VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Recyclers!

KJV Jeremiah 2:19

19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Sighhh .... 

It Never Seems To End! 

We Backslide From Following The Saving Truth 

And 

Soon We Find Ourselves To Be The Official Recipients Of Chastisement! 

Oh, The Pain! 

With Truly Sorrowing Hearts

We Willingly Confess Our Folly

Our Sins

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

And 

Our God, The True And Living Holy God

With The Heart Of Love

Having Compassion

Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries

And 

Works For Us Our Only Means Of Deliverance! 

But ... Do We Learn Anything From Our Recent 

Known Unpleasant Experience!?! 

Oh, No! 

That Would Be Too, Too, Tooooo Easy! 

So What Do We Do Instead!?! 

We Rinse ... And Repeat! 

We Act Like Like Those Who

- By Their Own Wisdom, In Their Own Strength - 

Would Save Themselves, Would Save The Earth: 

We Recycle! 

Oh, Lord, Have Mercy On Us Your Wayward Children! 

Brethren Beloved, 

If We Keep Doing The Same Things 

Whilst Expecting A Different Response

It Is Called Madness: 

There Will Not Be Any Mad 

Aka Boiled-Brain Persons 

In The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

- Having Asked The Lord To Give Us Of His Wisdom - 

So That We Do Not Walk As The Worldly-Wise 

Whose Wisdom Is Foolishness To The God Of Glory! 

In The Land Of The Godly 

The Only Wise God Is King! 

In The Land Of The Ungodly

Satan, The Forever Damned, Is The Accursed King! 

Beloved, 

Rinsed And Recycled Sin Is Still Sin

Backsliding And Chastisement Still Cause Pain

Confession Still Places Us In The Land Of Regret

And 

Restoration Of Deliverance Will Still And Forever 

Come From The Hand Of The All-Knowing

Ever-Present, Forgiving God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 

Live And Love To Do Right! 

Peace!

Truth Will Light Our Path To Peace!

A Christian Who Walks "Wisely" In Their Imagination 

In The Idle Belief That They Are Safe In This World 

Because 

They Are Using A Long Spoon 

When They Sup With The Devil And His Minions 

Has Lost The Prize Before The Horse Race Has Even Started! 

Beloved, 

Never Let Devilish Pride Stop You From Saying Your Prayers 

And 

Letting Our Dear Savior Know That 

You Are Overwhelmed 

By All That Concerns Your Daily Life And Living! 

Being Overwhelmed

Being Buried By Bills, Work 

And 

Physical, Emotional, And Spiritual Problems 

Is 

A Recipe For Disaster Best Remedied 

By A Visit To The Always Accessible Throne Of Grace 

Where The Always Available King Of Glory And Prince Of Peace 

Is 

Always Available ... To You, To Me, To Us! 

Free Mercy Will Correct Us With Care

Chastise Us With Love 

And 

Comfort Us As The People Of The Living God 

By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Truth Will Light Our Path To Peace

Provision, Purity

And 

Paradise! 

We Are Not Alone: 

Our Loving God Is With Us! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Never Forget 

What Our Lord Has Done For Us In The Past

What He Is Doing For Us All Like Right Now

And 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget 

What He Has Promised, By His Own Spilt, Innocent Blood 

To Do For Us Each, Individually, Personally

In The Life To Come! 

Let Us Choose To Overwhelm The Devil And His Minions 

By Our Clear And Obvious, Principled Aka Godly Devotion 

To Jesus Christ Our Lord Who Provides! 

Prove The Lord Today: 

Give Him Your Need By Prayer Wrapped In Trust 

And 

Delivered By Faith! 

Peace!

Bow The Knee

 

When We Were Children 

And

For Whatever Reason 

We Had Been Caused To Suffer A Chastisement 

And

Showed Our Grand Displeasure At 

"The Injustice Of It All!" 

The Elders Had The Perfect Riposte For Us:

"Fix Your Face

Or I Will Fix It For You!"

Oh, The Horror! 

Now Can You Imagine That We ... Mere Mortals

Have The Temerity To Want To Tell Our Maker

Lord, God, King 

And

Judge 

To Fix His Face When He Has Just Cause 

To Chastise Us For Our Base Folly!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are A Hard-Headed People 

Who Dare To Tempt The Lord! 

Have You Considered What Would Happen To Us 

If 

The Lord Of Life Caused Us To Feel 

The Dread Effects Of His Hot Displeasure!?! 

There Is Nothing That Our Lord Christ Does That 

Is 

Done In Vain! 

The Lord Chastises His Children 

And

If For Some Strange Reason 

You Are Walking Wild And Unfettered

You May Want To Check Your Birth Certificate 

Because 

The Lord Chastises Those Whom He Loves

Aka His Children! 

No Chastisement 

Means You're A Bastard Child 

And

As Such That Means That 

You Have No Inheritance 

Or Right To An Inheritance 

With The Family Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

We Owe The Lord Everything 

So Let Us Be Wise 

And

Permit The Lord Christ To Direct Our Paths!

We Did Not Make Ourselves

And

We Cannot Save Ourselves! 

Humble Pie Tastes Better Than Dirty Pudding! 

Bow The Knee! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Act Like A Crab!

When We Were Young

To Have Someone Tell You That 

You Were Just Like A Crab 

Was A Grave Chastisement By Insult! 

One Crab Uses Another Crab 

By Climbing On His Back To Raise Himself Up 

And

He Doesn't Look Back! 

To Put It Mildly

A Crab's Mentality 

Is 

To Be An Ungrateful And Inconsiderate Being 

Aka A User And An Abuser! 

Lucifer Was Given Exalted Status 

By Jesus Christ The Lord Who Created Him 

But

He Was Not Satisfied With What He Had 

And

Where He Was In The Heavenly Hierarchy 

So He ... Being The Bright And Shining Ingrate

Set About To First Destroy The Character 

And 

Then The Life Of 

The Very One By Whom He Had Existence! 

So Much For Gratitude And Thankfulness! 

Beloved, 

Look Upon Lucifer Now Satan The Accuser Damned 

And

Weep For Your Own Self 

If 

You See That You Are Manifesting 

The Ingrate's Thankless Spirit! 

By Satan's Seeking To Destroy Jesus Christ's Holy Life 

And

Succeeding In Killing His Human Flesh

Satan Lit The Fuse Which Will See Him

And

All Who Are As He Is

Fire-Bombed And Burned With Unquenchable Fire 

Which Will Burn Itself Out When They 

And 

Then Satan

Are Completely Consumed! 

Please Let Us By Almighty God's Grace

Change Our Thoughts, Attitudes

And 

Actions 

So That We Are Not Amongst The Forever Lost! 

Peace!

Time Is Made For Change!

There Is No Changing Attitude

After

The Passage Of Your Judgment!

 

Our Doings Are Going To Be Our Own Chastisers!?!

If You've Not Heard It Before, Hear It Now: 

There Is No Future For The Wicked And Their Wickedness

Nor For Sinners And Sin! 

The Author Of Sin, Evil And Wickedness Shall Perish 

Along With His Prized Child 

And 

All Those Persons Who Unwisely Believe That 

Their Felt Needs Supercede Doing 

The Divine Will Of The Holy God! 

Beloved, 

Please Consider That Every Word Of God 

Is 

Pure And True 

And

When The Lord Clearly Says That 

Our Doings Are Going To Be Our Own Chastisers

We Would Do Well To Tremble 

And 

Hold Our Maker, Savior, Redeemer 

And

Judge In Godly Fear Aka Awe! 

The Lord Has Promised That 

Sin Shall Not Rise Up A Second Time 

And

If Sin, Encompassing Evil And Wickedness, Has No Future

Would It Not Be Eternally Profitable To Us 

Who Have Taken The Lord Christ As Our Everlasting Portion 

To Choose To Follow After Christ 

And 

His Righteousness 

And

Give Self, Satan, Sin, Evil, And Wickedness 

The Olde Heave Ho Aka "Get Lost, Be Gone, Go Away!?!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Do Not Pet And Feed The Sin In Your Life

Because 

It Will Sting You Like A Serpent

Gore You Like A Wild Hog

Peck You Like A Vulture

And 

Rip You To Shreds Like A Raging, Hungry Lion! 

Jesus Christ The King Saves: 

Confess Your Known Sin

Repent Aka Forsake Your Sin 

And

Choose To Be Blessed And Saved! 

Peace With The Lord Christ

Is

Possible

In

This Dark World Of Sin!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Righteous Living Is Not A Jail + No Repentance After Death!

Speak Softly! 

Be Kind! 

Do Good! 

Act Right! 

We Represent Jesus Christ

Who Does Everything That Pleases His Father! 

Jesus Was Abused, Denied, Rejected

And Yet

He Preached, Prayed, Taught

Healed And Fed The Multitudes

Giving No Heed To His Detractors

Because

He Knew What Was At Stake

What Trial

What Triumph 

Laid Ahead! 

No Cross ... No Crown! 

No Hope ... No Glory! 

No Prayer ... No Power! 

We Must Firmly Stand Upon The Truth

Found Only In The Good News Gospel Story! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Let's Not Let Sinful-Self 

Choose Neither Our Attitude Nor Our Altitude

But

Let Grace, Faith And Prayer 

Order Our Steps To Glory

If It Is Truly Our Heart's Desire 

To Dwell Forever With The Kind King 

Who Is Eternally In Residence There! 

Fear Almighty God ... Not The Great Unknown

For Almighty God ... Alone 

Is In Control 

And

To Him

The Unknown Is Known! 

Let Jesus Christ The King

Who Rules And Reigns

Judges And Justifies

Saves And Sanctifies

Heals And Helps

Teaches And Tests

And

Loves Us And Leads Us

Love Us And Lead Us

For He Is Our Only Peace 

And 

Our True Rest! 

Let Us Cease From Our Wanderings

Our Going Astray

And

Trust The Love That Cannot Fail

Who Gives Us Faith That Cannot Fail

Who Blesses Us With Grace That Is Really Real

And

Pours Mercy Upon Us

That Will Not Our Lives Derail! 

Follow Our Father! 

Be The Head And Not The Tail

And

Live Commendably To Rejoice 

And

Not Condemnably To Wail! 

Righteous Living Is Not A Jail! 

THOUGHT

FOR

THE WEEK AHEAD:

 

We Are Warned By Our Dear Savior That 

Anything Done In The Darkness 

Shall Surely Be Brought Into 

The Glaring Light Of Judgment! 

People Whose Deeds Are Evil

Who Despise Correction And Chastisement

Always Choose To Operate Under Cover Of Darkness 

To Avoid Detection! 

Beloved, 

Be Ye Warned And Thrilled ...

The All-Seeing, Ever-Present Eye Of The All-Knowing God 

Sees And Records Every Last Thing That We Do! 

We May Hide From Man 

But

Hiding From Man Achieves Nothing 

Because 

It Does Not Hide Or Erase Our Record

In The Courts Above! 

Think Carefully ...

If You Have To Hide To Do Anything

It Is Certain That 

You Already Know That What You're Doing 

Or Contemplating Doing Is Wrong

Will Not Pass The Sniff Test

And

Is Definitely Not Pleasing To Our Maker, God And King! 

Be Wise ...

If You Would Not Wish To Be Caught 

Doing Something Iffy Or Sniffy By Your Parents

Children, Husband, Wife, Friends Or Family

You Should Back Up Off Your Intended Action:

A Working Conscient Is An Asset!

Avoid Mistakes By Walking In The Light

And

Dare To Correct Your Errors While Life Is Spared! 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Anyone 

So Do Not Let The Last Act Of Your Life 

Be A Dark Deed Of The Damned! 

There Is No Repentance After Death 

So Do Not Stifle Your Conscience: 

Do Right!

 

The Lord Is Strong ... For Obedient-You!

"Why Me!?" 

Is 

A Favored Expression Among Men When Life Goes South 

And 

It Seems That The Devil's Minions Are Chewing Our Liver! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned: 

Disobedience Costs! 

When We Dare To Walk In Our Own Counsels

According To Our Own Understanding

Doing What Pleases Our Selves 

Because Of 

Vanity, Arrogance 

And 

Pride

We Act Foolishly 

And

Receive The Fool's Portion! 

Did Not The Fool Say In His Heart That 

There Is No God!?! 

Both Cream 

And

Rotten Eggs 

Rise To The Top And Float 

And 

Receive Abundant Attention: 

The Rotten Eggs Get Destroyed! 

The Lord, Our Shepherd

The King, Our Judge

Is 

Watching

Is 

Seeing

And 

Working With Love! 

The Lord Chastises

The Ones That He Loves!

The Work That We Do Will Commend 

Or

Condemn Us 

So Think Twice ... Even Thrice

When You Put Stumbling Blocks In The Path Of Your Brethren

When You Stand Against Truth

When You Choose Feelings Over Faith

When You Choose To Do The Work Of The Adversary Of Souls, Satan

And 

Bring The Good Lord's Name Into Disgrace! 

Don't Dig Your Grave With Your Teeth 

Or 

Burn Down Your Own House With Your Tongue! 

Do Right!

Love With Your Head, Heart And Hands 

And 

Be At Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + We Don't Own Anything!

All Of Us Who Are Acting All Pompous

And

"Enjoying" Being Puffed Up With Inordinate Pride

It Is Time For The Reality Check! 

Dear Lord, Help Us! 

We Should Have Been Asking For The Lord's Help Before Now! 

We Might As Well And Hear The Chastisement

And Beg The Lord To Help Us To Bear It ... 

... And Make All Wrong Things Right

Before It Is Too Late! 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, 

Just In Case We've All Been Drinking Devil Juice 

And

Scarfing Down Devil Bread

Hear The Truth:

We Don't Own Anything!

We Have No Power In Ourselves

And

There Ain't Nothing Majestic

Or

Glorious

About People Who Need

The Help Of The Lord Of Life

To Just Be Able To Breathe!

The Earth Is The Lord's 

And Everything 

And Everybody Who Has Lived

Is Living 

And Will Live Upon It 

And

We Will All Do Well To Understand

Accept 

And 

Be Comfortable In That Knowledge!
It Ain't Never Gonna Change! 

Objections Are Useless ...

You Don't Have To Like The Truth!
It Stands Without Your Assistance
And

Your Dislike ... Or Even Your Liking Of The Message

Is Not

Going To Change Facts Or Displace Or Annul The Truth! 

Truth For The Powerfully Powerless  ...

The Word Of The Almighty God Does Not Change

So Let's Read The Word Again

And

Make An Obvious Connection

To The New Testament

Since The Majority Of You Love To Talk About Being

New Testament Christians! 

The Old Testament ... With A Thud
Meets The New Testament For Us Today

And

By The Lord's Loving Grace
And
The Guidance And Chiding Of The Holy Spirit
We Are Going To Stop The Nonsense That

We Have All Being Indulging In!
All That We "Have" The Lord Has Given Into Our Hands! 

Jesus Christ Taught His Disciples The Model For Prayer

- Which We Still Use - 

And 

We Need To Believe It

And 

Hold On To The Real Power ... Jesus Christ The Lord

For His Kingdom 
Is 
The Living And Eternal Kingdom
And
Majesty And Glory Are His ... Alone! 

We Need To Stop Trying To Jump The Gun
And
Choose To Strive To Be Amongst Those 

Who Shall Live With Our Lord Jesus 

In His Surpassing Glory! 

Beloved, 

All Who Choose To Enduringly Obey The Word Of The Lord Christ

- Who Calls Us To His Side

By The Holy Spirit Of Living Truth - 

Should Never Be Caught Offside Indulging In Power Grabs

Viciously Hunting For Earthly Power And Position

Deceitfully Living Lawlessly

And 

Using Temporal Splendor In Clothing And Possessions 

To Laud Self 

And

Lord It Over God's People! 

Satan Tried The Power Grab!

Read Your Bible Carefully

And Know ... With Certainty

How It Worked Out

For Him

And His Deceived Soldiers!

Let's Never Forget That 

There Is The Day Of Settling Accounts 
With The Lord Of Life! 

There Will Be Fixed Appointments! 

There Will Be No Excuses

And 

There Will Be No Do-Overs! 

Debits And Demerits 

And 

Credits And Merits 
Will Be Distributed As Individually Earned!
Every Man Enters Heaven
Based On His Personal Record
And 
Personal Relationship With The Lord Christ!

Faith Without Works Is Dead!

I Beseech Us All, Brethren 

To Please Strive For The Heavenly Credit! 

Jesus Christ Is King: Serve Him ... Not Self! 

By The Way ...

Just In Case You Still Have Doubts

Please Remember This:

The Only Thing That We Will Carry To Heaven With Us

Is

Our Character ... Fashioned After The Lord Christ's! 

Everything Else We Acquire On Earth

BUURRRNS! 

Don't Ever Forget It! 

Beloved,

We Are Not Alone
So Please Let Us Find Our Peace In Prayer To The Father
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Because

Jesus Christ, Alone ... Who Made Us
Is
The Only One Who Saves Us!
Our Victory Is In Jesus:
Give Him Humble, Heartfelt, Praise! 

Hallelujah To The Lamb Of God!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire To Thank Jesus Christ Personally

Father,
My Heart Is Grateful
And I Give You All The Praise
My Worship
My Will
My Way!
I Am Willing, Lord, To Do All That You Say!

Thank You For All Your Blessings Upon Me!

Your Requirements Are Not Burdensome
Even Though The Way Is Strait!
I Desire To Walk Straight
Live Right And Do Good
Because I Desire To Sit At Your Welcome Home Table
And Eat Off Of Your Good Plates!

To Thank Jesus Christ Personally

I Am Making A Date!

I Wish I Could Help Some Of My Brethren Understand
That You Mean What You Say
That You Are Never Unkind
And If You Must Chastise Your Children Called
It Is For Our Good
And Out Of Sacrificial Love For Us All!

It Is The Only Way To Get Right

To Get Home After Our Unnecessary Fall!

The Earth Is Groaning!
Satan Is Raging!
Many Seemingly Innocent People Are Dying
And
The Under-Shepherds Of Your Sheep, Dear Lord
Are Crying, Crying
For Pounds, No Pence
Dollars, No Cents
And Have Taken Total Leave Of Their Senses
Seemingly Ignoring The Facts That
Your Holy Account Reconciliation
Has No Float
And They Must Give Accounting To You
The Lord Of All
For Any Missing Person
For Every Missing Groat!

How I Pray For Them To Awaken From Sleep!

We Need Help, Father
And I Am Pleading, Please
For The Boy, The Girl
The Mother, The Father
The Daughter, The Son
Who Is Following After Folly
Looking To Have Fun, Fun, Fun

Because They Are Listening 

To The Siren Song Of Sin

Colored And Lit The Senses To Delight!

Father,

Please Help Us For Faith To Aggressively Fight!

Those Of Us Who Choose
To Live According To Your Basics
Are Called Fundamentalists
And A Problem For The Body Politic
That To The Household Of Faith
Is A Ticking Timebomb
Just Waiting For The Moment
When Upon Us They May Let Loose!

Lord, Please Help Us!

We Have Heaven To Gain

And Hell To Refuse!

Help Us To Remain To The Master, Faithful!

Father, Dear Father

We Can See The Signs Of The Times

Just As Well As We See The Day's Weather

And

It Is For This Reason, Lord

That We Choose To Follow After You

And Not The Lying Other!

Please Bless Us To Do Your Will

Now, Today, Since There Is No Tomorrow

For In The Living Word It Clearly States

That Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man

And Now Is The Acceptable Time

To Seek After Soul Salvation

If It Is Our Singular Desire

To Walk And Live And Work 

In The Heavenly Land!

Forgive Us Of Our Sins

Because We Confess And We Repent!

Cleanse Us Of All Unrighteousness

Because We Accept Your Word That

There Is No Profit In Lawlessness

And

Bless Us To Glorify Your Holy Name

And To Praise The Beloved Jesus

In Whose Matchless Name

We Humbly Pray

And Believing, Plead!

We Love You!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God Rules ... In The Affairs Of Men!

There Is An Old Adage:

Look For Trouble
And It You Shall Surely Find!

And

The Bible States:

If The Almighty God Says 

"Speak To The Rock!"Don't Bash It Repeatedly
When Anger Is In Your Spine!

If The Almighty God Says

"Walk!"That Is What You Must Do!
Do Not Mind What Others Are Doing

For
The Almighty God Says
Obedience Causes Him
To More Lovingly Care For You!

The Almighty God Raises Up Kings
AND

He Takes Kings Away!
Some Are Anointed

AND

Appointed To Bless
AND
Others Are Appointed For Our Chastisement
When From The Holy God's Tenets
We Boldly Go Astray

Willfully Sinning

Seeing Nothing About Sin To Confess!

Just Think Of King Jeroboam
Used By The Lord
With The Promise:

Obedience By You Will Be Blessed!

Look, Again, At Jeroboam
And SeeFlagrant Disobedience
After
He Started To Buy Into His Own Press!

He Considered Himself A Great Success!

Understand That ...

Any Person Willing
May Be Used ... Valiantly
In The Cause Of God
BUT

Watch The Blessing
Turned Into Cursing
When Pride
Causes A Vile Linkup
With The Wily Fraud!

The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar
Was Appointed To Be Blessed!
He Conquered The World
And Then AssumedThat All His Glories
Were By His Own Prowess!

But, Now ...

Look ... At His Punishment
View ... His Repentance
Applaud ... His Reappointment By God
AND

Know

Understand

Appreciate

Accept

See That

There. Is. No. Blessing.
In Less-Counting The Holy God!

Chastisement Is A Faithful Rod!

Almighty God Rules
In The Affairs Of Men!
For Good Or For Ill
He Can Appoint Even The Basest Of Men! 

A Base Man May Be Low-Born
Or

A High-Born Man Who Is Mind Is Base
AND
In Beholding Such A Circumstance

You Will Recognize That The Almighty God
Is

Sovereign
AND
You Will Know

To Keep Your Eyes Steadfastly Fixed Upon Him!

Please ...

Let Us Pray For Our Leaders
That They Permit Themselves 

To Be Used For Good

AND

By The Holy God
AND
Let Us Also Pray For Yourselves
That We Do Not Look Up To Mere Men
As We Should Look To The Saving God!

Don't ...

Pray Ill For Any Man
Because
There Is No Blessing In That!
Just Pray In Faith

For Healing!

For Heeding! 

AND
Do The Works Of Him Who Sends You
AND
Trust

AND

Obey The Lord Christ Jesus
Who Is Our Guide
Until Our Own Lives
Or
This Mortal Life Ends!

Almighty God 

Is 

Ever Always In Perfect Control

And

He Does Not Share His Glory

With False Gods

False Prophets

Beast Powers

Nor

That Dragon

Satan The Fraud

So

Look Unto Jesus Christ

Learn From Jesus Christ 

Lean Upon Jesus Christ

The Author

And

Finisher Of Your Most Holy Faith

Because

He Will Not Ever

Let You Down!

He, Alone, Wears

The Eternal Crown!
