VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER For Help!











PRAYER:



Oh, Heavenly Father, 
Please Have Mercy On Us Who Are Distressed
Walking In Darkness, Deceived
Doubting The Deliverance Paid For And Promised 
And Provided To Whosoever Sees Their Need
And Is Willing To Reach For The Extended Hand Of Him
Who Is Our Hope, Bringing Help And Healing
And Is The One Door To The Heavenly Home! 

Please Help Us To Not Yield To The Taunts And Temptations Of 
The Naysayers, The Scorners, The Liars
The Licentious, The Proud, The Perverse
And The Affluent And Boldly Willing Sinners 
Who Are Unafraid And Unashamed
And Are Vociferously Calling Others 
To Follow Them To Satan's Planned And Man-Purveyed Ruin! 

Please Unstop Our Ears So That We May Truly Hear Your Truth! 

Please Apply The Heavenly Eye-Salve
So That Our Eyes May Be Healed 
And We Will Truly See The Light Which Leads To Everlasting Life! 

Oh, That A Coal From The Altar In Heaven May Be Applied To Our Lips 
So That We May Be Cleansed Of Our Iniquities
And Purged Of Our Sin! 

Oh, Father, 
Let It Be That We, Willing To Be Saved, Will Say: 
"Without Our Lord Jesus, We Cannot Do Anything!" 
And, In Faith, Nothing Wavering
Commit To Our Lord
And To Taking The Way Of The Cross Which Leads Home! 

Hear Our Earnest Prayer 
And Answer Us According To Your Will 
And In Your Way 
For We Ask These Blessings In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 





















Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 
Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 
Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm
And 
It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 
To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 
He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family
And 
It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 
Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 
He Is A Blessing 
When In Truth And In Fact 
He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 
From The Cradle To The Grave 
And 
We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe
Makes Things Stronger
Look Whiter, Brighter
Taste Better
And 
Last Longer! 

Think, People
And 
Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 
And 
Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 
And 
Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 
Sin And Darkness And Death 
And 
Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 
As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 
To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 
Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 


Lord Jesus,
We Repent! 


GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 


Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace
To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 
That Is The Word Of Truth 
Neither Adding Nor Subtracting
To Be Attractive To Those 
Whom You Cannot Approve! 


GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 
Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 
He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH
BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lift Up To Push Out!?! + Prayer

 











Nothing Has Changed For The Better! 

Wicked Men Wax Worse And Worse 
So  Stop With The Self-Promotion 
And 
Wait For Someone To Promote You! 

And

Just Because Someone Is Promoting You
It Does Not Mean That They Love You, Or Your Work Ethic
Or Your Devotion To The Lord
Or Are Desirous Of Your Righteous Upliftment! 

Beloved, 

Never, Ever, Forget That Corporate Boondoggle Called 
Lift Up To Push Out 
Or Elevate To Dessicate 
Which Does Yoeman Service In The World 
And
Sadly, In The Church! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Is The World's Biggest, Most Adept Promoter! 

He Does Not Have Any Affection For Anyone Born Of A Woman
Beloved Of The Lord Jesus Christ
And 
Bound For Glory! 

Why, Then, Are The Young And The Old
Men And Women 
Boys And Girls
And
Preachers And Parishioners 
Accepting Poison-Apple "Gifts" From The Enemy Of Souls
The Arch-Deceiver, The Wannabe God 
As Though It Is From The Holy God!?! 

Not Everyone Who Wears White And Displays Light 
Are Holy And Clean, Good And True
And 
Not Everyone Who Is Covered In Dirt Is Dirty And Destructive! 

Let Us Conscientiously ... Diligently
Pray For The Spiritual Gift Of Discernment 
And
For The Blessed Lord's Pure Wisdom 
- Which We Are Commanded To Ask For 
When We See Our lack Thereof - 
To Be Our Companion Until Christ Comes Or Death Parts Us! 

Look Up To The King Of Love Right Now!

Peace!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, 
Please Take The Starry Wonder Of And For The World
Out Of Our Heads, Hearts, And Eyes
And
Help Us To Hunger After You
And
The Things Of Almighty God
Now, Today, And Always! 
AMEN!

The Second Most Important Commandment! + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Me To Love Myself ...!



By
George McD. Greenidge
Guest Writer











The Second Most Important Commandment Says: 


"Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor
As Thyself!"
Mark 12:31.


As Strange As It May Sound
The Most Important Relationship You Have 
Is The One That You Have With Yourself! 
Hear Me Out! 

Too Many People Don't Like Who They Are
And They Focus On Their Faults, Weaknesses, And Failures! 

They Wish They Were Taller
Had A Better Personality ... And Looked Like Someone Else 
Instead Of Accepting Themselves 
As The Workmanship Of Almighty God ... A Masterpiece
Made In The Image Of The Eternal Holy God!

As If That Isn't Bad Enough
They Then Wonder Why They Are Not Happy 
And Don't Have Good Relationships 
With Our Heavenly Father, Their Family And Friends
Food, Their Feelings, And Their Finances! 

If You Don't Get Along With You, Then It Stands To Reason That
You Are Not Going To Get Along With Other People 
And Most Certainly Not With The Holy God!

Brethren, You Can't Love Others 
If You Don't First Love Yourself  ... In A Goodly, Godly, Way! 
Please Note That The Word Is Not To Be "In Love With Yourself!" 
With This In Mind, The Best Thing You Can Do
- I Include Myself - 
Is To Be Good To Yourself
Be Kind To Yourself
Be Merciful To Yourself
And Bless God For His Faithfulness To His Word To Us!



PRAYER: 

Father God, 
Thank You For Making Me In Your Image 
With Gifts, Talents, And Abilities To Enjoy Life
While Accomplishing Your Will
And
Also Blessing Others! 

Please Help Me To Love Myself
Despite All Of My Weaknesses And Shortcomings
Which I know I May Give Wholly To You
For You To Change Me
To Be Who You Created Me To Be
In Your Loving Hands!
I Love You! 

Father,
In The Humility Of Faith
I Know And Can Say That
I Am Happy To Be Who You Made Me To Be!
Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayers
For I Pray In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
Amen!

HAPPY SABBATH + B.Y.O.G Aka Build Your Own God!?! + PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please Disappoint The Evil-Doers!










The Sign On The Glass Door Just Barely Caught My Eye 
But 
It Was Enough To Stop Me Dead In My Tracks As I Said Aloud: 
"What The Hell!?!" 
This Was Too Big For The Euphemistic 
"What The Heck!?!" 

I Turned Back And Whipped Out My Phone And Took Two Photos! 
I Was Stunned! 

Not Even 100 Yards From A Very Large Church, And On The Diagonal
A Local Art Space Was Having An Exhibition! 

The Sign Said: 

"B.Y.O.G. Build Your Own God
And
Other Ideas For A Kinder World!" 

The Picture On It Had The Face Of 
One Of Those Egyptian-Type Animal Gods With The Wolf Face! 

Talk About Bold-Face Daring! 

The Artist's Bio States That 
She Will Be Making More And New Gods And Goddesses! 

Excuse Me!?! 

Where, I Ask, Is The Fear Of The Living God!?! 

Do Not These People Crack Open The Holy Bible!?! 

Do They Not Know The First Commandment!?! 

Have They No Shame Concerning Encouraging People 
To Sin Against Their Own Creator 
By Encouraging Them To Worship 
Lifeless Objects Out Of Their Imaginations 
Which Are Totally Useless 
Because 
They Have Eyes But Can't See
Have Ears But Can't Hear
Have Feet But Must Be Carried
And 
Hands But Can't Comfort! 

Where Is This Artist's Love For Saving Truth!?! 

Why Would This Artist Want To Maliciously Send 
Patrons Of Her Poison-Plate To Christless Graves!?! 

I Wondered How Much She Was Being Paid 
To Get Followers For Satan's Camp For The Damned!?! 

Does She Even Care That She's Doing Satan's Dirty Work!?! 

Does She Not Know That There Is Nothing Kind About Idolatry!?!



PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
In Mercy, Please Disappoint The Evil-Doers
And
May Their Diabolical Plans Come To Naught 
And
Fall Back On Their Own Heads! 

Oh, How I Pray That It Is Not Too Late
For Their Darkened Eyes To Be Enlightened
And
Their Stone-Cold Hearts To Be Enlivened 
So That They Will Have Opportunity, Strength, And Courage 
To Confess And Repent Of Their Known Sin
So That They, Being Willing, May Take Jesus Christ
As Their Everlasting Portion! 

I Also Pray For Their Beguiled Patrons
And
Petition You, Father, For Help For Them
So That They May Be Turned
Toward The Path Of Righteousness! 

May Your Holy Spirit Abide With Your Faithful People
And
The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Protect Us
And
Also Influence Us To Do What Is Good And Right
And, Therefore
Pleasing In Your Holy Sight! 

Oh, Lord, Let Your Name Be Ever Glorified
And
Jesus Christ Be Continually Lovingly Praised
In Whose Precious And Holy Name
I Humbly And Sorrowingly Plead!
AMEN!!!

HOW DO YOU STAND: Standing On OR Standing Up On ... The Promises Of Almighty God!?!




What Is The Point Of Being Given A Promise 
And 
Not Being Bold Enough To Remind The Person Of Their Exact Words 
At The Time When The Receipt Of The Benefits Of Said Promise 
Will Immensely Profit You!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have Been Given An Open Invitation 
To Appear Boldly At The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy 
And
Grace To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

Should We Not Appear Before The Lord's Magnificent Throne 
And 
Awe-Inspiring Glory 
With The Lord's "Yea!" And "Amen!" Promise For The Moment 
Securely Held And Ready To Be Offered Up To The Promise-Keeping God 
Whom We Say And Believe Is Our Everlasting Portion!?! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Given To Us For Our Blessing 
Are Only Of Benefit To Us As We Believe That 
The Giver Is Faithful And True! 

The Promises Given Will Profit Us 
When We Present Them For Settlement 
Like A Check Or A Bearer Bond! 

Be Warned, Though
Don't Ask For A Promise To Be Kept By The Lord Jesus 
When You Are Deliberately Living Contrary To The Will Of Almighty God! 

The Lord Jesus Will Never Fatten You For Satan To Feast Upon Because 
Our God, Holy
Is 
Neither Deceitful ... Nor A Liar! 

Choose To Believe The Lord's Word 
And 
Dare To Present It To Him! 

Bring Your Dirt, Your Trouble
Your Trial
And 
Your Test Or Torment! 
Let Your Request Be Known ... By Faith! 
Believe You Will Receive Your Request 
According To The Father's Will And Way 
And
Pray Without Ceasing! 

The Character Of Christ Is Our Guarantee: 
"Cash In" Your Promise Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Lord, I Am Yours Three Times!

 



















PRAYER:

Lord, 
I Am Yours Three Times
And My Heart Is Made Glad!

I Am Blessed And I Know It!
I Am Yours Because You Said That When I Pray
That I Should Say:
"Our Father Which Art In Heaven!" 
I Am Your Child!

I Am Yours Because You Said
"Trust In The Lord With All Your Strength
And Lean Not On Your Own Understanding ...!
 I Am An Eager Student In The School Of Jesus!

I Am Yours Because You Asked:
"Whom Shall I Send And Who Will Go For Us!?!"
I Am Your Willing Servant Ready For Duty
And Awaiting Your Equipping For Service!

I Am Yours Because I Know That
You Are The Creator God Who Made Me In Your Own Image
After Your Own Likeness!

 I Am Yours Because You Sent Your Only Son
Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life
To Die The Death Of The Accursed
So That I May Be Redeemed From Sin
To Return To Your House, My Father's House
Cleansed, Accepted, Made Incorruptible
And Immortalized
To Live The Life Of The Eternally Blessed

I Am Yours Because I Cried:
"Oh, Wretched Man That I Am!
Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death!?!"
And You Answered And Said:
"Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And Are Heavy Laden
And I Will Give You Rest!
I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life!"

I Am A Sinner By Nature And By Long Practice
And Knowing That My Life Condemned Me To Death
I Cried Unto You
And You Brought Me Up To Your Level
As I Prayed For Deliverance
And You Ever So Gently Said By The Messenger: 
"If We Confess Our Sin
He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sin
And To Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!" 

I Humbly Confessed And You Drew Me To Your Side! 

I Started To Cry And In You, I Did Humbly Confide!

Lord,
There Are No Secrets Between Us!
All That I Need To Know, And Do
You Teach Me Day By Day!

All The Work Necessary To Be Performed
I Strive And, By Grace, Do It Willingly:
New-Day Faith Is Pay! 

By Your Living Word
To The Throne Of Grace I, Moment By Moment, Go
Because I Do Not Choose To Know Life
As The Sinning World Knows It!

I Choose To Use The Gifts You Have Given To Me
And My Free Choice, My Free Will, I Give To You, My King
My Father, My Lord, My God, My Savior, And My Friend
Who Has Chosen To Love And Keep Me In Your Holy Care
So That I May Have The Record Clear
The Character Without Blemish
And The Lot With No Lease
Because You, Being Ever Kind
Have Made Me Your Responsibility!

Soon, Very Soon
My Faithful Endurance
Shall See Me Crossing The Separating Line
So That I Shall Know As I Am Known
And See As I Am Seen
And I Shall Forever Behold Your Face
The Face Of My Beloved, My God Holy Divine!

You Are The Bread Of Life!
You Are The Water Of Life!
You Are The Oil Of Gladness!
You Are Giving Me Beauty For Ashes
So, Please, I Beseech You
Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Into This Jar Of Clay
Because You Are My All And All
And I Worship You!

I Love You
And I Sing Your Praises
And I Pray All These Things In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
The Dear Name Blessed Forever!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

Praying ... In Love















My Heartfelt Prayer For Us All Today Is: 


Heavenly Father, 
Please Continue To Grant Us
Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith
To Help Us To Stand Rooted And Grounded In The Truth! 

Please Grant Us Strength To Walk Away
From Things Which Cannot Spiritually Profit Us
And
From People Who Curse The Name Of The Lord
And
Choose Not To Hear Of Or Know About Him
Or To Walk In His Ways! 

Please Grant Us The Needed Courage 
To Endure The Barbs And Reject The Dishonest Doings Of
Those Who Have Chosen To Walk In Darkness
Despising The Light That Leads To Eternal Life!

Oh, Father, 
Please Supply Us With The Love We Need To Have Hope
Because
We Have Chosen To Hope In The King Of Love
The Shepherd Who Leads Us To Eternal Rest! 

Please Help Us In Our Desire To Do All That You Ask Of Us
As We Willingly Choose To Do
What Is Good And Right And Holy! 

Finally, Dear Father,
Please Provide To Us, Out Of Your Riches In Glory
The Innumerable Blessings Needed
To Continually Pursue The Promise Of
A Place In Your House
In The Paradise Of God
Which Includes Immortality, Incorruptibility
Fruit From The Tree Of Life
And
Water From The River Of The Water Of Life
Which Flows By The Throne Of God! 

Thank You For The Unspeakable Gift! 

In Love, We Ask For All These Things 
And
Bless You
In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Great Name! 
AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Neither Ashamed Nor Afraid To Pray ...!
















PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, Kind And True
I Choose To Take You At Your Holy Word Because
It Needs No Reminders About Follow-Up And Follow Through! 

You Are The Living God, Holy, Faithful, Loving
The Ever Blessing God Who Is Not A Liar! 
I Give You Thanks And Praise! 

Lord, I Have Made Up My Mind That
I Want, Need, Desire, And Must Have All
Every Last Gift, Benefit, And Blessing That
You Have Promised Me In The Word Of Truth 
And
Through The Innocent Blood Spilt Because Of Me
And
For Me
On That Dark And Dread Day On Mount Calvary! 

Father, Without You, I Am Nothing
And
Can't Do Anything!

With You As My Guardian, My Guide
The One Who Causes Me To Live
And
Breathe And Just Be
And
By Your Gift To Me Of Free-Will
And
Freedom To Choose What I Want To Be And Do
I, This Day, Choose To Be What You Said That I Can Be
Which Is To Be Like My Blessed Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord! 

I Choose To Go Where You Send Me 
And
To Do What You Ask Me To Do! 

Lord, Please Help Me Not To Be Presumptuous
By Overstepping The Boundaries You Have Clearly Defined! 

Please Help Me, By Saving Grace
To Stay Under The Banner Of Prince Immanuel
And
Inside Of Your Hedge Of Protection That Is
Your Ten Commandments
The Keeping Of Which Is
The Key To A Happy And Peace-Filled Life!

I Need You, Father
And
I Am Neither Ashamed Nor Afraid To Pray That
I Will Come To Need You More And More Each And Every Day!

I Love You And I Come In Faith In Jesus' Holy Name:
Please Bless Me In My Need And Indeed!
AMEN!

Oh, Jesus, I Have Promised ...!




A Favored Hymn From Childhood Days 
Is 
One Very Pertinent For Us Committed Christians 
During These Days Which Are Called Sin's Glory Days! 


"Oh, Jesus I Have Promised, To Serve Thee To The End!
Be Thou Forever Near Me, My Master And My Friend!
I Will Not Fear The Battle, If Thou Art By My Side
Nor Wander From The Pathway, If Thou Wilt Be My Guide!"


Beloved, 

The Wicked Will Rage
And 
The Ragers Will Fade 
Because 
Jesus Christ Is The King Eternal 
And 
His Kingdom Will Stand Forever 
In The Peaceful, Joy-Filled, Glade! 

Let Us Remind Ourselves Time And Again That 
Those Who Are For Us 
Are More Than Those Who Are Against Us 

And

Never, Ever, Ever Forget That 
The Pleasures Of Sin Are But For A Season! 

Dear Ones, 

With Our Hands In Our Father's Hands By Faith And With Prayer
With Our Diligently Following In The Master's Foot-Prints
With Our Following The Word Of The Great King 
Through Seeing, Understanding, Accepting
And 
Doing As He Gently Bids Us
Our Service To Our Lord Becomes A Way Of Life For Us 
And
Decidedly Keeps Us Out Of The Clutches Of Satan, King Fraud! 

Jesus Christ Is Above, Before, Behind, And Beside Us: 
Take The Word Of Jesus With You 
And 
Stand With The Brave!

 Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, We Take Our Humble Position In Your Holy Presence!










PRAYER:


Father, 
Sorrows Are Abounding
And
Our Hearts Are Seemingly Floundering
On The Temptuous Sea Of Circumstance 
Like A Leaking Vessel Overloaded And Tormented 
By The Angry And Cruel Waves Of Regret
If Only, Why Me, And Where Are You, Lord!?! 

We Take Our Humble Position In Your Holy Presence 
As Members Of The Household Of Faith
Faithful, Obedient, Enduring, Hoping
And
Ever Remembering What You Did For Us Yesterday
What You Are Doing Today
- Most Of Which We Will Never Know About In This Life -
And
We Lean, Strong In Your Word
On Your Blood-Bought Promises Of
A Grand And Glorious Tomorrow 
As We Choose By Saving Grace To Trust You
Our Creator, Savior, Sustainer, Maintainer, Redeemer
Lord, God, Kind King, And Forever Faithful Friend! 

Please Help Us To Remain Steadfast, Strong
And
Very Courageous
Knowing That Your Blessings Cannot Fail
That You Are The Good Shepherd Always On Duty And Vigilant
That Your Refuge For Us Is Guarded By Your Holy Angels Invincible
And
Knowing That We Are Safe In Your Secret Place Of Prayer 
Where All Is Well
And
Will Be Well With Our Purchased-From-Sin Souls! 

Please Help Us To Faithfully See To
The Care And Keeping Our Own Souls 
So That We Will Be Overcomers Of Self And Sin
And
Hear You Say In The Glad Day:
"Welcome Home, My Child
My Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Please Speak Peace Over Us, Lord
Because
We Love And Worship You!
AMEN!!!
