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

CONSEQUENTIALLY ASTUTE...

The examples of CONSEQUENCE in this time SHOULD be enough to make EVERYONE THINK before they speak, act, or react, but alas, there is as if a bad seed is being sown...

To those who choose to exist in the wrong, to those who live for the moment, for those who spend their anger as if it were breath, for those who harm, abuse, and all the way through to taking the life of another, to all those who just don't care, IS IT, WILL IT BE, or WAS IT WORTH it, after all???

From mere Children, to even some Elderly people, the LACK of understanding of consequence is being seen, as people relinquish self-control, saying, and doing things that not only they will suffer for the rest of their lives, but whom others suffer from...

Take the person who killed a soccer referee in a fit of anger because he was expelled from a game, and will now face a LONG haul in prison, not to mention the altering of the lives of those people who knew, and LOVED the soccer referee. I HAVE to ask, WAS IT WORTH IT???

BEFORE we say, or do anything, we SHOULD consider the consequences, for they are generally, FAR reaching, and long lasting! We NEED to STOP and ask ourselves, WILL IT BE WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN???

Those who are lost in their PASSIONS, have no self-control, nor do few of those who are lost in desperation! THIS is ONE prime illustration of WHY *GOD* HAS GIVEN us EXACT instructions about HOW to exist in this realm, where we are bombarded with negative temptation from the enemy, who plays on our already weak natures!!!
Society is producing hearts these days colder than the tundra; they are hardened almost beyond comprehension, and they are endangering society, greatly, as a epidemic, which is spreading, and spiraling out of control, all based on LACK! Such people are LACKING in wisdom, understanding, knowledge, LOVE, and much more, but mostly, they are lacking TRUTH, and *GOD*! They know NOT their TRUE identity, and hold little value for their own lives, let alone the lives of others, but as soon as they are placed into the judicial system, they whine, cry, and feign remorse, which SOME might actually feel, but again, I HAVE TO ASK, WAS IT WORTH IT? WAS harming another for a extra buck, or one more high, or to prove yourself, WORTH spending time in prison for, and for ruining your OWN life for, and for facing the JUDGEMENT OF *GOD*? REALLY, WAS IT WORTH IT???

The message of CONSEQUENCE MUST BE TAUGHT to our Children, and to those who can be helped through! CONSEQUENCE REACHES FARTHER than this present time, it REACHES THE HEAVENS, and AFFECTS YOUR ETERNAL standing! THINK about it, and LEARN about it!!!

Free will we have, and free will we abuse, as we IMAGINE that it gives us license to act as we like, or feel! Free will is MUCH more complex than to feed the self, it is what determines our truth, and creates either smooth waters in societies, or causes tidal waves of negativity throughout!!!

YOU can make your wrongs into rights, but consequences cannot be changed, and so...

For EVERY weakness, there IS STRENGTH; for EVERY thought, action, and reaction, there IS a choice, and for EVERY choice there IS CONSEQUENCE! And so, WHATEVER you do, ASK yourself BEFORE, IS IT WORTH IT, now, later, and forever?!?

*GOD'S* GENIUS instructions PROVIDE for what is right, just, and good, AS WELL AS a way to GROW BEYOND what keeps us down, what causes us to remain in ignorance, what creates negativity to foster, and what takes our very souls!!!

People CHOOSE to live in bonds placed by their circumstances, conditions, environments, and the world, BUT too often, they are LACKING in the knowledge to make these choices! Adults, and Parents OUGHT to not only TEACH the TRUTH of such, they OUGHT to BE the exemplification of TRUTH!!!

CONSEQUENCE = IS IT WORTH IT???

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
