VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Church Has Leprosy!?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Choose ... You!

One Bright Day
In The Sight Of All
Miriam, Dear, Dear, Miriam
Broke Out In ... Gasp!
SPOTS!

S peaking Jealously And
P ridefully And In Direct
O position To Obvious
T ruth
S preads The Spores Of Sin!


Miriam Is A Godly Woman!
Woman Is ... Significantly 
A Church!
Miriam Is A Good Church
BUT
Good Church Got The Taint
Got Leprosy
AND
Good Woman Got Knocked Off Her Perch!

Leperous Woman Church
Is 
Shut Out
Shut Out Of The Congregation
The Camp Of God
Until Her Contagious Condition
Can Be Cured!

The Realm

Outside Of The Household Of Faith

Is Cold!

It Is The Place Of The Dying!

The Place Where Those

In Opposition To God's Truth

Are Bold!

The Leprosy
The Contagion
Affects All That It Touches
AND
Significantly
The Congregation Of God
The Church Of God
Cannot Grow
Grow In Grace
While Leprosy ... The Contagion Of Sin
Known Sin
Willful Sin
Is Welcomed
Practiced
Promulgated
By All Adherents Within!

Outside The Camp Of God
BUT YET
In The All-Knowing 
All-Seeing
Ever-Present God's Holy Sight
The Church
The Woman ... Falling ... Fallen
Felled By Sin
Can Be Set Apart
Counselled
Healed Back Into Communion
AFTER
In Willingness
Showing Brokenness
AND
Being Submissive To The High And Holy Power
She Admits Her Sin
Afflicts Her Soul
AND
Repents Of The Wrong-Doing
Casting Herself
On The Mercy Of The Eternal Faithful One God
Accepting The Just Chastisement
AND
Wills To Be As One Faithful Herself
Bowing Down And Worshiping
Praying Praising
Believing Loving Trusting
Working Watching And Waiting
Hopeful ... Of The Promised Restoration
AND
Looking For The Priest
The High Priest Of Our Profession
To Come And Pronounce Her Clean
AND
Restore Her To The Dominion!
What Peace!
What Glorious Peace
Compliments Of The Savior
The Living Holy God!

Know Ye Not That ...

Presumptuous Sin Is A Parasite
Which, Encouraged
Will Lead To Sure Death
Death 
As Ordained Once To All Man
AND
Death Designated Second
To Be Avoided At All Costs
By Choosing To Follow
The Ways
The Laws Of The Holy God
AND
Never The Lawlessness
The Wiles Of 
The Known Fraud!

Please Do Not Let Self
Sell You Polished Brass For Bright Gold!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
Wilderness
The Dominion Of Darkness
The Camp Of The Destroyer
The Place Of Serpents
Scorpions
Raptors
Scavengers
Bitter Water
Idolatry
Death
Destruction
Nothing Holy!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
The Camp Of The Lost Cause!

Got Leprosy?!

Are Scabs On The Body Showing?!

Call Christ Jesus

The Great Physician He

The One Holy

The One Only

Who Sacrificially Died

To Save Thee

On Mount Calvary!

Did You Know:

• A Group Of Vultures Is A Committee!
• A Flying Flock Of Vultures Is A Kettle!
• Vultures Feeding On A Carcass Is A Wake!

Do The Math!

**--**--**--**

Satan And The Legion Of Doom

In Committee

Plot Your Demise

And

Encourage You To Sin

Placing You Squarely In A Kettle

Obviously Filled With Hot Water

Marinating Covert Overt Lies!

When You Are Being Severely Punished
- As Is To Be Expected -

For Your Own Sin

And

Probably Dying

And

In A Lost Condition

Eventually Dead

Those Beings That Soon Won't Be

Conduct A "Happy" Wake

Lauding You As Their Prize

For Having Fallen Into The Trap

Of

The Wily Fraud
And

God-Fake

Satan The Snake!

Wise Up, People!

Soul Salvation Is At Stake!

Get On The Gospel Train

AND

Avoid The Fire And Brimstone Lake!

Leave Satan And His Kind

To Their Scheduled Date

With The Burning Lake!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Desire Health!
I Desire Cure!
I Desire Your Blessing
And
To Receive
All That You Have For The Faithful!
All That You Have In Heaven's Store!

Lord,
I Humble Myself Before You
I Bow, Now
So That I Will Not Break Later!
I Choose
- Of My Own Free Will -
To Obey You
And
To Live To You, True!

Forgive Me My Trespasses!
Forgive Me My Sin!
Bless Me With All Blessing
And
Correcting Me
When I Go Straying!

Bless Me To Do Your Will!
Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight!
Grant Unto Me Your Favor, Lord
The Grace That Will Give To Me Daily
Your Holy Light!

Remember Our Brethren
Those In Other Congregations
Other Families
Other Flocks
Those In Other Lands
Those Who Will To Know Christ
Those Who Find Your Love A Delight!

Lead Us, Lord
Into All Truth!
Grant Unto Us
Blessed Peace And Sweet Rest
Even Though In This Life
We Do Struggle
Even Though In A Crucible
We Take Sleep
And
Achieve That Which Is 
- To Carnal Man -
Not Dignified Rest!

You, Lord
Are Our Portion!
You, Lord
Are Our Hope!
You, Lord,
Are Our Sovereign
And
In Jesus Christ's Name
We Shall Our Lives
To You
Devote!

Hear Our Prayers, Lord
And
Have Mercy And Bless
For We Ask All
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: HEAVEN AWAITS THE FAITHFUL! (By Special Request)

Today Is Missing A Moment
The Moment I Would Spend With You
The Moment I Would Hear Your Voice
As I Would Spend Precious Time In The Lord With Just You!

I Feel You
And
I Think Of You, My Love
And
I Turn To Say Something To You
But ...
You're Not There!

I Stop ... Stunned
Angry ...
Sad ...
Realizing That 
There Is No More Looking Forward
To Tomorrows With You
And Wanting To Ask ... WHY!?!

But, THEN ... 

True To Our Shared Faith
In The Living God
I Remember That We Had
- I Still Have -
This Hope Within Our Hearts
That Jesus Is Real And Returning
And From The Vale Of Tears
We Shall One Glad Day
Forever Depart
And, So
I Stand Today
     In This Hour
         In This Moment
And I Say:

I Loved You - You Loved Me Back!

I Miss You - Cruel Death Attacked!

I Hope In The Lord Jesus

For

He Has Given

Sin Satan Death And Hell 

The Eternal Sack

AND

I Know We Shall See You

- Whole Healed Healthy -

When Heaven As The Scroll

Rolls Back

AND

I. Am. Blessed!

Beloved,
You Were Mine To Know
For A Short Time
As Man's Life Rolls
And Now
To Your Long Home
Your Mortal Coil Goes
BUT
To The Cinema Of Remembrance
Our Time Together Shall Go!
I Shall See You There!
How? When? Where? Why?
Who Knows?!
The Cinema Of Remembrance
Always Has A Picture Show!

I Shall See You In My Mind's Eye
AND
It Shall Be Enough
For
You Fell Asleep In The Lord Of Life
When You Ended Your Battle
In The Mortal Strife!

I Shall Cry!
We Shall All Cry For Your Felt Absence
BUT
We Shall Not Mourn As Heathens Do
For
Our Day Of Celebration
Is Fast Approaching
AND
We Know By Faith
That You Shall Be There
AND
Of That Knowledge We Have No Fear!

Sleep On, Well Beloved!
In Jesus Christ's Faith
We Shall Soldier On!
We Loved You
BUT
Almighty God Loves You Best!

Rest!

The Great And Glorious Day Approaches
When 
The Dew Of Eternal Life
Will 
Fall On The Faithful Of God
The Well And Truly Blessed!
Rest, Beloved!
Rest!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER ... Living By Jesus Christ's Faith!

Thank You, Lord
For My Spared Life
For A Roof Over My Head
For Health, Strength
For Friends And Family
And
The Blessed Assurance
That My Lord Christ 
Who Is The One To Come
Will Come
And Shall Not Be Silent!

Father,
I Am Thankful For The Saving Grace
That Assures Of A Place
In The Eternal City
And
I Am Immeasurably Grateful
For The Sacrifice
In The Person Of The Beloved
The Holy Jesus
That Makes It Possible
And
Permits Me The Faith
To Say With Conviction:

Father,
I Believe - Cure Me Of Any Unbelief!
I Trust - Cut Off My Access
To Satan's Best Weapon
Called Rightly Debilitating Doubt!

I Hope - Help Me To Stand Firm
In The Faith Of Jesus
So That The Rising Clamour Of The Rabble
Cannot Cause My Tree To Bear Wild Fruit!

I Love - Help Me To Love In Truth And Purity
And Not Look Back At What Was
Nor Look Down At What Is
But
To Look Up And Forward
To Him Who Is On The Way
Perfectly Patient
Permitting Patience To Do Her Work
Via The Fiery Trials
That All The World Must Face
And That All The Persevering Faithful
Will Willingly Endure
So That We Will Be Saved Forevermore!

Father,
Forgive Me My Folly
And Help Me
For I Believed I Was Rich
And Had The World By The Tail!
I Had Plenty And Needed Nothing
But All That I Was
Was To Sin 

A Regulation Slave! 

I Gratefully Acknowledge My Weakness
So That I May Claim Your Strength!

Father,
My Eyesight Is Poor - Apply Unsparingly
The Heavenly Eyesalve!
My Money Is Rusting And Cankered -
I Don't Want It To Testify Against Me
On The Great Day Of Vengeance
So I Apply To You
For A Share Of Heaven's Gold!

Lord,
Have Mercy!
Sin Made Me Fair To Naked
So Please Give To Me Your Garment Of Righteousness
That Linen Robe Clean And White
So That The Shame
My Shame
Be Not To The World Exposed!

Dear Lord,
I See My Need
For My Soul's Savior
For My Soul To Be Reconciled
To My Father
To My Maker
And
I Reach For The Hand
That Is Help
My Hope
My Salvation
And
I Bow My Head
In Convicted-Of-Sin Worship
And
Ask For The Holy Spirit's Working
So That I Am Truly Converted
To The Way Of Cross
As I Walk Renewed
Protected
Sheltered
On The Narrow Way To Surpassing Glory!

I Claim Jesus Christ As Mine!
Grant Unto Me The Character Of The One Divine
And
Bless Me To Arrive Safely
By Your Grace
In The Land Called Sublime!

I Worship You, Lord
For I Honor
Trust And Love You
And Bless You With Unfeigned Lips!

Hear My Prayer

For You Are My God

And I Hold You In Godly Fear!

Please Show Me Again

That For Me You Do Care!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray, And Humbly Plead!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JESUS CHRIST: The Electrician

I Was Walking In Darkness!
My House Was Shuttered! - No Light!
My Windows Were Darkened!
I Couldn't See The Way!
And I Needed An Electrician
One Who Would Accept No Pay!

My Eyes Were My Windows!
My House Was My Soul!
Spiritual Was My Darkness
And I Needed The Light Of Life
To Enter Into My Soul!

I Opened The Book Of Helps
And
I Found And Dialled The Registered Number -
PRAYER
And
Before The Number Could Ring
I Heard A Voice Answer:

Holy Spirit Line
Jesus Christ Speaking!

Jesus?

I AM!

Would You Help Me, Please?!
I Need Light!
I Am Walking In Darkness!
Satan Is Running After Me
About Ready To Completely Catch Me!
He Keeps Asking:

Hath God Said?!

And, I ...
I Am Tongue-Tied!
I Have Been Tardy Studying The Scriptures
So I Can't Distinguish God's Truth
From His Devilish Lies!

Child,
Why Are You Tardy?

Lord,
I Must Tell You The Truth!
I Am Busy
Doing Busy Work
Running Around Doing A Lot Of
Church Committee Work!
I Am On A Committee
To Set Up A Committee
And A Committee To Regulate Committees
And The Large Committee To Select The Small Committee
And Then
I Have Housework
School Work
Work Work
And Other Church Work
And Then
I Am So Tired
I Can Barely See My Bible To Read
And I Have Even Been Neglecting Prayers
Too Tired To Even Get Down On My Knees
And
If I Do Get On My Knees
I Fall Asleep Saying My Prayers
My Mind Is Wandering On A Tangent
And
I Don't Even Remember Changing Gears!
I Am Troubled In My Spirit!
My Soul, Lord, Is Distressed!
I Need You To Fix Me
For
I Am Suffering From Intemperance
By Church Work And Work Work Excess!

Child,
What Is My Charge To You?

Seek Ye First
The Kingdom Of God ...!

And, Then?

Go Ye Into All The World ...!

Beloved,
Do You Love Me?

Lord, You Know Everything!
You Know That I Do Love You!
I Keep All The Commandments
And
I Do Good
And
I Walk Right
But ...!

Your Spiritual Life Is Bankrupt
And
Satan Is Winning In The Fight!

Yes, Lord!
That Is It!
Please, Tell Me What To Do
For
I Am Willing To Listen
And
Do
What You Ask Me Too!

When You Are Spiritually Tired
Are You Sober?
Are You Vigilant?
Can You Fight Your Adversary
Who Has No Need
For Human Rest And Lunch?

You Must Make The Reading Of Scriptures
A Part Of Your Necessary Bread
And
You Must Make Your Prayers As The Water You Drink
Without Which
You Would Soon Be Dead!

Knowing That I Am Just A Prayer Away
And
Never Calling My Name
Is Just The Same As Calling Me
By Dialling A Wrong Number In Vain!

It Is Not That
Every Time
You Want To Talk With Me
That You Can On Your Knees Pray
Commune With Me
In The Silence Of Your Mind
And Know
That I
Who Created You
Is The Only One Who Can Read Your Mind!

Share Your Sorrows
Your Joys
Your Tears
Your Fears
Your Concerns
Your Desires
Your Trials
Your Burdens
Share Your Life With Me!
I Care!
No Burden Is Too Heavy
No Need Is Too Small
No Sin Is Beyond Forgiveness
For I Forgive Who In Contriteness Of Heart
Repentant
On Me Humbly
Prayerfully
Calls!

I Have Begun A Good Work In You!
I Will Finish It
IF
You Permit Me Too!
I Will Walk With You
IF
You Let Me!
I Will Lead You
IF
You Set Aside Self
And Let Me Safely Guide You
Your Whole Life Through And Through!

I Go Where I Am Welcomed!
I Will Never In Your Life
Uninvited
Walk In!
I Knock At Your Door
If You Answer And Invite Me In
I Will Be Your Companion
Until This Life's Journey's End!

BUT ...
You Must Call Upon Me
AND
I Will Answer!
You Must Spend Time With Me
For
Friends Who Love Their Friends
Always Care And Share!

I Am The Lord!
I Am The Good Shepherd!
I Am The Friend That Sticketh Closer Than A Brother
AND
I Am The King Of Love
Who Has A Home Prepared
For All Who Will Walk In My Truth
Blessing The Brethren
The Poor
The Meek
With Kindly, Brotherly, Love!

I Am Your Savior
Your Redeemer
The Holy God
I Have Rewards Set Aside
For All Who Faithfully Follow Me
Casting Aside Satan
The Liar
The Tempter
The Deceiver
Who Wishes To Be God!

Trust Me - I Love You!
Follow Me - I Know What Is Best For You!
Worship And Obey Me
In Spirit And By Truth
And
In The Day Coming
You Will Be Changed
Made Immortal
And
With Me Live
In Eternal Youth!

Father,
Please Lead Me
Day By Day
Teach Me Your Own Holy Ways
And
Help Me To Do What You Say!
I Love You, Lord!
I Worship You!
Please Lift Me Up
So That I May Lift You Up, Too!
I Desire With My Whole Heart
To Follow After You!

Welcome Home, Child!

My Lights Were Turned On!
I Can Now Clearly See!
I Can See Truth!
I Can Recognize Devilish Lies
AND
In The Name Of Jesus
By Prayers And Reading God's Truth
Satan Can No Longer
With His Dark Sayings
My Mind Tantalize!

Some Days Are Easier Than Others
Some Days Are Harder Than Most
BUT
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Under The Agency Of The Holy Ghost
I Am Striving By God's Grace For Zion
Where Jesus Christ Will Be My Forever Host!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Stand Up For Jesus Christ!

There Is The Day Coming
It  Is Even At The Door
When All Who Believe
Must Stand Up 
AND
Be Counted
As Those Who Refuse
By Satan
To Be Willingly Deceived!

By Fearing Almighty God
They Will Face What Most Humans Fear -
Loss 
Of Friends
Home 
Job
Family
Freedom
Even Losing Their Lives
Buy And Sell Denials
AND
Demands
That The Establishment's Faith And Beliefs
Against Conscience
Against God-given Right
Must By All Be Honored
By All Be Glorified!

Today!
Today!
We Must Start From Today
To Prepare For The Battle
To Stand Up For Jesus Christ
Him Who We Hold 
In Godly Fear!

If We Say That We Believe
We Should Have A Ready Answer For Why!
Ready To Defend Christ Calmly
Not With Hiccups
Nor Theatrics
Nor Wailing Worry
For
It Is Promised That
The Holy Spirit Will Teach Us
AND
Remind Us What It Is
We Shall Say
AND
Almighty God Will Be Glorified!
God's Truth Will Take The Day!

Trust Not In Man
Nor Horses
Nor Princes!
Let Us Fill Our Minds Now
With Good Food
Out Of God's Great Storehouses!
Let Us Learn Our Memory Verses!
Let Us Fill Up Our Hearts
With Jesus Christ's Love 
By Leaning On The Promises Provided By God
AND
Holding Fast To Our Hope
Even When We Are Being Beaten
By The Arch-Deceiver's Flailing Rod!

Look Unto Jesus
The Author And Finisher
Of Our Faith
AND
Remember The Holy Spirit Will Comfort
AND
That Holy Angels Are Protecting Us
AND
Do Not
- By Doubt And Unbelief -
Our Faith In Jesus Christ
Disgrace!

We Are Nearing Home!
Glory Is In Faith's Sight
AND
Heavenly Canaan's Border
Is On The Horizon
So Let Us Not Permit 
Deceitful Temple Vestals
To Tempt Us Unto Sins Of The Flesh 
AND
False Worship
To Cause Us With Dogs
To Be Left Outside
The Land Of Milk And Honey
To Suffer Satan
Fallen Angels
AND
Unrepentant, Bold Sinners'
Known In Advance
Just
- Prescribed By God -
Fate!

Work! Work Now
For
Night Is Coming
When No Man Can Work!
Trust God! Trust God Now
For
- By Dying -
Jesus Christ Redeemed Us
To His Father Who
Ever Works!

Trust And Obey
AND
Work
Pushing That Gospel Plow!
Jesus Has Already Saved Us
So Believe 
AND
Walk!
AND
Walk! 
AND
Work! ... By Faith
Because Of Love For Our Lord
For
Jesus Christ Himself
- The Lover Of Our Souls -
Guarantees 
Our Entry Fee
To Enter Through The Pearly Gates
AND
Into Prepared Mansions 
Of Purest Gold!

Live Now For Jesus Christ

To

Live Eternally With Jesus Christ

for

That Is God's Promise

Which Demons

Nor Demon-Inspired Men

Can Prove Is A Great Lie!

TRUST JESUS CHRIST!!
