HAPPY SABBATH + JESUS' PEACE: Don't Give Away What You Can't Purchase!








Oh, To Be At Perpetual Rest! 

There Is Temptation From The Enemy Called Self ... Within 
And 
There Is Molestation From The Adversary, Satan ... Without! 
Sin Knocks At The Heart's Door Where We Live
And
Whenever And Wherever We Walk About!
Guard Your Heart!

Are You Tired ... And Weary
Ever Running From Known Foes!?! 
Then Rest Ye In Christ Jesus 
Who Does Your Every Sorrow Know! 

Remember That This Life Is Temporary
That Jesus Has Already Won Victory For Us 
Over The Known Adversary Our Rabid Foe 
And
Dare To Rest In The Love Of Him Who Calls Us
In Him Whose Feelings For Us Do Constantly Show! 

In Jesus Is Rest! 
In Jesus Is Our Present Peace! 
In Jesus Is Peace That Passes Human Understand 
And
Rest For The Weary-Of-Sin Soul! 

In Jesus, We Have Rest For Body, Mind And Spirit! 
We May Labor By Jesus' Faith That Cannot Fail 
And 
Dare To Longingly Look For The Rest That 
Is 
Known Eternal!
Soon Will Be Consumed That Damned Enemy Infernal! 

Trust The Lord And Obey! 
Live For Jesus And Pray! 
Walk Wisely 
And 
Dare To Look Up 
For He Who Calls You Is Coming: 
He Holds The Judgment Book 
And 
Our Great Reward! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Yield To What Can't Prosper Your Soul! 
Write Good In Your Book So That In The Great Day 
You Will Emerge As Gold! 
Dare To Trust The Lord Through The Eyes Of 
Living, Enduring, Working-By-Love Faith 
And
Find Sweet Rest In 
And 
On The Eternal Rock 
Firm And Secure Through Time 
And 
For Eternity To Come! 

Peace For Us Is Free
But
It Was Costly
To Our Almighty God
To Jesus Christ The Lord:
Don't Give Away
What You Can't Purchase!
Give Heed To The Holy Spirit!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: ANXIETY!?!

Do Not Use The Cover Of
Physical Anxiety
To Indulge In Sin!
Your Life Is Not Blessed Thereby
And
You Shall Not Be Permitted To Live
In The Beautiful Land
Beyond The Sky!

Why Are You So Easily Discouraged!?!
Why Are Your Feelings So Easily Hurt!?!
Don't You Understand That In Getting Home To Jesus
We Shall Have Trials
Tribulations
Tests Of Faith!?!

It Is Not A Cake-Walk!
It's A Gauntlet
And
We Must Cooperate With The Holy Spirit
If 
We Are To See The Accomplishment
- By The Holy God Faithful -
Of The Good Work!

We Are Not To Walk Like Unbelievers
Nor Dress As They Do
And
Talk
Of Looking Back
Going Back
Giving Up
Running Away
When We Have The Holy God
And
All Heaven
Rooting For And Working Unstintingly
To Help Us Achieve ... In Flying Colors
The Promised And Great Reward!

Know The Right ...

You Have The Preserved Word: Prayerfully Read It!
You Have The Access Of Prayer: Enter In Without Fear!
You Have The Holy Spirit's Comfort: Rest Easy In Peace!
You Have Holy Angels For Companions:
Pick Up Your Heels!
These Excellent
Excelling In Strength Companions
Will Not Your Side Leave!

And Never Forget ...

You Have Gifts Of
Mercy, Grace And Faith
Each According To The Day That You Will Meet!

Get Up!
Stand Up ... And Be Counted For Christ!
Do Not Let Your Life Be Wasted!
Give Your Anxiety To Jesus!
Do Not In Sorrow Indulge In Vain Sleep!
Give Your Anxiety To Jesus
And
He Will Give You Calming Peace
Forever To Keep!

Get Thee Hence
Unto
Christ Jesus
And
Your Daily Rations Reap!

Strike Against Carnal Self The Killing Blow!

There's A Glorious Day Soon Coming
No Cloudy Veil Between
When All The Saints And Angels
Together Shall Be Seen!

I'm A Soldier
A Believer In The Holy Cross Of Jesus!
I'm A Saint Of God And Christ
And I Shall Be Among Those Flying
Unto The Lord's Everlasting Life!

Are You, Brother, A Believer!?!
Are You, Sister, A True Saint!?!
Are You Washed In The Blood Of Jesus
Or Are You Still Bearing Unconfessed Sin's Taint!?!

Don't You Know You Have A Friend In Jesus!?!
Don't You Know His Spirit Of Truth Sets Us Free!?!
Don't You Care That He Died To Save You
And That He Has A Share Of His Bounty For Thee!?!

Brother, Sister
Father, Mother
Friend, Acquaintance
Even Those Called Foes
Jesus Christ The Creator, Righteous
Beckons You Walk Forward
For He Is The One Called The Door!

He Is The Way
The Truth, Our Life!
He Is Who Protects Us 
Against The Carnal Strife
And If You Will Be Among The Blood-Washed Brethren
You Must At His Holy Feet Bow
And Lay Your Heavy Burden Down
If You Will Wear The Golden Crown!

Trust The Word!
Believe The Promises!
Live For The Lord!
Walk With Him In Accord
And You, Faithful
Singing, Praising, Rejoicing
Shall Join The Redeemed Throng Flying
Unto The Great Reward!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Why Me, Lord!?! AND Points To Ponder





If All Things Work For Good
For Lord-Lovers
How Can We Say
In The Sorrow Of The Soul
Why Did God Do "THIS" To Me?!?!

Stop For A Moment And Think ...

The Word Of God Says 
He Has A Thousand Ways To Provide For aka
Save His Children
So, Since The Promises Are Sure
And 
The Living God Opens And Closes Doors
Please ... Trust Him 
Who Is Love And Life 
And
Who Is Also Health And Cure!!

A Word To The Wise
From The One Wise
Is 
Enough To Keep Us Moving Ever Forward
Never Looking Back
Because 
To Look Back Is To Blight
To Turn One Into A Salt Lick
And
We Know A Salt Lick Is Consumed
Because
It Has Nothing In Itself To Protect Itself
And Cannot Against Salt-Lickers
And
Salt-Lick Kickers, Fight!



  

Have We Ever Well And Truly Considered
The Real Differences Between
Lamp And Light?

A Lit Lamp Carries The Light!
The Light Provides Sight!
Sight Signals The Way Clear
And
We Walk Unto Jesus
Who Does Our Sin Bear!

Walking In The Light Makes The Way Clear
And
Light Keeps At Bay All The Predators
Who Would For Life And Limb
Make Us Tremble In Fear!

Truth Is ...

A Lamp Without Oil
Is 
A Decorative Piece!
A Lamp Containing Oil, When Lit
Brings The Traveller
The Reader
The Searcher
The Seeker
Illumination ... By Darkness Relief!

A Broken Lamp
Is 
Not A Help But A Hindrance
Because
Its Broken Pieces Do Cut The Flesh Of The Unwary
Giving Us Wounds That 
Only The Great Physician
Can Bind Up
Seal
Heal Up!

Please Do Not Break Your Lamp
Neither By Accident Nor On Purpose
By Deliberately, Contemptuously
From The Oil Well Eternal Walking Away!

Accidentally On Purpose
Breaking Your Lamp
Says Clearly Callously
That You Are Are Walking On The Path Called
Own Way!

Own Way Has Self-Pay
Life And Fire And Accident Insurance
With
An Accidental Death And Dismemberment Rider
Which Has
The Eternal Consequence Deductible!

Where Does One That Premium Pay?!

In Your Head
In Your Heart
In Your Hand
Wherever You Elevate Self
And
Denigrate The Holy Son Of Man!

Man Cannot Keep Himself Alive
Nor Can He Ransom Himself
By Purchasing Useless Indulgences
Sold As Grounded On Earth
Bound Up In Heaven
Rainbow Pot Of Gold
Building God's Kingdom Treats
But Are Actually 
Satan-Inspired
Encouraging Men To Be Careless Of
Their Soul's Salvation
Lies!

Lamps And Light Are No Small Matter!
Lamp-Light
Is
Life-Light Illumination
To Keep Repentant Sinners
Out Of The Fire And Brimstone Lake Of Fire
Aka The Self-Lit
I Prefer Eternal Death Funeral-Bier
Pyre!

Light Your Lamp
And
Catch The Son's Rays!
Open The Preserved Word
Walk In Its Light
And
With Assurance Dismiss The Malicious Goat-Herder
And
The Menacing Goat-Herd!

CONSIDER THIS:

Almighty God Is Too Wise To Err
And
Too Good To Withhold From Us
Those Things That Are For Our Good
And
Do Not Forget That If It For Our Good
It Will Be To God's Glory!
Of Course, We Must Be Walking Uprightly
According To The Promise! 

Brethren,
Whatever We Do
Let Us Pray In Faith
Trusting The Eternal God In Hope
Walking Not By Sight
Nor
Leaning Upon Our Own Understanding!

Let Us Not Be Double Minded
Indulging In
I Think He Will!
I Know He Won't!
Probably He Will!
Perhaps He Won't!
You Will Get Nothing From The Living God
With That Mindset
Because
Doubt Has Its Own Stream Of Reward!

Please Hold Firmly The Sacred Word 
And
Stand Faithfully Upon The Word's Word
Knowing
That If We Faint Not
Our Unfailing Trust Will Be Gloriously Rewarded!

Eyes = Lies
Ears = Fear
Trembling = Doubt
Hope = Faith
Work = Love
And
We Know Of A Surety That
The God Of Love
Reigns
Rightly And Righteously
In Glorious Heaven Above!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONVICTION: Conversion!?! + PRAYER: I Will To Reach Home, Lord!

The Soul Convicted Needs To Walk To Conversion
But
The Journey Is Not One Called Easy!
The Soul Unconverted Likes Things Easy
Because Then
He Could Do As He Was Well Pleased!
... Sorta!

The One Convicted Knows That Something In His Life Was Wrong!
The One Convicted Knows That With Conversion
He Would Against Sin
Be Bold And Strong
But
The Struggling Convicted Does Not Want To Cross The Bar
Because Then
He Would Have To Close Willing Willful Sin's Door
Which, For Him
Had Always Hung Kindly And Welcomingly Ajar!
... Supposedly!

Nobody Has To Walk Through Known Sin's Door!

I'll Go Further And Say That
Nobody Has To Eat Confusion Out Of Babel's Shiny Glass Jar!
Nobody Has To Stay In A Pickle
Drunk
At Do What Thou Wilt's Grill And Bar
Because, Then
The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ Will Be
For That Poor Soul
A Sacrifice ... Wasted!

Ah, The Fruits Of Salvation That He Could Have Tasted!

Truth Be Told ...

Conversion Is A Corner
Where
Decisions Must Be Made!
Conversion Is A Bed
Where
A New Birth Will Take Place!
Conversion, Friends
Is 
A New Life
With Disgrace Removed
From The Saved Child's Face!

As You Well Know ...

Giving Birth Ain't Easy!
Labor And Pain Are Involved!

Giving Birth Ain't Easy
And
It's Messy!
You Are Praying ... A Lot
And
Crying ... Real Hard
And
Sweating ... Copiously
Is
Always Involved!
Sometimes 
Even The Inappropriate Bad Word, Bad Word
For Some People
Is
Decidedly Involved!

Like It Or Not ...

You Can't Keep In The Baby
So You Might As Well Give Birth!

If You Accept That Jesus Christ Is Calling
You Might As Well Accept That There Is
The New Birth!
The Brand New Life!

Indeed! 
It Is A Necessity
For
The Issue Of The Rancidness And Rapacity Of Sin
And
The Efficacy Of The Delicacy That Is Salvation
Must
- Once And For All Time -
Be Resolved!

A Man Can't Eat Rancid!

I Don't Want To Be Unfair-Sin's Prey!

With That Said
Living In Conversion 
Would Obviously Be In Order, Right!?!

Sure Looks That Way!

But De Pain! De Pain!

The Growth In Grace!

Narrow Roads On Hard Shoes!

Gospel Of Truth Make Hard Shoes Loose!

Deprivation And Denial!

For Your Sins
Jesus Christ The Righteous Suffered
At An Unfair Trial!

Better Conversion
Than The Eternal God's Wrath In Golden Vials!

Repent, Brethren
And
Thereby
Negate Your Base Denials!
Be Baptised
And
Walk In The Newness Of Life
Even Though There Will Be Personal Trials!

From Conviction
To Conversion
What A Walk To Life That Is!

From Conviction
To Conversion
From Death To Life
- Eternal Life -
The Life With Christ
Is 
Worth The Struggle
For, Then
Your Heart With The Lord Christ's Heart
Will ... Forever
Snuggle!

I'll Be Forever Out From Under
Satan's Death-Grip Muzzle!

The Love Of Christ
Will Have Changed My Deceitful Heart
And I Will, By Grace
The Plan's Of Wily Devil
Well And Truly Scuttled!

Let's Not Be Stubble!

Who's Ready Rumble!?!

I'm In!

All The Way In!

Let's Pray In Jesus Christ's Name
For The Victory 
For Which He Has Already Paid!
The Victory For Us Already Won!

Let's Each Pray For Our Personal Sure Win!

I Second That!

Brethren, We Are In Agreement!
No More Visiting
The Doctor Of Spin!



PRAYER:

I Humble Myself
Under Your Mighty Hand, Lord
Because
It Is My Desire
To Attain Unto The Great Reward!
Save Me!

Please Help Me, I Beseech You
To Be Truly Converted
To The Lord Jesus Christ
And
To Depart The Ways Of Sin
To Get Out From Under
The Demonic Device!
Seal Me!

I Believe The Word, Father!
I Trust In The Truth!
I Will To Walk With My Jesus!
I Desire Eternal Youth!
Redeem Me!

I Thank You For The Love Given!
I Thank You For The Grace Bestowed!
I Thank You For The Mercies New
And
Beseech You
Help Me Moment By Moment
Daily!
Help Me To Spiritually Grow!
I Will Glorify Thee!

I Will To Reach Home
And
Live Forever At Peace With You
Is My Heart's Pitiful Plea!
Hear, Oh, Lord
And
Bless
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Pray!
Let The Spirit Of The Lord
Fall Upon Me!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Father, I Will Not Complain ...!

Father,
There Are Days
When I Feel Like Complaining
But
Because I Have Signally Proved You
By Your Great Grace
I Shall Not

For
I Don't Want From Salvation's Redemption
My Name To Be Blot!


Lord,
I've Read The Account Of 
The Hebrews In The Desert, Who
Because Of Doubt
Murmuring
Constant Complaining
And Ingratitude
From The Promised Land
Were Decidedly Left Out
And
I Am Determined
No Matter Life's Provocations
That I Will Not
Against You
Manifest Sinful Doubt!


Help Me, Lord
Not To Charge You Foolishly
When Disobedience Causes Me
To Experience Pain
Or Sorrow
Or Want! 


Help Me, Lord
To Be Thankful
Acknowledging Your Blessings
Even As Stand
Ever Needing To Be Prayerful
Watchful
Waiting 
And Obeying!


I Have The Carnal Man's Blind Eyes!
I Have The Carnal Man's Deaf Ears!
I Have The Carnal Man's Stony Heart Hard
And
In Faith
I'm Petitioning
For A Spiritual Makeover
So That I Ever
Will Walk In Your Ways
And
In The Fullness Of Time
By Your High And Holy Hand
To Glorious Heaven
Be Delivered!


I Am Bound For The Promised Land
And
I Pray That I Will Never
Any Of Your Bounty Refuse
Nor
The Test Of Faith
To Prove Me A Humble Servant
Of
The Holy Estate
So, Please, I Beseech You
Teach Me
Lead Me
Guide Me
And When And As Necessary
Chastise Me
But, Lord, Please Keep Your Promise

And Never Forsake Me!

Please Help Me, Beloved Father
To Stand Resolute
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
So That Satan Cannot Rejoice Over Me
As An Object Profane!


I Worship You! 
I Love You, Lord!
Home For Me
Is Where You Are

And
I Desire 

With My Whole Heart
To Occupy My Personal Dwelling
In The Great Reward!

Father,
I Bow To Your Sovereign Will
And
I Give You, Me

And
I Beseech You To Bless Me
To Humbly And Competently 
With Faith's Confidence 
Do Your Bidding
So That For Me
One Day
There Shall Be
Eternal Living!


Lord,
Please Help Me To Your Kingdom
To Be A Blessing!
Please Help Me On The World
Not To Be A Curse
And
Please Help Me To Abide Always
Under The Banner
Of
Truth And Faithfulness
So That I Maybe To You
A Kingdom Success!


You See All!
You Know All!
You're In All!
You Feel All
And
I Bless You, Lord
For Loving
And
Caring For Me
A Child Of The Fall!


Thank You For Hearing
And
Thank You For Answering My Prayers
Even If The Answer Is "No!"
Please Make Your Desire For My Life
My Desire As Well

For
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Humbly Plead!

Come Soon, Lord!
AMEN.
