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

ALWAYS BE BUSY PREPARING THE SPIRIT...

There is calamity, chaos, turbulence, and, trouble all over the planet, but, we are NOT to keep our thoughts on what is of the world, instead, on what is ABOVE! There is SOUND reason for this; when we keep our every thought on HIM, we are inclined to ACT accordingly; when we stop to take in all the wrong, we place ourselves in the probability of losing FAITH, COURAGE, and, TRUST IN THE LORD! In times of turmoil, fear, and, worry, our FOCUS MUST remain ON HIM, with HEARTFELT BELIEF OF HIS DELIVERANCE!!!

Really, what sense DOES it make to become overwhelmed with what is of this world? Much of this, is opportunity for the deceiver to take more captives; to prove the weakness of the FAITHFUL, and, to create more havoc! When we allow ourselves to be pulled into the wrongs, and, sufferings of this world, we are then, one with them, which has the potential to blind us, to overtake us, to cause a totally negative outlook, then, to hinder us!!!

WITH THE LORD, we remain in the POSITIVE, because we TRUST HIM to carry us OVER, and, ABOVE the negatives, that are, at times, like tsunami's before us, with waves high enough to overcome us! WITH HIM, we KNOW we are pulled out of danger, even if it is all around us!!!

There is SO much end time prophesying going on, people are easily swayed, overwhelmed, and, left feeling defeated! A LOT of things, according to THE WORD, have yet to manifest before the end times! Not only that, WHO are we to TRY to second guess HIS coming? ONLY HE knows, and, will NOT share this with anyone, for HIS own reasons, and, purposes, SO, do NOT be plagued by fear, doubt, worry, and, trickery, instead, ALWAYS be preparing the spirit, building UP THE BODY, THE CHURCH, CHRIST, and, living in STRONG FAITH, and, FAITHFULNESS! STAY IN THE WORD, that, understanding opens UP to being able to discern what is necessary!!!

Evil has many faces, with, more tactics than there are emotions, thoughts, and, imaginings of the human race; never to relent, never to slow, never towards any good! Therefore, the Children of *GOD*, OUGHT NOT feed into the constant onslaught of confusion, delusion, illusion, or, anything that does NOT correlate with THE WORD, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS!!!

Let us RISE to our inheritance, confident, controlled, courageous, undaunted by the chaos around us, and, STRONG IN FAITH, while, exemplifying HIM, in all we think, say, or do, so that, those seeking THE WAY out of the darkness, are encouraged, then led TO HIM!!!

Yes, there is MUCH wrong before us, but, there always has been; the deceiver is USING this as a weapon against *GOD*, and, the *GODLY*! Our work is to SERVE *GOD*/CHRIST, and, others, while remaining uninfluenced, unhampered by the show of the evil of this world! Our work is to provide HOPE where there is none, to lead by example, to LOVE at all times, and, to ENCOURAGE the negative laden! Our work is as never ending as is the onslaught of the deceiver, and, is FAR more imperative than we can imagine, thus, we must ALWAYS be preparing the spirit, and, exacting HIS WILL, in the time we have, each gift of a day!!!

KEEP your thoughts on that ABOVE as you continue to train for VICTORY, and, BELIEVE IN HIM with every single fiber of your being! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and, GLORIFY HIM through the evidence of HIM IN you! REJOICE, and, be encouraged, for HE IS THE ALMIGHTY LORD, our *GOD*, and, HAS PROVIDED THE WAY for us, in definitive detail, FOR the GOOD of ALL!!!

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
