You Are Not Your Own!






See!
It Is In Black And White: 
We Are Not Our Own! 

Every One Of Us ... Born Of A Woman 
Must ... At The Appointed Time
Give An Accounting Unto The Eternal God 
Before Jesus Christ The Lord
The King
The Judge! 

Beloved, 

We Have Free-Will 
And
The Freedom To Choose 
How To Live Our Own Lives! 

We May Do Whatever We Want To Do 
But
We Have No Say In How Long We May Do It! 

Jesus Christ Has Asked Us To Choose To Serve Him 
And
He Has Given Unto Us Clear Information 
Telling Us Why It Is To Our Eternal Profit 
To Follow, Serve, Worship, Pray To 
And 
Praise And Love Him! 

Our Dear Savior Has Also Plainly Explained To Us 
Why It Is Not To Our Benefit To Not Serve Him 

But

He Has Left The Decision-Making In Our Hands! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous ... Our Redeemer ... Our Friend
Will Never Force Us To Serve Him 
And
Nobody ... Human Or Malevolent Spirit
Can Force Us To Not Worship Him! 

Be Wise ... 

Anything That We Choose To Do
And 
Actively Do ... Good Or Bad
Is 
Our Own Decision 
So Never Let It Be Said That:


"The Devil Made Me Do It!" 

Or 

"Almighty God
Could Have ... Should Have
Stopped Me From Doing That!" 

Face Facts ...

It Is Your Life To Live
And 
It Is Your Choice As To How To Live Your Life
And
It Is Your Own Personal Decision
On Where Is To Be Your Preferred Final Destination! 

The Choices Are Clear So Please Choose Wisely: 
Destination-Wail In Hell 
Or 
Destination-Rejoice In Heaven!
No One Will Make Your Decision For You! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Cooperate With Christ
And
Choose Eternal Life With Christ 
And 
Be Ever Blessed!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Were Not Bought Back From Death
With Either Silver Or Gold
But
With The Innocent Blood Of Jesus Christ
The Lamb Of God
- The Joy And The Hope Of Every Man, Woman And Child -
Who Infinitely Loves Your Personally ... Intimately!

WINDS OF CHANGE: How Firm Is Your Foundation!?!








If You Do Not Have An Anchor For Your Soul
- A Firm Foundation For Your Faith - 
Know Of A Surety That You Cannot Rest
Be At Rest 
Or Rest Easy! 

Think About It ... 

You're In The Stormy Sea Aka Living Your Life 
And 
The Winds Of Change 
- Pushing Every Man-Made Doctrine - 
Are Blowing Some'hing Fierce! 

Your Stomach Is In Your Throat! 
Your Head Is In One Hand! 
Your Ears Are Ringing! 
Your Thoughts Are In A Whirl! 
Your Legs Are Like Jelly! 
Your Feet Are Slipping 
And
Your Empty Hand Can't Find Anything Solid To Hold On To! 

You've Been Dialling The Fleeting-Things Number For Prayer: 
The Line Is Dead 
And
Your Tricked-Out Sea-Faring Conveyance 
Is 
Going Left, Right, Up, Down And Sideways 
But
Not Where You Want To Go! 

Suddenly ... In A Moment Of True Clarity
You Cry Out: 
"Lord Jesus, Please Save Me Now!" 

Beloved, 

Our Anchor Holds Safely In Jesus Christ 
Who Is The Truth
And
Our Safe Harbor ... The Rock Of Ages! 

Times, Attitudes, Desires 
And 
Needs Change 
But
The Word Of God ... The Light Of Life
Stands Forever! 

Brethren, Beloved

I Beseech Us All To Dare To Know 
And
Faithfully Trust Him Who Knows You Intimately
And
Loves You Better Than You Know And Love Yourself 
And
Knows Your End From Your Beginning 
And
All Points In Between! 

You Are Not Your Own
And
You Are Not Alone!

Build On The Rock!

Do Not Do What Lucifer Did!







We Are Not Animals Who Live By Instinct 
Ever Ready To Turn On A Dime 
And 
Attack Others On The Least Provocation! 

We Are Human ... Thinking, Reasoning ... Beings 
Created In The Image Of The Holy God 
And 
Made After His Likeness! 

Beloved, 

We Were Not Created To Ever Know Evil 
But
Here We Are! 

We Were Not Created To Tell Lies
Indulge In Deceit
Hurt Others For Fun And Self-Gratification
Cheat, Steal
Bear False-Witness
Covet
Commit Murder
Worship According To Our Feelings
Dishonor Our Parents
Set Up Idols
Denigrate The Living God 
Or Experience Death 
But
Here We Are! 

Our Lord Christ Has Invited Us
- With A Can't-Be-Canceled Invitation -
To Come And Reason With Him
Petition Him
And
Talk With Him 
At The Throne Of Grace ... Of Unmerited Favor
So That We May Be Taught Of The Almighty God 
To Know, Understand, Accept 
And
Do What Is Good And Right 
And 
Confers Upon Us The Eternal Blessing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Do What Lucifer Did 
And 
Set Up Your Own Kingdom 
In Opposition To The Living God In Your Mind! 

If You Do This Base Thing
You Will Reap What Lucifer-Satan Reaped
Is 
Reaping 
And 
Will Reap ... Eternal Death! 

Let's Learn From Others' Mistakes 
Without Having To Endure Their Experiences
In Our Own Flesh
In Order To "Understand!" 

Be Wise, Brethren
Unto Your Own Soul's Sure 
And 
Secure Salvation:
Time Is Getting Shorter!



The Savior
- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
Is
Waiting To Enter Your Heart:
Let Him In!

Ebenezer








When We Look At What Is Happening In Other People's Lives 
And
When We Observe The Hash, The Mess, That 
Some People Are Making Of Their Own Lives
We Would All Do Well To Humbly Say: 

"There ... But For The Grace
Of 
The Living God
I Go!" 


It Is Quite Easy For Us To Go "Tsk, Tsk!" 
And 
Be All High-Minded 
And 
Top-Lofty 
When We Are Looking Down On Others 
But
We Need To Seriously, Thankfully, Consider 
And
Be Grateful For Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who Is Looking Down Upon Us All ... In Love ... All Of The Time! 

Beloved, 

A Saint Of God And Christ
Is 
A Reforming Sinner 
Walking As One Being Sanctified ... Set Apart
Rising Up Higher And Higher 
As He Or She
Is 
Headed Toward Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Let Us All Remember That 
The Journey Is Not For The Swift
The Battle Is Not To The Strong
And 
The Crown Is Not For The Worldly-Wise And Wealthy: 
Life Eternal 
Is 
For The Over-Comer
The Saint Whose Life 
Is 
Lived By, For, And In Jesus Christ! 

Let Us Not Be Proud And Arrogant: 
Be Humble And Wise! 
Let Us Humble Ourselves Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
So That He Will Lift Us Up ... At The Appointed Time! 

Let Us, By Almighty God's Great Grace
Give A Helping Hand To Others 
Even As The Hand Of God 
Is 
Moment By Moment Helping Us! 

We Have Hope, Help, Health, Healing 
And 
A Home In Heaven 
In Him Who Hears And Cares For Us: 
Let Us Pray And Plead
And
Hear And Obey
And
Endure All Things For Christ Jesus ... Until The End 
As We Believe In The Promises That Cannot Fail! 
Let Us Walk In His Light ... The Light Of Life
As He Leads Us To The Land Of No Night! 



Peace Be Upon You
As You Rest In Christ Jesus!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You-Juice OR True-Juice!?!




 


We Consider Ourselves Capable To Take Care Of Ourselves 
And
Naively Forget That There Is A "But!" 

As Thus Says The Word Of The Living God
We Are Mortal
Made A Little Lower Than The Angels 
And, Therefore
We Have Limitations! 

We Forget That We Are Sinners By Nature 
And, Therefore
Have Spiritual, Physical And Emotional Needs 

And

Because Of Sin
And 
Our Need For Christ's Purchased-For-Us Salvation
We Need To Be Constantly Vigilant 
As Regards Our Surroundings 
And
About Whom We Permit To Be A Part Of Our Circle! 

Beloved, 

Never Forget That 
Jesus Christ Had A Judas In His Circle! 

Also, Please Remember That 
Our Greatest Enemy 
Is 
The Enemy ... Within! 

Self 
Is 
Always A Sinner
And
Self Will Never Be Humble, Faithful, Just
Loving, Kind 
Or True ... To You! 

Self 
Is 
An Agent Of Satan 

And

A Cultivated, Nurtured, Well-Fed Self 
Is
Always Going To Destroy Its Host 
Aka You, Me, We ... Who Refuse To Permit The Savior
- By The Holy Spirit's Working - 
To Renew, Reform
And 
Regenerate Us In His Image
In His Likeness! 

Invite Jesus Christ In
And
Get Rid Of Self
Get Rid Of Sin
And
Be Rid Of Satan!

Self Is You-Juice! 
Salvation Is True-Juice! 

Self Is Death: 
Salvation Is Life! 
Choose Life! 

The Promised Peace of God
Is
Perfect!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Gift Of An Expected End!


 








For Every Good Gift That The Good Lord Gives To Us
Satan The Damned Has A Counterfeit! 

Beloved, 

We Must Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life To Be Safe!
Pride 
Is 
A Counterfeit! 

We Cannot Afford The Luxury Of Pride 
And
If We Do Not Reject It In Ourselves 
And
Recognize It In Others 
To Avoid Its Ever-Reaching Tentacles
We Will Find Ourselves In The No-Return-From Pit! 

Humility In Christians 
Should Not Be Of The Faux Persuasion 
But 
Should Be Our Staple
Our Standard
Our Way Of Life 
And
We Should Never Be In The Family-Business Of Satan 
Taking Pleasure In Condemning Others 
And 
Castigating Them 
Or Denouncing Them For Partaking In
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Proud Humility 
And 
Humble Pride Are Twins: 
Disown Them! 

The Lord ... In Mercy ... Is Clear: 
He Makes And Knows 
And 
Guides Our Way ... The Way To Life ... Plainly 
Because 
He Is Guaranteeing Us The End That 
He Is Providing To Us 
Because Of 
Christ's Sacrifice For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Those Who Cannot Give You A Biscuit 
To Take Bread ... The Bread Of Life
- The Life Of Christ The King Of Glory - 
From Your Head, Heart Or Hand! 

Be Wise And Know ... 

Satan's Gifts Are Rentals
But
Almighty God's Gifts To Us ... We Own! 


Be Fulfilled ...

Please Choose The Humble, Holy, Life Of Christ
And
Expect To Joyfully Enjoy
The Eternal God's Gift To Us Of An Expected End:
Everlasting Peace
Everlasting Joy
Everlasting Life ... At Home ... In The Father's House
With Jesus Christ Our Creator
Savior
Redeemer
Recreator
Lord, God 
And 
Kind King
Giver Of All Good And Perfect Gifts!

The Everlasting Portion!






What Our Eyes See, Our Heart Wants! 
If We Longingly Look At The Things Of The World
We Will Desire Those Things! 

When We Lovingly Look Fixedly Upon The Lord Christ 
And
By Faith View Heavenly Things Constantly
We Shall Truly Long For Christ 
And
Desire To Behold Him In His Glory ... In Our Flesh
With Our Own Eyes And Not The Eyes Of Another! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Must Become Everything To Us 
Or Else Our Loyalty ... Divided Between Here And Heaven 
Will Most Assuredly Cause Us To Lose Out 
On Receiving Our Everlasting Portion 
And 
To Take Personal Possession Of Our Land Lot 
Granted To Us By Right For Loving Our Jesus 
And
Having Overcome Sin! 

No Other Human Is You! 
No Other Human Can Love The Lord Christ As You Do: 
You Are Unique, Special! 
No Other Human May Overcome Sin In Your Behalf
And 
No Other Human May Own Your Lot! 
So, If You Choose To Liberally Indulge 
Your Desire For Temporal Aka Earthly Things 
And
Conservatively "Love" The Things Of God
Please Know ... Of A Surety That 
You Shall Not Hold Either! 

Dare To Let
"Jesus First! 
        Jesus Last! 
              Jesus Always!" 
Be Your Daily Call To Work
To Walk
And 
To Acquire The Wisdom Of The Wise 
Who Walked ... Are Walking ... On The Way Of The Cross!

I Beseech Us All
Please Seek  ... And Find ... The Savior 
And
Know That All Of Grace's Good Things 
Will Be Abundantly Added Unto You!



The Everlasting Portion
Is
The Portion That Lasts
And
Lasts
And
Lasts
And
It Is Specifically For Those
Who
For Jesus Christ The King
Their Lot In Life Have Cast!

Sing Unto Almighty God A New Song!







No Mortal Aka Human Being 
Can Over-Rule God Almighty 
Or 
Out-Maneuver Satan! 

No Committed Christian
- Standing By Faith Through Grace 
And
With Prayer - 
Has To Worry About Satan 
And
His Deceived, Unhinged, Minions 
Doing Them A Damage: 
The Lord In Zion Reigns And Rules!

Beloved, 

We Are Instructed By The Word Of Truth That 
All Who Will Live Godly Lives In Christ Jesus 
Shall Suffer Persecution 
So, Whatever You Are Going Through
Whatever Is The Reason
Be Joyful In The Lord 
For Being Counted Worthy To Suffer 
For Your Faith In Your Creator, Savior, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend 
Who Sticks Closer To You Than Any Brother, Sister
Mother, Father Or Child Ever Can Or Will! 

Brethren, 

Remember This One Thing: 
The Gift Of Song And Praise To Our God Known-Eternal 
Is 
A Spiritual Weapon In Your Warfare 
Against Those Who Will Try To Cause You To Sin 
Against Our Lord Christ 
By Indulging In Foolish 
And
Decimating, Deadly, Devilish Doubt! 

Whatever Happens To The Child Of God 
Is 
Permitted By The Eternal God Of Grace 
So Never, Ever, Doubt That The Lord Is Able
And
Ready And Willing To Deliver You
No Matter The Cock-Ups And Miseries 
Which Apparently Dog Your Life! 

Pray ... Always! 
Sing Unto Almighty God A New Song
And
Be At Peace As You Rest In Him! 
Troubles Won't, Can't, Don't Last Forever!

Be True To Truth!






Denying The Truth Of God 
Does Not Change The Character Of God 
Or Our Need To Totally Embrace It! 

Denying The Requirement That 
We Are To Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 
Through Our Obedience To The Truth ... Christ Jesus 
Does Not Change The Fact That 
Disobedience Is Sin
Sin Means Death 
And 
Unrepented Sin Means Damnation! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Walk With Or Personally Participate In 
The Sin Of Those Who Openly Defy The Living God! 

When You Know The Truth That Saves 
And 
You Deliberately Choose To Indulge In Error
Lies, Deceit
And 
Compromising Behavior 
Just Because 
It Is Convenient 
And
Makes You "Feel" Good
Does Not Make It Profitable Or Beneficial 
In Either The Short Or Long Term
Far Less Eternally! 

We Are Headed Toward Hill Zion The Beautiful 
And 
Forever Blessed 
And
Only Those Who Choose To Fulfil The Requirements 
Aka Acquire The Holy And Undefiled Character Of Christ 
Shall, By Right, Enter Therein!
There Is No Short-Cut  Or Exemption From Righteousness
To Get To Share In The Glory Of The Lord Christ! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Presumptuous Sin 
To Hold Dominion Over You! 

Do What Is Right 
Because 
It Is Right! 
Our Dear Jesus Said That We Must Do Right 
If We Desire To See Him ... In Perfect Peace: 
Let Us Be True To Truth 
And
Live In Righteousness! 
Jesus Christ Alone Saves:
Be Humble And Be Blessed!

FORGIVENESS: To Err Is Human!







Held Hate
Holds
Human Health Hostage! 

It Should Not Surprise Us 
To Know That Holding Grudges 
And 
Malice Against Others In Our Hearts 
Grossly Affects Our Personal Health And Well-Being! 

Emotional Sickness Manifests Itself Physically 
And 
Jesus Christ Showed This Truth 
When He Healed The Man Sick With Palsy! 
The Man's Heart Was Sore! 
He Needed Forgiveness More Than Physical Healing! 

The Lord's Prayer Asks To Forgive Our Debts 
As We Forgive Our Debtors! 
When We Forgive ... Even Ourselves
We Are Forgiven! 

Are You Almighty God That 
You Refuse Forgiveness To Your Self And Another!?! 
If You Act As Though You Are Almighty God
Then You Are A False God 
And
In Direct Opposition To The Eternal God 
And
You Shall Perish In 
And
For Your Sin! 

We, Human ... Mortals ... Are Frail, Fragile, Creatures
And 
It Does Not Take A Lot To Turn Our Lives Upside Down 
So Think Carefully
And 
Act Wisely! 

A Peaceful Night's Sleep 
Is 
A Blessed Gift Of The Eternal God Not To Be Despised! 

Take TheAlmighty God's Forgiveness 
By Being Forgiving To Others
Because
We Ain't All That 
That We Should Puff Up With Pride 
And 
Pointedly Point At Others And Say: 

"Looka Dem!" 

To Err Is Human! 
Forgiveness Is Divine! 
Try It!

COMMTTED TO CHRIST: Exercised Faith Can't Fail!




 
Every Christian Completely Committed To Christ 
And 
His Eternal Cause 
Must Be Able Able To Say Like Job: 

"Though He Slay Me
Yet Will I Trust Him!" 

In Finite Understanding
The Skeptical Will, With The Worldly, Say: 

"Why Would You Trust Someone
Who Could Kill You!?!" 

To This, We Say: 

Jesus Christ
Is
The Author Of Life
Our Creator, Sustainer, Provider
Lord, God And Forever Friend
And
He Raises The Dead
To Everlasting Life 
And
He ... The Righteous One 
And
Forever Faithful Friend 
And
Kind King
And
Just Judge
Has Promised To All
Who Choose To Believe In Him 
And
Trust Him At His Living Word That 
We Who Live For Him
And
Die In Him Shall
- At The Time Appointed By Him -
Rise From Death To Life 
To Live With Him Forevermore 
On The Glorious Golden Shore!

Beloved, 

The Great God Who Bids You Trust Him
Gives You A Gift Of Faith Each Day 
With Which To Trust Our Jesus 
- The King Of Glory -
Who Calls Us To Partake Of
And
Does Give Grace ... Unmerited Favor
Blessings, Benefits
Gifts Of Holy Love To Us
Whether We Are Grateful, Faithful
Obedient, Enduring
Loving, Kind 
And 
Wholly True To Him! 

Please Dare To Love The Lord Christ 
Who Eternally, Personally, Loves You Intimately: 
Your Exercised Faith In Him Can't Fail!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Contented: Don't Self-Destruct!







Why Would You Choose To Destroy Another Person 
Knowing That Their Destruction Ensures Your Own!?! 

This Behavior 
Is 
Satanic 
And 
At Its Center Is Pride
Plus Hatred And Envy 
And 
Idolatrous Fatalism! 

Beloved, 

We Are Christians! 
Jesus Christ Says To Us: 


"Save Yourselves From This Untoward Generation! 
Look To Me, The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith! 
Resist The Devil! 
Bring Your Burden To Me And Leave It There! 
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding! 
Love Truth! 
Hate Lies!"
 

Too Often
Instead Of Looking To Our Jesus 
And
Embracing His Light
And
Assimilating His Holy Character
And
Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith
We Covet What Is Not Ours To Own
And
Greedily Long After That Which 
We Should Never Have In Our Body-Temple Home 
And
End Up Being Less Than What We Are Created To Be 
To Become What The Light Of Day Should Never, Ever, See! 

What The Lord Has Given To You, Enjoy! 
What The Lord Has Promised To You, Anticipate! 
What Is Not Yours To Have And To Hold
Let It Pass You Like A Levite 
And
For It See That You Do Not Cry! 

Almighty God
- Who Has A Thousand Ways To Save You,
Amply, Lovingly, Provides: 
Be Grateful! 

Choose Life: 
Live In, By, And For Love
For ... As Our Lord Has Said:
They Shall Know Us By Our Love One For Another! 


Jesus Christ's Peace
Is
Precious And Perfect!
