VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Give All Your Anxiety To Christ Jesus!

 












Worry Is A Waster! 
Worry Is A Fraud! 
Worry Is A Lie Of The Devil To Place A Stout Curtain 
Between Me And Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Worry Is A Wanderer! 
Worry Is A Cheat! 
Worry Is Vehicle Willing To Transport Me 
To Avidly Suckle Anxiety's Ample Teats! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Listen Carefully To Me! 
We Are Not To Take The Path Of Least Resistance 
And 
Rock Back And Forth 
And 
Suck On Our Thumbs
Foregoing Rinse
But 
Lauding Repeat! 

Let's Get To The Altar Of Grace And Praise! 
Let's Access The Mercy Seat 
And 
Hallow The Ancient Of Days! 

Things May Look Hard 
And You May Be Hurting A Lot 
But Know For A Fact That Hurt-A-Lot Is Preferrable 
To Suffering The No-Eternal Life Blot! 

Trust The Lord Whom You Know To Be True! 
Resist The Devil And He Will Flee From You! 
Lean On The Lord 
And 
Away From The God-Fraud 
And 
By Going Through The Fiery Trials Of This Life 
With Intact Faith And Trust 
In Our Forever Faithful, Promise-Keeping Friend
You, Me, We, Will Arrive Safely 
To Spend Eternity With Jesus Christ The Lord Our God
The Word That Performs
The Truth That Saves! 

Peace!

RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE: No Need To Fear The Feisty Fiend!







The Lord Jesus Christ Has Not Given To Us 
The Malevolent Spirit Of Fear  
So, Therefore
It Must Be A Putrid Package From The Damned Devil! 

Ungodly Fear Is A Demonic Device: 
The Perfect Love Of The Holy God 
Casts Out Ungodly Fear! 

Ungodly Fear Causes Hope To Decamp: 
Saving Faith Uses Hope As A Lamp 
To Light The Way To The Path That 
Keeps One Within The Borders Of 
The Camp Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Beloved, 

There Is A Spiritual Battle Being Waged For Ownership
Aka Possession Of
Aka Control Of
Your Free-To-Choose Mind! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Daily, Graciously, Gives To Each Of Us 
A Measure Of His Unfailing Faith 
To Be Aggressively Worked 
To Get Us Through That Day ... Alone! 

Are You Being Evilly Inspired 
To Do Wrong Through Satanic Fear 
Or
Are You Using Your God-Given
Lovingly-Provided  Equipment 
To Do The Good And The Right!?! 

We Cannot Serve Two Masters! 

We Must Not Use Faith Fretfully! 

We Must ... Through Fervent Prayer
Choose To Use Our Daily Gift Of Daily Faith 
To Force Fear To Flee From Us! 

Resistance Is Not Futile! 

Since Resisting The Devil 
By The Word Of God
Through The Grace Of God
Makes Him Flee
Resisting His Instrument Of Torture 
By Using Your Shield Of Faith 
Should Make Ungodly Fear Likewise Flee! 

Brethren, Greatly Beloved

Please Have Godly Fear For The Gracious Father
And 
Most Assuredly Know That
All Will Be Well! 

Peace!

LIFE HAS SNAKES: Choose Obedience Over Repentance!



 





The Lord Did Not Promise Us All-Day, Every-Day
Sunny Blue Skies
Roses-No Thorns
Gluttonous Feasts
No Work
No Sorrow
Fuzzy Sheep,
And 
No Wolves! 
Life Has Snakes! 

The Lord God Almighty Has Promised That 
Resisting Satan 
Is 
Profitable To Us! 

The Lord God Omnipotent 
Has Also Promised Us A ... The ... Comforter 
And
To Be With Us Always! 

Learn And Live ...

The Garden Of Eden Had A Beautiful Snake 
And
The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil 
Which Was To Be Avoided 
But
Was The Only Place That 
The Adversary Of Souls 
- The Piercing Serpent - 
Satan The Damned
Could Tempt Adam And Eve! 

Avoiding That Tree 
Was The Small Test Of Faith 
And 
Allegiance To The Creator-God! 

Beloved, 

The Tree Of Life ... Eternal Life
Was Also In The Garden
And
Easily Accessible 
And 
Free, Free, Free 
To Eagerly Eat From At Will 
And 
Be Ever Blessed! 

Don't Be Smart, Be Wise... 

Our Lives Are According To The Choices We Make: 
Choose Obedience Over Repentance! 

As Long As We Choose To Eat From The Tree Of Life
- The Word Of God - 
And 
Meet With The Lord In The Cool Of The Day Aka In Prayer 
And
Eagerly Call For 
And
Accept 
And
Allow Ourselves To Be Comforted 
And 
Taught By The Comforter
- The Holy Spirit Of Truth - 
Satan Can Have No Part In Us! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Forcefully Deny Each And Every One Of 
Our Common-To-All Temptations 
The Very First Time They Appear 
And 
Know Of A Surety That
You Will See Them No More! 

Good News ...

The Tree Of Life 
Is 
Still Here For Us: 
Gladly Eat Of 
And 
Ardently Trust 
The Living, Eternal, Faithful Word Of 
The Living God Of Glory Who Gives Grace
And
Shows Us Mercy! 
Live To Live ... Again!



Peace Cannot Be Bought!
Peace
Is
God's Personal Gift To Us!

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home!







No Matter What Is Visibly, Physically
Emotionally
Financially, Spiritually, Testing You, Beloved
Keep Your Eyes, Your Heart 
Your Hands 
And 
Your Hopes 
Firmly Fixed On The Lord Jesus 
Who, Alone, Knows The End From The Beginning 
And 
Is With Us At All Points In Between! 

Remember That Jesus Also Daily Gives Us The Faith 
To Have Faith In Him 
For Each Day That We Live In This Vale Of Tears 
Experiencing The Myriad Things That 
Try Our Purchased, Precious, Souls! 

Never Forget Whose Child You Are! 
Keep Uppermost In Your Thoughts 
The Destination To Which You Are Headed! 
Be Vigilant To Resist The Enemy Of Your Soul 

And

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Remind Yourself That Getting Home 
Is 
Worth Whatever We Must Pay For Our Passage 
And 
Know That That Cost Is Cheap!
 
Almighty God ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 
Gave His Best ... His All ... To Grant Us This Privilege 
So Let No Created Being
Seen Or Unseen
Known Or Unknown 
Rob You Of The Unspeakable Gift
Eternal Life In The Paradise Of God! 


Think About Going Home: 
Constantly Commune With Christ! 

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

Knowingly Experiencing
The Love Of Jesus Christ
Is
Sweet Peace
For The Longing Heart!

Rejoice In The Lord ... Always!




Almighty God Gives!
Almighty God Takes Away!
Blessed Is The Name Of The Lord!


Father,
We Beseech You
Please Let Your Holy Spirit
Our Crying Souls Fill
So That In Victory
- Over Sin Death And Hell -
In The Great Day Of Abundance
- Glorying In Your Majesty -
Our Then Immortal Spirits
Shall Forever Thrill!
AMEN.


Brethren,
Let's Talk About Joy And Rejoicing
AND
How To Rejoice 
AND
Be Joyful In The Lord Jesus!

First Step:
Be Dissatisfied Living In Sin
AND
Find Contentment In Christ!

Step Two:
Choose Jesus Christ For Joy!

Step Three:
Be Joyful In The Lord!
It Is A Commandment: Obey It!

But How Can I Possibly Rejoice
When I Don't Feel Happy?! 

What Is There To Rejoice Over?! 
Death, Destruction, Carnage 
And Chaos Are Everywhere!

Are You Christians?!

Sure Are, And Glad Of It! 

So What's With The Gloomy Gus Routine?!

How Can We Be Happy
When All The World Is Boldly Wicked Yet ... Sad?!
How Can We Be Joyful
When Satan For Sinners Is Gold
And The Living God Is As A Garment
Useless, Rejected And Old?!

Indulge Me For A Moment
As I Tell You A Truth!
Your "Feelings" About The Situation
Are Not Important!
Is Not Your Faith Anchored In The Holy God?!

We Love The Lord, But ...! 

Let Me Stop You Right There!
"We Love The Lord, But ..."
Is Goat Herd Talk!

How About Saying
With Conviction
"God Loves Us, And ...!?!"

Have You Forgotten:

Rejoice Evermore!
Heaven Is The Storehouse!
Heaven Is Real!
The Lord Will Rejoice Over Us With Singing!
The Lord Has A Thousand Ways To Save ...! 

... I Only Need One!

How Does One Rejoice
When One's Heart Is Breaking?!
How Does One Rejoice
When Peace Of Mind Has The Soul Forsaken?!

Do Christians Live On Fact Or Feeling?!
Is Jesus Christ Real?! 
Shouldn't His Word Supercede What Has You Feeling?!
Do You Trust Truth?!
Are You Living Lie
Or Will You Let The Lord Of Life
Be Your Anchor
AND
In His Eternal Love 
AND
Sure Provision
Be Ever Moored And Satisfied?! 

Let's Get Real Here, Brethren!
The Clock Is Ticking!
Satan Knows It Is Almost Time
For His Final Licking
So He Is Working Overtime
To Turn The Lord's People Into Chickens!

Is He Ever!

Come On, Brethren!
It Is Time To Stiffen Our Spines
In Faith
AND
For Faith 
- Our Living Faith -
In Christ Jesus
Let's Just Set Self Aside
AND
Put The Savior In Front 
Where He Belongs
AND
Look Up
AND
Choose 
- By Working Faith -
To Obey The Written Commands:


  • Rejoice Evermore!
  • Pray Without Ceasing!
  • Bless The Lord! 
  • Love One Another! 
  • Be Joyful In The Lord!
  • Cast Your Cares On The Lord! 
  • Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
  • Walk Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly!
  • Deny Self!
  • Resist The Devil!
  • Trust In The Lord With All Your Strength!
  • Wait On The Lord!
  • Lean Not To Temptation!
  • Rejoice With Those Who Rejoice
AND

While We're At It ...

... Sing A New Song?!

Yes!!
And Remember That
ThatThe Lord Of Creation
Is Our Shepherd
AND
He Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Praise God From Whom all Blessing Flow!

You Know
I Had Gotten Side-Tracked There For A Moment!

Me, Too!

We Must Keep Our Eyes On Our Jesus!

He's Able And Available!

AMEN!!!

The Sealed And Settled
Eternal Word
Of
Almighty God!

In The Way Of Man

For His Correction, Direction And Protection
AND
So That He Cannot Say That
He Was Not So Informed!

Man May Choose To Endure
OR
He May, With Presumption, Forswear!
Whichever Way He Decides To Walk
The Word Of The Eternal God Shall Stand:

  • Faith Comes By Hearing

It Is Time ...

For Mankind To Get Greedy
For Heaven's Glorious Gold
By Putting Away Those Things
That Surely Blight The Soul! 
Let's Cast Our Care Upon Christ Jesus!
Let's Give Unto Him All Our Sin!
Let's Lift Up Our Hearts To Him In Contrition
AND

Receive From His Hand
The New Start
To Really, Really, Start Living!

A sk Him For The Blessing To Help Us To
R esist The Devil, And Valiantly

"I" And "I" And Night Lights





There Is One "I" In Christ
AND
There Are Two "I's In Christian
Because
A Christian Sees
Eye To Eye With Christ
AND
Has No Desire
To Descend Into Hell's Oblivion!

The Man Who Walks Right
In His Own "I" Sight
Is The Man Who Chooses
To Have His Life End
In Eternal Night
For
He Has No Touch
No Truck
With The Lord Of Life
Who Gives Light
So
He Has Not In His Possession
The Comfort Of The Night-Light!

I Went Into Pray
AND
Met With Him Who For Me Cares
AND
Now ... NOW
I Have No Fear
Of Roaring Lions
Who Are Bug Bears
For
Jesus Christ Is My Captain
My Sword
AND
My Shield
AND
With Him Guarding
Guiding
AND
Protecting
I Can Resist The Devil
AND
He Has No Choice
But ... TO FLEE!

Jesus Christ
IS
My Lord
AND
My God
AND
Trusting Him
Makes Me A Wise One
Who
In The Great Day
Shall Receive
The Commendatory Reward!

I Choose The Eternal Light
AND
To Walk In His Everlasting Light
AND
In So Doing
To Have No Fear Of Life's Darkening Night
For
In Him In Whom I Trust
In Him In Whom I Believe
Is True And Bright Light
That Gives True And Clear Sight!


How Do You See?
With What Light Are You At Life Looking?
Is Your Light Lit From The Oil Of Heaven
Or
Is Your Light The Result
Of Burning Bread Filled With Pharisee Leaven??

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

Call Upon Jesus Christ!
He Is  The Light 
And
The Life
Of The World!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Jesus Christ!




In The Realm of Darkness
The Son Light is Decidedly Lacking
The Night is Relentlessly Attacking
Fear is Oft' Hijacking 
and
Conscience is Always for Vacation Packing!

We MUST The Realm Of Darkness Hate
We MUST let Jesus Christ in at The Longing Heart's Gate
We MUST Resist Satan's Customized Bait 
or
We WILL Suffer his Written-In-Blood Fate!

Honor Almighty God!
Love Jesus Christ - He IS The Lord!
Give Assent to The Comforter's Peace Accord
and
At The Last
Avoid Eternal Death's Fjord!









SIN & DEATH CO$T$!

JESUS' FAITH & LOVE PAYS!
