''The Ten Count!''

Matthew-12:31-32...

 

''We were taught to believe that the Great Spirit sees and hears everything, and that he never forgets, that hereafter

he will give every man a 'spirit-home' according to his deserts. This I believe, and all my people believe the same.''

Chief Joseph...''Nez Perce' Chie

 

''Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee!''

Goooood Morning!,..O.K. Now,..let's 'Pull that Stinger' out of Your ''Backside,''

and go Grab that ''Cup O' Joe!'',..better make it an ''Iced Latte,''...Take the 'Sting' out of this heat,..AND Your Backside!

Remember way back then?,..Ol' Ali yelling ..''I Am the Greatest'',..I'm so ''Purdy!''...What a 'Hoot!''..And You know what!

He Could Back it Up!

Got that ''Iced Cup O' Joe'' yet?...What are ya waiting for,..Go find a ''Corner'' to sit in, while We go a ''Couple O' Rounds!''

''Hmmmmm''..the 'Ten Count!'...Plain as the 'Nose on Your Mug,..ain't it?...No!...Well,..I ain't a talking about going Ten

Rounds with Ali,..or Frazier,..or even Tyson...I'm talking about ''Squaring off'' with that O'l ''Rope A Doper'' himself,.the

''Champ of Sin'',..the 'Ringmaster' of Deceit,...The ''Below the Belt'' Technician...Satan...

He'll 'Sucker-Punch' You,..Hit You Below the Waist,..Trip You,..Gouge You in the Eye's,...Then give you a ''Short-Count!''

Yes Sir!..He's the ''Heavy-Weight'' of Sin,..the 'Golden Glove's' of Everything that is Right with Wrong,..He Holds Every

''Title'' that there is,..From ''Bantam Weight, to Heavy Weight!''...Why he likes it when he is called the 'king!'....''Phooey!''

I been in the ''Ring'' with that O'l Juicer,..Yup!,..Me,.the ''O'l Preacher''...Stuck My Chest Out with ''Pride'',..''BAM!''..Got

knocked on My Backside,..First Punch,..Didn't even see it coming!...''7,...8,...9,,..''Get Up Preacher'',..the Corner is Yelling!

Slooooowly,.. up on one knee,..Dizzy,..nose bleeding,....Felt like I was O'l ''Rocky Balboa''...Stand up and another ''Hook''

Didn't see that one either!...''7,...8,..9,...'' ''Ding!''...Saved by the Bell!!

Guy in the Corner holds up ''Two fingers,..''Champ'',..How many fingers do you see?...''Ten'' I mumble,...Did he say ''Champ'',..

or was it ''CHUMP!''...

Crap,..That was only Round One,..Going to be a ''Looooong Fight!''...Second,..Through the ''Ninth'' is a Blur,..Funny thing,..

Seems that I could NEVER see the ''Punches Coming'',..Is that Why they call them...''SUCKER Punches''..or Maybe,...

I AM the Sucker!...Through each round he taunts Me,..''Don't Listen to those Corner Guys of yours,..Especially that

Trainer,..He doesn't know what He's Talking about!..Go Down,..I'll make You rich! Throw the Fight!..

Well Here it is,..Tenth and Final Round,..What to do?...The ''Cut Man'' opens my ''eye''...the swelling goes down,..I get

a drink of cool water,..Words of Faith and Encouragement,..THEN...The Voice of My New Trainer Quietly Speaks out to Me,...

''You haven't listened to a thing I said to you,..Your Wearing Special Gloves to Fight this Demon with,..The Left Glove is

the Glove of Faith,..the Right Glove is the Glove of Truth,..I HAVE Told You the Truth and have ASKED that You put Your

Faith in What I Taught You,..NOW,..Believe in ME,..Believe in MY WORD,..Go Knock him out..NOW!''..

The Bell Rings,..Final Round,..O'l Satan,..Grinning at Me,..those ''Beady Eye's''...Cowling Smile,..Taunting Me,..Waving

Me Towards him,..his ''Corner Girls'' trying to distract Me, as they have been in every round,....Again I catch a glimpse

of a jab,..I duck and throw an upper-cut with the left and follow with a hard Right,..He goes down,..Face contorted in

pain,..I ''Hit him with Faith, and Dropped him with ''Truth'',..''10''..He's OUT!... as a ''Towel'' flys by his head!...

My Trainer Stands there in the Corner,..No Words said,..Just a Big Smile,..My Trainer ''JESUS''...Needs No Words to

Show how a ''Victory'' can be had,..Only if You Listen AND Follow What HE has to Say!...

Matthew-12:31-32...''Therefore I say to you,..every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the

Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven

him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or the

age to come.''

Satan,..the ''CHAMP of CHUMP''...All he wants is for You to ''Cave in''...Drop like a 'Sack of Taters!''...Throw in the 'Towel'

He'll lie to You,..Promise You the World..( of Hurt! )....Riches beyond Your Dreams!...Yes,..thats All it will be, Because

when You ''Wake-Up''..The ''Nightmare'' will just Begin,..in ''HELL!''

Romans-1:25...''They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and created things rather than the Creator.''

We as Believer's in HIS Word,..Must Walk the Walk,..and Not take HIS Word for granted,..Some Talk the Talk,..with

''Two Different Tongues''...Will You be Judged by Your Deeds?..Will You ''Shadow Box'' with the O'L Crafty 'Ringmaster?'

2 Corinthians-5:10...''For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due

him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.''

''Float Like a Butterfly and Sting like a Bee!''...Even ''Rocky'' might say...''Butterfly's over the Sting!''...

Lets end this ''Boxing Match'' on a Better Note!...After All,..We saw the O'L Chump ''Throw in the Towel'' when he was Hit

With ''Faith AND Truth!''

Ephesians-2:8-9...''For by grace You have been Saved through Faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of GOD, not

of works, should anyone boast.''

I'll Close with these ''Parables'' and Remember the ''Ten Count''...Call on GOD,..You Might get Saved by the Bell,.at the Gate!

''We all have happy memories of good men gone to their reward, but the names of wicked men stink after them.''

''Fight the fight with Eternity in view!''

''I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the Faith.''..2 Timothy-4:7...

Sherrie and I Pray in Earnest for All of You,..for Our Warriors in ''Harms Way'' and Our Great Nation''...

We Only Ask that Each of You Turn to GOD for just a ''Second'',..or even for a Minute and Give Thanks,..ask ''JESUS''

to Come Stand in Your Corner,..Teach YOU some of Those ''Boxing'' moves!...

May WE The People, Always be able to say,..''May GOD Bless America''...for it is ''In GOD We Trust''...AMEN!

Pastor Frank..the ''Preacher''...''Rocky I ain't!''...and Sherrie...
