TIME ON EARTH IS NOTHING TO PLAY AROUND WITH, NOR TO WASTE...

 

As I walk this land of broken dreams, I have visions of many things, one of which is, we are ALL victims of oppression, thanks to the slithering oppressor, and our ONLY HOPE for Deliverance IS THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY---

We are NOT battling flesh and blood in this realm (EPHESIANS 6: 12), DESPITE the fact that we tend to war with one another, because we imagine that will help; as if! The evil of the darkness also, HAS us at each other's throats, because DISTRACTIONS ARE SO EFFECTIVE on the human psyche, KEEPING us from noticing THE LORD, or TURNING TO HIM! It is all a very clever ruse to ensure that we rely on the self instead of on THE LORD *GOD*, just as enticement, and other distractions work against us, and see us farther, and farther from TRUTH, and SAFETY!!!

IN HIS LOVE for us, and IN HIS MIGHT, THE LORD *GOD* HAS EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR us to exist in PEACE, HARMONY, HAPPINESS, and absolute BLESSEDNESS, BUT we CHOOSE to IGNORE FACTS, as we CHOOSE to depend upon our WORLDLY INSTINCTS, and responses, HENCE, the root of our woes, and troubles!!!

A two-minded person's PRAYERS might not be answered, or effective, as their invocation is not pure, or sincere, UNLESS they are approaching HIM IN REPENTANCE, and adherence of HIS WILL, and WAYS! People DON'T LIKE DISCIPLINE, NOR INSTRUCTION of the kind which alters their worldly thoughts, and ways, YET, they believe that THE LORD will rescue them at any time, regardless of their otherwise avoiding HIM when things are usual, or better! LIP SERVICE IS NAUGHT in the eyes of THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, still it IS the way of the world, and that which IS taught as a result of tainted perception, and complacency! THE LORD *GOD* HAS SHOWN US THE WAY, and HAS TOLD us OF THE CHOICE BETWEEN BLESSINGS, and CURSES, BUT more than most DISCOUNT, or NEGLECT such weighty knowledge, as it would mean giving up certain chosen errs, HOWEVER, these same people WILL CRY out to HIM when they are suffering, or at their wits end, MAKING promises they NEVER intend to honour!!!

Humanity DOES ALL that THE LORD *GOD* DETESTS, EVEN some, or many of those whom know better, OR have uttered vows unto HIM! RAMPANT IS hypocrisy, hatred, animosity, violence, gossip, slander, libel, shunning, spurning, rejection, intolerance, wrongness, injustice, oppression, greed, lust, gluttony, pride, wrath, sloth, envy, AS WELL AS EVERY NEGATIVE mentality, action, and reaction which defies THE LORD, HIS LOVE, and HIS WILL! WE, the humans of this Earth HAVE CREATED THE CHAOS we exist in, STILL WE WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE OUR WRONGS, or BAD CHOICES, and instead, blame THE LORD, and each other!!!

WE PARTAKE in ALL sorts of things we KNOW ARE CONTRARY TO WHAT IS GOOD, RIGHT, and JUST, BUT, we WON'T CONSIDER THE TRUTH, OR CHANGE our ways, DUE TO the LOVE of the world OVER THE LOVE OF THE LORD, and all the WONDERS HE OFFERS! WE NEED TO LEARN the ABSOLUTE CONTRAST between what is OF HIM, and what is not, and the effects, NOW AND FOREVER, this bears on us!!!

As it states in the topmost quote, MERCY is NOT a means to greater, or continued sin! Listen, WHEN you TURN TO CHRIST JESUS as your LORD *GOD*, and SAVIOUR, your PAST sins are forgiven, AS WELL AS those innocent ones that pop up in the course of time, HOWEVER, there is NO PERMISSION to CLING TO your favourite, or chosen passions, desires, and whatever proves you yet of the world! We ARE to LEAVE the world behind, and TAKE ON CHRIST JESUS, THE CROSS, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, as we ALLOW HIM TO TRANSFORM us in THE HOLY SPIRIT, FOR SPIRITUAL, and HOLY USE, ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, and PLAN! TOO many believe, wrongly, that they may continue in their chosen errs, and expect HIM to do it all, NOT realizing, or acknowledging that they ARE CO-PARTNERS TO THE COVENANT, AND CITIZENS OF HEAVEN, AND A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD TO SERVE THE LORD *GOD*, along with others, FOR HIS GLORY, AND for the sake of lost souls...

GESTURES such as attending Church, and lip-service, and other such, are NOT evidence of a TRUE Christian, or heart! CONDUCT IN CONFORMITY TO HIS WILL, and WAYS IS, EVEN IF we misstep, and trip! CONSCIOUSLY we AIM to PLEASE HIM, NOT the body, nor the world, as we CONSCIENTIOUSLY STRIVE to ever overcome errs, and inclinations which lead to sin!!!

PSALM 50: 14-21...
14+++“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving

And pay your vows to the Most High;

15+++Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

16+++But to the wicked God says,

“What right have you to tell of My statutes

And to take My covenant in your mouth?

17+++“For you hate discipline,

And you cast My words behind you.

18+++“When you see a thief, you are pleased with him,

And you associate with adulterers.

19+++“You let your mouth loose in evil

And your tongue frames deceit.

20+++“You sit and speak against your brother;

You slander your own mother’s son.

21+++“These things you have done and I kept silence;

You thought that I was just like you; 
I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes. 

To obey is better than sacrifice, and to love God and our neighbor better than all burnt-offerings. We are here warned not to rest in these performances. And let us beware of resting in any form. God demands the heart, and how can human inventions please him, when repentance, faith, and holiness are neglected? In the day of distress we must apply to the Lord by fervent prayer. Our troubles, though we see them coming from God's hand, must drive us to him, not drive us from him. We must acknowledge him in all our ways, depend upon his wisdom, power, and goodness, and refer ourselves wholly to him, and so give him glory. Thus must we keep up communion with God; meeting him with prayers under trials, and with praises in deliverances. A believing supplicant shall not only be graciously answered as to his petition, and so have cause for praising God, but shall also have grace to praise him. 

Hypocrisy is wickedness, which God will judge. And it is too common, for those who declare the Lord's statutes to others, to live in disobedience to them themselves. This delusion arises from the abuse of God's long-suffering, and a wilful mistake of his character and the intention of his gospel. The sins of sinners will be fully proved on them in the judgment of the great day. The day is coming when God will set their sins in order, sins of childhood and youth, of riper age and old age, to their everlasting shame and terror. Let those hitherto forgetful of God, given up to wickedness, or in any way negligent of salvation, consider their urgent danger. The patience of the Lord is very great. It is the more wonderful, because sinners make such ill use of it; but if they turn not, they shall be made to see their error when it is too late. Those that forget God, forget themselves; and it will never be right with them till they consider. Man's chief end is to glorify God: whoso offers praise, glorifies him, and his spiritual sacrifices shall be accepted. We must praise God, sacrifice praise, put it into the hands of the Priest, our Lord Jesus, who is also the altar: we must be fervent in spirit, praising the Lord. Let us thankfully accept God's mercy, and endeavour to glorify him in word and deed.

Ah yes, YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD, O MAN, WHAT IS GOOD (MICAH 6: 8)! There is NO excuse for those who KNOW THE TRUTH, but act as if it doesn't apply to them, or ignore it! THE ONLY WAY TO LIFE IS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, and this MEANS we ADAPT TO HIM, and HIS WILL, and HIS EXAMPLE, for NOTHING in this realm is about us, it IS ALL FOR HIS GLORY, AND FOR THE ABSOLUTE ERADICATION OF EVIL, WICKEDNESS, and ALL which OPPOSES HIM, LOVE, and LIFE ETERNAL! PRAISE HIM, and GIVE THANKS THAT HE LOVES us ENOUGH TO OFFER A SOLUTION TO THE ADVERSE OPPRESSION, and HONOUR HIM BY DOING, and BEING HIS REFLECTION!!!
