PRAYER: Lord, Help Me Not To Turn Aside ...!

Father,

Thank You For The Blessings

In The Here And Now!

Thank You For The Blessings

Great And Small

And

In The Great Day To Come

The Blessings Gloriously Eternal!

Father,

I Beseech You

With All That Is In Me

To Not Let Ingratitude

Impatience

Willful Ignorance

Idleness

Nor Leaning To The Impossible

Become A Part Of Me

Or My Outlook

Because

I Am Looking To

And Longing For The God Who Promised 

To Strengthen Me

To Lift Me Up

To Provide For Me

To Forgive Me

To Save My Soul From The Second Death

To Prepare For Me An Eternal Home

And

To Leave The Beautiful Land

And Come For Me

To Take Me There To Be With Him

Forever!

I Believe The Word, Lord!

Let Not My Faith Fail!

Let Not My Hope Be Crushed!

Let Not The Light Fail To Burn

Because I, Doubting

Become A Fool

And Forget To Put The Available Oil Of Truth
In My Lamp!

Let Your Word, Lord

- From Your Mighty Hand -

Be To Me As My Daily Bread

Needful

Necessary

Provided

And Desired!

Lord,

Help Me Not To Turn Aside

To Fables

To Doctrines Of Devils

And

Giving Heed To The Seducing Spirits

Who Are Even Now In This Hour 

Plying Their Death-Dealing Trade

And

Calling The Unwary People

To Sure Damnation!

Keep My Eyes Open And Healthy, Father!

Grant Unto Me Spiritual Eyes

And

A Heart Of Flesh

Suitable For The Residence Of The Loving King

And Also Make Me Pure

For I Desire To Reach The Golden Shore!

Lord,

Make Me Free - You Promised!

I Love You - I Am Blessed!

Lead Me - I Am Following!

Let Not The Doings Of The Damned

Cause Me Unprofitable Stress -

Give Unto Me Your Peace

That Man Cannot Understand!

You Are My God - I Worship You

And

I Give Unto You My Life

And My Prayers

And My Worship

Until The End Of My Days!

In Jesus' Holy Name I Stand, And Plead!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, Help Me To Run Life's Race For The Win!

Heavenly Father,

I Come As A Child

A Servant

A Willing Learner

A Follower Dedicated To Christ

A Soul Consecrated To The Eternal God

Indwelt By The Holy Spirit

And

Ever Watched Over

By God-Appointed Angels

And

Beseech You

In The Only Name That Matters

- Jesus Christ My Lord -

To Help Me To Let Go

- Willingly Let Go -

Of Those Things

Which I Cannot Keep

And

To Hold On

To Those Things Given By You

Which - If Enduringly Faithful -

I Cannot Lose!

Help Me, Lord

To Run The Race For Life

So That I May Behold My Jesus In Peace

And

Achieve The Laurel Of Glory

The Garment Of Righteousness

The Glorious Crown

The New Name In Glory

And

The Mansion Of The Blessed!

I Desire The Eternal Rest!

Do For Me, Lord

What Only The Holy God Can Do

Is My Heartfelt Plea!

AMEN.

Baleful Harvest vs. Sure Reward!

Conscience Talks
Performed The Wedding Ceremony
Between Bitter Utterance
AND
Humiliating Truth
AND

Of Their Union
They Begot Children Called
Great Remorse And Constant Recrimination
Mouthy Ventilation And Spiritually Vexed!

It All Started Out Quite Simply!
A Little Hiccup
Over Here Across There
Then
A Little Cough
"It Just A Lil' Sore Throat!"AND THENA Little Wipe At The Side Of The Mouth
You Know ...

Clean Yuh Come! Clean Yuh Shall Go!

Nobody Ain't Know That You Had With Sin Laid!

Tsk! Tsk ! Tsk ...

As The Old Bard Once Said:

What Must Must, Must Must

So  ...

YOU Plant What You Grow!

YOU Reap What You Sow!
AND
Don't Tell Nobody You Don't Know!
Look Out, Scout!
You're Lying Like A Cheap Rug
AND
Your Base Premium Fibers
Are Soon Going To Publicly Show!

Do Not For An Instant
Believe That
Wrongdoing Goes Unpunished!
Wrongdoing Covered Up
IS
On Your Account
Piling Up
AND
He Who Knows All
- Sees All -
Will Call You Out
- In His Time -
Even If No Man Finds You Out!
Look Out! Watch Out!

Is Must Be Said That ...

That One Known As Discovery Day
Is Publicly Called A Bastard
For
He Doesn't Fear
His Mouth To Wash Out!
He Has A Job To Do

AND

Does It Very Well
AND
For No Pay
No Matter What You Do
Say
Or Pray!

All That Was Hidden
Is Given An Exposé
For
What You Planted In Darkness
Is Reaped
In The Bright Light Of Day
Look! See!
A Baleful Bountiful Harvest!
Pay Day!

You May Say ...

But, I Apologized!

I Repented!
I've Been Forgiven!
I've Found Favor With The Lord!

I Say To You

AND
To Us All:

Forgiveness Of Sin

Is Not An Exemption

From

The Punishment For Sin!

Brethren,
Check Out King David

For A Witness

Because

Sin Has Painful Effects

AND

Always Pays Harsh Rewards:

What Had Steamed Up His Eyeballs
What Had Sweetened King David's Mouth
Also Bruised His Backside
Burned His Heart
Tore His Soul
Forced Him Out Of His Home

Forced Him Out Of His Kingdom
AND
Away From The Then-Visible
Evident Presence Of The Holy God 

AND
Brought A Nation To The Brink Of Ruin
By War
AND
Cost His Undisciplined
Well-Favored
Long-Haired
Favorite But Traitorous Son
His Life And His Soul!

Satan Knows That
The Man Woman
That He Can Get To Believe Personal 

AND

Fickle-Public Publicity
Is The Man Woman
Who Will Be Self Confident
Self Exalting
Self Satisfied
Self Dependent
AND
Will No Longer
- With Confidence -
Seek After The Holy God
For Their Needs!

Add Self Sufficiency ...

This Perfect Liar
Is
A Prostitute At The Core
AND
A Fiddler With A Mean Bow
That Gives The Deluded Person
The Pox
AND
A Life Sore!

A Life Sore Does Not Heal!
There Is No Cure For It!
It Is Ever Weeping
AND
Its Owner Would Love To Give It Away
BUT
Has No Choice
But To Live With It
Support It
AND

Keep It!
There Is No Adoring It!

Please Do Not Try To Cover Up 

Known And Wilful Sin!
You Are Waging War
With The Impossible

AND
You Bring God's Name
Into Disrepute
Strengthen Others The Truth To Refute
Raise Up Poisonous Snakes
In Your Own Household
AND
Weaken Your Own Hand
When You Think To Rebuke Others
For
On Your Own Conscience
Your Thought-Of Rebuke Stands
All Because Of A Little Cultivated Sin!

You Cannot Sin

UNLESS

You Yield To Temptation!

You Will Not Stand
So
Avoid The Problem
By Giving The Temptation
A Very Wide Berth!

Give To Jesus Your Hand

For
He Heals Man Of The Curse
AND

In So Doing
Soul Damnation
Will Never Be Your Hearse!

Please Do Not Run With Sin In Your Hand!
It Is A Sharp And Serrated Scissors

AND
If Your Heart Is Savaged By It

You Are Sure To Be Damned!

Please Endeavor To Walk Slowly 

In Child-Like Faithful Trust With The Lord
AND
Walk Boldly Holy Against The Fraud

For
Heaven At The Last
IS
The Sure Reward!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FACING LIFE: Lean On Jesus!

For All The Brethren

Facing ... Life's Storms!

Bow Your Head In Faith!
Say A Prayer With Hope!
With Our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ

Who Is Our Peace
We Shall Weather The Storm
For
His Word Stills The Winds
Calms The Seas
AND
Comforts Hearts Forlorn!

Yes! The Storm Is Raging!
Yes! The Day Seems Bleak!
Yes! Your Heart Is Troubled
BUT
Listen!
King Jesus Speaks:

Oh, Weary One

Cease Your Fretting!

I Created The Wind!

Oh, Fearful One

Cease Your Murmuring

I Gave You The Voice

With Which You're Speaking!

My Ways Are Not Your Ways

Neither Are Your Thoughts Mine!

I AM God!

Be It Storm Of Wind

Flood Fire

Test Tempest

I Made It All!

I AM God!

Trust Me!

The Battle Is Mine!

Hold On To Your Hope In Me!

Lean On My Love For You!

I AM The Lord!

You Get The Good!

I Get The Glory!

In Me Is Your Bliss!

Gold Is Tried In Fire!

Clay Must Be Molded To Shape!

Rocks Are Piled On Each Other 

Before A Sturdy Wall May Take Shape!

Cloth Must Be Cut To Make A Garment!

Beans Must Be Boiled To Make A Stew!

New Wine Must Be Poured In New Bottles

And For You To Live With Me

I Must Make You Anew!

Change Is Never Easy

Never Comfortable! 

A Shoe Will Pinch

Before It Wears Well! 

Sugar Salt Leavening

Must Be Used Judiciously

Or One Will Not Have

Good Eating Bread!

You Are Being Prepared

For Your New Life! 

These Things Are In My Counsel

I AM God!

Take Not The Shortcut To Glory

As The Devil

And Soon

You Shall See Your Great Reward!

By Faith

With Humility

See To Your Labors! 

Pray! Call On Me! 

I AM Here!

Trust Not Your Feelings

Your Eyes

Your Eyesight! 

Trust Me! 

I AM Your Light!

I Will Heal You Of Your Fears!

Cast Upon Me Your Cares!

Take My Peace!

I Give It!

It Passes Human Understanding!

Take My Hand!

Let Me Lead You Home!

Take Daily Grace

For Each Day's Journeying

And You Won't Have To Live

With Remorse

As You Through This Life Doth Course!

Mercy For You Is A Given!

Call On Me!

I AM With You All The Way!

You Are Not Alone!

I Give Unto You Of My Spirit!

Listen!

Heed The Teaching!

The Chastening!

Listen And Follow!

I AM Leading!

I Make For You The Sure Way!

Humble Yourself

Under My Hand!

I AM Mighty

And

Mighty To Save!

I Know All

Am In All

I See All

Believe In Me!

Heed The Salvation Call!

Walk By Faith! 

You May Stumble

But Trust In Me

For

I Shall Not Let You Fall!

Your Way To Eternal Life

Is Not A Smooth Walk

For, Beloved

You Are Climbing To Zion Hill!

You Need Foot Holds

Hand Holds

And

Clefts In The Rock For Shelter!

On A Smooth And Sheer Face

You Have Nothing

Upon Which Your Foot

Your Hand 

Your Body

To Place!

You Have The Choice!

Climb Rough With Me 

And

Enduring All

 Live

Or Try Ascending

By Walking Smooth With Sin

And Assuredly 

Fall!

Beloved,

Please See Yourself

As An Evergreen Tree

As A Deep-Rooting Desert Palm! 

Send Down Your Roots Into Me

The Living Giving Water

And Live

For

The Water Of Life

For Life

From Me

Is Flowing Free!

The Desert Wind

Blowing Sun-Heated Sand

May Sting You!

Scorpions In Your Roots

May Make A Nest!

Give Unto Me Your Vexations

And Soon

- Overcoming - 

Settled In Spirit

By My Grace

You Shall Rest

And By Me

You Shall Surely Be Blessed!

Take Heed!

The Angels Are Watching Over You!

Let Them Influence You 

For Your Eternal Good! 

Trust In The Lord!

Walk In Faith

With Your Heavenly Companions

And

You Shall Reach Home

The Haven Of Rest

Forever Blessed Of Your Lord!

Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!

Lean On Me!

I AM The Eternal!

The One Holy!

The Living God!

FOOL: Tool

What Is The Point Of Dying
Doing What Your Soul Loves
AND
Not Being With
Nor
Seeing In Peace
Him Who Loves Your Soul!

What Is The Point
Of Having Your Routine
Your Regimen Down Cold
- To Elite Perfection -
AND
Not Being Able
To Defend Yourself
For Your Known Sin
To The Creator Of Your Soul?

What Is The Point
Of Living In Sin
When You Can Be Saved From Sin
By The Savior Of Your Soul

If 

You Invite Him

Your Heart To Live In?

Why Sell Your Unsellable Sinful Soul
To A Bankrupt Death Merchant
When You Can Accept Forgiveness Of Sin
From The Redeemer 

Who Is Your Creator

AND

The One Who Made You A Living Soul?

Why Lose Your Soul's Salvation 

For A Sensation
When Sensation Will Soon Be Lost
BUT

Salvation 

Bought For You
On A Cruel Cross
Can Only Be Lost
When

By Your Own Hand
You Personally Cast It Away
With A Couldn't-Care Swift Toss?

Why Pay
For What Can't Be Purchased
AND
Owe
For What Can't Be Sold?!

So, So, Sooo Close!
You Just Lost Me Right There!!

You Can't Buy God's Gifts!

You Can't Owe For Gifts!

You Can't Pay For Forgiveness And Salvation!
You Can't Owe For Redemption And Heaven!

If You Can Trust From Aka Get Easy Credit
If You Can Owe Aka Promise To Pay
AND
Over Time Pay God
YOU, Yourself
Have No Need For The Sacrifice Of Christ! 

You Are Your Own Surety!

You Are Your Own Security!

However ...

You Can Buy Hell!
AND
You Can Sell Damnation
For
You Make Your Purchase Of Hell And Damnation
By Bartering
Selling
Giving Away
Your Right To Eternal Life
By Listening To Satan
AND
Utilizing All Called
The Satanic Device!

Can't Do That!
Won't Do That!
That Would Make Me A Fool
And To All Intents And Purposes
I Become An Unremunerated
Used-By-Satan
Condemned-By-God
Tool
And That My Brotha
Ain't No Where Near Cool!

All Right Then!

I Rest My Case!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Lord, The Lord!

AND

Do It All
Because Of Love
Because He Loved Me First
- Always And Best -
AND
Died To Save Me
AND
Has Gone To Prepare Me An Eternal Home
In The Glorious Kingdom Of The Blessed

AND

As My Personal High Priest

Is Interceding For Me!

It Is Too Much! I Said.

He Ever So Gently Said: There Is More.

Are You Real?!

Prove Me.

What If I Stumble?!

Call Out To Me.

What If I Die?!

Die In Me!
You'll Rise To And With Me!

How Long Before You Tire?!

My Love Is Not On Hire.

Can We Talk?!

Whatever Whenever Wherever
Just Because
In Communion - Total Union.

What Do You Get?!

Your Whole Heart
Your Soul To Control
Your Life.
I Love You To Death.

I Love You.

Take My Hand
Do Not Let Go
Stay Under My Shadow
We Are Going Home

Do Not Look Back
Look Up To Me
Do Not Worry
Do Not Fear

You Cannot Be Forsaken
I Am Your Creator
You Are Mine
My Forever Treasure

Walk In Accord With Me
And We Shall Be Together Forever.

Forever?!

For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity.

Take My Hand, Faithful God!
You're The Rock Of Ages!
In You, I'll Stand!
I Was Tired!
I Am Weak!
You Make Me Strong!
I Wandered The World

And Lived As A Disgrace!
But In This Day
I Behold Your Face

And Know
I Need You, Lord!
Help Me To Stand!
I Want To Go Home!

You Hear My Cry!
You Hear My Call!
You Hold My Hand!
Holding You ... I Cannot Fall
Here's My Hand
Trembling Small
Lord Of My Life
Please Lead Me Home!

The Way Is Hard
... And Easy, Too!
The Lord Loves Me!

The Lord Loves You!
The Adversary Of Souls
Cannot Separate Us!
No Power! No Want!
No Plan To Pervert
Will Prosper Against You
If The Lord You Don't Desert
So Close Earth's Eyes
Walk In Christ's Faith
He's Leading Me And You!

Hell Will Rage!
Damnation May Roar!
Minions Will Seek
To Get The Cheap Score
BUT STAND

Stand Firm In The Faith

For
Christ The Lord Is The King!

Live By Grace!
Mercy Is Free!
Truth Is Your Shield!
Peace Passes Understanding!

The Love Of God 

Is Your Weapon To Wield

So
Take The Hand
That Precious Hand

For
Christ Is Leading Us Home!
Safely ... HOME!

In The Service Of The Living God!

In The Service Of Love
- The Service Of God -
Is The Will To Please
By Serving God
According To His Requirements
AND
To Do It Willingly
Eagerly
Because We Return His Delightsome Love!

Doing The Will Of God
Is Not A Burden
To The One Who Trusts
Who Loves
Who Honors
Who Worships
Who Readily Obeys
Because The Pleasure Derived From 
Being In God's Service
Beautifully Lights Life's Oft' Dim Pathways!

There Is No Turning Away From Duty!
There Is No Stopping The Glorious Work To Laud Self!
There Is No Wondering Who Is Not Working
AND
There Is Wandering Around 
The Self-Serving Soul's Market Shelves!

The One Who Loves The Lord
Finds
That It Is Its Own Reward
AND
All Who Work Out Of Love
In The Service Of The Lord
Will Find That With Divinity
They Walk In Accord!

I Love The Lord!
I Think Of Him
AND
I Work For Him
AND
If With Endurance
I Stay The Course
In The Day Of Appointment
There Shall Be No Finding Of Spiritual Adultery
AND OBVIOUSLY
No Eternal Separation 

By The Condemnatory Divorce!

Let Us Willingly Obey
The Lord's Commands
As
In His Service
We Faithfully Stand!

Lord Almighty,

We're Yours To Command!

In Jesus' Name

Keep Us Faithful!

AMEN.

CREATED BEINGS: If Greedy Waits ...!

Satan Is The Liar!
His Hands Are Never Clean!
His Intentions To Man Are Cruelly Vile
AND
His Prized Methods Are Truly Obscene!

Do Not The Part Of a Satan Act
Challenging God For Supremacy
For
You Are A Created Being, My Friend
AND
Without The Creator God Holding Your Dusty Hand
Your Beginning
IS
Your End!

Nothing In This Life
Is As It Appears
So

Do Not Name Your Eyes
Your Traffic Director!
Be Pleased To Take The Living God
As Your Sole Portion
AND
You Will Not Have The Lake Of Fire
For Your Blue Sea
Nor Your Vast Ocean!

If Greedy Waits

Hot Will Cool! 

If Lust Is Cooled

Common Sense Will Rule! 

The Lord Christ Is King
AND
The Giver Of All Good Things
So

Be Pleased To Honor Him
AND
You Will With The Hosts Of Heaven
Before His Throne Of Glory
Glorified
Immortalized

Joyously

Joyfully

Thankfully
Eternally
Sing!

We Have Options!

Bend ... Freely

OR

Break Forcibly!

Either Position Taken

Mankind Will Give God

His Glory!
