REJOICING: Praying And Praising!

Let's Investigate Rejoicing 

Aka Praying And Praising! 

Praying Lifts Us Up To Our Eternal God 

And

Praise In Song 

Is 

A Defence Against Despair And Discouragement! 

Satan The Damned Poisonously Hates Praying And Praising

And

For This Reason

And

The Fact That Our Dear Savior Asks Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And

To Offer Unfeigned Praise Over His Glorious Works And Eternal Majesty 

Is 

Why We Should Hungrily, Thirstily, Unfailingly Indulge! 

Within Praying Is A Pry Bar 

To Get Us Away From Sin

And

To Walk Wisely In The Gifted Free-To-All Salvation! 

Within Praising Is Raising

A Pin

And

A Ping! 

When The Sharp Pin Of 

Despondency, Despair, And Discouragement Dig Into You

And 

You Feel That Ping Of Hurt On Your Nerves

You Know That It Is Time 

To Start Raising Your Head, Heart, And Voice 

As You Bless God 

While Praising Him For Another Reason To Believe His Word

Trust His Promises

And 

To Damn That Satan 

By Working Your Day's Faith To A Nubbin ... And To Death! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Choose This Day To Look For Blessings

And 

For Reasons For Praying And Praising

And 

Let Us Bless Almighty God For Our Privilege

Our Invitation

To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace! 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Jesus, For The Purchased Peace! 

I Give You Thanks And Praise

For My Blessings Already Experienced 

And

Those Even Now On The Way!

AMEN!!!

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

Life May Leave You With Nothing

But

With Jesus Christ

As Your Eternal Portion

You Will Have Everything!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: The Year Is New And God's Word Remains True!

Father! 

My God In Heaven!

Holy Is Your Name! 

I Sincerely Beseech You To Help Me To Remain Faithful 

So That You Will Always Be Father To, And Holy For, Me! 

May You Thus Be For All Who Are Committed 

To The Cause Of Jesus Christ! 

I Have No Known Reason To Doubt You Or Your Word 

And By Your Saving Grace, I Plead, Lord, That 

The Day Will Never Come 

When I Know Who For, What With, Where, Which Way

And When I Will Choose To Betray My Savior For Comfort And Cash 

Which Are Mere Illusions 

In The Eternal Scheme Of Things! 

It Is My Soul's Desire To: 

H ave A Regular Talk With My Jesus

A ppreciate That I Am Truly Blessed

P ray For Friends And Enemies

P ut My Spiritual House In Order

Y ield Not To Temptation

N ever Depart From The Savior's Side 

E ncourage Others On Their Journey To Joy

W atch, Work, And Wait For The Great Day

Y ield My Will To My Savior

E ndure All Things For My Lord

A llow The Holy Spirit To Work

R ejoice That The Lord Christ Is The King! 

In The Name That Is Above All Names

The Only Name By Which We Are Saved

I Pray For The Brethren The World Around 

Who Are Seeking For, And Coming To, Faith That 

Their Heart's Desire Will Be Met 

While It Is Yet Day! 

Remind Us That Our Happiness

Is Only Found In The Lord Jesus Christ

And Bless Us To Find Our Contentment In Him!

Please Protect, Provide For, Correct

And Direct Us All Who Are Willing 

On The Narrow Way Home! 

Remember Us All In Your Great Mercy As Only You Are Able 

For We Love You More Than Life Itself! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!!!

NEW BIRTH: Without The Lord Christ!?!

Choosing To Live Life

Without The Lord Christ In It

Is Like Being Alive

Without Having The Breath Of Life!

Brethren,

Please Do Not Say Nothing!
Just Listen To This Remark
And
Ponder It Deep In Your Heart
And
Plead With The Almighty God
For The Leading Of His Holy Spirit
To Guide You Into All, Aka Absolute, Truth!
Let The Word Of God Dwell Within You Richly
If
It Is Your Desire To Have A Peaceful, Contented, Life!

She Said She Needed A New Birth

So She Went To The Plastic Surgeon

And Had Him Apply

His Devilish Artistry

To Give Her The Facsimile Of

The Well-Publicized Face

Of

A Celebrity!

Serious Soul Searching ...

How Often Have We Forgotten
Where Our Daily Blessings Come From!?!
How Often Have We Forgotten To Remember
That Without The Lord Christ
Our Blessings Would Number None!?!

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not A Good Look Upon A Christian
Neither Offering Thanks To The World
When It Belongs To The Lord
So Let Us This Day Effect An Attitude Adjustment
And
Deny The Liar Who Wants What Is Not His To Receive
And
Lift Up The Lord 
Without Whom We Wouldn't Be Able Even To Sneeze!

All Good Gifts ... All Blessings
Come From Our Eternal God!
Nothing Good That We Receive
Will Ever Come From The World
Nor  From The God-Fraud
So When We're Considering
To Whom To Give Glory, Honor And Praise
Look Only Unto Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Holy God Whom We Should Graciously Laud
And 
A Loving Song Of Rejoicing To His Name
For His Gifts Of Grace
-  Unmerited Favor Showered Upon Us -
Generously, Lovingly, Joyfully, Thankfully, Humbly, Raise!

The Living, Holy, Saving, Word

Of

Jesus Christ The King

Our Soon-Returning Savior And Lord

The Judge Of All Flesh!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, I Shall Rejoice!

By Faith, Father
I Come Before You
Believing
Hoping Always A Blessing To Receive
Thankful 

That You Are On Heaven's Great White Throne
Knowing 

That Your Love For Me
Will Never Leave Me To Walk This Life Alone!

Help Us, Dear Father
Who Are Christians Called
To Be Christians Who Willingly Answer
The Call To Righteousness
The Call To Service
The Call To Faith
The Call To Obedience
The Call To Depart Sin
And The Ways Of Satan
That Eternal Disgrace
And
To Love As The Lord Loves
Doing All To Bless Others
Ignoring The Naysayers
So That We May Acquire The Character Of Christ
And Be Found Fit
To Inhabit That Heavenly Paradise!

Pity Us, Father
And Help Us Not To Look Inward
Dwelling On Self 

And The Published Personal Satisfaction
But To Look Up To The Lord Christ
The Author And Finisher Of Our Professed Faith
So That We May Make The Treacherous Journey
Safely And Securely
Comforted And Protected
Blessed And Believing
To The Beautiful Land Of Peace!
Grant Us Ever Increasing Faith!

Please Help Us, Father
To Realize And Accept
That This Dying World Is Not Our Home;
That It Is A School To Learn Christ;
A Hospital Operated By The Great Physician 

Who Heals All Who Believe And Trust;
A Garbage Disposal To Rid Ourselves Of
The Dross Of Sin;
A Way Station To Stock Up
On Those Things Profitable
On Those Things Useful
Those Things That Bless And Not Curse

And
To Take On Jesus Christ
Inviting The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
Who Will Lead Us Into All Truth
Teaching
Guiding
Chiding Us
Ever Blessing And Equipping Us
Accompanying Us So That We Do Not Journey
To Salvation Alone!

Thank You, Father
For The Living Word
That Compass, Road Map
Song Book, Pillow
That River Stocked With Sweet Water
Our Parching Thirst To Quench;
That Supermarket Filled To Overflowing
With Much Food For Thought;
That Gold Mine
Replete With Hid Treasure Waiting For Ready Discovery;
That Book Of Innumerable Blessings
Impossible To Exhaust;
That Blessing That Shows The Way Of The Cross
That Reveals The Secret Of How Not To 

Suffer Eternal Loss!

Thank You, Father
For Goodness
For Grace
For Truth
For Faith
For Help And Healing
For The Chastisements We Hate
But Which Are So Necessary
If We Are To Enter, By Right
The Holy City's Marked-Character Gates!

Father,
I Confess My Known Sins
And
I Sincerely Repent!
Please Forgive Me!
Please Cleanse Me Of All Unrighteousness
And
Make Me Whole
A Vessel Useful
A Pillar Strong
A Jewel Precious
Awaiting My Lord, My God
My Savior, My Redeemer
My Only King!

I Need You, Lord
Today
And If Tomorrow, Not Promised, Comes
By Your Certain Grace
I Will Need You Again!
Thank You For The Extended Hand! 

Thank You For Exposing Your Heart!
Thank You For Executing The Successful
Mission
Which Saw The Lord Christ Sacrificing
His Life For Mine!
Thank You For The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit!

Thank You For The Good Influence 

And Sure Protection Of The Holy Angels!
Who Minister To Us Who Are The Inheritors Of 

The Purchased Salvation!

I Bless You, Father
And
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Help Me Not To Indulge In Trifles
And Not To Bring Shame To Your Perfect Name! 

I Freely Give To You My Gift Of Worship
My Free Will And My Choice
And
I Look Forward With Pleasurable Anticipation
To The Great Coming
When
In Your Glorious Presence
With The Saints Of All The Ages
In Full Voice
I Shall Rejoice!

Thank You For Hearing
And For Answering My Prayer
For I Pray In The Name Of The Beloved Son
The Lord Jesus Christ!
I Love You!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Believe The Word Of The Lord!

The Almighty God Moves 
In Mysterious Ways
His Wonders To Perform
AND
I Am A Human Being
A Creature Of Flesh
So
I Will Not Walk Through This Life
Behaving Like
A Whirling, Swirling, Dervish!
I, With Christ, Take My Stand!

With This Vile Human Heart
I Believe That
The Word Of God Is True!
I Believe That 
The Lord Can Use Every Human
AND
That Includes Me And You!

Because I Disagree A Person
Or Care Not For One's Stance
Or Actions
In The World
Why Would I
Why Should I 
Wish
For That Person's Demise
When
I Can Pray To God Almighty
AND ASK
That That Human
Permit Themselves
By God's Will
To Be Utilized
AND
Some Other Poor Souls Bless?!

Why Would I 
Why Should I
Pray
For A Human Being's Life To Be A Failure
When
I Could Pray For That Soul
AND ASK
The Almighty God
To Make A Plain Way
So That That Person Will Ask
For The Lord Christ
To Become 
Said Person's Personal Savior
AND
Thereby Bless What Was A Dark Life
With Heaven's Holy Favor?!

The Lord
Does Not Hear
The Evil Prayers That Men Utter
AND
Neither Does He Uphold Men
In The Evil That They Utilize Like 
Premium Creamery Butter!

So ...

With That Being Said
Let Us Behave Like Christ's Christians Would
Remembering The Story Of Queen Esther
AND
Faithful Mordecai
AND
Evil Haman
Who Believed That He Was By The Throne 
Blindly Blessed
Even Unto Extreme Excess!

The Unexpected Me
The Unthought Of You
Are Perhaps Called
For A Time Such As This
To Save Some Innocent
From Some Evil
About Which
Onlookers Had Never Considered
Or Even Spared A Thought!

Perhaps There Is A Gallows
Prepared For An Innocent Soul
In Advance
AND
By God's Providence
That Same Gallows
Will Run
For The Perpetrator Perchance!

Remember ...

That It Says In God's Word
That When You Dig A Grave For Another
You May As Well Dig Two
For The Grave That You Dig For Your Brother
Is The Grave That Will Perfectly Fit
YOU!

God Rules
In The Affairs Of Men!
Like It Or Not
Without God
No Human Can Do Anything
Stand Sit Nor Call!
So
With This In Mind
Trust The Almighty God
To Do His Do
AND
By The Grace Of God
And Earth-Annihilating Rain
Ordered Not To Fall
We Can Plainly See That All
In The Realm Of Man
Is Strutting Along Nicely
According To The Prophetic Clock's Call!

The Lord In Zion Reigneth

So

Let Your Heart Be Calm

And

Let The Peace Of God

Abide In You Richly

And

In Jesus Christ's Faith

Rejoice!

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

Jesus Christ The Righteous

The Prince Of Peace

IS

Coming Soon!

PRAYER: Father, I Have Learned ...!

Father,

I Have Learned

- And Indeed It Is So -

That As Your Living Word Says

There Is No Profit

No Blessing

In Sin

In Living A Sinful Life

In Doing Sinful Things

For

Therein Is The Way Of Cruel Strife!

With A Heart Contrite

And

A Spirit Broken

I Confess

And

I Repent, Lord

So Please Keep Me

To Do Battle In The Good Fight

For I Now

- In The Faith Of My Jesus -

Deny The Liar

And

His Gutter-Walking Ways

And

I Look Up

For I Now Truly Know

From Whom My Help Comes -

The Ancient Of Days!

Father,

I Am Pleading!

Help Me To Not Look Back!

Help Me To Not Be Like

Mrs. Lot

For

I Have No Desire

To Suffer The Eternal Blot!

I Desire To See The Light

He Who Gives Life

In Peace

And 

In Raptures

When He Breaks The Clouds In The East!

I Desire To Be Glorified

To Be Clothed In Heaven's Garments Of White

And

I Desire To Rise Up

To Meet My Lord And My God

And

With All The Redeemed Of God

And 

With Angelic Companions

To Make The One-Way Flight!

Lord,

I Desire The New Name

The True Gold Crown

The Overcomers' Victory Palm

And

I Desire To Possess The Instrument Of Praise

That Golden Harp

And

Lord, Have Mercy

I Do Desire To Hear:

"My Child! Well Done!

Take This Your Place!"

Father,

Only You Can Bless Me!

Only The Holy Spirit Can Keep!

On Jesus Can Plead For Me

And

Only Holy Angels

- At Your Command -

Can Ever Protect Me!

I Give You Praise!

Grant Me, Lord

The Dailies - Grace

Faith, Mercy

And

Personal Over-Sin Victory

And

Please, Dear Father

Help Me To Sing Your Name

Like A Joyful Canary

Whenever That Decimating Fraud

In All His Iterations

Against Me

Does Approach!

Lord,

Help Me

So That Against Me

He Had Nothing About Which To Gloat!

Father,

I Willingly Give My Self To You

And

Also My Will

And

My Way

And

I, In Full Control

Of All My Faculties

Say:

In Jesus' Name

Lead The Way!

Lead The Way!

I Love You!

I Bless You!

In The Hope Of The Promises

- With Your Rich Blessing -

I Shall Stand

For

In Denying That Gross Liar

I Also Reject The Traditions 

Of Fallen Hell-bent And Bound Man!

I Give You All My Praise

And

All My Worship

In The Name Of Him

Who Shall Soon

Put In His Appearance - Jesus The Christ!

AMEN!

Lord, I Am Rejoicing In Thee!

THE LIVING GOD: Fact - Not Fable!

I Thank You, Lord
For Favor!
I Thank You, Lord
For Faith!
I Thank You, Lord
For The Grace 

AND

The Coming Glory
The Hope For Which

Having Mere Men's Things
Cannot Erase!

Brethren,
When Your God
Has The Answer
To Your Problem
Long Before Your Problem
Is Before Your Eyes
Then It Is

That You Knowingly Recognise
That Your God Is Big
Big Enough
Big ... AND Then Some
Sufficient To The Cause
AND
Infinitely Able
AND
- Blessedly -
No Fable!

Such Is The Mighty God
That Many Of Us Nonchalantly Serve
Often Passing Him By

On The Street Curb
Willing Only To Give Him His Props
When
- By Life -
We Have Been Duly Ill-Served!

Lord Knows  ... I Have Been Guilty
BUT
It Is The Desire Of My Heart
From Henceforth
To Be Counted Amongst The Innocents
Who Believe
AND
Know 

- By The Experience That Shows
As Faith Works And Love Grows -
That  Our God
Is No Theory
But The True Power
That Holds Out His Hand
Ready, Willing 

AND

Supremely Able
To Grab Ahold Of The Hand
That Belongs To The Soul
Singing The Forever Psalm  ...

He's Able!

He's A Wonder!

He's A Mystery!

And

He Knows My Name

And

I Can Approach Him

In The Name

Of Him Who Died

To Absolve Me

Of Eternal Shame!

That, My Friends ...

Is No Vain ClaimAND

That 

Is Why
- In Triumph -
I Shall Proclaim:

Give Me My Lord Jesus

On Whom

I Am Learning To Lean

And To Whom I Cleave

As Playing With Sin

I - Disgusted - Leave!

Our Almighty God

Is Worthy  ... To Be Praised
TodayAND
All Of Our Days
For
The Promise Is To Those Who BelieveAND
Who Will Be Rejoicing
Bringing In Their Sheaves!

I Love You, Lord

Tune Up My Heart

And

Help Me

To Ever Sing Unto You

Most Glorious Praise!

**=-**-=**=-**-=**

Take A Moment ...!

Stand Up And See ...!

The Living God Is Real ...!

God Is Always Looking ...!

God Is Always Looking Out For Me ...!

God Is Always Looking Out For Thee ...!

PRAYER: Lord, Help My Mustard Seed Grow

Help Me Lord,  To Hear Your Voice!

Help Me Lord, In You To Rejoice!

Help To Stand Firm In Your Faith

And Not Run Around

Singing In Sin-Strained

Pitiful Voice!

I Pray, Lord

That My Faith Will Stand

Though Satan Rattles My Bones!

Help Me To Stand Firm

Even As Satan Tries To Sift Me As Wheat And Sand!

Help Me To Be Faithful

Kind

Honest And True

And,  Lord

Help Me

To Keep My Eyes Heart

Fixed

And Focused On You!

Lord, My Faith Has Found Its Resting Place

In Christ Who Died For Me

I Cannot Least Count His Sacrifice

Least Jesus Christ Should Least Count Me!

I Have A Speck Of Mustard Seed!

Dear Lord, Please Help It To Grow!

Protect It From Root Rot

And Barrenness

And From Foraging Animals' Need

And The Strangling Tares That Satan Sows!

Lord,  Help My Seed

To Grow And Grow

To Fill Up My Soul

And Not For A Pappy Show

But To Prove

That I Am Not Self Deceiving

And That I Am Not

Another Gospel Receiving!

Have Mercy, Lord!

Help Me To Honor

Love

Trust You And Obey

And Help Me No More

With Sin To Play!

Keep Me Safe

Each And Every Day

For I Know That My Safety Is In You

And I Don't Want It Any Other Way

For I Will To Be True

To Only You!

AMEN
