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

FREEDOMS MISUSED: MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, NOT A WORSE ONE...

Immaturity has nothing to do with age, or even how educated one is, as is evidenced by the many people who are in position to lead, teach, and influence others! That one's words, actions, or reactions can guide, shape, and impact, even sway another in a wrong way, OUGHT to be EVER considered BEFOREHAND---

A leader, a teacher, ANYONE who has the ability to affect another person, SHOULD be held accountable, AND be responsible enough to KNOW the extent to which they might control someone, whether directly, or indirectly; now, or in the future! It is absolutely dangerous that those with leverage over others, use it for personal agendas, and in erroneous, misguided ways, ESPECIALLY if it creates animosity, anger, violence, bias, prejudice, hatred, and other negatives which NEED to be eradicated, NOT increased!!!

Even the average person HAS the ability to alter someone, via what they say, or do, and not so long ago, it was that we were instructed from an early age to HAVE REGARD for the consequences of what we say, or do, however, in these times, people are speaking, and doing whatever moves them, void of consideration of the short, or long term effects in doing so!!!

I am saddened, and concerned that there are leaders, teachers, and other prominent members of societies, leading people into darkness with their own troubled minds, and deeds, NEVER thinking just how far, or for how long, their pull on others might go! When it comes to inciting people, and causing MORE dissension among us, it is almost criminal in respect to the overall ramifications! WHY would anyone WANT to bring more friction forth? WHAT gain is there in doing so? HAVE they thought about HOW it will affect the future???

Agitators exist everywhere, no doubt, yet, it IS NOT common for them to BE ABLE to lord it over others, well, at least, it never was, BECAUSE we aim to OPTIMIZE all, NOT destroy more, more, and more!!!

LORD, help me to understand WHY it has come to this! WHAT has happened to people THAT they embrace the wicked evil ways of this world? WHERE will it lead us? WHEN will we have had enough of the bad, wrong, and unjust? And HOW will we be able to recover AFTER it escalates to the point of massive discord???

On ALL platforms we read, and hear of people calling for the death of others, based on any of many factors, such as their politics, their skin color, their social rank, and much more! WHAT IS the purpose of wishing death on ANYONE, and WHAT kind of world do we expect to see IN the aftermath of violent ideologies???
*GOD* IS ALIVE, and well, HOWEVER, too many have denied HIM, and ARE ignoring TRUTH, and so, many have turned to themselves, their passions, their lusts, their impurities, ever craving for more, and as the numbers doing so increases, it is considered the 'norm'!!!

Not only have people turned from *GOD*, they REFUTE LOVE, as they measure it on their own inability TO LOVE! When LOVE is far removed, enmity rules; darkness overtakes, and the hearts grow cold, indifferent, and all the more selfish!!!

FOOLISH ARE those who HAVE allowed the oppressive forces of this world to shape them, for evermore they SHALL suffer! BEFORE us EXISTS THE ANSWERS, and THE ANTIDOTES to ALL which degenerates us; we CAN BE REGENERATED, but it seems that BELIEF in what is right, just, and good IS slipping away into the darkness WITH those who CHOOSE it!!!

To those who KNOW better, and ARE mature enough to SEE the dangers we are facing, STAND UP and BE COUNTED, BE HEARD, and INSPIRE, for even if only hundreds are grabbed from the fires, it IS wondrous!!!

EACH person HAS ONE CHANCE TO DO GOOD, but NOT so many WANT to, as they take as many down with them as they can in their misery, in their inferiority, in their absolute selfishness!!!

When a grown Man, or Woman stands before the world spewing darkness, and inciting dark ways, they DON'T consider the Children, the future, and certainly NOT *GOD*, and there CERTAINLY WILL be a price, both for each of them, and in the damages they have left behind!!!

HELP US LORD, on YOU ALONE, I RELY, and IN YOU I TRUST!!!

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
