VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Placing Confidence ...!?!

 













Important People Called Wise Would Have Us To Believe That 
Having Confidence In Them Is Better 
Than Having Confidence In The Lord Christ! 

Now, There's A Thing! 

Preachers Teaching Another Jesus From Another "Bible" 
Desire That We Place Confidence In Them 
Because 
They Studied Long And Hard, And Write A Lot
And 
Being Upper-Class Men
They Have Got The Facts And The "We Know It!" Card! 

Brethren, 

The Scribes, The Pharisees, And The Sadducees
The Lawyers And The Doctors Of Jesus' Day 
Knew Everything
Knew Nothing
Demanded Confidence In Themselves
And 
Sold The People Out To Sin And Satan! 

Have We Learnt Anything Yet!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 

Now Is Not The Time To Have Confidence In Any Created Being 
If You Want To Meet Jesus Christ In Peace ... Perfect Peace! 

We Cannot Have Confidence In Blood, Bonds, Or Beauty
So, Therefore, We Must Repose Our Confidence In Him Who Is Not A Man
In Him Who Cannot Lie
In Him Who Has Already Cold-Death Defied
In Him Whose Throne Is On High 
And 
From Whence He Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries! 

Not Convinced!?! 

Ask A Deceitful Human To Get You Up 
If 
The Lord Has Bade You To Be Still! 

Beloved, 

Keep Your Trust In And Your Secrets With The King Of Glory! 

Be Absolutely Confident In Our Lord Christ! 

Peace!

Where Is Our Confidence In Christ!?!




Brethren, 

Be Not Afraid To Use Your Words
- The Words Of Our Lord Jesus -
With Confidence, Caring, And Compassion! 

How Is It That Bold Sinners, Idolaters, Deceivers
Users, Abusers, Mockers, And The Scorners Of 
All Things Holy, Good, Clean
And 
Perfect To Save Our Souls From Sin, Self
Death, The Grave, And Certain Hell 
Use Their Unwise Words With Pointed, Practiced Precision!?! 

Christians, What Is Our Problem!?! 

Where Is Our Holy Boldness!?! 

Where Is Our Confidence In Christ 
Who Has Called Us To Service
Equipped Us For Our Various Assignment
And 
Is Accompanying Us Into The Lions' Dens
The Fiery Furnaces
And 
The Enemy Encampments!?! 

Is The Damned Destroyer Stronger Than Our Creator-Savior!?! 

Is The Lord's Peace Less Than The Liar's War!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Travelling Citizens Of 
The Kingdom Of The Eternally Blessed 
And 
We Are Truly Nearing Our Forever Home! 

This, Therefore, Is Not The Time 
To Be Bar-Room, Kitchen-Counter
Politically-Correct, Kissing-Cousins Friends With The World 
To Offend And Be Enemies Of Our Blessed Jesus 
Who Alone Saves! 

Let's Get In ... And Do Our Work! 

Let's Tell The Gospel Story 
And 
Get Out Of Where We're Not Welcomed
And 
Let's Go Up To Glory As Obedient And Faithful Stewards! 

Let's Bless Others With The Lord's Wonderful Words Of Life! 

Peace!

With Confidence And In Humility, Depend On The Lord!









Beloved, 

Despite The Challenges We Daily Face
Let Us Approach Our Great God In Prayer 
With Humility, Confidence, And Dependence! 

In Humility 
Because 
You Are In The Holy Presence Of The Eternal And Sovereign God! 

In Confidence 
Because 
You Know That Your God Is Real 
And 
Is Well Able To Provide 
For He Is Our Creator And Our Re-Creator
And 
Our Redeemer-God
Our Deliverer
The Lord Of Life! 

In Dependence 
Because 
We Know That He Knows That We Need Him Who Made Us
And 
We Know That He Loves Us Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally
And 
Desires Our Salvation
Our Healing
Our Cleansing

And 

We Truly Believe That 
He Will Do All That He Has Promised To Do For Us 
By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
And 
Ascension To His Father's House As The Conquering King! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Guarantees Of 
Goodness And Grace And Glory In This Life 
Are In The Word Of Christ The King Who Gives Us Liberty! 

Let Us This Day Bow Before The Lord With Love
In Humility
Expressing Need, Gratitude, Giving Thanks, And Praise
Believing And Trusting Almighty God 
In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus
And 
Finish It All With A Glad 
"AMEN! - So Let It Be!" 

Our King Is Coming: 
Get Ready 
And
Stay Vigilant Against Deceitful Snakes
Roaring Lions
And 
Fearsome Dragons! 

Look To Jesus Christ 
The Living, Holy, Light Of Life That 
Leads To Eternal Life! 

Peace!

Tickets On The Old Ship Of Zion Are Free!




Heads Up! 
When We  Accept That 
There Is Security In Almighty God's Protection
We Will
- With The Confidence That Resides 
Within Our Daily Gift Of Faith Received From 
Our Savior, Lord, God, And King -
Ask Him 
- Who We Love Because He Loved Us First -
To Hear Our Heartfelt Prayers 
And
To Be Our Defence, Our Guardian, And Our Guide
And
To Deliver Us Not Just From The Devil, Evil Diseases, And Disasters
But From The Blackness And Darkness Of  The Second Death! 

Beloved, 

Our Relationship With Our Blessed Jesus 
Involves Relations And A Ship! 

If We Are Walking, Living, Being In Accord With King Jesus
Our Relations, Interactions, Involvement With Each Other 
Will Be Related To The Agreed-Upon Goal: 

Together Forever!
Heaven-Bound
At The Sound Of The Last Trumpet! 

This Is Where The Good Ship Of Zion Comes In! 

Dear Ones, 

To Get On Board The Ship
We Have To Know About The Ship 
And
Have A Desire To Get On Board! 

We Have To Know Where The Ship Is Going 
And 
Have A Desire To Go There! 

We Have To Know The Ship's Operator 
And 
Their Reputation For Service And Support
Their Performance Record
And
Whether They Stand Behind Their Product! 

Lastly, 
We Have To Decide By The Available Public Evidence
Whether We Are Willing, Ready, To Go All In 
And 
Accept That Tickets Are Free 
And That 
Our Desire Will Take Us Into The Presence Of 
The Only One Divine! 

Please Read Your Bible: 
Jesus Christ Delivers You! 

Are You Going!?! 

Peace!

FAITH: You Have The Power!







Faith 
Is 
The Gift That Can Only Come From The Lord Of Life
Jesus Christ The King Of Glory 
But
The Power To Use The Gift Of Faith 
Is 
In Our Hands ... Alone! 

Beloved, 

Think About This Long And Hard! 

We, As Committed Christians, Desire To Overcome Sin: 
Faith 
Is 
The Victory That Overcomes The Sinful World! 

With This In View
There Is Only One Way Forward: 
Exercise
         Work
               Use Your Personal Gift Of Faith 
In Every And All Aspects Of Your Life! 

We Can't See Faith 
But
We See What Faith Can Accomplish! 

We Can See What Sin Does In The Life Of 
One Bereft Of Faith 
And
We Can See The Sinner Being Set Free By Faith! 

Our Master, Savior, Redeemer
Lord, God, And Forever Friend
Gives To Each Of Us A Measure Of His Faith Every Day 
To Be Used For That Day Alone: 
Use It Or Lose It! 

While We Cannot Carry Forward Or Borrow Faith
We Are Well Able To Build Upon Our Faith: 
Experience Builds Confidence 
Exercise Builds Muscle
And 
Muscles Speak Of Strength! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Use Our Faith 
To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ
To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ! 
Be Strong In The Lord! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Pity Us This Day, Dear Lord!









PRAYER:

Please Help Us To Remember, Dear Father
That 
You Are Our Shepherd
Our Refuge And Strength
And That
When We Dwell In The Secret Place Of
The Most High
It Is Under  The Truth That We Safely Abide! 

We Love And Trust You
And
Even Though We May Not Be Always Able 
Your Hand Of Love To Trace
We Are Able To Rest In Peaceful Confidence 
Because
Faith For The Day Is Present 
Which, Trustingly Used, We Can Never Disgrace! 

Oh, How We Seek You
Who Is Ever Able To Be Found 
When We Diligently Seek After You 
In Whose Presence Is Holy Ground! 

Father, 
The Idolaters Are Raging
And
The People Are Imagining Vain Things
So Please Help Us 
Who Are Totally Committed
To The Cause Of Jesus Christ 
Not To Be Lured
By The Known Demonic Device! 

The Heavens Declare Your Glory
And
The Earth Shows Your Handiwork
So Please Help Us Ever To Your Side To Flee 
As We Sit, Stand, Recline, And Kneel
And
For Our Safe Arrival 
On The Great And Glorious Day To Plead! 

You Heal And Don't Hurt! 
You Save And You Seal! 
You Touch And You Teach 
And So With Faith First
It Is For Your Holy Hand That
We Humbly Reach! 

Please Grant Saving Grace
And
Available Mercy Free
And
Please Bless Us With All Blessing 
As In Total Obedience
We Gratefully, Thankfully
Serve And Worship Thee! 

Please Pity Us This Day
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That
We, As Beggars, Pray
And
With Blessed Confidence
Earnestly, Untiringly, Plead! 
AMEN!!!

Jesus Christ Will See Us Through ... It All!






Are You Anxious, Depressed, Fearful ... Guilty!?! 
Will You Admit It!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord's Our Rock
And 
It Is In Him That We Should Confide
Hide 
And 
Abide! 

It Is Because Of Our Lord Christ's Love That 
We Are Able To Say That 
Our Creator God Has Not Given Us A Spirit Of Fear
But 
A Spirit Of Love 
And 
A Sound Mind! 

We Can Also Comfort Ourselves With The Knowledge That 
We Are Not Our Own
And 
Do Not Walk Alone 
And
We Can Still Give Praise 
Because
The Lord Is Our Shepherd 
And
Is The Shepherd Of Our Rest 
From All That Weighs Us Down! 

Hope In Jesus Christ The Lord!

Let Us For Love
With Faith 
And 
Blessed Endurance
Choose To Unceasingly Call Upon The Lord 
Who, Alone, Is Worthy To Be Praised 
To Save Us From The Enemy Called Doubt
- A Servant Of Satan - 
Which Is A Known Blood-Suckling Leech! 

The Satan Aka The Accuser
The Devil
The Piercing Serpent
The Dragon
Beelzebub Aka Lord Of Dung
Is
The Liar ... The Father Of Lies! 
Don't Believe Anything That He Or His Servants Say! 

Our Life 
Is 
In Our Blood 
So Refuse To Give In To Doubt 
And
Choose, Instead 
To Call
Persistently Pray
Plead
Beseech
And 
Petition Our Creator ... The Life-Giver
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Shed His Innocent Blood 
So That We ... Guilty Of Sin
Don't Have To Spill Ours! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Pray For The Outpouring 
And 
Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit 
And
Choose To Keep Your Eyes Fixed 
And 
Focused On The King Who Is Love
Who Unreservedly Loves 
And 
Cares For You Individually 
And 
Personally! 

Please Heartily Hope Hungrily For Christ Jesus: 
He Is Your Peace! 
Be Confident In Christ!

Confidence!?! In Whom!?!


 


 




In Whom And For What Are You Confident!?! 
In What Are You Lacking Confidence!?! 
In What Are You Confident That Truth 
And 
Common-Sense Says "No!?!" 

Beloved, 

Misplaced Confidence 
Is 
As A Dagger In The Heart! 

Lack Of Confidence In Christ In A Christian 
Is 
The Same As Doubt And Disbelief! 

Over-Confidence In Oneself And In One's Abilities 
Is 
The Perfect Recipe To Cook-Up Disaster 
Since You're Placing Yourself In Pride's Fantasy Garden 
As Planted And Groomed By That God-Fraud
Satan The Damned! 

As Committed Christians
Our Confidence, Our Trust, Built Upon The Holy Faith
Should Firmly Be Reposed In The Lord Christ! 

Think About It ...

There Is Nothing Wrong With Being Confident: 
It Is A Gift From The Lord! 

The Problem Lies In Our Making A God Of The Gift 
And 
Dismissing 
And 
Even Denying And Denigrating The Giver! 

When Self Is Elevated
We Become Our Own God
 
And

We May Rest Assured That Multiplied-Sin 
Will Be Boldly, Basely
Opening Our Heart's Door! 

Please Do Not Cast Away Your Confidence In Christ
- Which Bears Fruit - 
For Self's Candy Corn That's Barren! 

Dare To Have Bold Confidence Aka Child-Like Trust 
In The Lord Christ
The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith
Who Sacrificially, Personally
Cares For You Body And Soul! 

Be Wise: 
Only Jesus Saves! 

Peace With Our Lord And God
Is
Our Goal!

Confidence In Self Is A Desperate Lie!







Confidence In Christ
 Is Not 
A Convenience! 
Standing Firmly Upon The Ground Of 
The Heavenly Truth In Which You Truly Believe 
Is Not 
For Convenience Or Carnal Comfort! 

Walking With Christ 
Is Not 
For The Bread And Two Fishes! 

And

Loving The Lord 
Is Not 
About Receiving The Promised Reward! 

Beloved, 

Tomorrow 
Is Not 
Promised To Any One Of Us! 
Knowing Whom You Believe In ... Jesus
Why You Trust Him ... Proven Love And Faithfulness
Why You Walk According To His Word ... Truth Unchanging 
Why You Will Deny Self, Sin 
And 
Satan For Him ... Available Grace Always Sufficient
Is 
Paramount To Our Survival 
And
Prosperity On This Pilgrim Journey! 

Confidence In Known-Sinful Self 
Is 
A Desperate Lie! 
Confidence In Fallen Man
 Is 
A Capital Curse! 
Confidence In Christ 
Is 
Sure Salvation 

And

Confidence In His Unchanging Word
His Character
His Cause
Is 
The Balm Sure To Bring Perfect Peace
And 
Restorative Rest 
No Matter The Fiery Trials Of Life In Your Home
In Your Head
In Your Heart
And 
In Your Hand! 

Only Jesus Saves And Seals! 
Only Truth Heals And Reveals! 
Only Heaven Helps Us: 
Stand Firmly On 
And
Trust Dynamically Upon The Sure 
And
The Secure Promises Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 
Prince Shiloh
Is 
With You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Strong In The Lord!

 



The Lord Equips The Called! 
We Are Called To Exercise Our Gift Of Faith 
And
Now Is Not The Time 
To Start Doubting The Faith Of Jesus Christ: 
It Cannot Fail! 

Beloved, 

We Are All In Need Of A Confidence-In-Christ Booster 
And
We Need Look No Further Than The Word Of Truth: 
It Cannot Fail! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The First Begotten Of The Dead! 

Jesus Christ ... Almighty God In The Flesh
Who Dwelt Amongst Us
And 
Died Amongst Us
And 
Was Buried Amongst Us
Did The Impossible! 

Jesus Christ ... Our True And Faithful King 
Caused Cruel Death To Give Living Birth 
And
Hallelujah, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
This Same Jesus Who Reigns And Rules In Beautiful Zion 
Is
Going To Make Death Give Birth 
To So Many Babies Of Christ's Love That 
Cold Death Is Going To Die The Everlasting Death 
Never To Be Seen In Almighty God's New Creation! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Creator 
And
Our Recreator 
If
We Choose To Enduringly Live 
By His Daily Gift To Us Of His Holy Faith! 

Heaven Is His Throne 
And
Earth Is His Footstool
And
Any Sorrow, Shame
Sickness, Guilt
Demonic Force
Or Distasteful Desire Hanging Over Our Heads 
Is
Most Assuredly
Under Our Living God's Feet! 

Look Up To Jesus ... And Live: 
Our God Is Able 
And 
Ready To Save Us! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ Saves
Protects
Provides
Preserves
And
Pursues Us
And
If And When Necessary
Punishes Us For Our Good
To Preserve Us In His Peace
And
To Get Us Home To His Perfect Paradise! 



The Peace Of The Lord Christ
Is
Perfection
And
Protection!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JESUS' PEACE IS PERFECT: Live With Hope!


Psalm 33:22 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


We Are Humans Created In The Image 
And 
Likeness Of Almighty God
And 
We Have Been 
And 
Are Daily Blessed With The Precious Gift Of Faith 
Which Brings With It That Dearest Of Companions
Hope
Which, With Malice, Boldly Kills Fear 
Which Burdens Our Lives With Unbearable Care! 

The Hope Of Faith 
Gives To Every Heart The Capacity To Perform Feats Of Daring! 
It Gives Strength To The Sick And Suffering To Carry On! 
It Makes The Weak Heart Strong To Joyfully Sing In The Storm Of Life! 
It Makes Cloudy Eyesight Sharp! 
It Makes Timid People Brave 
And
It Urges The Child
- Desirous Of Getting Home To The Father's House -
Into The Fountain Filled With Blood In Pursuit Of Forgiveness 
And 
To Get Thoroughly Clean! 

We Cannot Be True Children Of God 
When We Deliberately Choose To Host The Pity Party 
Where The Feast
Is
Bread Of Despair 
Accompanied By A Vintage Bottle Of Whine! 

Beloved, 

From The Hand Of God To Us Hope Springs Eternal! 
Let No One Put Your Hope Out To Pasture 
Because In So Doing
You Shall Surely Be Courting The Spiritual Disaster! 

Strengthen The Weak Knees ...

Let Hope In Jesus Float Your Sinking Boat 
And 
Extinguish All The Fires Of Adversity In Your Life! 
Trust God! 
Be Confident In Christ! 
Rely On The Holy Spirit
And
Live With Hope! 
Jesus' Peace Is Perfect!

HAPPY SABBATH + Do Fuh Do!?!





Far Less Confidence
And
Far More Confidence
Were Brethren  ... Equals
But 
With Far More Confidence
Being The Child On The Distaff Side!

Far Less Confidence
Was The Favorite Child ... Obviously
And
He Had A Veritable Gold Spoon In His Mouth
A Silver Platter At His Right Hand
And
An Army Of Sycophants
Dogs-Bodies
Groupies
Hangers-On
And
The Usual Yes-Men Fixers
To "Make It Happen!"

He Was So Very Used To Having "It!" His Way
That He Had Placed Allllll His Confidence
In Mere Man!

He Liked It Like That
Because
His Heart Was Greedy
Gross
Fat
And
He Had No Use For The God
Who Had Given Him His Head
Upon Which To Place His Favorite Hat!

On The Other Hand
Far More Confidence
Knowing The Facts Of Life
And 
Having Experienced
What Comes As A Result Of The Lay Of The Land
And
Having Had His Faith Severely Tried
Had Learned Patience!
It Was Doing In Him A Perfect Work
And
Because He Knew That His Salvation
Comes As A Result Of His Getting Out
From Under Godless Rule
He Had Cast His Cares On Shepherd Of Rest
King Of Love
And
Is Well And Truly Blessed:

No Sin Is Too Big To Confess
And
No Sin Is Small Enough To Be Hidden!

Far More Confidence
Had Decided To Have Far More Confidence
In God Is Able
Because
He Knows That God Is Able Cares
Blesses
Guides
Chides
Comforts
Protects
Directs
And
Always Knows Best!
God Is Able Is The Good Father!

One Day
Far More Confidence Met Itsa Lipogram
Who Encouraged Him 
To Write A Statement Of His Faith
Minus The Use Of The Letter "E"!

In Far More Confidence's Mind
He Concluded That The Excluded "E"
Stands For No Evil
And So
He Wrote:



Our Lord
Is Always
Faithfully Caring For Us
And
Graciously Supplying Us
With His Gifts Of Loving Favor
So I Am ... With Wisdom
 Will-Surrendered
Walking Sagaciously
In Lord Shiloh's Holy Sight! 

He Did Not Gain Any Friends For That Bold Statement
But
That Was Nothing Unusual
Since He Usually Walked Alone
Depending For Comfort
On The Ever-Present Companion 
By Sight Always Unseen! 

He Made His Bed And He Lies Comfortably On It
Because
He Who Gave Him Life
Was Beside Him ... Holding His Hand
Leading, Feeding
Revealing The Light
Present Always At His Right Hand! 

He Became Persona Non-Grata!

From Then Onward
His Faith Firmly Fixed
His Eye Seeing Salvation
His Heart Holding Hope
He Looks Ever To His God
The Lord Of His Life
- Unerringly -
Ignoring The Barbs And Bites Of This Life
- From His Own Brethren Turned Adversaries -
Knowing ... By Faith
That He Will Survive This Life Of Strife! 

He Has Chosen To Daily Stick To The Good Book:






Because

It Does Not Become A Christian To Get Down And Dirty 
Doing Things Vile 
To Settle Scores With Our Adversaries
Who Would Even Deny Us Our Own Life! 

Brethren, Beloved

We Who Believe The Living Word Of God 
Must Do All To Rise Above Our Natural Inclinations 
To Indulge In A "Do Fuh Do" 
And, Instead
Choose To "Kill" With Kindness
Giving A Soft Answer ... To Turn Away Wrath
Extending A Helpful Hand
And 
Recognizing That 
But For The Available Grace Of Almighty God 
We Could And Would Be Acting 
Just The Same As The Unrepentant Evil-Doer
Who Hates Us Because We Love The Lord! 

Face The Facts ...

Doing Evil Is Instinctive 
But
Doing Good Is A Personal, Christ-Like, Choice!
Choose To Do That Which Will Please The Lord Who Loves Us! 
Do Good And Bless Yourself Today
And 
Always
Against Instinct And Tradition! 

Don't Cultivate The Satanic Soul-Blight! 
Choose Ever ... Always
The King Of Love ... Our True Shepherd
To Joyfully Delight! 

Choose To Bless Your Enemies ... In Jesus' Name!
It Is Not Going To Be Easy To Do
But
It Will Always Be Right
In The Holy God's All-Seeing Eyesight! 


Do Good
And
Good Will Attend Thee!!!
