Medicine After Death!?!

 


It Is Normal To Receive Medicine When One Is Ill 
But 
Who Has Ever Heard Of Taking Medicine After Death!? 


When You Know Right
Do Right!

Beloved, 

We Have A Very Nasty Habit Of 
Afterward 
Wanting To Meticulously Do The Thing 
Which We Should Have Done 
Before 
We Were Punished For Negligence, Disobedience
And 
Presumption! 

When Will We Learn!?! 

Negligence Contains Malice! 
Disobedience Contains Willfulness 
And
Presumption Contains Pride! 

So Much For Being Innocent! 

The Lord Our God Plainly Says: 


"To Obey
Is
Better Than Sacrifice!" 


Isn't It Better To Lay Out Our Pride At The Feet Of Jesus 
In A Bold Act Of Humility 
Than To Have It Knocked Out Of Us 
As Punishment For Gross Vanity!?! 

There's The Old Expression About Taking The Horse To Water 
But 
Being Unable To Make Him Take A Drink! 

The Remainder Of That Expression States: 

But You Can Put Salt In His Mash
Aka His Food! 

Salt Makes One Thirsty 
And 
That Horse Will Run To The Water To Quench His Thirst 
Without Asking Himself WHY He Is Now Soooo Thirsty! 

We Are Not Horses! 

Think! 

Acting In Haste Results In Repentance At Leisure 
So Stop Wasting Resources On What You Can't Afford! 

Disobedience Costs
Obedience Pays
And 
Repentance Is The Longest Day Of Our Lives! 

Let Us Do All That The Lord Asks As 
And
When Required 
And 
We Will Not Be Put On The Prepared-For-Satan Funeral Pyre! 

Choose To Be Satan's F.O.E: 
Utilize Faith
                       Obedience, And 
                                   Endurance In Your Warfare! 

Use 
Faith In Almighty God
Obedience To His Will, And 
Endurance On The Walk To The Father's House Of Love! 

You Will Arrive Home Safely! 

Peace!

One Disorder, Three Lives, Three Outcomes!









If I Knock On Your Forehead
Will You Cheerfully Answer The Front Door!?! 

If The Answer Is Not An Emphatic "Yes!" 
What, May I Ask, Is Eating You!?! 

The Frontal Lobe Of The Brain Deals With 
Our Spirituality Aka Our Need To Worship
Our Morality Aka Our Chosen Behavior
And 
Our Will Aka To Do Or Not To Do Right, Wrong, Dicey Or Disgusting! 

The Holy Word Says That 
In The Presence Of Two Or Three Witnesses
A Matter Should Be Established: 
King Saul, King Solomon, And Prophet Elijah Were All Depressed
Suffering From Stinking Thinking! 

Instead Of Being Obedient And Walking With The Spirit Of Truth
King Saul Went Rogue 
And 
Ended Up Playing Footsie With That Lying Spirit, Satan
And 
Effectively, Efficiently, Offed Himself! 

King Solomon Disobediently Went After Many Pagan Wives And Concubines 
And 
Also Did What Many Of Us Are Doing Today 
Aka He Tried Every "Pleasure" Until Pleasure Was Pain! 

He Hated His Life 
And
Called Everything Vanity And Vexation Of Spirit! 

King Solomon Eventually Came To His Senses 
And 
Was Converted 
But 
Took The Scars With Him To His Grave! 

Elijah ... Almighty God's Faithful Prophet
Was Hunted Down Like A Wild Dog 
By The Blood-Thirsty Pagan Queen Jezebel: 
He Ran From Her 
And 
He Wanted To Die! 

The Lord Gave Prophet Elijah  A Work To Do 
And
At Its Completion 
He Was Picked Up In A Fiery Chariot 
And 
Carried To Heaven: 
He Never Tasted Death! 

One Disorder
         Three Lives
                Three Outcomes! 

Dear Ones,

Depressed Or Not
We Have Our Sacrosanct Will With Which To Bless God: 
Please Let Him Take Control Aka Have Master-Control
And 
You Shall Know, Enjoy, Experience His Perfect Peace!

SELFLESSNESS: I-Statements From The Lord Jesus Christ!









There Is A Stark Difference Between 
The I-Statements Uttered Here By Our God Almighty 
And 
Those Uttered By Lucifer 
Prior To His Being Expelled, For Cause, From Heaven's Portals! 

Beloved, 

Our Dear Jesus Has Here Uttered Five I-Statements 
Which All Pertain To His Blessings Given For Our Benefit! 

All Of Lucifer's I-Statements Were To Himself
Benefiting Himself 
And 
For The Destruction Of The Almighty! 

Lucifer Took Then
And 
Now As Satan, The Adversary, Still Takes 
But
No Surprise
It Has Not Accrued To His Benefit! 

It Pays To Know Your Maker 
And
Profits To Live By His Will 
And 
According To His Ways! 

Our Dear Savior Gave
Is Giving
And 
Will Continue Giving To Us For All Eternity! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is A Magnificent Lesson To Be Learnt
If 
We Are Willing To Learn It:
 
Love, Goodness
Kindness, Giving
Selflessness
And 
Practicing Peace Over Passion And Pride 
Will Always Be Their Own Reward! 


As We Daily Choose To Blissfully Live 
By Grace Through Faith
In The Blessed Light Of The Truth 
Which Leads To Everlasting Life 
We Will Be Changing Into The Likeness Of Him 
Who Is The King Of Love!  


Love Gives! 


We Are Headed Home Where Satan Cannot Trespass: 
Don't Let Him Derail Your Journey To Joy! 

Let Us Wisely Follow Our Lord's Commands 
To Not Be Fearful Or Be Dismayed
And 
Gratefully Claim His Promises Given! 

Doubting Decimates: 
The Obedience Of Faith Frees! 

The Lord Is The Strength Of Our Lives: 
Trust Him And Believe! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Little Bits Matter In The Service Of The Lord!



The Feeding Of The Five Thousand Men 
Plus The Women And The Children 
Is Not 
Just About The Lord Jesus Performing A Great Miracle 
And 
Making Empty Bellies Warm And Filled! 

This Signal Miracle Of The Lord 
Speaks To Something Much Deeper 
Aka Giving The Lord The Best As In All That We Have 
And
Allowing Him To Make Our Best Better 
Even Unto The Best That It Can Ever Be 
And
Providing For Many And More 
And
Leaving Something More Beside ... Which Will Not Be Wasted! 

The Story Of The Widow's Mite Amplifies This Miracle 
Showing That The Willing Giving Of Our Little Bits 
In Service Of The Living God We Love 
Is 
Worth Even More Than What Is Given Out Of Our Abundance 
Via Pride 
And
For Public Display! 

Beloved, 

A Poor And Kind-Hearted Person 
Missing A Left Arm And A Right Leg 
And
Doing Willing Service 
Is 
Worth More To The Lord Than The Service Of A Rich
Able-Bodied, Self-Centered, Unwilling Person 
Who Suffers From WIIFM Aka What's In It For Me! 

Let Us ... Today
Look At The Stories Of Jesus Christ With New Eyes 
And 
With Hearts Activated By His Love 
And
For His Service! 

Let Us Choose To Be Used Of Him 
Who Is Able To Turn Our Lives
- Our Coals Of Sin - 
Into Diamonds Of The First Water 
Aka Priceless Jewels For The Kind King's Crown! 

All Things Are Possible With Almighty God: 
Let Us Be Pleased To Cooperate With Christ Always
In All Ways! 

Peace!


With Jesus Christ
Earthly Loss Is Heavenly Gain
And
Little Is Much
Because
The Lord Our God Is In It!

HAPPY SABBATH + There Are Consequences To Conduct!







Every Human Has A Path To Travel: 
Blessed Is The Man Who Does Not Walk According To The Counsels
The Directions
The Ways Of The Ungodly! 

Beloved, 

With Free-Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose As Our Walking Stick
We Each Have The Ability 
To Either Walk On Strait Street And Narrow Way 
Or 
On Broad Street And Own Way! 

Decisions, Decisions! 
Man ... By Himself
Is
In The Valley Of Decision! 

Will You Follow The Savior 
Carrying Your Own Cross All The Way To Calvary 
Or 
Will You Choose Achan's I Want It 
Samson's It Pleases My Eye
King Saul's The People Made Me Do It
Ananias And Sapphira's Nobody Will Know
Or 
Judas Iscariot's I Can Manipulate God 
Or I'll Sell The Savior For Silver!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Who Helps You To Buy A Big-Belly Horse 
Won't Help You To Feed It! 

You Can Hide And Buy Land
But 
You Can't Hide And Reap It! 

Wha' Sweeten Goat Mout' Does Bu'n 'e En 'e Tail! 

Bottom Line ... 

There Are Consequences To Conduct!

In The Day Of Trial
Only Those Who Have Chosen The Way To Calvary
The Life In And Of Christ
Shall Receive The "Well Done!" 
And 
The Crown Of Life! 

Please Choose To Learn From The Mistakes Of Others 
So That You Don't Suffer Their Same End! 

Choose To Endure Your Tribulations Now 
And 
You Will Enjoy Your Celebrations Later
In The Presence Of King Jesus
Him For Whom We Are Now Waiting! 

Dare To Make Jesus Christ First And Last
And 
Have Heaven In Your Life Now: 
Walk In The Light! 

Peace!

REGRET: The One-Way Trip In The Entrance-Only Conveyance!



Am I Become Your Enemy For Telling You The Truth
For Asking You To Rid Yourself Of Habits 
Which Will Rob You Of The Gift Of Eternal Youth!?! 

Beloved, 

This Question Should Hit Us All Hard 
As We Sojourn On This Earth! 

Are We Treating God's Gifts As Games Of Trivial Pursuit 
And 
The Rush To Our Pleasures As Special Treasures!?! 

The Lord Jesus Christ
For His Lived Life And His Loving Words Of Truth
Was Executed At The Request Of His Own People 
Because 
His Holy Way Accused Them Of Their Evil Ways! 

The Apostle Paul Ultimately Suffered The Same Fate 
For Telling The Truth That Saves! 

John The Baptist ... Jesus Christ's Fore-Runner
Died For Speaking Truth To Power! 

Let's Get Real Here! 

As Committed Christians Walking In The Light That 
Leads To Eternal Life
We Must Live Lives Above Reproach
And We
If We Love Our Brethren By Blood, By Faith
Or By Warmest Affection
Must Speak Up When We See Them Going In The Wrong Direction! 

Regret 
Is 
An Ugly Place To Visit 
Especially When You Have To See The Cold Form Of 
A Lost Loved One 
Making The One-Way Trip 
To Dusty Bed At Long-Home 
In The Entrance-Only Conveyance! 

Sin Is For A Season! 

The New Life In Christ Lasts For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity! 

Please Snatch Someone Out Of The Fire: 
The Lord Will Bless You In The City Of Everlasting Day! 

Do Right ... No Matter The Earthly Cost! 

Heaven At Any Cost Is Dirt Cheap: 
Bless Someone With The Knowledge Which Will Help Them
By Almighty God's Amazing Grace
To Safely Arrive There!

Peace!

Master, Please Take Control!

 


Why Would You Ask The Lord To Take Control Of Your Life 
And 
Then Bitterly Complain 
When Your Ceiling Is Your Floor And Your Floor Is Your Ceiling
And 
Your Picture Window Is Your Backyard Door 
And 
All That Was Soooo Easy 
Is 
Suddenly Become A Bore And A Chore!?! 

A Cooperative Act Of Love 
Between A Husband And His Wife Produces
- By Almighty God's Great Grace -
A Very Much Wanted And Dearly Loved Beautiful Baby! 

A Cooperative Act Of Love 
Between The Savior Granting Forgiveness And Salvation 
And 
The Sinner Needing The Cleansing 
And 
The Promised New Life 
Produces A Saint Of God And Jesus Christ! 

Two-Party Cooperation 
Plus 
Necessary Patient Work 
Equals 
Serviceable Product Of Choice And Design! 

Planting Good Seed On Unploughed Aka Unworked Soil 
Never Yields The Bountiful Harvest! 

With This In Mind, Beloved
Consider Yourself Blessed, Bought, And Benefited 
When Your Life Is In Flux
When No Two Days Are The Same
When You Finally Recognize That Your Heart's Request 
Placed You Squarely Under The Control Of 
The Master Who Has Everything 
In His Loving, Can't-Fail, Strong Hand! 

He Who Has Begun A Good Work In You 
Will Perform It Until The Day Of Jesus Christ! 

With Patient, Enduring, Unreproachable Faith
Enjoy Your Journey To Joy! 

Pray, Plead, And Plod On 
As You Hold On To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand! 

Peace!

Repentance Aka The U-Turn Of Life!



Repentance ... Just Like A U-Turn
Is 
Progressive! 
It Is A Change Of Mind 
Caused By A Change Of The Heart 
Which Leads To A Change Of Action Aka Direction! 

Beloved, 

There Was Once A Time When We Would Say That 
A Repentant Sinner Did A 360° Turn! 
This Was Until Wisdom Prevailed 
And 
Understanding Dawned 
And 
Knowledge Spoke Up And Noted That 
A 360° Turn Is A Circle 
Which Meant Doing As One Always Did 
But That 
A 180° Turn Resulted In A Complete Change Of Direction! 

Hallelujah, Wisdom! 

Thank You, Lord, For The Cautionary Tale Which Says: 

In All Your Getting
 Get Understanding! 

We Are Grateful, Lord
For The Knowledge Which Increases! 

Dear Ones, 

Turning Around ... Changing Direction
Without Having Your Chosen Life-Style Turned Upside-Down 
Changes Absolutely Nothing! 

Genuine Repentance Aka Repentance Of The Godly Sort
Means That Friends, Associates, Relationships
Tastes, Likes, Dislikes
And 
Our Reservation For Our Final Port Of Call 
Must Change! 

We Can No Longer Call Upon Christ 
And 
Do Like The Devil! 

Calling Upon Christ For Saving Truth 
And
Deliberately Acting Upon It 
Changes Our Life
Our Life-Style
And 
Our Character! 

Jesus Christ The Lord
Is 
The Truth 
And 
Living By And In The Truth 
Means Living For Our King Jesus! 

Let's Think About It! 
Let's Earnestly Pray About It
And
Let's Wisely Act Upon It 
Because 
Our Personal Future Depends Upon It! 

Peace!



Living For Jesus Christ Now
Is
Living A Life
That
Has Only Just Begun!

Created Beings Can't Game God Almighty!



A Favored Pastime In This World Today 
Is 
To Play The Victim 
And 
Throw Down The Paint On The Paper Thick And Hard! 
Throw A Hissy Fit! 
Roll Around In A White Outfit On The Dirty Floor! 
Cuss Out Everybody In Hearing Distance! 
Call Yuh Mudda A Man 
And Then 
Get Up Clear-Eyed And Calm 
And 
Wonder If You Need A Sun-Tan! 

Man's Got Skills! 

Beloved, 

If You've Cracked Open The Living Word Of God
You Would Know That That Boat Don't Float 
In The Kingdom Of God! 

Blaming Others 
For You Doing You
For "Forcing" You To Do Wrong When You Know To Do Right
For Your Getting Caught With Your Hand Inside The Cookie Jar
And 
Running A Corrupt Game Of Straight Face 
Is 
All On You! 

Adam, Eve, Cain, Achan, And Saul 
All Tried That ... And Failed

And 

We Will Likewise Fail 
If 
We Believe That We Are Able To Game Almighty God! 

Think, Dear Ones! 

Can You Really Fool The Eternal God 
Who Is All-Seeing
All-Knowing
And
Ever-Present 
And
Feels All That We Feel!?! 

Wheel, And Come Again! 

The Lord Plainly, Unambiguously, Says To Us: 

Your Ways Are Not My Ways
Neither Are Your Thoughts My Thoughts! 

Punishment For Our Corrupt Behavior May Be Delayed 
But 
Rest Assured It Will Arrive 
At The Time Appointed By The God Of Heaven
Who Has Earth As His Foot-Stool! 

Please Don't Play Satan's Games 
When The Lord God Almighty Wrote The Rule Book For Man 
Which Is Avidly Used By All 
Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Will Never Realize The Value Of 
The Anchor Of Your Soul 
Until You Experience The Wrath Of The Storm! 

Be Wise: 
Load Your Soul's Anchor 
Aka Put On Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Believe The Word Of The Infallible God!




Faith! Feelings! Facts! Failings! Future! 
Hmmm... 

The Lord Jesus Gives To Each Of Us A Daily Gift Of His Faith 
For That Day Alone 
But
Our Feelings Bring Up The Facts 
About Our Known Failings 
And
They Are Grounding Our Hopes Of 
A Future In The Father's House 
As Promised To Us By Our Savior Dear! 

Are You Going To Believe The Word Of God
The Truth That Saves
Or Are You Going To Trust Fraught Feelings 
Known Fickle Aka Flighty!?! 

Beloved

We Have The Infallible Aka Trust-Worthy Word Of 
The Living God Who Never Changes! 

Our God Is Not A Time-Bound Philosopher
A Paper Tiger
A Plaster Saint
Nor A Lying Man Who Changes His Mind 
As Often As He Changes His Garments 
And 
Direction Of Travel! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Set Our Temporal Clocks 
By The Sun Of Righteousness, The Eternal God
In Whom Is No Variableness Or Shadow Of Turning! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
And 
Our Savior Says: 


"Come Unto Me! 
Come And Dine! 
Make Your Home With Me! 
Trust Me And Obey! 
Take My Blessing 
Because
I Have Taken Away Your Blight
Your Sin! 

Your New Life Is In Me! 

You Confessed And Repented Of Your Sin 
And
Because I Am Faithful And Just
I Forgive You! 

Rest In Me And Be Refreshed! 

Hold My Hand! 
By Enduring Faith, Not Fickle Feelings
Be Anchored In Me! 

I Give You Joy!" 

Beloved, 

A Working Faith Can Never Fail 
So I Choose To Accept The Lord's Unspeakable Gift! 

Do You!?! 
Will You!?! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Safe In The Arms Of Jesus!



What Is The Point Of 
Having Big Money And A Bad Mind
Having Reach And No Grasp
Having A Hold But No Help
Having Your Best Life Now 
And 
No Liberty In The Lord Jesus!?! 

What Does It Profit Us To Gain The Whole World 
And 
Lose Our Own Souls!?! 

Will You Lose Your Battle Against Sin 
For Lack Of A Nail In A Sure Place: 
Upon What Foundation Are You Building Your House!?! 

Beloved, 

The Truth Is That Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Truth! 

Accepting 
And 
Operating On And In The Truth 
Saves Our Souls From Sin! 

Rejecting Sin Puts Us Squarely In Satan's Cross-Hairs 
And
Safely In The Arms Of Jesus Christ The King Who 
Is 
Lord, Life, Love, Light
And 
Liberty! 

A Question Must Be Asked: 
In Whom Is Your Trust Placed!?! 

The Answer Must Be Given: 
I Trust In Almighty God Through Jesus Christ! 

A Walk Must Be Started! 
The Life Will Be Changed! 
Desires Will Be Reorganized And Refined! 
Hope Will Point To Glory! 
Faith Will Lead The Way
And
Victory Will Open The Door 
Because 
Endurance Caused You To Pray ... 

"Jesus, Thou Son Of David
Please Have Mercy On Me!"

 

Salvation Saves The Day 
And 
Paves The Way ... Home! 

Do Not Lean On Your Own Understanding: 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 
Always The Answer To All Our Questionings! 

No Jesus, No Peace! 
Know Jesus And Know Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Hold Hope In Christ Or Handle Hell With Satan!







A Humble, Praying, Saint 
Makes Proud Satan's Knees Weak! 

Beloved, 

We Must Go Through Present Peril 
To Get To Everlasting Peace! 

We Must Overcome Sinning 
To Arrive At Sanctification! 

We Must Overcome Ungodly Fear 
To Enjoy Freedom In Christ! 

We Must, By Grace, Conquer Our Heart 
If We Will Rule Our Head! 

We Must Hold Hope In Christ 
Or We Will Handle Hell With Satan! 

We Must Deny Ungodly Passion 
Or Die In Satanic Pride! 

We Cannot Seek The Savior 
And 
Also Serve Self! 

When We Mind The Master 
We Will Master Our Mind! 

When We Trust The Lord Aka The Truth 
We Will Be Truthful In Our Trusting! 

We Are Blessed With Daily Faith 
And 
Our Faithfulness Blesses Us Daily! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Blessed Savior Has Done The Hard Work For Us 
And
By Enduring Faith Which Works By Love
We Will Reap The "Sweets" Of Sure Salvation!
We Must Do Our Part
And
Trust And Obey! 

Please Remember, However, That 
Almighty God's Saving Grace 
Does Not Cover 
Unrepentant Man's Unconfessed Greed 
And 
Presumptuousness! 

Do Not Tempt The Lord! 

There Is No Balancing Act 
Or Fence Riding 
In Christ's Christianity: 
It's All In Or All Out! 

Earthly Riches Are Not A Safety Net: 
Jesus Christ Is! 
Therefore, Let Your Motto Be: 
It Is Best To Wear Out In The Service Of The Savior 
Than To Burn Up Through Being Served By Satan! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 
We Are Overcomers In Christ Jesus ... Alone! 

Peace!

Hell's Kitchen



On The Dark Side Of Life
There Is A Master-Servant Relationship! 

The Sadist Aka The Master 
Loves To Cause Humiliation 
And
Inflict Pain On The Masochist Aka The Servant 
And Thereby 
Finds Pleasure! 

We'll Call This Sadist 
Satan ... The Seller Of Sin And Its "Pleasures!" 

The Servant Aka The Sinner
Having Been Conditioned To Find Pleasure In Degradation
Seeks Out The Master To Get A Fix To Feel Alive
And 
To Hear That They're Loved
Even Though They Know That It's A Lie! 

Beloved, 

Living For Self 
Allows Satan To Turn Us Into Masochists 
Whom He Controls With Things Known Hurtful 
To Get Thrills Known Painful 
Which Lead To Destinations Known Deadly! 

We Can Do Better Than This 
And So 
I Present To You Jesus Christ The King
The True Master
Who Is The Real Lover Of Your Soul 
Who Took Into Himself The Humiliation
Degradation
And 
Death That Is Really Your Own 
So That You Don't Have To Eat At Hell's Kitchen 
Where The Chef De Cuisine 
Is 
That Same Satan
The Father Of Lies
The Murderer
And 
The Dealer Of Damnation To All Who Refuse 
Daily Faith
Sure Salvation
Free Mercy
And 
Sufficient Grace 
Which Are Gifted To All Who Sacrifice Self 
On The Altar Of Life In Christ 
Where Pardon For Sin 
And 
Peace That Endureth 
Are Guaranteed By The Holy God! 

Cleansing Is In The Blood Of The True Master 
Who Is Also Master Of The Winds Of Strife 
And 
The Waves Of Despair: 
He Knows Your Name And Nature 
And
Desires To Bless You 
No Matter How Low You've Fallen! 
Dare To Trust Him!

Change Sides: 
Choose Salvation! 
Salvation Satisfies The Sin-Sick Soul!

Desire Deliverance 
And 
Ditch Death! 
Jesus Christ, The Life Of Every Man, Saves! 

Peace!
