VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: THE BIRTH-RIGHT: Waiting For A Meal Isn't Deadly!









Red Bean Stew Is Delicious 
And
So Are A Multitude Of Other Dishes 
But
Based On Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge
Blessed Promise 
And
Outright Warning
I Am Not Willing To Sell My God-Given Birth-Right Of 
Eternal Bliss, Peace, Joy And Rest
For The Happy-Belly Joy Of One Meal! 

Would You!?! 

Brethren, 

Almighty God's Sacrifice ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 
Guarantees Us The Birth-Right Of Eternal Life With Christ 
Aka Immortality
Incorruptibility
A New Name
The Crown Of Life
And 
A Forever Place In The Father's House That 
No One Else May Claim 
Either By Coercion Or Deceit
Quit-Claim Deed Or Supposed Outright Purchase! 

In The Name Of Jesus
Don't Sell What You Can't By Back!

Thirsty Or Supposedly Dying Of Hunger
We Have The Promise That Our Bread And Water Are Sure 
So Don't Stop Short Of The Father's Tents Of Safety 
To Indulge Over-Indulged Self 
And 
To "Enjoy" The Temporary Convenience That 
Eternally Costs! 

Over-Indulgence Is Sin: 
Self-Denial Is Not! 

Waiting On Your Blessing Is No Weight! 

Weighing Convenient Fast-Food As More Valuable 
Aka More Beneficial Than Your Eternal Blessing 
Is 
Unadulterated Folly Aka Bold Sinning! 

Please Think On These Things Now 
While Abundance Is Available! 

Choosing To Miss A Meal Or Two
Just Because You Can
Will Surely Build Self-Control
Aka Staying Power
When Evil Starts Throwing About Its Ungodly Power!

Waiting For A Meal Isn't Deadly! 

Peace!


Don't Live For Your Belly!
Live By Faith!

Dare To Hate ... Sin!


Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish ...



The Only Time That A Christian Should Be Called A Hater
Or Should Indulge In Hatred
Is 
When It Applies To Hating Sin! 

Any Other Usage For Hate
- Which Always Leads To The Desire To Hurt
To Physically Harm Others
Is 
Satanic
And 
Is Severely Condemned By The Lord! 

Hate Leads To Murder 
And 
No Unrepentant Murderer 
Shall Enter The City Of God!

Look Around And See The Lives Ruined 
By Misdirected, Misapplied, Misused Hatred 
And 
Tremble Knowing That But For The Grace Of God 
You Could Be Rotting In Prison 
Because 
You Hated Someone And Committed Murder
Or You Could Be Rotten And Forgotten In A Cold Grave 
Because 
Someone Hated And Killed You! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Give Satan Power To Control You 
By Indulging In Hatred Misapplied!

Hate Sin!
Hate Satan!
Hate The Lusts That Would Cause You 
To Sin Against Jesus Christ 
And 
Your Own Soul 
But 
Do Not Play In Satan's Workshop 
By Hating Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died! 

Misused Hatred 
Is 
A Convenient "Devil-Delicious" 
Maliciously-Wrapped
And 
Malevolently-Distributed Candy-Bomb
And
If You Have Such "Candy" In Your Heart
Please Dial 1-800-Call-Jesus Aka Pray Without Ceasing
And 
Bare Your Soul To The King Who Is Always Available!

Remember ...

His Holy Spirit ... The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Judgment -
Defuses And Destroys All Of Satan's Weapons!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Dare To Speak Peace ... And Do Love!

Self, Sin And Satan
Are An Unholy Triumvirate:

Self Leads To Sin
And
Satan Encourages People
To Indulge Self
And
To Practice Sin!

**--**--**--**--**

Jesus Christ ... Our Savior
Died
To Save All Of Us
From Self, Sin And Satan:
Choose To Be Saved!

FAITH AND HOPE: Self-Exaltation Versus Self-Examination + PRAYER: Remind Us To Always Pray, Dear Father!



It Came To Pass On A Certain Day 
In The Midst Of The Congregation That
Self-Examination Was Attacked By Self-Exaltation
Who Had Self-Sufficiency
And
Self-Indulgence 
Both Standing Close By
One On The Left Hand And The Other At His Right Hand!

For His Part ... In His Right Hand
Self-Examination Was Gently Holding 
Constant, Heartfelt, Prayer!

It Was An Uneven Match-Up From The Get-Go
And
Know-It-All Self-Exaltation
Did Not Fear ... Nor Neglect
To Tell Self-Examination So!

You Can't Even Think For Yourself!
You Are A Loser!
Look At Those Cheap Shoes On Your Feet! 
You're A Loser Always Having To "The Savior" To Creep! 

Self-Examination
In The Quiet Of His Heart
Said To Himself:
There But For Your Grace, My Lord, I Go! 
Help Me, Dear Father
My-Wise-In-His-Own-Eyes Brother To Reach! 
Please Lay On My Heart Words Of Consideration
So That I Do Not Get Into A Tongue And Teeth Collision
And Send Him Off, Indignant, To The Wily King Fraud! 


To Self-Exaltation
Self-Examination Calmly, Carefully, Deliberately, Said:

Self-Exaltation, 
I'm Sorry That You Feel That Way
But I Creep To My Lord And Savior Boldly 
So That I Do Not Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay! 
I Accept The Lord's Checks And Balances
And I Pray Constantly As Protection Against The Known Foe
And I Invite You To Get To Know Him Personally
So That Of Willing Sinning
You Will Choose To Let Go! 

I Was Born A Sinner
But In Sin, I Shall Not Die
Because Jesus Christ My Savior ... For Me, Personally 
On Mount Calvary Did Die! 

We Walk Together Because With Him I Do Agree
And I Choose To Humble Myself Before Him
Instead Of Exalting My Self
And Pretending To The World At Large
That I'm What, Without Him, I Can Never Be! 

I'm A Child, A Student
A Servant And A Saint! 
I've Taken Jesus Christ As My Captain
So That In The Road To Mount Zion
I Shall Not Hunger, Get Lost
Or Under The Buffeting Of The Adversary
Ignominiously Faint!

The Lord Is My Shepherd
My Rock And My Sure Refuge
And By My Following Him Faithfully
Enduringly
I Have Heaven To Gain 
And The Burning Hell To Refuse!

Every One Of Us
Be Ye Self-Exalting
Or Self-Examining
Will Have An Account To Settle
Which Will Clearly Show Our Mettle!

Your Works Will Either Stand And Prosper
Or They Will Fall To The Ground And Perish
And I Tell You Truly
The Reward Of All You Self-Indulgent Ones
Is Not Something That I Would Relish Or Cherish!

I Pray For You With All Sincerity!
I Speak To With Love ... In Christian Charity 
And Beg You, Please
Reform Your Ways Because Before Very Long
We Shall Stand Before The Lord, The King
The Ancient Of Days
Who Knows, Who Sees, Who Feels
And Is In All Things!
We Created Beings ... His Creatures
Cannot Hide From Him
A Single, Solitary Thing!

I Examine Myself
To Know My Every Weakness
And I Repair Unto Him
Who Strengthens Me To Be Like He Is!

I Cannot Be Like You
For I Choose To Be Like
Who Is The Author And Finisher Of My Faith
And The Very One Who Forgives My Sin
And Who Showers Me With Unmerited Favor 
Which Is His Gift Of Moment By Moment
Free Grace!

Remember This, My Misguided Friend 
When You Love The Lord Of Life
You Truly Love Your Self! 
When You Put Your Self 
Before The Lord Of Life 
You Are Your Own God 
And You Earn For Your Own Self
The False God's Reward! 
Worship The Living, Holy, God! 
Humble Your Self
And Stop Being Proud! 

Satan Is Proud! 
Satan Loves Self! 
Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 
Get Him Out Of Your Bosom 
And Get Off Of His Reserved-For-Damnation Shelf! 
Reach For The Extended Hand Of Hope
And Stop Letting Satan Choke You
With Your Own Self-Made Cherished-Sin Rope!

Self-Exaltation Could Not Utter
A Single, Solitary, Note! 

To Strike While The Iron Was Still Hot
Self-Examination Then Said:



Image result for psalm 36:7-9


 
Self-Exaltation,
Please Take Comfort In The Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Of Life And Light 
Who Promises Us His Fatness ... His Abundant Blessings 
Both Now And Forevermore! 

To The Gathered Brethren, He Said:
 
Brethren,

What We See With Our Blind Eyes 
Is 
Narrow And Finite 
So Let Us By The Strength Of Faith 
And 
The Courage Of The Blessed Hope
Take Jesus At His Living Word 
So That We Will Enjoy All That Is In 
His River Of Pleasure! 

Trust, Obey, Pray
Give Praise
Do Good
Endure Through The Fight Of Faith
Be Faithful
Learn All Things From The Lord Jesus
And
We Can All Be Sure That We Will Be Gloriously Blessed! 
Eternity Awaits Us!

PRAYER:

Dear Father,
Please Grant Me
The Strength Of Faith
And
The Courage Of Hope!!
Increase Our Love For Our Lord Jesus
And
Bless Us To Be Tied Up
In Salvation
So That The Life's Work
That Is Sanctification
Does Not Become For Us
A Wink And A Nod
Popular Conversational Trope!

Remind Us Always, Father
That Men Should Pray
And
Not Faint
And
Keep Us In Your Holy Care!

Please Bless Us To Continually Hear
The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
And
To Obey The Gospel Call
So That We Shall Indeed Be Blessed
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Sincerely Pray And Humbly Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

CERTAIN HOPE: Risk!?! This Is Reward!


... The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones Learnt By Bitter Experience

And

The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones You Don't Have To Pay To Learn!

Come On, Man!

That Is Impossible!
Both Reasons Can't Be The Best!

If Something Is The Best
It Is The Only One!
Get Your Story Straight!

May I Say That
If You Had Chosen To Listen 
Until The Very End Of My Presentation
You Would Have Heard Me Say The Following:

One Lesson Is Learnt Best
Through The Payment For Disobedience

And

One Lesson Is Learnt By Choosing To Obey
Because
The One Who Made The Rule, Regulation
Law, Commandment
Is 
Appreciated ... Trusted
Believed ... Honored ... Worshipped!
He Is Your God Holy
And
In Your Eyes
His Word Is Sacrosanct ... Sufficient!

I Made My Binding Decision
First, Because Of Self-Induced, Bitter, Personal, Experience: 
I Found Out That His Way Was Better
And
Then, Finally
Because Of Love And Gratitude
And
Obvious, Identified, Present And Future Gain:
His Reasons Why I Should Follow Him Proved Better For Me
Than My Doing What Felt Good To Me!

I Attended Both "Public" Schools
And
By Exercising My Free Will
And
Utilizing My Free Choice
I, Being Wiser
Chose ... Choose ... To Believe The Eternal God
Who Wrote A Personal Letter To Me
On The Parchment Of His Perfect Life
Written With Ink Made Of His Innocent Blood
With The Pen Made Of His Redeeming Love
Carved By His Holy Light
To Give Me A Certain Hope Provided By 
His Personal Sacrifice 
To Give Me A Forever Home In His House
In The Living, Unshakeable, Kingdom Of Almighty God!

I Trust The Lord: He Is Faithful!
I Trusted The Lord: He Is Truthful!
I Am Trusting In The Lord: He Is Reliable!

The Lord Is My God: He Is Trust-Worthy
Dependable
Constant
And
Unchanging
And
He Is My Rock
My Defense
My Only Hope!
He Helps And He Heals!
He Seals And He Reveals
So, Because Of His Unfailing Grace To Me
Whereby I Obtain Mercy
And
Pardon And Cleansing
For Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
I Completely Trust Jesus Christ The Lord ...!

... Our Soon-Returning King!

Serving The Lord Abundantly Pays
And 
Any "Risks" That I Take
By Faithfully, Enduringly, Following Him
Amounts To ... Results In ... Reward!
I Can't Say The Same About Following Satan
The Known God-Fraud!

Indeed!

Jesus Christ Is Creator
Savior And Redeemer
Provider And Sustainer
And Ever True And Faithful
Loving, Blessing, Giving And Forgiving!

He Is Not A Fraud!
He Is Almighty God!

Self-Indulgence ... Undisturbed!?!

Prideful Indulgence
Pleasurable Self-Indulgence
And
Undisturbed Self-Indulgence
Cared Not One Wit For Soul-Care Nor Self-Denial
And
They Valiantly Strove To Forget The True And Living God!

To Put It Quite Plainly
These Three Set The Bar Real High When It Came To 
Indulging Self-indulgence ... Undisturbed!

They Epitomised Self-Delusion
And
They Were Pleased To See Some Folk Following Them
Some Other Folk Desiring To Follow Them
And
All Blindly Emulating Their Light Grasp 
On Things Which Vigilant Christians 
Ought To Take To The Lord Christ
In Prayer
Or Prayer And Fasting!

Misguided Thinking ...

These Moojins 
- Certain People Even Called Them Moon-Donkeys -
Considered Life To Be "Just For Living!"
AndThe Non-Stop Party
For Having The Good Old Blast!

On The Issue Of Jesus Christ's Gift Of Faith
And
Increasing Faith
They Had No Time Nor Thoughts As Regards
Talking About Faith
Living In Faith
Or Working Their Faith
So Increasing Faith Was Not Even A Blip On Their Radar!

As Was Inevitable
A. Preacher Mann Came Into Town
And
At The Revival Time Crusade
- Which Everybody Seemed To Be Attending -
He Gave Them The Length Of His Tongue
Telling Them About Unchecked Self
Ignored Brother
And
Can't Be Bothered With Other
Soul Lover
And
Salvation Cover!

Preacher Mann ... A Real Preacher Of Righteousness
Had A Brief From The Eternal
The One God Holy, Just, Kind And True
And
He Was Laying It All On The Line
- No Holds Barred -
But
With Compassionate Kindness
Having Recognized And Accepted
And 
Believing That
But For The Grace Of The Living God
There He Walked, Too!

Thinking Deep Thoughts ...

You Know
When Self And Indulgence Contemplate
Communicate 
And
Commiserate
It Is Inevitable That They Will Become One
And 
Through The Short Span Of Mortal Life
- Which They Disavow -
They Will Seek To Transit ... Undisturbed
By Working, Watching, Waiting, Faith Now
And
Awesome, Dreadful, Sight Later!

Thought Patterns Are Juiced ...

Spirituality Was For Saps!
Right-Doing Was A Rip-Off!
Truth Was A Tear-Head!
Blessings Were Bought!
Belief Was Blighted, Benighted
And
The Name Of Christ Was Bandied About Like A Curse!

Cleansed Eyesight ...

For The Tripping Trio
Blinding Awareness Of Purchased Soul-Condition
Put All O' Their Behavior Into Instant Focus
And
Finding Help
Became Their Operating Locus!

Suddenly
Truth And Righteousness Were No Longer Hocus Pocus!

Light Was Shining In Dark Places
And
They Could See Of Sordid Past ... Innumerable Traces 

Truth Is Often Stranger Than Fiction
And
Without Blinking
They Rapidly Made The Decision That
Base And Brutish Were Their Known And Practiced Predilections!

They Availed Themselves
After A Brief Battle With Fallen Angel
Evil Spirit
And 
Damned Demon
They Gracelessly, Fearlessly, Embraced
Soul-Searching
Confession Of Known Sin
Repentance Toward The Father
And
Hungered For
And
Embraced The Daily Gift Of The Faith Of Christ Jesus!
They Finally Recognized
And
Avidly Appreciated
The Unmerited Favor Aka Grace Of The Eternal God!
They Finally Saw Through 
The Machinations Of King Fraud!

The True Light ...

Finally, Actually, Really Seeing Through New Eyes
They Indulged No More Random Acts Of Rejecting Truth
No More Living Like A Louse
No More Neglecting The Soul House
No More Operating With Vengeful Spirits 
And
Indulging The Gainsaying Joust!

The Cross Of Christ Became Their Crest
And
Accepting That There Is Eternal Life With Christ
They Chose Water Baptism
Aka Full Body Immersion!

They Chose The Life Of Light!
They Boldly Changed Sides
And
Wittingly Walked The Strait And Narrow Way
Unto Eternal Life! 

Broadway No Longer Held Any Appeal
And
They Chose To Indulge In Destroying
The Known-Demonic Device!

Christ's Love Became Their Life
And
Effectively
They Participated Actively
- Against Satan, The One Base -
In The Mortal Strife! 

They Desire The Glorified Life
And
They Learned To Pray!





Brethren,
As Committed Christ-Followers
We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing!
We Are To Go To The Lord ... In Faith
- No Doubting -
Consistently, Persistently,
To The Point That, If God Were A Man
And
Able To Be Wearied By Our Constant Cries For Aid
He Would Say, 

"Enough Already! Take This!"

Almighty God Is Not A Man
And 
Our Prayers Are Not A Bother!

Our Persistence Says,

"Lord, I Believe! 
Please Help Me! 
From You, A Gift I Desire To Receive!"


Bless Yourself By Praying With Passion!
God Hears With Love And Compassion!
Pray According To God's Will For You
And 
You Will Be Gloriously Blessed!
That's A Memorialized Promise Of God!

Never Forget, Though ...

Known Sin Must Be Confessed!

Self Is A Bold Sinner
And
Self Brings Shame! 
Praying Proves That We Are Dependent
Upon The Omnipotent God
For Comfort And Aid!

**--**--**--**--**

Bow Your Heart
And
Be Eternally Blessed!

CLUB OF INDULGENCE: No Value In Virtue?!


Rejecting Reproof
Had Amassed A Substantial "Fortune"
Rolling The Dice Of Self-Deceit
In The High Roller Haven
Club Of Indulgence!

He Is Right Now Headed
- Self-Righteously -
For Loss Of The Soul
That Dale Of The Damned
The No-Come-Back-From Land!

This State Of His Affairs
Was Long In Coming
BUT
Inevitable
BECAUSE
He Considered His Objectionable Traits Of Character
- Penchant For Perjury, Ignoble Deeds Etc. -
Attributes To Be Cultivated
AND
Admired!

He Roundly Despised Being
Reproved
Corrected
Directed
Chastised
BECAUSE
- As He Said -
They Stymied His Personality
Prevented Him From Being Him Self
AND
Stopped Him From Excelling!

Just So You Know...

He Is Also Given To Excess In Making Excuses!

Whoever Sought To Reign Him In
Was Called Jealous
Fault-Finding
AND
For Good Measure
Was Accused Of
Every Vile Thing Imaginable!
He Became A Lil' Satan! 

Rejecting Reproof Accused 
Accused Accused
The Brethren
AND
Refused Refused
Absotootulootly Refu-sed
From Wrong Paths
To Take The Narrow Road Called Turn-Back!

What Is Really Hurtful
Painful
Sad To See
Is That
He Has The Ability
The Skill
The Potential
To Be A Real Success
In The Service Of The Kingdom's Lord!

It Could Still Happen ...

He, Regenerated
Reformed
Faithful
AND
Enduring All Things For The Lord
Would Receive Heavenly Rewards!

I COULD Tell You That
He Is Just Satisfied With His Own Bad Attitude
Behavior
Character
AND
Was Just Walking In HIS Own Way
BUT
Alas And Alack ... I Can't!

Rejecting Reproof Started Acting ...
Well, He Wasn't Exactly Acting ...
He Started
AND
Continued Behaving
Actually Performing
Like A Plague Rat:

Scratch!
Whisper, Whisper! 
Scratch! 
Bite! 
Pee! 
Move On ...!


If You Know Anything About The Ellipsis
You Have To Know
That THAT "Move On ... !"
Actually Means
Move On To Another Victim
AND
Start. All. Over. Again 'N Again!

Rejecting Reproof Is Just Like That!
AND
To Prove It
He Roundly Despises
Denigrates
Disapproves Of
True Honest
Just Pure
AND
Lovely
AND
Poisonously Hates That One Called Good Report
AND
Finds No Value In Virtue
AND
Wants No Poor Man's Praise
AND
When Called To Account
Emphatically States:

These are Not Things That I Choose To Think About!

He Lives On Boardwalk Own Way!
He Prefixes Every Comment Of Gravitas With:

I AM ...!"

He Refuses To "Take A Knee!" In Contrition
Or For Repentance
AND
Cannot Visualize
The Profit In Prayer
Nor The Prize For Purity
So
Don't Try To Paint Him Any Picture!
He Does Not Care!

Well ...

I Shall Here Say:

Today Fuh Me! 
Tomorrow Fuh You!
Every Day Got A 4 o'clock
AND 
Every Pig Got Sa'rday Mornin'!


Comeuppance Is Coming
AND
No Matter How Slow 'e Roll
He Ain't No Way Never Late!
Whenever He Arrives
He IS On Time!

Oh-Oh!
Don't Look Now
BUT
He's Heeere!

A Word Of Warning:

The Stone That The Builder Rejects
Is Become The Cornerstone
Aka
The Correction That You Reject
Is The Very One That Will Save Your Life!

Jesus Christ Was Not Comely
BUT
His Message Of Salvation Says:

Come Ye ...!

Need I Say More?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Believe It ... Or Not!





You May Choose
To Believe It ... Or Not
BUT
Unobtrusive Humble Poor
Was The Savior Of Mankind
The Lord Of Life
The King Of Creation
BUT
He Was Not Given To
Self-indulgent Displays
Of Great Pomp As A Usual Circumstance!

He Was Despised By Carnality's Clan
AND
By The Religious Glitterati
Hated
To His Very Core! -
It Was Not For Show!

You Would Not Believe
That He Was The Creator Of Man
God
Infinitely Kind
For
His Divinity Was Wrapped Up
Cloaked, If You Will
In The Sodden Garment Of Humanity
Prone To Sin - But Sinless
Prone To Temptation - But Guiltless
Hunted By Satan - But Not Caught
Tormented - But Not Terminated
For
As He Said Of Himself:


I Lay Down My Life -
No One Takes It From Me! 
I Shall Rise Again!



They All Thought It Was An Idle Boast
Because They Knew
- Of A Surety -
That A Once-Dead Man
Could Only Ever Be Known Again
As A ... Ghost!
They Were Clear On The Fact
That The Dead Cannot Live Again!
Or So They Thought!

Unobtrusive Human Poor
Before He Attired Himself
In Mankind's Robe
AND
Descended Into
Mankind's Veil Of Tears
Was Known
AND
Enthusiastically Worshipped
In The Heavenly Realm
As The Only Begotten Son Of The Father
The Ancient Of Days
AND
He Was Also There Known As King Glorious
The Pet Of Heaven!
He Was Greatly Beloved!
He Is Love!

Would It Surprise You To Know
That Unobtrusive Humble Poor Came To The Earth
To Return Man To His Father
BUT
He, Himself 
Arrived As A Defenseless Baby
In Need Of Earthly Parents
To Nurture Him
AND
Of Him To Take Care?!

As An Obviously Helpless
Apparently Defenseless Baby
He Had Enemies
In The Form Of Herod The Great
- A Murderously Vile And Godless Man -
Who Was A Tenant King Of The Roman Pagans
The Jewish Nation's Overlords
AND
The One Who Is
The Ultimate In Reprobates
AND
Who Was
The Most Beautiful 
The Most Musical
Creature
Ever Expressed From The Creator's Hands
Named Lucifer - The Covering Cherub
Now Called Satan
- The Adversary -
Who Was Cast Out Of Heaven
AND
Fallen To The Earth
With No Fixed Place Of Abode
- He Is A Free-Ranging Spirit -
Who Hated Him Like Poison
AND
Wanted Him Dead, Dead, DEAD!

Battle Lines Were Irrevocably Drawn!
Thing Will Come
To An Explosive Head!

With The Passage Of Time
Unobtrusive Humble Poor
Became A Gentle And Kind 
Man
In The Favor Of The Father God!

He Was Baptised In The River Jordan
By The Man Called
The Voice That Cried
In The Wilderness:

Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord!


Who Was Likened Unto The Prophet Elijah!

The Godhead Three
Were All Present
All In Agreement
Each Filling His Own Position
At The Baptism!

Unobtrusive Humble Poor
Became The Christ
- The Anointed One -
On That Very Day Of His Baptism
AND
Started Out On His Mission
- As The Seed Of Eve
The Mother Of All Living -
To Crush The Head Of The Serpent
Aka Satan
Fka Lucifer!

In The Fulfillment Of The Mission
He Would
- Ultimately -
Have His Heel Bruised!
It Did Hurt!

He Was Roundly Despised
AND
Rejected
By Vile Men
AND
One Of His Closest Friends
- Who Ate His Blessed Bread -
Sold Him Out For Silver
When He Could Have Had Eternal Gold
In Heaven!

His Betrayer's Unfair Gain
Did Not Prosper Him
For
He Committed Suicide
AND
His 30 Pieces Of Illgotten Silver
Purchased A Field Of Blood -
A Burying Ground!

Unobtrusive Humble Poor
Was A Man Of Sorrows
AND
Well-Acquainted With Grief
Who Healed The Sick
Fed The Poor
AND
- No Surprise Here -
Asked Man To Believe On Him
IFThey Willed To Walk Through
Heaven's Pearly-Gate Door!

Another Close Friend
- Talkative Boastful Peter -
Denied Him!
The Sanhedrin Decried Him
BUT
The Heavenly Father Succored Him
AND
He 
- Ever Always Obedient -
Did The Will Of The One Who Sent Him -
His Life Was Not Even
34 Years Long!

From Teacher
Healer
Master
Prophet
To
Condemned
Sacrificed
Dead
Risen
To
To Heaven Returned
To
High Priest
Advocate
Savior
To
King
Judge
Returning Soon
Is Christ Jesus - My Savior
Not Some Vain Man
Who Died Too Soon!


I Shall Follow You, My Savior
I Know Not What My Lot Shall Be
But
I Know You
And
That Is Enough!


Please, Lord
Bless Keep And Save Me
To Do Your Bidding
To Walk In Your Light
To Live Right
To Stay In The Faith Fight
And
In The Great Day
See You In Delight!
AMEN.



I Believe Him!
Won't You?
Please Walk With Him!
I Do!
Take The Hand Extended From
The Son Of God
The Hope Of Man
AND
At The Appointed Time
You Shall
Range Around Glory Land!

The Promise Of God
Is Given
To Those Who Choose To Believe!
