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

EVER THANKFUL...


For us, in America, this is Thanksgiving week, which means, time to reflect, be reverent, and, count your BLESSINGS, which, ARE way more than you imagine them to be! You gotta know by know, that PERCEPTION often, leads us to DECEPTION, and, tricks us into a state of negativity!!!

DON'T JUDGE YOUR LIFE BY WHAT YOU LACK, people! That is the deceiver working in you! A BLESSING is NOT always tangible, nor, does it have to have WORLDLY value, in order to BE a BLESSING! Many of *GOD'S* wonders, and, BLESSINGS, are obscure, but, they have GREAT significance! NEVER forget, the more content you are, and, the more BLESSED you feel, the more BLESSINGS find their way to you! This happens for reason; that the GOOD PREVAILS over all else, from the INSIDE OUT!!!

You see, GOODNESS is ruled by POSITIVITY, which IS the gist of CREATION; ALL of CREATION, DESPITE that ole' serpent who has to try to taint what is TRUE, what is RIGHT, what is GOOD! ALL of that negativity that we experience, IS, for the most part, WHAT we have ALLOWED to grow within us! *GODLINESS* does NOT secure itself to that negativity, for in the world of *GOD*, there IS NO negativity! There is NOTHING wrong, as ALL things work, TOGETHER, for the GOOD, of ALL ELSE! This is WHY, come HIS DAY of DAYS, all wrong, all negativity, will be encompassed in an eternal fire; that it NEVER deceives another being in existence!!!

I have been homeless before, I have been hungry before, I have suffered a great number of hardships in my lifetime, and, I KNOW HOW to be happy, content, and, grateful, despite what COULD take me down! For one thing, I have FAITH, in *GOD*, and, myself, and, the INNATE GOODNESS of CREATION! For another thing, I KNOW that whatever is, is, and, what it is, is something to WORK with, and, will LEAD me to better times, which, has PROVEN itself to me! Some things we go through are for *GOD'S* own reasons; things which TEACH us, and, REFINE us, that we are READY for what is to come; that we are STRENGTHENED in the sight of deception, trouble, and, negativity!!!

Up, and, down, my life has taken me, but, I wouldn't exchange it for anything else, as I BELIEVE that ALL this has happened for reason, AND, it has MADE me into the Woman I am today! I have so much, even in my lack! I am in decent health, I have all my limbs, I can see, I can, sort of hear, I have a voice, I can walk, dance, and, jump for joy! I have a nice, warm, safe place to sleep, I have daily food, I have water, I have comfort, I have PEACE, I have LOVE, and, SO much more! How could I NOT be grateful???

I have been close to being wealthy before too, but, know what? It did NOT provide for me the way *GOD* does, nor, is it lasting, so, you might want to consider this...

Each day, I awake, and, as my eyes open, I thank *GOD* for this day, and, ALL therein, and, I MEAN IT! EVEN IF something should occur in this day, that shakes my world, I am, yet, thankful to HIM, for GIVING me this day, and, for what comes of it, because, whether you gather from this day, in this 24 hour period, or, years later, I guarantee, that you WILL gather SOMETHING from each day; something USEFUL, and, IMPERATIVE to the WHOLE OF YOU!!!

Let us be THANKFUL, GRATEFUL, CONTENT, and, BELIEVE that *GOD* has our best interests in mind, at all times, no matter what we are to face! Sit down, and, really consider the bounties you have, WITHOUT comparing to others, or, materialistically, and, you will see, you have a vault of riches, and, BLESSINGS!!!

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
