VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: 16 11: Imagine That!

KJV Psalms 16:11
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

The King James Bible Came Out In The Year 1611
And 
What Do We See In Said King James Bible In Psalm 16 Verse 11!?! 

A Sure Promise And A Can't-Fail Blessing! 

Will You Dare To Take Hold of The Gift Of The Sure Word
Sure Promise
And 
Sure Blessings Which Our Dear Lord Gives To Us!?! 

Will You Believe The Word
Trust The Giver
And 
Embrace  Aka Utilize The Gifts
And 
Take Profit From Your Blessings!?! 

Beloved, 

Please Get Thee Hence Into The Presence Of The Lord Of Life 
And
Find Your Joy 
And
Stay At His Right Side 
To Find True Pleasures With Staying Power 
Aka The Pleasures Which Are Everlasting
As In Don't Fade
Don't Run
Don't Leave A Bitter Taste In Your Mouth
Scars On Your Heart
Nor Bruises On Your Body! 

Our Lord Is Neither Fairy Godfather 
Nor Lying Magician! 

He Is Almighty God 
And 
He Knows What And Provides All That We Need! 

Dear One, 

Please Give Yourself To The Kind King
And 
Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Almighty God's Gifts: "Yes, Lord, I Will Taste And See!"









Beloved, 

We Seriously Need To Wake Up And Smell The Fragrance Du Jour 
Which Causes Our Eyes To Open Wide! 

What Is A Gift!?! 

When A Gift Is Given To You By Your Grand-Parent The Queen 
And 
She Subsequently Dies
Does Her Successor As Family Head Known King 
Have The Right, The Authority
To Evict From Your Personal Property 
And 
"Give" It To Their Own Sibling 
Known Despised With Just Cause!?! 

Brethren, 

Love The Lord Jesus
The True And Faithful King! 

We Serve The Creator-God
The Redeemer-Friend
The Savior-King
The Judge Of All Flesh
Our Only Hope For Glory
And 
He Is Not An Indian-Giver! 

All Of Our Gifts Received From Our God And King Known Holy 
Are Our Own 
To Use Or Misuse, Neglect, Or Reject! 

The Lord Jesus Has Given Unto Us The Gifts Of 
Faith, Truth, Love, Speech
Wisdom, Understanding
Music, Salvation, Justification, And Sanctification
To Name A Few! 

Does The Loving Lord Take These Gifts Away From Us 
When We Offend Him 
By The Exercise Of Our Also Gifted Free Will 
And 
Our Freedom To Choose
And 
Give Them Away To Others 
Who Have More Grossly Offended His Holiness 
Just To Throw His Weight Around 
And 
To Prove Who Is Boss!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Thank Almighty God For His Being Faithful 
And 
For His Invariable Nature
His Steadfast Love
And 
His Constancy And Consistency! 

Remember This ... 

Every Good And Perfect Gift That 
The True And Living Holy God Freely Gives To Us
Satan The Damned Aka The Wannable God
Has A Notable Counterfeit! 

Nothing In This World Happens Because Of Coincidence! 

Read The Signs Of The Times 
Through The Clear And Perfect Lens Of The Holy Scriptures 
And 
Learn Humble Lessons 
Which Testify Of Our Lord's Goodness Which Profits Us Eternally! 

Rejoice And Be Glad That The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
The One True King, Faithful, Gracious, Merciful, And Kind 
Whose Word, Character, And Works Are One! 

Let The Things Of This World Stay With The Worldly-Wise! 

Seek After The Things Of Almighty God Who Promises Us
In The Shed Innocent Blood
The Sure And Secure Expected End! 

Trust In The Lord Always! 

Peace!

Nobody Owes Us A Gift Or A Gift Of Our Choosing!




We Have Surely Lost Our Way! 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus
Why Would We, As Committed Christians, Believe That 
A Free-Will Gift Of Almighty God 
Should Be Returned To The Sender Expressing Our Dissatisfaction 
Because 
It Is Not A Brand Name
It Is Not What We Wanted
And 
It Is Not To Our Taste Since Only Money Excites Us!?! 

Beloved, 

Yes, There Are Gifts That We May Specifically Ask The Lord For 
But
Think Carefully About All The Gifts, Benefits
And 
Blessings That We Have Received Of The Lord 
Without Our Prior Knowledge And Approval!?! 

Was Calvary A Part Of Your Desire Or Aesthetic!?! 

The Cross Was Not By Gucci 
And 
The Holy Spirit Is Not Prada! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Blindly Continue 
In The Despicable, Entitled, Attitude 
Now Being Publicly Expressed
It Is Certain That We Will Not Want Or Accept 
The Now Available Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

It Is Also Certain That We Will Also Roundly Reject 
The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
Because 
They Do Not Come Wrapped 
In A Warhol Or Michelangelo Hand-Drawn Wrapping Paper! 

No One Owes Us A Gift
And For Sure
Nobody Owes A Gift Of Our Own Choosing! 

The Gifts Of God Should Be To Us


"Thank You, Jesus!
Bless You, Lord, For Thinking On Me!" 


The Good And Perfect Gift From God To Us 
Is 
Good And Perfect, As Is, For Us ... Always! 

Let Us Not Behave Like Idolatrous Ingrates 
Treating The Lord's Bounty Like Hog Food! 

Let Us Gladly Accept The Best Of Heaven 
Like We Know That 
We Are The Blessed On Earth! 

Peace!

Remember The Price Paid For Our Peace!




Brethren, 

Be Wise Enough To Care About Others
And 
Care Enough About Others To Care About Yourself 
And 
Your Relationship To And With The Holy God 
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Reliably Informed By The Scripture Of Truth That 
After Jesus Christ Died To Save Us
And 
Ascended To The Father
He Took Captivity Captive
And 
Gave Gifts Unto Men! 

Jesus Took Away Sin's Power To Bind Us Up In Its Thrall 
And 
Gave Us The Power
The Strength
The Gift ... That Unmerited Favor
To Call Upon Saving Grace 
To Obtain Free Mercy And Grace To Help Us 
In Our Time Of Need 
Which Is Every Moment Of Every Day Of Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Never Doubt Pride's Power To Cause Your Downfall 
And
Never Doubt Humility's Ability 
To Lift You Up To The King Of Glory! 

Humility Is A Gift Of God 
And So, Too
Is The Ability To Approach The Throne Of Grace 
To Pray In Faith For Help And Healing With Hope! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget The Price Paid 
For Us To Receive The Promise Of Peace With Almighty God 
And
Everlasting Life In The Paradise Of God! 

Trust The Word! 

Pray, Care ... And Press On! 

Peace!

Dig For Hidden Treasure!




Ponder This ... 

Have You Ever Received 
A Big, Sumptuously Wrapped, And Bow-Decorated Gift Box
And Lifted It Up To Check The Weight
Shaken It To Hear If It Rattled
Checked The Gift Card To See From Whom It Came 
Because 
You May Have Some Cheapskate Friends, Relations, And Acquaintances
And 
Recognizing That It Is From The Generous Benefactor 
Who Always Gives Good And Perfect Gifts
Proceeded To Place That Good Gift 
In A Highly Visible And Well Lighted Corner 
Without Opening It 
Because 
You're Going To Save It For A Rainy Day 
Which Only Comes Twice A Year 
Since You Live In A Desert!?! 

Beloved, 

Salvation Full And Free
Is
The Open And Still Wrapped Gift 
With The Name Of Our Lord Jesus 
Prominently Displayed On The Name Tag 
But
With An Appetizingly-Thick Love Letter Attached Saying: 

"Open Immediately
And
Dig For Hid Treasure
Pearls Of Wisdom
Tried Gold
Healing Balm
Eye Salve
And
A White Robe Of Righteousness
An Over-Comer's Crown
And
Your New Name And Life
In And With Me!" 


Today Is The Day Of Salvation! 

The Book Of Love 
Is 
Given To You To Explore And Experience! 

Open The Gifted, Sure Word Of Almighty God
And 
Line Memory's Hall 
With The Found Treasures Of Goodness 
Harvested From Your Excavations! 

Peace!

Air Of Entitlement!?!





 







The Air Of Entitlement 
Should Be A Gut-Wrenchingly Awful Stench 
In The Nostrils Of The Committed-To-Christ Christian! 

Beloved, 

If You Work For A Paycheck, Expect It! 
If You Pay For An Item Or A Service, Expect It! 
If You Have Neither Worked For 
Nor Paid For The Things That You Desire
Get Wise
And 
Get To Stepping Correctly! 

The Old Expression 
"Take What You Want And Pay For It!" 
Should Be Front And Center 
In The Minds Of Sinners And Saints Alike! 

Jesus Christ Calls All Sinners To His Free-To-All Salvation: 
All Who Accept Will See Trial, Tribulation, Temptation
Peace, Joy, Love, And Blessing
Be Hated Without A Cause
And 
At The Regeneration 
Enjoy Eternal Life! 

Satan Offers To All Sinners
Especially Those Of The Unrepentant Class
His Free-To-All Damnation: 
All Who Accept Will See Fun, Frolic
Thrills, Spills
Trials, Terrors, Toys
Rejection By Both Satan And The Savior
And 
The One-Way Trip To Burning-Bath! 

Dear Ones, 

Anything Worth Having, Costs! 

Think And Take Jesus Christ: 
He Paid All Of Your Costs! 

We Are Not Entitled To Receive Blessings: 
They Are Gifts Graciously Given By Our God! 
Believe And Receive! 

Peace!

YOU ... Of The Royal House Holy-Eternal!







There Is Something Truly Wonderful About The Gifts Given 
And 
The Titles Bestowed Upon Us By Our Lord, God And Kind King
Jesus Christ The Righteous! 

They Are Permanent 
And 
Are Not Taken Away From Us 
Because 
We Looked At Him Cross-Eyed
Did Not Bow Down Before Him Low Enough
Or Did Not Ask His Permission 
To Be A Separate And Unique Individual 
With Needs, Desires, Gifts And Skills 
Which We Are Free-Will-Desirous Of 
Exploring And Exploiting! 

Beloved, 

Earthly Royal Houses 
Give And Take Away Titles, Power And Prestige 
According To The Whim And The Fancy Of The  Monarch 
Who, Being Human-Fickle
Is 
Offended By Any Subordinate's Desire 
To Walk Contrary To The Man-Rules: 
The Free-Will 
And 
Freedom Of Choice Personally Given By Almighty God 
Are Not Permitted To Be Exercised! 

The Lord Christ Gives To Each Of His Creatures 
Free-Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose 
And
The Lord Does Not Take Back 
What He Already Gave To Us 
To Then Give It To Another One Of Us 
Who "Acts Better!" 

What Is Given To Us
Is 
Our Own To Keep And Use
Abuse
Refuse
Or Petulantly Cast Away In A Snit 
After We Act Like Snots! 

No One May Take Your Place
Your Position
Or Your Plot In The Living Kingdom! 

No One Can Give You Their Place, Plot, Or Position! 

You, Me, We, Each, Must Decide For Our Own Selves 
If 
Our Blessings, Benefits, And Bequests From The Lord 
Are Good Enough
Pricey Enough
Or Worth Enough To Us To Receive 
And
Hold ... For Eternity! 

Receiving Your Inheritance In Christ 
Is 
By Your Choice Alone: 
No Pressure Aka No Force Or Favors 
No Enticements Or Inducements Allowed! 

Let No Created Being Rob You Of Your Joy In Jesus! 

You Are Of The Royal House Holy-Eternal: 
Live Like You Belong! 

Peace!

GIFT OF LOVE: Salvation Is FR2E To Me And Thee!





There's The Old Song Which Says: 

"If Salvation Was A Thing That Money Could Buy
The Rich Would Live And The Poor Would Die!" 

There's No Need To Think On This! 

Most Of Us Love Sales 
Especially Those Of The BOGO 
Aka Buy One Get One Free Variety: 
We Enjoy Acquiring Good Stuff At Great Prices! 

Still Others Of Us Love Thrifting
Rummage Sales, Garage, And Car Boot Sales! 

The Point Is That 
This Poor Man Wants A Rock-Bottom Price For His Heart's Desire 
And
If You Are Of The Monied Class
You Desire That Which No One Else Can Afford! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Salvation 
Came At Infinite Cost 
And
Is Available To Each One Of Us Individually
Rich Or Poor
FR2E!

The Father Gave Us His Son
And
The Son Gave His Life To Save Us!

There Is A Spanner In The Works ...

The Big Able Problem, Though
Is 
That Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
And 
Many Of Us Are Of The Mind That Says

"Free To Me Is Cheap 
And Cheap Things Are Not Good 
And I Won't Accept 
What I Can't Physically See And Profit From!" 

The Lord's Ways
Are Not Our Ways
And
The Lord's Thoughts
Are Not Our Thoughts!

Oh, That We Would Spit Pride And Doubt 
Into The Fires Of Hell Where They Belong 
And
Accept The Priceless Gift 
Freely Given To All By Our Creator
The King Of Love And Glory! 

Pride And Doubt Build A Sinking Ship! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Do Not Permit The Monied Vanity Class 
To Stay Your Needy Hand From 
Accepting The Unspeakable Gift From 
The Loving Heart Of The Son Of God
The Savior Of Every Man! 

Salvation Has An "Accept By" Date: 
Be Wise For Your Self! 

Peace! 


Buying
The Free-To-All Gifts
Generously, Graciously, Given
By The Eternal, Holy, Faithful God
Is
An Impossibility!

GRACE IS THE PERFECT GIFT: Return Unto The Lord!







Marvelous Grace 
Is 
Perfect For Whatever Ails Us 
Because 
It Is Alive When It Leaves The Heart Of God To Strengthen Us 
And 
Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

Dead Things Can't Help Living People 
So Let No One Fool You 
Be They Man-Flesh Or Evil Spirit! 

Beloved, 

Though Presently Corrupted ... And Corruptible
We Were Made In The Image Of The Living God 
And 
After His Likeness! 

As Our Sworn Enemies
Satan And His Fallen Angels Are Working Non-Stop 
To Cause Us Not To Regain What Was Lost 
By Mother Eve Being Deceived 
And 
Father Adam Being Disobedient! 

Not One Of Us Can Enter The Father's House 
Without Becoming As Jesus Christ Is! 

We Must Know Jesus Christ The Same Way That He Knows Us! 

Our Beloved Savior, Jesus 
Paid The Infinite Price Aka His Life For Our Lives! 

He Took All Of Our Sin Into Himself 
So That We, By Willing And Free Choice
May Take His Free Gift Of Salvation As Our Very Own! 

Think About It ...

The Joy Of Receiving A Wrapped Gift 
Is 
Enthusiastically Opening It
And 
Finding That It Is Our Heart's Desire
The Very Thing We Needed
Plus A Lil' Something Extra 
And
Totally Unexpected! 

Grace Is Glorious: 
Almighty God Is Good! 

Glorious Gifts Are Given: 
Jesus Christ Shed His Innocent Blood! 

Take The Blessing: 
Rise Above Sin's Destructive Flood! 

Without Truth, There Is No Grace: 
Seek Jesus Christ The King! 
Choose To Wash In The Blood That Cleanses
And
Boldly Dare ToPursue Peace With Jesus Christ The Lord!

Faithfully Speak The Truth!







Never, Ever, Feel Guilty For
Ashamed Of 
Or Sorry About 
Speaking The Truth! 

Truth Is Of The Eternal God 
And
Our Faithfully Speaking The Truth 
Provides Us With The Protection Of The Living God!

But ... You Ask
What About All Those Persons Who Spoke The Truth For The Lord 
And Were Either Persecuted, Imprisoned Or Killed 
For Doing The Lord's Bidding!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Has Told Us That Our Ways Are Not His Ways
And
Our Thoughts Are Not His Thoughts 

And

He Has Promised Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us! 

The Lord Opens Locked Prison Cells! 
The Lord Calls Forth The Dead From Their Dusty Beds 
And
He Promises His Peace To His Persecuted Saints 
Even As He Asks Us To Be Of Good Cheer 
Because 
He Has Overcome The World! 

Ponder It ... 

If You Are Living In Comfort 
With The Worldly Wise And The Ungodly
You Will Sincerely Need To Reevaluate Your Christianity 
And
Take Corrective Measures! 

If You Are Being Persecuted
Rejoice 
And
Also Consider That The Lord Also Instructed Us 
To Change Locations When Persecution 
Is 
Dogging Our Every Move! 

Choose To Obey Almighty God Rather Than Man! 
Let The Saving Truth Be Your Faithful Guide! 


A Charge To Keep ... 

Don't Look Back With Vain Longing!
Look Forward With Blessed Hope!
The Creator Of The Universe
Is
Your Savior
And
For Daily Living
He Daily Gives Faith To Cope!

Everything Gifted To Us By Our Savior
Is
A Gift Freely Given
So Dare To Be Greedy, Beloved
And
Take Free Faith
And
Use It
And
At The Appointed Time
Enjoy Eternal Living!

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

There Is No Faith Without Truth!

TEARS TO CLEANSE: Laughter To Heal!








Two Of Our Gifts Are Simple Ones: 
Tears ... To Cleanse 
And
Laughter ... To Heal! 

Why, Then, Are So Many Of Us Stressed Beyond Measure 
And
Stressing Out Others Beyond Reason!?! 

Why Are We So All-Fired Concerned 
About Who Should Or Could See Us Crying!?! 

Don't You Know That Laughter 
Won't Cause Your Face To Crack!?! 

Look At A Baby! 
It Is All Angry 
And 
In A Snap It Is Bawling Its Head Off! 
Mummy Or Daddy Holds Him Close
Utters Soothing Words Of Comfort 
And Soon
It Is Either Laughing Its Head Off For Joy 
Or Sleeping Peacefully 
Unbothered By The Past Upset! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Of Love, Our Jesus, Does That For Us 
So Let Us Cry Unto Him 
And 
By The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit's Working
Let Us Rest Having Been Refreshed! 

The Gifts Given
Are A Blessing ... Never A Curse
And
We ... Being Grateful
Should Freely Imbibe
As One Suffering A Great, Even Consuming, Thirst!

Let Us Laugh As We See Butterflies Dancing
Dust Bunnies Spinning
Leaves Waving
And 
Even As We Hear The Beating Of Our Own Hearts 
Telling The Story That 
We Still Have The Breath Of Life From Our God 
Which Makes Us Each One A Living Soul 
Able To Use The Daily Gift Of Faith 
Which Causes Us To Press On
Despite The Challenges
To The Great And Glorious Day That Heralds Peace! 

Our Lord Hears And Cares For Us! 
Let's Care For Ourselves 
By Using The Gifts Graciously Given With Gusto! 
Cry, Laugh
And 
Pray A Lot!

Walking Wobbly Around Jesus Christ For The Present!?!

 

 




We, Each, Need To Ask Ourselves A Very Bold Question 
And
Answer It Baldly: 

"If I Am Trusting Jesus Christ The Lord For My Soul's Salvation 
Which I Believe In For An Eternity Which I Cannot Comprehend
Why Am I Not Totally Trusting This Same Jesus 
To Take Care Of Me And My Concerns In This Life 
With Which I Am Intimately Familiar And Presently At Home!?!" 

Beloved, 

We Need To Do Better 
And
Be Better In Our Walk With The Lord! 

Jesus Christ Says:

 "Trust Me And Obey!
Lean On And Learn From Me!
Take Your Daily Gift Of Daily Faith 
And
Use It To Take Me At My Living Word!
Believe Me For Your Present 
And
Walk With Me Toward Your Future!" 

But

We Are Believing Him For Our Future 
And 
Walking Wobbly Around Him For The Present 
And 
The Presents Which We Should Be Eagerly Waiting To Open! 

Take Heed ... 

If We Don't Trust Jesus Christ With Our Present-Day Needs
It Is Sure That We Will Have 
No Future Pursuits With Him In Eternity 
Because 
Doubters Cannot Receive 
The Promised Gifts Of The Faithful Saints! 

We Must Do Better! 

Let's Walk In Faith 
And
Stop Running Around With Blind-Man Sight! 
Jesus Christ Is Faithful: 
Wholly Trust Him!

Don't Rob Yourself!







Who Are You!?! 

Are You A One-Talent
Two-Talent 
Or A Five-Talent Servant In The Service Of Our King!?! 

Are You ... Like The One-Talent Servant
Not Even Trying To Work 
But
Are Condemning Your Lord 
And 
Burying Your Talent In The Cold Earth Like It's A Dead Rat!?! 

Are You Like The Two And Five-Talent Servants 
Who Multiply Their Talents 
By Willing Service 
And
Giving To Their Lord Double His Investment Upon His Return!?! 

Are You Being Wise And Faithful 
And
Being Blessed For Having Trust In Your Lord 
And
Embracing The Confidence That He Reposed In You 
By Doing Well In Your Work For Him!?! 

Beloved, 

None Of Our Lord's Workers 
Should Be An Unprofitable Servant! 

The Lord Our God ... Our Creator
Who Knows Us Each Better Than We Know Our Own Selves
Gives Us Talents According To Our Ability 
So Don't Look, Or Stop Looking, At What Others Have 

And

Stop Judging The Living God 
By Your Corrupt Thinking And Innate Laziness:
We All Suffer From The Same Disease!

 We Are Free Agents With Freedom 
And 
Free Will! 
We Know Right And Wrong: 
Because Of Sin We Know Good And Evil! 

Please Don't Short-Change Aka Rob Yourself! 
Please Deny Sinful-Self 
And
Choose To Be A Saint Of God In This Age 
Using Your Gifts, Talents, For Our Lord! 
The Fields Are Ripe For Harvest
But
The Available Workers Are Few!

Be Warned ... 

Like It ... Or Not
Accept It ... Or Not
Whatever Talent We Receive From Our Lord
- Improved Or Not - 
Must Be Accounted For In The Judgment
So Do Yourself ... Your Soul ... A Favor
And
Willingly Choose To Know Your Gifts
And
Use And Improve ... Increase ... Them 
In The Service Of The Great King Blessed Forever! 

I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Dare To Work Wise Until Jesus Christ Comes! 
The "Well Done Good And Faithful Servant!" 
Awaits You, And Me, Too! 


Every Child Of Almighty God
Every Servant Of Almighty God
Has A Work To Do For Almighty God!
