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!
