Constant Praying Is A Necessity + PRAYER: Father, Make Me To Be Like You!

Every Man, Woman, Child Has An Adversary

The Bold Enemy

Who Wants To Pounce On Us

When We Don't Say Grace Before And After Meals

When We Go To Bed

When We Arise From Sleep

When We Receive A Blessing 

When We Desire A Blessing 

When We Are In Fear

When We Have Overwhelming Care

When We Desire Leading

When We Are Saved From A Distress 

When We Have Sin To Confess

When We Need To Bless God For His Dear Grace

When We Receive The Daily Gift Of Faith ...!

... Yes, Yes, Yes, I Hear All That!

What's Your Point!?!

The Point Is That Satan Is Ready, Willing
And
Well Able To Destroy Anyone One Of Us

Who Thinks ... Believes ... That

He Can Walk This World Alone

Without Certain Comfort ... Aid 

From Him Who Lovingly Made Us!

Oh. 

Is That All You're Going To Say!?!

Yes. 

come On Now!
What's Wrong With You!?!

Everything. 

Why Do You Say That!

Dunno. 

Huh!?!

Sorry! I Don't Know!

I Feel Off-Center!

Have You Been Doing Your

Forgetting That Without Christ Jesus

There's No You For You To Do!?!

Yes. 

Having You Been Praying!?!

For Yourself!?!

Sometimes.

Have You Lost Your Mind!?!

Probably. 

Well You'd Better Hurry Up

And 
Find It Real Fast!

Why?

No Christian Can Or Will 
Survive The Mortal Strife

The Warfare For Eternal Life

If 
They Do Not Have A Private, Personal, Prayer Life! 

Your Prayer Life Must Also Include You

And

Must Not Just Be For Others!

Without Constant, Personal, Prayer-Communication

With The Lord Christ 

We Are Nothing But Cannon Fodder

For Satan's Big Guns To Destroy!

I Don't Feel Good Always Begging God For Things!

Really!?!

If You Don't Go To The Father

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Who Do You Believe 

Is Going To Provide For You

Protect You

Direct You 

Correct You On The Pilgrim's Way!? 

No One!

How Often Do You Say

"Thank You, Father!" 

For The Daily Gifts Of Love That 
You Unfailingly Receive!?! 

Honest Answer Or Diplomatic!?! 

Diplomacy 
Is 
Not A Tactic Recognized In The Realm Of Prayer! 

Then The Truth Is Not Often Enough! 

We Could All Say "Thank You, Father!" 
More Often! 

You Know, 

We Don't Know How To Pray As We Ought!
The Bible Says That
And 

It Also Says That The Holy Spirit 
Interprets Our Prayers

With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered! 

Jesus Christ Presents Our Prayers To The Father

Perfumed By His Merit 

As Though The Prayer Is His Own! 

We Are Blessed!

Indeed!

Did Not Jesus Ask Us 

To Cast Our Every Care On Him

To Be Instant And Constant In Prayer

To Pray Without Ceasing

To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace

To Pray In His Name To The Father 

In Faith ... Nothing Wavering

To Believe He Is Able To Give Us What We Desire

To Have Faith

To Trust Him At His Word 

To Enduringly Obey!?! 

A Thousand Times, "Yes!"

Even Though Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Only Begotten Son Of The Eternal God
In His Human Incarnation

He Deeply Felt The Need To Pray 
To Constantly Communicate With His Father! 

Need!?! 

Need As In I Can't Stand By Myself And Prosper! 

Need As In I Feel Strong When You Are Near! 

Need As In You Are My Salvation! 

Wow! I Didn't Consider That! 

Most People Don't Either! 

Jesus Prayed For Strength

For The Bitter Cup
Separation From The Father
To Be Removed 

And

He Also Prayed For The Father's Will 
To Be Done By His Willing Obedience 

Even Unto Death

The Cruel Death On Calvary's Rugged Cross! 

He Also Prayed For Us, You And Me! 

Lacey, We Show Faith In

And

Reliance Upon The Lord

When We Step Out In Our Gift Of Daily Faith

Accepting The Blood Stained, Personal, Invitation

To Make Our Supplications ... With Thanksgiving

Known 

Unto God Almighty! 

Trust The Promises Given
And
Know That We Cannot Wear Out The Lord! 

We Can't Stop The Living God From Giving

- Blessing, Healing, Sealing
Leading, Feeding, Revealing -

His Good And Perfect Gifts! 

You Are Not Bigger Than Your Creator

So, Humble Yourself ... And Pray 

Plead, Beseech, Supplicate ... Beg! 

The Eternal God Doesn't Sleep

Doesn't Play Favorites 

And

His Storehouses Can Never Run Out Of Stock!
You Are Always First In Line! 

Bend ... Humble Yourself

And

He Will Lift You Up Mightily! 
Willingly Express Your Need For His Favor!

Thank ... Thank You For Your Kindness! 

I've Been Exceedingly Foolish! 

The Lord Loves Me More Than I Love Myself

And He Promises Never To Leave Me

Nor Forsake Me
And I Do Know That
Everything About Me Concerns Him! 

Indeed! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Am Sorry! 

Forgive Me, I Pray! 

I Have Been Very Foolish

Giving Satan Room In My Life

Unopposed To Play! 

I Have No Excuse, Lord! 

I Cannot Say I Was Not Thinking! 

I Have Been Skimping On Praying

And My Security Blanket

Has Been Slowly Tearing!

I Have Been Depriving Myself

Of 

Your Comfort

Your Leading

Your Blessing In My Life

And

In Repentance

I Come Confessing My Sin

So Please Forgive Me

And

Fix Me

And

Guide Me Safely Unto Your Eternal Life! 

I Need You, Dear Lord! 

Please Help Me So That The Longing For You

In My Heart Never Diminishes

But Exponentially Increases! 

Make Me To Be Like You! 

My Heart Is Pleading! 

I Love You! 

AMEN. 

BRAZEN DECEPTION: Two-Faced Aka The Pied Piper

There Is A Pied Piper Walking Abroad

Who Works Under-Cover For Wily King Fraud!

He Is Selling Common Good

Never Uses A Word Of Scripture

Or Blesses The Holy God Eternal Ever Good

And

Plays The Choir Master's Music That ... Apparently

By The Masses Cannot Be Withstood!

Man's Conscience 
Is 
The Commodity Being Retailed!

False Worship 
Is 
The Small Print Detail!

Flying In The Face Of The God Holy

Is 
Being Done Oh, So, Boldly

And 
Jesus Christ's True Believers 
From That Vicinity Need To Set Sail!

Free Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose

Are Personal Gifts To Every Soul

From Their Creator, Sustainer

Holy God And Conquering King

Who Guarantees That Man's Conscience 
Cannot Ever Be Coerced

And
Is Not For Selling Or Buying 

But

Under Direction Of The Lying Dragon

Who Wants Worship That Is Not His For The Taking

Mingled Wine ... False Doctrine 

Is 
Being Handed Out For The Drinking!

Now Back To The Show ...

The Dragon Who The Pied Piper Calls Boss

Is 
Lucifer Known As Satan

Who From Almighty God's Glorious Presence

Was Given The "You Don't Live Here Anymore

Be Gone Forever" Toss!

His Merciless, Self-Assigned, Mission 
Is 
To Kill And To Deceive

To Gain An Army Against The Lord

Which The Masses Provides
- By Their Misguided And False Worship -
And
Which He Gleefully Receives!

Said Pied Piper ... Ever Quick To The Knee

Is 
Sinner In Chief!

From Him, I Bid You, With Alacrity, To Flee! 

Be Very, Very Careful ...

Sweet Words Greedily Swallowed

Have A Nasty Knack Of Burning

When Digested

And

When Exiting In The Draught!

Problem Is That They Cannot Be Taken Out 

Nor Pushed Back!

To Their Baleful Effects 

The Incautious Are Sitting Ducks

And

When Called To For Help

Their Purveyor Cries:

Sorry, Bippy! 

Sadly, Sadly, You Are Out Of Luck! 

Let's Go There ...

A Little Poison Mixed With Cool-Aid Kills

And

A Little Error Mixed With Truth 

Does, Indeed, Saving Hope Kill

And

Breaking Almighty God's Commandments For Bodily Comfort

Economic Gain

A Loaf Of Stale Bread

And

In An Effort To Forestall Sure Pain 
Will Not Permit The Offender ... By His Presence

The Courts Of Heaven To Attain!

Get Real: Don't Worship In Vain! 

Too Good To Be True
Too Cheap To Be Real
Too Free To Be A Blessing ...

Bells And Whistles
And

Baubles And Beads

Are Free To All Takers At The Carnival

At The Bacchanal All Day

Where The Fee To Participate

Is

Your Already Purchased By Jesus Christ Soul! 

The Urge To Sin Is Innately Strong!

The Temptation To Sin

Is 
Fascinatingly Long

And

Fat And Happy Pied Piper

Who, Straight-Faced, Boldly Lies

Racks Back With His Boss Man

And

Laughs With Much Jollity

Until Crocodile Tears Falls From Narrow, Lying, Eyes
At All Those Unwary Who Fall For Their Idiocy! 
We Must These Liars Deny, Defy!

Soft Words, Gentle Touches

And
Deftly-Done Exposures Of Kid Gloves

Hide A Black Cold Heart

And

A Thick, Wicked, Unwearied, Iron Fist!

Do What I Say ... And Live 

Is 
The Sold Word:

Follow Me To Soul Damnation 

And

All That Ails You

And

Earth

Will Be Forever Cured!

But

Brethren, Be Warned That

It Is For All Such That

The Lake Of Fire Burning With Brimstone 

Is 
"Being Warmed!" 

The Facts Of The Matter ...

The Lord Jesus Christ, Himself

Is

Going To Destroy This Earth

Which Waxes Old Like A Garment

So Keep Your Free Will 
And 
Your Free Choice To Yourself

And

Don't Invest Them In Creation's Great Fraud 
Who Wants To Be God:

The Lord Promises To Provide You

Sure Water And Bread! 

Don't Be By Sweet Nothings Be Misled! 

Choose Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Raised Himself Up From The Dead! 

Almighty God Creates

And

He Can Destroy!

Getting Down To Brass Tacks ...

The Story Book Pied Piper ... Uninvited

Turned Up And Played The Tune

That He Suggested

To Get Rid Of Rats, The Plague, The Destruction

And

For The Encore

He Took Their Prized Possessions

Their Merrily Dancing, Parading, Children:

The Last Thing They Saw Was Their Backs

When They ... The Power Elite
Refused To Uphold Their End Of The Bargain

To Pay For Their Tune

Which Provided Their Desired, Received, Relief!

Satan Destroys! 

The Pied Piper Had Named His Ridiculously Small Price
To Relieve Them Of Their known Great Problem! 

They Offered Him 50 Times More For Personal 
Physical, Emotional
And 
Economic Relief! 

If You Didn't Request

A Proposal For Relief

Don't Accept The Strange Bidder

Nor Their Too Good To Be True Bid!

Being Dishonest
By Their Own Admission

They Owed The Bill They Had Agreed To Have Generated

And

He Being A Bounder

Knowing Human Nature ... By Long Study

And 
With Nothing To Lose

Took From Them What Could Not His Heart Fill

But 
What Would His Insatiable Thirst For Vengeance 
Exponentially Thrill!

You Destroy A Society

By Destroying Its Children!

Children's Stories Of Old

Were Often Adult Morality Tales

And

I Tell You This Story

To Let You Know That

The Word Of God Almighty

Cannot, Will Not, Fail!

The Lord Jesus Christ

Is

Coming For A People For Himself Prepared

A People Whose Mouths Speak No Guile

Whose Hearts With Their Maker Doth Abide

And

Who Know Their True Home 
Is 
Where Their Lord 

Their Perfect Peace

Does Gloriously Abide!

Glory Awaits

The Believing

Enduring, Faithful!

Know The Right ... 

Lies Unravel

And

All Liars Unrepentant

Shall In The Lake Of Fire Perish!

Do Not To Yourselves

Falsehoods Cherish! 

The Devil Is The Father Of Lies

And

Those Who Follow Him

Are His Children!

We Have An Anchor 

For Our Souls ... 

Reason With Your Maker:

Go For The Long Game!

Don't Settle For The Easy Fix!

Risk All On Christ Jesus

Because

With Him As Your Guardian, Guide And Stay

Everything Given Up For Him

Results In Eternal Reward!

Never Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay!

The Benevolent Pied Piper 

Is

A Satanically Activated And Inspired Fraud!

Trust Your Creator, Redeemer

Your Only True Friend 

Jesus Christ The King 

Our Soon-Returning Lord! 

He Is The Eternal, Holy, God!

Jesus Christ Saves!

Do Not Cheat On The Holy God:

He, Alone, Saves!

Any Help Offered

Any "Gift" Received From The Hands Of Satan

Always Costs

Always Enslaves!

I Repeat ... You Repeat:

Jesus Christ Saves

And

Frees The Enslaved! 

Trojan Horses 

Greeks Bearing Gifts

And

Pied Pipers 

All Do The Same Thing:

They Destroy Without Conscience!

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

Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Book It!

Climb Up Higher!

A Willing Servant
Is 
More Profitable Than A Skilled Gainsayer!
An Obedient Heart
Is 
More Beneficial Than A Proud Head!
An Old Dog Is Better Than A Dead Lion
And
The Love Of God Willingly, Wittingly, Imbibed
Leads Away From The Ways Of The God-Fraud
And
Always To The Great Reward Given
By Jesus Christ The Lord!

Facts Matter ...

Truth Cannot Die!
Lies Cannot Profit!
Wisdom Is For The Wise
And
Fools Are Always Short Of It!

Twins Are Born Singly ...

Following The Multitude Always Leads To Disaster
Because
The Loud Mouth
The Aggressive Stance
The Unwillingness To Think For Self
The Willing Ignorance To Truth And Right
Always Leads The Followers
To Experience That Which Shall Surely Blight!

Good Gifts ...

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Gives To Every Man, Woman, Child
A Sovereign Will 
And 
Personal Choice
Never To Be Forced Or Traded
And
Never To Be Used Aka High-Jacked
To Permit Others Over You To Rejoice!

One Working Brain To A Man ...

Let Us Think For Ourselves
Using The Word Of The Living God As A Back-Prop
A Corner Stone
A Foundation
Walls
Roof
Guard Tower
And
For Bread And Water
Trusting That The Word 
Is 
Sacred ... Ever True ... Unchangeable
Unfailing
And 
Always Relevant
For The High, The Lowly
The Rich, The Poor
For Me And For You!

There Is The Day Coming
For The Unrepentant Sinner
And
The Redeemed Saint
And
Ready Or Not
The Lord Jesus Christ ... The Judge Ever Righteous
Is
Going To Settle All Accounts!
Now Is The Acceptable Time
To Have Errors In The Current Account
Erased ... Rubbed Out! 

VACUUM: Only Jesus Christ Fills The Spot!

How Often Have We Heard Or Said:

I'd Be Happy With ...! 

I'd Be Happy If ...! 

I'll Be Happy When ...! 

I'll Be Happy There Where ...! 

You Got "It!" 

Are You Happy Yet!?! 

I'm Personally Still Waiting!

Since You're Not Happy

And

Will Never Be

May I Offer You The Perfect Suggestion!?! 

Perfect!?! 

Who Are You Working For!?! God!?! 

As A Matter Of Fact

Despite Your Question Being Of
The Sarcastic Persuasion

I Do ... I Am Actually Working For Almighty God! 

I Am An Ambassador For Christ

And

I Am Here To Offer You

The One Answer That

Will Fix Whatever Is Ailing You! 

Man, If You Can Do That For Real

I'd Take That Medicine In A Heart-Beat

And I'd Love You Forever

And That's A Promise!

I Have Had Four Wives!

I Have Nine Children

Three Mortgages And A Failing Business

And My Present Family Is Falling Apart!

I Can't Sleep!

I Am Always Hungry!

My Heart Is Always Racing!

My Blood Pressure Is Through The Roof

I've Tried Every Religion In Town

And, Yet, I'm Not Satisfied 

And I Feel ... Really Feel

That I Am Missing Something 

Or Some One In My Life

That I Shouldn't Be Living Without! 

I Need Help Badly

And You Say That You Can Help Me! 

What's It Going To Cost

And How Soon Can I Get It!?! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Help!
The Cost Is Free!

It's Available Now!

You Can't See It

But

You Can Read About It This Very Minute! 

Okay, Okay!
Hit Me!

Open This Envelope

And Read What's Written There! 

It's Short And It's Powerful! 

Let Me Be The Judge Of That!

Maaan, This Says Psalm 84:2!

This Is From The Bible! 

I've Got Five Of Them Home

And They Serve No Purpose! 

Do You Open Any One Of Them

To Read!?! 

Well, No ... Why Are You Smiling!?! 

You'll Find Our Very Soon! 

Please Read The Text Aloud! 

Naaah! Impossible! 

How Could This Note ... From A Known Dead Letter 
Tell What I'm Feeling!?! 

Thank You For Reading! 

It Can And It Did

Because

Being The Truth
- The Living Word Of The Eternal God -

It Cannot Die! 

Now, Please Listen To Me Very Carefully:

There Is That Part Of Every Human Being 
Which Calls Out For

- That Needs To Be Near -

Its Maker, God, And King

In Whose Image 
And 
Likeness 
We Are Made! 

No Drug, Relationship, Work

Or Orgiastic Excess 
Will Supply Our Need For King Jesus 

So We Should Not Waste Precious Time Seeking For 

And 

Indulging In 

What Will Not Satisfy, Heal, Relieve
Save, Seal, Help 

Or Cause Us To Have Peace, Rest 

Or ... True Happiness! 

Jesus Christ Is Calling 

And 

That Which Causes Us To Live 

Is

Responding! 

The Breath Of Life Comes From God 
And 

Goes Back To Him When We Die! 
Shouldn't We Go To God Now

While We Live And Breathe

To Find Rest For Our Souls 

While It Is Today!?! 

Glory Awaits The Believing! 

Now Before I Part From You

Please Open My Bible And Read 
The Last Two Verses Of The Marked Psalm 84!

Very Well!

Grace! 
I Know About Grace!
I Need Grace!

We All Do, Friend!

Blessings!?! 

Blessings! 

Light And Protection!?! 

Light And Protection! 

No Good Thing Withheld!?! 

Nary A One! 

In That Case, You Don't Have To ... To
To Hit Me Over My Head With A Cudgel, Brother! 

I Need Jesus
And I Need To Open One Of Them Bibles 
And Get To Stepping With My Fingers As I Read! 

AMEN!!! 

I Pray That You'll Have A Blessed Evening!
Please Remember To Say Your Prayers
And
Rest Peacefully In These Words:
