A Little Help 1

Christ is All in All.  Beware of yourself, never trust yourself, always look unto the Author and Finisher of our faith - The Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  Beware lest thou forget the LORD. Beware of false doctrine and covetousness. Take heed unto thyself – be much more in prayer.  Remember – without Christ you can do nothing. Worship the Lord Jesus Christ – continually celebrate His Precious Blood, Glorious Resurrection, Lovingkindness, Free Grace, Eternal Life, Unfailing Love and Infinite Mercy. It's never too soon to pray, and it's never too late to pray.  Look continually to the Bleeding Lamb of Calvary.  Christ must be All, and you must be nothing at all, that is all.

Spend more and more time in adoration and sober meditation of Christ's sinless life, atoning sufferings, and future coming. Look to the Cross, take up your cross, deny yourself, and follow and please the LORD.  Read and study the Scriptures more earnestly and constantly. Search the scriptures diligently looking for Christ.  Live pure for Jesus' sake.  Watch your life more carefully - resist sinful tendencies and impulses. Love Christ and you will hate your sins.  Stay humble, grounded, selfless, repentant, willing, and gracious.

Recognize God and worship Him. The Invisible Creator really exists. Be a friend to God, not His enemy. Sin will only blind your understanding and deaden your conscience. Walk before the Lord in everything you do in daily life. You are never away from the presence of the All-seeing God. Acknowledge and obey His commands, converse with your Maker - Jesus Christ. Simply trust to Christ's Precious Blood now. Enjoy the favor and smile of God.  Jesus gives us complete and immediate Salvation from the penalty of sin, sanctifying Salvation from the love of sin, growing Salvation from the propensity to sin, and at His coming, ultimate Salvation from all tendency to sin.  Sincerity, gratitude, zeal, humility, consistency, purity, diligence, prayer, charity, praise, and thanksgiving are key.  Spend quality time alone with Jesus.  

Fight and struggle against your sins - live nearer to God from day to day. Take the best Christian examples for your pattern. Let your conversation and speech have the fragrance and salt of Heaven. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Let your heart be filled with affection and earnestness for men’s souls.  Be a good soldier – devote yourself unreservedly to Christ’s service. Increase and abound more and more in pleasing God and brotherly love. Wait for God’s Son from heaven. Trust to Christ alone, right now.  Remember the eyes and promises of God - live on His smile. Gird up the loins of your mind – think about God, reality, eternal things, and other’s needs.  Just like they tell you on the airplane, put your own mask on first, and then help someone around you.  Stand in the true grace of God.  Testify the Gospel of the grace of God in your neighborhood.  Grow warmer and more enthusiastic in the service of Christ.  Make sure you remember and cleave to God in times of loneliness, loss and weariness. Keep to those things which are true, right, and scriptural.  Be good to God, for He is worthy of our best behavior.

Testify for Christ, adore Him, exalt Him, fellowship with Him. Let not sin reign in your mortal body. Be not weary in well doing. Go work today in Christ’s vineyard. Sin never satisfies, but Jesus does. Watch unto prayer. Tremble at God’s words.  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  Kiss Christ’s feet, crown His head. The Cross is enough for me.  Thanks be unto God.  Whatever God wants. As Thou wilt.  Lord, do as thou hast said.  Leave your doings for Christ’s doings.  Live as to the Lord. Christ for me, Christ forever, none but Christ.  Praise God more and more.

Walk circumspectly, not as fools. Trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey Him. Watch for sinful impulses, and pray for strength to resist your vile propensities. Nothing but Christ, Christ alone, Christ is All. Be of good cheer. The Lord alone be exalted in that day. Seek the Lord’s savor, unction, and utterance. Fear not, be not afraid. It is time to seek the Lord. Renounce pride, lofty thoughts of self, and lustful inclinations. Put your trust in God, and your confidence in God’s words.

Mix the faith of Christ with all that you do. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Trust God most when worse comes to worse. Submit to God's words, yield your members as a living sacrifice daily. Pray for yourself, your family, your pastor and church, a lost soul, a struggling brother, your neighbor, a laboring missionary. Be of good cheer, Christ is risen indeed. Quench not the Spirit. Every man in his best state is altogether vanity. Do more for Christ, pray more for sinners, labor more for the Gospel’s sake.

Ask God for more of His fear, so that you will not forsake Him. *Jeremiah 32:40* Seek the aid of the Holy Ghost and the brethren.  Cleave unto the LORD – take good heed unto yourself, that ye love the LORD. Let the God of my Salvation be exalted. Avoid the sins which grieve God’s heart. Daily cultivate a close communion with Christ and the Holy Spirit, and a constant spirit of prompt obedience to the Lord’s will.  Glory be unto God. Give me Christ, or else I die.  Jesus never fails. Ask and have! Jesus still saves real sinners. Spend and be spent for Christ’s sake.  The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified. 

Be ye thankful. Hear the words of God, keep them, and bring forth fruit with patience. By all means save some. Just do right for His name's sake. Men ought always to pray. Greatly rejoice in the Lord. Ascribe ye greatness, righteousness, and strength to God. Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.  It is abomination to fools to depart from evil.  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil.

Rely on the effectual working of the Spirit. Enjoy God, worship Christ, walk in the Spirit, joyfully give up everything for Christ’s sake. Ask for more and more repentance. That I may know Him. Cheerfully obey the Spirit's promptings. Human effort is all in vain. There’s peace in believing. Christ liveth in me. Remember Calvary, renounce yourself, rejoice in the Lord. Be doubly cautious in keeping your heart with all diligence. Shun worldly company. Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak, forgetting in nothing God's blessing to seek.  Live nearer to Christ and the Cross. Kiss Jesus’ feet, pour out your affection and adoration on Him. Surrender daily to the sweet love of the bleeding Savior.

Be very sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s influence. Glory only in the Cross. Fix your love, adoration, admiration and affection on Christ Himself. Be strong in the Lord; stand fast in the faith; don’t waver, wander, or grow weary for Jesus' sake. Be zealous, generous, thoughtful, and prayerful. Desire God and delight in His words. Watch against unbelief, self-will, wandering, evil passions, corrupt desires, temptation, sins, backsliding, coldness of heart, worldliness, pride, selfishness, world-flesh-devil, formalism-hypocrisy-affectation, loss of temper, decoys-distractions, secret sins. Live purely for the glory of God. Trust Christ - Plead His Blood - Seek His Will - Preach His Cross. God Incarnate's Precious Blood is essential.  Take Christ's yoke upon you and learn of Him. Seek to know more of Christ’s fullness and your nothingness. Do not try to please men. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Eschew self-indulgence and carnal ease. Come, look, and rest in Jesus. Enquire of the Lord. Hope distinctly and fixedly in the Lord Jesus Himself.

Be humble, lie very low at Jesus’ feet, repent more earnestly daily– be more and more conscious of your sin and God’s grace. The best way to keep on your feet is to keep on your knees. Give yourself over to Christ to save and keep you. God will always help you when you are weak. Born again souls cannot live without private prayer. With purpose of heart cleave unto the Lord.  Let God be magnified. Yield yourself up completely to the guidance of Christ. Knock hard and continually at Mercy’s gate. Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Love God's words- His people - His church. Yield yourself up to God as a living sacrifice.  Get near to the Cross, trust God’s Blood completely, look out of yourself, rest fully in the promises of God. Teach me to do Thy will. We love Him, because He first love us.  Let Jesus' name be magnified forever.
