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

ALWAYS REMEMBER LOVE!!!

I cannot help but cry when I consider what JESUS endured that we might have life! How cruel were those to whom he was subjected, though, HE was not subject to them! How awful the suffering of HIS GIFT! Could ANY of us bear, even in thought, the pain HE went through for us? While there HAVE been some Christian martyr's, it is rare that one would lay down their life for another! But, this is what makes *GOD* PERFECT, while we are not!!!

While EASTER is the celebration of the Resurrection of CHRIST JESUS, the PREMISE of this soul saving event SHOULD be inclusive to our thoughts, EACH day, because, LOVE has GIVEN us the option of eternal life, and, IF we are ONE with CHRIST, in our own death of carnality, then, resurrected through HIM, then, that celebration, and, reverence, should be continuously rejoiced!!!

We are instructed to live in LOVE, a LOVE which spans throughout humanity, which is comprised of compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, patience, kindness, caring, sharing, endurance, perseverance, and, ALL THINGS WHOLESOMELY GOOD FOR THE GOOD OF ALL, and, EVERYTHING, IN the name of *GOD*, but, we fail, day in, and, day out, for we have YET to rid of our carnal confusion, which leads to delusion! ALL HE asks is that we LOVE HIM, self, and, others, and, we cannot even do this! Lack of UNDERSTANDING IS the reason, at least, to some degree, but, this too, is in DIVINE order, and, serves HIM great purpose! But, that does not make it right, nor, will it bind us to CHRIST, for we are NOT living as HE asks us to!!!

To really understand LOVE, you have to step away from human LOVE, and, study HOLY LOVE, which is PURELY GOOD! It is comprised on caring, sharing, aiding, healing, uplifting, encouraging, supporting, forbearance, and, all things which WILL bring the world together IN the name of LOVE! In this HOLY LOVE, there is no incident of hunger, homelessness, or, any other suffering, for LOVE takes care of all in it's existence! WE were given THE WAY as an example, that WE take care of our Brothers, and, Sisters, FOR the GOOD of ALL! Do you recall that JESUS' Disciples/Apostle's, HAD to GIVE everything they owned, OR, give up all they owned to be with HIM? Do you recall that as the group grew, COMMUNAL life WAS THE WAY 'FOR' THE GOOD OF ALL? Do you realize the MASSIVE WISDOM in this? Do you see that IF we LIVED in THIS HOLY LOVE, that NO suffering COULD exist, BECAUSE ALL WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR? Can you see, at all, the sense of *GOD*???

*GOD* LOVES us SO much that HE PROVIDED A WAY for us to give Satan the pink slip, but, how many of use that WAY? How many of us even have an inkling of what this means? How many of us ARE WILLING to TRULY give up our hold, and, the holds OF the world? How many of us are willing to LEARN, then, RETRAIN our carnal, egocentric minds, that we CAN understand, then, become ONE with THE WAY???

Also, because of lack of understanding, many of you do NOT fear the LORD! I do not understand this, as I fear HIM so greatly, as well as respect, and, regard HIM, and, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, that I am DETERMINED to HONOUR HIM with the IMPROVEMENT of my being, ON a daily basis! I do NOT wish to be thrown into the fire, come that day of reckoning, and, HIS WAY HAS instilled in me, the TRUTH of the matter of HOLINESS, to which I ATTEMPT to correlate to, but, of course, will never perfect, but, continually TRY to! THAT is KEY to WHAT HE wants from us: EFFORT!!!

It is the HOLIEST of all seasons, as this is the time when CHRIST died, a torturous death for our salvation, to which we honour in part, but, NOT as we should! Our THANKS, GRATITUDE, APPRECIATION, and, AWE, SHOULD be EVIDENT in our character, our thoughts, our actions, and, our reactions, ALWAYS, IN THE NAME OF LOVE, that HOLY LOVE, which IS VOID of breach, falter, or, anything less than GOODNESS!!!

PRAISE *GOD* for HIS GENIUS GIFT! How incredible is the SACRIFICE of HIMSELF, THROUGH CHRIST, designed from the CORE of a LOVE which is SO incorruptible, it yet exists, despite the fact that we do NOT rush, in complete SURRENDER to it's ALL INCLUSIVE benevolence???

In this EASTER celebration, let us take to HEART, that heart of hearts, the imperatively wondrous gifts which have been bestowed upon us by THIS LOVE, this HOLY LOVE, which is without end, that we begin ANEW, to HONOUR the GREATEST ACT of LOVE ever imagined, by becoming as an example OF this LOVE!!! AMEN!!!

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!!!

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
