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

A THOUGHT A DAY: PERFECTING THROUGH WISDOM...

I no longer want to be anything but what the LORD, *GOD* WILLS of me,
All else is vain;  full of the world's trickery, egocentricity, and, debauchery!
It is only through perfecting my being, in alignment to HIM, that I shall find,
Freedom from that which will bind,
And, that which would rather, my soul be left behind...

Many of us believe that we can live as we like, and yet, be saved; which, IF you are living in *GOD'S* WAY, could very well be, however, without great efforts, how many of us, naturally, live in HIS WAYS? The natural plane is far removed from the spiritual/Heavenly plane, for good reasons, many of which remain a mystery to us, but, we are forewarned, and, commanded to follow the instructions within HIS WORD, that understanding begins to turn to Wisdom, which will lead to knowledge OF HIS WAYS, that we are spared the traps the world lays before us!!!

FAITH without WORKS is like not having FAITH, but, we CAN alter our behaviours, characters, and, minds to better align with what is expected of us, as, our salvation was NOT without price! That price is correction, obedience, alignment, adherence, endurance, perseverance, patience, tolerance, and, LIVING in LOVE! How many of us, ACTUALLY, live in that LOVE which *GOD* implies that we should live in, OR, live in the state of existence as is listed above? So, you see, salvation requires deliberate efforts on our part, that it is secured, REMEMBER, *GOD* has not spared some of HIS own Angels, therefore, HE IS selectively choosing the cream of the crop, so to speak! But, that should not bring doubt, nor, fear to you, instead, it should INSPIRE you to betterment, from within to without, and, to understanding HIS WORLD, as opposed to this world! Know that ALL things in this world are temporal, and, fleeting, but, that in HIS WORLD is eternal, and, lasting, inclusive to ONLY wholesome goodness!!!

I would rather endure living a life different from that which the world taught me, incorrectly, than to perish because of it! I would rather *GOD* lead me, than faulty, erroneous standards of this life! I would rather be consistent, and, constant in my EFFORTS to align to HIM, than to be two-stepping along the way! I KNOW, and, HE KNOWS, it IS VERY confusing, and, confounding, that is part of the hold the world has upon us, but, IF you use your LOGICAL, and, CONSCIOUS mind in considering the options, you will SEE that HIS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY, and, HOLDS MUCH BENEFIT, even in the NOW!!!

My life before my awareness, was of this world; which, also, was for reason, as, I had MUCH to LEARN, for which, I am grateful, and, have few regrets, HOWEVER, upon awakening from the hindering shrouds placed to keep me sleepy, I discovered that *GOD'S* WAY holds WAY MORE sense than does the imbalanced structure of human living! Thus, I became more, and, more, engrossed in finding the differences which would AID me in growing TOWARDS HIM, and, teach me to leave the world behind, which is, little by little, occurring, causing me to FEEL HIM, and, the benefits of doing so! PRAISE *GOD* for HIS GENIUS plan to rescue us from ourselves, and, the stumbling blocks placed in our path! HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE *GODHEAD* for it's perfection in ALL matters! 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!!!

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
