HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Let Satan Gaslight You!

 

Beloved, 

We Should Know That In The Household Of Faith 

There Is No Such Thing As Participation In "Borderline" Sin! 

We Know That This Is So 

Because 

We Are Commanded To Abstain, To Shun

To Stay Away From Anything That Has The Appearance

The Look, The Image

The Stamp Of Evil, Of Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is An Old Saw Which Says: 

"Play With The Kitty

And

Know That You Will Get Scratched!" 

Kitty Or Catty, They Both Have Claws! 

By Now We Should Know That Satan, The Originator Of Sin

Is 

A Gaslighting Specialist 

Who Would Have Us Believe Other Than What We Know To Be 

The Saving Truth! 

Sin Destroys! 

Sin Is An Aphrodisiac 

Aka One Sin Is Never Enough! 

Borderline Sin Which Is Sin

Is Like

Knowing You Cannot Have Chocolate Cake 

And 

Choosing To Make And Bake One 

And 

Cutting It Up And Giving Away All The Slices 

And Then

Eating The Crumbs And Licking The Cake-Plate With Relish! 

Abstinence 

Is 

A Voluntary Act With Moral And Eternal Implications: 

It Pleases Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

We Are To Abstain From Sin 

And 

Everything That Even Remotely Looks Like Sin 

And Instead 

Joyfully Embrace Christ's Free-To-All Salvation! 

Let Us Not Fool Ourselves! 

Eating The Crumbs Of What Will Kill You 

Will Kill You Just As Dead! 

Be Warned ... 

Self-Satisfaction

Sacrifices

Salvation

On

The Altar Of Sin! 

Let Us Fervently Pray For The Holy Spirit's Help 

To Keep Ourselves Firm In Our Resolve 

To Abstain From Anything That Looks Like Evil, Like Sin, Today! 

Peace! 

TWILIGHT ZONE: Christian Complacency!?!

How Are You Standing, Walking, Talking

And 

Behaving As A Christian!?! 

Have You Forsaken The Committing Of Sin 

And

Are Feeling Quite Self-Satisfied 

Or

Are You In That Twilight Zone 

Where You Are Guilty Of Not Doing 

What Is Good And Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Every One Of Us Who Names The Name Of Jesus Christ 

Must Guard Against Complacency

And 

Feeling All Proud Of Ourselves 

Because 

We Are Not Active Participants Being Lawless 

And 

Transgressing The Laws Of The Holy God! 

Wake Up! 

We Are In More Danger From Committing The Sins Of Omission

- Of Not Doing Right - 

And 

That Is Exactly Where The Adversary Of God

The Adversary Of Our Own Souls 

Wants Us To Get Comfortable 

Both Day And Night! 

Doing Wrong ... And Not Doing Right 

Makes Us All Ready For The Burn-Barrel 

Which Makes Satan Very Happy 

And 

Christ Jesus Very Sad! 

Knowing Right 

And 

Deliberately Doing Wrong 

Is 

The Sin Of Presumption! 

Doing Neither Right Nor Wrong 

Is 

The Sin Of Neglecting The Great Salvation 

For Which There Is No Possible Excuse! 

What Must Be Done Should Be Done! 

Doing Otherwise 

Marks Us As Being Among Those Fools Who Say That 

There Is No Living, Holy, God! 

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Sure And Secure Salvation

And

Choose To Be

And

Be Gloriously Blessed!

Satan Does Not Feed: He Steals!

Do Not Permit Him

- Or His Wage Slaves -

To Rob You Of The Good And Heavenly Food 

Provided Free And Abundantly

To Whosoever Will

And

The Blessings Personally Purchased For You

At Infinite Cost

By Our Own Creator, Savior, Lord, God 

And

Soon Returning King! 

Don't Run With The Lost Cause Brigade! 

Never Alone!?!

Selfishness

And

Self-Satisfaction

Are Prominent Members Sitting Proud 
In The Front Row In The Big Church!

They Are Known Churls!

Maledictions At Others They Love To Hurl

And

Their Favorite Expression

Often To Be Heard

Is

"Am I My Brother's Keeper!?!"

To The Flock Of The Living God's Sheep

That They Treat Like A Wandering Wild Goat Herd!

Were You To Hear Them

You Would Be Ashamed

For They Are Self-Serving

And

Do Not The Ways Of The Master Proclaim!

They Lie, Cheat, Steal

Short-Change And Gainsay

And

As For Caring For The Least Of These

The Good Lord's Dear Sheep

They Take The Greatest Pleasure

From Finding Ways

Those Things Designated For Others
Covetously For Themselves To Keep!

They Are Not Ashamed To Smooze

To Get What They Choose
And

They Are Not Ashamed To Beg

Even If What They Want Is Bootleg!

They Have Nothing In Their Character Called Shame
And

The Only Thing That Is Certain 

I Tell You Plain

Is

That Where They Are Going

Is Going To Be Hotta Flames!

Feed My Sheep!

     Feed My Lambs!

These Words Of The Master

To Their Souls Bring No Calm

For Service Requires Sweat

Blood, Love, Consideration

And

Real Tears

And

A Laying Of Burdens

At The Feet Of Him

Who For Our Purchased Souls

Does Sacrificially Care!

They Are All About Self!

Self Is A Known Sinner!
The Sinner Sins
And

Sin Is A Sore On The Soul
And

The Soul Bereft Of The Breath Of Life Is Dead!
These Two Are Playing Dead
To See What Kind Of Turn-Out They Shall Receive!
'Nuff Said!

Entreaties To Righteousness Falling On Their Ears

Leave Them "Feeling" Deaf:

They Chose Not To Hear The Nice Notes

On Either The Treble Or Bass Cleft!
Of Common Christian Decency
They Are Totally Bereft!

These Bold Sinners
Begrudge The Snails And The Slugs
A Walk On The Lord's Free Dirt!

They Forbid Mountain Springs

Free Droplets To Squirt!

They Forbid The Ants

A Fallen Rice Grain To Receive

And

They Cuss Out All Who Dare ... Their Words 

God's Great Goodness ... Free To All

Ever To Receive! 

They Are All About Me, Myself And I!
They Love Anything Call Mine!
They Consider Themselves Close To Divine
And
If They Are Not Being Talked About
Oh, Deary Me, How They Will Whine!

Brethren, Beloved,

I'll Tell You A Lil' Secret!
These Two Miscreants Fear Always To Be Alone!
They Feel Alone!
They Do Not Think To Trust In Him
Who For Their Personal Sins Did Atone
And So
They Walk In Uncertainty
Trusting Weak And Corruptible Self
And
Fearful Always Of Other Men's Malignity!
Methinks They Need New Hearts Not Made Of Stone!

Dish-Out Does Feel Real Good

But

Pay-Back Is A Female Dog!

So Much For Living

Like A Lic'rish

Never-Satisfied

Wide-Mout' Hog!

Here's A Well-Known Secret ...

Things Cannot Satisfy The Soul
Be Ye Coward, Timid Or Bold
So If You Are Feeling
Alone In The Crowd
You May Want To Take A Serious Look
At The Requirements Of Him
Who Shall Come To Earth Again
On The Angel-Cloud!

Look Within ...

We Say That We Follow Jesus 
But 
How Many Of Us Follow Jesus 
And
Always Do Those Things 
Which Always Please The Father 
So That We Are Not Left Alone!?!

Total Obedience To Almighty God 
Is 
A Necessity 
If
We Desire To Enjoy The Benefits 
And 
Reap The Rewards Of The Glorious Kingdom! 

Are You Feeling Alone!?! 
Then Take A Moment ... Or Two
And
Check Your Present Level Of Obedience
Take Corrective Measures
Seek To Please The Holy God In All That You Do 
And Then
You Will Know For Sure That 
You Are Not Alone
And
Do Walk Not Alone! 

The Blessings

Of

The Eternal, Holy, God

Await

The Obedient! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Is Always Lowly!

Jesus Christ Died The Second Death

So That I Would Not Have So To Do!

Jesus Christ Lives So That I May In Him Live

And

With Him

Highest Heaven Rise Up Unto!

Jesus Christ Prayed A Model Pray

So That I Should Know How To Pray!

Jesus Christ Cares Sacrificially For Me

So I Should Know Who To Direct My Prayers Unto

- In His Name -

Each And Every Day!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Saves To The Uttermost!

Jesus Christ Raises Up To Life

Even Those Whom The World Calls The Guttermost!

Who Are You Going To Believe!?!

The Gross Liar Or Tribe Judah's Lion!?!

Who Are You Going To Believe!?!

Damned Satan The Lost

Or

The Innocent Lamb Slain Who Lives 

But 

Was Once Dead Upon The Cursed And Cruel Cross!?!

Lies Are Oft Lofty!

Truth Is Always Lowly!

Lying Gifts Are Ultimately Useless And Always Showy

But

The Plain Blessings Of Almighty God Are Always For Man's Good

And

Ever Always For Almighty God's Glory!

Think My Brother, My Sister, My Friend!

Think People Of God From Beginning To End!

Truth Does Not Need Color, Craft, Nor Spin

And

Those Who Are Strangers To Truth

Will Never Heaven's Pearly Gates 

- By Right -

Ever, Ever, Walk In!

Trust The Lord
And 
Obey
And

Do Not By Self-Satisfaction Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay

Because

Those Who Willfully Embrace That Indulgence

Will Join Satan In The Lake Of Fire's Consuming Effulgence!

Self-Serving Costs!

Obeying The Will Of Almighty God

Will Always With Great Blessings

Substantially, Exponentially, Pay! 

Wait Patiently

Embracing The Lord's Plain Truth

And

Doing His Known Will

For

The Coming Great And Awful Day! 

Self-Denial And Self-Satisfaction Are Roads!

As A Child
Under The Age Of Consent
I Was Taught
Corrected
Encouraged
Directed
AND
Led
To Cheerful Obedience!
I Was With God's Truth Fed!

As IS to Be Expected
With The Coming Of Age
I Strove For Autonomy!
For Independence, I Sped!

With Independence
Comes Decision-Making
Walk Right!
Look Left!
Turn About!
Go All Around!
See What Fits!
AND
Indulge!
Stand Your Ground!
AND
That Was When I Reached
The Start
The Gate
Where Men Have Dates
With ... Fate!?!

Independence Road
Is For Traffic ... One Lane

Until
- With Wild Oats For Sowing -
You Arrive At The Junction
Where All Men
- For a Period Of Reflection -
Must Abide:

Walk With Jesus!

OR

Walk With Pride

Walk With Jesus:
Straight Gate
Narrow Way
Self-Denial

DESTINATION: Eternal Life

Walk With Pride:
Wide Gate
Broad Way
Self-Satisfaction

DESTINATION: Destruction

Note That ...

Innumerable People
Choose
Walk With Pride
Without Ever Knowing
Their Ultimate Destination
BECAUSE
They Stop At Reading
Self-Satisfaction
AND
Let Out THE Roar:

"Freedom To Do Me!"

They Walk Through The Wide Gate
AND
Immediately Head To The Toy Store

AND
Thence To The Restaurants
Tawdry Tastes
AND
Perverted Appetite

AND
Thence To The Theater Of Living The Life
Where The Looped Film Is
"Sensations Galore!" 
You Never Hear A Patron Snore!

There Is Vomit All Over The Floor
AND
The Patrons Are Crying
Give Me More!
Give Me More!
Give Me More!
AND
Cut Off From The Son
- The Light Of Life
The True Source For Abundant Living -
Ultimately Dying!

Those Who Choose
Walk With Jesus
Know The Whole Score
Before Walking In The Gate!

They Know Sorrow
Disappointment

AND
Hardships
AND
Ardent Service
Is Their Allotment
But, Unphased
They Hold The Extended Marred Hand
AND
With Unshaded Eyes
Walk The Narrow Gate!

Their First Companion Is 

Truth In the Inward Parts
Followed By Obedience At All Costs
Grace For The Day
Mercy For Thee Is Free
AND
Redeeming Love!

There Is Jesus' Peace That Passes Understanding
AND
Rest For The Weary Soul
AND
The Song That Cheers Along The Way!

And  ...

Who Could Forget
The Weightier Companions
There To Bless God's Friends?!

There Is The Blood
Confessing Sin
Repenting Of Known Sin
Forgiveness Of Sin
Heart Right With God
AND
Set Apart For God's Service!

And, Of Course ...

There Are The Beloved Champions
Faith For Today
Jesus Is The Way
Spirit Of The Living God
Yes, Lord!
Hope For Heaven
Angels Excelling In Strength
Good News
Blessed Assurance
Wrestling With The Lord
Victory In Jesus
Thanks Be To God
AND
JESUS SAVES

AND

That Ever Cheerful Voice

Jesus Is Coming Soon!

Walk With Jesus 
Is No Easy Road!
No Cake Walk!

ANDNo Jazz Jump Up!

It Is Hard Work
Thankless Work
BUTRefining Work
Thoroughly Necessary!

All Who Go There
Willing To Endure All
Know Of A Surety That 

Strong Is Their Lord!

They Start The Walk
Burdened
BUTThey Give All To Jesus Christ Their Lord!

They Pray Without Ceasing!
They Humble Themselves!
They Eat The Bread Of Affliction!
AND
Their Heads Don't In Pride Swell!

Their Journey Is To Salvation!
They Will To Drink Of The River Of Water Of Life!
They Study To Show That They Are Of God Approved
AND
With The Grace Of God Ever Present
They Are By The Wiles Of The Devil
Unmoved!

LIFE ... Everlasting
In The Kingdom Of God
Is Their Motivator
To Stand Against The Wily Fraud!
They Love Not Their Lives
AND

Are Willing
In Christ
To Die
AND
They Cast Not Down Truth
Into The Street
AND
They Will Not Love
Use
Nor Accept
The Ever Convenient Lie!

Their Home Is Heaven!
Their Lord Is The Holy God!
Their Comfort Is The Holy Spirit!
Their Good Influencers
Are

The Holy Angels
Not

The Fallen Angels Of Satan The Liar
The Murderer
The Fraud!

There Is An Anticipated Celebration!
A Banquet!
A Coronation!
A Feast!

They Will Sit Down At The Welcome Table
AND
Jesus Christ
Their King
The Redeemer
Their Savior
Will Serve Them
Before Their Bright Mansion
Become Their Forever Homes!

BRETHREN ...

Please Read The Entire Sign Post
Before You Make Your Decision For 

Your Future Life!

There Is No Do-Over

Once One Ceases From Corporeal Life!

Do Not Become Blinded
By Convenience And Ease
For
Come THE Day Of Vengeance
Jesus Christ
- The Judge Of All Men -
Will Give Garments Of Righteousness
Immortality
Incorruption
Only To Those
Who Chose To Walk With Jesus
Holding Him In Their Hearts Close!

When You Love The Lord Christ

And

His Truth

And

Are Obedient

And

Take Correction

And

Direction 

You Will Never Face Destruction!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FALSE ACCUSATIONS : Overcoming

In The Face Of Accusation
It Is Normal
Even Expected
That The Human Heart Should Fear
BUT
A Christian
Accused Wrongly For Right-Doing
Should
- In Gladness -
Cheer!

Was Not Jesus The Christ
Falsely Accused?

Yes, He Was! So We Are In Good Company!

The Day Is Here
When Wrong Is Right
When Evil Is Good
When Darkness Is Light
When In The Streets
Truth
Is Cruelly Cast Down
AND
Evil Surmising's Patina
Is On Fleek!

Lord, Have Mercy On Your Children Meek!

Dear Child Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
Be Not Dismayed
At What Your Blind Eyes Doth See!
Your Body May Feel Real Pain
Your Heart May Hurt
But, Be Assured
Because
In The Eyes Of The Heavenly Father
You Are Smelling Daisies
Not Covered
Buried
In Sin's Light-Quenching Dirt!

So ...

Let Us Trust In Our Father's Provision!
Let Us Bask Beautifully In The Father's Care!
Let Us Rest Assured Of The Great Rejoicing
When 
With New Name In Hand
We Shall Celebrate In The Father's House!
In Anticipation, Let's All Say:

Hip! Hip! Hooray!

The Devil Is The Liar!
Evil Men Do His Dirty Work
BUT
Believing Ones Who
In God's Grace - By Mercy -
Do Firm Stand
Shall
In The Glad Day
With The Eternal Jesus Present
Glorify God
AND
To Heights Unknown Rise
Passing Over What We Now Call Skies!

Earth's Treats Are Sin-Battered Bitter
BUT
The Eternal God's Heavenly Treats
Are
Truly Beautifully
Salvation Sweet!

With God's Grace
Shining On Your Face
There Is Nothing
That The Devil Can Do
From God's Love
You To Displace!

Child Of God
Take Your Torments
Accept Your Lumps
AND

Bear Your Cross

In The Name Of Jesus
AND
With His Faith
You -  As An Overcomer -
Shall Bow Your Head
To Accept
Salvation's Gold Crown!

Charity Suffereth Long
AND

Is Kind!

Be Calm And Considerate

For

Your God Is Divine!
Misrepresentations Of The Faithful
Are His To Unravel
AND

False Accusers

- Always Guilty -
Will Feel
The Reverberation Of His
"You Are Guilty!"
Banging Gavel!

Rabid Sinners Gain All Now

To Lose All Later!

Obedient Saints Lose All Now

To Gain All Later!

Jesus Christ Saves

Fed-Up-With-Sin Sinners

Not

Self-Satisfied

Pretending-To-Be-Saints Saints!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Nature Of Evil

The Nature Of Evil
Gratifies Ego
AND
Glorifies Self
For The Sole Purpose Of Getting 
The Evil One's Name
Into
The Glaringly Glorious Spotlight
AND
Off Of 
The Insignificant Ones' Shelf!

Satan's Overmastering Self-Love
In Its Full And Final Bloom
Ripped Heaven Apart
Because Of Satan's Willingness To Prove
That He
- After Acting The Part
Of Agent Provocateur
Union Representative
Free-Range Parent -
Could Be A Better Self-Appointed God 
Than The Self-Incarnate Almighty Holy God!

Do We Need To Ask
How That Power-Play Worked Out For
The Wanna-be God?!

Evil Holds No Outward Love
For Its Love
Is 
To Self
Totally Unabashedly Inclined
AND
If Telling The Outliers
That Within Its Gross Actions Is 
Brotherly Even Unto Godly Love
It Will Do It For The Purpose Of Gaining Cooperation
Without The Use Of
The Iron Fist In Kid Gloves!

Forked Tongue Does Bitter-Speech Sweet!

What Love Is To The Human Heart
Hate Is To The Satanically-Inspired Heart!
Where Peace Will Calm
The Raging Storm
Satan And His Henchmen
Will Stir The Wind
To Cause A Storm
That Will Intentionally Inflict Harm
AND
Thereafter
Blame The Holy God!

It Ever Works Like The Proverbial Charm!

Evil Is Always Activated By Envy
Greed
Lust
AND
Hate
Even Though The Beholder
Has More Than Plenty
On Its Plate!

Look At The Heart
In The Body Specially Prepared
By The Creator God
Who
Discontented
With All It Had Blessedly Received
Wanted For Itself
All That The Creator Kept To Himself
Inside His "Sleeve!"

The 10th Commandment
Speaks Of Covetousness For A Reason
For
Lust Of The Flesh
Birthed Within The Lustful Eye
Is Always Going To Cause
"The Fur To Fly!"
AND
The Accursed Pride
That Bane Of The Human Soul
Is Always Ever Ready
To Make
The Pride Of Life
The Unregenerate Heart's
Life Guide
AND
Sole Goal!

The Covetous Heart Will Kill!

Evil Is Guided By
Me
For Me
To Me
In Me
By Me
See Me
How Do You Like Me ... NOW?!
You Should Have Loved Me ... THEN!
I AM The Cause Of Your Felt Mayhem!
Life Is A Bastard Now!
Ahem! AHEM!

Evil Is Full
Of Bloatware
AND
Gloat-ware
AND
Every Any Thing
Which Will Of Said Evil
Inspire
Dread Fear
Compliments Of The Big Goat Fair!

Evil Is A Cancer
For Which There Is Only One Known Cure:

The Acceptance
Of The Love By Holy Sacrifice
Of The Living
Once Dead
AND
Alive For Evermore
Jesus The Christ
The Way To Eternal Life!
AND
Those Who Believe
That Economic
AND
Political
AND
Ecumenical Religious Means
Will Eradicate Evil's Deep-seated Curse
May As Well Pick A Polished Brass Number
AND
Wait ... For The Inevitable Luxury Automobile Called Hearse!

Say It With Me:

Jesus Christ In

Evil Out!

Holy Spirit Moves In

And

Satan Suffers A Terminal Rout!

Prayer Is Power!

Constant Praying Is Powerful!

Denying Self And Lifting Up Christ

Arms Us With Spiritual Weapons

With Which We Can Satanic Agencies Fight!

Immerse Your Mind In Jesus Christ

Who Is Himself Truth

And Valiantly Carry

The Word Of God

And

Shield Your Soul

With Your Measure Of Jesus' Faith

To Repel The Fiery Darts

With WhichThe Wicked Do You Shell
Hoping To Make You Fall
And 
At The Fullness Of Time
Join Them
In The Appointed Hell!

Live Right By Doing Righteous Deeds

And 

Decidedly Protect Your Head

So That Fired Rocks
Won't You Kill Dead (Like Goliath)!

Don't Set Aside Your Helmet!

It Is Your Soul's Salvation!

Let Your Well-shod Feet

Carry You Around 

To Teach The Gospel Of Jesus' Peace

Letting The World Know

What God

- Through Jesus Christ -

Has Done For You

And Will ... For Them, Too!

*********

Never Give In To Evil!

Never Give Up Your Faith In God!

Death In Christ 
Before
Dishonor By Disbelief

And
Trumpet 

God's Eternal Damnation

Upon
The Vile Corrupter-In-Chief!

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus ...
