CALAMITY: Thou, God, Seest Me!?!

Because The God Of Grace Doesn't Issue Punishments 

Immediately Upon Our Offending His Holiness

Men ... Failing To Hold Their Creator 

And

Savior In Godly Fear

Become Bold To The Point Of Stupidity 

And

With The Voice Of The Infidel Unbeliever, Say: 

"Who Sees Me!?! 

I Can Do Whatever I Want 

And

There Is No One Who Can Stop Me!" 

Beloved, 

Them's Fightin' Words! 

Unless You Made Yourself 

And 

Are The Creator, Savior, And Redeemer Of 

Your Own Soul

You Gonna Cry! 

The Lord In Zion Reigneth:

Heaven Is His Home

And

Earth Is His Footstool

Aka The Planet Upon Which We All Temporarily Reside!

The Lord ... Himself

- Who Is The God Almighty - 

Has Plainly Said:

"You Despise Wisdom

And

You Would Not Accept My Reproofs

So I Will Laugh

When Your Calamity Comes 

Because

You Do Not Hold God

Wisdom

Or Eternity In Your Heart!"

Foolishness Ain't Sense 

And 

Throwing Away Sure Pennies 

To T'ief Possible Pounds Surely Ain't Wise! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Dare To Stand Up Straight!

Dare To And Do Right!

Daringly Walk Wisely

And

Decidedly Discard Man-God Folly! 

Choose To Despise 

The Dark Debilitating Dankness Of Sin 

And 

Lovingly Embrace The Living Light Of Truth!

 

Choose To Do What Is Good And Right

Because 

Therein Is Blessing 

And

Remember Always That The Lord Jesus Christ

Is

King Glorious

And

The Final Judge Of All Flesh! 

Judgment May Be Slow 

But

It Is Sure To Be Right On Time

Because

The Living God

Whose Glory Is His Character Is His Glory 

The Maker And Ruler Of Time

- To Which No May May Say "Nay!" -

The God Of Order

Keeps Time Perfectly!

Check Yourself

Before You WrechYourself:

Humble Yourself

In The Sight Of The Lord

And 

He Will Lift You Up

At The Time Appointed! 

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!

HAPPY SABBATH + COMPLETELY FORGIVEN: Holy Gladness ... Holy Boldness!

The Works Of The Lord Are Infinite! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Are Infinite! 
The Love Of The Lord Is Infinite
And

We Are The Crowning Work Of The Creations Of The Lord

Infinitely Blessed 

And 

Infinitely Loved! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Lord! 

We Sinned Against His Holiness 

And

He Chose To Die To Save Us

Because 
He Is Love Divine
And
Has Infinite Love For Each And Every One Of Us! 

We Are Precious In His Holy Sight
And

We Have His Guaranteed Gift Of Forgiveness 
Available ... Just For The Asking! 

Beloved, 

Since We Are Forgiven By Asking

Shouldn't We ... Completely Forgiven

Be Living With Holy Gladness 
Impossible To Be Destroyed By Time, Terror
Situation Or Circumstance!?! 

Shouldn't We ... Forgiven

And

Cleansed

Approach The Lord's Throne Of Grace With Holy Boldness 
To Make Our Requests Known Unto Almighty God 
Who Gives Every Good 
And 
Perfect Gift!?! 

Our God Is For Us! 
He Died For Us! 
He Lives For Us! 
He Provides For Us
And 
He Is Preparing A Heavenly Place For Us
So Let's Live In Holy Awe 
And 
With Grateful Thanks 
For The Amazing And Good Working Of Our Lord Christ
- Through The Holy Spirit - 
In Our Lives! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Our God Is The Good God: 
Talk To Him 
And
Talk About Him! 

Let's Praise Him From Whom All Our Blessings Flow! 
Peace! 

The Love Of God

Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Is Not
Delivered On A Curve
According To How Few Sins
We Daily Commit!

Jesus Christ Loves Us Each

As If We Are
The Only Human Alive
That
He Sacrificially Desires
To Personally Save!

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

Remember Your Value!

You Are Valuable

Because

The King Of Love

The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Savior Of Every Man

The Redeemer Of Mankind

The God Of Grace

The God Of Glory

The Creator God
God Almighty ... Mighty To Save

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

All-Feeling

Says

You Are Valuable!
Live Like You Know And Believe It!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moderately Christian Christian!?!

We Cannot Beat The Lord's Giving
So Let Us Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation

With Godly Fear And Trembling!

Faith In The Heart 
Calls Forth Holiness In The Life 
And 
There Is No Creeping Compromise
No Yielding To Worldly Wisdom
And 
No Effort Made To Live With The Moderation Of 
"Ecumenical" Christianity 
Which Calls For The Casting Off Of The Plain And Pointed 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
In Favor Of The Deceitful And Deadly 
"Maybe Saith The Probably Good Lord!" 

Beloved,

The Exercise Of Faith Demands Total Obedience 
To The Word, Will And Way Of The Lord! 

The Lord Didn't Stutter When He Said 
To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
And
Every Work Will Be Brought Into Judgment 
With Every Secret Thing! 

We Are To Be Firm In What We Believe
Strong On Whom We Follow
And 
Unshakeable On The Holy Ground 
Upon Which We Are Building Our Sure House! 

A Moderately Christian Christian
Neither Totally Good Nor Totally Evil
And
Neither Fish Nor Fowl
Is 
An Abomination, Condemned ... Damned: 
Poison In Fruit Juice Kills Just As Dead 
As Poison Swallowed Neat! 

Let's Get Real 
And 
Declare Our Allegiance: 
Jesus Christ And Glory ... Or Bust!
Aka We're Going Home To Heaven 
Even If We Die Trying! 

Judgment Day Is On The Way
And 
Now Is Not The Time 
For Chasing Pride's Stolen Rainbow 
So Dare To Stand Firmly On And For The Truth
No Matter The Moral Cost:
Better Is In Store For The People Of God
When We Arrive In The Eternal Kingdom Of God! 

VESPER AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + PRAYER: Heaven At Any Cost Is Free!

I Am Blessed To Be A Christian
For
In Jesus Christ
I Am Free Indeed
Because
I Do Not Have A Fickle Lord
Whose Character Is That Of 

The Wily Wicked Damned-For-All Eternity Fraud!

My Lord, The Christ
In Sacrificial Love
Chose To Save Me
Before I Was Born
AND
My Salvation Is Not Just Salvation
For An Event Of One Day
BUT

Is Eternal Salvation
IF I Should Choose To Take It
To Get Me To The Heavenly Land
Where There Is Neither Night Nor Cares There!

Prior Present Knowledge Of My Lord Christ
Is A Great Necessity
IF I Should Make An Informed Decision
That I Shall His Servant Be!

Present Future Knowledge Of My Lord Christ
Is A Great Necessity
IF Against The Hell-Bound Rangers
I Shall Stand Firm In The Faith Of Christ Jesus
AND
Sure Damnation Flee!

I, Of My Free Will

Have Accepted

The Lord Christ!

I Am Now Walking On The Narrow Way ...

My Lord Christ Has Made Provision
For Me To Be Cheered Along Life's Way
AND
There Is A Company Of Witnesses In His Living Word
From Which I May Freely Draw Insight
AND
Gain Understanding
On How To Avoid The Satanic Collision!

By These True-Hearted Witnesses I Am Encouraged ...

Life ... Without End!

I Am Blessed!

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord Of Life,

My Only God

I Extend My Hand

To Accept Your Stretched Forth Hand

Beckoning To Me

A Wretch

A Fallen Man!

I Accept Your Offer Of Salvation

I Accept Your Mercy

Your Free-To-All Grace

And

I Accept Willingly

My Daily Share Of

The Holy Christ's Living Faith!

I Confess My Known Sin!

I Repent Of My Past Known-Wicked Deeds!

I Deny The Liar

And

I Reject His Offer Of Sin As Living-Life Speed!

Father,

I Acknowledge Your Dominion

Your Sovereign Will

Your Will For My Life!

Please ... Help Me In You To Be Still!

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me!

Help Me To Let The Holy Angels

Influence Me For Good

And

Help Me, My Father

To Prepare For Rain

So That The Decimating Flood

May Surely Be Withstood!

I Am But A Child, Lord!

Correct Me!

I Am But A Servant, Lord!

Direct Me!

Oh, Lord

Help To Live Right In Your Sight

So That

In The Hour Of My Trial

The Lord Christ

Shall Plead His Innocent Blood For Me

And

Against My Guilty Stain! 

Help Me Never The Holy Name To Profane!

Father, 

Time Is Getting Short

And

Satan Is Raging! 

The Young Limes Are Falling Off The Tree

And

Wickedness Is Her Tambourine Shaking!

Lord, 

In The Name Of Jesus

I Beseech You

Protect Your People Against

The Wicked One

Who Wills To Be Lord Of The Earth! 

Protect Your People Through The Strife

That Will Have Us Walking

On The Sharpened Edge

Of

The Butcher's Knife - You Promised!

Protect Our Minds

And

Seal Us - You Promised

And

Bless Us To Stand Victorious Though We Die

For We Know

And

Believe The Living Word

That Heaven At The Last 

Is Not 

Cannot 

Won't Be A Lie!

At Any Personal Cost To Us

Heaven Is Still Free - No Fee!

Grant Unto Us, Gracious Lord 

Strength For Our Journey To Sure Salvation

Courage To Walk The Way Of Faith

And

Bless Us With The Beauty Of Holiness

So That We Do Not Bring Disgrace

To Our God Eternal

Who Gives Us Of His Blessed Love

And

Dear Grace!

Help Us To Trust You

Where We Can't Trace You

Is Our Heart's Great Plea!

We Love You, Lord

And

We Ask These Few Blessings

Again And Always

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Come Soon! 

AMEN.

CONFIDENCE: Not By Man's Might!

I Know What I Was!
AND
I Know What I Am!
I Know Not What I Shall Be
BUT
I Know That I Shall Be Like
The Captain
Of The Ship Of State
That Is Docked
In The Land Where
There Is The Tideless Sea!

I Walk By Faith!
I Don't Trust My Eyesight
For I Follow The Master
Whose Word Says
All Is Done By His Spirit
AND
Not By Power
Nor By Manly Might!

I Am Learning!
I Am Leaning!
I Am Trusting!
AND
I Am Praying
That The Lord
Will Help Me Ever To Be Obedient
To Do What He Says
AND
I Am Looking
Longingly
Toward The Land Where
Flesh Does Not Decay!

I Hear The Still Voice Of The Holy Spirit!
AND
I Hear The Clamoring Voice
Of The One Damned Who Will The Soul
Cause To Disobey
AND
I Pray That The God Of Heaven
Will Tune My Ears To Follow The Direction
That Leads To The Solid Rock
Whereupon My Faith In Jesus Christ
Shall Securely Stand!

I See Good!
I See Bad!
AND
I Pray That The Lord
Will Help Me To Choose To Do The Good
So That I Shall Be Able To
In The Day Of Final Award
Sing A Joyful Hallelujah
Before The Conquering King
The Then Returned
Holy Son Of Man!

I Live In Hope
Blessed Of Dear Grace
AND
I Believe
- With Confidence -
That Jesus Christ
Has Prepared For Me
- In His Father's House -
An Eternal Resting Place
Where Glorying In Jesus
Finds Fullest Expression
Not Devil-inspired Disgrace!

Friend,
I Desire That You Know
That Jesus Christ IS Soon Returning
AND
We All Should Give
Running To Sin
The Old Heave Ho!
It Will Not Be Easy!
It Shall Indeed Be Hard
BUT
The God Who Says To Do It
Has Given Unto All
A Measure Of The Faith
Of Jesus Christ
Who Walks With All
Who Would In Peace See
His Kingly
Gloriously
Shining Face!
What A Blessed Relief That Will Be!

The Spirit Of The Lord
Abides
AND
Guides
AND
Chides!
The Spirit Also Comforts
All Who Would
Their Eternal Destiny
In Jesus Christ
Commit And Confide!
Ask God For His Holy Spirit!

Pray  ... Without Ceasing!
Trust God  ... We Shall Soon Be Earth Leaving!
AND
Trust Not  ... In Your Own Understanding For
THEN
Satan - BY GOD'S GRACE -
Won't You Ever Be Deceiving!

Holiness Is Unto The Lord!
