VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Who Is The Boss?!

Man Proposes
God Disposes

Man Appoints
God Disappoints

Man makes Plans
God makes Decisions

God Giveth
God Taketh

God Blesses
God Curses

In All Things Pertaining to Man
God's Will will Be Done!

Who can ask God: "What are You doing?"
Who can ask God: "Why are You distressing?"
What will it do?
What will it change?

If we remember that all things were made by Him, and that 
All things were made for His Pleasure, and that 
All things survive BECAUSE of Him
We will see things that happen in our lives differently!

1. We are NOT our own!

If we believe in The Sovereign Will of 
The Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient God, and 
If we believe that He wills us to do of His Good Pleasure, and 
If we have subjugated our Personal Will to 
The Leading of Our Loving Lord
We are able, with conviction, to say:

Let us yield our Will and Way to The Loving Ministrations of The Master KNOWING FULL WELL that it is NOT About Temporal Prosperity i.e. Physical Earthly Prosperity, but about The Everlasting Prosperity of The Soul.

If we would but Understand and Accept this Truth, there is no God on Earth that will be able to Shake either us or The Foundation of Our Faith in The True and Living Only God!

Believe in Jesus Christ!

Trust in God!

Walk by Faith!

Live by The Heavenly Light

God's Holy Angels

Protect through The Dark Night!

The Holy Spirit Comforts

No matter how hard or long The Fight!

At the End of It All

We will Behold Jesus Christ

With Living Eyesight!

The Lord Is Our Light AND Our Salvation!

He Called Me By Love + Prayer: Lead Me Home

On The Day that I Finally Acknowledged
That I Needed Jesus' Love
Was The Moment that I Knew that
He could be Depended Upon for Eternal Love.

I did not have to be Official
I did not have to Raise a Flag
All I did was to Declare:

"Lord, You are My Shepherd!"

And Ask

"Will You Bless Me, My Lord King?"

The King of Love - Thou Prince of Peace
Oh, Holy One
Who Brings Relief
Accept this Day
My Humble Pray
And Lead Me on to The Home You Have Prepared:

I Love You, Lord!

I'm Glad I Found

My Way to You

Who Called to Me in Love!

I Honor, Bless, and Your Name I Confess

I Need You, Lord -

Help Me Pass this Life's Cruel Test!

Guide Me Through Troubled Waters

Lead Me Over Stormed-tossed Seas

Lead Me Through The Dark Shadows

That Fair Stalk Terrorize Me!

And, when My Day is Over

And Life as Known is Past

Lead Me with The Brethren

Away from What Is The Past

Into The Kingdom

Where Peace is for The Blessed!

Lead Me, My Savior, to Your Mansions of Rest

To What Is True and Good and Holy, and

What Will Eternally Last.

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: Reality Bites! + Prayer: Father, Forgive Me!

Today I feel like an Idiot!
Yesterday I acted The Fool!
I gave in to Inclination
And became one of Old Satan's Tools!

How often have I said I Trust in The Lord Jesus?
How often have I asked The Father to Grant Me Grace?
How often have I prayed The Prayer of Faith
Only to have it fall back as Spit in my clearly exposed Face?

I Should Know Better for
Faith Without Works is Dead!
I Should Do Better for
Work Without Confidence is Rotten Thread, and
A Christian Without Character is Said To Be as 
The Barren Fig Tree Jesus Christ Cursed Dead!

So ...

Father, Forgive me

For not Trusting You Enough!

Father, Forgive Me

For using My Faith like Snuff!

Trusting You, Lord

On Demand

Leaves Me No Legs on which to Stand, so

Please Forgive, Father
This Weak and Frail Human, and

Lift Me Up as I Pray 
For I Come To You
As Only a Sinner Saved by Grace can!

Lord, I Need You!
Have Mercy and Bless!

AMEN.

Gospel Goes Forth

He spoke The Word of The Gospel
They put him into Bonds
He Stood up for The Gospel
They, in Anger, Spilt his Blood!

Man May Kill Man
Man Cannot Kill God's Word
For, like Water
It Always Finds Its Level!

The Story Goes Like This:

Gospel Worker = Pitcher of Life-Giving Water:

Gospel Worker walks and waters Flowers in Far-flung Fields
Gospel Worker comes to The Town of Dry Gulch
Population: Parched
Sheriff: Dread
Policy: Maintain The Status Quo
Church: What For?!
Brothels: Busy
Truth: Absent
Needs: Many
Wants: Vomit Inducing
Goals: Glorious Gain
Mayor: Mumbles
Doctor: Dribbles
Desire: Growth
Hearts: Hungry
Eyes: Blind
Ears: Itching
Voice: Boisterous
Song: Sad
Sound: Uncertain
Peace: Poor
Hope: Imprisoned
Health: Hostage

Sheriff Dread is Dreadful!
Towns-persons are Terrorized!
Help is Sought!

Gospel-worker goes Door to Door
People are Interested
But Frightened for Sure!

On The Day Appointed
A Gathering was Held
On The Open Way of Assembly:

Come One! Come All!

Come and Be Fed!

Come To Jesus Christ!

Don't By Sin Be Misled!

All The Parched Gathered and
Gospel Worker Started to Speak!

AND ... 

Here and There
A Moist Dot Appeared!

Sheriff Dread, Always Vigilant
Noticed, and, and, well, Screeched!!

Always Able to Read The Weather, and
A Subscriber to Signs of These Times, and
Never one to Like Prayer
Nor that Corrupting Good Influence
Sheriff Dread Broke Through the Gathering
And on Gospel Worker Pounded Away!

When Dread's Work was Finished
Gospel-worker's Life was on The Ground!

Dread said: "Clean Cover up this Mess!
No need for Truth to get around!
We have rid you of a Sure Pest
Get with The Program
Dread knows Best!"

When The Day's Work was Finished
The Open Way was Nigh to Untouched!
Status Quo had been Maintained, but ...
Something IS Growing Underground!

Time Passed ...

Sirens!
Sirens!
Sirens are Screaming!

Sheriff Dread is 
Out Cold  ... Flat On The Ground
For, on The Open Way of Assembly stood
A Forest of Love Like Flowers, and Trees with True Fruit
Laden Down!

The Parched were Grabbing and Eating!
Fruit Juice was Running Down Hands and Cheeks
And Whoever Injested that True Fruit
Became Moist, Tender, Noble and Sweet!

Dry Gulch Is Now Known as Sheep May Safely Graze
Population: Watered
Intention: God's Word Speak
Sheriff: Truth Provided
Mayor: Saving Souls
Doctor: Helps 'n Heals
People: Happy
Needs: Few & Met
Hope: Secure
Health: Sure
Peace: Pure
Voice: Victorious
Song: Glorious
Sound: Certain
Eyes: Salved
Ears: Unstopped
Wants: Nothing to Bother Young Me nor Old You! 

MORAL OF THE STORY:

The Dreads of This World Seek to Limit The Spread of The Gospel by Death and Destruction!

The More they Kill and Destroy, The More The Gospel of The Love of Jesus Christ is Spread! 

Many will be Martyred for The Word of The Gospel - and those Deaths will Bear Much Fruit for The Kingdom of God - but only as long as Man's Probation is Open! 

If there is no one to be Saved, there will no longer be a Kingdom Benefit to be Derived from Christians dying so they won't be able to kill us any longer!

Death has no Power over a True Christ Believer! We Will Rise Again!

We have No Need to be Afraid of Those Who Will Kill The Body for they CANNOT Kill Our Souls in Hell!

Man Against Almighty God Is A "No Contest!" so

Fear God

and 

Give Glory to Him

for 

The Hour of His Judgment 

is 

At Hand! 

Rev. 14:7 (in part)

Talking Eternity!!

Best Man came over tonight
He wasn't dressed special
He just looked, well, all right
We sat, and we talked
Of yesterday, and today
And then, let me tell you something
I heard him say a little prayer for me!

Hmmm ...?

"Dearest Love!" - that's his pet name for Me!

"Dearest Love
I love you well
I love you
How much more ... I cannot tell
I love  you, and I wish that we
Would enter into Holy Matrimony!

Gasp!

Alright then!
Now he's talking turkey!

Ooops! 
Sorry!
My mistake!
He's talking Lamb Fest!

"Dearest Love," he said, again

"I give you my heart, and if you will, yours I claim!

I will provide for you a home that is peerless
I promise that with your heart I will not be careless!

I give you My Word
That you I will defend
That nothing will harm your Soul
Not devils nor wicked men
I will protect you
I will lay My Life down
For My Commitment is 
As Holy Ground!

Your home will be a mansion
Quite special, I declare
Of gold which, to me, is 
As common as fresh air!

Green pastures, crystal streams
Water that gives Life
Fruit, such fruit, My Darling
Will you be My Eternal Wife?

What I have is forever
To you I give Me ... Eternally
Give me Your Heart, Dearest
My Love for You is perpetual to Me!

What I offer, no money can buy
What I have I give to you
It comes Holy - no lies!

My Father is Ancient
My Home is Up High
Come to Me, Dearest
We will fly through azure skies!

My companions will be your guardians
Strong, and excellent company
Nothing can come nigh you
When Me you don't see!

My Word is Truth
My Heart Is Pure Gold
My Spirit is Comfortable
You will never be alone, nor suffer cold!

All I ask You, My Dearest
Be Faithful
Be Constant
Be True unto Me
I am Faithful always
I don't abide Infidelity!

There will be days you will not see Me
There will be days you may know fear - don't fear
Trust Me, ever and always
A way for You is prepared!

Now, Dearest, I must warn You
Life with Me will not be always calm
For I have Me an adversary called 
Natas Nam!

He is cruel and cunning
A liar and a cheat
Divisive and vindictive
And dresses beautiful and neat
His acts can be quite charming
But all have a sting
Love Me and trust My Word
And to Me wholly cling!

I give My Life for Yours
In My heart I hold You
Obey Me, and love You
Please never doubt My Word!

Think, Dearest, about Me
Think hard on My Words
And if You are agreeable
Let's be married
I've paid for, and providing You with 
Beautiful - custom - wedding robes!

I said: "Yes!"

I said: "Yes!"
For he is kind!

I said: "Yes!"
He's always on my mind!

I said: "Yes!"
For another like him I'll never find
And, you know what?
That Man IS Divine and

I love him.

That Deceitful Heart ...

Today I talked with Deceitful Heart!
We laughed!
We joked! - I was enamored
But then I thought of what
Jesus Wrote
And I Stepped Back
And Listened to Head Brother!

Head Brother Stood on Shoulders Proud
He wasn't Abrasive
He wasn't Loud
He simply Took his Simple Place
On Top of The Body though it was
Often in Disgrace!

Head Brother said: 

"Listen here, Young Love

You do not want Deceitful Heart

To get you Offside

He Will as he is Wont

To Lead you with Fanciful Twists and False Ties

Interpreted by his Vanity and Desires for Glory

Woven by Half Truths and White Lies!

A Half Truth is a Whole Lie

A White Lie is a Lie

And if you Follow his Leading, Love

Take it from The Head

You are Going To Cry!"

I Remember Ignoring Head Brother a Time or Two before
And Believe Me when I Tell you
That Cleanup Thereafter was a Serious Chore
So, with Warning in Place
Tongue Out of Cheek
Teeth Bared 
I Firmly said: 

"Deceitful Heart, Get Out Of My Face!"

"You've Lied!

You've Misled and Miscued!

You put me through Rings and Twisted Loops

And it's only because of Head Brother 

Through The Spirit that

I am still a Part of The Daisy Smelling Troop!"

"Thanks for Your Input, but 'No Thanks!'

I'll not be Heeding what you Say!

I'm  In Touch with My Jesus

And He is Leading Me 

For to Him I Daily Humbly Pray!"

Mankind Sinned 

Against 

ALMIGHTY GOD

so 

Don't Trust

The SINFUL HEART!

TRUST ALMIGHTY GOD

who 

MADE 

MAN!

The Ultimatum

ToBe SaVed is Ever Always Surrounded
By Sinners
Sinning and
Sin, and
His Brethren
NeeDing SaVing
MayBe SaVed
HowToBe SaVed and 
BeYe SaVed
Have been His Heart
Troubling!

He Knows John 3 and Verse 16
He Knows 1 John 1 and Verse 9
He Knows he wants to be Christian
But Sin - and Sinning - is Brightening his Searching Seeking Eyes!

Sinning to ToBe SaVed Seems So Exciting!
Do Whatever Whenever However you Want!
The Thrills often Heard 
Excite More Than God's Word
And ToBe SaVed is Iffy, Itching to Join Follow-Fashion's Herd!

Follow-Fashion is The Great Deceiver!
Truth to him is Not About Eternal Life!
LIFE to him is about Fun, Fads, Falls, Foolishness and Feelings
Especially when Delivered by The Cruel-Friend Knife!

One Day, LIFE Itself gave ToBe SaVed The Ultimatum:

"Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve!"

Poor SaVed ToBe, was in a Pickle ... a Quandary
For Follow-Fashion was Great Fun and Fabulosity!

ToBe SaVed Sat Down
Weighed The Pros and
Weighed The Cons
And Asked The Great Question of His Own Soul:

"When The Fun is All Done, Where Will I Rest When I Lie Down?"

And His Spirit gave Him This Simple Dressing Down:

"Life Without Christ is a Satanic Device

To Draw You Away from Your Soul's Savior

That Life is Full of Thrills and Spills

Hangovers and Chills

And Friends that Last as Long as Your Last Dollar Bill!

With Jesus Christ as Your True Companion

Your Life will be Hard is Many Ways

You Will be Hated and Cursed

You Will Bruises Nurse

But Your Ride in The Hearst

Will Not Be The Curse!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Died for You!

Don't be a Sin Slave!

Pick up His Light Burden and Walk

Sedately ... He is By Your Side

The Spirit of His Comfort Will Be Inside

And ...

At The Last ...

Just Like Jesus ...

You Will Be Raise From The Dead ... GLORIFIED!"

ToBe SaVed is today I-Am SaVed!
He Knows When he Dies
Angels will Mark his Cold Grave
And he Walks and Talks 
As The True Christian Should
His Walk and His Talk Match
He does not Talk as Spilled Gas
And Walk as Lit Match
But he Blesses
And Teaches
And The Seeking Soul
He Prays for and Edifies!

Play Now - Sacrifice Later!

Sacrifice Now - Play Later!

OR

Heaven Now - Hell Later!

Hell Now - Heaven Later!

OR

Hard Life Now - Bliss Later!

Bliss Now - No Life Later!

*******

However YOU Want It

YOU Are Going To Bear A Cross!

Peace and Rest!

There is a Darkness in This World
Colored many a Shade
But, if we would in Christ, look closer
We will see Satan with The Coloring Pencils
Coloring in The Shades!

We, of Ourselves, are Quite Helpless
We, on Our Own, are Sitting Ducks
But, We Who Believe in King Jesus
Don't Worry About Drawings by The Purveyor of Luck!

Pray and Press On!
Faith! Not Ever Forlorn!
Trust Jesus in Spades 
He is The True Healer and Maker of 
The Coming Happy Days!

With Wisdom from On High
From The Haven in The Sky
Hope is Clean Clear Speech, and
Rest Assured is The Chorus on Repeat:

Peace and Rest!

Blessed Peace and Rest!

In The Kingdom of The Blessed

There is Grace's Merciful Assurance of

Glorious Peace and Sweet Rest!
