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

LIFE IS NOT A FAIRY TALE, LIFE IS *GOD*...

Life is not a fairy tale, it is not all wonderful, in fact, there is an enormous amount of unpleasantry, but, it is what it is, for reasons of the Heavenly kind! There is no magic formula, no magic potion, no magical whisking away, of the less than perfect, in fact, that less than perfect HAS the power to make your life better, believe it, or, not!!!

*GOD* has set forth for us, the balance, that we GROW of our experiences in this life, and, it is said, which I believe, that HE gives us nothing we cannot handle, PLUS, you must realize, by now, that every challenge shapes you into a more worthy being!?!

Our time here is not of lying upon a bed of rose petals, though, with effort, we could do so! You see, WITH effort, we come a point of realizing that which is most beneficial, and, that which is most imperative, as we struggle to become what *GOD* intended for us to be! We are caught in the midst of a battle, between the Earthly ruler, and, *GOD*, one which ensures that our lives will be full of character altering, character building, instances, that SHOULD aid us into recognizing TRUTH, above all else! As time goes by, we begin to AWAKEN to the FACT that this life is more a testing ground of the FAITHFUL, than, anything else. This does not mean that there is no good in this life, there is immense good, but, that good is most appreciated, heralded, and, utilized, BY those whom HAVE endured quite a bit, and, have remained FAITHFUL, strong, courageous, and, filled by HOLINESS, along the way to victory!!!

*GOD* IS the answer to all dilemma, to all rude interruptions in our lives! HE, alone, holds all resolve, thus, it is wise to place HIM foremost in our lives, and, beings; that HIS unleashing provides that which we are lacking, missing, seeking, and, needing! *GOD* has it ALL under control, and, TO the FAITHFUL, HE gives many comforts, despite the war which rages on, around them! Turn to HIM with your WHOLE heart, your whole mind, your whole surrender, and, succumb to HIS most BLESSED WAYS, for HE, surely, holds the TRUE measure of all joy we might find in our journey in this mortal world, and, the supernatural advancement, into the eternal world!!!

Saying, and, thinking, are not enough when coming to *GOD*; we have to understand HIM, and, HIS world, which is only done by diligent study, understanding, embracing, and, utilization of HIS WORD, as, HIS WORD, IS the ticket to paradise, to that bed of rose petals, to ALL things, good, and, wonderful; still, KNOW that even when you are HIGHLY favoured, and, BLESSED, the reality of this world shall yet exist, and, will be all around you!!!

You can't run from the less than perfect, it is there for reason! It is there to perfect the less than perfect! It is there for *GOD* to SHINE above all else! It is there to SHOW you that the ONLY WAY, IS HIS WAY! Many hold onto the worst that has presented itself to them, this is becoming lost in the world! When things are bad, when things happen, you must lift UP, and, rely on *GOD*, WHILE, releasing the holds those things have, or, have had on you! You see, when you retain the pain, the anguish, the negative, the enemy of *GOD* has had a victory over HIM, and so, we must learn to deal with such things from a *GODLY* sense, and, turn to HIM, for that which we cannot manage alone!!!

No, life is NOT a fairy tale, it is far from it, but, with *GOD*, it can be turned into a life of favour; you only need to TRUST HIM with your entirety, and, allow HIM to BE, as, truth is, HE IS ALL there is anyway, the rest is, merely, the proving ground between right, and, wrong! Don't be disillusioned by the less than perfect, be glad that it has DIVINE reason, and, don't cling to what it leaves in it's wake, for that is the snare of deception! Instead, turn this into something good, and, allow the lessons therein, to further your state of *GODLINESS*, in other words, as is written, endure, cheerfully, for what we suffer in this short span of time, opens up to a most glorious, and, pleasing, inheritance!!!

Our LORD is the KING of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, holding powers undetermined; ONLY HE has the infinite storehouse of ALL things optimal, and, the WAY to a life which allows for us to have enough rose petals to, finally, lay in PEACE, upon a bed of them!!!

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
