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

WHEN *GOD* IS NOT PRESENT IN OUR LIVES...

Always present yourself as worthy unto *GOD*, and, others...

Throughout history, disrespect, and, disregard for others, has of course, existed, but, has become quite common in these times. Unfortunately, sadly, most of the evidence of these behaviours, is witnessed in our Youth, because, it has become socially acceptable to be mean, cocky, arrogant, even, to bully others! Adults, as well, especially younger ones, have adapted to this trend, and so, we have very hostile, as well as, painful for many, times on our hands!!!

In most behaviour problems, the root of such, can be traced to the Family, not necessarily the Parents, but, somewhere in the Family unit, although, Parents OUGHT to be able to detect, then, correct such. Yet, in these days, such SEEMS to on the cusp of being out of control, therefore, it takes the comm'UNITY', to alter, and, amend!!!

Such attitudes, and, actions, are indicative of the rule of the world, over *GOD*! People are, obviously, NOT living in the LOVE of *GOD*, otherwise, there would be no such trend! The evil one is busy, and, a great part of it, is due to ignorance OF *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*, thus, it is NOT unfair, nor, unrealistic to say, that people are NOT receiving THE WORD, nor, are they receiving pertinent components OF what comprises the LOVE, which *GOD*/CHRIST, has commanded us to live in, and so, those of the Cloth, are also, responsible!!!

I have seen videos, have read about, and, have experienced the consequences of these faulty behaviours, which, ARE rampant in our society! People have killed themselves over being bullied, put down, treated badly, and, so forth! Elderly people have been devastated of spirit, listening to harsh, unkind, downright contemptible slurs! I can go on, but, you KNOW what I am speaking of, as, it has touched us ALL!!!

Time for *GOD*! Time for Adults to LEARN the TRUTH of LOVE! Time to TEACH everyone the WHOLE TRUTH! Time to turn the devil away! Time to represent RIGHTEOUSNESS, and, deflate evil!!!

HOW do we alter this deadly, destructive trend? We have to REACH, and, TEACH others! We HAVE to bring *GOD* into the forefront of society, after all, it IS HIS RIGHTFUL place, and, HIS MIGHT can perfect all which is wrong, bad, and, negative! And HOW do we do this? Through HIS WORD, AND, through VIABLE examples, OF HIS WORD; we HAVE to BE VISIBLE representatives OF HIM, HIS LOVE, and, HIS GRACE!!!

Pastors NEED to understand, if people aren't coming to receive THE WORD, THE SPIRIT,  then, *GOD* has to be brought out into the streets, the neighborhoods, and, ANYWHERE where the ignorance of HIM, prevails! Families, Teachers, and, ALL those who have the power to influence, OUGHT to be taught! MOBILE DELIVERANCE, if you will! And, MUCH of delivering THE WORD, is done THROUGH EXAMPLE, through VISIBILITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN those called to represent HIM! It is time to battle evil with GOOD, in MORE than word, the ACTIONS of the FRUITS of THE SPIRIT, HAVE to be noticeable!!!

NO ONE in this life, deserves malicious treatment, especially, from people who are acting away from *GOD*! Of course, people who are the brunt of someones hostilities, need to do several things, which, begin with *GOD*, such as, saying, "*GOD* BLESS you!", LOVING THEM ANYWAY,  praying for them, forgiving them, AND, realizing that they DO NOT have the power to destroy you, unless, you allow the damaging effects of their awful behaviours to seep into, then, sink deeply! Your worth is NOT measured by humanity, but, by *GOD*, thus, SHOULD inspire you to be able to stay ABOVE the opinions of others! I KNOW it is difficult to refrain from becoming affected, but, we MUST ATTEMPT, for such behaviours, truly, are only given power to flourish IF we allow them to! IF everyone could resist the onslaught of bad behaviours, they would have NO room for growth, thus, they would be powerless, and, eventually, it would take the sick pleasure they receive from acting in these ways, away from them...

ONENESS is a part of *GOD*, and so, we SHOULD UNITE in HIS name, to thwart what is at hand! ALL who are WITH HIM, OUGHT to STAND TOGETHER, to diminish the sharp arrows of darkness! Complacency HAS TO BE OVERCOME, in order for ANYTHING to be corrected! We have work to do, in the name of *GOD*, and so, let us FACE it, IN LOVE, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, for HIS sake, the sake of GOODNESS, and, the sake of the living!!!

MORE TO COME...

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
