VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Is No Discount For Victory Over Sin And Self!


U R Lovable — Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV Finally, my brethren, be...



All Of Us Who Choose To Follow Jesus Christ 
Via The Way Of The Cross
Along The Path Of Enduring Obedience
Living By The Daily Gift Of Daily Faith
Believing 
And 
Trusting The Living Word Every Step Of The To-Zion Journey 
While Wearing The Whole Armor Of God 
Must Understand ... Accept 
And 
Live By This Truth: 
What The Lord God Almighty Gives To You
No One Can Take Away 
And
There Ain't No Discount Given 
For Victory Over Self And Sin! 

Let's Take A Trip Back
So That We Can Go Forward ...

I Went To Purchase Supplies
To Fortify Myself Against Lies!
Everything In The Store Seemed Discounted
And
Trophies In Abundance Were Securely Mounted!

I Did A Quick List-Check To Ascertain My Obvious Costs
And
Realized That I Would Suffer No Loss
Because
The Discount Was Sold As Universal
And
I, Pocket Always To Let, Would Need No Purchase Reversal!
Yeahhh For Discounts!

Believe You Me, I Was Like A Pig In Slop!
I Was As Happy As A Clam!
I Was Primed For The Run!
I Was Pumped Until At The Counter
My Register Went BUMP!!!

In Shock, I Heard The Stentorian Words:


On Victory
There Is Never A Discount!!!

I Pleaded!
I Beseeched!
I Swore Not To Cheat
But
Life Was Adamant:


Victory Is Full Fee!
Victory Is Not Free!
Victory Costs!
Your Win Leaves A Track
So Bring Out The Full Cost
Or
Show Me Your Back!



Life Does Not Owe You Anything!
You Owe Your Life To The Lord!

Here's Wise Wisdom ...

Victory Over Sin 
Is
Going To Cost You Full Price 
So Prepare Yourself To Sweat, Cry 
And 
Bleed 

And 

Be Glad
Because
The Daily Gift Of Daily Peace Cannot Be Taken From You: 
Don't Give It Away!


Cooperate With Christ! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Surrender Jesus' Priceless Peace 
- Which Passes Human Understanding -
For A Cheap Peace That Can't Permanently Profit! 

Child Of God,

Remember That Your Victory Over Sin 
And 
Self 
Is 
Already Won: 
Take Your Lashes Like A Saint Of God And Christ
- Justified And Sanctified -
And 
Hold Firm Your Victory ... In Jesus! 


Sanctification Is A Life-Long Process!

Resist The Devil 
And 
He Will Get Tired 
And 
He Will Flee From You! 
Pray The Promises Of God 
And 
Press On To The Peaceful Shore!

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Creator ... Savior ... Redeemer ... Forever-Friend:
Trust Him
And
In The Fullness Of Time
Live The Life That Shall Know No End! 



Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall  be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
