VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!

MONEY CAN'T BUY SALVATION: Soap And Water Can't Clean Sin!

Money Can Buy A Lot Of Things In This Life

But

It Can't Buy Class

A Conscience

Nor The Lord Christ! 

We Used To Sing A Song In Young People's Meeting 

Which Contained The Words: 

"If Salvation Was A Thing That Money Could Buy

The Rich Would Live But The Poor Would Die!" 

Thankfully, The Living God Is Not Impressed 

With Our Big Bucks

Or Our Intellect

Or Our Accomplishments 

And, Therefore

He Calls All Of Us Sinners 

And

Invites Us All To Come To Him For Cleansing

For Salvation

By His Saving Grace Known Full And Free! 

Big Or Little, Rich Or Poor, Free Or Slave

All Of Us, Everyone

Is 

Free To Approach The Throne Of Grace Humbly 

In Acceptance Of What Cannot Be Bought, Begged, Or Bartered!

Salvation Can't Be Bought: It's Not For Sale!

Salvation Can't Be Begged: It Is A Gift Of Undying Love!

Salvation Can's Be Bartered: We Have Nothing To Barter With!

What A Mighty And Good God We Serve! 

Beloved, 

Neither Dirty Clothing, Dirty Mind, Nor Prior Dirty Intentions 

Exclude Us From Reaching Out 

To Touch That Holy Hand Of Hope Offering Help And Healing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Pride, Dirt, Or Present Shame For Past Events 

To Stop You From Accepting The Free Gift Of Life Everlasting 

In The Presence Of God Eternal! 

Soap And Water Is Able To Wash Away Everything But Sin 

So Get Thee Hence To Him Whose Innocent Blood 

Cleanses Us Of Every Sin Post Haste! 

You Will Not Be Rejected!

Peace!

My Cup Is Full ... And Running Over!

Two Cups Were On The Table
Choice Was Mine To Make
Life-Lived Would Fill The Chosen Cup
One Would Fill Up To The Brim
Only One  Would Overflow And Lavishly Spill!

The Cup Of Salvation
Includes One's Personal Input Of 
Cast Bread On Water
Living By Faith
Calling On Grace
Falling On The Rock Of Ages
AND
Guidance By Cooperation With Christ
In Obedience To The Living Word!

This Cup
Is The Cup Of Blessing
Is Plain And Clear
Is Often Hard To Bear
BUT
Is To The Faithful Ones
Held Most Dear!

The Cup Of Damnation
Is As Pretty As A Peach
Is Light As A Feather
AND
The One For Which 
Spiritual Prostitutes Reach!

This Cup
Is Blinged Out
It Sings Outs
It Contains All The Self
AND
Sacrilege
AND
Gross Sin
AND
In Cooperation With The Devil
AND
Against Jesus Christ The Lord
It Is With Iniquity
Energetically Filled!

This Cup Of Damnation
Filled With Iniquity
Cannot Overflow!
It Can Only Be Filled Up
AND
None Of Its Possessors
To Highest Heaven
Will Go!

This Cup Is Also The Cup Of Curses
Which Can Only Be Reversed
IF
It Has Not Reached Its Limit
AND
IF
In Recognition Of His Known Need
The Owner Asks The Lord Christ
From The Damned Devil
To Be Forever Freed!

Cup! Cup!

Which Cup Will You Fill?

Damnation?! 

Salvation?!
Will Your Cup Be The Only That Fills
AND
Gushingly Spills?!

Choose Wisely Your Cup, Friend

Remembering

That The Cups "Live" In Your Record

Even If You Die

AND

In The Day Of Vengeance

Cup Don't 
Can't
Won't 
Lie!

All Cup-Bearers Get The Right Reward
Because

Life And Life Record 
Are 
In Perfect Accord!

Just So You Know

The Record-Keeper Is The Rewarder Himself

Jesus Christ The Lord
The One Who Purchased Our Sure Salvation
AND
Giveth Life Everlasting
As The Best Reward!
