HAPPY SABBATH + Real Peace Is Free!





























To What Are You Daily Inclined!?! 

We All Have Choices To Make And A Chance
An Opportunity To Make The Right Choice
The Choice Which Will Not Crucify Our Blessed Jesus Afresh! 

What Would You Do 
If You Had To Choose Between Momentary Pleasure 
And 
Perpetual Aka Everlasting Peace!?! 

Actually, There Is No "If" 
Because 
This Is The Decision That We, Each
Must Make Now, Today
As Members Of The Laodicean Church Age! 

Laodicea Means The Judging Of The People 
So We Are In The Judgment Hour 
Which Means All Decisions Are Final! 

Beloved, 

Is Denying That You Are Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind, And Naked 
Worth More To You 
- To Get A Foul, Fleeting, Fleeing Sensation - 
Than Making And Taking Hold Of The Covenant Of Peace 
With Our Creator God, Savior, Judge, And Redeemer 
Who Gives Us Peace Beyond Human Understanding!?! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All The Good Pleasure Of 
Having Jesus Christ's Perfect Peace Today And Forever! 

Peace!

REST: Under His Wings!



 


Think About It ... 

We Have Choices To Make 
And
Chances To Make Choices ... Good Or Bad! 

We, Each, Have The Choice To Look Around 
And 
Be Distressed By What Is Going Around Us 
Or To Look Inward 
And 
Be Completely Depressed About Our Soul's Estate 
Or To Look Up To Christ Jesus 
And
Cast Our Every Care
- Inward And Outward -
Upon Him Who Is The Great And Able Burden-Bearer
And 
Be Entirely At Rest 
Experiencing His Perfect Peace! 

You May Well Say ...


"That's Too Simple, Too Easy! 
It Can't, Won't, Shouldn't Work!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Because It Is Too Easy 
And 
Shouldn't Work That 
It Does Work! 

He Who Prescribes This Method 
Is 
The Very One Who Makes It Possible To Work 
By Giving Unto Us Faith To Trust Him 
To Work Things Out ... For Our Best Good! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

When You Give Your Burden To The Lord Christ
Let It Go Completely 
And
Leave It In His Holy Hands! 

The Lord Desires Our Bold
Willing
Unerring Trust In Him! 


Please Dare To Trust The Lord To Take Care Of You 
Because 
It Is He, Alone, Who Makes All Wrong Things Right
Turns Darkness To Light 
And
Makes Beauty Out Of Ashes! 

Only The Creator God Can Make The Impossible Happen! 
Make Your Peace With The God Holy
Lean On The Everlasting Arms
And
Shelter In Our Abiding Place 
Under His Wings!

HAPPY SABBATH + God's Gifts Are Eternal!

 






When Someone Leaves Something That 
You Desperately Need In Your Hot Hand
You Gratefully, Eagerly
Gladly Close Your Hand Tightly Over It
And 
Seal It In A Death Grip That 
No One This Side Of Glory Can Unclasp! 

Beloved, 
This Is How We Must Interact 
With Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Peace 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ Gives The Peace! 
We, Believers In Jesus, Death-Grip The Perfect Peace 
And 
No Damned Devil
Nor Self-Deceived Minion
Nor Demon-Inspired Heathen 
Or Hellion On Satan's "Payroll" 
And 
Known Bound For The Fire And Brimstone Bath
Can Get Peace Even Out Of Your Then-Cold-By-Death Grip! 

What Christ Gives 
Is 
Our Own To Have
And 
To Hold Now
And 
Even Forevermore! 

Jesus Christ ... The Lord ... The King 
Doesn't Take Back His Gifts From Us! 

We, Unbelieving, Doubting, Distrusting
Beguiled Aka Fooled, Tricked
By Wandering Eyes And Affections
Throw Back .. Throw Away ... The Heavenly Gifts 
Into The Lord's Dear Face 
And
Then Suffer Horribly, Unnecessarily, For Our Folly: 
Some People Die In Or For Their Folly! 

Remember, Beloved
Almighty God Is True ... The Truth
And 
All Human Beings 
And 
All Fallen Angels 
Are Known And Bold Liars! 

Dare To Know The Truth That Sets You Free
And 
Choose 
To Be Perfectly Peaceful 
In Christ's Precious Peace
That Is His Personal Gift To You Personally!



Don't Be Like Lot's Wife!
Don't Despise
The Gifts Of Almighty God!

Jesus Christ, The King Of Love, Loves You Best!






All Who Choose
To Walk Under The Banner Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Will Face Three Adversaries: 

The Enemy Within Aka Your Self
The Enemy Within The Household
And 
The Enemies Outside The Household 

And

All Three Enemies 
Are Agents Of Or Are Used By Satan 
With The Sole Purpose Of
Severing Our Connection With Our Maker 
And Thereby
Render Us Unfit To Enter The Glorious Kingdom! 

Beloved, 

Guard Your Heart! 
Jealously Guard The Time You Spend With The Lord 
Whether It Is Singing
Praying
Enjoying A Companionable Silence
Listening To The Still Small Voice Of The Holy Spirit
Asking For Blessing
Exercising Faith For The Earthly-Impossible
Trusting The Lord 
Because 
He Is The Almighty God
Or 
Just Waiting On The Lord With Faithful Endurance! 

Please Let Us Remember Always That
The Lord Is For His People
And 
Never, Ever, Forget That Whatever Trial 
Or Setback
Or Temptation We Face
The Lord Whom We Follow 
Will Lead Us Safely To The Expected End That 
He ... In His Infinite Wisdom ... Has Determined! 

Please Let The Lord Lead! 
Please Follow Faithfully Where The Lord Leads 
And 
Dare ...By Faith
To Leave The Outcome In His Loving Arms! 

The Truth Is ... 

Someone May Say They Love You 
But 
The Lord Of Life
Our Jesus Blessed Forever
Eternally Loves You The Absolute Best: 
Do Not Ever Doubt His Personal Holy Love For You! 



Peace With The King Of Love
Is
Forever Free!

JESUS CHRIST: King Or Judge

There Is No Blessing In Folly!
There Is No Peace In Rage!
There Is No Hope In Doubt
And
To Read The Whole Holy Book
The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God
You Must Diligently Turn Each Page!

We Have The Blessed Savior ...

There Is Our Father In Heaven
Whose Only Beloved Son Died On The Cruel Cross
To Save And To Bless
To Redeem Mankind
So That The Kingdom Of Light
Should Not Suffer Irreplaceable Loss!

We Have A Raging Enemy ...

There Is The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Fiend Who Fools People Into Believing
That He Has Their Best Interests At Heart
And
That He Is Able Their Lives To Bless
But
I Urge You, Brethren
To See Your Benefactor For Who He Is
The Adversary Of Your Own Soul
The Raging Lion
The Piercing Serpent
Leviathan ... Behemoth
The Liar ... The Murderer
The One Who Desires Worship
He Who Is The Wannabe
And
Every-Lying And Known False god!

A Simple Word Of Caution ...

Do Not Dig A Pit
Set A Trap
Or Prepare A Net To Cause Any Person To Perish 
Just Because You Do Not Like Them
Their Politics, Religion, Sexual Orientation
Color, Financial Status
Access, Reach And Grasp
Because
As The Good Book Says:






Brother, Sister
Close Family
Far-Off, Close Or Familiar Friend
Enemy Of The Truth
Lover Of The Lie
Faithful Servant
Child Of God
Student Of The School Of Jesus
Whatever You Are
Wherever You Be
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves You
Just As He Loves Me!

I Urge You, Beloved
Look Up To Christ Jesus
And
In Faith ... With Endurance
Walk On The Strait, Straight And Narrow Road
If
It Is Your Heart's Desire
To Be At Home With The King
Our Soon-Returning Lord And Holy God!

Times And People Change ...

Enemies Can Become Friends
When Truth Is Embraced
And
Friends Can Become Enemies
When Truth Calls Out Their Double-Life
To Their Very Face!

We, Humans, Have A Choice To Make
Follow The Lord ... And Live
Follow The Liar ... And Contrary Walk!
In Short
Whatever The Decision For Your Life You Make
Walk Your Talk Wholeheartedly
Because
Fence Jockeying Benefits Neither Self
Nor Any Other Body!

The Holy Spirit Is Calling!
The Lord Christ Wants To Save Me And You!

As Jesus Christ
In The Living Word Has Made Plain
And
We All Need To Know:

Be Ye Hot

Or
Be Ye Cold
But
If You Are Lukewarm
Spewed Out Of My Mouth
You Shall Go!

Rich, Proud And Loud
Or Poor, Humble And Meek
Choose You This Day
The Character Of Your Life
And
Follow Him Faithfully
Whom You Belief Will Give You The Best
That Is ... Eternal Life!

Personal, Final, Decisions Must Be Made ...

I Shall By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- Who Us Leads Into All Truth -
Follow The Master, That Suffering Servant
Jesus Christ The Shepherd
The King
The Lord
For Love
And
Not Just For The Promised Reward!

... And You Have The Choice To Make:

Follow Jesus Christ 
And 
Let Him Be Your Welcoming King
Or
Follow Satan 
And 
Let Jesus Christ Be To You, Your Judge!

I Choose Jesus
And
By His Grace
I Shall Not From My Position Budge!
Please Join Me!

MAN MUST MAKE HIS OWN DECISION: The Trumpet Shall Sound And ...!

Every Man, Woman, Child
Must His Own Decision Make!

We ... Of The Household Of Faith
We're Listening For The Lord Of Life's Lone Trumpet! 

True, But Most Of The Nations' People Are Listening 
To The Enthralling, Encompassing, Orchestral Arrangement Of 
The Lost And Dying World!

We Do Not Dress, Walk
Or The Same Language Speak
For Their Customs And Practices Of 
Satan's Stench
Does Overwhelmingly Reek!

The Lord Said: 
"Don't!" 
Satan Says: 
"Do!"

The Lord Says: 
"Sanctify Yourself!" 
Satan Says: 
"Satisfy The Royal We!"

The Lord Says: 
"Confess, And Of Known Sin, Repent!" 
Satan Says: 
"Fornicate, Adulterate, Abominate
For You Will Soon Have Another Lent!"

The Lord Says: 
"Guard Your Heart!" 
Satan Says: 
"Let Everyone His Own Heart Regard!"

The Lord Says: 
"Invite The Holy Spirit
Your Daily Life To Lead!"

Satan Says: 
"Ingest The Spirits 
And As A Profligate You Will Succeed!"

The Lord Says: 
"Look Up And Live!" 
Satan Says: 
"Look Around And Live It Up!"

The Lord Says: 
"Have Faith!" 
Satan Says: 
"Have Faith, Fanny, Felicia
Felicity, Frank, Francis And Felix!"

The Lord Says: 
"Come Before Me 
And Worship And Bow Down!"
Satan Says: 
"Worship Before Me! Bow And Come Down!"

The Word Of The Lord
Is
Plain And Straight!
The Word Of Satan 
Is 
Ambiguous
And
Follows The Path Of The Accursed Snake!

The Word Of The Lord
Is
The Truth
And
Is The Light That Gives Life!

The Word Of Satan
Is
The Lie That Benights
And
Always Embroils One In Sure
And
Damnable Strife!

The Lord Jesus Christ Lives Forever!
Satan Shall Die Forever!

The Lord Jesus Christ Offers Glory
For Me And For Thee!
Satan Promulgates Heresy That 
Damns Himself
And 
Every Believing-As-He-Does Body!

Jesus Christ The Lord ... Always Saves
And
Always Will
Those Repentant Ones Who To Him
Their Broken Lives Give!

Satan The Piercing Serpent Cannot, Will Not, Save
And
He Takes His Perverse Pleasure 
From Knowing That He Wantonly Hope Kills!
He Always, Always, The Unwary Soul Destroys!

Choices, Chances
Fate Or Faith
Doubt, Disbelief, Trust:
We Need Truth 
So That With This Life 
We May Hope To Cope!

Man Must Make His Decision
For Good ... For Life
Or For Self ... 
To Live In Sin
And
It Is Certain That
Not Almighty God On Heaven's Throne
Nor Satan Bound For Hell
Can Stay Nor Steer The Decision!

The Bottom Line ...

Choosing Life Everlasting
Or
Everlasting Separation From Almighty God
Is 
The Known Sinner's  
Private, Personal, Uncoerced, Decision!

Ye Are Not Your Own!?!

My Life Is Mine To Do Whatever I Please!

Kinda Bold, Aren't You ... For A Thief!?!

Excuse Me!?!

No Excuse Necessary!
You're Nothing But A Thief!

Them's Fighting Words, Mister!
You'd Better Back Up Your Mouth
Or Shut Up!

No Need To Put Up Your Dukes, Young Fella!
He's Speaking The Living God's Truth!

Enough Already!
My Life IS Mine And I DO What I Want!

It Looks Like We've Got Ourselves A Hard Case Here!

Let Me Ask You A Question:
You Ever Created Anything!?!

Sure, I Have! I Do!
I Create Computer Apps!

That's Lovely!
Whose Brain Did You Use!?!

I Used My Own Brain!

Did You Create That Brain!?!

Of Course, Not!

You're A Thief!
Whose Eyes Did You Use!?!

I Used My Own Eyes, Of Course!

Did You Create Those Eyes!?!

Of Course Not!
Humans Can't Create Eyes!

You're A Thief!

You're Really Starting To Bug Me!

That's My Hope!

Really!?!

Whose Hands, Ears
Mind, Heart Did You Use!?!

Let's See ... Mine, Mine, Mine
Mine And Mine!
I Used, I Use, All That Is Mine!

Did You Create You!?!

Of Course Not!

Then, As I Said Before, You're A Thief!
What Do You Keep Saying That!?!
What Do You Mean By Making That Statement!?!

Whoever Has The Right Of Creating You
Owns You!
Who Created You!?!

My Parents!?!

I Glean By That Question That 
You Are Experiencing, Dare I Say, Doubt!?!

You'd Better Believe It!

Very Good! 

We're Making Progress!

And The LORD Said:
Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image
After Our Own Likeness ...!




What Does That Make God!?! 

That's Easy! Almighty God Is Man's Creator!

I Like That You Recognize That God Is Almighty!

And God Said To Man
Be Fruitful And Multiply!
What Does That Make God!?! 

Our Programmer!?!

I'll Take That Answer!
There Is No Human
No Human Pretending To Be God
No Demonic Spirit
Or That Satan Who Wants To Be God
That Has The Rights To Anything
That Almighty God Through Jesus Christ
The Lord Created Or Called Into Being ...!

... Just Remember That When The Powers That Be
Tell You That You Have No Exclusive Right
To Your Body Which Is The Lord's!

The Earth Is The Lord's
And 
The Fullness Thereof
Aka Whatever Is On It Or Under It
The Sea And They That Dwell Therein
For He Spake ... And It Was Done
He Commanded ... And It Stood Fast!
Can You
Do You
Do Any Of That!?!

Of Course Not!
I'm Not The Creator God!

Very Nice! 

Do You Still Say That Your Life Is Your Own!?!

No, I Don't
But I Will Say That The Lord God Gifted Me My Life!

So, What Do You Intend To Do With Your Gift!?!

How Many Choices Do I Have!?!

Let's Just Say ... Two ...!!

... Which Are!?!

Nothing Too Difficult:
Satisfy Self
Or
Glorify God!

Can't I Glorify God By Satisfying Self!?!

NO!!

Oh, Man!! 
Don't I Get Anything For Myself!?!

Sure, You Do!
Give God Glory By Setting Aside Self
And
Get God's Gifts Of Grace And Faith
His Blessings Of Peace And Rest
Truth And Righteousness
Forgiveness And Salvation
Hope And Glory!!

You Said Glory!
Do I Really Get Glory!?!

You Surely Do!

You Must Willingly Give God Your Life
Which Is His To Begin With
And
You Get The New Beginning
- Eternal Life -
Which Is ALMIGHTY God's Gift To Give
To The Enduring Faithful At This World's Sure End!

The New Beginning!
I Can Really Relate To New Beginnings!
I Know A Lot About Starting All Over Again!

Then You Should Have No Problem
Starting ...!

... A New Life With Jesus Christ!
I Get It!
My Life Is Not My Own!
He Could Take It
But He Desires Me To Give
Aka Gift It Back To Him!

Wow!
This Is Amazing!
I Can Give God An Unique Gift
That Not One Other Creature Can Give To Him!

I Can Give Almighty God, Myself!
I'm Special!
I Can Bless God!
I Shall Bless God ...!

... Before You Go Totally Overboard
With Your Wonderful Gift To God
Let's Talk A Little Bit About ... Pride!

It's Like This ...

If You Have A Gift To Give To Almighty God
But 
You Become So Enamored
So Proud Of The Contents
And
The Uniquely Beautiful Wrapping
That You Proudly Believe 
That You Have Lovingly Prepared
And
You Do Not Humble Yourself
By Setting Aside Self Before Your Maker
And
Deliver The Gift To That Holy Recipient
It Is A Present To ... Your Proud Self!

...!!!

 The Proud One Is Never Humble!
The Humble One Faithful Is Never Proud!
Grace And Mercy Bless The Humble Faithful
And
The Cries Of The Damned Proud Will Be Loud!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SATISFACTION IN SIN: Balaam Beor

Balaam Beor
Was A Fraud
AND
A Prophet
For Whom Satisfaction Came
Only From Profit!

Balaam
Son Of Beor
Beat His Faithful Ass
Until The Lord Gave It A Voice
Which Caused
The Profit-Driven Prophet
To Answer It
As Though It Were Human!
He Didn't Have A Choice!

Balaam
Knew God's Truth
BUT
Being Of Deceitful Ilk
Petitioned The Eternal
- Not In Innocence -
To See If God
Would Think As He Thought
So That He Could Get His Grubby Hands
On King Balak's Coinage
That Would
In His Loving Hands
- By His Ecstatic Rejoicing -
Gloriously Clink!

Balaam Sold Out His Soul To The Devil
Because
Greed
In His Soul's Armor
Was A Really, Really
Really Big Chink!
It Was A Big Hole!

So Big Was That Hole
That A Whole Satan
Walked Comfortably Through
Never Touching The Edges
So That Balaam Thought
- Wrongly -
That
He Was Doing His Own Do
Never Realizing
- I Conjecture -
That Practice
Wears A Nun Robe
AND
Did Not Recognize
That Against The Living God
He Had Become
A Raw Sinner
Another Adversary
- Pretend Friendly -
AND
Studiedly Bold!

A Little Sin
- Cherished -
Becomes
A Lot Of Sin
- Relished -
AND
You Can't Control It
For
It
- Triumphing -
Controls You!
Your Life Becomes Hellish!

The Story Of Balaam
Is
A Cautionary Tale
A Tale With A Tail
That Does Constant Flail
At This Time Of The End
When Men's Hearts Do Wax Cold
Where Love For The Other
Is Something To Be Sold
When Profiteering Is Laudable
Where Faith In God Is Laughable
Where Truth Has No Beauty
AND
Love For The Living God Is A Nasty Cootee!

I Ask You, Brethren
To Sincerely Search Self
For The Chink In Your Character
For That Lesson In Your Book Of Life
For Which You Always Score An "F"
Because
That Is The Lesson
Which Will Continue To Be Your Test
Ever Getting Harder As It Pertains To Jesus Christ
AND
Ever Easier As It Pertains
To The Base Perpetrator Of Wickedness And Vice!

Think On This ... Carefully:

Just As An Innocent Oyster
Is Impregnated
In Under A Minute
- So As Not To Immediately Kill It -
With A Grain Of Sand
To Make It Produce A Precious Pearl
So, Too, Are We ... But In An Instant!

The Difference 
Is Who Is Doing The Impregnating
AND
For What Purpose
AND
Do We With It Agree!

Oysters Have No Say
In Their Impregnation
AND
They Also Have No Say
In What Color Pearl
What Size Pearl
What Iridescence
It Shall Produce
BUT
We Do!

Balaam Beor
Was Known
To Be A Prophet Of God
Known To Work Enchantments
Known To Utter Curses
Knew The Ways Of God
Had Great Light From God
BUT
Willfully
Wickedly
Knowingly
Treacherously
Greedily
Disobediently
Used It All
For The Glory Of Satan
The Base Fraud!

Satan Is A Thief
A State-Line Robber
A Murderer
Who Impregnates
To Kill Twice
BUT
Jesus Christ
By His Holy Spirit
Indwells
To Give Us
Abundant Life Now
AND
Eternal Life Later!

What Is In Your Soul?
Is It The Light Of Life
The Glow Of Heaven
ORIs It The Seed Of The Serpent
The Bloat Of Corrupting Leaven?!

When You Know WHAT In You Grows
You Will Know WHO Causes It To Grow!
What Are You Raising
For Your Harvest?!

Balaam Son Of Beor
Got The Sword Of Damnation
In His Chest
Because
Those Who Willfully Cause Others To Sin
Get The Same Punishment
As Those Committing The Sin!

Think, Dear Ones
On These Things
AND
Convicted
AND
Convinced
Let Jesus Christ
Of Your Whole Life
Be
The Crowned And Reigning
Laboring King And Captain
To Direct Your Life
AND
Fight
All Your Battles
Against The Adversary Of Souls
Who Cherishes The Night!

Look Unto Jesus The Christ
AND
Keep Heaven
In Your Eye Sight
For
Night Comes
AND, THEN
The Getting Up Morning!
Judgement Morning!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICES: C2G Or C2D







The Weary Pilgrims 
To Glory Go
When The Savior Comes To Reign
For
They Will Have Cast Sin Away
AND
Doffed
Its Beguiling Chains!

Earth For Them 
Would Have Been
A Vale Of Bitter Tears
Where Character Shaped By Sin
Was Reshaped
By The Lord Of Light
As They Battled Against The Devil's Darts
AND
In Jesus' Name
Fought The Good Fight
Never Looking For Earthly Fortune
Fame
Or Vainglorious Acclaim!

Many A Dear Saint
Would Have Perished
For The Faith
But
Their Blood - Good Seed -
Many A Good Tree Raised
And Borne Fruit
- Good Fruit -
Fit 
For The Table Of The Great King
AND
None Will Know
The Magnitude Of The Harvest
Until 
In The Glorious Kingdom
Will Be Revealed
All And Everything!

Sound The Trumpet
Ye Watchmen Of The Lord!
Give The Battle Cry!
Soon Is Coming
The Great Day Of Reward!

Now Is The Appointed Time
For Man 
To Awake From Sleep!
Now Is Time 
To Make Known
Who Will Be God's Good 
AND
Faithful Sheep!

Teach The Word
In Season Or Not!
Tell The Glad Tidings
Let Not Your Voice Drop!
Tell All Of The Blessing
- The Blessing Of Peace And Rest -
AND
Encourage The Weary
For Now Is Not The Time
For Revelry
Nor The Debauched Carnal Fest!

The King Is Coming
For You!
For Me!
Are We Washing Our Garments?
Are Our Hearts For Eternal Life 
Being Made Ready?

Are We Trusting In The Lord
Enduring The Test
AND
The Hard Trials
As We Wait
- Patiently -
On The Reward?

Are We Resting
In The Truth For All Ages
Or
Are We Fallen Away
Unto Comfortable Fables
AND
Bold Lies?
Are We Permitting Self To Be Beguiled?

Each Heart Must Answer
All
For To Bless
Or To Curse
His Own Soul!
Christ Does Not Condemn Us
For
Our Works
Do Determine
Our Own Soul's Ultimate Goal!

Commendation!
Condemnation!
Glorification!

AND
Damnation!
All Are Choices
That Man MUST Make
Free
Of Coercion
Intimidation
Or Fear
Free As A Bird Of Choice
Free As A Bird At Will
To Catch That upDRAFT
DOWNdraft Of Air
That Will Bear The Soul Aloft
Or
Land Him In The Clear!

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


I Choose
The Lord Jesus Christ!
Will You?!
