I Came Upon A Tree One Day In The Beautiful Garden Of God! It Was Lush And Large For It Had Been There For A Great While AND I Thought To Linger There To Contemplate The Word AND To Pray To The Living God The One Who Gave Me My Smile!
I Sat Contented BUT THENI Noted Something Strange! All The Other Trees Bore Fruit Save The One Under Which I Sat AND Truth Be Told That Made Me Rock Back ...!
An Unfruitful Tree?!
In The Garden Of God?!
That Is An Impossibility!
Could This Be
An Encumberer Of The Ground?!
I Got Up From There Quickly All The While Talking With The Lord Within Myself AND Trusting The Word Of The Living Book Of Life Took Thought Of What I - For The Kingdom - Was Doing Myself To Redeem The Time AND Recognize That The Days Were Evil AND That I Worked For The Divine!
I Was Pulled Up - Real Short - By A Sharp Jabbing Pain That Afflicted My Heart AND Made Me In Exclamation
Pray:
Father,
Forgive Me!
Please Give Me Another Chance!
Please Till My Soil
And Manure Me
And
Let Me ... Cherished
Grow In Grace
Just For A Little While
So That In The Harvest
I Shall Bear Good Fruit
Perhaps 30 Fold
60
Even 100 Fold!
You, Lord
Know The Truth!
I Am Willing - Work On Me!
I Am Willing - Pass Me The Crucible Through!
Keep Me Faithful - I Am Pleading!
Bless Me, Lord God Almighty
So That I May Bless The Living Kingdom
By Laboring To Bless Others
And
Bless You!
Forgive Me, Lord
For Celebrating
All The Wrong That I Did Not Commit
All The While As I Was Neglecting
Doing The Good Required Of Me -
I Should Have Been Laboring
As One Truly Faithful
Provisioned By Your Grace!
Please, Lord
Do Not Dismiss Me
Casting Me Out
As An Emcumberer Of The Ground!
Please Fit Me For Your Service
For
I Desire In The Living Kingdom
To Be Found!
I Love You, Lord!
I Need You!
I Seek You, Lord
In Godly Fear!
I Desire To Be Your Fruitful Tree
So
Prepare My Heart, Lord
For
For Your Faithful People
I Do Dearly Care!
I Yield Myself, Lord
To Your Heavenly Care!
The Heavenly Gardener Turned The Sod At My Feet! The Son Shone Light In My Heart! The Holy Spirit Rained Down Upon Me
AND The Angels Kept The Sin-Bugs Away AND Soon
Soon I Knew That In Me There Was Good Fruit A-Growing For I Could Feel Those Blossoms Poking Through!
Ouch! Ouch! Oww!
Time Flies ...
The Day Of Harvest Is Mere Moments Away AND Only Then Will I Know My Tally Of Production BUT Whatever It Is Of A Surety I Know That I Am Not A Tree Marked For Damnation's Destruction!
Take Heed To Yourselves All Ye That Are Trees In The Beautiful Garden Of God! God Almighty Expects A Good Harvest From One And From All AND It Is He That Knows Of Each Tree The Amount So
Heed The Call
ANDDo Your Duty
AND Bear Good Fruit AND Leave It To The Living God To Declare In The Harvest Celebration Your Just
D oubt! U nbelief! D isobedience! The Unholy Triumvirate Are Poised Dressed
Positioned AND Practiced Past-Masters At Sending The Seeking Sinner Man To The Not-Necessary Fate!
F aith! O bedience! B elief! The Holy Triumvirate Stand Pristine
Alert Urging Mankind To Take The Path Of The Truly Blessed For Known Godly Success!
DUD And FOB
Are
Two Three-Legged Stools Two Paths
AND Two Thought Schools
With One Successfully Leading The Unrepentant Sinner
To Damnation
AND One Successfully Leading The Repentant Sinner
To Salvation!
One Is Led By The Holy! One Is Driven By The Profane! One Lifts Up The Fallen! One Ties The Fallen With Chains!
One Blinds The Eye To Truth! One Lightens The Eye Through Truth! One Runs Wild
AND One Stands From Sin Aloof!
Look And See ...
Two Three-Legged Stools Two Deliberate Sitters-Down One Sits And Falls AND In His Own Filth He Crawls!
The Other One Sits ... Having Believed Trust's Call AND Is Succored By The Maker Of Us All The Creator Of The Blue Ball AND Is Renewed Day By Day Urged On By The Holy
No More With Sin To Play!
Behold Two Three-Legged Stools
ABND
Observe That One Two-Legged Man Standing Betwixt Two Thoughts In The One Valley Of Decision Listening Because He Hears Thinking Because He Has Real Fears AND WATCH As He Deliberately Makes His Choice Because He Harkens To The One True-To-Him Voice!
Which Voice?! Which Voice?! Is It DUD?! Was It FOB?!
He Chose The Choice Where His Freight Is Off-Boarded Where Doubt Unbelief Disobedience Are Egregiously Expelled AND The Still Viable Expressive Faith Of The Fathers Is Wittingly Willfully Wisely Expressed Not To Impress Doubting Shouters But So That The Soul
Is By The Holy God Blessed!
But ... What Of The Other ...
The Other That DUD Was Steamrollered By The Bold Beelzebub Who Takes Pleasure In Acts Of Unrighteousness Who Encourages Hard-hearted Men Against The Living God To Be Continuing-Sinners
With Love-Of-God Cold Waivering ... Ever Waivering Like A Wave Of The Sea Tossed Until Until Time Runs Out
Because The Cup Of Iniquity Is Filled Up AND The Soul ... Most Precious Is For Eternity ... Lost Because - Unlike The Convicted Converted Thief - He Did Not Trust
The Evidence Of The Lamb Of God On Calvary's Cross!
Hope In Jesus Christ For The Best! Know That Satan Is The Worst! So Shun The Devil AND Look For The Lord For Heaven At The Last Is Our Great Reward!
Walk In Wisdom! Foreswear Doubt! Look Upward Onward Do Not Turn About!
Behind Is Damnation! Ahead ... Glory Awaits! Do Not By Faith's Waivering Suffer The Devil's Known Fate!
Truth Is Our Banner! Faith Is Our Shield! Jesus Christ IS The Savior! In Humility Of Repentance To Him Willingly Yield!
One With God Is A Majority Victory! Two With The Devil Are Totally Lost! Reason With God Our Father And Trust The Living Word AND With Right-Thinking Decision Made Remember That Christ Died For You The Cross!
Day Is Dying In The West! Repent Of Known Sin AND
In The Name Of King Jesus To The Holy God Confess!
Our Father Will Forgive You! Our Forgiveness Is Sure! Look Upward To Jesus He Is The Way! He Is - To Heaven - Our Sure Open Door!
Since Prayer Is The Opening Of The Heart To God As To A Friend Then Our Communion With Our Almighty God Should Be An Intimate Conversation Special ONLY TO TWO Between Two About The Two For One Outcome!
Satisfied With The Communion The Seeking Heart Rests Content Pleased Thankful For The Soul's Resting Upon AND In The God Holy Where The Forever-Friend - The Companion -
Is Heart-True AND The Conclusion Is Hallowed Sanctified Blessed Causing The Mortal Heart To Break Into Singing A Joyful Song Of Praise Knowing That Its Confidante Does Not Turn Eternity's Wheels By The Whim Of Chance Nor By The Frail Constancy Of
Fretful Desire For Difference Called Necessary Change!
Our God Is The Constant Companion! Our God Is The Faithful One True! Our God Is The Living God Of The Ages Who Leads Willing Children Gently Along Life's Ever-Changing Stages!
He Does Not Indulge In Fitful Rages!
We Can Trust Our God Without Fearing That Failure Is On The Way Waiting Today AND If We Are Likewise Constant Enduring All Obedient To The Call AND Faithful We Will Be Victorious Against The One Whose Eye On Us Is Baleful!
My Brother My Sister Take Heed Today AND Offer Up Your Heart's Secrets When The Throne Of Grace You Approach As You Bow Before The Glorious Majesty In Prayer Knowing Of A Surety That Your God Holy For Your Soul Does Indeed Care!
Our God Sticks Closer Than A Brother For He By Personal Invitation Into Our Own Heart Does Lovingly Abide! In Him IS Our Being So From Him We Can Never Hide! Confide In Him, Brethren! Confide!
I Had The Decided Privilege To Be Born In The Era Where One Was Responsible For One's Own Actions! I Now Live In The Era Where It Is Acceptable Reasoning To Accuse Another For Causing The Bad Behavior That I, Myself - Unpaid Unforced Unaided - Perpetrate! God Help Us! It Is Time That Man From Sin Gets Himself An Acrimonious Divorce! If The Living God In His Living Word Says
How In The Name Of All That Is Holy Could Another Be The Cause Of What I - In Exercise Of My Own FREE Will And Choice - Have Done?
Note Whose SIN ... IT ... IS!!
If We Will But Look ... Closely We Will See ... Plainly The Very Hand Of Satan The Arch-Deceiver In This Very Posturing! Satan Has Pretty Much Accused The Almighty God For Causing Sin In The World Because The Almighty God Did Not Allow Satan Into His Private Counsels AND In Essence For Not Allowing Satan To Be Almighty God! Ergo ... Almighty God Caused AND Causes Sin! You Go And Kill Somebody Because Somebody Had Something That You Wanted AND Because That Somebody Would Not Give Unto You Their Personal Property They Caused You To Kill Them By Not Giving Unto You What Was Not Yours To Own But Theirs! Here Is The Phrase:
Idiocy ... Thy Name Is Human!
If Personal Ownership Of Sin Was Not The Right Thing In God's Sight Then There Was No Need For A Savior NOR A Need For Confession Of Sin NOR For The Living God To Be Faithful ... And Just To Forgive Us Our Sin AND To Cleanse Of All Unrighteousness! When Are We - As So Called Free-Thinkers - Illuminated Men And Women Of Vision And Wisdom Going To Buy A Penny Clue AND Become Men And Women Of Truth And Honest Integrity! You Commit Murder You Steal You Bear False Witness You Covet You Worship Idols You Dishonor Your Parents You Commit Adultery You Take God's Name In Vain You Break The Sabbath You Have Your Own Selves As God AND You Blame Others?!?! No! No! A Thousand Times ... NO!!
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
I Am A Sinner!
I Committed The Sin!
I Knew What I Was Doing!
I Was The Way To Life Forsaking!
I Bow My Head In Abject Shame!
My Heart Burns In Me In Sorrow!
I Dishonored My Holy God
And
Without Christ For My Savior
I Know That I Should Burn
But
You Are The God Holy
You Are The God True
And
I ... I Forsake The Way Of Damnation
And
Lay My Soul Down In Sacrifice
Before You!
Forgive Me, Father!
The Sin Is My Own!
I Acted Alone!
Please Accept My Sorrow
For My Sin
And
The Great Sacrifice
For My Forgiveness
As Paid For
By Your Beloved Son
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Did For My Sin
Did - Alone - Atone!
I Love You, Lord!
Have Mercy And Bless
And
Cleanse Me
From All Unrighteousness!
In Jesus Christ's Name
I Pray And Plead Help Me To Walk In Christ-Like Integrity!
Consecrated To God AND Dedicated To Self Were Raised By The Same Parents AND Lived In The Same Household BUT Attended Two Different Schools Of Higher Education AND Sung Different Tunes AND Walked Different Walks AND Kept Different Friends AND Spoke Different Languages AND Allegedly Served The Same God BUT With A Twist And A Diss!
The Twist Was That Consecrated To God Was Dedicated To God In All That He Did Said AND Thought AND The Diss Is That Dedicated To Self Had Consecrated Himself To Disobeying The Laws Of The Holy God AND Has Acquired A Following Much Like That Of The Fallen-Angel Fraud AND Is Working Diligently To Get Men Great And Small Rich And Poor Free And Bond To Worship At His Extensive Table Of Goodies Pretties Baubles Benefits Benefactors Beliefs Belly Bands Bows If's Then's But's Why's Whatfor's Wherefore's Therefore's Because's Wishcraft's Witchcraft's AND Whynot's!
His Solely-Self Business Was Booming AND His Personal Grooming And Perfuming Was Luminously Luscious Replete With Rare Aromatics Dedicated To Tickle The Nose AND The Fancy Of Those Who Throve On Hot Heady AND Patently Popular! He Was A Hot Shot ... Snot!
Well ...
As You May Have Probably Likely Figured Out Guessed Consecrated To God Being Consecrated To God Was Hardly Getting Any Play Around The Town!
Were Continually Continuously Conscientiously Tossed At That Consecrated BUT - Strangely Enough - He Seemed Unmooooved!
He Was As Happy As A Clam! He Was As Busy As A Bee! He Was As Quiet As A Church-Mouse AND He Walked With AND Unto The Living God Conscientiously AND He Visibly Vocally Confidently AND For All Men Carefully Cared!
He Chose To Not By Satan Be Snared! He Diligently God's Saving Truth Shared! He Held The Highest In Godly Fear!
These Two Brethren Were A Textbook Study Of Contrasts With Nothing With Which Their Conduct And Characters Could Be Compared!
One Had Character! One Was Characterless! One Was Resolute! One Was Running Baseless! One Was Honorable! One Was Vile And Careless BUT Both Sang In The Sanctuary Choir AND That Dedicated To Self Was The Head Of Personal Ministries AND Leader Of The Festival Choir! His Passion Was On Fire!
Brethren ...
Be Thou Ever Grateful That Day Runs Until Night Catches It That Onion Makes Exposed Eyes Tear AND That The Mighty God Makes Profligate Willful Sinners
- At Their Own Will's Choosing
No Matter How Late To Watchers It May Be - Humble Themselves In Godly Fear!
One Glad Morning At The Break Of The Dawning Dedicated To Self Dedicated Himself In The Mirror That - To Gross Even Grand Effect - Honorably To Complete Satisfaction Displays His Beloved ...god!
Dedicated To Self Was Pleased With His Prayers! He Had Given The Requisite Three Cheers!!! ANDTurning ... Just So To Gain The Full Effect Of The Vanity Flood Light Seemingly Positively Practically Turned To Stone Paralyzed Unable Even To Reach For The Customized Cell Telephone Whose Ring Tone Said:
I Am That I Am!
I Am!
I Am ... That I Am!
For Three Whole Hold-Him Days He Was There ... Alone! For Three Whole Scold-Him Days His Thoughts Were His Alone! For Three Whole Unfolding Days He Had To Hear His Telephone Snarkily Saying Singing:
I Am That I Am!
I Am!
I Am ... That I Am!
His Eyes Ran! His Nose Leaked! His Ears Itched! He Had Butter On His Teeth AND He Did Not Care For ... Now The Eternal God Had The Full Attention Of His Head His Heart AND All Two Ears AND He Could - No Longer Wilfully Blind - Could Could See With Unclouded Eyes That His Life Thus Far Was Foolish AND His Base Acts Against Great Grace Through Malice Were Totally Asinine!
He Held The Chalice!
He Almost Almost Almost Wished To Be Physically Blind For Then He Would Not Be Able To See What He Had Caused To Be Written In God's Remembrance Book Immortalized Against The Great Day When Men - Unrepentant - Will For Their Own Sin Thoroughly - Without Benefit Of Dear Mercy - Have To Have To Pay!
When He Came To Himself He Was Strongly Heard Saying:
"Idiocy ... Thy Name Is Man!
So Much For That Plan!
Down With Catch As Catch Can!
You Must Honor
The Glorious One
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Fallen Man!"
His Lesson Learned
Dedicated To Self Started To Teach! His Profane Goal Was Summarily Set Aside For Self He No Longer Did Reach!
His Clothes Had Done Been Scrubbed Washed In Salvation Bleach!
He Had Learned That Foolishness Is Not Sense AND A Wasted Life Is A Life Not Securely Spent!
Dedicated To Self - Reformed - Became One Consecrated To God AND That My Beloved Dear Ones Is One Less Soul For The Lost-Man Army Of The Great Fraud
So Let That Be Your Soul's Goal!
Dedicated To Self Now Consecrated To Saving The Soul From
Sin And Self Acknowledged That He Was Not Lucky BUT Blessed For In Hind Sight His Cup Had Been Half A Knuckle Away From Full AND Not Being - By God - Allowed To Breach The Brim Knew Of A Surety That His Next Step Would Have Been
- At The Appointed Time - Naked Lake Of Fire And Brimstone Swimming!
Grace And Mercy Met And ... Kissed AND Dedicated-Consecrated To God Is With
