PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT: Let's Just Praise The Lord Our God!

Praise Is A Beautiful Thing To Hear 
When It Is Justified, True 
And 
Heartfelt 
And 
Unforced! 

People Offer Praise To Get Power And Perks 
But
We ... As Christians
Give Our Praise To The Great And Glorious One 
Who Is All Power
And
To Whom Glory, Praise And Honor Rightfully Belongs! 

Book It ...

It Cannot Be Overstressed That
All Of Our Praise Belongs To The Infinite God 
From Whom, By Love, With Mercy
For Grace ... Unmerited Favor
All Of Our Blessings Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unrequested, Unappreciated
Unthought Of 
And 
Unacknowledged
Generously, Unfailingly, Daily, Flow! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Good To Us 
Because 
He Is Good And Kind 
And 
Forever Faithful
And 
Eternally Loves Us Personally 
And 
Sacrificially! 

Beloved, 

Please Let Us Do Right
Because 
It Is Right
And
For Love Of The Lord
And 
With Grateful, Thankful, Loving Hearts 
- Overflowing With Joy Unspeakable -
Give Our Great And Glorious God
Unfeigned Aka Real, True, Honest, Praise! 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
Is 
Worthy To Be Praised 
So Let's Do It
Not Just Because It Is Commanded
But 
For The Very Real Joy ... And Sure Blessings It Brings 
To The Heart That Finds Its Worth 
And
Its Pleasures In Knowing, Honoring, Worshipping 

And 

Willingly Praising 
The King Of Love 
The God Of Grace Now
And 
The God Of Glory Soon To Come 
And 
To Share! 

All The Praise, Glory And Honor 
Rightfully Belongs To Almighty God!!

Indeed It Does!

And I Say "AMEN!!!" To That! 

Brethren,

We Can't Praise Our Lord Enough 
For His Goodness Towards Us 

So Let Us Get Our Praise Practice In Now 

So That We Shall Be Able To Praise Him 
In The World To Come ... And Forevermore! 

Hallelujah ... And AMEN!!!

Simple Things Confound The Worldly Wise!

I Like Things Simple!

Clean Lines!

No Convolutions!

No Switch-Backs!

Just Give Me Plain, Straight-Forward, Speech And Action

Just Like The Word Of God!

I Hear THAT!

The God Almighty Says ... Ever Present Tense:

Do Good: Good Will Attend You!

Worship The Living God: Idol Worship Will Kill You!

Obey My Commandments: You Will Live!

Disobey My Commandments: You Will Die!

Don't Follow The Multitude: They Do Evil!

Be At Peace With God: I Create And I Destroy!

Don't Walk In The Counsel Of The Ungodly: You Won't Prosper!

Your Sins Are Scarlet: I Will Make Them White As Snow!

Don't Doubt: Faith Works!

Sin Costs: Salvation Pays!

Simple, Simple, Simple!

Let's Now Let The Fallen Wise Men Of The Earth

Complicate The Word Of God 

And

Complicate Simple Things:

Sin: What Is Sin!?!

What Is Sin To Me Is Not Sin For You

And If, Indeed, You Sin

Is It Not Possible That The Sins Of Your Forebears 
Are Manifesting Themselves

In Your Present Life!?!

You Are Not Responsible For What You Do 
Because Old Gran And Pop-Pop

Engendered In You The Capacity To Commit "Sin" 
Which Is As A Result Of 
Your Parents Not Nursing You For A Full Six Months 
And Neglecting To Give You

Whatever You Asked For 
To Satisfy The Yearning Child Within You Who Is Hurting

Even Crying Out 
For The Unconditional Love Found In The Hearts Of
 Truly Liberated And Emancipated Parents 
Who Are, Themselves, Seeking To Find Their Own Lost Child Within!

Oookay!

The Lord Says: Come Boldy

Confess Everything

Repent

Get Forgiveness

Be Cleansed!

How Is It Possible To Be Made Whole

If You Refuse To Acknowledge That You Are Broken!?!

If You Can Answer That, You Are The Boss!

He Can't Answer Because There Is No Answer

Just Like There Is No Excuse For Sin!

KISS!

Keep It Simple, Saints!

Satan Complicates Things!

The Lord Make Things Straight And Plain
So Pray Always ... Without Ceasing
And 
Trust Jesus Christ In All Your Ways!

Deceit Always Wriggles Like The Snake That Caused Sin
So Turn Your Back And Firmly Walk Away!
There Is Nothing Called A Win With Sin!
Make Jesus Christ And His Righteousness
Your All And Everything
And
Keep Satan And His Fallen Angels
And
His Henchmen And Their Iniquitous Ways
Away From Your Way Of Operating
So That You Do Not Receive Their Promised Reward!
Satan Is The Damned-For-Eternity God-Fraud!

Iniquity Is Planned Sin! 

Planning To Sin Is Planning To Die! 

Living Right Is Righteousness 
And 
Righteousness Leads To Our Restoration
And 
The Glorious Day Of Reward 
When Our Lord Shall Come! 

Our End Is Our Choice!
Choose To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Wisely Choose 
To Eternally Live With Jesus Christ In His Glory! 
Abundant And Glorious Blessings Await His Saints!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Secret Place And Safety Seal + PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For The Blessed Gift!

Here's A Thought:

Communion Is An Intimacy

And

If You're Communing With The Lord

You're Not Communing With Satan!

To Commune With The Lord

Is
To Live In Safety!

Let's Extract Knowledge:

1. The Most High ... The Almighty

Our Ever-Loving, Ever-Living God 
Is 
Most High!

He Is Above Us!

There Is Nothing That He Cannot Do 

Because 

He Is The One Almighty!

The Most High Almighty God

Casts A Shadow!

Shade From Heat 
Is 
Found Under The Shadow! 

Rest Is Found In The Shade! 

2. He ... Man, Woman, Child

If Man Dwells Other Than In

The Secret Place Of The Most High

It Means That He Abides In A Place

A Circumstance 

A Situation

This Is Not Under The Care Or Shadow
The Shade Of The Almighty God

And 
He Is, Therefore

Operating Under A Power 
That Is Decidedly Inferior, Inept
And
Inappropriate For His Needs!

If Your Communing With The Lord Is Sporadic

Your Shade Is Sporadic

And

That Obviously Means That 
Your Protection Is Sporadic

Your Safety Is Compromised

And

God Forbid

You Will Ultimately Find That

You Are Not One Of His Children!

If, And, And No But's ...

If Almighty God 
Is 
Your Lord 
Follow Him Faithfully!

If The Shadow Of The Lord 
Is 
Your Abiding Place
Make Your Permanent Dwelling There!

If The Secret Place Of The Most High 
Is 
Safe 
Remain There Hidden!

The Lord Is Light 

And Yet

He Casts A Protective Shadow!

The Lord Is Our ... My ... Light

And

Our ... My ... Salvation!

The Lord 
Is 
The Strength Of Our Lives:

Of Whom Should We Be Afraid!?!

You Plus The Living God

Make The Majority!

The Lord Is Our Refuge ... And Strength

A Very Present Help

In Time Of Trouble
And 

Our Help Comes From The Lord

Who Made ... Heaven And Earth!

The Lord Is Thy Shade

At Thy Leading Edge -

Thy Right Hand!

The Lord Shall Preserve Thy Soul!

You, A Saint Of God, May Die: Big Deal!

The Lord Raises The Righteous Dead

To Everlasting Life!

It Is The Lord, The Most High

The Almighty God

Who Causes Us To Rest In Safety!

No Parable ...

Anything Outside Of The Light And Shadow Of 
The Living God

Is

Either Unsafe

Or Dangerous!

Why, Then, Would You Dwell Other Than

Under The Purview

The Influence

The Protection

The Provision Of Almighty God!?!

The Reasons Are Plain:

Sin!

Satan!

Self!

Savior: Unknown!

The Lord Is The Shepherd!
Follow Him
Because
Wherever He Is, Is Shelter!

The Boundless Heavens 
Declare The Glory Of The Most High God:

Shouldn't You!?!

Sing Praises To God!

Sing Praises!

Though Waxing Old Like A Garment
Earth Still Triumphantly Shows Forth His Handiwork!

You, Me, We Are The Workmanship Of God In Christ!

Shouldn't We Be Telling The Good News!?!

Isn't It Time For Us, In God's Secret Place, To Hide

From The Heat Of Sin

From The Raging Lion

From The Piercing Serpent

From The Quick Sand Of Selfishness!?!

God Restores!

Isn't It Time To Seek The Savior

The Shepherd

The Free Salvation

The Good Seal!?!

Everlasting Life

With The Lord Christ

Is Reserved For Those

Who Bear The Seal Of

The Living God

In Their Foreheads!

Isn't It Time To Acknowledge

Accept

Appreciate

And

Approach

Our El Shaddai

Our All-Sufficient
Most High Almighty Eternal Loving Giving Saving God

And

Abide For The Long, Hot, Night ... Of Sin

In The Cool, Comfortable, Comforting, All-Encompassing, Shadow

In The Protective Shade

Of Him Who Is

And

Ever Shall Be

The Word ... That Cannot Fail

The Rock ... That Cannot Be Broken

The Refuge ... That Cannot Be Breached

The Food ... That Is Abundant And Free

The Water ... That Is Sweet And Cleansing

The Oil ... That Anoints, Soothes And Heals

The Home ... That Is Eternal, Happy And Safe

The Help ... That Is Available, Accessible, Salvation

The Salvation ... That Is Sure And Secure!?!

Isn't It Time To Sing:

Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us!

You Are Mercy: Please Receive Us! 

You Have Called Us:

Thine We Are!?! 

Workers Get Paid ...

Relationships ... Lasting Relationships

Are Built On Constant

- Not Hit Or Miss - 

Communion

Communication

Commiseration

Caring Association 

And

Credible, Ceaseless, Contact

Born Of Enduring Commitment

And

Unfailing Love That Freely Chooses

Bilaterally

Never To Let Each Other Go!

Love ... Which Cannot Die

Lifts Us Up!

Grace ... Unfailing

Satisfies!

Mercy ... Free Mercy

Is

Freely Available

And

Covers Me And Thee!

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

I Love You

And

I Thank You For Your Offering

Your Blessed Gift

Of

Your Canopy Of Sure Shade! 

Thank You For Your Sacrifice 

That Welcomes Me Into The Peaceful Glade! 

I Have Nothing Of Value To Offer You

For Your Known-Protective

Sheltering, Healing, Provident Embrace

Save My Sinful Soul ... Now Made Repentant

By Your Gifts Of Grace

Forgiveness And Faith

Which Have Me Daily Striving For Love

In Obedience

- With Holy Boldness -

To Gain The Prepared-For-Me

In-The-Heavenly-Home Place! 

May My Faith Grow!

May My Love Show!

May My Adversary Know

That You Are Mine

My Abiding Place

And That I Am Yours

Cleansed From Disgrace

And

At The Appointed Time

I Shall Be As You Are 

And

Shall Shine In Your Glory's Glow! 

Until That Day When Glory Shall Roll

Please Help Me Always

Against The Gates Of Hell

Sin, Self and Satan

To Strike Most-Telling Blows! 

I Rejoice In You, Oh, Lord

And

I Trust You With My Whole Heart

For You Are My God

And

I, With Humility

Honor, Praise, And Worship You! 

Please Accept My Prayer Of Faith

For I Ask All In The Blessed Name

Which Is Above All Other Names! 

I Plead My Cause In The Name Of The Beloved

The Lord Christ Jesus! 

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith ... First, Last And Always!

Unbelief And Guilt Are Darkness!

Faith And Righteousness Are Light!

The Promises Of God Provide For Our Pardon

And

Make The Way Plain For Us Willing

To Bring To Our Lord Pleasure And Delight!

**--**--**--**

Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength

Honor, Glory, Blessing!

Who Or What Are You Talking About!?!

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Why!?!

He Is Coming To Earth Again!

And!?!

I Am Waiting For Him!

Why!?!

He Is Coming For Me!

Why!?!

He Loves Me!

I Love Him!

He Died To Save Me!
I Am His Greatly Beloved Child
And

That Entails Glory For Me!

He Purchased Me A Pardon!

For What!?!

What Did You Do!?!

I Sinned Against The Holy God!

I Was Marked For Death!

Jesus Christ Purchased The Pardon For Sin
For Me Personally

So I Am Awaiting His Coming Gladly!

That's Nice!

Can Anybody At All Get A Personal Pardon As Well!?!

Most Assuredly, My Friend!

There Is Water For Whosoever Will In The Well

That Gives Life To All Who Choose His Promises To Believe

And

Choose To Not Let Themselves ... Anymore

By Satan To Be Deceived!

I Like How You Said That!

What Do I Have To Do!?!

You Must Confess Your Known Sins!

You Must From Sinning Repent ...!

... Repent!?!

Yes!

Repent As In Turn Away From Sin

Don't Do It Again

Deny The Carnal Side Of Life

And

Do Not The Name Of The Living God Holy
Shame, Misuse ... Profane!

That's A Tough One!

Not At All, My Friend!

Jesus Christ Is The Answer!

He Has Given Us Access To The Father's Throne!

He Has Shown Us The Way To Live

Unveiled The Power Of Prayer Over The Sin Life

Modelled A Perfect Way To Pray For Help

Promised Us Power Over Sin

- At The Throne Of Grace -

And

Promised Us To Never Leave Us Alone!

For All Of Our Personal Sins

He, Himself ... Innocent

Before The Father ... Once For Us All ... Did Atone!

I Believe Him At His Holy Word

And

When He Comes Again
With Him, I Am Going Home!

Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength

Honor, Glory, Blessing!

You Said That Already!
Why Are You Repeating Those Words Again!?!

They're A Reminder!

Of What!?!

They Are A Reminder That 
Jesus Christ Is King Of Heaven And Earth!

They Are All His Attributes!

He Has Them All

And

He Can Give To Me

If

I Am Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring!

Okay ... But I Don't Like That Enduring Bit!

That Sounds Like Trouble!

It Is!

Oh, Dear Lord!

Are You Mad!?!

Nope!

I Am Saved By Grace ... Through Faith!

Jesus Says His Grace Is Sufficient For Me

That He Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake Me

That He Will Never Leave Me Comfortless

That He Is My Shepherd

That I Shall Not Know Want

That He Is Preparing A Place For Me

And

That Holy Angels ... Excelling In Strength

Guard And Protect Me

And

Influence Me To Do Good

So That I Shall Be Blessed!

Sounds Like A Good Setup!

Oh, It's Way More Than That!
It's A Foundation

A Roof

Tables

Chairs

Food

Fellowship

A Heavenly Banquet Prepared

For All Who Believe
Who Love

Honor, Trust, Worship, Obey

And

Care Enough To Be Prepared

To Meet The King When He Comes

And

His Eternal Glory Share!

I Hear You ... But I Have To Ask:
Is The Feast Really Worth The Enduring Bit!?!

Friend, 

Jesus Christ Conquered Sin, Self, Satan

Hell, Death
And 
The Cold, Cruel, Grave!

He ... As Triumphing Conqueror
Got Up From The Grave

Severing The Power Of Death
And

Demolishing Satan's Power Over Us!

Permit Me To Make Myself Plain:
I Believe The Lord Jesus Christ!

I Despise The Sin-Life!

I Am Walking To Narrow Way To Hill Zion

And

By Almighty God's Great Grace

I Am Going To Receive

Jesus Christ's Eternal Life!

Wow!

You Sound Confident!

I Am!

Why!?!

F A I T H!

Fellowship And Inspiration Through Hope ... In Jesus Christ!

He Gives To Me A Gift Of His Faith ... Every. Single. Day.

Hmmm ...
I Get A New Life!?!

You Get A New Life ... In The Lord Christ!

Faith!?!

A New Supply Each And Every Day!

Never Alone!?!

Not Even For A Second!

Never Comfortless!?!

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

With You Shall Abide!

Abide!?!

The Holy Spirit Will Be Taking Up Residence!

Do You Know What That Means!?!

Yes, Yes!
I Really Believe That I Do!

I Guess, I Know, I'll Have To Do A Garbage Run!

Spring Clean!

Out With The Old!

In With The New!

Can't Let The Esteemed Visitor

Reside In A Pig-Pen!

I Like You!

I Like How You Think!

Let's Walk And Talk Together: We Agree!

Jesus Christ Will Be Here In A Blink

In The Twinkling Of An Eye

When The Last Trumpet Shall Sound

When The Heavens Shall Roll Up Like A Scroll!

The Archangel's Voice Shall Sound

And

The Dead In Christ Shall Rise ... First

And

Those Faithful Living
Who On The Earth Shall Remain
Shall Join Them To Meet The Lord In The Air
And

His Redeemed People Glorying
Shall See The Lord Christ

With Undimmed Eyes!

Hallelujah!

AMEN!!! 

Do You Know That Song
In The Sweet By And By ...!?!

... Faith ... First, Last And Always!

WRONGED: Make Amends!?!

How You Feel About Me
Does Not Determine How I Should Feel About You!
I Am A Child Of The Living God Holy
And
I Refuse To Submit To The Ways Of The Fraud!

One Hand Cannot Clap

And It Takes Two To Tango Aka Tangle!

I Am Human
And
You Are Likewise
But
Our Difference Is Determined By
Which One Of Us Walks In Truth
And
Which One Of Us Lives By Lies!

A Lie Started War In Heaven

And A Lie Caused A Perfect Man And Woman

And A Perfect Creation To Live To Die!

I Choose The Way Of The Master!
I Choose The Way Of The Living God!
I Choose To Be And To Live Like My Jesus
And
I Will Not Behave Like A Minion Of
The Wanna-Be God-Fraud!

Deceit Will Never Bless Nor Satisfy!

You Hate!
I Appreciate!
You Tempt "Fate!"
I Have With Soul Salvation A Firm Date!

Soul Salvation Is Not Something

To Be Trifled With!

Don't Indulge Hate, Envy, Greed, And Lust!

Look!
This Argument Is Pointless!
I Am Not Going Where You Lead!
I Am Living For My Jesus
And
I Refuse To Ride Satan's Hell-Bound Steed!

You May Hate Me All You Want: Your Choice!
I Will Love You: I Have To ... I Must
And
If There Is Ever Anything That 
I May Do To Assist You In Your Journey
Have No Fear To Call Me
Because
In Jesus Christ's Holy Faith
To Your Side I Shall Surely Rush!

Just Because You Have Free Will

It Does Not Mean That You Should

Use Your Free Will To Be Unkind!

Ask Me For A Glass Of Water!
Rest Assured That It Will Be Clean!
Ask Me For A Meal Of Food For Your Saving
And
Be Convinced That It Shall Be A Clean Meal
Fit For A King, A Queen
Because
I Serve The Living God Holy!
I Serve The God Of Grace Who Sacrificially Loves
And
I Believe The Words Of The Oracle Of Almighty God
Which Plainly Says Firmly:

Whatsoever A Man Sows
That Shall He Also Reap!

And

Anything That I Do For The Least Of The Brethren
I Have Done Unto The Living God!

The Lord Does Not Play Favorites

And He Keeps Faithful Records Of

All We Think, Say And Do

And He Does Not Short-Pay Nor Over-Pay!

Friend,
Jesus Christ Looks Beyond My Faults
And
He Sees My Need
So I Shall Look Beyond Our Faults
- Yes, I Have Mine -
And 
For My Soul Salvation
To You ... I Shall Endeavor Always To Be Kind!

Compassion Is Always Kind!

Compassion Is King!

Jesus Christ Died To Save You!
Jesus Christ Died To Save Me!
Jesus Christ Is All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present
All-Feeling
And
My Pray For Us Both
Is
That We Shall See Him On The Great And Glorious Day
In Joy And Perfect Peace
Because
Our Personal, Inherited, And Cultivated
Defects Of Character Will Have ... By His Saving Grace
Been Cleansed
Been Remedied!

The Joy Of The Lord Is Your Strength!

I Am Grateful For The Lord's Present Grace
And
I Am Thankful For Coming Glory
And So
I Bid You God-Speed And A Blessed Day!
May The Lord Grant You His Sweet Peace!

Keep A Zion Song In Your Heart

And With Faithful Endurance

Go On Almighty God's Errands!
