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

TALKING TIME: TIME IS IN HIS HANDS...

To walk in THE WAY, requires a commitment of time, because in the time we devote, we are granted more, and more understanding, knowledge, and wisdom, plus, we further enjoin with what is right, just, whole, and good, through association, practice, and dedication...

THIS time is the ONLY time we have to step into our TRUE selves, the spirit, and, given the human condition, the evil ruler of this world, and the world's ways, it is NOT easy! We have SO much to learn! Yet, it IS the most imperative action we can take, for the LOVE of *GOD*, and HIS GRACE...

Our youth is spent in distraction, no doubt, as SO much of this worldly life entices us, beckons us, and excites the senses! As we grow, we begin to see that something is missing, something doesn't seem quite right with the world; we have experienced the lies, the disappointments, the sufferings, and many of the negatives that come by way of the world...

THE LIGHT has been shining in the world the whole time, but, the world ruler is effective at shrouding it, that, we are led farther away from it! THE LORD has been observing, and searching our hearts, and we are aware of HIM, though, because of the way we are raised, what the world has to offer seems like a treasure trove. Then, we begin to feel the lack which the world cannot fulfill, not even in part, yet, some assume this to be something wrong in themselves, as they slip into depression, loneliness, emptiness, a sense of not belonging, and so forth. This is the beginning of realization, thus, the time to awaken fully to THE TRUTH...

It would be optimal IF we were raised in THE WAY, in THE LIGHT, in THE TRUTH from birth, but, we are not! And, I am sure this has purpose too, because the way to appreciate what is just, right, and good, is to experience it's opposition! At least, for many! Thus, as we grow in age, and awareness, much time has already been used! So, when we begin to sense that there is more, time becomes essential, and IF we are discovering HIM in part, it is time to GRAB onto what is occurring, because this IS the opening of the windows to Heaven...

When we are young, we believe time is on our side, and this is one of the lies, and misconceptions of this world! Our time is but a breath in the span of what is! Time is NOT on our side, we have a short span of it to perfect the spirit, and come INTO our TRUE self, the spirit! Time KEEPS ON SLIPPING AWAY! WHO CREATED TIME, and WHO HOLDS TIME in HIS hands??? Think of how MANY have perished without the opportunity to become WHO they really are! Let us PRAY that HE WILL keep their souls...

Another factor in wasting precious time is the fear that living committed to THE LORD, is hard work, boring, stifling, and takes away from life! This is deception working overtime! Time spent in commitment to THE LORD is anything but! In doing so, we find COMFORT, PEACE, ASSURANCE, CALM, LOVE, and ALL sorts of other GOODNESS that ELEVATES us, and, our lives, PLUS we can move forward, KNOWING we ARE in the BEST CARE available, as HE LEADS us home, safely!!!

No, it is not easy, but, it is well worth our efforts to use our time FOR HIM! After all, our role in HIS DIVINE order is FOR, and TO HIS GLORY! This is an area that sends people in the opposite direction, the FACT that this ain't about us, instead about THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, but, THIS TRUTH SHALL set you FREE!!!

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!!!

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
