VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Hide And Buy!?!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

The Old Saw Says That You Can Hide And Buy Ground 

But 

You Cannot Hide And Reap It! 

Let's Ask Ourselves This Question: 

Since The Lord Jesus Did Not Hide 

To Buy Us Back From Death, The Grave

And 

Damnation And Hell

Why Would We Believe It Is Okay To "Serve" The Lord On The Down-Low 

And 

Live With The Great Expectation Of Receiving A Key To The Eternal Kingdom 

With The Public Acknowledgement!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Neither Had Nor Has Secret Prophets

Teachers, Healers, Preachers, Nor Servers! 

There Has Never Been Nor Will Ever Be 

Secret Saints Or Undercover Overcomers! 

Question Again: 

Why Would The Lord Ask His People To Be Very Courageous 

And 

To Be Strong In Him And In The Power Of His Might!?! 

Beloved, 

Nobody Needs Courage To Hide 

But 

Any And Everbody Needs Courage And Strength To Endure

To Stand Alone ... Exposed

In The Gleam Of Bright Light 

And 

Under The Venomous Stench Of The Hostile Glare

The Precursor Of Iniquitous Intent! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is The Great I AM! 

With Him Ever With Us And Always For Us

There Is No Need To Fear What Man Can Physically Do To Us! 

Let Us Bow Before Our Lord Jesus ... In Godly Fear 

In Awe Of Him Who Can And Will Give Us 

... Who Obediently Choose To Endure The Walk Through The Dark Valley ... 

The Blessing Of Entry Into His Marvelous Light 

With Bodies Like His Own! 

Brethren, 

We Shall See Him As He Is For We Will Be Like Him 

And 

Be A Part Of The Clan Called The Family Of God! 

So, Then, Dear Ones, Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And 

Lift Up Your Heads 

And 

Live Victorious Lives ... In Him And

For Him

For He Was And Is For You, For Me, For Us! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Life In Christ!

Psalm 38:12 KJV

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

The Devil Is The Liar 

And 

Those In His Employ Will Do All To Trip Us, Trap Us, And Terrorize Us 

If We Forget That The Lord Is For His People! 

Somebody With Nothing To Lose And Nothing To Gain 

Is 

Going To Dare Us To Go Against The Plain 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Another Wicked One Who Despises 

Our Steadfast Love Of And Faithfulness To The Lord Christ 

Will Set Traps For Our Feet! 

And Still Another Will Play On What Things Are Known 

To Cause Humans To Tremble In Fear! 

Beloved, 

Christians Committed To Christ Are Made Of Sterner Stuff 

Because 

They Love The Lord

Trust His Word

And 

Have The Holy Spirit As Their Teacher 

Who Leads Them Into All Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Plain "I Will Be With You Always!" 

To Envelop Us! 

We Have A Clear "Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!" 

To Draw Us! 

We Have An Unambiguous "They That Wait Upon The Lord 

Shall Renew Their Strength!" 

We Don't Need Strength To Sleep! 

We Need Strength To Struggle, To Fight

To Battle

And 

To Wage War Against Doubt, Despair

Sin, Self, And Satan! 

We Have Our Savior Who Has Won Us The Victory! 

Let Us Not Be Lax! 

Let Us Choose To Win Our Personal Battle Against Sin 

By Taking Our Daily Step To Christ! 

The Devil Is Damned: 

Let Your Sin Be On Him ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Everlasting Portion! 

I Bid You Jesus! 

Beloved, I Bid You Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Bold And Daring Confidence!?!

KJV Psalms 19:7, 11

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Oh, How We As Faithful Christians Love To Talk About 

Encourage Yourself 

... But ... 

We Seem To Have A Great Reluctance To Do 

A Deep Dive Into Examine Yourself! 

Come On! 

'Fess Up! 

Guilty Or Not Guilty!?! 

Alright, Alright! 

I Am Guilty As Charged! 

Beloved, 

Think On This Thing: 

Do You Have A Bold And Daring Confidence 

In The Goodness And Grace Of Our Lord And God 

But 

Are Playing Fast And Real Loose With Your Required Obedience 

To His Immutable Aka Unchanging As In Fixed For All Eternity Laws!?! 

Been There, Done That! 

I've Got The Scars And The Tee-Shirtsss As Memorial Proof! 

Dear Ones, 

In This Light, Should We Not Think Of 

The Biblical Characters Who, Brazenly Contemptuous Of The Love Of God

Threw Away The Eternal Life Of Peace 

To Hold A Sensual Piece Of 

Fading, Dying, Temporal Aka Earthly Life!?! 

Remember Achan, Prophet Balaam

King Saul

Nabal

King Ahab And Queen Jezebel

King Herod

And

Ananias And Sapphira! 

And 

Lest We Forget To Remember

Even Those Whose Sin Was Covered Because Of Their Heartfelt Repentance

The Consequence Of Their Confessed Sin Remained In Place 

And

Was Executed 

And 

Had Far-Reaching Impacts On Themselves

Their Families 

And 

Their Nations! 

King David, King Solomon

And 

King Manasseh 

Readily Come To Mind! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Live As A Wizard Of ID 

Aka Wizard Of Intentionality And Deliberation 

To Commit Known Sin Willfully 

In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Promise To Pay 

Aka Check Cashing And Check Kiting 

Are In The Domain Of King Fraud 

And 

Are Not Part Of The Law Of The Lord! 

Trust Dead And Bad-Pay Killed Him 

So Be Prepared With Cash 

Aka Skin To Bray Aka To Pay 

When Indulging In Deliberate Sinning 

Because 

You Shall Surely Not Be Winning! 

Brethren, 

Please Slow Yuh Roll

Freely Choose By Faith To Ignore The Wicked Bold 

And

With Wise Ways

Enduringly Follow The Lord Jesus Obediently 

To Receive Your Inheritance 

In The Kingdom Where The Streets Are Pure Gold! 

The King's Law Is Love! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Excelsior! Really!?!

Philippians 3:14 KJV

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Bandy, You Should Be Feeling Quite Silly Right About Now! 

Why!?! 

What Did I Do!?! 

Exactly! 

Huh!?! 

You Didn't Do A Thing And That Is Your Problem! 

Oh, Brother! 

Tommy, If You Could See Your Way To Tell Him What You're Talking About 

And Stop Having It Be So Obscure

Perhaps He Could Defend Himself! 

Okay, Rudy! 

Alright, Bandy! 

Where Do You Work!?! 

I Work Right Here At Excelsior! 

And What Are You Always Talking About!?! 

I Talk About Excelsior! 

Yes, Bandy! 

Excelsior This, Excelsior That, Excelsior Will! 

Do You Know What Excelsior Means!?! 

Why Would I! 

It's Just A Name! 

Bandy, You Real Pitiful, You Know! 

Why!?! 

Because I Ain't Swallow A Dictionary Like You!?! 

Nope, Bandy! 

I Say That You Are Pitiful Because You Profess That 

You Are A Committed Christian

And 

You Are Always Belaboring Our Ears 

With The Topic Of Climbing The Ladder To Glory

Apostle Paul And Aiming For The Prize Of The Upward Call 

And Not Looking Back To What Was

But Focusing On What Will Be! 

Strangely, Though, You Have Not Seen Fit 

To Associate Your Christianity With The Meaning Of 

The Name Of Your Workplace! 

Tommy, Please Pardon Me For Asking

But How Do These Two Things Correlate!?! 

It's Simple My Young Friends: 

Apostle Paul Is Seeking The Prize Of The Upward Call 

And

Excelsior Means "Ever Upward!" 

Lord, Have Mercy! 

He Will! 

You All Refuse To Listen When I Tell You To Read A Book 

And To Understand That Nothing Is As It Appears! 

Tommy, You Are Right! 

I Feel Real Silly Right Now! 

No Need, Bandy! 

You Finally Got It Straight! 

Remember This Though:

Man Can Never Outrun The Lessons Of The Living Word! 

I Hear That! 

Peace!
