Deserving Is A Two-Footed Beast!

Life Is Interesting Always! 

Sometimes We Get What We Want

Sometimes What We Need 

Sometimes What We Deserve

And 

Sometimes What We Never Expected

Or Thought To Ever Receive! 

Just The Facts ...

Needs Are Never Wants! 

Wants Are Sometimes Needs! 

Deserving 

Is 

A Two-Footed Beast 

Which Shows Up As Just Deserts ... Or Reward

And

Unthought Of 

Is 

Just Because Our Lord God 

Is

Good Always

And

Shows That He Loves Us

And

Desires That Our Faith Be Cemented

Our Trust Anchored 

And 

Our Love Bear Beautiful, Bountiful Blooms Of 

Blessed Increase! 

How Do You Stand!?! 

Where Should You Stand!?! 

Why Are You Standing!?! 

Do You Need To Sit!?! 

Is It Time For Your Bad Attitude To Quit 

And 

For You To Recognize That Fleshly Demise Is Your Domain 

And

Dare Yourself To Submit To The Lord

The Father, The King

The Judge 

And

In His Ways Walk So That 

Choice Blessings You May Rightfully Expect 

And 

Humbly Claim!?! 

Obedience Pays! 

Disobedience Costs! 

Love For Truth Is The Catalyst! 

Faith Makes The Call 

And

Enduring Trust In God, Dear One

Ensures The Heavenly Reward! 

Beloved, 

Let's Commit Our Way To The Only One, Jesus Christ

Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves 

And 

Is Able To Usher Us Into The Land Called Beulah Aka Beautiful! 

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

Peace Is Free! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Jesus Christ Is Sin Relief!

Time Is Short!
Time Is Coming To Its Known Close

So Don't Live Your Life To Lust
And 

Don't Spend Your Few Days Of Life Loving To Be Lost

And

Don't About Another's Life Specialize To Criticize:

Jesus Christ Is To Be Emphasized! 

Remember ... 

Jesus Died ... Accursed ... For Us Upon The Cruel Cross 

To Give Unto Us All 
The Golden Ticket To Glory! 

We All Have A Work To Do

A Witness To Declare

A Personal Walk To Complete

And 

A Clear Way On Which To Stay! 

Lift Up Your Head ...

We Must Be Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation 

For What Is The Point To Pointing Others To Christ 

And 

The Living Kingdom 

For Them To Warmly Hear 

"Welcome! Come In!" 

And 

You Be Coldly Told 

"Be Gone! Go Away!?!" 

Beloved, 

Don't Be Dirty In The Dark! 

Don't Kill Like A Crocodile

And

Don't Eat Like A Shark! 

Don't Prey Like A Panther

And

Don't Look For Food Like Buzzards And Hawks! 

Let's Choose To Live In The Perpetual Light That 
Is 
Jesus Christ The Lord

That Is The Same Morning, Evening, Noon And Night! 

Do Not The Holy Name Profane! 

Go For The Heavenly Reward
And
Don't Play Footsy With King Fraud! 

Christianity 

Is Not 

Our Coat Nor Our Cloak To Cover Our Ugly Bits! 

Christ's Christianity 

Is 

A Way Of Living

The Way To Everlasting Life

So Let's Live Like We Believe It

Like We Know That We Are Being Watched 

And 

Recorded 

By Humans, Heaven And Hell! 

Obediently Labor In The To-Life Long Game

And

Reject The Disobedient Short Sell To Damnation! 

Get Real ... 

Let's Stop Putting On The Shabby Show 

And 

Put On The Lasting Life Of Christ

Who ... Alone

Is 

Our Known And Perfect Peace! 

Hold On To The Blessed Hope

For Soon Comes The Welcome Home Feast! 

Jesus Christ Is Sin Relief! 
Let Us By Almighty God's Great Grace
From Willing Sinning Cease!

HAPPY SABBATH + I AM ... Am I ... A True And Faithful Servant Of Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

How Many Of Us Christians Called

Walking Around Talking About 
"I'm Blessed And Highly Favored
A Beloved Child Of Christ The King!" 
Are Willing To Say ... As The Apostle Jude
"I AM A Servant Of Christ!" 
And 
Mean It!?! 

Many Of Us Talk About Jesus Christ 
As The Suffering Servant Who Serves Us 
But 
Have Not A Care To Realize That 
Christ Didn't And Doesn't Serve Us 
For Us To Serve Ourselves! 

Jesus Christ Was A Servant On A Mission Of Mercy 
And 
He Left An Example For Us To Follow! 

Service Is Not Servitude 

Aka It Not Slavishly Doing

A Low Mean Office! 

Love Serves The One Loved ... Willingly 
And
Without Hope Of Reward 
And
All Of Us Who Name The Name Which Is Above All Names 
Need To Get Our Acts Together
And
Humble Ourselves
And 
Stop Behaving Like Satan 
Who Only Wanted The Power And Position 
But 
Not The Humility And Grace That 
Would Have Helped Him Serve Others 
With The Joy That Jesus Felt On The Cross
And 
Feels As He Sees Us Coming Home To His Side 
As A Direct Result Of His Willing Service
His Servant-Work! 

Beloved, 

Only The Humble Are Lifted Up: 
Chew On This Fact
Swallow The Truth
And 
Choose To Indulge Willing, Heartfelt Service
To The Crown 
To The Majesty Of Glory
To Be Eternally Saved And Blessed!

Servants Follow The Lead Of Their Masters!
Jesus Repaired To Our Father!
Jesus Prayed Constantly To Our Father
And
Jesus Kept Himself In Constant Communion With Our Father!
Talking To Our Father Was The Way Of Life For Our Jesus Christ
And
He Gained The Promised Blessings
And
He Successfully Fulfilled His Earthly Mission
And
Returned To The Bosom Of Our Father In Heaven
As The Conquering King
And
With Trophies To Prove That 
The Victory For Us Is Won!

Beloved,

Are You Truly Following Jesus Christ's Path Home
To Our Father's House In Glory
Where Blessings Are As The Sands Of The Sea
As The Leaves Of Autumn
As The Great Showers Of The Spring
As The Grand Fall Of The Snow Of Winter!?!
Are You Communing With Our Father God
As To An Intimate And Ever-Present Able, Helpful
Forever Savior, Lord, God And Trustworthy Friend!?!
Please Dare To Ask The Questions
And
Dare To Find Answers That 
Satisfy The Heart That Beats For ... Jesus Christ Alone!

Pride Can't Wear The Lord Christ's Crown

Too Worldly-Wise To Need The Win Over Sin

To Mighty To Be Mindful Of Wrong-Way Walking

And

Too Illuminated To Be By Truth Teachable

Don't Bow Before The King:

They Are Wearing Pearls
And
"The Emperor's New Clothes"

And

Are Willingly Wallowing In The Muck And Mire With The Swine! 

They Refuse Jesus Christ's Offer Of The New Birth! 

To Get To The Father's Glory

One Must Go Through Jesus Christ
The Lowly, Beloved Only Son! 

To Get The Righteous Man's Crown

One Must Be A Participant In The Good News Gospel Story! 

To Be Served At The Welcome Home Table

One Must Have First Served The Lord And His Fellowman

And

To Be Lifted Up To The Lord's Glory

One Must Be Faithful To The Always-Faithful King

Who Is, For His Beloved, Enduringly-Faithful Saints

Personal Places Preparing! 

Faithfulness To The Lord Christ
Is Its Own Reward ...

We Are Called To Fellowship ... Communion
Feasting And Celebration

To Live Forevermore
With The Faithful God Who Is The I AM! 

While We Live, We Are Present! 

When We Die, We Are Passed From Time Into Eternity 

And Yet

Through It All

The Lord Christ Is Ever-Present 

Being Our Rock Of Refuge

Our Strong Tower Of Defence

Our Shelter In Calm And In Storm

Our Hope

Our Help

Our Salvation

Our Shepherd Of Rest

And

Our Only Hope For The Glory Unto Which We Are Called! 

Our Great God Cannot Lie! 

His Hands Are Not Short That 

He Cannot Perform His Promises

And 

His Ear Is Not Deaf To Our Cries 
Because 

He Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities

By All That Concerns Us! 

Our God Is The Promise-Keeping God Who IS ... Here 

To Bless, Save, Reveal Truth
Revive And Reform Us

And 

Seal Us Against The Wrath To Come! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Jesus Christ Cannot Fail You 

So Be Faithful To Him: Believe Him

Receive Him

And 

Be Blessed To Live With Him Forevermore! 

He Personally Loves YOU

And

He Daily Gives Unto You A Daily Ration Of His Faith
To Use To Each Day To Get Home To Him!

You Are Not Called To Believe The Impossible! 

You Are Called To Set Aside Self

To Humble Your Willful Yourself

To Use Your Gift To Bless The Lord
Bless Yourself

And

Bless Others Each Day

As You Walk With Lord

To The Land Called Glory! 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Willing Sinner! 

Christ's Sure Salvation Makes The Confessed 
And 
Repentant Sinner

A Saint Of Almighty And Jesus The Christ! 

Victory ... Over Sin, Self, Satan, Hell

And

The Last Enemy, Death

Was Purchased For Us By Our Savior-King

And Is

Guaranteed To Be Achieved By Us
Through The Faith That He Gives Unto Us
Which, Used, Cannot Ever Fail! 

Please Look Up To Jesus, Our Lord Christ

And

By His Loving Care

Your Needy Soul Abundantly Feed! 

Give Him Your Will To Control!
Let No One
No Habit
No Sin
Steal Either Your Joy In Jesus
Nor Your Purchased-At-Infinite-Cost Crown! 

Peace!

Pride Will Never With Faith Treat

Because

Pride Is The Presumptuous Sinner's

Precarious Perch

From Which He Refuses To Descend

Because That Would Mean

His Unprofitable High-Mindedness

And

Gross Disobedience Must End!

PRAYER: I Won't Complain, Dear Father!

Father,

I Love You!

I Need You To Survive

And

I Am Not Even Going To Try To Survive

Without You By My Side!

You Are My Father

My Savior

My God

My Lord

And

I Choose To Stand Up For My Jesus

Who Will Carry Me To Your House

To The Promised, Heavenly, Reward!

Why Should I Be Discouraged

With Life And Its Vagaries

When Troubles Come A-Knocking

And

Problems Multiply Like Fleas

When I Have Your Glorious Hand

Giving Help

Providing Healing

Drawing A Tapestry Of Love, Joy

Truth, Peace And Blessing

Giving Me  Reason To Hope And To Cope!?!

Father, 

You Know That I Am Human

A Child Of Love

Made Of Dust

Given Your Holy Breath Of Life

A Sinner

Weak

Needing Your Love, Grace And Mercy

Each And Every Day

So

I Will Not Stand Up

On The Pillar Of My Natural Weakness

Using It As A Cheap Excuse For Sin!

I Choose, Dear Father

With Your Richest Blessings

To Walk, In Faith, For Love

With Him Who Strengthens Me

With Him Through Whom I Can Do

All Things That Are Good, True, Noble 

Honorable, Lovely, Right

So That I Will Your Holy Heart

Please And Truly Delight!

Father, 

I Could Murmur And Complain!

I Could Cuss Up A Storm And Be Profane!

I Could Sell My Birth-Right To Eat Red Beans 

Which Come Out In The Draught!

I Could Walk Wild And Willful

Deliberately Negotiating Satan's Damnable Path

And

I Could Give Up On Your Promises

But

In The Blessed Name Of My Jesus

I Can't Because I Believe You At Your Word!

I Trust You!

I Trust The Promises Made!

I Feel The Blessings Poured Out!

I Daily Receive The Day's Gift Of Workable Faith

And

I Am Enfolded In Your Mercy

And

Ministered To By Your Grace

And

Comforted, Taught, Guided And Chided

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Protected And Influenced By Your Holy Angels

And

Bathed In Your Love Divine!

I Have Every Reason To Sing Your Praise!

You Know My Name! 

You Made My Frame! 

You Hear My Cry!

I Know You Love Me, Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally

And

You Know From My Heart That I Desire You! 

Please Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Please Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

Whether I Can See Or Feel You! 

Please Help Me Live Faithfully On The Living Word

The Bread Of Life

And 

To Walk With Endurance

To Watch With Diligence

To Wait With Patience

To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation

Unto The Day Of Redemption

Or While This Short Life Shall Last! 

Lord, 

I Am Your Child: Feed Me! 

I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus: Teach Me! 

I Am Your Servant: Commission Me! 

I Am Willing To Work

So Please Bless Me To Obey!

Please, Dear Father

Equip Me To Serve

And

Strengthen Me To Perform

Enlivening My Mind

And

Granting Me Wisdom And Understanding

So That The Knowledge Which I Acquire

Will Bless Me

And

Bless Me To Bless Others

To Come To Know And Love My Lord Christ

Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!

Thank You, Father

For The Call To Life!

Thank You For The Infinite Sacrifice!

Thank You For Your Blessings Each And Every Day

And

Thank You For Hearing And Answering 

Faith-Filled, Humble, Heartfelt, Prayers

Offered Up In The Name Of The Lovely Jesus! 

Grant Unto Your People The Blessed Perfect Peace

And 

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Obey

All Who Will Submit Their Personal Will 

To The Will Of The Eternal God 
Walk Willingly In All His Ways 
For They Have The Obedient Heart
The Willing Spirit ... Just As The Lord Christ Had
 When He Walked Among Us! 

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice!
Faith Is Better Than Doubt!
Light Is Better Than Darkness!
Truth Is Better Than Error
And 
Salvation Is Better Than Sin! 

I Hear That!

I Know That For A Fact!

I Can Recall Those Times
When For This Necessary Knowledge
I Seriously Had A Lack!

Understand This ...

Wisdom Tells Us Plainly That
Jesus Christ Saves Only The Repentant 
So Let Not Be Prideful! 
Let Us Be Humble 
And 
Grateful ... For Grace
And 
Let Us Yield To The Holy Spirit's Loving Call!

With Enduring-All Faith
Let Us Lovingly And Humbly Bow Before The Holy One

The Lord Who Is Almighty God And 
Without Exception
Expect To Be Eternally Blessed!

Walking With Jesus Christ Leads To Rare Reward! 
His Glory Awaits! 

Since No One Knows Tomorrow
Or What Each New Day Will Bring
Think Deeply Upon This, Brethren
And
With Faith In Jesus Leading
Let Your Heart For Our Lord Christ Sing:

What A Blessing To The Heart 

To Directly, Positively, Know That Our God

The Creator Of All Things Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown

Is 

Joyful

And 

Sings Over Us 

Even Though We Caused Him Sorrow And Pain ...!

... And Some Of Us Are Still Doing It!

Just Make Sure That You Are Not Amongst Them!

Indeed!

Imagine, If You Will
The Rejoicing That Takes Place In Heaven
When One Of Us Departs From Sinning 

And 

Walks In The Way Of Grace Unto Christ's Salvation! 

Imagine ... By Working Faith

The Lord's Face 

And 

His Voice Singing With Joy ... Just For You

His Well-Beloved Child

Who Has Chosen To Walk By His Side

And 

Let Yourself Be Guided And Comforted

By This Blessed Knowledge Today And Always! 
I Love You
But
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves You The Very Best!
May His Peace Be Your Rest!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAY AND STAND TALL: Almighty God Regards

When Your Fruits Hang Low
Someone Will Pick Them!
When Your Paling Is Tottering
Someone Will Give It A Kick!
When Your Name Is Being Lambasted
Someone Will Give It A Lick
And
You, Poor One Tormented
 Like An Activated Time-Bomb 

Offended
Shall Surely Start Aggressively To Tick!

But, Wait ...

Oh, Trembling Child Of Almighty God!
Oh, Willing Servant Of The Savior
Have You Forgotten That
The Lord Does Have Regard For
Your Helpless Estate!?! 

Have You Forgotten The Promise Given

By The Blood Of The Only One Innocent Shed

For You
For Me!?!

He Who Loves Sacrificially
Made, Makes ... Is Making
The Strait And Narrow Way Plain
Perfect
For Feet Shod By Salvation

To Deliver The Gospel Of Peace
Despite
The Tar Balls
The Terrors
The Threats
The Thunderings
The Torments
That Seem Never To Relent!

Believe!
Be Bold!
To Sin Turn Your Shoulder Cold
And
Rest
In Perfect Peace In Him Who Is Love

Who Eternally Lives
Him In Whose Grace You Grow
In Him Whose Mercy You Know
You May Stand Firmly

To Be Tried, Tested ... Perfected
Because
He Holds Your Heart
Your Head
Your Hand
Because

He Is Your Home!

Earthly Possessions Perish!
Palings Fall!
Fruit Trees Rot!
Dominions Get Decimated!
Principalities Fail!
Powers Bail Out While Serving Self, Satan, And Sin
But
Your Service To The Savior
The Lord Our God The King
Is 

Rewarded Via Salvation
With Redemption Guaranteed:

The Day Of Glorification 

Is 

Coming

And 

Is Even Now On The Wing 

So Do Not Let The Worldly "Wisdom" 

And 

The Ways

Of

Those Not Working With The Holy God

Rob You Of Your Possession

In The Palace Of The King

In The City Of The Eternal God!

Pray And Stand Tall ...

Almighty God Is Holding You:
Do Not Let Go Of The Hand Of The Living God! 

Faithful Obedience To Holy, Saving, Truth
Blesses

And 

Is Blessed ... In Due Season
By Eternal Life With Our God

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ...

Almighty God Makes Provision
For That Which He Prepares:

The Lord Jesus Christ ... For Your Soul

Does Personally Care:

Be Faithful!

Be Strong!

By Mercy And Grace Be Assured!

Sin Will Be Cured!

Victory In Christ Jesus

Shall Surely Be Yours!

Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus!

Rest Easy In The Lord:

You Are Blessed!

F. O. E: Be A Foe To The Foe!

Every Human On The Earth
Has And Needs S.C.E.O
- Strength, Courage, Eyesight, Opportunity -
If 
We Are Going To Walk Triumphantly
In, To, And With The Light Of Life

If

We Are Going To Delight In The Lord

And
So That We Shall The Heart Of The Eternal God
Totally Bless
And
Entirely Delight!

We Are Known To Be Weak By Nature:
In Jesus Christ We Are Made Strong!

We Need Holy Strength
To Buck The Trends Of The World
And
To Walk Under The Banner
Of Him Whose Death, Burial, Resurrection

Ascension 

And 

Present Mediation In The Most Holy Place Of

The Heavenly Sanctuary
Gives Life To Our Faith, Obedience, Endurance
Which Makes Us Faithful Ones

The Foe Of The Foe!

Jesus Christ Saves!

Drum Beats ...

It Takes Courage
- Committed-Christian Courage -
To Row Upstream On A Downstream Current
To Turn Away From Accepted Knowledge
From Popular Influence

And
From Going With The Flow
To Following Him Who Gives Life
And
Who Causes Us Spiritually To Grow!

Different ...

We Are Not Bats
Denizens Of Darkness
Devoid Of Eyesight
But
Thriving On Sonar
On Echo-Location!

We Are Children ... Creatures
Made In The Image Of The Eternal God
The Epitome Of His Earthly Creations
Called 
To Worship Our Maker
To Love God And Our Fellowman
To Willing Obedience Of The Laws Of Our Creator God
To Procreate In Our Own Image
To Subdue The Earth
To Replenish It
To Experience The Goodness 

And 

Grace Of The Eternal God
And
By Confession And Repentance
And
Walking Wise Unto Soul Salvation
Get Out From Under The Curse Of The Fall
And
Tell Others The Truth Of The Gospel That 
Jesus Christ Saves
Blesses, Reveals
And
Seals ... For Eternity
Those Persons Desiring
Self, Will, Way, And Choice
Willingly
To His Loving Care To Yield!

Physical Eyesight Or Lack Thereof
Is 
No Deterrent
To Following The God Who Is Love!

Spiritual Eyesight Is For Us
A Necessity
And
Only Christ Can Render It To Us
Only Jesus Can Cause Us Truly To See
So That We Will The Living Word Truly Believe! 

Jesus Christ Heals!

We Need
And
We Have
One Opportunity To Choose Abundant Life In Christ Now
And
Eternal Life With Christ Later! 

We Have One Life To Live
And
There Is No Life Do-Over!

We Have One Life To Give To The Lord Christ
And
It Is By Him ... With Him
And
Because Of Him
That The Separating Line Between Life And Death
Salvation And Damnation
Light And Darkness
Belief And Doubt
Truth And Error
AndHope And GloryWe Can Cross Over!

Hell Was Not Created For Humans!

Heaven Is Our True Home!

The Walk Of Faith
To The Light Of Life
By The Grace Of The Holy God
Sees Us Walking Right
From Man's Appointed Death
To Christ's Purchased For Us Eternal Life
And
We Must Be Strengthened To See Clearly
We Must Be Courageous To Accept The Opportunity Provided
We Must Use Spiritual Eyesight
To See As Christ Sees
To Call Sin By Its True Name
To Accept The Hand Of Help Offered
To Accept The Gift Revealed

And

To Recognize The Opportunity On The Table
For What It Is
From Whom It Comes
From Whence It Comes
What It Does
Where It Leads
And
All It Willingly, Plainly, Clearly, Reveals!

Repeat It ...

We Have One Life To Live
One Heart To Give
One Road To Life To Walk
And
During Which The Real Gift To Open
To Enjoy
To Share In Time For A Time
And
If Enduringly Faithful To Mortal Life's End
To Be Glorified
To Enjoy For Eternity!

The Lord Is Our Strength!
He Renews The Strength Of Those Who Wait Upon Him!

The Lord Says Be Strong In Him
And
Be Of A Good Courage!

The Lord Is With Us 
And 
Goes Before Us
Making The Way 
Marking The Path
And
Blessing Us Who Stay Grounded On The King's Highway!

Our Carnal Eyesight
Is 
Made Spiritual
When We Purchase And Use The Eye-Salve Compounded By
And
Made Available To Us
Directly From The Way-Maker
The Great Physician
The Light Of Every Man
So That We No Longer See Through A Glass Darkly
And
We No Longer See Other Men As Shade Trees
But
As Sinners ... Fallen
Hurting, Deceived, Desperate, Dying
And
Ourselves Likewise!

We No Longer See Life Through Our Excuses:
We See Through The Frame Of 
Confession And Repentance
Out Of Blood-Bought Lenses
From The Eternal Brand - JSG:IOE
- Justification, Sanctification, Glorification -
Which Provides Transitional-Progressive Eyesight
Instant, On-Going And Eternal!

Justification 
Is 
Instant Eyesight Upon Acceptance Of The Gift!

Sanctification 
Is 
On-Going Eyesight
Insight, Hindsight, Foresight
And
The Work Of A Lifetime
In The Life Committed To Christ!

Glorification 
Is 
Eternal Eyesight
Conferred On The Great Day Of Small Things
When The Lord Christ Shall Appear
Bearing That Precious Reward With Him
To Give To Those Who Accepted His Offer
His Love, His Gift ... His Life
And
Who Rejected The Liar
Who Were Not Deceived
Who Chose By His Life To Be Blessed
Who Made A Covenant With Him By Sacrifice
Who Purchased From Him
Gold Tried In The Fire
And
Linen White And Clean
And
That Eye-Salve By Which They Gained 
The Heavenly Life-Enhancing Eyesight!

Your Foe Is Satan!
The Lord Gives Us F.O.E. 
To Give To His Foe Who Is Also, Obviously, Our Foe!

Your Daily Gift Of
F aith Which Leads To
O bedience Which Engenders
E ndurance
And
Willingly, Humbly, Conscientiously, Willfully, Utilized
Makes You Angry Satan's Bitter Foe!

Live Like You Personally Know Your Savior

Jesus Christ The King

The Lord Of Earth And Glory!
