VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Grace Has Been Given!

Grace And Glory
Love And Wrath
Speaks To The Coming Of King Jesus
At The Archangel's Trumpet's Last Blast!

Grace Is Given
To Those Who Have Chosen
God's Good Gift To Accept!
Glory Is Conferred Upon
All Those Who Have The Conditions
Of Sure Salvation Met!

Love Encloses All Who In Faith 

Believe 

In The Living Word
AND
The Wrath Of The Lamb Will Not Touch Any
BUT
Those Who To Self Lying
Do The Son Of God Deny
AND
To Truth Ever Object!

All Those Who Despised God's Grace
Will Be Destroyed By The Brightness Of His Glory!
All Those Who Dismissed God's Love
Will To Themselves Have His Fierce Wrath Applied!

The End Of The Day Of Grace
Is Almost Upon Us
When Mercy Will No Longer For Man Intercede
AND
The Day Of Wrath Is Almost Here
When
Boldly Willful Sinful Men ... Humbled
Will For God's Pitying Love
Plead!

Brethren,
God's Gifts Of Love
Cannot Be Purchased
BUT
God's Vengeance And Wrath
Surely Can
By Denial And Despising

By Doubt And Disbelief
By Faithlessness
Descents Into Foolishness

AND
Belief As The Fool
That There Is No God
AND
Gross Fraternizing
With Wily The Fraud!

There Was A Time
When Men Had Excuse
AND
In Those Times Of Ignorance
The God Of Glory Did Blink
BUT
There Is The Charge
That The Living Word
Into ALL The World Will Go
For A Witness
AND THEN 
The End Would Come
AND
This Is When The God Of Creation
Will Put On His Most Spectacular Show!

Please Do Not Permit
Willful Ignorance
Arrogancy
AND
Denial Of God's Grace
To Cause You To Lose
What Can Never Be Replaced

BUT

Do Become An Enquiring Student
AND
A Diligent Servant For Your Lord
For
Come The Day Of Vengeance
You Will Be With Those
Who Rise Up In The Air
To Meet Our King
Our Lord
Our God
Leaving Behind
The Detritus Of Sin

AND

The Eternally Damned Fraud!

Obedience Costs A Little
BUT
Pays An Awful Lot

So
Please Do Not Be Presumptuous
Disobedient

AND
Deceitful
Like Satan
Or
You Will Suffer 

Almighty God's Eternal Blot!

Think For Your Own Self!
Don't Follow The Ever-Wrong Multitude
Who Have The Truth Eschewed!
Lift Up The Lord Of Life!
Strive For The Mastery!
Endure - With Faith - Life's Strife
AND
In That Day Of Appointment
As One Victorious
You Shall Ascend Triumphantly
To Eternal Life!

Grace!

Glory! 

Love!

Wrath!

We Are Mere Men

And

Of These Things

We Don't Even Know Half

But

We Do Know The God

Who Knows All

And

Is Our All And All

And

That Should Be Sufficient

For

The Children Of The Fall!

SING ... This Song Of The Blessed Assurance!

Blessed Assurance

I'm Resting In My God!

I'm Thankful For Peace

Grace

Mercy Joy And Love!

I'm Blessed By God's Goodness

I'm Washed In Christ's Blood

I Am Of Sin Forgiven

And I'm Going To The Home Above!

Listen To My Story! 

Hear Me Sing A Good News Song! 

I'm Praising My Savior

For At Sin I Now Frown! 

I Was A Bold Sinner! 

Now Saved By Grace Am I

And I'm Walking To Zion

To Arrive There By And By!

The Call To Salvation Went Out

And I Heard The Word! 

I Saw My Need Of The Savior

And Left The Wild Goat Herd!

Of Sin I Repented

And Confession I Made

And By God's Great Goodness

In Forgiveness

I'm Bathed!

My Brother, My Sister

Please Heed The Holy Spirit's Call! 

The Angels Will Protect You

God Won't Let The Faithful Few Fall!

Satan Is The Liar! 

Sin Is A Life Thief! 

Lies Are The Lasso! 

Christ Is Relief 'n Release!

Tell Another The Story! 

Sing For The Doubting Brethren The Song! 

Let's Sing Of Our Savior

He's Coming E'er Long! 

Signs Are Fast Showing! 

Satan Knows He Has A Date

And Those Who Choose Jesus

Won't Share The Damned Fraud's 

Sure Fate!

HAPPY SABBATH + Power vs. Strength + PRAYER: Lord, Remember Me, And Save Me!

Do You Realize
That Man Has The Power
To Crucify The Lord Jesus Christ Afresh
BUT
He Does Not Have The Strength
Not To Do It Again?!

We Are Called
To Be Strong
In The LordBUT
Man Is Too Arrogant To Be Humble
AND

Instead
Takes Up The Ways Of The Fraud!

Do You Realize
That When A "Strong" Man Is Caught
In Known Wrong-Doing
That His Voice Is Powerful

AND
His Manner Is Forceful
BUT
When He Was In The Position
To Make The Decision
Between Wrong And Right
He Had Not The Mindful Strength
To Say To The Father

Lord,
I Need Your Strength!

Save Me!

Please Do Not Let Me Into Sin Fall Down!?

In Should Be Noted That ...

Our Almighty God Has The Power
To Destroy Man
AND
He Also Has The Strength ... Of Perfect Love
To Say:

I Shall Pay Me

With Mine

To Save Him

That Shall My Faithful 

Blessing

Redeeming

Graceful

Merciful Love

Boastfully Decline!

Men Should Learn From God!

BUT

They Won't
For They're Foolish ...

AND

... The Fool Says
In His Great Heart
That There Is No God ...!

... A la Satan! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,

Please Hear My Prayer!

I Am Calling Upon You!

Please Do Not Turn Me Away!

I Am A Weak Being!

I Am But Dust

And

My Nature

Causes Me To Love The Wrong

And

My Inherited

And

Cultivated Tendencies

Cause Me To Seek Ever Always

To Do That Which

Will Never Make My Faith Strong!

Help Me

So That Sin, Self And Satan

Cannot To Hell

Take Me Down!

Of My Free Will

I Choose To Accept The Offered

And

Free Salvation

So

Pity Me, Lord

In This Life Of Distress!

Help Me 

For You, Alone, Are Able!

Help Me

For You, Alone, Are Strong!

Lead Me, Lord

Into Your Fullness

And

Take Me In Hand

For I Desire

To Be Among The Saved Ones

E'er I Hear The Trumpet Sound!

Thank You, Lord

For Your Goodness!

Thank You, Lord

For Blessed Grace!

Thank You, Lord

For The Great Sacrifice

That Assures Me That In Heaven

I Have A Personal Place!

Oh, Lord,

Grant Me Victory Over Sin!

Grant Me Victory Over Self!

Grant Me Victory In Christ Jesus

And

Against That Devil Masquerading 

As A Fabled Storybook Elf!

Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Upon Me

And

Save Me, Lord

For I Do Love You!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Stand, And Plead!

Please Remember Me!

AMEN.

Why Did You Do It?! + Prayers

KJV Isaiah 41
God Is With His People 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Lord,

Have Mercy ... And Help Us!

Help Us To See That We Do Not

As True Believers

Walk Alone! 

Help Us To Trust You

Where We Can't 

With Our Mortal Eyes

Trace You!

Help Us To Unfailingly Love You In Faith

For 

- To Be Saved Into Your Eternal Kingdom -

We Must!

I Have Been Painstakingly Reading The Facebook And Instagram Posts Of A Devout, Kind-Hearted, Christian ... Who Committed Suicide.

I Have Been Reading The Responses To, Tributes About, And Notes Of Regret From Ordinary Friends, School Mates, Co-Workers, Family, And Christian Friends Of A Committed, Active, Working For Christ, Praising, Believing, Trusting, Grateful For Salvation, Hopeful For Redemption Christian Who, Hours After Celebrating Faith In The Lord Christ, And Leading Out In Worship In The Sanctuary, Committed Suicide.

Not One Solitary Soul Saw It Coming.

All Hearts Are Torn And Are Sorrowing.

This Picture Makes My Blood Run Cold Because There Are Too Many Hard Questions That Need Answering ... And No Obvious ... And Soft ... Comfortable Answers Forthcoming.

This Is The Third Time, In The Last 20 Years That I Know Of A Christian Committing Suicide:

Demographics:

One Female, Two Males
One Married, Two Singletons
Two Teachers, One Casual Worker
One Doctor, One Master, One Learner
One Twenties, One Thirties, One Fifties
One With Children, Two Without
Two Professionally Known, One Virtual Unknown
All Believers In The Lord Christ
All Dearly Loved
Not. One. Clue. Given. ... As To What Was To Come.

Legacy:

• Doubt About What Love Can Do
• Doubt In The Love Of God
• Doubt In The Grace Of God
• Doubt In The Salvation Of God
• Doubt As To Whether, Indeed, JESUS PAID IT ALL.

Questions:

• Why?
• Where Was Faith?
• What Is Our - Not God's - Definition Of Faith? 
• Why Were You Leaning On Your Own Understanding?
• Why Was Suicide The Only Option?
• Where Was Our Jesus? 
• Where Was The Holy Spirit? 
• Where Was The Guardian Angel?
• How Did Satan Pull This Off? 
• Why Was Satan Able To Pull This Off?
• Did You Forget To Believe?
• Was Your Problem Bigger Than Your Faith In The Holy God?
• Why Did You Choose To Give Up On Ever-Sufficient Grace?
• Did You Forget, Or Momentarily Disremember, That Forgiveness For Known Sin Is Free By Confession And Repentance?
• Did You Forget That There Is Mercy For Me (You)?
• Did You Forget That Grace Is Bigger Than Sin?
• Were Your Eyes So Clouded With Sorrow For And Over Self That You Willingly Chose To Close Them, And No Longer Be Able To See Christ And His Sacrifice ... Just For You?
• Is There The Almighty God?
• Is Almighty God Really Real To Every Man?
• Is The Almighty God Able?
• Is The Almighty God Capable?
• What Is There That The Almighty God Can't Do?
• What More Could The Almighty God Have Done?

Jesus Christ IS The Only Answer.
What Was Your Question To Him?

How Do Christ's Sacrifice, Purchased Salvation, And The Very Public Actions Of An Assumed Born-Again, Regenerated Sinner Called Christian Turned Suicide, Intersect?

What About The 6th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Kill? Exodus 20:13

Suicide Is Self-Murder!

What Of No Murderer Getting Into Heaven?

KJV Revelation 22
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

What Of Murderers' Only Inheritance Being The Second Death?

KJV Revelation 21
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Is There Extenuating Circumstance That Would Permit A Suicide Into Heaven?

Does The Almighty God Change His Word To Suit Our Circumstance, Our Situation, Or
Our Sorrow?

KJV Malachi 3
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

KJV Hebrews 13
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Why Do We Doubt When We As Christians Have That Certain Hope?!

Why Does The Bible, The Living Word, The Word Of God, The Transcript Of God's Character Say ... Do Not Doubt?

AND

Warns About The Result Of Doubt?

Do We Not Understand, Or Truly Believe, That Doubt Is A Gross Sin Against The Eternal God Who Gave His All, His Best, So That We May Have ALL - Absolutely Everything -
That We Could Need To Survive, To Spiritually Prosper, In This Vale Of Tears?

When, When, When Will We Start To Believe - As Does A Child - That Our Father's Arms Are Ever Safe, Ever Comforting, Always Comfortable, Always Available, Always Here?

Brethren,

These Are Dread Times In Which We Live.

I Shall Here Utter My Usual Refrain:

Things Are Not What They Appear To Be!

I Shall Here Beseech You:

Do Not Trust Your Carnal Eyes!
Do Not Trust Your Emotions!
Do Not Build Your House On Feelings!
Do Not Walk On The Road Called "What Will People Say!"

Do Not Buy Into The Social Media Garbage Of

Shaming!
Being Shamed!
Feeling Too Ashamed To Live!

AND
Suicide Is A Cure For Life's Hurts!

Sin Is What Exposes Our Nakedness, And Causes Our Shame ... Before Almighty God!

The Living God Doesn't Shame People!
He Calls Us To Salvation!
He Shows Us The Way To Life!
He Desires Us To Drop The Dirt
AND
Carry The Crosses Of Life
To The Christ Of Calvary's Cross
Where There Is Always Room
For One More Sinner
Who Wants To Safely Get Home
Out Of Sin's Decimating Cold!

Please Look Up
AND
Know That
ALL
Of Our Help
Comes From The Lord
The God Of Our Salvation!

Let Us Build Our Hope
On Nothing Less Than Jesus Christ's Blood
AND
His Righteousness!
He Paid The Price
All Our Sin To Cleanse
AND
The Prayer Of Faith
Brings Us To His Home!
He Will Us Defend!

On Christ The Solid Rock
Please, Brethren ... STAND!
Satan Is The Carnal Liar

The Father Of Lies
AND
His Actions Are All Grand Stand!

Satan Is A Toothless Lion!
Christ Did Him Defang
So
Call Him By His Real Name!
He Can't Take You
Out Of Christ's Hand!

Let Us Believe The Living Word
The Truth
The Given Light
The Way Of God
AND
Not The Lost Goat's Twisted Word!

Let Us Love Our Lord Jesus
AND
Trust
AND
WALK
In Our Daily Apportioned Faith! 

Satan Will Roar!
BUT
He Can't Touch You
Unless
You Doubt The Eternal And Almighty God
AND
With The Gross Liar Talk!

Don't Be An Eve! 

Don't Wander Away

AND

Don't Casually Indulge
In Useless Converse
With The Wily Fraud! 

Smoke And Mirrors
Are His Camouflage

So
Get Out Your Hammer Called Christ!
Turn On The Water Of Life!
Call Out The Holy Spirit!
AND
Do A Limpet
AND
Cling To Eternal Life!

Remember ...

The Crown Of Life
Is For Those Who 

Endure 

- To The End -

Carnal Strife
By
Clinging In Faith
To The Lord Christ!

There Is No Second Chance
No Do-Over
At Our One Human Life!

Live In Faith's Expectancy!

KJV Matthew 8
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Every Life Will Have Storms And Rough Seas!

TEARS ARE A LANGUAGE

THAT

GOD UNDERSTANDS!!

Finally ...

I Pray God That If I Ever Find Myself
In A Situation So Dire
That I Can't See The Way
That I Will
With My Cherished Mustard Seed Of Faith
My Hope
My Trust
My Belief
My Every Breath
Call Out
Cry Out
Plead
Beseech
Curse The Devil
Bless Christ
Run To The Rock
Shelter Under The Wings
Hold The Fort
Be Influenced By Good Angels
Be Chided By The Holy Spirit
Lean On Jesus
AND
Cast My Every Care On Him
AND RESTIn The Peace Which He Gives
- Which Passes Human Understanding -
To Awaken Refreshed
To See The Shining Sun

AND

Assuredly
The Son Of Righteousness
AND
Carry On
Walking In The Shadow Of The Cross
Praying The Promises
Looking Up To The Christ Of The Cross
So That I May Live Life In Christ Abundantly
AND
Not In The Lying Gospel Of Carnal Prosperity!

There Is No Hope In Death!

Cliche Or Not
Reach Out To Jesus
In Faith
By Faith
For Faith
AND
Live!

He Who Fights Sin 

AND

From The Devil Runs Away
Will Live To Fight In Jesus Christ's Faith
Another Day!

Hold On!
Don't Let Go ... Of Christ Jesus!

PRAYER:

Lord Of Mercy

Lord Of Grace

We, Your Children

Desire To See Your Face! 

The Battle Is Grievous!

The War Bitter!

The Strength Small!

Help Us, We Beseech You

Not To The Wiles

And

Whims Of The Devil

- In Surrender Of Faith - 

Fall!

In Jesus' Name, Save Us

Is Our Heartfelt Plea!

We Choose To Trust You At Your Word! 

AMEN.

PROFESSED PERKS: Satan's Worker Bees!

The Devil
Can Always Find Willing 
AND
Useful Usable Hands
To Do His Dirty Work
AND
Wherever You See
A "Happy" Congregation Of The Soon Damned
You Should Know
That Satan Has Been Handing Out
Professed Perks!

Why Do You Say Professed?!
His Buddies Think They're The Bomb!

That Sounds About Right!

Excuse Me?!

You're Excused!

Come On, Now! What Do You Mean?!

What Is A Perk?

In Its Simplest Form, A Pleasure!
A Lil' Berry That The Average Worker Bee Doesn't Get!

What Is A Bomb?!

An Explosive Device!

If A Bomb To Plain Eyesight
Looks To Be And Is
Shaped Like A Majestic Gold Crown
Tastes Like Fruit and Nut Chocolate
Smells Like A Night Rose
Feels Like Silkened Velvet
Sounds Like A Song Bird Concerto
Weighs Eight Ounces ... Half Pound
Fits In A Purse Wallet
AND
Bears No Hint Of A Curse
What Would You Call It?!

A Nice Tasting
Good Sounding
Wonderful Feeling
Exquisitely Expensive
Light Weight
Convenient To Carry
Easy On The Eye
Alien To The Truth
Explosive Device
Aka
BOMB!

Apt Description!
I Like It!

What Do Bombs Do When Activated?!

Explode!
Kaboom!!

And What Happens In The Vicinity?

Some Get People Killed Outright!
Some People Get Crippled!
Some People Get Blinded!
Some People Die Over Time By Degrees!

And ...

Some People Get PTSD Aka
Get
Physically
Traumatized And
Seek
Divine Help
AND
Some People
Put
Trust In
Self And Boldly
Deny Christ
AND
Still Others
- Momentarily Escaping Unscathed -
Put Stock In Satan's Putrid Power And
Trust Satan As God And
Seek Light In Darkness And
Damn God!
They To Themselves Fatally Lie!

All Told
People And Property Get Destroyed
AND
Those Precious To God Souls 
That Cannot Be Bought Again

Are Sold As Seasoning
AND
Acquired By The Devil As Flavoring
For The
- His -
Customized By The Eternal God
- No Return -
Lake Of Fire!

Some People Actually Believe
That They Are Working For God
By Laboring With The Devil
Luring Others To Sure Damnation!

They Have This Weird Assumption
That They're Doing God A Service!

Jesus Himself
In A Word Of Prophecy
Says Exactly That!

Satan Despises God!
God Sacrificially Loves Man!
Satan Hates Man
AND
Satan Destroys Man
In Order To Hurt God
So
How Could His "Gifts"
Putrid Posies
Professed Perks
Paltry Palmings
Be Anything But
Sure-Fire
Never Fail
Primed Always To Explode
BOMBS?!

Ducks Quack!
Rabbits Thump!
Call Christ!
Get Away From The Devil!
Don't Be A Chump!

Rain Falls!
Sun Shines!
Satan Is The Liar!
Jesus Christ IS God Divine!

Love Never Loses!
Hate Never Wins!
Stories From The Devil
Will Always Have
The Technicolor Spin!

Reach Out To Jesus!
Jesus Is Reaching Out To You!
Satan Can Never Be Man's Friend
So
From The Eternal God
Purchase A Free-To-All Clue!

The Final Word ...

Trust In God!

The Faith Of Jesus Can't Die!

Believe In The Written Promises!

Obey The Word Of God

AND

To The Glorious Kingdom

YOU

Will Fly!

PRAYER: Lord, Help Me Not To Turn Aside ...!

Father,

Thank You For The Blessings

In The Here And Now!

Thank You For The Blessings

Great And Small

And

In The Great Day To Come

The Blessings Gloriously Eternal!

Father,

I Beseech You

With All That Is In Me

To Not Let Ingratitude

Impatience

Willful Ignorance

Idleness

Nor Leaning To The Impossible

Become A Part Of Me

Or My Outlook

Because

I Am Looking To

And Longing For The God Who Promised 

To Strengthen Me

To Lift Me Up

To Provide For Me

To Forgive Me

To Save My Soul From The Second Death

To Prepare For Me An Eternal Home

And

To Leave The Beautiful Land

And Come For Me

To Take Me There To Be With Him

Forever!

I Believe The Word, Lord!

Let Not My Faith Fail!

Let Not My Hope Be Crushed!

Let Not The Light Fail To Burn

Because I, Doubting

Become A Fool

And Forget To Put The Available Oil Of Truth
In My Lamp!

Let Your Word, Lord

- From Your Mighty Hand -

Be To Me As My Daily Bread

Needful

Necessary

Provided

And Desired!

Lord,

Help Me Not To Turn Aside

To Fables

To Doctrines Of Devils

And

Giving Heed To The Seducing Spirits

Who Are Even Now In This Hour 

Plying Their Death-Dealing Trade

And

Calling The Unwary People

To Sure Damnation!

Keep My Eyes Open And Healthy, Father!

Grant Unto Me Spiritual Eyes

And

A Heart Of Flesh

Suitable For The Residence Of The Loving King

And Also Make Me Pure

For I Desire To Reach The Golden Shore!

Lord,

Make Me Free - You Promised!

I Love You - I Am Blessed!

Lead Me - I Am Following!

Let Not The Doings Of The Damned

Cause Me Unprofitable Stress -

Give Unto Me Your Peace

That Man Cannot Understand!

You Are My God - I Worship You

And

I Give Unto You My Life

And My Prayers

And My Worship

Until The End Of My Days!

In Jesus' Holy Name I Stand, And Plead!

AMEN.
