So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
I believe in The God I have not seen I listen to The Voice I recognize in My Soul I am protected by Heavenly Angels excelling in Strength Against all Worldly Wisdom, I March to the beat of The Unseen Drum My Dance is to The Music of The Spheres My knowledge is what The Prophets of Old longed to know I see Tomorrow through The Eyes of Hope Lit by The Light of The World I will walk in Heavenly Places In That Great Day Because He who started a Good Work in Me Will finish it Of Myself, I am Not Worthy But, by Jesus' Faith and The Mercy of God, and The Comfort of The Holy Spirit These Eyes which have not seen These ears which have not heard This Heart which has not conceived Shall, upon awakening from My Soul's Sleep Behold The King In an immortal, incorruptible body And shall to Glory rise I shall drink from The Water of Life freely I shall know God ... even as I am known I shall worship I shall bow down before My Maker I shall wing, unfettered, to Worlds unknown I shall know Peace I shall have Rest All this I shall have Because I have a Living Faith And ...? So ...? I Believe In Love Trust Honor and Worship ... The True and Living Eternal Self-existent Omnipotent Omniscient Omnipresent God Who is worthy to be Praised! So ... I shall Sing!
I cringed at The Venom! My skin crawled at The Sarcasm! I felt sad at The Fulfillment Of The Prophecy Of The Scoffers at The Time of The End. This was a person so-called intelligent Better he should be called Satan's tool For to hear him speaking Was to hear The Voice of the Bible Fool!
"What God?
There is no God!
My bad!
Soooo Sorry!
You really believe in that Sky God?!
You have got to be stupid
To believe in such a great Fraud!
Since I came along
I have been hearing
'He is returning!'
'He's Coming!'
'He is on His Way!'
He hasn't come!!
Has he lost his compass?
Doesn't he know the "direction?"
How come he can't find his way here?!
When he comes I will believe in Him!
Until then ... Get out of my way!"
Lord, Jesus!
"He has nothing for us!
We don't want him!
Leave us alone!
Let us just live as we like, and have fun, and play!
There is nothing after this life!
Live!
Eat!
Work!
Play!
Die!
Get out of my face you ignoramus!
Got to play fast for soon we die!"
My heart felt like lead dropping into my stomach! I felt the hair growing on top of my head! The fear of Almighty God rose within me For if I was God he would be lying down dead For here he was - On God's planet Drunk ... on the Oxygen The Creator God provides Living ... off of God's Grace - He pays no compensation Eating Sleeping Walking Talking Lying Decrying Body Daily Healing Fate Daily Sealing Denying Denigrating Destitute Loving the Sin Card Living in Lard Basting Waiting for the Lake Frying Pan And himself therein to bake! He is Food for The Fraud! I am Fool for God Who, all through the changing scenes of my life Has proved Himself germane To me time, time, and again And I will not Him now profane!
Oh, Lord, open their eyes
Wash away the dirt and the flies and
The lies that are obscuring their Sight
Give them Bright Light
Before the descent of Final Night
Have Mercy
Pity them
In their plight!
I walked away ... sad A prayer was all That I had to offer Lord, let it be enough! I walked away ... Glad For it showed That we are getting Closer Closer to Home!
10 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
WE MUST WORSHIP GOD AS HE PRESCRIBES!
FOLLOW THE PATTERN OR ELSE ...!
They danced before The Altar Dressed parading like common street whores While The Saints gazed on in satisfaction At the finale standing rendering applause!?! Far from Grace This Church has fallen Embracing Sinful Pork christened Righteous Beef With sharpened knife and fork, poised, at the ready Eating with relish and pleased relief! How much further down The Dark Tunnel of Deception How much more of the World's work will they steal Presenting same on The Altar of Salvation Turning somersaults panties shining Like dog stones and pearly white teeth! Even the men are getting in on the action Tumbling in the aisles, breaking the table of Altar Bread If it weren't so reprehensible it would be funny They're fortunate that it's this day or they'd have be struck dead! They can't believe that they are worshiping King Jesus They can't believe they are praising The Lord They can't believe they have The Holy Spirit's approbation When their display is only fit for Satan - The Fraud Who instigated their wicked heinous display Of disrespect and denial of God's Holiness As they indulged in riotous demonic pagan altar play! The Living God is The God of All Order Worship Him in Beauty - it's His Due Holy Worship - is our call to Order Not dancing like we're at The Dance Hall Retinue Review! Where, where, are all The Old Sign Posts Way Marks? Where is the fear and trembling, I ask you? Where is the Love and the Honor Where is The Glory given to The Holy God Above? Turn, turn, turn away from The Devil Stop giving Satan your control Stop following the World into the cesspit Look up! Walk away! Run, I tell you Return to The True Worship of Almighty God!
1. Clean Body Dirty Soul! 2. Clean Food Dirty Bowl! 3. Living in Hell Heaven's the Goal! 4. Devil Dole Christ's Fold! What Does This Mean To You? To Me: Fact: I was born a sinner. I may bathe me outwardly but still ... I sin. Clean Outwardly - inwardly a white-washed tomb, full of sin and trespasses. I need The Cleansing! Fact: Jesus Christ died after giving us His Living, Holy Word. He lives, and He gives us His Holy Life. The Word of God is Clean and Nourishing Food going into an Unclean Vessel - Me - who can be is clean only through My Acknowledgment of His Supreme Sacrifice, and My Personal Acceptance of His Saving Grace. Fact: Satan directs The Leaders Sinners Unbelievers of This Earth. God Rules and Reigns over in The Affairs of Men. Satan makes The Body of The Believer exceedingly uncomfortable but ... Since Jesus Christ is The Lord, and guards, guides and protects, keeping Heaven in sight will make even living in and enduring Hell a Badge of Delight ... until The Day dawns. Fact: The Devil delights in delivering The Depraved their Damnation even as he Doles out Disease and Destruction to Those that Delight in The Delivering Lord. The Devil may hurt and The Devil may destroy, even kill The Body BUT he can never destroy The Soul of The Saint which Soul finds its Rest in The Fold of The Father of The Faithful.
Oh, to be a Faithful Friend after God's Own Heart! What a Declaration Coming from The Mouth of God! To be considered faithful by God To be considered God's own friend And to hear God claim Me as a servant after His Own Heart Will bless My Frail Heart no end!
I once let My Eye Lead Me Down The Primrose Garden Path And when The Journey was all over I had purchased for Myself a Golden Calf! My Eye had an annoying habit Of buying what did My stomach overfill And it always left me feeling Like I was a trussed-up chicken waiting For the Butcher to come and kill! You would think that I would acquire some Commonsense But you would be wrong on that very score I again let My Eye make another purchase And Hell came knocking trying to break down My front door!
Lord, if ever I needed You
Today would be The Day
Please Help Me for
Devil Dog and You Ate Bought It
Are playing "We Got A Covetous Pup To Make Pay!"
Lord, I know that I have been Seriously Lawless
But I finally have had My Fill
Lust of This Flesh
Lust of My Eye
Pride of This Life
Have been holding sway
But if You would condescend to help a Foolish One
I promise to live My Life evermore as You Command
Help Me, for I'm about to be undone!
"Child, rescuing You is No Condescension
When Lifting You up is My Sacrificial Goal
Repent, turn away, walk on in My Light
And soon You Will Walk on The Eternal Shore.
Turn, turn, away from The Dead Things
The Dying Joys of The World
Come to Me - I AM Your Savior
With Me Life Ends in Great Reward!"
From That Day until This Day On which we are conversing I have put My Shoulder to the Gospel Plow And by God's Grace and a Living Faith I'm Walking Straight and Behaving like Chubby, The Contented Cow!
He wanted Me to doubt God But He did not know I had a trump card God had proved Himself to Me I was not living in an oil drum in a pan yard! She wanted Me to doubt God But she didn't know I had a trump card God had proved Himself to Me I was not living like a circus pig covered in thick lard! They wanted Me to doubt God But they didn't know I had a trump card #GodProvedHimselfToMeToday I did not personally for Sin have to pay! Satan wants Me to doubt My God He does not want Me to know My Trump Card Jesus, the King of All Creation Loves Me, and washed My uncleanness away So that I may join Him in Glory After setting aside the Body of Decay And putting on the Robe of the Victorious And with Him to His Kingdom fly away. I have The Trump Card Both Sides show The King - one crucified And I am shouting for Glory For the Once Dead King IS Alive And because of His Resurrection I, too Immortal, Incorruptible, will to Glory rise!
God is unhampered With The Constraints of Time! Even though I get angry His Eyesight is fine To see, and to know, what is waiting down the Road - I need to get over My upsets And #LetGodTakeControl! My Eyesight is straitened! My Knowledge is constrained! My Actions have consequences and Someone else gets blamed When My cockups cause Me tears And frustrations are frets - Thank God for Jesus who hasn't failed Me yet. Time is for Mere Mortals #EternityIsGod's Ignore Satan and his messengers Those blighted, benighted, lying frauds Who would have us believing that Time is a toy And that because of their influence We will have untrammeled joys No matter the Matter No matter the Mode No matter the Mess Get your joy Don't take excuse nor "No!" But let Me inform us that Our God made The Law! Don't ignore Him! Don't bypass Him! Don't give Him no jaw! Don't call Him a reject - His Name is Glorious and He does not have flaws! Give Him your utmost respect For His Eyes travel along Unrestricted through Our My space and His Time He sees knows what's comings Before we have toes, and a look behind! Sit stand recline ... but listen When talking to The Lord He is All knowing All Seeing Ever Present Almighty God He holds our time, times and Time in His Hand He is Trustworthy He is The Lord Maker of Man's eyes Giver of Light Bestower of Sight Light in The Night Dealer in Right Eternity's Might Giver of Daylight Pitcher of Starlight And My God Yes, Mine! Universe can't contain Him But My Heart can hold Joy Sublime The Great God - Ever Glorious He IS The Divine The Divine Ruler of ... Time!
I am really very tired of having People tell Me What My Experience of God Should Be! They may know about their God experience, but they don't know How God "Feels" to Me! As far as I know, feeling God is very personal. I don't need to study what it should be, for I know My God said in His Word that this is the way it should be:
Each man must work out his own soul's salvation with fear and trembling! Philippians 2:12
Where, in Scripture, does it say that Bro. Ram must teach Sis. Downes how to relate to God? Did the Scripture not say that The Holy Spirit dwells in each Believer? If this is true - and I believe it to be - why are You talking to Me? Look, this is the last time I am going to answer You on this: God's Word is clear! Christians should not exist on expressions i.e., emotions and feelings, and behaving like a puffy cloud pushed and tumbled in a high wind!
Christians do not walk by seeing for therein is Deceit! I am focused on Eternity with My Almighty God, and My Trials here are for The Perfecting of My Character. I must Trust that God is Faithful to deliver Me from every Trial or Trouble, even if God's Deliverance is My going to My Long Home UNTIL God's Trumpets shall sound at The Resurrection of The Just on The Last Day! I believe that I am saved through God's Grace by My Faith in The Finished Work of Jesus Christ, through His Birth, Baptism, Preaching, Healing, Trial, Execution, Death, Burial, Resurrection, and His Return to Glory where He is conducting His High Priestly Work in The Most Holy Place of The Heavenly Sanctuary. AND, I believe that He is returning one day soon, for all His Believing Children who have kept The Faith, and have run The Race, and are Awaiting The Reward that Jesus Christ promised to give to each Over-comer - and the Denying - upon His Return to this Earth. I do not need goosebumps, nor glory rolls, nor vain babblings, nor effusive utterance to "prove" to anybody that I am a Redeemed Child of The Almighty God. If God wants to visit Me personally, He will do so on His Time - not Yours! You cannot "force" The Holy Spirit to manifest Himself at Your behest! Now, I will suggest that YOU do need to re-experience Our Living God. Go to God - quietly, in Your chamber, bedroom, bathroom, outhouse, chicken house, wherever, where You can be ALONE with God, and pray! Sing! Talk. And, don't forget to LISTEN! for it is in the Stillness that His Spirit speaks. Forget the Chaos and the Confusion, and let Our Almighty God have His way, and stop engaging in emotionalism, and sensationalism, and that decidedly demonic vocalism, and all the other nonsense that calls itself worship in this day. Look, if You want Me to do something, just bring a clear "Doth saith The Lord!" and not something from your latest guru. My God is The God of Order, with everything having a time AND a place. I trust God - therein is Peace! I distrust Satan - with him is War! Whatever God has for Me, is for Me, and He will deliver it in His Time and in His Way, and I know that therein - for Me - is Joy! Have a Blessed Day!
