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 STORY OF PURE GLORY...

Born of a sacred, immaculate birth,
*GOD* as Man, came to Earth;
JESUS is HIS name,
HOLINESS HIS claim...
 
Prophecy declared this event,
Long before HIS descent
From the HEAVENS above,
In an unprecedented, and radical act of LOVE...
 
Some recognized HIM, many did not,
Though HE was far, and wide, sought.
HIS people did not receive HIM, for they believed HE would come in grandiosity,
This humble servant did not fit their ideal of how HE should be...
 
No problem, THE LORD had it all worked out long before; HIS WILL BE DONE,
It doesn't matter if it is accepted by everyone;
It would work according to HIS PLAN, in which SALVATION would bring,
All others into the presence of, THE ONE TRUE KING...
 
On a beautiful, clear night, the skies opened up to HIS GLORY,
To fulfill what to many, is nothing but a story;
HE came down to rest in a manger, under the star that the 3 Magi followed to see,
This miracle which brought forth a DIVINE, and absolute SOVEREIGN, baby...
 
From that hour forward the fate of humanity was given HOPE, and LIFE;
GRACE, and MERCY would ease the endless strife,
IF one is willing to accept CHRIST JESUS as their SAVIOUR, and LORD,
And align to HIS instructions detailed perfectly, in HIS WORD...
 
Evil, and wickedness inclined people to sin against *GOD*, against each other too,
From early on, the weakness for temptation, grew, and grew,
To the point where it seemed normal, at least it is considered so,
By those who, THE TRUTH, do not yet know...
 
When I AM arrived on this planet, HE suffered in more ways than not,
Necessary to the lessons which were to be to HIS CHOSEN, taught,
So that they would understand that HE can relate to everyone, and everything,
Ah, such brilliance, and genius into the world, HE did bring...
 
HIS time here was not that long, it wasn't meant to be, but it was intense,
As of eternity, HE must reach whom HE might, with an urgent sense,
Of what is to come, and of the choices between LIFE, or death,
No, HE didn't waste one moment of HIS PRECIOUS breath...
 
A few thousand years ago, the deal was sealed, and the enemy,
Was condemned forever; that HIS OWN might be free;
Sharing HIS PERFECT NATURE with selfless affection, and care,
Our LORD LIFTED us from constant despair...
 
Still, we are far from where we could be IF we opened up ourselves, honestly,
IF we could just believe that the REAL world is waiting for us, anxiously;
THE KINGDOM IS our home; it IS Eden only better, and without end,
It is more than we could ask for, still, it is SO difficult for most to comprehend...
 
It is CHRISTmas, THE HOLY days that we celebrate each year,
Though, not fully, as is evident in all of the misery, ever so near!
May we detach from this realm, and fasten to HIM; let JOY begin;
We CAN RELY ON THE LORD *GOD* to make us happier than we have ever been!!!
 
PRAISE THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY FOR HIS GIFT of PURE LOVE, and MAJESTY;
WORSHIP HIM evermore, and HONOUR HIM endlessly!
THANK YOU CHRIST JESUS, YOU ARE our ONLY WAY, TRUTH, and LIGHT,
Let us GLORIFY YOU as we FOLLOW YOU, day and night!!!

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
