VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Stop Calling The Living God A Liar!

 

We Need To Stop Calling The Living God A Liar: 

He Is Not A Man! 

One Of The Most Unscriptural  Things That I Came Across Recently 

Was In A Public Prayer 

Where The Person Asked The Lord 

To Forgive Their Confessed 

And 

Unconfessed Sins 

And

Then Made Much Of Having Received Their "Destiny Helper" 

In Their Year Of Grief For A Lost Spouse! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise 

And 

Choose To Walk In The Truth Of Almighty God! 

Unconfessed Sin 

Is 

Sin Unforgiven! 

Forgiveness And Cleansing 

Ride The Steed Called Confessed Sin!  

Mysticism Aka The Destiny Helper 

Has No Place In Jesus Christ's Christianity! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

Our Helper! 

The Holy Spirit 

Is 

Our Comforter 

And 

He, As Promised, Will Lead Us Into All Truth! 

By Their Good Influence And Protecting Care

Holy Angels Help Us 

- Who Choose To Accept The Lord's Free Gift Of Salvation -

To Safely Get Home To Our Father's House! 

Dear Ones, 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Means And Makes The Difference Between Life And Death! 

Let's Not Add To Or Subtract From The Word Of God 

And

Let's Stop Making Simple Things Complex And Convoluted 

To Enrich Wicked Men And Seducers 

Who Want Our Money 

For Their Lying Clanging Bells And Tinkling Cymbals! 

Please Let Your Conversation Be In Heaven 

So That You Don't Fall For Lies On Earth! 

Almighty God Is All! 

Peace! 

Forgive Us, Lord

As We Confess And Repent

And

Help Us, I Beseech You

From Walking In The Truth

Never To Relent!

QUIET TIME: Be Still!

Are You Afraid Of The Sound Of Silence!?!

Are You Loathe To Sit Quietly 

And

 Open The Doors In Your Mind 

And 

Just Hand To The Lord Christ 

All The Accumulated Rubbish Of 

A Misspent Youth

A Careless Young Adulthood

And 

The Cracked Plates Of 

A Life Filled With Regrets And Recriminations!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Who Calls Us To Be Still 

And 

Know Him ... Personally

Sends To Us The Still Small Voice Of God

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

To Teach Us And To Comfort Us

And 

To Correct Us 

But

That Sweet Voice 

Is 

Only Heard When 

All The Other Voices Clamoring For Our Attention 

Are ... Stilled! 

As Committed Christians

We Must Make 

And 

Take Time 

To Be Still In The Presence Of The Lord! 

When We Are Flustered, Anxious, Fearful

And 

Fuming At This, That, And The Other

We Cannot Experience The Peace Of God 

Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Take Out All The Rubbish Of Unconfessed Sin

The Load Of Care

The Lists Of Unfulfilled Dreams And Aspirations 

And 

Take Them To Our Savior Dear 

And

Leave Them With Him 

Who Paid With His Blood For Our Peace!

Take A Deep, Deep Breath

And 

Reach For The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing 

And

Permit The Lord To Lead You To Green Pastures 

Beside ... The Still Waters 

And 

Choosing To Sit At Jesus' Feet

Allow Him To Restore Your Soul! 

Being Still Is Not Being Lazy! 

Being Still With The Lord Of Life 

Is 

Refreshing! 

Actively Choose Spend Time ... Quiet Time

With The Lord Who Speaks Peace 

And Is

Our Peace! 

Be At Peace With And In Almighty God: 

Blessings Abundant Await You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Forgiven Sin Is Eternally Forgotten!

 

True Happiness 

Is

Personally Knowing

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

The Hope Of Every Man!

The Devil ... The Satan

The Accuser Of Jesus Christ's Brethren

Is 

The God-Rejecting Liar 

Who Wants Those Of Us Who Live With Hope 

In The Finished Work Of Christ On Calvary 

To Foolishly Believe That Our Faithful, Loving
Blessing, Giving, Forgiving, Holy God 

Is 

A Deceitful, Unholy, Murderous Wretch Just As Satan, Himself

Is 

Known To Be! 

Beloved, 

When You Confess 

And 

Repent Of Known Sin - Which You Must - 

Trust Entirely That Almighty God 
Fully Accepted His Only Begotten, Beloved, Son's Sacrifice 

And 

Willingly Gave Unto Him A Binding Receipt Which Says: 

"For The Sin Debt:

SACRIFICE ACCEPTED! 

BILL PAID IN FULL!" 

Our God ... Our Father In Heaven

Is

Faithful, Just 

And 

Righteous 

And 

What He Says He Means! 

We Confess And Repent Of Sin: 

God Almighty ... By The Promise Made 
And

The Promise Kept

Forgives Us

And

Cleanses Us Of All Unrighteousness! 

I Beseech Us All Not To Call The Living God A Liar 

By Doubting His Word ... His Character

And 

Waiting To Feel Forgiven 
For Confessing The Sin For Which You've Been Forgiven 

Because 

Satan And His Damnable Corps Of Fallen Angels 

Are Whirlingly, Wildly, Whispering Falsehoods

As They Work To Destroy 
The Holy Faith Given To Each One Of Us Each Day! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

What Almighty God Forgives 

Is 

Eternally Forgotten! 

Believe It To Receive It

And

Be Bountifully Blessed!

Unconfessed Sin

Is

Sin Unforgiven!!

CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH: There Is More To Fear From Within!?!

Spirit Of The Living God

Fall Afresh On All The Brethren:

We Need Thee!

A Rotten Egg Is Dangerous ... Twice!
It Looks Good

Gives The Impression Of Being Beneficial
But
Once Broken
Smells Egregiously Bad

And

Taints All Touchers

Be They The Good, The Ugly Or The Bad!

Fashionably Playing With Sin ...

Don't Join The Fad
Thinking That With Its Possession
Your Domain Will Be Happy, Comfy And Glad! 

Do Not Take A Dab! 

With Known Sin Do Not Dabble!

Do Not Join The Gainsaying Rabble!
Bad Is Bad!

Guard Your Heart ...

To Believe Satan's Words

Is 

To Believe In Fables!

To Give Salvation

Only The Living God, Through Jesus, Is Able!

Brethren,

I Sincerely Believe That We Know Of A Surety That
The Kingdom Of God
Via His People On Earth
Is 

Seriously Under Attack!

It Wouldn't Be So Bad
If The Attack Was External
But
Truth Be Told
The Attack On Almighty God's Kingdom
Is
Internal!

Biblical History

And World History Speaks ...

Haven't We Learned Anything From King Herod!?!

Achan!?!

Balaam!?!

Judas Iscariot!?! 

Ananias And Sapphira!?!

We Have More To Fear From Inside
Than What Is Outside!

Enter: The Dragon's Egg

Creeping Compromise!

Creeping Compromise Does Not Roar!
He Speaks ... Softly
To Me
To Thee
To Everybody!

Creeping Compromise Offers ... The Cure
For All The Saints Who Want To Be Friends 

To All The Faiths Of The Church World!

Friends With The Wilding, Whirling, World
Friends With The Churl
Who To The Depths Of Hell
Would Our Hearts And Persons Hurl!

Creeping Compromise Is Sold As Food!
He Is Shelter!
He Is Common-Good Glue

And
A Party Canape

And
He Is A Hot Toddy
Alcohol Infused
Sure To Comfort And Confuse
The Unwary Body!

Creeping Compromise Is Even Billed As

A Feel-Good, Good-For-You Hobby!

Creeping Compromise Does Not Offend ... Man!
He Offends The Creator!
He Does Not Offend The Liar!
To The Truth He Is A Bold Traitor

And

He Cannot Be Walked Upon
Rested Upon
Relied Upon
Because
He Has No Power

And

He Will Be Burned, Consumed

With All Remaining Being Dust ... Powder!

He Is Even Now Irretrievably Mixed 

With The Doubting, Disbelieving

Gainsaying, Own-Way Brethren

And
Is Making Them Fit Only To Become
Lake Of Fire Chowder!

WARNING:

Creeping Compromise Is A Sneak
Whose Pointy "But" Has A Slow Leak
Which Leaves A Stain
Upon Every Upturned Cheek
Which Causes The One Smeared
Of The Stench Of Willful Sin
Known Sin
- Unconfessed Sin -
Substantially To Reek!

But, Even Now, There Is Hope ...

The Dragon 

Is 

Already Defeated By The Willing Sacrifice Of

The Able, Loving, Faithful, Innocent

Giving, Blessing, And Still Receiving 

Sinners-Turned-Saints, Lord Jesus Christ
And

Is Just Waiting ... Not Idly Though

For The Formalities 

- For The Known Dead -
So Don't Suck The Egg!

If You Do

You Shall Surely Drink

The Bitter Cup's Dregs!

Eat Of The Living Bread!

Shouldn't The Living

After The Living God Holy

Boldly, Eagerly, Longingly, Seek!?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rich ... In Jesus! + PRAYER: Pity Us, Lord!

All We ... Like Sheep
Have Gone Astray
AND
All Of Us ... Being Sinners
Have Walked In Our Own Way!

We Believe That
We Are Rich
Increased With Goods
AND
Have Need Of Nothing
- Or So We Say -
BUT
Let Me Tell You Plain, Brethren
Unconfessed Sin
Before The Heavenly Father
Is Sin
For Which You, Personally
- Dearly -
Will Have To Pay!

No Man Can Forgive Sin
Because
Sin 
Is 
The Transgression Of The Almighty God's Law
AND
Anyone
- Be It Pope, Priest
President, Prime Minister
Pastor Or A Handsome Pretty -
Who Claims Otherwise
Is
Someone Working For The Very Devil
AND
Selling ... As Truth
Known Reasoning Flaws
AND
Outright Lies!
Oh, How Our Savior Cries!

Beloved ...

Whatever You Leaning
Your False God
Your Raging Lust
In Jesus Christ The Righteous
You May

• For Heart Comfort
• For Soul Blessing
• For Spirit Peace
• For Bodily Rest

In All Faithfulness 
Confidently Trust!

Jesus Christ
Is
- Even Now -
Still Calling The Sinner To Repentance
For
There Is No Human Being
Who Is Not
So
Come Out Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Come Out Of Babylon
Depart Envy 
Depart Greed 
Depart Hate
AND
Depart Pride
AND
Petition 
To Receive Blessings Glorious
Of Which 
The Eternal God, All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
Has An Innumerable
Unimaginable Lot!
Don't Against Your Name Make A Blot!

The Living God
Is Not
A Party To Lying Satan's Smoke And Mirrors
So
All Who Follow The Life-Giver
Faithfully
Obediently
Worshipfully
Trustingly
Shall Arrive In Eternity As Immortalized
Incorruptible Livers
Nevermore To Live In 
Or Be Affected By
Sin's Squalor!
Please Give Jesus Christ Your Heart's Call
Even If Your Voice Has To Holler!

Do Not Let

Your Love Of Sin

Devour

Your Gift Of Life

Basking

In God's Glory!

Trust

The Good News

Gospel Story
And
Let Your Happy-In-Jesus Soul's Voice
Get To Sing
To The Eternal God
Glory! Glory!
And
A Joyful Hallelujah!

PRAYER:

Lord,
Please Help Us
Not To Enjoy The World's Goods
So Much
That We Forget That
The Living Word
Is
Truth Provided
And
For Our Own Precious Soul's Good!

Pity Us, Lord
And
Help Us To See The Shining Light
Of
Heavenly Love!

Please Help Us, As Always
And
Bless Us
Is My Heart's Humble Prayer
For We Ask These Few Petitions
In The Matchless Name
Of
The Holy Jesus!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

HEAVEN IS HOME: Don't Crave Riches That Will Rot!

Self-Denial Is A Blessed Thing!

Repentance Is Good For The Soul!

Living Off The Profits Of Sin Is No Blessing!

Unconfessed Sin Is Sin Unforgiven!

An Unbelieving Man
Is Like A Car On Hub Caps Driven!
AND
A Believing Man Is As The Rain Upon The Earth
By Our Heavenly Father  Lovingly  Given!

The Unbelieving May Seemingly
Be Temporally Blessed
With Backpacks Of The Earth's Bounties
By Carrying The Unwieldy Weight Of Sin
Upon His Chest!
His Few Troubles Seem Surmountable
He Appears To Live The Life Of The Blessed
AND
He Intimates That He IS The Darling Of God
AND
Yet ... At Night
He Get's Neither Peace Nor Sweet Rest!

By Contrast
The Faithful Believing
Oft' Seem To The World
To Be Cursed!
There Is Evil Surmising Against Them
AND
Their Temporal Progress 
Seems To Always Be In Reverse!
To Outsiders
Their Prosperity Seems Blighted!
They Don't Glory In Things As Others Do
BUT
They Always Seem To Be Satisfied
AND (Shock)
Happy To Boot!

They Don't Walk Around Uttering Popular Mantras
Boasting Of Living On Ascended Bright Plains
AND
They Don't Take Pleasure In Things Trivial
Speaking Loftily
Like Those By Their Own Hand Self-Made!

The Believing
Faithful Friends Of The Holy God Of Heaven
Bow Humbly Before
Jesus Christ Their Lord
Who Paid For Their Redemption
So That They Won't Perish
In The Raging Sin Flood!

They Recognize Their Dying Condition
They Know That They Own Nothing By Which
Of Themselves
They May Be Saved
AND
They Believe The Words Of Their Master
AND 
WILLINGLY CHOOSE
By Perfect Love
To Be Wholly Enslaved!

They Recognize
That Their Life Is As A Crucible!
They Know That They Are Not Their Own!
Their Trials Are For The Perfecting Of Their Character
AND
They Trust Their Maker
Savior
Redeemer
To Get Them Safely To The Heavenly Home!

They Know Not To Hold Tightly
To Things Perishable!
They Know That Prayer Is The Royal Telephone!
They Know That Faith In Jesus Christ Brings Victory
AND
They Know That With Jesus Christ The Shepherd
They Do Not Ever Walk This Earth Alone!

They Confess 
AND
Repent Of Known Sins To The Father!
They Thrive In Their Faith
In The Lord Jesus Christ!
They Trust In Their Lord
For Their Daily Provision
AND
Rest In Peace And Safety At Night!

The Faithful Know
That Those Who Will Reach Heaven
That Celestial City 
Which Will Be Their Eternal Home
That They Must Be Purged 
Of Self
AND
Of Love Of Corruptible Things
AND
Must Have No Truck With The Fraud!

They Know That They Must Be Molded
In Character Like Christ Jesus
AND
They Must Daily Resist
Rebuke
AND
Reject Satan
AND
All Known Demonic Device!
They Lean On The Lord!
They Heed The Spirit's Call!
They Permit Themselves To Be Influenced For Good
By Holy Angels
AND
Humbly
Reverently Bow Before The All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever Present
Always Available Holy God!

Faith Is Their Victory!
Hope Is Their Holding Chain!
Grace And Mercy Are Their Prized Shackles
AND
Love Of The Lord Christ
Is Their Controlling Reign!

Their Lives Are Not Measured By Bank Balance!
Their Success Is Not Measured By Earthly Gain!
Their High Elevation Is Not Determined By Proximity
To Ungodly Men
AND
Their Peace Is Not Marred
By Earthly Mayhem!

Their Eyes Are Gazing Toward Heaven
Even Though Their Feet Be Fixed Upon The Earth!
Their Hands Are In The Hands Of Jesus Christ
AND
Earthly Failures
Don't Put Their Faith
Into Automatic Reverse!

We -  Faithful Followers -
Trust
Our Heavenly Father!
We - Having Reasoned With Him -
Believe
AND
Trust Him
To Honor His Holy Word!
We Hold To The Covenant
That Says There Is A Prepared Home For Us
In The Glorious Kingdom
AND
Summarily Reject
The Machinations Of Wilful Fraud!

We Know
Our God Is The One Faithful!
The Healer!
The Sealer!
The Helper!
The Hope!
The Only Friend True 
AND
We Desire To Attain The Promise
AND
Receive
The White Robe
The Gold Crown
The New Name
The Victor's Palm
AND
The Incorruptible
Immortality, Too!

So ...

Please Don't Pity Us
For Lack Of Positions
AND
Possessions!
We Do Not Envy You!
We Desire Only What Jesus Christ Has For Us
AND
We Pray!
How We Pray!
That You Would Receive Jesus Christ
Who Has A Personal Blessing Of Provision
AND
Heavenly Possessions
Waiting
Just For You!

Won't You Join Us

As We Walk

The Narrow, Rocky, Road Home?

Prayer: Grant Me The Mercy of Heaven!

Father, my heart is open to Your leading - grant me the mercy of Heaven!

Help me not to trust to, nor trust in, luck!

Help me Father to daily seek Your face 

as I travel along life’s pathways in this New Year.

Help me, Father, not to look with eyes of covetousness 

upon the dainties of those around me, for I do not know 

how the acquired their possessions, nor do I want to know, and

help me to stay contented with Your provision, whatever that may be.

Father, I ask for spiritual blinkers to be placed upon my eyes 

so that I can only see the straight path ahead, 

and help me to not yield to the temptations of the baubles and bounties 

of this dark world as they walk beside me to entice me from Your Light.

Even though I can’t store up earthly sustenance already utilized, 

help me to store Your spiritual food deep in my heart 

against the dark days that shall soon befall all men. 

Father, I am weak! 

Help me to be strong by, and in, Your Light for You say in Your word that 

Your strength is made perfect in weakness!

Father, I ask You to forgive me my sins,  

those I have remembered and confessed, 

and those long-forgotten and unconfessed sins, 

and I beseech You to help me to forgive myself,

 and to walk ever forward in faith. 

Today, Lord, I lay me down on the altar of sacrifice 

and I ask Your acceptance of my offering 

for Jesus' blood has made me clean.

I thank You for the many blessings 

You have already bestowed upon me, Lord, 

those seen and unseen, 

those known and unknown, 

those unexpected, and those unappreciated, 

and I earnestly pray for the soon coming of our Lord, Christ.

Father, I beseech You, by Your Grace, and in mercy, 

to bless me time and again so that I may bless another. 

Help me not to be tight-fisted with Your bounty 

but to open my hand, and my heart, to truly bless others in word, and in deeds,

so that Your Name may be glorified.

Help me, Father, to contend valiantly for the Faith, 

and keep me on the straight and narrow way to Glory.

Through it all, Father, keep me from becoming like Lot's wife.

Help me, Lord, not to look back, 

neither literally, nor figuratively as in my heart for what was.
Help me to look to what is possible to a life lived in You.

Help me to trust You, and in You, especially when I can't see You.

Help me, Lord, to love even as Jesus loves, and please engender

within me an unquenchable longing for ... Home,

for I am a pilgrim, and a stranger, in this vale of tears.

Thank You, Father, for hearing and answering my prayer. 

I love You, Lord.

 AMEN
