SLOW down, take it EASY, read THE WORD with intent, and diligence; give it time to meld into the being; it IS imperative TO allow it to seep into the heart, the spirit, the being!!!

Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!
One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!

We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...
IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!

MATTHEW 5:48...

So be perfect,
just as your heavenly Father is perfect

1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."


ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!

LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!

It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!

MATTHEW 4: 17...
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

JOHN 14:15...
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS!!!

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it...

EVERYBODY PRAISE THE LORD: LINCOLN BREWSTER

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A LIFE FULFILLED: PSALMS 34...

Praise for Deliverance from Troubles
A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abim'elech; who drove him away, and he departed.

1 I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened:
and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.

8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: 1 Pet. 2.3
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints:
for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:
but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 What man is he that desireth life,
and loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil,
and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, 1 Pet. 3.10-12
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth,
and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones:
not one of them is broken. Ex. 12.46 · Num. 9.12 · Joh. 19.36

21 Evil shall slay the wicked:
and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants:
and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

This is a very IMPORTANT Psalm, as it clearly reveals that those who LOVE, TRUST, and, have FAITH in *GOD*, CAN be hopeful for all good things, for HIS promise is to care for those who turn to HIM. Also, this Psalm should be great reference for times of trouble, for herein, there lies the strength of HIS promises, such as they cried unto HIM, and, because they were FAITHFUL, HE heard them, and, provided for them, in all ways, including redeeming their souls, which the world would have ruined, and, taken down into the pit with it...

Too, within this Psalm is clear instruction for becoming one with HIM, indicating that we should Praise HIM, exalt HIS name, fear HIM, trust HIM, and, seek HIM for all of our worldly woes, as well as that we should be wise, keep our mouths clean from distasteful use, be humble in HIS sight, and revere HIM at all times! So, you see, there is MUCH information in this one short Psalm, which, if embraced, opens up to more favor from the LORD *GOD*, for HE so LOVES HIS righteous people!!!

These passages convey what it means to refer to HIM as a rock, for so solid are HIS promises, that you can place your life entirely in HIS hands with full confidence of HIS support for you, and, your life, and, is a great example of HIM being a fortress, for infinite are HIS gifts to the FAITHFUL, endless are the tools HE supplies, and, evermore are the blessings within HIM!!!

Many ARE the afflictions of the righteous, but HE, *GOD* WILL deliver them from it all, because, they exist in HIS every WORD, with a FAITHFUL being, and, with a hopeful spirit full of the PEACE which comes from KNOWING that HE DOES have our back! It is so wonderful to see the ways to HIM, visible for the understanding, for the seeing, for those who are WILLING to receive! How perfect is HIS genius that HE compiled a manual for us to find ways to survive in this chaotic world? It thrills me, fascinates me, and, keeps me ever seeking more that I am enabled further in my walk with HIM!!!

PRAISE *GOD*, our LORD, continually, let thanks, and, gratitude be as your breath, and, let FAITHFUL trust be your course of action, that PEACE is your every step, as you journey this time called life, KNOWING that HE will provide for you in EVERY single instance, with a LOVE for you which is unrelenting, unstoppable, incorruptible, forevermore! AMEN!!! Hallelujah, Alleluia, PRAISE the *GOD* of LOVE!!!

MALACHI 2:7-8...
7/ "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction—because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.
8/ But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty...
When you GIVE HOPE, you find HOPE, and, any time you find HOPE, be sure to GIVE it to someone else!!!
