Finding God ... Again!

Living N. Handmade Hell
IS
In A Very Peculiar Position!
He Knows Of The Goodness Of Almighty God!
He Has Experienced ... Mightily
The Giving God's Love And Personal Favor!
He Is Living Large Off Of The Blessing God's Bounty
AND
He Daily Tells All Who Patronize
His Very Prosperous Establishment
AND
Visit His Great House
To Trust The Almighty God And Keep His Commandments
EVEN AS HE, HIMSELF
- Having Purchased A Membership In
Wise In Your Own Eyes
AND
Seems To
Appears To Be
Looks Like -
IS
Systematically Rewriting The Law Of God
To Suit Himself
To Make The Law Modern
To Make Serving The Eternal God Relevant

AND

To Cause His Own Mind To Rest Easy
Over Things That
Do Not Comport With His Present Position
His Powerful Personality
His Innate Pride
His Peculiar Penchants
His Perfidious Predilections
His Purchased Praise!

To All Intents And Purposes
Living N. Handmade Hell Is A Pompous Poseur
Who
When He Was Poor
Was Peaceful And Polite
Who Prayed Passionately
Purposefully
Lovingly
Joyfully
Thankfully
AND
Often!

He Obeyed
He Loved
He Trusted
He Served
He Cared
He Was Blessed
AND
He Was A Blessing
AND
He Deliberately Walked With God
Because 
He Truly Believed The Living Words Of Life!

Yuh Can't Seh Dat Now, Though!

Buh Looka Muh Crosses!
Tha' Is De Same Man
That Pointedly Pointed Me
To De Cross Of Christ!

He Should Be Shame Ah 'eself!

Yuh Telling Me!!

Brethren!
Let's Not Be Fair Weather Christians!
Let's Pray For Our Brother!

How Do You Pray For Someone
Who CHOOSES ... WILLINGLY
To Be The Enemy Of God?!

You Pray Very, Very, Carefully!

Christ Died To Save Mankind!
Christ Did Not Die To Encourage Man
To Continue In Sin
Just Because Jesus Christ Is Savior!

You Cannot Mock God And Prosper!

When You Come Out Of Egypt
Aka Unbelief
When You Come Out Of Babylon
Aka Confusion
When You Come Out Of Sin
Aka Death
You Must Not Do A Lot's Wife Performance!

Whoever Out ... Stop, Stay, Stand Out!

When You Have Tasted The Blessed Fruit Of
Sure Salvation
AND
Turn Back To The Dark Paths
All That Is Left
Is A Fearful Waiting For Sure Destruction!

Lord, Help Me Not To Bless Myself
Saying
I Have
I Shall Have Peace
When Disobedience Is Leading Me
To Add The Destruction Of Drunkenness  To Thirst
Because I Walk In The Vain Imaginings Of 
My Known Deceitful Man's Heart!

I Got Four Words Fuh He En 'e Kind:

Who. Can. Best. God?!

Wait! Wait A Minute!
What Is This Thirst You're Talking About?!

As I Understand It
Sin Is A Desert!
Man In The Desert Of Sin ... Thirsts!
Man's Thirst Is For Water!
Water, To Man, Is Life!
The Water Of Life Is Christ
So, Therefore
Man's Thirst IS For Christ! 

Everything Else That Man Drinks
Imbibes
Swallows
Is
Sugar ... Alcohol ... Drunk Man Water
Destruction.

Lord,
Have Mercy
On Living N. Handmade Hell's Soul!

Alright, Then!
You Just Prayed For Him!

He Surely Needs It
Because
There Is No Man
No Created Being
Who Can Change God's Laws
Challenge Almighty God's Authority
Set Aside God
AND
Make A Fallen Man
A Cast Out Angel, A God
Who
- Being Unrepentant -
Will Prosper To Live Eternally!

It Ain't Never No Way Going To Happen ...!

... Tell That To The Big Man Walking In Our Direction!

REPENT!

And

Be Baptized Every One Of You

For The Salvation Of Your Souls!

Are You Dropping Remarks To Me!?!

Brother Living,
You Know Very Well That Only Those Who Go
A-Whoring Drop Remarks
And Swine, The Scavengers Of The Earth
Pick Them Up!

Yes, Yes, Yes!
So What Were You Saying About 
Everybody Repenting!

Welllll,
Since YOU Plainly Asked The Question
I Will Plainly Answer Your Question
With Another Question!

Living N. Handmade Hell
Why Don't You Love The Living God Anymore!?!

Excuse Me!?!

Answer The Question!

Ah, Well ...!

If That Question Is Too Hard To Answer
I'll Make It Easier For You:

Why Do You No Longer Love The Lord Our God
Our Known Creator
The Maker Of Heaven And Earth
Our Perfect Provider
Our Able Sustainer
Our Certain Hope
Our Ever-Present Help
Our Sure Salvation
Our Life's Beginning
Our Constant Blessing
Our Perfect Peace
Our Comfortable Rest
Our Glorification
At The Faithful Life's End!?!

Lord Jesus!!
Help Me!

You Do Well To Call Upon Him!

I Knew This Day Was Coming ...!

Every Long Day Got A Four O'Clock!

Suddenly
Brother Loving Was On His Knees ...

Damascus Road ...!

Jesus Left Heaven For Me ...!

... Take Up My Cross ...!

... Not Worthy ...!

... Man Of Sorrows ...!

... TRUTH In The Inward Parts!

What's Happening To Him!

This IS His Waterloo!

It's Between His Soul And His Savior!

Take Up My Cross And Follow ...!

Bless The Lord ...!

Take Me Back, Lord ...!

... To Where I First Believed!!

Praise God!

Praise God!

PRAISE GOD!

Brethren,
Let's Leave Him Alone!

Indeed!

He Is Wrestling With His God!

A Man Can Only Run So Far
Before He Meets Himself ...

... And The Eternal God!

JESUS CHRIST ... Saves!

If The Life Of The Flesh
Is
In The Blood
And
Jesus Christ Shed His Blood
To Give Us Life
Then
It Stands To Reason That
We Have Life ... In Christ!

Since Man Is A Sinner

And

There Is No Surface Removal Of Sin
And
Sin Is In Man's Life
A Known Aggressive Cancer
And
We Know That Jesus Christ Saves ... From Sin
Then
It Stands To Reason That
To Get Rid Of The Cancer Of Sin
We Need Jesus Christ In Our Lives!

Since Jesus Christ Saves
And
Jesus Christ Died To Save Man
And
Jesus Christ 

Is

Alive
Then
It Stands To Reason That
Man Needs Jesus
Because Man Is A Sinner
And
New Life Is In Christ
Who Saves To The Uttermost
The Boy Girl
Man Woman
Who Recognizes Own-Sin
And
Desires, By Jesus Christ
To Be Saved Into Blessed Rest!

Salvation Came Down To Earth!
Jesus Christ

Is

Salvation!
Salvation Is Free!
Pardon Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Free
And
Man Is Free To Access Salvation
By Walking To
AND
With
Christ Jesus
Then
It Stands To Reason That
Jesus Christ 

Is 

Our Friend
And, Consequentially
Our Sure Salvation!

In Jesus Christ
We Have Life
And
That Without End!

Therefore, Brethren Beloved

Come To Jesus Christ ... Now
AndBe Made Clean
To Walk
In The Newness Of Life
And 
To Live By Faith
Never Trusting Vain Eyesight
To Show The Way ... Clear
To Heavenly Delights!

Do Not Harden Your Heart!

Now ... Is The Acceptable Time! 

Now ... Is The Right Day

To Accept Priceless Salvation!

Jesus Christ Saves!

The Fact Of Faith
Is
Faith Is A Definitive Action

And
Not A Bevy Of Emotions
Followed By Spurious Reactions!

All Who Will To Receive
The Priceless Gift Of Everlasting Life
Must
- By The Deliberate Act Of Faith -
Accept The Gift In Faith
And
Strive
- By Working And Watching Faith -
To Meet The Lofty Standard Of
The Giver Of The Perfect Life!

New Life For Old

Is Not

A Copper Lamp

To The Gull (The Foolish) 

To Be Sold!

Sow And Grow Meets Reap And Eat!

I've Got Seeds!

Seed Seeds Or Word Seeds?!

Come On!
Words Aren't Seeds!

Says You!
And You Are Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!

Prove It!

Okie, Dokie!
You Are A Lovely Person
And Really Smart!

Why Thank You!
You Are A Beautiful Spirit!

SEED!

You're Kinda Special!
Two Screws Loose!
Elevator Stuck On Thirteen!

Just Like Your Mother!

Just Like Your Aunt Paul!

Yuh Fada Sista!

SEED! SEED! SEED!

Good Lord!

Please Explain This!

I Didn't Know This Seed Business
And Already I Don't Like It!

Okay!

When You Plant A Good Seed
What Do You Get?!

Almighty God Willing, A Good Harvest!

Before It Gets To The Harvest
What Does Your Seed Do?!

• Send Down Roots
• Raise Up A Trunk
• Extend Branches And Stems
• Grow Leaves
• Show Blossoms
• Yield Up Fruit

Very Good!

Now ... Tell Me What Happened
When I Said Something Nice To You?!

I Was Blessed
And I Said Something Nice In Return!

And When I Said Something Not Very Nice?!

I Was Affronted
And I Sought To Offend You
And You Offended Me, Again
And I Offended You, Again ...!

... Oh, Dear!

And What Did I Say!

Seed! Seed! Seed! 

A Word
Good Or Bad
IS
A Seed
To Do Good Or Ill!

This IS Very Distressing!

Why Is That?!

Because I've Been Firing Off My Mouth Recently!

Interesting Expression, Don't You Think!?!

Indeed!

A Loaded Gun
In A Careless
Angry
Willful
Uncaring Hand
Causes A Kill!

A Loaded Mouth
The Red Rag Unregenerated
AND
Lit By The Fires Of Hell
AND
Raging
Shoots Bullets
Which Kill Just As Dead!

I Can See That!!
How Do You Stop It!

The Savior IS Waiting

To Enter Your Heart! 

Let God's Holy Spirit Enter In!

Don't Let Anger Pride
Lust Covetousness
Willfulness Gainsaying
Arrogance Aggression
AND
Self
Plant Seeds
AND
Grow Fruit
That You Don't Ever Want To Eat!

Remember The Adage:

You Reap What You Sow!

You Eat What You Grow!

I Never Understood What That Meant ...!

... Until Now!

I Know What You Mean!

Live And Learn, Brethren!
Live AND Learn!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rich ... In Jesus! + PRAYER: Pity Us, Lord!

All We ... Like Sheep
Have Gone Astray
AND
All Of Us ... Being Sinners
Have Walked In Our Own Way!

We Believe That
We Are Rich
Increased With Goods
AND
Have Need Of Nothing
- Or So We Say -
BUT
Let Me Tell You Plain, Brethren
Unconfessed Sin
Before The Heavenly Father
Is Sin
For Which You, Personally
- Dearly -
Will Have To Pay!

No Man Can Forgive Sin
Because
Sin 
Is 
The Transgression Of The Almighty God's Law
AND
Anyone
- Be It Pope, Priest
President, Prime Minister
Pastor Or A Handsome Pretty -
Who Claims Otherwise
Is
Someone Working For The Very Devil
AND
Selling ... As Truth
Known Reasoning Flaws
AND
Outright Lies!
Oh, How Our Savior Cries!

Beloved ...

Whatever You Leaning
Your False God
Your Raging Lust
In Jesus Christ The Righteous
You May

• For Heart Comfort
• For Soul Blessing
• For Spirit Peace
• For Bodily Rest

In All Faithfulness 
Confidently Trust!

Jesus Christ
Is
- Even Now -
Still Calling The Sinner To Repentance
For
There Is No Human Being
Who Is Not
So
Come Out Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Come Out Of Babylon
Depart Envy 
Depart Greed 
Depart Hate
AND
Depart Pride
AND
Petition 
To Receive Blessings Glorious
Of Which 
The Eternal God, All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
Has An Innumerable
Unimaginable Lot!
Don't Against Your Name Make A Blot!

The Living God
Is Not
A Party To Lying Satan's Smoke And Mirrors
So
All Who Follow The Life-Giver
Faithfully
Obediently
Worshipfully
Trustingly
Shall Arrive In Eternity As Immortalized
Incorruptible Livers
Nevermore To Live In 
Or Be Affected By
Sin's Squalor!
Please Give Jesus Christ Your Heart's Call
Even If Your Voice Has To Holler!

Do Not Let

Your Love Of Sin

Devour

Your Gift Of Life

Basking

In God's Glory!

Trust

The Good News

Gospel Story
And
Let Your Happy-In-Jesus Soul's Voice
Get To Sing
To The Eternal God
Glory! Glory!
And
A Joyful Hallelujah!

PRAYER:

Lord,
Please Help Us
Not To Enjoy The World's Goods
So Much
That We Forget That
The Living Word
Is
Truth Provided
And
For Our Own Precious Soul's Good!

Pity Us, Lord
And
Help Us To See The Shining Light
Of
Heavenly Love!

Please Help Us, As Always
And
Bless Us
Is My Heart's Humble Prayer
For We Ask These Few Petitions
In The Matchless Name
Of
The Holy Jesus!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Prince Of Peace!?!

Jesus Christ The Righteous
IS
The Prince Of Peace
Who Brought A Sword To The Men Of The Earth
Which Sword Is Sin Relief!

Here We Go Again!
Another Conundrum!

A Peacemaker Who Carries A Sword?!
Wow! I'm Under Overwhelmed!

Bite Yer Tongue!

Hey!
Wasn't A Peacemaker A Gun In The Wild West?!

Yes, It Was
But You Need To Widen Your Focus!

How?!
Every Peacemaker That I Know Off
Started A War!

Widen Your Focus ... Out And Up!
Think Vertically!
See Through The Eyes Of Faith
That Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us!

Oh! My Bad!

Why Did Cain Kill Abel?!

Cain Was Disobedient Presumptuous And Jealous
Aka Wicked!
Abel Operated Under The Obedience Of Faith!

Abel's Righteous Works Accused Cain's Disobedience!

Why Did Sanballat Hate Hezekiah?!

Sanballat Was Corrupt And Evil!
Hezekiah Labored Diligently By Faith 

And Feared The Living God?!

Why Did King Saul Hate David?!

Saul Was Disobedient, Presumptuous

Wilful And Wickedly Murderous Evil!
David Walked With God In Obedience ...!

... Really?!

Really
Minus The Bathsheba Affair
For Which He Abjectly Completely
- With Contrite Heart -
Repented!

Oh.

Why Did The Jewish Leaders Hate Stephen?!

Stephen Was On Fire For Almighty God
And Full Of Good Works!
The Jewish Leaders
- Wicked Deceitful Puffed Up
Dishonest Treacherous Murderous -
Were Heated From Hell!

Why Did Haman The Agagite
Hate Mordecai?!

Plain Case Of Good Versus Evil!

Haman Wanted The Worship
Mordecai, In Obedience, Reserved For The Living God!

Mordecai Believed And Trusted God's Word!

So, Let Me Ask You The Question!

Why Does Satan Hate Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

• Good Versus Evil
• Love Versus Hate
• Truth Versus Error
• Selfish Desire Versus Yielding To God's Will

Aka
- In All Instances -

Good People

AND
Good Works
Placing
Bad People

AND
Bad Works
Into Disclosing Exposing Revealing Bright Light!

Soooo, How Does This Correlate
To Jesus The Peacemaker Wielding A Sword?!

Glad You Asked!

Jesus Christ Is Our Peace

Bearing The Sword Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is
The Word Of God
Which Is
The Light Of Truth
Which Leads Us

Into The Eternal God's Everlasting Life!

The Light Of Truth
Is The Disclosing Agent
Which Glows In The Dark
Exposing Known Sin
AND
Revealing Inward Darkness
AND
Cutting Off The Way Of Escape
Used On The Path Of Denial!

I Get You ... Now!

The Word Of Truth
From The Prince Of Peace
Ignites
The Tinder Of Sin Within
The Darkened Soul Of Fallen Man
AND
All Who Hear The Word
Must Respond
- One Way Or The Other -
AND
The Only Way To Still The Convicted Spirit
Is To Hurt
Damage
Maim
Destroy
Make Its Presence Absent
With Prejudice
AND
With Finality
Killing It!

Put Another Way ...

Evil Gets "Peace" From Knowing Evil Is Evil

By Killing Peace 

Which Brings Peace To Evil

By Exposing Evil

Who Needs Peace From Evil 

Who Kills Peace 

Because Evil Is Evil 

And

Knows Not Peace

Which Brings Perfect Peace ... And Rest!!

What He Said!

So What Have We Gleaned?!

Peace From Truth Is A Sword!

Peace Is A Purity That Condemns
The Urges And Habits Of The Sin Life!

Peace Is A Lead Balloon

Among The Helium-Filled Balloons Of Sin!

Peace Is Like Clorox 

On A Warlike Black Character!

Peace Damages
Peace Cuts 

The Fabric Of Sin ...!

... Jesus' Peace Is A Sword ...!

... Which Challenges The Status Quo
Of Business As Usual
Which Upsets The Currency Of Sin
Which Destroys Satan's Ability
Another Soul
To Darkness
To Win
AND
This Does Not Sit Well With Him
AND
The Result Is ...!

... Jesus Got Killed ...!

... His Adherents Will Likewise Follow ...!

... Peace Is A Sword!

Bottom Line ...

The Word Of Truth

Doesn't

Can't 

Won't Lie!

Jesus Christ's Peace

IS

A Sword!

The Law And The Prophets Preach The Gospel! + PRAYER: Lord, I Desire The Gift Of Life ...!

The Law Was To Man Strict Justice!
The Prophets Told Man's History In Advance
AND
The Gospels Tell The Good News Of
Man's Purchased Salvation
AND
The Free Grace
Given Unto The Fallen Race
By The Son Of God

The Son Of Man
Who Took Unto Himself ... Our Flesh
So That By Faith
With Love ... And Obedience
Trust And Heartfelt Worship
We Will Receive Of His Holy Spirit!

Of His Love To Us, There Is No Limit!

Don't You Know That ...

Those Who Love The Lord
Do Not Obey The Law To Be Saved!
They Obey The Law

Because 

They Are Saved
AND
Being Unwilling
To Crucify The Loving Savior Afresh
They Choose Not To Be Led By Their Flesh!

There Is Law At The Beginning!
AND

There Is Grace At The End
But 

Neither Cancels Out The Other
Because 

The Living God Changes Not
AND, THEREFOREHis Righteous Law Cannot
So
To Meet God
We Have To Be Raised Up
Or Be Forever Lost!

Note Well ...

History Foretold That
The Deliverer Would Come
AND
The Gospels Plainly Speak
Telling Of His Life
His Unfailing Love For Man
His Never-Ending Blessing Upon Man
His Priceless Gift To Man
His Accursed Death Because Of Man
His Stunning Resurrection To Save Man
AND
His Visible Ascension
AND
High-Priestly Intercession For Man
AND
His Soon Coming To Earth Again
To Claim His Own
Out Of The Hand Of Satan
The Snare Of Every Man!

Satan Is Damned!

From Genesis To Revelation
Is 

Jesus Christ All The Way
AND
One Without The Other
To Give Man Short Pay
For
All The Books Of The Testament Old

AND

The Testament New

Meet
In The Book Of Revelation At The End
AND
Finish The Whole Story Of How 

The Life Of Man Shall End
When He Makes Almighty God's Son
The Creator God
- The Savior -
His Redeemer
Who Offers
- Who Gives -
Life
AND

That Without End!

It Is Time, Brethren

For Us, Sincerely

The Life With Jesus Christ

To Humbly

Unceasingly Defend!

Jesus Christ Bore His Cross!

Our Sin Made The Cross Members!

He Asks Us

To Take Up Our Cross

- Daily -

And

Follow Him!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Willingly Take Up My Cross Today!

I Will Bear It

For

I Know That You Carry Me

Every Single Day!

I Know That Sometimes

My Heart At The Burden

Is Not Well Pleased

But

Be It Kicking Or Screaming

Crying And Complaining

I Will To Follow

Where You Lead

And

I Beseech You, Lord

To Keep Me On The Right Path

Until I Fully

Finally

Accept

That You Know Best

And

I, By Your Daily Grace

With My Gift Of Daily Faith

Choose To Calmly, Peacefully

Faithfully

Unreservedly

Follow My Lord Christ

To The Eternal City

Wherein Is Everlasting Life!

Lord,

Please Help Me To Keep The Faith

And

Stay The Course

For

I Desire The Gift Of Life

And

That Without End

With

My Jesus

My Forever Friend

In Whose Holy Name

I, Believing

Loving, Trusting

Worshipping

Pray!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Out Of Darkness ...!! : Let There Be Light! + PRAYER: Remember Us, Lord, In Mercy!

It 

    IS    

               Plain!

Darkness Desires

AND
Dreams 

To Kill Light!

It Is Not Because Light Schemes Against

AND

Hates Darkness
BUT

Because Light Is Light
AND
Always Right
AND
Ever Perfect

In The Holy God's Sight!

Darkness Is Determined
Dark
Destructive

AND
Debilitating

AND

Is Ever Delivering Damnation

AND
Setting Adherents Outside Of The Living God's Pardoning
Because
Darkness Is Filled With Pride
Jealousy And Greed

AND
Is Not "Contented" With What It Has

Or
What It Possesses In Itself
Which Is
Being Deadly

AND
Deadly Desiring
Trophy Scalps On Its Display Shelf!

Darkness Is Of Satan

That Wily Creature

Popularly

And

Foolishly Considered 

A Cartoon Elf!

Darkness Hates Light
Because 

In The Presence Of Light True
True Light Is Shed 

Into The Darkness Of The Mind
AND
Darkness Is Known Fled
For
Light Into The Darkness
Creates Insight
Giving Foresight
Removing One From The Night
That Does Blight And Benight
AND
Gives Man, Fallen
Strength ... To Stand Up
AND
To Fight In Faith ... For Faith
That Good Fight
That Does The Freed Soul Delight!

PRAYER:

Father,

Forgive Us Our Trespasses Today

When We Walk Into Darkness

Because

We, Complacent

Did Not Look Every Which Way!

Help Us To Have

The Wise Virgin Experience

Having A Personal Knowledge

Of

The Living Word

And

Not Depending On Another's Feeling

Or Experience

So That

When The Cry

"The Bridegroom Cometh!"

Sounds

We Will Not Be Amongst Those Of

The Cast-Out

I-Do-Not-Know-You

Damned-For-Eternity Goat Herd!

Remember Us In Mercy

For You Have Promised

That You Can Never Forget

And

We Ask All In The Name Of

The Beloved

Jesus Christ The Righteous!

We Accept And Thank You, Lord

For Your Grace!

AMEN.
