Scripture is from the King James Version and appears in Italics

  

Keep yourselves in the love of God,

looking for the mercy

of

our Lord Jesus Christ

unto

eternal life…

  

While here

in the flesh

imperative

restorative

required

reunion

communion

daily

continually

in the hope of God’s eternal living Word

here

among

the profane

daily needing to separate the way

from the absurd

  

We must live continually

like sea otters and seals live in the world’s oceans

in the Living Waters of God’s inerrant Word

not permitting the world’s contamination

abomination

as the world kills and pollutes this earth’s seas

it

also

perverts

corrupts

disrupts

diverts

deceives

neglects until opportune time to infect

with its death inducing

pollution

the Life-Giving eternal waters

of

God’s

Living, Active, Inerrant Word!

  

Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling,

and to present you faultless

before the presence of His glory

with exceeding joy,

Looking for that blessed hope,

and the glorious appearing

of the great God and

our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Looking for and hasting

unto the coming of the day of God,

wherein

the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,

and the elements

shall melt with fervent heat?

So…

Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;

and unto them that look for Him

shall He appear

the second time

without sin

unto salvation.

But ye,

beloved,

building up yourselves on your most holy faith,

praying in the Holy Ghost,

Keep yourselves in the love of God,

looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

And of some have compassion,

making a difference:

And others save with fear,

pulling them out of the fire;

hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

  

We

professing truth being self-professed true believers then

of a remnant of faithful fabric remaining

must heed

with faith greater than that

of a mustard seed

the complete Scriptures

knowing

going

to

God’s Living Word in hope

in constant

daily

always

perpetual hope…

come what may

in our day(s)

nights

plights

fights

ways

means

towards the end

our constant thanks to God our Father

we must send…

  

LOOKING FOR THE MERCY…

LOOKING FOR THE MERCY…

  

assured

yet not taken for granted

we are instructed always, throughout to live in HOPE

without DOUBT

but that does not translate

into

ONCE AND DONE

no matter what we do

what we believe

how we behave

to whom we become slave (this world weighs it’s chains upon you!)

  

We

are

instructed

continually

throughout

to look for the mercy

to place our hearts, our eyes, our thoughts, our minds

our souls

our spirits

our all

upon the things of heaven

of God our merciful, gracious, loving Father

never forgetting

Him paying the ultimate price

paying for our sins

the only truth

the only light

(in this always in the dark world!)

the only way

today

tomorrow

as in the past

all we see and know is fleeting

temporary going, going gone!

Only the ways of God and His heaven

the depths of hell in the endless lake of fire

the new heaven

the new earth

the all spiritual realm

dimensions about to come

as this world comes undone…

  

Only God, Jesus Christ the Lord, the Holy Spirit

eternal living Word,

saved saints in new body with new names

in heaven

and the damned in hell

will be — are eternal

  

Oh

let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;

but establish the just:

for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

For

if the word spoken by angels was stedfast,

and every transgression

and disobedience

received a just recompence of reward;

I wisdom

dwell with prudence,

and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Finally,

be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Put on the full armor of God,

so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

but against the rulers,

against the authorities,

against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore

put on the full armor of God,

so that when the day of evil comes,

you may be able to stand your ground,

and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then,

with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,

with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

and with your feet

fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this,

take up the shield of faith,

with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation

and the sword of the Spirit,

which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions

with all kinds of prayers and requests.

With this in mind,

be alert

and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Pray also for me,

that whenever I speak,

words may be given me

so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chains.

Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
