VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The One Who Did Our God Deny!

Jesus Christ 
Triumphant King
Holy Lord
God All Glorious
The Overcomer
Speaker of Peace
Destroyer of The Devil and The Devilish

*******************


Dear Stewart pointed out 
In the IDE/IED acronym play that Jesus says:
"I Did Enough!
I Even Died!"

Well, let me tell you of
That Other Side
Of The One who Lied
Of The one who did Our God Deny:




Satan is The Copy Cat!
When it comes to Creation
He can not do that for
His method is to pull things out of a "Big Black Hat!" 

Satan speaks to Being Creative
But all he can do is to Abominate!
He never can Bless but he will Dominate
And his basic ingredient is to Always Humans Hate!

Satan brags each day of his Expressed Prowess
Over man and woman whom he will Oppress
Of woman and man whom he doth possess
Being ever the usual False Witness!

Satan, as usual, must follow behind God
But with The Spin
He, The Lie, doth Deploy
He gives The Plus plus The Minus 
And he achieves "Goal!" with a thrusting of Self-trust!

Satan motivates himself each day
By making men believe that:


Sin ever Pays
That Man is god
That to Do Good is to Need Greed
That Feeling Flesh is Staying Fresh, and
Gotcha is Good Growing Seed!

And when Satan takes himself a Non-break
He strokes his Ego
Before he on another victim let's go!
He looks in his mirror
And repeats the vile mantra he wrote, and
Proceeds valiantly Wicked Seeds to sow:


"It's All About Meeeee!
I Will With Ignoble Deeds Humans Ensnare!
I Will Ex-filtrate Souls Every Day!"


And he sings to himself his glory song:


"I ENSNAAARE with ignoble needs
I will daily The Humans' Greed feed
With Putrid Praise
With Petty Pleas
With Puffup Pastry
And Pesky Deed Fleas
Of Self and Sin
Of Song and Dance
Of Vodka and Gin
Of Smoke and Mirrors
Of Conquerable Skies and
Dark Domains enchained
Of Life unfettered
Without restraints
With me in charge
By lies about Him
I'll weave my Web of Deceit
And I will deny Them to Him!"


Dear Ones:

Please remember these points:


(1)

Seeking Self 
Sets Satan's Seal Securely 
Upon 
Sinner's Souls!

(2)

Saints Solemnly Seek After Their Soul's Salvation!

(3)

Seeking The Savior Seals and Saves From Sin!

(4)

Satan is The Lifelong Liar
He will reap Almighty God's Ire
Don't fall and join him on the Funeral Bier
The Holy God is going to rain down Living Fire!








Prayer: Thank You, Lord



Thank You, Lord
For The Blessings Today!
Thank You, Lord
For Provision in All Ways!
Thank You, Lord
For Saving My Soul!
Thank You, Lord
I Don't Have To Set Dates
For By Jesus' Faith
I Will Have Right To Walk Through
Your Holy City's Bright Gates!
I Love You, Lord!
Amen.

Happy Sabbath + Life's Look Book 'n Prayer






I opened up My Life's Look Book today
I turned a page - I looked away
I turned a page - My heart grew sad
For I saw things ugly, some even bad.

I kept turning pages
I kept looking around
Some things there made my Poor Soul frown
And not long thereafter, I put The Look Book down
And turned away
And started to pray:

Dear Lord, My Father
It's just Me
I feel heart broken 
Please hear my plea!
I come today and
I must repent as
Review today showed things 
Of a youth misspent.
Forgive me, Father
And help me to grow
In the Faith of Jesus
More and more.
I give You Permission
To yank snap Me right back
When Life's Polluting Nibbles
Are in Me on The Attack.
I Give You, Lord
My Will
My Way
As I say to You this Humble Pray.
Rid Me of Self
And Walking in My Own Way
Keep Me Walking Toward Zion
In The Straight and Narrow Holy Way.
I love You, Lord
I don't want to disappoint
Bless Me, Father
Anoint, anoint
This Soul often listing
As The World's thrusts annoy
Lift Me up, raise Me up
Unto Eternal Joy!
Amen.

And At The Finale 
The End of The Performance
There is A Peaceful Benediction
Some Rousing Applause 
OR
Cry of Waste and 
The Sound of Distaste!

Life Begins with a Spark!
Water, Light, Disturbance
Then a Cry of Disbelief
Then Relief
Poke, Poke
Then Prod
Open Mouth
Singing a Song
Loud, Loud
Then Comfort
And Rest
And The Voice
Soft, So Soft
Gentle, Proud!

Food in The Mouth:
"Coo! Coo!"

Wipe on The Bottom:
"Boo, Hoo, Poo!"

Cry! 
Scream!
Attention: "I am Here!"
Please Get On With The Show!"

Grab a Finger
Pull on A Heart

I Learned
I Cared
I Was taught - I Taught
I Prayed
I Cried

I Beseeched!

There Was a Guffaw!
There Is Sin - The Outlaw!
And There Is The Master
Who Knows My Every Flaw!

Long Story!?!
Yes!
Cut It Short!

I was Pushed
I Fell
Heaven Picked Me Up and
 I Avoid Hell
With Much Prayer, and
Faithful Works and
Singing, and 
Reading The Book!

Until My Day is Done
Life's Musical Instruments
Will Play The Notes
And I Will Live Sing
But Not On The Whim
For The Director of My Masterpiece
Is None Other Than
Jesus Christ, The King!

My End Will Be Peace for
Live or Die
Peace is The Relief
Of All Who Set Aside Self and are
Following The Plan and
Doing His Bidding and
Singing The Song of Zion
Casting Aside The World's Whirl
Having No More Stomach to Make Hurl
And Soon ...
Soon ...
Heaven ... and Countless New Worlds!

Until Then ...
I Shall Pray
I Shall Plod
And I Shall Sing The Song
Of Jesus' Blessed Peace
As I Wait Impatiently Patiently
For Heaven To Descend and
Bring My Blessed Release Relief.


This Life IS Set To Music!

Do You Know WHO Is Your Music Director?!

Sowing AND Reaping!




I Sowed In Tears - Repentance For Sin Was My First Seed
He Sowed In Tears - Suffered for Jesus Christ In Deed
But in The Day The Dear Lord Appears
We Shall Not Shed a Grieving Tear
Nor Shall We Bow Our Heads In Abject Fear!

We Both Will Reap 
With Unalloyed Joy
Along With All The Faithful
Man, Woman, Girl, Boy!

Whether Still Living or Having Faithful Died
Nothing Will Keep Us From Eternally Praising
Jesus Christ - The Living Lord
The Lamb Who For Us Was Crucified!

Our God IS Faithful
Our God IS Just
And, Whether Living Blood or Even Once Before Dead Dust
Our God Will Deliver The Saint's Reward To All
To All, That Is
That He calls The Just!

The Word of God a/k/a God's Looking Glass!




The Word of God is The Looking Glass
By Which We Know That We Are Sinners Who Sin
The Glass Itself Can Will Not Save Us But
It Plainly Shows The Trouble That Sin Has Us In!

The Word Of God Also Points To The Way of Salvation
Free To All Who Will Acknowledge Their Plight
It Gives To All A Sure Way To Glean Repentance
If We Would Not With The Holy Spirit Fight!

For Cleansing The Word Of God Points Out Our Need Of The Life-Giver
The Holy God, The Word Himself, The Lord Divine
The One Whom All And Sundry Must Appease OR
Be Permanently Removed From ... At The End of Time's Line.

No Amount Of Judicious Self-cleaning
Can Will Make One Justified In The Lord
We Must Appeal To The Captain
Jesus Christ - The Savior
The One With Whose Holy Spirit We Must Be In One Accord!


We Must Not Be Forgetful Observers
We Must Read The Word
Honor The Lord, and Obey
We Must Take To Heart The Word of The Master
And Not Just Look, and From Ourselves Toss It Away!



Let Us Look In The Word's Mirror
And Truly Believe What It Shows
Let Us Take Heed To The Rebuke
And ... Change Our Spirits' Clothes!

The Tongues a/k/a Red Rags Waving!




I Met The Tongues!
Truly Red Ones Indeed
Language is Their Specialty, and
Variety is their Speed!

There was Vitriolic
There was Sarcastic
There was Majestic Tongue
There was Foolish
There was Frantic
There was Dynastic Tongue
Then, Lo, and Behold
Before I could Make a Sound
I Heard, Felt and Shivered
As Fiery Tongue made Everybody Move Around!

There was Iniquitous
There was Impious
There was Bad-Talk Tongue
There was Tamed
There was Tempermental
There Unruly Tongue
And in a split second of our Meeting
Bitter and Envious were making Me Frown!

There was Sweet-Talk
There was Girl-Talk
There was Pillow-Talk Tongue
There was Jest
There Restful
There Messy-Talk Tongue, but
The Worst of this Lot
Was a Devilish Dude
Who Prided himself on
His Talk being Crude!

There was Vile
There was Vilifying
There was Educated Tongue
There was Silly
There was Sad
There was Putrid 'N Proud Tongue
The Mother was Dastardly
Their Daddy was Untamed
Their Grampy was Discordant
And their Granny was called
That Tongue Full-A Hate!

There was Boastful
There was Blasphemous
There was Potty-Mouth Tongue
There was Naughty
There was Nasty
There was even Long-Talk Tongue
But The ones that Impressed me
Were Old Blessing and Caring-Talk
Praying and Truthful-Nice Tongue
Who Cleaned up for them all
Ever watching for where Wicked
Wild and
Just-Wrong Tongue would fall!

Some Tongues are a Handful -
Many have Strayed Away!
From The Words of The Master
Some have Simply Walked Away
Forgetting, E'en Ignoring
The Truth on The Way
That Blessing and Cursing
Shouldn't come from The Same Tongue Walking
Truly Walking
On The King's True Pathway!

Understanding God?! + Prayer: Let My Heart Be Ever Thankful




I Can't Understand My Son - and I gave Birth to him!
So ... How can I Understand Almighty God
Who is as Visible as The Rushing Wind?

I Don't Understand God
And I am Not Even Going to Try
For I Know - with Certainty
That with Wings, I am Going to Fly Away
Far Away
From Struggle
Want, Hate, and Greed and
Death
For I Know The God 
Which Sacrificed His Son for Me
Has to Love Me!
Love Me, Indeed!

So ... When I'm Feeling Used
Abused, Refused
Sad, Neglected
Tired, Unloved
And Needing to Cry
And Sneeze and Wheeze
I Pray, and 
Thank God for His Love, and Mercy
And Beseech Him to Come - Soon - for Me
For I'm Begging: "Lord, Please?!"


Heavenly Father,
Let My Heart Be Ever Thankful
For I Know That You Always Provide!
I Do Not Ever Have To Think Of Or Wonder
What The New Day Will Provide!
You Have Promised - Your Word Is Faithful
To Provide For and Be With Me to My Life's End
So, I Give Unto You My Will and Way, Lord
Lead and Guide - You Are My God and My Friend!
I Love You, Father.
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Way Of The Faithful







The Way of The Wicked is Convoluted
Their Speech upon it is Sorely Polluted
They go Two Steps Forward, and take Three Steps Back
And are Always Looking The Righteous to Attack!

The Way of The Faithful Leads to Heaven's Door
Where The Savior Awaits
The Rich, Young, Old and Poor!
There's No Left! There's No Right!
There's No Spinning in The Night for
Our Footsteps are Ordered and
Our "Horse" is Made of Light!

Heaven Awaits!
God's Glories Never Abate!
Trust God To Deliver -
Jesus Won't Be Late!




Declaration: My Conscience Is Not On Sale!




My Conscience Is Not a Commodity
To be Bought and Sold to Eat Bread!
My Conscience IS My Director to Get Me Home Safely
So that I won't End Up Eternally Dead!

My Conscience Does Not Belong To The Civil Authorities
The Church Authorities
Nor god on the Earth!
My Conscience is My Gift from My Creator
He who Made The Heavens and The Self-Same Earth!

I Exercise My Conscience!
It is not Fat, Lazy, Greedy, on Sweetness Overfed!
It is Lean!
It is Clean
Led by The Holy Spirit - not The Evil Machine
And Cannot be Begged, Bought, Bartered for 
Ease, Money nor Pastures Green!


My Conscience is Mine
Delivered by God
Operated by The Holy Ghost
Renewed Daily in The Holy Word, and
Waiting for Glorious Validation at 
The Coming of Jesus Christ, The Lord!

Sorry, 'Bub!
This Conscience Is Not On Sale!

HAPPY SABBATH: No More Night!






You can't Fool the  Master
He Gave you your Mouth
He is the Redeemer 
AND He is your Friend
AND He'll Either be your Judge OR  your King
It's your Choice ... at The End!

Think About your Life!
Can you Save your Own Soul?
Can you Extinguish Hell's Fires
When you get Thrown Out The "Door?"

Salvation is Free
To All who Will Believe
And Trust on King Jesus
His Heart on their Sleeve!

Rather to be Chosen as 
Soldier or Sacrifice
Makes No Difference to us for
When He Comes we Fly
Home to His House - To Mansions of Rest
To Live with The Eternal
Eternally Blessed!

I am In on Jesus' Action
I will in The Strife Fight
And if I am Chosen to Say: "Good Night!"
Well??
"Good Night!"

In Jesus I Know No Fear!
With Jesus I Fear No Fright!
Jesus Christ IS My Lord and My God, and
He's Already Saved Me from Sin's Blight!

I Shall Awaken - Remade
Righteous
In Flight, and
I will See My God 
As One of His Own!
My Rest will Sweet!
My Light will be Glory Bright!
I will Sing through Endless Ages
In Eternal Day, for
There is No Night - Nor Worry, Nor Care - There!






Prayer: Give Me Grace


Lord, there is The Great Shaking Coming -
Please give my Heart some Relief
Help me to Stand Ever Victorious
 When Faced by Evil, Strife, and The Troubler-in-Chief!

Help me to Stand Firm in Your Precepts
Help me not to Hold on to Worldly Conceits and Receipts
Help me to Stand Fast in The Faith of Jesus
Not Afraid of that Wicked Soul Thief!

Give me The Promised Grace, Dear Lord, I Beseech You
Grant me Strength to Hold on to 
Your Peace, Dear Lord, I Pray
Bless me, Lord - Help me to be Victorious 
I am Your Child, and 
I would have it to be No Other Way!
I Love You, Lord.
AMEN.

The Destruction Delegation - Divide & Conquer Command Meeting


"Divide! Divide!"

"But, why?"

"Can anyone answer that question?!"

"So that we may conquer them!"

"Very gooood! And for that perfect,perfect, answer Distrust, you get first chance at them!"

So went The Meeting of The Destruction Delegation - Divide & Conquer Command.

"Wow! Those Christians don't stand a chance!"

"Do not try to get them to leave their churches - Join their churches!
Join their committees!
Be their Best Friend!
Be their Girlfriend!
Be their Boyfriend!
Be their Mother!
Be their Father!
Be their Brother!
Be their Sister!
Be their Guide!
Be their Leader!
Be their Teacher!
Be their Preacher!
Be Whoever, Whatever, Wherever, Whenever you need to be, or to do, to Accomplish The Task!"

"I liiiikkkke!" said Falter

"Wherever they go - you go!
Whatever they do - you do!
But ... Do not forget to go The Extra Mile!
Give The Friendly Smile!
Be kind to The Child
AND
Beguile! Beguile!"

"Niiiccceeeeeeeeee!" said Randy, Rowdy, Rambunctious and Ribald in unison.

"People, this is no different from a bloody war!
We can't go back home, and it is our job to make sure that they can't go home either!"

"Yeahhhh!!" said Okay-But

"We won't get them all but WE WILL GET A LOT OF THEM!!

"Becauseeee ...?! 
Why?!
How?!
Wha...aat?!"

"BECAUUSSSSSSSSE:

1. Humans love to be told how wonderful they are!
2. They love to be told that they are better than everybody else, and
3. They love to know they know something by nobody else does! And, get this!
4. They really love to have something that nobody else has to brag about!"

"Gooood to knnooooww! said Mendacious.

"People!! You must:

1. Appeal to their Vanity!
2. Appeal to their Greed!
3. Stroke The Ego!
4. Pat them on The Head!

In short, go for Overkill!"

"And when they are leaning on your shoulder
Feed then The Swill
And they'll eat until they fall down 
Dead from Overfill!"

"I really, really, like that!" said Tempted-to-Touch.

"Feed them so they can't think straight and make "The Decision" for You Know Who!
Promise them the World!
Give them a quick Twirl!
Give them a few Pennies
And hear them as they Purr
And Perform
And Run Around
Doing as we Bid
Never Realizing that
For them, we don't give a Fig!"

"Niiicee!!" 

"It's all about The Numbers!
We must get our Numbers High
Don't ever Forget
He is Coming and
We are going to Eternally Die!"

"He loves these Silly Humans!
They are His Pets
And that very reason gets Boss-man upset!
So, let's get to it
Let's have a Harvest
Let's have a Harvest Galore
Let's make Boss-man Happy
Let's bring down those Humans for Certain Sure!

"Yeeessss!! 
Yeeessss! 
Yeeessss!!"





Dear Ones:

Since God loves us, Satan hates us with a Passion Refined by Time and Experience.

Satan is not our Friend!

Satan will rob us of our Peace!

Satan will try to make us Release our Hold on our Salvation, and he will do it by sitting next to us at our Church Services, and even in our very homes!

Don't look for Satan at The Gin Joint - he has no need to go there!

Look for Satan where God's People Meet:

Look for The Self-righteous
Look for The Puffed-up
Look for The Grossly Opinionated
Look for The Holier Than Thou
Look for The Greed-actuated 

"Saint" Who Must Always Have Preeminence, and 

Look for Master Mouse of Mindful Manners to whom everyone willingly, wittingly and "wisely" defers.

Look for Satan in The Kindly Teacher of "Truths" taught with Worldly Passion and Vain-glorious Purpose!

Look for Satan in The Strikingly Handsome AND 
Honestly Homey AND 
Winningly Wonderful AND 
Borderline Beautiful and Bumptious AND 
Soulfully Saintly Sellers of Profane Symbology and New Age Truths.

Look for Satan in ... Self!!

Remember, if we are not looking at Jesus Christ, we are seeing Satan! - There is No Middle Ground!

Remember, Satan, Sin and Self all begin with "S" and their fates are all the Same!

Let's give none of them a toehold!


Give Jesus Christ Your Head
Your Heart
Your Hand
and
Your Hope
and
Get 
Help
and
Healing
and
Gain 
The Glorious Home in Heaven!
