Don't Be At Odds With Almighty God!




How Does One Pray For A Presumptuous Person 
Who Knowingly, Maliciously, Energetically
Aggressively Indulges In Evil-Doing 
While They Gloatingly Say That This Is Who They Are 
And
That They Can't Change!?! 

Only The Living God
May Say:
I AM That I AM!

The First Thing To Note Is That 
The Only Being That Cannot Change 
Is 
Almighty God 
So That Must Mean That That Person Is Almighty God! 

The Problem With That Assumption, Though
Is 
That Almighty God Does Not Do Evil 
So Whoever This Cannot-Change Person Is
They Are A Fraud ... A False God 
And As Such 
They Are Putting Themselves At Odds With The Eternal God 
Who Has Clearly Stated That 
We Should Have No Others Gods But The Lord! 

Beloved, 

We Must Tread Softly Before The Living God! 

When The Ark Of God Almighty Was Placed In The Temple Of 
The Philistine Fish-God, Dagon
It Came To A Destructive End With It Being Toppled Over 
And 
With Its Head And Hands Severed! 

Who Can Live Without A Head!?! 

How Do We Pray For "Motivated" Evil-Doers!?! 

By The Grace Of The Eternal God
We Pray For Their Deliverance From Destruction And Death 
By Them Humbly Giving 
Their Own Willing Confession And Repentance Of Their Known Sin! 

We Pray That They Will Cooperate With Christ 
By Letting The Holy Spirit Do His Necessary Work In Their Life! 

I Pray To Almighty God That 
None Of Us Are Counted Amongst The Unrepentant 
In The Day Of The Settlement Of Accounts 
With Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Dear Lord, 
Please Help Us To Yield To You
And
Be Wholly Thine! 
AMEN!!! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Repentance Aka The U-Turn Of Life!



Repentance ... Just Like A U-Turn
Is 
Progressive! 
It Is A Change Of Mind 
Caused By A Change Of The Heart 
Which Leads To A Change Of Action Aka Direction! 

Beloved, 

There Was Once A Time When We Would Say That 
A Repentant Sinner Did A 360° Turn! 
This Was Until Wisdom Prevailed 
And 
Understanding Dawned 
And 
Knowledge Spoke Up And Noted That 
A 360° Turn Is A Circle 
Which Meant Doing As One Always Did 
But That 
A 180° Turn Resulted In A Complete Change Of Direction! 

Hallelujah, Wisdom! 

Thank You, Lord, For The Cautionary Tale Which Says: 

In All Your Getting
 Get Understanding! 

We Are Grateful, Lord
For The Knowledge Which Increases! 

Dear Ones, 

Turning Around ... Changing Direction
Without Having Your Chosen Life-Style Turned Upside-Down 
Changes Absolutely Nothing! 

Genuine Repentance Aka Repentance Of The Godly Sort
Means That Friends, Associates, Relationships
Tastes, Likes, Dislikes
And 
Our Reservation For Our Final Port Of Call 
Must Change! 

We Can No Longer Call Upon Christ 
And 
Do Like The Devil! 

Calling Upon Christ For Saving Truth 
And
Deliberately Acting Upon It 
Changes Our Life
Our Life-Style
And 
Our Character! 

Jesus Christ The Lord
Is 
The Truth 
And 
Living By And In The Truth 
Means Living For Our King Jesus! 

Let's Think About It! 
Let's Earnestly Pray About It
And
Let's Wisely Act Upon It 
Because 
Our Personal Future Depends Upon It! 

Peace!



Living For Jesus Christ Now
Is
Living A Life
That
Has Only Just Begun!

Believe The Word Of The Infallible God!




Faith! Feelings! Facts! Failings! Future! 
Hmmm... 

The Lord Jesus Gives To Each Of Us A Daily Gift Of His Faith 
For That Day Alone 
But
Our Feelings Bring Up The Facts 
About Our Known Failings 
And
They Are Grounding Our Hopes Of 
A Future In The Father's House 
As Promised To Us By Our Savior Dear! 

Are You Going To Believe The Word Of God
The Truth That Saves
Or Are You Going To Trust Fraught Feelings 
Known Fickle Aka Flighty!?! 

Beloved

We Have The Infallible Aka Trust-Worthy Word Of 
The Living God Who Never Changes! 

Our God Is Not A Time-Bound Philosopher
A Paper Tiger
A Plaster Saint
Nor A Lying Man Who Changes His Mind 
As Often As He Changes His Garments 
And 
Direction Of Travel! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Set Our Temporal Clocks 
By The Sun Of Righteousness, The Eternal God
In Whom Is No Variableness Or Shadow Of Turning! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
And 
Our Savior Says: 


"Come Unto Me! 
Come And Dine! 
Make Your Home With Me! 
Trust Me And Obey! 
Take My Blessing 
Because
I Have Taken Away Your Blight
Your Sin! 

Your New Life Is In Me! 

You Confessed And Repented Of Your Sin 
And
Because I Am Faithful And Just
I Forgive You! 

Rest In Me And Be Refreshed! 

Hold My Hand! 
By Enduring Faith, Not Fickle Feelings
Be Anchored In Me! 

I Give You Joy!" 

Beloved, 

A Working Faith Can Never Fail 
So I Choose To Accept The Lord's Unspeakable Gift! 

Do You!?! 
Will You!?! 

Peace!

Deliverance Is Just A Prayer Away!







Salvation Has Been Brought Down!
Deliverance 
Is 
Just A Prayer Away! 

The Good Book Doesn't Lie 
And
Neither Does The Living Loving Good God 
About Whom The Good Book Speaks! 

Beloved, 

All Of Almighty God's Promises Are Conditional! 

We Cannot Expect To Call Upon The Lord To Deliver Us 
When We Are Presumptuously Down In Babylon
In Known Confusion
Belly-Up To The Flesh-Pots
Drinking, Swearing
Basely Bowing Before Inanimate Idols 
Taking The Lord's Name In Vain 
Committing Murder With Our Mouths And Hands
Being False-Oath Takers
Coveting The Husbands, Wives, And Property Of Our Neighbors 
And 
Calling The Living God A Liar 
By Doubting His True Promise Of Forgiveness 
For Our Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Our Sin Is Not Bigger Than Almighty God's Capacity 
To Forgive And Cleanse 
So Accept What The Lord Has Already Given 
And
Turn Back From Condemned Babylon! 

Our God Calls: Answer! 
Our God Forgives: Accept! 
Our God Blesses: Believe! 

You're Human: 
Don't Use It As A Cloak For Sin! 

Our God Is Able 
So Rest In His Arms 
On His Word 
According To His Will 
And
In His Prescribed Way! 

Reach For The Extended Hand 
And 
Be At Peace! 

The Lord Knows Your Name
And
He Forgives 
And 
Cleanses You Of Your Sin And Shame 
After You Fulfill Your Obligation! 

Love The Lover Of Your Soul Solely 
And
Proclaim His Great Goodness To You Boldly! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Please Say "I AM Sorry!"







A Heartfelt "I Am Sorry!" 
Is 
The Hardest, Easiest, Lightest ... Weightiest Phrase 
Ever To Be Uttered By A Human! 

Are You So High-Born, Privileged, Proud
Wicked, Ungrateful, Immovable That 
You Can't Say To Another Human: 
"I Am Sorry!?!" 

Not "I Was Sorry BUT ...!" 
Or 
"Maybe One Day I Will Be Sorry!" 
We Are Talking About 
"I Am Truly Sorry Today
For What I Did Then
For What I'm Doing To You Now! 
Please Forgive Me!" 

Beloved, 

Through A Loving Act Of Personal Sacrifice 
For Things That He Did Not Do Or Would Ever Do
Our Dear Savior
The Only One Innocent In The Flesh 
Apologized
Repented
Said:

"I AM Sorry, Father
For Their Sin Against You 
And
Of My Own Free Will
I Take Their Punishment 
In My Person 
To Appease You! 
Please Accept My Offering
Of
Sacrifice By Blood 
And
Let Them Go Free!"
The Father Gave His Son To Us For Eternity
And
Jesus Christ Took Our Sin As His Own! 


Our Blessed Jesus 
Did All Of That For All Of Us ... Individually! 

Jesus Christ ... The Creator ... The King ... Bowed 
So That We Wouldn't Have To Burn! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Don't Be So Rigid In Giving 
And 
Taking Offense That 
You Would Rather Fall Over And Die 
Before 
You Would Sit Down And Feast At The Table That 
Is 
Spread Before You! 

Humble Pie Always Tastes Better Than That 
Dirty Pudding Called Inordinate-Pride! 

"Welcome!" 
Is 
Preferred To "Depart From Me!" 

Please Don't Choke On Pride: 
Mended Fences Keep Expensive Cattle Corralled 
Aka You Can't Cross A Burnt Bridge 
Aka Look Back Ain't Got Nuh Come Back 
To Guh Long Back Ovah Dey! 

Think About It ...

To Be Truly Sorry
 Is
To Sincerely Care! 

Peace!

Accepting And Acting On The Truth Sets The Liar Free!







Are You A Practicing Dissembler 
Aka A Deceitful Person 
Aka A Licensed Liar!?! 

Have You Recently Been Made Aware Of It!?! 
Think! 

In The Day Of Your Sure-To-Come Disaster
Is 
There Anyone Who Will Rush To Your Side
To Answer Your Cry For Comfort And Aid 
Or 
Will There Be ... Instead
Persons Showing Up To Make Sure That 
You Are Ingesting A Generous Mouthful Of 
Scalding Comeuppance Tea 
Aka Serve Yuh Right Flavored Water!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Dear Savior Speaks Urgently About Sowing And Reaping
And 
Casting Our Dry Bread Upon The Waters 
And Thereafter 
Eating Our Fill From The Horn Of Good And Plenty! 

He Speaks Of Those Who Have To Give 
And Lying On Their Pocket, Don't And Are Spiritually Poor
And 
Those Who Have Not To Give 
And Trusting Him, Do And Are Truly Rich
And
He Speaks About The Wages That One Earns For Sin! 

Satan 
Is 
The Father Of Lies! 

Liars Kill 
And 
Killers Lie 
But They ... Unrepentant
Will Never Receive Wings Like The Eagle 
With Which To Heaven To Fly! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Please Don't Speak About Lies To Save Your Face
Lies To Get You Out Of Trouble
Lies As Jests To Amuse The Multitude
Or Lies Told In The Shoot-The-Breeze 
In The "I Have Nothing Better To Do!" Bubble! 

Truth 
Is 
Our Shield ... Our Comfort
All Night And All Day! 
It Is The Gift Of Our Dear Savior-God 
So Please Don't Cast Away Saving Truth
To Gain The Lost Man's N0-Salvation Reward! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous, The King
Is 
The Truth: 
Lovingly Embrace And Peacefully Rest In Him! 
He Knows Your Name And Your Nature
And
He Personally Calls To 
And 
Intimately, Sacrificially, Cares For You! 

Peace!

  
The Peaceful Sleep
Of
The Just
Is
The Gift Of God
To The Heart That Abides
With And In Saving Truth!

HAPPY SABBATH + "I AM SORRY!" WORKS: Get Rid Of The Blame Game!












There's A Major Difference Between 
Forgiving Someone Who Hurt You 
And
Taking Responsibility For Someone Hurting You 
Because
Well, You Were There In The Relationship 
And
Available To Be Hurt 
So, Tough Luck, You Were Hurt!

You Are In A Relationship With Christ Jesus:
Is He Responsible For Your Deliberately Defiant
"I Will Say He Was Present And 'Helped' Me To Sin!"
After He Already Paid For All Your Sin
On The Cross Of Calvary
And
Gave You The Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day
Free-Will and Freedom To Choose
The Will To Do His Good Pleasure
And
The Longing To Do The Good And The  Right!?! 


Isn't It Amazing How The Holy Word Of God Gets Twisted 
To Absolve Disobedient People From Taking Responsibility 
For Their Own Wicked Behavior!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer 
Took The Blame For Our Personal Sins
- Which He Did Not Commit - 
So That By His Innocence Taking Our Guilt 
We May Be Justified Aka Made Right
- With Confession And Repentance - 
When We Are Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

And

Over A Lifetime Of Obedience, Trust
And 
Enduring Faithfulness
Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 
For Holy Use By Our God! 

What Is Your Heartfelt Confession
And
Repentance For Known Sin Worth!?!
Did You Lie When You Took Jesus Christ
As Your Personal Savior, Lord, God, And King!?!

Lucifer Blamed Almighty God 
For Not Allowing Him Into The Counsels Of 
The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit 
And Thus 
Causing The War In Heaven 
And 
The Death Of His Son, Jesus! 

Satan Is Still Using This Nasty Trick Against Us Today 
And 
He Is More Often Than Not Winning This High Stakes Game! 
Please Don't Fall For Folly!


We Serve The God Who Sees Everything
The God Who Knows Everything
The God Who Feels Everything
The God Who Is Always Present
The God Who Is Eternal
The God Who Is Not Mocked
The God Who Is Not A Liar
The God Who Is Righteous
The God Who Pays
What
Each
Person
Is
Owed
For The Work He Diligently Performed!
 

We Are Each Responsible For Our Own Wickedness 
So Don't Even Blame Satan: 
He Can't Make You Do Anything! 

And

Don't Blame The Living God: 
Jesus Christ Already Paid Your Bill 
So Take The Gift! 
Do Right! 

If You Don't Confess
And
If You Don't Repent
You Are On Your Own
Before The Judge Of All Flesh!

Our Lying Lusting 
Is 
Like A Locked Vice-Grip: 
Lose The Lust 
And 
Get Rid Of The Blame Game! 

Peace!


Jesus Christ Saves: 
"I Am Sorry!"
Works 24/7!

YOU'RE FORGIVEN: Forgive Yourself




 

We Would All Do Well To Understand That 
When We Are Accepted Into The Family Of 
The Eternal God Known Holy
Our Pasts As Whore, Whore-Monger
Murderer, Liar
Robber, Sodomite
Instigator Of Strife, War-Monger
Idolator Or Agent Of Satan
No Longer Has Relevance! 

Unlike Humans
And 
Satan And His Hell-Bound Hoard
Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life
The King Of Love
Having Fully Accepted Our Confession And Repentance
And 
Having Cast Our Repented-Of Sins
Into The Depths Of The Sea
Will Never Reap Up Our "Old Deads"
When We Forget Ourselves 
And 
Act Like The Back-End Of A Runaway Horse! 

Since The Lord Forgives Us Our Trespasses
Please Do Not Ever Be So Wicked To Yourself 
Or 
So Disrespectful To Your Maker As To Utter The Words 
"I Can't Forgive Myself!" 
Or
Permit The Accuser Of The Brethren, Satan
To Cause You To Doubt The Lord 
And 
His Holy Word 
And
His Precious Promise Of A Future 
And 
The Expected End Of A Home 
In The Father's House Of Love! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Shepherd Of Rest
Is 
The Light Of The World: 
Stay Safe In The Light 
And 
Follow The Lord Where He Safely Leads You! 

Please Don't Ever Doubt The Truth! 

Almighty God's Gift Of Forgiveness
Is
Available, Full, And Free: 
Pray! 
Confess! 
Repent! 
Walk Holy! 
Forgive Yourself 
And
Choose To Forgive Others 
And
Live Free! 

Peace!

The Spirit Of Unforgiveness!?!







Forgiveness 
Is 
A Healing Balm 
Given To Us Through Jesus Christ Our Lord
The Holy Son Of God 
And 
The Blessed-Forever Son Of Man! 

Upon Our Personal Request
The Lord Of Life Personally Forgives Us Of Our Sin 
But
We Must Never Forget Aka Always Remember That 
The Lord God Almighty Forgives Us 
Only As We Forgive Others Who Have Wronged Us! 

Beloved, 

The Spirit Of Unforgiveness 
Is 
Demonic In Its Mendacity Aka Untruthfulness 
And 
Inevitably Leads To All Manner Of 
Unpleasant Health Outcomes! 

Forgiveness 
Is 
Help Which Heals 
And
Inner Peace 
Is 
A Balm Which Yields Rest! 

Rich Or Poor
Young Or Old
Hapless Or Helpless
An Unforgiving Spirit Yields For Its Bearer 
A Heart That Does Not Hold Hope 
And
If Left Unrepented
Renders That Person No Better Than The Animal 
For Whom Jesus Christ Did Not Suffer And Die! 

The Word Of The Lord
Does Not Lie! 

Our Father Is In Heaven Seeing All Things: 
He Knows The Thoughts 
And 
The Intents Of Our Hearts! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Let Us Look At The Lord's Prayer With New Eyes Today 
And 
Every Day 
And
Consider The Word Aka The Truth That Saves
To Be Good For All That Ails Us
Body, Mind, And Spirit! 

The Lord Is Our Shepherd 
And 
He Leads Us Beside Still Waters 
And
He Restores Our Souls! 
Let Us, Therefore, Totally Rest In Him 
And 
Be Completely Refreshed!

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Free-Will And Freedom Of Choice Are Treasures!








Freedom To Exercise Faith By Free-Will 
Is 
To Be Treasured! 

We, All, Need To Realize That 
Our Creator Gave Us Total Control Of 
Our Own Free-Will That 
No One May Usurp, Hijack Or Take Away! 

Along With Our Free-Will 
Is 
Accountability For Our Choices! 

Along With Accountability 
Is 
The Certain Knowledge That 
There Is Only One Way 
To Have Someone Else Take Responsibility 
And
Accept Punishment For Our Personal Sin! 

We Must, By Free-Will, Freely Choose 
To Give Our Free-Will Back To The Lord 
Through Confession Of And Repentance For Sin 
And
Willingly Choosing Our Creator, Jesus Christ The Lord
As Our Everlasting Portion
And
We Must Daily Choose 
To Walk In Willing
          Faith-First
                    Enduring 
                              Obedience Before Him! 

Sinners Are Born! 
Repentance Comes From Confessing Sinners! 
Confessing 
And 
Repenting Sinners Are Free-Will-Exercising Saints 
Who, By Free Choice, Have And Are Tasting 
And 
Seeing That The Lord Is Good 
And
Are Deliberately Turned From Sin Unto Salvation! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Won't Ever Force You To Be A Saint 
And
Satan Can't Ever Force You To Be A Sinner! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Working Faith
Free-Will
Freedom To Choose
And
Love For The Lord 
Lovingly Abide Together ... By Our Personal Choice! 

Free-Will Without Freedom To Choose 
Is 
A Lie: 
The Lord Of Life Can't Lie 
So Dare And Exercise Faith In His Living Word Today! 
Peace!

Our Doings Are Going To Be Our Own Chastisers!?!







If You've Not Heard It Before, Hear It Now: 
There Is No Future For The Wicked And Their Wickedness
Nor For Sinners And Sin! 

The Author Of Sin, Evil And Wickedness Shall Perish 
Along With His Prized Child 
And 
All Those Persons Who Unwisely Believe That 
Their Felt Needs Supercede Doing 
The Divine Will Of The Holy God! 

Beloved, 

Please Consider That Every Word Of God 
Is 
Pure And True 
And
When The Lord Clearly Says That 
Our Doings Are Going To Be Our Own Chastisers
We Would Do Well To Tremble 
And 
Hold Our Maker, Savior, Redeemer 
And
Judge In Godly Fear Aka Awe! 

The Lord Has Promised That 
Sin Shall Not Rise Up A Second Time 
And
If Sin, Encompassing Evil And Wickedness, Has No Future
Would It Not Be Eternally Profitable To Us 
Who Have Taken The Lord Christ As Our Everlasting Portion 
To Choose To Follow After Christ 
And 
His Righteousness 
And
Give Self, Satan, Sin, Evil, And Wickedness 
The Olde Heave Ho Aka "Get Lost, Be Gone, Go Away!?!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Do Not Pet And Feed The Sin In Your Life
Because 
It Will Sting You Like A Serpent
Gore You Like A Wild Hog
Peck You Like A Vulture
And 
Rip You To Shreds Like A Raging, Hungry Lion! 

Jesus Christ The King Saves: 
Confess Your Known Sin
Repent Aka Forsake Your Sin 
And
Choose To Be Blessed And Saved! 


Peace With The Lord Christ
Is
Possible
In
This Dark World Of Sin!

There Is No Reason For Sin!







We Would All Do Well 
To Understand, Accept
And 
Remember That 
There Is No Little Sin, Big Sin, Or Trivial Sin! 

We Will Bless Ourselves By Confession And Repentance 
Aka Forsaking Sin When We Take To Heart The Fact That 
The Lord Our Righteousness Despises Both Hereditary Sins 
Aka Born-With Tendencies To Particular Sins 
And
Cultivated Sin Aka Sin Practiced By Willful Desire! 

Neither Birth 
Nor Lustful, Hateful Desires
Need ... Nor Want 
Are Excuses For Indulging In Known Sin! 

Beloved, 

Let Us All Be Cautioned And Reminded That 
There Is No Reason To Sin 
And
There Is No Excuse For Sin! 

The Act Of Sinning Aka The Transgressing Of 
The Law Of Almighty God 
Is 
Straight-up Lawlessness! 

When We Indulge In Lawlessness 
Which Is Much The Same As Saying Like The Fool That 
There Is No God
We, In Willful Defiance Of The First Commandment
Make Ourselves God 
And 
"Give" Ourselves Life And Death Power 
Over Our Brethren And Companions In This Life! 

We All Have One Life To Live
One Hell To Avoid 
And
One Heaven To Gain! 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Living God 
By And Through Whom You Live 
And 
Breathe 
And 
Are Permitted To Live Each Day! 

If You Are Able To Keep Yourself Alive 
And 
Will Enter Heaven Under Your Own Steam
Do As You Please! 

If You Need Jesus Christ To Save You
Humble Yourself 
And
Daily Choose To Do What Is Good And Right: 
Bountiful Blessings Await You! 

Peace!
