Instant Justice!?! + PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, For The Blessings That Give Forever!

Never Get Comfortable In Or With Sin! 

Beloved, 

Think For A Moment Of What Our Lives Would Be Like 

If 

Our Savior Dear Dispensed Instant Justice - No Mercy - 

For Every Unchristian, Unholy, Unauthorized Thing That We Did 

And

Consider Where You Would Be 

Given Your Checkered Personal History! 

Also, Think About What Your Life Would Be Like 

If 

"Do To Others What You Want Them To Do Unto You!" 

Was Instantly Activated In All Facets Of Your Life 

Given Your Present Attitude, Outlook

And 

Personal Practice! 

Dear Ones, 

Aren't You Glad That We Have The Savior

Our Blessed Jesus

Who Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities 

Because 

He Knows The Weight We Carry 

Because Of 

Sin Inherited From Our Fore-Parents Adam And Eve!?! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

We Give You Thanks And Praise 

For The Privilege Of Praying To You

The Holy God Who Has Given Unto Us

The Blessed Gifts Of Confession And Repentance

And

The Hedge Of Protection That Is

The Ten Commandments

And

The Promises Of The Beatitudes

The Blessings That Give Forever! 

Please Help Us To Choose The Way Of The Cross 

And

To Choose To Cross The Road  To The Other Side

When We See Known-Sin Approaching! 

Please Help Us To Do Good Because It Is Right

And

To Love Others As We Love Ourselves

And

Willingly Do All For The Love Of Jesus Christ

Our Savior, Lord, God

And

Soon Returning King!

AMEN! 

Peace, Beloved!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Converging Or Diverging!?! + PRAYER: Please Help Us To Pray Always!

 

Are You A Diverging From 

Or A Converging With The World Christian 

Aka Are You Different From The Worldly-Wise 

Or Are You As The Worldly-Wise!?! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Were In "The Line-Up" 

Would Anybody Say In Your Regard, As A Swear-Word: 

"This Person Is Not Like The Others!" 

Are You Standing Apart, Walking, Talking, Dressing, Behaving

As One Belonging To The Master Of The Wind 

Or As One Who Is Being Mastered By The Changing Winds Of 

This God-Forsaking World!?! 

The Lord Jesus Knows! 

Do You!?! 

Do I!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It 

Because 

Our Being Possessors Of The Eternity Of Peace 

Depends Upon Our Answer! 

Peace! 

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We Come As Children Of Faith

And

With Pitiful Cry Ask You To Help Us

To Obediently, Enduringingly, Follow

The Living, Holy, Word Of Saving Truth

So That We May Know Of A Surety

Our Eternal Standing 

In Jesus Christ Our Glorious Lord!

Please Help Us To Pray Always

And

Not Faint At The Barbs

And

Threatenings Of The Evil One

But To Standing As The Faithful

Rooted And Grounded

Sheltered And Protected

Unmoved And Unafraid

Because

We Know That Our God Is Real And Returning

And

His Promises To Us Ever Sure

And

Only Require Our "Yes, Lord!" And "AMEN!"

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead!

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! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer: Father, I Choose To Boast Of My Lord Christ!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

I Come To You As A Child

Trusting You At Your Sovereign Word That 

You Will Train Me Up In The Way That I Should Go 

So That I Will Put Away Childish Things

And

Grow Up In Your Saving Grace 

So That Nothing That The Adversary Of My Soul Does

To Try And Turn Me Away From

The Path Of Righteousness 

Will Entice Me To Depart From The Light That 

Leads To Your Everlasting Life! 

I Come To You As An Eager Student

In The Eternity School Of My Lord Jesus 

Who, Alone, Saves 

And

I Ask You For The Eraser

To Clean The Tablet That Is My Heart

Of All Useless, Unprofitable, Ungodly Things 

Which Would Stunt My Growth

As A Child Of The Everlasting Father

The Prince Of Peace! 

In Saving Faith, Father 

I Beseech You For Your Writing Instrument That 

Will Burn The Truth Into My Heart Permanently 

So That My Thoughts Are Ever With You

And

My Words To My Brethren

Will Be The Wonderful Words Of Life! 

Father, I Choose To Boast Of My Lord Christ 

And

So I Come To You As A Willing Worker 

Desiring To Utilize A Space As A Worker In The Fields 

Which The Master Said Are Ripe For Harvest 

But For Which The Workers Are Few 

To Reap His White Wheat 

And

Bring That Goodly Harvest Home To His Barn! 

Father, My Hope Is In The Lord 

And

I Plead With You To Teach And Feed Me

Lead And Guide Me

Direct And Correct Me

Protect And Provide For Me

And

Commission And Accompany Me 

As I Seek To Do Your Holy Bidding

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That 

I, Poor And Needy, Humbly Plead! 

AMEN! 

No One On This Planet Walks Alone!

How Often Have We Heard Friends, Family, Acquaintances

And 

Even Not-Yet-Friends 

Boldly Even Arrogantly And Aggressively Say: 

"I Don't Need Anybody! 

I Can Make It On My Own!?!" 

Were You Impressed By Or Were You Saddened For 

The Proud Sayer And Lonely Bird Caught In A Storm Of Despair 

But 

Unable Or Unwilling To Humble Themselves Before The Lord 

And 

Say With Longing Heart: 

"Oh Lord, Please Help Me Now! 

I'm Not Just Alone But I Am So Very  Lonely

And Deathly Afraid

And So Very Weak! 

Please Pity Me In My Distress And Have Mercy! 

Lord, 

You Said To Come Boldly

With All My Burdens

My Sorrows And My Joys

And Share Them With You 

Because Without You

Joys Turn Into Sorrows

But With You, Burdens Are Lifted

And Earthly Sorrows Turn Into Heavenly Joys! 

Father, 

Please Open My Eyes To See Your Light That 

Leads To Abundantly Living And Eternal Life! 

Please Grant Me A Heart Of Flesh 

So That I Will Walk Obediently 

And In Perfect Peace With You! 

Please Help Me To Be The Friend That 

I Would Want To Have For A Friend

And Help Me To Love My Neighbor As I Love Myself 

According To Your Living Word!" 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

No One On This Planet Walks Alone! 

You, Me, We, Either Walk In Accord 

And 

Under The Headship Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Or

Satan By The Fallen Angels Walks Companionably With You! 

Let's Examine Ourselves Right Now! 

Peace!

Careless Words Cost!

Careless Words Cost 

And 

Costly Words Cure Us Of Carelessness! 

We Used To Have An Old Expression 

About Paying For Your Mouth 

And If People Used To Have To Go Down To Coleridge Street

At The Court Building

To Pay For Their Often Useless Talk

They Wouldn't Talk Foolishness! 

Beloved, 

There Is Bible For Your Feet In This Matter! 

Our Words Justify Us! 

Our Words Condemn Us! 

The Old Folk 

And 

The School Master And Mistress 

Used To Tell Us Not To Talk Idle! 

Dear Ones, 

Many Of Us Believe That 

The Only Bad Words Are Swear Words 

But

We Should Sincerely Look At Unkind, Careless

Lawless, Crude, And Cruel 

Aka Candy-Coated Venomous Words! 

We May Spend Our Word-Money Carelessly 

And 

Start Using "Words On Credit" 

But 

The Debt-Collector That 

No One Can Turn Around Or Escape From 

Will One Day Be Right At Our Side! 

Have You Counted The Cost Of 

Self-Condemnation And Other-Denigration!?! 

Same Tongue Different Day Hell To Pay 

Stands Up Against 

Same Day Different Tongue Glory To Share! 

The Call Is Yours Alone To Make! 

I Sincerely Pray That 

We Will All Choose To Speak Peace

Share Love

And 

Give God Glory! 

Words Lift Or Lower! 

Choose The Good Portion! 

Peace!

Tears Are A Language That God Understands!

We Have The Perfect Example Of 

How To Live On This Earth 

In The Person Of Our Blessed Jesus! 

Even Though He Was High And Mighty

Divine And Holy

The King Of Earth And Glory

He Was The Willing

Trustworthy, Caring, Able, Capable

Approachable Servant 

Who Knew His Mission

Who Stuck To The Plan

Who Maintained Constant Contact With His Leader

And 

Was Not Afraid To Touch The Untouchable

And 

Was Undeterred By Dirt! 

He Was A Friend 

To All Who Appreciated Him As Such ... Or Not

And 

He Was Not Influenced By Who Had Stuff And Pedigree 

Or Dismayed By Who Was A Non-Entity Aka A Nobody! 

Jesus Prayed And Pressed On! 

He Knew That Quiet Time With His Father In Heaven 

Was The Key To Success On His Mission! 

Jesus Knew That The Living Word From On High Spoke Life 

And 

Imparted Vigor, Strength 

And 

Incentive To Accomplish The Mission! 

Beloved, 

Think On These Things 

And 

Remember That We Are Not Better Than Our Master

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

We Have A Work To Do 

And

A Destination To Get To! 

We Have An "Employee" Aka Servant Review To Pass 

So That We Will Keep Our Pick 

So That We Will Remain On Track For Promotion 

To The City Of God! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Paychecks Aka Rewards Are Determined By Performance: 

Let Your Gift Of Daily Faith Work For You 

As You Choose To Willingly Work For The Lord!

 Tears Are A Language That God Understands! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAY FOR SOMEONE: Correction Is Better Than Rejection!

If We Do Not Correct Our Children

They Will Corrupt Themselves! 

If We Do Not Pray For Our Children

They Will Be Prey For Someone Else! 

Beloved, 

Prayer And Correction Go Hand In Hand: 

We Receive This Good Teaching From Jesus Christ The Lord!

Refusal Of Correction Is The Philosophy Of Satan The God-Fraud!  

Our Father Is In Heaven And His Way For Us Is Clear! 

He Teaches Us The Way To Go 

And He Gently Corrects Us When We Go Astray! 

Dear Ones, 

When You Have Done The Thing Foolish

Let Your Repentance Be Swift! 

Forgiveness Is Only By The Lord Given 

And It Is The Blessed-Forever Gift! 

God's Forgiveness Cannot Be Bought Or Bartered

And We Cannot Play With It 

Because It Is Never Casually Bestowed! 

Correction Is Never Pleasant 

But It Is A Necessity 

And It Will Be Humbly Accepted And Followed 

By All Who Desire To Enter The Eternal City! 

We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing

To Humbly Repair To Prayer

To Spend Time In Sweet Communion 

With Him Who Does Our Every Burden Bear! 

We Are All Children Of Someone

Be It By Blood, By Faith, By Affection, Or By Adoption

And That Means That You Are Loved By Someone 

Who Desires Your Blessing And Entrance Into The Courts Above! 

Correction Cures! 

Praying In Faith By Following The Word

Makes Our Motives Pure

So Do Not Permit Lack Of Correction

Into Bold Sin Our Children Lure! 

Pray For Someone!

I Am Praying For You! 

Peace!

Correction

Is

Better Than Rejection!

Don't Let Satan Piss In Your Pot!

Anger!

Is Anger Eating You 

And 

Is It Causing You To Want To Eat Somebody 

Raw ... Without Salt!?! 

Our Lord Commands Us To Be Angry 

And Not Sin 

Because 

We Are Quite Capable Of Getting Angry 

And

Boldly Sinning 

Without Regard For Either The Cause Of Our Anger

Our Heart's Condition

Or The Real Consequences Of 

Unrestrained, Runaway, Anger! 

Beloved, 

The Statement Has Been Uttered 

When People Have Become Angered That 

"The Blood Rushed Into My Head And I Saw Red!

Others Have Said, After The Fact, That 

"I Lost My Head!" 

Heads Up, People! 

Satan Found It! 

Some People Have Spoken Of Raging Anger As 

"The Devil Pissing In Their Pot And Them Wanting Blood!" 

Still Others Speak About Not Getting Mad 

But 

Getting Even! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Loves, Loves, Loves This Kind Of Language: 

The Lord Of Life Does Not! 

Let Us Remember That 

Misunderstandings Over Mistakes 

Make Minor Matters Major

And

Man Miserable! 

Think Before You Talk! 

Use Wisdom Before You Walk! 

Apologize Before You Antagonize! 

And 

Pray Before You Prey On Someone 

Or Become Someone's Prey! 

A Moment With Jesus Christ 

Always Saves Your Sanity 

And 

Your Day! 

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!

Using The L.O.D.E: Changing Hurry Into Hurray!

When Man-Generated Hope Is Gone

Christ-Gifted Holy Faith Working 

And

Enduring 

Allows Us To Change 

"Please Hurry, Lord!" 

To "Thank You, Lord! Hurray!" 

Beloved, 

Our Depending Upon Self In Matters Of Faith 

Is 

Akin To Running Behind A Fuel-Less, Driver-Less

Engine-Less, Moth-Balled Vehicle! 

It Ain't Going Nowhere And Neither Are We! 

Our God Alive, The Lord Jesus Christ

Is 

The True Strong-Hold

Our Impenetrable Shelter

Our Perfect Refuge 

And

He Gives To Each Of Us 

A Measure Of His Faith Each And Every Day 

To Use To Trust Him At His Eternal Aka Can't-Fail Word! 

Dear Ones, 

The Day That We Truly Understand That Self 

Is 

A Willing Sinner 

And

Accept With Unadulterated Joy That 

Jesus Christ The King 

Is 

Our Only Savior 

Is

The Day That There Shall Be Our Joyful Celebration 

In Recognition Of The Fact That 

It Is Indeed The Mighty God That We Serve! 

All Of Us Who Choose To Trust The Lord 

And

Wait Upon Him 

Shall Surely Renew Our Strength! 

We Will Be Like Those Who

- With Prayer And Supplication With Thanksgiving - 

Will Light The Fire

And 

Place A Pot Of Water On To Simmer 

With The Full Expectation That 

Soon The Ingredients Necessary To Cook A Substantial Meal 

Which Will Do A Body Good 

Shall Surely Appear! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Sinful-Self Is Destructively Used By Satan

But

The Faith-Fuelled Saint Aka Sinner-Saved 

Willingly, Wisely, Serves The Eternal God 

Lovingly, Obediently, Devotedly, And  Enduringly! 

Let Us Daringly Endeavor Today 

To Fully Let Jesus Christ's Gift Of Unfailing Faith 

Lubricate Our Lives! 

Peace!

Consider Your Ways ... And Please The Lord!

Let No Human Or Malevolent Spirit Fool You: 

Attitude About 

And

Behavior Towards The Lord Are Everything! 

Our Blessings And Our Prosperity 

Depend Upon Our Total Obedience 

To The Word And The Will Of Our Almighty God! 

Partial Obedience Is Disobedience ... Which Is Dangerous 

And

Willful Disobedience Is  Deadly! 

Just Ask Nadab, Abihu, Achan

Hophni, Phineas, Balaam, And King Saul! 

Disobedience Comes Of The PEG

Aka Pride, Envy, And Greed

Which Is In The Devil's Domain! 

Nothing Good Ever Came Or Will Come From 

The Hand Of Satan! 

Beloved, 

See Sin With Your Eyes 

But 

Don't Ever Choose To Romance It 

No Matter How Beautiful

Mouth-Watering

Or Potentially Profitable Its Appearance! 

The Lord Asks Us To Consider Our Ways 

Because 

Our Unsancitified Ways Obviously Do Not Please Him 

Even As They Do Not Bless Us! 

Folly Is Not Common-Sense! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Follow Uncommon Sense

Aka Faith

And 

Bless Almighty God With Our Willing, Ready, Obedience! 

When Our Ways Please The Lord

He Causes Our Enemies To Be At Peace With Us! 

Best Of All, Though

When We Seek The Kingdom Of God 

And 

Make It First In Our Affections

The Necessities Of Life Will Always Be Provided To Us 

And

We Shall Surely Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Peace!

PRAYER:

Father, 

Please Help Us To Be Wise Unto Salvation 

So That Our Ways Will Please You Today! 

AMEN.

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: The Year Is New And God's Word Remains True!

Father! 

My God In Heaven!

Holy Is Your Name! 

I Sincerely Beseech You To Help Me To Remain Faithful 

So That You Will Always Be Father To, And Holy For, Me! 

May You Thus Be For All Who Are Committed 

To The Cause Of Jesus Christ! 

I Have No Known Reason To Doubt You Or Your Word 

And By Your Saving Grace, I Plead, Lord, That 

The Day Will Never Come 

When I Know Who For, What With, Where, Which Way

And When I Will Choose To Betray My Savior For Comfort And Cash 

Which Are Mere Illusions 

In The Eternal Scheme Of Things! 

It Is My Soul's Desire To: 

H ave A Regular Talk With My Jesus

A ppreciate That I Am Truly Blessed

P ray For Friends And Enemies

P ut My Spiritual House In Order

Y ield Not To Temptation

N ever Depart From The Savior's Side 

E ncourage Others On Their Journey To Joy

W atch, Work, And Wait For The Great Day

Y ield My Will To My Savior

E ndure All Things For My Lord

A llow The Holy Spirit To Work

R ejoice That The Lord Christ Is The King! 

In The Name That Is Above All Names

The Only Name By Which We Are Saved

I Pray For The Brethren The World Around 

Who Are Seeking For, And Coming To, Faith That 

Their Heart's Desire Will Be Met 

While It Is Yet Day! 

Remind Us That Our Happiness

Is Only Found In The Lord Jesus Christ

And Bless Us To Find Our Contentment In Him!

Please Protect, Provide For, Correct

And Direct Us All Who Are Willing 

On The Narrow Way Home! 

Remember Us All In Your Great Mercy As Only You Are Able 

For We Love You More Than Life Itself! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!!!
