VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mimicking Or Mirroring The Master!?!

 

Be Like Jesus! Love One Another! When The Character Of Christ Is Perfected In Us, Jesus Will Come To Claim Us Who Are His Own! 

Does That Mean That We Will Look Like Jesus Or Act Like Jesus Or Both!?! How Can I Know!?! 

Are We To Mimick The Lord!?! Anybody Got A Mirror! 

Funny You Mention Mimick AND Mirror, Macy-May! 

Ain't Nothing Funny About That, Gracy-Faye! Whenever, Wherever There Is Anything Spoken Or Done Or To Be Done For Or In The Name Of Our Jesus, It Is Guaranteed That There Will Be Mimics And Mirrors On The Back-Hand Side Because Of That Side-Winder, Satan The Damned! 

True That! Our Jesus Is Perfect, And He Says, "Be Ye Perfect Even As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect!" 

And What Do We Often See On Show!?! 

Yes, Dingus!?! 

That's An Easy Answer, Macy-May! We See Parodies Parading Prominently! We See Mincing Mimicks And ...! 

... We See Mirror Madness! 

What's This Mirror Madness, Milo!?! Ahhh, Mirror Madness! That, My Friends, Is One Of Beelzebub's Baleful Bests ... With A Branch! 

Do Share, Mon Frere! 

When We View The Lord, What We See Is What We Receive! When We Faithfully Follow The Lamb, There Ain't No Goat Parts Passing, People! 

Very True! 

So What If I Tell You That Beelzebub The Bold And Brazen Displays A True Mirror Of Our Beautiful Savior On A Branch Of A Goodly Tree!!?! 

Just As You Reach The Branch Of A Tree Before You May Touch The Tree, The Source Of Its Life, We See Satan's "Good" Mirror On The Extended Branch Of His Goodly Tree, And We Stand Still, Looking Real Fine, And Preen, Pose, And Present Our Position When, Suddenly, The Branch Is The Tree And The Tree Is The Mirror Is Become A House Of Mirrors ... Circus Mirrors! 

Merciful Powers! 

Good Call, Calley! 

I Remember Those Circus Mirrors From My Ill-Spent Youth! Those Things Would Give A Person Nightmares After Making You Want To Upchuck Your Fairground Eats! 

That Sounds Positively Vile ... Evil! 

There! You Said It, Cravitz! Bait And Switch! Exchange Gold To Get Pyrite! Throw Away Beauty And Glow-Up With ... Ashes!?! 

Brethren, This Is Where The Rubber Meets The Road! In The Compromise With Sin, The Caricature Becomes The Keeper, The Kept, And, Ultimately, When Christ Comes, The Cast Off, The Cast Out! 

Wow! Do I Hear Upcoming Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth!?! 

You Better Believe It! Jesus Is Right, Light, Pure, Perfect, No Derivatives, No Shadows, No Mirrors! 

We Are Not To Be Merchandise, To Be Manipulated, Packaged, Branded, Sold Out! 

We Are Bought With A Price Not Known To Be Silver Or Gold! 

We Walk In Light, In Love, By Faith, Through Grace, In Truth! 

Brethren, Those Are Real, Bold, Plain Statements Of Fact, No Wavering, No Waffling, No Buffering, No Sick-Inducing Parodies! Jesus Saves Souls From Sin! 

These Parodies, These Mimicks, Encourage People To, With Comfort, Play In And With Sin ...  To Conform To The Classes Of This World ... And Not To Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Their Minds Through Christ Who Strengthens Them! 

Do You Know What's The Difference Between The Mirror Of The Word Of God And Satan's Circus Mirror!?! 

Yes, Calley! 

The Mirror Of The Lord's Word Will Only Show You What's Wrong Whilst Satan's Shining Sifter Shimmeringly Shifts Us Through The Stages Of The Changes Of A Life That Blasts Us And Benefits Him! 

Wow, Calley! Color Me Surprised! Not! He's The Father Of Lies, Ain't He!?! 

Look, Let's Just Settle This! Give Me Jesus Because With Him, I'll Rise!

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Constant Effort Must Be Put Forth If We Are To Stay True To Truth In The Light Of Life! 

As We Started, Let Us End: Be Like Jesus! Let It Be Your Song ... Your Reasonable Service! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Imagine This ... If You Dare!

 

I Double-Dog Dare You Miserable Wretches ...! 

... Wait, Who She Calling Miserable Wretches!?! 

Cloris Is Calling Us, Her Dear Friends, By That Appellation, Norbert! 

I Ain't Neither Miserable Nor A Wretch, Nancy! 

You're Wrong Twice, Norbie! 

Explain Yourself, Nancy! 

I Surely Will, My Friend! We Belong To The Laodicean Church So We Are Miserable: Our Jesus Said So In Revelation Chapter Three! 

The Apostle Paul Said In Romans 7:24: “O Wretched Man that I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death?” 

You See, The Romans Had A Thoroughly Nasty Penchant For Attaching A Dead Body To Someone Who They In Turn Wanted To Dispatch With Prejudice, So He Was Painting A Picture For His Audience Which They Would Understand While Showing That We Were In Dying Bodies Ourselves Because Of Our Sinful Condition By Nature, And Nurture Aka Our Training And Practice! 

I Am Sure That That Ghastly Practice Was Inspired By Demons, Norbie! 

And I Agree With You, Nancy! But Why Was Cloris Speaking Like That!?! 

She Is Angry, And So Should We Be, Because The Lord Is Good To And For Us, And Instead Of Us Being Grateful And Thankful, We Crucify Him Afresh, Sabotage His Work, And Bring Him To An Open Shame! 

Do You Know What The Lord Does Instead Of Destroying Us Or Helping Us To Destroy Ourselves For Our Base Ingratitude!?! 

Tell Me, Norbie! Tell Me What I Should Already Know! 

Willie-Sue, Our Lord Jesus Made, Makes A Way, Shows, Offers, Invites Us To Apply To Be A Part Of His Team - No Tricks, No Traps - By His Holy Spirit Who Will Surely Lead Us Into All Truth! 

So What Is The Problem With That, Norbie!?! 

The Problem, Clammy-Cherry, Is That We Are So Caught Up In Appearances, And Titles, And Compensation Potential That We Reject What Lasts Forever For That Which Can't Last No Matter How It Is Framed And Funneled! 

Do You Remember That Expression Which Says: "Beauty Fades But Ugly Lasts Forever!?!" 

Of Course, Nancy! 

You Do Know That It's A Lie When Spiritually Applied! 

How So!?! 

The Ugliness Of Sin Cannot Last Forever Because Sin Will Not Arise A Second Time In The Earth Made New! 

Secondly, The Beautiful Gospel Of Truth Which Speaks Of The Beautiful Savior Lasts Forever Because Our Jesus, Our Savior, Died Once For All Mankind, His Body Never Saw Corruption, And He Now Lives Forever! 

His Beauty Will Grow More Beautiful To Us During The Ceaseless Years Of Eternity Because We Who Believe To The End, And Are Rewarded With Everlasting Life At The Last Trumpet, Will Look Upon Him Through Truly Seeing Eyes Of Cumulative Holy Love! 

I Like That Word-Picture, Norbie! 

Cloris, I Agree With You And Have One Thing To Add For All Of Us! 

Let Us Not Permit Pride To Cause Us To Try To Purchase Pre-Paid Free-To-Anyone Tickets On The Day After The Request-Accept-By Date! 

There Shall Be Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth ... With Fierce Regret! 

Oh, That Land Of Regret Where Everyone Stands Alone! 

Cloris, It's Time To Talk To Jesus:  I Am A Miserable Wretch And Only The Lord Jesus Can Fix Me! 

I'm With You, Willie-Sue! 

Regret And Salvation Are One-On-One Encounters So Let Us Permit Our Now-Present, Positively Actionable Regret Over Our Known Sin Pilot Us To Salvation-From-Sin Purchased For Us By Our Dear Savior's Sacrifice!

AMEN!!! 

I Love It, Love It, Love It: Let Regret Serve The Higher Purpose ... When It Matters! 

Peace! 

 

 

Stop Telling Me How I Should Pray!

I Don't Know About You, But I Am Heartily Sick And Really Tired Of People Telling Me How I Should Pray To Make The Living God Answer My Prayers And Give Me What I Want, How I Want It, And When I Want It! 

What Do You Think Is The Purpose Of The Holy Spirit Who Interprets Our Prayers!?! 

If I Can "Make" The Lord, The God Of Glory, Answer My Prayers, I Am God, And I Don't Need That Living God, And I, Therefore, Have No Need To Pray! 

Do You See The Stupidity That Is Masquerading As So-Called Good Theology!?! 

Did You Hear The One About The Lord Using Only Those Persons With A Particular Birthdate!?! 

Either People's Brains Burping On The Regular, Or The Clowns Running The Circus! 

Or Mice In The Good Seed, Bats In The Belfry ...! 

... Or We Are Lazy, Becoming Lazy, Or Are Choosing To Let Others Plant, Raise, Harvest, And Serve Us Our Food Already Masticated Aka Already Chewed, Ready To Swallow! 

Hell And Damnation!?! 

Right In One! 

But Getting Back To This Perfect Prayer That The Lord Can't Refuse: Isn't That The Prayer Of Faith!?! 

Yes, It Is, BUT Even Then The Lord, In Infinite Wisdom And Mercy For Love Toward Us, Sometimes Says "No!" To Our Faith-Filled Petitions! 

But, Grannum, What Is Being Revealed Is That That Malevolent Spirit Is At Work And Working Overtime And Gaining Staff! 

Yes, Pinks, He Is, But It Is Also Exposing And Reinforcing The Eden Conspiracy! 

I Can't Say That I've Ever Heard That Expression, Grannum! 

Well, Pinks, Remember Eve Believing The Stranger, Not Her God, And Accepting That The Forbidden Fruit, Easy On The Eye, Could Make Her Wise And God-Like! 

Consider These Prayer Coaches  Guaranteeing The Year Of The Lord's Favor: What's The Difference Between Them And Satan And His Fallen Angels!?! 

None! 

The Lord Gave Us A Framework For Prayer: Use It! 

He Said: Pray And Plead With Thanksgiving For Everything! He Said Believe! He Said Pray Without Ceasing! What He Did Not Say Is Let Someone Who Is Not You Pray As You For What You Want, Need, With Formulaic Intensity! 

You Are An Individual With A Direct Line To The Heart Of God ...! 

... Sorry To Cross You, But I Just Remembered About The One That Says That You Can't Pray Lying On Your Bed! 

Alright, Already, Thompie! Color Me Ridiculous! Are We Really Going To Accept This Rubbish And Believe That The Good God In Heaven Will Reject The Prayers Of The Bed-Ridden, The Invalided, The Hospitalized, Those Languishing Prostrate On Beds Of Torture, Because They Cannot Stand Up Or Kneel Before His Exalted Self, Because He Is "Fragile" And Will Not Be Disrespected By An Unbended Knee!?! 

Sounds Right ... Per Them! 

Is This What We Have Come To!?! Isn't Our God Gracious, Long-Suffering, Gentle, Kind, Loving ... Understanding ... Seeing Other Than We See, Remembering That We Are Dust, Knowing Our Frame!?! 

"Yes!" On All Points! So, Who Is Signing Pay-Checks For These  Charlatans!?! 

Somebody Satan-Adjacent! 

You Ain't Lying, Lucy! 

Father, In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus, Grant Us Your Grace, Your Strength, And Keep Us Strong In And By The Word Of Truth To Withstand The Slithering Evil Masquerading As A "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Be Wise For Your Own Self And Unto Salvation! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Who Is He To You!?!

Let's See: Director, Protector, Leader, Feeder, Teacher, Shelter, Counselor PLUS My Glory, My Crown! 

Now Tell Us How Many Of These Do You Wittingly, Willingly, Permit Him To Be To You Each And Every Day!?! 

Bro. Brinks, Are We Fronting Or Factual!?! 

Oh, Come On, Macy! You're Not Supposed To Say The Quiet Part Out Loud!!! 

It's Pertinent, Cassy, And You Know It! 

Okay, Brethren, Let's Stay On Track! Macy, You Well Know That Fronts Fail And Facts Assail! 

In That Case, Bro. Brinks, Every Day, Without Thought, The Lord Is My Feeder And I Accept That Good Food Which He Provides Me As My Due ...! 

... Macy, You Can't ...! 

... Don't Interrupt Me! I'm Spitting Facts Not Fantasy For Face For A Choir! 

I "Permit" The Lord To Be My Teacher And Counselor Sometimes, But Especially When I'm In A Bind With No Obvious Way Out! 

On A Good Day, The Lord Will "Get" To Be My Leader, Shelter And Protector And, Being Me, When I Recognize These Mercies, I Accept Them Without So Much As A "Thank You, Lord, I Love You!" Because, Well, Why Not, It's His Job! 

Macy, No!!! 

Don't Stop, Macy, You're Telling The Facts Aka The Truth For This Hour! We All Do It But You're The Only One Of Us Honest Enough To Say It Publicly! 

Oh, Boy, We Can Always Trust Our Macy To Stir Up A Red-Ants Nest!

Girlie, These Ants Stinging Me In Strange Places And The Burning Ain't No Joke! 

Same, Sadie, Same! 

Brethren, When I'm "Feeling" Generous Aka My Neck Is In A Noose, Knickers In A Twist, Or I Have Experienced A "Dear Lord, Save Me!" Bum-Rush, I Ever So Grudgingly, Eyelids Down, "Allow" The Good Lord To Be My Director ... My Savior! 

And For My Piece de Resistance, No Shame In My Game, I Judiciously Acquire Aka Assume The Lord As My Glory And My Crown In The Presence Of Those Whom I Accept As Like-Minded Believers And, Of Course, Upon Entering The Church Building For Whatever Reason ... And For Sure, For Service! Now Tell Me I Lie! I Dare You! 

Bro. Brinks, Please Correct ...!  

... Bro. Brinks, Surely You're Not ...! 

... Bro. Brinks, You Need To ...! 

... Don't You All Dare "Bro. Brinks!" Me! Do You Actually Believe That Macy Is Only Speaking To You And Not To Me As Well! 

Say It Ain't So, Bro. Brinks! 

I'm Saying It Is So, Sadie ... And The Rest Of You! We Can No Longer Do Our Ostrich Routines On This Matter Because There Will Be No Own-Clothes Christians In Heaven! 

We Must, Let Me Repeat, We Must Accept, Permit, Allow, The Lord Jesus Christ To Be Our All-Facets All-Day Everything God Of All Grace If We Desire To Have A Seat At His Table In Glory! THAT Is Non-Negotiable! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Not To Be Stored In A Nine-Compartment Box With The Compartments To Be Pulled Out As. And. Or. When We "Feel" Like It ...! 

... Yeah! Feelings Get People Prejudicially Corpsified! 

Very True, Deena! 

Dear Ones, What Macy Said, What I Am Saying, Is Not To Make Us Feel Badly About Ourselves! 

These Things Are Said To Cause Us To Know, Remember, Never Forget, Always Embrace First, Last, Always, The Truth, The Presence, The Love That Is, Who Is, Our Blessed-Forever Lord Jesus! 

Let Us Pray ... 

Lord Jesus, Please Forgive Our Foolish Ways! Help Us Never To Forget Gethsemane! Help Us To Wisely Walk Into And Stay Within Your Forever Fold Of Safety! 

Help Me, Help Us To Let You Lead Us, Feed Us, Teach Us, Correct Us, Protect Us, Direct Us, Counsel Us ... Shelter Us! 

Be Our Glory, Our Crown, Our Lord, Our God, Our King! Fit Us On Earth! Dress Us For Heaven! 

Use Us On Earth For Your Glory! And May The Day Never Come Where Anyone Present Here Will Hear The Dread Words: "Refused For Heaven!" Or More Properly "Depart From Me! I Never Knew You!" 

Lord, Save Us! Wash Us In Your Blood Which You Spilled That We May Live Right And Forever! Come Into Our Hearts, Lord Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Lord, Help Us To Let You Make Our Minds, Our Hearts, Your Home By The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Who Will Lead Us Into All Truth! 

Please, Lord, Watch Over Us, And Help Us To Keep Your Unfailing Holy Faith While We Are Absent One From Another! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Satan Is A Teacher, Too!?!

 

... Humans Learn More From Trouble! You're Not Going To Like What I'm About To Say, But Nevertheless, I'm Still Going To Say It: I Have Learned, I Have Been Taught, Some Unintended And Valuable Lessons ... By Satan! 

Shut Your Mouth, Elowen! 

Why, Cloveen!?! For Speaking The Truth!?! Don't You Know That Even Liars Must Tell The Truth At Some Point In Time!?! Don't You Know That Even Those Who Would Destroy You Teach You Great Lessons ... If You Are Willing To Learn Them!?! 

So What Are These "Great" Lessons And "Truths" That The Piercing Serpent, The Roaring Lion, The Lord Of Dung, The Adversary Of Souls Has Taught You, Elowen!?! 

I'm Glad You Asked, Shari! The Lord's Enemy, Our Enemy, The Adversary Of Our Purchased Souls, Satan The Damned, Has Plainly, Efficiently, And Effectively Taught Me That Covetousness, Envy, Greed, Deceit, Lying, Malice, Narcissism, Obsession, And Self-Worship, Self-Absorption, Have No Place In The Life Of An Ambassador, A Soldier, For Christ! 

He Has Also Taught Me About Keeping My Eye On The Prize, On "Playing" The Long Game, On Devotion To Duty, On Commitment To The Cause That I Wholeheartedly Believe In! 

You Can't Be Serious, Elowen! 

Yes, I Am, Caprice! That Wretch Satan Has Unintentionally, I Am Sure, Taught Me That No Matter The Setbacks, No Matter The Failures, I Must Press On To My Goal With Single-Minded Focus! 

I Am Not Hearing This, Elowen! 

You Better Listen, Caprice! Let Me Ask You This, Then: Isn't It Possible To Learn Something Positive And Preserving From A Negative And Destructive Element And Occurrence!?! 

Of Course, We Can! 

So Why Can't We Learn From Satan's Antics!?! 

Ah, Umm, Well ... It Is ... Well ...! ... How Deep!?! 

Friends, The Lord Said That With Getting Wisdom, We Should Also Get Understanding! Understanding Demands That We Learn Two Great Truths: 

First, That What The Lord Means For Good And For Our Salvation, Satan Will Pervert For Evil And For Our Destruction! 

Secondly, The Lord Plainly Teaches Us What To Do For Abundant Life, Good Health, And Spiritual Elevation, While Satan Teaches Us ... Under Camouflage ... How To Destroy Ourselves With Our Own Thoughts, Words, And Deeds Via Self-Glorification, And Self-Aggrandizement! 

Through Truth, The Lord Teaches Us How To Get Into The Living Kingdom! 

Via Deceit, Satan Teaches Us How To Be Excluded From The Glorious Kingdom: He Is The Exemplar For Those Who Choose To Reject Christ's Free To All Salvation! 

But, Most Importantly, The Best Lesson That Satan Has Taught Me Is That The Word Of The Living God Is True, And To Stick To, To Stand Up For, To Choose To Be Sanctified By The Savior, And To Faithfully Wait With Patient Endurance To Be Sealed At The Appointed Hour By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth, And To Not Create My Own "Heaven" By Known Feigned Aka False Wisdom! 

Sin Slays! 

Salvation Serves And Seals, And By These I Know That I Cannot Lose With Our Lord Jesus! 

Elowen, Dear Heart, I Like How Your Mind Works: You Just Taught Me A Thing! Bless The Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: A Life "Blessed" With No Stress!?!

 

Come, My Precious Ones! Come! 

Uh, Oh, Paredo!

Uh, Hmm, Joe! 

What Do You Think, Fanci!?! Philosophy Or Society!?! 

Neither One! Sis. Bringone Has Been Muttering About Somebody Called Grace And Kissing And Falling Down In The Street And "Them," Whoever They Are, Not Loving Truth! 

Are You Sure About That, Fanci!?! That Surely Sounds Like Gossip And You Well Know That Sis. Bringone Does Not Indulge Gossip Nor Embrace Gossipers! 

Yes, Both Times, Paredo And Joe, But ...! 

Blessings, Beloved! The Lord Is Good To Us, But We Are Not Good To Ourselves Or Each Other! Stop Saying That You're Too Blessed To Be Stressed! 

SIS. BRINGONE!!! That's Practically Heresy! With All Due Respect, Bite Your Tongue! 

Sorry, Cephas, No Can Do! I Have Need Of It Since We Are Going To Do A Bible Rear-View! We Are Going Into The Way-Back Machine! 

Let's Talk Creation! 

Theme: No Stress!?!

Earth: Formless, Void, Darkness Abounded! 

Then Came: Shape, Fill, Light! Who, How!?! 

Clay And Air: Adam! 

Why, How!?! 

A Rib: Eve! 

When, Why, How!?! 

Tower By Nimrod: Language Explosion! 

Where, Why, How!?! 

Noah: 120-Year Sermon And A Cruise Liner/Ark! 

Why, How, What For!?! 

Moses: Split Sea, Dry Ground, Dry Shod Feet! 

You Know The Drill!

What We Have Here, People, Is It A Conundrum, An Enigma, A Mystery OR ...!?! 

Sis. Bringone, What We Have Here Is Commonsense Compliments Of The Only Wise God! Pressure Aka A Stressor, Was Applied And The Promise, A Present, A Presence Was Supplied! What Was, What Is, Shall Be Until The Lord Comes For Us Who Work Out Our Own Salvation With Godly Fear And Trembling! 

Well Said, Alma! 

To Close This "No Stress, Too Blessed To Be Stressed" Nonsense Down For Good, Look Upon Our Lord Jesus In The Garden Of Gethsemane Praying To His Father ...! 

... And Sweating Great Drops Of Blood ... For Us! 

Yes, Royal, For Us! Wasn't That Stress!?! 

Yes, Sis. Bringone! 

Dear Ones, Please Stop Subscribing To And Sponsoring The Nebulous Aka Hazy, Vague, Confused Popular Religion! It Is All Fronts: No Foundation Stone, No Backbone, No Capstone! 

Now, To Beautify Our Precious Time Together, I Ask You To Think Of Those Drops Of Jesus' Blood: What Caused Them, Where They Led, What They Cost Him, What They Purchased, And What We Have Been Gifted And Blessed With As A Result! 

I Have Six Words: 

Six Is The Number For Man! 

The Six Words Point To Word Seven: 

Seven Is God's Number, The Number Of Perfection! 

Six Can Get To Seven Who, For Us, Will Never Be Late! 

Enjoy Your Life In Love With Your Gift Of Access To The Throne Of Grace Even Though Truth Was  Cast Down To The Ground As Stated In Daniel Chapter 8 Verse 12! 

Jesus Christ, God, Gives Us Life, Light, And Is Our Only Peace In This Vale Of Tears! He Has Sent His Holy Spirit To Be With Us Forever To Be Our Comfort, Our Comforter! 

The Holy Spirit, God, With Our Free-Will Cooperation And Desire To Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty Through Our Freedom To Choose Our Own Way To Live, Imbues Us With His Power To Live Lives Of Purity! 

Beloved, Be Wise! You Don't Need Light, Comfort, Peace, And Power, To Live In Purity If There Is NO Stress To Do And Be Otherwise! 

Sis. Bringone, I, For One, Am Glad That Righteousness And Peace Kissed Each Other! Without Them, The Comforter Would Not Have Come To Lead Us Into All Truth! 

I Told You, Fanci! Sis. Bringone Does Not Do Gossip! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

Suddenly, I Feel Great! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Jesus Christ Is Mine!?!

"Mine, Mine, Mine, Jesus Is Mine!"

     "Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine!"

           "I Am His, And He Is Mine!"

"I Nothing Lack When I Am His

And He Is Mine Forever!"

      "I Know Thou Art Mine!"

These Are Just A Few Phrases Out Of Hymns 

Which Tell Us An Incontrovertible Aka Undeniable Truth 

Which Our Brethren-Past Left For Us 

As Comfort, War-Cry, Shield, Walking-Stick

Boosts, Banners, And Way-Markers! 

Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Is Not Lost

Missing In Action, Unreachable

Unknowable, Untouchable, Nor Unavailable! 

Jesus Is Yours! 

Jesus Is Mine! 

Jesus Is Ours! 

Have You Considered What It Means That 

Our Father Has Given His Only Son, Jesus

To Be Ours, Yours, Mine ... Forever!?! 

Jesus Christ, The Righteous, The Creator Of All Things

The Savior, The Redeemer

The Forever Friend ... God With Us

Belongs To Each One Of Us And All Of Us

Individually, Personally, Intimately

For Now ... And For Eternity 

If That Is Our Hopeful Heart's Desire! 

Consider That We May Ask Of Him

- In The Faith Of Belief That Comes Of Grace -

A $1,000,000 

Or A Leaf From The Tree Of Life That Perpetuates Life! 

You Have Him In Your Heart 

Who Has The World In His Hands 

While He Has You As The Apple Of His Eye! 

Why, Then, Would You Go Sipping Deada 

From The Hog-Troughs Of This Transient 

Aka Passing-Away Life!?! 

Are You, Am I, So Blinded By Things That We Can't See Truth!?! 

The Biggest Liar, The Biggest Loser In This Life 

Is The Person Who Refuses To Accept The "S" 

Aka The Sure Salvation, Full And Free 

And 

Free To All Who ... Freely Choose To Accept 

The Glorious Gift Bought, Paid For, Unwrapped

Delivered ... Ready To Be Used! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 

It Is Good To Be Simple 

And 

It Is Good To Be Free In Jesus ... Who, Alone, Saves! 

Beloved, 

All That Jesus Has Is Yours! 

Heaven Is His Throne 

And 

Earth Is His Footstool! 

His Foot Is On His Footstool: 

Do The Math! 

You Are Nowhere Else But There/Here: 

Touch A Toe! 

The Holy Spirit Is He By Whom We Are Sealed 

Against The Day Of God's Vengeance: 

He Leads Us Into All Truth: 

He Is Our Teacher! 

The Holy Angels, The Lord's Messengers, Excel In Strength: 

They Are Our Guardians! 

The Storehouses Of Heaven 

Are Full To Overflowing With Every Good And Perfect Gift 

From The Giving, Gracious, Glorious God Who Never Changes! 

We, Mortal Man

Lying, Cheating, Stealing Man

Hold The Inside Track To The King Of Kings: 

Don't Squander Your Access! 

Use What Is Yours From Who Is Yours 

To Get You Where What Is Yours Is To Be Found! 

You're At His Feet: 

You're In The Room: 

Stay There! 

Raise Your Flag! 

Peace! 

 

The Most Expensive Gift On Earth!?!

You Know That She Has Got To Be Mad, Right!?! 

I'm Not So Sure About That, Pilly! 

What About You, Erwin!?! 

I'm Not Going To Commit To Any Pronouncement About Her Sanity Because She Always Has A Good Reason For Her Unusual Assignments! 

Come Now! Do You Actually Think That It Is A Sane Move For Her To Ask Us To Bring Her The Most Expensive Gift That We Can Afford To Give, And To Keep The Receipt So That We Can Return It IF She Doesn't Like It!?! 

Yes, Kareena, I Do! She's Up To Something! She Is Always Up To Something! 

But What About Her Having Always Said That Giving A Gift Should Never Be About Price!?! 

You Have A Point, Penny, So Her Stressing "Most Expensive" Means Something Other Than The Obvious! 

You're Right, Erwin! Look, I'll See You All Tomorrow! Don't Forget That She Said Not To Wrap Your Gift! 

There You Have It, My Friends! Another Clue Plain As Day! 

You Ain't Lie! 

ONE DAY LATER ... 

The Atmosphere In The Class Was Depressing Since Not One Gift Had Met Sis. Sobi's Exacting Standard To Be Called The Most Expensive Gift! 

Electric Micey Is The Last Person Presenting, And She Has Nothing In Her Hand! 

Sadie, You See That Move By Tricky-Mic!?! 

She Must Have Figured Out The Puzzle, Or She Has Resigned Herself To A Full-On "F" For Not Trying, Hadia! Look At Sis. Sobi's Face! 

Sis. Sobi, 

The Lord Gave Unto Us The Gift Of The Holy Spirit: This Gift Is A Kindness! 

The Holy Spirit Is The Good And Perfect Gift! 

In Our Sojourn In This Vale Of Tears, As Ambassadors For Christ, As Workers In The Vineyards And Fields Of The Master, We Are Called To Bless Our Fellow Sojourners With The Goodness, The Kindness Of The Lord In Us Because It Is The Right Thing To Do! 

Also, Unfortunately, Because It Will Be The Only Taste Of Heaven Many Of Them Will Ever Experience! 

Kindness Has No Cost, Cost-Sharing, Nor Write-Off Possibility! 

Kindness Uplifts, Helps, Heals, And Hands One Another Opportunity To Choose Christ As Their Everlasting Portion So That They Will See True Life, The Eternal Kindness Of Happiness In Our Father's Heavenly House Called Home! 

Kindness Is The Most Expensive Gift On Earth For Me To Give To Anyone Because It Cost The Father Everything To Give Me His Son, Who Gave Up His Life For Me And, After Rising Up To Life, Then Giving Unto Me The Holy Spirit, My Comforter ... Forever! 

I Choose To Freely Give Of That Kindness That I Am Daily Freely, Lovingly Given For In Blessing Another, I, Also, Am Again Blessed! 

Kindness Is The Gift That Gives Back! It's The Win-Win Gift! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

All Eyes Were On Sis. Sobi When She Suddenly Roared: 

"Tricky-Mic Wins The Challenge!" 

The Class Went Wild! 

When Bedlam Departed, Sis. Sobi Spoke Thusly: 

My Children, This Is How You Give The Most Expensive Gift That You Can Afford! 

You Can't Get Under It, You Can't Get Over It, You Can't Get Around It, And You Can't Cut Through It, But The Recipient Of Your Gift Of A Kindness Can And Will Receive The Needed Strength To Get Through One More Day Of Life Because Of It! 

Never, Ever, Permit Anyone To Encourage You To Cease Being Kind When They Call You A Do-Gooder! 

That Is High Praise, And It Is Good Currency In Your Book Of Remembrance ... In Heaven! 

Bedlam, Of The Goodly Sort, Reentered The Room! 

It Is Peace! 

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Not Today!

The Answer Is The Same: Not Today Nor Any Other Day! 

I Will Not Be Purchasing A Membership To The Fire-Rage Association 

Nor Will I Be Wearing The Free Cheer Outfit For Club Virago! 

But, Why, Estalene!?! 

You'll Have A Whole New Family To Back You 

No Matter What, When, Where

Against Whoever And However It Becomes Necessary

Right And Wrong! 

We Don't Care About The Merits! 

We Only Care That You Are One Of Us! 

They Touch You, We Touch Them Hard! 

They Don't Speak To You, We Cuss Then Bad! 

We Are Viragos! 

Raise The Flags! 

Let Me Get This Straight, Bom Bastic! 

You Don't Care About The Truth! 

You Don't Care About Right Or Wrong! 

You Only Care About Oath And Allegiance! 

Yes, Yes, And Yes! 

I Already Told You That, Estalene! 

It's All About The Family! 

I Already Belong To The Family Of God

Mighty To Save, Sanctify, Bless And Glorify, Bom Bastic! 

Too Many Rules, Estalene! 

We Flit, Float, And Fly Free On The Wind Of Change! 

We Live By The Feels, The Sensations! 

It's All About The Experiences, The Adrenaline! 

We Like The Blow UP, UP, UP! 

I Now Understand What You Are About! 

I Now Get Your First Name: 

You Are The BomB, The Explosive Device

The Worker For Satan, The Devil

That Piercing Serpent, The Raging Lion, Beelzebub

The Lord Of Dung, The Engineer Of Sin

The One Who Caused Wicked Men To Kill My Lord Christ

The King Of Love, The Lord Of Life

The Savior Of All Mankind, Our Creator

Our Redeemer, Almighty God

The Judge Of All Flesh ... Who Is Very Much Alive

And Is Right Now In Heaven

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary 

Interceding ... For Me! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus! 

Bom Bastic, You Need To Stop Being A Tick 

And Get Back To The Basics! 

My Lord Jesus, Your Creator, Will Intercede For You, Too ... 

If You Will Let Him! 

Wait, Wait, Wait! 

Hold Up, Estalene! 

What Do You Mean By "Intercede For Me!?!" 

He Doesn't Know Anything About Me Thing Or Care About Me! 

Wow! 

This Is Interesting, Bom Bastic! 

You Went Straight For The Intercede 

And Totally Ignored That Jesus Christ Died 

And Rose Up To Heaven! 

Isn't One Of Your Slogans:

 

"Live However You Want To NOW 

Because When You Die

YOU'RE Forever DONE!?!" 

Yes, Yes, Yes ... But I Ain't Never Know That 

Somebody That Ain't Know Nothing 'Bout Me 

Would Put Out For Me 

When I've Never Touched Eyes Or Hands On Him! 

That, Bom Bastic, Is Jesus Christ For All Mankind: 

Free Salvation For The Taking! 

Lay Down The Rubbish Of Sin 

And The Foolishness Of Doubt And Disbelief

And Reach For The Holy Hand That 

Brings Hope, Help, And Healing 

For The Body, Mind, And Spirit 

And, Best Of All, The True Family 

Built On Truth, Love, And Righteousness

Not Following Those Things That 

Only Trend Toward Sin, Sorrow

And Unimaginable Shame ... And Regret! 

Estalene, I Didn't Know Any Of This! 

I Have Longed For ... For Belonging

To Have A Home For My Head And My Heart

You Know, The Forever Home For Me! 

Well, Dear Bom, Let's Get Comfortable

Get Into This Bible, The Lord's Love Letter To His People

And We Will Talk, Read, And Learn About 

Our Living Home With Our Lord Jesus 

Who Is Calling You By His Sweet Holy Spirit! 

My Dear, This Is His Grace For You At Work! 

Embrace The Blessing! 

AMEN!!! 

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Shilling For Satan!?!

 

Pardon Me!?! 

I Didn't Know That I Was Using Something Belonging To You To Believe In The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Maisey Clapped Her Hands Sharply And Continued Speaking In A Tone That 

Caused The Busy-Body Smirk On Malicia's Face To Disappear!

Malicia Devonish, I Am Only Going To Say This To You Once, And I Strongly Suggest That You Acquire A New Occupation! 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus Who Gives To All Of Us A Measure Of His Unfailing Faith To Use To Believe In Him, To Trust Him, To Do The Things That He Desires Us To Accomplish For Him, And To Bless Ourselves And Many Others, Stop Shilling For Satan By Discouraging Others Who Choose To Walk According To The Old Waymarks! 

Stop Making Your Nasty Remarks About Us Who, For Love Of The Lord Who Can't Lie, Choose To Wait On The Good Lord For Our Blessings! 

Satan "Helped" Eve Who "Helped" Adam To Bless Themselves With What Was Not Theirs To Have! 

The End Result!?! 

Mankind: Cursed! 

The Earth: Cursed! 

The End Result Of That Result!?! 

To Bless Mankind, The Lord Gave Us Work! 

Malicia, Get A Real Job, And Be A Blessing, And Stop Blasting Other People's Hopes! 

To Reverse The Curse Of Death And Damnation Placed Upon Mankind, And To Bless Him Eternally, The Father Gave His Son Who Became A Curse For Us Because He Took Our Sin Into Himself! 

Jesus Died Once For All Of Us So That People Like You Could Choose To Torpedo Other People's Faith, Love, Trust, Obedience, Working, Waiting, And Watching! 

Malicia, We Are Going To Pray For You Without Ceasing! 

We Are Going To Continue To Walk In Faith, Nothing Wavering, Before The Living God And In The Presence Of Ungodly People, Associating With Them Only As We May Bless Them In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

We Are Not Going To Lower The Lord's Standard, Nor His Standards To "Make Friends Or Influence People!" 

And Furthermore, Malicia, We Do Not Desire To Have A "Worship Experience" To See And Hear And Feel And Know To Tell People That Jesus Christ Is Real And That He Loves Us! 

Didn't The Lord Walk Among Us, Minister To Us, Die For Us, Get Up From Death And Rise Up To Glory To His Father, Our Father, And Even Now Is Interceding For Us In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary!?! 

Brethren, 

When We Choose To Be More, To Do More, To Add More, To Say More, To Believe More Than What The Lord Has Preserved For Us To Know And Live, Believe, Understand And Trust From His Book, We Are Using,  Selling, Distributing The Means And Methods Of Our Adversary The Devil, Satan, The Piercing Serpent, The Roaring Lion Who Is Looking For Sheep And Lamb That He Did Not Purchase! 

Malicia, My Dear, Please Remember The Hebrews In The Wilderness And Their "Worship Experience!" 

They Wanted A God That They Could See! 

They Coveted The Expression Of The Experience Of Their Former Overlords And, In Wanting What Was Not Life, Nor Health, Nor Blessing, They Sat Down To Eat And Rose Up To Play Mas ... In Honor Of A Demon! 

Dear Ones, 

I'm Beseeching Us All To Contend For The Faith Of Jesus And Do Not Be Conformed To The Ways Of This Wicked And Known Dying World! 

You Know, Putting Icing On Gingerbread Does Not Remove The Dark Color Or The Stinging Taste! 

Painting A Rock Silver Or Gold Does Not Increase Its Value Or Reduce Its Utility, So Please Don't Call Our Lord Jesus A Liar By Calling Satan A Sinner! 

A Sinner Is Born Of The Stock Of Adam, Knows That He's A Sinner, Will Acknowledge That He's A Sinner, And Being Convicted, Can Repent! 

Satan Knows That His Time Is Short: 

Don't Let Him Add Your Name To His Manifest! 

Be A Soldier Of The Cross: 

Let Us Dare And Confess The Lord Christ, Repent Of Our Sins Daily, And Boldly Load Them On That Satan's Back, And Be Free ... In Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Malicia, The Field Of Play, The Ground Of Endeavor, Is Open To You: 

Please Choose The Love Of God, Not The Lusts Of Life, And Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Failing That, Please Do Not Place Snares In The Path Of The Beloved People For Whom The Lord Christ Died! 

The Savior Is Waiting To Enter Your Heart, Our Hearts, So Let Us Let Him Come In By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Remember, Almighty God's Gifts Are Perfectly Good, Profoundly Simple, And Eternally Blessed! 

AND ... The People Of God Say ...

"We Are Serving The Lord

Who Sees, Feels, And Feeds Us!" 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
