VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: There Is No Hope Without ...!?!

PRAYER:

There Is No Me, No Help, No Hope, No Healing, And No Heaven Without You, My Lord, And So I Yield My Will And My Way To Your Guidance! 

Thank You For Your Loving Kindness, Your Grace, Your Gifts Of Love Showered Mightily Upon Me This Day, Moment By Moment! 

Thank You For Your Love To Me Which Saw You Loving Me Unto Death And Back, And On Up To Highest Heaven, And Into The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary Where You Are Interceding For Me, And My Kind! 

Lord, I Accept Your Sacrifice For Me And, As Such, Your Gift Of New Life In You! 

I Am A Child: Lead Me Gently Safely Home! You Are My God, Holy, Living, Giving, Forgiving, True ... Faithful! 

Please Hold Me, Help Me, Heal Me, Teach Me, Feed Me, Use Me, And Lead Me Gently, Safely Home To Heaven At The Appointed Hour, Is My Heart's Earnest Plea! 

Thank You For Hearing And Answering My Prayers Of Faith, Because Without Your Constant Hearing And Answering, All Would Be Lost! 

Thank You For Not Throwing Away This Clay! 

Thank You For The Sure Promises, The Daily Provision, The Perfect Peace That Passes Human Understanding, And The Knowledge That My Impossibles Are Possible In Your Mighty Hand! 

Thank You For Helping Me Not To Lean On My Own Understanding But To Give It All To You, The God Who Was, Is, And Forever Will Be! 

I Give You Me, My Worship, And My Willing Praise! 

I Love You With All That I Am, For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That I Humbly Pray, And With A Lively Hope Plead! AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Guest Speaker

... And Our Guest Speaker Today ...! 

... What Guest Speaker!?! I Am The Speaker Today, Elder Plainer! 

Well, Pastor Prop, I Guess You Will Be Listening Like The Rest Of Us Today To A Much Needed Reality Check! 

The Most Quoted Book In The Bible Amongst The Brethren Here In This Congregation Is "Pastor Said!" 

According To Settled Knowledge And Belief, That Book Is Of Spurious Antecedents And Is Known To Elevate Another Jesus Upon A Prop Of Another Gospel! This Stops Today! 

Brethren, Our Speaker For This Moment Neither Needs Nor Desires An Introduction To Inflate His Head Or His Ego! Please Welcome Bro. Misfit Greedy Adopted! 

Happy Sabbath, Brethren! I'm Glad To Be With You! 

We Are A Peculiar People, So In The World, And In The Church, I'm A Misfit, A Square Peg-Round Hole Misfit Because I Choose To Accept And Believe That The Bible Is Christ's Complete Word To His People And Is Not To Be Touched-Up, Enhanced, Or Picked Apart By Anyone: Almighty God Is He Who Alone Is Wise, And All-Knowing, And As Such Makes No Mistakes! 

Secondly, I Am Called Greedy Because When I Finish Praying, I Always Say "Lord, Bless Again!" 

Shouldn't We As Believers Go After Our God Who Said, In Black And White, "Ask, And Ye Shall Receive!?!" 

This Same God, The True And Living God, Also Said, "Prove Me!" 

Shouldn't We Be Able To Say Or Write In Our Little Books, "He Did It Again! Thank You, Lord Jesus!?!

MUCH MURMURING IS HEARD! 

Thirdly, My Surname, Adopted, Makes Me Humble, My Heart Glad, And Keeps My Hope For Heaven High! 

Suddenly, A Voice Was Heard Saying: 

"I Am Adopted! I Am Happy, But I Am Still An Outsider! What Makes You, Well, Special!?!" 

I'm Glad You Asked! 

You Are Earthly Adopted On White Paper Covered In Black Ink, Sealed By The Earthly Judge Representing Fallen Man's Government, Which Gave You Into A Family Which Offered You Finite Love From A Flawed Heart! 

I Am Adopted Into The Family Of God! 

My Certificate Of Adoption Is The Scarred Flesh Of Our Lord Jesus! The Ink Is His Innocent Blood! 

I Have The Holy Spirit As My Comforter, Teacher, And Guide! 

I Have Personal Bodyguards Excelling In Strength! 

My Place Now Being Prepared Will Be In A Mansion In The Father's House In Glory Land Where Love, Peace, And Light Dwell! 

Do You Know What The Best Gift Is That I Shall Receive For One Called Adopted!?! 

No!!! Please Tell Us!!! 

Well, Brethren, Have You Ever Heard Of Any Adopted Child Being Like His Adopters!?! 

I Am Going To Be Like Jesus Because I Will See Him As He Is! 

I Here And Now Say With King David: 

"As For Me, I Will Behold Your Face In Righteousness! I Will Be Satisfied When I Awake With Your Likeness!" 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Dare To Boldly, Unapologetically Love And Stick To The Good Book ... As Written! 

An Opinionated, Abbreviated Rendering Of The Word Does Not Lead You To Christ, Who Is The Only One Who Is The Door, The Entrance, To The Father's House! 

Hallelujah!!! 

Praise The Lord!!! 

AMEN!!! 

Pastor Prop Hastily Left Through The Side Door! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Shepherd!

John 10:14 KJV 

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 

Glenda, Why Is Everyone Snickering At The New People!?! 

Wait Patiently, Oana, And All Will Be Revealed! 

A LITTLE BIT LATER ... 

Waaait! Did I Hear That Newbie Call Her ... Nahhhh ... Impossible!?! 

Nothing Is Wrong With Your Hearing, Oana! 

Lord, Make Peace! 

He Will, Dear Lady, He Will! 

Attention, Everyone, Let's Begin! 

Today, We're Talking  About Sin, Rest, Destruction, Peace, Choices, Self, And Decision-Making! In Short, Brethren, We're Going To Discuss Life! Isn't It Beautiful!?! 

That's Easy For You To Say, Sis. Hepher! 

There Was A Moment Of Stunned Silence, And Then The Class Started To Howl With Laughter! 

The Teacher's Face Didn't Even Wrinkle! 

When Order Had Been Restored And The Students Had Calmed Down, With A Perfectly Straight Face The Teacher Said: 

This Is What Happens When You Don't See The Whole Picture, Know The Whole Story, And Don't Know The Real Name, Full Name, Blessed Name Of Your Lord, God, Teacher, Leader, Feeder, Sustainer, Savior, Guide, Redeemer, And Forever Friend, The Final Judge Of All Mankind! 

When You Don't See The Whole Picture, You Don't Know That There's Something Vitally Important Missing, And You Denigrate The Name, That Glorious Name, Of Him Who Alone Saves! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Shepherd, The Good Shepherd ... And Shepherd Is My Name! I Lead You In His Name! 

Now, Because The Name Of The Shepherd Is Not Totally Visible, You, Me, We Live Life As We Please, Forgetting The One Above, He Whose Name Is The Name Above All Names! 

We Do Not See That Living Life Without Jesus Christ The Shepherd Leaves Us Living In Sin Which Leads Us To Sure Destruction! 

There Is No Peace And, Therefore, No Rest! 

Our Choices Are Made For Self ... Self-Satisfaction, Self-Aggrandizement, Self-Service! And, No Mistake ... Those Poor Choices Lead To Poorer Actions Which Lead To Self-Deceived Self-Wrought Self-Destruction! 

Making This Personal, The Mentality Called "Do-You!" Did You In, And You Are Done And Dusted! But ...! 

... I Know This One, Sis. Shepherd! 

Go Ahead, Homer! 

The Good Shepherd Does Not Leave Any Of His Sheep In The Wilderness Of Sin For The Roaring Lion To Devour! 

His Sheep Know His Voice And, When He Calls Their Name, They Answer Him Even With What They Consider To Be Their Last Breath! 

If They're Too Weak To Walk, He Will Carry Them To His Known Green Pastures Beside Still Waters! 

The Good Shepherd, By His Sweet Spirit Known Holy, Restores Their Soul As In Puts Life, Real Life, True Life, The Holy Life, His Life, In Them Because He Is The Life-Giver! 

Thank You, Homer! 

Beloved, Do Not Disregard The Shepherd, Our Shepherd, Our Rest, Our Peace! 

Choose Not To Be Lost And Lonely And Filled With Fear For Your Future! 

Choose Not To Be A Wondering, Wandering Star Seeking A Sun! 

Choose To Be A Child Of The Sun Of Righteousness Who Has Your Healing In His Wings! 

Choose To Be Safe In His Arms, And Sin Will Not Have Dominion Over You! 

There Is Character In A Name! Please, By Grace Through Faith, Let Your Name Have The Character Of Jesus Christ In It! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Eat The Whole Book!

God Is Love! 

Yes, And ...!?! 

Since God Is The Source And The Strength Of My Life, It Must Therefore Mean That Love Is The Source And The Strength Of My Life, And If I Don't Love, I Don't Know God And Have No Strength, And Thus, No Life! 

No God, No Life, No Love, No Light, And, Therefore, I Walk Boldly, Blindly, Falteringly, In Darkness! Deeeep Darkness! 

Darkness Is Synonymous With Death! So That Means That You, Me, We Walk In Death Now, And Into The Blackness Of Eternal Death Aka Eternal Separation From Eternal Life, Light, And Love, From The Way, From The Used-To-Be Open Door! 

Come On, Bro. Marquis! You Just Upped The Ante! You Always Do This! You Give Us Something To Work On, Or Work Out, And Then ... You Add On A Step Up To, Step Out From, Step Back From, Step Toward, Step Upon, Keep Step With, Or Step Away From! 

Yeahhh, That's True, Helena! He Always Wants More! 

You Could Really Keep Quiet And Indulge In A Hard Sit Down, Bittadis! You're Nothing But A Home Wrecker! 

You're Just Like Your Name! You Never Make Or Partake A Whole Meal To Get Its Full Benefits But Always Choose To Take A Bit Of This And A Bit Of That, And That Is Why You're Always Hungry, And Seldom Welcome At Anybody's Table Because You Say That People's Food Has No Taste, Lacks Depth, Has No Breadth, And Can't Bless A Bird Because It Ain't Bold! 

You Know, Kandle, When You Spell It Out Like That, You're Right About Bittadis, She Knows It, And You Missed A Spot! 

How So, Showitte!?! 

You Right, Bittadis Wrong, And We ... All ... Guilty! 

You Got Oil For That Squeaky Wheel!?! 

Sure, Do! Bible 101, 201, 301, 401, 501 ... And 1001: Eat The Whole Book! 

Stop Picking Rice! Stop Picking A Scripture From Here, A Scripture From There, Getting A Doctrine Here, A Doctrine There ...! ... Here A Moo, There A Moo, Everywhere A Moo Moo! Old Macdonald Had A Farm! 

Brethren, The Bible Ain't An Unkempt Farm With Puddles Of Wuhisdat, Broken Equipment Scattered, Workers Chewing The Fat Aka Doing Everything But Working, Different Animals Singing Their Ordained Song In A Bedlam Of Noise That Only Their Maker Can Decipher, The Bread Is Not Baked, The Field Not Turned, The Orchard Not Pruned, And The Purse To Let Aka The Farmer Broke ... And Drunk! 

Beloved, The Good Book Is Whole, Healthy, And Heavenly! It's A Treasure Store! 

Bittadis Is Right AND Wrong BECAUSE She's Always Doing The Butterfly, The Hummingbird ... But Without The Benefit Of Their Ingrained Knowledge! 

Our Beautiful Treasure Store Has An Inlaid Direction, An Instruction For All Who Believe On The Master, Our Maker! 

Isaiah 28:10 Speaks Truly! Line Upon Line, Here A Little, Precept Upon Precept! 

To One, It Is A Blessing! To Another, It's A Curse! 

For Those Who Love Our Lord - Just Like You Would Have In Times Past Play In A Jewelry Box Enjoying Running Your Hands Through Your Bits And Baubles - You Will Take Great Pleasure Running Your Fingers Through The Pages Of Holy Writ To Find The Pearl, The Coin, The Son, The Savior, The Door, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Refuge, Strength, The Oil, The Path, The Way, The Shepherd, The King, Peace, Power, Provision, Endurance, Temperance, The Balm, The Robe, The Light, Love, Life ...! 

Do I Need To Say More, Seymour!?! Sayless!?! Tuhdoo!?! Comma!?! 

Dear Ones, We Must Pull Ourselves Together So That We May Pour Ourselves Out In The, Our, Search For Our Goodies From Almighty God Known Glorious! 

Lord, Pity Us, And Have Mercy Upon Us As We Humbly Place Our Trust In You! Guide Our Minds, And Teach Us Manners That Matter In Our Pursuit Of Those Things, Those Treasures, Which Will See Us Cross The Separating Line Between Grace And Glory! Feed Us With This Good Food, And Bless Us To Eat Substantially, And Cry Out, Call Out, Reach Out, And Hold Out Our Plate For More! 

Thank You, Lord, For Providing, Protecting, And Pursuing Us: Help Us To Pursue You In The Word, By Thought, Our Good Words To Others, And Kindly Deeds To Bless Others, In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, We Pray, And As Beggars Willing To Be Fed, Plead! We Love You, Lord! Have Mercy, And Bless Us Again, And Again! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
