VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Stand Up For Jesus Christ!

There Is The Day Coming
It  Is Even At The Door
When All Who Believe
Must Stand Up 
AND
Be Counted
As Those Who Refuse
By Satan
To Be Willingly Deceived!

By Fearing Almighty God
They Will Face What Most Humans Fear -
Loss 
Of Friends
Home 
Job
Family
Freedom
Even Losing Their Lives
Buy And Sell Denials
AND
Demands
That The Establishment's Faith And Beliefs
Against Conscience
Against God-given Right
Must By All Be Honored
By All Be Glorified!

Today!
Today!
We Must Start From Today
To Prepare For The Battle
To Stand Up For Jesus Christ
Him Who We Hold 
In Godly Fear!

If We Say That We Believe
We Should Have A Ready Answer For Why!
Ready To Defend Christ Calmly
Not With Hiccups
Nor Theatrics
Nor Wailing Worry
For
It Is Promised That
The Holy Spirit Will Teach Us
AND
Remind Us What It Is
We Shall Say
AND
Almighty God Will Be Glorified!
God's Truth Will Take The Day!

Trust Not In Man
Nor Horses
Nor Princes!
Let Us Fill Our Minds Now
With Good Food
Out Of God's Great Storehouses!
Let Us Learn Our Memory Verses!
Let Us Fill Up Our Hearts
With Jesus Christ's Love 
By Leaning On The Promises Provided By God
AND
Holding Fast To Our Hope
Even When We Are Being Beaten
By The Arch-Deceiver's Flailing Rod!

Look Unto Jesus
The Author And Finisher
Of Our Faith
AND
Remember The Holy Spirit Will Comfort
AND
That Holy Angels Are Protecting Us
AND
Do Not
- By Doubt And Unbelief -
Our Faith In Jesus Christ
Disgrace!

We Are Nearing Home!
Glory Is In Faith's Sight
AND
Heavenly Canaan's Border
Is On The Horizon
So Let Us Not Permit 
Deceitful Temple Vestals
To Tempt Us Unto Sins Of The Flesh 
AND
False Worship
To Cause Us With Dogs
To Be Left Outside
The Land Of Milk And Honey
To Suffer Satan
Fallen Angels
AND
Unrepentant, Bold Sinners'
Known In Advance
Just
- Prescribed By God -
Fate!

Work! Work Now
For
Night Is Coming
When No Man Can Work!
Trust God! Trust God Now
For
- By Dying -
Jesus Christ Redeemed Us
To His Father Who
Ever Works!

Trust And Obey
AND
Work
Pushing That Gospel Plow!
Jesus Has Already Saved Us
So Believe 
AND
Walk!
AND
Walk! 
AND
Work! ... By Faith
Because Of Love For Our Lord
For
Jesus Christ Himself
- The Lover Of Our Souls -
Guarantees 
Our Entry Fee
To Enter Through The Pearly Gates
AND
Into Prepared Mansions 
Of Purest Gold!

Live Now For Jesus Christ

To

Live Eternally With Jesus Christ

for

That Is God's Promise

Which Demons

Nor Demon-Inspired Men

Can Prove Is A Great Lie!

*********

TRUST JESUS CHRIST!!

HAPPY SABBATH + In The Day Of Calamity + A New Prayer Song: Lord, Hold My Hand!

In The Day Of Their Calamity
There Will Be Those
Calling On The Name Of The Lord
Who Had Denied The Name Of Jesus
AND
Lifted Up The Cruel Fraud!

These Will Have Walked In Their Own Way
Careless
Of The Strides That They Made
Unheeding
Of The Call Of Salvation
Choosing
The Free-Wheeling Ways
Of The Unapologetic Sin-Slave!

They Will Have Walked Boldly
As Men Born
BUT
They Bleated Like Goats
AND
Butted
Liked They Had Ram's Horns
Uncaring
Of Where When
How
Whose Heart
The "Butt" Shook!
They Decried The Words Of God's Truth
AND
To The Call Of The Holy Spirit
They Stood
Aloof
Ruffling Their Brows
Rolling Their Eyes
AND
Sucking Good And Hard
On A Gnarly Back Tooth!

God?!
What God?!
Jesus?!
He Works Down On The Way Broad!
Holy Spirit?!
Jack Daniels Holding Me Now!
Belief Is A Crock!
My Sister's Name Is Grace!
And
My Aunty Is Called Faith!
I've Got All I Need
So Get The Heck Out Of My Face!

But, Then ...

Ruction Broke Out!
Calamity Fell!
AND
Disaster Rolled Over!
AND
Calls For Salvation
Long And Loudly
Were Shouted Out
AND
The Name
That Worthy Name
Was Now Been Caressed
By Fallen Vanity's Swollen Mouth:

Oh, Lord

I Denied You!

I Had Not Time

Nor Uses For You!

Help Me!

I Am Begging!

Lord, Save Me Please!

I Don't Know Who Else To Call!

Nobody Is Answering My Call

And I Am Turning To You

Lord Jesus Father God

Help Me!

That Satan I Can Now See

Is A Hustler

A Liar

A Cheat

A Good Time Charlie

And An All-Fired Fraud!

Rewards?! What Rewards?!

Fair Promises

Lies

Half-Truths

Bewitching Statements

I Fell For Them All!

I Fell All The Way!

Father God,

Forgive Me

I Repent

I Confess All My Sins -

They Could Fill A Pup Tent

But I Am Crying

Calling

Pleading

Kneeling

I Repent! I Repent!

And ...

The Eternal God
Who Had Been Oft' Spurned
Held No Grudges!
He Did Not Return
Spurn For Spurn
BUT
Lifted Up The Fallen
Forgiving Confessed Repented Of Sin
Providing
Comfort AND Aid!

The Comforter
Comforted The Soul With Sin-Stained!
Jesus Christ Lifted Up The Fallen!
How Heaven Celebrated
Rejoicing Over The Lost Sheep
Now Reclaimed
While Satan
... Satan Cursed
AND
Cursed
Heaven AND Earth
AND
Went Out Roaring
Seeking
For A Soul
Whose Lightly-Held Blessing
He Could
- By Deceit -
Reverse!

Confession AND Repentance
Cleanses From Sin
BUT
Does Not Remove The Punishment
The Sorrow
The Hurt
The Pain
A Wanderer Will Experience
After Transgressing
AND
Walking In His Own Way
Off Course!

Don't Be Deceived!
Satan Can't Force You To Sin!
AND
Neither Jesus Christ
The Holy Spirit
Nor
The Holy Angels
Can Force You
The Holy Way To Walk In!

REMEMBER THIS ...

Choice ... Thy Name Is Man!
Man ... Will Is Your Way
Whether Reading The Holy Bible
Or Reading Your Palm
BUT KNOW THIS
When You Shop
Merchandise Purchased Has A Cost
AND
The Proffered Bill
- Cash, Lay-Away Or Charge -
You Are Obligated
To Pay
For That Is Only True Way!

A NEW SONG:

Lord,

I Am Trusting In Your Promises

Ratified

In Jesus Christ's Blood!

Lord,

I Am Standing On Your Promises

Made

With Eternal Love!

Lord,

I Am Looking To Your Kingdom

Where There Is No Decay!

Lord,

Help Me

To Honor You

So That I May Make

My Forever Home

There!

CHORUS:

Lord,

I Believe!

Help Thou My Unbelief!

Lord,

I Receive You!

Help So That Satan Can't Me Deceive!

Lord,

Lift Me Up!

I Desire On YOU To Firmly Stand!

Lord,

I Am Reaching For You!

Hold My Hand!

Please, Hold My Hand!

PRAYER: Thank You For Your Sure Ways, Lord!

Thank You, Father

For The Word That Gives

My Heart Peace

My Faith Hope

And

My Love Assurance!

Thank You For The Blessing Of Rest

And

Truth - The Banner Of The Faithful

That Marks The Way Home!

Thank You For Your Sure Ways

That Give My Faith Power

To Ignore Satan And His Minions:

Your Holy Word

What You Have Done For Others

What You Have Promised In Your Word To Personally Do For Me

And

The Panorama That Is Nature For All Mankind To See!

Lord, I Trust You And I Am Trusting In You!

I Thank You For The Love

That Will Not Let Me Go

And

I Beseech You

To Help Me Not To Lose Me Grip Upon You

For You Are Life

My Life

My Way To Life

And

The Reason For My Living

So That I To Holy Heaven May Go!

I Bless You, Lord

From A Heart That's Full

And

Pray That You Will Bless Me Ever Always

With A Faith That Works

Because It Is You That I Love!

Thank You!

In Jesus' Name I Plead And Stand!

Oh, To Arrive In The Peaceful Land!

AMEN.

Hearing The Rushing Wind! + PRAYER: Lord, Lead Us...!

There Is One Certainty In My Life
Jesus Christ IS Lord
AND
He Is Coming Again
AND
That Satan Is The Liar
AND
He Is Going To Forever Die!

There Is One Great Lie
The Whole World Is Told
Man's Quest For Peace And Security
Can Not
Will Not Fail!
One Presumption On Man's Part
That He Can Pull Satan's Imagined Tail
AND
Not Get Flailed
AND
One View Held
By The Illuminated Monied Elite
That Their Continuing Quest
For The Acquisition Of 
Absolute Wealth 
AND
Absolute Soul-Ruling Power
Is The Attainable Holy Grail
AND
They've Got The Bag On Their Display Shelf!

Money's Value Drops!
Grand Sureties Flop!
AND
Man's Absolutes 
Almighty God Laughs At!
Satan Is The Father-Liar
AND
Earth's Certain End
Is By Almighty God's Holy Fire
AND
On That Surety
We Can All Set
The Proverbial Clock!

Man May Defy God
BUT
Only For So Long!
Man May Reject God
Feeling
Of Himself
That He Is Wholly Strong!
Man May Raise Up
His Own Kingdoms
BUT
They Will Last Only So Long
BECAUSE
The Stone Of The Prophet Daniel
Does Indeed Destroy
The Fleeting Kingdoms
AND
Like A Grand And Glorious Mountain
Fills The Whole Earth
With A Kingdom For The Just
That Is Eternal
AND
Eternally Strong
Never
Ever
To Be Cast Down!

I Can Hear A Rushing Wind!

Is It The Destructive Storm's Wind?

The Winds Of War?

Or

Is It The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God Passing?

Storm Winds Destroy

AND

The Winds Of War Decimate

BUT

The Rushing Wind

Of God's Holy Spirit

Does The Spirit Of Man

Eternally Elevate

IF

Man Is Willing

On The Holy God Of Heaven

To Continually Wait!

PRAYER:

Lord,

Help Us

To Patiently Wait Upon You

Accepting

Believing

Knowing

And

Trusting

That The Eternal Precepts

Are True!

Help Us

With Finality

To Commit Our Hopes For Eternity

Unto You Who Is The Only One Faithful

And

The Holy God Called The Truth!

Help Us To Attain To Your Glory, Lord!

Mold Us To Be In Character As Holy You!

Bless Us, Lord

With Grace And Mercy

And

Working Faith

And Peace And Sweet Rest

As We Confess

And

Repent Of Our Sins

And Strive

To Walk In Christ's Way

So That We Will Be Eternally Blessed!

Help Us To Walk Narrow

So That We May Fly Straight!

Lord,

Be Our Holy Navigator!

Lord,

By And In Christ's Faith

Please Lead Us

Through Heaven's Gates!

AMEN.

UNBELIEF: Forgiveness + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Believe And Trust Your Word!

Daddy Left!
Momma Lied!
She Loved Daddy Best!
Daddy Died!
She Couldn't Cry!
Drugs!
Alcohol!
Mired By Indulgence In Unapologetic Bad Behavior
AND
Gross Promiscuity, Too
Reality And Commonsense
Had Done A Powder
AND
That Is The Truth!

Rage Builds!
Bitterness Abounds!
No One Can Get Through To Her
AND
He - Forever Wild -
Constantly
Inwardly
At His Self Frowns
AND
In The Day Of His Unmasking
The Dam Bursts
AND
The Language Is Explosive
As He
Flowingly
Does Curse!

Rage!
Hurt!
Sorrow!
Sadness!
They Are All Spent
And He
And She
Two Strangers
Sit On The Same Park Bench
Overwhelmed
Seemingly Cleansed
AND
Each Then Explains
That Self-Hatred
Was The Catalyst
The Root
Of All 
That Brought Them Shame!
Their Hearts Would Not
The Heart Could Not ... Mend!

He Said: 
"Unforgiveness!"
She Said:  
"Unforgiveness!"
Two Strangers!
Same Problem!
What About Me?
What About You?

We Go To God!
We Confess Sin!
We Repent
AND
We Ask For Forgiveness!
God Forgives Us
BUT
We Can't Seem To Forgive Ourselves!
We Can't Seem To Believe
Almighty God ... At His Word!

So ...

We Don't Forgive Ourselves
Even Though We
- By Truth Himself -
Have Been Forgiven
And, So
Crushed
We - In Self-Loathing -
Giddily Go And Join
A Rutting Wild Goat Herd!

God Has A Sea!
Forgetfulness It Is Called!
Our Repented Of Sins
- Forgiven -
Go There
Never By The Living God Holy 
Ever To Be Recalled!

Our God Is The Lord 
Faithful
Eternal
Compassionate
Offering Grace
AND
Mercy
To Me 
AND
To You!
Accept What Is Freely Given
AND 
STOP
Letting Satan Get Away
With
- By Subterfuge -
Trying To Kill You!

God Said
You Are Forgiven!
Believe It!
It's True!
So
Sic The Lord On The Devil!
Trust The Lord!
Forgive Yourself
AND
Walk To Your Heavenly Father!
He Is Holding Out His Hand - Accept It!
He Eternally Cares For You!

Unforgiveness

- Against Self Or Another -

Kills!

Don't Die Twice

Through Unbelief

When The Offer

To Triumphantly Live

In Jesus Christ

Is Freely Available To You!

TRUST GOD!

BELIEVE THE WORD

 and

LIVE!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Pray For A Brother

A Sister

My Self

My Friend

And

The Unknown Other

For We - As One -

Seem Not To Believe

Or Understand

That Our Non-Acceptance

Through Disbelief

Of Your Complete Forgiveness

Your Loving Heart Offends!

Forgive Us Our Doubt!

Help Us To Truly Trust Your Living Word

That For Us

You Do Care!

Forgive Us Our Unbelief

And Help Us The Voice Of Forgiveness To Honor

With Belief

When It, We Do Hear!

Purge Us Of Our Self-Loathing

Which Daily Is Destroying

Trembling Hearts!

Help Us To

In Faith

Call The Devil The Liar That He Is

And

From The Perverseness Of Doubt

To Depart!

You Are God!

Your Word Is Ever True

So When We Say We Love You, Lord

Help Us To Believe

And

Walk In It

If

Indeed

We Will Honor And Bless You!

In Jesus' Name, Dear Lord

Heal Our Hurts

Seal Our Hearts With Love

And

Help Us

From Devilish False Pride

To Studiously Depart!

Grant Us The Promised Victory Over Sin!

AMEN.

Doubt Deals Death And Destruction!

God Says:
"Have Faith!"
Scientific Man Stresses:
"Indulge Doubt!"

God Says:
"Walk Not Be Sight!"
"You'd Better Recognize!"
Worldly-wise Man Boldly, Insultingly, Shouts!

Almighty God Made Man!
Finite Man Makes I-Seeing Gods!
God Says:
"Follow Me!"
Evolutionary Man Says:
"I Can't - Won't - Follow What My Eyes Can't See!"

God Says:
"Faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen!"

Faithless Man Says:
"Show Me ...
The Money
The Man
The Method
The Manner
The Means
The Modes
The Might
The Mold
The Majesty
The Ministry
The Misery
The Picked Cherry
The Soul's Sole
AND THEN
Just Maybe
I Will Be On "It!" Sold!

God Says:
"Come!"
Self-Made Man Says:
Sure ... After I See You
Feel You
Taste You
Touch You
AND
Hear You
In Full Cinematic Mode!
Unless There Is A Full Hollywood-Sanctioned Presentation
A Blockbuster Blow-Out
I Proffer
You Are Neither Worthy
Nor Worthwhile!
You're Wanting!
Wishful Thinking!
I Shall You Pass By!
Bye!  Bye!
I'm Out!

Alas! Alas ...

The Day Is Coming
AND
It's Already Here
When Men
Through Their Over-Wrought Eyes
Shall Be Led
By The Damned Devil
To The Unbelievers' Despair
When Those Who Saw
With The Blind Eyes Of Faith
Shall Hear
See
AND
Rise Up
To Meet Their Longed-For Lord
AND
God
In The Open Atmosphere!

The Wilfully Sighted
Shall Be Blinded By Glorious Light!
The Blind-Faith Faithful
Shall See Their Hope Realized
AND
In Joyous Celebration Cheer
AND
In That Moment
The Cry Of Despairing Hearts Shall Go Up:

Deceived! Deceived!

Rocks! Mountains!

Fall On Us!

Hide Us

For

The Wrath Of The Lamb Is Come

And

Our Doubt Has Cost Us

The Glorious Lot!

Deceived! Deceived By Satan's Own Hand

We Seeing, Saw Not

And

For This

We Shall Never Enter

Faith's Promised Land!

God Gave Eyes
BUT
He Asks Us To See Him 
Through The Believer's Love In Our Hearts
BY
Trusting His Word
AND
Not Worrying About
What He Has Not To Us Disclosed!

Faith Walks And Works!
Doubt Drags
Deceives
AND
Delivers Disaster!
Just "Ask" A Moses Hebrew
To Tell You Of 
Their Desert
AND
Promised Land
Odyssey Of Disaster!

Faith Earns!

Doubt Doesn't Discern!

*********

Doubt Is What

Faith Is Not!

Doubt Is

A Whole Lotta Talk

Which

At The Thought Of Walking

Balks!

*********

Trust God!

He Will Deliver You

AND

For You!
