VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH - The Comfort of The Pacifier + Prayer: Lord, Let Me

I had a pacifier
Thumb Left it was by name
He was the very best friend I had
And he was always ready for a game.

Our most favorite game was called Comfort
Oh, how often we indulged
We did not need to have an upset
All it took was a touch look smell of Love.

When Comfort was being savored
You would not image the bliss
For the taste was indescribable
Even without added starch, color, preservative or fill.

Well, Thumbie served me well when I was childlike
But as I grew I needed to play Comfort less and less
Until finally with age, I entered upon Grown Persons Stage
And Thumbie was placed on Put Away Childish Things Page.

Today, I no longer have a pacifier for Comfort
I have a Comfort called Jesus for Joy
And, oh, what challenges we've conquered and walked through
Oh, the petty things set aside all because of Joining Jesus for Joy!

The hardest by far were Savior Calling
Acknowledge Sin, Confession Is Good for the Riven Soul
Repenter's Baptism Is Glorious
And By Faith Saints Always Follow Through.

Today, Jesus woke me up and told showed me
The new journeys upon which we are embarked
He said Follow God, Spirit Lead
Satan's The Fraud, Deny Flesh, and Take a Stand
Were precursors to Final Not Fantasy, and Arrival in Beulah Land.

Jesus promised that hard though these journeys will be
With Him I shall overcome and be free
And will have Heaven's Rest for Eternity
Where, Love knows no bounds
The Grounds of Heaven will stun and astound
Taste will amaze
Light of God will there blaze
And Ecstasy will not be passing or a phase.

Dear Lord,

Help me not to preach 

Peace with a sword nor

Love with a fist nor

Hope with a heel nor 

Healing with hunger 

But

Instead, Lord

Let me 

Show and share Your Divine Light in the Darkness

and

Let me

Point the People to the safety of Your Ark

As I sing of Your Mercies as the Lark!

Oh, Lord, bless and keep me faithful by Your Grace

For I ask this in the name of Him who is Faithful

Jesus Christ, the King. 

I love You, Lord.

Amen

Afraid of Satan!?!

Why are you afraid of Satan?
He can do you no harm!
He knows that his time is finite
And his run against you seems to be working like a charm!?

Remember that our Master told us
About being fearful of those who cause bodily harm?
Well, Satan can cause damage to the body, but
Your soul has an Infinity Jesus Alarm!

So, when Satan and his minions are afflicting your body
Count it all to you great bliss
To suffer affliction of your body for King Jesus
Is one more thing that you can cross off
Of the Christian Accomplishment List!

Trust Jesus - His word never fails
Trust Jesus - His resolve never quails
Trust Jesus - His Blood bought your victory
Satan has lost - and is finished - and waiting for the ending details!

Tell Old Satan that he is flogging a dead horse
That ain’t never goin' run no more!
Tell him, thanks for the stripes - no offer of Godspeed
And bless our God for Peace, Joy and entry through Eternal Life's Door!

Letter Of Application: Father? Please Use Me!

God The. Almighty a/k/a Heavenly Father
The God Of All Graces

Great Unknown

Re: Please Use ME!

Heavenly Father,

I offer to You my Prayers, and Grateful Praise in Worship!

Please allow me - by Grace - to boldly tell You, Father, why You should use me, for I am a reformed sinner, and a former denizen of the towns of Disrespect, Dancing On Disgrace, Denial of Self Is For Dummies, and of Life's Comforts' hamlet called Do Nothing That Is Called Good!!

I have a myriad years of wide, and varied, experience in Sinning, and have Earned and Penitential Certificates in Repentance, Confession, and Do and Be Good.

I have Associates Personal Knowledge Degrees in Would Have, Could Have, Should Have and Didn't, and many upgrade  and continuing education training units in Regrets, Lack of Self-Respect, Out Of Control, Intemperance, Worldly Wisdom and Buy A Clue.

The Love of God now constrains me BUT I have Exciting Life Experience in Doing The Wrong Thing, Guilty Pleasures, and Do What I Will Even If It Leaves Me Feeling Like Road-Kill.

You should also know that I was an Adrenaline Junkie, and always high on Life!

I have expert Knowledge in If I Ain't Lying I'm Dying.

I have eaten Thorough Vice, and have carried on an affair with What Is Life Without Spice, and I'm a past-master in Willful Self and Self-Deceit.

I wrote that No. 1 Best-selling book on Telling Cockamamie Stories, and I have personal and lengthy practice in Love Life on The Line. And, Father, to be painfully honest, Go Along To Get Along was a dear and true buddy of mine!

So, Father, please, won't use me?

Let Me be Your Instrument!

Use Me to point my familiar friend to The Golden Way, where Folly, Fame, Fancy, Fantasy, and Fortune are not fillips, and Foundation Stones of Truth mark out the Straight Path to Salvation Way.

Please know that Compensation is not an issue for me because I would work for free but The Lord, Jesus Christ, paid all my costs, and daily paves my Way.

I can do it, Father!

Please? Won't You use me?!

P.S.: F.Y.I - Faith Gave Me My Victory!
P.P.S.: - Mercy and Grace Helped Me Overcome The World!

This World Has Fleas!

This world has fleas

Sin and disease

If I sit and play with it

You know I’ll sneeze 'n seize!

Sin has a price

It’s like a leech - and gives lice

And playing in its mud pit

Will fill me with vice!

Jesus can save

From sin - no more a slave

Put Him first - He’ll remove the curse

He can make a saint from a sow’s ear!

Jesus Christ has a device

It’s called Eternal Life

Forsake sin, and its children

Redeemed - He’ll put you on Solid Rock Ice!

Believe and Behave!

Believe and Behave

Bless God and don’t be a slave

To the world and its beckoning caves

Of sin where the soul decays!

Believe and Behave

Bless God and don’t be a slave

To the emotional highs and lows

That carry you to Satan through its flows!

Believe and Behave

Bless God and don’t be a slave

To neither money nor men

Nor carnality in the den and glen!

Please, Friend, believe that this life is ending

For your soul there’s contending

Satanic Forces are offending and

Jesus Saves is defending!

Stop and look and listen and STOP

To choose the right side - not the suicide

For there’s either Life with the Loved Glad

Or Loved Life with the Lost Sad!

A decision then must now be made

For even a “no decision” card is the decision played

And the wrong decision equals eternal death in spades

Eternal separation - no Life in Bright Glades!

Believe and know that Christ Jesus Saves!

Behave now as you have for so long prayed!

Pray, pray, and sing His praise in oh so glad song

And you will indeed Live Forever ... e’er long!

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath

Joshus 24:14-15 (KJV)

 14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Walking with the Lord Jesus Christ must be an act of the Will for we cannot inherit our walk with the Lord from our parents, nor can it be passed on to us by association, nor by associating with Christ-followers.

We must make the decision, out of the intellect, to, this very day, and each and every day hereafter, to walk in the Light of God's Love if we desire to be saved to Eternal Life.

We must come to the realization that we need to - every single day that we breathe - consciously make the decision to give over our will and our way, to the care and safekeeping of The Creator God who loved - and loves - us enough to have sent His Only Begotten Son to become sin for us, and to die on that shameful tree, so that we might have abundant life.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Jesus Christ stated that He had to be lifted up, as Moses' brazen serpent, so that by so doing, He would draw all men to Himself.

John 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

John 12:32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

It, therefore, must be understood, that as those who had been bitten in the desert by the vile serpent, because of sin, had to look upon the replica of the serpent to be healed, we, too, must look UP on the Crucified Jesus who became sin for us, and confess, and repent of our sin, so that we may be saved.

Jesus Christ is still calling, and drawing mankind to Himself. Won't you answer His call that you may be saved?

Look upon Jesus, sinless is He Author: Franklin E. Belden Look upon Jesus, sinless is He; Father, impute His life unto me. My life of scarlet, my sin and woe, Cover with His life, whiter than snow. Refrain Cover with His life, whiter than snow; Fullness of His life then shall I know; My life of scarlet, my sin and woe, Cover with His life, whiter than snow. Deep are the wounds transgression has made; Red are the stains; my soul is afraid. O to be covered, Jesus, with Thee, Safe from the law that now judgeth me!
