Happy Sabbath + Exhortation!

Exhorted! 

          Commanded! 

                       Encouraged!

The Pointy Stick! 

The Hammer! 

The Embrace! 

How Often, Beloved, Have You Read The Bible

Or Heard A Sermon From A Faithful Steward

And 

Felt That The Exhortation Was Nothing More Than A Burden

A Pointy Poking Stick That 

Commanded Your Attention So Roughly That 

It Was As Though It Was Being Hammered Into You 

And 

Pounding Soft And Delicate You Into Mush Or Mash!?! 

How Long Did It Take Before You Realized That 

That Charged Word Known Truthful, Necessary

Was Encouragement, An Embrace, From The Heart Of Our God Eternal 

Who Makes Wrong Things Right

And 

Makes Broken Things Whole

And 

Causes The Dead To Live Again!?! 

What Made The Difference!?! 

Was It When You Realized That 

The Love Of God Was To And For You 

And

For You Made Bitter Herbs Sweet

The Winding Path Straight

The Rough Places Smooth

The Impossible Possible

And 

The Hellish Existence The Road To Glory 

Because 

Jesus Christ's Love To You Was Home Calling You Home!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Love Of God

- The Sacrificial Love Of The Just One - 

Was Made For All 

And

Whosoever Is Willing To Be Saved Will Reap Its Sweets! 

Will You Accept The Charge That Is From That Account That 

Is 

Always Free And Fully Funded 

By Our Forever Faithful Friend And Forgiving Father!?! 

Listen Again With Love For The Lover Of Your Soul 

And 

Let Him Lovingly Lead You To His Eternal Life! 

The Word Of Life Fashions Us

Feeds Us

And 

Fills Us Up Forever! 

Peace! 

AVAILABLE: Free Enemies!

 

AVAILABLE

To Anyone 

Who Will Live Godly Lives

In Christ Jesus: 

FREE ENEMIES!

 

REQUIREMENTS

For Acquisition: 

Stand Up For Jesus Christ 

And

Stand Firmly Against All Things 

Which Would Crucify Our Dear Savior Afresh! 

Dear Ones, 

It Must Be Understood That 

As Long As We Do Not Fit In With That Worldly-Wise Lot 

Who Question The Word, Ways, And Works Of 

The Only Wise God 

And, Instead

Are Named Wise-Unto-Salvation

Detractors, Haters, Instigators, Tempters

Tormentors, And Spoilers 

Will Show Up Like Vultures 

And 

Wait For You To Drop In Your Tracks 

From Exhaustion 

To Await Death 

So That They May Pick Your Bones Clean! 

Beloved, 

By Almighty God's Grace

Disappoint The Evil-Doers! 

We Belong To The Most High God 

And 

We Are To Lose Ourselves In His Undying

Unchanging, Unfailing, Love 

Which Untiringly Works For Our Soul Salvation 

And 

Gives Sacrificially For Our Eternal Blessing! 

Let Us Be Glad That 

We Are Numbered Amongst Those 

Who Are Counted Worthy To Suffer For Our Lord! 

Please Take Note That 

We Will Be Suffering For The God Who Creates

The God Who Is Life

Whilst Those Who Work For The Enemy Of Souls 

Work For The Father Of Lies

Who Only Births Sin, Death, Shame, And Sorrow

And

Leaves His Adherents, His Followers, With No Hope 

For A New Life In The Eternal God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

Please Stand Up For Jesus Christ The King 

Knowing That You Do Not Stand Alone! 

Peace!

Physical Satisfaction Won't Appease Our Spiritual Desire!

What Is The Point Of Having Everything That 

Your Stony Aka Carnal Heart Desires 

At Your Very Fingers To Use And Abuse

Refuse, Keep, Share, And Discard 

According To Your Will 

And 

Be Totally Empty On The Inside

Having No Hope

No Eternal Future

No God-Designed And God-Given Expected End!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Almighty God's Property 

By Creation 

And

By Redemption! 

We Do Not Have The Right To Destroy 

What Is Not Our Own! 

Why Would We

Knowing To Whom We Belong

What He Has Called Us To Be

And 

What He Has Done

Is Doing

And 

Will Do For Us

Walk Around Like Empty Shells 

And 

Willingly Choose To Eat The Husks That 

The Swine, The Pigs, The Porkers Gladly Eat 

When We May Comfortably Sit At The Kind King's Table 

And 

Have Him Delightedly Serve Us 

Because 

He Sacrificially Loves Us!?! 

Dear Ones, 

An Upward Look 

Followed By An Inward Cleanse 

Is 

In Order For All Of Us! 

Physical Satisfaction 

Will Never Appease A Spiritual Longing! 

The Lord Said So

So Let Us As His Dearly Beloved, Obedient, Children 

Get To The Springs Of Living Water 

And

Then Feed Substantially On The Bread Of Life! 

Almighty God's Grace Is Sufficient 

And

His Mercy Is Free 

And

Jesus Christ's Salvation 

Is 

Gifted To Me And To Thee! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Earthly Pleasures Vainly Call You! 

Peace!

The Word Works: The Truth Satisfies!

We Daily Need The Nourishment Of Food 

To Physically Stay Alive And Well! 

We Daily Need The Nourishment That

Is

The Living, Holy, Word, The Truth

If The Soul Is To Prosper 

And 

Have Spiritual Health And Well-Being! 

Beloved, 

While Picky Eating May Work In The Realm Of The Flesh 

And 

A Person May Survive On Biscuits While Ignoring 

The Extensive Array Of Good And Healthful Eats 

At The Daily Benefit The Body Buffet

We Cannot ... As Committed Christians 

Pick And Choose The Parts Of The Word Of God That We Like

Discard What We Disapprove

And 

Dismiss That With Which We Disagree! 

The Word Of God 

Is 

The Famine-Proof Assurance Of A Future Life Of Bliss Food 

For Whosoever Freely, Willingly, Eats With Love And Gratitude 

From The Lord's Glorious Gift Of Said Food Known Good For Us 

At Every Age, Stage, And Station Of Life! 

We May Not Always Immediately Love Or Enjoy Certain Calls

Claims, Corrections 

Commissions Or Charges We See In Or Hear Of In The Word 

But

If We Truly Love The Lord Jesus Christ, Our Savior Dear

Whom We Know Loves Us Each Sacrificially

We Will Accept The Living Word 

Knowing That It Comes From The Lord Of Life 

Who Will Never Hurt Or Deceive Us! 

The Living, Holy, Word Works 

So Let It, By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth

Have Its Blessed Way Aka Do Its Appointed Work In Your Life! 

I Beseech Us All 

To Allow Ourselves To Acquire The Taste, The Desire,l

For The Eternal Things Of Almighty God Today! 

Never Ever Forget That Only The Truth Satisfies The Soul! 

Peace!

"No!" From Our Almighty God Is A Blessing!

A Proper Parent Does Not Give A Child 

Whatever Their Eyes Or Heart Desires 

Just Because There Is Rage

Tears, Pleading, Or Professed "Need!" 

Our Father In Heaven 

Is 

The Proper Parent Plus 

Because 

He Is Up Above Our Heads Seeing All 

And 

Knowing All Things: 

He Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves! 

Our Heavenly Father Knows Our Motivations 

And

He Knows What Is Best For Us 

And

Whether A Thing Is Profitable To Or For Us Now, Later Or Ever! 

Our Kind And Loving God Almighty 

Does Things Either Suddenly 

Or Eventually 

Or Never 

And

No Matter If He Does Or Doesn't Do Or Give Us A Thing

We Should Praise Him Continually Because Of Love 

And 

Not For Loaves And Fishes 

Aka Miracles Of Obvious Abundance Or Favor! 

Beloved, 

Love Must Of Necessity 

And 

For The Perfection Of Our Character Say 

"No!" "Wait!" Or "Lean On Me!" 

Aka "My Grace Is Sufficient For You!" 

And

We, Knowing That The Lord's Love For Us 

Is 

Sacrificial, Eternal

Should Utter A Patient, Enduring, Love-Returned, Faith-Reposed: 

"I Trust You, Father!

Let Thy Will Be Done!" 

The Father Told Our Lord Jesus, His Only Begotten Son  

"No!" 

When He Was In His Agonies 

Prior To The Cross 

And

That Response Purchased For Us Salvation From Self

Sin, Death, The Grave, And Hell! 

What Is The "No!" From The Lord Saving You From 

Or Buying For You Today!?! 

Are You Grateful!?! 

Let's Yield To The Holy Spirit Today 

And 

Joy In The Fact That We Are Greatly Loved 

And 

Infinitely Blessed! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

Your Character Determines Your Destination!

A Gentle Reminder ...

There Is Nothing That We Can Do 

That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord! 

There Is Nothing That Happens To The Faithful Child Of God 

That Happens Without The Lord's Knowledge And Consent: 

All Things Work For Our Good 

And 

For Almighty God's Great Glory ... Be Not Dismayed! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Will Take Care Of Us 

Because 

He Sacrificially Loves Us 

And

He Will Never Forget Us Who Are His Very Own

His Peculiar Treasure! 

Beloved, 

We Are Reminded That 

The Same God Who Provides For The Little Sparrow 

Who Is Worth A Penny In The Market-Place 

Will Always Provide For Us, You And Me 

For Whom He Bled And Died 

On The Shameful, Cruel, Cross Of Calvary! 

Please Ever Keep In The Fore-Front Of Your Thoughts That 

It Is Through Trial And Tribulation

Through The Perfecting Of Our Character 

That We Will Ascend To The Heights Of Glory: 

Your Character Determines Your Destination!  

Please Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand

And 

Look Up

For Soon Comes The Glad Day! 

Our Redemption Is Drawing Ever Nearer! 

Be Strong In The Lord 

And

In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Obedience And Almighty God's Choicest Blessings!

 

Asked For Or Not

The Lord Jesus Christ Blesses All Of Us 

Every Single Day That We Breathe 

Because 

We Are Alive 

And

He Sacrificially Loves Each One Of Us ... Personally! 

But, Beloved

Has It Yet Dawned Upon Your Consciousness That 

The Choicest Blessings Of The Lord God Almighty Are Reserved 

For Those Who Choose To Walk 

In Complete, Plain-To-All, Obedience 

To His Will 

And 

In His Holy Way!?! 

Living In Obedience

Puts Us Squarely In The Beautiful Garden Of Amazing Grace

Where Unmerited Favor 

Is 

Found In Ordered Abundance 

And 

Not In Maybe-Fragments And Possible-Traces! 

We Have The Shepherd Of Rest

Our Refuge And Strength

The Anchor For Our Souls

The Tabernacle Of Gold

The Shelter In The Time Of Storm

Our Rock Of Refuge

Our Perfect Peace

The King Of Love

Our Redeemer Who Lives 

And 

Will Return To Grant His Enduring 

And Faithful 

And Obedient Children 

Immortality And Incorruptibility 

And 

A Personal Eternal Home 

Prepared Personally By His Holy Hand 

In Sweet Beulah Land! 

Almost Obedient Is Complete Disobedience! 

Almost Humble Is Totally Proud! 

Almost Truthful Is Completely Lying! 

Almost Selfless Is Supremely Selfish! 

Remember This ... 

Being Almost Christian Is Like Being Almost Pregnant! 

Almost Doesn't Count: 

You're Either All In Or You're Completely Out! 

If You Truly Believe The Living Word

You Will Be Willingly Obedient! 

If You Are Enduringly  Faithful: 

Then You Will Be Eternally Blessed! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please See To It That 

Your Known Sins You Daily Confess! 

Peace Be Upon You!

SIN: Cut-Back Or Cut-Out

Are You Living A Consistent Christian Aka Godly Life!?! 

If Some Contrary-To-Righteousness Act Had Been Performed 

And 

Your Name Is Called For It

Would Anybody Say "False Accusation!" 

In Your Behalf!?! 

Are You Using The "Weakness" Of Your Flesh 

To Excuse The Weakness Of 

Your Faith In The Lord Christ 

And 

His Ability To Bring You Perfected 

Before The Father's Throne!?! 

Are You Living The Life Of Riley 

Aka The Care-Free, Careless

Reckless, Do-As-I-Please Life Under The Lie That 

Makes You A Cut-Back-On-Sin Christian!?! 

Are You, Living A Just Life 

And 

Being Merciful 

Emulating The Life Of Christ In All Of Its Beauty

A Cut-Out-Sin Christian!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Called To Perfection Which Demands That 

We Firmly Walk Away From Sin Aka Lawlessness

From Everything That Defiles 

To Become Perfect Even As Our Father In Heaven 

Is 

Perfect! 

We Are Not Here 

To Comfort Our Lustful Flesh With Riotous Living 

But 

To Be Cleansed

Made Right With Almighty God

Completed In Jesus Christ

Perfected In Love That Will Not Let Us Go

As We Sacrificially Love 

And 

Willingly Serve The Lord Of Life! 

Let's Dare To Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

And 

Choose Not To Do The P.E.G-Leg Thing 

Aka Don't Let Pride, Envy, And Greed 

Derail Our Journey To Our Promised 

And 

Provided Eternal Blessings! 

Let's Remember That It Is Faith

- Not Flesh - 

That Blesses Us On The Way To Our Eternal Home! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Make Peace, Sue For For Peace: Live In Peace!

The Truth Sets Mankind Free!

Beloved, 

We Have The Choice To Make: 

Yield To The Prompting Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

And 

Let Our Our Path ... Our Steps Through Life

Be Designed, Ordered 

And 

Directed By The Lord Of Life Who Loves Us 

So That We Can Make Peace With The Past

Be At Peace In The Present

And 

Live Eternally At Peace With That Faithful Lord Of Life 

In The Certain Future 

OR 

We Can Continue To Be Willfully Unwise 

And 

Bungle Our Way Through Life 

And

Be Perpetually Miserable ... Having No Hope! 

With Our Future Estate Determined By Our Present Actions

Let's Realize That We Are Weak 

And 

Need Help From The Only One 

Who Sacrificially, Infinitely
Unswervingly Loves Us Personally 

And 

Intimately! 

Denounce Pride ...

Let's Humble Ourselves 

And 

Call On The Maker

Our Master, Lord, God And King 

Who Hears Our Pitiful Cries

Cares For Us

And 

Always Answers Our Prayers! 

"No!" Is An Answer:
If We Received Every Last Thing We Asked For
We Would Be Miserable Indeed!

Subjugate Arrogancy ...

Our Days ... Our Years

Are In Almighty God's Holy, Blessed
Preserving, Providing
Ever-Faithful Hands
So Let Us Never Forget
- Let Us Ever Remember -
That We Have The Blessed Hope!

You Need Help: Ask For It!

Pray A Prayer ...

Jesus Christ Saves! 
Let's Run To Him!
Let's Walk With Him
And 
Let's Work Diligently 
And 
Faithfully For Him

And
Rest Assured That

We Will Be Blessed Today And Forever! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Thou, Lord, Seest Me! + PRAYER ... For The Sick!

Beloved, 

We Have The God Of Grace 
And 
The God Of Glory As Our Holy God 
Who Helps, Heals 
And Restores
And Lifts Up 
And Elevates 
All Who Are Willing To Love 
And 
Trust, Worship, Obey
And 
Totally Depend Upon Him For Saving Grace! 

The Only Way That We May Fail To Receive Help
From The Lord Of Life
Is
When We Permit Working Faith
To Dissolve Into Decimating Doubt
And
We Turn Away From Lively Truth
And
Distrust Him Who Created, Preserves 
And
Provides For
And
Protects Us
And
Saves Us
And 
Ultimately Redeems Us To Himself!

Brethren,

Please Never Forget That
We Have The God Who Feels Whatever We Feel
Who Needs No One To Carry Him!
Our God Loves Us Each Personally And Sacrificially
And
No Created Being
No Circumstance
Can Separate Us From His Abiding Love!

PRAYER:

Father,

Today, I Bring Vannie, Lynn

Carey, Emmanuel, Doris

And

My Own Son, Galen

Plead In The Name Of Our Jesus

Your Beloved Only Son

For The Healing That You, Alone

Father,

We Bow Before Your Holiness

Knowing That You Have Granted Us

A Blessed Privilege

A Matchless Gift Of Your Heavenly Love! 

Thank You, Lord

For Coming Down To Our Level

And

Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit

On Us Who Believe

The Blood-Bought Promises

And

Bless Us To Ever Praise Jesus

And

Glorify Your Great Name!

Please Let The Holy Angels Attend Us

And

Please Grant Us Your Peace

For We Ask These Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

The Name That Is Above Every Name!

AMEN!

THE PERSONAL INVITATION: Cast Your Every Care On Jesus Christ The Lord!

What A Delightsome Privilege It Is To Know Of 

And 

To Be Able To Approach The Throne Of Grace 

- Where Sits The Eternal God
The Consuming Fire - 

And 

Cast Our Burden ... Our Every Care

Upon The Lord Of Life 

Who Sacrificially Loves Each One Of Us Personally 

And 

Infinitely! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Acknowledge How Truly Blessed You Are 

To Have A Personal, Open, Private Invitation 

To Appear Before The King Who Is Also The Judge

- Without Ungodly Fear - 

To Tell Him All That Concerns You 
And
Without Risk Of Condemnation 
Because Your Life Fall Seriously Short Of 
His Holy Standard Of Perfection! 

The Lord Can't Lie ...

Please Do Not Permit Anyone To Convince You That 

You Must Be Clean Before You Can Go To Our King
Because

Our King Accepts All Who Desire To Be In His Presence 

No Matter Our Prevailing Condition! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood ... Spilt On Calvary 

Makes Our Lives

- Filthy With Repeated Sin - 

Clean And White As The Driven Snow! 

Remember ... 

In Christ Jesus 
Is 
Our Perfect Peace

And

The Only Haven 
Where True Rest For Our Weary, Wandering Souls Is Found! 

Please Don't Be Prideful: 

Cease Your Wondering Over Your Load Of Sin 

And 

Boldly Walk To The Throne 

And 

Find God's Grace To Help You In Your Time Of Need! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Calling To You: 

Cast Your Burden On Him 
And 
Be Blessed Forever! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Cooperate With Christ

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Enjoy Eternal Life!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Real Pleasure

Have You Ever Considered By Recognition That 
The Holy One Jesus Christ ... Our Creator

The Great And Glorious King Of The Universe

Is 
Trusting You, Personally

To Do A Job Of Work For Him

And

Is Equipping You ... Teaching You

Feeding You ... Strengthening You

Correcting You ... Guiding You

And 
Loving You Lavishly To Bless You
