PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT: Let's Just Praise The Lord Our God!

Praise Is A Beautiful Thing To Hear 
When It Is Justified, True 
And 
Heartfelt 
And 
Unforced! 

People Offer Praise To Get Power And Perks 
But
We ... As Christians
Give Our Praise To The Great And Glorious One 
Who Is All Power
And
To Whom Glory, Praise And Honor Rightfully Belongs! 

Book It ...

It Cannot Be Overstressed That
All Of Our Praise Belongs To The Infinite God 
From Whom, By Love, With Mercy
For Grace ... Unmerited Favor
All Of Our Blessings Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unrequested, Unappreciated
Unthought Of 
And 
Unacknowledged
Generously, Unfailingly, Daily, Flow! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Good To Us 
Because 
He Is Good And Kind 
And 
Forever Faithful
And 
Eternally Loves Us Personally 
And 
Sacrificially! 

Beloved, 

Please Let Us Do Right
Because 
It Is Right
And
For Love Of The Lord
And 
With Grateful, Thankful, Loving Hearts 
- Overflowing With Joy Unspeakable -
Give Our Great And Glorious God
Unfeigned Aka Real, True, Honest, Praise! 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
Is 
Worthy To Be Praised 
So Let's Do It
Not Just Because It Is Commanded
But 
For The Very Real Joy ... And Sure Blessings It Brings 
To The Heart That Finds Its Worth 
And
Its Pleasures In Knowing, Honoring, Worshipping 

And 

Willingly Praising 
The King Of Love 
The God Of Grace Now
And 
The God Of Glory Soon To Come 
And 
To Share! 

All The Praise, Glory And Honor 
Rightfully Belongs To Almighty God!!

Indeed It Does!

And I Say "AMEN!!!" To That! 

Brethren,

We Can't Praise Our Lord Enough 
For His Goodness Towards Us 

So Let Us Get Our Praise Practice In Now 

So That We Shall Be Able To Praise Him 
In The World To Come ... And Forevermore! 

Hallelujah ... And AMEN!!!

HEDGE OF PROTECTION: Long Life

The Promise 
Is 
Given To All Who Choose To Believe 
The Word Of The Living God 
And 
Choose To Stay Sheltered Behind 
The Hedge Of Protection Around His People Called 
The Ten Commandments! 

The Promise Is Not Just For Life Now 
But
For Life Everlasting In The Realm Of 
The Forever Blessed! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Used Wisdom, Understanding And Knowledge 
To Set Our Planet Earth
And 
All It Contains
- Seen, Unseen, Known, And Unknown -
In Order! 

This Same Lord 
Has Given Us The Opportunity 
And 
The Wherewithal 
To Set Our Personal Planet Aka Our Individual Lives In Order 
Through His Gift To Us Of His Wisdom 
Which Is Accompanied By Spiritual Understanding 
So That The Spiritual Knowledge Which We Will Acquire 
By The Holy Spirit's Leading, Guidance
Teaching, Correction, And Constant Feeding
Will Cause Us To Fill Our Hearts, Homes, Lives
With Pleasant And Precious Things 
Which Can Never Erode Or Get Old! 

Faith, Hope, Trust, Obedience
And 
A Willing Spirit That Follows After Truth, Wisdom
And 
The Wisdom Of The Truth
Shall Arrive Safely On The Peaceful Shore 
To Stand Victorious In The Presence Of The Truth, Himself
Jesus Christ, The Lord! 

Brethren,

The Illuminated Minds Say That
"A Promise Is A Comfort For A Fool!"
Don't Be As They Are And Be Worldly Wise
But
Be Ye Wise ... Unto Soul Salvation
And
Become A Fool ... For The Lord Christ
He Who, Alone, Blesses And Utterly Saves!
To His Sure Promises
Choose To Say:

"Yes, Lord!

Thank You, Jesus!

Amen!"

Real Help Comes From Jesus Christ ... Our Present Help!

... And If You Don't Recognize Your Need
And
Acknowledge It For What Is Is
You Will Never Acknowledge That
It Is Upon The Lord Christ That You Must Feed!

Understand This ...

The Quickest Way To Get Rid Of A Known Problem 
Is 
To Know Its Source! 
The Quickest Way To Get Help Solving A Problem 
Is 
To Know Who Can Provide The Needed Help
And
The Quickest Way To Get The Problem Fixed 
Is 
To Ask For The Needed Help! 

True, True!

I Learned That Lesson The Hard Way!

I'm Still Learning That Lesson!

Children,

We Have Problems 
And 
The One Source For Real Help
- Jesus Christ The Righteous -
Who Is Available And Is Able To Help Us
Thinks On Us To Deliver Us
And 
Is Awaiting Our Humble Cry To Him For Assistance! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Is Here To Help ... He Knows Our Frame
But 
We Will Never Receive The Help We Need 
If 
We Don't Trust Him And His Love Enough 
To Ask For His Help To Get Our Relief! 

Draw Near To Almighty God

And He Will Draw Near To You!

Learn A Lesson From The Mundane ...

We Have Light Switches 
Leading Off An Energy Source 
Connected To Light Bulbs In Our Homes 
To Give Us Illumination! 

The Light Bill Is Paid! 

The Light Bulbs Work 
And 
The Light Switch Is Connected 
But 
If We Don't Flick The Switch
We Will Never Have Bright Light 
To Rebuke The Deep Darkness! 

Jesus Is The Energy Source! 
Unlit Light Bulbs Are Our Problems! 
Prayer Is The Light  Switch! 
Our Faith Flicks The Switch 
And 
We Are Lit Up 
And 
Helped 
And 
Delivered: We Are Blessed! 

Please Ask For Your Help!
For That Matter
Let Us All Go Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
Where We Shall Find Help In Our Time Of Need!

He Who Asks, Receives!

A Word For The Wise ...

The Lord Is Always On Time: 
Set Your Clock To His Time 
And 
Be Lit Up With Peace!

KNOWING: Heaven With Jesus Christ Is Our Home!

We Who Hold The Almighty God In Godly Fear ... In Awe

Trust The Unerring, Infallible, Word Of 
This Great And Glorious, Giving, Blessing, Holy God 

Whose Ways Are Perfect 

And 

Whose Promises Cannot Fail To Be Performed! 

In This God ... Our Jesus Christ

We Have The Lively Promise Of A Known End: 
Heaven With Him When The Last Trumpet Shall Sound

Plus Immortality ... We Shall Live Forever

And 

Incorruptibility ... We Can't Die Or Ever Sin Again! 

In The Realm Of The Flesh, We Die And We Sin: 

In The Realm Of The Spirit Of The Holy God

We Have The Good Life To Look Forward To 

And 

We May Taste This Future Life Now 

By Living With Active Faith

Cherishing Willing Obedience

And 

Walking Wise In The Certain Knowledge That 

Our Jesus Has A Home For Each One Of Us Personally! 

Beloved, 

It Is Appointed, Once, For Man To Die

But

The One Who Dies Having Lived In The Holy Faith 
Given To The Saints Of God And Christ

Will Die Secure In The Knowledge Of 
The Gift Of Eternal Life With Christ! 

Heaven Is Home: 

Let No Created Being ... Fallen Angel Or Wicked Human

Kill Your Hope Tree! 

Brethren,

Live Like You Intend To Inhabit 
Your God-Built House And Eternal Home!
I Pray To See You All In The Beautiful City!

The Lord Knows That I'm Trying!

The Lord Knows That I Often Fail Miserably 
But I'm Never Gonna Stop Or Give Up!

We Are Made of Dust 
With The Breath Of The Living God Added
Which Makes Us Living Souls! 
We All Are Born In Sin
And
We All Have Sinful Natures
But
The Word Of The Lord Nurtures Us
To Do The Good And The Right
So That We, Willing, May All Be Saved!

Please Refuse To Look At Your Mistakes
After You Have Willingly Confessed 
And 
Sincerely Repented Of Them To Our Loving Lord!

Choose, Instead
To Look At Jesus Christ Through The Lens Of The Living Word
And 
Choose To Believe That 
The Good Work That Jesus Christ Has Started In You
He Is Utterly Going To Finish! 

Our God ... Your God
Is 
Bigger Than Your Sin
So Please Keep Your Faith Fixed 
And 
Your Eyes Focused On Christ Jesus! 

We Are All Sinners!
Those Who Choose To Believe The Word
Like Us ... Like You
Are Sinners ... Saved!
Jesus Christ Is Your Personal Savior:
Believe It And Live With Joy In Jesus! 

Remember ...

Almighty God See Our Tears
Hears Our Prayers
And
Is Never Indifferent To Our Pains, Fears Or Uncertainties!
Keep Praying!
Keep Trusting
And
Keep Maintaining Your Focus On The Lord Christ
And
His Gift To Us Of Eternal Life!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

AMEN!!!

Sowers Always Reap What They Sowed!

Despite What Is Widely Published
In The Galleria Of The Mall Of Sin
What A Person Sows
Is
Exactly What The Person Will Reap!
We've Got Bible For That
And
Bible Don't  ... Can't ... Lie!

Brethren,

There Are Only Two Paths In This Life:
The Way Of The Ungodly
And
The Way Of The Righteous
And
We Who Call Ourselves Christians
Should Be On The Only Path That
Leads To Eternal Life!

Preach It, Brother!

Bitter Water And Sweet Water
Can't Come From The Same Spring
And
There Ain't No Sinner Unrepentant That
Shall Ever, Ever
Immortality And Eternal Life Be Reaping!

AMEN!!!

You Tell Them, Brother Berry!

Hold Up, Master Cuddy!
You Might Be ... Nay ... You Are Laboring
Under A Clear Misapprehension!

How So, Brother B.!?!

Simple!
The Message Is Not For "Them!"
The Message Is For You, Me ... For Us All!

But ...!?!

... Halt Your Butting Right There!
If You Will Permit Me To Be Tad Childish:
When You Are Pointing At Another Person
With Your Pointed-Accusing Index Finger
How Many Of Your Own Fingers
Are Pointing Back At You!?!

Oh, Dear!

Uh, huh!

Beloved, 

We Have Been Warned: 
Just As A Man Thinks, So Is He! 

We Have Been Cautioned: Guard Your Heart 
Because 
You Go Where It Sends You! 

We Are Encouraged: 
Do Good And Good Will Attend You! 

We Have The Sure Promise: 
The Blessings Of The Lord Make Us Rich 
And 
He Adds No Sorrow To Them! 

We Are Called To Build A House ... A Sure House
Where Righteousness Dwells 
Because 
To Be Righteous
To Have The Hand Of The Lord Upon Your Life
Moving You
Motivating You By The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Speak 
And 
To Do According To His Holy Will 
And 
In His Blessed Way
Is 
To Bless Your Own Soul 
Out Of The Bounty In The Storehouses Of Heaven! 

Remember ...

You Can't Input Garbage Into Your Heart 
And 
Produce Gold: 
GIGO ... Garbage In/Garbage Out! 
Our Computers "Know" This: Shouldn't We!?! 

Let Us Endeavor ... Today
To Live The Righteous Life So That 
We May, Indeed, Enjoy The Fruit
The Blessed Outcome Of Our Doings 
Aka A Home In Glory With Almighty God
With Jesus Christ Our Blessed Lord! 

Please Let The Desire 
To Hear The "Well Done!" From Our Jesus 
Motivate Our Thoughts And Deeds Today! 
If We Don't We Will Never See Him In Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Plant Good Seed + PRAYER: I Shall Emerge As Gold!

Just Like Good Seeds
Bad Seeds Grow
And 
What Grows
Grows Up To Be Harvested For The Table 
To Bless Body And Soul 
Or 
Grows To Be Cut Down 
And 
Cast In The Furnace
Cast On The Pyre, The Rubbish Heap 
Or Discard Pile As Fuel 
Because 
It Serves No Otherwise Profitable Purpose! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Deceive Ourselves:
We Cannot Deceive The Living God!

We Who Follow The Lord Christ 
Must Sow Good Seeds Of Kindness
Love, Sharing, Caring And Helping
Believing The Word
Trusting The Lord
Living In Light And Ever Doing Right
Always Pleasing Almighty God 
And 
Blessing Ourselves As A Result! 

Please Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 
To Have His Way With Us
Feeding Our Souls 
And 
Maturing A Clear Conscience 
Because 
To Do Otherwise ... To Resist The Sweet Of Truth Spirit
Is 
To Mark Us As Among The Unwise Who Shall Reap 
Their Preferred Harvest Of Destruction 
In The Lake Of Fire! 

Be Wise
And 
Choose To Have A Heart Tended By The Holy Spirit! 

Plant Good Seed!
Enjoy The Water Of The Word!
Reach For The Sun Of Righteousness
And 
Look Forward With Joy 
To The Harvest Celebration
The Coming Of Lord Christ
Our Loving, Kind, Great And Glorious King 
Who Cares And Utterly Saves! 

PRAYER:

Lord,

By Your Grace

I Will Covet No Man's Silver Or Gold Or Raiment

And I Will Daily Choose To Be Contented

With Such Things As You Provide For Me!

Most People Have Nothing

But I Have Much To Be Thankful For!

I Give You Praise And Say: "Thank You!"

Father, You Lead Me To Green Pastures

And I Am Substantially Fed!

You Teach Me The Ways Of Righteousness 

And I, Contented, Rest Easy In My Bed!

You Chastise Me Because I Am Not A Bastard

But Am Your Child Greatly Beloved!

By Your Will And Under Your Supervision

I Know I Will Pass Through The Crucible Of Affliction

Leading To Character Perfection

And At The Moment Of Your Choosing

I Shall Emerge As Gold

Revived And Reformed

Suitable To Dwell Forever

In The Presence Of Your Holy Fire!

You Equip Me To Serve You

In The Harvest Field Ripening

And I Enjoy The Pleasant Work!

I Thank You For The Spirit That

Makes Me The Worker Willing!

Father, 

I Trust You!

I Love You!

I Praise Your Holy Name!

I Look Forward To The Great Day Of Small Things

And While I Am Patiently Waiting

In The Here And The Now

I Humbly Beg You, Please

For The Holy Spirit's Infilling!

By You, Dear Lord

I Live And Breathe And Have My Being 

And I Desire To Arrive Safely At The Place

On The Appointed Day Prophesied 

When Your Dear Sweet Face 

In Perfect Peace

I Shall Surely Be Seeing!

Father, 

Please Keep Me Faithful

Please Keep Me Spiritually And Physically Fed

And Bless Me Out Of Your Great Supply Of

Mercy, Grace, Goodness And Righteousness

As I Daily All My Known Sin Repent And Confess!

Remember The Holy People

The Praying People

The Waiting People

And Bless Us All To Do Your Bidding

Without Murmur Or Complaint!

Thank You For The Daily Victories Over Sin And Self

And Bless Us, Lord, Bless Us

So That In The Final Analysis

It Is Noted In Our Record That

To You, We Are Indeed The Child Called

Spiritual Success!

Please Provide For Us All According To Our Need

And Grant Us These Few Petitions

For We Ask All In The Wonderful Name Of

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Soon-Returning Kind King!

AMEN!!!

Stand Strong ... In Jesus Christ The Lord!

There Is No Child Of The Eternal God 
Who Should Ever Have Cause To Say With A Straight Face
Or Firm Conviction
That They Feel ... Or Know 
That They Have Been Forsaken 
By Our Lord Christ! 

To Say Such 
Is 
To Co-Sign The Gross Lie Of 
The Damned-For-All-Eternity Devil! 

As Christians Called To Walk By Faith 
And 
Not By The Lying Sight Of Fallen-Man Carnal Eyes
We Are Not To Trust 
What We See, Hear Or Feel! 

We Are To Faithfully
Enduringly, Wisely, Confidently Trust 
In The Living Word Of The All-Knowing God 
Whose Name
Whose Character
Is 
The Truth! 

Don't You Know ...

The Truth Cannot Be A Lie 
No Matter How Many Times And Ways 
You Slice And Dice It 
For A Man-Made Devil-Inspired Road-To-Hell Salad! 

Beloved, 

We Are Living In Strange, Wonderful
And, Yes
Painful Times
At The Cross-Road Of Time And Eternity
But
Now Is Not The Time 
To Let Loose Sinful Self-Absorbed Self To Studiedly Sing
"Oh, Woe Is Me!"
"Nobody Loves Me!"
"I Am Sooo Alone!"
And
The No. #1 Song On The Pity-Party Hit Parade:

"Why Me, Lord!?!"

Please Don't Look Down And Around 
And 
Focusing Inwardly
Dwell Morbidly Upon Your Current Circumstances! 
Please Look Up To 
Rely Upon
And 
Press Into The Lord Of Life 
Who Calls You To Come To His Side ... By Faith! 

The Lord Equips The Called: Believe In The Lord
And 
Passionately Pray On
Ardently Expecting Something Good To Happen! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

We Are Neither Forgotten 
Nor Forsaken 
Because 
We Are Sacrificially Loved: 
Our Names Are Engraved In Our Jesus Christ's Hands!
Find Your Perfect Peace In The Life Of The Lord
The Lord Of Life! 

Disgrace Satan Today:

Stand Strong In Jesus!
