Ye Are Not Your Own!?!

My Life Is Mine To Do Whatever I Please!

Kinda Bold, Aren't You ... For A Thief!?!

Excuse Me!?!

No Excuse Necessary!
You're Nothing But A Thief!

Them's Fighting Words, Mister!
You'd Better Back Up Your Mouth
Or Shut Up!

No Need To Put Up Your Dukes, Young Fella!
He's Speaking The Living God's Truth!

Enough Already!
My Life IS Mine And I DO What I Want!

It Looks Like We've Got Ourselves A Hard Case Here!

Let Me Ask You A Question:
You Ever Created Anything!?!

Sure, I Have! I Do!
I Create Computer Apps!

That's Lovely!
Whose Brain Did You Use!?!

I Used My Own Brain!

Did You Create That Brain!?!

Of Course, Not!

You're A Thief!

Whose Eyes Did You Use!?!

I Used My Own Eyes, Of Course!

Did You Create Those Eyes!?!

Of Course Not!
Humans Can't Create Eyes!

You're A Thief!

You're Really Starting To Bug Me!

That's My Hope!

Really!?!

Whose Hands, Ears
Mind, Heart Did You Use!?!

Let's See ... Mine, Mine, Mine
Mine And Mine!
I Used, I Use, All That Is Mine!

Did You Create You!?!

Of Course Not!

Then, As I Said Before, You're A Thief!

What Do You Keep Saying That!?!

What Do You Mean By Making That Statement!?!

Whoever Has The Right Of Creating You
Owns You!

Who Created You!?!

My Parents!?!

I Glean By That Question That 

You Are Experiencing, Dare I Say, Doubt!?!

You'd Better Believe It!

Very Good! 

We're Making Progress!

And The LORD Said:
Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image
After Our Own Likeness ...!

What Does That Make God!?! 

That's Easy! Almighty God Is Man's Creator!

I Like That You Recognize That God Is Almighty!

And God Said To Man
Be Fruitful And Multiply!

What Does That Make God!?! 

Our Programmer!?!

I'll Take That Answer!
There Is No Human
No Human Pretending To Be God
No Demonic Spirit
Or That Satan Who Wants To Be God
That Has The Rights To Anything
That Almighty God Through Jesus Christ
The Lord Created Or Called Into Being ...!

... Just Remember That When The Powers That Be

Tell You That You Have No Exclusive Right

To Your Body Which Is The Lord's!

The Earth Is The Lord's
And 

The Fullness Thereof
Aka Whatever Is On It Or Under It
The Sea And They That Dwell Therein

For He Spake ... And It Was Done
He Commanded ... And It Stood Fast!

Can You
Do You
Do Any Of That!?!

Of Course Not!
I'm Not The Creator God!

Very Nice! 

Do You Still Say That Your Life Is Your Own!?!

No, I Don't
But I Will Say That The Lord God Gifted Me My Life!

So, What Do You Intend To Do With Your Gift!?!

How Many Choices Do I Have!?!

Let's Just Say ... Two ...!!

... Which Are!?!

Nothing Too Difficult:

Satisfy Self
Or
Glorify God!

Can't I Glorify God By Satisfying Self!?!

NO!!

Oh, Man!! 

Don't I Get Anything For Myself!?!

Sure, You Do!
Give God Glory By Setting Aside Self
And
Get God's Gifts Of Grace And Faith
His Blessings Of Peace And Rest
Truth And Righteousness
Forgiveness And Salvation
Hope And Glory!!

You Said Glory!
Do I Really Get Glory!?!

You Surely Do!

You Must Willingly Give God Your Life
Which Is His To Begin With
And
You Get The New Beginning
- Eternal Life -
Which Is ALMIGHTY God's Gift To Give
To The Enduring Faithful At This World's Sure End!

The New Beginning!
I Can Really Relate To New Beginnings!
I Know A Lot About Starting All Over Again!

Then You Should Have No Problem
Starting ...!

... A New Life With Jesus Christ!

I Get It!
My Life Is Not My Own!
He Could Take It
But He Desires Me To Give
Aka Gift It Back To Him!

Wow!
This Is Amazing!
I Can Give God An Unique Gift
That Not One Other Creature Can Give To Him!

I Can Give Almighty God, Myself!
I'm Special!
I Can Bless God!
I Shall Bless God ...!

... Before You Go Totally Overboard
With Your Wonderful Gift To God
Let's Talk A Little Bit About ... Pride!

It's Like This ...

If You Have A Gift To Give To Almighty God
But 

You Become So Enamored
So Proud Of The Contents

And

The Uniquely Beautiful Wrapping
That You Proudly Believe 

That You Have Lovingly Prepared
And
You Do Not Humble Yourself

By Setting Aside Self Before Your Maker

And

Deliver The Gift To That Holy Recipient

It Is A Present To ... Your Proud Self!

...!!!

 The Proud One Is Never Humble!

The Humble One Faithful Is Never Proud!

Grace And Mercy Bless The Humble Faithful

And

The Cries Of The Damned Proud Will Be Loud!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Celebration Train!

I Could Hear Music In Anything

And
The Celebration Train's Wheels
Were
- To Me At Least -
Musically Turning!
I Could Hear Them Plainly Singing!

Perhaps It Was My Guilty Conscience
- Valiant -

Ever Working ... For My Good
Projecting The Song I Was Hearing!

When It Was Going Slowly, It Said:

Backslide!
Chastise!

Confess!
Deliver!

When It Picked Up Speed, It Said:

You Backslide! 

God Will Chastise! 

You Confess! 

God Will Deliver!

I Was Amazed!

I Looked Around To Share My Discovery
But
Everybody Else Was Carrying On
- Into Self -
Trusting Mr. Good Vibes

- Our Decidedly Amiable Host -
To Make The Party Stay Alive!

I Had Been, Too ... Before
But, NowI Was No Longer So Sure
That This Party Was For Me
Because
I Knew That The Later It Got
People Would Really Start Behaving Badly!

Previously

I Would Have Joined Them Gladly!

Lord, What To Do?!
What Do I Do!?
I Have Not A Clue!

I Can Hear Working Conscience's Refrain!
How Do I Get Off
This Going Nowhere Train?!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Huh?!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Get Off This Train

Before It Reaches The Fjord!

What Fjord?!
This Train Is Not Supposed To Be Crossing Any Water!
The Old Bridge Is Out Of Commission!
If It Tries
There Will Be A Slaughter!

Stop The Music!
Stop The Revelry!
Stop That Music!
People! People!
Listen To Me!

Shut Up! Shut Up!            

                You're Spoiling Our Fun!

Shut Up! Shut Up!                           

             Grab A Drink And ... SIT DOWN!!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

This Is An Emergency!

I Could Still Hear The Voice Speaking:

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

In A Spiritual Emergency

Non-Performance

In Almighty God's Eyes

Is

Treason!

I Pulled The Emergency Cord!

People Cursed And Cried Out!
They Spilled Their Drinks And Snacks!
Some Fell On The Floor
But
Their Lives Were Saved 

To Hear Me Excitedly Say:

Almighty God Visited His Mercy On Us Today!

We Were Heading Over The Bridge!

What Bridge?!

We Are Not Supposed To Be Crossing The Bridge?!?

Exactly!

Lord Jesus!

I Heard

I Heeded The Spirit's Warning!

If The Train Had Dared To Make The Crossing

None Of Us Here Would Now Be Talking!

We Were Going In The Wrong Direction!

We Would've Had Not An Ounce Of Protection!

People! People ...!

... Wait A Minute!

Where's The Driver?!

Where's Mr. Good Vibes?!

Where's The Host!?! 

He's Not Here!!

Gracious Me ...!

Brethren,

As The Story Goes

So Goes Life!

Satan Encourages Us

To Do Wrong

To Wrong The Living God

And

Then He Leaves Us

Me And You

- Deceived -

To Face Whatever Is Sin's Just Reward!

Let Us Trust God And ... Walk Straight!

Let Us Deny The Vile, Wily, Liar

And

Walk As Becomes The Overcomer Of

Sin Self And Satan

And

In The Appointed Day

We Shall Walk - By Right -

Through Heaven's Pearly Gate

Having Avoided

Satan And His Witting Companions' 
Designated Fate!

Let Jesus Walk You Safely Home!

Leave The Party-Hard
Fast-Talking

Hurry-Up Drivers

To Themselves!

Let Them Go To Hell On Their Own!

HAPPY SABBATH + What Holy God!?!

... I Don't Have To Get In A Slinging Match With You!

I Am Not Getting In Any Match With You
But
I Will Say This:

Flesh! Be Not Proud
For You Are As The Grass
And
All That You Glory In
Is A The Flower On That Grass!

I Warn You:  The Burning Heat Of The Sun Is Coming!

Who Are YOU To Warn ME?!
Do You Know Who I AM?!

Yes, I Know Who You Are

And

I Am Not Impressed
And
I Know What You Do
And
I Feel Great Sympathy
No! Great Pity For You
And
I Pray The Living God Will Have Mercy On Your Soul!

Sympathy For Me!?!
You Must Be Mad!
I Don't Need Your "Living" God
And I Have No Need Of His Mercy!

The Lord Rebuke You!

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

Man ... A Mere Man
A Creature Created
Unable To Sustain His Own Body
By The Dint Of His Own Will

Declares That
Has No Need Of His Own Creator
The Sustainer Of His Daily-Dying Body
The Preserver Of His Own Soul
The God Who Could Destroy His Body
His Very Soul In ... Hell!

How Did We Get Here
Where A Mere Man
With The Arrogant Assurance Of Ignorance
Says To His Soul

And
To Those Impressed By His Eminence:

I Believe In God

And I Believe In Me: Same Person!

It Takes A Truly Confident
Or A Truly Ignorant 

Even Demon-Indwelt Individual
To Call Himself God!

May The Living God Forgive Us Our Daily Follies
As We Walk Through Life Looking For Jollies
Refusing To Believe
That The Time Clock Is Running Down
And
Treating Our Maker
Our Only Savior
Like He Is A White Boot
Red Nose
Circus Clown

Just To Curry Popular Favor!

The Next Question Asked Was:

What Did Your God Ever Do For Me?!

In Answer ...

If You Will, Let Me Show You:

The Almighty God Has Provided To You
LIFE Health
FOOD Shelter
WILL Way
TRUTH Light
FEET Eyesight
EARS Speech

Blessing Of Rest

Suffered Death For You On Hill Calvary

Purchased Your Redemption With His Own Blood

Calling You To Salvation

Building You A Kingdom Mansion IF You Claim It

Fashioning You A Gold Crown IF You Ask For It

Interceding For You With The Father IF You Desire It

Provides You  With The Comfort Of His Holy Spirit IF You Request It

24/7 Recording Angel 

Grant Of Eternal Life IF You Want It

Escape From The Fiery Indignation IF You Claim It

Flights To Worlds Unknown

Back Up Just A Smidge!

House?! 

Gold Crown ...?! 

Careful Now!

Your Greed Is Showing ...! 

... Recording Angel?! 

Eternal Life?! 

Yes! Eternal Life

Aka Everlasting Life

Life Without End

Eternal Bliss

Eternal Youth! 

I Could Use Some Eternal Youth

Right About Now!

Let's Not Forget That

The Recording Angel Records

Every Single Solitary Iota

That We Do - Good Or Bad -

Every Single Moment Of Every Single Day

No Vacation! 

Oh, Dear!! 

And

There Is No "Some" Eternal Youth!

This Is An All Or Nothing Proposition!

Oh ...! Okay!! 

Do You Still Want To Believe That

You Have No Need For Almighty God?! 

Wellll ... Based On The Preponderance Of

The Provided Evidence Now On The Record

I Reserve Unto Myself

The Right

Even The Privilege 

To Have A Change Of Position

Away From That Of The Gross Illuminated!

What Did He Just Say?!

He Has Had A Change Of Heart

And

He Has Changed His Mind?!

So Why Didn't He Just Say So!

Face Saving Measure! 

He Is Still Proud ...! 

... But Jesus Will Do A Good Work In Him! 

Open Our Eyes, Lord

And

Help Us To See Jesus Christ As He Is

And

Bless Us With Holy Wisdom

So That We May Humble Ourselves

Before You

And

Cast Away Every Idol

And

Choose Life Everlasting

In The Eternal City!!

AMEN!!!

The Garden Of Graces: Way Of Life Decisions!

I Sowed Seeds Of Kindness
Love And Tenderness
And
Wonderfully They Grew!
I Also Thoughtlessly Sowed Seeds Of 

Bitterness
Hate And Envy, Too
And
Would You But Know It
Bitterness Hate And Envy
Grew Gargantuan Large
And
Sought To Boldly Strangle
My Cherished Kindness Love And Tenderness
And
Realizing Its Error

My Poor Heart Was Aghast!

I Despised Bitterness!
I Hated Hate!
I Deplored Envy
And
These Three I Sought To Obviate
Because
Left Unchecked
Or Simply Ignored
They Act Like Hungry Climbers
Seeking A Mountain Top
So I Had To Find Their Roots
And
Give Them The Malicious Chop!

Bitterness Was Downright Dodgy!
Hate With Hat Tricks Has Sought Often
To Trip Me Up
And
Envy
With Its Electric Persona
Had Expressed Fulminating Desire
To Cook Fry Broil
Burn Me Up!

I Was In A Quandary!
I Was A Straight Betwixt Two!
I Was Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
And I Knew ... Then
That Only Jesus Christ Could Would Save Me!

The Question Must Be Asked ...

Would I Of Necessity And Heartfelt Love

Willingly Bend To The Higher Power
Or
Would I Lie Down With The Enemy!?!
Would I Fall On The Rock Of My Salvation
And
Be Broken
To Be Forever Saved
Or
Would I Cultivate Damnable Pride
And
End Up Being ... To Known Sin
A Marked For Eternal Death Slave!?!

Woe Is Me!

Decisions!
Decisions!
Way Of Life Decision Collisions! 

I Saw The Light ...

Desire To Live With The Almighty God

Forever

In Perfect Peace
Made The Only Decision Left For Desperate Me:

Come Into My Life, Lord Jesus!

I Surrender The Old Man To Thee! 

Come Into My Life, Lord Jesus

And

Cause The Devil's Known Henchmen To Flee!

I Prostrated My Self
My Heart
My Will
My Way
My Body
My Soul
My Spirit
Before The God Of All Grace
My Savior
My Redeemer
And
Pleaded For Relief
To Get Rid Of The Roaring Raging Schemer!

There Was The Battle Royale
The Grudge Match
The Winner Take All Play-Off

And
The Cage Match
I Thought I Was Sunk
Until
I Gladly Remembered
Who Died To Save Me

And
Who Was Interceding For Me

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
I Surrendered ... Completely!

There Was To Be No Mrs. Lot Look-Back Action From Me
And
That Is When I Saw
My Victory Over Sin In Christ Jesus
And
Bitterness Hate And Envy
From My Garden Of Graces
Had To, Had To, Flee!

I. Was. Free.

Thank You, Very Much!

From Then On ...

I Meticulously Prayerfully Tended
My Fruit Of The Spirit!
Everything Planted There Was Meticulously Observed
And 

I Meticulously Followed The Directions
Given Me By My Master
My Lord And My God
And
From Then
Under The Prompting Of 

The Holy Spirit Of The Living God
I Walk Holy
Because, BecauseI Am Striving For The Promised Glory
And
The Untold Blessings
Awaiting The People Of 

The God Who Is Truth And Righteousness
In The Great Reward!

I, By Almighty God's Great Grace

Am D.O.N.E. Finished

With The Ways Of 

The Damned-For-All-Eternity Fraud!

Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Praise God!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!

A Word To The Wise Is Always Sufficient!

A Life Built Solely On Intellectual Greatness

And
Material Wisdom
Leads To A Life Given Over To Idolatry
Which Encourages One To Deify Vice

And
Will Only Lead The Sinful Soul
The Holy Living God To Defy
And
To Daily Indulge Corruptions
And
Abominable Practices
More And More Bold!
The Heart Will Be Gross And Cold!

When One's Eyes Look In
Look Down
And
Look All Around
The Visual Feast Calls
Like Folklore's Bewitching Siren's Sound
And
Satisfying Self Is Made
God On The Heart's Throne
And
Experimental
Experiential Living
Is All That Allegedly Delights
Or Supposedly Uplifts
The Acknowledged And Known Carnal Soul!

Education
Wealth

And
Access To The World's Great Houses
Will Never Satisfy
And
The Continual Sinking Into 

Deeper And Darker Damnable Depravity
Is All That Will Suffice
The Acquisitive Soul's Greedy Eye!

Look Around!
Look Around!
See!
The Greedy Stomach Cannot Be Filled!

Look Around!
Look Around!
Hear!
There Is The Sound Of Debauched Merry-Making!
Hear Also The Cries Of Innocence Destroyed!
Hear Also The Plea Of The Soul
Looking
Longing
For The Dear Place That Is Truly Home!

Drugs!
Alcohol!
"Changing Sex!"
Remaking Self To Be Relevant!
Demands For Popular Attentions!
Seeking Bodily Satisfaction
And
Urging The Self Toward First Place
In The Public Domain
To Cover The Longing Of The Soul
That Needs Its Creator
- Who Is The Holy God -
Will Never Find For That Soul
It's True Fulfillment
With The Offered-Up Fripparies Of
The Base And Damned Fraud!

Friend,
I Implore You:
Seek Christ And His Righteous
If
It Is Your Desire
Into The Living Kingdom To Be Saved!

Deny Self!
Deny Sin!
Deny Satan
And
The Soul's Savior Seek
And
Know Of A Surety That
You Must Be Humble!

You Must Have A Soul Meek!

You Must Not Seek The First Place
Unless It Is Your Heart's Desire
Your Brethren To Serve
And
You Must Not Accrue To Yourself Riches
That To Help Others
Will Never Be Disbursed!

The High And The Lofty
The Proud And The Profane
Nor
The One Who Does Not
His Need Of The Savior See
Will Never Have Peace With Almighty God
And
Will Never Enter
The Saints Promised And Sure
Great And Glorious Reward!

The Earth Is Man's School!
The Second Coming Is Man's Graduation
And
Only Those Who Were

Who Are Diligent
And
By Jesus Christ's Enduring Faith
Faithfully Completed
Their Necessary Earthly Education
May Lay Claim To What The Savior Has Promised
And
Prepared
For Those Willing Sin-Overcomers!

Please, I Beseech You

Seek The Lord Christ Now
While The Door Of Mercy Is Open!!
Accept The Free Salvation Now
While Blessed Grace Is To All, Free!
Pick Up Truth
Which Now Is In The Street Cast Down
And
Stop Exchanging
Calling
Bitter, Sweet
Darkness, Light
Lie, Truth
Wrong, Right
Inordinate Affection, A Delight
And
The Savior Of Mankind

An Enjoyment Of Life Blight!

I Implore You

To Please Take Truth Into Your Inward Parts

And
Repent Of Known Sin
So That You May Be Saved!

Firmly, With A Thus Saith The Lord

Deny The Liar
And
His Smoke And Mirrors Entertainments
And
Choose To Live For And Love
The Lord Jesus Christ
And
You Will Receive
To Forever Enjoy
Heavenly Elevation!

Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost!
The Saved Are Sin-Free!
They Speak Without Guile
And
The Savior Is Their Life-Guide!

The Holy Spirit Is Their Comforter
And
The Holy Angels Influence Them For Good
And
They Are Their Protection
And
These Children Of The Great God

Do Not Indulge Themselves
With Inordinate Affections!

Heaven Is Home!
Christ's Followers Never Walk Alone
And
They
- Without Exception -
Realize And Accept
That Jesus Christ For Their Own Sin
Did Completely Atone!

I Encourage You To Please Pray To God The Father
In The Name Of God The Son
Under The Direction Of God The Holy Spirit
For Your Life Of Sin
And
Satisfying Self
To Forever Be Done! 

Please Pray For The Brethren

And
Ask The Lord To Help You To Exercise Daily Faith

And

Fall On The Rock And Broken
And, TherebyAccept Your Reserved-In-Heaven Place!

Turn Away From Idols!
Cultivate A Deep Love For Almighty God's Truth!
Bless Others and Bless The Eternal God
And
In The Fullness Of Time
By Almighty God's Appointing
You Shall Enjoy Eternal Youth!

Remember, Friend
Only Jesus Christ Saves!
Only Jesus Christ Gives The Soul True Peace!
Only Jesus Christ The Soul Satisfies!
Only Jesus Christ Provides Eternal Treasures
And
Those Treasures Without Measure!

Friend,
Be Not Proud And Self-Sufficient!
Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of Almighty God
And
Accept The Plan Of Salvation
And
Your Own Soul
Save! 

The Sophistries Of Satan Will Surely Fail

But
The Truth Of The Living God Will Forever Stand

And 
You, Alone, Will Decide
Whether You Will Become A Citizen Of
The Heavenly Land!

Thanks Kindly For Listening!
In Jesus Christ's Name
Please Have A Blessed Day!
Peace Be Unto You!
