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 WORLD OF *GOD* IS THE WORLD I SEEK...

We must ALWAYS place *GOD* as the primary thought of our minds; in doing so, our actions will be more likely to align to HIS WILL, which means we will be walking in HIS WAYS!!!

Matthew 6:33...
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matthew 22:37-40...
37/He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38/This is the greatest and first commandment.
39/And a
second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40/On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.”

Galatians 2:20...
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

For instance, I wake up in the morning, and, straight away, thank *GOD* for this day, along with a short prayer; I could not start my day without doing so, for it IS HE whom gave me this day, and, whom has rule over this day, regardless of how it might seem! As a good child, I wish to please my FATHER, and, while I have a long way to truly pleasing HIM, IF I attempt daily to do so, I am doing the right thing, which is what HE asks for from us! LOVE of *GOD* is imperative to walking in rightful ways, and, to keeping to the paths of HIS WILL! I LOVE my LORD *GOD* so much that I am willing to stand alone through the rest of my life, just to please HIM, which does happen, as people are not comfortable with those who place importance on daily pleasing of *GOD*! I have already noticed much avoidance from people, and, am pretty much on a solo walk with HIM, which is, I imagine, as it should be, that influence does not shake up the paths before us!!!

*GOD* is the LOVE of my life; there is none whom can compare; therefore, it is only fitting that I think, act, and, react IN that LOVE, and, NOT of the world, even though, I am NOT perfected in my walk with HIM, and, may never be, I do NOT consider this a hindrance, instead, an inspiration to better myself in HIS sight!!!

Sin is automatic in humanity; it shall never flee us, however, the more I think IN HIS WAYS, the less likely I am to CONSCIOUSLY commit sin, and, if I do, the easier it is to catch it, correct it, and, repent for it! See what I am getting at? WHEN we are HONESTLY walking in HIS WAYS, we are AWARE of what we do, thus, we are more likely to remember to do the right thing in ALL circumstances...

Evil can assault me all it wants, I am SURE in my walk with *GOD*, and, the more sure I become, the less effect evil has on my life, save for wanting to make sure others get the gist of how to protect themselves, as well! *GOD* will LEAD you through evil IF your heart of mind IS in HIS interests, primarily, OVER ALL else, including personal safety, as, FAITH is knowledge, in HOPE, that HE will guide, protect, heal, lead, and, provide for your every need; thus, evil has no more power, for you are NOT of the world, but, of *GOD*! This IS so difficult for people to grasp in their minds, they are so used to what is seen, that what is not seen is not real enough for them to attach to, and so, they remain AWAY from *GOD*, and, IN the world, which is dangerous to the end!!!

LEARN the full breadth of placing *GOD* before ALL else, and, watch as your life changes, for the better! It DOES take time, requires diligence, patience, fortitude, and, TOTAL belief in HIM, and, HIS LOVE for us, but, it is THE MOST IMPERATIVE alteration you can make to, and, for your life, in the here, and, now, and, in the end! LOVE *GOD* with ALL your being, then, you will see the difference this one action of all actions, can make!!! 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...

LOVE ONE ANOTHER---DAN LUEDERS
