Daily Mental Warfare

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. 

We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, strength and Mind.  The mind is the mouth of the heart and soul, the mind tastes and swallows down things into the heart and soul. 

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare (the words of God, the Spirit of God, prayer, meditation) are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 

Our thoughts must be brought into obedience to Christ Jesus Himself. Ask the Holy Spirit to purify your thoughts, guide your intents, and give you a Sound Mind. Gird up the loins of your mind, and be sober.

Thoughts are very powerful; thoughts are like seeds that grow into words and actions. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. The lost soul is always minding earthly things, that is all he can do. Who controls your mind and thoughts?  What do you think about when you are all alone?  Remember: You are, what you are, Alone. Your inward parts is where God wants to dwell and live, that is, in your mind, conscience, will, thoughts, desires, heart, and soul. Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober.

How does a Stronghold begin in the mind?  First with a thought, then a desire, a look, a touch, a deed, then a habit, and finally a Stronghold. Sin begins with Presentation (through thought, sight or sound), Illumination (Conscience alerts and warns you), Debate (your will deliberates), Decision (Sin is allowed to enter, or Sin is rejected), and finally the Action. I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 

The very thought of foolishness is Sin. The thought of evil, imaginations, lust (delight in viewing it), enticed (weakening of the will), yielding (lust is conceived), sin (act committed), death (the result of sin). Only through the power of the Holy Spirit can we pull down the devilish strongholds in our hearts and minds. Only the Holy Spirit can open the eyes of your blinded mind. Ask the Holy Spirit to control your mind every hour of the day. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

My thoughts lead to my words and actions. The natural man, the lost man's mind is at war with God and hostile towards the Holy Spirit and His ways. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 
And seek ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 

My friend, Beware of who and what you listen to, for words are like spells that can easily take over your thoughts and mind, bewitch you, and eventually damn you.  Evil thoughts are a slow poison to the soul. Bad thoughts (ill will, selfishness, resentment, envy, bitterness, lust, hatred, and the like) are like unclean birds flying through your mind, and the birds must fly through, but don't let them build their nests, hatch their young, and dwell inside your mind.  

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The world's system and its thoughts are trying to conform your mind, and lead you far away from God and His wisdom and peace. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. We should be vigilant and sober minded, wide awake and aware of what is going on. Victory in your thought life must be fought for daily.

The Holy Spirit works and moves in a pure mind. But first of all, you must be born of the Spirit of God in order for your mind to be transformed and renewed. You are what you eat, and you are what you think. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 
Keep an open mind, but just like your windows, keep a screen over your mind (the words of God) to keep the world's bugs out. My mind, be on thy guard, for ten thousand foes arise, the hosts of sin are pressing hard to draw you from the skies. O watch and fight and pray, the battle never give o'er, Renew it boldly every day, and help divine implore.

Teach Me Thy Paths

For as many as are Led by the Spirit of God [not your church, cult, preacher, imam, or priest], they are the sons of God. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Hold up my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. He that walketh uprightly walketh surely. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Shew me Thy ways, O LORD; Teach me Thy paths. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth.  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Order my steps in Thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Teach me Thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. O that my ways were directed to keep Thy statutes! Whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Walk in newness of life. Let us walk honestly. For we walk by faith, not by sight. Walk as children of light..Let us walk in the light of the LORD...See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise.

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Order my steps in Thy word. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto Thee. I will guide thee with Mine eye. Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel; and afterward receive me to glory. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God...As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him... Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  Thy paths drop fatness. Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments; for therein do I delight. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in Thy truth. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 

The goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Walk in the Spirit. No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. 

Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.  To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;  Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Live in the Spirit.

But if ye be Led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. In all thy ways acknowledge the LORD, and He shall direct thy paths. Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Walk after the Spirit. I will walk at Liberty: for I seek Thy precepts.

The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.  In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name.  Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find Rest for your souls.  Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. Follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.

Someone is leading you every hour of each day, who is it?

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Wholesome Words

Be Kind to Your Mind: Think Purely. Have Mercy on Your Soul: Come Right Away to Christ Jesus for Shelter, Rest & Peace. Faith In His Blood, Worthy Is The Lamb.

Are you Alive unto God? Has your heart's pilot light (your spirit) been lit by the Holy Ghost?  Are you born again or just a skilled religious pretender?  Let the Lord Jesus Christ quicken your heart today. 

We must place Precious Faith in the most Precious Blood of the Precious Lamb of God. I Peter 1:7; 1:19; 2:7.

Mind the Lord, Behave yourself wisely in His Sight, Remember the Lord, Remain Mindful of His Presence.

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you Perceive and Understand His will and way.

God's Sparing Mercies are needed every hour of the day.

There is no help in earth below, but Love found a way. II Corinthians 5:21

WORTHY IS THE LAMB, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.

A wise man always prepares for the Inevitable - Here are the steps that we all eventually take into Eternity: Vitality, Infirmity, Frailty, Mortality, Reality, Eternity.

The Lord Jesus Christ, JEHOVAH manifest in the flesh, is the HOLY, meek & lowly Creator; He is good to all, very pitiful, gracious & merciful, slow to anger, & of great Kindness; He is full of Compassion, plenteous in Mercy and Truth, and abundant with marvelous lovingkindnesses. 

STRIVE AGAINST SIN,
DEPART FROM INIQUITY,
KEEP THYSELF PURE,
FOR JESUS' SAKE.

You are either striving with your sins, or you are striving with your Maker. Woe unto the soul that striveth with his Maker.  They that strive with the LORD shall perish. Strive to enter in at the strait gate. Strive to preach the Gospel.

Who is like unto thee O Lord Jesus Christ, glorious in Holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him? Who is a God like unto thee that pardoneth iniquity and delighteth in Mercy? 

Be wise, don't waste your time on fools, and don't squander your years away with foolishness.

DISCERNMENT, DIRECTION, DETERMINATION.

SEEK THE LORD
AND HIS STRENGTH,
SEEK HIS FACE CONTINUALLY.
I CHRONICLES 16:11

REMEMBER THE LORD,
CARE ABOUT GOD,
GRIEVE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT.

And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved Darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were Evil. For every one that doeth Evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Meekness: Submission to whatever God Almighty's divine will wants us to do and yielding to whatever He allows to happen in our life without murmuring or griping.

Lowliness: a continual dependence upon God Himself, that is, His presence, mercy, comfort and strength.

Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Creator was crucified, Knowing not it was for my sins He bled & died on Calvary's Cross. By God's Law at last my Sin I learned, Then I trembled at the Bleeding Love I'd spurned, Then my lost, guilty soul turned to the Lamb of God.

The one chief thing we need each day is this: The Sparing Mercies of The Almighty.

And the Blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the Blood, I will *pass over* you, and the *plague* shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

O the Love that drew Salvation's plan! O the Mercy & Grace that brought it down to sinful man! O the mighty gulf that God Almighty did span at Calvary's Cross, when God manifest in the flesh became Sin for us and suffered the dreadful penalty due to our sins. Worthy Is The Lamb! 

Without The Lord Jesus Christ in your heart, without Him in your minutes and hours and days, your life is a wretched existence and nothing more than vanity and wasted time. Draw nigh to Him, and He will draw nigh to you, Grace will be with all souls that love Him in Sincerity. 

If you want a Good heart, just ask The Lord Jesus Christ to give you one. 

Good questions:  Are you trying to draw my attention to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, or your religion or denomination?  Is your true motive and desire to persuade me to follow, draw closer, and become more like the Lamb of God, and not you?

Now mark it down:  The poor and needy Soul who trusts the Lord Jesus Christ wholly will find Him wholly true. Laus Deo! 

Be kind to your mind: whatsoever things are *Pure*, think on these things (Christ Jesus Himself, His Precious Blood, God's tender heart, The Holy Spirit, the words of God). Keep thyself *Pure* for Jesus' sake.

We are all a direct result of our thoughts, desires and private habits, as well as the voices and words we yield our attention and will to, along with the choices we eventually make, and the actions we finally take.

Natural common sense is needed and good, but Divine Sense "Wisdom" is of greatest Importance and vitally Essential. Wisdom Determines Safe Direction and Good Success. You have nonsense, common sense, and divine sense (Wisdom from above). If any soul lacks wisdom from God, let them ask for more wisdom from their Creator who gives His Wisdom liberally to all who ask Him sincerely. Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1

Be wise: Stop wasting time, every day is Precious, every moment matters - Trust your immortal soul with Christ Jesus at once, and follow Him closely every day, do justly in private, live honestly in public, and have empathy and sensitivity towards God's tender heart and feelings.

Ability and Stability are both gifts from God. Ask God to make you Able and Stable every day. 

When you're at your wit's end, just be still, simply and sincerely ask your Merciful Maker to give you His light and wisdom:  as a little child would, pray and ask Him to reveal the Truth to you found in the Holy Scriptures of the Bible.

A smart man prepares for retirement, but a Wise man prepares for Eternity.

Sin Always Complicates Life.

Whenever we put the wrong things down our drains in our home, everything gets stopped up and backed up; likewise, when we let the wrong things be put into our mind, the pipes of our heart get clogged and things don't flow freely.  Ask the Holy Spirit to flush out and unclog your inward parts today.

This world's evil system is constantly trying to figure out subtle ways to take advantage of people through their vulnerabilities and weaknesses such as illness and addictions: alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, shopping, prescription drugs, and medical bills and fees.

There are many spells going around in the world today; I am under the Gospell that comes from above.  

The Path to Calmness and Peace
C - Celebrate Christ Jesus 
A - Ask the Holy Spirit for Help Alway
L - Leave your Cares with God
M - Meditate on Pure things

It is Finished, Through His Blood, Worthy Is The Lamb, End of Story. 

Do your soul a big favor:  Turn it over to The Lord Jesus Christ for His care and safekeeping.

Through Christ, Through His Blood, Through the Spirit, Through Grace, Through Faith, Through the Gospel, Through Jesus' Name, That's the Way.

What bothers you most? My sins, and others around me entering Eternity without Christ.

Holy Spirit, please help me understand what really matters - please give me real Repentance, genuine Faith, and old-fashioned common sense.

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. He loved me, and gave Himself for me. Faith in His Blood.  God manifest in the flesh shed His atoning blood for every one of us:  Jesus suffered for His enemies; Christ died for the ungodly. Does that fit your description?

If any of you lack Wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. *James 1:5*

Be Wise - Ask for help and wisdom from the LORD Jesus Christ.

You won't truly glory in Christ Jesus until the Holy Spirit has first killed your self-righteousness and cured you of glorying in yourself.

What are you going to lose - your sins or your soul?  You must lose something. Friend, it's one or the other.

You do what you do, because you are what you are. A man always does according to what he is. You think with your heart, not your head. 

God's so good!  Where will ye leave your glory?  But God forbid that I should Glory save in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isaiah 10:4; Galatians 6:14

Take the integrity test from Job 31 - you'll never hear this chapter expounded from pulpits in America.

The Cross Alone, Only His Precious Blood, Worthy is The Lamb!

Do your best today to make someone Happy around you.

Think clean, Talk clean, Drink and Eat clean, Live clean; but most importantly, Trust to Christ's Blood alone and enter Eternity clean.

The Cross Alone. *Galatians 6:14*

There's nothing more important than how you make God feel every day.

What matters most is how you treat God today, and those folks right around ya.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder.

Humble + Helpful + Thankful = Joyful 

Don't just make a living, and forget to live for your Maker.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Where prayer is pure and fervent and in Jesus' name, God is present.

Christ, Character, Cross, Conscience, Comforter, Common Sense, Contentment, Creator, Compassion, Calvary, Certainty, Consistent, Christ

Calories + Cubicles + Cholesterol + Couches = Cardiac Arrest

When times get rough, comfort from the Holy Spirit is most needful.

All things were made by The Lord Jesus Christ; and without Him was not anything made that was made. *John 1:3*

Help the helpless, Encourage the hopeless, and Pity the thankless.

And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, 

Do God (Christ Jesus) and your neighbor no harm.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

America Bless God, and then God will bless America.

Jesus loved me anyway.

Divine Aid and Comfort from the Holy Spirit is a daily need.

When reading The Holy Bible, ensure you're led by the Holy Spirit, sprinkled with the Blood, and two bits of common sense won't hurt.

Birds of a feather have to flock together - doves never eat with vultures.

Pray for the Wind to blow. *John 3:8*

Friends help us get through each day.

Humble + Helpful + Thankful = Joyful

Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. 
That's Who you want watching your back.

Cultivate gratitude.

Glory to God in the Highest - Worthy is The Lamb!

It's a great day to be - Alive unto God.

You can't buy Trust, Respect, and Real Hugs. 

With Christ Jesus you'll have Good success, but without *Him*, you're getting nowhere fast.

There's nothing more important than how you make God feel everyday.

Praise be to The Lord Jesus Christ, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

Be an Ability, not a Liability; a Blessing, not a Burden.

Reality and Eternity will eventually catch up with us all.

You can't, but JESUS can.

A Friend is a Soul who sincerely cares about your overall well-being; and when you are struggling or burdened, a Friend will find some way to make life a little less difficult for you. He that hath friends must shew himself friendly.

Be smart and plan for Retirement, but be Wise and plan for Eternity as well.

All Glory be to God in the Highest, I'm Freely Saved by Faith in the Precious Blood of the Crucified and Risen Creator, God manifest in the flesh, The Lord Jesus Christ.

You need blood every day for physical life, and you need *Precious Blood* for Eternal Life. Go directly to the Cross of The Lord Jesus Christ for immediate Divine Help.

Everything needs Rest eventually, especially our Minds. We need to take time to Meditate each day, and give our Minds a break.

Whatever has your extreme devotion (time, money, thoughts, energy) is your God?

Be wise, plan ahead for Retirement and *Eternity*. You might not make it to Retirement, but you will surely make it to Eternity.

Some people love hugging trees, but I love hugging my King James Bible and the American flag.

I'm not on Death Row, I'm on *Life* Row. *John 10:10* 

Jesus Freely and Eternally Pardoned my Guilty soul.

With Christ Jesus as your Guide, you'll have Good success, but without *Him*, you're getting nowhere fast.

Be Wise:  Love with Your Heart, Not with Your Eyes.

God will give you 1,440 minutes today to enjoy Life:  Take at least one of those minutes, and sincerely tell Him Thank You.

Thank You So Much Jesus For Your Goodness and Mercy! But Thanks be to God, which Giveth us *The Victory* through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Cor 15.57 

I Love my life, because my Life is The Lord Jesus Christ. *John 14:6* 

If you don't have the Lord Jesus Christ living in your heart today, you have the worst kind of heart trouble. Without Christ, You are in imminent eternal danger. Please take time today, yield, make an appointment with the *Heavenly Cardiologist*, and He'll freely give you a New Heart

The very best time to entrust your immortal soul with The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is always Right Now.

The Blessed Poverty -
The Poor in Spirit -
The Contrite Ones.

Only God knows the real you.

Childlike faith in the Precious Blood of The Lord Jesus Christ will get you Heaven bound. 

When in doubt or fear, Always Remember The Eight Golden Words: *Faith In His Blood*, and *Worthy Is The Lamb*.

Whatever You *Desire*, and Whatever You *Delight* in Today, Will Determine Your *Peace* of Mind.

Big Hearts look out for everybody else but number one.

Without Jesus, this life is a miserable existence; but with Him, it's Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory.

I'm just THE KING OF KINGS' helper, that's all.

If you wanna know the Truth, you have to go straight to the Source - His name is Christ Jesus, God manifest in the flesh. *John 14:6*

As Clear As Day

I am so Glad that God saves sinners like me.  A lost soul is like a very sick man, bedridden due to an illness, the deadly disease of sin is so far advanced in him that his soul is without strength to help itself.  No power remains in him, even to lift a finger, he can barely even open his eyes. No strength remains to rid himself of his deadly illness, and he doesn't even desire to be rid of his sickness. The soul that sinneth, it shall die eternally. The soul cannot save itself from the love of sin and darkness, and even if he could, insanely he chooses not to be healed. His whole head is sick and his whole heart is faint.  

Like a man sinking slowly in quicksand, there is no way you can escape from sin in your own power.  Just as your body can only find Relief from a painful toothache at the dentist's office, your soul can only find Relief from the plague of Sin at the Cross. Human nature loves the evil which is slowly destroying the soul. This ailment is not physical or mental, but moral and spiritual. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners who are guilty before their Creator.  The human ear has never heard a more cheering and saving truth than this:  Christ died for the ungodly, which are thoughtless about God, very vile, thoroughly wicked, and full of arrogant unbelief.  

Christ Jesus, the Son of God, God over all, JEHOVAH manifest in the flesh, the Creator of heaven and Earth:  the Almighty out of Infinite Love stooped to become a human being and bled and died in your place to suffer the eternal punishment due to your sins.  In Him there was no sin, nor could there be, His mission and passion was to save the wicked from themselves. The Holy Spirit is the true destroyer of evil deep in the human heart, for He abhors iniquity.  The Lord Jesus Christ alone can redeem us from the penalty of our sins. His Atoning Sacrifice is the Miracle of Miracles we need so desperately.  Christ Jesus was sent on a divine errand with full credentials from the Father Himself. Christ died literally, He really bled to death, and laid down His life for us, gave up the ghost, and commended His spirit back to His Father.

This is an indisputably clear Truth -- Divine Justice was poured out on the Lamb of God for my soul's sake.  His death was most terrible, he was blameless, yet He died the death of a criminal between two thieves on Calvary.  He was condemned by a howling mob: malicious gazes, scornful glances and cruel jeering broke the Savior's heart as He died in agony.  Cruelly inventive taunts and blasphemies were hurled at Him as He breathed out His last few breaths. He hung on the Cross naked with bleeding wounds for your soul, enduring a devouring thirst and unspeakable torment in the hot sun.  The most deadly death He endured, for He bore our sins and the wrath of God in our place.  Is your naked soul presently covered with the merits of the blood of Christ? It will do you absolutely no good to go through a bunch of religious motiions if you have not been born again within through the power of the Holy Ghost and Blood of the Lamb of God.

Christ died for the ungodly: the ungodly are those souls that have no thoughts about God through their days or weeks, they don't bring God into their daily decisions, they are not mindful of God's presence, or even thankful to Him. The ungodly simply forget God and leave Him out of their life. They have no true love for God, His Son, or His words.  But Jesus still came to seek and save that which was lost.  If you neglect Jesus Christ, your condition will only develop into a deeper damnation. Your benighted soul needs the Light of the world; Your starving heart needs the Bread of Life. Every imagination of the thoughts of a man's heart is only evil continually. Only the Precious Blood of the Incarnate Creator can cleanse the heart reach deeper than the stain of human sin has gone.  That which sinful man could not do for himself, God has done perfectly, for the Blood Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin.

Here is your dreadful diagnosis:  Without God in this present evil world, having no hope, aliens and strangers wandering in the darkness, enemies in your heart to the Creator, dead in trespasses and sins, corrupt and prone to mischief, without Christ, utterly and hopelessly lost. Just like a shipwreck victim floating on a piece of wreckage in the dark sea with nothing to drink or eat; you must be rescued, or you are doomed.  Jesus died for you out of pure pity and selfless benevolence.  Our sins are repulsive to our holy Creator.  We are fallen, miserable wretches in His sight.  God saves us for Jesus' sake, according to His lovingkindness, tender mercies, and gentle pity, not due to admiration or merit on our part.

The Precious Blood is the only Medicine for our soul's diseases.  Sin has many variants and it is constantly mutating and spreading to souls everywhere.  Sin is no respecter of persons, for it seeks to kill and destroy everyone in its path. We cannot cope with our soul's sickness, we must dial 911, cry out for help, seek the divine aid of the Great Heavenly Physician, for He is our only Cure.  There was a dreadful Penalty that had to be paid for my sins, that I committed against God Himself. Only the Precious Blood can wash away the heinous stains of my sins.  His sinless death is the only Atonement for the guilty; His death is for those who by nature are Ungodly. Full free pardon is only for the guilty and ungodly.  Christ died for me, for I am really guilty and ungodly indeed.  

Only the Precious Blood can cleanse your polluted inward nature. If you need a new heart and right spirit, the Gospel of Christ is for you.  Only the Holy Spirit can regenerate your soul from the death of sin.  The broom of the Law must first sweep our heart, and the candle of the commandments must search the dark corners of our soul and clearly reveal to us our sinfulness. Only after that will you seek the Savior's Help.  The Holy Spirit must show you your sick soul's blood work, and only then will you humble yourself and seek the Physician's aid.  He fills the hungry soul with good things, but the rich (self-righteous, smart alecks) He sends away empty.  While your soul remains in its natural state, undone and unconverted, you are in peril and great danger.  You are in such peril, that only the pierced scarred hands of the Lamb of God can rescue you.

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, bore the bloody sweat, the piercing crown of thorns, the nails and spear, the scorn and shame, Sin and Death itself.  Your soul presently has a solemn need and is in imminent peril without Christ.  You are currently under the wrath of God, you must surely die sooner or later, and then as surely as you live and breathe in this moment of time, you will be lost forever and be driven from the presence of God into an everlasting punishment.  

Now understand: The Cross of Christ is the Danger sign for your soul here in time, for it warns you that God spared not His own Son, and He will not spare you.  Sure and sudden destruction awaits your soul in a Christless Eternity.  We all gradually make it into Eternity:  Vitality, Infirmity, Frailty, Mortality, Reality, and then Eternity!  Infinite agonies were suffered by Jesus to save you from Hell.  There is a battle raging very fiercely every day for your immortal soul.  

Salvation is a dire necessity, for God spared not His own Son, but freely delivered Him up for us All.  O what a Miracle of Love was displayed at Calvary.  If you ever enter Heaven, it will be solely because the Incarnate Creator bled out His sinless life's blood for you, especially. Don't let another day go by and remain lost in your sins.

Your soul's sure and eternal Safety is only found in the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves us, only because He loves us, not because we are any good.  His Heart is full of pity towards you today, He is not willing that any should perish in their sins. "Perish" means to die eternally. Your soul will either live or die eternally somewhere out in Eternity, that is your personal choice to make.  Believe in the Glorious Gospel of the Grace of God, trust to Christ's Precious Blood alone, Close at once with Christ Himself, really know and truly trust Him.  

The qualification for admission to the Emergency Room at any hospital is to be severely sick or injured. Your perilous condition convinces the doctor to receive you at once. The fitting person for Charity is one who is helpless and in abject poverty.  Don't pretend to be righteous, or dream that you are better than others, for you are as full of badness as the ocean is full of salt. We have no grounds for boasting, or to say, "See how good I am everyone."

Never think lightly of your sins against God, don't dilly dally with your soul.  Utterly abhor the sins that caused great suffering to the Lamb of God.  A knife that is rusted over with bloody gore used by a murderer to kill your mother, or wife, or child would never be played with by you. You could not endure the sight of such a deadly weapon that was stained with the blood of your loved one.  However, your sins are the daggers that stab the Savior's heart.  Sin is an abomination to every soul who has been redeemed by the Lamb of God's Atoning Blood Sacrifice. Only Mercy melts hearts of stone.

Lord Jesus, please save me now, for I am ungodly.  Years and years I have spent in vanity and pride caring not that you were Crucified for me.  Cleave to the Saviour now as you would desperately cling to a life ring in the midst of a stormy sea.  Humbly ask Jesus to give you a new heart, new desires, new appetites that will please Him. Trust now in the mercies of God through the atoning bloody death of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The most heinous offense in God's sight is the rejection of the sacrifice of His dear Son.  The greatest Criminality under heaven is to reject and avoid the Lamb of God.  

The Highest Love ever is that the Incarnate Creator in the person of Jesus Christ bled to death to save lost sinners, just like you, just like me. Human nature hates God so much that it will reject Christ even as He is dying to save them from dire depravity and desperate rebellion. Do not harden your heart against the merciful Savior; Do not reject Christ and call God a liar to His face. There is no better news than what you are reading, the message of infinity mercy from the third heaven delivered here just for you. For your own soul's sake, lay firm hold on Christ Jesus Himself and eternal life at once, this very moment.  Turn off your TV, Put down your cell phone, Focus your mind and heart on the Savior, Seek ye the Lord Jesus Christ while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. For Jesus' Sake, Amen.

The DESIRE Of All Nations

Comfort ye, Comfort ye my people, saith your God.  Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.  The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.  Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:  And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.  

For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;  And I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the Way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.  But who may abide the day of His coming? and who shall stand when He appeareth? For He is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:  And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!  Arise, shine; for thy Light is come, and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His Glory shall be seen upon thee.  And the Gentiles shall come to thy Light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great Light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the Light shined.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; and He shall speak Peace unto the heathen: and His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.   

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you Rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find Rest unto your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. I gave my back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting.  Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to His own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

All they that see Me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the Lord that He would deliver him: let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him. Reproach hath broken My heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto My sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger. He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken.

For thou wilt not leave My soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when He bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive: Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed, saying,  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, 

Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.  

And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.  For since by man came death, by Man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in Victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.  And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.  

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever.  And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.  

Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.  

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 

Amen.

Glorying Only In The CROSS

God forbid that I should "glory" save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Galatians 6:14  The term "Cross" is a divine synonym for the Sinless Substitutionary Blood Atonement of the Lamb of God for human sin.  The doctrine of the Atonement is almost forgotten and scarcely mentioned in most churches today.  Christ Jesus came into world to save sinners from the wrath of God; He was once offered to bear the sins of the whole world; God hath set Jesus forth to be the Propitiation for our sins. When we were yet without strength, Christ died for the ungodly. Now once in the end of the world hath Jesus appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.  Now understand - The Lamb of God Himself shed His own Precious Life's Blood to save my lost sinful soul.  Jesus the debt of my sins fully paid; He paid the Ransom for me. 

Why did they nail Jesus of Nazareth, God manifest in the flesh, to Calvary's tree? The Answer: He was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities; He was led to the slaughter at Calvary for me.  Christ Jesus is mighty to Save; He will heed the despairing sinner's cry, and attend unto the lost soul's prayer, and come with tender Compassion and save your soul immediately on the spot.

I always want to bring the Precious Blood to the forefront of your mind's thoughts and try to bring your full attention to the Lamb who bled and died on Calvary.  A full Atonement for human sins has been made, and the utmost Ransom has been paid in full. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a Curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth upon a tree.  On Calvary's Cross, He was the Just dying for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.  The Innocent Lamb of God bore the crimes of the guilty, so we could be forgiven freely and be forever accepted in the Beloved. Fix your Faith in the Cross, for only Jesus can fix your broken soul. On the fair pages of the Holy Bible, the Gospel of the Grace of God that creates saving faith in the heart of the sinner can still be found.

Whosoever believeth in Jesus is justified from all sin, and in that moment, the sinner is forgiven, justified, and adopted. Salvation is not of your doings, or of your superstitious ceremonies, but simply and alone by an act of trusting to Jesus Himself, and relying on His finished Atonement for your sins. If your faith is not His most Precious Blood, you missed the mark altogether. 

Men and women will always glory in something or brag about themselves.  Just like a bird that sings in the trees, a man sings about himself to his own shame.  Men will boast in something or other, because we are full of vain glory.  Men glory in the mere emptiness of themselves and in the things of this world.  Some glory in their physical strength or beauty, or in their gold, which is nothing more that refined clay.  Some men glory in their intellectual gifts and talents in which they have been entrusted.  The money entrusted to our stewardship we sometimes think these finances belong to ourselves, and we rob God of his glory.

The all-sufficient Atonement stirs up the carnal and religious mind to enmity against God. I believe in the Cross, the whole Cross, and Nothing but the Cross.  So called preachers today, hide the Atonement and conceal the Cross from hopeless sinners. Only the Blood of Jesus can do hopeless sinners good. 

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear this:  He that glorieth, let him glory only in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Cross.  My sins are all pardoned, my guilt is all gone, I'm saved by the Blood of the Crucified Creator.  A Great Price has paid my Pardon, God's own Precious Son. 

To live to your own personal glory is a complete waste of your life. Please don't be foolish and perish glorying in earthly things.  Do not throw your soul away in the garbage heap of Eternity for this world's applause and men's praise.  Don't strive for satisfaction and success in this world's fleeting trifles.  Sin's one and only remedy is found in the five bleeding wounds Jesus received on Calvary. The Cross is all your soul needs for True Rest, Divine Security, Full Satisfaction, Perfect Peace and Joy Unspeakable.  Simply Gaze upon the Cross until your soul is fully healed.  The Atonement is the only Pillow where your weary head can rest. Wheat or chaff, Bread or husks, Medicine or poison, Home or desolate wilderness, it's your choice. Jesus stood in my place, bore my sins, and put my sins away forever.  He loved me, and gave Himself for me. 

The focus of the world's mockery is always the Cross, but the very core and essence of Biblical Christianity is God's Incarnate's Precious Blood that was shed on Calvary's Cross. The Lord Jesus is the only real substitutionary sacrifice for human guilt and the vindication of divine justice; He is great Substitute that your guilty soul is looking for so desperately.  Only Jesus' blood has sin-removing power.  The filthiest and vilest sinners are always welcome at the Cross. Jesus' love was poured out at Calvary from His own heart's Blood. 

Be wise now and understand, we do not glory in the Incarnation of Christ, even though the angels from heaven sang "Glory to God in the Highest" when Jesus was born in Bethlehem.  We do not glory in the Life of Christ, even though He lived a benevolent and sinless life.  We do not glory in the Resurrection of Christ, even though this is the only hope for a dying world. We do not glory in the Ascension of Christ, even though He victoriously led captivity captive and sat down on the right hand of God. We do not glory in the Second Advent of Christ, even though one day He will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trump of God, and take all of His saints to be with Him forever.  We do not glory in the Words of Christ, even though through these words we believe on The Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.  Our soul's free and eternal Salvation hinges and pivots solely upon the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ upon the Cross.

"Cross" = The Sinless Substitutionary Blood Atonement of the Lamb of God for human sin. 

Justified Through Faith in His Blood - Worthy is The Lamb!

Thank you Lord Jesus for Saving my soul, 

Thank you Lord Jesus for making me Whole, 

Thank you Lord Jesus for giving to me thy Great Salvation so Rich and Free.

*For Us*

Christ died for us (Romans 5:8); 

The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:26); 

Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us (I Corinthians 5:7); 

Who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34); God spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all (Romans 8:32); 

God hath made Jesus to be Sin for us (II Corinthians 5:21); 

Who gave Himself for us (Titus 2:14); 

Christ being made a Curse for us (Galatians 3:13); 

Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:2);

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus (Hebrews 6:20); 

Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the Sin of the world; 

By His own Blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained Eternal Redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12); 

Christ hath suffered for us (I Peter 2:21); 

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us (I John 3:16); but God raised Him from the dead. Immanuel (God with us) endured and satisfied the wrath of God for us, and now we can be Eternally and Freely Justified by Faith in His innocent, Precious Blood.  

Be wise now: Trust Christ Jesus' Precious Blood and Perfect Righteousness, not your water and works.
