HAPPY SABBATH + I AM ... Am I ... A True And Faithful Servant Of Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

How Many Of Us Christians Called

Walking Around Talking About 
"I'm Blessed And Highly Favored
A Beloved Child Of Christ The King!" 
Are Willing To Say ... As The Apostle Jude
"I AM A Servant Of Christ!" 
And 
Mean It!?! 

Many Of Us Talk About Jesus Christ 
As The Suffering Servant Who Serves Us 
But 
Have Not A Care To Realize That 
Christ Didn't And Doesn't Serve Us 
For Us To Serve Ourselves! 

Jesus Christ Was A Servant On A Mission Of Mercy 
And 
He Left An Example For Us To Follow! 

Service Is Not Servitude 

Aka It Not Slavishly Doing

A Low Mean Office! 

Love Serves The One Loved ... Willingly 
And
Without Hope Of Reward 
And
All Of Us Who Name The Name Which Is Above All Names 
Need To Get Our Acts Together
And
Humble Ourselves
And 
Stop Behaving Like Satan 
Who Only Wanted The Power And Position 
But 
Not The Humility And Grace That 
Would Have Helped Him Serve Others 
With The Joy That Jesus Felt On The Cross
And 
Feels As He Sees Us Coming Home To His Side 
As A Direct Result Of His Willing Service
His Servant-Work! 

Beloved, 

Only The Humble Are Lifted Up: 
Chew On This Fact
Swallow The Truth
And 
Choose To Indulge Willing, Heartfelt Service
To The Crown 
To The Majesty Of Glory
To Be Eternally Saved And Blessed!

Servants Follow The Lead Of Their Masters!
Jesus Repaired To Our Father!
Jesus Prayed Constantly To Our Father
And
Jesus Kept Himself In Constant Communion With Our Father!
Talking To Our Father Was The Way Of Life For Our Jesus Christ
And
He Gained The Promised Blessings
And
He Successfully Fulfilled His Earthly Mission
And
Returned To The Bosom Of Our Father In Heaven
As The Conquering King
And
With Trophies To Prove That 
The Victory For Us Is Won!

Beloved,

Are You Truly Following Jesus Christ's Path Home
To Our Father's House In Glory
Where Blessings Are As The Sands Of The Sea
As The Leaves Of Autumn
As The Great Showers Of The Spring
As The Grand Fall Of The Snow Of Winter!?!
Are You Communing With Our Father God
As To An Intimate And Ever-Present Able, Helpful
Forever Savior, Lord, God And Trustworthy Friend!?!
Please Dare To Ask The Questions
And
Dare To Find Answers That 
Satisfy The Heart That Beats For ... Jesus Christ Alone!

Watching ... Unto Prayer!

Anybody Can Watch!
Anybody Can Pray!

But

Not Everybody Will Watch With Purpose
Or
Pray With The Power Provided By Faith!

Are You Just Praying Just For Stuff And Nonsense
Or
Are You Praying For Things That Last!?!
Are You Praying For Things Perishable
Or 
Are You Praying For Things Eternal!?!

Many Are They Of Us In The Household Of Faith 
Who Are Watching For The Lord's Coming 
Just Like They Sit In Front Of The Idiot Box Aka Their TV: 
They Are Asleep Until Someone Turns The TV Off! 

Upon Awakening
They Say: "I'm Watching That Show!" 
And 
Don't Even Know That The "Watched" Show Is Finished! 

Beloved, 

We Are To Be Clothed In Christ's Character
And 
We Are To Watch Unto Prayer
Praying Without Ceasing To Be Cleansed
Strengthened In The Inner Man
And
Rendered Obedient 
And 
Enduringly Faithful
Fit To Sit With The King! 

Jesus Christ 
Was 
The Suffering Servant
Is
The Eternal King
And Is Waiting For Us 
To Make It Possible For Him 
To Serve Us At His Table In His Father's House 
In The Realm Of The Forever Blessed! 

Jesus Served His Disciples On Earth 
By Washing Their Feet
And
Marking Them As His Own: Don't Be A Judas! 

Brethren,

Watch For The Lord 
With The Gift Of Wisdom From On High
Given To Everyone Who Asks In Faith
- Nothing Wavering ... No Doubting -
Knowing That They Will Not Be Upbraided For Asking!

Please Think On And About Jesus Christ
And
Be Humble
And
Get Dressed In His Provided-To-You Attire ... His Righteousness
And
Light And Keep Oil In And For Your Lamp
And 
Listen For The Grand Call 
To Get Up And Go In ... To His Great Glory! 

Remember ...

You Have One Life ... And No Do-Overs 
So Get Ready 
And 
Stay Ready: Salvation Is Free To Me And Thee!
Watch And Prayer Always! 

The Prayer Of Faith

Is

A Watching Conversation:

A Blessing Always Arrives!

TRUST JESUS CHRIST: Follow The Way-Maker!

I Have A Ruler And A Compass!

I Have A Plate, A Fork, A Spoon And A Knife!

I Have A Map 
And 
I Have Been Befriended By The Map-Maker

Who Pledges To Lead And Direct Me Through Life!

I Have Peculiar Problems!

I Am Loved By And Love The Problem-Solver God!

I Have A Raging Enemy Cruel

And

I Have The Holy Defender As My Master And My Lord!

As Long As I Use My Ruler

Who Has Called Me To His Side

My Plate Will Always Have Food 

My Fork Will Dig Out The Worms Of Sin

My Spoon Will Scoop Up The Soup That Is Returned To Me

For Having Cast My Blessed Bread Upon The Waters 

And 
My Knife, My Sword

The Word

Will Separate Me From The Sin That Kills From Within!

My Map 
Is 
Upon Stone Engraved

By The One Who Who Could Not Be Held Captive By The Grave

The Very One Who Is The Map-Maker Supreme

The One Who Says To Me:

Be Thou Clean!

I Have A Charge To Keep

A Way To Walk

A Destination To Arrive At Safely

Because

I Willingly Chose The Right Fork

In The Glory Road

The Strait And Narrow Way

To Commendation Hall

And Not To

Condemnation Falls!

My Ruler 
Is 
My Wise Companion For My Walk Through This Mortal Life
And
My Master To Direct Me 
My Servant To Feed Me As I Serve Him
My King To Crown My Life As I Honor Him

The One Upon Whom I May Safely Call

For All

For Everything! 

I Learnt To Trust My Ruler

- The Mark-Maker ... The Way-Maker -
And

I Am Daily Trusting My Ruler 
In All Facets Of My Life

And

I Am Blessed! 

Think About It ...

Children Are Amazing! 

Watching A Young Child Trusting A Beloved, Caring, Parent 

Makes Your Heart Glad As You Watch Them Ask To Be Lifted Up

To Be Caused To Fly As You Play Airplane

To Be Tossed Higher And Higher

Seemingly Blissfully Unaware That One Wrong Move, One Slip

Could Cause Serious Injury ... Or Worse! 

All That Child Seems To Know Is That Mommy, Daddy

Is 

Flying The Airplane

That With Them In Control All Is Well

That Nothing Can Harm Them In Their Parent's Care

That The Love They See, Feel, Experience And Know 

Is 

Real, True, Present, Accounted For And 

That Nothing Can Steal Their Joy From Them! 

Beloved, 

We, As Christians, Need To Be Converted 

From The Ways Of The World That 
Peddle Doubt, Distrust, Disbelief

And 

Disobedience 

And 

Be As The Little Child 

When We Commit Our Ways, Our Lives, Our Time

To The Lord Jesus Christ 

Because 

We Know That The Sacrificial Love He Has For Us 

Is 

The Love That Will Never Let Us Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 

As A Result Of His Failure To Care, Share, Prepare And Provide! 

Close Your Eyes To Sinning 
And 
Open Your Heart And Hands For Your Blessing: 
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is

Our Ruler

Our King

Our Map-Maker

And

Our Way-Maker

Who Works Unceasingly

For Our Salvation:

Give Him Glory, Honor And Praise!

JESUS CHRIST: King Or Judge

There Is No Blessing In Folly!
There Is No Peace In Rage!
There Is No Hope In Doubt
And
To Read The Whole Holy Book
The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God
You Must Diligently Turn Each Page!

We Have The Blessed Savior ...

There Is Our Father In Heaven
Whose Only Beloved Son Died On The Cruel Cross
To Save And To Bless
To Redeem Mankind
So That The Kingdom Of Light
Should Not Suffer Irreplaceable Loss!

We Have A Raging Enemy ...

There Is The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Fiend Who Fools People Into Believing
That He Has Their Best Interests At Heart
And
That He Is Able Their Lives To Bless
But
I Urge You, Brethren
To See Your Benefactor For Who He Is
The Adversary Of Your Own Soul
The Raging Lion
The Piercing Serpent
Leviathan ... Behemoth
The Liar ... The Murderer
The One Who Desires Worship
He Who Is The Wannabe
And
Every-Lying And Known False god!

A Simple Word Of Caution ...

Do Not Dig A Pit
Set A Trap
Or Prepare A Net To Cause Any Person To Perish 
Just Because You Do Not Like Them
Their Politics, Religion, Sexual Orientation
Color, Financial Status
Access, Reach And Grasp
Because
As The Good Book Says:

Brother, Sister
Close Family
Far-Off, Close Or Familiar Friend
Enemy Of The Truth
Lover Of The Lie
Faithful Servant
Child Of God
Student Of The School Of Jesus
Whatever You Are
Wherever You Be
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves You
Just As He Loves Me!

I Urge You, Beloved
Look Up To Christ Jesus
And
In Faith ... With Endurance
Walk On The Strait, Straight And Narrow Road
If
It Is Your Heart's Desire
To Be At Home With The King
Our Soon-Returning Lord And Holy God!

Times And People Change ...

Enemies Can Become Friends
When Truth Is Embraced
And
Friends Can Become Enemies
When Truth Calls Out Their Double-Life
To Their Very Face!

We, Humans, Have A Choice To Make
Follow The Lord ... And Live
Follow The Liar ... And Contrary Walk!
In Short
Whatever The Decision For Your Life You Make
Walk Your Talk Wholeheartedly
Because
Fence Jockeying Benefits Neither Self
Nor Any Other Body!

The Holy Spirit Is Calling!
The Lord Christ Wants To Save Me And You!

As Jesus Christ
In The Living Word Has Made Plain
And
We All Need To Know:

Be Ye Hot

Or

Be Ye Cold

But

If You Are Lukewarm

Spewed Out Of My Mouth

You Shall Go!

Rich, Proud And Loud
Or Poor, Humble And Meek
Choose You This Day
The Character Of Your Life
And
Follow Him Faithfully
Whom You Belief Will Give You The Best
That Is ... Eternal Life!

Personal, Final, Decisions Must Be Made ...

I Shall By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- Who Us Leads Into All Truth -
Follow The Master, That Suffering Servant
Jesus Christ The Shepherd
The King
The Lord
For Love
And
Not Just For The Promised Reward!

... And You Have The Choice To Make:

Follow Jesus Christ 
And 
Let Him Be Your Welcoming King
Or
Follow Satan 
And 
Let Jesus Christ Be To You, Your Judge!

I Choose Jesus
And
By His Grace
I Shall Not From My Position Budge!
Please Join Me!
