VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Thoughts From My Mount Of Blessing!

 

Brethren, 

I Desire For Us All To Think On This Thing: 

The Lord Jesus Desires Us To Rise Up! 

To Do This, He Has Given Us The Elevator And The Electricity To Make That Elevator Go ...! 

Our Job Is To Believe On The Lord, And Trust Him At His Word! 

Our Elevator Is Not Placed In The Back Of Beyond, But Is Securely Fixed And Is The Show-Piece Of The Household Of Faith! 

That Elevator Will Never, Ever, Malfunction And Free-Fall With The Ability To "Done You!" 

As For You, You Are Constructed From The Dust Of The Earth And Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made By The Great God Who Does Not Make Mistakes: 

He Breathed Into Your Nostrils

The Breath Of Life From Himself

And

You Became A Living Soul Imbued With Free Will

And

Freedom To Choose

The Life You Desire For Yourself! 

This Great God, Who Alone Is Wise, Gave Unto Us The Blue-Print For Life: It Contains The Only Paths Of Life For Living!

Those Paths As He Delineated Them Are The Way Of Blessing Walking To Him And The Way Of Cursing Walking Away From Him: Whichever Path You Choose, You Will Never Be Able To Say That The Eternal God, Finite Man, Nor The Damned Devil Made Your Decision For You! 

Please Ever Bear In Your Mind The Fact That With Every Day That Your Eyes Are Open, You Receive A Deposit Of Electricity, An Infusion Of Faith For That Day Alone, To Operate That Elevator, Your Elevator, That None But You May Cause To Function! 

You Are The Blessed Recipient Of Strength For Your Day And Courage For The Way That You Walk In The Great Creator's Will!

Your Assignment, If You Choose To Take It, Is To Press That Elevator Button Which Is Always In Your Line Of Sight!

Your Ability To Press That "Go On Up!" That "Let Me Rise!" Button Hinges On Your Utilization Of The Prayer Of Faith!

The Great God, The Creator-God, The Kind King Who Is The King Of Love, Gives You Everything That You Need To Trust Him To Do All That He Says That He Will Do: He Is Not A Liar But You Are, Being Human, A Man, As The Word Says: Let God Be True And Every Man A Liar! 

I Ask Us All This Question: Will You Trust In Our Great God And Use His Gift To You To Believe In Him, To Press Your Personalized Button, To Lift Yourself Up ... In, Through, And By Him!?!

You Can Will Yourself To Do Of His Good Pleasure: All Of His Gifts Are Good And Perfect And Contain No Sorrow!

There Is A Caution On Your Elevator: Do Not Look At What Others Do, What They Have, Where They Go, And Those With Whom They Associate!

Be They Sinner Or Saint, Every Person's Elevator, Used Or Ignored, Is Unique To That Person: Keep Your Eyes On The Great God, The Great Physician, The Prince Of Your Peace!

You Will Have Tribulations: Be Of Good Courage For He Has Overcome The World, And You Can Do Likewise Through Him Who Loves You Personally, Intimately, With The Everlasting Love Which Will Not Let You Go!

Believe And Live!

Your Maker, Your God, Your King, Bids You "Peace!" 

Brethren, 

We Do Not Need Fingers Or Noses To Operate, To Elevate, Our Elevator: Pray ... Without Ceasing!

Listen To The Lord And Live! 

Hear The Word And Do What It Says: The New City, The New Jerusalem, Is Over The Next Rise! 

Keep Walking Straight, On Strait Street, And On The Appointed Day, You Will Walk Straight In Through The Pearl Gate Signifying The Character Flaw That You By Grace, Through Faith, Overcame! 

Please Press The Blessed Button! 

I Pray To See You And You See Me When We Safely Arrive At Our Forever Home! 

Dear Lord, 

Grant Grace! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Building What!?!

I Didn't Believe You'd Do It, But You Really, Really, Did It! You've Built Yourself A Life Of Luxury On A Foundation Of Freedom To Choose With The Bricks Of Sin! 

And You've Got The Latest Windows Of Transgression! And I Can't Help But See That That Ornate Door You Purchased Is The Most Expensive One From Darke Lorde's Best-Selling Line! And That Roof Is Unmistakable For Being From His Gaudy Pride And Presumption Line! 

Now Tell Me, Uhgottit, What Could Possibly Go Wrong!?! 

Wrong, Schmong! This Is The Life For Me! 

Uhgottit, I Hope You Know That Sweet Life Don't-Can't Surely-Won't Last! 

Phliright, My Friend, This Life Doesn't Last So If Sweet Life Doesn't Last, It Ain't No Biggie! 

Wow, Uhgottit, Just Wow! Don't You Believe That There's A Judgment Coming ... And A Better Life!?! 

Look, Phliright, I Don't Have A Tomorrow Put Down! I Have A Today And A Now, Not A Someday Compliments Of A Judge! 

Man-Judges Are Corrupt, So Your Unseen Judge May Be, Could Be, Is Very Likely, Is Indeed Corrupt, Too! 

I Pity You, Uhgottit! Your Mum And Your Grand-'other Taught You The Way To Eternal Life Which Comes Through The Savior Who Is The Judge Of All Flesh, So Why Would You Choose Darke Lorde's Luscious Life Of Lawlessness As Your Hill To Die On!?! 

It's Simple, Phliright! It's Available, And It's Convenient, And I Like It! 

Ahhh, The ACL! You Do Know That In Full-Contact Sports That An Untreated Torn ACL Could End Your Days In The Game!?! 

Whatever! Live Fast, Play Hard, Take Your Lumps, Game Over: I'll Have Enjoyed The Ride While It Lasted So Who Cares!?! 

So Said The Man Who Watched The Death And Burial Of His Dreams While Singing "I Did It My Way!" While Crying And Asking "Why Me!?!" 

Phliright, You Tire Me! Please Go And Preach Your Bilge-Water To Someone Who Gives A ...!  

... Uh, Uh, Uhgottit! 

Okay, Someone Who Wants An Every Moment Of Life Traffic Director! 

Sounds Good To Me! 

Sounds Like Hell To Me, Phliright! That's Where You'll End Up If You Don't Get Rid Of This Glass House Abomination Resplendently Standing On Quick-Sand! 

Phliright, Please Make Your Presence Absent From My Domiciliary Edifice And Don't Ever Darken My Door Again! And If You See Me On The Street, Resist The Urge To Be A Samaritan! You Are Dead To Me! 

That's Alright, Uhgottit, But You Can't Stop Me From Praying For You! 

Don't Waste Your Time Praying For Me, Phliright! Pray For Yourself! 

I Will Use My Time Doing What The Lord Commands, Uhgottit! I Will Bombard Heaven For You Until The Lord Tells Me "Leave Uhgottit Alone With His Idols!" 

Suit Yourself! 

NARRATOR: 

Well, Brethren, Many People Prayed Unstintingly For Uhgottit! His Mum Passed On Pleading At The Throne Of Grace For Uhgottit To No Apparent Avail But There Was Good News For His Grand'other! 

One Day, Exactly Seven Years, Nine Months And Twenty-Six Days After Their Acrimonious Encounter, Phliright Was On High Street When He Heard A Familiar Voice Calling Him Bro. Phliright In An Unfamiliar Familiar Knowing Tone! 

And, Lo And Behold, There In The Flesh Was Uhgottit Looking ... Healthy, Humble And ... Held-Up! 

To Hear Phliright Tell It, Uhgottit Said He Had Real Fun Times Before He Went Through The Horn-Pipe Before A Miraculous Carve-Out Appeared And Ejected Him Just As He Was About To Make Hell-Self His Future House! 

He Said That He Had Been Tired Of The Life But Was Just Going Through The Motions Even As He Kept Hearing The Words: "Come Unto Me And Rest!" 

He Said That He Who Had Never Found A Feeling He Didn't Enjoy Suddenly Couldn't Shake The Feeling That He Was Between Times, Between Doors, At A Cross-Roads, At A Point Of No Return, And It Shook Him To His Core! 

He Remembered Phliright's Promise To Pray For Him No Matter What, And His Mum And His Grand'other Teaching Him The Good Way And Praying Over Him, And It Broke Him! 

He Remembered His Mum's Last Words To Him: "Uhgottit, My Favorite Only Child, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got The Lord Jesus! Please Choose Jesus And Walk Right In The Light Of Life! Fun Fades But Jesus Lasts Forever! I'll See You In The Kingdom!" 

His Mum Plainly Told Him That She Would See Him In The Kingdom Without A Doubt! 

Uhgottit Said He Fought The Lord Like He Owed Him Money But The Lord Overcame Him And, In Humility, Accepting Truth, Glad For The Numerous Prayers For His Salvation Over The Years, He Surrendered To Our Savior With No Regrets! 

Is God Great!?! 

Yes, He Is! Hallelujah!!! 

Sin Didn't Win! Thank You, Jesus! 

Heaven's Gate Will Open And Uhgottit Will, By Right, Walk In! 

The Lord Be Ever Praised!!! 

AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Problumps!?!

 

Yes, Dingus, I Said Problumps! 

But What Is It And What Does It Mean, Lorimer!?! 

It Simply Means, Dingus, That If You Do Not Fix Your Problem Early, Then You Will Have To Take Your Lumps, Hence Problumps! 

Oh, Lorimer, We All Know About Them Problumps As You Call Them! I Even Got One Yesterday Once Removed! 

Come On, Dingus! Couldn't You Just Say Two Days Ago!?! 

I Could Not Say That, Marcy, Because I Did Not Want To Dignify That Stretch Of Time By Calling It A Day! 

Just Ignore Him, Marcy! He's Having Himself A Moment! 

Bowman, My Friend, I Can't Ignore Him Because He Is Forgetting One Itty Bitty Thing From The Scripture Of Truth! 

And What Would That Be, Marcy!?! 

The Day That He Is Despising, Bowman, Is The Day That The Lord Of Glory Gave Him To Rejoice Over, To Get His Wrong Things Right, To Carry His Problems Aka His Perplexities And Anxieties To The Throne Of Grace So That He Would Not Have To Bear His Problems Alone And End Up Getting A Few Lumps In His Feelings, And On His Hard Noggin, Because He Is Not Grateful To Have His Life! 

Oh, Dear Dingus, Marcy Has Got You There And With Bible Proof! 

No, She Does Not, Bowman! She Only Gave One Proof! She Must Have At Least Two Witnesses For A Matter To Be Established! 

Dingus, I Believe That I Am Able To Help You With That Second Proof! 

Okay, Bowman, Prove On! 

Dear Deluded Dingus, Did You By Any Chance Have A Meal Or Three Yesterday Once Removed!?! 

Of Course, I Did, And I Had Two Snacks Besides! It Was A Wonderful Day! 

Dingus, Don't You Know That You Shouldn't Eat Between Meals!?! 

No, I Do Not, Bowman! I Eat Between Teeth! 

Big Whoo Who, Dingus! Let's Stick To The Matter At Hand, And Let Me Remind You That You Didn't Want To Dignify That Space Of Time By Calling It A Day Even Though You Were Blessed With Three Meals Plus Snacks! 

My Bad, Bowman! 

Now, Dingus, What Is The "Give" Asked Of The Father In The Lord's Prayer!?! 

That's Easy, Bowman! That's Matthew 6 Verse 11: "Give Us This Day Our ... Daily Bread ... !" 

Close Your Mouth, Dingus! You Look Like A Guppy! How Are You Feeling Now!?! 

I, Uh, Ahh ...! 

I Thought So! You Despised The Day That The Lord Gave You, And You Said Your Prayers Asking For Your Daily Gift Of Food, Which You Received, Plus Extras, And You Didn't Have The Decency To Bless The Lord For Another Day Of Life! 

You Should Give The Lord Thanks For That Day Because We Could Have Been Singing "The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended!" Over Your Head ... Not That You Would Have Known The Difference! 

I Am So Very Sorry, Lorimer, Marcy, Bowman, For My Base, My Ungrateful, My Unthankful Attitude! I Asked For Proofs, And I Surely Received Them! Thank You All For Caring About Me: I Have Been Rebuked! 

Heavenly Father, Please Forgive Me For Not Giving You Heartfelt Thanks And Praise In Jesus Christ's Holy Name For Your Manifold Blessings Daily Showered Upon Me! AMEN!!!

 Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Stick To The Lord!

Commune Is A Place! 

Communion Is A Sacrament! 

Communicate Is A Conversation! 

Communication Is A Transfer Of Information By Any Means! 

Yet, We Commune With The Lord, Our God, In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Righteous, By Our Prayers And Praises! 

We Remember The Lord Jesus By Celebrating The Last Supper, Having A Communion Service Which Is Also Called The Ordinance Of Humility Aka Foot-Washing, And Breaking Of Unleavened Bread And Drinking Of Grape Juice! 

We Communicate With The Lord By The Reading Of The Preserved Word Of God, The King James Bible, The Lord's Love Letter To The Purchased Possession, His People, And Also With Our Prayers And By Our Praise AND The Giving Of Heartfelt Thanks! 

Our Communication With Our Lord Jesus Is Truly Two-Way Because We Not Only Have An Open Invitation To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy And Grace To Help Us In Our Time Of Need, But The Invitation, Another Open Invitation, Is Issued To Us To Come And Reason With The King Of Glory! 

Brethren, We Do Not Have To Imagine And Hope, We Need To Accept And Dare To Act Upon Our Heaven-Granted Access To The I AM, The Creator Of All Things Visible And Invisible, Seen And Unseen, Who Condescends Aka Lowers Himself Aka Came Down To Our Level To Make Himself Known, Knowable! 

Dear Ones, Greatly Beloved Of The Infinite, Let Us Not Sell Ourselves Short By Buying Into The Sophistries, The Decorated Untruths Of The Father Of Lies, Satan, The Devil, The Roaring Lion, The Piercing Serpent, Beelzebub, The Lord Of Dung! 

Dung Is Waste Matter! 

The Roar Of That Lion Which Would Make You Pee Yourself, Is Coming From A Serpent Who Goes For Your Extremities! With Your Heart Guarded, Filled With The Love Of Almighty God And The Word Of Truth, You Can Rest Assured Of Christ's Free To You Salvation When You Realize, Recognize, That That Piercing Serpent's Venom Is Beelzebub's, The Lord Of Dung, Dung: It Has No Power Over The Lord's People Who Follow Him Wherever He Goes! 

Brethren, Stick To The Lord Jesus Who Stuck To The Cross For The Love Of You! 

The Lord Jesus, The Great I AM, IS, But Satan Is A Shape Shifter! 

Character Matters! 

Remember, Beloved, Nothing Can Separate You From The Love Of Jesus Because, Hell Or Heaven, Wherever You Are, He Is! 

In Sickness Or Health, In Little Or Much, Before The Kingly Powers Or The Ratchets Rising Aka Those With No Morals Who Take No Responsibility For Their Destructive Ways, Your Beliefs Aka Your Stance For Jesus, Your Standing In Jesus, Will Save Your Soul! 

Satan Is A Defeated Foe! 

Please Give Your All For The Lord Jesus Who Gave His All, His Life, For You! 

Dare To Resist Unto Blood Under The Blood-Stained Banner Of Prince Immanuel, The Prince Of Peace, Our Very Own Jesus Christ, The King Of Glory! 

Think Of Hearing His Voice Uttering The "Welcome Home, Children!" 

Again: Satan Is A Defeated Foe! 

Be At Peace With Almighty God: Pray, Read The Word, Give Praise, Give Thanks, Pray The Promises Of God! 

Walk Humbly Before Our God! 

Look Up: Our King Is Coming! 

Jehovah Shalom! The Lord Is Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Whence Comes Your Fear, Your Hope!?!

Fear And Hope, By Virtue Of Their Cause Of Generation, Inherently Have Absolute Power Over One's Thoughts, Words, And Actions! 

Under Which Circumstance Would This Be A Good Thing!?! How About A Bad Thing!?! 

Here's Your Scenario: A Story Is Being Spread That Has Its Basis In Biblical Juris Prudence! Those Who Stand With The Brave In The Faith That Cannot Fail Are Passing The Word Along! Multitudes, Convicted And Convinced, Are Joining With Them! Those Who Are Taking The Adversarial Role Fear That The Word As Given Is True And Hope That It Is Not, And Rabidly Seek To Suppress And Scrub The Good And Saving Word From Existence, And Destroy The Character And Standing Of The Believers! Jesus Christ Is Coming Again ... And Soon! Seek The Truth, And Speak ...! 

Will It Be For The Life-Giver Or For The Liar!?! 

Yes, Reenie!?! 

I Fear God ... After The Godly Sort, In Awe At His Majesty, And I Give Glory To Him! I Hope, By Faith, To See My Lord Jesus In Perfect Peace So I Choose, Of My Free Will, To Practice What His Preserved, Perfect Word Teaches So That I May Wear His Robe Of Righteousness ... Right Living, Doing, Saying, Thinking, Being, Believing! 

Nicely Said, Reenie! 

Yes, Breezy!?!

Fear, Schmeer! Hope, Rope! Look, Look Off, Live! Fear Traps, And Hope Hangs! I Have No Use For Either Or Neither! That's A Rather Blasé Attitude To Have As A Christian, Breezy! 

Who Said That I Was A Christian, Candy Kane!?! 

The Room Went Silent! 

Loyal Mann Was The First To Recover! 

Breezy ... If You Are Not A Christian, Or Trying To Become A Christian, Why Are You Constantly Here Amongst The Lord's Faithful, Being So Helpful, And Contributing So Generously To All The Programs We Sponsor In Our Community And In The Church Family!?! 

Well, Foolish Mann ... 

The Brethren Gasped ... 

Since You Are Bold And Asking Plainly, I Am Here To Do A Yoeman's Service! 

I Watch You To Obstruct You! I Learn From You To Spurn You! I Feed Off You To Fan Fury Against You, And I Commiserate With You To Eventually Help To Obliterate You And Obfuscate Your Work! 

I Feed Your Fears And Choke Your Hope! I Down Your Ups And Up Your Downs! 

You Know, You All Are Not Very Smart! 

You Open Your Hand And Your Heart To Any And Everybody! 

You Forget That Your Biggest Enemy Is The Enemy Within! 

You Believe That Anybody Can Be Saved By Your Jesus! 

You Fail To Accept That Not Everybody Desires, Even Cares About Wanting To Or Being Saved! 

I'll Answer The Question About Fear And Hope ... Again! 

My Kind Does Not Want Your Brand Of Hope Spreading So We Choose To Use Our Kind Of Fear, The Fear Of Being Outside Of The Majority, Being Contrary To Consensus, To Taint Your Talent Pool That Is Awaiting Their Call Up To Duty! 

I'll Give You A Freebee As I Exit! 

We Fear The Freedom Of Your Expected Future So We Choose To Poison The Peace From The Prince Of Your Present! 

The Prayer Meeting Took On A Whole New Meaning After He Left! 

Lord Jesus, Have Mercy Upon Us Even As We Trust In You! AMEN!!! 

Brethren, We Have Been Roughly Warned! Let's Beseech Our Loving Lord For Discernment, Wisdom, Understanding, Obedience, And, Lord, Help Us ... Time And Again ... Faithful Endurance! Help Us Always To Pray And Not Faint! Help Us To Keep Our Eyes And Hearts Focused And Fixed Upon You! Keep Us In The Holy Way, And Never Turning Aside To Fads And Fables! 

Help Us To Stay Committed ... Carry Us, Lord, And Keep Us Sheltered, Protected, Under The Covert Of Your Wings, Is Our Hearts' Plea! Help Us To Keep Hope Alive And Not To Fear The Battle! AMEN!!! 

Brethren, The Devil Is The Liar, And Jesus Christ Is The Truth For Today And Our Light To Banish The Darkness Of Error And Death, And Our Only Way To The Eternal Life! 

Let's Not Be Distracted! Let's Make Sure To Keep Seekers For Truth Impacted By Our Good Works For The Eternal God So That They May Glorify Him Who Reigns In Heaven! The Truth Sets The Sinner Free! Fear Him Who Can Destroy You Body And Soul In Hell! Hear, Hear!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Set Your Faces Like Flint, Like An Adamant Stone, Against The Enemy Of Souls! 

By God's Love, We Will!! 

AMEN!!! 

The Lord's Our Battle Ax ...! 

... And He's Never Dull! 

Hallelujah, Jesus!!! 

Jesus Is Our Peace! 

AMEN!!! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Know What I Want, No, Uh, Need!?!

 

I Know What I Want, But I Need What The Lord Jesus Has For Me! Which Desire Shall Win The Lord Already Knows, But I Need To Find Out And Designate It! Lord, Help!

Come On, Saira, You Know Right From Wrong, Truth From Error, Need From Want, AND, Most Importantly, You Well Know That Any Gift Given To You From Our Lord Jesus Is Best And Blessed, No Sorrow To Follow!

That Is True, Gabby, But I ...!

... Stop Right There, Saira! There Is No "But" When It Comes To Our Trusting The Lord For And In All That Concerns Us And Our Well-Being!

I Know, Gabby, But ...! 

... There You Go Again Butting! Are You A Goat Of The Hard-Head Persuasion!?!

No, Gabby, It Is Just That ...! 

... Father, Preserve Us! 

Saira, Pick One: Apple, Orange, Or Banana!

Do You Have Granny Smith, MacIntosh, Or Red Delicious Apples!?!

They Are MacIntosh Apples!

Are The Oranges Blood, Juice, Bitter, Or Navel!?!

Are You For Real!?!

Yes, I Am! I Have Standards, You Know!

Okay, They Are Navel Oranges! 

Are The Bananas Lady Finger, Apple Banana, Or Big Mike Bananas!?!

They Are Apple Bananas!

I Do Not Like Any Of Those Choices So I Can't Make A Decision! 

Lord, Save Us! 

Brethren, This ... This Is A Classic Example Which Demonstrates Why Most Of Us Will Never Get To Enter The Land Where We Won't Cast Shadows! 

Would You Like To Explain That Remark, Gabby!

Gladly, Saira! 

The Lord Jesus, Our Very Creator, The Life Giver, Offers And Makes Available, And Easily Accessible, Free-To-All Salvation, And Most Of Us, Like Our Saira, For Example, Instead Of Accepting The Gift Without Price Or Equal From The Only Wise God, Proceed To Have "Standards" And Offer The Lord Their "Specifications" While Failing Or Neglecting To Realize ...! 

... You Mean Pridefully Fronting With Nothing, Gabby!

I Was Trying To Be Delicate, Delia! 

Well, You Failed! 

Okay, Moving On Smartly! 

We Fall Short Of The Lord's Glory, Have Nothing To Offer To Save Ourselves, And, Yet, We Have Demands, Non-Negotiables, And Red Lines For The Lord ... He Who Gives The Breath Of Life! Would Somebody Make This Make Sense!?!

You're Asking For The Impossible, Gabby! 

Do You Have Anything To Say Besides "Sorry, Lord!" Saira!?! 

Hearing How You've  Laid It Out, Gabby, Makes Me Sound And Feel Like A Real Ingrate!

We All Need To Accept That Charge, Saira, Because That Is Exactly How We All Behave, Or Have Behaved, Before We Acknowledged Our Bankrupt Behavior And Confessed Our Sin With A Heartfelt Repentance To Our Father In The Name Of His Son, Our Savior, Jesus! Scripture Speaks Truly About Us!

How So, Sue!?!

It Asks, "What Can A Man Pay To Redeem His Soul!?!" 

You Know That It Takes A Truly Weighty Pair Of Brasses To Tell The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh, The Creator, That His Gift Has Gaps, And That His Glory Ain't All That! 

Lord, Forgive Our Foolishness Even As You, In Mercy, Remember Our Frame!

 AMEN!!!

Whatever The Lord Has For Us Is Perfectly Perfect! 

That's Not True, Trent! 

What Do You Mean, Manny!?! 

Perfectly Perfect Suggests The Possibility That lt Could Have Been Perfectly Imperfect: Both Are Made-Man Constructs! 

Let Us Use The Lord's Words To Us About His Gifts For Us! Almighty God's Gifts To Us Are Good And ... Perfect ... No Qualification! 

Gabby!?! 

Yes, Saira!?! 

I Will Take An Apple, A Banana, And An Orange! 

Greedy, Much!?! 

The Lord Giveth Grandly And I Accepteth Gladly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace, People! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mimicking Or Mirroring The Master!?!

 

Be Like Jesus! Love One Another! When The Character Of Christ Is Perfected In Us, Jesus Will Come To Claim Us Who Are His Own! 

Does That Mean That We Will Look Like Jesus Or Act Like Jesus Or Both!?! How Can I Know!?! 

Are We To Mimick The Lord!?! Anybody Got A Mirror! 

Funny You Mention Mimick AND Mirror, Macy-May! 

Ain't Nothing Funny About That, Gracy-Faye! Whenever, Wherever There Is Anything Spoken Or Done Or To Be Done For Or In The Name Of Our Jesus, It Is Guaranteed That There Will Be Mimics And Mirrors On The Back-Hand Side Because Of That Side-Winder, Satan The Damned! 

True That! Our Jesus Is Perfect, And He Says, "Be Ye Perfect Even As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect!" 

And What Do We Often See On Show!?! 

Yes, Dingus!?! 

That's An Easy Answer, Macy-May! We See Parodies Parading Prominently! We See Mincing Mimicks And ...! 

... We See Mirror Madness! 

What's This Mirror Madness, Milo!?! Ahhh, Mirror Madness! That, My Friends, Is One Of Beelzebub's Baleful Bests ... With A Branch! 

Do Share, Mon Frere! 

When We View The Lord, What We See Is What We Receive! When We Faithfully Follow The Lamb, There Ain't No Goat Parts Passing, People! 

Very True! 

So What If I Tell You That Beelzebub The Bold And Brazen Displays A True Mirror Of Our Beautiful Savior On A Branch Of A Goodly Tree!!?! 

Just As You Reach The Branch Of A Tree Before You May Touch The Tree, The Source Of Its Life, We See Satan's "Good" Mirror On The Extended Branch Of His Goodly Tree, And We Stand Still, Looking Real Fine, And Preen, Pose, And Present Our Position When, Suddenly, The Branch Is The Tree And The Tree Is The Mirror Is Become A House Of Mirrors ... Circus Mirrors! 

Merciful Powers! 

Good Call, Calley! 

I Remember Those Circus Mirrors From My Ill-Spent Youth! Those Things Would Give A Person Nightmares After Making You Want To Upchuck Your Fairground Eats! 

That Sounds Positively Vile ... Evil! 

There! You Said It, Cravitz! Bait And Switch! Exchange Gold To Get Pyrite! Throw Away Beauty And Glow-Up With ... Ashes!?! 

Brethren, This Is Where The Rubber Meets The Road! In The Compromise With Sin, The Caricature Becomes The Keeper, The Kept, And, Ultimately, When Christ Comes, The Cast Off, The Cast Out! 

Wow! Do I Hear Upcoming Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth!?! 

You Better Believe It! Jesus Is Right, Light, Pure, Perfect, No Derivatives, No Shadows, No Mirrors! 

We Are Not To Be Merchandise, To Be Manipulated, Packaged, Branded, Sold Out! 

We Are Bought With A Price Not Known To Be Silver Or Gold! 

We Walk In Light, In Love, By Faith, Through Grace, In Truth! 

Brethren, Those Are Real, Bold, Plain Statements Of Fact, No Wavering, No Waffling, No Buffering, No Sick-Inducing Parodies! Jesus Saves Souls From Sin! 

These Parodies, These Mimicks, Encourage People To, With Comfort, Play In And With Sin ...  To Conform To The Classes Of This World ... And Not To Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Their Minds Through Christ Who Strengthens Them! 

Do You Know What's The Difference Between The Mirror Of The Word Of God And Satan's Circus Mirror!?! 

Yes, Calley! 

The Mirror Of The Lord's Word Will Only Show You What's Wrong Whilst Satan's Shining Sifter Shimmeringly Shifts Us Through The Stages Of The Changes Of A Life That Blasts Us And Benefits Him! 

Wow, Calley! Color Me Surprised! Not! He's The Father Of Lies, Ain't He!?! 

Look, Let's Just Settle This! Give Me Jesus Because With Him, I'll Rise!

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Constant Effort Must Be Put Forth If We Are To Stay True To Truth In The Light Of Life! 

As We Started, Let Us End: Be Like Jesus! Let It Be Your Song ... Your Reasonable Service! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
