VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Just Stop It!?!












...  So He Told Her That
Whenever He Lifted His Arm Over His Head
It Hurt Really Badly
And Asked Her What To Do About It! 

He Went On To Say That She Told Him: 
"Stop Lifting Your Arm Over Your Head!" 

He Was Not Amused 
And Now He Refuses To Speak To Her Ever Again! 

What Do You Think, Abutte!?! 

My Dear Defray, I Don't Think
I Know That That Is The Typical Response
We All Give To The Good Lord 
When He Tells Us To Stop Doing What We Are Doing
Because It Is Hurting Us Really Badly! 

Excuse My Please!?! 

I Didn't Stutter, Defray! 
The Lord Told Us Not To Sin! 
He Told Us The Penalty For Sin! 
He Told Us What Happens To Us When We Sin
And
He Gives Us Faith, Strength, Grace, Mercy 
And
Hope For Help And Healing! 

You Know What Our Problem Is!?!
We Want The Lord To Do Our Heavy Lifting For Us
While Forgetting That We Must Expend Effort
Before We Can Expect Divine Help! 

Hold Up, Abutte!
What Effort Could We Possibly Expend First
Before We Receive Heaven's Help!?! 

Defray, How Could You, A Committed Christian
Have The Unmitigated Gall To Ask Me Such A Question!?! 

I Have The Unmitigated Gall, Abutte
Because I Don't Understand What You Are Asking Me!

Have You Ever Heard About That Blessing Called
Pray Without Ceasing!?! 

Of Course!
Who Hasn't!?!

You Would Be Surprised!
You Have A Sin, You Want To Get Rid Of It
And You, In Your Own Strength
Do The Thing In The Belief That
If You Do The Sin Enough
You Will Make Yourself Sick Aka Sick Of It
And You Wouldn't Want To Do It Again! 

Bad, Bad, Bad Really Bad Idea!

So What Should I Do For Myself, Abutte!?!

Stop Doing It By Going To The Lord In Prayer
Believing That The Lord Will Help You
By Asking Him To Help You
And Pray And Resist The Devil
And Pray Some More
And Sing A Song Praising The Lord For Answered Prayer
And Resist And Pray And Praise
And
Don't Forget To Give Thanks For Your Victory
As If You Are Already Victorious!

You Make It Sound Sooo Easy, Abutte!

It Is Hard Because It Is That Easy, Defray!

But You Just Turned It Around!?! 

So!?!
Do You Gain Muscle By Picking Up A Sheet Of Paper!?!

Of Course Not!
You Need Something A Smidge Beyond No Effort Required!

Okay!
When You Are Doing Heavy Lifting In The Gym
Don't You Have A Spotter
And Are Advised
And Encouraged
To Wear A Back-Brace!?! 

Of Course!
Everybody Knows That! 

So, Please Tell Me, Defray
In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Just, True, And Wise
Why You Would Face Sin
Without Your Back-Brace Aka The Lord Jesus
And Your Spotter Aka The Holy Spirit
And Your Moment By Moment Vitamins
Faith And Prayer, And Praise
And
The Fortifying Bread That 
Is 
The Infallible, Immutable Word Of The Living God!?! 

I Can't Answer That 
Because
I've Never Heard It Explained Like This Before, Debutte!

So What Are You Going To Do From Here On Out!?!

1800-Call-God Aka Pray ... And Without Ceasing!?!

You've Got It! 
And ...!?! 

Take My Vitamins And Eat My Bread
And ... Let Jesus Closely Embrace Me
Holding Me Straight Protecting Me 
And
Cooperate With The Holy Spirit
Who Will Lead Me Into All Truth
Who Sees My Drift, My Growth
My Stagnation And My Slippage
And 
Will Call Me Back Into Alignment With The Lord Of Life
Who Is Love And Light! 

Nicely Done, Defray!
Let's Do Business Again!?!

For Sure! 

Peace Be Upon You!

CONDITIONED: Breaking Bad!






Salvation 
Is 
About Breaking Bad ... Getting Sin Out
And 
Getting Jesus Christ ... Our Hope For Glory
Into Our Heart For Keeps! 

Have You Ever Found Yourself 
Doing The "Thing" You Hate Doing 
And 
Then Realizing That You're Doing It 
Because 
It Is Familiar Like A Broken-In Pair Of Shoes
An Old Broom That Knows All The Corners
The Pillow That Knows Your Head
That Rut In The Road That Your Tire Always Finds
Or That Itch That You Scratch 
Because 
Your Mind Says That It Will Itch!?! 

Are You Being ... Or Have You Been ... Conditioned 
To Default To "Sin Now!" Instead Of "Pray Now!" 
By Allowing Satan To Encourage You To Believe That 
Sin Is You And Sinning Is All That You Will Do!?! 

Satan Is The Liar! 

We Were Born In Sin 
And 
Shaped In Iniquity Aka Planned Sin 
But
We Do Not Have To Live That Way! 

We Will Be Tempted To Sin 
But
The Lord Will Provide For Us A Sure Way Of Escape! 

Jesus Is Near: 
Choose To Be Aware! 

Sin Cannot Satisfy: 
Don't Fall For Sophisticated Lies! 

Choose To Look Up High: 
See To It That You Do The Devil Defy, Deny 
And
Take Christ's Salvation Full And Free
And 
At The Day Appointed 
Sing With Saints And Angels Most Joyfully! 

Break Bad: 
Mix Unceasing Praying
Faithful Endurance
Willing Obedience
And 
Doing Right 
For The Godly Life! 

Peace!
