Physical Satisfaction Won't Appease Our Spiritual Desire!

What Is The Point Of Having Everything That 

Your Stony Aka Carnal Heart Desires 

At Your Very Fingers To Use And Abuse

Refuse, Keep, Share, And Discard 

According To Your Will 

And 

Be Totally Empty On The Inside

Having No Hope

No Eternal Future

No God-Designed And God-Given Expected End!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Almighty God's Property 

By Creation 

And

By Redemption! 

We Do Not Have The Right To Destroy 

What Is Not Our Own! 

Why Would We

Knowing To Whom We Belong

What He Has Called Us To Be

And 

What He Has Done

Is Doing

And 

Will Do For Us

Walk Around Like Empty Shells 

And 

Willingly Choose To Eat The Husks That 

The Swine, The Pigs, The Porkers Gladly Eat 

When We May Comfortably Sit At The Kind King's Table 

And 

Have Him Delightedly Serve Us 

Because 

He Sacrificially Loves Us!?! 

Dear Ones, 

An Upward Look 

Followed By An Inward Cleanse 

Is 

In Order For All Of Us! 

Physical Satisfaction 

Will Never Appease A Spiritual Longing! 

The Lord Said So

So Let Us As His Dearly Beloved, Obedient, Children 

Get To The Springs Of Living Water 

And

Then Feed Substantially On The Bread Of Life! 

Almighty God's Grace Is Sufficient 

And

His Mercy Is Free 

And

Jesus Christ's Salvation 

Is 

Gifted To Me And To Thee! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Earthly Pleasures Vainly Call You! 

Peace!

ALMIGHTY GOD'S PERSONAL PROPERTY: Be Faithful To The Truth!

Just In Case You Haven't Figured It Out Yet

Or Even If You Are Indulging A Case Of Denial

Let Me Make It Clear For Us All:

Satan Hates You Enough 

To Have One Of His Fallen-Angel Cohort 

Dog Your Steps Like A Salmon-Tot Retriever! 

Just In Case You Have Forgotten It

Or Just Need A Lil' Reminder:

Jesus Christ The Lord Loves You Greatly, Sufficient 

And 

Enough 

To Have An Holy Angel Guard Your Head 

And 

Guide Your Feet 

And 

Influence You To Do The Good And The Right Always! 

The Holy Angel's Job 

Is 

To Protect You  ... God's Property 

And 

Get You ... His Greatly-Beloved Child

Back Into His Heavenly House Of 

Peace, Joy And Rest ... Safely! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of Faith

Born Of Love

Living With Hope

Trusting The Promise

Secure In The Knowledge That 

We Are Headed Home 

So, Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not, Do Not, Don't Permit 

The Condemned And Damned Liar 

To Short-Circuit Your Hope 

And 

Mamaguy You Into Forsaking Your Walk Home! 

You Can Do It ...

Stick To The Truth Even If It Kills You: 

Jesus Christ Will Raise To Life Eternal

The Faithful-To-The-Truth Dead 

Aka Those Who Are Faithful To Him Who Is The Truth! 

We Are In A Can't-Lose War! 

Please Don't Throw Away Your Victory 

By Following The Lying Banner Of 

The Enemy Of The Eternal Holy God

And

His Beloved Children!

Satan Hates Whoever

And Whatever

The Lord Loves!

 

Stick. To. The. Book. Of. Truth. 

Stand With Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life, For Life! 

Believe The Word 

And 

Live Right To Live Eternally 

With The Light That Will Have Destroyed 

Sin, Satan And Sinners! 

Truth Is Peace! 

Truth To You! 

PRAYER: Father, Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need!

 

Heavenly Father, 
We Come In Faith All Doubts Discarded! 

Please Help Us To Remember That 
We Are Your Greatly-Beloved Possession 
By Creation And By Sacrifice
And That We Have Been Purchased From The Last Enemy, Death
With Innocent Blood And Not Silver Or Gold! 

Please Help Us To See And Express Our Need 
For Jesus' Gift Of Salvation 
And, In Mercy
Please Grant To Each Of Us The Strength To Look Up
The Courage To Call Out
And The Opportunity To Confess And Repent Of Our Known Sin 
And Take Our Jesus For Our Everlasting Portion! 

Father, 
Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need
That Is Fit For The Age And Stage Of Our Journey To Hill Zion
And Continue To Bless Us 
With Your Daily Gift Of Faith That Cannot Fail
And Courage For The Journey That We Must Make 
To Reach Eternal Life! 

Please Help Us To Call Sin By Its Rightful Name 
And To Stop Making Concessions To It Or Excuses For It!
We Need Your Help, Lord
As Delivered Unto Us By That Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit That Leads Us Into All Truth!
Please Pity Us And Pour Out Of Your Spirit
For We Are Calling In Hope! 

Remember, Dear Father
The Physically, Mentally, Spiritually
And Emotionally Ill Amongst Us 
And Grant Sufficient Grace 
That Is Known Accessible And Available! 

Please Help Us 
To Be Kind To Ourselves And Each Other
And To Hold On To Our Blessed Hope 
For Our Jesus Is Surely Coming! 

May Our Love For You Grow 
As Your Love For Us Daily Shows Up And Pours Out!
We Love You And We Thank You For The Myriad Blessings
That We Moment By Moment Receive Of Your Holy Hand!

With Grateful Hearts In Known-Blessed Lives
We Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers
And With All Humility
We Ask That You Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
Jesus Christ The King
Your Only Begotten Son
Our Savior, Lord And God!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Property!

If We Are Sealed By The Holy Spirit

Whom Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us

And 

We Wittingly Reject Jesus Christ 
Through Whom, Alone, We Get Home To The Father

And 

Who, Alone, Gives Us The Holy Spirit

We Are Not Sealed Against The Wrath Of The Lamb

We Cannot Get Home To Glory

And

We Are Damned For All Eternity

Because

We Choose To Stand In Our Sin ... Alone!

Consider Sodom And Gomorrah!

Consider The Antedelluvians

And

The Canaanite Tribes

Wiped Clean From The Earth

And

Ask Your Self These Wise Questions:

Do I Want To Live Eternally!?! 

Why Should I Die

When I Have The Security Blanket

The God Of All Grace

Who Holds Up The Sky

And Yet

Gently Calls Me Home

In His Love Eternally To Abide!?!

There Are No Place Space Holders

In The Economy Of The Eternal God 

And

Any Of Us Who Will Be Made Profitable

By ... And To ... Him

Shall Reap The Cumberer Of The Earth's Reward! 

Hold Up! 

What's A Cumberer Of The Earth

And What Is Their Reward!?! 

I'm So Glad That You Asked That Question! 

When You Plant A Fruit Tree

Do You Plant It As An Ornamental

Or To Receive Fruit!?! 

I Want Fruit, Lots Of Fruit To Eat, To Enjoy! 

Okay! 

Now, If, Let's Say, Your Fruit Tree Was Killed By Blight! 

What Would You Do!?! 

It Ain't Got No More Purpose So I'd Cut It Down 

And I'd Burn The Remnants So That Blight Cannot

Infest My Other Trees! 

Now, Let's Say That Your Good-Fruit Tree

Over Time

Slowly Started Producing Less And Less Fruit

And 
What It Did Produce Was Blighted, Inedible

Until It Stopped Producing Altogether! 

What Would You Do!?! 

Well, Considering That I Once Had A Tree Like That

And I Dug At It Roots

Manured It

Fed It Medicine

Talked To It

Had Professionals Attend To It

And Even Prayed For It

And Finally Having No Hope Of It Ever Again Being 
Profitable, Beneficial, Worthwhile
Good For Anything Save Firewood

Hard Though It Was

I Made The Executive Decision

Said: " Don't Want To Be You!"

And ... With Great Malice

I Chopped That Puppy Down

And I Burned The Stump! 

It Ain't Never Coming Back! 

I Hear You! 

Why Did You Go To Such Lengths!?! 

The Lord Know I Wanted To Save My Tree! 

Oh, How I Loved That Tree! 

I Expensed Myself

And I Did Everything Possible To Preserve Its Life 

But It Was In Vain

And Since It Was Serving No Purpose

Or More Specifically 

Since It Was Not Serving Its Appointed, Expected Purpose

It Had To Go

So I, Within My Rights, Destroyed It! 

It Was Just Taking Up Space

And Who Knows

It Could Have Infected The Other Trees

It Could Have Blighted The Land! 

So, My Wise Friend

Would Not Say Then That 
Your Unproductive Tree Was An Encumbrance 

Or More Specifically

A Cumberer Of The Ground!?! 

Well, Hot Diggety Dog! 

I Sure Would! 

The Bottom Line ... 

We Are Here To Know God

To Be Made Right With God

To Serve God

And

To Be Made Right

To Get Back Home To Our Father

And

If We Through Loving The Lie

Become Blighted To The Truth

Our Owner ... By Creation

Our Owner ... By Redemption

Through His Shed Blood

Exercises The Only Remedy Available

To Truly Get Rid Of The Problem

Or Face Losing The Whole Planting! 

Simply Put
We Have The Free Will To Make The Free Choice:

Do ... Or Be Doomed! 

The Options ... 

Serve Your Purpose

Or

Be Severed On Purpose! 

Never Forget, Brethren

You Are Not The Owner Of The Property

Your Body You Inhabit

Nor The Land Upon Which You Live! 

You Are Almighty God's Property

And

He Expects A Return On His Investment ... Plus Usury

Aka Profit! 

You Have His Breath Of Life

And

The Gift Of The Holy Spirit

To Teach And To Lead You Into All Truth

Thus Making You Profitable

To Your Creator, Lord, God And King! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Choose To Live Up To Your God-Given Potential

And

Be Blessed To Occupy Your Prepared-For-You Place

In The Eternal City Where Love Dwells! 

Be Not Deceived To Walk In Your Own Way

Which Will Lead You To Destruction

The Sure Damnation! 

Believe The Word! 

Receive The Heaven-Sent Promises

And

Be Assured That You Will Be Forever Blessed! 

Beloved, 

Our Heavenly Father Bears With Us Long! 

By Prayer And Supplication

By The Intercession Of Our Lord

He Is Encouraged To Bear With Us

A Little Longer

But

Be Ye Warned And Armed

He Will Not Bear With Us Always! 

Best By

Use By

Expiration Date ...

We Are At Our Best

When We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin

And

Choose To Willingly Obey The Lord! 

We Are To See To It That We Settle Accounts With 

And 
Perform Service For The Lord

Before The Day Of Our Death! 
There Is No Second Probation For Mankind!

If We Have Not Chosen Jesus Christ

As Our Eternal Portion

Through Confession, Repentance
Obedience And Faithfulness

Our Expiration Date 

Is 
The Day Of Our Demise ... Our Death
And

Our Account With Our Maker

Is

Effectively Closed! 

There Is No Turning Back

To Correct!

There Is No Going Forward

To Enjoy!

All That Is Left To Such

Is 
The Day Of Destruction 

At The Second Resurrection! 

Think About It!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD:

What We Do For Almighty God

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Is
Remembered And Recorded 

So Your Work Is Not Vain! 

Think On The Promises Purchased

And 
The Sacrifices That Our Lord Has Made

And

Consider What These Gifts To Us Have Cost Him

And

Recognize How And Why The Total Bill Was Paid 
With Shame ... You Are The Reason
And 
Gratitude ... He Loves You And You Are Forgiven
And 
Love And Devotion
Because
You Can't Help But Desire Him!

The Promise 

Is 

Given To All Who Choose To Believe That 

A Place In The Father's House 
Is 
Being Prepared For Us There 

And 
There We Will Be Received 

To Live With The King, The Lord God, Holy Divine

So Dare To Accept The Gift Of An Everlasting, Blessed, Future 

Where Life, New, Is Sublime! 

Dare To Trust The Word Of The One Who Is The Truth
Who Is The Life

And 

Who Directs Us On The Road Home 
Because 

He Is The Way: We Do Not Walk Alone!

Remember ...

The Father Wants Us In His House

His Joy And Glory To Share! 

Exercise Your Gift Of Faith 
And 
For The Grand Journey Prepare! 

The Walk To Freedom Is Not Easy!

The Way To Damnation Is Not Hard! 

The Walk To Freedom ... From Sin
From Self, Death, Hell And The Grave
By Our Lord Christ's Great, Encompassing, Grace

Gives Unto Us ... Who Are Willing To Submit To His Will
The Expected End ... The Prophesied Future
The Promised Eternity With Him

But

The Way To Damnation ... Unwisely Dying In Known-Sin
Ensures That Living In Sin

Will Be The Unrepentant Sinner's Final Hymn! 

Have Faith In God! 

He Is The Great Creator! 

Have Faith In God! 

He Is The One True Friend! 

Have Faith In God! 

He Will Reward Your Labor! 

Have Faith, Dear Friend 

In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Have Faith In God! 

He Knows The End From The Beginning! 

Have Faith In God! 

In Him Is Abundant Living! 

Have Faith In God! 

His Truth Demands Of Us Sacrificial Giving! 

Have Faith, Dear Friend

In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

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

Almighty God's Grace

Is

Free

To Me And To Thee!

Rooted ... and Grounded!

... And Since By Almighty God's Great Grace
I'm Rooted And Grounded In The Eternal

The Rock Of Ages

Simon Can't Move Me

Because

Simon Can't Move Him!

That's A Mighty Big Boast From A Scruffy Little Thing Like You!

You May Want To Add A Handle To That Description

And 
You May Want To Remember That Epic Battle
Between Little David

And 
The Big-Able Giant Goliath Of Gath!

Goliath, That Battle-Hardened Colossus Of A Man

Boasted About What He Would Do Little David

And

Depended Totally On Manmade Implements Of War

And 
His Own Vaunted Strength

To Win The Battle For Him!

Unfortunately For That Boastful Giant
Little David Personally Knew His Maker

His God

And

His Everlasting King

And

Choosing To Operate In The Strength Of The Almighty Power 
And
In The Working Knowledge Of Proven Faith
He Had No False And Prideful Confidence 
To Uselessly Place In Himself To Win The Day!
He Placed His Lively Trust In His Lord
And
His Daily Gift Of Faith Was Rewarded!

You Could Learn Something Good From Little David!

Okay, Okay!
I Feel You!
I Was Just Irritated That You Would Dare To Be So Bold
In Front Of That Octopus, Simon Gottit-Grabbit
Who We All Know Is Someone Bigger, Tougher, Stronger
More Connected And More Powerful Than Yourself!

My Friend,
Simon Gottit-Grabbit 
Is 
An Unrepentant Sinner Who Is On A Clock!
Hear Me Well, And Don't Ever Forget What I Say That

Those Who Profit Off Doing Wickedness 
And
Gratuitously Indulging Planned Sin

In The Foolish Belief That No One Can See 

Or Stop Their Constant Progress

Are Like Animals Raised ... Over-Fed And Fattened

For Sure Slaughter! 

Believe Me When I Tell You That

There Is The Day Of Reckoning Coming For Us All 

And 

All Those Who Cared Not For Their Purchased 
And 
Redeemed Souls 

Will At Last See, Know And Understand, That 

The Living God Eternal Has The Final Say

And 

Will Take No Prisoners! 

We Are Not Our Own Property

And 

There Is No Profit In Sin 
Which Always Issues Death As Wages 

For All Workers! 

The Gift Of God To Man 

Is 

Eternal Life Of Joy, Peace, Love 

And 

Pleasures Forevermore! 

I Know And Accept My Need For The Savior
And
I Live For Jesus Christ 
Who Is My Strength And My Sure Peace
And
I Am Humbled When I Consider That
But For The Grace Of The Living God
I Could Be As Simon Is!
May The Lord Have Mercy On His Soul!

Please, My Friend
Choose To Do Good 
And 

Live For Jesus Christ

Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!
