VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Whatever You Want, Satan Will Promise!

Satan And Sin Are One! 

Faith And Trust Are One

And

Obedience And Endurance Are One! 

Sin Leads To Sorrow Aka Grief Which 

Is 

The Strong Arm Of Discipline! 

With This In Mind, Beloved

Let Us Respond To The Statement: 

"Whatever You Want

Satan Will Promise!" 

First, Satan Can't Promise You Anything 

If 

You're Not Playing Pat-A-Cake Or Footsy With Him! 

Secondly, By God's Grace

Christians Should Be Too Wise To Be Foolish 

Where Satan Is Concerned 

When The Lord, In Mercy

Taught Us About The Wiles Of That Devil! 

Thirdly, Growing In Grace 

Has Its Own Sorrow, Its Own Griefs

So Why Would Committed Christians Seek Out 

What Can't Raise Us Up To Glory!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Elders Used To Tell Us:

"See With Your Eyes But Don't Touch!" 

Regarding What Could Cause Us Harm! 

The Good Book Tells Us That 

Only With Our Eyes Shall We Behold 

The Destruction Of The Wicked, Sinful, Unrepentant Ones! 

Why, Then, Would You Want Something From Someone 

Who Is Going Somewhere Decidedly Unpleasant!?! 

Let Us Stay On The Path Of Purity 

Where The Refiner's Fire 

Is 

Getting Rid Of The Rust Of Ruin 

And 

The Dust Of Desolation! 

Satan Can't Give You What He Doesn't Have 

So Don't Cast Your Pearls Before Swine! 

The Promises Of The Living God Are Sure 

Aka "Yea!" And "Amen!" 

Count The Costs 

And 

Let Godly Sorrow Be Your Grace Today! 

Peace! 

Praise Almighty God Anyhow, Anywhere ... Just Because!

Are You Willing, By The Living God's Great Grace

To Tell John Q. Public And Ms. Anony Mous 

Of All That The Lord Has Done

Is Doing And Will Do For You 

Or

Are You Sooo Caught Up In 

"Woe Is Me!" 

And 

"Why Me, Lord!" 

That You Fail To Recognize That Almighty God Is Good

That He Loves You Personally

And 

Has Repeatedly Saved You From Yourself 

And

From Besetting Sin

And 

Has Made Your Heart Radiantly Glad 

When You, With Limited Vision

Had No Idea What You Would Or Could Do 

If

Tomorrow Brought Another Misery

Trial Of Faith

Health Scare

Financial Setback

Emotional Distress

Or Unexpected Grief Or Sorrow!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Guilty Of Begging Almighty God For Good Gifts 

And

Having Received Them ... And More Besides

Forgetting Or Even Unwisely Neglecting 

To Give Our God Thanks And Bold Praise! 

We Are Guilty Of Making Agreements With The Lord 

And

Brazenly Breaking Them 

After The Lord Has Amazingly Delivered 

The Delights Of Life To Us! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

Let Us From This Moment On 

Daringly Decide To Praise The Lord Anyhow

Anywhere 

And

Just Because!

Let Us Decide To Thank God 

For Helping Us To Admit, Again, That 

Having Another Reason

Another Day To Need Him

And 

To Be Glad To Praise Him For Life

Is 

Our Blessing ... Our Blessed Gift ... Today! 

The "Price" For Living 

Is 

Prayer And Praise: 

Just Do It! 

The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God

Does Not Lie!

Peace! 

The Lord Has Not Promised ...!

The Lord God Almighty
Has Not Promised Unto Any Man
The Day Called Tomorrow:
Do Not On Satan's Bold Lies Stand!

When The Creator God
Plainly Says:

You Should Buy The Free Clue
And
Recognize That Any Living On A Distant Tomorrow
Is 
One Who Shall Surely Not Have
Even The Ability About It To Sorrow!

 The Lord Also Says:

The Day Given
Is
The Day Blessed
And
Anything Else Anticipated 
Is 
Asking One To Become 
Unnecessarily Stressed!

Today Is A Present
A Gift To Be Unsealed
So Do Yourself A Favor
And
Let It In All Its Heaven-Clad Glory
Be Gratefully, Joyfully, Accepted
As It Is Plainly, Beautifully, Revealed!

Take What The Lord Is Giving
And
Be Blessed To Be A Blessing
For That Is Your Success
Not Hunting And Pecking
And
Indulging In Known Sin
Which Must Then Be Confessed!

Do Not Live Carelessly!
Confess Your Known Sin
And
Repent Each And Every Day!
Do A Daily Debrief!
See For What There Is Or Should Be Grief
And
If In The Night
Or At The Morning's Shining Light
Your Life Is Required Of You
You Shall Go To Your Long Home
Assured Of The Eternal Day
In The Land Where
There Is No More Death
No Crying 
And
No More Sorrow!

Wisdom ...

Be Not As The Unwise
Who Plan For What Is Not Sure
Who Think That Death Is For Everyone Else
When Death Is Knocking At Their Own Door!

If Your Tomorrow
Does Not Include A Life With Christ
Be Ye Warned:
Your Life Is Not One That Can Be Called Blessed
For You Are Living On The Wing
Not The Prayer
And
Your Outcome Is Not One That
The Righteous People Of The Eternal God
Should Embrace Or Cheer!

The Lord Christ Has Given Unto Us 
Promises Preserved In His Innocent Blood
Which He Freely Gave For Our Soul's Salvation!
He Has Promised Us An Eternal Home
And
His Eternal Life
And
He Has Promised Us That He Will Never Again
Destroy The Earth With A Flood!

The World Is Reserved By The Lord
For Destruction With Unquenchable Fire
By His Hand ... Alone
And
All Who Choose Not To Live By His Merits
Shall Find Themselves 
- Along With Satan And His Fallen Angels -
Destroyed By It!

A Word Of Cheer 
For All Who Choose To Believe ...

Satan Is The Father Of Lies
And
His Stated Purpose Is To Deceive
But
The Lord God Of All Grace
Is
Faithful, Just, Loving, Kind And Ever True
And
He Is Calling, Calling, Calling
Pleading With You, Beloved
To Love Him
To Follow Him Faithfully
And
To Him ... Alone
To Be Obedient, Loving And Prayerfully True!

This Is His Sure Word Unto You:
