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

SATURDAY'S SOUNDNESS: SINCE THE BEGINNING HISTORY HAS NOT ONLY REPEATED ITSELF, BUT, HAS AMPLIFIED ITSELF IN WRONGNESS...

Immorality, and other wrong behaviours, have been around, since the first people's of this world, with the same problems, throughout every generation, although, some generations, have gone over the top in their reveling, and, disdain for THE LORD!!!

Sex, money, addictions, pride, greed, envy, sloth, wrath, gluttony, and, other such, have been the traps into which Mankind has fallen, for a long, long, long, long time! Though, it is unlikely, throughout history, that such behaviours have been so tolerated by the Churches, and, by society as a whole, as this present time! Today, there are some SICK things occurring, and, people are like, "To each his own!", which is fine, if you don't care that people perish, but, I DO care! Not only that, the sickness being tolerated is like a rapidly spreading disease, affecting all, in epidemic proportions! Especially, thanks to the 'Net, where people who live 2, or 3 lives, can get as sick as they want, and, feel hidden! WRONG ANSWER! NOTHING is hidden from the ONE *GOD*, whom IS going to judge even the dead!!!

The more commonplace these behaviours become, the more sin will reign! Then, innocent little Children, which is happening even now, will be subjected to lives ruled by things they would have never considered, but, thanks to the uncontrolled desires of the adults of this world, they will be influenced in ways, which, has the potential to create an extremely wicked generation! There is a REASON we are adults; to TEACH the Children ways which will, benefit them, promote them, and, optimize their overall, as well as continued well-being!!!

The evil deceiver has been very, very busy, and, successful in recent years! ALL because we have NOT learned to CONTROL the egocentric mind, our passions, and, desires! ALL because we are NOT IN *GOD*/CHRIST! IF we were, HIS WILL would yet, have CLOUT!!!

ALL things just, right, and, good, are OF *GOD*/CHRIST, and, exist for SOUND reasons, and, purposes! Virtues, morality, ethics, integrity, modesty, humility, and, other *GODLY* behaviours, exist for the GOOD of ALL in existence, and, FOR HIS GLORY! They are healthy TO the body, mind, and, spirit, and, to the general life of all humanity! When we are depraved, uncontrolled, defiant, and, other negatives, we breed contempt, thus, the wrath of *GOD*, which, begins by stirring up major dissension, discord, and, more, amongst humans!!!

People who claim CHRIST, were chosen into a HOLY, royal Priesthood, for the building UP of HIM, the CHURCH, and, HIS WHOLESOMENESS! HOW then, can SO many claim HIM, and, live so far removed from HIM???

I am no angel, I am no prude, but, I have LEARNED the hard way, what HIS WILL implies: HOLINESS! We are being sanctified, and, consecrated for a MOST BEAUTIFULLY WONDROUS event, a NEW HEAVEN & EARTH, ETERNALLY! People don't think that HE should be selective when it comes to the saved, but, really, WHY would HE want more of the same to exist eternally???

The NEW HEAVEN & EARTH, will see NO negatives; NO crying, NO pain, NO suffering, NO hostilities, NO opposition TO HIS HOLY WILL, and, that makes perfect sense to me!!!

I care because I DON'T want anyone to be excluded! It would wrench my soul to witness, even people I care deeply for, to perish! And for what? Some fun? Some false, temporary pleasure? Some wealth? Some things? WHY can't people read THE TRUTH, and, take it to heart? WHY are we SO stubborn? WHY do we believe we are able to redeem ourselves in the end, IF we put no effort into the now, and, HOW many are suddenly gone, believing that???

Oh promiscuous, insatiable, greedy, needy people of this life, WHAT does it take for us to 'get' it? WHAT price are we paying for NOTHING more than egocentric defiance???

You see, it is SO easy for HIM to SEE the TRULY devout; their thoughts, actions, and, reactions are in ALLEGIANCE to HIM, NOT to their selfish, fleshy, carnal desires! And, you SHOULD believe, HE IS taking note, while, observing EVERY single thing we think, do, or say! HIS eyes are upon the Earth, scouring every corner of it, to find the TRUE Children of HIS calling!!!

Be SOUND in HIM, and, LIVE ETERNALLY IN the riches of HIS benevolence! DON'T choose to ignore the alternative, which is eternal existence, lost in whatever you choose as your intent! Be aware, hell is NOT death, or ceasing to exist, it is eternal desire for what you most put your intent upon, be that sex, money, addictions, or whatever, WITHOUT EVER finding relief from it! Scary, scary, scary! This is WHY HE tells us NOT to CHOOSE to be SLAVES to sin, because if we so choose to do so, zap, you ARE enslaved BY your sin(s)!!!

ALL the nasty, strange things that society is becoming complacent about, are NOT reality! They are delusional illusions, to entice you to the point of selling your soul, for temporal pleasures! Not a one of them, is worth it! *GOD*/CHRIST IS THE ONLY WORTH of our existence, and, WILL reward us generously, for our having tossed the enticements of this world aside, to live in the TRUE self, the spirit, that, belongs to HIM, NOT to the evil one!!!

Imperative thoughts, indeed! *GOD* have MERCY upon us, BLESS, and, BE with us ALL, and, may we open UP to HIM, that HE can help us find safety in this crazy maze called life, and, lead us to SOUND, IRREVOCABLE VICTORY, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, for HIS GLORY IS the principle, objective, and, redemptive GRACE! MUCH LOVE ALWAYS! Let us PRAY with ALL our might, and, STAY IN THE WORD!!! OXOXOX

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
