VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Savoring Satan

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are One!
One Person
One Ideal
One Fact
One Foe
No Good Fillip
No Good Gold!

Self
AND
Self-Adulation
Self- Gratification
AND
Self-Aggrandisement
Are
The Lost Soul's Sole Goal!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Are Strung Out
On
Self Dope!
Self-Made Rope!

I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself
Speak
To Self
About Self
For Self
Because Of Self
Identifying Self
AND
Creates Its Own Savor
AND 
Is Its Own Savior!

How Ridiculous!
What's Wrong With Saying
I
 Me
   My
     Mine
        Myself?

Nothing ... By Itself!
BUT
When Every Single Solitary
Syllable Of Speech
Stems
Starts
AND
Spreads Out
Like A Line-Dried White Sheet
Then ... THEN
Is When You Know
That Self
Is Savoring Satan
Imbibing His Delusions
His Wine
His Willfulness
Forgetting That There Is The Eternal God
Seeking

To Save A Soul Lost

Who Is Walking Wild 

AND

Blind
AND
At Fearful Cost!

Oh.

Give Self To The Savior

AND

Satan Can't You Sway!

Give Self To Satan

AND

You Are On A Hellbound Cruise

Called

Own-Sin Pay-day!

That's Awful Harsh! 

So Was The Savior's Sacrifice!

Oh.

How Erudite You Are! Not!!

I'm Sorry!

It's Just That

All The Years

Everybody Said:

"Lift Up Your Self

For

Self-Made Always Gets Fed!"

It Seemed Sooo ... Simple

But How You Put It

It Is Just ... Saaaad!

Self Without A Savior 

Is

The Self ... Sacrificed

On The Altar Of Ambition

With Greed As The Steed

Pride As The Nose-Ring Lead

AND

Satan Aggressively Stimulating

Your "Felt" Need!

Anything

That We Can Do Without

Is Not A Need!

What We Need
Really Need
Is The Savior!

And ...

The Savior Says

Seek First

The Kingdom Of God

AND

His Righteous

AND

All Good Things 

Will Be Added On

To Me 
AND
To You!

Well ...

Since You Put It Like That

I Will Acknowledge

That I Am Self Centered ...! 

And ... 

I Shall Say That

If You Acknowledge

That You Are By Self

Cornered

AND

Appeal To Jesus

For Relief

He Can Do A Good Thing

In AND For

You!
Salvation In Him Is Achieved
AND
Satan Can You Any Long Deceive!

I Like That!

You've Got Yourself A Deal!

God Be With You!

Blessings Await!

Satan Is The Liar!

Leave Him

To His Just Fate!

Ignore His Sly Titillate

AND
His Tried
Tired Tittivate

AND

You Will Gain The Right

By Trusting
AND
Obeying
Our Lord Jesus

To Enter The Heavenly City

Through

The Protected Gate! 

NOTE TO FILE: God Is All!

Knowing Pain ... In This Life

Is Inevitable

BUT

Accepting Misery ... Into Your Life

Is Optional!

The Great Themes Of The Bible
Are
Love Faith 

Belief Honor 

Trust Obedience
Worship Sacrifice
Grace Mercy

Judgment Salvation 

Stewardship 

Redemption Elevation
Friendship Kinship
Confession
Repentance Restoration
Jesus Christ - The Open Door
Holiness Unto God
Satan Is The Fraud
Temptation Is Not A Sin
Yielding Is What Get's You Done In!

A Man Without God
Is 

A Man Without Hope
Who Is
Relying Upon His Own Ingenuity
With The World
AND
Satan To Cope!
That's Reckless!

What We Are Not Permitted To Have
Are The Very Things
Satan Beguilingly Extends Toward Us
Sure
AND
Confident
That He Has A Nibbler On The Line! 

Satan's Sworn Task 

Is
To Make Sure
That God's Glory Does Not Shine!

Misery Likes ... Company
Even If
It's An Enemy Or Two!
AND
Satan
- Misery Personified -
Cares Not
How His Rolls Are Made Up
As Long As They Contain
The Beloved Children
That Jesus Christ Died To Save
More Than One Or Two

Even Me Or You!

The Plan Is Diabolical!
The Execution Is Devious!

AND
The Executor Is Damned!

Distrust
Disbelief
Disobedience
Disgrace
Dishonor
Real Shame In The Face!
Idolatry
Self-ServiceAND
Denial Of Christ The Lord
Make A Day Of Work
To Satan
Something About Which He Will Say 

He Is Justifiably Proud!

Justification As A Descriptor 

For Satanic Work 

Is Straight Up Satanic

For

There Is No Justification For Evil

No Matter How Hard The Evil One Works!

We Have The Promise
That
Those Who Live Godly Lives
Will Know Persecutions!
We Also Have The Promise
Of Relief And Release
From The Holy Son Of Man!

On This Word

We Can All - Upright - Stand!

Jesus Loves You
MeAND
All MenAND
He Went To The Cruel Cross
Every Last One Of Us To Defend!
We All Receive Equal Defence!

Our Souls 

Are Worth More Than Gold And RubiesAND
It Is A Price That No Human
Or Devil Agent Can Afford AND
If We
- By And In Faith -
Live Godly Lives
Waiting On The Promises Received
We Shall Go Home
To Live With The Lord Christ
Where There Is No More Night
Or
Any Desire To Leave!
We Must To Jesus Cleave!

Stand Up For Jesus!
Stand Up For Our Holy God!
Stand Up For JesusAND
Sin
Can't Tie You With Its Benighting Cords!

Trust God AND ... Obey
Today AND... Every DayAND
At The Appointed Time
The Cause Of Your SinAND
My Sin
- Satan -
Will
- Like The Atonement Day Scapegoat -
For All Our Sin
Have To Pay!

Satan "Ate" Our LunchAND
He Will Find Out
That It Was Not For Free!

Jesus Christ Provides Us With Supper!

NOTE TO FILE:

Stay Away

From Satan

By

Standing Up

For Jesus Christ The Lord!

Jesus Christ Is The Savior God!

Satan Is The God-Fraud!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER : Father, Draw Me Nearer!

Oh, Thou Who Hearest Prayer

I Acknowledge That Indeed

I Am Flesh - Weak

Daily Dying

Constantly Grieved

Often Crying

And

Come Before Thee

As One Humbled

In The Light Of Your Sacrificial Love

Thankful For Your Grace

Which - To Me -

Is Unmerited Favor

Praising You

For The Gift Of The Faith Of My Jesus

Bowing Before Your Free Mercy

Rejoicing In Your Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Claiming The Promises That Are Eternally True

Glorying In

And

Glorifying The Coming King

Resting In The Comfort

Correction

And

Teaching

Of The Holy Spirit

Walking The Narrow Way

Free

In The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Blessing The Eternal God

Who Is Jealous For My Love

And Saying

I Love You, Lord!

Help Me, Father

To Ever To Lift Up My Voice In Praise

And

Bow My Head In Worship

And

May In Ever Be So

For I Desire To Attain The Right

To Walk Through Heaven's Gate

Beckoned By Him

Who Is The Door!

Lord,

I Desire Cleansed Eyesight

Ordered By Your Oversight!

I Desire To Be Led

And

Sheltered

And

Protected

By Him 

-The Good Shepherd -

Who Gently Leads

The Little Flock

And

Who Carries The Young Ones In His Bosom!

I Desire, Lord

To Rest

In Peace

In The Bright Mansions

In Zion

And 

To Walk

- Unmolested -

On Streets Of Gold

In The Protected Fold!

I Desire To Drink Of The Water

Of The River Of Life

Knowing

That Never Again

Will My Life Know Man's Striving

Nor

The Devil's Strife!

Lord, Please Haste The Day!

Oh, Father

I Desire To Eternally Abide

In That Rest

Under Everlasting Arms

Sheltered With The Blessed

Some Of Whom Will Have Championed The Faith 

With The Martyr's Sacrifice

All 

Having Their Known-Sin Confessed!

Keep Us, Lord, Until The Day!

Father, 

You Are Able

To Prepare A Seat For Me

At Your Welcome Table

And I

- Believing That Your Promise

Can Never Be A Fable -

Ask You To Fix My Heart To Yours

With Christ's Shed-Blood Cable!

I Am Yours, Lord!

Father,

I Beseech You To Draw Me Nearer

And

Help Me To See You More Clearly

And

Hold Your Love To Me More Dearly

For

I Am Eager For The Great Day

When Home Is Where

I Am Forever Living

With You!

In That Name

The Worthy Name

- Jesus Christ The Righteous - 

I Stand And Plead

For

I Have No Other God But Thee!

AMEN.

Two Minds Looking For One Shoe?!

Every Family
Has Sheep And Goats
AND
Every Family
Has A Black Sheep
AND
A Wild Goat!
The Family Called Mind
Has Many!

It Is Like This ...

Mindful And Mindless MarriedAND
They Had Themselves The Thing Called Progeny!
These Were ... Interesting
For The Minds Suffered From
OR
Were Afflicted By ... Inbreeding!

There Was No New Blood

AND
They Just Had The Same Old Thoughts
Performed The Same Old Actions
Indulged In The Same Old Attractions

AND
Revelled In The Same Old Reactions
Which Were All Done
In The Same Factions
Which All Seemed To Be In Traction!

Those Minds All Suffered 

- An Awful Lot -

From That There Disease
That Is Called Inaction!
They Were  All Afraid
To Make The Final Transaction!

Anyway ... Long Story Short

As Life Would Have It
New Blood Entered The FoldAND
You Must Be Told That
The New Blood Was OldAND
Yet New

AND

People Were No Longer To Life

Indifferent

AND

Cold!

Consternation Was In The Clan CampAND
Many Minds Were SeenAND
Heard
SINGING
- With Despair -
In Short Pants!
It Was A Sight To Behold!

Some Sang A High Descant!

The Cause Of The Consternation ...

Conformed Mind 

Married
Transformed Mind
Who Had A Grown Child
- From Another Marriage -
Called Renewed Mind

AND

Battle Lines Were Drawn
Because
Finite Mind Was Vexed
- Blue Vex -
With Tiny Mind
Who Had Eaten His Cheese
Even Sharing It With
Resolute Mind
- The Change Agent
Of Lord God Divine -
Renewed Mind's Father!

You See

Renewed Mind Could Not Keep A Secret!

Well, After That ...

Things Went Nuclear!

Listen To The Talk Of A New Mind:

People, People!
I Bring To You
A True Story That Says
God Renews
Naughty-Hearted Minds
Wrong-Minded Minds
Old Wives-Tale Minds

Wasted Mind
Minds Askew
Minds Split
Minds Hard Like Bricks

Minds Given To Tricks!

I Tell You
The Story Of The Gospel
The Good News
That Says
To Get Rid Of Sin
Let Jesus Christ
- For You -
Give Satan Real LicksAND
You
- Free Of The Fiend -
Shall Walk Straight To

AND

For God ... Faithfully!
No More Fickle-Mind Tickles
No More Mindless Tricks!

The Point ... Please?!

A Man Halting
Between Two Minds
Is A Man
Caught
Between A RockAND
A Hard Place
Where Satan Is Quite Pleased
To See Him Remain
Because
This Shows
That That Man's Religion Is Vain!

Let This Mind Be In You:

Christ In You

IS
The Hope

- Your Hope -

 Of Glory
Starting What He Will Finish

AND
Finishing What He Has Started!
So, Please
Be Not As One
Close Minded Or Hard Hearted

For

- By So Being -
At The Time Of The ComingAND

The Arising
You Will Not Be Among
The Dear
But Among
The Discarded!

If Satan Is God Serve Satan 

BUT

If The Living God Is The Lord ... Serve The Living God

With Godly Fear

In A Contrite Heart's Humility!

Trust God... And Go!

But Why Do I Always
Have To Be The One To Go?!
Because I Want You To Go!

I'm So Tired!
Why Can't Sadie Go?
Sadie Never Walks Straight!

What About Bonnie!
Bonnie Is Never On Time!

Denis Could Go!
Denis Is Not Here!

But I ...!

As The Story Goes ...

This Used To Be Cry Heard
Often
In The Old Days!
One Person
Was Always Being Sent To Do The Errands
Whilst The Others
Always
Had A Way Of Escape!

Our Father God
Sent His Beloved One
Who Now In Turn Says ...

I Am A Sending You!
Go In Faith
And
Do The Work!
I Will Equip You
And
I Have Healing Balm For Your Hurts!

Do Not Look At Who Is Not Working!
Do Not  Look At Those Who Work Short Shrift!
Do Not Look At Those
Who Refuse To Take Up A Load
Just Go Where I Send You!
I, Jesus Send You
And With You 
I Will Go!

By Faith
With Love
Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!
The Day Of Accounts
- Reconciliation Day -
Will Show All
That Was Hidden Away!

My Instructions Are Clear:

There Will Be Foes To Alarm

AndThere Will Be Frets In The Night

But See That You:

• Walk In The Light
• Do Right
• Deliver The Message
• Giving The Trumpet That Certain Sound

• Don't Stray From The Way
• Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Me

• Don't Follow The Runaway Herd!

Take My Peace!
Receive My Rest
And
Sabbath With Your Savior
And
Your Soul Will Be Blessed!

• Think Not Your Own Thoughts
• Speak Not Your Own Words

Be The Child
Trained Up By Me
Speaking My Words
And
Walk Humbly
Dressed In My Garb
Showing That By My Character
You Are Thereby Enrobed!

Lift Up Your Cross Daily!
There Is Grace To Help Daily!
Pray Daily
Constantly
Instantly
And
You Will Have Have Faith
For The Day
Daily!

Remember That ...

Protection Is Yours
Not Always Promised For The Body
But 
Always Promised For The Faithful One's Soul!
Remember John The Baptist!
Remember The Apostle Paul!
Remember Me, Jesus!
And
Remember The Law Giver
My General Moses!
Saint's - Dead Or Alive -
Bodily
Will Be Raised Glorified
Immortalized
But
The Unrepentant Sinner
- Body And Soul -
Lost
Will Be Burnt
By My Consuming Fire!

So, Beloved ...

Trust My Call To You
And
Where I Send You ...GO!
And
With Enduring Faith
You Will With Me
To Eternity
Go!

In My Father's House
There IS A Place Prepared Just For You!
