MAKE MENTION

Who are you following with your mind and heart? Who are you mentioning and emphasizing with your tongue? What voice are you listening to, and what spirit is persuading you?  Your mind is dwelling on something. Gird up the loins of your mind, and be Sober. What is your your Mind's fixation, your Soul's passion, and your Hear's obsession? Your voice is harping on something or other; you are underlining something with your speech and doings. You are declaring something fervently.

Be Wise: Make mention of JESUS and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, MERCY, and LOVINGKINDNESS only; For HE is The Living and True Living God. Extol and honest The Everlasting KING of heaven. Don't be babbling about some false, dead god; make no mention of other gods and vain idols invented by this evil world, neither serve them. Pay close attention to what a man is underlining with his speech and deeds.

There's only one God of heaven; He is the only wise God: Praise the LORD JESUS CHRIST, Call upon His name, Keep not silence, Declare His doings, Publish the Gospel of Christ; Make mention of HIS Name in Truth and Righteousness. Exalt The Name which is above every name; JESUS, The Lamb of God Himself.

Who are you trying to bring people's attention to with your life? Who has the Preeminence in your thoughts, intents, and actions? Always be asking the Holy Spirit for His divine aid and guidance in prayer, in witnessing, in everything. Come boldly unto the Throne of Grace, and Behold The Lamb of God! 

What are you Mentioning today?

"ONLY"

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. Be not afraid, only believe. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from HIM. I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only. 

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, even thou only.

To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. 

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for Thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

*IN THE KNOW*

I am the Good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins. 

Because HE hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised Him from the dead. That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 

He that hath the Son hath Life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. 

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. 

That I may know HIM, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. Hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto HIM against that day. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard HIM ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 

But I know Him: for I am from Him, and he hath sent me. Then said they unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL

The Glorious Gospel of Christ is your only Hope in this present evil world. The LovingKindness and Mercy of God in Christ Jesus is commended and extended to you only at the Cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your many Sins hang about your neck like a weighty millstone; you sit in the darkness of the prison house of Sin, despairing in the dreadful shadow of death. Your Soul's dire necessity is Christ Jesus Himself, nothing or no one else with ever Satisfy you deep within. May the Holy Spirit be merciful and bring God's Grace to you, and may He begin His secret work within you. Sin is a dark path that leads to a dead-end of Misery and Destruction. Your ways are unequal with God, and your sinful mind is against the God of heaven. If you get the Justice you deserve, you will surely be Doomed and Damned. This very moment, your Soul desperately needs the Precious Blood and Perfect Righteousness of Christ Jesus. 

God be merciful to me a sinner, for Jesus' sake, this must be your only plea. Your Soul is despairing without Christ. But you would rather starve and go to Hell, than take the Free Bread of Life from Jesus' merciful hand. You need to let JESUS argue your case before God, for you are Guilty for sure. Until your heart is filled with divine Mercy from JESUS Himself, you will continue on in your confusion and despair. The Grace of God must first make your Soul feel the need for Christ's great Salvation. You can find Mercy in Christ at the Cross today. Entreat the God of heaven for the forgiveness of your sins through the innocent blood of His dear Son. 

This is the Glorious Gospel Way: God delights in Mercy, but He only gives guilty sinners peace, pardon, reconciliation, and renewal through the LAMB OF GOD which taketh the Sin of the world. God delights to forgives sinners, but only Jesus' sake. The work of God's grace make you realize your sinfulness, cause you to become uneasy and fearful of the wrath to come which you justly deserve. God's Grace helps you to perceive your sinful state, and creates a deep thirst within you, which your righteousnesses and religiousness can never quench. God be merciful to me a sinner through Jesus' precious blood, that was shed for guilty wretches like me. Pray for Mercy from God through the Precious Blood, or you will surely perish. Your self-righteousness is absurdity and wretched rags in the sight of God. 

Do you really believe you're a sinner? Do you believe you've broken God's laws, and you are a good-for-nothing offensive rebel against God's divine justice? Do you believe and sense in your conscience and heart you have broken all of God's commandments, and deserve eternal punishment on account of your thoughts and deeds? Are your sins a weary burden you carry about with you daily? Does your Soul need saving from the deadly plague of Sin? Do you believe that Christ Jesus can put all your sins away through His Precious Blood? Now remember, You cannot save yourself; you must trust JESUS to save you completely without your any of your righteousness. None of your self-righteousness can you bring; forsake your deadly doings; simply come to Christ's Cross and cling to Christ for Mercy from God. 

You have sinned; you know you have, from your childhood even until this very day. You will sin even more before you fall asleep tonight. There is an evil nature and tendency ingrained in your nature called Sin, that continues to lead you to lie, lust, hate, cheat, defraud, and reject Christ. Have Mercy on your Soul, come to Christ for Safety and Rest. When you Reject Christ and put Him off, you actually murder your own Soul; because He is the Only Remedy for your deadly Sin problem that is plaguing you continually. You have been foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating others. Your sins have left you debauched in mind and defiled in your Soul. Sins are like grains of sand, they don't seem like much from day to day; but when you put them all together, they are a very heavy bag of damning guilt on your Soul's back. You are a poor sinner, and nothing at all; and if you want to be saved, Jesus Christ must be your All in All. 

Hear the Glorious Gospel and take heed to it; Glad Tidings of Free Forgiveness of Sins through the Mercy of the Lamb of God. Personally embrace the Savior by Faith, and He will give you Relief from the guilt of all your transgressions. It pleased God the Father out of infinite Mercy to lay your sins upon His Son, the Substitute and Sinless Sacrifice for human sin. Jesus Christ took the full load of your sins up to the Cross, and then suffered for them, and carried them away forever, and now God can be Just, and yet the Justifier of ungodly Souls, just like You. 

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life. You put bread in your mouth every day, you taste and chew it, and swallow it down into your digestive tract, and that bread become part of your body, nobody can take it away. You become one with the bread eat each day. Even so, by Faith believe on Jesus Christ, and receive Him into your immortal Soul, and JESUS will become yours forever, so that no one can HIM from your very Soul; He will course through your being all of your days. Your Soul will dwell quietly and peaceably in Christ. Salvation's perfect work was FINISHED when Christ offered up HIMSELF on the Cross: He loved you and gave Himself for you. Faith in the Atonement by Precious Blood, and in the real and literal Substitution of Christ for you. Jesus died, the Just for the unjust, to bring You to God through faith in His sinless blood. The Lamb of God's substitutionary Atonement is your Soul's only Hope in this world today. 

Be s sensible Soul, embrace JESUS with your Soul, and receive the Savior into your Heart, Look away from everything that is within you and LOOK to Jesus Christ, trust only to His suffering, bleeding, and dying on Calvary's Cross where He became Sin for you. Trust your whole Soul with Jesus Christ. The Water of Life, JESUS CHRIST, is given freely to poor needy sinners. Are you such a sinner? Right now, your Sins are either on You, or on Jesus Christ. Yield to the Holy Spirit, turn from Sin to God, and Simply Rest on Christ and His finished work alone, Rely on His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and you are Safe forever. You are sin-bent and hell bound. Simple faith in Jesus, Complete Reliance on His sufferings and Precious Blood is the Remedy for your Sin problem. You cannot change your inward sinful nature, but there is a Person who can.  JESUS' sin-atoning work on the CROSS is your only hope of acceptance before God. Let the light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ shine into your Heart today.

God, be Merciful to me a sinner. Lord Jesus, Please give me a true interest and sincere belief in You, Help Thou me for I am in sin trouble, Hear my prayer, Change my heart, Turn me to You, and I shall be turned, Have Mercy upon my sinful Soul, Take away all my iniquities, Lead me to Calvary, Have Mercy upon me, Grant me your Salvation freely, Please save me Now from the wrath to come, Create in me a clean heart through your Atoning Blood, Receive me graciously through Your Atonement, Give me your Grace, I need real Faith in You, give me Faith in your Precious Blood.

LISTEN UP!

Who you actually listen to in this life is highly important. Words are like food, and your Mind is the mouth of your Soul. Be careful about what you let the world put in the mouth of your Soul. The devil wants to listen down to him. The world wants you to listen around to them. But what you really need to do is LISTEN UP to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

First of all, you need to ask God to incline your heart to listen to HIM. Because without the help of the Holy Spirit, you cannot spiritually hear at all. We are all born deaf to God, and the Holy Spirit must open our ears to hear. We cannot hear God one bit until we receive Christ Jesus and we are Born Again of the Spirit of God. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

Incline your ear, and come unto ME: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel. Give ear, O my people, to My law: incline your ears to the words of MY mouth. I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 

Keep Looking unto JESUS, 

and LISTEN UP to HIM!

SALT AND LIGHT 4

Seek ye the LORD JESUS CHRIST while HE may be found, call ye upon HIM while HE is near. Break with your selfishness and sins, receive Christ Jesus by faith deep in your heart. Be filled with the Spirit of God; Be a well of water springing up into Everlasting life; my cup runneth over. Do all things without murmurings and disputings. In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Abounding in the work of the Lord. Ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. Faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto ALL the saints. Not to just the saints that believe exactly the way you do, but Love and Faith toward the Lord Jesus and toward ALL the saints. 

Look inwardly; remember your own sinfulness; repent and forsake sins; Look outwardly; Realize the wretchedness all around you and have compassion toward lost Souls, and Look upwardly, and never forget the Love of God in Christ Jesus. Trust and obey JESUS, and seek Him for the strength and discipline needed to follow HIM closely. What are you following? Who is running your life? What are you spending your days and energy on? 

Whosoever believeth on JESUS, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. That ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Do not be a man pleaser; Please God with your thoughts, actions and reactions. Let your chief concern be this: Contrary winds and raging floods will inevitably come to your family, marriage, business, health, finances, employment, ministry; be wise, prepare for these boisterous winds by being rooted and grounded in Christ, and be founded upon the ROCK. The Holy Spirit is the divine Wind of God, Who blows and helps us endure the contrary winds. Do not be carried about by worldly winds, but let God plant you deeply in Christ and let your heart's roots cling to the ROCK. 

Keep your heart set on Christ, and walk humbly with thy God, so you will not be rooted up by every wind of doctrine and worldly spells. If any man thirst, let him come unto JESUS, and drink, yea, drink abundantly. Be led of the Spirit; Walk in the Spirit; Take Christ's yoke upon you; Let the Spirit of Christ lead you in the will of God and control your impulses. I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in ME, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without ME ye can do nothing. And of JESUS' fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to Whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

SALT AND LIGHT 3

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. In prayer is where our mind, heart, and will is conformed and transformed to God's will and purpose. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. God's kingdom and will begin to happen in our earthen vessel. Come to God in prayer through Jesus with a penitent heart, surrendered will; Think of God's greatness, thank God  for His Son and Goodness, Sense and appreciate God's Love and Mercy, let your Heart be warmed and prepared by the Holy Spirit to face daily circumstances. It is the highest privilege and opportunity to commune with Christ and seek God's face and fellowship.

God will hear your fervent plea and give your heart comfort; His Grace is sufficient for you. The LORD is Good, a strong hold in the day of trouble, and He knoweth them that trust in HIM. Pray without ceasing: Depend upon God all the day long; Confess your sins; Ask God for grace and strength to do right and please HIM; Cast all your care upon Him; Pour all your praise on Him. In prayer is when your heart is after God's own heart. Persistent disobedience results in misery; Consistent obedience to Christ leads to peace and blessing. Remain little in your own sight. The bird is free in the air, the fish is free in the sea, and the Child of God is free in the will of God, as he hears, understands, receives, and keeps God's words. Wisely help and lead Souls out of sin's captivity with the Gospel of the Grace of God. 

A little folly, little leaven, little slumber, little foxes, little horn, little member, little fire: little things can lead to big trouble. *Ecclesiastes 10:1; Proverbs 6:10; Song of Solomon 2:15; Daniel 8:9; I Corinthians 5:6; Galatians 5:9; James 3:5*

Will it be said to you, "Depart from Me, I never knew you," OR "My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me"?

You have broken the Laws of God and violated divine Justice all through your life, and you need to be forgiven and redeemed from your Sins. External religiousness will only leave you more LOST and confounded. If the Holy Spirit has made you restless within and burdened over your sins against God, don't keep kicking against the pricks. If your heart is desiring peace and pardon and favor with God, you need JESUS' Precious Blood and Perfect Righteousness. Christ Jesus' Precious Blood freely provides your Soul Pardon, and His Perfect Righteousness freely provides your Soul Perfection. Admit to God that you a guilty sinner deserving His eternal wrath. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. JESUS didn't die for His sins; CHRIST for your sins against God. The only way for you to Avert the imminent damnation of your Soul is to renounce/reject your righteousness and receive Christ's Righteousness. JESUS was absolutely sinless in thought, word and deed; and He offered up Himself, and shed the Blood of God on the Cross of Calvary to Atone for your transgressions. He rose from the dead the third day according to the Scriptures. Your superficial morality and dead works cannot help save you at all. JESUS is able to save sinners like you to the Uttermost that come unto God by JESUS, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. Truly receive Christ Jesus into your heart, right now, and receive Eternal Life and Forgiveness of Sins from HIM freely.
