VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Soul Satisfaction!?!

Whatever You Say
I Am Still Going To Maintain That
There Are Great Differences Between
Dissatisfaction With Physical Self
Satisfaction With Sinful Self
And
Dissatisfaction With Sin In The Soul!

Dissatisfaction With Physical Self
Strikes ... 
At The Sovereign Will Of God!

Satisfaction With Sinful Self Places You
With Satan
On The Throne Of God!

Dissatisfaction With Sin In The Soul
Causes You To Call Upon
The Creator
The Sovereign God
- Whom You Recognize As Such -
The King Of Life
The Savior Of Man
To Make You Free
And
Clean
And
Whole!

Dissatisfaction
With Physical Self
Can Lead To Satisfaction ... With Sinful Self
Which Will Lead To
Satisfaction With Sin ... In The Soul!

Come On! That's Harsh!

So Is Hell!
Don't You Realize That
Personal Sin Starts In The Mind!?!

The Little Engine That ... Thought He Could
Believed He Could!
The Little Engine That Believed ... Did!
The Little Engine Does
Because
Mind Conquered Matter!

But ...

The Little Engine That Continues ... Doing
- Even Though He Is Found To Be
And Knows That He Is Wrong -
Because
He Believes He Is Right
And
His Maker Is Wrong
And
His Cause Is Just
And
Against The Will Of The Holy God
He Chooses To Remain Strong ... Boldly Sins!

I Hear That!

It's True!

Just Because You Can Do Something
Does Not Make Doing It
The Correct Thing That Should Be Done!

There Is A Problem ...

Refusal To Deal With Known Sin 
Protectively Cherished 
And
Cuddled
In The Heart
Causes Many To Resort To Shrinks
Plastic Surgeons
The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eye
And
The Consuming Vanity That 
Is 
The Pride Of Life!

Vanity Vexes The Spirit Of Man!

Hear! Hear!

Brethren,
Let The Record Show That



And

The Living God's Ready Response To It!




Let The Record Also Show That 




Loose Lips Sink Ships!

It Doesn't Have To Sink Our Ships
Because
Being Wise Unto Salvation
We Have Taken A Firm Position
And
We Choose ... By Faith
To Let The Lord Of Life Lead Us!

It Is About Time That We ...

Get Away From Vanity's Lying Mirror
And
Look, Instead
At The Living Holy Saving Word Of God!

It Is Past Time That We ...

Put Away Self
And
Seek Free Salvation
Available Mercy
And
The Free Grace That Is Always ... Sufficient!

Don't You Know That ...

The Walk, Then, Through This Life
Will Be A Cakewalk
As Opposed To
The Unencumbered Dash To Damnation!?!

I Can Relate
Because I Was Headed In That Direction
Until I Had A Wake-Up Call
And I Understood
And By God's Grace
I Accepted The Call To Life!

I Hear You!

You Are Blessed!

Brethren,
All Of Us Will Hear The Call
And
Many Of Us Will Not Give Due Heed
And
For That Lack Of Obedience
They Will Have Spurned What Will Be
Jesus Christ's Last Call To Life Everlasting!

Let Us, Therefore, Be Wise Unto Salvation
And
Let Us Let Him Who Is Life
And
The Joy Of Living
Lead Us To Life Everlasting
Where Indeed
Our Souls Renewed 
Our Bodies Glorified
Will, Forever, Be Satisfied!

Let Us Endeavor
To Meet Our Lord In The Air
On That Day Of His Appointing 
When He Shall Breach The Eastern Sky!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!

We Who Walk With Him
Do Not Ever Walk Alone!

Let Us Keep Our Forever Friend Near!
Let Us Never Forget - In Faith - To Pray!

Man Looks But ... God Sees!




Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
God Looks Upon The Heart!
Man Looks For
Trendy Clothes
In-Tune-With-The-World Speech
AND
Bodacious Bodies Hot And Got
To Lay Out The Opposite Sex At Their Feet
BUT GOD 
Says:



Ignore The Naysayers
And
The Lies That You Have Been Told
For
The Blood Of Jesus
My Beloved Son
- Your Only Savior -
Bought Your Salvation
Which Cannot
For Man's Pittance
Be Bought
Bartered
Nor Sold!
Come In From The Cold
And
Be A Part Of My Fold!

Brethren ...

Man's Indictment 
Against Me
Against You
Via Their Blind-Eye Looking
Is Not Worth
Even A Single Dry Bean!
In Short
They May Have A Pot
But
There Is Nothing Cooking!

No One Can Stop The Telling Of
The Truth
The Old
Ever New 
Gospel - Good News -
Story!

Grace Is A Gift!
Faith Is A Gift!
Forgiveness!
Salvation!
Redemption!
Gift! Gift! Gift!
That All Come From
The Kingdom Of God
The Throne Of Present Grace
The Throne Of Coming Glory
That
No Outward Showing
Of Man
Can Efface!

Call Upon The Lord Christ
AND
The Holy Spirit Will Respond!

Repent Of Sin
In Jesus Name
AND
God The Father
Will Know Your Name!

Bow Your Heart!
Bow Your Head!
Bend Your Knee!
Putting Away Your Sin
- Man's Clothing -
Which Can Only Shame Thee
AND
Trust
Trust In The Promise
That Jesus Christ Alone
Is The One Who Can Truly Save
AND
For Eternity
New-Dress Thee!

Man Will Look
At My
At Your
Outward Appearance
BUT THANKFULLY
Thankfully
The Eternal God
- By Christ Jesus -
Sees
My Beating-For-Him Heart!
Devil, Depart!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Affliction Is Life's Teacher!






Affliction Is A Teacher!
AND
Affliction's Lashes Always Hurt
BUT
Affliction Viewed Correctly
AND
Studiously Acted Upon
Should Case Us 
- Who Are Truly Faithful -
To Sin
To Never Revert!

Sin Is Pleasure BUT
Only For A Season
AND
Salvation Is Security Always
Against Obliterating Night
Saving Us
From Against The Holy God
Committing Deadly Treason!
(Yup! Living Life Is A Battle!)

Faith Is Fuel!
Love Is Labor!
AND
Hope Rests
In Him Who Is Compassionate Light!

David The Shepherd-Warrior-King
Said He'd Rather Be A Doorkeeper
In The House Of His God
Than To Dwell In The Tents Of Wickedness
AND
I Add
The Dominion Of The Fraud!

Moses The Prophet
The General
A Type Of Christ
The Man That Trusted
Believed In
AND
Who Talked Daily With God
AND
Who Was Hidden In The Cleft Of The Rock
Safe Behind The Holy Hand
To See The Goodness
The Glory Of God
Was The Bold Meek One
Who Chose To Suffer Affliction
With The People Of God
Thank To Be Called Pharoah's Son!

God Loves Mankind
AND
Desires That None
To His Eternal Kingdom Be Lost
So Sometimes
Many Times
Often Times
It Takes A Pain
Or Two 
Or Three
Or A World Of Hurt
To Hurt Us
To Get And Hold Our Attention
To Get The Rust Off Our Rumps
To Get Us On The Straight And Narrow Path
To Salvation
So That He May Eternally Save Us!
(Just Think Of Cauterizing A Wound To Save A Leg
Or Chopping Off A Leg To Save A Life!)





So ...

Take No Offense
When The Holy God Allows Our 
Can't Walk
Can't Talk
Can't Hear
Can't Help
Can't Heal
Can't Satisfy 
False Gods aka Useless Idols
To Fall
AND
Then Severs 
Their Useless Arms And Legs
OR
When He Causes Them
To Completely Shatter
Rendering Them
Well And Truly Irreparable
AND
Very Dead!
(Come on! They Were Never Ever Living!)

Affliction 
- Life's Crucible -
Is A The Teacher
AND
To A True Jesus-Believing Christian
Cannot Be A Curse
For
If Satan And Cruel Men
Afflicted Him Who Is Our Master
Why Should We Expect The Reverse?!

Trusting God Through Christ Jesus
Is Waiving A Red Rag
In Satan's
AND
His Agents' Faces
AND
You Should Recognise
That
We
Me
You
Are
Runners
In The Salvation Stakes Races!

If We Are The Horses
Then Jesus Is Our Breeder Creator Owner Trainer
AND
The Living Word Is Our Premium Feed
The Holy Spirit Is Our Groomer
AND
The Holy Angels
- Our Influencers For Good Outcomes -
Hold Our Protection Cords' Leads!

Our Almighty Father God
IS
In Total And Complete Control
AND
The Owner
Of The Land
Whereupon Is The Race Course
AND
All
Must Recognise
AND
Accept
That If He Scraps
Or Allows
A Dog Race
A Steeple Chase
A Runner Sprint
Or A Carriage Race
He. Makes. The. Final. Decision!
AND
No Body Good 
No Spirit Evil
Can Change
The Racing Date
For Once Birthed
One Death Is Appointed Unto A Man
AND
He Has To Go Through 
The Racer's Gate!



Gold Is Tried
And
Flesh Is Tested
But
Have Hope
For
Jesus Christ Who Died 
Is Alive
And
For Us
Is In
The Most Holy Place
Of
The Heavenly Sanctuary
Faithfully Interceding!

*********

Be Faithful Unto Death!
Bear Your Hurts
By God's Grace!
Confess Your Sins
And
Repent
And
Thereafter
Steadfastly
God's Laws Obey
And
In Due Season
You Will Wear Your Own
Everlasting Crown!

That's A Blood-Bought Guarantee!
