VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: It's All In Your Name!




Your Name Identifies You
Speaks To Your Reputation
And 
Announces Your Character! 

Does Your Name ... Right Now
Announce To Friends, Family, Foes
And 
The Fraternity Of The Faithless Fiend That 
You Are A Committed Member Of The Household Of Faith 
Or
Does It Say That 
You Have Itching Ears 
And That 
You Are One Who Follows Every Wind Of Doctrine 
And 
Is An Explorer Ever Seeking After Something New,
Spectacular ... And Sense-Tingling!?! 

Beloved, 

Your Name Means Everything To The Lord Jesus 
As Shown In The Letter To The Church At Sardis In Revelation 3:4  
Where He Says That There Were A Few Names 
Who Had Not Defiled Their Garments! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Names ... As Christ's Followers 
Should Distinctly Set Us Apart 
From Those Amongst Whom We Dwell 
Or With Whom We Associate! 

There Is The Great Day Coming 
When We Shall See Our Lord As He Is 
Because 
We Shall Be Like Him! 

We Are Called To Be Perfect 
Even As Our Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 

We Are To Be Developing The Character Of Christ Now 
By Letting The Holy Spirit Lead, Teach, Feed
Correct, Direct, Protect
And 
Use Us In Almighty God's Service! 

Please Deny The Liar Who Offers License 
And
Accept The Lord Who Gives Everlasting Life! 

Live Now As Though You Are Going To Be Living 
In Heavenly Light Later! 

Please Polish Your Name Here 
So That You Will Receive The New Name 
On The Peaceful Shore! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Are You Living A 3-D Life!?!





 









Is The Sense, The Spirit, Of Entitlement 
Causing You To Live A 3-D Life!?! 

Is Your Life Such That 
There Is Disrespect Because Of Dishonesty 
Which Is Leading, Or Has Led, To Disappointment In A Relationship!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

Entitlement Is To A Christian 
What Faith Is To A Humanist: 
It Does Not Belong
Doesn't Work
And 
Doesn't Profit Aka Doesn't Bless! 

We Cannot Disappoint 
The All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory 
But
We Can And Do Disappoint Our Fellow-Man 
Whom We Are Called To Love As We Love Ourselves 
By The Holy God Whom We Say That We Joyfully Serve! 

Dear Ones, 

Any Indulged Behavior That 
The Lord Jesus Cannot, Will Not, Bless 
Is 
Dishonest 
And
By Extension 
Is 
Disrespectful! 

Dishonesty Disrespects 
And
Disrespect Disappoints! 

In The Household Of Faith
We Have Free-Will, Choice, And Chance! 

Let Us Be Wise 
And 
Choose To Do Right Always 
Because 
It Is Good And Right 
And 
Our Lord Commands It! 

Let Us Live As Though We Truly Love 
And 
Serve And Worship The Living God 
And 
Not The Thing That Causes Jealousy Aka Idols
Even Our Own Self! 

Be Humble
Be Gracious
And 
Be Blessed! 

Peace!

Being With Jesus Christ The Lord ... All The Way ... Every Day!











When We Realize That Our Desire 
Is 
To Be With Our Lord Jesus Christ
We Should, Effectively, Have The Overwhelming Need 
To Change Everything About Our Then Present Lives! 

Beloved, 

When The Leaders Of The Temple 
Had  Conflict With The Disciples
They Observed The Change In Them
And 
Made Note That They Had Been With Jesus  ... The Messiah! 

Judas And The Rich Young Ruler 
Are Two Persons Who Had Been Near To The Lord 
But 
Were Left Unmoved And Unchanged 
Because 
They Wanted Things Changed To Please Them
Including The Lord Jesus! 

Dear Ones, 

The Popular "Fake It Till You Make It!" 
Will Never Work In The Life Of One 
Who Is With Jesus ... All The Way! 

We Will Make Mistakes 
But
We Have An Advocate With Our Father To Intercede For Us 
Because 
He Is For Us! 

Pretending Christians Are Avowed Sinners 
As There Can Be No Fakery In The Family Called Faithful! 

Pretense, Fakery, Deceit, And Deviltry 
Are All In The Realm Of Satan! 

Truth, Right,  Holiness, And Helpfulness 
Are In The Realm Of The Holy One! 

We Don't Change Dirty Clothing, Sin
By Putting Clean Clothing, Salvation, Over The Dirty! 

We Change By Getting Rid Of The Dirty Clothing
Washing Ourselves In The Word Of Truth
And 
Donning The Garment Of Righteousness 
Which The Lord Himself Provides! 

Let Us Dare And Truly Identify With Christ Today 
In Thought, Word, And Deed: 
Physical Change Is Going To Come ... Soon! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Hating Sin Is Profitable!











Million Dollar Question:
Would You Actively, Maliciously
Continuously Hurt Someone You Love 
To Get At Someone You Hate!?! 

Do You Hate Anyone Enough 
To Trespass On Satan's Enchanted Ground
Utilizing Forbidden Means
To Achieve A Tasteless Pleasure 
To Give Yourself A Reason To Keep On Living!?! 

Beloved, 

Cain Killed His Brother, Abel, Without A Cause! 
Joseph's Brothers Sold Him Into Slavery! 
King Saul Repeatedly Tried To Kill His Son-In-Law, David
And 
Ended Up Visiting A Witch ... A Cheap Tool Of Satan
To Get Advice From The  Known-Dead 
To Help The One Willfully Living In Known Sin! 

Cain Was Cursed, Marked, Exiled
An Outcast From The Household Of Faith
An Adversary Of The Lord! 

Joseph's Brothers 
Unconscionably Hurt Their Old Father With Their Lies
And 
Committed Murder ... And More

And

Their Character Flaws 
Are The Very Ones Which We Must Overcome
Which Then Determines 
Which Pearl Gate We, As Overcomers ... Individually
Will Go Through To Enter The City Of God! 

King Saul's Death Sentence 
Was Pronounced In His Hearing 
By An Unclean Spirit Masquerading 
As The Prophet Samuel "Raised" From The Dead! 

Hatred 
Is 
A Kin To Murder 
And 
It Hurts The Hater More Than The One Hated: 
Is Indulging Unprofitable Hatred Of Others 
Worth Excluding Yourself From Jesus Christ's Eternal Life!?! 

Hating Sin Is Profitable! 
Think About It! 
Peace!

THE GOLDEN RULE: The Requirement For The Righteous!








It Is Not Hard! 
If You're Living, Be Loving! 
If You're Caring, Be Kind! 
If You're Friendly, Be Faithful! 
If You're Giving, Be Forgiving! 
If You're True, Be Truthful! 
Don't Add Nor Subtract! 

Beloved, 

The Golden Rule Is Not A Rule For Fools: 
It's A Calling For Christians! 
It's A Requirement For The Righteous!
 
We, Of The Household Of Faith, Desire 
The Goodness Of The Lord To Attend Us 
As We Make The Pilgrim's Journey 
But 
This Desire Will Not Be Attained 
If 
We Walk Like Side-Winding Snakes! 

Straight Strait 
Is 
The Way That Is Narrow And Neat 
And 
All Who Will To See Jesus Christ In Peace 
Must
In The Journey To Life Eternal
Your Sinful-Self Roundly Defeat! 

A Two-Faced Man Will Never Go Forward Nor Walk Upward 
And 
A Double-Minded Man Will Never Stand Firmly In The Faith 
When Doubt Is Whistling Dixie 
Wearing A Tin-Foil Hat 
After Downing A Spiritous Libation Cut Neat! 

Clear Minds Think Straight 
So Be Wise
Be Wary
Be Faithful ... And Not Contrary
And 
Stubbornly Do To Others 
What You ... Bright-Eyed And Bushy-Tailed
Want To Have Deliberately Done Unto You! 

Love Others As You Love Yourself In The Lord! 
Look To And Live For Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

Mercy, Grace ... And Faith!

 






How Are You!?! 

If You ... A Blessed Child Of The Eternal God
Are Struggling Even As You Are Praying 
And 
Believing The Lord Jesus At His Holy Word
Can You Imagine The Tumble Of Emotions Being Experienced 
By Those Who Know Not The Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

The Children Of The Household Of Faith 
Have A Sure And Secure Anchor For Their Souls 
No Matter What They Are Feeling 
What They Are Going Through
And 
Where They Are Placed On The Plate Of Good-Eats 
For Unfeeling Predators! 

Faith In Jesus Christ
Unlocks Unseen, Unexpected, Doors! 

Faith Is The Unbreakable Rod In The Spine Of 
The Child Relying On Jesus Christ For Relief! 

Faith Is The Scissors That 
Helps The Believer Cut Ties 
With The Dominion Of Darkness! 

Faith ... Working Faith
Is 
The Pair Of Wings That Bears Us Believers Aloft 
When There Is Not A Smidgen Of Wind 
To Lift Up Even A Strand Of Hair! 

Faith ... The Gift Given Each Day For That Day's Use
Is 
The Partner With Prayer 
Which Makes All Of Our Impossibilities Possible 
Because 
We Have Received Them As Unfailing Blessings 
From Our Maker, God, And Kind King! 

Almighty God's Gifts 
Grow Grandly Because Of Grace Graciously Given To Us: 
Use 'em Or Lose 'em! 

Refuse Grace 
And 
Be Refused Mercy! 

Willingly Work Faith And Prayer 
And 
Be Wonderfully Wise And Wealthy! 

Peace!

Almighty God's Mercy
Towards
His Children
Is
Immensely Great
And
It Is Totally Free!

Are You Saying That You Never Had A Glass!?!






The Great God Of Grace And Glory 
Has Boldly Gifted 
And 
Blessed Us With His Peace 
And 
Covered Us With His Plain Words Of Love, Care 
And 
Caution: 
How Do You Respond To Disappointments, Challenges
Set-Backs, Set-Ups
Sorrows
And 
Shame!?! 

Do You Stop To Evaluate The Situation 
And 
Pray For Peace And Power To Press On 
Or
Do You Lash Out Angrily, Aggressively
Arrogantly, Hostilely And Hatefully 
Or
Do You Say That The World Never Liked You 
And 
Head For The Nearest Exit 
Or 
Do You Suck On Your Thumb
Rock Yourself To Sleep
Say That You Never Had A Glass 
Or Ever Get Anything To Put In A Glass
And 
Try To Kill The Messengers 
Who Are The Lord's Workmen!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe
And 
Trust The Lord Of Life
And 
Obey The Word Of The Holy God 
- Who Loves Us Sacrificially -
Know That We Do Not Walk Alone
And 
Understand That We Have For Our Help 
The God Who Knows All Things
 And
Does What's Best For His Dear Children! 

Please ... 

Let Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Remember Whose Children We Are
Glory In The Fact That He Overcame 
So That We Can Overcome All Things In His Name
And 
Never Forget That Our Home 
- In His Father's House Of Peace And Joy - 
Is 
Just Over The Hill-Top!

Truth ... The Truth ... Cannot Fail Us
So Let Us Rejoice Greatly That
Soon Coming
 Is
Our Promised Relief! 

Hold On To The Blessed Hope: 
Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace! 
Pray For Peace!

JUST A LIL' REMINDER: "... In The Presence Of My Enemies!"



Bible Verses About Oil - King James Version (KJV)



Prophets, Priests And Kings Are Anointed With Oil 
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Are Anointed By The Holy Spirit 
And 
All Of Us Are Set Apart For Use ... Holy Use! 

Please Let Us Consider The Blessing Which Attends Us: 
The Lord Of Life, Earth And Glory 
"Daring" To Show Us 
In The Very Presence Of Our Known-Rabid Enemies
- On A Table - It Ain't Going To Be Small
All The Good And Perfect Gifts That He, Himself
Is 
Spreading Out For His Children Who Dare, No
Who Delight In Loving 
And 
Leaning On Him
And 
Learning From 
And 
Obeying His Holy Word! 

Beloved, 

In The Day When Circumstance 
Is 
Being Unkind ... Even Cruel
Please Remember That Your Cup Of Heavenly Blessings 
Is 
Overflowing Even When You Can't Physically See It
Or The Dear One Who Is Filling It!

Consider This ...

The Promise Of Blessing 
Was Purchased For Us 
And 
Is Sealed With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood: 
Believe The Word
Live The Holy Life 
And 
Prosper! 

The Lord Christ
Has Done
And
Is Doing
All The Heavy Lifting:
All We Have To Do
Is
Accept The Offer
And
Accede To The Will Of Almighty God!!

Just A Lil' Reminder ...

Please Remember That 
Working Faith Causes Our God To Show Up: 
His Blessing Cupboard Can't Be Cleaned Out 
And 
Your Cup Of Blessing Can't Run Out! 

Be Faithful! 
Be Prayerful! 
Be Thankful!
Be Obedient And ... Be Blessed! 


Be At Peace
With
And
In
The Eternal God!!

HAPPY SABBATH: Enemies, Endurance, And The Patience Process For Everlasting Peace


Happy Sabbath | "The Lord is my Shepherd"


Sanctification
Is
A Patience Process 
The Work Done In One's Entire Life Time!
It Is Not A Giddy-Up Horsie!
It Is Day By Day
Moment By Moment
One Studied, Steady, Step At A Time!

Do Not Let Your Walk To Mount Zion Be Interrupted 
By All The Race Horses Giddily Zipping By!
You Are Walking In The Defined Steps Of Your Good Master
Whom You Intend To Meet ... Peacefully
In The Great And Glorious By And By!

The Battle
Is 
Not For The Swift Of Foot
Nor Is The Prize Given To Him Who Is Known Strong!
The Battle 
Is 
Won By The Faithful
The Good By God's Grace
The Enduring Servant Who
- As A Faithful Steward -
Is
Conscientiously, Confidently, Humbly, Obedient
Whether He Is Watched
Or Is Working To Give A Report
At The End Of His Day
The One Who Watches, Walks
And 
Works Wisely
The One Who Seeks Never
To His Master's Great Name
To Bring The Tarnish Of
Willful Sin's Besmirching Disgrace!

Watching ... Waiting
Working ... Walking
Willing Wise
No Lover Of Lies!
This Is The Servant Who Arrives Safely At The Gate
Because 
He Has Kept His Place
His Eye On The Prize
His Hand In The Hand
And
His Head Free From Lies
He Is The One Upon Whose Blessed Head
The Gold Crown Of Jesus Christ's Glory 
Shall
       Fitted To Perfection
                                     Eternally Lie!
He Did Not The Will Of His Father
Ever, Ever, Defy Or Deny! 



Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in ...



Brethren,

In This Age Where The "Illuminated" Response 
To Every Good Gift Of The Living, Holy, God 
Is 
Anti-God 
And 
Alternative To Known Goodness 
And 
The Promised Blessings
We Of The Household Of Faith Need To Stand Up 
And
Be Counted By Our Continuing Cooperation With Christ 
If 
It Is Our Heart's Desire 
To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Going Along With The Ways Of The World 
To Get-Along With The World 
For A Known-Temporary "Peaceful Existence" 
Makes One A Compromised Soul 
And
The Enemy Of Almighty God! 

Now, Just In Case You Don't Know 
How That Will End
Remember That Lucifer
The Most Glorious Of The Heavenly Angels
Became The Enemy Of God: 
His Choice Couldn't, And Didn't, Work Out 
And 
His New Name ... Satan
Marks Him As Adversary, Evil
Condemned 
And 
Damned ... For All Eternity! 

Please Choose Your Final Destination Wisely!
Please Choose Jesus Christ The Righteous One
And 
His Ever-Living, Always Loving, Goodness
And 
Eternal Life 
For The Truly Peaceful Existence! 
Please Trust The Living, Eternal, Holy God ... Of Grace
And 
With Deliberation
Pray ... And Obey ... Always!

In This World
We Shall Have Tribulation
But
Be Of Courage:
Jesus Christ Overcame The World
So That By His Example
We May Overcome The World, Too! 

Our Father Does, Indeed, Know Best!
Of All Known Sin ... Cultivated And Inherited
See To It That You Humbly Confess And Repent!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Church Has Leprosy!?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Choose ... You!

One Bright Day
In The Sight Of All
Miriam, Dear, Dear, Miriam
Broke Out In ... Gasp!
SPOTS!

S peaking Jealously And
P ridefully And In Direct
O position To Obvious
T ruth
S preads The Spores Of Sin!


Miriam Is A Godly Woman!
Woman Is ... Significantly 
A Church!
Miriam Is A Good Church
BUT
Good Church Got The Taint
Got Leprosy
AND
Good Woman Got Knocked Off Her Perch!

Leperous Woman Church

Is 
Shut Out
Shut Out Of The Congregation
The Camp Of God
Until Her Contagious Condition
Can Be Cured!


The Realm
Outside Of The Household Of Faith
Is Cold!
It Is The Place Of The Dying!
The Place Where Those
In Opposition To God's Truth
Are Bold!


The Leprosy
The Contagion
Affects All That It Touches
AND
Significantly
The Congregation Of God
The Church Of God
Cannot Grow
Grow In Grace
While Leprosy ... The Contagion Of Sin
Known Sin
Willful Sin
Is Welcomed
Practiced
Promulgated
By All Adherents Within!

Outside The Camp Of God
BUT YET
In The All-Knowing 
All-Seeing
Ever-Present God's Holy Sight
The Church
The Woman ... Falling ... Fallen
Felled By Sin
Can Be Set Apart
Counselled
Healed Back Into Communion
AFTER
In Willingness
Showing Brokenness
AND
Being Submissive To The High And Holy Power
She Admits Her Sin
Afflicts Her Soul
AND
Repents Of The Wrong-Doing
Casting Herself
On The Mercy Of The Eternal Faithful One God
Accepting The Just Chastisement
AND
Wills To Be As One Faithful Herself
Bowing Down And Worshiping
Praying Praising
Believing Loving Trusting
Working Watching And Waiting
Hopeful ... Of The Promised Restoration
AND
Looking For The Priest
The High Priest Of Our Profession
To Come And Pronounce Her Clean
AND
Restore Her To The Dominion!
What Peace!
What Glorious Peace
Compliments Of The Savior
The Living Holy God!

Know Ye Not That ...

Presumptuous Sin Is A Parasite
Which, Encouraged
Will Lead To Sure Death
Death 
As Ordained Once To All Man
AND
Death Designated Second
To Be Avoided At All Costs
By Choosing To Follow
The Ways
The Laws Of The Holy God
AND
Never The Lawlessness
The Wiles Of 
The Known Fraud!

Please Do Not Let Self
Sell You Polished Brass For Bright Gold!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
Wilderness
The Dominion Of Darkness
The Camp Of The Destroyer
The Place Of Serpents
Scorpions
Raptors
Scavengers
Bitter Water
Idolatry
Death
Destruction
Nothing Holy!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
The Camp Of The Lost Cause!



Got Leprosy?!
Are Scabs On The Body Showing?!
Call Christ Jesus
The Great Physician He
The One Holy
The One Only
Who Sacrificially Died
To Save Thee
On Mount Calvary!

Did You Know:

  • A Group Of Vultures Is A Committee!
  • A Flying Flock Of Vultures Is A Kettle!
  • Vultures Feeding On A Carcass Is A Wake!

Do The Math!

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

Satan And The Legion Of Doom
In Committee
Plot Your Demise
And
Encourage You To Sin
Placing You Squarely In A Kettle
Obviously Filled With Hot Water
Marinating Covert Overt Lies!

When You Are Being Severely Punished
- As Is To Be Expected -
For Your Own Sin
And
Probably Dying
And
In A Lost Condition
Eventually Dead
Those Beings That Soon Won't Be
Conduct A "Happy" Wake
Lauding You As Their Prize
For Having Fallen Into The Trap
Of
The Wily Fraud
And
God-Fake
Satan The Snake!

Wise Up, People!
Soul Salvation Is At Stake!
Get On The Gospel Train
AND
Avoid The Fire And Brimstone Lake!

Leave Satan And His Kind
To Their Scheduled Date
With The Burning Lake!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Desire Health!
I Desire Cure!
I Desire Your Blessing
And
To Receive
All That You Have For The Faithful!
All That You Have In Heaven's Store!

Lord,
I Humble Myself Before You
I Bow, Now
So That I Will Not Break Later!
I Choose
- Of My Own Free Will -
To Obey You
And
To Live To You, True!

Forgive Me My Trespasses!
Forgive Me My Sin!
Bless Me With All Blessing
And
Correcting Me
When I Go Straying!

Bless Me To Do Your Will!
Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight!
Grant Unto Me Your Favor, Lord
The Grace That Will Give To Me Daily
Your Holy Light!

Remember Our Brethren
Those In Other Congregations
Other Families
Other Flocks
Those In Other Lands
Those Who Will To Know Christ
Those Who Find Your Love A Delight!

Lead Us, Lord
Into All Truth!
Grant Unto Us
Blessed Peace And Sweet Rest
Even Though In This Life
We Do Struggle
Even Though In A Crucible
We Take Sleep
And
Achieve That Which Is 
- To Carnal Man -
Not Dignified Rest!

You, Lord
Are Our Portion!
You, Lord
Are Our Hope!
You, Lord,
Are Our Sovereign
And
In Jesus Christ's Name
We Shall Our Lives
To You
Devote!

Hear Our Prayers, Lord
And
Have Mercy And Bless
For We Ask All
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.
