VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Taking God To Court!?!





The Headline Read:

Man Seeks Restraining Order Against God!
http://www.timesofisrael.com/man-seeks-restraining-order-against-god/

AND ...

I Couldn't Decide Whether To Be 
Appalled
Disgusted 
Fatalistic
Or
Just Be A Born-Again Bible-Believing Christian!

I Finally Decided On 
Being A Born-Again Bible-Believing Christian
For This Bit Of News
Was Quite Fantastic
Showing That
The Prince Of The Dark World
Was Again
Doing A Whirl
And Yanking Misguided Men
By The Short Curls!

I Could Just See The Charge:

God Is Unkind!

God Is Not Divine
Or He Would Not Be Doing Bad Things
To Inoffensive Traveling Human Souls
Who Are Just Going Along To Get Along
Not Bothering Anybody
Just Singing A Simple Song
Of Life
Real Life
Amidst Trial And Strife!

Of Course  ...

There Is No Presented "Evidence"
Of What The Unkind God Has Done Or Is Doing!

Interestingly ...

This Deceived Man Has To Have Some Belief That There Is "GOD!"
Else
Why Would He Have Chosen To Go Up Against
The Invisible God
In The Court Of The Unjust Judge
UNLESS
He Was Machinated To Manufacture
A Moot Against The Glorious Master
By The Demon-In-Chief!

I Am Certain That This Matter Was A Lobbed Missile
By The Baleful Beelzebub
To Bring Christian Faith And Belief 
Into The Realm Of Bollocks?

Now  ...

If I - A Seeker After Christ's Righteousness
Were To Take A Position
Relative To My Soul's Salvation
In Relation To 
The Eternal, Living, Holy, Almighty
Ain't Never Been Wrong 
Can't Make A Mistake
Doesn't Sleep
Doesn't Own Pyjamas
Doesn't Wear Sun Glasses
Has No God-Children Grandchildren Nor Stepchildren
Creator Of The Known Unknown 
Seen Unseen Universe
Maker Of Heaven And Earth
Things On The Earth
Things Under The Earth
All That Is In The Sea
God
In Whom All Things Consist
And Have Their Being
I Would ... Take A Totally Different Approach!

Because God Is Almighty
All-knowing
AND
Ever Present
I Would Go To God 
AND
Being A Fallen Human
I Would Complain
Rationlise
And
Pity Party-ise
Always
A sking Why
S eeking Understanding, And
K eeping After God Until ... 

He Sets Me Straight
Teaches Me His Way
Forgives Me
Helps Me Walk Right By Jesus' Faith
AND
Carries Me Along The Road
Victorious
To His Home:


Heavenly Father,
I Didn't Know You
Or Of You
And
I Couldn't Own You
Until You Called Me!
You Called!
I Heard A Voice!
I Finally Understood
It Was Is You
For You Wouldn't Stop Calling My Name!
I Now Answer You
AND
I Am Here At Your Disposal!

Father,
My Life Until Now
Has Been
Misfortune
Cruelties
Credulities
Incriminations
Discriminations
Castigations
Excesses
Disappointments
Excuses
Ploddings
Bruises
Broken Heart
AND
Pure Pain!

Father,
I Can't Feel Like Job
For Job Was Righteous - I Know That I Am Not!


Child,
Righteousness Exalteth A Nation!

I Don't Feel Like David
For David Was A Killer - I Am Not!


Child,
Confession Is Good For The Soul!
AND
Repentance Yields Forgiveness!

I Could Feel Like Saul
For Saul Was Disobedient
And I Have Done That  ... A Lot!


Child,
To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!

I Could Feel Like Joseph
For He Was Much Put Upon
But Freely Forgiving People
Is Not In My Case Brief!
I Know I Should Change
For
Against Me
It Is A Blot!


Child,
Forgive Your Brother Seventy Times Seven!
That Is 
All The Time!
I Willingly Forgive You!

Father,
Are You Trying To Tell Me Something?
Am I Walking In My Own Way?
Do I Not Give You Honor In My Worship?
Am I By Self Being Led Astray?


Child,
Be Ye Perfect
Even As I Am Perfect!
Come Unto Me
For You Are Heavy-Laden!
Set Aside Self
And Seek Salvation
For I Alone Give Rest!

I Like Doing My Own Thing!
It Is My Life - I Do Things As I Want!
You Gave Me "MY" Life!
Was It For Life Or Just A Loaner
AND
Why Is Everything Evil On My Back?


Child,
I Gave My Life For You
For You Are The Apple Of My Eye
AND
I Lay Before You Blessings And Cursings!
Why Won't You Understand
And Accept
That You Reap What You Sow?

Father,
You Say You Made Me!
You Made Me This Way!
So 
Why Now Are You Troubling Me
Causing Me To Eat Former Green Grass
Now Brown Hay?


Child,
Am I Your Troubler 
For Calling You To My Home In The Light?
I Desire To Give You A Hope
And An Expected End!
Am I Your Troubler
For Wanting My Child
Greatly Beloved
At My Banqueting Table?
I Will Show You Great 
AND
Marvelous Things
Which You Do Not Know
IF
You Take Up Your Cross
Daily
And Faithfully Follow Me!

I Didn't Ask To Be Born!
My Life Is Bitter!
If You Had Any Compassion
You'd Be Looking Out For Me
BUT
You Breathe Rarefied Air Up In Heaven
And Leave Me To Suck Wind
Under A Polluted Canopy!


Child,
Read The Word!
Disobedience Is As The Sin Of Witchcraft!
Presumptuousness
Is A Sin Against Your Own Soul!
Hate Is Akin To Murder
AND
Can You By Your Own Actions
Stop Yourself From Growing Old And Dead Cold?

Man Has Free Will
To Do As He Pleases! - But Not Forever!
I Can Not Make Anybody Love Me
Or Follow Me!

Sin Is In The World
Because Of 
Pride
AND
Rebellion
AND
Sickness
Covetousness
Jealousy
Greed And Death 
Are Thereby Unfurled!

There Is No Mistake Made By Me
I Change Not!
I Made All Things Good
For You And All Humanity!
At The End Of This Age
I Will Make All Things New Again!

I Will Defend Myself
To Show To All Men
That With Me 
There Is No Perfidity!

You Ask For Things
BUT
You Have Not
Because You Ask Amiss
For Things To Slake Your Lusts!

I Desire
That You Be My Willing Sheep
To Be Safely Lead To My Sheepfold
BUT
You Desire That I Should Follow
After You Wherever You Choose To Go
As Would Indisciplined Goats!

I AM That I AM!
I Make For Every Man
A Sheltered Way!
I Give To Every Man The Breath Of Life!
You Are Mine
BUT
I Can Not Make You Desire To Be Mine!

I Love You!
I Desire That You Will Return My Love
BUT
I Can Not Make You Love Me!

I Make Daily Provision For You
BUT
I Can Not Make You
Take A Blessing From My Hand!

I Called You
Because I Desire Your Companionship
BUT
I Can Not Make You
Seek My Holy Companionship!

I Desire Sweet Communion With You
BUT
I Can Not Make You
Seek Blessed Communion With Me!

I AM Calling You
Because
I Have A Special Home
Prepared
Just For You!
I Have Written
- For You -
Words Of Life
And I Desire
That You Will Come And Reason With Me
To Know And To Do My Perfect Will!

I AM The Holy God!
In Your Current Sinful State
You Can Not Behold My Face And Live
So
Please Give Me Your Sin 
AND
Your Self
Your Willful Way
AND
Your Stony Heart
AND
I Will Renew You
AND
Give Your A Heart Of Flesh
Tended By My Holy Spirit!
I Desire You 
To Give Up The Life
Spotted By The World!

Though Your Sin Be As Scarlet
I Will Make You White As Snow!

Give Me Your Filthy Rags
And I Will Give You A Robe Of 
My Righteousness!

You Say Your Life's Burden Is Heavy!
Give It Unto Me!

Are You Laboring For No Reward?
I AM Returning To Earth
AND
I Will Be Bringing My Rewards With Me
To Give Unto Each Man
What He Has Justly Earned!
Come Unto Me And Get Heaven's Gold!

I AM The Righteous Judge!
I AM
Alpha And Omega
The Beginning And The End!
I AM The King Eternal!

He Who Does Not 
Work With Me
Works Against Me!

I Have Told You
What Was
What Is
AND
What Is TO Come!
Let No Man Deceive You!

Let No Man Steal Your Crown!
Let Your Joy Be Full
For
In Me
There Is Nothing That Is Impossible!

I Knew You Before You Were Stitched Together
In Your Mother's Womb!

I Know The Number Of The Hairs On Your Head!

I Have Given You An Expanse Of Mortal Years
BUT
If You Choose To Let Me Be Lord Of Your Life
I Have My Eternity Set Aside In Your Name!

Now Is The Day Of Your Salvation!
Now Is The Accepted Time Of Deliverance
So
Choose You This Day
Whom You Will Serve!
Is It For Baal!
Or
Is It For The I AM!

Which Ever Cup You Choose To Drink From
Know
Of A Certainty
That
You Know Not The Day Of Your Visitation
When I - The Living God -
Shall Come!
All That You Will Know Is
That I Shall Come
AND
I Will Not Be Silent!

Let Me Not
To You
Be As The Thief In The Night
For
It Will Not Go Well With You!

I Have Laid My Love For You On The Open Line!

You May Choose
The Pleasures Of Sin For A Season
OR
Pleasures Forevermore With The People Of God!


REMEMBER: 

Call On Me And I Will Answer
For
Prayer Changes Everything
For
I AM 
The Way
The Truth
AND
The Life!

Please Choose Life!






Reach Out To Jesus!


I Walked
Aimlessly
On The Street Called Life!
All Around 
Was Blight And Strife!
Morals' Compass
Had Been Broken
AND
Contamination
In My Life Was Rife!

I Was Not Worthy
Fallen
Broken
BUT
Jesus Christ Called Unto Me!

Love Lifted Me Up
AND
I Heard The Gentle Voice Saying:
"Come Unto Me!

Your Salvation Is Here!
Be A Christian Soldier!
Look Upward! 
Walk Onward!
Follow Me, Dear One!
Be True And Faithful!
Beloved! Let Me Be The King Of Your Life!"

I Heard Jesus
O'er Life's Tumults
AND
I Cried:
"Lord, Save Me
The Tempest Rages High!"

Satan Right Howled!
Satan Fair Roared
BUT
Jesus Christ Calmed Me
Again, Saying:
"Beloved! 
Your Salvation Is Here!
You Have Nothing To Fear!"

Trusting Jesus
The Holy Jesus
I Accepted The Hand
AND
By Grace
I Am Saved! 

I Walk By Faith
My Heart Bound To Jesus
AND
Living In Hope
I Look Forward To The Glory Days!

Oh, Dear Brethren!
Call Now On Jesus!
He Will Not Turn Your Heart Away!
Trust Him - His Word Is Faithful
For
Everything Else
Leads To Damnation's Fire's Blaze!

When You Need
A Hand Of Care
 A Word Of Chiding
A Call To Rest
And
Comfort Sweet
Reach For Jesus
The Lovely Jesus
And
In His Love
You Will Rest
Replete!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Glorious Refrain!






No One Can Stop What The Lord God Has Appointed!
No One Can Almighty God's True Prophets Charm!
Anyone Can Shout "Fire!"
In A Crowded Building
BUT
No One Can Almighty God's Believing Repentant People Fill
With Ungodly Fear
AND
Alarm!

No One Can Deceive God's Elected People
Who
Through Jesus Christ's Living Faith
Are Battle Ready
AND
Strong!
Any One Can Cry:
"I'm Jesus! Bow Before Me!"
BUT
The Holy People Won't Be Dancing To
The Arch-Deceiver's Lying Song!

The Called
The Few
The Chosen Saints Of The Coming Kingdom
Built On The Rock Not Cut Out With Human Hands
Will
- After Enduring Battle-Scarred
Bruised, Burned, Bent And Broken Mortal Bodies -
Receive Immortal Bodies
AND
The Right
Through Heaven's Pearly Gates
To Enter In!

The Living Faith Of Almighty God's Holy People
Who Believe Almighty God's Word Of Prophecy
Will Not Be Put Off
By The Daily Signs Of The Times
For
They Love Not Their Lives
In This Veil Of Tears
BUT
- As True Citizens Of New Jerusalem -
Have Cast Their Fears
On Jesus Christ
The Coming Judge For The Unrepentant
AND
The Holy King Of The Redeemed Ones
Who Lovingly
All Their Burdens Bear!

Totally Trusting In Him Who Is Faithful
The Faithful Few
Walk Holy
AND
- In Cheerful Christian Hope -
Joyfully Sing
Salvation's Blessed Song!

HALLELUJAH
Is Our Highest Praise To Him!

Glory To Him!
Who Paid For Us To No Longer Be Sin's Slaves!

Amazing Grace!
The Sweet Song Of Faith In Trial
AND
Temptation!

Redeemed!
Through Endless Ages
The Glorious Refrain!


Glory!
Hallelujah!
Our Burdens Are All Laid Down!

Glory!
Hallelujah!
Satan's Musicals
Won't Get Us Off
The Steps To Christ
NOR
Stop The Saints From
Lifting Up Jesus
In The Music
Of
Christ In Song!

God's Book Of Remembrance




Oh,  Wicked Man
Why Don't You Fear Almighty God?
He Is Your Creator!

Why Won't You Honor God?
He Is The Great I Am!

Why Won't You Bless God?
He Is The True Provider
AND
He Holds Your Days And Years
In The Palm Of His Holy Hand!

Oh, Wicked Man
How Long Do You Believe
You Can Exercise Power Without Limit?
How Long Do You Believe
You Can Indulge In Vice Without Restraint?

Even Though You Refuse To Acknowledge
That There Is God Almighty In The Heavens
You May Rest Assured
That He Has In His Keeping
Your Presumptuous Vile Record!

God's Book Of Remembrance
Holds Records 
Of Each Life's Doings
AND
Priest
Pope
Pastor
President
Prime Minister
Peasant
Rich
Poor
Have
Have Not
Lofty
Lowly
Queen 
King
ALL 
Shall Stand Before God's Judgment Seat
To Give An Accounting
Of Each Life's Work
AND
To Receive Its Justly Earned Reward!

Elevating Oneself
To The Post Position of "God"
Will Never Denigrate The Eternal God 
To The Lowering Standard Of Fallen Man
AND
Listening
Following
AND
Obeying The Voice
Of Him-Whose-Power-Is-Putrid
Will Not Unseat Almighty God
Nor Turn Him Into Offal
At Awful Man's Command Or Tweet!

Oh, Wicked Man
Repent Of Your Ways
For
The Book Of Remembrance Has An Eraser
Willing To Erase
All Sins Against God
For Which Confessing Men Repent!

Please Don't Be Like Lucifer
Now Satan Of Dread Fame
Committed 
AND
Fixed
In Rebellion!
Go To
The Father God
AND
At His Feet
Humbly Repent!

Jesus Christ 
Will Lift You Up
With Hands Scarred
By The Price Of Our Salvation
AND
Hold You To A Heart
Once Broken To Gain Your Return
Clean
At The Eternal Father's Eternal Throne!
Please Don't Cast Away Your Hope!

In God
All Is Good
AND
Eternal
AND
Hope Is Made Real
If Faith In God 
Does Not Fail!

Trust In The Living God
Not The Plaster Saint
Not The Wood Nymph
Nor 
The Other Useless Manufacturings
Of Man's Hands
Those Treasured Idols 
Of Precious Stone 
Gold
Bronze
AND
Silver!

Please Stop Laying Up Treasure 
Which Will Curse You In The Day
When
Jesus Christ Himself 
As Conquering King
- The Judge Of All Flesh -
Shall Appear!

I Beseech You, Brethren
Let Us Lay Up For Ourselves
Treasures In Heaven
Which We Will Receive In The Holy Celebration
AND
Please Resign 
From The Crew Whose End Is Death
Eternal Death
Destroyed
With No Hope
Ever
Of Being By Jesus Christ
Renewed!




It Is Better 
To Bend Now
Worshiping The Living God
Than 
To Burn Later
Because Of Rebellion!

Repentance Is Sin-Erasing Ink!

Uncompromised!

Child, Call Me
Believing Faithfully In Me
Even When
My Hand You Do Not See!
Just Trust Me

I Hallow Your Name
Your Kingdom Is Coming
So
In Me, Let Your Will Be Done!

You Give Me Each Day
Living Bread 
Sufficient For My Need
Some For Sharing
And
Some For The Passersby's Feed!

You Forgive Me My Sins
So
Help Me To Forgive Those 
Who Against Me - Unrepentant - Did And Do Sin!

Father,
I Know That You Will 
With Every Temptation
Provide For Me A Way Of Escape
For
Yours Is The Only Kingdom!
ALL Power Is Yours!
ALL Glory Is Yours
And
I Desire To Live In It
With You
For Ceaseless Ages
Where There Is No End!

Father,
You Are Mine!
You Are My Hallelujah
You Are My All And All!
You Are
Amen.

God Is True!
Every Man Is A Liar!

Looking For And Finding God




I Wanted To Serve God!
My Soul Desired A God To Worship
BUT
I Was In A Quandary!

Where Could I "Find" God?

There Was A Church On The Corner!
There Was A Church In The Middle Of The Block 
On The Corner Of Each Long Short Street
Where All The People Flock!

There Was The Pretty Church
The Proud Church
The Finished Church
AND
The Church - Building Incomplete!
AND
There Was Even The Church
Where You Could Purchase A Velvet Covered Seat!

There Was The Church On Broadway
There Was The Church On The Narrows
There Was The Church Full Of Blessings
AND
There Was The Church Of Bare Laughs!

NOW ...

ALL The Churches
"Had God!"
ALL The Churches 
"Had The Only God!"
AND
ALL The Churches Had
"God -  For Real!"

AND ...

There Was "God Spectacular!"
AND
The "Real God In The Cave!"

I Was In A Pickle!
For 
ALL The Different Churches
ALL Had The Same God Only Different With Specificity a/k/a
"Choose Make Your Own God To Order!"

BY NOW ...

My Pickle Had Pepper Problems!

AFTER SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT ...

I Remembered My Granny Telling Me
When I Was In The Grass Hopper Grade 
- I Was Small -
That:

"Making One's Own God's Idolatry! - Don't Do It!
You Must Worship The Living God!  
You Must Worship The Every Where
Every Day
In Everything
In Who Is Everything
Can't Be Fazed By Your Something
Never Behind On Anything
God 
Who Created You
Who Sustains You
In Whom Is Your Life
Who Will See You Through The Strife
The God In Whom Is Eternal Life
AND NOT
One Who Cavorts
In Pleasure Palaces And Resorts!
God Is Your Friend
BUT
You And God Are Not Company!"


I Could Go On But YOU Get The Drift,  Right?!

The One Thing That Stood Out From Granny's Lecturing Was This:

"God -  Almighty God
The Holy God
Is The God Of Order
The God In Whom There Is No Shadow Of Turning!
His Word Is Who He Is!"

Well ...

That Left Out All The Brand Name Church Gods!

My Granny Had Given Me My King James Bible
When I Reached The Age Of Understanding

So ...

I Prayed 
AND
Daily Read My King James Bible!







After A While ...

Because I Was Sincerely Seeking
The True And Only Holy God
I Received "The Call!"
AND
Accepted A Place 
In The Class Of
"The God Not Popular!"
Who Desires
Self-Denial
Obedience
Confession Of Sin
Repentance
Baptism By Immersion
AND
Standing Up For Jesus!
AND
I Am Happy!

I Walk With The King!
I Walk With The God Eternal!

PERSONAL PUZZLER: CAN You Recognize Falsity From Truth?




How Do You You Know
The False 
From
The True?

Do You Imbibe On The False
Hoping That The Excreta Is The True
OR
Do You
- With Determination -
Dig
Sift
AND
Examine
ALL THINGS
Known To Be The True
So That At Falsity's Appearing
He Won't Pass You Get Through?


If We Know 
The Truth
We Won't Fall 
For 
The Lie!

If We Live 
For 
The Lord
Satan Won't Us Get By!

Live For Your Savior!
Live In His Word!
Live For His Love
AND
The Sheep Blessing
AND
Walk Away From Satan
AND
The Bacchanal 
Beloved Of The Goat Herd!

Can You Recognize Truth From Falsity?

Is The False True
Because Of The Constant Boo-Boo
Which
- In Time -
- By Constant Use -
Became Accepted
As "True Fact?"

Is Your "Truth" 
- Causing Satan To Laugh
AND
Jesus To Cry -
Leaving
You - Like A Turtle -
Stuck
- Vitals Plainly Exposed -
Lying Helpless On Your Back?

How Would You Counter A False-True Attack?

*******

LEARN THE FACTS:

Truth = TRUTH!

Lie = LIE!

3/4-Truth + 1/4-Lie = LIE!

2/3-Lie + 1/3-Truth = LIE!

White Lie a/k/a 1/2-Truth = WHOLE LIE!

Fear Fear!?!





Fear Is Fearsome For Many!
Fear Is Frightfully Fun For Some!
Fear Is Famous For Giving Goosies
And, To Sum
Some Say If You Don't Enjoy Being Frightened
You're Basically Ho Hum!

I Know What I Just Wrote Wrote Is Nonsense
For
God Said He Didn't Give His People
A Spirit Of Fear
So
That Means That Fear Is Of The Devil
AND
No Christian Has Any Reason To Indulge Worldly Fear! 

Fear Frightens!
Fright Gives The Frightened Fellow The Feels!
AND
Feelings Of Fright
Gives Frightened Feet The Legs Of The Motivated Steed!

SO ...

People Of God
Don't You Dare To Be Frightened
When Our God Said: "Do Not!"
Call Satan The Liar What He Is
AND
Give God His Glory 
Not Your Grunts!


Present 
The Aspect 

Of 

Godly Fear

Before 
Almighty God!
