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

LOVE IS LIGHT TO THE DARK WORLD...

*GOD* LOVES YOU: *GOD* LOVES ALL HE HAS CREATED: *GOD* IS after all, LOVE---

People find ways to turn HIS LOVE into negatives all the time; just not seeing that DESPITE HIS GREAT, and UNDYING LOVE, HE does NOT allow for what opposes HIM, or LOVE! HE GAVE free will, THAT EACH person might be evident IN their choices! People cry all the time, "If *GOD* LOVES us, WHY does HE allow this, or that to happen?", and this just proves the lack of understanding, or acknowledgement of responsibility for what we endure in this world!!!

PEOPLE HAVE made the world the way it is BY refusing to come to terms with *GOD*, and HIS WILL, WHILE falling into the clever, cunning deceptive ways of the enemy; evil! PEOPLE ARE the ones who do NOT LOVE as they ought, do NOT CARE as they ought, do NOT have COMPASSION as they ought, and well, on it goes! IF ALL people WERE to exist as *GOD* bids us to, NONE of the crazy, sick, evil would remain!!!

*GOD* HAS been VERY CLEAR in HIS messages, and instructions in HOW to navigate this fallen, and corrupt world, yet FEW are WILLING to embrace, and utilize what HE HAS placed before us! People DON'T like the fact that they are secondary to anyone, or anything, and that they are subject TO HIS WILL OVER all else, SO they IGNORE, and DENY HIS WILL! It DOESN'T matter, *GOD* WILL LOVE everyone, even those HE will deny in the end, as they have denied HIM!!!

*GOD* LOVES no matter what, YET, HE DEMANDS LOVE in return, and why not? IS anyone more worthy? HE DOESN'T want, or need lipservice, or hypocrisy, HE desires TRUE, unfeigned, and TOTAL LOVE from those HE CREATED for great purpose! HE wants HONEST, SINCERE people in HIS KINGDOM, NOT more of what is found on this planet! And YES, HE COULD FIX us all, but you see, HE WILLS that WE ARE PRO-ACTIVE in this journey through this place of reckoning, out of LOVE for HIM, and then for others! HE SEEKS REAL UNITY with those who LOVE HIM!!!

Listen; *GOD*/LOVE IS PURE, and GOOD; thus, those who exist in HIM, in LOVE, ARE, and DO good! IT IS NATURAL TO HIM, and to LOVE to INSPIRE MORE good, and greater goodness! Unfortunately, the human condition, plagued by the enemy, seeks a ONE-SIDED LOVE, as they LONG for HIS LOVE, yet DON'T feel it necessary to BE LOVE themselves, nor to forward it! Humans want it ALL, but are NOT willing to GIVE much themselves, in general, and MUCH of this is due to existing in the world, it's ways, and the flesh! WHEN one TURNS to THE LORD *GOD*, the world, it's ways, and the flesh, begin to remain in the background, as HE, and LOVE, become more prominent, and imperative BECAUSE we SEE what GREATNESS is involved, and rendered!!!

Humanity does all sorts of evil, but EXPECTS good in return! Those who RECOGNIZE their weaknesses, and begin to eradicate the need to exist in evil, and enjoin with THE LORD, ARE those who are now PRO-ACTIVE IN HIM, and HIS LOVE!!!
We CAN'T be yoked to the world, AND *GOD* at the same time; it DOESN'T work that way, regardless of the underlying whisperings of the evil one telling us differently! We CANNOT do, and be against what is *GODLY*, LOVE, and GOOD, and EXPECT anything more than the consequences, WHICH HE HAS CLEARLY depicted! We CAN'T CONTINUE to exist in wrong, and expect only good to come to us! WHERE is the sense in doing so anyway???

Once upon a time, I was lost in this old world, and I mean really lost, not because I chose to be, but because circumstances from a very young age put me out there! Then, on top of all this, despite my SEEKING *GOD*, I was taught wrongly by the world concerning HIM, and was taken even farther away from HIM! Then one early morning, HE RESCUED me, and I began to TRANSFORM, which IS a process, and happens bit by bit, according to MY willingness, and HIS WILL! WHAT good is HIS WILL IF my will resists HIM? Anyway, I made a near 360 turn, and AM now ON THE PATH, and I AIN'T lookin' back, because what was, is no more, and never shall be! I now SEE ALL which I brought on myself BY being removed from HIM, and being shackled by the world, and it's ways! I AM changed, and I AM changing, because LOVE HAS FILLED me, IS teaching me, and IS leading me! My WILL is to fulfill THE WILL OF *GOD*, and this IS key to receiving of HIM!!!

I AIM to DO, and BE good, not for show, instead, FOR HIS GLORY, and whatever good might be brought to others as they journey through this time! I KNOW the IMPERATIVE NEED to BRING *GOD*, and LOVE TO this time, and to the people therein; IT IS OUR ONLY HOPE, and THE PATH to FREEDOM! All else is but snares, traps, and trips into the worst case scenario of what IS to come!!!

One RENOUNCES the world in FAVOUR OF *GOD*, and *GODLINESS*! One RENOUNCES their former ways to be brought into HIM! One STRIVES to FOLLOW HIM CLOSELY, and to ADAPT TO HIM, HIS LOVE, and HIS WILL! One SEES WHY all this IS necessary TO being FREED by the evil of this world, and not only for our own sake, but then this forwards to the sake of others!!!

HOW can I say I renounce the world, IF I CHOOSE to continue in errs which I HAVE control over? Some things we DON'T have control over, but more than not, we DO HAVE CONTROL! IF I renounce the world, but exist in worldly ways, WHERE IS the TRUTH in doing so? It ISN'T that I won't err, it IS that I CONTROL my being in the best of my abilities, according TO HIS WILL, REMAINING LOYAL TO HIM, TO LOVE, and HIS WAYS OVER what is worldly, THAT HE WILL work in me, through me, and around me! SOME people are SO lost in their choices that they struggle badly, and this is a different thing, YET they STILL RETAIN the ability to control themselves, IF they REALLY want to, AND give themselves over to HIM!!!

Despite the endless beauty on this planet, the world is disturbing, and filled with SO much suffering, ALL because we DON'T 'get' THE FACT that *GOD* MEANS MORE than all of this world combined, to say the very least, and IS HE WHO WILL LEAD souls out of this plane, IF they are so WILLING to give HIM their allegiance OVER all else! AND we REFUSE to exist IN THE LOVE which CAUSES the bounties of LOVE!!!

One person here, one person there WHOM CHOOSE to exist in *GOD*, and LOVE CAN, and DO make a difference in this world, and DO bring THE LORDS LIGHT therein! Often, people think that they can't, or don't make a difference, but ANY GOOD brought into the world in the name of *GOD* IS POWERFUL!!!

YES, *GOD* LOVES us ALL, but, HE REQUIRES LOVE from us! It IS HIS WILL, HIS WAY, HIS LAW, because LOVE leaves nothing but good in it's wake!!!

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
