VACUUM: Only Jesus Christ Fills The Spot!

How Often Have We Heard Or Said:

I'd Be Happy With ...! 

I'd Be Happy If ...! 

I'll Be Happy When ...! 

I'll Be Happy There Where ...! 

You Got "It!" 

Are You Happy Yet!?! 

I'm Personally Still Waiting!

Since You're Not Happy

And

Will Never Be

May I Offer You The Perfect Suggestion!?! 

Perfect!?! 

Who Are You Working For!?! God!?! 

As A Matter Of Fact

Despite Your Question Being Of
The Sarcastic Persuasion

I Do ... I Am Actually Working For Almighty God! 

I Am An Ambassador For Christ

And

I Am Here To Offer You

The One Answer That

Will Fix Whatever Is Ailing You! 

Man, If You Can Do That For Real

I'd Take That Medicine In A Heart-Beat

And I'd Love You Forever

And That's A Promise!

I Have Had Four Wives!

I Have Nine Children

Three Mortgages And A Failing Business

And My Present Family Is Falling Apart!

I Can't Sleep!

I Am Always Hungry!

My Heart Is Always Racing!

My Blood Pressure Is Through The Roof

I've Tried Every Religion In Town

And, Yet, I'm Not Satisfied 

And I Feel ... Really Feel

That I Am Missing Something 

Or Some One In My Life

That I Shouldn't Be Living Without! 

I Need Help Badly

And You Say That You Can Help Me! 

What's It Going To Cost

And How Soon Can I Get It!?! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Help!
The Cost Is Free!

It's Available Now!

You Can't See It

But

You Can Read About It This Very Minute! 

Okay, Okay!
Hit Me!

Open This Envelope

And Read What's Written There! 

It's Short And It's Powerful! 

Let Me Be The Judge Of That!

Maaan, This Says Psalm 84:2!

This Is From The Bible! 

I've Got Five Of Them Home

And They Serve No Purpose! 

Do You Open Any One Of Them

To Read!?! 

Well, No ... Why Are You Smiling!?! 

You'll Find Our Very Soon! 

Please Read The Text Aloud! 

Naaah! Impossible! 

How Could This Note ... From A Known Dead Letter 
Tell What I'm Feeling!?! 

Thank You For Reading! 

It Can And It Did

Because

Being The Truth
- The Living Word Of The Eternal God -

It Cannot Die! 

Now, Please Listen To Me Very Carefully:

There Is That Part Of Every Human Being 
Which Calls Out For

- That Needs To Be Near -

Its Maker, God, And King

In Whose Image 
And 
Likeness 
We Are Made! 

No Drug, Relationship, Work

Or Orgiastic Excess 
Will Supply Our Need For King Jesus 

So We Should Not Waste Precious Time Seeking For 

And 

Indulging In 

What Will Not Satisfy, Heal, Relieve
Save, Seal, Help 

Or Cause Us To Have Peace, Rest 

Or ... True Happiness! 

Jesus Christ Is Calling 

And 

That Which Causes Us To Live 

Is

Responding! 

The Breath Of Life Comes From God 
And 

Goes Back To Him When We Die! 
Shouldn't We Go To God Now

While We Live And Breathe

To Find Rest For Our Souls 

While It Is Today!?! 

Glory Awaits The Believing! 

Now Before I Part From You

Please Open My Bible And Read 
The Last Two Verses Of The Marked Psalm 84!

Very Well!

Grace! 
I Know About Grace!
I Need Grace!

We All Do, Friend!

Blessings!?! 

Blessings! 

Light And Protection!?! 

Light And Protection! 

No Good Thing Withheld!?! 

Nary A One! 

In That Case, You Don't Have To ... To
To Hit Me Over My Head With A Cudgel, Brother! 

I Need Jesus
And I Need To Open One Of Them Bibles 
And Get To Stepping With My Fingers As I Read! 

AMEN!!! 

I Pray That You'll Have A Blessed Evening!
Please Remember To Say Your Prayers
And
Rest Peacefully In These Words:

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Will Vacillate!?!

Will Vacillate Is A Proud Boy

And

Pleased To Be So, Thank You Very Much

And ... No Surprise

He Has A Boat-Load Of Friends!

Today ... A Beautiful Day

If I Do Say So Myself

He Has Set His Sights On

Percival Ignatius Barnes' Second To Last Boy Child
James Adolphus

Who, To All Intents And Purposes ... Apparently

Is 
Easy Pickings!

Will Vacillate Is A Born Liar

And

He Tries To Make People Believe That

He Is Able To Read Their Minds

And

By So Doing

Can Unerringly Tell Them Their Future

And

That Without Fail!

His Business Is Doing A Brisk Trade!

Oh, That Men Would Fear God

And

Pray Always!

Let Me Tell You Plainly That

Percival Ignatius Barnes Ain't Never Raise 
No Idiot Children

Nor Any Who Would Permit Themselves

To Be Run 'N Boarded Like One Of

Miss Rock Old Wooden Buses!

Percival Ignatius Barnes Raised All Of His Baker Dozen

By The Good Book

By The Tam'rind Road

On Humble, Heartfelt, Prayer

With Three Squares A Day

And

A Warm Spot On A Cot

And

A Sincere Appreciation For

"Hard Ears You Won't Hear

Then, Own-Way

You're Going To Feel ... Pain!"

He Ain't Never Had To Teach 
Not One Of His Ten Sons And Three Daughters

Any Lesson A Third Time

And

For This Alone

You Should Know That Not One Of Them Is A Show-Pony!

Will Vacillate Assumed

- Just Like Putrid Pride And Trendy Prevaricate -

That James Adolphus Was A Push-Over

Nice And Pliable
And 
As I Said Before
Easy Pickings!

Somebody Please Cue A Violin!

Will Vacillate ... On This Beautiful Day

Is 
Strung Out On Grand Delusions 

And

Has Taken Up The Prime Position

Between Christian Principle 
And 
Natural Inclination!

He Is Ardently Downplaying ... Even Denying
Wholesome Christian Principle

And

Decidedly Elevating, Stroking, Natural Inclination

Hopeful Of Getting A Rise Out Of Daddy Barnes Boy Child! 

He Was Successful

Maybe, Sorta Like ... Not! 

What He Does Not Know Is That 
Every Last Barnes Child

Is
A Praying Child

Who Is Not Reliant Upon Their Parents' Prayers 
For Protection! 

For His Effrontery 

Will Vacillate Ended Up With Ringing Ears

Clammy Hands
Heart Palpitations

And

Watery Eyes! 

He Later Actually Stated That 
He Thought He Would Die! 

James Adolphus Barnes

Has An Intimate Relationship

With His Personal Savior
The Lord Jesus Christ 
The Righteous One 

And

He Does Not Let Grass Grow Under His Feet!
He Is Saved By Almighty God's Great Grace
And
He Has A Real Working Faith
His Daily Gift From His Lord
Which He Refuses To Let Go To Waste! 

You Should Hear Him Preach! 

Beloved ... You Are Beloved

And So Am I! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Savior 

Only Master

Only Lord, God And King

And He Has Given Unto Us ... You And Me

Great And Precious Promises 

And He Invites Us

To Ask For What He Is Freely Offering 

To Seek Him While He Is Able To Be Found

And To Knock On His Door Of Mercy

His Door Of Grace

At His House Of Blessing

Where All On Offer Is Good, Good, Very Good! 

Now Hear Him Speaking To Will Vascillate:

Will Vascillate,

You Sincerely Need Christ Jesus

So That You May Be Changed

To Become Don't Vacillate! 

You Need To Stop Preying On People's Weaknesses

And You Sincerely Need 

To Start Praying For Them To Walk Right

And You Need To Start And Continue

Vehemently Denying Natural Inclination

This Low Rider Who Drags Out The Worst In Frail Mankind! 

How About Adding Something Beneficial

Something Healthful

Like Prayers, Praise, Worship 

Exercised Faith

And Denying Doubt And Sin

Self And Satan

And Encouraging Yourself And Others 

To Run With Endurance

To The Savior Of Every Man! 

Isn't It Time You Stop Destroying 

The Master's Inheritance 

And Start Sowing The Good Seed With Him! ?!

Repent, You Sinner! 

Repent! 

Confess Your Sin! 

Turn Away From Known Sin

And Quit Your Job With Your Base Employer

And Whole-Heartedly Turn

To Jesus Christ Who Always, Always, Saves! 

I Am James Adolphus Barnes! 

I Am A Committed Christ Follower

And I Have From Known Sin Turned Away

And I Am Daily Reminded ... By The Likes Of You

That I Know That I Know That I Need Christ Jesus! 

Hear Me Well!

What I Do Not Need, You Bounder

Is Another Way To Sin Against The Holy God

To Lie To My Self

To Make Excuses For The Lust Of My Lying Eye

The Lust Of My Carnal Flesh

And The Pride Of This Dying Life

And Another Way To Taint My Soul

And Allow Your Damned-Forever Boss

That Devourer ... Our Known Adversary

Against The Holy Jesus

To Triumphantly Gloat 

To Vilely Show-Boat! 

Satan Is The Liar And You Are One, Too! 

You Need Washing

Both By Water And In The Word!

You Need To Pray For The Outpouring 

And The Indwelling Of 

The Holy Spirit Who Is ... Even Now

Waiting To Bless And Change You! 

You Are Unstable And Unprofitable! 

Effective Immediately

I Am Putting A Pin In You

So That The World Will Know

That You Are Just Show

And To Urge All To Deny You Access

And To Not Permit You

Any More To Grow! 

You Are Nothing More Than A Prostitute! 

You Are Just Doubt Wrapped Up In Nice Clothes! 

It Is Safe To Say That
Will Vacillate Crosses The Road
Whenever, Wherever
He Sees James Adolphus Barnes Walking Around
Because
He Has Learned ... The Hard Way
That The King James Bible That
James Adolphus Barnes Holds In His Hand
Is Not 
A Prop!
James Adolphus Barnes Reads His Bible
And
He Believes
And
Lives According To The 

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

All Who Fear

Actually Hold Almighty God In Godly Fear ... In Awe

And 
Actually Also Realize And Gladly Accept That 

They Are Not Alone

Do Not Walk Alone

And 
That They Always Have Eyes Watching 

And 

Hands Recording 
Everything That They Say And Do! 

They Think Of Christ's Sacrifice For Them Personally! 

They Read The Living Word 

And 

They Pray Prayers Of Faith 

For Help To Live Right

Ever Trusting The Promises Of God For Salvation! 

Brethren,

We Don't Have To Fall Prey 
To Satan's Wiles: He's The Known Liar! 

Choose To Willfully Trust The Lord

To Humbly Fear Before His Majesty

To Embrace His Love
To Love Him In Return

To Wisely Obey His Laws 

And

To Live In Peace And Joy 

In His Loving Presence! 

Vacillation In A Christian
Is Nothing About Which To Be Proud!
Read Your Bible And Pray
And
Have Enduring Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord!
Peace Be Upon You!

Don't Halt Between Two Opinions!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Help Me Not To Be Deceitful, Father!

Dear Father,

Who Hears And Answers Prayer

Please Help Me Not To Squander

The Gifts You Have Given

Purchased At The Price Infinitely Dear!

I Worship You, Lord!

Help Me Not To Be Deceitful, Father

And Despise The Saving, Uncomfortable, Truth 

And Love The Known-Decimating Comfortable Lie

Which Cannot My Hungering Soul Edify!

Please Help Me To Trust You Explicitly

And To Honor, Love, Worship And Enduringly Obey

And To Not Be A Willful Wanderer

Going After That Which Is Not Bread

And Does Not Profit My Purchased Soul

And By So Doing

Earn For My Self The Devil's Sure Pay!

I Am A Pilgrim, A Stranger, In This Realm

This Vale Of Tears

Where Tests And Tempests Are The Order Of The Day

Unmitigated By Grace

For Those Who Willfully Chose Your Will Not To Obey!

Oh, Master, Keep Me Faithful!

I Trust You, My Father!

I Worship You, My God!

I Choose To Walk Softly In Your Sanctuary

Because I Do Not Want To Have Any Truck

With Satan That Wily And Eternally-Damned God-Fraud!

I See My Desperate Need For My Soul's Savior

The Lord Jesus Christ

He Who Gives To The Weary, The Burdened

Sweet Rest And Perfect Peace

So Please Help Me, Father, I Beseech You

To Reach For The Extended Hand

Which Will Help Me To Arrive Safely At My True Home!

Father,

I Ask Please To Help Me 

In The Ways That Only The Holy God Can!

Help Me To Bow So That I Do Not Burn!

Help Me To Be Humble

And Do Not Good Counsel Spurn

And Help Me To Look Up To The Cross Of Christ

So That Unto Fables, I Do Not Turn!

I See You, Lord

Through The Eyes Of Faith!

And I Touch You, Lord

With The Heart Of Lord

That Will Never Know Disgrace

Because You Who Calls Unto Me

Is Faithful, Just, Kind, Loving, And Ever True

And Will Never Turn Away A Child

Who Is Reaching Out In Hope

To Hold On To You!

I Am Blessed And I Know It

And Thank You For My Victories, Lord!

My Victories Over Self And Sin

Over Lust And Hate

Over Envy And Greed

And My Daily Victory Over Satan The Snake

That Deceiver

Who Would My Assured Crown Of Life 

With Vindictive Malice Violently Take!

I Cast My Will And My Choice At Your Feet, Lord!

I Am Rejoicing In Your Love, Lord

For I Have Hope!

I Have Faith!

I Have Mercy, Grace And Truth!

I Have Jesus Christ The Righteous As King

And I Am Looking Forward To Being With You

In The Realm Of Eternal Youth!

Please Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit Upon This Flesh

And Fix Me, Lord!

Make Me Clean And Whole

For Heaven At The Last Trumpet

Is My Sole Goal

And May The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength

Surround Me And Keep Me Safe In Your Dear Sight

And Influence Me To Do Good

Both Day And Night!

I Desire To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith!

I Thank You For Your Grace

Your Love, Your Truth, Your Light

And Your Promised Forgiveness

For I Confess And Repent Of My Known Sins!

Oh, How I Look Forward To Receiving

Christ's Eternal Life!

Please Lead Me Safely, Gently, Home

Even As You Grant Unto Me These Few Petitions

Which I Humbly Ask For 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

PRAYER: The Can't-Fail Weight-Loss Diet!

Before You Come Into The Presence

The Presence Of The Great And Holy God

Let Your Light Shine ... Share Your Faith

Break The Bread Of Life ... Read The Living Word

And

Burn The Incense ... Pray!

To Approach Unto The Throne Of The Eternal God 

Is 

A Privilege Which We Would Do Well To Exercise 

And 

In Abundance 

Because 

There Is Nothing That We Can 
That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Praying Raises Us Up To The Lord! 
Praying In Humility Shows Honor! 
Praying Without Ceasing Declares Our Dependency

And

Praying In Faith Shows Trust! 

Fact ... 

Believing In The God Who Answers Prayer
Is 

A Necessity! 

Action ... 

Putting Our Privilege With Our Necessity 

And 

Going To The Throne Of Grace ... Boldly 

For Whatever We Need

Against Temptation

To Say Thanks

Just To Talk

And 

Just Be With The Lord 

Marks Us As A People Wise ... Unto Salvation! 

We Are Invited To Pray
Soooo,
No Matter What Is Happening
No Matter Where You Are Going
No Matter What Is Bothering You
When Something Is Pleasing You
Grieving You
Causing You Sorrow, Pain, Shame, Remorse
Get At It
And
Pray
And
Pray And Pray ... And Pray Some More! 
Praying Is A Sure Weight Loss Diet!

Think About It ...

We Have A Personal Invitation From The Lord Of Life
And 

We Cannot Wear Out Our Welcome 
Because 

He Desires To Hear From Us Individually
Personally
Privately
Honestly
Directly

And 

Desires To Bless Us Immeasurably!

Beloved, 

Dare To Be Brave! 

Dare To Faithfully Believe

No Matter What You See, Hear Or Feel!

Be Enduringly Prayerful 

Trusting
And
Hopeful

Because

Your Offered Up Petitions
- Unselfish
Not Wasted On Harmful Lusts -

Are In Accordance With 
The Clearly Stated Will Of Almighty God!

Even If A Desire 
Is 
Not Immediately Received

You Shall Surely Be Ever Blessed!

The Lord Of Life Cannot ... Will Not
His Beloved People Deceive! 

All Faithful, Humble, Prayers Are Answered
Even If The Answer 
Is
Yes!
No!
Wait!
Or ... Gasp
Welcome To "The Pain!"

Consider The Caterpillar ...

Before A Creeping, Crawling, Fat, Caterpillar 
Becomes An Aerodynamic, Beautiful, Butterfly
He Is Sealed Into A Cocoon
Turns Into A Soup
And
Reemerges As On The Wing
To Soar To Lofty Heights
To See And Experience Things That Prior
Would Have Been Beyond His Ken
His Understanding
His Ability To Reach For
To Grasp
To Hold!

The Lord Said Let There Be ...

Caterpillars Have Faith In Their Maker
Accept The Call To Transformation
And
Trust The Process 
Because
They Know That Their Maker Can Perform
Keep, Save And Seal
And
Understand That What The Lord Promises To Do
For Them ... Personally
Will Be Revealed 
In The Fullness Of Their Lord's Time!
Caterpillars Do Not Doubt!

The Lord Said
Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image ...

The Lord Does Wonderful Things 
For Those Not Made In His Image
So Be Assured ... Be Comforted In The Fact That 
He Will Do Exponentially More Wonderful Things
For Us Who Are Made In His Own Image!

Decide To Have ... To Exercise Daily Faith
And
Pray ... Nothing Wavering 
And 
Know That Our Received Answer 
Will Always Be For Our Best Good
And
For His Great Glory!

Almighty God's Stated Character 
Is 
Made Up Of Mercy And Goodness 
And 
Grace! 
Meditate On These Things!
Blessings Abundant Await!
