VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wait On The Lord By His Word!

Neither Nobody 

Nor His Brother, Sister, Father, Friend

Want To Wait On Anybody For Anything 

Because 

Waiting Is For Saps, Stooges

The Unconnected

And 

The Financially Challenged! 

Okaaay! 

Beloved, 

Our Text Starts With A "But" 

Which Tells Us Clearly That 

Those Who Do Not Wait Upon The Lord

Shall Not Have Their Strength Renewed

Shall Not Acquire Eagle's Wings

Shall Not Be Able To Run 

Because 

They Will Be Weary

And 

Will Not Be Able To Walk 

Because 

They Are Fainting From Weakness! 

How Very Interesting! 

Dear Ones, 

Paying Someone To Do Your Waiting For You 

Does Not Hold Water 

In The Economy Of Almighty God! 

Waiting On The Lord Generates Patience

Enhances Endurance

And 

Solidifies Faith Which We, Each, Shall Surely Need 

If 

We Are To Enter ... By Right

The Eternal City Of The Great God 

Who Provides For His People 

Before 

The Need Is Expressed Or Experienced! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Remember That Waiting On The Lord 

Is 

Preparation 

Which Is The Key To Every Victory 

Worth Claiming And Celebrating! 

Be Wise 

And 

Wait On The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Wait On The Lord Jesus Christ

And 

Watch For His Coming! 

Watch For The Lord's Coming

And 

Work With Him For The Salvation Of Others! 

And

Please Work With The Lord Now 

Because 

Night Is Coming When No Man

Be They Connected

Financially Stable

Or Cash-Poor 

Can Drive A Stroke To Save His Own Life

Or The Life Of Another! 

Dare, Beloved, To Wait On Your Sure Blessings: 

Wait On Jesus Christ The Lord ... Yourself! 

Peace!

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Jesus Christ

Is

Our Only Savior

And

His Gift To Us

Of

His Sure Salvation 

Is 

Free

But

Will Only Benefit Those

Who Desire To Gain

The Victory Over Sin

By Obediently Travelling

The Way Of The Cross

With

Faithful Endurance

Via

The Path Of Purity! 

Love For The Lord

Starts And Finishes With Obedience

To His Holy Word

And

Walking In Accord With His Sovereign Will!

 

Time Is Made For Change + PRAYER: Lead Me Gently, Father!

Our Lives Are Authored By The Eternal God!
We Are Not "Accidents"
As Claims The God-Fraud
So Do Not Be Contemptuous
Of The Life That The Lord God Has Given To You:
Be Grateful For Your Blessing
Because
The King Of Love
Personally Loves 
And 
Personally Blesses You!

You Are Made In The Image Of Almighty God!
You Are No Experiment!
Neither Are You A Toy For His "Joy!"
You Are Well-Loved, Beloved!
You Are Wanted!
You Are Blessed!
The Lord God Your Creator
Took Your Place On Calvary!
Be A Dear: You're A Vessel Made For Honor
So Choose To Deny Sin
And
Known Sin Repent And Confess
Be To Our Savior
A Spiritual Success!

The God Who Made You Is Infinite!
Your Human Potential Is Finite
But
When You Walk With The Lord  
Your Potential Becomes Infinite:
He Calls You To Come Home!

Leave Off Sinning!

Have Faith In Him

Trust And Obey

And

Walk In His Light Today

And
You Shall See Heavenly Light ... In Peace
When Comes The Great And Awful Day!

When You Walk With the Lord
You Are Setting Yourself Up
To Have Durability
To Last For Eternity
So Choose You This Day
With Disobedient Goats Not To Roam
And
Decide ... With Finality
To Walk Under The Banner Of Grace
So That You Do Not Become A Cast-Off
Damned-For-All-Eternity Shut-Out Disgrace!

You Are Unique!

A Rarity!

Desired!

Desirable!

Despite Your Present Wear And Tear
Jesus Christ The King Died
To Return You To The Original Condition
So Do Not Be Dismayed:
Your Bill For Known And Personal Sin 
Has ... In Totality
Been Paid!

Look Up!
Walk On!
Do Not Permit Yourself To Get Conned
Because
Jesus Christ Would Have Died To Save You
Even If You Were On Earth
The Only One!

Pay Close Attention ...

Controlled Temper ... Measured Words
Uncontrolled Temper ... Hasty Words
Commandment Keepers
Commandment Breakers

And
Presumptuously, Willful, Sinners
All Have One Probation
Which Is Finished When Grace And Mercy
Descend ... From The Throne 
Ceasing ... Their Interceding
And
Justice: Strict Justice
Speaks ... With Finality
The Eternal Estate Of Every Human!

The Final Command ...

The Righteous Shall Be Righteous ... Still!
The Filthy Shall Be Filthy ... Still!
The Holy Shall Be Holy ... Still!
All Destinies Are Fixed!
Final!
Forever!
The Time For Change Is Finished!

Look In
Look Out
Look Up ...

How Do YOU Plan To Stand!?!
Will You Choose To Walk With The Begotten Son Of God
The Willing Son Of Man!?!
Will You Deny Your Self Now
So That In The Day Of Reckoning
You Shall Be Amongst Those
Who Shall Ride The Train To Glory
That Is Comprised Of Angels Making The Cloud!?!

PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord

For Your Blessings On Me!

Father,

I Love You

And

I Thank You For My Life

And

For The Precious Gift Of Time!

Thank You For The Time

To Make Wrong Things Right

So That By The Holy Spirit's Guidance

I May Your Holy Heart Bless And Delight!

Please Lead Me

And

Guide Me Gently Home

For It Is In In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Humbly Pray

And

Importunately Plead!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

I Will Not Wait: I Will WAIT!

I Will Not Wait!

You Are Not Serious!
The Bible Says That Are To Wait Upon The Lord!
How Are You Reading The Scriptures!?!

May A Bit More Carefully Than You Are Presently!

What Do You Mean!?!

Just Like Here, Hair, And Hear Sound Alike 

And Mean Different Things
Wait Has Different Meanings!

Okay! I'm Listening!

What Does "Wait For Me!" Mean To You Guys!?!

It Means That I Am Stay Where I Am 

Until You Come To Join Me!

What Does "Wait On Me!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That I Should Not Do Anything 

Until You Give The Go Ahead!

I Say It Means That I Should Serve You!

What Does "They Are Wait Staff!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That "They" Are 

Duly Commissioned Servants!

Okay!
Now I Will Tell You What I Meant
When I Said I Will Not "Wait!"

I Will Not Wait Until There Is Trouble
To Seek The Lord In Prayer!
I Will Not Wait Until Sorrow Comes
To Hurry To The Lord's Side!
I Will Not Wait Until I Am Hungry
To Ask The Lord For My Day's Food
And
I Shall Most Assuredly Not Wait
Until The Storm Of Wind Appears
To Seek Shelter Under The Umbrella Of 

The Living God's Love!

There Is A Time And Place For Everything
And
Time And Chance Happens To Every Man
And
We Need To Understand
What The Word Means When It Says

 

What That Text Is Saying ... Simply
Is
They That Serve
Obey
Trust
Expect Something Of And From The Lord
In Consequence Of Faith ... Faithfully
Have The Promise Of The Blessed Life Now

And

The  Glorified Life
Heaven At The Last Trumpet:
Immortality
Incorruptibility
They Shall Have Wings
They Shall Fly
They Shall Live With Almighty God!

You Actually Got All Of That Out Of The Word Wait!?!

If He Got All That From Wait
I Can Imagine What Will Come Of Trust!

Ahhh, Trust!
A Beautiful Word That Says I'm

Taking Rest Under the Savior's Tent!

Whoa!! I Like That!

You Should!

Wait Is In Trust!
Trust Is In Wait!
Waiting And Trusting In Our God Holy
Will Not See One Repentant Sinner
Enduring Old Satan's Fate!

Trust ... Give Me A Loan
Trust ... I Believe The Word
Trust ... I Believe Who Gives The Word
Trust ... Security
Trust ... Dependency

Trust Is All About Confidence!

The Lord Asks Us To Give Him Our Faith
Our Trust
Our Hope
And
Wait Upon Him To Do For Us
All That He Has Promised!

We Are To Surrender Self
Suspend, Discard, Destroy Doubt
Live In Hope
And
Believe That He Is True ...!

... He Says That He Is The Truth!

He Says He Is The Word!

He Also Says That He Is The Way
The Light
The Life
The Good Shepherd
The Door
The Savior!

He Says He Is Our Peace!

He Says We Find Our Rest In Him!

Brethren, Since Jesus Christ Is All Things
To Every Man
In Every Place
At Every Time
What Do You Say ... Based On The Living Word
Do WE Wait
Do We WAIT
DO WE WAIT
On The Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!?!

I Will Wait On The Son Of God
While I Wait For The Redeemer Of Man To Come!

I Will Not Wait To Pray And To Plead
While I Wait For Direction
From Him Who Does My Body And My Soul Feed!

I Will Wait In Hope
Trusting Him Through Trials!

I Will Not Wait In Fear Uttering Platitudes
And Spewing Unwarranted Denials!

I Will Wait And Watch And Work!
I Will Not Wander Away! 

I Will Wait In Obedience
On The Wonderful Counsellor
The Mighty God
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Me His Peace
Which Passes Human Understanding
And
I Shall Rest Under His Wings
Until He Gives Me Wings Of My Own
Strong Enough To Bear Me Up
As I Follow Him In That Day
Wheresoever He Goes!

Brethren,

Wait Does Not Mean Do Nothing!
Wait Has Weight

And

Our Wait Requires That We Work!

Waiting On The Lord Is A Worthy Commission

So

I Will Wait! 

I Will Also 

Work As I'm Taught

By Him!

And

I Will Also

 Watch As I Trust 

In Him!

 

APPROACHES TO LIFE: Fall-Back vs. Call Upon

SATAN IS THE LIAR!!

The Difference Between
A Committed Christian
AND
An Unbeliever
IS
The Unbeliever Has
A Fall-Back Position
BUT
The Committed Christian
Has A Call-Upon Savior
Gloriously Named
The Prince Of Peace
Jesus Christ The Lord!

My Spirit Is Very Troubled Within Me
Reading Hearing
About All The Teenage Suicides
AND
The Reasons Why
AND
I WONDER
Lord Knows ... I Wonder
In Whose Ears
Did These Poor Unfortunate
Desperate Souls
Cry?

What Have We Done?

What Are We Doing
By "Freeing Up" Society
From The "Interfering-In-Our-Pleasure" God
AND
Giving That Fraud Satan
Complete Access
To Destroy People's Minds
AND
Lives
Through Seeking Man-Public Social Media Approbation
Commendation
AND
Direction
Instead Of
Taking One's Hurting Heart
To 
THE ETERNAL
ALL SEEING
All KNOWING
EVER PRESENT

ALWAYS AVAILABLE
ALMIGHTY GOD?!

Modern Man
Baby Boomers
Gen-X Y Z
The Snow Flakes
Act Like Sharks
When They Smell
A Single Drop Of Blood
In The Water
AND
All Seem
To Take Perverse Pleasure
In Destroying
What One Poor Soul Calls Treasure!

It's Amazing How We Joyously Kill People
BUT
Save 

Cats Puppies
Wales Bees And Trees!

What Ever Happened To ...

Kind Word
Thoughtful Deed
Extending A Helping Hand
To A Broken
Bothered
Bewildered
Trembling
Brother Sister
Daddy Mommy
Friend?

What Ever Happened To
Let Me Pray With
For
You?
Let's Talk!?
You Speak - I Listen!?

Let's Go To Our Eternal God
Who For Us
- With Spilt Blood -
Intimately Cares?

Why Are We Celebrating

AND

Elevating

Suicide!?

Why Have We Cast Away
The Holy God
In Whom
- From Whom -
We Get The Peace
Where With
We Can This Life Abide!?

People, We Have A Savior
Who ... For Us
Cried!
Died!
AND YET
IS NOW
Interceding For Us
 ... In God's Heaven ...
Where He Resides!

Are We So Intelligent
That We Can't See
That
Without The Next Generation
That It's The End For 
Me
AND
Thee aka Humanity?!

Oops!
I Forgot  ...
That THAT IS The Plan!

Satan's Bold Plan!
Destroy Who God Loves
AND
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice
Will Have Been
Premature!?!
AND
Stunningly ... UNSUCCESSFUL!?!

Yuk It Up!
The Laugh's On Jesus!
There'll Be No One To Call The Throne!!?
BUT
Hello! Dick Tracy
Jesus Christ IS Still
The King
AND
The Lord Of Everything
A Shelter In The Time Of Storm
A Covert
From The Roaring Lion
Of Destructive Fame -
The Accursed One!

Jesus Christ
IS STILL
The Everlasting Father
The Rock Of Our Salvation
Our Redeemer
Our Sealer
The Conqueror
The Great Physician
AND
The Healer Of Hearts
Hurting!

Jesus Saves!

Don't Run To The Grave!
Wait ... Patiently
With Endurance
In Faithful Prayer
For Your Call
To Rest
In
The Lord!

Please ... Let Us Stop Killing

What

Can Be Cured!

AND ...

What Can't Be Cured

Is To Be Endured

By Grace

Through Faith

In The Lord Jesus Christ!

Satan Is A Hot Knife

BUT

In Jesus Christ Is  Eternal Life!

For The Price Of Our Sin

We (But Not All)

Will Eventually Die In This Flesh

BUT

If We Have Been Faithful

To The Eternal God

We Shall Live Again ... It Is Promised!

Please Do Not Turn A Faithful Promise

Into A Gross Lie!

Please Do Not Hasten Away To Die!

Without Christ Ideation

Man Will Forever Die!

With Christ

Man Shall Eternally Fly!

Wait ... On The Lord!

My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me!

The Biggest Failure
Of My Life
Was Doubting 
The Good Faithfulness Of God
Who
Made A Blessing For Me
Out Of A Boldly Malicious Deceit Of The Fraud!

I Have Often Wondered
How Is It Possible
To Tell The Living God
Years Later
One Is Sorry For One's Long Ago Sin

When

The Product Of Your Sin
Saves Your Life -
It's Beyond My Understanding!

This Issue "Tormented"
My Spirit For Years -

Father, How Can I Be Sorry
For A Wrong
When
Months Later
By Its Advent
In Dire Distress
I Was Made Strong -
How IS This Possible?
Open My Eyes Lord!
I Have No Desire To Face The Unconfessed
Unrepentant Sinner's Frown!

And,  Then ...

With The Inevitable Passage Of Time
AND
A Willingness
To Let The Lord Christ
To Me
Be The One Divine
Ever So Often
I Would Talk To God On This Matter!

What I Did
Was Upright Sin
BUT
My God Had Not Me Forsaken
AND
Out Of A Prompted Evil
In Mercy For Me
Almighty God
Over-Rode The Desire Of The Devil
AND
Made A Way
That He For Good
Could Make A Use Of Me!

Sexual Sin
Is Sin Against One's Very Soul!
Thievery
Is Sin Against Someone's Property Or Cash Cold!
Willful Destruction Of A Man's Character
Is A Sin Which Makes The Man Poor
But Doesn't Make Us Rich
AND
Blasphemy
Is Proud Sin
Bold Sin 
Against The Holy God
Who Sits On Heaven's Throne
Which Will Get Us Into Hot Hell
By God's Vengeance
Served Cold!

But I Digress.

It Took Time ... But I Learned
God Is Faithful!
Even Though His Love We Spurn
God Forgives
AND
He Has A Thousand Ways  To Save
That We Not Of!

Sin Has Its Own Reward
But
Out Of Evil
Cometh Good
BECAUSE
God Said:
It's A Promise ...

ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD
To THEM THAT LOVE God
AND ARE CALLED
According To HIS PURPOSE!

BUT ... Be Ye Warned

All Sin Takes A Toll On The Soul
AND
Presumptuous Sin
Is Amongst The Worst
For That Type Sin
Always Births Running Foals
AND
Left Unchecked
Before The Living God
Is Going To Cost The Sinner His Soul!

I Went Before The Lord!
I Explained My Predicament!
I Said With My Mouth
That I Was Sorry
AND
Then Humbly Asked:

Father,  
How Do I
Of This Sin Honestly
With A Contrite Heart
Truly Repent?

The Reply Is Simple
Yet
Profound:

Against Me

Against Me Only

Hast Thou This Sin Done!

I Am Your Father!

I Said To You In My Commandments

Don't Do It

But

You Permitted The Devil

Against Me

To Turn You Around!

Your Sin Is Not In Choosing To Believe

The Lie Of Satan

But In Not Choosing To Believe 

The Truth Of Your God

And For This

You've Borne Many Sorrows

That By Obedience You Could Have Avoided

And Lived In Tranquility

Your Life Long!

Remember Eve And Adam!

The Person With So-Called

 Life And Death Power

And

Food And Shelter

Peace And Security

Even Love

Which Often At Man's Hands

Turn Into Hate Power

Has No Real Power

Nor Control Over You!

I Gave Unto You Free Will

A Measure Of Faith

Grace To Find Help

And Grace For Each Day

And

Against Every Temptation

A Sure Way Of Escape!

All Sin Must Be Repented

No Matter If For God

You Are Doing A Good Work

For

You May Work To Save Others

But

For Yourself

You May Find Your Own Salvation

An Unutilized Heaven-Given Perk!

All Sin Is Against The God Of Heaven
And Is Against
- Over Us -
His Sovereignty
AND
By Giving Place To The Devil
We Are Likening Him
To Heaven's Own Royalty!

I Finally Understood
As
Before The God Of Heaven
One Day I Stood:

Every Check Mark

Has To Have Against It

A Corresponding Balance -

By Repentance Paid ... Sin Erased

BUT

By Unrepentance Left Unpaid ... Against My Name

The Sin Stayed!

If Sin Is Left Unrepented
In The Day Of Fierce Judgment
My Subsequent Righteousness
That Is ... My Subsequent Right Living
Will Not The Death Angel's Hand Stay!

A Christian Has No Excuse
For Sin To Remain Unrepented Of
BECAUSE
Under The Agency
The Prompting
Of The Holy Spirit
- As King David Said -
The Sin Is Ever Before You!

For Many, Many Years
Every Single Night
I Would Say:

Create In A Clean Heart,  Oh,  God ...!
Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence ...!
Take Not Your Holy Spirit From Me ...!
Return Unto Me The Joy ...!
Uphold Me ...!

Until
I Finally Understood Why:

The Sin Was/Is Sinful!
The Blessing Was/Is Real!
God IS The Father
AND
His Ways Never Fail!

Then I
With My Heart In My Throat
AND
Truly Repentant
Repented To My God
In The Name Of My Jesus
AND
I Am  ...  Forgiven!

Satan Cannot Outwit God!

What Was Meant

For My Eternal Destruction

Was Overridden

In The Court Of Heaven!

God Knows Our Hearts!

*********

When We Choose

To Work With

And

For God

God Mercifully Works On Us

To Remove From Our Person

The Putrifying Sores

From The Fraud

To Gain For Us

His Eternal Blessings!

*********

Trust God!

He Restores!

*********

Beloved . . .

Is There Something

Anything

That You Need To Place

On The Altar

Of Sacrifice . . . TODAY?!
