VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Righteous Living Is Not A Jail + No Repentance After Death!

Speak Softly! 
Be Kind! 
Do Good! 
Act Right! 

We Represent Jesus Christ
Who Does Everything That Pleases His Father! 
Jesus Was Abused, Denied, Rejected
And Yet
He Preached, Prayed, Taught
Healed And Fed The Multitudes
Giving No Heed To His Detractors
Because
He Knew What Was At Stake
What Trial
What Triumph 
Laid Ahead! 

No Cross ... No Crown! 
No Hope ... No Glory! 
No Prayer ... No Power! 
We Must Firmly Stand Upon The Truth
Found Only In The Good News Gospel Story! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Let's Not Let Sinful-Self 
Choose Neither Our Attitude Nor Our Altitude
But
Let Grace, Faith And Prayer 
Order Our Steps To Glory
If It Is Truly Our Heart's Desire 
To Dwell Forever With The Kind King 
Who Is Eternally In Residence There! 

Fear Almighty God ... Not The Great Unknown
For Almighty God ... Alone 
Is In Control 
And
To Him
The Unknown Is Known! 

Let Jesus Christ The King
Who Rules And Reigns
Judges And Justifies
Saves And Sanctifies
Heals And Helps
Teaches And Tests
And
Loves Us And Leads Us
Love Us And Lead Us
For He Is Our Only Peace 
And 
Our True Rest! 

Let Us Cease From Our Wanderings
Our Going Astray
And
Trust The Love That Cannot Fail
Who Gives Us Faith That Cannot Fail
Who Blesses Us With Grace That Is Really Real
And
Pours Mercy Upon Us
That Will Not Our Lives Derail! 

Follow Our Father! 
Be The Head And Not The Tail
And
Live Commendably To Rejoice 
And
Not Condemnably To Wail! 
Righteous Living Is Not A Jail! 


THOUGHT
FOR
THE WEEK AHEAD:


 



We Are Warned By Our Dear Savior That 
Anything Done In The Darkness 
Shall Surely Be Brought Into 
The Glaring Light Of Judgment! 

People Whose Deeds Are Evil
Who Despise Correction And Chastisement
Always Choose To Operate Under Cover Of Darkness 
To Avoid Detection! 

Beloved, 

Be Ye Warned And Thrilled ...

The All-Seeing, Ever-Present Eye Of The All-Knowing God 
Sees And Records Every Last Thing That We Do! 

We May Hide From Man 
But
Hiding From Man Achieves Nothing 
Because 
It Does Not Hide Or Erase Our Record
In The Courts Above! 

Think Carefully ...

If You Have To Hide To Do Anything
It Is Certain That 
You Already Know That What You're Doing 
Or Contemplating Doing Is Wrong
Will Not Pass The Sniff Test
And
Is Definitely Not Pleasing To Our Maker, God And King! 

Be Wise ...

If You Would Not Wish To Be Caught 
Doing Something Iffy Or Sniffy By Your Parents
Children, Husband, Wife, Friends Or Family
You Should Back Up Off Your Intended Action:
A Working Conscient Is An Asset!

Avoid Mistakes By Walking In The Light
And
Dare To Correct Your Errors While Life Is Spared! 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Anyone 
So Do Not Let The Last Act Of Your Life 
Be A Dark Deed Of The Damned! 

There Is No Repentance After Death 
So Do Not Stifle Your Conscience: 
Do Right!

STAY IN THE WORD: We Need The Lord ... The Law !



John 17:24 KJV!! | Kristi Ann's Haven



Jesus Christ Prays For Us!
Let's Pray For Ourselves
And
Others!


Praying Changes Our Perspective Of Everything!
If You Do Not Commit Crime
Which Is Breaking The Laws Of The Land
You Have No Reason To Fear Law-Men Aka The Police! 


Praying Will Keep Us From Sinning
Or
Sinning Will Keep Us From Praying!

If You Live A Righteous Life ... Walking In The Light Of Life
- Being Careful To Follow The Law Of The Lamb -
You Have No Reason To Fear Having To Give An Accounting Of
The Carefully Recorded Report Of All You Thought, Said And Did 
Before The King Of Love
The Final Judge Of All Flesh 
Whom No One Can Ignore Or Escape! 

Beloved, 

We Should Be Careful Of 
And 
Fearful For Those Who Say With Unholy Boldness That 
They Don't Believe In God
Don't Care What God Says
Know That They Are Truthful And Good, Kind, Loving And Caring 
But 
The All-Knowing Almighty Ever-Present God Is Not 
Even As They Live Their Lives Like The Right Side Of A Bus 
While Needing The Breath Of The Same God To Live 
And
To Be Able To Self-Righteously Blaspheme His Holy Name! 

We Need To Think Before We Speak
Look Before We Leap 
And 
Consider Carefully 
By Whose Power We Rise Up Each Day From Sweet Sleep! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Law Giver 
And
The Giver Of Life: 
Ignore Him ... Ignore His Power ... At Your Own Peril! 

Brethren, 

Let's Delight In Our Jesus Today ... For Love ... 
And 
Receive The Heaven-Blessed Desires Of Our Hearts 
As We Walk In His Holy Will 
On The Glorious Holy Way! 

Respect The Innocent Sacrifice: 
Obey The Lord And His Law 
OR
We Will Never Get Home To Share In His Great Glory! 


Follow The Living Word
Not Fickle-Fashion Faith!


Lift Up The Lord Christ 
And 
Live Forevermore: 
We Shall Enjoy Perfect And Eternal Peace!

The Word Works:
Stay In The Word!

LIVING AN EMPOWERED LIFE: The Restoration Of All Things Is Coming!

Were You Afraid 
When You Came To Life In Your Mother's Womb!?! 

Can't Say That I Was! 

Let's Just Say That I Was Oblivious ... Unaware! 

Lord Of Glory, God Of Grace
I Come Before You
Heart In Hand
Presenting My Soul's Petition
In The Name Of The Holy Son Of Man! 
I Have A Need, Lord
And I Know That For Me You Care
So I Bring My Burden, My Father
I Give You All
I Will Not Retain A Personal Share! 

I Used To Be Afraid Of Death
And
The Sight And Smell Of The Dead
And The Stench Of Those Flowers ... Uggh! 

Whaaat!?! 
Why Were You Afraid Of Death!?! 

It Just Seemed So Cold ... So Harsh
So Very Final
And 
It Made Me Feel Powerless! 

What's Wrong With That!?! 

Nothing Is Wrong
Because
It's The Truth 
But 
Something Mightily Changed 
And
I Went From Being Powerless
To Being Empowered ... Even Feeling Powerful!

There's Life, Power And Strength
In Faithfully Trusting
The Living Word Of
The Eternal, Holy, God! 

I'd Always Loved Job 19:25
"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth...!"
And I Added The 18 Words Of
A Very Telling Verse Also In The Living Word! 

I'm Intrigued: Do Share! 

Everybody Runs To 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Offering Up At The End:

"... Comfort One Another With These Words ...!" 
But 
Even Though I Was Comforted
I Was Not Comfortable! 

I Didn't Just Want To Be Comforted When Someone Died
I Desired To Be Comfortable Walking In Life
Proceeding Unto My Own Death! 

Good Gracious! 
I Thought I Was The Only One Who Thought Like That! 

Nope, Nope, Not Even Close! 

Death: Harsh, Cold, Final, Makes Man Powerless
And
We Feel Powerless 
Because 
We Seemingly Have No Personal Control! 
I Wanted Control ... After The Godly Sort, Of Course! 

I Don't Understand What You Mean! 

Look At It This Way:

Man, Me, You Are Known Finite, Terminal!
Jesus Christ, Creator, Lord, God, Savior
Is
Eternal
And
He Says To Us Us All To Trust Him
Worship Him
Obey Him
Rest In Him
Live For Him
Die For Him
Die In Him
But
There Seemed To Me To Be A Disconnect!
I Knew What It Meant In My Head
But
My Heart ... My Desire To Live Abundantly
Wasn't Getting "It!"

I Know That "Feeling!"

We Were Never Meant To Die
But 
After The Curse ... We All Die
Because
We, By Sin, Are Disconnected 
From The Source Of Life!

Death Is Our Enemy!

Death Is The Final Enemy To Be Conquered
And
Death Always Seemed To Have 
Some Upper Hand Against Us ... Again Me
Until I Read



Psalm 48:14 KJV Bible graphics on Twitter | Bible encouragement ...


The Light-Bulb Went Off
And
Just Like That ... I Am Free! 
I Am Plugged Into The Source
And
I Get "It!"

Whom The Son Frees 
Is Free Indeed!

When The Author Of Life
The All-Knowing, All-Seeing, Ever-Present 
Feeling-All-Things-That-Concerns-Me-God 
Is 
Your Personal Retained-By-Prayer-And-Faith Shepherd
The Special-Force Guide For Your Life
Even Unto Your Prophesied Death 
- It Is Appointed Once For Man To Die - 
You Have Every Reason To Live Your Life In The Light
To Walk Wise Before Angels And Men
To Bless Others And Not Curse
To Freely Give As You Have Freely Received
And 
To Endure All Things With Patient Faith! 

The Life-Giver 
Is 
Life Maintainer And Life Sustainer
And 
Glory Be To God
He Is Also The Life Restorer
And
I Am Permitting Him To Lead Me ... Guide Me
All The Way To The Heavenly Home!

I Tell You The Truth When I Say That
We Are Blessed Indeed 
Who Permit The Kindly Light Of Life 
To Lead Us Unto Death: 
He Has Promised ... In Blood, That 
He Will Call Us Up From Death 
And 
Unto His Glory! 

Jesus Christ Conquered Death For Us
So We Must Willingly Take Him As Our Own
So That We Will Finally, Personally, Conquer Death
When He Calls Unto Us To Go Home!

Sinner Or Saint
The Mortal Coil Will Rest In Peace
In The Cold, Cold, Grave
Returning To The Soil
From Which It Came
And The Breath Of Life
Returns To God Who Gave It!

Beloved, 

There Is No Need To Fear Death Nor The Dead
When Jesus Christ Is Your God And Your Guide! 
Let Him Lead You 
And 
You Shall Surely Live Again! 

The Dead Know Nothing
And
Can't Do Anybody Any Harm!

I Am At Peace In And With The Eternal God 
Who Calls Me To Enjoy His Abundant Life Now
And 
His Eternal Life Hereafter! 

I Am Reassured And I Am Blessed
Because
I Know Who Knows The Unknown
And So
The Unknown Holds No Brief For Me! 
I Am In Jesus Christ The King
And
I Am At Peace! 

Apostle Paul Said That He Died Daily!

Indeed, And I Remember The Sentiment
Glory To Glory
And 
Life Unto Life!
The Death Of A Saint Of God And Christ, My Brethren
Is 
A Short Sleep! 

Between Death And Resurrection
There Is No Knowledge Of
The Passage Of Time!
Your Last Thought At Death
Is Your Continued Thought
At Your Resurrection!

We Have The Blessed Hope!
We Who Believe Jesus Christ's Word
And
Trust His Sacrifice Once For All Mankind
Know That The Restoration Is Coming!
The Dew Of Life Will Fall
And
All The Saints Of God And Christ
Shall Triumphantly Answer
When Their Names For Everlasting Life Are Called! 

I Am At Peace
And
I Thank My God For Relief And Release! 

We Live ... Though We Die
Is
The Promise Of The Lord Christ
Who Cannot Lie! 

We Must Endeavor, In All Things, To Live Righteously
And
Endure All Things Faithfully So That We Will Live Eternally!

AMEN!

SINNERS : Willing And Sorry



In The Corporeal Realm
Of Mortal Man
Double-Dealing
Double-Mindedness
AND
Double-Dipping
Are All Nasty
AND
Dangerous
AND
Should Be Diligently Avoided
If You
- Being Esteemed Honorable -
Want To Healthy And Safe
Stand!

Having To Indulge
In Fancy Footwork
To Keep Your House Upright
Shows Plainly
That Yours Is Not A Foundation Firm
AND
That You Have Not
The Great Lessons Learned!

Fickle Minds
In Feeble Men
Make For Feckless Friends
AND
Friends Reckless Prove Luckless
In The Coming Not-Distant End!

Walk Upright In This Life
Even If You Walk Alone
For
Inappropriate Associations
Are
Around Your Neck
Nothing But
A Great Millstone!

Life Is A Highway
A Pathway
A Race Way!

Life Is A Byway
A Bad Word
A Good Word
A Gasp!
"They" Say!

Life Is A Rugged Mountain
A Valley
A Great Plain
A Spinning Top
A Bouncing Ball!
Life Is What You Make Of It
When Upon The Blessed One
You Infinitely Call!

Life Can Be Full
Of Parrots Which Parrot
Pigeons Which Poop
Prayers Which Praise
Psalms Which Search
Songs Which Expose Hurts
Cries That Cure
Walks That Heal
Runs That Steal
Talks That Appeal
AND
Actions That Seal
AND
It Also Contains
A Broadway That Leads To Hell
AND
A Narrow Way That Leads To Heaven!

We Can
- As Sorry Sinners -
Go To The Savior For Our Soul Salvation
OR
We Can
- As Willing Sinners -
Go To The Devil
For Deliverance To Damnation!

A Decision Is Ours To Make
AND
Even If We Make No Decision
We Make Decision
For

  • We Cannot Run
  • The Race For Life
  • By Straddling The Spiked Fence
  • Voting For AND Against
  • Painting With Black AND White
  • Playing A Harp AND A Cymbal
  • Being A Hurt Bunny Cuddling With Wild Dogs
  • Shouting For Silence
  • Dancing Rock-n-Roll To A Waltz
  • Picking Your Teeth With A Long Sword
  • Polishing Your Shoes With Mud
  • Syphoning Gasoline With A Burning Match In Your Hand

OR

  • Walking Into A Tornado Calling Yourself The Man!


Take A Piece Of Advice ...

Be Bold!
Heaven Isn't In A Wall A Hole
So
Damn The Devil
AND
Call On
AND
Bless Christ
For
Righteous Living Is Better Than Nice
AND
It Rewards
With Eternal Life!


Who Will You Be From Today?
