VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer: I Come In Peace!

Proverbs 20:9 KJV

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

On This Blessed Day, I Come In Peace For Peace With Peace! 

Have Mercy On Me Who Has Been A Perpetual Sinner! I Know This Because The Eternal Word Of Truth From The Truth Plainly Says That I Sin Every Day By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Please Pardon My Weakness Which Causes Me Not To Place A Leash On My Wayward, Often Wandering Thoughts Which Cause Me To Utter Unfit Words, Which Cause Me To Be A Willing Participant In Executing Ungodly Deeds! 

Please Forgive Me And Help Me By Helping Me To Use The Lock Of Righteousness Purchased For Me By Your Beloved Son Who Gives It To Me Because He Is The Life Of Every Man! 

Father, I Am Blessed With Light From The Light Of Life Who Is My Peace! 

Please Help Me Not To Weaken My Hold By Giving In To Ungodly Doubt And Lying Fear! 

The Word Which Is The Truth From The Word Who Is The Truth Has Promised Me That You Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake! 

Please Keep Your Word To This Worm Who Needs To Wash In The Cleansing Stream Of Innocent Blood, And Drink From The Water Of Life Daily! 

Please Open My Eyes So That I May See Wonderful Things In Your Words So That My Need May Be Satisfied, And I May Be Made Free Indeed Because Of My Jesus' Great Sacrifice For Me! 

Please Help Me Not To Despise The Unspeakable Gift Because It Is My Heart's Desire To Be Amongst That Great And Blessed Number Who Are The Few, The Called, And The Chosen! 

Today, Dear Father, I Use My Freewill, And My Freedom To Choose, To Choose My Lord Jesus To Be The Captain Of My Life! 

I Choose Today To Walk Under The Blood-Stained Banner Of Prince Immanuel Who Calls Me To Walk Wisely And Rightly, And To Stay On The Strait And Narrow Path To Glory! 

Father, You Have Promised Strength For My Journey! You Have Asked Me To Be Very Courageous: Strengthen Me For The Way That I Must Walk: I Am Weak! 

You Have Said That Your Strength Is Made Perfect When I Am Weak: Please Honor Your Word To This Trembling Flesh! 

Please Give Me A New Heart Now, Even As I Ask For The Holy Spirit To Come Into My Heart And Take Control Of My Life, And To Lead Me And Guide Me, Correct Me, And Comfort Me When I Stumble Or Fall Short Of Your Glory! 

Father, Please Pity Me! 

Help Me Today, Now, To Not Look Back At Babylon Or Covet The Beautiful Babylonian Garments Which Are Stained By And With Sin, And Lead To Destruction! 

I Beseech You To Help Me To Be Contented With Christ And His Gift Of Clean Garments Of White, Garments Of His Righteousness, Which Make It Possible For Me To Enter Your Presence With Thanksgiving And True And Honest Praise! 

Please Help Me To Worship You In Spirit And In Truth Because I Love You, Need You, and Trust Your Unfailing And Infallible Word Which  Works: I Trust In You: I Trust You! 

Please Bless Me Today So That I May Bless Another! 

Father, I Ask For These Few Mercies In The Matchless Name Of King Jesus Who, Alone Saves! AMEN!!! 

Peace!

Contented ... in Christ Jesus!

Are You Contented Aka Pleased 

With What You Already Have!?! 

Are You Contented With 

And 

In The Lord Christ!?! 

It Is One Thing To Be Contented

And

Quite Another To Think That 

You Did "It" All By Yourself

And

Vainly Glory In Your Accomplishments!

Beloved, 

No Committed Christian 

Should So Depart From The Righteous Way 

And

Become So Proud Of Themselves 

To Dare Take The Glory Of The Lord Unto Themselves 

So That The Lord Must Humble Them 

And

Cause Them To Be Contented To Eat Grass For A Season 

In Order For Them To See The Light Of Saving Truth! 

Arrogant, Proud 

And

Pompously Foolish King Nebuchadnezzar Of Babylon 

Learned This Lesson The Hard Way! 

There Is Contentment 

And

There Is Contentment In Christ! 

There Is Having Satisfaction With Myself 

And

There Is Satisfaction In Ridding Me Of Self! 

Little With Contentment 

Is 

Of Great Gain When We Acknowledge That 

It Is The Living God Who Ever So Graciously Provides 

Every Last Thing That We Call Our Own! 

Like Everything Else In The Christian

We Have The Authority

The Freewill

The Freedom 

To Daily Decide ... By Almighty God's Great Grace

To Be Contented With What The Lord  ... In Love 

Has Graciously Provided

Be It Little Or Much! 

There Is No Profit In Baseless Pride!

Let Us From This Moment On Say 

"Thank You, Lord!" 

And

Glory In The Lord Of Life

Even As We Determine To Be Contented

With What The Lord Daily Provides For Us 

Since Our Provider 

Is 

Our Maker ... The Creator! 

Our Provider Is Also Our Hope, Help, And Salvation

Redeemer

Judge, Lord, God

And 

Forever Faithful Friend ... The Kind King: 

Rest Where The Lord Our Shepherd Gently Leads! 

To Be Contented In Christ

Is

To Have Perfect Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Thou God Seest Me!?! + Prayer

I Face A Great Dilemma
For It Is Known
AND
I Truly Believe That:

"Thou God Seest Me!"

The God Of All Graces
The Eternal King Upon His Throne
Is Ever Beside Me -
I Do Not Walk This Life Alone!

Amazing As It May Seem
I Have Walked Through Life
Knowing This
BUT
- Surprisingly -
Truly Oblivious
Of What This Theme
This Truth Means
For
Had I Been Truly Cognizant
Of What This Word Means
I Would Never Have Wittingly Considered
Spoken
Or Done
Anything Called
Wrong
AND
Unclean!

Be Ye Holy
For Your Father Is Holy!
Your Father Is God
AND
A Consuming Fire!
You Do Not Want To Face His Ire!

Your Father God Is The Accountant -
He Keeps Error-Free Books!
Everything You Do Is Recorded -
One Day You Must Give Account
For Your Father Balances His Books!

When You Make A Mistake
Go To The Father
- Right Away -
In Prayer
Using The Name Of The Only Savior
Repenting And Confessing
For
Into The Sea Of His Forgetfulness
He'll Cast Your Confessed Sin Away!

Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding -
Approach Your Heavenly Father
In Godly, Reverential, Prayer!
Commit Your Way To Your Father
AND
That Tempting Devil
From You
Will Flee Away!

Ask The Father To Teach You His Ways
AND
To Help You To Walk In Them!
Ask The Dear Lord To Order Your Steps
AND
To Help You To Shun Evil Companions
AND
Bad Language To Disdain
For
You Do Not Want To Hold A Part
In Their Shameful Acclaim!

Let Us Ask Our Father To Hide His Truth

In Our Inward Parts
AND
Let Us Plead With Him
To Help Us
The Ways Of The World To Depart!

Let Us Ask Our Father
To Lead Us Along Life's Way
To Guard Us
To Guide Us
To Lead Us
AND
To Feed Us
AND
To Help Us Not To Indulge
In Presumptuous-Sin
AND
To Walk In The Path Own-Way!

PRAYER:

Father,

You Are Truth

Light Life

Health Cure

Faith Love

The Open Door!

Teach Us

And

Correct Us, Lord

Ever Always With Your Love

So That Our Lives May Stand The Inspection

On Earth Called White Glove

But

In The Realm Of Your Majesty

The Judgment

So That We May

By The Appointment

Receive

Christ's White Robe Of Righteousness

As The Realm Of Flesh

With Finality

We

- No Looking Back -

Leave!

Help Us, Lord

To Live Right

In The Knowledge

Of Your Active Presence

So That All That We Do And Say

Will Be Flavored With Salt

So That Banality

Bitterness

Hatred

Indifference

Strife

Self-Abuse

Wickedness

And

All Abominable Practices

May Be Cast Away!

Help Us To Speak Your Truth

In Righteousness

Keeping Ever Before Us

That

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath!

Thank You, Lord

For All Your Blessings

Even As We Take Hold

Of Your Offerings Of

Salvation, Grace And Faith!

Lead Us, Kindly Light

For

In The Beloved

And

Blessed Name Of The Holy Jesus

With Hearts Broken And Contrite

We Plead!

AMEN!

Heaven Is Not Folk-Lore!

IF
Man Considered
The Almighty
Seeing All
Knowing All
Being In All
Always Present God
To Be God
Meaning
He Made Us
AND
He Sustains Us
AND
He Can Take Us Out
According To His Own Will
We Would Watch Where We Walk
What It Is That We Talk
Where It Is That We Go
AND
The Things That Through Our Minds Go
AND
We Would Think Carefully
How We Handle Our Fellow Man
AND
Seek To Valiantly Ignore
The Pit-Digging Grand Stand!

Furthermore ...

The Phrase
"The Common Good!"
Would Not Be Of Specious Intent
AND
Our Increase Would Not Be Spent
On Buying Sand In The Desert
Or Ice In The Artic
For We Will Have Withstood
That Wicked Devil's Antics!

We Would
- As A Norm -
Lift Up The Fallen
Heal The Sick
Help The Poor
Clothe The Naked
Fill The Empty Belly
Visit The Shut In
AND
The Locked Away
Ever Ministering Salvation
To Those Who Do Not The Name Of 
The Giving God Know
AND
Will Always Be Ever Ready
To Give The Reason For 
Our Obvious Hope
AND
Inviting The Hopeless
To Become Hopeful
In The Great And Glorious God
For We Do Not Kiss The Fraud!

It Is Amazing
When We Think On The Almighty God
In The Right Light
What Real Illumination Follows
As With The Revelation
We Walk Wholly With
The Holy God!

Let Us Turn Away
From Our Known Idols!
Let Us Dethrone The Fallen Men
Living High
Lifted Up
Carried
Venerated
As On The Earth
For-Real-But-Bathroom-Visiting Gods
AND
Return The Only Living God
The Creator
The Sustainer
The Provider
Our Only Help
The Feeder
The Sealer
The Judge
The Jury
The Executioner
Our True King
Our Salvation
Our Only Hope
Our Everything
To His Throne
In Our Eyes
Our Hearts
Our Heads
So That We
- Clean -
On That Great Day
By His Own Hand
At His Own Table
In His Own House
In His Own Kingdom
May Be Fed
AND
Not To Final Damnation
Be Ignominiously Led!

The Almighty God
Is For Us
So
No Matter Who
Or
What 
Is Against Us
Let Us Live
In The Light
AND
The Knowledge
That
The Living God Does Indeed Us See
AND
Choose
To Let Him
In Our Lives
Ever Present
Ever Active
Ever Leading
Ever Chiding
Ever Deciding
Will-To-God
Be
For I (Don't You?)
Want To
My Jesus
In Peace And Joy
See!

I Am Changing My Attitude!

Will You?
