Personally I would rather die
with my hands upon the wheel
of the ship where God has placed me
than some pleasure here to steal.
Let old bones embrace me
while his course I hold so tight.
May his Holy will entice me
As I work with all my might.
Let others put away the things
that brought them now delight.
For I would rather perish
In a storm of Holy Light.
By His Grace

Listen to who you will. Adhere to what pleases your heart. Chase after all the winds that graze your cheek. There is but one “way”. It has been carved out of this world with the Holy hands of Jesus. He has spoken the manner of approach to the Father’s Holy Throne.
Holy Father, you do not lie. And your Holy Son has sealed your promise, to forgive sins, with His Holy blood. We confess, we have stood in doubt.
I will speak for myself for a moment, Lord. May the same fruit be found in those who read these words. But no command can produce the holy fruit You seek.
I ask You to set me apart from this wicked world. Set me on a hill, that all I am might belong to You. May the hill You choose be tall and remote, lest my ears hear their wicked celebration of unholy acts. May my eyes not witness their glorification of fleshly lust from that place You choose. May my nose not catch drift of the putrid perfumes they use to entice. Yet, may my heart ache for them to join me there.
You are God! May Your Holy and Majestic will be done forever! By the everlasting precious blood of Your Holy Son Jesus, I submit these words. Amen.
God urges us from heaven. He delivered His Holy words to us through His chosen messengers. Then He delivered His chosen “WORD” wrapped in flesh. These words urge us to accept the terms of peace from Him.
Men in hell desire to urge their loved ones to accept those terms from God. Men in heaven desire the same of all men. And we who serve Him among you here urge you to consider God’s terms for peace with Him.
Forget world peace. There never will be any among the godless men who rule this world. Greed inhabits even the fingers of the poor. Where is the possibility of peace in a world filled with greedy souls?
But there is a peace offered between heaven and any man who will accept the terms. What are the terms? God has written them down for every man to read. And every term has to do with His Holy Son Jesus.
Read them for yourself in the Bible. Perhaps you can’t read. Then use the friend who is reading this to you now.
You are being urged to avoid a certain and eternal punishment. It’s real. And so are the terms of peace.
I know how unpopular this message is today. And so do you. That should set off alarms within you. Do you really think God allowed us to murder His Son only to let us have our own filthy way forever? The price to pay for rebellion against God comes closer with every passing second. Haven’t we wasted enough of them already?
By His Grace.
They led Him in, and He did not resist. They beat Him without mercy, but He did not plead for mercy. They accused. But He did not defend or accuse in return.
They led Him out to finish their murder. He went willingly, until His legs could not find strength. They pounded nails, He did not resist them. They raised up their murderous machine and let it drop violently into the hole. He did not complain.
He endured. He prayed for them. Then He uttered words that will echo throughout heaven and earth forever, “IT IS FINISHED”! Jesus had BECOME!
They thought they were so smart to devise such a deterant to crime. They thought well of their league to dish out such violence that none would oppose them. They think so very highly of themselves for what they can accomplish.
Oh foolish, proud, man! Don’t you see that you had become the ladder He had to climb to become the High Priest forever between His Father and you? No, you likely don’t. All eyes will see this magnificent Son of God! All eyes.
Lord please let these words penetrate to the inner heart. Let them consider Your Lordship. Let them understand that even their wickedness is being used to groom Your people. Man is, at best, nothing but a servant.
You are Holy forever!
By His Grace.
By the way people keep away from God you would think He is a horribly violent individual. I am not making fun of the unsaved or ungodly folk. I am just pointing out a rather curious “confusion”.
Jesus is the exact representation of His Father in Heaven. So if we look at Jesus’ character and actions we can determine if God is violent by nature.
Read the Gospels (matthew, mark, luke and john). Besides the event in the temple where Jesus made a whip and drove out the greedy, where do you find violence in Him? (Take note that the people were displaying a misunderstanding of God’s reason for building a temple). The answer will have to be “nowhere”. Why, then, are folks so terrified at the Bible, Christians who love to share the knowledge of salvation, godly living, a consistent prayer habit, and going to church?
The answer is not found in God. The answer is to be found in the people’s love of every form of pleasure and wickedness. Yep! That’s right folks! You find yourself shying away from God because the idea of making friends with Holiness is a sincere offence to you. By our very nature we are far too proud to humble ourselves before Him and ask for help.
Yet help is exactly what Jesus is offering. He promises to work with you to transform you from a God hater to a God lover. I know you don’t think much of that God lover stuff yet. But you’ll see, in time, why Christians aren’t afraid to be hated by the world. And in the place of hopeless futile little pleasures and foolish pride appears a magnificent joy.
Who would know better what is right, good, lasting and perfect behavior, God (who has been forever and will never cease to live) or man? He is watching you read this. Do you care? Tell Him so. Listen to Him. He has promised to lead us to righteousness, love, and eternal life. If only we will just listen and obey. If you cant hear, tell Him.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
