Panacea For Pain And Problems!?!

... So Much Pain, Sorrow, And Suffering, And Yet There Is Only One Oft' Rejected Hope, Helper, Healer ... Savior! 

Why The Disconnect!?! 

He Is Gentle ... A Gentleman! He Knocks At The Door Of Our Hearts ... He'll Never Break In Because He's Waiting For An Invitation To Enter! 

He Speaks Kindly! He'll Never Override Your Decision To Ignore Him ... To Reject Him! 

He Extends An Invitation Exclusive To Each Person, Tailored To Each Life, Personal To Each Station In Life ... With No Condemnation! 

He Knows How We Are Made! Dare I Say, He Remembers That We Are Dust Because It Is He That Made Us And Not We Ourselves! 

Can You Imagine A Creator Asking His Creation If He Can Have A Heart To Heart Conversation With Us Because He Wants To Become A Personal Part Of Our Lives!?! 

Never Happen! 

You're Not Lying! 

Why Does He Do That When He Could Just Take Away The Breath Of Life That He Himself Gave Us!?! 

Oh, That's An Easy One To Answer! He Is God, He Is Love, He Is Truth, AND, Get This, He Loves Each One Of Us Personally, Intimately, Beyond Death! 

Masterson, You Had Me Until You Said "Beyond Death!" There Ain't Nothing Beyond Death! 

Digby, If You Had Attended Sabbath School Instead Of Going To Pitch Marbles, You Would Have Known That He Led Captivity Captive, As In He Conquered Death When He Died, And Rose From Death, And Rose Up To Heaven, And He Is All Now Interceding For Us Who Have Made Him Our Choice!

Masterson, You Really Believe All That Stuff That You Just Said!?! 

Digby, My Brother From Another Mother And Brother In The Lord, Without Fear Of Contradiction And With My Whole Heart, I Do! By His Grace, His Favor, He Gives Me Power, And I, Accepting That He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie, I Believed His Word, Accepted His Hand, His Love And Light, The Truth, To Walk In His Way That Leads To Life Everlasting! 

I Am Saved! I Am Blessed! I Am Being Sanctified Day By Day, And I Am Looking To That Great Day When He Shall Physically Come To Call His People Home To Himself, To Go To His Father's House Of Love And Peace, Glorified, Immortalized, Incorruptible! 

What A Day That Will Be! 

So, How Can I Get In On That Action!?! 

Digby, Call On The Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ, And You Shall Be Saved! 

I'm Telling You To Come Now, As You Are, But Be Prepared! 

Prepared For What!?! 

The Change! 

What Kind Of Change, Masterson!?! Talk Fast And Make My Day Beautiful Or Never Speak To Me Again! 

Jesus Says That He Stands At Your Door And Knocks, And If You Hear His Voice And Open Your Door, And Let Him In, He Will Come In And Sup With You, And You With Him! His Yoke Is Easy And His Burden Is Light! 

Being With Him, You Are Changed To His Likeness, And People Become Aware That You Have Been With Him! 

He Is Kind, Gentle, Loving, Giving, Caring, Helping, Inspiring Hope, And Promising An Expected End! 

He Does Not Promise A Cake-Walk, But He Assures A Hallelujah Ending ... Which Is The Beginning! 

Masterson!?! 

Yes, Digby!?! 

I Really Like, Even Love You, BUT I Realllly Want To Cuff You In The Top Of Your Head! 

Why All The Violence, Digby!?! Jesus Is Peace, Our Peace! 

Your Jesus Is Offering Me Bare Hard Work To Get A Sudden "Hallelujah Life" ...! 

... With Pleasures Forevermore AND His Peace Which Passes Human Understanding In The In-Between Time! 

You Gotta Love It! It Confuses That Satan When We Free-Will Choose To Accept Jesus' Offer! Maaaan, I Sing "Peace, Perfect Peace, In This Dark World Of Sin!" 

I Have Peace Within Because He Is Enough AND Sufficient! My Cup Of His Love Is Running Over! I Am Blessed! Can't You See Me Like King David Dancing For Joy!?! 

Okay, Call Him! 

Pray! 

I Said Call Him, Masterson! 

I Said Pray, Digby! 

Ohhhh, You Call Him By Praying! 

That's Right, Head Boy! 

Lord Jesus, Come Into My Heart Today, To Stay! For Long I Strayed, Please Don't Turn Me Away! The World Of Sin And Self Looked Pretty, But It Left Me Unclean! I Was Mean To Mam And Pappy, And I Said Bad Words To Bam And Happy! I Am Not Nice, And I Sure Don't Do Right! I Have Profaned Your Name, And Preferred Walking In The Darkness And Never The Light! Fix Me, Lord Jesus, For No One Else Can! Take Me As A Sheep Of Your Pasture And Lead Me To Your Promised Land! 

I'm Tired Of Sin And Suffering! I'm Tired Of Loss And Shame! I'm Tired Of Being Unclean! I Don't Want To Walk In Fallen Man's Acid Rain! Take Me Into Your Safe Fold! Lead Me Gently, Bless Me, Shape Me, Under Your Control! I Am Your Very Own! AMEN!!! 

Now Make Him Your Choice Every Day! Be Obedient And, With Patience, Endure All Things For Him! Do Right! Choose Life! Walk In The Light! When You Do Wrong, Repent! Trust Him, And Do Not Forget To Pray Always, And Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 

I Like That! 

Pass The Word Along: Share Your Faith! 

I Like That! 

And Sing! Sing Of Him! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Repentance Before Joy And Peace!

But I Just Want To Be Happy! I Want To Experience The Joy Of Living, And Definitely The Peace That Comes After Pleasure! 

Oh, Boy! You Sound Like A Hallmart Chard, Chelline! Whichever Cartoon Planet You're Now Coming From, They Obviously Never Told You That Your Paycheck Arrives After Your Work For The Specified Period Is Performed! You Don't Get Paid For Playing Around, Sweet Girl! 

Let Me Try, Kelis! 

Knock Yourself Out, Merrie! 

Chelline, We Love You, And We Are Trying Our Best To Help You Not To Have A Hard Row To Hoe In Your Life! 

Regret Is A Bitter Pill To Swallow, And A Hard One To Keep Down, Because It Constantly Rises Up In Your Throat Reminding You Of Things That Should Never Have Been Attempted Or Executed! 

That Sounds Like A "You" Problem, Merrie! 

You Had Better Believe It Was, Is, A "Me" Problem, Chelline, But Thank The Good Lord For His Grace And Mercy, I Came To Understand That Holiness Comes Before Happiness ... !  

... And Repentance Comes Before Joy And Peace AND None Come Before Jesus In Me! 

Oh, Cry Me A River, Kelis! 

You Sound Just Like I Did At Your Age, Chelline! 

Not You, Too, Figgi! 

Yes, Chelline, All Three Of Us Walked The Road That You Are Attempting To Enter So We Know What Happens There ... And Next! 

But I'm Not You! I Can Handle Myself! 

Oh, Chelline, I Feel For You! We All Said The Same Thing! Same Song Book, Same Song, Same Tune ... Same Result! Same Regret, Same If Only, Why Did I, If I Could Go Back! The Same Why Didn't Somebody Warn Me ... When Somebody Did ... Multiple Times! 

You're Just Trying To Scare Me! 

I Hope It's Working! 

Not You, Too, Aunt Mags! 

Yes, Chellie, Present And Accounted For! I Will Add Only One Thing To This Conversation: Jesus Christ Is Your Light And Your Salvation: Make Him The Love Of Your Life Now, While His Door Is Open To You, Before Mercy Steps Aside And Justice Is Enthroned, And Regret Will Never Become A Blip On Your Radar! 

You Are A Free Agent! You Are Blessed With Free Will, And You Have The Freedom To Exercise It ... As You See Fit! 

Prepare Your Canvas! Pencil Your Design! Pick Your Colors! Now, Go Paint Your World! 

Chelline!?! 

Yes, Ms. Merrie!?! 

You Will Notice That Your Aunt Mags Said "Pencil Your Design" And "Paint Your World!" Why Do You Think That Is!?! 

Everybody Knows That Pencil Marks Are Temporary Because They Are Erasable But Paint Is Permanent! 

Good Answer! So What Does That Mean To And For You!?! 

Pencil Is Planning Which Means That I Can Course Correct ... Hmmm ... But If I Lay Down Paint, I've Turned Plan Into Action, Indulged In Production, Committed To A Path, No Turning Back, End Result Is Rejoicing Or Remorse! 

I Can Try To Course Correct But The New Colors Might Clash, Or Become Muddy, Turning My Painting ... My Life ... Ugly ... Until I Want To Throw It All Away ... Unless I Cry Out To Jesus ... In Repentance ... And He Gives ... Me ... A New Canvas ... A New Life! 

That's My Girl! You Figured It Out! 

Yes, Ms Kelis! 

Okay, Here's One Last Thought For The Road: Can You Unreel Sticky Tape Without Marring The Sticky Part Or Leaving A Fingerprint!?! 

Of Course Not! 

Well, Ms Chelline, That's Your Life! Whatever You Touch, Torches You, Whatever You Mar, Marks You! Think On These Things! 

Choose Jesus First! 

I Love You, Baby Girl! 

Make Your Peace With The Lord! 

Thank You Ever So Much, Bonus Mumsies! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Buying Fruit Trees!?!

 Today, I Am Going To Talk About Buying Trees, And More Specifically, Fruit Trees! 

Bro. Bam, I Don't Have A Green Thumb So I Have Sworn Off Buying Fruit Trees, And Plants, And Flowers Because I Unfailingly Kill Them All! 

Well, My Friend, Asshur, You May Want To Listen In On This Session! 

Brethren, When We Go To Buy Fruit Trees, It Is Always With The Hope That What They Bear Is The Identical Thing To What You  Planted Aka Plum Tree: Plums ... Preferably Sweet; Tomato: Tomatoes; Mango: Mangoes ... Sweet And Juicy, And So On! 

Well, Let Me Tell You About Mortal ...! 

... What Kind Of Name Is That!?! 

It's The Name That His Parents Gave Him, So Back Up A Lot, Trundle! 

Well, Mortal Went To Eden's Garden Shop And He Bought A Half-Dozen Quick-Bearing Fruit Trees! 

Those Trees Already Looked Like They Were Pregnant To Him, So He Was Excited, And Then Some! He Even Started Singing A Lil' Ditty About Fruit In A Year, Then In Six Months, And Then In A Month! 

People Even Heard Him Muttering About How He Should Be Able To Get Fruit In A Week, And That He Would Get Fruit In A Week, Or Even A Day If He Made The Tree Himself! 

People Started Making Spirals Around Their Ears When They Finished Having A Conversation With Him! 

Well, One Day, Someone Who Had Grown Tired Of Mortal Disrespecting The Creator's Handiwork And Growing Process Asked Him What Kind Of Trees He Had Purchased! 

Puffed Up Like The Old Windbag That He Was, Mortal Arrogantly Said: "Choice! 

I Purchased Quick-Bearing Choice Trees!" 

I've Never Heard Of A Choice Tree, But I'm Willing To Taste The Fruit Of Your Harvest! 

Sorry, Foundit, That Fruit Is Already Spoken For, And It's All Mine! 

Okay, Mortal, Knock Yourself Out! I Can't Fight You For What's Yours! 

You Got That Right! Byeeee! 

Well, Long Story Real Short, The Day Of Harvest Came And Mortal Was Heard Screeching About Sabotage And A Boatload Of Other Rubbish Until Foundit Turned Up! 

Mortal, I Hear You Had A Fitting Harvest! 

What Do You Mean Fitting Harvest, Foundit!?! This Is A Disaster Of Gargantuan Proportions! I Don't Like The Fruit! 

I Don't Know Why, Mortal! You Said All The Fruit Was For You Alone! 

Yes, I Said That, Foundit, But I Don't Like It! 

Wow, Mortal, Astonishing! You Don't Like The Fruit Of Your Own Choice!?! Don't Make Me Laugh! 

Ain't This Just Like Life! You Made Your Decision, You Know, Your Choice! Your Consequence: You Know, Your Fruit To Eat ... AhhLone!!! 

How Do You Like Them Apples, Mortal Aka All For Me!?! 

Brethren, Mortal And His Fruit Trees Called Choice, Are A Metaphor For Life! 

You Pick Your Own Path With Or Against Good Advice, And You Enjoy, Or Don't, Your Chosen Journey! The Results, The Consequences ...! 

...  Stop Right There! Split The Word: Con Is "With" And Sequences Is "Steps" BUT The Problem Is That The Prefix "Con" In This Instance Is A Negative Hence We Have Negative Steps Aka Steps Down For Us ... Mortals! 

My Peoples, See That You Get Wisdom, And In All Your Getting, Get Understanding ...! 

...  To Use Knowledge The Right Way To Fill Your House, Your Rooms, With Pleasant And Precious Things! 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Learn From Your Mistakes And The Mistakes Of Others: Let The Good Lord Show You Which Fruit Trees To Cultivate To Bear Choice Fruit Fit For His Table! 

Peace! 

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: We Are Suggestible But ...!

Pasha, Do You Remember Playing That Game, "I'm Not Touching You!" When We Were Little!?! 

Dolly, That Was Not A Game! That Was An Annoyance, Torture, A Fret, A Switch Making You Itch To Lay Out Someone In A Ditch! 

Awwww, You Remembered! 

Who Could Forget!?! 

Why Do You Ask, Dolly!?! 

Satan Aka The At-A-Distance Cattle-Prod Bane Of Christian Life! 

You Must Mean The Not-Social Media Influencer Racking Up Subscribers And Views! 

Yup, That One! 

Dolly Dinks, That Damned Devil Can't Make Us Do Anything But, Oh, He And His Cohort Can Annoy Us Until We Act To Make Sure He And His Mess Misses Us, Or Encourages Us To Succumb To Suggestion And Make A Mess Of Our Lives, Forgetting Our Mission For And To The Master! 

Pasha, You Do Remember That There Is No Sin In Temptation, Don't You!?! 

Dolly, I Remember And Am Glad For And Blessed By It! All I Need To Do Is Pray And Aggressively Swat That Suggestion To Sin Down Hard With A "Thus Saith The Lord!" So That It Does Not Rear Its Ugly Head Again! If I Don't Do That, It Is Going To Get Closer And More And More Intrusive, And Annoying, Until I, Offended, Aggrieved, Wishing The Relief Of Peace, Choose Interaction, And Foolishly Loosen My Leash On Love! 

Lord, Forbid It! 

We Need To Be Sober, Vigilant, Against That Lion's Roaring! 

What He's Doing Is Common To Man, So By Almighty God's Grace, His Favor, His Blessings Upon Us, We Can Overcome! 

Indeed! 

We Must Deny The Liar And Reach For The Hand Of Hope That Brings Help And Healing! 

Mistakes Happen, But The Lord Has Given Us The Pen Of Truth AND The Eraser Of Sin That Is Sure Salvation! 

Let's Lean On The Love of God That Is The Light Of Love Which Is Plain! 

We Have The God Of Grace! 

Don't Forget The Prince of Peace! 

Dolly, I Have To Go! 

Don't Forget Your Appointment At The Secret Place Of The Most High! 

I Won't, Pasha! My Very Life Depends On It! 

AMEN!!! 

We Are Suggestible, But We Don't Have To Be Gullible, So Let's Not Give In To The Temptation To Touch! 

I Hear THAT, And I Will Trust In And Lean On My Jesus! 

AMEN, Again And Again! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: During The Between!?!

Yup, Yup! That's It! "During The Between!" I Like It!!! 

Perhaps, Maury, If You Told Us What "During The Between!" Means We Would Like It, Too! 

Oh, Sorry, Corrie, I Was Thinking Out Loud For A Moment But Since You Heard Me, Have You Considered The Events, Happenings, Occasions, The Goings-On That Occur In The Interval From One's Sunrise To One's Sunset To Give It A Suitable Appellation!?! 

Maury, Must You Always Be Such A High-Flyer!?! Couldn't You Just Have Asked Us To Give It A Name; And No, I Did Not! 

What About You, Dingus!?! 

Truth Be Told, I Saw Something That Is Going To Make Me Say Something That Will Challenge And Yet Align Perfectly With Your "During The Between!" ... If You Are Or Become A Christian!

 Father-Managed Natural Regeneration! 

Our Father In Heaven, Jesus Christ The Lord, Is To Manage Our Lives As We Follow Him Faithfully For Love During That Time Between Sunrise And Sunset! 

Hammie, I Like Where This Is Going! 

You Ain't Lying, Louie! 

Now, Brethren, Don't Miss This Point! 

Say On, Maury! 

Brethren, If We Are Faithful, Patient ... Enduring, The Obvious Outcome At The Appointed Hour That None But Our Father Knows, Is, Naturally, Regeneration ... By The Word Of His Mouth ... When He Calls His Saints To Rise Up To Meet Him In The Air On That Glad And Glorious Day That Is His Second Coming! 

Beloved, Doesn't That Dash Between Dates, That "During The Between!" Time Take On A Whole New Meaning Aka Acquire A Whole Different Gravitas!?! 

Couldn't Help Yourself, Could You, Maury!?! 

Nope, Norrie! 

Gravitas Somehow Seemed More Apropos, You Know, Fitting, Pertinent, For Such A Solemn Season! 

Maury, We Understand, And Yes, We Accept That It Is Fitting! 

You Know, We Should Be Thinking To Make Our Dash, Our "During The Between!" Our Moment By The Grace Of Our Heavenly Father, Truly Father-Managed So That, Naturally, We Will Experience The Regeneration, For We Will Have Been Sealed By The Holy Spirit Who Led Us Into All Truth For Our Faithfulness ... To The End! 

Live ... To Live Again! Let The Father Lead You Along! 

Dear Ones, It Is My Sincere Prayer For All Of Us That It Will Be Said Of All Of Us That "During The Between!" We Stood Up For Him Who Laid Down His Life For Us! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You Personally Matter To The Master!

 

I Matter! 

Of Course, You Matter, Marsha! 

I Matter To The One Who Matters! 

And Who, Pray Tell, Would That Be, Marsha Mann! 

Since You Gave Me My Name, Devory Manwaur, I, Marsha Mann, Matter To The Master! There Ain't Nobody Higher Nor Bigger Than He Is, And There Ain't Nobody To Overrule, Nor Undermine, Sidestep, Or Countermand His Commands, Nor Teach Him Knowledge, Nor To Correct His Errors Because He Doesn't Make Errors Because He Is Perfect! 

He Is The God Who Alone Is Wise! I Belong To Him: He Is My Lord And My King! 

I Can Touch The Hand Of God Because I'm In The Heart Of God! I Rest In God Because I Trust In God, And I Have Peace! You May Want To Check Him Out! 

Oh, And By The Way, If You Have A Problem With Me, Please Feel Totally Free To Take It Up With Him: You Will Need To Pray! 

Ooopsies, I Forgot! Praying Won't Work For You Because, Per You, "Praying Is Stupid And Is A Crutch For Weak-Minded People Who Are Afraid To Belly-Up To The Trough Of Life To Get And Take Their Portion Of The Feed For All!" 

Oh, My, Whatever Will Our Dear Manwaur Do! 

Manwaur, We All Get One Shot To Make A Good Impression: There Are No Second-Firsts! Take This Shot To Get Out Of "Hell's Kitchen!" 

Come Out, Manwaur! I Got Out! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Prayer Changes Things! Have A Conversation With The King, No Appointment Needed, No Security Buffering, No Nosy Assistants, No Clocks, No Leakers Of Your Past Misdeeds, No Judgment, No Suspicion, No Rejection! 

Look, Marsha, I've Never Heard About A God Who Doesn't Want, Doesn't Demand And Require Constant Gifts And Sacrifices From Its Adherents, Its Followers, To Gain And Retain Their Favor! Why Would Your Sky God Be Any Different!?! 

Mr. Manwaur, I Am Going To Rock Your World Right Now! 

The Sky God, As You Call Him, Is God Almighty, The For-Real God, Not An Impostor! He Lives Above The Sky And Is Holding It Up Even As He Walks With Us Under It! 

He Sacrificed His Life For Us To Give Us The Gift Of Access To Himself! He Daily Gives Us Gifts ... And Our Mercies Are Ever New! 

We May Storm His Throne-Room Whenever We Want, For Whatever Reason, Without Getting Ourselves Tackled, Or Being Left Without Body Heat! 

He Answers Our Hard Questions With Answers Easy To Grasp! Manwaur, He Comforts Me Because He Cares! I May Not Always Be Able To Feel His Presence But ...! 

... You're Kidding, Right!?! You Don't Feel God, You See God! 

My Poor Deluded Manwaur! Every Manufactured God Is A Fiction Of Satan The Damned, And They Are Fronts To Cause People To Worship Demons! 

My Jesus Speaks, Loves, Hears, Touches, Carries, Comforts, Walks, Prays For His People ... He Is Praying For Me! 

He Promised Never To Leave Me Nor Forsake Me, And That Is Why I Can Confidently Say That When I Can't Feel His Presence, I Can Trust His Heart: His Word Is The Truth: He Can't Lie: His Word Is Who He Is! 

Uh, Ummm, That Is Quite A Recommendation, And It Seems That I May Have Been Operating Under A Delusion, If You Will, Marsha! 

You Have, Manwaur, And It Is Time To Correct The Record! 

Dear Marsha, If You Will Walk With Me, I Sincerely Believe That I Will Do The Necessary! I Will Correct The Record! 

Hallelujah! Another Brand Plucked From The Fire! The Holy God Be Praised! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: We Have No Help But HIM!!!

If You Have No Help But The Living God, Why Would You Treat Him Like Your Last Class "Friend" Called Convenience Good For The Assist At The Usual Place Known To All Living As The Tight Spot Between Pinch And Bind And In A Crunch!?! 

Since You Know Without A Doubt That He Has Never Failed You Not Even One Time, Because He Always Does What Is Best For You, Since He Is The Only Wise God And Can See Around The Bends In Your Life That Would Either Tie You Into Knots, Even A Gordian Knot, Or Break You Into Bits And Pieces Leaving You Dull In Mind And Sharp-Tongued With A Flaming Temper With No Self-Editing Feature, Why Would You Ignore His Kind Counsel And Guidance On His Pleasant Plans For Your Perfect Life In, For, And With Him!?! 

Brethren, Let Me Tell Us All Something Real Bright! 

The Always Available Goodie Train Called Daddy Lord Jesus Is Soon Going To Come To A Screeching Halt! 

Has He Been For You Conveniently Good For The Direly Needed "Solid" For A Bind, A Pinch, A Crunch, Or Is He, Has He, All Along Been Your Hope, Your Help, Your Hiding Place!?! 

Beloved, All Relationships, Just Like Motors, Must Be Lubricated! Rivers Dry Up Without In-Flows! Love Relationships Need Energy To Glow-Up! Friendships Dry Down And Out From A Lack Of Share! Relationships Fall Apart And Die Off Because Of "Give Me To Show Me That You Care!" 

This Is Not The Way That We Should Be Treating Our Maker, God, And Soon Returning King! 

We Serve The God Who First Loved Us And Shows Us Daily What He Has Done, Is Doing, And Will Do For Us! 

We Ought To Love Him For Love Alone! 

He Asks Us To Come To Him ... Voluntarily ... For Love ... To Enter His Forever Home! 

Dear Ones, Let's Not Be Bread And Fish Christians Wanting Only The Goodies But Not The Grind In The Dark Valleys Of Life, Expecting Him To Foot The Bills, Open The Doors, Lift The Weight, Carry The Water, Bake And Serve The Bread, Wash Our Feet And The Dishes, Carry The Conversation, Smooth The Rough Paths, Sail The Ship, Find The Port And Dock Alone, Pay The Fees, Ferry The Luggage, Find And Turn Down The Bed, Fluff The Pillow, And Always Ever Provide The Sweet! 

Ask Yourself The Boss Question: 

What's In This Boondoggle Of

"I Don't Want No Part Of This For Myself!"

That I Would Want For The Lord Jesus!?! 

If You Knew That Your Cherished Love Was Boldly, Brazenly, Publicly "Loving" You Like That, Would You Continue The Relationship ... Sooo Called!?! 

Brethren, I Am Seriously Looking At Myself! Shouldn't You!?! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Giving And Forgiving, Merciful And Gracious, And To His Living Word, Ever True! 

Let Us With Joyful Hearts, Praise The Lord Because We Truly Know That He Is Kind, And Then Bid Him With Broken And Contrite Hearts To Help Us Get Off The Path Of Sure Destruction And On To The Path Of His Perfection!

Please Let Us Reach For His Hand Of Help Which Brings Hope And Healing, And His Glorious Heaven Ever Near! 

Let's Ask Him For The Purge, The Clean Out, And The Renew! 

He, God, Is Waiting On You, And Me, Too! 

All Now, He Is Sprinkling Upon Us Unasked Blessings Numbered Not A Few! Please, I Beseech Us All, To Him Be True! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Thoughts From My Mount Of Blessing!

 

Brethren, 

I Desire For Us All To Think On This Thing: 

The Lord Jesus Desires Us To Rise Up! 

To Do This, He Has Given Us The Elevator And The Electricity To Make That Elevator Go ...! 

Our Job Is To Believe On The Lord, And Trust Him At His Word! 

Our Elevator Is Not Placed In The Back Of Beyond, But Is Securely Fixed And Is The Show-Piece Of The Household Of Faith! 

That Elevator Will Never, Ever, Malfunction And Free-Fall With The Ability To "Done You!" 

As For You, You Are Constructed From The Dust Of The Earth And Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made By The Great God Who Does Not Make Mistakes: 

He Breathed Into Your Nostrils

The Breath Of Life From Himself

And

You Became A Living Soul Imbued With Free Will

And

Freedom To Choose

The Life You Desire For Yourself! 

This Great God, Who Alone Is Wise, Gave Unto Us The Blue-Print For Life: It Contains The Only Paths Of Life For Living!

Those Paths As He Delineated Them Are The Way Of Blessing Walking To Him And The Way Of Cursing Walking Away From Him: Whichever Path You Choose, You Will Never Be Able To Say That The Eternal God, Finite Man, Nor The Damned Devil Made Your Decision For You! 

Please Ever Bear In Your Mind The Fact That With Every Day That Your Eyes Are Open, You Receive A Deposit Of Electricity, An Infusion Of Faith For That Day Alone, To Operate That Elevator, Your Elevator, That None But You May Cause To Function! 

You Are The Blessed Recipient Of Strength For Your Day And Courage For The Way That You Walk In The Great Creator's Will!

Your Assignment, If You Choose To Take It, Is To Press That Elevator Button Which Is Always In Your Line Of Sight!

Your Ability To Press That "Go On Up!" That "Let Me Rise!" Button Hinges On Your Utilization Of The Prayer Of Faith!

The Great God, The Creator-God, The Kind King Who Is The King Of Love, Gives You Everything That You Need To Trust Him To Do All That He Says That He Will Do: He Is Not A Liar But You Are, Being Human, A Man, As The Word Says: Let God Be True And Every Man A Liar! 

I Ask Us All This Question: Will You Trust In Our Great God And Use His Gift To You To Believe In Him, To Press Your Personalized Button, To Lift Yourself Up ... In, Through, And By Him!?!

You Can Will Yourself To Do Of His Good Pleasure: All Of His Gifts Are Good And Perfect And Contain No Sorrow!

There Is A Caution On Your Elevator: Do Not Look At What Others Do, What They Have, Where They Go, And Those With Whom They Associate!

Be They Sinner Or Saint, Every Person's Elevator, Used Or Ignored, Is Unique To That Person: Keep Your Eyes On The Great God, The Great Physician, The Prince Of Your Peace!

You Will Have Tribulations: Be Of Good Courage For He Has Overcome The World, And You Can Do Likewise Through Him Who Loves You Personally, Intimately, With The Everlasting Love Which Will Not Let You Go!

Believe And Live!

Your Maker, Your God, Your King, Bids You "Peace!" 

Brethren, 

We Do Not Need Fingers Or Noses To Operate, To Elevate, Our Elevator: Pray ... Without Ceasing!

Listen To The Lord And Live! 

Hear The Word And Do What It Says: The New City, The New Jerusalem, Is Over The Next Rise! 

Keep Walking Straight, On Strait Street, And On The Appointed Day, You Will Walk Straight In Through The Pearl Gate Signifying The Character Flaw That You By Grace, Through Faith, Overcame! 

Please Press The Blessed Button! 

I Pray To See You And You See Me When We Safely Arrive At Our Forever Home! 

Dear Lord, 

Grant Grace! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Problumps!?!

 

Yes, Dingus, I Said Problumps! 

But What Is It And What Does It Mean, Lorimer!?! 

It Simply Means, Dingus, That If You Do Not Fix Your Problem Early, Then You Will Have To Take Your Lumps, Hence Problumps! 

Oh, Lorimer, We All Know About Them Problumps As You Call Them! I Even Got One Yesterday Once Removed! 

Come On, Dingus! Couldn't You Just Say Two Days Ago!?! 

I Could Not Say That, Marcy, Because I Did Not Want To Dignify That Stretch Of Time By Calling It A Day! 

Just Ignore Him, Marcy! He's Having Himself A Moment! 

Bowman, My Friend, I Can't Ignore Him Because He Is Forgetting One Itty Bitty Thing From The Scripture Of Truth! 

And What Would That Be, Marcy!?! 

The Day That He Is Despising, Bowman, Is The Day That The Lord Of Glory Gave Him To Rejoice Over, To Get His Wrong Things Right, To Carry His Problems Aka His Perplexities And Anxieties To The Throne Of Grace So That He Would Not Have To Bear His Problems Alone And End Up Getting A Few Lumps In His Feelings, And On His Hard Noggin, Because He Is Not Grateful To Have His Life! 

Oh, Dear Dingus, Marcy Has Got You There And With Bible Proof! 

No, She Does Not, Bowman! She Only Gave One Proof! She Must Have At Least Two Witnesses For A Matter To Be Established! 

Dingus, I Believe That I Am Able To Help You With That Second Proof! 

Okay, Bowman, Prove On! 

Dear Deluded Dingus, Did You By Any Chance Have A Meal Or Three Yesterday Once Removed!?! 

Of Course, I Did, And I Had Two Snacks Besides! It Was A Wonderful Day! 

Dingus, Don't You Know That You Shouldn't Eat Between Meals!?! 

No, I Do Not, Bowman! I Eat Between Teeth! 

Big Whoo Who, Dingus! Let's Stick To The Matter At Hand, And Let Me Remind You That You Didn't Want To Dignify That Space Of Time By Calling It A Day Even Though You Were Blessed With Three Meals Plus Snacks! 

My Bad, Bowman! 

Now, Dingus, What Is The "Give" Asked Of The Father In The Lord's Prayer!?! 

That's Easy, Bowman! That's Matthew 6 Verse 11: "Give Us This Day Our ... Daily Bread ... !" 

Close Your Mouth, Dingus! You Look Like A Guppy! How Are You Feeling Now!?! 

I, Uh, Ahh ...! 

I Thought So! You Despised The Day That The Lord Gave You, And You Said Your Prayers Asking For Your Daily Gift Of Food, Which You Received, Plus Extras, And You Didn't Have The Decency To Bless The Lord For Another Day Of Life! 

You Should Give The Lord Thanks For That Day Because We Could Have Been Singing "The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended!" Over Your Head ... Not That You Would Have Known The Difference! 

I Am So Very Sorry, Lorimer, Marcy, Bowman, For My Base, My Ungrateful, My Unthankful Attitude! I Asked For Proofs, And I Surely Received Them! Thank You All For Caring About Me: I Have Been Rebuked! 

Heavenly Father, Please Forgive Me For Not Giving You Heartfelt Thanks And Praise In Jesus Christ's Holy Name For Your Manifold Blessings Daily Showered Upon Me! AMEN!!!

 Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Stick To The Lord!

Commune Is A Place! 

Communion Is A Sacrament! 

Communicate Is A Conversation! 

Communication Is A Transfer Of Information By Any Means! 

Yet, We Commune With The Lord, Our God, In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Righteous, By Our Prayers And Praises! 

We Remember The Lord Jesus By Celebrating The Last Supper, Having A Communion Service Which Is Also Called The Ordinance Of Humility Aka Foot-Washing, And Breaking Of Unleavened Bread And Drinking Of Grape Juice! 

We Communicate With The Lord By The Reading Of The Preserved Word Of God, The King James Bible, The Lord's Love Letter To The Purchased Possession, His People, And Also With Our Prayers And By Our Praise AND The Giving Of Heartfelt Thanks! 

Our Communication With Our Lord Jesus Is Truly Two-Way Because We Not Only Have An Open Invitation To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy And Grace To Help Us In Our Time Of Need, But The Invitation, Another Open Invitation, Is Issued To Us To Come And Reason With The King Of Glory! 

Brethren, We Do Not Have To Imagine And Hope, We Need To Accept And Dare To Act Upon Our Heaven-Granted Access To The I AM, The Creator Of All Things Visible And Invisible, Seen And Unseen, Who Condescends Aka Lowers Himself Aka Came Down To Our Level To Make Himself Known, Knowable! 

Dear Ones, Greatly Beloved Of The Infinite, Let Us Not Sell Ourselves Short By Buying Into The Sophistries, The Decorated Untruths Of The Father Of Lies, Satan, The Devil, The Roaring Lion, The Piercing Serpent, Beelzebub, The Lord Of Dung! 

Dung Is Waste Matter! 

The Roar Of That Lion Which Would Make You Pee Yourself, Is Coming From A Serpent Who Goes For Your Extremities! With Your Heart Guarded, Filled With The Love Of Almighty God And The Word Of Truth, You Can Rest Assured Of Christ's Free To You Salvation When You Realize, Recognize, That That Piercing Serpent's Venom Is Beelzebub's, The Lord Of Dung, Dung: It Has No Power Over The Lord's People Who Follow Him Wherever He Goes! 

Brethren, Stick To The Lord Jesus Who Stuck To The Cross For The Love Of You! 

The Lord Jesus, The Great I AM, IS, But Satan Is A Shape Shifter! 

Character Matters! 

Remember, Beloved, Nothing Can Separate You From The Love Of Jesus Because, Hell Or Heaven, Wherever You Are, He Is! 

In Sickness Or Health, In Little Or Much, Before The Kingly Powers Or The Ratchets Rising Aka Those With No Morals Who Take No Responsibility For Their Destructive Ways, Your Beliefs Aka Your Stance For Jesus, Your Standing In Jesus, Will Save Your Soul! 

Satan Is A Defeated Foe! 

Please Give Your All For The Lord Jesus Who Gave His All, His Life, For You! 

Dare To Resist Unto Blood Under The Blood-Stained Banner Of Prince Immanuel, The Prince Of Peace, Our Very Own Jesus Christ, The King Of Glory! 

Think Of Hearing His Voice Uttering The "Welcome Home, Children!" 

Again: Satan Is A Defeated Foe! 

Be At Peace With Almighty God: Pray, Read The Word, Give Praise, Give Thanks, Pray The Promises Of God! 

Walk Humbly Before Our God! 

Look Up: Our King Is Coming! 

Jehovah Shalom! The Lord Is Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Whence Comes Your Fear, Your Hope!?!

Fear And Hope, By Virtue Of Their Cause Of Generation, Inherently Have Absolute Power Over One's Thoughts, Words, And Actions! 

Under Which Circumstance Would This Be A Good Thing!?! How About A Bad Thing!?! 

Here's Your Scenario: A Story Is Being Spread That Has Its Basis In Biblical Juris Prudence! Those Who Stand With The Brave In The Faith That Cannot Fail Are Passing The Word Along! Multitudes, Convicted And Convinced, Are Joining With Them! Those Who Are Taking The Adversarial Role Fear That The Word As Given Is True And Hope That It Is Not, And Rabidly Seek To Suppress And Scrub The Good And Saving Word From Existence, And Destroy The Character And Standing Of The Believers! Jesus Christ Is Coming Again ... And Soon! Seek The Truth, And Speak ...! 

Will It Be For The Life-Giver Or For The Liar!?! 

Yes, Reenie!?! 

I Fear God ... After The Godly Sort, In Awe At His Majesty, And I Give Glory To Him! I Hope, By Faith, To See My Lord Jesus In Perfect Peace So I Choose, Of My Free Will, To Practice What His Preserved, Perfect Word Teaches So That I May Wear His Robe Of Righteousness ... Right Living, Doing, Saying, Thinking, Being, Believing! 

Nicely Said, Reenie! 

Yes, Breezy!?!

Fear, Schmeer! Hope, Rope! Look, Look Off, Live! Fear Traps, And Hope Hangs! I Have No Use For Either Or Neither! That's A Rather Blasé Attitude To Have As A Christian, Breezy! 

Who Said That I Was A Christian, Candy Kane!?! 

The Room Went Silent! 

Loyal Mann Was The First To Recover! 

Breezy ... If You Are Not A Christian, Or Trying To Become A Christian, Why Are You Constantly Here Amongst The Lord's Faithful, Being So Helpful, And Contributing So Generously To All The Programs We Sponsor In Our Community And In The Church Family!?! 

Well, Foolish Mann ... 

The Brethren Gasped ... 

Since You Are Bold And Asking Plainly, I Am Here To Do A Yoeman's Service! 

I Watch You To Obstruct You! I Learn From You To Spurn You! I Feed Off You To Fan Fury Against You, And I Commiserate With You To Eventually Help To Obliterate You And Obfuscate Your Work! 

I Feed Your Fears And Choke Your Hope! I Down Your Ups And Up Your Downs! 

You Know, You All Are Not Very Smart! 

You Open Your Hand And Your Heart To Any And Everybody! 

You Forget That Your Biggest Enemy Is The Enemy Within! 

You Believe That Anybody Can Be Saved By Your Jesus! 

You Fail To Accept That Not Everybody Desires, Even Cares About Wanting To Or Being Saved! 

I'll Answer The Question About Fear And Hope ... Again! 

My Kind Does Not Want Your Brand Of Hope Spreading So We Choose To Use Our Kind Of Fear, The Fear Of Being Outside Of The Majority, Being Contrary To Consensus, To Taint Your Talent Pool That Is Awaiting Their Call Up To Duty! 

I'll Give You A Freebee As I Exit! 

We Fear The Freedom Of Your Expected Future So We Choose To Poison The Peace From The Prince Of Your Present! 

The Prayer Meeting Took On A Whole New Meaning After He Left! 

Lord Jesus, Have Mercy Upon Us Even As We Trust In You! AMEN!!! 

Brethren, We Have Been Roughly Warned! Let's Beseech Our Loving Lord For Discernment, Wisdom, Understanding, Obedience, And, Lord, Help Us ... Time And Again ... Faithful Endurance! Help Us Always To Pray And Not Faint! Help Us To Keep Our Eyes And Hearts Focused And Fixed Upon You! Keep Us In The Holy Way, And Never Turning Aside To Fads And Fables! 

Help Us To Stay Committed ... Carry Us, Lord, And Keep Us Sheltered, Protected, Under The Covert Of Your Wings, Is Our Hearts' Plea! Help Us To Keep Hope Alive And Not To Fear The Battle! AMEN!!! 

Brethren, The Devil Is The Liar, And Jesus Christ Is The Truth For Today And Our Light To Banish The Darkness Of Error And Death, And Our Only Way To The Eternal Life! 

Let's Not Be Distracted! Let's Make Sure To Keep Seekers For Truth Impacted By Our Good Works For The Eternal God So That They May Glorify Him Who Reigns In Heaven! The Truth Sets The Sinner Free! Fear Him Who Can Destroy You Body And Soul In Hell! Hear, Hear!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Set Your Faces Like Flint, Like An Adamant Stone, Against The Enemy Of Souls! 

By God's Love, We Will!! 

AMEN!!! 

The Lord's Our Battle Ax ...! 

... And He's Never Dull! 

Hallelujah, Jesus!!! 

Jesus Is Our Peace! 

AMEN!!!
