VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Keep Close To The Lord Christ!

Worldly Wisdom Says:

 

"Keep Your Friends Close

And

Your Enemies Closer!" 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Our Forever Friend 

And

Satan

Is 

Our Forever Enemy! 

Jesus Christ Creates, Recreates

Saves, Redeems, Revives

Regenerates, Cleanses, Helps, Heals, Blesses

Uplifts And Elevates! 

Satan Deceives And Destroys! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Says: 

Draw Near To Me

And

I Will Draw Near To You 

And

Be Your Shepherd

Lord, God And Kind King

And

Lead You Gently Safely Home

To Life Everlasting! 

Satan The Damned Says: 

"You Are As God! 

Do What Feels Good! 

Do You! 

Rest When You're Dead!" 

Beloved, 

Worldly Wisdom 

Is 

Not Wise 

And Is Not

For Anyone Who Has Taken The Hand Of Jesus Christ 

And 

Is Living Under The Banner Of The Blessed Hope! 

The Way Of Our Forever Friend Does Not Include Self

Selfishness

Self-Serving Or Self-Aggrandizement! 

Please Stay Away From Satan

The Enemy Of Your Soul

The Accuser Of Our Brethren

Who Wants You To Be As He Is: 

Homeless, Stateless, Condemned 

And 

Damned! 

Satan Wants You Dead! 

Jesus Christ Purchased Everlasting Life For You 

With Everlasting Love! 

Stick Close To King Jesus 

And 

Live Forever! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAY AND STAND TALL: Almighty God Regards

When Your Fruits Hang Low
Someone Will Pick Them!
When Your Paling Is Tottering
Someone Will Give It A Kick!
When Your Name Is Being Lambasted
Someone Will Give It A Lick
And
You, Poor One Tormented
 Like An Activated Time-Bomb 

Offended
Shall Surely Start Aggressively To Tick!

But, Wait ...

Oh, Trembling Child Of Almighty God!
Oh, Willing Servant Of The Savior
Have You Forgotten That
The Lord Does Have Regard For
Your Helpless Estate!?! 

Have You Forgotten The Promise Given

By The Blood Of The Only One Innocent Shed

For You
For Me!?!

He Who Loves Sacrificially
Made, Makes ... Is Making
The Strait And Narrow Way Plain
Perfect
For Feet Shod By Salvation

To Deliver The Gospel Of Peace
Despite
The Tar Balls
The Terrors
The Threats
The Thunderings
The Torments
That Seem Never To Relent!

Believe!
Be Bold!
To Sin Turn Your Shoulder Cold
And
Rest
In Perfect Peace In Him Who Is Love

Who Eternally Lives
Him In Whose Grace You Grow
In Him Whose Mercy You Know
You May Stand Firmly

To Be Tried, Tested ... Perfected
Because
He Holds Your Heart
Your Head
Your Hand
Because

He Is Your Home!

Earthly Possessions Perish!
Palings Fall!
Fruit Trees Rot!
Dominions Get Decimated!
Principalities Fail!
Powers Bail Out While Serving Self, Satan, And Sin
But
Your Service To The Savior
The Lord Our God The King
Is 

Rewarded Via Salvation
With Redemption Guaranteed:

The Day Of Glorification 

Is 

Coming

And 

Is Even Now On The Wing 

So Do Not Let The Worldly "Wisdom" 

And 

The Ways

Of

Those Not Working With The Holy God

Rob You Of Your Possession

In The Palace Of The King

In The City Of The Eternal God!

Pray And Stand Tall ...

Almighty God Is Holding You:
Do Not Let Go Of The Hand Of The Living God! 

Faithful Obedience To Holy, Saving, Truth
Blesses

And 

Is Blessed ... In Due Season
By Eternal Life With Our God

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ...

Almighty God Makes Provision
For That Which He Prepares:

The Lord Jesus Christ ... For Your Soul

Does Personally Care:

Be Faithful!

Be Strong!

By Mercy And Grace Be Assured!

Sin Will Be Cured!

Victory In Christ Jesus

Shall Surely Be Yours!

Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus!

Rest Easy In The Lord:

You Are Blessed!

IT'S NOT A GAME: Cooperating With Almighty God

Almighty God
Has A Helping Hand
Upon The Planet Earth!
It, My Friend
Is 
The Hand Of Man ... Working
As Evidenced By Those Who Are Possessors Of
The New Birth Now
And
Shall Be Inheritors Of That That Is Called 
The Eternal Life On The New Earth!

Those Who Work Faithfully
In Cooperation With The Good King
Have Jesus Christ's Righteousness
Aka Right-Doing
Going Before Them
Working In Them
Caring For The Sick
Feeding The Poor
Succoring The Widow And The Orphan
And
They Do Not Consider It To Be A Chore!

The Obvious Outcome Of Partnering
With The Divine Majesty
Is 
Having Him Protecting Our Rear!
He Is Our Rereward
- He Covers Our Back -
And
It Is His Glory
That Shields Us During Satanic
Demonic Attacks!

Christ In Us
Is
Our Hope For Glory!
Let Us Let His Character Be Competently
Completely
Replicated In Us!
Let Us, In Him, Live The Life Of The Just!

The Faithful Few ...

We Are Not Ashamed To Be Called
The Holy Children Of God
And
We Have No Converse
With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness
And, As Such
- For This Against-The-Wise-World Departure -
We Land In The Crosshairs Of The Fraud!

But ... 

Our God ... Almighty
Is
Almighty God
The One To Whom We Give Glory, Laud And Honor
And
He, Being Faithful
Just, Loving, Kind And Ever True
Keeps His Holy Promise
And
Will Honor Our Faithfulness To Him:
That's The Truth!

The Deal ...

Cooperation With The Lord
Is 
A Contract Written In Innocent Red Blood
On A Parchment Of Character Clean, Bright And White
And
You Can Rest Assured That He Who Signs
Your Contract
Will From Your Attaining Unto His Salvation
Never, Never, Ever Turn Back!

It Won't Be Long ...

Be A Good Steward!
Please Bear The Weight Of The Work
As He Bears Your Weight
As He Graciously Carries You
And
Know Of A Surety
- No Doubting ... Nothing Wavering -
He Will Always Take Care Of You!

Spiritual Eyesight ...

The Eyes Of Faith 
Do Not Need Corrective Lenses
The Way To Eternal Life To See!
Let Not The "Yeah!" And "Nay!"
According To Worldly Wisdom Move You!
Let The "YEAH!" And "AMEN!" Of The Holy God
Move You Faithfully All Your Life Long!

Walk Faithfully ... In Perfect Accord

With The Living Holy God!

He Is To Trusted

Because

He Sacrificially Loves Us

And

He's Not The Fraud!
