VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Hide And Buy!?!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

The Old Saw Says That You Can Hide And Buy Ground 

But 

You Cannot Hide And Reap It! 

Let's Ask Ourselves This Question: 

Since The Lord Jesus Did Not Hide 

To Buy Us Back From Death, The Grave

And 

Damnation And Hell

Why Would We Believe It Is Okay To "Serve" The Lord On The Down-Low 

And 

Live With The Great Expectation Of Receiving A Key To The Eternal Kingdom 

With The Public Acknowledgement!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Neither Had Nor Has Secret Prophets

Teachers, Healers, Preachers, Nor Servers! 

There Has Never Been Nor Will Ever Be 

Secret Saints Or Undercover Overcomers! 

Question Again: 

Why Would The Lord Ask His People To Be Very Courageous 

And 

To Be Strong In Him And In The Power Of His Might!?! 

Beloved, 

Nobody Needs Courage To Hide 

But 

Any And Everbody Needs Courage And Strength To Endure

To Stand Alone ... Exposed

In The Gleam Of Bright Light 

And 

Under The Venomous Stench Of The Hostile Glare

The Precursor Of Iniquitous Intent! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is The Great I AM! 

With Him Ever With Us And Always For Us

There Is No Need To Fear What Man Can Physically Do To Us! 

Let Us Bow Before Our Lord Jesus ... In Godly Fear 

In Awe Of Him Who Can And Will Give Us 

... Who Obediently Choose To Endure The Walk Through The Dark Valley ... 

The Blessing Of Entry Into His Marvelous Light 

With Bodies Like His Own! 

Brethren, 

We Shall See Him As He Is For We Will Be Like Him 

And 

Be A Part Of The Clan Called The Family Of God! 

So, Then, Dear Ones, Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And 

Lift Up Your Heads 

And 

Live Victorious Lives ... In Him And

For Him

For He Was And Is For You, For Me, For Us! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

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!

Spiritual Dwarfism!?!

Brethren,

I Am Ashamed To Confess That 

I, A Christian, Am Suffering From

I Am Afflicted By Spiritual Dwarfism

And 
So Are You All!

I Am Sorry To Tell You That 

Left Unchecked, Uncured

It Is 100% Fatal

And

We Are All In The Terminal Case Lounge!

Many Of Us Are Being Made Comfortable 

For The Final Gasp 
Through Palliative Aka Comfort Care

And 
Are Overdosing On Feel Good And Pain-Free!

Many Of Us Are Sworn And Determined

To Go Out With A Bang

To Go Down With Shooting Flames

Through Fulfilling Unprofitable Desires 

Cataloged On Publicized Bucket Lists

And

Many Others Don't Give A Rat's Well

And

Are Living As Though Tomorrow's Sun Must Rise For Them!

You've Stated Our Problem

So May I Take It That

You, A Pathfinder
A Friend And A Companion, An Explorer
A Ranger, A Guide
A Master Guide Even
Know Of, Or Has Access To, The Solution

The Cure ... The Therapy 

The Way Out ... The Way Forward

The Sure Way To Salvation ... Spiritual Growth In Grace

To Reposition Us Who Are Willing!?!

Renounce... And Represent!

I See You And I Heard The Words

But I Haven't Gained Anything ... Yet!

Would You Care To Unwrap The Package

And Open The Pot And Share The Goodies!

I Could Eat Something Good 

Right About Now! 

Alright, Then! 

People, We've Got Problems

And

The Word Of God Has All Of The Answers
So Let's Dig Deep Into That Little Verse

In Philippians 4:19!

We All Cheer Ourselves With This Verse 
So Let's Really Explore It! 

Think About It! 

My God: Because I, Personally, Know Him

Will Supply: Everything Is His And He Loves To Share

Your Need: Because You Have Them And He Is Able To Fill Them

According To His Riches: Since He Made Everything
Known, Unknown, Seen, Unseen
Unexpected, Unanticipated, Unrequested

In Glory: His Glory, His Dominion, His House Of Abode 

Where He, In His Abiding Love

And 

Available, Purchased-For-You Grace

Is 

Giving You Unmerited Favor ... With Free Mercy 

Because 

He Feels And Has Compassion For You

And 

Desires Your Personal, Spiritual, Prosperity! 

We Need To Renounce ... Along With Sin

Doubt And Ungodly Fear

And

Show To Our Observers, Detracters 

The Doubtful

The Disbelieving And The Unbelieving 
His Love And Care For Us

And

Represent ... Really Represent Our Lord

His Word ... His Character

Displaying Our Love And Obedience
And
The Saving The Faith We Declare That We Live By!

What's The Point Of

Calling People To Believe In

To Worship And Praise

The Lord Of Life

That You Don't Fully Trust

To Daily Provide

For Your Every Need!?! 

We Walk Around With Our Stomachs In

Our Bibles Out

Smiles Down

And

Frowns In The Air

And

Have The Gizzards, The Gumption 

The Unmitigated Gall To Say That

"We're Too Blessed To Be Stressed!"
And
"Too Wise To Be Worried!"

When We're Deathly Afraid To Breathe Too Deeply! 

So What!?! We're Humans! 

What We Are 

Is

Professed, Praticing

Regenerated Christians

Bound For Zion

Living By Faith

Trusting The Word

Commanded To Deny The Works Of The Flesh

To Don The Whole Armor Of God

To Not Have The Spirit Of Fear

To Approach Boldly The Throne Of Grace

To Wrestle With God 

To Demand A Blessing ...!?! 

Who Are We To Demand Anything From Almighty God!?! 

I'm So Glad You Asked That Question! 

We Are Confessed And Repentant Sinners

Children Greatly Beloved

Students Devotedly Diligent

Workers Trusted And Commissioned

Believers Enduring, Praying, And Blessed! 

The Lord Said To Ask  ... In Faith ... Nothing Wavering! 

He Said Seek ... As For Hidden Treasure! 

He Said Knock ... And The Door Shall Be Opened! 

I Get It! I Truly Get It!

A Knock Requesting Entry Cannot Be Timid! 

A Knock Is A Command! 

A Knock Is A Demand! 

A Humble, Heartfelt, Faith-Filled Prayer

Is

A Demand For Provision
Comfort, Care, Protection, Enlightenment And More! 

Jesus Christ Said To Pray ... Without Ceasing! 

If A Prayer Is A Knock

Unceasing Prayer Is Constant Knocking!

Bold Knocking Requires Attention!

Constant Knocking Demands An Answer!

Constant Knocking ... Constant Praying Gets His Attention

Because

Constant Praying Is A Demand

A Demand For Satisfaction ... For Relief

So We Must ...!

... We Must Demand That Our Needs

Be Satisfied ...!

... But That Only Works 
If 
The Heart Is Right With The Lord
Because

Otherwise ... Your Prayers Become An Abomination! 

I Feel Cheated! 

No One Ever Told Us This Before! 

Beloved, 

You Know Now

So Be Bold ... Be Humble

Be Pleased To Ask

And 

Be Blessed To Receive 

What The Lord Christ Has To Share! 

Let's Exercise Faith Today! 

The Lord Is Listening 

And 

Eagerly Waiting For Our Moves

Our Prayers

Our Demands Made Out Of Trust! 

Let's Make Our Petitions Right Now! 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

We Come Boldly

In Faith 

Trusting You At Your Word

Leaning On Your Strength

Urged On By Your Love

Holding Grace And Mercy! 

Pity Us And Help Us

To Pray More

To Commune More

And

To Commit To You Completely!

We Ask These Blessings

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN!

Brethren, 

We Have A Gift ... A SCOPE! 
It Is Both A Microscope 
And
A Telescope
And

We Can See ... If We So Desire:

Strength ... He Gives Us Strength Every Day

Courage ... Our Faith In Gives Us Courage

Opportunity ... We Are Mortal So We Take The Time To Connect With Him

Prayer ... Without Praying To Him We Are Dead Without Him

Endurance ... There's No Point To Running 
If 
We Do Not Plan For 
And 
Prepare To Reach The Expected End

At The ... Due ... Time Stipulated

And Thence

To Dance As King David Danced

In Holy Celebration 

For Overcoming ... Achieving ... Winning! 

Brethren, 

Spiritual Dwarfism 
Is 
A Curse ... A Disease ... A Plague ... To Be Cured!

All Who Inherit Eternity
Are Giants Of The Faith That Cannot Fail
And So
Endurance Born Of That Holy Faith Is Everything! 

Endurance Is Not Just A Word!

It Is A Schedule!

Run ... The Race To Win

Due ... Arrive According To Schedule

End ... With The Victory Song

Dance ... As One Forever Blessed Into Eternity! 

Let Us ... By Almighty God's Great Grace
Make Jesus Christ The Lord Our All And All! 
Glory Awaits The Overcomer!

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.
