WAITING, WATCHING, WORKING, WISE: Who You Be!?!

Roll Call Was On Tap!
The Groups Were Being Set!
Every Person Had A Designated Spot
To Which They Were Called To Step:


  • Worriers
  • Warriors
  • Waiters
  • Watchers
  • Workers
  • Wise
  • Waiting, Watching, Working, Wise
All Were Designated
And 
Boy Howdy
It Showed A Significant Surprise!

Named Warriors Were Many!
Willing Workers Were Few!
Watchers Were Myriad!
Wise Were One Or Two!
Worriers Were Legion
And
Waiters Were No Big Deal
Because
They Included Me And You!

When The Dust Had Quite Settled
The Group Designated
Waiting, Watching, Working, Wise
Were The Willing Warriors
Who Sought To Emulate Lord Christ 
By Their Lived Lives!

These Take The Word Of The Master To Heart!
These Have Cast Their Burden On The Lord
And
These Have Chosen Not To Let The Deceiver Cause Them
To Make A Liar Of Their Lord!

They Are Not Anxious For Anything!
They Pray Humbly And Without Ceasing!
They Choose To Trust The Lord Each Day For Grace
And
They Willingly Exercise Their Daily Gift Of Daily Faith!

These Do Not Puff Up Themselves With Useless Titles!
The Only Title They Cherish 
Is
Faithful Child, Eager Student
Willing Servant Of The Eternal God
And
Because They Keep Their Eyes Fixed Upon Christ Jesus
They Have And Are Stirring Up The Enmity Of
Satan, The Piercing Serpent
Beelzebub The Bold
Leviathan The Gross Liar
Behemoth The Wannabe God 
The Damned-For-Eternity Fraud!

When They Were Asked What Makes Them Strong In Faith
When Everyone Knows That They Are Weak In Flesh
They, With One Voice, Spoke The Word
And
Made A Heartfelt Plea Where Their Words Could Be Heard:


Psalm 16:8 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net




Think About It ...

Those Who Walk Together, Agree! 
Those Who Extend Their Right Arms To Each Other
Clasp Them In Greeting
For Joy
In Fellowship
In Agreement
And 
To Seal A Covenant! 

Beloved, 

At The Right Hand Of The Lord 
Is 
Fullness Of Joy ... Joy Unspeakable! 

The Question Is
How Can You Have Jesus Christ At Your Right Side
And 
Be At His Right Side At The Same Time
To Make You Unmovable In Your Struggle 
Against Self, Sin And Satan
And 
To Be Able To Experience Joys Forevermore!?! 

Won't We Have To Be Beholding Him
Looking At Him 
Seeing Him In All His Beauty!?! 

To Clasp Right Hands
We Must See Each Other 
And 
Be Desirous  To Touch ... Each Other! 

Remember ... 

Touching In Agreement 
Is 
A Cooperative Act
And 
To Enjoy The Joys At The Right Hand Of The Lord 
Requires Reciprocated Love! 

Do You Love The Lord!?! 
Are You Touching The Lord!?! 
Are You Seeing The Lord!?! 
Are You At The Lord's Right Hand
The Right Hand Of Almighty Power!?! 

Please, Brethren, 

Check Yourselves 
And 
Dare To Get Right With The Lord Today
For Peace ... And Joy!

Please Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Watch, Work, And Humbly Wait 
As A True Warrior For The Holy Faith
Until He Shall Come To Claim Us
Who Are Known To Be His Very Own:
His Glory Awaits His Children Faithful!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Privileges

When We Seek Always
To Please The Living God
What We Do Will Bless Us
And
Move Us Closer To The Heavenly Reward!

If What We Do To Please The Lord
Results Always In Our Receiving A Blessing
Does It Not Stand To Reason, Friend
That What We Do For Our God 
Results ... Always
Satan Displeasing!?!

I Can Live With, And On, That! 

Then Believe It, Friend! 
'Tis True, 'Tis True!

Pleasing Almighty God
Sends Satan After You
To Try, Test, Torment, Terrorize, Torture
And
To Try To Cause You The Holy Will To Doubt
Because
You ... Being Amongst Jesus Christ's Faithful
- Giving Up Self-Will -
Refuse To Bow To His Carnal, Bold, Lies!

Indeed, My Friend!
That's Because In The Realm Of The Willful
The Restive
The Recalcitrant
Self Always Satisfies!
Self Always Does Firm Discipline Wantonly Defy!

I Have Stepped Away From That Domain! 

I Am Eating Humble Pie ... Freely
So That Satan Can No Longer Deceive Me!

I Am Waiting On The Lord
Because I Desire To Walk With Him In Accord! 

I Hear That And I Concur! 

Left Unchecked ... Unattended
On The Great Day Of Small Things
Those Deceived Ones Will ... With Deep-Seated Regret
Bitterly, Bitterly, Cry!

Let Us Keep Trusting 
And
Waiting On Our Jesus
Our Savior, Lord And God! 
Waiting Is Not Not Doing Anything
And, For Sure
Trusting Jesus Christ Will Ensure That
None Of Us Is Ashamed!

Brethren,

I've Got A Text For Us To Prayerfully Consider
For This Week Ahead:


Proverbs 27:18 KJV – KJV Bible Verses



Do You Have 

Enough Faith In God ... Like Moses
To Wait 80 Years To Start Your Work For The Lord!?!
Enough Faith ... Like Abraham 
To Wait 25 Years To Get The Promised Heir!?! 

Enough Faith ... Like Noah 
To Believe The Dire Warnings Of God 
And 
To Build An Impossible Ark Of Safety 
And 
Preach The Same Message for 120 Years!?! 

Do You Have Enough Faith 
To Watch For The Lord's Coming
To Work To Tell Others The Good News 
And 
To Patiently Wait For His Coming 
When There Apparently Seems To Be A Delay!?! 

Will You Wait For Your Requested Blessing 
Even Though You "Know" Its Accomplishment 
Is 
Impossible!?! 

Beloved, 

Remember That He Who Asks You To Wait On Him 
Gives You A Share Of His Holy Faith To Use 
To Make Your Waiting Bearable! 

Please Use Your Faith To Wait On The Lord Christ
And 
Watch Your Faith Grow
And 
Soon You Shall See Your Faith Blessed 
And 
Your Heart's Request Realized
According To The Will Of The All-Knowing God
For Your Life!
What's For Your Good Will Accrue To The Lord's Glory! 

I Encourage Us All: Please Do Not Give Up!
We Are At The Border Of Present Blessing 
And 
Eternal Prosperity! 
Believe The Lord Jesus Christ:
Trust Him And Trust His Word!

The Promised Land 
Is 
Just Ahead 
So Be Wise! 
Watch, Pray, Work
And 
Patiently, Enduringly, Wait!

May The God Of All Grace
Bless You  And Keep You
And 
Help You To Remain Faithful
As You Humbly Wait Upon Him!
He Is Faithful!

AMEN!!!

ONLY ONE JESUS CHRIST: The Personal Savior!





You Have A Savior
- The Savior -
Who Is Your Best Friend
And
Your Personal Savior
And
Your Personal, Private, Guide 
To Almighty God's Eternal Life!
You Know, Life Without End!

Let No Thing
No Person
No Bad Habit
No Pet Sin
No Personal Demon
No Adversary Known
Get In Between Your Purchased Soul
And
Your Loving Savior!
Your Savior Is Here, Personally, For You!

Your Savior Loves You ... Sacrificially
And
It Is His Desire That You Trust Him
Because
You Believe His Love For You Is Really Real
And
You Love Him In Return
No Holding Back: He Gave His All
- His Very Life's Blood -
To Save You ... Personally!

I Understand What You Are Saying
But Why Do You Keep Stressing On The Word 
"Personally!?!"

Beloved,
I Do That So That You Will Understand That
The Relationship Is Intimate
Consensual
Committed
Spiritual ... Not Carnal!

When Your Master Is Your Savior
Your Creator, Lord
Your Best Friend
Your Provider
Your Sustainer
The Omnipotent, Omniscient
Omnipresent, Omnipathic
True And Living Holy, Eternal, One God
You Must ... You Will ... Realize It By Plain Evidence
- Never Force -
And
Accept The Plain Truth By Working Faith

For Love
And
Reach For The Extended Hand
That Shall Lead You ... By His Grace
Out Of The Degraded Life Of
The Spiritual Disgrace!

By Grace ... I Am Saved! 

We Will Stand Before The Lord ... Clean! 

I May Appear Before The Throne Of Grace ... Boldly!
By Faith, I Shall See Him Face To Face!
I Shall See Him As He Is
Just As He Sees Me!
It's Quite Amazing, Actually!

Almighty God 

Is 
The Consuming Fire To Those That Live For Sin
But
Because Of Our Faith, Love
Our Willing Obedience ...!


... Our Overcoming-Endurance ...!


... Our Steadfast Walking In Wisdom

And
Our Choosing Salvation Over Known Sin
At The Time Appointed Time 

We Shall Be Able To Approach Unto Him Physically
And 
Not Be Consumed!

Do You Realize That His Daily Gift Of Faith To You
To Me ... To Us
When Diligently Worn
And
Conscientiously Worked
Renders Us Fire-Proof!?! 


Twice!


What On Earth Are You Talking About!?!

Satan Has Fiery Darts
Usable Only In This Vale Of Tears!

All Of Satan's Darts Are Useable And Fiery!
He Uses Them Strategically!
He Desires To Cause Us To Forget That
Our God Is Able
So That We Will Bale Out On The Truth
That In Christ Jesus We May Trust
And
He Can Throw Us Under The Bus
Manufactured By His Base Lies
Wrapped In Shimmering Sable
And 
We Are Left At Sea
No Boat, No Bucket, No Submarine
Sold Out To Sin At The "I" Sale
And
Robbed Of The Blessed Opportunity
- If We Are Recalcitrant, Unrepentant -
Of Receiving Of The Eternal God
His Everlasting Life Seal! 

Trust In The Lord Forever:
In The Lord Is Everlasting Strength!
Be Wise: Walk, Work, Wait
And
Don't Indulge In Sinful Worry!

Watch, Brethren
And 
Be Instant, Be Constant, In Heartfelt Prayer! 


Jesus Christ Our Lord
Will Not Despise
A Broken And Contrite Heart:


Believe ... And Live!

The Great Expectation!

I Used To Hear My Granny Use An Expression
That I Thought Truly Amazing!
She Said:

I Shall Expect You

When I See You!


Bottom Line ...

The Appearing Will Not Cause Her Heart
To Start Phasing!

If One Is Expected
Whenever They Show Up
It Means
- It Must Mean -
That Someone Is Looking For
Looking Forward To
Is 
Always Prepared For
The Coming Person's Appearance
And
Their Appearance
- In The Unlikely Hour -
Will Never Put The Host
The Hostess
Into A Tizzy Of Horror!

I Know Where You're Going With That!

Where Am I Going, Pray Tell?!

You Are Desirous
That We Should Ever Be
In Expectation Of Our Coming King
Washed And Ready
And Ready To Commence The Joyous Singing
And Singing With Hearts Happy
- Which Happiness Knows No Bounds -
Because We
- Almighty God's Children Faithful -
Trusted The Living Word
And
Did Not Depart Unto Decked-Out Fables!

Point ... Made!

Yessss!!

Now Hear This ...

Children Of The Promise
Those Who Walk And Talk With God
Can Read The Signs Of The Times
Even As They Are Actively Aware Of 
The Weatherman's Chimes!

We Are As The Wise Virgins
Who
Even Though They Had Fallen Asleep
- Just As Had The Foolish -
Had Thought Ahead
Had Planned Ahead
Had Prepared Ahead
And
Had Oil In Reserve
So That Failing Light
- At The Midnight Cry -
Could Be Brightened
To Give The Bridegroom Clean And Clear Sight!

That's A Serious Matter!

That's A Serious Matter, Indeed!

Putting The Ducks In A Straight Row ...

In All Areas Of Endeavor
Preparation Is Key
And
All Who Will See Jesus Christ In Peace
Will Have Paid
The Always-Prepared Man's Fee!

Get To Studying, Brethren
And
Study To Show Thyself Approved!

Meeting The Peace Giver ...

Only Those Who Are Looking For Jesus
Will See
Jesus Christ In Peace
And
Only Those Who Love Him
And
Desire His Appearing
Will Expect Him
And
That Without Fearing!

"I Will Expect You When I See You!"
Can Be Construed Another Way
But
That Does Not Serve Our Purpose
Because
We Choose To Believe
That Jesus Is Going To Be Here
Any Day Now!

And How!

He Is Coming
Coming
Coming Soon, I Know
To Take His Children To The Land Of Light
And
Us ... Weary Pilgrims
Believing That Jesus Christ Saves
Shall Not
Fail Of Achieving Salvation
When The Lord Comes
On That Glorious Day!

The King Is Coming!
Are You Washed
And
Waiting Ready!?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONFLICTING PRIORITIES: Bent Conscience + PRAYER

Creeping Compromise
AND
Pressure To Conform
Are Adopted Children Of
Christian Living By-Faith!
They Are Really, Really, Really Bad Kids
AND
They Don't Care Who Know It!

Good Gracious!
How Did This Happen!

Very, Very, Very Slooooooooowly!

Why Did This Happen!?!

It Happened Because
Christian Living By-Faith
- Conscience Badly Bent -
Became Very, Very, Very Complacent
And Careless
And Ambivalent
And Gainsaying
And Greedy For Gain
And Anxious For Elevation
And Tired Of Waiting ...!

... Tired Of Waiting!?!
For Jesus!?!

Simply Put, Yes!

He Wanted The Wisdom
And The Power
And The Glory
And The Honor
And The Praise ...!

... You'd Better Stop!
You're Saying That He Wanted To Be God!

Pretty Much!

A Christian Wanting To Be God!?!

Another Lucifer In The Camp Of The Saints!

... Lord, Help Us!


How Does This Happen!?!

When A Christian Gets Complacent
About His Daily Prayers
And
Fixes His Focus
On What Brings Carnal Minds Cheer
He Forgets Who Is His Master
And
What His Mission Is
And
He Gets Himself All Tied Up In Getting Things
And
Causes Old Satan To Go Into Actionable Top Gear!

Complacent Christian Becomes Careless
- A Car Without Wheels -
And
Thinks Nothing Of Compromise
Because
His Eye Is On The Corporeal
And Not On The Heavenly Real
And
His Ears Tickle From Tasting
Tender Trite Bold And Base Lies
And
This Happens All Because 
He Is Into The ... I-Feels!

A Committed Christian
Is
A Christian Standing In Truth And On Fact
And
Not A Christian Devoted To Feeling
Because
When Feeling Is Foremost
Fact Suffers Lack
And
A Christian Suffering The Lack Of Facts
Is
A Weak Christian ... Primed 
For Satanic Attack!

A Weak Christian Under Satanic Attack
Indulges
In Ambivalence
Becoming Wishy-Washy 
And As Stable As A Wind-Blown Cloud
And
Subject To The Vagaries Of The Wind
By Which He Is Being Blown About!


The Ambivalent Christian
Then Indulges In Gainsaying
Challenging
The Very Word Of The Eternal Holy God
Not Fearful Of Chastisement
Willing Only Toward The Enticement
That Is The Trojan Horse Gift Of Satan
The Fallen Angel And God-Fraud!

Gainsaying Christian
Then Settles
For The Eyefull Of Current Time
And Foreswears The Bellyful
Promised
By The Lord God Holy Divine
And
Awaiting The Faithful
The Enduring
The Waiting Watching Working Saved
Who Shall Ascend To His Great Glory
And Live
Forever And Always!

With Gainsaying
Comes
Greed For Gain
And
Anxiety For Social Elevation
And
Soon
There Is Outright Rebellion
And
The Stated Tiredness Of Waiting On Jesus Christ
Our Savior, King And Lord
Who Ain't Never Coming Again
Because
He Has Heard That Jesus Was Coming
Since Adam Was A Lad
And
In His Illuminated Mind
He Is Now Become A Fable
A Bedtime Story
A Fad
And
He Is Truly Glad
That He Has Insight And Foresight
And
He Is Getting What's To Be Got
While The Getting Still Is 
The Thing Called Hot!

His Desire Is To Be Among The Have's
Not Among The Have-Nots!

Brethren, Beloved
Listen Closely Unto Me
Waiting On The Lord Is Not Doing Nothing!
It Is Doing Your Assigned Chore
With Humility
Dedication
Commitment To Task
Ignoring The Naysayers
And
Working The White Fields Vast!

He Who Is Cast Out
And Forever Broken
One Satan By Name
Is Uncaring Of Your Acquiring Worldly Gains
As Long As You Join Him 
In Unquenchable Flames!

All Who Are Greedy
Greedy For Gain
Are Pierced Through With Many Sorrows
And
End Their Lives In Abject Shame!

Please Do Not Be In A Hurry For Riches
For Mortal Man's Applause
For Profits' Chains
Because
In The Day Of Vengeance
Profit Is For Only Those Who
Sought The Elevation Of Jesus Christ The Lord
In The Hearts Of Those
Previously In Sin And Lost!
Please Count The Cost!

What Does It Profit A Man
If
He Shall Gain The Whole World
And
Lose His Own Soul!?!
What Will A Man Pay For To Save His Soul!?!

What Is Already Purchased
Cannot Be Bought Again
And
Specifically That Already Bought By
The Glorious King Of Love
The Lord Of Life!
In Him Is Our Only Means Of Survival
Of
The Earthly Strife!




What Jesus Christ Has For Us ... Is Free!
When Jesus Christ Sets Us Free We Are ... Indeed Free!
Heaven Awaits ... The Sin-Free!


Buy Lies
And
Walk To Hell For Free!

Creeping Comprise
And
Rush To Conformity
Are Shoes Best Left 
In Damnation's Free-For-All Store!

Don't Bite The Pretty Lure!
Don't Buy The Musical Lore!

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

PRAYER:

Father,
I Thank You
For Your Promise To Me
Of
Life Everlasting
Of
Peace Eternally!

I Bless You, Lord
For My Innumerable Blessings!
I Trust You For My Daily Care!
I Will To Follow Jesus Christ
My Only Savior
And
Wait On Him Faithfully
To Share His Riches
In Paradise!
In Mercy
Please Hasten
The Great Redemption Day!

Please Help Thou My Brethren
In Families Near And Far
And
Bless Them With All Blessing
So That They Will
Steadfastly Walk
To The Glorious Kingdom
Whose Gates, Beckoning
Now Widely Stand Ajar!

Please Hear My Heart's Plea
And
May Your Holy Spirit
Gently Guide Us
Into All Truth
And
The Holy Angels
Stand Perpetual Guard!

Remember Us All, Lord
According To Your Divine Will
And
In Your Holy Way
For
In Jesus Christ's Name
I Pray And Humbly Plead!
AMEN.
