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

NEGATIVITY IS NOT OF *GOD*...

ALL forms of negativity, lead the way to sin! This includes, bias, prejudice, being judgemental, rash, arrogant, abrasive, temperamental, and, ANY thought, action, or, reaction, which REMOVE you from *GODLINESS*, and/or, LOVE! Our commandments are to LOVE *GOD* BEFORE all else, to LOVE ourselves as we would *GOD*, then, to LOVE one another in the same way(s)! Therefore, anything AGAINST LOVE itself, is an open invitation to sin, as it LEADS us to think, act, and, react, in ways which CREATE dissension, anger, frustration, or, any, or, all of those UNHEALTHY NEGATIVITY'S devised by the evil serpent, that, he IS able to lead us astray, simply, easily; void of, instant recognition TO what we are becoming one with!!!

Let's take prejudice for example, which, in this late date of time, IS prevalent, and, even, rampant! Now, while some have altered their behaviours towards certain ethnic groups, those ethnic groups whose ANCESTORS suffered, have taken it upon themselves, to repay the ANCESTORS of those who inflicted suffering, long ago, by, hating these people, and, even, in hospitals, and, such, providing mediocre care for those people they have decided are responsible, which, IN FACT, IS SINFUL, and, living in sin, for they are NOT standing IN LOVE, of which, part of is, FORGIVENESS, and, BROTHERHOOD! PLUS, they are REPAYING evil with evil, which IS, just as sinful as it gets, AND, NEVER does repaying evil for evil, aid in anything good, instead, aids in MORE bad, as it fuels itself, through the disease of negativity, in which, resides ALL UNHEALTHY thought, action, and, reaction; doing NOTHING, but, prolonging, and, enticing that which is NOT OF *GOD*!!!

We, the world, NEED to understand LOVE, and, what that constitutes in a lifetime! LOVE IS ALL THINGS WHOLESOMELY GOOD, AND, IS FOR THE GOOD OF THE CONTINUANCE OF EXISTENCE, IN ALL WAYS, ALWAYS PAYING ITSELF FORWARD FOR THE GENERAL GOOD OF ALL IN IT'S PATH, and, PERIMETERS! NOTHING NEGATIVE EXISTS IN LOVE, NOTHING AT ALL!!!

When *GOD* CREATED existence, there was NO NEGATIVITY! Then, comes Satan, who, through elevated mentality, free will, jealousy, and, arrogance, turned the LOVE he was CREATED in, into a contest of wills, against LOVE itself, vowing that he has just as much power as does LOVE/*GOD*! He HOPES that he WILL be able to take from LOVE, many souls, THROUGH anti-LOVE tactics, to SHOW *GOD* that HIS LOVE was wrongfully used in the CREATION of humanity! The evil deceiver, detests humanity, as well as, the LOVE *GOD* poured forth upon mankind; he is jealous of that LOVE, and, because he was CREATED in greater knowledge than, were we, he insists on PROVING that we are NOTHING to warrant the LOVE *GOD* so freely gave/gives us! Thus, it IS IMPERATIVE, people, to REMEMBER that ALL incidents of negative behaviours, and, characteristics, are NOT of *GOD*; they are NOT NORMAL; INSTEAD, they are PLOYS USED BY THE DECEIVER, to lead us ASTRAY, from the wholesome goodness, and, all of it's benevolence, of LOVE! Each time you feel something negative taking over you, FIGHT IT, and, REMAIN IN the state of LOVE, for IN THAT STATE OF LOVE, IS VICTORY OVER the evil ruler of the Earth, thus, salvation!!!

So difficult is the simplicity of the above message, for humanity to grasp, as we are raised in emotionalism, reactionary displays, temperamental thoughts, and, egocentric delusion, which we FEEL makes it the way it is! It is NOT how *GOD* intended for us, or, life to be! The evil ruler is CHALLENGING *GOD* all the way to his own demise, taking down as many as he can, with him, all for the sake of vain, egocentrically based, desire to raise himself above *GOD*!!!

I have learned many lessons along the way, having suffered at the hands of the infliction of unending afflictions, based on keeping me away from *GOD*! I UNDERSTAND, now, how thought, action, and, reaction, work, in terms of determining our lives, and, our end! I SEE that great knowledge, wisdom, compliance, and, determination, ARE necessary, to fend off the attempts of the evil of the world, and, to keep me in the GRACE of *GOD*! I NOW know that HOW I think, act, and, react, ARE the measures of WHO I am, from the soul, outwardly, though, I am FAR from having perfected such, especially, in the area of REACTING, as, I, still, react, even though I KNOW that it is wrong; of course, I try to remember to repent for my reactions, because, even if, those reactions are mild, they, SURELY, ARE playing into the hand of deception! I pray, daily, hoping, I HAVE LEARNED enough, that my efforts NOW, cover up for the ignorance of times past, for, I LIVE FOR *GOD*, and so, to be MORE LIKE HIM, has become, the nature of the development, of my being!!!

More to come; the invisible line to sin, is a VERY tricky one, with lots of obscurity, deception, ignorance, misconception, other obstacles, blinding us to it's dangers, and, requires breaking down many factors, components, aspects, and, other matter, to effectively, allow LIGHT to REVEAL it's dangers, however subtle they might be, at ANY point of contact!!!...

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...

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:
