VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer Of Faith

 








PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord
For Your Grace That Is Sufficient
Your Mercy Ever Free
And That
The Fact Remains That
The Prayer Of Faith Will Always Reach Thee! 

Please Help Us To Ever Remember That 
The Devil Is The Liar
And
His Words Are Truth Reversed
And That 
His Mission Is To Have Us Continue To Live
Under The Wretched Conditions That 
Initiated The Curse!

Please Help Us To Be Wise
Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

Please Help Us To Ever Trust You 
And
Walk In The Light Of The Truth! 

Please Help Us To Uplift Your Holy Name 
And
Bless Ourselves By Worshiping You 
Through Faithful, Enduring, Obedience
Which Will See Us Ascending With You One Glad Day
To Enter Your Blessed Rest
In The Land Of No Night
The Land Of Eternal Youth!

Please Open Our Eyes
Unstop Our Ears
And
Help Us To Not Only Hear And Embrace The Truth
But To Act Decisively
On Your Living, Holy, Word Which Works! 

Father,
You Have Promised That 
Your Word Will Not Return Unto You Void, Empty
But Will Accomplish The Mission Of 
Getting Us Who Are Willing
Back Into Your House Of Love 
Which Has Room For All Who Will Look Up
To Jesus Christ, The King 
To Be Saved And To Eternally Live! 

Please Accept Our Heartfelt Confession And Repentance
And
Forgive And Cleanse Us As You Promised
And
Welcome Us Into The Fold Of Safely
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That
We Humbly Pray And In Dire Need Plead!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Traitor To "The Cause?!"









When Did I Betray You?

How Did I Betray You?

You Have Got To Be Insane!!

I Used To Be Just Like You!
I Was Chained, But
Now, I Am Changed!

Just Because We Are Family
It Does Not Mean I Will Lie For You!

Just Because We Are Church Family
It Does Not Mean I Will Cover Up The Wrongs You Do!

Just Because We Are Best Friends
It Does Not Mean I Pick Up Your Fire-Rage!

Just Because I Work For You
It Does Not Mean That Use Of My Conscience
Is Included In My Wage!

Just Because We Belong To The Same Group
It Does Not Mean I'm Lying Down In Your Grave With You!

Do Not Get Me Wrong!
I Love You
BUT
We Do Not Share A Soul
Nor A Mind!

Your Conscience May Be Dead - Not Mine!

I Am Walking The Straight and Narrow
I Have To Give God An Account Of My Time
And I Will Be Damned ...

YES!  I Said Damned
- And I Mean It Literally -
If I Am Going To Lie
On My Conscience
To Keep Your Friendship or
Business or
Familial Association!

I Am Not Using No Twenty-five Cent Phrase!

I Am Speaking God's Honest Truth!

Family,  Friend,  Mother,  Father
Brother,  Sister,  Teacher,  Preacher
President
Pope
Prime Minister or King
I Do NOT Give A Rat's Well Who You Are!
If You're Wrong
YOU ARE WRONG
And I Am Going To Tell You That You Are Wrong!

Call Me Traitor!
Disown Me!
Dismiss Me!
Block My Bank Account!
Close My Credit Card!
Repossess My Car!
Repossess My House, and
Even Take Back
The Non-Pet Mouse!

Liar Crook
Deceitful Dishonest 
Dishonorable Cheat
Don't Try To Put Me On Your Hook!

Jesus Is My Captain!
He Runs A Tight Ship!
I Believe In
Love and Trust Him
And I Intend To Go Home and Live With Him!

So ...

If You Want My Custom
My Friendship
My Companionship
And Want Me To Share A Meal With You
Buy A Clue
Hook Up With The Truth Shepherd
Confess ... And Repent
And He Will Walk With You, Too!

Go Get Yourself A Job
And Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!
I Am Working On My Own
And I Can't Share The Benefits I Receive With You!


Walking With Jesus Christ
Is
An All Or Nothing 
24/7 Proposition!

Walk Straight ... Even If You Walk Alone
And
Expect Rabid Opposition!

The Visitation!



There was a Knock on My Door!
I Opened it!
My Visitor Asked:

 "May I Enter?"

I said:

"Sure!
Welcome!
Come on in!"

I Offered Him The Place of Honor!
He Looked Right Regal There!
He Offered Up A Prayer of Blessing
AND
Proceeded To Teach Me About Godly Fear!

He Expounded On
Faith
Hope
Trust
Mercy
Glory and Grace!

He Spoke Urgently of 
Sin
Confession
Repentance
Salvation
AND
Setting Aside
Ungodly
Sinful Lusts!

He Spoke of The Father
The Mansions of Rest
AND
He Called Me Blessed
AND
Treated Me To Words of Hope
To Hold Me Up
Until The Day
When New Life Is Mine For 
Keeping The Blessed Hope!

He Said:

"I Love You!" 

I Told Him I Loved him, Too!

He Asked If His Spirit Could Move In and
I said: 

"Yes! I Have Room For Him!"

He Told Me To Let His Spirit
Keep His Place Safe and 
Comfortable and
Warmly Lit
For
He Had Some Others To Visit
Those My brothers and Sisters
From Other Flocks Of Lambs and Sheep
Out in The World Forlorn!

I said: 

"Blessings!
I'll Stay Here
AND 
By Your Grace
I'll Your Love Be Professing
To All and The Sundry
The Poor
The Peaceful
The Proud!
I'll Sing Your Praises!
I Will Sing Out Loud!"

He said: 

"Let My Spirit In You Hold Sway
For
He Will Lead You 
Guide You and 
Interpret Your Every Prayer!

I Am Your Holy Shepherd
Gentle
Kind
Loving 
AND
Just as I Am
You Be To The Brethren
AND
One Day Soon
We Will In Glorious Reunion Meet!"

My Sleep That Night Was Beautifully Sweet!
