HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Oh, God, Our Help!







Rock Of Ages, Please Cleft For Me!
Because Of The Faith Of The Holy Jesus
I Find Sweet Rest In Thee!

Father,
I Love You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Bless Me, I Beseech You
Not To Indulge In Double-Minded Man's
World And Spirit Games!

I Desire To Do Your Will, Dear Father!
I Desire To Live In Peace With You!
I Desire Your Protection Through This Earthly Strife
Because I Desire To Safely Get Home To Glory
To Live Forever With You!

Father,
I Know From The Pages Of The Living Holy Word
That The Flesh And The Spirit
Cannot Peacefully Co-Exist
And I, By Faith
Ask For And Accept The Outpouring
And Indwelling  Of The Holy Spirit
And Request That You Accept The Key
To My Heart's Door
So That You May Direct And Control
Who And What 
May Enter And Find Residence Within It!

You Have Made It Abundantly Clear, My Father
That A Double-Minded Man Is Unstable In His Ways
And That Such An One Cannot Expect
To Receive A Blessing From Your High And Holy Hand
And, So, I Beseech You
Have Mercy On Me
And Help Me To Have A Clear And Simple
Only And Dear Focus
On The Lord Jesus Christ
And His Free And Gifted Offer Of
Life With Him, Eternally!

Life Eternal
Immortality
Home In The Land Of The Ever-Blessed
Incorrupibility
Truth In The Inward Parts
Blessings Of Peace And Rest
Forgiveness For Confessed Sin
Justification - Marking Me As One Who Has Never Sinned
Sanctification - Setting Me Apart For Your Holy Use
Father Of The Faithful Few,
This Is Just A Part Of My Expected, Received, Receiving List
Please Help Me Your Blessings Of Holy Love
And Loving Sacrifice
Never To Discount
Least-Count
Or, Heaven Forbid
Foolishly Refuse!

Help Me Not To Permit Myself
By Wicked Satan To Used!
Please Disabuse My Mind Of The Notion
That There Is Profit In Sin!
Please Encourage My Mind With The Truth
That There Is Eternal Profit
In Holy, Right-Way Walking!

Please Help Me To Honor You Always
In Thought
In Word And In Deed
So That In The Fullness Of Time
I Shall Be Enveloped In Your Glory
In Sight And Indeed!

Help Me, Today, To Control Myself!
Help Me To Guard My Heart!
Help Me Not To Play Footsie With Him
Who Wickedly Enjoys Having The World Believe That
He Is A Cartoon Clown Or
An Innocuous Elf On A Shelf!

Help Me To Expose The Works Of Old Satan
That Piercing Satan
That Liar Supreme
The Raiser Of Judas-Goats
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Of Jesus Christ, The Base Hater!

Father,
I Trust You!
I Am Working On Obeying You
Without Having The Fleshly Man's
Internal Debate!
Please Help Me To Let The Spirit Of Truth
In My Life Rule
So That At The Day Of Final Judgment
I Will Not Be Marked
A Condemned, Cast Into Outer Darkness
Irredeemable Fool!
Help Me To Ever Look To The Son!

Please Remember My Brethren
By Blood, By Affection, By Faith!
Please Remember Those Who Are Seeking The Savior
But Have Not Yet Committed
Of His Flesh And Blood
To Take The Taste
To See, Indeed, That He Is Good!

Please Remember The Base
The Vile, The Profane
The Abominable
Who In Time To Come
Will Seek Your Holy People To Destroy
And Keep Your Holy, Memorialized, Promise
To Keep Us Through That Strife
As You Kept Faithful Noah
And The Remnant
At The Time Of The World-Consuming Flood!

You Are Our Shelter
Whether The Wind Is Stormy
Or The Wind Is Calm!

You Are Our Provider
Whether We Can Purchase Our Own Food
Or Must Accept Charity
From The Hand Of Mortal Man!

You Are Our Rest
Whether We Sleep On Rocks Or Feathers
And, Blessedly, For Us Children Of The Dust
You Are The True And Holy, Living God Eternal
The One God Who Cares For And Blesses Us!

Help Us Not To Worship Useless Idols!
Bless Us To Share Our Faith 
With Them Who Do Not Yet Know Your Name
So That They, Too
May Be Blessed And Forever Saved!

Father,
I Pray For Those Who Mourn
And For Those Who Anticipate A Mourning!
I Pray For Help For Those Who Have Lost
Their Way And Are In Need Of Your Sure Salvation!
Oh, Father, 
Have Mercy For You Are Our Only Hope!

Please Accept My Prayer
My Heart's Plea, Father
For I Humbly Ask For These Few Blessings
In The Holy Name Of The Beloved Christ Jesus
The Soon-Returning King
The Redeemer
The Savior Of Man!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

BUT: God Can ...!





Man May Dwell In Tranquil Safety
IF
He Will To The Living God
Pledge Fealty!
This Indeed
Is A Necessity
IF
He Will Avoid
The Fiery Calamity!

Man Cannot
Of Himself
Provide Peace And Security
Because
In Himself
He Has The Evil Propensity
Which Causes Him
In His Wicked Heart
To Live A Life Avidly Leaning 
Toward Criminality
Which
- Unchecked -
Leads To God's Dread Judgment Of 
Death With Finality!

Man Commits Murder!
Politicians Perjure!
Priests Are Pedophiles!
Mommies Commit Infanticide!
Parents Commit Murder-Suicide!
Children Commit Patricide
AND
Matricide!
Brethren Commit Fratricide!
Statesmen Legalize Government-Assisted Suicide!
Teachers Turn Tricks With Teens!
Poor People And Old People
Get Hit With Big Sticks
AND
Ordinary Citizens Get Abused By Just Opening
Their Own Front Door
So That Sadistic Men Can Adore 
The Quick Score!

But ... God
In His Mercy
Has
For Man
Made A Clear Way!
Reach Out To Jesus
IS
The Only Way
For Humans
To Get Right
To Walk Right
To Avoid The Dark Night
To Return To The Heavenly Father
AND
In The Great Day
To Enter The Rest Home
Where There Is
No Sorrow
No Sadness
No Death
No Tears
To Sickness
No Suffering
For
Old Things Will Have Passed Away!

We Shall Have
New Hearts
New Bodies
New Clothes
New Names
New Homes
New Abilities
AND
New Places Called Amazing To Explore
AND
To Know!

And ... Wonderfully

Face To Face With Christ Jesus
We Shall Know 
Even As We Are Known
For
We Shall Be Touching The Hand
That Was Marred
AND
Permanently Marked
AND
That Bled For Us
AND
See Plainly
The Thorn-Scarred Brow
AND
Behold The Feet
That Stood Up
For Us
So That We Would Not
Be Forever Cast Down!

We Shall Be
Hearing From
Singing To
Praising
AND
Loving The Lover
Who Loved Us The Best
AND
Blessing The Savior
Whose Sacrifice Was The Sweet Savor
In The Nostrils
Of The Holy God
Who Can Consume
AND
Who Does Bless!

God Will Bless The Believers!
God Will Curse The Disbelievers!
God Will Destroy 
All Those Unrepentant
Who Practice To Deceive
BUT
For Now
God's Grace Is Still Available
To All Who Will Kill
The Sin-Sow!

Mercy Is Still On God's Table
BUT
Time Is Running Out
For Us To Choose Salvation
OR
To Be Rabidly False
AND
To Self
Sin
AND
Sinning
- Remaining Enamored -
Cleave
Preferring
To Be Eternally Deceived!

Almighty God IS Ever True!
Man IS Always A Liar!
God - If Trusted -
Will Eternally
Take Care Of You
AND
That IS The Guarantee
Upon Which You May Daily Feed!
Please ... LET THE LIVING GOD LEAD!


So As Not Be Sorry
Later
Trust The Living God
Now
To Truly Live
Now!

Doubt Deals Death And Destruction!





God Says:
"Have Faith!"
Scientific Man Stresses:
"Indulge Doubt!"

God Says:
"Walk Not Be Sight!"
"You'd Better Recognize!"
Worldly-wise Man Boldly, Insultingly, Shouts!

Almighty God Made Man!
Finite Man Makes I-Seeing Gods!
God Says:
"Follow Me!"
Evolutionary Man Says:
"I Can't - Won't - Follow What My Eyes Can't See!"

God Says:
"Faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen!"

Faithless Man Says:
"Show Me ...
The Money
The Man
The Method
The Manner
The Means
The Modes
The Might
The Mold
The Majesty
The Ministry
The Misery
The Picked Cherry
The Soul's Sole
AND THEN
Just Maybe
I Will Be On "It!" Sold!

God Says:
"Come!"
Self-Made Man Says:
Sure ... After I See You
Feel You
Taste You
Touch You
AND
Hear You
In Full Cinematic Mode!
Unless There Is A Full Hollywood-Sanctioned Presentation
A Blockbuster Blow-Out
I Proffer
You Are Neither Worthy
Nor Worthwhile!
You're Wanting!
Wishful Thinking!
I Shall You Pass By!
Bye!  Bye!
I'm Out!

Alas! Alas ...

The Day Is Coming
AND
It's Already Here
When Men
Through Their Over-Wrought Eyes
Shall Be Led
By The Damned Devil
To The Unbelievers' Despair
When Those Who Saw
With The Blind Eyes Of Faith
Shall Hear
See
AND
Rise Up
To Meet Their Longed-For Lord
AND
God
In The Open Atmosphere!

The Wilfully Sighted
Shall Be Blinded By Glorious Light!
The Blind-Faith Faithful
Shall See Their Hope Realized
AND
In Joyous Celebration Cheer
AND
In That Moment
The Cry Of Despairing Hearts Shall Go Up:

Deceived! Deceived!
Rocks! Mountains!
Fall On Us!
Hide Us
For
The Wrath Of The Lamb Is Come
And
Our Doubt Has Cost Us
The Glorious Lot!
Deceived! Deceived By Satan's Own Hand
We Seeing, Saw Not
And
For This
We Shall Never Enter
Faith's Promised Land!

God Gave Eyes
BUT
He Asks Us To See Him 
Through The Believer's Love In Our Hearts
BY
Trusting His Word
AND
Not Worrying About
What He Has Not To Us Disclosed!

Faith Walks And Works!
Doubt Drags
Deceives
AND
Delivers Disaster!
Just "Ask" A Moses Hebrew
To Tell You Of 
Their Desert
AND
Promised Land
Odyssey Of Disaster!

Faith Earns!
Doubt Doesn't Discern!

*********

Doubt Is What
Faith Is Not!
Doubt Is
A Whole Lotta Talk
Which
At The Thought Of Walking
Balks!

*********

Trust God!
He Will Deliver You
AND
For You!

Christos Came A-Calling!





He Had Lived A Life Of
Totally Glorious Luxury
AND
Barring One Unfortunate 
Unnecessary Incident
He Had Been
Faithfully Loved 
AND
Lovingly Worshipped
By Every Single Being
He Could In His Eye Behold!

Life Is Good!
Good - That Is
Until The Day
That It Was Decided
That He Would Have To Go 
AND
Make Peace
In One Of The Family's Houses!

Ruction Had Broken Out!
People Were Fighting!
People Were Dying!
People Were Calling Themselves God
AND
There Was Open Opposition
To None Less Than 
Almighty God Himself
In The Family's Favorite House Of All Places
Just Because Of Somebody
Thoroughly Conceited
Selfish
Wilfull
Cruel
Liard
AND
Unrepentantly Wicked!

The Former Top Servant To The Master
In The Great House Itself
Had Decided That
If He Could Not Be Boss
In The Great House
He Was Going To Destroy
One Of The Family's Households
... Just For Spite!

Anyway ...

Long Story Short
That Knave
Had Been In Love With His Own Formerly Gorgeous Self
AND
Desiring Others To Worship Him
As He Worshipped Himself
Had Brought That Peculiar Estate
- A Favorite Of The Father -
To Ruin
AND
That Is Why
Christos Had Had To Make 
The Arduous Journey!

The Experience Is Novel
For
When He Said Who He Is
Just About Everybody
Thought Him A Liar
A Blasphemer
AND
An Employee Of Beelzebub
The Very Wretch
Christos Had Come
To Save The Estate From!

It Was A Total Farce!

NOW ...

Everybody Knows That Story
But
I Personally Wonder 
How Christos Felt
Not Feeling Anything
From The Majority Of His Family
BUT
Hate!

I Know That He Could Commune With His Father
But
I Want To Know
To Understand This :

How Does One
Who Has Only Known Love
Exist
- In His Own Property -
Amongst A People Out Of Himself
Who Are Protected And Provided For
By Himself
AND
Who Despise His Very Existence
Survive?

How Did Love Live Without Love

Amongst The Unlovely
But Beloved
Unkind And Cruel Family
And
Survive
Unbesmirched
By
That Pervasive Taint Of Sin
Mingled With Ravaging Hate?!


Not Every Single Person Hated Him For There Was A Remnant Who Knew A Godsend
When They Heard One!

BUT ... 

The $1,000,000,000,000 Question Remains:



How Do WE Personally Stand Up 
For Jesus 
In The Face Of Rabid Familial Hate
Disrespect AND Dishonor 
When Every Body Knows That 
We Need Love To Survive



The Answer Is Important For Every Christian's Survival In These Last Days!


Mother Against Child

Enemies Within Your Home
Self Before Jesus Is Not Worthy Of Jesus
Anything Given Up For Jesus Christ
Is Returned 
Tenfold!
Jesus Christ Is Faithful
His Own Will He Secure
All We Need Is Endurance In Him
AND
We Shall His Face In Peace
Behold!

The Holy Spirit Offers Comfort
The Holy Angels Provide Protection Each Day
We Need To Remember To Follow The Captain
AND
Strive By His Word
To Walk Firmly
On His Marked Pathway!

The Devil Is Not Going To Ease You
The Devil Will Pour Out Virus-Mimicking Hate
We Must Keep Our Eyes On Our Savior
Else
We Will Share In The Devil's Just Fate!

Let Us Keep Our Eyes Upon Jesus
Let Us Walk Boldly Unto The Christ
Let Us Sing For Joy
For The Revealing
Will
Turn The Dark Days
Into Glorious Light!

Jesus Is The Way
The Truth
AND
The Light
Let Us
Through Him
By Him
For Him
In Him
Be Faithful
For There Is Always The Darkness
Before There Is The Light!


*********

Jesus Christ

IS

The Light Of The World!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: ... For A New Heart!





Dear Father,
I Desire Of You As I Pray
A New Heart
Pristine As The New Day
Holding
No Envy
No Malice
No Hatred
No Greed
No Bigoted Intentions
No Corruptions To Feed!

No Gluttony
No Guile
No Penchant For Pride
No Possibility For Base Passion
No Smells In The Nose That Will The New Heart Defile!

No Ning-Nings
No Nudges
No Sarcastic Forays
No Listings
No Lustings
No Angry Displays!
Lord, Please Help Me Keep That Satan Away!

Lord,
Just Give Me A New Heart
New From Your Heart
That Will Honor Your Presence
Is My Humble Pray!
Lord, Set Me Apart!

I Love You,  Lord!
Help Me To Love You Aright
In The Day Light 
and
Through The Dark Night!
Through Wins and Loses
The Fights 
and 
The Flights
Until The Dawning Of The Glorious Coming
Of The Living Holy Jesus' Light!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Tetra Pac Lego God + PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me!









I Made An Amazing Discovery!
I Had Put My God 
In Cut-To-Fit Pieces 
In A Foil-Lined Box
Preserving Him
For Those Occasions 
When
He Would Save Me From 
A Real Or Imagined Attack!

My Mind Was Broad
AND
I Had "Created" A 
Specialized
Elite
Proficient 
God Force!

-- I Get Chills When I Think Of 
The Myriad Gods That
I Had Fashioned For Myself! --

I Had Fashioned:

A Special-Occasion God!
An Emergency God!
An "I Need A Favor!" God!
A Ready-To-Listen To My Complaints God!
A Sounding-Board God!
A Pat-Me-On-My-Back God!
A Save-Me-From-My-Self God!
A God-To-Be-Ignored-As-Convenient God!
A "Pity Me - I'm Your Child!" God!
And On and On!

Do You Get The Picture?!

This Was Idolatry!!

Well, It Finally Dawned On Me
That All Of These 
Different Occasion Gods' Requirements
- Per My Self -
Were Really Wearing Me Down To A Nubbin!

There Had To Be A Better Way!
There Had To Be A Better Way To Pray!
There Had To Be A Better God!
There Had To Be A Better God Who Has More Say!

What I Needed 
More Than Anything 
Was 
The All-Seeing
The All-Knowing
The Ever-Present
Almighty
True
Living
Eternal
Holy
GOD!!

I Proceeded To Have Me A Think
AND ... Lo!
AND ... Behold!





Did Not God Just Say:
"Call On Me 
AND 
I Will ...!"

SHOW YOU

The Great
The Mighty (Marvelous)
What You ( I and Eye!? ) Don't Know!

He Did Not Say He Will "Snow" Me!



PRAYER:

Father,  I Owe You An Apology
For Believing In A False Theology
Which Caused Me
To Indulge In Great Folly
Forgetting That You Are The God Holy!

Father,  I Take The Position Today
That The World And Its Deceits
I Will No Longer Attention Pay!

I Will Recombine You
To Your Rightful Estate
AND
I Will Cast My Lot On You
AND
You Will Then Be Responsible For My Fate!

Forgive Me,  Father
For Letting My Lack of Faith
My Lack of Understanding
My Unwillingness To Believe
AND
My Seeming Inability To Trust
Make You Less Than You Are To Me!

Father, 
You Are My God
AND
Come What May
In You  - The Holy God
I Will Wholly Trust!
I Love You,  Lord!
AMEN.
