I Wonder If The Learned Ones Even Understood/Understand What It Was/Is That They Were/Are saying! If The Statement Was/Is Understood, Did/Do They Perceive The Gravity of The Indictment? Did/Do They Care? Is Not "I AM" The God of Heaven?
The Arch Deceiver Is Mixed Up In All Of This For Sure!!

QUESTION: What Is It - According To Popular Psychology - That I Am? My Words Speak To Who I Think I Am! My Actions Show Who I Am! My Habits Make Me What I Am! My Character Broadcasts The Truth of What I Truly Am! AND ... My Destiny Is Where My Character Formed By My Habits Occasioned by My Actions Actuated by My Words Inspired by My Thoughts Led Me!

Time Marched On ...

Hello?!?! Too Good To Be True?! Probably!! What Did I Have To Lose? Okay ... I'll Give Him A Chance ... We Walked In a Beautiful Garden We Held Hands and Gently Walked Along He Spoke of A Life Filled With Sacrifice But Said that With Him I Will Never Be Alone! He Spoke of The Longing In His Heart To See Me At Peace in His Rest I said: "I Have Known Many Regrets! How Come You Can Speak of Blessed Rest!" He Told of The Years He Had Been Pursuing Me As I Roamed From Pillar To Post Looking, Longing, for A Resting Place But Ignoring Him Because of His Homely Face! He Told Me His Name - It was So Grand Jesus Immanuel Prince Holy Lord His Father Is Of The Ancient Days His Kingdom Is Glorious And He Said He Sought Me Out For He Believes We Could Will Be In One Accord! We Sat In The Shade of a Grand Cedar A Crystal Stream of Water Running By The Gentle Wind Sung Of Angels' Wings One Could Hear a Hum And He Proceeded To Give Me Full Disclosure Not One Thing Was Left Out Of The Sum! I Will have a Mansion Home In His Paradise I Will be a Princess of The Realm I Will have Guardianship by "Excellent Angels" and I Will Wear White Linen Robes and A Gold Crown! Oh, My!!
One Day He Gave Me A Beautifully Bound Book And He Read Me The Most Amazing Poetry From a Segment Called Solomon's Song. I Am His Rose of Sharon And His Banner Over Me Is Love! I Am His Love and His Fair One! My Heart Is Full for I Am Beloved and I Am Glad! BUT ... Before I Will Enjoy The Heavenly Pleasures: I Must Walk Worthy of His Undying Love For Me I Must Repent of All My Wicked Yesterdays I Must Believe That He Is True To His Living Word I Must Have Faith That He Unwaveringly Loves Me I Must Turn My Back on The Vanities and The Vexatious Things of Earth I Must Walk Holy - His Name IS Holy! I Must Study To Show Myself Approved I Must Have Faith I Must Not Trust In The Things That I Can See I Must Trust Him and In Him Even When I Don't See Him, and I Must Set Aside The Titillating Trifles Offered By Stan The Old Fraud! Huh!??! How Did He Know Stan?! Are You God?! He Smiled ...
How is it that we Find it so Easy to Trust Man Born of Woman, but find it so Difficult to Trust The Good God who Made The Man and The Woman? How is it that we Put so Much Faith in a Relationship with a Faithless Human Being but Find it so Very Hard to Trust Him Who is Ever Faithful? How is it that we Trust The Profane and Doubt The Holy? Why are we so Lacking in Faith when The God of All Grace Shows His Hand Time and Again as The Great Physician, The True Provider, and The Loving Shepherd, The Faithful Friend? Why is it that Our Faith Is Not Increasing? Is Our God Really Real? We are Not Called to Blind Obedience! We are Called to Reason with God - there will be not one Soul in Heaven who gets there "Just Because...!" We are Called to Know God through Jesus Christ! We are Called to Repentance! We are Called to a Saving Knowledge and Faith in Jesus Christ! We are called to Trust and Obey God! We are Called to Walk by Faith and Not By Sight! We are ... CALLED! If we Say we Love God, then we MUST Trust God which, by extension, means we MUST have Faith in God!
We have Heard The Word - The Word is Truth!
We have Faith in The Word Delivered
BUT
We Doubt The Giver of The Word
Who is Himself, THE WORD!
This Does Not Compute! RECALCULATING ... "Sanctify them through thy Truth. Thy Word is Truth!"John 17:17 DESTINATION RE-CALIBRATED ...
Live in The Light
Walk by Faith
Distrust Eyesight
Pray for Provision of Peace, Rest, and Quiet Night
Keep Heart Focused on The Father
Don't fall for Satan's Hoaxes
Dismiss Christ Deniers and Man-made Gods as Liars and Lies
Time is Coming When Believers will be The High Fliers And Unbelievers will be The Gut-wrenching Criers!
After Much Ado about everything Wrong, Iffy, Annoying, Distracting, Disturbing, Sinful, and Oppressing and Depressing in My Life - and in The World - I have Decided I Cannot Really Live Without Waiting on The Lord! I Cannot Do Much to Help Myself! I Cannot Wake Me Up Without The Master Holding Me Up, so There's No Doubt That My Life without Him Would be a Major Muck!
My Eyes Serve ...
Meals My Stomach Can't Digest!
My Mouth Writes ...
Checks That My Person Can't Cash!
My Carnal Heart Yields ...
A god That My Now Saved Soul Can't Worship!
My Feet Have Walked ...
The Path that Can't Lead to Heaven!
My Faith-In-Jesus-Sense Tells Me ...
That What I Oft' Hear For Gospel Is Pharisee Leaven!
So, In Short ... Without The Master - I am Tempest Tossed! Without The Savior - There Is No Payment of My Costs! Without Belief - Faith is Milk Froth! Without Faith in Jesus Christ ... I Am Forever Lost!
Note to Soul:
Self Worship is Idolatry!
Self Praise is Vanity! and
Self Pleasure is Not Even A "Thing!" Go Against All Worldly Wisdom and
Get Right with Jesus Christ!
Know The Shepherd - Get in The Fold Otherwise The Hereafter Will Be Very Hot - Not Cold! TRUST GOD ... NO MATTER WHAT!
My Mouth Just Simply Dropped Open! My Heart did a Flip Flop! And I said to My Self: "Lord Almighty, I Sincerely Hope Not!" I had Always Believed that I went to Church to be Healed! I Obviously did not Understand that it was a place to have my Senses Tickled and Teased! They spoke of all The Feelings that would be Experienced on my Skin But I, what I really Need is to Feel Jesus Christ Within!
What's Wrong With Christianity Today?
Churchianity
and
Preachertainment!
The Church Building is a Production Facility! The Sanctuary is The Sound Stage! The Preacher - as Entertainer - is The Star of The Show! Opening Acts of "Worship" Dancers and "Anointed" Singers Set The Mood! The Congregants are The Paying Public! Tithes and Offering are Box Office Takings, and Almighty God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit are Popular Freaks in The Side Show! Jesus said: "I Am come to seek and to save that which was lost ...!" Preachertainer says: "Lost! You haven't got any reason be lost! You do love Jesus, don't you?! Then ... You Can't Be Lost!"
Jesus said: "Repent!" Preachertainer says: No need to "repent" like those Sinners in the World!" God made you that way! You are just being who God made you to be! You are not hurting anybody! Plant a Seed, and just move along - it will all work out at the end!"
Jesus said: "Confess your sin. I am Faithful and I will forgive you!" Preachertainer says: "Sin is just ... well ... subjectively objectively subjective! (You know he is a liar! ... And he is calling God a liar in double-speak!) To Sin is to be Human! God knows you love Him! God knows you, and He loves you no matter what you do! He sees you and He knows your weaknesses, so it's all good! Just keep praying and repenting, and paying your pledges, and it will all work out!" N.B.: If something is Objective it is Fact! - Almighty God calls Sin by its True Name! If something is Subjective is is Opinion! - Our Reclassifying Sin Doesn't Change God's Designation!
Based on the foregoing, can we say that The Popular Pastors, Priests, Teachers and Prophets of today, are au fait with The Oracles (Word) of God? Can we say that The Popular Pastors, Priests, Teachers and Prophets of today understand that The Oracles (Words) of God are alive and are not to be interpreted according to Man's own choosing? Can we say that these Men and Women of The Cloth are True Shepherds, sincerely seeking after the Salvation of Men's Souls, and that they are teaching and preaching the Undiluted, Unadulterated, Unvarnished, Unbiased Word of The True and Living God?
When Jesus Christ was upon Earth, never once was it told anyone to come and EXPERIENCE God! Never once in The Holy Scriptures are we told to come see The Gospel a/k/a The Good News EXPLODE! If this is all true, why is it that this Laodicean (Luke-warm) Church that Jesus Christ, Himself, PROMISES to spit out of His Mouth, deem it totally relevant, and a prescription, that this Church - totally offensive to God - make itself and it's works seem Rich, needing nothing from God, when it is abysmally poor in Spirit, with its shame nakedly exposed, and its nakedness shamefully laid bare, and is blinded by the accoutrements of corporeal complicity, and waxing fat, and gross on gain-saying gold!? If we are truthful, we will see that this Church Age is pontifically pitiful, and positively putrid in its preaching for profit and praise!
