HAPPY SABBATH + Hope Brings Us Joy And Peace!

A Person Without Hope 

Is 

Like A Boat That Won't-Can't Float: 

Both Are Going Down! 

Beloved, 

Look At The Shooting Star! 

Where Is It Going!?! 

Is It Able To Go Back To The Once Appointed Place 

And 

Continue On Its Formerly Appointed Track!?! 

No! 

Can Water Hope To Fall ... Up!?! 

Uhhh, Nope! 

If We Choose To Take Up Our Appointment With The Lord Of Life

We Have Every Reason To Get Up And Git 

Aka Go About Our Master's Business Knowing That 

He Has Already Handled Ours! 

Dear Ones, 

When Our Lives Are In The Master's Hands

We Have ... We Know ... We Do ... We Are ... We Grow 

And

It Shows This Rude, Wild, And Wicked World 

What The Lord Jesus Christ ... The Author Of Hope

Does In The Life Of One Who Calls Him, Creator, Lord, God

King, Redeemer, Friend

Hope

Help 

And

Sure Salvation! 

Jesus Christ Cannot Save What Is Destroyed: 

What Is Destroyed Needs No Savior! 

Remember The Great Flood In Noah's Time!

Remember Sodom And Gomorrah!

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

People Will Be Destroyed For Lack Of Knowledge! 

We, As Faithful Christians, Know The Word 

So Let Us Live The Life Of The One Who Calls Us 

To Hope In Him! 

Never, Ever, Forget That 

Hope Brings Us Joy And Peace! 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous

Is 

Peace ... Our Perfect Peace!

Peace!

Hope In God And

     Obey The Word And

 Pray For Faith To

                    Endure The Testing Time! 

STRENGTHEN THE WEAK KNEES: No Need To Feel Depressed Or Hopeless!

It Is Very Easy To Become Depressed Or Hopeless 

Until We Remember That 

Whatever Is Done Unto Us By Our Adversary

Falls Squarely 

On The Holy Head Of Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

Roses Have Thorns

Days Have Nights

Laughter Follows Sorrow

Salvation Kills Sin

Light Chases Darkness

And 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Near And Coming Again! 

Strengthen The Weak Knees ...

Let Us Of The Household Of Faith 

Choose To Accept, Understand 

And 

Remember That The Holy Spirit

Is

Our Comforter, Teacher And Corrector

And That 

It Is By The Gift Of Daily Faith Daily Received That 

We Believe In Jesus ... In The Word Of Truth

And Thereby 

We Are Then Able To Experience Perfect Peace 

In The Midst Of The Constant Storms Of Life! 

By The Lord's Great Grace Shown Towards Us

We Are Able To Have Joy

For It Is Jesus Christ, Alone

Who Causes Us To Have Joy ... True Happiness

In And For Daily Living! 

Carnal Logic Says: 

"Take What You Want

And

Pay For It!" 

Jesus Christ, Our Savior And Redeemer, Says: 

"Take Me

For I Have Paid

For All That You Need!" 

I Beseech Us All, Brethren

Dare To Steadfastly Hold Unto 

Almighty God's Unchanging Hand! 

Dare To Take The One Needful Step Toward King Jesus: 

He Is Reaching Out To You 

Even As He Is Holding You Close To 

And 

In His Heart

And 

Please Let The Holy Spirit Start

Continue 

And 

Finish The Good Work In You! 

Enjoy Jesus ... Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Help Me Not To Be Deceitful, Father!

Dear Father,

Who Hears And Answers Prayer

Please Help Me Not To Squander

The Gifts You Have Given

Purchased At The Price Infinitely Dear!

I Worship You, Lord!

Help Me Not To Be Deceitful, Father

And Despise The Saving, Uncomfortable, Truth 

And Love The Known-Decimating Comfortable Lie

Which Cannot My Hungering Soul Edify!

Please Help Me To Trust You Explicitly

And To Honor, Love, Worship And Enduringly Obey

And To Not Be A Willful Wanderer

Going After That Which Is Not Bread

And Does Not Profit My Purchased Soul

And By So Doing

Earn For My Self The Devil's Sure Pay!

I Am A Pilgrim, A Stranger, In This Realm

This Vale Of Tears

Where Tests And Tempests Are The Order Of The Day

Unmitigated By Grace

For Those Who Willfully Chose Your Will Not To Obey!

Oh, Master, Keep Me Faithful!

I Trust You, My Father!

I Worship You, My God!

I Choose To Walk Softly In Your Sanctuary

Because I Do Not Want To Have Any Truck

With Satan That Wily And Eternally-Damned God-Fraud!

I See My Desperate Need For My Soul's Savior

The Lord Jesus Christ

He Who Gives To The Weary, The Burdened

Sweet Rest And Perfect Peace

So Please Help Me, Father, I Beseech You

To Reach For The Extended Hand

Which Will Help Me To Arrive Safely At My True Home!

Father,

I Ask Please To Help Me 

In The Ways That Only The Holy God Can!

Help Me To Bow So That I Do Not Burn!

Help Me To Be Humble

And Do Not Good Counsel Spurn

And Help Me To Look Up To The Cross Of Christ

So That Unto Fables, I Do Not Turn!

I See You, Lord

Through The Eyes Of Faith!

And I Touch You, Lord

With The Heart Of Lord

That Will Never Know Disgrace

Because You Who Calls Unto Me

Is Faithful, Just, Kind, Loving, And Ever True

And Will Never Turn Away A Child

Who Is Reaching Out In Hope

To Hold On To You!

I Am Blessed And I Know It

And Thank You For My Victories, Lord!

My Victories Over Self And Sin

Over Lust And Hate

Over Envy And Greed

And My Daily Victory Over Satan The Snake

That Deceiver

Who Would My Assured Crown Of Life 

With Vindictive Malice Violently Take!

I Cast My Will And My Choice At Your Feet, Lord!

I Am Rejoicing In Your Love, Lord

For I Have Hope!

I Have Faith!

I Have Mercy, Grace And Truth!

I Have Jesus Christ The Righteous As King

And I Am Looking Forward To Being With You

In The Realm Of Eternal Youth!

Please Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit Upon This Flesh

And Fix Me, Lord!

Make Me Clean And Whole

For Heaven At The Last Trumpet

Is My Sole Goal

And May The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength

Surround Me And Keep Me Safe In Your Dear Sight

And Influence Me To Do Good

Both Day And Night!

I Desire To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith!

I Thank You For Your Grace

Your Love, Your Truth, Your Light

And Your Promised Forgiveness

For I Confess And Repent Of My Known Sins!

Oh, How I Look Forward To Receiving

Christ's Eternal Life!

Please Lead Me Safely, Gently, Home

Even As You Grant Unto Me These Few Petitions

Which I Humbly Ask For 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: WHO DONE IT: One Letter ...!?!

The Case Is Not ... Is ... Over!
They've Been Tied Up In Knots
And
All Because Of One Letter
Good People Are Being Given The Blot!

They Can't Stay!
They Have To Go!
They Aren't To Speak To Anyone
And
Anyone Who Answers Them
Must Give The Approved Answer ...!

... Which Is!?!

No! No! No!

But How Did This Happen!?!

It Was A Destroyer's Special!

He Changed One Letter In Praying Family's Name
And
Now They Are To Be By All Thoroughly Disdained!

Praying Family Is A Delight To Know
But
They Were Against Dark Lord's Bank Balance 

Making Deep Inroads By Telling The Truth
Doing The Good And The Right
Blessing God By Blessing Others

Telling The Good News Gospel
To The World And His Brother
And
Not Preying Upon Sisters, Friends
Brothers, Co-Workers
Relatives And Others!

Dark Lord Flipped The Script
And
Instead Of The Praying Family
Praying For Self And Others
They Are Now Publicly Branded
As The Preying Family
Preying With Malice 

Upon The Citizen Sisters And Brothers!

It Was A Stroke Of Evil Genius!

All Because Of One Letter!?!

No!

It Was Because The Good Praying Family
Was Causing Others To Believe That
They Could Change
That They Could All Things Well
That They Could Be A Blessing To Others
And That 

- This Was The Kicker -
Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost!

All The Publicl- Known Violations Against 

The Preying Family
- Those Known Crooks, Robbers
Liars, Murderers And Thieves -
Were Transferred To The Praying Family's Record
And
They Were All Arrested
Tested
Rejected
And
From The Society Of Men
Needing Soul Salvation
Ingloriously Ejected!

Lord, Help Us!

There Is No Recourse!
There Is No Appeal
And
For A Vengeful Lie

Everything That They Diligently
Conscientiously Worked For
They've Been Forced To Leave!

I Guess You Know That This Doesn't End Here
That Dark Lord Has Something Else Nasty
Under His Long, Black Sleeves ...!

... And Jesus Christ The Righteous
Has The Whole World In His Hand
And
Every Believer In His Heart!
We Are The Apple Of His Eye!

But, Wait
How Is The Family Taking It!?!

Just As Normal ... As Part Of The Journey!
They Are Praying, Praising
Trusting, Hoping
Speaking Truth In Righteousness!

That's Good! 

They Believe That God Is In The Moment ...!

... In All The Moments!

... And You'd Be Right! 

Almighty God Is The Eternal Spirit 

Who Inhabits ... With Us ... Time And Space

Past, Present, And Future

And

All Times And All Places!

He Was ... He Is! 

He Is To Come!

He Was Dead ... Is Alive

And 

Is Alive Forevermore!

He Holds The World In His Hands 

And 

He Dwells Within The Regenerated Believer's Heart! 

He Is Hope For Today

And 

The Promise For The Future!

He Created Time

And 

He Is Not Restricted By Time! 

He Knows Our Needs For The Duration Of Our Lives

And 

He Reaches Into The Time Not Yet Constructed 

And 

Makes Provision For What Is Needful 

So As ... As He Says 

To Give Us A Hope ... A Future, 

An Expected  End!

He Is Our Great Awesome God!

He Is Holy! 

He Is Creator! 

He Is Divine!

Brethren, 

Dark Days Are Ahead For All Of Us

Who Choose To Believe In

And

Enduringly, Willingly, Lovingly 

Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ

So, Please, Let Us Keep Our Thoughts
Our Words
Our Actions
To Him Ever, Always, Inclined!

I'll Speak The Truth!
Jesus Christ Is Mine
And Heaven At The Last Trumpet
Shall Surely Be Mine!

Our God Is Ever Faithful
Ever Present
Ever Kind
And
Not One Of His Faithful Children
Shall Be Left Alone
Or Left Behind!

With The Almighty God
As Our Healer, Feeder, Leader And Sealer
There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause Us To Repine!

Let Us Pray With Passion Always
And
On Jacob's Climb Confidently Climb!
The Praying With Faith Family
Will Be More Than Fine!

SALVATION: Please Open Your Gift!

Real Good Or Really Bad
Nobody Earns Salvation

And

Nobody Is Refused Salvation!
For This Blessing, Our Hearts Should Be Glad!

Salvation 
Is
The Free Gift Given To All
Compliments Of The Eternal God
And
Not Worked For
As Posits Satan
That Unholy And Bold Wannabe God-Fraud!

Please Open Your Gift! 

Know Your Forever-Friend ...

Jesus Christ Is Calling!
Everybody Is Welcome!
You Don't Have To Wait For A Special Call!
The Living Word Of Truth Is Preserved
Openly Given
And
Free To Whosoever Will
So, Reach Out And Grab The Extended Hand
And
Receive The Living Word
And
Enjoy Peace Now
And To Come
Eternal Living!

Know Your Enemy ...

Satan Is The Liar:
The Love Of Jesus Christ, The Lord
Is 
Neither Deceitful Nor Forbidding!

Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 

He's Always, Always, Taking
Destroying
And
Fibbing 
But
The Lord Christ
The Savior Of Man
The Creator, Redeemer, Provider
Lover Of Every Man's Soul
Is
Ever, Always, Gifting ... Giving!

Jesus Christ Is Life
Is Light
And
The Way To Truth
And
The Truth
And
His Words Are True
And
He Never, Ever, Indulges
In Ad-libbing!

The Facts Are Fixed ...

The Lord Loves Me!
The Lord Loves You, Too
And
When We Commit Sin
We May ... With A Contrite Heart
Humbly Present Ourselves
Before The Father ... In Jesus' Holy Name
And
Know Of A Surety That He Will Forgive
Succor 
And 
Bless And Spiritually Proper Us, Too!
His Love Is Personal
To Each And Every One Of Us, Too
And That, Brethren
Is
Almighty God's Gospel Truth!

Do Not Wear

- Not Even In Jest -

Satan's

Gainsaying, Prideful

Lust-Filled

Walking-Only-To-Damnation Shoes!

They Are Not For Me Nor You!

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.

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: My Soul Desires ...!

I Am Very Grateful
That The Living God Is The Living God 

Almighty

Holy

Long-Suffering

Patient

Kind

Omnipotent

Omniscient

Omnipresent

AND

I Am Not
For I Could Not Tolerate
Our Avid Indulgence
In Soul-Destroying Rot
Our Insistence On Waywardness
Our Penchant For Self-Inflicted Pain
Our Willful Walking In Sin To Get Gross Gain

AND
Our Purile Repentances
AND
Doing It All
Again

Again

AND

Again!

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Thank You! 

I Bless You! 

Your Word Is True

And

You Are Truth! 

You Are The Faithful God

The Blessing God, Too!

 

You Are Indeed Toward Us Longsuffering

And

I Praise

I Honor

I Glorify You

And

In Humility

With A Soul Sorrowful Over Sin

Father,

I Open My Heart's Door!

Please Take Possession

Let Your Holy Spirit Move In

And

Take Full Control!

I've Been Willful! 

I've Been Wayward! 

I've Been A Wanderer Bold! 

Lord, 

I Admit It

Sometimes My Heart Toward You

Was Cold

But

You Have Been Faithful

Tolerant

Patient

And

In My Time Of Ignorance

You Winked At My Folly

And Continued

To Me To Be Kind!

Thank You!

  

I Worship You!

 

Father, You Are

- Please Be - 

Forever Mine!

Let Me Not Again

Turn Aside To Idols

As Would A Dog To Its Vomit

As Would A Swine

To Its Wallowing Pit

For, Lord

I Now Know Better!

Please, Dear Lord

Renew Me

By Your Spirit

For I Have No Desire

- In Jesus' Name I Plead - 

To Suffer 

The Eternal Separation Blot!

I Desire To See You In Peace

And

With Holy Gladness! 

Father,

I Desire To Experience

The Forever Free-From-Sin Release! 

I Desire To Behold My Redeemer

Celebrated

In All His Glory

And 

I Desire To See The End

Of The Gospel Story

Which Is

The Start Of My Physical Voyage

To Heaven's Glories!

Father, 

I Beseech You!
How I Beseech You

To Help Me

To Stand Firm In The Faith

To Be Constant And Faithful

For I Want No Part

Of That Fallen One's

Coming Disgrace!

Lord,

I Desire That Free Salvation!

I Desire To Live At Home With You!

Father,

I Desire To Live

In The Prepared-For-Me Place!

I Love You, Lord

Have Mercy

And

Please Continue To Bless

For I Ask All

In The Worthy Name Of Christ Jesus

The Holder Of The Hands

Of

The Truly Blessed! 

AMEN.
