Don't Be Self-Deceived By Self-Aggrandizement + PRAYER: Dear Father, Please Open Our Eyes!







Are You A Vain Aka Empty, Boastfully Self-Confident Person 
Or 
Are You ... Through Faith
Humble And Confidently Glorying In The Lord Christ!?! 

Are You Confident In Your Ability 
To Manipulate Others To Do Your Will 
But
Are Totally Unaware That 
You Are Being Manipulated To Do Satan's Will 
And
To Walk In His Putrid Ways!?! 

Are You So Concerned 
About Those Who You "Know" Are Disobedient That
You Cannot See That You Are Willfully Disobeying 
Your Living, Giving, And Forgiving Father 
Who Is In Heaven!?! 

Beloved, 

We Choose To See What Stimulates 
And 
Hear What Titillates
But 
Singularly ... Self-Righteously ... Ignore 
What Causes Us To Deviate From 
The Path Of Truth And Beauty 
Even As We Baselessly Excoriate
Aka Condemn Those Whom We Oppose 
Because 
They Have Chosen To 
And
Are Letting The Lord ... By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Lead Them Gently, Safely
To The Land That Is Fairer Than Day! 
Stop It! 

The Inward Look 
Shows To All Willing To See The Truth 
Whether They Are, Indeed, On The Upward Way! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 
With Godly Fear And Trembling: 
Do Not Be Self-Deceived By Self-Aggrandizement! 



PRAYER:

Dear Father, 
Please Open Our Eyes 
So That We May See Wondrous Things
Out Of Thy Law! 

Please Open Our Lips
To Sing Your Praises
And 
Help Us To Be Good, Kind
Obedient, Faithful, And True 
So That On The Great Day
We Will Board The Elevator
To Jesus Christ's Glory!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering
Our Prayer Of Faith!
Please Come For Us Soon
For It Is In Jesus' Dear Name
We Pray And Humbly Plead! 
AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Savoring Satan





I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are One!
One Person
One Ideal
One Fact
One Foe
No Good Fillip
No Good Gold!

Self
AND
Self-Adulation
Self- Gratification
AND
Self-Aggrandisement
Are
The Lost Soul's Sole Goal!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are Strung Out
On
Self Dope!
Self-Made Rope!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Speak
To Self
About Self
For Self
Because Of Self
Identifying Self
AND
Creates Its Own Savor
AND 
Is Its Own Savior!

How Ridiculous!
What's Wrong With Saying
I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself?

Nothing ... By Itself!
BUT
When Every Single Solitary
Syllable Of Speech
Stems
Starts
AND
Spreads Out
Like A Line-Dried White Sheet
Then ... THEN
Is When You Know
That Self
Is Savoring Satan
Imbibing His Delusions
His Wine
His Willfulness
Forgetting That There Is The Eternal God
Seeking
To Save A Soul Lost
Who Is Walking Wild 
AND
Blind
AND
At Fearful Cost!

Oh.

Give Self To The Savior
AND
Satan Can't You Sway!
Give Self To Satan
AND
You Are On A Hellbound Cruise
Called
Own-Sin Pay-day!

That's Awful Harsh! 

So Was The Savior's Sacrifice!

Oh.

How Erudite You Are! Not!!

I'm Sorry!
It's Just That
All The Years
Everybody Said:

"Lift Up Your Self
For
Self-Made Always Gets Fed!"

It Seemed Sooo ... Simple
But How You Put It
It Is Just ... Saaaad!

Self Without A Savior 
Is
The Self ... Sacrificed
On The Altar Of Ambition
With Greed As The Steed
Pride As The Nose-Ring Lead
AND
Satan Aggressively Stimulating
Your "Felt" Need!

Anything
That We Can Do Without
Is Not A Need!
What We Need
Really Need
Is The Savior!

And ...

The Savior Says
Seek First
The Kingdom Of God
AND
His Righteous
AND
All Good Things 
Will Be Added On
To Me 
AND
To You!

Well ...
Since You Put It Like That
I Will Acknowledge
That I Am Self Centered ...! 

And ... 

I Shall Say That
If You Acknowledge
That You Are By Self
Cornered
AND
Appeal To Jesus
For Relief
He Can Do A Good Thing
In AND For
You!
Salvation In Him Is Achieved
AND
Satan Can You Any Long Deceive!


I Like That!
You've Got Yourself A Deal!

God Be With You!
Blessings Await!
Satan Is The Liar!
Leave Him
To His Just Fate!
Ignore His Sly Titillate
AND
His Tried
Tired Tittivate
AND
You Will Gain The Right
By Trusting
AND
Obeying
Our Lord Jesus
To Enter The Heavenly City
Through
The Protected Gate!
