HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!

 

How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received

Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 

And 

Have Totally Forgotten

Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 

The Grace, Mercy, Love

And 

Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 

At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 

"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 

He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 

And 

Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless

And 

Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 

Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 

And 

Turned Back To The Master To Give Him

To Give Almighty God

Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah

After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed

Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 

Inquiring About His Blessings That 

It Was The True And Living Holy God 

Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation

He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation

The Sentence Came From God

- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 

That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 

Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 

And 

The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 

So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 

And 

In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 

Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Let The Lord Lead You With His Love!

Beloved, 

How Well Are You Able To Handle Disappointment 

Or, More Particularly

Are You Able To Handle Disappointment!?! 

We Live In A Fast-Paced World 

Which Accepts Neither Denial, Disappointment

Disapproval, Nor Deprivation 

And Yet

As Committed To Christ Christians

We Must Be Able To Accept All These With Grace 

Because 

Our Heavenly Father Always Knows Best 

And

Ever Does Right For And By Us! 

Let's Let Him Lead Us Today 

Because 

It Is Done With Abiding Love Which Does Not Suffer Loss! 

Peace!

Winding Up As Two Nuts Short Of A Pack!?!

Handling Hardships With Almighty God's Gift Of Grace 

Makes One Hardy To Endure The Trials Of This Life! 

"Ohhh, Sure!" 

Says The One Who Desires To Live The Life Of Riley 

On Easy Street! 

Beloved, 

We All Know That There Is No Human 

Who Would Not Prefer Life On Easy Street! 

The Problem Is That The Introduction Of Sin 

Caused Our Maker, God, And King To Curse Humanity 

With Labor, Work, To Be Able To Eat His Daily Bread! 

Therefore, Anyone 

- From The Womb To The Tomb - 

Who Chooses To Work At Not-Working And Playing To Play

And In Essence

Choosing The Life Of The Hedonist

Constantly Seeking Pleasures Forevermore On This Earth

In This Vale Of Tears

Is 

Standing Up In His Self-Chosen Lot

Directly Against The Will Of Almighty God! 

How Do You Think That Is Going To End!?! 

How Often Have You Seen 

The Disasters Of Living The High Life 

When Its Practitioners Effectively And Efficiently 

Crash And Burn

Flame Out

Or Wind Up As Two Nuts Short Of A Pack!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Work ... As Ordained By The Holy God

Is 

For Our Blessing: 

Choosing To Live On The Party Boat Is Not! 

Choosing To Honor The Lord Is A Blessing: 

Choosing To Honor Ourselves Is Not! 

Idle Hands Are The Devil's Workshop! 

Be Wise And Work Now 

For Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work! 

Live With Love For The Lord 

And

Not For The Pride Of Life! 

Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout' Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Tail! 

Take Heed! 

Jesus Christ Is Lord! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + The For-Real Bargain!

Freedom In Christ! 

Freedom Through Christ! 

Free Is Our Friend 

If 

Jesus Christ Is In It! 

The Merchants Of The Earth 

Get Us To Buy Their Merchandise With 

"Buy One, Get One!" 

Or "Buy Two Get One!" Sales Pitches 

Knowing Full Well That 

We Are Going To Spend More 

And

On Other Things As Well! 

They Make A Killing 

And 

We Get A Bargain, We Believe! 

Listen Up, Dear Ones! 

There's A For-Real Bargain Up For Grabs 

For All Who Are Willing To See The Light 

And 

Save Themselves From Sin And Sorrow 

And

No Personal Investment Of Dollar Bills 

Or Fuel 

Or Frazzled Nerves 

Or Angry Outbursts Are Required! 

There Is No Limited Stock! 

There Is No Early Bird Special! 

There Is No Rain-Check 

And

There Is No Disappointment! 

Imagine That ...

Jesus Christ's Free-To-All Salvation

With Sufficient Grace

Free Mercy

Free Education In The School Of Jesus

Free Guardian Security Angel

Free Peace And Rest Now

Free White Linen Robe Of Righteousness

Free Gold Crown

Free Gold Harp

New Life

Immortality

Incorruptibility

A Free City Of God Dwelling

A Country Estate

Inter-Stellar Transport

Eternal Life

Joys Forevermore

And 

More That Eye Has Not Seen Nor Ear Has Ever Heard! 

Unspeakable Gifts ... Treasures! 

How To Get It All, You Ask!?! 

Beloved, 

Just Say: 

"Yes, Lord! 

I Trust You! 

I Believe You! 

I'll Worship You And Obey!" 

This, Dear Ones

Is 

The True Blessing Of This Lifetime! 

Accept It And Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace! 

AVAILABLE: Free Enemies!

 

AVAILABLE

To Anyone 

Who Will Live Godly Lives

In Christ Jesus: 

FREE ENEMIES!

 

REQUIREMENTS

For Acquisition: 

Stand Up For Jesus Christ 

And

Stand Firmly Against All Things 

Which Would Crucify Our Dear Savior Afresh! 

Dear Ones, 

It Must Be Understood That 

As Long As We Do Not Fit In With That Worldly-Wise Lot 

Who Question The Word, Ways, And Works Of 

The Only Wise God 

And, Instead

Are Named Wise-Unto-Salvation

Detractors, Haters, Instigators, Tempters

Tormentors, And Spoilers 

Will Show Up Like Vultures 

And 

Wait For You To Drop In Your Tracks 

From Exhaustion 

To Await Death 

So That They May Pick Your Bones Clean! 

Beloved, 

By Almighty God's Grace

Disappoint The Evil-Doers! 

We Belong To The Most High God 

And 

We Are To Lose Ourselves In His Undying

Unchanging, Unfailing, Love 

Which Untiringly Works For Our Soul Salvation 

And 

Gives Sacrificially For Our Eternal Blessing! 

Let Us Be Glad That 

We Are Numbered Amongst Those 

Who Are Counted Worthy To Suffer For Our Lord! 

Please Take Note That 

We Will Be Suffering For The God Who Creates

The God Who Is Life

Whilst Those Who Work For The Enemy Of Souls 

Work For The Father Of Lies

Who Only Births Sin, Death, Shame, And Sorrow

And

Leaves His Adherents, His Followers, With No Hope 

For A New Life In The Eternal God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

Please Stand Up For Jesus Christ The King 

Knowing That You Do Not Stand Alone! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Satanic Manipulation

 

For The Record, We Know Of A Surety That 

Anyone Who Seeks To Force Our Will 

By Manipulation, Intimidation, And Domination 

Is 

Working For No Less A Personage Than Satan The Damned! 

Also, By Curiosity

By Seeking New, Novel, And Mindblowing

Or For Fear Of Someone Powerful, Rich, Or Volatile

We Place Ourselves Or Are Placed Under The Control Of 

Fallen Angels, Wicked Spirits, Demons! 

The Early Church Was Not Exempt From This 

And 

Neither Are We! 

We Are Cautioned To Test The Spirits 

To See Whether They Are Of God! 

The Holy Spirit 

Will Never Contradict The Preserved Word Of God 

And

Will Never Manipulate, Intimidate, Or Dominate Us: 

That's The Devil's Domain 

And

Comes From A Place Of Hatred 

Because 

Love Doesn't Operate Like That! 

Dear Ones, 

Those Persons Seeking To Control Us 

Are Also Being Controlled

And 

Will Speak Of Love, Caring

And 

Our Profit As Their One Motivation: 

They Lie Like Cheap Rugs! 

Jesus Christ Our King Loves Us 

And

Humbly, Openly, Came Himself To Save Us: 

It Cost Him Not Us! 

Satan Always Uses A Middle Man 

Until He Doesn't! 

Directness By Truth

Reasoning By Grace

And

Persuasion By Mercy 

All Wrapped Up In Heavenly Love 

Are The Ways Of Almighty God! 

Know The Truth 

And 

Walk In The Light That Gives Life 

To Escape The Polished Deceits Of The Devil! 

Be Safe And Saved ... In The Arms Of Jesus! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + On The Horns Of A Dilemma!

The Chant Is Often Heard: 

"No Justice: No Peace!" 

And 

People Are Suitably Impressed Or Terrified About What Is Next! 

There Is No Justice Without Truth! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth 

And 

He Is Also The Prince Of Peace Who Is Our Peace! 

Without Jesus

We Will Never Know Almighty God's Grace 

Aka Favor Aka Power 

Or Experience His Mercy 

Because 

We Would Be Subject To God's Strict Justice 

Which Will Be Ministered Then 

Without His Now Presently Available Free-To-All Mercy! 

This, Dear Ones

Is 

What One Would Call Being On The Horns Of A Dilemma! 

Sin-Loving Man Wants 

What Only Almighty God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord Can Give 

Without Jesus Christ Being Involved! 

That's A Big-Able Problem! 

Not To Put Too Fine An Edge On The Razor

We Always Want People's Things Without Asking 

Or Paying For The Privilege Of Ownership! 

Man-Peace Is No Peace 

And 

Man's Idea Of Justice 

Is 

Most Often Perverted To Benefit The Highest Bidder! 

This Is Not So With The Eternal God

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Beloved, 

Let Us This Day Walk Humbly Before Our God

Honoring And Pleasing Him In His Holiness

So That In Our Hour Of Trial 

It Is Jesus Christ, Himself

Who Will Plead His Shed Blood For Us

At His Judgment Bar! 

Perfect Peace Is Precious 

And 

Part Of The Salvation Plan! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Win While You Wait On The Lord!

Be Encouraged! 

Since We Choose, Through Grace

By Faith That Works By Love And Purifies The Soul

To Believe That Our Lord Jesus Is The Strength Of Our Lives 

And

Add To It That We Can Do All Things Through Him

We Must Also Keep In The Forefront Of Our Thoughts That 

All The Things Which We Are Choosing To Do 

Must Meet The Right-Doing Test 

And

The Lord's Will, Way, And Timing Test! 

Beloved, 

We, As The Lord's People 

Walking Against The Grain Of The Fabric Of This Dying Word

Do Not Like Technicolor Four-Letter Words 

Aka Foul Language! 

Surprise! 

Most, If Not All Of Us

Consider "Wait!" To Be One Of Those Curse Words

An Inconvenience

A Boil On The Butt Of Our Promised Pleasure! 

Wait Up, Dear One! 

We Are Not Waiting On Humans! 

We Are Waiting Upon 

The Sovereign Lord Of All Creation

The King Of Love

The Loving Shepherd Of Us Who Are 

His Obedient, Trusting, Faithful Sheep! 

With That Being Said

We Should Make It A Point To Consider 

Waiting Upon Our Maker, God, And King 

To Be A Precious Jewel

A Priceless Pearl! 

Let Us Ever Remember That 

Our Awesome God Gives Power To The Faint

And 

To Us Who Lack Might

He Increases Strength! 

This Is A Win While You Wait On The Lord Prize Fight! 

Please Let  Almighty God Be Your All 

And

No Created Being Can Ever Make You Fail Or Fall! 

Walk With

Wait Upon

And 

Wisely Worship Our Lord Christ 

To Be Wonderfully Welcomed Into The Heavenly Home! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer Of Faith

 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord

For Your Grace That Is Sufficient

Your Mercy Ever Free

And That

The Fact Remains That

The Prayer Of Faith Will Always Reach Thee! 

Please Help Us To Ever Remember That 

The Devil Is The Liar

And

His Words Are Truth Reversed

And That 

His Mission Is To Have Us Continue To Live

Under The Wretched Conditions That 

Initiated The Curse!

Please Help Us To Be Wise

Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

Please Help Us To Ever Trust You 

And

Walk In The Light Of The Truth! 

Please Help Us To Uplift Your Holy Name 

And

Bless Ourselves By Worshiping You 

Through Faithful, Enduring, Obedience

Which Will See Us Ascending With You One Glad Day

To Enter Your Blessed Rest

In The Land Of No Night

The Land Of Eternal Youth!

Please Open Our Eyes

Unstop Our Ears

And

Help Us To Not Only Hear And Embrace The Truth

But To Act Decisively

On Your Living, Holy, Word Which Works! 

Father,

You Have Promised That 

Your Word Will Not Return Unto You Void, Empty

But Will Accomplish The Mission Of 

Getting Us Who Are Willing

Back Into Your House Of Love 

Which Has Room For All Who Will Look Up

To Jesus Christ, The King 

To Be Saved And To Eternally Live! 

Please Accept Our Heartfelt Confession And Repentance

And

Forgive And Cleanse Us As You Promised

And

Welcome Us Into The Fold Of Safely

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That

We Humbly Pray And In Dire Need Plead!

AMEN!

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!

No One On This Planet Walks Alone!

How Often Have We Heard Friends, Family, Acquaintances

And 

Even Not-Yet-Friends 

Boldly Even Arrogantly And Aggressively Say: 

"I Don't Need Anybody! 

I Can Make It On My Own!?!" 

Were You Impressed By Or Were You Saddened For 

The Proud Sayer And Lonely Bird Caught In A Storm Of Despair 

But 

Unable Or Unwilling To Humble Themselves Before The Lord 

And 

Say With Longing Heart: 

"Oh Lord, Please Help Me Now! 

I'm Not Just Alone But I Am So Very  Lonely

And Deathly Afraid

And So Very Weak! 

Please Pity Me In My Distress And Have Mercy! 

Lord, 

You Said To Come Boldly

With All My Burdens

My Sorrows And My Joys

And Share Them With You 

Because Without You

Joys Turn Into Sorrows

But With You, Burdens Are Lifted

And Earthly Sorrows Turn Into Heavenly Joys! 

Father, 

Please Open My Eyes To See Your Light That 

Leads To Abundantly Living And Eternal Life! 

Please Grant Me A Heart Of Flesh 

So That I Will Walk Obediently 

And In Perfect Peace With You! 

Please Help Me To Be The Friend That 

I Would Want To Have For A Friend

And Help Me To Love My Neighbor As I Love Myself 

According To Your Living Word!" 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

No One On This Planet Walks Alone! 

You, Me, We, Either Walk In Accord 

And 

Under The Headship Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Or

Satan By The Fallen Angels Walks Companionably With You! 

Let's Examine Ourselves Right Now! 

Peace!

Recall To Mind!

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Your Faith Regret

The Lord  Christ Will Never A Faithful Child Forget! 

He Doesn't Forget The Good! 

He Doesn't Forget The Bad! 

Do Good And Good Will Attend You

And 

Over Your Trials Be Glad!

All Things Work For Our Good! 

Jesus Christ Shed Innocent Blood

When On Calvary's Cross He Unwaveringly Stood

So That Satan By Your Worked Faith

Could Be Valiantly Withstood! 

Okay, Class! 

Let's Recap: 

Jesus Saves! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Sufficient! 

Don't Fret About Evil-Doers! 

Faith Cannot Fail! 

Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise! 

Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship! 

Blessings Await The Faithful! 

Prayer Raises Us Up To God! 

Salvation Came Down! 

Justification Is Instantaneous! 

Sanctification Lasts A Lifetime! 

Sin Is A Reproach To All People! 

Blessed Are The Pure In Heart!

From The Workers Of Iniquity Choose To Depart! 

Wait, Work, Watch: 

Don't Wonder After The Beast!

We Have An Invitation

To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Welcome Home Feast! 

Perfect Peace Is The Gift Of God! 

God Is Our Refuge And Strength! 

The Heavens Declare God's Glory! 

The Good Book Tells The Good News Gospel Story!

Doubters Deny!

Evil Men And Seducers  Will Not To Glory Fly! 

Don't Tempt God! 

There Is No License For Sin! 

Guard Your Heart! 

No Man Can Tame The Tongue! 

There Is No Reason For, Nor Profit In, Pride! 

Grave-Diggers Serve  Grave-Diggers! 

Satan Can't Force You To Sin! 

The Lord Won't Force You To Not Sin! 

Lust Is A Lie Wrapped In A Sinful Desire That Deals Death! 

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Aka The Love Of God 

Works Wonders For The Wise! 

Be Wise! 

Be Humble! 

Be Bold! 

Be Blessed And Be A Blessing! 

Believe The Truth And Love In Deed And In Truth! 

And

Be Confident In Christ! 

In This Is Peace!

Banking At I-Know Aka The Savings-No Loan Operation!

The Compass Has Four Points! 

We Are In The Middle! 

Decisions Must Be Made! 

We Are Headed Home! 

Ahead Is The Sea Of Sorrow And The Sea To Salvation! 

To The Left Is The Desert Of Damnation! 

To The Right Is Mount Misery! 

Behind Us Are The Dealers Of Certain Death

The Butchers Of The Land 

From Whence We Just Gloriously Escaped 

After Our God ... The True And Living God

Authorized And Achieved Our Rich Deliverance! 

But Now, We "See" No Way Out 

Until The Voice Of Faith Is Heard Joyfully Saying: 

"The Lord Be Praised! 

The Lord Is In Our Midst! 

He Is Above Us, Over Us, And Around Us! 

We Will Get Through!" 

Beloved, 

The Devil Is The Liar! 

We Must Go Forward! 

We Go Through To Come Through! 

We Must Look Up To Live! 

We Cannot Live And Eternally Prosper 

On I-Feel

I-Hear

And 

I-See! 

We Must Bank At I-Know

The Savings-No Loans Operation 

Led By He-Cares 

Who Does Not Abide Pipe Dreams Or Pie In The Sky By And By! 

Another Cry Goes Up: 

"Praying Is Power!

Song Is A Strong Weapon Against Despair!" 

Yet Another Voice Is Heard Saying: 

"His Grace Is Always Greater Than Our Sin!" 

Dear One, 

Please Hear Yourself Saying: 

"My Faithful, Obedient, Endurance Is The Cure-For-All!" 

Listen To Jesus The Christ As He Gently Says: 

"Gather Around, Children! 

Draw Nearer! 

Shelter, Be Safe, Under My Wings!" 

Choose To Believe

And 

Be Blessed! 

Peace!
