VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Bold And Daring Confidence!?!

KJV Psalms 19:7, 11
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Oh, How We As Faithful Christians Love To Talk About 
Encourage Yourself 
... But ... 
We Seem To Have A Great Reluctance To Do 
A Deep Dive Into Examine Yourself! 

Come On! 
'Fess Up! 
Guilty Or Not Guilty!?! 

Alright, Alright! 
I Am Guilty As Charged! 

Beloved, 

Think On This Thing: 
Do You Have A Bold And Daring Confidence 
In The Goodness And Grace Of Our Lord And God 
But 
Are Playing Fast And Real Loose With Your Required Obedience 
To His Immutable Aka Unchanging As In Fixed For All Eternity Laws!?! 

Been There, Done That! 
I've Got The Scars And The Tee-Shirtsss As Memorial Proof! 

Dear Ones, 

In This Light, Should We Not Think Of 
The Biblical Characters Who, Brazenly Contemptuous Of The Love Of God
Threw Away The Eternal Life Of Peace 
To Hold A Sensual Piece Of 
Fading, Dying, Temporal Aka Earthly Life!?! 

Remember Achan, Prophet Balaam
King Saul
Nabal
King Ahab And Queen Jezebel
King Herod
And
Ananias And Sapphira! 

And 

Lest We Forget To Remember
Even Those Whose Sin Was Covered Because Of Their Heartfelt Repentance
The Consequence Of Their Confessed Sin Remained In Place 
And
Was Executed 
And 
Had Far-Reaching Impacts On Themselves
Their Families 
And 
Their Nations! 

King David, King Solomon
And 
King Manasseh 
Readily Come To Mind! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Live As A Wizard Of ID 
Aka Wizard Of Intentionality And Deliberation 
To Commit Known Sin Willfully 
In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Promise To Pay 
Aka Check Cashing And Check Kiting 
Are In The Domain Of King Fraud 
And 
Are Not Part Of The Law Of The Lord! 

Trust Dead And Bad-Pay Killed Him 
So Be Prepared With Cash 
Aka Skin To Bray Aka To Pay 
When Indulging In Deliberate Sinning 
Because 
You Shall Surely Not Be Winning! 

Brethren, 

Please Slow Yuh Roll
Freely Choose By Faith To Ignore The Wicked Bold 
And
With Wise Ways
Enduringly Follow The Lord Jesus Obediently 
To Receive Your Inheritance 
In The Kingdom Where The Streets Are Pure Gold! 

The King's Law Is Love! 

Peace!

Humility Is A Sword And A Shield!



Humility ... Like Faith
Is 
A Shield Of Protection 
And
A Sword Of Defence For The People Of God! 

Beloved, 

If  The Lord Jesus Christ
The Only Begotten Son Of The True And Living God
Humbled Himself Before The Very Ones That He Created 
So That By His Actions 
We All Could Be Blessed And Saved
What In The Name Of All That Is  Holy 
Is Wrong With Us Mere Mortals That 
We Cannot Humble Ourselves And Pray
And Turn From Our Wicked Ways 
So That The Lord Will Hear Our Prayers 
And Forgive Our Sin And Heal Us!?! 

When We Seek The Lord
It Is Guaranteed That We Will Find Him 
If 
We Seek Him With Whole And Humble Hearts! 

What Will We Gain If We Go Before The Lord Of Life 
With A Chip On Our Shoulder 
Or With The Attitude Like High Priest Eli 
Saying, In Essence, That 
The Lord Will Do What He Will Do!?! 

Humble-Pride Is Not A Thing! 

When You Know That You Are In Error
Choose To Bow Your Head  In Humility
Admit Your Guilt
Repent
And
 With Contrite Heart
Make Your Request For Forgiveness 
And 
Receive The Attendant Cleansing! 

Learn From Others  ...

Satan Wouldn't Bow In Humility: 
He Is Guaranteed To Burn With His Foolish Pride Intact! 

With Wisdom 
And 
In True Humility
Let Us Renounce Sin! 

Do Not Be Lifted Up In Pride:
Lift Up The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Stop Stifling Your Blessings! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Help Us To Stop Robbing Ourselves ...!

 

 




How Often Have We Said In Our Own Hearts 
And
Into The Ears Of Others That 
The Lord Doesn't Answer Our Prayers!?! 

Beloved, 

Now Is The Perfect Time 
To Take A Personal Inventory Of Cause And Effect 
And
Cease From Maligning The Name Of God 
For Our Cock-Ups! 

When We Cherish Malice 
And 
Self-Righteously 
Indulge Unforgiveness In Our Hearts Against Others
Our Prayers Become An Abomination To The Holy God 
And
We Personally Hinder Our Sought-After Blessings 
From Being Poured Out! 

When We Say The Lord's Prayer 
Asking The Lord To Forgive Us Our Debts 
As We Forgive Our Debtors
We Receive Exactly What We Ask For 
According To The Condition Of Our Hearts! 

The Heart Of Faith 
Emulates Christ In His Earthly Sojourn! 

Faith ... Which Is Tied To Love
Does Not Desire Its Own Way 
And
Neither Does It Bear Malice 
And
Cherish Unforgiveness By Indulgence! 

We Are All Guilty Before The Holy God 
But
We Can Be Made Clean! 

We Need The Abundant Good Blessings Of Holiness 
From The Hand Of The Living God 
- Whom We Seek To Diligently Serve -
So Please Let Us Cast Our Burdens Upon The Lord
- Our Burden-Bearer -
And
Plead To Be Blessed ... To Be Blessings! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Please Forgive  Us
And
Cleanse Us 
And
Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit Upon Us
Even As We Repent
And
Confess Our Known Sin! 

Father, 
You Have Told Us In The Great Law
"Thou Shalt Not Steal!" 
And 
We Wax Poet Telling All Who Will Listen
How Moral And Holy And Obedient We Are
When We Daringly Execute
Day And Nightime Robberies
Against Our Own Souls
When We Ask A Blessing Of You
And
At The Same We Hold Grudges
Bear Malice
And
Practice Unforgiveness In Our Hearts
And Thereby 
Personally Rob Our Own Selves
Of
Your Good And Perfect Gifts
Already Packaged And Wrapped
Labeled And Shipped
But
Rendered Undeliverable
Because Of Our Foul Spirit 
Boldly Blocking Our Windows And Doors 
To Your Beautiful And Bountiful Gifts Of Love, Light 
And
Blessings Unimaginable! 

Pity Us, Lord! 
Heal Our Hurts And Our Hearts!
Hold Our Heads And Our Hands
And
Help Us To Surrender All That
Separates Us Sinners From You
The Holy God Of Mercy, Goodness And Grace
And
Also Help Us To Seek After All The Beauty That 
Comes Of Living In The Light Of Love And Holiness! 

Please Pity Us: Hear Our Heartfelt Prayer! 
Please Help Us To Stand Firm In Saving Truth
And 
Walk In The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

Please Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We, Convicted Of Sin
And
Convinced Of Righteousness 
Humbly, Willing To Be Saved, Plead! 
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

TWILIGHT ZONE: Christian Complacency!?!







How Are You Standing, Walking, Talking
And 
Behaving As A Christian!?! 

Have You Forsaken The Committing Of Sin 
And
Are Feeling Quite Self-Satisfied 

Or

Are You In That Twilight Zone 
Where You Are Guilty Of Not Doing 
What Is Good And Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Every One Of Us Who Names The Name Of Jesus Christ 
Must Guard Against Complacency
And 
Feeling All Proud Of Ourselves 
Because 
We Are Not Active Participants Being Lawless 
And 
Transgressing The Laws Of The Holy God! 
Wake Up! 

We Are In More Danger From Committing The Sins Of Omission
- Of Not Doing Right - 
And 
That Is Exactly Where The Adversary Of God
The Adversary Of Our Own Souls 
Wants Us To Get Comfortable 
Both Day And Night! 

Doing Wrong ... And Not Doing Right 
Makes Us All Ready For The Burn-Barrel 
Which Makes Satan Very Happy 
And 
Christ Jesus Very Sad! 

Knowing Right 
And 
Deliberately Doing Wrong 
Is 
The Sin Of Presumption! 

Doing Neither Right Nor Wrong 
Is 
The Sin Of Neglecting The Great Salvation 
For Which There Is No Possible Excuse! 

What Must Be Done Should Be Done! 
Doing Otherwise 
Marks Us As Being Among Those Fools Who Say That 
There Is No Living, Holy, God! 

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Sure And Secure Salvation
And
Choose To Be
And
Be Gloriously Blessed!

Satan Does Not Feed: He Steals!
Do Not Permit Him
- Or His Wage Slaves -
To Rob You Of The Good And Heavenly Food 
Provided Free And Abundantly
To Whosoever Will
And
The Blessings Personally Purchased For You
At Infinite Cost
By Our Own Creator, Savior, Lord, God 
And
Soon Returning King! 
Don't Run With The Lost Cause Brigade!

DISOBEDIENCE: Are You A Strange Child!?!










Are You A Strange Child Who Is A Traitor To The Lord Of Life
Your Creator, Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend!?! 

Have You Forgotten For A Moment Whose Child You Are!?! 

Are You Forgetting That Jesus Christ, The Lamb Of God
Justifies You ... Takes Away Your Guilt Before The Father 
And
Jesus Christ ... Our High Priest 
Sanctifies Us ...  Sets Us Apart For Holy Use  
- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
From The Day We Confess Our Sin 
And 
Repent Aka Turn Away From Our Sin
Until The Day That We Die!?! 

Are You Forgetting That You Are The Light Of The World
And 
The Salt Of The Earth!?! 

Is Your Light Shining Brightly!?! 

What Sermon Is Your Life Preaching 
To Those Who See You Daily!?! 

Are You A Tasty Salt-Lick ... A Blessing
Or Are You Totally Tasteless 
And 
Fit Only To Be Cast Before Swine 
And 
Trodden Under Men's Feet!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget That The Eternal God Knows 
And
Faithfully Records 
All That We Say And Do! 
Please Never Forget That We Sin Daily
By Thought, Word And Deed! 

Beloved, 

If You're Falling Short
Please Humble Yourself
And
Pray To Stop The Rot: 
Plead For Grace To Get Back On Track! 

If You're Doing Well
Don't Get Complacent: 
Continue To Pray For Available Grace 
And
Press On! 

Working Faith Can't Fail! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
Precious!

The I AM That Is ... For Us!


 




It Is The Latest Catch-Phrase: 
"It Is What It Is!" 
And 
Everybody Is Buying And Selling It! 
Whoo Hoo! 

There Is A Bounding, Binding, Truth That Was
That Now Is
And
That Shall Be Forevermore: 
"I AM That I AM!" 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Run To It
Stand By It 
And
Live For It 
For It Is The Dear Name Of 
The Great God Who Is Our Maker, Savior
Redeemer, Friend, God And King 
And
Judge
Protector, Provider, Hope And Help
The Lover Of Our Souls Who Loves Us With A Sacrificial 
And
Everlasting Love 
Who Hates Sin 
But 
Loves Us Sinners
Who Will Not Clear The Guilty 
But
Will Cleanse Us Of The Guilt Of Our Own Sin! 

This God ... Our God Almighty
Is 
Amazingly Awesome 
And
He Is Slow To Be Angry With Us Frail, Finite 
And 
Often Foolish Creatures

 ... And ... 

Glory Be To Jesus Christ Who Saves
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Abides
He Loves Us With The Everlasting Love That 
Will Chastise Sin
Correct Bad Habits
Comfort Sorrow And Pain
Carry The Helpless
And
Celebrate Our Victories Over Sin And Self! 

Beloved, 

Let's Embrace The Unchanging God ... The I AM
And 
Celebrate That ... In Him 
We Have Salvation From Sin Known Sordid! 

Be Free: 
Almighty God ... I AM That I AM ... Is For Us! 


Pursue Peace With Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace!

Almighty God Knows Every Man's Heart!

The Lord Knows ...

The End From The Beginning!
The Way Of The Righteous!
The Thoughts And Intents Of Every Man's Heart!

The Lord Said ...



Come, Let Us Reason Together!
Be Not Wise In Thine Own Eyes! 
 My Spirit Shall Not Always Strive With Man!
Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me! 
Seek Ye The Lord While He May Be Found! 
Remember The Sabbath Day To Keep It Holy!
Blessed Is The Man
Who Walks Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly! 
Come Unto Me And I Will Give You Rest! 
Take My Yolk Upon You And Learn Of Me!
Do Not Covet! 
Do Not Bear False Witness!
Serve The Lord With Fear And Rejoice With Trembling! 
Seek Good, And Not Evil, That You May Live! 



Believing His Word
I Said ...

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul!

Having Faith
I Said ...

Give Ear To My Words, Oh, Lord
And
Consider My Meditation!
Arise, Oh Lord, And Save Me!
Do Not Cast Me Away From Your Presence!
Be My Shepherd
And
Give Unto Me Your Peace
Which Passes Human Understanding!
You Are My Rock And My Refuge!
I Look Unto You As The Author 
And 
Finisher Of My Faith
Because
I Know That It Is From You That All My Help Comes!

I Love You, Lord!
Thank You For Your Gift Of Love!
Thank You For The Lord Christ Jesus!
Thank You For The Call To Come Home!
I Worship You!
I Praise You!
I Bless Your Holy Name!

The Lord ...

Shall Judge All The People!
Shall Not Clear The Guilty!

The Lord Is ...

My Shepherd
My Light
My Salvation
And
The Strength Of My Life!

I Shall Not Be Greatly Moved!

The Lord God Almighty Is My King!



KJV Psalms 147
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power:
his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek:
he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Brethren,

A Word To The Wise Is Ever Sufficient! 
We Are Finite, Daily Dying, Creatures 
But 
The Lord God Almighty ... To Save
Is 
Infinite In Being, Wisdom, And Power:
We Need Him Desperately! 

Let Us, Therefore, Be Meek
Humbling Ourselves Before The Holy God 
Who Remembers That We Are Dust 
But 
Still Lowers Himself 
To Love, Bless, And Keep Us 
In His Holy Care! 

Let Us Be Bold Enough 
To Be Wise Enough 
To Humble Self Before His Majesty
- In Obedience - 
To Gain The Eternal Blessing ... Life With Christ!
Nothing Else Satisfies The Longing In The Heart Of Man!

HONEST MEN: Guilty ... As Charged!




If The Load Of Sin
Is Off Your Back
Why Are You Still Bending?!



I Have A Friend
Who Is My Companion!
I Have For A Champion
He Who Is My God!
I Have The Savior
Who Is My Redeemer
AND
The Giver Of My Life
Is My Rock
Against My Accuser
The Foul-Minded Fraud!

IF
We, As Honest Men
Would Daily Think Upon The Divine Sacrifice
We Would Not Walk Around Behaving
Like Angry Bloodsucking Hog Lice!

We Would Say 
- Without Fear Of Contradiction -
With All Power And Might
That We Are Legitimate Children
Of The Great King
BUT
Sorry To Say
It Is Oft Quite Plain
That We Do Not Know
The One
Of Whom We Are Speaking!

I, Myself
IF 
I Am Honest 
This Day Must Utter:

Guilty ... As Charged!

For I, Too
Have Often Forgotten My New Pedigree
AND
Have Gladly Permitted
The Old Man
To Triumphantly Lead 
AND
Squeeze Me
Making Feel Yesterday's Shed Load!

I Agree With You
For I Am Guilty Of That, Too
But What Do You Offer Up
For A Solution?!

In All Honesty
I Say That We Could All Do
With A Daily Dose Of
I Am Thine, Oh, Lord! 
And A Daily Dose
Of Confess And Repent
BUT
All Done Without It Being A Hair Shirt
AND
Walking About Looking Grieved
AND
Being Morose!

Really?!
Why Do You Say That!

If You Are Happy
For Free Salvation
Praise The Lord!

Hallelujah!

If You Have Accepted
The Gift
Walk About In The Wrapping!

Thank You, Jesus!

The Living Word Says ...!
The Living Word Says
That All Men Sin
AND
All Men Sin
By Thought
By Word
By Deed
AND
Paul The Apostle
Said That He
- A Totally Surrendered
Soldier For Christ -
Died Daily
For He Wanted Nothing Between His Soul
AND
His Savior!
He Lived For His Lord
AND
Everything Else
Was ... Dung!

I Hear That!

Can You Imagine
A Man Like That
Who Had Met The Savior
AND
Had Committed His Life
Saying:

The Thing I Should Do I Don't
And The Thing I Shouldn't Do I Do?!

And Exclaiming:

Oh, Wretched Man That I Am!

Believe You Me
I Can Totally Relate!

I Am Right There With You!
You Know
There Was Much
- And Still Is -
In The Idea Of
The Daily Sacrifice
BUT
Without All The Blood
AND
The Burnings!

Type Met Antitype
In The Ultimate Sacrifice 
On The Cruel Cross
Which Sacrifice
Pays
For Our Confession And Repentance
Giving Us The Free Offer Of Salvation!

I Don't Understand ...!

Okay!
Would You Crucify Christ Afresh?!

Whaaat?!
What For?!
No!
Who Would Do Such A Thing?!

You!
Me?!

Me!
You?!Yes ... Us!

But, How?!

You Are Forgetting Already!
By Thought!
By Word!
By Deed!

Let's Come From A Different Direction:

What Is Sin?

Sin Is The Transgression Of God's Law!

What Did Jesus Come To Do?!

To Die For Our Sin - Once For All!
To Reconcile Us To The Father!

What Put Christ On The Cross?

God's Love For Sinners!

Who Is A Sinner?

I I Am Am!!

Man, We Really Need To Change!

Yes, We Do!
We Really, Really, Need To Up Our Game!

We Need To Look Up!

IF
Salvation Is Free!
Pardon For Sin Is Free!
Faith Is Free!
Grace Is Free!
Mercy Is Free!
And
Heaven Is Free!
And
You Have Accepted The Gift
DROP THE EXCESS BAGGAGE
And
Walk In The Confidence Of Christ
For
You Are Free Indeed!

Guilt Kills More People Than War!



Guilt
Is
The Dirty Underwear Of Sin
Worn As An Overcoat!
Jesus Christ's
Blood-Bought Forgiveness
IS
To Us
The Must-Work
Can't-Fail
Soul-Renewal
'Detergent'
"Be Thou Clean!"
COST: FREE
AVAILABLE: NOW!





Forgiveness Is Available
To All
Who Will Receive
The Pardon For Transgression
From
The Savior Of Us All
Who For Our Personal Forgiveness
Did Suffer And Bleed!

Death Without Jesus
Is Like A Steak
That's Overly Well ... Done!
Nothing Left To Do With It
But Cast The Steak Away
For It Can't Be Saved
Not Even With
Heart Felt Prayer!
You Don't Want Any 
So Boldly Say Give Me ...  None! 

Satan
Has A Great Part In It
When Men Disbelieve
AND
Say
That God's Forgiveness
Is Not Enough
AND
With Gas
Fire Knife
Pill Sword
Poison
The Flying Leap
AND
More
AND
Adopts The Attitude That
"Life! You And Me Done!"
AND
Checks Out
The Can't-Turn-Back Door!

God's Forgiveness
Is Real
AND
Available
To Me
AND
To You
So, Please
Ignore The Murderer Damned
That Lying Devil
Of The God-Is-A-Man Scam
AND
Take What The Living God
Paid For
To Freely Give To Me And To You
Which Is
The Embracing Fellowship
Of Love And Forgiveness
Correction
Protection
Direction
AND
Provision
AND
The Blessing
Of The Comfort Of The Holy Hand
AND
Hope Of Life Eternal
In The Eternal God's Glory Land!


"Go, And Sin No More!"

Is What The Savior Said
To The Woman Caught In Adultery
Who Then Took The Command To Heart
AND
- Glad For The Forgiveness -
Uplifted By The Restoration
Went Rejoicing
Forgiven
Blessed
On Her Way!

We, Too
Can Get Over The Death Sentence
IF
We Will Believe
So
Let's Look With Hope To The Master
AND SAY

"Lord, Your Gift Of Forgiveness
I Gladly Receive!"


Guilt Kills!
BUT
Confession Unto Repentance
Saves!
So, Brethren, Please
From The Lonely-Death Walk Away
By Accepting The Word Of The One
Who Does Exactly What He Says
AND
 Also Hears
The Sighing, Hurting Sinner's
"I Need You, Jesus!"
 Prayer!


Heaven Is Our Home
Not That Given-Over-To-Idols' Grove
Where Damned Devils Creep!

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

Are You Hurting?
Call The Loving Shepherd
Of The Gentle Sheep!
He Will Keep You In Safety!
He Will Give You Comfort
So That You May Find
True Rest In Peaceful Sleep!
