There Is No Death In Righteousness!

The Way Is Jesus Christ: 

He Is The One Righteous! 

The Pathway Is That Marked By Jesus Christ Himself! 

The Pathway Of Righteousness 

Is 

That Path For One's Feet 

Where It Is Impossible For One To Go Astray 

When One Moment-By-Moment Chooses 

To Faithfully Follow In The Footsteps Of Our Savior 

Doing What He Did

Speaking As He Spoke

Loving As He Loves

And 

Choosing To Let Your Conscience 

As Directed By The Holy Spirit Who Leads One Into All Truth 

Be The Sole Guide For Your Life In This Vale Of Tears! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Expect To Hear The Still Small Voice Of God 

In The Whirlwind

In The Earthquake

In The Fire

Or In The Multitudinous Voices Of The Self-Serving Sort! 

Dear Ones, 

When We Long For The Sights And Sounds Of 

Those Seeking Distraction From Sorry Self And Sordid Sin

The Clamor They Make Gives One The Impression That All Is Well! 

These Dear Souls

Purchased At Infinite Price With The Innocent Blood

Find No Peace In Quietness 

And As Such

See No Point To Being Still! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Learn As King Solomon Learnt That 

A Life Lived By The Senses 

Is 

No Life At All 

But 

Vanity And A Vexation Of One's Spirit! 

Learn From The Prophet Elijah That 

It Is In The Stillness That 

We Will Hear The Lord  Speak! 

There Is No Life In Unrighteousness

And

There Is No Death In Righteousness! 

The Life Lived For Christ Has No End! 

Let's Live For King Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Don't Ever Forget ...!

You Can't Be Too Rich To Be Humble! 

You Can't Be Too Poor To Be Grateful! 

You Can't Be Too Christian

To Not Need The Lord Christ

And

You Can't Be Too Wicked

To Approach The Almighty God

In Heartfelt, Humble, Prayer!

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

Think Deeply On This Thing ...

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Life-Giver Who Speaks Life 

And 

Has Given To Us Who Choose To Believe, Trust
Honor, Worship And Obey Him 

The Sure Promise That If We Live For And Die In Him

We Shall Rise Up When He Calls Us 

To Go Home To Glory 
And
Live With Him Forevermore! 

Beloved, 

We Who Live For Jesus Christ 

Have No Need To Fear The Death That Is 

Appointed Once For All Mankind! 

For Us Of The Household Of Faith

That Death Is Sleep 

For We Shall Live Again! 

The Promise Is Written With Innocent Blood! 

Unfortunately, Those Amongst
Who ... Like Satan ... Choose To Be Willfully Disobedient 
And 

Unrepentant 

And 

Thus, Unsaved

Shall Die The Common Death

And

Shall Rise Up For Judgment In Their Great Day 

And

Being Condemned And Damned

Die Forever In The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire! 

These Rejected The Grace And Mercy Of The Risen Lamb! 

This Second Death

- Eternal Separation From Almighty God - 

Is Avoidable: 

It Was Never Meant For Us 

So Let Us Choose To Not Be Numbered Amongst 

The Eternally Lost! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

King Jesus Saves! 

Living Truth Works! 

Willing Obedience Blesses! 

Humble Praying Profits

And 

Enduring Faith Pays! 

Please Trustingly Hold On To 

The Eternal Promises Of Almighty God Who, Alone, Saves! 

Our God Is Real And Returning! 

May The God Of All Grace
Grant His Perfect Peace Unto You
In This Week Ahead!
Be Thankful ... And Be Blessed! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Complete Canalization Cure: The Holy Spirit

Anything Not Committed To Christ

Will Be Used By Satan

As A Canal To Your Soul's Damnation!

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

I Am At A Loss!
I Read Of One Pastor Saying That 

He Used To Be Afraid Of The Holy Spirit!

I Read The Work Of A Bible Teacher Who Says That 

We Can Learn To Make "Direct Contact" 

With The Holy Spirit And Intimating That 

We Can Do So At Will!

I Read My Bible
And The Word Of The Lord, Himself
Calls The Holy Spirit Another Comforter
So I Don't See What There Is
In The Holy Spirit To Fear!

I Read In My Bible That
No One Can Come To The Lord
Unless The Holy Spirit Calls Him!

I Also Read In My Bible About 

Communion With The Holy Spirit
Cooperating With Christ
Obedience To The Will Of God
Faithfulness, Endurance
Witnessing To Brethren
But I SEE No Where That
I Can Have Personal Contact ... At Will
With The Omnipotent Holy Spirit God!

Will Somebody Please Enlighten Me To The Truth, Please!?!

That's A Lot To Unpack!

God, Almighty God, Is A Spirit
And 

They That Worship Him
Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth!

Your Valid Point Is:

The Holy Spirit Calls Us!

My Point To You Is This:

The Holy Spirit Takes Up Residence
In Your Heart-House!
You Need Your Heart To Live!
You Can't Turn Your Heart On And Off
So If The Holy Spirit
By Your Uncoerced, Personal, Invitation
To The Lord Christ
Is 

In Residence
And
You Are Cooperating With Christ
Are You Not ... Already
In Personal Contact With The Holy Spirit!?!

Secondly,
If The Holy Spirit Leads Us
Is Leading Us Into All Truth
How Can We Not Be In Personal Contact With Him!?!

Thirdly,
If The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides Us
How Can We Not Be In Personal Contact With Him!?!

Brethren,

The Church Is Filled With Many Persons
From Other Religious Traditions
And
There Are Many ... Even In Leadership Roles
Who "Believe" That Sight And Sound Is Salvation
Aka Pray A Prayer
Receive A Word, A Sign, A Wonder
And
You Are Saved!
You Have Salvation!

Put Differently
There Are Many Who Like To Have A New Thing
With Which To Thrill The Brethren!

I Ask You This:

Why Are You Searching For That 

Which You Have In Possession!?!

The Impartation Of The Holy Spirit
Is
A Gift To Us From The Lord
And
The Vision, The View, Of Our Gift
Is
Our Changed Lives, Likes, Dislikes
Desires, Hopes
Interactions, Reactions
Tastes, Temptations ...!

... Temptations!?!

Oh, Yes!
The Temptations That Satan Sends The Way Of
The Confessed, Converted, Christian
Are Strictly For The Purpose Of Shame And Denigration!

Shaming You ... The New Child Of Almighty God
And
Denigrating The Lord Christ
Because
The Knowledge Of His Sacrifice 

Didn't, Couldn't, "Stop" His Professing Child Reborn
From Doing The Nasty By Nature!

Before You Chose Christ
- By Accepting The Holy Spirit's Call -
You Were A Known Enemy Of The Eternal
So, Therefore, No Threat To The Dark Lord's Dominion!

As A Confessing, Repentant
Turning Away From Sin Unto Salvation
Practicing Christian
You Are Become A Problem
Thus A Threat
Thus A Target
And 
Marked For Neutralization
By Threatenings, Tests, Trials
Torrid Temptations
And
If All Else Fails
Termination With Prejudice!

Death To Defiers Of The Damned One!

Indeed!

But ...

We Have This Hope ...!

... Within Our Hearts!

AMEN!!!

What Do You Do When Satan's Knocking You!?!

Pray!

What Do You Do When Love Is Calling You!?!

Pray!

What Do You Do When Hope Is Gone!?!
What Do You Do When You're All Alone!?!
What Do You Do When You Want To Call The Heavenly Home!?!

We Pray, Pray, Pray!

What Does The Holy Spirit Do With Your Prayers!?!

He Intercedes With Groanings!
Groanings That Cannot Be Uttered!

Who Knows The Mind Of God!?!

The Holy Spirit Of God!

And If We Have The Holy Spirit Indwelling Us
- Living Within Us -
Does It Not Stand To Reason ...!

... The Lord Said Come Let Us Reason Together ...!

... Which Means Gives The Lord Your Sin
Your Scarlet
Your Crimson
AndHe Shall Make Them White
Like Snow
Like Wool!

For That To Happen
The Gift Given By Your Personal Savior
- His Indwelling Holy Spirit -
Must Do A Personal Work Of Refurbishment
Reformation
Regeneration
In Me, In You, In Us!

Is This Something That We ... Fallen

Sinful, Sinning, Creatures Can Do!?!
Is This Something That We Can Engineer
By "Tapping Into!?!"

Brethren,

We Cannot Go To The Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit Comes To Us!
We Do Not Instruct The Holy Spirit
Saying:

Today I Want The Gifts Of The Spirit
Tomorrow I Want The Fruits Of The Spirit
Two Days Hence I Want To Witness To A Stranger-Friend
Next Sabbath I Want To Prophesy ...!

... If We Have The Power To Do All Of That
We Make The Word Of Almighty God A Verifiable Lie
And Our Blessed Lord A Charlatan!

In Essence
We Can Save Ourselves
And
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice For Us
Is
A Total Failure ... A Waste!

Isn't That Satan's Endgame!?!

Always Was And Always Will Be!

Brethren,

We Must Be Wise Unto Salvation!
The Word ... The Way Of The Lord
Is
Simplicity!

The Lord Has Told Us
How To Get To The Father
Which Is Through The Son
Who Gives Us Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is By Invitation
When We Accept The Living Word Of God 

Which Is Able To Save Our Souls!

Jesus Christ Is The Word!
The Word Became Flesh
And
Dwelt Among Us!
He Lived To Show Us How To Live Now!

He Died, Got Up

And 

Rose Up To The Father
And
Is In The Most Holy Place Of

The Heavenly Sanctuary 

Making Intercession For Us!

Before The Lord Christ Left The Earth
To Return To His Glory With The Father
He Said He Would Send Us Another Comforter
To Lead Us
To Be With Us
To Comfort Us
To Teach Us
To Bless Us!

The Lord Christ Did Not Lie
Because
He Cannot Lie!

He Is The Truth!

Since His Living Word Is Tried Gold
Imperishable
Rest ... Assured
That You ... A Born Again
Faithful, Believing
Working, Waiting, Watching
Cooperating-With-Christ Christian
Is
In Personal Contact With The Holy Spirit
Who Is Almighty God!

You Don't Need To Learn ... How
To Get Into Personal Contact
With The Holy Spirit!

What We Need To Do Is To Indulge
Willful Obedience
Ready Praying
Hard-Working Faith
Prayerful Watching
Constant Cooperation
Wise Witnessing
Loving Care
And
Cheerful Sharing Of Good Food

Blessing Words
And
Caring Comfort To All People
Friend, Not Yet Friend
And, Yes Even Our Foes!

We Do Not Need A New Thing
To Excite Our Fancy!
We Need To Trust
Honor, Worship, Obey

And

- The Hard One For Most -
Cooperate With The Lord
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
So That We May Be Eternally Blessed!

AMEN!!

Our Charge For The Week Ahead Is Found In

Proverbs 12:28 :

Righteousness Exalts ...Raises Up
A Person, A Family, A People!
Our Lord Jesus Is Righteousness Personified
So Let Us Endeavor To Daily Walk In His Footsteps
So That In The Great Day Of Judgment
Our Reward Is Not Condemnation But The Well-Done Commendation
And
The Welcome Into The Joy Of Our Lord!

Remember ...

Right Living ... Righteousness
Is
A Choice Which Pays Present, Future
And
Eternal Dividends
That No Created Being Can Erase Or Steal
Because
Jesus Christ ... By The Holy Spirit
Saves And Seals
So Let Your Life Lived In Him Shine As A Light In This Dark World Of Sin!

Peace Be Unto You!

AMEN!!!
