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

ONLY ONE WAY PAST HELL...

Who, and what am I without THE LORD *GOD*???---

A breath in the shadows, with potential to either soar to the HEAVENS above, or be counted as another statistic? TRULY, my identity, therefore my existence, IS found in HIM, and as difficult as it is, given the years of lies, deception, and misinformation, to DO HIS WILL, I am compelled to as much as I am able! It DOESN'T come readily, or easy for one to give themselves UP TO THE LORD; we exist in contrast to HIS WILL, yet, THANKS BE TO HIM, we HAVE the opportunity to grow INTO HIM, HIS WILL, and HIS WAYS; such IS HIS PLAN to LEAD us through this troubled valley of deception, and lies, and trips, and traps!!!
HE IS MY LORD, MY *GOD*, MY SAVIOUR, MY KING, MY EVERYTHING, for there is NOTHING away from HIM which is real, and lasting! Though I could have sought fame, fortune, and other ideals of this world, NONE of them would satisfy me for long; ONLY HE satisfies the being; HE IS THE MISSING LINK to happiness, to PEACE, to HOPE, to LIFE!!!

Time goes by SO quickly, and I am SO glad that before my time was finished in this realm, I TURNED TO HIM! The way I was brought up, and the way I existed, I could have easily perished away from HIM, which would have found me ETERNALLY separated from the ONLY one who IS! Scary, indeed!!!

There is a trendy notion that hell does not exist, and that there is no need to fear what is to come WHEN HE RETURNS to take HIS own into HIS KINGDOM, though there are about 100 references to hell, 100 about eternal damnation, 100 about eternal torment, and yes, even more referencing eternal punishment! TOO many people ignore THE LORD, deny HIM, defy HIM, and otherwise reject HIM based upon ignorance, and lack of information, which is definitely endangering, and foolish; for all such people will be SHOWN THE TRUTH and eternal suffering! Some imagine that when you die, if you die away from HIM, you are just dead, and suffer nothing again; WRONG! When we exist away from HIM, deny HIM, defy HIM, and so on, when HE COMES, we WILL face HIS JUDGEMENT and WILL endure HIS sentence for our souls, which ARE eternal, and ARE bound to HIS JUDGEMENT, either to be included in HIS KINGDOM eternally, or in the pits of suffering eternally! In that pit of suffering, there is NO escaping suffering, and NO satiation for the longings of what took the place of HIM; it will be awful, and it will be without end, NEVER with ANY HOPE of HIM changing HIS sentencing!!!

I WISH that people WERE taught the WHOLE TRUTH THAT they could better make their choices, and decisions based on HIS WILL, and ETERNAL consequence!!!

PART of the reasons for HIS BEING SO PATIENT with us IS HIS understanding of our lacking in knowledge of TRUTH, and yet, HE HAS PUT IT ALL BEFORE US, therefore, excuses don't cut it with HIM! You see, HE has NO desire to see ANYONE perish, but free will, and the ability to SEEK HIM, rule out excuses, meaning we CAN'T wait UNTIL we bow before HIM to give our allegiance to HIM! ONLY through CHRIST JESUS can one be SAVED, and ONLY through FIDELITY TO THE LORD *GOD*, in FAITHFUL FAITH can one bow confidently before HIM come that DAY!!!
Free will allows us to be safe, or endangered, in that IF we are existing in pride, and the flesh, the enemy IS going to drag us around like rag dolls; tempting, and tripping us, and binding us TO our choices, and lifestyles! IF on the other hand, in our free will we SEEK, and align TO THE LORD, the enemy's powers to take us down with him, are diminished, and ultimately, eradicated! We are taught the ways of the world OVER THE WILL, and WAYS OF THE LORD, and so, from the start, we are endangered, and lost! Yet, HE HAS placed THE TRUTH BEFORE us in diverse ways, THAT we 'get' it, and step INTO HIM!!!

We are NOT our own! CHRIST JESUS bought us with HIS precious blood, and suffering! We WERE CREATED in the image of *GOD* WHOM IS SPIRIT, therefore, our TRUTH is found in our spirit, our soul! The body WILL perish, but the spirit/soul IS eternal, no matter where it spends forever! CHRIST JESUS TAUGHT us that IF we ARE IN HIM, we are DEAD to the world, it's ways, and it's binds, but are ALIVE, and FREE IN HIM! This is an area of great misunderstanding, and misuse these days, because few believe that we OUGHT to heed the TRUTH of being DEAD to the world, instead, most WANT it both ways, which CANNOT be, for IF we ARE OF *GOD*, we KNOW WHOM we LOVE, and SERVE, which IS WAY LOFTIER than the foolishness of the world, and it's ways! We WERE CREATED FOR HIS GLORY, FOR HIS PRAISE, as a HOLY PRIESTHOOD, a PECULIAR people of HIGH standards, and existence! What does that imply???

HOW can we believe in, and look forward to HEAVEN while denying that hell exists, WHEN *GOD* HAS set before us THE CHOICE of LIFE, or of death? Hell is real, and awful! It is NOT where anyone not of the evil one should wind up! Knowledge of what is to come OUGHT to scare the hell out of us all, for the choice IS clear, and IS imminent!!!

We were NOT CREATED to live in wicked evil; instead, we were designed for LOVE, and what is right, just, and good! IF we DON'T succumb to the ways of the world, this TRUTH IS evident in us, but as it is, because of lack of knowledge, understanding, and the will to DO THE WILL of THE LORD, more are endangered than not, EVEN THOUGH IF we TURN TO HIM, HE WOULD LEAD us past all this!!!
Consider the soul, I say it again, and again, BECAUSE it IS CRUCIAL TO THAT DAY OF THE LORD! DON'T be a statistic of folly, BE a HEIR to THE KINGDOM ETERNAL, for THAT IS what we were CREATED FOR!!!

The enemy, the world, ROBS people OF their inheritance, intentionally, and skillfully, DUE to ignorance, and misinformation! ALL through THE BIBLE, THE LORD TEACHES of the dangers we face, and HOW to avoid them; point blank, THROUGH HIM! HE speaks of HIS people perishing for lack of knowledge, and condemns those CHOSEN to lead HIS people through the times, for many of them have gone wayward, and ARE false teachers, preaching PEACE when there is NONE, and appeasing the ears, and fancies of the masses, as they DON'T WANT to think of TRUTH, instead they WANT to revel in the world while they are here, and DON'T believe doing so IS detrimental TO their eternal lot!!!

NEVER can we stop telling the WHOLE of THE TRUTH, for safety RELIES ON *GOD*, and KNOWLEDGE of HIS WILL, and WAYS! The enemy IS well-versed, intelligent, and as is obvious, HAS used even HOLY precepts to twist into ways to deceive people, and lessen their longing FOR ETERNAL JOY, PEACE, FREEDOM, and WELL-BEING! It IS IMPERATIVE that we THINK ALWAYS, BEFORE we make choices, and decisions, FOR the sake of the soul, which WILL be BLESSED, or cursed BY THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY! NO ONE ELSE HAS such power, and so...

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
