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

MEANINGFUL MONDAY'S...

Happy Monday, which happens to be Martin Luther King Day, so, Happy MLK Day too!!!

Dr. King had a dream, an honourable dream, which he took to the world, in hope of finding understanding, agreement, and utilization of! He shirked not at the opposition, at the negatives if you will, at any thing that had the potential to keep his dream unrealized, and he DID initiate some change, despite the fact that there are yet many problems to be worked through regarding civil rights, and oneness. Being a Man of *GOD*, he allowed NOTHING of this world to stifle his dream, and was able to bring forth some lasting good...

Most people who are of *GOD*, have a dream, a vision, or better yet, an invocation supplied by THE HOLY SPIRIT of *GOD*, yet, few of us have developed the will to share, as fear yet inspires weaknesses, timidity, and other such! We SAY our FAITH is sound, still we drag our feet, and we quiet the DIVINE stirrings within, not wholly sure that we ARE empowered by THE MOST HIGH *GOD*, whom WILL equip us in EVERY way as we take HIM, and HIS WILL into the world! Say what you will about Dr. King, he ALLOWED himself to be the instrument of a part of THE TRUTH...

It occurs to me that THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY has a dream, a vision, hence, we study HIS PLAN, and that EACH of HIS own, has a role in the fulfillment of this PLAN, but honestly, few are willing to put their purpose to the PLAN to the test! Of course, there is yet MUCH ignorance, much misinformation, and too much confusion concerning the PLAN, and so, there is work to be done, for the individual, and THE BODY OF THE CHURCH...

The LOVE CHRIST JESUS left as HIS COMMANDMENTS, HOLDS the core of our purpose, our direction, our ability TO FULFILLING HIS WILL! Whatever changes wrong to right, IS a part of HIS PLAN, and a part of LOVE! Whatever increases the WELL-BEING of others, is premised, and grounded in LOVE! And so, until we study, and understand LOVE, we will continue to drag our feet, in hopes of quieting the DIVINE stirrings within...
You might ask, has prejudice, bias, discrimination, bigotry, and downright unfairness disappeared in the wake of Dr. King? No, they haven't, still, he managed to bring awareness, and aroused enough thought to make a lasting impression in the tower of the negatives before us! See, this is the way it works; every person who ALLOWS themselves to BE the instrument in the fulfillment of THE LORD'S WILL, LEAVES a cut into that prominent tower of negativity, and IF EACH of us were to do so, that tower would have no power, and would crumble because of the endless chipping into it, just as Jericho did! There is ONLY ONE TOWER of POWER, THE SOVEREIGN LORD, and not even all the works of inequity combined since time began, could significantly measure UP!!!

Ah well, live and learn, live and learn!!!

Today IS a day to begin to ALLOW THE LORD to work in us, through us, and around us! NEVER forget, nor deny, HIS POWER is IMMINENT, is LASTING, and SHALL chip through ALL which is of the world! Open UP to HIM, and RECEIVE what HE has in mind for you! Build UP THE CHURCH in the example of CHRIST JESUS, taking ON HIS nature, HIS personality, HIS goodness, HIS PERFECT ALLEGIANCE TO THE FATHER, *GOD*!!!

Have a BLESSED, and beautiful day, and may *GOD* BLESS us ALL! Let LOVE BE, in the name of CHRIST JESUS, our LORD *GOD*, SAVIOUR, KING, and HOLY SPIRIT! PRAISE HIM, BLESS HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and REJOICE IN HIS ENDLESS LOVE, CARE, and PROVISION for us for the sake of LEADING us to our GREATNESS, our inheritance, our safety, and our PURPOSE TO HIS WILL; ALL FOR HIS GLORY, and the GOOD OF ALL! AMEN!!!

It should be noted that each person whom ALLOWS *GOD* to use them in HIS PLAN, and leaves a chip in the tower of negatives, has done even more, in that they have left an example, and inspiration for the next so inclined person! This is HOW we BUILD UP THE CHURCH, and tear DOWN the walls of destruction, as we ADD to the FOUNDATION of LOVE IN HIS NAME, FOR HIS GLORY!!!

While *GOD* IS THE TOWER OF POWER, we are become THROUGH HIM, those who POINT THE WAY to HIM, encouraging, exemplifying, and leaving HOPE behind in our allegiance to HIS WILL! Our PURPOSE is MIGHTY TO HIS WILL, even IF it seems insignificant on this plane!!!

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...
