VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Strong In The Lord!

 



The Lord Equips The Called! 
We Are Called To Exercise Our Gift Of Faith 
And
Now Is Not The Time 
To Start Doubting The Faith Of Jesus Christ: 
It Cannot Fail! 

Beloved, 

We Are All In Need Of A Confidence-In-Christ Booster 
And
We Need Look No Further Than The Word Of Truth: 
It Cannot Fail! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The First Begotten Of The Dead! 

Jesus Christ ... Almighty God In The Flesh
Who Dwelt Amongst Us
And 
Died Amongst Us
And 
Was Buried Amongst Us
Did The Impossible! 

Jesus Christ ... Our True And Faithful King 
Caused Cruel Death To Give Living Birth 
And
Hallelujah, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
This Same Jesus Who Reigns And Rules In Beautiful Zion 
Is
Going To Make Death Give Birth 
To So Many Babies Of Christ's Love That 
Cold Death Is Going To Die The Everlasting Death 
Never To Be Seen In Almighty God's New Creation! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Creator 
And
Our Recreator 
If
We Choose To Enduringly Live 
By His Daily Gift To Us Of His Holy Faith! 

Heaven Is His Throne 
And
Earth Is His Footstool
And
Any Sorrow, Shame
Sickness, Guilt
Demonic Force
Or Distasteful Desire Hanging Over Our Heads 
Is
Most Assuredly
Under Our Living God's Feet! 

Look Up To Jesus ... And Live: 
Our God Is Able 
And 
Ready To Save Us! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ Saves
Protects
Provides
Preserves
And
Pursues Us
And
If And When Necessary
Punishes Us For Our Good
To Preserve Us In His Peace
And
To Get Us Home To His Perfect Paradise! 



The Peace Of The Lord Christ
Is
Perfection
And
Protection!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRIDE: Humble Yourself!



Sing Out My Soul to The Lord: HAPPY SABBATH + GAME-CHANGER: Love Hopes!



Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak  peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to  folly.



There Is Nothing More Silly To Behold Than 
Seeing A Person Who Obviously Needs Help From Almighty God
- Via The Hand Of Man - 
Pontificating That 
They Don't Need Help From Anybody ... At All
While Telling Others That 
They Are The Ones In Need Of Heavenly Help!

There Is None So Blind
As He Who Willfully Refuses
The Plain Truth To See! 

There Is The Savior 
The Redeemer
The Provider
The Forever-Friend ...

The Lord God Almighty Has Asked Us To Humbly Approach Him 
And 
Reason With Him
And 
Also Ask For What We Need! 

There's Always Something ...

The Problem Is That
Many Of Us Are Too Arrogant 
And 
Filled With Satanic Pride 
To Bow Before The Lord
To Ask For What We Need
To Hear What He Has To Say
And 
To Permit Him To Feed Us With Food That 
Is 
Good For Us 
According To Where We Are In Our Journey To Zion! 

Heads Up ... 

We Can't Learn When We Don't Listen
And
We Won't Learn When We Already Know Everything! 

Everybody Ought To Know ... 

Pride
- The Cause Of Lucifer's Fall - 
Is Now His ... As Satan ...
Most Used Weapon Of Mass Destruction 
For Picking Many Of Us Off The Path Of Purity
Productiveness
True Profit 
And 
Perfect Peace! 

Vrooom, Vroom ... 

Hearing 
Is 
An Automatic Car! 
Listening 
Is 
A Manual Car! 

Listen To The Lamb ... 

Walking In Disobedience 
Is 
Natural
But
Living In Obedience 
Is 
A Personal Choice! 

Beloved, 

To Hear The Lord Speak
We Need To Kill Pride
Humbly Acknowledge Our Need
Ask For Help
Close Our Mouths
And Then
Patiently Listen To Hear What The Lord Shall Say! 

When A Person Is Hungry
And
Food Is Made Available
They Eagerly Eat Until They Are Well Satisfied
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Don't Let Pride Cause You To Starve 
While You Are In Front Of A Plate Of Good Food 
From The Hand Of The Great God!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Peace With The Father Is Free! 


Naked And Ashamed
And
Cast Out Into Outer Darkness
Is
The Final Stop
For The Proud
And
The Unrepentant:
Don't Be Among Them!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRIDE - D.O.A! + PRAYER: We Are Committed To Christ, Dear Father!





... The Eye Is The Window To The Soul
And
Your Tone Of Voice Speaks To Your Ultimate Goal!

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
But
Unsurprisingly
Truth, Plainly, Compassionately, Spoken
-  Considered By Many To Be Egregious Words -
Often Leads To A Blood Bath!

So, Brethren, What Acronym Shall We Use
So That The Congregation Is Not Confused!?!

B. S. T. S.
Better Safe Than Sorry!

D. O. A...!

... Dead On Arrival!?!
Have A Heart, Man!

Oh, No!
You Misunderstand!
It Means Devils Offer Apples!
It Means: Don't Obfuscate - Ameliorate!

I'll Say That It Means
Delightful Opportunities Await
The Darlings Of The Lord
But Woe Betide The Deceived Followers Of
Satan, The Bold God-Fraud!

And I Say That Dead On Arrival Is Appropriate
To Describe Those Who Arrive At Judgment Day
With Their Known-Sin Unconfessed
Souls Unrepentant!

The Living-Sinner Shall Die!

The Prior-Dead Sinner
And
The Then-Dead Sinner
Shall 1,000 Years Hence Rise To Die Again ... 
Forever
Because
In And At The Love Of Almighty God
They Did Find Offence!

This Is Really Quite Amazing, Actually!
How Does A Created Being

Find Something ... Anything
In The Love Of The Living God 
To Ridicule
To Be Offended Thereby!?!

I Dare Say That In This We See The Hand Of Satan
- The Agent Of Shame -
That Fallen Angel Cruel
Who Thought To Denounce
Deny ... Defy
Dispute ... Denigrate
Bedevil
And
Destroy
His Own Creator
All The While Refusing To Recognize That
In That Stance Lay ... Abject Failure!

Brethren,

Let Nobody Fool You!
Pride Is Costly Array!
It Makes One Skin Cuffings
To Get The Cloth
The Sewing Of Which Requires One 
To Have Personal Currency
- No Discount -
With Which The Bill To Pay!

Let's Call Pride Exactly What It Is!
It's Bill Of Short Goods!

It Is A Sin Against Divinity!

Pride Is A Wide-Awake Delusion!
It's A Can't-Awake-From Illusion
Promoting Confusion
Adjuring Collusion
And

Leading Adherents To A Fiery Final Conclusion!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 
Please Hear Our Prayer!
We Are Committed To Performing
All Your Commandments:
Please Help Us Not To Permit Pride
Over Us To Hold Sway!

Satan Is The Bold Liar
Selling Man Upon Things 
That Should Never Be Sought
And
Failing Abjectly
To Tell The Truth
By Which He, In His Sin, Was Caught!

Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Is Lord, God And King!
Jesus Christ Is Our Master
And
He Is Acknowledged Creator Of 
Man And Everything!

Please Help Us, Dear Father
To Do Exactly As Our Jesus Did:
Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing
To Commune Constantly With You
To Seek You Ever For The Infilling Of
The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
For Strengthening By The Holy Angels
The Personal Guardians Of
The Children Of Faith
Who Also Influence Us
To Do The Good And The Right!

Father,
This Battle Is Yours
And
We Are Soldiers In Your Great Army!
Please Help Us To Remain Faithful
Enduringly Faithful
Having No Place In Our Surrendered Hearts
For The Sham
The Shame That Is Called Pride!
Please Help Us In Your Holy Love, Lord
Confidently To Confide And Abide!

The Signs Of The Times Are Everywhere!
Men's Hearts Are Failing Them From Fear
Of Those Things Which Shall Befall The Earth
And
Still More Men Have And Are Taking
The Path Of Least Resistance
Doing Anything And Everything
That Pleases Their Flesh
That Fills Their Eyes
That Speaks To Their Pride In Their Lives
And
The People Of The Living Word
The People Of The Book Of The Eternal God
Are Being Persecuted, Prosecuted
Condemned, Denied
Defiled, Displaced
And Dispatched ... No Grace!

Please, Father
Remember Your Promise To Abraham
Isaac And Jacob-Israel!
Remember Your Promises
As Spoken By Your Own Beloved Son
Our Savior, Jesus
That The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth
That No Child Of Faith Is Ever Alone
Forgotten
Nor Unforgiven For Repented-Of Sin
That All Things Work For Our Good
That There Is A Place Prepared For Us
In Your Many Mansions
That Jesus Is Coming Again, Soon
To Redeem Us Unto Himself!
We Believe You!
Please Bless And Keep Us
In Your Holy Care!

Remember Us, Lord!
Let Your Pitying Love Fall Upon Us, We Pray
For It Is By Holy Faith
That We Are Walking On The Strait Way
Headed To The Hill Zion!

Please, Father
Grant Us These Few Petitions
And
Hasten The Great And Glorious Day
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Humbly Pray
And
Importunately Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Bible Study Outline And Able Sinner


Time Is Fulfilled
The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand
Current Events
Repentance Aka Sorrow For Sin
Belief Aka Faith
And
Appeal For Surrender
Were Arrayed Around Able Sinner!
They Are Collectively Called
Bible Study Outline!

Able Sinner
- Not Even Close To Being A Saint -
Had Arrived At The Cross Road
The Intersection Between Heaven And Hell
Faith And Doubt
And
Hope And Don't Tell The Story!

Able Was Confused, Is Confused
Because 
He Had Long Thought That
There Was No God
Then There Was God 
But
He Was An Absentee Landlord
Then God Was Present And Active
And
A Cruel Tyrant Known Greatly Sadistic

And, Now ... Suddenly

He Is Hearing For The Very First Time That God
Our Creator God
Is
The Holy God
Faithful, Kind, Loving, True
Friend, Hope, Help, Salvation
Provider, Sustainer
The Only God Who Is Real
And
Willing To Reason With His Creatures
Is Jealous
And
Desires Their Love For His Very Own
Because
For Love Of Able And His Kind
He Sacrificed His Only Son
To Pay The Total Price For All Their Sins
So That We
And
Able Sinner ... Personally
Could Approach Unto Almighty God's Majesty Without Fear
To Find Grace In His Time Of Need
And
Enduring All Things By Faith
For Love
To Share The Risen Son's
- Man's Interceding High Priest -
Surpassing Great Glory!

Truth ... Accepted
Changes Everything
And
Sin, Darkness, And Error-Disspelling Light Dawns!

Hear Able Sinner
In Stunned Amazement, Speak:

He Loves Me!
The Holy God Of Glory Personally Loves Me
And Desires, Desires
Desires My Presence In His Everlasting House!
Imagine That!

Truth Is Finally Being Made Plain!

There Is No Anticipating Of Earned Rewards!

The Dead Know Nothing:
The Dead Are Not Angels, Spiritual Advisors, Or Guardians!
There Is No Going To Hell Instantly At Death For Unrepentant Sinners!
There Is No Going To Heaven Instantly 
For The Much Good Works Good People!
There's No Roasting In Hell For Billions Of Years In A Box
With Satan And His Demons 
Tormenting Me For The Sins Of A Short Life! 
There Is No One Being Saved In Sin
And There Is Surely No Salvation For All Mankind 
Just Because The Lord, Our Creator, Created Us!

Finally, Finally, Finally, I Am In Possession Of The Truth!
Uncoerced Decisions Must Be Made!

All I Have To Do Is Believe The Word
Trust The Lord
Confess Known Sin ... And Repent
Gain Victory Over Sin By Working My Gift
- My Daily Gift Of Faith -
Surrender My Stubborn Will
Surrender My Lustful Choice
Let The Lord Of Life Lead Me
Bless Me And Prosper Me
With Imperishable Gifts ...!

... I Have A Reason To Rejoice!

I Have Mercy, Grace
Peace, Rest
The Love Of The Almighty God!
Me ... A Child Of The Dust! 
I Have The Privileges Of A Blessed
Beloved, Bought, Redeemed Member Of
The Royal Household!

I Can And Must Always Pray: He Welcomes My Voice!
I Have Access To And The Present Help Of
The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God! 

I, By Faith
May Have The Creator God Of The Universe
Dwelling Within Me
All For Just Believing 
And Inviting Him To Come In And Dwell Forever
In My Broken And Contrite Heart ...!

... I Must Confess And Repent ... 
I Must Turn Away From Known Sin
Which Cannot Profit!

Praise God For New Eyesight!

I Look Around And I Truly See And Know The Truth!
It Is Hard To Believe The Truth
Which Is So Simple As To Be Unbelievable
But I Have To Do It!

The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand!
The Signs Of The Times Are Truly Every Where!
There's Only Bad News In The News!
Repentance For Known Sin Is Necessary!
The Lord Won't Save Me If I Indulge In Willful Sinning!

Satan Is A Liar
The Liar Without Compare!
He Would Put Me In The Electric Chair
And Call It My Comfy Chair!
He, Uncaring Of My Soul, Wickedly Dares!

My Life Is In The Lord Christ's Hands!
The Decision To Choose Life Is In Mine!
My Now Necessary Decision
Has Eternal Implications ... Eternal Consequences!
It Is Either Eternal Torment
As In The Separation That 
Jesus Christ Felt Outside The Love Of His Father
When He Was Nailed On The Cross
And Not The Gross, Destructive Lie 
Widely Taught And Generally Believed About Eternal Burning

Or

Eternal Joy In The Lord's Presence
And Access To The Water, And The Tree, Of Life! 

I Am Going To Fly!
Angels Exceeding In Strength Will Be My Companions!

I Now Have Real Hope!

I Will Be Saved From My Own Sin!
I Can, And Shall, Trust The Living Word!
I Will, And Do, Believe The Promise Of Eternal Life!

PRAYER:

Father, God

Give Me Jesus Christ! 
Please Light Up My Life! 
I Am Grateful, Lord
For This Anchor For My Soul! 
I Have Made My Decision:
Heaven With The Lord Christ
Is My Goal!


Father,
Gold Made Me Proud! 

Silver Made Me Loud! 
Bronze Made Me Arrogant!
And Iron Made Me Strong 
And, Yet,
I'm Here And Now Humbled
Because I See My True Condition:



I Am A Child Of The Dust
Ready, Able

Willingly Recognizing My Need

And Now Knowing That Things
Bright, Shiny, Heavy, Costly, Hard
And Inculcating Pride
Are Fleeting And Perishable 
Easy To Toss In The Bin Called Discard!

I See The Light!
Forgive Me Of My Sin!
I Humbly Repent!

Almighty God Is A Spirit
A Consuming Fire To The Unrepentant Sinner
And I Am An Acknowledged Sinner
Repentant, Sorry For My Sin
And I Know That I Must Worship The Lord
In Spirit And In Truth!

New Lamp For Old:
I Must Make The Trade!
My Light Must Shine!
Before The Throne Of Grace
I Must Be Bold!

Although It Is New
Life With The Lord Christ
Is Already Sublime
For His Word ... The Truth
Is Faithful ... Kind!
His Word Is Now Mine!

I Am Going To Hill Zion!
I Will Not Be Left Out
Cast Out, Cast Off!
I Shall Live And Not Die!
For Joy, I Feel To Cry!
Second Death And I
Shall Have No Ties!

Jesus, Save Me!
Is Now My Anthem!
Jesus, Save Me!
Is Now My Believing Heart's Longing Call Before I Die!

I Shall Reside In The Sweet By And By!
The Preserved Word Of The Living God Can't Lie!

The Grace Of The Holy God: Called, Cleansed, Commissioned + PRAYER: We Repent, Lord!

Conscientious Surrender
Habit And Practice
Open Heart, Opposition To Truth
Principle, Pride
Doubt And Faith!

All The Big Guns ... As We Like To Say
Were In Attendance
Some To Listen
Some To Hear To Obey
And
One ... With His Other
To Indulge In Outright Games Play!

Truth Is Speaking Truth For The Day!
Truth Is Appealing To All
Not To Indulge In Gainsay
But
As To Be Expected With Souls Unregenerate
The Dynamic Duo
Pride And His Main Squeeze Doubt
Had A Lot To Say
To Interrupt
To Make Others Antsy
To Cause Them In Objection To Shout!

Truth Never Raised His Voice!
Truth Never Lost His Temper!
Truth Spoke The Truth For The Age
While Pride And Doubt Behaved
Like Dogs With Distemper!

True Christian Stood Up:
Grace On The Left
And
Mercy On The Right
And
Spoke With Holy Boldness
The Heart Of His Crowned King To Delight:

Pride, Be Quiet!
Doubt, You Are Shut Down:
You Have Nothing On Which To Stand Your Ground!

I Work My Faith In Jesus!
To Him, I Daily Give My Heart!
To Him, I Have Surrendered All
Completely, Totally 
Conscientiously, Confidently
And
You Will Not Cause Me To Repeat
The Reason For Man's Fall!

I Can No More Indulge False Pride!
I Can No More Set Heavenly Principles Aside!
I Will No Longer Be In Opposition To Dear Truth
And
By The Grace Of The Holy God
I Shall, By The Holy Spirit's Leading
Be An Inheritor Of Eternal Youth!

Brethren,

I Make My Steps To Jesus Every Day
And
I Encourage You All To Do Likewise:

Let Your Habits Be The Good Ones
And
Let Your Practice The Public Edify!

Jesus Christ Is The Captain!
The Holy Spirit Is My Comforter!
I Am Walking To Zion
And
I Know That There Will Always Be Green Pastures
Wherein I May Daily Feed
Because
The Captain, My Captain
My Jesus
Is 
My One True And Only Leader!

The Devil Is Damned
And
These Henchmen Of His Likewise
And
All Who Follow Him
Are Following The Lord Of The Dung Flies
Who Cannot Go Home To Glory
Because
He Is Lord Unto Himself
But I
I Am A Known Child Of
The Great And Glorious King
And
Praise Be To Jesus
On The Narrow Way, I Am Protected
As I Walk On To Surpassing Glory!

There Is Good News In The Great Gospel Story
And
We All Have A Work, For Our Savior, To Do!


PRAYER:

Father, Most Loving
I Worship And I Bless You!
Please Pity Me And My Kind
Even Those Who Are Gainsaying
Your Holy Words
Faithful, Kind, Loving And True!

Open Our Eyes, Lord!
Help Us To See Christ
He Who For Our Salvation
Suffered, Bled And Died!

Jesus Is At Your Right Hand!
Help Us Through The Eyes Of Faith
To See Him As He Is
Vested, Priestly
Our Only Intermediary
Making Supplication For Us Who Believe
So That We May Join Him In His Glory!

Pity Those Of Us, Father
Who Pray And Pray Day By Day
Pleading For Our Lord's Coming
The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
The Salvation Of Souls
The Commitment To Christ
And
The Plain Way To Safely Reach Home!

May The Holy Angels Continue To Protect Us
And
To Influence Us
To Do The Good And The Right!
May The Holy Spirit Continue To Guide
And
To Chide Us
Calling Us, Helping Us
To Make That One Decision For Eternal Life!

I Bless You, Lord, For The Blessings!
I Worship You, Lord, For Giving Unto Us Truth!
I Praise You, Lord, For Loving Us Wholly
And
For Making Places For Us
In The Mansions Of Rest
The Mansions Of The Blessed!

Lead, Kindly Light
For The Dark World Is Encroaching!
Lead Us, Good Shepherd
For You, Alone, Know And Make The Way!
Take Us To The Haven
Where There Is Rest And Sweet Peace
For The Weary
And
Help Us, Please Help Us
Our Known Sins Always Diligently To Confess!

We Repent, Lord
So Forgive Us Our Trespasses Against You
The Holy God
In Jesus Christ's Dear Name I Pray!
I Love You, Lord!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN!
