HAPPY SABBATH: Oh, To Have A Discerning Heart!










 
Discernment, A Discerning Heart Aka Mind 
Is 
The Gift That Almighty God Gave To King Solomon 
At Solomon's Request! 

Request Your Own! 

Discernment 
Is 
The Ability To Wisely Judge
To Clearly See The Difference Between Good And Bad Things 
Using Godly Wisdom 
And 
That Beautiful Hand-Maiden, Understanding
To Make A Good And Sound Judgment Call! 

Beloved, 

Everybody Is A Judge
A Critic
An Expert 
And
Everybody Is Wrong ... Dead Wrong
Unless Jesus Christ ... By His Holy Spirit
Has Got The Wheel 
And
Is In Control! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Cease From Being Everybody 
And 
Dare, With Humility, To Be Somebody
Aka Someone Whom The Lord May Use In His Service 
To Bless Others 
And
In So Doing, Bless Ourselves! 

Let Us Not Just Use Our Heads To Wear Hats
Or Only Use Our Eyes To Just Oogle The Pretties! 

May The Great God Of Heaven And Earth 
Enliven Our Lives 
And 
Enlighten Our Minds And Eyes 
So That We May See, Love, Live, And Share The Truth 

And

Deny And Defy The Father Of Lies
Despising His Lies And His Way Of Life


And

Let Us Dare To Show Others The Lord Of Life 
And
His Known Holy
Ever Good
Always Glorious Way! 

Spiritual Discernment ... 

Detect
Differentiate
And 
Discriminate 
In Favor Of The Divine Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lawful Children + PRAYER: Please Grant Discernment And Wisdom, Dear Lord!

 Psalm 94:12-13 kjv Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord ...


Adversity
Aka Troubles, Poverty, Enemies And Sorrows
Is 
A Guaranteed Entity In The Life Of Man 
But
We Who Are Loved, Corrected
And 
Taught By The Lord 
Are Blessed, Sheltered And Protected Through It! 

The Chastisement ... The Rod Of Correction
The Guidance Of The Lord 
Is 
For His Children 
Because 
Whom He Loves He Corrects 
And 
Teaches The Right Way To Walk! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Resist The Lord: Rest In The Lord! 
Correction May Not Be Pleasant 
At The Time Administered 
But 
The End Result For A Child Of God Motivated Thereby 
Is 
Rest And Peace! 

Please Humble Yourself 
And 
Be Obedient Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
Who Will Lift You In The Day Appointed!
The End Of The Willful Disobedient
- The Enemies Of God -
Who Walk Presumptuously Wild And Wayward
Is 
Damnation! 

Give Unfeigned Praise 
And 
Utter Thankful Prayers That 
Our Father Recognizes Our New Birth 
And 
Calls Us His Lawful Children, Blessed Forever! 



PRAYER:

Father, 
I Pray For Discernment
To Understand What I See Happening
And
What I Hear Around Me
And
I Pray For Wisdom, Dear Lord
To Do What Will Please You And Bless Me! 

Help Me, My Father
Not To Follow The Multitude
Not To Walk In The Ways Of The Unwise
The Ways Of Those Who Follow
And
Proselytize
The Known-Demonic Device! 

You Have Given Unto Me
Free Will And Free Choice 
And
The Power Of A Voice
And
You Have Given Me Your Living Word
To Guide Me Toward Your Presence
Where I May In Joy Rejoice! 
Please Help Me
Please Guide Me
Please Protect Me 
And
As And When Necessary
Upbraid Me And Chastise Me
For I Am Not A Friend Of The World
But Your Very Own Child
A Servant
A Student
A Willing Worker For My King
And
Desire Above All Else
To Dwell With You
In The Land Where Night Does Not
The Light Ever Darken! 

Father, 
Please Grant Unto The Gift Of 
Willing Obedience 
To See It Not As A Sacrifice
Or A Self-Denial
But As A Privilege
Given To Your Obedient Children
And
Which Leads Always To Our Blessing
From Your Holy Hand! 

Teach Me Your Way, Oh Lord
Keep Me Faithful
And
Lead Me In The Way Everlasting!
I Love You, Lord
And
I Thank You For Hearing
And
For Answering Humble Prayers
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That I Pray And Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Priests ... Robbing The Pot And God's People!?!




Jesus Christ Was No Super Star!
He Is The Savior Of Man!
He Was Born Where Animals Lived
AND
His Bed Was That From Which Animals Were Fed
BUT
Those Who Are His Priests Today
Are Rich In Earthly Goods
Because
They Are Selfish
Covetous
Gluttonous
AND
Decidedly Profane!
Where Is The Garden-Variety Shame?!

Jesus Christ Came To Serve!
They Desire To Be Served!


Jesus Christ Offers Man Eternal Riches!
They Acquire From The Poor Man Earthly Riches!


Jesus Christ Blesses The People!
They Desire By The People To Be Blessed!


Jesus Christ Desires To Save Man!
They Desire The Savings Of Man!


Their Way Is Counter To The Cross!
Theirs Is A Life That Will See Them Soon Lost!
They Are Priests Popular
Connected
With Reach Grasp And Hold
BUT
Unfortunately For Them
For Earthly Gains
They Have The Kingdom Of God Sold
By Surrendering To Sin
AND
Delivering Up To Damnation
Their Very Own Souls!
Where, Brethren, Is The Win?!

Misery Likes Company
AND
Bitterness Likewise
AND
All These Profane Priests
Always Have Working Alibis:

  • The Devil Made Them Do It
  • There Be Soul-Ties
  • Cross-Carrying Is Too Heavy And Too Inconvenient

AND


  • They Are Just Weak Men Who Fall For Convenient Lies

What Is The Truth ...?!

Serving Their Lusts
Out Of The Offerings Of God
As Though They Are Serving Dunghill Deities
Is 
How Many Priests And Pastors
Are In Apparent Prosperity Standing
Before The Church Of God Today!

That Is A Profanity?!

They're Running With The Fraud!

Do These Workers For Almighty God
Not Remember High Priest Eli's Sons?!

Don't They Believe The Living Word Of The Eternal God?!

Are They Not Afraid
Of The Judgment For Sin Prepared?!

Are They Of Damnation Not Scared?!

Would That Those Serving
The Living God
Remember The Prophet-Judge Samuel
AND
Live Like Him
In Order To Receive 
The Faithful Man Of God's Reward
By Walking And Working
True 
To The Call That They Have Received
AND
Stop Living Like The Very Devil
Seeking
The People Of God To Deceive!

Almighty God Is Not Mocked!

Almighty God
Is Neither Deaf Dumb Nor Blind
Nor Is He Surprised
When The So-Called People Of Faith
Do Things Seriously Asinine!

Working For The Lord
Gives No Churchman
A Free Pass
Nor Does It Give The Offense
A Little Touch Of Class!

Sin Is Sin: There's No Fit Excuse!
Sin Defiles The Doer
AND
It Is Made Worse
When The Things Given
The Things Dedicated 
To The Living God
Are Maliciously Abused
To Profit The Slow Belly
The Belly Of The Dog
Who Is Never Satisfied
Who Is Never Contented
Who Is Always Wanting Just A Little Bit More
AND
To Get It
Behaves Like A High-Horse 
Like A Boar Hog!

This Behavior
Is 
Idolatry
When A Man Sets Up His Throne
Above That Of The Creator God
In Whom We Have Life
AND
Our Very Beings
AND
Get Our Daily Bread
AND
Without Whom
- It Is Certain -
No Flesh Would Be Fed
AND
All Now Living Would Be Then, Well
Dead!

Please Do Not Put Your Flesh Hook
Into The Pot
Until After The Living God Has Had His Share
AND
It Is Advisable
That You Do Not
Encourage Wrongdoing
By Showing Laymen
That You Do Hold God In Godly Fear
Because
The Holy Watchers Are Always Watching
AND
Their Ink-Horns Of Ink
Never Run Out
AND
They Don't Get Writer's Cramp
Nor Writer's Block
AND
Their Eye-Glass Edition
Is One That Will Never Come Out!

I Charge You ...

Look To Your Own Soul!
Good Trees Bear Good Fruit!
Look To Your Own Souls!
Don't Be A Hophni Phineas Judas
Ever-Hungry For Easy-Earned Loot!

Be Contented 
With What Almighty God Has Provided!
Do Not Let Greed Offer You
That Which Is Cursed Gain
AND
Do Not Tear Down The People Of God
Because You
- A Son Of Belial -
Have Not Common Decency
Nor Even Plain Shame!

Brethren,

All Men Are The Creation Of God
BUT
Not All Men Are The Children Of God!

Be Very Careful Who You Follow!
Be Very Careful Of Those Whose Company You Keep!
Be Very Careful To Take Your Cues From The Good Book!
Be Very Careful Whose Bank Balance It Is At Which You Want A Look!


BOOK IT:

Neither Beauty
Power
Fortune
No Fame
Make A Man
- In The Eyes Of Christ Jesus -
Truly Rich!


All That Glitters Is Not Gold!
All That Is Purchased Is Not Necessarily What Should Be Sold!
All That You Long For May Not Turn Out To Be Sweet!
AND
The Very Thing That You Despise 
Is 
What May Lift You Up From Off Your Knees
AND
Your Soul In Righteousness Keep!

Jesus Christ Saves!
He Gave His Life For All Mankind!
Jesus Christ Saves!
He Did Not Promise Earthly Treasure
To Any Man!
Jesus Christ Saves!
He Asks Us To Take Hold Of The Holy Hand!
Jesus Christ Saves!
He Promises The Enduring-All Believer
Perfect Peace And Rest
AND
A Prepared Mansion
In. Beulah. Land!

I Beseech You ...

For Jesus Christ Alone
Take Your Stand
For
He, It Is
Who
For Your Sin
- By Personal Sacrifice -
Did Atone!

Walk Right
On The Straight And Narrow Way
To The Living Kingdom
Even If You Walk Alone
For 
He Who Promised Is Faithful
AND
He Is Waiting
To Welcome You To The Everlasting Home!

Sharpen Your Powers Of Discernment!
Walk Through The Living Word
For The Safety Of Your Own Soul
With
A Fine Tooth Comb!

Doubt Deals Death And Destruction!





God Says:
"Have Faith!"
Scientific Man Stresses:
"Indulge Doubt!"

God Says:
"Walk Not Be Sight!"
"You'd Better Recognize!"
Worldly-wise Man Boldly, Insultingly, Shouts!

Almighty God Made Man!
Finite Man Makes I-Seeing Gods!
God Says:
"Follow Me!"
Evolutionary Man Says:
"I Can't - Won't - Follow What My Eyes Can't See!"

God Says:
"Faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen!"

Faithless Man Says:
"Show Me ...
The Money
The Man
The Method
The Manner
The Means
The Modes
The Might
The Mold
The Majesty
The Ministry
The Misery
The Picked Cherry
The Soul's Sole
AND THEN
Just Maybe
I Will Be On "It!" Sold!

God Says:
"Come!"
Self-Made Man Says:
Sure ... After I See You
Feel You
Taste You
Touch You
AND
Hear You
In Full Cinematic Mode!
Unless There Is A Full Hollywood-Sanctioned Presentation
A Blockbuster Blow-Out
I Proffer
You Are Neither Worthy
Nor Worthwhile!
You're Wanting!
Wishful Thinking!
I Shall You Pass By!
Bye!  Bye!
I'm Out!

Alas! Alas ...

The Day Is Coming
AND
It's Already Here
When Men
Through Their Over-Wrought Eyes
Shall Be Led
By The Damned Devil
To The Unbelievers' Despair
When Those Who Saw
With The Blind Eyes Of Faith
Shall Hear
See
AND
Rise Up
To Meet Their Longed-For Lord
AND
God
In The Open Atmosphere!

The Wilfully Sighted
Shall Be Blinded By Glorious Light!
The Blind-Faith Faithful
Shall See Their Hope Realized
AND
In Joyous Celebration Cheer
AND
In That Moment
The Cry Of Despairing Hearts Shall Go Up:

Deceived! Deceived!
Rocks! Mountains!
Fall On Us!
Hide Us
For
The Wrath Of The Lamb Is Come
And
Our Doubt Has Cost Us
The Glorious Lot!
Deceived! Deceived By Satan's Own Hand
We Seeing, Saw Not
And
For This
We Shall Never Enter
Faith's Promised Land!

God Gave Eyes
BUT
He Asks Us To See Him 
Through The Believer's Love In Our Hearts
BY
Trusting His Word
AND
Not Worrying About
What He Has Not To Us Disclosed!

Faith Walks And Works!
Doubt Drags
Deceives
AND
Delivers Disaster!
Just "Ask" A Moses Hebrew
To Tell You Of 
Their Desert
AND
Promised Land
Odyssey Of Disaster!

Faith Earns!
Doubt Doesn't Discern!

*********

Doubt Is What
Faith Is Not!
Doubt Is
A Whole Lotta Talk
Which
At The Thought Of Walking
Balks!

*********

Trust God!
He Will Deliver You
AND
For You!
