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 PRINCIPLES OF PLEASURE (A SERIES: PT.3)...

Hell is described as an eternal existence where one will suffer throughout in THE STATE WHICH caused their demise! For instance, people whom DESIRE wealth over all else, and, LIVE for that wealth, will eternally feel that desire without satiation! Many believe that hell is the end of a life, period, not so; it is the continuance, eternally, of that which disgraced you in the eyes of the LORD, our *GOD*, and, your penalty is that BURNING DESIRE of unfulfillment! How scary is that? Makes me shudder! Did you know that it is written, that some will be in hell, with the desire for *GOD* as their penalty, but, because they did nothing about it while they could, they will burn with desire for HIM eternally? I was shocked to humble fear to learn what hell really is, though I was fearful initially, this really put the submission into me!!!

Hell will be the eternal dwelling place for insatiable hedonists, whom succumbed to the egocentric self, and, failed to acknowledge the source of true pleasure, full of nothing more than constant cries, groans, and, sorrows, for what they once so greatly wanted!!!

So, you see, The Principles of Pleasure, AWAY from, or, OUTSIDE of, *GOD*, are likely, to be condemning in the long run! DESIRE is that which leads us to seek pleasure, and, the root of sin, UNLESS that desire is directed unto our CREATOR, and, HIS WILL!!!

People tell me that I am too heavy, but, it IS my job to do so; the penalty for not warning others is great (JEREMIAH 23) (ACTS 20) (THESS. 5) (1 PETER 5:4)! If only one person whom hears, or, sees such TRUTHS reconsiders the long run of their lives, then, *GOD* has been GLORIFIED! It is not my intention to add to fear, or, to guilt, instead, to enlighten to happiness, and, fulfillment! FREE WILL has given us choices, while the EGOCENTRIC mind ATTEMPTS to defy those choices! Such is the state of life for the living, which brings me to another point, a life should be dedicated to that which is NOT seen, though alive, *GOD*!!! IF WE LIVED in a state as HE would have it, our PLEASURE would be HIS! Instead, we LIVE TO PLEASE SELF OVER HIM, endangering the inevitable, unknown, unpredictable end, thus, we NEED seriously, to CONSIDER all of the facts, BEFORE that time is taken away from us, and, we are eternally bound to that which we INTENDED to rectify, but, did NOT! See what I mean here???

*GOD* spared not HIS own SON (ROMANS 8:32), nor, HIS Angels(2 PETER 2:4), nor others with heightened existences, thus, what makes us soooooooooo sure that HE will, indeed, spare us, EVEN IF we have confessed CHRIST JESUS as our LORD, and, SAVIOUR, BUT, DID NOT live as if we were one with HIM???

FAITH without works IS as if not having FAITH at all (JAMES 2:17-26), thus, you MUST truly, consider the consequences of your WORLDLY life while you CAN! Daily EFFORT aimed TOWARDS pleasing *GOD* will surely, account for much, for HE KNOWS that we ARE sinful people, thus, EFFORT is KEY, but, MUST BE CONSTANT, CONSISTENT, AND, SINCERE!!!

IF you died with CHRIST JESUS in baptism (ROMANS 6:3-14), so died your carnal DESIRES, and, the SEEKING of self-inclined PLEASURES! This IS FACT, which MUST be understood, embraced, and, applied to your life NOW, not, tomorrow, for, we know NOT IF tomorrow will come! Seeking pleasure from *GOD* is TRUE PLEASURE; there is NONE like it, and, your life WILL be fulfilled with abundances of ALL kinds, as HE rewards the diligently honest people whom fear HIM, in LOVE, and, comply to HIS WAYS/WILL! Just BELIEVE that this is true! I KNOW it is true, as I have SEEN HIS BLESSINGS in my life increase with my increased EFFORT, from mind, body, and, soul!!!

Don't waste time you don't have chasing pipe dreams; chase the ONE DREAM WHICH BRINGS YOU HOME TO *GOD*, the dream which COMES TO REALITY THROUGH ADHERENCE, and, APPLICATION of HIS PRECEPTS! LIVE FOR TRUE LIFE, not for the delusional existence upon the Earth, for this is but a testing ground for the sure of the MIGHTY!!!

PLEASURE IS DUALITY OF CONSEQUENCES, A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD, so, choose carefully WHERE your pleasure's source lies!!!

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
