HAPPY SABBATH +The Way of Jesus Christ School








Looking for Jesus

IS the Right Thing to do
He has Eternal Life Waiting
To Present to Me and to You!


Longing for Jesus

IS the Right Thing to do
He Left Heaven
'Cause He Longed to Give Heaven to Me and to You!


Living for Jesus

IS The Right Thing to do
He Gave Up His Life
To Save Me and to Save You!


Learning of Jesus
At The Way of Jesus Christ School
Grants Students Great and Special Rights, and
Royalties are Set Aside
For Those who Study The Word by Day and by Night!

There is a Race for Life!
There is The Stay The Course Course
And Election and Perfection and
Pray and Fast Class and
There is Love The Lord to The Last and 
Burdens on Christ Jesus You Cast!

There is Burden for The Soul of The Outcast!
There are Vineyards and Fields Far-flung and Vast!
There is Turmoil and Temptation and 
Baptism By Fire Class
And There is Indwelling By The Holy Spirit
For those who Confession and Repentance Pass!

Jesus Christ Himself
IS The Principle Principle!
He is The Principal
The Pastor
The Lesson for Sure
And The Door
And The Lock Most Secure!

He is The Husbandman
The Shepherd
The Knocker on The Door
He is Seal and The Savior, and
The Boat and The Harbor and
The Sure Sheltered Shore!

Jesus Christ - Himself -  teaches The Way and
Brings Light and 
Holds Out for All The Eternal Life Light!
Jesus Christ - Himself - Demonstrates
How The Faithful Ones Should Fight
And He - Himself - also Demonstrates
How One in The Desert of Temptation should 
The Evil One Fight!

The Way of Jesus Christ School
Admits All Comers to The Light!
Nationality
Previous Spirituality
Not Color nor Speech
Nor Income and Education
Have Any Bearing At All as
Acceptance for Anyone Can't Ever Be Bought!

Each Student by Foreknowledge Father
IS Designated A Way
Wherein They Themselves
Will Work, Walk, and Witness as 
Tuition on The Faithful Pathway!

Some will be Christian: Martyr
Some will be Christian: Missionaries
Some will be Demonstrators of God's Love
Some will have Terrible Deprivations
But All Will Serve By Jesus Christ's Love, Love!

All Students in Holding Jesus' Hand
Will Intimately Know and Have Jesus' Peace
And All Who Daily Deny Self and Will
Will Decidedly Know and Feel Hate Unrelieved!

The Master of Mercy is Himself
The Teacher of Prayer!
He also Teaches Compassion and 
Blessings in Burdens Shared!

Lunch at The School
IS Served by Daily Grace and God's Love and
Strength For The Journey
Provides Courage For The Way Dessert Tubs!

Personal Support is Provided by Companions
Excelling in Strength
Who are Guardians and Protectors
But Not sThinkers on The Fence!
Whether by Cool Waters Running or
Rocky Rugged Roads
Whether Resting or Wrestling
They be There
Guiding
But Never Making You Their Way Go!

Many Students will Die During School Time
Before The Graduation Glory Day
But
All Faithful on Their Personal-End Earth Day
Will Rise Up Before those
Last Men Standing
At Christ Appears To Meet His Bride Happy Day!

BUT ...

Sadly, I Must Tell All Of You Living True
Of Those who Started School and 
Then Suddenly ... Withdrew!
Of Those who Refused to Be Seen with 
Sweet Jesus Christ Dear, and
Those Who Held  Satan as 
Their Lord and God Here!

Those Christ Deniers
Those Christian-Haters and
Persecutors and
Ridiculers Large
Torturers and Murderers
And Scoffers who Assuredly Knew
The Truth ... but
Chose The Lie
Who Will at The Appearing of Jesus Christ
Scream, Blubber and Cry for 
By Their Own Personal Choice
They Are Going To Eternally Die, and
The Remnant of God
Will - Church Triumphant -
To God's Glorious Glory
In Glorious Glory Glide!



God's Gift of Glorious Glory
Is For Those
Who Gladly and Gloriously Glorify God
By
God's Great and Glorious Grace
Under
The Agency of The Quiet Holy Spirit
By
The Risen Righteous and Reigning 
Jesus Christ's Living Holy Faith!

*******


LISTEN for Your Call
NOW Is Your Time-Ball
You May Stumble
You May Fall
It Will Not Be Fatal
IF
YOU ANSWER, ANSWER, ANSWER
Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit
And 
Walk By Faith
As 
TODAY
He You Calls!!

*******

A Living Faith Does Not Trust Dying Eyesight!

A Dying Eye By Faith Trusts He Who Made The Eye!

Further To Turning Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus: KNOWING HIM!


For more years than I care to recall, I have Stated that I am no one's Favorite Child!

I have also long stated that I have no Expectation of an Inheritance from Anyone
And
That the Only Thing that my Grandmother gave to Me was My Faith in Jesus Christ!

I have also made it Abundantly Clear to anyone who will Listen that There is No Human who can Give Another Human...  FAITH!!

A.  I have never seen Jesus BUT I know Him... Intimately. How?

I had a client 30+ years ago,  whom I have never seen,  who became my dearest friend, and who became my son's God-parent.  How?

I gave birth to a child who did not "know" me but who,  as he grew,  no matter how late I got home,  which was very often 7-10 hours AFTER the regular close of business, or how tired he was,  or who else was around to take care of him,  would not rest or sleep,  until I reached home and he could hear, and smell me.  Why?

My son grew, went to preschool.  I started keeping more normal hours and whenever I reached home he was waiting,  all excited,  waiting for something!

I always had something to give him every single day without failure. How did he know? Why the Expectation?

And,  as he grew older, he never asked what did I get him. Why?

Where did The Faith come from?

I have been privileged to hear my son publicly say that I have never lied to him. Why?

I have been blessed to hear my son say that he can trust me to always tell him the Truth. Why?

What is there in the Communion of The Soul and The Savior, and Communication of Trust by Way of Faith through Trust that causes Faith?

What is The Tone Heard or Felt?

What is The Scent Fragranced?

Do we Love through our Noses?

Do we Trust through our Ears? (Faith Comes by Hearing!)

IS Faith on or in The Skin?

Why do Some have Faith and Others don't?

Who do Some Doubt and Others don't?

In My Personal Journey on The Road to Salvation,  I can say,  without fear of Contradiction, I have always felt Safe with Jesus.

I have walked,  often,  in my own Way BUT I have always felt Safer walking and talking with Jesus.

Somehow,  I always knew I had a Safe Haven in The Savior.

Everyday I knew I would receive something.  What? Don't know.  Can't tell.  But... Something!

Sometimes, especially in times of Waywardness and times of Deep Distress,  Lonesomeness and Quietness, and even Happiness I would Feel,  Sense,  even Become Aware of a Warm and Comforting Presence.

I would find myself Suddenly Smiling without External Input.

I would find myself stopping my current activity, and turning my head and Listening.

I have found My Self by Myself Answering ... Aloud ... The Unspoken Heard Question.

I have Chosen to Trust Who I can't See but Who I Know.

Jesus said: "ALL that The Father hath GIVEN to Me WILL COME TO ME...! "




Jesus IS The Rose of Sharon.

Who does not want to nose The Fragrance of The Graceful Rose,  and be Caressed by The Velvet of its Petals?

Who will not brace the Tear of The Rose's Thorns to be The Possessor of The Beauteous Bloom of The Heir... Loom?

Do we not Recognize Truth even when it Comes from an Unknown Source?

Why then, would we not Accept Truth and Love, and Love and Trust The Source of Our Creation who, Assuredly, left His Maker Mark in Every Soul?

Just like every cellphone has a Manufacturer Unlock Code, so do Humans.

There are those of us who, after three or six months of use, call The Phone Company. and request The Unlock Code BECAUSE we wish, at our own Say-so to Go to Another Wireless Service Provider IF The Current Provider does not Meet Our Needs.

Some of us just Want The Code because we can have it and can Jump Ship At Will.

Some of us Don't Care to Change, or Move, or Know how to Move. 

We are SATISFIED WITH JESUS.



Having Been Turned On by The Originator IS Enough.

We will Stay The Distance by Faith.

Does not Jesus say: "My Sheep KNOW My VOICE!?"

Turn Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus!





The Flash was Bright
The Spectacle Light
And that Light
Behind Darkest Dimmers 
Fair to Right Blinded Me!

The Spectacle
That Show
The Purveyors of Sin Heaven Knows
Fair Left Me To Truth Disoriented
As Living Swill to Me 
They Unrelentingly 
Daily Presented!

Pretty, Pretty, Light!!
Those Colors
Strobing 
Stroking Me
In My Dark Night
Instead of Guiding My Footsteps Aright
To My Death and 
Eternal Destruction
Led Me
Stomach Roiling
Steps Wobbling
To The Precipice Drear and
I Know ... Desperation!
I Know ... Fear!

In My Sorrows and
In Fear
In Desperation of Soul
I Will Declare
I Called and
I Called Out:


"IS Anyone ...
IS A Savior ...
Near?!"

"No one could be here!
Oh,  Lord, I'm Alone!
Who will Care for This One
Lost ... and so Very Alone?"


And in My Own Last Strength

Huh?!?

I Heard ... ¿??!¿!

I Heard Me a Quiet Voice:



"Turn Your Eyes Toward My Voice!
Look Upon Me - Even Though You Can't See!
I Have True Light and
I Provide Peace and
I Offer Rest!
I Offer You My Living Place 
So
Look in Faith
Toward The Cleft In The Rock - Follow My Voice!
Hold Out Your Hand!
Don't Look Down!
Don't Look Around!
Reach for Me!
I AM Holding You!
You Can't Fall!
My Grip is Everlasting Sound
Heaven Strong
By Grace - Profound
And FYI, It Is Eternity Long!
Trust Me!
I Can't Let You Drown!"


He'd said: "Turn!"

I Physically Turned My Body and 
Looked ...

He said:  "Look Upon ...!"

I looked Up and 
Locked On!

MY Eyes ...
It is My Decision
To Trust Him
Whom I Can't Physically See, See!
If I don't - I'm Already Dead Anyway!
What He's Saying 
Sounds Like Love To Me!

I Must Say I have
My Death to Lose and
His Life to Gain
IF
IF
IF
I
DO
What He - The Voice
In My Dark Light
Night Blindness
Says!

I Squeezed My Blind Eyes
Tight Shut!

He IS Talking to Me!

I hold My Breath for
I am Listening!

The Lord Must Be Here
In The Depths of This Hell Where I Be
Surrounded by a Light by which I can't See
So
I Reached Out!

The Great Hand - I Feel It
IS Touching 
Holding 
Carrying Me!

I Opened My Eyes!
Lord of Heaven!
It's Indeed Jesus Christ
The Author Finisher of My Little Faith!

I Bless Him and Confess
That 
Without Him 
I'd be a Crumpled, Dead Mess!

I'm Glad I Answered His Call and 
Got Off
The Hell-Spun
Stomach-churning
Head-Spinning 
Soul-darkening 
Disco Ball!






Turning Our Eyes Upon Jesus 
Literally Means 
Turning Our Backs To The World
Taking Our Sight Away from What Is Only At Our Feet
And 
Casting Our Gaze Upon Him Who Lifts Our Heads
And 
Will Carry Us - Bodily - Home To His Glory
And
Hanging On To Him
for
Eternal Life!

*******

Drop The Brassy Ring
and
Hold Out Your Heart
for
Your Gold Crown!

*******

Look Up

and

Depend On Jesus 

and 

YOU WILL LIVE!!

The Mocking Birds Sing!


I heard The Chorus Singing
A Pretty Little Song
And when The Song was finished
I felt my mouth hanging down!

The Song was One Quite Ordinary
No Gymnastics Particular
The Singers - They Floored Me
For they were Peacocks, and Canaries, and a couple Clowns!

Now, I am Sure that you are Aware
That Peacocks Look Pretty and
Canaries Sing Pretty
And when they are in Communion
They are Irresistible to Lustful Human Soul's Ear!


"Sing for Sin Today is Subjective
Sing before The Lord and then Pray
Sing to Lord - He Bought Your Pardon
Sing - for Jesus Christ Your Debt Already Paid!"


I am not going to Belabor You with Why's and Wherefore's
I am not going to Tickle You nor Torment
I am just going to Lay It Straight for You
And Invite You to Offer Your Comment!

The Chorus in The Church was Singing
Pretty Preacher was Pastoring The Flock
The Prophet had been Asked if The Lord has Sent A Message
And The People had had Themselves A Good Shout!

But... It was at The Particular Singing
That The Mocking Birds Outdid The Chorus That Day
And that is when I Gained Clear Focus
On what it is All The Choir Birds Did Really Say:



"Sin for Sin Today is Subjective
Sin before The Lord and then Pray
Sing to The Lord - He Bought Your Pardon
Sin - for Jesus Christ Your Debt Already Paid!"


Come, Lord Jesus!!

The Order Of The Day + Prayer: Comfort Us



Death and Destruction - The Order of The Day!
Chaos and Corruption - The Vaunted Way!
Destabilization Gymnastics - No Matter What They Say
The Innocents Are The Ones Who Usually Pay!

Life is Not a War Game Played by Foolish Boys!
Life is No Tea Party With Silly Girls and Made Up Toys!
Real Life is Real Hard - Relentless and Vindictive
Masterminded by Mayhem - Motivated by Hate
Covering an Unholy Quest for False and Fleeting Joys!

Oh, Lord, The Trafficking is Relentless!!
Oh, Lord, The Cry of Pain - even Death - is Common Heard
The People, Lord, as Merchandise
Bought and Sold on The World's Exchanges
Are Being Robbed of Their Soul's Salvation
By The Dying God of The World
Hell-bent on Gaining An Army of Warriors Against Jesus - by Default!

Father, I'm Pleading for Your People
Whom You Promised to Protect!
You Promised My Master, Jesus
He would not lose One Soul, and
He Promised He will Not One Comer Eject!

Give us Your Grace, Lord
To Daily Make Our Commitment
To Stand Firm in The Lord
Father, Help Us Ever Sin to Reject!


God of All Grace
We Turn to You Our Faces
Lit with Eternal Life's Hope
Soothed by Peace, and
Lubricated by Joy!
Please Carry us By Your Love, and
Comfort us Even As We Pray!
We Accept Your Divine Offer of Mercy!
Father, Please Accept Our Repentance for Sin!
Hear Our Prayer of Faith This Day, and
Protect Us from The Evil One on The Pathway
So that We will not for Our Own Sin
Have to Eternally Pay.
AMEN.

Rejecting Joy For A Toy + Prayer: Father, Forgive Me!






I did not Commit a Sin That Day!
I did something Worse!
I committed a Self, My Friend
Which proved to be much like The Curse!

I did not break any Laws of God
I did not Lie
I did not Cheat
I did not Steal
But what I did that day Revealed
A side of Me I Openly Concealed!

I found out that I Reverence The Living God
Upon My Currently Available Terms!
I allowed That Sotto Voce
To Dictate when how I would Enter in
Sweet Communion with My King.

Well,  you may ask
Why The Big Deal?
Is not God always there?
Oh, yes,  He is!
But that's not The Point!
I have set aside His Special Time
Where I rest in Him
And we Commune - Love and Talk!

Let me try to Explain Better Using a computer game as Analogy:

I had a scheduled appointment with Jesus
My heart and my head were prepared
We got together as determined
No bells, no whistles
No fanfare.

During our normally scheduled appointment
Worldly pursuits and considerations were put away
This Time Is for Recharging The Soul's Batteries
So that Life would not drown me in The Rolling Waves!

In the Midst of our  Appointment
A Bright Button interrupted The Blessed Flow
I Interrupted Pray and Praise with My Jesus
To check how many of My Electronic-Game-Lives 
Time had graciously Restored!

As if that were not Sufficiently Egregious
Checking The Game
Turned into Full Game Play
And even though I could hear The Holy Spirit calling
I Permitted Self's Sotto Voce
To Decide Whom I Diligently Worshiped and
At whose Altar I Fervently Prayed!

I take it back!
What I said earlier
About not having Committed any Sin
Nor broken any Laws!
The First Commandment I did break
Choosing The Game-God
Loving The Fake!

Problem is when Electronic-God took my Electronic-Lives
I Returned to Jesus Christ with Burning Eyes
And He Accepted Me
As I proffered banalities and
Uttered platitudes as if Jesus Christ did not have
All-seeing, All-knowing, Ever-present eyes.

Well, let me tell you The Outcome of That Debacle!
I have never felt more Adrift from God than I did That Day!
I felt like I had Disappointed, Even Lost My Best Friend
And, Believe Me, The Incident Something Precious did Me truly Cost!

I tried to Rationalize My Game-Play
I tried asking Myself
Why such a Big Deal over a "Stupid Game!"
But, try as I might, I couldn't get my Living Spirit to feel Right
For it was as though I had Permitted My Blessing from God to be A "NO Show!"

Dear Ones:

This Real Life Is No Computer Simulation!

There are Real Souls, Real Threats, Real Prizes, Real Deaths and Real Rewards!

The Real Difference between The Real Computer and Your Real Life Is that Real Death without a Real Commitment to The Real Jesus Leaves One without The Real Benefit of The Eternal's Real Life Regeneration Cord, and Award, and Reward!

Anything in Our Lives That causes Our  Eyes To Look Away from Jesus Christ IS Our New God, Compliments of The Fraud!

So, Give it Up, and Look Up!

Call to Jesus - He'll get you off It's Hook, and With Eternal Blessings, He will Fill You Up!

Tell It To Jesus!



God Wrote His Law 

On 

The Tables Of Our Hearts

AND

We Will

ALWAYS KNOW WHEN

We Are Doing Wrong!


*******

Denying A Lie Doesn't Convert It To The Truth!

AND

Don't Play

A Disobedient Jonah's Part

In

Your Own Life's Story!





PRAYER:

Father, Forgive Me
For Ignoring You
Father, Forgive Me
For Creating Presumptuous-Sin Stew
Father, Forgive Me
For Those Days when I Deliberately, Wickedly
Choose to Not Know or Own You
And Help Me to Yield My Sinful Self
Totally Unto You!
I Love You, Lord.
AMEN

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Some People ...







Some people walk a mile in shoes and
Some people can't walk!

Some people cry foul at going to work in the rain and
Some people would die for a fowl, and work, and rain!

Some people give a helping hand and
Some people  just wash their hands!

Some people see with their eyes and
Some people see with their hearts!

Some people have hearts for God and
Some people have Godless hearts!

Some people Try and
Some people are Tried!

Some people love hate and
Some people hate love!

Some people stink and grow rich and
Some people richly grow despite the stink!

AND ...

Some people kill cockroaches while
Some people behave like cockroaches!

NOW, THERE ARE ...

Some people who love Jesus Christ BUT
Jesus Christ loves all people!

Some people who will be killed for Jesus Christ BUT
Jesus Christ was killed for all people!

Some people who will be saved by Jesus Christ BUT
Jesus Christ can save all people!

Some people who will meet Jesus Christ in Peace BUT
Jesus Christ is Peace for all People!

Some people will Trust Jesus Christ and won't personally pay for Sin BUT
Jesus Christ will cause all people who don't Trust Him to Pay for Their Own Sin!

Some people who are expecting Jesus Christ to Return for them in all His Glory BUT
Jesus Christ's Return for some people will be unexpectedly gory!

Some People Act Good
Some People Act Badly, and
Some People Act Every Day
As if Crime and Sinning IS Truly The Way to Play!

BUT ...

There is The Message Which Must be Told!

The Winds of Strife
Are Blowing soon Hot to Bold
And Those without
The Covenant of Peace
Will Suffer Lost when
The Winds be Fully Released 
Plainly Exposing The Dreadful Beast!

Answer! Answer!
Please Don't Delay!
Now is The Accepted Time!
