VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mercy Is Free For Me And Thee!

How Often Have We Wanted, Needed, Desired Something 

But 

Didn't Receive It 

Because 

We Didn't Choose To Humble Ourselves Enough To Ask For It!?! 

Too Often, I Dare Say! 

Beloved, 

We Are Instructed 

To Approach Boldly The Throne Of Grace That 

We May Obtain The Available Mercy! 

If We Don't Ask For Almighty God's Mercy

Then We Will Not Find His Free-To-All Grace

That Unmerited Favor

The Divine Power To Help Us In Our Time Of Need 

Which Is Every Day That Live And Breathe! 

If You're Proud, Humble Yourself! 

If Your Dumb, Speak In Your Heart

Write A Note

Talk Your Talk To The Lord! 

Remember That We Don't Pray As We Ought To 

So, In Mercy, The Holy Spirit Intercedes For Us 

With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered! 

Our Joy 

Is 

To Ask 

And 

Almighty God's Love Always Answers With What Is Best For Us 

And

Delivers More And Better Than We Could Have Ever Asked

Anticipated Or Expected! 

Mercy Is A Truly Beautiful Word, Concept, Construct, That 

We Should Gladly Accept 

And

Generously Apply! 

Mercy: 

Meeting 

Each 

Request With 

Compassion For Every 

Yearning Soul

There Is Forgiveness, Benevolence

And 

Kindness Within The Lord's Mercy 

So Big-Up Yourself By Showing Yourself Small

Helpless, Sinful

Needy

Repentant, Reconciled, Redeemed

Blessed! 

Please Put Arrogance And Pride Out Of Your Heart-House 

And 

Actively Seek Kindness From Jesus Christ The Lord! 

May The Blessings Of The Lord Make You Rich Today 

And 

Forever! 

Peace! 

GRACE: SomeEnoughSufficient!

We Are All Well Aware Of The Statement 

Where Our God Known Real And Holy Says That 

His Grace Is Sufficient For Us! 

There Are Some Of Us Who Love To Say That 

We Live Under The Grace Of God 

And 

Not The Law Of God 

When Corrected For Whatever Reason! 

But Do We Ever Consider 

What Is Meant By Or Wrapped Up In 

Almighty God's Grace!?! 

Grace ... Like True Love

Feels ... And Works! 

Grace ... Unmerited Favor

Gives Unto Each One Of Us

- Deserving Or Not -

Favor Aka Loving Kindness 

And

Favors Aka Gifts For Love's Sake! 

Beloved, 

Have You Considered That 

You May Be Personally Depriving Yourself Of 

The Lord's Choicest Gifts 

Because 

You Are Not Drawing Close To Him 

In The Loving Intimacy Of Knowing!?! 

In The Biblical Knowing

Two People Become One 

In A Committed Love Relationship! 

When We Ultimately Become One With Christ

We Shall Be Like Him 

And

We Shall See Him As He Is 

Because

We Shall See Him Face To Face

But

For Us To Get To That Date

We Must Be Communing With Him Today! 

Grace 

Is 

Only Sufficient 

When We Have Had Some Of It In Its Fullness 

To Then Be Able To Say Enough 

For It To Be Sufficient ... For Our Then Need! 

We Need The Experience! 

To Truly Love The Lord Christ

We Must Start With Willing Obedience: 

Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 

Where Mercy Is Free For Me And Thee! 

Peace Is The River Glorious! 

HAPPY SABBATH + R.S.V.P.: The Great Invitations

We Have The Great Invitations: 

Come Unto Me! 

Come And Dine! 

Come And Reason! 

Come And Rest! 

Come And Follow Me! 

Come And Be Blessed! 

Are You Listening!?! 

Are You Obeying!?! 

Have You, Are You, Will You Accept The Invitations 

Which Are All One 

Because 

They Come From The Holy Heart Of The Great God Who Knows You

Knows Your Frame

And

Knows Your Need

And

Desires ... Above All Else ... Your Soul's Salvation!?! 

Beloved,

Our All-Sufficient God Calls Unto Us 

Because 

He Loves Us

Because 

He Is Able To Do All 

That He Tells Us That He Will Do For Us!

Jesus Christ The Lord, The King, Loves Us Sacrificially! 

Our Lord Invites Us To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

Not To Shoot The Breeze

But

To Let Our Requests Be Made Known Unto Almighty God! 

Are You Willing!?! 

Do You Trust Him!?! 

Then Get On Board The Train To Glory 

And 

Bless God 

And 

Read About Him And His Blessings Upon Others 

And 

Also Personally Experience 

And 

Reflect On His Goodness And Grace!

He Knows Your Name! 

Reach For His Holy Hand

And 

Stay Close To His Loving, Giving Heart

And 

Accept All That He Has For You 

And

Tell Somebody About This Good ... Faithful 

And 

Infinitely Gracious God 

Who Gives Every Good And Perfect Gift

Who Cries When We Cry

And 

Rejoices Over Our Victories 

And

Prays 

And 

Intercedes For Us Before His Father ... Our Father! 

Our Invitations Are Real! 

Additionally ... 

We May Have His Spirit By Request: 

Dare To Pray And Receive Your Gift Today! 

Let The Peace Of Jesus

Wash Over You

Today!!

CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH: There Is More To Fear From Within!?!

Spirit Of The Living God

Fall Afresh On All The Brethren:

We Need Thee!

A Rotten Egg Is Dangerous ... Twice!
It Looks Good

Gives The Impression Of Being Beneficial
But
Once Broken
Smells Egregiously Bad

And

Taints All Touchers

Be They The Good, The Ugly Or The Bad!

Fashionably Playing With Sin ...

Don't Join The Fad
Thinking That With Its Possession
Your Domain Will Be Happy, Comfy And Glad! 

Do Not Take A Dab! 

With Known Sin Do Not Dabble!

Do Not Join The Gainsaying Rabble!
Bad Is Bad!

Guard Your Heart ...

To Believe Satan's Words

Is 

To Believe In Fables!

To Give Salvation

Only The Living God, Through Jesus, Is Able!

Brethren,

I Sincerely Believe That We Know Of A Surety That
The Kingdom Of God
Via His People On Earth
Is 

Seriously Under Attack!

It Wouldn't Be So Bad
If The Attack Was External
But
Truth Be Told
The Attack On Almighty God's Kingdom
Is
Internal!

Biblical History

And World History Speaks ...

Haven't We Learned Anything From King Herod!?!

Achan!?!

Balaam!?!

Judas Iscariot!?! 

Ananias And Sapphira!?!

We Have More To Fear From Inside
Than What Is Outside!

Enter: The Dragon's Egg

Creeping Compromise!

Creeping Compromise Does Not Roar!
He Speaks ... Softly
To Me
To Thee
To Everybody!

Creeping Compromise Offers ... The Cure
For All The Saints Who Want To Be Friends 

To All The Faiths Of The Church World!

Friends With The Wilding, Whirling, World
Friends With The Churl
Who To The Depths Of Hell
Would Our Hearts And Persons Hurl!

Creeping Compromise Is Sold As Food!
He Is Shelter!
He Is Common-Good Glue

And
A Party Canape

And
He Is A Hot Toddy
Alcohol Infused
Sure To Comfort And Confuse
The Unwary Body!

Creeping Compromise Is Even Billed As

A Feel-Good, Good-For-You Hobby!

Creeping Compromise Does Not Offend ... Man!
He Offends The Creator!
He Does Not Offend The Liar!
To The Truth He Is A Bold Traitor

And

He Cannot Be Walked Upon
Rested Upon
Relied Upon
Because
He Has No Power

And

He Will Be Burned, Consumed

With All Remaining Being Dust ... Powder!

He Is Even Now Irretrievably Mixed 

With The Doubting, Disbelieving

Gainsaying, Own-Way Brethren

And
Is Making Them Fit Only To Become
Lake Of Fire Chowder!

WARNING:

Creeping Compromise Is A Sneak
Whose Pointy "But" Has A Slow Leak
Which Leaves A Stain
Upon Every Upturned Cheek
Which Causes The One Smeared
Of The Stench Of Willful Sin
Known Sin
- Unconfessed Sin -
Substantially To Reek!

But, Even Now, There Is Hope ...

The Dragon 

Is 

Already Defeated By The Willing Sacrifice Of

The Able, Loving, Faithful, Innocent

Giving, Blessing, And Still Receiving 

Sinners-Turned-Saints, Lord Jesus Christ
And

Is Just Waiting ... Not Idly Though

For The Formalities 

- For The Known Dead -
So Don't Suck The Egg!

If You Do

You Shall Surely Drink

The Bitter Cup's Dregs!

Eat Of The Living Bread!

Shouldn't The Living

After The Living God Holy

Boldly, Eagerly, Longingly, Seek!?!

IT'S DEEP: The Love Of God

Two Gardens
Two Adams
One First ... One Last!
One Test
Two Participants
One An An Abject Failure
The Other A Resplendent Pass!

Eden Garden .. Adam
Garden Gethsemane ... Jesus Christ
Both Were Troubled
By The Demon Not Nice
Lucifer Gone Rogue
Turned Satan
The Mortal Enemy Of Souls!

Adam The First, Assailed
Took The Test And Failed!
Adam The Last, Assaulted
Took The Test
And
At The Ultimate Showdown
Bruised The Head Of
The Snake In The Grass
The Heel Biter
The Piercing Serpent
Leviathan
Behemoth
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Enemy Of Souls
And
Ascended On High
Triumphant
Having That Death-Dealing Test
Well And Truly Passed!

Satan Has Been, By Truth
Totally, Totally, Outclassed
And
There Is A Non-Refundable 
Inescapable 
Unwanted Burning In His Future
For The Maliciously Evil Things 
He Is Doing In The Time Called Present
And
For What Was Done In Millenia Of His Sordid Past!

The Truth Must Be Told ...

Adam The First Looked At Self
But
Adam The Last Looked At Sin
And
Solemnly Said:

You Shall Not My Children Hold Fast!

I Shall Sacrifice My Self For Their Sin

And

You Shall Become A Thing Of The Past!

Your Inflicted Sorrow Shall Not For Eternity Last

For My Children Shall Upon Me

Their Sin-Burden Cast!

My Love For Them Knows No Bounds

Because

It Is Eternity Vast!

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

Jesus Christ Paid It All!

Brethren, Beloved

We Have In All Of Us

The Nature Of Adam The First

But

Because Of The Love And Sacrifice Of

Adam The Last

And

His Mercy And Grace

And

Our Willing Confession 

And 

Repentance Of Known Sin

We Have The Gift Of Forgiveness

And

The Right To Life

If

We Choose To Believe The Promise Given

In The Shed Blood Of Adam The Last

Aka Jesus Christ The Righteous

The King Of Love

The Lord Of Glory

The Creator Of Heaven And Earth

Our Surety And Security

The Sacrifice That Saves Us

The Redeemer Of The Brethren

Our Hope For Passing Glory

The Only Begotten Of The Father

The Hope Of Every Man

Our Blessedness!

There's Only One Path To Life ...

Please Don't Be Bold In Sin

And

Timid In The Admission

And

Confession And Repentance For Same!

Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost

So ...

Believe And Live

Because We Have These Promises  ...

SATAN IS THE LIAR: Baptized Sin!?!

The Law Of God
- The Believer's Rule For Living Life -
Is
The Bold Sinner's Condemnation
And
All Who Choose Self
Instead Of The Great Law To Obey
Shall Suffer Loss
Because
For Their Own Sin ... They Shall Pay!

You're Bold ...

You Can't Break The Law Of God
On The One Hand
And
- At The Same Time -
Accept Salvation Free On The Other
Because
There Is No Disunity In The Economy Of
The Eternal
- That Righteous Merciful Ever-Loving God -
And
He Will Never Permit Double-Mindedness
In Neither Me Nor You!
That's The Way Of The God-Fraud!

Lord, Lord ...

Many Are Those Who Call Out
And
Call Upon
The Worthy Name Loudly!
Many Are The Teachers Who Sing Loudly
The Popular Song Of Deliverance From Sin
But
Their Idea Of Sin
Is
Of Their Own Deciding
And
They, In Their Damnable Pride
Believe That New Truth ... To "Gullible" Us
They Are Timely Providing!

Facts Remain ...

Man Cannot Denote Sin!
Sin Is The Transgression Of 

The Law Of The Holy God!
The Law Of God
Is
The Transcript Of The Living God's Character
- His Glory -
And

His Will For Man

And
There Is No Man 

Who Can Give The Almighty Infinite 

Another Character Known Finite
And
Still Be Telling The Saving Truth That Is
The Good News
The Gospel Story!

Self-Service ...

When Self Writes Speaks Of 

- Teaches -
The Law Of God
Based Off Unregenerate Intellect
And
Prideful Personal Standing
In The Popular Market-Place
Desiring To Please John Q. Public
And
Ease The Consciences Of Money Man
Power Broker
And
Influence Peddler
To The Detriment Of Their Purchased Souls
We End Up With Characters About Which
The Righteous Lord Is Not

Cannot
Will Never Be Sold!

Base Line ...

Sin Is A Bottom Feeder
That Sells Brass As Gold!
Sin 

Is 

A Side-Winder
That Works Rot And About It Is Bold!
Sin Is A Pernicious Influence
Selling Thing-Hot As Thing-Cold
And
Rejoices When The Unsuspecting
On Its Craven Trifles Is Sold!

Brethren,Anyone
Who Gets Anything From Anybody
That Says Everything About Sin 

Is 

Subjective
Should Boldly Ask Plainly
What Is The Seller's Objective
And
Ask To See The Provenance That
Identifies Its Pedigree
And
Request Bluntly
The "Thus Saith The Lord!"
Which Always, Always, Ever
Protects Me And Thee
From Satan's Insanity!

Man Washing Self Of Sin

 Will Never

Render Man Clean!

PRAYER: Come, Holy Spirit!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Love Your Holy Word!

Please Grant Unto Me

The Attendant Wisdom

So That I

With Understanding

I Will Take The Knowledge Gained

To Do All According To Your Will

To Help Further The Work

That Blesses The Living Kingdom!

Please, Lord

I Am Inviting The Holy Spirit

Into My Heart

And

I Desire Your Assistance

To Help Me Declutter

To Cast Out That Which Does Not Edify

And

To Make Comfortable Room

For The Comforter To Work In!

I Submit My Will!

I Am Listening, Lord!

Please Help Me To Hear

That Still Small Voice Of God 

Who Will Teach Me

And

Lead Me Into All Righteousness

So That At The Dawning Of The Great Day

I Shall Be Forever Blessed!

Father,

I Am A Living Witness To 

And

A Grateful Recipient Of Your Grace

And

I Beseech You, Beloved Father

To Fix Me

So That I May Arrive Safely

To Reside In My Own

Christ-Prepared Place!

Please Remember My Brethren, Lord

Many Of Whom Are Struggling

To Get Out Of Darkness

And

To Get Into To Holy Light!

Protect Them And Keep Them In Your Care

Through The Struggle So Real

And

Bless Them, I Beseech You

So That They Do Not Turn Away

From The Path Of Truth

Because Of Satan-Inspired Opposition 

And

Known Ungodly Fear!

Please Help Us All, Lord

To Extend The Welcome Mat

With A Gracious Invitation

So That The Spirit Of Truth

Will Direct Us And Chide

Lead Us And Abide With Us

So That When The Day Of Vengeance Comes

We, Like True Sun Flowers

Will Turn Toward Son Of Righteousness

And

Not Run To The Rocks And Hills For Refuge!

Abide with Us, Lord! 

Help Us To Abide In You

For

You Are The God Holy

Faithful Kind

Blessing

Almighty

Saving

And

Ever True!

Please Hear Our Prayer

And

Grant Us Your Surpassing Peace

For We Ask All

In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Name!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Oh, For A Teachable Spirit! - A Prayer

Oh To Be Teachable!

Oh, To Be Meek!

Oh, To Be Willing To Be Instructed

And

Christ's Faith To Boldly Seek!

Unto Thee, Lord

I Lift Up My Eyes

To Gaze Upon Your Majesty

Even As Sin

I Decry

For

I Desire Your Blessing

And

 My Sin I'm Confessing!

I Desire In The Everlasting Kingdom

My Own Promised Place

So, Please

Father

In Mercy

Let Me Not Hanker After Things

That Tend To My Disgrace!

I Subscribe Not

To Wants Many!

I Acknowledge Of Needs

Few!

I Long For The White Robe

Of Christ's Righteousness

And

I Plead Lord

Let Me Not Lean

To My Own Understanding

So That Satan

Can't Cause Me

From Your Truth

To Be Askew!

I Am Your Child, Lord

And

I Accept Your Offer Of Salvation

Which Puts You

Under Obligation

To Teach Me

Lead Me

Guide Me

Correct

Feed Me

Get Me Safely Home

For I Commit To You

My Will

My Way

Praying Ever

In Holy Faith

To See You

With My Own Eyes

In The Day

When Faith

Becomes Face!

I've Been To The River

And

I Have Been Baptisted!

Please Pour Out Your Spirit

Upon Me

And

Don't Let Me

Prophesy

Smooth Things

Nor

Comfortable Lies!

I Am Leaning On You, Lord!

Let Me Your Ways Learn!

Let Me Be A Faithful Witness

And

Not Your Truth Spurn!

I Desire To Hear

"Faithful Servant!

Welcome!

Well Done!"

And

Pray That My Jesus

In Great Glory

Will Soon Come!

In Jesus Christ's Name

I Humbly Plead

And

In Confidence Stand!

AMEN.

AVAILABLE : God's Free Mercy!

Almighty God's Mercy
Walks A Thorny Path
Slighted By Puffed-Up Men
Who Sniff 
AND
Spit
When She Does Pass!

Uncaring
They Dismiss Her!
Ignorant By Will
From Her They Look Away
Blissfully Unaware
Uncaring
That There Is The Day Coming
When For What Was Available Free 
They Would With Their Sordid Lives
Unfailingly Pay!

Problem Is
Mercy Cannot Be
Begged
Bought
Bartered
Nor Sold!
Mercy Is Non-Negotiable!
Mercy Is Not A Hot Beverage Sold Cold!

Mercy
Has Grace Attached!
Grace Has Abiding Love!
The Abiding Love Of A Dear Savior
In Whose Heart
We Fit 
Like Customized Gloves!

Mercy Wears A Simple Dress
Known As Salvation From The Eternal God
With Perfect Shoes Called
Confession And Repentance Of Sin
AND
The Merits Of Jesus Christ Take Hold!

In Mercy's Hands Are
Forgiveness
AND
Blessing!
The Entreaty In Her Loving Eyes Say:
"Beloved Sinner Come Home!"
AND
In Her Voice
Is The Call To Holy Communion
AND
The Request To Accept God's Gifts
With Blessed Hope And Humility
AND
Not To Live A Life Of Gross Futility!

BUT ...

Sorrowful Is Her Walk Among Men
No Matter Their Ages
AND
Nor Matter Their Stages!

Bitter Is The Taste
Crude Men Leave In Her Mouth!
Burning Are Her Ears
From Crass Imprecation
AND
Blood-Red Her Eyes
From Innumerable Shed Tears!

Dear Ones,
Draw Near
AND
Hear
Her Gentle Voice Calling!
Draw Near - There Is No Need For Fear!
Draw Near
For He Who Sends Her
Is Waiting
To Accept Those Who Answer
Her Quiet Calls
Into His All-Encompassing Care!

Take Heed
AND
Take A Moment To Remember
The People Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Of Biblical Fame
And Note That
Idleness
Fulness Of Bread
Greed For Gain
In A Licentious Domain
Caused All To Perish
In Fiery Conflagration
Because Self
Refused Mercy 
AND
Her Loving Restraints!

God's Mercy
Once Accepted
Has Holds
On What Once Wilful Men
Called Goals!
Willing Acceptance Of
God's Mercy Makes Men
From Sinning Turn Away Cold!

Imbibing Mercy
Renders One Able
To Walk Upright
AND
Clean
Changing Hateful Dispositions
AND
Righting The One Once Vulgar And Obscene
AND
Before God
Rendering The Enemy
Into A Friend
In Whose Ways
God Is Well Pleased!

Mercy Is Our Friend!
Don't Despise Her, I Plead!
Take Hold Upon Mercy
AND
Look Forward To Growing A Bountiful Crop
From The Seed Of The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Know
Of A Truth
That Satan And His Minions
Won't You From Getting To Heaven
Be Able To Stop!
