PRAYER: Lord, I Need You And I'm Neither Afraid, Ashamed Nor Sorrowful Over That Fact!






PRAYER:

Help Me, Dear Lord
To Exercise Faith
Instead Of Petting Doubt!
Help Me, Please, I Beseech You
To Sing Your Praise
Instead Of About Self To Pout!
Help Me To Live In Your Love
Instead Of Licking Up Lies
Which Say That You Are An Absentee Landlord
A Licensed King
Without Affection Or Ties!

I Love You, Lord!
You Love Me True!
You've Been By My Side My Whole Life Through
And 
By Your Gift Of Grace For Today 
Strength For The Way
Truth That Doesn't Stray
Faith That Pays
Blessings That Stay
Living Light Always
Holy Companions That Care
Hope For Glory To Share
The Holy Spirit Everywhere
Jesus Christ Interceding In Heaven Up There
And
The School Of Jesus
Correcting My Character Here
And
Living Markers Showing Your Love
The World Around
Makes Loving You ... Trusting You
Viable, Good, Right, Best
The Thing That Takes Me To Your Side
Where, Truly, I Belong!

I Am Blessed, Lord
To Know That You Care Enough
To Tell Me About My Sinful, Whorish, Behavior
Where I Say I Love You The Holy God
And Yet
In Fits Of Utter Madness
Short-Sightedness
Wild Abandonment Of Your Awesome Majesty
I Recklessly Go After 
The Unholy And Profane Gods That 
Can't Even Carry Themselves! 
I Repent! 
Please Forgive Me! 

When I Think On You, Lord
Your Word, Your Character
I Am Amazed And Ashamed
To Have Exercised Love And License
Faith And Doubt
Unbelief And Disbelief 
In Our Relationship! 
Please Forgive Me ... I Repent!

You Provide Food And Shelter
Things For Beauty And For Glory
Fragrances To Tickle My Mind, My Senses
Things To Tantalize My Tastebuds
Things To Tingle My Ears
Things To Thrill This Soul With Peace 
Power
And
Pointing To Your Preserving Love And Care
And
That Sabbath Rest That Restores My Soul
For Having Spent Time
In Your Quickening Presence! 

Forgive Me For Being As That Fool
Who, Lying, Says
And
Behaves
As If There Is No God Almighty
No Judge Of Human Flesh
And
Fallen Angels Damned! 

I Hear Your Voice, Lord! 
Please Never Stop Talking To Me! 
I Need You
And
I Am Neither Afraid
Ashamed
Nor Sorrowful Over That Fact!
 
I Desire To Be Close To You:
Please Draw Close To Me!
 
I Am Willing To Your Faithful Servant:
Please Commission And Equip Me!
 
Please Hold My Hand
Correct, Direct, Protect 
Lead, Feed
And
Use Me According To Your Sovereign Will
And 
Ever In Your Holy Way! 
I Am Willing, Lord!

I Make Myself Available To You, Father
For You Are My God!
You Know My Name, My Nature
The Length Of My Days
And
By Your Grace Upon Me
Through Your Gift Of Faith To Me
I Choose To Strive To Be An Overcomer Of Sin
A Diligent Servant Of My King
A Child Who Humbly Walks Before You, My God
For Holy Love That Does
And
Not For The Promised Rewards! 

Thank You For Your Abiding Love That Eternally Lasts! 
I Am Grateful For The Knowledge That Proves That
Godly Obedience Delivers
And
Love To God Elevates! 
Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That
I Humbly Pray And Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!!!

Zion ... Or Oblivion !?!

 




Gun Powder
The Printing Press 
And 
Magnets 
Irretrievably Changed The Life Of Man ... Forever!

Jesus Christ ... By His Life
Death And Resurrection
Changed The Life For Man ... Forever! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Changing Our Lives Now 
Because 
He ... Our High Priest
Is 
In Heaven ... For Us ... Interceding! 

Almighty God's Truth

And 
Mercy 
Gives Us

E levation ... Raises Us Up To God The Father
S atisfaction ... Relief From Sin And Self
U nification ... Re-Entry Into The Family Of Almighty God
    And 
S anctification ... Readiness For Eternal Life
Forever!

Sin Costs:
Jesus Christ Paid! 

Salvation Costs: 
Free Mercy Paid! 

We Sinned: 
Our Blessed Savior Paid! 

Repentance Costs: 
Almighty God's Unfailing Forgiveness Pays! 

A Changed Life ... By The Holy Spirit Power Of God
Involves Change
Decay 
And 
Reformation! 

Are You Acknowledging The Word Of God 
But
Denying The Power Of The Living God 
To Personally Change You!?! 

Are You Living In Sin 
And
Denying Its Impacts 
And 
Unchangeable ... Inescapable ... Consequences!?!

How Is Your Forward Motion!?! 
Are You Crab-Walking
Slug-Crawling
Or Snake Winding 

Or

Are You Embracing Truth And Life 
As You Walk In The Light Of Life!?! 

Are You Headed To Zion 
Or
Oblivion
Aka Eternal Separation From Almighty God!?! 

We Are Nearing Home!
The Handwriting Is On The Wall!
Truth 
Is 
Trustworthy
And
Now Is Not The Time 
To Play Jeopardy Or Blue's Clues! 

Dare To Personally Know ... And Fervently Love
And
Willing Obey 
And
Serve
And
Worship
And 
Honor
And
Praise The Lord 
And
At The Time Of Appointing ... As An Overcomer
Receive His Blessed Reward!

Dare To Hold Our Almighty God
- In The Person Of Jesus Christ Our Lord ... And King - 
In Godly Fear ... Awe At His Majesty
And
Be In Perfect Peace 
In, By, And Through His Perfect - Personal - Love
For You ... For Me ... For Us!

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!?!

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!
