VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Life In Christ!

Psalm 38:12 KJV
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
The Devil Is The Liar 
And 
Those In His Employ Will Do All To Trip Us, Trap Us, And Terrorize Us 
If We Forget That The Lord Is For His People! 

Somebody With Nothing To Lose And Nothing To Gain 
Is 
Going To Dare Us To Go Against The Plain 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Another Wicked One Who Despises 
Our Steadfast Love Of And Faithfulness To The Lord Christ 
Will Set Traps For Our Feet! 

And Still Another Will Play On What Things Are Known 
To Cause Humans To Tremble In Fear! 

Beloved, 

Christians Committed To Christ Are Made Of Sterner Stuff 
Because 
They Love The Lord
Trust His Word
And 
Have The Holy Spirit As Their Teacher 
Who Leads Them Into All Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Plain "I Will Be With You Always!" 
To Envelop Us! 

We Have A Clear "Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!" 
To Draw Us! 

We Have An Unambiguous "They That Wait Upon The Lord 
Shall Renew Their Strength!" 

We Don't Need Strength To Sleep! 
We Need Strength To Struggle, To Fight
To Battle
And 
To Wage War Against Doubt, Despair
Sin, Self, And Satan! 

We Have Our Savior Who Has Won Us The Victory! 
Let Us Not Be Lax! 

Let Us Choose To Win Our Personal Battle Against Sin 
By Taking Our Daily Step To Christ! 

The Devil Is Damned: 
Let Your Sin Be On Him ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Everlasting Portion! 
I Bid You Jesus! 
Beloved, I Bid You Peace!

HOW DO YOU STAND: Standing On OR Standing Up On ... The Promises Of Almighty God!?!




What Is The Point Of Being Given A Promise 
And 
Not Being Bold Enough To Remind The Person Of Their Exact Words 
At The Time When The Receipt Of The Benefits Of Said Promise 
Will Immensely Profit You!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have Been Given An Open Invitation 
To Appear Boldly At The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy 
And
Grace To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

Should We Not Appear Before The Lord's Magnificent Throne 
And 
Awe-Inspiring Glory 
With The Lord's "Yea!" And "Amen!" Promise For The Moment 
Securely Held And Ready To Be Offered Up To The Promise-Keeping God 
Whom We Say And Believe Is Our Everlasting Portion!?! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Given To Us For Our Blessing 
Are Only Of Benefit To Us As We Believe That 
The Giver Is Faithful And True! 

The Promises Given Will Profit Us 
When We Present Them For Settlement 
Like A Check Or A Bearer Bond! 

Be Warned, Though
Don't Ask For A Promise To Be Kept By The Lord Jesus 
When You Are Deliberately Living Contrary To The Will Of Almighty God! 

The Lord Jesus Will Never Fatten You For Satan To Feast Upon Because 
Our God, Holy
Is 
Neither Deceitful ... Nor A Liar! 

Choose To Believe The Lord's Word 
And 
Dare To Present It To Him! 

Bring Your Dirt, Your Trouble
Your Trial
And 
Your Test Or Torment! 
Let Your Request Be Known ... By Faith! 
Believe You Will Receive Your Request 
According To The Father's Will And Way 
And
Pray Without Ceasing! 

The Character Of Christ Is Our Guarantee: 
"Cash In" Your Promise Today! 

Peace!

Don't Tempt The Living God!




Beloved, 

Be Very Careful About Who ... And What 
You Permit To Become The "Light" 
The Be All-End All Of Your Life And Living! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Has Made It Abundantly Clear That 
He Owns Everything! 
He Has Also Made It Clear That 
He Will Give Us Everything ... Everlasting! 

Did He Not Give Us His Only Begotten Son 
To Be Our Everlasting Portion!?! 

If We Look At The Lives Of 
Prophet Balaam, King Saul, And King Ahab
We Will See And Know 
Understand And Accept That 
Foolishness Isn't Sense
Being Self-Willed Is Silly
Disobedience Is Disastrous
And 
Playing Dead To Right Living Aka Righteousness
In The Presence Of The Life-Giver
To See What Kind Of Funeral You Are Going To Receive 
Is 
Seriously Asinine! 

Just As We Know That Holy Angels Minister 
To Us Who Are To Be Inheritors Of Jesus Christ's Free To All Salvation
There Are Fallen Angels, Evil Spirits, Demons
Who Take Malicious Pride In Encouraging The Disobedient 
To Buy Materials And "Aiding" Them In Constructing 
The Last Comfortable Couch They Will Ever Lie Upon 
Not That They Will Know It! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Don't Tempt The Living God 
Who Can Destroy You Body And Soul In Hell! 

The Lord Has Promised Us Things That 
Man's Eyes Have Never Seen
Nor Man's Ears Have Ever Heard Spoken About 
So Let Us Not Seek Our Own Way
Walk In Our Own Will
Or Satisfy Ourselves Through Sin 
By Willful, Knowing, Disobedience! 

Please Give Your All To And For Christ Jesus: 
Obedience Truly Pays! 

Peace!

EMERGENCY SIREN: Nobody Wakes Up Dead!




 















For Every Siren That We Hear
There Is A Living Soul In Mortal Distress: 
Neither The Coroner Nor The Mortuary Van
Has Need Of Urgent Progress! 

Beloved, 

None Of Us Knows The Day Or The Hour 
When We Shall Close Our Eyes For The Long Sleep 
From Which No Man's Fabricated Alarm May Awaken Us 
And
For This Reason 
I Bid Us All To Keep Current Accounts With Our Lord Jesus! 

At The Siren's Sound
Please Raise Up Your Heart To The Holy God 
And 
Pray For Our Brethren That 
Our Blessed Lord Will Have Mercy 
And 
Grant Them Strength, Courage, And The Opportunity 
To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin 
And Take Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion 
So That They May Be Blessed 
And 
Saved Into The Living Kingdom
According To Their Will! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Know And Love The Lord
Please Do Not Relax And Act Carelessly About Your Salvation! 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Daily
So Let Us, As We Realize Our Errors
And 
As A Matter Of Habit
Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin ... Every Day! 

Nobody Wakes Up Dead 
But
Everybody Awakens To Face The King Of Glory
The Judge Of All Flesh Who Will Have His Rewards With Him! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
When The Time Comes
That We All Will Arise From Our Long Home 
To See Our Jesus In All His Glory
In Perfect Peace! 



Dear Lord Jesus, 

We Adore You! 
Please Bless Us
As We Confidently
Raise Our Hearts To You
In Heartfelt Prayer! 
AMEN!

Know The Truth Aka Know The Lord Jesus Christ!



There Is No Faithfulness Without Truth! 
Truth Is Good And Has No Lie In It! 
Lie Has In Truth But Has No Good In It! 

How, Then, Does One Reckon With "The Fact" That 
"Whispy Told A Good Lie!" 
And 
"Bordes Plainly Told The Truth But It Is Simply Unbelievable!?!" 
And 
What About 
"Maisie Is Such A Convincing Liar That 
She Could Make Anybody Believe That Grass Is Blue!?!" 

Beloved, 

No Matter How Convincing The Liar And The Lie May Be
The Truth-Speaker And The Truth 
Will Stand Vindicated In Front Of Everybody! 

Study The Truth Aka Study The Lord Jesus Christ! 
Know The Truth Aka Personally Know The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Own The Truth Aka "Own" The Lord Jesus Christ 
As Your Everlasting Portion 
And 
Sell It Not Aka Do Not Betray The Lord 
So That When The Liar A-Calling Comes
You Aware, Will Give Him A Firm Set-Down Aka 
"Away With You, Thou Stranger To The Truth!" 

Dare To Really Study The Truth In All Of Its Beauty 
To Truly Recognize The Dastardly Lie 
In Its Shameful Ugliness! 

Please Remember That 
All Of Our Blessings Come With Our Faithfulness To The Truth 
And
It Is The Truth Alone That Sets The Sinner Free! 

The Plain Truth Yields Perfect Peace 
So Choose To Speak 
And 
Walk With And In The Truth Today! 

Peace!

Win At Salvation By Failing At Sin!








Obedience, Trust, And Surrender 
Are Three Of The Hardest Concepts For Us To Wrap Our Minds Around 
And
Put Into Action On A Consistent Basis 
To Make A Real, Visible, Difference In Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

To Obey Our Lord Christ
We Must First Trust Him 
And
In Order To Trust Him And Obey
We Must Surrender Ourselves 
And
Our Sin 
Before 
We Are Willing To Walk In His Holy Way! 

We Often Hear That "Hallelujah!" 
Is 
The Highest Praise! 

Well, Obedience 
Is 
The Highest Form Of Worship! 

We Often Hear That Imitation 
Is 
The Highest Form Of Flattery! 

Well, Living For And Like Jesus Christ 
Is 
Letting The Whole World Know That 
We Are On The Lord's Side 
And That 
We Have Taken Him For Our Everlasting Portion! 
This Is Love ... Not Flattery! 

Be Warned! 

There Is No Everlasting Portion For 
Disobedient, Distrustful
Battling-Against-Truth Sinners! 

Please Do Not Be Fooled 
By The Antics And Rhetoric Of The Worldly-Wise! 

Surrendering Sin And Self To The Savior 
Is Not 
The Sweet Treat For Sappy Saints Seeking Salvation! 

Surrendering To Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Boldest, Most Courageous
Most Beneficial Act Of Winning Warfare That 
Any Of Us Will Ever Perform On This Side Of Glory! 

People Who Think That They Are Important 
May Call You Sottish Aka Foolish: 
Let Them! 

Please Choose To Surrender, Obey
And 
Unerringly, Enduringly Trust The Lord 
And
Be Perfectly Sure That 
You Will Spend The Eternity Of Bliss In The Great Reward 
With Jesus Christ The King! 

The Trusting, Faithful, Obedient, Enduring
Surrendered Saints 
Win At Salvation By Failing At Sin! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Free-Will And Freedom Of Choice Are Treasures!








Freedom To Exercise Faith By Free-Will 
Is 
To Be Treasured! 

We, All, Need To Realize That 
Our Creator Gave Us Total Control Of 
Our Own Free-Will That 
No One May Usurp, Hijack Or Take Away! 

Along With Our Free-Will 
Is 
Accountability For Our Choices! 

Along With Accountability 
Is 
The Certain Knowledge That 
There Is Only One Way 
To Have Someone Else Take Responsibility 
And
Accept Punishment For Our Personal Sin! 

We Must, By Free-Will, Freely Choose 
To Give Our Free-Will Back To The Lord 
Through Confession Of And Repentance For Sin 
And
Willingly Choosing Our Creator, Jesus Christ The Lord
As Our Everlasting Portion
And
We Must Daily Choose 
To Walk In Willing
          Faith-First
                    Enduring 
                              Obedience Before Him! 

Sinners Are Born! 
Repentance Comes From Confessing Sinners! 
Confessing 
And 
Repenting Sinners Are Free-Will-Exercising Saints 
Who, By Free Choice, Have And Are Tasting 
And 
Seeing That The Lord Is Good 
And
Are Deliberately Turned From Sin Unto Salvation! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Won't Ever Force You To Be A Saint 
And
Satan Can't Ever Force You To Be A Sinner! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Working Faith
Free-Will
Freedom To Choose
And
Love For The Lord 
Lovingly Abide Together ... By Our Personal Choice! 

Free-Will Without Freedom To Choose 
Is 
A Lie: 
The Lord Of Life Can't Lie 
So Dare And Exercise Faith In His Living Word Today! 
Peace!

Follow The Lamb That Blesses Sheep!






Which Statement Will You Ultimately Utter!?! 
"I Am Glad That I Had Daily Taken The Lord Christ 
For My Hope, Help, And Salvation
My Everlasting Portion!" 

Or 

"I Bitterly Regret That 
I Did Not Take Jesus Christ 
As My Savior, Lord, And God!?!" 

Are You An Obedient Sheep 
Willingly Following Where The Good Shepherd Safely Leads 
And Confidently Feeds You 
With Food Good For Every Personally Known 
And Individually Named Member Of His Flock 
Who Recognizes And Only Answers The Call Of His Voice
 
Or

Are You A Wayward, Wandering, Constantly Straying Goat 
Who The Shepherd Repeatedly Has To Chase After 
When You Follow Fads, Fashions, And Follies!?! 

Beloved, 

The Willing To Be Saved 
Walk Wisely In The Blessed Ways Of 
The Master Of The Wind Who Stills Storms
Casts Out Demons
Heals The Lame
Gives Sight To Blind Eyes
Unstops Deaf Ears
Seals Against The Wrath To Come
And 
Raises The Dead In Christ 
To Life Everlasting With Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
The King Of Love 
And 
The King Of Glory Who Loves Us With An Everlasting Love! 

Please Remember That 
Obedient, Saved, Sheep Eat Green Grass 
And 
Drink Pure Water 
And
Have Coats Of Wool As White As Snow 
Because 
They Are Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb 
Who Is The Shepherd Leading Them To Eternal Peace 
And 
Perfect Rest! 

Sheep Safely Graze 
And 
Tranquilly Rest:
Find Your Peace In Jesus Christ The Lord!

The Everlasting Portion!






What Our Eyes See, Our Heart Wants! 
If We Longingly Look At The Things Of The World
We Will Desire Those Things! 

When We Lovingly Look Fixedly Upon The Lord Christ 
And
By Faith View Heavenly Things Constantly
We Shall Truly Long For Christ 
And
Desire To Behold Him In His Glory ... In Our Flesh
With Our Own Eyes And Not The Eyes Of Another! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Must Become Everything To Us 
Or Else Our Loyalty ... Divided Between Here And Heaven 
Will Most Assuredly Cause Us To Lose Out 
On Receiving Our Everlasting Portion 
And 
To Take Personal Possession Of Our Land Lot 
Granted To Us By Right For Loving Our Jesus 
And
Having Overcome Sin! 

No Other Human Is You! 
No Other Human Can Love The Lord Christ As You Do: 
You Are Unique, Special! 
No Other Human May Overcome Sin In Your Behalf
And 
No Other Human May Own Your Lot! 
So, If You Choose To Liberally Indulge 
Your Desire For Temporal Aka Earthly Things 
And
Conservatively "Love" The Things Of God
Please Know ... Of A Surety That 
You Shall Not Hold Either! 

Dare To Let
"Jesus First! 
        Jesus Last! 
              Jesus Always!" 
Be Your Daily Call To Work
To Walk
And 
To Acquire The Wisdom Of The Wise 
Who Walked ... Are Walking ... On The Way Of The Cross!

I Beseech Us All
Please Seek  ... And Find ... The Savior 
And
Know That All Of Grace's Good Things 
Will Be Abundantly Added Unto You!



The Everlasting Portion
Is
The Portion That Lasts
And
Lasts
And
Lasts
And
It Is Specifically For Those
Who
For Jesus Christ The King
Their Lot In Life Have Cast!

THE BLESSED HOPE: The Way To Everlasting Life!

The Man ... The Sin
The Mirror ... The Law
The Blood ... The Savior
The Help ... The Salvation
The Hope
Is
Life With The Lord Jesus Christ
And
The Savior's Glory Forevermore To Share! 

Those Who Expect Things
Have The Expectation That Shall Surely Perish
For Things Are Temporal
For Only A Time
And
Shall Not Reach The Land That Is Eternal
Where Life Is Sublime! 

Those Who Do Not Trust In The Living, Holy, God
Have No Everlasting Portion
For Here And Now 
Is 
All That They, Blinded, See
And
Here Is Where Their True Expectations 
Are Revealed To Be Defiled, Dust, Dirt ... Damned! 
They Shall See Their Vaunted Treasures
Become Useless, Rusty And Cankered! 
Gladly Accusing Their Owners
These Things Shall Surely Be! 





The Way To Life ... 

We Who Have Hope In The True And Living God
Have Hope That Shall Be Realized 
In All Its Particulars! 

Our God Is Eternal, Faithful
Capable And Able
And 
Our Every Response To His Words Of Promise 
Which Cause Us To Trust
To Have Faith
And 
To Hope Shall Be
"Yes, Lord! 
And 
"Amen!" Aka
"So Let It Be, My Father! 
You Have Given Me A Sure Word And I Believe It
And I Shall Wait Upon You!
Grant Me The Grace To Wait With Patient Hope 
For You Are Almighty God Who Cannot Lie!" 

Beloved, 

Our God Is
And 
Because He Is, We Are! 
We Are His ... The Sheep Of His Pasture
And 
Our Faith, Our Hopes, Shall Be Satisfied
If 
We Are Steadfast, Enduring, Faithful! 

Nobody Can Make
The Decision For You
And Nobody Can Stop You
From Making Your Own Decision!
I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Please Hold On To Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who Is Real, Righteous
And 
Soon Returning! 
Heaven's Glories Await Those Of Us
Who Obediently Choose To Keep The Faith
Make The Enduring Commitment
And
Send Prayerful Confirmation Of 
The Longed-For Date
By Thought, Word And Deed! 


The Lord Christ
Is Either
Your King Or Your Judge
And You, Alone
Make That Judgment Call!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FUZZY WORMS TURN INTO BUTTERFLIES: Sinners To Saints!

Will-Alignment Is A Daily Doing!

What Will!?!
You Ain't Nothing But A ... A ... A Worm!

Pardon Me, But You Need To A Put A Handle On That!

Oh, Really!?!

Yes, Really!
For Your Information, I Am A Caterpillar
And, Soon, Very Soon
The God Of Heaven And Earth
The King Of Creation
Is 
Going To Make Me Anew!
My Change Is Gonna Come
And 
I Shall Fly!
Will You!?!

Oh, My! How Special!

Oh, Yes, Indeed!
It Is Special!
By My Cooperating With His Will
I, Resting And Believing In His Word
And
Having Let Go Of Self
- And Willingly Going And Doing All That He Wills -
My Will Will Be Perfectly Aligned
With The Perfect Will Of The  Lord Of Life
And
At The Appointed Time
Thereafter Unchangeable
Praise Be To Jesus
I Shall Be Changed ... To Be Like Him!

My Garment Shall Be Praise-Worthy!
My Taste Shall Be To The Sweet Things Of Glory!

My Mode Of Transport Shall Be Strong, Beautiful, Wings!
My Every-day Legs Shall Be Elegant
Well-Suited To My Purpose!
My Heart Shall Be Set Always To Home ... With Jesus!
My Life Shall Be A Story For The Ages!
My Eyes Shall Be Special Always Beholding
Heavenly Light
And
In The Lord's Eyes
I Shall Be His Delight!

I Shall Go Where He Sends Me!
I Shall Always Do What He Says!
I Will Be Always His To Command
And
Praise Be To Jesus
Heaven Will Be My Pasture-Land!

But, But, You Are A Man!

Didn't You Just Call Me A Worm!?!

I Did, But ...!?!
I Don't Understand!
Are We Even Talking About The Same Thing!?!

You, Friend, Were Speaking As A Carnal Man!
You Thought To Insult Me
But
I Am Speaking To You ... Spiritually!

I'm Sorry For Being Rude!
What You Said Is Intriguing!
Please Say More  ... I Am Listening!

Very Well!
When You Called Me A Worm
You Called Me What I Am!
You Cannot See What The Lord God Of Hosts
Intends That I Shall Be!

I Was Not Insulted
When You Called Me A Worm
Because
The Lord God Almighty Himself
Declared That That Is What I Am!

But ...




He Who Made Me
Has Promised To Remake Me
Into His Image
When I Choose Him ... By My Free Will
To Be My Everlasting Portion!

That's All Well And Good For You
But What About Me!?!

The Promise Given To Me
Is 
The Promise Given To Every Man
Who Wills
Who Desires
Who Loves
Who Trusts
Who Honors
Who Worships
And
Who Wittingly, Wisely, Wantonly
His Every Word Obeys!

Small Word, Big Meaning!

What's That!?!

Obey!

Ah, Yes!
The Big Stick That Beats The Doubter!

Think About This ...

If A Caterpillar Indulged In Doubt
Would He Ever Acquire His Wings!

Not Likely!

So, Here's What Truly That Says 
About That Worm, The Caterpillar:

The Caterpillar Is A Wise One!
He Believes That His Creator To Him Is Ever True!
He Aligns Himself With The Plan Of The Lord
And
Cooperates Fully 
- Nothing Wavering -
No Thought In Doubtful Discord!

I Wish I Was That Caterpillar!

Friend, You Can Be!

Since You Say That, Tell Me How!

That's Easy!
Trust ... And Obey!
Seek After The Lord ... And Pray
And
Walk Wise ... And Endure
Because
Faith ... For The Sinner Repentant
Is
The Life-Changing Cure!

Faith And Trust Go Hand In Hand
And
The Hand Of The Majesty Of Heaven
Is 
Working Upon Us
- Only By Our Consent -
To Rid Us Of Sin's Leaven!

We Must Believe
And 
Accept The Proffered Blessing
Otherwise ... If We Are Doubters
We Will By That Wicked Satan
Ever, Always, Be Deceived!

You Know What!?!

What!?!

I Shall From Henceforth
Honestly Give Obedience
The Faithful Christian's Try!
I Desire To Be Changed!
I Want To Fly!
I Will, With The Lord's Wishes
Seek To Comply!

What That Attitude, My Brother
And
Cooperating With The Holy Spirit
And
Accepting Available Grace
One Day ... Soon
You Shall Surely Fly!
The Word Of The Living God Holy
Cannot, Will Not, Lie!

Let's Praise God For That Gift!

I Hear You
And
I Sincerely Concur!
