VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + The First Condition Of Deliverance

 

Obedience To God Almighty 

Is 

The First Condition Of Deliverance! 

Human Effort Combined With Divine Power 

Produces The Needed Result! 

No Human Effort, No Divine Power! 

The Lord Will Not Do For Any One Of Us 

What He Has ... In His Wisdom

Given To Us The Power To Do For Ourselves 

... And ... 

Truth Be Told

Whether We Want To Hear It Or Accept It Or Not

Is 

That Almighty God 

In The Person Of Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ The King 

Ain't Our Ride Or Die

Our Homeboy

Or 'My Dog!' 

Let Us Respect The Power, The Position

And 

The Purity Of Our High Priest 

And 

Recognize How Puny We Are 

And 

How Putridly Perilous Is Our Present Plight 

... And ... 

Give The Great And Glorious God Unfeigned Praise 

And 

Proper Prayers 

Aka Prayers From Your Own Perch

Your Own Known Place Of Need And Perplexity 

And 

Not From Base Greed And Non-Sensical Gumption! 

Obey The Lord Of Life And Live! 

Peace!

Artificial Intelligence Relevance!?!

Artificial Intelligence, Acquired Ignorance

Is 

Costumed Presumptuous Sin Aka One Of Satan's Choicest Weapons 

In His Lost-Cause War Against Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Does Not One's Name Speak To One's Character!?! 

In This Age Of Irreverent Relevance

Let Us Look At The Seated In The Living Room Elephants: 

Please Stop Reinventing Your Morals And Ideals 

To Become One Of The Common Good We Are In This Together Pack 

Because 

Satan The Damned Will Have Your Guts For Garters Aka A Tasty Snack! 

Almighty God Is True 

And 

His Will Is Sovereign 

And 

His Ways Are Good And Perfect! 

Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 

Every Man Is A Liar: 

His Will Is Wayward 

And 

His Ways Are Toward Evil Continually! 

Dear Ones, 

What Has Man Done For You!?! 

What Is Man Doing For You!?! 

What Will Man Do For You!?! 

What Is Man's Can't Lose "Opportunity" For You 

Going To Cost You Now, Today, Or Tomorrow 

If 

You Remain Alive To Talk About It!?! 

Will Our Righteous Redeemer 

And 

Forever Faithful Friend 

Regard It Aka Bless It!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Truth Sets Us Free! 

Obedience Pays! 

Endurance For Christ Delivers The Reward! 

May The Living Word Of The Eternal God Be 

And 

Remain Relevant And Necessary In Your Life 

As You Look Forward To 

The Regeneration To Immortality And Incorruptibility: 

It's Personal! 

Our Recreator Is He Who Was Our Creator 

Aka He Who Makes All Things Perfect, And Beautiful, In His Time! 

There Is No Upgrade 

From Perfection Through Jesus Christ Our Lord ... The Life-Giver! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 

Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 

Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 

Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm

And 

It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 

To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 

He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family

And 

It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 

Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 

He Is A Blessing 

When In Truth And In Fact 

He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 

From The Cradle To The Grave 

And 

We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe

Makes Things Stronger

Look Whiter, Brighter

Taste Better

And 

Last Longer! 

Think, People

And 

Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 

And 

Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 

And 

Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 

Sin And Darkness And Death 

And 

Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 

As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 

To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 

Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 

Lord Jesus,

We Repent! 

GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace

To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 

That Is The Word Of Truth 

Neither Adding Nor Subtracting

To Be Attractive To Those 

Whom You Cannot Approve! 

GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 

Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 

He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH

BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

HAPPY SABBATH + Connectivity Is Key To Relationship!

Relationship Is Key! 

Connectivity Is Key In All Relationships! 

We Have Joints, Muscles, Bones, And Organs

And 

Our Biggest Organ Is Our Skin Which Keeps Everything Held Together 

In What We Shall Here Call A House 

Which Should Be A Home Of Happiness! 

Would You "Unzip" Your Skin 

And 

Let Your Insides Outside 

And 

Still Call Yourself An Intact You

Holy Wholly Undefiled!?! 

Beloved, 

What Is Your Relationship With Our Loving Lord Jesus!?! 

How Is Your Connection With Our Savior Dear!?! 

Are Your Joined With Him In Communion!?! 

Are Your Muscles In His Word Strong ... And Strengthening!?! 

Are Your Bones Holding You Up Straight, And True To Him

As The Enemy Of Souls, Satan The Forever Damned

Is Maliciously - Though Leashed - Cruelly, Buffeting You!?! 

Are Your Organs Optimally Operating

Open To The Holy Spirit's Optimization!?! 

Is Your Heart For Christ Heavenward!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Not Be Unfaithful So That The Breath Of Life Departs Us 

And 

Our Blood Which Keeps Us Alive 

Is 

Become The Blood Of A Dead Man! 

Jesus Christ Is Life 

Abundant Life

 And

Incorruptible Life

And

Living For, With, In, And Through Christ 

Is 

The Relationship Which Connects Us To Life Everlasting! 

Heaven's Cleaning Service

Operated By The Holy Spirit

And 

"Manned" By The Holy Angels

Is 

24/7 Open For Your Business: 

Use It Today! 

Peace!

 HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS

AND

BOUNTIES! 

Folly Ain't Fun: Think On Jesus Christ Who Ever Thinks Of You!

Dead In Sin And Trespasses! 

Too Proud To Change!?! 

What A State Of Affairs! 

You Can't Help Yourself 

But 

You Are Making Sure To Keep The One Who Can Out Of Fix-Me Range! 

Did You Know That A Dove Is Called Silly 

Because 

It Sometimes Flies Without A Cause!?! 

Did You Know That Sinners Don't Know Where They Are Going 

But 

Proudly State That They Are Going There In Style!?! 

Consider That You, And Me Too, Were Once In Hard Bondage In Egypt 

Where Denying Knowledge Of The Holy God 

And 

The Practice Of Idol-Worship Were Considered Big Doings 

And 

The Lord God Almighty Brought You Out By The Power Of His Might 

And 

Called You His People 

And

When You Were Established, Strong And Fat And Happy

You Adopted The Vile Habits Of Your Neighbors 

Which Habits The Lord Condemned! 

When Certain Of Your Wicked And Idolatrous Neighbors 

Sought To Make War With You

Would You Ignore Your Own Known-Holy Loving Faithful God 

And 

Seek "Help" From Your Former Slave-Master, Egypt

Instead Of Swallowing Your Pride

Admitting Your Error

And 

Acknowledging Your Shame

Stop Your Useless Silly-Dove Flights Of Fancy Or Fantasy Flights 

And

With A Broken, Contrite Heart

Humble Yourself And Pray

Confessing And Repenting Of Your Known And Bold Sin!?! 

Beloved, 

Folly Ain't Fun! 

What Tastes Good In The Mouth 

And 

Pleasurably Slides Down The Throat 

Can Be Silk In And Brambles Out

Oil In And Jagged Rocks Out! 

How About Choosing To Give Your Sin And Your Satan To The Savior 

So That Your Only Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord 

May Secure You With His Salvation!?! 

Let Us Choose To Lose Our Useless Pride 

And 

In The Lord Of Life Confide And Abide! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Delight Yourself In The Jesus Christ The Lord !

Lack Of Reverence For Almighty God 

Is 

A Thing With The Worldly-Wise! 

However, As Committed Christians Walking Faithfully And Enduringly 

On The Good King's Plainly Marked Highway

We Should Sincerely Know 

The Best-Held Rules Of The Way Home: 

Do Not Look Into Almighty God's Business With Scornful Eyes! 

Do Not Touch The Word Of God With Presumptuous Hands! 

Do Not Hear The Word Of God With Disbelieving Ears! 

And

Do Not Speak The Name Of God With A Disrespectful Tongue! 

Almighty God Is Holy: 

Fallen Man, Sinful, Is Not! 

We Often Hear The Expression:

"Speech Belongs To God 

And Respect Is Due To A Dog!"

  

Disrespect A Dog And You Will Feel His Wrath: 

A Dog's Year Are Few! 

Almighty God, The Eternal God

Is 

Our Creator, Maintainer,  Sustainer

Savior, Redeemer, Judge, And King: 

Shouldn't We Respect Him Who Can Move Mountains

Make The Sun To Stand Still

And 

Hold The Earth In His Hand 

And Yet 

Live In Our Puny Hearts When Invited!?! 

Presumption Is A Deadly Sin: 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Almighty 

Who Reigns And Rules In Zion 

The Beautiful City Of God! 

Beloved, 

With Humility And Awe At His Glory And Power

And 

For His Grace Upon Us

Delight Yourself In The Jesus Christ The Lord 

Who Is Soon To Come Again 

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Let Holy Spirit Rise In You!

 

When Our Blessed Jesus Was Soon To Depart This Earth

He Promised To Send Another Comforter, The Holy Spirit

Whose Person Is Represented By A Dove, Water, Oil, And Fire! 

Beloved, 

The Dove ... The Peace Dove

Points Us To Home! 

Water Is Life 

And 

Where Water Is

We Make Our Home! 

In Our Home

We Being The Salt Of The Earth Take Of 

The Lord's Good Wheat Harvest 

And 

Grind It Into Fine Flour 

To Which We Add Water Of Life 

And 

The Oil Of Gladness 

And 

Make Our Choice Bread 

To Satisfy Our Hunger And Bless Ourselves! 

A Secondary Oil Is Used 

To Power Our Stoves, Ovens, Furnaces 

To Bake Our Bread! 

But

With All Of This Preparation

Without The Fire Of God Which Comes Down From Heaven

We Will Never Have Heat To Bake Our Bread 

Or Warm Our Homes, Our Bodies 

And 

Power Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Think! 

Was It For Nothing That 

Our Lord Jesus Sent And Gave Unto Us His Holy Spirit

His Vicar - Never A Man 

To Be Our Only Comforter!?! 

The Holy Spirit Is Present In Every Facet Of Our Lives 

And 

Is With Each Of Us By Invitation! 

He Is Here For All Mankind 

But 

Lives Within Us, In Intimate Relation

At Our Personal Invitation! 

Would You Quench

Put Out Of Your Life

That Sweet Spirit  Who Is Our Safety, Security, And Salvation

By And Through Whom We Live And Breathe

And 

Have Our Very Being

The One Who Leads, Blesses, Corrects, Comforts

And 

Carries Us In Sickness And In Health

Through Trial And Tribulation

War And Peace

Sorrow And Joy!?! 

The Holy Spirit Is God Almighty: 

Where Is Your Faith

Where Is My Faith

Where Is Our Faith In Our God Today!?! 

Please Despise The Ways Of The Worldly-Wise 

And 

Quench Not The Holy Spirit Of God 

Who Gives Us Jesus' Peace! 

Let The Spirit Of The Lord Rise Up Within You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Word Of God Means What It Says!

Mean, Mean, Means, Meaning! 

Mean Was Unkind! 

Mean Told What He Meant 

As In What He Wanted People To Understand That He Had Said! 

Means Had Money To Spend And To Spare 

But 

Like Life, Didn't Do Too Well When It Came Time To Share! 

You Could Ask Meaning About Mean, Mean, And Means

And 

He Could Give You The Studied Word 

Worthwhile To Be Heard! 

Meaning Made Everything Plain 

But 

That Did Not Mean That You Had To Accept What Was Said

And 

That, Dear Ones, Is The Rub! 

We Have The Holy Bible Which Interprets Itself! 

Then, Oh, The Horror Of It All

We Have Ten "Wise" Men 

Who Give Eleven Meanings 

To Almighty God's Inflexible, Infallible, Immutable Word! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Correct Our Errors

And

Unwaveringly Trust The Word Of 

The Word That Works Wonders! 

Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King, Is The Word: 

He Can't Change! 

Shouldn't You!?! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Flame Out Or Rust Out!

Look At Life! 

Flame Up Flamed Out 

And 

Then There Appeared Rust Out And Burn Out! 

There's A Thing! 

You See, Flame-Up Was A Blow-Hard 

And 

An Obnoxious Bottom-Feeder 

Who Knew Everything About Anything And Everybody

And 

He Kept Lists And Posited Himself To Be A God! 

Let's Call Him Gaudy! 

He Was Like That Big Fat Fluffy-Belly 

Supposedly All-Knowing Holiday-Season Elf 

With The Santa-Satan Appellation 

Who Can Hold No Candle For Nor To The Divine One

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

And

That Is Why He Spectacularly Did The Flame Out Thing! 

Now, As For Rust-Out

He Had Had A Good Thing Going With The Master-Maker 

Until He Began To Imbibe What He Should Have Anointed Himself With! 

Man-Word O' Praise Went Straight To His Head 

And 

He Began To Believe His Own Self-Paid Advertising Campaign 

Which Consisted Of Pure Hype From The Accuser Of The Brethren! 

Rust Out's Eyes Fixed

His Joints Seized

And 

His Heart Atrophied

And 

His Work For Christ Came To A Grinding

Rusty-Sounding

Ain't Good For Nothing Halt! 

Beloved, 

Know The Truth! 

Pride Is Poor For Patience 

And

Putrid To Peace With The Prince Of Peace

The King Of Love! 

There's A Better Way! 

Dear Ones, 

I Present To You Burn Out

That Stalwart Of The Holy Faith Who Loves His God 

And 

Does Everything By Grace Through Faith 

To Bless His Lord With His Ready And Willing, Able Service 

And 

Not Fuh Nuh Waterproof Sea-Meat 

Aka Fish Aka Feeling I Should Help ... For Personal Profit! 

Burn-Outs Hurt Like H E Two-Sticks 

But

Oh, The Joy Everlasting 

When The Day Of Regeneration Shall Finally Come! 

I Beseech Us All To Please Let The Lord Of Life Alone 

Love, Lift, And Laud You! 

The Lord Is Faithful: 

Humble Yourself! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Christian Code-Switchers!?!

Who Would Have Thought That 

There Would Be Known Practicing Christians 

Who Indulge In Code-Switching!?! 

Huh!?! 

They Are Christians With Their Christian Friends And Associates 

And 

Rabid Sinners With Their Willfully Sinning Friends, You Know, To Fit In! 

Huh!?! 

Yup! 

You Heard It Right! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father

Why, Why, Why Would We Feel The Need To Be Switch-Hitters!?! 

Do We Not Remember The Statement Of Truth Which Says That 

A Friend Of The World Is The Enemy Of Almighty God!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Do You Know, Accept, Understand, And Act 

According To Your Calling In Christ Jesus!?! 

If You Are, Don't You Believe That Constancy And Consistency

Faithfulness

And 

Enduring All Things For Our Lord Christ 

Should See You Standing Firm And Deep In The Savior's Love 

No Matter In Whose Company You Should Find Yourself!?! 

Brethren, 

Please Know That There Is No Fence Riding

No Fence Riders

No A Lil' Bit O' This

And 

A Scrumptious Helping O' That 

In The Kingdom Of The Forever Blessed! 

With Jesus Christ The King

You're Either With Him Or Against Him! 

How Are You Standing In And With The Forever Blessed One!?! 

Are You Permitting Him To Hold Your Hand 

To Lead You Gently Safely Home!?! 

The Lord Jesus Is The Light That Leads To Everlasting Life! 

He's Everything To And For Us: 

Think On And Pray About It! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Real Peace Is Free!

To What Are You Daily Inclined!?! 

We All Have Choices To Make And A Chance

An Opportunity To Make The Right Choice

The Choice Which Will Not Crucify Our Blessed Jesus Afresh! 

What Would You Do 

If You Had To Choose Between Momentary Pleasure 

And 

Perpetual Aka Everlasting Peace!?! 

Actually, There Is No "If" 

Because 

This Is The Decision That We, Each

Must Make Now, Today

As Members Of The Laodicean Church Age! 

Laodicea Means The Judging Of The People 

So We Are In The Judgment Hour 

Which Means All Decisions Are Final! 

Beloved, 

Is Denying That You Are Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind, And Naked 

Worth More To You 

- To Get A Foul, Fleeting, Fleeing Sensation - 

Than Making And Taking Hold Of The Covenant Of Peace 

With Our Creator God, Savior, Judge, And Redeemer 

Who Gives Us Peace Beyond Human Understanding!?! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All The Good Pleasure Of 

Having Jesus Christ's Perfect Peace Today And Forever! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Light ... And Salvation!

 

Is The Lord Jesus Light That Leads To Salvation 

Or Salvation That Is Light!?! 

Is It Because He Is Light And Salvation That 

We Can Emphatically Say That Jesus Christ The Lord

The Light Of The World

The Creator-God

Our Redeemer-Friend, Our Refuge

The Shepherd Of Our Rest

Him Through Whom We Live And Breathe And Have Our Being

And 

The Joy Of Living

Is 

The Strength Of Our Life!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Not A Man That He Should Lie 

Because 

He Is The Word Of God

The Truth

God Made Flesh Who Dwelt Among Us

And 

Is Even Now With Us Through The Presence Of The Comforter

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

The Holy Spirit Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have No Need To Fear What Fallen Man 

Or The Damned Devil Can Do 

Or Promises To Do To Us Or With Us! 

Jesus Christ The King Has The Answer 

And 

Is The Answer To All Aka Every Last Thing That Concerns Us 

As We Inhabit This Earthly Tabernacle 

Which Is Even Now Being Dissolved! 

Please Hold To The Blessed Lord's Unchanging

Always Sufficient 

Ever Able Everlasting Arms 

Which Cannot Falter While Executing A Mission For Our Salvation

- Nor At All -

Nor Fail At Finishing That Which He Has Started In Our Lives! 

The Great Day Is Coming: 

Please Keep The Holy Faith 

And

Keep Your Eyes On Our Lord Jesus! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + The Prize Fight!

 

Everybody And Anybody That Thought Themselves 

Somebody Now ... Or Somebody Rising

Was There! 

Stand Against Wrong Was Up Against 

Always Do Right! 

Semantics Was The Big MC! 

The Plebes And The Non-Entities Were Far Back

Waiting, Watching, Wondering What The Big Deal Was About! 

The Professed And Practicing Christians Were Praying 

Because 

They Knew That Standing Against Wrong And Always Do Right 

Are Husband And Wife 

In The Sight Of The Holy God 

And 

That Means That They Are One Flesh ... Inseparable! 

The Nominal Christians Were Salivating

Desiring A Knock-Out Blow 

But 

Would Settle For A No-Decision Decision 

After A Bruising Dust-Up Between SAW And ADR! 

The Fight Hadn't Even Started 

But 

You Could Already Smell Blood In The Air! 

Lord, 

Be Merciful To Us Sinners Known Saved

Only By Your Unfailing Grace! 

Beloved, 

Think On The Lord Jesus

Follow Where He Walked Doing As He Did

And 

Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Now To The Business At Hand! 

It Is Only When Itching Ears Engage 

And/Or Purchase The Services Of Hireling Aka Under-Shepherds 

Who Commit To Telling The People What They Want To Hear

How And When They Want To Hear It

That We See Stand Against Wrong And Always Do Right 

Become Oppositional

Adversaries Of Truth

Enemies Of Good And Almighty God! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Are A Child Of The Great King

Stand Against Wrong And Always Do Right

- In Your Life In Christ -

Will Hold Hands In The Ring Built By The Devil 

And 

Walk Companionably, Unfazed

In The Savior's Light That Leads To His Eternal Life! 

Please Prayerfully Think On This Matter 

And

Firmly Close This Case With A 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Peace!
