Need Is Like A Mosquito!




The Day That We Realize That Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Only One Who Can Or Will Have Mercy On Us 
Is 
The Day That We Truly See Our Need Of Our Savior! 

Think Of It As The Difference Between Knowing About Jesus 
And 
Personally Knowing Jesus
And 
The Difference Between A Passing Acquaintance 
And 
Having An Intimate Relationship With The Forever Friend 
Who Is The Creator-God Who Knows Everything About You 
Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually
Down To The Atomic Level! 

Beloved, 

We May Pretend That We Do Not Need Anyone 
And That
We Are Able To Do And Be Everything To Our Own Self 
Until Reality ... Bites! 

Reality Doesn't Care If You Are Rich, Poor, Young, Old
Educated, Illiterate, Free, Enslaved, Sick, Well
Prince, Politician, Or Preacher! 

Reality's Weight, Teeth, Talons, Tentacles, And Heels 
Are Always Set To "Hurt!"
But 
The Head, Heart, Hands, And Heels Of Jesus Christ 
Are Always Set To Help And Heal Humans! 

Satan Uses Reality To Harass Us 
And 
Wreak Havok In Our Lives
But 
Our Savior Uses Reality To Bring Us Home To Eternal Life 
And
He Does It With Love, Compassion, Mercy, And Grace 
Which Include Helping Us To Recognize Our Great Need Of 
His Direction, Protection, Correction
Provision, Peace, And Power! 

Remember This ... 

Need Is Like A Mosquito:
You Never Know What It Can Do Until It Hits You! 

Dear Ones, 

We Will Never Know 
What Jesus Christ Can And Will Do For Us Personally 
Until We Recognize, Accept
And 
Act Upon Our Desperate Need Of Him! 

Please Pray About Your Need Now! 

Peace!

The Word Works: The Truth Satisfies!




We Daily Need The Nourishment Of Food 
To Physically Stay Alive And Well! 

We Daily Need The Nourishment That
Is
The Living, Holy, Word, The Truth
If The Soul Is To Prosper 
And 
Have Spiritual Health And Well-Being! 

Beloved, 

While Picky Eating May Work In The Realm Of The Flesh 
And 
A Person May Survive On Biscuits While Ignoring 
The Extensive Array Of Good And Healthful Eats 
At The Daily Benefit The Body Buffet
We Cannot ... As Committed Christians 
Pick And Choose The Parts Of The Word Of God That We Like
Discard What We Disapprove
And 
Dismiss That With Which We Disagree! 

The Word Of God 
Is 
The Famine-Proof Assurance Of A Future Life Of Bliss Food 
For Whosoever Freely, Willingly, Eats With Love And Gratitude 
From The Lord's Glorious Gift Of Said Food Known Good For Us 
At Every Age, Stage, And Station Of Life! 

We May Not Always Immediately Love Or Enjoy Certain Calls
Claims, Corrections 
Commissions Or Charges We See In Or Hear Of In The Word 
But
If We Truly Love The Lord Jesus Christ, Our Savior Dear
Whom We Know Loves Us Each Sacrificially
We Will Accept The Living Word 
Knowing That It Comes From The Lord Of Life 
Who Will Never Hurt Or Deceive Us! 

The Living, Holy, Word Works 
So Let It, By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth
Have Its Blessed Way Aka Do Its Appointed Work In Your Life! 

I Beseech Us All 
To Allow Ourselves To Acquire The Taste, The Desire,l
For The Eternal Things Of Almighty God Today! 

Never Ever Forget That Only The Truth Satisfies The Soul! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Every Christian Has A Way To Walk!



Witness, Walk, Worship, Work: 
One Took A Day Off! 
One Decided To Twerk! 
All Called The Master's Name 
And
All Held The Living Word 
But
Between Reading And Interpretation
One Eschewed The Good Word He Had Heard! 

Every Christian Has A Way To Walk! 
Every Christian Has A Work To Do! 
Every Christian Is Called To Witness 
And
Every Christian Must On The Mission Given 
Sincerely Follow Through! 

The Way Is Plain! 
The Work Is Hard! 
The Worship Is Wonderful 
And 
The Witnessing Is Not About Leaving A Calling Card! 

Our Life Is A Witness Whether We Believe It Or Not! 
Our Work Is A Witness
A Way To Help To Keep Us From Receiving The Blot! 
Our Walk Is A Witness To Others On Or Seeking The Holy Way
And 
Our Mapped Way From The Master 
Points Us To The Master 
From Whom We Should Never Stray!  

Our Attitude About Our Mission Tells Others 
Aka Witnesses To The Truth Of What
Of How
And 
What We Really Think About Our Master 
And 
Our Lives On The Ground! 

Work, Witness, Walk, Worship Tell A Story 
And
Reveal A Life
So Dare To Be Bold 
And 
Walk To Worship On The Way To Work! 

Christian!?! 
Walk Like One! 
Worship The Son! 
Stay On The Way 
And 
Your Witness Shall Be That For Personal Sin, 
You, Most Assuredly, Shall Not Personally Pay 
Because 
You Walk Under The Banner Of 
Almighty God's Blessed-Forever Only Son! 

Beloved, 

Pray! 
Live For Jesus Christ Today And Always!

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Almighty God's Silence Is Not Consent To Sin!







There Is An Old Expression Which States: 
"Don't Take My Kindness For Weakness!" 

There Is Also The Warning Which States: 
"Just Because I Have Not Challenged You
It Does Not Mean That I Do Not Know What You Are Doing!" 

Beloved, 

Both Of These Statements Are Based On Scripture 
And 
Should Make Us Think Carefully 
And 
Act Differently 
If
We Are Living Lives That Cause Offense! 

Just Because Comment Is Not Immediate 
Or Punishment Swift For Aggregious Behavior
It Does Not Mean That Others Are As We Are 
And 
We All Walk Together In Unity! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Long-Suffering Toward Us 
As It Is Not His Desire That Anyone Should Perish! 

Think Of It As Giving Us Time 
To Make All Wrong Things Right! 

The Lord Has Clearly Told Us That 
Our Thoughts And Our Ways 
Are Not His Thoughts Or His Ways: 
One Thing To Be Taken From This 
Is 
That Almighty God Sees And Knows Everything
His Judgment Is Sure
And
His Punishment For Wrong-Doing 
Is 
Guaranteed To Be Executed On The Day Appointed ... By Him! 

Dear Ones, 

Self-Inspection Through God's Magnifying Glass 
Which Is The Living, Holy, Word 
Is
An Unimpeachable Disclosing Agent 
But
We Need To Cooperate With Christ Through The Holy Spirit 
To Redirect Our Footsteps 
To The Path Of Purity, Goodness, Kindness, Truth, And Light 
If
We Desire To Avoid The Wrath To Come! 

Let Us Bless The Living God 
And 
Do Right 
Because 
It Is Right! 

And

Let Us Daringly Check Ourselves 
Before We Wreck Ourselves: 
There Is No Do-Over After Death! 

Live For The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

PRAYING: Living Life When Christ Is All!








When We Have Elected 
To Take Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion 
And
Have Decided To Make Him Our Only Choice
Our Day Sounds Something Like This: 

"Good Morning, Lord! 
Thank You For My Spared Life 
And For Clothing Me In My Right Mind! 
I Give You Me 
And Ask You To Make Me A Blessing To Someone Today! 
I Love You, Lord! 

The Devil Is A Liar! 
I'm Glad, Lord, That You Are God! 
Save Me, Jesus! 
Lord, Have Mercy! 
Thank You, Lord! 

I AM A Child Of The King! 
The Lord Is My Shepherd! 
I Need You, Lord! 
I Trusted You, Lord! 
I Am Trusting You, Lord! 
Oh, Lord, Please Help Me To Trust You! 

Father, 
I Feel Weak But I Know That In You I Am Made Strong: 
Help Me To Keep My Hand In Yours! 

What Can Man Do To Me: 
I Fear The Living God! 

Lord, 
I Feel So Tired But I Can't Give Up 
And By Your Grace, I Won't Give In! 

Bless You, Lord! 
Thank You, Jesus! 

Lord, 
Please Help Me To Keep My Promises To You! 

There, But For Your Grace, Dear Lord, I Go! 

Lord, 
I Desire To Get Home To Glory 
And I Give You Permission To Get Me There 
By Any Means Necessary! 

Lord Jesus, 
How Did We Get Here!?! 

So Much Sorrow, Lord! 

Grant Them Travelling Mercies, Lord! 

Be With That Dear Soul In Mortal Danger: 
Please Grant Them Strength, Courage 
And An Opportunity To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin 
And Be Saved! 

Lord, 
I Repent: 
Please Forgive Me! 

For What I Am About To Receive, Lord
Let My Heart Be Truly Thankful! 

Heavenly Father, 
Please Grant Me A Peaceful Night's Sleep 
Where I May Put Away The Trials And Tribulations Of The Day 
And Rest Calmly Under Your Sheltering Wings! 
AMEN!!!"

There Is No Win With Presumptuous Sin!



The 19th Division Of The Psalms Starts With: 
"The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God ...!"
And 
Ends With: 
"Let The Words Of My Mouth 
And The Meditations Of My Heart Be Acceptable ...!" 

Both Heaven And Man Speak! 

Heaven Speaks Aka Declares God's Glory From The Position Of 
The Strength Of The Unimpeachable Truth 
And
We  Ask Or Should Ask, The Lord 
To Help Us To Operate In Such A Fashion That It Will Please 
Aka Bring Pleasure To His Eyes Which See All Things Always! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 
There Is Absolutely Nothing About Presumptuous Sin That Is 
Or Can Ever Be Pleasing In The Sight Of The Holy God 
Because 
It Is Sin Against Knowledge
An Act Of Idolatry
A Heaven-Daring Crime! 

There Is No Win In Presumptuous Sin! 

When You Know What You Are Doing Is Wrong, Wicked, Evil 
And 
You Choose To Do It Anyhow
You Are On Satan's Enchanted Ground 
And
In His Benighted Control! 

Almighty God Will Not Share His Glory ... 

Our Savior Jesus And That Devil Satan 
Cannot 
Nor Will Ever Share A Meal
A House
A Bill-Board 
Or A Soul! 

If Satan Is Your God
Deny, Disown And Discard Him With Alacrity! 

If Jesus Christ Is Your God
Please Serve Him As He Asks 
And
Expects ... As Your Reasonable Service!


Please Speak And Act To Profit Your Purchased Soul
And
Dare And Let Self-Will Be Damned 
As You Daily Choose To Turn Your Stubborn Will Over 
To The Ministration Of The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God 
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Wrath To Come! 

Peace!

Be Wise Unto Salvation!








Only In Jesus Christ 
Can Illness Illuminate The Darkness That Accompanies Sin
Turn A Test Into A Testimony To Bless Self And Others
And 
Transform A Mess Into A Message That 
Blesses Any And Everyone! 

Beloved, 

A Committed-To-Christ Christian 
Is Not 
A CINO Aka A Christian In Name Only! 

We Are Called 
To Be Wise Unto Salvation
To Recognize That We Are Weak 
When We Walk Outside The Wonderful Ways Of The Only Wise God
To Understand That Without Truth Our Living 
Is 
Terror, Test, Trial
Mistakes, Messes, Danger
Darkness And Despair 
And
All Without Hope Or Expectation Of The Eternity Of Peace 
With The Great God Of Glory! 

Dear Ones, 

A Life Lived Without The Light Of Life 
Ultimately Leads To The Darkness Of The Second Death! 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 
And 
Recognize That Sin In All Of Its Manifestations 
Aka Sinful Nature, Cultivated Sin
Cherished Sin, Presumptuous Sin
And 
The Sin That So Easily Besets 
Are All Illness Needing The Healing Touch Of The Great Physician
The God Who Knows, Sees, Feels 
And 
Is Ever Present! 

I Beseech Us All Today To Humble Ourselves ... And Pray
And 
Diligently Seek The Lord's Face
And 
Turn From All Of Our Known Wicked Ways 
So That Our God Will Not Shut Up Heaven Against Us
But 
Will Hear Us As We, In Need, Pray
And 
Will Forgive Us Of Our Sin, Transgressions
And 
Our Trespasses Against His Holiness 
And
Heal Us, Heal Our Land! 

Please Do Not Permit Willful Sin To Separate You 
From Jesus Christ Our Lord
The God Who, Alone, Saves! 

Praying In Faith ... In Childlike Trust
Is 
Powerful! 

Peace!

Enjoy In The Lord!









This Same Jesus
The Lord Of Earth And Glory
The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
Our Refuge And Strength
The Hope Of Every Man
The Joy Of Living
The Reason That We Are Alive 
And 
Able To Either Accept Or Reject His Love
His Easy Leadership
And 
His Everlasting Life
Speaks The Same Words Of Truth To Us Today! 

Jesus Christ Still Says: 

"Come Unto Me And I Will Give You Rest! 
Follow Me And Be Blessed! 
Oh, Taste And See That The Lord Is Good! 
Honor Me And I Will Honor You! 
Seek Me And You Will Find Me 
When You Seek Me With All Of Your Heart! 
Come Let Us Reason Together! 
Be Thou Clean! 
Thy Faith Hath Thee Whole! 
Be Thou Perfect As You Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 
Ask, And It Shall Be Given! 
Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn Of Me!"

And

" Pray Without Ceasing!" 

This Same Jesus Also Says: 

"Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
To Obtain Mercy! 
Resist The Devil! 
Walk In The Light!"

And

"Call Unto Me And I Will Answer Thee 
And Show The Great And Mighty Things 
Which Thou Knowest Not! 
Hold Fast What Thou Hast That No Man May Take Thy Crown!" 

And

"I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life!" 

Beloved, 

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever 
For In The Lord Jehovah Is Everlasting Strength! 

I Encourage Us All Today To Believe The Word Of The Lord 
And
Be Eternally Blessed 
Because
Great Is His Faithfulness! 

Be Strong As You Find Your Joy In 
And
Enjoy The Lord! 

Peace!

IT IS WRITTEN: The Living Word Works!

 


You Are A Spectator In A Battle For Which You Are Not Prepared! 

You Cannot Win In A Spiritual War 
If You Don't Know Your Savior
     His Character
          What He Does
                How He Will Do It
And 
                      Your Status In Him! 

Beloved, 

Would You Go To Do Battle In A Flooded Field 
Wearing Dress Clothes
Using Ball-Room Manners
And 
Holding A Butter-Knife When Your Enemy 
Indulges Guerrilla Warfare 
And 
Isn't Afraid To Stick You With A Long Blade 
Like You're A Pig At The Back-Yard Butcher 
Who Knows Running Blood Is Ready Money!?! 

As Believers, We Are People Of The Book
Learners Of The Word
And 
Good And Faithful Stewards Standing On The Promises Of God
Living For Jesus
Led By The Holy Spirit
Influenced By Holy Angels
Ready To Hear And Obey
Despisers Of Doubt
And 
Embracers Of Enduring Faith! 

We Stand Firm On 

"God Said It! I Believe It 
And That Settles All Questions For Me!" 

How Can We Be Settled In 
And
Live On The Word Of God When We Don't Know What It Says!?! 

Jesus Christ Won In His Battle With Satan 
In The Wilderness Of Temptation 
By Wielding The Weapon Of The Word 
And 
Declaring 

"It Is Written ...!" 

He Could Do That 
Because 
He Intimately Knew The Word
And 
Understood And Accepted As Fact That 
The Living Word Works
The Living Word Wars
And 
That He Could Win His Warfare 
With The Wonderful Words Of Life! 

It Is My Prayer That 
We Will Each Come To A Saving Knowledge Of 
The Word Of God That Speaks 
Everlasting Life! 

May The Holy Spirit Touch You Mightily 
As You Lovingly Touch The Word Of Truth Today! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mercy Is Free For Me And Thee!




How Often Have We Wanted, Needed, Desired Something 
But 
Didn't Receive It 
Because 
We Didn't Choose To Humble Ourselves Enough To Ask For It!?! 

Too Often, I Dare Say! 

Beloved, 

We Are Instructed 
To Approach Boldly The Throne Of Grace That 
We May Obtain The Available Mercy! 

If We Don't Ask For Almighty God's Mercy
Then We Will Not Find His Free-To-All Grace
That Unmerited Favor
The Divine Power To Help Us In Our Time Of Need 
Which Is Every Day That Live And Breathe! 

If You're Proud, Humble Yourself! 

If Your Dumb, Speak In Your Heart
Write A Note
Talk Your Talk To The Lord! 

Remember That We Don't Pray As We Ought To 
So, In Mercy, The Holy Spirit Intercedes For Us 
With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered! 

Our Joy 
Is 
To Ask 
And 
Almighty God's Love Always Answers With What Is Best For Us 
And
Delivers More And Better Than We Could Have Ever Asked
Anticipated Or Expected! 

Mercy Is A Truly Beautiful Word, Concept, Construct, That 
We Should Gladly Accept 
And
Generously Apply! 

Mercy: 

Meeting 
Each 
Request With 
Compassion For Every 
Yearning Soul

There Is Forgiveness, Benevolence
And 
Kindness Within The Lord's Mercy 
So Big-Up Yourself By Showing Yourself Small
Helpless, Sinful
Needy
Repentant, Reconciled, Redeemed
Blessed! 

Please Put Arrogance And Pride Out Of Your Heart-House 
And 
Actively Seek Kindness From Jesus Christ The Lord! 

May The Blessings Of The Lord Make You Rich Today 
And 
Forever! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Bre'k A Short Crop!







When We Were Growing Up
The Elders Had An Expression Used Against Those 
Who Despised Correction 
And 
Were Disrespectful Of Authority 
Which Should Give Us Pause, Especially Today! 

"You Ain't Raised Up, Yuh Dragged Up 
And Yuh Gine Bre'k A Short Crop!" 
Aka You Have Raised Yourself 
And 
You Will Not Amount To Anything! 

Talk About Leaving Yourself With No Remedy! 
Whoa! 

Beloved, 

These Are Seriously Damning Words 
And 
As People Of The Book
We Should Seriously Look At Ourselves
And Those Whom We Love
And Those For Whom We Care 

And

Choose The Good Part 
And 
Get Off Broadway And Easy Street
And Keep Right On This Is The Way, Walk Ye In It
And Hold Strain On It's Not An Easy Road
And Tighten Your Belt On His Yoke Is Easy
And Replenish Your Supplies On Shepherd's Bush
And Put Your Hand In The Hand Of The God-Man On Revive Us Again
And 
Fix Your Mind On No More Night! 

Consider This ... 

Easy Ain't Always Healthy 
And 
Hard Ain't Automatically Deadly! 

Remember, Dear Ones, That 
Children Of The Faithful Father
Earnest, Cooperative, Obedient
Willing To Learn
Willing To Try
Trusting
And 
Intent On Doing The Will 
And 
Walking Wisely In Way Marked For Their Feet
Are Blessed, Protected, Comforted, Carried
Held, Helped, Healed
And
Happy! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Disobedience Pays Negative Wages: 
Obedience Pays Dividends! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

A Harvested Crop Cannot Bear Fruit A Second Time 
So Grow In All You Can 
While You Can 
In The Garden Of Grace! 

Keep On The Sunny Side Of Life! 

Peace!

Blessed Are They That Do His Commandments!




If Loving The  Lord Is Keeping His Commandments Aka Obedience
Then Being Thankful To Him
Being Grateful For His Love
Is 
Giving Him Free-Will, Heartfelt, Worship 
And 
Total Praise! 

If Knowing Your End Keeps You From Sinning
Then Knowing Your Beginning
Honoring Your Creator
Embracing Wisdom
Shall Keep You In The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

If The Lord Honors Those Who Honor Him
It Is Obvious Then That He Will Lift You Up 
In The Time Appointed! 

If You Hide The Word Of The Lord
- The Truth That Saves - 
In Your Heart To Be A Lamp For Your Feet 
And
The Light On The Way Home To Glory
Then Those Who Cast The Truth To The Ground 
Walk In Darkness 
And 
Shall Go To Hell!  

If The Lord Is Our Gentle Shepherd
Then We Are His Blessed Sheep 
On Lush Ever-Green Pastures 
Near Still Waters Sweet
And 
We Know That Our Restored Souls 
He Lovingly, Faithfully, Keeps! 

Beloved, 

Let No One Persuade You 
Our Holy God Faithful To Spurn 
So That From The Path Of Truth And Duty
From Wise Discernment
Unto Fables And Idols 
You, Totally Deceived, Turn! 

Please Dare To Let Faith Be First: 
Give Doubt No Hold! 

Please Choose To Let Trust Be First: 
Heaven Is The Only Goal! 

Please Courageously Let Truth Be First: 
Jesus Christ Is The Keeper Of Your Soul! 

Please Stand Up For The Lord Christ
- Our True And Only King - 
And 
In This Matter, Be Very, Very, Bold! 

Ever Remember To Walk Onward 
And 
Upward Into Truth! 

Peace!

Don't Be At Odds With Almighty God!




How Does One Pray For A Presumptuous Person 
Who Knowingly, Maliciously, Energetically
Aggressively Indulges In Evil-Doing 
While They Gloatingly Say That This Is Who They Are 
And
That They Can't Change!?! 

Only The Living God
May Say:
I AM That I AM!

The First Thing To Note Is That 
The Only Being That Cannot Change 
Is 
Almighty God 
So That Must Mean That That Person Is Almighty God! 

The Problem With That Assumption, Though
Is 
That Almighty God Does Not Do Evil 
So Whoever This Cannot-Change Person Is
They Are A Fraud ... A False God 
And As Such 
They Are Putting Themselves At Odds With The Eternal God 
Who Has Clearly Stated That 
We Should Have No Others Gods But The Lord! 

Beloved, 

We Must Tread Softly Before The Living God! 

When The Ark Of God Almighty Was Placed In The Temple Of 
The Philistine Fish-God, Dagon
It Came To A Destructive End With It Being Toppled Over 
And 
With Its Head And Hands Severed! 

Who Can Live Without A Head!?! 

How Do We Pray For "Motivated" Evil-Doers!?! 

By The Grace Of The Eternal God
We Pray For Their Deliverance From Destruction And Death 
By Them Humbly Giving 
Their Own Willing Confession And Repentance Of Their Known Sin! 

We Pray That They Will Cooperate With Christ 
By Letting The Holy Spirit Do His Necessary Work In Their Life! 

I Pray To Almighty God That 
None Of Us Are Counted Amongst The Unrepentant 
In The Day Of The Settlement Of Accounts 
With Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Dear Lord, 
Please Help Us To Yield To You
And
Be Wholly Thine! 
AMEN!!! 

Peace Be Upon You!
