VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Yes! It Is Jesus Christ The Lord! + PRAYER: Your Promise Is Your Word, Lord!

Jesus Christ Gave His Life For Me!
I Give My Heart To Him
AND
I Beseech Him That He Not Permit Anything
In My Life
Ever Again
To Keep Us Apart!
Lord, I Give My Will To Thee!

I Want To Touch My Lord's Hands!
I Want To Kiss His Feet!
I Want To Listen To His Heart!
AND
Say To Him
Will All My Love, Singing:

Holy, Thou Art!

I Think On Him
AND
Smile Outside ... Within
When I Recognize Accept Believe
That
He Is My Creator
Redeemer Friend
Sanctifier Justifier
Provider Sustainer
Glorifier Immortalizer
Teacher Prophet
Priest King
Helper Healer
Sealer Greeter
Leader Feeder
Lord God
Hope Joy
Trust Home
Rock Refuge
Beginning End
First Last
Future Present And Past
AND
Understand That His Dominion Is Eternally Vast!

I Can't Outrun Run Him!
I Don't Want To Hide!
 
I Can't Outlive Him!
I Don't Want To Forever Die!

I Can't Escape Him!
I Want To Live In His Home!
He Is Everywhere Present!
I Am Not Alone!

Why Should I Doubt Him?!
He Is Truth!

Why Should I Ignore Him?
He's Been Ever With Me Constant
Even Before I Had A Tooth!

When I Start To Be Sad
In His Love
I Am Made Glad! 

When For Sin I Am Sorry
He Takes Away My Consuming Worry!

I Think!
He Made My Brain!

I Cry!
He Made Water! 

I Eat!
He Made Food!

I Am To Die!
In Him, I Am Made Alive!

He Carried The Cross!
His Love For Me Fixed Him Upon It!

He Laid In Death's Cold Grave!
His Love For Me Got Him Out Of It!

He Is In Heaven - For Me - Interceding!
Victory Over Sin
IS 
The Song In Which My Faith In Him Is Leading!

His Goodness Gives Me Mercy!
His Mercy Gives Me Grace!
My Gratitude Takes That Grace In Hand
Sure
That There Will Be A Feast
AND
A Place 
Prepared For Believing-Me
In Heaven's Table Land!
With His Blessing
I Will Not His Name Again Disgrace!


PRAYER:

Lord, 
Keep Me Faithful
Enduring Trusting
Working True
So That In The Day Appointed
I Shall Rise Up
To Go Up
To Holy Heaven
To Live Forever With You!


Remember My Brethren
Those Near And Those Far
For Whom The Wide Door Of Mercy 
Is Still Standing Ajar!


Keep Them In Your Care, Lord! 
Provide For Each According To Need
Bless Them
Lead Them
Feed Them
And
Call Them Out From Walking Vainly Behind
Sinful Men's Entangling Useless Creeds!


Your Promise Is Your Word, Lord! 
Your Word Is Written In Innocent Blood
The Mark Of Your Character 
The Same Before During And Since

The World Destroying Flood!
You Are
You Were
You Will Be
You See
You Know
You Care
And
All Who Choose To Walk In Truth
Have Nothing From You To Fear!


Thank You For Yesterday's Blessings! 
In Faith, Lord
I Look Forward For Today's
And
If For Me
There Are No More Of Man's Tomorrows
I Am Yours ... Now ... Always
For
I Look Forward With Hope Certain
To Your Promise
Which To Me
Is 
That Dying In You
I Shall Rise To Be With You
To Spend
The Never-Ending Day!


I Believe You! 
Take Away From Me
All Traces Of Unbelief
And
Help Me Ever, Always
To Deny Satan
That Vile Liar
The Known Salvation Thief!

You Are The Omnipotent God Able!
I Love You, My Lord!
Have Mercy And Bless
And
Please Come Soon! 
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Damn The Devil!





Yesterday, I Learned
Men Can Really Behave As Fools
AND
Women Can Be Enormously Wicked!

AND

Women Talk Too Much
AND
Are Too Concerned With The Wrong Things
AND
Men Need To Stand Up For The Right
AND
Say "NO!"  To The Wrong
AND
Mean It!

The Adam And Eve Scenario Rides Again ... And Again!

The Truth Is ...

Having A Pocket Book
Does Not Make A Woman A Bank!
Having A Pen
Does Not Make A Man A Scribe!
Having A Heart
Does Not Make A Woman A Home
AND
Having A Heart
Should Never Force A Man
For A Woman's Maliciously Egregious Behavior 
To Atone!

Men Need To Learn That
If
Eating A Gourmet Catered Meal
Will 
Cost Your Life
It Is Time 
To Eat Dry Bread And Rancid Butter
AND
Live ... Free!

Women Need To Learn
That Modern Adam
- Just Like Adam Of Old Had -
Has
More Ribs To Spare
AND
The Creator God Still Has Creative Power

AND
Powerful Skills!

Almighty God
Does Not Like Ugly

Foolish
Wicked
Unkind
Hateful
Nor Evil Behavior!

AND

There Is Neither Fool
Foolish Heart
Nor Wicked Person

Nor Wicked Hand
Going Heaven
So Man And Woman
Wise Up!

An Ugly Mind In A Pretty Face
Does Not Make One Beautiful!
AND
A Foolish Heart In A Buff Body
Does Not Make One Smart!
Wise Up!

The Wisdom Of The Wise
Does Not Folly Disguise
AND
The Wiles Of The Wicked
Do Not Lead Supposed Saints
To Gloriously Heaven!

Remember These Things ...

  • Adam Didn't Want To Lose Eve's Companionship So He Willfully Sinned To Keep It
  • Solomon Loved Many Idolatrous Women Who Caused Him Against The Living God To Knowingly Sin
  • Samson Knowingly Consorted With A Prostitute And Wittingly Gave Up His Blessing To Gain Supposed Peace From That Whining Idolatrous Woman
  • King Herod Foolishly Promised And By Weakness Executed And Salvered John The Baptist's Head Because His Unmentionable Portion Was, By The Gyrations Of A Nubile Dancer, Inordinately Pleased
AND

If These Things
Do Not Teach Us Anything
Satan Will Continue Damnation's Song
- Enthusiastically - 
To Sing
Against Those Who Lust
AND
Indulge The Fleshy Fling!

We Should Be Aware By Now, That ...

Misery Likes Company!
Sin Hates Salvation!
Truth Always Survives Darkness!
Hate - Like Lies - Despises Light!
Men Need To Ever Speak 
AND
Stand In The Truth
For
They Are The Family Priests!
Women Need To Constantly Spread Heavenly Light
For
They Are Our Children's Teachers!

Man And Woman
- In Salubrious Combination -
Walking With The Lord
AND
Departing The Ways Of The Fraud
Are A Blessing
In The Society Of Man
AND THEY
Seeking Peace 
Through Faithfulness
AND
Doing Right
Having Their Steps Ordered
AND
Living Orderly In Christ For Christ's Sake
Shall 

At The Appointed Time
Live With The Lord Christ
In Eternal Peace In Paradise!

Brethren,
Let's Put Jesus First
AND
Take A Firm And Committed Step To The Christ
AND
Thereby
Damn The Devil
AND
His Demonic Devices!


A Spine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste!

NOW ... Is The Acceptable Time!

God Is Faithful!
Are You?

God Is Love!
Do You?

God Is Giving!
Won't You?

God Is Blessing?
Will You?

God Is Good!
Shouldn't You?

Almighty God Is ...

Worthy Of Our Praise!
Truthful To What He Says!
Wise: The Ancient Of Days
AND
There Is Nothing That We Can Do
That Will His Power
His Honor
His Glory
His Worship
Phase
Or Displace!

As His Children
Called Humbly By His Name
We Should Not That Name Profane
Neither Should We Indulge In Things That Bring Shame
By Participating In Satan's Soul-Corrupting Games!

The Holy God's Name Is His Character
His Clothing ... Like A Vest
Whereby He Is Known Of A Truth!
To This, The Believing Soul Can Attest
AND
Those Bearing His Name
Should In Verity Stand
IF
We Desire To Feast
AND
Live Forever
In The Heavenly Land!

Peace And Rest
Grace Aka Favor
Mercy And Provision
Forgiveness And Blessing
Known Salvation
Correction And Direction
Protection
AND
Walking Right Toward Perfection
Are Of Sweet Savor
To All Who Will Do The Will Of The Beloved
On The Straight And Narrow Way
While Faithfully Staying Occupied 
AND
Being Kind To Our Every Neighbor
Until Our Redeemer Shall Come!

Today Is The Start
Of The Rest Of Our Lives
AND
If We Have In Time Past
Walked Contrary To Truth
Because Of Satan's Bold Lies
NOW
Is The Acceptable Time
The Day Of Salvation
AND
We Should Repent Of The Past
AND
Our Lives On The Rock Of Refuge Cast
So That We May Be Broken
AND
Saved
When The Last Trumpet Shall Blast
AND
Time Is Forever Passed!

Be Not Proud ...

You Are Not Your Own!
Do Not Do A Lucifer
AND
Be By The Eternal God Cast Out
Never Able To Return To The Paradise Home!

Let Us:

  • Humble Ourselves Before The Living God
  • Listen To Truth 
  • Do The Will Of The Father
  • Walk In The Light Of Life
AND

In Humility ...

P  lead With The Lord
R  esist The Devil
A  ccept The Gospel Of Truth
Y  ield Our Will To The Sovereign Will Of Our Father

AND

We Shall Avoid Damnation's Impending
Fire And Brimstone Lake Disaster!

The Bottom Line ...

  • Playing With Sin Will Temporarily Thrill You!
  • Loving The Lord Christ Will Eternally Fill You! 
  • Faith In The Living Promise Will Abidingly From Fear Still You! 
  • Comeuppance For Sin Will Surely - With Base Finality - Bill You!
AND
  • Ignoring Dismissing And Denigrating Soul-Saving Truth Will Second-Death Kill You!


Death To All Mankind Is DNA Encoded
- The Cost Of Living -
It Is The Curse
BUT
Second-Death Avoidance Is Personal Faith's Choice -
It Is The Reversing-The-Curse Blessing!


My Faith Is Built On Nothing Less
Than Jesus Christ
The God Of Righteousness
The Savior Dear
The Lord Of Life
Who 
By God's Grace
I Shall Not Deny!

PRAYER: Come, Holy Spirit!


I Love You, Lord
And
I Love Your Holy Word!
Please Grant Unto Me
The Attendant Wisdom
So That I
With Understanding
I Will Take The Knowledge Gained
To Do All According To Your Will

To Help Further The Work
That Blesses The Living Kingdom!


Please, Lord
I Am Inviting The Holy Spirit
Into My Heart

For The Comforter To Work In!
I Submit My Will!


I Am Listening, Lord!
Please Help Me To Hear
That Still Small Voice Of God 
Who Will Teach Me
And
Lead Me Into All Righteousness
So That At The Dawning Of The Great Day
I Shall Be Forever Blessed!


Father,
I Am A Living Witness To 
And
A Grateful Recipient Of Your Grace
And
I Beseech You, Beloved Father
To Fix Me
So That I May Arrive Safely
To Reside In My Own
Christ-Prepared Place!


Please Remember My Brethren, Lord
Many Of Whom Are Struggling
To Get Out Of Darkness
And
To Get Into To Holy Light!
Protect Them And Keep Them In Your Care
Through The Struggle So Real
And
Bless Them, I Beseech You
So That They Do Not Turn Away
From The Path Of Truth
Because Of Satan-Inspired Opposition 
And
Known Ungodly Fear!


Please Help Us All, Lord
To Extend The Welcome Mat
With A Gracious Invitation
So That The Spirit Of Truth
Will Direct Us And Chide
Lead Us And Abide With Us
So That When The Day Of Vengeance Comes
We, Like True Sun Flowers
Will Turn Toward Son Of Righteousness
And
Not Run To The Rocks And Hills For Refuge!


Abide with Us, Lord! 
Help Us To Abide In You
For
You Are The God Holy
Faithful Kind
Blessing
Almighty
Saving
And
Ever True!


Please Hear Our Prayer
And
Grant Us Your Surpassing Peace
For We Ask All
In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, We Await The Consummation!

I'm Leaning On You, Lord
So That I Do Not Slide
Into Sin
With That Destroyer
And Thereby

Cause My Soul And Damnation 
To Collide!

I Believe Your Word, Father!
I Trust In The Efficacy Of The Blood
And
I Am Pleading For The Promised Salvation
That Is Lost
To Those Who Choose To Wallow
In Iniquity's Mire And Mud!


In You, Lord
I Have Peace And Rest
And
Mercy And Grace
The Known Perks Of The Blessed
And
I Desire To Live
In That Holy Land
And I Beseech You, My Father
Please Help Me In Your Truth
Ever Faithful
To Confidently Stand!


I See By Faith
That Has Pure Sight
So In Hope
I Look To The Light Of Life
The Lord Of Creation
And

I'm Begging, Lord
Begging
For Help
For My Self
My Family Friends
Community City
The Wide World!
Lord, Let The True Gospel Be Accepted
So That It Will Bless My Backsliding Nation

And Remove Them
From The Damned Goat Herd!

Father,
Fables Are The Thing Fabulous
And
Truth ... The Thing Disdained
When Truth Is The Thing Most Precious 
And

Should At All Costs Be Obtained!
Help Us!

Grant Unto Us Spiritual Hearing
That Will Indeed Bless
As With That Hearing
The Hearer Becomes A Doer
By Spiritual Discernment
And Is
By Your Holy Hand
Forever Blessed!


Help Us Not To Be Complacent
Believing The Lie
That Man Is Saved In Your Kingdom By Rote
When Truth Is
Citizenship Comes By Our Election

Our Choosing To Accept The Invitation
To Be There
Our Preparing For Salvation
The Ground That Is Our Heart
Our Trusting Our Instructor
Our Studying For The Exam
Our Doing The Will Of The Examiner
And
Walking In The Light
And
Away From The Dark

That Surely Our Spiritual Prosperity Blights!

Lord, Help Us To Get Our Garment
Our Character 

Ready
And
Help Us To Be Ready And On Time
For The Big Day Of Examination
Before The Lord Gracious
Holy
Divine!


Without You, Lord
We Have Nothing! 
With You, Lord
We Have All
That Amazing Acquisition
For Us Descendants 
Us, Repentant Children
Of Those Who Caused The Fall!


Let Your Grace Be Sufficient For Us!
Let Your Truth Be Our Bread!
Let Your Word Be Our Pillow!
Lord,
Please, In Your Gentle Hand
Hold Our Hearts And Our Heads!


We Do Not Know You As We Ought!
Lord,
Let That Condition Change Today!
Help Us To Approach Unto You
In Humility And Longing
As We Say Our Heartfelt, Pleading, Prayers!


Please Accept Us
In Our Sorrow For Known Sin
And

Correct Us To Walk Aright!
Please Bless Us And Protect!
Please Feed Us

Guide Us 
Lead Us
Help Us On Your Ever-Present Goodness
Daily
Moment By Moment
To Gladly Reflect Upon And Expect!


We Love You, Lord
And

Look To The Great Day Of Consolation
For That Blessed Consummation
When We Are Forever One!


We Ask These Few Blessings
In The Great Name Of The Holy Jesus

Our Savior, Lord And Expected King!
Please Come Soon! 
AMEN.

THE HOLY GRAIL: The Living Word!

The Word Of Almighty God
In The Hand Is Bread
In The Heart Is A Light
In The Mouth Is A Sword
In The Ear Is Truth
In The Eye Is Sight
Leading The Way
Through The Dark Night!

The Word Of Almighty God
Gives Faith
- To The Believer -
AND

That Faith Gives Courage
AND
That Courage Gives Strength
To Stand Against The False Report
Given By The Lying Spies
-  Hog-Tied To The Devil -
Who Love The Baleful Influence
Exerted Over The People
Travelling
To The Promised Land
Who
- By Feeding Doubt -
Trust Not The Word Of God
BUT

Trust Instead
The False Word Of Satan-Inspired
Willful
Disobedient Men!

Don't You Know That ...

Satan Is The Liar
AND
The Father Of Lies
AND
His Words Are Truth Reversed!?!
He Loves And Lives To Make The Lie
AND
Like Him
His Workers Are By The Eternal God Cursed!

The Truth Of Almighty God
IS
The Sharp Once-Swung Twice-Cutting Sword
AND
Body-Protecting Shield
Guiding Light
Healthful Bread
Thirst-Quenching Water
AND
Soul-Protecting Seal
AND
All Who Follow
With Conscience Yielded
AND
With Living Working Enduring Faith
Will Never
From The Promised Land Be Left Out
For Having Made Shipwreck Of Sure Salvation
Through Non-Working Faith!

My Brother!
My Sister!
You Who In Jesus Christ Believe
Let The Preserved Word Of God Be Your Fact Checker!
Check Out The Truth!
Don't Let Yourself By Popular Word Be Deceived!

Just Because The Important Folk Of The Hour
Are Sharing Out Free Baked Fish
Don't Be Greedy
AND
Just Cut And Swallow! 

Check The Good Book
For The Seasoning Ingredients
AND
If They're Not There
Cast Away That Fish
AND
Tell Your Brethren
Don't Buy!
Don't Bite!
Don't Swallow!
AND
Don't The Loud Rabble
Like Youth Callow
Follow!

Lies Cause
Doubt
Brings Fear
Carries
Unbelief
Which Leads To Sorrow And Death
AND
Never Blessings
The Believing Heart To Immeasurably Cheer!

A Little White Lie Is Black!
A Blackened Truth Is Never A Lie!
Truth Cannot Die
AND
The Lie
AND
The Liar
Cannot Forever Live!

Don't Believe Me?!
Ask The Twelve Hebrew Spies!
Ten Lied And Ten Died!
Two Spoke Truth And Two Prospered
AND
All Those Persons Who Believed
The Lie And The Liars
Wandered In The Desert
AND
Became Dust
For Other Men To Walk Over!

Do You Want To Know How To Detect A Lie
AND
Recognize The Liar?!
Immerse Yourself In The Plain
The Unspun
The Uncolored
The Unadulterated Truth Of
The Living God Who 
Is
The Sure Way
The Plain Truth
AND
The Holy Light
That Gives
Life!

If You Do
    When You Do
         As You
That Dragon
Satan
The Devil
That Piercing Serpent
Cannot
Your Soul Assail
AND
Of Achieving Heaven
At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Not Fail!

The Word

The Truth
Of
Almighty God
Is
The Hidden In Plain Sight
Holy Grail!

PRAYER: Lord, Feed Your Children ...!





Father,
You Are Love
And
You Have Promised
Never To Let Me Go
And, So
For Peace
And
Because Of Him Who Is My Peace
I Rest My Longing Soul In Thee!


Lord,
I Am Tired Of Sin
And
I Need Your Promised Rest
For, In You

My Soul Is Blessed!


I Am Hungry For You
For You Are Truth!
Please Feed Me
With Food Fit For Me!


I Have Been Walking As One Blind
And
I Need You, Lord
For You Are Light ... Guide Me!


As Goes All Mankind
And
By Your Appointing
- As The Curse For Sin -
I Am Slowly Dying
And
I Need You
For You Are Life!
Please Make Me Over
So That In The Fullness Of Time
Unto Everlasting Life
I May By Right In Christ Cross Over!


Lord, 
I Approach Unto You Boldly
- Nothing Wavering - 
Calling Upon The Merits Of The Holy Jesus
Who Took My Death
To Give Me His Life!
Please Accept The Innocent Blood
For
He Who Shed It
IS
The Beloved
The Only Begotten Son
Shiloh, Himself
The Prince Of Peace
The Shepherd Of Rest
In Whom This Believing Soul Is Blessed!


Father,
I Come For My Miracle!
I Am Expecting That Which Is Impossible
To Me And My Kind
And
I Expect It, Lord
Because You Are Almighty God
Faithful Forgiving
Blessing Correcting
Providing Guiding
Unchanging
And
Abiding!


You, Lord, Are My God
And
With A Humble Contrite
And
A Sorrowing-For-Sin Heart
I Seek To Touch The Divine
Who Has Everlasting Love
And
Great Compassion
For Wayward Wandering
Disobedient And Transgression Mankind!


Father,
Take Me By The Hand
And
Show Me Your Ways!
Take Me By My Heart
And
Teach Me The Truth!
Take Me By My Eyes
And
Pry Me Away From The Lusts
That Blind Me To Holy Light
And
Unstop My Itching Ears
And
Heal Them With The Balm Of Gilead!

Place My Feet, Lord
On Straight Paths, Narrow
And
Lead Me To The Green Pasture
Attended By Sweet Water
And
Anoint My Head With The Oil
That Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
Fill My Cup Of Blessing
To Sure Overflowing!


My Mind, Lord 
Is Fixed
On That Place Called Glorious
Because
I Desire To Spend
The Never-Ending Day With You!

I Desire To See You As You Are
And
I Desire To Know You Just As You Know Me!

Until Then, Lord
Help Me To Keep The Song Of The Redeemed
In My Converted-To-Christ Heart! 
Help Me To Keep The Light Of The Glorious City
In My Healed Eyesight! 
Help Me To Hear
And
To Join In The Singing Of The Song Of Jubilee
Sung By The Hearts Of The Faithful
Those Blessed Of The Lord!
We Are The Children Believing!


Remember, Dear Father
The Other Children
In The Various Flocks 
Who Know The Voice Of Jesus Christ
And
Who Are Listening
For That Soft Voice
To Become The Loud Cry
Calling Them Out Of The Confusion
That Is Babylon!
Help Them To Deny The False Prophets
That Preach Lies!
Help Them The Evil One
To Forcefully Deny!

Please, Lord
Continue To Feed Your Children
With Food Suitable
For Their Ages And Stages
And
Ever For Their Spiritual Prosperity
And
Eternal Blessing
And
Let Not The Glitter And The Glamor Of
This Known Dying World
Ever To Us Be Anything But
Fleeting And Undesirable!


Please Let Hope
- Like Freedom In Christ - 
Be Our Song And Our Service
For
We Love You, Lord!
Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home
Even As I Ask These Few Blessings
In The Matchless Name Of
Jesus Christ The King!
Harken, Lord, And Do For Us
What Only The Holy God Can Do
For You Are The Living God
Eternal
Wise
True!
Come Soon!
AMEN.
