There is No Sanctification Without The Holy Spirit!

Never Follow The Multitude

To Hear Evil

To See Evil

Or

To Do Evil!

Sanctification ... Our Setting Apart
Our Being Made Holy 
Is 
The Work Of One's Lifetime 
And 
Is Accomplished By All The Members Of The Godhead 
Who Said In The Beginning: 

"Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image

After Our Own Likeness!" 

Our Sanctification 
Is 
By God The Father
In Jesus Christ 
And 
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Judgment 
When All Of Our Works
- Our Doings In The Flesh -
Shall Be Revealed 
Whether They Commend Us To God And Glory 
Or 
Condemn Us To Hell's Damnation! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Join With Those Who Lift Up The Father
Denigrate The Son 
And 
Deny The Holy Spirit 
By Calling Him "It" 
And 
Rejecting His Personhood By Making Him An "Essence!?!" 

Almighty God

Cannot

Deny Himself!

Creation Made It Clear That 
The Holy Spirit Moves 
And 
Works! 

Father God Made It Clear That 
Without The Spirit's Indwelling 
Men Become Vessels For Satan's Use And Abuse!

The Holy Spirit Came On Jesus As A Dove
And 
Jesus Christ Made It Clear That 
It Is By His Father's And His Own Desire That 
The Holy Spirit Was Sent To Dwell In And Amongst Us 
As Comforter, Teacher, Guide 
And 
Corrector! 

The Rubber Is About To Meet The Road
And
Now Is Not The Time To Be Unsure
Or Ignorant Of Who Is The Lord God Almighty
Holy, Just, Kind, Loving, Giving And Forgiving!

Let Us Not Deny Almighty God By Denying The Holy Spirit! 
Father, Son And Holy Spirit All Participate In Our Salvation
Participated In Our Creation
And
Shall Participate In The Day Of Our Final Redemption
At Jesus Christ's Second Coming!

We Need The Father,
The Son 
And 
The Holy Spirit! 
The House Belongs To The Father!
The Son Is The Door
And 
The Holy Spirit 
Is 
The Key In The Door Of The House! 

Remember ...

Godhead Three 
And 
All-Life-We 
   In Total Cooperation
      As Enduring Faithful Christians! 
We Shall Be Sanctified 
For We Shall Be Like Our Jesus 
Who Bought Us Back From Sin!

We Are Going Home To Our Father God 
And 
The Holy Spirit Is Here Helping Us 
To Get There Safely! 
Cooperate!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Law ... IMMUTABLE!

I Don't Care!
I Live Under Grace!
I Can Do Whatever I Want
And I Shall Still Be Saved Into The Eternal City!

Get A Hold Of Yourself!
You Know That You Are Talking Rubbish
So Please Stop!

Why Should I!?!
Grace Is Unmerited Favor
So I'm Good To Gone Home!

Darcy, Let Me Ask You A Question!
Did Jesus Christ Die To Save You!?!

Of Course, He Did!

Why Did He Die To Save You!?!

He Died Because Me And My Kind
Broke The Law Of God!

Couldn't Someone Else Do That Job!?!

Of Course, Not!
Innocent Blood Was Needed
And Jesus Christ Was The One Truly Innocent!

So Does That Mean That 
You Can Continue To Break The Law Of God!?!

Sure Does!
No, Wait!

I'm Waiting!
Can You Break The Law Of God
- At-Will -
Since Jesus Christ Paid The Price
For Your Personal Sin!?!

I'm Not Under Law!
I'm Under Grace!

So ... My Unwise Friend
For What Did Jesus Christ Die
And
Did He Really Have To Die!?!

He Had To Die!
He Personally Had To Die To Save Me!

Really!?!
So Does That Not Then Make The Law Of God
Immutable!?!

Huh!?!

Tell Him In Little Words, Willard!

Be Nice, Ferdy!

Why Should I!?!
He's Been Tormenting Us Forever
Calling Us Fools For Following The Law Of God!

Ferdy, Please Set The Example
That Is, Light A Candle For The Devil
And 
Make It A Good One!
Never Follow Fashion
If You Hope To Live In Peace With The Lord!

I'm Sorry!
It's Just That ...!

... I Know!
Just Remember: 

Christ's Character

Comes Before

Redemption's Elevation!

I'm Sorry!

Back To The Topic At Hand ...

If Jesus Christ
Had To Die To Save Man
- To Return Man To The Bosom Of The Father -
For Breaking The Law Of The Eternal God
Then
The Law Of The Eternal God
Is
As Is The Eternal God
That Is, Immutable
Unchanging
Enduring
Everlasting
Aka Eternal
No Matter What To Fallen Man
Says The Wily Fraud!

Lest You Who Elevate Yourselves
Above The Law Of God
Think That The Law Of God
Is
Yeah Or Nay
As Becomes The Desire Of
The Satan-Inspired Demi-God
Please Recognize The Fact That 
Since The Plan Of Redemption
- Organized Before The Creation Of The World -
Had To Be Activated
It Should Tell All And Sundry That
In The Life Of Fallen Man
The Law Of God Should Always Ever Assuredly
Take Primacy
Take First Place!

Please, Tip Toe ...

Think Carefully  
You Who Decide Which Part Of The Law
"Works Best" For You
And
Know That The Transcript Of God's Character
Unequivocally Says:

Wait A Minute!
I've Never Heard That Scripture!

Well, My Brother
You Just Heard It
And, Now
You Are Without Excuse
- Before The Eternal God -
For The Contrary Path 
You've Heretofore Been Taking!

And ...

Just In Case You Decide 
In The Alexandrian Philosophers' Wisdom That
You Have Doubts
King Solomon, Himself, Said:

Jesus Christ, Himself, Asked His Father
In Behalf Of His Brethren, To:

I've Got A Question For You:

What Does Preserved Mean!?!

Anything That Is Preserved
Is Something Made To Last
Beyond What Is Considered A Normal Life Span!

In That Case
- And Based On Your Response -
You Should Know That
The Word Of God Is Preserved!
King David Said:

The Word Of God 
Is 
Truth
And 
Just In Case You're Still Doubting
Hear King David, Again:

Would You Be So Bold
As To Denigrate The Word Of The God
Who Says That His Word 
Is
Magnified Above His Name!?!

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick!

Just Try To Be Sick Of Sin!
You'd Get A Better Result!

Let's Just Cut To The Chaste!
Give Him Timothy!

Oh, Yeah!

Oh, Man!
There Goes My Old Neighborhood!

That's Good!
It Needed Razing To The Ground!

Brother,
Let Me Give You A Word Of Caution:

What You Feel
What You Think Is Personally Right
What You Want To Do For Personal Comfort
Is
Never Above The Word Of God!

God Said "It!"
Believe "It!"
Let "It" Be Settled In Your Heart
Because
To Obey 
Is 
Better Than To Sacrifice!

Your Present Walk 
Is 
Leading You Toward A Monumental Sacrifice!
Avoid It Because It Is Avoidable!

Do Not Indulge In Presumptuous Sin!
You Are Not Against The Holy God Winning!
You Are A Pawn Of The Devil!
A Chess Piece In The Great Controversy
So
Be Wise Unto Salvation
And
Over To The Living God
Give Your Heart's Lease!
For You
He Is Sure Sin Relief!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICES: C2G Or C2D

The Weary Pilgrims 

To Glory Go
When The Savior Comes To Reign
For
They Will Have Cast Sin Away
AND
Doffed
Its Beguiling Chains!

Earth For Them 

Would Have Been
A Vale Of Bitter Tears
Where Character Shaped By Sin
Was Reshaped
By The Lord Of Light
As They Battled Against The Devil's Darts
AND
In Jesus' Name
Fought The Good Fight

Never Looking For Earthly Fortune

Fame

Or Vainglorious Acclaim!

Many A Dear Saint
Would Have Perished
For The Faith
But
Their Blood - Good Seed -
Many A Good Tree Raised
And Borne Fruit
- Good Fruit -
Fit 

For The Table Of The Great King
AND
None Will Know
The Magnitude Of The Harvest
Until In The Glorious Kingdom

Will Be Revealed
All And Everything!

Sound The Trumpet
Ye Watchmen Of The Lord!
Give The Battle Cry!
Soon Is Coming
The Great Day Of Reward!

Now Is The Appointed Time
For Man 

To Awake From Sleep!
Now Is Time 

To Make Known
Who Will Be God's Good 

AND

Faithful Sheep!

Teach The Word
In Season Or Not!
Tell The Glad Tidings
Let Not Your Voice Drop!
Tell All Of The Blessing
- The Blessing Of Peace And Rest -
AND

Encourage The Weary
For Now Is Not The Time
For Revelry
Nor The Debauched Carnal Fest!

The King Is Coming
For You!
For Me!
Are We Washing Our Garments?
Are Our Hearts For Eternal Life 

Being Made Ready?

Are We Trusting In The Lord
Enduring The Test

AND

The Hard Trials

As We Wait

- Patiently -

On The Reward?

Are We Resting
In The Truth For All Ages
Or
Are We Fallen Away
Unto Comfortable Fables

AND

Bold Lies?

Are We Permitting Self To Be Beguiled?

Each Heart Must Answer
All
For To Bless
Or To Curse
His Own Soul!
Christ Does Not Condemn Us
For

Our Works
Do Determine
Our Own Soul's Ultimate Goal!

Commendation!

Condemnation!

Glorification!

AND

Damnation!

All Are Choices

That Man MUST Make

Free

Of Coercion

Intimidation

Or Fear

Free As A Bird Of Choice

Free As A Bird At Will

To Catch That upDRAFT

DOWNdraft Of Air

That Will Bear The Soul Aloft

Or

Land Him In The Clear!

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

I Choose

The Lord Jesus Christ!

Will You?!

HAPPY SABBATH + A Comfortable Lie!

Hard-To-Figure
Full-Of-Contradictions
Delicate
I-Can-Take-It and
Whatever
Were In A Family Meeting.

Things Were Well and Good
For There Was Big News To Shared By Lord-It!

BUT ...

There Is - Always - A "Big Problem!"

The Big Problem Is That For Certain People
Who Shall Remain Unnamed
Telling The Plain Truth
Always Ended Up - Allegedly -
Causing Real Pain!

After The Last Family Meeting
And The Resultant Kerfuffle
It Had Been Decided
That For The Best In Family Unity
Each Person
- Before The Official Business Was Presented -
Had To Pick-a-Slip
Which Would Dertermine
How He Or She
Would Receive The News That Affected Them Personally:

1. Hurt-Me Honestly!
2. Easy Lie!
3. Hard Truth!
4. Spit It Out!
5. Polish It!
6. Politics, Please!
7. Diplomacy All The Way!

Every Man's Decision Was To Be Respected
AND
Positions Were Never To Be Denigrated!

Everything Was Going Along Swimmingly!
Everyone Had Made Their Decision
AND
Positions Had Been Taken Up!

Delicate Was In Rapture!
She Had Been Told That She Was Going To Get Real Money
And Had Been Handed A Large Envelope!

Delicate Indelicately Hopped Up
And Started Singing And Dancing
"I'm In The Money!
Don't Hate Me,  Honey!"

I-Can-Take-It
Had Chosen The Slip For Hard Truth
And Had - At The End Of Lord-It's Recital
Which Had Left Him Looking
A Bit Green Around The Gills -
Received A Small, White, Window Envelope.
He Shuddered ... And Hung His Head.

At The End Of Lord-It's Announcements
Denouncements
Reports, and
Disbursals
Everybody As One Gathered Around
Delicate and I-Can-Handle-It To Congratulate
And Commiserate ... As Appropriate.

I-Can-Handle-It Opened His Small Envelope
And, After Reading The Contents, Shouted:
"Hallelujah!
Thank You, Jesus!"
And Then Laughed 
And Laughed 
Until He Cried Tears!
Happy Tears!
Things Were Not As Bad As Had Been Presented In The Assembly!
He Was Going To Be Better Than Okay!

Everybody Waited 
Excitedly 
As Delicate Opened Her Large Overstuffed Envelope
With Her Hands Trembling With Anticipation
Over Her Good Fortune!

Four Large Stacks of $100 Bills!
Delicate Gulped!
Delicate Gasped!
Delicate Screamed!
Delicate Kissed The Stacks!
Delicate Raucously Danced, and
In True Champion Style
The Always Delicate Delicate
Energetically Slammed One Money Stack Into The Ground!

The Paper Band On The Stack Burst!
And ... Well ...

The Inside Contents of The Stack Was ... FAKE!

In Fact
Only The Top 
And Bottom 
Of Each Stack Was Real!

Delicate Stumbled!
Delicate Dropped Unceremoniously To The Floor
And Dissolved Into Gut-wrenching Tears.

Delicate's Penchant For Being Allegedly Protected
From The Ugly Truths In Her Life
Had Finally Become Her Undoing! 

A Comfortable Lie

Cannot 

Conceal 

The Uncomfortable Truth!

*******

Likewise ...

Choosing To Believe 
The Comfortable Lie

That Almighty God 
Is
A Myth

Will Not Make 
His Very Real Appearing 
The Desirable Untruth! 

*******

Accepting The Word Of Truth 
That Life On Earth

Serving The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is Hard, Dangerous, and Deadly

Will - For The Victorious Overcomer -
Be Forgotten 
In The Face 
Of

Heaven's Rewards
On The Day Of Revelation!

*******

PRAY, BELIEVE AND PLOD ON!!

*******

Remember: TRUTH IS PLAIN!!

Did Van Man Tell You Of The Clothing Restrictions?

All Identification Is Personally Checked In The Lamb's Book
You Must R.S.V.P.
YOU Must Commit To The Way for
THAT IS The Only Method
If You Don't Want to Personally Pay! 

Personally Pay For What?! 

I Personally Paid For My Own Ticket! 
I Personally Paid My Own Entrance Fee
Maybe Not On The Prescribed Channel
But That's How It's Done
By Trippers,  Rockers and Rollers Like Me! 

Not The Way!  
Not The Way! 
Therein Is Sin
AND
Gross Decay! 

Come On! 
It's Just A Party! 
You Get Your Mark
On Your Head or Your Hand, and
You Dance and You Drink
