ACCOUNT: Closed!?! + PRAYER: Thank You In Advance For The Blessings, Dear Father!

Did You Know
That The Commercial Bank Reserves The Right
To Close Any Account ... For Any Reason!?!

No, I Didn't Know That!
Why Would They Do Such A Thing?!

Forget That!
Do You Know That If The Lord God Almighty Did That
People Would Live Differently?!

He Does
And
People Don't!

How Can You Say That?!

Because It Is True!

Can You Prove That?!

Sure!
That's An Easy One!

Okay. Convince Me!

No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour
When The Son Of Man Shall Come!

And

You Do Not Know The Hour Of Your Personal Visitation!

I'm Still Waiting!

Do You Know When You're Going To Die!?!

Of Course Not!

Do You Know When Jesus Christ Is Returning To This Earth!?!

Of Course Not!?!

Did You Think That All Those People
Who Died In
The World Trade Center
The Japan Tsunami
The Pulse Night Club Shooting In Florida
The Christians In Church In Egypt
The People In Grenfeld Tower In England
And
The Concert Goers In Las Vegas
Knew That Their Accounts Were Effectively Closed

In The Instant That They Died!?!

No, But ...!

We Know That Death Is Promised To All Mankind
Because Of The Sin Of Our Fore-Parents In Eden's Garden
So, I Ask You

Has Man Changed Since The Sentence Was Passed!?!
Have People Changed Since The Last Tragedy!?!

No, They Have Not!

Do You Know How Many People Have Died 
By Fire, Tornado, War, Storms And Shootings 
Since We Started This Conversation!?!

I Couldn't Possibly Know That!?!

Man Must Give An Accounting To The Eternal God
For All That He Does In The Flesh!
There Is No Purgatory!
There Is No Do-Over

And
There Is No Second Chance 
To Get The First Chance Right!

Man Needs To Seize The Opportunity
To Get Out From Under Sin's Blight!

We Must Against That Wicked Satan
In Jesus Christ's Matchless And Holy Name

Valiantly Fight!

You Know What?!

What?!

You're Right!

PRAYER:

Loving Father,

Most Holy God

We Come Before As True

And

Committed Believers!

Please Protect Us

Against The Wiles Of Satan

The Known Gross And Murdering god-Fraud!

Father,

We Are Little Children

Needing Your Blessed Guidance Today

And

We Come Before You, Ready

Willing

Please Make Us Able Always

To Do Whatever To Us You Say!

Please Firm Our Resolve, Dear Father!

Please Help Us Ever To Walk In The Light!

Please Bless Us With All Blessing

So That The Heart Of The Lord Christ

We Shall Surely Delight!

Grant Unto Us Your Gracious Favor!

Please Grant Unto Us Sweet Peace

And

Blessed Rest

And

Bless Lord, We Beseech You

To Desert Known Sin

And

With Contrite Hearts

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

With Alacrity

To Humbly Confess!

We Love You, Lord!

You Love Us!

We Need You, Lord!

You Are Our Only Hope!

We Trust You, Lord!

We Have The Faith Of Christ Jesus

And

It Is Our Renewed Heart's Desire

To Live Forever In Glory

With The Saved

The Redeemed

The Glorified

The Immortalized

Those Purchased Ones Faithful

Those Children Of The Father

The Family Called Eternally Blessed!

Thank You For Hearing Our Prayer

And

Thank You In Advance

For Granting These Few Petitions

Because We Ask All

In The Matchless Name

Of

The Lord Jesus Christ

Our Creator Savior

Redeemer

And

Soon Returning King!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Eternal God Loves You, Personally!

Almighty God Loves Me ... Personally!

That's Nice!

He Loves You, Personally, As Well!

Is That Right!?!

Yes, It Is!

How Do You Know That To Be The Truth!?!

John 3:16 In My Trusty Old King James Says It Plainly!

Okay.

You Don't Sound Very Convinced To Me!

I Will Not Tell A Lie!
I'm Not! ... Really!

Let Me Holler At You ...

I Love Peppermint
And
I Have Just One Peppermint!
I Was About To Open It For A Treat!
You Start Coughing And Ask Me If I Have A Peppermint!
I Have A Want!
You Have A Visible Need!
I Make An Informed Call!
I Leave Out Myself And I Give My Only
And
Cherished Peppermint 
To You!

Do I Love You Or Not!?!

That Doesn't Prove A Thing!
You May Have Just Felt Sorry For Me!
You Were Just Being Kind!

That Is Exactly The Attitude Of Ungrateful Humans
To Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Most Precious Given Unto Us
By Almighty God!

Excuse Me!?!

If You Really Saw And Acknowledged Your Need
You Would Realize That Jesus Christ Is The Perfect Gift
Who Keeps On Giving ... For Eternity!

Father God
Did Not Have To Give His Only Son To Save
A Bunch Of Ungrateful Dust Bunnies!
He Is Almighty 
And
He Could Have Wiped The Slate Aka Earth, Clean
But
He Loved, Loves, Us With An Everlasting Love
And
Recognizing That There Was, Is, Nothing Of Ourselves
That Could Remove From Our Persons
The Damning Stain Of Sin
He Chose To Give Of His Everlasting Love
To Save Us From Our Own Sin!

But That's Like The Head Teacher Spanking Himself
For A Beloved Student's Bad Behavior!

I Could Kiss You!
You Are Absolutely Brilliant!

What Was That Verse Again!?!

John 3:16

For God
(From The Beginning)
So Loved The World
(The All-Encompassing Love Is Holy And Divine)
That He Gave
(To The Fallen And Cursed World ... Willingly)
His Only Begotten Son
(There Is No More "Blood" Progeny In God's House)
That Whosoever Believeth On Him
(Every Man's Got To Willingly Choose To Believe That He Is)
Shall Not Perish
(The Wages Of Known Sin Is Certain Death)
But Have Everlasting Life!
(Jesus Christ Bought And Paid For
And Promises Us A Forever Life In His Father's House)!

If That Isn't Love
I Don't Want To Know
I Have No Desire To Know What Else Could Be!

I Never Considered It Like That!

Maybe It's Time That All Of Us Do See It Like That!
If We Don't, We Are In For An Eternity Of Hurt
Aka Eternal Separation From Almighty God!

Indeed!
The Fate Worse Than Death!

I Never Knew That There Was A Fate Worse Than Death!

Well, Brother, You Know Now!

**--**--**--**--**

The Gift Of Love Is Precious!
The Giver Of The Gift Is Almighty God
Who Gave His Beloved Son To Save Our Souls
From Sin And The Second Death
Which Is Eternal Separation From 
The True And Living Eternal Holy God!

The Gift Of Love Costs Us Nothing!
The Gift Cost Our Father In Heaven 
The Only Begotten Son
And All Who Will To Be Forever Saved
Must Turn To The Righteous Son
In Total Adoration
And Thereby Give That Wicked Old Satan None!

The Holy Gift Is The True Blessing

To All Who Will Believe Holy Truth

And

Deny The Bold Liar

Whose Sworn Task Is To Mankind Deceive

Into Sin And Bold Rebellion

To Hate And Not To Love

So That They Will Be Damned As He Is

Because

They Won't Recognize Until It Is Too Late

That They Will Suffer His Just And Known Fate!

Let No Created Being Deceive You
Nor Rob You Of Your Gift Of Love:
Eternal Life In The Glorious Courts
In Highest Heaven Above!

The Word Of Truth Is Your Road Map!
The Good Shepherd Of Rest Is Your Guide!
The Holy Angels Are Your Strong Guardians
And 
The Holy Spirit Is Your Comforter Inside!

Bless Almighty God, My Brothers And Sisters!
Bless Almighty God Who Thinks On Me And You!
Bless God Who Has An Eternal Home In Glory
And
Bless The Lord Christ Who Preparing A Place There
Just For Me!
Just For You!

HAPPY SABBATH: Stay On Topic, People Of The Living God! + PRAYER: Bless Us To Do Right, Lord!

Blessings Reward Obedience!
Judgments Follow Transgression!
Herein, Brethren
Is The Outcome For The Christian One
And 

For He Who Holds The Hypocrite's Position
Never Winning The Race
Always Being In Position No. 2!

Fact:There Are No Hypocrites In Heaven!
There Are No Silver Medalists!
There Is No One Called Also-Ran
And
In Hell There Is No Air-Conditioner
Nor Personal Cooling Fans!

You Say You Are Running The Race For The Win
So
Run With Commitment
And
Stop Playing With Pet Sin!

Stop Taking Your Pet-Sin To Snuggle With You In Bed!
Stop Putting Cute Costumes On Your Pet-Sin
So That Can Say
"This Ain't No Sin: I Should Know!"

Stop Taking Your Pet-Sin To Work
On Bring Your Pet To Work Day
And
Stop Arranging Pet-Sin Play-Dates
As Though You Don't Know Sin's Final Fate!

Do You Remember The Pet Rock Craze!?!

We Sure Do!

Pray Tell Me
What Did That Do For You!?!

Everybody Who Was Anybody Had A Pet Rock
So I Got Me A Pet Rock, Too!

What About You, Peter!?!

It Was A Rock!
I Had Many In My Yard
So I Saw No Good Reason
To Purchase Pure Folly
With The Money I Work For So Hard!

Maaaan, You Were So Square!
You Probably Used To Call Ice Hard Water!

I Did!
... And It Is!

Let Me Guess, Adrian
You Bought Canned Dehydrated Water
And ...

... Unicorn Meat!

Stay On Topic, People!

As Christians
We Must Keep Our Appetites And Lusts
In Control
And
We Must Accept That
The Only Way To Salvation
Is 

Through The Lord Christ
And
We Must Stop Allowing Ourselves To Be Diverted
By Trivialities Aka The Demonic Device!

Come On!

People Just Want To Have A Little Fun!

So, Let Me Ask You:

Which Part Of Willfully Playing With Known Sin
Would You Call "Having A Little Fun!?!"

Which Part Of "Depart From Me, Ye Workers Of Iniquity!" 

Sounds Like "Fun" To Any Of You!?!

Which Part Of Your Standing Outside Of
The Gates Of New Jerusalem
Decrepit In Body
And 

Damned Just Like Satan
For All Eternity
- By Your Own Willing Personal Choice -
And 

Seeing The Glorified Immortalized Youthful Saints Of The Lord Christ
Happy And Blessed
And
Gowned And Crowned
And 

Forever Saved And Safe Inside
Would You Call "Having A Little Fun!?!

Brethren,The Time For Fun And Games Is Over!
The Prophetic Clock ... Always Correct
And 

Always To Time
Is Smartly Chugging Along!
One Nation Wants All Its People To Worship The Sun!
The Same Nation Says You Do Not Have 

Exclusive Right To Your Own Body!
Sunday Laws Are Being Passed Amongst The Nations!
Creation Is Groaning!
Religion Is Being State Sponsored!
The Church Dictating To The State Is Being Heralded!
The Animals Are Being Withdrawn As Prophesied!
Calamities Are Increasing In Frequency And Magnitude!
Men's Hearts Are Grown Cold ...!

 
... Men's Hearts Are Failing Them For Fear Of
The Things Which Are To Befall Mankind ...!

... The Nations Are Angry!

Brethren,Salvation Is Available ... And Free!
Mercy Is Available ... And Free!
Grace Is Free And Available ... And Sufficient!

Jesus Christ's Faith Is ...

... The Gift That Takes A Licking
And Still Stands Firm ...!

We Need That Faith
That Can Take Disappointment
Deprivation
Delay
That Is Not Swayed By The Wily Foe
That Looks Up To The Lord Jesus Christ
That Is Comforted By The Holy Spirit
That Is Protected By The Holy Angels
And
Patiently Enduring Holds To Almighty God's Unchanging Hands
Knowing
Believing 

That The Great Day Will Arrive
When He That Promised Will Come
And
Shall Not Be Silent!

When You Put It Like That

We Really Need The Lord Jesus!

PRAYER:

Father Of The Faithful,

Sovereign Lord Of The Universe

We, Your Believing Children

Seek Your Favor

To Help Us To Get Out From Under Sin's Curse!

Loving Father,

King And True

Grant Unto Us The Portion Of Daily Faith

Sufficient For The Day

Promised To All Who Will To Believe

To Love

To Trust

To Honor

To Worship

And

To Obey

The Word Made Flesh

Who Dwelt Among Us!

Oh, Father,

Please Grant Us Your Free-To-All Grace!

Please Help Us To Stand Firm

To Accept The Word Of Truth

From Whomever Will Deliver It

And

To Deny The Liar

Whether He Be Dressed As Priest

Prophet Pope Prince Preacher

Pastor Parent President

Or Dear Friend!

Oh, Lord,

The Days Are Getting Darker!

The Foe Seems Oh, So Strong

But We

Who Trust And Love Our Lord

Stand On The Promise

That The Great Day Of Small

 Things

Will Be Here E'er Long!

Please Help Us To Hold On!

Please Bless Us To Do Right

To Live Right

To Tell The Old Story

To Ever Speak The Truth

And

Hold High The Converted-To-Christ

Christian Banner

And

To Encourage The Young And The Old

And

The Hurting Youth!

Thank You For The Grace!

Thank You For Ever-Increasing Faith!

Thank You For Our Forgiveness!

Thank You For The Certain Hope

And

Thank You For The Most Gift Of The Lord Jesus

By Whose Willing Sacrifice

Unto Your Holy Throne

We May Humbly Approach!

Please Grant Us These Few Petitions

For 

We Ask In Faith

Nothing Wavering

And

In The Holy Name Of The Beloved

Our Lord And Savior

Jesus Christ!

We Love You, Lord!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

Almighty God Is Particular And Specific!

We Know Of A Surety ...

The Wages Of Sin = DEATH
The Gift Of Almighty God = ETERNAL LIFE

What You Reap = WHAT YOU SOWED
Give = GET BACK

Sow The Wind = REAP ... THE WHIRLWIND

Honor Your Father and Mother = LONG LIFE IN THE LAND 
Do Good = GOOD ATTENDS YOU

Confess Your Sin = ALMIGHTY GOD WILL FORGIVE
Repent = BE BAPTIZED

Walk by Faith = DON'T TRUST YOUR EYESIGHT
Know Jesus Christ The Lord = KNOW FATHER GOD

**--**--**--**--**

I Awakened Early One Sabbath Morning 
Only To Hear An Older Woman's Voice 
Coming Through The Bedroom Window Cheerily Singing:

Trust And Don't Pay!

Thief And Don't Care!

Huh!?!

And She Sang It Again! 
And Again! 
... And Again!

Yup!
It Was Real
And She Had Obviously Lost Her Mind! 
... Or Had She?

She Did Not Sound Inebriated! 
She Sounded ... Well ... Normal!

I Was Stunned Out Of My Gourd!

Let's Do Some Math ...

Older Woman = Elder Statesperson

Yup!
This Was An Elder Statesperson
Singing Aloud Some Really Bad Advice
As Though She Was On A Mission!

Could I Assume She Had Not Gotten The Memo

And

Was Headed

- Lacking Living Truth -

To A Collison!?!

Or, Perhaps

She Was A Change Agent For The Fraud

And

Earning Her Daily Pay!

She Was Singing Like She Didn't Care!

Whatever Her Reason

She Wasn't Working For The Holy God

And

It Is Certain That Her Siren Song

Would Land A Foolish One ... Thinking Flawed

In The Clutches Of The Law!

Facts Rule ...

Man, Broken
- Financially, Spiritually, Emotionally -

Cares Not Who He Breaks Down

And

This Is As It Has Been

From The Time Of The Beginning

When Big Brother Cain Wanted Baby Brother Abel

To Indulge In Rebellion
Against The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

And

Because Abel Refused To Indulge
In Willful Disobedience

He Killed Him! 

Just Like Satan

Cain Was A Card-Holding Hellion!

But ... 

Be Ye Warned, Brethren In The Truth:

Almighty God
The Eternal One
The God Of All Graces
Is 
Particular And Specific
And
Decidedly Not Wildly Capricious

Running His Business As Does The Loose Goose!

Almighty God Is The God Of Order

And

He Does Not Make Mistakes
And

Under No Circumstance
Will Almighty God
Wickedness And Rebellion Tolerate

So

If You Hear One Of The Elders
- Be It Mother Father Uncle Auntie
Neighbor Brother Sister Friend
Preacher Pastor Employer Town Ruler
Prophet Priest President Pope King -

Chanting A Fair Ditty

Don't Bite

Because That Fair Ditty Is A Wicked Kitty

That Spits, Scratches And Tears

Though Its Purrs Sound

Oh, So Witty!

Don't Brush That Kitty

But
- Of Necessity -

Esteem The Holy One With Godly Fear! 

Christians Seeking After Signs And Wonders!?!

Believing In Signs And Wonders Is No Panacea For A Christian
Neither Is Foolishly Putting Almighty God To The Test
Nor Indulging In Dangerous Feats 

To Demonstrate Our Commitment To Or Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ!

The Surest Way To Prove Your Commitment To Our Lord
Is 

To Obey The Lord

Keep All His Commandments
And

Conscientiously Do What He Says!

I Recently Viewed A Video Of A "Pastor" 

"Proving" His Congregation's Commitment To Christ
By Personally Feeding Those Willing To Take The Test
From A Known Bottle Of Bleach!

Six Of Them Died!

Instantly
- At One And The Same Time -
I Was Angry, Horrified And Vengeful!

But, Then 

I Came To My Senses And Remembered The Word:

Vengeance Is Mine, Saith The Lord!

 

Be Angry And Sin Not!

Take It All To The Lord In Prayer!

It Is Time To Face Facts ...

When Are Believing Christians Going To Truly Start Believing The Lord At His Holy Word!?!
When Are Believing Christians Going To Stop Permitting These Silver-Tongued Snake-Oil Salesmen - Masquerading As Men And Women Of God -To Cause Them To Indulge In Gross Folly, To Clean Out Their Bank Accounts, And To Put Their Lives In Sure And Certain Mortal Danger, And To Put There Souls In Eternal Danger!?!

The Apostle Paul Wrote Of Their Ilk
- In The Person Of Simon The Sorcerer -
To Warn The Church Against This Deviltry!

Following What The Crowd Does Is Definitely Not Smart
And 

Most Assuredly Not Wise!

If Your Church Leader Cannot By Chapter And Verse
- With The King James Bible In Your Hot Hand
Interpreting Itself -
Produce The "Thus Saith The Lord!"
Either Get The Rid Of Him
Or Make Your Presence Absent
Whichever Will Keep Your Marching To Zion
And 

Following The Lamb That Was Slain
Wither Soever He Goes!

When Will We Accept That
For Every Tenet Of Jesus Christ The Lord
That Will See Us Enjoying Eternal Life
Satan, The Arch-Deceiver
Has A Counterfeit!?!

Jesus Gives Faith
Satan Inspires Doubt

Jesus Requires Willing Obedience
Satan Encourages Willful Disobedience

Jesus Purchased Salvation
Satan Sells Damnation

Jesus Is The Truth
Satan Is The Father Of Lies

Jesus Gives Life
Satan Instigate Death

Jesus Says Wait
Satan Encourages Haste

Jesus Was Scorned For Us
Satan Temps Us To Scorn Jesus

Jesus Leads
Satan Pushes

Jesus Modeled Perfect Obedience
Satan Models Malicious Disobedience

Jesus Christ Is Creator, Savior, Sustainer, Lord And God
Satan Is The Malevolent And Outright Fraud

I Ask One Simple Question:

Since We Call Ourselves

Committed-To-Christ Christians

And There Will Be No Fools

In The Eternal God's Kingdom

Why Are We So Frequently Gullible!?!

Remember ...

Satan Cost Man All!
Jesus Christ Paid All For Man To Be Redeemed!

Who Are YOU  Going To Believe In And Trust!?!
You, Alone, Know The Answer!

IT MUST BE SAID: Cultivating Gratitude!

I Had A Single Grain Of Gratitude
And I Sincerely Wished For More
So I Put It In A Pot Of Care
And I Placed On A Sunny Shelf
Near My Entrance Exit Door!

I Told A Friend About My Desire
To Have Gratitude Blooming Richly In My Sphere
And I Was Shocked To The Max
At The Words That She Spake
And I Wondered If Cultivating This Friendship
Had Been A Sad Mistake!

She Bitterly Said:

What Do You Have To Be So Grateful About!?!
Your Life Is As Hard Is Mine!
Breaking Up Fractions To Know How To Live
Is A Task That I Roundly Despise!

I Don't Know What It Is That You Want To Be So Grateful For
When Each Day Is As Hard As Every Other
When Money Is Tight
When Health Is No Delight
And Just Looking At Another Person
Is Reason For Them To Pick A Fight!

I Replied:

Aren't You Glad You're Alive!?!
Aren't You Glad You Don't Have Cancer!?!
Aren't You Glad You Have Eyesight
And Your Legs Are Still With You
And No One Has To Push You Around
And In Your House There Is Still Reason For Laughter!?!

The Look I Received Was Chilling To Say The Least
And We Parted With No Words Of Affection!
I Went My Own Way
And To The Living God Said My Grateful Prayers
And Sought To Understand Why Words Of
Thanks And Gratefulness
Were So Hard For Some Of Us To Say!

The Scenario Is Not Real
But The Concept Is Very True
And All We Have To Do
Is To Look Critically Around Us
And We Shall See The Living Proof:

People Discontented With What They Have
Which Is More Than What Someone Has Or Some Other
But A Lot Less Than That Friend
This Brother Or Another!

Discontent Is An Offshoot Of Pride
And A Great Family To Greed
And Believe It Or Not
The Rich Want The Health Of Poor
Who Want The Wealth Of The Rich
Who Want The Peace And Rest Of Those 

Who Have Not Tasted Runaway Success!

We Ask For What We Want!
We Get What We Need
And Then We Blame God
For Not Really Knowing Each Heart
How To Feed!

Ingratitude In The Young Is Ugly!
Ingratitude In The Old Is A Disgrace
And We All Need To Do A Serious Think
About What Would Be The Outcome
If The Lord God Almighty
Loving King Blessing Faithful True
Were To Deal With Each One Of Us
According To Our Practice Of 

Not Returning Words Of Thanks And Prayers Of Gratitude!

We Beg Too Much

And

We Say Thanks Too Little!

Almighty God Does Not Owe Us Anything

But We, Ingrates That We Are

Owe Almighty God Everything!
