VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: OUTSIDE CEREMONY: Inside Tombs

In The Church Of The Living God

It Is Truly An Amazing Thing
To See The Pomp And Circumstance
Employed In Conducting
The Fast!
Problem Though
It All Leaves The Living God
In The Lurch!

We Worship
AND
Supposedly
Bow Down
Before The Holy God
BUT
Outward Ceremony
Is All That We Show
Displaying Not A Wit
To The World
That We 

In The Grace Of The Redeeming God
Do Daily Grow!

Think Pharisee!
Think Publican
AND
Think
Of Christ Jesus
AND
His Blessed Effect On
The Soul That Trusts
In His Mighty

Unchanging

Unfailing

Hand
AND
Decide
For Yourself
Where In Christ You DO Stand
AND
Ask God For The Outpouring Of His Spirit
So That You
- In This Time Of The End -
May
- By Unshakable Faith -
In The Coming King
Stand!

Do You Humble Your Heart
To God
Or
Are You Filled
With Bitterness

AND

Envy

AND
Indulging In Strife 

AND

Selfishness

AND
Displaying Self-Righteousness
As Your Putrid Birth-Right? 

Are You Holding The Chalice Of Malice?

Has Your Mind Become Calloused?

Is Your Head Bowed
In Pretended Humility
While Your Heart Is Beating
With Gross Covetousness

In An Inflated Chest
Full Of Inordinately High Self-Esteem
AND
Self-Importance
In Ravening Excess?

Is Your Displayed Spirit
Oppressive
Even Exacting
AND
Painful-To-Behold Proud
Performing The Part Of
The Child Of The Devil
Or
Are You Set Apart
- Sanctified-
Knowing Your Need
Justified By Jesus Christ
Pleading With God
To Lift You Up
As You In Godly Fear
Do Not To Heaven Look Up?

Are You Living To Rise Up?

Are You
Am I
Are We
Glorifying Self
Instead Of Patiently Waiting

AND
Working By Faith
For Love Of Our Lord
Or
Are We Rewarding
Awarding
SelfAND
Like-Minded Friends
AND
Puffed Up Pals
With Crystal Vases
AND
Fancy Plaques
Expensive Dinners
Leisure Cruises
Holy Land Tours
AND
Not For A Miaow-Moment
At The Holy Jesus
Looking Back?

Do We Truly Understand

That Only Those Who Glorify

The Lord Christ

Will Be The Ones Glorified 

By Christ The King

AND

To Him

Caught Up?

Are We Christians
True Christ Followers
Or
Are We Members Of The Mixed Multitude
Playing With God
AND
Pleading With The Devil

AND
Rendering The Almighty God As The Fraud
AND
Launching That Damned Devil
As The One Holy
High
AND
Lifted Up
AND
Celebrated
AND
Lauded
As ... The True Eternal Holy God?!
Perish The Thought

For

It Is With Damnation's Eternal Consequences 

Fraught!

There Is No Reason

For Us

To Foolishly Tempt God

And

To Walk In Darkness!

Jesus Christ Is Knocking - He Is The Light!

Open The Door!

Let Him Connect The Current

And

Holy Light Will Flood Your Being

Unto Its Very Core!

IN HIS MAJESTY'S SERVICE: Uniform Shoes

In The Service Of The King
All Willing Workers
In Their Hearts Do Sing
Grateful
To The Holy God
For Dear Deliverance
From Satan
The Decimating Fraud!

A Heart For God
Is A Heart Happy
AND
Truly Grateful For Grace!
It May Seem To Others
To Be Acting Sappy
But
If We Could Look Inside
We Would See That Therein
The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God
Lovingly Abides
AND
We Will Know
That The Heart Is Not Just For Show
BUT
Is A Heart
That In Jesus Christ's Faith Thrives
AND
Does Daily Grow!

Feet Not Shod
For
The Delivering
Of The Gospel Of Peace
Are Feet
Ready Willing And Able
Ever
To Run To Deliver Words Of Deceit
Compliments Of The Cheat!

Which Shoes Are You Wearing?
What Message Are You Declaring?
Are You The Holy God Fearing
Or
Are You The Holy Precepts Jeering?

Almighty God

Is Ever Near To Those

Who Live With

Godly Fear

So ...

Let It Show!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Words!

Harsh And Hasty
Helping
AND
Healing
Are

The Words!

Their Clan
Is Voluble

AND
VociferousAND
Truth Be Told
Without A Pinch
The Clan Does Wax Vicious!
They Often Behave Like Voles!

Be Warned ...

Those Words
Can Wax Poetic
As
When
AND
IF
It Suits Their Purposes!
But ... I Digress!

Even Though They Are Of The Same Clan
Harsh Words
AND
Hasty Words
ARE ALWAYSIn Conflict With
- Of All The Words -
Helping Words
AND
Healing Words!

I Would Never Have
Thought, Eh, Thunk It!

Helping
AND
Healing Are
- In The Whole Clan -
Amongst The Best Words
To Be Found!

These Two Are Out Of The Branch
Of The Family
That Came Out Of 

Grace

AND

Favor

AND
Out Of 

TrueAND
Beautiful Words

AND
Out Of The Grand Dam
Trust N. D. Living Word!

These Are All The Good Words!

If
I Use The Good Words
AND
Say
That I Set The Lord
Always Before Me
I Will Not
- I Cannot -
Mete Out Injustice
To Gain Personal Advantage!

I Must Not
I Cannot
Use Words As Weapons
Or Goads
To Elevate SelfAND

Denigrate A Man
A Human

Being
Doing

Seeing Feeling Knowing
HopingAND
Call Him An Elf

AND

Stick Him On The Forgotten Things

What-Not Shelf!

Many Are The Harsh 

AND

Hasty Words
That Cut A Man's Swallow Pipe!
Many Are The Words
Speaking Strife
Encouraging Man's Participation
In A Dark-Night Fight!

Just Like Music
Words Are Not NeutralAND
Can Cause

Can Create 

The Atmosphere Of
Bliss And Blight
Consternation And Confusion
Anger And Amity

AND
FavorOR
Cause One

To Avidly Indulge 

In To-The-Death Fights!

You Know That That's Not Right!

HarshAND
Hasty Words
Work For
The Destroyer
The Grand Musician
The Lying Fraud
The Instigator Of Blood Feuds
The Roaring Lion
Looking
For Necessary
Undeserved
Food!
We Are In A Cruel Duel!

Helping

AND

Healing Words

Are In The Service

Of The Master

The Teacher

The Healer

The Helper

The Savior

The Friend

The Mediator

The Prince Of Peace

The King Of Love

The Shepherd Of The Sheep

The Lord Of Life

Who Does All Mankind Keep!

People Need The Words Of The Lord!

They Tend Toward Sweet Sleep!

Take The High Road

And

Daily Meet With The Holy God

And

You Will Never Have A Cause

To Be In A Fire-Fight With The Fraud!

**--**--**--**--**

Satan Enjoys Lighting Fires!

Jesus Christ Is The Giver Of The Water Of Life!

Satan Is The Benighted Fraud!

Jesus Christ Is The Holy God!

**--**--**--**--**

Water Extinguishes Fire!

Get On Board With Jesus Christ

And

You Will Always Have A Fire Hose!

Wet Your Soul 

And

Your Clothes!

Thinking Ahead For ... Excuses?!

I Was "Involved"
In A Bitter Altercation
Between
Always-Has-An-Excuse
AND
Searching-The-Mines-Of-Truth!

You Could Call It "Almost Comical"
The Way Ms. Excuse Was Carrying On
AND

Say

That Searching-The-Mines-Of-Truth
Indulged Itself
In Rabid Bad Pay!

You Will Be Forgiven
For Not Understanding

The Acrimony In The Exchange
If You Do Not Know That
Ms. Excuse Is First Cousin
Almost A Twin By Another Mother 

To That Wretch
I'm-A Lie!

Today ...

Ms. Excuse Crossed
Her Own Red Line
AND
Indulged Herself
In A Colorful White Lie!

Hold Up! Hold Up! Hold On!
You Just Lied Yourself!

How So?!

Think, My Brotha ... A Colorful White Lie?!

'Twas No Lie!

'Tis The Truth!

Ms. Excuse Did Not Incline Her Ear To Wisdom
Nor Her Heart To Understanding
But Resorted To Human Instinct
AND
Satan - Rejoicing -
Shouted Out:

"Goal!

I Got Me A New Soul!"

Man, You Need To Explain Yourself!

It Is Like This ...

Wait! What's Your Name?

You Know My Name!

Humor Me!

My Name Is Thinka Head!

I Don't Mean To Be Rude
BUT
Is Your Name Your Nature?

Do You Think Ahead?!

I Always Think Ahead
Because
n This Life

It Is Easy To Mislead
AND
Even Easier To Be Misled!

Okay.
How About You Try This On For Size ...

Search In The Mines Of Truth

And

Pick Up The Gems Of Wisdom

And

Pearls Of Truth Found There!

Stick To The Truth

And

You Will Never, Ever

Have To "Think Ahead"

To Avoid Misleading

Or

Being Misled

Because

By The Loving Master

The Word Of God

Truth Personified

You Are Daily Led

And

Daily Fed!

Sounds Reasonable
BUT
What Has This Got To Do
With The Argument And Ms. Excuse?!

Think, My Friend! THINK!!

Ms. Excuse Got That Name

Because

She Is Known For

Always Having An Excuse

AND

It Should Be Noted That

When You Look For Excuse
You Will Surely Find One
Which Becomes
Two Three And Four
AND
Before You Recognize It
You Have Become Apprenticed To
The Liar Hard Core!

If We Would Determine
To Walk Straight
No Bending
No Lifting
AND
No Contortions By Indulging In Truth-Test
We Will Have
No Excuse To Use Excuses
AND
Our Christ Jesus Will Have No Reason
Us To Rebuke
AND
We Will Have No Sin To Confess!

Making Excuses 

Places Us On The Slippery Slope Of
The Mountain Called Lies!
Which Is Tied To The Devil
The One Who Did God Defy
AND
Against Whom
To God
We Constantly
For Relief
Cry!

Excuses Are As Quicksand
Hidden Under Seemingly Solid Ground
Even Adorned With Growing Things
Even A Lily Or Two
AND THAT
Should
Should Not

Surprise You!

Plants
- Like People -
Grow Where They Are Nurtured
AND
Fed
AND
Quicksand
Is A Bed
For The Unweary
- Now Dead -
Who Stepped Out
- In Self-Confidence -
AND
Walked In Self-Will
Ignoring The Warnings
Cautions

AND
By-Passing Help

AND
Embracing That In Which
Man's Unregenerated Carnal Mind
Thrills!

The Mines Of Truth
Are
The Living Oracles Of God
Wherein Is Hid Treasure
To Be Found Of Those
Who CHOOSE
To Be Called
The Sons And Daughters Of
The Eternal God!

Please ...

Be Aware That All Mankind
Has Some Treasure To Find
The Difference Being
The Hidden Treasures Of Earth
Or
The Hid Treasures Of The Almighty God
Glorious
Eternal
Divine!

Earthen Treasures Called Temporal
Do Not
Cannot
Will Not Survive
The Close Of Time
So
I Put To You, Beloved

Brother
Sister

Friend
To Go
AND

Get
King Eternal's
Treasure-Eternal
Which Is The Only Treasure
That Can
That Will 

Survive
The Saved By Grace
Blessed With Mercy
Enduring Faith
Fashioned In God's Crucible
Man Down
Man Lifted Up
Man Glory Bound
This Ain't No Bedtime Story
Story!

God Gave!

Jesus Saves!

Satan Way-Lays!

Believing Man Prays!

Mind On Coming Glory Stays!

AND

In The Fulness Of Time

The Trumpet Of God Plays

AND

Justified

Sanctified Man

Glorified

Heads

Toward The Everlasting Days

In A Blaze!!

**--**--**--**--**

Forget The Tinged-In-Lie Excuse

AND

Stick To The Truth!

Blessings Await!!

Man Looks But ... God Sees!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
God Looks Upon The Heart!
Man Looks For

Trendy Clothes

In-Tune-With-The-World Speech

AND

Bodacious Bodies Hot And Got

To Lay Out The Opposite Sex At Their Feet

BUT GOD 
Says:

Ignore The Naysayers

And

The Lies That You Have Been Told

For

The Blood Of Jesus

My Beloved Son

- Your Only Savior -

Bought Your Salvation

Which Cannot

For Man's Pittance

Be Bought

Bartered

Nor Sold!

Come In From The Cold

And

Be A Part Of My Fold!

Brethren ...

Man's Indictment 
Against Me
Against You
Via Their Blind-Eye Looking
Is Not Worth
Even A Single Dry Bean!
In Short
They May Have A Pot
But
There Is Nothing Cooking!

No One Can Stop The Telling Of
The Truth
The Old
Ever New 
Gospel - Good News -
Story!

Grace Is A Gift!
Faith Is A Gift!
Forgiveness!
Salvation!
Redemption!
Gift! Gift! Gift!
That All Come From
The Kingdom Of God
The Throne Of Present Grace
The Throne Of Coming Glory
That
No Outward Showing
Of Man
Can Efface!

Call Upon The Lord Christ
AND
The Holy Spirit Will Respond!

Repent Of Sin
In Jesus Name
AND
God The Father
Will Know Your Name!

Bow Your Heart!

Bow Your Head!
Bend Your Knee!
Putting Away Your Sin
- Man's Clothing -
Which Can Only Shame Thee
AND
Trust
Trust In The Promise
That Jesus Christ Alone
Is The One Who Can Truly Save
AND
For Eternity
New-Dress Thee!

Man Will Look
At My
At Your
Outward Appearance
BUT THANKFULLY
Thankfully
The Eternal God
- By Christ Jesus -
Sees
My Beating-For-Him Heart!
Devil, Depart!!

We Have An Anchor!

He Committed Murder Most Foul

And Then

He Committed Suicide

And

The Story Bore The Notation That

"He Was A Good Christian

That Just Snapped!"

When Unbelievers Commit Suicide

People Say That He She Had "A Problem!"

When A Christian-Called

Commits Suicide

We Know For Sure That

The Church Of The Living God

 Has A Really BIG PROBLEM!

In This Day
We Know Of A Surety
That The People Of God
Are Starved For Truth

AND

That Satan 

- Running Wild -
Using Unconverted Preachers
Priests Pastors And Teachers

Is Feeding Them

A Steady Diet Of What Pleases

A To-Self Inclined Sweet Tooth!

Self - Seeking Satisfaction - Looks In!

Saints Of Christ Look Up
AND
Unto Jesus! 

First, Let Us Understand That ...

Death Is Not An Option!
Death
To Mortal Man
Is
A God-Spoken Guarantee
So
I  - And You Should, Too -
Today
Take The Stand
The Position
That Satan's Whispering
Is Not
Out Of My Life
Going To Cheat Me!
Our Best Life Is On The Way
AND
It Is What Jesus Christ Said
That He Will With Us Joyfully Share!

I Shall Live
- In Jesus Christ's Faith -
Enduring All In The Certain Hope
Until My God
The Living Holy God
Calls Me To Rest
Or
He Comes!

By God's Unfailing Grace
AND
His Unfettered Mercy
I Will Not
Hasten My Life Away
Falling Into The Trap Of The Devil
Who Is Building An Army Against God
- By Man's Default To Ease -
By His Wily Fraud!

The King James Bible Says That ...

Murderers Do Not Inherit Heaven!

Self-Murderers Fall Into That Category, Too
For We
Regenerated, Reborn Christians
Having The Savior Of The World
For Our Master
AND
Our Father
Have For Self-harm
Not A Single Excuse!

The Lord Says Call
So
That Must Mean That He Is Indeed Going To Answer!
The Lord Says He Will Answer
So
That Must Mean That He Has
THE ANSWER
That We Need To Receive!

Jesus Christ Says That
He Has Not Given Us
A Spirit Of Fear
But A Strong Mind
AND
He Invites Us
To Come Boldly
To The Throne Of Grace
That We May Find Help
From Him
Who Is Almighty God
Holy Eternal
Prince Of Peace
Wonderful Counsellor
The God Who Knows All
King Glorious
Hallelujah Divine!

All Those Nations
States
Organizations
Associates
AND
Bed Fellows
Who Push Suicide
As The Presentable Option
Suitable
For The Without-Christ Soul
Are
Operating On The Brief Of That Damned Devil
Satan
AND
Are Supposedly
Enjoying The Rewards Of
His Putrifying Gold!

What Can A Man Give
To Redeem His Soul?

Nothing  ... That Is Acceptable To The Holy God
Who Gave The Only Gift Possible
To A Soul
Out Of The Grave To Lift
So  ... I Am Beseeching All
Come To Jesus
For
He Has Room In The Sheltered Fold
AND
Living Water
AND
The Bread Of Life
AND
The Light Of Life
So That All May Plainly See
The Right Way
- In This Life -
In Godly Fear
To Go!

Let No Man Or Spirit Deceive You:

The Option Of Suicide

As A Corrector Of All That Ails

Is A Trojan Horse

A "Gift" Horse

And

A Lie

That Awakens While You

-  Spiritually Bankrupt And Worn-Out -

Attempt To Find Rest

However Fitfully

And

Unleashes Death And Destruction Now

AND

Eternal Damnation Later!

Suicide Is NOT A Cure!

Suicide Is A Curse!

Please ...

Walk With Jesus Christ!
His Yoke Is Easy!
His Burden Light!
He Carries The Faithful
As They Take Up Their Cross Daily
AND
- Striving For The Mastery -
Walk ... From The Dark
Into ... God's Marvellous And Heavenly Light
AND
He Patiently Waits
Pleading
Knocking
Calling
Upon The Unbeliever
To Answer His Call
To Abundant Life!

Jesus Saves From Sin!
Jesus Saves The Soul From Self!
Dump The Cartoon Devil
AND
Get The Words Of Life
Into Your Heart
AND
Off
The Abandoned Book Shelf!

I Will Tell You Truth ...

I Am A Coward

So I Shall Stick With

The Eternal God
Praying Pleading Beseeching
Crying Begging For Help
As I Ought

For
I Have No Desire

To Partake The Lake Of Fire With Satan

That Wicked

AND

Damned
Benighting-The-Soul

Fraud!

Take Your Burden To The Lord!
Give All Your Cares To Jesus
For
He Willingly

Carries All Believers' Loads!

Jesus Christ

Has Got The Whole World In His Hands

So

That Means That He Is Carrying

Me

And

YOU!
