THE HEART OF MAN: Wickedness!

The Heart Of Man
- Unchanged By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
Is 
In All Aspects Amazingly Vile 
Never Desiring To Do What Is Good And Right! 

Beloved, 

We Are Wicked 
And 
Marked For Death, Twice
When We Don't Have The Love Of God In Our Hearts! 

Wickedness Is Of The Genus "I Plan This!" 
It Is Out Of The Pot "Devilish Doings!" 
And 
It Destroys All Who Are The Bold, Unrepentant, Sinners 
Asking "What God!?!" 

Consider This ...

Wickedness 
Is 
Like Avidly Licking An Uncut Ghost Pepper 
And Saying 
"Wow! This Is Nothing!
I Could Eat This All Day Every Day! 
I Love It!" 

And Then

You Nonchalantly Start Biting It
And Chewing It 
And Can't Swallow It 
And Can't Spit It Out
And You Want Your Mommy 
And Your Daddy
Your Doctor
Your Lawyer
And
The Hated Undertaker ... When All Hope Is Known Lost

And Then ... Remembering

You Call On The Name Of The Lord Who Saves Sinners
Who Then ... On Your Earned Paycheck 
For The Wages Of Sin, Says: 

"Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You!" 

Brethren,

Burning Mout'
Burning Belly 
And 
Burning Body In The Burning Lake Of Fire 
Ain't Worth It
Ain't Worth Being Wicked
Ain't Worth Being A Willing Sinner
Ain't Worth Being An Unrepentant Sinner
Ain't Worth Paying For A Crime That's Already Paid For! 

In All Humility
I Beseech Us All To Stick With Jesus Christ 
Our Lord The King
And 
Choose To Live Right! 
Innumerable Blessings Await The Righteous! 

Find Your Peace

In The Lord Of Life

Who Is Coming To Take Us To

Our Forever Home!

Mercy ... For Me And Thee!

The First Facet Of Almighty God's Character 
As Revealed To Moses
As He Abode Safely In The Cleft Of The Rock 
Secured By God's Own Hand
Was Mercy! 

Just So You Know
Mercy Includes Loving-Kindness
Grace, Compassion
And 
Forgiveness
And 
No Human Born Of A Woman Has Any Right 
To The Great And Known-Immense
Known-Infinite Mercy Of The Eternal God! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Gift Freely Given To Us Bold, Brash Sinners 
Who Deserve God's Justice! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
We Cry Out To The Lord To Hear Our Prayers 
And 
We Ask Him To Also Have Mercy On Us! 

Also Is Interesting In That It Means That 
We Have Hope ... Expectation ... That 
This Great God Will Add The Blessing Sought 
Because 
He Is Well Able! 

Be Wise ...

There Is The Day Coming 
When All Who Refuse The Free Gift Of Mercy-Now 
Will Plead For Mercy-Then 
But
Almighty God's Justice
Unmixed With Almighty God's Mercy
Will Be Thoroughly Poured Out! 

Soooo ...

Let's Not Be Amongst Those 
Who Know Not The Lord Christ ... The Truth,
Who Made Peace With The Father For Us 
So That We May Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving 
And 
His Courts With Joy-Filled Praise! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Rare Quality Which 
Is 
Found Only In Our God Almighty
Mighty To Save Us! 

Be Ye Armed And Thrilled ...

Humble Yourself And Pray
And 
Also Plead For The Forgiving God's Free Mercy 
To Bountifully Rest Upon You Today!  
Peace With Almighty God Is Free!

The Green Olive Tree

 

To Be A Green Olive Tree 

Is 

To Be Something Precious ... Beautiful

Bearing Good Fruit

Abundantly Fruitful

And 

Immensely Useful! 

Such Is The Lot

The Call

The Mission

The Duty Of All Who Will To Be Evergreen Christians 

In The House Of The Lord Of Life! 

The Lord Prunes Those Whom He Uses! 

Those Whom He Uses 
Are Equipped By The Lord ... Himself

To Do The Work That 
He Has Ordained To Be Accomplished! 

Those Whom The Lord Uses 
Unfailingly Put Their Trust In Him 

And 

Rest Under The Shadow Of His Wings 
Until The Terrors Of Life Are Passed 
And We

In The Fullness Of God's Timing

Stand In The Open

In The Glorious Kingdom

In His Glorious Presence ... Forevermore! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Lord Christ 

And 

Faith, Trust

And 

Enduring Obedience Are Required! 

Let's Take As The Lord Feeds Us By His Holy Spirit 

And 

Let Us Feed The World 
Known Hungry For Saving Truth! 

Let's Feed Others 
From Our Plate Of Good Food From God 

So That We May Receive 
More Good Food From God! 

The Lord Feeds The Green Olive Tree 
And 

The Green Olive Tree Feeds The World With The Golden Olive Oil

The Holy Spirit, Within! 

Talk Is Cheap: 

Get Up And Do A Good Work For Almighty God! 

Heaven At Any Personal Cost 
Is 
Cheap! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Whom Should He Send!?!

Is Your Faith

** Anchored **

In The Lord Of Life!?!

Know The Facts ...

The Obedient Child Of God 

Who Faithfully Goes Where He Is Sent

Always Comes Back Seeing! 

They Receive Eye-Sight

Acquire Insight

Benefit By Foresight

And 

Are Profited By Hindsight! 

Such An One Will Never Be Lost 

Or Suffer Lost 

Or Be Made To Pay Personal Costs 

No Matter Much The Personal Expense

Because 

He Who Sends Us Has Already Paid The Bill In Full! 

Know The Lord ...

Short Hands

Deaf Ears 

And 

A Cold Heart 

Are Not Part Of The Lord's Priceless Portfolio 

Because 

He Is Loving, Kind, Just, Faithful And True 

And, So

Going Where He Sends Is Best 

And, Therefore

Beautifully Beneficial! 

The Lord Of Life Is Asking: 

"Whom Shall I Send!?! 

Who Will Go For Us!?!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Always Polite
To Honestly Answer The Direct Question Posed
So Let's Ask Ourselves Whether We Really Want To Be 
Blessed By Him Whose Blessings Add No Sorrow To Our Lives 

And

Being Truly Satisfied That Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer
Is Also
Our One True Friend Who Offers Eternal Benefits
Let Us Gladly, Boldly, Say To Our Lord, God 
And 
Soon-Returning King 

Who Can Never Fail Of Blessing Us:

"Here Am I, Dear Lord! 

I Am Available To You! 

Commission Me

And

Equip Me For Your Service! 

I Am Willing, Lord! 

Send Me!" 

Remember ... 

He Who Sends You Goes With You 

And

His Holy Angels Are Watching Over You! 

Go In Peace 

And Love 

And Serve 
The Lord Of Life With Humility! 

The Commendation
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 
Awaits You! 

Keep Your Spirits High

With Thoughts Of The Truth

That Is No Pie In The Sky:

Anywhere With Jesus

I Can Safely Go!!

HAPPY SABBATH + COMPLETELY FORGIVEN: Holy Gladness ... Holy Boldness!

The Works Of The Lord Are Infinite! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Are Infinite! 
The Love Of The Lord Is Infinite
And

We Are The Crowning Work Of The Creations Of The Lord

Infinitely Blessed 

And 

Infinitely Loved! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Lord! 

We Sinned Against His Holiness 

And

He Chose To Die To Save Us

Because 
He Is Love Divine
And
Has Infinite Love For Each And Every One Of Us! 

We Are Precious In His Holy Sight
And

We Have His Guaranteed Gift Of Forgiveness 
Available ... Just For The Asking! 

Beloved, 

Since We Are Forgiven By Asking

Shouldn't We ... Completely Forgiven

Be Living With Holy Gladness 
Impossible To Be Destroyed By Time, Terror
Situation Or Circumstance!?! 

Shouldn't We ... Forgiven

And

Cleansed

Approach The Lord's Throne Of Grace With Holy Boldness 
To Make Our Requests Known Unto Almighty God 
Who Gives Every Good 
And 
Perfect Gift!?! 

Our God Is For Us! 
He Died For Us! 
He Lives For Us! 
He Provides For Us
And 
He Is Preparing A Heavenly Place For Us
So Let's Live In Holy Awe 
And 
With Grateful Thanks 
For The Amazing And Good Working Of Our Lord Christ
- Through The Holy Spirit - 
In Our Lives! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Our God Is The Good God: 
Talk To Him 
And
Talk About Him! 

Let's Praise Him From Whom All Our Blessings Flow! 
Peace! 

The Love Of God

Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Is Not
Delivered On A Curve
According To How Few Sins
We Daily Commit!

Jesus Christ Loves Us Each

As If We Are
The Only Human Alive
That
He Sacrificially Desires
To Personally Save!

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

Remember Your Value!

You Are Valuable

Because

The King Of Love

The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Savior Of Every Man

The Redeemer Of Mankind

The God Of Grace

The God Of Glory

The Creator God
God Almighty ... Mighty To Save

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

All-Feeling

Says

You Are Valuable!
Live Like You Know And Believe It!

THE LORD OF LIFE: He Forgets Not His Own!

No Matter What We Need
No Matter What Sorrow We Bear
No Matter What Trial We Face
Let Us All Choose To Remember 
And 
To Boldly Declare 

"The Lord

... My Lord The King ...

In Zion Reigneth 

And

I Belong To This King 

Whose Ear Is Not Deaf That

He Cannot Hear My Pleas 

Nor His Hand Short That

He Cannot Help Me!" 

Beloved, 

Our King Glorious 

Is 

Seated On The Throne Of His Majesty 
And 

He Reigns 
And 
He Rules! 

Our King Is No Absentee Landlord
Nor Is He Hiding Behind A Surrogate!

He Is Not A King In Exile! 

He Is Not A False God With Useless Head, Hands And Feet! 

He Has No Need Of Rest And Refreshing 

And 

Praise His Holy Name

He Has No Need Of Lying Advisors

Ego-Massage Therapists

Corrupt Bankers 

And 

Greedy Fixers 

To Guide, Help And Coddle Him Day By Day! 

Our God Is The God Almighty
Mighty To Save

And 

He Is Able!
He Forgets Not His Own! 

Our God Loves Us 

And 

He Encourages Us 
To Acquaint Him With All That Concerns Us 

Not Because 
He Doesn't Already Know Our Situation 
But Because 

He Desires To Build In Us

Our Faith, Trust, Hope And Obedience Capacity 

... Building Our Love Relationship ... 
Joining Our Hearts To His Heart

Joining Us To Him Who, Himself,

Is 

Our Hope

Our Home

Our Own! 
To Know Our Lord The King
Is 
To Love Our Lord The King
The God Of Grace
The God Of Glory!

Let's Be Bold!
Let's Be Brave!
Let's Believe To Be Blessed
And
Let's Worship Our Lord God The King 
With Our Prayers 

And 

Our Praise

Today And Always! 

To Know Him 
Is
To Have Perfect Peace! 

Dare To Trust

In

Jesus Christ The Lord ... Of Life!

Thou, Lord, Seest Me! + PRAYER ... For The Sick!

Beloved, 

We Have The God Of Grace 
And 
The God Of Glory As Our Holy God 
Who Helps, Heals 
And Restores
And Lifts Up 
And Elevates 
All Who Are Willing To Love 
And 
Trust, Worship, Obey
And 
Totally Depend Upon Him For Saving Grace! 

The Only Way That We May Fail To Receive Help
From The Lord Of Life
Is
When We Permit Working Faith
To Dissolve Into Decimating Doubt
And
We Turn Away From Lively Truth
And
Distrust Him Who Created, Preserves 
And
Provides For
And
Protects Us
And
Saves Us
And 
Ultimately Redeems Us To Himself!

Brethren,

Please Never Forget That
We Have The God Who Feels Whatever We Feel
Who Needs No One To Carry Him!
Our God Loves Us Each Personally And Sacrificially
And
No Created Being
No Circumstance
Can Separate Us From His Abiding Love!

PRAYER:

Father,

Today, I Bring Vannie, Lynn

Carey, Emmanuel, Doris

And

My Own Son, Galen

Before Your Throne Of Grace

And

Plead In The Name Of Our Jesus

Your Beloved Only Son

For The Healing That You, Alone

Can Provide! 

You Are Holy And Faithful

And

You Bless And You Save!

Please, Lord

According To Your Will

And

In Your Loving Way

For Their Good

And

For Your Glory

Please Grant Healing! 

Please Let The Test Playing Out Now

Become

The Personal Testimony In Each Life

That Will Tell Others The Good News That

Jesus Christ

The King Of Love

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Hope Of Every Man

Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Father,

We Bow Before Your Holiness

Knowing That You Have Granted Us

A Blessed Privilege

And, Indeed

A Matchless Gift Of Your Heavenly Love! 

Thank You, Lord

For Coming Down To Our Level

To Raise Us Up To Yours!

Pity Us, Lord

And

Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit

On Us Who Believe

The Blood-Bought Promises

And

Bless Us To Ever Praise Jesus

And

Glorify Your Great Name!

Please Let The Holy Angels Attend Us

And

Please Grant Us Your Peace

For We Ask These Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

The Name That Is Above Every Name!

AMEN!

THE HOLY SPIRIT'S CALL: Are You Listening!?!

We Who Call Jesus Christ Savior, Lord And God 
Are Nothing Without The Holy Spirit Of Truth
The Good Gift 
The Comforter By Whom We Are Sealed 
Against The Day Of Accounts 
- The Judgment Of Things Done In The Flesh -
Him Through Whom We Receive Light, Wisdom 
And 
Understanding! 

The Holy Spirit 
Is 
Here To Bless, Teach, Feed
Correct, Guide 
And 
Keep Us True To The Lord Christ Who Loves Us Best! 

Think About It Seriously ...

Why Would We Want To Douse The Fire That 
Keeps Us Truly Alive!?! 

We Don't Need To Learn From Our Own Mistakes
When We Have The Benefit Of The Record Of
Other People's Experiences
So Let Us Dare To Learn From The Past!

Pharaoh Of Egypt
Despised The Holy Spirit By Gross Denial 
And 
Rabid Resistance 
And Hardened His Own Heart Thereby 
And 
Destroyed His Own Nation
And
Himself! 
He Thought He Was God
And
Found Out That He Wasn't!

King Saul Of Israel
Refused, Rejected
And
Willfully Put The Fire Of Life In His Own Heart 
By Willful Disobedience 
And 
Self-Righteousness 
And
Left To His Own Devices
Then Sought Light Through The Darkness
Aka The Evil Of Witchcraft 
And
Died By His Own Hand, A Lost Soul! 

The Disciple Of Jesus Christ ... Judas Iscariot 
Sold The Eternal God That Is Our Jesus 
To Buy Perishable Silver! 
He Rejected Light ... Godly Counsel
- The Urging Of The Holy Spirit - 
In The Godless Belief That 
He Could Force Almighty God's Hand
To Perfect According To His Own Greedy Desires! 

Juda Iscariot Left Jesus' Side 
And
It Was Night Physically
And
It Was Night In His Life 
And
For His False-Hearted Machinations
He Ultimately Went Out From The Society Of
His Co-Conspirators
And
Cowardly Killed Himself! 

Beloved, 

The Counsels Of The Past Are For Our Learning
So Let's Be Wise ... Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation
And
Let The Holy Spirit Be Our Faithful Guide!
Eternal Love Gifted The Holy Spirit To Us! 

Let's Be Enduringly Obedient
And
Wait Patiently Upon The Lord Of Life
Because
At Journey's End
At The Return Of The Great King
Surpassing Glory Awaits The Blessed Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Live In Holy Light
And
According To Living Truth
So That We Will Be Eternally Blessed! 
Peace!

THE PERSONAL INVITATION: Cast Your Every Care On Jesus Christ The Lord!

What A Delightsome Privilege It Is To Know Of 

And 

To Be Able To Approach The Throne Of Grace 

- Where Sits The Eternal God
The Consuming Fire - 

And 

Cast Our Burden ... Our Every Care

Upon The Lord Of Life 

Who Sacrificially Loves Each One Of Us Personally 

And 

Infinitely! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Acknowledge How Truly Blessed You Are 

To Have A Personal, Open, Private Invitation 

To Appear Before The King Who Is Also The Judge

- Without Ungodly Fear - 

To Tell Him All That Concerns You 
And
Without Risk Of Condemnation 
Because Your Life Fall Seriously Short Of 
His Holy Standard Of Perfection! 

The Lord Can't Lie ...

Please Do Not Permit Anyone To Convince You That 

You Must Be Clean Before You Can Go To Our King
Because

Our King Accepts All Who Desire To Be In His Presence 

No Matter Our Prevailing Condition! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood ... Spilt On Calvary 

Makes Our Lives

- Filthy With Repeated Sin - 

Clean And White As The Driven Snow! 

Remember ... 

In Christ Jesus 
Is 
Our Perfect Peace

And

The Only Haven 
Where True Rest For Our Weary, Wandering Souls Is Found! 

Please Don't Be Prideful: 

Cease Your Wondering Over Your Load Of Sin 

And 

Boldly Walk To The Throne 

And 

Find God's Grace To Help You In Your Time Of Need! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Calling To You: 

Cast Your Burden On Him 
And 
Be Blessed Forever! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Cooperate With Christ

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Enjoy Eternal Life!
