VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Church Has Leprosy!?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Choose ... You!

One Bright Day
In The Sight Of All
Miriam, Dear, Dear, Miriam
Broke Out In ... Gasp!
SPOTS!

S peaking Jealously And
P ridefully And In Direct
O position To Obvious
T ruth
S preads The Spores Of Sin!


Miriam Is A Godly Woman!
Woman Is ... Significantly 
A Church!
Miriam Is A Good Church
BUT
Good Church Got The Taint
Got Leprosy
AND
Good Woman Got Knocked Off Her Perch!

Leperous Woman Church
Is 
Shut Out
Shut Out Of The Congregation
The Camp Of God
Until Her Contagious Condition
Can Be Cured!

The Realm

Outside Of The Household Of Faith

Is Cold!

It Is The Place Of The Dying!

The Place Where Those

In Opposition To God's Truth

Are Bold!

The Leprosy
The Contagion
Affects All That It Touches
AND
Significantly
The Congregation Of God
The Church Of God
Cannot Grow
Grow In Grace
While Leprosy ... The Contagion Of Sin
Known Sin
Willful Sin
Is Welcomed
Practiced
Promulgated
By All Adherents Within!

Outside The Camp Of God
BUT YET
In The All-Knowing 
All-Seeing
Ever-Present God's Holy Sight
The Church
The Woman ... Falling ... Fallen
Felled By Sin
Can Be Set Apart
Counselled
Healed Back Into Communion
AFTER
In Willingness
Showing Brokenness
AND
Being Submissive To The High And Holy Power
She Admits Her Sin
Afflicts Her Soul
AND
Repents Of The Wrong-Doing
Casting Herself
On The Mercy Of The Eternal Faithful One God
Accepting The Just Chastisement
AND
Wills To Be As One Faithful Herself
Bowing Down And Worshiping
Praying Praising
Believing Loving Trusting
Working Watching And Waiting
Hopeful ... Of The Promised Restoration
AND
Looking For The Priest
The High Priest Of Our Profession
To Come And Pronounce Her Clean
AND
Restore Her To The Dominion!
What Peace!
What Glorious Peace
Compliments Of The Savior
The Living Holy God!

Know Ye Not That ...

Presumptuous Sin Is A Parasite
Which, Encouraged
Will Lead To Sure Death
Death 
As Ordained Once To All Man
AND
Death Designated Second
To Be Avoided At All Costs
By Choosing To Follow
The Ways
The Laws Of The Holy God
AND
Never The Lawlessness
The Wiles Of 
The Known Fraud!

Please Do Not Let Self
Sell You Polished Brass For Bright Gold!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
Wilderness
The Dominion Of Darkness
The Camp Of The Destroyer
The Place Of Serpents
Scorpions
Raptors
Scavengers
Bitter Water
Idolatry
Death
Destruction
Nothing Holy!

Outside The Camp Of God
Is
The Camp Of The Lost Cause!

Got Leprosy?!

Are Scabs On The Body Showing?!

Call Christ Jesus

The Great Physician He

The One Holy

The One Only

Who Sacrificially Died

To Save Thee

On Mount Calvary!

Did You Know:

• A Group Of Vultures Is A Committee!
• A Flying Flock Of Vultures Is A Kettle!
• Vultures Feeding On A Carcass Is A Wake!

Do The Math!

**--**--**--**

Satan And The Legion Of Doom

In Committee

Plot Your Demise

And

Encourage You To Sin

Placing You Squarely In A Kettle

Obviously Filled With Hot Water

Marinating Covert Overt Lies!

When You Are Being Severely Punished
- As Is To Be Expected -

For Your Own Sin

And

Probably Dying

And

In A Lost Condition

Eventually Dead

Those Beings That Soon Won't Be

Conduct A "Happy" Wake

Lauding You As Their Prize

For Having Fallen Into The Trap

Of

The Wily Fraud
And

God-Fake

Satan The Snake!

Wise Up, People!

Soul Salvation Is At Stake!

Get On The Gospel Train

AND

Avoid The Fire And Brimstone Lake!

Leave Satan And His Kind

To Their Scheduled Date

With The Burning Lake!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Desire Health!
I Desire Cure!
I Desire Your Blessing
And
To Receive
All That You Have For The Faithful!
All That You Have In Heaven's Store!

Lord,
I Humble Myself Before You
I Bow, Now
So That I Will Not Break Later!
I Choose
- Of My Own Free Will -
To Obey You
And
To Live To You, True!

Forgive Me My Trespasses!
Forgive Me My Sin!
Bless Me With All Blessing
And
Correcting Me
When I Go Straying!

Bless Me To Do Your Will!
Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight!
Grant Unto Me Your Favor, Lord
The Grace That Will Give To Me Daily
Your Holy Light!

Remember Our Brethren
Those In Other Congregations
Other Families
Other Flocks
Those In Other Lands
Those Who Will To Know Christ
Those Who Find Your Love A Delight!

Lead Us, Lord
Into All Truth!
Grant Unto Us
Blessed Peace And Sweet Rest
Even Though In This Life
We Do Struggle
Even Though In A Crucible
We Take Sleep
And
Achieve That Which Is 
- To Carnal Man -
Not Dignified Rest!

You, Lord
Are Our Portion!
You, Lord
Are Our Hope!
You, Lord,
Are Our Sovereign
And
In Jesus Christ's Name
We Shall Our Lives
To You
Devote!

Hear Our Prayers, Lord
And
Have Mercy And Bless
For We Ask All
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Light Of Life Delights!

The Omniscient God Of Love 

Is

My Hope

My Help!

The Innocent  Lamb Of God 

Is

My Savior
My Beginning
My End!

The Holy Spirit Of God 

Is

My Teacher

My Comforter
My Guide!

The Holy Angels Are My Companions

My Good Influencers
My Protection! 

The Conquering King

Is

My Redeemer

My Friend
My Lord
AND
My God!

The Word Of God 

Is

My Clean Lamp 

Giving Off Bright And WHite Light
Showing Me Where To Plant My Feet
On The Straight And Narrow Way 

To Eternal Life! 

I Have No Need To Fear Circumstance
For The Eternal God
The Lord Of My Life Is In Control
AND
He Not A Liar
Nor A Purveyor Of Chance Or Happenstance

BUT
The Lord Of Life
The God Of Order
The God Who Made All
Whose Wisdom Is Holy
Not Flawed!

My Shepherd

Is

The Lord Most High

The Shepherd Of Rest In Whom Is No Lie
The Master Of The Winds
The Waves 

The Sea
The God Of My Salvation
The God-Man Who Left Heaven
AND
Lived In Time
To Save A Wretch
A Sinner
Like Me
Like Thee!

I Am A Child Of The Eternal God
Because I Have 

Chosen 

To Forsake The Ways Of The Fraud
Because 

My Teacher, My Guide
The Spirit Of God
Who In Me Now Does Abide
Called Me Out Of Darkness
AND
Into Holy God's Marvelous Light
Having Convicted Me Of My Sin
Having Convinced Me  

Known Sin 

To Confess

AND
To Repent Of The Pass
AND
To Forsake The Unholy Way
Having Converted Me To Truth

AND
Unto Walking On The Straight And Narrow Way!

He Is The Same Spirit Of God

Who Shows Me The Lord Of Love
Who Loves Me Sacrificially
AND
Encourages Me Daily
Moment By Moment
To Love The Lord Knowledgeably
Knowingly
Self-Sacrificially
Completely
Faith Working Actively
Never Complacently
Ever Truthfully
Never Conveniently
AND
To Live In The Light Of Life
AND
Never To Find Life In Gross Darkness A Delight!

The Holy Angels
Excelling In Strength
Are My Influencers For Good
My Protection

As I Walk Towards
The City Of God
Staying
On The Straight And Narrow Way!

They Can't Force Me To Do Good!
They Can't Stop Me From Doing Wrong
BUT
They Will Influence Me Towards

The Good
The Blessed
The Best
BECAUSE
I Have Given To Jesus Christ The Lord

- My Lord -
My Will And My Way
AND THEY- The Workers With A Blessed

Vested

Interested In My Salvation -
Labor Faithfully
To Help Me To Stay Shielded
Hedged In By Truth
Protected From Error
On The King's Highway!

The Glorious Lord

Is

My Light

My Joy
My Song
My Day
My Delight
My Bread
My Water
My Blessing
My Cure
My Hope
My Help
My Way To Heaven
The Door Secure!

The Lord Is My Portion!

The Blessing of The Lord Makes Me Rich
Adds No Sorrow
Makes Me Free
Gives Me Sight
Takes Away Sin's Blight
AND ISTo My Soul

A Constant Delight!

In Jesus Christ
I Am Safe!
I Live Though I Die!
I Sing Though I Cry!
I Rest Even If I Can't Sleep!
I Am Blessed Though I'm By Man Cursed!
I Run The Race For Life Even If I Can't Walk Through Life
I Stand In Truth Even If I Were Bed-Bound
I Live In Light Though Darkness Surrounds!
I Am Safe
In Christ Jesus!

In Jesus Christ
I Am As A Tree
Planted
By The Water!
My Leaves
Shall Not Wither
AND
I Shall Bear Good Fruit
In Season
AND
All That I Do
According To The Will Of The Great I AM
Shall Prosper
Because
He Is Not A Man

AND

He Cannot Lie!

I Have The Spilled Blood Of

The Innocent Guaranteeing It!

My Portion In Eternal Life

Rests ... Rests

Firmly Upon It

AND

I Am Now Loving And Living For Jesus

Because

He Loves Me First

AND

I Desire To Receive And Share

His Eternal Joy

AND

With Him Enjoy It!

Lord,

Keep Me Faithful!

You, Alone, Are Able!

Bless Me To Do Thy Will

And

Not To Fall Away

To Lying Satan's Fables!

In Jesus Christ's Name

Grant Me The Purchased

Over-Sin Victory!

AMEN!

I Call Him Master, Lord And God! + PRAYER: Lord, Let Your Glory Shine!

Through All The Changing Scenes Of My Life
There Has Been One Constant
AND

- Against The Truth -

I Cannot Tell The Lie!

Through Cock-Ups

Carelessness
Wilfullness 

Outright Sinfulness
Sorrow Grief
Joy Gladness
Peace War
Sickness And Health
Want And Abundance
Jesus Christ The Righteous
- My Savior, My Lord And My God -
Has Ever Always
Been There!

Jesus Christ Cares!

I Know Jesus Christ Cares
Because 

He Cares For Me!

I Took Jesus' Love
For Granted
AND

Such A Thing Should Never Be!

The Faithful God
So Constant
So Giving
So Blessing
So True
Is The One I Call Master
AND
You Should Call Him That Too!!

He Sees!
He Hears!
He Knows My Fears!
I Know I Can Trust Him
AND
That Is The Thing One Thing About Me That
Satan. Most. Fears!

I Was Young

AND
Now I Am Old
AND
With Sin
I No Longer Play Bold!

My Head Was Hot!
My Heart Was Cold
AND
I Thought Nothing Of
Running With The Goat Herd!

I Did Things My Way

AND
I Almost Paid The Cost Of Living Price
BUT
Almighty God Is Faithful
AND
I Have The Promised New Life In Christ!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Today ... To Me ... Is Free
So
I Thread Through Life Softly
AND
Repair Often To The Man Who Conquered Death
On A Cruel Tree On Mount Calvary!

I ... By My Own Sin

Put Jesus Christ There!
Of The Price Of Sin, I Have A Fair Share
BUT
I Am Committed
To Not Letting His Suffering
- In My Case -
Leave In The Glorious Kingdom
An "Empty Chair!"

Salvation Came Down
AND
Bought Pardon For Me
AND IConvinced Convicted Converted
Accept
The Royal Heavenly Blessing 

Graciously

Mercifully

Conferred Upon Me!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Keep Me Faithful

Honest Bold Strong True

So That I May Tell The Good News

To My Brethren

All About You!

Place Truth In My Inward Parts!

From My Face

Let Your Glory Shine! 

You Are My Lord Beloved

At Your Table

By Your Grace

With You

I Desire ... Forever

To Dine! 

AMEN.

Almighty God's Glory!

Almighty God's Goodness
Almighty God's Glory
AND
Almighty God's Character
Are One And The Same
AND
We Who Are Christ's Followers
Should Never The Worthy Name Profane!

Almighty God's Name Is Glorious!
Almighty God's Character Is Good!
Almighty God's Goodness Is Eternal

AND
It Cannot Be Withstood
AND
All Who Shall Behold Him
With Uncovered Eyes
Will Have Acquired His Image 

Renewed
Before
Jesus Christ Breaches
The Eastern Skies!

Brethren, BelovedYou Who Love

Honor Worship

Obey

Work With
AND
Praise The Holy God
Let Not The Damned Deceiver
Encourage You To Believe
That Giving Glory To The Living God
Is Actually A Fraud!

Man Is A Flower
Attached To The Grass
AND
When The Sun ... In Force
Shines Upon It
It Does Not Long Last
BUT
The Man Who Takes Jesus Christ

The Son Of God

For The Shepherd
The Shielding Hand Over The Cleft In The Rock
The Strong Tower Of Shelter
Shall Not Perish Like As Those
In The Wild Goat Flock
Who Deny The Sovereignty Of The Savior
The Power Of The God Of Peace
The Wisdom Of The God Of The Ages
The Host Of The Bride Groom's Wedding Feast!

Ask Of The All-Knowing Lord ... Wisdom
Accept From The Blessing Lord ... Grace
Take From The Sustaining Lord ... The Share Of Daily Faith

AND

Strive For The Mastery

That Victory Over Sin
AND

You Shall Never Be

No Way

No How
A Cast Out Damned For Eternity Disgrace!

All That Is For Our Good

IS

For Almighty God's Glory!

LOVE GIFT: Gas-Lighting: Adoration: Appreciation?!

When Someone Gives You

A Gift

Let Some Appreciation Show!

Do Not Be An Ingrate!

They Do Not Owe You Anything!

Your Gratitude Is Their Reward!

Let Them Know! 

* * * * *

She Was So Kind To Me!

I Am Getting Her A Gift To Say "Thanks!" 

Whoo Hoo! 

How Special!

... Give God A Gift, Too!

What Did You Say?! 

I Didn't Stutter! 

I Said You Should Give God A Gift, Too!

He Is Kind To You Every Moment Of 
Every Single Day!

We Give Gifts To Those Who Give Us Gifts

And They Give Us Gifts In Return

And Gifts Given Are Given

Time And Again

With Us Always Expecting 
A Package Bearing Our Names! 

What A Shame! 

There Is Problem With That! 

Actually ... 

It Is Quite Mercenary

For It Is Done With Intent! 

You Give To Get! 

You Live In The Land I-Expect!

Let's Raise Up Our Eyes A Bit!

Let's Think About God For A Minute! 

A Gift From Almighty God Is Not Owed For!

It Is Truly Free! 
That Gift Is Love ... Given

With No Hope Of Repayment

For

It Is A Blessing Received From The Eternal God

Given Graciously For Our Good

For

It Is He Who Created Us

AND

It Is He Who Gives Us Our Necessary Food!

I Agree With You!
We Have Really Bad Attitudes!

If I May Be So Bold
It Is Just Like That Lady

Asking For Advice

That I Read About

Who Is Grossly Offended 

Because Her Husband

INTERRUPTS HER

Twenty Times A Day

To Say To Her:

"I Love You!"

AND

Though Their Relationship Is Considered
Good Cooperative Loving 

Giving Faithful Kindly Helpful
AND

Committed 

She is Concerned That

He May Be Gaslighting Her!

Let's Forget About Her! 

That's Exactly How We Think Of The Living God!

Wait A Minute!

What Is Gaslighting?!

The Five Dollar Interpretation Is:

Manipulating You Into Doubting Your Self

Your Sanity

Your Reality

Aka

Mind Control!

That Is Sick!

God's Love Cannot Ever Do That!

If You Really Want To Get Ridiculous

It Is Actually Man

Gaslighting God

Compliments The Benighted Manipulations Of

Satan The Fraud!

We Try To Remake God Into Our Fallen Image

AND

We Take Almighty God's Gifts For Granted!

We Take The All-knowing God For Granted, Too!

We Take The Ever-Present God's Gifts As Our Due

AND

Often Look At Him Askance

Wondering

Why Is There Only One Gift?!

Only A Small One?!

Where Is The Big(ger)(gest) One?!

Why Is One Not Two And Three?! 

Gratitude Is Always Appreciated

BUT
Not Rumblings Of Discontent

About Gifts Not Good Enough 

Big Enough 

Costly Enough

Powerful Enough 

Fast Enough

Important Enough

Showy Enough!

We Need To Tell Our Jesus:

Lord, 

You Are Blessing Enough And More!

You Are Giving Enough!

I Have Some In Store

For Your Gifts Are Sure!

Please Keep Me Forever Safe

Inside Your House!

You Are The Key To Me!

I Am At Your Door!

Enter My Heart's Door! 

Because ...

If The Lord Had Not Of His Blessings Given Unto Us

Our Lives ... By Now

Will Have Been Truly Spent!

Let's Take A Moment To Say:

Thank You, Lord!

The Gift Is Appreciated!

The Multitudinous Gifts Are Appreciated!

You, Lord

Are Greatly Loved

And

Truly Appreciated!

I Appreciate Your Love!

I Love You!

Help Me To Love You More And More

Even If

No More Of Your Magnificent Gifts

Were For Me

In Store! 

I Am Grateful To You

For Thinking On Me

For Blessing Me With Your Bounty

For The Life To Me Given

That I've Often Carelessly Misspent!

I Love You!

I Give You, Me!

For My Ingratitude

I Sincerely Repent!

I Listening, Lord!

Please Help Me To Really Appreciate

As I Daily Labor

All That You Have Set Before Me

In The Here And Now

And

All That I Read About

In The Living Oracle Of Truth

That I Hope For

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Expect To Gloriously Experience

- The Ultimate In Gift-Receiving -

Home With You

In The Beautiful Land!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Humbly Plead!

AMEN.

**--**--**--**

Give Almighty God 

Some Love Now ... TODAY! 

PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Hold The Fort Until Jesus Christ Comes!

Father,

I Come To You With Love

Accepting Your Love

And

Because You Are Almighty God

And

Able

And

Ever Faithful!

Of A Truth, Lord

I Cannot Of Your Word

Indulge In The Sin Of Doubt

Because In Daily Life Now

Fulfilment Of Your Word

Is Constantly Screaming Out

That The Times Are Rapidly Changing

That The Coming Of The Great King Is Near

And

All Who Desire

By Your Love To Be Sealed

Must In This Darkening Day

Our Will And Way To Your Keeping

We Must Surely Yield!

Lord,

Truth Is Indeed Into The Street Cast Down!

Light Is Become Darkness

And

Sweet Is Become Bitter, Indeed

And

Those Who Chose By Your Grace

To Live Godly Lives

Are Seeing Intolerance

And

Persecution

Play Into Their Living-For-Christ Lives!

And, Lord

We Are Also Seeing Amongst Your Called People

The Stridency That Overzealousness Creates

And

The Laxity That Complacency Incubates

And

Those Who By Faith

Choose To Wear Your Meek, Serving And Gentle

Thus-Saith-The Lord, Spirit

Are Being Harassed

And

From Your Congregation

Being Roundly Hounded Out!

We Are Losing Our Way, Lord

And

We Are Against Your Will

Indulging The Spirit Gainsay

And

Among Us Are Those

Who Are Dispensing The Word For Profit

With

Priests, Pastors, Teachers

Studiedly Living Life

The Balaam Son Of Beor Way

Uncaring

Of What The Spirit Of Truth

And

The Preserved Word

Immutably Says!

Have Mercy On Us, Lord!

Our Hands Are Unclean!

Our Garments Are Filthy!

Our Hearts Are Not Right!

Our Ears Are A Might Itchy!

Our Tongues Are Speaking Things Obscene

And

We Are Setting Up Confederacies

With The Known Opposers Of Your Truth

Which Will See The Self-Confident

The Careless

The Unconverted

The Body-Comfort Seekers

To The Idol

At The Sound Of All Kinds Of Music

With Alacrity 

Bending Their Knee!

Lord, 

Please Help Us

Who Choose Your Truth To Believe 

To Stand Faithful

Working

Watching

Waiting

Praying And Persevering 

So That By The Fickle Winds Of Change

On The People-Sea

We Are Not Turned About

To Live An Abundant Life Ignorantly!

Help Us, Please, Lord

To Cast Out All Doubt

And

Please Root Us

And

Ground Us In All Truth

So That In Us

There Is No Shadow Of Turning From You

And

Not Even Satan, Himself

Can Stand Against Us

As We Strive For The Mastery

- That Assured Victory Of Sin

As We Travel On

The Straight And Narrow To Heaven Way!

Help Us, Lord,

I Beseech You

- In True Sorrow For Known Sin -

To Sigh And To Cry

Against The Practiced Abominations

In The Church

Because

Judgment Begins In The House Of God

For

We Faithful And Believing Your Word

Have No Desire

To Despise Your Great Salvation

Because

We Will To See Sweet Jesus In Peace

To Hear Those Glorious Words

Faithful Servant!

Well Done!

Enter Into The Joy

Of

Your Lord!

Thank You, Lord

For Your Blessings Of This Day!

Thank You, Lord

For The Living, Unchanging, Word

That Shows Us The Way Clear

That Tells Us What You Would Have Us Know

And

Hear

And

Do

And

Become!

Thank You, Lord

For The Holy Word That Says

Jesus Christ The King

Is Coming!

Get Ready!

Redeem The Time!

Satan Death Hell And Sin

Are Soon To Have Their Pay Day

And

Eternity For The Faithful

Is As Sure As Your Forgiveness Of Sin

Power!
