ

The Son Of God

The Son Of Man

Fully Flesh ... Perishable

Fully God ... Imperishable

Walked On Earth ... Knowing! 

Jesus Created Man ... Knowing

Jesus Christ Died For Fallen Man ... Knowing

Jesus Christ Got Up From Death ... Knowing

Jesus Christ Is Interceding For Man ... Knowing

Jesus Christ Is Coming Again ... Knowing

You May Well Ask 
What Does Jesus Christ Know!?! 

Jesus Christ Knows That 
Fallen Man Is A Clan Of Doubting, Gainsaying
Petty, Prideful, Presumptuous
Often Foolish, Disbelieving, Weak And Wayward, Ingrates

But

He Also Recognizes That 
They Are A Few Of Us Who 
Will Understand The Word
Will Follow The Holy Will

Will Confess Their Known-Sin

Will Repent Of The Surging Evil

And

Will Choose The Holy Way

His Way To Life

And

These Faithful Few

For Whom His Soul Did Successfully Travail

He Will See In Perfect Peace

And

He Will Be Satisfied! 

All Whom The Father Gave To Him

Will Come To Him!

Jesus Christ Knows That 
He Will Pay To Purchase All

But

Few Will Accept The Bill-Paid

Freedom-To-Live-Right Certificate Called Salvation! 

He Knows That If We Were Just One Person

- For Divine Love -

He Would Still Die

And

He Died For One

Aka Each Of Us ... Personally

Individually

Practically! 

The Knowing:
It Is Now Personal ...

I Was Lost In Sin! 

Jesus Christ Shows Me The Way To Salvation! 

I Believe His Word Is True ... The Truth! 

I Am Walking With

And

Faithfully Following Him ... Home

To My Heavenly Father's House Of Everlasting Love! 

I Do Not Walk On This Earth Alone! 

The Savior Of Man Is With Me
And

He Will Walk With You, Too! 
Ask ... And You Will Receive The Blessing!

Choose Jesus Christ

For

Eternal Life! 

Think On This Gift:

What A Wonderful Blessing: 

Grace, Mercy, Peace, Truth And Love 
Aka Unmerited Favor, Loving Kindness

Prosperity Within And Without

Stability

And 

Almighty God ... God Is Love

Be To You! 

These Five Attributes 

Form 

The Known-Solid, Durable, Stable Chair 

For The Child Of Almighty God To Sit Back On

And 

Rest Securely! 

You May Freely Invite Others To Share Your Chair! 

You May Plead With Others To Get To The Master Builder

- Jesus Christ The Lord - 

To Get Their Own Chair! 

The Pattern Is Original! 

The Build Is Unchangeable

And

The Life Expectancy Of All Who Own

And

Occupy The Chair

- Which Is The Gift Of The Eternal God -

Is 

Eternal! 

Be Aware, Though, That

There Is A Move By The Adversary Of Souls 

To Flood The Mortal Market 
With Knock-Offs Whose Legs Fall Off 

And 

Whose Back-Props Crumble 

Because 

They Are Created With The Alloy Called Self 

Which Is Propelled By The Damnable Accelerant Called 
Known-Sin! 

Don't Be Fooled! 

The Original Is Paid For ... For Each Of Us Willing

With The Blood Of The Lamb Of God

And 

Is Built From The Wood Of Calvary's Tree! 

The Lamb's Death Purchased The Wood! 

The Choice Is Yours:

Take The Free-To-You Chair The Lord Builds

Or

Purchase For Yourself The Chair That 
Atelier Pride And Willfulness Hawks! 

The Decision Is Final! 

Your Death Seals The Deal! 

Get Wisdom!
Get Understanding!
Walk Wisely
And
Take A Load Off: Sit Down And Rest On The Good Chair! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Joyously Disappoint The Devil!

Body Healthy

Spirit Pure

We Must Deny The Liar His Pleasures

If 
We Will Walk Through Heaven's Gate Door!

We Must Disappoint The Murderer Proud

And

We Must Be Bold And Loud!

We Must Stand Up For Truth And Righteousness 

And

We Must Not Indulge In Controversies Crude And Pointless!

We Are To Believe And Endure
Because

Jesus Christ, To Us, Is Health And Cure
And

We Are To Walk Wise
Watch And Ever Prayer

If 
We Are Not From The Straight Path To Stray!

We Are To Trust And Not Doubt!

We Have The Lord's Promise:

Do Not Cast It Out!

We Are To Tell The Good News

Indulging No Disputing With Those Who 
The Straight Truth Of The Eternal Word

Bluntly, Carelessly, Reject ... Refuse!

The Way Is Straight, Strait!

The Road Is Rough, Hard!

The Savior Who Walks With Us

Is 
Waiting For Us:

Brethren, Beloved

Our Savior Is The Son Of God

Prince Immanuel

The Ever-Living Good And Kind King!
He Is No God-Fraud!

Heavenly Rewards: Peace And Rest!

Heavenly Reward: No Sorrow On Your Chest!

Heavenly Reward: You Are By The King Of Love Blessed!

Look Up: Our Redemption Draws Near!

Look Up: Do Not Fear!

Look Up: Get Ready!

Prepare To Be Blessed!

Look Up And Walk On:

Your Firm Faith Will Permit You To Pass

The To-Eternal-Life Test!

In The Love Of The Lord Christ

Safely Protected, Rest! 

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD:

When Your Lord Is Your Creator 
And 
Your Creator Is Your Rock, Your Fortress
And 
Your Deliverer
You Have Every Reason To Give Him Thanks
And
Sing His Praises 
For Your Deliverance From All Your Enemies: 
Sin, Self, Satan
Death, Hell And The Cold Grave! 

Beloved, 

This Is Not The Time To Look At What Ails, What Assails! 
It Is Time To Look Up To Him 
Who Helps, Heals, Saves And Seals
To Him Who Has Prevailed Against 
The Enemy Of Our Souls, Satan
Who Encourages All To Indulge Doubt And Disbelief 
So That We Will Stand On Sinking Sand
Depart The Fortress
Deny Our Creator
And 
Lose Our Deliverance From Damning Darkness 
And 
Our Delivery To The Land Of The Kindly Light That 
Gives Eternal Life! 

Praise The Lord At All Times
Pray The Precious Promises 
And
By Willing Obedience
Live In Peace: Our Redemption 
Is 
Truly Drawing Near! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget:
Our Heavenly Father, For Each Of Us
Sacrificially, Personally, Privately
Intimately Cares! 
Pass The Word Along
And
In Him, Be Strong!

HAPPY SABBATH: Enemies, Endurance, And The Patience Process For Everlasting Peace

Sanctification

Is

A Patience Process 

The Work Done In One's Entire Life Time!

It Is Not A Giddy-Up Horsie!

It Is Day By Day

Moment By Moment

One Studied, Steady, Step At A Time!

Do Not Let Your Walk To Mount Zion Be Interrupted 

By All The Race Horses Giddily Zipping By!

You Are Walking In The Defined Steps Of Your Good Master

Whom You Intend To Meet ... Peacefully

In The Great And Glorious By And By!

The Battle
Is 
Not For The Swift Of Foot

Nor Is The Prize Given To Him Who Is Known Strong!

The Battle 
Is 
Won By The Faithful

The Good By God's Grace

The Enduring Servant Who
- As A Faithful Steward -

Is
Conscientiously, Confidently, Humbly, Obedient

Whether He Is Watched

Or Is Working To Give A Report

At The End Of His Day

The One Who Watches, Walks

And 
Works Wisely

The One Who Seeks Never

To His Master's Great Name

To Bring The Tarnish Of

Willful Sin's Besmirching Disgrace!

Watching ... Waiting

Working ... Walking

Willing Wise

No Lover Of Lies!

This Is The Servant Who Arrives Safely At The Gate

Because 

He Has Kept His Place

His Eye On The Prize

His Hand In The Hand

And

His Head Free From Lies

He Is The One Upon Whose Blessed Head

The Gold Crown Of Jesus Christ's Glory 

Shall
       Fitted To Perfection
                                     Eternally Lie!
He Did Not The Will Of His Father
Ever, Ever, Defy Or Deny! 

Brethren,

In This Age Where The "Illuminated" Response 
To Every Good Gift Of The Living, Holy, God 
Is 
Anti-God 
And 
Alternative To Known Goodness 
And 
The Promised Blessings
We Of The Household Of Faith Need To Stand Up 
And
Be Counted By Our Continuing Cooperation With Christ 
If 
It Is Our Heart's Desire 
To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Going Along With The Ways Of The World 
To Get-Along With The World 
For A Known-Temporary "Peaceful Existence" 
Makes One A Compromised Soul 
And
The Enemy Of Almighty God! 

Now, Just In Case You Don't Know 
How That Will End
Remember That Lucifer
The Most Glorious Of The Heavenly Angels
Became The Enemy Of God: 
His Choice Couldn't, And Didn't, Work Out 
And 
His New Name ... Satan
Marks Him As Adversary, Evil
Condemned 
And 
Damned ... For All Eternity! 

Please Choose Your Final Destination Wisely!
Please Choose Jesus Christ The Righteous One
And 
His Ever-Living, Always Loving, Goodness
And 
Eternal Life 
For The Truly Peaceful Existence! 
Please Trust The Living, Eternal, Holy God ... Of Grace
And 
With Deliberation
Pray ... And Obey ... Always!

In This World

We Shall Have Tribulation

But

Be Of Courage:

Jesus Christ Overcame The World

So That By His Example

We May Overcome The World, Too! 

Our Father Does, Indeed, Know Best!
Of All Known Sin ... Cultivated And Inherited
See To It That You Humbly Confess And Repent!
