VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fair Exchange!?!

KJV Zechariah 3:4
4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Fair Exchange Is Not Robbery! How, In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Can There Be A Fair Exchange When I Gave You Rocks That Are Diamonds And You Gave Me Rocks That Are, Errrm, Rocks!?! Don't Talk To Me About That! That Is A You-Problem! Ohhh, I See! My Bad! I Forgot, Just For A Moment, That We Were Demonstrating The Jesus And Sinner, Salvation And Sin, Savior And Saint Thing! Oh, Goodie! We Are All Caught Up! Beloved, Have You Ever Considered What It Is That Jesus Christ Has Done And Is Doing For Us When He Says "Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And Are Heavy Laden And I Will Give You Rest!?!" Aren't You Heavy Laden With Sin!?! Isn't Jesus Christ Swapping Out Your Sin And Replacing It With His Rest As In His Perfect Peace!?! Didn't Your Sin Kill Jesus!?! Doesn't His Rest Give You Everlasting Life!?! With That Said, Dear One, Why Would You Not Give All Of Your Sin To Jesus Instead Of Crucifying Him Afresh When You Turn Back To The Flesh-Pots Sitting Down To Eat And Getting Up To Play!?! Do You Not Understand That When Jesus Christ As Savior, Surety, Redeemer, Lord, God, King, And Friend Takes Your Rocks - Which Are Of Life-Extinguishing Weight - And Gives You His Diamonds Of The First Water Aka The Fruit Of His Holy Spirit, That You Are Acquiring All Gain And Thus, Suffering No Loss!?! Beloved, Every Thing That You Give Up For And To Our Lord Jesus Is Replaced By An Imperishable Good And Perfect Gift For Which There Is No Comparison! Come Now! Since Jesus Considers Your Temporal Give-Ups As Fair Exchange For His Eternal Give-To's, Does It Not Become You To Be Wise Unto Salvation For Your Own Self, And Go All In For The Eternal Win!?! Please Don't Be Faithless But Be Faithful, Trusting Him Who Cannot Lie To Give You The New Life Which Cannot Die! Believe The Promise Of The Living Word And Accept What You Cannot Lose But Can Be Thrown Away Through Doubt And Disobedience! Please, In The Name Of The Holy Jesus, Give Up Your Fig Leaves! Peace!

BIRTH ... LiViNg ... DEATH + PRAYER: Father, We Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!

... And So We Have The Question:
What Is It Like In The Grave!?!

The Book Of Job Has A Great Definition
That Totally Answers That Question!

KJV Job 3
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

Before We Continue
Just Remember That We Have An Adversary
Who Does Not Want Us To Believe
The Living Word Of God!

Please Understand This:
Satan Is Not A Man
And 
You Are Not His Equal
But
He Ever Has ... In His Corrupt Mind
The "Can't-Fail" Plan
And
He Lies
And
He Murders 
And
He Spreads Deception 
Like Autumn's Falling Leaves
And
He Desperately Hates You
Whom Jesus Christ The Righteous Lord
Sacrificially Loves!

He Tried Valiantly To Destroy Job!

KJV Job 2
4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.




Okay, Brethren!
Don't Ever Forget This:

Only Jesus Christ The Lord
Stands Between Us And Certain Death
At The Malicious Hands Of Our Adversary!

Satan Desperately Wants Us To Curse God And Die
And 
By Vindictive Choice
Sin And Suffering Are His Tools To Accomplish
His Dastardly Mission! 
By Bold Contrast
Salvation And Healing Are The Domain Of Almighty God! 

Almighty God Lovingly Creates! 
Satan Callously Destroys! 

Many Of Us Blame The Lord For What Satan Does 
And 
Refuse To See That 
Without The Lord's Restraining Hand 
To Limit Satan's Destructive Power
We Would Die! 

Satan Is Liar
Murderer
And
Salvation Thief!


Jesus Christ Is Truth, Light
And
Life ... Abundant Life ... Now
And
Eternal Life ... In The Fullness Of Time
So Let's Stay With Our Hearts Fixed Upon The Lord Jesus 
And 
Be Ever Safe 
No Matter Our Present, Trying, Painful, Circumstance! 

Jesus Christ Always Saves ... And He Loves You
So Trust His Perfect Love 
And Not 
Your Skewed By Carnal-Sight Logic!

Now, On To The Other Matter ...

The State Of The Dead!

A Young Lady Was Visiting Her Newborn
Now-Deceased Son's Grave
And
I Heard The Lady Say That
She Was Glad That She Had Placed Him
Where He Was In The Cemetery
That He Would Not Be Alone
That He Would Have His Grandparents Around Him
That He Would Hear The Trains Passing
And
He Would Have Others To Play With:
My Heart Just Sank Within Me!

Dear God, Please Help Us!

How Much Longer, Father!?!

Good Question ... And We Really Need Help!

How Many Times Are We Going To Have To Have
This Same Conversation!?!
Are We Believers In The Holy God Or Not!?!
Do We Trust The Living Word Of God Or Not!?!
When Are We Going To Set Aside Satan's Fables
And 
Trust What The Lord Of Life Has Said To Us:

The Dead Know Nothing!
Their Loves And Hatreds Die With Them!
They No More Have A Portion Among The Living

And

For Good Measure
Refusing To Humble Ourselves In Our Sorrow
Before The Throne Of Grace
And, Instead
Trusting To Lying Fables To Cope With Heart Pain
Is Not 
Going To Fix Anything!

It Is Just Making Things Inordinately Worse
And
We Are Leaving Ourselves Open
To Satanic Delusion, Deception
And
For Fallen Angels, Demons, Evil Spirits
To Assume The Form Of Those Whom We Had Loved
- Who Are No Longer In The Realm Of The Living -
And
To Come Into Our Presence In Their Guise!
Fallen Angels Have That Unholy Power!

People Better Recognize!

This Is Dangerous, Devilish
And
It Is Placing All Who Do This 
Squarely In Satan's Domain
And
Under His Dominion!

The Dead Are Asleep ... In Their Graves!

Indeed!

Despite Popular Conversation
And
Regularly Trotted-Out, Lying, Sermonizing
They Are Not In Almighty God's Heaven
Nor Are They In Prepared-For-Satan Hell!

The Dead Are At Rest In Their Long Home
In Their Dusty Beds:
The Living God In His Eternal Word
Has Plainly Said That This Is So!

We Have A Future!
We Have A Hope ...

According To The Word
There Is No Sorrow That Heaven
That Is, The King Of Glory
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Creator God
Our Hope, Help And Salvation
Our Great Physician
Cannot Heal!

Brethren,

If You Are Finding Yourselves 
Struggling With The Loss Of A Loved One
The God Of All Grace
Has Personally Invited Us ... You And Me
To Come Boldly To His Throne Of Grace
To Find Help In Our Time Of Need!

When We Choose To Lean On Ourselves
Instead Of Upon The Eternal God Holy
We Become Our Own God
And
We Commit Sin!

Please Do Not Do This: It Doesn't Help
And
It Always Hurts!
In Truth And In Fact 
It Inordinately Hurts
Because
The Lord Of Life Has Plainly Also Said
That He Will Not Share His Glory With Another
So That Leaves You On Your Own:
That's Not A Good Residence 
For A Known Sin-Weakened Human!

If You Are Your Own God
You Cannot Expect To Receive Help From
The True And Living Holy God!

Let Us Humble Ourselves
And
Submit Our Will And Our Way
To The Lord Of Life Who Loves Us
And
Let Us Bid Him ... Humbly
To Do For Us
What None But The Holy God Can Do
And
That Is ... Save Our Souls!
We Need To Bid Him To Be The Lord Of Our Lives!

Brethren,

We Are Already Being Told By Some Very Evil Physicians
That The Dead Live For Hours After They Are Dead!

That's A Dirty Lie!

The Word Of God Does Not Support That View!

We Are Being Set Up For The Grand Deception
That Is Soon To Come To The Whole Earth ...!

... Satan Does What Works!

Man Erroneously Believes That 
Man Can Control Man's Life
And
Wonderfully Prosper ...!

... That Serpent Satan Encourages That Lie!

Man Believes That He Can Manipulate
Forecast ... Direct
The Outcome Of Man's Life ...!

... Satan Deceitfully Encourages That Lie!

Man Believes That He Can Corral Satan
As And When He Likes
Because 
Man Is Man And Breathes
So, Therefore ... He Is
And ...!

... Satan Maliciously Encourages Man In That Lie
With A Cruel Eye On The Prize:
Soul Damnation!

Brethren, Beloved

We Need Our Jesus!
Let's Pray!


PRAYER:

Oh, Father!
We Come In Faith
Nothing Wavering!
This People Desperately Needs Your Help!
Pity Us In Our Deep Distress!
Please Open A Window Of Heaven
And
Shed Some Holy Light
Upon This Dark World Of Sin!
We Cannot Survive, Father, On Our Own!

Send Help, Lord!
We Need You!
Please Help Us To See Our Need Of
Our Only Savior
He Who Is The Balm In Gilead
He Who Made Us
He Who, Alone, Knows How To Succor
How To Heal
How To Help Us
How To Seal Us
Against The Day Of Deception
Against The Day Of Trouble!

Father,
 Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves
Under Your Mighty Hand
So That You May Lift Us Up
According To Your Will
And
In Your Way
So That We May Be Saved
And
Eternally Blessed!

Oh, Lord
Cleanse And Open Our Eyes
So That We May Plainly See
The Precarious Position
That We Are Inhabiting!
Help Us, Please
To Sink Our Inebriating Pride
By Giving It Up To You!

Please Give Unto Us
The Hearts Of Flesh That You Promised
Which Will Cause Us To Hear
And
To Obey
Your Living Word
So That We May, By Endurance
By Exercising Living Faith
Be Eternally Blessed!

Oh, May Your Holy Spirit
Fall Upon Us
And
Lead Us Into All Truth
And
May The Holy Angels Ever Protect Us
And
Influence Us
To Do The Good And The Right!

We Thank You
For Hearing Our Humble Prayer, Father!
Please Answer Us
As Only You Can
For We Ask Your Blessing
In The Only Name
By Which We May Be Saved
The Name Of Jesus Christ The King
Our Savior, Lord
And
Holy God!

We Love You!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

B.C.W.: The Packaged Deal

Eat The Bread!
Make The Connection
And
Witness To The World!
This, Brethren
Is 
Your Employment
When You Choose To Walk With The Lord!

The Bread ...

The Bread Is The Word Of God
Pure, Clean And True!
It Satisfies The Hungering Soul
And
Always Blesses You!
That's Bible Truth!

The Connection ...

The Connection Is Your Communication
Your Prayers To The Lord
Honest, Heartfelt, Willing!
They Take You Up To The Lord Of Life
And
Your Urge To Sin They Are Killing!

The Witness ...

The Witness ... Your Witness To The World
Tells The Good News To Friends And Others!
It Tells Of What The Lord Has Done For You!
It Encourages Them To Take That Holy Hand
So That They Will Be Blessed Also
And
It Also Helps You In Your Walk Of Faith To Grow!

When We Eat Bread Of Life
We Taste And Chew And Savor!
What We Savor, We Swallow!
What We Swallow, We Digest!
What We Digest, We Are Nurtured Thereby

And

Because The Word Speaks Of Confession And Repentance
We Must Do Our Due Diligence
And
Dig Up And Cast Out The Dead Works
And
Fill Up On More Of What Gives Real Life
So That We, Fortified, May Win 
Aka Emerge Victorious
In The Mortal Strife!

When We Pray
We Acknowledge Jesus Christ As Lord And King
Creator, Redeemer, Hope, Help
Savior ... Everything
And
Trusting The Love That Will Not Let Us Go
We Bind Ourselves To Him Who Paid Our Price
And
In So Doing
We Give Short Shrift To Him Of The Demonic Device!

When We Witness To The World
We Cement Our Own Faith
And
We Give Strength To The Word That
The Lord Of Life Took Our Disgrace
And
Blessed Us And Cleaned Us
And
Clothed Us Anew
And
Has Taken Us Into His Dwelling
Where All Enduring Residents 
Are Grace-Filled, Heart-Holy 
Loving, Kind And Ever True!

Full Disclosure
Is The Way Of The Lord ...






Real Christians Will Really Suffer: Expect Suffering!
The Light Afflictions That We Suffer Are Appointed By The Lord 
And 
Are For Our Eternal Good 
And 
For His Glory
And 
Should Be Patiently Borne 
Because
The Lord Glorious
Has Promised To Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us
And
He Has Given Unto Us The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
For Our Personal, Physical, And Spiritual Comfort! 
We Will Grow In Grace
So That We Shall, In Peace, See His Lovely Face!

The Same Cannot Be Said For Those Given Over To Evil 
Who Shall See Themselves In Desolation
Ruined ... Alone
Bereft Of Any Comfort For Their Wayward Souls!
They Shall Never Know 
The Peace That Pervades The Heavenly Home!

Understand And Accept This ...

Afflictions Point Us To The Word 
And 
Keep Us From Straying! 
Trust The Lord ... Wholly!
Take His Holy Hand ... Solely! 
Glory Awaits The Faithful ... Surely! 

In Jesus Christ
Is
Our Perfect Peace!

Working The Plan

Suffering Spiritual Poverty Had A Need!
Sometimes He Knew It!
Sometimes He Did Not
And
Sometimes He Was Bold And Arrogant
And
For His Soul Salvation
Cared Not A Tittle
Not Even A Stingy Lil' Jot!

Growing In Grace
Is 
A Humble, Obedient, True, Working Christian
Daily Cooperating With 
And 
Walking Humbly In The Way Of The Lord Christ
And As Such - Glory Be To Jesus -
Is An Affront To The Rabid, Bold, Sold-Out To Sin Sinners
Who, With Gay Abandon, Imbibe Joyously
On The Teats Of The Demonic Device!

A War Was Brewing!
Battle Lines Were Drawn
And
The Plans Were In Phase Of Execution
And
All About Me
- The Favorite Spawn Of Satan, The Devil
That Gross And Base-Minded, Lying, Murderer -
Was Hugging Absolute Glee In ... Absolute Glee!

These Two Were Looking At Suffering Spiritual Poverty
A Repeat Customer Of Besetting Sin
Whose Favored Menu Item Was ... Is
I Did It Again A Famous, Famous, Real Honest To Badness
Sin-City Garage-Plate
That ... Unwisely, Wantonly, Consumed
Induces Brain Freeze, Food Coma
Rum Fits
Acidosis, Halitosis
Wandering Waywardness
Lust Of The Flesh
Lust Of The Eyes
Pride Of Life
And
Itching Ears
All The While As One Was Broadcasting That
They Were Rich And Increased With Goods
Having No Need Of Anything
When ... In Truth And In Fact
They Were Wretched, Miserable
Blind, Blind, Blind
Poor
And 
Don't You Know It
Emperor's-New-Clothes Naked!

It's All Very Off-Putting! 

Who Can Bear It!?!

 Let's Get Down To Brass Tacks ...

Jesus Christ Paid For It All
For All O' We Aka All Of Us
And 
For Perfect Love
Transferred From The Land Of Delight
To The Realm Of Needing Transformation That 
Ace Of Grace, Fruit Of The Spirit
No Pride Included!

Fruit Of The Spirit
Quiet ... Never Loud, Pushy Or Aggressive
Purveys, Promotes, Promulgates
The Blessing Plan Aka The Plan Of Addition
Which Is So Exceedingly Simple That
It Blows The Carnal Mind!

The Blessing Plan
Aka The Plan Of Addition 
Is 
Divine
And
Is The Cure For All 
- Good For All -
Which Protects All Takers From The Effects Of The Fall!

Let Me Tell You ...

It Would Have Saved King Saul
If
He Had Taken The Obedience Call! 

King Saul Failed, Failed, Abjectly Failed
To Recognize That Disobedience 
Is 
A Rubber Ball
A Helium Balloon
A Lead Balloon
A Stretched Out Rubber Band Making A Terminal Decision
A Snowcone In Hell
A Leisurely, Lie-Surely, Swim In A Whirlpool
A Snake In The Grass
And
A Gluttonous Feast At A Forty-Day Fast!

Did I Hear Someone Say
Send In Balaam's Talking Ass!?!

Yup!

In Times Of War, It's A Needful Thing!

In The Camp Of The Careless
The Prideful
The Profane
The Bane Of Man's Existence
Satan, The Devil, Heart Cold
Was Pressing Black Diamonds Out Of 
Practiced "White" Lies Told
And
Was As Pleased As Punch
Preparing For His Lunch Of 
Those On The Libidinous, Licentious
Lawless, Loose, Liberal
No Fundamentals
Can't-Lose Sure-To-Fail
Flailing Fist In The Face Of The Creator
Godless Glory-Hound
Hell-Bound But Don't Believe It Plan!

Dear Lord, Have Mercy And Grant Us Grace!

Satan, For A Very Brief, Short, Miniscule, Moment
Happily Remembered
Piercing Jesus Christ's Hands And Feet With Those Iron Nails!
He Wished He Could Turn Back ... Time.

Satan, Angry, Raging, Menacing
Knows His Time Is Short
So He Doesn't Waste It
On Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda!
He Didn't!

He Is Damned
And
His Diabolical Plan
On The Self-Serve, A' La Carte
Dice Your Slice Of Sure Damnation
There Ain't No Second Chances
Reel' Em In Plan!

He Dearly Loves His Jesus Saves Saved-In-Sin Unholy Plan!

Satan Is The Artist
The Prince Of Sin
The Singer Who Writes The Songs That 
Unwary Humans ... Greedy For Gain
Love To Publicly
 Sing:

They Sing For Him
But
Never A Hymn To Him Who Causes Them To Move
To Breathe
To Have Any Being!

Shame Bush For No Shame-Face ...

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not A Pleasing Fashion Statement 
On The Strait And Narrow Way!

For The Record ...

The Devil's Army Drew First Blood!
They Sprayed Growing In Grace With
Gems Of Truth ...!

... You'd Better Stop!

Devils Never Tell The Truth!

I Beg To Differ!

But, Why!?!

Are You A Sinner!?!

Of Course, We Are All Sinners!

Isn't Satan The Accuser!?!

All Day, Every Day!

Does He Tell Lies When He Accuses You
Of The Acts Of Sin That You Know That 
You Committed!?!

Oh, Dear! No!

Well, They Threw Gems Of Historical Truth!
They Threw Imprecations!
They Were Vile And Nasty
But
Growing In Grace Stood On The Rock Of His Salvation
And
He Handed Them Gems Of Living Truth
Unphased By Their Gems Of His Past Life
Of Sins Confessed, Repented Of
And
Forgiven! 

His Gems Are Good For Today, Tomorrow
And Forever!

Angels Were Watching Over Him
And
The Enemy Beat A Hasty Retreat!

At The End Of It All
Faith For The Day Embraced Him
Courage For The Way Wiped His Eyes
Gift Of The Lord Gave Him Pure Water
And
His Sleep That Night Was Peace And Rest!

As For The One Called Suffering Spiritual Poverty
He Had Seen It All
And
Finally Edified
He Understood What He Had To Do
To Gain The Victory ... His Victory
Over His Pet-Rock Sins!

Oh, Man!
Pet-Rock Sins Are The Worst! 
You Know They're Useless
You Put Them Away
But They're Always In Your Face ...!

Putting Them Away In Your Own Strength 
Won't, Can't, Work!
We've Got To Give Them Up To Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Start Working The Plan Of Addition!

We Must  ... By Diligence
Add To Our Blessed Gift Of Daily Faith, Virtue
  Then Add Knowledge 
   Then Add Temperance
    Then Add Patience
     Then Add Godliness
      Then Add Brotherly Kindness
And
       Then Add Charity!

Let's Not Forget The Rest Of The Text!

Let's Take It From The Top!

Indeed!
Remember, Brethren
The Plan Of Addition Can't, Won't Ever, Fail!

God: Fallen Man Or LIVING GOD!?! + PRAYER: Father, I Accept The Precious Gift ...!

If The Holy God
Were Wholly Man
He Would Exact Trifles And Trinkets
From The Puny Human
But
The Living God
Is
The Eternal God Of All Grace
And
Has A Special Place For All Who Choose
To Be Holy, Faithful And True
By Setting Aside
That Which Brings
A Life Of Real Disgrace!

The Living God Feels Sorrow
For Those Who Choose 

To Walk In Their Own Way
- That's Me And For You -
AndHe Does All In His Power
To Lead Us Into His Light
Save
Make The Decision For Us! 


We Must The Self Fight
Battling Courageously With Will And Choice
If 

We Are To Emerge
From Sin's Raging Night!

Think About It ...

When The Gospel ... Of Truth
Is 
Set Aside
Religions, Religiosity And Religionists
Proliferate
AndAll Who Do Not Know Their Creator God
Find Themselves Eating Off Any 

And
Every Plate!

The Question Is Asked
And
The Answer Must Be Given:

Who Satiates Your Soul?!

Is It The Man Who Role-Plays God
Or
The God-Man
- Fully God, Fully Man -
Who ... For Our Souls' Salvation
Did ... On Trial
Uncomplainingly
Uncompromisingly
Unapologetically
Stand?!

Is Your God At
Or
In
Your Right Hand?! 




Is Your God, Fallen Man
Or
Is Your God
The Almighty God
The One God
True And Faithful 
And
Known To Be At Home
On Heaven's Table Land
Preparing A Place For You
Where
Only The Redeemed Of The Omnipotent God
- Unspotted With Sin -
Shall ... Glorified
Stand!?!


Will Your God
- In The Hour Of Your Trial -
Plead For You!?!

PRAYER:

Blessed Lord,
Shepherd Of The Sheep
Master Of The Wind
And
The Waves
And
Provider Of All Good Things
I Worship You!
Please Free Me
From
Being A To-Sin Slave!
I Give You My Will!
Please Make My Way Clear!

Father,
You Are Ever Faithful
And
Your Every Word Is Truth
And
I Bow Before You ... Believing
Trusting You
Obeying You
Worshipping You
Following You
Guide Me Safely Home
For
I Accept The Gift Given
Which
By Your Suffering
Did
For My Personal Sin
Atone!

I Honor You, Lord
And
I Accept The Extended Hand
For
It Is My Soul's Sole Desire
In Your Holy Truth
Always And Forever
Rooted And Grounded
Faithfully
Hopefully
Willingly
Unswervingly
To Stand!

You Are My Rock
My Righteousness
And
My Reward!
You Are My God
And
I Give You All The Praise!
Please Accept My Offering
For
I Give It, Humbly
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
AMEN.
