VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Your Love Is Showing, Lord!


Mark 13:33 Take you heed, watch and pray: for you know not when ...



Father, 
You Have Cautioned Us 
To Take Heed That No One Deceive Us
And To Take Heed To Watch And Pray! 
Your Love Is Showing: Thank You, Lord! 

Please Grant Us The Grace That 
Will Cause Us To Be Humble
Vigilant And Enduringly Faithful 
To Live For Christ Jesus
To Let The Holy Spirit Guide And Chide Us
And Our Souls Constantly Feed! 

Help Us To Only Go  
Where The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Will Protect Us!
Please Help Us To Permit Their Good Influence 
To Keep Us On The Side Of The Good And Right! 

Please Also Grant The Grace Which Will See Us 
Accepting Your Truth 
According To The Preserved Word 
No Matter Who Is Saying It
And Help Us To Detect 
And Reject 
Lies, Error, And Practiced Deceit 
No Matter Who Is Delivering The Same 
Because We Know You And The Living Word 
Personally And Intimately! 

Please Help Us To Do Right 
Because It Is Right 
And To Love Truth Because It Is You
And You Always Save! 

Please Help Us To Keep Away From Idols 
And Get Rid Of The Idols In Our Lives, Lord
No Matter How So-Called Valuable, Convenient
Personal Or Profitable 
Their Ownership And Association May Be! 

Please Cleanse Our Tongues
Unstop Our Ears 
And Heal Our Eyes 
And Bless Us 
In Jesus' Matchless Name We Humbly Pray! 
AMEN!!! 

Heed The Holy Word
Of
Almighty God
Not The Lying Word
Of
The False Gods Of This Dying World!
Fear The Living God
Not The Man Who Needs
The Life-Giving God
To Be Able To Say That He Is Alive!

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

The Word Of Almighty God
Is
Our Comfort And Shield
And
Our Sword And Our Bed:
It Is The Truth Unchangeable!

Our Creator Cries With Compassion For Us

Brethren,

It Is Time For Us To Think For Ourselves
And
To Think ... Committedly
Upon Our Lord Jesus Christ
The King Of Glory!

When We Look At The History Of The Nations
From All Recorded Times
The Gods That They Served
- Every One That Was Not The Creator Of The Universe -
Were Cruel, Vindictive, Sadistic, Bloodthirsty
Always Desiring A Gift
Always Wanted To Be Served
Always Hurt Their Subjects
And
Never Showed Love Or Compassion!
Their Gods Used And Abused Them Just For Fun!

Strange Thing, Though
None Of Those Gods Was Real
But
The Damage That They Inflicted Was And Is, Still
Mind-Boggling Evil!

Come On, Wattsie!
Why Don't You Just Call A Spade A Spade!
The Gods They Served Were Demons!
The Idols Were Just Masks!

That's True 
Because 
Wood, Stone, Gold, Silver
Bronze, Jade, Ivory
Marble, Precious Stones
And 
The Modern Plastics
All Have Eyes, Ears, Noses
Hands And Feet
And 
Are Utterly Useless ... Good For Nothing
So We Know That Satan Is Behind Them!

Our God Known Holy Is Not So!
Our God Gives!
Our God Loves!
Our God Shares!
Our God Cares!
Our God ... Our Jesus ... Feels!





Next To John 3:16's 
"For God So Loved The World That 
He Gave His Only Begotten Son ...!" 
Is 
The Declaration: 
"Jesus Wept!" 
Which, Together
Make Up The Two Most Amazing Statements Of 
Love And Hope
Grace And Mercy
Comfort And Blessing
Power And Possession
Passion And Compassion 
Ever Delivered To Mankind! 

We Who Believe The Living Word 
Should Bow Our Heads In Humility 
And 
Lift Our Hearts To The Throne Of Grace 
With Gratitude For The Knowledge That 
Our Jesus ... Our Creator
Our Redeemer, Sustainer, Provider
Lord, God
Master, Friend
Hope, Help 
And
Salvation 
Feels Deeply What We Feel When We Feel It
And 
Condescends ... Lowers Himself ... As King Of Glory
To Show To All Who Behold Him ... In Faith 
That His Heart ... His Love
Is 
Towards Us Collectively
Individually
And
Personally! 

Beloved Child Of The Eternal God, 

Jesus Weeps For You
And Over You
And With You! 
Won't You Weep For Yourself 
And 
Bless Yourself By Taking Your Burdens To The Lord 
And 
Weep Upon Him!?! 

Tears Are A Language That God, The Living God, Understands! 

Remember: 

All Who Sow In Tears Shall Surely Reap In Joy! 

Whatever You Give To Jesus Comes Back As A Blessing 
So Please Ask Jesus To Wash Your Eyes With His Tears 
So That You Will See Him Clearly ... Today 
To Trust Him Totally Forever 
And 
Always ... In All Ways! 
Believe It: You Are Greatly Loved! 
I Bid Us All Peace!

Idle Minds, Idols ... Idolatry: Faith, Truth And Trust!


Idle Minds And Idle Thoughts
Are The Devil's Workshop!

Surrounded By Sickness And Suffering
Living In A World Of Temptation And Sin
Walking Toward Hill Zion
Dogged By Devils
- Some Bold And Some In Hiding -
Is 
The Lot Of The One Sinner Repentant 
Seeking, Finding, Following, Obeying
The One Who Saves, Heals, Reveals And Seals!

Jesus Christ Says Plainly:

Seek Me Diligently
And Assuredly
It Is Me That You Find!


Knock On My Door Boldly

And
You Shall Be Invited Inside!


Ask For Your Needs

According To The Word
My Will For Your Life 
And
You Shall Surely Receive
For I Am The Giver! 

I Am The Living Word!


I Also Give Unto You
Eternal Life

But
Know This My Children

For I Make It Plain
Doubt, Disbelief, Idolatry
Will Cause You To Receive From Me
No Profit ... No Gain
For These Are Millstone Out Of Place
And
Around You Neck
Dragging You Down To Perdition
Where Destruction Is All
All That You Shall Expect To Receive
When You Do Not My Living Word Believe!


Doubt Is Sin! 

Doubt In The Holy God
Is Also A Form Of Idolatry 
Because
You, A Mere Mortal
Lift Up Yourself Above The Holy God!


Disbelief Is Sin! 

Disbelief Is Also Another Form Of Idolatry
For You, A Child Of The Dust
A Creation Of The Most Holy
Dares To Question The Ways
The Wisdom Of Your Creator
The Word Of The Self-Existent One
Who Says
"It Is Thus!"



To Do This, Beloved
Is To Forget

Who Is The One Who Is Almighty God
Who Is The One Who Inhabits Eternity
Who Is The One Who Keeps You Alive
Who Is The One, Alone
Who Causes You Physically, Spiritually
To Live Abundantly

And
In Perfect Peace To Thrive!




Brethren,
Idolatry Comes In Myriad Forms
And
Shows Itself In Varied Ways
And
Appears In Uncountable Places
And
The Lord Who Reigns Over All Creation
Hates It All!

Anything That Causes Us To Dwell On It
To The Exclusion Of The Living God Holy
Is
Idolatry
And
Is To Be Set Aside
Whether It Is Relationships
Houses, Lands, Toys, Money Or Associations!

There Can Only Be One God
- The Creator God Holy -
In Our Lives!

Split Allegiance 
Is 
Wholly Despised By The Lord

Idolatry Is An Abomination
And
All Who Practice Such
Shall Never Have Their Nomination
- Their Election ... Their Call - 
To Heaven Ratified!

Idolatry Is A Lie
From The Father Of Lies
Who Lies For A Living
To Ensure That Others Shall Join Him
When It Comes Time For Him 
To Forever Die 
For Distinctly Gross, Base, Lies
Which See Unrepentant Men ... Dying
Because
The Lord ... The Judge
- Mercy Set Aside -
Is Unforgiving!

Have Hope ...

Jesus Christ
Is
To Be First And Foremost In Our Affections
Or We Shall Perish 
As Did The Idol Worshipers Of Old!

There Is One God:
One God Giving
One God Truthful
One God Worth Trusting
One God Blessing
One God Forgiving
One God Who Is Our Hope, Help 
And Salvation 
One God Who Is Forever Living!

The Lord Always Provides For His People
And
We Need To Hold The Things Of This World 
With An Exceedingly Light Touch! 

Earth Is A Way-Station!
Idols Are Useless!
Almighty God Is King
And

Heaven Is Home!

Who Is YOUR God?



I Believe God!
I Believe In God!
I Love God!
I Trust God!
I Trust In God!
I Hope In God
BUT ...!

BUT What?!

The Problems ...!

What Problems?!

There Is Always A Problem ...!

Wait Up!
You Did Say You Believe In God,  Right?!

Yeaaahh ... But ...!

Stop!  Just Stop?!
...  And Think About What You Are Really Saying!

Okay!

NOW TELLTell  Me WHO IS Your GOD?

Tell Me How Big Is Your God!

Did Not Our Holy And Living God
The Creator
The Shepherd
The Provider
The Sustainer
Our Hope
Our Helper
Our Healer
Our Sealer
Our Savior
AND
Our Friend 
Say: ASK
Nothing Wavering
Because He Has Nothing For Those Who Doubt?

Yes ... .

Alright Then.

So, Who Is Your God?
Can Your God Do
OR
Does He Just Require YOU To Do Things To Prove That You Love Him?
OR
Has Your God Already Done All
To PROVE To You That YOU Can AND Should TRUST Him?

Our God Says If We Love Him
Keep His Commandments!

Yeah! 
Our Keeping 
Of All God's Commandments 
Means Obedience!

Which God Is Your God:

The One Who Loves You By Unalterable Action
OR
The God Who - By Outside Inputs - 
Goads You Into Unprofitable Reactions!?

Is Your God Holy? True? Real?

Is Your God The One
Whose Living Word Cannot Fail?

If Your God Is One
Who Can Be Caused To Fall
To Topple Over
AND
Who Can Be Set Up To Fail
AND
Not Deliver On His Own "Promises!"
You Need To Get Rid Of Him
AND
Get The God Eternal
Who Created Us All
Planet And All
Heaven And All!

I Hear That!

Father,

Free Me From Doubt!
Father, Free Me!
My Soul Is Crying Out!
Help Me To Trust You
Totally
And 
To Believe
That My Requests
Asked Not Amiss
I Shall
By Faith Receive!
Amen.


My God Is REAL ...!



AND ...?

... So Is My Faith!

God Has Got Me Covered!!

AMEN!!
