VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Property!

If We Are Sealed By The Holy Spirit
Whom Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us
And 
We Wittingly Reject Jesus Christ 
Through Whom, Alone, We Get Home To The Father
And 
Who, Alone, Gives Us The Holy Spirit
We Are Not Sealed Against The Wrath Of The Lamb
We Cannot Get Home To Glory
And
We Are Damned For All Eternity
Because
We Choose To Stand In Our Sin ... Alone!

Consider Sodom And Gomorrah!
Consider The Antedelluvians
And
The Canaanite Tribes
Wiped Clean From The Earth
And
Ask Your Self These Wise Questions:

Do I Want To Live Eternally!?! 

Why Should I Die
When I Have The Security Blanket
The God Of All Grace
Who Holds Up The Sky
And Yet
Gently Calls Me Home
In His Love Eternally To Abide!?!

There Are No Place Space Holders
In The Economy Of The Eternal God 
And
Any Of Us Who Will Be Made Profitable
By ... And To ... Him
Shall Reap The Cumberer Of The Earth's Reward! 

Hold Up! 
What's A Cumberer Of The Earth
And What Is Their Reward!?! 

I'm So Glad That You Asked That Question! 
When You Plant A Fruit Tree
Do You Plant It As An Ornamental
Or To Receive Fruit!?! 

I Want Fruit, Lots Of Fruit To Eat, To Enjoy! 

Okay! 
Now, If, Let's Say, Your Fruit Tree Was Killed By Blight! 
What Would You Do!?! 

It Ain't Got No More Purpose So I'd Cut It Down 
And I'd Burn The Remnants So That Blight Cannot
Infest My Other Trees! 

Now, Let's Say That Your Good-Fruit Tree
Over Time
Slowly Started Producing Less And Less Fruit
And 
What It Did Produce Was Blighted, Inedible
Until It Stopped Producing Altogether! 
What Would You Do!?! 

Well, Considering That I Once Had A Tree Like That
And I Dug At It Roots
Manured It
Fed It Medicine
Talked To It
Had Professionals Attend To It
And Even Prayed For It
And Finally Having No Hope Of It Ever Again Being 
Profitable, Beneficial, Worthwhile
Good For Anything Save Firewood
Hard Though It Was
I Made The Executive Decision
Said: " Don't Want To Be You!"
And ... With Great Malice
I Chopped That Puppy Down
And I Burned The Stump! 
It Ain't Never Coming Back! 

I Hear You! 

Why Did You Go To Such Lengths!?! 

The Lord Know I Wanted To Save My Tree! 
Oh, How I Loved That Tree! 
I Expensed Myself
And I Did Everything Possible To Preserve Its Life 
But It Was In Vain
And Since It Was Serving No Purpose
Or More Specifically 
Since It Was Not Serving Its Appointed, Expected Purpose
It Had To Go
So I, Within My Rights, Destroyed It! 
It Was Just Taking Up Space
And Who Knows
It Could Have Infected The Other Trees
It Could Have Blighted The Land! 

So, My Wise Friend
Would Not Say Then That 
Your Unproductive Tree Was An Encumbrance 
Or More Specifically
A Cumberer Of The Ground!?! 

Well, Hot Diggety Dog! 
I Sure Would! 

The Bottom Line ... 

We Are Here To Know God
To Be Made Right With God
To Serve God
And
To Be Made Right
To Get Back Home To Our Father
And
If We Through Loving The Lie
Become Blighted To The Truth
Our Owner ... By Creation
Our Owner ... By Redemption
Through His Shed Blood
Exercises The Only Remedy Available
To Truly Get Rid Of The Problem
Or Face Losing The Whole Planting! 

Simply Put
We Have The Free Will To Make The Free Choice:
Do ... Or Be Doomed! 

The Options ... 

Serve Your Purpose
Or
Be Severed On Purpose! 

Never Forget, Brethren
You Are Not The Owner Of The Property
Your Body You Inhabit
Nor The Land Upon Which You Live! 

You Are Almighty God's Property
And
He Expects A Return On His Investment ... Plus Usury
Aka Profit! 

You Have His Breath Of Life
And
The Gift Of The Holy Spirit
To Teach And To Lead You Into All Truth
Thus Making You Profitable
To Your Creator, Lord, God And King! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Choose To Live Up To Your God-Given Potential
And
Be Blessed To Occupy Your Prepared-For-You Place
In The Eternal City Where Love Dwells! 

Be Not Deceived To Walk In Your Own Way
Which Will Lead You To Destruction
The Sure Damnation! 
Believe The Word! 
Receive The Heaven-Sent Promises
And
Be Assured That You Will Be Forever Blessed! 

Beloved, 

Our Heavenly Father Bears With Us Long! 
By Prayer And Supplication
By The Intercession Of Our Lord
He Is Encouraged To Bear With Us
A Little Longer
But
Be Ye Warned And Armed
He Will Not Bear With Us Always! 

Best By
Use By
Expiration Date ...

We Are At Our Best
When We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
And
Choose To Willingly Obey The Lord! 

We Are To See To It That We Settle Accounts With 
And 
Perform Service For The Lord
Before The Day Of Our Death! 
There Is No Second Probation For Mankind!

If We Have Not Chosen Jesus Christ
As Our Eternal Portion
Through Confession, Repentance
Obedience And Faithfulness
Our Expiration Date 
Is 
The Day Of Our Demise ... Our Death
And
Our Account With Our Maker
Is
Effectively Closed! 

There Is No Turning Back
To Correct!
There Is No Going Forward
To Enjoy!

All That Is Left To Such
Is 
The Day Of Destruction 
At The Second Resurrection! 

Think About It!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD:


What We Do For Almighty God
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Is
Remembered And Recorded 
So Your Work Is Not Vain! 
Think On The Promises Purchased
And 
The Sacrifices That Our Lord Has Made
And
Consider What These Gifts To Us Have Cost Him
And
Recognize How And Why The Total Bill Was Paid 
With Shame ... You Are The Reason
And 
Gratitude ... He Loves You And You Are Forgiven
And 
Love And Devotion
Because
You Can't Help But Desire Him!








The Promise 
Is 
Given To All Who Choose To Believe That 
A Place In The Father's House 
Is 
Being Prepared For Us There 
And 
There We Will Be Received 
To Live With The King, The Lord God, Holy Divine
So Dare To Accept The Gift Of An Everlasting, Blessed, Future 
Where Life, New, Is Sublime! 

Dare To Trust The Word Of The One Who Is The Truth
Who Is The Life
And 
Who Directs Us On The Road Home 
Because 
He Is The Way: We Do Not Walk Alone!

Remember ...

The Father Wants Us In His House
His Joy And Glory To Share! 
Exercise Your Gift Of Faith 
And 
For The Grand Journey Prepare! 

The Walk To Freedom Is Not Easy!
The Way To Damnation Is Not Hard! 
The Walk To Freedom ... From Sin
From Self, Death, Hell And The Grave
By Our Lord Christ's Great, Encompassing, Grace
Gives Unto Us ... Who Are Willing To Submit To His Will
The Expected End ... The Prophesied Future
The Promised Eternity With Him
But
The Way To Damnation ... Unwisely Dying In Known-Sin
Ensures That Living In Sin
Will Be The Unrepentant Sinner's Final Hymn! 


Have Faith In God! 
He Is The Great Creator! 
Have Faith In God! 
He Is The One True Friend! 
Have Faith In God! 
He Will Reward Your Labor! 
Have Faith, Dear Friend 
In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Have Faith In God! 
He Knows The End From The Beginning! 
Have Faith In God! 
In Him Is Abundant Living! 
Have Faith In God! 
His Truth Demands Of Us Sacrificial Giving! 
Have Faith, Dear Friend
In Jesus Christ The Lord!

Almighty God's Grace
Is
Free
To Me And To Thee!

HAPPY SABBATH + Unrepentant Sinners!?!


Image result for happy sabbath


Brethren,

Pay Very Close Attention!

A Sinner Is How You're Born!
A Disobedient Sinner Is Your Preferred 
Dare I Say Chosen, Lifestyle! 
Problem Is, Though
A Disobedient Sinner
Willful By Choice
Is
Nothing More Than A Traveller's Five-Pack Of 
Cheap, Easily Replaceable, Disposable Razor Blades!

You're Useful As Long As You're Usable!
Lose Your Edge
Your Willingness To Disrespect
Doubt, Disobey, Denigrate, Disbelieve 
Disparage, Deny, Defy, Dishonor Your Creator
Savior, Redeemer, Judge, King
Lord, God, Healer, Sealer, Teacher
Provider, Sustainer, Protector
And
You Lose Your Pick ... With Prejudice
And
Unfortunately For You
Your Christ-Bought And Paid For 
Very Expensive To The Father, Life
Becomes A Cherished Prize For The Devil
He Who Started The Carnal Strife! 

A Willful, Disobedient, Sinner Is A Fool! 
His Actions Say That He ... Indeed 
Believes That There Is No God
Or Better Put
No God Almighty Who Has Control Over His Life
Or His Ability To Remain Alive 
By His Own Power And Choosing! 

An Unrepentant Sinner Is An Even Bigger Fool
Because
He Believes The Lies Of The Devil! 
He Purchased The Bulk Pack At The Five And Dime
At The .99 $cents Store
And
He Is Doing His Utmost
To Open And Explore The Enveloped Door! 
To Him ... Sinning Is Not A Chore! 
To Him ... Every Hit Is A Major Score! 

We, Faithful, Obedient, Believers Have The Savior! 
His Name Is Christ Jesus! 
Those Ignoring Him Do Not Make His Less! 

We Have The Adversary! 
His Name Is The Devil, The Dragon, The Serpent, Satan! 
Those Acknowledging Him Do Not Make Him More! 

We Have The Certain Hope! 
It Is Called Free Salvation! 
It Is The Gift Of One Short Lifetime! 
Ignoring, Rejecting, And Refusing It Makes You Less
But
Acknowledging, Accepting, Appreciating ... Utilizing 
And 
Realizing Its Potential
Makes You More And Better Every Day:
Salvation Is The Work Of One's Short Lifetime! 

Humble Yourselves!
Pray Always!
Turn Away From Your Sin
And
The Lord Will Hear From Heaven
And
Being Faithful And Just
He Will Forgive You Of Your Known Sin
And
Will Heal The Land That Is Your Troubled Life! 

But How Can I Be Land When I'm A Human!?! 

Good Question! 
Please Refresh Our Memories While You Answer This Question:

What Did Jesus Christ Use 
To Create Adam On The Sixth Day Of Creation Week!?! 

Oh, That's Easy! 
Jesus Used The Dust Of The Earth! 

And What Do We Popularly Call The Dust Of The Earth!?! 

Dirt! 

And Where, Pray Tell, Is Dirt Found!?! 

On The Ground, On The Land ...! 

... Please Don't Stop Now! 
What, Then, Is Your Life!?! 

My Land! It's My Land
And I Have To Work It Properly
If I Desire To Have A Bountiful Harvest Of Good Fruit
If I Desire To Go To The Father's House With Jesus! 

So, Do You Desire To Go Home To Be With Our Jesus!?! 

You Know That I Want To! 
I'm Just Weak, Is All! 

That's Good! 

Whaaat?!?! 

If You're Weak 
And Humbly Acknowledge It Before The Lord
And Sincerely Ask For Help
Jesus Christ Will Give You Of His Strength
Because 
You Choose To Be One Of His
And
He Takes Good, Loving, Faithful Care
Of All Who Are His Own Children ... By Sacrifice!

What Do You Mean By Sacrifice!?! 

I Mean That You Give Up Your Willfulness! 
Give Up Your Waywardness! 
Give Up Lying, Cheating, Stealing
Fornicating, Adultery, Drugs, Alcohol
All Of Whatever Wrong Habit
Behaviors, Tendencies, Indulgences
That You Cultivate, Practice, Publish And Purvey 
And
Take On Christ's Life Of Obedience To The Will Of The Father! 
Give Up Walking As One Own-Way!

Jesus Christ Says:
If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments! 
He Also Says Do Good And Be Blessed! 
He Also Says Trust Him ... And Obey! 
You Must Walk In The Light That Is Life
And
To Do That
It Means You Must Come Out Of The Shadows
Out Of The Darkness! 

All Of The Lord's People Are Children Of The Light!

Indeed!
They Choose Not To Walk In The Darkness
And
All Of The Things They Do
Are Open And On Display 
Before Almighty God, His Holy Angels And Men! 

We Do Not Fear Reproof Because Our Deeds Are Not Evil! 

Beloved, 

Here's A Thought For Us, All, To Chew Upon:






There Is No Sin In Being Tempted: 
The Sin Comes From Yielding ... Giving In ... To Temptation! 

Our Own Jesus Christ Was Tempted With The Same Temptations 
That All Mankind Must Face And Overcome: 
The Lust Of The Flesh 
The Lust Of The Eye 
And 
Lord Help Us All
That Bug-Bear The Pride Of Life! 

Jesus Christ Overcame Them All With 
"It Is Written...!" 

Knowing And Obediently Using 
The Word Of God ... Our Sharp Sword
Will Lead To Our Acquiring The Crown Of Life 
Which Jesus Purchased For Us At Infinite Expense! 

The Lord Provides Our Way Of Escape
From Our Every Temptation So Remember Three Words:

  • Jesus Christ Saves! 
  • I'm Not Alone! 
  • Resist The Devil! 
  • Endure All Things! 
  • Acquire The Crown! 

Jesus Christ
Is
The Word Of God: Learn Of And Trust The Word
And 
Thrust Your Sword Into Satan Joyfully! 
Untold Blessings Await Us!
Here's To Wonderful Peace!

CHRISTIANITY: The Life Of Worldly Privilege!?!

Privileged!
Blessed!
Faithful!
Obedient!
Grateful ... And More!

They Were Not Huddled Together!
They Were ... Are ... All Over The Place
And
Most Of Them Were Real Easy To Identify:
They Wore Their Christian Regalia! 

Big Hats! 
Sharp Suits! 
Some Were Too Comfortable! 
Many Were Proudly Pious! 
Many Were Snifflingly Sanctimonious! 
Many Were Giving And Griping! 
Many Were Studiously Parsimonious! 
All Named The Name Of Christ Jesus! 
Many Were Fat And Cried Poverty! 
Fruit Was Everywhere:
Preserved Fruit! 
Fruit Crumble! 
Fresh Fruit! 
Spoiled Fruit! 

... And You Could Read The Signs
Observe The Tells Aka The Hints That 
They Wanted Observed And Recognized
And
Back-Slappingly Commented Upon! 
It Was Just Sad
But
They Were All So Happy
To Be Amongst Friends:

Christian And Proud Of It!
Christian And Humbled By It!
Christian And Profited By It!
Christian And Blessed By It!

    Mercy Said No!
    I Love The Lord!
    I Walk With God!
    Too Blessed To Be Stressed! 

        Cooperating With Christ!
        I Should Have Died!
        Waiting, Watching, Working Christian!
        Wise Unto Salvation!

The Call To Order Was Given ... Firmly
And
A Hush Fell Upon The Room! 
His Nibs, Florid MC, Master Of Ceremonies 
Had Taken Center Stage! 

The Time Had Come! 
Everybody Was Eager To Hear The Missions Report
But
Surprisingly
Nobody Knew Who Was Giving The Report This Session! 

Anticipation Was High! 

Usually Given To Flowery Phrases And Hyperbole
Florid MC ... His Voice Noticeably Shaking
Without Preamble, Baldly Said:

Brethren, 
Time Is Short! 
The Master Is Here! 
Prince Shiloh, Welcome! 

The Gasp In The Room Was Audible! 
Real Audible! 

Now That Was Straight Out Of Left Field! 
Unexpected! 

Being Au Fait With The Book
They Know That The Prince Still Speaks To His People
But 
They Weren't Expecting To Hear Him Up Close And Personal! 
Hearts Swelled With Pride 
At Their Assembly Being Graced By The King! 
What A Blessing! 

Prince Shiloh Spoke Of Love
Grace And Mercy Given And Not Exemplified!

Prince Shiloh Spoke Of Truth Given
And Truth Denied!

Prince Shiloh Spoke Of Peace Given
And Peace Made A Verifiable Lie!

And Prince Shiloh Cried.

Then, Suddenly
Prince Shiloh ... Our Prince Who Is Peace
Raised His Voice!

Brethren, Beloved Brethren
Why Do You Use My Name
Say That You Love Me
Enjoy The Benefits Of The Commitment
Of The Love Relationship
And Do Not Do What Is Good And Right!?!

All Rise!
All Who Know Themselves To Be Privileged, Please Sit!

Everybody Sat Down! 

All Who Know Themselves To Be Truly Blessed, Please Rise!

Everybody Got Up!

All Who Know That 
They Are Grateful To Almighty God For The Myriad Blessings 
Daily Bestowed Upon You Personally
Please Sit!

Of The 2,500 People Known Present And Accounted For
2,227 People Sat Down!
The Number Showed On The Screen!
The Gathering Groaned!

All Who Know By The Word Of Truth That Convicts Of Sin
And Convinces Of Righteousness
That They Are Faithful And Obedient 
To Their Calling And Commitment To The Lord
Please Remain Seated!

Of The 2,500 People Present And Accounted For
A Remnant, 393 Saints, Remained Seated!

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop!
Shock Was Evident!
Fear Was Apparent!
Hope Appeared Absent
But 
Love Was Not Lost!

Prince Shiloh Started To Speak Again!

Those Who Are Sitting, Please Come To Me! 
All Who Are Standing, Please Sit!

When All Were Appropriately Resettled
Prince Shiloh Said:

A Saved Christian Is A Faithful
Ever-Obedient
Grateful For Grace
Waiting For The Consummation Of Their Hope 
Wise Unto Salvation 
Watching Worker
Who Does Not Take Anything For Granted
Not Even Their Life!

Were This Event On The Great Day Of Small Things
All Of You Who Are Here Seated
Would Be Amongst Those Forever Lost To The Living Kingdom!

These Few Who Are Here With Me
Would Be The Ones Headed For Glory
Incorruptible 
Immortalized
Glorified!

Beloved, 
Let This Be A Lesson To You In The Chair! 
Godliness Is Gladness! 
Against You, I Forbear!
You Now Have Opportunity 
Your Life To Turn Around
So Be Not Complacent:
Your Life In The Here And The Now 
Is Assuredly That Of The Time-Bound!

Make Good Use Of The Reprieve You Have Been Given!
All The Heavenly Intelligences Are Available To You
And Desire To See Your Salvation!
Remember: Earth Is An Hospital For The Sin-Sick
And A Learning The Way To Everlasting Life Station!

After Prince Shiloh Had Departed
Florid MC Spoke With A New Gravitas 
In His Already Powerful Voice:

Brethren, 

I Stand Before You A Soul Chastised!
We Have Been Warned! 
Forewarned Is Fore-Armed
So Not One Of Us Here Has Any Reason Whatsoever
To, Hereafter, Be Lost To The Living Kingdom! 

If Prince Shiloh Didn't Love Us Sacrificially
He Would Not Have Come To Warn Us Of Our Peril! 

We Can No Longer Indulge In Business As Usual! 

If We Are Following Christ
We Will Conduct Ourselves As He Did
Always Pleasing The Father ... Our Father In Heaven! 

The Text That Prince Shiloh Has Left For Our Admonition 
Is Luke 14:27! 
Let's Take It To Heart:



Following The Lord Christ 
Is Not For The Faint-Hearted 
Because It Is Not The Life Of Worldly Privilege
Worldly Abundance And Carousing 
And Excesses Sufficient To Make Our Savior Sad! 

Self-Denial, Sacrifice
Disappointments, Delay
Hatred, Malice And Mistreatment 
Are All Conditions To Be Faithfully Endured 
And Overcome 
But We Are To Live Fully Cognizant Of 
The Value Of The Treasure
That Is The Blessed Hope! 

Following After The Lord Christ 
Our Very Own Prince Shiloh
Is Safety, Security, Satisfaction, Sanity
And Salvation 
For The Repentant Sinner Sanctified ... Set Apart
For His Holy Use! 

There Is No Risk Because ... Again
We Have The Blessed Hope 
Which Benefits Are Known 
Before We Even Decide To Walk With The Lord Christ 
Who Is Creator, Provider, Savior
Redeemer, Forever Friend
Hope For Heaven
And Surety For Everlasting Happiness! 

We Have Been Reminded That Gratitude Is A Grace!

Earthly Joys Are Temporary! 
Heavenly Joys Are Glorious, Eternal
And The Return On Our Investment In Christ 
Is Infinite 
So Let's Boldly And Safely Choose 
To Take The "Risk" That Is Ordained
All Heavenly Reward! 

The Prince Of Peace ... Prince Shiloh 
Is Ever With Us!
Let's Do Better For Him
So That We Will Be Better In Him:
He Is Our Perfect Peace!

Pssst!?! What Kinda Seeds You Sowing!?!

Brethren,

Let's Get One Thing Perfectly Straight:
I'm Not Going To Argue With Any Of You About This Matter!
I'm Going To Let The Word Of Almighty God
Our Creator
The One By Whom We Are Saved
Make His Will Known Unto Each One Of Us!
We Are Not Fools
Because
We All Accept That We Have The Holy God
For Our Hope, Help And Salvation!
I Implore You Not To Harden Your Hearts!

We Cannot Continue Doing The Same Things Repeatedly
And
Actually Dare To Expect A Different Outcome!
That Waste Of Time Is Called Madness
And
There's A Prepared Place For Mad People!
There's Also A Place For Repentant Sinners: Heaven
And
There's Is A Place For Unrepentant Sinners: Hell
And
The Decision To Go Where Is By Personal Choice!

To Make Everything Crystal Clear
To Make Sure That We Are All On The Same Page
What I'm Saying To Us All ... For The Record
Is
Some Things And Certain Desires
Some People And Certain Attitudes Must Change
Or We Will Doom Ourselves:
There Will Be No Cain, No King Saul, No Goliath
No Naboth, No Absalom, No Judas Iscariot
No Pontius Pilate, No King Herod
And
No Pharisee-Sorts And Idol Worshipers In Heaven
So Let's Get A Firm Grip On Ourselves!

The Assistance In Making The Informed Decision
Is 
Found In The Everlasting Word
So Let's Read Galatians 6 Verse 7
And
Then I Will Say A Few Words
And
I Pray That That Will Be The End Of The Matter
Save For Progress Reports In The Near Future
On Our Very Necessary, Positive, Changes!







Beloved,

The Old Expressions 
"Bringing Your Pigs To A Fine Market!" 
And
"You Can't Plant Indian Corn And Reap Guinea Corn!" 
Are Very Appropriate Here! 

Let's All Take This One Very Personally:


However You Live Is How You Die!
Whatever You Give Is What You Get! 
Whatever You Sell Is What You'll Buy
And 
Whatever You Sow
You Are Most Assuredly Going To Reap 
Because 
The Word Of Almighty God Will Be Satisfied! 

Sooo, With That Said, Understand This: 


If You Don't Like
The Crop That You Are Reaping
Change The Seeds
That
You Are Sowing! 

We Live In Time
And
Time In This Vale Of Tears 
Is 
Made For Change 
And 
Glory Be To The Father
The Lord Christ ... By The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
Is 
Available, Ready, And Able 
To Help Us Dig Out The Roots Of 
Our Blighted Crop Of Sin, Selfishness
Hatred, Greed, Pride, And Jealousy
And 
Help Us To Plant The Seeds Of His Goodness, Truth
Kindness, Love, Mercy, Joy 
And 
Peace! 


Dear Lord,
Please Grant Unto Us
Your Perfect Peace
And
Please Help Us To Be Wise
Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation!

Let Us All Pray For Rain
And 
Let Us All ... By The Lord's Great Grace
Plant The Seeds Of Our New
Eternally-Profitable Crop Of Righteousness ... Today!



Good-Influence Holy Angels
Who Excel In Strength
Are Present To Help You
Who Will Be The Inheritors Of
Jesus Christ's Sure Salvation!

We Cannot Save Ourselves
Nor Can We Save Another
So Let Us Remember, Beloved
That It Is Jesus Christ, Alone, Who Saves Us!
Be Humble, Be Teachable, Be True
Be Enduringly Faithful
And
It Is Guaranteed That 
You Will Be Forever Blessed!
