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.
