Missing Ingredient-8

Trust the Lord Jesus Christ, put your whole confidence in His person and blood, rely upon HIM in time and for all Eternity. Trust to the merits of His great atoning Sacrifice, and He will save your Soul instantaneously and eternally with His Salvation. Now make the only fitting preparation for the Judgment to come by repenting of your Sins, and trusting in the Sin Bearer, who died, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. Play not with religious superstition, play not with your Soul. You may play your Soul right into Hell, but you can't play it out. 

Human nature is dead set on working its way into Hell. Where there is real Faith in the Atonement, that Faith purifies the man within with true Repentance. Is Christ living in you? Are you living to Him? Your must rely alone upon Him; trust not in fiction, but in Reality. Lean hard, Rest, Depend upon JESUS, trusting alone in HIM. Faith is the habitual grace of the real Christian - trusting in God is His normal mode. God the Father is on the Christian's mind. The common habit of the Christian is a habit of trusting in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. The Christian's walk, life and conversation is Faith in JESUS always. 

Lay hold upon Christ, cleave unto Him, and receive Him as your Incarnate Creator, as your Sinless Substitute, trusting in His shed blood for the remission and forgiveness of sins. Look to the Mercy of Christ, trusting the merits of His sacrificial death on Calvary's Cross. Never trust your own integrity or rely upon your own strength or self-will. Are you only trusting to the Lamb of God for free eternal Salvation? Look to Christ also for inward Purity. Believing is letting your hands lie still, and turning your heart's eyes to Christ by Faith in His Precious Blood. 

Laboring, heavy laden, weary Soul, look to Christ crucified, buried, risen, ascended, interceding, and coming again. Look to His bleeding wounds and stripes and Live. It is very hard for human nature to part with its own strength and to stop trusting in its own righteousness. In our own conceits, we think we are strong and smart. The stubbornness of human nature frustrates the grace of God. Go directly to Jesus Christ by Faith this very moment. Confess your sins to HIM, and trust simply to His Precious Blood to wash all your sins away forever and ever, for all time. Look to Jesus, give the Faith look to Him, who died upon the Cross as the sinner's Substitute. 

The wisest thing you will ever do is look away from yourself and this world, and look to HIM. Flee to JESUS for Shelter and Sustenance, Rest your Soul upon Him, and trust Him to cleanse your filthy Soul. Ruined, undone, lost, loathsome, depraved is all you are on your very best day. Hang your Soul upon JESUS as a cup hangs upon a nail. Make JESUS all your Salvation and all your Desire. Fix your Faith and Confidence on HIM alone. Living Faith from God joins us to Christ, not our own works. Simple trusting for Salvation to the merits and blood of the Son of the Living God - this is the Gospel Way.

FAITH is the constant trusting to the Savior - Faith comes from God, not yourself. Are you seeking to add to Christ's perfect Righteousness some of the filthy rags of your own righteousness? Human nature is set on obtaining prestige, wealth, position, worldly honor and distinction, that is, the praise and good opinion of man. Don't try to gather temporal rocks here on earth and miss the Eternal Priceless Gemstone, the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't seek the shadows and lose the Substance. Human nature says, enjoy the present and leave the uncertainty of eternity to chance. Wake up now, and simply receive Christ, the man who died on the Cross and rose from the dead to save sinners like you. 

JEHOVAH'S Divine Justice is unrelenting, stern, unflinching, unsparing, merciless, inflexible, severe, inexorable and stringent - the very opposite of His Divine Mercy. Make JESUS' Precious Blood your Peace with God, at once. The Holy Ghost must first convince you of your perilous, sinful condition, and convince you that Jesus Christ is the only means whereby you can be rescued from Divine Justice, and make you Fit for God's presence. Acknowledge your helplessness and sinfulness before God, and personally receive Jesus Himself for Salvation, or else you must suffer the eternal Vengeance in the lake of fire. 

The only Door into Eternal Life is Christ Himself. Ask God for Repentance and Faith, Trust to JESUS' Precious Blood to give you access to the Father and acceptance with God. Give up looking within yourself, and go to JESUS just as you are, and trust to Him to save you. Look to JESUS, and find Eternal Life in HIM. Look to JESUS with the eyes of your Soul - Think of who Christ is - The mighty God, and yet a man. Think of HIM suffering for you, dying for you on the Cross, see HIM buried in Joseph's tomb, see Him rising from the dead on the third day, and then after 40 days, see HIM ascending into Heaven leading captivity captive. Think and believe dependently upon Christ, and if you do so, your sins are all forgiven. Have great Love to HIM who has forgiven you of all your sins. 

JESUS' life, death, blood, burial, rising, ascension, and coming again - this is the fulfillment of all RIGHTEOUSNESS. It is not your being or doing, but it is HIS being and doing on which you must depend for everything. The Soul must first be hemmed up by the Holy Spirit by conviction and persuaded to look to Christ alone. The end of the creature's righteousness is the beginning of the Creator's Righteousness. The end of the sinner is the beginning of the Savior. Where the sinner ends and dies, the Savior begins and Lives. 

Read the Holy Bible, Look straight to the Holy Spirit for His divine teaching and leadership, look up to the Holy Spirit and ask Him distinctly and immediately to give you divine Wisdom and to teach you the true meaning of God's words. 

Repentance 101

You may be a religionist or convictionist, but if the Holy Spirit has never opened your inner ear and given you the hearing of Faith; right now, your spirit, heart and soul are all still dead in trespasses and sins. Until the Holy Spirit begins to quicken your conscience and press the words of God home to your heart, you will forever remain a rotting corpse inside, and your mouth will be an open grave where the stench of your inner death spews out every time you begin to speak. 

True Repentance springs from a changed heart, a changed inward nature, a changed desire, a changed appetite, a changed will. Only the Holy Spirit Himself can initiate these changes deep within us. The Holy Spirit blows, withers, and quickens and His amazing changes begin within the inward parts of our heart.

Repentance is not being sorry for things you've done in the past, the deeds; Repentance is being sorry for what you ARE inside, a sinner through and through. Repentance is saying to God in sincerity: "I'm no good, and I can't make it at the Judgment in my own righteousness; I'm no good at all, I've never been any good, and never will be any good, I have to have someone else's Righteousness, so JESUS I am trusting your Righteousness, and not my own righteousness. I cannot establish my own righteousness and make myself acceptable in the sight of God; JESUS, please make me acceptable in the sight of God through your Righteousness." God demands absolute perfect Righteousness, and since you can't do it or attain it, in mercy and love God sent His Son and you must take Him to be your Righteousness, or else you will perish in your own righteousness. 

Repentance is when you hate the sins you once loved. Repentance from above leads you to avoid sins like you would avoid a rattlesnake or a great white shark. There is no fear of God before their eyes. The fear of the LORD should be our dearest Treasure (Isaiah 33:6). I will put My fear in their hearts. If God's fear is before your face, you will sin not (Exodus 20:20). The religionist sits with the doves on Sunday, and then flies with the buzzards all through the week.

A criminal is afraid of Prison, but he's not afraid of devising and committing the Crime, that will put him in Prison. Repentance is a fear of hurting God and grieving the Holy Spirit. Be good to God first. You will never avert the wrath of God to come by any means of your own. Christ-rejecting smart alecks always wind up in Hell where they belong. You keep turning toward sin, and denying the pleadings of the Holy Spirit. You refuse to turn form loving sins and this world's lusts. Only the Holy Spirit can apply the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God to your sinful soul and heart, not your works or some baptism. The man Christ Jesus only receives and saves guilty sinners. God now commandeth all men every where to Repent. Repentance is feeling the evil of your sins, and your deep need of Jesus. Repentance is the Holy Spirit's renewing of the mind daily. To depart from your evil and follow Jesus in the Way is your Highest Wisdom.

Stop hugging your sins and trying to cover up your iniquities. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have Mercy. Repentance and Faith are two of the unspeakable gifts of God. The Soul must first repent of its Sins before it will seek the Savior. Repentance is the Alpha of the spiritual Alphabet. Repentance can never be produced in the sinner's heart apart from the grace of God. Have mercy on your poor Soul, and flee worldly lusts and ungodliness; seek Refuge in the shadow of the Cross and overshadowing protection of the Holy Spirit - The Power of the Highest. You'd be wise to Consider your latter end which is quickly approaching.

Repentance is just this: Let not sin therefore reign in my mortal body, that I should obey it in the lusts thereof, and Let the Peace of God (Christ Jesus Himself) rule in my heart. I will have the man, Christ Jesus, to reign over me. May the abundance of Grace and the gift of Righteousness reign in my life by one, Jesus Christ. May grace reign through Righteousness unto Eternal Life by Jesus Christ my Lord. Just let Him in, and just let Him rule, for He shall reign forever and ever. Repentance is forsaking the sins I loved before, and earnestly seek to please the LORD by doing those sins no more. Repentance is a gift from the Holy Spirit, a permanent attitude of hatred for your sins. Hate and judge your sins, not the sins of others. Be kind to God first. Repentance is a divine gift from God which leads you to turn from your love for sinning to the Love of Christ. Always be asking the Father for more and more Repentance.

The Holy Spirit is the great heavenly Agent who works Repentance and Faith into the heart and regenerates. Judas confessed his sin of betraying the innocent Blood, Judas repented himself, Judas hung himself, and he went to hell. Judas' repentance was not of the Holy Spirit. Beware, deadly damnable religion will never remind you to Repent toward God, and Trust your soul in the hands of JESUS. Nothing I have done, but only the bloody suffering of God's dear Son will save my guilty Soul. Repentance is a great heart respect for the Holy Spirit, that leads us to abstain from those things which grieve, vex and quench His presence, power, and operation in our hearts. 

Repentance sighs over sins, and feels heavy weight of sins within. Begin to consider the goodness of God, for the Goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance. Remember how God has spared you innumerable times as were knowingly provoking Him all through your life. God's longsuffering and forbearance has spared you to this day. O Lord Jesus, how I love You! My sins how I hate you! I can no longer love sin, for God has been so merciful to me. Only the Holy Spirit's working can get you truly interested in the Savior's Precious Blood. The best Repentance of all is when you hate your sins enough to forsake and quit them for good, and remember, Repentance is a gift from the Spirit of God.

The Holy Spirit if the Author of true Repentance - Illumination comes first - the Holy Spirit touches your eyes of understanding, and you become guilty in your own sight. You begin to truly understand that your thoughts, intents, imaginations and deeds are evil in the sight of God. The law of the LORD is Perfect, converting the Soul. Detestation comes next - you begin to see your filthiness and your continual rebellion against God, and you begin to be frightened by your sinful nature, and are horrified by all of your secret and public sins of the past and present. Repentance is a sincere inward hatred toward sin, a disgust concerning sins, and a longing to avoid your past sins. Humiliation comes next - you begin to realize your guilt and shame before God, and cry out, God be merciful to me a sinner. Down at the Cross under the Precious Blood, you cry out to Jesus for His rich and free Mercy and for cleansing from your sins. Transformation comes at the last - The Holy Spirit must change your inward nature, appetites and desires by His mighty power. You confess and forsake your sins, because they are offensive and grievous to God Himself. 

You will begin to abhor, eschew, resist and avoid sinning, because it hurts and grieves God. Your stony heart must be divinely changed by the Eternal Spirit into a sensitive heart which cleaves to that which is good, and abhors that which is evil. The thorny bush must be turned into a grape vine which bear tender grapes; and the thistle must be turned into an olive tree. You must find all of your repentance, hope, forgiveness, rest, regeneration and everything you need in Jesus Christ alone. Believe in Jesus, Cling to Him alone. Hang on to the Lamb of God who hung upon the tree for you. Education, recreation, or a denomination will not work or satisfy, only Regeneration from above by the Spirit of God.

The Holy Spirit quickens the soul, imparts the words of the Gospel to the heart, and causes the inner ear to truly hear. The Holy Spirit pricks the heart, and then makes the heart whole with Jesus' healing blood. The Lord Jesus Christ is the great Author of Salvation for us, and the Holy Spirit is the great worker of Salvation within us. 

Repent - A Bible Word

Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Then began JESUS to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. And they went out, and preached that men should repent. Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 

But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 

And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 

============================================

The essence of “Repentance” is the hatred of your sins; it is a turning from your sins and a determination in the strength of the Holy Spirit to forsake your sins. Repentance is an abhorring of that which is evil. Repentance is given to us by the Holy Spirit at our conversion. Repentance is to depart from evil, and to depart from evil is Understanding. The cry of Repentance: Let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

The Definition of Repentance: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. The wisdom which is from above is the departure from evil, that is The Fear of The LORD. The Fear of The LORD is to hate Evil, and it is the Beginning of Wisdom, the true seed of Wisdom, the highest Wisdom. Wisdom from above is first Pure: Repentance. Only the Holy Spirit can put the Fear of The LORD in your heart. Repentance is The Fear of The Lord - A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil. Hate the evil, and love the Good. 

Now, true Faith, in its very essence rests in this: a turning from evil to God and leaning upon, trusting upon Christ Jesus Himself. The pith, the essence of faith lies in this: a casting of your heavy laden Soul on the precious promises of God's words. Come to Jesus now, and He will give you Rest. Christ's Blood Atonement is the sum and substance, the root, the marrow, and the essence of all the Gospel. The Precious Blood is the only way Christ is able to forgive sins.  

It Won't Be Old Buddha

Well, old Buddha was a man,
And I'm sure he tried to do well,
But I often pray for his disciples,
Lest they should end up in hell,

And I'm sure that old Muhammad,
Was sure he knew the right way,
But it sure won't be Allah,
We stand before on Judgment Day.

Oh no, it won't be old Buddha
That's sitting on God's throne,
And it won't be old Muhammad;
That's welcoming me home,
And it won't be Joseph Smith,
That sounds the last trumpet tune,
We're going to live with God's Precious Son,
Not with Reverend Sun Myung Moon!

Well, I don't hate anybody,
So please don't take me wrong,
But there really is a message,
In this simple little song,
You see, there's only One Way,
and His name is JEHOVAH JESUS,
If eternal life is your goal, just never forget –
Good works and man-made religions,
Can never save your soul.

Well, you may call yourself a Baptist,
And not be born again,
Or you may be a Presbyterian or a Methodist
And still die in your sins,
You could even be a Charismatic,
And speak in tongues and jump a pew,
But if you reject the Man Christ Jesus,
You won't be one of the chosen FEW!

'Cause it won't be a Baptist,
That's sitting on God's throne,
And it won't be a Presbyterian or a Methodist
That's calling me home,
And it sure won't be a Charismatic,
That sounds the last trumpet tune,
So go to Jesus right now and
exchange all your sin for His righteousness,
'Cause He's coming back real soon!

Exodus 22:20 -- He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

Noises in The Bible

So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.

Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.  Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands.  Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.  O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our Salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.  Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.  With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

And again Jesus entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that He was in the house.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The world is making plenty of noise today, but Christians should noise that faith in Jesus and His blood is the only way of salvation. Make a racket about the Cross.

Some Good Songs

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH JESUS
Would you be a victor, over every foe,
Conquer every trial in this old world below.
Overcome temptations, that each day you meet,
Keep in touch with Jesus, he will keep you sweet.

Many hearts are broken, often aching breast,

Waits the message spoken, that will give it sweet rest.
You perhaps can bring them, joy and peace complete
Keep in touch with Jesus, He will keep you sweet.

Would you be a blessing, all along the way,
Would you be possessing, perfect love each day.
Just let the Holy Spirit, overcome defeat,
Keep in touch with Jesus, He will keep you sweet.

Chorus:
Keep in touch with Jesus, though the path be dim,
Let cloud nor shadow sever you from Him,
Joy or sorrow greet you, friend or foe you meet,
Keep in touch with Jesus, He will keep you sweet.

GOD SAVES OLD SINNERS
The drunk on the street, the rich in the palaces,
The poor and unlearned, and the man of degree.
They all have a soul, in need of salvation.  
And they all have to come by Calvary.

Chorus:
I am so glad, God saves old sinners.
I’m thrilled and amazed, How He sets them free,
But the biggest surprise in redeeming ole sinners,
Is that He would save an ole sinner like me.

Was I so bad, that I needed forgiveness?
And was I so wrong, I had to be redeemed?
Well, I wasn’t a thief,
Yet, I lived in sin’s prison,
So I was as lost, as a sinner could be.

THE LIFEBOAT
We’re floating down the stream of time,
We have not long to stay;
The stormy clouds of darkness, will turn to brightest day.
Then let us all take courage, For we’re not left alone;
The Lifeboat soon is coming, To gather the jewels home.

Sometimes the devil tempts me, and says it’s all in vain,
To try to live the Christian life, and walk in Jesus’ name.
But then we hear the Master say, I’ll lend you a helping hand,
And if you’ll only trust Me, I’ll guide you to that land.
The lifeboat soon is coming, By the eye of faith I see

As she sweeps through the waters, To rescue you and me.
And land us safely in the port, With friends we love so dear.
“Get ready,” cries the Captain; “O look, she’s almost here.”

O now’s the time to get on board, While she is passing by,
But if you stand and wait too long, You shall forever die;
The fair is paid for one and all, The Captain bids ya come,
And get on board the Lifeboat, She’ll carry you safely home.

Chorus:
Then cheer, my comrades cheer, Our trials will soon be o’er,
Our loved ones we will meet, will meet, upon the golden shore.
We’re pilgrims and were strangers here, we’re seeking a city to come,
The Lifeboat soon is coming, To gather the jewels home.

EVERYBODY’S TALKING
Now everybody’s talking about something,
You can hear as the world passes by,
Some are talking about their wealth and their mansions.
Others talk about their trouble and their strife.

Well, I don’t how to talk to a rich man
When compared I’m a beggar, no doubt.
But if your talking about that old time religion,
Well, I know what you’re talking about.

CHORUS:
If you're talking about the old time religion,
Then I know what you're talking about.
About the kind that will make you love your Pastor,
When old Satan will say, "Kick him out."
About the kind that will comfort you in sorrow,
And will never, never fail to make you shout.
Well, if you're talking about that old time religion,
O, then I know what you're talking about.

I like to talk about the day when Jesus saved me
When my poor soul was sinking down in sin.
I like to talk about the way He has kept me
Through the shadows, the storms, and the rain.

I like to talk about the day of his coming
When I see His sweet face, there’s no doubt.
Well, if you're talking about that old time religion
Then I know what you're talking about.

I AM SO GLAD
I am so glad Salvation’s free to all who will receive it,
Glad that the news was brought to me, when I was lost and sad.
Praise His dear name, I can proclaim that truly I believe it.
For I am now His child I know, and I’m so glad.

I am so glad that I can tell to wayward souls the sweet story
Glad that by grace from day to day, a helper I may be.
Finding delight in service true, my soul is winning glory
Glory for Him who gave His life to rescue me.

I am so glad that all my heart to Jesus I have given
Glad that at eventide my soul to sheaves to Him may bring
I will be true until with all the happy throng up in heaven.
Sweeter in note the praise I give to Christ my King.

Chorus:
Glory, honor, be to His (Your) name forever
Never a greater Friend the sinful race has had.
Love Him and praise Him, Jesus the matchless Saviour
He has redeemed this soul of mine and I’m so glad.

ONCE IT WAS THE BLESSING
Once it was the blessing, now it is the Lord,
Once it was a feeling, now it is His word.
Once His gift I wanted, now the Giver owned.
Once I sought for healing, now Himself alone.

Once it was my working, His it hence shall be.
Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me.
Once the power I wanted, now the mighty One.
Once for self I labored, now for Him alone.

Once I hoped in Jesus, now I know He’s mine.
Once my lamps were dying, now they brightly shine.
Once for death I waited, now His coming hail.
And my hopes are anchored, safe within the veil.

Chorus:
All in all is Jesus, Jesus would I sing,
Everything in Jesus, and Jesus everything.

KEEPER OF MY SOUL
He’s the keeper of my soul, while eternal ages roll,
I am His and He is mine, O praise the Lord.

He is with me, He’ll not fail, I am His and all is well.
He the keeper of my soul, praise the Lord

I’m redeemed and now I’m free

I am His eternally, that my song of victory, O praise the Lord.

Since this message I have heard, I have trusted in His word.
He’s the keeper of my soul, praise the Lord.

When the saints shall gather in, we will be so happy then
O it’s good to be a Christian, O praise the Lord.

He is with me day by day, He will hear when I pray
He’s the keeper of my soul, praise the Lord.

Chorus:
He’s the keeper, He’s the keeper,
He’s the keeper of my soul, praise the Lord.
He’s the keeper, He’s the keeper,
He’s the keeper of my soul, praise the Lord.

HOLD ON
You took the hand of Jesus, stepped out upon His promise
Yet it seems that you’ve trusted in vain.
The answer you have prayed for
It’s on its way and paid for

Hold on a little longer, Hold on.
Hold on a little longer, hold on a little stronger,
The testings of the Lord are pure gold
He’ll take you through the fire,

He’ll burn out the dross and mire.
Hold on a little longer Hold on.

You’re watching for His coming,
You’re wandering why He’s waiting,
Hold on a little longer, Hold on.

Those clouds will soon be bursting
The Son of God descending,
Hold on a little longer, Hold on.

DEEPER THAN THE STAIN HAS GONE
"Dark the sin that soiled man's nature,
Long the distance that he fell.
Far removed from hope and heaven,
Near to deep despair and hell;

But there was a fountain opened,
And the blood of God's own Son,
Purifies the soul and reaches,
Deeper than the stain has gone.

"Conscious of that deep pollution,
Sinners wander on out in the night;
Even though the Shepherd’s calling,
Still they fear to face the light.

Thus the precious consolation,
That should melt the old heart of stone;
This sweet balm of Gilead reaches,
Deeper than the stain has gone.

"All unworthy, we who've wandered,
Where our eyes were wet with tears;
And we think of love that sought us,
Through the dreary wasted years;

Now we walk the holy highway,
With the pure in heart along,
Because Calvary's flow thus reaches,
Deeper than the stain has gone."

"When with holy throngs we're standing,
In the presence of the Great King;
And our souls are lost in wonder,
As the white-robed choirs shall sing;

Then we'll praise the name of Jesus,
With the millions 'round the throne;
Praise Him for the grace that reached us,
Deeper than the stain has gone."

Chorus:
O, Praise the Lord for full salvation,
God still lives upon His throne
And I know the Blood still reaches
Deeper than the stain has gone.

BLOOD WASHED PILGRIM
I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace
Upon the King's great highway, with peaceful shining face
Temptations score beset him, but nothing could afright
He said the yoke is easy, the burden it is light.

Psalms of victory, crowns of glory
Psalms of victory I shall wear.

I saw him in the furnace, he neither doubted or feared
And in the flames beside him, the Son of God appeared
Though seven times it was heated, with all the tempters' might
He said the yoke is easy, the burden it is light

I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife
I saw him cross the threshold of God's eternal life
The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name
The stone so white for those who are found in Jesus
The burden it is light

YES, I KNOW!
Come, ye sinners, lost and hopeless,
Jesus’ blood can make you free;
For He saved the worst among you,
When He saved a wretch like me.

Chorus:
And I know, yes I know,
Jesus’ blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, thank God I know,
Jesus’ blood can make the vilest sinner clean.

To the faint, He giveth power,
Thro’ the mountain makes a way;
Findeth water in the desert,
Turns the night to golden day.

In temptation He is near me,
Holds the pow’rs of hell at bay;
Guides me to path of safety,

Gives me grace for ev’ry day.
He will me while the ages
Roll thro’out eternity,
Tho’ earth hinders and hell rages,

All must work for good to me.

I FEEL LIKE TRAVELING ON
My heavenly home is bright and fair, I Feel Like Traveling On.
Nor pain nor death can enter there, I Feel Like Traveling On.

Chorus:
Yes, I feel like traveling on, O, I feel like traveling on;
My heavenly home is bright and fair, Yes, I Feel Like Traveling On.

It’s glitt’ring towers the sun outshine, I Feel Like Traveling On.
That heav’nly mansion shall me mine, I Feel Like Traveling On.

The Lord has been so good to me, I Feel Like Traveling On.
Until His blessed face I see, I Feel Like Traveling On.

WHERE COULD I GO?
Living below in this old sinful world,
Hardly a comfort can afford;
Striving alone to face temptations sore,
Where could I get but to the Lord.

Chorus:
Where could I go, where could I go;
Seeking a refuge for my soul?
Needing a friend to help in the end,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Neighbors are kind, I love them ev’ry one.
We get along in sweet accord;
But when my soul needs manna from above,
Where could I get but to my Lord?

Life here is grand with friends I love so dear,
Comfort I get from God’s own word;
Yet when I face the chilling hand of death.
Where could I go but to my Lord.

HOW BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN MUST BE
We read of a place that’s called heaven,
It’s made for the pure and the free;
These truths in God’s Word He hath given,
How beautiful heaven must be.

Refrain:
How beautiful heaven must be,
Sweet home of the happy and free;
Fair haven of rest for the weary,
How beautiful heaven must be.

In heaven no drooping nor pining,
No wishing for elsewhere to be;
God’s light is forever there shining,
How beautiful heaven must be.

Pure waters of life there are flowing,
And all who will drink may be free;
Rare jewels of splendor are glowing,
How beautiful heaven must be.

The angels so sweetly are singing,
Up there by the beautiful sea;
Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing,
How beautiful heaven must be.

LIVING ON THAT HALLELUJAH SIDE
Once a sinner far from Jesus,
I was perishing with cold,
But the blessèd Savior heard me when I cried;
Then He threw His robe around me,
And He led me to His fold,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

Refrain:
Oh, glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll;
Help me ring the Savior’s praises far and wide,
For I’ve opened up tow’rd heaven
All the windows of my soul,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

Tho’ the world may sweep around me
With her dazzle and her dreams,
Yet I envy not her vanities and pride,
For my soul looks up to heaven,
Where the golden sunlight gleams,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

Not for all earth’s golden millions
Would I leave this precious place,
Tho’ the tempter to persuade me oft has tried,
For I’m safe in God’s pavilion,
Happy in His love and grace,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

Here the sun is always shining,
Here the sky is always bright;
’Tis no place for gloomy Christians to abide,
For my soul is filled with music
And my heart with great delight,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

And upon the streets of glory,
When we reach the other shore,
And have safely crossed the Jordan’s rolling tide,
You will find me shouting “Glory”
Just outside my mansion door
Where I’m living on the hallelujah side.

JESUS WILL WALK WITH ME
Jesus will walk with me down through the valley
Jesus will walk with me over the plain
When in the shadow or when in the sunshine
If He goes with me I shall not complain

Chorus:
Jesus will walk with me
He will talk with me
He will walk with me
In joy or sorrow, Today or tomorrow
I know He’ll walk with me

Jesus will walk with me when I am tempted
Giving me strength as my need may demand
When in affliction, His presence is near me
I am upheld by His Almighty hand.

Jesus will walk with me when I am tempted
Giving me victory through storm and through strife
He is my Comforter, Counselor, Leader
Over the uneven journey of life.

Jesus will walk with me in life's fair morning
And when the shadows of evening must come
Living or dying, He WILL NOT forsake me
Jesus will walk with me all the way home.

LOVE TOOK IT AWAY
Once, I bore a burden great, was weary and sad
But no more I bear its weight, I’m pardoned and glad
Love divine at last I know, No longer I’ll stray.
Go without a stain, I know, Love took it away.

Chorus:
Love took it away, one wonderful day,
It made me free, and lifted me in the light to stay.
Love took it way, one wonderful day,
Gone at last, my sinful past, Love took it away.

Once my record was unclean, my whole spirit was worn
But now my name on high is seen, just as fair as the morn.
Oh, what happiness is mine, with Jesus I’ll stay.
Sin no more makes me repine, because Love took it all away.

LIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE
I took a look in the old black Book,
And it thrilled me through and through
And if you’ve been saved and born again
It’s bound to thrill you to.

I was reading along about going home
And I found to my surprise,
I’m already there in Jesus
I’m living on the other side.

Chorus:
I’m already over on the other side, waiting on my brand new body
I’m sitting up there in the heavenly fair at the right side of the Father.
My citizenship in heaven, I’m living in Christ you see.
I’m already in there in Jesus, just waiting on my body to be.

Let the heathen rage, come what may, none can bother me
To this old world I’m crucified with Christ on Calvary
Spent three whole days there in the grave, with him I’ve been baptized.  
So being then made dead to sin, I’m living over on the other side.

If you been fretting, or thinking about quitting,
or fainting by the way.
And you’ve already past from death to life,
so brother you might as well stay.
The battle’s fought, the victory’s won, It’s finished my Lord cried.
He made us more than conquerors, we’re living on the other side.

JUST A WAYWARD LAMB
Just a wayward lamb, wandering from the fold
Out upon the mountains, so lonely and cold
‘Come and follow me’, hear the Shepherd’s plea
Safely on my shoulders, I’ll carry thee home.

I will lead in pastures, meadows green and fair.
If you follow me, I will guard thee with care.
Listen to my pleading, I will guide thee home.
Live with thee forever, no longer to roam.

And with tears He led me, gently to his side.
Jesus the Good Shepherd, died upon the tree.
Suffered untold torment for sheep just like me.
He became the Lamb, when he took my place
Oh what boundless mercy, what infinite grace.

Now, I’ve found contentment in His love divine,
Safely in the fold with the Ninety and Nine
Happy in His presence, He’ll guide me home.
Once I fear no evil, no longer to roam.
Goodness, love, and mercy always shall be mine.

I AM COMING TO THE CROSS

I am coming to the cross;
I am poor, and weak, and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find.

I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,
Blessed Lamb of Calvary;
Humbly at Thy cross I bow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

Long my heart has sighed for Thee;
Long has evil dwelt within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me,
I will cleanse you from all sin.

Here I give my all to Thee—
Friends and time and earthly store,
Soul and body Thine to be—
Wholly Thine forevermore.

In the promises I trust;
Now I feel the blood applied;
I am prostrate in the dust;
I with Christ am crucified.

Holy Holy Holy

Glory ye in His holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. The Lord is in His holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy oracle. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. For the Lord is our Defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our King. 

Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Glory ye in His holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. He sent redemption unto His people: He hath commanded His covenant for ever: holy and reverend is His name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 

I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 

I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. The Lord hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall He be called. 

God's Honest Truth (2)

Human nature loves a false gospel that is puzzling; the carnal mind prefers a little confusion in the intellect when it comes to dealing with sins. Repentance and Faith are both gifts from God; they are both given during the implanting of the divine nature, when a child of God is conceived by the Holy Spirit. The natural man prefers to linger in his lusts and wander in a religious maze in which his sins are not clearly defined or dealt with, so he can continue to enjoy his sins and religion at the same time. If you keep neglecting the simple gospel of Salvation by faith in Christ Jesus' Atoning Blood alone, you will inevitably and surely die in your sins and perish eternally. God's grace or man's merit; faith in Christ, or faith in self.  This is the Gospel way - Acts 16:31.  Repent and be converted every one of you. Leave your sins behind, quit self, trust only to the Lord Jesus Christ - this is the Way.  A living faith in the living Savior is key and vital - Living Faith only comes as a gift from the Holy Spirit, not water baptism or your useless works.

Down with all your crucifixes and rituals and kooky religious convictions, down with your pretensions to do good works to help save yourself, and your confessions to priests to ask for absolution from your sins! Away with your idolatrous dependence upon yourself. Christ Jesus all by Himself has altogether finished Salvation's work, completely finished it without any help from you. After the doctor has prescribes you a medicine to cure you, you never take it home and try to improve upon it, oh no, you just take it in, and swallow it down: you must do the same with the Gospill. Do not hold up your self-righteous rags competing with Christ's robe of Righteousness.  

Christ bore sin's deadly curse; so bring not your pitiful religious pennies, and compare it with with the pure gold of His finished work on Calvary's Cross. Lay down what is your own, and come and take what is Christ’s. Put away now everything you may have thought of being or doing, and your vain attempts to win acceptance with God; humble yourself, and take the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end of your Salvation.

Fully depend upon the Lord Jesus Christ as God and as man. As God, He is able to perform every promise. Depend upon His deity which holds up the Earth, moon, stars, and pillars of the universe. Depend upon Him as the Almighty God, incarnated in human form, by whom all things were created, and by whom all things consist. Depend wholly upon Christ Jesus also as a man; depend upon His generous human sympathy and compassion for your lost soul.  He was born of a virgin woman, He was partaker of our flesh; He entered into our infirmities with a pitiful compassion, which He could not have understood, unless He had become the Son of man. Depend upon the love of His lowly humanity as well as upon the omnipotent power of His deity.

If you reject Christ, you must surely die in your sins. The only way of Salvation under the sun is by the Blood and Righteousness of God manifest in the flesh. Human merit is sheer delusion. Christ Himself is the only way of Salvation from the wrath of God; Salvation from the terrible judgment that is due to human sin. The preaching of the Gospel is the merciful visitation of God's tender mercy to you, the Kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. Even if you stop your ears, and refuse to hear it, still God in mercy has visited your soul. God tells you through the Gospel that there is a way of Salvation, that there is a plan for the free forgiveness of your sins. 

All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Your sins (envy, lust, covetousness, gossip, falsehood, deceit, blasphemy, cruelty, revenge, betrayal, hatred) deserve the wrath of God, and the only reason you're not in hell fire right now is the forbearing, sparing Mercies of God. Faith is trusting wholly upon the person, work, merit, and Precious Blood of the Son of God. Come and bow before the mercy of God in Christ at the Cross. Plead for divine mercy, not human merit. Draw near to God on His terms of mercy and grace. Keep your eyes on Jesus alone, and Behold the Lamb of God. This is the Gospel Way - Being justified freely by God's grace for Jesus' sake. All the merits of Christ's finished work come to you freely and simply by your believing in Jesus' Atoning Blood. 

Believing is trusting, depending, leaning and relying upon the Great Mediator, the Son of the living God. There is nothing hard about that, the hardest thing for you to do is give up your deep love for sinning against God. Your conscience warns you that if you die in your sins without Jesus Christ that something really bad is going to happen to you in Eternity. God was made flesh and became obedient unto death for your sake, and now He bids you to simply trust to Him and live forever. To try and help save yourself is hideous madness: All human merit is useless and damnable.

Atheists are great blasphemers, pleasure seekers, and hardened reprobates. An atheist is not good enough to be good to His own soul. The atheist says: There is no God like the Bible says. We can sin all we want, we can blaspheme, adulterate, fornicate and manipulate without any repercussion or recompense in time or Eternity.

Repentance means that from my heart I mourn and sorrow over my sins. Repentance is a change in your mind with regard to your sins. You now detest the sins you once loved.  I trust in the Lord Jesus Christ with my whole heart. I truly and sincerely believe in the Son of God and the Gospel. The Lord only hears heart-singing, not mouth singing. Read the Bible with your soul, not just with your eyes. I want genuine conversion, true repentance from my sins, and real Faith in the Blood of Christ. Lord Jesus, have mercy on my soul, and let all my transgressions be put away once and for all by your bloody passion on Calvary's Cross.  

External pretentious religion leads many a soul into Hell. The great, good, and glorious Savior bled and died for sinners. Finally, once and for all, forget about yourself and remember only Christ. Sinners who reject the Gospel will be judged by the Law of God, and with the Law of God there is no mercy, no more opportunities to repent and trust. In His patience and long-suffering, God warns and by His grace, He tenderly invites the sinner to Calvary. All pardon for human sin is provided in the one Great Atoning Sacrifice offered by the bleeding Incarnate God. The only grounds of real Salvation is the merit of Christ, what Christ is, what Christ has done, and what Christ has suffered. It is safest to trust alone in the merits and sufferings of the Christ of God. You cannot bear to look into Eternity as long as you cling in the least degree of human merit.

Human nature wants presumption, not faith; reformation, not regeneration; self-improvement, not the Holy Ghost's working; morality, not God's Righteousness; religious convictions, not inward purity; fanaticism, not zeal; religion and human merit, not Christ and His Cross. Christ Jesus is never merciful to anyone but poor, helpless sinners. Plead your need at throne of grace, for you are in awful need. You need real Righteousness, a new heart, free forgiveness, eternal life, and a right spirit within. You need everything Christ has to offer, for you have nothing of your own but sins and continual misery. Christ Jesus the Righteous, the Great Advocate, wants to represent you in the day of judgment. But He will only represent you Pro Bono (that is, represented by legal counsel free of charge due to your poverty).

God's Honest Truth (1)

Only the Lord Jesus Christ Himself can make you Fit for heaven. Only the Holy Spirit can make you Right with God deep within. The Complete Truth is found in a Person, not in a religion. Only the Spirit of God can give you a true interest in the Savior's blood. The only thing you can produce on your own, and that belongs solely to you are your Sins against God. Everything else you have is a gift from your Creator. Your immortal soul's eternal destiny will be determined by what you do personally with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh, no matter what you think. 

Jesus is Altogether Lovely; Exalt the Matchless Savior's Beautiful Name. Jesus' Precious Blood makes perfect Peace between the thrice holy God and guilty sinners. The things that God hates, those are the things that atheists enjoy the most. No other name under heaven given among men, but Jesus Christ can save from the love of sin. There's just something about His name. My Creator died for my sins. JESUS bled to death on Calvary's Cross for my helpless soul. 

You are in wandering aimlessly, lost in sin's blackest night, and you cannot make your wrongs right before God. Therefore you need the Merciful Mediator, the Sinless Substitute, the Righteous Advocate. Jesus paid my sin debt in full with Calvary's innocent blood. It's still His Precious Blood that saves from sin and cleanses deep within. Never ever rely on the works you may do. The miracle of divine Love must gently bring you to the Cross. Jesus took my place; that's why I cannot boast of anything I have done whatsoever. Pin your faith on Jesus Christ's blood that was shed for poor sinners. 

Your soul must be saved by faith in the Precious Blood, saved by trusting in God's tender mercies, saved by relying completely on the Atonement. Your greatest need every day you wake up is the Atoning Blood and Pardoning Mercy of JEHOVAH JESUS. Men insanely trust in their own false righteousness, and neglect/despise Christ's Righteousness. The two hinges on which the Door of Salvation swing are the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and nothing else. These are the divine hinges that hold up and open the Door of Salvation. 

What is Christ to you? The very first thing you need to do is trust your soul with Christ alone. Give up that darling sin of yours, that unbelief, that self-righteousness - Let that sin go, before it drags into the jaws of hell. The natural carnal man loves the praise of men, so they will not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Man wants a system of religion and desires a creed which will tolerate his lusts, a religion which will afford them to keep their pride and self-will. Men love the glory of man, they loved to praised by one another, complimented, approved of, and commended. You want to be SOMEBODY, to be exalted and thought highly of by men. Human nature has a love affair with human vain glory. Faith gives all glory to God, and NONE to self or man. 

The Gospel will not allow you to strut, that is why you reject it. Men want a religion which is all an outward show, nothing with real eternal meaning and substance is tolerated. Men want to be liked and not criticized by their fellow wordlings. You crave people approving of you. The addiction of human approval is a damnable thing. There must be a change of heart deep within you, that is, a real radical vital entire change that comes from the Spirit of God. If you go your own way, you will surely perish. If you remain a worldling, you will wind up in hell's eternal torment. 

You are risking your soul's eternal safety and welfare. Your lusts are not worth going to hell over. You are running the risk of eternal damnation for a day of sinful pride and pleasure. Have pity on your poor soul. Your will is inclined to evil; your heart is prone to sin. Human nature wants to be moderately religious while still enjoying sinning against God. They want a shallow belief about Jesus, that doesn't penetrate the very heart and root of their love for sin and influences their private life. Men love a religion for the crowd, not for the heart.

Imputation

God the Father has prepared a Perfect Righteousness, by which He justifies the ungodly. God sent His beloved Son into the world to save sinners from the wrath to come. JESUS was pure in thought, heart and life. Jesus worked out that divine Righteousness for us. Jesus kept the Law in every point; He was tempted in all points, yet without sin. Now JEHOVAH now says to you, "Sinner, I can make you righteous through Christ, absolutely righteous by the divine operation called Imputation. I will impute to you what JESUS did for you. I will only accept you on account of what JESUS is, and on account of what He did for sinners. He shall be your Righteousness. You will become the divine substance called "Righteousness" in My sight. As Christ was made to be Sin for you, and yet never sinned, even so you will be made Righteousness, though you have no righteousness of your own. Simply forsake your own righteousness, and receive My Son's Righteousness."

*Be A Nobody* (2)

Oh to be Nothing and lie down at Jesus' feet. Christ is Everything to me. Everything you need is in Christ Jesus. Turn your attention wholly to Jesus Christ now. Rest wholly and alone on the Lamb of God. Stay your immortal Soul wholly upon the Rock; Fly to the cleft of the Rock for refuge. Let Him save your soul; Believe in Jesus immediately. Leave your soul in Jesus' hands, and He will save you. It is Jesus' business to save sinners; it is not yours. Trust completely to Christ crucified, resting in His Precious Blood, daily seeking His presence, always remaining helplessly dependent on the Son of God. Give yourself fully to divine Truth found in the AV1611. Depend upon Jesus' Blood for cleansing,  His Righteousness for clothing, His bloody death to be the death of your sins, and His Life to be your Soul's life unto God. 

Lean on Christ with all your weight of sin, lean hard on the Cross of Calvary. Don't try to hold yourself up now, throw yourself right on Him, let Him bear up the whole weight of your being. Stay yourself upon the Redeemer, and you have everlasting life instantaneously. Trust to Him truly, wholly, solely, constantly, trusting only Him here and now. If you have nothing, Christ has everything you need. Christ is the Foundation, so repose on Him. Depend wholly upon the Spirit of God, keep close to the His Truth. Jesus is the Christ, sent from God to save helpless sinners, trust Him wholly and alone. 

Give yourself to thanksgiving, yield yourself to the Spirit's guidance, ask for the wisdom of the Spirit carefully and believingly. Accept Christ's Righteousness, adore His bleeding wounds, trust in His infinite pity and compassion. Delight to do the LORD's will, be content to be nothing. I take the Lord Jesus Christ to be Everything to me. Accept God's simples terms of Grace, that you are nothing, and Christ is Everything. Your nothingness can never help Christ save you. Learn the emptiness and worthlessness of the pleasures of sin, which are only for a season. We are accepted in the Beloved, therefore we obey with gladness. Resting solely and entirely on the finished atoning work of Christ. Admit your fickleness and nothingness, really and actually trust in Jesus Himself, and rely more and more upon Him entirely. 

Come to be Nothing in all your esteem, vanish and melt away into Christ. Christ becomes our soul's necessary food, life, joy, and hope. This is the one way of Life, take Christ to be your Righteousness. You must be saved wholly by Mercy, or else not at all. Salvation is all of Grace, through the work of the Holy Spirit applying to your Soul the Precious Blood of Jesus. You're so dead that you can't even take the Gospel Medicine; it must be infused into you by the Holy Spirit. Realize your nothingness in the presence of God. Nothing to save, nothing to claim, nothing to boast of, but the Cross. There is no man in all the world you should hate as much as your old self, and there should be nothing you should long to get rid of as that old man who once was dragging you down to the deepest hell. 

Lord Jesus, please humble me, bring me down, teach me those things that will make me abhor myself, show me my nothingness, teach me my emptiness, reveal me to my filthiness. Your only qualification for admission is your emptiness. Faith is receiving Christ into your emptiness. The leaving of your soul in the hands of Jesus is the very essence of Faith. Cease to stand by your own strength, leave your whole weight upon the Cross. Forsake the hollowness of sinful pleasures, and the emptiness of worldly vanity; just be a nobody. 

*Be A Nobody* (1)

Simply be willing to be a nobody, to be nothing at all. God only creates things out of nothing. We shall never be anything, until we are willing to be nothing. Be perfectly content to be nobody. He who must be somebody shall be nobody. Human nature wants to make a name for itself, it wants be something special, it wants to something, or be something. Be nothing, and let Christ be Everything. Realize your own nothingness, and be conscious of the greatness of God. 

Be a wretched bankrupt beggar, conscious of your abject poverty and dire need. Communion with Christ make a man leave off sinning, or else sinning will you leave off communing with the Holy Spirit. A man cannot delight in sin while walking with Christ. Satan, the master deceiver, owns your soul until you are redeemed by the Lamb of God's innocent blood. Plead with God for Mercy through Jesus' Atoning Blood. For next 24 hours at least, leave off thinking about yourself, and think only of Christ. Have done with self, and cast all your cares upon Christ. I'm a poor sinner and nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is my All in All. 

By faith make your Substitute and your King. Trust Christ, Obey Christ. Come to Christ as Nothing. Be nothing and Christ will be Everything to you. Cease to believe in your own merits, put away all trust in yourself. You must be Nothing and Nobody Christ Jesus will save you. Be nothing but God's go between, be an ambassador for Christ. We have a treasure in earthen vessels; a ship's captain carries a rich cargo, but he doesn't own a single penny of all the cargo. Admit your poverty, sinfulness, nothingness, and emptiness. Know your own nothingness, see the Savior's greatness. Grow in humility, decrease daily. The nearer you get to Jesus, the smaller self will be. 

Self and Christ can never be close together. Read and Meditate on the Scriptures more, Seek the influence of the Holy Spirit, spend more time in communion with the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a fresh vision of Calvary; live with Jesus, nearer to Him. Jesus must be Everything, or He will be nothing. Leave off doing, and let Christ do All for you. Christ died for sinners, cast yourself wholly upon Him. You must be save wholly by Mercy, or else not at all. Be content to be nothing. Come to the Cross in all your emptiness, need, and misery. Take the Lord Jesus Christ to be Everything to you through Faith and reliance in His Blood. 

Believe in Christ crucified, buried, risen from the dead; accepting His finished salvation, being nothing, and letting Him be everything, doing nothing but trusting to what he has done. Be glad to be nothing, to be last, as long as you have communion with my Savior. Quit sin and self by determined resolve, come to Jesus, rest in Him, cast yourself on Him. Bring nothing to the Savior but your nothingness. Plead your emptiness, Don't take anything with you to Christ except your emptiness, that is all He wants from you. God looks for emptiness to show His grace.  

Missing Ingredient-7

Apart from Christ Jesus, every soul is dead to spiritual things, devoid of all life from God, cut off from the living Spirit who enables us to have communion with God, and to understand and enjoy spiritual things. The natural man cannot understand or perceive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned. The Spirit of God gives to us the highest form of Life in Christ Jesus. Unregenerate men have physical, mental and religious life, but no spiritual Life. The Holy Spirit goes forth through the world each and every day according to the divine will of God the Father, and implants in believing hearts the living incorruptible seed of the word of God. 

The divine nature, new life from above is given, and we live in the Spirit, comprehend spiritual things, seek God in prayer, made alive unto God, who is a Spirit. This Life is not obtained by ceremonial rites or human merit. The dead cannot rise to Life except by a divine miracle from God Himself. Men cannot rise to spiritual Life except by the working of the Spirit of God, for He alone can quicken us who are dead in trespasses and sins. 

There are only two groups of people living on earth today: The Quick and The Dead. You are the Quick if the Holy Spirit has made you alive unto God. You are still Dead if you have not trusted Jesus with your soul. Just like when Lazarus was raised from the dead; only Jesus can call us from the grave of our sins. When the Holy Spirit truly begins to work in your life, your sinful soul will begin to be in want; you will begin to come to your senses, and be awakened to your dreadful state. The Way is Christ Jesus, and only the Holy Spirit can quicken you in The Way. If you reject the Truth of the Gospel, your soul is vulnerable to all the lies and spells of this vile world. Only the Holy Spirit can speak Truth to a sinful heart. While you neglect the Savior daily, you are living in jeopardy of your immortal soul. The incorruptible seed of divine nature must be implanted within you by the Holy Spirit. Seek Jesus now, not religious ritualism. 

Beware of the religious cement you step into, because if it hardens around your conscience and soul, you may never escape, and wind up sinking down into hell forever. Christ Jesus' Blood was the Payment for your sins, The Lamb of God's very life was the cost of your Salvation. Your sins are many, but His Mercies are more. Jesus welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poorest to the Cross. Your sins have incurred a dreadful deft you can never afford. To die is eternal Gain for a Christian, but for a lost soul, death is eternal Loss. Nothing but the work of the Eternal Spirit is Eternal. Not one good work of yours is needed to perfect Christ's Precious Blood Atonement. The Law brings you down, humbles you, reveals your sinful thoughts and deeds, makes your feel your sinfulness and realize your crookedness and perverseness. 

The Holy Spirit must renew your inward nature, and renew a right spirit within your inward parts. The Spirit's operations in your heart produce thoughtfulness about your sinning against God Himself and this effects your conversion. Repentance originates in your thinking upon your sinful ways, and comparing to God's holy Law, which you have broken innumerable times every day of your life. And the Faith prompts you to turn to God's Way, and the Holy Spirit give you an internal renovation. Your heart of stone is melted with deep contrition, soul poverty, absolute bankruptcy, your empty pockets are turned inside out, and then Christ and all His spiritual treasures become yours instantly, freely, eternally. 

Missing Ingredient-6

You are currently serving one prince or the other: The prince of the power of the air (Satan), or the Prince of Life (The Lord Jesus Christ). In your natural unregenerate state, you can serve no one but Satan, because you are imprisoned in the kingdom of darkness. Your greatest need is the Savior's Precious Blood on your conscience, soul, and heart. You need the Holy Spirit Himself to renew your inward nature which craves sins and loves this world and the lusts thereof. Are you sheltered beneath the reconciling Precious Blood of Calvary at this moment? The conversion of a soul is the mysterious divine work of the Spirit of God. If a man awakens out of a physical coma, it is a miracle; but if a man awakens out of his spiritual Coma, it is a divine miracle for sure. 

Human efforts are all in vain. Are you willing to be completely saved by Christ Jesus, without any goodness of your own? A work of God's divine grace must be performed in your heart called Regeneration. Religiousness is a pointless road to nowhere. The contrite ones are conscious of their guilt before God. The conviction of sin must come home to your soul through the mighty working of the Spirit of God. The only way to get to Christ Jesus is to feel your sinfulness and sense your emptiness. Only then will you begin to truly realize the value of the Precious Blood and need of Salvation. 

Christ Jesus tasted death for every man, and The Holy Spirit convinces every man of his sins, the gospel's truths, and then leads them to the Savior. And when sinners trust to Jesus, the Holy Spirit gives them new hearts and right spirits, and brings forth fruit in them. The monster sins that will eternally condemn you to a devil's hell is the neglect and rejection of the Son of God. The Spirit of Truth convinces the worldling of sin, because they do not believe on Jesus. 

I am doing my best with this gospel message to attract, persuade, advise, and forewarn your indifferent, careless soul. Please consider your latter end today. All your hope of salvation must lie in Jesus Christ and His Precious Blood. Salvation is a work which only the Holy Spirit can accomplish within you. Salvation must come from above, not from a religious sect. Salvation requires the divine miracle of Grace. The conviction of sin from the Spirit of God makes a person feel to be less than nothing, and unworthy to lift their eyes to heaven. The natural man sticks to the sentiments and rituals of his religious profession, loyal to a creed of customs, and remains utterly oblivious to true salvation and communion with God. Christ died for the ungodly. 

You are without spiritual strength until God gives you His strength. Let your faith rest completely upon Jesus Christ as God Incarnate shedding His Precious Blood for your sins. You are bad throughout, a sinner down to your bone marrow, down deep inside where you love sins and darkness. You refuse to go to Christ Jesus as a beggar in rags and receive all freely from the King's loving hands. You are so bankrupt that you cannot believe or repent apart from the Holy Spirit's divine help. 

Could you picture Jesus when He was here on Earth going around Palestine selling His cures? Saying to blind Bartimaeus, "How much do you have left in your alms cups to give me for your eyesight?" Or to say to Martha and Mary, "You ladies need to pass the offering plate, give me what you can, and I will raise your brother, Lazarus, from the dead." Yet you try to barter and bargain with Jesus with your self-righteousness. JESUS' huge loving heart is dishonored by your self-righteous bribes. Eternal Salvation is only given without price to helpless beggars at the Cross. All for nothing, or nothing at all. 

Jesus takes the crown from His scarred brow and places it on your head, only when you receive Him by faith. Not by merit or reward, only by Mercy. The sinner must appeal to Mercy, and Jesus will give you His riches through His royal divine power. The Righteous Savior considers the cause of the poor sinner, but the wicked religionist regardeth not to know it. Simply honor Christ Jesus by coming to Him as a destitute sinner with nothing to give or offer Him but your multitude of sins. Regeneration is highly essential in your case. Only the Holy Spirit can make your soul alive unto God. False religions come and go, but Christ Jesus is the same yesterday, today and Forever. Trust Jesus with your soul, not yourself or your religion.
