VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Hide And Buy!?!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

The Old Saw Says That You Can Hide And Buy Ground 

But 

You Cannot Hide And Reap It! 

Let's Ask Ourselves This Question: 

Since The Lord Jesus Did Not Hide 

To Buy Us Back From Death, The Grave

And 

Damnation And Hell

Why Would We Believe It Is Okay To "Serve" The Lord On The Down-Low 

And 

Live With The Great Expectation Of Receiving A Key To The Eternal Kingdom 

With The Public Acknowledgement!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Neither Had Nor Has Secret Prophets

Teachers, Healers, Preachers, Nor Servers! 

There Has Never Been Nor Will Ever Be 

Secret Saints Or Undercover Overcomers! 

Question Again: 

Why Would The Lord Ask His People To Be Very Courageous 

And 

To Be Strong In Him And In The Power Of His Might!?! 

Beloved, 

Nobody Needs Courage To Hide 

But 

Any And Everbody Needs Courage And Strength To Endure

To Stand Alone ... Exposed

In The Gleam Of Bright Light 

And 

Under The Venomous Stench Of The Hostile Glare

The Precursor Of Iniquitous Intent! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is The Great I AM! 

With Him Ever With Us And Always For Us

There Is No Need To Fear What Man Can Physically Do To Us! 

Let Us Bow Before Our Lord Jesus ... In Godly Fear 

In Awe Of Him Who Can And Will Give Us 

... Who Obediently Choose To Endure The Walk Through The Dark Valley ... 

The Blessing Of Entry Into His Marvelous Light 

With Bodies Like His Own! 

Brethren, 

We Shall See Him As He Is For We Will Be Like Him 

And 

Be A Part Of The Clan Called The Family Of God! 

So, Then, Dear Ones, Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And 

Lift Up Your Heads 

And 

Live Victorious Lives ... In Him And

For Him

For He Was And Is For You, For Me, For Us! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

CEO: D'Liar N. Fraud

Bachelor Of Bogus

Master Of Manipulation

Doctor Of Deceit

Murderer For Hire

Purveyor Of Too-Sweet Babylonian 

God-Defying Tasty-Treats

AND

Lying!

These Three Paragons
Of No Virtue
Take Perverse Pleasure In Their Work
AND
They Care Not
- Day Light Night Bright -
Who Their Derail
AND
Cause Of The God Of Heaven
To Lose Save-Your-Soul Sight!

Well ... 

All Was Going Really Well For Them
Until Those Vile Villains
Reached Faithful Town And Country
Where
Speaking Truth
AND
Living N. Obedience
Were Mayor And Peace Officer!

These Two Were Real Time-Tested
Bible-Toting
Psalm-Singing
Church-Going
Careful Cowboys
Not Hillbilly Galoots
AND
They Don't Know How A Blasting Gun
At A Sinner To Shoot!

These Two Good Men 

Did Every Single Solitary
By ... The Good Book!

They Have No Jail
No Street Stocks
No Holding Pens
No Shackles
No Tasers
No Cash Machines For Bail Pay
Just Old Faithful Friend
The Constant Companion
The Good Shepherd True
The Desire Of The Ages
The One
Who 

Sin Death And Hell
Did Slay!

Uh, Oh!

Did You Hear That?!

"Come Let Us Reason Together!
Your Sins Are Scarlet

AND
We Are Sure That You Knew
But HE Can Make Them Snowy White
AND
IF You Admit That They Are Red Like Crimson
At Your Willing Surrender
They Shall Be Like Wool
AND
Comfortable Shall You Sleep
Be It Warm Or Cold Night!
Please Do Not With Us Fight!"

But ... 

"IF You Persist
In Spreading Pestilence
Vengeance Is HIS!

HE Shall You Repay

AND
There Is Nothing That You Can Do To Change That
So
Speak Now!
Tell Us The Truth ... TODAY!"

They Feinted Left!
The Feinted Right!
They Ran In Circles!
The Did A Bunch-Tight!
BUT
Firm Was Steadfast Conviction
AND
Soon
Those Three Invading Sinners Did Learn:

Do Good - Good Attends You!

Speak Truth - Truth Speaking Returns!

Walk Right - Light Will Attend You!

Jesus Saves - Live Love Learn!

Indulge Selfishness Became Indulge Selflessness
Disregard Conscience Did Conscience Regard
Sacrifice Integrity Showed
Walking In Integrity
Is No Sacrifice
AND
They Soon Became Perfect Members
Of
Faithful Town And Country's
Useful-Government Board!

D'Liar N. Fraud
Tried To Get Them Back
BUT
Having Grown In Love
AND
Being Loving To All Men
AND
Being New People
They Told Him
Not To Visit Them
Ever Again
AND

For His Being Turned Away Empty-Handed
He Did Them Roundly Curse
Proving To All And Sundry
That He Is 

The Devil Perverse!

You Should Know That ...

Occasionally
A Mustachioed Liar
Arrives In The Country
The Town
AND
Just As He Arrives
Converted He Stays
Unconverted
He Leaves Fast
For
Neither The Mayor
The Peace Officer
Nor The Old Faithful Friend
Indulge In That Nonsense

Called
The Devil's Cosplay

AND

They Don't With Foolishness
Horse-Around

For
They Specialize In
Faith's Stand Your Ground!

When Are YOU Going To Come Down?!

No Regrets Later!

Dedicated To The Task

I Was Walking 

Along The Way Of Life
Contented 

To Walk With The Lord
Until 

The Day I Came To The Cross Roads
AND
Read The Bill Board
Identifying Each Road
As Can Only Be Written
By The Fraud!

Out Of The Blue ...

My Mind Became Cloudy!
My Spirit Became Fevered

As Fevered As Fevered Can Be!

Everything Seemed So Exciting
AND
This Thing

That Thing

These Things

Those Things

All Things
Were Calling 

Calling

Calling Out To Me!

I Felt Drawn
Enamored
AND
I Wondered:

"What If ...!"

When I Smelled The Aroma
Of Someone Smoking A Spliff!

I Heard Raucous Music!
I Heard A Laughing Uproar!
I Heard Two Voices Three
Screaming ...

"Let Me Out Of This Door!"

I Heard Glasses Clinking

AND
I Heard A Funeral Dirge
BUT
I Heard No Voice Praying
To The Master
For
Those Souls Were Indulging
Suffering
From The Unexpected

The Unanticipated 

Foul Purge!

I Felt Myself Pulled Up Sharply!
My Heart Was Not Here
On 

The Wide Expanse
Of 

Wasted Lives
For
I Wanted
Desired
Yearned
To Walk Straight
From Common Living
Unto Eternal Life
Which Could Only Be Accomplished
By Walking The Straight And Narrow Way
BUT
Here
I. Was. Being. Tempted!
From My Lord
To Go Astray!

In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

That I Held To Me So Dear
I Said:

"Father, I Am Thine!"

Please Point Me

And

Bless Me To Walk

On The Straight Line

For You Are My God

Holy And Divine!

Help Me To Stay On The Right Path

Help Me Not To Flesh To Step Aside!

Help Me To Deny That Liar!

God Of Glory 

Be My Guardian And My Guide!

Help Me In Thy Love Ever To Abide!

AMEN.

I Looked Again
At That Bill BoardTurned Guide Post

AND
- Though Nearly Obscured -
I Found The Path
Marked

"Right Way

... For Those That Faithful Be!"

AND
Giving God Praise
For

A Weak-By-Self-Strong-In-God-Victory

I Plodded Gladly Onward
To That Gloriously Eternal

Eternal City!

The Way Is Oft' Hard
BUT
The Great God Is Good
For
My Companions Are Holy Angels
AND
The Holy Spirit
Is My Comforter

AND

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Have

Faithful To God

Stood!

Brethren,
Do Not Be Presumptuous!
Do Not Assume That You Can
Of Your Own Self
Know The Way!
Pay Attention!
AND
Really Read The Guide Posts
For
They Are There For
Correction
Protection
Direction
AND
Are Not To Be Ignored
Because Of Wilful Self's Predilection!

Take Time
To Read With Understanding!
Walk In Faith

AND
Put Blind Eyes 

AND

Lustful Urges
On The Back Burner Called Past Life
AND
Trust The Word Of Truth

AND

Not Him Who 

Always - Justifying Sin - Has A Plaster

AND

Is Justly Called

The King Of Disaster!

Put Faith First

And

Have No Regrets Later!
