HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Neither Ashamed Nor Afraid To Pray ...!
















PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, Kind And True
I Choose To Take You At Your Holy Word Because
It Needs No Reminders About Follow-Up And Follow Through! 

You Are The Living God, Holy, Faithful, Loving
The Ever Blessing God Who Is Not A Liar! 
I Give You Thanks And Praise! 

Lord, I Have Made Up My Mind That
I Want, Need, Desire, And Must Have All
Every Last Gift, Benefit, And Blessing That
You Have Promised Me In The Word Of Truth 
And
Through The Innocent Blood Spilt Because Of Me
And
For Me
On That Dark And Dread Day On Mount Calvary! 

Father, Without You, I Am Nothing
And
Can't Do Anything!

With You As My Guardian, My Guide
The One Who Causes Me To Live
And
Breathe And Just Be
And
By Your Gift To Me Of Free-Will
And
Freedom To Choose What I Want To Be And Do
I, This Day, Choose To Be What You Said That I Can Be
Which Is To Be Like My Blessed Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord! 

I Choose To Go Where You Send Me 
And
To Do What You Ask Me To Do! 

Lord, Please Help Me Not To Be Presumptuous
By Overstepping The Boundaries You Have Clearly Defined! 

Please Help Me, By Saving Grace
To Stay Under The Banner Of Prince Immanuel
And
Inside Of Your Hedge Of Protection That Is
Your Ten Commandments
The Keeping Of Which Is
The Key To A Happy And Peace-Filled Life!

I Need You, Father
And
I Am Neither Ashamed Nor Afraid To Pray That
I Will Come To Need You More And More Each And Every Day!

I Love You And I Come In Faith In Jesus' Holy Name:
Please Bless Me In My Need And Indeed!
AMEN!

Don't Become An Unprofitable Servant!




Brethren, 

I Don't Know About You
But 
I Have No Desire To Hear The Lord Call Me An Unprofitable Servant 
So I Am Determined ... By Almighty God's Saving Grace
Not To Anymore Indulge In Any Habit, Practice, Pursuit 
Which Will Not Glean For Me Some Type Of Eternal Profit! 

Think About It! 

Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Gossiping
Backbiting, Gainsaying, Doubting
Defiance, Whoremongering, Idolatry
Disobedience
And 
Distrusting The Lord Christ Will Not Give Me Any Profit 
Aka Interest To Give To Our Lord Christ 
Who Entrusted Me To Handle His Property 
When He Returned To Our Father's House Of Love 
After The Most Expensive Shopping Trip 
Aka Rescue Mission In History! 

Dear Ones, 

As In All Things, We Have Free-Will And Freedom To Choose! 

We May Decide To Do Nothing 
And 
Consort With The Careless Who Don't See Anything Profitable 
In Emulating Jesus Christ Our Savior
The Hope Of Every Man! 

We May Also Choose To Use The Lord's Property
His Talents
His Gifts Given To Us 
In A Manner Sure To Get Gain For Our Master
- Which Also Means Ourselves - 
Which Will Gain For Us The 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 
Enter Into The Joy Of Your Lord!" 

I Sincerely  Beseech Us All
Dare And Do Good! 
Choose To Live Right! 
Determine To Humbly Serve The Lord 
And
Gratefully Bless Almighty God! 

May The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
Continue To Guide Us On The Holy Way! 

Peace!

DOUBT DESTROYS: Look Up To Jesus Christ With Hope ... And Live!




We Love To Sing "All The Way My Savior Leads Me!" 
But
In The Midst Of Daily Trial And Constant Temptation
Necessary Test And Internal Torment 
We Suddenly Forget Who Is The One We Call Savior
And 
The Prophesied And Blood-Promised Destination 
To Which We Are Being Led! 

Beloved, 

Satan The Adversary Is The Liar: 
Jesus Christ Our Savior, Our Creator
The Holy God
The Only Wise God
Is 
The Truth! 

We, Even When We Have Been Unfaithful To The Faithful One
And 
Have Gone A-Whoring After 
The Truthless And Useless Things Of This Life
Have Abundantly Seen The Providences
The Wonderful Provision And Saving Graces Of 
Our Blessed Jesus! 

This Present Time, Dear Ones
Is 
Not The Time To Become Faint-Hearted
Denying
And 
Doubtful About The Goodness Of Our God! 

I Pray That We Will Stand With The Brave 
Knowing Jesus 
And 
Telling The World That It Is He, Alone
Who Always Saves! 

Doubt Destroys! 

Look Up To Jesus With Hope ... And Live!

EYES WIDE SHUT: Blind, Blind, Blindness!?!





Never Give Up 
Truth For Pleasure
Integrity For Bodily Comfort
Convictions For Companionship
Nor Wisdom For What Passes For The Perfection Of Beauty! 

Beloved, 

There's An Old Expression About 
Walking With Your Eyes Wide Shut: 
Think On This Thing! 

If You Are Not Physically Blind
You Walk With Your Eyes Wide Open! 
You Only Squint Your Eyes 
If 
The Light Input Is Overbearing And Overloading Your Nerves! 

When You Are Walking With Your Eyes Open
Your Peripheral Aka Side Vision Either Advises Or Warns You! 

If We Are Walking Boldly And Willfully Blindly
We Are Responsible For Any And All Collisions 
And
Must Accept Any And All Scrapes, Cuts
Bruises, Punctures, And Broken Bones 
Which Are Occasioned 
By Our Very Own Practiced Lawlessness! 

Trust And Obedience Hinge Upon Our Acceptance Of 
The Counsel Found In The Book Of Knowledge 
Which We Read 
And 
By Saving Grace, Understand! 

We Are Responsible For What We Know 
And
For What We Had The Presented Opportunity To Know 
But
Refused To Take A Firm Hold Upon! 

Dear Ones, 

Pleading Self-Incrimination 
Will Not, Cannot, Work For Faithful Christians 
So Let Us Choose To Be Christians By The Holy Name 
And 
Blessed Nature Of Our Lord Christ 
All Day, Every Day, And In Every Way! 

Jesus Died To Save Us All 
But
Those Who Are Finally Saved Are Saved 
Because 
They Believed Almighty God's Word 
And
Faithfully Acted As Lovingly Directed! 

Willful Blindness 
Is 
The Act Of A Fool: 
There Will Be No Fools In Heaven! 

The Fool Says In His Heart
That There Is No God!

Be Willingly Wise! 

Peace!

The Fabulous Impostor






What Would You Say About A Real Pig That 
Looks Like A Sheep 
And 
Acts Like A Dog!?!  

The Mangalitsa Pig Aka Sheep-Pig Is Such A Creature! 





Hmmm... A Pig Is A Scavenger! 
A Dog Is Man's Furry Companion! 
A Sheep Is A Clean Animal
A Source For Man's Clothing Material
And 
In Baby Form Aka As A Lamb
Was Used For Sacrifice 
To Represent Our Dear Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Beloved, 

Can You Imagine Having Such A Creature Showing Up At The Temple
Brought By Someone Who Thought That 
Outward Appearance Was More Important Than Character!?! 

Think Of Wolves In Sheep's Clothing!
Think Of Friends Who Are Enemies! 
Think Of Satan Masquerading As An Angel Of Light 
Bearing "Truth" 
Which Is Actually The Darkness Of Death! 

Beware Of Masqueraders! 

Never Forget That The True Child Of God 
Is
By Saving Grace
Daily Becoming More Like Jesus! 

We Do Not Run To Execute Evil Schemes! 
We Do Not Take Pleasure In Tearing Down The Character Of Others 
But
We Daily Practice What We Learn Of 
And 
Speak About Our Blessed Jesus! 

We Do Not Seek To Be All Things To All People
Nor Can We Be Converted From The Holy Way 
By Being Groomed With Gifts And Treats! 

Dear Ones, 

Seek To Know All That Is Available 
To Be Known About Our Humble, Good, Kind, Savior 
So That You Will Not Be Overcome 
By The Fabulous Impostor That Is Satan! 

A Pig Wearing Wool 
Is 
Still Unclean 
Even If It Plays Nice Like A Pet Dog! 

Jesus Christ, Faithful, Just, Giving, And Forgiving
Is 
The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever! 

Only Trust The Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Jesus Saves!






Since From Age To Age Our God Is The Same
Why Should We Care If To Satan And His Minions 
We Are Fair Game!?? 

If At Our Door Satan The Damned Does Not Knock
It Is Because With Christ Jesus
Good Friends 
And 
Faithful Servants 
We Definitely Are Not! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Listen To My Earnest Plea: 
Be The Head And Not The Tail 
And 
Let Jesus Christ Lead You To His Glory! 

Please Don't Follow Satan 
To The Prepared-For-Him Hell! 
Choose To Live Above The Fray 
Where Fiends, Foes, And Fakers Prey
And Instead
Walk Amongst The Saints Of God And Christ
Faithfully Saying Your Prayers 
Morning, Evening, Noon, And Night! 

An Apple A Day May Keep The Doctor Away 
But
It Is Sure That A Praying, Willing
Obedient, Caring, Loving Heart-For-Christ 
Will Never From The Path Of Righteousness 
Seek To Depart! 

Honor The Lord: 
He Is King 
And 
You Will Not Through Self 
With Satan And Sin 
Want To Have A Fling! 

Choose To Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand 
And 
Send Satan The Stern Message That 
You Are Not 
And 
Will Never Be One Of His Mesmerized Fans
Those Wicked Ones Walking Ungodly
And
Practicing Idolatry! 

Let Satan Roar And Rage: 
Jesus Christ Will Uphold You By His Saving Grace
Because
You Have Chosen Under His Banner
To Take Your Gifted Place! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Satan Can't Do Anything To A Child Of God 
Without Permission From Our Father: 
In Unfailing Faith, With Humbled Heart, Stand
And 
Walk, Beloved
According To The Salvation Of Man Plan! 

Peace!

Hell Ain't A Town In Texas!




 


Two Kinds Of Spirits Walk The Earth 
And 
We Are Free To Choose To Accept Their Impressions 
And 
Consciously Follow Them! 

We, However, Cannot Follow Them Both 
And 
We Cannot Be Fence Jockeys And Say We Are Neutral! 

Are You Eager To Sin 
And 
Ready Die For The Lost Cause 
Or 
Are You Eager To Do Right 
And 
Live To Live With Living Light!?! 

Beloved, 

Diplomatic Relations Between Sin And Salvation
Good And Evil
Satan And Our Savior
Won't Ever Be A Thing! 
There Is No Common Ground 
Between Light And Darkness! 

Our Lord Jesus Asks Us To Place Him First In Our Affections 
And 
When We Do This 
It Is Certain That We Will Always Choose To Do Right 
Because 
We Love Him Who Loved Us First: 
He Is Good: 
He Is God! 

Think! 
You, Being A Little Good 
And 
Knocking Boots With Known Sin
Will Become The Bold Sinner 
Because 
Sin Is An Aphrodisiac 
Aka A Come-To-Me! 

If You, A Tired-Of-Sin Sinner
Walk Away From Sin Through Faith 
By Almighty God's Saving Grace
You Become A Saint Of God And Christ! 

Everything We Do
Good Or Evil
For Salvation Or Damnation
Requires Our Free-Will Choice 
And
The Exercise Of Our Personal Efforts! 

Let Us Choose To Be Good To Ourselves 
And 
To Each Other 
From This Moment On! 

Please Choose To Come All The Way Out 
From Among The Evil-Doers 
And 
Be Amongst The Living-For-Jesus Saints! 

Heaven Is Not Pie In The Sky By And By 
And
Hell Ain't A Town In Texas! 

Love Wisely: 
Do Right! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sing Praises To God ... Here And Now!












As Pathfinders
It Was Drilled Into Us, In Part, That We Should 
"Walk Softly In The Sanctuary
Keep A Song In Our Hearts
And Go On God's Errands!" 

Beloved, 

Dead Men Can't Walk
They Can't Keep
They Surely Can't Taste Anything
And
It Is Certain That They Can't Go On God's Errands! 

Think ... 

We Are Alive By The Saving Grace 
And 
Constant Care Of The Eternal God: 
We Should Always Be Grateful For Grace 
And 
Supremely Thankful For Mercy! 

The Songs Of Zion Are A Defensive Weapon 
To Keep Us In Hope 
For Our God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

The Songs Of Zion Are An Offensive Weapon 
To Keep Doubt, Fear, Discouragement, And Distress 
Aka The Legion Of Doom At Bay! 

And

Best Of All
These Sung Songs Of Zion 
Are Blessed Worship Of Our Great God 
And 
They Will Not Be Denied Or Discouraged! 

How Interesting ...

We All Love To Talk About 
Singing Before The Throne Of God 
When We Get To Heaven! 

Caution ... 

If You're Not Singing Praises Here And Now
You Will Not Be Singing Praises There And Then! 

Let Us All Please Remember That 
The Songs Of Zion Are Written Out Of 
Going Through An Experience
     Overcoming A Trial
          Being Thankful For Grace And Mercy
    Loving And Knowing The Dear Savior
And 
Just Wanting To Sing Of Our Precious Redeemer! 

What Song Will You Sing To Our King 
Who Is Love ... And Lovely
Now, Today!?! 

"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth!" 
Is 
My Song! 

Peace!

What Is The Name Of Your Conscience!?!








How Often Have You Heard The Warning: 
"Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide!?!" 

This Warning Can Be A Very Sniffy Proposition 
When There Are Eight Types Of Conscience Mentioned 
In The Scriptures Of Truth: 
Four Are Good 
And 
Four Are Not! 

Our Elders Regularly Spoke About Persons 
Who Had The Dead Conscience 
As Those Who Are Capable Of 
And
Willing To Do Anything! 

They Also Spoke About 
Having The Good Conscience 
Which Permits One To Rest Peacefully At Night! 

Beloved, 

There Are Many Amongst Us Who Have 
Weak
Evil
Defiled 
And 
Seared Aka Dead Consciences: 
May The Lord ... Through His Saving Grace
Have Mercy Upon Them 
Since There Is Nothing That 
Is 
Of Human Strength Or Devising That 
Can Fix What Is Ailing Them! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Beware Of The Counsels Of 
Those Who Count The Word Of The Living God 
A Cheap 
And 
Unclean Thing! 

In Faith, I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
We Will Each Have The Conscience That 
Is 
Altogether Good
Pure
Purged 
And 
Void Aka Empty Of Offense! 

Let Us Choose This Day 
To Remember To Depend Upon The Word Of God 
For Guidance 
And 
For Correction 
So That We ... And Our Consciences 
Will Be Safe From Self And Sin: 
A Dead Aka Seared Conscience 
Is Not 
Participant In The Godly Life 
And
Is Given Over To Rampant Wickedness! 

Please Let The Voice Of Almighty God 
Be Your Companion And Guide Today! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Prayer Of Faith Is A Moving Elevator!






If Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone 
But By Every Word That Comes From God
And
Jesus Christ Is The Word Of God Who Taught Us To Say: 
"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" 
And
Requested Us To Pray Without Ceasing
And
To Pray And Not Faint

And

Prayer Is As Our Necessary Food 
And
We Must Eat Every Day
Does It Not Stand To Reason That 
We Should Pray Every Day For The Outpouring 
And 
Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth!?! 

Beloved, 

Praying Does Not Bring Almighty God Down To Us 
But
Lifts Us Up To Almighty God 
And 
Changes Us As We Await 
The Change Of Our Then Circumstance! 

Humble, Heartfelt Prayer Is An Elevator! 
Humble, Heartfelt Praying Is A Moving Elevator
And
A Mood Elevator! 

The Helper Is Here ...

The Holy Spirit Takes Our Less Than Perfect Mouthings 
- Uttered With Unclean Lips Via The Heart Of Faith - 
And
Transcribes Them With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered 
And 
Makes Them Suitable For The Ear Of The Holy God! 

We Need Jesus Christ Who ... For Love
Gave Us The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth
And
The Power To Pray
And
The Faith To Make The Transaction! 


Praying Without Faith
Is
A Noisy Abomination!


Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Can't Beat The Omnipresent God's Loving Giving 
And 
You Can't Wear Out His Ability 
To Give You Good And Perfect Gifts!
 
Seek The Lord Of Love And Life 
In Unwearied, Faithful, Praying! 
Endeavor ... By Saving Grace
With Mercy Available And Free
To Tirelessly Knock At His Door Of Plenty 
And 
Persistently Ask For What You Need! 

Don't Seek To Feed Your Greed: 
Let The Holy Spirit Lead! 
Pray For Holy Spirit Power Today! 
Pray Now! 

Peace! 

Faith Without Praying
Is
A Lie
And Is As
A Slow And Painful Death!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Records Are Being Kept!






There Is A Record Being Kept In Heaven Of Our Words
Our Actions 
And
Our Influence ... Good Or Bad ... Over Others! 

Dig Deep ... 

If You Could See ... In Real Time Over The Long Haul
What It Is That You Cause To Happen In The Lives Of Others
Would You Continue Living The Life That You Now Lead!?! 

What Would You Change, By God's Grace, About Yourself!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Loving Heavenly Father 
Who, By Jesus Christ, Has Modeled For Us 
The Perfect Way To Speak, Walk 
And
Act Unto All People! 

Too Often, Though
In Total Rejection Of The Living Way
We Behave As Though Our Heavenly Father Hates Us
Or Is Trying To Make Our Lives Miserable 
With His Do's And Don'ts
And 
His Perfect Way! 

Open Your Eyes ... 

Please Recognize That Our Bad Behavior 
Is 
Not Going To Make Almighty God Lower His Standards 
Nor Is It Going To Cause Him 
To Love Us Less Than When Jesus Died On Calvary! 

Brethren, Beloved 

We Need To Recognize That Almighty God Is All
And
That We Have Nothing To Give Our Lord
Save Our Trust And Obedience
 
And

By His Saving Grace
We Must Come To Realize That 
Our Best Behavior Is Blessed Behavior!

We Are Nearing Home
So Let's Raise Our Standards! 
Let's Live Right 
And
Do Good Always 
And 
In All Ways Even Though There 
Is 
No Earthly Profit Or Apparent Benefit! 


Our Heavenly Father
Sees All
Knows All
And
Is In All
And
He, Alone
Blesses Us All!

Putrid Pride Perverts Good Character!







Are You Like The Pharisees Who Spoke And Fasted With Pride 
Or
Are You Like Christ Jesus Who Spoke Peace 
And 
Ate His Food With Humility
Willingly Choosing To Be With The Sinners Who Saw 
And 
Expressed Their Personal Need Of 
Their Personal Savior!?! 

Lest We Forget
The Lord Asks Us To Humble Ourselves 
Under His Mighty Hand 
And
In His Own Time He Will Lift Us Up! 

Pride ... Putrid Pride ...  Perverts Good Character
And 
We Ought To Constantly Remember That 
It Was Putrid Pride That 
Caused Satan's Fall From Saving Grace! 
We Should Never Forget That It Is False Pride That 
Causes Us To Elevate Our Sinful Self 
Before We Spectacularly Fall 
And 
Our Shame Is Exposed! 

We Have Nothing About Which To Practice Pride 
Save Jesus Christ The Lord ... Our Lord
So Let Us Be Wise And Consider, Understand
And 
Remember That 
The Only Thing That We Take From This World 
Is 
Our Name ... Our Character 
Good, Bad, Ugly Or Indifferent! 

Beloved, 

The Only Character That Will Enter Heaven 
Is 
The One That Is Totally Like Christ's 
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
By The Grace Of God 
And 
With An Obedient, Willing Spirit
Get Rid Of The Unholy Habits 
And 
Ugly, Offensive, Prideful Attitudes: 
Jesus Christ Cleans And Saves! 


Powerfully Pursue Peace!

Lean On Jesus Christ ... For A Happy Life!


Pin on My Daily Bread



Never Let Anything Or Anyone 
"Make" You Feel So Badly About Yourself That 
You Are Willing To Destroy Your Relationship 
With Jesus Christ The Lord
True And Faithful
The Lover Of Your Purchased Soul! 

Beloved, 

There Is Only One Thing In This Life 
... One Love, One Hope, One Help, One Peace ... 
Impossible To Be Taken Away From Us 
And 
That Is Our Relationship With Jesus! 

There Is No Saving Grace For Us 
Without Jesus In Control Of Our Lives! 

When We Are Resting, Abiding, Sheltered In Jesus
Nothing
No One
No Circumstance
No Disappointment
No Physical, Emotional Or Financial Setback 
Can Rock Our World 
Or Shake Our Foundation! 

The Lord Has Promised To Never Leave Or Forsake Us! 
He Has Promised Joy ... In The Morning
Rest For The Weary
Help For Hopeless
Bounty For The Barren 
And 
Comfort
And
Joy For The Believing! 

Please Let Us Use Our Daily Gift Of Daily Faith Today 
To Make All Wrong Things Right 
Where It Is Possible To Do So! 

Think On This Thing ...

We Cannot Love The Lord Whom We Can't Now See 
When We Are Hating People Whom We Can Obviously See! 

Reach Out As You Reach Up 
And
Let Go And Let Our God Do What He Does Best: 
Make All Wrong Things Right! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ The King ... Our High Priest
The Shepherd Of Rest
Does All Things Well! 

Love
And
Lean On The Lord
Like A Leech!
