VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Is No Ascent Without Assent!

Mark 12:30 KJV

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Pakka!?! 

Yes, Mama Preach! 

I Only Have One Solid Piece Of Advice For You, And I Sincerely Plead With You That You Do Not Cast It Aside, Or Allow Anyone, Even Someone Using A Silken Cord Of Affection, To Encourage You To Set Aside This, The Lord's Saving Grace To And For His People! 

I'm Listening, Mama Preach, And I Give You My Word, My Bond, As A Committed-To-Christ Christian! 

Very Well, Pakka, See To It That You PACA! 

What!?! Are You Making Fun Of My Name, Mama Preach!?! 

Far From It, Pakka! 

Okay Then! I'm Listening! 

Listen Up Everybody! 

Question One: If The Lord Sends You Somewhere, What Do You Have!?! 

Yes, Henley! 

We Have His Permission To Go Where He Sent Us! 

Question Two: You Have Been Instructed To Do Something By The Lord! What Have You Received!?! 

Yes, Cloristine! 

We Have Received The Lord's Authority To Perform As Prescribed! 

Question Three: When You Choose To Cooperate With The Holy Spirit In Doing The Father's Will, What Have You Done!?! 

Yes, Monty! 

Mama Preach, When We Cooperate With The Holy Spirit, We Give Assent Aka Agree Aka Consent To Be Used Of The Holy God! 

Question Four: While We Are Willing To Be Used By And For The Eternal God, We Often Feel Less Than Adequate To Fulfill The Task We Are Called To Perform! When We Pray About The Matter, What Are We Effectively Doing!?! 

Yes, Charlie! 

Mama Preach, I Am Truly Glad To Inform You That When I Pray About Such Things, I Am Blessed To Ask The Lord For His Ready, Willing, And Able-To-Give-Me Assistance! 

Thank You, Brethren! 

Beloved, Pakka, I Asked You, I Ask You, I Ask Us To PACA, Not Pack It Up Or Pack It In! 

I Ask Us To Never Make A Move Without The Permission, Authority, And Assistance Of The Good Lord Who Loves Us With An Everlasting Love! 

Of Course, Permission, Authority, And Assistance Are All Moot When We Withhold Our Consent, And Refuse To Cooperate With The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Holy God! 

Know This: Grudging Consent Is Just As "Good" As Disobedience! 

Fix Your Mind: Fix Your Attitude: Fix Your Face! Obedience Comes Of Love! 

Please Be Pleased To Walk With The Lord Of Life, The King Of Glory, Who Is Our Peace! 

And

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That There Is No Ascent Without Assent! 

Peace!

Serving and Worshiping The Living Loving God!

Interesting Perplexity!

How Can One Serve-Worship God On Principle Alone Having Less Feeling for 
The Creator-God Than for Our Android Windows I-Phone?

1. Worshiping God ON Principle

Worshiping God On Principle
Is Like Acquiring 
A Master Craftsman's Certification
OR
Even A College or University Degree:

We Know AND Can Regurgitate The Study Material
AND
It Can Be PROVED That We Attended 
All The Theoretical and Practice Sessions
AND
Submitted All Required Homework
AND
The Requisite Term Papers
AND
Passed All The Examinations!

BUT ...

Having Been Accepted For Paid Employment
We Cannot
On Our Own
OR
Under Our Own Steam
Turn Our Acquired Theoretical Knowledge 
Into The Practical Real-World Application
That Benefits
Either Our Self
OR 
Another!

There Is, Therefore, No Point To The Process!

2. Serving and Worshiping God 

    WITH Principle AND Feeling:

Serving God By The Book
Having No Heart Just The Page-By-Page Look
Choosing
For This Day
To Just Act
AND
Not Reach Out To Our Soul's Lover
AND
Energetically
Loving Him Back
Is An "Arrangement!"
Just Business!
AND
That IS A Fact!

BUT ...

Surprise!  Surprise!
Living On Loving Lies
In A Business Arrangement
In A Marriage of Convenience
Won't Earn One Any From-God Lenience!

We Must Love God All The Way
For
In The Event Of Sin
We Won't For It Have To Pay
BUT ...
If Our Love for God
Is Just Part Some Time
We'd Better Have For 
Our Sin-As-Raw-Fish
Something Better Than Hot Horse Radish!

Satan Will Offer Us Some Stale Sauce Tartar
AND
Were God Mean
He'd Be Laughing at Us:

"Har Har!"

Let Us Not Take A Chance!
Let Us Go to Jesus!
We May Cry - But Don't Lie!
AND
Let Him Know That Someone Else for Our Heart Does Vie
AND
Ask Him to Tell Us Plainly
AND
If Necessary ... Again
Why On Him Our Heart Can Rely
AND
Let Us
By Littlest Faith
Trust Him
For He Cannot Lie!

God Offers
No Fair Promise!
No Fool's Gold!
No Horse of A Different Hue!
AND
No Circus Dog Performing On Cue!

God Is 
A Royal Father
A Loyal Friend
With Real Benefits
AND
Myriad
Real Blessings
Through and Through!

Let Us Ditch The "Love-God-On-Principle" Principle!
Let Us Serve-Worship God Out Of Real Love
AND
With Feelings True!

God Has A Great House in Heaven
With A Mansion Each for 
Believing
Loving
Trusting Worshipers!

I Desire To Receive A Jesus-Prepared Mansion In God's Great House!
Don't You Desire To Receive One, Too?!

 In The Heart Of Jesus

There Is R o o m

For

Every Repentant Sinner!
