VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Property!

If We Are Sealed By The Holy Spirit
Whom Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us
And 
We Wittingly Reject Jesus Christ 
Through Whom, Alone, We Get Home To The Father
And 
Who, Alone, Gives Us The Holy Spirit
We Are Not Sealed Against The Wrath Of The Lamb
We Cannot Get Home To Glory
And
We Are Damned For All Eternity
Because
We Choose To Stand In Our Sin ... Alone!

Consider Sodom And Gomorrah!
Consider The Antedelluvians
And
The Canaanite Tribes
Wiped Clean From The Earth
And
Ask Your Self These Wise Questions:

Do I Want To Live Eternally!?! 

Why Should I Die
When I Have The Security Blanket
The God Of All Grace
Who Holds Up The Sky
And Yet
Gently Calls Me Home
In His Love Eternally To Abide!?!

There Are No Place Space Holders
In The Economy Of The Eternal God 
And
Any Of Us Who Will Be Made Profitable
By ... And To ... Him
Shall Reap The Cumberer Of The Earth's Reward! 

Hold Up! 
What's A Cumberer Of The Earth
And What Is Their Reward!?! 

I'm So Glad That You Asked That Question! 
When You Plant A Fruit Tree
Do You Plant It As An Ornamental
Or To Receive Fruit!?! 

I Want Fruit, Lots Of Fruit To Eat, To Enjoy! 

Okay! 
Now, If, Let's Say, Your Fruit Tree Was Killed By Blight! 
What Would You Do!?! 

It Ain't Got No More Purpose So I'd Cut It Down 
And I'd Burn The Remnants So That Blight Cannot
Infest My Other Trees! 

Now, Let's Say That Your Good-Fruit Tree
Over Time
Slowly Started Producing Less And Less Fruit
And 
What It Did Produce Was Blighted, Inedible
Until It Stopped Producing Altogether! 
What Would You Do!?! 

Well, Considering That I Once Had A Tree Like That
And I Dug At It Roots
Manured It
Fed It Medicine
Talked To It
Had Professionals Attend To It
And Even Prayed For It
And Finally Having No Hope Of It Ever Again Being 
Profitable, Beneficial, Worthwhile
Good For Anything Save Firewood
Hard Though It Was
I Made The Executive Decision
Said: " Don't Want To Be You!"
And ... With Great Malice
I Chopped That Puppy Down
And I Burned The Stump! 
It Ain't Never Coming Back! 

I Hear You! 

Why Did You Go To Such Lengths!?! 

The Lord Know I Wanted To Save My Tree! 
Oh, How I Loved That Tree! 
I Expensed Myself
And I Did Everything Possible To Preserve Its Life 
But It Was In Vain
And Since It Was Serving No Purpose
Or More Specifically 
Since It Was Not Serving Its Appointed, Expected Purpose
It Had To Go
So I, Within My Rights, Destroyed It! 
It Was Just Taking Up Space
And Who Knows
It Could Have Infected The Other Trees
It Could Have Blighted The Land! 

So, My Wise Friend
Would Not Say Then That 
Your Unproductive Tree Was An Encumbrance 
Or More Specifically
A Cumberer Of The Ground!?! 

Well, Hot Diggety Dog! 
I Sure Would! 

The Bottom Line ... 

We Are Here To Know God
To Be Made Right With God
To Serve God
And
To Be Made Right
To Get Back Home To Our Father
And
If We Through Loving The Lie
Become Blighted To The Truth
Our Owner ... By Creation
Our Owner ... By Redemption
Through His Shed Blood
Exercises The Only Remedy Available
To Truly Get Rid Of The Problem
Or Face Losing The Whole Planting! 

Simply Put
We Have The Free Will To Make The Free Choice:
Do ... Or Be Doomed! 

The Options ... 

Serve Your Purpose
Or
Be Severed On Purpose! 

Never Forget, Brethren
You Are Not The Owner Of The Property
Your Body You Inhabit
Nor The Land Upon Which You Live! 

You Are Almighty God's Property
And
He Expects A Return On His Investment ... Plus Usury
Aka Profit! 

You Have His Breath Of Life
And
The Gift Of The Holy Spirit
To Teach And To Lead You Into All Truth
Thus Making You Profitable
To Your Creator, Lord, God And King! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Choose To Live Up To Your God-Given Potential
And
Be Blessed To Occupy Your Prepared-For-You Place
In The Eternal City Where Love Dwells! 

Be Not Deceived To Walk In Your Own Way
Which Will Lead You To Destruction
The Sure Damnation! 
Believe The Word! 
Receive The Heaven-Sent Promises
And
Be Assured That You Will Be Forever Blessed! 

Beloved, 

Our Heavenly Father Bears With Us Long! 
By Prayer And Supplication
By The Intercession Of Our Lord
He Is Encouraged To Bear With Us
A Little Longer
But
Be Ye Warned And Armed
He Will Not Bear With Us Always! 

Best By
Use By
Expiration Date ...

We Are At Our Best
When We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
And
Choose To Willingly Obey The Lord! 

We Are To See To It That We Settle Accounts With 
And 
Perform Service For The Lord
Before The Day Of Our Death! 
There Is No Second Probation For Mankind!

If We Have Not Chosen Jesus Christ
As Our Eternal Portion
Through Confession, Repentance
Obedience And Faithfulness
Our Expiration Date 
Is 
The Day Of Our Demise ... Our Death
And
Our Account With Our Maker
Is
Effectively Closed! 

There Is No Turning Back
To Correct!
There Is No Going Forward
To Enjoy!

All That Is Left To Such
Is 
The Day Of Destruction 
At The Second Resurrection! 

Think About It!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD:


What We Do For Almighty God
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Is
Remembered And Recorded 
So Your Work Is Not Vain! 
Think On The Promises Purchased
And 
The Sacrifices That Our Lord Has Made
And
Consider What These Gifts To Us Have Cost Him
And
Recognize How And Why The Total Bill Was Paid 
With Shame ... You Are The Reason
And 
Gratitude ... He Loves You And You Are Forgiven
And 
Love And Devotion
Because
You Can't Help But Desire Him!








The Promise 
Is 
Given To All Who Choose To Believe That 
A Place In The Father's House 
Is 
Being Prepared For Us There 
And 
There We Will Be Received 
To Live With The King, The Lord God, Holy Divine
So Dare To Accept The Gift Of An Everlasting, Blessed, Future 
Where Life, New, Is Sublime! 

Dare To Trust The Word Of The One Who Is The Truth
Who Is The Life
And 
Who Directs Us On The Road Home 
Because 
He Is The Way: We Do Not Walk Alone!

Remember ...

The Father Wants Us In His House
His Joy And Glory To Share! 
Exercise Your Gift Of Faith 
And 
For The Grand Journey Prepare! 

The Walk To Freedom Is Not Easy!
The Way To Damnation Is Not Hard! 
The Walk To Freedom ... From Sin
From Self, Death, Hell And The Grave
By Our Lord Christ's Great, Encompassing, Grace
Gives Unto Us ... Who Are Willing To Submit To His Will
The Expected End ... The Prophesied Future
The Promised Eternity With Him
But
The Way To Damnation ... Unwisely Dying In Known-Sin
Ensures That Living In Sin
Will Be The Unrepentant Sinner's Final Hymn! 


Have Faith In God! 
He Is The Great Creator! 
Have Faith In God! 
He Is The One True Friend! 
Have Faith In God! 
He Will Reward Your Labor! 
Have Faith, Dear Friend 
In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Have Faith In God! 
He Knows The End From The Beginning! 
Have Faith In God! 
In Him Is Abundant Living! 
Have Faith In God! 
His Truth Demands Of Us Sacrificial Giving! 
Have Faith, Dear Friend
In Jesus Christ The Lord!

PINS: Sin And Spin

Do We All Have Our Identification Numbers!?!

Yes, Ma'am!!!

Very Good!
Please Keep Your Identification Card Handy
And
The Number Visible!
You Will Be Challenged When You Least Expect It!

Grumble, Grumble, Grumble!

What Was That Comment!?!
I Didn't Catch What You Were Saying!

Oh, Sorry, Ma'am!
I Was Just Saying That
I Wished That Satan Had 
His Own Identification Number  
So That We Could Challenge Him!

True!

Indeed! We Could Really Challenge Him Then!

Class! Class! 
Please Return To Your Seats For A Moment!

Oh, Man! I Thought We Were About To Leave!?!

We Are, But This Is Very Important!
Please Pay Attention, Careful Attention
To What I'm Going To Say:

Satan's Identification Number
Is
A Little, Bitty, Thing Called SIN!
It Attracts The Rich And The Poor
And
Get's Promulgated By sPin!

The "P" in sPin Is For Person
The Me
The You
The They
Who Consider Sin A Trivial Thing
Calling It Games Play!

But

When You Ignore Sin
And
Indulge sPin
You Will Notice Sin, Spin
And
Become Pins
Upon The Points Of Which
You Walk, Sit, And Lie
And
You Lie To Yourself About
The Origin Of Your Pain ... Your Fall
Your Character Stain
And, Then In Agony
You Cry And Cry
And
Truth, Deny
And
Woefully Willful
And
Unwisely Wandering
Your God, Giving You Grace
You Disgracefully Defy!

So How Do You Overcome This!?!

Stop!
Think!
Turn!
And
Testify!

Wow!
It Can't Be That Easy, Can It!

Oh, But It Is
And 
Because It Is That Easy
Very Many People Least Count The Gospel Of Grace
And  
Trapped, Trip ...!

...And Fall Flat On Their Faces!


Let's Look At Galatians 5:16-17!





It Has Very Telling Information To Impart To Us!

The Easy Way To Live Is To Say That The Spirit Is Willing
But
The Flesh Is Weak
And
Continue On Smartly Aka Foolishly
Living In Known, Yet Despised, Sin!

He Who Willfully Sins, Never Wins ...!

... And Will Never Wear The Crown!

No Cross, No Crown!

Indeed!
We Are Called To Take Up Our Cross Daily
To Follow The Lord 
To Do The Good And The Right
And
To Rid Our Selves Of The Rust Of Sin
By The Holy Spirit's Leading
Teaching, Guiding, And Chiding!

The Way Of The Cross Is,

Father,
I See My Need
And 
Only You Can Help Me! 
I Cannot Overcome My Sin On My Own
So, Please, Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit
Upon This Sinful Flesh
And Strengthen Me
To Do Your Will
And To Please You
In Every Way, Today! 
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Pray And Humbly Plead! 
AMEN.



When We Trust The Living Word
We Shall Be Blessed
And
With Faithful Endurance Unto Life's Journey's End
Then Eternally Blessed!

Commitment To Christ Is Key!

Grace And Mercy
Are Available To Me And Thee
And 
Almighty God's Forgiveness 
Does Not Require A User Fee!

Jesus Christ Paid It All!

Sin Is The Charge Account With Usurious Fees
And
Only The Lord Christ Can Change Us
Can Set Us Free Indeed
And
Get Us Home Safely
To The Glorious Heavenlies!

Satan's Journey To Joy Over Us
Is 
A Bust
When We In The Living Word Of Absolute Truth
Totally, Totally, Trust!
Onward And Upward, People!
Let's Leave Satan In The Dust!

AMEN!!!
