REST: Under His Wings!



 


Think About It ... 

We Have Choices To Make 
And
Chances To Make Choices ... Good Or Bad! 

We, Each, Have The Choice To Look Around 
And 
Be Distressed By What Is Going Around Us 
Or To Look Inward 
And 
Be Completely Depressed About Our Soul's Estate 
Or To Look Up To Christ Jesus 
And
Cast Our Every Care
- Inward And Outward -
Upon Him Who Is The Great And Able Burden-Bearer
And 
Be Entirely At Rest 
Experiencing His Perfect Peace! 

You May Well Say ...


"That's Too Simple, Too Easy! 
It Can't, Won't, Shouldn't Work!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Because It Is Too Easy 
And 
Shouldn't Work That 
It Does Work! 

He Who Prescribes This Method 
Is 
The Very One Who Makes It Possible To Work 
By Giving Unto Us Faith To Trust Him 
To Work Things Out ... For Our Best Good! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

When You Give Your Burden To The Lord Christ
Let It Go Completely 
And
Leave It In His Holy Hands! 

The Lord Desires Our Bold
Willing
Unerring Trust In Him! 


Please Dare To Trust The Lord To Take Care Of You 
Because 
It Is He, Alone, Who Makes All Wrong Things Right
Turns Darkness To Light 
And
Makes Beauty Out Of Ashes! 

Only The Creator God Can Make The Impossible Happen! 
Make Your Peace With The God Holy
Lean On The Everlasting Arms
And
Shelter In Our Abiding Place 
Under His Wings!

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!

HAPPY SABBATH + Covetous Or Contented!?!









We, Each, Have The Opportunity 
To Fill The Garden Of Our Mind With Goodness 
Or With Gripes And Griefs! 

We May Choose To Be Disinterested In The Things Of God 
And 
Also Totally Ungrateful For The Myriad Blessings That 
We Continually Receive 
Or We May Be Thankful For Grace 
And
Grateful That There Is Glory To Share ... To Come! 

We May Covet The Blessings Which Others Receive 
And
Despise The Great Gifts That The Good Lord Bestows Upon Us 
Or We May Boisterously Bless God 
And 
Grow Up Gracefully! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Who Bids Us To Faithfully Serve Him 
Provides For And Protects Us
Comforts And Corrects Us
And
Teaches And Tests Us
But 
He Never Tempts Us!

Our Dear Lord Leads And Loves Us
But
He Never Lures Us Into Folly 
Or Lulls Us Into A False Sense Of Security: 
We Can Openly Trust His Kind And Giving Heart! 

It's A Fact ... 

We Have No Viable Reason 
To Doubt The Pure And Holy Love Of The Lord Christ
So Dare To Remember Where He Has Brought You From 
And
Never Forget What He Has Done
Is Doing 
And
Will Do For You ... Personally! 

Choices, Chances, Changes ...

Dare To Dig Up The Plantings Of Gripes And Griefs 
And 
Dare To Plant Love, Joy, Hope
Faith, Purity, Peace
Temperance
And 
Goodness! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

We Eat What We Grow 
And 
We Are What We Eat! 

Do You Know What's Eating You!?! 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation:
Choose To Grow Only What 
Is 
Everlastingly Beneficial! 
Peace Be Unto You!

Liars Are Abomination To God!







A Liar 
Is 
A Covetous False-Oath-Taking Thieving Murdering False God! 

We May Hide Our Valuables From A Common Thief 
But
From A Liar
Only The Living God Can Save Us! 

The Prideful Covetous Liar ... Lucifer
Started War In Heaven! 

The Covetous, Vengeful, Hate-Filled Liar ... Satan
Brought Death To The Human Race! 

The Irredeemable, Condemned, Adversary Of Souls
The Father Of Lies Aka Satan The Damned
Caused Jesus Christ's Death On Calvary 
In The Hope Of Destroying All Of Mankind 
By Destroying Our Only Hope Of Redemption
Of Returning To Our Heavenly Father's House Of Hope, Help And Healing 
Where We ... Made Whole ... Shall Utter "Hallelujah!" 
As Our Greatest Praise! 

Beloved, Be Warned! 

No Liar
No One Who Loves Manufacturing 
And 
Selling Aka Broadcasting Lies
Has Any Portion In The Kingdom Of God! 

Tread Softly
And 
Walk In Wise Ways
And
Do Not With Presumption 
Tell Yourself That 
You Only Tell "White" Lies 
Or Lies To Save Yourself From Bodily Harm! 

If You Are Doing This
Heads Up:

You're A Liar 
And
You Are Harming Your Own Soul 
And 
Doing It Wittingly ... With Knowledge: Stop It! 

Lies Always Dig A Cheap, Shallow, Foundation 
And 
Construct A Wide, Tall And Showy Palace 
Which Always Spectacularly Falls! 

Know The Truth ... 

We Are Blessed Of The Eternal God Who Freely Gives Grace ... Ever Sufficient For Our Needs
And
By Innocent Blood
Promises Surpassing Glory! 

So Dare To Claim The Promise
And
Dare To Be Bold By Faith
And
Dare To Wrap Yourself In Saving Truth 
And 
Never, Ever, Worry About The Disintegrating Tissue Of Lies: 
Liars Die! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Choose To Live By, For 
And 
In Truth That 
Is 
Eternal
And
Be Eternally Blessed!
Peace With The Everlasting Father
Is
Promised ... And Assured!

You Are Not Your Own!






See!
It Is In Black And White: 
We Are Not Our Own! 

Every One Of Us ... Born Of A Woman 
Must ... At The Appointed Time
Give An Accounting Unto The Eternal God 
Before Jesus Christ The Lord
The King
The Judge! 

Beloved, 

We Have Free-Will 
And
The Freedom To Choose 
How To Live Our Own Lives! 

We May Do Whatever We Want To Do 
But
We Have No Say In How Long We May Do It! 

Jesus Christ Has Asked Us To Choose To Serve Him 
And
He Has Given Unto Us Clear Information 
Telling Us Why It Is To Our Eternal Profit 
To Follow, Serve, Worship, Pray To 
And 
Praise And Love Him! 

Our Dear Savior Has Also Plainly Explained To Us 
Why It Is Not To Our Benefit To Not Serve Him 

But

He Has Left The Decision-Making In Our Hands! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous ... Our Redeemer ... Our Friend
Will Never Force Us To Serve Him 
And
Nobody ... Human Or Malevolent Spirit
Can Force Us To Not Worship Him! 

Be Wise ... 

Anything That We Choose To Do
And 
Actively Do ... Good Or Bad
Is 
Our Own Decision 
So Never Let It Be Said That:


"The Devil Made Me Do It!" 

Or 

"Almighty God
Could Have ... Should Have
Stopped Me From Doing That!" 

Face Facts ...

It Is Your Life To Live
And 
It Is Your Choice As To How To Live Your Life
And
It Is Your Own Personal Decision
On Where Is To Be Your Preferred Final Destination! 

The Choices Are Clear So Please Choose Wisely: 
Destination-Wail In Hell 
Or 
Destination-Rejoice In Heaven!
No One Will Make Your Decision For You! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Cooperate With Christ
And
Choose Eternal Life With Christ 
And 
Be Ever Blessed!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Were Not Bought Back From Death
With Either Silver Or Gold
But
With The Innocent Blood Of Jesus Christ
The Lamb Of God
- The Joy And The Hope Of Every Man, Woman And Child -
Who Infinitely Loves Your Personally ... Intimately!

WINDS OF CHANGE: How Firm Is Your Foundation!?!








If You Do Not Have An Anchor For Your Soul
- A Firm Foundation For Your Faith - 
Know Of A Surety That You Cannot Rest
Be At Rest 
Or Rest Easy! 

Think About It ... 

You're In The Stormy Sea Aka Living Your Life 
And 
The Winds Of Change 
- Pushing Every Man-Made Doctrine - 
Are Blowing Some'hing Fierce! 

Your Stomach Is In Your Throat! 
Your Head Is In One Hand! 
Your Ears Are Ringing! 
Your Thoughts Are In A Whirl! 
Your Legs Are Like Jelly! 
Your Feet Are Slipping 
And
Your Empty Hand Can't Find Anything Solid To Hold On To! 

You've Been Dialling The Fleeting-Things Number For Prayer: 
The Line Is Dead 
And
Your Tricked-Out Sea-Faring Conveyance 
Is 
Going Left, Right, Up, Down And Sideways 
But
Not Where You Want To Go! 

Suddenly ... In A Moment Of True Clarity
You Cry Out: 
"Lord Jesus, Please Save Me Now!" 

Beloved, 

Our Anchor Holds Safely In Jesus Christ 
Who Is The Truth
And
Our Safe Harbor ... The Rock Of Ages! 

Times, Attitudes, Desires 
And 
Needs Change 
But
The Word Of God ... The Light Of Life
Stands Forever! 

Brethren, Beloved

I Beseech Us All To Dare To Know 
And
Faithfully Trust Him Who Knows You Intimately
And
Loves You Better Than You Know And Love Yourself 
And
Knows Your End From Your Beginning 
And
All Points In Between! 

You Are Not Your Own
And
You Are Not Alone!

Build On The Rock!

Do Not Do What Lucifer Did!







We Are Not Animals Who Live By Instinct 
Ever Ready To Turn On A Dime 
And 
Attack Others On The Least Provocation! 

We Are Human ... Thinking, Reasoning ... Beings 
Created In The Image Of The Holy God 
And 
Made After His Likeness! 

Beloved, 

We Were Not Created To Ever Know Evil 
But
Here We Are! 

We Were Not Created To Tell Lies
Indulge In Deceit
Hurt Others For Fun And Self-Gratification
Cheat, Steal
Bear False-Witness
Covet
Commit Murder
Worship According To Our Feelings
Dishonor Our Parents
Set Up Idols
Denigrate The Living God 
Or Experience Death 
But
Here We Are! 

Our Lord Christ Has Invited Us
- With A Can't-Be-Canceled Invitation -
To Come And Reason With Him
Petition Him
And
Talk With Him 
At The Throne Of Grace ... Of Unmerited Favor
So That We May Be Taught Of The Almighty God 
To Know, Understand, Accept 
And
Do What Is Good And Right 
And 
Confers Upon Us The Eternal Blessing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Do What Lucifer Did 
And 
Set Up Your Own Kingdom 
In Opposition To The Living God In Your Mind! 

If You Do This Base Thing
You Will Reap What Lucifer-Satan Reaped
Is 
Reaping 
And 
Will Reap ... Eternal Death! 

Let's Learn From Others' Mistakes 
Without Having To Endure Their Experiences
In Our Own Flesh
In Order To "Understand!" 

Be Wise, Brethren
Unto Your Own Soul's Sure 
And 
Secure Salvation:
Time Is Getting Shorter!



The Savior
- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
Is
Waiting To Enter Your Heart:
Let Him In!

Ebenezer








When We Look At What Is Happening In Other People's Lives 
And
When We Observe The Hash, The Mess, That 
Some People Are Making Of Their Own Lives
We Would All Do Well To Humbly Say: 

"There ... But For The Grace
Of 
The Living God
I Go!" 


It Is Quite Easy For Us To Go "Tsk, Tsk!" 
And 
Be All High-Minded 
And 
Top-Lofty 
When We Are Looking Down On Others 
But
We Need To Seriously, Thankfully, Consider 
And
Be Grateful For Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who Is Looking Down Upon Us All ... In Love ... All Of The Time! 

Beloved, 

A Saint Of God And Christ
Is 
A Reforming Sinner 
Walking As One Being Sanctified ... Set Apart
Rising Up Higher And Higher 
As He Or She
Is 
Headed Toward Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Let Us All Remember That 
The Journey Is Not For The Swift
The Battle Is Not To The Strong
And 
The Crown Is Not For The Worldly-Wise And Wealthy: 
Life Eternal 
Is 
For The Over-Comer
The Saint Whose Life 
Is 
Lived By, For, And In Jesus Christ! 

Let Us Not Be Proud And Arrogant: 
Be Humble And Wise! 
Let Us Humble Ourselves Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
So That He Will Lift Us Up ... At The Appointed Time! 

Let Us, By Almighty God's Great Grace
Give A Helping Hand To Others 
Even As The Hand Of God 
Is 
Moment By Moment Helping Us! 

We Have Hope, Help, Health, Healing 
And 
A Home In Heaven 
In Him Who Hears And Cares For Us: 
Let Us Pray And Plead
And
Hear And Obey
And
Endure All Things For Christ Jesus ... Until The End 
As We Believe In The Promises That Cannot Fail! 
Let Us Walk In His Light ... The Light Of Life
As He Leads Us To The Land Of No Night! 



Peace Be Upon You
As You Rest In Christ Jesus!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You-Juice OR True-Juice!?!




 


We Consider Ourselves Capable To Take Care Of Ourselves 
And
Naively Forget That There Is A "But!" 

As Thus Says The Word Of The Living God
We Are Mortal
Made A Little Lower Than The Angels 
And, Therefore
We Have Limitations! 

We Forget That We Are Sinners By Nature 
And, Therefore
Have Spiritual, Physical And Emotional Needs 

And

Because Of Sin
And 
Our Need For Christ's Purchased-For-Us Salvation
We Need To Be Constantly Vigilant 
As Regards Our Surroundings 
And
About Whom We Permit To Be A Part Of Our Circle! 

Beloved, 

Never Forget That 
Jesus Christ Had A Judas In His Circle! 

Also, Please Remember That 
Our Greatest Enemy 
Is 
The Enemy ... Within! 

Self 
Is 
Always A Sinner
And
Self Will Never Be Humble, Faithful, Just
Loving, Kind 
Or True ... To You! 

Self 
Is 
An Agent Of Satan 

And

A Cultivated, Nurtured, Well-Fed Self 
Is
Always Going To Destroy Its Host 
Aka You, Me, We ... Who Refuse To Permit The Savior
- By The Holy Spirit's Working - 
To Renew, Reform
And 
Regenerate Us In His Image
In His Likeness! 

Invite Jesus Christ In
And
Get Rid Of Self
Get Rid Of Sin
And
Be Rid Of Satan!

Self Is You-Juice! 
Salvation Is True-Juice! 

Self Is Death: 
Salvation Is Life! 
Choose Life! 

The Promised Peace of God
Is
Perfect!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Gift Of An Expected End!


 








For Every Good Gift That The Good Lord Gives To Us
Satan The Damned Has A Counterfeit! 

Beloved, 

We Must Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life To Be Safe!
Pride 
Is 
A Counterfeit! 

We Cannot Afford The Luxury Of Pride 
And
If We Do Not Reject It In Ourselves 
And
Recognize It In Others 
To Avoid Its Ever-Reaching Tentacles
We Will Find Ourselves In The No-Return-From Pit! 

Humility In Christians 
Should Not Be Of The Faux Persuasion 
But 
Should Be Our Staple
Our Standard
Our Way Of Life 
And
We Should Never Be In The Family-Business Of Satan 
Taking Pleasure In Condemning Others 
And 
Castigating Them 
Or Denouncing Them For Partaking In
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Proud Humility 
And 
Humble Pride Are Twins: 
Disown Them! 

The Lord ... In Mercy ... Is Clear: 
He Makes And Knows 
And 
Guides Our Way ... The Way To Life ... Plainly 
Because 
He Is Guaranteeing Us The End That 
He Is Providing To Us 
Because Of 
Christ's Sacrifice For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Those Who Cannot Give You A Biscuit 
To Take Bread ... The Bread Of Life
- The Life Of Christ The King Of Glory - 
From Your Head, Heart Or Hand! 

Be Wise And Know ... 

Satan's Gifts Are Rentals
But
Almighty God's Gifts To Us ... We Own! 


Be Fulfilled ...

Please Choose The Humble, Holy, Life Of Christ
And
Expect To Joyfully Enjoy
The Eternal God's Gift To Us Of An Expected End:
Everlasting Peace
Everlasting Joy
Everlasting Life ... At Home ... In The Father's House
With Jesus Christ Our Creator
Savior
Redeemer
Recreator
Lord, God 
And 
Kind King
Giver Of All Good And Perfect Gifts!

The Everlasting Portion!






What Our Eyes See, Our Heart Wants! 
If We Longingly Look At The Things Of The World
We Will Desire Those Things! 

When We Lovingly Look Fixedly Upon The Lord Christ 
And
By Faith View Heavenly Things Constantly
We Shall Truly Long For Christ 
And
Desire To Behold Him In His Glory ... In Our Flesh
With Our Own Eyes And Not The Eyes Of Another! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Must Become Everything To Us 
Or Else Our Loyalty ... Divided Between Here And Heaven 
Will Most Assuredly Cause Us To Lose Out 
On Receiving Our Everlasting Portion 
And 
To Take Personal Possession Of Our Land Lot 
Granted To Us By Right For Loving Our Jesus 
And
Having Overcome Sin! 

No Other Human Is You! 
No Other Human Can Love The Lord Christ As You Do: 
You Are Unique, Special! 
No Other Human May Overcome Sin In Your Behalf
And 
No Other Human May Own Your Lot! 
So, If You Choose To Liberally Indulge 
Your Desire For Temporal Aka Earthly Things 
And
Conservatively "Love" The Things Of God
Please Know ... Of A Surety That 
You Shall Not Hold Either! 

Dare To Let
"Jesus First! 
        Jesus Last! 
              Jesus Always!" 
Be Your Daily Call To Work
To Walk
And 
To Acquire The Wisdom Of The Wise 
Who Walked ... Are Walking ... On The Way Of The Cross!

I Beseech Us All
Please Seek  ... And Find ... The Savior 
And
Know That All Of Grace's Good Things 
Will Be Abundantly Added Unto You!



The Everlasting Portion
Is
The Portion That Lasts
And
Lasts
And
Lasts
And
It Is Specifically For Those
Who
For Jesus Christ The King
Their Lot In Life Have Cast!

Sing Unto Almighty God A New Song!







No Mortal Aka Human Being 
Can Over-Rule God Almighty 
Or 
Out-Maneuver Satan! 

No Committed Christian
- Standing By Faith Through Grace 
And
With Prayer - 
Has To Worry About Satan 
And
His Deceived, Unhinged, Minions 
Doing Them A Damage: 
The Lord In Zion Reigns And Rules!

Beloved, 

We Are Instructed By The Word Of Truth That 
All Who Will Live Godly Lives In Christ Jesus 
Shall Suffer Persecution 
So, Whatever You Are Going Through
Whatever Is The Reason
Be Joyful In The Lord 
For Being Counted Worthy To Suffer 
For Your Faith In Your Creator, Savior, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend 
Who Sticks Closer To You Than Any Brother, Sister
Mother, Father Or Child Ever Can Or Will! 

Brethren, 

Remember This One Thing: 
The Gift Of Song And Praise To Our God Known-Eternal 
Is 
A Spiritual Weapon In Your Warfare 
Against Those Who Will Try To Cause You To Sin 
Against Our Lord Christ 
By Indulging In Foolish 
And
Decimating, Deadly, Devilish Doubt! 

Whatever Happens To The Child Of God 
Is 
Permitted By The Eternal God Of Grace 
So Never, Ever, Doubt That The Lord Is Able
And
Ready And Willing To Deliver You
No Matter The Cock-Ups And Miseries 
Which Apparently Dog Your Life! 

Pray ... Always! 
Sing Unto Almighty God A New Song
And
Be At Peace As You Rest In Him! 
Troubles Won't, Can't, Don't Last Forever!
