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 IS THE LAW, THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT...


LOVE IS the substance of ALL in existence, and, IS the empowerment, enhancement, optimization, positivity, goodness, and, wholesomeness of ALL matter! IF we could learn LOVE, as that LOVE of *GOD*, FULLY, we would be as HE CREATED us!!!

ALL of THE WORD, it's Laws, precepts, statutes, and, promises, ARE PREMISED ON LOVE! From the beginning of time, IF the people had been ABLE to embrace the FULLNESS of LOVE, we would yet, exist in Eden! *GOD* IS LOVE, and, LOVE is THE LIGHT of *GOD*, and, IS BENEFICIAL to ALL in CREATION, as, it IS a MIGHTY POWER of RIGHTEOUSNESS, an ENERGY of WHOLESOMENESS, and, a UPHOLDER of GOODNESS! WHEN you begin to ABSORB THE WORD, you begin to RECOGNIZE that LOVE IS the FOUNDATION of ALL which, exists, in ALL regards!!!

Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Noah, Moses, and, David, are exemplary pillars of, having embraced LOVE! They, intrinsically, understood the concept that LOVE is the source, and, force of existence, and, LOVED *GOD* SO MUCH, that, they were ABLE to LIVE IN HIS WILL, without question, hesitation, or, feeling as if they were lacking, because they were devoted to HIM! Therefore, HE moved FREELY amongst them, granting them greatness, BLESSINGS unlimited, while, protecting them, guiding them, directing them, and, caring for them, in ALL ways! *GOD* LOVES us all, yet, those who embrace LOVE, HE endows with MIGHTY favour!!!

The most difficult area of LOVE is, to realize that LOVE is NOT of human origin, and, in fact, the LOVE we experience, and, share, is FAR from the reality of LOVE! The LOVE we experience, and, share, is, tainted, conditioned, unfair, waning, faltering, fickle, and, well, controlled by the oppressor, the slithering evil one, who, from, Eden, has set out, to distort LOVE, and, convince us that *GOD* LOVES us SO much, that even IF we do not exist in LOVE, choosing to exist in that, against LOVE, HE will accept our actions! LOVE DOESN'T work like that! LOVE is PURELY geared TOWARDS the pleasure of another, mainly, towards *GOD*, then, others! LOVE IS NOT SELFISH AT ALL, even though, the self GAINS from LOVE, which, IS the reason, that *GOD* searches our beings, to SEE IF our LOVE is near to it's reality!!!

I LOVE *GOD*, and, SO, I WILL conform TO HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, HIS wishes, and, BECOME as GOOD as I can, that, HIS LOVE, which FILLS me, overflows unto humanity, PROMOTING GOODNESS, and, ALL which, IS RIGHT! It ISN'T labor to me, to conform, abide, adhere, and, become obedient, to HIM; I am THANKFUL to have the opportunity to express my LOVE for HIM, in my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, at the same time, LOVING humanity, as much as is feasible, IN HIS likeness!!!

We have ALL of the necessary information, and, tools to perfect LOVE, yet, our senses are shrouded by deception, delusion, confusion, egocentricity, and, in general, wrong thinking! After ALL we have learned, seen, heard, and, felt, we are as far from LOVE as ever! The sad thing is, it IS within our capacities, and, rights, to LOVE as we should!!!

LOVE is the acceptance that we are NOT superior; we are but, a part of LOVE, and, our function is to PROMOTE LOVE! Next to *GOD*, what are we? Our lives are fleeting, our time is limited, thus, what have we to offer? ONLY LOVE, that LOVE, ITSELF, remains ALL that is, because, LOVE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING! It is humbling oneself from the deception of self-importance, especially, that self-importance, which, places *GOD* somewhere in the background, of our days, instead of, as the FOREFRONT of our days, and, the ONLY TRUTH!!!

We ARE important, and, imperative, TO THE WHOLE OF LOVE, and, to *GOD*, but, not to the self, as deception, would have us to believe, since Eve! The less important we become to self, the more important, we become to *GOD*! Yes, I know, it IS mind bending, but, the reality of it, holds great sensibility!!!

We are told if we think we are something, then, we are nothing! If we think we are wise, we should beg to be foolish, that we become wise, and, so on! You see, if YOU think YOU reign, in ANY realm, you are, truly, mistaken! When YOU, put yourself AFTER *GOD*, and, everyone else, THEN, YOU begin to take on some importance!!!

PAYING IT FORWARD, IS what it is all about, as *GOD* IS to be PROMINENT OVER ALL else, thus, IS LOVE! LOVE is NOT to hoarde, withhold, use as a weapon, nor, as a means of manipulation, nor, as a measure of one's worth! LOVE is to ALWAYS be forwarded, in HOPES of building UP, ALL in CREATION! LOVE is a POWER SOURCE, infinite, and, DIVINE, and, is NOT ours, though, we ARE a significant attribute TO LOVE!!!

Mostly, *GOD* tells us, "Get over yourself, will ya!?", because HE IS THE SUPREME BEING, and, ALL we NEED, to exist! HE IS LOVE, and, IS ALL PROVISIONAL; we have nothing to contribute, but, what HE has given us to contribute, which is, more power to the WHOLE of LOVE, that is, IF we have ANY knowledge of LOVE, at all!!!

LEARN TO LOVE; LOVE IS THE LAW! LOVE is NEVER flighty, it is never foolish, it is never about self, and, IS ALL THERE IS, even, without your cooperation, in it's forwarding of ITSELF! LOVE is the fruit of the spirit, the proving of the righteous!!!

LOVE covers a multitude of sin; it is all empowering, and, is never ending, and, IS the single most imperative lesson to learn, because, WHEN you LOVE, as you SHOULD, you are ONE with *GOD*, safe, free, peaceful, and, ever BLESSED!!!

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
