VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lawful Children + PRAYER: Please Grant Discernment And Wisdom, Dear Lord!

 

Adversity
Aka Troubles, Poverty, Enemies And Sorrows
Is 
A Guaranteed Entity In The Life Of Man 
But
We Who Are Loved, Corrected
And 
Taught By The Lord 
Are Blessed, Sheltered And Protected Through It! 

The Chastisement ... The Rod Of Correction
The Guidance Of The Lord 
Is 
For His Children 
Because 
Whom He Loves He Corrects 
And 
Teaches The Right Way To Walk! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Resist The Lord: Rest In The Lord! 
Correction May Not Be Pleasant 
At The Time Administered 
But 
The End Result For A Child Of God Motivated Thereby 
Is 
Rest And Peace! 

Please Humble Yourself 
And 
Be Obedient Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
Who Will Lift You In The Day Appointed!
The End Of The Willful Disobedient
- The Enemies Of God -
Who Walk Presumptuously Wild And Wayward
Is 
Damnation! 

Give Unfeigned Praise 
And 
Utter Thankful Prayers That 
Our Father Recognizes Our New Birth 
And 
Calls Us His Lawful Children, Blessed Forever! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Pray For Discernment

To Understand What I See Happening

And

What I Hear Around Me

And

I Pray For Wisdom, Dear Lord

To Do What Will Please You And Bless Me! 

Help Me, My Father

Not To Follow The Multitude

Not To Walk In The Ways Of The Unwise

The Ways Of Those Who Follow

And

Proselytize

The Known-Demonic Device! 

You Have Given Unto Me

Free Will And Free Choice 

And

The Power Of A Voice

And

You Have Given Me Your Living Word

To Guide Me Toward Your Presence

Where I May In Joy Rejoice! 

Please Help Me

Please Guide Me

Please Protect Me 

And

As And When Necessary

Upbraid Me And Chastise Me

For I Am Not A Friend Of The World

But Your Very Own Child

A Servant

A Student

A Willing Worker For My King

And

Desire Above All Else

To Dwell With You

In The Land Where Night Does Not

The Light Ever Darken! 

Father, 

Please Grant Unto The Gift Of 

Willing Obedience 

To See It Not As A Sacrifice

Or A Self-Denial

But As A Privilege

Given To Your Obedient Children

And

Which Leads Always To Our Blessing

From Your Holy Hand! 

Teach Me Your Way, Oh Lord

Keep Me Faithful

And

Lead Me In The Way Everlasting!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Thank You For Hearing

And

For Answering Humble Prayers

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Pray And Plead!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Our Father Cares!

But For The Grace Of God

We ... You Or I
Could Be A Murderer, Idolater

False-Oath Taker

Deceased

From The Congregation Of The Blessed

Permanently Released!

Let's Not Be Presumptuous

Walking With Company Vain!

Let's Remember ... And Be Grateful That 

Jesus Christ Suffered The Indignity Of Our Pain 
And 
Shame

And

Let's Choose To Walk As Those Righteous
And

Live Like The One Holy

And

His Love And Dear Name 
Widely, Wondrously, Proclaim!

Warning ...

Look Before You Leap!

Think Before You Speak!

Pray For Grace: Don't Suffer Lack!

Embrace Mercy: Don't Fall Under The Demonic Attack!

Dig For Hid Treasure ...

Pray The Promises

Because 
In Them Is Relief
And

Believe All Of The Living Word

And

Know, Of A Surety, The Lord's Perfect Peace!

Where E'er Are You Walking ...

The Road To Hell 
Starts With One Unthinking 
Self-Absorbed Easy Step

No Effort Required!

Just Follow Inclination

And

Aggressively Stoke Damnation's Fire

And

Become Inured To Correction

And

Make The One-Way Lake Your Final-Destination Pyre!

The Road To Glory 
Starts With A Single Bold Step

The Outcome Of The Required Question Asked And Answered

Followed By The Constancy Of Commitment To Lord Christ

From Whose Mouth Comes

Living Truth No Lies!

Jesus Christ Prays 
And 
He Cries For Us

He Feeds And Intercedes

He Blesses And Confesses The Names

Of Us Who Choose His Way ... His Life

Refusing To Live The Self-Inclined Life

Which Only Leads To Damnation

And

Never, Ever, To Eternal Life!

Brethren, Beloved

I Tell You Quite Plain That

There Is No Profit In Sin

So Don't Play The Game

Because

Shame Is The End Result

Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth

The Torment Of Eternal Separation From 
The Great And Glorious God In Highest Heaven Above!

Do Not Give Satan Your Tongue

Your Taste-Buds

Your Teeth

Please Cry Unto The Lord Who Saves

The Lord Who Gained The Victory

Over Self, Over Sin

Over Death, Hell And The Grave

Over That Same Satan ... The Raging Lion

Who Avidly Seeks To Stay Your Feet

From Ever Ascending The Great Mount Zion!

Beware!

Be Aware!

Do Not Be A New Ager And Your Mind Clear!

Do Not Give Your Will To Another

Save To Him Who Can Kill You

Body And Soul In Hell

Save To Him Who Is Creator, Savior 

Redeemer ... Known Friend

Save To Him Who Loves You Sacrificially

Save To The One Who Is Almighty God

The One Who Asks You 
To Walk Before Him In The Fear That Is Godly!
Do Not Play Footsy With The Lying Wannabe God!

Live By The Word That Saves

So That You Do Not  Walk In The Willful Way That Enslaves!

In The Good Book ... For Wisdom

See To It That You Make The Needful Stop
Because

When You Do Not Have It

An Achor For Your Soul

Any Pillar, Any Post, Is A Good Prop!

The Stated Fact That 

Our God, Almighty, Holy

Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent

Can Be And Is Pleased By Something That 

We Earth-Bound, Quarantined-Because-Of-Sin Humans Can Do 

Should Clearly Tell Us That Our God Feels

Has A Heart

And Is

In The Holy Sense, Emotional!

He Cares! 

Our God ... Our Father

Is 

Empathetic Aka Touched 

By All The Feelings That Touch Us

And 

We Should Glad To Know This

And 

Grateful That This Is So! 

We Are Encouraged By This Great God 

To Boldly, Confidently

Bring Our Every Burden To His Throne Of Grace 

Where He Has Promised To Provide Help 

In Our Time Of Need! 

Our God 

Is 

Real, Living, Loving, Giving, Forgiving 

And Is Also 

The Blessing, Kind, Good And Gracious God

Ready, Willing And Able 

To Do All That He Says He Will For Us 

As Is Recorded In Our Bible

The Living Book Of Truth! 

Believe The Word, Beloved

And 

Trust The Heart Of Jesus Christ

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love

The Hope Of Every Man

Who Is Personally Calling You To Come Home 

To Live In Love With Him Forevermore! 

Dare To Exercise Your Faith 

And 

Trust In Him Today 

So That He Is Pleased To Call You 

His Well-Beloved Very Own Child! 

CHRISTIAN: Ruminant

A Working, Watching, Waiting, Wise

Enduringly Faithful Christian
Is
A Ruminant!

I Don't Want To Be A Cow! 

You're Not Going To Be A Literal Cow! 

It's A Figure Of Speech

To Give You A Profound Idea

To Show An Ideal Attitude! 

Take A Thought On This:

The Brown Cow

Eats Green Grass

And

Gives White Milk

Which Makes Yellow Cheese!

We Are Talking Major, Unimaginable
Mind-Boggling, Fait Accompli, Changes!

Oh! Okay!
In That Case, You May ... With Agility
Proceed To Tell Me That About Which I Must Ruminate!

Whoa!
Such Formal Language!

Sweet Girl, 
If You Have Ever Seen A Cow
A Spiffy, Fat, Cow Ruminating
You Would Understand That 
Rumination Is Serious Business 
And As Such
Warrants The White Glove, Formal Language, Treatment!

I Hear You!

Okay, Guys!
Enough With The Almost Jokes!

In Keeping With Our Foray Into Cow Chewing
Think About This:

One Mouth Full Of Grass
And
Four Stomachs
Is 
The Equivalent Of The Best Food Processor
Blender, Mixer, Juicer Combined Plus Some
To Extract Every Last Iota Of Goodness
From That Grass To Do A Body Good
And
Make One The Very Best Producer
In The Service Of The Householder ... The Shepherd
The Lord King!

Madame The Cow Is No Slouch
Is Never A Procrastinator
And
Is Decidedly Not A Sluggard
And
She Will Not Be Deterred From Her Assigned Task!
What She Starts She Finishes
And
What She Produces Says Plainly That
She Accomplished The Mission To Which
Her Master-Maker Did Surely Assign Unto Her!

I Wonder How Many Of Us Higher Beings
- Us Christians -
Really Take To Heart The Word Of The Lord
That We Are To Search The Scriptures ... Diligently
As For Hidden Treasure
To Seek God And To Find Him
To Hide The Word Of The Lord In Our Hearts
So That We May Not Sin Against Him
Who Can Destroy Us Body And Soul In Hell!?!

You Know, Sometimes I Really Can't Deal With You!
Everybody Else Coats The Hard Subjects In Sweet Oil
So That It Can Slide Down A Person's Throat
Without Causing You To Gag Or Be Tortured
And You  ... You ... You Just Ram Things
Down People's Throats Without A By-Your-Leave!
Couldn't You Just Ease Up A Teeny Tiny Bit
And Help Us To Chew A Bit Before We Swallow!?!

No!

Oh, Come On!
You Don't Have To Be Hard-Case!

Yes, I Do!
We Are Sinners!
If We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
We Are Sinners-Saved By Grace!
If We Love The Lord Christ, We Keep His Commandments!
If We Follow His Example Of Obedience
His Commission To Go Into The World
His Words Of Exhortation
And
Operate By The Faith Given Unto The Saints
We Will Accept The Indictment
Repent Of The Sin
Do The First Works, The Second, The Third
As In Whatever Is Required
And
We Will Swaddle Ourselves In The Living, Saving, Word
Until It Comes Out Of Our Ears ... If Possible!

Oh, Mavis!
I Really Wish You Would Learn When To Shut-Up
And Not Make Sister Belnavis Upset!
We Are In For It Now And Here. It ... Comes!

Brethren,

It Is Time To Stop Pussy-Footing Around The Scriptures!
Look Around You!
The Prophecies Are Being Fulfilled!
People Are Dying Stupidly Because Of Lies!
People Are Dying Really Stupidly Because Of
Candy-Coated Scriptures
Sugary-Treat Gospel
Taffy Truth
And
Bubble-Gum Beliefs!
This Ain't The Time For Flowery-Tasting
Cotton Candy Apologetics
With God Is Love As Lubrication!

We Need To Get In Bed With Jesus ... The Word!
We Need To Get Out Of Bed With Jesus ... The Word!
We Need To Eat Jesus ... The Word!
We Need ... The Word 
Morning, Evening, Noon And Night!

Look, Children!
Don't You See What Is Happening!?!
The Wicked, The Heathen, The Daring Doubters
What They Believe In ... They Believe In
And 
They Are Willing To Die For It
To Make You, Me, Us, Die For It!

They Want Us To Live Their Lie
But
We Can't Because We Have His Truth!
His Truth Is Our Weapon!
His Truth Is Our Shield!
His Truth Is Our Only Defense
And
If You Don't Know How To Use, Utilize Your Weapon
You're Going To Die On The Battlefield!

If You Are Still Doubtful Of What I Say
Think About This:

The Lord Sees!

The Lord Knows!

The Lord Is ...!

The Lord Feeds!

The Lord Leads

And

Whoever He Feeds And Leads

By Willing, Cooperative, Consent

Is

Forever Blessed 

And 

Saved 

And

Redeemed At The Sound Of The Last Trumpet

So Chew And Greedily Swallow The Good-Word Food 

And

Live In His Love Forever And Ever!

AMEN!!!

PRESENT TRUTH: The Commandments Of Almighty God

The Commandments ... The Word Of God
The Always Present Present-Truth 
For This Age In Which We Live
Are A Firm Foundation For Our Feet
An Unbreachable Roof Over Our Heads
And 
A Hedge Of Protection Around Us 
From Our Known-Rabid Enemy! 

Our Jesus Christ ... The Living Of God
Is 
Not A Mercenary For Hire In A Foreign Legion
- Off To Make His Fortune 
Off The Blood And Guts Of Our Enemies - 
Who Tried And Failed To Overcome! 

Our Jesus ... Our Champion
Is 
God Almighty, King Forever
Conqueror ... Battle-Scarred: Victorious! 
He Has Given To Us His Unfailing Word To Read 
And 
Believe
To Trust ... And Daily Use As Our Defence! 

"Thus Saith The Lord...!" 
Is 
The Word For Our Own Blessing 
And
The Curse 
To Heap Upon The Damned-For-Eternity Head Of Satan
Our Published Enemy! 

Beloved, 

Cheer Your Heart With A Song Of Zion
And 
Bless Your Life By Knowing 
The Eternal Word Of Truth That Always Saves! 

Hide The Word ... Hide Jesus, In Your Heart 
And 
Live Safely As A Saint Of God 
In His Perfect Love Which Casts Out Fear! 
Be Faithful ... And Be At Peace!

Satan Is The Liar

The Father Of Truth-Reversed!

His Words Are Filled

With The Poison Called Known-Sin

And

All Who Follow Him

End Up Being Blighted And Cursed!

IMPULSIVE LIVING: Explicit Faith

Just As Impulsive Buying 
Can Get You Into Debt Higher And Higher

So Can Impulsive Living 
Land You In Damnation's Lake

Burning With Brimstone And Fire!

Every Human 
Every Christian ... Of Faith Great Or Small

Started His Journey With The Sin Nature

Compliments Of 
Adam And Eve's Fall From Grace Sufficient

To Of Needing Mercy Free

And That, Beloved

Means Me And Thee!

We Must Not Be By Impulse Driven

For We Have A Sure Word

By The Lord Of Live Given

And

All We Need To Do 
Is 
To Believe And Obey

And 
Walk In The Light Of Life

Trusting God Every Day

And

Always In All Ways!

That's Easy For You To Say! 

It Sure Is! 

King David Said It First! 

Listen To What He Says

And

Remember That The Lord Kept All Of His Word To David

In The Person ... In The Incarnation Of 
Our Very Own Jesus Christ!

The Word Of The Lord 
Is Not 
"Comfort For Fools!" 

The Word ... The Living Word
Is 
A Negotiable Instrument 
"Cash Money"
Good In Every Situation, Stage, And Phase Of Life 
For Us Who Choose To Believe That 
Jesus Christ Is Real 
And That 
He Loves Us Sacrificially, Personally
Intimately 
And 
Eternally! 

The Lord Cannot Lie ... Nor Does His Word
And 
I Encourage Us To Get To Know The Word That 
Speaks Life
Provides A Reason To Get Out Of Bed Each Day
Gives Hope For A Future With An Expected End In Glory
And 
Points The Way Home To The Father ... Our Father! 

We Are Christians 
And 
We Have The Right ... And The Privilege 
To Boldly Appear Before The Throne Of Grace 
With The Unfailing Word Of God 
To Present To Him To Gain Approval For Our Requests 
For His Comfort, Aid, Provision, And Protection
And 
Also As The Reason For Giving Him Worshipful Praise 
And 
Grateful Thanks! 

The Lord Must Honor His Word To Us That 
Causes Us To Believe, Trust, Hope 
And 
Wait On Him: 
Our Obedience To His Word ... By Doing His Will 
Guarantees Our Blessing! 

Beloved, 

This Is The One Time When 
"Throwing" A Person's Word Back In Their Face 
Is 
A Good Thing! 
Be Bold, Be Brave ... Believe
And 
Humbly Ask The Lord To Deliver For You! 

Stand On The Sure Promises Of God: 
He Is Faithful So Dare To Prove It! 

TRUST JESUS CHRIST: Follow The Way-Maker!

I Have A Ruler And A Compass!

I Have A Plate, A Fork, A Spoon And A Knife!

I Have A Map 
And 
I Have Been Befriended By The Map-Maker

Who Pledges To Lead And Direct Me Through Life!

I Have Peculiar Problems!

I Am Loved By And Love The Problem-Solver God!

I Have A Raging Enemy Cruel

And

I Have The Holy Defender As My Master And My Lord!

As Long As I Use My Ruler

Who Has Called Me To His Side

My Plate Will Always Have Food 

My Fork Will Dig Out The Worms Of Sin

My Spoon Will Scoop Up The Soup That Is Returned To Me

For Having Cast My Blessed Bread Upon The Waters 

And 
My Knife, My Sword

The Word

Will Separate Me From The Sin That Kills From Within!

My Map 
Is 
Upon Stone Engraved

By The One Who Who Could Not Be Held Captive By The Grave

The Very One Who Is The Map-Maker Supreme

The One Who Says To Me:

Be Thou Clean!

I Have A Charge To Keep

A Way To Walk

A Destination To Arrive At Safely

Because

I Willingly Chose The Right Fork

In The Glory Road

The Strait And Narrow Way

To Commendation Hall

And Not To

Condemnation Falls!

My Ruler 
Is 
My Wise Companion For My Walk Through This Mortal Life
And
My Master To Direct Me 
My Servant To Feed Me As I Serve Him
My King To Crown My Life As I Honor Him

The One Upon Whom I May Safely Call

For All

For Everything! 

I Learnt To Trust My Ruler

- The Mark-Maker ... The Way-Maker -
And

I Am Daily Trusting My Ruler 
In All Facets Of My Life

And

I Am Blessed! 

Think About It ...

Children Are Amazing! 

Watching A Young Child Trusting A Beloved, Caring, Parent 

Makes Your Heart Glad As You Watch Them Ask To Be Lifted Up

To Be Caused To Fly As You Play Airplane

To Be Tossed Higher And Higher

Seemingly Blissfully Unaware That One Wrong Move, One Slip

Could Cause Serious Injury ... Or Worse! 

All That Child Seems To Know Is That Mommy, Daddy

Is 

Flying The Airplane

That With Them In Control All Is Well

That Nothing Can Harm Them In Their Parent's Care

That The Love They See, Feel, Experience And Know 

Is 

Real, True, Present, Accounted For And 

That Nothing Can Steal Their Joy From Them! 

Beloved, 

We, As Christians, Need To Be Converted 

From The Ways Of The World That 
Peddle Doubt, Distrust, Disbelief

And 

Disobedience 

And 

Be As The Little Child 

When We Commit Our Ways, Our Lives, Our Time

To The Lord Jesus Christ 

Because 

We Know That The Sacrificial Love He Has For Us 

Is 

The Love That Will Never Let Us Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 

As A Result Of His Failure To Care, Share, Prepare And Provide! 

Close Your Eyes To Sinning 
And 
Open Your Heart And Hands For Your Blessing: 
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is

Our Ruler

Our King

Our Map-Maker

And

Our Way-Maker

Who Works Unceasingly

For Our Salvation:

Give Him Glory, Honor And Praise!

Sin ... And Forgiveness!

Think Deeply About This ...

He Who Had No Sin Became Sin ... For Us!

He Who Is Alive Forever

Died To Give Life To Us

Who Are Dead In Sin And Trespasses!

The Question Is:

How Do We Make The Connection 
To Make The Transaction Real!?! 

Jesus Christ Make The Infinite Deposit

In The Bank Of Eternity: 

We Are Mortal Men, Sinners, Who Live In Time! 

How Are We Going To Make The Needful Withdrawal

So That We May Have Our Necessary Food

And

Directions
Travelling Mercies

Transportation Expenses

Shelter
Protection! 

How Do We Get From Present Living For Hell

To Living To Arrive At The Future Heavenly Home

When There Is Gulf Fixed Betwixt The Two!?!

Lest We Tremble And Fear In Despair 

Let's Remember Jacob's Ladder

The Bridge Between Earth And Glory

The Cross-Bar On The Cross Of Christ

The Benediction Aka It Is Finished

Which Capped The Upper Room Prayer Of Consecration:

Where I Am

There Shall Also My Servants Be! 

Brethren,

We Have A Job Of Work To Do

So Let's Get To Stepping
Because
There Is No Sinner Going To Be Where Jesus Christ Is!
We've Got A House-Cleaning To Accomplish!

All Lawlessness Is Sin! 

All Humans Are Sinners! 

Some Sins Are Natural 
Because 
We Are Born With The Inclination To Sin! 
Some Sins Are Cultivated! 

Some Sins Are Marked As 
Going Where You Shouldn't Go Aka Transgressions

And 

Other Sins Are Called iniquity Aka Planned Sins! 

All Sins Are Forgiven 

... If We Confess ... 

Except For The Sin Of Blasphemy 
Against The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Second Death! 

Forgiveness Is Free!

The Only Person 
Who Doesn't Need Forgiveness For Known Sin 
Is 
Almighty God! 

The Sins That We Do Not Confess Cannot Be Forgiven 

And 

Stay On The Books Of Remembrance In Heaven! 

The Sins That We Humbly Confess 
And 

Repent Aka Turn Away From

Are Cast Into The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Never To Be Recalled!

Make The Days Of Your Life Count!

 

Beloved,

We Cannot Climb The Ladder

Cross The Bridge

Escape Time

Or Enter Eternity With The Stench Of 
The Load Of Sin Attached To Our Persons! 

No Escaping The Facts ... 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed Daily

So Let's Make It A Habit 
To Confess Are Repent Of Our Sins Daily 

Because 

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Of Us

Our Name Is Not Jesus Christ

And 

Our Tongues Are Not Bibles 
Aka The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Believe The Living Word

Accept And Gratefully Use Our Gift Of Forgiveness

And 

Be At Peace With And In Our Savior 
And 

Coming King

Jesus Christ The Lord!
Soon, Very Soon, The Last Trumpet Will Sound!

Dead Men

Can't Praise Almighty God

And

Can't Ask

For Forgiveness!
