VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: HAPPY HARVEST: Wheat ... And Darnel!?!

The Call 
Is 
Gone Out For Consecrated Workers For Christ
And
Heart, Mind, Soul and Spirit
Are Holding Hands
As They Choose ... As One Body
- With Love -
To Serve The Eternal God
Their Only Lord!

The Work Is Not Easy
For Conscientious Workers
- Dedicated To Truth And Righteousness -
Watchmen Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth
Tested, Tried ... Committed
Unvaried In Principle
Unworried By Deprivation
Unwearied In Well-Doing
Are Few!

The Fields Are Ripe For Harvest
And
The Horror Of It All Is That
Not Just The Lord Disciples 
Are Working In The Fields!

Lord, Grant Us Grace ...

The Enemy Is Busy

Always Busy
Maliciously Busy
Has Been, Is, Is Going To Be
And
Everybody Knows That There Is Darnel
- Make-Believe Wheat -
Mixed In With True!

Darnel Is Deceitful
And
Likes To Pretend That 
His For-Real Name Isn't Tares Aka Enemy
And
Without Exception, Fear, Or Shame
Causes The Untutored
The Unwary
The Non-Observant
The Lazy
The Laid-Back
Those On The Off-Track
Multitudinous Raindrops From Their Eyes To Weep!
He Loves To Creep!

Darnel's Bossman 

Is

Beelzebub The Bold

Who Would Have Us Believe That

He Has The Householder On Lockdown

- Dead To Rights -

With No Choice
But 
To Rip Up The Whole Planting

Ensuring No Happy Harvest

No Profits To Continue To Invest

And

Hopefully

- The Ultimate Goal -

The Total Destruction Of The Property

Because Of Dross ... No Gold! 

I Should Tell You, Here, That 
Beelzebub The Bold

Is 
A Known Side-Winder

Heart Perfectly Black And Frozen-Wastes Cold! 

Bold, Brazen, Beelzebub 
Had Previously Bitten The Heel Of The Householder
Prince Heavenly Gain!

He Had Thought He Had Had Him

Locked In A Cold Grave! 

He Had Thought He Had Him

Down ... And Out For The Count

But

As Usual

Beelzebub Had Done Imperfect Calculations:

He Did Not In His Heart Carry The One
Cared Not To Save

Had Forgotten Who The Creator Is 
And

Had Forgotten What He, Himself, Had Wrought

By His Lust For Power

His Taste For Lies

His Penchant For Pride
And

His Unwillingness To Repentance 

The Fact That

From The Community Of The Great King 

He Has Been Forever Banished 

Cast Out Into Outer Darkness 

Soon To Forever Die

In The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire!

There Shall Be A Consuming Conflagration 

When Eternal Truth

Shall Cause Finite Error

- In Complete Submission -

By True Confession

Down To Lie ... Down To Die

Never To Rise Up Again 

Never Again To Darken Light
Blight Life
Nor Besmirch The Canopy That Is The Sky! 

Long Story Real Short ... 

Darnel's Big Plan Was A Humungous Bust! 

Real Tares Shed Real Tears

For He Had To Stay In The Field

To Grow With Real Wheat

Until The Day Of The Harvest

When

Prince Heavenly Gain

Had The Angel Reapers

Remove All Darnel-Tares First

And

Bind Them Into Bundles 

To Be Burned! 

There Was Weeping, Wailing

And

Gnashing Of Teeth! 

As For Real Wheat

It Was Gathered Into The Lord Prince's Barns

There To Await

The Joyous Harvest Celebration! 

I Hear Tell That

Glorious Rewards Will Be Handed Out
And
That There Will Be Joy Everlasting
With No Hint Of Sorrow Or Sadness
The Rejoicing To Snuff Out!! 

The Prince Is Become The Welcoming King

The Frowning Judge

And

From Condemning The Evil-Doer

- Grossly Unrepentant -

He Will Not Budge!

Brethren,

Do Not Be A Dry Tare!
Be A Juicy Wheat 
Filled With The Joy Of The Lord
The Light Of Life
The Oil Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Protected By Holy Angels
Comforted By The Holy Spirit
And
Know ... Without A Doubt That
Of An Eternity With Your Lord, God And King
There Is No Time Limit!

Truth ...

Be Thankful And Grateful For
Grace Now And Glory Later!
Bear Your Discomforts
Unto The Lord In Prayer!
Trust The Lord Of Life And Glory
With The Pain And Sorrow In Your Life
By Sharing With Him Your Burden!
He Loves You
And
He Will Take Blessed Care Of You:
This Is No Panacea Bedtime Fairy Tale
Lying To A Child Story!

Trust Jesus Christ The Righteous
Because
He Is The King Of Earth And Glory:
He Gave His Life To Save You!
Trust Him
And
With You 
- The Enduring, Faithful, Obedient
Saints Of God And Christ -
He Promises That
He Will Share His Great, Glorious 
Eternal Glory!

The Grace Of The Eternal God

Is

Sufficient

For

All Who Choose To Believe!

PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, For The Day's Provision ...!

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

As In The World, I Follow Thee!

Grant Me The Blessing

The Peace

The Rest

And Bless Me With All Blessing

So That I Shall In The Eternal Kingdom

Take Up My Prepared Place!

I Give You All Praise!

*****

Heavenly Father,

I Come Before You Thankful

And Grateful That I Can Appear Before The Holy God

Without Fear

To Offer Up Prayers, Praise

And Make My Petitions 

And Just To Be Able To Rest In Thee!

Thank You For This Day's Provision!

Thank You For The Gifts Of Love!

Thank You For Your Personal Sacrifice

Given For Me

So That I May Bask Freely In Your Love!

I Do Not Ask A Boon For Me In This Moment, Lord

But I Ask It, Lord

For Those Who Mourn

Those Anticipate A Mourning

Those Who Lives Are Being Torn Apart

Or Have Been Torn Apart By Violence

By Fire, Flood

Drugs, Religious Persecution

And Even For Those Whose Lives

Are Being Torn Apart By Their Own Hands

Because They Know Not The Lord Christ!

Have Mercy Upon Us!

We Need Our Savior, Father

And I Pray That You Will Open Our Eyes

And Remove That Which Is Causing Our Blindness

And Help Us To See Jesus Christ As He Is

With His Outstretched Hand Reaching Out To Us!

Please Grant Unto Us The Strength To Grasp And Hold

That High And Holy Hand So That We May Be Blessed And Saved!

Father, Please Help Us To Help Ourselves

For We Have No Help But You!

Day Is Dying!

Night Is Calling!

Satan And His Minions Are Upping Their Game In The Fight!

Pity Us Who Believe, Love And Trust You

And Help Us To Be Obedient Always

So That We May Achieve The Purchased Victory Over Sin

And Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home

Where All Is Joy And Peace

Because

Jesus Christ Has Already Paid Our Price

And For Our Sins Sacrificially Atoned!

Please Accept Our Offering Of Prayer

And Grant Us Our Few Petitions

For We Ask All In The Precious Name Of Jesus Christ

The Only One Righteous!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Willful Blindness!?!

Personal Character
And
Living Conduct
- With Nothing Wavering -
Called Profession Of Religion
A. Bold-Faced. Liar.
Politely, Of Course!

He Has Not Kept The Fear Of The Lord Before Him!

Every Body That Was Any Body
That Possessed A Modicum Of Decency
And
Held Aloft Plain Truth
Knew
That The Only Thing That Profession Of Religion Could Prove Was That
He Knew The Inside Of The Church Building
And
Not Very Much Else!

Profession Of Religion Is All Into Forms
Into Fashion
Into Trending Beliefs
Into Profit-Making And Percentages
Into Prestige
And
Into The Cults Of Personality!

Profession Of Religion's High Priest
Is ... Most Assuredly NotJesus Christ The Lord
And
He Has No Use For The Vine
Roots
Branches
The Vine Dressers
NorHush Yuh Mout'
The Husbandman!

For All Practical Aka Profitable Purposes
The Love Of Jesus Christ Does Not Sustain Him!

Profession Of Religion
Is
A SPRP Aka A Spiritual Public Relations Professional ...! 

... And He Real Good 'Bout Spiritedly 
Letting The Publics Know Who Ha'ing Relations!

That That Person's Conduct Is Specious
Is About The Best Only Tribute I Can Pay!

He Has No Back Bone
No Intestinal Fortitude
And
No Gumption
But Always Has A Whole Lotta Gas!

That, That, That .. Person Is All Fronts And Nuh Backs!
Nuff Pretty Talk And Bare Projections.... !

... Salt With No Savor!

Anticipation With No Results!

A Pharisee Who Loves To Decry The Publican
Who Acknowledges His Personal Need Of 
Almighty God's Free-To-All Salvation!

In Short ... 

Profession Of Religion Is Properly Identified As
A Professional Movie-Prop Christian!
He Looks Good In The Scene
But
He Has No Words In The Script
And, YetHe Is Most Often The Spokesperson
The Brand Ambassador
The Point Person
The Rain Maker
And
The Person In The Know Of The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Sooo, Ask Him What Is His Favorite Bible Text!

Ask Him What The Lord Has Done In His Life!

Ask Him How He Is Blessing The Kingdom Of God!

There No Need To Ask Him Anything!
If You Kick His Paling It Is Going To Fall
And
His Wide-Spreading Breadfruit Tree Has Got Blight
And
The Base Has In A Host Of Those Not Contented With A Lil' Bit
Gi'e We De Whole Enchilada Termites!

Waaaaait!
You Smell Smoke!?!

I Sure Enough Do!

The August Personage Of The Hour Just Came Into View!

Quick! Before He Gets Here!

Doer Of The Word!?!

Yes, Hearer Of The Will!?!

Please Help Me To Be All In Jesus Christ! Marry Me
And Let Us Become One In The Lord!

What Joy That Will Be!

A Thousand Times "YES!"

In The Next Minute ... 

Hello, Profession Of Religion!

Grunt! Grunt!

How Are You Doing This Blessed Day!?!

Grunt! Miserable! Grunt! Hot! Groan! Grunt!

Does He Ever Speak A Whole Answer!?!

He Sure Does ... When He Has Important People To Impress!

Translation: You Don't Measure Up!

Why, Thank You!

Suddenly ... 

The King Is Coming!

Are You Washed And Ready!?!

Coming!?! Coming!?!

Coming Where!?!

He's Coming Here!

Here!?! Here!?! 

Why Was I Not Notified!?!

Everybody Was Notified

Including Straker Who Up And Dead

Sunday-Gone Week!

Something Is Very Wrong Here! 

I'm In Charge Of Church Publicity

So, How Come I Don't Know That About Which You Speak ...! 

... Maybe If Through The Good Book

You Would Let Your Fingers Be As Feet

And

Instead Of Indulging Slander

You Would At Jesus Christ

Have Had A Gander! 

You Would Not Now Be Wondering Why

But, Instead

Would Be Looking Toward The Eastern Sky! 

I Don't Have Time To Indulge Book-Look!

I Don't Have Time The Sky To Look Up!

I'm Busy! Real Busy!

I've Got Great Places To See

And People Very Important To Go To And Know

So Indulging In Things Insignificant

Unimportant

Unedifying

Bank Book Balance Not Multiplying

Is Not How I Choose To Spend My Time Spying! 

You Hear! You Hear! 

It's Just As We Feared! 

The King Is Coming Even As We Speak

And

Only Those Who Are Attired With The Garments 
He Has Generously Provided

Will Enter The Banqueting Arena

His Face To See 
And 
At His Feet In Heartfelt Worship To Fall!

Profession Of Religion, I Beseech You!

Please Heed The True Gospel Call!

I Cannot Now Indulge You! 

In A Rush! 

I Must From You Urgently Depart! 

I Don't Understand This Mindset At All!

How Is It Possible To Be A Believer

But Not A Receiver Of The Good Gifts Given 

By The Eternal Faithful God Of All Grace!?!

Brethren, Beware! 

This Mindset Is Only Possible

When Belief In The Lord Christ

Is

An Expedient!

A "Useful Idiot" If You Will

That Serves The Selfish Purpose Of The One

Who Desires The Cure

But

Won't Take The Pill! 

Wow! 

I Like That Analogy!

Blessings Without Confession And Repentance! 

Health And Cure Without Forsaking Sin! 

Treasure In Heaven Without Denying Self, Sin And Satan! 

A Seat At The Banqueting Table

Without A Personal Knowledge

And

The Intimate Walk With Our Only Savior, Lord And Holy God! 

Brethren,

Please Listen To Me!

Profession Of Faith Is Not Possession Of Faith!

Being Religious Does Not Make You A Christian Saved! 

All Light Is Not Illuminating!

All Help Does Not Provide Hope!

And

Not All Who Cry Out "Lord! Lord!" 

Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God!

In Short ... 

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 
With Holy Fear And Trembling

And

Leave Willful Sin Alone: It Has Its Own Reward! 

HAPPY SABBATH + JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS: He's Coming To Earth Again ...! + PRAYER

Jesus Christ
Is
The Anti-Venom For
The Serpent's Sting That Is Sin
AND
Only Those Who Take Advantage Of The Offering
Will ... With The Holy Angels
Get To
- In Heaven -
Grandly, Graciously ... In Gratitude
Gloriously Sing!

Jesus Christ
Is

The Answer For

All Our Questionings
AND
The Antidote To Doubt
AND
To Disbelief
AND
To Distress
Woe And Grief
AND
Only Those Who Accept His Merciful Offering
Will Experience
The Readily Available Relief 
AND
Always Sweet Release!

Jesus Christ
Is

Our Beginning

Our Ending

Our Everything In Between

Birth

AND

Death

AND

Death

AND

Eternity

AND

Only Those Who See

AND

Acknowledge Their Need Of His Love
AND
Sacrificial Care

Will

In Heavenly Pastures Quietly Rest And Feed!

In Jesus Christ Is Joy!

In Jesus Christ Is Peace!

In Jesus Christ Is Justice

For

All Who Believe That

He Is The Answer

The Truth

AND

The Way

The Word Made Flesh

Who Dwelt Amongst Us

AND

The Lord

With Whom We Shall Go To Live
Forever

One Glad And Glorious Great Day!

Got Sin?!

Get Jesus Christ

For

Your Savior

Your Advocate

Your Redeemer

Your True Friend

And

For Own-Sin

Don't Pay!

He ... Of Your Every Need

Takes Patient Care!

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

Jesus Christ

Is

Coming To Earth Again

And

It Could Happen

On Any Soon Coming

Ordinary Day!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

Ever Near

Please, I Beseech You

Prepare My Longing Heart

To Meet My Savior

My Very Best Friend

He That Sticks Closer

Than A Brother

The One On Whom

My Soul Salvation Depends!

Father,
I Declare

My Commitment To Christ

And

I Ask You

To Help Me, Please

To Guard My Heart

So That I

When In The Midst

Of

Life's Expected Conflicts

Do Not From The Way Of Truth

Unto Fables Depart!

Please Be My Guardian

My Guide

My Stay

And

Bless Me With All Blessing

To Stay

On The Straight And Narrow Way!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN.

The Gift Of God!

Simply Put

My God!
Your Need!
His Riches!

MY God!
YOUR Need!
HIS Riches!

My God ... Will Supply
Your Need ... According To
HIS RICHES!

So, What IS YOUR Point!?!

Simple!
Since MY GOD
Gracious
Full Of Compassion
Slow To Anger
AND
Plenteous In Mercy
IS
Supplying YOUR NEEDS
AND
YOU Are Enjoying
Having Your Needs Supplied ...!

... I AM Enjoying The Supply Immensely!

... Don't YOU Think It Is Time
That MY GOD
Become
YOUR GOD!?!

Wellll ... Ahhhh ... Ummm ...!

All Righty, Then!
Struck Dumb!

Obviously Blind!

I Know He Ain't Stupid, So ...!?!

Who Cures What Ails Us?!

The Great Physician!
The Loving Shepherd Of The Sheep!
The Lord Who Made Heaven And Earth! 
God ... Who Is Our Refuge And Strength!

Who Died To Save Us!

Jesus Christ The Righteous!
The Lord Most High!
The Man Of Sorrow Acquainted With Grief!
The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World!

Who Is Jesus!

Even I Know That!

Textbook Jesus Is

My Beginning
My Lord
My Light
My Salvation
My Rock
My Reward
My Hope
My Help
My Way
My Truth
My Life
My End

But, Uhhh ... Do I Have To ... You Know ...
Do The Big "C"!?!

If By Do The Big "C"
You Mean
Call On Jesus
Confess Your Sinsss
Commit To His Way
Cast Away Sinning, Self And Satan
Cast Your Every Care On Christ
Cast Out All Your Idols
Convert To The Way To Eternal Life
Call For The Holy Spirit
Climb The Mountain To God
Carry Jesus With You Everywhere ...!

... That's A Tall, Tall, Order!

We've Got For Ourselves
The Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Omnipathic
Eternal God!

Omnipathic?!

Yup!
Our God, Living

Feels Everything!

Our God, Holy

Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Our Joys
Sorrows Woes
Wants Hurts
Hopes
Losses Gains
Our Sins
Our Salvation
Our Separation From Him
Our Unity With Him!

We Are Nothing Without Jesus Christ The Lord!

We Need To Wait On The Lord
And He Will Renew Our Strength!

Why?!

We Love The Lord
AND
We Keep His Law
His Commandments
Not To Be Saved
But Because We Are Saved ...!

... Through Faith! 

The Gift Of Faith!

He Has Also Us Another Wonderful Gift!
The Eternal Word Says:

... I Could Really Do With Some Peace Right About Now!

I Haven't A Peaceful Night's Rest
In The Last Two Weeks!

Jesus Christ 

IS 

Our Peace
AND
With It 

We Rest In Him!

I Thought That Was Just A Cliche!

Nah, Man!

It Says In The Living Word :

Come
All Ye That Labor
AND
Are Heavy Laden
AND
I, Jesus
Will Give You, Eliashib
Rest
Unto Your Soul!

It's Guaranteed!

You're Sure About That?!

Dead Sure!

Huh?!

Jesus Shed His Innocent Blood
So That You ... Me, Too
Guilty As Sin
Can Find Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Restoration
Hope And Help
Faith And Grace
Mercy And Love
Healing And Salvation
AND
Blessing
When You Trust And Obey
His Word!

I Have Always Had A Problem
With This Trust And Obey Thing!
And This Love Thing ... Huh!

Brother,
There Is No Disappointment In Jesus!
His Love Is Way Beyond Compare!
He Speaks Truth Unvarnished
And All May Trust Him At His Word
Be Ye Man Woman
Elder Or Youth!

Jesus Christ Even Offers The Invitation
For Us To
Reason With Him!

But, But, If He's Willing To Reason With Me
That Must Mean He Is Actually Willing To Hear My Side!!

There's No Need To Sound So Shocked! 

Great Is His Faithfulness!
The Holy God Is Not Variable In His Word
AND
Best Of All
His Mercies Upon Us
Are New Every Day!

Thank You!
You Guys Really Make Almighty God

Jesus Christ 

Sound 

Even Seeem

Like A Real Person
Approachable
And Not Some Unreachable
Unconcerned
Unapproachable Colossus
Who Is Always Angry And Easily Offended!

All I'm Going To Say To You, Is

Call On Him
AND
He Will Show You Great And Mighty Things
That You Know Absolutely Nothing About!

I Totally Believe That I Will!

I Truly Feel Blessed!

Thank You For Sharing!

Thank YOU For Listening!

Thank God For Grace! ...
