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 TRIUMPHS: SERVITUDE...

In the rich, and, diverse history of THE BIBLE, there were quite a few whom, were triumphant over many matters in this life, because, they TRUSTED *GOD*, FOLLOWED HIS PRECEPTS, COMMANDS, and, BELIEVED IN HIS WILL, enough, to warrant HIS respect, and, a relationship with HIM!!!

Just a few such examples are, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Noah, Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Hezekiah, Judith, Esther, David, and, on it goes! Some of these people were especially devout, had very close contact with HIM, at all times, and, as a result, were granted many favours from THE LORD, along with favour in HIS sight, then, and, forever!!!

When one comes to THE LORD FULLY, they ALLOW HIM to lead them, to communicate with them; they TRUST HIM, they listen to HIM, they seek everything they need, body, mind, and, spirit, from HIM, while remaining, humbly willing to fulfill HIS WILL for their lives! Few of these greats were selfish, though, some were! NONE of them were perfect, and, many were far from it, BUT, they were perfect in LOVE, awe, union, respect, and, regard for *GOD*!!!!

Not only did these people fear HIM, regard HIM, obey HIM, honour HIM, but, they SERVED HIM, with their WHOLE intent!!!

Our FATHER has had to deal with rebellion, arrogance, and, defiance since day one of HIS Beloved human race, and so, has HAD to establish certain criteria for HIS Chosen! HE has gone to great means to humble us, to teach us, and, to reason with us! HE has been MORE than patient with us, and, HIS LOVE NEVER dies, despite the continuance of acts against HIM, and, HIS WILL! Thus, when someone has DISCOVERED HIM within, and, UNDERSTANDS HIM, then, OBEYS HIM, HE is more than generous with them! Such people are rare, and, are treasures in HIS sight! It should be noted that HIS favours, are not necessarily in materialistic manners, but, provide, exceedingly!!!

We exist like this: out of sight, out of mind; believing that HE is far too busy to notice us! IF we could realize that HE IS RIGHT HERE, ALL THE TIME, OBSERVING, LISTENING, and, taking note, perhaps, we would conduct ourselves in more worthy ways, but alas, the deceiver has been busy...

The most elevated triumph a human being can experience, is to OVERCOME the world, it's woes, and, it's chains! When one STRIVES to BE WHOM they were CREATED to be, *GOD* IS with them, and, dotes them, as does a LOVING, Earthly Parent! *GOD* LOVES HIS Children, but, sometimes, we are SO out of line, HE HAS to be stern, firm, and, the disciplinarian, for our own good!!!

People who refuse, or, refrain from HIM, are NOT triumphant, though, in their egocentricity, they will imagine themselves to be! People whom think the world is THE booty, are NOT triumphant, and, have no excuse, because *GOD* is NOT hidden from anyone; HE is planted in the heart, and, the mind, of all Mankind, but, the evil elemental powers, and, rulers of this world, have twisted the TRUTH, effectively enough, to shroud it, especially for the uninformed!!!

Triumph, and, victory, lie in THE LORD, our *GOD*, and, ARE everlasting! The fleeting triumphs of this day, are not substantial, EXCEPT in the minds of Mankind! The world, and, it's offerings, are FALSELY misleading people, confusing them, tempting them, distorting their vision, deluding their senses, and, defeating their strengths!!!

After all I have experienced in the flesh, I would rather be as Elijah, Elisha, and, others, BLESSED with THE SPIRIT! My lessons took well, and, I SAW firsthand, THE TRUTH; *GOD* IS THE GLORY, THE BEGINNING, THE END, ALL, and, EVERYTHING! ONLY WITH HIM, is there ANY HOPE, ANY LASTING PROVISION, ANY LOVE, ANY PEACE, and, ANY CHANCE for what lies ahead! Thus, TRIUMPH is what I seek, for the sake of my spirit, the TRUE me, which, BELONGS to *GOD*, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY! AMEN!!!

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
