VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: New Life Is Up Ahead + PRAYER: Bless Me, Lord To Live...!

I Don't Want To Be A Lot's Wife!
I Don't Want To Be A Mrs. Job!
I Don't Want To Be A Sapphira
AND
I Don't Want To Be A Laodicean Bold!

Lot's Wife Looked Back
At The Perishables
Perishing
AND

Lost 

New Life Up Ahead!

Mrs. Job Doubted God's Favor
AND

Wanted Her Husband
The Giving God To Curse
So That God Would Strike Him Down Dead!

Sapphira
- With Her Husband -
Lied To The Holy Spirit
AND
Reached Their Life's Limit
And
Were Carried To Their Long Homes
Foot First!

There Was No Hearse!

Oh, Lord
Save Us From The Curse!

I Don't Want To Be Like
Murdering, Lying Cain
Man-Hunting, God-Not-Fearing Nimrod
Nor
Wilfully, Presumptuous

Killing-The-Innocent Saul
Nor
Joseph's 10 Brethren
Envious
Before They Sought
Life-Preserving Grain!

These Men Tried To Mimic Cain!

Nor Do I Desire To Be 

Jacob
- Living Cunning -
Before He Reached Beth-El
Nor Laban
Who Thought
He Could Curse Who God Blessed
Nor Nebuchadnezzar
Before God's Holy Name He Confessed!

I Desire To Be A Rahab
Who
- Though A Practicing, Willing, Sinner -
Heard The Word About Lord
AND

While Having No Personal Experience Of Said God
Believed The Tidings
AND

Sought The New Life Award!

I Desire To Be 

A Repentant David
A Self-Denying Moses
A Faithful Samuel
A Trusting Joshua
A Believing Nehemiah
A Good King Josiah
And
Not A Black-Hearted Jezebel
But
A Fired-Up-For-God Elijah
A Lamenting Jeremiah
AND
An Obedient-In-The-Face-Of-Real-Shame Hosea
Trusting God Ever
Over Self
AND

Walking With
Talking About
Leaning Upon
Loving Unreservedly
Looking Unweariedly
To Be With The Lord!

PRAYER:

Father,

Let Your Truth

In My Inward Parts

Be Visible In My Extremities!

Let Your Love In Me Bear Fruit

So That From Me

A Basket Of Blessings

To Others May

Will Go

Shouting The Glad News:

"Jesus Christ Saves!"

Working To Help Remove

Even The Most Gross Sinner

From

In

And

Around

Satan's Household

No More To Be A Chained Slave!

Lord,

I Trust You In My Little Strength - 

Help Me To Trust You In Yours

Always

And

Surely

In The Dark Days

Up Ahead

When Faith Is Tried

And

Woes Are Constant By My Side!

Help Me, Lord

 To Bless You

And

To Hold On To You

On Those Days When

Wilful Self Would Cause Wavering Faith

To Be Denied!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Be Driven And Tossed

As Wave Of The Sea

For, Truly

I Desire To Receive

Glorious Blessings Of Thee!

Help Me To Hold On To You

When Carnal Life

- Acting As Satan's Paid Agent -

Demands

That You Must Be

- By Needy Flesh -

Decried

Because You To Me

- About The Peaceful Life - 

Lied!

Help Me To Hold Firm The Blessed Hope

- Christ In Me My Hope Of Glory -

For Heaven's Glories Await

All

Who To The Lord Christ

Remain Faithful!

Lord, 

Help Me To Stay Prayed Up

Bound Up

And

Sealed Up

In Salvation's Protective Cloak

So That I Will Not Be Drawn Away

To Wear

Satan's Rainbow-Styled Yoke!

Lord,

I Pray With Passion

For The Counterfeiter's Days

To Come To Their Just End!

My Father,

I Give You

My Worship

Your Deserved Honor

And

My Faithful Praise

So

Please Bless Me To Live

In The True Light Of Heavenly Love

So That I Will Be Exalted To Inhabit

Eternity's Untimed

No Night

Unending Days

And

To Fix My Real Gaze

Upon My Savior's Beautiful Face!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name

I Plead For Blessings

Not Just For Myself

But Most Assuredly

For The Faithful Brethren!

AMEN.

Adam "Speaks!"

I am of The Human Race - Man
I am Created - Creature
I am Made of Dust - Dirty
I received God's Breath - Life
I communed with God - Worship
I received The Wife - Eve
I listened to God - Obedience
I worshiped God - Sabbath
I honored My Wife over God - Idolatry
I Ignored God's Law - Dishonor
I Sinned against My God - Disobedience
I Accused God of Giving Me Faulty Merchandise - Lying
I was Cursed by Almighty God - The Fall
I caused The Curse to Fall on Mankind - Separation from God
I must sweat - Work
I must cease to live - Die

But... God had Compassion

God sent His Only Son - Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ - Immanuel a/k/a God With Us
Jesus Christ is ...The Lamb
The Lamb is ... The Sacrifice
The Sacrifice ... Atones
Atonement came at ... The Cross
The Cross is a ... Bridge
The Bridge leads Me back to ... God
The Bridge is bathed in ... Blood
The Blood belongs to ... Immanuel
Immanuel's Blood ... Cleans
I repented of My Sin against The Eternal God for I desired to be ... Clean

I am The First Adam
I brought Death to All Mankind
Jesus Christ is The Second Adam
He brings Eternal Life to All Mankind by His Death
I brought Death to All Mankind by My Life
I accepted The Blood of The Sacrifice by Faith in God's Word

And

I Am Forgiven

And

I shall see My King!

My Children ...

Take heed to The Law of The Lord!
When God Speaks - Listen!
When you Listen - Hear!
When you Hear - Obey!

Disobedience - to God - is as Witchcraft!
Witchcraft - to God - is an Abomination!
Abominations - to God - are Destroyed.

Please do not walk right in your own eyes!
Your eyes are Blind!

Please do not present yourselves before God as did my first son, Cain!
Cain Disrespected and Disobeyed God, and his Person and Sacrifice were Denied by God!

His Disobedience led to Jealousy which led to Hatred which led to Murder which resulted in the Death of My Beloved Son, Abel.

The Innocent Died at The Hand of The Guilty, Unrepentant Sinner.

Please Remember my son, Abel, who typified The Coming Redeemer, Bridge, Sacrifice, Atonement, Savior!

Abel honored God in his Person - his Obedience -  and in his Offering of Sacrifice for Sin AND both He and His Sacrifice were found Acceptable, and were Accepted by God!

Abel did not Offer his own Righteousness to God.
Abel followed God's Prescription, and was made "Whole!"

My Children, Honor God in Your Person and in Your Practice!
Please God with the Produce of Your Prayers and Praise!
Worship God with a Beautiful Spirit, and in Holiness!

Children, You Are Not Your Own!
Redeem Your Time - Walk Worthy of Your High Calling!
God Gives to You Your Times!
Do as God Says!

Our God is Just!
Our God is Faithful!
Our God is Fair!
Our God has No Favorites!
Do Good and Good Will Attend You!

Seek God's Help in Mending All Your Evil Ways, and
Remember that Sin Always Costs for
Sin's Account Is Overdrawn and
It's Debt Can Never Be Repaid!

Give Heed To My Words!
I know of what I speak for
I, to Sin, Strayed and
I Disobeyed and, since Forever, Mankind Pays.

I Beseech You, Children

Obey Almighty God!

Redemption Song

Redemption Song

a lie was told

godhood the goal

no death know good from evil

Eve ate the fruit

Adam shared the loot

we're naked but oh, how we feel the knowledge!

garments once bright

lost that great light

excommunion … leave thou Eden's Garden!

thistle and thorn

raise wheat and corn

sacrifice a lamb so you have modest clothing

childbirth in pain

first son named Cain

tilled he the land his sacrifice was not accepted

Abel was type

always did right

sacrificed to God a lamb as was instructed

anger in Cain

killed Abel great shame

vagabond marked no one can ever kill him

so now you see

problems for you for me

original sin we need a savior

third child arrives

Seth by name survives

The Savior comes right down through his lineage

one glorious night

Bethlehem was starry bright

appeared Prince Immanuel the Light of the world

age 30 baptised

age 33 crucified

He'd preached salvation for you and for me

Christ died He arose

He's alive all is disclosed

Coming again for His children living in the Light

keep hope alive

live right and strive

for God's Kingdom coming and a home by and by

pray to the Lord

stay in His Word

He's coming soon He's even at the door

amen amen

amen again

His Kingdom come again and again AMEN **BJC**
