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

FIND YOUR WAY...

The stoic religious mentality has done great harm to society, as well as, those who are too permissive, and, lean towards clemency! The stoic have scared people, the lenient have allowed people to live as they choose, both dangerous to the end!!!

Moderation IS the key to ALL aspects of life, including religious examples, behaviours, actions, and, demands! True, we ARE to align to *GOD* in fullness, yet, HE KNOWS us better than we know ourselves, and, while our lives are to be devout, they need not be without joy, nor, should we live as immature adolescents!!!

Being devout is a process which covers a lifetime, and, should not be considered as if one were to become a Monk! Being devout is LOVING *GOD*, self, and, others; it is about LEARNING HIS WAYS, HIS WILL, and, applying those instructions to every day life! It is about worshipping HIM, PRAISING HIM, GLORIFYING HIM, and, communicating with HIM, WHILE being the person HE CREATED! Look, HE knows what HE is doing, and, HE CREATED each of us with purpose, intent, reason, and, expectation of HIS own design! The messed up lives we live in, are to teach us that we are NOT slaves to life, but, to HIM! I hear you saying, "Slaves?", and, yes, to walk with *GOD* is to be enslaved by HIM, the ALMIGHTY KING of ALL, and, EVERYTHING! HOWEVER, it is not the wicked slavery that mankind devised! NO! It is a beautiful, honourable, beneficial state of eternal existence, full of LOVE, LIGHT, and, glory's of all kinds! Each willing servant of HIS, IS justly rewarded, and, guaranteed an existence surpassing ANY riches imaginable, or, seen in the history of mankind! It is all about fulfillment of the most positive, wonderful kind!!!

I refuse to preach, it is not my style, instead, I only hope to reach! I am under obligation to *GOD* to put out the TRUTH, and, what you do with that TRUTH is your choice, but, if I do not put it out there, and, someone is lost due to ignorance, I AM held accountable in the end!!!

The greatest advice I can give to you is this; life is NOT yours for living in a dream state! It is *GOD'S* life, in which YOU are a imperative part, for HIS purpose, and, while you were given free choice, that does not mean that you can throw it all to the wind, and, act like you are a teen all the days of your life! This is what separates us from the TRUTH, and, separates the FAITHFUL ELECT, from those lost to the temptations of the world! I gotta tell ya, life passes quickly, plus, if you are living dangerously, you never know when that will take ya out, and, if you haven't attempted, you are doomed! It is not a game, *GOD* IS REAL, and, HIS judgement day IS coming, so, you NEED to pay attention to the facts! I understand that too many of the Clergy have ruined it for us, but, does that change the facts? NO! LEARN, then, understand, then, you will SEE!!!

You don't have to do a total 360! You only need to alter that which is hindering, binding, and, defeating; that which is outside of *GOD*! That which is dangerously affecting your state of life in the now, and, in the end! Like, let's say you are addicted to drugs; that state makes you vulnerable to all sorts of things, mostly sinful, and, places you, and, those near to you, at risk! IF you don't alter your ways, you could die from an overdose, or, from doing too much, for too long, WITHOUT ever having had the chance to repent, or, align to *GOD*, which MEANS, that final day of reckoning, you are lost to eternal death! Again, hell is not an end, but, an eternity of agonizing for that which you most desired in life! So, if you die from being a drug addict, without repenting, come that final day, you will be thrown into the agony of the fiercest desire for that drug without satiation, without end! That is some scary information!!!

YOU can be YOU, but, you NEED to walk with *GOD*, for that IS the ONLY path to fulfillment, and, to safety, and, to life! Yes, you HAVE to change some things, that is what growth is all about, but, considering the consequences of NOT changing, is that such a dramatic thing???

We are all, SUPPOSED to grow up, and, if we walk with *GOD* along the way, that maturity is amazingly advantageous! As we DEVELOP in HIS WAYS, HE grants us optimizations which are enduring, enriching, and, plenteous! *GOD* LOVES us in a way, or, ways, which we cannot ever relate to, or, even if we can manage to discern of it's measure, we could never hope to convey it justifiably! HE made each of us, along with our faults, flaws, and, downfalls, that we MIGHT somewhere along the line, GET IT, and, BY altering our behaviours, thus, developing, growing, we might GLORIFY HIS existence, through our alterations!!!

Idolatry is widely misunderstood! But, it is one of the easiest ways to sin, next to the mouth! Idolatry is LOVE of anything OVER *GOD*, and, which has a hold on your logic, conscious mind, via desire, stubbornness, defiance, and, other related behaviours! This is important to understand, because, it IS true; most of us ARE idol worshippers WITHOUT even knowing it! Some idolize their spouse, or, their children more than *GOD*; others idolize things, others idolize self, some idolize substances, money, and, so on! It is due to ignorance, and, the way we are raised which places us in jeopardy, which is exactly as the enemy, the deceiver, would have it, which is WHY *GOD* has placed people such as myself, in this life, to INFORM you of the dangers of that ignorance, that you might THINK, then, seek the TRUTHS, and, knowledge, that you ARE saved by GRACE!!!

So many lessons to learn, to consider, to employ WHILE you can! Yet, because of wrongful teachers, preachers, and, other, there is hesitation to do so! This is all part of the DIVINE ORDER as well, but, *GOD* WOULD NOT HAVE IT THAT YOU WERE NOT AWARE before HE makes HIS final judgement; thus, you ARE given the opportunity, THROUGH such information as I am offering, that YOU have truly, made your choices! See what I mean???

DON'T let things, self-inclination, or, misinformation bind you to that which you do not wish, IN THE END! DON'T let the end be like a fantasy game to you; it IS REAL, and, while be eternally binding! Get in touch with *GOD* on your own, read, devour the texts, commune with HIM, and, LET HIM lead you to the RIGHT choice for your end! Be wary of those who are extremists, and, those who share only PARTS of the TRUTH, for they are evading the REALITY of the WHOLE of the WORD, and, of HIS WILL! HE WANTS each of us to have a favorable eternity, it is NOT HIS intention that ANY should perish, thus, HE wants to make sure that ALL ARE informed, otherwise, deception will take many of HIS CHILDREN down to the pits!!!

PRAISE *GOD* for HE HAS placed all salvation at our disposal, we only need to learn of it, and, then, to embrace it for the wondrous gift of LOVE it is, that we ARE present with HIM in the hereafter! There is no other way; HE IS THE WAY!!!

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!!!

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
