VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Whom Should He Send!?!

Is Your Faith

** Anchored **

In The Lord Of Life!?!

Know The Facts ...

The Obedient Child Of God 

Who Faithfully Goes Where He Is Sent

Always Comes Back Seeing! 

They Receive Eye-Sight

Acquire Insight

Benefit By Foresight

And 

Are Profited By Hindsight! 

Such An One Will Never Be Lost 

Or Suffer Lost 

Or Be Made To Pay Personal Costs 

No Matter Much The Personal Expense

Because 

He Who Sends Us Has Already Paid The Bill In Full! 

Know The Lord ...

Short Hands

Deaf Ears 

And 

A Cold Heart 

Are Not Part Of The Lord's Priceless Portfolio 

Because 

He Is Loving, Kind, Just, Faithful And True 

And, So

Going Where He Sends Is Best 

And, Therefore

Beautifully Beneficial! 

The Lord Of Life Is Asking: 

"Whom Shall I Send!?! 

Who Will Go For Us!?!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Always Polite
To Honestly Answer The Direct Question Posed
So Let's Ask Ourselves Whether We Really Want To Be 
Blessed By Him Whose Blessings Add No Sorrow To Our Lives 

And

Being Truly Satisfied That Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer
Is Also
Our One True Friend Who Offers Eternal Benefits
Let Us Gladly, Boldly, Say To Our Lord, God 
And 
Soon-Returning King 

Who Can Never Fail Of Blessing Us:

"Here Am I, Dear Lord! 

I Am Available To You! 

Commission Me

And

Equip Me For Your Service! 

I Am Willing, Lord! 

Send Me!" 

Remember ... 

He Who Sends You Goes With You 

And

His Holy Angels Are Watching Over You! 

Go In Peace 

And Love 

And Serve 
The Lord Of Life With Humility! 

The Commendation
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 
Awaits You! 

Keep Your Spirits High

With Thoughts Of The Truth

That Is No Pie In The Sky:

Anywhere With Jesus

I Can Safely Go!!

HAPPY SABBATH + COMPLETELY FORGIVEN: Holy Gladness ... Holy Boldness!

The Works Of The Lord Are Infinite! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Are Infinite! 
The Love Of The Lord Is Infinite
And

We Are The Crowning Work Of The Creations Of The Lord

Infinitely Blessed 

And 

Infinitely Loved! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Lord! 

We Sinned Against His Holiness 

And

He Chose To Die To Save Us

Because 
He Is Love Divine
And
Has Infinite Love For Each And Every One Of Us! 

We Are Precious In His Holy Sight
And

We Have His Guaranteed Gift Of Forgiveness 
Available ... Just For The Asking! 

Beloved, 

Since We Are Forgiven By Asking

Shouldn't We ... Completely Forgiven

Be Living With Holy Gladness 
Impossible To Be Destroyed By Time, Terror
Situation Or Circumstance!?! 

Shouldn't We ... Forgiven

And

Cleansed

Approach The Lord's Throne Of Grace With Holy Boldness 
To Make Our Requests Known Unto Almighty God 
Who Gives Every Good 
And 
Perfect Gift!?! 

Our God Is For Us! 
He Died For Us! 
He Lives For Us! 
He Provides For Us
And 
He Is Preparing A Heavenly Place For Us
So Let's Live In Holy Awe 
And 
With Grateful Thanks 
For The Amazing And Good Working Of Our Lord Christ
- Through The Holy Spirit - 
In Our Lives! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Our God Is The Good God: 
Talk To Him 
And
Talk About Him! 

Let's Praise Him From Whom All Our Blessings Flow! 
Peace! 

The Love Of God

Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Is Not
Delivered On A Curve
According To How Few Sins
We Daily Commit!

Jesus Christ Loves Us Each

As If We Are
The Only Human Alive
That
He Sacrificially Desires
To Personally Save!

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

Remember Your Value!

You Are Valuable

Because

The King Of Love

The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Savior Of Every Man

The Redeemer Of Mankind

The God Of Grace

The God Of Glory

The Creator God
God Almighty ... Mighty To Save

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

All-Feeling

Says

You Are Valuable!
Live Like You Know And Believe It!

THE LORD OF LIFE: He Forgets Not His Own!

No Matter What We Need
No Matter What Sorrow We Bear
No Matter What Trial We Face
Let Us All Choose To Remember 
And 
To Boldly Declare 

"The Lord

... My Lord The King ...

In Zion Reigneth 

And

I Belong To This King 

Whose Ear Is Not Deaf That

He Cannot Hear My Pleas 

Nor His Hand Short That

He Cannot Help Me!" 

Beloved, 

Our King Glorious 

Is 

Seated On The Throne Of His Majesty 
And 

He Reigns 
And 
He Rules! 

Our King Is No Absentee Landlord
Nor Is He Hiding Behind A Surrogate!

He Is Not A King In Exile! 

He Is Not A False God With Useless Head, Hands And Feet! 

He Has No Need Of Rest And Refreshing 

And 

Praise His Holy Name

He Has No Need Of Lying Advisors

Ego-Massage Therapists

Corrupt Bankers 

And 

Greedy Fixers 

To Guide, Help And Coddle Him Day By Day! 

Our God Is The God Almighty
Mighty To Save

And 

He Is Able!
He Forgets Not His Own! 

Our God Loves Us 

And 

He Encourages Us 
To Acquaint Him With All That Concerns Us 

Not Because 
He Doesn't Already Know Our Situation 
But Because 

He Desires To Build In Us

Our Faith, Trust, Hope And Obedience Capacity 

... Building Our Love Relationship ... 
Joining Our Hearts To His Heart

Joining Us To Him Who, Himself,

Is 

Our Hope

Our Home

Our Own! 
To Know Our Lord The King
Is 
To Love Our Lord The King
The God Of Grace
The God Of Glory!

Let's Be Bold!
Let's Be Brave!
Let's Believe To Be Blessed
And
Let's Worship Our Lord God The King 
With Our Prayers 

And 

Our Praise

Today And Always! 

To Know Him 
Is
To Have Perfect Peace! 

Dare To Trust

In

Jesus Christ The Lord ... Of Life!

Thou, Lord, Seest Me! + PRAYER ... For The Sick!

Beloved, 

We Have The God Of Grace 
And 
The God Of Glory As Our Holy God 
Who Helps, Heals 
And Restores
And Lifts Up 
And Elevates 
All Who Are Willing To Love 
And 
Trust, Worship, Obey
And 
Totally Depend Upon Him For Saving Grace! 

The Only Way That We May Fail To Receive Help
From The Lord Of Life
Is
When We Permit Working Faith
To Dissolve Into Decimating Doubt
And
We Turn Away From Lively Truth
And
Distrust Him Who Created, Preserves 
And
Provides For
And
Protects Us
And
Saves Us
And 
Ultimately Redeems Us To Himself!

Brethren,

Please Never Forget That
We Have The God Who Feels Whatever We Feel
Who Needs No One To Carry Him!
Our God Loves Us Each Personally And Sacrificially
And
No Created Being
No Circumstance
Can Separate Us From His Abiding Love!

PRAYER:

Father,

Today, I Bring Vannie, Lynn

Carey, Emmanuel, Doris

And

My Own Son, Galen

Before Your Throne Of Grace

And

Plead In The Name Of Our Jesus

Your Beloved Only Son

For The Healing That You, Alone

Can Provide! 

You Are Holy And Faithful

And

You Bless And You Save!

Please, Lord

According To Your Will

And

In Your Loving Way

For Their Good

And

For Your Glory

Please Grant Healing! 

Please Let The Test Playing Out Now

Become

The Personal Testimony In Each Life

That Will Tell Others The Good News That

Jesus Christ

The King Of Love

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Hope Of Every Man

Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Father,

We Bow Before Your Holiness

Knowing That You Have Granted Us

A Blessed Privilege

And, Indeed

A Matchless Gift Of Your Heavenly Love! 

Thank You, Lord

For Coming Down To Our Level

To Raise Us Up To Yours!

Pity Us, Lord

And

Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit

On Us Who Believe

The Blood-Bought Promises

And

Bless Us To Ever Praise Jesus

And

Glorify Your Great Name!

Please Let The Holy Angels Attend Us

And

Please Grant Us Your Peace

For We Ask These Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

The Name That Is Above Every Name!

AMEN!

THE HOLY SPIRIT'S CALL: Are You Listening!?!

We Who Call Jesus Christ Savior, Lord And God 
Are Nothing Without The Holy Spirit Of Truth
The Good Gift 
The Comforter By Whom We Are Sealed 
Against The Day Of Accounts 
- The Judgment Of Things Done In The Flesh -
Him Through Whom We Receive Light, Wisdom 
And 
Understanding! 

The Holy Spirit 
Is 
Here To Bless, Teach, Feed
Correct, Guide 
And 
Keep Us True To The Lord Christ Who Loves Us Best! 

Think About It Seriously ...

Why Would We Want To Douse The Fire That 
Keeps Us Truly Alive!?! 

We Don't Need To Learn From Our Own Mistakes
When We Have The Benefit Of The Record Of
Other People's Experiences
So Let Us Dare To Learn From The Past!

Pharaoh Of Egypt
Despised The Holy Spirit By Gross Denial 
And 
Rabid Resistance 
And Hardened His Own Heart Thereby 
And 
Destroyed His Own Nation
And
Himself! 
He Thought He Was God
And
Found Out That He Wasn't!

King Saul Of Israel
Refused, Rejected
And
Willfully Put The Fire Of Life In His Own Heart 
By Willful Disobedience 
And 
Self-Righteousness 
And
Left To His Own Devices
Then Sought Light Through The Darkness
Aka The Evil Of Witchcraft 
And
Died By His Own Hand, A Lost Soul! 

The Disciple Of Jesus Christ ... Judas Iscariot 
Sold The Eternal God That Is Our Jesus 
To Buy Perishable Silver! 
He Rejected Light ... Godly Counsel
- The Urging Of The Holy Spirit - 
In The Godless Belief That 
He Could Force Almighty God's Hand
To Perfect According To His Own Greedy Desires! 

Juda Iscariot Left Jesus' Side 
And
It Was Night Physically
And
It Was Night In His Life 
And
For His False-Hearted Machinations
He Ultimately Went Out From The Society Of
His Co-Conspirators
And
Cowardly Killed Himself! 

Beloved, 

The Counsels Of The Past Are For Our Learning
So Let's Be Wise ... Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation
And
Let The Holy Spirit Be Our Faithful Guide!
Eternal Love Gifted The Holy Spirit To Us! 

Let's Be Enduringly Obedient
And
Wait Patiently Upon The Lord Of Life
Because
At Journey's End
At The Return Of The Great King
Surpassing Glory Awaits The Blessed Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Live In Holy Light
And
According To Living Truth
So That We Will Be Eternally Blessed! 
Peace!

THE PERSONAL INVITATION: Cast Your Every Care On Jesus Christ The Lord!

What A Delightsome Privilege It Is To Know Of 

And 

To Be Able To Approach The Throne Of Grace 

- Where Sits The Eternal God
The Consuming Fire - 

And 

Cast Our Burden ... Our Every Care

Upon The Lord Of Life 

Who Sacrificially Loves Each One Of Us Personally 

And 

Infinitely! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Acknowledge How Truly Blessed You Are 

To Have A Personal, Open, Private Invitation 

To Appear Before The King Who Is Also The Judge

- Without Ungodly Fear - 

To Tell Him All That Concerns You 
And
Without Risk Of Condemnation 
Because Your Life Fall Seriously Short Of 
His Holy Standard Of Perfection! 

The Lord Can't Lie ...

Please Do Not Permit Anyone To Convince You That 

You Must Be Clean Before You Can Go To Our King
Because

Our King Accepts All Who Desire To Be In His Presence 

No Matter Our Prevailing Condition! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood ... Spilt On Calvary 

Makes Our Lives

- Filthy With Repeated Sin - 

Clean And White As The Driven Snow! 

Remember ... 

In Christ Jesus 
Is 
Our Perfect Peace

And

The Only Haven 
Where True Rest For Our Weary, Wandering Souls Is Found! 

Please Don't Be Prideful: 

Cease Your Wondering Over Your Load Of Sin 

And 

Boldly Walk To The Throne 

And 

Find God's Grace To Help You In Your Time Of Need! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Calling To You: 

Cast Your Burden On Him 
And 
Be Blessed Forever! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Cooperate With Christ

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Enjoy Eternal Life!

Give Almighty God HIS Praise!

Our Lord Christ 

Is 

The Great Physician! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Is 

Our Only Savior

And

He Is The Holy God

Our Creator

Redeemer

And 

Forever Friend 

Who ... Alone ... Is Worthy Of Our Worship 

And

Constant, Superlative, Praise! 

Beloved, 

We Humans

And 

Even We Who Call Ourselves Committed Christians

Often Make The Real Mistake Of 
Heaping The Glorious Praise That 
Belongs Solely To The Eternal God

Upon Idols Aka Movie Stars

Musicians

Athletes

Politicians

The Giants Of Commerce And Industry,

And 

Even Priests And Pastors

Who All Obviously Have Feet Of Clay

And 

Stony Hearts 

And 

Ultimately Fall Short Of Our Expectations 

Because 

They Are Men, Fallible, Weak

And 

Desperately Need Jesus Christ 

Just As We Do! 

Wisdom Is A Gift Of Almighty God ...

Let's Ask Our God Faithful For His Wisdom
And
Let Us Be Wise 

And ... Going Forward

Heap All Our Heartfelt Praise Of Thankfulness

And

Gratitude

And 

Awe 
And
Worship

Upon Our All-Knowing God Eternal Who ... Alone

Saves, Seals, Heals 

And

Reveals That Which Blesses 

And 

Prospers Us 

As He Lovingly Leads Us Gently ... Safely 

To Our Eternal Home! 

Brethren,

We Have The Blessed Assurance

Daily Faith 

And 

Available Grace 

And

We Have Hope 

For We Have Seen Calvary! 

Take It To Heart ... 

Respect Is Due To A Common Dog 

But

Glorious Praise 

Solely Belongs To The True And Living Holy God

Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

Don't Cast Your Precious Pearls Before Swine

For They Will Turn Upon You

And

Work Your Soul's Destruction! 

Levy Your Praise Upon Him
Who Can Lead You Home To His Glory:

Praise God From Whom All Our Blessings 
Continually Flow Freely

Timely

And

Blessedly! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Provide For Us, Lord, According To Our Need!

Father, 

I See My Need And I Come To You In Faith

With All Doubts Set Aside

Because I Recognize And Accept That 

There Is Nothing That I Can Humanly Do 

That I Can Do Without Your Holy Hand

Your Gift Of Life, Love 

And

Dear Grace

That Unmerited Favor Which I Daily Receive 

According To Your Loving Kindness! 

I Am Grateful, Lord

For The Knowledge That Clearly Shows Me That 

I Do Not Walk Alone

Through The Changing Scenes Of Life 

And

The Personal Experiences That Prove That 

You Are True To Your Word Holy, Alive

And

That You Are Indeed Faithful

Worthy To Trusted, Honored

Worshipped

Consciously Followed

And

Enduringly Obeyed! 

You Are My Hope

My Only Help

My Sure Salvation

My Peace

My Rest! 

Father, You Are Home To Me

And

It Is With A Loving Heart

Burdened For Our Brethren

Near, Far, Seen, Unseen, Known, Unknown

In The Faith 

And

Coming To Faith That 

I Pray For Your Rich Blessings

To Fall Upon Each Of Us

According To Our Individual Needs

And

Equipping Us For The Journey To Zion

The Journey Home To You That We Are Making!

I Give You Grateful Praise

And

Heartfelt Thanks

For

The Strength For Our Journey

And

The Courage Dearly Needed

For The Way In Which We Must Walk

To Safely Reach Our Heavenly Home! 

Please Increase Our Faith 

And

Help Us To Humbly Draw Nearer To You

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Dear Name That

We Plead! 

Please Have Mercy Upon Us And Come Soon! 

AMEN. 

HAPPY SABBATH + Speech, Salt And Life!

Those In The Public Domain Having Converse With A Christian

Should Always Be Able To Declare

- Without Fear Of Contradiction -
That You Have Been With Christ Jesus 

Because

The Manner

The Tone

And 

The Words That Are Uttered 

Out You As A Child Of The Great King! 

Speech, Salt, And Life 

Are All Gifts From The Eternal God 

And 

All Three May Be Used For Good Or Evil

Blessing Or Cursing! 
Our Personal Choice
And
Our Free Will Exercised
Make Our Inclinations ... The State Of Our Heart ... Plain!

Note To File Of Remembrance ... 

We Who Name The Name That Is Above All Names 

Should Know How To Use The Gifts Of God For Good 

And 

For Blessing Our Obedient Self 

And 

Needy Others! 

Beloved, 

Too Much Salt Ruins A Dish 

And 
No Salt At All Makes It Hard To Swallow! 

Jesus Christ Says That We Are The Salt Of The Earth

So We Should Surely Know How To Season Our Speech! 

Consider This ... 

Inappropriate, Crude

Tasteless, Bitter, Accusatory

And

Condemnatory Words 

Cause Others To Despise, Avoid And Deny Us 

And

A Selfish, Self-Absorbed, Hate-Filled

Angry, Grasping, Greedy, Gainsaying

Complaining, Discontented Life 

Denies The Lord 

And 

Makes One A False God

And 

Totally Unprofitable! 

Please Let Us Be Wise Enough 

To Use The Gifts Of Almighty God Well Enough 

To Bless Ourselves 

And 

Others ... In Jesus' Holy Name 

So That We Will Hear The Glorious 
"Well Done!" 

In The Great Day! 

Remember ... 

Unfiltered Speech Belongs In The Garden Of Prayer

In Your Personal Talk And Time With Our Savior

The Blessed-Forever King Jesus! 

Peace!

Be A True

And

Faithful

Ambassador For Christ!
