The Destruction Delegation - Divide & Conquer Command Meeting


"Divide! Divide!"

"But, why?"

"Can anyone answer that question?!"

"So that we may conquer them!"

"Very gooood! And for that perfect,perfect, answer Distrust, you get first chance at them!"

So went The Meeting of The Destruction Delegation - Divide & Conquer Command.

"Wow! Those Christians don't stand a chance!"

"Do not try to get them to leave their churches - Join their churches!
Join their committees!
Be their Best Friend!
Be their Girlfriend!
Be their Boyfriend!
Be their Mother!
Be their Father!
Be their Brother!
Be their Sister!
Be their Guide!
Be their Leader!
Be their Teacher!
Be their Preacher!
Be Whoever, Whatever, Wherever, Whenever you need to be, or to do, to Accomplish The Task!"

"I liiiikkkke!" said Falter

"Wherever they go - you go!
Whatever they do - you do!
But ... Do not forget to go The Extra Mile!
Give The Friendly Smile!
Be kind to The Child
AND
Beguile! Beguile!"

"Niiiccceeeeeeeeee!" said Randy, Rowdy, Rambunctious and Ribald in unison.

"People, this is no different from a bloody war!
We can't go back home, and it is our job to make sure that they can't go home either!"

"Yeahhhh!!" said Okay-But

"We won't get them all but WE WILL GET A LOT OF THEM!!

"Becauseeee ...?! 
Why?!
How?!
Wha...aat?!"

"BECAUUSSSSSSSSE:

1. Humans love to be told how wonderful they are!
2. They love to be told that they are better than everybody else, and
3. They love to know they know something by nobody else does! And, get this!
4. They really love to have something that nobody else has to brag about!"

"Gooood to knnooooww! said Mendacious.

"People!! You must:

1. Appeal to their Vanity!
2. Appeal to their Greed!
3. Stroke The Ego!
4. Pat them on The Head!

In short, go for Overkill!"

"And when they are leaning on your shoulder
Feed then The Swill
And they'll eat until they fall down 
Dead from Overfill!"

"I really, really, like that!" said Tempted-to-Touch.

"Feed them so they can't think straight and make "The Decision" for You Know Who!
Promise them the World!
Give them a quick Twirl!
Give them a few Pennies
And hear them as they Purr
And Perform
And Run Around
Doing as we Bid
Never Realizing that
For them, we don't give a Fig!"

"Niiicee!!" 

"It's all about The Numbers!
We must get our Numbers High
Don't ever Forget
He is Coming and
We are going to Eternally Die!"

"He loves these Silly Humans!
They are His Pets
And that very reason gets Boss-man upset!
So, let's get to it
Let's have a Harvest
Let's have a Harvest Galore
Let's make Boss-man Happy
Let's bring down those Humans for Certain Sure!

"Yeeessss!! 
Yeeessss! 
Yeeessss!!"





Dear Ones:

Since God loves us, Satan hates us with a Passion Refined by Time and Experience.

Satan is not our Friend!

Satan will rob us of our Peace!

Satan will try to make us Release our Hold on our Salvation, and he will do it by sitting next to us at our Church Services, and even in our very homes!

Don't look for Satan at The Gin Joint - he has no need to go there!

Look for Satan where God's People Meet:

Look for The Self-righteous
Look for The Puffed-up
Look for The Grossly Opinionated
Look for The Holier Than Thou
Look for The Greed-actuated 

"Saint" Who Must Always Have Preeminence, and 

Look for Master Mouse of Mindful Manners to whom everyone willingly, wittingly and "wisely" defers.

Look for Satan in The Kindly Teacher of "Truths" taught with Worldly Passion and Vain-glorious Purpose!

Look for Satan in The Strikingly Handsome AND 
Honestly Homey AND 
Winningly Wonderful AND 
Borderline Beautiful and Bumptious AND 
Soulfully Saintly Sellers of Profane Symbology and New Age Truths.

Look for Satan in ... Self!!

Remember, if we are not looking at Jesus Christ, we are seeing Satan! - There is No Middle Ground!

Remember, Satan, Sin and Self all begin with "S" and their fates are all the Same!

Let's give none of them a toehold!


Give Jesus Christ Your Head
Your Heart
Your Hand
and
Your Hope
and
Get 
Help
and
Healing
and
Gain 
The Glorious Home in Heaven!

It Is Well With My Soul!?

In The Midst of Grave Illness
"It Is Well With My Soul!"
Was The Song of My Heart!
I Sang it Every Day Upon Awakening
For It Dispelled The Thoughts of The Night Dark!

For Months My Song Gave Me Comfort
For Months It Got Me Through The Day
Until That Fateful Morning When
I Plainly Heard My Savior Say:


"Is it Really Well With Your Soul
As You Sing Every Day 
Or 
Are Those Just Words
That Let Your Voice Be Heard 
And 
Something You Like To Say?"

Though Stunned, I Continued Singing
My Voice Cracking now:


"Though Satan Should Buffet
Though Trials Should Come
Let This Blest Assurance Control
That Christ Hath Regarded
My Help ... less ... Es ... tate
And ... Ha ... th Sh ... edd ...
Hi ...sss ... Own ... Bl ... ooddd
For ... Myyy .. Ss ...oo ..."

And, Oh, How The Tears Flowed ...

I Looked Through The Open Window
Raising My Eyes Up Toward Heaven
And Acknowledged The Question:



The Words Are Important - They Are The Song Of My Heart
I Love Me My Jesus - From Him I Won't Depart
I Am A Work In Progress - I've Made Many Mistakes
But Where It Comes To The Love of Jesus - I Am Not A Fake ...
Jesus Promised To Be My Shepherd - I'm A Sheep
Sometimes Sheep Go Astray ...

BUT ...


Jesus Christ Knows This Heart
And He Is With Me - I Know He Cares!
Soooo ...

I Inhaled Deeply - A Shuddering Breath
And With The Love Of God In Me
I sang:


"It is We ... lll
With My So ... ull
It is Well ... IT IS WELL
With My Soul
Lord, Jesus, Hold On To Me
Help Me Hold On To You
Lord, Have Mercy On Me ... "
Dear Ones:

The Words of The Songs And Hymns Of The Faith Are Not Just Words!

If They Were Just Words, The Holy Spirit Would Not Have Inspired The Apostle To Pen The Immortal Words Beseeching Us To Comfort Ourselves And Others With Psalms, Hymns And Spirituals Songs! I Say Ourselves Because What Purpose Is Served By Our Comforting Others With Songs Which Are Of No Comfort To Ourselves?!




Listen! Really Listen To The Words Of The Old Hymns Which Speak Of 
Overcoming Adversity
Traveling To The City
Trusting God For Provision, and
Testifying Of Grace Bestowed
Merciful Pardon Received
Enduring Peace Provided
Hope for Glory Sustained
Daily Mercies Displayed
Wholehearted Faith Grounded
Comfort
Everlasting Joy And Deliverance, And More!

What Is Your Testimony?

Please, Look Within And Encourage Yourselves And The Brethren By Sharing Your Stories Of Battles Fought And Victories Won, And Being Won As You Say With Conviction:


"Yes, Lord! 
With You Guiding My Footsteps
And Me Following In Faith
No Matter The Upset
No Matter The Shame Or Disgrace
I Stand On Your Promises
I Believe In, Love, And Trust You
I Will Stay In The Safe Fold 
For Jesus, My Savior, In You
It Is, Indeed, Well, With This Soul!"

Be Well, and Be Gloriously Blessed,

BJ

Prayer: Lead Us, Lord



Evil Stalks in The Garb of Peace
Without You, Father
We would have no Relief
We Pray for Your Leading
And Protection Today
We Love You, and Trust You
Guide Us, Lord - Be Our Stay.
Amen.





The Living Night Light




I Read My Bible Last Thing Before Bed
And Sleep like a Baby - Nothing to Dread
My Sleep is Peaceful - No thing can Bring Fright
For The Word of God IS My Living Light!

Sometimes I Go On Grand Journeys
Crossing Great Seas
Sometimes I walk In A Splendid Garden
Among Beautiful Trees!

BUT ...



Ever So Often
There Is A Program Interrupt
And I Must Face Some Challenge
Before I Can Wake Up!

I Have Met The Dreaded Dragon
The Beautiful Snake
Selling for Pittance
The Demonically Glorious Prosperity Stake
To Be Had
If I would Only
Admit That Jesus Christ Is A Fake!

By Denying The Master
I Can Receive
Sin's Pleasures and Rewards

BUT ...

Because I Love Jesus
I Cry: "Jesus Christ Is My Lord!"

AND ...

Before I Can Even Own It
I've said My Prayers ... Yet Again
And I am Gently Snoring
"Thank God for Jesus!
Amen!"

Jesus IS The Light
That Gives To Me My Sight
To Live and Laugh
To Work and Play
To Pray and Worship
And To Not For Sin Pay!
He IS My Redeemer
My Friend To The End
And, With The Blessing Of The Father
I'll Walk With Him To My Life's End!

Mission Ready!




God sent Me on a Mission!
I said: "Sure, as long as You Come Along!"
Then I thought: "That Statement was Unnecessary!"
And started walking, singing a Happy Song!

Many are The Called!
Few are The Chosen!
God uses The Willing
Those be Salvation Broken
Providing The Equipment
Making The Way, and
There is No Fear that can Derail The Mission
Even if we Stumble and forget to Pray!

Jesus is My Pilot!
The Spirit is My Stay!
God is My Father, and
I will do What and How He Says!

I am not Forgotten
I walk with True Friend
With Holy Angels Encamping
Ready to Defend!

No matter what may Assail Me
No matter The Stumbling Blocks
Jesus Christ is The Shepherd
And I am a Sheep in His Flock!

I Pray in Faith for
I am a Believer
Willing
Prepared
Ready to Work, and
I will not Turn Aside
Even if Woe Betide
For Jesus, The Captain
My Commander
Is Ever by My Side!

WISDOM: Good vs. Grubs


I met a little Magpie
Stepping prettily as she went
She walked across the Window Sill
And then she daintily bent
And picked up The Shining Object
And ... away she went!

Ding, Ding, ding!!
Light Bulb Moment:



God Gives Us The Good

BUT

We Go After Satan's Grubs!


We Steal, Beg, Borrow, and Covet Shiny Non-beneficial Pyrite (Fool's Gold)
And Cast Off The Off The Scale Pure Gold of Heaven
Because it does not have
The False Glow and Cheap Sheen That Sin Artfully Supplies!


Please Remember ...



Anything That Satan and Sin "Give"
is
Holo-Marked
"Instantly Decays Upon Opening!"
and is
Useless for Salvation
as it
Corrupts Good Manners and Morals
while
Corroding The Spirit
and is also
Disease-bearing
and
Distinctly Deadly!

TRANSLATION:
Nothing Good Comes From Satan!!




So, Dear Ones, Go To God For The Gold ...


GOD'S PROMISES ARE TRUE
GOD'S PROMISES ARE SURE
GOD'S PROMISES ARE EVERLASTING
for
JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD
 MAKES THEM SECURE!!

VESPERS AFTER THE SABBATH: Satan Is The Liar!





Satan is The Liar!
His white shirt has Rainbow Trim, and
If you are not real careful
He will draw you, spin you, and pull you in
To his many machinations
To get you to Worship him as king
Leaving The Love of The Savior
To his Putrid Pit of Sin to Head First Fall In!

Don't Trust Satan! 
He does not like Humans
Especially any that Belong to Jesus Christ The King
Whose throne He has sworn to rise above
Which means he must make himself higher
Than The King whom My Soul Desires!


Liar! Liar!
Your pants is on fire!
You are not someone
That I can admire!
You are a murderer and
A consummate cheat
I heard you talking and
It came out like the bleat
Of The Big Horned Goat
Who could once make musical notes
But because of his sin
He gets someone else to sing for him
With himself as director
Orchestrating the moves
The dances, the pyre
With Greed and Gusto
Gambit and Gain
Penny Ante, Operator
Mad Money and Gin
I-Ritis, Me-Itis, and Belly the Bard
Who, for a penny 
Sells Sinners for a pound
While Wild D The Coyote
Helps hunt them down!

Lies are Lubrication
Lies are cheap oil
Lies are the Currency
The Destroyer employs
To mislead the Gullible
To outwit the Worldly Wise
To bamboozle the Bewitched
To free-play with Sin's toys!

Listen well, Dear Children
Listen well, and Understand
That Satan The Arch Deceiver
Will often appear as a Kind Human!

Satan's words are in Opposition
Always to The Holy Word
With a well-studied Basis
Much like Milk with Cheese Curd!

It has what you want
With a little extra beside
It always has a high note
With a free-fall on the Back Side!

Think of: "Thou shalt surely die!"
Think of Satan's: "Thou shalt not surely ...!"
Think of The Stated Outcome
THEN, with God's Help
Act Right and Accordingly!

Satan has No Love for Man
Satan will Deceive You -
Don't You Know That You're Human?
Stay on The Straight Path
Follow As The Holy God Says
Do The First Works  and Stick with King Zion
And before You Know it
You will be to Heaven Flying!



Satan IS The Liar
and
He Wants More "Wood" 
for 
His Funeral Pyre!

Deny The Liar His Desire!

Walk With GOD!!







PLEASE REMEMBER:




Prayer: Your Hand





Oh, Lord
Your Hand of Provision is Ever in My Sight
And I Bless You both Day and Night!
I Thank You for The Grace
That Ever Flows!
I Thank you for The Mercy 
That Never Slows, and
I Thank You for The Hope
Especially when Sorrow Shows!
I Bless Your Holy Name, Lord
For You Know My Beginning and My End, and
I Humbly Offer You My Praise and My Worship!
I Love You, Lord!
Amen.



God's Love For Me Is Eternal! + Prayer: Thanks!





God's Grace gives Me Access
God's Mercy gives Me Hope
God's Love for Me is Eternal
And for this I don't have to Vote!

I send a Prayer up to Heaven
With Full Knowledge of The Power of Jesus' Blood
For The Blood of His Great Sacrifice
Assures Me an Answer from God Above!

I will Pray to God without Ceasing
I will Pray when it seems This Life is Me Defeating
I will Pray for My Days on Earth are Fleeting
I Will Pray ... I WILL PRAY!

Jesus+Saves

Heavenly Father,
Thanks for the Benefits You Bestow
Thanks for The Love that Shows
Thanks for Forgiving The Balance I Owe
I Give You Praise!
Amen.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Great Occurrence!








There was The Great Occurrence
Which came from Heaven above
Which tells The  Beautiful Story
Of Sacrificial Love
How Jesus left His Home in Paradise
And came to Earth for to Die
To save the Race of Mankind
Wicked
Unworthy
Sin Defiled!

He thought not of The Great Sacrifice
He thought not of The Grave Pain
He thought only of His Beloved Children and
How He must them Reclaim!

With Great Love and Unending Compassion
He laid on That Cruel Cross
For without His Great Personal Sacrifice
His Children would be forever to Him Eternally Lost!

Now this is The Redemption Story
Hear you well This Song
How Jesus my Savior
His Gold Crown Laid Down
To give me a Way Back
To be Reconciled unto The Holy God
Instead of being Forever Destroyed
Anathema to God!

Jesus Died
Yet He Lives and,
Of this, I'm Certain:

He is Coming Again One Glad Day and
Because I am a True Believer
I am packing my Blessed Faith and
I am Waiting
Ready
Prepared 
For
With Him I shall Fly
Fly
Fly Away!

Glory is Awaiting Me
Glory, No More Cross to Bear
The Glory of Jesus I shall Share
Bless His Holy Name!

Call No Man Master




I will call no Man My Master!
I will not Worship Man as God!
Man cannot do anything for Me
For Man is ever into doing something bad!

Man's Baubles and Trinkets though shiny
Can never from God draw me away
For I have The Faith of The Heavenly Father
And from that I'm never turning away!

I can say this with Mighty Conviction:
I have denied Self AND I don't then Self-rely
For I do not turn Inward - I turn Upward
And I Trust The Living God for Me to Provide!

I will not Walk on in My Own Strength - I have none!
"Dear God, won't You Please with Me Your Strength Share for
You Promised to Provide for My Daily Needs
And You Promised Always to Care!?"

I Know and Believe that You, Lord, are Faithful!
I Know, Lord, that You are My One True Friend
And I know that until The Day of Discovery
That You, Lord, will always Me Defend!

Blessings are Mine for The Asking
Accepting and, definitely
Taking Hold!
Blessings will be Mine in The Forever
Because My Master IS Jesus Christ
The King
The Savior
The Purveyor of Fire-Tried Purest Gold!


I Will Call No MAN Master 
for
MAN Cannot Help Me
MAN Cannot Heal Me
MAN Cannot Save Me
MAN Cannot Seal Me
MAN Cannot Redeem Me
from
SIN and DEATH and Hell
for
MAN 
IS
NOT 
THE TRUE and LIVING 
ETERNAL, HOLY GOD!!

Prayer: Father, Keep Me





Father,
I come as a Child both Wayward and Stubborn
 I have a Temper, Dear Lord, which I must Learn to Govern
 I Trust You and Love You
Dear Lord, Help Me this day
Always before You True Humility to Display.
Let Me not My Poor Self Beguile
Keep Me Always Loving, with a Genuine Smile
Remove from Me Faithlessness and Worldly Regrets
And let Me Present Myself
Willing and Ready
With a Heart that is to Your Coming Kingdom Set.
Amen.

Before 12 o' Clock!


The day started with news of Patricide
Then it was followed by a Suicide
Then there was a Homicide
And I was feeling, well, Tongue-tied!

In whom could I Confide
Regards the Flowing Red Tide?
"Time is Running Short
For those Denying that Jesus Christ Died for us!" I cried.




Satan is Snide!
The Worldly Web is Wide!
Guns no longer Hide
And Families Divide!

Where is the Teacher Guide
Who will humbly faithfully to The World Provide
The "Oil" from God's Side
That can cause People from Sin to Backslide?

God's People, let's get off our Backside
Let's go yon' to the Roadside
Let's teach even the Mourner at The Graveside
Let's help to arrest the Rapid Down-slide
Before God issues His Terminal Broadside!

Thank God that Jesus indeed Died
And we, Faithful, did not His Grace Deny
Heaven is now here Espied
Unrepentant Sinners will Permanently Die
We will no more ever Cry
And we will in Peace to Glory Fly!

Adam "Speaks!"





I am of The Human Race - Man
I am Created - Creature
I am Made of Dust - Dirty
I received God's Breath - Life
I communed with God - Worship
I received The Wife - Eve
I listened to God - Obedience
I worshiped God - Sabbath
I honored My Wife over God - Idolatry
I Ignored God's Law - Dishonor
I Sinned against My God - Disobedience
I Accused God of Giving Me Faulty Merchandise - Lying
I was Cursed by Almighty God - The Fall
I caused The Curse to Fall on Mankind - Separation from God
I must sweat - Work
I must cease to live - Die

But... God had Compassion

God sent His Only Son - Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ - Immanuel a/k/a God With Us
Jesus Christ is ...The Lamb
The Lamb is ... The Sacrifice
The Sacrifice ... Atones
Atonement came at ... The Cross
The Cross is a ... Bridge
The Bridge leads Me back to ... God
The Bridge is bathed in ... Blood
The Blood belongs to ... Immanuel
Immanuel's Blood ... Cleans
I repented of My Sin against The Eternal God for I desired to be ... Clean

I am The First Adam
I brought Death to All Mankind
Jesus Christ is The Second Adam
He brings Eternal Life to All Mankind by His Death
I brought Death to All Mankind by My Life
I accepted The Blood of The Sacrifice by Faith in God's Word

And

I Am Forgiven

And

I shall see My King!

My Children ...

Take heed to The Law of The Lord!
When God Speaks - Listen!
When you Listen - Hear!
When you Hear - Obey!

Disobedience - to God - is as Witchcraft!
Witchcraft - to God - is an Abomination!
Abominations - to God - are Destroyed.

Please do not walk right in your own eyes!
Your eyes are Blind!

Please do not present yourselves before God as did my first son, Cain!
Cain Disrespected and Disobeyed God, and his Person and Sacrifice were Denied by God!

His Disobedience led to Jealousy which led to Hatred which led to Murder which resulted in the Death of My Beloved Son, Abel.

The Innocent Died at The Hand of The Guilty, Unrepentant Sinner.

Please Remember my son, Abel, who typified The Coming Redeemer, Bridge, Sacrifice, Atonement, Savior!

Abel honored God in his Person - his Obedience -  and in his Offering of Sacrifice for Sin AND both He and His Sacrifice were found Acceptable, and were Accepted by God!

Abel did not Offer his own Righteousness to God.
Abel followed God's Prescription, and was made "Whole!"

My Children, Honor God in Your Person and in Your Practice!
Please God with the Produce of Your Prayers and Praise!
Worship God with a Beautiful Spirit, and in Holiness!

Children, You Are Not Your Own!
Redeem Your Time - Walk Worthy of Your High Calling!
God Gives to You Your Times!
Do as God Says!

Our God is Just!
Our God is Faithful!
Our God is Fair!
Our God has No Favorites!
Do Good and Good Will Attend You!

Seek God's Help in Mending All Your Evil Ways, and
Remember that Sin Always Costs for
Sin's Account Is Overdrawn and
It's Debt Can Never Be Repaid!

Give Heed To My Words!
I know of what I speak for
I, to Sin, Strayed and
I Disobeyed and, since Forever, Mankind Pays.


I Beseech You, Children
Obey Almighty God!

Walking By Faith!




I know not what The Day May Bring
But I know Who Brings The Day!
I know not if there'll be Suffering
But I do know The King!

I know not which Hand may Comfort me
But I know The Comforter!
I know not if I may Cry or Sing
But I do know The King!

I made no Pact with Satan
But I made The Covenant Of Peace with God!
I know not when The World may End
So I am just Praising The Lord!


Until My End, or The End, Comes, I am ...



Trusting in Almighty God for I've been
Washed in The Blood and
Covered by That Certain Hope which is
Steeped in The Blessed Word of Truth!

My Eyes are Fixed on Glory and I am
Walking by Faith on The Kings Highway where
I am Guarded by The Holy Angels
Comforted by The Holy Spirit and
Cared for by The King!

I am Singing The Songs of Zion while being a 
Watchman on The Wall and also
Giving heed to The Warnings In The Word and of
Those Few Faithful Stewards!

I am Sharing The Faith of Jesus and
Helping to Sound The Battle Cry and
Praying to God in 
The Matchless Holy Name of Jesus Christ
Forever Grateful for Grace and
Thankful for Mercy, and
Resting in Jesus' Peace, and 
Waiting Patiently for The Heavenly Call!

 Please ... Join Me!
