HAPPY SABBATH + Discovering Faith's Real Value!






The Devil Is The Liar!
His Words Are Truth Reversed
And
All Who Follow Him Foolishly
Shall Ride
In Damnation's One-Way-To-Hell Hearse! 

Believers In Jesus
Are
Eternally Blessed
And
Never, Ever, Cursed!

**--**--**--**--**

I Have Made A Discovery!
Faith ... Christ's Daily Gift To Us
Is
The Balm
That We May Apply To Our Day
- According To Our Need -
No Matter What The Devil
That Lying Satan, Says!

Some Of Us May Need Or Require A Little Dab
A Dot, A Dash ... You Know, A Tittle
But
As Is To Be Expected
Of A Life Lived In The Vale Of Tears
A Liberal Application
May Be Required To Successfully Attain Our Goal!

Use Jesus' Gift As You Must 
To Save Your Own Soul!

Call!
Cry!
Pray!
Plead!
Lean On Almighty God's Love
And
Reason With Your Maker
And
On The Living Word Feed
Doing All That He Asks Of You!
Faith Is Living Seed!

The Truth Is Sacred ...

Suggestions Are Not Something
That The Lord Ever Makes
So Do As You Are Instructed
Invited ... Encouraged
Pled With To Willingly Do
And
You Shall Have Sowers Of Blessings
That Ripen You For The Saved-Soul Harvest!
Do Not Do Yourself The Lost-Cause Disservice!

Every Party Comes To An End ...

Do Not Be Left In Outer Darkness
Because
You Followed The Folly Of
The Fulminating Snake
Who Would Love To Strike You In The Heart
With His Fangs As Stakes!

You Know What You've Got ...

Be Not Wise In Your Own Eyes!
With Faith Ever At The Ready
Accessible
Always In The-Love-For-Christ Heart
You Shall Surely Taste Of Spiritual Success
And
The Life You Live
Will Always Be Blessed Of Heaven
But
Not Necessarily Of The Earth
Whereon We're Just Passing Through
So Do Not Upon Temporal Prosperity Dwell
Or You Shall Find Out Too Late That Heaven
- The Haven Of Rest -
Shall Be The Realm ... Barred
Permanently To You!

All Of God's Gifts Are Good ...

Faith Is A Blessing!
Faith Is A Balm!
Faith Is A Blessing Balm In The Hand Of
The Regenerated Child Of God 
Daily Delivered
And
Daily ... Moment By Moment Applied
By The Hand Of The Receiver Only
For The Receiver's Benefit Solely!

All Of God's Gifts Work ...

Firm Faith Fills!
Firm Faith Thrills!
Firm Faith Utilized
Is 
The Only Way 
Old Satan's Venom Against Us 
Can Ever Be Killed!

Warning, Warning, Warning ...

Please Do Not Set Aside Your Gift Of Faith
Because
If You Do
You Shall Old Satam
Inordinately Thrill! 

Use Your Faith
And
Be To Old Satan
An Ever-New, Always-Sharp
Constantly-Performing Buzz-Kill!

Brethren,

Of Your Gift Of Daily Faith
Ravenously Imbibe
And
Be Gloriously Blessed And Filled
And
Let The Lord Christ Over You 
Be Lovingly Thrilled!


There Is No Profit
In Living To Be Carnal!
Give To The Lord Christ
Your Way And Your Will:
The Return On Your Investment
Is
And
Shall Be
Infinite And Eternal!

Memory Hall: Gratitude!




One Day I Made A Visit To That Memory Hall!
He!
She!
It Is Human
Living
Christian
Sighted
Hearing
Walking
Eating
Sleeping
Healthy Happy
Hopeful Hearing
And
A For-Real Ingrate
If I Know What One Is At All!
Behold A Laodicean Spirit!

Eyes To See: He's Blind As A Bat!
Ears To Hear: He's As Deaf As A Door Nail!
He Tastes And He Sees The Goodness Of
The Creator
The Savior
The Redeemer Friend
And, YetHe Finds No Reason
Sees No Need
Has No Desire
Shows No Willingness
To Approach Unto His Provider
Sustainer
Support
His Surety And Security
His Guardian Guide And Stay
And
Joy-Filled
Say:

Oh, Lord
I Bless You!
I Praise You!
To You, I Give Thanks!
My Heart Is Grateful
For The Great Gifts
Some Of Which
- Prior To Their Receipt -
Held In My Eye
No Position
No Rank!


Father,
I Will Not Be An Ingrate!
My Heart
My Head
My Hand
My Home
Are All Daily Blessed Immeasurably
By And Because Of You
And
In The Gallery In My Mind
I Shall Hang Memorials
Of

Your Goodness
Your Greatness
Your Blessings
Your Benefits
Your Gifts Of Loving Care!

You Are The Holy God
And
It Is You That I Fear!

I Appreciate You!
I Love You!
I Bless You!
I Need You More Than I Did Yesterday!
I Desire To Live On The Golden Shore
So That I Will Be Close
The Lord Jesus Christ
Who Did My Sin And Shame
Death And Damnation
Did Bear!


Oh, God Eternal
Mighty To Save
In Gratitude For Your Goodness
Greatness
And
Gifts Of Sacrificial Love
I, By Wisdom
In Faith
For Love
Give Unto You, Myself
And, Thereby
Brand Myself A Willing Slave:
I Serve You With A Heart Of Love!


Lord, You Give!
I Get!
I Gain!
In Gratitude
I Give You All Glory
Honor And Praise!
I Choose To Walk In Your Wise Ways!


Lord,
Help Me To Never Take
Your Blessings Upon Me
As Your Duty
And
My Right
For
Such A Gross Attitude
In The Heart Of Me
Does Nothing But My Soul Blight!

I Desire Your Heart To Delight!

I'm A Sinner, Saved!
I'm A Child Of The King!
I'm A Faithful Servant
And
A Student Awed By Your Majesty
By Your Glorious Self!
Help Me To Not Stifle My Conscience
But
To Remember With Gratitude
- Always -
From Whom My Blessings
My Help
My Certain Aid Comes
So, That
In The Day Appointed
I Shall Walk In Peace
In The Glade Of Joy
In The Home Of The Blessed
Where All Is Love
Joy
Peace And Rest!
I Worship You!
I Know I Am Blessed!


Brethren,

Since It Is A Fact That You Are Human
You Have A Memory Hall!

The Living God Owes You Nothing
But
You Owe The Living God Your Life

Your Prayers

Your Praise!

The Blessings Of God Upon You
And
In Soul-Gratitude
Have The Occasional Service Of Song

To And For
The Living God Holy

Grandly
And
Gloriously Of
His Great Grace!
Take The Time!
Life Is Not A Race!

Remember This ...

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not Fit Attire For
Nor Upon
A True Christian!

Almighty God 
Is 
For You!
Do Not Overlook His Goodness 
By Taking It As Your Right!
You Have No Right To God's Blessings!
They Are A Gift!

Almighty God
By Christ Jesus
Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit
Works ... In Your Behalf 
Every Single Moment Of
Every Single Day

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Bill Of Bad! Gift Of Gladness!



At Self-Serving Shoppe
I Bought Me A Sin!
It Looked So Delicious
I Couldn't Wait To Delve In
BUT
Such Was My Shock
When
After I Had Eaten
AND
Cleaned My Mouth With Much Pride
My Sought After Self-Satisfaction
Was To Me Oh So Grossly Denied!

What Where Had I Done Gone Wrong?
Not A Thing That I Could See!
The Sin That I With Deliberation Purchased
Was Totally All 
It Was Billed To Me To Be
BUT
The Pleasure I Had Going In The Door
Was So Far Removed 
On The Swing Of The Door Coming Back
That I Quailed
As I Wondered 
If I Could Get My Investment Back!

Before I Could Say: "REGRET!"
Unintended Consequence Arrived
To Pick Up Its Pay
AND
I Had Time And Enough
To Recognize
"Disobedience Does Not Pay!"
AND
That All Who Encourage Us
To Walk In Our Own Way
Are Always Amongst The First
To Have Much To Say
When
For The Sin Of Presumption
We Most Decidedly Direly Pay!

Why Did I Do It?
How Do I Now Carry This Cross?
Is There A Life Undo Redo?
How Do I Stop Presumption 
From Letting Sin Be My Slave-Driver Boss?
Lord, How Do I Get Myself
Rid Of This Cumbersome Cross?!

"Take Jesus!"

Whaaat!?! Who Said That?!

"I Did!"

Who Are You?

Your Very Best Friend!

So Why Don't I Know You!
My Life Is So Fouled!
I Need A Way Out ...!

Hope Thou In God!

Why Should I?
He Doesn't Care What I Do!

I Asked Him
To Make Me 
Not Do What I Wanted To Do
AND
He Maliciously Let Me
Get Mess All Over 
My Brand New Church Meeting Dress Shoes!

Is That The Truth?

Well ...

When Are You Going To Stop Tempting God?

Ahmmm ...

How Many More Near Escapes Must You Endure 
Before You Do What You Know To Be The Right Things?

But He ...

No more BUTS!

How Long Are You Going To Keep Running Away From God?

He Should ...

... Make You Stop Running?!

Beloved, You Know The Truth
AND
You Know God Will Not Force You To Do Anything.

You Know You Need Almighty God!

Why Won't You Cooperate With His Will and Be Free?

Set Aside Your Self!
Tell The Father The Truth!
Ask For His Help
For
By Blood He Proved
He Totally Loves You!
He Spirit Is Knocking!
Don't Harden Your Heart!
Let Him In!
He Is Calling!
Let Him Into Your Heart!<>


We Would Not Know Sin
Without The Law!
We Would Have No Sin
Without The Flaw!

We'll Not Pay For Our Own Sin
If We Accept Jesus Christ
Whose Spilt Blood
AND
Nailed Body
Give Us A Hammer And A Saw
To Cut Out Sin
And
Hammer Self 
Into Hell's Wide Open Maw!

*********

Get To Really Know 
The Real Jesus
AND
Give Your Real Burdens 
To
The Real Holy God!

*********

Wanna CALL ... THE LIVING GOD?

PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
TODAY!
and
EVERY DAY!

*********

Don't Step Out
Without
Sending Pray Up
To
Almighty God!

Claim Conditions and Compliance





The Eternal God
Has Claim Upon The Life of Man
For Man Was Revealed 
Living
From The Great Creator's Hand!

Save For A Few Conditions
With Which Man Must Comply
There Is Nothing Burdensome
That Us Living Must Do!


"Keep My Commandments!

They Are Not Burdensome
And 
They Are Just A Few!"


"Love and Trust Me! 
I AM Taking Care Of You!"

"Walk Holy!
I AM Holy!"

"Trust And Obey Me!
I Will Bless You!"

"Call On Me!
I Will Answer You!"

"Come Unto Me!
Give Me Your Burdens!
I Will Give You My Rest!"

"Believe On Me!
I Will Save You!"

"Live For Me!
I Died For You!"

"Stand On My Promises!
My Promises Are True!
My Promises Assuredly Bless 
AND
Keep You!"



In The Day of Your Shame
Confess The Sin
AND
Repent
For Jesus Christ Paid Your Price
AND
You Were Bought 
With The Blood He Spent!

Walk As One Holy!
Your God Is Holy!
Worship Your Living Eternal God!
You Must Worship Him Solely
For Your God IS Jealous
AND
Jealous IS His Name
AND
He Will Not Share His Honor
No Matter Who Makes Other Claims!

Live For The Lord!
Walk With Him
In One Accord!
Keep Your Eye On His Promised Prize
AND
At The Dawning
You Will The Glorious Prize Realize!


Accept The Claim 
of
The Eternal Claimant

who is
Providing An Eternal Home
for
Those Who 
STAKE OUT
Their Own Personal Claim On In Him!

Psst! I Pray To God!


PRAY is:

P utting Earthly
R ealities
A side and
Y ielding to The Holy Spirit's Leading!

I PRAY
Because I Believe In The

P romises
R eserved and Stored in The
A lmighty God's Hand to be
Y ielded Up At The Glorious Awakening!

I PRAY
And
My Heart Feels Full -
Even Though My Pocket is Empty and
My Cupboard is Bare
And
I am Lost under Care
And
I have No Earthly Soul with whom My Burden to Share -
And
By so doing, Life does not Me Scare!

I Believe
That God Can ...!!

God IS No Liar Like Fallen Man
He Says He Will
And
He Can
And
He Does
And
On His Holy Word 
I Stand!

If God is a Liar 
Then
I am Deceived
AND
My Life is a Pyre 
AND
Satan's Lot is Relieved!

BUT ...

I Choose To Believe
On a Faith I Cannot Count
In a Love I Cannot See
But 
Is a Love 
That Works Out
That Lifts Up
That Carries Onward
That Pulls Through
And
Prods Production
That Waits
And
Doesn't Worry
Never Screams
Nor Talks About!

I PRAY 
To The God
That I See Through
The Holy Spirit's Eyes!
I Trust in The God That
The Holy Spirit Knows - No Lies!!

By Faith in What I Cannot See
I Accept The Word of Him who Created Me
And
I Choose to Believe in Him
And
I Expect to Receive from Him
Rather Than to Believe that He Isn't
And 
Find Out - Too Late - That
He Is
And
Could My Sin Have Relieved!

I Ask My God to Help Me 
To Always Accept Truth
No Matter The Messenger
No Matter If It is Tied Pug-Ugly and Loose!
To Always Let Me
Recognize Error, Lies and Deceits
No Matter if The Messenger
Is Wrapped Up in Light and White Robes!
To Let Me Trust The Word of The Word on
The Direction
And
The Path
That Leads to Glorification
At the Trumpet's Last Blast
And
To let Me Walk The Talk
And 
Talk The Walk
In Bright and Glorious Truth
Even if It Causes Me To Be Cut Off
While I'm as Yet a Mere Youth!

I Will PRAY! - By Faith!
I Will Plead for More Grace
AND
I Will Petition for Provision
To Get Me To That Place
Where
By The Love of The Father
I Will See Sweet Jesus' Face!

To Me, To PRAY is to:

P lead
R igorously for the
A bility to
Y ield My Spirit to Yoke with God's!


I Am PRAYING!

What About YOU!?!

Prayer: Your Hand





Oh, Lord
Your Hand of Provision is Ever in My Sight
And I Bless You both Day and Night!
I Thank You for The Grace
That Ever Flows!
I Thank you for The Mercy 
That Never Slows, and
I Thank You for The Hope
Especially when Sorrow Shows!
I Bless Your Holy Name, Lord
For You Know My Beginning and My End, and
I Humbly Offer You My Praise and My Worship!
I Love You, Lord!
Amen.
