HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Walk Faithfully!





I Am Glad

And
I Thank You, Father
For Your Being The Eternal God And Lord
To Whom I Can Come Confessing My Sin
And
Repenting Of My Transgressions

"I Beg Your Pardon, Father!"

And
To Be Able To Hear In My Heart
And
Know Of A Truth
In My Soul

My Child,

You Are Forgiven! 
This, My Way, Is The Way To Life!
Go, And Sin No More!
Walk With Me, And Rest!
Be Obedient, And Be Blessed!


I Am Grateful, Lord

That You Condescend
To Give Me The Assurance Of Salvation
By Permitting Me Personal Choice

And
Free-Will Residence

For A Personal Place
In The Coming Kingdom Of Glory!
Oh, How I Praise Your Name!
Thank You For The Good News Story!

To Do Your Will! 
Bless Me, Lord
In Your Presence To Be Still! 
Bless Me, Lord
Your Holy Spirit My Soul To Fill
So That In The Great Day
I Will Have No Unpaid-For-By-Christ Sin-Bill!


I Love You, Lord!

My Humble Prayer
For I Will
Your Heavenly Home To Share!

And
Walk Boldy Unto You!


Let Your Grace, Lord
Be Sufficient For Us All Today
And
Every Day

For
In Trust
And
In The Name Of The Beloved
The Holy Jesus
I Offer Up This Heartfelt Prayer!

CREATED BEINGS: If Greedy Waits ...!

Satan Is The Liar!
His Hands Are Never Clean!
His Intentions To Man Are Cruelly Vile
AND
His Prized Methods Are Truly Obscene!

Do Not The Part Of a Satan Act
Challenging God For Supremacy
For
You Are A Created Being, My Friend
AND
Without The Creator God Holding Your Dusty Hand
Your Beginning
IS
Your End!

Nothing In This Life
Is As It Appears
So
Do Not Name Your Eyes
Your Traffic Director!
Be Pleased To Take The Living God
As Your Sole Portion
AND
You Will Not Have The Lake Of Fire
For Your Blue Sea
Nor Your Vast Ocean!

If Greedy Waits
Hot Will Cool! 
If Lust Is Cooled
Common Sense Will Rule! 


The Lord Christ Is King
AND
The Giver Of All Good Things
So
Be Pleased To Honor Him
AND
You Will With The Hosts Of Heaven
Before His Throne Of Glory
Glorified
Immortalized
Joyously
Joyfully
Thankfully
Eternally

Sing!

We Have Options!
Bend ... Freely
OR
Break Forcibly!

Either Position Taken
Mankind Will Give God
His Glory!

INTIMATE CONVERSATION: Prayer





Since Prayer Is The Opening Of The Heart To God
As To A Friend
Then
Our Communion With Our Almighty God
Should Be An Intimate Conversation
Special
ONLY TO TWO
Between Two
About The Two
For One Outcome!

Satisfied With The Communion
The Seeking Heart Rests
Content
Pleased
Thankful
For The Soul's Resting Upon
AND
In The God Holy
Where The Forever-Friend
- The Companion - 
Is Heart-True
AND
The Conclusion Is Hallowed
Sanctified
Blessed
Causing The Mortal Heart
To Break Into Singing
A Joyful Song Of Praise
Knowing
That Its Confidante
Does Not Turn Eternity's Wheels
By The Whim Of Chance
Nor By The Frail Constancy Of 
Fretful Desire For Difference
Called Necessary Change!

Our God Is The Constant Companion!
Our God Is The Faithful One True!
Our God Is The Living God Of The Ages
Who Leads Willing Children
Gently Along Life's Ever-Changing Stages!

He Does Not Indulge In Fitful Rages!
We Can Trust Our God Without Fearing
That Failure Is On The Way Waiting
Today
AND
If We Are Likewise Constant
Enduring All
Obedient To The Call
AND
Faithful
We Will Be Victorious
Against The One
Whose Eye On Us
Is Baleful!

My Brother
My Sister
Take Heed Today
AND
Offer Up Your Heart's Secrets
When The Throne Of Grace You Approach
As You Bow Before The Glorious Majesty In Prayer
Knowing Of A Surety
That Your God Holy
For Your Soul 
Does Indeed Care!

Our God Sticks Closer Than A Brother
For He
By Personal Invitation
Into Our Own Heart
Does Lovingly Abide!
In Him IS Our Being
So
From Him
We Can Never Hide!
Confide In Him, Brethren!
Confide!

The Living Holy Eternal God Of Grace
IS
Ever Faithful!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: AVAILABLE: Grace!





The Grace Of God
Is No Paying Off Of Debt
To Me!
It Is A Gift!
I Am The Object
Of God's Favor
Something
For Which I Can Never Labor!

I - Of Myself
Can't Hold Out My Hand
To The Eternal God
AND SAY:

"Give Me!"

Some Of This
A Bit Of That
A Golden Goose
A Pat On The Back
Nor Life Eternal
Nor Exemption From Life's Trials
Nor Relief From Satan's Vicious Attacks!

God's Grace Upon Me
Means
God's Blessings
I Have To See
For
There Cannot Be One
Without The Other
So
Take No Thought
Of How To Get More
For
Walking Right In God's Light
Opens The Heavenly Store!

"You Shall Receive!"That Is The Promise Of God
AND
Not A Sleight Of Hand
As Would Come Of The Hand Of
King Liar More!

Believe And Receive!
Trust
AND
Do Not Try To Conceive
Of Ways
By Which To "Force"
The Hand Of God!

You Are Not Big Enough
Old Enough
Wise Enough
Nor
Strong Enough!
In Essence
You Don't Have The Stuff
Or You Would Be God Yourself
Not Needing Anything
From The God Of Love
Who Rules
Reigns
AND
Resides
In The Heavenly Abode Above!

Have Faith
In The Holy God
Who Grants Unto Man Favor!
Favor From The God Of All Graces
Requires
A Child Of Faith
To Say Grace
Aka Thanks
AND
Be Thankful
Knowing That There Is More
Much More
To Favor Full Grace
The Body Of Which
In This Realm
We Cannot See
Touch
Nor Taste
Except
With Jesus' Faith!

Jesus Christ On Earth
Grew In The Favor Of God!
Did That Mean
That Christ's Growth
Was An Unmerited Gift?!
It Cannot
For Christ Was God Fully
Man Fully
God-Man
Without Sin!
Jesus Was-Is Himself God
So That Would Be Silly!

It Means
The Fulfillment Of The Promise ...
The Spirit Of God
Is Upon Me (Jesus)!

AND
Without Measure
Again
As Word Of God Says!

The Spirit Of God
Is The Spirit Of Grace!
The Spirit Of Grace
Gives Favor
AND
Gifts Unto Men!

In This Realm?

In This Realm!

God Is In Control ...!

... Even Though It Appears
That God's Favor Falls
On The Employees Of The Fraud!?

Men Who Do Not Understand
The Government Of God
Nor Appreciate The Gifts Of Blessing 
To Men Given
Liken Corporeal Prosperity
To Mean
Bad Man Is Good
Even As His Light Shines Darkly
And In His Mouth
Truth Is Cast Into The Street
Rendering Other's Lives
Bitter
Instead Of Sweet
Because He Has
All Of Life's Sweet Treats!

God's Grace Is Not Money!
But It Could Be!
God's Grace Is Not Fame
Nor Is It Shame! 

God's Grace
God's Spirit
Leads To Life
Whilst In The Mortal Strife
Molding
Cleansing
Teaching
Feeding Leading
Correcting Directing
Chastising
Never Dispising
For God's Grace
Is There
Because Jesus Christ Died
To Save
To Redeem
The Children Of The Fall
To Become His Ransomed
His Redeemed Children
- By I-Choose Choice -
No Coercion At All!

But, Why Can't God's Grace
On Us Be About Earthly Prosperity?!

What Is Prosperity?

Money, Food, Shelter
Clothing, Toys ...!

Did Not Jesus Say
That God Provides
Those Things That Are Needful
Both To The Evil And The Good?! 
That He Knows
What We Need
For Daily Living
Is The Thing That Needs To Be Understood!

The Grace Of God
Passes
Human Understanding!
Sufficed To Know
Man Has Access To Daily Grace
AND
I
We 
Should Ask The Lord
For Grace To Grow
AND
Grace His Will To Know!

I Say Grace - Thanks!
For Meals!
I Plead For Grace
AND
Accept Mercy!
I Pray For The Outpouring
AND
For The Indwelling Spirit Of God
So That In Him
I Am Away From
The Camp Of The Fraud!

G od
R eaches/Relieves/Receives
A nd
C arries/Comforts/Cares For
E veryone!

G od

C leans
E veryone Who Asks!

There Is Grace
Because
You Are Man Alive!
There Is Grace For The Believer
Because
He For Heaven Does Strive!
There Is Grace
Because
You To Christ Do Repair!
There Is Grace
Just Because There Is Grace
Just Because God Is God Almighty
Just Because God The Eternal Is Love
AND
The Only God Great
AND
Because He
- Of His Own Will -
Desires
That All Should Come To Repentance
AND
Into His Kingdom
Be Eternally Saved!

The Living God Gave His Son 
To Get Us Grace!
Shouldn't We Be At The Least, Thankful
AND
Thank Him To His Face?!

Man Is A Strange, Strange, Creature!
The God Who Made Him
Gave Him 
The Free Gift Of Life Eternal
Via His Saving Grace
BUT
Before Man Accepts God's Great Grace
Man Looks His Maker
- Boldly -
In His Face
AND
Wants To Know 
Why
How
Who But
If And
Where When
Then
Before He Will Say:

"Thank You, Lord!
Bless You, Father!
I Accept The Gift!
Let Me Shake (Hold)
Your Holy Hand!"

Man Needs To Step Back
And Take Off His Big, Big Head
And Humble Himself
Before The Eternal God!

Men Hate God
BUT
Want God's Rewards
BUT
They Refuse The Good Stuff
- The Spirit Of Grace -
AND, INSTEADTake The Perishable Goods
Exchanging The Blessing
For A 
Bauble
Because
They Do Not Want To Be Disciplined
Nor Led
Nor Fed
At 
In
The School Of The Holy God
Who Did Them
Their Lives Give!

Grace Mercy
Faith Trust
Hope For Salvation
Infinite Love!
Jesus Is The Captain
The Boat
The Sea
The Life Preserver
The Food Source
The Source Of Life
For Me And For Thee!

Got To Go!
Let's Talk Later!
It's Time For School!
My Teacher Is Christ Jesus
AND
He Provides Heavenly Thoughts 
For Sweet Food!

PRAYER: Thank You For Your Sure Ways, Lord!






Thank You, Father
For The Word That Gives
My Heart Peace
My Faith Hope
And
My Love Assurance!

Thank You For The Blessing Of Rest
And
Truth - The Banner Of The Faithful
That Marks The Way Home!

Thank You For Your Sure Ways
That Give My Faith Power
To Ignore Satan And His Minions:
Your Holy Word
What You Have Done For Others
What You Have Promised In Your Word To Personally Do For Me
And
The Panorama That Is Nature For All Mankind To See!
Lord, I Trust You And I Am Trusting In You!

I Thank You For The Love
That Will Not Let Me Go
And
I Beseech You
To Help Me Not To Lose Me Grip Upon You
For You Are Life
My Life
My Way To Life
And
The Reason For My Living
So That I To Holy Heaven May Go!

I Bless You, Lord
From A Heart That's Full
And
Pray That You Will Bless Me Ever Always
With A Faith That Works
Because It Is You That I Love!
Thank You!
In Jesus' Name I Plead And Stand!
Oh, To Arrive In The Peaceful Land!
AMEN.

What Seekest Thou?!




When We Seek
To Be More
Than What God Made Us To Be
We Become Less
Than We Should Be
Because Of
Over-Mastering
Hyper-Critical
Satan-Inspired
Gross Vanity!

Those Made
In The Image Of God
BUT
Tempted
To Be Remade
Under The Knife Of The Fraud
Are Left Destroyed
Not Knowing The Grace Of God
AND
Are Ritually
Gratuitously
Abused By Satan
Who Only Wanted To Defy The Lord
AND
Hurt One
Greatly Beloved Of Almighty God!

Let No Man
Priest Pope
Pastor Prince
President Prime Minister
Prophet, Rich Man Nor King
Nor Those With "-ist" Rankings
Encourage You
To See Your Life
As A Trivial Thing
Important
To Be Re-Designed
Possible
To Be By Man Refined
Only
To End Up On A Trap-Line
Waiting
Despairingly
Wondering
What Is To Become Of The Life
Lost
AND
No Longer Funny
BUT
Perhaps
In Hind Sight
To Be Repined!

Man Is God-Made
Not 
Hand-Carved!
Faith Is God-Given
Not 
Scent On A Neck-Scarf!
Hope Is A Gift
Of Heaven
Not To Be Confused
With Modern Pharisee-Leaven
AND
Is To Cherished
By The People Of God
Who
By Jesus Christ's Sacrificial Death
Are Covenanted
- By Request -
To Be Eternally Forgiven!

Little With Contentment
Is Great Gain!
Little Is Much
When God Is In It
Should By All People Be 
Gloriously Proclaimed!
If God
With Five Barley Loaves
AND
Two Small Fish
Can Make For 5,000 Men
Plus Women
AND
Children
A Filled-To-Satisfaction Dish
We Should Trust God
For His Personal Gift
To One AND To All
AND
Be Truly Satisfied
For The Gift Comes
From The Maker Of The Blue Ball
AND
The Known
Unknown Universe!
Don't You See That Neither
The Planets
Nor 
The Stars
Don't Out Of The Cosmos Fall?!

By God's Grace
I'm Sticking With Jesus Christ!
I'm Keeping What I've Got!
I Am Thankful For The Blessing!
Be It - To You - A Little
It Is
To Me
A Grand Lot!

*********

Look Up 
To
Jesus Christ 
And
Live!!

Real Weapons Of Mass Destruction + Prayer: Lord, Let Me Be Grateful




Whine
Manipulate
AND
Demand
Are The Real Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Used To Move 
Accessible Mama For A Nipple
AND
Laboring Dada For A Trifle
AND
The World For An Owing
BUT
The Users Of Such Weapons
Are Never Willing To Be Thankful For 
The Grace Of God
Over Themselves
AND
Over All The Living People!

This Son Blazingly Rages
AND
That Daughter Ragingly Despairs
For
The Love Of Instant Gratification
Is Causing Contentment
To Be Forcefully Displaced!

Greed For Gain
Makes The Never-Contented Children Of Men 
Drink
The Whine Of Discontent 
Which Is Not Of The Sort  Of Wine To Be Used
For The Stomach's Sake
BUT
Is The Bitter Dripping Of Acid
On What Should Have Been
An Impermeable Core Of Contentment
For
It Is Well Known That
Almighty God Provides
Whether We Are In Families
Or We Walk Lonely And Alone
AND
Have No Place To Call Home!

The Demanding Spirit
- Never Of The Cooperative Sort -
Thinks Itself The Cat's Meow
When It Opens Its Mouth
Uttering
The Attack Dog's Bark!
Fear Of Its Bark
- Ever The Herald Of Its Destructive Bite -
Gets For It Its Never-Need
Its Ever-Want
Because To Argue Against It
- Like Paper Against A Scissors -
Has Not Even Close To A Strong Point!

Manipulation
Is The Mead Of Wickedness
Used
Like A Balm Of Helpfulness
BUT
Covers A Careless
Coreless Conscience 
Made Accessible By
Ever-Lubricated Bat-Wing Doors
AND
Proving
Self Is A Whore!

In Consort
- Just Like Revelation's Triad Of Unclean Spirits Like Frogs -
Whine
Manipulate
AND
Demand
Those Undeniable Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Godless
Conscience-Less
Guiltless
AND
Beguiling
AND
Just Like Their Damned Originator
Pulse
Undulate
Titillate
AND
Obfuscate
To Decimate
Because
My-Want Trumps My-Need
Because
My-Greed Is The Speed
Through Which
Me
My-Self
AND
My-Eyes
Get A Feed!

Little
With Contentment
Provides Great Gain
For A Contented Soul!

A Lot
- With Licorishness For A License -
Never Knows That A Little
AND
Enough
Are More Blessed Than 
A Wasted Lot!

So ...

When Two 
Too Deep 
Pool Eyes 
Fill 
A Liter To A Stretched-Out One Gallon Slow-Belly
Know
Of A Sure Surety
No Matter What King Covetous
Unto Granny Eve Did Say
Death - Though Slow
Is Ever Coming
For
Eyes Always Have
AND 
In All Ways Possible
Will Make The Body
AND
The Belly 
Dearly Pay!


PRAYER:

Dear Lord,
Let Me Be Grateful
For What I Have In My Hand
For There Are Those
Who Have Not
And
Would Greatly Appreciate
Receiving Much Of The Good
That I Wickedly Discard
Into My Trashcan!
Let Not My Stomach
Prepare A Feast For Me
Which
At The Eating
Renders My Soul Captive
Unto Him Who Dearly Hates Me!
Let My Eyes Be Focused
On The Lord Jesus Christ
Knowing That
In The Fullness Of Time
I Will Enjoy A Perpetual Feasting
In The Heavenly Paradise!
Lord, Remember Me
And
Help Me To Always Remember
And
Love
And
Honor
And
Trust
And
Obey You!
Amen.
