VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Remember Gideon's Army!

KJV Judges 7:17
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
The Composition OfJudge Gideon's Army Should Be 
A Warning And Clue
A Hope And A Help To Us Collectively And Individually 
On This Our Pilgrim Journey! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
The Trumpet Sounding A Call To Arms 
Blew A Distinctive Sound Saying:

"Enemies About And Abound!
Help Needed! 
Come Now!" 

Thirty-Two Thousand Willing And Able Souls Answered The Call 
And 
Were Provisioned For Battle! 

The Almighty Sent Word Commanding:

"If You Are Afraid, Go Home!" 

Twenty-Two Thousand Frightened Souls Laid Down Their Arms 
And 
Went Home! 

Was It To Their Home-Home 
Or To Their Long-Home Until The Resurrection!?! 

Many Able Christians Ask The Lord To Let Them Rest In The Grave 
Because 
They Are Fearful Of Giving In To The Flesh During The Time Of Trouble 
And, Thereby
Disappointing The Lord! 

Ten Thousand Willing Souls Were Left To Face 
The Marauding Horde Of The Enemy! 

The Almighty Then Proceeded To Test These Souls 
To Draw Out An Elite Force 
To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 

Of The 10,000 Souls Thought Ready For Earthly Battle
Only 300 Souls Were Found Fit To Fight The Good Fight 
After Drinking At The Water ... Of Truth! 

Nine Thousand, Seven Hundred Souls Were Sent Home 
For Being Unwary
And 
For Being Careless 
In Their Preparation For Scorched-Earth War! 
Being Unwary And Careless Kills! 

Consider That ... 

There Was Going To Be Life After The War 
So Was It A Case Where The Almighty Was Sending Them Home-Home 
With The Full Knowledge Of Why They Were Sent Home 
So That They Would Have The Opportunity To Repent, Regroup
And 
Be Re-Educated By The Holy Spirit 
On And In The Living Word!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Those 300 Vigilant, Watchful, Souls 
Were Issued Lights ... Which Were Covered With Clay Jars
And 
Trumpets! 
(Are We Not Vessels Of Clay Holding Treasure?) 

At The Appointed Hour
In Their Three  Ranks
And 
Silently Waiting In Their Assigned Places
They Followed The Good Word Of Their Leader 
To Do As He Did While Uttering What He Had Said: 

"For The Lord And For Gideon!" 

In Obedience 
And 
Energized By The Word
They Broke Their Clay Jars
Held Aloft Their Bright Lights
And 
Energetically Uttered The God-Breathed Word 
And 
Utterly Routed The Enemy Of Souls! 

Brethren, 

Gideon Is A Type Of Christ! 

Those 22,000 Souls Who Had Been Afraid Of The Battle 
And 
Were At Home-Home
Would Ultimately See That They Were Unnecessarily Afraid 
Because 
The Battle Was A Spiritual Battle 
Fought By The Lord Himself 
Using Men Using The Brightly Shining Light Of Life 
And 
The Unmistakable, Unforgettable Word Of Truth! 

Preparation Is Only Good 
If 
We Believe In What We Are Doing 
And 
Trust Him Who Is Our Leader! 

I Pray That The Light Of Life Of The Lord Is Hidden In You
- The Jar Of Clay - 
Until The Day Appointed For Its Revealing! 

You, Me, We Have A Job Of Work To Do! 
Let's Keep Our Eyes On Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

In The Service Of The Living God!





In The Service Of Love
- The Service Of God -
Is The Will To Please
By Serving God
According To His Requirements
AND
To Do It Willingly
Eagerly
Because We Return His Delightsome Love!

Doing The Will Of God
Is Not A Burden
To The One Who Trusts
Who Loves
Who Honors
Who Worships
Who Readily Obeys
Because The Pleasure Derived From 
Being In God's Service
Beautifully Lights Life's Oft' Dim Pathways!

There Is No Turning Away From Duty!
There Is No Stopping The Glorious Work To Laud Self!
There Is No Wondering Who Is Not Working
AND
There Is Wandering Around 
The Self-Serving Soul's Market Shelves!

The One Who Loves The Lord
Finds
That It Is Its Own Reward
AND
All Who Work Out Of Love
In The Service Of The Lord
Will Find That With Divinity
They Walk In Accord!

I Love The Lord!
I Think Of Him
AND
I Work For Him
AND
If With Endurance
I Stay The Course
In The Day Of Appointment
There Shall Be No Finding Of Spiritual Adultery
AND OBVIOUSLY
No Eternal Separation 
By The Condemnatory Divorce!

Let Us Willingly Obey
The Lord's Commands
As
In His Service
We Faithfully Stand!

Lord Almighty,
We're Yours To Command!
In Jesus' Name
Keep Us Faithful!
AMEN.

In The Service Of The Master





In The Service Of The Master
No-Envy Is Good-Name!
Satisfied Is Never Second
AND
Fulfilled Is The Name Of Life With God Is Not A Game!

HAPPY Walks About Happy!
Gladness Is Not A Follow-Fashion Fad!
Peaceful Is Not Godiva Chocolate
AND
Hope Is Not A Tablet Writing Pad!

Home Is Home 
Not Some Hell-hole!
Hell Is A Blight Soon To Eternally Pass!
Yesterday Is The Past
Confession Cleans
AND
Our Repentance Is True!

God Is The Our Father
Whose Love Is Top Shelf
- No Shelf Really -
All-Encompassing
Limitless
Eternal
With No One Ever Considered
Sub-Standard
A Reject
Nor
Last Class!

In The Service Of The Master
There Are No Chains!
Will Is Free
Choice Is Free
AND
Decision IS By Self
For
The Master Does Not Foist On Us Himself!

God Rules!
God Reigns!
God Loves Us All
AND
He Calls
AND
He Calls
Lifting Us Up
When We Do Fall
AND
Helps
AND
Heals
AND
Our Permitting
He Will 
- For Eternity -
Us Seal!


SERVING GOD SAVES!!
