PRAYER: We Are Yours, Lord!

Father,

I Love You!

I Bless You!

I Trust You!

Please Keep Me Walking True

So That I Do Not Turn Aside To Fables

And

Lose Faith's Sight Of Zion's Glorious View!

Please Help Me, I Beseech You

To Live In Jesus Christ's Faith

And

Not In Carnal Man's Eyesight

As That Which Inordinately Pleases

The Carnal Eye 

Will The Purchased Soul Blight!

I Desire Your Loving Heart To Delight!

Father, I Desire Also

To Fight The Good Of Faith

So That When The Lord Christ Shall Come

Be I Alive

Or Have Descended

Into The Dusty Bed

By The Voice Of The Archangel

By The Loud Trumpet Call

I Shall Rise Up

Absent The Effects Of The Fall!

You Are My Hope

My Joy

My Help

My Salvation!

Please Help Me Not To be Craven

And

Lacking Intestinal Fortitude

And

The Backbone Made Strong

By Imbibing Eternal Truth

Stoop Low

To Choose Man's Traditions In Worship

Over Sound Bible Doctrine!

Purge From Me, Lord

The Known Soul-Destroying Pharisee Leaven!

I Desire To Reach Home

Where Jesus Will Bid Me Welcome

To Enter By Right

Through The Gates Of Heaven!

Father,

I Pray For The Brethren Beloved

Many Of Whom Are Already Suffering Persecution

For Standing On The Rock Of Truth!

Please Grant Unto Them According To Need

The Humility Of Moses

The Persevering Strength Of Jacob

The Loving Heart Of David

The Zeal Of Elijah

The Faith Of Daniel

And

The Trust Of Job!

Please Help Them To Keep A Zion Song

In Their  Hearts

As They Go On The Lord's Errands!

Oh, Father,

There Is So Much Suffering

So Much Sorrow

So Much Hate

So Much Discontent

So Very Many Malcontents

Who Despise Law And Order

And

See No Rule That By The Sordid Will

Cannot Be Bent!

Please Protect The Innocent From The Guilty

The Weak From The Overbearing Strong

The Meek From The Fierce

The Righteous Man From The Irreligious

And

The Believing Faithful

From The Miasma Liberally Being Spread

By Those Bold Doubters!

Lord, Help

Or Else We Perish!

Please Keep Us Faithful

As We Toil Diligently In Your Loving Care

And

Bless Us With Endurance

Which Will See Us Ascending To Your Paradise

On The Great And Final Day!

Grant Unto Us Peaceful Rest

And

At The Dawn's Sight

A Restored To Health, Rejuvenated, Rising!

We Are Yours, Lord

And

It Is To You, Alone

In The Name Of The Beloved

The Holy Jesus

That We Make These Few Petitions!

Thanks For Hearing

And

Thanks For Answering Our Humble Prayer!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: BALLOONS: Leaden Truth Or Helium Lies!?!

In A Time Called Present
In A Place Called Here
Lives A Balloon Called Lead
Who Is Known To Speak Plainly 
To The Multitudes 
Often Causing Them To Cringe 
In Multifarious Despair!

By Many ... He Is Disliked!
By Many ... He Is Feared!
By Many ... He Is Jeered
And
By Many ... He Is Spoken Against
Because
He Issues Truth Bombs That
Make Man's Unsavory Doings
Abundantly - To All - Quite Clear!

It Is Like This ...

Lead Balloon Has What Some Call
A Nasty Penchant
At The Most Inopportune Times
For Dropping His Truth Bombs
Which ... Just As His Name Implies
Drop Like Lead 
And
Explode Amongst The Wrong-Doers
The Evil-Doers
The Evil-Surmizers
The Back-Biters
The False-Oath Takers
And
The Rest Of Their Ilk
Who Take Time To Publish Their Talent
- Back-Stabbing And Hurting Others -
Whilst Pretending To The Observers That
They Are Being Oh, So, Gallant!

They're Not!

Lead Balloon Is Never Malicious!
He Just Speaks Truth
Uncolored
Unvarnished
Unspun
In Season
Out Of Season
Popular
Unpopular
Inconvenient
Always Relevant
And
Ever True To The Great One
Who Gave Him To His Great Aunt Patreeda!

His Mommy, Anita
Never Even Wanted To Hold Him
Far Less Know Him!
As A Baby ... He Was As Heavy As A Grown Man!

To Some People Proud
Lead Balloon Is A Buffoon
Even Unto An Unwashed Pearl-Wearing Sow!
He Makes - To Them - No Sense!

To Some People Rich
Lead Balloon Is A Veritable Stickler
Who Finds Their Behavior Offensive
And
By His Very Presence
Puts Them On The Defensive!
He's Squeaky Clean!

To Those Who Do Not Make Their Living On Lies
Nor Ever Come Close To Loving The Lie
Lead Balloon Is A Blessing
Because
He Wakes Up Conscience
Rendering Lying To Self
A Total Inconvenience!
They Just Don't Do It!

The Truth Must Be Told ...

If You Love Lies
You Hate Truth!
If You Love Truth
You Hate Lies!
There Is No Middle Ground!
Truth Is Always In Your Presence To Be Found!

Warning, Warning, Warning ...

The Lord In His Mercy
Gives A Warning To The People:

Those Who Have No Love For The Truth
Will Be Given Over To Strong Delusion
Which, Obviously
Leaves All Who Are So Caught
In A Massive World Of Hurt
Where They Will Undoubtedly Suffer
Their Ever So Just Deserts!

Bottom Line ...

Better 
A Lead Balloon Filled With The Truth
That Hurts Temporarily
Than
A Huge Helium Balloon Filled With Known Lies
That Will Hurt Eternally!

What Say You!?!
Is 
Truth For You Selective
Elective
Subjective
Or Objective!?!
Where, In Your Life, Does Truth Fall!?!
When The Spirit Of Truth Calls
Will You Answer That Call!?!

Can You Even Handle The Truth Of The Holy God!?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Is Always Lowly!

Jesus Christ Died The Second Death

So That I Would Not Have So To Do!

Jesus Christ Lives So That I May In Him Live

And

With Him

Highest Heaven Rise Up Unto!

Jesus Christ Prayed A Model Pray

So That I Should Know How To Pray!

Jesus Christ Cares Sacrificially For Me

So I Should Know Who To Direct My Prayers Unto

- In His Name -

Each And Every Day!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Saves To The Uttermost!

Jesus Christ Raises Up To Life

Even Those Whom The World Calls The Guttermost!

Who Are You Going To Believe!?!

The Gross Liar Or Tribe Judah's Lion!?!

Who Are You Going To Believe!?!

Damned Satan The Lost

Or

The Innocent Lamb Slain Who Lives 

But 

Was Once Dead Upon The Cursed And Cruel Cross!?!

Lies Are Oft Lofty!

Truth Is Always Lowly!

Lying Gifts Are Ultimately Useless And Always Showy

But

The Plain Blessings Of Almighty God Are Always For Man's Good

And

Ever Always For Almighty God's Glory!

Think My Brother, My Sister, My Friend!

Think People Of God From Beginning To End!

Truth Does Not Need Color, Craft, Nor Spin

And

Those Who Are Strangers To Truth

Will Never Heaven's Pearly Gates 

- By Right -

Ever, Ever, Walk In!

Trust The Lord
And 
Obey
And

Do Not By Self-Satisfaction Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay

Because

Those Who Willfully Embrace That Indulgence

Will Join Satan In The Lake Of Fire's Consuming Effulgence!

Self-Serving Costs!

Obeying The Will Of Almighty God

Will Always With Great Blessings

Substantially, Exponentially, Pay! 

Wait Patiently

Embracing The Lord's Plain Truth

And

Doing His Known Will

For

The Coming Great And Awful Day! 

Enough Sufficient And Then Some ... With Prayer

The Conversation ...
That Conversation
Was Causing Serious Problems
For All Its Participants
Because
Every Time A Person
Waxed Emphatic
A Voice Was Heard
Denying The Truth Of The Person's Word!

Things Were In Turmoil!

I'll Give You An Example ...

Horace Said:
I Trust God!Voice Said:
Not Enough!
When It Is Convenient!

Heather Said:
I Walk With The Lord!Voice Said:
Not Always!
When It Is Comfortable!

Stephanie Said:
I Believe God's Word!Voice Said:
Not Enough!

When It Is Convenient!
When It Is In Compatible Company!

Nola Said:
I Thank God For His Grace!
Voice Asked:
Not Always!

Why Aren't You Walking In It?

Sanjeev Said:
I Live For The Lord!Voice Asked:

Not Always!

Who Knows It?
Where Is Your Light?

Phenola Said:
I Witness For The Lord!Voice Asked:

Not Always!
With Whose Words?
With What Spirit?

You Will Be Surprised
To Know
That In The Conversation ...
That Conversation
The Participants Were
Only One
Plus
A Conscience
- Compliments Of The Holy Spirit -
Which Was
Which Is

Often Denied!

The Bible AsksAND

Speaks:

AND
I Ask:

Who Better
To Call Us Plain Liars
Than The Conscience
Attached To Us
By God's Cord?!

For Truth's Sake

I Will Accuse My Self
In The Conversation ... 

My Conversation
AND SAY:

I Don't Love God ... Enough!
AND
I Don't Trust God ... Enough!OR
Walk With Him Close ... Enough!AND
I Don't Believe In God ...Enough!

AND

Let Him Lead Me ... Enough!AND

Then I Will Exclaim 

With Much Sorrow
That

I Am Crying Out To God In ...

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord

Grant Me

Of

Love Hope

Faith Truth 

Trust

And

Belief

Enough

Sufficient And Then Some

So That I Do Not End Up With

None

For

I Desire To Walk

And Live For

And With You

And Without These

I Know That I Cannot

A Victorious Race Run!

Grant Me, Lord

The Redeemed Soul's Sense

To Get Out Of Sin's Torrential Rain

Using The Umbrella Of Jesus Christ's Faith

And

Grant Me The Contrite Heart's Willingness

To Let You Break

- With Finality -

Old Besetting Sin's Chain!

Father,

Grant The Courage

To Speak Your Truth

Without Being Vain

And

Please, Lord

Help Me

Neither In Thought

Word Or Deed

Your Holy Name

To Profane!

Lord, 

Let Me Not Shine The Black Light

Of That Other Jesus!

Let Me Not Spread

The Delusional Gospel

Of That Other Word

That Is Widely Being Heard

But

Let Me Be A Faithful Witness

To The Living Gospel

Of Christ The King's Truth

And

Let Me Do It Lovingly

By Holy Faith

And In

And With 

The Same Incorruptible Truth!

Let My Light So Shine

That Men May See

Christ Jesus

Living In Me!

Help Me To Live Such A Life

As Is Called Godly!

Let Me Plant Seeds

That Will Become A Harvestable Crop

To Provide Wheat

For The Holy God's Garner

And

Lord, Please

Let It Be A Lot!

Forgive, Lord

And

Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name I Plead!

AMEN.
