Forgive Us, Lord, As We Forgive Others!?!






Everybody Loves The Lord's Prayer
And 
Blithely Repeat It 
Without Pausing To Think About The Words 

"Forgive Us ... As We Forgive ...!" 

We Love To Talk About 
"Do Fuh Do!" 
When We Are The Doer 
And 
Foolishly Forget That 
We Are In Debt To Almighty God
Because 
We Have Trespassed 
Aka Gone Where We Should Not 
Aka Committed Sin Against His Holiness! 

We, All, Are Treading On Dangerous Ground 
When We Pray For Forgiveness 
And
Walk Around Holding Grudges Against People
- Be They Friends, Family Or Foes - 
While Daringly Saying: 
"I Will Never Forgive Them!" 

Beloved, 

Are You The True And Living Holy God Of Grace And Mercy!?! 
Do You Hold Life And Eternity In Your Hand!?! 

If Your Answer Is 
"No!" 
I Beseech Us All To Back-Back To Go Forward! 

The Lord Jesus Christ
Immediately After Teaching His Disciples 
How To Pray 
Then Warned Them Graphically 
About The Content Of Their Prayers 
And 
Their Attitude! 
To Err Is Human: 
To Forgive Is Divine! 

We Who Desire The Lord's Forgiveness 
For Our Sins Against Him 
Must First
Forgive Those 
"Who Done Did Us Wrong!" 

Let Us, Therefore
Be Obedient So That 
We Shall Be Blessed Of Our God! 

By Faith
In Truth
For The Love Of God
Dare To Extend Your Hand In Fellowship
Even If It Figuratively Gets Chopped Off! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory 
Reads Hearts 
And
He Promises New Life And New Bodies! 
Do Right! 
Eternal Blessings Await The Obedient Enduring Faithful!


Peace
Is
Like The River Glorious!

Putrid Pride Perverts Good Character!







Are You Like The Pharisees Who Spoke And Fasted With Pride 
Or
Are You Like Christ Jesus Who Spoke Peace 
And 
Ate His Food With Humility
Willingly Choosing To Be With The Sinners Who Saw 
And 
Expressed Their Personal Need Of 
Their Personal Savior!?! 

Lest We Forget
The Lord Asks Us To Humble Ourselves 
Under His Mighty Hand 
And
In His Own Time He Will Lift Us Up! 

Pride ... Putrid Pride ...  Perverts Good Character
And 
We Ought To Constantly Remember That 
It Was Putrid Pride That 
Caused Satan's Fall From Saving Grace! 
We Should Never Forget That It Is False Pride That 
Causes Us To Elevate Our Sinful Self 
Before We Spectacularly Fall 
And 
Our Shame Is Exposed! 

We Have Nothing About Which To Practice Pride 
Save Jesus Christ The Lord ... Our Lord
So Let Us Be Wise And Consider, Understand
And 
Remember That 
The Only Thing That We Take From This World 
Is 
Our Name ... Our Character 
Good, Bad, Ugly Or Indifferent! 

Beloved, 

The Only Character That Will Enter Heaven 
Is 
The One That Is Totally Like Christ's 
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
By The Grace Of God 
And 
With An Obedient, Willing Spirit
Get Rid Of The Unholy Habits 
And 
Ugly, Offensive, Prideful Attitudes: 
Jesus Christ Cleans And Saves! 


Powerfully Pursue Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF: I Commend You To Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Thought I Was Doing The Lord A Favor
By Permitting Him To Bless Me!
I Said A Prayer According To Need, Want
Wish, Desire, Out Of Covetousness
Greed, Discontent And, Again, Need
And 
Waited For The Lord To Deliver For Me Right Away
Because
I Wanted What I Wanted When I Wanted It!
Truth Is
Of More Guts Than Sense, I Surely Had Me A Lot!

I Was Like A Pig On Speed In Slop! 
Feed My Need Was My Screed! 

I Mean, After All
He, The Lord, Owns The Cattle On A Thousand Hills!
He Says The Earth Is His!
He Says That He Is The Shepherd
And That I Should Not Want!
He Said That If He Were Hungry He Wouldn't Tell Me
So That Means He Doesn't Need Anything From Me, Personally
Because 
He Has Told Me To Ask Him For What I Want
And 
He Will Give It To Me Because ... As He Says
He Loves Me ... Sacrificially!

He Said To Trust Him
Because 
He Is My Refuge And Strength!
He Said Test Him Love
And 
See That He Will Do Abundantly More
Than I Can Think Or Ask For
So That's What I Did!

What I Did Not Do Very Often
Or, If At All, With Any Gratitude 
Was To Say:
"Thank You, Lord!
I Love You, Lord!
I Love Being In Your Presence, Lord!
Lord, Please Draw Me Nearer!
Lord, Please Draw Nigh!"

One Day, I Looked In My Big Mirror
And 
What Did I See!?!
Nothing But A Big Wriggly Blood-Sucking Leech!

I Had Religiously Taken 
My Access To The Lord Of Life For Granted!
I Took Sustenance But Gave None In Return
And Suddenly
I Realized An Uncomfortably Inconvenient Truth
That Made My Heart Lurch
And
My Life's Blood To Run Ice Cold:

If The Lord ... The King Of Love
Removed Me From The Source Of My Life
From My Prosperity In Him
I Shall Become ... Dust
Which ... With Even A Light Wind
Just Blows Away ... Away ... Away ...!

In Shame, 
I Turned To The Gift Given
The Blessed Gift Called Healing Prayer!
Comeuppance Led Me From Self
To Aggressively, Drastically, Turn Away!

I Heard
Give ... And It Will Come Back To You
Good Measure
Pressed Down
And Running Over!

I Heard
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!

I Understood
Everything That I Do For Christ Prospers
Because 
It Is Blessed!

I Finally Learnt That 
It Is More Blessed To Give Than To Receive
And
I Felt Relief
And
Experienced Release
Because
At Long Last I Knew ... I Know ... That
I Am Allowing The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Do A Good Work In Me
And
I Am Awaiting The Great Day When
The Lord Will Finish What He Has Started In Me!
I Am Blessed 
And 
I, At Long Last, Truly Know It! 

Brethren, Beloved,

I Serve The Risen Savior Who Provides For Me Every Day! 
No Matter My Position, I May Approach Unto Him By Prayer! 
He Encourages My Promotion To Hill Zion
The Blessed City Of The Eternal God 
And 
By The Protection Of The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength
He, Moment By Moment, Protects Me From The Wiles
Deceits And Gross Machinations Of Satan
The Devil
The Piercing Serpent
The Condemned And Damned God-Fraud! 

I Encourage You To Follow My Master, My Savior
My God, My Redeemer And My King
And 
You Shall Find Out For Yourself, My Dear One, That 
His Sacrificial Love For You Knows No End! 

I Commend You To Jesus Christ Our Lord 
Who Personally Loves You 
And 
Offers You The Position In His Heart 
Which Provides You Life ... Eternal Life
The Life Of Love And Peace That 
Has Nothing Called ... The End!

HAPPY SABBATH + Faith Must Work!










Are You Faithful Faithful!?! 

Is The Practicing Of Your Faithfulness 
The Direct Fruit Of Your Profession Of Your Faith In Jesus!?!
 
Are You Doing Right In The Light 
But Are Dirty In The Dark Night!?! 

Would You ... Could You ... Honestly Say That 
If You Joined The Underground Staff Tomorrow 
The Next Sound You Would Hear From The Lord Is: 
"Come Forth And Come Up Hither!?!"

Beloved, 

Faith Without Corresponding Works ... Actions
Is 
A Dead Faith! 
Faith Must Act! 

A Cheapened Faith Requires Nothing Of Its Owner 
Save The Payment Of Useless Words That 
Cannot Hold Up Under The Strain Of 
The Test Which We Must All Meet 
And 
Pass 
If 
We Are To Enter The Heavenly Promised Land! 

We Must Acquire Holy Characters 
Like That Of Our Dear Savior 
Who ... In The Midst Of His Stormy Time Of Testing 
Stood Firmly On The 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Let Us, Therefore, Remember Always That 
The Lord Is Faithful
The Gifts Given Are Good And Perfect 
And
The Promises Given Are Sure And Secure! 

Be Faithful, Not Fearful! 
Be Trusting And Truthful! 
Do Love And Walk Right 
And
Ever Remember That 
You Are A Child Of The Day And Not Of The Night! 

The Lord Equips His Called:  
Obey The Will
And
Humbly Answer The Call
And 
Do Not With Your Purchased And Sure Salvation 
Unwisely, Unwisely, Play! 
Let Your Faith Work As Faith Must! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Wherever The Good Lord Sends You
Rest Assured That He, Himself, Is With You!
Walk In Faith
And
Work With Endurance
As You Abide In Eternal Truth!


Peace With Prince Shiloh
Is
The Heavenly-Paradise Special!

OUT OF DARKNESS INTO LIGHT: The Lord Knows ...!






Beloved, 

It Will Do Us All Good To Remember Well This Text 
And 
Live Our Daily Lives In The Knowledge That 
Whatever We Do In The Darkness 
Shall Surely Come To Light! 

Mankind May Hide His Dark And Terrible Deeds 
From His Brethren
But 
They Can't Ever Be Hidden From The All-Seeing Eye Of 
The Ever-Present, All-Knowing, Eternal God! 

Adam And Eve Tried 
And 
Failed At Hiding From God: 
They Lost Their Paradise Home 
And 
We Are Still Suffering The Effects Of That Lost! 

Adam And Eve's Son, Cain 
Tried To Hide The Innocent Blood Of Abel
- His Righteous Brother -
But 
The Earth ... Holding No Secrets For Any Man
Revealed The Blood! 

Cain Lost His Home 
And 
The Hope Of Redemption 
Because 
He Chose Self Over His Savior: 
He Lost The War In The Battlefield Of The Mind! 

I Beseech Us All
Please Do Not Think That We Can 
Over-Power Sin And Satan
Outlast Time
Or
Outwit Almighty God

We Are Mere Men ... Mortal
Given To Malice And Misdeeds! 
God Is Mighty
And 
Merciful
And 
Means Exactly What He Says!

Let Us, Therefore
By Grace ... Through Our Gift Of Daily Faith 
Make Wrong Things Right 
So That In The Day Of Accounts
Our Record Of Sin Shall Say: 
"PAID IN FULL!" 

Let's Choose To Repent Now 
To Avoid The Rush To Regret Later! 
Dare To Do Right! 

Peace
Is
Presently Possible
With The Lord Our God
The Prince Of Peace
Prince Shiloh!

DON'T PREY: Pray!



 



Being A Committed Christian Is Hard 
But 
Also Quite Satisfying
Because 
We Walk Under The Banner Of The Prince Of Peace 
Who Gives Us Oh His Peace That 
Passes Human Understanding! 

Our God Does Not Sleep 
For He Walks Too And Fro Among His People 
Over Whom Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Keep Watch 
As They Protect Them From The Schemes Of The Devil! 
Fret Not Thyself Because Of The Evil-Doers! 

Our God Keeps Detailed Records 
And 
No Wrong Done Against The Lord's Faithful 
Shall Go Unpunished! 

Beloved,

Please Keep Your Eye On The Heavenly Prize! 
Keep Your Hand On The Gospel Plow! 
Keep A Song Of Zion In Your Heart 
And 
On Your Tongue 
And 
Let Your Life Read Like 
The Living Truth That You Treasure! 

Let's Ever Remember That 
There Is No Law Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit
The Very Spirit That Our Lord Manifested 
On His Earthly Sojourn! 

Please Let The Holy Spirit Teach, Guide 
And 
Comfort You On This Pilgrim Journey! 

Judgment Day 
Is 
Coming For All Unrepentant Evil-Doers 
So By Grace ... Through Faith
Please Make Sure That You Are Not Among Them! 
Choose To Speak Peace 
And
Committed To The Cause Of Christ
Confidently ... Diligently
Go Faithfully On Our God's Errands! 

Truth Wins! 
Don't Prey: Pray!

YOU OWN IT: Give The Lord Real Praise!






If We Look Closely
We See In This Text Ownership! 

Peace Belongs To The Lord: 
He Gives To Us A Gift Of His Peace! 
Praise Is Ours To Freely Gift To The Lord! 

Interesting Thing, Though
All That We Call Ours Comes To Us As Gifts From Our God 
So, In Truth And In Fact
What We Are Substantially Giving Back To Our Lord 
Is 
Gratitude! 

What The Lord Gives 
Is 
Given For Good! 
How We Choose To Use It ... By Our Free Will
Says An Awful Lot About What We Have Learned
- And Are Practicing - 
From This God Who Only Gives Good And Perfect Gifts 
To Bless Us! 

Giving Our God Praises Blesses Our God 
And
Blesses Us 
Because
By So Doing
We Are Rising Up Higher And Higher! 

Beloved, 

We Can't Fool The Lord! 

Feint, False, Praise 
Is 
An Abomination 
Because 
It Minimizes The Recipient 
And 
Brands Us As Deceitful 
And 
Untrustworthy
And 
Stagnant In Our Growing In Grace 
As Recipients Of Unmerited Favor! 

We Can't Earn The Lord's Favor 
And
We Can't Buy The Lord's Gifts 
And For Sure
We Can't Exchange The Lord's Good And Perfect Gifts 
To Receive Better From Another More Profitable Source! 
There Ain't None! 

Please Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Abundantly Lavish Praise Upon Our Lord And God
Savior, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend 
Like It Is Going Out Of Production 
And 
You Desire To Be The Last Giver Of Praise 
Left Standing At Power Down! 

Giving Praise To Our God Brings Peace!

Being Ashamed Of Sin Is A Good Thing!






Shame 
Is 
The Teacher Not To Be Ignored
Because
The Ability To Feel Shame
Is
A Gift Of The Eternal God Our Lord
To Cause Us To Walk In Repentance
And
Help Us To Confess And Make Wrong Things Right
So That We May Be Cleansed And Forgiven
For Sinning Against The Holy God! 

Shame 
Is 
Synonymous With Sin And Guilt 
And 
If We Refuse To Express Shame 
For Our Having Committed Known Sin
For Which We Are Known Guilty
We Make Our Maker, God, King 
And 
Judge 
A White-Mouthed Liar! 

We Then Become God 
Because 
We Have Determined That 
We Know More Than He Who Made Us!
We Did Not Make Ourselves! 

Beloved, 

The Living God In Glory
Through The Innocent Blood Jesus Christ 
- Shed For Us At Calvary -
Willingly Offers 
And 
Graciously Gives Of His Free Grace 
To Us Who Choose
- By Faith In The Eternal Word 
And
The Finished Work Of Jesus - 
To Experience ... Express
The Necessary Shame For Our Trespasses 
Against His Holiness! 

Let Us, Therefore, 
Cease From Our Arrogance 
And 
Humble Ourselves Before The Great God 
And 
Display Real Shame
True Sorrow
Biting Regret
And 
Heart-Felt Repentance 
For Crucifying Our Lord Christ
Time And Again! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Satan Refused 
To Feel Ashamed For His Known-Sinful Pride
Greed, Arrogance, Selfishness, Lies 
And
Treachery Against His Maker 
And
By So Doing
Sealed His Own Destruction 
And 
That Of The One-Third Of Heaven's Angels 
He Willfully, Maliciouslyly, Cruelly Deceived! 

Being Ashamed Of Sin 
Is 
A Very Good Thing: 
Let It Make You, Help You
And 
Guide You 
To Walk The Straight And Narrow Way To Heaven!
 

Sue For Peace
With
The Eternal God!

Choose The Good Part!






The Lord In Zion Does Not Sleep Nor Wear Dark Glasses: 
He Sees Us All Always! 

No Matter What Is Happening In Your Life
No Matter How Close To You Your Adversary Is
- Be It By Blood, Affection, Faith Or Affiliation -
Please Do Not Indulge In Their Tactics Aka Fighting Fire With Fire! 

Remember Always Whose Child You Are 
And 
Always Remember That The Weapons Of Our Warfare 
Against The Published And Private Agents Of Satan 
Are Spiritual ... Not Carnal
And
Choose To Fight Fire With The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail
 And
The Key In The Hand Of Faith ... Called Prayer
Which Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses 
Wherein Is The Abundance That Almighty God
- Through Jesus Christ Our Lord - 
Makes Available To His People 
By Request For Patience, Provision, Protection, Purity
And
Peace! 

Beloved, 

Satan Is The Condemned And Damned Liar
The Murderer Of Lives, Loves, Hopes And Dreams 
And 
All Who Walk In Charity With Him Doing His Dread Bidding
Shall Join Him 
In The One-Way, No-Escape Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Evil Does Not Go Unpunished 
No Matter Who Is Doing It
And 
Good Does Not Go Unrewarded
No Matter Who Is Performing It! 

Use Your Free Will
And
Your Right To Choose
To Always Choose The Good Part Of This Life
So That The Lord's Best Blessings
Will Fall Abundantly Upon You! 
Look Up To 
And
Embrace The Lord Of Light, Love, Grace And Glory: 
Walk In Wise Ways ... Not Damnable Folly!
There Is No Heavenly Profit For Sinning!


Trust The Lord Always
Because
He Is Our Refuge
And
Our Strength!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Pssst!?! You Are Being Tested!

 

 




There Is No Cheap, Sentimental
Frou-Frou Salvation For Christ's Followers 
In The Eternal Economy Of Almighty God 
So Anyone Who Believes That 
Trial, Test, And Tribulation Are For "Other People" 
Wheel And Come Again! 

Jesus Christ Was Severely Tested, Tried
And 
Tormented 
And 
All Who Call Him Lord 
Shall Be Tried Just As He Was! 

For Carnal Gold To Be Refined
The Dross, The Waste ... The Useless Stuff 
Is 
Purged Away 
And 
If We Are To Emerge As Gold
Fit For The Palace Of The King
We Must Be Tried! 

Beloved, 

What We Eat, We Speak 
And
What We Live, We Give 
And 
If We Desire To Meet Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace 
And 
Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Land 
To Enjoy Blessings That Never Cease
We Must Eat And Speak Truth 
And 
Live In And Give Love Of The Godly Sort To All People
Even The Unlovely In Spirit
The Unkind Actors
And 
Even Those Sorry Souls 
Who Test Our Resolve To Walk In The Truth Of God That 
Saves Our Souls! 

Please Remember That What The Lord Brings  Us To
He Will Carry Us Through 
If
We Remain Faithful ... And Endure! 

Be A "Fool" For Christ! 

Cry Out! 
Pray On 
And 
Walk Onward In Jesus Christ
- The Truth That Is God - 
Who Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You! 
Choose Life: 
All Tests Come To An End! 


Innocent Blood
Purchased
Your Perfect Peace:
Let No Created Being
Steal Your Joy In Christ Jesus!

HAPPY SABBATH + Scrubbing Brushes, Chisels, Hammers, Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper!





The Lord Our God 
Does Not Make Idle Promises About 
Neither Sin Nor Salvation
Blessing Nor Rebuke
Heaven Nor Hell
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Must Not Minimize Or Place A Gloss Over 
The Plain Word That 
Proceeds From The Mouth Of The Almighty God 
By Indulging Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Disobedience! 

Let's Consider A Baby! 

A Baby Knows The Voice
The Taste
The Touch
The Smell 
And 
The Rhythm Of The Heart Of Its Mother
And 
In The Chaos Of The Noisy World 
Or Its Own Household
Baby Will Seek For 
And 
Find Care, Comfort, Rest
Refreshing 
And 
Peace 
In Its Mother's Arms! 

So, With That Said
What's Our Problem!?! 

The Lord Our God 
Is 
Our Creator 
Aka Father And Mother 
Who Cannot Forget Us 
Because 
Of The Richness Of His Infinite Grace
And 
Eternal Love! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent, Precious, Blood 
Purchased Our Redemption 
And 
We Are Called To Saving Faith 
- By His Daily Gift To Each Of Us Of 
A Measure Of His Faith -
By The Plain Truth 
To Willingly, Eagerly, Wholly,  Trust 
The Holy God Of Grace 
To Get Us Safely Home To Unending Glory! 

This World 
Is Not 
Our Forever Home
And
Our Problems Are But Scrubbing Brushes
Chisels, Hammers
Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper:
We Must Be Clean And Righteous Before Our Lord ... The Judge!

Beloved, 

We Have Free Will And Free Choice
So Let Us ... As Children Of The Great King
Choose To Walk In Enduring Faith 
And 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
Do Not Deny His Personally-Shown
Perfect Love For You!

The Lord Cannot Forget
His Very Own
Greatly-Beloved Children!

Book-It ...
 
Walking In The Truth Brings Peace: 
Be Comforted In Christ Jesus
Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
Who Is Our Haven Of Rest!


Rejoice In The Lord ... Of Life!
