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

*GOD* THE MAN: A STORY???

One day long ago, as *GOD* in Heaven looked down upon the Earth, observing HIS fallen Angel, Satan, and, the chaos he had created, a haven of lawlessness, and, wrongdoing, in HIS world. The evil one had been very busy, for sure, causing confusion, delusion, and, a vacuum of sinful behaviours in the people whom *GOD* had brought into life...

Genius that *GOD* is, HE realized that HIS CREATION of perfection, had gone awry, here, and, there; perhaps due to the image conception of the beings HE had made, and, perhaps the LOVE with which HE had CREATED, had also mirrored, rendering it less than it's actual state...

Knowing HE had to do something, HE devised a plan; although this plan pre-existed before all else, it was time to employ it! HE CREATED a perfect man whom would lead much of the world to salvation! Though ALL of the world was privy to the same, not all would accept, or, believe in this man, born of immaculate conception! HE was born in this way that HIS perfect state would not be compromised by defilement through mortal conceptional standards, and, being born of *GOD*, through HIS HOLY SPIRIT, the perfect man retained a state of pure wholesomeness untainted...

Now, this man, the extension of *GOD* HIMSELF, was to live as normally as possible for a certain amount of years, which came to 12, at which time HE began teaching the mysteries of life in the Temples! As HE came of age, HIS tests, trials, and, tribulations would begin, that *GOD*, through HIM, could experience firsthand, and, fully, the egocentric self of humanity! The human condition, as it is called, had weakened to the point of faltering rapidly, and, readily to the slightest influence by Satan. Also, *GOD'S* plan was to take the evil deceiver down a few notches from his lofty assumption that ALL men are weak, by showing HIM directly, that not all carnal beings are subject to his evil wiles...

The perfect man was tempted, fiercely, for 40 days, and for, 40 nights without pause! Satan imposed upon HIM temptations, wrongful thoughts, induced visions, bewilderments, and, much more, worse than any known by most mortal men! The Angels of Heaven surrounded HIM, ministering during the onslought of tests, as HE cried, and, tormented over them! However, HE prevailed, and, learned just how the human condition is affected by the effects of constant assualt upon their strenghts, reasoning, logic, consciousness, character, perseverance, endurance, and other virtuous necessities for withstanding intense pressures from the evil realm, as well as the effects it has upon the limited Wisdom they possess!!!

The perfect man, *GOD*, might not have endured without the supplication of the Angel's, and so, now, HE fully understands, explicitally, what mankind faces in a lifetime of living in this world! Thus, the plan furthered, and, salvation was granted to all, via belief in HIS stepping into the human realm, as a man!!!

Satan, fearful of losing souls, rushed to minds of the people, implanting more confusion over what they had witnessed, even though, many did retain their belief in what they had experienced through *GOD*, the man, others turned away from the probability of *GOD* living in the flesh, and so, denounced the perfect man, plotting to end HIS overwhelming effect upon the masses, spreading lies about HIM, and, contradicting all of the wonders HE had shown the world in HIS beauty! They did not realize, that this too, was a part of HIS plan, that HE would shed HIS own blood to seal the convenant of salvation for HIS believers, HIS people! And so, the perfect man was beaten, tortured, then, crucified, as all watched, some in shock, some in fear, some in vengance!!!

Upon HIS death, HE cried out, "FATHER, forgive them, for they know not what they do!" Until HIS dying breath, HE retained compassion for HIS CREATION, mankind, and, was appeased, knowing that now, through HIS coming to life in the flesh, that those who seek HIM, will come home to HIM, as HE mercifully, through HIS experience, grants them salvation for their human condition!!!

I don't know about you, but, I am indebted to HIM eternally for LOVING us so much that, HE too, felt it important enough to experience what we endure, and more, all for the sake of saving us from the clutches of Satan, and, his ill-run world! AMEN, PRAISE *GOD*, for HE is most present, feeling, giving, and, gracious *GOD*, and, HIS LOVE is everlasting for ALL HE has CREATED!!!

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!!!
