VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rest In The Lord!

Wise! 

Unwise! 

Who Will You Be!?! 

Will You Be Among The Blessed And Saved

Or The Damned ... Those Souls Ungodly!?! 

KJV Psalms 115

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

Going To Man For Help Instead Of Almighty God 

Is 

Like Chewing And Choking On Dry Chalk 

When You Could, Instead, Be Eating Cherries And Cheese: 

There Is No Profit In It! 

The Lord Whom We Hold In Godly Fear, In Awe

To Whom We Choose To Approach By Working, Unwavering, Faith 

Distinguishes Himself From All Pretenders 

By Being Able, Willing, Ready And Available To Help Us 

When We Need Help ... Which Is Every Moment Of Every Day

No Matter The Situation 

And 

He Is Able To Shield Us ... If It Is His Will ... From The Situation! 

The Lord, Mighty To Save

Will Bring You To A Situation For The Saving Of Your Soul 

And 

By Your Exercise Of Faith In Him

He Will Carry You Through Your Night Of Despair 

To Emerge At The Dawning Of The Light Of The Perfect Day! 

Our Job One, Beloved

Is 

To Fear God

Trust His Word

Ask For And Depend On His Holy Hand Of Certain And Present Help

And

Shelter Under 

And 

Stand Behind The Shield That Faith Built, Builds

And 

Is Ever Building! 

Please Remember This ... 

Goliath The Boastful Giant Had Man-Made, Giant-Sized, Metal Armor 

But 

Psalmist-Shepherd David Had Holy Faith

Righteous Zeal

And 

God-Made Smooth Stones! 

Working Faith Paid Off: 

Goliath Died! 

Please Rest In The Word 

And

Trust The Lord Always ... And Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Casting Call!?!

KJV Isaiah 65:24

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Wide Broadway Had Long Time Past

Has Recently Been

And 

Is All Now Issuing A Call For Principal Players And Extras 

For Their Spectacular, Their Extravaganza

And 

The Turnout  Is Nothing Short Of A Blowout! 

Everybody Vertical And Ventilating With Visions Of Arriving Is There! 

I Was Tempted, Sorely Tempted

And 

Had At One Point In My Life Joined The Snaking Queue 

To Get My Equity Card! 

One Day, One Of My Bad Days, As I Was Still Waiting 

And 

Being Ensnared By The Stories Of Those Who Had Already Made It 

I Started To Zone Out With A Feeling Of Why Bother 

When I Reached The Cross-Road For Off-Broadway! 

It Was There That I Saw A Simply Dressed Soul 

And 

Heard His Soft Voice Calling 

For Those Who Desired To Be Kings And Priests To The Most High God

For Those Who Would Be Pillars In The House Of Almighty God

For Those Who Desired Peace And Rest For Their Weary Souls

And 

For Those Who Would Prefer To Be Door-Men In The House Of God 

Than To Dwell In The Tents Of Wickedness! 

He Wasn't Finished! 

He Went On To Make The Call 

For Those Who Were Weary And Troubled

For Those Who Desired To Be Saints Of God And Christ

For Those Who Would Sound The Battle Cry For Life

And 

For Those Who Would Be Part Of The Flock Of Sheep 

Who Would Safely Graze Under The Watchful Eye Of 

The Good Shepherd! 

There Was No Waiting

No Call-Backs

No Business Managers

No Publicists

No Vultures

No Casting Couches

No Brunches

No After-Parties

And 

Hallelujah, Jesus

No Users Or Abusers! 

I Walked To Him! 

That Man At The Entrance Of The Narrow Road Off Broadway 

Called Strait 

Smelled Clean

Embodied Light

Told Truth

And 

Gave Me Something Called Grace And Mercy 

From The Welcome Table Sponsored By Love 

Accompanied By The Comforter! 

I Walked Into Love

Cooperated With The Comforter

And 

Knew Peace Who Gave Me The Gift Called Faith 

And 

Promised Me A New Supply Every Day From That Day On 

And 

As Long As I Lived And Had My Being! 

I Was, I Am Amazed ... I Had To Tell You About It! 

Dear One, 

We All Have Great Expections 

But ... And

It Is A Rare Thing For Reality To Meet Expectations! 

I Have Come To Realize That 

I Do Not Desire To Be A Second Class

Even Last Class Citizen 

In The Liar's Third Rate Melodrama! 

I Choose To Have And Be With Peace 

Because 

He Is Love And Loves Me ... Sacrificially! 

The Liar Wants To Sacrifice Me 

But 

My Free-Will Decision Is Clear ... Is Made! 

I Choose My Lord Jesus And Him Glorified! 

Please Join Me! 

Peace!

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Who Guides Your -Ship!?!

KJV Ephesians 5:15-16

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

-Ships Abound! 

What Kind Of -Ship Is Yours!?! 

We Can Be Like Jesus And To Accomplish This

We Are Each Offered A Lifetime Apprenticeship 

In The Righteousness School Of King Jesus Aka The King Of Love

Where The Teacher, Not Professor Nor Educator

Is 

The Holy Spirit Of God 

Who Leads The Diligent Apprentices Into All Truth! 

Beloved, 

Interestingly Enough And Sadly

There Is The Malevolent Spirit Running Amok 

Who Is Also Offering Free Apprenticeships 

To His About-Me School 

Where Advanced Placement GS&P Classes 

Are The Hot Ticket! 

Strangely Enough

There Is Not A Step Up To A Brighter Day Celebration 

For Any Of The Thousands Of Years That 

The Malevolent Spirit's About-Me School Has Been In Existence! 

On The Other Hand, Dear Ones

What Is Amazingly Beautiful About The King Of Love's School Of Righteousness 

Is 

That It Has A Parallel -Ship Class 

For All Of Those Students In Its Apprenticeship Program Of Education! 

It Is Called Friendship 

And 

It Gives All Apprentices Direct Anytime Access To 

The Creator-Owner

Founder-Operator

Sustainer-Maintainer Of The School 

Where Grace And Mercy 

And 

Justice And Peace Are Its Hallmarks! 

The Apprentices Remaining Therein To The Program's Completion 

Are Eternally Blessed! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Understand That To Be Forewarned 

Is 

To Be Forearmed 

So Please Make A Note-Well Warning 

In Your Need To Know File! 

The King Of Love 

Is 

Your, My, Our Forever Friend! 

The Malevolent Spirit 

Is 

The Now-Present Fiend 

And 

His Advanced Placement GSP Classes 

Are For Intensive Tutoring In Greed, Selfishness And Pride 

Which Gives Its Apprentices A Hot Ticket To Hell 

On The Day That The Judge Of All Flesh Appoints! 

The Malevolent Spirit Has Already Been Found Wanting 

And 

Has Been Judged And Condemned! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Be Purposeful And Intentional In Your Grace-Filled Walk And Work 

For The Judge, Prince Immanuel, The King Of Love: 

He Equips All Of His Apprentices With Faith For Today ... Every Day! 

Be Wise! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Trust The Process!?!

KJV 2 Peter 1:4

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

It Was An Art Tutorial On How To Draw 

A Rather Complex-Looking Pine Cone!

The Tutor Said That It Was Going To Be Hard To Do 

AND THEN Said: 

"It Isn't So Much That It Is Going To Be Hard 

But That You Are Going To Have To Trust The Process!" 

The Words Stopped Me Dead In My Tracks 

And 

I Heard Myself Saying: 

"But THAT Is How It Is With The Lord! 

We Have To Trust That He Will Do What He Says He Will Do

Believing That He Is The Promise-Keeping God!" 

Beloved, 

Has The Devil, Your "Friends," Your Sure-Foes

And 

The Worldly-Wise Pleasure-Loving Hoardes 

Who Are The Enemies Of Truth, Right-Living

Humility

And 

Reformation By Grace Through Faith 

Got You Believing That Your Case Is Hopeless

That Your Efforts Are Futile

That Jesus Christ Doesn't Want Dirty Sinners 

But Desires Clean Saints One Of Whom You Are Not!?! 

I've Got News For You: 

"All The Clean Saints Were Once Dirty Sinners! 

They, By Faith, Chose To Trust The Lord At His Word

Answered His Call To Life

Confessed And Repented Of Their Known Sin

Accepted Almighty God's Forgiveness

Went Down Into The Watery Grave Of Baptism

And Rose Up To Walk In The Newness Of Life!" 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

See!?! 

Process Followed: 

Progress Attained! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Listen To The Lamb That Forever Lives 

And Not To The Damned Liar Headed For The Lake Of Fire! 

All That Our Blessed Jesus Said That He Will Do

He Will Do ... For You! 

Believe The Wise Word

Trust The Process As Promised

And 

Always Choose To Obey The Lord!

Jesus Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Secure Attachment!

KJV Ephesians 5:31

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Safe, Seen, Soothed, And Secure! 

These Four S's Of Marriage Aka Secure Attachment 

Are Or Should Be Of Intense Interest And Careful Study 

To All Committed Christians! 

Beloved, 

Did Not Jesus Call The Church His Bride 

And

Are We Not Espoused To Him As Our One Husband!?! 

We Are Safe In The Arms Of Jesus! 

We Are The Apple Of His Eye

And 

He Is The All-Seeing God! 

We Have As Our Comforter 

The Holy Spirit As A Gift From Our Savior 

Who Promises Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us 

And

We Are Ever Welcome To Approach The Throne Of Grace Boldly 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help In Our Time Of Need! 

We Are Secure In The Care Of The King Who Died To Save Us 

And 

Lives To Make Intercession For Us 

And 

Is Returning To Take Us Home To His Father And Our Father's House 

Where We, Immortalized And Incorruptible, Will Live Eternally

Free From Self And Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

Dare And Choose To Display Your Marriage Certificate: 

Open Your King James Bible ... And Pray And Read ... And Enjoy To The Max! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Think Tenderly ...

KJV Acts 24:25

25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Think Tenderly On The Truth 

And 

Grow Rich In Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

Throughout The Church Age

Men And Women Have Squandered Their Blessings From 

The Divine Majesty Who Inhabits Impenetrable Light 

By Lying On The Truth 

And 

Embracing Self-Deception And Self-Delusion! 

Haven't You Heard That The Best Lie That One May Tell 

Is 

The Lie Told To Oneself!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Thing In This Life Which Does Not Change 

Character, Clothing, Or Commitment To The Cause Of Christ

Is 

The Truth Of Christ! 

Have You Heard Our Savior Calling You 

By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth!?! 

Did You Answer In The Affirmative 

Or Did You Calendar It For That More Convenient Time 

After You've Gotten Your Jollies 

By Indulging Your Favorite Sin!?! 

Beloved, Be Warned! 

Telling The Lord To Come To You 

At A More Convenient-To-You Time 

Is 

Like Asking Sunrise To Come At Sunset Twice Removed! 

The Sun Does Not Rise Or Set By Our Say-So 

Nor Is The Almighty God Our Servant 

And 

We His God! 

Tread Softly! 

Choose To Listen To The Lamb 

And 

Remember That Every Good And Every Perfect Gift 

Is 

From Him In Whom There Is No Variableness 

Aka Mood-Swings 

Or Shadow Of Turning 

Aka Fickleness 

Aka He Has No Liar In Himself!

Beloved, Think! 

Almighty God Is The Same

Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

I Implore Us All To Heed The Call To Life 

Less We Awaken One Day To Find Ourselves Like 

King Saul, Judas Iscariot, And All Who Believe That 

They Can Instruct, Correct, Control, 

And 

Commission The Creator God

Our King ... The Judge! 

Night Is Coming

So Walk In The Light That Leads To Life Everlasting! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Multiple-Domain WARFARE!

KJV Isaiah 41:13

13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

All Christians Must Be Able To Indulge Multiple-Domain Warfare 

Because 

We Will Suffer Attack From Three Sources Which We Must 

Boldly And Courageously Overcome ... By Almighty God's Amazing Grace!

Brethren, 

The Adversary Of Souls Will Attack Us 

Through The Same Three Domains 

Through Which He Attacked Our Blessed Jesus: 

The Lust Of The Flesh

The Lust Of The Eyes

And 

The Pride Of Life! 

Amazingly ... And Thankfully

We Are Able To Overcome Our Fearsome Enemy's Vicious And Unrelenting Attack 

In The Same Manner, Using The Same Weapon, That Our Beautiful Savior Did 

Aka The Word, The Living Word

The Eternal Word

The Infallible Word Of Almighty God! 

Of Note, Dear Ones, Is The Fact That The Word

The Weapon Of Our Warfare

Is Not Carnal 

And 

Is Only Useful To Us If We Know It

Understand It

Accept It

And 

Are Willing To Utilize It In All Spheres Of Our Activities 

On Our Earthly Sojourn! 

We Must Have Love, Faith, Hope

Obedience And Endurance 

Or The Word Will Not Work 

Aka Will Not Be Of A Benefit To Us! 

Ask The Lord For Wisdom 

And

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Where's Your TOE!?!

KJV Psalms 9:9-10

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Where's Your TOE!?! 

Why Is A Toe Called A Toe!?! 

Why Do We Have Big Toes, Great TOES

Or As Some People Call Them, Thumb Toes!?! 

Our Great Toe Aids Us In Our Ability To Walk Smoothly

And 

Helps Us To Balance! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember These Words:

 Walking And Balancing! 

In Our Christian Journey Walking With Christ Our Lord

Our Great TOE 

Is 

Our Trust, Obedience, And Endurance! 

Without Trust

We Will Not Obey The Word Or Endure The Battle! 

If We Lack Endurance

It Shows That Our Trust Is Not Sure

And 

If We Lack Obedience

Trust And Endurance Will Never See The Challenge! 

Brethren, 

Nobody In Their Right Mind 

Will Anchor Themselves By Their Little Aka Pinkie Toe 

But 

Will Depend On Their Great Toe

Their Load-Bearing Appendage Aka Digit

To Hold Them In Place! 

Let Us This Day Use Our Gift Of Faith From Our Lord Christ 

To Birth And Nurture Our Trust In Him Who Saves 

By Our Always Ready And Willing Obedience 

So That We Will Endure To The End

So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved To Hear The Desired Words: 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

Beloved, 

Dig Into Christ's Free-To-All Salvation With Your Great TOE! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Recyclers!

KJV Jeremiah 2:19

19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Sighhh .... 

It Never Seems To End! 

We Backslide From Following The Saving Truth 

And 

Soon We Find Ourselves To Be The Official Recipients Of Chastisement! 

Oh, The Pain! 

With Truly Sorrowing Hearts

We Willingly Confess Our Folly

Our Sins

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

And 

Our God, The True And Living Holy God

With The Heart Of Love

Having Compassion

Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries

And 

Works For Us Our Only Means Of Deliverance! 

But ... Do We Learn Anything From Our Recent 

Known Unpleasant Experience!?! 

Oh, No! 

That Would Be Too, Too, Tooooo Easy! 

So What Do We Do Instead!?! 

We Rinse ... And Repeat! 

We Act Like Like Those Who

- By Their Own Wisdom, In Their Own Strength - 

Would Save Themselves, Would Save The Earth: 

We Recycle! 

Oh, Lord, Have Mercy On Us Your Wayward Children! 

Brethren Beloved, 

If We Keep Doing The Same Things 

Whilst Expecting A Different Response

It Is Called Madness: 

There Will Not Be Any Mad 

Aka Boiled-Brain Persons 

In The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

- Having Asked The Lord To Give Us Of His Wisdom - 

So That We Do Not Walk As The Worldly-Wise 

Whose Wisdom Is Foolishness To The God Of Glory! 

In The Land Of The Godly 

The Only Wise God Is King! 

In The Land Of The Ungodly

Satan, The Forever Damned, Is The Accursed King! 

Beloved, 

Rinsed And Recycled Sin Is Still Sin

Backsliding And Chastisement Still Cause Pain

Confession Still Places Us In The Land Of Regret

And 

Restoration Of Deliverance Will Still And Forever 

Come From The Hand Of The All-Knowing

Ever-Present, Forgiving God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 

Live And Love To Do Right! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sere Or SERE: Your Choice!

 

SERE Aka Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape Training

Sere Aka Dry, Parched, Separated From The Source Of Life

Beloved, 

All Committed To Christ Christians Are SERE Specialists! 

Our Survival 

Is 

Guaranteed By Our Enduring All Things For Christ 

By His Gift Of Grace Through His Daily Gift To Us Of 

Faith For The Day! 

Our Method Of Evasion 

Is 

By Staying Away From Aka Avoiding Sin 

And 

The Appearance Of Evil! 

We Are Required To Resist The Devil 

By The Word Of The Lord Of Life 

So That He Will Flee From Us! 

Our Way Of Escape 

Is 

The Way Of The Cross 

For The Love Of Jesus! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In All Things 

We Are More Than Conquerors 

Through Him Who Loves Us! 

We Are To Remain Attached To Our Maker

To Our God

To Our King

By And Through Whom We Live And Breathe 

And 

Have Our Being! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Bread Of Life! 

His Blood Is Our Drink Indeed! 

His Holy Angels Are Our Protectors 

Who Cannot Be Overcome By The Forces Of Evil! 

The Holy Spirit Is Our Comforter, Our Teacher, Our Guide 

And Together

All Of Heaven 

Is 

Working For Our Salvation! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Therefore Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And

Put On The Whole Armor Of God 

And

Point Our Noses To Heaven At The Last Trumpet 

And

Permit Neither Fallen Man Nor Fallen Angel 

To Cause Us To Turn Aside To Lying Fables! 

Fret Not Thyself Because Of Evil-Doers 

But 

Valiantly ... Courageously

Joy In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might! 

Jesus Christ Alone Saves

And 

The Way Of The Cross Leads Home! 

Peace!

 

The Law Of The Lord Is Our Hedge!

KJV Psalms 119

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

The Law Of The LORD

The Hedge Of Protection For His People

Is 

Perfect 

And 

Converts The Soul To The Ways Of Righteousness! 

We Must Do Right! 

The Testimonies Of The Lord

A Sure, Can't-Fail, Word

Makes Us Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

There Is No One Who Confidently Takes Jesus Christ At His Word

His Testimony

The Truth That Cannot Fail

Who Will Remain In The Darkness Of Sin

Choosing The Foolish Man's Way That Leads To Destruction! 

Beloved, 

To Know Jesus Is To Have Peace! 

To Follow In His Way Is To Find Rest! To Believe Aka Hear The Word 

And

Do The Will In Faith And With Endurance Until Life Shall End 

Is

To See Jesus In Peace

And 

Enjoy Life On The Golden Shore! 

Dear Ones, 

The Word, The Testimony Of The Lord Is Our Strong Tower: 

Run Into It

Walk Back And Forth Through Its Pages

Take Heed

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Is Our Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Would You Do It!?!

KJV Proverbs 23:23

23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

"They" Say To All: 

You Must Give Up Your Rights To Secure Peace ... And Safety! 

It Doesn't Stop There! 

"They" Then Say: 

You Must Give Up The Truth To Get Rights! 

Would You Do It!?! 

Beloved, 

Have You Forgotten That 

The Almighty God Has Charged Us To 

"Buy The Truth And Sell It Not!?!" 

There Is No Safety For Anyone 

Without The Security Of The Love Of The Living God 

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord Who Is The Truth! 

Would You Really Sell The Truth 

To "Secure" The Protection And Safety Of 

A Verifiable Lie!?! 

Would You Choose To Shelter Under The Roof Of 

A Non-Existent "Safe" House 

Under The Protection Of The Known And Proved False God Aka Satan!?! 

If You, Fearful, Would

Where Have You Placed It

Or Why Do You Not Use Your Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day!?! 

Dear Ones, Beloved Of The Lord, 

We Are Not To Live Through Our Eyes 

Nor Be Propelled By Our Feelings! 

Let Us, Moment By Moment

Choose To Humbly Live Boldly By 

"Thus Saith The Eternal, Holy God!" 

Note To Mind: 

There Are No Clocks, Nor Crooks, Nor Crookedness In Eternity! 

Beloved, 

Let Your Hope For Heaven Be High 

And

Here And Now

Choose To Be Very Courageous: 

Love Truth, Walk Wisely, Do Right 

And

Honor The King! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: 16 11: Imagine That!

KJV Psalms 16:11

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

The King James Bible Came Out In The Year 1611

And 

What Do We See In Said King James Bible In Psalm 16 Verse 11!?! 

A Sure Promise And A Can't-Fail Blessing! 

Will You Dare To Take Hold of The Gift Of The Sure Word

Sure Promise

And 

Sure Blessings Which Our Dear Lord Gives To Us!?! 

Will You Believe The Word

Trust The Giver

And 

Embrace  Aka Utilize The Gifts

And 

Take Profit From Your Blessings!?! 

Beloved, 

Please Get Thee Hence Into The Presence Of The Lord Of Life 

And

Find Your Joy 

And

Stay At His Right Side 

To Find True Pleasures With Staying Power 

Aka The Pleasures Which Are Everlasting

As In Don't Fade

Don't Run

Don't Leave A Bitter Taste In Your Mouth

Scars On Your Heart

Nor Bruises On Your Body! 

Our Lord Is Neither Fairy Godfather 

Nor Lying Magician! 

He Is Almighty God 

And 

He Knows What And Provides All That We Need! 

Dear One, 

Please Give Yourself To The Kind King

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: How Are You Using Your Words!?!

 

Have You Noticed That Those Who Indulge In Bullying Behavior 

Use Their Words To Maliciously Hurt People ... Without Justification

And 

Then Excuse Their Unkind, Often Vile, Words By Saying That 

They Were "Just Being Honest!?!" 

I Wonder If They Know, Or Even Care, That 

This Is Satan's Way Of Operating 

Which He Uses To Try To Convince Us That 

Our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ 

Would Never Want Us In His Kingdom 

Because 

Of Our Obviously Besmirched, Known Defiled

Truly Degenerate Characters!?! 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Do A Deep Think

A Thorough Search Of Scripture ... And Self

And 

See If The Lord Would Or Has Ever Treated Us This Way

Or Would Want Us To Treat Others In Such A Wretched 

And 

UnChristlike Fashion! 

Let Us Remember, By The Eternal God's Great Grace, That 

Love, The Love Of Almighty God

Is 

The Lubricant 

And

The Currency Of The Caring Known Eternal Kingdom! 

Let Us Endeavor From This Moment, From This Very Day

To Choose To Speak The Truth 

With The Love Of God Leading! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Only A Pure Heart May Enter!

KJV Psalms 24:3-4

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Only A Pure Heart Can Enter Through The Open Door Aka Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life 

And Into The Father's House In The Heavenly Canaan! 

Sooo, What's A Known Sinner To Do!?! 

Glad You Asked! 

Only The Holy Spirit Can Make A Sinner's Heart Pure! 

So How Can I Get The Holy Spirit To Do That Job Of Work!?! 

Glad You Asked! 

It's A Two-Part Work! 

You Must Commit To Having Jesus Christ As Your Personal Savior, Lord, And God

And 

Invite His Holy Spirit To Enter Your Heart! 

I Must Warn You, Though! 

Extending The Invitation To The Holy Spirit 

To Take Up Permanent Residence In Your Heart Is One Thing! 

Cooperating With The Holy Spirit 

To Create A Clean Aka A Pure Heart Within You 

Is 

Everything! 

Not Inviting The Holy Spirit In 

And 

Not Cooperating With The Holy Spirit 

Produce The Same Result 

Aka No Salvation

No Sanctification

No "Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 

And 

A "Depart From Me, I Never Knew You!" From The Lord Christ 

Which Results In A One-Way Ticket To Damnation's Burning Lake! 

The Decision, Whichever It Is, Is Yours Alone! 

Anymore Questions!?! 

Please Use Your Gift Of Faith 

To Ask For And Receive Real And Right Answers! 

The Throne Of Grace 

Is 

Presently Permanently Open To Receive Your "Business" 

So Please Choose To Use Your Invitation 

And 

Free Access! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You've Heard It Before!

KJV John 14:15

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

There Was A Time When A Lil'  Person Could Go To A Big Shot 

And Say To That Person That 

Trust-Worthy Mr. So And So Sent Me To You For XYZ Job 

And Just Like That

Lil' Person Done Got Him Or Herself Hired! 

All Of This Was In The Day When A Verbal Recommendation 

Aka Authorized Name-Drop 

Meant That You Fulfilled The Requirements 

And 

Could Do The Designated Job! 

That Trust-Worthy One Was Putting Their Name On The Line 

Vouching For Your Character And Ability 

Whilst Telling The Big Shot That 

Their Word Was Bond 

And That 

Lil' Man Would Not Make Any Of Their Faces Ashamed! 

Beloved, 

Let's Take This Analogy To The Very Courts Of Heaven 

And 

See If We ... Committed Christians 

Do Not Need To Wheel And Come Again 

Because 

We Are A Bunch Of Bogus Believers! 

Hear Me Out! 

Think Cause And Effect! 

Do You Believe It Is Right And Fitting That 

We Should Eagerly Go To The Father 

In The Name Of The Son 

Letting Our Earnest Requests Be Made Known 

When We Are Nothing But Limping Liars 

When We Tell The Father That 

Jesus, His Only Begotten Son, Sent Us To Him 

Because 

We Fulfilled All Of The Requirements Aka Conditions 

When We Know For Certain Sure That 

John Chapter 14 Verse 15 Accuses Us!?! 

The Lord Jesus Said That If We Love Him

We Will Keep His Commandments! 

If We Are Honestly Keeping Christ's Commandments

Then Fittingly

We Will Not Be Insulting The Father

Calling Christ A Liar

And 

Denigrating Our Own Selves 

With Our Calculated And 

Stretched-Out Truth 

Known To Turn Corners! 

People, 

Unskilled Labor Can't Do Skilled-Man Work 

Or Get His Pay! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Expect To Reap All The Sweets 

Which Come Of Our Faithfulness 

And 

Cooperation With Christ 

By The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Fits Us For Glory

We Must Class Up Our Act 

And

Refine Our Actions 

As We Free-Will Choose To Be 

Who We Say That We Are In Christ 

In The Presence Of Our Father In Heaven! 

Please Understand That 

Only So Many Insults Will Be Tolerated 

Before Hostilities Break Out! 

Act Froward Aka Non-Compliant, Unyielding, To Almighty God 

And 

He Will Act Froward Toward You And Me, Too! 

The Father Can Refuse To Accept Our Prayers! 

Heaven Turning To Brass Against Us Is A Thing In This Circumstance 

So Let Us With Contrite Hearts ... Prayerfully ... Take Heed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Remember Gideon's Army!

KJV Judges 7:17

17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

The Composition OfJudge Gideon's Army Should Be 

A Warning And Clue

A Hope And A Help To Us Collectively And Individually 

On This Our Pilgrim Journey! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 

The Trumpet Sounding A Call To Arms 

Blew A Distinctive Sound Saying:

"Enemies About And Abound!

Help Needed! 

Come Now!" 

Thirty-Two Thousand Willing And Able Souls Answered The Call 

And 

Were Provisioned For Battle! 

The Almighty Sent Word Commanding:

"If You Are Afraid, Go Home!" 

Twenty-Two Thousand Frightened Souls Laid Down Their Arms 

And 

Went Home! 

Was It To Their Home-Home 

Or To Their Long-Home Until The Resurrection!?! 

Many Able Christians Ask The Lord To Let Them Rest In The Grave 

Because 

They Are Fearful Of Giving In To The Flesh During The Time Of Trouble 

And, Thereby

Disappointing The Lord! 

Ten Thousand Willing Souls Were Left To Face 

The Marauding Horde Of The Enemy! 

The Almighty Then Proceeded To Test These Souls 

To Draw Out An Elite Force 

To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 

Of The 10,000 Souls Thought Ready For Earthly Battle

Only 300 Souls Were Found Fit To Fight The Good Fight 

After Drinking At The Water ... Of Truth! 

Nine Thousand, Seven Hundred Souls Were Sent Home 

For Being Unwary

And 

For Being Careless 

In Their Preparation For Scorched-Earth War! 

Being Unwary And Careless Kills! 

Consider That ... 

There Was Going To Be Life After The War 

So Was It A Case Where The Almighty Was Sending Them Home-Home 

With The Full Knowledge Of Why They Were Sent Home 

So That They Would Have The Opportunity To Repent, Regroup

And 

Be Re-Educated By The Holy Spirit 

On And In The Living Word!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Those 300 Vigilant, Watchful, Souls 

Were Issued Lights ... Which Were Covered With Clay Jars

And 

Trumpets! 

(Are We Not Vessels Of Clay Holding Treasure?) 

At The Appointed Hour

In Their Three  Ranks

And 

Silently Waiting In Their Assigned Places

They Followed The Good Word Of Their Leader 

To Do As He Did While Uttering What He Had Said: 

"For The Lord And For Gideon!" 

In Obedience 

And 

Energized By The Word

They Broke Their Clay Jars

Held Aloft Their Bright Lights

And 

Energetically Uttered The God-Breathed Word 

And 

Utterly Routed The Enemy Of Souls! 

Brethren, 

Gideon Is A Type Of Christ! 

Those 22,000 Souls Who Had Been Afraid Of The Battle 

And 

Were At Home-Home

Would Ultimately See That They Were Unnecessarily Afraid 

Because 

The Battle Was A Spiritual Battle 

Fought By The Lord Himself 

Using Men Using The Brightly Shining Light Of Life 

And 

The Unmistakable, Unforgettable Word Of Truth! 

Preparation Is Only Good 

If 

We Believe In What We Are Doing 

And 

Trust Him Who Is Our Leader! 

I Pray That The Light Of Life Of The Lord Is Hidden In You

- The Jar Of Clay - 

Until The Day Appointed For Its Revealing! 

You, Me, We Have A Job Of Work To Do! 

Let's Keep Our Eyes On Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONSEQUENCES!

KJV Ecclesiastes 5:6

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

The Concept Is Old And Is Ever New

And 

We Will All Live And Die By Its Outworking! 

Brethren, 

Should We Each Do An Internal Inventory Of Our Past Works Aka Deeds

We Will All Recognize And Remember That 

We Made Our Decisions To Act, Or Not

By Giving Vent To That "Glorious" Statement 

"Consequences Be Damned!" 

Today, I Ask Us All The Question: 

Should Not We Each Make Our Willing Decision 

For Eternal Life In Our Lord Christ 

By Saying 

"Our Consequences Are Blessed Of The Eternal God 

Though Apparently Executed By Published-Abroad 

Known-Ungodly And Accursed Men 

Inspired And Motivated By The Damned Devil!" 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Stand With The Brave 

Knowing That Jesus Christ Alone Saves 

And 

Raises His Blessed Dead To Live Forever 

In The Paradise Of God 

Where All Is Love, Joy, And Perfect Peace! 

Now Is Not The Time To Be Wafflers And Fence-Jockeys! 

Now Is The Time To Be Very Courageous 

And 

To Boldly Live Under The Abiding Love

The Gentle Gaze

And 

The Loving Touch Of Our Master's Hands! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord Reigns And Rules Over All! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Times And Things!

 

The Lord Be Ever Praised!

Our Town Was Always Hopping! 

The People Were Wild And Wooly 

And

You Were Guaranteed An Experience 

Sure To Take A Few Years Off Your Life 

On Any Given Weekend! 

At Least It Had Been So 

Until Master Jesus Opened Grace 'N Mercy! 

Grace' N Mercy Was A Different Kind Of Establishment! 

It Didn't Sell Anything! 

It Had No Cash Registers

No Security Guards

And 

No Officious Sales Associates! 

Their Slogan, Written In A Strangely Comforting 3-D Bright Red, Was 

"New Lives For Old!" 

Truth Be Told

I Had Been Getting Tired, Really Tired, Of My Old Life 

So I Said To Myself: 

"What The Hay!?!" 

And 

Boldly Walked In Like I Owned The Place! 

I Was Met By The Master Himself 

And 

He Explained What I Would Need To Do 

To Get A New Life From Him! 

He Sounded Sincere

Had A Lovely Voice Which Was Truly Comforting

And 

His Offer Appeared To Be Legit! 

The Only Thing That I Balked At 

Was When He Said That I First Had To Get My Eyes Healed

Get My Ears Unstopped

And 

My Tongue Cleansed With Some Hot Coal 

From His Altar Of Sacrifice (Really!?!) 

And Then 

Empty Everything From My Pockets

My Purse

And 

My Tote Bag Before Stripping Myself Bare ... In His Presence! 

I Looked At His Cross-eyed And Said: 

"Pull The Other Finger!" 

Master Jesus Just Continued Looking At Me With Amazing Love 

And 

Great Compassion In His Beautiful Eyes 

Before Gently Touching My Right Hand With His Own! 

I Saw That His Hand Was Severely Marred! 

I Looked Up Into His Face 

And 

It Was Then That I Saw The Terrible Scars Across His Forehead! 

But, But ...!!! 

It Couldn't Possibly Be Him! 

I Shook My Head To Clear My Mind! 

Something Happened! 

Joy Flooded My Very Being 

And 

I Committed To Making That Transaction! 

Beloved, 

I Said All Of That To Tell You That 

My Old Crazy Self 

And 

My Wild And Wooly Town Started Slowly Changing! 

It Seemed That We All, Willing

Had Gotten New Leases On Life 

As In We Had Received New Life 

Just For Trusting The Word Of The Blessed Life-Giver! 

Truth Must Be Told:

It Had Truly Been A Great Day 

When Master Jesus Had Opened His Door

- Became The Door - 

In Our Town! 

What A Wonderful Change Is Being Wrought! 

Oh, The Peace That Passes Human Understanding! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rally Around The Lord Christ's Cross!

Brethren, 

I Don't Know About You

But 

I Have Noticed That Active, Willing, Sinning 

Is 

Now "The Thing!" 

There Is The Apparent And Obvious Trend 

Toward Letting Your Flag Of Personal Desire Aka Choice Sin 

Be Joyfully Waved And Flown High! 

Dear Ones, 

This Thing Should Alarm Us All 

And 

Should Also Cause All Of Us 

- Who Have Chosen Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion -

To Be Humble And Hopeful Outliers 

- Not Out And Proud Liars - 

Who Distinctively Sound The Battle Cry Of Salvation 

And

The Invitation To The Welcome Home Feast For Christ's Faithful! 

Let Us Sow Seeds For Salvation With Our Lord And Savior 

Instead Of Scattering Seeds Of Self And Sin 

With And For That Serpent, Satan! 

Please Remember, Dear Ones, That 

Jesus Christ Creates 

But 

Satan The Damned Destroys 

And

Dare To Help Our Listing Brethren 

To See What Accepting The Gospel Of Grace 

Gains For Them In Almighty God's Glory! 

We May Cry Now In This Dark Night Of Sin 

But

All Of Christ's Faithful Will Eternally Enjoy Joy In His Presence 

In The Everlasting Morning In His Kingdom Of Light 

Because 

There Is No Night There! 

Be Wise For Yourself: 

Do Not Make Peace With Sin! 

Let Us Valiantly Choose To Make Peace With Peace! 

Peace Be Upon You Aka Jesus Christ Be With You!
