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

THE DEADLY ROAD OF DISREPAIR IS CHOSEN & WELL TRODDEN, WHILE THE BEAUTIFUL, LIFE-GIVING PATH IS IGNORED & DENIED...

WHAT does it take for people to stop and think? WHAT does it take for humanity to consider their ways? HOW much adversity must we create for ourselves, then, attempt to exist in? HOW much hatred can we release before there is nothing else left?---

It SEEMS that few have learned anything through the humbling effects of this deadly virus, and in fact, HAS caused many to become more rebellious, more reckless, and more aggressive towards anything, or anyone which might lead us aright, and through all this; and that is VERY disturbing, as well as sad...

On top of battling a virus, at least in my country, people are adding problems to the already heavy load, and disregard for others is ever increasing! Few other generations in history have been as hard-headed, self-inclined, hostile, unruly, and froward as is this one! For less difficult peoples than are we, *GOD* punished, generations before us! Just something to consider, and to reckon with...

LOVE IS WAXING COLD in this time, and is ridiculed by a great many! There ARE signs EVERYWHERE of where we are headed, and yet, it is like, who cares?! For EVERYTHING there IS a consequence, and for EVERY wrong there IS a boomerang effect! Adversity IS something we CAN overcome, and control, but that would mean that people acknowledge themselves, hold themselves accountable, and correct their shortcomings, wrongs, and behaviours/attitudes, and not too many are willing to admit, let alone correct, that they have areas in need of improvement!!!

Things ARE likely to get worse before they get better, as long as the majority IS resistant to change, and growth! As long as people reject that perhaps we might need to adjust our characters, and mindsets, we ARE gonna be taken farther from relief, and WILL suffer ramifications UNTIL we are brought SO low that we look UP!!!

BE CAREFUL THE STONES YOU CAST, has more meanings than that of hurting other people! The stones we cast of defiance WILL build a towering effect that WILL crash down upon us, BELIEVE it!!!

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET RIGHT, and TO TURN TO THE LORD, and TO EXAMINE ourselves! We HAVE to QUIT living from the outside in, and START living from the inside out, WITH a heart of LOVE, RESPECT, REGARD, COMPASSION, CARE, and ALL those POSITIVES that WOULD make for HEAVEN ON EARTH, IF we would BEGIN to do so, and CHOOSE to exist in such benevolent ways!!!

In these turbulent, woeful times, it's like we have been throw into a raging sea, and then *GOD* threw us a strong line to rescue us, but instead of grasping, and holding onto the line, we turned the other way, in which case, MANY WILL perish of their OWN decisions, and their OWN stubbornness; NO blame on *GOD*, for EACH CHOOSES HIS offerings, or not!!!

We DON'T need to add more problems to the heap we already have, and since we are battling LOTS of unknown enemies, each as deadly as the other, IT IS TIME TO CONTEMPLATE OUR ROLE in all of this, and to acknowledge our wrongs, THAT we CAN begin to move forward to a better, healthier, more advanced place!!!

WHY ARE we making more trouble for ourselves than we have at this point? WHERE IS the sense in doing so? WHEN WILL we 'get' that WE have made things WAY WORSE than they need be, or are intended to be? WHAT WILL it take for us to REALIZE we ARE our own worst enemies, and we DO lead ourselves FAR from safety, comfort, and goodness? HOW ASININE are we that we CONTINUE choosing to exist in that which takes us down, and WILL ultimately, ruin us?!!

Existing in negativity, in animosity, in bias, in hatred, in scorn, and all which is OPPRESSING, IS as FOOLISH as it gets, and as ensnaring as being caged at the bottom of the ocean!!!

We HAVE TODAY to CHANGE our ways, BEFORE there is no longer a day! WE CAN make things better, right, and profitable FOR ALL, BY changing course, and we MUST, because the road we ARE on IS damaged beyond repair, and IS deadly! THE LORD *GOD* HAS PROVIDED A PATH for us, one which few travel, not for lack of knowledge, instead for lack of will, that leads PERFECTLY to LIFE, PEACE, HOPE, and JOY!!!

LWINSOR © 2020
ONLY *GOD* CAN, and WILL lead us past what ails, and afflicts us! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, HONOUR HIM, REJOICE IN HIM, and STEP INTO HIS LOVE, THAT you become ONE WITH HIM, WITH LOVE, and WITH TRUE LIFE!!!

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
