HAPPY SABBATH + Hold Hope In Christ Or Handle Hell With Satan!







A Humble, Praying, Saint 
Makes Proud Satan's Knees Weak! 

Beloved, 

We Must Go Through Present Peril 
To Get To Everlasting Peace! 

We Must Overcome Sinning 
To Arrive At Sanctification! 

We Must Overcome Ungodly Fear 
To Enjoy Freedom In Christ! 

We Must, By Grace, Conquer Our Heart 
If We Will Rule Our Head! 

We Must Hold Hope In Christ 
Or We Will Handle Hell With Satan! 

We Must Deny Ungodly Passion 
Or Die In Satanic Pride! 

We Cannot Seek The Savior 
And 
Also Serve Self! 

When We Mind The Master 
We Will Master Our Mind! 

When We Trust The Lord Aka The Truth 
We Will Be Truthful In Our Trusting! 

We Are Blessed With Daily Faith 
And 
Our Faithfulness Blesses Us Daily! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Blessed Savior Has Done The Hard Work For Us 
And
By Enduring Faith Which Works By Love
We Will Reap The "Sweets" Of Sure Salvation!
We Must Do Our Part
And
Trust And Obey! 

Please Remember, However, That 
Almighty God's Saving Grace 
Does Not Cover 
Unrepentant Man's Unconfessed Greed 
And 
Presumptuousness! 

Do Not Tempt The Lord! 

There Is No Balancing Act 
Or Fence Riding 
In Christ's Christianity: 
It's All In Or All Out! 

Earthly Riches Are Not A Safety Net: 
Jesus Christ Is! 
Therefore, Let Your Motto Be: 
It Is Best To Wear Out In The Service Of The Savior 
Than To Burn Up Through Being Served By Satan! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 
We Are Overcomers In Christ Jesus ... Alone! 

Peace!

TAKE TRUTH TO HEART: Jesus Christ's EFTs!







When Someone Wants To Force Your Hand
Wants To Bend You To Their Will
They Use Provocation And Enticement 
Two "Candies" From Satan's Buffet Of 
Cheap Thrills Aka Nasty Nuggets!

Beloved, 

The Lord Christ ... Our Creator-Savior
Has No Need For Bully-Boy Tactics! 
He Gives To His People EFT's 
Aka Encouragement, Faith, And Testaments 
As Proof That He Has No Need To Grease Your Wheel! 

This Is You, Your Cart, Your Path! 
This Is Your Lord, The First And The Last! 
This Is The Road Which Was Before You Were! 
This Is His Will And His Way: 
Do You With Him Concur!?! 

Everything That You Need To Know 
And 
To Become A Spiritual Success
Is
Open To All 
And
Fully On Display 

And

There Is Free-Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose To Walk With The Lord 
Or 
To Go Your Own Way! 

Many Have Gone Before Us
And 
Many Here Remain 
Who Will, With Honesty, Testify That 
Living For Jesus 
Is Not 
A Life That Is Lived In Vain! 

Please Choose This Day To Lift Up Your Head 
And 
Let Your Heart Be Holy Spirit-Led 
And 
Let From Your Person Be Removed The Stain 
That Causes One To The Devil To Be Chained! 

The Devil 
Is 
The Father Of Lies! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Lord Of Love And Life! 

Enticement And Provocation Are Not Nice 
So Choose, By Saving Grace, Jesus Christ's EFT's 
And 
Live To Enter ... By Right
The Great Reward
At The End Of The Overcoming-Sin Fight! 

Brethren, Beloved

Walk In The Light!

Peace!

FAITH: You Have The Power!







Faith 
Is 
The Gift That Can Only Come From The Lord Of Life
Jesus Christ The King Of Glory 
But
The Power To Use The Gift Of Faith 
Is 
In Our Hands ... Alone! 

Beloved, 

Think About This Long And Hard! 

We, As Committed Christians, Desire To Overcome Sin: 
Faith 
Is 
The Victory That Overcomes The Sinful World! 

With This In View
There Is Only One Way Forward: 
Exercise
         Work
               Use Your Personal Gift Of Faith 
In Every And All Aspects Of Your Life! 

We Can't See Faith 
But
We See What Faith Can Accomplish! 

We Can See What Sin Does In The Life Of 
One Bereft Of Faith 
And
We Can See The Sinner Being Set Free By Faith! 

Our Master, Savior, Redeemer
Lord, God, And Forever Friend
Gives To Each Of Us A Measure Of His Faith Every Day 
To Be Used For That Day Alone: 
Use It Or Lose It! 

While We Cannot Carry Forward Or Borrow Faith
We Are Well Able To Build Upon Our Faith: 
Experience Builds Confidence 
Exercise Builds Muscle
And 
Muscles Speak Of Strength! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Use Our Faith 
To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ
To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ! 
Be Strong In The Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: That Name!








As Long As We ... By Grace
Keep Struggling Against Self 
And 
Sin 
And 
Valiantly Keep Up Our Striving To Get Home 
To The Father's House 
To Be Forever With King Jesus
All Will Be Well With Our Souls! 

With Life Being Dynamic
- Always Going Relentlessly Forward - 
Anything That We Practice With Determination 
Will Become A Habit
- A Part Of Who We Are - 
Creating A Character Saying Exactly What We Are
Until Our Name Becomes Inextricably Linked 
To What It Is That We Do! 

Who Are You!?! 
What Do You Do!?! 
What Have You Done!?! 
What Are You Planning To Do!?! 

What Is Your Name!?! 

Are You A Professing Christian Called By Christ 
But 
Cursed By Your Community 

Or

Are You A Practicing Christian 
Counted For Caring With Confidence
And 
Claimed By Christ!?! 

Beloved, 
Jesus Christ Promises Each Of Us 
A New Name In Glory For Overcoming Sin: 
Dare To Be Square And Get There! 

The World Is Wrong: 
Do Right! 

The World Is Dark: 
Be Light! 

The World's Tongue Is Tasteless: 
Be Salt! 

You Are Christian: 
Live Your Name ... Enduringly Faithfully! 



Babylonia Wine 
Is 
Sweet And Deadly:
Drink The Water
Of
Life From Christ
And
Live!

TALKING A LOT AND DOING NOTHING: Time To Exercise Faith!

... I Have A Bible!

Do You Read It!?!

I Wear A Cross!

Do You Bear Your Cross!?!

I Talk To God!

Do You Listen To God!?!

I Follow The Rules!?!

Do You Follow The Laws Of God!?!

I Am A Child Of God!

Are You A Servant Of God!?!

I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus!

Are You Becoming Like Jesus!?!

Brethren,

We Can All Say Something Nice
About Our Relationship With Almighty God
But
Is Our Something Satisfactory, Pleasing, To The Lord
Or Does It Excite Satan, The God-Fraud!?!

Oh, Dear!

Nice Expression But Ain't Worth A Lot!
Nice Expression That Can Lead To The Blot!
Nice Expressions Don't Lead To God's Favor
Unless That Expression 
Is
Based And Built Upon Righteousness
And
Gives Off A Heavenly Savor!

Oh, Dear!

Oh, Dear, Indeed!

We All Talk A Good Deal
And
We Say All The Right-Sounding Words
But
Our Thoughts Prior Are Terrible
And
Our Subsequent Actions Are Abominable!

Do You Realize That Not One Of Us Said That
We Are Faithful
Living By Faith
Walking Under The Banner Of The Lord Christ
And
Striving Not To Be A Cast Out Disgrace!?!

I Noticed That No One Said Anything
About Endurance 
About Enduring All Things For The Lord
About Seeking To Gain The Mastery Over Self
About Denying The Works Of The Devil
About Overcoming Sin
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Who Died Sickeningly To Save Us All ...!

... And Don't Nobody Say "Oh, Dear!"
We Are All Guilty!

Friends, Let's Get Real!
We Could Spend All Night At This "Funeral"
But If We Don't Seek To Change
Our Real Funeral Will Be In The Lake Of Fire!

Chrissy, You Said Earlier That
You Talk To God But That You Don't Know
What It Is That You Should Be Hearing For An Answer!

Yes, I Did!
I Often Wonder What Is The Voice I'm Hearing
Because The Very Thing I Ask For Help Not To Do
Is The Very Thing I End Up Doing ...!

... Because 
You Are Relying On Your Self
And
Not On The Word Of The Living God!

The Living, Holy, Word Of The Eternal God
Is Never 
Contradicted By The Voice Of
The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth ... Of The Eternal God!

AMEN!!!

Okay!
Let's Talk Turkey Aka Jesus Christ's Gift To Us!






The Lord Gives Unto Each Of Us 
A Daily Measure Of His Faith ... For That Day
And 
The Strength To Exercise It ... To Work It
Because 
Faith Without Work Is Dead! 

Living By Faith Is Hard
And
Easy
And 

A Necessity! 

We Are Saved By God's Grace 
Through The Exercising Of Our Gift Of Faith 
So Let Us Dare To Trust The Lord At His Word
And
Obey Him
And
Walk Boldly In His Light 
To Receive Our Sure Blessings Today
And
Every Day! 

Blessings Always Await The Faithful!

Remember Old Sister Cheryl's Prayer:


Oh, Lord!
Please Work On Me!
Please Work With Me!
Please Work Through Me!
Please Work For Me!
Please Work By Me ... Forever!

The One Thing I Would Correct About That Prayer
Is The Line Which Says:


Please Work With Me!

Why Would You Correct That Line!?!

Simple:

If The Lord Is Working With Us 
To Help Us To Avail Ourselves Of His Blessings
And
We Do Not Cooperate With Him
We Achieve Nothing!

I Get Your Point
So I Would Now Pray, Saying:


Dear Lord,
Please Help Me To Work With You
And
Please Help Me
To Energetically Utilize
My Daily Gift Of Faith
And
To Wholly, Enduringly
Cooperate With You
To The Saving Of My Purchased Soul
And
To Bless Others
In Jesus Christ's Matchless, Holy, Name!

AMEN!!!

PRAYER : Keep Me, Lord!

Teach Me!
Lead Me!
Guide Me!
And
Please Carry Me, Lord
As I Navigate This World Of Sin's Fjord!
Help Me Not From You Turn Away
Nor From The Way Of Truth Stray
Is My Humble Pray This Blessed Day!


Keep Me, Lord
By Thy Dear Side!
Let Me In Your Love Abide
And
When Trials And Strife Appear
Comfort Me
For To My Heart
You Are Most Precious!
To Me
You Are Most Dear!


Help Me Not To Charge You Foolishly
When The Terrors That Bring Doubt Abuse Me!
Please Help Me To Say
With A Heart Of Love:

"My God Is In Control
He Cares For Me
He Is Keeping Me Safe
I Shall Dwell In The Courts Above!"


And When Naysayers
Gainsayers
And Unbelievers Seek
My Righteous Soul To Torment
Help Me Not Take The Path
Of Least Resistance
And
In The Ways Of The World
Give Vent!
 
Father,
Help Me Stand Tall
In The Hedge Of Protection
With Those Faithful Few
Who Have Accepted The Way To Life Call
And
Speak Peace
Speak Life
And Thereby
Remove The Vile Wind
From The Sails
Of
The Sailors Of The Denier
Of 
My Lord Jesus Christ!


I Love You, Lord!
You Daily
Moment By Moment
Enormously Bless Me
And
I Thank You For The Mercy
The Love
The Grace
And
Oh, How I Thank You, Lord
For My Share
Of 
Christ's Enduring Faith!


Please Keep Me Grace-Filled
And
Faithful
Even Unto To Death
For I Desire To See In Peace
My Lord Wonderful
In Whom
From Whom
By Whom
Is My Forgiveness
My Salvation
My Rest
My Peace
My Hope And My Reward

He Who Is
My Redeemer
My God
Jesus The Christ
Him By Whom
I Am Overcoming
And Shall
With Finality
Overcome Satan The Fraud!


Harken And Do For Me
What Only You
The Holy God Can Do
For I Worship You, Lord!
May The Holy Angels Surround
And
The Holy Spirit Indwell
For
In Jesus' Mighty Name
I Pray And Sincerely Plead!
AMEN.

From This Moment On ...! + PRAYER: I Cannot Live Like This ...! Lord, I Love You!




I Had In My Heart
A Little Jesus
AND
I Had In My Heart
A Lot Of My Self!
There Was A Battling Raging
AND
Each Desired The Other
To Take A Knee
On The Back Shelf!

I Often Talked A Walk
I Was Not Walking!
I Often Walked A Talk
About Which I Was Uncomfortable To Enthusiastically Speak
AND
This Was Making My Life Uncomfortable
AND
I Really Needed Heavenly Relief!





PRAYER:

Lord,
I Can Not Live Like This Any Longer!
Please, Do Something For Me!
Open My Eyes
My Ears
My Heart
My Head
Grant Me Understanding!
Lord, God Almighty
Please Grant Me Some Relief!


I Did Not Hear A Stern Voice Speaking!
I Did Not Even Hear A Soft Voice Whispering Inside My Head
BUT
With The Passage Of Time
I Noticed
That Past Pleasures Seemed Asinine
AND
I Was More Toward Faithfulness
To God's Ways
Steadfastly Inclined!

Nonsense Made No Sense!
Defiance Was No Defense!
Recalcitrance Made Me Seem Dense
AND
I Was Studiously Eager
To Get Off
The Waffler's Shaking Fence!

I No Longer Found Pleasure In Waywardness!
I No Longer Found Pleasure In Walking The Contrarian Way!
I No Longer Found Pleasure
In Arguing For Both Satan And God
AND
Finally Recognized
Realized
That I Did Not At All Like Trying 
Against God
To Be In The Right!

Prayer Changed Things!
I No Longer Wanted With Jesus Christ
A Mere Fling!
I Wanted A Commitment!
I Wanted To Belong!
I Wanted To Be With The Lover Of My Soul
AND
I Wanted The Relationship
To Be Permanently
Enduringly
Forever Long!
I Wanted Us!
I Wanted In Him To Never Grow Old!


PRAYER:

Lord,
I Love You!
You See 
Know
My Heart
Better Than I Do!
Please, Won't You Take Me 
In Your Loving Hand
And
Be To Me
My All And All?

When I Ignore You
I Feel Scattered
And
Bereft!
Please, Hold Me
Enfold Me
Keep Me Close
To That Sacrificial Heart 
In Your Spear-Pierced Side
That Sin Cleft!

Forgive Me
For My Myriad Follies!
Forgive Me
For Giving In To My Lying Wants
Adjudged To Be My Needs
But Was Indeed My Gross Greed!

Forgive Me
For Doubting Your Living Holy Word!
Forgive Me
For From You Looking Away!
Forgive Me
For Giving Place To The Devil!
I Am Sorry, Lord!
Forgive Me!
I Beseech You, Please
Is My Penitent Heart's Humble Pray!

From This Moment On
Help Me
In You
To Be Strong!
Give Unto Me Music
For My Satisfied-With-Jesus Song
So That
In The Day A-coming
I May Joyously Sing 
With The Redeemed
In The Overcomer's Glorying Throng!

Thank You, Lord
For Hearing And Answering My Prayer
Presented In The Name Of My Lord
Jesus Christ The Righteous
In Whose Faith I Live
And Breathe!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH: It Will Be An Expedient + PRAYER: Lord, Give Us The Victory









Since There Is Nothing New
Under The Sun
It Stands To Reason
That It Will Be Again Expedient 
That One Should  Perish
Instead Of The Whole Nation!

So ...

Just Like Christ Jesus
Christians Shall Be The Scape Goat
AND
Will Be Sold To Bold Sinners
For A Trifling Small Groat!

The King James Bible Says
That The Dragon
Is With The Woman Wroth
AND
Will Seek To Make War
With The Remnant Of Her Seed
AND
I Take That To Mean
That Hate Controls His Noggin
Just As The Drug Would An Addict On Speed!

Christians' Foreheads And Backs Will Bear Targets
For Their Faithfulness To The Eternal God
AND
For Having Repented Of Sin
To God The Father
AND
Holding The Faith Of Jesus Deep, Deep, Within
AND
For Not Paying Obeisance To The False God!

But ... Faith

Faith Speaks Of Confidence!
Faithfulness Speaks To Confidence's Reward!
Walking In Faith Speaks Of Doubt's Decimation
AND
Abiding Faith Speaks To Hope For Rest
In The Peaceful Glade Of The Eternal God!

God Is Faithful
Even When We Are Not
AND
When We Are Faithless
God's Faithfulness
Diminishes Not Even A Jot!

BUT ...

If We Believe In Him Who Is The Word
AND
Who Makes Faith Come Alive By His Covenanted Word
We Will Be Champions Of The Faith
Overcomers Grand
Of The Goat-inspired Wicked Perishing World
Disbelievers In The Son Of Man!

Faith Is The Victory!
Faith Moves Mountains And Trees!
Faith ... When Unbounded
Is As A Shower Of Rain Upon Leaves
For The Sound Is As Music That Makes The Heart Sing
AND
The Soul In Its Witness
Is Ever Joyful
Smiling 
Knowing That Eternity Is Not A Faddish Thing!


PRAYER:

Day Is Dying, Dear Lord
In The West
Sinners Are Right Bold
Denying There Is Sin To Be Confessed
But
I Ask You, Lord
Who Is No Mannish Liar
Whose Word Is Truth
And Is To Eternity Bound Fast
To Please Let Our Confidence
Our Holy Faith In Christ Jesus
Provide Us Seats
At The Royal Welcome Home Children
Celebration Repast!

Oh, Lord
Please Let Our Faith 
In Jesus Christ The Righteous
Give Us The Victory
That Overcomes This World!
We Love You, Father!
AMEN.
