Deserving Is A Two-Footed Beast!

Life Is Interesting Always! 

Sometimes We Get What We Want

Sometimes What We Need 

Sometimes What We Deserve

And 

Sometimes What We Never Expected

Or Thought To Ever Receive! 

Just The Facts ...

Needs Are Never Wants! 

Wants Are Sometimes Needs! 

Deserving 

Is 

A Two-Footed Beast 

Which Shows Up As Just Deserts ... Or Reward

And

Unthought Of 

Is 

Just Because Our Lord God 

Is

Good Always

And

Shows That He Loves Us

And

Desires That Our Faith Be Cemented

Our Trust Anchored 

And 

Our Love Bear Beautiful, Bountiful Blooms Of 

Blessed Increase! 

How Do You Stand!?! 

Where Should You Stand!?! 

Why Are You Standing!?! 

Do You Need To Sit!?! 

Is It Time For Your Bad Attitude To Quit 

And 

For You To Recognize That Fleshly Demise Is Your Domain 

And

Dare Yourself To Submit To The Lord

The Father, The King

The Judge 

And

In His Ways Walk So That 

Choice Blessings You May Rightfully Expect 

And 

Humbly Claim!?! 

Obedience Pays! 

Disobedience Costs! 

Love For Truth Is The Catalyst! 

Faith Makes The Call 

And

Enduring Trust In God, Dear One

Ensures The Heavenly Reward! 

Beloved, 

Let's Commit Our Way To The Only One, Jesus Christ

Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves 

And 

Is Able To Usher Us Into The Land Called Beulah Aka Beautiful! 

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

Peace Is Free! 

Conscience .... Hot Iron ... Seared!?!

"Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide!" 

That Sounds Easy Enough! 

But ... 

What If Your Conscience Has Been 

Seared With A Hot Iron!?! 

Hot ... Heat ...  Burns! 

Hot Iron On A Living Thing Cuts Into It

Burns It 

And 

Cauterizes Aka Seals It!

It Seals In What Is Already Inside The Body 

And 

Seals Out What Is Outside! 

This Is A Problem For Us! 

Beloved, 

Sealed-In Bad Habits Can't Be Removed 

And 

Good Habits To Cultivate Cannot Get In 

And

The Holy Spirit 

Is 

Emphatically Shut Out 

And, Therefore

Is Unable To Do A Good Work In Our Lives! 

Question Is ...

Do You Feel Sorry For Wrong-Doing!?! 

Are You Still Able To Blush With Shame!?!

 

Do You Even Care 

What Jesus Our Lord Experiences 

When You Do Wrong!?! 

I Sincerely Pray The Father That 

Every One Of Us 

Is 

Regularly Attacked By 

And

Made Truly Uncomfortable 

By A Working-For-Our-Good Conscience

 So That We Will Always Choose To Do What Is Right! 

Wither The Adversary ...

Satan's "Conscience" 

Is 

Dead 

So He Seeks To Kill And Destroy To Get His Jollies! 

Reject Satan And His Tempting Policies! 

Please Choose Life And Blessing 

And Not 

Cursing And Death! 

Let Your Conscience Freely Work: 

Pray Always! 

There Is No Secret Agenda

About

Perfect Peace With The Lord!!

Child Of God OR Spawn Of Satan!?!

Our Life Of Holiness 

Is 

Unto The Lord ... Not Man

And Is Not

Just The Conversation 

- As In Words Uttered To Each Other - 

But Also 

The Actual Lifestyles That We Lead! 

Is Your Life Such That 

In The Day Of Settling Personal Life-Lived Accounts 

The Lord Of Life Will Say To You ... In Commendation

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter In To The Joy Of Your Lord!" 

Or

Will He Say ... In Condemnation

"Depart From Me!

I Never Knew You!?!"

Is Your Life An Act!?! 

Do Your Actions Gratefully Say "Child Of God" 

Or 

Do They Shamelessly Say "Spawn Of Satan!?!" 

Are You Walking In Worshipful Obedience 

To The Will Of God 

Or

Wandering Waywardly 

For The Convenience Of Your Lustful Flesh!?! 

Beloved, 

There Are No Cowards 

In The Kingdom Of The Forever-Blessed 

So Making The Hard Decisions 

To BeAble To Live The Sanctified Life

Aka The Set-Apart For Holy Use Life 

Aka Living For Jesus According To His Holy Word 

And Not

According To What Feels And Looks Good 

Or 

Causes You To Get Ungodly Gain 

And

Get In Good With The Enemies Of God, Truth And Right-Living 

Is

Supremely Paramount! 

Judgment Begins At The House Of God: 

Judgment Begins With Us! 

Are You Getting Ready!?! 

Are You Being Faithful By Grace For Mercy 

Or

Faithless To Get Justice

To Experience The Frowning Judge's Undiluted Wrath!?! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Peace With Almighty God Profits

And 

Holiness To Almighty God Pays! 

Fervently Think On These Things!

Peace

Is

The River Glorious!

Dare To Trust The Love That Cannot Lie!

Do You Truly Understand That You Are Safe 

And 

Secure In Jesus Christ!?!

Almighty God's Wisdom, Power, Justice 

And 

Truth Are Unchanging 

And 

Unchangeable 

Because

He Is The Same Yesterday, Today 

And 

Forever! 

Do You Truly Accept That 

Neither Your Rank, Possessions Nor Character 

Leave You As One Excluded From Sharing In The Goodness 

And 

Unfailing Grace Of Our Eternal God!?! 

Beloved, 

He Who Truly Knows Us ... And Calls Us

Loves Us! 

He Who Sends Us, Accompanies Us! 

He Who Chastises Us

Names Us As Children 

And

Desires Our Eternal Salvation

And

Our Permanent Residence

In The Courts Above! 

Will You Give The Living Holy Eternal God The Glory

Here, Now ... Today

And

With Your Heart Fixed On Everlasting Love 

And 

Eternal Bliss 

- Decorated With Bountiful Blessings Bought 

And Glorious Gifts Graciously Given -

Dare To Trust The Love That Cannot Lie

And

By His Grace

That Liar - Satan - Eagerly, Energetically Defy ... Deny!?! 

Let Us Dare To Live By The Faith Given To The Saints 

And

Choose To Stay In The Truth That Always Saves! 

Let's Dare To Look Forward To The Day 

When We Shall Be Changed 

To Be Like Him Who Doesn't! 

We Shall Be Satisfied When We See Him ... As He Is! 

Let's Hold The Fort By Faith! 

Our Lord Is Coming: Rejoice! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Perfect Peace Profits Perpetually!

The Lord God Almighty

Abundantly Provides

Spiritual Food

For All His People

But

He Will Neither

Cut It

Chew It

Swallow It

Or 

Digest It

For Any Of Us!

PRAYER:: Help Us, Lord, To Love Others Even As We Love Ourselves!

 

Charity 

Is 

Love ... Pure And Simple

Undefiled 

By Me, Myself And I! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

We Give You Heartfelt Thanks

And

Unfeigned Praise

For Your Love

Holy, Sacrificial, Kind

Faithful, Blessing

And

Ever True! 

We Thank You For Knowing Us 

While We Are Sinners 

In The Wilderness Of Sin 

And

Bless You In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 

For Calling Us To Your Side

And

To Reside In The House Of Love

The Home Of The Forever Blessed!

Forgive Us Our Sin

And

Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!

We Sincerely Repent! 

Please, Lord

We Beseech You

To Grant Us The Grace 

To Accept The Commission

To Love Others 

Even As We Love Ourselves 

And

To Do Unto Others

As We Desire Them

To Do To And For Us! 

Please Remember, Dear Lord

The Physically, Mentally, Emotionally

And

Spiritually Ill Amongst Us 

And

Help Them To Experience Your Peace

In All Its Fullness

According To Your Will

And

In Your Holy Way! 

Please Also Remember Those Amongst Us

Who Are In The House Of Mourning

And

Those Who Anticipate A Mourning To Come!

Please Comfort Them With Your Sweet Spirit! 

Father, 

On Our Own, We Are Weak

And

In Acknowledging Our Weakness

Our Need To Be Strengthened

We Approach Your Great Throne Of Grace 

With Holy Boldness 

And

Plead For The Blessings

That We So Desperately Need! 

Please Pity Us For We Will Not Survive 

Without Your Holy Hand

Of

Help And Healing

Provision And Protection

Sustenance And Salvation! 

Have Mercy And Lift Us Up 

So That We May Lift You Up! 

Be Gracious And Guide Us! 

Be Our Comfort And Carry Us! 

Bless Us And With Us Abide! 

In Your Eternal Wisdom

Please Turn Our Messes Into Messages 

Telling The Dying World

Of

Your Goodness, Grace 

And

Soon Return

For Your People Prepared To Meet You

In Perfect Peace

In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name We Pray 

And

Humbly Plead! 

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Living Word Of The Eternal God Works!

The Word Of God 

Is 

A Blood Sugar Monitor

A Blood Pressure Monitor

A Thermostat

A Temperature Gauge

And 

A Plaque-Disclosing Tablet 

When We Choose To Use It Wisely 

And 

Take Honest Steps To Gain 

And 

Preserve Our Spiritual Health 

As Directed By The Great Physician 

Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth! 

Are You A Doing-Well Christian 

Or Are Your Numbers All Over The Place!?! 

Do You Need To Get The Hard Bits Out Of Your Heart 

Or Lower, Increase Or Maintain Your Temper ... Temperature 

To Be An Effective Witness For Christ

Or Sweeten Your Saltiness 

Or Salt Your Sugariness 

When Speaking For The Lord!?! 

Being Too Hard-Unapproachable

Too Hot-Untouchable

Too Cold-Unfeeling

Too Sweet-Accommodating

Or Too Salty-Abrasive

Requires Adjustments ... Fine-Tuning ... Fixing

By The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God

To Make Us Fit For The Service Of The Lord! 

Is Your Bible Working You!?! 

Are You Working Your Bible!?! 

Do You See, Feel

Or Show The Difference That The Living Word Makes

In The Life Of One Committed To The Cause Of Jesus Christ!?! 

Beloved, 

The Holy Word Works

And

It Works Because It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword 

And

Does Exactly What The Lord Of Life ... The King Of Love

Sends It To Accomplish! 

Shouldn't We Be Likewise!?!

Please ...

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation

With Godly Fear And Trembling

And

Dare To Let The Word Of Truth Work Mightily In You Today! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ Is The Word!

Jesus Christ Is God!

Jesus Christ Loves You Personally!

Jesus Christ Saves!

Jesus Christ Is Peace!

Peace Be Unto You! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Is Praise What You Do!?!

 

Is Praise What You Do!?! 

Or 

Do You Accept The Gifts Of The Creator God 

As Your Personal Due 

And

Dare To Ask ... Even As A Fleeting Thought: 

"Lord, What Took You So Long!?!" 

Or 

"Wow! 

Is This Really The Best That 

You Can Do For Me!?!" 

Ingratitude ... And Greed 

Along With Envy ... And Hatred 

Are Unholy Traits Of Character 

Which Must Be Purged From The Heart 

If 

We Will See Our Lord Jesus In Peace! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Wanting Good Gifts 

But 

Everything 

Is 

Wrong 

With Walking Around With The Attitude That 

The Lord ... Or Anybody

Has To Give You Anything 

And 

Everything That Your Heart Desires

Even Though It Is Known That Such A Gift 

Is 

Neither Good Nor Beneficial! 

Let Us Be Wise Enough 

To Be Grateful To Our God 

For What We Do Receive 

From His Holy Hand Of Love 

And 

Blessing 

And

Cease From Insulting Our Maker, God And King 

By Walking Around With The Air Of Entitlement! 

"Thank You!

Bless You!

I Love My Present-Gift! 

You're Wonderful!

I Appreciate You!" 

Is

The Cheapest

Most Expensive

Most Appreciated Gift

That

We Can Give: 

Extravagantly Give It!

The Lord Of Glory Doesn't Owe Us Anything! 

We ... To The Contrary

Owe Our Savior, Sustainer, Provider, Redeemer 

And 

Forever Friend

Absolutely Everything! 

Our Lives Are In His Hands!

Choose To Be Grateful, Thankful ...

Lift Your Heart To Heaven

And 

Praise God ... Just Because 

And Because 

It Is A Blessed Privilege 

And

Thoroughly Good For Us: 

It Is The Lover Of Our Purchased Souls'  Due! 

Beloved,

Get Thee Hence To The Altar Of Praise

And

Give Almighty God ... Father, Son And Holy Spirit ... His Praise:

Put Your Whole Being Into It

And

Be Glad

And

Be Gloriously Blessed ... Again ... And Again!

Are You Saying That You Never Had A Glass!?!

The Great God Of Grace And Glory 

Has Boldly Gifted 

And 

Blessed Us With His Peace 

And 

Covered Us With His Plain Words Of Love, Care 

And 

Caution: 

How Do You Respond To Disappointments, Challenges

Set-Backs, Set-Ups

Sorrows

And 

Shame!?! 

Do You Stop To Evaluate The Situation 

And 

Pray For Peace And Power To Press On 

Or

Do You Lash Out Angrily, Aggressively

Arrogantly, Hostilely And Hatefully 

Or

Do You Say That The World Never Liked You 

And 

Head For The Nearest Exit 

Or 

Do You Suck On Your Thumb

Rock Yourself To Sleep

Say That You Never Had A Glass 

Or Ever Get Anything To Put In A Glass

And 

Try To Kill The Messengers 

Who Are The Lord's Workmen!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe

And 

Trust The Lord Of Life

And 

Obey The Word Of The Holy God 

- Who Loves Us Sacrificially -

Know That We Do Not Walk Alone

And 

Understand That We Have For Our Help 

The God Who Knows All Things

 And

Does What's Best For His Dear Children! 

Please ... 

Let Us Of The Household Of Faith 

Remember Whose Children We Are

Glory In The Fact That He Overcame 

So That We Can Overcome All Things In His Name

And 

Never Forget That Our Home 

- In His Father's House Of Peace And Joy - 

Is 

Just Over The Hill-Top!

Truth ... The Truth ... Cannot Fail Us

So Let Us Rejoice Greatly That

Soon Coming

 Is

Our Promised Relief! 

Hold On To The Blessed Hope: 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace! 

Pray For Peace! 

Don't Be A Split Christian!

Hebrews 12:14 Cries: 

"Liar, Liar!" 

To All Who Are Preaching, Teaching 

And 

Living On The Word That Says 

Jesus Christ Died To Save Us 

And 

Gave Us Our Lives To Have Fun 

While Doing Whatever, Whenever, Wherever 

And

 To Whomever We Please! 

A Christian Whose Life ... Whose Character

Is 

A Split Between That Of A Slug, A Leech, A Hornet 

And 

A Shark 

Is 

The Sad Testimony Of Their Not Allowing The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

To Finish The Good Work That Was Started In Them 

When They First Believed! 

The Truth Says That Our Jesus Saves

And 

Cleanses Us From Every Sin

Including The Sins That So Easily Beset

The Sins We Personally Cultivate

And 

The Sins We Inherited By Virtue Of Our Being Born! 

Beloved, 

As Usual

Our Choices Are Only Two: 

No Fence Riding Is Allowed 

Because 

Satan Owns The Fence! 

We Must ... No Maybe

Choose Whom To Believe, Trust, Worship, Praise 

And

Obey! 

We Come To Jesus Christ 

Dirty, Dirty-Minded 

And 

Damned

But 

We Cannot, Can't, Stay That Way 

If

There Is Any Light Of Truth Burning In Our Hearts! 

Calling The Name Of Jesus Is Cool

But 

Living The Life Of Christ Jesus 

Is 

Blessedly Beneficial And Beautiful 

Because 

We See Where We Are Going 

When We Walk In His Living Light 

Which Leads To Eternal Life! 

Let's Dare To Be Brave 

And 

Be Truly Wise To Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

Don't Lie Or Live The Lie

And 

Don't Try To Mock The Lord Of Life: 

Live In Absolute Truth 

And 

Be Infinitely ... And Eternally ... Blessed! 

In This Dark World Of Sin

Lasting Peace

Is

Only Possible

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord!

Attitude Is Everything!

Attitude Is Everything! 

It Determines Our Actions 

And 

Dictates Our Altitude! 

We Can Murmur And Complain 

Or Pray And Plod On! 

We Can Curse The Darkness 

Or Turn To The Light Of Life! 

We Can Embrace Truth 

Or Be Tangled Up With Lies! 

Decisions, Decisions ...

We Have Choices To Make: 

Step Into The Water That Cleanses Us From Sin 

Or Stay In The Desert Of Sin 

And 

Die Of Thirst 

Because 

Walking Against The Driving Sin-Sand Storm 

Is 

Hard 

And 

It Hurts 

And 

It Shows Everybody That You Are Different 

Because 

You Are No Longer Going With The Flow! 

Beloved, 

We Are Soldiers Of The Cross

Children Of The Father

Students In The School Of Jesus

Willing Workers For The King 

And 

We ... In Humility ... In Gratitude For Grace

For The Love That Won't Discard Us 

No Matter How Many Cock-Ups We Have

Must Not Conform To Worldly Norms 

Or Behave Like Step-Children Who Have No Hope Of 

Inheriting The Family Jewels! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

There Are No Step-Children

God-Children

Grandchildren

Nor Bastard Children 

In Almighty God's Family! 

You, Me, We, Answered 

And

Are Daily Answering Jesus Christ' Call 

To Our Own Soul's Salvation 

So Let Us Each Dare To 

And 

Live Boldly Like 

The Beloved Child Of The King Of The Universe! 

Down Is Dirt: 

Look Up To Rise Up! 

Boldly Reach For The Son!

Where Our Jesus Christ Is

Is

Our Place Of Peace For Rest!!

HEAVENLY MEANING: Living In Luxury

 

Carnal Minds Say Humble Living Means Being 

Hungry, Thin, Poor ... And Miserable 

And 

Luxurious Living Means Being 

Satisfied, Fat, Rich And ... Happy! 

This Is A Lofty Lie Of The Father Of Lies! 

Strange As It May Seem

But 

In Accordance With The Word Of Truth

Riches Of The Worldly Sort 

Do Not Make For A Peaceful 

Or Even A Happy Existence 

So Let's Not Hunger And Thirst For What Cannot Satisfy! 

But ... You Say

We Need Money To Live! 

And 

The Word Says We Need Almighty God

- The Breath Of Almighty God - 

To Live 

And 

The Grace Of God To Truly Prosper! 

Beloved, 

The Choice Is Easy ... And Hard ... And Easy: 

Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of God 

And 

He Will Lift You Up 

To Walk On Streets Of Gold 

And 

Wear A Gold Crown ... Every Day 

As Part Of Your Normal Attire! 

The Question 

Is

Will You Humbly Wait For Your Eternal Riches 

Or 

Will You Strive ... Even Against God ... Now

To Get Ungodly Gain 

And 

Live With ... And In 

The Unremitting Sorrows That  Inevitably Come 

To Those Who Know Not The Living God!?! 

Remember ... 

The Sorrows 

And 

Trials That Come To The Obedient

Faithful, Trusting-God

Enduring-All-Things-For-Christ Christian 

Are Allowed By Our Lord Jesus Christ

And 

Are The Means By Which We Are Made Fit To Wear A Crown 

Aka Live Forever 

In His Hallowed Presence: 

The Humble And Holy 

Luxuriate In The Living Light Of The Lamb! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Look For The Hand Of The Eternal God 

In Your Personal Life ... Daily

And 

Learn The Heavenly Meaning Of 

Truly Living In Joy-Filled Luxury! 

Peace And Joy

Are Gifts

From

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Loving God

The Lord Of Life!
