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

TRUE HAPPINESS: GET YOUR WISDOM ON...

There comes no lasting, nor, real happiness, except that from the LORD, our *GOD*, and, from having a true relationship with HIM! The completion of the soul, the character, and, the heart of hearts, opens up to more fulfillment, and, it is not that we will ever, complete the being, but, the efforts of development, lead us there!!!

The BOOK of PROVERBS, SHOULD be decreed as a teaching tool for all people's of the world, for within it's pages, lies great knowledge, and, wisdom's of HOW to live in *GOD*! The pages, therein, offer lessons concerning all matters in life, as well as, lessons on HOW to conduct, and, perfect the spirit, which, belongs to *GOD*!!!

MATTHEW 6:33, teaches us that we ARE to SEEK the KINGDOM of *GOD* FIRST, BEFORE all else, and, all things will be given unto you as well! All throughout The WORD, *GOD* has commanded us to SEEK HIM BEFORE all else, as there IS empowerment in doing so; there is safety, there is guidance, there is happiness, and, then, LASTING fulfillment! To GO ABOUT placing *GOD* first, before all else, we have much to study, learn, understand, embrace, and, utilize, although, the beginning is a DESIRE for *GOD*, and, HIS WAYS, which, will then, LEAD us to becoming spiritually mature, as, nothing else, of this world, or, of the carnal mind, will have power over us, for *GOD*, alone, shall rule our beings, and, as promised, will add unto us, that which we need, want, long for, of course, as long as these matters are aligned to HIS WILL, and, HIS WAYS!!!

PROVERBS 1:7...
7/ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction fools despise.

The fear of the LORD IS THE BEGINNING of KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, and, INSTRUCTION, BECAUSE, when we FEAR the LORD, we KNOW, somewhere, deep inside, that HIS HEIGHT, BREADTH, DEPTH, and, LENGTH, concerning all matters, IS FAR ABOVE all else! We RESPECT, and, REGARD, as well as, HONOUR HIS GENIUS, thus, ACCEPT HIS PLAN AS GOLDEN! We REALIZE that AWAY from HIM, and, HIS plan, there is NO happiness to be found, no pleasure to retain, no growth to last!!!

ALL of the greatest stories of the BIBLE find people whom have SOUGHT *GOD*, sometimes BEFORE they were ravaged by the world, but, mostly, AFTERWARDS, when they KNEW for SURE that *GOD* IS LORD, and, SAVIOUR, and, SPIRIT! WHEN they TURNED to HIM, HE attended to them, in every way, as HIS LOVE is full of promise, and, empowerment! Know this, a walk with *GOD* is NOT a part-time thing, it requires BEING constant, within, consistency, but, once you begin, it becomes pleasurable, and, sweet to the senses, so, the effort is not a burden, instead, a BLESSING!!!

PROVERBS 1:28-33 (WISDOM speaking)...
28/ "Then they call me, but I answer not; they seek me, but find me not;
29/ Because they hated knowledge, and chose not the fear of the LORD;
30/ They ignored my counsel, they spurned all my reproof; And in their arrogance they preferred arrogance, and like fools they hated knowledge:
31/ "Now they must eat the fruit of their own way, and with their own devices be glutted.
32/ For the self-will of the simple kills them, the smugness of fools destroys them.
33/ But he who obeys me dwells in security, in peace, without fear of harm."

Get your WISDOM on, and, walk with *GOD*, for HE, ALONE, in HIS LOVE, and, promises, IS ALL RESOLVE, ALL HOPE, ALL HAPPINESS!!!

PRAISE *GOD*; the FATHER, SON, and, HOLY GHOST, forever, and, more!!!

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
