VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Casting Call!?!

KJV Isaiah 65:24
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Wide Broadway Had Long Time Past
Has Recently Been
And 
Is All Now Issuing A Call For Principal Players And Extras 
For Their Spectacular, Their Extravaganza
And 
The Turnout  Is Nothing Short Of A Blowout! 

Everybody Vertical And Ventilating With Visions Of Arriving Is There! 

I Was Tempted, Sorely Tempted
And 
Had At One Point In My Life Joined The Snaking Queue 
To Get My Equity Card! 

One Day, One Of My Bad Days, As I Was Still Waiting 
And 
Being Ensnared By The Stories Of Those Who Had Already Made It 
I Started To Zone Out With A Feeling Of Why Bother 
When I Reached The Cross-Road For Off-Broadway! 

It Was There That I Saw A Simply Dressed Soul 
And 
Heard His Soft Voice Calling 
For Those Who Desired To Be Kings And Priests To The Most High God
For Those Who Would Be Pillars In The House Of Almighty God
For Those Who Desired Peace And Rest For Their Weary Souls
And 
For Those Who Would Prefer To Be Door-Men In The House Of God 
Than To Dwell In The Tents Of Wickedness! 

He Wasn't Finished! 

He Went On To Make The Call 
For Those Who Were Weary And Troubled
For Those Who Desired To Be Saints Of God And Christ
For Those Who Would Sound The Battle Cry For Life
And 
For Those Who Would Be Part Of The Flock Of Sheep 
Who Would Safely Graze Under The Watchful Eye Of 
The Good Shepherd! 

There Was No Waiting
No Call-Backs
No Business Managers
No Publicists
No Vultures
No Casting Couches
No Brunches
No After-Parties
And 
Hallelujah, Jesus
No Users Or Abusers! 

I Walked To Him! 

That Man At The Entrance Of The Narrow Road Off Broadway 
Called Strait 
Smelled Clean
Embodied Light
Told Truth
And 
Gave Me Something Called Grace And Mercy 
From The Welcome Table Sponsored By Love 
Accompanied By The Comforter! 

I Walked Into Love
Cooperated With The Comforter
And 
Knew Peace Who Gave Me The Gift Called Faith 
And 
Promised Me A New Supply Every Day From That Day On 
And 
As Long As I Lived And Had My Being! 

I Was, I Am Amazed ... I Had To Tell You About It! 

Dear One, 

We All Have Great Expections 
But ... And
It Is A Rare Thing For Reality To Meet Expectations! 

I Have Come To Realize That 
I Do Not Desire To Be A Second Class
Even Last Class Citizen 
In The Liar's Third Rate Melodrama! 

I Choose To Have And Be With Peace 
Because 
He Is Love And Loves Me ... Sacrificially! 

The Liar Wants To Sacrifice Me 
But 
My Free-Will Decision Is Clear ... Is Made! 

I Choose My Lord Jesus And Him Glorified! 
Please Join Me! 
Peace!

LIVING BY FAITH: The Black Door!?!

Are Your, Christian, Brave Enough
To Walk Through The Black Door
With The Lord Christ!?!
Are You Willing To Face The Unknown
Knowing
That The Eternal God
Will Never Fool You
Or Utilize The Satanic Device!?!

Are You Willing To Commit Your Will
Your Walk
Your Way
Your Work
Into The Hand Of The Omniscient God
Knowing
That With Him In Charge
The Rugged Way You Will Have To Follow
Is 
The Way Not Sinful
Not Perverse!?!

Are You Self-Confident And Doubtful Of
The One Who Is The Truth
Or 
Are Confident And Trusting Enough
To Let Go Of Self
Confess Sin ... And Repent
And 
Let The Lord Christ Control
The Moments, The Minutes
The Hours, The Days
The Years Of The Life From Sin
Now Being Lived To Reverse The Curse!?!

The Blackness Of The Unknown
May Seem Fearful
But
It Shouldn't Be When Your Leader, Your Guide
Is
The Light Of The World
The Way To Salvation
The Truth For The Ages
And
The Only One Able
To Ensure That You To The Promised Land
Safely Get Home!

Bright And Broad Ways
Known Roads, Walkways And Pathways Plain
May Offer Comfort In The Familiar Scenes
But
Lead To Destruction
Compliments Of The One Familiar Liar!
That Ways Always Leads To Things Dire!

Trust The Lord!
Trust The Word!
Trust The Walk!
Trust The Way!
Trust The Love!
Trust The Power
And
Do Not Before The Unknown Cower
For He Who Made You
Also Made All Things
And
It Is He Who Is The King Of Everything!


If The Creator Cannot Carry You Safely
To Your Heavenly Destination
Rest Assured, Brethren
There Is No Destination To Be Arrived At!

The Facts Are Plain ...

The Lord Of Life Cannot Lie!
Trust Him At His Holy Word
And
The Lying Devil, Defy
And
Walk Safely ... Though Tried And Tested
And
In The Fullness Of Time ... Soul Perfected
You Will To Highest Heaven
Be Among The Faithful Ones Elected!

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation:
Take The Black Door
- The Way Unknown -
With The Eternal God
The Returning King
The Judge Of All Flesh
The Rewarder Of Every Man
The One Who For You Died
The Lord Jesus Christ!


Don't Be Fooled!
Don't Trust Your Carnal Eyesight!
Looks Are Deceiving:
The Black Door
Is Always Situated Across From
A Brightly, Gaily, Lit And Decorated Glass Door!


Live By Faith!

HAPPY SABBATH + Resting In The Love Of The Lord Christ! + PRAYER: It Is Our Desire To Bless You, Father!





He Is Dressed To The Nines
Yet Naked And Afraid!
Afraid And Alone
Alone ... In The Sights Of The Devil
Who Is Plotting 
And 
Instigating What Evil
To That Soul Can Be Done!
He's Having Fun And Then Some
In The Company Of The Popular 
The Illuminated 
The Rich And Connected Ones!

Look At Him ...

He Is Jumping At Shadows
Afraid Of And Loving The Dark
Angry At Disappointment
Lurching From Sorrow To Sorrow
Always Worried About Tomorrow
Yet Loving The Coarse And Bright Broadway
But
Disdaining The Way Straight And Narrow!

 Here's Someone Different ...

She Is Simply Clothed In Christ's Righteousness
A Repentant Sinner
Believing In The Word Of Truth
Bowing Humbly Before
And 
Importunately Praying
To The Heavenly Father
- In The Name Of The Son -
Unafraid To Live Her Life In Christ
And IsBy Circumstance Undeterred
Because
She Is Resting In The Love Of The Lord Jesus
Who Died ... A Curse
To Save Us All, Everyone!

Look At Her ...

Walking With Jesus
Refusing
To Ever Again Run Wild In Sin
Standing
On The Promises Of God
Knowing
That With Faithful Endurance
By Right
Heaven's Gate She Shall Enter In
Nevermore To Be Touched By Evil Surmising!
She's Faithful In Her Daily Striving!

Don't You Know ...

It Is Better To Be Pure, Poor And Humble
With Jesus Christ The Lord
Than To Be
Tainted, Rich And Proud With The Fraud

Because

Pure, Poor And Humble
Stays Pure
Becomes Rich
And
Is Elevated In Christ's Purity To Eternity

But

The Tainted, Rich And Proud
Stay Tainted
Become Irretrievably Poor
And
Their Pride 
Is 
Humbled Unto Destruction
Along With Their Instigator, Satan
Who Encouraged Them
The Lord Of Life
The Truth For All Ages
The King Of Love
The Light Of Life
To Egregiously Denigrate, Defy And Deny
BecauseOf Their Engrossing Love Of 
The Comfortable Lie!

Think About It ...

Two Lives
Two Thoughts
Two Characters
Two Masters
Two Distinctly Different Ways Of Life
One Judgment
Two Vastly Different Outcomes
Because
One Chooses 
By Belief, Faith 
And 
Practiced Obedience 
To Forever Live

And

The Other Chooses 
By Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Practiced Disobedience 
To Forever Die!

Brethren, Beloved

Upon Whom For Comfort Do You Rely!?!
Unto Whom In Your Need Do You Cry!?!
Do You Pay Homage 
To The Master Of The Winds And The Waves
OrDo You Cavort With The Master Of Disaster!?!

Are You Heeding The Broad Call To Self
Or
Will You Join Me
And
Heed The Narrow Call To Salvation
And
In Your Own Life
Reverse The Cause Of Man's Fall!?!

You Know The Whole Of The Story!
You Know Who It Is That Sacrificially Loves You!
You, Alone, Must Make For Everlasting Life 
The Decision
Because
Neither The Lord Christ
Nor The Damned Devil
Can Force Their Will Upon You!

FYI:
At The End Of The Conflict
Only The Tried Tested 
And 
True Saints Of Almighty God And Christ
Will Be Standing Tall
Glorified
Incorruptible
Immortalized!



PRAYER:

Father,
I Come To You
Because I Believe That
You Are The God Holy!
I See My Need For The Savior
So Help Me, Please
- As An Obedient Sheep -
At His Hand To Feed!

Lord,
I Repent Of My Known Sin!
Please Help Me Not To Sin Again!
Help Me Not To Turn Again To Fables
And
Bless Me To Walk As The Wise
And
Not Become A Part Of Satan's Stable!

Father,
I Pray For My Brethren
Those Near And Those Far
Those Who Are Among The Called-Out
Those Who Are Seeking
No More To Be Among
The Itchy-Earred Walk-Abouts!
Please Bless Them To Take Hold Of
The Holy Hand
That Is Reaching Out To Them
And
Bless Them To Ever Hear The Still Voice Of
The Loving Heart
Who, To Us
Desires To Draw Near!
Help Us To Respond With Godly Fear!

Please Grant Unto Us Daily Grace
Daily Faith
Strength For Our Journeying
And
Courage For The Way We Must Walk
And
Please Provide For Us
All That You Have Promised
For
We Love You
And
We Worship
And
It Is Our Desire To Bless You
Who Always Blesses Us
Without Our Having To Ask!

Please, Father
Remember Those Who Mourn
Those Who Anticipate A Mourning
The Childless
The Motherless And The Fatherless
The Poor And The Downtrodden
The Lost And The Lonely
The Demon-Possessed
The Demon-Oppressed
And
Those Who Have No Safe Place To Call Home
- Physically Or Spiritually -
And
Have Mercy On Those Who Do Not Yet Know
That The Lord Jesus Christ
- The Creator God
The Savior, The Redeemer
The Forever Friend -
For Their Personal, Public And Private Sin
Did Completely Atone!

Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions, Father
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
The Holy Jesus
Your Beloved And Only Begotten Son
Our Returning King!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN.
