... No But's! Remember What Martin Luther The Reformer Said:
In The Fight Against Evil
Neither Human Intellect
Nor Wisdom
Will Suffice!
We Are Not To Depend On Personal Effort By Self! We Are To Pray And Trust God AND Rely On The Gracious Influence Of The Holy Spirit!
There's Nothing In Us That Can Overthrow Evil! That Is The Work Of The Almighty God!
I Know! I Know!
You Knew Then But ...?!
... I Felt Invincible! I Knew The Word! I Was God's Man O' Business! I Was Certain It Was The Lord's Voice That I Had Plainly Heard Speaking!
Uh, Huh! You Led AND You Totally Expected The Eternal God The King Of Creation The Righteous Judge Our Peace The Blessed Hope Our Refuge And Strength Our Very Present Help In Time Of Trouble Our Hope For Years To Come Our Shelter In The Time Of Storm ...!
... Enough! Enough! I Get It! I Let Self ... Lead ... And ...!
... You Were Suitably ...!
... Humbled! I Was Humbled!
Okay! That Was Yesterday! This IS The New Day! Our God's Mercies Are New Every Morning AND We Have Work To Do! Who Are You?! A Willing Servant Of The Almighty God!
What Is The Task?!
Spread The Gospel Of Peace And Speak Truth In Righteousness!
How?!
In Season! Out Of Season!
Who Is Our Leader?! Jesus Christ The Lord!
Is This A Work Of Love Or For Lucre!
Lu...Love! Love! Love!
Who Has All The Answers?! Jesus Christ The Lord!
Who Is The Answer?! Jesus Christ The Lord!
Who Is The Light Of The World?! Jesus Christ The Lord!
How Are We Living?! By Faith?!
From Whom Do We Get Our Faith?! Jesus Christ The Lord!
Will We Receive Faith For Tomorrow, Today?!
We Receive Faith For The Day!
Do We Have Tomorrow In Our Hands! Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
What Is The Promise?! Life With Christ Through Working Faith, Love
Trust And Obedience And Sincere Worship!
Where Will You Walk?!
On The Straight And Narrow Path!
Who Will You Allow To Influence You?!
The Holy Angels
Who Have A Vested Interest In My Soul's Salvation! God's Grace Is ...?! ... Sufficient For Me!
When And/Or How Will You Prayer?!
Instantly, Constantly, Fervently, Unceasingly!
Say A Prayer!
Lord, Have Mercy!
AMEN!! Go In Peace, Brother To Love And Faithfully Serve To Love And Serve Jesus Christ Our Savior, Lord And God! Peace Be Upon You!
If God Were A Man He Would Not Forgive Us Our Sins BUT
He Is Not A Man AND You, Me, We Should Be Thankful For It!
Could You Imagine God Forgiving Persons Like Chairman Mao Mussolini Hitler
Idi Amin Jezebel Athaliah Diocletian And Nero Herod The Great Herodias The Duvalier's, The Marcos' ...!?!
...Nebuchadnezzar! God Forgave Nebuchadnezzar Because Nebuchadnezzar Saw The Light Of Truth AND
Repented Of His Sins!
If Any Of Those Others Repented Of Their Sins We Shall See Them In The Kingdom!
Saul-Paul Will Be There!
Yes, Yes!
I See Your Point And It Says A Lot About Confession Of Sin Repentance For Sin And The Grace, Mercy And Forgiveness Of God And Of A Surety That Our Openness Our Willingness To See God's Truth To Understand Our Fallen Condition To Accept The Character Of Christ To Turn From Sin And Self Are Seriously Important Things In The Economy Of The Holy God!
A Meek And Humble Spirit There Is No Law Against But Those Who Transgress The Law Of God If Truly Penitent They Do Not Need Before The Lord's Justice To Grovel In Mud Nor Dejected ... To Faint!
God's Knows Our Every Weakness! He Knows Our Every Fear! He Knows The Soul's Longing AND Those Who Fall On His Free Mercy He Will Never, Ever, Turn Away!
No Man Can Fool His Maker Though, By Outward Appearance He May Fool Man Pretending That He Holds Lofty Ideals While Living In The Shade Like A Royal Scamp!
Man Looks On The Outward Appearance BUT The Holy God Looks Upon The Deceitful Heart AND
Christian-Called May Utter
The Platitudes Of The FraudBUT That Will Not Get Him A Seat A Home In The Eternal City Of God!
Never Follow A Multitude To Do Evil! Never Think That God Is A Man! Never Believe That You Can Hide From God Just Because You Have Been On A Pilgrimage To The Holy Land!
Oh, Dear!
Yes! Oh. Dear!
God Made You Feeds And Sustains You! God Knows The Thoughts And Intents Of Your Heart AND If It Is Your Soul's Desire To Live For Ever With Him Don't Be Disobedient!
AND Don't Be Disloyal For This Speaks Of Apostasy Compliments Of The Known Apostate Who Thinks So Highly Of Himself That He Cannot Will Not Say:
Father,
I've Sinned Against Thee!
Forgive Me!
I Am Sorry!
And Has Placed Himself Outside Of The Holy Spirit's Working And, Instead Having His Very Own Wicked Spirit Is Bent On Causing Many Into Sin To Fall So That Against The Holy God He May Sarcastically Boast About It!
A Humble Spirit!?!
A Humble Spirit!
Confession ...!?!
... And Repentance!
You've Got To Do It Your Self Of Your Free Will!
Jesus Will Not Force You To AND Satan Can't Force You Not To!
It Is About You Giving Over Your Self And Your Will And Your Sin To Your Savior The Eternal The Blessing The Available The Justifying The Sanctifying The Glorifying God Who Has Place Prepared For You In His Everlasting Kingdom!
Okay! Okay! I Can Do This!
Yes, You Can ... In Jesus Christ's Name!
Just Pray ...!
... And Plod On!
Give It All To Jesus!
REMEMBER THIS:
Pride Goes Before The Haughty Spirit Before Said Spirit Does Fall Even As That Spirit Seems To Be Achieving His Goal! God Has The Final Disposing Vengeance Is His His Alone So Do Not Cherish Pride AND Let It Not Against You Be The Porridge Served Lumpy, Lumpy, And Stone Cold!
I Know From Where I Have Come! (That's My Documented History) AND I Have Been About The Living God Taught! (That's True Doctrine)! I Make Unto Him Humble Supplication! (That's My Fervent Praying) ANDI Laud His Holy Name As, Indeed, I Ought! (That's My Joyful Praise)!
By Way Of Heartfelt Confession I Give The Gift Of My Sins To The Eternal Holy God Who Is My Savior
My Lord, Sovereign!
By Prayerful Petition I Present My Cares, Sorrows, Griefs And Woes To The Living God Who Once Trod This Earth AND
Who Has Left Us The Good Way To - In Faith - Mightily Grow!
By Way Of Thanksgiving
For Answered Prayer
AND
Often Just To Share I Sing In Praise
"The Joyful Hallelujah!"To Him Who Is God Of All AND My Beloved King!
AND
Because In Him I Know That I Am Saved Safe Hedged In AND Secure
I Know The Value Of Psalm 1 To My Heart - My Christian Walk - For It Describes The Two Classes Of Humans Who Will Be Here At The Time Of The End Of The Earth!
It's Almost Time To Depart!
Juxtaposed ...
I Desire To Be The Man Blessed That Is ... Happy AND Not That Other Who Is Cursed Who Walks In The Way - Who Lives The Life Of - The Ungodly Who Stands Companiably With Sinners AND Sits Comfortably With Scorners Denying The Creator Of Us All AND The Universe!
Apostle Peter ... Wallowing In The Ungodly Fear Of The Unconverted Heart Did All This Denying His Master And Lord AND At The Expected Cock's Crowing - Convicted Of Known Sin - Wept ... Bitterly!
What Of Me And Thee?!
I Desire To Be Planted In King Jesus That Known Giver Of Life Who Is The Free Flowing River Of Water Of Life!
The Flowing River Of Water Of Life Gives Life Unto Needy Thirsting Me!
The Lord
Is
My Known And Heard Shepherd AND For His Righteousness I, Parched - By Walking Through The Desert Of Sin - Thirst!
I Desire The Leaves Of My Tree To Be Ever-Green Never Stunted Never Burnt AND I Desire Ever Always To Bear Fruit For My Savior Readily To Be Seen When He Sees Me Lush-Leaved Growing Planted In My Well-Watered Earth!
I Desire For My Lord
- From The Work Of My Hand - To Have A Harvest For His Garner Ready Whether 30, 60, Or 100-Fold! I Shall For My Master Work ... Steady!
I Shall Cultivate My Plot Of Sod! I Shall Manure It With The Living Word The Law The Prophets Psalms Hymns Spiritual Songs The Gospels AND I Shall Hold On To The Promise Of The Revelation
Though Others May Insult My Humble Faith AND Scoffing, Say:
"God" Is An Imaginary Friend
For Grown-Ups!"
BUT, IUnperturbed Shall Say:
I Am A Child Of The Living God
And
He Is Real
- Conquering King Real -
And
I Know That He Is The God Able
And
To Bless Me Abundantly
He Shall Never, Ever, Fail!
Psalm 1 - KJV -
Is
Here For Me
AND To Tell The Salvation Story To Man Big Or Small
AND For Believers One And All Who Choose To Trust The Living Word AND Do The Will AND To Help Me Not To Known Popular Fables Captivated ... Fall!
As For Those Who Choose To Walk In OWN Way To Do The Deceitful Will Of That Other Who Chose Wilfully To Walk In His Own Way I Must Inform You That Sin Cannot Profit Because It Costs BUT Does Not Ever Pay No Matter What Satan May Say To Prettily Entice You
With His Dark Arts To Play!
From His Devilish Sophistries, In The Name Of Christ The Righteous
Carnal Man Tames The Lion The Elephant The Whale The Snake BUT No Carnal Man Can Tame The Tongue AND With Wild Laughter At This Irony That Wicked Satan Does Shake!
400 Pound Lion ... Tamed! 7 Ton Elephant ... Tamed! 1300 Pound Brown Bear ... Tamed! 9,000 Pound Whale ... Tamed But The Less Than Three Ounce Tiny Tongue Of Man Is
As Free As A Bird
AND Ignited By A Brand From The Willful-Goat Herd AND Gleefully Sets Fires Ad Nauseum AND Has Tremendous Fun
Fitfully Stirring Them!
Tiny Tongue Lives In The Terrible Twos! Tiny Tongue Loves His Glittering Red Shoes! Tiny Tongue Goes Where Giants Fear To Thread AND Holy Angels Won't AND Tiny Tongue Is Boss In The Unregenerated Soul Until It Is Known That The Body Is Dead! That Is Dread!
Tiny Tongue Talks Terrible Things Every Day! Tiny Tongue Plays In Traffic No Matter What The Head Man Done Say! Tiny Tongue Is A Tyrant A Tease A Tester A Trip
AND Tiny Tongue Is A Molester AND In Guacamole Parties He Always Double Dips His Chips!
Maaaaan ...
He Got Bare Lip AND He Can't Even Walk! He Got More Guts Than A Goat AND He Does Make Philosophers Choke!
He Does Talk Forward Froward AND Often Acts Facetious, Too!
Bad Talk Is Tiny Tongue's Good For-Profit Business! He Always Got Fat In The Fire To Check!
AND He Always Has Something To Collect!
BUT ...
Those Who've Been Bitten Bullied Blistered AND Blasted By Tiny Tongue Have Humbly Repaired Unto The Lord AND Have Given Unto The Master Full Control Of That Miscreant Who Blesses The Living God AND Curses His Fellow Man For He Has Been Activated By
The Consummate Fraud!
Tiny Tongue Don't Need No Trigger! Tiny Tongue Does A One, Two, Three Hit! Bliss! What Fun!!
AND He Runs The Race Before The Sound Of
The Starter's Gun!
Tiny Tongue Is A Scoundrel! A Rouge ... With A Brogue AND His Best Performance Comes On Flash-Back Day When He Fetches Up His Guts AND Shares Fresh Blows!
Around An Unleashed Tiny Tongue
You'd Better Be On Your Toes
For, Invariably
He Puts On A Spectacular Show!
News Flash ...
There Is Hope For Tiny Tongue! There Is Help From The Master For In The Multitude Of His Mercy ...!
... Wait Up, Bub! How Can There Be A "Multitude" Of A Mercy!?!
I Never Said "A" Mercy! I Said HIS Mercy!
I Get It ... I Don't Got It!
Who Is God?! Able!
What Is God?! All Seeing! All Knowing! Ever Present!
Where Is God?! Available!
What Is Mercy! Free!
Free To Whom?! All!
In Earth Speak When Some Thing Is Free To All Takers What Is The Usual Reason?!
There Is Abundance!
It Is Allegedly Something Good! It Supposed Does Something Good!
It Is Reportedly Good For The Takers!
It Is Proclaimed That Those Who Miss Out On This Good Thing Will Have Regret!
And ...
Those Who Get The Good Glean The Goodness Share The Story AND
It Lauds The Originator Spreading Glory ...!
... Wait A Minute! Minus The Alleged And The Supposed This Is About The Gospel Story The Good News Story ...!
... We Get The Good AND Almighty God Gets The Glory!
So What You Are Really Telling Is
Almighty God Is Eternal In Every Place And Time So, Therefore His MERCY Is One AND Eternal AND Is Available To Fix What Ever Why Ever Where Ever When Ever For Who Ever If And And Because! Right! ?!
Hole In One!
Absolutely!
Remember That Almighty God Has Ways To Save Us That We Don't Know Anything About!
We Surely Need Him To Save Us From Tiny Tongue!

Who Would Think That A Tiny Tongue Could Wield Such Power?! Could Keep One Out Of Heaven! Could Cast One Into Hell Fire?!
That's An Irony If I Even Know What An Irony Is!
Hear The Story Now ...
Tiny Tongue - Known Lit By The Fires Of Hell - Lit A Fire That Caused His Neighbor AND His Own Head, Hell AND Was Immolated By His Own Fire! He Burned Like Hell!
