HAPPY SABBATH + THE LIFE OF JOB: Something To Really Think About!

Job Had Seven Sons And Three Daughters:
Let's Call Them Seven Perfect Priests
And
Three Good Churches!

Job Had Substance!
By Today's ... Or Any Other Day's Standards
He Was Filthy, Stinking, Rich
With A Striking Difference:
Job Hates Evil!
Job
Is
Perfect In Almighty God's Sight!
Job Fears God After The Godly Sort!
And Is
An Intercessor ... A Man Of Faith And Prayer!

Job Had Seven Thousand Sheep And Three Thousand Camels!
Let's Call The Sheep Clean Sacrifice And Food!
Sheep Are Obedient!

Let's Call The Camels Burden-Bearers And Transportation!
Camels Are Unclean Animals!

Job Also Had Five Hundred Yoke Of Oxen
And
Five Hundred She-Asses!
Oxen Plow The Fertile Soil And Tread Out Grain!
They Are Also Clean Animals
Good For Sacrifice Unto The Holy God!

She-Asses Are Stubborn Burden-Bearers!
Nevertheless, One Will Some Day Carry
The Savior Of Us All!

For A Five And Five Split
Let's Call The Oxen Wise Virgins
And
The She-Asses Foolish Virgins!

Job Is The Great Householder!
Job Had One Adversary!
Job Lost All His Earthly Possessions
Through The Machinations
And
Malevolent Hatred Of The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Satan, The Damned!

Satan Thought ... Planned
Supposedly Foresaw That Decimating Job
- The Patriarch
The High Priest Of The Household -
Of Health, Wealth, And Progeny
That He, Forsaken, Broken, Rejected
And
Obviously Reviled By Heaven
Would Cast Away Faith
Deny Truth
Sell Eternity For Dust
And
Curse Almighty God
And
Die The Death
The Second Death
Through His Own Very Personal Sin!

Surprise, No Surprise ...

Job Kept His Integrity!
Job Prayed, Pleaded, Beseeched:

Though You Slay Me

Yet I Will Trust You!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives!

I Will Be Satisfied

When I Awake With Your Likeness!

Last Day Events ...

The Seventh Church
The Laodicean Church:
The Judging Of The People:

War Shall Be Over The Seventh-Day Sabbath 

Aka Worship!

Three Adversaries:
Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs
Representing
The Dragon
The Beast
The False Prophet
Aka Satan
Roman Catholicism
And
Apostate Protestantism In America!

The Church Is Waiting!

All Are Asleep!

Some Went To Sleep Prepared!

Some Went To Sleep Unprepared!

The Loud Cry Sounds:

The Bridegroom Is Coming!!!

All The Church Of God Is Awakened!

Five Wise Virgins ... Having Kept The Faith That Cannot Fail

Have Extra Oil ... The Holy Spirit

To Refill, Replenish, Their Lamps 

Which Had Gone Out While They Slept! 

The Five Foolish Virgins

Having Not Fortified Their Souls

Their Stores Of Grace With The Oil Of Gladness

From The Spirit Of Truth

Have No Reserves With Which To Re-Light Their Lamps! 

They Are Left Bereft 

When The Wise Virgins Wisely Refused

 To Share Their Reserved Oil

Least There Not Be Enough For Any Of Them! 

The Unwise Virgins Must Depart The House Of Hope

And

Hope To Acquire Holy Oil From

The Sellers Who Make Oil, Light, Truth Their Trade! 

While The Five Are From Safety Absent

The Bridegroom Entered His Father's House

And

His Door Was Closed

Because

All Who Were Invited

All Who Had Accepted His Invitation

All Who Chose To Be In Attendance

All Who Were Attired To Fit The Occasion

All Who Were To Attend Him

And

Present There ... As Stipulated 

Were Within

And

Blessed ... Forever! 

Sad To Say ... 

The Five Unwise Virgins

Returned To The House Of Blessing

And

Found The Door Closed! 

These Five Knocked With Determination! 

Their Knock Was Answered With Dedication! 

The Bridegroom Answered Their Cry! 

The Answer Gutted Them:

Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You! 

And

They Died The Death

In Outer Darkness:

Eternal Separation From The Eternal God

Whose Grace And Mercy They Misused 

By Their Own Personal 

And 

Base Neglect! 

Salvation

Comes

Before Sin

Before Self

Before Satan!

Jesus Has Seven Churches
Aka Church Ages!
Jesus Had Three Temptations!
Jesus Spent Three Days In The Tomb!

Like All Who Will Enter The Great Household On High
We Must ... Like Job
Lose All To Gain All!

The Grace Of God
Given Freely To Every Human
Was Not Cheap To Acquire!
Almighty God The Father
Gave His All ... His Perfect Treasure
To Take All Of Our Sin
So That We ... Believing
May Receive All That

Is 

Jesus Christ's In Glory!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Cheap Grace Is Not Grace!
Salvation Without A Changed Life
Is
Damnation!
Blessings Without Faith And Belief Are Base!

Beloved,

No Man Shall Enter Heaven By Default
Because Of A Name
Through An Affiliation
Or With An Offering Of Coins!

Heaven Or Hell
Is
Accessed By Choice
By Word, Deed ... Action:
Your Choice!
Your Decision!
Your Destination!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
Won't Force You
And
Satan The Adversary Can't Force You
To Decide One Way Or Another!

Be An Informed Consumer
Because
A No-Decision Decision
Is
A Decision For Self, Sin, Satan
And
The Second Death!

Be Wise!
Be Well!
Be Blessed By The Light Of Truth That
Is
The Gospel Of Grace!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

Let The Holy Spirit

Teach You

Feed You

Correct You

And

Direct Your Life ... Today!

CLOTHING: True Christian Character + PRAYER: Bless Us With Wisdom, Lord!

 

The Preserved 
And 
Eternal Word Of Almighty God 

Makes A Clear Lie Of 
Modern Christianity's Mortal 
And 
Corruptible Word That Says That 

All Christians In Good And Regular Standing 
With The God Of Glory 

Are Rich

Increased With Goods 
And Have Need Of Nothing!

Aka They Own Houses, Lands, Cars

Unconscionably Expensive Fashionable Wardrobes

Live Lives Of Molasses-Like Ease 

And

Have No Troubles 

Save The "Effort" Required To Lift A Fork

Move A Glass

Raise A Leg

And

The Biggie
Change Clothing
And 

Count Cash! 

Beloved, 

Clothing

Is 

Synonymous With Character 

And

Any Soldier Of The Cross 

Who Chooses ... In This Battle For Their Soul

To Be At Ease

Catered To

Pampered

Praised

And 

Puffed Up 

Should Know That They Are Cruising For A Bruising 

Aka A Burning Bath 

At The Lake Of Fire That Has No Club House 

Or Perks Of Membership! 

Be Wise ...

Let's Be Faithful To The Holy One

Humble In Our Walk

Obedient To The Call

And 

Living In The Everlasting Will Of Him Who, Alone, Saves! 

Let's Clothe Ourselves In The Character Of Christ 

And 

Reject Self

Satan's Favorite Deceive-Man Device! 

Vanity Costs

But

Humility Before Christ Eternally Pays:

Learn The Difference! 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Please Help Us

And

Bless Us With Wisdom And Understanding

To Adeptly Use

The Knowledge You Give Into Our Hands

For The Eternal Profit

Of

Ourselves And Others! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Please Bless Us With Your Peace

 That

Passes Human Understanding

So That We May Find

Our Soul's Rest In You Alone!

AMEN!!!

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

Shirking One's Duty

To Party And To Play

Is A Punishable Offense:

Let's Get Our Priorities In Order!

BLIND AND ASLEEP: The Laodicean Church + Prayer: We Have Done Evil, Lord!

We Are Living In The Laodicean Aka The Final Church Age! 

Laodicea Means The Judging Of The People! 

The Lord Calls Us Wretched, Miserable, Poor
Blind
And 
Naked 
And 

Asks Us To Buy Eye-Salve From Him 
So That We May See! 

We Are Also Urged To Awaken From Sleep! 

Blind And Asleep 
Are The Only Two Ways By Which We Cannot See! 

The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect

It Enlightens The Mind

And

It Makes Simple People Wise ... Unto Salvation! 

Light Allows Us To See

And

Acquiring The Wisdom

And 

Character Of Christ 

Leads Us To Eternal Life! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Without The Law 
We Would Not Know What Is Sin 

Nor Would We Know 

Who Is Almighty God! 

The Law Of God Is A  Blessing To Us! 

Let Us Choose To Obey It Always
 So That We May ... At The Time Appointed

Eternally Live! 

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

I Come In Faith!

I Pray For Each And Every One Of Us This Day

And Ask You, Dear Father

In Your Safe Fold To Help Us To Stay!

Without Your Leading, Lord

We Shall Surely Go Astray 

And

Deny Ourselves That Wonderful Blessing That Says

For Our Own Sin

We Shall Not Pay!

We Are Of The Family Of Man

And

The Son Of Man

Your Beloved Son

Is

The Living God Before Whom We Shall Surely Stand

For

He Is Our Savior, Redeemer, Friend

Judge And King! 

We Need Him, Father!

We Are Jesus Christ's Property Twice

By Creation

And

By Redemption

And

We Must Give To Him

An Accounting

Whether We Live By His Law

Or Are Boldly Always Flouting It!

Help Us To Humble Ourselves, Father

For We Desire To See Him In Peace!

We Have Done Evil, Lord!

We Are Doing Much Evil In Your Sight

But

You Had And Have Pity On Us

And

You Provide Eye-Salve To Cleanse 

To Heal Our Eyes

And

To Give Us Spiritual, Seeing, Eye-Sight!

Please Forgive Us Our Trespasses!

We Acknowledge Our Sin

And

We Confess And Sincerely Repent!

Help Us To Do That Which Is Right

In Your Holy Sight

That Which Blesses Us

And

Most Assuredly

That Which Will Always Please Your Heart!

We Need A Blessing, Lord!

Father, 

On Our Own

We Are Weak

Physically Weak And Weak-Willed

And

We Always Fall Back On Our Carnal Nature:

Pity Us And Help Us In You To Rest For Strength

And

To Rest In You To Let Your Perfect Peace 

Our Wayward, Raging, Hearts Still!

Father, 

We Are In A Wretched Estate

Poor, Lost, Lonely

Miserable, Alone

Covered In Sin

Spiritually Naked, Afraid

Sorrowing, Dying

In Need! 

We See Our Need, Father! 

We Need Our Savior, King Jesus

Who, Alone, Is Our Hope

Our Help

Our Sure Salvation! 

Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

Help Us To Fix Our Minds On You! 

Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

Help Us To You To Be True! 

Father, 

Thank You For Showing Us

What Holy Love Is

What Loving Sacrifice Feels Like

And

For Showing Us Your Heart

And

For Giving Us Your Self

In The Person Your Dear Son

Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

We Can Never Repay You, Father

But

With Thankful, Grateful, Hearts

We Give Unto You

Our Purchased Selves

Our Personal Will

And

Make It Public

- A Badge Of Honor -

That Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is Our Portion

And

Our Sole Choice Now

While Life Be Spared

And

By Your Grace

Our Everlasting Estate! 

Father,

Help Us To Be Faithful

Living With Certain Hope

Trusting You With Our Whole Heart

- Nothing Wavering -

Denying Carnal Eyesight

And

Trendy Emotionalism

And

Choosing Ever And Always

To Stand On The "Thus Saith The Lord God!" 

Father, 

Pity Us Who Pray! 

Have Mercy On Us Who Look Longingly

For The Great Day

And

Bless Us Who Walk Wisely

On The Strait And Narrow Way! 

Please Help Us To Share Our Faith

With Loving Kindness

And

Christ-Like Humility

For We, Accepting The Call

Choose To Be Ambassadors For Christ

And

Have A Burden Upon Our Hearts

For Our Brethren The World Around! 

We Praise You, Lord! 

We Glorify Your Holy Name, Father! 

We Find Our Rest In You

And

We Plead For Your Continued Blessings

Upon Our Lives 

As We Live And Work To Share The Good News! 

Please Help Us To Do The Good We Can

While We Can

Where We Can

And For Whomever We Can! 

Lord, We Ask In Faith

And Beseech You To Please Grant Unto

The Will And The Strength

To Strive For The Purchased Victory Over Sin 

So That We May Be Saved At The Last Trumpet! 

Thank You For Hearing

And

Thank You For Answering The Prayer Of Faith

For We Ask All In The Blessed Name Of The Holy Jesus! 

We Love You, Lord! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN! 

LUKEWARM CHRISTIANITY: Harmless Chameleon!?!

There Is No Pride In Prayer!
There Is No Desperation In Godly Fear!
There Is To Be No Reluctance In Sorrow For Sin
Nor In Praying And Saying:

Father,
I Need You!
Please Come And Dwell Within!

Neither A Reluctant Worshipper
Nor A Reluctant Worker
Are A Blessing To The Eternal God
AND
Are No Blessing To Themselves
AND
I Say Unto, Brethren
You Make Yourselves Available Playgrounds For Satan
- He Who Desires The Worship Of The Eternal God -
When Lukewarmness Is The Highest Temperature
Evident In Those Who Confess The Lord Christ
AND
Energetically Say To The World:

We Love And Serve The Holy God!

Wait A Minute!
Isn't Lukewarmness The Laiodicean
The Last Christian Church's Backslidden Condition?!

Jesus Is Going To Spit Them Out!

Jesus Don't Like Middling Tea!
They Better Change To Hot
Or Even Cold ...!

... How Can You Even Think To Say "Or Cold?!"

I Did Not Say It First!
Jesus Christ Did!

But, Why?!

Think About It ...

If You're Hot
The World Knows You're Hot!
You're Doing The Lord's Business
And Happy, Truly Happy, About It!

If You're Cold
The World Knows You're Cold!
You're Doing The Devil's Business
And Happy, Truly Happy, About It ...!

... You Need To Bite Your Tongue
On Both Sides
At The Same Time For Say That!

For What?!
For Speaking The Truth?!

Nobody Could Possibly Be Happy
Or As You Said, Truly Happy
Doing The Devil's Business!

Ladye, You Need To Take That Up
With The Lord
For
I Hear And See People Humming ...!

... Singing And Snapping Fingers ...!

... When They're Doing To Unsuspecting Others
Devilishly Dirty Deeds!

I Hear That!

Don't Go So Fast! 

What About The Lukewarm People?!

A Lukewarm Christian
Is 

A Creature Truly, Truly, Truly, Dangerous! 

This Is A Chameleon!

Don't Like Chameleons!

Could You For Once Use A Whole Sentence?!

Sure, I Can!
I Do Not Like Chameleons!
They Are Deceitful Creatures
And A Lukewarm Christian
Is A Creature Likewise
Best To Be Avoided
For
Their "Walk" With God
Is Nothing But A Lie!

Look In The Book!!

Indeed!

Revelation 3:

Rich And Increased With Goods
And Have Need Of Nothing!

Now That Is A Lie
If I Even Know What Constitutes A Lie!

Indeed!

Think About It ...

Who For A Converted Christian
Walking
Waiting
Working
For The All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
All-Feeling God
Could Or Would Ever Say:

"Lord, I Don't Need Anything ... From YOU

My Creator
My Provider
My Sustainer
My Savior
My Redeemer
My One True Friend?!

No One!!

A Lukewarm Christian Is Like
An In-And-Out Burger
A New York Garbage Plate Special ...!

... All De Worl' Up In Dey!

Indeed
AND
That Is Why Jesus Christ Says:

You Are Wretched
Miserable
Poor, Blind
AND
Naked!

All Uh De Business Dun Expose!

And, How!

Brethren,
It's Worse Than You Think!

Things Don't Make A Man Rich
AND
A Lukewarm Christian Is Like
A Manchineel Tree In An Apple Orchard

Strychnine In Drinking Water

A New Penny Covered In Krazy Glue

A Tool Of The Devil!

Indeed!

Frazer?!

Yes, Percy?!

You Got Any Other Word Beside ... Indeed?!

Indeed, I Do! 

If You're Cold

The Lord Can Still Do Something For You!
You May Be Convinced To Cross Over

But If You're One Of Those Bright Lights

Who Don't Need God

- Or Anything From God -

You're Out Of Luck

Because

You Will Have Pyrite ... Fool's Gold

Instead Of Imperishable Gold

And

Habitation In The Everlasting Fold!

Witness!!!

If You're Up

You're Up!

If You're Down

You're Down!

By If You're Only Half Way Down

You're Neither Up Nor Down!

(Childhood Verse)

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

A True Christian

Cannot Reside

In No Man's Land

Between

Faith And Doubt

And

Still Gain Eternal Prosperity!

Complacency Con & Contempt Com!

Angels

Cannot Remain Where People

Do Not Want

Jesus Christ's Presence

AND

Do Not Notice

His Absence!

They Were Cussing!

Nothing To Lose!

Last Ditch Effort!

Nothing To Gain!

Going All In!

No Turning Back!

Moving Forward!

Stop Looking Back!

                                     Why?

How?

                     If?

                                                      What For!

I Should Have Known!

You Never Cared!

Selfish!

Idealistic!

Unbending!

Unyielding!

You Don't Understand!

You Don't Love Me?!

I Hate You!

I Pity You!

They Never Raise Their Voices!
- Loud Voices Are Despised! -
They Use Complete Sentences
AND
They Want To Sever All Ties!

They've Known Each Other Forever!
Complacency!
Contempt!
BUT
That Is Proving Problematic
For
Where Ever Complacency Went
Contempt
Energetically Followed!
That Is How Their Time Is Spent!

Stop Following Me!
Stop Calling Me!

You're Such A Mellow Fellow!
It's Amazing How With Life You Cope!
You Take All Things For Granted
And You Look To Be Sauced Up
And Ever Always On Dope!

I Can't Say The Same For You!
You're Always Snide
Even Angry!
You Say Everyone Is Beneath You
And You Are Always Looking
For The Least Excuse To Vent!
You're So Twisted That You Are Bent!

Brethren,

So In The World
So In The Church
Is Complacency
Is Contempt!

A Complacent Christian
Is One Who
- Ultimately -
Will Hold Jesus Christ In Contempt!
This Is The Truth Of The Gospel
AND
Reliable
And So I Can Promise You!

An Analogy Is In Order:

Two Things That Are Not Complacent
Are
Jello And Hot Tea!
Jello Is Cold!
Hot Tea Is, Well, Hot!

Revelation's Laodicean Church
Is Representative Of
Our Church's Behavior Today
Which Is Lukewarm
Complacent
AND
Taking For Granted Its God
AND
This Church
- Unchanged -
Is Decidedly Marked
For
The Spewing Out!
AND

This, Dear Ones, Is A Call Out!

Those Laodiceans
They Have Need Of Nothing!
They Are Increased With Goods!
They Talk Of The Lord!
They Walk With The Devil
AND
They Don't Even Realize
That Jesus Christ
AND
The Holy Angels
Have Departed
Their Well-Heeled, Rising, Neighborhood!

Theirs Is Not A Teachable Spirit!
They're Into Platitudes
Seminars
Retreats
AND
Wiseman Sage Gurus
AND
They Have Not The Required Time
True Gold
Eye Salve
Nor Clean White Raiment
To Purchase From The Living, Loving, Lord
For
Wittingly Unwittingly
They're In The Pay Of The Fraud
AND
All The World
- Suitably Appalled -
Can See
Their Naked Short Backs
Indented Sides
AND
The Unmentionable Portions
That They Can't Cover Up
AND
Definitely Can't Hide!

Awareness
Is A Must
To Avoid Complacency!
Choke Complacency
AND
Contempt Will Dead Be!

I Am Asking My Jesus
To Keep Me In The Realm Called Aware
AND
To Engender In Me
A Sense Of Urgency
So That Christ's Condemnation
Of Me
Will Not Ever Be My Fear!

Complacency
AND
Contempt
Are Completed
By Condemnation
AND
Those Condemned
Are Damned
AND
Cast Into 
The Eternally Lost
Conflagration!

Please Do Not Allow
Lack Of Care
AND
Consideration
To Cost You 
Your Christ-For-Me Commission
For

There Is Nothing
Too Big Too Small
That We Can't Carry To God!

If God Is God Don't Abuse Him!
If You Are God
Please Know That You Will Lose
For
You Can't His Will
Nor His Way
Ever Hope To Deflect
Or
Confuse!

Flowers Look Up
AND
The Birds Give Vent To Their Praise
Of Our God
AND
So The Question Must Be Asked:

"What Is Our Excuse?!"

For Not Cheerfully Loving
AND
Doing For Our God The Same!

We For Whom Is Prepared
The Great Reward
Of The Everlasting Day
Need To

Call To Jesus!
Walk To Jesus!
Talk To Jesus!
Think On Jesus!
Go With Assurance To Jesus
AND
Just Be ... With Jesus
AND
Do It Daily
Moment By Moment
Gladly
AND
Stop Behaving
Self-Righteous
AND
Acting Out So Badly!

Complacent Contempt

AND

Contemptuous Communication

Are Fruit

From

Satan's Poisoned Planting Ground!

Please Avoid Them

At All Costs

Or

In The Day Of Jesus Christ

Be Assured

That You Will Be Eternally Lost!

Count The Costs

And

Humbly

Passionately

Trust The Lord Jesus Christ

And

Give Satan And His Kind

The Get-Thee-Behind-Me

Get Lost Toss!
