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

MONDAY'S MEDITATIONS: LET THE LIGHT OF *GOD*, BRIGHTEN YOUR WEEK!!!

Another week, by the GRACE of *GOD*! For some, this week will mean meeting deadlines, dealing with overwhelming workloads/bosses, possibly, with the added load of running a home, and, managing a Family, for some, it will mean, the same ole' thing, for some it will mean another week of struggling, for some it will be another week of studies, for some it will mean little, and, on it goes!!!

ATTITUDE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE in this life! One should EMBRACE the time before them; they should NOT look into the future, instead, live in the moment, and, head into those moments with a certain state of grace!!!

Yah, life is tough, I can testify to this, and, I hear ya, but, should that be the whole of HOW we take it on?!? I don't think so! Each day, I open my eyes, and, as I lay there, I thank *GOD* for this day, and, ALL therein! Even the less than welcomed, has great purpose to this day, to my growth, understanding, and, spirit, therefore, I accept it, and, move through the day, with *GOD* as my shield, as my strength, as my vision, and, as my comforter! I don't rely on myself, entirely; to do so, is rather silly, because, DIVINE ORDER is at work, of which, I am but a part, AND, I LIKE KNOWING that I can count on my LORD, when things get heavy, stressed, or, what have you! "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble". (PSALM 46:1) To KNOW this, aids the attitude, greatly! To understand, that we are not alone, assists the mind to overcoming, what has the potential to darken it, and, shroud THE TRUTH! To accept this, is to FREE the spirit from the constant onslaught of negatives the deceiver, likes to throw at us! Thus, I awaken, READY to take on this time, this gift of *GOD*!!!

KNOW this: Satan, in his twistedness, IS going to come your way, with as many upsets as he can conjure, TO bring you down, to cause you to stumble, in hopes that you will err in this day, because, that is what he does! But, IF *GOD* IS THE MIGHT of the mentality, we only have to tell him to go away!!!

WITH *GOD* as your MINDSET, as your ALLY, the day's trips, need not entangle your spirit, and, quest to end the day in happiness, and, PEACE! LEAN on HIM, RELY on HIM, USE HIS POWERS, while, in FAITH, thanking HIM, PRAISING HIM, and, WORSHIPPING HIM, all the hours of the day! It is SO easy to pray, to PRAISE, and, to WORSHIP, all the day long; it is a silent, mental communication, of THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE, and, IS EMPOWERING, beyond expectations!!!

*GOD* is like sunshine to our days; a most HEALTHY attribute, which, we should embrace, revere, honour, and, be rejoicefully thankful for!!!

Make it a habit to face the day with CONFIDENCE! The kind of confidence, which is derived, ONLY from *GOD*! Make it a great day, a fantastically, enriched week, BY standing steadfast IN *GOD*! KNOW that HE is working FOR you, AROUND you, and, THROUGH you, to fulfill HIS WILL! Smile, in the face of adversity, in the face of the adversary, and, shake off the dust of disturbances, as fast as they touch you, then, look up, and, say, "Thank YOU LORD, for being ever near, and, guiding me through the hours of this day; I place my TRUST IN YOU, ALONE, and, I, am willing to be led, for YOU KNOW HOW to direct my steps, past what could trip me up! In the name of CHRIST JESUS of Nazareth, I thank THEE LORD, for YOUR LOVE, and, BLESSINGS in this, and, ALL times! AMEN!!!

Have a MOST AWESOME week, may *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with you! May LOVE, happiness, HOPE, and, PEACE, be the evidence of the hours of this week, and, may you, also, BE a BLESSING for others, along the way!!! MUCH LOVE, and, LET *GOD* SHINE on the hours of this, and, every day! PEACE be with you!!!

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
