With Confidence And In Humility, Depend On The Lord!









Beloved, 

Despite The Challenges We Daily Face
Let Us Approach Our Great God In Prayer 
With Humility, Confidence, And Dependence! 

In Humility 
Because 
You Are In The Holy Presence Of The Eternal And Sovereign God! 

In Confidence 
Because 
You Know That Your God Is Real 
And 
Is Well Able To Provide 
For He Is Our Creator And Our Re-Creator
And 
Our Redeemer-God
Our Deliverer
The Lord Of Life! 

In Dependence 
Because 
We Know That He Knows That We Need Him Who Made Us
And 
We Know That He Loves Us Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally
And 
Desires Our Salvation
Our Healing
Our Cleansing

And 

We Truly Believe That 
He Will Do All That He Has Promised To Do For Us 
By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
And 
Ascension To His Father's House As The Conquering King! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Guarantees Of 
Goodness And Grace And Glory In This Life 
Are In The Word Of Christ The King Who Gives Us Liberty! 

Let Us This Day Bow Before The Lord With Love
In Humility
Expressing Need, Gratitude, Giving Thanks, And Praise
Believing And Trusting Almighty God 
In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus
And 
Finish It All With A Glad 
"AMEN! - So Let It Be!" 

Our King Is Coming: 
Get Ready 
And
Stay Vigilant Against Deceitful Snakes
Roaring Lions
And 
Fearsome Dragons! 

Look To Jesus Christ 
The Living, Holy, Light Of Life That 
Leads To Eternal Life! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You-Juice OR True-Juice!?!




 


We Consider Ourselves Capable To Take Care Of Ourselves 
And
Naively Forget That There Is A "But!" 

As Thus Says The Word Of The Living God
We Are Mortal
Made A Little Lower Than The Angels 
And, Therefore
We Have Limitations! 

We Forget That We Are Sinners By Nature 
And, Therefore
Have Spiritual, Physical And Emotional Needs 

And

Because Of Sin
And 
Our Need For Christ's Purchased-For-Us Salvation
We Need To Be Constantly Vigilant 
As Regards Our Surroundings 
And
About Whom We Permit To Be A Part Of Our Circle! 

Beloved, 

Never Forget That 
Jesus Christ Had A Judas In His Circle! 

Also, Please Remember That 
Our Greatest Enemy 
Is 
The Enemy ... Within! 

Self 
Is 
Always A Sinner
And
Self Will Never Be Humble, Faithful, Just
Loving, Kind 
Or True ... To You! 

Self 
Is 
An Agent Of Satan 

And

A Cultivated, Nurtured, Well-Fed Self 
Is
Always Going To Destroy Its Host 
Aka You, Me, We ... Who Refuse To Permit The Savior
- By The Holy Spirit's Working - 
To Renew, Reform
And 
Regenerate Us In His Image
In His Likeness! 

Invite Jesus Christ In
And
Get Rid Of Self
Get Rid Of Sin
And
Be Rid Of Satan!

Self Is You-Juice! 
Salvation Is True-Juice! 

Self Is Death: 
Salvation Is Life! 
Choose Life! 

The Promised Peace of God
Is
Perfect!

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home!







No Matter What Is Visibly, Physically
Emotionally
Financially, Spiritually, Testing You, Beloved
Keep Your Eyes, Your Heart 
Your Hands 
And 
Your Hopes 
Firmly Fixed On The Lord Jesus 
Who, Alone, Knows The End From The Beginning 
And 
Is With Us At All Points In Between! 

Remember That Jesus Also Daily Gives Us The Faith 
To Have Faith In Him 
For Each Day That We Live In This Vale Of Tears 
Experiencing The Myriad Things That 
Try Our Purchased, Precious, Souls! 

Never Forget Whose Child You Are! 
Keep Uppermost In Your Thoughts 
The Destination To Which You Are Headed! 
Be Vigilant To Resist The Enemy Of Your Soul 

And

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Remind Yourself That Getting Home 
Is 
Worth Whatever We Must Pay For Our Passage 
And 
Know That That Cost Is Cheap!
 
Almighty God ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 
Gave His Best ... His All ... To Grant Us This Privilege 
So Let No Created Being
Seen Or Unseen
Known Or Unknown 
Rob You Of The Unspeakable Gift
Eternal Life In The Paradise Of God! 


Think About Going Home: 
Constantly Commune With Christ! 

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

Knowingly Experiencing
The Love Of Jesus Christ
Is
Sweet Peace
For The Longing Heart!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Your Love Is Showing, Lord!


Mark 13:33 Take you heed, watch and pray: for you know not when ...



Father, 
You Have Cautioned Us 
To Take Heed That No One Deceive Us
And To Take Heed To Watch And Pray! 
Your Love Is Showing: Thank You, Lord! 

Please Grant Us The Grace That 
Will Cause Us To Be Humble
Vigilant And Enduringly Faithful 
To Live For Christ Jesus
To Let The Holy Spirit Guide And Chide Us
And Our Souls Constantly Feed! 

Help Us To Only Go  
Where The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Will Protect Us!
Please Help Us To Permit Their Good Influence 
To Keep Us On The Side Of The Good And Right! 

Please Also Grant The Grace Which Will See Us 
Accepting Your Truth 
According To The Preserved Word 
No Matter Who Is Saying It
And Help Us To Detect 
And Reject 
Lies, Error, And Practiced Deceit 
No Matter Who Is Delivering The Same 
Because We Know You And The Living Word 
Personally And Intimately! 

Please Help Us To Do Right 
Because It Is Right 
And To Love Truth Because It Is You
And You Always Save! 

Please Help Us To Keep Away From Idols 
And Get Rid Of The Idols In Our Lives, Lord
No Matter How So-Called Valuable, Convenient
Personal Or Profitable 
Their Ownership And Association May Be! 

Please Cleanse Our Tongues
Unstop Our Ears 
And Heal Our Eyes 
And Bless Us 
In Jesus' Matchless Name We Humbly Pray! 
AMEN!!! 

Heed The Holy Word
Of
Almighty God
Not The Lying Word
Of
The False Gods Of This Dying World!
Fear The Living God
Not The Man Who Needs
The Life-Giving God
To Be Able To Say That He Is Alive!

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

The Word Of Almighty God
Is
Our Comfort And Shield
And
Our Sword And Our Bed:
It Is The Truth Unchangeable!

Seven Steps To The Eternal God!

The Steps Are Plain:

Determination ... Set The Mind Toward Knowing God
And
Preparation ... Get Ready To Meet God
Isolation ... Spend Alone-Time With God
Expectation ... Look Always For A Blessing
Adoration ... Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness
Revelation ... Learn God By Letting Him Reveal Himself
Mediation ... Think To Bless Others
Transformation ... Acquire Christ's Character


The Holy God
Knows The End From The Beginning!
He, It Is, That Sustains Us ... In Between
And
All Who Would See Jesus Christ In Peace
Should
With Doing The Will Of Almighty God
Be Enormously Pleased!

Walking With The Eternal God
Requires
Personal Determination
To Get To Know ... Intimately
The Great I AM
And
To Set Aside All Noisome Distractions
And
Those Things Which Do Not Edify!

In Getting To Know The Creator God
One Must Indulge In Preparation
Aka Setting Aside Self
And 
Things Of The Carnal Sort
Because
Personal Sacrifice Is A Desirable Attribute
Which ... Avidly Pursued
Leads One ... Living Only For Christ Jesus
Unto The Great Reward!

Making Time For The Savior God
Requires 
Isolation
Quiet Time
Communion With The Holy Spirit
The Great Teacher
Who Leads Into All Truth
Teaching Guiding Chiding
All In Perfect Love
So That Our Hearts Are Not Lifted Up In Pride
But 
That In The Great God
We May Abide
And
Confidently Confide!

In Walking With The Redeemer God
One Must Have Great Expectations
For
The Blessings Of The Great God Are Never Small!
After All
He Did Make Heaven, Earth And Things All! 

We Must Believe That The Blessing God's Gifts To Us
Are Out Of His Abundant Riches
And
Not Fall For The Sophistries Of Satan
The Wily Dragon
The Benighting Fraud!

What Point Is Our Association
If We Do Not Adore The True God!?! 

It Is A Decided Blessing To Lift Up
The Living God
So, Let's Not Skimp On Praying
Praising
And
Petitioning The Everlasting God
Because
This Is A Precursor
To Our Hallelujah Days!
Let Not This Step Be Just A Momentary Phase! 

As We Walk The Steps To The Kingdom Of Light
Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit
The Lord's Character To Truly Reveal! 
Let Us Not Be Dabblers
But
Become Specialists On Him Who Is
Light Life
Love And Salvation
And
We Shall Not Be Among Those
Who Honor Self
Lift Up Sin
And
Are Walking Toward Sure Damnation!
He Is The God Who Heals! 

And ... 

In The Process Of Our Own Journey
Let Not Forget Our Brethren
By Blood
By Faith
By Affection! 
Let Us Not Forget The Stranger In The Way! 
Let Us ... For The Love Of The Lord Christ
Generously Mediate for Others!
We Are All One Blood! 
We Are Sisters And Brothers! 

Brethren, Beloved
I Tell You The Truth:
We Will Be Transformed! 
We Will Not Be Left Untouched
Unaffected
By Our Relationship With The Lord Christ! 
We, Converted
Regenerated
Shall Be As He Is! 
We Shall Be Like Him! 
With His Character, We Shall Be Adorned
And
We Shall Truly Know
Why, For Us
He Wore That Cruel Cutting Crown Of Thorns!

Please Do Not Let Christ's Sacrifice For Us
Become The Thing Call Waste! 
Let Us Be Vigilant
And
Let The Spirit Of The Living God
The Sin Character In Us ... Today 
Totally Efface!

Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind! 
Set Your Affections On Things Above! 
Desire The Gift That Only God Through Jesus Christ Gives
And
At The Appointed Time
We Shall To The Promised Land
Beulah Land Of Gold
Triumphantly
Go To Eternally Live! 

To Satan ... 

The Words:
"Get Thee Behind Me!"
With Finality
Boldly Give!
