Don't Be Self-Deceived By Self-Aggrandizement + PRAYER: Dear Father, Please Open Our Eyes!

Are You A Vain Aka Empty, Boastfully Self-Confident Person 

Or 

Are You ... Through Faith

Humble And Confidently Glorying In The Lord Christ!?! 

Are You Confident In Your Ability 

To Manipulate Others To Do Your Will 

But

Are Totally Unaware That 

You Are Being Manipulated To Do Satan's Will 

And

To Walk In His Putrid Ways!?! 

Are You So Concerned 

About Those Who You "Know" Are Disobedient That

You Cannot See That You Are Willfully Disobeying 

Your Living, Giving, And Forgiving Father 

Who Is In Heaven!?! 

Beloved, 

We Choose To See What Stimulates 

And 

Hear What Titillates

But 

Singularly ... Self-Righteously ... Ignore 

What Causes Us To Deviate From 

The Path Of Truth And Beauty 

Even As We Baselessly Excoriate

Aka Condemn Those Whom We Oppose 

Because 

They Have Chosen To 

And

Are Letting The Lord ... By The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Lead Them Gently, Safely

To The Land That Is Fairer Than Day! 

Stop It! 

The Inward Look 

Shows To All Willing To See The Truth 

Whether They Are, Indeed, On The Upward Way! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 

With Godly Fear And Trembling: 

Do Not Be Self-Deceived By Self-Aggrandizement! 

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

Please Open Our Eyes 

So That We May See Wondrous Things

Out Of Thy Law! 

Please Open Our Lips

To Sing Your Praises

And 

Help Us To Be Good, Kind

Obedient, Faithful, And True 

So That On The Great Day

We Will Board The Elevator

To Jesus Christ's Glory!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering

Our Prayer Of Faith!

Please Come For Us Soon

For It Is In Jesus' Dear Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead! 

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Misalignment From The Majority!

Committed Christians Are Pilgrims In A Strange Land! 

We Attract Attention 

Because 

Our Walking, Talking, Eating

Our Doing And Being Habits

Are An Affront To The Natural Citizens Of 

The Land Through Which We Are Passing! 

Beloved,

This Is As It Should Be! 

We Should Be Sticking Out Like Sore Thumbs 

Because 

Our Characters Misalign From That Of The Majority! 

Let's Truly Consider For A Moment

How Different Our Lord Was From Those Around Him!

His Name Caused A Stir! 

His Very Presence Caused A Stir Wherever He Went! 

He Attracted Some 

And 

Repulsed Others Of Those Whom Met Him! 

Those Who Saw Their Need For What He Shared Were Drawn To Him! 

Those Who Saw Him As A Meddler In Other People's Matters 

And

A Muddier Of The Waters Of Tradition 

And

An Affront To The Status Quo 

Were Repulsed By Him! 

Those Who Saw Immanuel

"Almighty God With Us" 

Were Lovingly, Gratefully, Graciously, Attracted To Him! 

Those Self-Deceived Ones

Who Saw Themselves As Gods Among Men 

Were Repulsed By The Drawing Fragrance From 

The Heart Of God Wafting Off Him! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Do Not Fool Yourself

Or Permit Yourselves To Be Fooled By Others!

By Almighty God's Great Grace

You Are The Salt Of The Earth!

You Are The Light Of The Earth

And

Living, Holy, Light Shakes Foundations!

Are You Living For The Lord!?! 

Is The World Seeing Jesus Christ The Lord In You!?! 

Will The Lord Of Earth And Glory Call You His Own!?! 

Are You An Enduring, True 

And 

Faithful Witness Of God's Love Towards Man!?! 

Prayerfully Think About It Now

While It Is Still Day

While It Is Possible For Man 

To Work Out His Own Salvation

With Fervent Prayer And Trembling! 

Peace! 

Almighty God Winked ... When We Were Ignorant!

Is Your Christianity Just A Cloak 

Or Is It Functional ... Functioning

And

You Are A Functionary

A Doer Of The Will Of God

And

Not Just A Indifferent Hearer Of The Word!?! 

How Far Are You Willing To Go To Get Your Own Way!?! 

Are You Willing To Sin To Have That 

Self-Deceived Sense Of Personal Satisfaction 

No. Matter. What!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of Almighty God! 

As Jesus Christ's Followers 

And 

Personally Appointed 

And 

Commissioned And Equipped Ambassadors 

Who Are Required To Live To The Higher Standard 

And

Speak The Truth In Righteousness

And

Walk Blameless Before Our Lord And King

- The Judge Of All Flesh - 

We Cannot Speak Of Salvation From 

And 

Victory Over Sin 

And Then

Live Lavishly For Your Known Sinful Self

And

Willingly, Boldly, Brazenly Commit Known Sin! 

When We Knew Not The Lord Of Life

The King Of Glory

He Winked At Our Ignorance! 

We Were Given A Free Pass 

Because 

We Didn't Know Better! 

But ... 

Because We Have Been Made Aware Of The Truth

Aware Of What Is Good And Right 

Because

We Have Either Opened The Good Book For Ourselves 

And

Have Seen Or Been Shown The Truth 

Or Have Been Made Aware Through Our Ears 

By A Talk From Parent, Teacher, Pastor

Priest, Friend Or Well-Wisher

We Are Now Responsible For Our Behavior 

And

Guilty Before Almighty God 

When We Deliberately Sin 

By Walking Contrary To The Light Received

The Truth Obvious! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Personally Died 

For The Specific Sins That 

You Personally Committed 

In Your Very Own Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Scorn The Unspeakable Gift 

By Indulging In Planned Wickedness: 

You Will Personally Pay For Your Own Sins If You Do! 

Dare To And Do Good!

 

Do Not Harden Your Heart

And

Become A Reprobate! 

 

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Serving!?!

Character Flaws ... Found In Every Last One Of Us

Must Be Overcome 

If We Will Enter The Heavenly Paradise Of Peace! 

Nobody Likes A Vengeful, Spiteful

Dishonest, Insincere, Entitled

Proud

And 

Uncontrollable Person! 

Sin 

Is 

Surely Knocking At That Heart's Door!

Our Flaws Aka Faults 

Are Undesirable Traits Of Character 

Which Must Be Gotten Rid Of 

And 

If We Don't We Will Be No More Than 

Nice And Nifty Bouncy Balls 

For Satan The Damned To Use, Abuse, Discard 

And 

Destroy! 

Our Cultivated Character 

Determines

Our Final Destination! 

Beloved, 

Please Be Aware That 

We Are To Confess Our Sins To Almighty God 

And 

Our Flaws To Each Other 

And 

Not The Other Way Around! 

Do Not Be Deceived!

Think Carefully 

About What Your Flaws Have Already Cost You 

And 

How Feeding Your Known Flaws 

Has Encouraged You To Commit Known Sin! 

The God Of Grace ... Known Holy

Loves Us Enough 

To Have Given Us Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 

To Counteract Our Flaws 

And 

It Is In Our Best Interests 

To Change Our Present Direction 

And Allow

Love, Joy, Peace

Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness

Patience, Faithfulness

And 

Self-Control 

To Have Their Wonderful Way In Our Lives 

So That We Do Not Lose The Gifted Home On High 

Which We Cannot Ever Buy! 

Getting Rid Of Habits That Cannot Profit 

Does Not Cost Us Anything Save Time 

Which Is Also A Gift From God!

 

Be Wise ...

Work Out 

Your Own Soul's Already Purchased-For-You Salvation

With Fear And Trembling! 

HAPPY SABBATH + God's Gifts Are Eternal!

 

When Someone Leaves Something That 

You Desperately Need In Your Hot Hand

You Gratefully, Eagerly

Gladly Close Your Hand Tightly Over It

And 

Seal It In A Death Grip That 

No One This Side Of Glory Can Unclasp! 

Beloved, 

This Is How We Must Interact 

With Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Peace 

Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ Gives The Peace! 

We, Believers In Jesus, Death-Grip The Perfect Peace 

And 

No Damned Devil

Nor Self-Deceived Minion

Nor Demon-Inspired Heathen 

Or Hellion On Satan's "Payroll" 

And 

Known Bound For The Fire And Brimstone Bath

Can Get Peace Even Out Of Your Then-Cold-By-Death Grip! 

What Christ Gives 

Is 

Our Own To Have

And 

To Hold Now

And 

Even Forevermore! 

Jesus Christ ... The Lord ... The King 

Doesn't Take Back His Gifts From Us! 

We, Unbelieving, Doubting, Distrusting

Beguiled Aka Fooled, Tricked

By Wandering Eyes And Affections

Throw Back .. Throw Away ... The Heavenly Gifts 

Into The Lord's Dear Face 

And

Then Suffer Horribly, Unnecessarily, For Our Folly: 

Some People Die In Or For Their Folly! 

Remember, Beloved

Almighty God Is True ... The Truth

And 

All Human Beings 

And 

All Fallen Angels 

Are Known And Bold Liars! 

Dare To Know The Truth That Sets You Free

And 

Choose 

To Be Perfectly Peaceful 

In Christ's Precious Peace

That Is His Personal Gift To You Personally!

Don't Be Like Lot's Wife!

Don't Despise

The Gifts Of Almighty God!

Being Ashamed Of Sin Is A Good Thing!

Shame 

Is 

The Teacher Not To Be Ignored

Because

The Ability To Feel Shame

Is

A Gift Of The Eternal God Our Lord

To Cause Us To Walk In Repentance

And

Help Us To Confess And Make Wrong Things Right

So That We May Be Cleansed And Forgiven

For Sinning Against The Holy God! 

Shame 

Is 

Synonymous With Sin And Guilt 

And 

If We Refuse To Express Shame 

For Our Having Committed Known Sin

For Which We Are Known Guilty

We Make Our Maker, God, King 

And 

Judge 

A White-Mouthed Liar! 

We Then Become God 

Because 

We Have Determined That 

We Know More Than He Who Made Us!

We Did Not Make Ourselves! 

Beloved, 

The Living God In Glory

Through The Innocent Blood Jesus Christ 

- Shed For Us At Calvary -

Willingly Offers 

And 

Graciously Gives Of His Free Grace 

To Us Who Choose

- By Faith In The Eternal Word 

And

The Finished Work Of Jesus - 

To Experience ... Express

The Necessary Shame For Our Trespasses 

Against His Holiness! 

Let Us, Therefore, 

Cease From Our Arrogance 

And 

Humble Ourselves Before The Great God 

And 

Display Real Shame

True Sorrow

Biting Regret

And 

Heart-Felt Repentance 

For Crucifying Our Lord Christ

Time And Again! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Satan Refused 

To Feel Ashamed For His Known-Sinful Pride

Greed, Arrogance, Selfishness, Lies 

And

Treachery Against His Maker 

And

By So Doing

Sealed His Own Destruction 

And 

That Of The One-Third Of Heaven's Angels 

He Willfully, Maliciouslyly, Cruelly Deceived! 

Being Ashamed Of Sin 

Is 

A Very Good Thing: 

Let It Make You, Help You

And 

Guide You 

To Walk The Straight And Narrow Way To Heaven!

 

Sue For Peace

With

The Eternal God!

HAPPY SABBATH + HEARERS OF THE WORD: Doers Of The Will Of God

... Word Hearer

And

Will Doer

Were Arguing! 

To Be Strictly Honest

Word Hearer Was Doing The Usual Philosophising 
And 
Romanticising The Living Truth Of 
The Eternal Sage Of The Ages

As He Played Semantics Employing The Tactics Of 
The Illuminated Ones! 

I Thought You Said He's A Christian! 

I DID! 

He Pays The Tithe

Gives Freewill Offerings
Is A Lay Preacher

Is On The Missionary Band And The Singing Band

Does Yoeman Service In The Community ...! 

... Okay, Okay! 

He's A Paragon Of Virtue! 

He's A Right-Diligent Busy-Bee ...! 

... And He Wouldn't Let Will Doer Forget It! 

Okaaay!  He's One Of "Those!" 

And He's Right Proud Of It! 

Has Anybody Told This Paragon Of Virtue 
About Phariseeism!?! 

I'm Going To Pretend That 
That Question Has Not Been Posed
And
Refer You To The Good Book! 

I'll Take That Referral Any Day Of The Week!

The Lord Says That He Will Bless Us 
And 
He Does! 

We Are Blessed Every Day 
Whether We Believe in The Lord And His Word, Or Not! 
The Lord Does Exactly What He Says He Will Do! 

The Word ... Made Flesh

Who Dwelt Amongst Us

Does Not Lie!

We Say That We Worship God
That We Trust Jesus
That We Are Spirit-Filled
But
We Lie 
Because 
We Worship God As We Personally Please
Trust Jesus Christ ... Sometimes
And 
We Are Spirit-Filled When It Is Socially Convenient!
In The Name Of All That's Holy
Let's Just Stop With The Games-Playing!

The Lord God Is True

But Every Man Is A Liar!

I Hear That! 

No Sometimey, When Convenient
Self-Serving, Own-Way, "Christian" 
Mouthing Sweet Nothings In The Public Sphere 
Will Enter Heaven's Glorious Atmosphere!

Please Be Reminded That Self Is A Sinner
And 
Just Like Lucifer Nka Satan
The Self-Centered Person 
Is 
His Own God!

The Eternal God

Mighty To Save

Jealous For His Holy Name

Will Not Share His Glory

With Another!

Brethren,

We Cannot Worship Two Masters!
We Cannot Bless And Curse At The Same Time!
We Cannot Speak Truth And Live Lie!
We Cannot Praise God
And
His Sovereign Will Deny

And

With That Being Plainly Said
I Clearly State To Us Every One That
It Is Time For Us To Forego The Wishy-Washy
I'm Worldly And I'm A Christian Nonsense!

It Is Time To Genuinely Worship God Almighty
By Loving, Holy, Thoughts
With Honest Words 
And 
Through Uncorrupted Deeds 
Out Of A Faith-Filled Heart 
Powered By The Complete Word Of Truth 
Of Our Amazing God Who Sacrificially Loves Us All
Personally And Individually! 

Let's Let Our Love Be Always On The Job! 
Let's Do The Will Of Our All-Knowing
All-Seeing, Ever-Present, God 
By Wisely Following All Of The Living, Holy, Word! 
Heaven Awaits Us! 
Without It, Beloved
There Will Be No Perfect Peace!

The Word Of God Almighty

States The Will Of God Almighty!

Believe And Follow

The Word Of God Almighty

And

You Shall Surely Obey And Do

The Will Of God Almighty:

There Is No Other Way To Be Saved

Into The Living Kingdom!
