VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Reacting To Life! + Prayer











"How do you stand it!?!"

"Why are you so calm!?!"


"I've paid a heavy price for My Faith but
You know what? Jesus is now running My Show!
You see, I made up My Mind
For He said that He Is Divine, so
I Decided to Trust Him, and
Now My Worry is in Decline!
What about y'all?'


"Knee! - I Pray"

"Jerk! - I React!"


"Knee-Jerk! I Pray AND React!"



"Wow! I know whatcha mean!
Been There!
Done That!
Misery was My Companion and
I was ready for the Tin-foil Hat!"



Sitting out there upon "The Shelf" Is 
The Problem with Christian-By-Self:


#CallingOnJesus!
Depending on Self!
Reacting to The World!
Destroying Soul Health!


Trust Jesus! - Jesus is The Shepherd!
Lean On The Spirit! - The Spirit is for Help in Prayer!
Read The Holy Bible! - It's The Captain's Word!
Depend on Him! - Our God Truly Provides Care!


********
Father, I know what I was without You
A sinner without You who anything would do
But, You met Me in The Way
You said: "Child, There you cannot stay!"
And I from that world walked away!
I do not brag but
I thank You, Lord, for casting that Bag Full of My Sin
Into Your Forgetfulness Sea -
You promised it shall not to Your Memory return and
You promised You will not me spurn
So, please, keep Teaching this Child, Lord
For I need Your Lessons for Gaining Eternal Life to daily learn.
AMEN








BENEDICTION:

May Your Rest Be Sweet
May Your Peace Be Complete
May Your Spirit Soar
As Jesus Knocks at Your Trembling Heart's Door
May Your Night Be As Bright As The Noon-day Light
And May You Awaken To The Son's Sweet Light For 
Our God IS Nigh.
AMEN.



Do You Know Who ...?





Who is Shepherding the Shepherds of The Sheep?
Who will Cull The False Sheep that Bleat?
Who is Preparing The Reward for The Meek?
Jesus Christ - The Savior that The Faithful Soul Seeks!

Who is Marking The Way that Will Eternally Pay?
Who is Bringing Home The Children who from Him had Strayed?
Who is Faithful and Just to Forgive those who Obey?
Jesus Christ - The Savior, The Lamb in whose Name to Almighty God we Pray!

Who is Holding us, Helping us To Stand
Faithful, Walking Holy toward The Great I AM?
Who Humbled Himself that we may have a Home in The Glorious Land?
Jesus Christ - The Savior, The King, The True Shepherd whose Sheep I, Thankfully, am
And whose Returning is Close at Hand!

HAPPY SABBATH + Getting To Wear The Real King's Clothes + Prayer







The Word of God is Sharper
Than any Two-edged Sword
Dividing The Soul and The Spirit
Exposing The Marrow in The Bone!

With such a Weapon at our Disposal
What do we have to Fear?
Preach The Word In and Out of Season
For God's Trees Will Produce and Good Fruit bear!

Satan is The Liar!
His Arsenal includes Doubt, Disbelief and Fear
And if you Give him even Scant Soul Entry
He will set up his Lion's Den there!

The Word of The Lord is Quick and Powerful!
Don't Forget it, and don't from Truth Walk Away!
Let The Master Measure you for a Righteous Garment
As you Believe, Trust and Work while Awaiting 
The Kingdom's New Residents' Dressing-Up Day!


Lord, I Want to Wear Your Garment
That Garment Called Christ's Righteousness
Bless Me, Help Me to Walk As One Holy
Not Craven and Given to High-mindedness!

Help Me to Humble Myself Daily!
Help Me to Honor You and Obey!
Help Me to Deny Self and Presumption!
Give Me Fresh Courage to Walk In Faith and
To be Instant and Constant in Pray!
I Love You, Lord.
AMEN.




God ...! + Prayer: Thank You, Lord



God ... Provides! 
I didn't have to Make a Request!


God ... Gives!
I didn't know that I had "The Need!"

God ... Saves! 
I knew that I was Sinking!

God ... Lives! 
I Breathe! I Breathe!



Thank You, Lord, for The Blessing today!
Thank You, Lord, for Hearing as I Pray!
Thank You, Lord, for Making The Way!
Thank You, Lord ... For Your Mercy!
Amen.

I Am Blessed! + Prayer - Father, Thank You For My Blessings!




I Am Blessed!
I don't Speak of it
But If God was "Mean" to Me
Everybody would Hear about it!

I Am Blessed!
I don't Speak of it
But If My Pantry was Bare
I would be Saying: "I Always Knew That God Does Not Care!"

I Am Blessed!
I don't Speak of it
But If Illness was in my Door
Everybody would be Hearing The "Why Me?!" Furor!

Amazingly, He Who Blesses Me
Does Not Need My Speech
To Provide Me with My Blessings!
He Provides
Because His Holy Love Abides
And He is My Guardian and My Guide
And The Holy Angels are Round About, and at My Side, and
The Holy Spirit in Me Resides!

I Don't Need to Talk About My Blessings
But I - From Now On - Will
For He who Provides
Comforts Me and Stills
All My Anxiety
About The Cup I Fill
And Reminds Me
Of His Rest and Peace
And Points Me Lovingly To The Day
When I Shall Have
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Relief!

The Ones Which Are Held In Heaven's Store!
Oh, Lord, I Am Blessed!

"C.P.D. Disease"



C.P.D is the Not-New Disease
That Mankind is Suffering from
It Effects are Enormous
And there is no Antidote 
Out on The Market Front!

C is The Mange-Marker that Attacks most People!
P is The Easiest from Others to Hide Away!
But D is The One That Does The Most Damage
For it causes Man to Run Walk-away from God
And with Exciting Pretty Sin Play!

Combined, the Effects to Mankind are Overwhelming!
Singularly, the Destructive Force is as The Rushing Rhine
Or better The Harvest Combine!
In any combination, they are 
Right there with Pain caused to the Damaged Spine!

Corruption of The Soul and The Spirit
Perversion of  Actions, Thoughts and Ideals
Diversion of Worship from The Master
Leads Men to let them Satan Steal!

Corruption Perversion Diversion
Perversion Diversion Corruption
Diversion Corruption Perversion
Perversion Corruption Diversion
Corruption Diversion Perversion
Diversion Perversion Corruption
However you Line The Bowl
Mankind will Lose his Soul
For God will not Tolerate Smoking Coal
When Mankind should be by Jesus Christ as Pure Gold!

Mind, Body, Spirit were made 
To Bow before Our Lord
All Things were Made by and for Him
We must Worship Him - He is our Creator
Redeemer, Savior, Jesus Christ, Our God and Lord!

"The Sexuality Thing!"




In The Beginning GOD Created ...
Male and Female Created He Them!


Firstly, We Were All Heterosexual

Then ...

The Modern Culture Wars Started

And Then ...

He was Homosexual
Then She was Bi-sexual
Then He was Bi-curious
Then She was A-sexual
Then He was Pan-sexual
Then They were Sexually Fluid
Then He turned out to be Inter-sexual

And Then ...

My Head started to spin for there are 
Multitudinous Designations from which to 
Declare One's Sexuality
For Sexuality is Contextual
And I think I shall take the position Fetal.

"Father, did You make a Mistake?!
Are You not The Living God?
Do You not See All?
Do You not Know All?
Are You not Ever-Present?
Should I become dissatisfied with whom You created Me to be?"

"My Child! I AM The Lord! - I Change Not!
I AM The Lord - there is none else!
I AM The Lord - I AM Faithful!
I AM Holy - Walk Holy!
I AM The Lord that Heals you!
Worship GOD!"

Well, so that there is no mistaking who and what I was created to be

I Declare - of My Free Will - that
I Love The Lord God Almighty 
AND
I Really Like My God who
In His All-knowing All-seeing Wisdom
Made Man AND Woman - The Heterosexual Pair
With
Nothing to Change
Re-arrange
Expand
Contract
Subtract
Add or
Multiply!

When I find a Partner
I Will Always Be Its Opposite!

We Shall Not Become Familiar with Animals
AND
We Will Not Biblically-Know The Deceased!

We Will Always Be One + One Living Breathing Jesus Christ-Professing Human Opposite!

One of us Will Bear Children!
One of us Will Cause Children to be Borne/Born!

In Essence, 
We Shall Be AC/DC
And The Current that Almighty God Bestowed Upon us
Will Continue to Flow Through us
And Children will Continue to Grow Out of us
And Humanity will, as a snow ball
Continue to Roll Forth From us
In All Our Generations
Until The Day Of The Lord
When It Will Be Tempestuous Indeed
For Those Who Corrupted The Image of God
With Vain Imaginings
As they Sought to Re-Create Man in Sin's Image
And in Lusts' Luscious Likeness.

God said: "Choose Whom You Will Serve!"

I say: "Speak, Lord! Your Servant Is Listening!"

Thoughts of God's Love ...





I had Me a Think about God's Love - again - and - again - I am Glad that God has The Job and I do not! 

Mankind is unkind
Mankind destroys and then whines
Mankind is ungrateful
And treats God as they would a wild vine!

So, with that being said, let Me ask Us ...

Why?

Why what?

Why does God Omnipotent, God The Omniscient, God The King Omnipresent, Creator of The Universe, i.e, Heaven and Earth, tolerate us?

Why didn't God just destroy Sinful Man and Corrupt Earth - all with Finality - and Create a Brand New Earth from Scratch, and a Brand New Man from The New-Made Earth?

When we Answer these Questions, we will then Understand why We Should Reverence God.

Couldn't God have make a New Earth?
With ease!

Couldn't God have made a New Man?
Certainly, and with Pleasure, I'm sure!

So, why didn't He?
LOVE.

LOVE!?!
LOVE.

God gives us The Clue when He States in His Word ...  




He Says He Can Never FORGET Us!

Another Clue: 



Let US make Man (He already knew who we were) in OUR Image (body appearance) AND Likeness (ready/able to accept immortality; ready to be a being of His Light).

I don't know about you, but I do not want anyone that I do not love to be like (representative of) Me, and I definitely will not have them taking care of my possessions! 

Therefore, by basis of deduction, God MUST LOVE Mankind.

Third Clue ...


Since God is LOVE, and He has Thoughts Concerning Us, it is Obvious that He LOVES US!

Let us consider that BEFORE we were Made, God had The Plan of Redemption in Place!




Does this not suggest that God was making Defective Merchandise?
Not by a long shot!

This is clearly telling us that despite our Anticipated Willfulness, and in spite of The Anticipated Sacrifice of Personal Blood, The Godhead knew us in ... LOVE!

If we look to Lucifer - another Personally Created and Crafted Individual - and his Jealousy-inspired Rebellion, and the subsequent War, and the resultant Expulsion from Heaven, we would see, again, the Answer.

LOVE.

I will venture to say that God said in His Heart: "Let My Love for My Creatures Lead them into My Light," and it is so. 

The Almighty God ALWAYS GIVES US TIME to choose to OR to choose not to be cared for, and guided, by Him.

God's Creatures will either Love Him because of WHO HE IS to them OR Hate Him because of WHO HE REFUSES TO BECOME for them.



God's Love, or The Expansiveness of God's Love, is Unknowable for a Finite Creature.

God's Love REQUIRES Choice on the part of the Creature Receiving that Love.

God's Love contains The Patience Of The Eternal.

God's Love contains God's Measurement in Eternal Time.

God's Love contains God's Blessed Hope 
Which is Measured by God's Faithfulness 
To Constantly Plead with Us Out Of His Love For Us 
UNTIL 
His Measure of Time Convinces Us to 
See, Experience, Understand and Accept 
His Love and His Way 
OR
Because of Sinful, Willful Self, Selfishness and Greed
See, Experience, Deny and Summarily Reject 
His Love and His Way as Contemptible.

In short, God's  Love IS The True Transcript of God's Character which character is showered upon us UNTIL ... The Appointed Time ... which we cannot apprehend.

There is an old expression: 

TIME IS LONGER THAN TIME!

The God Of Love 
who sheds 
The Love of God Abroad
and 
Who Made Time
but 
Who Is Not Constrained By Time 
gives 
The Time-Bound 
Time Not Measured by Man 
but by 
The Eternal God
To See and To Know and To Decide 
To Love God As Lord.


God Made Mankind 
Out Of 
His Love
In 
His Time
For 
His Pleasure!

God's Love contains His Grace
God's Love contains His Mercy
God's Love contains His Justice
God's Love contains His Hand of Provision
God's Love contains His Peace
God's Love contains His Pardon
God's Love contains His Compassion
God's Love contains His Caring, and
God's Love contains His Pathway To Our Perfection.

God's Love is Infinite
God's Love is Free
God's Love is Overflowing
God's Love is Faithful
God's Love is Truth
God's Love is Light.

God's Love Seeks after His Children.
God's Love Seals His Children from Sin and Death.
God's Love Sanctifies His Children unto Himself.
God's Love Saves His Children from That Separating Line.

God's Love Heals
God's Love Helps
God's Love Holds, and
God's Love Hands Us Hope.

God's Love Pleads
God's Love Leads
God's Love Feeds, and
God's Love IS The Steed Which Will Get Us Home.


God Gave Man 
A Free Will
and 
A Personal Choice!


Will You Exercise Your Free Will 
and 
Personal Choice
and
Bless God
and
Return His Love For You? Today?

I Have! Please Join Me!



God's Love is Costly Array
and is
Fashioned 
out of
The Holy God
The Living God
The Eternal God
The God called Man's Savior Friend
and
The God Who Will Succor His People
Until Life's Journey's End!

MARANATHA!

At The End Of It All God's Love Is All!









God's Love IS All ...

So, Please, Drop Satan's Shiny Deception Ball
And
Get Over Adam's Ignominious Fall
And
Recognize That We Sinned -
You and Me and One and All
And
Confess and REPENT
And Accept God's Forgiveness
And
Stand Tall
And
Give To Jesus Christ Your Body and All
And 
Do The Good Works By Faith
And
At The End of It All
When The Last Trumpet Shall Loudly Call
He Will Your New Name Lovingly Call 
Before
Almighty God 
And 
The Angels All!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The One Who Did Our God Deny!

Jesus Christ 
Triumphant King
Holy Lord
God All Glorious
The Overcomer
Speaker of Peace
Destroyer of The Devil and The Devilish

*******************


Dear Stewart pointed out 
In the IDE/IED acronym play that Jesus says:
"I Did Enough!
I Even Died!"

Well, let me tell you of
That Other Side
Of The One who Lied
Of The one who did Our God Deny:




Satan is The Copy Cat!
When it comes to Creation
He can not do that for
His method is to pull things out of a "Big Black Hat!" 

Satan speaks to Being Creative
But all he can do is to Abominate!
He never can Bless but he will Dominate
And his basic ingredient is to Always Humans Hate!

Satan brags each day of his Expressed Prowess
Over man and woman whom he will Oppress
Of woman and man whom he doth possess
Being ever the usual False Witness!

Satan, as usual, must follow behind God
But with The Spin
He, The Lie, doth Deploy
He gives The Plus plus The Minus 
And he achieves "Goal!" with a thrusting of Self-trust!

Satan motivates himself each day
By making men believe that:


Sin ever Pays
That Man is god
That to Do Good is to Need Greed
That Feeling Flesh is Staying Fresh, and
Gotcha is Good Growing Seed!

And when Satan takes himself a Non-break
He strokes his Ego
Before he on another victim let's go!
He looks in his mirror
And repeats the vile mantra he wrote, and
Proceeds valiantly Wicked Seeds to sow:


"It's All About Meeeee!
I Will With Ignoble Deeds Humans Ensnare!
I Will Ex-filtrate Souls Every Day!"


And he sings to himself his glory song:


"I ENSNAAARE with ignoble needs
I will daily The Humans' Greed feed
With Putrid Praise
With Petty Pleas
With Puffup Pastry
And Pesky Deed Fleas
Of Self and Sin
Of Song and Dance
Of Vodka and Gin
Of Smoke and Mirrors
Of Conquerable Skies and
Dark Domains enchained
Of Life unfettered
Without restraints
With me in charge
By lies about Him
I'll weave my Web of Deceit
And I will deny Them to Him!"


Dear Ones:

Please remember these points:


(1)

Seeking Self 
Sets Satan's Seal Securely 
Upon 
Sinner's Souls!

(2)

Saints Solemnly Seek After Their Soul's Salvation!

(3)

Seeking The Savior Seals and Saves From Sin!

(4)

Satan is The Lifelong Liar
He will reap Almighty God's Ire
Don't fall and join him on the Funeral Bier
The Holy God is going to rain down Living Fire!








Prayer: Thank You, Lord



Thank You, Lord
For The Blessings Today!
Thank You, Lord
For Provision in All Ways!
Thank You, Lord
For Saving My Soul!
Thank You, Lord
I Don't Have To Set Dates
For By Jesus' Faith
I Will Have Right To Walk Through
Your Holy City's Bright Gates!
I Love You, Lord!
Amen.

Happy Sabbath + Life's Look Book 'n Prayer






I opened up My Life's Look Book today
I turned a page - I looked away
I turned a page - My heart grew sad
For I saw things ugly, some even bad.

I kept turning pages
I kept looking around
Some things there made my Poor Soul frown
And not long thereafter, I put The Look Book down
And turned away
And started to pray:

Dear Lord, My Father
It's just Me
I feel heart broken 
Please hear my plea!
I come today and
I must repent as
Review today showed things 
Of a youth misspent.
Forgive me, Father
And help me to grow
In the Faith of Jesus
More and more.
I give You Permission
To yank snap Me right back
When Life's Polluting Nibbles
Are in Me on The Attack.
I Give You, Lord
My Will
My Way
As I say to You this Humble Pray.
Rid Me of Self
And Walking in My Own Way
Keep Me Walking Toward Zion
In The Straight and Narrow Holy Way.
I love You, Lord
I don't want to disappoint
Bless Me, Father
Anoint, anoint
This Soul often listing
As The World's thrusts annoy
Lift Me up, raise Me up
Unto Eternal Joy!
Amen.
