To Will ... And To Do

We, Humans
- By Virtue Of Birth -
Have Been Blessed With Free Will 
And 
Freedom 
To Choose To Do The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! 

We May Use Our Will To Oppose The Lord 
Or ... Like King David
We Can Choose To Place Our Will
Our Desires, Hopes, Trust, Faith, Belief
Our Present 
And 
Our Future Into The Hands Of Almighty God
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who, Alone, Saves And Blesses! 

Beloved, 

When We Will AKA Give
Our Free Will Unto The God Whose Ways Are Perfect
And 
Choose In All Things To Rely Upon Him ... And His Love 
Even When We Can't See The Way Clear
We Can Rest In The Knowledge That This God
- Our Known-Faithful God -
Will Do All Things Well For Us! 

I Beseech Us All 
To Please Desire ... Will ... To Take The Lord At His Word 
And 
Willfully Choose To Think On Him As He Thinks On Us
Personally, Intimately, Individually
And 
Make Trusting Him 
And 
Calling Upon Him For Everything 
And 
Even Just To Say To Him: 
"Lord, I Love You! 
Please Draw Near!" 
Your Chosen Way To Live! 

The Lord's Love For Us Has No Limits 
So Please Do Not Limit His Ability To Work In Your Behalf 
By Neglecting To Walk According To His Sovereign Will That
Personally Guarantees You The Eternal Blessing! 

Boldly, Humbly, Give Your Will, Your Desire, To The Lord Jesus: 
Infinite Gifts Innumerable
Await All Of Us Whose Wills Are Surrendered To Him!

Remember ... 

All God's Gifts Are Personal!

Peace!

Man May Oppose God

But

God ... Almighty God ... Disposes

Because

His Holy Will Is Sovereign!

**--**--**--**--**

No Created Being

Can

Frustrate The Plans

Of

The Eternal God:

Satan

- That Damned Fallen Angel -

Desperately Tried!

Man Is Made

A Little Lower Than Angels:

Do The Math!

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER: Doing Wickedness!?!

... Enough Already!

If You Cannot Stand Up And Think
Then Down And Listen
And
Let's Put A Stop To This Nonsense Right Now!
We Are To Live Like Faithful Christians
So Let's Start Acting That Way!

A Wicked Character 
Is 
Nothing To Be Cherished ... Or Paraded Around 
As Though It Is A Badge Of Honor!

Doing Wicked Deeds Starts With A Thought 
Which Is Followed By The Act Which, Indulged
Leads To The Formation Of Character 
Which Ultimately Leads To One's Preferred
Chosen Destiny Aka Destination ... Hell! 

Wickedness 
Is 
An Abomination In The Sight Of God 
Because
Of Its Iniquitous, Its Planned, Origins
And 
Any Amongst Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Who Unrepentantly Raise That Serpent In Their Bosom
Is 
Personally Booking A Berth 
In The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire! 

Beloved, 

Let's Be Wise 
And 
Resist The Devil 
Because 
To Indulge In Doing Wickedness By His Temptations 
Makes Him Master And "God" 
And 
Leaves Us ... Jesus Christ's Purchased Property
Impervious To The Call Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who Is Calling Out To Us
To Lead Us Into The Truth ... The Saving Truth
That Will See Us Abiding With Lord Christ
Sharing His Great Glory
And
Having A Personal Place In The Father's House Of Light And Love!

Please Don't Be Deceived Into Thinking That
A Little Wickedness Ain't Never Hurt Nobody
Because
To Do So Will Be Willfully Countenancing 
A Gross Lie Of Our Bitter Adversary
That Raging Lion
That Piercing Serpent
That Lord Of The Dung Flies, Satan The Damned!

Brethren,

Please Understand That Indulging Wickedness 
Wastes The Work Done On Our Behalf On Calvary 
So Don't Cherish Thoughts That 
Will Lead You Into That Presumptuous Sin! 

Embrace The Living Word Known True And Faithful
And
By The Grace Of The Eternal God
- Father, Son And Holy Spirit -
Who Are Working All Now To Get Us Home Safely
Think Good Thoughts 
And 
Always Choose To Do Right

And 

Aggressively Prevent Satan 
From Putting His Benighted Ring In Your Nose: 
You Will Be Forever Blessed 
By The Lord's Free-To-All Mercy ... And Available Grace! 

One Day ... Soon
All Of The Wicked Will Cease Their Troubling
And
We Who Were Faithful Until Death
Or Until Christ Comes
Will Walk Upon Their Ashes
For They Will Be No More!

All I Know Is That I Don't Want To Be Amongst Them!

I Hear That!

Talk Is Cheap: Actions Speak Louder Than Words!
Don't Be Wicked!
Don't Indulge In Planned, Presumptuous, Sin!
Don't Follow Satan ... He Ain't Your Friend
And
You Won't Be Amongst Them!

AMEN!!!

"It" Only Takes One ...!

Faith
Is 
A Gift Given To Every Person ... Every Day 
For That Day's Use 
But
There Is No Point To Our Saying That 
We Have Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord 
When Our Very Plain Actions Sharply Say That 
We Don't Totally Trust Him! 

Consider For A Moment
General Moses In The Hebrew Exodus 
From The House Of Bondage In Egypt 
And 
The Roadblock Called The Red Sea That They Encountered! 

Moses Had Faith In God 
And 
Trusted The Lord To Deliver On His Promises 
To His Chosen People! 

The Lord Told Moses 
To Hold Up His Shepherd's Staff 
And 
Part The Red Sea ... NBD Aka No Big Deal! 

Moses, Human
Just Like Us Prone To Sin And Doubt By Nature
Chose To Exercise His Daily Gift Of Faith 
By Standing Decimating-Doubt 
And 
Dread Disbelief On Their Brittle Heads! 

And 

... No Abracadabra Mumbo Jumbo ... 

Human Trust By Faith
Aided 
By The Holy Power Of Omnipotence
Caused 
The Red Sea To Part 
Making Dry Ground 
For The Freed People To Walk Upon 
To The Promised Land! 

Beloved, 

Lift Up Your Faith
Extend Your Heart In Trust
Look To The Lord For Your Victories 
Already Purchased And Provided
And 
Walk With Confidence
 Into The Heavenly Promised Land! 

Please Don't Let Your Lack Of Trust Call God A Liar! 
Faith Requires Only One Step: Take It And Be Forever Blessed!

THINK ON THESE THINGS:

One Step Leads To Salvation

One Step Leads To Damnation

One Step Leads To Trust By Faith

And

One Step Leads To Doubt And Disgrace!

One Taste Led Man To Knowingly Sin

One Urge Led Man The Lord To Defy

One Urge Led Peter The Lord To Deny

One Man's Sin Led Jesus Christ For Man To Die!

Beloved, 

Do Not Doubt The Power Of One

One Lie

One Act Of Disobedience

One Walk In Presumption

One Foray Into Folly
And

One Lapse In Judgment

Can Lead Any And All

Into The One Appointment With Death

Which No Man Can Reject Or Reschedule!

Soooo ...

Let Each One Of Us

Be Wise Unto The One Sure Salvation

Standing With And For

The One Who Alone Saves

So That We May Walk Through

The One Gate That Speaks To Our Overcoming 

And

Stand Before The One

Who Did Our Punishment Take!

There Is The One Sweet Spirit Of Truth That 
Leads Into Righteousness

Whether We Are Middling, Old Or Youth!

Let Us With One Voice

Raise The Song Of Jubilee

As We Follow The One Word That 
Comes From The Holy God Who Is The Truth!

One Lord

One Faith

One Baptism

One Love

One Grace

One Heaven To Gain

One Hell To Refuse

One Peace That Passes Human Understanding

One River Of The Water Of Life

One Tree Of Life

One Crown Of Life

One Harp Of Gold

One New Name

One Holy Desire The Best Blessing To Claim!

Beloved, Believer

  Brethren Blessed, 

Hold On To Your One Hope

And

Your One Sin Rapidly Confess!

All Sin We Commit

Is 
Sin Against The One Holy God

So Believe The Living Holy Word

And

Depart The Deceitful
Destructive, Damnable Ways Of 
The One Known God-Fraud

Satan, Our Adversary

The One Who Wants Us To Deny

Defy

Denigrate

Disrespect

Dismiss

The One Who

Gives Us Our One Life To Live For Him!

Be At One With Jesus Christ The Lord!

He Is The One Way To The Father's House 
Our One Forever Home! 

Our Creator Cries With Compassion For Us

Brethren,

It Is Time For Us To Think For Ourselves
And
To Think ... Committedly
Upon Our Lord Jesus Christ
The King Of Glory!

When We Look At The History Of The Nations
From All Recorded Times
The Gods That They Served
- Every One That Was Not The Creator Of The Universe -
Were Cruel, Vindictive, Sadistic, Bloodthirsty
Always Desiring A Gift
Always Wanted To Be Served
Always Hurt Their Subjects
And
Never Showed Love Or Compassion!
Their Gods Used And Abused Them Just For Fun!

Strange Thing, Though
None Of Those Gods Was Real
But
The Damage That They Inflicted Was And Is, Still
Mind-Boggling Evil!

Come On, Wattsie!
Why Don't You Just Call A Spade A Spade!
The Gods They Served Were Demons!
The Idols Were Just Masks!

That's True 
Because 
Wood, Stone, Gold, Silver
Bronze, Jade, Ivory
Marble, Precious Stones
And 
The Modern Plastics
All Have Eyes, Ears, Noses
Hands And Feet
And 
Are Utterly Useless ... Good For Nothing
So We Know That Satan Is Behind Them!

Our God Known Holy Is Not So!
Our God Gives!
Our God Loves!
Our God Shares!
Our God Cares!
Our God ... Our Jesus ... Feels!

Next To John 3:16's 
"For God So Loved The World That 
He Gave His Only Begotten Son ...!" 

Is 

The Declaration: 
"Jesus Wept!" 

Which, Together
Make Up The Two Most Amazing Statements Of 
Love And Hope
Grace And Mercy

Comfort And Blessing

Power And Possession

Passion And Compassion 

Ever Delivered To Mankind! 

We Who Believe The Living Word 
Should Bow Our Heads In Humility 
And 

Lift Our Hearts To The Throne Of Grace 

With Gratitude For The Knowledge That 

Our Jesus ... Our Creator

Our Redeemer, Sustainer, Provider

Lord, God

Master, Friend

Hope, Help 

And

Salvation 

Feels Deeply What We Feel When We Feel It

And 

Condescends ... Lowers Himself ... As King Of Glory

To Show To All Who Behold Him ... In Faith 

That His Heart ... His Love

Is 

Towards Us Collectively

Individually

And

Personally! 

Beloved Child Of The Eternal God, 

Jesus Weeps For You

And Over You

And With You! 

Won't You Weep For Yourself 

And 

Bless Yourself By Taking Your Burdens To The Lord 

And 

Weep Upon Him!?! 

Tears Are A Language That God, The Living God, Understands! 

Remember: 

All Who Sow In Tears Shall Surely Reap In Joy! 

Whatever You Give To Jesus Comes Back As A Blessing 

So Please Ask Jesus To Wash Your Eyes With His Tears 

So That You Will See Him Clearly ... Today 

To Trust Him Totally Forever 

And 

Always ... In All Ways! 

Believe It: You Are Greatly Loved! 

I Bid Us All Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CHRISTIAN NECESSITIES: R.E.A.P Truth For Real Riches!

Many Of Us Who Ought To Know Better

Walk Proudly In Selfish Lust

And

Not Humble In Saving Grace!

We ... Like The Fool
Listen To The Lawless Musings Of The Unregenerate Heart

And 

Choose To Follow Fast Fashion, Fair-Weather Friends 

And 

The Furious Fiend

And 

Not The Still Small Voice Of The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And 

For Our Lack Of Faith's Discernment 

Must Spend Days, Weeks, And Years In The Realm Of 

"What If ...!?!" 

When We Could Be Enjoying The Journey To The Land Of 

"Oh, What A Savior!" 

Disobedience 
On A Warm, Slickly-Buttered Slice Of Instant Gratification 
May Taste Sweet Going Down

But

It Makes Your Belly Bitter

Even As As It Methodically Blights Your Life! 

Regret 
Is 
Like Eating Bitter Melon:

It Doesn't Taste Too Nice Going Down

But

Accepted And Learned From

It Surely Does A Body Good!

Obedience ... On All Points

Is 

• Good Food
• A Body Builder
• A Way Maker
• A Straight Road 
• A Trustworthy Convenience Store In The Desert Of Sin
• An Oasis Of Pure, Cool, And Sweet Water Of Truth To Slake Your Thirst After Drinking The Wormwood Water Of Doubt, The Fire Water Of Sin, And The Sickeningly Sweet Molasses Water Of Unfettered Lust And Inappropriate Desire

It Is Time To R.E.A.P. Truth! 

Recognize It

Embrace It

Accept It, And

Propagate It

To Do Anything Less 
Is 
Spiritual And Physical Suicide!

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Who Is Richer: 
The Man Who Is As Wealthy As King Croesus 

OR 

The Man Whose God 
Is 
The King Of Love

The Flinty Rock In The Desert Of Sin Which Provides Sweet Pure Water Of Life

   When You Are About Ready To Die Of Thirst

The Pillar Of Cloud That Offers Sure Protection From The Burning Heat

And 

The Pillar Of Fire That Provides Light And Warmth 

   In The Dark And Cold Night Of Your Distress 

   When The Encroaching, Raging, Lion Who Is Seeking To Devour You, Roars!?! 

Beloved, 

When Your Unmentionables Are In A Twist

And 

Your Nether Region Is In A Sling

And 

Your Hand Is In The Lion's Mouth

And 

You're Standing On A Banana Peel 
With One Foot And Four Toes In The Grave

There Ain't No Amount Of Money Can Save You

So Set Your Priorities In Order! 

We Can't Buy Off Neither Death Nor Satan

And

Lions Like Blood, Meat And Bone! 

The Choices Are Two: 
The Pride Of Life OR The Love Of God!

The Masters Are Two:

Satan OR The Savior! 

The Residences Are Two:
Damnation OR Salvation! 

And

The Currencies Are Two: Faith OR Doubt 

But 

The Decision Is One ... And Yours Alone: 

Where Do You Stand!?!  

     How Will You Stand!?! 

          With Whom Will You Stand!?! 

               Will You Stand!?! 

Faith Is A Walking Stick

A Battle Ax

A Back Prop

And

Truth Is Light

A Sword

A Comfortable Bed

A Warm Blanket

And

Both Are Christ's Gifts To Us

And

Are Available

Indispensable And Non-Disposable

Christian Necessities! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Free Salvation: A.P.P.S

There's An Old Expression That Says
To Never Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth!
The Lord Is Not A Gift Horse
The Lord Doesn't Age
The Lord Doesn't Bite
And
The Gifts Of The Lord Of Life Are Good 
Without Expiration Date
Without Best By Date
Without Use By Date
And 
Perfectly Perfect
And
We Are Well-Advised To Accept Them 
And
Without Any Fear
Because
Included In His Perfect Gifts To Freely Given To Us
Is
His Gift Of Love Which Casts Out All Fear!

Let Us Be Wise
Wise Unto To Salvation
And
Let Us Not Sell Ourselves Short
By Rejecting The Gift That Gives!

Brethren,

Salvation Is Promised To Us By Him Who Cannot Lie!

Salvation Was Purchased For Us By Him Who Chose To Die

And 

Salvation ... Free Salvation ... Is Provided To Us
Who Love The Truth 
And 
Refuse To Live Like Carrion Flies

And 

All Who Will To See Jesus Christ In Peace 

Must Procure Aka Work Out Their Own Soul's Salvation 

Through The Practice Of 

Living In Peace With Every Man ... Where Possible! 

Our Jesus ... The Prince Of Peace

Brought To This Earth A Two-Edged Sword That 

Cuts Out Sin Coming Into Our Hearts 
And 

Cuts A Clean Path For Righteousness To Walk Upon 

As It Is Going Back To The Lord! 

The Sword Of The Lord 

Is 

The Word Of The Lord Which He Has Declared 

Will Not Return To Him Void ... Empty

But 

Will Accomplish 
The Mission Which He Has Sent It To Perform In Us! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Has Given To Each Of Us Willing

The Ability, Power, Patience, And Strength 

To Use His Word ... His Sword

To Help Ourselves 

And 

To Bless Others 

As We Practice Peace With Our Brethren 

On Our Way To The Grand Performance That Proves That 

We Have The Sure Salvation ... Peace With The Eternal God! 

We Are Daily Equipped With Jesus' Holy Faith: 
Use It ... Or Lose It! 

Please Remember That 
There Is No Salvation, No Grace, No Mercy

And For Sure

No Glory To Come 
Without The Exercise Of Our Daily Gift Of Holy Faith! 

Please Believe That Jesus Christ Is
That He Sacrificially Loves Us
And
Desires That None Of Us Be Lost
But
That All Should Come To Repentance!
Salvation Is Free: Grab Hold Of It For Dear Life! 
Peace Be Unto You!

The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!

Our Only Response To The Promises Of The Eternal God

Known Holy, Just And True

Should Always Be:

"Yes, Lord! Thank You, Jesus! AMEN! 

The Promises Are Given To All

But 

Only Those Of Us Who Choose To Receive Them 

By The Holy Faith Daily Gifted To Us 

Shall Receive The Promises Prophesied 

And 

Proferred! 

The Lord Asks Us To Be Meek, Humble, Teachable: 

The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth! 

Beloved, 

We, Christians, Are Called To Be Like Our Lord Christ 

Who Was Meek And Lowly 

Never Seeking His Own Way 

But 

Ever Doing The Father's Will! 

There Is No Law That Can Be Held Up Against The Meek Ones 

Who Are A Special Object, Subject, Of The Father's Care! 

To Be Meek 

Is 

To Be Wise 

For The Promise Is Also Given That 

The Meek Will Be Clothed With Salvation!

Again ... The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth! 

The Meek Shall Inherit The Kingdom!

Innocent Blood Was Splurged 

To Give To Us This Promise, This Blessing

So, Please, Be Greedy To Gain This Grace Of The Living God

This Sweet Fruit Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth! 

Our Willingness To Believe, Trust And Obey 

Will Be Rewarded 

So Let's Keep The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

The Day Of Our Deliverance 

And 

Our Day Of Discovery Are Even Now On The Wing: 

Hold On To Jesus

And 

Hold On To Your Blessings! 

Meekness Is Not Weakness! 

Peace!

The Rock Upon Which You Stand + PRAYER: Father, We Humble Ourselves Before You!

We Have A Lot For Which To Be Thankful!

Wow! 

That's An Understatement If Ever I Heard One!

I'm Thankful That 

The Lord Is The Solid Rock Upon Which I Stand!

Beloved,

When The Rock Upon Which You Stand

Fills The Whole Earth

It Is Impossible To Fall Off The Right Path

Or Fail Of Arriving At Your Published Destination!

Let's Never Forget

Who He Is

What He Can Do

What He Is Doing

And

What He Will Do

For All Of Us Who Choose To Believe Him

Love And Trust Him ... Wholeheartedly

Worship Him Faithfully

And

Obey Him Unwaveringly

And

Follow Him Enduringly!

We Need Our King Jesus Today!

That's For Real!

PRAYER:

Father, 

We Are In Need

And

We Come Before You

Because

You Are Faithful, Holy

Giving And Forgiving

And

You Love Us! 

We Acknowledge, Confess

And 

Repent Of Our Sin Against You 

Which Has Separated Us 

From Your Holy Presence! 

Please Fulfill The Promise In Your Word 

As We Humble Ourselves Before You

Reaching Out For The Master 

By Whose Stripes We Are Healed 

And By Whose Accepted Perfect Sacrifice 

We Are Called To Return To The Family Home! 

Please, Lord, 

Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon This Flesh 

And Bless Us To Think New Thoughts

To Have Clean Desires

To Align Our Will With Your Ways

To Speak Words That Edify

To Be Kind To Ourselves And To Each Other

And 

To Walk Softly Before You 

Doing What Will Bless Others

And 

Heal Our Hurts, Our Health And Our Homes 

For We Ask These Few Blessings 

In Jesus Christ's Dear And Matchless Name! 

We Love You! Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!

Foundations Are Required

 

To Build A Strong House

One Must Have A Firm Foundation

And 

Proper Supporting Materials! 

To Be Able To Live In

To Be Established In That House

The House Needs To Have Been Purpose-Built

To Fit One's Needs 

And 

The Legal Requirements! 

To Be Safe From Evil, We Need The Lord! 

To Know The Lord, We Need The Word Of The Lord! 

For The Lord To Keep Us

- To Establish Us In The Truth -

We Must Believe The Word Is True

And 

The Giver Truthful 

And 

We Must Act Upon It! 

We Are Called To Be Patient 

And 

To Wait Upon The Lord! 

To Wait Upon The Lord 

We Must Daily Exercise The Faith That 

He Daily Gives To Us! 

Beloved, 

We Must Permit Patience ... That Blessed Virtue

To Do Her Work In Our Hearts 

So That Our Faith May Be Perfected ... Rendered Rock Solid

And 

Firm Against Satan, Sin, Self 

And 

The Evil Practiced By These Foes! 

Jesus Christ Is The Rock Of Our Salvation: 

Please Rest The Rock Of Your Gift Of Faith Upon Him 

And 

Wait Patiently For Your Inheritance! 

Disobedience Destroys: 

Please Remember That The Obedience Of Faith, Frees 

And 

Faithful Waiting ... Faithful Patience 

Patiently Waiting In Faithfulness Pays! 

We Have An Expected End: Wait For It! 

Let Nothing Steal Your Joy In Jesus!

Remember The Promise ...

They That Wait Upon The Lord

Shall Renew Their Strength ...!

And

Be Blessed!
