VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Polishing The Pig!?!

Isaiah 55:7 KJV

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

Sooo, You Ever Polish A Pig, Carman!?! 

Can't Say That I Have Since I Don't Do Pork, And I Never Played Football, Elvin! 

Me, Neither, But That Phrase Seriously Speaks To Me! 

How So!?! 

You Remember That  Scripture About A Pig Going Back To Its Wallowing Pit Right After You Spiff Him Up Real Nice And All!?! 

Yes, I See What You Mean And, Thinking About That, Pigs Are Unclean, Just Like Sin, And If We Extend That There Metaphor, We Done Gots Ourselves The Problem! 

Yes, Indeed, We Do! 

So, Carman, What Do You Think Is Our Problem ... In A Few Words If You Can!?! 

Well, Elvin, To My Mind, You Know That I Went To School Long But Not Regular, That There Polished Pig Of The Football Kind, We Should Definitely Call Sin! 

We Like To Hold That Pig-Sin In Our Hot Little Hands Just To See How It Feels ... Just For The Look-See ... Or So We Say! 

Carman, You Ever Had A Hard Candy In Your Mouth Convinced That You Were Going To Suck On It Until The Last Sliver!?! 

Been There, Done That, Failed Every Time! 

Pig-Sin Is Like That Hard Candy But Without Any Lasting Pleasurable Benefits, And With All The Undesirable Urges For More, Better, Bigger Marked To The Column "Leverage And Loss!" 

You Ever Hear People Talking About Their Pork Chops And Ribs And How Wonderful They Are, And The Pork Board Talking About The New White Meat ...!?! 

...  I Also Read That The Good Lord Said Don't Eat It, Don't Touch It, Because Pigs Are Scavengers! 

So, Who Are You Going To Believe AND Follow!?!  

Playing With Pig-Sin Is ... Transgressive ... Presumptuous ... Just Wrong! 

We Can't Pretty-Up Sin And "Entice" The Lord To Approve It! 

Carman, We Are Not To Tempt The Lord With Our Vanities And Pride! Our Ways Are Not His Ways Nor Our Thoughts His Thoughts! 

We Did Not Create Ourselves! He Created Us And He Said "Don't!" But We Do It Anyhow Because We Are Making Him Over In Our Image! 

This Should Go Over Real Fine On Judgment Day! 

It's A Sorry Maker, Creator, Builder Who Can't Dismantle His Mantle, Breakdown A Build, And Unmake His Makings! 

'Deed! 

It's A Shame How Quickly And Glibly We Ignore The Lord's Good Parts And Choose To Walk Wise In Worthlessness Because, Well, Why Not! 

Don't You Always Hear That The Old Saw Says That "Everybody Is Doing 'It' So Why Not We!?!" 

It Was Foolish The First Thousand Times I Heard It And It Is Still Foolish Today! 

There Ain't No Amount Of Applied Gold Paint, Pearls And Lace And Lipstick Which Can Make Pig-Sin Into Eternal Growth Stock! 

Sighhhh ... 

The Commandments Are A Light So Let's Walk In The Light That Leads To Life! 

You Ever Realize That Folly, Fools, And Foolishness Have Lots Of Fans And Followers!?! 

That Is Easy To Suss Out: The Bar Is Set So Low That Everybody And Anybody Can Walk Over Because No Stepping Up Is Suggested Or Requested! 

I'm Glad That The Lord Has Got Standards: Step In, Step Up, And Stand Out OR Step Down And Fool Around, Ignore The Frown, And Be Thrown Out Bound Into Outer Darkness With Those Who Believed That The Lord Jesus Was Someone They Could Clown! 

That's Imagining Vain Things! 

Lord, Help! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

Trusting Cell-Phone ... And Doubting Jesus Christ!?!

You Believe That Your Cell-Phone Will Work 
Making It Possible For You To Speak With Anyone
Anywhere, Anytime! 

You Don't How Cell-Phone Works 
But 
You Trust ... Believe Totally 
Without Any Contrary Thought 
That It Will Work
And 
You Exercise Your Free Will 
And 
Make The Free Choice To Use Cell-Phone
And 
Surprise, Surprise, No Shock
It Does Exactly What It Is Advertised To Do!
Cell-Phone Comes Through For You ... Without
Just As Long As You Pay The Bill!

Jesus Christ Paid The Bill

- No Discount -

For Your Personal Sin!

Shouldn't You Repay Him

With Your Love, Faith

And Willing Obedience!?!

You Are Proud Of 
And
In Love With Dear Cell-Phone
And 
You Are Attached To It Like A Limpet!
When We See You, We See Your Cell-Phone! 
If Only We Treat Our Savior Like Ubiquitous Cell-Phone!
You Keep Your Relationship On-Tap Always!

Jesus Christ Loves You Personally

And

He Loves You Sacrificially!

Do You Give Him Any Of Your Love!?!

Do You Even Spare Him A Single Thought

As You Go About Your Day!?!

Jesus Christ Made Man 
And 
Gave Him The Intellect To Make Your Phone! 
Jesus Christ Says He Will Save Us
- He'll Save You ... Personally -
Forgive, Heal, Feed And Sustain Us
- He'll Do It For You ... Personally -
Reveal Truth To Us And Seal Us
- He'll Do It For You ... Personally -

And 

Redeem Us

And 

Take Us To His Father's House! 

Beloved,

The Lord Jesus

Will Do It All For You ... Personally

Because He Loves You ... Personally!

The Big Question ...

Whom Should You Believe In And Trust More:

The Creature 

Who Makes Things That Perish 

Or 

The Creator 

Who Rescues The People Who Are Perishing!?!

Man Cannot Save Man

Nor Can Things Save Man!

We All Want Cell Phones 

But 

We All Need The Lord!

We Can Do Without Wants

But

We Die If The Real Need Is Not Met!

Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Brethren,

We  Have To Walk By Faith
And
Not By Lying, Carnal, Eyesight!
Our Almighty God Is Real
And
We Know That He Is Good ... Always!

Cell-Phone Is Always Changing
Upgrading
Speeding Up
And
To Our Dismay At Times
Cell-Phone Is Even Throttled!

Jesus Christ Is The Same

Yesterday, Today And Forever!

You Can Always Depend Upon 

His Steadfast Love

And Unchanging Nature!

Carnal Sight Equals Slavery! 
Enduring Faith Equals Sainthood! 
Walking In Pride-Filled Sight 
Leads Self Directly To Sin, Satan, Death 
And 
Damnation! 

Walking In Humble Faith 
Leads Us To The Throne Of Grace 
And 
Jesus Christ's Sure And Secure Salvation! 
Let's Stick With Our Jesus 
For The Prophesied 
And 
Expected Blessing! 

HAPPY SABBATH + GET REAL: Don't Give Up On Jesus Christ! + PRAYER: Please Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Upon Us, Father!

I Don't Want A Brass Ring

Nor The Deceitful World's Applause!

I Desire The White Robe And Gold Crown Given

By The Savior Of Man

Who Died On Calvary's Cruel Cross!

I Wish To Be Rid Of My Stony Heart

And

I Desire To Receive The Son Of Man's Gift

Of A Heart Made Of Flesh

Suitable To Cause Me To Become Remade

In The Image Of My Savior

Suitable To Cause Me To Labor 
For The Salvation Of My Sisters And My Brothers
And
Helping Them To Get Shuck Of Satan The God-Fraud!

The Gifts Of The Living God

Are Myriad And New Every Day

And

I Desire To Receive What My Maker Has Promised To Me

And
Daily Gives To Me 
Without Any Hint Of Falsity Or Treachery!

My Savior, My Creator

My Redeemer, My Friend

Is 
Royal And Righteous

The Good Shepherd Known Conquering King

Whose Ways Are In The Sanctuary
Whose Love For Me Has No Known End

And I

For Love Of Him

No Gainsaying ... No Doubt

Choose To Return His Love

By Willing Obedience

For I Hold In My Heart The Desire

To Dwell And Reign With Him

In His Glorious Courts In Heaven Above!

We All Know That We Can Rely On The Lord Christ
- Whom We Have Wronged -
For Food, Favor, Blessings, And Benefits 
Because Of 
His Sacrificial Love For Us! 
Please Do Not Permit Either Personal Pride 
Or Satan's Poisonous Whisperings Of Temptation 
Or Accusations For Past Sins 
To Stop You From Calling Upon Jesus Christ Always! 

Jesus Knows Sees Us And Knows Our Hearts
And 
He Will Help Us
Who Approach Almighty God With The Faith That 
He Daily Gives To Us To Use 
For Our Journeying To The Throne Of Grace! 

We Can't Wear Our God 
So Let's Wear Out Our Strength 
Calling Upon Him Who Blesses 
And 
Strengthens Us With His Love! 
Heaven With Jesus Christ Is Our Home
And
Satan The Damned Is Still The Father Of Lies!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Love You And I Praise You

I Trust You And I Have Needs

So, Please, Dear Lord

From Unfeigned Lips

My Humble Petitions Receive!

Please Lift Me Up So That I May Lift You Up!

I Believe Your Holy Word

And

Of Speaking About Your Goodness

Your Grace

I Will Not Shut Up

For Man's Life Is Fleeting

And

Time Is Almost At Its End

When Accounts Must Be Settled

Where The Expiry Date Of Sin And Satan

Will No Longer Have A Hold

But

Will Be Fulfilled

And

Your Cup Of Wrath Will Be Poured Out:

Save Us, Dear Lord

Those Of Us Who Choose

Upon Your Love

To Wholly Depend!

Pastors, Corrupting Your Holy Word

Are Dipping Seven Times

Washing Their Bodies In Barrels Of Water

On Your Altar, Lord

And

Forcing Your Deluded People

To Drink Cups Of Their Dirty Bath Water

As A Mark Of Faith

And

For A Blessing!

Lord God Almighty, 

Rebuke Them For Their Effrontery! 

Repay Them For Their Fraud!

Open The Eyes Of Your People

And

Please Help Us To Live Wholly And Solely

By The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

Father, 

You Have Called Homosexuality

An Abomination In Your Eyes

And Yet, Dear Father

The Hireling Shepherd Are Practicing Lies

And

They Are Setting Up Churches

Catering Specifically

For The Needs Of Those

Who Presumptuously Refuse

To Heed Your Plain Word

Those Who Live For Their Lusts

Those Who Choose To Reject Plain Truth

And

Prefer To Boldly Walk In Darkness

Trusting Those Who Care More

For Their Bank Balances

Big Houses 

Cars, Jets And Prestige

And

Are Merchandising

The Purchased Souls of Men

Promising Them Utopia

On A Planet That You Have Declared

That By Your Personal Hand

At Your Appointed Time 

Shall Come To A Burning End!

Father,

There Is Even A False Revival Occurring 

Compliments Of

That Unholy Other Spirit

And

Many Are Walking Down

The Documented Dead-End

Which They Are Being Falsely Assured

Has No Known Limit!

Father,

Help Us To Confess And Repent

Of

Our Known Sin

And

Please Forgive Us Our Trespasses

Because

Living Truth Is Cast Down

And

Trampled Upon

On Do-What-Thou-Wilt Street!

Smoke And Mirrors Are Everywhere

And

False-Oath Takers

Are Operating Without Fear!

Men And Women Possessed By Demons

Are In The Halls Of Justice

Government 

In The Church

In The Family 

And

Amongst The Little Ones

Where They Learn And Play!

Cannibalism Is On The Rise

And

Pedophilia

Hedonism

Necrophilia

Bestiality

And

Necromancy

And

Human Transformerism

Is

A Special-To-Satan Delight

And

The Lying Media Houses

Even Christian Media Houses

Are Making An Open Mockery

Of Christ's Christianity

And

Lauds Those Beliefs That
Make Wicked Men Gods!

Father,

Christianity Is Being Marked For Death!

Lord, 

How Long!?!

How Much Longer Must We Thread

The Paths Of Sorrow

In This Vale Of Tears!

How Much Longer, Dear Father

Before The Holy Jesus Shall Appear!

Oh, Please Grant Unto Us

Ever-Increasing Faith And Patience

And

Please Come For Us Soon

For The Anger And Hatred

Being Cast Up Against Your People Is Palpable!

Please, Dear Father

Help Us To Endure!

Help Us To Stand Firm!

Help Us To Speak Truth In Righteousness!

Help Us To Shed Light On The Darkness!

Help Us To Do Good Works

For The Dying World To See

So That Men Will Glorify And Praise You

Who Is In Heaven!

Please Help Not To Get Tired In Well-Doing!

Please Help Us To Love Those Who Hate Us

And

Abuse Us Wrongfully

Because

Of Whose We Are!

Please Pour Of Your Holy Spirit

Upon The People

In Latter-Day Rain Strength

So That The Saving Work May Be Completed

And

Finite-Time Come To Its Stated End!

Please Help Us To Trust You

Our Creator

And

Not A Seen, Created, Human Body

Or The Unseen, Unclean, Spirits

- Condemned Fallen Angels -

Masquerading As Humans

Or Actuating

Depraved Women, Children, And Men! 

In Jesus Christ's Name, We Pray And Plead!

Have Mercy On Us!

We Are Faithfully, Hopefully

Watching, Working
And
Waiting

For And Upon You!

AMEN! 

The Word Of Almighty God Speaks Life!

There Is No One Who Reads
Who Hears The Word Of God 
That Can Honestly Say That 
They Are Unaffected By It! 
We Either Love The Word Or Hate It! 

Whether We Accept The Living Word
Or Reject The Saving Word Of Truth
Good In All Ages And Stages Of Human Life
All Flesh ... Living Or Dead
Will Be Judged 
By The Holy Word Which Speaks Life 
And 
Testifies Of The Character
The Faithfulness
The Holiness
The Creative Power
And
The Sacrificial Love Of Christ Jesus! 

We Have Free Will
And
We Have Free Choice
So Let's Choose ... For Love
And
With Certain Hope
To Use The Living Word 
To Grow In Grace Today!

Heaven Awaits The Faithful
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon!
We Are Nearing Home!

Brethren,

Where There Is Life There Is Hope
And
Because I Have Life
I Have Every Reason To Hope
In The Lord Jesus Christ
My Savior, My King
The Lord Of My Life
The Reason That I Can Sing:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I, My Cross Have Taken!

Please Be With Me So That I, By Sin

For Self

Be Not Shaken By Conflict

Stirred By Denial

Overwhelmed By Trial

Nor Overcome By Belial!

I Love You, My Master

My Creator, My Friend

My Hope, Help, Salvation

My God Eternal

Whose Love Knows No End!

I Beseech You, My Father

Please Help Me To You To Ever Draw Near

By Reading The Living Word

And Getting Close To You In Humble Prayer!

Thank You For The Myriad Gifts Of Love

Multitudes About Which I Know Nothing!

Thank You For Thinking Of Me

And Giving Me A Heart That Beats 

In Joyous Anticipation

Of One Blessed Day

Face To Face Seeing Thee!

I Am Thanking You!

I Am Blessing You!

I Am Giving Grateful Praise

And I, By Grace, Am Telling The Good News

That You Are Soon Coming:

I Look Forward, In Your Presence

To Taking My Rightful Place

A Blessed Gift From You

Whose Heart Is True!

I Am Striving!

I Am Walking!

I Am Working!

I Am Watching!

I Desire In You To Be Wise!

Please Help Me, Savior Beloved

To Not Ever Fall For Satan's Obvious Lies!

Thank You, Father

For Hearing

And Answering The Prayer Of Faith

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN!

Romancing The Stone ... Heart!

Self Satisfaction
Is
Perpetually Romancing Own Way!
Self Satisfaction
Is
Always Begging Own Way For A Play!
Self Satisfaction Never Works A Hard Day
Because
Self Satisfaction's Work Is Play The Devil's Way!

Self Satisfaction's Playground

Is

The Unregenerate Human Heart!

Own Way Is Unregenerate

And

 Thinks Nothing Of Playing Minnow

To Self Satisfaction's Shark ... Mind

Which Loves The Romance That Permits  

The Stone Heart To Become His

To Be Ground ... Down

And

Delivered To That Base-Minded Behemoth, Satan

Aka Hell Hound!

My Brother, My Sister

Now Enemy, Soon Friend

Listen To Me Carefully:

Get Thee Hence Unto Christ Jesus

And

Find There Your Heart's True Friend

With The Oil Of The Spirit

The Lamp Of The Word

The Bread Of Life ... Always Fresh

And

For Your Sin-Life 

The Cure!

Get A Grip ...

Don't Be A Double-Minded Doubter!

Don't Be By The Waves Of Strife Tossed About!

Trust The Living Word Of The Lord Jesus

And

Stop Drinking From Satan's Lying Water Spout

Which Requires You To Live Lie

Love Hate

Believe Fate

And

Turn Away From Sure Salvation

And

Run With Him All Along Broad Way

Unto Wide-Open Hell's Gate!

Don't Do It, I Beseech You!

Fate As A Fact Is Fake

Because

You Who Are Made In The Image Of The Living God

Have The Purchased Salvation

Which Blesses You With Soul Redemption

From The Result Of Damnable Sin!

Satan Is Damned-Forever Liar!

Don't Go Out On His Rotten Limb!

Almighty God Restores ...

Jesus Christ The Righteous ... Your Creator

Is 

Your Surety

Your Security

Your God, Priest, Advocate, King

And

He, It Is My Brethren

That To Us Is Everything!

He Is Way!
He Is Truth!

He Is Light!

He Is Life!

He Forgives!

He Blesses!

He Is Grace And Mercy Personified!

It Will Take An Infinite Ocean Of Ink To Write

And

It Will Take An Infinite Number Of Trees

To Make The Infinite Paper That Will Be Insufficient

To Recount ... On Our Behalf

His Blessed-Forever Infinite Good Deeds!

It Will Take Eternity To Tell!

It Will Take Eternity To Write!

It Will Take Eternity To Tell Our Savior-Friend

How He Does Our Longing Hearts Delight

But

That Is Only Possible

When We Believe

That It Is Truly Our Lord And SaviorJesus

Who Has Any Power

To Romance The Heart Of Stone

Because

His Love For Us Is Infinitely Real

And

In All Aspects Of Our Life

He Is The Real Tower Of Power

Who Will Never Before Wicked Satan

- Our Real Adversary -

Run In Shame And Cower In Horror!

Jesus Christ's Blessings Upon Us

Always, Ever, Comes

In A Latter Rain Shower!

Forget The Umbrella

Forget The Rain Coat

Just Open Your Heart

And

In All The Goodness Of Almighty God

Be Cleansed

Be Refreshed!

Get Yourself A Good Soak!

Brethren,

Come To Jesus Christ Who Saves

And

Get Yourself The Heart Of Flesh

That Will Not ... By His Great Grace

To Sin Cave!
