VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer Of Faith

 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord

For Your Grace That Is Sufficient

Your Mercy Ever Free

And That

The Fact Remains That

The Prayer Of Faith Will Always Reach Thee! 

Please Help Us To Ever Remember That 

The Devil Is The Liar

And

His Words Are Truth Reversed

And That 

His Mission Is To Have Us Continue To Live

Under The Wretched Conditions That 

Initiated The Curse!

Please Help Us To Be Wise

Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

Please Help Us To Ever Trust You 

And

Walk In The Light Of The Truth! 

Please Help Us To Uplift Your Holy Name 

And

Bless Ourselves By Worshiping You 

Through Faithful, Enduring, Obedience

Which Will See Us Ascending With You One Glad Day

To Enter Your Blessed Rest

In The Land Of No Night

The Land Of Eternal Youth!

Please Open Our Eyes

Unstop Our Ears

And

Help Us To Not Only Hear And Embrace The Truth

But To Act Decisively

On Your Living, Holy, Word Which Works! 

Father,

You Have Promised That 

Your Word Will Not Return Unto You Void, Empty

But Will Accomplish The Mission Of 

Getting Us Who Are Willing

Back Into Your House Of Love 

Which Has Room For All Who Will Look Up

To Jesus Christ, The King 

To Be Saved And To Eternally Live! 

Please Accept Our Heartfelt Confession And Repentance

And

Forgive And Cleanse Us As You Promised

And

Welcome Us Into The Fold Of Safely

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That

We Humbly Pray And In Dire Need Plead!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Prayer Of Faith Is A Moving Elevator!

If Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone 

But By Every Word That Comes From God

And

Jesus Christ Is The Word Of God Who Taught Us To Say: 

"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" 

And

Requested Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And

To Pray And Not Faint

And

Prayer Is As Our Necessary Food 

And

We Must Eat Every Day

Does It Not Stand To Reason That 

We Should Pray Every Day For The Outpouring 

And 

Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth!?! 

Beloved, 

Praying Does Not Bring Almighty God Down To Us 

But

Lifts Us Up To Almighty God 

And 

Changes Us As We Await 

The Change Of Our Then Circumstance! 

Humble, Heartfelt Prayer Is An Elevator! 

Humble, Heartfelt Praying Is A Moving Elevator

And

A Mood Elevator! 

The Helper Is Here ...

The Holy Spirit Takes Our Less Than Perfect Mouthings 

- Uttered With Unclean Lips Via The Heart Of Faith - 

And

Transcribes Them With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered 

And 

Makes Them Suitable For The Ear Of The Holy God! 

We Need Jesus Christ Who ... For Love

Gave Us The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth

And

The Power To Pray

And

The Faith To Make The Transaction! 

Praying Without Faith

Is

A Noisy Abomination!

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Can't Beat The Omnipresent God's Loving Giving 

And 

You Can't Wear Out His Ability 

To Give You Good And Perfect Gifts!

 

Seek The Lord Of Love And Life 

In Unwearied, Faithful, Praying! 

Endeavor ... By Saving Grace

With Mercy Available And Free

To Tirelessly Knock At His Door Of Plenty 

And 

Persistently Ask For What You Need! 

Don't Seek To Feed Your Greed: 

Let The Holy Spirit Lead! 

Pray For Holy Spirit Power Today! 

Pray Now! 

Peace! 

Faith Without Praying

Is

A Lie

And Is As

A Slow And Painful Death!

HAPPY SABBATH + Almighty God's Mercy Showered Upon Us Is Free!

 

The Door Of Mercy

Is

Still Open! 

The Lord Is Light! 

I Am Human ... With Needs!

 

When Light Falls Upon Me

I Cast A Shadow 

Because 

I Absorbed The Light! 

My Shadow 

Is 

Either On The Ground Or Upon A Wall: 

Shadows Are Seen! 

When I Pray To Almighty God Who Is Light 

And

Mercy

An Inexplicable Thing Happens: 

My Prayers Of Supplication Become Mercy's Long Shadow! 

Prayer ... Praying ... Generated By Faith

Turns Me Into A Light Source That 

Impacts Mercy ... Via The Throne Of Grace 

Where I ... By Personal Invitation

Had Been Encouraged To Boldly Approach 

To Find Grace ... Unmerited Favor

To Help Me In The Times Of My Need! 

Just So You Know ... 

Faith Makes Us Humble 

And

Humility Makes Us Pray 

And

Prayer Causes Heaven To Work Opening Heaven's Storehouses 

To Bless Us With Our God's Infinite Blessings And Bounties! 

Beloved, 

Do Not Neglect To Pray: 

The Prayerful Are Powerful!

The Prayerless Are Powerless! 

We Have Been Given An Holy Power To Bless Ourselves 

By Blessing Our God Eternal With Our Requests 

For His Available And Able Assistance 

Through The Prayer Of Faith! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Faith Without Prayer Is Useless! 

Prayer Without Faith Is Useless! 

Since Prayer Is Light

Let's Light Up Our Own Lives 

And

Our World By Praying 

Which, In Turn, Will Cause Our God's Free-To-All Mercy 

To Cast Long Shadows Over Us All: 

Mercy Helps And Heals! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Free! 

Truth Is Free! 

Blessings Are Free! 

Faith Is Free! 

Hope Is Free! 

Healing Is Free! 

Heaven Is Free

And

Praying To The Father

In The Name Of Jesus Christ His Son

Under The Ministration Of The Holy Spirit

Is

Free! 

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Who Personally Watch Over You As You Pray 

Is 

Free! 

Dare To Pray Like Your Life Depends Upon It

Because

It Does! 

Truth Is Light! 

Light Is Life! 

Walk In The Light Of Life!!

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

Joyfully Embrace Mercy!

To Live Is To See Change

And

Wherever There Is Change There Is Decay! 

Be Glad ...

We Were Not Created 

To Just Change From Day To Day To Year To Death 

Like Animals Without Hope 

So We Need To Repair To The Creator-God

Jesus Christ Is Not One To Lie! 

Any Friend Not Named

Jesus Christ The Lord

Is

A Fair- Weather Friend! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord

Is

The Only One 

Upon Whom We Can 

And

Should 

Ever, Always, In All Ways, Always Depend!

Beloved, 

Let's Pray Passionately ... Not Politically Correctly!

Let's Pray Faithfully ... Always Truthfully

And 

Really Talk To Our Father ... Our Jesus

- With The Help Of The Holy Spirit - 

As If Talking To Our Best Friend: He, Alone, Is! 

Only A Look ... 

Lovingly, Longingly, Look At Jesus Christ! 

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart! 

Touch Him! 

Embrace Him! 

Cry Out To Him! 

Laugh With Him ... Never About Him! 

Talk To Him About Everything ... He Knows Your Need! 

Get Angry At Him: He Can Handle It! 

Be Happy That He's There For You! 

Ask For A Gift: His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 

Apologize For Sin And Selfishness! 

Rest In And On Him! 

Listen To His Words, His Heart! 

Praise Him Again: He Deserves It

And 

Repeat ... Ad Nauseum!

Praying Is Not A Corporate Symposium! 

Trust Ye In The Lord Jehovah!

Anything Less Than

Perfect Peace

Is

All-Out War!

 

Humbly Pray The Promises Of God!

In The Bitterness Of Your Soul

In The Trial Of Affliction That Would Cause 
The Carnal-Strong To Fall

Oh, Child Of Faith
Pray The Prayer Of Faith 
Calling On The Lord God Known Mighty To Save 

To Keep His Promises To His People As A Whole

And 

To You Personally! 

The Lord's Hands Are Not Shortened 
So That He Cannot Perform

Nor Are His Ears Deaf 

So That He Cannot Hear Your Pleas! 

Beloved, 

We Live In Desperate Times 
Amongst Wicked And Declared Evil People 
Who Know Not God 
So Let Us, In Faith, No Doubting
Call Unceasingly Upon Our Lord Jesus
Displaying Our Weakness And Our Need
And 
Permit His Strength ... His Strong Arm ... To Show! 

Let's Run To The Rock Of Our Salvation
Praying The Promises Of God
And 
Hang On For Deliverance 
And 
Dear Life!

Jesus Christ Is Our Shelter 
No Matter How Life Around Us Does Storm! 
Jesus Christ Stays Storms With A Word: 
"Peace! Be Still!" 
So Please Hold On To Your Certain Hope
Surrender Your Storms To The Deliverer
And 
Have His Blessed Peace In Your Heart Today! 
He Has Never Failed At Delivering On A Promise
And
He Never Will!

The Humble Prayer Of Faith

Is

A Cashier's Check!

Pray ... And Persist In Prayer!

Brethren,

See To It That You Heed The Word Of The Lord!
Remember That He Said To One ... And To All:
Pray ... Without Ceasing
And
Pray ... And Don't Faint
Aka Give Up, Be Dismayed
Be Anxious About Everything!

Prayer, Beloved
Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses
To Those Who Believe In The Living Word!
Pray ... And Persist!

Understand One Thing, Though:

We Are Not Telling The Lord
Anything That He Does Not Already Know!
We Are Allowing Our Prayers Of Faith
To Carry Us Up Towards Our God
Whom We Know Can Help Us
And 
Whom We Truly Believe Will Help Us!

So, Little Children, With That In Mind

Whatever Your Sorrow
Whatever Your Need
Cry Boldly ... Even Bitterly
But 
Always Humbly 
And
With Faith 
Unto Almighty God ... In The Name Of Jesus
For Your Relief And Release! 

If You Have Any Doubt Within You
Please Tell The Lord About It
And
Ask Him To Help You Get Rid Of It!

The Lord Does Not Have Anything

To Give To Anybody

Who Does Not Believe In Him 

And His Ability To Provide! 

Think About It ...

Our Prayers Are Conversations: 
We Speak And The Lord Listens 
And
The Lord Speaks ... And We Listen! 
Pray ... And Listen ... And Pray Again!

Pray ... Until Something Happens!

A Word Of Caution ...

Please Do Not Let Your Prayers
Be Always About I-Want, I-Need, Gimme, Gotta Have It!
Prayers Of Thanksgiving Are Always Welcomed 
And 
Always Accepted!

Let Us Be Mannerly
And
Confident
When We Approach The Throne Of Grace 
Remembering To Whom We Speak
On Whom We Rely
In  Whom We Trust
Through Whom We Shall Ascend The Heights Of Glory
And 
With Whom We Shall Spend Eternity 
In The Sweet By And By! 

Beloved, 

We Are Blessed Beyond Measure 
Because
We Have A Carte Blanche ... A Blank Check
Which We May Courageously Fill In 
With The Ink Of Faith: 
It's Already Signed By The Heart Of Infinite Love 
And
Will Be Honored Only As It Blesses You
And
Glorifies His Great Name! 

Pray Passionately In The Moment Of Your Need 
And, Again
I Say Unto Us All: Pray Without Ceasing! 

Praying Is Power
Because
Prayer Is Powerful
Because
Our Ability To Pray To The Majesty Of Heaven
Is 
A Gift To His Children 
From The Holy Hand Of The Eternal God
Who Is All-Powerful ... All-Knowing
All-Seeing ... Ever-Present!

Please Do Not Give Up On The Border Of Receipt 
Because 
You Stepped In A Coil Of Doubt! 

Pray On Anyhow 
And 
Press On To Receive Your Blessing: 
You Shall Not Be Made Ashamed! 

Hold On To Your Hope In Jesus Christ 
And 
You Will Be Blessed:
It Is The Promise Of Almighty God!

Never Forget That

"No!"

Is Also The Answer To Prayer!

Our Father Knows Best!

The ACTS Of Prayer!

Okay!
Now It Is Time To Consider The Act or The ACTS Of Praying!

What Four Words Can We Use
To Create An Acrostic For ACTS!?!

Adoration!

Confession!

Thanksgiving!

Supplication!

Those Are All Excellent Choices
And
Perfectly State The Case
When Before The Lord We Attend!

Here's Our

ACROSTIC

   

A doring The Almighty God
C onfess Christ And Your Sins And Indulge
T hanksgiving To The Eternal Before
S upplicating Him For Others And Self!


But, Brethren 

We, You, Me ... We Have A Problem! 

We Can't Bring The Father Down:

We Must Go Up to Him! 

We Must Not Be Like Discourse
And

We Must Not Be Like Shopping List!

The Lord God Of Grace 
Is Not 
A Heavenly Ebay, Wish, Or Amazon

So Change Your Attitude

If It Is Your Desire To Enjoy Eternal Bliss! 

If It Is Our Desire

To Really Attach Ourselves To Our God

We Must Indulge Intercourse

And

Not That As Promulgated By The Agents Of King Fraud! 

We Are Warned:

Saying Prayers To Our God Holy 

Should Never, Ever, Involve Repeating A Word

A Phrase, A Chant, Or A Mantra Multiple Times! 

I Guess Then That Prayer Beads

Rosaries And The Like Are Given The Kibosh! 

You Got It In One! 

No Beads, No Rosaries! 

The Lord God Is Creator, Savior, Provider, Healer 

And

Friend ... Best Friend
And
He Has Given Unto Us His Outline For Our Prayers
Because
He Loves Us And He Sacrificially Cares For Us
And
Upon His Love, We Can Surely Depend!

Indeed!

If We Diligently Follow The Lord's Leading
We Will Never Go Astray! 

Well Said!
When We Speak To The Lord ... No Appointment Necessary
We May Speak To Him Of Joy, Sorrow, Desire

Pain, Hope

And 

Ask For Help 

And

Listen To His Response ... I Beseech You, Please

And

Give Thanks And Praise 

And

Bless His Holy Name! 
He Is Worthy!

So What You Are Really Saying Is, For Example 

If I Was Telling My Best Friend About

Oh, New Shoes, New Store, New Mall

I Would Talk Color, Purpose, Heel Height, Price

Distance To Mall, Good Time To Go

Ambience ... Smells, Sight, Sounds

Service, Satisfaction, Pleasure Derived

And Tell Of Problems Endured

And Request Commiseration Aka Expect Commiseration

Offer Thanks And Appreciation For Listening

Exchange A Loving Look

Experience A Tender Touch

Enjoy A Hug

Relish A Laugh

Wallow In A Companionable Silence

And Listen Raptly ... Each To The Other 
As Exchanged Thoughts Are Conveyed! 

Wow! Just Wow!

I'm Shook!

Indeed! 

Before We Totally Get Carried Away, Though
Let's Just Bear In Mind
And
Remember Never To Forget 

When We Have Our Real Conversation With Our God
That Above All Else
He Is Holy!

Our God Knows Everything!
You Can't Fool Him!

You Can't Lie To Him!

He Knows What You Need Before You Do 
And 
Before You Express It

And 

That He Loves You Best! 
Remember The Sacrifice!

I Hear That!

The Lord Desires To Hear Our Prayers

Petitions
And

Praises

He Desires Us To Make Big Requests Of Him! 

He Desires Us To Prayer With The Power Of The Written Word ...! 

... What Do You Mean By That!?! 

Simple! 

Dare To Believe His Word
And
Pray Back To Our God 

The Very Promises That He Has Given To Us! 

For Example!?! 

Come Unto Me 
And I Will Show You Great And Glorious Things 
About Which You Know Nothing! 

Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God!

Nice! I Like That!

Have Hope, Brethren
Believe The Lord At His Word
Trust Him And Obey Always
And
Pray With The Power Of 
Your Daily Gift Of Faith ... Unceasingly!
Blessings Be Upon You All!

AMEN!!!
