VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Sharp Turn Around!









One-Eighty And Three-Sixty Were Running Through The Town! 
Repentance Took One-Eighty And
Three-Sixty Valiantly Tried To Get Repentance 
To Do A Hard Rebound!

Three-Sixty Loved Anything Circular!
He Loved Anything Fat And Round
But 
He Sincerely Hated That One-Eighty 
Who Had A Knack For Making All Sinners With Repentance
Do A Sharp Turn-Around! 

Three-Sixty Loved The Status Quo! 
He Loved No Need To Change! 
He Worked For Beelzebub, That Dragon
Who Loved To Keep Born Sinners In Locked And Heavy Chains! 

You May Well Ask Yourself The Question:
One-Eighty Or Three-Sixty, Who Cares!?! 
So Let Me Tell Me You What Love-Dove Peace Told Me 
And 
You May Decide If It Does Anything Explain! 

Sinners Are By Nature Born
But When They Seek And Find The Lord Christ 
They Cannot Willing-Sinners Remain! 

Encountering Christ Convicts Of Sin 
And Causes The Desire To Change! 
That Change Is Called Repentance, My Friend, 
Which Means That One Must Wheel And Come Again! 

Repentance Is A You-Turn Even On The Crooked Road Straight! 
A You-Turn Is A One-Eighty, You See
But 
Beelzebub Has People Convinced That 
Repentance Is A Full Three-Sixty! 

Lord, Have 'is Mercy! 
I U-sed To Think That The Three-Sixty Was The Deal 
But I Is Now Understand That 
That Three-Sixty Does Lef' Me In The Round-About Land 
Without The Off-Ramp! 

Bingo, Beloved! 

You Done Got De Thing! 

Doing That Three-Sixty 
Does Left We With De Bull-Cow Brass Nose Ring 
With Beelzebub, That Satan, That Deceiver, Bearing The Hook 
And Dragging We Helter Skelter 
As He Waiting Fuh We Goose To Get Cooked! 

You Speak Truth, My Friend! 

I Know The Real Friend 
Who Encourages Us To Embrace Real Repentance 
So That We May Rightfully Enter The House Of 
The Dear One Who Was Born To Be The Everlasting King! 

His Name Is Truth! 
His Way Is Peace! 
He Gives Wisdom And Understanding
And 
As Regards Our Shackles
It Is He Who Does Our Chains And Locks Release! 

I Like That One-Eighty Repentance! 

Three-Sixty Is Free To Go To Hell! 
I Will Trust The Truth That Matters 
And Depart From The Lies That Splatter! 

The Final Word ... Perfect Love Gives Free Grace 
But 
Strict Justice Terminates Available Mercy! 
Please Think Of These In Real-World Terms
And 
You Will Not Your Pick For Heaven 
Carelessly, Callously, Spurn! 

Peace!

CO-OPERATING WITH CHRIST: Counting The Costs!

 




Are You Choosing To Live Consciously Aware That 
You Are A Personal Beneficiary Of The Goodness Of 
The God Of Glory Who Reigns And Rules In Heaven Above 
Or
Are You Just Drifting Along Like Any Ungrateful Child 
Taking What Daddy And Mummy Has In Store To Give 
As Your Right Because ...Well
They Brought You Into This Cruel World Without Your Consent 
And So
They Owe You Whatever You Demand
No Questions Asked
No Answers Given!?! 

Are You Perhaps, By Some Weird Happenstance
Taking Love Of The Everlasting Sort For Granted!?! 

Stop It! 

There Is A Parable In The Peeling Of A Carrot
Opening A Cabbage Head
Skinning And Figging An Orange
And 
Scraping Ginger Root! 

Once You Break The Bonds
Aka The Ties That Bind The Whole In Place
They Can Never Be Put Back Together Again! 

Once The Whole Becomes Parts, Pieces 
Forward Motion Must Be Maintained
And 
The Predetermined Outcome Is Evidenced: 
Intended Use
Misuse
Or 
Refuse! 

Intended Use Satisfies! 
Misuse Hurts The Abuser! 

And

In The Spiritual Realm
Refused, Abused, Discarded
Aka Garbaged Love, Grace, Mercy, Salvation, Truth
And Light
And Peace
Results In The Bold Ingrate-Abuser Becoming 
Refused And Rejected
And 
Discarded Into Outer Darkness 
... And Burnt Up ... 
Never To Be Seen Again! 

Are You Counting Your Costs In The Here And The Now!?! 

Have You Considered That 
Your Built-up Tomorrow-Land Castle 
Will Be No More Than Pounded Sand!?! 

Whatcha Yuh Gonna Do Then!?! 

Beloved, 

Please Put Your Spiritual House In Upward Way 
Aka Traveling 
Aka Homeward Bound Order: 
Trip Tickets Issued Are Always One-Way! 

Please Cooperate With Christ: 
Make Him First In Your Life!

Peace!

DISOBEDIENCE: Are You A Strange Child!?!










Are You A Strange Child Who Is A Traitor To The Lord Of Life
Your Creator, Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend!?! 

Have You Forgotten For A Moment Whose Child You Are!?! 

Are You Forgetting That Jesus Christ, The Lamb Of God
Justifies You ... Takes Away Your Guilt Before The Father 
And
Jesus Christ ... Our High Priest 
Sanctifies Us ...  Sets Us Apart For Holy Use  
- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
From The Day We Confess Our Sin 
And 
Repent Aka Turn Away From Our Sin
Until The Day That We Die!?! 

Are You Forgetting That You Are The Light Of The World
And 
The Salt Of The Earth!?! 

Is Your Light Shining Brightly!?! 

What Sermon Is Your Life Preaching 
To Those Who See You Daily!?! 

Are You A Tasty Salt-Lick ... A Blessing
Or Are You Totally Tasteless 
And 
Fit Only To Be Cast Before Swine 
And 
Trodden Under Men's Feet!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget That The Eternal God Knows 
And
Faithfully Records 
All That We Say And Do! 
Please Never Forget That We Sin Daily
By Thought, Word And Deed! 

Beloved, 

If You're Falling Short
Please Humble Yourself
And
Pray To Stop The Rot: 
Plead For Grace To Get Back On Track! 

If You're Doing Well
Don't Get Complacent: 
Continue To Pray For Available Grace 
And
Press On! 

Working Faith Can't Fail! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
Precious!

HAPPY SABBATH + JESUS' PEACE: Don't Give Away What You Can't Purchase!








Oh, To Be At Perpetual Rest! 

There Is Temptation From The Enemy Called Self ... Within 
And 
There Is Molestation From The Adversary, Satan ... Without! 
Sin Knocks At The Heart's Door Where We Live
And
Whenever And Wherever We Walk About!
Guard Your Heart!

Are You Tired ... And Weary
Ever Running From Known Foes!?! 
Then Rest Ye In Christ Jesus 
Who Does Your Every Sorrow Know! 

Remember That This Life Is Temporary
That Jesus Has Already Won Victory For Us 
Over The Known Adversary Our Rabid Foe 
And
Dare To Rest In The Love Of Him Who Calls Us
In Him Whose Feelings For Us Do Constantly Show! 

In Jesus Is Rest! 
In Jesus Is Our Present Peace! 
In Jesus Is Peace That Passes Human Understand 
And
Rest For The Weary-Of-Sin Soul! 

In Jesus, We Have Rest For Body, Mind And Spirit! 
We May Labor By Jesus' Faith That Cannot Fail 
And 
Dare To Longingly Look For The Rest That 
Is 
Known Eternal!
Soon Will Be Consumed That Damned Enemy Infernal! 

Trust The Lord And Obey! 
Live For Jesus And Pray! 
Walk Wisely 
And 
Dare To Look Up 
For He Who Calls You Is Coming: 
He Holds The Judgment Book 
And 
Our Great Reward! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Yield To What Can't Prosper Your Soul! 
Write Good In Your Book So That In The Great Day 
You Will Emerge As Gold! 
Dare To Trust The Lord Through The Eyes Of 
Living, Enduring, Working-By-Love Faith 
And
Find Sweet Rest In 
And 
On The Eternal Rock 
Firm And Secure Through Time 
And 
For Eternity To Come! 

Peace For Us Is Free
But
It Was Costly
To Our Almighty God
To Jesus Christ The Lord:
Don't Give Away
What You Can't Purchase!
Give Heed To The Holy Spirit!

PRAYER: Father, You Have Given Me Freedom!


Psalm 119:30 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Father, 
You Have Given Me The Freedom
To Choose To Follow You In Faithfulness 
Or To Allow My Sinful Self To Be My Leader
And The Free Will To Make My Own Decisions
For Or Against You! 

Despite My Straying And Often Disobedience
You Hear My Feeble Cries Of Distress 
And You Still Answer Me When I Call: 
Thank You For Your Loving Faithfulness! 

Father, I Once Walked The Broad Way To Destruction 
And Through Bitter Experience
I Now Safely And In Confidence Say:
"I Repent Of My Past!"
Because I Now Understand, Accept And Appreciate That 
Your Word And Your Ways Bless And Prosper Me! 

With All Humility, Father
I Truly Acknowledge And Finally Trust You Totally
At Your Holy Word: Whatever I Do That Pleases You 
Will Always Bless Me! 

I Have Made My Choice: 
By Your Sweet Spirit
With The Protection Of The Holy Angels
In The Name Of My Jesus, Christ The King
The Lord Of Glory
I Am Walking With You As Life Is Spared
Wherever, Whenever And However You Shall Lead Me! 

My Life Is Yours: Use It! 
My Will Is Yours: Make Your Will Mine! 
My Way Is Yours: Refashion My Feet To Walk In Your Holy Ways
And Comfort Me 
And Wipe My Tears Away As I Negotiate The Crucible That 
Recreates Me In Your Image Today! 
Have Mercy, Lord, On Me! 
AMEN!

Jesus Christ's Personal Pleasure: Willing Service!




Jesus Christ Serves With Pleasure
Doing The Father's Will
AND
We Who Are His Servants
Should Express The Thrill
Over The Fact
That
The Holy Spirit
The Seeking Heart Fills!
That
The Holy Angels, Excellent
Guard Believers
With Competent Skill!
That
Food Is Available

Our Hungering Stomachs To Fill
AND
Mercy, Free
Grace, Full
Is Available
So That By Working Faith
AND
Our Trusting In The Lord Jesus
Satan And Sin
Cannot Our Souls Kill!


Jesus Christ
Paid The Outstanding Bill
AND
We, Blessed
Beloved
Should Not Choose
In This Life To Lazily
Loftily
Licentiously
Chill!


REMEMBER:
The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
The Savior Of The World
Did
For Us
His Wholly Holy Innocent Blood
On Calvary
Spill!


Please Do Not
- By Complacency -
 Let The Sacrifice
Made In Our Behalf
Become 
For Your Personal Salvation
The Thing Inscribed As Nil!


Ask For
And
Permit
The Holy Spirit
Of
The Eternal God
Your Thirsty Spirit
- Longing After Christ's Righteousness -
Completely Fill!

Apeirophobia:- Fear Of Everlasting Life!?!




STOP The Presses!
I've Just Heard It All!
Because You Have Never Experienced Eternal Life
You're Afraid
To Think About It At All!

One Man Decided To Stop Napping
Because His Naps
Induced His Anxiety!
One Person Dreaded The Thought So Much
That The Only Cure Was
Psychiatry!

Satan
At His Magnificent Best
Has Pulled Some Doozies
In His Time
BUT
This Has To Be A Stroke Of Sheer Genius
For
If Can Man Can Be Induced
To Discount The Value Of Everlasting Life
The Lord Jesus Christ
Satan, Evilness Itself
Will Seemingly
Have A Leg Up Against King Jesus!

BUT ...

Let Not Satan 
And His Kind Yet Celebrate!
Almighty God
Is The One
Who Did Man Create!
God
In His Mercy
Has Made Provision
Against Demonic Ingenuity
By Having The Holy Spirit
Reach Out To All Humanity!

Every Man
Has An Opportunity To Know
That God's Everlasting Life
Is For Those
Who Desire There To Go
BUT
It Will Not Be For Lack Of Information
Or
Descents Into Fright
Nor
Misinformation
Nor
Demons Selling Rotten Tripe!

All Men
Will Make Their Decision
On
Full Disclosure Of The Facts
AND
No Fear Of The Unknown
Is Going To Change That!

Satan Is A Liar!
The Father Of Lies!
AND
His Yen To Subversiveness
Does Not Lend To Man
The Lack Of Knowledge Excuse!

Men Say They Fear Death!
Have You Died AND Returned
To Tell Others
The Story
That Dying Burns?

God Says ...

The Dead Know Nothing!
So
Anybody Who "Comes Back"
And Tells Of The Grand Voyage
Of
Meeting Mammy And Pappi
And Dead Movie Stars
And Genghis Khan
And Hitler And His Like
Are Just Like Endor's Witch
With King Saul
Thinking
That They Had Awakened The Prophet Samuel
AND
Heard Him Talking To All!

It Ain't Never No Way Happened
And
It Ain't Going To Happen Today
And
Any Other Stories Being Told
That The Afterlife Is Cobwebs
Perpetual Virgins
Strumming Harps Ad Naseum
Bouncing On Clouds Without Purpose
AND
Eating Ambrosia
AND
Lounging Loafing About
Is Working Working
Working
For That Lied King Unclean
Old Satan Himself
Who Is Suffering From
Envy Quite Green!

No One Known As Living
No One Marked As Dying
Has Any Reason
To Fear Everlasting Life
For
The Preserved Word Of Almighty God Says:




Do Not Despise
Your Birthright!
Do Not Despise
Your Gift!
Do Not Sell Out
God's Good Gold
To Buy
Satan's
Rotting Red Bean Pottage!

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

Do A Jacob
And
Wrestle With God
And
Get That Fiend's Fallacies
Out Of Your Craw!

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

Shuck The Liar's Lies
And
Live
OR
Swallow The Liar's Lies
And
Die!

The Choice
Is
Only Ours To Make!

PRAYING: Feeling And Being At Home


They Were Drawing Near To God
With Lips But ... No Heart!
They Were Kneeling Before God
But
The True Supplicant's Heart Was Not It!
AND
They Were Bowing Before God
Almighty 
With Stony Heart
Loving
Preferring Things
Touted By The Idolatrous Nations
Ranging Wild
AND
Behaving Riotously Ungodly
Daring God
To Do Something About!
He Did!

Almighty God Spoke Often
Of Men Drawing Near To Him
Formally
Ritually
Crying Because Of Broken Skin
Not Because They Truly Believe In Him
Or Were Repentant Of Their Known Sin
But Because They Were Caught Out
AND
Their Bodies
Were Physically Hurting!

They Were Just Like Little Children
Unruly
Unrestrained
Willing To Hear The Current Chastisement
AND
Thereafter To Be Healed
AND
Immediately Thereafter
Throwing Off The Leading Reins
AND
Kicking Up Their Heels
In Idolatrous
Holy God-Denying 
Hellbent Display!

There Was No Heart Repentance!
There Was No Sorrow For Sin!
There Was No Appeal For Their Spirit's Conversion!
AND
The Lord Well Knew 
That All The People Really Wanted
Was For Their Bodies To Stop Aching!

On The Other Side ...

Are Those Who See
AND
Understand
Their True Need!
They Know That They Need Their Soul's Savior
AND
They Accept
That He Does Indeed His People Daily Feed!

They Believe
That They Can
At His Door 
Sharply Softly
Just ... Knock!
They Know That They Can Seek Him
AND
They Know A Blessing Of Him May Be Asked
For He Dearly Loves His Little Flock!

They Recognise That Prayer Is A Privilege
AND
A Dear Necessity
AND
They Know That No Clock 
Is
Can Never
Be Ever Set 
For Petitioning God By Saying Prayers
AND
They Know
That They Commune With The Holy God
At His Already Personally Extended Invitation
Whether In Sorrow Or In Joy
About Their Fears And Their Cares
AND
Over Little Concerns
AND
Yes!
Just To Give Their Father
Some Necessary Worship
AND
Praise
In Gratitude
For Mercy AND Grace
In Thankfulness
For Glory To Be Soon Totally Enjoyed
AND
For Just Because
"I Love You, Lord!"
AND
Just Because
"You Are The Holy God!"
AND
Because
"You Protect Me From That Wily Fraud!

Prayer Places Us
At Home
With God
Where All Are Welcome
As Though All 
Is 
Just One!

Our God Is Personal!
Our Prayers Should Be Personal, Too
AND
We Should Also Pray Back God's Own Promises
That He Personally Wrote In His Own Blood
For 
AND
Unto Me
AND
Unto To You!

Pray! Pray!
Wherever You May Be!
Pray! Pray!
Talk To Jesus Constantly!
Commune Heart To Heart
None Other Has To Hear Your Words
AND
Also Remember To
Pray-CISE
Communally
Individually
Sincerely
AND
Earnestly!

Persistent Prayer 
Is
Patently Powerful!
So ... PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
For
You Can't
Never
No Way
No How
Annoy God
For He Asks Us
To Call On Him Steadfastly!

*********


People, Please
P ersistently Petition To
R eceive Blessed
A ssistance From God And To Accede To
Y ahweh's Wishes!

Because Of Disobedience ...!








The Lot Of Man
Is A Cruel One
Because Of Disobedience
AND
Refusing On God's Word To Stand
So Now It Seems
That We Operate By
The Satan-Prescribed Plan
Which Leaves Us No Outlet
BUT
To Be Amongst The Unnecessarily Damned!

BUT ... There's A But!

Almighty God
In His Mercy
Made A Way To Reclaim His Own!
He Gave Up His Treasure
So That By Pure  And Willing Sacrifice
The Wayward Sinners
- Acknowledging Their Need -
Would By Prayer
Be Able To Reach Their Father In His Home
AND
By Using The Name Of The Treasured Jesus
- Once Dead For All But Now Alive -
They Could
By Confession And Repentance
Have Their Dying Souls
By God's Great Grace
Lovingly Revived! 

The Way Is Not Easy!
The Inanimate Road
Is With Disease
Temptation
AND
Beckoning Death
Alive!
There Be Those With Agendas
- Compliments Of God's Bold Enemy -
Who
To Those Walking The Straight And Narrow Path
Will Be Fawning Frenemies!

All The Way Walking To Jesus
Faithful Ones 
Must Keep Their Eyes On The Prize!
Look Not Back Toward The Flesh Pots!
Look Forward To Heaven 
AND 
Walk As Ones' Wise!

Yield Not To Sin!
Yield Not One Holy Spirit-Inspired Conviction!
Hold On To The Lord Jesus Christ
For
He's The Only Way To Father God
AND
To Eternal Life!

Be In Constant Prayer
For It Is Our Shield, Friends!
In Its Warmth
Jesus Leads Us Day By Day!
Hold On To Hope!
Be Strong, Fellow Travellers
Jesus Christ Will Get Us Home
If We To The End
AND
In His Faith
Endure Tribulation
As We Walk With Confidence
Along The Gospel Way! 


PRAYER:

Lord, 
Please Make My Earth-bound Eyes 
Blind 
To Seeking Indulgence 
In Gross Carnality
So That
I May 
- By Soaring Hope -
See The Inexpressible Joys
That You Have Prepared For Me
And
In The Fullness Of Your Time
That I May Enter
The Home You Have Prepared
In The Land That Is Heavenly!

Lord, 
Help My Faith To Live
And
To Prosper
So That I Will Not Fall For
Satan's Diabolically Deceitful Offers
And
Please Also
Grant Me Your Peace
And
The Holy Spirit's Refreshing
And
Let Not Self Have Dominion Over Me
In Jesus' Holy Name I Plead!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

***********

By Living Faith

In Jesus Christ

We Will Enter The Home

Not Built By Hands!
