WAXING POETIC: The Devil Is As A Mosquito!


Today I Am Waxing Poetic
And Shall Liken Man
To A Pool Of Standing Water
AND
Satan Is Likened Unto A Mosquito
Doing What Comes Natural Him
Laying Eggs
Wherever There Is Standing Water
Unless
There Is A Barrier Blocking Him!

Satan - To Standing Man - Is A Mosquito
Targeting
Faces Arms Hands
Legs Necks Feet
Unless
There Is Mosquito Repellant
Something Strong
Something Like Deet!

Are You Mad?!
Deet Is Bad!
It Kills The Mosquito
It Affects Your Body Systems
And 
It Alters The Atmosphere!

Yup!
Perfect!

Whatever You've Been Smoking
I Don't Want Any!

Bear With Me
And I'll Tell You A Truth!

Man Standing
Without The Oil Of The Spirit
Coming From His Insides
AND
Coating His Outsides
Is A Perfect Target
For Satan To Display His Bona Fides!

Satan Lays His Eggs
AND
In The Warmth Of The Atmosphere
In Due Season
Armed Mosquitos Take To The Air
Buzzing In The Ear
Stinging The Exposed Flesh
In A Manner We Cannot Bear!

But Mosquitos Don't Sting Every Body!

Very True!
And That's Because
THEY HAVE ... THE POWER!!

You're Too Funny!

Let's Just Say That
The People Mosquitos Don't Sting
Are Those Who Soak Up
The Words Of Life
Which Bring Power
From The King!

With The Words On The Inside
Outside Actions Are Changed
AND
The Stings
Those Fiery Darts Of The Devil
Have No Points
AND
Are No Contact Making!

Me Like That!

Wait! There Is More!

Those Persons Who
By The Devil Have Been Stung
Acquire An Aversion
A Hatred If You Will
AND
Off To The Store
- Jesus -
For Protection
They Run!

The Run
Is Their Repentance
For Sin
AND
Jesus
- Ever Willing -
Gives Forgiveness
AND
A Caution
A Warning:


Walk In The Light!
Wear Light Clothing!
Read The Book And Pray!
Invite The Holy Spirit In
And
Tell Others
How To Get Victory Over Satan
And
Sin's Stinging!

What About The Deet?

Deet Is Likened Unto The Holy Spirit
Who
Upon Our Invitation
Moves In!
It Changes Our Attitude
AND
Repels The Attitudes
AND
The Kinds Of Friends
We Were Heretofore Making!

Our Attitude Is Peace!
Our Hope Is Rest!
Our Fragrance Is Humility!
Our Guide In Heaven Abides!
Our Shepherd Is The King Of Love!
Our Grace The Great God Bestowest!
Our Manner Has No Caprice Within
AND
Satan No More Over Us Gloatest!

We Walk Right
Perfuming The Earth With Bright Light
Repugnant To Creatures
For Whom
Dark And Damp Gives Might!

We Are Free From The Marauders
For We Are No Longer Standing Indolent
BUT
Are Walking
In The Bug-Zapping Light Of Eternal Life
Insulated
From The Devil's Zap Yapping!

Alright Then!

So What Have You Gleaned?

If I Got Mosquitoes Get Jesus!
When I Receive Jesus I Get The Holy Spirit!
When I Get The Holy Spirit
I No Longer Get Bitten By Mosquitoes
Who Can Now Only Buzz
And
Like A Lap Dog
Impotently Bark
Making Its Voice Our Ears Annoy
But
Are Unable To Breach The Barrier
Break The Skin
And 
Putrifying Poison
Into Our Bodies
Pour In!

Responding To
AND
Leaning Upon 
The Indwelling Holy Spirit
Kills The Will To Sin
AND
The Atmosphere Is Not Pleasant
So Satan Cannot Enter In!




Don't Be Complacent!
And, Please 
Guard Your Heart
For Unwary Travelers
Will Be Stung 
While Walking Careless
In The Dark!

*********

Dress For Bed
But
Don't Take Your Shoes Off
Of Your Feet
And
Be Ever Ready To Depart
For The God Of Our Salvation
Did Not Place The Day Of His Coming
And Our Departure
On Any Calendar
Or Bus Chart!

People! Get Ready!

Belteshazzar's Feast ... As A Corporate Affair



The Companies Were All Gathered Together!
Business Cards Were Being Brandished That Day!
The Excitement In The Place Was Palpable
AND
The Minions Were Running Every Which Way!

One By One
Grand Titles Were Announced
Exchanged
Highlighted
Until All Had Been Identified
Save One
AND
Soon
The Room Became Quite Quiet
For A Company Title Was Necessary For All
So That The Business 
Like CLock-work
Could Be Efficiently Run!

The Supreme Leader Cleared His Throat
In An Officious
Official Manner
AND
Demanded To Know:

How Comest Thou In Here?
What Is Your Given Company Title?  
Care To Share?
And, Please Tell
Why Did Ye Not Cheer Like All For Uncle Billie's
Wild And Wily 
Corporate Raider Bears?

The Response Is Bold Quick ...

I Am On A Mission Of Mercy!
I Need No Company Title To Pose
But You May Call Me Servant Of God
For That Is The Only Position
I Need Or Hold
AND
I Do Not Indulge In Non-Beneficial Activities
That Are Instigated By The Fraud
To Defile
The Holy Vessels Of God!

There Was A Gasp!
A Roar!
Stunned Looks Of Consternation
AND
The Supreme Leader
Was Around His Gills Looking Quite Green
Then Red
As He Had A Fit Of Apoplexy
And Then
As He Came To Himself
He Became Vulgarly Mean!

His Tirade Was Blistering
Unkind
Evil
As He Dismissed The Living Word In The Bible
Denied The God Of Heaven
AND
Uplifted The Hand-Crafted Gods Of The Earth
AND
Spoke Dotingly
About The Rewards And Benefits
That Conforming Corps Men See
When They Play Ball
AND
When He Was Finished
With His Numerous Asides
All
Save One
In That Place
Were Roaring With Laughter
Wiping Their Tearing Eyes
AND
Holding Their Hurting Sides!

Well?!
What Have You Now
To Say For Yourself?

I Am The Servant Of God!
I Get Living Wages From You
For The Physical Work Of Labor That I Do
BUT
I Get My Rewards From The Holy God
Who Is Known To Have Made Me And You!

I Permit You To Rent My Talents!
You Own Neither My Conscience
Nor My Soul!
Your Rewards You May Keep
Or Give To Others As You See Fit
BUT
My Soul Is Anchored
On Christ The Righteous
And You
As A Leader
Are Truly Grossly Unfit!

You Know Right From Wrong
BUT
Truth In Your Eyes
In The Street Is Cast Down
AND
You Promise That Which
You Will Never Deliver
While Taking Pleasure
In Making Faithful Workers
In Your Presence
In Fear
Shiver!

Worldly Pleasures Don't
Can't Last
AND
Your Vile Pretensions
To Godhood
Show Upon Whom Your Lost Lot Is Cast
BUT
My Free Will Is 
By Almighty God
Free To Me
AND
I Choose That It Be
Inclined To Him Who
Rules The Universe Wide And Vast
Beyond What Lying Eye Can See!

Sanctioning Wrong
Does Not Make It Right!
Being Profane
Does Not Make Your Candle Shine Bright!
AND
Acting Inane
Does Not Make You
Any Less Corrupt And Vain
AND
Your Actions Show
That You Are Indeed
Undeniably
Insane!

AND

Using
AND
Abusing Man
The Purchased Vessels Of God
In Riotous
AND
Ribald Gaiety
In Honor Of The Fraud
By Denying The Holy God
Will Glean You No Blessing
In The Day Of Accounting
When You Are Raised From The Sod!

BY NOW ...

The Room Is Eerily Quiet!
Stunned Faces Are White!
The Supreme Leader's Knees Are Knocking
And He Looks Quite A Sight
For
He Has Been Found Wanting
For Every Word Uttered Is True
AND
There Is A Mass Exodus
As All 
Panicked
For The Doors 
Rush Through!

Brethren,
We Are Told:





King Belteshazzar
Bought And Paid For His Party Companions!
Dissension In The Ranks
In That Dispensation
Meant Sure Death!

Standing Up For Truth And Right
Against Might
Takes A Man Woman
Willing
By God's Grace
To Stand Firm In The Faith
AND
Put The Devil 
Decidedly In His Proper Place!

Our Working For Earthly Employers
Our Dependence On A Pay Check
Should Never Ever Be 
At The Expense
Of Selling Our Souls
To Achieve Corporate Goals!

From Personal Experience
I Once Had an Employer Tell Me
That I Was Hired To Work
Not To  ...  Think!

Hmmmm  ...

Beloved,
A Christian By Nature MUST Always Be Thinking!

Remember:

Be As Wise As The Serpent
And As Harmless As The Dove!
Our Father Is The God Of Heaven
AND
Our Only Command Performance
Is When The Bar Of God Opens
AND
We Must Explain Ourselves
In The Presence Of The Holy Spirit 
The Real Peace Dove!

Baubles Are Cheap By The Dozen!
Earthly Power Is Fleeting Always!
Damned Is That Wicked Devil
AND
All Who Wilfully Permit Him
On Their Blood-Purchased Souls To Prey!

Pray Without Ceasing!
Prayer Changes Things!
Put No Trust In Man
Horses Nor Princes
For The Living God Rules
AND
The Unbeliever
In His Holy Presence 
Of Necessity Winces!

Walk By Jesus' Faith!
Don't Live By Human Sight!
Satan Is The Devil
AND
Sowing Destruction 
Is To Him
A Glorious Delight!

So  ...

In The Name Of Jesus Christ 
Do Right
AND
The Love Of God
Will Give You Light
The Ever-Encroaching
Soul-Destroying Darkness 
To Valiantly Fight!

AND  ...

You Will Keep Your Conscience Clean
IF
On Jesus Christ
You Wholly Lean!



Parties Pass


But

Eternity Is Vast!


Aim For The Distance!

Real Salvation!





Almighty God
Used His Son's Blood
To Buy Us A Choice
To Exercise Our Voice
To His Holy Name Confess
AND
From Sin To Rest!

Morality!
Carnality!
Disloyalty!
Dishonesty!
We Do It All
Because Of The Fall
BUT
Now Is The Accepted Time
Where Real Salvation
We Shall Find
If We Choose To Walk Right
In The Light Of Him Who Is
Lord AND God Holy
Divine!

No More Play!
No More Delay!
Time Is Ticking Away!
Jesus Christ IS Risen
AND
Returning
AND
It Can Happen Any Day!

Pastors Popes
Priests Presidents
Prime Ministers
Prophets
AND
Princes Are Known Documented To Lie!
They Have No Fear
About The Sealed 
AND
Settled Word Of God
To Deny!
The Lord Said: 
Go!
They In Defiance Say:
Draw Nigh!
AND
They Believe That God
Is Their Servant
AND
Must Their Lying Policies Against The Gospel Truth
Eagerly Ratify!

We Are In Trouble!
Scientists Desire To Build
Asgardia Up In Space
AND
Citizenship Will Be Available To All The World's People!
Whoo Hoo!

They Believe 
AND
Act
As Though God Is An Idiot
Hence We Can Destroy
At Will
AND
Chase Into Space
AND
Rebuild
In A Learned Man's Race
Anywhere We Desire The Space
AND
They Are Encouraged
By Our Head Men 
Who
Taking The Place Of The Living God
Perform As Though
That True AND Holy God 
Must Take His Lowly Place
As We
- Just Like Bossman -
Rub Our Grand Achievements 
In His Uncomely Face!

Christians Are In Trouble
When The Pope Of Rome States
That Proselytizing
Doing The Will Of God
Grieves The Spirit Of God Away!
That Christians Aren't Christians
When They Are Not Ecumenically Bent
AND
That Our Not Setting Aside Doctrine 
For Brotherhood Shows
That We Are Indeed
Fundamentally Bent!

Christians Are In Trouble
When The Charismatic Pastor Says
That The God Of The Christian Bible
Is The God Of Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
AND
Ishmael, Too
AND
Crossing A Dread Line
Making God A Liar True!

Almighty God Hates The Abominations
Of All Idol Worshippers
It Is Plain
So I Don't Know How The Living God
Out Of His Own Mouth Can
His Own Word 
AND
Character Disdain!

Christians Are In Trouble
When The Pastor 
The Priest
Quotes The Bible Verse
Identifying Known Sin
AND
In The Next Breath Say
That Sin Is Okay
Because Living By God's Law
Is An Impossible Undertaking!
AND THEN
Saying
All Men Fall Short
Of God's Glory Every Day
So God Is To Us All
Love
Making
AND
Trying To Live Right
Is Us Merely Righteousness Faking!

God Is God!
Satan Is The Fraud!
AND
Self Seeks Satisfaction
By Denying Almighty God!

God Is Not A Man
That He To Us Should Lie!
God Is Not
A Boy In The Yard
That He
For Our Mere Trifles
Should With Satan Vie!

God IS The Lord
Sovereign
Over All That He Surveys
AND
Whether We Like It
Or Not
OR
Believe It 
Or Not
Obedience To His Will
Will Eternal Dividends
Pay!

Salvation Is Assured
To Obedient Believers Every Where!
Peace That Passes Understanding
Is An Eternal Benefit
That Only Disbelief Can Take Away!
Trust Your Salvation To None But
The Holy Son Of Man
AND
By Faith
Labor For Eternal Riches!
Do Not Run And Play
Satan's Catch As Catch Can!

Jesus Christ's Salvation Is Free

To Both Me And Thee!

It Depends On 

Mere Faith

AND

Not On What 

We Can Physically See!

Stand Upon The Rock!





I Draw My Life From My Jesus!
In Him
I Can Neither Wither
Nor Fruitless Be!
I Stand Upon The Rock Of Ages
AND
From Him
Flows Living Water Freely!

The Water From The Rock
Gives Life Unto Me!
My Foundation Built On The Rock
Gives My Life
Glorious Stability!
The Rock Is Reliable!
It Makes My Heart To God Pliable
AND
Makes My Hope For Heaven
In Jesus' Holy Name
So Much More
Than Merely Viable!

The People Of God
Must Understand
AND
Believe
That The Closer We Get To The Promised Land
The More Satan Will Us Try To Deceive!
Satan Is Well Able
To Tell The Time
In The Business Of Sin's Shut-Down Clock
Which Tells Him Of A Surety:

Bud, Your Time Is Just About Run Out!

Satan Is Desperate!
Satan Has Nothing To Lose!
Satan Is Fighting His "Good" Fight Of Self-Faith
AND
He Is Desperate To Destroy Anything
That In Jesus Christ's Love Is Bathed!

Self-Worship
- Iced With Pride -
Has Made The Vile Sinner
Rabid
Willing That Jesus' Saints
Be To Him Witheringly Denied
AND
If There Is Just One
That He Can Overcome
By His Dread Pursuit
There Is No Risk To His Own Final Outcome
For
Peace To Him Is Already Eternally Lost
AND
He Is Forever
By God
Rejected
Refused!

In Jesus
We Can't To Satan Lose!
With Satan
We Can't Anything From Jesus Win!
So ...
Since The Channels Are Clearly Marked
AND
No Human Will Be Able To Say:

I Was Regarding Sin In The Dark!

So We Had Better Know
Behind Whom We Are Holding Position
For
Without Jesus Christ
There Is No Hope
For A Blessed Eternal Position!

Let Not Satan
Poison Your Hope Tree!
Accept True Freedom In Jesus
AND
From The Gross Liar Flee!

Believe Not Satan's
Pretty-Tied Lies!
Give Your Back To That Dragon
AND
With Jesus Run
The Winners Race
AND
At The Appointed Time
When The Last Trumpet Will Sound
Walk Into Eternity
Singing Joyful Songs
Knowing That
Amazing Grace With Ever Be
The Heart's Favorite Song!


The Rock Is My Salvation!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Victory In Jesus ... With Prayer!




Belief - Obedience = Presumption




I Walked Into The House One Day
AND
I Was Saluted
By Guests
Sitting
Crowded
In My Big Comfy Chair!

They Were Guests Uninvited!
I Did Not Open My Door To Let Them Walk In
BUT
There They All Were
AND
Obviously Led
By That Fearless Wretch Self
AND
His Henchman 
Besetting Sin 
Dressed As A Cartoon Elf!

Besetting Sin
Self
Own-Way
Free-Will
AND
Choice
- As Workmen -
Had Cut Me
Squared Me About
AND
Often Chiseled Me
AND
I Had Had Me Quite Enough
Thank You, Very Much!

I Cried:
"Lord Jesus, Help Me!"
AND
Christian Resistance Walked In
Holding Hands With
Faith For Today
AND
Grace To Help ... 
MY. FULL. SHARE!

My Uninvited Guests
Grasped Hands!
Battle Formation
Being Their Stance
Ready
Willing 
AND
Seemingly Able
Their Diabolic Way To Advance!

BUT ...

The Living God
For Some Time Now
Had Gotten My Attention
AND
I Was Seeking To Become A Jewel
In The Kingdom Of Light
So I Knew
That Burnishing
AND
Polishing
Are Next Up
If I Am To Arrive Safe
In The Great Reward
AND
Not Left Outside
As A Useless Discard In The Night!

Dear Lord,
I Am Your Child!
I Refuse To Be A Bastard!
I Accept My Chastisements!
Please Keep Me Out Of The Kitchen Of The Fraud!

Father, I Accept That
Envy
Malice 
Covetousness
Evil Thinking
And
Evil Speaking
Must From My Character Be Culled!
So, Please
Help Me To Hold On
To My Beloved Jesus
For I Don't Want To Be A Workman Working
In The Vile Camp Of Satan 
Who Wants To Be Worshiped 
Like He Is The Eternal Holy True And One God!

Father, You Say
Who You Love
You Chastise
So I Humble Myself
For I Am Your Child!
Lead Me!
Guide Me!
Please Show Me How To Walk
Even Now As I Pray!
Pity Me!
Have Mercy Upon Me
For I Don't Want For My Own Sin
To Have To Ultimately Pay!

Lord, I Beseech You
To Make Me A Jewel
The One
That With Holy Blood
Innocent
You Sacrificed To Own!
Take Me, Dear Lord!
Make Me Yours
This Very Day
For
I Dare Not Walk By Myself 
All Alone!


I Opened My Eyes
- For I Heard The Noise Of Feet Walking -
In Time To See
My Not-Friends
Heading For The Door!
Then
I Looked To See
"Victory In Jesus!"
Spread Out
Like Lush Carpet
Covering
Windows Crack
Creases Crevices 
AND
The Closing Door!

I Again Bowed My Head
In Supplication
Over That Sin That Doth So Easily Besets
For I Know That Every Human
Has Got One
AND
It Must Be Conquered
If To Holy Heaven
We Expect To Get!

Constant Vigilance!
Constant Prayers!
Constant Communion With The Master!
Constant Reading
AND
Digging
Into The Holy Oracles
Of The Holy God
Are The Ways By Which
We Get Constant Victory
Over Those Things
That Would Rob Us Of The Joy
That Would Be Ours
IF
We From The Paths Of Peace Stray
Along Life's Way!

Lord,
Help Me To Lay Down
My Heavy Sin-Burden!
Help Me To Pick Up Your Yolk
For
You Say It Is Easy
And Your Heavenly Burden Light!

I Believe You!
I Love You!
I Trust You!
Be The Lord Of My Life!
Help Me, Dear Lord
My Cultivated Tendencies To Fight!

Crush My Hereditary Sins 
With The Truth That Is The Light!
Help Me To Fall On The Sword Of The Word
That I May Live Right In Your Sight!

Shield Me, Dear Father
For Dark Is Sight's Night!
Lift Me Up To Heaven
So That My Faith
Will Become A Glorious Sight
And
Seeing My Jesus
Will Indeed Be 
My Redeemed Soul's Delight!

Until The Day Dawns,  Dear Father
Let Contentment In Christ
Be My Corn
As The Wine Of Confused Babylon
I Daily Scorn!

Let The Holy Angels Guard And Guide!
Let The Holy Spirit In Me Abide!
Grant Unto Me Also
The Spirit's Sweet Fruits
And
Hide Me In Your Pavilion
So That I Cannot Become One 
Of Satan's Minions!

Father,
You, The Eternal One
 Are My God
And I
By Jesus Christ
Praise You!
Please Lead Me Home To The Great Reward!
AMEN.
