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!
