VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: How Are You Using Your Words!?!

 

Have You Noticed That Those Who Indulge In Bullying Behavior 

Use Their Words To Maliciously Hurt People ... Without Justification

And 

Then Excuse Their Unkind, Often Vile, Words By Saying That 

They Were "Just Being Honest!?!" 

I Wonder If They Know, Or Even Care, That 

This Is Satan's Way Of Operating 

Which He Uses To Try To Convince Us That 

Our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ 

Would Never Want Us In His Kingdom 

Because 

Of Our Obviously Besmirched, Known Defiled

Truly Degenerate Characters!?! 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Do A Deep Think

A Thorough Search Of Scripture ... And Self

And 

See If The Lord Would Or Has Ever Treated Us This Way

Or Would Want Us To Treat Others In Such A Wretched 

And 

UnChristlike Fashion! 

Let Us Remember, By The Eternal God's Great Grace, That 

Love, The Love Of Almighty God

Is 

The Lubricant 

And

The Currency Of The Caring Known Eternal Kingdom! 

Let Us Endeavor From This Moment, From This Very Day

To Choose To Speak The Truth 

With The Love Of God Leading! 

Peace! 

SHUN EVIL: Don't Indulge Rebellion!

Despite Popular Belief 

And 

Self-Absorbed Inclination

There Is No Profit ... No Benefit

In Indulging In Rebellion: 

Rules Are Not Made To Be Broken! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Asking "Why?" Or "What For?" 

About A Particular Rule 

But

There Is A Real Problem With Deciding In Your Own Mind That 

"Rules Are For Fools!" 

And Then 

Daring To Tell Any And All Listeners

"Nobody Can Tell Me What To Do!" 

Let's All Take Heed To The Warning 

So That We May, By Choice Through Grace, Be Blessed 

And 

Saved Into The Eternal Kingdom! 

Please Remember That 

Our Bodies Must Follow Rules 

If 

We Are To Remain Alive 

And

Never Forget That Satan ... Who Inspires Rebellion

Must Follow The Living God's Rules 

Even Though He Roundly Despises Their Stated Limits! 

Let Us Who Love Our Dear Jesus 

Choose To Indulge In The Most Perfect Form Of Heartfelt Worship 

Which Is Willing And Ready Obedience To His Will

His Way

His Laws

And

His Judgments And Precepts 

Which Give Us Open Access To All Of His Promises 

Known Sure, Secure And Blessed Forever! 

Please, I Beseech Us All, Do Not Follow 

The Wayward, Willful, Multitude 

And

Do Known Evil! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Rebellion Leads To Destruction And Death

But

Obedience Leads To Eternal Life 

In The Perfection Of Our Almighty God's Peace And Joy! 

Roundly Reject Rebellion

Against

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

The True And Living Holy God

Who, Alone, Cleanses From Every Sin 

And

Saves, Seals

And

Eternally Blesses!!

BROKEN CISTERNS AND BLIND GUIDES: Best Life ... Now!?!

On The Scales Of Decision Are 
Man-Made Best Life Now 

And

Everlasting Life With The Lord!
How Are You Living!?! 

Any Of Us Who Name Jesus Christ As Savior, Lord And God 

And

Has Plans To Live Their Best Life Now 

Is 

Most Assuredly Making Plans To Personally Purchase 

An All-Expense Paid, Executive Class
One-Way Guaranteed Ticket To Destination Hell! 

We Are Not Called To Salvation

To Live In Willing Obedience

To Take Up Our Cross 
And
Follow Christ 

To Then Live Sumptuously, Carefree
And
Wickedly Luxuriating In Sin 

And 

Call It Our Best Life! 

If This World And Its Excesses 

Is 

Our Best Life

Christ's Christianity 

Is 

A Failed State 

And 

Almighty God ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 

Is 

A Liar 

And

He Is In League With Satan! 

Light And Darkness Do Not Cooperate! 

Satan Is Of The Condemned Class
And
Jesus Christ Can't Lie
So That Boat Done Sink! 

Our Best Life 

Is 

To Come! 

Our Life Here

Is 

Training Ground

School 

And 

Hospital! 

You Should Know ...

Our Best Life Starts When Jesus Comes 

After

We Have Finished School
And

Completed Our To-Heaven Training 

And 

He Takes Us Home From Hospital-Earth 

After 

We Have Been By Him 
- The Great Physician -

Physically Healed Of Sin And Death

And 

Made Immortal And Incorruptible! 

Earth Is Temporary! 

Christ's Kingdom Is Eternal! 

Which One Would You Say Truly Has The Best Life For You!?! 

Pray!

Be Honest!
Ask For The Wisdom Freely Offered To All! 

Obey The Counsels Of Christ
And

Serve The Creator 
And Not 
The Lying Creatures

Who Live For And To Pleasure Self! 

Truth Is Free: Pray

And

Be At Peace With Almighty God!

The Broken Cisterns Of The World

Don't Hold Clean Water

And

The Blind Guides

Will Lead You Into A Ditch!

PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, For The Day's Provision ...!

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

As In The World, I Follow Thee!

Grant Me The Blessing

The Peace

The Rest

And Bless Me With All Blessing

So That I Shall In The Eternal Kingdom

Take Up My Prepared Place!

I Give You All Praise!

*****

Heavenly Father,

I Come Before You Thankful

And Grateful That I Can Appear Before The Holy God

Without Fear

To Offer Up Prayers, Praise

And Make My Petitions 

And Just To Be Able To Rest In Thee!

Thank You For This Day's Provision!

Thank You For The Gifts Of Love!

Thank You For Your Personal Sacrifice

Given For Me

So That I May Bask Freely In Your Love!

I Do Not Ask A Boon For Me In This Moment, Lord

But I Ask It, Lord

For Those Who Mourn

Those Anticipate A Mourning

Those Who Lives Are Being Torn Apart

Or Have Been Torn Apart By Violence

By Fire, Flood

Drugs, Religious Persecution

And Even For Those Whose Lives

Are Being Torn Apart By Their Own Hands

Because They Know Not The Lord Christ!

Have Mercy Upon Us!

We Need Our Savior, Father

And I Pray That You Will Open Our Eyes

And Remove That Which Is Causing Our Blindness

And Help Us To See Jesus Christ As He Is

With His Outstretched Hand Reaching Out To Us!

Please Grant Unto Us The Strength To Grasp And Hold

That High And Holy Hand So That We May Be Blessed And Saved!

Father, Please Help Us To Help Ourselves

For We Have No Help But You!

Day Is Dying!

Night Is Calling!

Satan And His Minions Are Upping Their Game In The Fight!

Pity Us Who Believe, Love And Trust You

And Help Us To Be Obedient Always

So That We May Achieve The Purchased Victory Over Sin

And Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home

Where All Is Joy And Peace

Because

Jesus Christ Has Already Paid Our Price

And For Our Sins Sacrificially Atoned!

Please Accept Our Offering Of Prayer

And Grant Us Our Few Petitions

For We Ask All In The Precious Name Of Jesus Christ

The Only One Righteous!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, We Ask a Boon!

Father,

I Am Grateful

My Soul Is Well Blessed

My Body Is Fed

And

In You

I Have Sweet Peace And Rest!

I Look All Around

I Hear A Bird's Call

I Am Touched By A Cool Breeze

And

I Feel The Rain As It Falls!

I Take The Living Word On My Tongue

And

It Pleasures My Taste

Filling My Heart Mightily

And

Pointing Me Away

From Sin And Disgrace!

Again, And Again

I Taste Of The Pleasure

That To The Willing Soul You Provide

And

I Am Satisfied

That In Obedience To Your Word

That I Will Live E'er In Christ's Faith I Die!

Father, 

Please Remember Your Children

Walking On The To-Zion Road

And

Bless Them To Hold Truth Dear

And

Never Setting It Down

For Perishable Gold!

Lift Up The Tired Feet

Hold Up The Weary Head

Comfort The Brokenhearted

And

Guard The Fallen Saint In The Dusty Bed!

Pity The Pariah

Strengthen The Resolve

Of

The Faithful Perceived Weak

And

Judge Between The Wicked And The Good

And

Humble The Proud

Who Trample On The Meek!

And, Lord, 

I Pray For A Boon

For Your People Today:

Please Keep Us Faithful

Fervently Prayerful

Vigilantly Watchful

Trustingly Waiting

And

Committedly Working

For The True Spiritual Prosperity

For

The Dark Night Of Distress Is Nigh Unto Us!

Please Harken Unto Our Hearts' Call

And 

Save Us - You Promised -

Into Your Eternal Kingdom

And

As Also Promised

May Christ Jesus Come Soon On The Cloud 

In The Manner That No Devil Can Counterfeit! 

We Longingly Ask All In That Worthy Name!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Turn Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus!

The Flash was Bright
The Spectacle Light
And that Light
Behind Darkest Dimmers 
Fair to Right Blinded Me!

The Spectacle
That Show
The Purveyors of Sin Heaven Knows
Fair Left Me To Truth Disoriented
As Living Swill to Me 
They Unrelentingly 
Daily Presented!

Pretty, Pretty, Light!!
Those Colors
Strobing 
Stroking Me
In My Dark Night
Instead of Guiding My Footsteps Aright
To My Death and 
Eternal Destruction
Led Me
Stomach Roiling
Steps Wobbling
To The Precipice Drear and
I Know ... Desperation!
I Know ... Fear!

In My Sorrows and
In Fear
In Desperation of Soul
I Will Declare
I Called and
I Called Out:

"IS Anyone ...

IS A Savior ...

Near?!"

"No one could be here!

Oh,  Lord, I'm Alone!

Who will Care for This One

Lost ... and so Very Alone?"

And in My Own Last Strength

Huh?!?

I Heard ... ¿??!¿!

I Heard Me a Quiet Voice:

"Turn Your Eyes Toward My Voice!

Look Upon Me - Even Though You Can't See!

I Have True Light and

I Provide Peace and

I Offer Rest!

I Offer You My Living Place 

So

Look in Faith

Toward The Cleft In The Rock - Follow My Voice!

Hold Out Your Hand!

Don't Look Down!

Don't Look Around!

Reach for Me!

I AM Holding You!

You Can't Fall!

My Grip is Everlasting Sound

Heaven Strong

By Grace - Profound

And FYI, It Is Eternity Long!

Trust Me!

I Can't Let You Drown!"

He'd said: "Turn!"

I Physically Turned My Body and 
Looked ...

He said:  "Look Upon ...!"

I looked Up and 
Locked On!

MY Eyes ...
It is My Decision
To Trust Him
Whom I Can't Physically See, See!
If I don't - I'm Already Dead Anyway!
What He's Saying 
Sounds Like Love To Me!

I Must Say I have
My Death to Lose and
His Life to Gain
IF
IF
IF
I
DO
What He - The Voice
In My Dark Light
Night Blindness
Says!

I Squeezed My Blind Eyes
Tight Shut!

He IS Talking to Me!

I hold My Breath for
I am Listening!

The Lord Must Be Here
In The Depths of This Hell Where I Be
Surrounded by a Light by which I can't See
So
I Reached Out!

The Great Hand - I Feel It
IS Touching 
Holding 
Carrying Me!

I Opened My Eyes!
Lord of Heaven!
It's Indeed Jesus Christ
The Author Finisher of My Little Faith!

I Bless Him and Confess
That 
Without Him 
I'd be a Crumpled, Dead Mess!

I'm Glad I Answered His Call and 
Got Off
The Hell-Spun
Stomach-churning
Head-Spinning 
Soul-darkening 
Disco Ball!

Turning Our Eyes Upon Jesus 

Literally Means 

Turning Our Backs To The World

Taking Our Sight Away from What Is Only At Our Feet

And 

Casting Our Gaze Upon Him Who Lifts Our Heads

And 

Will Carry Us - Bodily - Home To His Glory

And

Hanging On To Him

for

Eternal Life!

*******

Drop The Brassy Ring

and

Hold Out Your Heart

for

Your Gold Crown!

*******

Look Up

and

Depend On Jesus 

and 

YOU WILL LIVE!!

He Called Me By Love + Prayer: Lead Me Home

On The Day that I Finally Acknowledged
That I Needed Jesus' Love
Was The Moment that I Knew that
He could be Depended Upon for Eternal Love.

I did not have to be Official
I did not have to Raise a Flag
All I did was to Declare:

"Lord, You are My Shepherd!"

And Ask

"Will You Bless Me, My Lord King?"

The King of Love - Thou Prince of Peace
Oh, Holy One
Who Brings Relief
Accept this Day
My Humble Pray
And Lead Me on to The Home You Have Prepared:

I Love You, Lord!

I'm Glad I Found

My Way to You

Who Called to Me in Love!

I Honor, Bless, and Your Name I Confess

I Need You, Lord -

Help Me Pass this Life's Cruel Test!

Guide Me Through Troubled Waters

Lead Me Over Stormed-tossed Seas

Lead Me Through The Dark Shadows

That Fair Stalk Terrorize Me!

And, when My Day is Over

And Life as Known is Past

Lead Me with The Brethren

Away from What Is The Past

Into The Kingdom

Where Peace is for The Blessed!

Lead Me, My Savior, to Your Mansions of Rest

To What Is True and Good and Holy, and

What Will Eternally Last.

AMEN.
