VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wisely Work Unwaveringly On Your Relationship With Jesus Christ!




If I Walked Up To You And Issued To You My Rules 
And 
Demanded, Commanded, Ordered You To Obey Them 
No Questions Asked, No Answers Given
Without There Being Some Agreed Upon Relationship Between Us
You Would Look At Me As Though I Had Sprouted Two Extra Heads 
And 
Then Insolently Invited Me To Make Like A Tree And Leave 
After Telling Me What I Should Do With My Rules! 

Beloved, 

There Is A Wonderful Quotation Which Says That 
Rules Without Relationship Leads To Rebellion! 

Every Relationship
Be It By Blood
By Faith
By Affection
Or By Interests 
Requires Input To Have Outpouring! 

A Production Line Requires A Designer
A Plan, Power, Equipment
Workers, Raw Materials
A Schedule, A Delivery System
A Repair/Replacement Protocol
And 
Some Sort Of Planned Obsolescence 
Aka We Shutting This Puppy Down In Two Years! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have Our Creator-Savior
The Holy Bible
The Plan Of Salvation
Confession And Repentance
Mercy And Grace
Probation
Intercession
And 
The Great Judgment Day Aka The Second Coming! 

Holding It All Together 
Is 
Our Relationship With Almighty God 
Through Our Decision To Follow Jesus By Faith For Love! 

Are You Following Your Creator's Commands!?! 

Are You Looking To Be Sealed By The Holy Spirit!?! 

Are You Looking Forward To Being In Glory With Your God!?! 

Check Aka Protect Your Relationship With Christ 
And 
Forget About Sinning With Satan! 

Get In
Stay In 
And
Wisely Work Unwaveringly On Your Relationship With Your Lord! 

Peace!

DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN: The Strait Way Struggle!

 

Onward And Upward 
Is 
On The Strait And Narrow Way 
And
We Will Never Reach The Heavenly Home Safely 
If 
We Allow Our Attention From This Path To Stray! 

Beloved, 

There Will Always Be The Way Faster
The Way More Fun
The Way Less Strenuous
And
The Way Where Doing Without Is Just A Song! 

Think! 

If Anyone "Helps" A Butterfly Out Of His Cocoon
He Will Never Fly 
And
He Will Soon Die! 

If A Humming Bird Forgets Who He Is 
And 
Why He Does What He Does
He Will Become The Feast On The Table Of 
The One Who Will Handle Him 
According To What He Shows Himself To Be 
And 
Not By The Reputation For Which He Is Known! 

Dear Ones, 

A Ground-Dove Will Never Rise 
To The Heights Achieved By An Eagle! 

Please Choose To Live In Your Place 
Near To The Heart Of God 
Through The Lord Christ Jesus 

And 

Though Belittled
Denied, Disregarded
And 
Disrespected
Dare To Firmly Hold The Line That 
Leads To Surpassing Glory! 

There Is Always Darkness Before Dawn! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 
Be Strong In The Lord
And
In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! + PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Oppose ...!




HAPPY DEPENDENCE
UPON JESUS CHRIST DAY!

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

PRAYER:

Father,

Please Help My Soul To Decidedly 
Distinctly
Directly Oppose
Everything
That Agrees With
And
Causes Me To Walk In
The Ways Of The Prince Of Darkness!


Father, 

Please Help My Soul To Wittingly
Willfully
Wisely
Agree  With Everything
That Guides Me To Your Truth
And
Helps Me To Walk In Faith 
In The Ways Of The Prince Of Peace
The Lord Of Light And Right
The King Of Glory!


Lord,
You Have Declared In Your Holy Word

That In This World
We Will Have Tribulation
But

You Did Not Leave It There

And Us Alone
For
You Also Emphatically Declared
That We Are To Be Of Good Cheer
Because
You Have Overcome The World
So, Father Of The Faithful
I Take Your Side In The Strife 
And
I Acknowledge
That There Is Covering For All
Who Will To Be Saved
Into The Everlasting Kingdom
To Be Protected Through The Strife!


I Believe Your Promises! 

I Trust Your Character! 
I Accept Your Bounty Of Blessings
And
Your Graces A Myriad!
I Fall Upon Your Mercies
Distinctly New Each And Every Day
And
In Jesus Christ's Faith
I Call On You In Prayer
To Bless Me With All Blessing
As I Seek Your Face
To Do Your Will
Moment By Moment
Throughout The Known Blessed Day!


Please Remember The Sin-Sick

The Sorrowful
The Pitiful
The Sad
The Widow
The Orphan
The Known Sinful

And

The Rich Man Whose Riches 
Do Not Make His Gross Heart Glad! 


Please Also Remember The Little Children

Those Small Ones
And The Ones Aged
To Shed Upon Them Your Holy Light
To Show Them Your Limitless Love
To Teach Necessary Truth
And
To Guide Them
In The Way To Walk Right
So That They May Become
To The Glorious Living Kingdom
An Everlasting Delight!


You Have Told Us, Lord
That We Are Worth More Than A Sparrow

Even If We Don't Dress And Live 
Like The Fallen World's Kings
And
For This, Lord
We Are Trusting Your Promises
Which By Sacrifice
You Made To Us Already Dead In Sin
And
Made Available To Us
Just For The Asking
And
The Accepting!


Please Grant Us Your Peace!

Please Give Unto Us Your Rest
And
Bless Us To Daily Shine The Light
In The Dark World
And
Speak The Truth
In And Out Of Season
So That Men Will See Our Good Works 
And
Glorify Our Father
You, Who Are In Heaven!


You Are Our God
The Only One Holy
And
We Daily Depend Upon You
And
Worship You
And
Give Unto You
All Glory, Honor And Praise
And
Ask That You Grant Unto Us
These Few Petitions
For
We Ask All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN

PRAYER ... For The American People!




Heavenly Father,
Creator And Sustainer
Healer And Savior
Judge And King
We Come To Thee
For We Can Of Our Own Selves
Do Nothing!
Help Us 
By Faith
To Rest In Our Savior
At This Time Of Momentous Change
When Darkness Fills The Land
And
Gross Darkness
Is Descending Upon The People
With Evil Power And Devilish Might!

Father,
Jesus Christ In The Garb Of Flesh
In Living Faith In Your Holy Might And Power
Calmed The Raging, Angry, Sea
And We
In Our Little Mustard Seed Faith
Beseech You 
That You Speak Peace
Unto That Which Would Consume 
All Those You Have Called
And
Who Are Faithfully Walking Unto Thee!

Father,
We Pray For This People!
We Pray For This Land!
We Pray For Those Who Would Rule
That They Will Not Bow Before
Any Devil Masquerading As Man
Nor Any Man Masquerading As God
That They Will Foreswear
Putting Personal Pleasure Before People
That They Will Own Thee
And
Seek To Honor The God Holy
And Not
The Would-be God Called Self
And That They Let Jesus Christ The Lord
Lead Them 
In The Way Holy
In The Way True
In The Way Kind
In The Way Honest
Being Not Turned Unto Fables
Nor Seeking After The Praises Of Men
And Thereby
Denying Themselves
The Promised Blessings Upon The Just 
From Almighty God
Who Permits His Rain To Fall
On The Just And The Unjust Among Mankind!

Oh, Father
In Your Unfailing Mercy
Pity Those Of Us
Who Choose To Walk 
With Hearts Lifted Up In Pride
Whose Faith Is In Unbelief
Who Take Pleasure In Unrighteousness
Who Have Familiar Spirits
Who Trust In Wizards That Peep
Who Praise And Worship The Damned Devils
And Their Damned Leader Satan
And Not
The Living Holy Eternal God Who Keeps
And 
Those Who Through Studied Wickedness
Lead The Gullible And Simple Astray!

Father,
Lead Us In The Right Way!

Pity Also Those, Lord
Whose Hearts Are Hardened In Bold Sin
Seeing No Need
For Confession And Repentance
And
Who Are Storing Up Wealth
That Is Their Very Soul
Damning
And Those, Lord
Whose Consciences Are Seared With Hot Iron
And
Who Take Pleasure In Walking Right
In Their Own Blinded Eyesight!

Lord,
By Your Great Love
And
In Mercy
Unto The Saving Of The Soul
Humble The Presumptuous
The Willful Stubborn
The Wildly Arrogant
And
The Child Who Forgets
That His Father Is The Eternal God!

Father,
You Are The Only Sovereign King
And
Where The Word Of The King Is
The People Walk In True Liberty
And
Perfect Light!
Let Your Word, As Promised, Stand!
Let The True Light Shine For It Is Divine!
Make Your Way Plain!
Give Unto Us Courage
To Walk In The Light Of Life
And
Help Us To Firm Stand
In The Faith Of The Fathers
For We Who Believe In
Love
Trust
Honor
Hope In
And
Obey You
Know That Heaven Is Not A Tale
Told By Old Folks
Nor Is It A Bank
That Men Can Cause To Go Broke
And
For These Reasons
It Is For You, Our Almighty God
That We Cast Our Vote
So That Our Calling
And
Election
May Be Made Wholly Sure
So That We Will Have The Right
To Enter Through The Gates
Of
The Eternal City
Which Will Ever Shine Bright
And Will 
Our Soul's Delight!

Jesus Is The Captain
And
Our Commander True
So
Help Us!
Feed Us!
Save Us!
And
Bless Us 
Mind, Body, And Spirit
So That At The Dawning Of The Great Day
We Will Be Ushered Home
To Dwell Forevermore
With You!

Father,
Let Your Holy Spirit Range Across This Land
And
Help The People Who Profess
The Name Of Jesus Christ
To Forsake Sin And Sinning
And
Fall Upon Your Mercy
As Our Wrongs Against The Truth We Confess!


Lift Us Up
So That We Will Lift You Up
And
Do For Us What We Cannot Do For Ourselves
Is Our Prayer In The Blessed Name Of
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Who
From Sin
And
Eternal Death
Saves!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

TELL YOUR OWN STORY: Life Is A Journey On A Path





With The Following Words
That I here Quote
Is a Story that Every Christian Can Write
I Ask You Fair
To Note Well and Repair
To Your Thinking Closet
And That Story Prepare!

Your Story
My Story
Her Story
His Story
Historical
Hysterical
Miserable
Hurtful
Hateful
True
Will Speak A Word of Caution
To A Traveler Who
Is Stumbling
Bumbling
Fumbling
Tumbling
Maybe Losing a Shoe
And Who Would Be Blessed
By Something
From Someone
Who Knows of Life
A Thing or Two!

The Yesterday Story
Is of Life E'er Past
Pointing to The Life
For Which The Dye Is Now Cast
It can Tell of Past Errors
And Corrections True
And Point to The
Things You Now Hold Close To Easily View!

To Learn a Skill or Lesson
Teach what You Know to Someone Else
Your Knowledge Gains Traction
And Saves Someone False Action
If that Person
Will be a Student True
Willing to Learn from Experience
Without Having to Personally Experience, too!

Story Long
Story Short
Fraught with Danger 
Full of Error
Even Stark Terror
A Best Seller Is Not What's Sought
Just a Story Of A Battle Win After Having Fought!

A Pilgrim's Progress
A Wayfarer's Song
Stranger Danger Message
Horror Story
Mashup of Sin and Song
All are Worthy Writings
No Need for Pretty - Just Truth
Give God Some Glory
Save A Brother Sister's Youth
Sing The Song of Zion
As You Hold Yourself from The World Aloof!

Teach - Don't Preach
Save Another
From  Sinning
Denying
Crying
Lying
Save That Soul from The Life of Sin
Give Your Light The Shining,  and
At The Revealing
Jesus Christ's Love Will You Be Rewarding!
