VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Internal Monster!

Brother Mac, What Does It Mean To Be Jealous Of Someone!?!

Sammy, To Be Jealous Is To Hungrily Desire

Something That Someone Has! 

Better Stated, Your Jealousy Is Actually Your Resentment Of 

Their Have And Your Have Not! 

If That Is The Case, Bro. Mac,

Then What Would It Mean To Be Jealous Of Yourself!?!

Oh, My, Nat-Nat, You're Calling Out The Big Gun!

Let's Do A Comparison:

Lucifer Was Jealous Of Our Lord Jesus:

He Evilly, Sinfully, Desired The Position, Power, And Praise That

Our Jesus Had ... By Right! 

Now, If Lucifer Had Resented, Hated

Or Had Self-Loathing For His Inappropriate, Sinful Desire

His Inward Longing For Desiring What Was Not His To Have Or To Hold

He Would Not Have Started The War In Heaven

When He Sought To Undermine His Maker!

In This Light, And Rightly Used

Being Jealous Of Yourself

Is To Hate What You're Feeling

And

Choosing To Walk Away From The Direction That

Your Unchecked Feeling - Your Internal Monster - 

Created By Virtue Of Our Fore-Parents' Sin Aka Their Lawlessness

And, Instead, Sought As In Ran After Your Savior For Your Salvation!

Wow, Bro. Mac, That's Deep!

Yes, Hopper, So Let's Look In The Good Book At Proverbs 6:34 

To Prove Our Point! 

For Jealousy Is The Rage Of A Man:

Therefore He Will Not Spare

In The Day Of Vengeance.

Now, Let Us Also Look At Proverbs 14:30! 

A Sound Heart Is The Life Of The Flesh:

But Envy The Rottenness Of The Bones.

Envy Aka Jealousy Is A Destructive Force 

Which Ruins The One Who Is Not Contented With

Not Appreciative Of What They Have!

It Is A Form Of Self-Worship, Which Is Idolatry

Which Is A Sin Against Almighty God

Which Is How Lucifer Destroyed Himself! 

He Did It A Second Time As Satan

When He Had Jesus Killed On Earth! 

Lord, Help Us!

Brethren, 

Do You Believe That Being Jealous

Showing Resentment, Indulging Envy 

Was, Is, And Will Be A Good Thing!?! 

Bro. Mac, I Am Offering A Whole Long Sentence For Everyone Here: 

"NO!" 

AMEN!!! 

Beloved, 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith That Purifies The Soul

Choose To Live Lives Contented ... In Christ! 

May His Peace Be Ever Our Own! 

AMEN!!! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Where Are You, Ergate!?!

 

... And The Lord, By King Solomon, Said:

"Go To The Ant, Thou Sluggard;

Consider Her Ways, And Be Wise ...!" 

The Only Truck I Want With An Ant 

Is To Mash It Before It Stings Me! 

Wow! Violent Much, Aren't We, Meldeane!?! 

You Can Say Whatever You Want, Clotelle! 

Just Looking At Ants Scurrying Every Which Way And Loose 

Make Me Want To Scratch! 

Seriously, Meldeane, The Scripture Says That 

We May Learn A Great Deal From One Of Those Little Creatures 

Whose Weight Won't Make A Measurement On Any Scale! 

Methinks You Should Have A Lil' Chat With Ergate! 

My Dear Clotelle, 

When Would You Like Me To Have This Conversation 

With That Ever-Ready Bunny, Ergate!?! 

Now Is As Good A Time As Any, Meldeane 

... And Please Be Nice, No Sarcastic Remarks! 

You Wound Me, Clotelle! 

You Wound Me! 

Whatever! 

'Morning, Ergate! 

How Be You!?! 

Good Morning, Clotelle! 

Meldeane! 

Ergate, Why Are You Always Running Around 

Like A Chicken With Its Head Chopped Off!?! 

Nice Going, Meldeane! 

Sorry, Clotelle! 

Looking At Ergate Was Giving Me Ant Vibes 

And I Was Starting To Feel The Need To Scratch Myself! 

I'm So Sorry, Ergate! 

That Came Out Wrong! 

It's Okay, Meldeane, I Get That A Lot! 

Simply Put, Ergate 

I Want To Know Why You Are Always So Busy!?! 

That's An Easy Question To Answer, Meldeane: 

My Name, My Nature! 

Come On, Ergate!

What Does Your Name Have To Do With Anything!?!

Clotelle, What Have You Been Teaching, Meldeane!?! 

Have You Neglected To Teach Her That 

Names Have Meanings Which Denote Character 

Which, In My Case, Are Name, Nature, Character, And Calling!?! 

Meldeane, Do You Know What My Name Means!?! 

Nope, Ergate! 

Never Thought Much About It 

Beyond Thinking It Was A Made-Up Name! 

You Really Need To Learn To Self-Edit, Meldeane! 

Oh, Shut It, Clotelle! 

Ladies, Please! 

Meldeane, My Name, Ergate, Means Worker Ant! 

In The Ant Colony

Worker Ants Have, And Know, Their Assignments 

And, Being Diligent, Are Oriented To Time And Place 24/7

And Being Vigilant Regarding Seasons And Needs

Expeditiously Get On With The Tasks At Hand! 

The Ergate Of The Ant Colony 

Will Never Be Found Exhibiting Sluggardly Tendencies 

Or Being Sluggish Unless They Are Dying! 

Do You Understand Why The Story Of The Ant 

Is In Scripture, Meldeane!?! 

Given What You Just Said, Ergate, I Would Say That 

We, As Working Christians, Should Know Our Tasks

The Times We Live In

And The Seasons In Which We Are Working And Its Requirements

And Choose To Be Proactive ... Not Reactive

And Boldly Dismiss Our Inner Sluggard! 

Well Said, Meldeane! 

Thank You, Ergate! 

Now, How About Adding 

Ask The Lord For Wisdom And Understanding 

To Use Knowledge Aright

And Recognizing That Death Is Always On The Foot!?! 

Death Is As Night 

And 

Night Is Coming When No One Can Work! 

Very True! 

Would You Like To Add Anything, Clotelle!?! 

Sure Thing, Ergate! 

Work Is A Benefit And Our Blessing! 

The Wisdom Of The Ant Is To Teach Us To Get Ready 

And Stay Always In The State Of Readiness 

Since We Never Know When Someone Or Something 

Will Work Our Destruction, Our Death! 

Indeed, Clotelle! 

On A Final Note

Consider That Our Readied Or Readying Work 

Is 

A Foundation, Plain And Good Food

Or A Substantial Feast For Many Others! 

Our Faithful Working Lifts Others To Life! 

As Apostle Paul Said: 

"I Sowed, Apollos Watered, But God Gives The Increase!" 

Both Paul And Apollos Labored, Worked, In The Lord's Vineyard

And Great Was And Is, And Will Be The Increase Therefrom 

Because

ALMIGHTY GOD! 

AMEN!!! 

Ergate Aka Worker Ant

I Like You! 

I Like You, Too, Meldeane 

And You, Too, Clotelle! 

Yeahhhh! 

Lovefest! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Lord, Please Accept My Gift Of Me To You!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Are Instructed That If We Spent As Much Time

Giving Thanks To You As We Do Asking You For The Things

Which We Deem Necessary For Smooth Sailing In This Life

Things Would Go Better For Us! 

Lord, I Yield

And With A Humble Heart

Knowing How Spiritually Bankrupt I Am

I Give You Thanks And Joyful Praise

And A Glorious Hallelujah! 

Thank You For Your Sacrifice For Me That

Cost You Everything That You Possess

To Give Me Everything True That

I Could Ever Need In This Life For Abundant Living

And Then Life Everlasting! 

I Thought About Giving You A "Thank You!" Gift

But Then I Realized That Nothing Man-Made Would Suffice

And So I Have Decided To Give You Me

Flawed, Foolish, Needy!

My Heart, Lord, Is Spotted With Sin! 

My Eyes Are Cloudy With The Constant Look

At What Is Not Good! 

My Ears Are Constantly Itching And Often Blocked

From Tuning In To The Radio Station Of

The Adversary Of Souls!

My Tongue Utters Praise And Prayers To You

And Then Heaps Curses Upon My Fellow-Man!

My Thoughts Are Regularly Murky, And Often Even Dark

And Most Assuredly Contrary To The Covenant Of Peace That

I Desire To Have With You! 

My Hands, Lord, My Hands Are Those That Would Gladly, Even Gleefully

Work The Demise Of Those Who I Believe Have Offened Me

No Matter How Small

And My Feet, Lord, These Feet Have Not Always Been Shod To Deliver

The Gospel Of Truth, The Gospel Of Grace

But Have Been Quick To Run To Do Evil In Your Holy Sight! 

Father, In The Name Of My Jesus

Your Only Begotten Son

The Door Through Whom I May Enter Your Holy House 

... By Your Grace I Know That By My Faith Exercised

I Will Hold Fast Your Eternal Gift To Me And My Kind ... 

Have Mercy On Me And Accept Me, 

My Gift To You, Though Spotted, Torn, Tossed

Tested, Tried, Tormented, Thinking To Do Evil Continually

But Loving You With My Whole Heart

And Willing To Be Forgiven Of My Sins Which Are Many

And Cleansed From All Unrighteousness!

You Promised To Fix Me

And Fit Me To Enter The Gate

And Into The Glorious City By Right: 

Please Keep Your Promise

And

By Your Sweet Spirit Who Is Leading Me Into All Truth

Help Me To Keep My Promise To Be Counted

Amongst The Faithful, The True, The Overcomers! 

Of Myself, I Am Not Worthy To Come Into Your Presence

But You Told Me To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

To Obtain Mercy And Grace, Unmerited Favor

To Help Me In My Time Of Need! 

Lord, I Need To Give You Me

So Please Keep Your Promise And Honor Your Call-Out To Me

And Help Me To Deliver My Gift To You Though Poor It Is Indeed!

Please Accept It, Father

For My Jesus, Your Beloved

Spilt A Drop Of His Blood, Innocent Indeed, Upon It! 

I Love You: Please Help Me To Love You More!

I Need You: Please Help Me To Need You More!

I Thank You For The Blessings You Have

And Are, And Will Bestow Upon Me: 

Bless Me To Thank You More

And Praise You More

And Pray More

And Uplift You More

So That My Light Will Shine Brighter 

And My Salt Will Not Lose Its Savor, Its Taste, 

That Blesses Me As I Bless Others In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Without The Master, My Savior, My Creator, My Redeemer

My Forever Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother

My King To The End

And I Pray Never The Frowning Judge

I Give You My Free Will 

And, In The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail

Ask You To Mark And Make The Way That

You Will That I Should Walk!

Help Me To Moment By Moment Walk With And Talk To

And Lean On, And Trust And Obey The Master

And Cooperate With The Holy Spirit! 

Please Help Me To Allow Myself To Be Influenced By The Holy Angels 

Who Are My Guardians Excelling In Strength!

I Beseech You To Help Me Not To Look Back At Those Things

Those Possessions

Or Persons That For My Jesus I Have Walked Away From

For I Remember Lot's Wife!

I Love You: Let My Love To You Show As I Grow In Grace

On My Walk To Your Glory!

Please Help Me Not To Make A Shipwreck Of My Faith

For It Is In Jesus' Name That I Pray And Plead!

I Place My Trembling Hand In Your Hand That

Is My Rock In This Weary Land Called Life!

AMEN!!!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is The Joyful Sound!?!

Do You, Do I, Really Know The Joyful Sound!?! 

Just Because We Can Do Anything To Get Something 

It Does Not Mean We Should! 

Beloved, 

Having Free Will 

And 

The Freedom To Choose To Do What You Want To 

... As A Free Agent ... 

Does Not Mean That You Should Do Whatever You Want To Do 

Because 

Exercising Free Will Is To Wield A Two-Edged Sword! 

Dear Ones, 

To A Person Who Chooses Not To Know 

The Way Of The Lord Jesus 

And 

Refuses To Walk In His Will 

... As Is Their Right And Privilege ...

Free-Will Becomes Like Purchasing A "Nice" Pen

Which Has A 240-Page Instruction Manual Containing 

A Boatload Of Provisions 

     And Conditions 

          And Exemptions 

               Plus A Void! 

In Short, It Becomes A Contract Written By Satan Himself! 

Fine Print, Anyone!?! 

However, As A Committed-To-Christ Christian

Free Will And Freedom To Choose 

Is

A Simple Follow-The-Lord 

And

Truly Live Freely ... Live True! 

Exodus Chapter 20 Aka The Ten Commandments 

And 

Matthew Chapter 5 Verses 3-12 Aka The Beatitudes 

Become The Way Of Life ... To Life Everlasting! 

The Lifestyle As Exemplified By 

Hollywood, Nollywood, And Bollywood 

Will Not Hold Any Attraction For A Saint Of God And Christ! 

Please Do Not Crown Yourself 

With The Joyful Sounds Of The Worldly Wise 

Because 

You Will Surely Drown Yourself 

In The Water From The Tearful Sobs Of 

The Sorrowing Known Unwise! 

The Joyful Sound

The Sound Of Jubilee

The Sound Of Freedom In Christ

Freedom From Sin

Because 

Of Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 

Is 

The Gift Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Dear Ones, That It Is 

The Way Of The Cross That 

Leads To The Truly Lavish Home 

In The Only Beautiful City! 

Only Jesus Christ The King Saves! 

What A Joy It Will Be To Hear 

The Joyful Sound Of His Voice Saying 

"Welcome Home, Children! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Your Lord!" 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 

Ever Find Your Joy In The Voice Of Our Beloved Lord Jesus! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The PEG!

 

Anybody Got A PEG!?! 

Gracy, What Can You Do With A Peg!?! 

Yes, Gracy, What Will You Do With A Single Peg!?! 

Mindy, Pandy, You Misunderstand!

I Am Not Asking About A Peg As In A Clothes Peg!

I Am Talking About The Capital PEG! 

Okaaay! 

So, Gracy Sweet Girl, What Exactly Is A Capital PEG!?! 

Glad You Asked, Jen-Jen! 

You Know When You Have "The Problem" 

And You Need Help Real Bad 

And You're At Your Wits' End 

And You Don't Know Whether You're Coming Or Going 

And You Can't Figure Out If You Should Stand Up Or Sit Down 

Like If Standing Isn't An Upper And Sitting Isn't A Downer!?! 

You Know, Right!?! 

Well, You've Been Praying But ...! 

... I Know That Feeling Very Well! 

Well, My Dear Ones, The Praying Is The Letter "P" 

But There Is No "E" and "G!" 

So, What's The "E" And "G!?!" 

Have You Ever Heard About That Lil' Thing That 

Everybody Needs To Succeed But Hates To Expend!?! 

Come On, Gracy! 

We All Know That One 

And I Had One Of Those Moments Today! 

I Had Laundry To Do, And I Was Hoping That It Would Do Itself 

Because "I Didn't Feel Like Expending The Effort!" 

People, We Have Got Ourselves A Strong "E!" 

Does Anybody Have Any Thoughts About What That 

Good Old "G" Could Be!?! 

Not A Clue! 

What About You, Mindy!?! 

Goose Eggs, Gracy! 

Here's A Free Clue: 

King James: Come Boldly! 

I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Jen-Jen! 

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Capital "G" For Grace! 

Very Good! 

So Our Capital PEG Starts Out With 

Our Faith First Calling Us To PRAY Without Ceasing 

While EXPENDING EFFORT To Do Those Things 

Which Almighty God Will Not Do For Us 

Because We Can Do Them For Ourselves

While Availing Ourselves Of The Invitation 

To Solicit The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy 

AND GRACE To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

That Is Boss, Gracy! 

Can A Sister Borrow A PEG!?! 

That's A Hard "NO!" Mindy! 

Go Make Your Own! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Quit Profane And Vain Babblings!

 

This Is Not About What Your Grandmother Aunt Cousin Sister Said! 

This Is About "Thus Saith The Lord Of Life!" 

Who Are You Going To Believe And Trust!?! 

The Life Giver Or The Sin Enabler!?! 

Since The Lord Himself Has Said, Via The Apostle Paul

In 2 Timothy Chapter 2 Verse 16 

"But Shun Profane And Vain Babblings: 

For They Increase Unto More Unholiness!" 

Why Would You Doubt That You Can Shun Profane

Aka Foul Aka Bad And Vain 

Aka Useless Aka Unprofitable Language 

Just Because "People" Said You Can't!?! 

What Happened To 

"God Said It And I Believe It

And That Settles It For Me!?!" 

What Happened To The Lord Equips The Called!?! 

Since The Lord Has Called Us To Stop With The Useless Chatter

- Which Does Not Teach Us Anything Good Or Useful - 

Why Wouldn't We Believe That 

He Has Provided Us With The Equipment 

And The Strength 

And The Skills

And The Endurance 

And The Faith 

And The Grace To Accomplish The Work 

And The Needed Mercy When We Fall Short Aka Mess Up!?! 

Don't You Believe That The Promise-Giving God 

Is 

The Promise-Keeping God!?! 

Is He Not Your Shepherd, Your Refuge

Your Provider, Your Forever Friend!?! 

Isn't He That Friend Who Sticks Closer Than Any Brother!?! 

What Happened To 

"Where Can I Go But To The Lord!?!" 

Again I Ask, What Has Happened To Pray Without Ceasing!?! 

Are You Refusing To Believe That 

Your Praying Raises You Up To God 

And Changes How You See Things!?! 

Hasn't the Lord Said That 

He Who Has Begun A Good Work In You 

Will Finish It To The Day Of Jesus Christ!?! 

Who Is Your God!?! 

Is It Not The Great Physician

The Savior Who Sees, Who Knows, And Cares

And Can Heal All Of Your Diseases!?!

Is It Not He Who Desires To Know ... From Your Mouth

All That Concerns You And Is Concerning To You!?!

Is It Not The Eternal Holy God Almighty

Real, Righteous, And Returning

For A Prepared People Precious In His Sight!?!

Since You Claim That He Is Your God

Worship Him 

And

Believe And Act Upon His Unchanging, Unfailing Word 

Which Brings You His Sure Peace! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Is The Person Speaking "Words To Live By!" To You Trustworthy!?!

 

 

Brethren, 

We Must Understand That The One Whose Word 

We Choose To Accept And Follow 

Is What Will Make The Difference In Our Lives 

For Good Or Ill! 

Look At It This Way: 

The Savior Says If You Love Him 

Keep His Commandments Which Are Life! 

The Adversary Says Keep His One Commandment

Which Is The Whole Of His Law

And Live Your Own Life! 

The Adversary Says You Have Nothing To Lose! 

The Savior Says You Have Everything To Gain! 

The Savior Says Living Life His Way 

Is To Be On The Strait And Narrow Way! 

The Adversary Says Life Done Right Is To Live On Broadway! 

The Savior Says He Is The Truth And We Should Walk In Him! 

The Adversary Says Truth Is Overrated Unless It Is Your Own Truth! 

The Savior Desires Us To Live To Live In 

Almighty God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

The Adversary Urges People To Live 

Like There Is No Tomorrow! 

The Savior Says There Is One God: Serve Him! 

The Adversary Says All Men Are Gods: Serve Yourself! 

The Savior Says Give To Others And It Will Come Back To You! 

The Adversary Says Take From Others And Give To Yourself: 

It's Your Due! 

The Savior Says That We Should Not Tell Lies! 

The Adversary Encourages People 

To Decide What Is A Lie For Themselves! 

The Savior Says That Our Body Is The Temple Of The Living God! 

The Adversary Tells People That They Are The Living Temple! 

The Savior Says That We Should Glory In The Cross Of Christ! 

The Adversary Encourages People To Cross Off Christ! 

The Savior Says That We Should Deny Ourselves Daily! 

The Adversary Says To Daily Defy Deny! 

The Savior Says Humble Yourself! 

The Adversary Says Humble Others! 

The Savior Says Be Not Proud! 

The Adversary Says Being Proud Is To Sit On A Cloud! 

BOTTOM LINE ... 

Satan, The Adversary, Always Seeks To Dominate By Deception: 

Resist Him! 

Jesus Christ, The Savior, Ever Elevates By The Truth: 

Let Him Speak To And For You! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Just Stop It!?!

...  So He Told Her That

Whenever He Lifted His Arm Over His Head

It Hurt Really Badly

And Asked Her What To Do About It! 

He Went On To Say That She Told Him: 

"Stop Lifting Your Arm Over Your Head!" 

He Was Not Amused 

And Now He Refuses To Speak To Her Ever Again! 

What Do You Think, Abutte!?! 

My Dear Defray, I Don't Think

I Know That That Is The Typical Response

We All Give To The Good Lord 

When He Tells Us To Stop Doing What We Are Doing

Because It Is Hurting Us Really Badly! 

Excuse My Please!?! 

I Didn't Stutter, Defray! 

The Lord Told Us Not To Sin! 

He Told Us The Penalty For Sin! 

He Told Us What Happens To Us When We Sin

And

He Gives Us Faith, Strength, Grace, Mercy 

And

Hope For Help And Healing! 

You Know What Our Problem Is!?!

We Want The Lord To Do Our Heavy Lifting For Us

While Forgetting That We Must Expend Effort

Before We Can Expect Divine Help! 

Hold Up, Abutte!

What Effort Could We Possibly Expend First

Before We Receive Heaven's Help!?! 

Defray, How Could You, A Committed Christian

Have The Unmitigated Gall To Ask Me Such A Question!?! 

I Have The Unmitigated Gall, Abutte

Because I Don't Understand What You Are Asking Me!

Have You Ever Heard About That Blessing Called

Pray Without Ceasing!?! 

Of Course!

Who Hasn't!?!

You Would Be Surprised!

You Have A Sin, You Want To Get Rid Of It

And You, In Your Own Strength

Do The Thing In The Belief That

If You Do The Sin Enough

You Will Make Yourself Sick Aka Sick Of It

And You Wouldn't Want To Do It Again! 

Bad, Bad, Bad Really Bad Idea!

So What Should I Do For Myself, Abutte!?!

Stop Doing It By Going To The Lord In Prayer

Believing That The Lord Will Help You

By Asking Him To Help You

And Pray And Resist The Devil

And Pray Some More

And Sing A Song Praising The Lord For Answered Prayer

And Resist And Pray And Praise

And

Don't Forget To Give Thanks For Your Victory

As If You Are Already Victorious!

You Make It Sound Sooo Easy, Abutte!

It Is Hard Because It Is That Easy, Defray!

But You Just Turned It Around!?! 

So!?!

Do You Gain Muscle By Picking Up A Sheet Of Paper!?!

Of Course Not!

You Need Something A Smidge Beyond No Effort Required!

Okay!

When You Are Doing Heavy Lifting In The Gym

Don't You Have A Spotter

And Are Advised

And Encouraged

To Wear A Back-Brace!?! 

Of Course!

Everybody Knows That! 

So, Please Tell Me, Defray

In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Just, True, And Wise

Why You Would Face Sin

Without Your Back-Brace Aka The Lord Jesus

And Your Spotter Aka The Holy Spirit

And Your Moment By Moment Vitamins

Faith And Prayer, And Praise

And

The Fortifying Bread That 

Is 

The Infallible, Immutable Word Of The Living God!?! 

I Can't Answer That 

Because

I've Never Heard It Explained Like This Before, Debutte!

So What Are You Going To Do From Here On Out!?!

1800-Call-God Aka Pray ... And Without Ceasing!?!

You've Got It! 

And ...!?! 

Take My Vitamins And Eat My Bread

And ... Let Jesus Closely Embrace Me

Holding Me Straight Protecting Me 

And

Cooperate With The Holy Spirit

Who Will Lead Me Into All Truth

Who Sees My Drift, My Growth

My Stagnation And My Slippage

And 

Will Call Me Back Into Alignment With The Lord Of Life

Who Is Love And Light! 

Nicely Done, Defray!

Let's Do Business Again!?!

For Sure! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sacrifice O' Foolishness!?!

 

Simmeh Hey!

We Know, Ballywho, We Know!

And Who Is That Person In The Green Dress!?!

She Seems Somewhat Familiar! 

That, My Fine Friend, Is Lotta Long-Talk

The Esteemed Speaker For This Event! 

Merciful Powers!

Are You Okay, Ballywho!?!

Oh, I'm Fine

But Very Shortly You And Your Audience Will Not Be!

Excuse Me!?!

What Do You Mean By That Remark!?!

Gabe, Do You Remember Me Telling You About Ps. 1:1!?!

Of Course!

Blessed Is The Man ... Delight ... Law Of The Lord!

And Do You Remember Ecclesiastes 5:1!?!

Of Course!

Keep Thy Foot ... Be More Ready To Hear ...!

Out With It!

What's Really Going On Here, Ballywho!?!

You And Your Group Are About To Land In It!

Your Esteemed Speaker, Your Lotta Longtalk

Is None Other Than That 

Great Purveyor Of Bare Rubbish, Sacrifice O' Fools

Who Refuses To Acknowledge Or Accept That

What She ... He ... They Are Doing Is Evil! 

Lord, Help!

He Does And He Will!

Don't Do Anything Now!

Let's Wait For The Q&A!

Okay! If You Say So!

A LONG WHILE LATER ...!

Any Questions!?!

Yes, Ms. Long-Talk, I Have One! 

Would You Tell Us Your Position

As Regards The Blessings Of Almighty God

And Advise Us As To What We May Do To Receive More Of Them!?! 

Surely, Ballywho!

The Blessings Of Almighty God 

Mighty To Save And Seal, Help And Heal, Are Legion!

There Is Merit And There Is The Gift Of Merit

And Its Various Permutations! 

If You Want God's Blessings:

Get To Work!

When You Need God's Blessings:

Get To Working For Them!

Understand This, Though, That

While On The Face They Are Free To Us All

We, Each, Can Do A Good Work

To Encourage God To Hand Over Those Things

Which We Know Are Perfect For Us 

At The Moment We Have Determined Are Suitable

To Make Us Feel Happy At That Moment Of 

Our Lust, Uh, Ahhhm, Desire, Our Need!

ALL SOUND IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM

CEASED!

Ballywho Slowly Got Up And Proceeded To The Dais!

Turning To Ms. Long-Talk, He Began Speaking:

If I Were To Ask You To Give Me One Of Your Free Pamphlets

And I Accepted It When You Handed It To Me

What Would You Say About That!?!

I Would Say That You Received It ... Gladly!

Now, Lotta Long-Talk

If I Were To Ask You To Not Accept The Check That

You Will Be Receiving For This Event

What Would You Say To That!?! 

Ballywho, I Would Promptly And Vigorously Say

"No, I Will Not Return It

Because

I Have Earned It For My Labor!"

I See, I See!

So Let Me Get This Straight:

I, A Frail Human, May Receive A Gift From You, A Weak Human

And You, A Wicked Human May Earn A Paycheck For Your Labor 

But We, Needy Humans

In The Living Light Of Almighty God The Consuming Fire

May, By Meritorious Works, Earn A Blessing Or Blessings

But Not Just Receive, Take, Be Pleased To Accept

The Word Of The Holy God Who Cannot Lie

Unlike You, Lotta Long-Talk 

Better Known As Sacrifice O' Fools!?! 

The Room Erupted!

Sacrifice O' Fools Screeched And Fled!

Ballywho Called For Order!

Brethren,

This Here, Is Why We Need To Get Back To The Book Of Books

And Stop Letting Our Itching Ears Cause Us

To Collect Unto Ourselves These Charlatans

Who Are Making Money, Filthy Lucre, For Themselves

And While Making Merchandise Of

Almighty God's Purchased People! 

Brethren,

We Cannot Beat The Living God's Giving

And

We Cannot Buy The Eternal God's Blessing!

Our Job One Is To Believe The Word Of The Giving God

Accept By Faith That His Gifts Of Love Are Free To Us

And Are To Be Received With A

"Yes, Lord!" And "AMEN!!!" 

The Apostle Peter Told Simon The Sorcerer That

His Money Would Perish With Him For His Wickedness

When He Sought To Purchase The Holy Spirit's Power!

Dear Ones,

There Will Be No Wage-Slaves

Blessing Buyers Or Blessing Earners 

Darkening Any Gate Of Entry Into The Living Kingdom

So Let Us Now ... In Saving Faith Reject

Every False Thing Spoken By That Night-Shade

Sacrifice O' Fools Aka Lotta Long-Talk

And Repeat Our Motto:

"God Said It, I Believe It

And

That Settles It For Me!"

 

 

AMEN!!!

Peace!
