VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: IED's And LED's

I Had The Right To Do It!
I Was Justified!

Hold Up, Baby Girl!
Just So You Know
You See That Justified Business
It Has An IED At The End!

Who Cares!?!
IED, LED, Whatever!

You May Want To Rethink That, Luv!

Why Should I!?!

Do You Even Know What An IED Is!?!

Don't Know, Don't Care!

Hmmm!
Would You Care To Sit With Me For A Moment!?!

If You Insist!

I Do!

Very Well!

Sweet Girl,
An IED Is An Improvised Explosive Device
And
When It Is Triggered
Anything And Everything
In Its Proximity Gets Ripped Apart
Destroyed
So You May Not Want To Indulge Being Self JustifIED!

You Can't Carry It Before The Lord!
The Holy Spirit Does Not Entertain It!
It Has No Excuse For Its Position
In Your Life
So, Please, Please, Please Discard It!

Self Justification
Like Self-Righteousness
Makes You Your Own Surety
Your Own Security
Your Own Lamb
Your Own Shepherd
Your Own High Priest
Your Own Lord
Your Own God
Your Own Provider
Your Own Sustainer
Your Own Help
Your Own Savior
Your Own Redeemer ...!

... Stop!
Enough Already!
Why Did You Have To Say All That!?!
I Was Enjoying Myself
Lording It Over That, That, Person
Who Done Wronged Me
And Whom I Enjoyed Fixing ... For Sure
And You Just Blew A Hole In My Balloon!
I Really, Really, Reallllly Want To Hate You!

Your Funeral!

But Wait A Minute!
You Talked About The IED!
What About The LED!?!

Ah, LED!
The "Let Envy Destroy" Me Light!
You Don't Want That Either!
IED Aka Inappropriate Anger
And
LED Aka Envy 
Are Satan's "Sweet" Treats
Disguised As Necessary Emotions
To Get Us Across Life's Ocean
Where People Won't Cooperate With Us
Have What We Deserve

Refuse To Give In To Our Desires

And

Just Plain Refuse To Let Us 
Lord It Over Them Like We Are Strong Towers!

Oh, My!

Nice Expression!

"My" Anger, "My" Envy

Won't Get Me On "My" Knees!

"My" Envy, "My" Anger

Places Me In Spiritual 
And 
Physical Danger!

Oh, Dear!

Nice Expression ... Again!
How About

Oh, Dear Lord

Have Mercy On Me!

Help Me To Do Right

Even If I Am Not With It Comfy!

Be Warned ... 

There Is No Reason ... Ever ... For Envy

Because

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Lord And Our God

- Not A Respecter Of Persons -

Provides Amply For Us All!

Anger Without A Just Cause Is Folly

Be It Found In Prince Or Paper Boy!

Anger Without A Just Cause

Leads To Hate

Leads To Murder

And 
We All Know That No Murderer

- No Wrath-Filled Person -

Shall Enter ... Shall Enjoy

The Lord's Great Reward!

So, When Would It Be Good To Be Angry

Or Better Yet
Over What Should I Get Angry!?!

Easy Question!

Sweet Girl, Get Good And Righteously Indignant

Aka Get Angry Over ... Sin!

Don't Be Patient With It!

Don't Be Considerate Over It!
Don't Make Excuses For It!

Be Angry Over Sin

And

Get Thee Unto The King

Concerning All Things Which Would See You Being 

An Unredeemed Recipient Of The Curse Of The Fall! 

Thanks Kindly For The Correction: I Needed It!
Satan Earned His Reward
But I Shall Take Heed To Be Repentant And Wise
And I'll Be Waiting ... In Faith ... With Peace
When Jesus Christ Comes Back To This Blue Ball!

That's Great, Beloved!
Let Us With The Gentle Jesus Stand Tall!
Unrestrained, Unfocused, Anger
Over Anything That Is Not Known Sin
Creates Nothing But Bitter Gall! 
It Is Not Sweet
And
It Only Leads To Poor Health
And
Spiritual Defeat!

From That Position 
I Shall Beat A Hasty Retreat!!

Thank You, Lord!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHARACTERS AND LABELS: This-Man 'N That-Man

Scant Measure
And
Deceitful Balance
Reside In Popular Religion
Where Cheap Prosperity Is Preached!

Truth Be Told ...

That-Man Proud Cherished That Popular Religion
And
In So Doing
That-Man Became An Abomination
In The Eyes Of The Eternal God
And
A Thing To Destroyed
Because
His Heart Relished Disobedience
And 
Indulged In Known Confusion!

Hear The Right ...

A Just Weight
And
A Just Balance
Are Both From The Holy God
And
Anything Less
Is 
Compliments Of The Fraud!

This-Man Faithful
Took The Living God Holy At His Eternal Word
And
Consciously Chose To Do Right
Because 
Right Is Its Own Reward!

This-Man Is An Offence
To That-Man
Because
This-Man's Works Are Righteous
And
That-Man's Are Evil!
It Continually Causes Problems
And
That-Man Is Angry
And
Is Displaying Hate
And
Is Becoming Down-Right Envious!

He Was Recently Seen
Caressing A Brick!

That-Man Is Cain!
This-Man Is Abel!
These Names Are Characters!
These Names Are Labels!

Know The Right ...

Only Those Who Walk Together Will Agree
And
Since Abel Chose To Walk With Almighty God
And
Cain Chose To Walk With Satan The God-Fraud
It Was Obvious
They Would Each Laud Their Own God!

Cain Caused Abel To Permanently Say
"Good Night!" 
To The Son's Light
And
Satan Wrapped Cain In Bold Self's Chains
And
Caused Cain To Walk Wild And Willful
Seeking After Temporal Gain!

Abel Had Kept Covenant With The Eternal God
And
Is Resting At Peace In His Long Home
Waiting ... Undisturbed
Unaware Of The Passage Of Thing 
Until The Last Trumpet Shall Sound
And
He Shall Arise To Give Praise And Worship
To The God Of All Grace ... In Glory
Where Eternal Days Shall Abound!

Cain Chose That Which Does Not Eternally Profit!
Cain Chose To Listen To Him Who ... We All Know
Is 
The "Excellent" False Prophet
Telling Lies
Promising What He Has No Power To Deliver
Selling Deceit
Encouraging Conceit
Preying Always On The Weak
The Willful
The Wayward
The Wild
The Unwise
Who Choose To See Self Exalted
Who Choose To Accept Putrid Promises
And
Bathe In Sin
As They The God Who Saves, Seals And Heals
With Apparent Impunity, Defy
Deny!
Satan Is The Father Of Lies!

In The Day Of Small Things

They ... Ever Disobedient

Gainsaying
Doubting
Shall Mourn And Gnash Their Teeth
And
Try To Hide
And
Knowing Themselves To Be Forever Lost 
To The Kingdom Of Light
With Bitter Tears Shall Cry!

They Shall Be Forever Separated From
The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Lover Of Our Souls
And
Shall Eternally Die!
They Loved And Practiced Lies!

Brethren,

Do You Actions Correspond To Your Faith!?!

The Lord Wants To Save Us From
The Penalty Of Sin ... Death!

The Lord Will Justify Us ... By Faith

Immediately!

The Lord Wants To Save Us From
The Power Of Sin ... Guard Your Heart!

The Lord Will Sanctify Us ... Make Us Holy

Day By Day

Throughout Our Lives!

No Instant Gratification Here!

The Lord Wants To Save Us From
The Presence Of Sin ... Don't Walk Back There!

The Lord Will Glorify Those

Who Stand The Test Of Time

Wisely, Obediently, Faithfully, Enduringly

When He Shall Come In His Glory

To Claim His People

And

Take Them To The Mansions 

That He Is Presently Preparing For Them

In His Father's House!

Only Those Who Obey Every Word Of Almighty God

And

Hold The Eternal God In Godly Fear

Until Life Shall Pass

Or 

The Lord Christ In Triumph Shall Come

Shall Abide With Him In The Land Of The Blessed

For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity!

May Our Lord And Savior Find Us Faithful

A People Prepared And Ready

To Meet ... In Peace

The True And Living Holy God!

Jesus Christ Is Life!

Satan Is Death

And

We All Have 

A Personal

One-Time Decision To Make

As To Our Eternal Health!

Stop Betraying The Lord Christ!

Situationally Ethical 
Is 
A Christian
Supposedly Committed And Caring!
Situationally Ethical 
Is 
A Christian
Obviously Lacking In Daring!

Situationally Ethical ... The Christian
Has No Problem With Sharing
Sees No Problem With His Standard Of Living Paring
But
Seriously Has A Problem
When It Comes His Neck To Baring
To The Sharp Words
The Knife Cuts Of Malicious Gossip
The Tar Balls Of Lies And Snide Innuendo
Known Thrown Up Against
Those Committed Completely To The Lord Christ
Thrown At The Heads Of Those
Who Despise The Demonic Device
The Presumptuous Sin
The Heaven-Daring Deviltry
And
The Dogmatic Denials Of
Those Who Refuse To Honor The God Of Creation
The Very God Holy
Who Gives Unto Us Daily Living
Who Promises For Our Faithful, Obedient, Endurance
His Very Own Eternal Life!

Overcomers 
Will Have Substantial Reasons For Thanksgiving!

That's The Big Stuff
But
It's The Little Things Cultivated
That Grow
That Mature
That We Shall Here Address ...

Well, Well, Well!

Look At Who Just Walked Through The Door!

Mr. Committed Christian

Who Regularly Sells Out To Sin

For An Extra Five Cents

Thinking ... Believing

That The Living God

Will Not Desire Recompense!

Good Morning, Mr. Ethical!

Good Morning, Lil' Berry!
Have You Got Anything For Me Today!?!
I've Got Me A Cake That 
Needs Topping Off With A Plump Cherry!

Friends,
This Here Mr. Ethical
Has No Problem Speaking Through A Fork!
That's How His Tongue Got Split!

He Speaks Christian In The Light
Lives As A Sinner In The Dark
Loves The Lord On The Surface
And
Sleeps With The Devil
In Thoughts, Words And Deeds!
It's Always About His Needs!

He Is A Shark In The Dolphin Clan!

Please Permit Me 
To Personally Cut To The Chase:

This Person So Upright, Uptight
Is 
A Known Fence Jockey!
His Measure When It Comes To The Master's Ways
Changes
If It Is Possible A that He Will Reap A Little Berry!

If Profit Is Promised
Light Can Turn To Dark!
If Profit Is Possible
Bitter Can Become Sweet!
If Profit Is Sharing Its Aroma
Truth Can Be Cast Down Into The Street
And
Mr. Situationally Ethical ... The Christian
Who Is A Mere Professor
And
No Where Near A Possessor Of 
The Traits Of Character Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Has Conveniently Forgotten That 
The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect
Having No Chinks
No Cracks
No Rust
Rejecting All Shadow Of Turning
And
For Certain Sure
Has No Possibility Of Ever
With The Deceitful One
Consorting!

Chew On This ...

Committed Christians
Don't Follow The World!
They Don't Kiss The Devil's Ring!
They Don't Bow Before The Idols
And
For Certain Sure
They Done Sell Out The Savior
For The Convenience Of Carrying A Bulging Purse
That Only Holds Earth-Bound Gold!

The Christian In Name Only
Is 
Saved On ... By ... Church Donation Paper Only
Walks On The Earthly Stage Only
And
Will Receive For His Earned Reward
That Which Was Designed 
For The Devil And His Angels Only!

Brethren, Beloved

Don't Settle For Carrying Gold In A Purse!
Lift Up Your Gaze
And
Choose To "Settle" ForWalking On Streets Of Gold:
Now, That's The "Ticket"
In The Perfect World
Prepared For The Enduring Faithful
Who Do Not Sell Out To Sin
To Get The "Gains" Out Of A Curse!

Please Stop Betraying The Lord Christ!
What The Lord Has For His Known-Children
Is
Infinitely Far Beyond 
What Anyone On Earth Would Call "Niiiceee!"
Don't Fall For The Demonic Device!

Man's Purchased Salvation: The Ploy To Destroy Access

For Safety
For Salvation
For Service
For Soul Satisfaction
For Security
We May Present Our Selves
Before Our Savior
So Do Not Trust The Word Of 

The Sadistic Serpent, Satan
Who Loves To Know That He Is Thought Of
As Some Silly Cartoon Ineffective Devil Elf!

In That Wily Guise
Satan. Has. Power.
To Annoy

To Deceive
To Destroy
To Make Purchased Souls His Doggy Chew-Toy
And
Make Jesus Christ's Free To Man
Soul Salvation
Appear As Something Less Than Real Joy!

Modus Operandi ...

By

P erverting The Gospel
L ying On Holy Truth
O Obfuscating Pertinent Details And
Y anking The Wind Out Of Man's Heading To Zion-Ship's Sails
He Stalls Man's Forward Momentum

In The Hope Of Denying The Opportunity

To Be Made Whole, Be Renewed

And

With Obedient Endurance Until Life's End

To Enjoy The Life That Blesses With Eternal Youth! 

Brethren, 

Don't Study The Devil's Tactics
To Know How To Defeat Him!

Study The Ways Of Perfection
And
You Will Always Have Your Kit On Hand
For Known Devil Detection!

Think Christ Is Life Is Christ To Defeat Death!
       Think Christ Is Peace Is Christ To Defeat War!
              Think Christ Is Truth Is Christ To Defeat Lies!
                     Think Christ Is Light Is Christ To Defeat Darkness!

Hope Dispels Doubt!
Faith Illuminates Grace!
Mercy Displays Freedom!
Truth Strobes Salvation!

Salvation Holds Forgiveness For Sin
Which ... Without Confession And Repentance
Moment By Moment Goes Like A Slum Dog With Mange
Crying, Crying, A-Begging!

Do Not To Despair Cave!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!
Don't See To Believe!
Believe And See
That Our Savior Defeated
Death, Hell, And The Grave
Sin, Self And Satan
To Show Us How Not To Be Slaves
But
To Be Overcomers
Blessed
Beloved Of The King
Desired In The Kingdom Of Grace
Which Shall Be By The Kingdom Of Glory
Very Soon Replaced!

Don't Give Up Your Place!

Do Not Let The Image Of God In You
Be Effaced
By The Father Of Lies
The Murderer Called First
The Cause Of The Curse
The Initiator Of War
The Purveyor Of Hate
The Writer Of Songs Where Truth Is Misplaced
And
Self Is Glorified
Sin Is Sanctified
Satan Is The Savior
And
The True Savior Of Man Is Denigrated
Defied
Denied
And
Suicide ... Self-Murder The Salve
Is
Lavishly Applied As The Healing Balm
To Make All Things Desired "Just So!"
To Make The Life Without Christ
Appealingly Show And Glow
And
The Practicing Of Sin For Satisfaction
To Grow, Grow, Grow!

The Lord Christ Is From Above: He Lifts!
Satan Is The Undertaker: He Grifts
And
All Who Do Not Know This Difference
Will Be As Stiffs
In The Mortuary Of Time
Waiting Unwisely
For The Chime
Declaring That Time
Is
No More
Closing Mercy's Door
And
Disclosing The Wrath Of Justice
Served Cold
To Burn Hot
With Fire Unquenchable
Because
No Hand Shall Put It Out!

All Within The Flames
Shall Be Consumed
Becoming Dust Under The Feet Of
The Saints Of God And Christ
Who Trusted, Believed
Honored, Worshipped
Obeyed 

And

Endured All
To See The Face Of Him
Who Is Every Willing, Believer's Perfect Joy
And

Perfect Peace!

They Did Not Fall For The Ploy Of
The Salvation Thief In Chief!

Need Relief!?!

The Great Physician
Is
Jesus Christ The Righteousness
Who Always, Always, Blesses
Who Always, Always, Saves!

Truth Is Pertinent:
I Cannot Count The Ways!

Sin + PRAYER: Lord, I Need A New Life!

Ponzi Scheme!
Pyramid Scam!
Sin Is A Rolling Snowball ... Unhindered
That Will Land All Caught Up In It In Hell!

Do Not In Sin Dwell!

You'd Better Recognize ...

You Have Met Him!
You're Very Likely Him!

Faulty Character, Esq.
"Man" About Town
Pushy, Arrogant
Brash, Bold
Willing Sinner On Good Times Sold
Alienated
From The Household Of The Blessed
Because
He Can't Be Bothered
Known Soul-Damning Sin
To Repent And Confess!

Pride Is Stuck In His Craw!
Self-Serving 

Is 

A Bone Caught In His Jaw

And
Envy, Lust, Greed, Gainsaying
Doubt, Disbelief
Worldly Entanglements
Are Attached To Him Like 

Baby Lambs Attached To Dear Mama's Engorged Teats!

Self-Aggrandizement 

Self-Satisfaction

Self-Exaltation

Is 

The Goal!

It Wasn't Always That Way!

Once Upon A Time ... Today

Self Was An Occasional Holiday Rental
That Turned Into A Time-Share
That Decided That The Little
The Incremental Bit Was Insufficient:

Self Wanted All-Day Own-Way Always!

Heads-Up, Mate ...

There Was ... Actually Is

One Little Oversight:

Smart Pay
Sure Pay
Pay To Play
Is 

The Only Way

And
It Gets In The Way Of Being 

Perpetually Happy And Gay!

Today For Me!
Tomorrow For You!
Indulging Self Is A Sin Cultivating Sorrow
That Decimates Everyone
And
That Includes Me And You, Too!

Unchecked Sin!
Unchecked Sorrow!
Sinful Self Unchecked
Results In Unchecked Horrors!

What Do You Know ...

Doubt Started Doing The Dog!
Gainsaying Started Pontificating!
Pride Started Leaking Pus
And
Leviathan Started Parading His Pride Bus!

Regrets!

We All Have A Few ...

What Shall I Do!
To Whom Shall I Turn!?!
I Can't Afford This Bill! 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

I Wish This Selfish House

Of Wax-Works Would Burn!

I Need A New Life! 

This One Does Not Profit!

The One Who Encouraged My Investment

In His House

Is The Very One

Who, Over Me, Is Now Lording It

Because I Finally See The Guiding Light ... Of Life

And

I Feel My Need Of Mankind's, My, Savior! 

I Desire The Fresh Start 

The New Man

The Heart Of Flesh

And I Desire, Finally

To Get Home To The Promised Land!

Lord,

Help Me!

Save Me!

You Are My Only Hope

And

In Faith ... At Last

Nothing Wavering

It Is You To And For Your Sure Salvation

That I Willingly From Known-Sin Turn!

Heartfelt Prayer Changes Things ...

If You Have Not Yet Been So Informed
Please Be Advised That In Almighty God's Heaven
All Heartfelt Prayers Are Heard
And
Always Answered!

Answers Are 

Yes!

No! 

Wait!
Or 

Welcome To The Pain! Aka 

My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee!

All Answers Stand Upon The Pillar:

What Is For Your Good 

Is For Almighty God's Glory! 

There Are No Exceptions! 

Quit Your Blubbering ...

Emotionalism Does Not Impact The Lord: 

Faith, Obedience And Endurance Do!

You Have The Say ...

Your Will Is Not Taken From You! 

All To Jesus ...

Since You Are A Committed-To-Christ Follower

Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord
Will Cause You Before Him

- Who Is Your Shepherd -
Willingly To Lay Your Will Down
And
That Is When The Sin-Life Will Change
And
Against Your Life And Living
Satan Will Become Deranged!

Depend On It!

Sin 

Is 

Like Having Salt-Water Taffy, Strongman Toffee
Bubble Yum, Fruit Gushers, Jawbreakers 

And

A Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper
Rolled Into One "Treat"

Which ... After A "Nice" Taste
- Unless You're A Glutton For Punishment -
You Will Not Put On Taste: Repeat!

Wha' Sweeten Goat Mout' ...!

Brethren Be Wise!

Express ...

Repentance To Almighty God
And
Faith In Christ Jesus
And
Trust The Grace Provided
And
Enjoy The Promised Rewards

- In The Fullness Of Time -

That Are Most Assuredly

Not Satan's Ghoulish, Grandiose, Frauds!

Sin Costs!

Sin Cannot Pay

Not For A Second

A Minute

An Hour

A Day

Nor A Year

No Matter What Lying Satan Says!

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

Only Trust The Living Word

Of 

The Holy God!
