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

LOVE (CARE) FOR ONE ANOTHER...


LOVE does NOT allow for people to be homeless, nor, hungry, nor, impoverished beyond means, because, LOVE provides ALL needs for ALL people! Now, LOTS of you will say that *GOD* is LOVE, therefore, HE should provide, but, HE does, YET, HE expects US to EXHIBIT our embracing of LOVE, BY SHARING what we have WITH others!!!

There is a terrible mindset in this generation that if someone cannot make their way, they are a loser, but, these are tough times, especially, given the size of the world's population, and, the economical downturns of many countries! And, who are you to judge what has become of a person? LOTS of people worked hard their whole lives, then, because of the current situation, lost all they worked for, for various reasons, so, be careful with your judgements!!!

Tearfully, I am writing this; CARE FOR YOUR FELLOW BEING! Reach out, and, care for others! Provide for one another, it IS THE LAW OF LOVE!!!

The CHRISTIAN COMM'UNITY' was set up by CHRIST, whom, told us to give up/share, our worldly possessions, that NO ONE is left without! This makes GREAT sense, and, ADDS to us; because, what goes around, comes around! Not only that, but, in a world where everyone is provided for, LOVE FLOURISHES, just as *GOD* WISHES it to be, which, in turn, finds us BLESSED beyond imagining!!!

Things that make the most sense, and, provide solutions, for this world, are the very things we ignore, defy, deny, and, turn our backs on! WHY is this? Quite frankly, because deception is ruling us; we are NOT living in *GOD*/CHRIST, otherwise, we would embrace, and, utilize, the instructions we are given!!!

DON'T be like the rest of the world; BE LIKE JESUS! Create a visual comm'unity' in your mind, patterned on HIS example, and, you will SEE it's necessity, and, it's far reaching benefits, for one, and, for all!!!

CHRIST, our LORD, talking to a wealthy Man:
MARK 10:21...
And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.

The Man went away very sad, because he was very wealthy, but, the point is, what we have is not ours to begin with, *GOD* PROVIDED this for us, and, WANTS us to SHARE what we have, that NO ONE is left without! In the same way, we are to care for the Earth, and, it's inhabitants! It IS the EVIDENCE OF THE LOVE we hold for HIM, that, we CARE for ALL!!!

In today's world, Churches cannot provide for all, and, Governments don't concern themselves with poverty, lack, or, need, THUS, PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, MUST take up the YOKE of CHRIST, and, PROVIDE for ONE ANOTHER! There is NO other way; we CANNOT sit idle, and, complacent, expecting miracles if we don't contribute!!!

I DETEST human suffering, especially, the kind that comes from being homeless, and, hungry, BECAUSE THERE IS enough money, and, provisions therein, FOR ALL!!!

There are LOTS of ways to contribute; you only have to WANT to do so! Let your character, and, conscience, be your guide, IN THE NAME OF *GOD*/CHRIST, and, you can do far more than you imagine!!!

We face problems, such as dishonest distributors of monies/contributions raised, and, other such, but, there ARE ways to alleviate the burden of many! Creativity, and, researching, can turn up amazing inspirations!!!

BE GOOD, and, DO GOOD; this applies to ALL areas of life, but, in the WHOLE of LOVE, PROVES our alignment TO *GOD*/CHRIST, and, SERVES us ALL! LOVE not in theory, or, generalities, but, in extremes, and, actions; LOVE IS THE ANTIDOTE to the world's problems, says *GOD*, thus, I BELIEVE it is so!!!

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
