VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Remember Gideon's Army!

KJV Judges 7:17
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
The Composition OfJudge Gideon's Army Should Be 
A Warning And Clue
A Hope And A Help To Us Collectively And Individually 
On This Our Pilgrim Journey! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
The Trumpet Sounding A Call To Arms 
Blew A Distinctive Sound Saying:

"Enemies About And Abound!
Help Needed! 
Come Now!" 

Thirty-Two Thousand Willing And Able Souls Answered The Call 
And 
Were Provisioned For Battle! 

The Almighty Sent Word Commanding:

"If You Are Afraid, Go Home!" 

Twenty-Two Thousand Frightened Souls Laid Down Their Arms 
And 
Went Home! 

Was It To Their Home-Home 
Or To Their Long-Home Until The Resurrection!?! 

Many Able Christians Ask The Lord To Let Them Rest In The Grave 
Because 
They Are Fearful Of Giving In To The Flesh During The Time Of Trouble 
And, Thereby
Disappointing The Lord! 

Ten Thousand Willing Souls Were Left To Face 
The Marauding Horde Of The Enemy! 

The Almighty Then Proceeded To Test These Souls 
To Draw Out An Elite Force 
To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 

Of The 10,000 Souls Thought Ready For Earthly Battle
Only 300 Souls Were Found Fit To Fight The Good Fight 
After Drinking At The Water ... Of Truth! 

Nine Thousand, Seven Hundred Souls Were Sent Home 
For Being Unwary
And 
For Being Careless 
In Their Preparation For Scorched-Earth War! 
Being Unwary And Careless Kills! 

Consider That ... 

There Was Going To Be Life After The War 
So Was It A Case Where The Almighty Was Sending Them Home-Home 
With The Full Knowledge Of Why They Were Sent Home 
So That They Would Have The Opportunity To Repent, Regroup
And 
Be Re-Educated By The Holy Spirit 
On And In The Living Word!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Those 300 Vigilant, Watchful, Souls 
Were Issued Lights ... Which Were Covered With Clay Jars
And 
Trumpets! 
(Are We Not Vessels Of Clay Holding Treasure?) 

At The Appointed Hour
In Their Three  Ranks
And 
Silently Waiting In Their Assigned Places
They Followed The Good Word Of Their Leader 
To Do As He Did While Uttering What He Had Said: 

"For The Lord And For Gideon!" 

In Obedience 
And 
Energized By The Word
They Broke Their Clay Jars
Held Aloft Their Bright Lights
And 
Energetically Uttered The God-Breathed Word 
And 
Utterly Routed The Enemy Of Souls! 

Brethren, 

Gideon Is A Type Of Christ! 

Those 22,000 Souls Who Had Been Afraid Of The Battle 
And 
Were At Home-Home
Would Ultimately See That They Were Unnecessarily Afraid 
Because 
The Battle Was A Spiritual Battle 
Fought By The Lord Himself 
Using Men Using The Brightly Shining Light Of Life 
And 
The Unmistakable, Unforgettable Word Of Truth! 

Preparation Is Only Good 
If 
We Believe In What We Are Doing 
And 
Trust Him Who Is Our Leader! 

I Pray That The Light Of Life Of The Lord Is Hidden In You
- The Jar Of Clay - 
Until The Day Appointed For Its Revealing! 

You, Me, We Have A Job Of Work To Do! 
Let's Keep Our Eyes On Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Join Satan's Circus!













Your Father Is The King Of Glory! 
You Are Away, On His Footstool, To Attend School! 
Your Teacher At The School Of Hard Knocks Academy 
Gives You A Supply List 
Which Requires You To Bring Extras! 

Your Father The King, The God Alone Who Is Wise
Gives You Custom-Made Everything 
Which Has Your Name 
And 
The Deep Impress Of His Character On Your Supplies 
For Your Use! 

Your "Teacher" At Hard-Knocks Assured Academy, MeSa Tan
Writes A Nasty-Gram 
After Having Dragged You Over The Coals For Being Selfish 
And 
Wanting Everything To Be About You! 

Your Good Stuff Would Have Gone Into A Pool 
To Be "Redistributed" To Other Class-Members 
Guaranteeing That You Would Never Get
What Your Father Provided For Your Personal Use! 

You Would Then Have To Be "Satisfied" With Cheap Knock-Offs 
And 
"Officially Sanctioned" Dupes 
Which Would Never Stand Up During The Testing Time 
Or The Final Examination! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 
Never, Ever, Permit The Gifts That Your Father Has Given To You 
To Leave Your Hands To Gain The Approval Of 
"The Everybody Gets A Participation Trophy 
For Being Present Even When They Choose To Do Wrong 
By Refusing To Do Right 
Because 
No One Should Feel Bad About Feeling Bad For Doing Badly Confederacy!" 

Dear Ones, 

Keep What Your Father Gave You 
No Matter The Pressure Applied 
And
Choose To Tell Others 
How To Get Adopted By Your Father 
To Get Their Own Supply Of What You've Got! 

Don't Join Satan's Circus 
And 
Don't Be Satan's Clown! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Hope Brings Us Joy And Peace!









A Person Without Hope 
Is 
Like A Boat That Won't-Can't Float: 
Both Are Going Down! 

Beloved, 

Look At The Shooting Star! 

Where Is It Going!?! 

Is It Able To Go Back To The Once Appointed Place 
And 
Continue On Its Formerly Appointed Track!?! 
No! 

Can Water Hope To Fall ... Up!?! 
Uhhh, Nope! 

If We Choose To Take Up Our Appointment With The Lord Of Life
We Have Every Reason To Get Up And Git 
Aka Go About Our Master's Business Knowing That 
He Has Already Handled Ours! 

Dear Ones, 

When Our Lives Are In The Master's Hands
We Have ... We Know ... We Do ... We Are ... We Grow 
And
It Shows This Rude, Wild, And Wicked World 
What The Lord Jesus Christ ... The Author Of Hope
Does In The Life Of One Who Calls Him, Creator, Lord, God
King, Redeemer, Friend
Hope
Help 
And
Sure Salvation! 

Jesus Christ Cannot Save What Is Destroyed: 
What Is Destroyed Needs No Savior! 


Remember The Great Flood In Noah's Time!
Remember Sodom And Gomorrah!


Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

People Will Be Destroyed For Lack Of Knowledge! 

We, As Faithful Christians, Know The Word 
So Let Us Live The Life Of The One Who Calls Us 
To Hope In Him! 

Never, Ever, Forget That 
Hope Brings Us Joy And Peace! 
Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
Is 
Peace ... Our Perfect Peace!

Peace!



Hope In God And
     Obey The Word And
 Pray For Faith To
                    Endure The Testing Time!

HAPPY SABBATH + Faith Must Work!










Are You Faithful Faithful!?! 

Is The Practicing Of Your Faithfulness 
The Direct Fruit Of Your Profession Of Your Faith In Jesus!?!
 
Are You Doing Right In The Light 
But Are Dirty In The Dark Night!?! 

Would You ... Could You ... Honestly Say That 
If You Joined The Underground Staff Tomorrow 
The Next Sound You Would Hear From The Lord Is: 
"Come Forth And Come Up Hither!?!"

Beloved, 

Faith Without Corresponding Works ... Actions
Is 
A Dead Faith! 
Faith Must Act! 

A Cheapened Faith Requires Nothing Of Its Owner 
Save The Payment Of Useless Words That 
Cannot Hold Up Under The Strain Of 
The Test Which We Must All Meet 
And 
Pass 
If 
We Are To Enter The Heavenly Promised Land! 

We Must Acquire Holy Characters 
Like That Of Our Dear Savior 
Who ... In The Midst Of His Stormy Time Of Testing 
Stood Firmly On The 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Let Us, Therefore, Remember Always That 
The Lord Is Faithful
The Gifts Given Are Good And Perfect 
And
The Promises Given Are Sure And Secure! 

Be Faithful, Not Fearful! 
Be Trusting And Truthful! 
Do Love And Walk Right 
And
Ever Remember That 
You Are A Child Of The Day And Not Of The Night! 

The Lord Equips His Called:  
Obey The Will
And
Humbly Answer The Call
And 
Do Not With Your Purchased And Sure Salvation 
Unwisely, Unwisely, Play! 
Let Your Faith Work As Faith Must! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Wherever The Good Lord Sends You
Rest Assured That He, Himself, Is With You!
Walk In Faith
And
Work With Endurance
As You Abide In Eternal Truth!


Peace With Prince Shiloh
Is
The Heavenly-Paradise Special!

Wait On The Lord Christ!



Image result for Psalm 27:14 kjv


Waiting 
Is Not
Something At Which Impatient
Known-Selfish Humans Excel! 

The Heart Wants What It Wants When It Wants It 
But
Waiting On The Lord 
Is 
A Necessity In The Christian Economy 
If 
We Will See Jesus Christ ... In Perfect Peace! 

Waiting On The Lord
Is Not 
Laziness
Nor Does It Mean Doing Nothing! 
Waiting 
Is 
Our Time Of Preparation! 


When You Wait Upon The Lord
He Inclines His Heart To You
Calls You To Himself
And Hears Your Cry:
He Provides For You
According To His Will
And
Always For Your Blessing!

Waiting Requires Patience 
And 
We Must Permit Patience To Do Her Perfect Work 
So That We Will Lack Nothing 
In The Great Day Of Small Things! 


They That Wait Upon The Lord
Will Renew Their Strength!

A Man Can't Past A Test Without Waiting
As In Study, Practice, Rinse And Repeat! 

I Tried To Pass A Test Without Studying! 
Let's Just Say It Did Not Go Well! 

We Must Follow The Lord's Instructions, People! 
What Is Happening ... What Is Ahead For Us
Is Not 
For Some Earthly Prize Or Passing Grade! 
We Are In The Battle Of The Ages
- Between Good And Evil
Light And Darkness
And Truth And Error -
With The Coveted Prize Being The Real Crown ... Of Glory
And
No Willfully-Disobedient, Rough-Edged
Own-Way, Stony-Hearted, Presumptuous, Sinner
Will Ever Gain One! 


Victory Over Sin And Self
Comes Through Willing Obedience
To The Way Of The Eternal God!

You Got That Right! 

Precious Stones ... In The Rough
Are Not Beautiful Beautiful 
Until 
They Are Cut, Shaped, Refined, Smoothed, Polished 
And 
Set In Position 
According To The Stated Purpose! 

Precious Stones Are Tested
For Perfection! 

You, Personally
Are Marked To Be A Jewel In The Savior's Crown! 
Accept Your Day Of Waiting In The King's Workshop 
And 
Know That Your Day For Unveiling Will Be Grand And Glorious! 
Watch, Work
And 
Wisely Wait Upon Our Lord Christ!
His Actions Cannot Fail
Nor Should They Frighten Us!


Jesus Christ Loves You
With An Everlasting Love! 

Waiting On The Lord Is Not Wasting Time! 
He Knows When To Show Up And Show Off! 

Our Waiting Time 
Is 
Preparation Time 
And 
The On-Time God 
Is 
Going To Give The Performance Of The Ages That 
Will Never Be Repeated
And
I Intend ... By His Great Grace
And 
Loving Mercy For Me
- Tried, Purified And With The Character Change In Place 
That Is The Requirement For The To-Heaven Rising Up -
To Be Among The Faithful Few! 

To God Be Glory For The Things He Has Done
Is Doing And Will Do 
For Us Who Are Willing To Be Remade In His Image! 

Brethren, 

Being In The Refiner's Fire
On The Grinding Stones
Or In A Crucible
Is
A Pleasant Experience! 

It Ain't Pleasant But It's Necessary! 

With The Necessity Of The Experience Always In Mind
Please Keep Your Faith Forward
And
Work Your Faith For All It's Worth
And 
I'm Certain That We'll Definitely Meet 
In The Beautiful City Of Living Light
On The Appointed Day!! 


The King Is Coming!
Get Washed
And Get Ready!

From Your Lips To The Blessing God's Listening Ears 
And Ever-Compassionate Heart! 

Beloved,

Please Remember What Sister Lynn Said:
Patience Rewards The Patient!
I Pray The Lord's Peace And Protection Be Upon Us All!
AMEN!

The Praying, Petitioning Jesus!

Jesus Prayed!
Jesus Prayed for Me
AND
With His Pray
He Was Nailed By My Sin
AND
Deemed Accursed -
He Was Hung
Suspended
Between Earth and Sky
To Save Me
And All Believers
Who Will Bow At The Name
Of Jesus Christ
Immanuel
Lord of All Seen
AND  
Unseen Domains!

In and Of Myself - Unworthy -
I Had Me No Right
To Approach 
The Throne of The Father
Requesting Assistance
My Battles To Fight
BUT
Jesus - Holy Jesus -
Said:

"Father, This Child I Do Claim
And All Of Like Posture
Who Shall Pray To You
In My Name!"

I Hung On Their Cross!
I Took On Their Sin!
I Was Their Payment
Breaking Satan's Every Chain
Which License Only Leads Them
To Destruction Once
Yeah, Twice
BUT
Father, You Accepted
The Willing Sacrifice!

My Offering Was
The Just
For
The Unjust!
I Claim Them! - We Love Them!
We Call Them Our Own
AND
In The Day of Your Appointing, Father
We Are Bringing Them
To Our Home
Where Blessings Are Eternal
Where Rest Is Eternal - Sweet
Where Peace Is Eternal
Where Wings Are As Feet
Where Water Is Living
Where Our Light Is As Air
Where Nevermore Again
Our Beloved Children
Will Know
The Ravages of Sin
AND
It's Attendant Fear!

So, Father
Blessed Father
Grant This Child
Your Peace
AND
Godly Fear
To Live Holy
Ever Looking Up
Toward The East
With Great Anticipation
Of The Day That Will Dawn!
The Day When The Chosen
The Believers
Will Arise - New!
Immortal!
At The Last Trumpet - Reborn!

Bless Them
AND
Keep Them
Until That Great Day!
Father, Our Children
Are Home Bound
AND
There Is Much Hope
In Their Rejoicing
For We Keep Their Hearts
Until The Day Dawns
Singing,  Rejoicing
Saying:

"Going Home!
Happy Day!
My Sins Are Washed Away and
I Don't For Them 
Have To Personally Pay!
"Going Home!
Oh, Happy Day!"

Jesus Christ Has Paved My Way!
I Live In Him
AND
God's Grace Leads The Way!
The Lord's Holy Spirit
Grants Me Peace and Sweet Rest
AND
I Shall Stand Firm
AND
I Will Pass The Test!"
