TINY TERRORS: Jesus Christ Is The Joy Of Living!

Answer The Door! 

"But There's No One Knocking!" 

Listen Again, Beloved! 

Jesus Christ The Lord Is Softly Knocking! 

He Wants To Be With You

But

He Is A Gentleman 

And 

He Will Never Barge Into Your Life! 

Think About It ... 

Things, Mostly Good, Happen In Our Lives 

And 

We Walk Around Glad, Grateful, That 

We Are Blessed Of The Lord! 

But, Then, Other Things Happen 

Which Are Often Hurtful

Sometimes Harsh

Many Times Downright Cruel 

And 

We Cry Foul, Asking The Lord 

"Why Me!" 

Without Realizing Or Even Understanding That 

These Events Are Actually Knocks At Our Door 

Encouraging Us To Invite Dear Jesus Into Our Homes

Into Our Hearts

And

Into Our Confidence 

And

To Appeal To Him To Be The Kindly Light That 

Will Lead Us Safely, Gently, To His Heavenly Home 

Despite The Tiny Terrors

Gruelling Griefs

And 

Sorry Situations Of Daily Living! 

Dear Ones, 

When The Storms Of Life Are Shaking Your Lemon Tree 

And 

You Have An Unexpected And Bountiful Crop Of Lemons

Open Your Mind

Your Heart

Your Hand 

And 

Your Home To Jesus 

And

Bid Him To Take Control Of

And

Sweeten Your Life! 

Storms Don't Control Our Lives: 

Jesus Christ The Lord, The King Of Love, Does 

And

Since He, The Lord Of Life, Gives Us Life

Let's Let Him Be In Total Control Of Our Living! 

He Is Our Creator And Re-Creator!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge

And

The Kind And Faithful King

Is 

The Joy Of Living 

So Choose To Bless Yourself Today

By His High, Holy, Helpful And Healing Hand!

He Thinks On You Personally!

Open The Door 

And 

Enjoy Peaceful Living For Sure! 

Let Your Light Shine Before Men!

We Christians Are Called ... By Jesus Christ

The Light Of The World! 

How Sad It Is Then, That 

Most In The World Look Questioningly, Cross-Eyed

Or With Raised Eyebrows 

Wondering What Kind Of Christians Many Of Us Are

And 

Asking What Kind Of "Light" We Are Shedding! 

Beloved, 

Let's Take Heed To Ourselves!

 

Be Careful How You Walk! 

Be Mindful Of What You Say And Do! 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation 

And

See To It That Your Behavior 

Is Not 

Causing A Longing, Wandering, Seeking Soul 

To Turn Away From Saving Truth 

... And ... 

Be True To Your Calling 

To Be An Honest Steward

A Willing Witness

And 

A Loved, Loving, Child Of The Eternal God 

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

From This Moment On

By The Available Grace Of Our Loving God

And

By The Holy Spirit's Leading, Teaching, Feeding 

And 

Correcting

Let No One Have Cause To Question Your Christianity 

Or Your Commitment To Our Lord Christ! 

You Didn't Buy Your Name: 

It Wasn't On Sale! 

Your Name 

Is 

Blessed, Holy, Everlasting

A Gift Of The Holy God

A Deposit ... If You Will ... Toward The Great Day 

When Having Assimilated The Total Character Of Christ

You, Perfected, Immortalized, Glorified

Shall Enter The Family Home On High 

To Live Eternally! 

Pray For Oil And Light Up! 

Shine, Dear Christian!

Shine!

Don't Be Free Food For Satan!

 

When The Angel Of The Lord Sets Up Shop In Our Vicinity

We Can Rest Assured That 

Deliverance Will Be The Outcome For Us 

Who Fear Aka Hold The Almighty God In Awe: 

We Reverence His Majesty And His Power! 

Conversely, It Is Safe To Say That 

Those Persons Who Do Not Fear The Living God

Are Subject To The Malevolence Of Satan And His Fallen Angels 

Who Are Determined To Accomplish Their Destruction! 

Beloved, 

The Angels Of The Living God 

Are Here To Minister To Us 

Who Shall Be The Inheritors Of Christ's Free Salvation! 

Those Who Choose To Walk Under Their Own Banner

Doing Everything That Carnal Flesh Desires 

Are Free Food For Satan

The Roaring, Always-Hungry, Lion 

Looking For Someone Easy To Devour! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

You Forfeit The Protection Of Holy Angels 

When You Walk In Willful Disobedience To  

"Thus Saith The Lord" 

By Going Where You Shouldn't 

And 

Doing What You Ought Not To Do! 

The Holy Fear Of The Lord In Our Hearts 

Is 

Our Sure Safeguard Against Indulging 

In Presumptuous Aka Planned Sin Aka Iniquity! 

Doing Wrong When You Know To Do Right 

Is 

Lawlessness 

And

Lawlessness Is Sin 

And 

The Wages Of Sin Is Death! 

Be Wise: 

Walk Enduringly Faithfully 

And 

In The Will Of The Lord Of Life 

Who Constantly Blesses Us With Awesome Goodness! 

Dare To Fear Almighty God 

And 

Choose To Be Eternally Blessed!

Don't Rob Yourself!

Who Are You!?! 

Are You A One-Talent

Two-Talent 

Or A Five-Talent Servant In The Service Of Our King!?! 

Are You ... Like The One-Talent Servant

Not Even Trying To Work 

But

Are Condemning Your Lord 

And 

Burying Your Talent In The Cold Earth Like It's A Dead Rat!?! 

Are You Like The Two And Five-Talent Servants 

Who Multiply Their Talents 

By Willing Service 

And

Giving To Their Lord Double His Investment Upon His Return!?! 

Are You Being Wise And Faithful 

And

Being Blessed For Having Trust In Your Lord 

And

Embracing The Confidence That He Reposed In You 

By Doing Well In Your Work For Him!?! 

Beloved, 

None Of Our Lord's Workers 

Should Be An Unprofitable Servant! 

The Lord Our God ... Our Creator

Who Knows Us Each Better Than We Know Our Own Selves

Gives Us Talents According To Our Ability 

So Don't Look, Or Stop Looking, At What Others Have 

And

Stop Judging The Living God 

By Your Corrupt Thinking And Innate Laziness:

We All Suffer From The Same Disease!

 We Are Free Agents With Freedom 

And 

Free Will! 

We Know Right And Wrong: 

Because Of Sin We Know Good And Evil! 

Please Don't Short-Change Aka Rob Yourself! 

Please Deny Sinful-Self 

And

Choose To Be A Saint Of God In This Age 

Using Your Gifts, Talents, For Our Lord! 

The Fields Are Ripe For Harvest

But

The Available Workers Are Few!

Be Warned ... 

Like It ... Or Not

Accept It ... Or Not

Whatever Talent We Receive From Our Lord

- Improved Or Not - 

Must Be Accounted For In The Judgment

So Do Yourself ... Your Soul ... A Favor

And

Willingly Choose To Know Your Gifts

And

Use And Improve ... Increase ... Them 

In The Service Of The Great King Blessed Forever! 

I Beseech Us All, Brethren

Dare To Work Wise Until Jesus Christ Comes! 

The "Well Done Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Awaits You, And Me, Too! 

Every Child Of Almighty God

Every Servant Of Almighty God

Has A Work To Do For Almighty God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Righteous Living Is Not A Jail + No Repentance After Death!

Speak Softly! 

Be Kind! 

Do Good! 

Act Right! 

We Represent Jesus Christ

Who Does Everything That Pleases His Father! 

Jesus Was Abused, Denied, Rejected

And Yet

He Preached, Prayed, Taught

Healed And Fed The Multitudes

Giving No Heed To His Detractors

Because

He Knew What Was At Stake

What Trial

What Triumph 

Laid Ahead! 

No Cross ... No Crown! 

No Hope ... No Glory! 

No Prayer ... No Power! 

We Must Firmly Stand Upon The Truth

Found Only In The Good News Gospel Story! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Let's Not Let Sinful-Self 

Choose Neither Our Attitude Nor Our Altitude

But

Let Grace, Faith And Prayer 

Order Our Steps To Glory

If It Is Truly Our Heart's Desire 

To Dwell Forever With The Kind King 

Who Is Eternally In Residence There! 

Fear Almighty God ... Not The Great Unknown

For Almighty God ... Alone 

Is In Control 

And

To Him

The Unknown Is Known! 

Let Jesus Christ The King

Who Rules And Reigns

Judges And Justifies

Saves And Sanctifies

Heals And Helps

Teaches And Tests

And

Loves Us And Leads Us

Love Us And Lead Us

For He Is Our Only Peace 

And 

Our True Rest! 

Let Us Cease From Our Wanderings

Our Going Astray

And

Trust The Love That Cannot Fail

Who Gives Us Faith That Cannot Fail

Who Blesses Us With Grace That Is Really Real

And

Pours Mercy Upon Us

That Will Not Our Lives Derail! 

Follow Our Father! 

Be The Head And Not The Tail

And

Live Commendably To Rejoice 

And

Not Condemnably To Wail! 

Righteous Living Is Not A Jail! 

THOUGHT

FOR

THE WEEK AHEAD:

 

We Are Warned By Our Dear Savior That 

Anything Done In The Darkness 

Shall Surely Be Brought Into 

The Glaring Light Of Judgment! 

People Whose Deeds Are Evil

Who Despise Correction And Chastisement

Always Choose To Operate Under Cover Of Darkness 

To Avoid Detection! 

Beloved, 

Be Ye Warned And Thrilled ...

The All-Seeing, Ever-Present Eye Of The All-Knowing God 

Sees And Records Every Last Thing That We Do! 

We May Hide From Man 

But

Hiding From Man Achieves Nothing 

Because 

It Does Not Hide Or Erase Our Record

In The Courts Above! 

Think Carefully ...

If You Have To Hide To Do Anything

It Is Certain That 

You Already Know That What You're Doing 

Or Contemplating Doing Is Wrong

Will Not Pass The Sniff Test

And

Is Definitely Not Pleasing To Our Maker, God And King! 

Be Wise ...

If You Would Not Wish To Be Caught 

Doing Something Iffy Or Sniffy By Your Parents

Children, Husband, Wife, Friends Or Family

You Should Back Up Off Your Intended Action:

A Working Conscient Is An Asset!

Avoid Mistakes By Walking In The Light

And

Dare To Correct Your Errors While Life Is Spared! 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Anyone 

So Do Not Let The Last Act Of Your Life 

Be A Dark Deed Of The Damned! 

There Is No Repentance After Death 

So Do Not Stifle Your Conscience: 

Do Right!

 

HAPPY SABBATH + Almighty God's Mercy Showered Upon Us Is Free!

 

The Door Of Mercy

Is

Still Open! 

The Lord Is Light! 

I Am Human ... With Needs!

 

When Light Falls Upon Me

I Cast A Shadow 

Because 

I Absorbed The Light! 

My Shadow 

Is 

Either On The Ground Or Upon A Wall: 

Shadows Are Seen! 

When I Pray To Almighty God Who Is Light 

And

Mercy

An Inexplicable Thing Happens: 

My Prayers Of Supplication Become Mercy's Long Shadow! 

Prayer ... Praying ... Generated By Faith

Turns Me Into A Light Source That 

Impacts Mercy ... Via The Throne Of Grace 

Where I ... By Personal Invitation

Had Been Encouraged To Boldly Approach 

To Find Grace ... Unmerited Favor

To Help Me In The Times Of My Need! 

Just So You Know ... 

Faith Makes Us Humble 

And

Humility Makes Us Pray 

And

Prayer Causes Heaven To Work Opening Heaven's Storehouses 

To Bless Us With Our God's Infinite Blessings And Bounties! 

Beloved, 

Do Not Neglect To Pray: 

The Prayerful Are Powerful!

The Prayerless Are Powerless! 

We Have Been Given An Holy Power To Bless Ourselves 

By Blessing Our God Eternal With Our Requests 

For His Available And Able Assistance 

Through The Prayer Of Faith! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Faith Without Prayer Is Useless! 

Prayer Without Faith Is Useless! 

Since Prayer Is Light

Let's Light Up Our Own Lives 

And

Our World By Praying 

Which, In Turn, Will Cause Our God's Free-To-All Mercy 

To Cast Long Shadows Over Us All: 

Mercy Helps And Heals! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Free! 

Truth Is Free! 

Blessings Are Free! 

Faith Is Free! 

Hope Is Free! 

Healing Is Free! 

Heaven Is Free

And

Praying To The Father

In The Name Of Jesus Christ His Son

Under The Ministration Of The Holy Spirit

Is

Free! 

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Who Personally Watch Over You As You Pray 

Is 

Free! 

Dare To Pray Like Your Life Depends Upon It

Because

It Does! 

Truth Is Light! 

Light Is Life! 

Walk In The Light Of Life!!

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

Joyfully Embrace Mercy!

PRECIOUS: The Lord God Almighty Doesn't Save Junk!

As Christians ... True Christ-Followers

We Are To Be Circumspect Aka Thoughtful, Cautious

In All That We Say And Do 

Because 

We Have The Desire To Avoid Mistakes, Missteps

And

Their Consequences! 

Remember, Confession And Repentance Cleanse From Sin 

But 

It Never Relieves Us Of Sins' Consequences! 

Beloved, 

King Solomon Has Warned Us Of 

The Fool Being Hasty In Speech And Action

Well-Given To "Fetching Up His Guts!" 

And 

Being Uncaring Of The Consequences!

This Is Not The Way Of The Child Of God 

Who Is Taught Of God 

And

Who Is The Beneficiary Of The Gift Of Wisdom From God 

And

Is Able To Use Understanding

To Apply Real Knowledge For True Profit! 

The Lord Christ Redeemed Us

Aka Bought Us Back, From Sin

Death, The Grave And Hell 

And

We, Faithful Christians

Are To Redeem, Buy-Back ... Take-Back 

Our Finite, Short, Time From Lawlessness

Carelessness, Uselessness

Wickedness, Deceitfulness

Indifference, Foolishness 

And 

All Such Unprofitable Behaviors! 

Every One Of Us Is Unique, Special ... Irreplaceable! 

If You Are Lost To The Kingdom Of God

Jesus Christ Is Irretrievably Harmed 

Because 

There Is No One Who Can Or Will Replace You! 

He Gave His Life To Save Our Lives! 

Let's Dare, By Working Faith, To Live Up To The Value That 

The Lord Jesus Christ Has Placed On Each One Of Us! 

Remember ...

The Lord ... Our Lord ... Doesn't Save Junk! 

Our Lord Christ Who Is God Almighty 

Saves That Which Is Precious:

That's You ... And Me, Too! 

Value Your Value To The Lord!

Don't Grieve The Holy Spirit!

Are You Angry ... And Sinning!?! 

Are You Permitting The Sun To Go Down On Your Wrath!?! 

Are You Giving Shelter, Comfort And Aid To Satan!?!

 

Are You Starting To Grieve 

Aka Chase Away The Holy Spirit From Your Life 

By Your Behavior, Attitude 

And 

Your Stance In Life? 

Beloved, 

If You Are, May The Living God Have Mercy On You! 

The Facts ...

We Cannot Grieve, Cause Hurt, Sorrow, Or Anger 

In Someone Who Doesn't Love 

And 

Cherish Us In Their Heart! 

The Difference Between Grieving A Human Heart 

And 

Grieving God The Holy Spirit 

Is That

With The Loss Of The Holy Spirit

We Lose Perfect Peace, Rest

Truth, Light, Love 

And 

Eternal Life!

Is Holding On To Anger ... Remember Cain

Jealousy, Hatred

Pride ... Remember Lucifer

Greed ... Remember Judas

Covetousness, Selfishness, 

Bitterness

Lying To God ... Remember Ananias And Sapphira

Grudge, Unforgiveness

Malice

Vile Thoughts And Speech 

And

The Practice Of Witchcraft ... Remember King Saul 

HonestlyWorth The PriceWhich Must 

And 

Will Be Paid!?! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Grieving Away The Holy Spirit 

Is 

A Process ... A Downward Spiral 

To Eternal Separation From Almighty God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Petty To Turn Putrid:

All Rotten Things Get Binned And Burned!

 

Do Not Chase Holy Angels Out Of Your Home 

Or The Holy Spirit From Your Life 

When The Humble Prayer Of A Contrite Heart 

Can Turn Sorrow To Joy 

And

Hurt To Healing! 

Be Wise!

Your Personal Salvation Was Purchased At Infinite Cost

With The Blood Of The Innocent Lamb Of God

Jesus Christ The Lord

And

Not With Perishable Gold And Silver! 

Please Consider What The Shedding Of 

The Innocent Blood Of His Only Begotten Meant 

... Still Means ... 

To Our Heavenly Father 

And

Choose To Value Yourself Accordingly! 

The Lord Christ Did Not Make A Mistake 

When He WillinglyChose To Die

To Personally Save You ... And Me, Too! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

Perfectly Precious! 

Pride Is For Fools!

It Would Do Us All Well To Remember That 

Almighty God Rules In The Affairs Of Man! 

It Would Serve Us All Well To Ask Ourselves: 

"Is What I Am Contemplating Doing 

Pleasing To The Eternal God!?!" 

Before 

We Daringly Step Out On The Rotting Limb That 

Is 

The Carnal Life Of Man! 

Beloved, 

A Fool And His Money Are Easily Parted 

And So, Too

Is Man's Life And Peace 

When We Act As Though We Made Ourselves 

And 

Speak As Though Our Fiery Tongues Are Bibles 

And 

Our Foul Words Are Truth 

Which Must Be CoSigned By The Lord Of Life 

Who, When We Bark Our Desires At Him, Asks: 

"How High!?!" 

Wheel ... And Come Again! 

We Know Nothing! 

We Cannot Do Anything 

Without The Breath Of God In Our Nostrils 

And

It Is Certain That Our Penchant For Sinning 

Does Not Profit Us In Our Decision-Making! 

Please Be Wary Of Willing-Sinner Self 

And

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation 

And 

Stop Denying The Power Of 

And

The Power That 

Is 

Jesus Christ The Lord ... The King ... The Final Judge! 

We Need Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer 

And 

Forever Faithful Friend 

And

High Priest 

And

Advocate Aka Attorney! 

Let's Choose To Call Upon Jesus Christ

So That He Will Teach Us 

And

We, Willing, Will Learn 

Great And Mighty Things About Which 

We Know Not One Thing! 

Putrid Pride 

Is 

For Fools Who Don't Know God: 

Be Humble Aka Humble Yourself

And

The Great God ... In His Way

And

In His Holy Time

Will Assuredly Lift You Up! 

Peace Be Unto You!

The Unimpeachable Truth!

It Is Very Easy To Say: 

"Lord, Lord!" 

And 

Quote The Bible Chapter And Verse

And 

Point At People And Call Them Unclean Spirits 

And

Say That We Know The Living God Personally 

And

Are Blessed Of God 

Because 

We Have Earthly Prosperity! 

Problem Is That 

Many Of Us Who Name The Name 

And 

Have The Possessions 

And 

Point The Fingers 

Unwisely Forget That It Is Jesus Christ The Lord

The Creator Of Us All 

- Who Knows The Inner-Most Workings Of Our Deceitful Hearts - 

Who Is The Judge Of All Flesh 

And Is

The God Who Owns Everything On This Planet! 

We Are Mere Stewards 

And 

We Must Give A Full Accounting To Almighty God Of 

How, Why, When, Where, What 

And 

Upon Whom We Utilized The Resources 

He Entrusted To Us! 

Beloved, 

Talk Is Cheap And Hot Air Blows Dry Dust! 

We May Sing Hymn-A-Ton

Telling Of Our Goodness And Greatness 

But

The Heavenly Record Bears The Unimpeachable Truth! 

Let's Not Be Trifling And Arrogant 

And 

Judge People By Our Self-Made, Cost-Nothing, Yardstick! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

By The Fruit Of Our Doings ... Our Actions

We Are Known 

And

The Lord's Law Of Ten Commandments Condemns Us All! 

A Change Must Come ... 

Let's Elevate Our Standards 

And 

Judge Righteous Judgments 

And

Humbly Start With Our Own Selves!

If We Don't Tell The Truth About Our Own Selves

There Is No Way That

We Will Speak The Truth About Another Person!

Walk Softly Before The Eternal God! 

Perfect Peace

Is

A Present From The Lord Christ

Our High Priest!

REST: Under His Wings!

 

Think About It ... 

We Have Choices To Make 

And

Chances To Make Choices ... Good Or Bad! 

We, Each, Have The Choice To Look Around 

And 

Be Distressed By What Is Going Around Us 

Or To Look Inward 

And 

Be Completely Depressed About Our Soul's Estate 

Or To Look Up To Christ Jesus 

And

Cast Our Every Care

- Inward And Outward -

Upon Him Who Is The Great And Able Burden-Bearer

And 

Be Entirely At Rest 

Experiencing His Perfect Peace! 

You May Well Say ...

"That's Too Simple, Too Easy! 

It Can't, Won't, Shouldn't Work!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Because It Is Too Easy 

And 

Shouldn't Work That 

It Does Work! 

He Who Prescribes This Method 

Is 

The Very One Who Makes It Possible To Work 

By Giving Unto Us Faith To Trust Him 

To Work Things Out ... For Our Best Good! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

When You Give Your Burden To The Lord Christ

Let It Go Completely 

And

Leave It In His Holy Hands! 

The Lord Desires Our Bold

Willing

Unerring Trust In Him! 

Please Dare To Trust The Lord To Take Care Of You 

Because 

It Is He, Alone, Who Makes All Wrong Things Right

Turns Darkness To Light 

And

Makes Beauty Out Of Ashes! 

Only The Creator God Can Make The Impossible Happen! 

Make Your Peace With The God Holy

Lean On The Everlasting Arms

And

Shelter In Our Abiding Place 

Under His Wings!
