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

AND I LOVE HIM!!!

MATTHEW 22:37...
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...

A walk with *GOD* is a wonderful state of existence in this life! If we could learn to do so, from a young age, what an optimized journey our lives would be! However, it is a part of HIS DIVINE order that we, as we age, become more aware of the benefits of being close to HIM, as then, we have experienced things which deepen the conviction that HE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING, as well as, it refines our FAITH, and, our ability to align to that FAITH!!!

*GOD* IS our FATHER, our CREATOR, our FRIEND, our sure, and, present LIGHT of TRUTH, and, provision! Like the most wonderful parent imaginable, HE gives, gives, and, gives, that we are WELL taken care of! NEVER does HE LOVE us less because we are so flawed, imperfect, and, rebellious! HE DOES give us lessons to learn, that they are taken to the heart, in order to perfect us, and, to make HIM proud! If we could more readily look upon HIM as our FATHER, perhaps it would be all the easier to have a TRUE relationship with HIM, and, for us to WANT to become models of increasingly better people!!!

I have ALWAYS LOVED the LORD, my *GOD*, yet, the closer I get to HIM, the MORE I LOVE HIM, causing me to WANT to become the best me I can, in hopes of honouring HIM, and, pleasing HIM, that HE is GLORIFIED through me, for all the world to see! It is not that I have altered myself so much that I am like a nun, or, a priest, instead, it is like this: I am, IN EFFORT, RECOGNIZING, then, ALIGNING to the righteousness of HIS WILL, and, WAYS! I am still myself, only better with each day, or, at least, I ATTEMPT to become so! I WANT to be with HIM always, and, forever, thus, I KNOW that I HAVE to GROW into the fullness of LOVE, CHARACTER, and, HIS WILL, that I am allowed to!!!

Humans tend to take LOVE for granted, even HIS HOLY LOVE! We cannot take HIM, nor, any aspect of HIM, for granted, especially HIS LOVE! Sure, HE WILL LOVE US always, but, HE DOES require that we LOVE HIM enough to humble, and, heal ourselves WHILE WE ARE ABLE! HIS position is CLEARLY illustrated, and, is to be honoured as is, for HE IS the sole existence, beginning, and, the end! Thus, we should TRY daily, even hourly, to IMPROVE ourselves from the inside out, that HE sees that we ARE walking in LOVE of HIM! HE has said that thinking rightfully is not enough, it must be EVIDENT in our efforts; we must walk the talk, and, talk the walk, so to speak! We must live in LOVE, and, bring that LOVE forward to all we encounter! We must forget about chasing dreams, instead, living in the reality of HIS WILL for our lives! We must surrender to HIS WISDOM, and, HIS intentions, allowing HIS WAY to be manifest OVER ALL ELSE!!!

I wake up PRAISING HIM, I go to sleep PRAISING HIM, and, in between, I pray to HIM, I converse with HIM, and, I tell HIM that I LOVE HIM, so much, because I DO, and, I need to express this to HIM, from thought to action! I have TONS of improvements to make within, but, I am not slowed by this fact, instead, I am fired up by the will of my efforts!!!

Make *GOD* a TRUE part of your lives, treat HIM as your FATHER, allow HIM to fulfill HIS role, which is MIGHTY SURE, and, beneficial for the sincerely FAITHFUL, and, ALWAYS PRAISE HIM for HIS presence, and, BLESSINGS in your life, as well as, let the whole world know that you have the best example of LOVE in your life, your FATHER, our LORD, *GOD*!!!

Have a beautiful week, LET *GOD*, and, move forward with the PEACE of HIS LOVE as your motivation, inspiration, and, exalt HIM, for HE IS AWESOME!!!

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
