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

BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND...

PROVERBS 3:5-8...
5/   Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not;

6/   In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.

7/   Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the LORD and turn away from evil;

8/   This will mean health for your flesh and vigor for your bones.


Another day is given to us! A day of many occurrences, some good, some bad, some mid-linear! Whatever the day brings forth, IS in DIVINE order, just as *GOD* has WILLED it! IF we could understand HIS WILL, and, stop resisting, or, testing HIS WILL, our lives would flow much easier, for we could then, deal with what comes our way, without the notion of having power to change what is to be!!!

We have power to alter ourselves, but, not events! We THINK we have powers to alter many things in life, but, ONLY *GOD* has such powers! We are not quite able to alter ourselves, let alone what shall be, so, why do we waste so much time attempting to do so???

For instance, the Sun is not shining today; this might affect many people, in various ways, but, there is NOTHING to be done about it, it is out of our control, SO, instead of fretting over this fact, we SHOULD be concentrating on one thing, PLEASING THE LORD, our *GOD*, for THIS is what we have been born to do! In that pleasing of *GOD*, IS MUCH to be considered, and, done! We have so much to learn, from fear of HIM, to LOVE of all mankind, and, all in between! We have been given free will, not to encourage us to take on power we are not equipped for, but, to make things right, from within, then, outwardly to the world! We DO have some powers to alter conditions of the world, which we do NOT use, instead, we seek to use powers we are not privy to!!!

No matter how mature you are, spiritually, there is more growth to come, as, who can EVER come close enough to being the person *GOD* WILLED us to be, especially since most of us get a VERY late start, as we tend to become one with the world, BEFORE we see the need to align to HIM! So, you see, we would be better off using the powers we do have to right the self, as, it is a major undertaking! We are flawed in countless ways, DUE to the world into which we have been born, the human precepts we are inclined to, OVER HIS precepts. See what I mean???

Any person who thinks that they are safe, and, do NOT need to tap into the righteousness of their deep being, are misinformed, and, misunderstanding our role in life! We WERE born to SERVE *GOD*, to GLORIFY HIS name, BY becoming as perfect in our imperfections as is feasible, that HE IS GLORIFIED THROUGH us, as EVIDENCE to the deceiver of HIS ALMIGHTINESS! EVEN the most educated professor in the world, must CONSTANTLY CONTINUE to learn, that they are ever advancing!!!

Today IS a day to renew the wholesome you, deep within! Today IS the day to GLORIFY *GOD* BY, and, THROUGH your thoughts, actions, and, reactions, always aiming to IMPROVE upon yourself for HIS sake! Today IS the first day of the rest of your life, the life HE gave unto you, to USE honourably in rightful respect of HIM, and, ALL which is OF HIM! Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may NEVER be, as, ONLY HE knows the hours of your life, thus, TODAY IS THE DAY to make things right with HIM, in EVERY way you can! RETURN to HIM in entirety, body, mind, and, spirit, that HE IS HONOURED before the world, it's principalities, authorities, and, powers, that ALL, and, EVERYTHING in this day, bears witness to HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAY, and, the awesome properties of the MIGHT OF HIS LOVE, working THROUGH you, as a living example!!!

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
