VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: AVAILABLE: Grace!





The Grace Of God
Is No Paying Off Of Debt
To Me!
It Is A Gift!
I Am The Object
Of God's Favor
Something
For Which I Can Never Labor!

I - Of Myself
Can't Hold Out My Hand
To The Eternal God
AND SAY:

"Give Me!"

Some Of This
A Bit Of That
A Golden Goose
A Pat On The Back
Nor Life Eternal
Nor Exemption From Life's Trials
Nor Relief From Satan's Vicious Attacks!

God's Grace Upon Me
Means
God's Blessings
I Have To See
For
There Cannot Be One
Without The Other
So
Take No Thought
Of How To Get More
For
Walking Right In God's Light
Opens The Heavenly Store!

"You Shall Receive!"That Is The Promise Of God
AND
Not A Sleight Of Hand
As Would Come Of The Hand Of
King Liar More!

Believe And Receive!
Trust
AND
Do Not Try To Conceive
Of Ways
By Which To "Force"
The Hand Of God!

You Are Not Big Enough
Old Enough
Wise Enough
Nor
Strong Enough!
In Essence
You Don't Have The Stuff
Or You Would Be God Yourself
Not Needing Anything
From The God Of Love
Who Rules
Reigns
AND
Resides
In The Heavenly Abode Above!

Have Faith
In The Holy God
Who Grants Unto Man Favor!
Favor From The God Of All Graces
Requires
A Child Of Faith
To Say Grace
Aka Thanks
AND
Be Thankful
Knowing That There Is More
Much More
To Favor Full Grace
The Body Of Which
In This Realm
We Cannot See
Touch
Nor Taste
Except
With Jesus' Faith!

Jesus Christ On Earth
Grew In The Favor Of God!
Did That Mean
That Christ's Growth
Was An Unmerited Gift?!
It Cannot
For Christ Was God Fully
Man Fully
God-Man
Without Sin!
Jesus Was-Is Himself God
So That Would Be Silly!

It Means
The Fulfillment Of The Promise ...
The Spirit Of God
Is Upon Me (Jesus)!

AND
Without Measure
Again
As Word Of God Says!

The Spirit Of God
Is The Spirit Of Grace!
The Spirit Of Grace
Gives Favor
AND
Gifts Unto Men!

In This Realm?

In This Realm!

God Is In Control ...!

... Even Though It Appears
That God's Favor Falls
On The Employees Of The Fraud!?

Men Who Do Not Understand
The Government Of God
Nor Appreciate The Gifts Of Blessing 
To Men Given
Liken Corporeal Prosperity
To Mean
Bad Man Is Good
Even As His Light Shines Darkly
And In His Mouth
Truth Is Cast Into The Street
Rendering Other's Lives
Bitter
Instead Of Sweet
Because He Has
All Of Life's Sweet Treats!

God's Grace Is Not Money!
But It Could Be!
God's Grace Is Not Fame
Nor Is It Shame! 

God's Grace
God's Spirit
Leads To Life
Whilst In The Mortal Strife
Molding
Cleansing
Teaching
Feeding Leading
Correcting Directing
Chastising
Never Dispising
For God's Grace
Is There
Because Jesus Christ Died
To Save
To Redeem
The Children Of The Fall
To Become His Ransomed
His Redeemed Children
- By I-Choose Choice -
No Coercion At All!

But, Why Can't God's Grace
On Us Be About Earthly Prosperity?!

What Is Prosperity?

Money, Food, Shelter
Clothing, Toys ...!

Did Not Jesus Say
That God Provides
Those Things That Are Needful
Both To The Evil And The Good?! 
That He Knows
What We Need
For Daily Living
Is The Thing That Needs To Be Understood!

The Grace Of God
Passes
Human Understanding!
Sufficed To Know
Man Has Access To Daily Grace
AND
I
We 
Should Ask The Lord
For Grace To Grow
AND
Grace His Will To Know!

I Say Grace - Thanks!
For Meals!
I Plead For Grace
AND
Accept Mercy!
I Pray For The Outpouring
AND
For The Indwelling Spirit Of God
So That In Him
I Am Away From
The Camp Of The Fraud!

G od
R eaches/Relieves/Receives
A nd
C arries/Comforts/Cares For
E veryone!

G od
R estores
A nd
C leans
E veryone Who Asks!

There Is Grace
Because
You Are Man Alive!
There Is Grace For The Believer
Because
He For Heaven Does Strive!
There Is Grace
Because
You To Christ Do Repair!
There Is Grace
Just Because There Is Grace
Just Because God Is God Almighty
Just Because God The Eternal Is Love
AND
The Only God Great
AND
Because He
- Of His Own Will -
Desires
That All Should Come To Repentance
AND
Into His Kingdom
Be Eternally Saved!

The Living God Gave His Son 
To Get Us Grace!
Shouldn't We Be At The Least, Thankful
AND
Thank Him To His Face?!

Man Is A Strange, Strange, Creature!
The God Who Made Him
Gave Him 
The Free Gift Of Life Eternal
Via His Saving Grace
BUT
Before Man Accepts God's Great Grace
Man Looks His Maker
- Boldly -
In His Face
AND
Wants To Know 
Why
How
Who But
If And
Where When
Then
Before He Will Say:

"Thank You, Lord!
Bless You, Father!
I Accept The Gift!
Let Me Shake (Hold)
Your Holy Hand!"

Man Needs To Step Back
And Take Off His Big, Big Head
And Humble Himself
Before The Eternal God!

Men Hate God
BUT
Want God's Rewards
BUT
They Refuse The Good Stuff
- The Spirit Of Grace -
AND, INSTEADTake The Perishable Goods
Exchanging The Blessing
For A 
Bauble
Because
They Do Not Want To Be Disciplined
Nor Led
Nor Fed
At 
In
The School Of The Holy God
Who Did Them
Their Lives Give!

Grace Mercy
Faith Trust
Hope For Salvation
Infinite Love!
Jesus Is The Captain
The Boat
The Sea
The Life Preserver
The Food Source
The Source Of Life
For Me And For Thee!

Got To Go!
Let's Talk Later!
It's Time For School!
My Teacher Is Christ Jesus
AND
He Provides Heavenly Thoughts 
For Sweet Food!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Sheltered!







Lord,
Help Me To Keep Shelter
For The Holy Spirit
In My Heart
Even As I Am Sheltered
Under The Umbrella Of Your Everlasting Arms!

Lord, I Know And Am Glad
That I Am Sheltered
Under Wings
Of Him Whom I Cannot See
And
I Am Happy Following Him
Who Carries Me Lovingly!

Lord, I Am Thankful
That I Answered Your Call To Salvation
And
To Know That I Can Confidently Walk Into The Unknown
Because I Am Protected By Your Holy Angels
Whose Names I Can Not Nor Need To Know!

Lord, I Feel Truly Blessed
To Know That Through The Comfort
And Direction And Leading Of The Holy Spirit
That I Am Walking Toward A City
Not Build With Human Hands
And For Which There Is No Map
That Man's GPS Can The Direction Show!

Lord, I Am Happy With You
The Very God Who
Blesses And Keeps Me
Day After Day!
The Illuminated World Laughs At Me
When I Speak Of You Whom I Can Not See
But Praise Jesus
I Am Not Swayed!

Father, I Love You
And By Your Grace
And With Your Always Available Mercy
I Am - And Shall Continue - Singing Joyfully
As To The Holy City
I Confidently Go
Trusting In The Eternal Promise
For I Am Blessed And Lovingly Sheltered
In Your Everlasting Arms!

Thank You, Lord
For The Grace
For The Daily Provisions
And The Blessings Of Peace And Rest
Hope
Help
And Healing!
AMEN

PRAYER: Father, You Are Not Keeping To The Agreement!?!





Father, we have an Agreement, and
It is not working, and I am not happy!
You are supposed to wink at my foolishness!
Yesterday You didn't and now 
I feel hurt and sad
And angry and dismayed
And foolish and fearful!
What am I doing, or did
That was, or is, sooo wrong?!
Why is this happening to me!
Why meee!?!






"Beloved, I Love You and Will Always Care for You 
Even when You are Disobedient and Self-willed.
But #LivingLifeOnYourOwnTermsHasConsequences.

In My Holy Word, it states that in times of Man's Ignorance -
OF WHO I AM - God winks!

But that ignorance is when You Do Not Know Right From Wrong, Truth From Error, are Lacking Knowledge, and are Fallen In (not into) Idolatry.

Beloved, You know better, and You should have Prayed and Asked for Help to help You do and be better than your Situation. You did not.

I heard You say in Your Heart that You Did Not Care What Was Said
Or Done, that You were going to Have Your Own Way.

You did, and, hence, Your Sadness and Fear now.

My Child, Because of Love, I Will Not Permit You 
To Indulge in the Sin of Presumption and then say
"Thank God, I'm a Christian!"

Your saying You are a Christian does not give You an ESCAPE FREE card.
Assuredly, it will Guarantee You Punishment.

My Judgment begins in My House, and I Love You too much
To let You live a Slack and Reprobate Life.

You Daily give Me Your Will, and You Beseech Me 
To Guide Your Way and, so
You have My Response
For You Acted with Malice and
You Deliberately Chose Disobedience Over Deprivation
Of what could not, and, assuredly, did not 
Your Heart satisfy.

You say I am Your Father.
You say You Trust Me.
You say You will Obey My Commands and Follow My Ways
But You Honor Me in Your Words and not in Your Actions.

I accepted Your Request to Lead You to Green Pastures and
To Restore Your Soul.

Well, as Human, You know of and have seen Restoration Work in action.
It is messy, noisy, and painful and expensive, but The End thereof is Beauty Over Total Destruction.

So, Dear Child, is The Way of Your Restoration.

It is going to be Messy - to get rid of the Rot and the Rust and the Corrosion that is now Manifest in Your Character.

It is going to be Noisy - for You are going to cry because of the Tearing Down of Strongholds.

It is Painful - when the Waste of the Past and Current Bad Behaviors are being removed.

It is Expensive - because You have to Pay the Costs for Restoring the Old Bad to New Good, and

You will feel Bereft of the Familiar, and Naked without Old Bad Comforts.

I Am Holy.
You must be Holy, too.

You must Remember My Charge:

#ObedienceIsBetterThanSacrifice

and

Disobedience is as the Sin of Witchcraft

and 

I will not share My Glory with idols who have eyes and see not
Who have ears and hear not
Who have hands and feet, and accomplish nothing.

I Provide for Your ... Needs
I Protect You from ... Harm
I Guard Your ... Abode
I Guide Your ... Footsteps
I Teach You ... My Way
I Chide You ... for Your Willfulness
I Chastise You ... for Your Back-slidings
I Comfort You ... in Sorrow and Distress
I Love ... You ... with An Everlasting Love
I Abide ... in You
I Hide You ... in the Shelter of My Wings
I Help You ... to Reach Home
I Heal ... You ... in Your Hurts and in Your Heart ... to Your Very Soul
I Hold You ... Marked ... in My Body

I Will Never Leave You ... nor Forsake You.

I, however, will not Permit You to Go Astray while You are Humbling Yourself Before Me in Godly and Saintly Fear.

I will not Force You to Obey - You have Will.

I will not Force My Way Upon You You have Choice.

I will Encourage You, and Keep You by My Holy Spirit
As Long as You Desire Me to be Your Father, Your Lord, Your God, Your Savior, Your Comfort, Your Redeemer, Your Commander, and Your Friend.

My Child, Seek My Will for Your Life in Whatever You do, and
Do Not Follow the Mixed Multitudes - therein is Corruption, and Death.

Walk Upright!
Do Right!
Live Right!
Stay in My Light and
Receive My #GarmentOfRighteousness - I will not accept yours.

Despite Your Setbacks 

You will, again, know Joy Now, and Then
Joy Everlasting in the Day To Come
If You Stay The Course, and 
Let My Light Guide You Safely Home.

My Child, I Have Not Forsaken You.
Had I done so, Feelings of Sadness would be
The Least of Your Problems.

You Are My Child, Greatly Beloved -
Walk On in The Son."


Father, I'm Sorry!
Please Forgive Me!
Help Me to Do Better Today...
I Love You.
Amen.

HAPPY SABBATH + ID10T







I prefer to live my life as an “Idiot"
Believing faithfully that Jesus Christ is real
Than to live the life of an uppity head-man
And find out that Zion’s Ship has set sail!

I prefer to believe that there is God Almighty
Reigning supreme in Heaven on high
Than to believe that God is behind my dark glasses
Then to hear: “Heaven’s coming! Today we fly!”

I will live my life in the Faith of Christ Jesus
No matter which direction the winds blow
For if He doesn’t exist - I lose nothing
But, if He does - bless God - to Heaven I go!
