VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + The First Condition Of Deliverance

 












Obedience To God Almighty 
Is 
The First Condition Of Deliverance! 

Human Effort Combined With Divine Power 
Produces The Needed Result! 
No Human Effort, No Divine Power! 

The Lord Will Not Do For Any One Of Us 
What He Has ... In His Wisdom
Given To Us The Power To Do For Ourselves 

... And ... 

Truth Be Told
Whether We Want To Hear It Or Accept It Or Not
Is 
That Almighty God 
In The Person Of Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ The King 
Ain't Our Ride Or Die
Our Homeboy
Or 'My Dog!' 

Let Us Respect The Power, The Position
And 
The Purity Of Our High Priest 
And 
Recognize How Puny We Are 
And 
How Putridly Perilous Is Our Present Plight 

... And ... 

Give The Great And Glorious God Unfeigned Praise 
And 
Proper Prayers 
Aka Prayers From Your Own Perch
Your Own Known Place Of Need And Perplexity 
And 
Not From Base Greed And Non-Sensical Gumption! 

Obey The Lord Of Life And Live! 

Peace!

REJOICE: We Are Because Jesus Christ Is!




Beloved, 

We Are Free To Say Our Prayers To Our Father In Heaven
In The Name Of Jesus Christ Our Lord
Reminding Him Of What He Has Said That 
He Will Do For Us ... Individually! 

We Rejoice 
Because 
The Lord Is King! 

We Have Hope 
Because 
The Lord Is Our Savior! 

We Are Comforted 
Because 
The Lord By His Holy Spirit
Is 
Our Teacher And Comforter! 

We Believe The Word Of God To Us 
Because 
His Word Is The Truth Immovable! 

Dear Ones, 

The Word Of God To Us 
Is 
Love Which Gives Life
And 
Our Free-Will Word To The Lord
Using His Word Which Is Also A Lamp Unto Our Feet 
And 
A Light Unto Our Path Should Be 



"Yes, Lord!
So Let It Be!"


Dear Ones, 

Fables Abound 
But
The Stories Of Our Lord Jesus Christ 
Will Never, Should Never, Be Listed Among Them 
Because
Without Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life
There Is No Life Of Man! 

We Are Because He Is! 

Let Us Give Thanks And Praise Unto Our God 
For His Goodness Toward The Children Of Men! 

We Are Truly Blessed! 
Let Us Rejoice 
And 
Live Like We Really Believe The Word! 

Peace!

Prayer For Blessings!











PRAYER:



Father, 
I Bless Your Holy Name In The Matchless Name Of 
Your Only Begotten Son
My Savior And King, Jesus Christ The Lord! 

By Your Holy Hand
I Have Blessings Innumerable, Immeasurable, And Infinite
Because
I Can't Count Them
I Can't Measure Them
And
It Is For Certain Sure That 
I Will Never Live Long Enough To See The Verified End Of 
All That You Have In Mind And In Store For Me 
As Long As I Remain True And Faithful And Obedient
Which Is My Heart's Abiding Desire! 

I Beseech You For That One Blessing
Which Will Give Me Strength
To Endure All Things For My Jesus
And
Against That Devil, Satan, Known Damned
And
Assuredly Bound For Hell!

I Give You Praise Because You Are Worthy To Be Praised
And
I Bow In Worship
Because
You Are God Almighty, Wise, Alive, Giving, And Forgiving!

Please Bless Me Also To Accept Your Gentle Corrections
Because
They Are For My Eternal Good! 

Please Help Me Not To Tempt You
By Being Presumptuous And Doing Wrong
And
Using Your Holy Name As Cover! 

Please Help Me To Bend Myself To Your Will
So That The Day Will Never ComeWhere I Will Be Broken
And
Cast Out Of Your Glorious Presence! 

In Faith, I Humble Myself Before You
And
Accept Your Gift Of Grace
Through Which I Will Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home! 
In Jesus' Name, I Pray And Plead:
Please Hold My Hand!
I Love You!
AMEN!

PRAYER: Help, Me Lord, To Live So That I Let Nothing Be Wasted!













PRAYER:

Father, 
With The Heart Of A Grateful Penitent
I Give You Thanks And Praise For All Your Blessings 
- Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown
Unexpected, And Unacknowledged - 
Lavishly Bestowed Upon Me This Day 
And, For Sure
Every Day Of My Life! 

I Love You, Lord
And
It Is Not Just For The Bread And Two Fishes That 
In Your Hand Will Always Feed The Multitude 
And
Leave Behind Food For Many More! 

Please Help Me To Live With The Mindset That 
Nothing Should Be Wasted
And
A Heart Filled With Compassion For Others
An
Hands Ready To Share To Others 
Out Of The Bounty That You Generously Provide To Me! 

Father, I May Not Always Like The Way That Life Goes
But
I Ask You To Help Me To Ever Remember That
If I Knew What You Know
I Would Wish To Be Led, Fed, Directed And Corrected
As You Ordain! 

Please Help Me To Never Embrace Pride
And
The Top-Lofty Spirit
Which Causes Us To Act As Though You Owe Us Something 
And
We Are Entitled To All That We Receive
And
More Beside! 

Please Help Me To Never Forget That
I Owe All That I Am And All That I Have
To Your Willing Sacrifice And Unending Love
In The Person Of Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me
And
Bless Me To Follow My Shepherd
The Good Shepherd
To Your Haven Of Rest For The Eternally Blessed! 
AMEN!

CHOOSE TO BE MORE: The Change Must Come!




If You Really Believed That 
The All-Knowing God Was Ever-Present 
And 
Ever Seeing All That You Are Doing
Hearing All That You Are Saying
And 
Aware Of All That You Are Thinking
How Would You Actually Live Your Life From Day To Day
Moment By Moment!?! 

What Is Stopping You From Believing The Infallible Word 
Which Tells Us What The Lord Is Unerringly Doing 
At This Very Moment!?! 

Beloved, 

Are We ... Because Of Unbelief And Willful Blindness
Becoming Like The Fool Who Says In His Heart That 
There Is No God 
Because 
Acknowledging The Knowing, Seeing, Present God Means That 
Our Present Ungodly Thoughts, Words, Actions, And Activities 
Must Be Renounced, Repudiated
Changed To Reflect One's New Standing 
As Revealed Through The Word
Will
And 
Ways Of The Eternal And Only Wise God!?! 

There Are Many Men And Many Minds 
But
One Holy God
One Way To The Holy God
And 
One Narrow Road To His Glory 
And
That's The Reason Why We Are Told 
To Buy Eye-Salve From The Lord Jesus! 

Blinded Eyes 
Go Where Dull Sense Says! 

Re-Sighted Eyes 
Go Where The Healing, Sealing, Savior Sends! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Called To Be Better 
And 
To Rise Higher Than Where We Are 
Through Almighty God's Grace 
Which Causes Us To Be, To Do, To Say, To See
And 
To Be Saved And Blessed! 

Let Us Choose To Be More 
By Him Who Is The Door! 

Let Us Live In And For Jesus Christ The Lord: 
He Is Right Here! 
Give Him Honor, Glory, And Praise! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Lord, Please Change My Heart!












Let's Call Pain, Change! 
Let's Call Change, Purpose! 
Let's Call Purpose, Growth! 
Let's Conclude That Without Pain 
There's No Growth 
And
Without Purpose
There's No Change! 

Beloved, 

Pain Serves A Two-Fold Purpose! 
It Informs Us That There's A Problem Needing Attention 
And
It Encourages Us To Go After The Means 
Whereby Help And Healing Are To Be Found! 

Pain Motivates! 
Throbbing Pain Activates! 
Excruciating Pain Debilitates 
And 
Points To That Thing That Must Be Excoriated 
Aka Peeled Away, Removed
So That We May Move 
From Needing Grace To Embracing Glory
From Being Grieved To Embodying Gladness
From Prayer To Praise
From Hell To Heaven! 

By Jesus Christ's Stripes
His Lashed Skin
His Excruciating Pain
We Are Healed! 

Jesus Christ Died Once For All! 
He Is Our Great Physician 
And
Anything, Everything, That Pains Us
He Has Already Endured! 

Why Would You Choose To Live In Sin's Unprofitable Pain
When Being With Our Dear Savior Can Turn That Pain 
Into A Purpose 
Which Will Cause You To Grow In His Grace 
To Become A Citizen Fit To Share In His Eternal Glory!?! 

Jesus Christ Saves Us From Sin 
A Problem For Which He Is The Only Cure! 

Are You Ready, Willing, To Be Healed ... Today!?! 

Come To The Altar! 

Peace!

Dare To Be Square!







The Good News Gospel Of Our Salvation 
Is 
In Us To Bless Us: 
We Read The Living Word 
And
Rightly Used
We Are Profited Thereby! 

The Eternal Word Of God 
Has No Input From Mortal Man: 
All Of Our Benefits Are From The Loving Hand Of 
The Holy God In Whom Is All Power
And 
To Whom All Glory, Honor, And Praise Belong! 

This Leaves Us With The Question: 
Why Are We Taking Our Burdens To Lying Mankind
Glorying In What Fallen Man Says He Can Do
And 
Rewarding Sinful Man 
For What The Lord Christ As Savior
Shepherd, Redeemer, Friend, Hope, Help 
And 
Salvation 
Daily Gives To Us For Free!?! 

Isn't This Like Stooping To Lick Dirty Water 
From The Mossy, Smelly, Gutter 
When We Are Freely Able To Use 
Our Gifted Cup Of Faith For Today 
To Dip Clean, Clear, Pure Water Of Life 
From The Crystal Fountain Of Everlasting Blessings!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Dare To Be Square 
And 
Choose To Raise Our Gaze Out Of The Gutter 
And 
Boldly Look Upon The Beautiful Son
Aka The Sun Of Righteousness
In Whom We Live And Breathe 
And 
Are Made Alive! 

Man Can't Save Himself 
Nor Any Another Man: 
Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Walk Wise
And
Wholly Trust The Lord Christ Soley! 

Enthusiastically Glory In The Cross
And 
Unabashedly Praise The King Of Love! 

Please Boldly Take All Your Burdens To The Lord
And
Unfailingly Leave Them There! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Will See Us Through ... It All!






Are You Anxious, Depressed, Fearful ... Guilty!?! 
Will You Admit It!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord's Our Rock
And 
It Is In Him That We Should Confide
Hide 
And 
Abide! 

It Is Because Of Our Lord Christ's Love That 
We Are Able To Say That 
Our Creator God Has Not Given Us A Spirit Of Fear
But 
A Spirit Of Love 
And 
A Sound Mind! 

We Can Also Comfort Ourselves With The Knowledge That 
We Are Not Our Own
And 
Do Not Walk Alone 
And
We Can Still Give Praise 
Because
The Lord Is Our Shepherd 
And
Is The Shepherd Of Our Rest 
From All That Weighs Us Down! 

Hope In Jesus Christ The Lord!

Let Us For Love
With Faith 
And 
Blessed Endurance
Choose To Unceasingly Call Upon The Lord 
Who, Alone, Is Worthy To Be Praised 
To Save Us From The Enemy Called Doubt
- A Servant Of Satan - 
Which Is A Known Blood-Suckling Leech! 

The Satan Aka The Accuser
The Devil
The Piercing Serpent
The Dragon
Beelzebub Aka Lord Of Dung
Is
The Liar ... The Father Of Lies! 
Don't Believe Anything That He Or His Servants Say! 

Our Life 
Is 
In Our Blood 
So Refuse To Give In To Doubt 
And
Choose, Instead 
To Call
Persistently Pray
Plead
Beseech
And 
Petition Our Creator ... The Life-Giver
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Shed His Innocent Blood 
So That We ... Guilty Of Sin
Don't Have To Spill Ours! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Pray For The Outpouring 
And 
Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit 
And
Choose To Keep Your Eyes Fixed 
And 
Focused On The King Who Is Love
Who Unreservedly Loves 
And 
Cares For You Individually 
And 
Personally! 

Please Heartily Hope Hungrily For Christ Jesus: 
He Is Your Peace! 
Be Confident In Christ!

You Are Not Your Own!






See!
It Is In Black And White: 
We Are Not Our Own! 

Every One Of Us ... Born Of A Woman 
Must ... At The Appointed Time
Give An Accounting Unto The Eternal God 
Before Jesus Christ The Lord
The King
The Judge! 

Beloved, 

We Have Free-Will 
And
The Freedom To Choose 
How To Live Our Own Lives! 

We May Do Whatever We Want To Do 
But
We Have No Say In How Long We May Do It! 

Jesus Christ Has Asked Us To Choose To Serve Him 
And
He Has Given Unto Us Clear Information 
Telling Us Why It Is To Our Eternal Profit 
To Follow, Serve, Worship, Pray To 
And 
Praise And Love Him! 

Our Dear Savior Has Also Plainly Explained To Us 
Why It Is Not To Our Benefit To Not Serve Him 

But

He Has Left The Decision-Making In Our Hands! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous ... Our Redeemer ... Our Friend
Will Never Force Us To Serve Him 
And
Nobody ... Human Or Malevolent Spirit
Can Force Us To Not Worship Him! 

Be Wise ... 

Anything That We Choose To Do
And 
Actively Do ... Good Or Bad
Is 
Our Own Decision 
So Never Let It Be Said That:


"The Devil Made Me Do It!" 

Or 

"Almighty God
Could Have ... Should Have
Stopped Me From Doing That!" 

Face Facts ...

It Is Your Life To Live
And 
It Is Your Choice As To How To Live Your Life
And
It Is Your Own Personal Decision
On Where Is To Be Your Preferred Final Destination! 

The Choices Are Clear So Please Choose Wisely: 
Destination-Wail In Hell 
Or 
Destination-Rejoice In Heaven!
No One Will Make Your Decision For You! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Cooperate With Christ
And
Choose Eternal Life With Christ 
And 
Be Ever Blessed!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Were Not Bought Back From Death
With Either Silver Or Gold
But
With The Innocent Blood Of Jesus Christ
The Lamb Of God
- The Joy And The Hope Of Every Man, Woman And Child -
Who Infinitely Loves Your Personally ... Intimately!

That We Humbly, Fervently Pray And Plead!
Have Mercy And Bless Us!
We Love You And Need You!
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!

TEMPORAL HAPPINESS: Heavenly Joy!






To Be Blessed Of God 
Is 
To Have The Favor Of God 
And 
In This Blessedness 
Is 
True Happiness
Real Joy ... Joy Unspeakable! 

Sad To Say, Though
In The Realm Of The Flesh
Happiness ... Earthly Joy
Depends On Our Personal Circumstances 
Always Being Of The Favorable Sort:
Money In The Bank Aka Disposable Income
Abundant Food Always On The Table
New Clothing Aka Fashionable Clothing
Nice Car
2.2 Children
Corner-Lot House
White Picket Fence
Fat Cat And Lazy Dog
Exotic Vacations Three Times Per Year
The Good Job
And 
Perfect Health And Home Life! 

Beloved, 

When We Choose To Be Happy ... Joyful
Because
Of Circumstance And Situation
We Are People Most Miserable 
Because 
Of The Changing Scenes Of Our Lives! 

History Bears Record ... 

Remember The Martyrs Of The Holy Faith 
Who Were Burnt Alive
Eaten By Dogs And Torn Apart By Lions
Drowned
Sawed Apart
And 
Even Had Their Skins Taken Off Their Bodies 
And 
Used To Bind Books Which Are Still Available  Today!
 
These Faithful Few All Died Singing About
Praying To 
And
Praising God! 
They Died Happy ... Joyfully Happy
Because 
Their Joy Was In Jesus Christ The King! 

I Pray That We All 
Will Choose To Live In The Faith That Cannot Fail: 
Sight Of Eyes
Sound In Ears 
And 
Feeling On Skin Always Lie! 

Beloved,

Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus 
Or Your Crown Of Life! 
Look Up To Jesus 
And 
Not Inward To Self And Sin! 

Gold Is Tried: 
Endure Your Test! 

Keep The Faith! 
All Tests End:
Dare To Pass Your Test In Jesus' Name
Because
No Matter The Earthly Outcome
Jesus Christ Always Utterly Saves! 



Jesus Christ
Is
The Joy Of Living!

YOU OWN IT: Give The Lord Real Praise!






If We Look Closely
We See In This Text Ownership! 

Peace Belongs To The Lord: 
He Gives To Us A Gift Of His Peace! 
Praise Is Ours To Freely Gift To The Lord! 

Interesting Thing, Though
All That We Call Ours Comes To Us As Gifts From Our God 
So, In Truth And In Fact
What We Are Substantially Giving Back To Our Lord 
Is 
Gratitude! 

What The Lord Gives 
Is 
Given For Good! 
How We Choose To Use It ... By Our Free Will
Says An Awful Lot About What We Have Learned
- And Are Practicing - 
From This God Who Only Gives Good And Perfect Gifts 
To Bless Us! 

Giving Our God Praises Blesses Our God 
And
Blesses Us 
Because
By So Doing
We Are Rising Up Higher And Higher! 

Beloved, 

We Can't Fool The Lord! 

Feint, False, Praise 
Is 
An Abomination 
Because 
It Minimizes The Recipient 
And 
Brands Us As Deceitful 
And 
Untrustworthy
And 
Stagnant In Our Growing In Grace 
As Recipients Of Unmerited Favor! 

We Can't Earn The Lord's Favor 
And
We Can't Buy The Lord's Gifts 
And For Sure
We Can't Exchange The Lord's Good And Perfect Gifts 
To Receive Better From Another More Profitable Source! 
There Ain't None! 

Please Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Abundantly Lavish Praise Upon Our Lord And God
Savior, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend 
Like It Is Going Out Of Production 
And 
You Desire To Be The Last Giver Of Praise 
Left Standing At Power Down! 

Giving Praise To Our God Brings Peace!
