VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Don't Make Your Guts A Hog Trough!

Don't Make Your Guts A Hog Trough

By Eating The Swill Of The World!

The Lord God Of Grace

Has Prepared For You A Personal Place

With Good Eats On Your Solid Gold Plate:
Don't Let Damnation Be Your Last Date!

The Living Word Is For The Wise
And
Pig Swill Is For Pigs

Those Scavengers Unclean

Who Will Not Fear To Rip You Apart

For They Are That Mean

So Leave Them To The Devils

Who Chose In Them To Reside

And

Get You To The Master In Haste

And

In His Living Word
And
Loving Care 
Safe, Protected, Fed And Led
Confidently Abide!

The Word Works!

There Never Has Been

Nor Will There Ever Be

A Swinish Rebirth

So See To Your Self, Dear One
And

Recognize Your Great Peril
- Should You Be Fond Of The Dying World -

And

Dare To Return Home 
To The Father's Safe And Secure

Well-Provided Safe Fold! 

Dare To Turn Away From

And

Forsake The Disobedient World! 

Tears And Prayers Are Languages

That

The Lord God Of Grace

Understands!

The Words Of The World

Can Do Nothing To Save Us From Self
Nor From Sin And Satan
And
We Would All Do Well To Exercise Faith
And
Dare To Truly Believe That The Good Lord Hears 
And 
Acts Upon 
Our Fervent Prayers Of Faith! 

When We Seek To Understand The Scriptures 
And 
We Discipline Ourselves In The Lord's Sight
Our Prayers Are Heard 
And 
The Lord Comes To Us:
Of Life, He Is The Light! 

Beloved, 

Our Almighty God 
Is 
The God Of Order 
And 
Everything That He Does Is Well Done 
And 
Always On Time! 

Please Understand That Satan And His Satanic Army 
Are Sworn To Destroy Us 
But
Jesus Christ The Savior 
And 
The Holy Heavenly Angels
Because Of 
Christ's Sacrifice On Calvary
Are Dedicated To Ensuring Our Salvation: 
Only One Side Shall Win!
Dare To Take Your Pick As One Of The Lord's Kin! 

I Beseech Us All
To Dare To Feed On Jesus 
And 
Choose To Live To Live With Our Jesus Christ! 

Please Dedicate Your Life
Your Prayers
Your Hopes 
And 
Your Dreams 
To Almighty God And The Kingdom Of The Blessed 
By Your Willing Obedience To The Ways Of Truth! 

Prayer Is A Weapon 
So Feed Your Longing-For-Truth Soul
- Not Your Lustful Sinful Self -
And 
Diligently Choose To Seek The Lord
His Love, His Light 
And 
His Life!

Remember ...

Glory Awaits The Humbly-Obedient
Enduring, Prayerful
Faithful Saints Of God And Christ!
May The Peace Of Almighty God
Be Our Rest Now ... And Forever!

HAPPY SABBATH + Bread 'N Fish Christianity!?! + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Embrace The Holy Way!

... And Then Kevin Unloaded On Her
And Emphatically Called Her A Bread 'N Fish Christian!

Huh!

Is That All That You Are Going To Say!?!

Sure!

Come On, Granny Ma!
You Must Have Something To Say About This Abuse!

Well, Since You Insist
I'll Let My Bible Do The Talking For Me!
Jesus Christ's Word Are Always On Point
And
Then We Will Pray!

Remember ...

The Word Of God Does Not Lie Or Prevaricate!

Beloved,

The Word Of God Always Edifies
Those Who Are Willing To Be Taught
And
Those Who Choose To Learn
And
Desire To Be Led Into The Paths Of Righteousness!

Too Many Of Us Are Only Going After The Lord Christ
Because
We Have Been Told Or Encouraged To Expect That
The Lord Will Prosper Us ... Fatten Us Up
And
Fill Our Empty Treasure Chests!
Dare To Ask The Lord For Something
Which Will Last For Eternity!

Many Of Us Do Not Love The Lord Or His Word
And
Many Of Us Are In The Church Of The Living God
To Get The Hook-Up That Will Make People Look-Up To Us
Because
We Have A Lil' Something In The Bank!

I Do Not Understand This Penchant For Worldly Riches
When The Lord Christ Has Clearly Stated That
We Should Store Up Our Treasure In Heaven
And
Made It Plain That We Shall Walk On Streets Of Gold!
The City Is Pure Gold!

Consider If You Will
What It Will Mean To See Yourself 
And 
All Your Neighbors
Wearing Gold Crowns
And
Holding And Playing On Gold Harps
And
Living In A City With Twelve Foundations
Which Are All Of Precious Stones!

I Am Telling Us All ... Plainly
"Only What We Do For Jesus Christ Shall Last!"
So Please Stop Looking At Jesus 
As Though He Is The Butcher
The Baker
The Banker 
And 
The Builder Of Earthly Mansions Which Shall Surely Burn
When He Shall ... In All His Glory
Come To Take His Faithful People To Their Eternal Home!

Do Not Forget ...

Jesus Christ Has Already Done Everything For Us
So Let Us Be Wise ... Unto Soul Salvation
And
Cease To Hunger After Red Roses And Mortal Man's Royal Riches!

PRAYER:

In Faith, Lord

We Come Bearing Burdens To Offload

And

We Plead With You To Help Us

To Get Our Priorities Straight And In Order!

Please Help Us To Follow The Lord Christ

And Not

Popular Religion That Is Going Into The Dark Night!

Help Us, Dear Father, 

To Love You Because You Loved Us First 

And Not

For The Bread And Fishes

Your Provision By Which We Are Fed! 

Please Help Us To Embrace The Holy Way

The Saving Truth

And

The Guiding Light 

And

To Heed The Leading Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth

- His Guidance And Correction -

Which Will Cause Us Your Heart Ever To Delight! 

Help Us To Embrace The Good Influence

Of 

The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength

Your Messengers And Our Protection

Who Labour To Help Us 

To Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home! 

Please Help Us, Dear Father, 

To Accept And Absorb 

The Living, Holy, Word That

Points, Prepares, Prompts 

And

Draws Us Gently Towards You 

Even As It Steadily Pushes Us Away 

From Self, Sin And Satan! 

Lord, 

We Have Much To Be Grateful For 

And

We Give You Glory, Thanks And Praise

And

Plead For The Outpouring 

And

The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit 

So That We Will Be Obedient

Willing To Work

And

Ever Faithful 

For The Length Of Our Pilgrim Journey

And

Then Forever! 

Please Comfort And Bless Us 

To Follow Truth

Do Good

And

Live According To Your Holy Will

And

In Your Prescribed Way

So That We May Enter Life Eternal

Because

We Believe In And Trust You Wholly! 

We Humbly Ask For These Few Mercies 

In Jesus' Holy Name!

We Love You, Lord!

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN.

AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST: Shine, Shine, Shine!

When We Are Attached To Jesus Christ 

And 

Are Drawing All Our Sustenance, Our Nourishment, From Him Alone

Our Thoughts And Desires

Our Words And Deeds Aka Our Conduct And Character 

Are Changed To Be Like Christ's! 

We Are What We Eat! 

We Get Fleas From Where We Sleep! 
We Are Changed By What, By Whom, We Behold

And

We Emulate What, By Ear, We Devour! 
Everything Leads Us To The Judgment Hour!

We May Say To All Who Will Hear Us That 

We Are Born-Again, Bible-Believing

Spirit-Filled, Faithful-To-Christ

Heaven-Bound Christians 

But

Unless

And 

Until 
Our Outward Showing Reflects Our Inward Changing

It Is All Hot Air! 

We Will Be Just Shooting The Breeze

Speaking Just Because We Still Have Within Us 

The Breath Of God Which Animates Our Jars Of Clay! 

Beloved, 

General Moses Was In God's Presence Forty Days 

And 

When He Returned To His People

They All Positively Knew It: He Shone Gloriously! 

Is Your Life Perfumed With The Grace Of Heaven

Giving A Blessed Hint To All Observers

- Interested Or Bearing Malice -
That You Are Almighty God's Property

And

You Are Heading To Glory!?! 

Can You Say With Exact Clearness That

Your Present Life Is Leading You Unerringly

To The Heavenly Home!?! 

Does The World Really See Jesus Christ's Holy Light 
Shining Out Of Your Private Life 
And 
Your Published Persona!?! 

Will Anyone Say Of You That 

They Know Of A Surety That You Have Been With 

And 

Are Shut In With Our Lord, Christ The King!?! 

Did You Shine For Jesus Today!?! 

Will You Shine For Jesus On The New Day Just Ahead

- Should Life Be Spared - 

And

You Are Granted Another Opportunity

To Do The Good And The Right

And

To Be A Credentialled-By-Faith Ambassador For Christ!?!

We All Have One Opportunity

One Day

One Life

One Hope

One Lord

One God Glorious
And

One Happy, Heavenly, Heavenly Home!
Won't You Please Let Your Light Shine Now

To Draw Some Wanderer Near To The Lord!?!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Dare To Fill A Need:

Shine All Over Your World! 

HEAVENLY ACCOUNTING: You're Gonna Pay For What You Say!

WORDS.SWORD

STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT!

"Talk Is Cheap!" 
"I Don't Pay Taxes On My Mouth!"
"You Can't Tell Me What To Say!" 
And 
"Words Don't Have Any Weight!" 
Are All Lies Of The Devil 
Guaranteed To Get Us All In Serious Trouble 
With Our Maker, God, King And Judge! 

Every Word We Speak 
Is 
Recorded In Heaven
And 
Every Idle, Corrupt, Word We Utter 
We Will Have To Give An Account Of 
Before The Almighty God
Who To Truth And Righteousness
Is Not 
A Noted Fraud!

Unkind, Careless, Words Hurt 
And 
All Of Us Who Take Pleasure In Being Bombastic 
And 
Love To Pompaset Saying 
"I Cut Them Down To Size!" 
Would Do Well To Wheel And Come Again 
With A Different Attitude 
And 
Perspective On What's Truly Important
Good, Right And Beneficial To Self And Others! 

The Tongue Is A Defiler!

The Unchecked Tongue

Is

A Destroyer!

A Lash Hurts ... And Stops
But
A Cutting Word Creates A Sound Chamber 
Where It Resonates Ad Nauseum: 
Don't Do That To Another Human 
Because
The Lord Doesn't Do That To Us 
Who Are Notoriously Rabid Sinners In His Holy Sight! 

Let's Check Our Indignation And Aggression
And 
Choose To Be Kind To Others! 

Speak Peace And Do Love! 
Recording Angels Are In The Room: Think Before You Speak!

Be Humble

Be Meek

Be Mild

Like Jesus Christ The King

The Lord Of Life!

PRAYER: Father, Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need!

 

Heavenly Father, 
We Come In Faith All Doubts Discarded! 

Please Help Us To Remember That 
We Are Your Greatly-Beloved Possession 
By Creation And By Sacrifice
And That We Have Been Purchased From The Last Enemy, Death
With Innocent Blood And Not Silver Or Gold! 

Please Help Us To See And Express Our Need 
For Jesus' Gift Of Salvation 
And, In Mercy
Please Grant To Each Of Us The Strength To Look Up
The Courage To Call Out
And The Opportunity To Confess And Repent Of Our Known Sin 
And Take Our Jesus For Our Everlasting Portion! 

Father, 
Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need
That Is Fit For The Age And Stage Of Our Journey To Hill Zion
And Continue To Bless Us 
With Your Daily Gift Of Faith That Cannot Fail
And Courage For The Journey That We Must Make 
To Reach Eternal Life! 

Please Help Us To Call Sin By Its Rightful Name 
And To Stop Making Concessions To It Or Excuses For It!
We Need Your Help, Lord
As Delivered Unto Us By That Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit That Leads Us Into All Truth!
Please Pity Us And Pour Out Of Your Spirit
For We Are Calling In Hope! 

Remember, Dear Father
The Physically, Mentally, Spiritually
And Emotionally Ill Amongst Us 
And Grant Sufficient Grace 
That Is Known Accessible And Available! 

Please Help Us 
To Be Kind To Ourselves And Each Other
And To Hold On To Our Blessed Hope 
For Our Jesus Is Surely Coming! 

May Our Love For You Grow 
As Your Love For Us Daily Shows Up And Pours Out!
We Love You And We Thank You For The Myriad Blessings
That We Moment By Moment Receive Of Your Holy Hand!

With Grateful Hearts In Known-Blessed Lives
We Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers
And With All Humility
We Ask That You Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
Jesus Christ The King
Your Only Begotten Son
Our Savior, Lord And God!
AMEN.

PRIDE: Wearing The Helmet Of Salvation

They All Attended The Banquet!

They All Were Eating The Fare

And

All Of Them Were Choking

And

It Wasn't A Game Of Truth ... Or Dare!

Pride Was On The Floor!

Pride Was On The Chair!

Pride Was On The Balcony 

And

They All Heard When Humility Declared:

Pride ... Inordinate Pride 

Goes Before The Fall

Which For You All

Is

Now Here Present!

Enjoy What You're Eating Now

For, Soon,

You Shall Surely Have No More Desire 

To Eat Liarman's Dressed Pheasant!

You Have Nothing To Boast About 

Unless Your Boast Is In The Lord Christ

Who Lived And Died

So That You May Die To Sin And Self

And

Renewed

Live Again

Nevermore To Know

What Foolish Pride Is Again! 

Those Who Ride Vehicles 
Which Have No Protective Cages Around Them 
Wear Helmets To Protect Their Heads 
From Traumatic, Even Fatal, Injury
Unless They Refuse To Wear Them
Because
They Are Heaven-Daring ... Presumptuously Bold
And
Too Proud To Be Wise! 

We Are Mortal ...

We Are In A Warfare 
And 
As Fragile Beings 
Coming Up Against A Malevolent Enemy 
Who Is Working Rabidly 
To Secure Our Eternal Destruction
The Lord Jesus Christ Has Paid For 
And 
Provided To All Mankind
His Can't-Fail Helmet Of Salvation!
Don't Be Contrariwise!

Beloved, 

Possessing The Helmet 
Is 
A Good Thing 
But
Believing It Works 
And
Utilizing It For Safety And Security 
Is 
The Perfect Way To Survive 
And 
Prosper In The Fight For Eternal Life!
Save Your Own Life! 

You Are Not Wrestling

With Flesh And Blood!

Let's Be Wise ...

Jesus Christ Can Save Us All 
But 
He Will Only Save Those Of Us 
Who Are Obedient To His Living Word 
Which Calls Us To His Side 
For Protection 
And 
Eternal Security! 

Please Don't Be Prideful 
And 
Decorate Your Helmet With The Badges Of The World! 

Be Humble And Obedient
Trust Your Maker
And 
Enduringly Wear Your Helmet Of Salvation 
Even If It Is Uncomfortable
Spoils Your Public Image
And 
Ruins Your Hair-Do! 

Man-Made Helmets Save Lives Which End Anyhow 
But
The Helmet Of Salvation 
Leads To Christ's Eternal Life Of Which There Is No End! 
Obey The Word ... And Sleep In Your Helmet! 

WHICH ONE WORKS FOR YOU: Pastor Said OR Thus Saith The Lord Of Life!?!

... Our People Need To Wise Up!

Only The Lord Knows 
How Many Millions Of His Purchased Possession
Have Gone Down To Christless Graves 
Because Of 
The Known Lies And Well-Published Deceits Of 
Faithless, Gainsaying
Money-Grubbing Popes, Priests, Pastors And Evangelists 
Who Preach For Personal Profit And Temporal Prestige! 

The Lord ... In His Mercy
Has Made Available To His People His Preserved Word
In The Languages Of The Masses
And Yet 
People Are Being Grossly Led Astray ... Deceived
By Another Jesus And Another Gospel 
Because 
They Accept "Pastor Said!" 
And 
Roundly Reject "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Beloved, 

The Lord Is The God Of Order
Love, Truth, Grace, Mercy, Righteousness
And 
Justice 
For Rich, Poor, Free, Slave, Aka All Mankind! 

When You Know Right 
And 
Reject It To Do Evil
Rest Assured That 
The Same Way God Gives The Promised Blessings
He Will Deliver The Promised Punishments! 

Please Pray For Wisdom And Understanding 
- The Lord Will Give It To You Liberally
And Will Not Upbraid You For Obeying His Call To Ask -
And
To Be Led Into All Truth By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And 
Read Your Bible For Yourself! 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Saves Our Souls From Self, Sin, Satan 
And 
Damnation! 
Place Your Living Trust In Jesus Christ Alone! 

May The Lord Take Our Minds
To A New Place Filled With The Promise Of Life
- His Life -
Where We May Rest With Great Dreams Of
His Living Kingdom And Of New Joys ... Forevermore!

That Is Truly Beautiful ...!

... And A Very Good Note 
Upon Which To Rest Peacefully This Night
In The Watch-Care Of The Great God Of Grace! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Count The Stars!

Whether We Desire To Believe It
Or Choose To Accept It
Into Every Human Life A Little Rain Will Fall!

Brethren,

When We Are Expecting Rain Showers
What Is That Thing That We Do Automatically!?!

Close The Windows!

Get Out The Umbrella, Raincoat And Galoshes!

Pick Up Any Clothing That's Outside On The Line!

In Short, We Get Our Priorities In Order!

So, With That Said

When You Are In Difficulty 

And 

Those Around You Who Have No Intimate Knowledge 

Or Personal Experience Of The Known Goodness Of Almighty God 

Encourage You, Like Job's Wife Did, To Curse God And Die

Please Look Away From Those Agents Of Satan 

And 

Look Up 

And 

Count The Stars ... You Can't 
And 
Remember That Our God Holy Calls Them All By Name

And That 

He Holds This World In The Palm Of His Hand! 

Your Name Is Engraved On Jesus Christ's Holy Hand!
He Knows You Personally

Provides For You Infinitely

And 

Loves You Sacrificially 

And 

Eternally!
Think On Him Constantly!
Call On Him Ad Infinitum! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Good Grace And Great Mercy Are Available 
And 
Free To Me And Thee
So, No Matter The Sorrow
The Horror
The Shock
The Shame
The Problem
The Pain
Let All That Fills Your Hurting Heart
Be The Holy Loving-You Jesus!

Remember ... 

Jesus Christ Feels What We Feel
And

Nothing Can Happen To Any Of Us Unless He Permits It: 

You Do Not Walk Alone When You Trust In The Eternal God! 

Dare To And Boldly Use Your Gift Of Holy Faith Now: 

Hold On To Jesus Christ The Righteous King
And 
Be Eternally Blessed ... Saved Forever! 

Nothing Is Impossible 
To Those Who Believe The Lord Christ 

And 

Trust Him And His Living Word!

AMEN!!!

It's Good To Get A Reminder Of What Should Be Obvious!

You're So Right!
I Sometimes Forget And Attend The Free Pity Party
At Sorry For Me!

I Recently Had A Turn Around Why Me!?! Mall!

We Can Laugh At This Now
But 
We Should Remember That 
We Do Ourselves A Great Disservice 
And 
We Dishonor Our Lord Christ!

Let Us Endeavor ... By God's Grace
And
The Guidance And Leading Of The Holy Spirit
Never To Minimize His Love For Us Ever Again!

Remember, Beloved

Look Up ...!

... And Count The Stars!
