VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tired ... Tried!?!

KJV Psalms 66:18

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Will You Wear On Your Head What Your Feet Will Walk Upon!?! 

I Was Tired! 

I Am Getting Tired! 

I Am Tired! 

I Tried! 

I Will Be Tried! 

I Am Being Tried! 

Each Of These Statements Mean Something Different 

And

All Of Them Are True 

For All Of Us ... Now ... Today! 

Beloved, 

Consider This: 

You Are Not Letting Go Of That Person, Place, Or Thing 

Because 

It, That, She, He Known Finite 

And

Slowly Killing You Figuratively And Literally 

"Is All That I Have!" 

But

You Have No Problem At All With Casting Into The Flames Of 

"My Foolish Heart's Damnable Desire!" 

The Infinite Being You Truly Need 

Who Moment By Moment Is And Gives You Your Life

Help, Hope, Healing 

And

The Key To His Heavenly Home! 

Lord Jesus, Make This Make Sense! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are A Stubborn And Gainsaying People 

Who Would Criticize To His Face 

The Very Jesus Who Saves Us 

If We Could See Him Face To Face Today! 

Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry

Our Use Of Which Will Have Satan Counting Coup 

And 

Our Lord The Judge Subtracting Saints! 

Please Don't Do A Judas And Sell Heaven's Perfect Treasure 

To Get Earth's You'll Never Spent It Silver! 

Tired!?! 

Add Jesus The Savior! 

Tried!?! 

Add Christ The King! 

With Jesus In Your Heart

All That He Ordains For You To Have And Hold 

Will Be Added Unto You! 

We Are Dust: 

Dust Mines Gold 

And 

Gold Elevates Dust! 

Pray Without Ceasing 

And 

Mine The Scriptures! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays!

 

The Acquisition Of Knowledge Costs: 

The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays! 

Jesus Christ Saves:

We Know For Sure That He Saves! 

Of What Use Is Your Knowledge Of 

Jesus Christ's Free-To-You Salvation 

If 

You Don't, Can't, Won't Use It To Save Your Own Soul 

And 

Bless Others!?! 

With Knowledge Should Come Conviction! 

With Conviction Should Come Conversion! 

Conversion Leads To A Change Of Direction! 

The Changed Direction 

Should Lead To The Desired Destination Of 

The Forever-Blessed! 

The Forever-Blessed Shall Reside In Zion

The City Of The God Glorious! 

I Beseech Us All, Beloved, 

To Go For The Gold That 

Is 

Tried In The Fire Of Affliction 

Which Will Leave Us Pure, Undefiled, Blessed

And 

Sealed Against The Day Of Destruction

The Great Day Of Small Things

The Day Of Deliverance! 

Please Pray For Me As I Pray For You: 

The Effective Fervent Pray Of 

A Righteous Man, Woman And Child 

Availeth Aka Accomplishes Much! 

The Lord, Our God, Does Indeed See Us! 

May This Knowledge Help Us 

To See Him In The Beauty Of Holiness 

And 

Bless Us To Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Life 

So Expensively Purchased For Each Of Us Individually!

Peace! 

Worshiping God OR Worshiping G.O.D.!?!

We All Say The Same Thing

But 

It's Not The Same Thing We Believe!

We All Say We Believe In God

But

In That Statement

Many Practice To Deceive!

I Believe In The One God

The Triune Father, Son And Holy Spirit

The Maker, Savior, Sustainer And Redeemer Of All Mankind

And

My Life Is Tied Up In The Life Of Christ Is Tied Up In Mine

And

It Is From Him That I Have Boundaries And Behavioral Limits! 

Everybody That Believes In God Says That

So What's Your Point!?!

I Spell God With Capital "G" 
Because 
Jesus Christ, God, Leads And Feeds Me

Whilst A Myriad Others 
Aka Many In Positions Of Power Influence And Authority

Spell God As G.O.D.

All The While Pretensively Saying To The People That

To Them, Personally
G.O.D. Is All-Powerful ... Their All And Everything 

But

It Is A Cruel Deception On Two Fronts!

On The One Hand

They, Themselves, Consider Themselves God

Having The Power Of Life And Death 
Over The Multitudes Of Teeming Humanity!

And

On The Other Hand

Their G.O.D. ... Their Triune God 
Is 

Gold

Oil And 

Drugs 

And

Their Love And Longing

Their Access 

Their Apprehension 

Their Trade And Transport 

And 

Knowing Stockpiling Of The Wealth Of Their G.O.D. 

Is 
Causing Untold Misery, Destruction And Death The World Around! 

They Are Well Pleased With 
And 
Immensely Temporally Profited From And By Their "Worship!" 

You're A Liar! 
Worship Belongs To The Eternal God! 

Are You Blind, Willfully Blind Or Blinkered!?! 

You're Rude! 

You're Obtuse! 

I Don't Know What That Means! 

You're Not The Sharpest Tool In The Shed! 

Peaches, He Just Politely Called You Stupid! 

I May Be Slow To Understand

But When I Do Understand

I Understand Things Real Good

And Furthermore

I Am Wise ... Wise Unto Salvation

Because I Know Enough To Understand

To Recognize

To Accept

To Believe That

It Is The Living God

Through Jesus Christ The Righteous King

Who Alone Saves People Like Me

And All Who Choose To Trust Him At His Holy Word! 

Gold, Oil And Drugs Can't Save A Man's Soul

And All Who Worship At That Altar Are Idolaters! 

And Furthermore

I May Be A Donkey Compared To All Of You Race-Horses

And All Your Big G.O.D-Loving Mucky-Mucks

So Listen Well:

Satan Delivered His Message Through A Slick Serpent

But Jesus Christ The Lord ... The King Of Glory

Used Not A Sleek Race-Horse Like You All

But A Donkey Like Me To Deliver His Message Of Rebuke

To The Greedy For Gain, Soothsaying
Former Unimpeachable Prophet Of Almighty God 
Who Loved Profits Over Prophecy! 

Think About It! 

Pride Isn't A Good Look On Any Of You! 

I've Had My Say! 

Now, Here's My Back! 

Buy A Clue And Enjoy The View! 

Wow! He Sure Told Us!

Yes, He Did, And He Is Speaking The Truth!

Are You All Thinking What I'm Thinking!?!

You Betcha!
He's Got Us Dead To Rights In 1 Corinthians 1:27!

Cling To Jesus Christ The King

The Living, Eternal, Holy God

The Lord Of Life

To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation!

ROBBING THE SOUL: Praying On OR Preyed Upon!?!

Brethren,

Whatever Is Happening In Your Life, Pray!
Pray First, Last And Always
And
See To It That 
You Do Not Covet Anything That Anybody Has!

Do Not Be Jealous Of What Others Have To Pridefully Display 
Or To Whom They Have Apparent Access! 
You Don't Know What Deal They Made With Satan! 

Please See That You ... In Faith
Make A Covenant With The Lord Christ 
So That You Will Be Blessed 
And 
Saved Into The Eternal Kingdom! 

Remember That Everything On Earth 
Will Be Destroyed By The Lord Christ 
So Choose Life In Him
And 
Walk On Streets Of Gold! 
Having A Surfeit Of Gold In Your Pocket 
Is 
Pedestrian And Pointless
And
It Will Testify Against You
In The Great Day Of Small Things! 

Get Your Gold From Almighty God 
Who Created Gold
And  
Not From Man Who Digs For Gold! 
Covet Life With Christ! 

To Prove The Point About Profit And Loss
And
The True Blessing Found In Praying
Let Us Consider The Following Case:

First, And Foremost
No Created Being Is To Be Prayed Unto!
Man Is Not God
And
He Is Not Worthy To Praised Or Worshipped!

Worship The Creator

Not His Creation!

Secondly,
No Human Can Survive 
And 
Spiritually Prosper 
- Not Even For One Day Far Less For Thirty Days -
Without Sending Up ... By Employed And Working Faith
Their Petitions ... Requests
Their Prayers To Almighty God
In The Matchless Name Of Jesus Christ
Because
The Roaring Lion, Satan 
And 
His Demons Will Eat Them Alive
No. Salt. Required! 

If Man Will Not Pray To The Living God

He Is Prey For Satan

And

Waits To Become His Provender!

Prophet Daniel Prayed Three Times A Day 
And 
Chose To Obey Almighty God Rather Than Man
And 
Almighty God Honored The Prophet
In His Time Of Desperate Need! 

We Need To Pray To The Living God 
Like Our Lives Depend On It
Because
They Do! 

The Outcome Of Praying

Locks Lions' Mouths

And

Unlocks Prison Doors

And

The Lives Of Faithful Saints

Most Assuredly Secure!

Believe And Be Blessed ...

Praying In Child-Like Faith 
Is 
Power 
And 
Powerful!
All Of Our Strength Comes From Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who Commands Us To Pray
So In The Moment Of Your Need
Be Instantly And Constantly In Prayer
And
Pray Without Ceasing! 

Jesus Christ Keenly Felt The Need

To Be In Constant Communion

With His Father In Heaven!

Shouldn't You!?!

A Praying Saint Of Almighty God And Christ
Is 
The One Thing On This Earth That Satan
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Adversary Of Souls ... In Desperation
Strenuously Hates
Because
He Knows His Soon-Coming Fate!

Let's Weaken Satan Today: Pray, Pray, Pray! 

Our Holy And Eternal God Hears And Cares!

Exercise Your Daily Gift

Of

Daily Faith!!

Stop Betraying The Lord Christ!

Situationally Ethical 
Is 
A Christian
Supposedly Committed And Caring!
Situationally Ethical 
Is 
A Christian
Obviously Lacking In Daring!

Situationally Ethical ... The Christian
Has No Problem With Sharing
Sees No Problem With His Standard Of Living Paring
But
Seriously Has A Problem
When It Comes His Neck To Baring
To The Sharp Words
The Knife Cuts Of Malicious Gossip
The Tar Balls Of Lies And Snide Innuendo
Known Thrown Up Against
Those Committed Completely To The Lord Christ
Thrown At The Heads Of Those
Who Despise The Demonic Device
The Presumptuous Sin
The Heaven-Daring Deviltry
And
The Dogmatic Denials Of
Those Who Refuse To Honor The God Of Creation
The Very God Holy
Who Gives Unto Us Daily Living
Who Promises For Our Faithful, Obedient, Endurance
His Very Own Eternal Life!

Overcomers 
Will Have Substantial Reasons For Thanksgiving!

That's The Big Stuff
But
It's The Little Things Cultivated
That Grow
That Mature
That We Shall Here Address ...

Well, Well, Well!

Look At Who Just Walked Through The Door!

Mr. Committed Christian

Who Regularly Sells Out To Sin

For An Extra Five Cents

Thinking ... Believing

That The Living God

Will Not Desire Recompense!

Good Morning, Mr. Ethical!

Good Morning, Lil' Berry!
Have You Got Anything For Me Today!?!
I've Got Me A Cake That 
Needs Topping Off With A Plump Cherry!

Friends,
This Here Mr. Ethical
Has No Problem Speaking Through A Fork!
That's How His Tongue Got Split!

He Speaks Christian In The Light
Lives As A Sinner In The Dark
Loves The Lord On The Surface
And
Sleeps With The Devil
In Thoughts, Words And Deeds!
It's Always About His Needs!

He Is A Shark In The Dolphin Clan!

Please Permit Me 
To Personally Cut To The Chase:

This Person So Upright, Uptight
Is 
A Known Fence Jockey!
His Measure When It Comes To The Master's Ways
Changes
If It Is Possible A that He Will Reap A Little Berry!

If Profit Is Promised
Light Can Turn To Dark!
If Profit Is Possible
Bitter Can Become Sweet!
If Profit Is Sharing Its Aroma
Truth Can Be Cast Down Into The Street
And
Mr. Situationally Ethical ... The Christian
Who Is A Mere Professor
And
No Where Near A Possessor Of 
The Traits Of Character Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Has Conveniently Forgotten That 
The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect
Having No Chinks
No Cracks
No Rust
Rejecting All Shadow Of Turning
And
For Certain Sure
Has No Possibility Of Ever
With The Deceitful One
Consorting!

Chew On This ...

Committed Christians
Don't Follow The World!
They Don't Kiss The Devil's Ring!
They Don't Bow Before The Idols
And
For Certain Sure
They Done Sell Out The Savior
For The Convenience Of Carrying A Bulging Purse
That Only Holds Earth-Bound Gold!

The Christian In Name Only
Is 
Saved On ... By ... Church Donation Paper Only
Walks On The Earthly Stage Only
And
Will Receive For His Earned Reward
That Which Was Designed 
For The Devil And His Angels Only!

Brethren, Beloved

Don't Settle For Carrying Gold In A Purse!
Lift Up Your Gaze
And
Choose To "Settle" ForWalking On Streets Of Gold:
Now, That's The "Ticket"
In The Perfect World
Prepared For The Enduring Faithful
Who Do Not Sell Out To Sin
To Get The "Gains" Out Of A Curse!

Please Stop Betraying The Lord Christ!
What The Lord Has For His Known-Children
Is
Infinitely Far Beyond 
What Anyone On Earth Would Call "Niiiceee!"
Don't Fall For The Demonic Device!

OH, WORSHIP THE KING: Gold!?!

Those Who Live For Gold
Who Believe Owning Gold Is The Best Good
Who Consider Gold The Ultimate King
And
The Master Of Everything
Have Raised Up For Themselves
A Master
A Known-False God
And
Are Being Used ... Readily 
By Satan The Wannabe-God Fraud!

Living For Gold
By Gold
Through The Power Of Gold
Creates A False Sense Of Security That
The Lord God Almighty Warns His Beloved Children
Is Not 
Heaven Blessed Or Heaven Sent!

Earthly Gold 
Is 
Priceless To Carnal Man
But
Useless To The Man Heaven Bound
And
Requires One To Live By The Sight Of The Eye
And
Not The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Which Cannot Ever Die!

Faith 
Is 
A Firm Foundation!
Sight Always Tells The Lie!
Faith Is Sure And Secure
And
Innocent-Blood Pure
And
Possession Of This Faith
Will See One Entering By Right
Through Heaven's Pearly Gate-Door!

Jesus Christ Has Promised 
To Us Who Choose His Living Word To Believe
That We Shall Walk On Streets Of Purest Gold
And
Wear Crowns Of Gold
And
Since Our Heads Are To Be Covered In Gold
And
Our Feet Soled By Gold
Pray Tell Me, Beloved
Why Would Anyone Set Their Clock
Set Their Heart
Set Their Hope
Secure Their Affections
With Something That Cannot Cross
The Bridge From Earth To Heaven
Because
It Is Putrid!?!

In Fact ...

In The Thing That Truly Matter
Earthly Gold To Heaven
Is 
As Pharisee Leaven!
It's Worthless!

The Master Said ... Plainly:

Set Your Affections On Things Above

For The Things Of The Earth

On The Earth

Will Melt With Fervent Heat!

And, So
Brethren, Beloved
I Here Ask You Quite Plain:

Is Your Desire For Earthly Prosperity
So All-Fired Consuming That 
You Would Wittingly Refuse Eternal Life
With Jesus Christ The Lord, The King 
For Something So Trivial
Something So Useless
Something So Inordinately Vain!?!

We Have Been Given A Caution!
We Have Received Direction
To That Which Will Bring Soul-Relief!
We Have Been Given Access
To The Only One Who Is Truth
And
Who Promises Treasure Without Measure
Absent Thought
Sight Hope Hearing Or Belief!
Will You Accept The Truth Told!?!

Man Is Not Immortal
And
Man Can Do Nothing To Help Himself!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Can Help Him!

Man Cannot Do Anything To Uplift Himself!
Only Jesus Christ Can Do It!

Man Cannot Provide In Or Of Himself
Prosperity
That Will Survive Earth's Coming Burning Stage
And
I Plead, I Beseech
I Beg You ... Minus The Mad-Person Screech
Please Take The Lord Jesus Christ At His Personal Word
That For You He Personally Cares
And
That For You ... Believing
He Has Gone In His Father's Home
A Place To Personally Prepare!

Jesus Christ Put Down Blood 
To Secure The Promise
So At The Very Least
Ask Him ... In Faith
- Nothing Wavering -
To Prove Himself To You ... Personally
Because
He Has Given You Leave To Do So
And
Is Willing Your Case Set Forth To Hear!

After All, He Says To All
To Whosoever Will:

Come, Let Us Reason Together!

Call On Me And I Will Show Great Things!

Follow Me And Find Rest!

Trust Me And Receive Peace!

Stay With Me And Have An Eternal Home!

Stand Up For Me And Never Ever Be Alone!

Bless Me ... I For Your Personal Sin

Did Willing Atone!

Wait On Me:

I Am Returning To Earth

To Receive You Unto Myself

And

We Shall Proceed To The Forever Home

Where I Am Set Down With My Father

In His Throne!

Brethren,
Your Burden Is In There Somewhere!
Go And Inquire!

There Is Real Glory
For You, For Me!
There Is Great Glory
Impossible To Comprehend
In A Human Body
So, Take The Word Of Jesus
Giving Yourself The Unspeakable Gift
Life Everlasting In The Mansions Of The Blessed
Where Everything Everywhere
Is
Eternal Bliss!
Earthy God
Earthly Gold
Can Never, Ever, Give You This!

Please Take The Step Toward The Lord Jesus

For Love

And

With The Certain Hope

That Shall Assuredly Become Sight! 

New Page "The Choir" Added

Greetings, Dear Ones!

Please join me in praying for the Lord's blessing, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the covering and protection of the Holy Angels for our children and their teachers, instructors, coaches, professors, administrators and security personnel who are returning for the first full week of school since the end of the Summer vacation! May Almighty God have mercy upon each and every one of them.

I have added a new poem page entitled The Choir.

This poem has an interesting story behind it:

 In my home church when I was a young lady, we had several accomplished singers. However, there was a particular Sister in the congregation who had two daughters who both had beautiful voices and, to hear her carry on, you would believe that she was instrumental in them having received their voices. And, of course, the goodly Sister never failed to let you - who "though" you could sing - know that you were no match in the singing department against her gifted daughters. 

Now, on any given Sabbath, you  could expect to hear one or both of the sisters singing, and on this particular Sabbath, every time an item of special music was announced, one of her daughters go up to "perform." Well, they were on a roll at that particular Sabbath evening's program, and the goodly Sister was in kiddie goat heaven!

I guess it was about the third announced item of special music when both daughters got up to go to the rostrum that their dear Mother outdid herself!

She jumped up and, proud as a peacock in all its glory, gleefully shouted: "My STARS!"

Without missing a beat, several of the other singers who has been stung by her insults on their talents responded: "Mon-STARS!"

Sufficed to stay, that was the end of that type of behavior.

Well, go have yourself a read, and have a blessed day at work, school, or at home, whatever your chosen activity.
