GROSS EFFECT: Effet?!

Church Was Dandy!
The Preaching Was
Smooth-Things Candy
AND
Everybody
AND
His Brethren
Desired A Taste
AND
As You'd Expect
Sugary Truths Had An Effect
AND
Effet
Took Over
The Whole Juiced-Up Place!

I Don't Know Nobody
In Our Congregation Named Effet!

Me Neither!

I Know Every Single Solitary Person
In This Church
And There Is No One Called Effet Here

So You Are A Bla... Common Liar!

Keep Your Shirt On!
No Need To Get Aggressive!

I Have To Get Aggressive
Becausen You Say
That Some No-One-Knows-Them Person 

Has Taken Over
My ... Our ... Church!
The Nerve Of Some People!

Testy! Testy!

Any Whooo ...

Macey ... What Are You Talking About?!

Sunday-Gone Week ...

... Effet Is Not A Person Person!
Effet Is A Personal Spirit
AND
I Saw
I See With My Own Two Burning Eyes

AND
Have Experienced In My Own Still-Tingling Skin
The Net Effect
Of Bold Effet!

Cut To The Chase, Mace!

Yeahhh!
Kill The Cloak And Dagger Stuff
And Get To The Point
Without All The Fluffy Stuff!

Very Well ... .

Greed For Gain
Be It In Power Or Position
Has Been
Is 

Hijacking This Congregation!

Look At The Current Motions:

Envy By Yvette
Fault-Finding By Friendly Fran
AND
Evil Thoughts Expressed By Every One
On Each Other's Motives!

Effet Is Effective
Because
Its Inputs Appear Obscure
BUT
In Accumulation
Effet's Effects Explode!
Of That ... I Am Sure!

Love One Another!
Love As I Have Loved You!

Is What The Master Said!

In Love

Hope Is Never Dead
BUT
Effet Brings Hopelessness
For
It Is The Spirit
Of The Spiritually Dead
AND

It Comes Of The Adversary
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Who
Our Fall From Grace Lead!

I Knew It!
I Knew It!
I KNEW IT!

What Did YOU Know?!

... And If You Knew What You Knew
Why Did You Not Say That You Knew?!

I Knew Something
That Should Have Been Right
Was Seriously Going Wrong
But
I Could Not Put My Finger On It
- It Was An Undercurrent -
So I Was Going Along
To Get Along!

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Going Along To Get Along
IS
The Sure-Fire Recipe
For Assured Disaster
AND
In The Church Of The First Born
The Church Of The Risen Christ
THAT
Should Never Be
For
Christ's Righteousness Ones
Do Not Put On Sin-Patching Plaster!

Envy Is Of The Devil!
Fault-finding Is Devilish, Too!
Evil Thoughts Are, Too, Devilish
AND

Should Never Be Characteristics
Found
In Those Of The Heaven-Bound Crew!

Effet Was Found In Heaven
In Proximity
To The Eternal God's Throne
AND
God Did Not Tolerate It
AND
Its Progenitor
No Longer Had A Heavenly Home!

Effet Was In Eden's Garden
Effet Was In The Promised Land-Bound Throng!
Effet Was In David's Kingdom!

AND
Effet Is In Effect
Right Here
In Our Congregation
In Our Very Own Home-Town!

Brethren, I Am Pleading!
Let's Put This Idolatry Away!
Let's Return To The Faith
The Plain Faith Of The Fathers!
Let's Stop Cherishing
AND
Put
Envy
Fault-Finding And Having
Evil Thoughts
About Another's Motives
From Us
Far, Far, Away!

Let's Judge Righteous Judgments
For
Undercurrents Of Evil
Cause Good People
From The Right Paths Of
The Holy God
To Vainly Stray Away
AND
As Can Be Seen
Through The Stream Of Time
Bitter Is The Stew That We Boil
When Effet Is The Meat
That Our Gross Vanity
- By Devilish Inspiration -
Buys!

Effet Is The Currency Of The Accursed!
Brotherly Love Is The Coin Of
The Kingdom Of Love!

Look To See

Seek To Feel

Get To Know

AND

To Avidly Spread
The Good Of The God-Blessed Difference
AND
Let God's Grace
Working In You
Be Daily Revealed!

Now Is Not The Time

For Candy-Induced Sleep!

Lord, Help Us!

It Is Time To Awaken From Drugged Sleep!

We Still Have A Job Of Work

For The Living Kingdom To Do!

Indeed!

Amen!

STAGECRAFT: Life-Raft ... Jesus!

If The World Is Just A Stage
AND

Men and Women Merely Players 

Then All God Had To Do
Was Give The Bit Players Their Measly Pay Checks
And Let Them Go
- Eternally Lost -
For Their Stellarly Mediocre Performances
AND
Save His Only Begotten Son
The Torturous Pain Of Ignominious Death 

For A Bunch Of Ingrates
Who Daily Indulge
In That Terrible Crime Of Mind Death

For Following Satan's Click-Bait!

Wow! I See Where You're Going!

It's Not A Path Pretty
But It's True
For In Earthly Understanding
Lousy Scripts
Poor Directing
Pedestrian Casting
Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Actors 

Inappropriate Costuming
Bad Lighting
AND
Sketchy Props
All Work Together To Make The Play Performed
A Colossal Flop

From Bad Reviews

AND
Resulting The Termination Of Actors
AND
The Shutting Down Of The Franchise Permanently 

For It Cannot Be Saved!

Investors Will Want Their Money Back
AND
The Principals Will Seek To Do Damage Control
BUT
The Chairman Of The "This Is It!" Board
- Having The Final Word -
Will Say:

"Trash It All! 

There Is No Saving This Play Today!"

Hit Men Are Dispatched!
Targets Try To Hide
BUT
Since This Scenario Is Devil Drama
All Are Caught
AND
Terminated ... With Extreme Prejudice
AND
Another Batch Of The Wannabe-Famous Start Rehearsals
For

The Self Same Play Motion Picture Circus Block Buster
That Is A Loss Leader
For The Hocked-Horse Feeders!

Do You Smell Sulfur?!

I Smell A Set-Up!

Tell Men The Grand Lie! 

Yup!

Man Live! Man Die!
There Are No Options!
There Is No Teacher Of Stage-Craft!
There Is No Investor Relationship!
There Is No Reemergence From Neither A Technical Foul
Nor A Clinical Fall!

There Are No Study-Buddies
To Help With The Learning Of One's Lines 

AND
There Is No Wardrobe-Master Extraordinaire
To Attire One To Perfection
For
The Opening Of The Perfect Play!

It's Sad When You Don't Know
That The "Trusted" Prop Master
Is The Licensed Glorified Fraud
That The Writer Of The Script Is A Known Pain Junkie
AND
All The Backers Are In On
Flip The Script ...!

... When You Don't Know
That Ringers Are Cast Members
AND
Certified
Card-Carrying Demons To Boot
AND
Big Boy Basil
- The Fixer -
Is The One Who Gives The Signal Always 

The Player Station To Savagely Loot!

I Thank God
- The Living Loving God -
For Being Real
True
Faithful
Kind And Divine!

I Am Thankful That This World Is Not Run
For The Benefit Of Demon aka
Angel Investors
Who Loot And Boot At Will
By Whimsy!

I Thank God For The Lord Jesus Christ

Who Loves Us
- You AND Me -
Blood-Bought Real!

I'm Thankful For
The Plan Of Salvation
The Good Book Of Blessings
The Legacy Of The Old Saints
Who Before Passed This Way
AND
I'm Thankful For The Institution Of Prayer
The Indwelling Holy Spirit ... Teacher
AND
The Influence And Protection Of Holy Angels
Who Help Me Walk
On The Straight And Narrow Way!

I Thank God For Truth
For Present Grace
For Evident Mercy

And For Coming Glory!

I Shall Be Eternally Grateful
For
The Good News
The Gospel Story!

I Hear THAT!!

Let's Go And Tell Someone The Truth!

Yes! Let's Give Satan
The Lost-Himself-A-Heart Attack!

Let's Blow!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Shiloh's Balm: In Gilead

There Is A Balm In Gilead
Compliments Of The Shepherd Of The Soul!
There Is A Balm In Gilead
For All Who Will To Be A Part
Of The Safe-Sheep Fold!

The Eternal God
The Heavenly Father
Made A Promise To Man:

Health Is The Reward Of Obedience!

Honor Me

And

You Will See None Of The Diseases

That Afflicted That Egyptian Land!

Modern Men
With The Minds Of Know-It-All
Fallacious-Thinking Thinkers
Have Decided
That The Non-Existent God
Is Cruel And Unkind
AND
Is The One Responsible
For All Sickness And Suffering
AND
Is The Reason That Man Is On The Decline
AND
They Refuse To Believe
That Contractual Obligations Exist
Between God And Man
AND
Are Predicated Upon
The Exercise Of The Free-Will Shake Hand!

The Saying:

"Do Good And Good Will Attend You!"

Is The Same As:

"Obey God And Disease Won't Offend You!"

Mankind Has Determined
That Reasoning From Cause To Effect
Is
- In This Case -
Inappropriate
AND
- Belligerently -
- Indolently -
- Ignorantly -
Does The Care Of His Own Soul Neglect!

Of Note Is The Fact That
Heredity
AND
Generational Curses
Afflict All Men In This Day!
God Said It!
Believe It!
AND
Choose To Do Things In
The Living Holy Eternal God's Way!

Do Not Be Presumptuous!
AND
Do Not Call The Living God A Sadistic Fraud!
Choose To Know Him
Who Intimately
Aka Molecularly
Knows You
AND
Choose To Honor Him With Faith
Love
Trust
AND
Unerring Obedience
For
He Is The One Who Says:

If You Die In Me

I, To Eternal Life

Shall 

- In The Appointed Day - 

Raise You!

Death Is In Our DNA!
So Are Illness And Disease
BUT
All These Are
Can
Will Be Mitigated
WHEN 

We - In Humility -
In Repentance For Known Sin
Say:

Father, Forgive Me!

I Confess! 

I Repent! 

Bless Me! 

Bless Me, Please!

I Have Left Sin's Wide Tent!

Do Not Follow Fashion!
Unattach Yourself From The Twisted
The Twirling
Goat-God Rope
AND
Affix Yourself
By Faith
Obedience And Belief
To The Only One
Who Is Not The Salvation Thief!

Only Dead-In-Sin Men Hold On To Inanimate Gods!

Hope Thou In God!

He Is Your Soul's Creator!

Hope Thou In God!

He Is The One True Friend!

Hope Thou In God!

He Is The One Who Holds Tomorrow!

Hope Thou, Dear One

In The Living God!

HAPPY SABBATH + THE LIVING WORD: A Fool For Christ!

The Living Word Is A Banner
An Anchor
A Plate!
The Living Word Is A Script
- Utilized -
With Which
We Can Escape Our Just Fate!

Many Are The Naysayers
The Talking Heads
The Illuminated Ones
Who Know
- With Precise Consideration -
That The One To Trust That Script
Is The Atomic Fool
Who Walks Alone
... And They Are Right!

Back It Up, Big Bro!

Wheel And Come Again!

Explicate That Station!

Keep Your Shirts On, Fellas!

Let's Think About This:

If Your Friends Are On The Team
Or In A Clique
AND

You Are Not
What Are You Considered To Be?!

Strange!

Special!

A Loner?!

A Loner!

Don't forget Idiot Aka Foolish
For Not Wanting To Belong To The Pack
The Group
The Troop!

So ...

With This Is Mind

Consider The World
AND

His Brother
Walking With The Devil
In High Heels
With Manicured Nails
Posing In Aviator Glasses
Drinking Cognac Label Black
Talking Smack
AND
Inhaling Crack

AND

You

- Back Bent To The Gospel Plow -
Walking In Worn Mountain Boots
Alone
With The Lord
Eating The Bread Of Life
Drinking The Water Of Life
Sober
Aware Of The Adversary
Vigilant Against Sneak Attack
Instant Constant In Prayer
Protected By Good Influence Angels
Indwelt By God's Holy Spirit
Repentant For Sin
Acknowledging Your Need
Expecting The Savior To Be Your Redeemer
Speaking Peace
Looking For Miracles
Expecting Rain In The Desert
Trusting An Unknowable God
Believing 

The Sky Shall Unfold

The Dead Shall Live Again
Man Redeemed Shall Have Wings
And Be Immortal
And Shall Visit Worlds Unknown
Using Their Own Wings
And Walk On Streets Of Gold
And Eat From A Twelve-Fruit Monthly-Bearing Tree
Meet Adam And Eve
Hold The Eternal God's Hands
AND
Live For Ever More In Eternity
On The Earth Made New
While Retaining A Mansion
In New Jerusalem
The City Of God
With 12 Gates Each Made Of A Single Pearl
Set On A Twelve-Level Foundation
Of Twelve Different Precious Stones
BUT
Before That
Living Way Up In Heaven
Judging Angels
And Understanding 

How The Lord Saved You From The Second Death
AND
Not Needing To Sleep For 1,000 Years
After Jesus Christ, Himself 

Serves You Dinner
AND
Gives You A New Name
On A White Stone
AND
Gowns You In A White Robe Of Righteousness
AND
Puts Stars In Your Christ-Presented Gold Crown
AND
Prevents You From Ever Growing Old
AND
Then Permitting You To See God Set Down New Jerusalem 

On The Earth
AND
Splitting The Mount Of Olives In Two
Creating A Valley Resting-Place
AND
Thence To See
Satan
AND
The Evil Dominion
Obliterated
When The Great White Throne
Rises Above The Eternal City
AND
Then
Heaven And Earth Made Anew ...

... Stop! Stop! STOP!! 

Enough Already!!

You Made Your Point!

Do you Believe God?!

I Do!

Do You?!

I Do ... And Proud Of It!!

Sooo ... What Does That Say About
Our Intelligence Quotient?!

Quite A Lot Actually!

I'm A Fool... For Christ!

Nooooo!

Yes!!

Atomic Fool To The World ...!

... And Living It!

... And Loving It!

Praise The Lord!

Thank You, Jesus!

Hallelujah! 

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

PRAYER ... Of Faith!

Oh, Father
I Come!
I Desire To Know You, Lord
Out Of A Heart Filled With Love
Running Over With Thankfulness
And Marked
For The Courts Above!

Help Me To Express My Thankfulness
By Willing Obedience Each Day
So That My Love, Lord
For You Is Ever Made Clear
Whether I Am In Sorrow
In Want
Filled
Or In Seeming Despair!

Father,
Because I Love You And Trust You
I Bring To You This Petition Today
I May Not Know The Right Words
But I Know The Spirit Will Make It Clear!

I Desire The Faith Of The Fathers
Anchored In Love And Trust
That Faith That Knows  No Doubt
No Shadow Of Turning
That Will Not
When Tested
Take The Route Turn-About!

Father,
I Desire Of You That Blessing Of Faith
Which Can Take Hunger
Sorrow Disappointment
Delay
Opposition Acrimony
Vexation And Fret
Able To Respond With

Dear Father,
This Day
This Hour
This Moment
This Battle Is Yours!
Satan Is Knocking
Please Go Before Me
- You Are My Champion -
Please Answer The Pest At The Door!

Father,
I Believe That You Are
The God Holy
And
I Give My Heart To You Solely!
I No Longer Have Patience With
Nor Desire For
The Frivolity Of The Tents Of Wickedness
Nor For The Idleness Of The Cavaliers 

Of The Caravans Of Base Foolishness!

Yesterday
I Walked On The Wild Side!
An Hour Ago
I Trusted You ... Cautiously
But Now, Lord
In This Season Of My Discontent
With The Ways Of This World
I Am Pleading, Lord
- With Passion -
Please Keep Me In Your Court

For I Want Nothing To Do
With The Wilfully, Wily Ways
Of The Damned Goat Herd!

Remember The Children
The Mothers The Dads
Remember Those Deluded
Who With Cadaver Parts
Their Noses And Nether-Parts Pad!

Mark Well The Graves Of The Faithful
Who For Truth And Right
Have Been Cut Down
And
Shore Up The Faith Of Those
Who
By Satanic Sleight Of Hand
Are Before Gross IdoIs
Prostrated
Falling Down!

Lord,
Right Is Wrong!
Good Is Bad!
Light Is Dark!
Bitter Is Sweet
And 

The World Desires The Truthful
The Faithful
The Homeward Bound
Committed To Christ
To Drink Babylonian Milk
Drawn
From Hog And Dog Teats!

Pity, Lord, Your People!
Help Us From The Abominations
To Turn Away
Unmindful Of The Fallout!
Help Us To Earnestly Do The Right
For You Are Our God
The One Holy
And It Is You
To Whom We Daily Repair
And 

Importunately Pray!

Grant Us Your Grace
Your Peace

And
Your Rest
For In Love You Promised!

Please Come Soon!
We Desire To Abide
In Our Homes Prepared
In The Mansions Above!

We Would See Jesus Christ In Peace

In Whose Name We Plead!
AMEN!

Are You For The Creator God?!

Question For The Multitude...

IF God IS For Us
Who Can Be Against Us?!

AND

By Way Of Contrast
IF God IS Against Us
Who Could Possibly Be For Us?!

Which ... In Turn
Begs The Question:

Why Would Any Human Being
Want The Living God To Be Against Them

AND

What Would We Have To Do
To Cause God To Turn Against Us?

AND

By Way Of Another Contrast ...

What Can We
OR
More Properly
What Should We Be Doing
To Ensure That The Eternal God
IS
Ever For Us?!

Striking Examples Of Both States
Are Clearly Revealed In The Living Word
AND
All Who Are True Members Of 

The Class Of Christ
Would Do Well On These Cases 

To Be Well Versed!

If We Go To The Generations
Of Those Men
That Were On  The Earth
Early Birthed ... And Onward
We Shall See:

The Living God For Abel
Seth
Enoch
Noah
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
Moses
Joshua

AND

The Living God Against Cain
Nimrod
Esau
Pharoah
Nadab And Abihu
Achan
Balaam
Hophni And Phineas
Sisera
King Saul

All Who Against The Living God
Stand Up In Arrogancy 

AND

Selfish Pride
Willful Disobedience
AND
Witting Defiance 

Shall Strive Against A Course Wind
AND
Shall Flounder
Wander Aimlessly
AND
At The End Of It All
Abjectly Fail
BECAUSE

The God Of Heaven
Is Not Trifled With
Nor Can His Desires Be Derailed!

Now, Take A Moment And ...

Look At Two Peculiar Cases
Three:

Nebuchadnezzar
God For - God Warned Him Of His Impending Fall!
God Against - God Denounced Him For His Prideful Idolatry!
AND
God For - God Restored Him To Prominence 

After His Chastisement And Repentance

AND

Public Acknowledgement Of

The Sovereign Will Of The God Of Heaven!

Shepherd Warrior King Prophet David
God For - God Called Him From The Sheep Fold

AND

Elevated Him To King
God Against - God Denounced Him And Chastised Him 

For His Sin With Bathsheba 

AND

The Murder Of Her Husband Uriah!
God For - God Restored Him After His Confession And Repentance!

Pharisee Saul Called Apostle Paul
God Against - God Blinded His Eyes For Persecuting Jesus Christ

AND

The People Of The Faith
God For - God Gave Him Spiritual Eyesight

After His Repentance And Conversion

AND

Gave Him A Great Ministry To The Gentiles 

For The Salvation Of Souls!

Understand This ...

He Who Dances With The Devil

And

Acts Snide Against The Lord Christ

Also Dines With The Devil

AND

Clearly States That

Their Life Will Not Be Lived

For

Nor In

Christ The Lord!

Be It Made Known
To All Men Of The Dust
That THAT Action
Against The Holy God
Is Indulging In
Unwinnable Strife!

In This Act
There Is Only

The Eternally Lost Soul Reward!

We Shall All Do Well
To Carefully Study
The Case Of Job
Who Said Of His God
- The Creator God -
The One Eternal:

Though He Slay Me
Yet ... Will I Trust Him!

Since God IS ... For YOU
Not Life
Not Death
Not Storm
Not Marauders
Not Hell
Nor The Machinations Of
The Damned Devil
Can Separate Us
From The Love Of The Lord Jesus!

The Promise Is Given
To All Who CHOOSE To Believe
That The Eternal God Is Faithful
ANDThose Who Trust And Obey
Will
The Blessing Of The Promise
On The Appointed Day
Receive!

Trust God And ... Grow!
Obey God And ... Know
That In The Day Of The Appearing
The One Faithful
Shall To The Living God's Holy Heaven
Triumphantly Go!!

I Believe!
Do You?!

Grace

Is Our Food!

Mercy

Is As New Wine!

Faith 

Is A Fair Wind

Trust 

Is A Sound Boat

Obedience 

Is A Whole Oar

AND

Love Of And For God

Is Our Sheltered Shore!

PRAYER: Father, I Know That You Hold My Hand!

Father,

I Am Willing To Follow You!

Lead Me!

I Am Willing To Walk!

Guide Me!

I Am Willing To Learn!

Teach Me!

I Am Willing To Speak

So Please Grant Me Utterance

And

Be With Me

To Guard Direct

And

Correct Me

Even As I Endeavor

To Do As You Bid Me This Day!

Father,

I Desire To Be A Child

After Your Heart!

Help Me To Daily

- Hour By Hour And  Moment By Moment -

Rely Upon You

The Holy And Eternal God!

I Desire, Lord

The Will

To Let Your Spirit

My Very Soul Fill

So That I May Follow

Your Blessed Directions!

And, Father

When I Sin

- Never With Deliberation

Or Presumption - 

I Pray For That Spirit

That Permits Me To Accept

Reproof And Correction!

Father,

I Willingly Acknowledge

My Known Sin Against You

The Holy God

And

I Humbly Beg Your Pardon

And

I Ask You

To Help Me Not To Again

Commit The Sins Of Yesterday

For

I Desire To Grow

In Saving Faith Through Grace!

In Your Word, Lord

You Say That 

Rebellion Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft

And

Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry!

Pity Me, Lord

And

Make Me Anew

And

Cleanse Me From Those Things

Which Will Keep Me

From Walking To

And

With You!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Sacrifice

My Faithful Trust In You

To Guarantee My Personal Safety

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, I Plead

For I Truly Know

That You Do Indeed Hold My Hand!

I Love You, Lord! 

Please Have Mercy

And

Continue To Bless Me

According To Your Will

And

In Your All-Knowing Way!

AMEN.

No Need To Fear!

A Rebel ...
A Rebellion
Always Has A Host

BUT
The People Of God
Are Always Few
AND
This Should Be A Lesson
To Those Who Name Christ
AND
Call The Living God Their Own
That Neither Might
Nor Power
Does The Battle Win
BUT
It Is The Spirit Of The Lord
That For Us Faithful
Does The Victorious Fighting!

God IS For His Faithful Ones!
They Do Not Walk
Nor Fight Alone
For God
Creator
Sustainer
Healer
Leader
Rock Of Offence
AND
Defence
Sees All
Knows All

AND
Is In All
AND
Is Life's Traffic Ably Directing!

Do Not Trust In Men!
Do Not Trust War's Weapons!
Do Not Trust Your Eyes!
Do Not Trust What Carnal Minds
- Ever Sinful -
Evilly Devise
BUT
Place Your Trust
Willfully
Wittingly
Conscientiously
Truthfully

AND
Faithfully
Knowing
That The God Of Grace
- Holy -
Already Has Your Victory In Place!

However  ...

Dear Brother
Dear Sister
Dear Friend
Let Not The Sin Of Doubt
Be A Part Of Your Undertaking
For
Doubt Will Be Your Undertaker
AND
The Very Devil
Will Be Your Decked-Out Hearse
AND
Lost Will Be Your Condition -
Please Do Not Live
Like The One Accursed!

Jesus Christ Is The Captain

AND
The Commander Of The Faith Ship!
Hear Him!
Obey Him!
Trust Him For Your Victories
- Your Win Against Sin -

AND
Do Not Turn Aside To Idols
Nor Go Back
- Like A Dog -

To Your Vomit!

Stand Firm
In The Unyielding Faith
Of Christ Jesus
AND
Glorious Heaven
- In The Great Day -
Will Be
Your Great Reward Pay!

By Faith ...

Put Your Foot Forward!
Put Your Shoulder
To The Salvation Plow!
Eat The Bread Of Grace
AND
Drink From The Cup Of Mercy
AND
You Will See Life Clearly!

Drink Greedily!

Eat Hungrily!

AND

Live

With Hope Everlasting

Starting ... NOW!

Trust The Living Word

AND

Grab Hold ... By Faith

Of

 The Outstretched Hand

Of

The Holy Jesus

Who Is Our Way To Life

AND

Nothing Will Pry You Free

- What He Has He Holds -

For He Is Our True

AND

Only

Salvation!

**--**--**--**--**

A Heart Beating For Jesus

Will Never Wander To Sin

Like A Grazing Cow

Wanders After Green Grass!

EASE AND PROSPERITY: Costs vs. Payments!

Suicidality
Homicidality
Mania
AND
Degeneracy
Are Conditions Wrought
In Ease And Prosperity!
Spare Yourself That Fate!

There Is Discontent In Contentedness
AND
There Is Contentedness In Discontent
AND
Ease Brings No Satisfaction
For The Carnal Soul Always Wants More
AND
More

Is A Commodity
Not Bought Bartered Nor Sold
BUT

Lives With The One Careless
In The Care
Of Its Own Soul!

Oh, That The People Of God
Would Recognize
That Real Danger Which Lies Between
Ease
AND
Prosperity!

Oh, That They Would Recognize
That There Is Real Blessing In Trials
For They Do Bring
- If With Grace Faithfully Met -
Real
AND
Lasting
Spiritual Prosperity!

Man Was Never Created

To Live A Life Of Useless Ease!

Of Note
Are Two Cases
That All Committed-To-Christ Christians

Should Know:
The Case Of King David
AND
The Babylonian King
Nebuchadnezzar
Of Old!

Both Were Men Of Ability
AND
Wisdom
I Tell You

AND

Both Were Felled
By True Creature Comforts
Which, Prior
Had Been Out Of View!

Lust Of The Eye
Lust Of The Flesh
AND
The Pride Of Life
Are The Means Whereby
Many A Capable Frugal Man
Has Been At Their Personal Waterloo
Felled
AND
If We Will Take Note
Of Sodom And Gomorrah, Too
We Will Note Of A Surety
That Idleness
AND
Fullness Of Bread
AND
Unkindness
Was What Cast Them All
Into A Visible Burning Hell!

Brethren,
Look Around You
AND
Behold Those Who Live At Ease
No Morals
No Moral Compass
AND
A Surfeit Of Killing Disease!

There Is

No Heart For Another
No Love For The Holy God
A Penchant For Putrid Pastimes
AND
Willing Fraternization
With The Greatest Of All Times
The Rebellious Goat Fraud!

I Was Taught While Still Young
By A Respected Employer
That If You Want Work Done Right
Hire Someone "Hungry!"
Someone Lean
Someone Who Has The Will
For Survival
For Accomplishment

AND
Not Someone Who Had It All Seen
AND
Was "Fat And Flourishing!"

AND
With Nothing Left To Attain
AND
I Took That Lesson To Hear
Added It To My
"Willing To Try!"
- Given By My High School Teacher
As My Character -
Name!

Let's Get Our Priorities In Order!

I Say To All Of Us ...

Beware Of Rabidly Seeking After
Physical Prosperity 

AND

Personal Ease
For
In The Capture
You May Find Your Soul
Death-Dealingly Diseased!

I Also Say To Us All  ...

Approach Getting Into The Living Kingdom
As Would A Shark
Going After His Daily Meal!

Be Single Minded
AND
Act

With Proper Consideration

AND

Zeal!

Prioritize Your True Prosperity
AND
Wait

AND

Faithfully Work Patiently
For The Eternal Ease Of Pleasant Work

- Old Things Will Have Passed Away -

For
Now Is Not The Season
To Be Fat And Foolish
For
Satan Is Waiting
To Savage You
To Cut You Off
From Salvation
By Getting You Prostrate Before Him
To Make You Grovel On Your Knees!

The Love

Of

Ease And Prosperity

Cost

Lot's Wife Her Life!

**--**--**--**--**

The Untrammelled Desire

For

Earthy Ease And Prosperity

Negates

The Need For Jesus Christ

In Your Personal Life!

**--**--**--**--**

Look-Back Syndrome

Will Never Cause

A Sinner

- Supposedly Saved -

To Salvation

To Fly!

Don't Buy The Lost Liar's Lofty Lie!
