VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Get Rid Of The C.O.W Thing!

If You Have And Hold Every C.O.W 

Aka Common Ordinary Worthless Thing 

As Precious

A Priority

And 

A Pass-Key To Your Affections

Pray Tell How Is The Lord Of Life

The King Of Glory

Supposed To Knock At Your Door 

To Get Your Attention To Bid Him Enter!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Get Real Here! 

Jesus Christ Is Not Going To Knock

At The Door Of Your Man-Made Mansion! 

He Desires Entry Into Your Heart-House

Where Your Invitation To Him To Enter 

Will Seriously Do You A World And An Eternity Of Good! 

Dear Ones, 

There Are Vicious Winds Of Strife

Devastatingly Destructive Earthquakes

And

Gluttonously Hungry Walls Of Fire 

Seeking To Put Paid To Your Existence 

And Then

There Is The Still, Small, Voice  

Waiting For Us To Be In Solitude 

... In Sorrow If Necessary ... 

In Quiet Contemplation

To Be Heard! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Get Your Basics In-House 

Before Bedlam Has You On Blast! 

Get Rid Of Your Rubbish! 

Almighty God Is Here, Present, And Appealing: 

Be Still! 

Satan Is Here, Present, Deceiving: 

Of The Word Take Your Fill 

And

Remember That All That Fills Our Soul Is Jesus! 

Answer The Door!

Peace!  

Spirit Or Flesh, Liars Lie!

The Devil And His Henchmen ... Both Witting And Deceived

Would Have Us To Believe That We Live In This World Alone 

And

That From Sin, Self, Sorrow, And Shame 

We Will Never Be Free! 

The Devil Is The Liar ... The Father Of Lies

And 

Sin ... With Its Accessories 

Is 

The Condition That Can Only Be Cured By The Kind King

Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

Dear Ones, 

I Beseech Us All:

Do Not Into Doubt, Disbelief, And Deviltry 

Be Deceptively Lured By Satan

The Prince Damned For All Eternity 

And 

Famous For Suffering From A Fatal Case Of "Self And I!" 

Please Be Wise 

And 

Choose To Set Aside Self 

And 

Seriously Seek The Savior! 

Beloved, 

The Walk Of Faith Is Not Easy 

But

The Free Gift Of Faith 

Is 

Freedom To Be Free In 

And

Walk With Jesus Christ 

And

To Walk With Him And Not Be Weary! 

Our Father Is In Heaven 

And 

He Watches Over Me And Thee! 

Wait Upon The Lord 

And 

Humbly, Faithfully, Enduringly Do His Bidding

And 

From Sin's Mastery Be Free! 

Willingly ... Wisely

Give Your Free Will To The Lord Jesus Today! 

Peace!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Would You Take 1,000 Carefree Days Now And ...!?!

Which Would You Prefer To Have By Your Side: 

A Dozen Bruised, Broke, Honest 

And 

Faithful Performing Christians

With The Meek And Gentle Spirit 

Against Which There Is No Law 

Or 

One Hundred Polished, Rich, Dishonest

And 

Unfaithful, Disrespectful Evil-Doers 

Who Can Purchase Man-Judgment 

But 

Cannot Buy-Off The Judge Of All Flesh!?! 

Beloved, 

Would You Put You Your Life 

In The Hands Of Men Who Pervert Justice And Judgment 

Or

Would You Bless Yourself 

And

Place Your Life And Times 

Into The Hands Of Him Who Gave You Life 

And 

Determines The Length Of Your Days Upon This Earth!?! 

Would You Take 1,000 Care-Free Days Now 

And 

Lose Eternity To Come 

Or

Would You Accept 1001 Days Of Joy And Sorrow Now 

And

Receive The Joys Of Everlasting Life 

On The Blood-Promised Tomorrow 

By Standing In And Exercising Jesus Christ's Gift To You Of 

A Portion Of His Unfailing Faith!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Be Wise And Recognize That 

Your Decision Now 

Is 

The Difference Between Short Time And Almost Sweet Things 

Whilst Headed For Damnation 

And

Eternity And Everlasting Joys 

In The Holy God's Sweet, Sweet, Tomorrow 

In The Heavenly Canaan! 

Let Us Dare To Actively And Aggressively Learn The Difference 

Between Sweet Things And Everlasting Joys 

Because

Only One Comes Without Sorrow! 

Jesus Successfully Saves! 

Peace! 

Banking At I-Know Aka The Savings-No Loan Operation!

The Compass Has Four Points! 

We Are In The Middle! 

Decisions Must Be Made! 

We Are Headed Home! 

Ahead Is The Sea Of Sorrow And The Sea To Salvation! 

To The Left Is The Desert Of Damnation! 

To The Right Is Mount Misery! 

Behind Us Are The Dealers Of Certain Death

The Butchers Of The Land 

From Whence We Just Gloriously Escaped 

After Our God ... The True And Living God

Authorized And Achieved Our Rich Deliverance! 

But Now, We "See" No Way Out 

Until The Voice Of Faith Is Heard Joyfully Saying: 

"The Lord Be Praised! 

The Lord Is In Our Midst! 

He Is Above Us, Over Us, And Around Us! 

We Will Get Through!" 

Beloved, 

The Devil Is The Liar! 

We Must Go Forward! 

We Go Through To Come Through! 

We Must Look Up To Live! 

We Cannot Live And Eternally Prosper 

On I-Feel

I-Hear

And 

I-See! 

We Must Bank At I-Know

The Savings-No Loans Operation 

Led By He-Cares 

Who Does Not Abide Pipe Dreams Or Pie In The Sky By And By! 

Another Cry Goes Up: 

"Praying Is Power!

Song Is A Strong Weapon Against Despair!" 

Yet Another Voice Is Heard Saying: 

"His Grace Is Always Greater Than Our Sin!" 

Dear One, 

Please Hear Yourself Saying: 

"My Faithful, Obedient, Endurance Is The Cure-For-All!" 

Listen To Jesus The Christ As He Gently Says: 

"Gather Around, Children! 

Draw Nearer! 

Shelter, Be Safe, Under My Wings!" 

Choose To Believe

And 

Be Blessed! 

Peace!

  

 

Stop Helping Satan The Damned Feel Good!

Many Of Us Are Not Wise! 

Have You Considered That 

Our Dear Lord Tells Us To Do Good 

And 

Good Will Attend Us 

And 

To Consider Our Ways ... And ... Be Wise

For A Reason!?! 

Beloved, 

If Doing Good Causes Good To Attend Us Aka Take Care Of Us

Then It Stands To Reason That 

When We Do Bad, Down-Right Corrupt Evil Things

Then Bad, Down-Right Corrupt Evil Things 

Will Assuredly Take Up Residence 

In Our Comfy Chair And Nice Bed 

To Make Sure That We Reap What We Sow 

And

With Bitterness And Sorrow

Eat What We Maliciously Caused To Abundantly Grow! 

Think ... 

Would You Enjoy Manufacturing A Weapon That You Know 

Is 

Definitely Going To Be Used To Execute You!?! 

Obviously, The Answer Is A Resounding "No!" 

Since This Is So

Then Why Are We Who Know Right From Wrong 

And

Good From Evil

Indulging In Idiocy To Help Satan The Damned 

Feel Good About His Day's Work 

Against Our Striving For The Lord Of Glory's 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Priceless Commendation!?! 

The Plain Truth ...

Satan Can't Go Back Home To Heaven! 

We, By Enduring Faith And Obedience, Can! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Let Us Examine Ourselves 

And 

Discover Aka Expose Our Rank Motives 

For Indulging In Lawlessness Aka Sin! 

Let Us Choose To Daily Die To Sin And Selfishness 

So That We Will Live For Salvation 

And

With Charity Aka Love For All Mankind!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Unimpeachable, Indestructible, Records Are Being Kept!

Be Wise For Your Own Self 

And 

Boldly Decide To Ever Do What Is Good And Right! 

Peace!

Committing Sin Is Natural:

No Effort Is Required! 

Doing What Is Good And Right

Requires

A Free-Will

Firm

Faithful To The Lord Christ

Bold 

Conscious Decision! 

There Are Consequences To Either Act:

Choose Wisely! 

Praise Almighty God Anyhow, Anywhere ... Just Because!

Are You Willing, By The Living God's Great Grace

To Tell John Q. Public And Ms. Anony Mous 

Of All That The Lord Has Done

Is Doing And Will Do For You 

Or

Are You Sooo Caught Up In 

"Woe Is Me!" 

And 

"Why Me, Lord!" 

That You Fail To Recognize That Almighty God Is Good

That He Loves You Personally

And 

Has Repeatedly Saved You From Yourself 

And

From Besetting Sin

And 

Has Made Your Heart Radiantly Glad 

When You, With Limited Vision

Had No Idea What You Would Or Could Do 

If

Tomorrow Brought Another Misery

Trial Of Faith

Health Scare

Financial Setback

Emotional Distress

Or Unexpected Grief Or Sorrow!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Guilty Of Begging Almighty God For Good Gifts 

And

Having Received Them ... And More Besides

Forgetting Or Even Unwisely Neglecting 

To Give Our God Thanks And Bold Praise! 

We Are Guilty Of Making Agreements With The Lord 

And

Brazenly Breaking Them 

After The Lord Has Amazingly Delivered 

The Delights Of Life To Us! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

Let Us From This Moment On 

Daringly Decide To Praise The Lord Anyhow

Anywhere 

And

Just Because!

Let Us Decide To Thank God 

For Helping Us To Admit, Again, That 

Having Another Reason

Another Day To Need Him

And 

To Be Glad To Praise Him For Life

Is 

Our Blessing ... Our Blessed Gift ... Today! 

The "Price" For Living 

Is 

Prayer And Praise: 

Just Do It! 

The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God

Does Not Lie!

Peace! 

THE COMFORTER HAS COME: Humble Yourself In The Sight Of The Lord!

Without The Abiding Presence Of 

The Holy Spirit Of Truth Attending Us

Comforting Us

Teaching Us

And 

Feeding Us The Truth That Saves

Not One Of Us Will Know Aka Experience 

A Peaceful Existence! 

The Lord Jesus Said At His Departure

- After His First Advent -

That He Would Send Us Another Comforter! 

We Would Only Need Another Comforter 

If 

The First One Departed From Being With Us! 

We Would Only Need A Comforter 

If 

We Have Sorrow, Hurt, Shame

A Need That The Comforter ... Alone

Can And Does Heal! 

Beloved, 

Whatever Is Your Need

We Have The Power 

The Leave 

The Permission Of Our Maker

To Ask The Lord 

To Pour Out Of His Sweet Spirit ... By Measure ... Upon Us 

And 

Indwell Us Individually, Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Tiny Terrors

Big Bills

Lost Loves

Failing Finances

Acute Anger

Lurching Loneliness

Worrying Weariness

Or Creeping Compromise 

And 

Gross Greed 

To Stay Your Heart From Humbling Yourself 

Before The Lord Of Love And Life 

To Ask Forgiveness

To Receive Cleansing 

And 

Experience Needed Comfort 

Without Which We Are Just Like Animals 

Awaiting Approaching Death! 

Dare To Choose Peace! 

Call Out And Pray For The Holy Spirit 

And 

Be Comforted

Be At Rest

Because

The Living God Glorious 

Is 

Waiting ... Willing ... Able ... Ready ...  To Help Thee! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

To This Very Day

Still Free!

The I AM That Is ... For Us!

 

It Is The Latest Catch-Phrase: 

"It Is What It Is!" 

And 

Everybody Is Buying And Selling It! 

Whoo Hoo! 

There Is A Bounding, Binding, Truth That Was

That Now Is

And

That Shall Be Forevermore: 

"I AM That I AM!" 

And 

We Would All Do Well To Run To It

Stand By It 

And

Live For It 

For It Is The Dear Name Of 

The Great God Who Is Our Maker, Savior

Redeemer, Friend, God And King 

And

Judge

Protector, Provider, Hope And Help

The Lover Of Our Souls Who Loves Us With A Sacrificial 

And

Everlasting Love 

Who Hates Sin 

But 

Loves Us Sinners

Who Will Not Clear The Guilty 

But

Will Cleanse Us Of The Guilt Of Our Own Sin! 

This God ... Our God Almighty

Is 

Amazingly Awesome 

And

He Is Slow To Be Angry With Us Frail, Finite 

And 

Often Foolish Creatures

 ... And ... 

Glory Be To Jesus Christ Who Saves

Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Abides

He Loves Us With The Everlasting Love That 

Will Chastise Sin

Correct Bad Habits

Comfort Sorrow And Pain

Carry The Helpless

And

Celebrate Our Victories Over Sin And Self! 

Beloved, 

Let's Embrace The Unchanging God ... The I AM

And 

Celebrate That ... In Him 

We Have Salvation From Sin Known Sordid! 

Be Free: 

Almighty God ... I AM That I AM ... Is For Us! 

Pursue Peace With Shiloh

The Prince Of Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + JESUS' PEACE: Don't Give Away What You Can't Purchase!

Oh, To Be At Perpetual Rest! 

There Is Temptation From The Enemy Called Self ... Within 

And 

There Is Molestation From The Adversary, Satan ... Without! 

Sin Knocks At The Heart's Door Where We Live

And

Whenever And Wherever We Walk About!

Guard Your Heart!

Are You Tired ... And Weary

Ever Running From Known Foes!?! 

Then Rest Ye In Christ Jesus 

Who Does Your Every Sorrow Know! 

Remember That This Life Is Temporary

That Jesus Has Already Won Victory For Us 

Over The Known Adversary Our Rabid Foe 

And

Dare To Rest In The Love Of Him Who Calls Us

In Him Whose Feelings For Us Do Constantly Show! 

In Jesus Is Rest! 

In Jesus Is Our Present Peace! 

In Jesus Is Peace That Passes Human Understand 

And

Rest For The Weary-Of-Sin Soul! 

In Jesus, We Have Rest For Body, Mind And Spirit! 

We May Labor By Jesus' Faith That Cannot Fail 

And 

Dare To Longingly Look For The Rest That 

Is 

Known Eternal!

Soon Will Be Consumed That Damned Enemy Infernal! 

Trust The Lord And Obey! 

Live For Jesus And Pray! 

Walk Wisely 

And 

Dare To Look Up 

For He Who Calls You Is Coming: 

He Holds The Judgment Book 

And 

Our Great Reward! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Yield To What Can't Prosper Your Soul! 

Write Good In Your Book So That In The Great Day 

You Will Emerge As Gold! 

Dare To Trust The Lord Through The Eyes Of 

Living, Enduring, Working-By-Love Faith 

And

Find Sweet Rest In 

And 

On The Eternal Rock 

Firm And Secure Through Time 

And 

For Eternity To Come! 

Peace For Us Is Free

But

It Was Costly

To Our Almighty God

To Jesus Christ The Lord:

Don't Give Away

What You Can't Purchase!

Give Heed To The Holy Spirit!

NO TRAMP STAMP: Take The Name And Give Your All To And For Jesus Christ!

If You Will Turn Your Eyes Toward Jesus Christ In The Day Of Your Trial

Make It A Practice ... A Habit

- A Reason For Being -

To Turn Your Eyes Toward Our Blessed Lord 
Every Moment Of Every Day! 

Make The Informed Decision ...

Turn To Jesus Christ In Joy Or Sorrow

For Pleasure

In Pain

With Need

Through Despair

For Comfort

And 

Just To Share! 

Listen, Obey And Live!

The Lord Loves Us So Much That 

He Put His Two Hands To The Plow:

His Two Hands Were Stretched Out For Us On Calvary's Cross 

With His Two Feet Firmly Nailed Down To Earth! 

We Claim That We Love Him And Bless His Holy Name! 

We Declare That We Pray With Passion And Power

And 

Swear That We Are Too Blessed By His Holy Hand 

To Be Stressed By The World's Aka The Devil's Plans! 

That's All Well And Good 

But

If Truth Be Told

Our All-In-With-Jesus Effort 
- Which Would See Us Saved Eternally -

Equals Only 99% Commitment! 

Beloved, 

Let's Stop Being Chickens Laying Eggs For The Lord 

And 

Let's Become Pascal Lambs

The Clean ... The Perfect ... Sacrifice

Truly Suitable For The Altar Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

If You Are On Fire For Jesus 

And 

End Up In The Flames For His Name

Rest Assured That He Will Be With You

And

In The Great Day Of Celebration

You Will Wear The Gold Crown

And 

The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 

And

Permanently Bear His Name! 

Be Brave! 

The Name Of The Lord

Upon Your Person

Is Not 

A Tramp-Stamp

Nor An Underground Slave Brand!

It Is The Royal Seal

On

The Child Of The Living God! 

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

Let No One Steal Your Name

Nor Your Crown!

**--**--**--**--** 

Walk Humbly

Obediently

Expectantly

And

Enduringly

Before The Lord Of Life! 

SHUT IN WITH THE LORD CHRIST: Without Any Stain Of Disgrace!

Where Are We Going!?!
Home!

How Are We Going To Get There!?!
Safely!

Who Is Our Guide!?!
Jesus The Christ!?!

Who Or What Is Our Adversary!?!
Satan, Sin ... And Self!?!

What Are Our Weapons!?!
Faith, Obedience, And Prayer!?!

Who Will Protect Us!?!

The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength!

Who Is Our Teacher!?!
The Holy Spirit Of Truth!

Where Shall We Shelter!?!
In The Secret Place Of Prayer!

What Is Our Caution!?!
Remember Lot's Wife: Do Not Look Back!

What Is Our Necessary Food!?!
The Eternal Word Of The Living God!
The Living Word Of The Eternal God!

What Shall We Guard Against!?!
The Spirit Of Error!?!

What Shall We Embrace!?!
The Spirit Of Truth!

What Are We To Worry About!?!
Nothing!

What Should We Pray About!?!
Everything!

Why Should We Pray And Not Worry!?!
We Are Christians ... Christ's Followers
And We Are Charged To Pray And Not Faint!
We Are Not Worry Because Worrying Speaks Of Doubt!

Why Should We Avoid Doubt!
Doubt Is Of The Devil!
We Believe In The Living God
In Whom We Have Faith!
Faith Holds No Doubt!
We Are, By His Grace, Faithful!

Is The Journey Home Going To Be Easy!?!
No, It Is Not!
The Lord Never Promised Us An Easy Road!
The Lord Promised Us That We Shall Arrive Safely!

But ...

What If We Should Die On The Road Home!?!

That Is Not A Problem!
The Lord Has Promised That
If We Live In Him ... Exercising Our Gift Of Faith
Enduring All Things Without Murmuring
Without Complaining
And Endure The Struggle To The End Of Life
We Shall Rise Up When He Shall Come
At The Sound Of The Last Trumpet
To Live With Him Forevermore!
The Lord's Word ... The Transcript Of His Character
Is His Covenant With Us: We Believe The Word Of God!?!

What Can Stop Us From Reaching Home Safely!
Turning Aside To Fables
Trusting Man's Opinion Over Almighty God's Word
Refusing To Abide In The "Thus Saith The Lord!"
Being Willful
Being Disobedient
Being Proud
Being Covetous
And Like Kindred Errors!

What Are The Three Tests That We Shall Face!?!
The Same Tests As Did Jesus Christ Our Lord:
The Lust Of The Eye
The Lust Of The Flesh And
The Pride Of Life!

Our Eyes Are Focused And Fixed On Our Lord!
Our Flesh, By Our Hearts, Is Abiding In Almighty God!
We Have Nothing To Be Proud About!
We Are Sinners Saved By The Lord's Grace
And It Is Our Intention ... With Willing Obedience
Abiding Love And Faithful Endurance
To See Him Face To Face ... In Peace
Without Any Stain Of Disgrace!

Hear The Right ...

The Lord Is My Shepherd
My Refuge, My Strength
He Leads Me Into Green Pastures
And
My Thinking Of Him Are Thoughts Well Spent!

Many Are My Foes
But 
My Friend Is The Holy One!
My Burdens For Me Are Heavy
But 
My Friend Carries Every Last One!

I Believe That The Lord Is
And 
I Trust Him With My Life!
My Life Is Hid With Christ In Almighty God 
And
Because I Live In Him
I Shall Not Fall For The Satanic Device!

Living For Self

Is As Bearing

An Unliftable Cross!

Some Truth Is All Error!
Some Love Is All Hate!
Some Disobedience Is All Witchcraft
And 
No Gainsaying Person Shall Enter Heaven's Gates!

I Desire Oil, Water And Fire:
The Oil Of Gladness
The Cleansing Flood
And
The Heat Of Purification
All Of Which Come Only From The Holy God On High
From The God Of All Grace
Whom ... By His Blessed Grace For Me
I Shall Not Defy
I Shall Not Deny!
The God Of Grace Cannot Lie!

I Do Not Walk This Life Alone!
I Am A Child Of The Great King!
Prayer Is My Telephone!
I Need No Tokens, No Cards, No Access Codes!
I Start With A Humble Heart Longing For Him!
From His Love, I Shall Never Depart!

Those Who Choose To Walk In The Faith Of The Lord Jesus

Though Molested, Tried, Tempted, Tormented

Abused And Disregarded By The Society Of The Wicked

Shall Reap The Reward Of The Righteous

- Everlasting Peace And Joy In And With The Lord - 

As Long As They Remain Enduringly Faithful In Their Pilgrim Walk! 

Bad Things Happen To Good People: Be Faithful! 

Good Things Happen To Bad People: Watch Them Enjoy It

- No Sorrow On Your Part - 

For That Enjoyment Shall Cease Forever At Their Demise! 

We Who Trust In Jesus Christ

- Though We Die In The Flesh As All Men - 

Have A Future ... An Expected End! 

Do Not Envy The Proud ... Nor The Wicked! 

Trust In Jesus Christ Always 

And 

In All Ways For Real Joy 

And 

Perfect Peace!

There Is No Risk Involved

When One Relies Upon

Heaven's Majesty

Jesus Christ The Lord, The King!
