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

SUPPOSE IT IS THE WRATH OF *GOD*???

Certain countries seem to be hard hit, repeatedly, in various ways, as if some lessons NEED to be recognized, then heeded....

Particular behaviours, and deeds are happening in these certain countries, which have, most definitely, the potential to invoke the wrath of *GOD*, first, in the form of warnings, then increasingly, more severe...

Throughout the world, practices against HIM are occurring moment, by moment; practices even worse than those that saw the fiery end of the ancient cities Sodom, and Gomorrah, along with it's peoples...

People are LOST in PURSUIT! Pursuits of all kinds! Pursuits of the wrong kind! Pursuits which satiate the self OVER *GOD*, and, in many cases, not only defy HIM, but deny HIM...

Idolatry is rampant because of these pursuits! One must NEVER forget that idolatry is more than carved, hand-crafted objects created for worship! Instead, it is ANY pursuit against HIS WILL, and the well-being of ALL in CREATION. Pursuits unnatural to the GOOD of the intended well-being of ALL...

Idolatry finds it's roots in the 7 Deadly Sins: lust, greed, gluttony, envy, sloth, wrath, and, PRIDE, because these expound, and expand upon themselves, in the UNCONTROLLED person! The uncontrolled person SEEKS to fulfill what is beckoning. What is beckoning the most urgently, is generally, in opposition to *GOD*, HIS WILL, and, what is wholesome...

Idolatry sees people adoring themselves, things, times, and especially, what they do NOT have, or, may never have, in which case, their FOCUS lies on such, as they CHASE, with fervent intent, what has NO significance to TRUE LIFE...

Idolatry INFURIATES *GOD* beyond explanation, BECAUSE of the ETERNAL damage incurred, and because of, the wide spread ignorance which leads people to this state. HE LOVES us, while the perpetrator, the evil one, whom influences people to sell their souls to pursuit, detests, and despises us, equal to the wrath such invokes in *GOD*...

ALL which is wrong, IS correctable! It BEGINS, and ends with LOVE! IF we live IN THE LAW, which IS LOVE, we are ABOVE what is wrong! We LOVE *GOD* ENOUGH to honour, obey, and worship HIM! We LOVE HIS TEMPLE, the body! We LOVE one another enough to support, encourage, enable, and inspire, towards what is right! We LOVE the GIFT of LIFE enough to grasp onto it's purpose, OVER all of this temporal world, and existence! We LOVE in thought, action, and reaction, MORE than ANY thing, ANY one, or ANY temptation in this time zone...

NOT so difficult to understand, yet, OBVIOUSLY difficult to align to, especially for the uninformed, suffering, and wrongly influenced...

WHY is simple: DECEPTION! The enemy of LIFE works diligently in the egocentric being, particularly in those who LACK in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and/or, basic comforts! Deception URGES the hungry, homeless, impoverished, helpless, unloved, and those of other sufferings, to SEEK reprieve, and improvement, THOUGH in ways which further diminish their success, as well as the favours of *GOD*! Thus, people worship money, drugs, sex, food, alcohol, and other temporal fixes inspired by deception, which then, spreads forth, like disease, creating human trafficking, slavery, pornography of intense deviation, violence, and more, along with, TOTAL disregard for what is healthy, just, right, *GOD*!!!

Police, Military, Politicians, world leaders, all the way through the ranks of society, including the corrupt of the Churches, then see the PROFIT, as well as the advantage of keeping the people under SOME influence or another, INCREASING the wrong being done...

Most complain, cry, and some work towards change, but, most are stagnated, even thwarted, and being the adaptive peoples we are, especially to what becomes commonplace, we then become complacent, either born of fear, or, having given up the battle against what SEEMS unchangeable, and HUGE...

What IF what is happening all over the world, but particularly in certain countries, over and over again, IS THE WRATH OF *GOD*? Would this change anyone, or anything? People, let us STOP, LOOK around, and THINK! Let us OPEN our ears, our eyes, our hearts, to ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of what deception has created, inflamed, and increased, WHILE there is time to do so! It is NEVER TOO LATE to TURN to *GOD*, to HIS WILL, to what is GOOD, and for sure, what has anyone to lose? NOTHING! Instead, there is MUCH to gain, much more than we realize...

As we celebrate the GIFT of LOVE, CHRIST JESUS, our SAVIOUR, let us reflect upon HIM who came to offer renewal of LIFE to the condemned dead, so we would NO longer be enslaved to deception, but FREE in LOVE, what is clean, pure, whole, just, right, and, good! While THE GIFT OF LIFE IS OF GRACE, it is NOT to be mocked, nor challenged, by using it as a license to sin more, or greater, because to do so, defies the LOVE in which it was given! 1 PETER 2: 16...
Be free, yet without using freedom as a pretext for evil, but as slaves of God...

We are a Chosen race, and, ARE to BE HOLY as HE is HOLY! We are to be the salt of SOUNDNESS! AND we ARE to SHINE like lights in the world! PHILIPPIANS 2: 15...
that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like lights in the world,

CHOOSE whom you will serve, for you CANNOT serve 2 masters! MATTHEW 6: 24...
"No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon...

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...

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...
