Done De War: Flee Youthful Lusts!

 

It Is Easy-Peasy Pumpkin Squeezy To Tell Somebody To "Be Wise!" 

It Is Easy For Us To Be Wise 

When We Ask Our Lord Jesus To Grant Us 

Wisdom, Insight, Strength, And Endurance 

As We Go Through This Journey Called The Earthly Life 

As We Strive To Reach That Heavenly Land Called Eternal Life! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Never Forget That 

There Is Much That We May Receive Of The Lord 

But

Will Not Receive 

Because 

We Do Not Ask 

And

If We Do Ask

It Is With Wrong Motives 

As In Asking With Lust! 

Dear Ones, 

Lust Is A Four-Letter Dirty Word 

Best Kept Out Of The Mind And Mouth Of A Christian! 

Lust "Elevates" The Thing Lusted After 

To The Denigrated State Of Impurity 

And

Willfully Dishonors The Holy God Who Gives Us Grace 

And

Grants Us The Opportunity To Be Raised Up 

To Share In His Eternal Glory! 

Think About It Like Lusting After The Flesh Of Someone 

Just To Put A Notch On A Bed-Head ... No Marriage Covenant! 

Beloved, 

In The Name Of Our  Lord Jesus

I Sincerely Pray For Each One Of Us 

The Choice Blessing Of The Unseared, Rigorously Active

Secularly Much Despised Guilty Conscience 

Which Is For The Sole Use Of The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Saving Truth! 

Consider Yourself A Vehicle

And 

Consider Your Conscience As Maintained By The Holy Spirit 

Your Brakes And Back-Bone And Back-Brace

And

Consider The Holy Spirit Your Perfect Driver 

If

The Lord Jesus Is Your Everlasting Portion! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self 

And 

Don't Make Any Further Use Of 

The Dead Weight That Is Youthful Lust! 

Done De War! 

Peace!

Prayer For Blessings!

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Bless Your Holy Name In The Matchless Name Of 

Your Only Begotten Son

My Savior And King, Jesus Christ The Lord! 

By Your Holy Hand

I Have Blessings Innumerable, Immeasurable, And Infinite

Because

I Can't Count Them

I Can't Measure Them

And

It Is For Certain Sure That 

I Will Never Live Long Enough To See The Verified End Of 

All That You Have In Mind And In Store For Me 

As Long As I Remain True And Faithful And Obedient

Which Is My Heart's Abiding Desire! 

I Beseech You For That One Blessing

Which Will Give Me Strength

To Endure All Things For My Jesus

And

Against That Devil, Satan, Known Damned

And

Assuredly Bound For Hell!

I Give You Praise Because You Are Worthy To Be Praised

And

I Bow In Worship

Because

You Are God Almighty, Wise, Alive, Giving, And Forgiving!

Please Bless Me Also To Accept Your Gentle Corrections

Because

They Are For My Eternal Good! 

Please Help Me Not To Tempt You

By Being Presumptuous And Doing Wrong

And

Using Your Holy Name As Cover! 

Please Help Me To Bend Myself To Your Will

So That The Day Will Never ComeWhere I Will Be Broken

And

Cast Out Of Your Glorious Presence! 

In Faith, I Humble Myself Before You

And

Accept Your Gift Of Grace

Through Which I Will Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home! 

In Jesus' Name, I Pray And Plead:

Please Hold My Hand!

I Love You!

AMEN!

Praying ... In Love

My Heartfelt Prayer For Us All Today Is: 

Heavenly Father, 

Please Continue To Grant Us

Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith

To Help Us To Stand Rooted And Grounded In The Truth! 

Please Grant Us Strength To Walk Away

From Things Which Cannot Spiritually Profit Us

And

From People Who Curse The Name Of The Lord

And

Choose Not To Hear Of Or Know About Him

Or To Walk In His Ways! 

Please Grant Us The Needed Courage 

To Endure The Barbs And Reject The Dishonest Doings Of

Those Who Have Chosen To Walk In Darkness

Despising The Light That Leads To Eternal Life!

Oh, Father, 

Please Supply Us With The Love We Need To Have Hope

Because

We Have Chosen To Hope In The King Of Love

The Shepherd Who Leads Us To Eternal Rest! 

Please Help Us In Our Desire To Do All That You Ask Of Us

As We Willingly Choose To Do

What Is Good And Right And Holy! 

Finally, Dear Father,

Please Provide To Us, Out Of Your Riches In Glory

The Innumerable Blessings Needed

To Continually Pursue The Promise Of

A Place In Your House

In The Paradise Of God

Which Includes Immortality, Incorruptibility

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

And

Water From The River Of The Water Of Life

Which Flows By The Throne Of God! 

Thank You For The Unspeakable Gift! 

In Love, We Ask For All These Things 

And

Bless You

In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Great Name! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Win While You Wait On The Lord!

Be Encouraged! 

Since We Choose, Through Grace

By Faith That Works By Love And Purifies The Soul

To Believe That Our Lord Jesus Is The Strength Of Our Lives 

And

Add To It That We Can Do All Things Through Him

We Must Also Keep In The Forefront Of Our Thoughts That 

All The Things Which We Are Choosing To Do 

Must Meet The Right-Doing Test 

And

The Lord's Will, Way, And Timing Test! 

Beloved, 

We, As The Lord's People 

Walking Against The Grain Of The Fabric Of This Dying Word

Do Not Like Technicolor Four-Letter Words 

Aka Foul Language! 

Surprise! 

Most, If Not All Of Us

Consider "Wait!" To Be One Of Those Curse Words

An Inconvenience

A Boil On The Butt Of Our Promised Pleasure! 

Wait Up, Dear One! 

We Are Not Waiting On Humans! 

We Are Waiting Upon 

The Sovereign Lord Of All Creation

The King Of Love

The Loving Shepherd Of Us Who Are 

His Obedient, Trusting, Faithful Sheep! 

With That Being Said

We Should Make It A Point To Consider 

Waiting Upon Our Maker, God, And King 

To Be A Precious Jewel

A Priceless Pearl! 

Let Us Ever Remember That 

Our Awesome God Gives Power To The Faint

And 

To Us Who Lack Might

He Increases Strength! 

This Is A Win While You Wait On The Lord Prize Fight! 

Please Let  Almighty God Be Your All 

And

No Created Being Can Ever Make You Fail Or Fall! 

Walk With

Wait Upon

And 

Wisely Worship Our Lord Christ 

To Be Wonderfully Welcomed Into The Heavenly Home! 

Peace! 

FAITH: You Have The Power!

Faith 

Is 

The Gift That Can Only Come From The Lord Of Life

Jesus Christ The King Of Glory 

But

The Power To Use The Gift Of Faith 

Is 

In Our Hands ... Alone! 

Beloved, 

Think About This Long And Hard! 

We, As Committed Christians, Desire To Overcome Sin: 

Faith 

Is 

The Victory That Overcomes The Sinful World! 

With This In View

There Is Only One Way Forward: 

Exercise

         Work

               Use Your Personal Gift Of Faith 

In Every And All Aspects Of Your Life! 

We Can't See Faith 

But

We See What Faith Can Accomplish! 

We Can See What Sin Does In The Life Of 

One Bereft Of Faith 

And

We Can See The Sinner Being Set Free By Faith! 

Our Master, Savior, Redeemer

Lord, God, And Forever Friend

Gives To Each Of Us A Measure Of His Faith Every Day 

To Be Used For That Day Alone: 

Use It Or Lose It! 

While We Cannot Carry Forward Or Borrow Faith

We Are Well Able To Build Upon Our Faith: 

Experience Builds Confidence 

Exercise Builds Muscle

And 

Muscles Speak Of Strength! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Use Our Faith 

To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ

To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ! 

Be Strong In The Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JESUS' PEACE IS PERFECT: Live With Hope!

We Are Humans Created In The Image 

And 

Likeness Of Almighty God

And 

We Have Been 
And 
Are Daily Blessed With The Precious Gift Of Faith 

Which Brings With It That Dearest Of Companions
Hope

Which, With Malice, Boldly Kills Fear 
Which Burdens Our Lives With Unbearable Care! 

The Hope Of Faith 
Gives To Every Heart The Capacity To Perform Feats Of Daring! 

It Gives Strength To The Sick And Suffering To Carry On! 

It Makes The Weak Heart Strong To Joyfully Sing In The Storm Of Life! 

It Makes Cloudy Eyesight Sharp! 

It Makes Timid People Brave 

And

It Urges The Child
- Desirous Of Getting Home To The Father's House -

Into The Fountain Filled With Blood In Pursuit Of Forgiveness 

And 

To Get Thoroughly Clean! 

We Cannot Be True Children Of God 
When We Deliberately Choose To Host The Pity Party 

Where The Feast
Is
Bread Of Despair 
Accompanied By A Vintage Bottle Of Whine! 

Beloved, 

From The Hand Of God To Us Hope Springs Eternal! 

Let No One Put Your Hope Out To Pasture 

Because In So Doing

You Shall Surely Be Courting The Spiritual Disaster! 

Strengthen The Weak Knees ...

Let Hope In Jesus Float Your Sinking Boat 

And 

Extinguish All The Fires Of Adversity In Your Life! 

Trust God! 

Be Confident In Christ! 

Rely On The Holy Spirit
And

Live With Hope! 

Jesus' Peace Is Perfect!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Provide For Us, Lord, According To Our Need!

Father, 

I See My Need And I Come To You In Faith

With All Doubts Set Aside

Because I Recognize And Accept That 

There Is Nothing That I Can Humanly Do 

That I Can Do Without Your Holy Hand

Your Gift Of Life, Love 

And

Dear Grace

That Unmerited Favor Which I Daily Receive 

According To Your Loving Kindness! 

I Am Grateful, Lord

For The Knowledge That Clearly Shows Me That 

I Do Not Walk Alone

Through The Changing Scenes Of Life 

And

The Personal Experiences That Prove That 

You Are True To Your Word Holy, Alive

And

That You Are Indeed Faithful

Worthy To Trusted, Honored

Worshipped

Consciously Followed

And

Enduringly Obeyed! 

You Are My Hope

My Only Help

My Sure Salvation

My Peace

My Rest! 

Father, You Are Home To Me

And

It Is With A Loving Heart

Burdened For Our Brethren

Near, Far, Seen, Unseen, Known, Unknown

In The Faith 

And

Coming To Faith That 

I Pray For Your Rich Blessings

To Fall Upon Each Of Us

According To Our Individual Needs

And

Equipping Us For The Journey To Zion

The Journey Home To You That We Are Making!

I Give You Grateful Praise

And

Heartfelt Thanks

For

The Strength For Our Journey

And

The Courage Dearly Needed

For The Way In Which We Must Walk

To Safely Reach Our Heavenly Home! 

Please Increase Our Faith 

And

Help Us To Humbly Draw Nearer To You

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Dear Name That

We Plead! 

Please Have Mercy Upon Us And Come Soon! 

AMEN. 

HAPPY SABBATH + Faith, Experience, Patience, Endurance And Prayer!

 

... She's Got To Have It:

F aith

E xperience

P atience

E ndurance 

P rayer

I Say That She Needs

S trength ... She's Weak

C ourage  ... She's Frightened, And 

O pportunity ... She Needs To Seize The Moment! 

There's No Time Like This Time!
It's All That We Have!

Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Brethren, 

Let's Just Cut To The Chase 

And 

Acknowledge That This Is The To-Life Race

That We're Also Talking About Ourselves

And 

Greatest Of All

We All Need Jesus Christ Now ... Today

Every Moment Of Every Day Aka 24/7!

What's Interesting And Terrifying

Is That

We Already Say That We Know Jesus Christ

But

It Isn't Who We Know!

It's Whether He Knows Us

Because 

If He Doesn't Know Us

He Will Say At Crunch Time ...!

... Depart From Me ...!

... I Never Knew You! 

But ...! 

... Don't Be A Goat: Don't But! 

Words And Flesh Don't Have The Same Weight

Unless You're Almighty God! 

Maisme, You May Want To Explain That Remark

For The Benefit Of The Brethren! 

I'd Be Glad To, Bro. Brande! 

It's Simple, Friends! 

John 1 Explains It All! 

In The Beginning Was The Word

The Word Was God

The Word Became Flesh

And Dwelt Among Us! 

The Word Of God 

Is A Transcript Of God's Character! 

God Cannot Be Separated From His Character! 

Jesus Is God!

Jesus Is The Word!

Father God Gave His Son, Jesus God, To Us! 

Divinity Was Clothed In Humanity! 

Humanity Is Flesh! 

Divinity Is Spirit! 

Word And Flesh Are Mated ... Inextricably Joined

In Time ... And For Eternity! 

The Word Of God Who Is God

And The Flesh Of Jesus Who Is God

Have The Same Weight 

Can't Be Separated

Can't Be Ignored

Can't Be Destroy

Will Stand Forever! 

He, Jesus, Came Down To Our Level

To Take Us Up To His Level! 

We Have To Have Him Personally Know Our Name Intimately

And The Only Way For That To Happen 

Is To Use What We Have Received ... From His Hand 

As Personal Gifts Every Day Of Our Lives! 

F.E.P.E.P
Aka  Faith, Experience, Patience, Endurance And Prayer
And S.C.O. 
Aka Strength, Courage And Opportunity

And Surprise, Surprise ... No Surprise

We Get All Through That Most Excellent 

Most Maligned

Most Underrated

Most Misunderstood

Most Underappreciated Gift Called Faith ... Holy Faith!

All That We Need To Cause Us To Know Jesus God The Lord

He Gifts, Gives, To Us Every Day! 

All We Have To Do For The Lord God To Know Us

Is To Exercise Faith ... And Constantly Pray! 

If I Don't Talk, Converse, Communicate With You

We Are Not Friends!

We Don't Know Each Other! 

We Know Of, About, Each Other! 

Friends ... Whom I Know

Brethren ... Who Know Me

The Same Is True Where Jesus Is Concerned:

I, We, Know About Jesus

Because We Read The Good Book That Speaks Of Jesus! 

We Know Jesus When We Willingly, Avidly, Continually 

Continuously

Constantly

Comradely Communicate Conscientiously With Him

For Care

For Comfort

For Communion ... For The Cause! 

The Cause ... Our Cause Is

To Breach The Veil

To Cross Time

To Enter Eternity 

To Be Forever With Him

Whom We Intimately Know

And Who Intimately Knows Us! 

If We Don't Come Up To Scratch

We Will Not Hear The Grand And Glorious Commendation:

Well Done

Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy

Of

Thy Lord! 

The Day Of Judgment Is Fast Approaching
And We Need To Get Our Spiritual Houses In Order!
May I Continue, Bro. Brande!?!

Please, By My Guest!
What You've Shared So Far Is Very Interesting, Indeed!

Brethren,

Let's Look At Psalm 9 Verses 7 And 8
Which Has Great Bearing For Us 
Who Are Of The End-Time Church
The Laodicean Church!

If I May Interject Here
Laodicea Means "The Judging Of The People!"

Thank You, Kindly, Bro. Brande!

It's A Terrible Thing When You Can't Trust Your Own Attorney 
Nor The Judge Before Whom Your Case Is Set! 
The Outcome, In That Case
Is Your Swift Condemnation And Damnation 
Be It By Fine Or Confinement! 
This Is Not So In The Household Of Faith
In The Realm Of The Forever Blessed! 

Our Attorney, Advocate, Intercessor
Is Jesus Christ The High Priest-King! 

Our Judge, Jury And Executioner 
- If We Refuse His Word
His Advocacy In Our Behalf -
Is Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life
The King Of Love! 

Our Fee To Retain The Services Of The True Advocate
The Servant-King ... Our Attorney Of Record
Is Exercised Faith
All Day, Every Day
For Every Matter Great Or Small
Be It Physical, Spiritual, Mental
Emotional ... Or Just Because! 
We Receive A New Gift Of Faith 
For Each Day That We Are Alive!

Thank God For Grace!

Beloved,

As Long As You Are Humble Under His Mighty Hand
And Enduringly Obedient
And Faithful To Truth
And Willing To Confess And Repent Of 
The Known-Wrong Aka Sin Aka Lawlessness
And Do Not Doubt His Prowess, Power
And Ability To Save And Bless You
You'll Be Good, Blessed, To Go Home With Him: 
You Shall Be Wearing The Gold Crown Of Eternal Life! 
You Shall Be Free, Indeed! 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves: Get Close To And Know Him! 

I Bid Us All His Peace 
As We Run This Race To His Eternal Life!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Have Faith ... In Jesus Christ The King, Our Lord!

Without Faith

It Is Impossible To Please Almighty God! 

Without Faith

We Cannot Be At Peace With God! 
Without The Hearing Of The Word Of God

We Cannot Have Faith! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Holy Word Made Flesh 

And 

He Being The Giver Of Every Good Gift
Gives Unto Each Man, Woman And Child

A Daily Ration Of Faith To Use Each Day 

With No Carrying Forward! 

Faith Is For The Day! 

Strength Is For The Way That

You Are Called Upon To Walk! 

Faith 
Is 
A Wrapped Gift! 

To Know What Is The Content Of 
Our Personal Gift Of Faith 

We Must Dare To Unwrap That Daily Gift ... Daily!

You Know What Faith Is

But You Need To Use Your Faith

To Know What It Is That

Your Exercised Faith In Christ Can Do! 

Brethren,

Great Blessings Await The Trusting

And

We Must Choose To Use Our Faith 

If 

We Are To Gain The Blessings Generously Promised 

And 

Abundantly Provided! 

Faith ... Utilized Faith 

Is 

The Victory Which Overcomes This Sinful World

So Let's Energetically Take Our Faith ... For Today

With Head, Heart, Hand, Body, Mind, And Spirit 

And 

Work It To Death! 

Let Us Cast Caution, Aka Doubt, To The Curb 

And 

Let Us Whole-heartedly Trust ... Have Faith ... In God 

For All Our Needs! 

Beloved, 

I Implore Us All To Remember 
To Pray According To The Will Of God 

As Enumerated In The Holy Word 

And 

To Know That By So Doing
That All Will Be Well! 

Neither God Nor His Word Can Change

So Follow The Word ... Follow Christ Jesus

And 

Walk In Faith

And 

Be At Peace!

The Master Says

To Not Be Anxious

For Anything!

He Who Promises Is Faithful To His Word

And

His Word Makes It Plain That

He Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us! 

Please Walk With Christ Jesus

For He Is Light! 

Let Us Choose To Reject Lying Eyesight! 

Let Us Choose To Exercise Holy Faith Which Cannot Fail

And

Let Us Choose To Live In The Light That 
Blesses The Believing Child Of The Father

And

Illuminates The Way To Everlasting Life! 

Yesterday Is History!

Today Is A Gift

And

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

So Choose Life ... Today!

Remember, Beloved

Jesus Christ Alone Saves! 

Jesus Doesn't Ask Every Person To Manufacture His Own Faith! 

He, Being The Giving God Holy, Faithful And Ever True
Gives Unto Each One Of Us 
A Measure Of His Illimitable Supply

And

He Asks 
And 
He Expects 
His Believing Children

To Step Up To The Trial Of Faith

And

Stand Up

Walk On

And

Rest In

His Unfailing Gift! 

Jesus Christ Is Not A Mortal Man Who Lies! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Eternal One

The Almighty God

The Lord Who Blesses

The Master Who Serves

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Prince Of Peace

Our Hope, Our Help

And

Our Only Salvation! 

He Is Our Relief And Our Release! 

He Is Our Soon-Returning King! 

Believe On Him By Working Your Gift Of Faith

And

Be Forever Blessed!

Someone Is Praying For You!
