Trusting The Kind, Loving, Master You Cannot See!







If To Be Rich, You Had To Be Kind 
And
To Be Powerful, You Had To Be Poor 
Which Would You Do ... And Why 
And
Why Not The Other!?! 

If To Be Rich And Powerful
You Had To Be Gentle And Generous
Giving And Forgiving
What Would You Do!?! 

If To Enter Into Everlasting Joy
To Have Eternal Peace 
And 
Know Love Forevermore
You Had To Be Always Obedient 
Enduringly Faithful
Grow Where You Are Planted
Trust The Master You Can't See
Walk According To His Will 
On A Way You Can't Fathom
And
Persevere In All Trials 
Even Though Persecuted 
And 
In Constant Pain
Would You Hold On To A Promise That 
Does Not Have A Human Hope Of Fulfillment 
Just Because He Says: 
"Believe And Receive!?!" 

Where Do You Stand On Going Through Dying Hell 
To Get To Living Heaven!?! 

Beloved, 

Pray
And
Reflect On Your Past Journeying 
And
Consider Your Present Walking 
As You Remember Whose Child You Are 
And
Read And Answer The Questions Again! 

You Are Greatly Beloved 
And 
Infinitely Blessed! 

Peace Be Upon You!

There Are No Shortcuts To Glory!






Beloved, 

We Are Warned And We Are Encouraged: 

Godly Lives Lived In The Lord Christ 
Call Forth Persecution 
And
Staying The Course With The Lord Christ 
Leads To The Crown Given By The Lord Christ! 


There Are No Shortcuts To Glory! 


We Need To Know The Living God That We Believe In
What It Is That We Are Striving For
The Tricks Of The Trade Of Our Adversary, Satan
And 
The Ways And Methods Of Our Savior-King
Jesus Christ The Lord
Our Great Example! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 
Never ... Ever
Seek To Battle Our Known Enemies In Our Own Strength
Using Their Tactics 
And 
Following Their Rules! 


The Lord Jesus Christ
Is
Our Shepherd
Our Refuge
Our Strength!


We Are Christians
Servants Of The Eternal God
Children Blessed 
And 
Diligent Students Of The Living Word! 

Our Enemies Will Be Many 
And 
Their Tactics Truly Evil 
So Let Us ... As Missionaries For The Lord Christ 
Become Humbly Determined
Enduringly Committed
And 
Faithfully Striving For The Prize That 
Is 
The Upward Call 
While Maintaining A Light Hold 
On The Things Of This World! 

Covet No Man's Gold, Silver Or Raiment 
And
Choose ... At All Costs 
To Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Teach, Guide 
And 
Chide Aka Correct You 
As You Walk Toward Our Forever Home! 

Truth Wins! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: WHO DONE IT: One Letter ...!?!





The Case Is Not ... Is ... Over!
They've Been Tied Up In Knots
And
All Because Of One Letter
Good People Are Being Given The Blot!

They Can't Stay!
They Have To Go!
They Aren't To Speak To Anyone
And
Anyone Who Answers Them
Must Give The Approved Answer ...!

... Which Is!?!

No! No! No!

But How Did This Happen!?!

It Was A Destroyer's Special!

He Changed One Letter In Praying Family's Name
And
Now They Are To Be By All Thoroughly Disdained!

Praying Family Is A Delight To Know
But
They Were Against Dark Lord's Bank Balance 
Making Deep Inroads By Telling The Truth
Doing The Good And The Right
Blessing God By Blessing Others
Telling The Good News Gospel
To The World And His Brother
And
Not Preying Upon Sisters, Friends
Brothers, Co-Workers
Relatives And Others!

Dark Lord Flipped The Script
And
Instead Of The Praying Family
Praying For Self And Others
They Are Now Publicly Branded
As The Preying Family
Preying With Malice 
Upon The Citizen Sisters And Brothers!

It Was A Stroke Of Evil Genius!

All Because Of One Letter!?!

No!
It Was Because The Good Praying Family
Was Causing Others To Believe That
They Could Change
That They Could All Things Well
That They Could Be A Blessing To Others
And That 
- This Was The Kicker -
Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost!

All The Publicl- Known Violations Against 
The Preying Family
- Those Known Crooks, Robbers
Liars, Murderers And Thieves -
Were Transferred To The Praying Family's Record
And
They Were All Arrested
Tested
Rejected
And
From The Society Of Men
Needing Soul Salvation
Ingloriously Ejected!

Lord, Help Us!

There Is No Recourse!
There Is No Appeal
And
For A Vengeful Lie
Everything That They Diligently
Conscientiously Worked For
They've Been Forced To Leave!

I Guess You Know That This Doesn't End Here
That Dark Lord Has Something Else Nasty
Under His Long, Black Sleeves ...!

... And Jesus Christ The Righteous
Has The Whole World In His Hand
And
Every Believer In His Heart!
We Are The Apple Of His Eye!

But, Wait
How Is The Family Taking It!?!

Just As Normal ... As Part Of The Journey!
They Are Praying, Praising
Trusting, Hoping
Speaking Truth In Righteousness!

That's Good! 

They Believe That God Is In The Moment ...!

... In All The Moments!

... And You'd Be Right! 
Almighty God Is The Eternal Spirit 
Who Inhabits ... With Us ... Time And Space
Past, Present, And Future
And
All Times And All Places!

He Was ... He Is! 
He Is To Come!
He Was Dead ... Is Alive
And 
Is Alive Forevermore!

He Holds The World In His Hands 
And 
He Dwells Within The Regenerated Believer's Heart! 

He Is Hope For Today
And 
The Promise For The Future!

He Created Time
And 
He Is Not Restricted By Time! 

He Knows Our Needs For The Duration Of Our Lives
And 
He Reaches Into The Time Not Yet Constructed 
And 
Makes Provision For What Is Needful 
So As ... As He Says 
To Give Us A Hope ... A Future, 
An Expected  End!

He Is Our Great Awesome God!
He Is Holy! 
He Is Creator! 
He Is Divine!

Brethren, 

Dark Days Are Ahead For All Of Us
Who Choose To Believe In
And
Enduringly, Willingly, Lovingly 
Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ
So, Please, Let Us Keep Our Thoughts
Our Words
Our Actions
To Him Ever, Always, Inclined!

I'll Speak The Truth!
Jesus Christ Is Mine
And Heaven At The Last Trumpet
Shall Surely Be Mine!

Our God Is Ever Faithful
Ever Present
Ever Kind
And
Not One Of His Faithful Children
Shall Be Left Alone
Or Left Behind!


With The Almighty God
As Our Healer, Feeder, Leader And Sealer
There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause Us To Repine!

Let Us Pray With Passion Always
And
On Jacob's Climb Confidently Climb!
The Praying With Faith Family
Will Be More Than Fine!

That If I Walk Faithfully, Obediently, With Him
And I Should Die The Death 
Appointed Once To All Mankind
That He Shall Call Me Forth From The Prison-House
Of Death
To Rise Up To Meet Him In The Air
And Thence On To Glory
To Live On The Peaceful Shore!
Let This For Me Be Daily Made Sure!

Father,
I Believe The Promises Given
And I Am Blessed Daily By The Promises Already Kept!
I Am Walking By Faith
And Not By Carnal Eyesight
And I Am Living With Hope
Knowing That With The Vagaries Of The Mortal Life
You Will Help Me With Such To Cope!

I Accept That Trials In My Life
Valiantly Overcome Through Dependence On The Lord
Means, Most Assuredly, Gain, Heavenly Gain:
Please Help Me And The Brethren Faithful
Those In The Family
Those Coming Into The Family
And Those Seeking To Find The Lord Of The Family
To Trust And Obey, Work, Watch, And Patiently Wait
Pray And Praise, Worship And Adore
Share The Good News And For Others Care
And Against The Wiles Of The Cruel Enemy Dare To Stand
And That Without Ungodly Fear!

Oh, Father
With Hope, For Love, By Faith
Because Of Truth
I Reach For The Hand That 
Has My Name Engraved In The Palm!
Help Me, Lord, To Live Up To The Value
That You Have Placed On My Soul:
Help Me, Please Help Me
To Make Home With Jesus My Soul's Sole Goal!

Thank You For The Grace!
Thank You For The Mercy!
Thank You For The Spirit Of Truth!
Thank You For The Guardian Angels
And Best Of All
Thank You For The Life Of  
Your Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus
Who Is Ours For Eternity!
We Are Lost And Twice Dead Men Without Him!

Thank You For Hearing My Humble Prayer
And For Always Answering The Prayer Of Faith
Which Is Offered Up In The Name Holy Name Of
Jesus, Blessed Ever!
I Love You, Lord!
We Need You!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN!

Blessed Are They...!

The Beatitudes 
Is Not Just A Set Of Blessings 
But 
Is Actually A Blessing 
On The True Experience Of 
The True Christian On The Path To Glory!

Only Those Who Have 
And
Endure The Full Experience 
Will Make It To Heaven!

Blessed Are Those Who Recognise That 
They Have The Need For The Holy Spirit 
To Perform A Good Work In Their Lives 
So That They May Attain 
The Promised Kingdom of Heaven!

For This Reason
They Mourn To The Holy God 
Trusting Him To Comfort Them
And, Ultimately
To Lead Them Safely Home!

These, Then, Become Meek 
With The Indwelling Holy Spirit
And 
Our Almighty God Has Promised That 
They Shall, As A Result
Inherit The Earth!

Inspired By The Working Of The Holy Spirit
They Hunger And Thirst 
To Live Right Before Almighty God 
And
For This Very Reason
Their Eternal God Will Satisfyingly Fill Them!

Because They Have Obtained 
The Omnipotent God's Mercy
They, Themselves, Are Merciful To All Men 
Willing To Forgive 
And 
Completely Forget 
The Wrongs Daily Done Against Them!

These Believers In The True And Living God
Living A Christ-Like Life
Are Pure of Heart And Action
And 
For So Doing
They Shall See The Great God 
In Whom They Have Bestowed Their Trust!

How Blessed Are The Peacemakers: 
They Shall Be Called The Children Of God!

These Children Of The Omnipresent God
Exemplify The God Of Their Hope
And
Because Of Their Walk
They Will Be Persecuted For Living Right 
But
They Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of Heaven!

At The Unfolding  Climax Of The Journey 
To The Kingdom Of Light
These Lovers Of The Omnipotent God 
Will Be Reviled 
And 
Persecuted 
And
 Vile Men 
Will Falsely Say All Manner Of Evil Against Them!

Nevertheless, Our God Holy
Just, Faithful 
Kind, Loving
Blessing 
And 
Ever True, Says:





Brethren,
Be Pleased To Destroy The Mirror
That Gives You Of Life The Rear View!
Be Pleased, I Beseech You
To Keep Heaven in The Eastern View!
Keep Holding The Leading Hand of Jesus Christ!
Keep The Communication 
- Between Your Self And The Holy Spirit -
Alive And Constant, Too!
Keep The Word Of Almighty God Ever Before You 
And
Walk Faithfully On The Upward Way!
The Heaven That Is In The Heart 
Will ... Soon ... Be Our Home!
Be Faithful!
Our God Glorious Will Have It No Other Way!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: If Sinners Only Knew What Saints Of God Know

When He Was Born
He Was Seen To Be A Beautiful Child
And
When He Was Dedicated To The Lord
He Was Given A Beautifully Simple Name
Easy To Remember
A Breeze To Spell
Replete With Meaning:

Reach After God By Faith

As He Went Through The Early Life Stages
And
Grew Into His Majority
That Is ... Reached The Age Of Consent
The One Thing He Had Daily Heard From His Loving Parents

Marvellous Grace
And
Merciful Powers 


Was

Expect Great Things From God!

Reach After God By Faith
Having Always Lived To Expect Great Things From God
Became A Man Of Faith
And
Set Up His Own Household With The Very Homely Looking
But
Oh, So Kind Lady

Grace Is Free


Odd Arrangements Call Forth Comment ...

The Proud And Pretty Girls
And
The Available Painted Ladies
Were Not Well Pleased
And
The Whole Village Knew It!

Faith And Grace, For Short
Were Contented In The Lord
Because
Jesus Christ Was In The Family
And
They Had A Happy, Happy, Home!

I Should Tell You Here That
The Adversary Of Souls
Hated Everything And Everybody
Associated With
Called By
Attached To
Or
Smelling Of Jesus Christ's Faith And Grace
And
With An Unmitigated Hatred
He Hated, Hated, Hated
Reach After God By Faith
And
His Wife, Grace Is Free!

Lil' Things Started Happening!

At First
The Occurrences Were Considered Happenstance!

This Is Life: Things Happen!
No Biggie!

But ...

As We All Know
- Having Previously Recognized The Hand Of Satan
As He Tormented The Lord Christ
From The Cradle To The Grave -
Evil-Doing ... Just Like Hatred ... Escalates
Because, Well
More Is More
And
More Is Always Better!

Soon ...

What Had Been Petty Annoyances
Started Shaping Up To Be Real Problems
At Least In The Eyes Of The Unbelieving Onlookers!

When You Know Truth
You Can Always Recognize Lie!
When You Live Love
You Can Always Recognize Hate!
When You Don't Have A Savior
Satan Satisfies!
When You Don't Have Salvation
You Just Live Like One Living Just To Die!

Fancy Ladies ... Dishabille
- Those Felonious Minions Of The Fraud -
Took To Following Faith Around His Property
At His Work
At Church
When He Was With Grace
And
When He Walked Alone
And
A Proud And Pretty Girl Got Him Fired From His Job!

A Tree Fell On The Roof Of Their Bedroom!
Three Mortgage Payments ... Already Paid
Were Suddenly Missing!
The Sewer Line Burst!
A Truck Ran Into The Corner Of The House!

Grace Is Free Then Lost Her Job 
- For Cause -
For Absenteeism And Bad Attitude
The Day After Winning
The Employee Of The Year Award For
Perfect Attendance
Product Knowledge
Customer Service
Willingness To Serve
Best Attitude
And
On-Time Performance!

A Painted Lady Got Faith Arrested For Doing A Thing
Something
Anything
Nothing!

You See
Their Problems Came About 
Because
They Were Not Into The Secular And The Worldly
But
Into The Sacred And The Heavenly!

Faith And Grace
Were In Thought, Word, And Deed
Friends Of The True, Holy, Living, Eternal, Faithful God!
They Were Friends Of Satan's Enemy
And
In The Warped Mind Of The Arch-Fiend
This Betrayal Could Not Be Allowed To Go Unchallenged!

This Betrayal Must On All Counts Be Answered
And
The Destroyer Was Well On His Way
To Accomplishing His Nefarious Goals
Or
So. He. Thought!

Servants Of The Lord ...

When You Live A Life Of Love
Trusting In The Faithful God Of Love Above
Enduring All Things Against You As Badges Of Honor
You Do Not Before The Damned One
Bow Down 
And 
In Fright ... Cower!

You Stand Up For Jesus!
You Live For The King!
You Follow The Shepherd
And
Trust In Him Moment By Moment
Day By Day
Hour By Hour!

The World
- That Is The Neighbors -
Was Watching ... Wondering
Amazed At The Strength
The Character
The Faithfulness
The Endurance
The Joy
The Peace
Exhibited By These Two Pillars Of 
The Great And Coming King!

The Proper Use Of Knowledge Is Power ...

If Only They Knew That
Great Expectation Is Not Just A Book Or A Song!
If Only They Knew That
Grace Is Free Is A Promise Of Almighty God
And
Not An Access To A Free-Sinning Bong!

Truth Be Told ...

Reach After God By Faith
Lived Out His Name
And
Inculcated Into His Life The Anthem 
- Expect Great Things From God -
Daily Sung To Him By Both His Parents
From His Birth Even Until Now!

Faith Leaned On Available Grace
Which Is Always Free
And
Available Grace Held Unto Free Mercy!

The Lesson Taught
The Lesson Learnt ...

Reach After God By Faith
And
Grace Is Free
Knew Truth And Understood That
As Faithful Followers Of The Lord Christ That
Followers Follow ... AFTER ... The Shepherd Faithfully!
Sheep Who Are Known Followers
Do Not Lead The Shepherd Who Is The Leader!

Reach After God By Faith
And
Grace Is Free
Showed To All Observing Them That
Grace Is Indeed Free When By Faith
Believers
Reach After God To Accept The Hand Of Hope
The Hand Of Help
To Accept The Gift Of Love
The Gift Of Life
From The Lord Of Life
The Giver Of Salvation!

Brethren,

Satan Only Goes After Those Who Are Not His
Or More Properly Stated
Those Who 
- By Word And Deed -
Belong To The Lord Christ!

When We Accept That Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is
Our Only Answer
Our Only Hope
Our Only Help
Our God
Our Lord
Our King
Our Savior
Our Redeemer
Our Shepherd
Our Peace
Our Rest
The Only One By Whom The Believer 
Is 
Truly Blessed
Satan Cannot
- Will Not - 
Win In The War That He, Roaring
Is 
Angrily, Aggressively, Waging
Against The One That The Lord Christ
By Innocent Spilt Blood 
Is 
Saving!

Trust Jesus Christ To Deliver
Because
He Has By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
Ascension
And
Intercession For You
Has Already Delivered You!
All You Need To Do Is Open Your Eyes
And
Your Heart
To Recognize That Fact!

Jesus Christ Saves!

Those Who Live Godly Lives ...!

Were It Not For Grace S. Favor
Merciful Powers
Complete Forgiveness
AND
Kneel Atde Cross
Liv N. Godly-Lives
Would Long Have Been Decimated By
Deadly Taint
False Accusation
Lying Spirits
Character Assassination
Deny D. Lord
Chasing The. Wind
Envy N. Greed
AND
Persee Cution!

It Is Like This ...

Liv N. Godly-Lives
Has Humbled Himself
Under The Mighty Hand Of God
Has Chosen To Lean On D. Everlasting Arm
Has Turned Away From Childish Things
Has Removed False Gods From His Home
AND
His Life
AND
Has Started A Committed Relationship With The. Gentle Shepherd
Who Has Hooked Him Up With
Dee-Spirit O'God
Who Is Now His Live-In Companion
AND
Daily Moment-By-Moment Comfort!

Since Moving In
Dee-Spirit O'God Has Been Known
To Ardently Guide
Plainly Direct
AND
Gently Encourage Liv N. Godly-Lives
In The Ways Of Truth N. Life
AND
The. Kindly Light
AND
To Refrain From Associating With Godless Character
Ways O. D. World
Backsliding Heifer
Pride O'Life
Lust O'Dee Flesh
AND
That False Oath Tekker
Lust-Of D. Eye!

Because Dee-Spirit O'God Is Doing A Perfect Work
He Has Often Had To Chide Liv. N. Godly-Lives
Against Letting Selfish Mind
All-About Me
Inordinate Desire
Deadly Drift
Spirit O. Distraction
Carnal Knowledge
Tempted Tu-Touch
Com Pla Cency
Stubborn Will
AND
Wayward Ness
- Those Favorite Children
Those Devil Spawn
Belonging To Beelze Bub -
Play With His Heart!

You Should Know That ...

All Because Of Dee-Spirit's Gentle
BUT
Firm Actions
Liv N. Godly-Lives
- With Broken Spirit And Contrite Heart -
Had Carried True Confession
AND
Total Repentance
To The. Heavenly Father
AND
For Having Taken The Name Of
Jesus S. The. Answer
With Him
Had ... In Turn
Received Complete Forgiveness
From His Former Life Companion
His Ball AND Chain
Known Sin!

At His Release
From Certain Condemnation
He Had Had Only Total Praise
Joyful Hallelujahs
AND
Praise D. Lord
In His Home
To Celebrate The. Living God!

And, Thereafter ...

Entered
The Cause Of The Curse
The Dragon
The Tempter
The Serpent
The Liar Supreme
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Base Metallurgist
The Thief Of Time
The Wannabe God Known Not-Divine
The Prince Of The Power Of The Air
The Purveyor Of The Doctrine Of Devils
The Lord Of ... Dung!

Know Ye Be All These Present That ...

If It Had Not Been
For The. Lord By His Side
AND
His Other Live-In, Faith
AND
His Taking That Grace
The Faith Of Christ Jesus
AND
Holding On To The One And Only Blessed Assurance
AND
We-Have This Hope
AND
Plainly Knowing And Believing That 
He Was Clean Before The Lord Of Life
Liv N. Godly-Lives
Would Have Purchased A One-Way Ticket
For
That Burning Performance Of
Eternal-Separation-From-Almighty-God
Via A Permanent Spot
In Fire And Brimstone Lake
Where All Who Choose To Walk With I'm Own-Way
AND
Indulge In Indifference To Loving Entreaty
From Lamb Of God
Will Exercise Their Self-Willed Option
To Own-Sin Self-Pay!

Living N. Faith Gave Liv N. Godly-Lives
Victory
Over Living N. Sin
Despite The Best Efforts Of
Persee Cution
AND
His Ardently Active
Overtly Malicious
Deliberately Organized
Elegantly Equipped
Have Nothing-To-Lose
Because
They Gave Away 
Their True-Gain For A Studied-Lie
Brethren!

Godly-Lives' Faith Works!
His Trust Is Standing!
His Love Is Growing!
His Eye Is Not Darkened!
His Hope Is Not Vain!
His Redeemer Lives!
He Is Walking To Zion!
Excellent Angels Are His Good Influencers!
Truth Is In His Inward Parts!
He Is Blessed
AND
A Blessing
AND
He Has A Home In Glory Land
For
He Keeps Covenant With 
The Creator God Of The Fourth Commandment
In Whom He Is Sealed
Against The Great Day Of Vengeance!

Liv N. Godly-Lives' Foot
Is Not Turned Aside To Fables
For
He Is Not wise In His Own Eyes
AND
Because Of This
AND
By Jesus
The Devil Is Damned!

So That You Know ...

Those Who Walk In Righteousness
Will Be Made To Suffer From Persee Cution
BUT
They Are Not Alone!
Their God Holy Eternal 
Is On The Universe's Throne
AND
He Ever Always
Takes Care Of His Own!

Take A Real Walk
With The. Gentle Shepherd
And
Be Not Dismayed
For
The. Living God
Will
Take Care Of You!

You Have
Jesus Christ's Spilt Blood
Guaranteeing
That Promise!
