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... TO *GOD* BE ALL GLORY...

EVERYBODY PRAISE THE LORD: LINCOLN BREWSTER

UNTO HIM GIVE THANKS~~~


Psalms 105:1-2...
1/ Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
2/ Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!


1 Colossians 1:10-14...
10/ so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
11/ being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
12/ and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
13/ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14/ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Give thanks unto the LORD, our *GOD*, not only for that seen, or, received, but, for ALL things, even that known, or, unknown!!!

Also, as we give thanks unto HIM, we must never lose sight of our responsibility to GLORIFYING HIS name, and, the endless bounties, and, gifts HE BLESSES us with, bestows upon us, and, offers as a part of HIS promises to the FAITHFUL! We must embrace the teachings, and, live as ONE with HIM, in thought, and, action, that HE IS exalted over all else, as HE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING!!!

The mere knowledge of HIS existence is reason enough to rejoice, be thankful for, and, to exclaim throughout this life, that ALL people hear the exaltation, and, by example, make the rejoicing as one voice, one cry of gratitude, one proclamation of LOVE for the CREATOR, *GOD*!!!

Too many are only thankful in receiving what they want, denying that they are receiving what they need, in HIS WILL, from HIS LOVE! HIS name should be uplifted hourly, daily, and, through all times, as, HE DOES provide for us, constantly, and, consistently, despite our state of existence! Be grateful unto HIM for life, for every single thing, for ALL belongs to HIM, which, out of LOVE for us, HE shares, that this life is made more endurable!!!

You don't have to touch something for it to exist, nor, do you have to see something for it to be tangible, therefore, be grateful, and, give thanks, because it is sure, HE IS providing for you at all times!!!

As you praise, rejoice, and, give thanks, also, walk in as much righteousness as you can muster, that you are exemplifying HIS name! Give unto others, both of LOVE, and, provisions, and, be a joy towards your fellow persons! Never relent in giving, in any way, which is walking in LOVE, and, more importantly, in HIS WAYS!!!

Bring forth the BEST of self, and, share that with the world, whether they recognize, appreciate, or, reciprocate, does not matter, for you are not living for glory, as, ALL GLORY IS HIS; you are merely being ONE with HIM, and, expounding HIS GRACE, as you, by example, live in HIS WAYS, HIS WILL!!!

Live in LOVE, walk in gratitude, and, give PEACE to all you encounter, even those whom you do not encounter; let HIS WAYS be as your breath, constant, and, vital!!!

Oh, people of the world, give unto HIM, our FATHER, our LORD, our *GOD*, ALL PRAISE, ALL THANKFULNESS, and, shout out HIS name that CREATION resonates HIS name, forever, and, ever!!! AMEN! PRAISE YOU, *GOD*, for YOU ARE the beginning, and, the end, therefore, ALL in between! HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD, our *GOD*!!!

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!!!

By FAITH we sleep, by FAITH we live, by FAITH we keep...lw'12

HOSEA 6:6...
For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts.

(MATTHEW 9:13 & MATTHEW 12)

The world over, needs prayers, day in, day out! LET US PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! Let LOVE be the voice we lift UP to *GOD*! May HE BLESS us, and, may we allow HIM to show us THE WAY!!! PRAISE HIS MIGHTY name, and, GLORIFY HIM in thought, action, and, reaction!!!
The messengers of PEACE, in the heart of LOVE, have been handpicked by the Creator *GOD*, from the ranks of life, for HE knows the effectiveness of using those who have survived the worst, and now understand the best. In this way, the warriors of PEACE & LOVE are empowered, with strength, fortitude, longwithstanding, therefore, enabled to create ripples in the minds, & lives of mankind...

No GREATER LOVE exists:

No GREATER LOVE exists:
as CHRIST JESUS died for me, I, also die in HIM, and, ONLY IN HIM, do I find LIFE...

LOVE ONE ANOTHER---DAN LUEDERS
