VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Shhhhh! "E" Words Inside!

 

Who Are You!?! 

Enlightened Or Entitled!?! 

Confessor Or Possessor Of Truth!?! 

A Christian Committed To Jesus Christ The King 

Will Never, Ever, Possess The Spirit Of Entitlement! 

Every Gift Of God 

Is 

Free From Him To Us 

By Our Free-Will Acceptance 

So There Is No Place Or Call For Entitlement! 

Possessors Of Truth By Working Faith Will Confess 

But 

It Is A Rare Thing To See Professors Of Truth 

Being Humble Enough To Confess That 

They Are Children Of The Great King 

Willing To Stand Up In The Light Of Life 

No Matter The Rabid Opposition Which They Will Undoubtedly Face! 

The Heart Enlightened By The Truth 

Is 

Enlivened By The Holy Spirit - Who Leads Into All Truth - 

And 

Is Lively To Tell The Good News Of Almighty God's Great Grace That 

Leads To His Surpassing Glory! 

Unregenerate-Self Is Dissolved 

And 

The Saint, Being Daily Sanctified, Walks Humbly Before His God 

And

With Enduring Faith

Presses On The Upward Way 

To Reach The Home Of The Forever Blessed! 

Entitled Self Is A Sure Sinner! 

The Humble Saint Is For Christ The King! 

Please Learn The Clear Difference 

And 

Choose The One Which Will Surely Help You 

To Walk Through Your Designated Pearl Gate 

And 

Into That Glorious City Which Has No Night There! 

Be Wise For Your Own Being-Regenerated-By-Christ Self! 

Peace! 

Choosing To Be A Doorman In The House Of God!

To Be A Committed Christian 

Is 

To Be A Volunteer For 

And 

A Willing Servant Of Jesus Christ The King! 

You Know Upfront That 

Only The Obedient, Trusting, Faithful, Enduring Ones

With Skin In The War Against Self And Sin

Will Survive The Great Controversy 

The Battle Between Good And Evil! 

You Know That 

Your Greatest Enemies 

Will Be Those In Your Own Household! 

You Accept That 

Living For Jesus Means Dying To Self 

And 

Walking Wise On The Lonesome Road 

Without Benefit Of Earthly Support! 

You Learn To Expect Rabid Opposition! 

You Choose To Be A Doorman In The House Of God 

Than To Dwell In The Show Places Of 

Rampant Wickedness! 

You Choose, By Grace, To Be Humble 

And 

You Faithfully Practice Humility! 

You Turn Away From Pride 

And 

Showy Displays Of Excess! 

You Care About 

And 

Pray For The Many Lost And Hurting Souls 

Who Are Looking For  Part-Time Love With A High Price 

When Infinite Love 

Is 

Free And Accessible For All Mankind! 

You Rest And Are Refreshed 

In The Quiet Place Of Prayer 

And

You Are Confident In Christ 

Knowing, Expecting

And 

Grateful That 

You Are Never Alone 

Because 

You Are Walking In Unfailing Faith 

And 

Not Trusting Fickle, Deceitful, Blind Eyesight! 

Safe In The Arms Of Jesus 

Is 

Constant Comfort In Your Heart 

Because 

He Who Calls You Goes With You! 

Beloved, 

Please Keep Trusting Our Lord Christ!

Be Prayerful! 

Be Peaceful! 

Be Strong! 

And

Be Blessed! 

Go For The Living God!

Go With The Eternal God! 

PRAYER: Remember, Lord, Your Blessed Word!

Lord,

Please Help Me To Think Of Someone

Someone Other Than Myself!

Father, 

Help Me To Have Compassion

Towards Those Who

Think And Act Differently

Regarding The God Of The Bible

The Working Of The Holy Spirit

And 

The Kingship

Of

The Returning Jesus Christ

Who Paid Once

For All Men

Believer Or Nay!

Lord,

You Know That Not Everybody Loves You

Or

Even Care To Know Your Name

So, Please

Help Me Not To Take Offense

And

By So Doing

Hide My Light

And

Thereby Discarding The Opportunity

For The Holy Spirit To Work Through Me

To Bear A Silent Witness

Of

Your Holy Character

And 

Steadfast Love To Dying Humanity!

Father,

I Know In Whom I Believe

And 

I Have Faith That Daily Grows

So Please Grant Me The Grace

That Permits The Light Of New Life

Given By Your Blessed Salvation

To Show By My Living

And

Upon This Believer's Face

In Order That Your Name Be Lifted Up

And 

Not Cast Down In Disgrace!

Remember, Father

Your Blessed Word

That It Is Not Your Desire

That Any Should Perish 

But 

Should To Repentance Come!

I Pray With All Hope

That Your People

Will Stand Firm In The Truth

And

By A Humble, Faithful Witness

Win A Soul Unto You!

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord

Rabid Opposition To Withstand!

Grant Us The Faith

That Will Extend A Helping Hand!

Grant Us Hearts On Fire

For The Lord Christ

And

The Will To Endure

So That We May Survive

The Sure Battles Of The Coming Strife!

Please Help Us

So That Our Hope Will Be Toward Heaven!

Help Us Not To Imbibe Babylon's Wine!

Help Us To Ardently Refuse

The Pharisee's Leaven

Whilst Ever Praising Our Lord

The God Living

Him Holy Divine!

Help Us, Father

To Depend On Only Thee

So That In The Great Day

It Will Be A Lovely King

And 

Not A Dread Judge That We Shall See!

Oh,  Lord

Grant Us Hearts Ever Willing

Ever Able

Ready Always

To Serve Our Almighty God

For

We Do Love You

And 

Bless You!

Hear And Answer Our Prayer 

For In Jesus Christ's Name

We Make Our Petitions 

And 

Plead For The Victory 

Over The Encroaching Darkness!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.
