VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Reality Always Bites!

Ohhh, I Can Just Feel It! 

Feel What, Mauby!?! 

The Intense Part Of The Sermon Lecture Talk, Maybe

About To Come From Bro. Lookatit! 

Mauby, You Know That That Is Not His Name

And You Shouldn't Make Mock-Sport Of The Teacher! 

Any Way, Maybe, Here It Comes! ... 

Look At It, Brethren

We All Have Only One Of Two Choices: 

The Liar Or The Lord, The Savior Or The Destroyer

Heaven Or Hell, Immortality Or Oblivion

Blessing Or Cursing, Love Or Hate

Light Or Darkness, Truth Or Error Aka Lies

Wisdom Or Folly, Peace Or War

Hope Or Despair, Life Or Death

And Sickness Or Health! 

Contrary To Popular Opinion, This Is Not Rocket Science! 

This Is Reality, Real Life 101! 

The Lord Does Not Have A Hidden Agenda: 

The Adversary Does! 

The Lord Provides Full Disclosure: 

The Adversary Indulges Smoke And Mirrors! 

The Lord Gives The Facts Regarding The Present And The Future: 

The Adversary Obscures The Truth Regarding The Present 

And Boldly Lies About The Future! 

The Lord Can Make You Do What He Wants But He Will Not: 

Satan Would Like To Force You To Do What He Wants But He Cannot! 

The Adversary Hates Who And What The Lord Loves: 

The Lord Loves Who And What The Adversary Hates! 

Let Us Seriously Look At It: 

We Have The Opportunity To Go To The Home 

Which The Adversary Can Never Return To 

And So He Has Made It His Reason For Being 

To Try To Stop Any And All Of Us 

From Going There With His Machinations: 

He Knows What We Will Be Getting 

Because He Knows What He Has Lost! 

Regret Is His Lot: 

Hope Is To Our Glory! 

When You Honestly Take A Look At It

The Choice, Good Or Ill, Is Ours Alone! 

The Word Is Our Guide: 

Really Look At It And Read It With Understanding! 

Brethren, 

I Sincerely Pray That We Will All Forget About The "Feels" 

And Choose To Choose Wisely!  

Peace Be Unto You! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tired ... Tried!?!

KJV Psalms 66:18

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Will You Wear On Your Head What Your Feet Will Walk Upon!?! 

I Was Tired! 

I Am Getting Tired! 

I Am Tired! 

I Tried! 

I Will Be Tried! 

I Am Being Tried! 

Each Of These Statements Mean Something Different 

And

All Of Them Are True 

For All Of Us ... Now ... Today! 

Beloved, 

Consider This: 

You Are Not Letting Go Of That Person, Place, Or Thing 

Because 

It, That, She, He Known Finite 

And

Slowly Killing You Figuratively And Literally 

"Is All That I Have!" 

But

You Have No Problem At All With Casting Into The Flames Of 

"My Foolish Heart's Damnable Desire!" 

The Infinite Being You Truly Need 

Who Moment By Moment Is And Gives You Your Life

Help, Hope, Healing 

And

The Key To His Heavenly Home! 

Lord Jesus, Make This Make Sense! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are A Stubborn And Gainsaying People 

Who Would Criticize To His Face 

The Very Jesus Who Saves Us 

If We Could See Him Face To Face Today! 

Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry

Our Use Of Which Will Have Satan Counting Coup 

And 

Our Lord The Judge Subtracting Saints! 

Please Don't Do A Judas And Sell Heaven's Perfect Treasure 

To Get Earth's You'll Never Spent It Silver! 

Tired!?! 

Add Jesus The Savior! 

Tried!?! 

Add Christ The King! 

With Jesus In Your Heart

All That He Ordains For You To Have And Hold 

Will Be Added Unto You! 

We Are Dust: 

Dust Mines Gold 

And 

Gold Elevates Dust! 

Pray Without Ceasing 

And 

Mine The Scriptures! 

Peace!

Act ... To Be Attached!

King David Said: 

"The Lord Is My Shepherd

I Shall Not Want!" 

The Gospel Song Writer Ralph Carmichael Said: 

"Because The Lord Is My Shepherd

I Have Everything That I Need!" 

Two Statements Of Fact 

Thousands Of Years Apart 

Delineating The Faith And Belief In The One God 

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord

The Creator, Provider, Director, Savior, Deliverer 

Who Loves His Sheep Totally

Without Inhibition

And 

Personally

To The Satisfaction Of The Soul! 

Beloved, 

Do You Co-Sign Aka Agree With And Approve Of 

The Bold Sentiment Expressed!?! 

Does Your Daily Life Say To Others 

And 

Show To Your Keenly Watching Observers That 

You Surely Do Have Confidence In Christ 

And 

Am Not Dismayed By Not Receiving 

What You "Knew In Your Heart Of Hearts!" 

- Whatever That Means - 

That You Had To Have 

But 

Did Not Receive?!" 

Is Your Faith Fickle Or Firm!?! 

Is Your Confidence Cement Or Cosmetic!?! 

Is Your Love Lax Or Latched!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have To Believe To Receive: 

We Have To Act To Be Attached! 

We Have To Pray 

If 

We Don't Want To Fall Prey 

To The Lies And Sophistries Of The Devil 

Who Can Sell Ice To An Eskimo 

If

That Eskimo Does Not Solidly Know Of 

And 

Understand The Truth About The Ground

- The Icy Ground - 

Upon Which He Stands! 

Are You Growing Up In The Lord!?! 

Do You Remember That 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Is 

Lie And Liar Repellant 

And 

Fraud Eraser!?! 

Know Your God 

And 

Stick To Your Goal: 

Heaven With Christ! 

We Have To Believe Him Here 

To Belong With Him There! 

Peace! 

Praying Raises You Up To Almighty God!

Pray ... Without Ceasing 

Aka Boldly Bombard The Throne Of Grace 

With Pleas For Loving Favor For Yourself 

And

For Others 

And 

Always Remember To Give Thanks! 

Beloved, 

You, Me, We Have An Open Invitation 

To Approach The King

Our God Holy

Our Creator Forever Blessed

To Ask For Blessings 

Any Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month, And Year 

No Middle-Men ... No Intermediary ... Required! 

Do You Trust The Lord!?! 

Do You Believe The Invitation!?! 

Do You Believe The Promises!?!

 

Are You, By The Gift Of Faith, Willing To Step Up

Step Out

And 

Show Your Trust In Your Lord!?! 

Faith ... Without Work ... Without Exercise

Is 

DOA Aka Dead On Arrival! 

Think! 

Praying Raises You Up To Almighty God! 

The Lord Christ Lovingly Asks Us 

To Show Our Unwavering Trust In Him 

By Choosing To Be An "Annoying Child" 

So That He May Say ... At The Appointed Time

Apple Of My Eye

Here Is Your Heart's Desire Now, Today

When You Are Truly Ready

To Step Up A Little Higher! 

By Making My Will For Your Life

Your Heart's Sole Desire

You Are Walking Right In Holy Light

And

Growing Up In My Grace 

And

You Are Being Blessed

To Also Bless Others!

Pray, Dear Ones! 

Align Your Desires With The Known Will Of Almighty God 

As Written In The Living Word

And 

Walk Wisely, Confidently, Into The Beautiful City 

At The Time Of His Appointing! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

The Ways Of Our Beautiful Savior Are Perfect!

Peace!

Jesus Christ Knows Your Every Need

As Children 
We Often Went To A Parent With A Questioning 
"Mummy!?!" 

"Daddy!?!" 

Only To Hear Them Reply 

"Yes!" 

Not To Their Name Being Called 

But 

In Answer To Our As Yet Unasked Question! 

We Responded With A 

"But I Didn't Ask For Anything Yet!" 

To Which They Replied 

"I Know What You Need 
And The Answer Is Still 'Yes!'" 

We Then Shed A Happy Tear And Squealed For Pure Joy! 

Our Parents Knew Certain Things! 

Our Heavenly Father 

Who Loves Us Better Than Our Parents Ever Can ... Or Will

Knows Absolutely, Positively, Unerringly, Without Limit

Ever Last Iota About Us ... Before We Do 

And 

Because He Knows All

Sees All

Is In All 

And 

Feels All That Concerns Us

He Is Able To Do All Things 

To Bless, Keep 

And 

Prosper Us All The Days Of Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Lean On Jesus Christ 

The Lord Of Life

The Shepherd Of Rest

The God Of Grace

The King Of Love Who Does All Things Well 

And 

Knows Everything That 
Is 
On The Dash Between Our Day Of Birth 

And 

Our Day Of Death ... And Beyond! 

Think Of

Pray To 

And 

Lean On The Lord 

Who Knows Before

Who Acts Before

Who Answers Before 

We Can Even Verbalize Our Requests! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Not A Useless Idol! 

Our Lord Jesus Can Deliver! 

He Can Delay

And 

He Can Destroy

But

He Will Be Derelict

And

He Will Never Desert Us! 

Our Beloved Jesus Is Holy: 

Worship Him Alone! 

Remember ... 

Peace 
Is 
A Personal Gift To Us From The Eternal God!

Choose To Believe The Lord

And

Be Forever Blessed!

BROKEN CISTERNS AND BLIND GUIDES: Best Life ... Now!?!

On The Scales Of Decision Are 
Man-Made Best Life Now 

And

Everlasting Life With The Lord!
How Are You Living!?! 

Any Of Us Who Name Jesus Christ As Savior, Lord And God 

And

Has Plans To Live Their Best Life Now 

Is 

Most Assuredly Making Plans To Personally Purchase 

An All-Expense Paid, Executive Class
One-Way Guaranteed Ticket To Destination Hell! 

We Are Not Called To Salvation

To Live In Willing Obedience

To Take Up Our Cross 
And
Follow Christ 

To Then Live Sumptuously, Carefree
And
Wickedly Luxuriating In Sin 

And 

Call It Our Best Life! 

If This World And Its Excesses 

Is 

Our Best Life

Christ's Christianity 

Is 

A Failed State 

And 

Almighty God ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 

Is 

A Liar 

And

He Is In League With Satan! 

Light And Darkness Do Not Cooperate! 

Satan Is Of The Condemned Class
And
Jesus Christ Can't Lie
So That Boat Done Sink! 

Our Best Life 

Is 

To Come! 

Our Life Here

Is 

Training Ground

School 

And 

Hospital! 

You Should Know ...

Our Best Life Starts When Jesus Comes 

After

We Have Finished School
And

Completed Our To-Heaven Training 

And 

He Takes Us Home From Hospital-Earth 

After 

We Have Been By Him 
- The Great Physician -

Physically Healed Of Sin And Death

And 

Made Immortal And Incorruptible! 

Earth Is Temporary! 

Christ's Kingdom Is Eternal! 

Which One Would You Say Truly Has The Best Life For You!?! 

Pray!

Be Honest!
Ask For The Wisdom Freely Offered To All! 

Obey The Counsels Of Christ
And

Serve The Creator 
And Not 
The Lying Creatures

Who Live For And To Pleasure Self! 

Truth Is Free: Pray

And

Be At Peace With Almighty God!

The Broken Cisterns Of The World

Don't Hold Clean Water

And

The Blind Guides

Will Lead You Into A Ditch!

CEMENT: Building The Love Relationship Is Everything!

"If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments! 

Speak Peace! 

Be Kind To Each Other! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 

Diligently Seek Me! 

Open Your Heart To Me! 

Pray Without Ceassing! 

Be Faithful! 

Endure All Things! 

Come Unto Me!" 

The Instructions Are Simple! 

The Instructor Is Loving ... Kind ... Divine! 

The Student ... A Servant

Is 

An Own-Way Child

Mortal ... Corruptible

With A Hill To Climb! 

The Stakes Are High: 

Obey

Endure

Keep Faith At Your Core

Give As You Have Received

Pray

Worship And Adore

Walk Through The Open Door 

And 

Eternity Is Thine! 

Will You Lose Out On Your Heavenly Inheritance 

Because Of 
An "I Can't Be Bothered To ... !" 

A "This Is Who I Am!" 

And 

An "It's All About Me!" Attitude!?! 

Our Heavenly Instructor

Our Father

- Our Forever Friend -

Can Be Hurt 
Just As An Earthly Parent, Child Or Friend Can Be Hurt 

But

Our Bad Behavior Costs Us 

Abiding Love

Heavenly Peace

Life Everlasting ... The Eternal Inheritance! 

Are You Following The Blessed Instructions!?! 

Are You Building The Love Relationship!?! 

Are You Walking Through The Only Door!?! 

Is Cement In Your Love 

Or 

Is Your Love Cement!?! 

Do You Value The Love Or The Loot!?! 
Do You Live In Carnal Lust ... The Lie 
Or

In Eternal Truth ... The Life!?! 

Think About It! 

Jesus Christ's Gift To Us

- The Gift Called Peace - 

Is

Perfect!!

JESUS SAVES: Joy Comes In The Morning!

KNOW YOUR SAVIOR:

Almighty God Lifts Up Those

Who Humble Themselves Before Him!

No Matter How Terrible The Day
No Matter How Cruel The Adversary
No Matter How Dark The Night Of Despair
Oh, Child Of The Household Of Holy Faith
Our God Almighty 
Is 
Right There With Us! 

Beloved, 

The Enemy Of Souls 
And 
His Minions Called Unregenerate, Unrepentant Man 
May Come At Us Like The Angry Sea 
With The Storm Of Wind 
But
Our Lord Jesus Christ Says To That Angry Sea: 
"Peace!" 
And To That Storm Of Wind: 
"Be Still!" 
Aka 
"You've Done Enough 
And You've Said Enough 
So Go Away And Know Your Place!" 

Brethren,

Please Dare To Remember 
And Believe 
And Trust 
The Word That Says 
We Are Neither Forsaken, Forgotten 
Nor Left Alone To Suffer Alone! 

Our Lord Feels Our Hurts
Knows Our Adversaries
Cares For Our Souls
Reveals The Way Clear
And 
Heals All Our Wounds! 

Trust The Lord's Love 
And 
Hold On To The Lord's Strong Arm: 
He Makes A Way Where There Is None Visible
Sends Ravens With Food
And 
Pours Water Out Of Impermeable Rock! 

The Devil Is The Liar! 
Give The Living, Loving God Glory, Praise And Honor! 
Pray: Don't Yield To Decimating Doubt! 
Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus! 
Peace Be Upon Us All!

KNOW YOUR ADVERSARY:

Satan Eggs On To Folly

And

Lifts Up Those

Whom He Will Destroy!!

Dare To Hate ... Sin!

The Only Time That A Christian Should Be Called A Hater
Or Should Indulge In Hatred
Is 
When It Applies To Hating Sin! 

Any Other Usage For Hate
- Which Always Leads To The Desire To Hurt
To Physically Harm Others
Is 
Satanic
And 
Is Severely Condemned By The Lord! 

Hate Leads To Murder 
And 
No Unrepentant Murderer 
Shall Enter The City Of God!

Look Around And See The Lives Ruined 
By Misdirected, Misapplied, Misused Hatred 
And 
Tremble Knowing That But For The Grace Of God 
You Could Be Rotting In Prison 
Because 
You Hated Someone And Committed Murder
Or You Could Be Rotten And Forgotten In A Cold Grave 
Because 
Someone Hated And Killed You! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Give Satan Power To Control You 
By Indulging In Hatred Misapplied!

Hate Sin!
Hate Satan!
Hate The Lusts That Would Cause You 
To Sin Against Jesus Christ 
And 
Your Own Soul 
But 
Do Not Play In Satan's Workshop 
By Hating Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died! 

Misused Hatred 
Is 
A Convenient "Devil-Delicious" 
Maliciously-Wrapped
And 
Malevolently-Distributed Candy-Bomb
And
If You Have Such "Candy" In Your Heart
Please Dial 1-800-Call-Jesus Aka Pray Without Ceasing
And 
Bare Your Soul To The King Who Is Always Available!

Remember ...

His Holy Spirit ... The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Judgment -
Defuses And Destroys All Of Satan's Weapons!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Dare To Speak Peace ... And Do Love!

Self, Sin And Satan

Are An Unholy Triumvirate:

Self Leads To Sin

And

Satan Encourages People

To Indulge Self

And

To Practice Sin!

**--**--**--**--**

Jesus Christ ... Our Savior

Died

To Save All Of Us

From Self, Sin And Satan:

Choose To Be Saved!

KNOWING JESUS CHRIST: We Can't Outlive Almighty God's Goodness!

We Are Going To Talk About Our Lord
And
We Are Going To Keep Talking About Him
Until We All Understand Who He Is
What He Does
What He Is Doing
And
Will Be Doing For Each And Every One Of Us ... Personally
If
We Are Willing To Obey And Cooperate With Him!

Today We Are Review Psalm 18 Verse 2
And
We Are Going To Take Time To Understand!
We All Can Read
But
True Understanding For Everyone Of Us
Can Be A Mite Sketchy At Times
So By God's Great Grace
And
The Holy Spirit's Guidance
We Are Going To Unpack This Great Verse Of Scripture!

Always Pray For Illumination

And

The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit

And

Dare To Be Quiet

And

Shut Out The World's Opinions

And

Listen To The Still Small Voice Of God!

Simply Put, 
The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Firm Foundation
Our Impregnable Shield
Our Unassailable Champion
Our Bed, Bath, And Beyond
Our Plate, Cup, Knife
Fork And Spoon ... Not That Abomination Called A Spork
Our Big-Picture Station
Our Storehouse Of Plenty Good Food 
For Our Body, Our Beliefs And Our Laborings
And 
Our Forever Home 
Opened To Accept Whosoever Will 
From Wheresoever You May Come! 

Our Lord Is A Known Quantity
Always The Same
Not Given To Fickleness
Unchanging ... Unchangeable
Our Faithful Pastor
Our Perfect Parent
And
Our Very Much Needed Great Physician! 

Beloved, 

There Aren't, Nor Ever Will Be, Any Immortal Sinners
And
We Will Never Live Long Enough 
- Be It In Time Or In Eternity - 
To Find Out All That Jesus Christ Is Doing
Has Done
And 
Will Do For Us Personally! 

Our Lord Christ 
Is 
The Big God Filling The Immensity Of Eternity
And
He Is Real And Righteous 
And 
Returning For Those Who Choose Him 
As Their Sun, Moon And Stars
Hope, Help And Sure Salvation! 

Please Be Reminded, Beloved, That
We Can Do All Things Through Christ 
Because 
He Is The One, The God, Who Strengthens Us! 
There Is No Us Without Him!

Dare To Know ...
Dare To Believe ...
Dare To Accept ...
Dare To Repeat ...
Dare To Live In The Knowledge That ...

We Are Everything To Our God 
And 
When He Is Everything To Us 
We Are The Majority Against The Wily Foe! 

We Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made 
In The Image Of Almighty God: 
Studiously Lift Up The Lord Always
And 
Without Fail
Be Infinitely, Eternally, Blessed! 

May His Perfect Peace Be Ours Today ...!

... And Forever!

AMEN!!!

If You Are Always Asking God

For Things

Your Mouth Is Always Open

And

You Cannot Hear

What He Is Saying To You

To Bless You:

Choose To Be Quiet At Times!!!

**--**--**--**--**

Be Still ...

And Know ...

That

He Is Almighty God Glorious!
