Wearing The King's Supplied-For-Us Garments!

No Love, No Faith, No Works, No Robe!

What Are We Rejoicing Over 

And

Being Joyful About 

If

We Are Not Attired In The Garments 

Which The Lord Christ Has Supplied For Us To Wear 

And

As A Mark Of Our Cooperation With

And 

Obedience And Belonging To Him!?! 

Beloved, 

In These Last Days

There Will Be Those Among Us Who Will Bear The Lord's Name 

But

Will Provide Their Own Food Aka Truth 

And 

Their Own Clothing Aka Doctrines, Behaviors, Beliefs! 

They Desire To Bear That Holy Name 

To Hide Their Obvious Shame! 

Let Us Not Join With The Proud Evil-Doers Because 

It Will Not End Well With Them 

Or Any Who Join With Them In Their Rebellion! 

Pride, Rebellion, And Disobedience 

Are All Character Traits Of 

Satan And All Who Now Walk As He Did! 

The First Garment Of Salvation, Justification

Is 

Ours When We Accept Jesus! 

To Achieve The Second, Sanctification

Is 

The Work Of A Lifetime! 

Glorification Aka Immortality, Incorruptibility

The Clean, White, Linen Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 

Is 

The Reward Of Those Who Pass The Test Aka Overcome Sin! 

They Are Found Faithful ...  Redeemable

Prior To The Glad Day When The Lord Comes 

Bringing His Rewards With Him 

To Claim His People, His Saints! 

What Are You Saying, Doing, Wearing, Baring!?! 

Are You True To The Committed Class 

In The School Of Christ!?! 

Are You A Skin-Out Name-Only Christian 

Or

A Spirit-Filled, Obedient

Working, Watching, Waiting, Christian!?! 

The Lord Knows! 

Do You!?! 

Do I!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It 

And 

Choose To Live In Righteousness ... Now! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: The Year Is New And God's Word Remains True!

Father! 

My God In Heaven!

Holy Is Your Name! 

I Sincerely Beseech You To Help Me To Remain Faithful 

So That You Will Always Be Father To, And Holy For, Me! 

May You Thus Be For All Who Are Committed 

To The Cause Of Jesus Christ! 

I Have No Known Reason To Doubt You Or Your Word 

And By Your Saving Grace, I Plead, Lord, That 

The Day Will Never Come 

When I Know Who For, What With, Where, Which Way

And When I Will Choose To Betray My Savior For Comfort And Cash 

Which Are Mere Illusions 

In The Eternal Scheme Of Things! 

It Is My Soul's Desire To: 

H ave A Regular Talk With My Jesus

A ppreciate That I Am Truly Blessed

P ray For Friends And Enemies

P ut My Spiritual House In Order

Y ield Not To Temptation

N ever Depart From The Savior's Side 

E ncourage Others On Their Journey To Joy

W atch, Work, And Wait For The Great Day

Y ield My Will To My Savior

E ndure All Things For My Lord

A llow The Holy Spirit To Work

R ejoice That The Lord Christ Is The King! 

In The Name That Is Above All Names

The Only Name By Which We Are Saved

I Pray For The Brethren The World Around 

Who Are Seeking For, And Coming To, Faith That 

Their Heart's Desire Will Be Met 

While It Is Yet Day! 

Remind Us That Our Happiness

Is Only Found In The Lord Jesus Christ

And Bless Us To Find Our Contentment In Him!

Please Protect, Provide For, Correct

And Direct Us All Who Are Willing 

On The Narrow Way Home! 

Remember Us All In Your Great Mercy As Only You Are Able 

For We Love You More Than Life Itself! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + God-Conscious: The Word Of The Lord Stands Forever!

One Of The Wonderful Things About 

Being Under The Benevolent Control Of The Holy God 

Is That 

We Have Options! 

We Have The Free-Will 

To Exercise Our Freedom To Choose 

To Utilize Any And All Options 

Then On The Loaded Table Of Life! 

What A Buffet! 

If You Are A Committed Christian

You Will, With Wisdom Say:

Lord God Almighty, 

I Love You 

And 

Choose To Let You Rule My Life 

According To Your Living Word

The Unerring Truth! 

Please Help Me 

Not To Indulge In The See-Food Diet 

And 

Give In To Guts Over Glory! 

Beloved, 

We Are Nearing Home! 

We Need To Get Back To Basics! 

We Need To Get Back To Being God-Conscious 

And 

Reject Being Self-Conscious 

Which Is Where Sin

Via Lucifer's Elevation Aka Consciousness Of His Self 

Entered The Universe

And 

Subsequently Despoiled Our Fore-Parents 

And 

Our Earthly Home! 

In One Text Of Scripture

We Are Cautioned

Warned

Encouraged

And 

Blessed 

And

We Need To Take Heed 

To The Preservation Of Our Own Souls 

Because 

All Else Will Pass Away Into Oblivion: 

The Word Of Our God Will Stand Forever! 

Self 

Is 

A Notorious Sinner!

Jesus Christ ... The Word Of God

Is 

Lord, God, And King Forever: 

Do Not Crucify Him Again 

By Bringing His Name To An Open Shame 

By Exploring Bad Options! 

The Word Of Almighty God Works 

And 

Is Always On Duty: 

Hookups Are Encouraged! 

The Lord's Truth 

Is 

Our Belt, Sword, And Shield: 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace! 

Faithfulness Encompasses Your T.O.E.S.

Wisdom Says That A Friend In Need 

Is 

A Friend Indeed! 

The Elders Said That It Is Good To Have A Friend 

And

Bad To Want One! 

Are You A Friend!?! 

Can Your Friendship Be Trusted ... Tested!?! 

Will Your Friendship Be Validated, Cemented, Strengthened

By, With, And In Adversity!?! 

Beloved, 

The Living God, Himself, Called Abraham 

The Friend Of God! 

The Lord Spoke To Moses 

Just As One Speaks To A Dear Friend! 

To Be The Friend Of Almighty God 

Is 

To Carry The Weightiness Of A Burden 

And

Be Like A Bird! 

Friendship With The Lord 

Is 

A Privilege And A Pleasure! 

We Know Of A Surety That 

We May Wholeheartedly Trust Our Dearest Friend

The Lord Of Life! 

He Is Rich In Houses And Lands

And 

He Gives Good And Perfect Gifts

And

He Is  Available Day And Night

And

He Always Has Healing, Blessings

No Matter How The Tides Of Life Swing! 

Question Is: 

Are You Giving As Good As You Are Getting 

In Your Friendship With The Lord Christ!?! 

All The Lord Wants From You 

Is 

Your Faithfulness Which Encompasses 

Your Trust, Obedience, Endurance, And Sincerity 

Aka Your T.O.E.S. 

Which Always Follow Your Committed Heart! 

Can The Lord Count On Us

Count On You, Me, Now, Today!?! 

Please Join Me As I ... By The Inward Look

Inventory My Heart! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Peace With You 

Through Friendship

Forged

Through Fire!

AMEN!

Trust Is Faith In Action!

 

The Lord's Love, Grace, And Mercy Towards Us Is Perfect 

And

If You Don't Understand This Scripture

We Are In Trouble! 

It Is A Personal Word Of Upliftment

So Here It Goes: 

"Almighty God

Is

My Foundation, My Protection, My Escape! 

He Is My Personal Deity ... He Knows My Name! 

He Feels My Pain And Shame! 

He Put Himself In My Place, And I Am Safe ... Saved! 

He Is My Hope ... I Repose My Trust In Him Alone! 

He Is The Belt That Secures Me To Himself! 

He Is My Horn, My Basket Of Plenty Good Good

Blessings Immeasurable

And 

Blessings Innumerable! 

He Is The One Who Holds Me Up

Who Holds Me Aloft 

And 

Above The Maddening Throng! 

He Is My Sure Defence 

And 

By Him ... In His Loving Care

By His Sweet Spirit Who Leads Me

Teaches, Guides, Chastises, And Blesses Me

I Am Forever Blessed! 

The Living God Is The Lord Of My Life 

And 

In Him I Have Peace

And 

I Am At Rest! 

I Love The Lord: 

He Loves Me First!" 

Beloved, 

The Living God Of Grace And Glory

The Eternal God ... Our God ... Cannot Lie: 

We May Take Him At His Word! 

Let Us Make His Word To Us Personal! 

Let Us Ever Choose To Pray The Promises Of God 

According To Our Need 

And 

Just Because 

Because 

They Are Also For Our Comfort! 

Doubt Is Faith's Inaction! 

Trust Is Faith In Action! 

Take The Word At His Word 

And 

Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Work Your Gift Of Faith! 

Peace!

EYES WIDE SHUT: Blind, Blind, Blindness!?!

Never Give Up 

Truth For Pleasure

Integrity For Bodily Comfort

Convictions For Companionship

Nor Wisdom For What Passes For The Perfection Of Beauty! 

Beloved, 

There's An Old Expression About 

Walking With Your Eyes Wide Shut: 

Think On This Thing! 

If You Are Not Physically Blind

You Walk With Your Eyes Wide Open! 

You Only Squint Your Eyes 

If 

The Light Input Is Overbearing And Overloading Your Nerves! 

When You Are Walking With Your Eyes Open

Your Peripheral Aka Side Vision Either Advises Or Warns You! 

If We Are Walking Boldly And Willfully Blindly

We Are Responsible For Any And All Collisions 

And

Must Accept Any And All Scrapes, Cuts

Bruises, Punctures, And Broken Bones 

Which Are Occasioned 

By Our Very Own Practiced Lawlessness! 

Trust And Obedience Hinge Upon Our Acceptance Of 

The Counsel Found In The Book Of Knowledge 

Which We Read 

And 

By Saving Grace, Understand! 

We Are Responsible For What We Know 

And

For What We Had The Presented Opportunity To Know 

But

Refused To Take A Firm Hold Upon! 

Dear Ones, 

Pleading Self-Incrimination 

Will Not, Cannot, Work For Faithful Christians 

So Let Us Choose To Be Christians By The Holy Name 

And 

Blessed Nature Of Our Lord Christ 

All Day, Every Day, And In Every Way! 

Jesus Died To Save Us All 

But

Those Who Are Finally Saved Are Saved 

Because 

They Believed Almighty God's Word 

And

Faithfully Acted As Lovingly Directed! 

Willful Blindness 

Is 

The Act Of A Fool: 

There Will Be No Fools In Heaven! 

The Fool Says In His Heart

That There Is No God!

Be Willingly Wise! 

Peace!

Walk Wise!

Empty Vessels Make The Most Noise! 

A Broken Bulb Sheds No Light! 

An Unopened Bible Cannot Teach! 

An Unasked Question Cannot Be Answered! 

Neglecting Talking To The Lord 

Is 

To Refuse The Choicest Of Blessings!

 Beloved, 

Why Would You Sit Down With Those Who Scorn The Gospel

Those Who Are As Broken Cisterns Holding A Bit Of Tainted Water

Those Who Are Like White-Washed Tombs 

Holding The Remains Of The Dead 

Aka The Putrid Purrings Lies, Conceits And Deceits Of Satan 

When You Are Invited To Walk With The Lord

In The Living Holy Light Of His Blessed Word!?! 

We Are Individuals, Unique, Precious, Loved, Desired, Called! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Is 

The Anchor For Our Souls 

And 

We Are Invited To Dock Our Ships 

In The Sheltered Berth That He Has Provided! 

We Are Invited To Experience His Gift To Us Of The New Birth

The New Life

By Permitting Him To Get Rid Of Our Old Man

Our Old Life

Our Known Unprofitable Ways! 

We Are Nothing Without The Lord Christ! 

We Are Everything When We Are Buried In Him: 

He Is Life! 

Be Encouraged! 

Resurrection Day Is Just Up Ahead! 

I Sincerely Pray The Lord That 

We Shall See Each Other Robed In White 

On That Great And Glorious Day! 

Brethren Beloved,

Deny Self! 

Reject Sin! 

Walk Wise! 

Embrace Truth! 

Be Faithful! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Live For Jesus!

 

Peace!

YOUR OPEN INVITATION: Ask The Lord Christ ...!

Strict Obedience! 

     Working Faith! 

           Ready Willingness! 

Complete Trust! 

      Unfeigned Worship! 

          Joy-Filled Praise! 

Heartfelt Prayer! 

     Unwavering Endurance! 

Do You Have These Attributes!?! 

Have Lost Some And Gained Others!?! 

Do You Desire Them All To Use Them

In The Service Of Him Who Is Our All And All!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Attitude Will Either Bless Or Blight! 

When We Look Down Despairingly At Dirt 

And 

Look Around Wonderingly At The Disgusting

We Tend To Despondently Look Inward 

Instead Of Hopefully Looking Upward To The Lord! 

When We Are Not Grateful About The Hurdles That 

We Have Overcome By The Lord's Ever-Sufficient Grace

We Deal In Man-Feelings 

And 

Not In The God-Facts Aka Truths In The Living Word! 

Babies Are Amazing As They Learn To Walk! 

They Crawl, Stand, Step

Fall

Get Up, Stand Up, Step Off

Fall Over

Yelp In Frustration

Set Their Hearts With Conviction

Stand Up With Determination

Ignore Possible Humiliation

And Suddenly

Walk With Jubilation! 

We, As Parents, Teach Our Babies These Necessary Skills: 

Physicians!?! 

Let's Heal Ourselves! 

If You Are Able To Teach A Clean-Slate Mind

You Are Well Able To Utilize What You, Yourself, Already Know 

For Your Own Blessing 

By Our Lord's Gifts Of Unfailing, Momentary, Grace 

And

Daily Faith! 

If You Lack Wisdom

Ask The Lord For His Liberal Blessing 

Knowing That You Will Not Be Chastised! 

Boldly, Humbly ... Prayerfully 

Make Your Requests Known Unto God: 

You Have The Open Invitation! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JOYS FOREVERMORE: All The Way With Christ Jesus!

We Must Come To Totally Trust Our Lord Christ! 

If ... When ... The Lord Jesus Sends You On One Of His Errands

He Will Provide The Means To Get It Done 

And

Will Show You The Method To Accomplish The Work! 

When The Lord Delivers Us From One Of Our Sorrows

He Delivers Us To Himself 

To Experience One Or Any Number Of His Determinate Joys! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Does Not Say "Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

If He Cannot Cause Morning To Break! 

He Does Not Say That He Will Turn Our Mourning Into Dancing 

If He Is Not The Creator, Composer

And 

Conductor Of Music ... And Joyful Celebration! 

Our Jesus Says "Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding!" 

Because 

He Provides You With His Wisdom! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace 

Because 

He Will End Our Every War! 

He Is The Light As He Extinguishes Darkness! 

He Is The Life Of Every Man 

Because 

He Is The Author Of Life 

And

Has Conquered Death! 

Jesus Christ Will Supply Joys Forevermore 

Because 

He Is The Joy Of Living 

And

Grants Eternal Life! 

Our Lord Christ Saves Us 

Because 

He Is The Savior

And 

He Will Redeem Us 

Because 

He Has Already Paid Our Purchase Price! 

Our Blessed And Beloved Jesus Will Come Back For Us 

Because 

He Promised To Return As He Was Leaving Us Behind 

To Go To Our Father! 

Our Lord And God Known Almighty Is Able 

And

Everything That He Has Said That He Will Do

He Is The Power To Accomplish It! 

Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory

Asks Us To Trust Him 

And 

He Gives Us An Each-Day Gift Of 

A Measure Of His Faith 

To Use To Trust Him At His Word Aka The Truth! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

A New Day To Live

Brings A Fresh Supply Of Faith 

To Use To Honor The Lord! 

Choose To Be Blessed! 

Choose To Believe God: 

Please Use Your Gift Of Faith For Today!

 

Peace That Comes From The Prince Of Peace

Is

Perfect Peace:

Peace Be Upon You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Be Kind!

Be Kind! 

Our Dear Savior Was ... Is ... Kind To Us

And

He Is Kind Even When We Are Not Kind To Ourselves 

Or To Others! 

Beloved, 

If You Were The Darling Of Heaven

Accustomed To The Worship And Adulation Of 

Your Subjects, Your Servants

Would You Remove Your Crown Of Glory

And 

Your Robe Of State

And 

Do All To Save Those Of Your Workmanship 

Who Had Gone Rogue 

And 

Chosen Disobedience, Disrespect, Dishonesty

And 

Sure Damnation 

To Be Wise In Their Own Eyes 

As They Denied Your Sovereignty

And 

Raised Up Gods Of Their Own Creation!?! 

Dear Lord,

Please Open Our Eyes

So That We May See

Wondrous Things Out Of Thy Law!

We Are What We Eat! 

With What Are You Feeding Your Soul 

And

Whose Hand Is Preparing The Meal!?! 

Are You Taken With Consuming 

What Will Soothe Itching Ears 

As It Sears Your Conscience!?! 

Today, Dear Ones, 

I Pray That We Will Be Good To Ourselves 

And

To Each Other! 

Let Us Remember As Children, Students

And 

Servants Of The Almighty God 

Bought Back From Sin

And 

Called To Be Royalty 

And

To The Holy Priesthood That 

We Are To Be A Peculiar People

Holy, Undefiled, Loving, Ever True

And 

Always Kind! 

Please Do Not Think About Who Is Being Unkind: 

See To It That You Are Not! 

Be Giving And Forgiving

And 

Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Look To Jesus Christ: 

Kindness Pays In Its Own Coin! 

Peace! 

Desire Decides Destination!

For What Are You Longing Aka What Is Your Desire!?! 

What Is Your Soul's Desire!?! 

Has It Been Denied You!?! 

Have You Denied It!?! 

Beloved, 

When We Were Children

We Played An Almost Game: 

When We Were Told "No!" 

We Raucously Responded: 

"Noah Built The Ark!" 

"No!" Is A Lesson That All Should Learn

Should Learn To Accept And Appreciate 

And

Should Learn To Practice Saying 

If 

One Is To Have Any Semblance Of A Peaceful Life! 

Accepting "No!" For The Answer To A Request 

Often Keeps Us Out Of The Land Of Regret: 

The Food Served There 

Is Not 

Exactly  Pleasing To The Eye Or The Taste-Buds

Since It Consists Of Such Things As Bitter Fruit

Humble Pie

Regurgitate

And 

Feel De Burn! 

Dear Ones, 

When Our Desire 

Is 

For The King Of Love

We Can Place Head, Heart

Hands, And Feet Into The "Game" Without Fear

Knowing That All Of Our Supposed Earthly Losses 

Will Pay Heavenly Dividends! 

Pining After Selfish And Wicked Desires 

Seals Us In Our Sin! 

Isn't It Time To Get Away From Serving "Greedy-Me" 

And 

Start Thinking About 

The Giving Of Ourselves To Bless Our Lord 

By Blessing Others!?! 

Desire Decides Destination! 

Jesus Christ, Immanuel, God With Us

Willingly Gave All Of Himself To Save All Of Us! 

Please Give Of Yourself To The Master, Our Dear Savior: 

You Shall Not Suffer Loss! 

Desire The Best Gifts! 

Peace! 

Soooo, You're Determined ...! ?!

What Are You Determined To Accomplish 

If

As Our Elders Used To Say

It Is The Last Thing That You Ever Do 

Before Joining The Underground Staff 

Aka The Society Of The Dead!?! 

Will Almighty God Bless You In Your Striving!?! 

Will It Get You One Step Closer To Heaven Or 

Will It Autograph Your Account In The Books Of Heaven: 

"Outcast! Condemned! Damned!?!" 

Beloved, 

Determination 

Is 

A Good Attribute To Possess 

When It Comes To The Things Of God 

Aka Goodness, Meekness, Gentleness

Kindness, Self-Control, Temperance, Long-Suffering

Faithfulness, And The Like! 

Determination That Is Brought On By Pride

Self-Centeredness, Envy, Greed, Hatred

The Desire For Self-Promotion

And 

The Callous Disregard For The Rights

Freedoms, And Feelings Of Others 

Is 

Of The Devil! 

Anything That We Have To Hide And Buy 

Or Sneak To Do 

Cannot Stand Up To The Sniff-Test Of Righteousness 

And

Our Determination To Gain From God-Declared Loss 

Will Ensure That We Are Counted As Lost To  All That 

Is 

Godly Gain! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Called To Seek Christ 

And 

His Righteousness 

Through Faith And Determined Effort! 

To Be Determined To Mine Jewels 

In The Fields Of Wickedness 

Is 

To Water And Feed Sin 

And

Wantonly Starve Your Own Soul Of 

Sure And Secure Salvation! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Be As Was Lucifer

Achan, Prophet Balaam

King Saul Or Judas Iscariot! 

Plead For Direction 

And

Accept Correction 

Before You Are Damned By Wrong Determination! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Peace: 

Follow Him! 

FICKLE SENSES: Steadfast Faith!

In The Midst Of Life

In The Face Of Death

On The Steps Of 

The Uncertainty Of The Day Called Tomorrow

How Steadfast Is Your Faith In The Eternal Promises Of 

Almighty God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

On The One Hand 

Is 

The I-Know By Unfailing-Faith The Word Of God 

Which Standeth Sure 

And

On The Other Hand 

Is

The Uncertain, Uncertain "Knowledge" 

As Freely Sold By Those Fickle Senses 

I-See

I-Feel

And 

I-Hear

All Three Of Which Are Notorious 

For Their Light Handling Of 

Good, Truth, And Right 

Which Do Not Produce Profits 

For False Prophets And Profiteers! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget: 

Christ's Faithful Followers Can't Afford 

The "Luxury" Of Living By Sensation! 

We Reason With The Lord! 

We Ask For The Wisdom Which We Know We Lack! 

We Seek The Lord While He Is To Be Found

And

We Pray For The Outpouring And Indwelling Of 

The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth 

And

Corrects Our Every Error 

And

Comforts Us! 

Our Prayers Of Faith 

Open For Us The Storehouse Of Knowledge Of 

The Only Wise God Who Says To You, Personally:

"Come ... And Be Blessed! 

Come And Dine!" 

Remember, 

You ... Being Wise

Only Dine Where There Is Food Good For You! 

Be Strong In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!

Resilience!

In Primary School

We Were Rigorously Taught: 

"If At First You Don't Succeed

Try, Try, Again!" 

These Are Good Words To Live By 

And

Surprise, No Surprise

This Sentiment Is Plainly Expressed 

In The Living Word Of Truth! 

Beloved, 

A Baby Doesn't Learn To Walk In A Day

A Toddler Is Neither Potty-Trained Nor Speaks Plainly 

In An Hour

And 

Neither Does A Kindergartener Learn To Write Fluidly 

In Five Minutes! 

We Are Justified ... Made Right With Our God

In The Instant That We Humbly

Truthfully

Accept Jesus Christ As Savior, Lord, God, And King 

But

Being Sanctified

Set-Apart For Holy Use

Attaining Unto The Mind Of Christ

Being Regenerated In The Image Of God

Is 

The Solid Work Of A Lifetime! 

We Are Prone To Sinning By Nature 

But

We Are Nurtured To Holiness By The Holy Spirit 

Moment By Moment Of Each Day

As And When We Choose To Completely Cooperate 

With Our Lord Christ! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Choose Endurance

Resilience

Stick-To-Itiveness

If You Desire To See Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace! 

Pray, Plead, And Plod On! 

By Saving Grace

Try To Reach Higher Heights Daily

Trust The Savior Wholly And Solely

And 

Live By Truth Absolutely! 

Get Up From Setbacks 

And

Get On With Living For Jesus! 

Peace!
