“THE MIND-FULL-NESS OF MISERY
OR
THE MIND FULL OF GOD’S MERCY?”
BY:J.FARRELL FISHER, JUNE 6-7, 2019
IT WAS JOHN BUNYAN WHO WROTE YEARS AGO IN HIS “PILGRIM’S PROGRESS”, “AS FOR MY FEEBLE MIND, THAT I WILL LEAVE BEHIND ME, FOR THAT I HAVE NO NEED OF THAT IN THE PLACE WHITHER I GO; NOR IS IT WORTH BESTOWING UPON THE POOREST PILGRIM; WHEREFORE, WHEN I AM GONE, I DESIRE THAT YOU WOULD BURY IT IN A DUNGHILL.” SORRY BUNYAN, BUT YEARS AGO YOU ALIGNED YOURSELF WITH ‘SPIRITUAL STUPIDITY’, NOT WITH SOVEREIGN GRACE & MERCY & LOVE! “THE MIND-FULL-NESS OF MISERY”?
IN “THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGIOUS QUOTATIONS” (PUBLISHED IN 1964 BY FLEMING H.REVELL COM., WESTWOOD, NJ), RICHARD CECIL WROTE THIS: “A PERFECTLY JUST & SOUND MIND IS A RARE & INVALUABLE GIFT. BUT IT IS STILL MORE UNUSUAL TO SEE SUCH A MIND UNBIASED IN ALL ITS ACTINGS. GOD HAS GIVEN THIS SOUNDNESS OF MIND BUT TO FEW: & A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THESE FEW ESCAPE THE BIAS OF SOME PREDILECTION PERHAPS HABITUALLY OPERATING; & NONE ARE AT ALL TIMES PERFECTLY FREE. AN EXQUISITE WATCH WENT IRREGULARLY, THOUGH NO DEFECT COULD BE DISCOVERED IN IT. AT LAST IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BALANCE WHEEL HAD BEEN NEAR A MAGNET; & HERE WAS ALL THE MISCHIEF. IF THE SOUNDEST MIND BE MAGNETIZED BY ANY PREDILECTION, IT MUST ACT IRREGULARLY.”
‘PREDILECTION PERHAPS HABITUALLY OPERATING’? A ‘GODLESS MIND’ THAT FUNCTIONS ON THE BASIS OF HIS/HER OWN THOUGHTS,WILLS, OR EMOTIONS, IS A TRUE PICTURE OPERATING HABITUALLY ON ‘FLESH’, THE ‘WORLD’S OPINIONS, &, YES, THE SATANIC & DEMONIZED MIND SET’ FULLY OPPOSED TO GOD! BUT J.B.PHILLIPS, IN HIS WRITING ENTITLED “NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANITY”, SAID: “THE MODERN INTELLIGENT MIND, WHICH HAS HAD ITS HORIZONS WIDENED IN A DOZEN DIFFERENT WAYS, HAS GOT TO BE SHOCKED AFRESH BY THE AUDACIOUS CENTRAL FACT THAT AS A SOBER MATTER OF HISTORY, GOD BECAME ONE OF US.” BUT MINDS,YES, HELL-BENT BY SATAN, THE PROMOTER OF “HAS GOD REALLY SAID…?”, HAS SAID,BECAUSE SATAN, AS ‘lord’ over the kingdom of darkness, had no desire to honor God’s Word,BUT SOUGHT TO DISTRACT EVERY HUMAN POSSIBLE FROM HEARING THE “GOOD NEWS OF BLOOD-BOUGHT RECONCILIATION THROUGH CHRIST THE LORD, THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF HOLY GOD IN THE NATURAL ESTATE OF LIFE POISONED BY THE ‘FALLING AWAY FROM GOD” STUPIDITY”,& SATAN, A FALLEN WORLD SYSTEM AWAY FROM GOD, & CEMENTED-SELF-SUFFICIENTLY OF GOD, SEEK TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY OF HIM, NOT EVEN KNOWING THERE IS A ‘DAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY’ WHEN THEY’LL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF KING JESUS!!
“A MIND OF ONE’S OWN”? OF COURSE, GOD SAID OVER & OVER, “YOU CHOOSE WHOM OR WHAT YOU’LL SERVE!” SO, GODLESS HUMANITY EMERGED, GODLESS SOCIETIES SICKENED WITH THE ‘DISEASE OF SIN’ EMERGED, THE LAWLESS BECAME BLAMELESS, THE ‘RELIGIOUS’ BECAME ‘BRAIN-WASHED’ WITH A MORAL DESERT OF ‘GOD UNDERSTANDS KNOWING WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING BUT SIN’, & THE ‘CHURCH-ITES’, THE ‘PRIEST-ITES’, THE HIGHLY EDUCATED IN MANLY FLESHLINESS, COOPERATED TO TRY & BLIND GOD’S “REMNANT” TO THE ETERNAL TRUTH THAT FALLEN MANKIND WAS “CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST”, BUT RAISED IN POWER & GLORY TO OFFER THE ETERNAL REALITY OF “CHRIST IN YOU YOUR HOPE OF GLORY.”
“THE MINDFULNESS OF MISERY?” IT WAS WALTER LIPPMANN WHO ONCE SAID, “IN THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS TO INTOLERANCE ARE THE SEEDS OF UNBELIEF.” SEEDS OF UNBELIEF? BUT THEY SOON ERUPT IN SERIOUS OPPOSITION TO HOLY GOD! SEEDS OF UNBELIEF BIRTH RADICAL, YES, CRIMINAL OPPOSITION TO HOLY GOD, ALWAYS BIRTHING THE MINDS OF MISERY BECAUSE IT UNVEILS & EXPOSES THE CORRUPTION OF A CHRIST-LESS CONSCIENCE, SELFISH EMOTIONS, & ‘DRUNKEN’ HABITS THAT ‘BLIND’ ONE TO THE SOBERNESS OF YIELDEDNESS TO GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY, HIS AMAZING LOVE, & HIS ETERNAL GRACE!
“THE MINDFULNESS OF MISERY?” UNBELIEF WAS ‘BIRTHED’ BY SATAN & THE ‘POWERS OF DARKNESS’ TO PROMOTE, BUT DEMOTE MEN, TO SATANIC SUPERFICIAL THINKING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AWESOME MIND & HEART OF HOLY GOD. ‘THE MINDFULNESS OF MISERY’? IT’S ONE MAJORING ON HIS/HER INABILITY AS A ‘SUPERFICIAL THINKER’ TO EVEN TRY TO DEAL WITH ETERNALLY BIRTHED, SOVEREIGNLY SUPERINTENDED, GRACIOUSLY TAUGHT BY ANOINTED MEN OF GOD, THE REALITY OF “BLOOD REDEMPTION THEOLOGY” THROUGH THE BIRTH, LIFE, DEATH, RESURRECTION, & PRESENT REIGN OF KING JESUS!
“THE MINDFULNESS OF MISERY?” DENYING GOD’S GRACE & MERCY IS THE ‘PLATFORM’ OF A SELF-GOVERNING CANDIDATE WHO ‘MOCKS’ AT GOD’S ETERNAL TRUTH AS HE/SHE SPOUTS IGNOBLE UNBELIEF! HAVE YOU EVER VIEWED A ‘DESERT’ THAT IS BARREN, A ‘DESERT’ THAT DENIES ‘SOVEREIGNTY’, A ‘DESERT’ THAT SEES ‘TRUE FAITH’ AS A BOARDING ROOM IN HELL, A ‘DESERT’ THAT IS SURELY ‘CRIMINAL’ BECAUSE IT SETTLED IN DEFILED HEARTS & NOT SOVEREIGNLY BLESSED, REPENTANT SINNERS, CONVERTED TO EXTEND GOD’S KINGDOM, EXPRESS HIS LOVE, & PROVE HIS POWER? IN ISAIAH 59:1-10,NOT ONLY ABOUT ISRALEIS WHO LIVED IN DARKNESS, BUT WE READ, YES, ABOUT THE ‘FAITHLESS’, THE SPIRITUALLY INDIFFERENT, THE ‘MIND OF MY OWN PRETENDER’ THAT EVERY THING IS ‘OK’ BECAUSE HE/SHE IS IN CONTROL, & HOLY GOD UNVEILS THAT PERSON OR THAT PEOPLE’S ETERNAL DEATH SENTENCE UNDER SATAN’S CONTROL:
“BEHOLD, THE LORD’S HAND IS NOT SHORTENED THAT IT CANNOT SAVE;NEITHER HIS EAR HEAVY THAT HE CANNOT HEAR: BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED BETWEEN YOU & YOUR GOD, & YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE FROM YOU, THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR. (WHY?), FOR YOUR HANDS ARE DEFILED WITH BLOOD, & YOUR FINGERS WITH INIQUITY; YOUR LIPS HAVE SPOKEN LIES, YOUR TONGUE HAS MUTTERED PERVERSENESS. NONE CALLS FOR JUSTICE, NOR ANY PLEADS FOR TRUTH: THEY TRUST IN VANITY, & SPEAK LIES; THEY CONCEIVE MISCHIEF, & BRING FORTH INIQUITY. THEY HATCH COCKATRICE’EGGS, & WEAVE THE SPIDER’S WEB; HE THAT EATS OF THEIR EGGS DIES; & THAT WHICH IS CRUSHED BREAKS OUT IN A VIPER (SNAKE).
THEIR WEBS SHALL NOT BECOME GARMENTS, NEITHER SHALL THEY COVER THEMSELVES WITH THEIR WORKS: THEIR WORKS ARE WORKS OF INIQUITY, & THE ACT OF VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR HANDS. THEIR FEET RUN TO EVIL, & THEY MAKE HASTE TO SHED INNOCENT BLOOD (BE SURE & TELL THAT TO THE PARENTS & DOCTORS & HOSPITALS & ADMINISTRATORS WHO ALLOW PRECIOUS BIRTHED BABIES IN THE WOMB OR OUT OF IT TO BE ‘KILLED’! SHAME ON YOU!).
THEIR THOUGHTS ARE THOUGHTS OF INIQUITY; WASTING & DESTRUCTION ARE IN THEIR PATHS. THE WAY OF PEACE THEY KNOW NOT; & THERE IS NO JUDGMENT IN THEIR GOINGS; THEY HAVE MADE THEM CROOKED PATHS: WHOEVER GOES THEREIN SHALL NOT KNOW PEACE. THEREFORE IS JUDGMENT FAR FROM US, NEITHER DOES JUSTICE OVERTAKE US; WE WAIT FOR LIGHT, BUT BEHOLD OBSCURITY; FOR BRIGHTNESS, BUT WE WALK IN DARKNESS. WE GROPE FOR THE WALL LIKE THE BLIND, & WE GROPE AS IF WE HAD NO EYES; WE STUMBLE AT NOON DAY AS IN THE NIGHT;WE ARE IN DESOLATE PLACES AS DEAD MEN.” AND, DEAR FRIEND, THAT’S FOR THE UNBELIEVER, THE ‘PRETENDER’, THE ‘CHURCH FOLK’ WHO’VE NEVER DIED TO ‘SELF’ THAT THE RESURRECTION PRESENCE OF CHRIST MAY BE MANIFESTED IN & THROUGH THEIR MORTAL BODIES!! NO LONGER PRETENSE – BUT HIS PRESENCE! NO LONGER TRYING – BUT TRUSTING! NO LONGER ‘BEST EFFORT’ – BUT GLADLY ACCEPTING “CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST” SO THAT HE’LL KNOW HE WILL BE COMFORTABLE IN A BODILY PRESENCE THAT PLAYS NO ‘RELIGIOUS GAME ON SUNDAYS’ BUT KNOWS HIS ETERNAL, RESURRECTED, SPIRITUAL PRESENCE UNVEILED BY THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT!!!
OH, YES! THERE IS “THE MINDFULNESS OF MISERY”, BUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN OF A DARKENED LIFE? IT IS “THE MIND FULL OF GOD’S MERCY”!!! PSALM 103:17 DECLARES, “BUT THE MERCY OF THE LORD IS FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING UPON THEM THAT FEAR HIM, & HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO CHILDREN’S CHILDREN.” WOW!! JEREMY TAYLOR ONCE WROTE: “MERCY IS LIKE THE RAINBOW, WHICH GOD HAS SET IN THE CLOUDS; IT NEVER SHINES AFTER IT IS NIGHT. –IF WE REFUSE MERCY HERE, WE SHALL HAVE JUSTICE IN ETERNITY.”
HOW CLEAR DO “YOU” FIND TITUS 3:5 AS PAUL ENCOURAGED A SPIRITUAL SON AS WE SHOULD TO EVERYONE AROUND US TODAY! HE SAID: “NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, & RENEWING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.” THE MIND FULL OF GOD’S MERCY IS AN AMAZED ‘OBSERVER’ WHO WITNESSES CHRIST’S CRUCIFIXION & RECOGNIZES, AS HE SHEDS HIS OWN BLOOD, SEES HIS LIFE OFFERED AS GOD’S MOUNTAINOUS MERCY FOR ALL ‘SINNERS’, & EVEN AS THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, THE LORD, FROM THE PAINFUL CROSS, PRAYED, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWING IN MY SUFFERING, MY SHED BLOOD, & MY DEATH”, BUT HE KNEW, AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, THERE WOULD BE MULTITUDES WHO LEAN NOT TO THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING, BUT LEAN ON CHRIST’S MERCY!
IN “THE BROADMAN HYMNAL” OF 1940 (PUBLISHED IN NASHVILLE, TENN., BY THE BROADMAN PRESS, (P.112), IS A HYMN BY ISAAC WATTS & R.E.HUDSON ENTITLED “AT THE CROSS.” IT SAYS: “ALAS, & DID MY SAVIOR BLEED, & DID MY SOVEREIGN DIE? WOULD HE DEVOTE THAT SACRED HEAD FOR SUCH A WORM AS I?
WAS IT FOR CRIMES THAT I HAVE DONE, HE GROANED UPON THE TREE? AMAZING PITY! GRACE UNKNOWN! AND LOVE BEYOND DEGREE!
WELL MIGHT THE SUN IN DARKNESS HIDE , & SHUT HIS GLORIES IN, WHEN CJHRIST, THE MIGHTY MAKER DIED, FOR MAN THE CREATURE’S SIN.
BUT DROPS OF GRIEF CAN NEVER REPAY THE DEBT OF LOVE I OWE: HERE, LORD, I GIVE MYSELF AWAY, IT’S ALL THAT I CAN DO!
AT THE CROSS, AT THE CROSS WHERE I FIRST SAW THE LIGHT, & THE BURDEN OF MY HEART ROLLED AWAY, IT WAS THERE BY FAITH I RECEIVED MY SIGHT, & NOW I AM HAPPY ALL THE DAY!”
THIS IS WHY IN HEBREWS 12:28 WE READ, “WHEREFORE WE RECEIVING A KINGDOM WHICH CANNOT BE MOVED, LET US HAVE GRACE, WHEREBY WE MAY SERVE GOD ACCEPTABLY WITH REVERENCE & GODLY FEAR.”
“THE MIND FULL OF GOD’S MERCY”? I THINK THAT WOULD SET ASIDE WHAT ONE BELIEVES ABOUT “A MIND OF ONE’S OWN”, BECAUSE A MIND OF ONE’S OWN IS ‘GRASPING’ & ‘GRIPPING’ & SEEKING TO ‘GOVERN’ ONE’S OWN MIND APART FROM GOD’S INTERFERENCE! THAT’S WHAT PAUL UNDERSTOOD THROUGH, YES, THE ‘TUTORING’ OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO “GUIDES US & GOVERNS US IN ALL OF GOD’S HOLY TRUTHS”! IN ROMANS 1:28 HE WROTE ABOUT HIS OWN PEOPLE, THE ISRAELI ‘RELIGIOUS-SPIRITUALLY-ELITE’, AT LEAST IN THEIR OWN MINDS, SAYING OF THEM, “AND EVEN AS THEY DID NOT LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND, TO DO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT,” ADDING IN ROMANS 8:7 THE REALITY OF, “BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: FOR IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE.”
OH, PAUL DIDN’T SLOW DOWN AT ALL! IN EPHESIANS 4:17 HE WROTE: “THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU, TESTIFYING IN THE LORD, THAT YOU HENCEFORTH WALK NOT AS OTHER GENTILES WALK, IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MIND.” IN HIS COLOSSIANS LETTER, CHAPTER 2,VERSE 18, HE SAID: “LET NO MAN BEGUILE YOU OF YOUR REWARD IN A VOLUNTARY HUMILITY & WORSHIPPING OF ANGELS, INTRUDING INTO THOSE THINGS WHICH HE HAS NOT SEEN, VAINLY PUFFED UP BY HIS FLESHLY MIND, VERSE 19, & NOT HOLDING THE “HEAD”, FROM WHICH ALL THE BODY BY JOINTS & BANDS HAVING NOURISHMENT MINISTERED, & KNIT TOGETHER, INCREASES WITH THE (VERY) INCREASE OF GOD (HIMSELF) (IN ONE’S MIND, HEART, & SPIRIT)!!” (I’D ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND SOME GOOD TIME IN PSALM 37,ONE OF THE MOST ENLIGHTENING, CONVICTING, DRAWING PASSAGES OF HOLY SCRIPTURE ABOUT “THE GOOD MAN WHOSE VERY STEPS ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD”!).
APART FROM GOD’S PRESENCE IN A REPENTANT, TRUSTING HEART & MIND, MEN ARE ‘WANDERERS’ IN THE “STRANGE LAND OF GODLESSNESS” WITH “NO SOUNDNESS IN THEIR FLESH”, BUT ONLY “DIS-CHORDS”, “OFF-KEY”, “WILD-TUNES” OF SELF-TRUST THAT WINS SATAN’S ‘HELLISH AWARDS FOR SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTMENT” WHICH IS NOTHING MORE THAN SPIRITUAL STUPIDITY HEIGHTENING THE SINFUL HEART & MIND OF UNBELIEF OF RELIGIOUS PRETENDING! OH, BUT THERE IS FOREVER THE REALITY OF “THE MIND-FULL-NESS OF GOD’S MERCY”!
IN PSALM 103:17 THE PSALMIST ENLIGHTENS ALL WHO NEED TO BE ENLIGHTENED! HE SAID: “BUT THE MERCY OF THE LORD IS FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING UPON THEM THAT FEAR HIM, & HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO CHILDREN’S CHILDREN.” SO “AWE-INSPIRING”! WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, IN HIS WRITING, “THE MERCHANT OF VENICE,” (ACT IV, SC.1,L.184), WROTE: “THE QUALITY OF MERCY IS NOT STRAINED, IT DROPS AS THE GENTLE RAIN FROM HEAVEN UPON THE PLACE BENEATH:IT IS TWICE BLEST, IT BLESSES HIM THAT GIVES & HIM THAT TAKES: IT IS MIGHTIEST IN THE MIGHTY: IT BECOMES THE THRONED MONARCH BETTER THAN HIS CROWN…IT IS ENTHRONED IN THE HEARTS OF KNGS, IT IS AN ATTRIBUTE OF GOD HIMSELF.” GREAT WORDS, BUT LIMITING GOD’S MERCY ONLY TO KINGS DOESN’T PRESENT THE REALITY OF UNCHANGING TRUTH – GOD IS MERCIFUL TO ANY MAN WHO NEEDS MERCY & ASKS FOR IT!!
DIDN’T CHARLES WESLEY HAVE A “CHRISTMAS HYMN” IN WHICH HE’D WRITTEN THESE WORDS? “HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING, ‘GLORY TO THE NEW-BORN KING; PEACE ON EARTH, & MERCY MILD, GOD & SINNERS RECONCILED!” HAVE “YOU” BEEN RECONCILED TO GOD?
SEVERAL VITAL,ENLIGHTENING VERSES IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES!
- 2 CORINTHIANS 5:18, “AND ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD, WHO HAS RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST, & HAS GIVEN TO US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION.”
- EPHESIANS 2:16, “AND THAT HE (CHRIST JESUS) MIGHT RECONCILE BOTH (JEW & GENTILE) UNTO GOD IN ONE BODY BY THE CROSS, HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY…”
- HEBREWS 2:17, “WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN, THAT HE MIGHT BE A MERCIFUL & FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.” AMEN?
I CLOSE WITH WILLIAM WORDSWORTH’S WORDS IN HIS WRITING “THOUGHTS SUGGESTED ON THE BANKS OF THE NITH”:
“SWEET MERCY! TO THE GATES OF HEAVEN THIS MINSTREL LEAD, HIS SINS FORGIVEN; THE RUEFUL CONFLICT, THE HEART RIVEN WITH VAIN ENDEAVOR, & MEMORY OF EARTH’S BITTER LEAVEN EFFACED FOREVER.” AMEN?
EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, IF YOU ARE “IN CHRIST”, SHOULD BE A DAY OF TRUE WORSHIP, AWESOME PRAISE, & UNCEASING ADORATION FOR THE MERCIFUL SAVIOR, LORD, & LIBERATOR OF FALLEN MANKIND OUT OF ‘DEATH’ INTO “ETERNAL LIFE” BY GOD’S LOVEM HIS SAVING GRACE, & HIS EXTENDED HANDS OF MERCY!
HAVE “YOU” BEEN RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, THE REDEEMING “MEDIATOR” BETWEEN GOD & MAN THROUGH HIS “SHED BLOOD” ON CALVARY’S CROSS? I PROMISE YOU, I’M CLOSING THIS MESSAGE WITH ANOTHER OLD HYMN OUT OF THE BROADMAN HYMNAL ENTITLED “WHY DO YOU WAIT?” (P.170). IT SAYS: “WHY DO YOU WAIT, DEAR BROTHER, OH, WHY DO YOU TARRY SO LONG? YOUR SAVIOR IS WAITING TO GIVE YOU A PLACE IN THIS SANCTIFIED THRONG.
WHAT DO YOU HOPE, DEAR BROTHER, TO GAIN BY A FURTHER DELAY? THERE’S NO ONE TO SAVE YOU BUT JESUS, THERE’S NO OTHER WAY BUT HIS WAY.
DO YOU NOT FEEL, DEAR BROTHER, HIS SPIRIT NOW STRIVING WITHIN? OH, WHY NOT ACCEPT HIS SALVATION, & THROW OFF YOUR BURDEN OF SIN.
WHY DO YOU WAIT, DEAR BROTHER? THE HARVEST IS PASSING AWAY; YOUR SAVIOR IS LONGING TO BLESS YOU, THERE’S DANGER &DEATH IN DELAY. WHY NOT? WHY NOT? WHY NOT COME TO JESUS RIGHT NOW?” REPENT BEFORE HOLY GOD, & REACH OUT TO THE VICTORIOUS CHRIST WHO, YES, “WON” OVER SIN & DEATH, & PRESENTLY REIGNS, EVEN AS HE CONTINUALLY KNOCKS AT YOUR HEART’S DOOR,ASKING, “PLEASE, LET ME IN TO BLESS YOU BEYOND ANY MEASURE!!!” AMEN?777777777
