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!

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!
