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

ONE WAY: HIS WAY!!!

Life is not to be spent in extremes, instead, to be spent in *GOD*, as with HIM, all balance prevails, and, truly, ONLY when we become as close to HIM as is feasible!!!

Don't be too wise, nor, too foolish! Don't be extreme in any thing, instead, your entire focus must be upon the LORD, our *GOD*, for HE holds ALL, and, EVERYTHING in HIS MAJESTIC POWERS; things, such as, provision, happiness, PEACE, advancement, health, growth, and, all other incidents of a fulfilled life!!!

Life is short, it is imperative to align to *GOD*, for HE, alone, holds the truth of our existence, and, our end! Thus, to learn of HIM, and, to understand HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, and, HIS benevolence, IS to ADD to this life, in many, diversely, wholesome ways!!!

Time is not to squander, nor, to be, too conservative, in; balance is optimal, in all things, except for LOVE, FAITH, devotion, PRAISE, worship, prayer, and, supplication, for these, multiply occurrences of gain, for the body, the mind, and, the soul, as *GOD*, alone, IS the giver of gifts to HIS CREATION!!!

The most difficult thing for humanity to grasp, understand, and, adhere to, is, that this life is NOT ours; it belongs to *GOD*, FOR *GOD*, that HE is GLORIFIED by the good which comes of mankind, especially, in instances, where one has LIFTED themselves from the muck of deceived living!!!

When we go to extremes, or, cling to life, we are subject to the rule of the world's principalities, elemental powers, and, authorities, which, take us down, down, down, to prove themselves victorious over *GOD*. It is important to note that their efforts, ARE, vain, in reality of HIM, but, they ARE able to steal as many souls as are uniformed, ignorant, and, unwilling, to surrender to *GOD*, in which case, IS predetermined, and, yet, open to repentance, in most cases! The war we are caught up in, does not concern flesh, and, blood, instead, the battle for the spirit, which, WHOLLY BELONGS TO *GOD*, as, HE, ALONE, CREATED EACH ONE, but, the deceiver claims to have power enough to corrupt the spirit enough, to REMOVE them, permanently, from the GRACE of *GOD*, which is, redundant, because *GOD* has said, "I will have MERCY on whom I will have MERCY upon!", making this attempt, by the evil one, seemingly, useless, but, DOES hold PURPOSE IN THE ETERNAL ORDER OF *GOD*!!!

OPTIMALLY, life should be lived to SERVE *GOD*, that the spirit is free from the difficulties of evil, with it's far reaching consequences! It is so difficult for people who are not aware, to understand, but, those of us who HAVE come UP from the pits, cling to with our every strength, for we KNOW, what the MOST PROMINENT, and, BENEFICIAL POWER in our lives is, *GOD*! We have LEARNED, the hard way, the effects the world has had upon us, and, how damaging those effects have been, and so, have RETURNED/TURNED to *GOD*, that we are safe, healthy, happy, and, ever growing in the ways of goodness, for this IS THE TRUE MEASURE OF LIFE!!!

I used to feel sorry for people like me, who were thrown into the pits, but, now, I feel sorry for people who have lived complacent lives, and, are not really aware of the extremes, for they are not SURE to the point of surrender, or, submission, to *GOD*, leaving them on the cusp of extremes, as they fluctuate in character, and, mannerism, while holding onto belief, but, not exerting enough will to be completely safe from dangers of the world!!!

As you come closer to *GOD*, you will find ALL you need to make your life an experience worthy of the time! HE WILL manifest in your life, many BLESSINGS, favours, and, fulfill HIS promises! HE LOVES US, so much so, that HE HAS, INDEED, provided a SURE way for us to escape the throes of the world, and, to improve our limited days upon this Earth! But, it is repeatedly stated, that those who are indifferent, or, unwilling, or, defiant, or, ignorantly unlearned of HIM, are in danger of losing HIS GRACIOUS MERCY, forever, and, ever!!!

Live life IN HIM, and, extremes will flee from you! You will find bounty unlimited, and, develop a spirit, both mature, and, rich enough, to GLORIFY HIM, with ease, and, with sincerity; all else has nothing to do with HIM, save for the purpose of PROVING HIM as the ONE, the ONLY, the EVERMORE!!!

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
