VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Know What I Want, No, Uh, Need!?!

 

I Know What I Want, But I Need What The Lord Jesus Has For Me! Which Desire Shall Win The Lord Already Knows, But I Need To Find Out And Designate It! Lord, Help!

Come On, Saira, You Know Right From Wrong, Truth From Error, Need From Want, AND, Most Importantly, You Well Know That Any Gift Given To You From Our Lord Jesus Is Best And Blessed, No Sorrow To Follow!

That Is True, Gabby, But I ...!

... Stop Right There, Saira! There Is No "But" When It Comes To Our Trusting The Lord For And In All That Concerns Us And Our Well-Being!

I Know, Gabby, But ...! 

... There You Go Again Butting! Are You A Goat Of The Hard-Head Persuasion!?!

No, Gabby, It Is Just That ...! 

... Father, Preserve Us! 

Saira, Pick One: Apple, Orange, Or Banana!

Do You Have Granny Smith, MacIntosh, Or Red Delicious Apples!?!

They Are MacIntosh Apples!

Are The Oranges Blood, Juice, Bitter, Or Navel!?!

Are You For Real!?!

Yes, I Am! I Have Standards, You Know!

Okay, They Are Navel Oranges! 

Are The Bananas Lady Finger, Apple Banana, Or Big Mike Bananas!?!

They Are Apple Bananas!

I Do Not Like Any Of Those Choices So I Can't Make A Decision! 

Lord, Save Us! 

Brethren, This ... This Is A Classic Example Which Demonstrates Why Most Of Us Will Never Get To Enter The Land Where We Won't Cast Shadows! 

Would You Like To Explain That Remark, Gabby!

Gladly, Saira! 

The Lord Jesus, Our Very Creator, The Life Giver, Offers And Makes Available, And Easily Accessible, Free-To-All Salvation, And Most Of Us, Like Our Saira, For Example, Instead Of Accepting The Gift Without Price Or Equal From The Only Wise God, Proceed To Have "Standards" And Offer The Lord Their "Specifications" While Failing Or Neglecting To Realize ...! 

... You Mean Pridefully Fronting With Nothing, Gabby!

I Was Trying To Be Delicate, Delia! 

Well, You Failed! 

Okay, Moving On Smartly! 

We Fall Short Of The Lord's Glory, Have Nothing To Offer To Save Ourselves, And, Yet, We Have Demands, Non-Negotiables, And Red Lines For The Lord ... He Who Gives The Breath Of Life! Would Somebody Make This Make Sense!?!

You're Asking For The Impossible, Gabby! 

Do You Have Anything To Say Besides "Sorry, Lord!" Saira!?! 

Hearing How You've  Laid It Out, Gabby, Makes Me Sound And Feel Like A Real Ingrate!

We All Need To Accept That Charge, Saira, Because That Is Exactly How We All Behave, Or Have Behaved, Before We Acknowledged Our Bankrupt Behavior And Confessed Our Sin With A Heartfelt Repentance To Our Father In The Name Of His Son, Our Savior, Jesus! Scripture Speaks Truly About Us!

How So, Sue!?!

It Asks, "What Can A Man Pay To Redeem His Soul!?!" 

You Know That It Takes A Truly Weighty Pair Of Brasses To Tell The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh, The Creator, That His Gift Has Gaps, And That His Glory Ain't All That! 

Lord, Forgive Our Foolishness Even As You, In Mercy, Remember Our Frame!

 AMEN!!!

Whatever The Lord Has For Us Is Perfectly Perfect! 

That's Not True, Trent! 

What Do You Mean, Manny!?! 

Perfectly Perfect Suggests The Possibility That lt Could Have Been Perfectly Imperfect: Both Are Made-Man Constructs! 

Let Us Use The Lord's Words To Us About His Gifts For Us! Almighty God's Gifts To Us Are Good And ... Perfect ... No Qualification! 

Gabby!?! 

Yes, Saira!?! 

I Will Take An Apple, A Banana, And An Orange! 

Greedy, Much!?! 

The Lord Giveth Grandly And I Accepteth Gladly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace, People! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mimicking Or Mirroring The Master!?!

 

Be Like Jesus! Love One Another! When The Character Of Christ Is Perfected In Us, Jesus Will Come To Claim Us Who Are His Own! 

Does That Mean That We Will Look Like Jesus Or Act Like Jesus Or Both!?! How Can I Know!?! 

Are We To Mimick The Lord!?! Anybody Got A Mirror! 

Funny You Mention Mimick AND Mirror, Macy-May! 

Ain't Nothing Funny About That, Gracy-Faye! Whenever, Wherever There Is Anything Spoken Or Done Or To Be Done For Or In The Name Of Our Jesus, It Is Guaranteed That There Will Be Mimics And Mirrors On The Back-Hand Side Because Of That Side-Winder, Satan The Damned! 

True That! Our Jesus Is Perfect, And He Says, "Be Ye Perfect Even As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect!" 

And What Do We Often See On Show!?! 

Yes, Dingus!?! 

That's An Easy Answer, Macy-May! We See Parodies Parading Prominently! We See Mincing Mimicks And ...! 

... We See Mirror Madness! 

What's This Mirror Madness, Milo!?! Ahhh, Mirror Madness! That, My Friends, Is One Of Beelzebub's Baleful Bests ... With A Branch! 

Do Share, Mon Frere! 

When We View The Lord, What We See Is What We Receive! When We Faithfully Follow The Lamb, There Ain't No Goat Parts Passing, People! 

Very True! 

So What If I Tell You That Beelzebub The Bold And Brazen Displays A True Mirror Of Our Beautiful Savior On A Branch Of A Goodly Tree!!?! 

Just As You Reach The Branch Of A Tree Before You May Touch The Tree, The Source Of Its Life, We See Satan's "Good" Mirror On The Extended Branch Of His Goodly Tree, And We Stand Still, Looking Real Fine, And Preen, Pose, And Present Our Position When, Suddenly, The Branch Is The Tree And The Tree Is The Mirror Is Become A House Of Mirrors ... Circus Mirrors! 

Merciful Powers! 

Good Call, Calley! 

I Remember Those Circus Mirrors From My Ill-Spent Youth! Those Things Would Give A Person Nightmares After Making You Want To Upchuck Your Fairground Eats! 

That Sounds Positively Vile ... Evil! 

There! You Said It, Cravitz! Bait And Switch! Exchange Gold To Get Pyrite! Throw Away Beauty And Glow-Up With ... Ashes!?! 

Brethren, This Is Where The Rubber Meets The Road! In The Compromise With Sin, The Caricature Becomes The Keeper, The Kept, And, Ultimately, When Christ Comes, The Cast Off, The Cast Out! 

Wow! Do I Hear Upcoming Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth!?! 

You Better Believe It! Jesus Is Right, Light, Pure, Perfect, No Derivatives, No Shadows, No Mirrors! 

We Are Not To Be Merchandise, To Be Manipulated, Packaged, Branded, Sold Out! 

We Are Bought With A Price Not Known To Be Silver Or Gold! 

We Walk In Light, In Love, By Faith, Through Grace, In Truth! 

Brethren, Those Are Real, Bold, Plain Statements Of Fact, No Wavering, No Waffling, No Buffering, No Sick-Inducing Parodies! Jesus Saves Souls From Sin! 

These Parodies, These Mimicks, Encourage People To, With Comfort, Play In And With Sin ...  To Conform To The Classes Of This World ... And Not To Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Their Minds Through Christ Who Strengthens Them! 

Do You Know What's The Difference Between The Mirror Of The Word Of God And Satan's Circus Mirror!?! 

Yes, Calley! 

The Mirror Of The Lord's Word Will Only Show You What's Wrong Whilst Satan's Shining Sifter Shimmeringly Shifts Us Through The Stages Of The Changes Of A Life That Blasts Us And Benefits Him! 

Wow, Calley! Color Me Surprised! Not! He's The Father Of Lies, Ain't He!?! 

Look, Let's Just Settle This! Give Me Jesus Because With Him, I'll Rise!

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Constant Effort Must Be Put Forth If We Are To Stay True To Truth In The Light Of Life! 

As We Started, Let Us End: Be Like Jesus! Let It Be Your Song ... Your Reasonable Service! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Imagine This ... If You Dare!

 

I Double-Dog Dare You Miserable Wretches ...! 

... Wait, Who She Calling Miserable Wretches!?! 

Cloris Is Calling Us, Her Dear Friends, By That Appellation, Norbert! 

I Ain't Neither Miserable Nor A Wretch, Nancy! 

You're Wrong Twice, Norbie! 

Explain Yourself, Nancy! 

I Surely Will, My Friend! We Belong To The Laodicean Church So We Are Miserable: Our Jesus Said So In Revelation Chapter Three! 

The Apostle Paul Said In Romans 7:24: “O Wretched Man that I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death?” 

You See, The Romans Had A Thoroughly Nasty Penchant For Attaching A Dead Body To Someone Who They In Turn Wanted To Dispatch With Prejudice, So He Was Painting A Picture For His Audience Which They Would Understand While Showing That We Were In Dying Bodies Ourselves Because Of Our Sinful Condition By Nature, And Nurture Aka Our Training And Practice! 

I Am Sure That That Ghastly Practice Was Inspired By Demons, Norbie! 

And I Agree With You, Nancy! But Why Was Cloris Speaking Like That!?! 

She Is Angry, And So Should We Be, Because The Lord Is Good To And For Us, And Instead Of Us Being Grateful And Thankful, We Crucify Him Afresh, Sabotage His Work, And Bring Him To An Open Shame! 

Do You Know What The Lord Does Instead Of Destroying Us Or Helping Us To Destroy Ourselves For Our Base Ingratitude!?! 

Tell Me, Norbie! Tell Me What I Should Already Know! 

Willie-Sue, Our Lord Jesus Made, Makes A Way, Shows, Offers, Invites Us To Apply To Be A Part Of His Team - No Tricks, No Traps - By His Holy Spirit Who Will Surely Lead Us Into All Truth! 

So What Is The Problem With That, Norbie!?! 

The Problem, Clammy-Cherry, Is That We Are So Caught Up In Appearances, And Titles, And Compensation Potential That We Reject What Lasts Forever For That Which Can't Last No Matter How It Is Framed And Funneled! 

Do You Remember That Expression Which Says: "Beauty Fades But Ugly Lasts Forever!?!" 

Of Course, Nancy! 

You Do Know That It's A Lie When Spiritually Applied! 

How So!?! 

The Ugliness Of Sin Cannot Last Forever Because Sin Will Not Arise A Second Time In The Earth Made New! 

Secondly, The Beautiful Gospel Of Truth Which Speaks Of The Beautiful Savior Lasts Forever Because Our Jesus, Our Savior, Died Once For All Mankind, His Body Never Saw Corruption, And He Now Lives Forever! 

His Beauty Will Grow More Beautiful To Us During The Ceaseless Years Of Eternity Because We Who Believe To The End, And Are Rewarded With Everlasting Life At The Last Trumpet, Will Look Upon Him Through Truly Seeing Eyes Of Cumulative Holy Love! 

I Like That Word-Picture, Norbie! 

Cloris, I Agree With You And Have One Thing To Add For All Of Us! 

Let Us Not Permit Pride To Cause Us To Try To Purchase Pre-Paid Free-To-Anyone Tickets On The Day After The Request-Accept-By Date! 

There Shall Be Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth ... With Fierce Regret! 

Oh, That Land Of Regret Where Everyone Stands Alone! 

Cloris, It's Time To Talk To Jesus:  I Am A Miserable Wretch And Only The Lord Jesus Can Fix Me! 

I'm With You, Willie-Sue! 

Regret And Salvation Are One-On-One Encounters So Let Us Permit Our Now-Present, Positively Actionable Regret Over Our Known Sin Pilot Us To Salvation-From-Sin Purchased For Us By Our Dear Savior's Sacrifice!

AMEN!!! 

I Love It, Love It, Love It: Let Regret Serve The Higher Purpose ... When It Matters! 

Peace! 

 

 

Dare To Be Limpets On Jesus!

 Stacey, What's Going On That This Business Meeting Is So Packed!?!

Cherish, My Dear, Newley Has Been Spreading "New Light" Amongst The Membership And The Church Board Has Ordered Him To Present His Position To The Whole Church ... Or Else! 

Lord, Help Him If He Does Not Have Bible For His Feet! 

Look, There, He's Going To The Lectern! 

|*|*|*|*|

Good Evening, Brethren! Thank You For This Invitation To Speak! I Was Praying For This Opportunity, And The Good Lord Heard My Earnest Prayer! 

Brethren, My So-Called New Light Proceeds From An Old Lamp Ever New Filled With Oil From The Source Eternal! 

Our Lord Jesus Called Himself The Vine, And He Called Us The Branches! He Made It Clear, No Ambiguous Language, That His Father Is The Husbandman! 

If You Have Ever Observed A Botanical Garden, Or Even A Home Garden Lovingly Tended By Your Local Green Thumb, You Know That That Gardener, That Husbandman, Does Not Wax Poetic Only! They Are Observant, Strategic, Prudent, And When Called For Executive, Judicial, And With The Passage Of Time, The Destroyer, With Prejudice Aka No Coming Back, Of Those Plantings That Don't, Can't, Won't Fulfill Their Purpose Of Record! 

Jesus Said That If We Abide In Him And He Abides In Us, We Will Bear Much Fruit, John Chapter 15 Verses 4 And 5! 

There Is No Us Outside Of Jesus! 

Preach, Bro. Newley!!! 

We Are The Apple Of His Eye! If We Remove That Apple, Us, It's Going To Hurt And Leave A Terrible Scar, Quite Disfiguring! 

Our Names Are Written On The Palms Of His Hands! 

You Do Remember Calvary, Don't You!?! 

AMEN!!! 

Well, To Write Names On Flesh Will Undoubtedly Leave Scars After The Inflicted, Excruciating, Unbelievably Mind-Numbing Pain ... Our Jesus Rejected The Intoxicant Which Would Have Made The Writing Bearable ...! 

... No Disrespect, Bro. Newley, But You Make The Lord Sound Like A Glutton For Punishment! 

No Offense Taken, Bonita! 

Our Lord Was, Is, The Savior Of Souls, Forever Claiming Us Who Are His Own! We Are His By Creation And Redemption, And As We Like To Say Of The Memorials Of Our Experiences In This Eventful Life Of Ours, He's Got His Scars And Our Robes And Crowns And Overcomers' Palms And Homes In The Father's House For Us To Prove It! 

Now, Let's Do A Pivot! 

Have You Ever Heard Of Or Seen A Limpet!?! 

Oh, Sure! 

They Cling To The Rocks At The Seaside! 

What If I Were To Tell You That Those Clinging Shells Exercise, I Didn't Say Have, More Sense, More Wisdom, More Understanding That We Verbosely Committed Christians Of The Spout Scripture Out Of Context Chapter And Verse Persuasion! 

And, We're Off And Running, Cherish! 

We Sure Are, Stacey! 

Brethren, Those Often Colorful, Sometimes Bland Looking, Always Wonderfully Made Limpets Know Their Mission, Got Their Methods, Follow The Rules Of Engagement, And Do Not Depart The Battlefield To Engage Folly! 

Brethren, Do Not Despise Small Things, But Instead, Choose To Ask Questions Before You Destroy What You Have Not Investigated Against The "Thus Saith The Lord Our God!" 

I Introduced To My Friends And Relations The Link Between The Lord's Story, His Lesson For Us Of The Vine, The Branches And The Husbandman AND The "Parable" Of Our Marine Limpet AND Calvary's Results, The Marks Of Which Will Only Be Found On The Person Of Our Conquering Hero, Our Redeemer, Our Savior And King! 

I Pray That He Will Not Be A Frowning Judge At Me! 

Our Little Limpet Has A Foot! He Walks And He Goes And Gathers Food, And Like Any Gastropod, He Leaves A Mucus Trail! 

When There Is Stormy Weather Or Turbulence Around Him, He Locks Himself Down On His Foundation! 

I Dare You All To Be Shocked At What I Will Next Say Because I Am Going To Insult Everyone Of Us Right Now: Our Little Limpet Does Not Sleep Away From Home! He Goes Out From Home All The While Leaving His Mucus Trail, And He Returns Home To His Same Place Of Rest ... And Abides! 

He Settles In That Space BECAUSE It Is A Scar Shaped Like Him That Fits No One Else Save Him! 

Can We, Are We Able To Say The Same Thing!?! 

I'll Leave You With This Little Nugget As An Ode To The Limpet Who Is Not A Christian: Only Those Who Follow The Lamb Wherever He Goes Will Enter The Kingdom! 

The Limpet's Home

Is

A Scar On The Rock Which Cannot Be Moved!

 

Jesus Christ Is The Rock Which Fills The Whole Earth: Are You Stuck On Him!?! 

Lord Jesus, I Sincerely Pray That When You Come To My Name For Judgment That You Will Trace The Scar That Marks My Forever Home, My Eternal Place On And In You! Lord, I Am For You! Let Some Good Be Done Today! AMEN! 

|*|*|*|*|

The Church Kept Silence! 

Peace! 

Stop Telling Me How I Should Pray!

I Don't Know About You, But I Am Heartily Sick And Really Tired Of People Telling Me How I Should Pray To Make The Living God Answer My Prayers And Give Me What I Want, How I Want It, And When I Want It! 

What Do You Think Is The Purpose Of The Holy Spirit Who Interprets Our Prayers!?! 

If I Can "Make" The Lord, The God Of Glory, Answer My Prayers, I Am God, And I Don't Need That Living God, And I, Therefore, Have No Need To Pray! 

Do You See The Stupidity That Is Masquerading As So-Called Good Theology!?! 

Did You Hear The One About The Lord Using Only Those Persons With A Particular Birthdate!?! 

Either People's Brains Burping On The Regular, Or The Clowns Running The Circus! 

Or Mice In The Good Seed, Bats In The Belfry ...! 

... Or We Are Lazy, Becoming Lazy, Or Are Choosing To Let Others Plant, Raise, Harvest, And Serve Us Our Food Already Masticated Aka Already Chewed, Ready To Swallow! 

Hell And Damnation!?! 

Right In One! 

But Getting Back To This Perfect Prayer That The Lord Can't Refuse: Isn't That The Prayer Of Faith!?! 

Yes, It Is, BUT Even Then The Lord, In Infinite Wisdom And Mercy For Love Toward Us, Sometimes Says "No!" To Our Faith-Filled Petitions! 

But, Grannum, What Is Being Revealed Is That That Malevolent Spirit Is At Work And Working Overtime And Gaining Staff! 

Yes, Pinks, He Is, But It Is Also Exposing And Reinforcing The Eden Conspiracy! 

I Can't Say That I've Ever Heard That Expression, Grannum! 

Well, Pinks, Remember Eve Believing The Stranger, Not Her God, And Accepting That The Forbidden Fruit, Easy On The Eye, Could Make Her Wise And God-Like! 

Consider These Prayer Coaches  Guaranteeing The Year Of The Lord's Favor: What's The Difference Between Them And Satan And His Fallen Angels!?! 

None! 

The Lord Gave Us A Framework For Prayer: Use It! 

He Said: Pray And Plead With Thanksgiving For Everything! He Said Believe! He Said Pray Without Ceasing! What He Did Not Say Is Let Someone Who Is Not You Pray As You For What You Want, Need, With Formulaic Intensity! 

You Are An Individual With A Direct Line To The Heart Of God ...! 

... Sorry To Cross You, But I Just Remembered About The One That Says That You Can't Pray Lying On Your Bed! 

Alright, Already, Thompie! Color Me Ridiculous! Are We Really Going To Accept This Rubbish And Believe That The Good God In Heaven Will Reject The Prayers Of The Bed-Ridden, The Invalided, The Hospitalized, Those Languishing Prostrate On Beds Of Torture, Because They Cannot Stand Up Or Kneel Before His Exalted Self, Because He Is "Fragile" And Will Not Be Disrespected By An Unbended Knee!?! 

Sounds Right ... Per Them! 

Is This What We Have Come To!?! Isn't Our God Gracious, Long-Suffering, Gentle, Kind, Loving ... Understanding ... Seeing Other Than We See, Remembering That We Are Dust, Knowing Our Frame!?! 

"Yes!" On All Points! So, Who Is Signing Pay-Checks For These  Charlatans!?! 

Somebody Satan-Adjacent! 

You Ain't Lying, Lucy! 

Father, In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus, Grant Us Your Grace, Your Strength, And Keep Us Strong In And By The Word Of Truth To Withstand The Slithering Evil Masquerading As A "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Be Wise For Your Own Self And Unto Salvation! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Who Is He To You!?!

Let's See: Director, Protector, Leader, Feeder, Teacher, Shelter, Counselor PLUS My Glory, My Crown! 

Now Tell Us How Many Of These Do You Wittingly, Willingly, Permit Him To Be To You Each And Every Day!?! 

Bro. Brinks, Are We Fronting Or Factual!?! 

Oh, Come On, Macy! You're Not Supposed To Say The Quiet Part Out Loud!!! 

It's Pertinent, Cassy, And You Know It! 

Okay, Brethren, Let's Stay On Track! Macy, You Well Know That Fronts Fail And Facts Assail! 

In That Case, Bro. Brinks, Every Day, Without Thought, The Lord Is My Feeder And I Accept That Good Food Which He Provides Me As My Due ...! 

... Macy, You Can't ...! 

... Don't Interrupt Me! I'm Spitting Facts Not Fantasy For Face For A Choir! 

I "Permit" The Lord To Be My Teacher And Counselor Sometimes, But Especially When I'm In A Bind With No Obvious Way Out! 

On A Good Day, The Lord Will "Get" To Be My Leader, Shelter And Protector And, Being Me, When I Recognize These Mercies, I Accept Them Without So Much As A "Thank You, Lord, I Love You!" Because, Well, Why Not, It's His Job! 

Macy, No!!! 

Don't Stop, Macy, You're Telling The Facts Aka The Truth For This Hour! We All Do It But You're The Only One Of Us Honest Enough To Say It Publicly! 

Oh, Boy, We Can Always Trust Our Macy To Stir Up A Red-Ants Nest!

Girlie, These Ants Stinging Me In Strange Places And The Burning Ain't No Joke! 

Same, Sadie, Same! 

Brethren, When I'm "Feeling" Generous Aka My Neck Is In A Noose, Knickers In A Twist, Or I Have Experienced A "Dear Lord, Save Me!" Bum-Rush, I Ever So Grudgingly, Eyelids Down, "Allow" The Good Lord To Be My Director ... My Savior! 

And For My Piece de Resistance, No Shame In My Game, I Judiciously Acquire Aka Assume The Lord As My Glory And My Crown In The Presence Of Those Whom I Accept As Like-Minded Believers And, Of Course, Upon Entering The Church Building For Whatever Reason ... And For Sure, For Service! Now Tell Me I Lie! I Dare You! 

Bro. Brinks, Please Correct ...!  

... Bro. Brinks, Surely You're Not ...! 

... Bro. Brinks, You Need To ...! 

... Don't You All Dare "Bro. Brinks!" Me! Do You Actually Believe That Macy Is Only Speaking To You And Not To Me As Well! 

Say It Ain't So, Bro. Brinks! 

I'm Saying It Is So, Sadie ... And The Rest Of You! We Can No Longer Do Our Ostrich Routines On This Matter Because There Will Be No Own-Clothes Christians In Heaven! 

We Must, Let Me Repeat, We Must Accept, Permit, Allow, The Lord Jesus Christ To Be Our All-Facets All-Day Everything God Of All Grace If We Desire To Have A Seat At His Table In Glory! THAT Is Non-Negotiable! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Not To Be Stored In A Nine-Compartment Box With The Compartments To Be Pulled Out As. And. Or. When We "Feel" Like It ...! 

... Yeah! Feelings Get People Prejudicially Corpsified! 

Very True, Deena! 

Dear Ones, What Macy Said, What I Am Saying, Is Not To Make Us Feel Badly About Ourselves! 

These Things Are Said To Cause Us To Know, Remember, Never Forget, Always Embrace First, Last, Always, The Truth, The Presence, The Love That Is, Who Is, Our Blessed-Forever Lord Jesus! 

Let Us Pray ... 

Lord Jesus, Please Forgive Our Foolish Ways! Help Us Never To Forget Gethsemane! Help Us To Wisely Walk Into And Stay Within Your Forever Fold Of Safety! 

Help Me, Help Us To Let You Lead Us, Feed Us, Teach Us, Correct Us, Protect Us, Direct Us, Counsel Us ... Shelter Us! 

Be Our Glory, Our Crown, Our Lord, Our God, Our King! Fit Us On Earth! Dress Us For Heaven! 

Use Us On Earth For Your Glory! And May The Day Never Come Where Anyone Present Here Will Hear The Dread Words: "Refused For Heaven!" Or More Properly "Depart From Me! I Never Knew You!" 

Lord, Save Us! Wash Us In Your Blood Which You Spilled That We May Live Right And Forever! Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Lord, Help Us To Let You Make Our Minds, Our Hearts, Your Home By The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Who Will Lead Us Into All Truth! 

Please, Lord, Watch Over Us, And Help Us To Keep Your Unfailing Holy Faith While We Are Absent One From Another! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Satan Is A Teacher, Too!?!

 

... Humans Learn More From Trouble! You're Not Going To Like What I'm About To Say, But Nevertheless, I'm Still Going To Say It: I Have Learned, I Have Been Taught, Some Unintended And Valuable Lessons ... By Satan! 

Shut Your Mouth, Elowen! 

Why, Cloveen!?! For Speaking The Truth!?! Don't You Know That Even Liars Must Tell The Truth At Some Point In Time!?! Don't You Know That Even Those Who Would Destroy You Teach You Great Lessons ... If You Are Willing To Learn Them!?! 

So What Are These "Great" Lessons And "Truths" That The Piercing Serpent, The Roaring Lion, The Lord Of Dung, The Adversary Of Souls Has Taught You, Elowen!?! 

I'm Glad You Asked, Shari! The Lord's Enemy, Our Enemy, The Adversary Of Our Purchased Souls, Satan The Damned, Has Plainly, Efficiently, And Effectively Taught Me That Covetousness, Envy, Greed, Deceit, Lying, Malice, Narcissism, Obsession, And Self-Worship, Self-Absorption, Have No Place In The Life Of An Ambassador, A Soldier, For Christ! 

He Has Also Taught Me About Keeping My Eye On The Prize, On "Playing" The Long Game, On Devotion To Duty, On Commitment To The Cause That I Wholeheartedly Believe In! 

You Can't Be Serious, Elowen! 

Yes, I Am, Caprice! That Wretch Satan Has Unintentionally, I Am Sure, Taught Me That No Matter The Setbacks, No Matter The Failures, I Must Press On To My Goal With Single-Minded Focus! 

I Am Not Hearing This, Elowen! 

You Better Listen, Caprice! Let Me Ask You This, Then: Isn't It Possible To Learn Something Positive And Preserving From A Negative And Destructive Element And Occurrence!?! 

Of Course, We Can! 

So Why Can't We Learn From Satan's Antics!?! 

Ah, Umm, Well ... It Is ... Well ...! ... How Deep!?! 

Friends, The Lord Said That With Getting Wisdom, We Should Also Get Understanding! Understanding Demands That We Learn Two Great Truths: 

First, That What The Lord Means For Good And For Our Salvation, Satan Will Pervert For Evil And For Our Destruction! 

Secondly, The Lord Plainly Teaches Us What To Do For Abundant Life, Good Health, And Spiritual Elevation, While Satan Teaches Us ... Under Camouflage ... How To Destroy Ourselves With Our Own Thoughts, Words, And Deeds Via Self-Glorification, And Self-Aggrandizement! 

Through Truth, The Lord Teaches Us How To Get Into The Living Kingdom! 

Via Deceit, Satan Teaches Us How To Be Excluded From The Glorious Kingdom: He Is The Exemplar For Those Who Choose To Reject Christ's Free To All Salvation! 

But, Most Importantly, The Best Lesson That Satan Has Taught Me Is That The Word Of The Living God Is True, And To Stick To, To Stand Up For, To Choose To Be Sanctified By The Savior, And To Faithfully Wait With Patient Endurance To Be Sealed At The Appointed Hour By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth, And To Not Create My Own "Heaven" By Known Feigned Aka False Wisdom! 

Sin Slays! 

Salvation Serves And Seals, And By These I Know That I Cannot Lose With Our Lord Jesus! 

Elowen, Dear Heart, I Like How Your Mind Works: You Just Taught Me A Thing! Bless The Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: A Life "Blessed" With No Stress!?!

 

Come, My Precious Ones! Come! 

Uh, Oh, Paredo!

Uh, Hmm, Joe! 

What Do You Think, Fanci!?! Philosophy Or Society!?! 

Neither One! Sis. Bringone Has Been Muttering About Somebody Called Grace And Kissing And Falling Down In The Street And "Them," Whoever They Are, Not Loving Truth! 

Are You Sure About That, Fanci!?! That Surely Sounds Like Gossip And You Well Know That Sis. Bringone Does Not Indulge Gossip Nor Embrace Gossipers! 

Yes, Both Times, Paredo And Joe, But ...! 

Blessings, Beloved! The Lord Is Good To Us, But We Are Not Good To Ourselves Or Each Other! Stop Saying That You're Too Blessed To Be Stressed! 

SIS. BRINGONE!!! That's Practically Heresy! With All Due Respect, Bite Your Tongue! 

Sorry, Cephas, No Can Do! I Have Need Of It Since We Are Going To Do A Bible Rear-View! We Are Going Into The Way-Back Machine! 

Let's Talk Creation! 

Theme: No Stress!?!

Earth: Formless, Void, Darkness Abounded! 

Then Came: Shape, Fill, Light! Who, How!?! 

Clay And Air: Adam! 

Why, How!?! 

A Rib: Eve! 

When, Why, How!?! 

Tower By Nimrod: Language Explosion! 

Where, Why, How!?! 

Noah: 120-Year Sermon And A Cruise Liner/Ark! 

Why, How, What For!?! 

Moses: Split Sea, Dry Ground, Dry Shod Feet! 

You Know The Drill!

What We Have Here, People, Is It A Conundrum, An Enigma, A Mystery OR ...!?! 

Sis. Bringone, What We Have Here Is Commonsense Compliments Of The Only Wise God! Pressure Aka A Stressor, Was Applied And The Promise, A Present, A Presence Was Supplied! What Was, What Is, Shall Be Until The Lord Comes For Us Who Work Out Our Own Salvation With Godly Fear And Trembling! 

Well Said, Alma! 

To Close This "No Stress, Too Blessed To Be Stressed" Nonsense Down For Good, Look Upon Our Lord Jesus In The Garden Of Gethsemane Praying To His Father ...! 

... And Sweating Great Drops Of Blood ... For Us! 

Yes, Royal, For Us! Wasn't That Stress!?! 

Yes, Sis. Bringone! 

Dear Ones, Please Stop Subscribing To And Sponsoring The Nebulous Aka Hazy, Vague, Confused Popular Religion! It Is All Fronts: No Foundation Stone, No Backbone, No Capstone! 

Now, To Beautify Our Precious Time Together, I Ask You To Think Of Those Drops Of Jesus' Blood: What Caused Them, Where They Led, What They Cost Him, What They Purchased, And What We Have Been Gifted And Blessed With As A Result! 

I Have Six Words: 

Six Is The Number For Man! 

The Six Words Point To Word Seven: 

Seven Is God's Number, The Number Of Perfection! 

Six Can Get To Seven Who, For Us, Will Never Be Late! 

Enjoy Your Life In Love With Your Gift Of Access To The Throne Of Grace Even Though Truth Was  Cast Down To The Ground As Stated In Daniel Chapter 8 Verse 12! 

Jesus Christ, God, Gives Us Life, Light, And Is Our Only Peace In This Vale Of Tears! He Has Sent His Holy Spirit To Be With Us Forever To Be Our Comfort, Our Comforter! 

The Holy Spirit, God, With Our Free-Will Cooperation And Desire To Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty Through Our Freedom To Choose Our Own Way To Live, Imbues Us With His Power To Live Lives Of Purity! 

Beloved, Be Wise! You Don't Need Light, Comfort, Peace, And Power, To Live In Purity If There Is NO Stress To Do And Be Otherwise! 

Sis. Bringone, I, For One, Am Glad That Righteousness And Peace Kissed Each Other! Without Them, The Comforter Would Not Have Come To Lead Us Into All Truth! 

I Told You, Fanci! Sis. Bringone Does Not Do Gossip! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

Suddenly, I Feel Great! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Jesus Christ Is Mine!?!

"Mine, Mine, Mine, Jesus Is Mine!"

     "Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine!"

           "I Am His, And He Is Mine!"

"I Nothing Lack When I Am His

And He Is Mine Forever!"

      "I Know Thou Art Mine!"

These Are Just A Few Phrases Out Of Hymns 

Which Tell Us An Incontrovertible Aka Undeniable Truth 

Which Our Brethren-Past Left For Us 

As Comfort, War-Cry, Shield, Walking-Stick

Boosts, Banners, And Way-Markers! 

Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Is Not Lost

Missing In Action, Unreachable

Unknowable, Untouchable, Nor Unavailable! 

Jesus Is Yours! 

Jesus Is Mine! 

Jesus Is Ours! 

Have You Considered What It Means That 

Our Father Has Given His Only Son, Jesus

To Be Ours, Yours, Mine ... Forever!?! 

Jesus Christ, The Righteous, The Creator Of All Things

The Savior, The Redeemer

The Forever Friend ... God With Us

Belongs To Each One Of Us And All Of Us

Individually, Personally, Intimately

For Now ... And For Eternity 

If That Is Our Hopeful Heart's Desire! 

Consider That We May Ask Of Him

- In The Faith Of Belief That Comes Of Grace -

A $1,000,000 

Or A Leaf From The Tree Of Life That Perpetuates Life! 

You Have Him In Your Heart 

Who Has The World In His Hands 

While He Has You As The Apple Of His Eye! 

Why, Then, Would You Go Sipping Deada 

From The Hog-Troughs Of This Transient 

Aka Passing-Away Life!?! 

Are You, Am I, So Blinded By Things That We Can't See Truth!?! 

The Biggest Liar, The Biggest Loser In This Life 

Is The Person Who Refuses To Accept The "S" 

Aka The Sure Salvation, Full And Free 

And 

Free To All Who ... Freely Choose To Accept 

The Glorious Gift Bought, Paid For, Unwrapped

Delivered ... Ready To Be Used! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 

It Is Good To Be Simple 

And 

It Is Good To Be Free In Jesus ... Who, Alone, Saves! 

Beloved, 

All That Jesus Has Is Yours! 

Heaven Is His Throne 

And 

Earth Is His Footstool! 

His Foot Is On His Footstool: 

Do The Math! 

You Are Nowhere Else But There/Here: 

Touch A Toe! 

The Holy Spirit Is He By Whom We Are Sealed 

Against The Day Of God's Vengeance: 

He Leads Us Into All Truth: 

He Is Our Teacher!

They Are Our Guardians! 

The Storehouses Of Heaven 

Are Full To Overflowing With Every Good And Perfect Gift 

From The Giving, Gracious, Glorious God Who Never Changes! 

We, Mortal Man

Lying, Cheating, Stealing Man

Hold The Inside Track To The King Of Kings: 

Don't Squander Your Access! 

Use What Is Yours From Who Is Yours 

To Get You Where What Is Yours Is To Be Found! 

You're At His Feet: 

You're In The Room: 

Stay There! 

Raise Your Flag! 

Peace!
