VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Know What I Want, No, Uh, Need!?!

 

I Know What I Want, But I Need What The Lord Jesus Has For Me! Which Desire Shall Win The Lord Already Knows, But I Need To Find Out And Designate It! Lord, Help!

Come On, Saira, You Know Right From Wrong, Truth From Error, Need From Want, AND, Most Importantly, You Well Know That Any Gift Given To You From Our Lord Jesus Is Best And Blessed, No Sorrow To Follow!

That Is True, Gabby, But I ...!

... Stop Right There, Saira! There Is No "But" When It Comes To Our Trusting The Lord For And In All That Concerns Us And Our Well-Being!

I Know, Gabby, But ...! 

... There You Go Again Butting! Are You A Goat Of The Hard-Head Persuasion!?!

No, Gabby, It Is Just That ...! 

... Father, Preserve Us! 

Saira, Pick One: Apple, Orange, Or Banana!

Do You Have Granny Smith, MacIntosh, Or Red Delicious Apples!?!

They Are MacIntosh Apples!

Are The Oranges Blood, Juice, Bitter, Or Navel!?!

Are You For Real!?!

Yes, I Am! I Have Standards, You Know!

Okay, They Are Navel Oranges! 

Are The Bananas Lady Finger, Apple Banana, Or Big Mike Bananas!?!

They Are Apple Bananas!

I Do Not Like Any Of Those Choices So I Can't Make A Decision! 

Lord, Save Us! 

Brethren, This ... This Is A Classic Example Which Demonstrates Why Most Of Us Will Never Get To Enter The Land Where We Won't Cast Shadows! 

Would You Like To Explain That Remark, Gabby!

Gladly, Saira! 

The Lord Jesus, Our Very Creator, The Life Giver, Offers And Makes Available, And Easily Accessible, Free-To-All Salvation, And Most Of Us, Like Our Saira, For Example, Instead Of Accepting The Gift Without Price Or Equal From The Only Wise God, Proceed To Have "Standards" And Offer The Lord Their "Specifications" While Failing Or Neglecting To Realize ...! 

... You Mean Pridefully Fronting With Nothing, Gabby!

I Was Trying To Be Delicate, Delia! 

Well, You Failed! 

Okay, Moving On Smartly! 

We Fall Short Of The Lord's Glory, Have Nothing To Offer To Save Ourselves, And, Yet, We Have Demands, Non-Negotiables, And Red Lines For The Lord ... He Who Gives The Breath Of Life! Would Somebody Make This Make Sense!?!

You're Asking For The Impossible, Gabby! 

Do You Have Anything To Say Besides "Sorry, Lord!" Saira!?! 

Hearing How You've  Laid It Out, Gabby, Makes Me Sound And Feel Like A Real Ingrate!

We All Need To Accept That Charge, Saira, Because That Is Exactly How We All Behave, Or Have Behaved, Before We Acknowledged Our Bankrupt Behavior And Confessed Our Sin With A Heartfelt Repentance To Our Father In The Name Of His Son, Our Savior, Jesus! Scripture Speaks Truly About Us!

How So, Sue!?!

It Asks, "What Can A Man Pay To Redeem His Soul!?!" 

You Know That It Takes A Truly Weighty Pair Of Brasses To Tell The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh, The Creator, That His Gift Has Gaps, And That His Glory Ain't All That! 

Lord, Forgive Our Foolishness Even As You, In Mercy, Remember Our Frame!

 AMEN!!!

Whatever The Lord Has For Us Is Perfectly Perfect! 

That's Not True, Trent! 

What Do You Mean, Manny!?! 

Perfectly Perfect Suggests The Possibility That lt Could Have Been Perfectly Imperfect: Both Are Made-Man Constructs! 

Let Us Use The Lord's Words To Us About His Gifts For Us! Almighty God's Gifts To Us Are Good And ... Perfect ... No Qualification! 

Gabby!?! 

Yes, Saira!?! 

I Will Take An Apple, A Banana, And An Orange! 

Greedy, Much!?! 

The Lord Giveth Grandly And I Accepteth Gladly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace, People! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Imagine This ... If You Dare!

 

I Double-Dog Dare You Miserable Wretches ...! 

... Wait, Who She Calling Miserable Wretches!?! 

Cloris Is Calling Us, Her Dear Friends, By That Appellation, Norbert! 

I Ain't Neither Miserable Nor A Wretch, Nancy! 

You're Wrong Twice, Norbie! 

Explain Yourself, Nancy! 

I Surely Will, My Friend! We Belong To The Laodicean Church So We Are Miserable: Our Jesus Said So In Revelation Chapter Three! 

The Apostle Paul Said In Romans 7:24: “O Wretched Man that I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death?” 

You See, The Romans Had A Thoroughly Nasty Penchant For Attaching A Dead Body To Someone Who They In Turn Wanted To Dispatch With Prejudice, So He Was Painting A Picture For His Audience Which They Would Understand While Showing That We Were In Dying Bodies Ourselves Because Of Our Sinful Condition By Nature, And Nurture Aka Our Training And Practice! 

I Am Sure That That Ghastly Practice Was Inspired By Demons, Norbie! 

And I Agree With You, Nancy! But Why Was Cloris Speaking Like That!?! 

She Is Angry, And So Should We Be, Because The Lord Is Good To And For Us, And Instead Of Us Being Grateful And Thankful, We Crucify Him Afresh, Sabotage His Work, And Bring Him To An Open Shame! 

Do You Know What The Lord Does Instead Of Destroying Us Or Helping Us To Destroy Ourselves For Our Base Ingratitude!?! 

Tell Me, Norbie! Tell Me What I Should Already Know! 

Willie-Sue, Our Lord Jesus Made, Makes A Way, Shows, Offers, Invites Us To Apply To Be A Part Of His Team - No Tricks, No Traps - By His Holy Spirit Who Will Surely Lead Us Into All Truth! 

So What Is The Problem With That, Norbie!?! 

The Problem, Clammy-Cherry, Is That We Are So Caught Up In Appearances, And Titles, And Compensation Potential That We Reject What Lasts Forever For That Which Can't Last No Matter How It Is Framed And Funneled! 

Do You Remember That Expression Which Says: "Beauty Fades But Ugly Lasts Forever!?!" 

Of Course, Nancy! 

You Do Know That It's A Lie When Spiritually Applied! 

How So!?! 

The Ugliness Of Sin Cannot Last Forever Because Sin Will Not Arise A Second Time In The Earth Made New! 

Secondly, The Beautiful Gospel Of Truth Which Speaks Of The Beautiful Savior Lasts Forever Because Our Jesus, Our Savior, Died Once For All Mankind, His Body Never Saw Corruption, And He Now Lives Forever! 

His Beauty Will Grow More Beautiful To Us During The Ceaseless Years Of Eternity Because We Who Believe To The End, And Are Rewarded With Everlasting Life At The Last Trumpet, Will Look Upon Him Through Truly Seeing Eyes Of Cumulative Holy Love! 

I Like That Word-Picture, Norbie! 

Cloris, I Agree With You And Have One Thing To Add For All Of Us! 

Let Us Not Permit Pride To Cause Us To Try To Purchase Pre-Paid Free-To-Anyone Tickets On The Day After The Request-Accept-By Date! 

There Shall Be Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth ... With Fierce Regret! 

Oh, That Land Of Regret Where Everyone Stands Alone! 

Cloris, It's Time To Talk To Jesus:  I Am A Miserable Wretch And Only The Lord Jesus Can Fix Me! 

I'm With You, Willie-Sue! 

Regret And Salvation Are One-On-One Encounters So Let Us Permit Our Now-Present, Positively Actionable Regret Over Our Known Sin Pilot Us To Salvation-From-Sin Purchased For Us By Our Dear Savior's Sacrifice!

AMEN!!! 

I Love It, Love It, Love It: Let Regret Serve The Higher Purpose ... When It Matters! 

Peace! 

 

 

Satan Is A Teacher, Too!?!

 

... Humans Learn More From Trouble! You're Not Going To Like What I'm About To Say, But Nevertheless, I'm Still Going To Say It: I Have Learned, I Have Been Taught, Some Unintended And Valuable Lessons ... By Satan! 

Shut Your Mouth, Elowen! 

Why, Cloveen!?! For Speaking The Truth!?! Don't You Know That Even Liars Must Tell The Truth At Some Point In Time!?! Don't You Know That Even Those Who Would Destroy You Teach You Great Lessons ... If You Are Willing To Learn Them!?! 

So What Are These "Great" Lessons And "Truths" That The Piercing Serpent, The Roaring Lion, The Lord Of Dung, The Adversary Of Souls Has Taught You, Elowen!?! 

I'm Glad You Asked, Shari! The Lord's Enemy, Our Enemy, The Adversary Of Our Purchased Souls, Satan The Damned, Has Plainly, Efficiently, And Effectively Taught Me That Covetousness, Envy, Greed, Deceit, Lying, Malice, Narcissism, Obsession, And Self-Worship, Self-Absorption, Have No Place In The Life Of An Ambassador, A Soldier, For Christ! 

He Has Also Taught Me About Keeping My Eye On The Prize, On "Playing" The Long Game, On Devotion To Duty, On Commitment To The Cause That I Wholeheartedly Believe In! 

You Can't Be Serious, Elowen! 

Yes, I Am, Caprice! That Wretch Satan Has Unintentionally, I Am Sure, Taught Me That No Matter The Setbacks, No Matter The Failures, I Must Press On To My Goal With Single-Minded Focus! 

I Am Not Hearing This, Elowen! 

You Better Listen, Caprice! Let Me Ask You This, Then: Isn't It Possible To Learn Something Positive And Preserving From A Negative And Destructive Element And Occurrence!?! 

Of Course, We Can! 

So Why Can't We Learn From Satan's Antics!?! 

Ah, Umm, Well ... It Is ... Well ...! ... How Deep!?! 

Friends, The Lord Said That With Getting Wisdom, We Should Also Get Understanding! Understanding Demands That We Learn Two Great Truths: 

First, That What The Lord Means For Good And For Our Salvation, Satan Will Pervert For Evil And For Our Destruction! 

Secondly, The Lord Plainly Teaches Us What To Do For Abundant Life, Good Health, And Spiritual Elevation, While Satan Teaches Us ... Under Camouflage ... How To Destroy Ourselves With Our Own Thoughts, Words, And Deeds Via Self-Glorification, And Self-Aggrandizement! 

Through Truth, The Lord Teaches Us How To Get Into The Living Kingdom! 

Via Deceit, Satan Teaches Us How To Be Excluded From The Glorious Kingdom: He Is The Exemplar For Those Who Choose To Reject Christ's Free To All Salvation! 

But, Most Importantly, The Best Lesson That Satan Has Taught Me Is That The Word Of The Living God Is True, And To Stick To, To Stand Up For, To Choose To Be Sanctified By The Savior, And To Faithfully Wait With Patient Endurance To Be Sealed At The Appointed Hour By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth, And To Not Create My Own "Heaven" By Known Feigned Aka False Wisdom! 

Sin Slays! 

Salvation Serves And Seals, And By These I Know That I Cannot Lose With Our Lord Jesus! 

Elowen, Dear Heart, I Like How Your Mind Works: You Just Taught Me A Thing! Bless The Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Eternal Attributes Are At Work To Bless Us!

Almighty God, In The Person Of Jesus Christ 

Our Loving Lord And Savior

Is

Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent

Infallible And Immutable

And

All Of These Eternal Attributes Are Available And In Play

Working For Our Salvation! 

Do You Believe It!?! 

Do You Trust The Word And The Works Of

Him Who Makes It So For You Personally ... Intimately!?! 

Do You Understand, Accept

As You With Godly Desire Permit The Holy Spirit

To Prepare You To Be A Sanctuary For Him

Who Is The Awesome God! 

By The Holy Spirit's Rule

Do Not Permit Presumptuous Sin

To Have Dominion Aka Rule Over You! 

Read Your Bible And Rout Out Bad Habits

And

Overcome Sin By Chapter Or By One Verse At A Time! 

Choose To Learn From The Mistakes Of Others

And

Do Not Say To Yourself That 

You Would Never Commit "That Sin" 

Because

Well ... You! 

Pride Goes Before The Fall 

And

Dare I Add ... A Broken Tail-Bone! 

Fellow Believer, 

Please Do Not Ever Think That

Your Dear Savior's Ability Is Like That Of The Little Engine

Who Thought He Could Do 'It!' 

Our Lord Jesus Is The Great I AM! 

He Told Moses To Say To His People: 

"I AM That I AM!" 

He Told His Adversaries In Jerusalem: 

"Before Abraham Was, I AM!" 

And

They Tried To Kill Him! 

It Didn't Change The Truth!

Let Us Hold Fast To The Extended Hand Of

Hope, Help, Healing, Salvation, Justification

Sanctification, Redemption ... Glorification!

Dare To Be A Peculiar Person

And

Walk As One Wise For Your Own Self

By Attaching Yourself, Your Hope For Your Future

To The Holy God Who, Alone, Is Wise:

It Is He Who Gives You True Wisdom ... And Understanding! 

Boldly Dismiss The Urge To Grasp At This Life's Straws

And

Go, Instead, For The Gold Tried In The Fire! 

Beloved,

Please Clothe Yourself In White Raiment That 

"He Who Turns The Tide" Sells ... For Free! 

Avail Yourself Of The Eye-Salve That 

He, The Great Physician, Your Creator

Provides For Healing Your Sight, Your Vision

Your Look-See

So That You Are Not Fooled By Fripperies

The Cheap Thingies Masquerading As Substance

When They Are Just Smoke And Mirrors

Fair-Ground Junk! 

And Lest We Overlook It  ... 

Plead With The Lord To Relieve You Of 

The Wiggling Worms Of Wasting Worldly Wonder That 

Cause You To Have Itching Ears For What Is Not Food

For The Soul Hungering For Christ's Righteousness! 

Dear Ones, 

Dare To Walk Firmly On The Strait Path 

On The Narrow Way 

Because 

The Waymaker Will Be With You

Be It On The Altar Of Sacrifice

Or Pushing The Plow Working Unweariedly 

For The Soul Salvation Of Others! 

Joy Comes In The Morning: 

Do Not Fear: 

The Lord Gave You A Spirit Of Power

Of Love And Of A Sound Mind! 

Believe, Beloved! 

Look Unto Our Lord Jesus Christ

And

Live Now To Live Eternally!

Peace Be Upon You! 

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Internal Monster!

Brother Mac, What Does It Mean To Be Jealous Of Someone!?!

Sammy, To Be Jealous Is To Hungrily Desire

Something That Someone Has! 

Better Stated, Your Jealousy Is Actually Your Resentment Of 

Their Have And Your Have Not! 

If That Is The Case, Bro. Mac,

Then What Would It Mean To Be Jealous Of Yourself!?!

Oh, My, Nat-Nat, You're Calling Out The Big Gun!

Let's Do A Comparison:

Lucifer Was Jealous Of Our Lord Jesus:

He Evilly, Sinfully, Desired The Position, Power, And Praise That

Our Jesus Had ... By Right! 

Now, If Lucifer Had Resented, Hated

Or Had Self-Loathing For His Inappropriate, Sinful Desire

His Inward Longing For Desiring What Was Not His To Have Or To Hold

He Would Not Have Started The War In Heaven

When He Sought To Undermine His Maker!

In This Light, And Rightly Used

Being Jealous Of Yourself

Is To Hate What You're Feeling

And

Choosing To Walk Away From The Direction That

Your Unchecked Feeling - Your Internal Monster - 

Created By Virtue Of Our Fore-Parents' Sin Aka Their Lawlessness

And, Instead, Sought As In Ran After Your Savior For Your Salvation!

Wow, Bro. Mac, That's Deep!

Yes, Hopper, So Let's Look In The Good Book At Proverbs 6:34 

To Prove Our Point! 

For Jealousy Is The Rage Of A Man:

Therefore He Will Not Spare

In The Day Of Vengeance.

Now, Let Us Also Look At Proverbs 14:30! 

A Sound Heart Is The Life Of The Flesh:

But Envy The Rottenness Of The Bones.

Envy Aka Jealousy Is A Destructive Force 

Which Ruins The One Who Is Not Contented With

Not Appreciative Of What They Have!

It Is A Form Of Self-Worship, Which Is Idolatry

Which Is A Sin Against Almighty God

Which Is How Lucifer Destroyed Himself! 

He Did It A Second Time As Satan

When He Had Jesus Killed On Earth! 

Lord, Help Us!

Brethren, 

Do You Believe That Being Jealous

Showing Resentment, Indulging Envy 

Was, Is, And Will Be A Good Thing!?! 

Bro. Mac, I Am Offering A Whole Long Sentence For Everyone Here: 

"NO!" 

AMEN!!! 

Beloved, 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith That Purifies The Soul

Choose To Live Lives Contented ... In Christ! 

May His Peace Be Ever Our Own! 

AMEN!!! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 

We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 

And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall

Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 

And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 

Pay Attention! 

If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 

Having To Interact With Someone 

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil

And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 

Their Practiced Wickedness

And They Don't Seem To Care That 

There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations

And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 

Is Surely Going To End

Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 

Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 

And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 

The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 

That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 

I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 

If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 

At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment

And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 

If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 

Seeing Someone Behave Like That 

Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil

Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View

And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 

About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 

And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 

Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 

Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan

Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 

Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 

What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself

And For The Brethren

And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 

Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 

Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 

Please Protect Us From The Evil One 

And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 

In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 

Grant Us Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Big Box Christianity!?!

Psalm 18:35 KJV

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 

Damnation Is In My I's! 

Salvation Is In His Eyes! 

Are You A Greedy Person!?! 

I Was And Still Am

But For A Different Reason 

And Toward The Real God 

So It's Not Greed But Godly Longing 

Which I Know Will See Its Truest Fulfillment 

In The Great And Glorious Day! 

Do You Remember Big, Bigger, Biggest

The Three Boxes, No Marks

Just Size Differential 

And 

You Were Asked To Pick A Box, Any Box

And 

What Did You Do!?! 

You Went For The Biggest Box 

And 

Got A Big Box Filled With Paper 

And 

A Small, Cheap, Not Beautiful Toy That 

Broke Almost Immediately! 

The Person Who Went For The Mid-Sized Box 

Got Something A Little Bit Better

Not Spectacular ... But Better 

But

The Person Who Was Left The Only Option Called Why Bother

Opened It Gratefully

Glad To Get Anything At All

And 

Found That They Had Gotten The Brass Ring That Was Pure Gold

The Dirty-Looking, Crumpled Piece Of Paper That 

Was A Real Honest To Goodness $5.0And 

A Tightly Folded Invitation To The Tea Party

Paid For In Full! 

Wow! 

So Much For Having Big, Greedy, Covetous Eyes 

Always Looking I-Full 

But 

Getting The Awfuls! 

Beloved, 

That's Just How It Is With Our Lives! 

Boxes! 

However, Since We Consider Ourselves To Be Bright Sparks

Brilliant Sophisticates

The Road To Damnation ... The Biggest Box

Is 

Gaudily Wrapped, Heavy With Moon-Shot Promises

But 

Found In Reality 

To Be Cheap, Broken

A Costly Embarrassment For Us To Experience 

And 

The Laughing World To See! 

But 

Don't Lose Hope! 

Seeing Someone With A Grateful Heart Accept 

The Little Box Of Salvation

- The Grand And Glorious Gift - 

With Love And Gratitude 

Should Cause You, Me, Us To Do A Rethink

A Re-Evaluation

And 

Change Our Stinking Thinking! 

Will You Do It!?! 

I-Full Ain't A Belly Full 

So Don't Fill Up On Fumes! 

Dear Ones, 

Forget The Shadows Of Satan 

And 

Go For The Substance That Is Our Savior

And

Free Yourself From The Scourge That 

Is 

The Big Box Of Sin! 

Beloved, 

Please Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Almighty God 

In Christ Jesus Our Loving Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is It!?!

KJV Luke 11:13

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Beloved, 

Truth Is Like Water And Wind! 

You Can't Live Without It ... Them! 

Truth, Water, And Wind Are For Hydration, Cooling, And Cleansing! Water Finds Its Own Level

Wind Will Find A Pin-Hole

And 

Truth Frees! 

Dear Ones, 

Whatever The Reason We Find Truth

We Will Always Be Impacted By It

Be It For Good Or Ill! 

Bottom Line ... 

We Live And We Lie And We Die 

But

Truth Can Never Lie Or Die 

Because 

Truth Is! 

Sin Finds Its Own Level! 

We Can Live Without Sin 

But

We Cannot Live Without Truth! 

Without Truth, Everything Created Ceases To Be! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life Aka A Use By Date 

And Because Truth Is Self-Evident

Sin Only Exists Because Of Obfuscation Aka Lies! 

Lies Cannot Stand In The Face Of Truth 

So It Attempts To Run Rings Around It 

But

Every Right-Thinking Person Well Knows That 

When One Runs In Rings Aka Circles Long Enough

The Circles Start To Wobble

And Then Get Smaller And Smaller 

Until The Ring-Maker Circle-Runner Runs Smack-Dab 

Into ... Inescapable ... Truth! 

Looka Dem Apples! 

People, People, Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 

He Made Us And Not We Ourselves! We Are His Twice, By Creation And Redemption

So Let Us Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation 

And

Let Us Shuck Ourselves Of Old Satan's Lies 

And 

Immerse Ourselves In The Truth By The Water And The Wind 

Both Of Which Are Symbols For The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into Truth 

... Unto Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King

Our Hope, Our Help

And

Our Sure Salvation! 

Ever Remember This, Dear Ones: 

Water Fills The Available Space

And 

Wind Enters The Opening You Give Or Make 

Aka The Holy Spirit Will Meet You Where You Are 

And 

Fill You And Help You To Get Rid Of Your Trash Called Sin 

Because 

You Desire It! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Let Your Fire, Your Holy Spirit, Fall Upon Us 

As We Pray And Trust In You Today! 

Lead Us Into All Truth As Is Your Will For Us! 

AMEN. 

Peace! 

https://youtu.be/1h2TRFEiZoQ?si=PJTlOCGIsNuGsUgw

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open Our Eyes, Lord!

 

The Lord Jesus Christ Is Trying To Help Us 

To Abundantly Live In Him Now

And 

Then Eternally With Him! 

We Must Choose To Cooperate With Him 

Through The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, 

All That He Is Asking Of Us 

Is 

That We Accept The Draught From Heaven's Bottle Of 

Easily Digestible Loving Kindness, Blessing, And Grace! 

Truth Being Always Told

We Are Choosing, Instead, To Self-Cure

Self-Comfort And Self-Control 

By Ill-Advisedly Imbibing From The Rancid Cask Of 

Do-Me Willful Human Blindness 

Which Carries No Spiritual Nourishment 

But 

Is Filled To Overflowing With The Empty Calories Of Lawlessness ... Of Sin

Which Makes Us Fat And Easy To Overcome 

By Our Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools

Aka No One Who Says That There Is No God

In The Lord's Living Kingdom Of Light! 

Since We Actively Say To All That We Believe That 

The Lord Can Do A Great Thing For Us Here And Now

Should We Not, Here And Now, Show Our Faith And Trust 

By Willingly Doing What The Lord Is Asking Us To Do 

To Truly Help Ourselves!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The One-Mile Walk To Surpassing Glory 

Starts With Our First Step Toward Jesus Christ, Our Only Savior! 

Salvation Is Free 

But

All Potential Recipients 

Must Willingly Accept The Package 

And

Eagerly Open It 

And

Wisely Use The Gift: 

This Is Self-Service Only! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Remember 

And

Never Forget That Man-Wrought Salvation 

Is 

The Devil's Only Delight 

Because 

It Leads To Man's Sure Damnation! 

Please Let Jesus Christ Aka The Great Physician

The Prince Of Peace

Fix And Heal You By His Saving Grace! 

Pray Fervently ... And Touch Your King 

Who Was Touched To Save You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There's A Thing ...!

KJV Proverbs 14:34

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When You Were A Silly Child

Do You Remember You Or Your Mates Pelting 

Aka Throwing "Rock-Stones" On The Ground, At Walls

At Anything Convenient

And, Perhaps

Having That Rock-Stone Fly Back At You, Or One Of Your Mates Real Hard 

And 

Smack The Snot Out Of Them!?! 

It Was Shocking And It Hurt So, So, Soo, Badly! 

Sin Does That! 

Dear Ones, 

Just Like A Tongue

No One Can Control Sin To Decide What It Does Or Who It Affects

Be It A Little Or A Whole Lot! 

Consider The Sewer Line! 

Everybody Takes It For Granted

Walking Around On Top Of It Unconcernedly

Uncaring, Unaware, Unimpressed, Unbothered 

Until That Sewer Line Backs Up And Belches 

Then Everybody An' 'e Bruddah Done Know What And Where It Is 

And 

What It Does

And 

Who It Affects 

And

Demands Release And Relief 

From Its Cruel Control By Stench! 

Beloved, 

Don't, Don't, Please Do Not Fool Yourself Into Believing That 

Sin Can't Do You Anything 

Because 

You Have It On A Short Leash! 

Old Cossie Had De Mule On A Short Leash 

And

It Still Kicked The Black Off Him! 

You've Been Warned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: True Beauty!

KJV Psalms 49:20

20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Beauty ... Exposed A Beast! 

The Beauty Of That Beast Called Lucifer, Renamed Satan

Wrought Pain For Me And Thee! 

To Rid Me And My Kind Of The Pain That Is Sin 

Which Causes Death And Ultimately Damnation

The Truly Beautiful Savior ... The Eternal God

Took Our Sin, Our Pain

Our Death

Our Damnation Into Himself

And 

Gave Us His Ineffaceable, Ineffable

Fadeless, Immortal, Incorruptible Beauty 

... If ... We Would But Ask 

Because 

It Is Free! 

Our Savior's Pain Purchased For Me, For You

For Us All Willing

True Beauty

The Kind Of Beauty Which Is Righteous

Holy, Grace-Filled 

And 

Comes Of Obtained Mercy 

Which Welcomes Us To The Throne 

And 

Seats Us At The Table Of The King Of Love! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Choice To Make 

Which Has An Inherent Challenge To Overcome! 

Are You Going To Party On Easy Street 

Or Live On Hard Way!?! 

Are You Going To Go Easy And Immoral 

To "Gain" Short-term Benefit To Please Your Lusts 

And 

Impress The Wicked And The Gullible 

Or Are You Going To Make The Hard Decision 

Which Gleans For You The Eternal Weight Of Glory 

As You Bless Your Savior With Your Obedience To His Will 

... Even As You Walk In His Way 

Blessing His Called And Chosen Ones 

Who Are Diligently Seeking His Face And His Extended Hand 

Which Bring Hope, Help And Healing

... As We Head, With The Endurance Of Faith

To Our Father's House 

Which Is Our Forever Home!?! 

Jesus Christ Is Love Is Beauty ... Beautiful! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Him Envelop You 

As You Bury Yourself In Him 

To Be Like Him Now, Today ... Forever! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fair Exchange!?!

KJV Zechariah 3:4

4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Fair Exchange Is Not Robbery! How, In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Can There Be A Fair Exchange When I Gave You Rocks That Are Diamonds And You Gave Me Rocks That Are, Errrm, Rocks!?! Don't Talk To Me About That! That Is A You-Problem! Ohhh, I See! My Bad! I Forgot, Just For A Moment, That We Were Demonstrating The Jesus And Sinner, Salvation And Sin, Savior And Saint Thing! Oh, Goodie! We Are All Caught Up! Beloved, Have You Ever Considered What It Is That Jesus Christ Has Done And Is Doing For Us When He Says "Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And Are Heavy Laden And I Will Give You Rest!?!" Aren't You Heavy Laden With Sin!?! Isn't Jesus Christ Swapping Out Your Sin And Replacing It With His Rest As In His Perfect Peace!?! Didn't Your Sin Kill Jesus!?! Doesn't His Rest Give You Everlasting Life!?! With That Said, Dear One, Why Would You Not Give All Of Your Sin To Jesus Instead Of Crucifying Him Afresh When You Turn Back To The Flesh-Pots Sitting Down To Eat And Getting Up To Play!?! Do You Not Understand That When Jesus Christ As Savior, Surety, Redeemer, Lord, God, King, And Friend Takes Your Rocks - Which Are Of Life-Extinguishing Weight - And Gives You His Diamonds Of The First Water Aka The Fruit Of His Holy Spirit, That You Are Acquiring All Gain And Thus, Suffering No Loss!?! Beloved, Every Thing That You Give Up For And To Our Lord Jesus Is Replaced By An Imperishable Good And Perfect Gift For Which There Is No Comparison! Come Now! Since Jesus Considers Your Temporal Give-Ups As Fair Exchange For His Eternal Give-To's, Does It Not Become You To Be Wise Unto Salvation For Your Own Self, And Go All In For The Eternal Win!?! Please Don't Be Faithless But Be Faithful, Trusting Him Who Cannot Lie To Give You The New Life Which Cannot Die! Believe The Promise Of The Living Word And Accept What You Cannot Lose But Can Be Thrown Away Through Doubt And Disobedience! Please, In The Name Of The Holy Jesus, Give Up Your Fig Leaves! Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Multiple-Domain WARFARE!

KJV Isaiah 41:13

13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

All Christians Must Be Able To Indulge Multiple-Domain Warfare 

Because 

We Will Suffer Attack From Three Sources Which We Must 

Boldly And Courageously Overcome ... By Almighty God's Amazing Grace!

Brethren, 

The Adversary Of Souls Will Attack Us 

Through The Same Three Domains 

Through Which He Attacked Our Blessed Jesus: 

The Lust Of The Flesh

The Lust Of The Eyes

And 

The Pride Of Life! 

Amazingly ... And Thankfully

We Are Able To Overcome Our Fearsome Enemy's Vicious And Unrelenting Attack 

In The Same Manner, Using The Same Weapon, That Our Beautiful Savior Did 

Aka The Word, The Living Word

The Eternal Word

The Infallible Word Of Almighty God! 

Of Note, Dear Ones, Is The Fact That The Word

The Weapon Of Our Warfare

Is Not Carnal 

And 

Is Only Useful To Us If We Know It

Understand It

Accept It

And 

Are Willing To Utilize It In All Spheres Of Our Activities 

On Our Earthly Sojourn! 

We Must Have Love, Faith, Hope

Obedience And Endurance 

Or The Word Will Not Work 

Aka Will Not Be Of A Benefit To Us! 

Ask The Lord For Wisdom 

And

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Where's Your TOE!?!

KJV Psalms 9:9-10

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Where's Your TOE!?! 

Why Is A Toe Called A Toe!?! 

Why Do We Have Big Toes, Great TOES

Or As Some People Call Them, Thumb Toes!?! 

Our Great Toe Aids Us In Our Ability To Walk Smoothly

And 

Helps Us To Balance! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember These Words:

 Walking And Balancing! 

In Our Christian Journey Walking With Christ Our Lord

Our Great TOE 

Is 

Our Trust, Obedience, And Endurance! 

Without Trust

We Will Not Obey The Word Or Endure The Battle! 

If We Lack Endurance

It Shows That Our Trust Is Not Sure

And 

If We Lack Obedience

Trust And Endurance Will Never See The Challenge! 

Brethren, 

Nobody In Their Right Mind 

Will Anchor Themselves By Their Little Aka Pinkie Toe 

But 

Will Depend On Their Great Toe

Their Load-Bearing Appendage Aka Digit

To Hold Them In Place! 

Let Us This Day Use Our Gift Of Faith From Our Lord Christ 

To Birth And Nurture Our Trust In Him Who Saves 

By Our Always Ready And Willing Obedience 

So That We Will Endure To The End

So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved To Hear The Desired Words: 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

Beloved, 

Dig Into Christ's Free-To-All Salvation With Your Great TOE! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

The Law Of The Lord Is Our Hedge!

KJV Psalms 119

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

The Law Of The LORD

The Hedge Of Protection For His People

Is 

Perfect 

And 

Converts The Soul To The Ways Of Righteousness! 

We Must Do Right! 

The Testimonies Of The Lord

A Sure, Can't-Fail, Word

Makes Us Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

There Is No One Who Confidently Takes Jesus Christ At His Word

His Testimony

The Truth That Cannot Fail

Who Will Remain In The Darkness Of Sin

Choosing The Foolish Man's Way That Leads To Destruction! 

Beloved, 

To Know Jesus Is To Have Peace! 

To Follow In His Way Is To Find Rest! To Believe Aka Hear The Word 

And

Do The Will In Faith And With Endurance Until Life Shall End 

Is

To See Jesus In Peace

And 

Enjoy Life On The Golden Shore! 

Dear Ones, 

The Word, The Testimony Of The Lord Is Our Strong Tower: 

Run Into It

Walk Back And Forth Through Its Pages

Take Heed

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Is Our Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Nobody Has To Sin!

 

Jesus Saves Us From The Penalty Of Sin Aka Justification 

And

He Saves Us From The Power Of Sin Aka Sanctification! 

Our Greatest Enemy 

Is 

The One From Within! 

Think About It! 

We Love To Say That Somebody Is Pushing Our Buttons 

So We Are Free To Respond However We Personally Choose! 

If That's Your Story, Stick To It 

Or

Follow The Savior And Choose To Overcome Evil With Good! 

Beloved, 

Textbook Abusers ... Like Satan Their Master

Love To Lash Out And Say That You Made Them Do Whatever! 

Hold Up! 

Consider That We Who Are On The Receiving End Of Their Vitriol 

Will Respond And Say That They Made Us Respond 

However, Whenever, Wherever, Because! 

Consider This! 

When People Know What Triggers Your Behavior

They Will Load Your Weapon For You 

And 

Entice, "Force," Or Bedevil You To Pull The Trigger! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Chose - And Every Day Choose - Jesus Christ 

As Our Everlasting Portion

Think Salvation 

And

Choose Life! 

Let Us Choose To Disappoint The Evil-Doers 

And 

Deliberately Walk On The Rocky Road 

Aka The Strait And Always Narrow Way! 

Life Is Tough ... When We Follow Our Jesus By Faith

But

We Are Not Alone! 

We Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb 

And

The Unfailing "It Is Written!" 

The Word Of The Lord 

Is 

A Sharp Sword And A Comfortable Bed 

And

It Is Either Or Or Both 

At One And The Same Time! 

We Have Choice: 

Look In Or Look Up! 

What Is Your Decision!?! 

Sin For Short-Term Satisfaction 

Or Salvation By Grace Through Faith For Everlasting Life!?! 

Our Lord And Savior Jesus Unfailingly Saves The Willing! 

Save Yourself By Letting The Savior Save You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Relevant In An Irreverent World! Really!?!

 

No Christian Can Possibly Be Relevant In An Irreverent World! 

No Christian Can Remain Godly By Partaking Of 

The Ungodly Activities Of Those Who Ignore   

And 

Forsake  The God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory! 

Beloved, 

Is It Possible to Straddle A Fence 

And 

Still Walk Firmly, Steadily, Confidently On Both Sides!?!  ... To Glory!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Playing Fast And Loose With Salvation 

Is 

To Belly Up To The Trough 

To Eat Blow-Pork! 

Do You Want To Die!?! 

Don't You Want To Live!?! 

Growing Up, We Were Oft' Told The Old Story Of 

A Man Who Didn't Eat Known-Unclean Pork 

But 

Smelt It, Saw It, And Wanted It 

That Was On That Table "Real Bad!" 

His Solution Was To Say His Prayers 

And 

"Christen" That Pork 

And 

Call It Beef! 

What Changed!?! 

What Remained The Same!?! 

Who Changed!?! 

Were The Facts Changed!?! 

Did Truth Become A Lie!?! 

Did Desire Change Reality!?! 

Please Remember This, Dear Ones,

Turning A Deck Of Cards Upside Down

Bottom To Top

And 

Sideways

Does Not Change It To Something Different! 

It Will Remain A Deck Of Cards! 

The Word Of God Is Fixed ... 

This World Is Dying: 

Jesus Christ Is Life! 

Choose Wisely! 

Peace!
