ACCOUNT: Closed!?! + PRAYER: Thank You In Advance For The Blessings, Dear Father!

Did You Know
That The Commercial Bank Reserves The Right
To Close Any Account ... For Any Reason!?!

No, I Didn't Know That!
Why Would They Do Such A Thing?!

Forget That!
Do You Know That If The Lord God Almighty Did That
People Would Live Differently?!

He Does
And
People Don't!

How Can You Say That?!

Because It Is True!

Can You Prove That?!

Sure!
That's An Easy One!

Okay. Convince Me!

No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour
When The Son Of Man Shall Come!
And
You Do Not Know The Hour Of Your Personal Visitation!

I'm Still Waiting!

Do You Know When You're Going To Die!?!

Of Course Not!

Do You Know When Jesus Christ Is Returning To This Earth!?!

Of Course Not!?!

Did You Think That All Those People
Who Died In
The World Trade Center
The Japan Tsunami
The Pulse Night Club Shooting In Florida
The Christians In Church In Egypt
The People In Grenfeld Tower In England
And
The Concert Goers In Las Vegas
Knew That Their Accounts Were Effectively Closed
In The Instant That They Died!?!

No, But ...!

We Know That Death Is Promised To All Mankind
Because Of The Sin Of Our Fore-Parents In Eden's Garden
So, I Ask You
Has Man Changed Since The Sentence Was Passed!?!
Have People Changed Since The Last Tragedy!?!

No, They Have Not!

Do You Know How Many People Have Died 
By Fire, Tornado, War, Storms And Shootings 
Since We Started This Conversation!?!

I Couldn't Possibly Know That!?!

Man Must Give An Accounting To The Eternal God
For All That He Does In The Flesh!
There Is No Purgatory!
There Is No Do-Over
And
There Is No Second Chance 
To Get The First Chance Right!

Man Needs To Seize The Opportunity
To Get Out From Under Sin's Blight!
We Must Against That Wicked Satan
In Jesus Christ's Matchless And Holy Name
Valiantly Fight!

You Know What?!

What?!

You're Right!

PRAYER:

Loving Father,
Most Holy God
We Come Before As True
And
Committed Believers!
Please Protect Us
Against The Wiles Of Satan
The Known Gross And Murdering god-Fraud!

Father,
We Are Little Children
Needing Your Blessed Guidance Today
And
We Come Before You, Ready
Willing
Please Make Us Able Always
To Do Whatever To Us You Say!

Please Firm Our Resolve, Dear Father!
Please Help Us Ever To Walk In The Light!
Please Bless Us With All Blessing
So That The Heart Of The Lord Christ
We Shall Surely Delight!

Grant Unto Us Your Gracious Favor!
Please Grant Unto Us Sweet Peace
And
Blessed Rest
And
Bless Lord, We Beseech You
To Desert Known Sin
And
With Contrite Hearts
Our Transgressions
Our Iniquities
With Alacrity
To Humbly Confess!

We Love You, Lord!
You Love Us!
We Need You, Lord!
You Are Our Only Hope!
We Trust You, Lord!
We Have The Faith Of Christ Jesus
And
It Is Our Renewed Heart's Desire
To Live Forever In Glory
With The Saved
The Redeemed
The Glorified
The Immortalized
Those Purchased Ones Faithful
Those Children Of The Father
The Family Called Eternally Blessed!

Thank You For Hearing Our Prayer
And
Thank You In Advance
For Granting These Few Petitions
Because We Ask All
In The Matchless Name
Of
The Lord Jesus Christ
Our Creator Savior
Redeemer
And
Soon Returning King!
AMEN.

Thank You, Father

For Me

Jesus Christ Paid It All!
I Am Not Worthy
So, Father

Father,
I Surrender!
I Am Forsaking Sin!
Help Me To Do So Daily
As I Am Through This Life
This Vale Of Tears
Walking!

Let Not My Life Be Of Words 
Good Only For Talking!

Help Me By Faith
To Walk With
To Walk True
To Jesus Christ My Lord
And 

Help Me
Please Help Me
With Him Ever Always
To Be In One Accord!

I Desire To Live Forever With My Lord!

Let Grace Be My Even-Song! 
Let Grace Be Afternoon Tea! 
Let Grace Be My Morning Prayer
And
Ever And Always

Sufficient For Me!

I Love You, Father!
I Recognize My Need
And
I Make My Petition

With Unfeigned Lips
In Jesus Christ's Holy
And
Matchless Name!

Help Me To Salvation
To Secure My Grip!
AMEN.

TRUTH... IS!


The Truth Shall Set Us Free!
No Color
No Spin
Truth Is And ... Done!
Truth Is Not A Fun Run!

Truth Hurts
Truth Helps
Truth Heals
Truth From The Living Book
Is Lamp
AND
Light
AND
All Things Reveal!
Truth Utilized
Will Get One For Heaven Sealed!

Truth Is A Cloak
Truth Is Armour
Truth Comes Of The Living God
Truth Is Not
- Cannot -
Be A Colored Banner
Painted
By The Wily Fraud - Don't Him Laud!
He Will Never Be God The Lord!

Truth Is The Door
Truth Is A Bed
Truth Is Bread
Truth Is The Shield
Protection From The Darts
From The Likes Of Men
Whose Consciences Are
Dead! Dead! Dead!

Truth
The Real Utterance That Hallows ... Our Way!
Truth
The Key From The Lord
That Says:

Repentant Sinners
For Their Own Sin
Shall Not Pay!

Jesus Prayed
Jesus Obeyed
Jesus For Our Sin Completely Paid
Jesus Did Not
In Death Stay!

Jesus Got Up
Jesus Returned
To The Heavenly Way
Where He
Word
Truth
Light
Life
The Only Way
Waits ... Interceding
Pleading His Own Blood
To Make Sure That We
- Faithful
Obedient
Enduring Believers -
Have A Seat At The Welcome Table
When Comes
The Great Celebration Day!
He's Soon Coming Our Way!

Truth Seals
Truth Feels
Truth  ... To A Hopeful Child Of God
IS
The Only Deal
- No Gamble -
AND
Is Worth
Everything
In This Life
Forsaking!
Let No Mere Man
Nor Devil Set You To Quaking!

Do You Do Truth?
Or
Is Truth
To You
The Broken Tooth
To Be Patched
Detached
To Be Replaced
Like Roof Thatch?!

God Restores!
Jesus Christ - The Door
To Heaven - 
Intercedes
AND
Waits! 
Angels Guard! 
AND 
The Holy Spirit Comforts
AND 
We Have With Eternity
- For Good Or For Ill -
A No-Cancellation Date!


Do You Relate?
Or
Do You ... Man Skeptical
By Dark Deeds
Speculate
Unmindful
Not Caring
What Is Thy Fate?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SIN + PRAYER: Father, I Am A Sinner!




Sin Is A Feisty Liar!
It Indulges In Grand Deceit!
It Walks As One Friendly
BUT
Is A Veritable Sneak!

Sin Likes The Game 
"What If ... ?!"
It Likes
"Here - Let's Pretend ...!"
It Likes To Indulge Bait And Switch
AND
A Fly
It Will Not Offend!

Sin Likes To Play
Dress UP!!
AND
DRESS DOWN!!
Sin Likes To Makes A Good Show
AND
Whatever It Takes 
To Break You
Sin Is Always Set To Let Go!

Be It
Black And White
Technicolor
Cartoon
Video Short
Full Feature Film
Sin Has A Place For Everybody!
Did I Tell You
That Plain Sin Operates
The Local Welcome In Inn?!

Sin Is The Local Doctor!
Sin Is The Local Priest!
Sin Is A Chameleon
That Offers All And Everybody
Free 
AND
Focused 
Stress-Busting Free Relief!

Sin Paints Itself As A Paragon Of Virtue
Giving To Each Man According To Felt Need
BUT
Indulging In Sin Is
Like Crack Cocaine
Mixed With Grand Prix Speed!

Sin Invites One
For A Little Test Run
Just A Trial
One And Done
BUT
What The One-Time Sinner Does Not Know
Is That Sin Is A Freeloading Pimp
That
- Left Unchecked -
Turns One-Timers
Into Full-time Free-Basting Whores!

Now ...

You May Not Like
That Last Analogy
BUT
I Encourage You
To Look Back At Your Own Life
AND
Magnifying-Glass-Truthful Be!
I Did
AND
Believe Me
It Wasn't Anything Called Pretty!

No One Commits One Sin!
No One Keeps Sinning Small-Time
For
Unchecked By The Soul's Savior
Sin Is An Accelerator
On A Banana Peel
On An Oiled 
AND
Mirror-Polished
Zip Line!

Let No One Fool You!
Man Cannot Control The Will To Sin
For One Taste Of Sin
Releases
The Bull In The China Shop 
Within!

BUT ...

There Is Hope!
Man Has The Creator
The Redeemer
The Savior
The Soul-Lover
The Friend
The Substitute
That Waged War
AND
Won That Fight
By A Plain
"It Is Written ...!"
Aka
"Thus Says The Living God ...!"

The True Friend
Exposes
The Real Enemy!
The True Friend
Conquered
Sin
AND
Death And Hell
Its Progeny
AND
The True Friend
Made A Straight Path
- Narrow -
For Those Who Would From Sin
Sinning
AND
Hell-Bent Hell-bound Sinners
Walk Away
AND
All It Takes
Is A Little Faith In The Provision
AND
A Heartfelt Prayer:

Father In Heaven
From Sin
Take Me Away!
I Am A Sinner
But
I Don't Want To Walk In That Way!

I Believe Your Word Of Promise!
I Believe That You Are True!
Save Me!
I Am Dying In Sin
But
I Want To Walk With You!

Grant Me The Promised Victory
Over Dread Sin
In This Very Moment
Right Now
Today!
Grant Me The Power
In Jesus' Name
To Walk In Faith
No Matter The Matter
The Day
Nor The Hour!
AMEN.


Brethren,
A Dressed-Up Sin Is Still Sinful
Still Ugly!
A Dressed-Up Sinner No Less!
Unconfessed Sin
By The Unrepentant Sinner
IS
The Unforgiven Sin
Of
The Unforgiven Sinner
Which Equates To
The Unblessable Mess!

Call Sin What It Is -
Transgression Of The Law
Of The Holy God
AND
Give It Its Just Reward
By Turning It
AND
Its Purveyor
Over To
The True Living
Able Available
Holy Righteous One Eternal God
Who Has The
"It Is Finished!"
For The Wily Satan
That Unregenerate Fraud!

Sin Is No Joke
So Stop Clowning Around With It!
Jesus Christ Saves One From Sin
Never In Sin
So
Let It Go!

Say To Sin
"No!"
AND
Let Christ 
In You
By You
AND
For You
Really, REALLY, Show
AND
Let Us Bask
- DAILY -
In Heavenly Love's 
Imperishable Glow!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SITUATIONS : Win-Win!

I Heard Them Talking, I Tell You!
They Wanted - And I Quote -

"To Hide A Multitude Of  ... Sins!"

I Was Shocked Out Of My Gourd!
I Was Stunned Beyond All Toleration!
I Was Peeved With Their Philosophy
And
I Was Amazed At Their Temerity!

Tee, hee!

Why Are You Laughing?!

Stop That!
This Is Serious!

Of Course, It Is Serious
But
I Think You Misunderstood!

Really?!

Yes! Really!
Do You Know James?

James Who?!

Gracious Me!
The Book Of James
In The King James Bible?!

Oh, That  ... .

Yes, That!

What About It?!

Let's Take A Look At James Chapter 5  ...

... For What, Pray Tell?!

We Have To Find Out
How To Hide
A Multitude Of Sins, Do We Not?!

Are You Crazy?!
The Bible Would Never Tell You Hide Sins!
It Says, And I Quote 
1 John 1:9:
We AreTo Confess And Repent Of Our Sins!
We Are Not To Hide Sin
Because
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin Unforgiven!

Let's Go There Anyhow!

I Don't Believe You ...!

James 5 Verse
Verse
Verse 19 and Verse 20!

... Converteth The Sinner
Error  ... His Way
Save ... Soul
... Death
Hide ..  Multitude Of Sins!

Lord, Have Mercy!
It's Real!
It Really Says
"Hide!"
But, Why?!
That Seems Just, Just ... WRONG!!

You Misunderstand!
That "Hide" Does Not Mean
Keep Out Of The Knowledge Of God!
It Means To Cause Them
To Be Set Aside
As In
The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Because  ...

See The Word Converteth?!

Yes ...!?

Conversion Is Holy Spirit-Doings

AND
It Starts With Hearing
Believing
Doing The Right
Aka Confessing And Repenting Of The Evil
AND
Asking The Lord
To Take Control Of Our Lives

AND
Our Willingness
To Follow Truth

AND
Again, Do Right!

Man Cannot Save The Soul From Death!
That Is Almighty God-Doings!
This Whole Idea Is About
Reaching Out To God
For Salvation
AND
Receiving It!!

Remember,
The Apostle Paul Said:

"I Planted, Apollos Watered
AND GOD
Giveth The Increase!"

In Love, We Show A Person Their Error
Which We Have Accepted In Our Selves Is Error
Against God
AND
He - Believing The Word Of Truth To Be True -
Turns ... Unto Jesus Christ
So That He May Be Saved!

It's Just Like ... Like The Wedding Vows  ...

"... Forsaking All Others ...!"

Forsake Sin: Take Salvation!
Take Salvation: Forsake Sin!
It's All Win-Win!

I Get It!

We Do Our Part - Forsake Sin!
God Does His Part - Forgive Sin!

Yes, But ...!

Oh, Lord!
The Proverbial But!!

All I Was Going To Say Is:

Do Not Indulge 
In The Sin Of Presumption
In Your Forsaking Of Sin
So That You "May Get" Forgiveness!
You Cannot Maliciously (Presumptuously) Sin
Believing That God Will Protect You
From You Folly!

Forsaking Sin Is Just That!

Hello, Sin - GOODBYE!
Do Not Look Back!

We Are Not To Be Irreverent
AND
Tempt God
For, Indeed
That Would Be Gross Folly
AND
Would Place Us Squarely 
In The Devil's Encampment!
Nothing There Can Be Considered Jolly!

Further More
To Persistently Continue Indulging In Sin 
- By Malice -
Will Assuredly Leave One
To Be Branded By The Living God
As A Reprobate
AND

You Will Soon Hear:

"Leave Him To His Idols!"

AND
I Know That You Do Not Want To Go There!

Okay. Okay!
To Forsake Sin
Is To Turn Away
Never Looking Back!
They Are Hidden By God! 
Amen To That!

So  ...

Forsake The Devil!
Look To Jesus Christ The Lord!
Hold His Mighty Hand
AND
Head Faithfully
Unto The Great Reward!

Imagine That ...!
Hide A Multitude Of Sins ...!
Jesus Saves
So
Sin And Satan Have Got To Go!

Amen, My Friend!
Amen!

Do Not Try To Hide Your Sin
Because
It Will Be Found Out!
Give Them All To Jesus
For
His Hiding Means
Never To Be Seen
Ever Again
And
Never Chargeable
To Your Personal Account
Ever Again!
Hide And Abide In ... Jesus!
