VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SATISFACTION IN SIN: Balaam Beor

Balaam Beor
Was A Fraud
AND
A Prophet
For Whom Satisfaction Came
Only From Profit!

Balaam
Son Of Beor
Beat His Faithful Ass
Until The Lord Gave It A Voice
Which Caused
The Profit-Driven Prophet
To Answer It
As Though It Were Human!
He Didn't Have A Choice!

Balaam
Knew God's Truth
BUT
Being Of Deceitful Ilk
Petitioned The Eternal
- Not In Innocence -
To See If God
Would Think As He Thought
So That He Could Get His Grubby Hands
On King Balak's Coinage
That Would
In His Loving Hands
- By His Ecstatic Rejoicing -
Gloriously Clink!

Balaam Sold Out His Soul To The Devil
Because
Greed
In His Soul's Armor
Was A Really, Really
Really Big Chink!
It Was A Big Hole!

So Big Was That Hole
That A Whole Satan
Walked Comfortably Through
Never Touching The Edges
So That Balaam Thought
- Wrongly -
That
He Was Doing His Own Do
Never Realizing
- I Conjecture -
That Practice
Wears A Nun Robe
AND
Did Not Recognize
That Against The Living God
He Had Become
A Raw Sinner
Another Adversary
- Pretend Friendly -
AND
Studiedly Bold!

A Little Sin
- Cherished -
Becomes
A Lot Of Sin
- Relished -
AND
You Can't Control It
For
It
- Triumphing -
Controls You!
Your Life Becomes Hellish!

The Story Of Balaam
Is
A Cautionary Tale
A Tale With A Tail
That Does Constant Flail
At This Time Of The End
When Men's Hearts Do Wax Cold
Where Love For The Other
Is Something To Be Sold
When Profiteering Is Laudable
Where Faith In God Is Laughable
Where Truth Has No Beauty
AND
Love For The Living God Is A Nasty Cootee!

I Ask You, Brethren
To Sincerely Search Self
For The Chink In Your Character
For That Lesson In Your Book Of Life
For Which You Always Score An "F"
Because
That Is The Lesson
Which Will Continue To Be Your Test
Ever Getting Harder As It Pertains To Jesus Christ
AND
Ever Easier As It Pertains
To The Base Perpetrator Of Wickedness And Vice!

Think On This ... Carefully:

Just As An Innocent Oyster
Is Impregnated
In Under A Minute
- So As Not To Immediately Kill It -
With A Grain Of Sand
To Make It Produce A Precious Pearl
So, Too, Are We ... But In An Instant!

The Difference 
Is Who Is Doing The Impregnating
AND
For What Purpose
AND
Do We With It Agree!

Oysters Have No Say
In Their Impregnation
AND
They Also Have No Say
In What Color Pearl
What Size Pearl
What Iridescence
It Shall Produce
BUT
We Do!

Balaam Beor
Was Known
To Be A Prophet Of God
Known To Work Enchantments
Known To Utter Curses
Knew The Ways Of God
Had Great Light From God
BUT
Willfully
Wickedly
Knowingly
Treacherously
Greedily
Disobediently
Used It All
For The Glory Of Satan
The Base Fraud!

Satan Is A Thief
A State-Line Robber
A Murderer
Who Impregnates
To Kill Twice
BUT
Jesus Christ
By His Holy Spirit
Indwells
To Give Us
Abundant Life Now
AND
Eternal Life Later!

What Is In Your Soul?
Is It The Light Of Life
The Glow Of Heaven
ORIs It The Seed Of The Serpent
The Bloat Of Corrupting Leaven?!

When You Know WHAT In You Grows
You Will Know WHO Causes It To Grow!
What Are You Raising
For Your Harvest?!

Balaam Son Of Beor
Got The Sword Of Damnation
In His Chest
Because
Those Who Willfully Cause Others To Sin
Get The Same Punishment
As Those Committing The Sin!

Think, Dear Ones
On These Things
AND
Convicted
AND
Convinced
Let Jesus Christ
Of Your Whole Life
Be
The Crowned And Reigning
Laboring King And Captain
To Direct Your Life
AND
Fight
All Your Battles
Against The Adversary Of Souls
Who Cherishes The Night!

Look Unto Jesus The Christ
AND
Keep Heaven
In Your Eye Sight
For
Night Comes
AND, THEN
The Getting Up Morning!
Judgement Morning!

HAPPY SABBATH: SPECIAL DELIVERY: Satanic "Gifts!?!"







The True and Living GOD 
Gives Gifts Unto Us
NOT
Out Of Our Need
BUT
Out Of His Love!

*********************

Any Gift We Receive 
That Is Not In Line With God's Word
And 
His Holy Will
Or Is Not Used To God's Glory
Is A Gift Cursed
And 
Attached To A Hearse
And 
Finally
Eternal Destruction!!

The Bible Says
In Clearest Words
That All Good And Perfect Gifts
Come From The Father Of Lights
In Whom There Is Found 
No SHADOW Of Changing
BUT
When We Receive A "Gift"
That Causes Us To Change
Know That It Comes 
From He Would See Us Deranged
And 
Our Souls Joining His In 
The Accursed Flames!

The Gift From God 
Does Not Cause Sleepless Nights
Wherein We Are Checking for
Lil' Honey 
And 
Mo' Money!

God's Gifts 
Do Not Cause 
Our Hearts To Flip Flop
Nor Our Color To Change
When We Find Ourselves Doing
Evil 
And 
"Pleasurable Things"
With Which - We Know In Our Spirits -
We Should Not Be Fooling!

Satanic Gifts
Even Those That Look Clean
Are Designed Our Souls
To Meanly Demean
To Cause Us To Call
The Almighty God
Our Business Man
Who Works Overtime On Our Plans
Like He's An Overworked
Underpaid 
Ethnic Houseman!

Satanic Gifts
Are Gifts Delivered Sweetly From Hell
Meant To Destroy
Even As They Make One Look Swell!
That IS The Point!
Looking Good 
As Our Souls Dry
And  
We Die
And 
Look Even Better 
As We Brightly Burn Up
In The Lake of Brimstone and Fire!

Satan IS The Gift Horse
We Should Look Square In The Mouth!
AND
If His Words
Are Not 
The Words Of The True and Living God
As Found In The King James Bible
We Will Know - For A Fact -
That We Are Under Satanic Attack!

Let Us Quote Him - For Free -
A "Doth Saith The Lord!"
Then Don't Excuse Ourselves
AND
Utter A Faithful Prayer To The Living Eternal God!


GOD IS NEAR!
And He Will Hear Our Prayer!
So, Don't Give A Care!
Pray The Prayer
And Watch Old Satan 
Hurriedly Disappear!!


Old Bajan Sayings:

Yuh Can Hide En Buy Lan'
But You Can' Hide En Reap Um!

Who Help Yah Buy 
A Big Guts Hors'
Don' Stick Aroun' To Help Yuh Feed Um!

*******

Having Wealth, Honor And Prestige
Does Not Mean They Come
From The True and Living God!
AND
They Also Do Not Mean 
That We Have Almighty God's Favor!

*******

BEWARE:

The Trojan Horse Inside Your Gate Door!!

*******

The "Blessing" 

That 

Invites

Ignites

Destruction

IS

A Sure-Fire Curse!!


GET SMART!

GIVE IT A WIDE PASS!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Greedy-for-Gain: Jealous Envy! + PRAYER






One Day ... I Had An Epiphany!
It Seems I Had A Dose of The I-Wants
So That I Could Say That I-Have!
BUT
What Was Peculiar About This Condition Was
What I Wanted
I Didn't Even Like
AND
To Make Matters Worse
I Would Have To Say I-Have
About What I-Already-Got!

This Smelled of Covetousness
Covered Up In Greedy-for-Gain
For A Lifestyle Not Able To Be Sustained
But Promoted by The People On The Power-Train
Who Lived Lives Useless and
Not-a-Little Brittle and 
Awfully, Awfully, Awfully Vain!

Was I Exhibiting Jealousy
Or, Perhaps ... Envy?!

With This In Mind
I Repaired To The Lord Divine!

The Answer, Dear Ones
Was NOT To Me Kind
BUT
Take It I Must
If I Wanted Ultimately
To Heaven Climb!

The Lord's Name IS Jealous
AND
He IS Jealous for What is His!

My Life
My Love
My Worship
My Prayers
My Praise
Are All His
AND
Jealousy IS Permitted Over WHAT Is Your Own!

BUT ...

Here Is The Kicker!

I Was Indulging In Envy!

Envy Is Longing For What Belongs To ... Another
AND
Envy IS Sin - A Deadly Sin -
AND
It Was The Very Sin That
PRECIPITATED
Lucifer's
Devolution Into Satan
AND
His Unceremonious Departure From
The Heavenly Home!

People!
I Was In Serious Trouble!







Father, 
Forgive Me!

I Knew What I Was Doing!
I Wanted What The Others Have
Because 
It Would Make Me Appear
Highfalutin!

Father,
I Do Not Need The Excess!
I Just Need Enough!
Enough For Myself 
and 
To Share With Another!
I Do Not Need Things to Store Up
Making My Home Miserable
and
Collecting Dust!


Father, 
Please Clean Out My Cobwebs

and 
The Dusty Thoughts of Glories Past!
Help Me to Solely Lean 
on 
The Rock Of All Ages
So That I May Soar Through 
Unimaginable Heavenly Places!


Give Me Blind Eyes to Worldly Thrills!

Give Me Deaf Ears to Worldly Fears!
Let My Heart to You Repair
and
Keep Me Ever 
In Your Holy Care!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

*******


Create In Me, Lord

A Burning Jealousy 
for 
My Home
In The Eternal 
-  not Magical - 
Kingdom!
