VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, I Have Regret For Sin And I Am Glad!

Father,
I Have Regret!
I Am Sincerely Sorry
For All The Times That I Have Sinned
Against Your Holy Name
Because I Did Not Know You Well Enough
To Love You Completely
To Trust You Solely
Through All The Changing Scenes Of My Life!

I Repent Of The Past 
Because It Marked Me As One
Who Crucified My Jesus
Time And Again!

Yes, It Caused Me Unnecessary Grief
And I Was Cocooned In Sorrow
And I Held Shame
But Now That I Know Better
I Beseech You, Please
Help Me To Guard My Heart
To Protect My Eyes
My Ears
And To Refuse To Allow Anyone
Anything
Any Possession
Any Perceived Profit
To Cause Me To Body-Check Faith
So That I May Refuse To Become A Living 
Ultimately Rejected 
Then Condemned
And Cast about Disgrace!

I Have Seen The Light!
Things Pass!
People Pass!
Possessions Don't Last
But The Word Of God
My Jesus The Lord
He, Alone, Always Lasts!
Jesus Christ Is Forever
And I Plead, Dear Father
With All That Is Me
Please Help Me To Walk Softly Before You
And To Serve You Wholeheartedly!

Jesus Christ Is My Joy!
Please Help Me To Ever Praise Him With Glad Song
And Help Me To Live Up To My Blessing
That Shows The World
The Holy God To Whom I Belong!

I Understand At Last, Dear Father
The Word That Plainly Says That
All Things Work For Good
To Them That Love God:

I Love You, Lord
And I Desire To Love You More Each Day
And To Be Consumed In That Love
So That Neither Time, Terror, Trial, Temptation
Nor Torment Can, From Your Love, Tear Me Away!

Father, 
Prophecy Is Daily Being Fulfilled!
Men's Hearts Are Growing More And More Cold!
Brotherly Love Is A Commodity!
Love For God Is An Oddity
And Romantic Love Is Marked Transactionally!

Children Are Bartered, Bought And Sold
And Satan And His Legions
Are Indulging Machinations
More Cruel, More Bold
And Myriads Of Blood-Bought Souls
Are Languishing Outside The Safe Fold!
Please Help Them, Lord!

Oh, Father
I Am Available For Service
To Serve And Bless My Fellow Man 
For Love Of My Master, The Lord Christ
And In His Holy Name
And I Offer Up My Will To Your Leading
To Point Others To Sure Salvation
So That They, Too
From Willful Sinning
May Wisely Depart!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Bless You And I Thank You
For Not Giving Up On Me
And I Pledge, By Your Grace
To Do And To Go Willingly
Wherever You May Lead Me, Gladly!

Father,
I Do Not Know What Tomorrow Holds
But I Know You Who Holds Tomorrow
And Pray That That Knowledge 
Will Always Be Enough ... Sufficient For Me
So That I May Enduringly Face Life Each Day
Never Borrowing Unarrived Sorrow!

I Take You At Your Holy Word:

Confess My Known Sin Repent
And You, Being Faithful And Just
Will Forgive Me And Cleanse
From All Unrighteousness! 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised! 

The Lord Is My Shepherd
I Shall Not Want! 

Blessed Is The Man That
Walks Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly! 

Your Peace You Give Unto Me!

I Believe That You Are God Almighty ... To Save
And That You Reward All Who Diligently Seek You!

You Say Ask In Faith ... Nothing Wavering!
You, Father
Daily Give Me The Faith To Live By
So I Am Using Your Gift To Me
To Make My Request To You:

Help Me
And Help My Brethren
By Blood, By Faith, By Affection
Those Already In The Faith
Those Coming To Faith
Those Looking For Faith
To Stand Firm In Jesus Christ's Holy Faith
Enduring All Things For Love Of Our Lord
To Watch
To Wait
To Work
To Be Wise Unto Salvation
While It Is Still Day! 

The Night Is Rapidly Approaching
When The Workers Shall Rest
When Men Will Have Made Irrevocable Decisions
When From The Groaning Earth
Grace, Mercy, Truth And Peace
Will Desert
So, Please Remember Us Who Pray!
Please Remember Us Who Look For
The Lord Christ's Coming Great Day
And Keep Us In Your Holy Care!
We Need You, Lord!

Please Accept My Offering Of Prayer
And Grant Unto Me These Few Petitions
For I Ask All 
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Your Only Begotten Son
Who, Alone
Man's Hungry Soul Satisfies
And Who Will Never A Seeking Soul
Ever, Ever, Deny!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAY AND STAND TALL: Almighty God Regards

When Your Fruits Hang Low
Someone Will Pick Them!
When Your Paling Is Tottering
Someone Will Give It A Kick!
When Your Name Is Being Lambasted
Someone Will Give It A Lick
And
You, Poor One Tormented
 Like An Activated Time-Bomb 
Offended
Shall Surely Start Aggressively To Tick!

But, Wait ...

Oh, Trembling Child Of Almighty God!
Oh, Willing Servant Of The Savior
Have You Forgotten That
The Lord Does Have Regard For
Your Helpless Estate!?! 
Have You Forgotten The Promise Given
By The Blood Of The Only One Innocent Shed
For You
For Me!?!

He Who Loves Sacrificially
Made, Makes ... Is Making
The Strait And Narrow Way Plain
Perfect
For Feet Shod By Salvation
To Deliver The Gospel Of Peace
Despite
The Tar Balls
The Terrors
The Threats
The Thunderings
The Torments
That Seem Never To Relent!

Believe!
Be Bold!
To Sin Turn Your Shoulder Cold
And
Rest
In Perfect Peace In Him Who Is Love
Who Eternally Lives
Him In Whose Grace You Grow
In Him Whose Mercy You Know
You May Stand Firmly
To Be Tried, Tested ... Perfected
Because
He Holds Your Heart
Your Head
Your Hand
Because
He Is Your Home!

Earthly Possessions Perish!
Palings Fall!
Fruit Trees Rot!
Dominions Get Decimated!
Principalities Fail!
Powers Bail Out While Serving Self, Satan, And Sin
But
Your Service To The Savior
The Lord Our God The King
Is 
Rewarded Via Salvation
With Redemption Guaranteed:

The Day Of Glorification 
Is 
Coming
And 

Is Even Now On The Wing 
So Do Not Let The Worldly "Wisdom" 

And 
The Ways
Of
Those Not Working With The Holy God
Rob You Of Your Possession
In The Palace Of The King
In The City Of The Eternal God!


Pray And Stand Tall ...

Almighty God Is Holding You:
Do Not Let Go Of The Hand Of The Living God! 

Faithful Obedience To Holy, Saving, Truth
Blesses
And 
Is Blessed ... In Due Season
By Eternal Life With Our God
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ...

Almighty God Makes Provision
For That Which He Prepares:





The Lord Jesus Christ ... For Your Soul
Does Personally Care:





Be Faithful!
Be Strong!
By Mercy And Grace Be Assured!
Sin Will Be Cured!
Victory In Christ Jesus
Shall Surely Be Yours!


Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus!
Rest Easy In The Lord:
You Are Blessed!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The God Of Order + PRAYER: Lord, Feed Us ...!





Almighty God Is The God Of Order!
Nothing In His House Is Out Of Place!
Nothing In God's House Is Broken
AND
There's Nothing There 
That Needs To Be Replaced!

God's House Is Filled
With Splendiferous Mansions!
I've Never Seen One
BUT
I Accept The Word Of God
To Be The Living Truth!
I Believe That God Is My Father
AND
That My Father Always Speaks
God's Immutable Words Of Truth!

God's Word Says
I Have No Excuse For Sin
Because God's Law Is Written
On The Tablet Of My Heart!
The Same Heart That Used To Be Quite Rotten
BUT
Which
Through The Faith Of Christ Jesus
I've Asked The Holy Spirit
To Move Into
So That The Urge To Sin
Is Forced To Depart
AND
I Shall Henceforth
With Cause
Ever Sing God's Praises
Like A Very Contented Lark!


PRAYER:


Dear Father, Up In Heaven
You Who Hallow My Days
I Thank You
For My Call To Christian Duty
Proclaiming The Word Of The Gospel
AND
Not To Go Around The World
Playing
Mind Games!

Teach Me Thy Ways, Dear Father!
Help Me To Walk Faithfully In Them 
Each And Every Day!
Help Me To Stand Up
So That I
As A Child
May Be Counted
And
Help Me Not From Hard Tasks
To Run Away!

Help Me
To Pray Always
And
To Love
With Real Care
Doing The Work Of Him
Who Has Sent Me
And
Not Doing Things Half Way!

Father,
Please Take Obscuring Beams
From My Eyes
And
Wash And Bridle My Tongue
So That I Will Refuse To Utter
The Convenient Lie
Which Would Cause Me
To The World's Way
With Alacrity
To Comply!

Bless Your People
Dear Lord, I Pray
To Do Your Bidding
With A Ready Heart!
May They As Good Ambassadors
On Great And Small Missions
Deliver True Messages
Of Love, Grace And Faith!
Help Them To Speak Truly
Of The Blessing
Abiding
In Obedience To Your Will
And
Help Them To Hold Forth
With Compassion
The Need For Confession
And
Repentance
To All Hearers!
Father!
Help Them To Get Through Even To Our Youth!

Lift Us Up, Lord
To Lift You Up
And
Forgive Us Our Trespasses
When We Mess Up!
Help Us To Swiftly Confess And Repent
Of Our Sins
So That You Will Erase Them
From Your Remembrance Book!

Lord, Help Us Not To Commit
The Presumptuous Sin
And
To Never Grieve The Holy Spirit Away!
Help Us Not To Truth Deny
Nor To Run After
The Devil's Pie In The Sky!
Help Us To Be Contented
No Matter The Manner We Live
So That
We May Eat Grass
And Still Grow Big
With Lovely Hearts That Willingly Give!

Feed Us, Dear Father
The Blessed Bread Of Life
And
Lead Us So That We May Avoid
Imbibing From
The Waters Of Strife!
Guide Us To The Promised Land
Teaching Us All The Way
So That We Will Have Right To The City
And
May Blessedly
Walk Through
Your Pearly Gates
On The Appointed Date!
We Love You, Lord!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Have Mercy, And Bless!
AMEN.

PRAYER: FATHER, Thank You For The Grace



Heavenly Father,
I Come Before You - As a Child Beloved
With A Supremely Grateful Heart
Thankful
That Within My Right To Life
Is My Right To Choose
This Very Day
Which GOD I Will Serve!

Father, With a Contrite Heart 
I Choose To Humbly Worship You!

Father,  You have Clearly Stated in Your Eternal Word
That Every Human Being
MUST Work Out His Own Soul's Salvation
With Fear -  Godly Fear - and Trembling
And I  -  of My Own God-given Free Will -
Reverently Bow Before You - Not with the Eye Servant's Knee - 
But With a Conscious-of-My-Own-Unworthiness and 
Longing-for-The-Home-With-Jesus-Heart 
To Honor You with My Praise and My Worship!

Father,  I Am Indeed Thankful That You
The Holy God
Are My Lord and My God,  and 
Not The Lying Other!

I Am Thankful That You Have Given Me Leave-to-Appear 
Before The Throne of Grace 
So That We can Reason Together
To Come To The Conclusion of The Whole Matter!

Help Me, Father, To Do My Living Loving Duty Which Is
Indeed 
To Fear You, and 
To Keep Your Commandments
For The Day Is Coming 
When You Will Bring Ever Work 
Into Judgment 
With Every Secret Thing That I Have Done!



Help Me,  Father
To Lay All of My Burdens 
Upon The Altar of Sacrifice
To Lay them Down 
and 
Turn Away from Them
and 
Leave Them In Your Holy and Matchless Care!

Father,  
Please Help Me To Listen When Your Holy Spirit Speaks
and
As I Listen To What I Hear From Your Holy Spirit
Help Me To Obey
Without Human Fear and Failing!

I Am Weak
But
In You Lord
I Am Remade  ...  Strong!

Help Me To Ever Trust You and In You!

Help Me To Abide - Faithful - In Your Care!

Help Me To Walk Holy Every Day
No Matter What The Unbelieving Man May Say!

Help Me To Stand Firm
In Jesus' Faith
Until The Day Dawns
When I Shall See My Jesus
Faith-to-Face
Nevermore To Be Called
A Fairy-tale-Believing Disgrace, and
Thereafter 
To Reside Forever
In The Eternal Place!

Thank You For Your Mercy!
Thank You For Your Love!
Thank You For Your Grace
and
Thank You For The Heavenly Hope!

Blessed Is Your Holy Name!

AMEN.

Surprising God?!



SAINTS WON'T SURPRISE GOD!

SINNERS CAN'T SURPRISE GOD!





A decision was made by The Fiendish
That they would Surprise NotGod 
... Just in case
He proved to be a formidable opponent
And not a great fable in time at this place.

The Fiendish made Great Preparations
They raised Great Standards all over The World
And then they set into motion Great Events 
That could would destroy The Human Race!

Those Fiends thought that they were so brilliant
Problem is, they were brilliant in their own eyes, and
They followed the leading of The Devil, Satan
The Dragon, The Lord of Bare Lies!

For Millennia Stan Satan has been busy
Telling Generations of Fiends the same flawlessly lawless
Lying legend snake story, er, tale:


"Forget God!
You are God!
You are Immortal!
You can do whatever You want!
Erase The Lines!
Rules are for Fools!
Take what You want!
God isn't real -
He's just your Grandma's 
Bedtime Story Fairy Tale!"

And prideful wicked men lusting for Power
And Gain 
And Vaunted Immortality
Have chosen The Path of The Damned
Despising The Son of Man
And are lifting up Godlessss Morality Immortality!

These Fiends, Religious and Secular
Educated, Ignorant
Unrooted, Untutored
Soul Defiled
Set fast - cemented in their own delusions
Believe they can surprise their Creator 
The Living God
Jesus Christ - He who was crucified!

There is nothing that Mortal Man can do to surprise King Jesus!
There is nothing of their evil plots hidden from God's Gaze!
Their is nothing they can hide in their hearts 
That is not lit up in neon before The Ancient of Days!

People of God take Comfort in The Savior
Your Redeemer and Truly True Friend!
Take Comfort in His Amazing Grace - 
Think not of Disgrace - not Distance, not death
Nor of being well and truly displaced!

#JesusChristHasAll-SeeingEyes!
God will use Evil's Bad to You
To provide Salvation and Provision to You, too!
He is always on track!
He doesn't need to look back!
He truly and can will repulse even their celebrated EMP's puny attack!

Take Hope In This:


GOD
has given 
The Fiends The Long Rope
For He already has them 
and 
Liar The Goat by the throat!

#SatanCan'tFoolGod!
Satan is not God!

Man cannot fool God!
Man is not God!

The Almighty IS God!
Give Him His Praise!
It is not for The Fraud!
Trust The Lord - He is coming
And it will be Glorious 
and 
Dead-Raising Loud!!
