My Plea!

My Plea, My Declaration, and My Decree!

I will cry tears to You O’ Father and say, “You are my Father, My God and the Rock of my salvation.  You are my healer, my protector, my wisdom, my strength, my fortress, my righteousness, my truth, my guide, my rewarder, my confidence, my hope, my light, my support, and my supply,

Therefore, I refuse eat the Bread of Wickedness and drink the Wine of the Violence so rampant in the world as well as not to travel the way of evil or to walk down the path of the wicked and associate with those who have turned away from Your sweet grace and mercy.

I declare and decree what the Psalmist declares in Psalm 1:1-3, 6 (AMP). The Psalmist records and I made these or changes in green which refer to me – man to Am I, his to my, he to I, does to do.

BLESSED

 (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable)

 is the

man (AM I)

 who walks

 and

lives not in the

counsel of the ungodly

 [following their advice,

their plans and purposes],

nor stands

 [submissive and inactive]

in the path where sinners walk,

 nor sits down

 [to relax and rest]

where the scornful

 [and the mockers]

gather.

But

his (My)

delight and desire are

in the law of the Lord,

and

on His law

(the precepts, the instructions,

the teachings of God)

                                                             he (I)

habitually meditates

(ponders and studies)

by day and by night.

                                                        And

                                                          he (I)

shall be like a tree firmly planted

[and tended]

by the streams of water,

ready to bring forth its fruit

 in its season;

its leaf also shall

 not fade or wither;

and

everything

 he (I)

does (do) shall prosper

[and come to maturity].

For the Lord knows

and

is fully acquainted with the

way of the righteous,

but the

way of the ungodly

[those living outside God’s will]

shall perish

(end in ruin and come to nought).

Therefore, I choose to eat and drink in the Kingdom of Heaven and not the world and the things of the world but to stand before Christ and give Him praise and glory for all that He has done for me.

        The day is coming when I will graduate from this earthly life and stand before the Great Shepherd who gave up His life on the Cross for me.  He was placed in a tomb and three days later His Father raised His Son up from death and He walked out of the tomb.

The day draws near for His return to earth with the saints of heaven where He will establish His Kingship over all the earth for one-thousand years. Glory to God, for I will be one of those coming back to earth in a glorified body to help Him reign over all these nations.
