VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Way-Maker: The Forever Friend Of The Faithful!

 

We Often Hear And Say That 

It Is Good To Have A Friend And Bad To Want One! 

Okay ... But Let Us Carefully Think This Through! 

Beloved, 

Would You Take Anyone As Your Friend Just To Say: 

"At Least I Have A Friend!?!" 

Or

 Would You ... In The Abundance Of Caution

Choose To Choose A Friend Who May Not Necessarily Have Means 

Aka Money, Power, And Influence

But 

Is High In Morals, Emotional Maturity, And Constancy!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Sells Himself To Man As Man's Welfare Friend 

But

He Is  Wayward! 

Our Savior Is The True Friend, The Way-Maker! 

A Wayward Person 

Is 

Willful

Given To Fits And Starts

And 

Is Malignantly Self-Centered And 

Known For Indulging Malicious Intent! 

Our Dear Savior

Our Prince Shiloh Aka Our Peace

Our Forever Friend

Is 

Our Only Way-Maker Who Has Taken Unto Himself 

The Task Of Blessing And Benefitting Us 

To Bless And Benefit Ourselves ... And Others! 

Satan Walked Away From The Truth 

And 

Cannot Be A Friend To Any Human! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Only Savior

Is 

The Truth

And 

Is The Forever Friend Of The Faithful! 

The Choice Is Clear! 

Will You Make Jesus Your No Sorrow, No Regrets, Choice!?! 

He Is Forever Faithful 

And 

His Hand Is Reaching Out For You! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Your Choices Matter To The Maker, Our Master!

Life Is Beautiful! 

Life Is Also Short, Dynamic

Worth Living

And 

Is An Eternal And Truly Bountiful Blessing 

To All Who Humbly Choose To Let Our Creator, The Life-Giver

Steadfastly Lead Them To Everlasting Life 

In The Land Of Love And Glory! 

Beloved, 

We Will Undoubtedly Make Mistakes 

Because 

We Are Flesh

Born In Sin 

And 

Shapened, Carved, Constructed, Built Up

By Iniquity Aka Planned Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

Let No One Fool You: 

We Have Free Will 

And 

The Freedom To Choose How To Behave 

And 

How To Live

Who And Where To Worship

And 

Where We Will Spend Eternity! 

The Choices!?! 

Let The Lord Jesus Christ

- The King, The Judge ... Our Savior -

Correct You 

Or

Let Satan The Damned

- The Adversary Of Your Soul ... And Your Savior -

Wreck You! 

Nobody May Make This Decision For You! 

Please Choose Wisely! 

Pray! 

Petition

And

Pursue Peace! 

Peace! 

Sin ... The Gussied-Up Porker

Sin Is Criminal 

But It Is Not Justifiable ... In The Eyes Of Almighty God! 

Sin Can Be Accidental 

But It Is In Our Best Interests 

To Decidedly Consider Its Embrace To Be Suicidal! 

Beloved, 

No Christian Truly Trusting The Faithful Holy One

Will Ever Consider The Journey To Jesus And Joy 

To Be A Suicide Mission

A Mission Of No Return

And 

Deftly Decide To Have A Last Ditch Hurrah Blithely Sinning!

To Do Such Would Be To Give The Devil 

His Dastardly And Destructive Desire: 

We Can't Afford The Fall-Out 

For The Dues Are Usurious! 

Dear Ones, 

No Matter How Many Times You Wash A Porker

No Matter How Expensive The Pearls

Or How Rare The Perfume

A Gussied-Up Porker 

Will Always Be A Wallow In The Mud Besmirched Hog!

If We Do Not See Sin Through The Eyes Of Our Savior

Sin Will Always Be Enticing

Worth Following

Worth Excusing

And 

Worth Our Wholehearted Participation! 

Let Us, Instead, Look To Jesus Christ

The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith 

Who Died To Rid Us Of Sin

And Ever Lives To Have Us 

- Cleansed And Forgiven - 

Ride Home To Be With Him! 

Let's See Sin 

And

Walk On By On The Other Side Of The Road 

To Stand Where Salvation Is Stationed 

And 

Tenderly Calling To Us! 

Please Pray For Power ... And Press On To Glory! 

Jesus Saves Us From Sin: 

Walk In Accord With Him! 

Peace!

New Life In Christ!

Sin Makes You Blind To The Truth! 

Being Blind To The Truth Puts You In A Bind 

And

Being In This Bind 

From Which You Cannot Extricate Yourself By Yourself

Sin Efficiently And Effectively Causes You To Be Marked 

As One To Be Placed In The Garbage Bin 

To Be Burned At The Behest Of Almighty God 

In The Appointed Hour! 

Beloved, 

The Song-Writer

In Agreeing With The Living Word Of The Eternal God, Says: 

"Sin Will Take You Farther Than You Want To Go!" 

Believe It! 

Sin, Like Fire

Does Not Have It In Its Make-Up 

To Just Be Contented With A Lil' Bit

Or A Goodly Portion! 

Sin, Like Fire, Wants All, Everything

And

Will Take It All, No Limits

Unless The Creator ... The Life-Giver

The Bread Of Life

The Water Of Life

The Sustainer Of Life

The Re-Creator Of Life

Puts A Decided Stop To Sin Aka The Raging Fire In Our Life 

With Our Permission ... At Our Request 

Through Our Acceptance Of His Free-To-All Salvation! 

Dear Ones, 

Ask For Help!

Accept The Assistance!

Allow The Holy Spirit To Work In Your Life

And 

Appreciate The Gift Of New Life In Jesus Christ 

- Whom We All Adore - 

In Order To Ascend To Glory To Live With Him Eternally! 

Deny Satan The Father Of Lies

And With Joy 

Accept Jesus Christ The Father Of Lights!

Peace!

REJOICING: Praying And Praising!

Let's Investigate Rejoicing 

Aka Praying And Praising! 

Praying Lifts Us Up To Our Eternal God 

And

Praise In Song 

Is 

A Defence Against Despair And Discouragement! 

Satan The Damned Poisonously Hates Praying And Praising

And

For This Reason

And

The Fact That Our Dear Savior Asks Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And

To Offer Unfeigned Praise Over His Glorious Works And Eternal Majesty 

Is 

Why We Should Hungrily, Thirstily, Unfailingly Indulge! 

Within Praying Is A Pry Bar 

To Get Us Away From Sin

And

To Walk Wisely In The Gifted Free-To-All Salvation! 

Within Praising Is Raising

A Pin

And

A Ping! 

When The Sharp Pin Of 

Despondency, Despair, And Discouragement Dig Into You

And 

You Feel That Ping Of Hurt On Your Nerves

You Know That It Is Time 

To Start Raising Your Head, Heart, And Voice 

As You Bless God 

While Praising Him For Another Reason To Believe His Word

Trust His Promises

And 

To Damn That Satan 

By Working Your Day's Faith To A Nubbin ... And To Death! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Choose This Day To Look For Blessings

And 

For Reasons For Praying And Praising

And 

Let Us Bless Almighty God For Our Privilege

Our Invitation

To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace! 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Jesus, For The Purchased Peace! 

I Give You Thanks And Praise

For My Blessings Already Experienced 

And

Those Even Now On The Way!

AMEN!!!

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

Life May Leave You With Nothing

But

With Jesus Christ

As Your Eternal Portion

You Will Have Everything!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Satanic Manipulation

 

For The Record, We Know Of A Surety That 

Anyone Who Seeks To Force Our Will 

By Manipulation, Intimidation, And Domination 

Is 

Working For No Less A Personage Than Satan The Damned! 

Also, By Curiosity

By Seeking New, Novel, And Mindblowing

Or For Fear Of Someone Powerful, Rich, Or Volatile

We Place Ourselves Or Are Placed Under The Control Of 

Fallen Angels, Wicked Spirits, Demons! 

The Early Church Was Not Exempt From This 

And 

Neither Are We! 

We Are Cautioned To Test The Spirits 

To See Whether They Are Of God! 

The Holy Spirit 

Will Never Contradict The Preserved Word Of God 

And

Will Never Manipulate, Intimidate, Or Dominate Us: 

That's The Devil's Domain 

And

Comes From A Place Of Hatred 

Because 

Love Doesn't Operate Like That! 

Dear Ones, 

Those Persons Seeking To Control Us 

Are Also Being Controlled

And 

Will Speak Of Love, Caring

And 

Our Profit As Their One Motivation: 

They Lie Like Cheap Rugs! 

Jesus Christ Our King Loves Us 

And

Humbly, Openly, Came Himself To Save Us: 

It Cost Him Not Us! 

Satan Always Uses A Middle Man 

Until He Doesn't! 

Directness By Truth

Reasoning By Grace

And

Persuasion By Mercy 

All Wrapped Up In Heavenly Love 

Are The Ways Of Almighty God! 

Know The Truth 

And 

Walk In The Light That Gives Life 

To Escape The Polished Deceits Of The Devil! 

Be Safe And Saved ... In The Arms Of Jesus! 

Peace! 

Wicked People Earn Two Pay-Checks!

We Are Finite Creatures With Delusions Of Grandeur 

When We Walk Around With Malice, Envy, And Greed In Our Hearts 

Making Plans For People And Their Property! 

Beloved, 

Meet King Ahab And His Queen Jezebel! 

Could You Imagine 

A Powerful King So Weak As To Take To His Bed

Sucking His Thumb 

And 

Refusing His Din-Din 

Because 

He Wanted Another Man's God-Given, Law-Sealed, Property!?! 

Imagine Also 

His Dead-Conscience, Wicked, Idolatrous, Power-Mad Queen 

Who Believed That Title And Power Equalled 

Fulfilled Desire: Satisfaction Achieved 

Aka I'll Have You Killed And My Hubby Will Own Your Farm 

To Get A Few Eggs From Your Prize-Winning Chickens 

Since He Desires A Fluffy Omelette To Satisfy His Current "Hangry" Itch! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Hide And Buy Ground 

But 

We Can't Hide And Reap It! 

Pay-Back Aka Retributive Justice

Maybe From Man

And 

Definitely From The Living God

Is 

Always On Tap! 

Satan Has Poisoned This Earth 

With The Same Vile Spirit 

Which Caused His Dismissal From His Position 

As Lucifer-Light-Bearer! 

When We Plot To Get What Is Not Ours To Own

We Get To Own What Was Not Part Of Our Plot! 

Official Job:

Official Pay! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Self-Employed Wicked Workers Decide Their Own Pay 

When By Sin 

And 

For Satisfaction 

They Gleefully Do Their "Pleasant Work!" For Free! 

Wicked People Earn Two Pay-Checks: 

What They Demand 

And

What The Lord Commands! 

Our Savior States His Saints' Soul-Satisfying Salary! 

Be A Saint: 

There Is A Limit To Sin! 

The Day Of Visitation Is On The Wing! 

Peace!

Produce Fruit Fit For The Kind King!

Be Ye Warned ...

Everything Created On This Earth 

Was Created To Serve Another ... Never Itself! 

Beloved, 

If You Were Created To Bear Fruit In Due Season

Do Not Fluff Up Your Leaves Like A Show-Bird-Peacock's Tail 

Signifying Your Productivity 

When You Are Nothing But A Male Tree

Barren Land, A Broken Cistern

A Dry Well

Or A Spring With Bitter Water! 

Our Master, The Dear Savior

Has Made It Abundantly Clear That 

Trees Which Do His Will And Bear Fruit 

Will Be Pruned To Bear More Fruit 

And

Trees Which Do Not Serve Their Purpose 

Will Not Be Permitted To Take Up Prime Real Estate: 

They Will Be Cut Down And Burnt! 

Dear Ones, 

Know Your Mission 

And

Live-Out Your Purpose 

To Stave Off Ruinous Blight 

And 

Never Experience Eternal Destruction's Dark Night! 

Remember That 

A Wretched And Repentant Sinner 

May Become A Working Saint And Live 

But

A Working Saint 

Who Becomes A Wretchedly-Unrepentant Sinner 

Shall Surely Die! 

Sinner Or Saint

We All Need Food 

But

It Is In Our Best Interests Not To Take "Sustenance" 

From Him Who Would Have Us Become Fools 

And 

Be His Cheaply-Bought

Totally Replaceable

Marked For Destruction

Hated From The Start Tools! 

Don't Listen To The Liar!

Dare To Grow Where You Are Planted 

And

Choose To Produce The Blessed Crop That 

Pleases Your Creator! 

Please Honor Jesus Christ, The Kind King: 

Bow To His Will And Willingly Serve Him! 

Peace!

Don't Be A Bully: Never, Ever, Give In To A Bully!

One Of The Most Amazing Creatures In This Life 

Is 

The Bully! 

You've Met One! 

Bullies Are Mean-Spirited, Vindictive, Cruel Cowards 

Who Extend No Kindness 

But 

Always Desire It! 

How Special! 

Beloved, 

We Should Appreciate Our Dear Savior More 

As The One Whole-Hearted 

When We See The Actions 

And 

Experience The Wrath Of 

One Of Satan's "Favorite" Children Aka Useful Idiots! 

No Apology Is Offered For The Harsh Words! 

Look Upon Jesus Christ

And 

Behold The Mild-Mannered Master

Teacher, Savior

Redeemer, Friend 

Who Gently Calls Us To His Side

No Enticement

No Inducement

No Force

No Fear! 

What Is Amazing About Satan's Bullies 

Is 

That They Strive To Do What Satan Can't! 

Satan Can't Force A Fella To Do Anything! 

Satan Is On A Short Leash 

And 

The Bully Is On A Long Rope! 

Like Any Decent Bully 

Who Will Heel With One Smart Wollop On His Snout 

Or In His Bread-Basket

One Sharp "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Will Put Satan And His Hench-Persons In Their Place! 

Dear One, 

Never, Ever, Give In To A Bully 

To Get Peace Which He Doesn't Have 

And 

Can't Ever Give! 

Call 1-800-Save-Me-Jesus: 

Pray! 

Peace!

No One On This Planet Walks Alone!

How Often Have We Heard Friends, Family, Acquaintances

And 

Even Not-Yet-Friends 

Boldly Even Arrogantly And Aggressively Say: 

"I Don't Need Anybody! 

I Can Make It On My Own!?!" 

Were You Impressed By Or Were You Saddened For 

The Proud Sayer And Lonely Bird Caught In A Storm Of Despair 

But 

Unable Or Unwilling To Humble Themselves Before The Lord 

And 

Say With Longing Heart: 

"Oh Lord, Please Help Me Now! 

I'm Not Just Alone But I Am So Very  Lonely

And Deathly Afraid

And So Very Weak! 

Please Pity Me In My Distress And Have Mercy! 

Lord, 

You Said To Come Boldly

With All My Burdens

My Sorrows And My Joys

And Share Them With You 

Because Without You

Joys Turn Into Sorrows

But With You, Burdens Are Lifted

And Earthly Sorrows Turn Into Heavenly Joys! 

Father, 

Please Open My Eyes To See Your Light That 

Leads To Abundantly Living And Eternal Life! 

Please Grant Me A Heart Of Flesh 

So That I Will Walk Obediently 

And In Perfect Peace With You! 

Please Help Me To Be The Friend That 

I Would Want To Have For A Friend

And Help Me To Love My Neighbor As I Love Myself 

According To Your Living Word!" 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

No One On This Planet Walks Alone! 

You, Me, We, Either Walk In Accord 

And 

Under The Headship Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Or

Satan By The Fallen Angels Walks Companionably With You! 

Let's Examine Ourselves Right Now! 

Peace!

Join The Clean-Heart Club!

We Keep A Clean House 

But 

Have Dirty Minds! 

We Display Beautiful Faces 

But 

Practice Ugly Habits! 

We War With Each Other 

But 

With The Devil ... Not So Much!

We Decry Bad Behavior In Others 

But 

Excuse It In Ourselves! 

We Elevate Known Wickedness In Our Favorites As Self-Expression 

And

Denigrate Faithful Christians As Holy-Rollers And Jesus-Freaks! 

Beloved, 

Upside-Down Back-To-Front "Wisdom" 

Is 

Worthless, Useless, And Pointless 

For Both Seller And Buyer 

And

Believing That Satan Is Your Friend 

Because 

He Says Do What You Desire

And That 

Wrong Is Right 

Is 

Going To Book You A Berth In The Lake Of Fire! 

We Cannot Paint Truth Black 

And 

Color Lies White 

In The Belief That It Will Change Their Character: 

It Won't! 

Let's Just Accept That The Word Of God 

Is 

Ever True 

And 

Is Good To Fix What Ails Me And You! 

Join The Clean-Heart Club: 

Look Up To 

And

Put On Jesus Christ 

And 

Really Live! 

Peace!

The Heart Wants What It Wants!?!

KJV Hebrews 10:31, 35

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Do Not Reject The Love Of Almighty God! 

Satan, The Eternally Damned

Has A Countermanding  Command 

For Every Just And Righteous Commandment Of 

Our Holy God! 

Whose Word Are You Obeying!?! 

Please Remember That 

You Are The Slave Of The One Whom You Obey! 

Satan Says That 

"Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law!" 

The Lord Of Life

The Living God Who Gives Us Grace 

With The Sure And Secure Invitation 

To His Surpassing Glory, Says: 

"Fear God, And Keep His Commandments 

For This Is The Whole Duty Of Man!" 

Beloved, 

As Always, Heed The Call: 

"Be Wise!" 

I Beseech Us All

As Pilgrims And Strangers In A Strange Land

Please Do Not Fall For The World's Technicolor Tactics! 

Do Not Fall Into The Trap That Says That: 

"The Heart Wants What It Wants ... No Holy God 

Or Pricking Conscience Moved By The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Into All Truth Required Or Desired!" 

No Matter Our Station Or Standing

The Day Of Judgment Is Sure! 

I Sincerely Pray That We Will Be Of The Pilgrim Band 

Whose Judge Is The Kind King

The Shepherd Of Love

The Prince Of Peace Who Will Commend Us 

And 

Command Us To Enter Into His Rest! 

The Lord Be With You! 

Peace! 

Air Of Entitlement!?!

 

The Air Of Entitlement 

Should Be A Gut-Wrenchingly Awful Stench 

In The Nostrils Of The Committed-To-Christ Christian! 

Beloved, 

If You Work For A Paycheck, Expect It! 

If You Pay For An Item Or A Service, Expect It! 

If You Have Neither Worked For 

Nor Paid For The Things That You Desire

Get Wise

And 

Get To Stepping Correctly! 

The Old Expression 

"Take What You Want And Pay For It!" 

Should Be Front And Center 

In The Minds Of Sinners And Saints Alike! 

Jesus Christ Calls All Sinners To His Free-To-All Salvation: 

All Who Accept Will See Trial, Tribulation, Temptation

Peace, Joy, Love, And Blessing

Be Hated Without A Cause

And 

At The Regeneration 

Enjoy Eternal Life! 

Satan Offers To All Sinners

Especially Those Of The Unrepentant Class

His Free-To-All Damnation: 

All Who Accept Will See Fun, Frolic

Thrills, Spills

Trials, Terrors, Toys

Rejection By Both Satan And The Savior

And 

The One-Way Trip To Burning-Bath! 

Dear Ones, 

Anything Worth Having, Costs! 

Think And Take Jesus Christ: 

He Paid All Of Your Costs! 

We Are Not Entitled To Receive Blessings: 

They Are Gifts Graciously Given By Our God! 

Believe And Receive! 

Peace!

There Is No Win With Presumptuous Sin!

The 19th Division Of The Psalms Starts With: 

"The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God ...!"

And 

Ends With: 

"Let The Words Of My Mouth 

And The Meditations Of My Heart Be Acceptable ...!" 

Both Heaven And Man Speak! 

Heaven Speaks Aka Declares God's Glory From The Position Of 

The Strength Of The Unimpeachable Truth 

And

We  Ask Or Should Ask, The Lord 

To Help Us To Operate In Such A Fashion That It Will Please 

Aka Bring Pleasure To His Eyes Which See All Things Always! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

There Is Absolutely Nothing About Presumptuous Sin That Is 

Or Can Ever Be Pleasing In The Sight Of The Holy God 

Because 

It Is Sin Against Knowledge

An Act Of Idolatry

A Heaven-Daring Crime! 

There Is No Win In Presumptuous Sin! 

When You Know What You Are Doing Is Wrong, Wicked, Evil 

And 

You Choose To Do It Anyhow

You Are On Satan's Enchanted Ground 

And

In His Benighted Control! 

Almighty God Will Not Share His Glory ... 

Our Savior Jesus And That Devil Satan 

Cannot 

Nor Will Ever Share A Meal

A House

A Bill-Board 

Or A Soul! 

If Satan Is Your God

Deny, Disown And Discard Him With Alacrity! 

If Jesus Christ Is Your God

Please Serve Him As He Asks 

And

Expects ... As Your Reasonable Service!

Please Speak And Act To Profit Your Purchased Soul

And

Dare And Let Self-Will Be Damned 

As You Daily Choose To Turn Your Stubborn Will Over 

To The Ministration Of The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God 

By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Wrath To Come! 

Peace!
