VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: ANXIETY!?!

Do Not Use The Cover Of
Physical Anxiety
To Indulge In Sin!
Your Life Is Not Blessed Thereby
And
You Shall Not Be Permitted To Live
In The Beautiful Land
Beyond The Sky!

Why Are You So Easily Discouraged!?!
Why Are Your Feelings So Easily Hurt!?!
Don't You Understand That In Getting Home To Jesus
We Shall Have Trials
Tribulations
Tests Of Faith!?!

It Is Not A Cake-Walk!
It's A Gauntlet
And
We Must Cooperate With The Holy Spirit
If 
We Are To See The Accomplishment
- By The Holy God Faithful -
Of The Good Work!

We Are Not To Walk Like Unbelievers
Nor Dress As They Do
And
Talk
Of Looking Back
Going Back
Giving Up
Running Away
When We Have The Holy God
And
All Heaven
Rooting For And Working Unstintingly
To Help Us Achieve ... In Flying Colors
The Promised And Great Reward!

Know The Right ...

You Have The Preserved Word: Prayerfully Read It!
You Have The Access Of Prayer: Enter In Without Fear!
You Have The Holy Spirit's Comfort: Rest Easy In Peace!

Pick Up Your Heels!
These Excellent
Excelling In Strength Companions
Will Not Your Side Leave!

And Never Forget ...

You Have Gifts Of
Mercy, Grace And Faith
Each According To The Day That You Will Meet!

Get Up!
Stand Up ... And Be Counted For Christ!
Do Not Let Your Life Be Wasted!
Give Your Anxiety To Jesus!
Do Not In Sorrow Indulge In Vain Sleep!

He Will Give You Calming Peace
Forever To Keep!

Get Thee Hence

Unto

Christ Jesus

Your Daily Rations Reap!

HAPPY SABBATH + RISE UP: Descend Into Prayer! + PRAYER: I Come To You, Dear Father ...!

Repair Unto Prayer
Each And Every Day!
Moment By Moment
Rest Assured
That He Who Made And Sustains You
Does For Your Purchased Soul Care!

Do Not Fret About Your Problems!
Do Not Fret Because Of Your Foes!
Do Not Fret Because By Satan You're Bedevilled!
Almighty God Is In Control!
The Gifts Of Grace And Mercy Are Fully Yours!

Believe And Trust The Lord!
There Is Power In Prayer!
The Prayer Of Faith Will Move Your Mountains
According To His Will
And
Always In His Way!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget:

The Prayer Of Faith
Unselfish, Heartfelt
Is 

Always Answered
Even If The Answer
Is
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Not Yet!"

And, Also

Remember The Journey Of Paul

Saint, Apostle
Champion For The Holy God
Whose Received Answer
To His Heart's Sincere Prayer Was 

"Do Not Ask Again!

My Grace Is Sufficient For You!"

So, Brethren, Beloved
If The Answer Received
Is Not The Answer You Want
Remember That He Who Loves You
Did Not Withdraw From His Only Begotten Son
The Vile
The Bitter Cup!

Jesus Christ Emerged From Hell
Victorious
And
Rose To Heaven
Triumphantly
Leaving Behind For Us Who Trust
Honor
Worship And Obey His Voice
The Perfect Example To Follow!

Read Your Holy Bible And ... Pray!
Pray And Walk Upright
On The Holy Way
And
No Matter What Life Throws In Your Pathway
Live Victoriously In Christ Jesus!
Lift Yourself Up By God's Available Grace!
Always Wholeheartedly Descend Into Prayer
Which Always Rises Up To Him
Who, For You ... Me, Too
Does Sacrificially Care!

Did You Pray The Prayer Of Faith Today!?!

What Are You Waiting For!?!

Go On!

Bless The Lord With A Prayer!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Come Because I Know You Love Me

And Because You Said

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

To Find Help In The Time Of Need!

I Love You, Father

And

We Need Help!

Lives Are Being Taken Like Free Candy!

The Rulers Seem To Be The Young!

The Leaders Are Eating For Drunkenness

And Not For Strength

And

Constant Chaos Is The Beverage Of Choice 

In The Nations All Around!

Love Approved Is Eros!

Agape Love Is Known Vain!

Love Of Money Is Amazingly Bold!

Everybody And His Mother Wants Gold

And

Truth May Be Purchased

On The Stock Brokers' Exchange

And

Money-Men Have Hearts Known Cold!

What Is Right Is Wrong!

What Is Wrong Is Strong!

What Is Weak Is Disposable

And

The Defense Of The Unborn

Is Considered Execrable!

To The Learned, The Enlightened

The Hireling Shepherds Amongst Us

Jesus Christ Is Not The Answer At All

And

Those Amongst That Are The Faithful

Are Being Looked Upon As Incorrigible

And 

The Dominion Of The Damned One

Is Seeking Already

Innocents Lives To Do Away!

Oh, Lord

Please Hear My Cry, My Prayer!

How Long, Dear God 

Before From This Shambles We Will Fly Away!?!

I Know Your Word Is True!

I Know That What You Say You Will Do

You Will Do!

I Know That You Are The On-Time God

And

That You Have Already Sealed The Fate Of 

Satan The Wannabe God!

Father,

Please, As You Have Promised

Correct Us!

Direct Us!

Protect Us Through The Strife

And

Bless Us With All Blessing To Take Hold

- Unbreakable Hold -

On The Purchased Eternal Life!

Father,

We Are Of Mortal Frame, Corruptible

Deceitful Of Heart

And

Our Sin-Nature Is Bold!

Please Help Us, In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

To Remain Sheltered In The Safe Sheep Fold!

Please Help Us Not To Doubt

Not To Lose Faith

Not To Trust Our Eyes! 

Help Us, I Beseech You

Not To Fall For Satan's Bold Lies!

Please Help Us To Think Always On Jesus!

Help Us To Honor Him Gladly

Worship Him Faithfully

And 

With Alacrity

The Still Small Voice To Obey

And

Help Us To Be Fearless, Bold

To Sound The Battle Cry

Alerting All To The Fact That

The Enemy Is Around

And

Within The Camp!

Please Help Us

The Hand Of The Majesty Of Heaven

Wittingly, Wisely

Wantonly To Take Hold!

We Know The King Is Coming!

Oh, That The Church Militant

Would Fulfil The Commission

And

Tear Down The Strongholds Of The Enemy

Who Is Dressed And Speaks As A Friend

When His Sole Desire Is To Destroy Souls

Without Measure

Without End!

Father,

I Have This Hope

As I Walk The Lonesome Road

As I Take The Narrow Path Known Strait:

Jesus Christ Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Jesus Christ Is My One Hope For Glory!

Jesus Christ Is My Only Savior Redeemer King!

Jesus Christ Has Already Won The Battle

And

The War

And

The Proof Of His Victory

Is

His Touchable Marred Head Hands Feet

And His Pierced-Side Scar!

Jesus Christ Is Alive!

I Need You, Father!

We Need You, Blessed God!

Help Us To Stand Firm

Unmoveable

In The Faith Of Christ Jesus!

We Long With You To Forever Abide!

Our Hands Are Extended

Eager To Receive The Promised

Enduring-Saints' Reward

So, Please Come For Us Soon, Dear Father!

We Ask These Few Blessings

In The Great Name

Of

Your Beloved Only Begotten Son

Jesus Christ The King!

AMEN.

I Am Redeemed!

Even In The Midst Of Trials
The Peace Of God
- The Peace Of The Living God -
Makes Even Sorrow A Song!

Well, You May Ask
How Can I Sing
When Hope And My Heart Are Shattered!?!

When Faith Is Trembling!?!

When Courage Is Wandering!?!

I Sing, Dear Friend
Because
To The Cross Of Christ, I Cling
Knowing
That When He Comes Again
With Him ... To Heaven
He Will Be Carrying Me Along!

So, In Child-Like Trust, I Sing A Zion Song!

I Will Not Look Down
At The Shards Of Disappointment!
I Will Not Look In
And 

Dwell On Those Things That Were My Shame!

I Shall Look Up To My King ... Lifted Up
High
In His Glory
And
I Shall Plod On ... In Faith

- Mustard Seed Faith -
Nothing Wavering
Reading The Living Word
Watching
Waiting
Working Out My Own Soul's Salvation
As Told
In The Good News
The Gospel Story!

Happy In Jesus!
Repentant Over Sin!
Glad Over Forgiveness
In Truth Now Walking
Blessed
Abiding
Confiding
Grateful
Free
I Choose To Trust And Obey
And
Hope For Coming Glory
Having Stepped Away From Living 

The Base Life Of The Willful Wicked
And
The Presumptuous Ungodly!

I Sing
Because 

Jesus Christ Saves ... Me!
I Love
Because 

Jesus Christ Loves ... Me!
I Bend Now So As Not To Be Crushed Later
And
I Worship
Because
Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is 

My Judge

My Lord, God, King

My Provider

My Sustainer

My Hope

My Help

And
My Only Savior

And

With His Shed Blood, Innocent

I Am Redeemed!

Behold Your God!

Behold Your God, Brethren!
He Is Gracious And Merciful!
His Coming To Earth Again!
He Is Bringing His Rewards With Him
And
Lest You Forget
His Work Is Before Him:
His Strange Work!

Exactly What Do You Mean By
"His Strange Work!?!"

Who Is Our God!?!

He Is The Life-Giver!

What Is Our God!?!

He's The Jealous God!

What's He Jealous For Or About!?!

He's Jealous For His Name
His Glory Aka His Character
His Worship
His Praise
And
He Will Not Share What Is His With Another!

I Don't See Anything Strange About That!
Where's The Strange Part!?!

He's Coming To Clean House!
He's Going To Fix 

- Glorify, Immortalize And Make Incorruptible -

And
Retrieve
The Wittingly, Willingly, Wisely
Fallen-On-The-Rock And Broken Faithful
And
He Is Going To Destroy
The Proud, Presumptuous
And
Willingly Sinful Ungodly!

He Is Life

And
It Is Not His Will That Anyone Should Be
To The Eternal Kingdom, Lost!

The Work Of Destruction
Is
The Strange Work!

Forget That!
Tell Me Why Would Anyone Choose To Be Lost!?!

Ah, My Young Friend!
You Have Glommed On 

To The Crux Of The Matter: CHOICE!

Everything That Pertains To Soul Salvation
Is

A Choice!
Everything That Pertains To Soul Damnation
Is 

A Choice!

So What About If I Don't Decide To Make A Choice!?!

That's Not Going To Work In Your Favor!

Huh!?! How So!?!

No Choice Is A Choice
Because
If You Do Not Choose Life
- Stating Clearly Your Position For Life -
You Have Made Your Position Clear That
You Do Not Value:

• The Life You Have
• The Life Promised To Believers
• The Life-Giver
• The Promise Purchased With Innocent Blood

What You're Actually Saying Is That
The Lover Of Your Soul
Your Creator, Savior
Your Redeemer, Friend
Does Not Have ... The Power
And
You're Going To "Trust" Your Future
To Whatever Is ... Out There!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Let Me Correct Myself!
We Already Know What Is Out There:

• Eternal Life Or Eternal Death
• Jesus Christ Or Satan
• Blessing Or Cursing
• Truth Or Error
• Light Or Darkness
• Confess And Repent Or Hide And Presume
• The Narrow Way Or The Broad Way
• Trust And Obey Or Distrust And Disobey
• Believe And Live Or Disbelieve And Die
• Hope And Glory Or Doubt And Destruction

Those Are Some Serious Options!

As You Can Clearly See
Everything In This Life
Is
Either-Or!
It Is Never
- Nor Will It Ever Be -

Either, Or, Or Or! 

There Are Only Two Positions! 

You're Either With The Lord And Against Satan
Or
You're With Satan And Against God!

If You Don't Say You Position
You've Made Your Decision!

So That's Why The Bible Says That
We Must Confess That Christ Is Lord!

You Only Confess What You Believe To Be Truth Or True!

If You Can't Or Won't Say It
It's Because You Don't Believe It
And
The Lord Has Nothing For Doubters!

Wow!
There Is No Neutrality In The Kingdom Of God!

You've Got It In One!

You Know ... I Like That!
I Really Like That!
It Tells Me Plainly That
We Can Depend On Our Almighty God!

Indeed!

Strong Position, Unshakeable, Firm
Same Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
He Is The Rock, Never A Worm!

So, Brethren,
How Will You Stand!?!
How Do You Stand!?! 

Will You Look Up To The Lord Christ And Live
Or
Will You Roll With The Changeable Tide
And
On The Broken Barge Delay And Decay
Take The Journey To Destruction
Because
For Your Own Soul's Salvation
You Did Not Care Enough To Choose
Christ's Glory To Share!?!

If You Believe The Word Of God Is True
Preserve Your Integrity
And
Send Your Word To Your God, Holy
As You Stand Up To Be Counted For Jesus Christ The Lord!

There Will Be Precious, Everlasting, Rewards

For The Faithful, Enduring-All Child Of 

The Holy God!

Promises Are Made!?! + PRAYER: Father, Please Grant Us Grace To Stand ...!

Jesus Christ, The Lord
Offers You Present Peace And Daily Provision
And
Pain
- For Pursuing Purity And  Perfection -
But
With The Promise Of Glorification
Surpassing Glory
And
Life Everlasting Sure To Come!

Infinite Are The Blessings Accruing
For Those Who Do Not From Him Run!

Satan

Aka The World And Its Follies
Offer Present Passion
Pleasure
Reasons To Be Proud
Excuses To Have A Personally Authentic Lifestyle
A Personal Truth
And
No Hope For Tomorrow!

You've Never Actually Personally Seen Jesus
But
He Has A Documented History Of
On-Time Performance
And
For Being A Promise-Keeper!

Jesus Christ Never Permits 

Any Of His Children To Walk Alone
Or Suffer Alone

And
He Feels Their Every Pain!

He, For Their Putrid Sin
- By Heavenly Love -
Did Atone!

The World
Actuated By The One Called Satan

Beelzebub The Bold

He Who Is The Wanna-Be God

Is 

Known And Documented
To Elevate His Followers Rapidly
And
At The Height Of Their Prosperity
In The Midst Of Their Fame
He Unceremoniously Cuts Them Off
Tears Them Down
And
Causes Myriads Of Them Their Base Sins
To Drown With Dope And Rope
Guns No Roses!

Satan Takes Perverse Pleasure 

In Hearing Their  Sorrow-Filled
Skin-Crawling
Stomach-Churning Cries!

He Is The One Who Inflicts Their Every Pain
And
Instigates Their Every Shame
But
He Actively Lies
And
Boldly Accuses
Jesus Christ The Righteous King Of Causing
- Maliciously Causing -
All Their Pain And Suffering!

Big Question ...

Given Prophecy

- The Known Facts -
The History-In-Advance Promulgation Of
The Future Of All Things

And
The Specified And Promised Outcomes For Man
With Whom ... In Good Conscience
Would You Choose To Daily Walk!?! 

To Whom Would You Look For The Lasting Reward!?!

With Whom Will You Sign The Life-Outcome Accord!?! 

To Whom Will You Offer Worship As Your God!?!

PRAYER:

Dear Heavenly Father,

You Who Know All And Sees All

You Who Are In Control Of All Things

You Who Are The Holy God Ever-Present

Please Have Mercy On Your People Today

And

Bless Us With The Willingness To Choose

The Good And Right Path

Which, For Us

By Your Personal Sacrifice

You Made Plain For Everyone Of Us!

Help Us To Walk Uprightly

In The Strait And Narrow Way!

Grant Unto Us Clean And Clear Eyesight!

Please Grant Us Grace To Stand In Holy Faith

Trust To Walk In

Peace To Rest In And Live For

Courage, Truth To Uphold

And

The Blessings Of Hope For Tomorrow

And

Willingness To Ever Obey

The Still Small Voice

So That In The Great Day

- With The Lord Christ -

We Shall To Everlasting Life

Wing Our Glorious Way!

Pity Us, Father

And

Bless Us To Appreciate

The Immeasurable Gift

That You Have Given Into Our Hands!

Please Help Us, I Beseech You

For We Ask These Few Petitions

In The Holy Name Of The Beloved Jesus!

We Love You And Bless You, Father!

AMEN.

POTHOLES ... On The High Way Of Truth!

There Are Potholes On The High Way
The High Way Of Truth
And
For Those With The Wherewithal
There Are Preferential Detours
So That Their Cherished Wheels Do Not Come Loose!

On The High Way Of Truth
There Are Travelers Proud And Vain
And 
There Are Also Travellers
Who Humbly, Joyfully, Proclaim 
The Coming Great King's Fame!

What Many Travelers Do Not Realize
Is 
That The Potholes Are There For
Their Own Soul's Preservation
Because
The Drop Into The Pothole
Snaps One Out Of Complacency
Awakens One From Sleep
Causes One To Question Their Idea Of Reality
Rattles One's Teeth Against Temptation
Tears Off The Wheels Of 
The Chariot Going Confidently The Wrong Way
Blows Out The Air Of The Proudly Overfilled Wheel Of 
The One Too Proud To Pray
And
Bends The Chassis Of The One Too Rich To Be Humble
And
Too Arrogant To Pay Attention
To The Small Thing Big Called Truth 
Aka The Lord's Delight
Whether It Is Day Or Night!

Brethren, Beloved
Do Not Despise The Truth!
Do Not Despise The Challenges 
On The Way Of Life
And
Do Not The Call To Salvation Refuse!

Truth Was!
Truth Is!
Truth Always Shall Be
And
All Those Willing And Obedient
To Travel The Way Godly
Shall Have Truth For A Garment
A Shield
A Sword
A Helmet
A Girdle
And
Shoes Indestructible
Good
Assuring Entrance
Into The Eternal City
The New Jerusalem
The City Of God
The City Of Purest Gold!

Keep Truth In Your Inward Parts!

On Truth Take A Strangle Hold!

Speak Truth Always

And

Be Uncompromising!

Be Anchored-In-Christ Bold!

IT'S NOT A GAME: Cooperating With Almighty God

Almighty God
Has A Helping Hand
Upon The Planet Earth!
It, My Friend
Is 
The Hand Of Man ... Working
As Evidenced By Those Who Are Possessors Of
The New Birth Now
And
Shall Be Inheritors Of That That Is Called 
The Eternal Life On The New Earth!

Those Who Work Faithfully
In Cooperation With The Good King
Have Jesus Christ's Righteousness
Aka Right-Doing
Going Before Them
Working In Them
Caring For The Sick
Feeding The Poor
Succoring The Widow And The Orphan
And
They Do Not Consider It To Be A Chore!

The Obvious Outcome Of Partnering
With The Divine Majesty
Is 
Having Him Protecting Our Rear!
He Is Our Rereward
- He Covers Our Back -
And
It Is His Glory
That Shields Us During Satanic
Demonic Attacks!

Christ In Us
Is
Our Hope For Glory!
Let Us Let His Character Be Competently
Completely
Replicated In Us!
Let Us, In Him, Live The Life Of The Just!

The Faithful Few ...

We Are Not Ashamed To Be Called
The Holy Children Of God
And
We Have No Converse
With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness
And, As Such
- For This Against-The-Wise-World Departure -
We Land In The Crosshairs Of The Fraud!

But ... 

Our God ... Almighty
Is
Almighty God
The One To Whom We Give Glory, Laud And Honor
And
He, Being Faithful
Just, Loving, Kind And Ever True
Keeps His Holy Promise
And
Will Honor Our Faithfulness To Him:
That's The Truth!

The Deal ...

Cooperation With The Lord
Is 
A Contract Written In Innocent Red Blood
On A Parchment Of Character Clean, Bright And White
And
You Can Rest Assured That He Who Signs
Your Contract
Will From Your Attaining Unto His Salvation
Never, Never, Ever Turn Back!

It Won't Be Long ...

Be A Good Steward!
Please Bear The Weight Of The Work
As He Bears Your Weight
As He Graciously Carries You
And
Know Of A Surety
- No Doubting ... Nothing Wavering -
He Will Always Take Care Of You!

Spiritual Eyesight ...

The Eyes Of Faith 
Do Not Need Corrective Lenses
The Way To Eternal Life To See!
Let Not The "Yeah!" And "Nay!"
According To Worldly Wisdom Move You!
Let The "YEAH!" And "AMEN!" Of The Holy God
Move You Faithfully All Your Life Long!

Walk Faithfully ... In Perfect Accord

With The Living Holy God!

He Is To Trusted

Because

He Sacrificially Loves Us

And

He's Not The Fraud!
