PRAYER: Father, Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need!

 

Heavenly Father, 
We Come In Faith All Doubts Discarded! 

Please Help Us To Remember That 
We Are Your Greatly-Beloved Possession 
By Creation And By Sacrifice
And That We Have Been Purchased From The Last Enemy, Death
With Innocent Blood And Not Silver Or Gold! 

Please Help Us To See And Express Our Need 
For Jesus' Gift Of Salvation 
And, In Mercy
Please Grant To Each Of Us The Strength To Look Up
The Courage To Call Out
And The Opportunity To Confess And Repent Of Our Known Sin 
And Take Our Jesus For Our Everlasting Portion! 

Father, 
Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need
That Is Fit For The Age And Stage Of Our Journey To Hill Zion
And Continue To Bless Us 
With Your Daily Gift Of Faith That Cannot Fail
And Courage For The Journey That We Must Make 
To Reach Eternal Life! 

Please Help Us To Call Sin By Its Rightful Name 
And To Stop Making Concessions To It Or Excuses For It!
We Need Your Help, Lord
As Delivered Unto Us By That Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit That Leads Us Into All Truth!
Please Pity Us And Pour Out Of Your Spirit
For We Are Calling In Hope! 

Remember, Dear Father
The Physically, Mentally, Spiritually
And Emotionally Ill Amongst Us 
And Grant Sufficient Grace 
That Is Known Accessible And Available! 

Please Help Us 
To Be Kind To Ourselves And Each Other
And To Hold On To Our Blessed Hope 
For Our Jesus Is Surely Coming! 

May Our Love For You Grow 
As Your Love For Us Daily Shows Up And Pours Out!
We Love You And We Thank You For The Myriad Blessings
That We Moment By Moment Receive Of Your Holy Hand!

With Grateful Hearts In Known-Blessed Lives
We Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers
And With All Humility
We Ask That You Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
Jesus Christ The King
Your Only Begotten Son
Our Savior, Lord And God!
AMEN.

SANCTIFICATION: The Life-Long Work ... And Personal Lots Of Land

We Are Dearly Loved By Our Creator-God

And

All The Heavenly Intelligences

And

We Are Devilishly Hated By The Satan ... The Adversary

And

All Of His Fallen-Angel Demonic Force! 

We Need To Know With Whom It Is That We Cast Our Lot

Aka Gain Our Fortune! 

Indeed, Beloved!

Look No Further Than The Word Of Good King David

- Who Made His Calling And Election Sure -
To See How It Is Done! 
He Knew His God
And
He Made His Public Declaration!

The Day Is Soon Coming 
When We All Must Make Public Our Own Declaration
Stating Clearly That It Is With The Lord Christ That 
We Faithfully Choose To Stand Up
And
To Be Counted For His Living Kingdom!

Hear, Hear!
The Handwriting Is Already On "The Wall!"

Brethren,

When You Know Who Is Your Savior
You Will Surely Recognize Who Is Your Adversary!

Satan Is The Liar

The Thief

And 

The Destroyer-Murderer! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth,

The Provider

And 

The Life Giver-Sustainer! 

Let's Learn The Difference

And 

Act Accordingly! 

Please Remember This ... 

All Who Turn From Satan Unto The Lord 

With Humble Confession Of Sin

And 

With Repentance

Have Forgiveness For Sin 

And 

Cleansing From Unrighteousness! 

We Who Are Forgiven 
Have A Sure Inheritance In The Land Of The Blessed

A Lot ... A Personal Parcel Of Ground

As Is Promised To Those Who Are Sanctified

Aka Set Apart For The Lord's Holy Use! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Be Fooled! 
Don't Fool Yourself
And
Don't Let Anyone Fool You!

Sanctification 

Is 

A Life-Long Work

And 

Only Those Who Endure All Things For The Lord

Until The Day Of Death 

Or The Lord Christ Comes For His Children

Shall Possess The Land ... Their Inheritance! 

Talking About Being Sanctified 
Is 
Cheap And Easy

And 

Doesn't Cost Anything! 

Living In Obedience

And 

With Enduring Faith, However

Is 

Going To Be Expensive  ... Hard 

And 

Painful: Do Not Fear! 

Jesus Christ Belongs To Us
And
We Belong To Him!
Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Great Physician 

And

He Owns Everything In The Cosmos

So We've Got Means! 

Please Confidently Place Your Life In Jesus' Holy Hands

And 

Please Hold Out Your Cup For His Blessings 

By Exercising Your Daily Gift Of Faith! 

Please Choose To Believe The Word Of The Lord

And 

Confidently Choose To Trust The Lord's Sacrificial Love For You

And 

Dare To Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace Be Upon Us All
In The Holy Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ
As He Blesses Us All ... By His Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
As We Make Our Pilgrim Journey!

Let's Think About ... Home!

AMEN!!!

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER: Doing Wickedness!?!

... Enough Already!

If You Cannot Stand Up And Think
Then Down And Listen
And
Let's Put A Stop To This Nonsense Right Now!
We Are To Live Like Faithful Christians
So Let's Start Acting That Way!

A Wicked Character 
Is 
Nothing To Be Cherished ... Or Paraded Around 
As Though It Is A Badge Of Honor!

Doing Wicked Deeds Starts With A Thought 
Which Is Followed By The Act Which, Indulged
Leads To The Formation Of Character 
Which Ultimately Leads To One's Preferred
Chosen Destiny Aka Destination ... Hell! 

Wickedness 
Is 
An Abomination In The Sight Of God 
Because
Of Its Iniquitous, Its Planned, Origins
And 
Any Amongst Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Who Unrepentantly Raise That Serpent In Their Bosom
Is 
Personally Booking A Berth 
In The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire! 

Beloved, 

Let's Be Wise 
And 
Resist The Devil 
Because 
To Indulge In Doing Wickedness By His Temptations 
Makes Him Master And "God" 
And 
Leaves Us ... Jesus Christ's Purchased Property
Impervious To The Call Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who Is Calling Out To Us
To Lead Us Into The Truth ... The Saving Truth
That Will See Us Abiding With Lord Christ
Sharing His Great Glory
And
Having A Personal Place In The Father's House Of Light And Love!

Please Don't Be Deceived Into Thinking That
A Little Wickedness Ain't Never Hurt Nobody
Because
To Do So Will Be Willfully Countenancing 
A Gross Lie Of Our Bitter Adversary
That Raging Lion
That Piercing Serpent
That Lord Of The Dung Flies, Satan The Damned!

Brethren,

Please Understand That Indulging Wickedness 
Wastes The Work Done On Our Behalf On Calvary 
So Don't Cherish Thoughts That 
Will Lead You Into That Presumptuous Sin! 

Embrace The Living Word Known True And Faithful
And
By The Grace Of The Eternal God
- Father, Son And Holy Spirit -
Who Are Working All Now To Get Us Home Safely
Think Good Thoughts 
And 
Always Choose To Do Right

And 

Aggressively Prevent Satan 
From Putting His Benighted Ring In Your Nose: 
You Will Be Forever Blessed 
By The Lord's Free-To-All Mercy ... And Available Grace! 

One Day ... Soon
All Of The Wicked Will Cease Their Troubling
And
We Who Were Faithful Until Death
Or Until Christ Comes
Will Walk Upon Their Ashes
For They Will Be No More!

All I Know Is That I Don't Want To Be Amongst Them!

I Hear That!

Talk Is Cheap: Actions Speak Louder Than Words!
Don't Be Wicked!
Don't Indulge In Planned, Presumptuous, Sin!
Don't Follow Satan ... He Ain't Your Friend
And
You Won't Be Amongst Them!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Doing You!?! + PRAYER: Father, The Destroyer Is Amongst Us!

"Doing You!?!"

A Correction Is Required!
Doing You ... Doing The Dog 

Is

Denying The Omnipotence, Omniscience And

Omnipresence Of The Eternal Holy 
God! 

"Doing You!" 
Is 
No Cure For All Or Anything! 

"Doing You!" Leads You To Big Problems

Living Your Life As You See Fit

And 

Puts A Bulls Eye On Your Back

Which Marks You 
As Satan's Fully Acquired Marked-For-Death Target!
He, Most Assuredly, Is Going To Rabidly Attack!

No Christian Being The Salt Of The Earth

Shining Bright Light For Fallen Man To See

Will Employ The Urge To Indulge Self

And

Cause To Be Poured Out On His Own Head

The Living God's Against-Sin Enmity!

"Doing You!" 
Is 
Not Forward Looking

It Ain't Even Looking Back

It's Looking Side To Side 

To See Who Has What

To See How To Your Prideful Self

- Your Against-God Self -

"It" May Securely Be Attached! 

"Doing You!" 
Is 
A Ploy Of The Devil

To Get You Against Divinity To Stand

Opposed
And

By Your Self-Will To Test Out The Hot Coals 

Which Shall Be Your Mattress

When All Sinners' Probation

With Prejudice

Does With Finality Close!

"Doing You!"

Just Like 
"Doing What Thou Wilt!"

Puts You ... A False God
On The Throne Reserved For The Savior

And

Leaves The Lord Christ

On The Outside Looking In

But

With That There Is A Problem

Which The Unrepentant Sinner Cannot Overcome 

And

So He Is Left Contending With A Trophy 
For A Race He Has Lost

Though He Spectacularly Won!

Look In At Your Condition 

Look Up For The Saving-Grace Solution

Cast Off Your Dead Works Of Unrighteousness 

And

Put On Jesus Christ's Clean And White

Linen Robe Of Righteousness!

No Unclean Spirit

No Lover Of Self 
And 
The Demonic Devices

No Disobedient, Gainsaying, Soul

Shall Ever Inherit

The Lord Christ's Paradise

Or Shall Ever Receive 
The Victor-Over-Sin's Bright Crown Of Pure Gold!

Let's Confess Our Known Sin
And
Repent Of It Now ... Today
Or
We Shall Surely Hear
From The Glorious Majesty Of Heaven

"Depart From Me:

I Know You Not!"

Because

We Had No Personal Relationship With Him
And
Our Names From The Lamb's Book Of Life
Have Most Securely 
Been Forever Marked ... Blotted ... Out!

Today We Can Still Repent

To Our Father God

In The Name Of The Son

With The Aid Of

The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth!

While There Is Still Life 
There Is Still Hope For Cleansing
So Let Us Listen To The Psalmist
And
Then Raise Up To Heaven
The Unfeigned Prayer:

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

Hear Our Humble Prayer! 

You Are Our Only God 

And

You Have Invited Us

To Lay Our Every Burden Down 

Trusting You To Help Us

Knowing That You Are Able 

And

Will Do What Blesses Us Always! 

Father,

The Destroyer Is Amongst Us

And

I Beseech You

For Your Comfort, Aid, Healing Balm 

And

The Blessings Of

Your Sweet Peace And Rest That 

Comes Of Completely Trusting You! 

You Are Our Hope

Our Help

And 

Only Salvation: Pity Us And Save Us! 

Father, 

We Are An Arrogant, Gainsaying

Doubting, Disbelieving, Sinful People 

Who Have Offended Your Holiness

And

We Humbly Repent Of Our Sin Against You

The True And Eternal God 

And 

With Contrite Hearts On You Now Waiting

Convicted Of Sin

And

Convinced Of Righteousness

We Crave

We Sincerely Beg Your Forgiveness! 

Please Pardon Our Sin 

And

Cleanse Us Of All Unrighteousness

And

Bless Us To Praise Jesus Christ

And

Glorify Your Great And Holy Name! 

Please Heal Our Hurts

Our Health And Our Land!

We Beseech You For These Few Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name! 

We Love You, Lord! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN.

 

JESUS CHRIST SAVES: Negotiations!?!

I Have A Story To Tell To The Nation
Which
You May Probably Find Hard To Believe!
The Lord Of Life, The Creator
The Redeemer, The Friend
Wants You To Forever Keep His Company!

He Promises A Place In His Father's Kingdom!
He Promises Eternal Life!
He Promises A New Name
And
A Gold Crown
And
Pleasures Forever The Redeemed Soul Delight!

What's The Catch!?!

No Catch!
He Says To Give Up All That Hurts
That Condemns
That Destroys
And
Give Unto Him Your Soul
Your Allegiance
Your Will, Your Way
And
Hold Him In Godly Fear
By Giving Up Known Sin
And
Faithfully Following Him!
He Wants To Be Your Everything!
He Desires To Be Your All And All!

All!?!
That's Kinda Steep!
Can We Negotiate With Him!?!

What Have You Got With Which To Negotiate!?!

He Wants Me So I've Got Me As A Bargaining Chip!

Soooo, Tell Me How You Intend To Make The Split!?!

Well, It's Like This:

I'm Valuable Because He Wants My Soul For His Own!
I'm Willing To Work With Him But ...!?!

Problem, My Friend!
He Does Not Do Buts!
It's All Or None!

Then I'd Say That He's Kinda Greedy, Even Unfair!
I'm Mine So I Should Decide How Much Of Me
I Feel Like Giving To Even The One
Who Says That He Is God Divine!

Friend,
You May Want To Tread Softly On Your Position!
He Is God Divine!
He Has Your Life In His Hands
And, Yet
He Is Willing To Permit You 
To Give Your Life Back To Him
In Exchange For Him Taking Eternal Care Of You
Even If, In This Life, You Die!

Live For Him!
Live In Him!
Die In And For Him
And
Rise Up And Live Forevermore With Him!

All It Takes Is A Willingness To Commit
To Bend
To Believe
To ...!

... Totally Surrender!?!

Yes, Indeed!

I Don't Surrender To Anybody
Not Even My Husband!

Would You Like To Explain What You Mean By That!?!

Sure, I Would!
The Day I Got Married
I Gave My Husband My All
And I Kept 10% For Myself
Just In Case He Decided To Be
A Skirt-Chasing Hopping Ball
And So That I Would Not Go Mad
If He Did!
He Did ... And I'm Sane!

Ahem, Ahem!

You Know That You Are Mad, Right!?!

Could You Imagine What Would Have Happened
If You Had Gone All In!?!

Sweetie, Lack Of Commitment Destroys!
Just As In Your Marriage
Same In Your Relationship With The Eternal God!

The Lord Desires Your All
Because
He Has Given For Us His All!
He Held Nothing Back
And
He Is Asking Us To Accept The Great Salvation
At Infinite Price Already Purchased!

Take Your Own Relationship As A Guide
And
Choose To Realize That
With Lack Of Complete Commitment
The Love Relationship Always Dies!

Jesus Died That We Might Live
And
He's Asking Us To Believe Him At His Word
So That We May Inherit All That He Has To Give!

Alright!
I'm Willing To Give 99.99995% Of Me To Him!

Sorry!
He Desires All!

Okay!
So What Else Can He Give Me
To Liberate My Desire To Totally Surrender!?!

Nothing!
He Gave All!
He Gives All!
He Is Giving All
And
He Wants ...!

...Yes, Yes, I Heard You Before!
He Wants All
And All I Want Is To Have
To Hold
To Retain A Lil' Something That Is Mine
For Own Myself!

Wow, That's Bold!
Your Loss!

For The Record ...

Look, Let Me Give You The Bottom Line:

Jesus Christ Desires To Give You Everything Good!
He Holds Your Life In His Hand!
He Gave Unto You, Already, Free Will And Free Choice!
He Died To Give You His Eternal Life!
He Desires That You Return Your Life, Willingly, To Him
To Be In His Service
To Follow Where He Leads
And
He Makes It Plain To All Who Will Hear
What The Options Are:

• You're Either For Him Or Against Him!
• You Either Want To Live Forever Or Your Plan To Die Forever!
• You Either Choose To Submit Or Be A Rebel!

He Asks Politely For Your Cooperation With His Spirit!
He Could Force You To Submit
But
Thank God Almighty
He Never Will!

Where You Are, I Was
And
He Called Me!
I Answered
And
He Made His Life Or Death Submission:

Life With Him In Joy And Peace

In Eternal Bliss

** OR **

Life Without Him Which Is Life With Satan

And

The Spectre Of Sure And Eternal Damnation!

There Was No Hard Sell!
Just Straight Facts Ahead Of
The Deal's Consummation!
The Choice Was Mine!
The Choice, Now, Is Yours ... Alone
And
I Glad To Tell You That
Your One Good Bargaining Chip Is 

Father,

I Accept Your Good Gift!

Lead Me Because I Know You Love

And

Desire To Bless Me!

I Have No Desire To Live Without You

And

I Am Not Even Going To Try!

I Will Follow You Where You Lead!

I Will Go Where You Send!

I Will Worship You For You Are Worthy!

I Will Praise You For You Gave Me My Voice!

Lord, Fix Me

So That In The Coming Kingdom

In Your Holy Presence

I May Thankfully Rejoice!

Anything Less Is A Total Waste!

The Lord Will Give You His Sword ... His Word!
He'll Give You His Bow ... His Strength!
And
Best Of All
He'll Give You His Robe ... His Righteousness!

He's Giving You His Name ... His Character!
He's Giving You His Home ... His Kingdom!
He's Giving You Bread ... His Flesh!
He's Giving You Wine ... His Blood!
He's Giving You Oil And Water ... His Holy Spirit!
What More Can You Possibly Want!?!

I Surrender!
I Want Him ...!

... I Want His Life!

At Last!

We May Be Slow To The Dance
But With Understanding ...!

...We Sing The Acceptable Tune In Pitch-Perfect Tune!

Thank You, Jesus!

PRAYER : Father, I Bow My Heart Before You!

Father,
I Thank You For Mercy!
Father,
I Thank You For Grace!
Father,
I Look Forward With Gratitude
To Living With My Jesus In Perfect Peace
When, Finally, The Days Of Disgrace Are Forever Displaced!

I Have Much To Thank And Bless You For
And
The Truth Is That I Will Never Know The Sum!
I Have Been And Am Living Upon Your Bounty
Without Which Of That Precious Gift Called Life
I Most Assuredly Would Have None!

I Bow My Heart Before You
Even When I Can't Bend Me Knee!
Please Help Me Never Again To Pay You Lip Service
By The Uttering Of Vain Words Flowery!

I Desire The Heart To Heart Relationship With You!
I Desire The Life That Is Christ's!
I Desire The Outpouring
And
The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
So That Your Control Over Me
Can Never Be Doubted Nor Denied!

Bless Me, Dear Lord
To Speak The Truth
To Do The Right
To Live Right In The Righteous Son's Light
To Love My Fellow Man
As Jesus Christ Loves Us
And
Do All That You Say
Because Disobedience Costs
But
Obedience Always Pays!

Thank You For The Angel Guard!
Thank You For The Recording Angel
The Knowledge Of Whose Presence
I Pray
Will Always Cause Me
To Stop And Think About What I Do
Or Choose To Say! 

Father,
May The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Lead Me
Guide Me
Teach Me
Chide Me
Moment By Moment
Each And Every Day!
I Hold You In Godly Fear!!

I Have A Home In Glory Land
To Which I Am Travelling Even Now
And
I Am Relying On You, Father
To Help Get Me Safely There

And, So

Despite Disappointments

Denials
And
The Death Promised To Man
I Choose To Walk With Jesus Christ

By My Received Gift Of
Daily Grace And Daily Faith!

Help Me To Keep On In The Race!

Please Take Me By The Hand
And
Help Me In My Lot
- On The Day Appointed -
Triumphantly To Stand!

Thank You For Hearing
And
For Answering My Prayer
For I Ask All In The Dear Name Of
The Holy Jesus! 

Please Come Soon!

I Love You, Father!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: My Father Is God Almighty!

My Mother Is Not Called Nature!
My Father Is Not Called Time!
My Father Lives In Heaven, Above
And
He Is The Lord God Almighty
Blessing, Kind
Holy, Divine!

I Do Not Travel On Broadway!
Through Life, I Do Not Take Short Cuts!
By Faith, I Follow The Master
And
Through Obedience
I Do Not Gainsay His Word
By Indulging In What-If's, Maybe's And But's!

By Almighty God's Grace
I Am Pledged Not To Follow The Multitude
To Do Evil
And
Never Against My God To Confederate
Because
The Lord Is My Shepherd ... He Leads
And
By His Guidance
I Intend, By Right

To Walk Through The Assigned Pearl Gate!

I'm A Pilgrim!
I'm A Stranger!
This Earth Is Not My Home!
I'm Treading The Boards Here Of

 The Straight And Narrow Way
On My Way To My True And Heavenly Home

Which Cannot By Created Beings Be Cloned!

As I Walk With Firm And Steady Gait
On The Road To Beulah Land
I Am Doing All The Good I Can
To Bless My Fellow Man!

I Will Not Begrudge A Fellow A Morsel
Nor Ever A Cup Of Water Clean
Because 
He Who Is My Lord, God, Judge 
And 
Coming-For-Me King
Is 
Recording For All Posterity
All My Acts ... Good And Bad!
Everything!

I Believe The Word Of My God And My King!
I Believe His Promises
And
His Praises I Joyfully Sing!

I Trust Him In His Care For Me
Even As I See He Cares For Others
And
I Will To Go Wherever He Leads
For He Is The Almighty
The One True God ... Never False
Always Giving, Truly Blessing!
Like Him, There Is No Other!

The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
Is 
My Comfort!
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 

My Savior, My Redeemer, My Friend
My Hope Until Life Ends!
The Holy Angels Are My Influencers For Good
And My Constant Protection
And
With My Cooperation With Their Ready Aid
Satan, By Me, Is Withstood!

The Word Of My God
Is
My Strong Tower!
I Run To It And I Am Saved!
I Rest Upon It: It Is My Daily Food
And
I Can Tell You Truly, Friend
For The Faithful
The News Is, Indeed, And Most Assuredly, Good!

Wait, Work And Watch!
Believe And Receive!
Trust And Obey The Word Of The Living God
The Rock Of Ages
And
You Will Never Be Among
The Ones Called ... Deceived!

Take The Daily Grace!
Bathe In Free Mercy!
Confess And Repent Of Known Sin!
Accept Available Salvation!

Do Not Despise Almighty God's Ready Forgiveness!
Your Life 
Is 
In His Hand!
He Is The God Of All Creation!
Keep The Line Of Communication Open!

Remember That You Are A Fallen Human

And

It Is He, Alone

That Can Raise You Up By His Holy Hand!

Keep A Song In Your Heart

And

Be Constant, Instant, In Prayer!

Let This Be Your Pleasure
And 

Your Forever Treasure!
