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

LOOKING OUT FOR TRUTH...

Sometimes I step away to consider the state of things, and to control the being. I have plenty to say, yet, speaking to speak is not always the way to go, especially when one is sharing THE WORD OF *GOD*, and HIS WILL, because feelings interwoven has the potential to affect particular, and necessary messages---
 
How I feel about the day, and the issues, topics, and events therein matters a bit, but not enough to impact anyone, and that is not the purpose of my presence here, so, when I am distressed, or disillusioned by the world, it is better that I PRAY, and delve deeper into HIS instructions, that HIS message is not compromised, or lessened, or riddled with carelessness, even if that is not intended, as when one is riding on emotions, or their own thoughts, there is the possibility of misspeaking, or misstepping... 

I am tired of the drama, and the trauma of the days! We have SO many serious problems which NEED to be worked through, but the focus on important, or imperative matters is lost, in order to satisfy the desire to be heard, to be seen, to be noticed, to rebel, and otherwise, appease the self over that of others, or that of THE LORD *GOD*! I am disappointed in many things I am witnessing, therefore, I am also, FEELING the effects of the current downturn our country, and people are on, in which case, I KNOW not to be overtaken, yet, sometimes it is difficult to maintain in the chaos, albeit, I TRY, and that means I step aside, and dig deeper into RIGHTEOUSNESS via THE LORD...

FEW want to consider TRUTH anymore; fewer want to change their ways! Therefore, it is like, is there a point when it no longer matters that *GOD*, LOVE, and TRUTH are shared?! That will NEVER be the case, as when evil increases, so too MUST HE, and HIS WILL! Still, it is discouraging to note the growing rejection OF HIM, and what is right, just, and good, though I WILL continue to do what I may to keep THE LIGHT visible, and within reach!!!

IN THE END, *GOD* and LOVE IS ALL THERE IS, and those whom refuse TRUTH, well, their fate is set BY their choice(s)! LOST IS this world, right now, and perhaps worse than it has been for many, many generations, and so, it is CRUCIAL THAT *GOD* REMAIN PROMINENT, despite the denial by far too many! There IS HOPE as long as there are those who REVEAL HIM, and HIS LOVE, indeed! If only one in a million receives HIM, that IS worthy of a HEAVENLY celebration!!!

Something VERY strange has beguiled the masses; something very wicked, and very bizarre, and I am pretty sure it indicates the last days before THE LORD appears! Last year, I was beginning to think this, today I am more sure of it, as MANY signs ARE being realized! A Christian's work IS to SNATCH from the fires, the lost, and misled! HIS WORD, and WILL MUST be directed to those in the darkness, for THE LIGHT exists for those whom will seek, find, and follow! EACH Christian HAS duties and responsibilities TO THE COVENANT, and TO SALVATION; we are ONE IN CHRIST JESUS, and our ROLE IS TO BE LIKE HIM, more, more, and more! We are NOT to become one with the darkness in ANY way, for we ARE Children of THE LIGHT, and THE LIGHT we MUST REVEAL, FOR HIS GLORY, and the good of those who might be saved!!!

In this hour, more than not have become ensnared in the heated onslaught of contention, dissension, and discord; which means there are more heading AWAY from TRUTH than there are standing IN TRUTH, and that indicates troubles ahead, some of which will affect most in ways unprecedented, for a long, long, long time! It also means THE LORD *GOD* WILL allow HIS anger to be known; this in ways from devastating weather, to illnesses, to famine, to total destruction of particular areas, and worse! None of this has to be; it IS in our power to exist well, or not! Choices count, and when they become more wrong than right, danger IS present, night and day!!!
 
What is so disturbing is that we DON'T have to exist this way! We ARE capable, and able to exist in better ways which WOULD OPTIMIZE us, and the whole of the world! We CHOOSE to be caught up in the negatives, and the malevolence of this realm; we really do! WHY? There is no easy answer, and believe me, to the logical mind, there is NO sense in any of this, yet, here we are, and for what?!!
 
Christians have better things to be done with their time than to add to the contentiousness, still, it is as if reason has deserted us! It IS true that matters of the world affect us, BUT WE HAVE THE POWER THROUGH THE LORD *GOD* TO change it, and to bring what is right, just, and good to the forefront, and this IS important, because without HIM, or those of HIM, it is going to get absolutely nasty, as well as unbearable; we ARE on the cusp of that reality at this moment! IN CHRIST we SHOULD BE SHINING, not contributing to the darkness, or aligning with it, otherwise, there is NO distinction between us, and the rest!!!
 
And so, I PRAY that all who ARE OF HIM, AWAKEN from the spell cast over us, and STAND STRONG IN HIM, LOVE, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT those ensnared, lost, and without hope ARE inspired, and can SEE THE WAY! We MUST, FOR HIS GLORY, and the lost souls, DO MORE than we have, TO BRING HIM TO THE CENTER once more! ALL HE IS PROVIDES WHOLLY for us, and HEALS what befalls us, but when we lose sight of HIM, and ALLOW HIM to take the back burner, we CAN EXPECT affliction, for THROUGH such does HE remind us, humble us, and renew us!!!
 
NOTHING is getting any better, which is partly because the good has been downed by what is not, and this means we, OF HIM, HAVE failed to RESIST THE wickedness, and evil of this world! Let us begin TO recognize our LOFTY place in all this, and DO our part in BRINGING LIGHT back into the eclipse! Let us RAISE HIM, and ourselves TO being VISIBLE in a plane which IS increasingly clouded by iniquitous ways, and forces! Let us BE whom HE CREATED us to be; Children of THE LIGHT, and of THE ETERNAL KINGDOM, while SHOWING all others THE WAY, and HIS POWERFUL PRESENCE!!!

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
