VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Changing Position

How Can You Not Want To Intimately Know Christ Jesus!?!
He's The Forever Friend!
How Can You Not Want To Personally Know Christ Jesus 

When He's Offering Life To All

And 

That Without End!?!

He Wants Too Much!

Too Much Of What, Pray Tell!?!

He's Not Like Anybody Else!

He Doesn't Play The Game!
He Doesn't Want A Little Bit Of Me
And Be Contented
He Wants Me Body Soul And Spirit
My Will
My Way
My Thoughts
My Actions
My Heart!
He Wants Me To Depart Old Habits Tried And True
And He Wants Me To Stop Sinning!
He Wants Me To Be Consumed With And In Him!

That's True!

How Can I Possibly Do That Is What I Ask You!?!

How Can I Stop Sinning
When A Sinner I Was Born!?! 

I Was Shaped In Iniquity
Planned Sin, You Know!
Mother Before Me Was Likewise Born!
Right Now, My Heart Is Torn!
I Feel Like A Sheep That Has Been Naked Shorn!

Don't You Believe Him!?!

Believe Him About What!?!

Victory Over Sin, You Know ... For Starters!
Setting Aside Self And Sinning
And
Decidedly Turning Satan Away!

That's Impossible!
Who Can Turn Satan Away!

Mavis!?!

Yes, Myrtle!?!

Mavis Adalua Greene
You Mean To Really Tell Me
That Your Satan Is Bigger Than
The Creator Of All Things!?!

Uh, Ah, ...!

Girl, You Must Be Drunk! 

Satan Is A Fallen Angel
A Reprobate That Can't Go Back Home
And
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 

Lord And King

Savior Redeemer Friend

Advocate
Sitting High And Lifted Up
Upon Heaven's Great White Throne!

You Really Can't Believe That Satan Is A Boss
When His Lying Warring Ways
Got Him Out Of Heaven Tossed!

Jesus Christ Bought 

And 

Brought Us The Victory
The Victory Over Sin
And 

I Refuse To Believe That 

You Would Let A Lost Cause Like Satan
Cost You Heaven
Because 

You Think He Could Win Something

Over The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
Who Triumphed Over Death Hell
Sin
And
The Self-Same Satan
And 

The Cold Dark Grave
On Calvary's Old Rugged Cross!

Well, When You Put It Like That
It Becomes Apparent That 

I Must Seriously, Honestly

Rethink My Present Standing Position!

Girl, You Better Hurry And Change Direction
Before You And The Second Coming
End Up In A Colossally Bad Collision!

I Am Certain That You Know That

Now Is The Acceptable Time!
That Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Jesus Christ 

Is

Even Now

Still Extending Sweet Mercy To Fallen Mankind
So Accept It Now
For Soon There Will Be Total Division!

Total Division!?!
What On Earth Do You Mean!?!

Sheep And Goats!
Good And Evil!
Blessed And Saved!
Damned And Lost!
Souls Protected And Ministered Unto By Holy Angels
And
Souls Activated And Used By 

Fallen Angels Aka Demons!

I Don't Like The Sound Of That 

Evil Damned Goat Lost Demon-Possessed Business!
Did You Really Have To Tell Me About That!?!

Am I Your Friend, Yes Or No!?!

You've Been My Number One Since Forever!

Since That Is The Case, Then I Had To Tell You The Truth!

Why Does Truth Always Have To Be So, So, So Out There!?!
So Stark!
So Plain!
So Straight!
So Uncompromising!
So In Your Face!

So, So ...!

So Necessary!
So Unavoidable!
So Honest!
So True!
So Needful!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
All Of That!
When I Ignore The Truth
I Can Pretend All Is Right With Me And ...!

... You Can Walk About Proud
Supposedly Thriving
Under A Base Mantle Of Gross Falsity!

Let Me Show You Something ...

Under A Dry Blanket Is Warm
And
Under A Damp Blanket Is Warm
If
Everything Around You Is Wet!

If Every Person Around You Is A Bold Sinner
And
You, A Proud Christian
Looking Down Upon Them Wicked Sinners
Timidly Commit The Occasional Favorite Sin
What Does That Make You!?!

Ugh! 

It Makes Me A Self-Righteous "Christian" Sinner ... Damned!

Is It Worth It!?!

Have You Ever Really Studied Psalm 91!?!

Huh!?!

Psalm 91 ... He That Dwelleth In The Secret Place Of The Most High
Shall Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty ...!

I Read It All The Time!
I Really Like It!

But, Do You Understand What It Means!?!

They're Pretty Words That 

Make Me Feel Comforted And, And ...!

... And Even Now

You Don't Understand That
They're A Promise Given
To The People Of God
To Provide For And Protect Them
During The Time Of Trouble
And To Receive Them Into His Great Glory

At The Appointed Time!

I Just Read ... And Feel!

Aka You Don't Think On

You Don't Dwell Upon The Meanings Of The Words
Because
Your Taking Them On Board

Will Require You To Change Your Ways

Your Life

Your Living!

That's True!!

How Do You Know That!?!

I Know That Because I Was Once Like You!
If I Didn't Look Too Deep
I Could Rest Easy!
I Could Peacefully Sleep!

I Could Blithely Carry On

With Then Present Living

Because

I Was To The Lord God Almighty

Lip Service Giving!

Oh, Dear!!

That Expression Sounds Like You Already Had
That Encounter!

Had It!
Hated It!
I Try Valiantly To Avoid It!

So You Bravely Aka Cowardly Prefer
To Live A Lie
Than To Wisely Necessarily Face
Almighty God's Cleansing Truth
Which, Accepted
Will See You
- In The Fullness Of Time -
In Jesus Christ's Lovely Presence
Enjoying Eternal Youth
Ranging The Universe
Praising God
Seeing God Face To Face
Interacting With Those On Unfallen Worlds
Eating From The Tree Of Life
Walking Streets of Gold ...!

Stop! Stop!
Just Stop!

Isn't It Time
That You Take Your Burden To The Lord
And ...!

... Yes! I Know!
Leave It There!

Sooo, What Were you Waiting For!?!

A Moment Like This ...!

... The Lord Be Praised!

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For New Beginnings!

Indeed!

Just Don't Forget That

New Beginnings Are Only Possible

If

You're Alive!

Please Don't Ever Take Tomorrow For Granted!

I Know ... Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
