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

FAITH IS AN INDESTRUCTIBLE, PERMANENT BOND...

Again, I am baffled by the way people act in troubled times! Believe me, I understand troubled times, and, realize that reacting is human, but, to become one iota, removed from your FAITH in *GOD*, is to lose ground in the race to win!!!

I have more than my share of troubles, too, but, for me, it seems that my FAITH increases in times of trouble! I KNOW *GOD* is near, and, is moving in my life, which, seriously, comforts me, and, grants me PEACE! I don't think that there is anything more important to develop than FAITH, as, it is Supernaturally beneficial, in abundant ways! I used to fall into the TRAP of emotionalism, as well, but, I have learned, that is a ploy of the deceiver, AND, it does NOT serve any purpose, in fact, makes matters worse, as the negativity of being induced by the strains, the stress, and, other effects of these times, creates more problems, including that which eats away, at your health, and, health is imperative to our walk with *GOD*, because, the WHOLE of you MUST be working as one in order for your goal to be met!!!

This week has been very trying, I have incurred LOTS of discord, troubles, problems, and, other such, but, I HAVE endured, with a calmness, and, with GREAT FAITH! I BELIEVE in *GOD* SO MUCH, that I have no reason to succumb to anything besides HIM! TOTAL SURRENDER is KEY to oneness with *GOD*! IN that surrendering, lies the will, strength, and, courage necessary to opening the windows to Heaven, or, *GOD'S* unleashing of assistance, resolve, guidance, and, protection!!!

I have noticed many people almost LOST in their sufferings, and, more than a few of them are versed in the importance of FAITH, BUT, somehow, cannot muster enough of it to see their problems through! You CAN'T say that you have FAITH, IF you DON'T stand steadfast in it, as, ACTION is half of the TRUTH of FAITH! Granted, this human condition, coupled with the deceiver, makes us weak, in more ways than we realize, thus, we cave in under pressure, BUT, this is exactly WHY we are to develop our FAITH as a breastplate, as a shield, BECAUSE, for the TRULY FAITHFUL, deception CANNOT INFILTRATE, and, cause us to wane, sway, falter, or, grow faint, in our BELIEF of *GOD*! YES, it takes time, YES, we are in harm's way, always, HOWEVER, *GOD* WILLS that we develop a FAITH which will serve us, and, save us, come that day when the battle of all battles, between *GOD*, and, evil ensues, bottom line!!!

So, IF you cannot muster enough FAITH to endure life's ongoing problems, some of which aren't worthy of such exasperation, fear, and, torment, HOW are you going to withstand the deadly assaults of Lucifer, come that day of days? Do you see what *GOD* means???

I am NOT trying to lecture you, I CARE for you, and, WANT you to be safe, and, FAITH IS IMPERATIVE TO SAFETY, HEALTH, and, ALL PROVISION! FAITH is THE BOND, which SHOULD be indestructible, BETWEEN YOU, and, *GOD*! It IS the ACTUAL PROOF THAT YOU BELONG TO HIM, and, WITH HIM, and, IF it is honed to perfection, it IS INDESTRUCTIBLE BY ANY thing!!!

*GOD* KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED us, that we would have a tough time, grasping the full empowerment of FAITH, thus, in HIS WORD, HE made sure, that instructions, and, reminders concerning FAITH, were placed throughout the WORD, to KEEP your MIND IN FAITH, that it would take seed, and, flourish! Now, IF we are ONE with the WORD, which IS *GOD*, then, FAITH SHOULD BE INTRINSIC TO OUR BEINGS, more so, as we GROW into spiritual maturity!!!

Instead of becoming one with hurt, pain, suffering, or, other negatives, as they arise, CONCENTRATE on your FAITH! KEEP YOUR MIND BUSY with MAINTAINING FAITH, and, you will notice the PEACE which comes of doing so! Not only that, but, *GOD* will, surely, see your increased FAITH, and, will BLESS you, according, to HIS WILL, and, HIS PROMISES to the FAITHFUL!!!

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
