Speak What You Would Gladly Eat!

When Something Is Running The Course Of Nature

It Means That There Is No Interference Or Intervention 

By External Sources Or Forces! 

Sooo, If The Tongue Of Man

- Which Indulges In Iniquity Aka Planned Sinning -

Sets On Fire The Course Of Nature

We May Safely Say: 

"Lord, Please Pity Us

And

Have Mercy Upon Us!" 

Beloved, 

It Is The Lord Himself Who Says That 

The Tongue Is A Defiling Implement Aka A Tool, A Weapon

And 

Is A Fire 

And

Is Set On Fire Of Hell! 

Dare To Imagine This Planet On Fire! 

Dear Ones, 

Scripture Clearly Tells Us That 

Hell's Fire Will Not Be By Hands Put Out 

But 

Will Consume Until There Is Nothing Left To Be Consumed! 

Why, Then, In The Name Of The Blessed Jesus

Would Any Of Us Not Desire To Ask Our Beloved Creator 

To Bridle Our Tongue!?! 

Words Into The Wind

Even Words Spoken Without Malicious Intent 

Can Never Be Recalled

Far Less Words Which Were Deliberately Designed 

And 

Assigned To Burn

Hurt, Cut,  Denigrate, And Destroy! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Pay Attention To Your Heart! 

Ask Yourself If It Is In The Holy Faith

And 

Plead With The Lord Jesus To Bridle Your Tongue 

And 

Help It To Speak Good And Kind Words 

And

To Keep You Under His Wings! 

Our Own Fiery Words 

Will Boomerang On Us To Devastating Effect 

So Choose To Speak What You Would Gladly Eat! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Control Is Cream For The Proud And Greedy!

Pride And Greed Go Together 

And 

They Are Poor Substitutes For Love: 

They Lead To Planned Sin! 

The More Pride We Display

The Less Love We Enjoy! 

The More Greed We Incubate

The More Pride We Activate! 

Beloved, 

All Who Take Pleasure In Pride And Greed 

Will Ultimately Utilize Pressure And Force 

To Get Their Own Way

To Inflict Their Will Upon Others! 

Think! 

Our Dear Savior Saves! 

He Made The Way For Us To Be Saved 

But 

He Cannot Save Us Until We Acknowledge That 

We See Our Obvious Danger

And In Godly Fear

Recognize That He, Alone, Is Able To Save Us

And In Faith

Call On Him For His Saving Grace, His Saving Power

And In Need

Humbly Reach For His Outstretched Hand Of Help And Healing! 

Jesus Christ Aka Love 

Is 

Not Proud

And 

He Is Not Greedy For Converts! 

He Knows All Who Are His Very Own! 

Our Dear Jesus Invites Us To His Side 

So He Has No Need To Use Force 

To Bring, Bend, And Bind Us To Him

And Thereby 

Usurp Our Free-Will 

And 

Freedom To Choose To Accept His Will Or Not! 

Our Jesus Has Manners: Satan And His Kind Do Not! 

Present Comfort

Does Not Equal Future Peace ...

Even In The Face Of Unchained Unkindness

Never Permit Anyone To Force Your Will 

And 

Never Give In To Wickedness 

To Receive A "Little Comfort" Now For Your Body! 

The Wickedness Of Pride And Greed 

Is 

Never Satisfied With A Little Bit

Since Control Is Their Cream! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Accept Jesus Christ's Perfect Gift Of Love 

And 

Let Satan's Pride And Greed Be What They Are ... Damned!

Peace! 

FALSE WORSHIP: Planned Sinning!?!

Iniquity 

Is 

Planned Sin 

And 

Indulging In Planned Sin 

Is 

Presumption! 

Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out!

We Can't Defy The Lord By Our Willful Disobedience 

And 

Expect The Lord To Save Us

While We Are Participant In Malicious Sin! 
It Is Not Going To Happen!

False Worship ...

Placing Your Self In The Position Of Almighty God

By Indulging In Presumptuous Behavior

Is 
Idolatry! 

Stop It! 

Moving On ... 

Let's Understand This Also:

Whether You Wipe The Nose Of A Queen 

Or Wipe The Butt Of A Horse

As A Christian Your Work Is Always Important 
And 

Your Faithful Service To The People Of God 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Is 

Important 

And

Blessed! 

Brethren, 

We Must Endeavor ... By The Grace Of The Eternal God 

To Grow Where We Are Planted

And 

To Do What We Can 

For Whom We Can 

Where We Can
While We Can 

Without Murmur Or Complaint 

And

Choose To Be Glad 
And 
Grateful For The Lil' Pick

- The Little Work - 

That The Lord Has Assigned For Each Of Us To Do 

With Love And Endurance

And

Care And Consideration! 

Truth Will Set Us Free ... 

Gold, Silver, Wood, Stone, Dirt

King, Commoner

Doctor, Drudge

Lawyer And Laborer:

The Lord God Made Them All 
To Serve His Always-Holy Purposes! 

Beloved, 

Please Pray For Strength

Willingness 
And 
Faithful Endurance 

To Do Your Pleasant Work ... For Jesus! 

Remember ...

Adam And Eve 

Were Gardeners in Eden 

And 

Jesus Christ The King ... The Creator

Visited Them Every Day:
He Will Do No Less For Us! 

Pray Without Ceasing: 

Draw Near To The Lord Of Life! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Only Source For Lasting Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + BE ENCOURAGED + PRAYER: Father, Help Me Not To Be A Bread And Fish Christian!

Life Will Be Dark At Times 

But 

Our God ... Almighty ... Is Light! 

Trust Him: He Is The Truth! 

Trust In Him No Matter What Happens

Because 

He Has Given Unto Us Great Treasure In These Earthen Vessels: 
His Faith To See To Believe 

And

The Holy Spirit ... The Comforter Who Is Come

Who Is Here

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

All Of Almighty God's Gifts To Men

Are Good

With No Sorrow Added!

Beloved, 

Human Eyes Are Blind Even Though They Physically See

But

The Eyes Of Working Faith Ever Have Sight 

Because 
They See Living Light ... Truth
That Can Never Fail Or Fall! 

Our God 
Is 
Good To Us 
Even Though We Don't Deserve It! 

Pray ... And Hold On
And
Plod On While It Is Still Day! 

Jesus Christ Is Coming For Us Real Soon! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Believe You! 

Please Rid Me Of Any Unbelief That I May Be Cherishing! 

Please Help Me Not To Be A Bread And Fish Christian 

Always Available To Feast 

But Never Available To Help With The Work 

That Will Cause Hurting People From Willing Sinning To Cease! 

Please Help Me To Stay In The Word That Brings Faith!

Please Help Me Not To Be Amongst Those 

Who Tell The Good News But Don't Live It

Who Point Fingers And Pray Self-Righteous Prayers

Who Seem Not To Understand That 

The Cup Of Blessings Will Overflow 

But The Cup Of Planned Sin Has An Unbreachable Limit! 

Please Help Me So That My Living Is Not In Vain!

I'm Watching, Lord

And Praying 

And Hoping! 

Please Hold My Hand And Help Me To Follow You 

And In Living Truth 

Obediently, Enduringly, Stand 

So That In Perfect Peace 

I Shall Behold You, My King

And In Your Glorious Presence Eternally Stand

In Jesus' Holy Name I Pray And Humbly Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!

Sin ... And Forgiveness!

Think Deeply About This ...

He Who Had No Sin Became Sin ... For Us!

He Who Is Alive Forever

Died To Give Life To Us

Who Are Dead In Sin And Trespasses!

The Question Is:

How Do We Make The Connection 
To Make The Transaction Real!?! 

Jesus Christ Make The Infinite Deposit

In The Bank Of Eternity: 

We Are Mortal Men, Sinners, Who Live In Time! 

How Are We Going To Make The Needful Withdrawal

So That We May Have Our Necessary Food

And

Directions
Travelling Mercies

Transportation Expenses

Shelter
Protection! 

How Do We Get From Present Living For Hell

To Living To Arrive At The Future Heavenly Home

When There Is Gulf Fixed Betwixt The Two!?!

Lest We Tremble And Fear In Despair 

Let's Remember Jacob's Ladder

The Bridge Between Earth And Glory

The Cross-Bar On The Cross Of Christ

The Benediction Aka It Is Finished

Which Capped The Upper Room Prayer Of Consecration:

Where I Am

There Shall Also My Servants Be! 

Brethren,

We Have A Job Of Work To Do

So Let's Get To Stepping
Because
There Is No Sinner Going To Be Where Jesus Christ Is!
We've Got A House-Cleaning To Accomplish!

All Lawlessness Is Sin! 

All Humans Are Sinners! 

Some Sins Are Natural 
Because 
We Are Born With The Inclination To Sin! 
Some Sins Are Cultivated! 

Some Sins Are Marked As 
Going Where You Shouldn't Go Aka Transgressions

And 

Other Sins Are Called iniquity Aka Planned Sins! 

All Sins Are Forgiven 

... If We Confess ... 

Except For The Sin Of Blasphemy 
Against The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Second Death! 

Forgiveness Is Free!

The Only Person 
Who Doesn't Need Forgiveness For Known Sin 
Is 
Almighty God! 

The Sins That We Do Not Confess Cannot Be Forgiven 

And 

Stay On The Books Of Remembrance In Heaven! 

The Sins That We Humbly Confess 
And 

Repent Aka Turn Away From

Are Cast Into The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Never To Be Recalled!

Make The Days Of Your Life Count!

 

Beloved,

We Cannot Climb The Ladder

Cross The Bridge

Escape Time

Or Enter Eternity With The Stench Of 
The Load Of Sin Attached To Our Persons! 

No Escaping The Facts ... 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed Daily

So Let's Make It A Habit 
To Confess Are Repent Of Our Sins Daily 

Because 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Of Us

Our Name Is Not Jesus Christ

And 

Our Tongues Are Not Bibles 
Aka The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Believe The Living Word

Accept And Gratefully Use Our Gift Of Forgiveness

And 

Be At Peace With And In Our Savior 
And 

Coming King

Jesus Christ The Lord!
Soon, Very Soon, The Last Trumpet Will Sound!

Dead Men

Can't Praise Almighty God

And

Can't Ask

For Forgiveness!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Changing Position

How Can You Not Want To Intimately Know Christ Jesus!?!
He's The Forever Friend!
How Can You Not Want To Personally Know Christ Jesus 

When He's Offering Life To All

And 

That Without End!?!

He Wants Too Much!

Too Much Of What, Pray Tell!?!

He's Not Like Anybody Else!

He Doesn't Play The Game!
He Doesn't Want A Little Bit Of Me
And Be Contented
He Wants Me Body Soul And Spirit
My Will
My Way
My Thoughts
My Actions
My Heart!
He Wants Me To Depart Old Habits Tried And True
And He Wants Me To Stop Sinning!
He Wants Me To Be Consumed With And In Him!

That's True!

How Can I Possibly Do That Is What I Ask You!?!

How Can I Stop Sinning
When A Sinner I Was Born!?! 

I Was Shaped In Iniquity
Planned Sin, You Know!
Mother Before Me Was Likewise Born!
Right Now, My Heart Is Torn!
I Feel Like A Sheep That Has Been Naked Shorn!

Don't You Believe Him!?!

Believe Him About What!?!

Victory Over Sin, You Know ... For Starters!
Setting Aside Self And Sinning
And
Decidedly Turning Satan Away!

That's Impossible!
Who Can Turn Satan Away!

Mavis!?!

Yes, Myrtle!?!

Mavis Adalua Greene
You Mean To Really Tell Me
That Your Satan Is Bigger Than
The Creator Of All Things!?!

Uh, Ah, ...!

Girl, You Must Be Drunk! 

Satan Is A Fallen Angel
A Reprobate That Can't Go Back Home
And
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 

Lord And King

Savior Redeemer Friend

Advocate
Sitting High And Lifted Up
Upon Heaven's Great White Throne!

You Really Can't Believe That Satan Is A Boss
When His Lying Warring Ways
Got Him Out Of Heaven Tossed!

Jesus Christ Bought 

And 

Brought Us The Victory
The Victory Over Sin
And 

I Refuse To Believe That 

You Would Let A Lost Cause Like Satan
Cost You Heaven
Because 

You Think He Could Win Something

Over The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
Who Triumphed Over Death Hell
Sin
And
The Self-Same Satan
And 

The Cold Dark Grave
On Calvary's Old Rugged Cross!

Well, When You Put It Like That
It Becomes Apparent That 

I Must Seriously, Honestly

Rethink My Present Standing Position!

Girl, You Better Hurry And Change Direction
Before You And The Second Coming
End Up In A Colossally Bad Collision!

I Am Certain That You Know That

Now Is The Acceptable Time!
That Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Jesus Christ 

Is

Even Now

Still Extending Sweet Mercy To Fallen Mankind
So Accept It Now
For Soon There Will Be Total Division!

Total Division!?!
What On Earth Do You Mean!?!

Sheep And Goats!
Good And Evil!
Blessed And Saved!
Damned And Lost!
Souls Protected And Ministered Unto By Holy Angels
And
Souls Activated And Used By 

Fallen Angels Aka Demons!

I Don't Like The Sound Of That 

Evil Damned Goat Lost Demon-Possessed Business!
Did You Really Have To Tell Me About That!?!

Am I Your Friend, Yes Or No!?!

You've Been My Number One Since Forever!

Since That Is The Case, Then I Had To Tell You The Truth!

Why Does Truth Always Have To Be So, So, So Out There!?!
So Stark!
So Plain!
So Straight!
So Uncompromising!
So In Your Face!

So, So ...!

So Necessary!
So Unavoidable!
So Honest!
So True!
So Needful!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
All Of That!
When I Ignore The Truth
I Can Pretend All Is Right With Me And ...!

... You Can Walk About Proud
Supposedly Thriving
Under A Base Mantle Of Gross Falsity!

Let Me Show You Something ...

Under A Dry Blanket Is Warm
And
Under A Damp Blanket Is Warm
If
Everything Around You Is Wet!

If Every Person Around You Is A Bold Sinner
And
You, A Proud Christian
Looking Down Upon Them Wicked Sinners
Timidly Commit The Occasional Favorite Sin
What Does That Make You!?!

Ugh! 

It Makes Me A Self-Righteous "Christian" Sinner ... Damned!

Is It Worth It!?!

Have You Ever Really Studied Psalm 91!?!

Huh!?!

Psalm 91 ... He That Dwelleth In The Secret Place Of The Most High
Shall Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty ...!

I Read It All The Time!
I Really Like It!

But, Do You Understand What It Means!?!

They're Pretty Words That 

Make Me Feel Comforted And, And ...!

... And Even Now

You Don't Understand That
They're A Promise Given
To The People Of God
To Provide For And Protect Them
During The Time Of Trouble
And To Receive Them Into His Great Glory

At The Appointed Time!

I Just Read ... And Feel!

Aka You Don't Think On

You Don't Dwell Upon The Meanings Of The Words
Because
Your Taking Them On Board

Will Require You To Change Your Ways

Your Life

Your Living!

That's True!!

How Do You Know That!?!

I Know That Because I Was Once Like You!
If I Didn't Look Too Deep
I Could Rest Easy!
I Could Peacefully Sleep!

I Could Blithely Carry On

With Then Present Living

Because

I Was To The Lord God Almighty

Lip Service Giving!

Oh, Dear!!

That Expression Sounds Like You Already Had
That Encounter!

Had It!
Hated It!
I Try Valiantly To Avoid It!

So You Bravely Aka Cowardly Prefer
To Live A Lie
Than To Wisely Necessarily Face
Almighty God's Cleansing Truth
Which, Accepted
Will See You
- In The Fullness Of Time -
In Jesus Christ's Lovely Presence
Enjoying Eternal Youth
Ranging The Universe
Praising God
Seeing God Face To Face
Interacting With Those On Unfallen Worlds
Eating From The Tree Of Life
Walking Streets of Gold ...!

Stop! Stop!
Just Stop!

Isn't It Time
That You Take Your Burden To The Lord
And ...!

... Yes! I Know!
Leave It There!

Sooo, What Were you Waiting For!?!

A Moment Like This ...!

... The Lord Be Praised!

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For New Beginnings!

Indeed!

Just Don't Forget That

New Beginnings Are Only Possible

If

You're Alive!

Please Don't Ever Take Tomorrow For Granted!

I Know ... Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
