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

THOUGHTS, WORDS, ACTIONS, REACTIONS, AND OUR CHOICES PRODUCE EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL!!!

Oh yah, you KNOW this is right! FEW will regard this truth, or respect it, yet, NOTHING is more accurate---

To embrace the world, and it's ways IS to exist separately from THE LORD *GOD*, despite that we ARE in this world, and have to deal with it! The TRUE Christian KNOWS this is NOT our home, and we are not here very long, so, every hour counts; be that to HONOUR *GOD*, or to be further chained to this realm! ALL which is wrong in this world IS derived from LACK OF *GOD*, lack of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and our submission to the falsehoods which lead us farther from our TRUTH, and from HIM! ALL which is wrong with us IS rooted in foolish belief in what the world has taught us, and has caused us to act like! It IS SO simple to be changed, and to change, but we listen to the passions, and stirrings within which ARE embedded because of the lies, and the enticements that this world generates! We place significance in the physical, while we deny, defy, and ignore the extraordinary spiritual being, which by the way, IS that which has been CREATED into HIS IMAGE, for HE IS SPIRIT, thus, are HIS Chosen!!!
WISDOM of the *GODLY* kind IS imperative in this trek through the valley of tribulations; without it, we are like sagebrush in the wind, being tossed around, tumbled, and thrashed by what opposes HIM, and oppresses us! The fear of *GOD* IS the beginning of WISDOM, BECAUSE HE ALONE, holds our destiny in HIS hands; that is, the final destination of our souls, which BELONG TO HIM WHOM CREATED them, along with everything in CREATION! We foolishly fear other people, and things, yet, many do not fear THE LORD *GOD*, and cling to what is carnal, or of the flesh, NOT acknowledging that the body is temporal, but the soul is forever, and can either spend eternity in PEACE, and JOY, or not! Many are those whom IGNORE the weightier instructions HE HAS put before us, as they CHOOSE to satisfy the flesh, and imagine that the soul is safe, especially if they have proclaimed CHRIST JESUS as their LORD, and SAVIOUR, YET, are void of TRUE repentance, or conformation unto HIS WILL! WISDOM teaches, guides, directs, protects, and provides for us in every way, for HE KNOWS what we are up against, and how easy it is to tire of aiming to exist aright, since we are on the outskirts of hell, and are met with much on the journey...
Numerous people THINK that this time on Earth IS all about them, but, it is NOT! NEVER has been! IT IS ALL ABOUT *GOD*, and HIS GLORY, and our ROLE IN HIS PLAN, or being chained to the world! It IS about SERVING *GOD*, and OTHERS! It IS about LOVE! It IS about what is right, just, and good! It IS about CHANGING flaws into advantages! It IS about ALLOWING *GOD* TO PERFECT us FOR HIS GLORY, and HOLY use! It IS about MAKING existence BETTER for ALL! It IS about DOING good, and BEING good, EVEN when it seems impossible, which it ISN'T IF we are OF *GOD*, because WITH *GOD* NOTHING is impossible! It IS about THE SPIRIT, and the soul; ours and those of others! It IS about FINDING THE LORD, and THE PATH, and REMAINING IN HIM, and ON THE PATH, NO MATTER WHAT intends to obstruct us! NO! It is NOT about you, NOT at all, save for the BLESSINGS you receive IF you are ONE WITH THE LORD *GOD*!!!
WHATEVER we decide to do, has consequences, right, or wrong, good, or bad! When our CHOICES are of this world, we are on our own, and endangered by the consequences therein! When our CHOICES are OF *GOD*, the consequences are BLESSINGS, and PROMISES FULFILLED! IF we CHOOSE to be of the world, we are slaves to what is of the world, and it's woeful evils! IF we CHOOSE to be OF *GOD*, we are slaves to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and it's DIVINE benevolence, SO YAH, CHOOSE WISELY, which you cannot do, if you DON'T, or WON'T seek *GOD*, nor HIS WISDOM!!!
This realm IS a testing ground for the purpose of absolute determination of whom is of THE KINGDOM! We CAN'T navigate, or manage this on our own, so there is NO MY WAY, as ONLY THE LORD'S WAY IS THE SAFE, and FRUITFUL WAY! Of course you can deny TRUTH, and CHOOSE your own way, but in the end, it will be a foolish choice! See, this is part of the problem with this world, we think in terms of NOW, and NOT later, and for the most part, look the other way concerning consequences, and long term effects! Again, WISDOM would rectify that!!!

There IS a potent enemy working AGAINST us here, which we also, attempt to overlook, but whom WILL bind us TO our choices, and mistakes, SO, if we DON'T or WON'T become ONE WITH THE LORD, we have only ourselves to blame! RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HOLINESS AGREE WITH us, and BLESS us in ways we can't quite fathom! All else makes us sick, takes from us, and leaves us wayward in sorrows, agonies, and distress! I WISH there was a perfect way to explain HOW CRUCIAL IT IS TO CONSIDER the TOTAL CONTRAST between what is *GODLY*, and what is not, and HOW one works FOR us, while the other destroys us, and the placing of our souls!!!

Our entire existence REQUIRES GROWTH, and MATURITY; without such we are simply, wasting time, and going NOWHERE FAST!!!

I PRAY that *GOD* touches the hearts of ALL, and that HIS Chosen people's DO their work IN HIS PLAN TO snatch souls from the fire, and inspire, THAT all is well with each of us! Alas, the wickedness of evil IS hard at work, and DOES influence far too many! Still, WITH *GOD*, KNOWLEDGE, LOVE, and INTENT, we COULD make a HUGE difference, NOW, and FOREVER!!!

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...

LOVE ONE ANOTHER---DAN LUEDERS
