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

JESUS' FINAL DAYS: INTENTIONAL TEACHINGS...

Let us discuss MATTHEW 24, and, 25...

CHRIST had left the temple area, and, the Disciples pointed out the Temple buildings, to which HE replied, ""You see all these things, do you not? Amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."

As HE was sitting on the Mount of Olives, HIS Disciples began to ask HIM about when this would happen, and, what sign there would be. CHRIST explained to the Disciples, in answer to their question, of WHEN HE would return to Earth, and, what the signs would be. HE tells them of the calamities, the desolating abomination, the false Messiah's, false signs which, will be powerful enough to sway many, and, the great tribulation; warning that ONLY AFTER these things come to pass, the sign of The SON of Man, will appear in Heaven, and, the whole Earth, will mourn; then, will come CHRIST, HIMSELF, whom, will send out HIS Angels, with a trumpet blast, to gather HIS Elect, from the four winds, and, from one end of the Heavens, to the other...

The hour, and, the day, are known to *GOD*, ALONE, not even CHRIST, will know! HE tells us to remain aware, awake, alert, and, be prepared! The righteous will be attending to righteousness, in that time, and, the rest, will be caught off guard! ***MAJOR reason to STAY IN THE WORD, LOVE, and, ever working to improve the spirit!!!

Then, HE went on to explain, in parables, about the necessity, of ALWAYS being prepared, for what is to come...

HE said, that on that day, HE will sit upon HIS throne, before ALL the nations, which, HE will separate, one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep, from the goats. The sheep, will be on the right, the goats on the left, and, HE will say to those on the right, "Come, you who are BLESSED by MY FATHER, Inherit the KINGDOM prepared for you, from the foundation of the world.", and, HE will commend those who cared for, even the least of HIS Brothers. But, those on the left, HE will tell, "Depart from ME, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil, and, his angels.", then, HE will condemn them, for their lack of LOVE, care, and, compassion, for the least of HIS Brothers...

In HIS final days, CHRIST was intent upon sharing THE TRUTH, that it would, as a seed, take root, then, flourish, in the souls of the righteous! HE spoke as no one ever had, nor, ever will again, because, HE SO LOVES us, and, wants us to make the journey to the KINGDOM, safely, intact, and, prepared for what is to come!!!

In the end times, the most FAITHFUL WILL be shaken, ALL will be shaken, and, ONLY the KNOWING, and, PREPARED, WILL remain safe from what is to come! This is WHY we are taught to take the spirit to maturity, develop FAITH unshakable, and, put on the FULL armor of *GOD*, as, in those final times, all distortion will break loose, taking even some of the strongest! THE WORD is KEY to securing the necessary characteristics, behaviours, knowledge, Wisdom, and, provisions, to withstanding those times!!!

IN LOVE, CHRIST came forth, IN LOVE, HE perished! IN LOVE, HE yet, stands FOR us, WITH us, and, as a Mediator! HIS GIFTS are infinite, deliberate, and, desirable, more desirable than anything, in this life, even as one lump sum, could be! We NEED to TRULY understand HIM, and, HIS GIFT(s), in order to make the connection, the conformation, the transition, from life in the flesh, to life in the spirit, which is, and, always shall be, THE TRUTH of our existence!!!

PRAISE YOU, LORD, CHRIST JESUS!!! I have felt YOUR LOVE, have embraced it, and, am using it, to develop into a semblance of YOU! I WORSHIP YOU, and, LOVE YOU, and, wish to HONOUR YOU, in all of my ways, for the rest of my days, in the best of my capacities, IN YOUR name, TO, and, FOR YOUR GLORY, which IS, the core of ALL in existence, and, IS the sole provision, for ALL, therein! Thank YOU, for YOUR LOVE, and, for teaching us, for guiding us, for directing us, and, for your compassion, which, led YOU to the most awe inspiring Sacrifice, ever! I find YOU, ALONE, worthy of my surrender, submission, compliance, obedience, and, strive, daily, to finish the good fight, to receiving eternal life, for I KNOW there is NOTHING else! In the name of all which is, HOLY! BLESS YOU, CHRIST JESUS, ALL GLORY BE UNTO THEE, forevermore! AMEN!!!

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
