HAPPY SABBATH + Mustard Seed, Mountains And Mole Hills All Matter!







The Selfish Will To Sin
Is The Wicked Agent Of Satan
BUT
Is No Match Against
The Surrendered Will To Salvation
In The Consecrated Servant Of Christ
Because Of Very Simple Reasons:


  • Faith ... In The Finished Work Of Jesus Christ On The Cross
  • The Belief ... In The Word That What God Says He Will Do, He Will Do
  • The Trust ... That The Promises Of God Are True Because Of The Spilt Blood To All Who Will Believe
  • The Hope ... That The Faith Of - And Given By - Jesus Will By Faithful Endurance Of All Things In The Name Of Jesus Become Sight And Satisfaction For The Servant Of Jesus
  • The Sure Foundation ... Of Blessed Truth - Personally Proved - Upon Which He Stands
  • The Comfort ... Of The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding
  • The Assurance ... That He Is Never Alone
  • The Known Love ... Of The Revealed King Of Love
The Unrenewed Mind
- Devoted To Self -
Is No Match For
The Revived And Reformed Soul
Devoted To The Lord Jesus Christ
Who Is The Way
The Truth
The Light
AND
The Life Of Man!

The Difference Is Simple 
To The One Who Wills To See:

The First Sees Self
AND
Looks Inward
BUT
The Second Sees The Lord Christ
AND
Looks Upward!

Faith
- The Size Of The Mustard Seed -
Can Move Mountains
Aka
Cause The Hand Of Almighty God 
To Work For HIS Faithful Servant!

Presumption
- The Size Of A Mole Hill -
Motivated By The Sinful Doubt Of The Faithless Heart
Causes Satan To Work Mightily 
For The Destruction Of The Soul Of
HIS Deceived Agent!

Cherished Truth
- In The Inward Parts -
Elucidates
AND
Elevates The Believing Soul!

Cherished Error
- In The Inward Parts -
Deludes
AND
Decimates The Doubting Soul!

Both Souls
Are Loved By Their Creator
BUT
Only One Is The Winner
In The Upward Walk To Eternal Life!
Only One Is Seeking To Save His Own Soul!
Only One Is Making Highest Heaven
His Soul's Only Goal!

Oh, Selfish One!
Oh, Doubting One!
In The Hour Of Your Trial
Will Your "Master" Heed
Your Urgent Call?!
Will He Hold Your Trembling Hand In His "Mighty" Hand?!
Will He Comfort Your Quivering Heart In His "Constant" Heart?!
Will He Draw Your Bobbing Head To His "Steady" Shoulder
Or Will He Depart From You
Leaving You Alone
As One In The Grave ... Dead?!

Did Your Master-Not-Jesus Pay Your Bride Price?!
Did Your Master-Not-Jesus For You Make The Way?!
Did Your Master-Not-Jesus Make The Ultimate Sacrifice
AND
Is He Even Now
Making For You
An Eternal
AND
Heavenly Place?!

In The Coming Great Day Of God's Vengeance
In The Day Of Things Small
Will You Have Permitted
Your Run For The High Places
For The Big Things Of Pride
That Satisfy Flesh And Eye
- But Do Not Bring Everlasting Life -
To Cause You
- Unrepentant -
To Lose Out On Gaining
Eternal Life
With Our Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
With Whom You Refused To Walk
Daily
In Accord?!

Brethren,

The Day Is Soon Spent
AND
The Summer Is Almost Ended
So, Please
Let It Not Be Your Lot To Say:

Alas, We Are Not Saved!

Now Is The Appointed Time!
Now ... Is The Day Of Your Salvation!
Your Sins Are On You As Scarlet
BUT
Jesus Christ Can Make You Clean
AND
White ... As Snow!

Your Known Sins May Also Be Red Like Crimson
BUT
Jesus Christ 
Can Make You As Wool
AND
Fit
By His Father To Be Seen!

I Beseech You ...

Please Do Not Let That Wicked One
Who Can Never, Ever, Go Back Home
Stop You From Returning There
For
Eternal Rest
By Reason Of You Neglecting
To Use Faith
To Use The Call-Home Prayer-Phone!

Oh, Thou Child Of The Dust
Give Unto Christ Jesus
Your Selfish Pride
Your Carnal Lust!
Give Him All Today
For
There Is No Other Way
To Come To The Father
Because
By Said Christ Jesus
Is The Only Way There
Made Perfectly Clear!

Ye Who Are Weary Of
The Life Of Sin And Doubt
Come Home To The Lord Jesus
AND
In Glorious Celebration
Sing And Shout:

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!


Hallelujah To The Lamb
Upon Whom I Do
All
My Sins Willingly Throw!

At Last!
I Am ... HOME!!

PRAYER: Lord, Please Haste The Glad Day!

Lord,
I Cannot Help But Love You!
You Are To Me The God Holy Faithful Ever True!
You Are My Hope
My Blessing
And
I Want To Live Forever With You!

I Am But A Child
So Please Teach Me
To Walk In the Way Called Truth
And
Please Bless Me With Wisdom's Understanding
So That I Will Be A Blessing To Others
Old And Youth!

Father,
The Ways Of The World Are Most Distressing
Even Though They Are Held Up As So Much Fun
And
Great Play
But I Don't Find It All Amusing
And
I Beseech You
To Help Me Keep It That Way!

Often, Lord
I See A Wandering Brother
Sister
Caught In The Straight Betwixt Two
And
My Heart Goes Out To Them, Father
Because I Know For Sure
That They Are Looking For You!

Bless Me, Lord
With A Blessed Though
Bringing To Promised Remembrance
The Living Word Of Hope Help Healing
That I Have Read And Heard
So That I May Share
With The Longing Soul Caught
In The Wild Goat Herd!

Father,
Satan Is, Indeed, Raging
And
Doing His Dread Work
Enticing The Unwary
To Ultimately Do Upon Them
His Destroying Work
And
I Beg You
I Beseech You
In Jesus Christ's Name
To Make Me An Instrument
For Your Blessed Kingdom
To Point The Way To Salvation
So That Your Holy Spirit
Will Get Another Soul Away
From That Lying One Who Profanes
The Holy Name!

Remember Us, Lord, In Mercy!
Pour Out Upon Us Your Grace
And
Bless Us With Spiritual Ears
To Hear The Holy Spirit Calling Our Name!

Bless Us Also With Hearts Of Flesh
For The Lord Christ To Enter In
And
Sit Down To Sup With Us
As We In Joy
Sup With Him!

Help Us To Ask In Faith For The Outpouring
And
The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
And
Help Us Not To Fall, Dear Lord
To The Belief
That Living Faith Has No Work In It!

Teach Us Your Way
And
Help Us To Walk In It!
Lead Us To Green Pasture
With Living Water Running Through It! 

Anoint Our Heads With Oil
And
Let Our Cup Of Blessing Overflow
And
Keep Us Until The Great Day
When Our Redeemer
We Shall Face To Face Know!

Bless You, Lord
We Love You!
Bless You, Lord
We Give You All Adoration And Praise!
Bless You, Lord
For Our Souls' Salvation!
Please Haste The Glad Day
For
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Offer Up Our Worship And Our Humble Prayers!
AMEN.

Our God - The Living God - Is Forgiving!





Clear Light And Bright Rays
Are Identical Twin Offspring Of
Living Faith
AND
Godly Example! 
They All Work Diligently
In The Dear Master's Vineyard!

Blessing
AND
Power
Greatly Attend Their Efforts
To Do A Good Work For Their Lord!

I Can Tell You Though ... 

There Had Been A Time
When That Could Not Be Said Of The Parents
Because
Real Selfishness
Great Inward Wickedness
AND
Outward Spiritual Precision
Attended Aka Dogged
Their Way!

They Looked Real Good
BUT
They Weren't!
Their Walk And Their Talk ...!
It Was Just Plain Sad.

For Them
Doing Right Had Simply Been 
An Obscure Blip On A News Reel!
Being Right Was Good For Reward
AND
Living Right Was Not As Important As
Living In The Gardens
The Closes
The Terraces
AND
The Heights
For Close Communion
With The Way Agents Of King Fraud!

They Knew A Lot About The Living God!
They Spoke A Lot About The Eternal God!
BUT
They Did Not Know The Faithful God
Until
One Fine Morning
After Breakfast
AND
Before Lunch
AND
In A Cross Between
Balaam's Ass Speaks
AND
Saul-Paul's Blinding Experience
They Willingly Gave Up
Their Hearts
- Heretofore Unsubdued By Daily Grace -
AND
- Truly Repentant Of Their Past -
Accepted The Great Commission
AND
Started Walking
In The Wise One's Ways!

There Was No Overnight Success!
There Was No Instant Sensation Of Supreme Satisfaction!
There Was No Great And Glorious Public Applause
BUT
There Was Much Humble Praising
AND
Praying From Them
AND
Rejoicing In Heaven
For
The Sinners Returning To The Father's House
Their True Home!

They Had Heard
THE True Word
AND
Had Seen THE Living Light
AND
Had Caught The ONLY Train To Glory
By Getting Off
The Wave Of Sin
Once Upon A Time
A Thing Sure To Delight!

Their New Life Is Neither Accident
Nor Happenstance!
Their New Life Is The Result Of
A Deliberate Decision
To Step Off Of Doing Wrong
AND
Get On To Doing Right
In The Holy One's Sight!

To The Devil Dogs, However
They Had Committed High Treason
By Walking Away From The Pleasures Of Sin
That Only Last A Season! 

To The Prince Of Peace
They Were
They Are
 The Reason That
He Had Given His Life!

To The Eternal Kingdom
The Kingdom Of Light
They Are The Prize
That Was Worth Shiloh's Life
AND
Praise God
His Soul Is Satisfied
For
They Are Now Faithfully Doing ... The Will!

Brethren, 

What Is
Cannot Forever Continue!
The Press Of What Was
Will Be Felt Again Until 
- Repentant -
We See The Light!
What Shall Be
For The Faithful
Is In The Hands Of The God Eternal 
AND
He Desires To Share It
With You And With Me!

Will You Accept The Call
AND
Change Your Ways
So That
- By The Grace Of The Living God -
You Will Be Redeemed
Glorified
Immortalized
So That At The End Of The 1,000 Years
In The Heavenly Realm
You Will See The New Heaven
AND
The New Earth
AND
Live The Glorious Life
That Will Never End?!

Just Say:

Yes, Lord!

AND TODAY
Right This Very Moment
Really Start Living
Because
Our God
IS
The Holy God
Just
True
Faithful
AND
Forgiving!


I Am Walking
By Faith
On The King's Highway!

Please Come And Join Me!

ONE: The Power Of One ...!


One Sin
Any One Sin ... Cherished
Is Sufficient
AND
Has Sufficient Power
To Degrade The Character Of Man
AND
Is Strong Enough To Cause Self
AND
Encourage Others
To Walk Boldly With The Wily Fraud
AND
Despise The Holy God!

All That Any Man Has Or Needs
In This Life
Always Starts With  ONE!

The Thing That Nobody Wants
In This Life
Always Starts With ... ONE! 

How Do YOU Look At ... ONE?! 

One Drop Of Poison
One Bullet From A Gun
One Cruel Wave Of The Sea
One Wrong Answer To The Right Question!
ONE And ... You're Done!

One White Lie
One Black Tale
One Occluding Net
One Broken Sail!
ONE And ... You Fail!

One Bee Sting
One Hornet's Nest
One Venomous Snake Bite
One Broken Headlight!
ONE And ... It's A For-Life-Fight!

One Rejection Letter
One Broken Heart
One Banana Peel
One Peel Of Derisive Laughter!
ONE ... Devious Crafter Of Disaster!

One Don't!
One Run!
One Bun In The Oven
One Mishap
One Miss
ONE ... Mistake!

I Am Sooo Tired Of This ONE!

On The Good Side ...

One God
One Savior
One Comforter
One Heaven
One Salvation
One Hope
One Helper
One Provider
One Teacher
One Great Physician
One Way To The Eternal Home
One Faith
One Baptism
One Right Way
One Narrow Way
One Seasoning Called Salt
One Soon Coming Of Our King
One God To Exalt! 

One Is A Champion
Depending On Right Use ...

A Whip
A Weapon
A Holey Shoe
A Clown Hat
A Riotous Clapback
OR 
A Soft Answer

One Rule Of Righteousness
One Right
One Left
One Top
One Bottom
One Back
One Front
One Son Of God Begotten
OR
One Wicked Satan Rotten

One Decision
- Good Or Ill - 
Life With God
OR
Lake Of Fire
No Chaser To Chill!


How Will You Eternity Fill?!
Will YOU Look
To The ONLY ONE
Who Will Make Life
In His Eternity
For His Children
An Everlasting Thrill?!

Honest Policy!?!





The Age-Old Adage
"Honesty Is The Best Policy!"
ISQuite Frankly
A Straight-up Lie!!

Man, From The Looks Of You
You Drank What You Should Have Anointed Yourself With
Because It Is Running Out Your Mouth
As Bare Ignorance!

Not So Fast, Slow-Poke!
He Is Right!

YOU Have Obviously Had Some Of HIS Libation!

Not At All!
Just Give Us A Hearing!

Simply Put
Honesty
ISYes!
ANDNo!

Policy
Simply Put
IS
Maybe Yes!
Maybe No!
AND
Maybe So!
Probably!
Likely!
Possibility!
To Our Understanding!
By Reason Of ...!
Our Interpretation Is ...!
As A Matter Of Convenience!
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Policy Statements Are Full Of Loop-Holes
Available Only To The Issuer
And Always Leave Room ...!
... For "Improvement!"
... For Escape!

Honesty Do Not Contain Wiggle Room!

Honesty As A Policy Has No Wings
Because
Policy Lacks Honesty
AND
Has Hidden Arrows That Sting!

If Your Honesty Needs A Policy
To Give Your Words Strength
THEN
You, My Brother
My Sister
Will See Almighty God As Your Judge
At Length!

Policy Is All About Craft
Expediency!
Convenience!

Honesty Is Not About Convenience!
Honesty Is Not A Convenience!
Honesty
- Truth -
IS!

So ...

What Do We Really Know?!

We Know That Any "Honest Policy" That Changes
According To Time
Circumstance
Personnel
Administration
Prevailing Conditions
Is A Shifting-Sand Lie!

Honesty Aka Truth
Needs No Color Nor Spin
AND
Policy Masquerading As Honesty
Will Never Get For One
The Everlasting Win!

Remember The Word Of God!
This Is An Honest - Truthful - Statement:


The Lord: The Same Yesterday
Today 
AND 
Forever!


You Should Check Out
The Ten Commandments ...!

... And The Beatitudes!
John 3:16
1 John 1:9
Psalm 23
Psalm 46
Isaiah 55:6-7

And, Then ...

For An "Honest" Comparison
Take A Look At, Oh
I Don't Know ... 

... A Policy Of Insurance!
A Credit Card Agreement
The Tax Code
Your Refrigerator Warranty
Or ...

... The Patient Information Pamphlet 
Distributed With Medicine 
When The Pharmacist "Forgets" To Remove It!

Oh, Dear ...!

When You Put It That Way ... I ... I!

Look At It Like This:

Honesty AND Policy
Can Never
- Will Never -
Cooperate
So 
By Careful Consideration
With Godly Fear
AND
With Jesus Christ As Your Example
Let Strict Honesty
Be The Guide Of Your Life!

Policy
Is
A Convenient Conveyance!

***

Honesty
Is
Precious
Soul-Saving Cargo!

About How YOU Are Living?!

SELF CONTROL: The Muscle Tussle!

Self Control
Is A Road
A Vehicle On A Road
A Seat In A Vehicle On A Road!

Self Control
In A Man
Is A Steering Wheel
In The Hand Of The Man
In A Vehicle
On The Road Called Life!

Self-Deceit
Sin
AND
Disaster
Are Deep Ruts In The Road Of Life
When Man
- Any Human -
Has No Self Control!

This Man's Vehicle Is Vanity
Intemperance ... His Wheels
AND
His Fuel Is Dirt Cheap
Because
He Buys It 
At Mobile Gas Station I-Feels!

Who  ...  But A Fool
Drives A Vehicle With No Engine
Or Sits In A Vehicle
That Has No Seat Cushion
AND
Whose Brake Line Has No Fluid
AND
Of Direction Has ... No Notion?!

Who ... But A Fool
Will Deign To Have A Feast
In A Speeding Vehicle
Possessing Neither Wind Shields
No Doors?!

Can You Drive A Vehicle
That Has No Spark Plug?!

Who ... But A Fool
Blindfolded
Inebriated
AND
Going The Wrong Way
Gets On The Expressway Of Life
Racing A Vehicle With A Broken Axle?!

Let's Get Real ...

The Man
The Woman
The Child
Without Self Control
Is A Weapon Of Mass Destruction
Stuck
In Self Destruct Mode
Wise
In Its Own Eyes
Confident
In Its Own Prowess
Sure
That Its Cause Is Just
Ignorant
That It Is Being Purposefully Driven
By Lust Of Its Own Eye
AND
Lust In Its Own Flesh
For That That Is
The Pride Of Its Own Life!

Let This Be Made Known ...

Self Control
Is As A Coal
From The Altar
In The Temple Of The Living God
Retrieved By The Good-Influence Angel
AND
Carried With Tongs
AND
Placed With Due Care
On The Tongue Of The Blessed
The Sanctified One!

Self Control
IS
The Gift Of God!

Self Control Is The Great Reminder!

DO NOT ACT LIKE:

KING SAUL
  
  • Grieving Away The Holy Spirit
GENERAL MOSES
  • Striking The Rock At The Waters Of Strife
NADAB And ABIHU
  • Placing Strange Fire On The Holy Altar Of Almighty God
ACHAN
  • Stealing The Dedicated Things
KING DAVID
  • Fornicating With Bathsheba
  • Murdering Uriah

KING SOLOMON
  • With 700 Wives And 300 Concubines Out Of Known Idolatry
JUDAS ISCARIOT 
  • Betraying His Master, Jesus Christ


WARNING:

When You Do Not Control ... Self
Self ... Controls You
And
In The Darkened Eyes Of Satan
THAT
Makes You
- Against Jesus Christ AND To Him -
The Perfectly Useful Usable Disposable Tool!


Exercise Your Self ... Control!
Through The Holy Spirit
Get For It Muscles
Because
If The Known Wicked Spirit
Controls Your Self For You
Against Sin
You Will Lose The For-The-Victory Tussle!

PRAYER: Lord, Keep My Conscience ...!


Dear Lord,
Grant Unto Me A Conscience
That Is Controlled By the Holy Spirit Of Truth!
Bless Me To Do Your Will
So That I May Spend Eternity With You!


I Do Not A Desire An Overworked Conscience
That Is Ever Feeling Guilty ... Just Because! 
I Desire A Conscience That Feels Guilty
When By Sin 
I Have Broken Your Holy Laws!


Help Me Not To Ignore The Pinpricks Of
My At-Work Conscience
So That I Can Go Off And Be Free
To Sin And Do Wrong With Impunity!
Lord,
Help Me To Ever See My Jesus
As He Paid For My Sin
On That Cruel Cross On Mount Calvary!


Help Me, Lord
Not To Rely On My Feelings
Because Feelings Can Be Convinced
To Anything Do!
Help Me Ever To Accept 
The "Thus Saith The Lord!"
Help Me Not To Make Shipwreck Of My Faith!
I Do Not Want To Be To You A Disgrace!


Remember My Brethren
All The World Around! 
Help Those Who Are Calling! 
Help Them To See Light
So That Before The Dark Night 

You May Be Found!

Bless The Brethren To Bank Their Faith

In Jesus Christ The Lord
And
Help Us All Not To Grieve Away The Holy Spirit
By Ignoring Truth
And
Walking Blind In The Ways Of The Fraud!


Take Our Hands! 
We Are Reaching Out! 
Take Our Hearts! 
They Are Calling Out! 
Take Our Eyes! 
Take The Beam Out
And
Make Sweet Our Voices
As Over Sin
By Doing The Right
We Gladly Your Praises
Shout Out!


Let Not Sin Have Dominion Over Us! 
Let Peace Reign In Our Hearts! 
Let Not The Light Of Truth
From About Us
From In Us
Ever, Ever, Depart

For
We Love You, Lord 
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 
We Pray
And Humbly Plead
For Your Great Mercies
Of Which We Stand In Dire Need!
AMEN.
