HAPPY SABBATH + Read The Word With Wisdom And Understanding!

Beloved, 

We Have To Dare And Choose To Read The Living Word

With Wisdom And Understanding 

So That The Knowledge Which We Receive Will Bless Us

And 

By Our Desire To Serve Our Lord With Love And Faithfulness

Bless Others! 

How Often Have We Read The Words Of John 12:26

And 

Have Only Accepted Two Things: 

"If Any Man Serve Me

... He Will Be With Me 

... Him Will My Father Honor!?!" 

How Often Have We Ignored The Fact That 

We Are The Lord's Servants 

And

We Are To Follow Him Where He Leads

And 

As He Leads!?! 

The City Of God Whereto We Are Being Led

Is 

Also The City Of Life, Love, Gold, Beauty, Abundance

And 

The Craved Joy And Perpetual Peace! 

Why Then, Dear Ones

If We Have Jesus Who Is Our Everything

Who Will Give To Us All Things

Are We Choosing To Follow The Famous, Fabulous

And 

Known-Foolish Greedy Ministers Of 

The Other Gospel Of Another Jesus 

Who Preach Unrestricted Prosperity Now

Ungodly Power Here

And 

Unrestrained Passion Anyhow!?! 

Let's Choose To Learn From The Lesson Of 

The Rich Young Ruler 

Who Turned Away From The Eternity Of Bliss 

To, Instead, Love-Up His Money-Bags 

And

Despise His Brethren Of The Poor-Man Class 

Whose Care By Him, In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Would Have Blessed Him For All Eternity! 

Let's Not Get Ahead Of Ourselves 

Or Be Beside Ourselves! 

We Need Our Lord Jesus 

To Get To The Father 

To Be Honored By The Father! 

Self-Serving Is Satanic! 

The Sure Pay-Day 

Comes After The Honest Work-Day! 

Let's Humbly Follow Our Jesus ... In Love! 

Peace!

Have You Ever Seen A Half-Donkey Carrying A Load!?!

Lukewarm Is To Indifferent 

What Hot Or Cold Is To Enthusiastic! 

Beloved, 

Would You Want To Be In A Relationship, A Friendship, Or A Job 

Where Your Presence Is Considered "Meh!" Aka Unimpressive!?! 

Would You Pay Top Dollar For Almost Ice-Cream!?! 

Would You Worship The God Who Almost Created A Moving You

Who Balked At Staying On The Cross To Save You

Who On-Again, Off-Again Contemplates Redeeming You

And 

Ever Tells You To Eat All You Want 

But 

Never Unlocks The Storehouse Of Good And Plenty!?! 

Since We Serve The God Who Can And Does

Who Gave His All To Give You His Best

Why Would You Ever Think That Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life 

Will Ever, Ever, Accept Anything Less Than 

Skin In The Game

Heart-Felt

God Is My All Worship, Praise

And 

Obedience From Any One Of Us!?! 

Jesus Christ Went All-In For Us: 

He Sweated Blood

And

He, Innocent, Gave Up His Life For Us Known Guilty! 

Can We In Truthfulness Do Less 

And 

Still Be Called Committed Christians!?! 

Have You Ever Seen A Half-Donkey Carrying A Load!?! 

If You Can Picture It

Then You Know What An Unenthusiastic

Uncommitted

Unconverted Christian Looks Like! 

It Ain't Pretty

Ain't Serving No Purpose

And 

Ain't Going Nowhere!

Total Commitment To Christ Is Job One! 

The Alternative Is To Be Abhorred! 

Any Questions!?! 

Peace!

Pride Is Poison + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves!

It Is Significant To See Righteousness And Unrighteousness

Faithfulness And Faithlessness 

And 

Pride And Humility 

So Starkly Compared And Contrasted! 

Beloved, 

We Are To Live By Faith 

While Lovingly Humbling Ourselves Before The Lord Christ 

Who Will Lift Us Up In His Day Of Appointment 

Just As He Lifted Up Jacob, Joseph, Job, And Moses! 

We Are Not To Lift Up Ourselves 

In Pride And With Arrogance Like Lucifer: 

It Didn't Work Out For Him 

And

It Will Not Work Out For Us! 

We Love To Say With The Worldly-Wise That 

Man Appoints And God Disappoints 

But 

If We Look Closer

We Will Clearly See What Manner Of Defeat, Disaster

Destruction, And Deviltry Exists 

When Man Appoints Man

And 

Man Anoints Self! 

The Humble, Faithful, Servant Of God

Is

Always A Blessing To Mankind!

Pride Is Poison 

And 

Self-Aggrandizement Is Terminal Disease 

And

Neither Has A Place In The Heart Of 

The Committed-To- Christ Christian! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Lifting Up We Should Be Doing 

Is 

Lifting Up Our Souls To The Lord

Lifting Up Our Hands In Worship And Praise

Lifting Up Our Brethren

And 

Lifting Up Our Bibles And Our Spoons 

As They Convey To Our Bodies 

Our Very Necessary Daily Food! 

Pride Decimates! 

Faith Elevates 

And 

Humility Opens The Flood-Gates Of Blessing! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

Please Help Us Today

To Humble Ourselves Before You On Earth

Your Footstool

So That You Will Lift Us Up To Heaven

Your Throne

On The Glad Day That You Have Set! 

Amen!!! 

Be Wise To Rise To Glory!

What Have You Done For The Master!?! 

Are You Doubting What The Master Has Done

Is Doing Or Will Do For You!?! 

Are You Contemplating 

Why The Lord Needs You To Do Anything For Him 

When He Has Everything At His Disposal 

And 

Owns Everything Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown!?! 

Beloved, 

You, Personally, Are Precious, Special, To Our Dear Savior! 

No Person Living, Dead, Dying, Denying, Defying

Rigid, Rude, Recalcitrant, Or Ruthless 

Is 

Able To Change Almighty God's Love For 

And 

Desire To Have Us Accept The Gifts Given

And 

Perform Our Assignments To Gather With Him 

As We Tell The Good News Of Free-To-All Salvation

The Living God's Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, Faithfulness 

And 

Loving-Kindness 

Which Will Never Fail Us! 

You, Personally, Are The Apple Of Our Lord's Eye

The One For Whom He Poured Out His Innocent Blood 

So That You, Cleansed Thereby And Forgiven

And 

Willingly, Enduringly, Obediently Cooperating With Him

May Have His Everlasting Life! 

Please Allow The Naysayers To Swear

And 

The Gainsayers To Bray 

But

See To It, For Love Divine, That 

You Hold To Our God's Unchanging Hand 

Unphased By Opposition 

As You Love Yourself By Loving Your Savior 

By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Obey: Don't Stray! 

Pray: Don't Run Away! 

Be Wise: Rise To Stand Before The Throne Of God 

As The Obedient Child Of The King

The Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ

And 

The Trustworthy Servant Of The Eternal God! 

Peace!

DANGEROUS GROUND: Tread Carefully Before The Lord Of Life!

A Total Stranger Told Me That 

They Had Spent Three Months In The Hospital With Cancer

That Their Name Meant Servant Of God

That Satan Was, Is, Almighty God's Son

That The Holy Bible Was Not The Book

And 

That Nature Is The Book That 

Speaks The Best About Almighty God

And 

That He Had No Use 

For The Holy Men Inspired By Almighty God 

Who Allegedly Wrote The Holy Bible 

Because

The Inspired, Holy, Men Of God 

Are The Modern Day Pastors And Preachers 

Who Abuse And Rape Children!

Beloved, 

The Word Of Almighty God 

Cannot Be Separated From The Person Of Almighty God 

And

Accepting Only The Book Of Nature 

As Your Sole Source Of Belief 

Is 

Treading On Dangerous Ground!

Elevating Aka Worshipping Nature Aka The Creation

Instead Of Worshipping The Creator 

Is 

Idolatry 

Which Is Sin! 

Lucifer Now Satan

Is

A Created Being!

The True Servant Of God 

Is 

Obedient To The Preserved Word Of God 

And 

Does Not Choose To Raise Up An Altar To Folly 

Because 

Folly Makes Him Or Her Feel Good 

In The Crowd Of Disobedient Unbelievers!

Satan Is The Liar

Aka

The Father Of Lies!

Like It Or Not

The Word Of God Will Witness For Or Against Us 

According To Our Chosen Path To Glory! 

Making Car Noises 

And 

Standing In A Garage 

Does Not Make You A Car! 

Being Called A Servant Of God 

And 

Spreading Satan's Propaganda 

Will Not See You Among The Blessed 

And 

Forever Saved! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

The King Of Glory

The King Of Love

The Light Of Life

The Life Of Every Man

Is

The Truth

The Creator God

The Word Of God

The Word Made Flesh

Who Surely Dwelt Among Us

Is

The Only Way Home

To The Father's House!

Tread Carefully: 

There Is No Knowledge Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Without The Preserved Word Of God 

Which Testifies About Him! 

The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God

The Spirit That Leads Into All Truth

Inspired Holy Men Of God

To Write Down The Holy Word Of God! 

The Living God Is Not A Liar

And

We Need To Stop Confusing

Those Who Were And Are Called By The Lord Himself

With Those Who Call Themselves! 

Tares And Wheat Will Grow Together

Until The Day Of The Great Harvest! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Are You Bearing Fruit!?!

Fig Trees Are Known To Bear Fruit Twice A Year

Offer Great Shade

And

Speak To Us Of Peace And Prosperity!

Be Not, I Pray Thee, A Leafy, Fruitless, Fig Tree 

For Such A One As This Did Jesus Christ Curse 

For Having No Fruit To Still His Hunger! 

To Have ... To Be ... A Fruitful Tree 

Is 

A Blessing Beyond Measure!

 

A Laden Fig Tree 

Aka A Working, Watching, Waiting Servant 

Aka Saint Of God And Christ 

Is 

A Treasure Sheltered, Protected, Blessed 

And

Honored By The Lord, Our Master

The Kind King

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Are You At Your Post Of Duty Doing Willing Service 

Or Are You A Show-Pony Shaking Your Tail-Feathers

High-Stepping 

And 

Flinging Your Head Around To The Intoxicating Sounds Of 

The Bewitching Siren Of Sin 

Who Encourages The Careless

The Listless

The Loose And The Lawless

To Use Their Liberty As License To Disregard Duty!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have One Duty ... One Work ... To Perform: 

Serve The King 

And

Bear Fruit Unto Righteousness! 

Are You At Your Post!?! 

Will You Be Found Faithful!?! 

Our Master Is Coming 

And

He Is Hungry! 

He Sees Your Leafy Branches: 

Will He Find Fruit So That He Will Honor You 

And

Be Glad Of His Investment In Your Life!?! 

Please Pray About It! 

Don't Sell Out

The Savior For Silver! 

Don't Give Away

The God Of Grace For Gold! 

Don't Discard

What You Can't Buy Back

And

Don't Let Your Heart For Christ

Grow Cold!

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

Peace ... Not Pride ... Is Precious! 

CEMENT: Building The Love Relationship Is Everything!

"If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments! 

Speak Peace! 

Be Kind To Each Other! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 

Diligently Seek Me! 

Open Your Heart To Me! 

Pray Without Ceassing! 

Be Faithful! 

Endure All Things! 

Come Unto Me!" 

The Instructions Are Simple! 

The Instructor Is Loving ... Kind ... Divine! 

The Student ... A Servant

Is 

An Own-Way Child

Mortal ... Corruptible

With A Hill To Climb! 

The Stakes Are High: 

Obey

Endure

Keep Faith At Your Core

Give As You Have Received

Pray

Worship And Adore

Walk Through The Open Door 

And 

Eternity Is Thine! 

Will You Lose Out On Your Heavenly Inheritance 

Because Of 
An "I Can't Be Bothered To ... !" 

A "This Is Who I Am!" 

And 

An "It's All About Me!" Attitude!?! 

Our Heavenly Instructor

Our Father

- Our Forever Friend -

Can Be Hurt 
Just As An Earthly Parent, Child Or Friend Can Be Hurt 

But

Our Bad Behavior Costs Us 

Abiding Love

Heavenly Peace

Life Everlasting ... The Eternal Inheritance! 

Are You Following The Blessed Instructions!?! 

Are You Building The Love Relationship!?! 

Are You Walking Through The Only Door!?! 

Is Cement In Your Love 

Or 

Is Your Love Cement!?! 

Do You Value The Love Or The Loot!?! 
Do You Live In Carnal Lust ... The Lie 
Or

In Eternal Truth ... The Life!?! 

Think About It! 

Jesus Christ's Gift To Us

- The Gift Called Peace - 

Is

Perfect!!

WAITING, WATCHING, WORKING, WISE: Who You Be!?!

Roll Call Was On Tap!

The Groups Were Being Set!

Every Person Had A Designated Spot

To Which They Were Called To Step:

• Worriers
• Warriors
• Waiters
• Watchers
• Workers
• Wise
• Waiting, Watching, Working, Wise

All Were Designated

And 
Boy Howdy

It Showed A Significant Surprise!

Named Warriors Were Many!

Willing Workers Were Few!

Watchers Were Myriad!

Wise Were One Or Two!

Worriers Were Legion
And

Waiters Were No Big Deal

Because

They Included Me And You!

When The Dust Had Quite Settled

The Group Designated

Waiting, Watching, Working, Wise

Were The Willing Warriors

Who Sought To Emulate Lord Christ 
By Their Lived Lives!

These Take The Word Of The Master To Heart!

These Have Cast Their Burden On The Lord
And

These Have Chosen Not To Let The Deceiver Cause Them

To Make A Liar Of Their Lord!

They Are Not Anxious For Anything!

They Pray Humbly And Without Ceasing!

They Choose To Trust The Lord Each Day For Grace

And

They Willingly Exercise Their Daily Gift Of Daily Faith!

These Do Not Puff Up Themselves With Useless Titles!

The Only Title They Cherish 
Is

Faithful Child, Eager Student
Willing Servant Of The Eternal God

And

Because They Keep Their Eyes Fixed Upon Christ Jesus

They Have And Are Stirring Up The Enmity Of

Satan, The Piercing Serpent

Beelzebub The Bold

Leviathan The Gross Liar

Behemoth The Wannabe God 

The Damned-For-Eternity Fraud!

When They Were Asked What Makes Them Strong In Faith

When Everyone Knows That They Are Weak In Flesh

They, With One Voice, Spoke The Word

And

Made A Heartfelt Plea Where Their Words Could Be Heard:

Think About It ...

Those Who Walk Together, Agree! 
Those Who Extend Their Right Arms To Each Other

Clasp Them In Greeting

For Joy

In Fellowship

In Agreement

And 

To Seal A Covenant! 

Beloved, 

At The Right Hand Of The Lord 
Is 
Fullness Of Joy ... Joy Unspeakable! 

The Question Is

How Can You Have Jesus Christ At Your Right Side

And 

Be At His Right Side At The Same Time

To Make You Unmovable In Your Struggle 
Against Self, Sin And Satan

And 

To Be Able To Experience Joys Forevermore!?! 

Won't We Have To Be Beholding Him

Looking At Him 

Seeing Him In All His Beauty!?! 

To Clasp Right Hands

We Must See Each Other 

And 

Be Desirous  To Touch ... Each Other! 

Remember ... 

Touching In Agreement 

Is 

A Cooperative Act

And 

To Enjoy The Joys At The Right Hand Of The Lord 

Requires Reciprocated Love! 

Do You Love The Lord!?! 

Are You Touching The Lord!?! 

Are You Seeing The Lord!?! 

Are You At The Lord's Right Hand
The Right Hand Of Almighty Power!?! 

Please, Brethren, 

Check Yourselves 

And 

Dare To Get Right With The Lord Today

For Peace ... And Joy!

Please Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Watch, Work, And Humbly Wait 
As A True Warrior For The Holy Faith
Until He Shall Come To Claim Us
Who Are Known To Be His Very Own:

His Glory Awaits His Children Faithful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 + Blessing + My Servant, (Fill In The Blank)!?!

 THE BLESSING:

May The God Of Grace

Who Is In All

And

Is Our All

Bless You And Keep You Safe

And

Lift You Up Ever You Fall! 

Let Doing Good Be Your Gossip!

Let Speaking Truth Be Your Steed!

Let Living Faith Be Your Lip Balm Each Day

And

May God Bless You

In Your Thoughts

Your Words

And

In Your Deeds

As You Turn To Him

Instant, Constant, In Prayer!

Cast Your Burdens Upon Him

And

Bless Him

For His Myriad Blessings Upon You

Every Day!

VICTORY IN JESUS!

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

Have We Considered
- Honestly Considered -
What It Really Means
When The Lord Said To Satan:

Hast Thou Considered My Servant, Job?!

Job ...

Righteous
Caring
Hopeful
Helpful
Believing
Worshipful
Trusting
Obedient
Thoughtful
Thankful

Called
By The Lord Of Life, Himself:

My Servant.

The Lord Is Gracious!

Satan Is Malevolent!

Job ... Unsuspecting
Children ... Dead
Property ... Lost
Wife ... Foolish
Friends ... Miserable Comforters
Situation ... Hopeless
House Servants ... Careless

Faith ... Strong
Hope ... Fixed On The Lord

Into Every Life

A Little Rain Falls!

The Living God 

Does Not Leave His Children

To Battle Alone!
He Has Given The Command:

On My Name, Call!

If We Start From The End
AND
Return To The Beginning
We Will Understand That
Life Is Not Just For Living
BUT
For The  Securing Of

The Approval Of The Almighty God
So That Despite

• Storm Of Wind
• Fire Of "God" 
• Machinations Of The Fraud
• Know It All Friends
• Faithless Life Companions
• Missing Children
• Ruined Business
• Empty Pockets
• Destroyed Health
• Putrid Sores

AND

• Closed Doors

WHEN

You Are The Servant Of God
Your Outcome Is Mercifully Known
AND
Gracefully Assured
No Matter What
Your. Eyes. See.
Your. Body. Feels.
The. Public. Says.
The. Damned. Devil. Declares!

God IS!
God Is Able!
God Is Available!
God's Will For You
IS
Unassailable!

Brethren, Beloved ...

Believe And Live
Even If You Are Bodily Dying
For
By Dying Anchored In The Lord Christ
You Shall Live Again
To Feast On Heaven's Delights
At The Lord's Welcome Home Table
Never Again
To Battle The Known Lying Murdering Fraud!

Please ...

Unashamedly Love The Lord

Our Eternal God!
Your Name
My Name
 Is Engraved  In His Hand

AND
Because Of This
AND
In His Name
We Can
You Shall
We Will
You Do
Stand!

How Do YOU Stand?!

Will The Lord Call YOU

My Servant?!
