VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Are You Doing!?!

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For What We Have Done 

But For What ... Being Necessary

We Have Free-Will-Chosen Not To Do! 

Walking In Darkness

Is

A Choice! 

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For Loving Lies 

But For Willfully Choosing To Hate The Truth! 

Beloved, 

Would You Really Want To Be Known As Someone 

Who Tenderly Loves Satan 

And 

Truly Hates The Lord Christ 

Who Created, Maintains, Sustains, Saves 

And

Redeems You From Sin, Death, The Grave And Hell!?! 

Is Indulging Your Costly Pet Sin 

Worth More To You Than Your Own Soul's Free Salvation!?! 

Is Holding On To Your Dark, Bitter, Hurtful, Yesterdays 

Worth More To You 

Than Having Almighty God's Promised Sweet Eternity Of Peace!?! 

Are You Refusing To Hold Love 

Because 

You Are Embracing Hatred!?! 

Are You Feeling Sorry For Yourself 

Instead Of Being Happy That 

Jesus Christ The Kind King Knows Your Name 

And 

Fills Your Needs!?! 

Think! 

You Can't Change Yesterday By Hating Today 

But 

You Can Influence Your Hoped-For Tomorrow 

By What You Do Today! 

The Sacred Gift Of Present Time 

Is-

Made For Change 

So Please Let Jesus Christ 

- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -

Make All Your Wrong Things Right

By Your Willingness To Be Fed

To Be Taught

To Be Corrected

And

To Be Protected From Self, Sin And Satan! 

Let Go Of Sinful Self

And

Self-Serving Self-Satisfaction

And 

Let Almighty God Good, Gracious, Giving 

And 

Forgiving

Rid You Of What Will Not ... What Cannot

Profit You On The Great Judgment Day! 

Where There Is Life, There Is Hope!

I Commend You To The Living Holy Faithful God Of Grace!

Walk In The Light

Which Leads To Eternal Life!

SHUN EVIL: Don't Indulge Rebellion!

Despite Popular Belief 

And 

Self-Absorbed Inclination

There Is No Profit ... No Benefit

In Indulging In Rebellion: 

Rules Are Not Made To Be Broken! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Asking "Why?" Or "What For?" 

About A Particular Rule 

But

There Is A Real Problem With Deciding In Your Own Mind That 

"Rules Are For Fools!" 

And Then 

Daring To Tell Any And All Listeners

"Nobody Can Tell Me What To Do!" 

Let's All Take Heed To The Warning 

So That We May, By Choice Through Grace, Be Blessed 

And 

Saved Into The Eternal Kingdom! 

Please Remember That 

Our Bodies Must Follow Rules 

If 

We Are To Remain Alive 

And

Never Forget That Satan ... Who Inspires Rebellion

Must Follow The Living God's Rules 

Even Though He Roundly Despises Their Stated Limits! 

Let Us Who Love Our Dear Jesus 

Choose To Indulge In The Most Perfect Form Of Heartfelt Worship 

Which Is Willing And Ready Obedience To His Will

His Way

His Laws

And

His Judgments And Precepts 

Which Give Us Open Access To All Of His Promises 

Known Sure, Secure And Blessed Forever! 

Please, I Beseech Us All, Do Not Follow 

The Wayward, Willful, Multitude 

And

Do Known Evil! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Rebellion Leads To Destruction And Death

But

Obedience Leads To Eternal Life 

In The Perfection Of Our Almighty God's Peace And Joy! 

Roundly Reject Rebellion

Against

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

The True And Living Holy God

Who, Alone, Cleanses From Every Sin 

And

Saves, Seals

And

Eternally Blesses!!

Trust The Sure Defence!

A Buckler 

Is 

A Shield ... A Personal Defence 

So Jesus Christ The Lord

Whom We Intimately Lean Upon And Trust

Is 

Our Personal Defence

Our Shield Against Our Foes 

Whether They Are Seen Or Unseen

Known Or Unknown

Near Or Far! 

Beloved, 

We Trust Aka Depend Upon The Lord Christ For Our Defence 

Because 

We Have Proved Aka Tried Him 

And

Have Found Him 

And

Are Finding Him To Be Able And Capable 

And

Most Assuredly Available! 

Memories And Thoughts ...

Let Us Remember What Our Lord Christ Has Done For Us

And 

Think About What He Is Doing For Us 

And

Let Us Look Forward With A Lively Hope 

To What He Has Promised That He Will Do For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Don't Trust Lying Eye-See

Deceitful Ear-Hear 

Or Treacherous I-Feel As You Make The Pilgrim Journey! 

Please Dare, By Faith, To Ever Trust 

The Unchanging, Unfailing

Unimpeachable, Uplifting 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

For Body And Soul Salvation! 

Beware

Be Prepared

And 

Don't Be Scared 

As You Hear The Harsh Words Of 

Those Who Seek To Take Away Your Free Will 

And 

Your Freedom To Choose! 

Dare To Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand Of 

Hope, Help And Healing! 

Dare To Walk In The Living, Holy, Faith Of Jesus Christ 

Which Cannot, Will Not, Fail! 

Dare To Trust The Eternal Word Of 

The Lamb Who Is The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah

And

The Rock Of Ages ... Our Sure Rock Of Refuge

Who Is A Rock Of Offence

And

A Stone Of Stumbling

To All Unbelievers And Evil-Doers! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Please The True And Living God

And

Bless Your Own Soul:

Look Up To Jesus Christ

The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith

And 

Live Abundantly ... Now

And

Forevermore ... At The Appointed Time!

Stop Re-Arranging The Facts!

Speech Belongs To Almighty God! 

Respect Is Due To A Dog! 

Rules Are Not Made To Be Broken 

And

Rearranging The Facts Of A Matter 

Does Not Turn A Bold, Base, Lie Into The Truth! 

Beloved, 

We May Do What We Want 

But

We May Not Do It To Whomever As Long As We Want 

Because 

The Judge Of All Flesh Reigns ... And Rules 

In The Living, Glorious, Kingdom! 

All Too Often 

In The Mistaken Belief That The Sun Rises 

And 

Sets At Our Personal Behest

We Do Unconscionable Things To Others 

In Order To Feel Good About Ourselves! 

Just Stop Already! 

External "Thrills" Will Never Satisfy A Spiritual Desire 

So Let's Take All Of Our Burdens To Our God In Prayer! 

Just In Case You Are Doubtful

Look At The Published Record Of All Those 

Whom Satan And His Lost Legion Have Goaded

Inspired

And 

Tempted To Indulge Gross Folly 

To The Point Of Hospital Bed

Wheel-Chair

Prison Cell

Or Death! 

Let's Not Be Lawless! 

Let's Remember That 

Our Lord Has Promised Never To Leave Us

Nor Forsake Us 

And

Let's Dare To Pray Without Ceasing 

Even When We Don't Feel Like It 

Or Just Don't Know What To Say! 

We Do Not Know How To Pray As We Ought!

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

The Holy Spirit Interprets Our Prayers!

Be Careful, Though! 

Praying Only Works For Those Who Believe That 

The Promises Of Almighty God 

- Through Jesus Christ The Lord - 

Are True 

And That 

He Is Real, Able And Available 

And

Willing And Ready To Deliver Us

And

Deliver For Us! 

Do Right ... And Prosper!

COMMTTED TO CHRIST: Exercised Faith Can't Fail!

 

Every Christian Completely Committed To Christ 

And 

His Eternal Cause 

Must Be Able Able To Say Like Job: 

"Though He Slay Me

Yet Will I Trust Him!" 

In Finite Understanding

The Skeptical Will, With The Worldly, Say: 

"Why Would You Trust Someone

Who Could Kill You!?!" 

To This, We Say: 

Jesus Christ

Is

The Author Of Life

Our Creator, Sustainer, Provider

Lord, God And Forever Friend

And

He Raises The Dead

To Everlasting Life 

And

He ... The Righteous One 

And

Forever Faithful Friend 

And

Kind King

And

Just Judge

Has Promised To All

Who Choose To Believe In Him 

And

Trust Him At His Living Word That 

We Who Live For Him

And

Die In Him Shall

- At The Time Appointed By Him -

Rise From Death To Life 

To Live With Him Forevermore 

On The Glorious Golden Shore!

Beloved, 

The Great God Who Bids You Trust Him

Gives You A Gift Of Faith Each Day 

With Which To Trust Our Jesus 

- The King Of Glory -

Who Calls Us To Partake Of

And

Does Give Grace ... Unmerited Favor

Blessings, Benefits

Gifts Of Holy Love To Us

Whether We Are Grateful, Faithful

Obedient, Enduring

Loving, Kind 

And 

Wholly True To Him! 

Please Dare To Love The Lord Christ 

Who Eternally, Personally, Loves You Intimately: 

Your Exercised Faith In Him Can't Fail!

FAMILY: Jesus Called ... You Answered!

To This Day ... When A Child Is Born

The Question Is Still Asked: 

Who Does This Baby Resemble Aka Look Like!?! 

The Question Seeks To Place This Precious Little Soul 

Within The "Family!" 

Beloved, 

Are You A Christian ... And Still Wondering 

Whether You Belong To The Family Of The Eternal God!?! 

Are You Wondering

If 

The Family Belongs To You!?! 

Are You Being Asked By Others 

If 

You Truly Belong To The Family Of God!?! 

Are You Doubtful Of 

Your Blood-Ties To The Lord Christ!?! 

Are You Walking In Disbelief

Refusing To Believe That Repentant-Sinner-You 

Are Truly Accepted Into 

The Well-Beloved Forever-Family Of God!?! 

Just Stop Already! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous King Called: 

You Answered! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

You Are Infinitely Blessed! 

You ... With Obedient Endurance 

Are Known, Justified, Accepted

Sanctified, Equipped

And 

Sent 

And

At The Appointed Time 

You Shall Be Raised Up To Eternity ... Glorified! 

Do Not Indulge In If, But, Then, Why Me! 

Wittingly Choose To Accept That Your Savior 

Is 

Your Creator 

And 

Your Redeemer 

Is 

Your Re-Creator Who Promises That We ... Family

Shall Be Like Our Maker, Lord And God

In All Particulars 

If

We Forswear Self, Sin, Sinning And Satan 

And 

Wisely Choose To Trust Our Lord 

And

Willingly Obey Him Always

And

In All Ways! 

Brethren, Beloved

You, Me, We Belong To The King: 

Dare To Live Like You Know It

And

Truly Believe It! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

Necessary

And

Fabulously Free!

BOW BEFORE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: Don't Burn With The Damned Devil!

We Will Do Ourselves The Greatest Favor 

When We Recognize That 

The Living God 

Is 

No Respecter Of Persons! 

There Is No List Marked: 

"Can't Do Right-Sinner!" 

And 

There Is No List Marked: 

"Can't Do Wrong-Saint!" 

Beloved, 

Before Aka In The Presence Of The Eternal God

There Is Not One Of Us 

Who Is Able To Say To The Lord:

"I Am Not A Sinner! 

I Am Righteous! 

I Am Clean! 

I Am Without Sin! 

I Am -  By Right

Entering Your Family-Home!" 

Any One Of Us ... Mere Mortals 

Who Can Confidently Tell Almighty God 

How Squeaky-Clean He Or She Is

Is 

God Almighty! 

If You're Mortal, You're Man! 

If You're A Man, You're A Sinner! 

If You're A Sinner, You Need The Savior! 

If You Need The Savior, You're Unclean! 

Since You're Known-Unclean

You Have Nothing To Give The Lord Of Life 

And

You Shall Surely Perish At His Presence 

Because 

He Is The Consuming Fire: 

The Brightness Of His Holiness 

Destroys Sinners And Sin! 

Jesus Christ Paid For Us To Be Made Clean! 

Our Self-Righteous-Cleanness 

Is 

Filthy Rags: 

Get Clean And White Linen

- The Character Of Christ - 

From Christ The King

- The Only One Righteous - 

And 

Save Yourself 

From Having The Shame Of Your Nakedness

- Your Sin - 

Publicly Exposed! 

There Is Profit In Repentance 

But 

Never In Satanic Pride! 

Bow For Worship 

And 

In HeartfeltPraise:

Don't Burn In Destruction By Damnation

Because 

You Reject The Promise

The Offer 

The Gift

The Blessing Of Revival And Reformation!

Perfect Peace

In **And** From

Almighty God

Is

Possible

And 

Provided! 

Trusting Almighty God's Positioning System

Don't Let Anybody Make You Feel Small 

Because 

You Accept The Holy Word

Know Your Own Wretched Condition

And 

Clearly Say To All Listeners That 

You Personally Need King Jesus! 

Beloved, 

Please Ever Remember That 

You Are A Product Of Man's Fall 

And 

Firmly Choose To Remain Humble Before Your Lord 

No Matter What The Naysayers Say 

Or What Game The Gainsayers Play! 

In The Presence Of That Unbelieving Lot

Diligently, Gracefully, Live By Saving Faith 

And 

Willingly Walk Wisely: 

Don't Run About Like A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off! 

Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Cling To The Truth ...

Striving For Heaven 

Is Not 

A Turkey Shoot 

Or A Ball-Game Lucky Shot: 

It's A Sure And Secure Promise! 

If You Can Trust A Fallible Human Like Yourself

You Should Decidedly, Ardently, Trust Your Creator 

Who Is Not A Fallible Creature

But Is

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

And

Ever-Present

 

And

Being Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation

Dare To Live Like You Totally Trust 

Almighty God's Positioning System! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Let Harsh Words Or Stony Faces 

Turn Your Stomach Sour

Poison Your Push For Purity 

Or Cause You To Defy 

And 

Deny Your Savior And Redeemer: 

The Good Book Doesn't Boast 

And 

The Great And Glorious God Of Glory Can't Lie! 

Please Dare To Face Your Fears Through 

Saving Grace And Enduring Faith 

And 

Therewith Press On 

Until You Reach The Sweet Bye And Bye! 

Choose ... By Available Grace ... To Stick To The Plan: 

We're Pilgrims And Strangers 

And

We're Just Passing Through The Earth! 

Longingly Think About Going Home To Heaven!

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Peace With God 

Is 

Profitably Pleasurable! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Faith Must Work!

Are You Faithful Faithful!?! 

Is The Practicing Of Your Faithfulness 

The Direct Fruit Of Your Profession Of Your Faith In Jesus!?!

 

Are You Doing Right In The Light 

But Are Dirty In The Dark Night!?! 

Would You ... Could You ... Honestly Say That 

If You Joined The Underground Staff Tomorrow 

The Next Sound You Would Hear From The Lord Is: 

"Come Forth And Come Up Hither!?!"

Beloved, 

Faith Without Corresponding Works ... Actions

Is 

A Dead Faith! 

Faith Must Act! 

A Cheapened Faith Requires Nothing Of Its Owner 

Save The Payment Of Useless Words That 

Cannot Hold Up Under The Strain Of 

The Test Which We Must All Meet 

And 

Pass 

If 

We Are To Enter The Heavenly Promised Land! 

We Must Acquire Holy Characters 

Like That Of Our Dear Savior 

Who ... In The Midst Of His Stormy Time Of Testing 

Stood Firmly On The 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Let Us, Therefore, Remember Always That 

The Lord Is Faithful

The Gifts Given Are Good And Perfect 

And

The Promises Given Are Sure And Secure! 

Be Faithful, Not Fearful! 

Be Trusting And Truthful! 

Do Love And Walk Right 

And

Ever Remember That 

You Are A Child Of The Day And Not Of The Night! 

The Lord Equips His Called:  

Obey The Will

And

Humbly Answer The Call

And 

Do Not With Your Purchased And Sure Salvation 

Unwisely, Unwisely, Play! 

Let Your Faith Work As Faith Must! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Wherever The Good Lord Sends You

Rest Assured That He, Himself, Is With You!

Walk In Faith

And

Work With Endurance

As You Abide In Eternal Truth!

Peace With Prince Shiloh

Is

The Heavenly-Paradise Special!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Valley Of Sorek + PRAYER: Pity Us, Lord, In Our Wretched Condition!

You, Beloved, Are In The Valley Of Sorek 

Aka Valley Of The Choice! 

You Must Choose Between Good And Evil

Right And Wrong

War And Peace

Faith And Doubt

Honor And Deceit

Jesus Christ And Satan 

And

Heaven And Hell! 

Will You Trust The Truth

Believe The Promise

And

Walk In The Light Of Life 

Or

Wearing Putrid Pride 

By That Designer To The Fallen Stars, Snatch deJoy

Turn Left On Tek-A-Chance

And 

Dance Indelicately On Broadway And Blight 

For New Nickels 

And 

Old Pyrite Nuggets Aka Fool's Gold  

Redeemable Only At What-If, If-Only

And

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda ... Did Not!?! 

Open Your Eyes! 

Regret ... Repentance

Is 

An Horrible Thing 

When Viewed Through Once-Deliberately-Closed Eyes

And 

Even Worse When Hope 

Is 

Dead 

And 

Mercy Is Departed! 

We Are Called To Be Wise Unto Salvation 

And Not

Self-Satisfaction! 

Dare To And Be Different! 

Dare To Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life

And

Invite The Spirit Of Truth 

To Be Your Soul's Sole Companion 

And 

Forever-Faithful Guide! 

Choose Love, Light, Faith

Truth, Peace, Heaven ... Jesus Christ: 

The Spirit Says "Come!" 

PRAYER:

We Desire Above All Else

To Get Home Safely

And

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Father

We Humbly Plead 

Remembering That We Are Dust 

And

That It Is By Your Sovereign Will That

We Live And Breathe

And

Have Any Being! 

Pity Us, Lord, In Our Wretched Condition! 

Open Our Eyes, Ears, Our Hearts!

Cleanse Our Tongues! 

Heal Us From All Unrighteousness 

And

Bless Us To Serve You

To Praise Jesus 

And

To Glorify Your Great Name! 

We Need Help, Dear Father

And

We Plead Our Poverty! 

Please Make The Way Plain 

An

 Help Us To Walk Boldly

Bravely And Unashamedly Upon It! 

You Are God ... Alone: 

We Worship You! 

Have Mercy And Bless Us

Because You Are Love!

Let The Spirit Fall Upon Us

And

Rise Up Mightily In Us

To Bless Us To Willingly Do Your Will!

Please Come For Us Soon!

We Need You!

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lean ... On The Everlasting Arms!

 

Babylon 

Is 

Synonymous With Confusion, Sin, Idolatry 

And 

Satan

Those Things From Which We Truly Need Deliverance! 

The Lord God Almighty Has Plainly Said: 

"Come Let Us Reason Together!" 

... From Anxiety Unto Applause! 

Are You Leaning On The Everlasting Arms

Or

Are You ... From Ungodly Fear

Reasoning In Your Heart Contrary To The Evidence That 

Is 

Plain Truth!?! 

The Lord Has Said What He Will Do For Us 

And 

His Living Word Will Not Return To Him Empty-Handed! 

The Lord Cannot Lie: 

That Is Damned Satan's Damned Domain! 

Beloved, 

As Long As You Pray With Enduring Faith 

And

Walk In Willing 

And 

Trusting Obedience Before The Lord

Know Of A Surety That Whatever You Desire That 

Is Not 

Outside Of The Promises Of God 

Or 

Contrary To The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

You Shall Receive

If

It Is For Your Good 

And

For Almighty God's Glory ... In His Time! 

Wait Patiently Upon The Lord! 

Black And White Is Evidence ...

Dare To Pray Back The Promises Of God "Against" Aka To Him! 

All Of God's Promises To Us 

Are Good In The Court Of Heaven 

And

In Heaven's Storehouses 

Aka The Heart's Desire Fulfillment Center Of Glory! 

Pray! 

Plead! 

Press On 

And 

Be At Peace! 

Don't Stutter! 

Don't Stumble! 

Don't Doubt: Don't Sin! 

Jesus Christ The King Will Deliver You 

And 

Deliver For You! 

You Are The Greatly-Beloved Child

Of

The Great I AM
