VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FAT FAITH BLIGHTS: Cultivating Working Faith

Harmonie Had A Little Land
A Corner Plot Of Land
Beside The Highway Broad 
Her Back To The Sea Of Sin
And
With Her Heart Reaching Out To Wayward Humanity
She Desired To Plant A Crop
That Would Profitable Be!

She Had Planted A Bed Of Let Us Pray: 

She Prays Without Ceasing! 

She Had Planted A Bed Of Working Faith
A Bed Of Faithful Patience
A Bed Of Creature Comforts:
It Was Doing So-So!
A Bed Of Love And Hope
And
A Bed Of Caring And Sharing
And
She Woke Up One Morning
To Find Mingled With Her Bed Of 

Lovingly Cultivated  Caring And Sharing
The Distinctive Heads Of Bitter Snares!

Shocked To The Max
All She Could Do At First Was Stare
But Then Remembering Whose Child She Knows She Is
She Uttered A Heartfelt Prayer
To The Holy One Blessed Forever
And
With Strong Determination 

Proceeded To Plant Another Bed Each Of
Working Faith And Faithful Patience!

Her Neighbors' Interest Was Peaked
Because
Everybody Knows That Tending Multiple Beds Of 

Working Faith And Faithful Patience
Require Endurance
And
Not Many People Had The Stomach 

For That Kind Of Intense Exercise!

Everybody With One Iota Of Common Sense
You Know, That Not Common Thing
Knew That Increasing Working Faith Slowed Life
Aka Slowed The Receipt Of The Heart's Desire
While Substantially Increasing 

The Growth Rate Of Faithful Patience
Aka The Patience Of The Saint
- Which No One Ever Enjoys -
Along With Humility
Resting In Love
And
Growing In Grace!

That Growing Season
Always Spells A Deeply Courageous Struggle 

With Her Ladyship, Heady Delay

For The One Doing The Growing!

Heady Delay Is Neither Malicious Nor Crude!
She Isn't Presumptuous
And
She Is Never Rude!
She Just Takes Her Cool Time
Ensuring Lessons Are Learnt:

• Never Block The Son
• Send Down Deep Roots
• Stretch Out For Wide Branches
• Imbibe Lots Of Water Of The Holy Spirit
• Receive Daily Nurturing From And By The Book And
• Indulge In Copious Amounts Of Prayer Either By Your Voice Or Silently From Within The Heart!

How Doesn't Matter
As Long As Sinful Doubting Is Not Involved!

To Be Truly Successful

The Grower ... The Saint Of God And Christ
Must Not Ever Deviate From The Formula

Because

Deviation Causes Dilemma!
Dilemma Causes Disbelief!
Disbelief Encourages Doubting
And
Doubting Gives Satan A Reason
Against The Maker
In Glee To Parade And Shout!

It Must Be Said ...

Assurance Of Victory
Of A Plenteous Harvest 

Is 

There From The Start Of The Sowing
The Planting Process
And
Just Requires Conscientious Consistency
Working And Waiting
Watching And Praying
Believing And Receiving:
No Rinsing Required!
Just Repeat!

Be Aware ...

This Isn't A Work For The Unmindful
The Spiritually Lazy
The Boastful Proud
The Limp-Wristed Or Brittle-Kneed Weak!
To The Creator
The Maker
The Sustainer
The Provider
One Must Constantly, Prayerfully, Willingly, Seek!

Harmonie Is No Shirker!
While She May Not Always Completely Understand 

The Then-Prevailing Signs
She Trusts The Book Of Knowledge Completely!
She Heeds The Posted Warnings!

Harmonie Works What She Daily Receives
And
She Works Her Received Faith Practically To A Nubbin
And
At The Start Of Each And Every New Day
A Full Cup
- Enough Faith For That Day -
Is 

Always Found In Her Heart's Stores!

Lit Lamps On Lampstands ...

Harmonie's Lifestyle Greatly Offends Gully Boar
Who Is Always On The Rut
Digging Up And Delivering Doubt
And
Who, Personally

Is 

Rotten To His Fluffy, Extended, Core!

She Fares No Better With The Grabbits

Or The Gottits!

Gratitude ...

Harmonie Gives Her Maker
Her Lord, God And King
Fervent Thanks And Holy Praise 

Whenever Whoever

However Wherever Whatever Comes Her Way!

She Trusts That Her Master
Controls The Why
The Duration, The Beginning, The End
And
All Points In Between
And
Chooses His Will
Never To Deny
Never To Defy!

Harmonie Fully Expects Her Daily Gift!
Its Receipt Is No Surprise:
It Is A Bold Promise In The Good Book!
Her God, Holy

Does Not, Cannot, Lie
And
She Lives In And For Him 

And 

Daily Sings:

Faith Is Gift That I Daily Receive! 

I Look Forward To It With Expectancy! 

I Plant My Gift In My Fertile Heart Of Belief

Knowing That In My Jesus

Worked Faith Always Brings Relief

Help For My Journey

Courage For My Way

And The Blessed Assurance

That For My Heart's Willing Confession

And Repentance For Known Sin

I Shall Never For My Own Sin

Have To Pay!

Worked Faith Gives Me Necessary Hope 

And Help Each And Every Day

No Matter What That Gully Boar

That Imp Of Satan Repeatedly Says!

Jesus Christ Saves Me

And I'm Praying All The Way

Whether I Am At Work

Or At My Craft Having A Play!

Know The Right ...

FAITH Has The "H" For HOPE ... And Help!
Drop HOPE
And FAITH Become FAIT
Reading: Fear Always Inspires Torment!
Meaning: Physical Fear Inspires Spiritual Torment
Leading To: The Inclusion Of The Letter "N" For Need
And
Causing The Ill-Equipped Soul To FAINT
To Fall-Back
To Turn Back!

Brethren,

Faith Is A Precious Commodity
Freely, Daily, Available
- By Measure -
To Every Body!

It Must Be Worked
Exercised
Or For Disuse
It Is Excised
And, We, At The Mercy Of The Devil
The Enemy Of Our Souls
Shall Be Found Wanting
And
Without Heavenly Goals!

Jesus Christ Is Our Savior
The Only Giver Of Good Gifts
And
He Is The One Who Gives
Of Daily Faith The Gift
So Let Us Be Willing
The Gift To Unwrap
And
Put Same To Use In Our Heart Of Love
So That We May Withstand
All Sure To Come
Demonic, Sinful, Geared To Our Demise
Spiritual, Physical, Emotional Attacks!

Jesus Christ Is The Way
The Truth, The Light, The Life
The Savior, The Redeemer
Our Constant Help
In The Earthly Strife
So Let Us Not Become Weary In Well-Doing
Nor Wayward From Straight, Strait, Walking
For, If We Faint Not
We Shall Rise Upon Wings Of Eagles
Because
Exercised Faith Can Never Fail
And
Its Use Will Always Cause Satan 

In Desperation To Bitterly Wail!

Use Your Faith!
Pray For Grace!
Accept Mercy!
Walk In Light
And
The Living God Holy
Just, Faithful, Kind, Loving, Ever True
You Shall Surely Delight!

Fat Faith Blights!

Just So You Know ...

Yesterday's Faith Stays In The Past!
Today's Faith Can't Enter The Future!
Tomorrow's Faith Stays Exactly That
And
Those Who Don't Recognize This
Become To The Living Kingdom
The Losers!

There Are Only Two Kinds Of People:

Faith Users

And

Kingdom Losers!

Which One Are You!?!
