HARD THINGS BREAK: Stubbornness Is Like Idolatry!

 

Today Is The Day 

To Give Solid Thought To Destroying 

Our Stubborn Will 

And 

Giving Our All, Body, Mind, And Spirit 

To Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

If You Were A Stubborn Child

Or Had, Or Presently Have A Stubborn Child In Your Household

You Would Know That This Blessed Child Would Rather Die 

Before They Would Accept Or Acknowledge Defeat 

For Any Reason! 

They Do Not Fear Parent Or Any Adult Authority Figure

And 

Have Boldly, Proudly, Chosen Death With The Foolish  

Than To Humbly Accept The Living Wisdom Of The Wise-Alive! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Not Proud Like Lucifer-Satan! 

Godly Fear Is A Criterion For All 

Who Will Stand Without Shame Or Terror

In The Presence Of Our Jehovah God! 

We Must Come To The Knowledge That 

It Is Better To Suck Salt With Our Savior 

And

Be Eternally Blessed

Than To Sup Deada Aka Eat Unclean Meat 

With The Boldly Wicked

Those Who Walk Wise In Their Own Blind Eyes! 

Stubbornness Can Be Equated With Idolatry 

Because 

One Is Saying That They Only Answer To Themselves

Hence ... They Are A False God! 

Brethren Beloved,

We Did Not Create Ourselves

Cannot Keep Ourselves Alive

Or Provide Food For Ourselves 

... And ... 

It Is Ordained That 

We Each Must Give Account To Our King Jesus

Almighty God

The Judge Of All Flesh

For Everything That We Do In Our Flesh! 

Almighty God Doesn't Answer To Anyone

Nor Will He Share His Glory With Another! 

Remember That The Humble Bow Now 

And 

The Stubbornly Proud Will Burn Then

In The Day Appointed! 

Hard Things Break 

So Let's Not Be Wrong And Strong 

To Save Face With The Crowd! 

Please Walk Wise With The Meek: 

Fear God! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Thine Will Be Done In Me, Dear Lord!

If Nowhere Is Become Now Here 

And 

Something Is Become Some Thing

Should Not You And I Seek After Our Holy God 

Who Sees And Knows All Things

And 

Is In And Above All Things!?! 

Beloved, 

We Know That We All Have Our Priorities Skewed 

And That 

The Height Of Our Values Is Really Bare Basement! 

Should Not We Seek After Our God Alive 

Who, Believed, Trusted, Honored, Worshipped

And 

Obeyed

Is 

Able To Provide For And Protect Us

Direct And Correct Us

And 

Refocus Our Thoughts When The Good Parts 

We, Short-Sighted, Decidedly Neglect!?! 

Jesus Christ The Lord

 He Who Made Blind Eyes See

The Lame To Leap

The Deaf To Hear

The Dumb To Speak

And 

By The Risen Dead The Praises Of 

The Life-Giver To Declare

Is 

Worthy To Hear From Us 

Who Hold Him In Godly Fear: 

"I Am Thine, Oh Lord! 

Thy Will Be Done In Me!" 

We Have Heaven To Gain 

So, Dear Ones, Let Us Willingly, Wisely

Boldly, Allow Almighty God's Love 

To Amaze Us Today, Today, And Forever! 

Peace! 

The Judge Of All Flesh Cares How You Fare!

She Was Speaking Rather Loudly 

As She Firmly Said To Her Companion: 

"I Am Being Judged! 

Who Is Judging Me Is Kind To Me! 

They Give Me Whatever I Need 

And I Don't Even Have To Ask!" 

Beloved, 

The Young Lady Was Speaking About A Human 

But 

I Tell You That Her Words Form 

The Best Description I Have Ever Heard Of 

Who Our Lord Jesus Christ Is 

And 

What He Does For Us! 

People Are Judged Based On What They Have Done 

Or Should Have Done, By Published Requirement, In The Flesh! 

Yet, The Judge Of All Flesh

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love ... Our Redeemer

Is 

Infinitely Kind To Us Careless

Often Callous-Minded, Cantankerous Ones! 

Jesus Christ Gives Us The Perpetual Blessings Of Our Needs 

Without Our Ever Having To Say: 

"Please, May I Have ...!?!" 

This Is Truly Amazing! 

A Loving, Giving, Forgiving, Kind

Provider, Sustainer Judge 

Is 

Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

This Says Something Profound About Our King: 

He Has Compassion, Foresight

Available Resources

And 

He Cares About How We Feel 

And

How We Fare On The Rugged Road Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

This Is The Holy One 

Whom We Should Hold In Godly Fear Aka Awe 

With Love And Amazed Devotion 

Because 

He Is Good ... And Gracious! 

Our God Is All-Powerful 

And

He Can Destroy Us 

But

He Chooses Deliverance For Us! 

What A Mighty God We Serve: 

Give Him Praise! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Control Is Cream For The Proud And Greedy!

Pride And Greed Go Together 

And 

They Are Poor Substitutes For Love: 

They Lead To Planned Sin! 

The More Pride We Display

The Less Love We Enjoy! 

The More Greed We Incubate

The More Pride We Activate! 

Beloved, 

All Who Take Pleasure In Pride And Greed 

Will Ultimately Utilize Pressure And Force 

To Get Their Own Way

To Inflict Their Will Upon Others! 

Think! 

Our Dear Savior Saves! 

He Made The Way For Us To Be Saved 

But 

He Cannot Save Us Until We Acknowledge That 

We See Our Obvious Danger

And In Godly Fear

Recognize That He, Alone, Is Able To Save Us

And In Faith

Call On Him For His Saving Grace, His Saving Power

And In Need

Humbly Reach For His Outstretched Hand Of Help And Healing! 

Jesus Christ Aka Love 

Is 

Not Proud

And 

He Is Not Greedy For Converts! 

He Knows All Who Are His Very Own! 

Our Dear Jesus Invites Us To His Side 

So He Has No Need To Use Force 

To Bring, Bend, And Bind Us To Him

And Thereby 

Usurp Our Free-Will 

And 

Freedom To Choose To Accept His Will Or Not! 

Our Jesus Has Manners: Satan And His Kind Do Not! 

Present Comfort

Does Not Equal Future Peace ...

Even In The Face Of Unchained Unkindness

Never Permit Anyone To Force Your Will 

And 

Never Give In To Wickedness 

To Receive A "Little Comfort" Now For Your Body! 

The Wickedness Of Pride And Greed 

Is 

Never Satisfied With A Little Bit

Since Control Is Their Cream! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Accept Jesus Christ's Perfect Gift Of Love 

And 

Let Satan's Pride And Greed Be What They Are ... Damned!

Peace! 

RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE: No Need To Fear The Feisty Fiend!

The Lord Jesus Christ Has Not Given To Us 

The Malevolent Spirit Of Fear  

So, Therefore

It Must Be A Putrid Package From The Damned Devil! 

Ungodly Fear Is A Demonic Device: 

The Perfect Love Of The Holy God 

Casts Out Ungodly Fear! 

Ungodly Fear Causes Hope To Decamp: 

Saving Faith Uses Hope As A Lamp 

To Light The Way To The Path That 

Keeps One Within The Borders Of 

The Camp Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Beloved, 

There Is A Spiritual Battle Being Waged For Ownership

Aka Possession Of

Aka Control Of

Your Free-To-Choose Mind! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Daily, Graciously, Gives To Each Of Us 

A Measure Of His Unfailing Faith 

To Be Aggressively Worked 

To Get Us Through That Day ... Alone! 

Are You Being Evilly Inspired 

To Do Wrong Through Satanic Fear 

Or

Are You Using Your God-Given

Lovingly-Provided  Equipment 

To Do The Good And The Right!?! 

We Cannot Serve Two Masters! 

We Must Not Use Faith Fretfully! 

We Must ... Through Fervent Prayer

Choose To Use Our Daily Gift Of Daily Faith 

To Force Fear To Flee From Us! 

Resistance Is Not Futile! 

Since Resisting The Devil 

By The Word Of God

Through The Grace Of God

Makes Him Flee

Resisting His Instrument Of Torture 

By Using Your Shield Of Faith 

Should Make Ungodly Fear Likewise Flee! 

Brethren, Greatly Beloved

Please Have Godly Fear For The Gracious Father

And 

Most Assuredly Know That

All Will Be Well! 

Peace!

Our Doings Are Going To Be Our Own Chastisers!?!

If You've Not Heard It Before, Hear It Now: 

There Is No Future For The Wicked And Their Wickedness

Nor For Sinners And Sin! 

The Author Of Sin, Evil And Wickedness Shall Perish 

Along With His Prized Child 

And 

All Those Persons Who Unwisely Believe That 

Their Felt Needs Supercede Doing 

The Divine Will Of The Holy God! 

Beloved, 

Please Consider That Every Word Of God 

Is 

Pure And True 

And

When The Lord Clearly Says That 

Our Doings Are Going To Be Our Own Chastisers

We Would Do Well To Tremble 

And 

Hold Our Maker, Savior, Redeemer 

And

Judge In Godly Fear Aka Awe! 

The Lord Has Promised That 

Sin Shall Not Rise Up A Second Time 

And

If Sin, Encompassing Evil And Wickedness, Has No Future

Would It Not Be Eternally Profitable To Us 

Who Have Taken The Lord Christ As Our Everlasting Portion 

To Choose To Follow After Christ 

And 

His Righteousness 

And

Give Self, Satan, Sin, Evil, And Wickedness 

The Olde Heave Ho Aka "Get Lost, Be Gone, Go Away!?!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Do Not Pet And Feed The Sin In Your Life

Because 

It Will Sting You Like A Serpent

Gore You Like A Wild Hog

Peck You Like A Vulture

And 

Rip You To Shreds Like A Raging, Hungry Lion! 

Jesus Christ The King Saves: 

Confess Your Known Sin

Repent Aka Forsake Your Sin 

And

Choose To Be Blessed And Saved! 

Peace With The Lord Christ

Is

Possible

In

This Dark World Of Sin!

Your Sin Cannot Determine The Depth Of Christ's Love For You!

 

The Size Of Our Sin Does Not 

And

Will Never Determine The Depth Or Breadth Of 

Jesus Christ's Love For Any One Of Us 

And

By This Token

None Of Us Should Ever Choose 

To Not Take Our Burden Of Sin To The Lord 

By The Heartfelt, Humble, Prayer Of Faith! 

Unrepented Sin 

Is 

Like A Foot Callus Willfully 

And 

Unwisely Left Unattended!

 

Systematically Ignored 

That Callus Causes You To Walk Funny From Pointed Pain 

And 

With The Constant Pressure Of Use ... And Abuse

A Soft Spot Develops Under It 

Which Becomes An Ulcer 

Which, Left Unattended, Will Jeopardize 

The Health Of Your Foot

Then Your Leg

And 

Ultimately Your Life! 

A Callused Aka Hardened Heart 

Overwhelmed By The Pressure Of Sin 

Is 

The Devil's Playground: 

Such A Burdened, Heavy,  Heart 

Respects Neither The Divinity Of The Living God 

Nor The Sanctity Of Human Life! 

Beloved, 

Not One Of Us Needs To Walk Such A Path 

To Eternal Destruction! 

We Are Graciously Called To Life

To Lay Our Burden Of Sin At The Feet Of The Sin Bearer

Who Is Our Very Own Great Physician

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life! 

He Intimately Knows You Personally!

Please Reach For The Extended Hand That Helps 

And 

Heals 

And

Dare To Choose To Live In The Light That Leads To Life! 

Our Jesus Has A Place For You That Can Only Be Filled By You! 

Dare To Be Healed: 

Draw Near To Christ Without Fear Or Trembling

And

Be Forever Blessed! 

You, Dear Loved, Are Not Alone!

Peace!

Be Not Deceived:

Happy To Live In Sin

Is

The Sophisticated Lie

Of

Satan The Damned!

Don't Be Free Food For Satan!

 

When The Angel Of The Lord Sets Up Shop In Our Vicinity

We Can Rest Assured That 

Deliverance Will Be The Outcome For Us 

Who Fear Aka Hold The Almighty God In Awe: 

We Reverence His Majesty And His Power! 

Conversely, It Is Safe To Say That 

Those Persons Who Do Not Fear The Living God

Are Subject To The Malevolence Of Satan And His Fallen Angels 

Who Are Determined To Accomplish Their Destruction! 

Beloved, 

The Angels Of The Living God 

Are Here To Minister To Us 

Who Shall Be The Inheritors Of Christ's Free Salvation! 

Those Who Choose To Walk Under Their Own Banner

Doing Everything That Carnal Flesh Desires 

Are Free Food For Satan

The Roaring, Always-Hungry, Lion 

Looking For Someone Easy To Devour! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

You Forfeit The Protection Of Holy Angels 

When You Walk In Willful Disobedience To  

"Thus Saith The Lord" 

By Going Where You Shouldn't 

And 

Doing What You Ought Not To Do! 

The Holy Fear Of The Lord In Our Hearts 

Is 

Our Sure Safeguard Against Indulging 

In Presumptuous Aka Planned Sin Aka Iniquity! 

Doing Wrong When You Know To Do Right 

Is 

Lawlessness 

And

Lawlessness Is Sin 

And 

The Wages Of Sin Is Death! 

Be Wise: 

Walk Enduringly Faithfully 

And 

In The Will Of The Lord Of Life 

Who Constantly Blesses Us With Awesome Goodness! 

Dare To Fear Almighty God 

And 

Choose To Be Eternally Blessed!

CALAMITY: Thou, God, Seest Me!?!

Because The God Of Grace Doesn't Issue Punishments 

Immediately Upon Our Offending His Holiness

Men ... Failing To Hold Their Creator 

And

Savior In Godly Fear

Become Bold To The Point Of Stupidity 

And

With The Voice Of The Infidel Unbeliever, Say: 

"Who Sees Me!?! 

I Can Do Whatever I Want 

And

There Is No One Who Can Stop Me!" 

Beloved, 

Them's Fightin' Words! 

Unless You Made Yourself 

And 

Are The Creator, Savior, And Redeemer Of 

Your Own Soul

You Gonna Cry! 

The Lord In Zion Reigneth:

Heaven Is His Home

And

Earth Is His Footstool

Aka The Planet Upon Which We All Temporarily Reside!

The Lord ... Himself

- Who Is The God Almighty - 

Has Plainly Said:

"You Despise Wisdom

And

You Would Not Accept My Reproofs

So I Will Laugh

When Your Calamity Comes 

Because

You Do Not Hold God

Wisdom

Or Eternity In Your Heart!"

Foolishness Ain't Sense 

And 

Throwing Away Sure Pennies 

To T'ief Possible Pounds Surely Ain't Wise! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Dare To Stand Up Straight!

Dare To And Do Right!

Daringly Walk Wisely

And

Decidedly Discard Man-God Folly! 

Choose To Despise 

The Dark Debilitating Dankness Of Sin 

And 

Lovingly Embrace The Living Light Of Truth!

 

Choose To Do What Is Good And Right

Because 

Therein Is Blessing 

And

Remember Always That The Lord Jesus Christ

Is

King Glorious

And

The Final Judge Of All Flesh! 

Judgment May Be Slow 

But

It Is Sure To Be Right On Time

Because

The Living God

Whose Glory Is His Character Is His Glory 

The Maker And Ruler Of Time

- To Which No May May Say "Nay!" -

The God Of Order

Keeps Time Perfectly!

Check Yourself

Before You WrechYourself:

Humble Yourself

In The Sight Of The Lord

And 

He Will Lift You Up

At The Time Appointed! 

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools!

KJV Luke 15:10

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

 

Anyone Who Does Not Hold Our Almighty God In Godly Fear 

Is 

Fair Game To Satan And His Fallen Angels 

Who Will Work Diligently To Help Them Accumulate Enough Sin 

To Acquire The Fare For The One-Way Ticket 

To Hell 'N Damnation! 

All Of Us Already Have Enough Sin

But

The Committed-To-Christ Child Of God 

Being In Awe ... Godly Fear ... Of His Maker

And 

Believing The Word Of Promise

Will Choose To Daily Confess 

And 

Repent ... Turn Away From ... Known Sin! 

Time For A Think-Think ... 

Let Us Consider The Invitation To Confess ... And Repent

The Promise To Forgive ... And To Cleanse

The Decision To Follow Christ ... And Live By Faith That Cannot Fail Us

And 

The Blessed Hope Aka Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory! 

We Have Reason For Our Blessed Hope! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools! 

They Are "Yes, Lord!" And "Amen!" 

For All The Saints Of God And Christ 

Who Have Resolved To Live For The Lord Of Life

Who Exchanged His Life For Ours 

So That We Have The Opportunity 

To Transact A One-For-One Fair Exchange Of

Our Sinful Life For His Holy Life

Our Mortality For His Immortality

And 

Our Perishing Planet For His Perfect Paradise! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Let The Holy Spirit Guide You Into All Truth: 

Dare To Strive For The Crown That Doesn't Tarnish! 

Let Heaven Rejoice Over You Today! 

Truth And Peace

Are One!

The Path To Glory

The Christian's Path To Glory Requires Two Things 
Which Many With The Modern Mind-Set Of "Gimme!" 
Find Alien To Their Way Of Thinking 
And 
Being! 

The Way Home To The Lord Christ 
Requires Effort
And
Cooperation
Because
The Lord Is Offering The Gift Of Life Everlasting
- With Joy And Peace -
For Which He Has Infinitely Paid
To Make Available To Us All! 

The Gift 
Is 
There For Us To Take At Will
And 
Open 
And 
Utilize
But
Jesus Christ Will Never Do For Us 
What We Must Do For Ourselves: 
We Must Willingly Cooperate With Him 
Through The Agency ... Through The Working 
Aka The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us In All Truth! 

Grieve Not The Holy Spirit

By Whom You Are Sealed

Against The Great Day Of

Small Things!

Brethren,

For Us To Reach The Heavenly Home
We Must Express Godly Desire 
And 
Reach For The Extended Holy Hand! 
We Must Open The Free Gift Freely Given
And
We Must Use The Blessed Gift 
In The Manner Intended! 

Let's Remind Ourselves ...

We Can Do All Things 
Through Christ ... Who Strengthens Us 
And
We Must Accept That 
There Is Nothing Impossible With God! 

The Lord Has Done All The Heavy Lifting 
And 
All We Are Required To Do 
Is 
To Be Willing To Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation 
With Godly Fear 
And 
Trembling! 

With A Little Human Effort
We ... By Faith ...  Must Choose To Cooperate With 
And 
Follow Our Jesus 
As And Where He Leads! 

Remember, Beloved

Anything Worth Having 
Is 
Worth The Work Needed To Acquire it! 
Dare To Yield Your Will To King Jesus: 
Peace With Almighty God 
Is 
The Blessing! 

Only The Obedient

Enduringly Faithful

Child Of The Living God

Will Hear

"Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!"

KNOWING: Heaven With Jesus Christ Is Our Home!

We Who Hold The Almighty God In Godly Fear ... In Awe

Trust The Unerring, Infallible, Word Of 
This Great And Glorious, Giving, Blessing, Holy God 

Whose Ways Are Perfect 

And 

Whose Promises Cannot Fail To Be Performed! 

In This God ... Our Jesus Christ

We Have The Lively Promise Of A Known End: 
Heaven With Him When The Last Trumpet Shall Sound

Plus Immortality ... We Shall Live Forever

And 

Incorruptibility ... We Can't Die Or Ever Sin Again! 

In The Realm Of The Flesh, We Die And We Sin: 

In The Realm Of The Spirit Of The Holy God

We Have The Good Life To Look Forward To 

And 

We May Taste This Future Life Now 

By Living With Active Faith

Cherishing Willing Obedience

And 

Walking Wise In The Certain Knowledge That 

Our Jesus Has A Home For Each One Of Us Personally! 

Beloved, 

It Is Appointed, Once, For Man To Die

But

The One Who Dies Having Lived In The Holy Faith 
Given To The Saints Of God And Christ

Will Die Secure In The Knowledge Of 
The Gift Of Eternal Life With Christ! 

Heaven Is Home: 

Let No Created Being ... Fallen Angel Or Wicked Human

Kill Your Hope Tree! 

Brethren,

Live Like You Intend To Inhabit 
Your God-Built House And Eternal Home!
I Pray To See You All In The Beautiful City!

The Lord Knows That I'm Trying!

The Lord Knows That I Often Fail Miserably 
But I'm Never Gonna Stop Or Give Up!

We Are Made of Dust 
With The Breath Of The Living God Added
Which Makes Us Living Souls! 
We All Are Born In Sin
And
We All Have Sinful Natures
But
The Word Of The Lord Nurtures Us
To Do The Good And The Right
So That We, Willing, May All Be Saved!

Please Refuse To Look At Your Mistakes
After You Have Willingly Confessed 
And 
Sincerely Repented Of Them To Our Loving Lord!

Choose, Instead
To Look At Jesus Christ Through The Lens Of The Living Word
And 
Choose To Believe That 
The Good Work That Jesus Christ Has Started In You
He Is Utterly Going To Finish! 

Our God ... Your God
Is 
Bigger Than Your Sin
So Please Keep Your Faith Fixed 
And 
Your Eyes Focused On Christ Jesus! 

We Are All Sinners!
Those Who Choose To Believe The Word
Like Us ... Like You
Are Sinners ... Saved!
Jesus Christ Is Your Personal Savior:
Believe It And Live With Joy In Jesus! 

Remember ...

Almighty God See Our Tears
Hears Our Prayers
And
Is Never Indifferent To Our Pains, Fears Or Uncertainties!
Keep Praying!
Keep Trusting
And
Keep Maintaining Your Focus On The Lord Christ
And
His Gift To Us Of Eternal Life!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

AMEN!!!
