AMAZING WORDS: Who Can You Turn On!?!

Words Are Amazing! 

Look At This ...

Who Can You Turn On!?! 

This Sentence Has Multiple Meanings 

And

Depending On Context, Occasion, Or Association

We Will Know How To Behave! 

Let's Set Aside The Sensual 

And 

Look At The Anger Caused By Betrayal! 

What Is Your Response When You Feel Betrayed!?! 

Is Your Response Christian Or Criminal!?! 

Moving Along Briskly, Please Consider 

Who Can You Turn On ... To The Lord Jesus, Our Savior And King!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Have You Considered That The Lord God Almighty

In The Person Of Our Blessed Jesus Christ 

Is 

Worthy Of Our Excited Proclamation Of His Goodness And Grace 

Because 

He ... Being Love And Light

Only Ever Commands Us To Do What Is Right 

And

Always Ever Makes Promises To Us Of What Is True!?! 

Do You Know That Doubting And Distrusting The Lord 

Is 

Unbelief And Disobedience!?! 

Since The Lord Is True ... And The Truth

And 

His Word Is The Truth

Our Having The Double-Mindedness Of The Doubter 

Who Is Unstable In All His Ways 

Is 

Causing Us To Tread On Dangerous Ground 

And

We Are Become As Satan

As Adversaries Of The Living Holy God

As Betrayers Of Truth And Righteousness! 

In This View, We Are As Deceitful Bows

Which Look Right And Pull Left! 

Words Are Amazingly Powerful! 

How Are You Using Your Words!?! 

Who Benefits When Your Mouth Opens And A Story Jumps Out!?! 

Words Work And Words War! 

Please War Against Sin 

And 

Work As An Ambassador For Christ Today! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: The Year Is New And God's Word Remains True!

Father! 

My God In Heaven!

Holy Is Your Name! 

I Sincerely Beseech You To Help Me To Remain Faithful 

So That You Will Always Be Father To, And Holy For, Me! 

May You Thus Be For All Who Are Committed 

To The Cause Of Jesus Christ! 

I Have No Known Reason To Doubt You Or Your Word 

And By Your Saving Grace, I Plead, Lord, That 

The Day Will Never Come 

When I Know Who For, What With, Where, Which Way

And When I Will Choose To Betray My Savior For Comfort And Cash 

Which Are Mere Illusions 

In The Eternal Scheme Of Things! 

It Is My Soul's Desire To: 

H ave A Regular Talk With My Jesus

A ppreciate That I Am Truly Blessed

P ray For Friends And Enemies

P ut My Spiritual House In Order

Y ield Not To Temptation

N ever Depart From The Savior's Side 

E ncourage Others On Their Journey To Joy

W atch, Work, And Wait For The Great Day

Y ield My Will To My Savior

E ndure All Things For My Lord

A llow The Holy Spirit To Work

R ejoice That The Lord Christ Is The King! 

In The Name That Is Above All Names

The Only Name By Which We Are Saved

I Pray For The Brethren The World Around 

Who Are Seeking For, And Coming To, Faith That 

Their Heart's Desire Will Be Met 

While It Is Yet Day! 

Remind Us That Our Happiness

Is Only Found In The Lord Jesus Christ

And Bless Us To Find Our Contentment In Him!

Please Protect, Provide For, Correct

And Direct Us All Who Are Willing 

On The Narrow Way Home! 

Remember Us All In Your Great Mercy As Only You Are Able 

For We Love You More Than Life Itself! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Temptation And Self-Deception!

Being Tempted Is Not Sin! 

Yielding To Temptation 

Is 

Sin! 

Think Carefully About This Difference! 

How Hungry Are You For Fame And Fortune!?! 

Would You Stoop Down Low 

To Hurt Someone You Dearly Love 

To Acquire Money, Power, Privilege, And Prestige!?! 

Would You Go As Far As Judas Iscariot!?! 

Would You Be So Self-Deceived As To Believe That 

You Could Twist The All-Knowing, Eternal, God's Hands 

To "Make" Him Do What You Want 

So That You Would Have 

Your Deceitful Heart's Rotten Desires!?! 

Beloved, 

A Barking Bird Is Not A Dog 

And 

Raising Up Your Own God 

Bearing The Name Self Or Other

Does Not Make You The Creator God!

Power Trips Fail

For

Lack Of Power!

Be Warned ... 

Be Not As The Betrayer 

Who Sold Thick Gold To Buy Thin Silver!

 

Please Do Not ... Under Any Circumstance 

Become Filled With The Sense That 

Being Close To Your Creator Makes You His Surrogate

- His Stand-In -

To Do As You Please! 

Self-Deception

Is

An Aphrodisiac!

The Truth Is That 

Temptations Are Normal 

Aka Common To Man

And

We ... Mortal Beings 

Are Called To Walk The Lonesome Road 

By Grace, Through Faith! 

We Are Not Alone! 

We Are Not Called 

To Build Castles In The Sand! 

We Are Called 

To Get Ourselves To The Rock Of Our Salvation

To Him Who Is The Way Home

The Truth That Points, Guides And Delivers Us Home

The Light That Clearly Shows The Path Of Righteousness

Our Shelter In The Times Of Storm! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Riches Rot! 

Power Poisons! 

Prestige Withers Away 

But

Jesus Christ Stands Eternal! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Do Not Confuse Living In A Rich House 

With Being In The Heavenly Home: 

Earth Is Not Heaven! 

Aggressively Guard Your Heart! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Stay On The Upward Way!

Peace! 

Live

For

Jesus Christ

Alone!

FRIENDS: Every Skin Teet' Ain't A Laugh!

When We Fully And FinallyCome To The Realization That 

Our Creator, Savior, And High Priest 

Is Also

Our Forever Faithful Friend

We Should Then Look Seriously At What We Call 

Our Personal Friendships 

To See How They Match Up To The Exemplar Aka Example! 

Is Our Friendship A Circle!?! 

Is It Giving!?! 

Is It Taking!?! 

Is It Going Sideways!?! 

Or Has It Already Acquired The Wings Of The Wind 

And 

Is No Longer Mutually Beneficial!?! 

Beloved, 

To Have A Friend We Must Make Ourselves Friendly 

And

Available For Friendship! 

General Moses 

And 

Father Abraham 

Were The Friends Of Our Almighty God: 

God Himself Said So! 

Jesus Christ, Our King Blessed Forever

Called His Disciples His Friends! 

Soon-To-Be-King David 

And 

Prince Jonathan, King Saul's Son  ... And Heir

Were, By Covenant, Forever Friends! 

Friendship 

Is 

Built On Love, Trust, Mutual Consideration

The Desire To Bless

The Willingness To Care

And

To Complete ... Not Compete

And

The Desire To Know 

And 

To Be Known

And

To Give 

And 

Not Just Take, Use, Abuse, And Deliberately Confuse! 

Oooh, Light-Bulb Moment ... 

Jesus Christ Had Judas Iscariot  ... The Traitor

The "Friend" Who Only Wanted Benefits

Close At His Right Hand! 

If The Lord Of Life Was Betrayed 

By His Bosom Friend Who Ate His Food

So Will We

Because

WeAre Following In Our Lord's Footsteps! 

Think, Dear Ones

And 

Ever Remember That 

A Cold Heart Cannot Form A Warm Friendship 

And

Let Your Bible, The Preserved And EternalWord Of God

Be Your Pattern 

And 

Your Guide! 

Every Skin Teet' Ain't A Laugh 

Aka Not Everybody That Shows You Their Teeth 

Is 

Your Friend: 

Pet Dogs Show Their Teeth 

And 

Bite The Loving Hands That Feed Them! 

Choose To Be Wise! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Banana: Slip The Split

Some Things In Life Are Easy!
Some Things In Life Are Hard
But
If You Stick To The Living Word
And
The Way Of Jesus Christ The Lord
You Will Never Accept Old Wicked Satan's 

Fancy Calling Card!

You ... Self-Willed

Indulging Waywardness

Wantonness
Loving Things Shiny And New

And
Making Life All About You
Is
The Way Of The Deceiver
The Father Of Lies
Who Has No Qualms About
Basting You In Honey
And
Dumping You In A Hornets' Nest
After Having Rolled You In Red Ants
And
Biting, Biting, Flies!

Satan Will Tempt You To Sin
And
Then To The Heavenly Father Turn You In!
Satan Will Feed You A Goodly Pinch Of Cheap Snuff
And
To Let Every Body Know What You're Doing
He'll Huff And He'll Puff
And
He'll Blow Your House Down
To The Ground
Where You're Rolling In Pain
In Shame
From Playing The Game Of Life
Lived For Self
Where He Held The Marked Deck
And
You ... Being Gullible
Didn't Realize 
Or Willfully Ignored The Fact That
You Were Going To Get Your Neck Bre'k
By A Boss Who Had Polished
The Bottom Of Your New And Costly
Walking The Wrong Way Shoes
And
Caused You To Walk 
On Slippery-Skinned Banana Peels
As He Watches You Do The Dance Of Death
On The Way To Hell And Damnation
The Unrepentant Sinner And Satan's Known Portion!

It Does Not Have To Be This Way!
Jesus Christ Already Paid For All Your Sins
And
He Has Given You Carte Blanche:

Accept My Sacrifice For You!

Take My Hand!

Believe Me!

Trust Me!

Worship Me, And Obey

And
At The Appointed Time

Live With Me Forever

Where There Is No End To Day!

Deny The Liar, Satan
Invite Into Your Life
The Abiding Holy Spirit

And

Willingly

Come Follow After Me!

There Is No Need For You

For Your Own Sin To Have To Pay!
Bless Me With Your Love
And
Willing Service
And
Live With Me
Where The Glory Cannot Fade!

Brethren, 

All Things May Be By Worldly Standards

Legal, Lawful, Acceptable, Profitable

But

That Does Not Mean

- In The Sight Of The Lord -

That They're Good Or Right 

So, Do Your Self a Favor

And

Do Not Under Worldly Wisdom Labor

But

Seek, Instead

To Make Yourself ... To The Living God, Eternal

Something Of A Sweet Savor!

If The Word Of The Living God Says: "No Go!"

With The Worldly Flow, Don't Go!

Don't Go With The Popular

The Convenient

Because

At The End Of The Day

At The End Of Your Life

When Your Probation Is Ended

And

You Then Have To ... At The Resurrection

Face The King Who Gave You Life

The World Will Not Be Present

To Share In Your Reward

Because

The World And Its Adherents

Will Be Facing The Same King

The Same Judge

The Almighty God!

Know The Right ...

You Are A Kingdom Of One

When It Comes To Your Living The Godly

Or The Ungodly Life!

What You Do Determines Where You Go

So, Again

Do Your Self A Favor

And

The Things ... The Shiny, Pretty

Burnable, Can't Carry Them With You, Things

Out Of Your Grabby Hands Let Go!

The Lord Has Promised Us A Forever Home!

He Has Promised Rest And Peace!

He Has Promised Grace And Mercy

And

From Living In Sin

Sweet, Sweet, Relief!

Trust The Lord Who Made You

And

Ignore That One, Satan, Who Shall Surely Betray You!

Jesus Christ

Saves The Willing

And

Truly Repentant Sinner

To The Uttermost!

UNCLEAN SPIRITS: Gossip

Covert Insinuation
AND
Sly Innuendo
Married Into The Family
AND
Boy, Oh, Boy
White On Rice Would Be
The Right Expression
That Best Describes
How They Fit
Into
Among
Alongside
AND
With
The Gossip Family!
All Of That "Fitting"
Is A Bit Of Overkill
BUT
I Do Not Overstate Their Positions!

Now ...

When Those Gossips Wanted To Do
A Real Hatchet Job
On Whomever They Decided Was 
Worthy
Worthwhile
OR
Deserving
Sly Innuendo
AND
Covert Insinuation
Did Front-Man Work!

AND ...

Insult Added To Injury
- Lord, Help Us All -
They Always Carried Along
Their Besotted Wives
Whissie-Whissie aka Whisper
AND
Re-Re aka Repeat
For
The Red Car Joy Ride!

But, Bosie, Why The Red Car?!

Red Car Is Synonymous For A Hot Rod!
There Is Power In The Tongue!
AND
The Tongue Is A Red Rag That Roasts!
AND
It Is A Rudderless Rope!
It Behaves Like A Pop Kite
That Has A Gust Of Wind
Upon Which
To Effortlessly Float!

I Should Explain That
This Whole Clan Has
Unclean Heart For A Patriarch
AND
If You Ever Wanted To See
Or Get Close Enough To Smmmell
An Evil Spirit
Look No Further!
That Creature Is Truly Vile
AND
Takes Pleasure In
Performing
Practicing
Perpetrating
AND
Pointedly Proposing
Acts Of Unrighteousness!

Strange Thing Though
He Is Cute ... In Repose!

In Ordinary Conversation
You Will Never Hear
A More Mellifluous Tone!

In Acts Of Betrayal
You Will Never Hear
A More Incredulous Tone!

In Murder By Mouth
Aka
Good Gossip
You Will Never Hear
A More Confidential Tone

AND

After The Dirty Deed Is Done
You Will Never Hear
A More Gloating
Self-Satisfied
Self-Absorbed
Serious Voice
Even If You Lived To Be 970 Years!

Ahem!
Why 970 years?

... Because That Would Make You Older Than
Methusaleh
- The Oldest Man Who Ever Died -
AND
Younger Than Enoch
- The Oldest Man Who Never Died!

Wait A Minute!
Wait A Cotton-Picking Minute!!
Do You Realize That
No Man Has Ever Lived A Full Year
Upon The Earth?!

You Lost Me!

What On Earth ...?!

Think, People!
God Says
A Thousand Years ...

Are But A Day
In His Sight!!!

Yes!

But, Back To
Sly
Unclean And Covert!

That Bunch Of Unclean Spirits
Does Not Believe In
Sacred Cows
Boundaries
Authority
Decency
Nor The Lord's Anointings!

By The Way
Do You Remember How 
Sis. Emptage Used To Call Out
To All The Young People?

"YOU ARE AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT!?"

They Know Not Shame
BUT
They Cause Great Shame
To Fall
Upon Even ... The Innocent!

They Work For Satan
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Indulging The Malicious Spirit
On Which
Gossip's Boat
Does Float!

So ...

How Does One Combat This Evil?!

You Need To Know That
The Gossips
- Those Gossipers -
ALWAYS
Operate In The Dark!
They Will Never Spread Their Offal
In Public View
Where Their Manifest Deeds
Can Be Plainly
Clearly Seen
AND
Openly Rebuked
By Me
And By You!

Their Words Are Always Prefixed By
"They Say ...!"
AND
"I Have Heard ...!"
AND
They Indulge The
Bring A Bone
AND
Carry A Bone Syndrome!
So Don't Think That
YOU
- Indulging Them -
Will Get Off Scotch Free!

Gossip
Is As Poison!
Bitter! Silent! Deadly!
So ...
If You Call Yourself
A Child Of God
Foreswear Gossip
For
It's An Abomination
In The Sight Of The Holy God
AND
All Who Indulge In It
Will Reap
The Same "Sweets"
As The Feisty Fraud!

But ...

What About Whissie-Whissie And Re-Re?!

Those Two Are
Unclean Heart's Favorite Children
AND
Should Be Denied Indulgence
At. All. Costs.

The Bottom Line Is Simple:

• Do Not Start Gossip
• Do Not Indulge Sly Innuendo
• Do Not Drink In Covert Insinuation
• Do Not Quietly Whisper The Gossip Birdie As A Heads-up aka Warning

AND

• Do Not Repeat Gossip For Lack Of Better Conversation!

Jesus Suffered At Gossip's Hand
AND
His People, Too
Will Feel
That Spiteful Barb Land!

Do Unto Others
As You Would Want Them
To Do Unto You
AND
So Living
You Will Never Wear
A Gossiper's Hard-Tip Shoes!

Against Jesus Christ's Meek And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law!
AND
Living In The Light Of God's Law
We Shall Display No Flaw!

If You Walk In Wise Counsel
You Will Soar Among The Stars!
If You Wallow In Worthlessness
You Will Know There Is No Curse Causeless!

You Are What You Eat!
You Are Responsible For What You Speak!
AND
You Are Guilty Of The Bile You Leak!

The Difference

Between

Bile And Bible

Is The Width Of The Missing Bee

Which Buzzes With 

The Truth Of Almighty God

Which Is Pure

AND

Holy!

*********

Walk In Truth

AND

Live In Light

For

Cometh The Night

Through Which

We Must Fight!
