VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: EVIL: Name It And Shame It!

The Way Of Evil 

Is 

As Mesmerizing As The Eyes Of Snakes

And 

The Designs On Their Skins! 

There Is No Explanation Nor Excuse For Evil! 

There Is No Safe Way To "Play" With Evil 

And

There Is No Avoiding The Stain Nor Stench Of 

Having Been Enmeshed, Involved, With Evil! 

Evil Turns Life Upside Down And Backward! 

We Cannot Live Peacefully With Evil 

No Matter The Popular Word On The Street

In Movies

TV Shows

Books

And 

Role-Play Games! 

Beloved, 

Evil ... Just Like Sin

Must Be Properly Named 

And 

Shamed 

No Matter Who Is Doing It

And 

No Matter Why It Is Being Done!

Potiphar's Wife 

Tried To Get Patriarch Jacob-Israel's Beloved Son, Joseph

Their Purchased Slave

To Do Evil In The Ever-Present God's Sight: 

He Rejected Her

And 

Called Her Out On It! 

Joseph Remained Clean Before The Lord 

Even Though He Endured Unearned Disgrace

Much Suffering

And 

Unimaginable Sorrow! 

Our Lord Jesus ... The Judge Of All Flesh

Vindicated Joseph 

And

Elevated Him Above Said Potiphar 

And 

His Evil, Lying, Wife! 

Dear Ones, 

Evil, Like Lead, Sinks Under Its Own Weight! 

Cream Aka Goodness, Like The Sun

Rises Because Of Its Nature 

And

Does Its Appointed Work 

As Ordained By Its Maker! 

Let No One Deceive, Beguile, You: 

Right And Light Have No Midnight 

In Almighty God's All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Holy Sight! 

Avoid Even The Appearance Of Evil! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith's Gotta Work!

Heavenly Gifts Are Daily Given!
Faith, Amongst Them
Requires That We Use What We Have
And
Is That Treasure That We Need To Succeed
And
Is The Gift That We Need To Use
If
We Are Not To Go To Hell 
With Satan And His Angels
And
With That Thing Called Bre'k-Neck Speed!

Faith Without Corresponding Work
Is 

Dead ... Dead As A Door-Nail
And
There Is Not Anything That 
Anyone Can Do For Us Unless And Until
From The Hand Of The Gifter
We Substantially Take Our Fill
And
Start Walking Home ... To Our Father
Who Is In Heaven
That Place Of Rest 
That Is The Saved Man's Haven!

Get A Grip On Yourself ...

We Must Stop Partaking Of 
The Pharisee's Leaven Which Calls 
Faith, Foolish
Love, Cheap
Hope, Hellish
And

Unregenerated Self ... The Chief!

We Are Targets ... 

We Have Bullseye Targets

On Our Backs, Chests

Our Foreheads 

And

On Our Hands And Knees

And, Yet

The Most Efficient Bullseye

Is

The One Covering The Ear

The Covering The Eye

Those Recording Devices Of A Man

That Take Into The Unwary Heart 

The Known-Demoralizing Lie!

The Devil, Satan

The Dragon, The Serpent

That Snake In The Garden Was A Talker

Glib ... Even Unto This Day

Reaching Into The Mind Of Man
Through His Ear, Through His Eye

And

Endeavoring There To Stay

To Play Footsie

To Run Foot-Loose

Mangling

The Certain Truth

Hopeful

To Make A Miniscule Breach

And

Thereby Cause One To Relax Their Hold 

On Him Who Guarantees

Eternal Youth! 

Know The Right ... 

Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of Almighty God! 

Doubt Comes By Hearing The Word Of Satan

Our Accuser

The Adversary Of Our Souls

That Known Murderer

Who Desires Us To Worship Him

And Thereby
Steal The Prerogatives Of The Holy
The Eternal

The Living, Blessing, Giving One God! 

Watch Unto Pray ... 

Guard Your Heart

For Out Of It Come The Issues Of Life! 

Fix Your Eyes' Focus

And

Focus Totally On Christ! 

Unstop Your Ears

And

Tune Your Antennae

To The Frequency Of Christ

Who, For Your Purchased Soul

Personally, Personally Cares! 

Get Your Soul-House In Order ...

Live For The Life-Giver! 

Walk With The God Wise! 

Speak As A Saint Of The One God Holy

And

Do Not Mother Eve's Error Foolishly Reprise! 

Do Not Choose To Do As Daddy Adam Did

Preferring To Share The Fate Of 
The Disobedient One Loved

Instead Of Obeying The Lover Of Your Soul

Who Has Prepared A Place For You

In The Father's House

In The Heavenly Realm Of Love! 

Stand Up In The Faith Of Jesus!

Rest Upon His Word!

Permit Yourself To Be Influenced By Holy Angels

And

Turn Away From The Ways

The Means

The Pleasures ... The Perversions

Of The Wayward, Wily, Willful

Wastrel, Wandering, Wild-Goat Herd

Which Has Been Had By Him Who Hates

Who Loves To Skate 

Around Truth

Around Righteousness 

Offering That Which Does Not Bless

Does Not Confer Eternal Success 

But 
Stresses, Strands

And

Lands The Unwary Human

In The Barren Land

Where There Is No Light

No Love

No Sweet Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 

No Bread Of Life

And

No Water Of Life

But

Provides Ample Supplies Of Strife, Sorrow

Gnashing Of Teeth

And Inevitably To Follow

Damnation

And

Second Death

Which Is Eternal Separation From The Holy God! 

That Is The Known Unrepentant Sinner's Reward! 

Choose Your Radio Station Carefully ...

Do Not Listen To The Words Of Satan

The Agile, Adept, Adaptable, Known God-Fraud

Nor The Words Of His Minions

Who Are Attuned To His Ways

And
Proudly Pleased With Their Putrifying Profits

Unmindful Of The Facts That

Soon Comes The Day Of The Lord Christ

The Day Of Small Things

The Great Judgment Day

The Day Of The Redeemed! 

Thereafter, Truth Is  Forever Esteemed! 

Hold The Fort Of Faith ... 

Let Your Gift Of Daily Faith Work ... For You! 

Bless The Lord Christ With Your Faith 

Your Trust, Your Hope, And Your Belief 

As He Blesses You With Righteousness
Goodness And Truth! 

The Bottom Line ... 

Give The Lord Christ Your Will

So That He Makes Your Way Plain: 

Keep Your Hand In The Hand Of Mercy!

Keep Your Gait In Step With Grace!

Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Hill Zion

And

Your Hope In Him Who Is Just And Faithful 

Who Will Never Your Faith In Him

Ever, Ever, Ever Disgrace! 

Jesus Christ's Heart Is True

And

He Is The Truth

And

He Lives To Bless Me And You! 

The King Is Coming! 

Get Washed 

And

Get And Stay Ever Ready! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Living Life By License!?!

Wise Atheist
Sure Infidel
AND
Faithful Apostate
Live Off The Living God's Dime
AND
They Don't Care 

That Almighty God Sees What They Do
AND
They Don't Fear 

What The Ever-Present God Will Do
AND
They Willingly
Wittingly
Arrogantly Share
Their Idea Of "Intelligent Truth" With The Seeking Masses
Unmindful Of The Fact That
They Are Causing Souls Seeking The Creator God
A Large Weighty Cumbersome Load
In Sorrow ... To Bear!

That Is Not Fair!

Why Don't They Care?!

Why Should They Care?!
They, In The Things Of Earth
Have Stores And Stock!
They Live Like Lions
AND
They Don't Fear To Block
Pouring Out Their Rhetoric
Their Idea Of Living Truth
AND
Saving Right
At Which Wily Satan
Roars And Racks Back
In Well-Pleased Delight!

I'll Tell You Truth ...

Less-Counting God 

Is 

The Domain Of Fools!
Denying The Eternal God's Sovereignty 

Marks Men As Really Dull Tools
AND
Those Who Don't Repent
Will Never In The King's Crown Be Jewels
For
They Do Not See The Need For Humility Of Spirit
Nor The Necessity For True-Truth
Because
Arrogance Is Their Bread

Stale Moldy
Rock-Hard
AND
They Don't Seem To 

Or Refuse To Realize
That It Will Cause Them
In This Fleeting Life
To Daily Break The Much-Needed Against-Sin Tooth!

I Guess They're Going To Gum It!

I Guess They Will, Too
For
Folly Is A Fragrance For
Those Who Choose To Do Their Own Do!

When Men Throw Off All Restraints
By Dismissing Just Laws
AND
Righteous Commandments
AND
Belittle Jesus Christ's Faith 

AND

His Followers Faithfulness

AND
Turn Away From The Living God 

AND

The Blessing God's Guidance

You Can Be Certain-Sure

That What Follows
IS
Life Lived ... By License!

You Have The License

Now State How ... You Will Travel!

As For Me
I Choose To Live Life By Faith ... Not Feeling

Lest Life Unravels!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Blesses!

He Gives Rest

AND

All That Is Required

Is Our Willingness To Believe

So That We May Be Blessed!

Take Truth ... In The Inward Parts!

Hold Truth ... Don't Throw It Away!

Bless Truth ... It Is Your Saving Grace

And
Without It

You Will Never Physically Touch
The Lord Christ
Nor
Range About

Now-Unknown Space
Whilst Living
The Redeemed Ones' Blessed Life!

**--**--**--**--**

Put Satan In His Place

And

You Will Never
Make Shipwreck Of Jesus' Faith

Nor

Be A Cast-Out
Damned
Disgrace!

TRUST ALMIGHTY GOD: Doubt Is The Devil!

I Will Not Accuse God ... Foolishly!
I Will Tell The Story ... Truthfully!
I Will Sing God's Praises ... Joyfully
For
I Have Been, By Jesus Christ, Saved ... Sacrificially!

Doubting The Word Of God
Laid Me Out Cold
AND
I Became A Paid In Member Of
The Wilful Sinners Association
A Prominent Part Of The High Society Of
The Wayward-To-Damned Goat Herd!

I Was Strong ... Actually Weak!
I Was Bold ... Actually A Pip-Squeak
AND
I Was Sure ... Actually Uncertain
That I Did Not Need To Know Jesus Christ
The Great One Called The Door To Eternal Life!

I Had Keys!
I Opened Doors!
I Was Sinfully Lubricated

AND
I Had Felt Needs
So What Need Had I

Of Yet Another Door
When I Wouldn't Have Enough Time
To Fully Enjoy This Mortal Life?!

I Have Places To Go!
I Have Faces To See!
I Have Tracings To Make
AND
I Was Partying With The Ungodly
Until
The Day
The Life-Traffic Light Said
All At One Time:

STOP!

             CAUTION!

                                  GO!

AND

My Heart Said:

No!!

What!?!?

It Was Reckoning Time!

AND
The Savior Jesus Was Beckoning Me! 

I Was Going To A Lime
BUT
The Date Was Obviously - Now - Not Fine!

Why Now?!It Is The Time!

Why Here?!It Is The Place?!

Why You?!I Am Grace
AND
Mercy For You Holds No Disgrace!

The Conversation Was Long
BUT

Oh, So, Short! 

The Effect Was Lasting
AND
By God's Grace
Everlasting!

Mercy ... Free
AND
Grace ... Available Always To Me
Opened My Eyes
Unstopped My Ears
Broke Open My Heart
AND
Turned My Wayward Feet
To Walking The Right Way
AND
Away From The Dark
The Spaces That Leave Marks
Deep In The Soul
AND
Unto The Heart That Loves The Soul

Unto The Heart That Is Light
That Is Love
That Is Peace
That Is Rest
That Is Blessing
That Is Shelter
That Is The Life Of The Blessed
Unto To The Heart
That Is Now AND Forever
My Home
The Door Of My Salvation
The Very Door
Which In Times Past
I Had Studiously Ignored!

I Am Ashamed Of Yesterday!
I Am Humbled - Not Proud -
That I Have A Tomorrow
For
Pride Is The Path
That Brought Sin Unto Man
AND
Pride Has Not A Place
In The Living Kingdom
Of The Son Of Man!

I Desire Jesus Christ
Not The Pleasures Of The Flesh!
I Desire Christ
My Peace And My Rest
The Only One
In Whom
My Soul, Regenerated
Is Forever Blessed!

This IS The Secret
Of
Man's Only Success!

Don't Choose To Be A Worldling!
Choose To Believe!

Choose To Be By The Living God Blessed!

Trust Ye In The Lord ... Forever!

Don't Let Doubt

Cause You

From

Heaven

To Be Kept ... Out!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : I Deny Satan + PRAYER : Lord, Help Me To Be Like Christ

Why Would I
Why Should I
Sell Gold
To Buy Silver?!

Why Would I Sell Gain
To Get Loss?!

Why Would I Forego
The Water Of The River Of Life
To Get Brimstone From The Lake Of Fire
That Not Even The Hand Of Mercy
From It
Will Me Take?!

Am I To Be So Consumed
With Buying And Selling
To Get Unprofitable Gain
That I Would Keep Sin's Stain
AND
Ignore Christ's Pain
So That I May Live
A Life Profane
Dancing With The Devil
Completely Wrapped Up In HIS Chains?!

No! No!
A Thousand Times: "NO!"

I Believe The Words Of The Master!
I Am Bathed In The Innocent One's Blood
AND
I Choose To Accept The Gift Promised Before
AND
Unveiled
Realized
On This Side of The Flood!

I Deny Satan
The Liar Supreme!
I Accept Soul Salvation
For On Faith
Jesus Christ's Blood
Washes Me Clean!

By God's Great Grace
I Accept The Conditions:

Faith
Belief
Love
Trust
Obedience
Confession
Repentance
Baptism
Hope
Endurance
No Doubt
Never To Fables Turning Aside
Walking
Watching
Working
In The Secret Place Of Prayer Do I Abide
As I Wait ... Patiently
For My Faith To Become Sight
For My Test To Be My Testimony
For My Heart Of Flesh
For The Good Work In Me To Be Completed
For My Soul To Be Anchored In The Lord
For My Change To Come
For My Crown Made Of Heaven's Pure Gold!

PRAYER:

Most Gracious Lord, 

Thou Knowest All Things!

Thou Knowest I Love Thee

Bless Me With The Blessing

That Binds Me Ever

For Eternity

Unto Only Thee

For 

In Thee

I Am ... Free!

Free Indeed!

Help Me To Not Turn Aside To Fables! 

Help Me To Daily Come To The Decision

That Thine IS The Only Word!

Help To Not Lean To Temptation

AND

In Truth

To Share The Blessed Word!

Help Me To Be Like Christ

In Thought Word And Deed

And

Clean Me And Heal Me

And

Bless Me, Lord

With Spiritual Eyes And Ears

A Clean Tongue

And

A Pure Heart 

And

To Ever Know And Accept Truth

So That I Will Not Fall

For The Beautiful Babylonian Garments

That Are Nothing More Than

Demonic Device!

You Are The Almighty God

Faithful

Eternal Holy Just

Forgiving Welcoming

Blessing Providing Sustaining

And

Ever True

And

With Humility

I Longingly

Hopefully 

Bow Before You!

May Your Grace

Be Ever Sufficient For Me

For I Desire To Reside In

My Own By-Love-Prepared Place! 

I Love You, Lord
And
I Desire

- In Peace -

To See My Jesus' Face

The Very Jesus

In Whose Matchless Name

I Humbly Plead

The Very Jesus

Who Took To Himself

My Shame And Disgrace!

AMEN.

FOR YOUR SELF: Think, Think, Think!

In This Day Of Liberality
It Is An Offence
- It Appears -
To Offend The Powers That Be
For
It Seems
That To Go Against The Party's Best Line
Is Taken As A Gross Affront
To That, That Wants To Be
- But Is Not -
Lord God Divine!

Unto All Men
By Sheer Dint Of Birth
Is The Right
To Do
AND
To Choose
AND
Man's God-Given Free Will
Is Not
Decanter-Dispensed
Premium
Mind-Numbing Booze
Distributed Only To Those
With Reach
Grasp And Hold
Who Are
Connected And Engaged
AND
Not Given To Public Burping
Or Picking Of The Nose!

To All
AND
To Sundry
Listen Well As I Declare:

I Do Not Have To Agree With You To Like You

Neither Does My Disagreeing With You

Say That I Hate You!

I Was Born By Myself!

I Think For My Self!

Group-Think Is Not

An Interest Of Mine

So

Please Have Me Excused

For

My Mind Is My Own

Compliments Of

The Living Holy God

True Just 

Faithful

Ever-Giving

And

Eternally Kind

And

I Do Not Feed Into

The Take-Up Popular-Friend

Fire-Rage

'Cause I Don't Want To Walk Alone

Game Tone!

To Those Who Are Faithful Christians Called 
You Should Be Made Aware
That At This Time Of The End
You'd Better Know The Source Of
The Voice That You Choose To Hear!

The Master Requires All
To Stand In Truth
AND
Walk In Light
Doing No Unrighteousness
As We 
For Our Own Soul's Salvation Fight!

The Multitude 
Is
Inevitably Wrong
Because
Men's Lusts Have Might
Even Though
Their Cause Is Wrong
AND
They Appear Strong!

I Urge All
To Dare To Be A Daniel
A Moses Firm
An Elijah On Fire
Or The Baptist Called John
Even If It Means
They Hand You A Head-Carrying Platter!

This Is Not The Time
To Waffle In Your Belief!
Stand Firm On The Truth
In Jesus Christ's Faith
AND
In The Great Day
You Won't Be Branded
A Doubled-Minded
Cast-Off
Lost-To-Salvation
Damned-For-Eternity
There-Is-No-Place-For-You-In-God's-Kingdom
Disgrace!

Think On Jesus Christ!

Talk With Jesus Christ!

Trust Jesus Christ!

And, Finally

Live With Jesus Christ!

Oh, For A Teachable Spirit! - A Prayer

Oh To Be Teachable!

Oh, To Be Meek!

Oh, To Be Willing To Be Instructed

And

Christ's Faith To Boldly Seek!

Unto Thee, Lord

I Lift Up My Eyes

To Gaze Upon Your Majesty

Even As Sin

I Decry

For

I Desire Your Blessing

And

 My Sin I'm Confessing!

I Desire In The Everlasting Kingdom

My Own Promised Place

So, Please

Father

In Mercy

Let Me Not Hanker After Things

That Tend To My Disgrace!

I Subscribe Not

To Wants Many!

I Acknowledge Of Needs

Few!

I Long For The White Robe

Of Christ's Righteousness

And

I Plead Lord

Let Me Not Lean

To My Own Understanding

So That Satan

Can't Cause Me

From Your Truth

To Be Askew!

I Am Your Child, Lord

And

I Accept Your Offer Of Salvation

Which Puts You

Under Obligation

To Teach Me

Lead Me

Guide Me

Correct

Feed Me

Get Me Safely Home

For I Commit To You

My Will

My Way

Praying Ever

In Holy Faith

To See You

With My Own Eyes

In The Day

When Faith

Becomes Face!

I've Been To The River

And

I Have Been Baptisted!

Please Pour Out Your Spirit

Upon Me

And

Don't Let Me

Prophesy

Smooth Things

Nor

Comfortable Lies!

I Am Leaning On You, Lord!

Let Me Your Ways Learn!

Let Me Be A Faithful Witness

And

Not Your Truth Spurn!

I Desire To Hear

"Faithful Servant!

Welcome!

Well Done!"

And

Pray That My Jesus

In Great Glory

Will Soon Come!

In Jesus Christ's Name

I Humbly Plead

And

In Confidence Stand!

AMEN.
