Would you call “brink living” as “living on the edge”, but sadly not entering in to one’s “land of promise”? There is an interesting word in Isaiah 29:13-16 when the Lord said, “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden. (My Pastor son, Scott Fisher, called this JUDGMENT or better still: “Shock and awe!”)

Isaiah heard God say more when in Verses 15-16 he recorded God’s words: “Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord, and their works are in the dark; they say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?” Surely you have turned things around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; for shall the thing made say of him who made it, ‘He did not make me’? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?

In Proverbs 10:14 we read: “Wise people store up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is NEAR destruction.” Is ‘brink-living’ drawing ‘near’, yet in reality it means “far away”? When it comes to ‘spiritual reality’ is ‘brink living’ marginal with hope or “missing the mark for the prize of the high-calling of God in Christ Jesus”? Is an ‘edge’ the eternal entrance?

I find it so interesting that the “praise-writer” of Psalm 100, Verses 4-5, wrote: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.” But, by some, is “truth” perverted, diluted, spoiled, and ‘soiled’ by a rebellious mind and heart? In Romans 1:24-25 we read: “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness , in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen (or ‘so be it’!).”

They ‘exchanged the truth of God for the lie’? “The lie”? That’s saying that one can sin without the consequences of ‘death’ as its payment! But Romans 6:23 declares, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” And what did the Lord Jesus say in John 8: 12 to the woman caught in adultery, “Go and sin no more,” unless you buy in to one’s self-promoting interpretation: “You can’t do anything but sin until you get to heaven”, conveniently denying the Truth, the authority, and the power of the Indwelling Christ to KEEP YOU FROM SINNING!

Did the psalmist write, guided, governed, and given Truth by the Holy Spirit? And, if so, has ‘Truth’ endured, or is it blighted, denied, overlooked by ‘self-centered extremists’ who love their sin natures and have no desire to be set free from that nature? Oh, the ‘sin-bound’ continue in their bondage, but, yes, billions world-wide live under the awesome authority and presence of the Resurrected King of kings and Lord of lords, convicted, converted, and consecrated to God’s glory by the Holy Spirit!

Are you familiar with Paul’s testimony found in Acts 22:6-8? Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” So I answered, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said to me, “I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.”

Are you aware of the consequences in Paul’s life related to his religious prominence, his ‘favored placement by ‘men’ in a respected role’, or the cost he would have to pay for his, yes, all-out surrender to Christ’s Lordship? There came a moment when the religious elite of his day said of Paul, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live.” [There did come a day when he paid with his physical life for his surrender to Christ’s Lordship!].

I’m convinced that one of those life-changing events, like the man born blind in John 9, is a powerful testimony still standing in our modern day! It was the Sabbath Day, and on this ‘holy day’ the man born blind from birth, met Jesus who challenged him in John 9:11 and then made clay and anointed his eyes and told him, “Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.” So I went and washed, and I received sight.” And in John 9:25 the “newly-sighted disciple of Christ” said: “One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.” He trusted Christ! And in John 9:39 the Lord Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made (permanently) blind.” There are ‘blind’ folks, not only physically, but spiritually who need their spiritual vision banned by Jesus, and new vision given that is of the eternal realm! And there are some who “see” for themselves but inwardly blinded to eternal reality! This is why Jesus said in John 9:41, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.” Self-deception is spiritual blindness!

This is exactly why Jesus said of national Israel (about 700BC), instituting national judgment, Hosea 4:6-7, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. The more they increased, the more they sinned against Me; Because you have forgotten the law of Your God, I also will forget your children.”

Dare I tell you that “the just (or justified)” shall, do, and are living on, in, and by the eternal foundation Holy God laid in and through and to the honor of Christ alone? In Romans 1:16-21 the Apostle wrote: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

“Brink living”? The ignoring of the righteousness of God because one determines ‘self’ is more important than a “Savior”, that the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men shouldn’t be judged, penalized, or refuted even if by a “God”, that one’s self-determination of what one sees ‘truth’ to be is just as legitimate as what God says it is, vile passions is normal and natural even if ‘your Holy God’ disagrees, that societies, lives, families, nations, even churches, have choices – “and if my unbelieving mind, spirit, and heart disagree with God’s declarations, so be it, we’ll live with the consequences!” And they do! “The wages of sin is death!”

One of the sad realities of a life that ‘straddles the fence of separation from God’ because of “brink living,” living on the edge of fleshly indulgence while wanting ‘to be spiritual’, is a frame of mind and heart that isn’t aware that Christ Jesus knows one’s mind and heart condition! Jesus IS the eternal discerner of every man’s heart! In fact, in John 2:23-25, John unveils Jesus’ awareness of every man’s mind and heart. It says: Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. But JESUS DID NOT COMMIT HIMSELF TO THEM, because he knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”

Of course, there are those who live a “brink living” lifestyle that, yes, because of the divine conviction of the Holy Spirit, choose to ignore, block out the Spirit, self-convincing themselves their sin and guilt is not as bad as it seems, but CONVICTED, will deny the Spirit and choose to live with the aching abyss of their guilt, and ‘whitewash’ their minds and hearts that they are ‘OK’, but refuse to receive Christ’s love, forgiveness, hope, and power, more despairing of Him than themselves!

But, hear me! John 3:14-21 declares eternal truth from the very lips of Jesus Himself! It says: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in [trusts in, relies upon, adheres to] Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For everyone practicing evil (and continues to do so!) hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” (Would Paul’s statement, “I die daily,” line up with what our Lord said? “I die daily” that His Resurrection Life may be manifested in mortal flesh!? Have You “come to the Light”?)

Beyond “brink living” is the reality of eternal hope in and through Christ alone BECAUSE Jesus and God’s Holy Word assures us on “the break-through to liberty and freedom in Christ’s Resurrection Presence in the man of a repentant heart”, desiring to be the vessel of Jesus’ ever-abiding life, one is assured of the help, hope, and holiness of a victorious, overcoming, Christ-honoring life!

Do you think that if we were crucified with Christ, old man buried with Him, and then raised to “new life”, that because of our repentance toward God and faith in our Lord’s finished, victorious work through the Cross and empty tomb, that today we are blessed to walk now and forever in His “newness of life”? In Romans 6:5-7, and 17-18, Paul illumines and encourages ‘the life crucified with Christ” and “raised in eternal hope”!

Romans 6:5-7, “For IF we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, KNOWING THIS, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.

Romans 6:17-18, But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”

Freed from the bondage of sin and death! Freed from the “old Adam sin nature”! Freed from the blindness, “There is no God!” Freed from the slavery of the powers of darkness! Freed from the emptiness and vainness of Godless living! Freed from the deathliness of faithless living and the scourge of the fallen, separated from, alienated from God sin nature, and the deep darkness and strangulation of unbelief that clouds the “Son-Light” of Holy God’s redeeming love and grace!

But in the aloneness of sin and self-affliction, in the affliction of separation from God, in the present or coming thwarting of ‘pleasure’ and its emptiness of divine intent or eternal purpose, here comes the Holy Spirit to convict you of sin, righteousness, and judgment to come, opening your eyes and hearts and minds to Sovereign grace, mercy, and love, unveiling the “Loving Redeemer” who went to the Cross to purchase you out of your bondage to sin, to death, to meaninglessness, to fleshly emptiness, even to the ‘slavish indifference’ to the love of God!

So…”New Life” in Christ! What about a “new, never-dying song of praise” in the inner man? Would a “new tree of life” abundant with the “fruit of the Spirit” stir your interest, capture your attention, and overflow you with awesome appreciation and thanksgiving because you see, taste, and rejoice in His, yes, fruits of righteousness abounding in and around you? ‘Temple living’ in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ? 2 Corinthians 6:16b declares: “For you ( in Christ) ARE the temple of the living God!” And, of course, there is a huge war that continues because of, yes, daily yielding to one’s ‘flesh’ or fully surrendered to the Spirit of Jesus within us! Have you ever wondered why Old Testament servants of God were challenged to “choose YOU this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord?”

Are YOU willing to be the “new cart” in and through which Christ Jesus chooses to “ride” and “reign” through? Does “new kingdom allegiance” guide you, govern you, and grace you with the eternalness of His everlasting Kingdom-reign? “New garments”, like clothed with our “habitation which is from heaven”? “New name”? Consider that His eternal kingdom has no end – and when the earthly dwelling “dies” and we begin the after-physical-life journey, does it matter to you what name the Lord has already determined for you? Certainly, it will be a “new name” explaining to others how He saw your earthly journey and how that “name” will be upheld forever and ever!

“New creation”! Old things passed away because they were crucified with Christ on the Cross, and His “new man” was blue-printed out by Sovereign, Holy, Purposeful God in designing you as His special tool to touch your world with His witnessing presence! He captured you by His “new and living way,” and hear how Hebrews 10:19-23 describes His manifested Presence in and through each born-again believer and servant of the Resurrected Christ!

“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us DRAW NEAR with A True Heart in Full Assurance of Faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” Do you walk, work, worship, willfully offer yourself daily to His Holy, High, and Heavenly plan? And you walk in His liberty and freedom? You walk in “the new and living Way”? I close with verses from John 1:35-36 that says, Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

What will be said of you as you ‘walk’, having professed: “I serve the King of kings and Lord of lords”? Is there the unveiling of “the Lamb of God”? Are YOU His “new creation” walking in “breakthrough liberty and freedom”?

JUNE 21-22, 2018, BY: J.FARRELL FISHER

Highly interesting Verse in Psalm 90:11, a prayer of Moses which is highly significant when he said: “Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.” Would you say, “Yes, there IS the ‘power of God’s anger’, and it can be and is expressed to the ‘godless’, and, at times, even upon His own people!

In Exodus 4, Moses, receiving instructions from the Lord about appearing and accusing Pharaoh for his actions against God’s “chosen people”, reacts to God about His instructions, and in Exodus 4:14 the Word tells us: “So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses…”! That bothers some people who profess faith because their attitude is, “Holy God should never be angry with anybody, especially His own people”, and yet it’s clear from Genesis through Revelation that there IS “divine anger” as there is “flesh anger”!

(Of course, ‘flesh-folk’, even ‘God’s own children of faith’, are fully aware of the moment or moments when emotions arise of instant displeasure, instant hostility, instant indignation, from feelings of injustice, injury, or incompatibility with one’s expectations!).

There is no doubt that, even in the “Christian communities of faith”, there ARE the ‘moments’ (?), or the ‘s (?), or the ‘days’ (?), when Holy God Himself stands in “firm” opposition to the ‘flesh acts’ of some believers at times, that I would say ‘at least’ should be very infrequent!

Legitimate anger among believers? In Ephesians 4:26 Paul wrote, “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, Verse 27, nor give place to the devil.” Uncontrolled anger, undisciplined anger, unnecessary anger, has a special place, standing before Holy God ,to give an explanation, and repent or else!

Merrill Unger, in his huge “Unger’s Bible Dictionary”, published by Moody Press in 1974, wrote: “Anger is sinful when it rises too soon, without reflection; when the injury which awakens it is only apparent; when it is disproportionate to the offense; when it is transferred from the guilty to the innocent; when it is too long protracted and becomes revengeful.”

Illegitimate anger among believers? In Matthew 5:21-22 we read, Jesus speaking, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. BUT I SAY TO YOU that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause (so ‘anger’ without a cause faces ‘judgment’ but ‘anger’ with a cause faces judgment? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!) shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ (OR ‘worthless’, ‘empty’, ‘good-for-nothing’) shall be in danger of the council.)” That doesn’t sound good! But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.”

Illegitimate anger? In Genesis 49:5-7, as the Spirit-inspired what Jacob spoke, we read, “Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place. Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel!”

Did you notice? “Anger, self-will, cruelty, ‘slaying folk’” – and that doesn’t have to be just ‘physical murder’ – it can be ‘spiritual murder’ as one cruelly puts down a “fellow saint” for not measuring up to one’s ‘fleshly opinion’!

In Proverbs 29:20-23 we read, “Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. He who pampers his servant from childhood will have him as a son in the end. An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgressions. A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.” Dare I tell you? A humble man can rise up in anger because of the ill-will for one man or the other, but a proud man will rise up in uncontrollable anger because he’s self-empowered for his honor and not God’s!! And he faces eternal danger or damnation!

Included also for those who walk the waves of illegitimate anger are those who carelessly brutalize a wife, a husband, a friend, a business associate, a classmate, or even an enemy, without any consideration of Holy God in making an eternal difference in a man’s inhumanity toward others! Consider ‘kids’, ‘teenagers’, brought up in godless neighborhoods or with godless parents, and, at times, find no problem in shaming, disgracing, even brutalizing a ‘lone sheep’ without a guardian because Mom and Dad both work and he’s left alone to ‘try’ and make it in, around, and through reckless bands of neighborhood ‘kids’ that act like ‘demons’ toward others! There are ruthless kids, young adults, even angry men, and they remain that way because self-will, self-determination about who or what one likes, with ‘self-sovereignty’ reigning supreme in their sinful hearts, AND THEY LIKE IT, at least, for a time in their godless adventures, and with illegitimate anger come against others!

And the illegitimately angry crowd has NOTHING to be proud about in, at times, their unrighteous outbursts of anger, indecency, and fleshly pride! In Romans 1:18-2:11 Paul writes a powerful word about what I seek to expose. Listen!! “For the WRATH OF GOD is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God IS MANIFEST IN THEM, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE; because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful,

But became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like corruptible man – and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. THEREFORE God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, WHO EXCHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD FOR “THE LIE”, (“THE LIE”? One can sin and not die!!), and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. ( ISN’T THIS WORD ENOUGH?). BUT…

Romans 2:1-11 says, “Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to THOSE WHO ARE SELF-SEEKING and DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, but obey unrighteousness – indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.” DOES THAT SPEAK TO YOU, AWAKEN YOU, AND TURN YOU FROM THE EVIL WAY TO THE WAY OF CHRIST ALONE?

The ‘self-seekers’, the ‘self-promoters’, the ‘self-worshippers’, have no problem “pushing God away” from their hearts, but their minds cannot obliterate the reality of God from their thinking processes! In Romans 1:19-20 (NLT), Paul wrote inspired by the Holy Spirit, “For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has PUT THIS KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR HEARTS. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature. So that they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.”

The ‘self-seekers’ supposedly don’t ‘know God’ because they choose to be blind to His Presence, yes, even as He “knocks on their hearts’ doors”, because they are ‘in love’ with their sin-natures, ‘deceived’ by Satan, and captivated by a ‘world-spirit’ that tries to shut God out! How foolish, how ridiculous, how stupid!

In Psalm 2:1-6 there are powerful statements about ‘fallen man’s attempts’ about radicalizing God out of their existence, though He never leaves! It says: “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot (or ‘imagine’) a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.’ (BUT) He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. THEN He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure. “Yet (in spite of My displeasure) I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” GLORY!!

‘Self-seekers’ have no desire to face God’s reactions to their attempts to annihilate “Faith and Forgiveness and a God-Present Now” in the inner man, since ‘self-rule’ is more desirable to them than the love, grace, and mercy of God in “birthing” NEW MEN by His eternal Power and Glory and Purposes, and His Resurrected Presence “in Christ Jesus”!

Many unbelievers and “pretenders” won’t like it, but Seneca, in the writing, “De Providentia, V”, said: “Gold is tried in fire, and acceptable men (by God) in the furnace of adversity.” So true! Didn’t Isaiah write, in Isaiah 30:20, “””””And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers.”””””” Dare me to tell you? Believe I will! Examine “misguided anger,” “massive anger”, “minimal anger”, OR, dare you look at the “Master’s anger”?

Verse 21, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.” Walking IN “the Way”? Man’s ‘ways’ or God’s “Way, Truth, and Life”? Dare YOU “rest” in Psalm 18:28-36, and Verses 46-50?

Psalm 18:28-36 says: “For You will light my lamp; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, AND makes my way perfect.

He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on high places. He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, so my feet do not slip.” Oh, and then, Verses 46-50! It says: “The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.

It is God who avenges me, and subdues the peoples under me; He delivers me from my enemies. YOU also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man. Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing praises to Your name. Great deliverance He gives to His king, and shows mercy to His anointed, to David and his descendants forevermore (and to Farrell & Sue Fisher and their descendants FOREVERMORE!!).

I wrote a few words just moments ago entitled, “I AM MY LORD’S”! It says: “I am my Lord’s, and He is mine, my Lord and Savior, yes, God divine…

In adversity, distress, and ‘enemy attack’, the Lord is ever faithful in guarding against Satan’s attacks.

Though the pathway of life may be filled with strife, my Lord is able to resurrect ‘death’ into eternal life!

Eternal Life, His present reality, Eternal Life, His constant provision, divinely resident to halt Satan’s derision.

I am my Lord, and He is mine, my Lord and Savior, yes, God divine. Never to leave me or strand me alone, His present voice Heaven’s constant, familiar tone!

“I’ll never leave you to strive on your own – You are MINE, and because of My Presence, YOU WILL SHINE!

Shine to My glory, shine to My praise, because of mercy and grace, YOU I will raise, raised to My Presence, never to depart, YOU are made ONE with the Father’s heart!” Amen and Amen and Amen? Glory to our Lord’s Precious Name, yes, constantly of will, bowing continuously to the Father’s heart!” AMEN?
