PRAYER: My Soul Is Quiet, Lord, And To Thee I Come!

Lord,

In All The Clamour Around Me

There Are Times When You Seem Far Away

And I Can't Seem To Feel Your Presence: 

It Makes Life Feel Awful Drear!

Father,

I Believe The Living Word

That You Are Always Present

So

When All The Voices Of Daily Life Are Far Away

In The Silence That My Soul Hears

I Am Waiting Listening

Hopeful

Needing The Help That Only The Holy God

The Creator Of Us All

The God Of The Ages

My Very Present Help

My Salvation

Can Give!

Lord,

I Worship You!

I Love You!

I Trust You!

I Need You, Now

Today!

I Ask For Help For Today

Because

The Word Says

Sufficient Unto The Day Is The Evil Thereof

Tomorrow Will Take Care Of Itself

For Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Man!

Lord,

You Said Come And Rest!

You Said To Bring My Burdens

And Leave Them With You!

You Said Cast My Every Care On You!

You Said Look Up And Live!

You Said Trust And Obey! 

You Said Take Your Yoke Upon Me

And Learn Of You!

You Said I Will Find Rest In You

For My Soul

Because You Are A Very Present Help!

You Said Come And Reason With You

And

Lord,

I Am Here!

Help Me!

Bless Me!

Use Me!

Lead Me!

Guide And Direct Me! 

Heal Me! 

Comfort My Soul! 

Help Me To Rest In You

Even In The Midst Of The Raging Sea

That Is Mankind

Many Of Whom Know Not Christ

Nor Seek After His Righteousness!

Father, 

I Am Listening

Help Me To Hear! 

I Am Available To You!

Please Draw Me Near! 

Help Me To Be Like Jesus

Seeking Your Face

Your Will

Setting Aside Self

And

Ever Ready To Your Will

Even Though It Hurts

For

The Day Is Coming 

When I, Like Jesus, 

Will See That For Which I Labor 

And

I Will Be Satisfied 

For I Will Have Awakened With His Likeness!

Please Keep Me In Your Care!

Help To Make Jesus Christ In My Life

The Treasure Most Dear! 

Help Me Not To Run After the World's Dross 

And

Help Me Never To Think That 

Anything Of The World Which I Willingly Give Up

Is A Thing To Be Counted As A Loss!

Father, 

I Have Chosen Jesus Christ As My Portion! 

I Desire Heaven As My City Of Eternal Residence

And

I Avidly Embrace The Knowledge That 

There Is A Personal Home Being Prepared For Me!

  

I Desire To Receive The Holy Inheritance

So, Please 

Send The Holy Angel To Protect 

And To Influence Me For My Eternal Good

And, Please 

I Beseech You

Keep Your Promise 

To Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me 

And Upon My Brethren

So That We May Bless Our Savior 

Our Lord

And

Our King!

Please Keep Us Faithful!

Please Keep Us On The Straight And Narrow Path! 

Please Help Us Not To Turn Aside To Fables

And

Not To Go After That Which Does Not

The Soul Satisfy!

Please Give Unto Us This Day Our Daily Bread!

Please Protect Us From The Evil One

And

Keep Our Hearts Fixed On The Lord Christ

When We Are In The Valley Of Temptation

And

E'er We Die

Mark Our Graves

And

Raise Us Up To Glory

In The Last Day

At The Last Trumpet

So That There Will Be Glory For Us!

We Desire To Sing The Song Of Jubilee!

You Are Holy, Lord

And

I Desire To Worship You

In Spirit And In Truth! 

Take My Hand!

I Am Following After You! 

Lead Me Safely Home

For I Am In Your Care

And Do Not Walk Alone!

I Ask These Few Mercies

In The Matchless Name Of The Beloved Son

Jesus Christ The Righteous!  

AMEN.

Glory For Me!?!

The Always-Present God 

Is 

His People's Refuge
To Whom They May Fly!
He Is The Great Truth, Also
Upon Whom They May Completely Rely!

The All-Knowing God Is Not A Man

Who Tells Lies For Conversation!
The All-Knowing God 

Is 

The Sovereign Lord
To Whom Man May Unafraid Run
For The Soul's Sweet, Free, Salvation!

The Living God Directs The Path Of The Faithful
So That His Feet Slip Not!
The Living God Makes Truth Shed Light
So That Man May Forego Known Sin's Blight

And

Not Suffer Sin's Known Blot!

The Eternal God's Home Is In Heaven Above
As Told In The Gospel Story
And 

Be Your Head Young
Or Old And Hoary
What  Awaits The Faithful 

Is 

Jesus Christ's Surpassing Glory!

 
Share The Wealth!
Tell Others The Good News Story!

Trust The All-Seeing God And Grow

And
Live Right And Know That
Jesus Christ The King Saves

And
He Frees The Sin-Slave
And 

Blesses The Sinner Saved
To Live Right And Clean
So That He Will Ascend To Heaven
To Forever Enjoy
The Forever Holy 

Blessed And Bright

Eternally Glorious
Glory Days!

Faithfulness To Jesus Christ

May Temporally Cost

And

Faithfulness To Jesus Christ

 Will Eternally Pay!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Changing Position

How Can You Not Want To Intimately Know Christ Jesus!?!
He's The Forever Friend!
How Can You Not Want To Personally Know Christ Jesus 

When He's Offering Life To All

And 

That Without End!?!

He Wants Too Much!

Too Much Of What, Pray Tell!?!

He's Not Like Anybody Else!

He Doesn't Play The Game!
He Doesn't Want A Little Bit Of Me
And Be Contented
He Wants Me Body Soul And Spirit
My Will
My Way
My Thoughts
My Actions
My Heart!
He Wants Me To Depart Old Habits Tried And True
And He Wants Me To Stop Sinning!
He Wants Me To Be Consumed With And In Him!

That's True!

How Can I Possibly Do That Is What I Ask You!?!

How Can I Stop Sinning
When A Sinner I Was Born!?! 

I Was Shaped In Iniquity
Planned Sin, You Know!
Mother Before Me Was Likewise Born!
Right Now, My Heart Is Torn!
I Feel Like A Sheep That Has Been Naked Shorn!

Don't You Believe Him!?!

Believe Him About What!?!

Victory Over Sin, You Know ... For Starters!
Setting Aside Self And Sinning
And
Decidedly Turning Satan Away!

That's Impossible!
Who Can Turn Satan Away!

Mavis!?!

Yes, Myrtle!?!

Mavis Adalua Greene
You Mean To Really Tell Me
That Your Satan Is Bigger Than
The Creator Of All Things!?!

Uh, Ah, ...!

Girl, You Must Be Drunk! 

Satan Is A Fallen Angel
A Reprobate That Can't Go Back Home
And
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 

Lord And King

Savior Redeemer Friend

Advocate
Sitting High And Lifted Up
Upon Heaven's Great White Throne!

You Really Can't Believe That Satan Is A Boss
When His Lying Warring Ways
Got Him Out Of Heaven Tossed!

Jesus Christ Bought 

And 

Brought Us The Victory
The Victory Over Sin
And 

I Refuse To Believe That 

You Would Let A Lost Cause Like Satan
Cost You Heaven
Because 

You Think He Could Win Something

Over The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
Who Triumphed Over Death Hell
Sin
And
The Self-Same Satan
And 

The Cold Dark Grave
On Calvary's Old Rugged Cross!

Well, When You Put It Like That
It Becomes Apparent That 

I Must Seriously, Honestly

Rethink My Present Standing Position!

Girl, You Better Hurry And Change Direction
Before You And The Second Coming
End Up In A Colossally Bad Collision!

I Am Certain That You Know That

Now Is The Acceptable Time!
That Now Is The Day Of Salvation!

Jesus Christ 

Is

Even Now

Still Extending Sweet Mercy To Fallen Mankind
So Accept It Now
For Soon There Will Be Total Division!

Total Division!?!
What On Earth Do You Mean!?!

Sheep And Goats!
Good And Evil!
Blessed And Saved!
Damned And Lost!
Souls Protected And Ministered Unto By Holy Angels
And
Souls Activated And Used By 

Fallen Angels Aka Demons!

I Don't Like The Sound Of That 

Evil Damned Goat Lost Demon-Possessed Business!
Did You Really Have To Tell Me About That!?!

Am I Your Friend, Yes Or No!?!

You've Been My Number One Since Forever!

Since That Is The Case, Then I Had To Tell You The Truth!

Why Does Truth Always Have To Be So, So, So Out There!?!
So Stark!
So Plain!
So Straight!
So Uncompromising!
So In Your Face!

So, So ...!

So Necessary!
So Unavoidable!
So Honest!
So True!
So Needful!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
All Of That!
When I Ignore The Truth
I Can Pretend All Is Right With Me And ...!

... You Can Walk About Proud
Supposedly Thriving
Under A Base Mantle Of Gross Falsity!

Let Me Show You Something ...

Under A Dry Blanket Is Warm
And
Under A Damp Blanket Is Warm
If
Everything Around You Is Wet!

If Every Person Around You Is A Bold Sinner
And
You, A Proud Christian
Looking Down Upon Them Wicked Sinners
Timidly Commit The Occasional Favorite Sin
What Does That Make You!?!

Ugh! 

It Makes Me A Self-Righteous "Christian" Sinner ... Damned!

Is It Worth It!?!

Have You Ever Really Studied Psalm 91!?!

Huh!?!

Psalm 91 ... He That Dwelleth In The Secret Place Of The Most High
Shall Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty ...!

I Read It All The Time!
I Really Like It!

But, Do You Understand What It Means!?!

They're Pretty Words That 

Make Me Feel Comforted And, And ...!

... And Even Now

You Don't Understand That
They're A Promise Given
To The People Of God
To Provide For And Protect Them
During The Time Of Trouble
And To Receive Them Into His Great Glory

At The Appointed Time!

I Just Read ... And Feel!

Aka You Don't Think On

You Don't Dwell Upon The Meanings Of The Words
Because
Your Taking Them On Board

Will Require You To Change Your Ways

Your Life

Your Living!

That's True!!

How Do You Know That!?!

I Know That Because I Was Once Like You!
If I Didn't Look Too Deep
I Could Rest Easy!
I Could Peacefully Sleep!

I Could Blithely Carry On

With Then Present Living

Because

I Was To The Lord God Almighty

Lip Service Giving!

Oh, Dear!!

That Expression Sounds Like You Already Had
That Encounter!

Had It!
Hated It!
I Try Valiantly To Avoid It!

So You Bravely Aka Cowardly Prefer
To Live A Lie
Than To Wisely Necessarily Face
Almighty God's Cleansing Truth
Which, Accepted
Will See You
- In The Fullness Of Time -
In Jesus Christ's Lovely Presence
Enjoying Eternal Youth
Ranging The Universe
Praising God
Seeing God Face To Face
Interacting With Those On Unfallen Worlds
Eating From The Tree Of Life
Walking Streets of Gold ...!

Stop! Stop!
Just Stop!

Isn't It Time
That You Take Your Burden To The Lord
And ...!

... Yes! I Know!
Leave It There!

Sooo, What Were you Waiting For!?!

A Moment Like This ...!

... The Lord Be Praised!

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For New Beginnings!

Indeed!

Just Don't Forget That

New Beginnings Are Only Possible

If

You're Alive!

Please Don't Ever Take Tomorrow For Granted!

I Know ... Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

HAPPY SABBATH + Look In The Holy Scripture Of Truth ...!

Have Faith
And
Fear Not
Are Workers For The Living God!

Have Faith
And
Fear Not
Walk In Truth
In The Service Of Jesus Christ The Lord!

Every Where That You See Them
You Will Hear A Simple Refrain:

Believe The Word!

Do The Work!

Trust His Hand

And

Come What May

You Shall At The Last Trumpet 

Victoriously, Triumphantly
Immortalized
Incorruptible
Glorified
Stand!

The Lord Is Not A Liar

Because

He Is The Truth

And

Not A Man!

What He Says He Will Do

He Will Do

And

Faith Not Failing

You Shall See Him

Mightily Work To Save

And

Eternally Bless And Prosper You!

But ...

Nigel A. Doubter

And

Lymus S. Fearful

Were Washing Out Their Mouths

On The Simple Believers Trusting In 
The Faith Of Christ Jesus
For

Trusting In The Word Of 

The God They Cannot Carry Or See

Be It Early In The Day Or Late!

And ...

Early One Morning

In The Summertime Late

Justus Believer

Had Reason To Challenge Them

As They Did The Usual Obfuscate!

Justus Believer Did Not Pontificate!

He Spoke Plainly And Simply

As He Did Not Have A Fiction To Create!

Brethren, Beloved

I Speak Here Unto You

Because

Doubter And Fearful Are Muddying The Waters

To Mamaguy You!

These Two Miscreants Work Faithfully For The Fraud

And

They See No Good Reason 

To Labor For The Holy God!

When You Look In The Holy Scripture

You Will Notice Quite Plain That

The King Of Glory Ever Always Utters

The Plaintive Refrain:

Fear Not!

Have Faith!

Trust And Obey!

Believe And Live!

Walk Holy!

Come Unto Me!

Come Let Us Reason Together!

Wait ... On The Lord!

My Burden Is Easy!

My Yoke Is Light!

Look Up And Live!

And

He Asks:

Why Would You Die!?!

This Doubter And That Fearful

Have Consciences Which Are Seared!

They Walk In The Wisdom Of Their Own Eyes

And

They Take Pleasure In Half-Truths

And

Outright Lies!

The Lord Is Our Shepherd!

He Is Our Light And Salvation!

He Is Our Hope For Glory!

And

He Has Laid Out For Our Edification

The Full Gospel Story!

Please, I Beseech You

Do Not Give In To Fear And Become Fearful

And

Don't Bow To Doubt And Become A Doubter

Because

These Two Naysayers

Will Never With The Redeemed Saints

And

The Holy Angels

Joyful Hallelujahs Resoundingly Shout!

If 
Jesus Christ 
Is 
Your Creator Lord God And King

Serve Him Wholly

Without Fear Or Doubting!

If 
His Word Is Faithful

And

His Promises Are True

You May Set Your Clock

Close Your Eyes

Rest In The Cold Grave

And Still

Rise Up Glorified

Immortalized

Incorruptible

And

In Your Own Flesh

To Highest Heaven ... Redeemed
Fly!

Mere Men Cannot Save Us!

Mere Talk Will Not Bless Us!

Living Truth Covers Us

And

As True Believers

We Must Walk Live And Work In Faith

Because

At The Time Appointed

We Shall Be The Ones Victorious!

Please Turn Your Back

On The Doubter

And

Set Aside Being As That One Fearful

Because

Your Master

The True Living Holy God

Is

Faithful And Just

Grace-Giving
Saving
Redeeming

And

Merciful

And

He Will Accept Your Homage

Your Worship

Your Prayers

Your Honor

Your Praise

As Long As It Is Done In Faithfulness

Nothing Wavering!

Do Not Be Like Those Naysayers

Who Have Only Assurance Of Life To Death

And 
Then Death ... Again!

Believe In The Lord Jesus Christ

And

Thou Shalt Be Saved
And

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever

For In The Lord Jehovah 
Is 
Everlasting Strength!

Brethren,

The Word Of The Lord Is A Strong Tower!

Be Ye Righteous 
And
Run To It 
And 
You Will Be Saved!

Doubter And Fearful
Are Dark Nights
With No Hope Of The Dawning Of The Sonlight
So

Place All Of Your Trust In The Lord Of Life

And

You Will Be .. To His Heart
A Holy Delight!

Doubter And Fearful
Left The Scene Of Their Denouement
As Would Those Who Are Ashamed!

Spiritually Benumbed!?!

Self Gratified
And
Pride Indulged
Belong To The Grand Clan
Spiritually Benumbed
And
They Are Proud Of It
Thank You Very Much!

These Two Ingrates
See No Reason To Deny Themselves ... Anything!
They See No Reason To Hold Their Tongues About ... Anything

And
They See No Reason Why They Should Be Deprived Of ... Anything
Since Their Greedy Souls Desire ... Everything!

The Desires Of Their Cold Hearts Were
Ridiculous ... Beyond Measure
And
They Honestly Feel
- They Are Into Feelings -
That The Earth Is Their Oyster
With Pretty Pearls To Be Greedily Plucked!

When It Comes To Giving Alms
They Become As Buttoned-Down Clams!
Their Attitudes Stink
And
They Do Not Care Who Disagree With Them

Because Their Opinions Are The Only Opinions That Matter!

Believe Or Not ...

They Consider Themselves To Be Just Like
Christian Devout
Who Leans, Leannnnns On
Jesus Christ The Lord
And
Seeks To Ease The Burdens Of
Those Less Fortunate Than Himself!

They Couldn't Have Been More Wrong!

What Little Christian Devout Has
He Shares
And
Because Of His Meek Kind Gentle
Giving Spirit
He Is A Contented Soul Who Lacks Nothing! 

He Was Contented In Christ
And
Like The Apostle Paul
Happily Said:

I Know To Abase
And I Know How To Abound!
With Little Or Much
I Am Content
For Jesus Christ My Lord
Wears Heaven's Crown
And To Him, My Heart Belongs! 

You Will Often Hear Him Singing
A Happy Zion Song!

He Has Not Big House!
He Has No Fancy Car!
He Has The Love Of His Lord Jesus
And
That Love Will See Him ... One Day
Ranging Among The Stars
BecauseHe Willingly Walked To And Through The Door
Which Is Presently Open To All Men
And 

Is Still Now, Actually Ajar!

Those Other Two Believe
That Life Revolves Around Them
And
They Desire The Homage Of
Their Poor And Fellow Men! 

They Will Not Have A Good End!

Humble Yourselves
Under The Mighty Hand Of God
And He Will Lift You Up!

Grossly, Roundly, Offends Their Black And Cold Hearts!

Give And It Will Come Back To You!

Causes Them To Break Out In Hives!

Love Your Brother As You Love Yourself!

Causes Them To Utter:

Lies! Lies! It Is A Lie!

They, In Their Haughty Ways
Daily
Do The God Of Heaven
Blithely Deny!

They See No Coming Glory

And
They Do Not Believe That Christ Jesus
Will Break The Eastern Sky!

They Believe In
"Eat Drink And Be Merry
For Tomorrow Ye Die!"

And

They Intend To Go Out In A Blaze Of Glory!

They Are Not Wrong!

The King Is Coming!
Are You Washed and Ready!?!
The King Is Coming!
Are Your Sins Confessed
Or Are You Living In Sin, Drunk
And
Doing Things High-Minded And Heady!?!

Almighty God Is Not Mocked 

And
Satan Desires The Lake Of Fire
With His Minions To Be Stocked!
Will You Be One Of Them
Or Do You Have Jesus Christ
In Your Heart Locked!?! 

The King 

Is

Coming! 

Are You In The Lost Goat Herd
Or In The Safe Sheep Flock!
Is Heaven Your Home
Or Is The Lake Of Fire To Be
Your Final Dock!?!

Only You Can Give The Answer!
Only You Know
If
Your Plan Is For Heaven
Or For The Lost-Man Lake Of Disaster!

Sin Is Cancer! 

Jesus Christ Is Cure! 

Come To Him Today! 

Healing Is Sure! 

Walk To Him Now ... Quickly! 

He Is The Open Door!
