VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SABBATH + Occupy Until Christ Comes!




The Lord Christ Has Told Us To Occupy Ourselves 
Until He Comes To Escort Us Home 
To His Father's House Of Everlasting Joy: 
The Damned Devil Finds Wicked Work 
For Idle Minds And Hands! 

Beloved, 
A Person, Man, Woman, Child, Rich, Poor
Free Or Slave
Healthy Or No
Who Believes He Has No Reason To Live
No Expected End Like Jesus Has Promised Us 
Who Choose To Believe The Holy Word Of Truth
Will Do Anything
To Anybody
For Whatever Reason
Just So That They May "Feel" Something 
If Even For A Moment! 

We Are Christians 
And
Through The Holy Faith Which Cannot Falter Or Fail
We Have Jesus Christ For The Anchor Of Our Souls
And
We Have That Faith Of Jesus New-Supplied Every Day 
As The Lubricant For Our Minds
As Oil For Our Hearts
And 
As Energy For Our Motoring Along 
The Highways And Byways Of Life! 

Are You Ill!?! 
Pray, Confess, Repent 
And 
Accept Forgiveness Of Sin 
And
Rest In Jesus! 

Are You Happy!?! 
Sing Songs Of Gladness! 

Are You Nervous, Needy!?! 
Reach For The Extended Hand Of Help, Hope 
And 
Healing! 

Do You Need A Friend!?! 
Be A Friend! 
Reach Out And Touch Someone With A Kind Word
A Thoughtful Deed
A Cheerful Smile! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

We Are Not Alone! 
You Are Not Your Own! 
Lean On Jesus The King Of Love: 
You Are Greatly Beloved!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer For When Hearts Are Burdened 2





 




PRAYER:

Father, Forgive Me!
I Have Gone From Pillar To Post
Seeking A Home For My Heart
Forgetting
Perhaps Not Even Realizing That
My Heart Is Your Home!

Open My Eyes, Lord, And Help Me To See 
Those Fair And Holy Glimpses Of Truth That
You Have Waiting For And Available To Me
In The Volume Of That Book That 
Tells Me Of You And Your Holy Love For Me ... Personally!

Oh, How Often, Dear Father
Has My Heart Been Troubled Within Me
At My Seeming Lack Of Growth
At The Wayward Paths Being Used
By The Children Of Faith
At The Unholy Alliances, Even Confederacies, Being Formed
Between The Children Of The Day
And
The Denizens Of The Night
And
I Cringe!

You Promised In The Living Word
That Not One Jot Or One Tittle
A Dot Or A Dash In The Word Would Fail
Until All Be Fulfilled!
I Know That You Cannot Lie
So I Put My Trust In You
To Accomplish All You Word
For You Have Promised That 
It Shall Not Return Unto You Void, Empty
But Shall Do All That You Ordain!

Father, 
Remember Me, In Mercy, I Beseech You!
As King Solomon Said:
I Am But A Child
Not Knowing How To Go Out
Or To Come In!
Please Grant Unto Me 
Your Wisdom And Understanding
To Use Your Knowledge Aright!

You Promised Not To Upbraid Me
For Asking For Wisdom:
I, In The Working Faith Gifted To Me
Choose To Accept Your Word
As Written And Preserved! 
I Trust You! 
I Am Trusting You! 
Please Help Me To Trust You
Always And In All Ways! 

Please Help Me To Hide Your Word Within My Heart!
Please Help Me To Know My End
The Length Of My Days
So That I Will Know How Frail I Am
And Will Not Sin Against Thee Again!

Father, 
I And My People
Have Broken All Ten Of Your Commandments
Wittingly
Unwisely
Boldly
Even Arrogantly
Uncaring That Actions Have Consequences
Unmindful Of The Reality That
Even When We Come To Our Senses
And Repent Of Our Known Sin
And You Forgive Us Our Sin
And Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness
That The Consequence 
The Fall Out Remains
The Unintended Consequence Stands
Reminding Us That There Is No Profit
In Bold Sin And Defiant Disobedience! 
Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves
So That You Will Lift Us Up
At The Time Appointed! 

Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 
Keep Me Safe By Your Dear Side! 
Open My Eyes, Lord
To See You And Emulate You
In The Beauty Of Holiness! 

Father, I Would See Jesus! 
I Will Behold His Face In Righteousness! 
I Will Be Satisfied When I Awake With His Likeness:
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
And
That He Is Interceding For Me! 
Please Help Me To Value Myself
At The Price That Was Paid To Grant Me
Your Free-To-All Salvation! 
Save Me, Lord! 
Keep Me Rooted And Grounded
Attached To The Rock That Fills The Whole Earth
In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Name 
I Humbly Pray, And In Need, Plead! 
I Love You, Lord
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!!!

Judge Yourself: Soul Search!






We Need To Stop Comparing Ourselves To Others 
And
Aggressively Start Looking At Ourselves
- Judging Ourselves - 
Our Behaviors ... Beliefs
By What Does Say The Word Of Our God! 

We Are Known By The Company We Keep! 
The Behavior, Attitudes, Ideas
And 
Ideals Of Our Companions 
Instruct 
And
Impact Our Own
Such That We Have The Word Of Almighty God Saying: 
"Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits!" 
Aka By What They Cause To See The Light Of Day! 

Beloved, 
Anything 
And
Everything That We Think, Say 
And
Do In The Darkness
Believing It Hidden From The Prying Eyes 
Which Would Say To Us 
"Nay! Guh Back! Run Away!" 
Are Open ... On Display
And
On Permanent Record 
In The Courts Of Heaven 
And
Available To Condemn 
And
Damn 
Any And All Of Us Who Maliciously Choose 
To Live Lying And Corrupt Lives 
To Corrupt, Physically Hurt 
And
Spiritually Harm Others! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Walk 
With Shame-Faced Humility 
And
Soberness Before Jesus Christ
Who Chose Death Before Dishonor For Us
So That We May Stand Sanctified
Purified
To Be Glorified In The Great Day Of Accounts! 

Do A Deep Dive Into The Truth That Saves
The Word That Will Judge Us All
From The Heart Of Him Who Is The Judge Of Us All
And
Ask Yourself The Hard Question:
With What Spirit Are You By Your Daily Actions 
Affecting Or Afflicting Others!?! 

Soul Search!

ADAPTED MINDS BECOME ADEPT: Jaw And Chew This Nugget For A Spell!







For All Amongst Us 
Who Dare And Say That 
They Can Think And Do Whatever They Want 
And
Be Left Unscathed By Sin
Please Jaw And Chew On This Nugget For A Spell: 
Your Mind Adapts To Whatever It Dwells Upon 
And
You Become An Adept At Performing It! 

Sin A Little A Lot
And 
You Shall Sin A Lot A Lot! 

Bottom Line ... 

You Are What You Eat
And
You Get Fleas From Where You Sleep! 

A Repentant Sinner 
Obedient And Enduringly Faithful
Is
A Saint Of God And Christ!

An Unrepentant Sinner
Is
A Sinner Bold ... Heart For Christ Cold
And
Ready Fodder For The Fire That
Shall Satan's Carcass Hold!

Beloved, 
Men, Women And Children Always Follow "Food!" 
The Food They Regularly Ingest 
Is 
The Food They Readily Crave
And 
We Who Call Ourselves Christians 
And 
Boldly Say And Declare 
With The Arrogance Of Self-Confidence Declare That 
We Love The Lord Christ 
And 
Lovingly Read And Swallow The Truth That 
Is 
The Holy Word 
And 
Avidly Live According To Its Precepts And Its Promises 
Should Be Moment-By-Moment Classing Up Our Operations 
As We Travel Undeterred To Hill Zion 
And 
Beautiful Beulah Land! 
Let The Lord Christ Hold Your Hand
And
Perfectly Direct Your Life!



Confidence In Christ
Is 
The Reality
Of
The Forever-Blessed! 


Brethren, Beloved, 

When We Eat Junk As Regular Food
We Get Fat! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Fat Is Synonymous With Sin
And 
All Fat ... All Sin
Is 
To Be Willingly Surrendered To Christ Jesus! 

We Must Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Our Minds 
Which Reforms The Thoughts We Have
Which Removes Our Desires For The Unholy And Profane 
So That We No Longer Desire 
To Touch The Unclean Things! 

By Almighty God's Great Grace
With Faith For The Victory
Choose To Remove 
And 
Drop As Dung
Satan's Nasty Nose Rings!

Be Ye Clean Ye Which Bear 
And 
Are The Vessels Of The Lord! 



Peace With Jesus Christ
Is
Paradise!

SINFUL SELF: Leeches Have No Future!






Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Good Shepherd
Our Peace, Rest, Light, Way 
And 
Life 
And
All Who Love, Trust, Honor
Worship 
And
Faithfully, Enduringly, Obey Him 
Shall Be Called Up To Live With Him On High! 

In Between Us 
And 
Our Lord, God, Savior, Redeemer
Healer, Sealer 
And 
Forever Friend
Separating Us From Sweet Fellowship
Is
A Blood/Life-Sucking Leech Called Sinful-Self 
Who Needlessly Suffers From Willful Blindness 
And 
Tunnel Vision
The Free Gifts From Satan The Damned
Our Adversary-Accuser
The Piercing Serpent
The Leech Writ Large! 

Beloved, 
Leeches Do Not Have A Future! 
Left Unchecked
They Drain Away The Life Of 
Whomever They're Feeding Upon 
And
When Their Host Miserably Dies 
For Lack Of Wisdom, Knowledge And Understanding 
And
The Health And Cure Offered 
By Our Great Physician, Jesus, 
The Leech Dies Forever As Well! 

Brethren, Beloved

Be Ye Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation!

Dare To Cut Out The Chaos:  
Come Straight To Christ!
 
Choose Life: 
Apply Humble, Earnest, Prayer! 

Exercise Faith: 
Receive Grace And Mercy!
 
Trust Truth: 
Deny The Liar! 

Don't Be Willful: 
Do Right! 

Come Out Of Darkness: 
Jesus Christ Is Living Light ... Consuming Fire
Which Kills All Leeches! 
Our Great Physician Is On Call! 



Reach For Peace!

Dare To Be Different ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!





 
Are You Walking With The World 
Setting Your Affections On Worldly Themes
Choosing Your Pleasures From Its Foul And Free Buffet
And 
Worshipping After Their Standards
Just So That You're Not Called And Classed 
Different Or Strange!?! 

Are You Aligning Your Future To The World's Fortunes 
For Present Personal Peace 
And 
Presumed Profit?! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Anyone Who Is A Friend Of The World 
Is 
The Enemy Of God: 
Jesus Christ Said So!

We Have Choice And Chance
Freedom And Free-Will
Opportunity And Occasion
And 
Heaven And Hell:
Tread Softly ... Carefully!
 
Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Choose To Walk On 
Broadway And Cast-Into-Hell 
Just To Enjoy An "Easy" But Lying Life Now! 

Please, By Faith
For Love 
With Hope For The Expected End 
Promised By The Lord Of Life
Dare To Walk On Strait, Straight And Narrow 
At Not-I-But-Christ 
And 
Live Now In Truth To Duty 
And Then 
To Enjoy True And Everlasting Beauty 
And 
Boundless Beautiful Blessings From The Hand Of Christ

Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: "Living" Behind Almighty God's Back!?!







There's An Old Expression About 
Living So Far From Town-Life
- From All The "Action"  - 
As To Be Living Behind Almighty God's Back! 

In Truth, Brethren
We Don't Ever Want To Reside In That Neighborhood 
Because 
It Is A Place Of Consuming Contempt
The Place Where Almighty God
The Lord Of Life 
- The Judge Of All Flesh - 
Puts Those Things Not Worthy Of His Remembrance
Namely Our Confessed 
And 
Humbly Repented Sins! 

Beloved, 
If You Are Living Behind The All-Knowing God's Back
It Means That Your Known Sin 
Is 
In His Face 
Which Means That Your Obvious Sin 
Is 
Decidedly Chargeable To Your Personal Account! 

In That Vicinity Of Residence ... Of Operation 
You're Boldly Declaring That 
Jesus Christ The Savior ... The Redeemer ... The Forever Friend
Didn't Personally Die For You ... The Condemned Sinner

And

You ... Being False-God-Level Rich
Are Indulging In Own-Sin Self-Pay: 
You've Rejected Free And Available Grace 
And 
The Dearly-Purchased Sure And Secure
Free-To-All Aka Whosoever Will Salvation! 

Be Wise Unto Salvation ... 

Get Smart! 
Reject  Pride! 
Raze The Foundation Of Your Foolish-Man-Built House 
And
Build Yourself A Sure House 
In The Light Of The Shining Face Of The Eternal God 
Who Is Willing To Be Gracious Unto You 
And 
Give You A Piece Of His Personal Peace 
As A Repentant Sinner Of The Contrite-Heart Clan 
Called Committed Christian Clothed In Christ! 

Sin ... A Stain
Is 
A Reproach: 
Righteousness Exalts! 
Live In The Glorious Light Of Life: 
Wear Righteous-Man White In Almighty God's Holy Sight! 


Blessings Immeasurable
Abundantly Await
The Cleaned And Redeemed
Faithful Saints
Of
God And Christ!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Be A Heaven-Daring Sinner!



 






The Lord
Is In His Holy Temple:
Let All The World
Keep Silence 
And
Tread Softly Before Him!!


If We Are Not Reformed ... Regenerated
By The Holy Spirit Of The Living God
We Will Find Ourselves Not Only Being 
Presumptuous, Heaven-Daring Sinners
Tempting Almighty God 
And 
Going Where We Ought Not To Go
But 
We Shall Find Ourselves 
Gloatingly Indulging In Iniquity ... Planned Sin
Knowing Full Well That We Are Hurting Others
Displeasing God 
And 
Entertaining The Damned Devil
Who Takes Perverse Pleasure 
In Watching Us Destroy Ourselves! 

In This Lawless Path Of Life, Beloved
Such An One Shall Find Him Or Herself
Designated By The Eternal God 
As A Reprobate
A Soul To Be Left Alone With Their Idols
And 
Idolatrous Practices
To Suffer ... Unattended By The Dear Lord's Mercy 
The Unmixed, Undiluted, Wrath Of God!

We Must Be Willing To Be Wise 
To Accept The Corrections
And 
The Chastisements Of The Lord 

And

Willingly Choose To Turn Away From 
The Prideful, Vengeful, Cruel
Dastardly Ways Of Satan! 

Almighty God ... The Omnipotent God
The All-Seeing, Ever-Present, All-Feeling God
Does Not Ever Sleep
So Wake Up 
And
Choose To Be Amongst The Wise Virgins 
Who Have The Oil Of The Holy Spirit 
Filling And Lighting Your Lamp 
Which Shows The One Way Home To The Father's House! 

Self Is A Sinner 
And 
Selfish Sinners ... Unrepentant
Serve Satan Solely 

And

At The Time Of The Eternal God's Own Appointing 
Shall Reap Satan's "Sweets!" 

Brethren, Beloved
Better Relief Than Grief: 
Do Right
And
Spiritually Prosper
Now ... And Forever!


God's Grace
Grows Great Grain
For His Granary!

BOW BEFORE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: Don't Burn With The Damned Devil!






We Will Do Ourselves The Greatest Favor 
When We Recognize That 
The Living God 
Is 
No Respecter Of Persons! 

There Is No List Marked: 
"Can't Do Right-Sinner!" 
And 
There Is No List Marked: 
"Can't Do Wrong-Saint!" 

Beloved, 
Before Aka In The Presence Of The Eternal God
There Is Not One Of Us 
Who Is Able To Say To The Lord:


"I Am Not A Sinner! 
I Am Righteous! 
I Am Clean! 
I Am Without Sin! 
I Am -  By Right
Entering Your Family-Home!" 


Any One Of Us ... Mere Mortals 
Who Can Confidently Tell Almighty God 
How Squeaky-Clean He Or She Is
Is 
God Almighty! 

If You're Mortal, You're Man! 
If You're A Man, You're A Sinner! 
If You're A Sinner, You Need The Savior! 
If You Need The Savior, You're Unclean! 

Since You're Known-Unclean
You Have Nothing To Give The Lord Of Life 
And
You Shall Surely Perish At His Presence 
Because 
He Is The Consuming Fire: 
The Brightness Of His Holiness 
Destroys Sinners And Sin! 

Jesus Christ Paid For Us To Be Made Clean! 
Our Self-Righteous-Cleanness 
Is 
Filthy Rags: 
Get Clean And White Linen
- The Character Of Christ - 
From Christ The King
- The Only One Righteous - 
And 
Save Yourself 
From Having The Shame Of Your Nakedness
- Your Sin - 
Publicly Exposed! 

There Is Profit In Repentance 
But 
Never In Satanic Pride! 
Bow For Worship 
And 
In HeartfeltPraise:
Don't Burn In Destruction By Damnation
Because 
You Reject The Promise
The Offer 
The Gift
The Blessing Of Revival And Reformation!


Perfect Peace
In **And** From
Almighty God
Is
Possible
And 
Provided!
