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

SEEK YE, *GOD* OF ALL CREATION, FIRST...


We view the world in various ways, most of our perceptions border on negativity, but, that is not the reality of this world; this world is POWERED, and, empowered by POSITIVITY, in fact, so much so, that our enemy, the deceiver, has done everything possible to keep us from KNOWING the TRUTH, and, that we, remain in the dark!!!

So used to the confusion, longing, anxiety, and, other effects of this life, are we, that we are CONVINCED that this IS our reality, then, we cling to it, like a tattered old blanket of security, though, we seek, in hope, for betterment! Well, as long as we BELIEVE this is our fate, so it shall be, with more, and, worse to come!!!

*GOD* has ALL the resources, and, comforts we need, but, alas, HE expects us to loosen our overly tight clench on the world; this frightens us to the point of, further confusion, then, we are torn, as we KNOW that HE, IS THE WAY!!!

We are told to relinquish our holds on the world, which, conjures up many unfavourable ideas, most of which, are false. We IMAGINE that we have to give up all good things, so, we freak, deciding to IGNORE this instruction, though, it is DELUSION which is, creating our fears in regard, to instruction(s)...

Listen, to give up our hold on the world, means to place *GOD* first; to fear, then, to LOVE HIM, TRUST, and, BELIEVE in HIM, as we adhere to the innate GOODNESS within, while, LIVING in LOVE; for self, and, for others; to WORSHIP, PRAISE, and, be THANKFUL unto HIM, and, to have FAITH that HE, ALONE, IS ALL POWERFUL, and, IS moving in our lives! All else that we need, HE WILL provide for us. You see, we are, GREATLY misinformed, thus, we have it, MOSTLY, BACKWARDS! We THINK that we are to build our lives, then, to seek HIM, and so, we are living in the flesh, CARNALLY, instead of, SPIRITUALLY, in the first place, which is reversed from what is rightful, and, DOES add unto us, all else! *GOD* empowers, enables, enriches, and, encourages, the KNOWING, and, the DEVOUT!!!

A life in *GOD* is best illustrated by people, such as, King Solomon, whom WAS BLESSED abundantly, as, he SOUGHT *GOD*, WISDOM, and, KNOWLEDGE, PRIMARILY, OVER all else! *GOD* bestowed upon him, and, his people, massive wealth, comforts, and, all they could hope for! Solomon is but one example, and, YES, even these examples, faltered, HOWEVER, they had it right, FROM the start, and so, WERE BLESSED, indeed!!!

That we LONG for riches, and, abundances, IS a sign that our thoughts are misled, and, our grips ARE on the world, NOT *GOD*! SEEK *GOD* FIRST, and, HE WILL ADD UNTO THEE, all else!!! (1 KINGS 3:13, MATTHEW 6:33, LUKE 12:31)

Satan is the elemental ruler of the Earth; he is EXTREMELY intelligent, well-versed, and, knowing, since he WAS one of *GOD'S* favoured Angels, UNTIL greed, jealousy, and, rivalry, downed him to the world! He IS INTENT on felling souls, and, robbing us of ANY wholesomeness we possess, as well as TRUE happiness, AND, WE, ignorantly, even, innocently, play right into his game of shame, PARTLY, because we DO NOT SEEK *GOD* FIRST, with our WHOLE beings!!!

THE WORD of *GOD*, is a BOOK of BOOKS, of instructions to AID us in AVOIDING the traps, snares, and, pitfalls of the brilliant deceiver! IT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPERATIVE thing we NEED to NAVIGATE us through this life! It offers KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, SAFETY, ASSURANCES, COMFORT, EMPOWERMENT, and, ALL POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES, NECESSARY TO securing a wonderfully, BLESSED life, AND, when we EMBRACE it's gifts, we find UNDERSTANDING enough, that, a bit, at a time, our overly tight clench on the world, diminishes, thus, gone are the aches, and, pains, associated with that tight grasp!!!

*GOD* IS AMAZINGLY GENIUS, and, I BELIEVE this with ALL my being!!! PRAISE HIM ALL THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, and, ALL IN CREATION, AMEN!!!

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
