VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Don't Be Blind To The Light Or Deaf To The Message!

 

Since Light, Physical Or Spiritual, Is There ... Is Here

To Show Us The Safe Way To Walk

Why Would We Choose To Be Blind To The Light 

And 

Prefer To Walk In Darkness That Leads To Death!?! 

Since The Lord Jesus Has Given Us His Living, Holy Word 

As A Message Of Salvation With Its Attending Call To Repentance

Why Would We Choose To Ignore, Reject, Reinterpret

Or 

Refuse That Message Which Is Truth That Saves!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Jesus 

Is 

Our Only Savior And Our Only Healer

And 

The Onus, Duty, Responsibility ... Burden ... Is Upon Us 

To Choose To Accept The Unspeakable Gift That 

Is 

Laid Out Before Us From The Hand Of Him Who Is Our Provider! 

Dear Ones, 

When The Lord Of Life Says To Do "It" 

Do It! 

When The Lord Of Love Says "Go!" 

Get To Stepping! 

When The Lord Calls Your Name

He Is Personally Calling You So Answer! 

Our Salvation Is Free And Available 

And

Our Healing Is Free And Efficacious! 

The Lord Is Not Deceitful 

And 

Neither Should We Be 

When We Accept His Healing And His Salvation

Nor When We Offer Up Our Praises For His Bountiful Blessings! 

The Lord Jesus, The Truth

Is 

Our Light And Our Salvation

And 

Our Only Way Home To Our Father's Home On High! 

Please, Beloved, Accept And Act On The Message

And 

Walk In The Living Light That Leads To Everlasting Life

And

Joyfully Praise Almighty God 

From Whom All Of Our Blessings Continually Flow! 

Peace! 

Praying ... In Love

My Heartfelt Prayer For Us All Today Is: 

Heavenly Father, 

Please Continue To Grant Us

Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith

To Help Us To Stand Rooted And Grounded In The Truth! 

Please Grant Us Strength To Walk Away

From Things Which Cannot Spiritually Profit Us

And

From People Who Curse The Name Of The Lord

And

Choose Not To Hear Of Or Know About Him

Or To Walk In His Ways! 

Please Grant Us The Needed Courage 

To Endure The Barbs And Reject The Dishonest Doings Of

Those Who Have Chosen To Walk In Darkness

Despising The Light That Leads To Eternal Life!

Oh, Father, 

Please Supply Us With The Love We Need To Have Hope

Because

We Have Chosen To Hope In The King Of Love

The Shepherd Who Leads Us To Eternal Rest! 

Please Help Us In Our Desire To Do All That You Ask Of Us

As We Willingly Choose To Do

What Is Good And Right And Holy! 

Finally, Dear Father,

Please Provide To Us, Out Of Your Riches In Glory

The Innumerable Blessings Needed

To Continually Pursue The Promise Of

A Place In Your House

In The Paradise Of God

Which Includes Immortality, Incorruptibility

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

And

Water From The River Of The Water Of Life

Which Flows By The Throne Of God! 

Thank You For The Unspeakable Gift! 

In Love, We Ask For All These Things 

And

Bless You

In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Great Name! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: OUTSIDE CEREMONY: Inside Tombs

In The Church Of The Living God

It Is Truly An Amazing Thing
To See The Pomp And Circumstance
Employed In Conducting
The Fast!
Problem Though
It All Leaves The Living God
In The Lurch!

We Worship
AND
Supposedly
Bow Down
Before The Holy God
BUT
Outward Ceremony
Is All That We Show
Displaying Not A Wit
To The World
That We 

In The Grace Of The Redeeming God
Do Daily Grow!

Think Pharisee!
Think Publican
AND
Think
Of Christ Jesus
AND
His Blessed Effect On
The Soul That Trusts
In His Mighty

Unchanging

Unfailing

Hand
AND
Decide
For Yourself
Where In Christ You DO Stand
AND
Ask God For The Outpouring Of His Spirit
So That You
- In This Time Of The End -
May
- By Unshakable Faith -
In The Coming King
Stand!

Do You Humble Your Heart
To God
Or
Are You Filled
With Bitterness

AND

Envy

AND
Indulging In Strife 

AND

Selfishness

AND
Displaying Self-Righteousness
As Your Putrid Birth-Right? 

Are You Holding The Chalice Of Malice?

Has Your Mind Become Calloused?

Is Your Head Bowed
In Pretended Humility
While Your Heart Is Beating
With Gross Covetousness

In An Inflated Chest
Full Of Inordinately High Self-Esteem
AND
Self-Importance
In Ravening Excess?

Is Your Displayed Spirit
Oppressive
Even Exacting
AND
Painful-To-Behold Proud
Performing The Part Of
The Child Of The Devil
Or
Are You Set Apart
- Sanctified-
Knowing Your Need
Justified By Jesus Christ
Pleading With God
To Lift You Up
As You In Godly Fear
Do Not To Heaven Look Up?

Are You Living To Rise Up?

Are You
Am I
Are We
Glorifying Self
Instead Of Patiently Waiting

AND
Working By Faith
For Love Of Our Lord
Or
Are We Rewarding
Awarding
SelfAND
Like-Minded Friends
AND
Puffed Up Pals
With Crystal Vases
AND
Fancy Plaques
Expensive Dinners
Leisure Cruises
Holy Land Tours
AND
Not For A Miaow-Moment
At The Holy Jesus
Looking Back?

Do We Truly Understand

That Only Those Who Glorify

The Lord Christ

Will Be The Ones Glorified 

By Christ The King

AND

To Him

Caught Up?

Are We Christians
True Christ Followers
Or
Are We Members Of The Mixed Multitude
Playing With God
AND
Pleading With The Devil

AND
Rendering The Almighty God As The Fraud
AND
Launching That Damned Devil
As The One Holy
High
AND
Lifted Up
AND
Celebrated
AND
Lauded
As ... The True Eternal Holy God?!
Perish The Thought

For

It Is With Damnation's Eternal Consequences 

Fraught!

There Is No Reason

For Us

To Foolishly Tempt God

And

To Walk In Darkness!

Jesus Christ Is Knocking - He Is The Light!

Open The Door!

Let Him Connect The Current

And

Holy Light Will Flood Your Being

Unto Its Very Core!
