VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Temptation And Self-Deception!

Being Tempted Is Not Sin! 

Yielding To Temptation 

Is 

Sin! 

Think Carefully About This Difference! 

How Hungry Are You For Fame And Fortune!?! 

Would You Stoop Down Low 

To Hurt Someone You Dearly Love 

To Acquire Money, Power, Privilege, And Prestige!?! 

Would You Go As Far As Judas Iscariot!?! 

Would You Be So Self-Deceived As To Believe That 

You Could Twist The All-Knowing, Eternal, God's Hands 

To "Make" Him Do What You Want 

So That You Would Have 

Your Deceitful Heart's Rotten Desires!?! 

Beloved, 

A Barking Bird Is Not A Dog 

And 

Raising Up Your Own God 

Bearing The Name Self Or Other

Does Not Make You The Creator God!

Power Trips Fail

For

Lack Of Power!

Be Warned ... 

Be Not As The Betrayer 

Who Sold Thick Gold To Buy Thin Silver!

 

Please Do Not ... Under Any Circumstance 

Become Filled With The Sense That 

Being Close To Your Creator Makes You His Surrogate

- His Stand-In -

To Do As You Please! 

Self-Deception

Is

An Aphrodisiac!

The Truth Is That 

Temptations Are Normal 

Aka Common To Man

And

We ... Mortal Beings 

Are Called To Walk The Lonesome Road 

By Grace, Through Faith! 

We Are Not Alone! 

We Are Not Called 

To Build Castles In The Sand! 

We Are Called 

To Get Ourselves To The Rock Of Our Salvation

To Him Who Is The Way Home

The Truth That Points, Guides And Delivers Us Home

The Light That Clearly Shows The Path Of Righteousness

Our Shelter In The Times Of Storm! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Riches Rot! 

Power Poisons! 

Prestige Withers Away 

But

Jesus Christ Stands Eternal! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Do Not Confuse Living In A Rich House 

With Being In The Heavenly Home: 

Earth Is Not Heaven! 

Aggressively Guard Your Heart! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Stay On The Upward Way!

Peace! 

Live

For

Jesus Christ

Alone!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRIDE: Humble Yourself!

There Is Nothing More Silly To Behold Than 
Seeing A Person Who Obviously Needs Help From Almighty God

- Via The Hand Of Man - 

Pontificating That 
They Don't Need Help From Anybody ... At All

While Telling Others That 
They Are The Ones In Need Of Heavenly Help!

There Is None So Blind

As He Who Willfully Refuses

The Plain Truth To See! 

There Is The Savior 
The Redeemer
The Provider
The Forever-Friend ...

The Lord God Almighty Has Asked Us To Humbly Approach Him 

And 

Reason With Him

And 

Also Ask For What We Need! 

There's Always Something ...

The Problem Is That

Many Of Us Are Too Arrogant 

And 

Filled With Satanic Pride 

To Bow Before The Lord

To Ask For What We Need

To Hear What He Has To Say

And 

To Permit Him To Feed Us With Food That 

Is 

Good For Us 

According To Where We Are In Our Journey To Zion! 

Heads Up ... 

We Can't Learn When We Don't Listen

And

We Won't Learn When We Already Know Everything! 

Everybody Ought To Know ... 

Pride

- The Cause Of Lucifer's Fall - 

Is Now His ... As Satan ...

Most Used Weapon Of Mass Destruction 

For Picking Many Of Us Off The Path Of Purity

Productiveness

True Profit 

And 

Perfect Peace! 

Vrooom, Vroom ... 

Hearing 
Is 
An Automatic Car! 

Listening 
Is 
A Manual Car! 

Listen To The Lamb ... 

Walking In Disobedience 
Is 
Natural

But

Living In Obedience 
Is 
A Personal Choice! 

Beloved, 

To Hear The Lord Speak

We Need To Kill Pride

Humbly Acknowledge Our Need

Ask For Help

Close Our Mouths

And Then

Patiently Listen To Hear What The Lord Shall Say! 

When A Person Is Hungry

And

Food Is Made Available

They Eagerly Eat Until They Are Well Satisfied

So, Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Let Pride Cause You To Starve 
While You Are In Front Of A Plate Of Good Food 
From The Hand Of The Great God!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Peace With The Father Is Free! 

Naked And Ashamed

And

Cast Out Into Outer Darkness

Is

The Final Stop

For The Proud

And

The Unrepentant:

Don't Be Among Them!
