THE COMFORTER HAS COME: Humble Yourself In The Sight Of The Lord!







Without The Abiding Presence Of 
The Holy Spirit Of Truth Attending Us
Comforting Us
Teaching Us
And 
Feeding Us The Truth That Saves
Not One Of Us Will Know Aka Experience 
A Peaceful Existence! 

The Lord Jesus Said At His Departure
- After His First Advent -
That He Would Send Us Another Comforter! 

We Would Only Need Another Comforter 
If 
The First One Departed From Being With Us! 

We Would Only Need A Comforter 
If 
We Have Sorrow, Hurt, Shame
A Need That The Comforter ... Alone
Can And Does Heal! 

Beloved, 

Whatever Is Your Need
We Have The Power 
The Leave 
The Permission Of Our Maker
To Ask The Lord 
To Pour Out Of His Sweet Spirit ... By Measure ... Upon Us 
And 
Indwell Us Individually, Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Tiny Terrors
Big Bills
Lost Loves
Failing Finances
Acute Anger
Lurching Loneliness
Worrying Weariness
Or Creeping Compromise 
And 
Gross Greed 
To Stay Your Heart From Humbling Yourself 
Before The Lord Of Love And Life 
To Ask Forgiveness
To Receive Cleansing 
And 
Experience Needed Comfort 
Without Which We Are Just Like Animals 
Awaiting Approaching Death! 

Dare To Choose Peace! 
Call Out And Pray For The Holy Spirit 
And 
Be Comforted
Be At Rest
Because
The Living God Glorious 
Is 
Waiting ... Willing ... Able ... Ready ...  To Help Thee! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
To This Very Day
Still Free!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: DESPISE THE PIERCING SERPENT: Give Almighty God Your Gift Of Praise!






Loving And Knowing 
The Lord And The Living Word Of The Lord 
Is Not 
A Maybe Or A Perhaps! 
It Is An Imperative ... A Must
If We Are Not To Fall Prey To The Adversary
That Roaring Lion
That Piercing Serpent
Who Is Roaming About 
And 
Seeking For Those Whom He May Devour! 

In A World Full Of Busy Work
Cookie-Cutter Seeing, Doing, And Being
We Each Need To Know 
And
Love Truth For Our Own Selves 
So That We Do Not Make Shipwreck Of 
The Holy Faith Given To The Brethren
The Saints Of God And Christ!

Beloved, 

Dare To Walk In The Light Of Life! 

Stand Up For Truth
Speak Peace 
And 
Endure All That The Adversary Throws In Your Berry Patch! 

Remember Whose Child You Are 
And 
Never Forget That 
You Don't Walk In The Vale Of Tears Alone 
To Be Molested By Whosoever Wills! 

You Are Blessed: 
Remain Faithful! 

You Are Loved: 
Love The Lord, Love The Word, Above All Else! 

The Gift Of Salvation Is Free! 

Let Your Light Shine In The World For A Witness That 
You Know The Word 
And 
Are Personally Known By The Word Of God Who Is God 
And Is 
Life ... Life Everlasting! 
Choose To 
And 
Gratefully Give Almighty God Your Gift Of Praise! 
Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Let Your Faith In The Holy God Testify!










The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them! 
The Lies That Men Tell Shall Surely Scald Them! 

The Good That Men Do 
Testifies Of Their Faith In That Holy God That 
Blesses And Keeps Them 
And 
The Truth That They Tell 
Serves To Clean Them
Protect Them 
And
Set Them Apart For Heaven! 

Who Is Good And Faithful
Up To Heaven Shall Surely Rise! 

Who Is Evil And Deceitful
Practicing Lies For Pleasure And Profit
Shall ... With Satan And The Fallen Angels
In The Lake Of Fire Most Assuredly Die! 

Beloved, 

There Is Always Profit 
In Always Doing The Good And The Right 
So Please Do Not Join With Liars And Evil-Doers 
For Supposed Temporal, Earthly, Delight! 

Evil 
Is 
A Ravenous Parasite Within The Heart
A Pus-Filled Stye In The Eye
And 
An Uncontrolled Blight On The Skin Of The Evil-Doer 
Who Carries The Stench Of Death Upon His Person! 

Jesus Christ Calls Us To Life Everlasting
To Good Works
To Walk In Truth And Righteousness
To Live Lives Pleasing In His Holy Sight 
So That In Us He Will Delight! 

Evil-Doers Serve Satan! 

Let Us By Faith
For Grace
With Mercy
Serve The Living God Known Good! 
Walk In The Light ... The Truth!

Living In Truth Is Peace!






How Can Almighty God Forgive Our Sin 
When We Do Not Confess Our Sin!?! 

How Can We Confess Sin 
Which We Refuse To Believe Is Our Very Own!?! 

Surprise, Surprise ... 

Denial Can't Change Truth! 

All Mankind Is Born In Sin 
And 
All Living Are Liars 
So All Of Us Are Sinners! 
That's Bible 101: Book It! 

Beloved, 

It Is Not A Robed, Crowned, Man 
Nor Mankind 
Nor That Damned Satan 
Who Determines What Is Sin 
And 
Designates Who Is A Sinner 
Or What Is Or Is Not The Required Punishment! 

The Lord Jesus 
Is 
The Judge Of All Flesh! 
It Is He Who Wrote The Law 
On The Tables Of Stone For General Moses
And 
It Is He Who Laid Down His Life For Our Lives 
So That We All Have The Opportunity 
To Get Our Hearts Right With Almighty God
Father, Son And Holy Spirit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Indulge In The Prideful Presumption 
Exercised By Then-Lucifer Now-Satan 
By Exalting Your Status In Your Own Mind 
And 
Challenging Your Creator For His Own Throne! 
The Earth Belongs To God Just As We Belong To God! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 
 
The Proud And Presumptuous Will Perish
And
The Humble And The Heeding Are Headed To Heaven! 

The Difference Between The Two 
Is 
That The Humble Heart Hears And Obeys The Truth
And 
Prays For Power To Be Penitent Aka Sorry!
Don't Let Pride Pry Paradise Out Of Your Palm! 


There Is No Condemnation
For Those Who Love
The Lord Jesus Christ
And
Live By The Faith That Saves!


Living In Truth Is Peace! 
Truth Is Peace!

OXYMORON: A Lazy Christian And A Good Devil ...!?!

 

 




Our Shepherd Known Good
Is 
The Lord Most High! 

Our Adversaries Are Self, Sin And Satan: 
We Must Vigorously Deny Them! 

Our Mission 
Is 
To Acquire The Character Of Christ 
And 
Preach And Teach The Truth ... The Gospel
- The Good News -
To All The World 
And
Be Ready To Meet The Lord ... Our Beautiful Savior
In Peace! 

We Have Heaven To Gain! 
We Have The Holy Spirit For Our Comfort ... For Our "Use" 
The Holy Angels To Influence Us And Protect Us
And 
The Good Book For Our Compass
School Book
Pillow
Road Map
And 
Blanket, Sword And Shield

And

We Are To Occupy Ourselves Aka Work 
Until Jesus Christ Comes! 

For Your Information ... 

A Lazy Christian ... Just Like A Good Devil
Is 
An Oxymoron 
So Let Us Be Wise Unto Salvation 
And 
Live In The Light Of Life 
And 
Be Light-Bearers 
And 
Salt-Shakers In This Dark And Tasteless World 
Where Neutrality 
And 
Conformity To Abnormality 
Is 
Prized By The Vocal Majority 
And 
The Monied Minority! 

Beloved, 

You Are The Child Of The Glorious King! 
Dare To Live 
And 
Lovingly Labor 
Like You Know And Believe It!
 
Don't Compromise With Sin 
For Neither Rest Nor Riches: 
Jesus Christ Is Our Perfect Peace 
And 
Our Eternal Rest! 
Heaven ... Our Eternal Home
Has Streets That Are Paved With Gold!

Peace!

Precious Pearl OR Picayune Pawn!?!






He Who Truly Loves You
Created You
Saves You 
And 
Redeems You! 

He Who Truly Hates You
Uses Your Self Against You 
Via Pride 
And 
Greed! 

The One Whom You Choose To Obey 
Is 
The One Whom You Serve: 
You Cannot Serve Them Both! 

Both Of Them Desire You In Their Kingdom! 

Only One  Kingdom 
Is 
Eternal 
And 
Those Who Enter The Eternal Kingdom 
Live By Faith ... Never Sight
Because 
They Are In A Reasoning, Loving 
Knowing ... Always Growing
Grace-Filled, Mercy-Abounding
Enduring Love-Relationship With Their Master! 

Those In The Temporary Kingdom 
Are ... By Fierce Temptation
Enticed Into Its Unfruitful Halls! 
They Are Tempted By The Ever-Bold And Wandering Lust Of The Eye
The Always Excitedly-Hissing Serpent Lust Of The Flesh
And 
That Insatiable, Irrepressible Behemoth
The Pride Of Life! 

Beloved, 

We Have To Choose Between 
Grace And Greed
Lust And Love
Truth And Trickery
Blessing And Blight! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Creator Savior!

Satan 
Is 
Accuser Destroyer! 

To Jesus Christ ... The Righteous King
The Shepherd Of Rest
The King Of Love
The Hope Of Every Man
The Lover Of Your Soul 
The Strong Tower
Our Refuge And Strength
Our Ever-Present Help
The Joy Of Man's Desiring
The Word Of God
Food Indeed
Drink Indeed
And
The Light Of Life
You Are The Precious Pearl: 
He Loves You! 

To Satan ... The Damned
The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Piercing Serpent
The Father Of Lies
The Murderer Supreme
And
The Wannabe God
You Are A Picayune Pawn: 
He Hates You! 

If You Say You Love Jesus
Please Keep Yourself Only Unto Him! 
Only Jesus Saves: 
Please Choose Life! 

As A Saint Of God And Christ
Solely Serve The Savior! 

Peace
Is Like
The River Glorious!

Our Free Gifts Cost Innocent Blood!

 




In The Realm Of The Flesh
The Song Is Sung: 
"Yuh Know Wha' Yuh Got! 
Yuh Ain' Know Wha' Yuh Goin' Get!" 

This Is Often The Lie 
For There Are Things Received That 
Even With The Passage Of Years
They Do Not Tell The Truth 
Until Someone Gets Tired
And 
Someone Gets Hurt! 

Beloved, 

The Love Of God
In The Word Of God
Is
The Open Book Of Blessings!

In The Economy Of The Living God
And 
In His Dealings With This Mortal Flesh
Our God Announces 
And 
Memorializes 
What He Did
Is Doing 
And 
Will Do For Us ... Individually And Collectively 
And 
We Need To "Belly Up To The Trough"
And 
Ask The Lord Of Life To Help Us Lay Hold Of His Blessed Gifts 
With A Death Grip 
And Also
Help Us To Cease From Permitting Satan 
To Get Between Us And Our Good Gifts 
And 
Our God Holy
Who Gives Us These Great Gifts Of Infinite Love! 

Be Wise ... 

Don't Be Proud! 
Don't Doubt The Giver! 
Don't Trivialize The Gift! 
Don't Underestimate Your Enemy! 
Don't Overestimate Your Strength! 
Don't Ever Forget To Pray! 

And 

Don't Doubt Satan's Hatred For Whom Almighty God Loves! 

Choose Life With Amazing Love ... 

Believe In The Love Of God 
And 
Boldly Let Your Requests For Power
Provision 
And 
Protection Be Known To The Life-Giver! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Our Gifts Cost Innocent Blood! 

Let's Dare ... As Children Of The Living God
- Homeward Bound -
To Hold Our Purchased
And
Forever Blessed Gifts
With Working, Enduring, Faith! 

Without Faith
It Is Impossible To Please
The Eternal God Of Glory!


We Shall Walk Through The Valley
In Perfect Peace!

Chosen, Purchased, Wooed ... And Won!

 

 







Never Doubt Almighty God's Personal Love For You 
And 
Never Be Doubtful As to Whom You Belong! 

Beloved, 

We Are Loved By 
And 
Belong To The Lord Of Life 
Because 
We Were Chosen By His Heart
Purchased By His Blood
And 
Wooed By That Holy Love Which Will Not Let Us Go 
To be Lost To Sin! 

Jesus Christ Ever Willing
The Holy Spirit Ever Working
The Holy Angels Ever Protecting 
And
We ... Seeing Our Need 
And
Realizing Our Personal Peril Outside Of His Safe Fold 
And
Desiring His Love In Our Own Hearts
Our Hands In His
Our Rest In His House
Our Wealth In His Storehouses In Glory
Our Peace In Himself
Our Rest Where He Is
Our Faith Made Sight
And
Our Blessings Made Eternal
Let Us Choose To Cooperate With Christ
- With His Love Divine -
To Be Won To Be Eternally Blessed
And 
Saved! 

Let Us Daily Choose To Wear Our Ownership
Our Belonging
Our Relationship To Our God 
Privately
And 
Publicly 
And 
Passionately! 

Beloved, 

Claim ... And Relish 
The Love That Works At Loving You 
And 
Let No Created Being
Seen Or Unseen
Spirit Or Flesh
Steal Your Joy In Your Lord ... Your Love
The Soon-Coming King! 

Daringly War Against Known Sin: 
Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 
Pursue Peace With Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Valley Of Sorek + PRAYER: Pity Us, Lord, In Our Wretched Condition!







You, Beloved, Are In The Valley Of Sorek 
Aka Valley Of The Choice! 

You Must Choose Between Good And Evil
Right And Wrong
War And Peace
Faith And Doubt
Honor And Deceit
Jesus Christ And Satan 
And
Heaven And Hell! 

Will You Trust The Truth
Believe The Promise
And
Walk In The Light Of Life 

Or

Wearing Putrid Pride 
By That Designer To The Fallen Stars, Snatch deJoy
Turn Left On Tek-A-Chance
And 
Dance Indelicately On Broadway And Blight 
For New Nickels 
And 
Old Pyrite Nuggets Aka Fool's Gold  
Redeemable Only At What-If, If-Only
And
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda ... Did Not!?! 

Open Your Eyes! 

Regret ... Repentance
Is 
An Horrible Thing 
When Viewed Through Once-Deliberately-Closed Eyes
And 
Even Worse When Hope 
Is 
Dead 
And 
Mercy Is Departed! 

We Are Called To Be Wise Unto Salvation 
And Not
Self-Satisfaction! 

Dare To And Be Different! 
Dare To Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life
And
Invite The Spirit Of Truth 
To Be Your Soul's Sole Companion 
And 
Forever-Faithful Guide! 

Choose Love, Light, Faith
Truth, Peace, Heaven ... Jesus Christ: 
The Spirit Says "Come!" 

PRAYER:

We Desire Above All Else
To Get Home Safely
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Father
We Humbly Plead 
Remembering That We Are Dust 
And
That It Is By Your Sovereign Will That
We Live And Breathe
And
Have Any Being! 

Pity Us, Lord, In Our Wretched Condition! 
Open Our Eyes, Ears, Our Hearts!
Cleanse Our Tongues! 
Heal Us From All Unrighteousness 
And
Bless Us To Serve You
To Praise Jesus 
And
To Glorify Your Great Name! 

We Need Help, Dear Father
And
We Plead Our Poverty! 
Please Make The Way Plain 
An
 Help Us To Walk Boldly
Bravely And Unashamedly Upon It! 

You Are God ... Alone: 
We Worship You! 
Have Mercy And Bless Us
Because You Are Love!
Let The Spirit Fall Upon Us
And
Rise Up Mightily In Us
To Bless Us To Willingly Do Your Will!
Please Come For Us Soon!
We Need You!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Jesus Christ Always Saves So .... Always Pray!

  








I Had A Good Feeling: 
It Was A Lie!
I Had Listened To My Deceitful Heart: 
It Made Me Cry!
In Agony Of Despair
I Turned Back To The Word That Always Saves
And
Then I Listened As Jesus Christ Spoke
And
Afterwards, I Sincerely Prayed:


PRAYER:

Our Father In Heaven,
King Of Glory Supreme
Pity Me A Poor Student
A Lazy Worker
A Child Who Away From Your Holy Hand
Did Lawlessly Lean!
Please Forgive Me And Clean Me
Clothe Me
Dress Me
And
Bless Me
For I Confess My Sin Of Presumption
And
Accept With Contrite Heart
That In Your Presence I Am The Least! 
I Repent, Lord, For Greedily Indulging
In The Disobedience Feast!

Feelings Do Not My Soul Sanctify
And
Walking As One Self-Willed
Always Makes Me Cry
So, In The Name Of My Jesus
Who Lowered Himself
To Lift Me Up To You
Forgive Me, I Beseech
And
Make Me Anew!

I Need You, Father
And
I Am Glad!
Please Help Me To Remain Faithful
For Sinning Makes Me Miserable
And
Makes My Dear Savior So Very Sad!
 
I Desire To Be Like My Jesus
So I Plead For The Holy Spirit
To Descend Upon Me And Indwell Me
For Truly, Father, I Yield My Will:
May The Sweet Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth
My Longing, Aching, Hungry, Heart
Truly, Thoroughly, In Time
And
For Eternity
Please Fill!

Thank You For Hearing
And
Answering Prayer
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, I Plead! 
AMEN!

NEW LIFE: Dare To Be Faithful!






Is Your Faith Full 
Or Is Your Faith Faltering!?! 

Is Your Trust In Jesus Christ Tremendous 
Or Is Your Trust Timid!?! 

Is The Book Of Truth That You're Avidly Reading 
The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God 
Or Is It The Reader's Digest Abridged Version 
Catering To Your Willful Sinful Self 
And 
Bearing A Version Of The Truth That 
Does Not Disturb You When You Go Shopping 
In The Massive Mall Of Daring Disobedience!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Get Real Here! 

When The Lord Calls And You Answer:

"Yes, Lord!
I Am Willing!" 

You Mean Willing To Obey
To Endure
To Learn
To Change
To Grow
And 
To Follow Him Faithfully ... With Integrity, Honesty! 

There Is No Provision Made For Wearing Your Own Clothes 
Aka Your Own Righteousness 
Or Eating Your Own Bread 
Aka Manufacturing, Following 
... LiViNg ... 
Your Own Truth
And 
Remaining In The Same Condition 
As When You Eagerly Met The Lord Of New Life Abundant! 

We Come To Jesus Christ As We Are ... Sinners
But 
It Is Impossible To Remain A Sinner 
And 
Live Eternally! 

Brethren,

Please Dare To Let The Holy Spirit Change You 
From The Inside Out!
Dare To And Give The World No Other Choice 
But
To Call You A True Child Of The Great King! 

Grow ... By Grace, For Faith! 

Remember, Remember,
Don't Ever Forget ...

The Lord Of Life
The King Of Glory
Our Creator, Redeemer, Friend
Always, Always, Always
Equips Those Who Are The Called
Soooo ... Be Joyful! 


Jesus Christ's Peace
Passes
Human Understanding!
