HAPPY SABBATH + Damn The Devil!

Yesterday, I Learned
Men Can Really Behave As Fools
AND
Women Can Be Enormously Wicked!

AND

Women Talk Too Much

AND

Are Too Concerned With The Wrong Things

AND
Men Need To Stand Up For The Right

AND

Say "NO!"  To The Wrong

AND

Mean It!

The Adam And Eve Scenario Rides Again ... And Again!

The Truth Is ...

Having A Pocket Book
Does Not Make A Woman A Bank!
Having A Pen
Does Not Make A Man A Scribe!
Having A Heart
Does Not Make A Woman A Home

AND
Having A Heart
Should Never Force A Man
For A Woman's Maliciously Egregious Behavior 

To Atone!

Men Need To Learn That
If

Eating A Gourmet Catered Meal
Will 

Cost Your Life
It Is Time 

To Eat Dry Bread And Rancid Butter

AND

Live ... Free!

Women Need To Learn
That Modern Adam
- Just Like Adam Of Old Had -
Has
More Ribs To Spare
AND
The Creator God Still Has Creative Power
AND
Powerful Skills!

Almighty God
Does Not Like Ugly
Foolish
Wicked
Unkind
Hateful
Nor Evil Behavior!

AND

There Is Neither Fool
Foolish Heart
Nor Wicked Person
Nor Wicked Hand
Going Heaven
So Man And Woman
Wise Up!

An Ugly Mind In A Pretty Face
Does Not Make One Beautiful!

AND
A Foolish Heart In A Buff Body
Does Not Make One Smart!
Wise Up!

The Wisdom Of The Wise
Does Not Folly Disguise
AND

The Wiles Of The Wicked
Do Not Lead Supposed Saints

To Gloriously Heaven!

Remember These Things ...

• Adam Didn't Want To Lose Eve's Companionship So He Willfully Sinned To Keep It
• Solomon Loved Many Idolatrous Women Who Caused Him Against The Living God To Knowingly Sin
• Samson Knowingly Consorted With A Prostitute And Wittingly Gave Up His Blessing To Gain Supposed Peace From That Whining Idolatrous Woman
• King Herod Foolishly Promised And By Weakness Executed And Salvered John The Baptist's Head Because His Unmentionable Portion Was, By The Gyrations Of A Nubile Dancer, Inordinately Pleased

AND

If These Things
Do Not Teach Us Anything
Satan Will Continue Damnation's Song
- Enthusiastically - 

To Sing
Against Those Who Lust
AND
Indulge The Fleshy Fling!

We Should Be Aware By Now, That ...

Misery Likes Company!
Sin Hates Salvation!
Truth Always Survives Darkness!
Hate - Like Lies - Despises Light!

Men Need To Ever Speak 
AND
Stand In The Truth

For
They Are The Family Priests!
Women Need To Constantly Spread Heavenly Light

For
They Are Our Children's Teachers!

Man And Woman
- In Salubrious Combination -
Walking With The Lord
AND
Departing The Ways Of The Fraud
Are A Blessing
In The Society Of Man
AND THEY
Seeking Peace Through Faithfulness
AND
Doing Right
Having Their Steps Ordered
AND
Living Orderly In Christ For Christ's Sake
Shall 
At The Appointed Time
Live With The Lord Christ
In Eternal Peace In Paradise!

Brethren,

Let's Put Jesus First
AND
Take A Firm And Committed Step To The Christ
AND
Thereby

Damn The Devil
AND

His Demonic Devices!

A Spine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste!

NOW ... Is The Acceptable Time!

God Is Faithful!
Are You?

God Is Love!
Do You?

God Is Giving!
Won't You?

God Is Blessing?
Will You?

God Is Good!
Shouldn't You?

Almighty God Is ...

Worthy Of Our Praise!

Truthful To What He Says!
Wise: The Ancient Of Days
AND
There Is Nothing That We Can Do
That Will His Power
His Honor
His Glory
His Worship
Phase
Or Displace!

As His Children
Called Humbly By His Name
We Should Not That Name Profane
Neither Should We Indulge In Things That Bring Shame
By Participating In Satan's Soul-Corrupting Games!

The Holy God's Name Is His Character
His Clothing ... Like A Vest
Whereby He Is Known Of A Truth!
To This, The Believing Soul Can Attest
AND
Those Bearing His Name
Should In Verity Stand
IF
We Desire To Feast
AND
Live Forever
In The Heavenly Land!

Peace And Rest
Grace Aka Favor
Mercy And Provision

Forgiveness And Blessing
Known Salvation

Correction And Direction

Protection

AND

Walking Right Toward Perfection

Are Of Sweet Savor
To All Who Will Do The Will Of The Beloved
On The Straight And Narrow Way
While Faithfully Staying Occupied 

AND

Being Kind To Our Every Neighbor

Until Our Redeemer Shall Come!

Today Is The Start
Of The Rest Of Our Lives
AND
If We Have In Time Past

Walked Contrary To Truth
Because Of Satan's Bold Lies
NOW
Is The Acceptable Time
The Day Of Salvation
AND
We Should Repent Of The Past
AND
Our Lives On The Rock Of Refuge Cast
So That We May Be Broken
AND
Saved
When The Last Trumpet Shall Blast
AND
Time Is Forever Passed!

Be Not Proud ...

You Are Not Your Own!
Do Not Do A Lucifer
AND
Be By The Eternal God Cast Out
Never Able To Return To The Paradise Home!

Let Us:

• Humble Ourselves Before The Living God
• Listen To Truth 
• Do The Will Of The Father
• Walk In The Light Of Life

AND

In Humility ...

P  lead With The Lord
R  esist The Devil
A  ccept The Gospel Of Truth
Y  ield Our Will To The Sovereign Will Of Our Father

AND

We Shall Avoid Damnation's Impending
Fire And Brimstone Lake Disaster!

The Bottom Line ...

• Playing With Sin Will Temporarily Thrill You!
• Loving The Lord Christ Will Eternally Fill You! 
• Faith In The Living Promise Will Abidingly From Fear Still You! 
• Comeuppance For Sin Will Surely - With Base Finality - Bill You!

AND

• Ignoring Dismissing And Denigrating Soul-Saving Truth Will Second-Death Kill You!

Death To All Mankind Is DNA Encoded

- The Cost Of Living -
It Is The Curse

BUT
Second-Death Avoidance Is Personal Faith's Choice -
It Is The Reversing-The-Curse Blessing!

My Faith Is Built On Nothing Less

Than Jesus Christ

The God Of Righteousness

The Savior Dear

The Lord Of Life

Who 

By God's Grace

I Shall Not Deny!

PRAYER: Come, Holy Spirit!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Love Your Holy Word!

Please Grant Unto Me

The Attendant Wisdom

So That I

With Understanding

I Will Take The Knowledge Gained

To Do All According To Your Will

To Help Further The Work

That Blesses The Living Kingdom!

Please, Lord

I Am Inviting The Holy Spirit

Into My Heart

And

I Desire Your Assistance

To Help Me Declutter

To Cast Out That Which Does Not Edify

And

To Make Comfortable Room

For The Comforter To Work In!

I Submit My Will!

I Am Listening, Lord!

Please Help Me To Hear

That Still Small Voice Of God 

Who Will Teach Me

And

Lead Me Into All Righteousness

So That At The Dawning Of The Great Day

I Shall Be Forever Blessed!

Father,

I Am A Living Witness To 

And

A Grateful Recipient Of Your Grace

And

I Beseech You, Beloved Father

To Fix Me

So That I May Arrive Safely

To Reside In My Own

Christ-Prepared Place!

Please Remember My Brethren, Lord

Many Of Whom Are Struggling

To Get Out Of Darkness

And

To Get Into To Holy Light!

Protect Them And Keep Them In Your Care

Through The Struggle So Real

And

Bless Them, I Beseech You

So That They Do Not Turn Away

From The Path Of Truth

Because Of Satan-Inspired Opposition 

And

Known Ungodly Fear!

Please Help Us All, Lord

To Extend The Welcome Mat

With A Gracious Invitation

So That The Spirit Of Truth

Will Direct Us And Chide

Lead Us And Abide With Us

So That When The Day Of Vengeance Comes

We, Like True Sun Flowers

Will Turn Toward Son Of Righteousness

And

Not Run To The Rocks And Hills For Refuge!

Abide with Us, Lord! 

Help Us To Abide In You

For

You Are The God Holy

Faithful Kind

Blessing

Almighty

Saving

And

Ever True!

Please Hear Our Prayer

And

Grant Us Your Surpassing Peace

For We Ask All

In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Name!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, We Await The Consummation!

I'm Leaning On You, Lord

So That I Do Not Slide

Into Sin

With That Destroyer

And Thereby

Cause My Soul And Damnation 

To Collide!

I Believe Your Word, Father!

I Trust In The Efficacy Of The Blood

And

I Am Pleading For The Promised Salvation

That Is Lost

To Those Who Choose To Wallow

In Iniquity's Mire And Mud!

In You, Lord

I Have Peace And Rest

And

Mercy And Grace

The Known Perks Of The Blessed

And

I Desire To Live

In That Holy Land

And I Beseech You, My Father

Please Help Me In Your Truth

Ever Faithful

To Confidently Stand!

I See By Faith

That Has Pure Sight

So In Hope

I Look To The Light Of Life

The Lord Of Creation

And

I'm Begging, Lord

Begging

For Help

For My Self

My Family Friends

Community City

The Wide World!

Lord, Let The True Gospel Be Accepted

So That It Will Bless My Backsliding Nation

And Remove Them

From The Damned Goat Herd!

Father,

Fables Are The Thing Fabulous

And

Truth ... The Thing Disdained

When Truth Is The Thing Most Precious 

And

Should At All Costs Be Obtained!

Help Us!

Grant Unto Us Spiritual Hearing

That Will Indeed Bless

As With That Hearing

The Hearer Becomes A Doer

By Spiritual Discernment

And Is

By Your Holy Hand

Forever Blessed!

Help Us Not To Be Complacent

Believing The Lie

That Man Is Saved In Your Kingdom By Rote

When Truth Is

Citizenship Comes By Our Election

Our Choosing To Accept The Invitation

To Be There

Our Preparing For Salvation

The Ground That Is Our Heart

Our Trusting Our Instructor

Our Studying For The Exam

Our Doing The Will Of The Examiner

And

Walking In The Light

And

Away From The Dark

That Surely Our Spiritual Prosperity Blights!

Lord, Help Us To Get Our Garment

Our Character 

Ready

And

Help Us To Be Ready And On Time

For The Big Day Of Examination

Before The Lord Gracious

Holy

Divine!

Without You, Lord

We Have Nothing! 

With You, Lord

We Have All

That Amazing Acquisition

For Us Descendants 

Us, Repentant Children

Of Those Who Caused The Fall!

Let Your Grace Be Sufficient For Us!

Let Your Truth Be Our Bread!

Let Your Word Be Our Pillow!

Lord,

Please, In Your Gentle Hand

Hold Our Hearts And Our Heads!

We Do Not Know You As We Ought!

Lord,

Let That Condition Change Today!

Help Us To Approach Unto You

In Humility And Longing

As We Say Our Heartfelt, Pleading, Prayers!

Please Accept Us

In Our Sorrow For Known Sin

And

Correct Us To Walk Aright!

Please Bless Us And Protect!

Please Feed Us

Guide Us 

Lead Us

Help Us On Your Ever-Present Goodness

Daily

Moment By Moment

To Gladly Reflect Upon And Expect!

We Love You, Lord

And

Look To The Great Day Of Consolation

For That Blessed Consummation

When We Are Forever One!

We Ask These Few Blessings

In The Great Name Of The Holy Jesus

Our Savior, Lord And Expected King!

Please Come Soon! 

AMEN.

THE HOLY GRAIL: The Living Word!

The Word Of Almighty God
In The Hand Is Bread
In The Heart Is A Light
In The Mouth Is A Sword
In The Ear Is Truth
In The Eye Is Sight
Leading The Way
Through The Dark Night!

The Word Of Almighty God
Gives Faith
- To The Believer -
AND
That Faith Gives Courage
AND
That Courage Gives Strength
To Stand Against The False Report
Given By The Lying Spies
-  Hog-Tied To The Devil -
Who Love The Baleful Influence
Exerted Over The People
Travelling
To The Promised Land

Who
- By Feeding Doubt -
Trust Not The Word Of God
BUT
Trust Instead
The False Word Of Satan-Inspired
Willful
Disobedient Men!

Don't You Know That ...

Satan Is The Liar
AND
The Father Of Lies

AND
His Words Are Truth Reversed!?!
He Loves And Lives To Make The Lie
AND
Like Him
His Workers Are By The Eternal God Cursed!

The Truth Of Almighty God
IS
The Sharp Once-Swung Twice-Cutting Sword
AND
Body-Protecting Shield
Guiding Light
Healthful Bread
Thirst-Quenching Water
AND
Soul-Protecting Seal
AND
All Who Follow
With Conscience Yielded
AND
With Living Working Enduring Faith
Will Never
From The Promised Land Be Left Out
For Having Made Shipwreck Of Sure Salvation
Through Non-Working Faith!

My Brother!
My Sister!
You Who In Jesus Christ Believe
Let The Preserved Word Of God Be Your Fact Checker!
Check Out The Truth!
Don't Let Yourself By Popular Word Be Deceived!

Just Because The Important Folk Of The Hour
Are Sharing Out Free Baked Fish
Don't Be Greedy
AND
Just Cut And Swallow! 

Check The Good Book

For The Seasoning Ingredients
AND
If They're Not There
Cast Away That Fish
AND
Tell Your Brethren
Don't Buy!
Don't Bite!
Don't Swallow!

AND
Don't The Loud Rabble
Like Youth Callow
Follow!

Lies Cause
Doubt
Brings Fear
Carries
Unbelief
Which Leads To Sorrow And Death
AND
Never Blessings
The Believing Heart To Immeasurably Cheer!

A Little White Lie Is Black!
A Blackened Truth Is Never A Lie!
Truth Cannot Die
AND
The Lie
AND
The Liar
Cannot Forever Live!

Don't Believe Me?!

Ask The Twelve Hebrew Spies!
Ten Lied And Ten Died!
Two Spoke Truth And Two Prospered
AND
All Those Persons Who Believed
The Lie And The Liars
Wandered In The Desert
AND
Became Dust

For Other Men To Walk Over!

Do You Want To Know How To Detect A Lie
AND
Recognize The Liar?!
Immerse Yourself In The Plain
The Unspun
The Uncolored
The Unadulterated Truth Of
The Living God Who 

Is
The Sure Way
The Plain Truth
AND
The Holy Light
That Gives
Life!

If You Do

    When You Do

         As You

That Dragon
Satan

The Devil
That Piercing Serpent
Cannot
Your Soul Assail

AND
Of Achieving Heaven
At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Not Fail!

The Word

The Truth

Of

Almighty God

Is

The Hidden In Plain Sight

Holy Grail!

PRAYER: Lord, Feed Your Children ...!

Father,

You Are Love

And

You Have Promised

Never To Let Me Go

And, So

For Peace

And

Because Of Him Who Is My Peace

I Rest My Longing Soul In Thee!

Lord,

I Am Tired Of Sin

And

I Need Your Promised Rest

For, In You

My Soul Is Blessed!

I Am Hungry For You

For You Are Truth!

Please Feed Me

With Food Fit For Me!

I Have Been Walking As One Blind

And

I Need You, Lord

For You Are Light ... Guide Me!

As Goes All Mankind

And

By Your Appointing

- As The Curse For Sin -

I Am Slowly Dying

And

I Need You

For You Are Life!

Please Make Me Over

So That In The Fullness Of Time

Unto Everlasting Life

I May By Right In Christ Cross Over!

Lord, 

I Approach Unto You Boldly

- Nothing Wavering - 

Calling Upon The Merits Of The Holy Jesus

Who Took My Death

To Give Me His Life!

Please Accept The Innocent Blood

For

He Who Shed It

IS

The Beloved

The Only Begotten Son

Shiloh, Himself

The Prince Of Peace

The Shepherd Of Rest

In Whom This Believing Soul Is Blessed!

Father,

I Come For My Miracle!

I Am Expecting That Which Is Impossible

To Me And My Kind

And

I Expect It, Lord

Because You Are Almighty God

Faithful Forgiving

Blessing Correcting

Providing Guiding

Unchanging

And

Abiding!

You, Lord, Are My God

And

With A Humble Contrite

And

A Sorrowing-For-Sin Heart

I Seek To Touch The Divine

Who Has Everlasting Love

And

Great Compassion

For Wayward Wandering

Disobedient And Transgression Mankind!

Father,

Take Me By The Hand

And

Show Me Your Ways!

Take Me By My Heart

And

Teach Me The Truth!

Take Me By My Eyes

And

Pry Me Away From The Lusts

That Blind Me To Holy Light

And

Unstop My Itching Ears

And

Heal Them With The Balm Of Gilead!

Place My Feet, Lord

On Straight Paths, Narrow

And

Lead Me To The Green Pasture

Attended By Sweet Water

And

Anoint My Head With The Oil

That Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Fill My Cup Of Blessing

To Sure Overflowing!

My Mind, Lord 

Is Fixed

On That Place Called Glorious

Because

I Desire To Spend

The Never-Ending Day With You!

I Desire To See You As You Are

And

I Desire To Know You Just As You Know Me!

Until Then, Lord

Help Me To Keep The Song Of The Redeemed

In My Converted-To-Christ Heart! 

Help Me To Keep The Light Of The Glorious City

In My Healed Eyesight! 

Help Me To Hear

And

To Join In The Singing Of The Song Of Jubilee

Sung By The Hearts Of The Faithful

Those Blessed Of The Lord!

We Are The Children Believing!

Remember, Dear Father

The Other Children

In The Various Flocks 

Who Know The Voice Of Jesus Christ

And

Who Are Listening

For That Soft Voice

To Become The Loud Cry

Calling Them Out Of The Confusion

That Is Babylon!

Help Them To Deny The False Prophets

That Preach Lies!

Help Them The Evil One

To Forcefully Deny!

Please, Lord

Continue To Feed Your Children

With Food Suitable

For Their Ages And Stages

And

Ever For Their Spiritual Prosperity

And

Eternal Blessing

And

Let Not The Glitter And The Glamor Of

This Known Dying World

Ever To Us Be Anything But

Fleeting And Undesirable!

Please Let Hope

- Like Freedom In Christ - 

Be Our Song And Our Service

For

We Love You, Lord!

Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home

Even As I Ask These Few Blessings

In The Matchless Name Of

Jesus Christ The King!

Harken, Lord, And Do For Us

What Only The Holy God Can Do

For You Are The Living God

Eternal

Wise

True!

Come Soon!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: HEAVEN AWAITS THE FAITHFUL! (By Special Request)

Today Is Missing A Moment
The Moment I Would Spend With You
The Moment I Would Hear Your Voice
As I Would Spend Precious Time In The Lord With Just You!

I Feel You
And
I Think Of You, My Love
And
I Turn To Say Something To You
But ...
You're Not There!

I Stop ... Stunned
Angry ...
Sad ...
Realizing That 
There Is No More Looking Forward
To Tomorrows With You
And Wanting To Ask ... WHY!?!

But, THEN ... 

True To Our Shared Faith
In The Living God
I Remember That We Had
- I Still Have -
This Hope Within Our Hearts
That Jesus Is Real And Returning
And From The Vale Of Tears
We Shall One Glad Day
Forever Depart
And, So
I Stand Today
     In This Hour
         In This Moment
And I Say:

I Loved You - You Loved Me Back!

I Miss You - Cruel Death Attacked!

I Hope In The Lord Jesus

For

He Has Given

Sin Satan Death And Hell 

The Eternal Sack

AND

I Know We Shall See You

- Whole Healed Healthy -

When Heaven As The Scroll

Rolls Back

AND

I. Am. Blessed!

Beloved,
You Were Mine To Know
For A Short Time
As Man's Life Rolls
And Now
To Your Long Home
Your Mortal Coil Goes
BUT
To The Cinema Of Remembrance
Our Time Together Shall Go!
I Shall See You There!
How? When? Where? Why?
Who Knows?!
The Cinema Of Remembrance
Always Has A Picture Show!

I Shall See You In My Mind's Eye
AND
It Shall Be Enough
For
You Fell Asleep In The Lord Of Life
When You Ended Your Battle
In The Mortal Strife!

I Shall Cry!
We Shall All Cry For Your Felt Absence
BUT
We Shall Not Mourn As Heathens Do
For
Our Day Of Celebration
Is Fast Approaching
AND
We Know By Faith
That You Shall Be There
AND
Of That Knowledge We Have No Fear!

Sleep On, Well Beloved!
In Jesus Christ's Faith
We Shall Soldier On!
We Loved You
BUT
Almighty God Loves You Best!

Rest!

The Great And Glorious Day Approaches
When 
The Dew Of Eternal Life
Will 
Fall On The Faithful Of God
The Well And Truly Blessed!
Rest, Beloved!
Rest!
