VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith, Wrath, Doubt!?!

Okay!
Now Let's Move One To

Faith Is A Conviction: 
No Tangible Proof To Have Faith ... To Believe ... Is Required! 

We Need Faith 
If 
We Are Going To Pray To The Unseen 
And 
Almighty God! 

Wrath Is Extreme Anger: 
Most People Need No Excuse To Become Wrath-Filled! 
Wrath Is The Choice 
And 
Favored Tool Of The Damned Devil! 

Doubt Is A Conviction: 
To Break Its Hold
Tangible Proof 
Is 
Required 
And Even Then
It Takes A Harsh Death 
To Make It Relinquish Its Dastardly Hold! 

Beloved, 

All Of Us Who Choose Jesus Christ The Savior 
For Soul Satisfaction 
Must Give Up Wrath 
And 
Kill Doubt! 

We Must Embrace Faith 
And 
Abundantly Use The Daily Gift Of Faith 
Sure To Be Received! 

Despise The Words Of The Naysayers
And
The Gainsayers
We Don't Have To Find Resources Within Ourselves 
To Be Able To Have Faith In Almighty God: 
Jesus Christ Daily Gives Unto Us, Individually
A Share Of His Faith ... Which He Has Without Measure 
To Use To Help Us To Believe In Him
And 
Upon His Word
And
To Believe That He Loves Each One Of Us 
Individually
And
Personally 
And
Sacrificially! 

In The Name Of The Only One Holy
Please Exercise Faith
Decimate Doubt
And 
Dispossess Wrath
And 
Lift Up Holy Hands To Heaven
And 
Give Thanks For Present, Saving Grace 
With A Grateful Heart
And
Bless God For Coming Glory 
Which We ... Faithful ... Shall Surely Share! 

Dare To Believe! 
See To It That You Pray 
And 
In The Name Of Our Prince Shiloh
Be At Peace! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, 

Our Almighty God Is Good 

And Faithful 

And Can Be Depended Upon 

In All Things That Concern Us! 

Please "Use" The Lord For Love In Your Life 

To Get His Life Of Love! 

Please Let The Lord Use You 

And 
Your Love For Him 

To Show His Love To Others! 

Dear Ones,

This Is What Is Known As A Win-win Situation! 

Please Make Total Use Of Its Steps Regularly! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Asher

I Said That There Is No Happiness

Outside Of The Lord Jesus Christ

And

He Said: "Bite Your Tongue!"

And Ever Since Then

He's Been Walking About Like That!

Who Are You Guys Talking About!?! 

Asher! 

What's Wrong With Him!?! 

Why Don't You Ask Him And Find Out For Yourself!?! 

Okay! 

Heyyyy, Asher! 

How Are You Doing!?! 

I'm Happy! 

I Used To Be Happy! 

I Thought I Was Happy! 

I'm Not Happy! 

When Will I Be Happy!?! 

Where Is Happy!?! 

Are You Happy!?! 

Who Is Happy!?! 

You Can't Buy Happy! 

I Thought I Cornered The Market On Happy ...! 

... Ooookay, Asher! 

That's Good To Know ... Hear! 

Merciful Powers! 

What Happened To Asher!?! 

He Sounds Like He Lost Mind! 

Oh, No! 

He's Still There! 

It's Just That He Is Finally Realizing That

Being "Happy" With Things Is ...! 

... Temporal And Temporary!?! 

Well, Yes! 

May I Assume That You Attended This Rodeo Before!?! 

Oooh, Yes! 

And It Was A Doozy

And I Got Thrown From My Horse

And I Got Gored By That Wild Bull Called Sin

And I Got A Deep Dip In A Bath Of Rotten Tomatoes Called Self

And At The End Of It All

I Came To The Realization

The Very Painful Realization That

Being Carnally, Temporally, Happy

Aka Happy Without My Jesus Being The Point Of My Life 

My Living

My Living My Life

My Life Being Made Worth Living

My Loving

Then I Would Never Be Permanently Happy!

That's Bible, Brother!

Asher Is Feeling Pain ... Now
But
He Should Be Glad
Because 

When We Live In Godly Fear
We Have Nothing To Be Afraid Of
Even If We Have No Home, No Family
No Money, No Food
No Friends ... No Earthly Hope!

Asher!?! 

You Listening!?! 

Yes! 

I'm Hearing You! 

I Know You Are Hearing: You're Not Deaf! 

I Want To Know If You're Actively Listening

Aka Internalizing What You're Hearing!?! 

I Don't Want To ... But I Am! 

Good! Good!

That's Very Good! 

What Else You Got!?! 

I'm Convicted! 

I'm Chewing! 

Now Convince Me! 

Show Me Light! 

I Need Something To Swallow! 

I Need Something To Permanently Satisfy My Soul! 

I Am Hungry! 

I Need Meat On These Dry Bones! 

Oh, My! 

He's Been Really Listening! 

Didn't I Tell You That He Was Still In There!?! 

Yes, Indeed, You Did! 

Well, Brethren
We All Heard Him!
He Has Asked For Meat! 

Jesus Christ Is A Plate Of Good Food! 

You, Man

Must Spear A Morsel With Your Fork!

The Holy Spirit

The Cleaver Of Truth

Cuts A Bite-Size Piece For Your Chewing

And You, Man

Must Raise Your Fork To Your Mouth

If ... When 
You Truly Desire Good Eats! 

Asher, This One's For You: 

Asher!?!
You're Crying!

No, I'm Not!
My Eyeballs Are Just Sweating!

Okay! If You Say So!
Can You Tell Us Why Your Eyeballs Are Sweating!?!

Do You Know What My Name Means!?!

Of Course, We Do!
Everybody Knows Your Name Means Happy!

Happy! That's Me!
Do I Look Happy!?!
I Must Be Happy ...!

... In Christ Jesus!

Yes! Yes! 

I Finally Get It! 

Jesus Christ Must Be First, Last And Always! 

Jesus Christ In Our Lives

Is 
For The Best! 

Take A Listen, Again, To The First And Last Verses Of The Text:

KJV Proverbs 3

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,

and the man that getteth understanding.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Wisdom Comes From The Lord God Almighty ... Alone! 

All Who Look For Jesus Christ

- Who Is Now Calling To Man - 

Shall Find Him

And

Wisdom

And

Shall Gain The Understanding 
To Strive For Heavenly Things Which Are Eternal! 

You Need To Let Your Striving 
For The Things Of This Earth Cease

Because

The Lord Has Promised Us An Eternal Home

A New Name

A Crown Of Life

Water From The River Of Water Of Life

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

And 

A Life Ever Close To Him Who Is Life! 

Earthly Riches

- Be They Silver, Gold, Toys, Houses Or Land -

Will All Burn! 

We All Need To Buy The Free Clue
To Rightly Adjust Our Stinking Thinking:

The Streets Of The Beloved City

- The Beautiful City - 

New Jerusalem

Are All Paved With Imperishable Gold

And

The Foundations Of The City Are Precious Stones And...! 

... Don't Forget That

The Twelve Gates Of The City

Are Each A Single Pearl! 

Not To Be Mercenary Or Any Such Thing

But Put Like That

I Know For Sure That I Need To Live For Jesus Christ! 

Brother, 

We All Started With The Mercenary Bit

But

We Love Our Lord Jesus 
Because 
He First Loved Us

And

Everything He Has Promised 

The Things We Can Touch, Taste, Feel, See, Smell

Are All Bonus! 

We Desire His Life! 

His Character! 

We Desire Him

And

We Desire His Heart To Delight

Because

He Brings Us Joy

Aka He Is Our Happy...ness

Our Happiness! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Joy
And
He Will Bring You Joy ... Happiness
If You Will Let Him!

Brothers, Believe Me!
From Here On In
I Am Going To Let Him!
My Way Has Not Worked
Soooo, Having Nothing To Lose
I Am, Indeed, Going To Try
The Jesus Way!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sin's Pressing In BUT ... I'm Pressing On!

The Half Had Not Been Told
But
There I Was Seeking After Christ
And
His Righteousness!
I Wanted Eternal Life In The Safe Fold!

As Directed

I Had Considered The Things That Were
True Honest Just Pure Lovely

And

Those That Had Had A Good Report
And
I Had Arrived At Salvation Station! 

I Had Checked In My Heavy Bag Of Sin
And Eagerly
- Though Somewhat Anxiously -
Had Taken My Seat
On The Glory Bound Local! 

I Had Thought To Catch The Glory Bound Express

But

I Soon Discovered That I Had Been Laboring 

Under A Bit Of Misinformation!

Fact Is ...

There Ain't No Glory Bound Express ... Ever!

It Was An Uncomfortable Beginning!

The Seats Had Nary A Cushion
And
The Floor Had Gravel For The Repose Of Your Feet!

You Should Have Seen My Shocked Face!

Let's Get This Straight, Up Front ...

Neither Those With High Minds
Illuminated Aspects
Worldly Heels
Nor Unshod Feet
Will Survive The Journey!

You Cannot Be Double-Minded!
You Cannot Have Itching Ears!
You Can't Have Beams In Your Eyes!
But
You Must Go To The Rock ... And Be Broken!

And

That Be-Broken Business 

Causes Many To Get Off The Train
Because
They Much Prefer Walking Right
In Their Own Eyes!

Yesterday ...

I Arrived At Higher Ground!
I Was Truly Pressing On!
New Heights Were Coming Into View!
I Was On
The Upward Way
In The Land Who Knew
That The Lord Himself Drew!

Right Now, Though ...

I Am Famished!
It Was Time For A Repast
And
The Servers Came Rolling Out!

Yeah For Sustenance For The Weary Soul!

The Good News Concession
Blessed Be The Ties That Bind
Was Serving "Love For Sure"
"Truth In The Inward Parts"
"Holy Host Power""Bread Of Life"
And
"God's Love We Deliver!"

Pergamum By The Prince Of Persia
Was Serving Up "Love Yourself!"
"Self Adoration"
"Do What Thou Wilt"
"Me, Myself And I"
And
"About Face!"

For A Moment
- A Fond-Memory Moment -
I Gazed Hungrily At "Self Adoration!"
It Used To Be My Favorite Pie!

I Shook Myself!

Memory Faded!

And
The Moment Passed
And
I Gazed Lovingly At The Good News
And
Emboldened With The Instilled Confidence Of 

Jesus Christ's Faith
I Ordered One Of Everything!

I Knew That I Couldn't Eat It All
In One Go
But
I Was Preparing For A Siege
Which I Had Been Warned
Was Sure To Come!

I Had Been Told That ...

In The Art Of War
Preparation ... Is Key!

In The Realm Of Faith
Obedience And Trust ... Are Key!

In The Land Of The Blessed
All Sins Are Confessed!
Sorrow For Sin Expressed!
And
All Those Who Had Leaned Firmly On The Everlasting Arms

And

Endured All Faithfully
Experience ... In The Fullness Of Time
Eternal Bliss!

I Desire The Bliss!
The Bliss Comes From The Christ!
I Need The Christ
In Whom Is No Demonic Device!

Suddenly ...

I Hear The Cry:

Soul-Searching Ahead! 

Soul-Searching Ahead!

In Unfeigned Humility
I ... Knowing My Need

Bowed My Head
And
I Cried:

Search Me, Oh, God

And Know My Heart Today!

Purge Me With Hyssop And I Shall Be Clean! 

Wash Me And I Shall Be Whiter Than Snow! 

Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence! 

Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God!

Deliver Me From This Body Of Death! 

Be Thou My Vision!

I Will Behold Your Face In Righteousness! 

Lead Me Gently Home, Father!

I Love You! 

Hear My Prayer

And

Guide Me, Oh, Thou Great Jehovah!!

Light Shone!
There Was Sunshine In My Soul!
I Was Praising, Praising, Praising The Lord!
I Was Headed Toward The Great Reward!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!

I Tell You The Truth ...

The Lord Is My Light!
He's My Joy!
He's My Song!
By Day, By Night
He Leads Me Along!

There Is One Thing That 

I Need To Remember Though ...

On The Narrow Road To Surpassing Glory
Damnation
Is 

On Either Side
Flashing Bright Lights
Tawdry Nights

And
Self

Self-Aggrandizement

Self-Satisfaction!

And, So

For My Own Soul's Sake

I Got On The Prayer-Phone
AndI Spoke To The One Who
For Me
Did Atone! 

I Was Comforted
For
I Am Told That
A Child Of The Father
A Sheep Of The Fold
A Lover Of Jesus
Does Not Travel Through Life
Through Tribulation
Alone!

I Gloried In The Cross!
I Hailed The Lord Of Life!
I Blessed The King Eternal
And
I Believe Truly That
Our God Is Able

That
The King Of Kings
The Lord Of Lords
Was Not
Is Not
Cannot Ever Be
A Fable!

I Desired My Seat At The Lord's Welcome Home Table
But, For Now
I Am Satisfied To Be Known Of The Lord
For
The Day Is Fast Approaching When
I Shall Know
Even As I Am Now Known
For
I Shall See My Jesus
Just As He Is
In All His Glory!

I Shall See The King ... Someday ... Soon!

My Journey Is Ongoing!
More About Jesus I Am Knowing!
Almighty God
His Truths Are Bestowing
And
Blessings Abundant
Daily
I Am Knowing!
In Truth, I Am Growing!

A NEW SONG : I Have Learned ...!

I'm Satisfied With My Jesus!
With Him, I'm Going Home!
I Am Satisfied With My Jesus
Who, For My Sins
With His Blood Did Atone!
I Used To Walk As One Wicked
One Weary
One Alone
But, Jesus
My Jesus Called
And Said:

Child,
It Is Time For You To Come On Home!

I Struggled! How I Struggled!
I Got Angry!
I Was Offended By Him And I Cried
But Lovingly He Loved Me

And My Bitter Tears He Dried
And, Now 
As One Redeem-ed
I'm Walking On The King's Highway
And God's Great Grace
Is Keeping Me In Christ's Faith
And I Don't Want It Any Other Way

For The Ways Of Truth
I Have Learned!

REFRAIN:

I'm Now Walking Free
For Jesus Christ Has Rescued Me
And Now I Share The Truth I Learned
That Satan Ever Always Lies
But In The Heart Of God
True Love Abides!
God's Everlasting Love Abides!
God Is Everlasting! 
Love ... Abides!
