Ask And Receive!




The Lord God Almighty Gives Good Gifts To Those 
Who Humbly Wait Upon Him Patiently! 
Let Us Enduringly Wait Upon Him To Receive 
The Gift Unimaginable
The Gift With No Sorrow
The Gift That Keeps Giving
The Gift That Blesses Us 
And
Blesses Us To Substantially Bless Others! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Be Like The Excited Child In The Car 
On A Long Journey To Expected Joy 
Asking The Question: 

"Are We There Yet!?!" 
Aka 
"Is My Blessing Ready Yet!?! 
May I Have My Blessing Now!?!" 

... And Let Us Repeat Ad Nauseum: 

"I Need A Blessing Now! 
My God Has A Blessing For Me And How! 
I Will Be Blessed And Saved! 
For Me, Jesus Christ My King Got Up From The Grave! 
I Am Waiting On My Gracious Lord Who Saves! 
Soon, Soon, All Will Be Glory Days! 
I Am Waiting On My Lord Because I Know That He Utterly Saves! 
He Is God Almighty And He Cannot, Ever, My Love Fail 
Because His Heart Is Inclined Toward Me Always!" 

Dear Ones, 

None Of This Is Possible Without Childlike Faith! 

We Diligently Pray: 
"Our Father, Who Art In Heaven!" 

Since Our Father Is In Heaven
Then We Are His Children! 
Will You, Therefore, Release Your Contrary Adult 
And 
Be Cleansed To Be The Loving, Obedient, Child Of God Today!?! 

There Will Be No Impatient, Uncultured, Ungovernable
Discontented, Angry Adults In Heaven! 
Think About It! 

Peace!

"Hate Evil!"



We Have A Direct Command Of Almighty God: 


"Hate Evil!" 

Beloved, 

We Will Hate Evil 
Because 
We Love The Lord! 

We Serve The Creator Who Is The Holy God Known Alive
The Savior Dear
The Good Shepherd
The Forever Friend
The Returning Redeemer
The Kind King
The Incorruptible Judge
Our Blessed Hope! 

Our Lord Jesus Provides For Us Before We Express Our Need! 
He Has A Thousand Ways To Save Us 
Even Though We Need Only One 
And
When We Are Instructed ... Commanded
To Do Something For Our Good
We Always, Always, Always Have A Blessing Of 
Infinite Magnitude Attached! 

We Have The Preserving And Delivering Hand Of 
Our Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omni-Present God Attending Us
Protecting Us
And 
Providing For All Of Our Needs 

And

Our Enduring Faithful Obedience 
Ensures That 
We Will Not Be Overcome By Evil! 

Please Take Note ... 

Satan Aka His Evilness Was Distinctly Told How Far He Could Go 
To Wreak Havok In Job's Life 
So Let Us Correct The Error Which Says That 
Evil-Doers May Do Whatever They Want! 

Evil-Doers  Cannot Do More Than What The Lord Says 
Is 
Permissible! 

Never Forget That 
The Promise Is Given For Our Deliverance
So Shout "Hosanna!" 
Shout "Save Now!" To Our Lord Christ 
Even As You Hate Evil Like You Would Hate Rat Poison! 

Rejoice! 
The Lord Is King! 
Our Deliverance Is On The Wing! 

Stand Strong! 

Peace!

Win At Salvation By Failing At Sin!








Obedience, Trust, And Surrender 
Are Three Of The Hardest Concepts For Us To Wrap Our Minds Around 
And
Put Into Action On A Consistent Basis 
To Make A Real, Visible, Difference In Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

To Obey Our Lord Christ
We Must First Trust Him 
And
In Order To Trust Him And Obey
We Must Surrender Ourselves 
And
Our Sin 
Before 
We Are Willing To Walk In His Holy Way! 

We Often Hear That "Hallelujah!" 
Is 
The Highest Praise! 

Well, Obedience 
Is 
The Highest Form Of Worship! 

We Often Hear That Imitation 
Is 
The Highest Form Of Flattery! 

Well, Living For And Like Jesus Christ 
Is 
Letting The Whole World Know That 
We Are On The Lord's Side 
And That 
We Have Taken Him For Our Everlasting Portion! 
This Is Love ... Not Flattery! 

Be Warned! 

There Is No Everlasting Portion For 
Disobedient, Distrustful
Battling-Against-Truth Sinners! 

Please Do Not Be Fooled 
By The Antics And Rhetoric Of The Worldly-Wise! 

Surrendering Sin And Self To The Savior 
Is Not 
The Sweet Treat For Sappy Saints Seeking Salvation! 

Surrendering To Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Boldest, Most Courageous
Most Beneficial Act Of Winning Warfare That 
Any Of Us Will Ever Perform On This Side Of Glory! 

People Who Think That They Are Important 
May Call You Sottish Aka Foolish: 
Let Them! 

Please Choose To Surrender, Obey
And 
Unerringly, Enduringly Trust The Lord 
And
Be Perfectly Sure That 
You Will Spend The Eternity Of Bliss In The Great Reward 
With Jesus Christ The King! 

The Trusting, Faithful, Obedient, Enduring
Surrendered Saints 
Win At Salvation By Failing At Sin! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Over-Promising Under-Deliverer!



In The Realm Of Business, We Often Hear The Words: 
"Under-Promise And Over-Deliver!" 
Aka Deliver The Unexpected! 

In The Realm Of Deceitful Sin
The Nauseating Word 
Is 
"Over-Promise!" 

How Alluring: You Can Have It All! 
How Deadly: You Can Do It All! 

The Reality Is That 
Nothing Is Ever Delivered 
And 
All That Is Left 
Is 
Destroyed Innocence
Rejected Ideals
Corrupted Taste-Buds
A Ruined Present 

And

No Happy Ever-After 
Because 
Our Cherished And "Sweet" Sin Separates Us From Our Savior 
Which Then Leads To The Second Death! 

Beloved, 

Accept That You Are A Sinner 
But That 
You Don't Have To Sin: 
Run After The Savior! 

Acknowledge Your Sin: 
Call It By Its Birth-Name! 

Recognize That You Need Forgiveness ... And Cleansing: 
Approach The Throne Of Grace Boldly 
And 
Repent To Almighty God In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Roundly Reject Sin: 
Your Sin Is No Match For Your Savior! 

Live By The Word Of God: 
The God Of The Word Gives Life! 

Please Remember That 
Comfort In Sin Makes You A Slave ... A Casualty: 
Don't Give Gifts To Satan! 

Seek The Savior's Hand: 
Settle Your Hand In The Savior's! 

ABU Aka Anger, Bitterness And Unforgiveness 
Is 
Sin 
And 
Sin Is Addictive 
So Please Pray For The Spirit Of Revulsion 
And 
Escape Into The Storehouse Of The Word 
And 
Dig For Hidden Treasure Which Elevates Your Soul! 

Don't Be A Slave: 
Be A Saint! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Bad Choices ... Bad Results!







Bad Choices Equal Bad Results! 

Righteousness 
Is 
Like The Peacefully Cooing Dove 
And
Self-Righteousness 
Is 
Like The Splendidly-Showy Strutting, Screaming Peacock! 
Each Is A Chosen Way Of Life! 

Beloved, 

The Fact Of "Choice" States Clearly That 
You, Me, We Allowed Ourselves To Indulge Thought 
Which Speaks To Our Detailed Analysis Of 
The Pros And The Cons Of A Proposed Action! 

With This In Mind
It Is Clear That Whatever Decision We Thoughtfully Make
Whatever We Choose To Do
The Outcome, Good Or Bad
Cheap Or Expensive 
Or
Life Or Death
Is 
All On Our Own Head! 

Remember Your Creator-Given
Free-Will And Free Choice!

If We Take This Further
We Will Understand That "Choice" 
Is 
Why Not One Of Us 
Will Be Able To Stand Before The Judge Of All Flesh
The Savior Of Every Man
And Say

"I Didn't Know Right From Wrong!" 

Or 

"The Devil, My Brother, Sister, Neighbor
Mother, Father, Friend, Enemy
Made Me Do 'It!'" 

That Boat Ain't Gonna Float! 

We Are Called To Be Wise For Our Own Selves 
So Let Us Understand That 
We Have One Chance To Make The Right Choice 
To Avoid The "Why Me!?!" Consequence Of 
Departing From The Path Of Purity, Truth ... Righteousness! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Let Us Dare Today 
To Do The Deeds To Plant The Seeds Of The Fruit That 
We Really Desire To Eat! 

Choose To Do Right 
And 
Walk Right In Living Light! 

Peace!

We Have The Word Of The God Who Is The Truth!








Ask In Saving Faith 
And 
It Shall Be Given! 

Seek With Enduring Faith 
And 
It Will Be Found! 

Knock On The Door In Child-Like Trust Aka Unfailing Faith 
And 
It Shall Surely Be Opened Unto You! 

Beloved, 

Would You Give Up Promised, Sure And Secure 
But
Presently Unseen Everlasting Riches And The Weight Of Glory Divine 
For Seen And Unsecure, Unprofitable Riches Of Unrighteousness 
Because Of 
Your Unwarranted Envy Of Those Who Are Rich, Rude, Ruthless
Ungovernable
Unafraid Of The Frowning Judge And The Wrath To Come
And 
Unshamed Of Their Ungodly Deeds 
Which Grant Them The Life Of Ease And Excess Because Of Access!?! 

Brethren, Beloved 

We Have The Word Of Him Who Is The Truth 
Who Cannot Lie 
And
Did Not Lie To Save His Own Skin 
But
Told The Truth To Save Our Lives 
And 
Lost His Own! 

We Have A Guarantee, In Blood, Of A Life Of Bliss
Beauty, Benefits, And Brotherhood 
If
We Will Choose To Believe It 
And
Hold The Given Promise In Our Hearts 
As We Hold Our Lord Jesus Christ's Unchanging Hand! 

Think, Dear Ones! 
No Earthly Portion Or Profit Or Peace Is Everlasting! 

When We Choose, By Faith, To Make Jesus Our Choice
Our Life In Time ... Though Often Bitter
Is 
Made Better, Sweeter
Because 
The Best Of Almighty God's Great Gifts To Us 
Is 
Just Up Ahead, Around Bend, And Across The River! 

We, With Patient Faith, Rest In Peace In The Gospel Truth
The Living Truth
So Choose To Trust In
And 
Look Up To Almighty God To Go Up ... To Glory! 

Peace!

MONEY CAN'T BUY SALVATION: Soap And Water Can't Clean Sin!



Money Can Buy A Lot Of Things In This Life
But
It Can't Buy Class
A Conscience
Nor The Lord Christ! 

We Used To Sing A Song In Young People's Meeting 
Which Contained The Words: 

"If Salvation Was A Thing That Money Could Buy
The Rich Would Live But The Poor Would Die!" 

Thankfully, The Living God Is Not Impressed 
With Our Big Bucks
Or Our Intellect
Or Our Accomplishments 
And, Therefore
He Calls All Of Us Sinners 
And
Invites Us All To Come To Him For Cleansing
For Salvation
By His Saving Grace Known Full And Free! 

Big Or Little, Rich Or Poor, Free Or Slave
All Of Us, Everyone
Is 
Free To Approach The Throne Of Grace Humbly 
In Acceptance Of What Cannot Be Bought, Begged, Or Bartered!

Salvation Can't Be Bought: It's Not For Sale!
Salvation Can't Be Begged: It Is A Gift Of Undying Love!
Salvation Can's Be Bartered: We Have Nothing To Barter With!

What A Mighty And Good God We Serve! 

Beloved, 

Neither Dirty Clothing, Dirty Mind, Nor Prior Dirty Intentions 
Exclude Us From Reaching Out 
To Touch That Holy Hand Of Hope Offering Help And Healing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Pride, Dirt, Or Present Shame For Past Events 
To Stop You From Accepting The Free Gift Of Life Everlasting 
In The Presence Of God Eternal! 

Soap And Water Is Able To Wash Away Everything But Sin 
So Get Thee Hence To Him Whose Innocent Blood 
Cleanses Us Of Every Sin Post Haste! 
You Will Not Be Rejected!

Peace!

DIFFERENT MUSCLES: I Hurt, I Hate, I Have, I Give!



I Hurt, I Hate, I Have, And I Give 
All Use Different Muscles! 

Beloved, 

You May Be Hurt
But 
It Doesn't Give You Leave To Hurt Others! 

Because You Have
It Does Give You The Means To Help Others! 

Because You Hate Your Life
It Doesn't Mean You Should Make Others Hate Their Lives! 

Because You Have The Ability To "Give" 
Instead Of Giving Others Hell On Your Altar Of Self-Indulgence
How About Giving Them A Kind Word
And 
Teaching Them To Hate Sin
And
Encouraging Them To Have Hope In Jesus' Finished Work On Calvary
And 
Reminding Them That Continuance In Sin Hurts Our Savior 
And
Crucifies Him Afresh!?! 

As Lovers Of Almighty God And Living Truth
How About Choosing To Always Do What Is Right 
Even At Personal Expense!?! 

We Live In A Society Which Applauds 
Ungodly Displays Of I, Me, Mine, Myself Aka 

"I Hate It When Someone Has What I Don't Have 
And It Hurts Me Not To Be Number One 
So I Must Have A Grudge Against Them 
And Must Give Them Hell 
So That They Will Know That 
Life Is Easier For Them When I Have It All!" 

How Positively Satanic! 

Self-Denial Is An Elevator! 

Our Dear Savior Served Others 
And 
In So Doing He Lifted Up Almighty God 
And 
The Living Kingdom! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Was The Teacher
The Master
The Savior! 

Let Us, Therefore, Accept What He Graciously Taught
Master Our Base Instincts
And 
Allow The Purchased Salvation To Be Perfected In Us!?! 

We Have One Chance Called Life 
To Make Our Eternal Decision: 
Please Don't Waste It On That Rabid Sinner Self! 

Please Raise Your Gaze So That You May Step Up Higher 
To Climb Jacob's Ladder To Everlasting Life! 

Peace!

Of Muzzles And Funnels


Believe It Or Not
Both Muzzles And Funnels Exert Control! 

Muzzles Stop One From Doing Something 
And 
Funnels Specifically Send Something Somewhere Desired! 

Beloved, 

As Committed Christians 
We Must Always Keep Our Wits About Us: 
There Will Be No Fools In Heaven! 

Nobody, No Matter How Connected
Powerful And Intimidating They Are 
Should Be Able To Muzzle You 
As You Speak The Lord's Truth In Righteousness! 

Those Who Tried To Muzzle Apostle Peter Were Plainly Told: 

"We Should Obey God Rather Than Man!" 

Anybody Who Tries To Corral You And Funnel 
Aka Put You In Your Place 
According To The Finite Will Of A Fallen Being 
Should Be Disabused Of That Notion When They Realize That 
We, Repentant Sinners And Saints Of God And Christ
Have Already Taken Up And Are Inhabiting 
And 
Prospering In Our Appointed Place 
As Found In Christ Jesus! 

Are You Afraid!?!

Let It Be That You Fear Aka Hold In Awe The Living God 
Who Is Able To Destroy You Body And Soul In Hell! 

Our Lord Christ Is The Eternal King 
And 
Wherever He, His Word, Is
We, His People, Have Liberty! 

Dare To Be Who You Are Called To Be In Jesus 
And 
Let No Man Or Fallen Angel 
Steal Neither Your Joy Nor Your Crown Of Life! 

Our Bread And Our Water Are Secure In Jesus Christ: 
Be Very Strong And Courageous In Him! 

Peace!

"No!" From Our Almighty God Is A Blessing!



A Proper Parent Does Not Give A Child 
Whatever Their Eyes Or Heart Desires 
Just Because There Is Rage
Tears, Pleading, Or Professed "Need!" 

Our Father In Heaven 
Is 
The Proper Parent Plus 
Because 
He Is Up Above Our Heads Seeing All 
And 
Knowing All Things: 
He Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves! 

Our Heavenly Father Knows Our Motivations 
And
He Knows What Is Best For Us 
And
Whether A Thing Is Profitable To Or For Us Now, Later Or Ever! 

Our Kind And Loving God Almighty 
Does Things Either Suddenly 
Or Eventually 
Or Never 

And

No Matter If He Does Or Doesn't Do Or Give Us A Thing
We Should Praise Him Continually Because Of Love 
And 
Not For Loaves And Fishes 
Aka Miracles Of Obvious Abundance Or Favor! 

Beloved, 

Love Must Of Necessity 
And 
For The Perfection Of Our Character Say 
"No!" "Wait!" Or "Lean On Me!" 
Aka "My Grace Is Sufficient For You!" 
And
We, Knowing That The Lord's Love For Us 
Is 
Sacrificial, Eternal
Should Utter A Patient, Enduring, Love-Returned, Faith-Reposed: 

"I Trust You, Father!
Let Thy Will Be Done!" 

The Father Told Our Lord Jesus, His Only Begotten Son  
"No!" 
When He Was In His Agonies 
Prior To The Cross 
And
That Response Purchased For Us Salvation From Self
Sin, Death, The Grave, And Hell! 

What Is The "No!" From The Lord Saving You From 
Or Buying For You Today!?! 

Are You Grateful!?! 

Let's Yield To The Holy Spirit Today 
And 
Joy In The Fact That We Are Greatly Loved 
And 
Infinitely Blessed! 
Think About It! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Praise God From Whom All Blessing Flow!




Have You, Beloved, Ever Considered 
For Even A Moment ... The Twinkling Of An Eye
That When We Who Are Willing Get To The Heavenly Home That 
We Shall Have Swapped Praying For Praising!?! 

If You Have Considered It
Have You Ever Asked Why!?! 

Heaven Is The Land Of The Blessed
The Land Of Milk And Honey
The Land Where All That The Heart Could Want 
But 
Never Knew That It Existed
All That The Eye Would See But Never Knew To Seek
All That We Could Have Thought Of But Never Knew To Think Of
Is
Provided 
And 
Available Into Eternity! 

Our Life Living With Our Lord Christ Will Abound With: 

"Thank You, Lord! 
Bless You, Lord! 
I Praise You, Lord! 
How Beautiful! 
'Tis Glorious! 
How Amazing!" 

Our Present Vocabulary 
Just Does Not Have The Depth Of Feeling 
To Give Voice To What Will Be! 

In The Realm Of The Flesh
We Pray For What We See As What We Need! 

Beloved, 

What We Really Need To Do Now 
Is 
To Pray With The Power Of Working Faith 
To Go Home With Him Who Is All-Powerful 
So That We May Live A Life Of Praise
Singing Unto Him 
And 
Worshiping Before Him Who Now Provides For Us Until We Die! 

Praise Is For Him Who Raises The Dead 
Who Lived For Him 
To Live Forevermore With Him! 

Let's Tune Our Voices Now To Sing Praises To Almighty God 
For Soon We Will No More Have Any Reasons To Cry In Need! 
Make His Praise Glorious! 

Peace Be Upon You!

HAPPY SABBATH + LOGIC: Since Almighty God Owns Everything ...! + Don't Bite Satan's Fishing Lure!









Since Almighty God Owns Everything
It Must Mean That The Hard Road I'm On Belongs To Him, Too
And Therefore 
It Must Mean As Well That He Owns The Rugged Road That 
You're Walking Upon, Too! True!?! 

Since Almighty God Is All-Knowing
It Must Mean That He Knows Who Is Traversing His Property
And 
That Must Surely Mean, Dear One, That 
For You To Walk Thereon
He Must Surely Have Given You Liberty!

Since Almighty God, All-Knowing
Is Also 
Almighty God All-Seeing
It Must Mean That He Sees Where You Are
Is Aware Of How You Are Faring
And 
Knows Why You Are Present On His Property
So There Is No Need To Worry About 
The Direction Of Your Path On His Road 
Since There Is A Constant Reminder For You To Permit Him 
To Share Your Heavy Load!

Now Lest We For Forget That 
Our Almighty God, All-Seeing, All-Knowing
Is 
Available To You At The Blink Of A Prayer
Take Heart, Dear One
And 
Be Very Aware That He Is Also Ever-Present: 
Reach Out To Him! 
Don't Fear!

And 

Just In Case You're Still Doubting His Love
Remember, Remember, He Feels All That You Feel 
And 
That Is Infinitely Deeper Than 
Putting Your Hand Into Custom-made Gloves!

I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Do Not Twist In The Wind! 

Our God Holy 
Is 
Sovereign, Creator
Healer, Provider
Sustainer, Maintainer 
And 
We May Rest Easy, Obedient, Enduring
Faithfully Following Him Wherever The Road Leads 
Because 
He Is God Almighty 
And 
His Children He Does Ever So Gently Lead!

Please Take Him At His Word! 
Please Walk In His Ways! 
Please Trust His Will For Your Life
And 
Know That At Journey's End
There Will Be At The Appointed Time
Elevation To The Everlasting Day 
Which Shall Never Know The Shadow Of The Dark Night
Nor Ever See A Twilight! 

Please Prepare To Take The To-Life Flight!



Don't Bite Satan's Fishing Lure!





The Condemned And Damned Devil 
And 
His Deceived Henchmen Would Have Us To Believe That 
We Live In This World Alone 
And 
That From Sin We Will Never Be Free! 

The Devil Is The Liar Aka The Father Of Lies 
Aka Our Adversary 

And

The Will To Sin 
Is 
The Condition That Is Completely Curable! 

Jesus Christ Himself Says So
So I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Do Not Into Doubt And Disbelief 
Be Deceptively Lured! 

The Walk Of Faith Is Not Easy 
But
The Gift Of Faith To Walk In 
Is 
Absolutely Free! 

Cry For Freedom:
Our Father Is In Heaven 
And
He Watches Over Me And Thee! 

Lies And Liars Have A Set Limit 
And 
It Is In Our Best And Eternal Interests 
Not To Have Anything To Do With What  
Shall Not In Eternity Have A Part! 

Remember, 

This Earth Is Not Our Home 
And 
We Must Not Permit Things Which Will Not Lift Us Up 
And 
Lubricate Our Journey Home 
To Retard Our Progress! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Hold The Things Of This Life With A Light Touch 
By Trusting The Infallible Word Of The Eternal God! 

All Of Almighty God's Gifts Are Good 
And 
Grant Grace 
And
Propel Us To Glory! 

Be Wise: 
Keep Your Eyes On The Prize 
Aka Heaven At The Last Trumpet! 

We Are Nearing Home 
And
Walking In And With The Truth 
Will Give Us The Victory To Safely Get Us There! 
Walk Wisely! 

Peace!
