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

LOVE: THE COMMUNAL CONCEPTION...

Besides LOVE, in it's PUREST form; that is, selfless, courageous, and, purposeful for the WHOLE, CHRIST JESUS brought to the world, CONCEPTUAL ACTS of LOVE, such as COMMUNITY, and/or, COMMUNAL living! You see, IN the premise of LOVE, ALL things WORK towards, and, FOR, the WHOLE, to enable it's PERFECT state to ever expand!!!

COMMUNAL living is such that, IF, mankind EMBRACED, and, UTILIZED this CONCEPTION in LOVE, there would be NO hunger, NO homelessness, and, NONE of the far reaching effects of WANT/NEED, by those who are impoverished; in FACT, impoverishment would NOT EXIST, as, EVERYONE would care for one, and, for all!!!

ACTS 2:42-47...
42/ They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43/ Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
44/ All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45/ They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
46/ Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47/ praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.


ACTS 4:32-35...
32/ All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
33/ With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all
34/ that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales
35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

These Scriptures are but two of the message for COMMUNITY, and, COMMUNAL living, and, ARE imperative to our walk with *GOD*/CHRIST! How perfect life would be, and, certainly, CAN be, IF we ACTUALLY, HONESTLY, lived in the CHURCH/CHRIST!!!

MATTHEW 19:21...
21/ Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

The gist was/IS to make SURE that ALL people of *GOD* are cared for, which IS, LOVE alive! Some of the components of LOVE ARE, COMPASSION, CARING, SHARING, SELFLESSNESS, and, other related descriptors!!!

IF we walked in CHRIST JESUS', *GOD'S* LOVE, THERE WOULD BE NO IMPOVERISHMENT, nor, the far reaching consequences of it, as, EVERY PERSON WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR, OUT OF LOVE, by the ONENESS of BELIEVERS!!!

How many of us COULD, or, WOULD sell all we had, keeping only what we need to survive, that our fellowman was provided for? It is the egocentric self, or, SELFISHNESS, which makes us falter in our walk with *GOD*, which is EXACTLY, as the great deceiver wants it to be, as then, we are in danger of losing our salvation, because we are NOT living as JESUS commanded, nor, as HE lived! You remember, don't you, that when you took HIM as your LORD, and, SAVIOUR, you AGREED to BECOME ONE with HIM, AND, to take up HIS yoke, which includes, TAKING CARE OF ONE ANOTHER, IN LOVE, as a COMMUNITY!!!

Again, the answers ARE available to the KNOWING, to the DILIGENTLY INFORMED believers: world hunger, and, homelessness, and, their far reaching effects COULD be COMPLETELY ERADICATED BY LOVE! That kind of LOVE which COMES FROM *GOD* HIMSELF! HE has placed ALL TRUTHS, AND, SOLUTIONS at our fingertips, in the WORD, which, IF we open up our HEART of the mind, IS easy to digest, and, then, to utilize, BECAUSE LOVE IS the SOLE foundation, for ALL, and, EVERYTHING! Again, I have to say this, IF WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD LOVE, we would never suffer, because LOVE holds NOTHING NEGATIVE within it's WHOLE, and, all opposition to LOVE is worldly induced, by err, by sin, by selfishness!!!

IGNORANCE is dangerous in our walk WITH, and, TO *GOD*, as, the evil of the world preys on this ignorance, far removing us from the LIGHT OF TRUTH, that TRUTH which HOLDS PROVISIONS of EVERY SINGLE KIND, for ALL of the living, and, for life!!!

In the Eternal order, there will not be distinctions between the souls therein, besides the HIGHEST order of the HOLIEST! There will be no poor, no hungry, no needy, nothing negative at all, just PURITY OF LOVE existent forevermore! As IT IS IN HEAVEN, so shall it be on Earth is one of *GOD'S* greatest, and, most honorable wishes for mankind, HOWEVER, UNLESS mankind COMPLIES, which requires UNDERSTANDING, and, UTILIZATION, HOW can there be HEAVENLY life on Earth? On the other hand, IF we were to LEARN, then, PRACTICE HIS PRECEPTS, it COULD BE!!!

Dear FATHER, who ART in HEAVEN, we ask that YOU aid us in the opening of our HEARTS, that heart of the mind, which IS the key to TRUTH, and, to UNDERSTANDING, that we are better enabled to GRASP YOUR WAYS, then, to LIVE in them, in a SINCERELY HONEST effort of compliance, and, obedience, for YOUR WAYS ARE PERFECT, and, hold so many solutions, which, IF we COULD surrender to fully, would heal the world!
Many say that YOUR precepts do not apply to all ages, this, I know, is wrong, for YOUR PLAN is ETERNAL, and, the ages repeat themselves in all ways, as long as mankind is ignorant, defiant, and, rebellious to YOUR COMMANDS!
YOU know life is not easy, especially for the unknowing, the untaught, and, the unrighteous, thus, YOU HAVE given us the tools, the WISDOM, and, the guidance necessary for us to EMBRACE the TRUTH! I pray for ALL of mankind, when I ask that YOU, in YOUR PERFECT Mercy, open our eyes, our ears, our hearts, that we CAN become as YOU would have us to be! Yes, I also know that there are those who are NEVER going to comply, as it is also, part of YOUR PLAN, still, I have HOPE FILLED FAITH that, at least, YOUR Chosen, might become Wise enough to SEE, HEAR, FEEL, and, ACT in the INSTRUCTIONS which YOU, out of LOVE, made available for us to LEARN, then, utilize!
Thank YOU, FATHER, for placing at our disposal, ALL KNOWLEDGE which CAN, and, WILL lead the TRUE BELIEVERS home to YOU, I am ever grateful, humbled, and, filled with AWE of YOUR kind of LOVE, and, I PRAY earnestly, that myself, and, others, can grasp even a portion of that sort of LOVE, and, make the world a better place, that the ETERNAL ORDER might be more GLORIOUS than the efforts of the evil deceiver's attempts, have indicated at this time!
Thank YOU, our FATHER, our LORD, our *GOD*, our SAVIOUR, our HOLY SPIRIT, for giving us life, and, for the lessons it takes to survive this life in YOUR name, may we become intelligent enough in LOVE, to grab ahold of these lessons, place them in our souls, and, never let them go!
ALL PRAISE be unto THEE, GENIUS of life, LOVE of all LOVE, and, existence ETERNAL! AMEN!!!

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...
