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

THE BODY 'IS' A TEMPLE...


SO many things happening in our society, due to the increase of illicitness, of depraved lusting, of uncontrolled desires, as is written, so, it is, BUT, that doesn't mean that it HAS to be this way! This age of computer offerings for every lust imagined, has added, greatly, to the problem at hand! Many do not consider it a problem, that SO many are chasing after desires, lustfully, via sites, that, cater to uncontrolled passions, but, it IS a MOST serious problem, one which, is unhealthy, not only to the individual, but, to Families, and, is setting an AWFUL trend for the future, the Children! I am no prude, I experienced life firsthand, but, I AM afraid for the world, given the down slide of morality, and, of the complacency towards, what is occurring! HOW many couples are being destroyed by the lack of self control? HOW many Families are suffering? HOW far does this have to go BEFORE the world begins to recognize the far reaching damages OF this trend???

1 CORINTHIANS 6:17-20...
17/But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
18/Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body.
19/Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
20/For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.

AVOID IMMORALITY IN the NAME of *GOD*, and, AS PROOF of your LOVE for HIM!!! Sex is NOT despised by *GOD*, HE gave us this gift to share, but, between Husband, and, Wife, for their pleasure, and, for reproducing, NOT to become depraved, out of control, FAR away from what is good in the eyes of the LORD!!!

All I am saying is that enough, is enough, and, it is beyond enough! Sick things are making sick people; people who canNOT find the will to control themselves, and, it is spilling over into the lives of toooooooooooo many! Sex is best when shared out of LOVE, and, out of respectful regard for one another; NOT as a means to satiate fantasies with as many as possible, in as many ways as one can dream up!!!

Don't you know that, again, LOVE is the answer! LOVE of *GOD*, LOVE of self, LOVE of your people, LOVE of others! ONLY in the gist of LOVE, can this vacuum of wrongness, of deception be eradicated! I only wish for people to be safe from their egocentric minds, that they find their way back to their FATHER, the LORD, our *GOD!!!

ROMANS 11:17-24...
17/ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,
18/ do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider that you do not support the root; the root supports you.
19/ Indeed you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
20/ That is so. They were broken off because of unbelief, but you are there because of faith. So do not become haughty, but stand in awe.
21/ For if God did not spare the natural branches, [perhaps] he will not spare you either.
22/ See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God’s kindness to you, provided you remain in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.
23/ And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24/ For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated one, how much more will they who belong to it by nature be grafted back into their own olive tree.

SEE THEN, the KINDNESS, and, SEVERITY of *GOD*: severity toward those who fell, but, *GOD'S* kindness to you, PROVIDED YOU REMAIN IN HIS KINDNESS; otherwise, you too, will be cut off!!!

ROMANS 12:1-2...
1/ I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.
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.

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!!!!

ROMANS 13:11-14...
11/ And do this because you know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed;
12/ the night is advanced, the day is at hand. Let us then throw off the works of darkness [and] put on the armor of light;
13/ let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in rivalry and jealousy.
14/ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.

BUT PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, and, MAKE NO PROVISION FOR DESIRES OF THE FLESH!!!

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
