Praying ... In Love















My Heartfelt Prayer For Us All Today Is: 


Heavenly Father, 
Please Continue To Grant Us
Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith
To Help Us To Stand Rooted And Grounded In The Truth! 

Please Grant Us Strength To Walk Away
From Things Which Cannot Spiritually Profit Us
And
From People Who Curse The Name Of The Lord
And
Choose Not To Hear Of Or Know About Him
Or To Walk In His Ways! 

Please Grant Us The Needed Courage 
To Endure The Barbs And Reject The Dishonest Doings Of
Those Who Have Chosen To Walk In Darkness
Despising The Light That Leads To Eternal Life!

Oh, Father, 
Please Supply Us With The Love We Need To Have Hope
Because
We Have Chosen To Hope In The King Of Love
The Shepherd Who Leads Us To Eternal Rest! 

Please Help Us In Our Desire To Do All That You Ask Of Us
As We Willingly Choose To Do
What Is Good And Right And Holy! 

Finally, Dear Father,
Please Provide To Us, Out Of Your Riches In Glory
The Innumerable Blessings Needed
To Continually Pursue The Promise Of
A Place In Your House
In The Paradise Of God
Which Includes Immortality, Incorruptibility
Fruit From The Tree Of Life
And
Water From The River Of The Water Of Life
Which Flows By The Throne Of God! 

Thank You For The Unspeakable Gift! 

In Love, We Ask For All These Things 
And
Bless You
In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Great Name! 
AMEN!!!

Blessed Are They That Do His Commandments!




If Loving The  Lord Is Keeping His Commandments Aka Obedience
Then Being Thankful To Him
Being Grateful For His Love
Is 
Giving Him Free-Will, Heartfelt, Worship 
And 
Total Praise! 

If Knowing Your End Keeps You From Sinning
Then Knowing Your Beginning
Honoring Your Creator
Embracing Wisdom
Shall Keep You In The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

If The Lord Honors Those Who Honor Him
It Is Obvious Then That He Will Lift You Up 
In The Time Appointed! 

If You Hide The Word Of The Lord
- The Truth That Saves - 
In Your Heart To Be A Lamp For Your Feet 
And
The Light On The Way Home To Glory
Then Those Who Cast The Truth To The Ground 
Walk In Darkness 
And 
Shall Go To Hell!  

If The Lord Is Our Gentle Shepherd
Then We Are His Blessed Sheep 
On Lush Ever-Green Pastures 
Near Still Waters Sweet
And 
We Know That Our Restored Souls 
He Lovingly, Faithfully, Keeps! 

Beloved, 

Let No One Persuade You 
Our Holy God Faithful To Spurn 
So That From The Path Of Truth And Duty
From Wise Discernment
Unto Fables And Idols 
You, Totally Deceived, Turn! 

Please Dare To Let Faith Be First: 
Give Doubt No Hold! 

Please Choose To Let Trust Be First: 
Heaven Is The Only Goal! 

Please Courageously Let Truth Be First: 
Jesus Christ Is The Keeper Of Your Soul! 

Please Stand Up For The Lord Christ
- Our True And Only King - 
And 
In This Matter, Be Very, Very, Bold! 

Ever Remember To Walk Onward 
And 
Upward Into Truth! 

Peace!

Win At Salvation By Failing At Sin!








Obedience, Trust, And Surrender 
Are Three Of The Hardest Concepts For Us To Wrap Our Minds Around 
And
Put Into Action On A Consistent Basis 
To Make A Real, Visible, Difference In Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

To Obey Our Lord Christ
We Must First Trust Him 
And
In Order To Trust Him And Obey
We Must Surrender Ourselves 
And
Our Sin 
Before 
We Are Willing To Walk In His Holy Way! 

We Often Hear That "Hallelujah!" 
Is 
The Highest Praise! 

Well, Obedience 
Is 
The Highest Form Of Worship! 

We Often Hear That Imitation 
Is 
The Highest Form Of Flattery! 

Well, Living For And Like Jesus Christ 
Is 
Letting The Whole World Know That 
We Are On The Lord's Side 
And That 
We Have Taken Him For Our Everlasting Portion! 
This Is Love ... Not Flattery! 

Be Warned! 

There Is No Everlasting Portion For 
Disobedient, Distrustful
Battling-Against-Truth Sinners! 

Please Do Not Be Fooled 
By The Antics And Rhetoric Of The Worldly-Wise! 

Surrendering Sin And Self To The Savior 
Is Not 
The Sweet Treat For Sappy Saints Seeking Salvation! 

Surrendering To Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Boldest, Most Courageous
Most Beneficial Act Of Winning Warfare That 
Any Of Us Will Ever Perform On This Side Of Glory! 

People Who Think That They Are Important 
May Call You Sottish Aka Foolish: 
Let Them! 

Please Choose To Surrender, Obey
And 
Unerringly, Enduringly Trust The Lord 
And
Be Perfectly Sure That 
You Will Spend The Eternity Of Bliss In The Great Reward 
With Jesus Christ The King! 

The Trusting, Faithful, Obedient, Enduring
Surrendered Saints 
Win At Salvation By Failing At Sin! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Marching Orders!







"Stand With The Brave!" 
"Be Very Courageous!" 
          "Be Strong In The Lord!" 
          "Hold The Fort!" 
                    "Choose Life And Blessing!" 
                    "Live Free In Jesus!" 
                              "Claim Your Victory Over Sin!" 
                              "Death Before Dishonor!" 

These Are Either The Dumbest Words Ever Uttered 
Or 
They Are The Marching Orders
The Rallying Call Of And For 
One Choosing To Walk Wise Under 
The Righteous-White Banner Of 
The Saints Of God And Christ! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools, Cowards, Weaklings, Or  Doubters
Nor Untested, Untried, Unprovened, Posers 
Entering The Holy City! 

If You Haven't Victoriously Borne Your Cross
You Shall Not Joyfully Wear The Over-Comer's Crown! 

Do You Faithfully Pray 
And 
Enduringly Plod On Though Weary And Oppressed!?! 

There's An Old Expression: 

"You Don't Get Anything 
Because
You Don't Ask For Anything!" 

Are You Forgetting 
To Raise Yourself Up Boldly To The Throne Of Grace 
To Make Your Petitions Known Unto Our Giving And Forgiving God 
Who Knows And Owns Everything 
And 
Is Desirous Of Blessing You Beyond All Imagining 
But Won't 
Until You Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto Him!?! 

Open Your Eyes ...

Know Jesus Christ The Lord: 
He Is Protector, Provider
Savior, Sealer
Healer
And 
Helper Who Equips All Whom He Calls To Share His Glory! 

Strengthen Your Weak Knees In His Holy Word 
And 
Stand Strong Against The Dominion Of The Damned! 

Your Orders Are Not An Advertising Stunt: 
You Are Called To Life Eternal! 
Put On The Whole Armor Of God
And
Stand With The Brave
By Almighty God's Great Grace!

 Peace!

Run Your Race To Enter Christ's Glory Wherein Is Everlasting Life!







In The Competitive World
The Warning Constantly Given 
Is 
"Keep Your Eye On The Prize!" 

In The Spiritual Realm Of The Forever Blessed
We Are Encouraged To 
"Run Your Race To Receive The Crown 
Which Does Not Pass Away!" 

Beloved, 

These Two Statements Speak Volumes 
If
We Are Paying Attention! 

Keep Your Eye On The Prize Suggests That 
If You Even So Much As Blink
What You're Striving For Disappears!
Forever! 

Striving To Receive The Heavenly Prize 
Is 
Absolutely Achievable 
And
That Heavenly Prize Won 
Can Never Be Given To Another Person! 

Think On These Things ... 

Earthly Princes Are Princes Until They're Not! 

Titans Of Sport, Finance, And Entertainment 
Get Dethroned! 

Unholy Priests And Pastors Get Defrocked 
And
All Of This Happens 
Because 
What They Were Holding On To
Looking Greedily Upon
Broadcasting As Their Divine Right
Was Neither Right Nor Divine! 

Unimpeachable Facts ... 

Regular People Strive And Fail! 
Flavors Of The Month Get Canceled!
Rights-Givers Get Offended 
And
Prizes Given Get Rescinded! 

Blessedly, Our Almighty God Does Not Change: 
He Makes No Mistakes! 

If You Fail To "Win" The Great Salvation
None Other Will Gain Your Crown Or Your Land! 

Your Race ... For Eternal Life
Is 
Run Against Yourself Only 
And
Is Won Or Lost By You Alone! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Do Not Let Sinful-Self 
Turn You Into A Condemned Loser! 

Please Be Very Courageous
And
Choose To Look Up To Christ Jesus 
And
Let Saving Faith Propel You To The Everlasting Prize! 

Peace With The Living God 
Is 
Perfect!


Run Your Daily Race
To Please The Eternal God
Not Fallen, Finite, Mankind!

HAPPY SABBATH + Blessed Or Curse, The Choice Is Yours Alone!









How Are You!?! 

"I'm Doing Well!" 

Really!?! 
Are You Doing What Is Good And Right!?! 

"Well, Um, Ah ... You Know ...!" 

Beloved, 

Doing What Is Good And Right 
Should Never Be The Fish-Bone That 
Sticks In Your Throat
The Rose-Thorn In Your Hand
Nor The Nail In Your Foot! 

Being Good 
And 
Doing Right 
Shouldn't Make You Sneeze, Wheeze 
And 
Desire To Vomit 
Because 
It Is So Alien To Your Character 
And 
Your Way Of Life
And
A Cause For Mockery 
And
An Offense To Your "Friends!" 

When We Walk With The Lord Christ
We Walk According To His Will 
And
On The Path That He Shows 
And
Is Guiding Us Safely Along 

And

If You Have Bosom Buddies, Associates
And
Near And Dear Ones 
Who Are Urging You By Snide Remark
Petty Behavior And ... Evil Deed 
To Depart The Living Way
Dare To Be Very Courageous 
And
Choose To Live For The Lord 
Who Gives You Life And Health
And
Protection 
And 
Provision Every Single Day! 

Evil And Evil-Doers Temporarily Rage And Rise 
But 
Being Thoroughly Cursed
They Will Eventually, Eternally, Perish! 

The Saints Of God And Christ 
Will Temporarily Suffer Physical And Financial Ruin 
For Their Steadfast Faithfulness 
But
Being Truly Blessed Beyond All Human Thought
They Will Spiritually Flourish 
And
Eternally Prosper! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Are Not Alone! 

Truth And Faith 
Give Good And Right The Eternal Win: 
Pray And Plod On! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Provide For Us, Lord, According To Our Need!


Father, 
I See My Need And I Come To You In Faith
With All Doubts Set Aside
Because I Recognize And Accept That 
There Is Nothing That I Can Humanly Do 
That I Can Do Without Your Holy Hand
Your Gift Of Life, Love 
And
Dear Grace
That Unmerited Favor Which I Daily Receive 
According To Your Loving Kindness! 

I Am Grateful, Lord
For The Knowledge That Clearly Shows Me That 
I Do Not Walk Alone
Through The Changing Scenes Of Life 
And
The Personal Experiences That Prove That 
You Are True To Your Word Holy, Alive
And
That You Are Indeed Faithful
Worthy To Trusted, Honored
Worshipped
Consciously Followed
And
Enduringly Obeyed! 

You Are My Hope
My Only Help
My Sure Salvation
My Peace
My Rest! 

Father, You Are Home To Me
And
It Is With A Loving Heart
Burdened For Our Brethren
Near, Far, Seen, Unseen, Known, Unknown
In The Faith 
And
Coming To Faith That 
I Pray For Your Rich Blessings
To Fall Upon Each Of Us
According To Our Individual Needs
And
Equipping Us For The Journey To Zion
The Journey Home To You That We Are Making!

I Give You Grateful Praise
And
Heartfelt Thanks
For
The Strength For Our Journey
And
The Courage Dearly Needed
For The Way In Which We Must Walk
To Safely Reach Our Heavenly Home! 

Please Increase Our Faith 
And
Help Us To Humbly Draw Nearer To You
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Dear Name That
We Plead! 
Please Have Mercy Upon Us And Come Soon! 
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Faith, Experience, Patience, Endurance And Prayer!



Happy Sabbath Wishes for Android - APK Download 


... She's Got To Have It:

F aith
E xperience
P atience
E ndurance 
P rayer

I Say That She Needs

S trength ... She's Weak
C ourage  ... She's Frightened, And 
O pportunity ... She Needs To Seize The Moment! 

There's No Time Like This Time!
It's All That We Have!

Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Brethren, 

Let's Just Cut To The Chase 
And 
Acknowledge That This Is The To-Life Race
That We're Also Talking About Ourselves
And 
Greatest Of All
We All Need Jesus Christ Now ... Today
Every Moment Of Every Day Aka 24/7!

What's Interesting And Terrifying
Is That
We Already Say That We Know Jesus Christ
But
It Isn't Who We Know!
It's Whether He Knows Us
Because 
If He Doesn't Know Us
He Will Say At Crunch Time ...!

... Depart From Me ...!

... I Never Knew You! 

But ...! 

... Don't Be A Goat: Don't But! 

Words And Flesh Don't Have The Same Weight
Unless You're Almighty God! 

Maisme, You May Want To Explain That Remark
For The Benefit Of The Brethren! 

I'd Be Glad To, Bro. Brande! 

It's Simple, Friends! 
John 1 Explains It All! 

In The Beginning Was The Word
The Word Was God
The Word Became Flesh
And Dwelt Among Us! 

The Word Of God 
Is A Transcript Of God's Character! 
God Cannot Be Separated From His Character! 
Jesus Is God!
Jesus Is The Word!
Father God Gave His Son, Jesus God, To Us! 
Divinity Was Clothed In Humanity! 
Humanity Is Flesh! 
Divinity Is Spirit! 
Word And Flesh Are Mated ... Inextricably Joined
In Time ... And For Eternity! 

The Word Of God Who Is God
And The Flesh Of Jesus Who Is God
Have The Same Weight 
Can't Be Separated
Can't Be Ignored
Can't Be Destroy
Will Stand Forever! 
He, Jesus, Came Down To Our Level
To Take Us Up To His Level! 

We Have To Have Him Personally Know Our Name Intimately
And The Only Way For That To Happen 
Is To Use What We Have Received ... From His Hand 
As Personal Gifts Every Day Of Our Lives! 

F.E.P.E.P
Aka  Faith, Experience, Patience, Endurance And Prayer
And S.C.O. 
Aka Strength, Courage And Opportunity
And Surprise, Surprise ... No Surprise
We Get All Through That Most Excellent 
Most Maligned
Most Underrated
Most Misunderstood
Most Underappreciated Gift Called Faith ... Holy Faith!

All That We Need To Cause Us To Know Jesus God The Lord
He Gifts, Gives, To Us Every Day! 

All We Have To Do For The Lord God To Know Us
Is To Exercise Faith ... And Constantly Pray! 

If I Don't Talk, Converse, Communicate With You
We Are Not Friends!
We Don't Know Each Other! 
We Know Of, About, Each Other! 

Friends ... Whom I Know
Brethren ... Who Know Me
The Same Is True Where Jesus Is Concerned:

I, We, Know About Jesus
Because We Read The Good Book That Speaks Of Jesus! 
We Know Jesus When We Willingly, Avidly, Continually 
Continuously
Constantly
Comradely Communicate Conscientiously With Him
For Care
For Comfort
For Communion ... For The Cause! 

The Cause ... Our Cause Is
To Breach The Veil
To Cross Time
To Enter Eternity 
To Be Forever With Him
Whom We Intimately Know
And Who Intimately Knows Us! 

If We Don't Come Up To Scratch
We Will Not Hear The Grand And Glorious Commendation:

Well Done
Good And Faithful Servant! 
Enter Into The Joy
Of
Thy Lord! 

The Day Of Judgment Is Fast Approaching
And We Need To Get Our Spiritual Houses In Order!
May I Continue, Bro. Brande!?!

Please, By My Guest!
What You've Shared So Far Is Very Interesting, Indeed!

Brethren,

Let's Look At Psalm 9 Verses 7 And 8
Which Has Great Bearing For Us 
Who Are Of The End-Time Church
The Laodicean Church!

If I May Interject Here
Laodicea Means "The Judging Of The People!"

Thank You, Kindly, Bro. Brande!



Psalm 9:7,8 (With images) | Isaiah 32, Psalm 9, Psalms


It's A Terrible Thing When You Can't Trust Your Own Attorney 
Nor The Judge Before Whom Your Case Is Set! 
The Outcome, In That Case
Is Your Swift Condemnation And Damnation 
Be It By Fine Or Confinement! 
This Is Not So In The Household Of Faith
In The Realm Of The Forever Blessed! 

Our Attorney, Advocate, Intercessor
Is Jesus Christ The High Priest-King! 

Our Judge, Jury And Executioner 
- If We Refuse His Word
His Advocacy In Our Behalf -
Is Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life
The King Of Love! 

Our Fee To Retain The Services Of The True Advocate
The Servant-King ... Our Attorney Of Record
Is Exercised Faith
All Day, Every Day
For Every Matter Great Or Small
Be It Physical, Spiritual, Mental
Emotional ... Or Just Because! 
We Receive A New Gift Of Faith 
For Each Day That We Are Alive!

Thank God For Grace!

Beloved,

As Long As You Are Humble Under His Mighty Hand
And Enduringly Obedient
And Faithful To Truth
And Willing To Confess And Repent Of 
The Known-Wrong Aka Sin Aka Lawlessness
And Do Not Doubt His Prowess, Power
And Ability To Save And Bless You
You'll Be Good, Blessed, To Go Home With Him: 
You Shall Be Wearing The Gold Crown Of Eternal Life! 
You Shall Be Free, Indeed! 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves: Get Close To And Know Him! 

I Bid Us All His Peace 
As We Run This Race To His Eternal Life!

AMEN!!!

Pray ... And Persist In Prayer!

Who Needs t Pray? (Luke 18:1) | For You


Brethren,

See To It That You Heed The Word Of The Lord!
Remember That He Said To One ... And To All:
Pray ... Without Ceasing
And
Pray ... And Don't Faint
Aka Give Up, Be Dismayed
Be Anxious About Everything!

Prayer, Beloved
Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses
To Those Who Believe In The Living Word!
Pray ... And Persist!

Understand One Thing, Though:

We Are Not Telling The Lord
Anything That He Does Not Already Know!
We Are Allowing Our Prayers Of Faith
To Carry Us Up Towards Our God
Whom We Know Can Help Us
And 
Whom We Truly Believe Will Help Us!

So, Little Children, With That In Mind
Whatever Your Sorrow
Whatever Your Need
Cry Boldly ... Even Bitterly
But 
Always Humbly 
And
With Faith 
Unto Almighty God ... In The Name Of Jesus
For Your Relief And Release! 

If You Have Any Doubt Within You
Please Tell The Lord About It
And
Ask Him To Help You Get Rid Of It!

The Lord Does Not Have Anything
To Give To Anybody
Who Does Not Believe In Him 
And His Ability To Provide! 

Think About It ...

Our Prayers Are Conversations: 
We Speak And The Lord Listens 
And
The Lord Speaks ... And We Listen! 
Pray ... And Listen ... And Pray Again!

Pray ... Until Something Happens!

A Word Of Caution ...

Please Do Not Let Your Prayers
Be Always About I-Want, I-Need, Gimme, Gotta Have It!
Prayers Of Thanksgiving Are Always Welcomed 
And 
Always Accepted!

Let Us Be Mannerly
And
Confident
When We Approach The Throne Of Grace 
Remembering To Whom We Speak
On Whom We Rely
In  Whom We Trust
Through Whom We Shall Ascend The Heights Of Glory
And 
With Whom We Shall Spend Eternity 
In The Sweet By And By! 

Beloved, 

We Are Blessed Beyond Measure 
Because
We Have A Carte Blanche ... A Blank Check
Which We May Courageously Fill In 
With The Ink Of Faith: 
It's Already Signed By The Heart Of Infinite Love 
And
Will Be Honored Only As It Blesses You
And
Glorifies His Great Name! 

Pray Passionately In The Moment Of Your Need 
And, Again
I Say Unto Us All: Pray Without Ceasing! 

Praying Is Power
Because
Prayer Is Powerful
Because
Our Ability To Pray To The Majesty Of Heaven
Is 
A Gift To His Children 
From The Holy Hand Of The Eternal God
Who Is All-Powerful ... All-Knowing
All-Seeing ... Ever-Present!

Please Do Not Give Up On The Border Of Receipt 
Because 
You Stepped In A Coil Of Doubt! 
Pray On Anyhow 
And 
Press On To Receive Your Blessing: 
You Shall Not Be Made Ashamed! 

Hold On To Your Hope In Jesus Christ 
And 
You Will Be Blessed:
It Is The Promise Of Almighty God!


Never Forget That
"No!"
Is Also The Answer To Prayer!
Our Father Knows Best!
