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

CHRIST JESUS: THE MESSAGE...

The message of CHRIST JESUS, our LORD, and, SAVIOUR, is simple, yet, distorted, via many pretexts: OBEDIENCE TO *GOD*, our FATHER, AUTHOR, and, CREATOR of ALL in existence, that THROUGH HIM, and, HIS EXAMPLE, LEADS US TO *GOD*! CHRIST HIMSELF, spoke OFTEN of THE FATHER'S WILL BEING DONE! HE, in perfection, carried out, IN OBEDIENCE, letter, and, deed, EVERY detail ACCORDING to THE FATHER'S WILL! HE taught WELL, the WAYS to salvation, and, IF we claim HIM, as our SAVIOUR, we MUST FOLLOW HIM, IN HIS example!!!

So much distortion, so much dissension OVER THE TRUTH OF TRUTHS: OBEDIENCE TO *GOD*! People are not taught the necessity for obedience, which is, evident in the deeds of most! People WANT to be saved, but, do NOT want to COMPLY to the principle of salvation, just the same as the ancients; instead, they want the best of this world, and, what *GOD* promises, WHILE being allowed to live in ways unworthy OF *GOD*! People want to be able to be free to act in the flesh, while, claiming to be ONE with CHRIST, which, is impossible, because, IF we are ONE with CHRIST, we too, died TO the world, meaning, we are now, living for, and, IN the spirit, which, POINT BLANK does NOT concern itself with matters of the world, but, with matters of *GOD*, being liberated from the faulty desires of the flesh!!!

CHRIST, though, *GOD*, LEARNED OBEDIENCE through what HE, HIMSELF, suffered! WHY? So that HE would KNOW, from EXPERIENCING, what we are up against, and so, HE will be sympathetic, and, compassionate to our sufferings! HE was NEVER disobedient, HE IS *GOD*, yet, for the fullness of the PROMISE to be balanced, HE LEARNED OBEDIENCE from what HE experienced of this world!  HE BECAME one with our sufferings, to better LEAD us from them, through HIS own example, and, LOVE for us!!!

*GOD* says, BE HOLY BECAUSE I AM HOLY; HE is speaking of the efforts of obedience bringing us into HOLINESS WITH HIM! ALL through THE WORD, HE HAS COMMANDED OBEDIENCE TO HIM, from HIS people, and, why not? HE IS *GOD*, whom, not only CREATED us, and, provides for us, HE LOVES us, and, KNOWS what is best for us, as well as, understands PERFECTLY, what we lack, where we are misguided, and, ALL of our shortcomings!!!

CHRIST became THE LIVING WORD, in letter, and deed, to SHOW us HOW to live as we should, THAT we bear worthy fruit of the LOVE, and, GRACE, bestowed upon us! We are to PATTERN our lives AFTER HIM, THE LIVING WORD, THE LIGHT, THE TRUTH, THE WAY, THAT our being grafted IN  is productive, and, everlasting!!!

OBEDIENCE IS THE MESSAGE, and, EVER shall be, because, THROUGH obedience, lies the storehouses of *GOD'S* benevolence, which, includes security, safety, and, HIS PROMISES fulfilled, which, IS HIS WILL being DONE! OBEDIENCE is the surrendering of the world, to live as was intended, in the spirit, in ONENESS, PEACE, and, happiness, with THE *GODHEAD*! TRUE WORSHIP IS OBEDIENCE TO *GOD*!!!

When *GOD* says to TURN to HIM with your WHOLE being, HE is NOT allowing for disobedience, THOUGH, HE does allow for err! Those errs, however, should be repented, then, corrected, IN sincerity of PLEASING HIM! HE KNOWS we are in trouble here, but, EFFORT of CONDUCT TO CONFORMITY OF HIS WILL, accounts for MUCH in HIS sight, ESPECIALLY, WHEN it is SINCERELY worked through by us!!!

ALL, and, EVERYTHING IN CREATION, exists to SERVE HIM! HE IS THE BEGINNING, THE ENTIRETY, and so, THE FACTUAL RULER OF ALL, and, EVERYTHING! HE is NOT a tyrant, nor, anything negative, INSTEAD, to SERVE HIM, OPENS UP TO GLORIES beyond imagination, and, totally, irrevocable, SO, our EFFORTS towards OBEYING HIM, ARE THE MOST WORTHY of our time spent in this crazy, messed up world, because the world doesn't have one single thing to offer you, which is healthy, healing, fulfilling, and, especially, lasting!!!

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!!!

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
