VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Temptation And Self-Deception!






Being Tempted Is Not Sin! 
Yielding To Temptation 
Is 
Sin! 
Think Carefully About This Difference! 

How Hungry Are You For Fame And Fortune!?! 

Would You Stoop Down Low 
To Hurt Someone You Dearly Love 
To Acquire Money, Power, Privilege, And Prestige!?! 

Would You Go As Far As Judas Iscariot!?! 

Would You Be So Self-Deceived As To Believe That 
You Could Twist The All-Knowing, Eternal, God's Hands 
To "Make" Him Do What You Want 
So That You Would Have 
Your Deceitful Heart's Rotten Desires!?! 

Beloved, 

A Barking Bird Is Not A Dog 
And 
Raising Up Your Own God 
Bearing The Name Self Or Other
Does Not Make You The Creator God!

Power Trips Fail
For
Lack Of Power!

Be Warned ... 

Be Not As The Betrayer 
Who Sold Thick Gold To Buy Thin Silver!
 
Please Do Not ... Under Any Circumstance 
Become Filled With The Sense That 
Being Close To Your Creator Makes You His Surrogate
- His Stand-In -
To Do As You Please! 

Self-Deception
Is
An Aphrodisiac!


The Truth Is That 
Temptations Are Normal 
Aka Common To Man

And

We ... Mortal Beings 
Are Called To Walk The Lonesome Road 
By Grace, Through Faith! 
We Are Not Alone! 

We Are Not Called 
To Build Castles In The Sand! 

We Are Called 
To Get Ourselves To The Rock Of Our Salvation
To Him Who Is The Way Home
The Truth That Points, Guides And Delivers Us Home
The Light That Clearly Shows The Path Of Righteousness
Our Shelter In The Times Of Storm! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Riches Rot! 
Power Poisons! 
Prestige Withers Away 
But
Jesus Christ Stands Eternal! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Do Not Confuse Living In A Rich House 
With Being In The Heavenly Home: 
Earth Is Not Heaven! 
Aggressively Guard Your Heart! 
Pray Without Ceasing! 
Stay On The Upward Way!

Peace! 


Live
For
Jesus Christ
Alone!

PRAYING: Delight Thyself Also





When You Have A Need
What Do You Do!?!

Pray, Of Course!

When You Have A Desire
What Do You Do!?!

Pray, Of Course!

So, Should I Conclude From This
That For All That We Want
We Should Approach Almighty God!?!

Yes ... And No!

Come On!
I Thought You Were A Godly Man!?!

I Am
And
I Desire To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation!

What Do You Mean!?!

Friend,
Anything That I Believe That I Need
Think That I Want
Or Heartfelt, Desire
If It Cannot Be Righteously Framed
And
Humbly Presented Before The Holy God
By The Professing Godly Faithful Person
Without Affront To The Character Of The Eternal
Then ... It Cannot Be Formulated As Prayer!

To Do So Will Be Presumption On Our Part
And
Presumption Is A Sin
And
All Sin Is Lawlessness
And
Unless You Repent
You Shall Earn Sin's Wages
And
You Shall, In Your Known Sin, Die!

Furthermore
It Is Also Disrespectful To The Loving Father
Who Is Raising You Right
And
In Whose Favor ... Supposedly
You Truly Delight!

Look At It This Way ...

Would You ... In Godly Fear
Looking Toward The Consummation Of Your Joy 
In Jesus Christ The Righteous
Go To Our Father Who Resides In Heaven
- Who Has The Earth For His Footstool
And Clouds Of Mighty Angels Excelling In Strength
As His Personal Chariots -
With The Confidence Of The Faithful Just
And
Boldly Stand Before His Throne Of Available Grace
Where He Blessed You With His Free Mercy
And 
In Supreme, Unabashed, Confidence Say:


Father, Beloved
You Made Me A Man
And Against Your Will
I Am In Consuming Love With A Gorgeous Man
And I Need Help To Kill My Wife
So That He And I Can Be Together!
I Also Need Assistance To Rob The Local Bank
To Purchase A Joy-House For Us
And To Refurbish The House That I, Covetous, Want
That Belongs To My God-Fearing Neighbor!
I Also Need Direction 

On How To Construct An Altar Of Worship
And An Effigy Of Lust To His Honor 

That I May Bow Before It In Adulation On The Sunday-Sabbath
Even As I Bare False Witness Against His Faithful Wife
And Make You Jealous 

And Willingly, Wittingly, Wantonly
Dishonor You!
I Know This Breaks All Your Commandments
But I Need It To Feel Complete
So Give Me My Desire
And I Will Ever Be Grateful For The Treat!



Lord, Have Mercy!
I'm Not Claiming That!
YOU Would Have Had To Have Lost Your Tiny Mind
Lost Touch With Reality
Lied To Yourself
Signed Up With Satan
And Are Chain-Smoking Magic Mushrooms
While Sniffing Angel Dust
And Eating Marijuana Brownies 
Each Weighing A Half Pound!!
No Christian Would Ever Do A Thing Like That!

I Believe You Meant To Say
No Converted Regenerated Christian
Would Ever Do That
Because
Things Like This Scenario Are Playing Out 
Amongst The Hired Shepherds
And
The "Believers"
Even As We Speak!

You Lie!

I Speak The Truth!!
Check The Newspapers
Local And International
Go Back Even As Short As Just Six Months
And
All Will Be Understood!

Lying To Yourself Is Folly!
Besmirching Almighty God's Holy Name
- For Which He Is Jealous -
Is Clearly Asinine
Demonic
Satanic
And
All Who Will This Unholy Path Take
Shall ... With The God-Fake
At The Appointed Time
A Fire And Brimstone Bath
- With Finality -
Undesired
Take!

Brethren,

Let Us Be Honest
And
Speak The Truth For The Age!
No Human Will Stand Before God ... Pardoned
Who, In This Life
Did Not Purge Himself 
- By Almighty God's Grace
Through The Power Of The Holy Spirit -
Of Known Sin's Taint!

Presumption Is A Sin!
Disobedience Is As Witchcraft!
Lies Are Of The Devil
And
Hireling Shepherds Who Mislead Almighty God's Flock
Will Suffer, In Abundance, His Holy Wrath!

There Will Be No Blanket Conversion Of Humanity!
Only Those Who Forsake Sin, Self And Satan
Will Appear Before Christ The King In Peace
And
It Is In Our Best Interests
The Preserved Word Of The Living God 
Daily To Read
To Study 
To Show Ourselves Approved!

We Must Also Pray And Persevere
Being Instant With Pray As The Need Arises
And
Being Constant With Praying
Because
It Is Only Through Prayer That We Will Survive!

I Caution Us All ...

The Name It And Claim It Phenomenon
Is 
Going To Land Many Of Us In Hell!

Just Because You Want Something
Does Not Mean That It Is Fit To Be Presented
Before Our Creator God
Our Savior
Our Redeemer
Our King ... Our Judge!

Be Very Circumspect In What You Take To The Lord!

Our Own Soul's Salvation
Is 
Our Own Responsibility
And
It Behooves Us Well
To Lean ... Heavily
On Jesus Christ The Lord
For, It Is He, Alone
That Purchased Our Pardon
And
Who Has In His Holy Hand
Our Heavenly Reward!

Please Do Not Place The Lord
On The Same Level With Fallible Priests, Pastors
Gurus, Shamans Nor The Popular Pope! 
There Is Not One Among Them
That Can Save Themselves
Nor You, Nor Me
From Being Into The Lake
Burning With Fire And Brimstone
Summarily, At The Appointed Time, Tossed!


Praying Is A Privilege!
Use It Right!

Praying Is A Duty!
It Does The Heart Of Almighty God
Totally, Totally, Delight!

Praying ... With The Right Attitude
Is 
Power For Today
And
Every Day
So, Trust The Lord
And, Again
Pray Aright
- It Is Your Blessing -
And
Let Old Satan
For Your Confessed
And
Repented-Of Known Sin
Rightfully ... At The Appointed Time
Pay!

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

Don't Throw Your Blessing Away!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SATISFACTION IN SIN: Balaam Beor

Balaam Beor
Was A Fraud
AND
A Prophet
For Whom Satisfaction Came
Only From Profit!

Balaam
Son Of Beor
Beat His Faithful Ass
Until The Lord Gave It A Voice
Which Caused
The Profit-Driven Prophet
To Answer It
As Though It Were Human!
He Didn't Have A Choice!

Balaam
Knew God's Truth
BUT
Being Of Deceitful Ilk
Petitioned The Eternal
- Not In Innocence -
To See If God
Would Think As He Thought
So That He Could Get His Grubby Hands
On King Balak's Coinage
That Would
In His Loving Hands
- By His Ecstatic Rejoicing -
Gloriously Clink!

Balaam Sold Out His Soul To The Devil
Because
Greed
In His Soul's Armor
Was A Really, Really
Really Big Chink!
It Was A Big Hole!

So Big Was That Hole
That A Whole Satan
Walked Comfortably Through
Never Touching The Edges
So That Balaam Thought
- Wrongly -
That
He Was Doing His Own Do
Never Realizing
- I Conjecture -
That Practice
Wears A Nun Robe
AND
Did Not Recognize
That Against The Living God
He Had Become
A Raw Sinner
Another Adversary
- Pretend Friendly -
AND
Studiedly Bold!

A Little Sin
- Cherished -
Becomes
A Lot Of Sin
- Relished -
AND
You Can't Control It
For
It
- Triumphing -
Controls You!
Your Life Becomes Hellish!

The Story Of Balaam
Is
A Cautionary Tale
A Tale With A Tail
That Does Constant Flail
At This Time Of The End
When Men's Hearts Do Wax Cold
Where Love For The Other
Is Something To Be Sold
When Profiteering Is Laudable
Where Faith In God Is Laughable
Where Truth Has No Beauty
AND
Love For The Living God Is A Nasty Cootee!

I Ask You, Brethren
To Sincerely Search Self
For The Chink In Your Character
For That Lesson In Your Book Of Life
For Which You Always Score An "F"
Because
That Is The Lesson
Which Will Continue To Be Your Test
Ever Getting Harder As It Pertains To Jesus Christ
AND
Ever Easier As It Pertains
To The Base Perpetrator Of Wickedness And Vice!

Think On This ... Carefully:

Just As An Innocent Oyster
Is Impregnated
In Under A Minute
- So As Not To Immediately Kill It -
With A Grain Of Sand
To Make It Produce A Precious Pearl
So, Too, Are We ... But In An Instant!

The Difference 
Is Who Is Doing The Impregnating
AND
For What Purpose
AND
Do We With It Agree!

Oysters Have No Say
In Their Impregnation
AND
They Also Have No Say
In What Color Pearl
What Size Pearl
What Iridescence
It Shall Produce
BUT
We Do!

Balaam Beor
Was Known
To Be A Prophet Of God
Known To Work Enchantments
Known To Utter Curses
Knew The Ways Of God
Had Great Light From God
BUT
Willfully
Wickedly
Knowingly
Treacherously
Greedily
Disobediently
Used It All
For The Glory Of Satan
The Base Fraud!

Satan Is A Thief
A State-Line Robber
A Murderer
Who Impregnates
To Kill Twice
BUT
Jesus Christ
By His Holy Spirit
Indwells
To Give Us
Abundant Life Now
AND
Eternal Life Later!

What Is In Your Soul?
Is It The Light Of Life
The Glow Of Heaven
ORIs It The Seed Of The Serpent
The Bloat Of Corrupting Leaven?!

When You Know WHAT In You Grows
You Will Know WHO Causes It To Grow!
What Are You Raising
For Your Harvest?!

Balaam Son Of Beor
Got The Sword Of Damnation
In His Chest
Because
Those Who Willfully Cause Others To Sin
Get The Same Punishment
As Those Committing The Sin!

Think, Dear Ones
On These Things
AND
Convicted
AND
Convinced
Let Jesus Christ
Of Your Whole Life
Be
The Crowned And Reigning
Laboring King And Captain
To Direct Your Life
AND
Fight
All Your Battles
Against The Adversary Of Souls
Who Cherishes The Night!

Look Unto Jesus The Christ
AND
Keep Heaven
In Your Eye Sight
For
Night Comes
AND, THEN
The Getting Up Morning!
Judgement Morning!

No Victory Over Sin?!













 


Jesus Is My Shepherd!
I Don't Follow The Goat!
I Take The Time From The Master
AND
I Seek Faithfully
By Standing On The Holy Word
- In This World Of Wickedness -
To Stay Afloat!

Distractions Are All Around Me!
Even Things That Should Never Be In The Public's Face
AND
I Must Endeavor To Stay Focused
So As Not To Become A Christian Disgrace!

Unfaithful Hireling Shepherds
Are Trying To Convince God's People
That There Is No Getting Victory
- In This Life -
Over Sin
AND
I Shake My Head And Ask Wryly:

Who Inspired The "Holy" Word
From Which The False Shepherds Are Teaching?

How Much Are They Being Paid 
To Sell This Offal
That Unsuspecting Believers Are Buying?

"No Victory Over Sin!"
Is A Gross And Satanic Lie
AND
Is One Used By The Devil
To Cause Many With Unconfessed Sin
To Be Lost Forever
When They
Unrepentant
Die!

Jesus Saves The Sinner
Out Of His Sin!
Jesus Will Never Permit 
An Unrepentant Sinner
The Pearly Gates To Enter In!

Please ...

Do Not Listen To The Blind Guides
Who For A Pittance
Are Peddling Bold Lies!
Guard Your Eyes
AND
Your Heart
Out Of Which Comes 
The Actions That Direct Our Lives
AND
Trust The Lord To Be Faithful
To His Promise
To Give To All 
Faithful
Obedient
Enduring
Believers 
New
AND
Eternal Life!

By Beholding
We Are Changed
So ...
Behold The Good Master
Our Lord Jesus Christ
AND
Become Permanently Estranged From The Devil
AND
You Will 
Lead By The Christ Enter Into 
God's Eternal Life!

A Midday Prayer


Father,
My Day Is Only Halfway Through
Trials Have Set In
And I Need A Blessing From You
You Are Holy
You Are The Lord
My God
I Beseech You
Keep Me Out Of The Kitchen Of The Fraud!

Lord,  I Can See
Sin's Stout Cookware
And The Oil Of Contention
Is Smoking
And I Don't Care To Swear
BUT,  Lord, I Can Tell You True
Wickedness Is Trying It's Best
To Make Me Take My Eyes Off Of You!

You Are My Lord
My Master
My Very Best Friend
You Are My Life Company
From Life's Beginning
And If I Am Faithful
Throughout Eternity Without End
I Pray To You Your Promise
I Am Casting On You My Care
Give Me Victory In Jesus' Name
In Whom I Will Not Ever Know Shame!
I Love You,  Lord.
AMEN

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Profitable, Profitable, Unprofitable!

My Master was a harsh man
I know he did not like me at all - I was afraid of him
He was going on a long journey
And he called us managers together and
Gave out Investment Packages
As each had "ability" to "chew":

He gave his Favorite One 5
He multiplied 5 by 2

He gave his Stoolie One 2
He multiplied 2 by 2

He gave me One! ONE!
I steupse ... and
I buried it and stepped on the spot with my shoe!

But ... I Am Getting Ahead of The Tale!

Well, de Master dun gone 'long 'bout 'e business!

Party Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

After All ...

What could I do with a useless portfolio

Everybody knew that in that environment you had to have assets to survive
And Bossman giving me nay-nay investment
Ensured to him I would not thrive!

... Sooo, I "Helped" It Along!


I did didley squat!


And Here's Why:


Bossman was one of those you hear talked of all the time!

The ones who get gain ... but not by putting anything in
And they does pick up all kinds of profits
From where they had not been even investing in!

Why should I waste my valuable time

My beautiful, bountiful, gray matter
Working on what I couldn't foresee profit from?

Why should I even go to the profiteer bankers

And just get back a penny on a big-able pound?!

A Loooooooong Time Passed ...

When I Tell You Long, I's Mean Real Long!

No one was watching me, so
I did what I felt like!
I ran with The Howlies
And I played well into The Night
And on my last night returning what I did behold
Told me a story
Of life in The Hot Coals!

Well, I am now quite ashamed to tell you
Them others did real good for themselves
But that I had seen no point to expending my best effort
On something I knew could would not pay!

I Was Wrong!
Dead Wrong!
ETERNALLY WRONG!!





Well, when His High and Mightiness 
The Master  a/k/a Bossman 
Returned from his Journey
He started settling accounts
From highest to lowest, and
He saw wonderful investment growth!
Amazing Investment Growth ... from He Favorites!

I call them his Favorites because he had given them multiples of the best investments possible!
They were sure to succeed!

Riiigghht?!?

But Me ... Well!!

Of all people, HE called Me, ME, Lazy!
I worked hard at all kinds of programs
And projects and initiatives for him
Not that they were productive ... but I worked!

How 'bout some kinda credit, huh?!

Really!??!

Well, it was like ...
Aaahhhmmm ...
Alright, I kinda, sorta, maybe, probably, thought of and almost tried, and pretended to work ...

Well ...

He called Me Lazy!
He called Me Unfaithful!
And, to top it all off
He called his guards - them big scary ones from WingCo Corps
Who picked ME Up
By the scruff of my neck
And threw me out of the house, and off the premises - it was dark out there!

And Now ...?

And now I have to spend Big Time with
Wicked McGruff
Who tell me in the first place that The Bossman
Ain't had no Snuff!!

AND NOW, I CAN NEVER GO BACK
To T'Absolute Best Master 
I ever hadddd!!

... I can never darken His Door ever, ever, ever again ...

All those years ...
Gone ...
For nuffin' ...
Forever ...
sni .. sni ... sssSnnniiifff ...
Boo hoo hoo!
If onlyyyyyy!
I should haaaave!
I could haaaave!
But, but, butIdidn't!!!
Lordhavemerrrrrrrrrrcyyyyy!
Gimmeachance, gimmeachance!
aaaaaiiiiii, aaaaaiiiiii, aaaaaiiiiiiiiii!!


Dear Ones,

We cannot fool God!

He is All-seeing!

He is All-knowing, and

He IS Ever Present!

He has no accountant, and He keeps perfect records!

What The Lord has given unto you is yours to do with as you see fit!

Your gifts are a Trust! 

Do what you will but, remember, there is a time of accounting!

Saying that God plays favorites and gives other people better gifts that what has been given unto you will not hold water, or carry weight!

Each of us has gifts, and if those gifts are exploited for the Glory and Elevation of The True and Living God, when He settles His Accounts with us, His Stewards, we will all be rewarded based upon what we have done to bless God and others!

Do not blame God for neither your mercenary nor impecunious use of His Blessings.

He gave you the best "deal," and He is fully expecting R.O.I!





Since we cannot not pay Caesar i.e., Death and The Tax Man, take time to pay God who gives to All liberally! 

We are not our own property, and God does not require usury from us!

Remember: 


Cheap Service 
Prejudiced Service
Pretentious Service

and


Service Lacking in Service 

all equal 

No Service!


Please Pray ... and Pass The Word Along!

MARANATHA!
