VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Complete Canalization Cure: The Holy Spirit

Anything Not Committed To Christ

Will Be Used By Satan

As A Canal To Your Soul's Damnation!

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

I Am At A Loss!
I Read Of One Pastor Saying That 

He Used To Be Afraid Of The Holy Spirit!

I Read The Work Of A Bible Teacher Who Says That 

We Can Learn To Make "Direct Contact" 

With The Holy Spirit And Intimating That 

We Can Do So At Will!

I Read My Bible
And The Word Of The Lord, Himself
Calls The Holy Spirit Another Comforter
So I Don't See What There Is
In The Holy Spirit To Fear!

I Read In My Bible That
No One Can Come To The Lord
Unless The Holy Spirit Calls Him!

I Also Read In My Bible About 

Communion With The Holy Spirit
Cooperating With Christ
Obedience To The Will Of God
Faithfulness, Endurance
Witnessing To Brethren
But I SEE No Where That
I Can Have Personal Contact ... At Will
With The Omnipotent Holy Spirit God!

Will Somebody Please Enlighten Me To The Truth, Please!?!

That's A Lot To Unpack!

God, Almighty God, Is A Spirit
And 

They That Worship Him
Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth!

Your Valid Point Is:

The Holy Spirit Calls Us!

My Point To You Is This:

The Holy Spirit Takes Up Residence
In Your Heart-House!
You Need Your Heart To Live!
You Can't Turn Your Heart On And Off
So If The Holy Spirit
By Your Uncoerced, Personal, Invitation
To The Lord Christ
Is 

In Residence
And
You Are Cooperating With Christ
Are You Not ... Already
In Personal Contact With The Holy Spirit!?!

Secondly,
If The Holy Spirit Leads Us
Is Leading Us Into All Truth
How Can We Not Be In Personal Contact With Him!?!

Thirdly,
If The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides Us
How Can We Not Be In Personal Contact With Him!?!

Brethren,

The Church Is Filled With Many Persons
From Other Religious Traditions
And
There Are Many ... Even In Leadership Roles
Who "Believe" That Sight And Sound Is Salvation
Aka Pray A Prayer
Receive A Word, A Sign, A Wonder
And
You Are Saved!
You Have Salvation!

Put Differently
There Are Many Who Like To Have A New Thing
With Which To Thrill The Brethren!

I Ask You This:

Why Are You Searching For That 

Which You Have In Possession!?!

The Impartation Of The Holy Spirit
Is
A Gift To Us From The Lord
And
The Vision, The View, Of Our Gift
Is
Our Changed Lives, Likes, Dislikes
Desires, Hopes
Interactions, Reactions
Tastes, Temptations ...!

... Temptations!?!

Oh, Yes!
The Temptations That Satan Sends The Way Of
The Confessed, Converted, Christian
Are Strictly For The Purpose Of Shame And Denigration!

Shaming You ... The New Child Of Almighty God
And
Denigrating The Lord Christ
Because
The Knowledge Of His Sacrifice 

Didn't, Couldn't, "Stop" His Professing Child Reborn
From Doing The Nasty By Nature!

Before You Chose Christ
- By Accepting The Holy Spirit's Call -
You Were A Known Enemy Of The Eternal
So, Therefore, No Threat To The Dark Lord's Dominion!

As A Confessing, Repentant
Turning Away From Sin Unto Salvation
Practicing Christian
You Are Become A Problem
Thus A Threat
Thus A Target
And 
Marked For Neutralization
By Threatenings, Tests, Trials
Torrid Temptations
And
If All Else Fails
Termination With Prejudice!

Death To Defiers Of The Damned One!

Indeed!

But ...

We Have This Hope ...!

... Within Our Hearts!

AMEN!!!

What Do You Do When Satan's Knocking You!?!

Pray!

What Do You Do When Love Is Calling You!?!

Pray!

What Do You Do When Hope Is Gone!?!
What Do You Do When You're All Alone!?!
What Do You Do When You Want To Call The Heavenly Home!?!

We Pray, Pray, Pray!

What Does The Holy Spirit Do With Your Prayers!?!

He Intercedes With Groanings!
Groanings That Cannot Be Uttered!

Who Knows The Mind Of God!?!

The Holy Spirit Of God!

And If We Have The Holy Spirit Indwelling Us
- Living Within Us -
Does It Not Stand To Reason ...!

... The Lord Said Come Let Us Reason Together ...!

... Which Means Gives The Lord Your Sin
Your Scarlet
Your Crimson
AndHe Shall Make Them White
Like Snow
Like Wool!

For That To Happen
The Gift Given By Your Personal Savior
- His Indwelling Holy Spirit -
Must Do A Personal Work Of Refurbishment
Reformation
Regeneration
In Me, In You, In Us!

Is This Something That We ... Fallen

Sinful, Sinning, Creatures Can Do!?!
Is This Something That We Can Engineer
By "Tapping Into!?!"

Brethren,

We Cannot Go To The Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit Comes To Us!
We Do Not Instruct The Holy Spirit
Saying:

Today I Want The Gifts Of The Spirit
Tomorrow I Want The Fruits Of The Spirit
Two Days Hence I Want To Witness To A Stranger-Friend
Next Sabbath I Want To Prophesy ...!

... If We Have The Power To Do All Of That
We Make The Word Of Almighty God A Verifiable Lie
And Our Blessed Lord A Charlatan!

In Essence
We Can Save Ourselves
And
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice For Us
Is
A Total Failure ... A Waste!

Isn't That Satan's Endgame!?!

Always Was And Always Will Be!

Brethren,

We Must Be Wise Unto Salvation!
The Word ... The Way Of The Lord
Is
Simplicity!

The Lord Has Told Us
How To Get To The Father
Which Is Through The Son
Who Gives Us Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is By Invitation
When We Accept The Living Word Of God 

Which Is Able To Save Our Souls!

Jesus Christ Is The Word!
The Word Became Flesh
And
Dwelt Among Us!
He Lived To Show Us How To Live Now!

He Died, Got Up

And 

Rose Up To The Father
And
Is In The Most Holy Place Of

The Heavenly Sanctuary 

Making Intercession For Us!

Before The Lord Christ Left The Earth
To Return To His Glory With The Father
He Said He Would Send Us Another Comforter
To Lead Us
To Be With Us
To Comfort Us
To Teach Us
To Bless Us!

The Lord Christ Did Not Lie
Because
He Cannot Lie!

He Is The Truth!

Since His Living Word Is Tried Gold
Imperishable
Rest ... Assured
That You ... A Born Again
Faithful, Believing
Working, Waiting, Watching
Cooperating-With-Christ Christian
Is
In Personal Contact With The Holy Spirit
Who Is Almighty God!

You Don't Need To Learn ... How
To Get Into Personal Contact
With The Holy Spirit!

What We Need To Do Is To Indulge
Willful Obedience
Ready Praying
Hard-Working Faith
Prayerful Watching
Constant Cooperation
Wise Witnessing
Loving Care
And
Cheerful Sharing Of Good Food

Blessing Words
And
Caring Comfort To All People
Friend, Not Yet Friend
And, Yes Even Our Foes!

We Do Not Need A New Thing
To Excite Our Fancy!
We Need To Trust
Honor, Worship, Obey

And

- The Hard One For Most -
Cooperate With The Lord
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
So That We May Be Eternally Blessed!

AMEN!!

Our Charge For The Week Ahead Is Found In

Proverbs 12:28 :

Righteousness Exalts ...Raises Up
A Person, A Family, A People!
Our Lord Jesus Is Righteousness Personified
So Let Us Endeavor To Daily Walk In His Footsteps
So That In The Great Day Of Judgment
Our Reward Is Not Condemnation But The Well-Done Commendation
And
The Welcome Into The Joy Of Our Lord!

Remember ...

Right Living ... Righteousness
Is
A Choice Which Pays Present, Future
And
Eternal Dividends
That No Created Being Can Erase Or Steal
Because
Jesus Christ ... By The Holy Spirit
Saves And Seals
So Let Your Life Lived In Him Shine As A Light In This Dark World Of Sin!

Peace Be Unto You!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Making God A Fake ... Again!?!

I Have Yet To Figure Out
How Christian Liberality

And Spiritual Prosperity
Tie Into Worship Experience!

I Think You've Got It Backward!
The Question Should Be
How Does The Worship Experience
Convert To Christian Liberality
And Spiritual Prosperity?!

I Believe You're Both Missing The Big Picture!

What Is A "Worship Experience?!"

Is It Like A Museum Visit?!
Is It Anything Like The Dreaded Work Experience?!
Job Shadowing?!
Heart Surgery?!
Root Canal?!
Childbirth?!
Divorce?!

But All Those Are Things You Experience ... And Move On!

I Believe This Vaunted 

Valued "Worship Experience" Phenomena
To Be Utter Rubbish!

Bite Your Tongue!
We Had One Last Week
And It Was Off The Chain!

Sooo, What Did You Gain?!

Well, Actually ...!
It Was Uh, Ahh ...!
... I Bought A Key Chain!

Lord, Save Your Children!

Don't You People Realize That 

There Is A Mind Game
Being Run Against You
With This Feeling God Worship Experience Nonsense
Called New Church?!

Picture It ...

Mood Lights!
Myriad Camera Angles!
Impressive Sound!
Smoke and Bubble Machines!
Nubile Dancing Girls!
Sound-Bite Preaching!
Intoxicatingly Immersive Music!
The Loving Jesus!
The Blessing Jesus!
The Giving Jesus!
The Touching Jesus
BUT
No Judging Jesus!

There's Even The Social Justice Jesus!
The Political Jesus!
The Match-Maker Jesus!
BUT
No Repent Of Your Sin And Be Baptised Jesus!

There's The God Made A Mistake When He Created You Jesus!
The Change The Bible If It Makes You Uncomfortable Jesus!
The No Need To Forsake Sin And Self Jesus!
The Piggy Bank Jesus!
The Real Estate Jesus!
The Too Blessed To Be Stressed Jesus
AND
The Biggie
The Egyptian Magician Jesus!

Experiencing God
Isn't About What You Feel On Your Skin!
Experiencing God
Is

About The Work
That The Holy Spirit Does Within!

Nobody And Nothing
Can Experience It For You
Because
It Is A Holy Spirit Work
And Not Those Kundalini Spirits
That Make You Behave
Like A Venomous Serpent Done Gone And Stung You!

Preach Brother!
Preach!

I'm Well And Truly Tired Of
The Lord Told Me To Tell You Movement!
The Lord Gave Me To Give You Movement!
The If You Don't Have A Reaction You Ain't A Real Christian Movement!
The God Gotta Save Us All Because He Made Us This Way Movement!
The I Feel De Spirit Move In Me So Jesus Sent It Movement ...!

... But, Wait!
Haven't They Read That
One Must "Test" The Spirits!?!

Test What!?!
They're Not Into Tests!
They're Into Experience!

They Must Not Have Heard That
Experience Kills!

If They Haven't

Then I Strongly Suggest They Should "Ask" Israel!

Israel Wittingly, Willfully, Chose 

To "Experience" Other Nations' Gods
AND

Many Of Them Experienced Death For Their Trouble!
They Didn't Die To Live Again
Because They Are All Well And Truly Forever Damned!

I Hear You!!

Straight And Narrow Is The Way To Life!
Step Off The Path
And Step 'Pon A Sharp Knife!
Ignore De Warnings
And Soon You Will See
Someone Else's Experience
Should Your Teacher Be
Just Because
- Truth Be Told -
The Life-Lesson Learned Second-Hand Is Always Pain-Free!

Indeed!

We Live In The Desert Of Sin
ANDWe Should Plainly Trust The Living God Of Grace
With Whom We Say We are Walking!
He Has Already Proved His Worth
So

• Follow His Lead
• Accept That There Will Be Challenges
• Willingly Accept Them As A Given 
• Believe The Word Sent
• Walk Forward With Intent
• Lean On The Faithful Guide
• Do Not To Ravening-Wolf Roaring-Lion Magazine Subscribe
• Receive Good From The Holy Hand
• Recognize Your Need

AND

• Let Him Design The Lay Of Your Land!

Brethren,

Let Us Pray Faithfully
AND
Faithfully Proceed
ANDDo Not To The Naysayers
Any Good Ground Concede
Even If It Means
Your Blood Will Be Seed
Because
For A Harvest To Be Had
A Seed Has To Die
BUT
In The Day Of Harvest
The Production Number
Can't
Won't
Lie!

Let Me Tell Y'All Something ...

It Ain't No Worship Experience
That The Congregation Needs!
It Needs To Get Into The Lab Of Salvation
AND

Engage With Hands-On Courses
In Free Grace
In Available Mercy
In Confession
In Repentance
In Walking Holy
In Working In Faith For Christ's Kingdom
In Doing Good
In Pursuing Righteousness
ANDIn Doing All The Needful Necessary 

ExPERIments
With Professor Jesus
Aka Lord Christ
The Great Physician
The Good Shepherd
The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Great God Of The Forever Blessed!

Wow!

Aren't You Glad You Got That Off Your Chest!?!

I'd Be More Than Glad
If You Would Study
AND
Show Yourselves ... Approved
Before Almighty God!

It's Time That You Stop Cavorting In The Popular Pastimes Church! 

It's Time For You To Walk Out Of The Itching Ears Temple! 

ANDIt's Time That You Get Out Of Bed With The Gross Fraud
AND
Into A Real Relationship With The Living Holy God!

Deed And Faith!
None Ah We Ain't Got Nuh Tomorrow's Put Down!

Look At The Signs!
See The Deceitful Wonders Being Performed
In The Church
AND KNOWJesus Christ 

Is

Coming Real Soon!

People, Get Your Houses In Order! 

This Ain't No Time

On The Shoals Of Life To Flounder!

Satan Is A Bold, Base, Bounder

So

Take Jesus Christ

And

Trust At His Holy Word

And

With Him

You Shall Range The Great Blue Yonder!

VESPERS: At The End Of The Sabbath - Saints and Sinner

Jesus said that you must be newborn again!

Saints are Preserved

Sinners are Reserved!

Saints from sin they do repent

Sinners bold don’t e'er relent!

Saints always and ever they pray

Sinners just don’t give a care!

Saints they seek always to self-deny

Sinners oh, how they self-rely!

Saints look to the Eastern Sky

Sinners stuff themselves with apple pie!

Saints may have pockets that be to-let

Sinners seek for what they can get!

Saints seek always to be reformed

Sinners to norms they be conformed!

Saints to Jesus they apply

Sinners seek their eye to satisfy!

No more a sinner shall I be

I, now a Saint, forsake the Me

Looking to Jesus who set aside my disgrace

With His Blessing I shall see my Dear King’s face!

NOTE TO SELF:

"No!" to Self!

"Yes!" to Him!
