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...

LETTER TO THE WORLD: THE POWER OF CHANGE...

Dear people of this life, with LOVE I address us all, this day! There is but one race, the human race; we are diverse, yes, but, also, very similar! Our similarities have been shown, and are what hold power to unite us...

It is our egocentric mind which creates all the troubles we have co-existing in this realm, on this planet, as pride, arrogance, and all sorts of other negative emotions, characteristics, and behaviours are given power, OVER what is POSITIVE, RIGHT, JUST, and GOOD! We feed into what kills us! We give power where it doesn't belong! We are attracted to that which creates, stirs up, and increases what is deadly! Point blank, it is almost as if we are hypnotized by the evil of this world, and find little ability to fight against it...

We are, greatly, wrong minded, and yet, rightness of mind EXISTS IN EACH OF US; though, it entails a struggle to grasp, to hold onto, and to use to conquer it's opposition! Yet, it is a struggle WELL worth the effort, as the victory in doing so, eradicates the false powers that claim our beings, our lives...

Agitation, frenzy, discord, discontent, anger, hatred, frustration, aggression, turmoil, rage, stubbornness, and other negatives are fed by our passions, which HONESTLY, ARE controllable, and when controlled, see the diminished hold of negatives in our lives, thus, greater PEACE from within, to without...

LOVE IS THE ANTIDOTE to ALL which ails this world, though, we deny it, defy it, and kick it to the side, because we measure LOVE on our own imperfections! We have seen, and felt, what anti-LOVE does to individuals, and societies, and yet, we act as if this is the norm, while we suffer, more, more, and more, at the hand of these effects...
Division, WE have created, as we imagine that there is a vein of superiority in being human! The ONLY way to be superior is to step ABOVE what is inferior, and so, inferiority reigns! Humanity was NOT CREATED to be superior in itself, instead BY a SUPERIOR BEING, whom I call *GOD*, and whom you might call by another name, FOR servitude of HIM, and of others who exist in this time! The ONLY superiority which exists for us lies in serving HIM ABOVE, LOVE, and others, and this, is NOT measured, or rewarded in the human realm, instead BY *GOD*, and at a later date. Therefore, to seek superiority is also a wrong, for it is impossible without our CREATOR, and holds no value to measuring against one another, instead, is to increase ALL!!!
Most belief systems of *GOD*, or what one may call HIM, are premised on LOVE, and PEACE, and so, a very SOLID thread to bring us together...  

In this time, we are heading to TOTAL destruction at our own hands, due to our wrong-mindedness, and our clinging to what is of the world, which is a suction vortex of wrongs! Evil, and wickedness, like the world, itself, are temporal, and earthy, and WILL be destroyed, permanently, as *GOD*, and LOVE come to take what is HIS, and to eradicate all else! We are self-destructive, and the price to pay is eternal!!!

We give power to what is wrong, yet, we give little power to what is right, and so, I wonder WHY?!? We have seen, and felt the damages of what is wrong, and still, we refrain from what is right, which WOULD heal the world, and remove all else! WHY? WHY? WHY???

It is NOT too late, as long as there is this day that *GOD* HAS GIVEN us to get it right, thus, I URGE us ALL, to THINK, long, and hard, about what we have created in this time, then, to change it! One little step in the right direction, by ALL, would see DRAMATIC improvement in the first day! Yes, I know, there would remain those who don't seek anything right, just, or good, but, they would be greatly, the minority! I BELIEVE IN THE GOOD WITHIN most of us, and the power of that good! I KNOW that with *GOD*, and LOVE, we can CORRECT the damage we have done!!!
All I am saying is that EVERYTHING we have done this far, has proven wrong, and deadly, so WHY NOT try what is right, just, and good, and SEE the difference, before we no longer HAVE the option to do so???

May *GOD* BLESS, and BE with us ALL, and may we LEARN from HIM, and HIS LOVE, that we might HONOUR HIM, and the life HE has given us, for the moment, and for all eternity!!!

What I have to say could fill a book, and so, reading DEEPER into the lines will have to suffice, for it is quite difficult to say what NEEDS to be said, because of the current wrong-mindedness of these times! In order to move past these times, we need to come to a COMMON ground, for only then, can we progress PAST what is...

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...
