VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Holy Spirit's Call

I Bless Myself Every Day ...!

Now, Really!
How Can YOU Bless Yourself
When Blessings Come From The Living God!?!

If You Had Not Cut Me Off, Pretti Pearson
You Would Have Come To Hear Me Say That
I Bless Myself Every Day By My Choosing
To Believe That The God Of Heaven Is God Almighty
That Jesus Christ Is Savior, Lord And King
That His Word Is Alive And Working
That His Promises Are Sure And Secure
And
Are Even Now Performing
And 
That My Life Is His
Because
My Name Is Indelibly Engraved On The Palm Of His Hand!

I Choose To Accept That 
I Live By Him 
And 
I Must Labor For Him!

I Choose To Walk Wise 
And 
Ignore Satan's Bold Lies!

I Choose To Humble Myself
So That The Lord Doesn't Have To Humble Me
And
In Faith
I Choose To Fall Upon The Rock Of Ages To Be Broken
So That By Him I May In His Reckoning
Be Made Eternally Whole!!

It Sure Took You Long Enough To Wise Up!

Time And Seasons, Sweet Girl!
Time And Seasons!

You Know, I Often Wonder About Those
- Like The Procurator Felix -
Who Truly Know The Truth For The Time Now Present ...!

... But Are "Waiting For A More Convenient Season!?!"

I Honestly Believe That Those Are
The Most Dangerous Words
A Human Can Ever Utter In Relation
To His Own Soul's Salvation!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

True, But I Believe It Is Worst Than That!

Really!
What Can Be Worst That Dropping Down Dead!?!

Think About This:

We All Know From The Living Word That
Tomorrow, Truly, Is Not Promised
And, Yet 
Wicked Men Seem To Live Forever And A Day
Behaving Like Time
- You Can't Save Time
Or Borrow Time
But You Can Spend Time - 
Is 
On Their Side
And, Presumptuously 
Telling The Lord
- Actually The Spirit Of The Living God -
By Whom They Would Be Sealed 
Against The Great And Dreadful Day
To ... Wait On Them
To Not ... Bother Them At That Time
To Come Back To Them ... Later ...!

.. At The More Convenient Time That Never Comes ...!

... Not Recognizing That
The Most Convenient Time Is Always Now
In The Currently Available Present Moment
When You Are Hearing The Holy Spirit's Gentle Call!

They Don't Understand That 
You Can Only Answer The Holy Spirit
When He Is Calling Out To You
And 
Not When They Feel To Call Out To Him!

I Hope That You Have Scripture To Back That Up!

Isn't That How We Always Roll!?!

Very Well!
Present Your Evidence!

If People Feared The Lord
The Would Answer The Lord's Call
When They Hear Him Calling Them
And
Not As And When They Feel Like It
So Let's Start With Proverbs 1:7:

 
Everybody Has That Terminal Decision To Make:
Answer The Call And Live Forever With Jesus
Or Ignore The Call And Ultimately Perish With Satan

And 

Just So We All Know That
The Almighty God Good Means What He Says
Consider The End Of Israel's First Worldly Ruler
King Saul, The Disobedient
Who Chose Self
Self-Satisfaction 
Self-Aggrandizement
And
The Available
Supposed Convenience Of Accursed Witchcraft 
Over Assuredly Blessed-Forever Obedience
And
Free To All 
And 
Presently Available Soul Salvation!

Oh, My!
You Make A Really Good Point!
His End Was Fearful
And It Was At His Own Appointing!

True, True!
The Lord Laid The Framework For The Good Life!
King Saul Chose Otherwise!

The Lord Calls Us All To Obedience
Because No Man Can Save Himself
No Matter What Satan Tells Him By Practiced Lies!

The Lord Gives Us All A Work To Perform
To Bless Ourselves 
And To Glorify His Holy Name
And All With His Promised, Blessed, Outcome Attached!

These Are All Good Points!
This, In A Nutshell, Then
Is What The Holy, Living, Word Of God Says:

Go Where I Send You!

Do What I Say!

Answer When I Call You!

Seek Ever To Obey!

I Do Not Call You To Annoy You!

I Call You To Bless You And To Save!

I Call You To Make Your Life Holy, Prosperous

And To Remove You From Being

Sin And Self's Slave!

My Call To Man Is Not Indefinite!

Every Day Has Its Appointed End!

Please Answer

In The Hour, The Minute, The Moment:

Do Not Ignore Your Call-To-Salvation Day!

Be Humble!

Be Constant!

Submit To The Holy Spirit!

Be Instant In Pray!

I Will Your Every Burden Bear!
I Am Calling You!

Answer "Yes!", I Beseech You, Beloved!

Answer Your Personal Call To Everlasting Life

Today!

The Bottom Line ...

In The Way Of The World

If You Play With A Kitty

You Will Get Scratched

And

The Pain Of Same Is Unmatched!

In The Way To Heaven

- To Surpassing Glory -

Your Playing

With Your Own Soul's Free Gift Of Salvation

Will See Your Name

** From The Book Of Life Of The Lamb **

Being Scratched!

Christ's Glory

- With Us To Be Shared -

Is Unmatched!

This Is An Indelible, Incontrovertible, Fact!

Are You A Word Watcher?!

Please, Ma'am
What Do You Mean
When You Say
"Watch Your Words!?"
Words Don't Have A Body!

Ah, But They Do!
Some Are Heavy Weight Champions
Some Are Butterflies
Some Are Nasty Nellie's
AND
Some Are Annoying Flies!

Some Words Push You
Some Words Pull
Some Words Run You Down
AND
Some Words Make You Feel Like A Gull!

I Like Gulls!

Oh, No! Not Gull As In Bird!
Gull As In To Make One Feel Like An Idiot!

That's Not Very Nice!

Do You Still Think
Words Have No Body
Aka No Weight?!

Well  ... I Am Not Too Sure. ...Yet.

Come, Let's Walk For A Moment!

Ryan, You Are A Kindhearted Soul!
Why Is That?!

Well, It's Nice To Be Kind
And Mom And Dad Both Teach
That What You Give You Get Back
And That Soft Answers Turn Away Wrath
And
Do Unto Others What You Want To Be Done Unto You!

Wouldn't You Call That
Ingesting Good Food?

Sure, I Would!

And When You Say Something Nice
Wouldn't You Agree That You Are Displaying
The Fruit
The Benefits
From The Good Food
That You Ingested ... Ate
AND
Digested  ...  Learned Grew From
AND
Expressed ... Practiced?!

Yes, I Would!
I Think I Understand!

If You Understand, Prove It!

I Heard Coach Keene Call Mason
A Rather Nasty Name
AND
I Actually Saw Mason Recoil
As Though He Had Suffered A Physical Blow
AND
Afterward He Looked Physically Ill!

There You Go!
So What Do You Now Say?!

Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones
BUT
Unkind Words Are Sure To Harm Me!

Well Said!

Now I Desire That You Remember This:

People Watch Our Words!
Our Expressed Words Come From Within Us
Showing Others What Is Inside Of Us
AND
Very Often
A Lifetime's Worth Of Living
Can Never Erase
The Looped Unkind-Word Recording
That In Another Person's Head Plays
AND
There Is No Pencil
Well-Enough Equipped
To Erase The Lasting 
UGLY
AND
WEIGHTY
Bad Impression
That We May Have Unwittingly Made!

Watch YOUR Words!

Yes, Ma'am!
I Surely Will!
Thanks For For Taking The Time
To Explain Things To Me!
I Appreciate You!

Thank You, Kindly!
I, Also, Appreciate You!

Even At Your Worse

Jesus Christ

Gently Calls Out To You

So Please Emulate Him

AND

Do Likewise

In Interacting

With The Brethren!

The Works and Workings of Almighty God

GOD IS NOT A MAN!

Sooo ....

Let's Get Our Minds Around That Fact

AND

Save Our Souls Absolute Distress

For Believing That God Is As Our Selves!

God Cannot Die!
God Cannot Lie
AND
Even Tough It Is Bandied About in The Din
God Cannot - God Will Not 
Save Us While We Continue Reveling In Our Sin!

God Does Not Joke
So God Can't Prank You!
So, Please Make A Note
God Does Not Need Our Up-Vote!

God Cannot Undo The Past!
God Cannot Not Punish Sin!
God Cannot Change

AND

God Has No Love for That Destructive Work That He Calls Strange!

God Loves The Sinner!
God Hates Sin!
God Welcomes All Who Will
Come to Him Their Known Sin Confessing!

God Hears Our Prayers!
God Answers Our Prayers Because 
He For Us Cares
BUT
God Has Nothing For
The Double-minded Man
Who Doesn't Know Whether He Is Going or Coming!

God The Father
God The Son
God The Holy Spirit
Three Distinct Operating Beings
Which Agree As One!
We Creatures Cannot Pit Each Against the Other
As We Do Our Parents Here on Earth
For 
All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
They Are
AND
They have No Gear Called 
Back-back
Turn Around
Change Position
Nor
Reverse!

God IS Love!
God Has No Kid Gloves!
God Reigns In Earth 
AND 
In Glory!
His Footstool Is Earth
AND
His Throne Is In Glory!

God Is Calling You!
God Is Calling Me, Too!
God Will Not Scream!
God Will Speak Quietly
AND
Even Appear To Us In Our Dreams
BUT
Know With All Confidence
That When We Deny The Liar
AND
Give Up The Life of Dirt
God Will Wash Away The Past
God Will Make Us Anew
God Will Help Us To Endure 
Until This Life Shall End
AND
At The Last Trumpet
God Will Raise Us Up Immortal
To Enter Redeemed
In Through Heaven's Glorious Pearly Gate Portals!

God Cries!
God Gives Good Gifts!
God Heals!
God Feels
BUT
God Cannot Steal
FOR
All That He Surveys IS His
AND
If He Were Hungry
He Would Not Tell Us
For We Surely Have Not The Wherewithal To Him Feed!

God Made Us All
AND
He Gives To Us All
A Portion of His Blessings!
We All Know The Who
BUT
We Will Never Know
The What
The When
The Where
The Why
NOR
The How
Of Almighty God's Provision
NOR
What Is Enough
NOR
What Is Sufficient
BUT
We Know With A Certainty
That There Is No Being Who Can Order God
To Become More - Or Less - Efficient
For There Is No One
Who Can Say To God:

"Know What, For A God
You Are Gross
AND
Your Methods Are Grossly Deficient!"

God 

IS

Sufficient 

Unto Himself!

ACCEPT THIS

and

PROSPER

in

HIS LOVE and CARE!!
