TRUTH: What Do YOU Know?

Let Us Therefore Confess Our Sins
AND
Repent
AND
Be Baptized
For
Reconciliation and
Regeneration are
Requirements
Before The Soul
Can Make The Grand Appearing
As
The Saint Saved 
In
The Eternal God!

IF
We Believe
That We Are In Christ
The Old US 
Performs
The Act of Disappearing
AND
The Man Made New
By The Earnest Hope of Trust In The Lord
Becomes The New Man
By Faith
With 
The Advent of The Holy Spirit's Indwelling!

The Faithful Walk By Spirit Faith
Not By Carnal Seeing Eyesight
And He Trusts
That By His Having Reasoned With God
That Jesus Christ Holds Him
- Not That Deceitful Old Fraud -
And He Walks In The Light
From The Light of Love
Who Gives Life 
AND
Confidence In The Coming Day of Rewarding!

Believers -
You Dear Brethren
Who Trust In The Lord -
Look Not At Your Situation
Created by King Fraud!
Look To Jesus
The Author Finisher Of Our Living Faith
AND
Boldly Tell Old Satan:

"You Have No Part In Us!

Our Jesus Already Won For Us This Race!

We Are Wholly Saved By The Living Eternal God!"

Believers In Jesus Christ
Do Your Soul A Favor
And Paint This Little Picture In Your Mind:

Since Christ Has Already Won US Our Crowns
Satan Is - In Essence -
Trying To Run-and-Board Us 
Such As Would A Left-sided Two-legged Dog 
Against An Arabian Stallion 
In An Uphill Climb!

It Ain't Going To Happen!

The Point Is: 

If 

We Trust Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 

and 

His Holy Words of Promised Blessings 

and 

Redemption 
and
Continue Walking Faithfully

-  in The Fullness of God's Time - 

We Can't Lose, and Satan Can't Win!

BELIEVE 

1/2 of What You Hear 

and 

0/0 of What You See!


*******

Men Lie!

and

Eyes Deceive!

*******

Trust God!
and
Trust In God!!

When Blessings Curse! + PRAYER: Make Me Chaste!

Elisha  Was To Gehazi A Blessing
But He Turned 
And Did Gehazi Mortally Curse!

This Situation Is Not Peculiar
AND
It Is Not To Mankind A Pioneering First!

David Had The Lord's Blessing
But His Eye Caused His Blessing 
To Work For Him A Curse!

BUT ...

The Man After God's Own Heart
Repented of His Sin
After Lusting After and Laying With What Was Not His!

David Lied 
AND
An Innocent Man Was Murdered
AND
An Innocent Child Died
BUT
By His Deep Shame and Remorse
His Blessing-Turned-To-Curse
Was By The Blessing-God
Reversed!

A Blessing Is Not To Be Taken Lightly!
One Must Examine From Whence It To One Came!

A Lightly-Esteemed Blessing From God
Will Be Besmirched By The Fraud
When Our Consuming Greed 
Insists
That We Are Entitled To Have More
Because: 

"We Are Truly Blessed Of Almighty God!"

and

"We're Too Blessed To Be Stressed!"

God Blesses!
God Curses!
God Blesses and Curses
AND
God Has Set Before Man
The Blessing
AND
The Curse!

So ....

Don't Play The Arrogant and Entitled Fool!
Don't Let Yourself Be To Satan A Ready Tool
For
God's Wrath Will Leave
You Bothered And Hot
AND
That,  My Friend
Is Really, Really, Not Pleasant
Nor Close To Being Cool!

NOTE TO SELF:

Receiving 

A "Blessing" 

From An Accursed Source

Is Not A Blessing!

Its Receipt Will Cause You, Too, To Be Accursed!

Look Upon Those 

Who Have Been "Blessed" By

"Lady Luck"

and

Have Received 

Reams and Streams of Big Bucks

Only To Find Themselves

Holding A Pack of Inedible Nuts!

The Living God's Blessings 

Appear Trivial

and

Insignificant

To This Dying World!

Ignore The World's Baleful Benedictions!

Hold On To God!

God's Blessings

On The Faithful 

are

Beneficial

and

Infinite!

N.B.: What The World Means To Us For A Curse

Becomes A Blessing In The Hands Of The Child Of God!

PRAYER:

Father,

Make Me Chaste

and

Cleanse This Life

Of The Gross Greed Within!

Bless Me, Lord

For I Have The Need

and

I Beseech You

To Help Me

To Keep My Hand In Yours

So That In The Great Day

You Will Take Me Safely Home

To 

Heaven's Blissful

Peaceful Shores!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN

PRAYER: Lord, What Is The Use...!?!

Lord, What Use An Earthly Crown

When With It The Heart Has No Song?

What Use Is The Palatial Home

When All Who There Abide

From It Ever Roam?

What Use Is The Classic Ride

When With It Is No Trustworthy Guide?

What Use The Big Show

When The Eye Has No Heavenly Glow?

Father,

I Love You!

I Honor You Today

Tomorrow and

FOREVER

No Matter What The Detractors Say!

I Have Proved Your Worth To Me!

I Know, Dear Lord, That You Are Real!

Let Me Not Be Discomfited

By Those, Lord,

Who Are Vindictive, Vulgar and Mean-spirited!

Father, I Lay My Burdens At Your Feet!

Please Grant Me A Blessing

and

Let My Rest At Night Be Sweet!

Let Me, By Your Mercy

Cling To You

BUT 

Not Out Of Fear!

Let Me Cling To My Soul's Lover

And Not, Lord, To The Lying Other!

When You Kingdom, Lord, Shall Come

Remember Me, Lord

AND

Of Your Glory

No Matter How Little

Grant Me Some!

AMEN.

I Met A Man Who Blesses Me!

I Met A Man
Really!
I Did!
He Was Awe-inspiring
And Under His Influence I Slid!

I Met A Man!
He Blessed Me
With A Blessing
Which Stressed Me
And Distressed Me
And Depressed Me
And Made Me Behave As Though 
Old Satan Possessed Me!

I Met A Man
Who Blessed Me
With A Blessing
That Did Not
Upfront
Monetarily Impress Me
That Did Not Socially
Express Me
That Did Not
Politically Profess Me
BUT
Being Holy
Did Wholly
Spiritually
Possess Me!

I Met The Man!
The Man Who Understands!
The Man Whose Love For Me Is Awesomely Grand
And Who Died
So That I Could Reach Heaven's Table Land
To Sit and Eat At God's Banquet Table
AND
To Immortal
Redeemed Stand
For Having Accepted
The Free Offer
In The Free Salvation Plan!

I Met The Man
The Son of Man
AND
Neither My Eyes Nor
Emotions
Could Ingest Nor Express
The Beauty Before Which I Stood!
He IS Good!

I Took Him At His Word!
I Listened And
Accepted As He Made Record
Of His Blessings and Bounties
Holy
Available
To Those Whom
With Him
Walk In One Accord!

I Met God!
I Met God's Son
AND
I Met God's Holy Spirit
Which
After The Meeting
Of Those Worthies Plus Me
Took Up - By God's Grace
Residence In My Heart Place
Jealous For My Soul
To Succeed
To Arrive
At The Heavenly Goal!

I Have Met 
AND
I Have Communion and Consort
WITH
Jesus Christ!

Have YOU Met The Son Of Man?!

Have YOU Met The Great I AM?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: To Some, Some People Are...

To Some,  Some People Are Garbage:
To Be Swept Up
Washed Away
And Removed From Sight
As In:

"Get That Trash Out Of My Eye-sight!"

To Some - Some People Are Cargo:
Batch Them
Number Them
Pallet Some
Containerize Some
Transport All
AND
Warehouse Them All Until
AFTER
The Artificial Shortage Has Been Created
To Inflate The Value Of Them All

AND, THENCE

To Some - Some People Become The Commodity:
Package Them
Prettify Them
Knockout or Bid Price Them
AND 
Put Them On The Market
To See How Many The Gross and Grasping Groping Public Will Grab Of Them!

To Some - Some People Are Just Dough!
Knead All
Stretch Some
Tie Some
Fill Some
Roll Some
Bake Some
Boil Some
Burn Some
Drop Some
Dust Some
Oil Some
Decorate Some

AND

TO SUM

To Eat What Is Desirable
To Cast Off What Is Unwanted
To Dispose Of What Is Inconvenient To Use

AND

To Destroy What Is Made Of Dough Now Refuse!

BUT ...

To The True And Living Holy God

ALL People Are Precious
For
For Them
Jesus Christ Gave His Own Life
AND
His Spilled Blood
Makes Them Unquenchingly Valuable
Unique
Special
Worthy - By God's Holy Measure
To Save!

Soooo ...

If You've Been
Commodity
Garbage
Cargo or
Dough
Please Know
That To God
That IS Error
Demonic
AND
Just Not So
For
His Son
The Son Of Man
The Holy Spirit
AND
The Father, Himself
Participated
Cooperated
To Save You
By Providing The Salvation Plan
AND
That Plan Is Particularly Peculiar
For
It Cannot Be Over-Ridden
Neither By The Devil
Nor By The Satanic Machinations of 
Corrupt and Wicked Man!

You, Dear One, Are A Jewel In God's Crown -
Uniquely Valuable AND Irreplaceable!
So Stand Up
AND
Take Your Place
No Matter The Inspired Desperation Of 
The Wicked
To Mar Mark Your Beloved-By-Jesus Face!

GOD RULES

IN

THE AFFAIRS OF MEN!!!!

TRUTH: God Loves AND Satan Hates What God Loves!!

God Can't Love You Less!
Satan Can't Hate You More
AND
Faith Is The Key
That Unlocks Heaven's Mercies
And Its Made-of-Pearl Gate Doors!

Because You May Hate God
It Does Not Mean That God Hates You!
BUT ...
If You Love God
Know For A Fact That
Satan Despises and Hates You!

God Hates Sin!
God Loves The Sinner!
Repent and Confess Your Sin
AND
Be Present At 
God's Saints' Welcome Home Dinner!

God Love Is Not Blind!
God's Love Can See!
God Loves Us Nevertheless
AND
No Surprise
God's Love Is Free!

God Loves You!
Satan Hates You!
BUT
No Matter The Hate
To Sin  ... Satan Cannot Make You!

God Could Bend Your Will
But He Won't!
Satan Would Bend Your Will
But He Can't!

God Is God Is Real!
Satan's Plan To Be God Is Stale
BUT
Don't Go Facing Satan
Believing You Can't Fall
For Without God As Your Shepherd
You Are Nothing More Than 
Satan's Cheap Bouncy Ball!

God Loves!
Satan Hates!
Soooo ...
Learn Ye The Difference
Before Your Expiration Date!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Tetra Pac Lego God + PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me!

I Made An Amazing Discovery!
I Had Put My God 
In Cut-To-Fit Pieces 
In A Foil-Lined Box
Preserving Him
For Those Occasions 
When
He Would Save Me From 
A Real Or Imagined Attack!

My Mind Was Broad
AND
I Had "Created" A 
Specialized
Elite
Proficient 
God Force!

-- I Get Chills When I Think Of 
The Myriad Gods That
I Had Fashioned For Myself! --

I Had Fashioned:

A Special-Occasion God!
An Emergency God!
An "I Need A Favor!" God!
A Ready-To-Listen To My Complaints God!
A Sounding-Board God!
A Pat-Me-On-My-Back God!
A Save-Me-From-My-Self God!
A God-To-Be-Ignored-As-Convenient God!
A "Pity Me - I'm Your Child!" God!
And On and On!

Do You Get The Picture?!

This Was Idolatry!!

Well, It Finally Dawned On Me
That All Of These 
Different Occasion Gods' Requirements
- Per My Self -
Were Really Wearing Me Down To A Nubbin!

There Had To Be A Better Way!
There Had To Be A Better Way To Pray!

There Had To Be A Better God!

There Had To Be A Better God Who Has More Say!

What I Needed 
More Than Anything 
Was 
The All-Seeing
The All-Knowing
The Ever-Present
Almighty
True
Living
Eternal
Holy
GOD!!

I Proceeded To Have Me A Think
AND ... Lo!
AND ... Behold!

Did Not God Just Say:
"Call On Me 
AND 
I Will ...!"

SHOW YOU

The Great
The Mighty (Marvelous)
What You ( I and Eye!? ) Don't Know!

He Did Not Say He Will "Snow" Me!

PRAYER:

Father,  I Owe You An Apology

For Believing In A False Theology

Which Caused Me

To Indulge In Great Folly

Forgetting That You Are The God Holy!

Father,  I Take The Position Today

That The World And Its Deceits

I Will No Longer Attention Pay!

I Will Recombine You

To Your Rightful Estate

AND

I Will Cast My Lot On You

AND

You Will Then Be Responsible For My Fate!

Forgive Me,  Father

For Letting My Lack of Faith

My Lack of Understanding

My Unwillingness To Believe
AND

My Seeming Inability To Trust

Make You Less Than You Are To Me!

Father, 
You Are My God

AND

Come What May

In You  - The Holy God

I Will Wholly Trust!

I Love You,  Lord!

AMEN.
