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

THURSDAY'S TRIALS, AND/OR, TRIBULATIONS...

Life can be a tough, turbulent ride; no doubt! We, and, people in our lives are going to perish, develop problems, troubles, trauma's, and, on it goes! We NEVER know what is ahead, but, that is what is so cool about being ONE with *GOD*; no matter what, HE has your back, and, is going to move you through things, IN HIS OWN TIME, and, WILL! To be frank, not everything happens to our favour, yet, HE has great reason, and, purpose for what does come of anything! We have to learn to TRUST HIM, accept HIS WILL, and, remain undauntedly steadfast, in FAITH! Hard to do sometimes, for sure, but, FAITH IS empowering, and, eases much of the duress of the throes, of life!!!

HE tells us not to fear, not to be anxious, not to place ourselves in mentalities, which, have the power to carry us away from HIM! You see, IF we TRUST IN HIM, as we would our earthly Father, MUCH of the emotionalism, in the duration, of whatever, is diminished! It blows my mind, that people can place SO much FAITH in other people, but, when it comes to placing FAITH in *GOD*, they are, greatly, lacking; albeit, conditioning, and, other factors, yet, we MUST PLACE ALL FAITH IN HIM, as, HE, ALONE, IS THE RESOLVE, THE PROVIDER, THE DELIVERER, THE PEACE, we seek!!!

Time is gonna bang you up a bit, this is a fact of life! You ARE gonna experience ALL sorts of things, which, you would rather not! You ARE, most likely, gonna overcome, and, survive them! You ARE going to be stronger, more knowledgeable, wiser, and, more enabled, from these experiences! EVERYTHING under the sun, has purpose; even the bad stuff; that is HOW DIVINE ORDER works!!!

*GOD* has covered every base in HIS WONDROUS WORD! T'ain't nothin' in this life, that, HE did not consider, nor, know about BEFORE CREATION! HIS GENIUS is without beginning, without end, and, is fully equipped; which, HE has passed on much of, for us to journey this sojourning, enabled, enriched, empowered, encouraged, enlightened, and, endowed! HE left nothin' to chance, because, in HIS world, chance is not a part of the whole; chance is derived from the world, to keep us trippin', and, slippin', and, fallin' into the deceiver's well laid snares!!!

YES, sometimes, life is SO unsettling, in a matter of moments, hours, or, weeks, that, it takes your very breath away, let alone, your stability, and, sound reasoning! Find one string of encouragement in these times, *GOD*, and, HOLD ON! HOLD ON with ALL your might! HOLD ON with FAITH, TRUST, BELIEF! HOLD ON with prayers, petitions, and, lifting UPWARDS! HOLD ON with PRAISE, WORSHIP, and, REJOICING! BELIEVE IN HIM, and, HIS ALMIGHTY POWERS! HOLD ON, and, KNOW THAT HE IS *GOD*, and, WITH *GOD*, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! HOLD ON, I tell you, I tell myself, HOLD ONTO HIM!!!

*GOD* IS YOUR SOURCE for ALL things, all matters, all resolve! BELIEVE with ALL of your heart, IN HIM! LET HIM DO HIS thing, which, OF LOVE, IS HIS pleasure to do, for HIS people!!!

Life, yep, it is a crazy ride; bumpy, uncertain, endangered, traumatizing, unsettling, and, bewildering, but, know what? YOU AREN'T REALLY OF THIS LIFE, you ARE of SPIRIT, so, HOLD ON TO THE SPIRIT of spirits!!! PRAISE YOU LORD!!!

REV. LWINSOR © 2012

Hahahaha, funny stuff! The caption of the above photo, says to CUT THE ROPE, and, TRUST IN HIM:))) Message in diversity! I can relate, but, we all NEED something to HOLD ONTO, and, ain't nothin' more trustworthy to HOLD ONTO, than *GOD*!!!

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
