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

REMAINING WORTHY OF *GOD*...

JOEL 2:11-14...
11/ The LORD raises his voice at the head of his army; For immense indeed is his camp, yes, mighty, and it does his bidding. For great is the day of the LORD, and exceedingly terrible; who can bear it?
12/ Yet even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning;
13/ Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment.
14/ Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and libations for the LORD, your God.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21...
14/ For the love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died.
15/ He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16/ Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer.
17/ So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
18/ And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19/ namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20/ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21/ For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

MATTHEW 6:16-17...
16/ Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
17/ "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.

MATTHEW 6:48...
48/ So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

1 PETER 1:13-16...
13/ Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly, and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
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."

1 PETER 2:9-11...
9/ But you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
10/ Once you were "no people" but now you are God's people; you "had not received mercy" but now you have received mercy.
11/ Beloved, I urge you as aliens and sojourners to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against the soul.

JOHN 15:1-12...
1/ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
2/ He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
3/ You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
4/ Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
5/ I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.
6/ Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned.
7/ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
8/ By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
9/ As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.
10/ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
11/ "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12/ This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.

ROMANS 11:16-21...
16/ If the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole batch of dough; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17/ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,
18/ do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider that you do not support the root; the root supports you.
19/ Indeed you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
20/ That is so. They were broken off because of unbelief, but you are there because of faith. So do not become haughty, but stand in awe.
21/ For if God did not spare the natural branches, (perhaps) he will not spare you either.

And, *GOD* did not spare Angels who sinned, therefore, why should we consider ourselves above the Angels, thinking that we CAN live outside of LOVE, in hate, judgementalism, passion of the wrong kinds, and, all sorts of other characteristics which are NOT CHRIST like, nor, premised on the WORD, *GOD*?!? You MUST, truly, READ, and, digest the WORD in it's entirety, to BECOME a branch of the vine worthy of being kept intact, which, involves effort, diligence, constance, and, consistency, as, you cannot learn enough in one lifetime to become HOLY, but, effort accounts for the MERCIES of *GOD*!!!

Be NOT arrogant in your gift of salvation, nor, haughtily expecting that which you may have lost, through your continued living in the carnal world! KNOW that you HAVE to alter your state of existence to align to *GOD*, for the WORD has CLEARLY set the path before you, and, while it is a straight, and, narrow path, marked by LIGHT, it is not an easy one, as it is reverent, formidable, and, consequential!!!

Think of it like this, the world is dark, and, darkness, filled with searching for things that add sparkle, warmth, and, colour, to that darkness, which, the deceiver, well provides for, in hopes of deluding you. AS Children of *GOD*, the SOLE EXISTENCE of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, YOU are LIGHTS, come to LIGHT up the darkness, as GLORY TO *GOD*, that the deceiver, and, all associated with him, KNOW that *GOD* IS, and, ever more shall be! NOW, LIGHT is PURE ENERGY, premised on POSITIVE matter, and, shines for the GOOD of all! Thus, WE can NOT be examples of *GOD'S* GLORY, with darkness entwined in our LIGHT, instead, that LIGHT must be VOID of any taint of the darkness, that it SHINES BRILLIANTLY for all in existence to bear witness to, that which shouts out, "I AM of *GOD*!", and so, we MUST remove any thing that might lessen the LIGHT, or, the GLORY OF *GOD*, for ONLY IN PURITY, does the LIGHT eradicate, and, overwhelm the darkness; there is NO partial LIGHT, it either is, or, it is not, as *GOD* does NOT share ANY space with ANY thing against HIM!!!

I stand in prayer for all of us, that *GOD* will have MERCY on those who ARE attempting, in more than words, to become worthy of HIS gift, CHRIST JESUS, and, the inheritance HE brought unto us! May we ALWAYS SEE that the LIGHT IS ALL THERE IS, all else is deceptive, therefore, dangerous, to our eternal goal!!!

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!!!

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...
