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

OH BABY, IT IS HOT OUT THERE!!!

Whewwwwwwwwwwww, excessive heat is hampering vacation plans, that is for sure! Went to a quaint little town today, and, after walking about a mile, was overtaken by heat! Tomorrow is going to be worse, could reach 101, add to that, the heat index, and, no, no, no, no, no thank you, I can't take it no more:)))

It has been one HOT Summer! Not complaining, because, all things work accordingly, and, really, what COULD one do about such things? I keep praying for some reprieve, and, definitely, some rain! On my short excursion, there is a a lovely little waterway, complete with a manmade waterfall, and, the water levels are so low, you can see the rocky bottom, so, yah, we NEED some rain!!!

I feel SO bad for people who have to work in this heat, and, those whom are forced to live outside in such conditions! Let us pray for them, always!!!

I have only encountered a couple of happy, energetic people this far:))) Most people in my path, are like sour patch kids, all puckered up, and like, withdrawn into some sort of mood/attitude; poor things! I am a shy, almost timid person, but, I tell you what, I have at least a grin, and more, for almost everyone I encounter, as well as a greeting of some sort. Whoever said that when you smile, the whole world smiles with you, obviously, had not visited the whole world:))) I read somewhere that a smile is a curve that sets everything straight:)))  It doesn't really matter, to each his own, *GOD* BLESS us ALL, but, I WISH ALL people could find the PEACE they need, along with the understanding of *GOD*, and, LOVE, but alas, such is what gives me work, and, keeps me busy:)))

It isn't that I never get crabby, but, I REFUSE to carry that out into the world, and, my bad moods don't last long enough to take root:))) I WON'T let them, because they are NOT of *GOD*, nor, LOVE; they are by-products of the deceiver, and, while he should know by now, that I am hip to his ploys, he still has to try! Some days I feel like I am shooing flies away, in my telling him to leave me:)))

One must NEVER relent in perfecting the spirit, because, that IS the ticket to paradise, people:))) It makes life in the now so much more manageable, and, opens UP to life everafter! There ain't NOTHING better than having *GOD* as your EVERYTHING; it FREES you SO much, and, PROVIDES the boots you need to wade through the murk of this old world, then, provides elevation to the spirit, to SOAR ABOVE it all, while smiling broadly in the energy of HIS LOVE, and, GLORY! YES, indeed! It is not 100% for even the most understanding, but, that is part of the perfecting process, and, the more effort towards knowing, opens UP to betterment, all the way around!!!

The MAIN thing IS, THIS DAY IS A GIFT OF *GOD*, and, SHOULD be embraced, THEN, WORKED to some semblance of appreciation FOR HIS LOVING GIFT! We OUGHT to, ALWAYS, find THE WORTHY, GOODNESS OF the day, and, take this to heart, WHILE, sincerely REJOICING, and, PRAISING HIS GLORIOUS GRACE! NO WAY is EVERY day going to be wonderful, but, WHO said it should be? That IS NOT the point of life, the point IS to MAKE every day something worthy, because HE GAVE you another day, and, what is wrong of the world, is like a puff of hot air, dissipating rapidly, UNLESS we TRY to HOLD onto it, in which case, who then, is to blame for the continuance of what has come to us???

I LOVE *GOD* enough to SEE HIS hand in everything, and, the SENSE of STAYING ON the HIGH road! Know what I mean???

Well, 'nuff said; take care, find HIS BLESSINGS in this day, and, BE a BLESSING for others, even if they don't respond, you just never know what sort of impact your understanding, LOVING ways, had upon them:))) I LOVE YOU, *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with you! ENJOY life IN HIS name, and, may PEACE be your CONSTANT companion; there is nothing more freeing that the PEACE *GOD* lends to HIS people:))) Later!!!

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
