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

DYNAMIC OPTIONS OF EXISTENCE...


The dynamics of existence are POWERFUL, and so, whatever we choose to exist in, DOES have bearing on our lives, in the now, as well as, ever after! Cause, and, effect, ARE prominently, and, precariously imminent! These dynamics of existence, DESPITE our entitlement TO choices, ultimately, remains within the power of *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*; even, the brazen opposition, the enemy of life!!!

As the world melts away, with ALL factions of struggle, *GOD* WILL RETAIN control, and, ONLY the GOOD will have survived! The consequences of living outside of WHOLESOMENESS, will be evident, as, all outside of this, is, and, never will be, OF *GOD*!!!

The enemy of *GOD*, of life, does NOT believe that we have ANY worth, let alone, ANY claim to wholesomeness. He is intelligent, well-versed, and, knowledgeable of the human condition, fully aware of our weak state of the EGOCENTRIC mind, so, BECAUSE we so EASILY FALTER, largely, due to his interference, and, influence, he has a strong case, HOWEVER, he forgets that with *GOD*, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, thus, *GOD*, SURELY WILL, lead HIS Chosen to liberation from this schemer! *GOD* WILL lead us to LEARNING HOW to ARISE from the clutches of the backwash of erroneous decisions! BUT, the enemy WILL FIGHT, desperately, to regain authority OVER the egocentric being, as, he DETESTS us, therefore, our greatest DEFENSE against him, IS to SHIFT to a conscientious state, INCLINED to pleasing *GOD*, OVER self!!!

Let us BECOME GOOD, to the BEST of our abilities, and, capacities! Let us do so, FOR HIS GLORY, AND, for the welfare of ALL! We MUST LEARN, and, become KNOWLEDGEABLE of LOVE, virtues, charity, and, ALL WHOLESOMENESS, which, IS, and, WILL BE, challenging, given the human state of existence, in which, our incorrect upbringing, HAS made us faulty, faltering, even, ignorant to RIGHTFUL living!!!

We WILL waver, indeed; old habits are difficult to alter, YET, we MUST keep on perfecting the character, IN the channels of LOVE, morality, ethics, and, ALL GOOD behaviours, which FREE us, ALLOWING for the GRACE of spiritual maturity, thus, greater safety IN our existence, now, and, hopefully, forever!!!

Most do NOT have to become as monks, to perfect the spirit; one only has to TURN to *GOD*, fear HIM, sincerely, LOVE HIM, then, comply to HIS WILL, and, HIS WAYS, THROUGH resisting that which is NOT *GODLY*, then, become STRONG in FAITH, TRUE in LOVE towards others, KIND to ALL, DEVOTED to *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*, as well as, CONSISTENTLY striving to IMPROVE the being, FOR HIS GLORY, and, TO the BENEFIT of ALL! You CAN be YOU, only BETTER! Yes, of course, you have to relinquish your hold on certain things, such as, excess, greed, wrongful thoughts, actions, and, reactions, plus more, HOWEVER, this WILL lead to GREATER advantages, now, and, always!!!

There are TWO planes of existence in the dynamics of CREATION: the Natural plane, and, the Spiritual plane. The Natural plane is carnal, fleshy, worldly, thus, COULD be considered an aggressive state of existence, whereas, the Spiritual plane is of *GOD*, and, COULD be considered a passive state of existence. The Natural plane is BAD for the entire being, the Spiritual plane is GOOD for the entire being! BOTH HOLD IMMENSE POWERS, from birth unto the end!!!

*GOD*/LOVE is GOOD, sound, valid, honourable, adequate, proficient, pleasant, pleasurable, reliable, precious, virtuous, exemplary, agreeable, admirable, benevolent, pure, safe, commendable, and, much, more more! This state of existence IS empowering, endlessly, for ALL whom embrace it!!!

All else, or, that of the world, coupled with our weak, imperfect mentality, is WRONG, BAD, undesirable, for any length of time, or, pleasure, unkind to us, thrashing us about, in many ways, and, FILLED with negatives TO the point of OVERTAKING the INNATE GOOD borne to us, and, worse!!!

This is WHY *GOD* wants us to SEE, then, UNDERSTAND, the NEED to BECOME what you TRULY are made of, NOT the product of deception, and, misguidance, which, the deceiver, and, the world, along with it's ways, SEIZE our beings into, then, take us down with!!!

WHEN you CAREFULLY assess, then, weigh, the options of existence, there ISN'T much choice, is there???

Seriously, *GOD'S* WAY IS healthy, satisfying, nurturing, strong, secure, rewarding, peaceful, encouraging, enriching, enabling, empowering, and, eternal!!!

The only other option is fleeting, frail, turbulent, disruptive, damaging, dangerous, insecure, weak, deceptive, unfulfilling, lethal, empty, confounding, and, comprised of NOTHING more than negligible conditions, and, circumstances, with weighty binds, which cause the demise of the being, entirely, and, eternally!!!

The dynamics of existence ARE POWERFUL, thus, QUITE worthy of your attention; that you ARE awakened to awareness of YOUR options, and so, you CAN, TRULY, begin to LIVE as *GOD* intended; IN the WHOLESOME GOODNESS of HIS PERFECT CREATION!!!

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
