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

MONDAY: THE MIGHT OF MENTALITY: THE GOOD WE TAP INTO WITHIN BRINGS HOPE TO A LOST WORLD...

BE the best you can be, in the name of THE LORD *GOD*, NOT in the name of the world! REACH into yourself, know yourself, and utilize the spring of good which IS within! SERVE *GOD*, and others, with your gifts, with your kindness, with your compassion, with your heart of LOVE---

Exist in who you are, but make improvements along THE WAY! BE YOURSELF, only better all the while, as you relinquish who, or what the world has been trying to form you into, because the world CANNOT free your reality, nor open your storehouse of good!!!

*GOD* MADE us IN HIS IMAGE, but that doesn't mean physically, instead, it is of THE SPIRIT, and our soul! There IS a whole other being we have trouble tapping into, or managing, or maintaining as we journey this valley, for we are constantly challenged by the carnality of this world, which causes us to think, speak, act, and react contrary to our TRUTH...

Alas, we ARE in this world, and we WILL take on too much of it, HOWEVER, we DON'T have to be bound by it, especially IF we commit TO THE LORD *GOD*! We surely are gonna be tripped, but we don't have to be trapped in the process, nor do we have to be intimidated by our stumbling, though it might be frequent at times, and more than we think it should be...

WORSHIP OF *GOD*, and being devout, is NOT like a prison sentence, it IS FREEDOM TO BE! ONLY those who adore the flesh will consider commitment to HIM in such a negative way! When we give ourselves UP TO HIM, it opens our eyes, our ears, our senses TO WHOM HE CREATED us to be, and encourages us, as well as enables us TO pay it forward, as we DO HAVE within, MUCH to share, and leave in our wake, FOR HIS GLORY, and the betterment of all!!!

ON the Earth, NOT OF it! IF we are OF *GOD*, we are OF THE KINGDOM, and as travelers in this time, FOR HIS GLORY, and as partners to HIS WILL! We ARE different; we ARE separated; we ARE on a narrow PATH, one which is less worn, or even barely known, but which leads us through the valley of this realm! Our aim is NOT to impress the worldly citizens, but to INSPIRE them to seek *GOD*, TRUTH, and LOVE; we, of course, will suffer, as most do not want to see, or hear, or acknowledge, yet, it IS our work...

One only needs to take a while to notice that RIGHT NOW, we OUGHT to be doing everything feasible to be grabbing souls from the fire! Just look, and listen! As is written of the end times, we ARE observing more, and more! Respect, regard, compassion, understanding, tolerance, and many of LOVE'S core components ARE being tossed aside, as the majority increases in hostility, anger, tantrums, violence, scheming, lying, immorality, and well, it is now the new 'normal' to be radical, unhinged, and worse. Yah, we HAVE work to do, but we gotta be working on ourselves too, THAT we ARE REFLECTING THE LORD, and TRUTH...

We HAVE BEEN CALLED, and we HAVE a role IN HIS PLAN to SAVE as many as will come to their senses! If we ignore our roles, we are missing the opportunity to reach souls who just might be lost due to ignorance, stubbornness, misinformation, and so forth; we ARE BEACONS OF HOPE FOR these! INSPIRING others TO take the next step IS part of this role; and this we do BY BEING A TRUE REFLECTION OF HIM, THAT they MIGHT SEE HIM in us, and so, this is where we are obligated to ever improve ourselves...

No reason to walk around like a monk; most of us are NOT cut out for such; instead, it is more like RECOGNIZING the obvious differences between those OF HIM, and the world, AND embracing it enough to exist in it HONESTLY, REGARDLESS of the opposition to our doing so, or the many challenges which will be thrown our way for doing so. *GOD* gave us our own personality, our own individual means FOR the purpose of touching, and stirring others TO the point of CONSIDERING THE LORD *GOD*, and their NEED OF HIM, for the sake of their souls...

Surely, we surrender a LOT of the world's holds on us FOR HIM, yet, doing so is a POSITIVE, NOT negative, because IN committing TO THE LORD, and our TRUTH, we ARE BLESSED in ways which cannot even be counted...

Putting on the new self OPENS UP to a whole new existence, and while it IS in contrast to all on this planet, it IS our rightful, and intended existence, in which we find ALL we need!!!

Sometimes we feel as if we are the ones whom are strange, or odd, and perhaps we appear so, especially as the world becomes more blatant in the rebellion, but we CAN endure, and persevere, and thrive BECAUSE of this! I KNOW the feeling well, still, I am find I am more moved by the sadness I feel for the many who haven't discovered THE LORD, HIS GRACE, MERCY, and LOVE, for where they are headed IS to be dreaded...

No sense in suffering loneliness, we are NOT alone! No profit in suffering in ANY way due to the world, for we are NOT of this world, and our LORD IS FAITHFUL TO THE FAITHFUL! When we encounter the tests, trials, and tribulations, we RAISE OUR PRAYERS, and OUR RELIANCE ON HIM, and we THANK HIM FOR ALL HE IS, and DOES! When we are discouraged, we PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, and REJOICE; in doing so, we are LIFTED, and EMPOWERED to keep on keepin' on! HOW GREAT, and WISE IS OUR FATHER, our LORD, our *GOD*, our SAVIOUR, our KING, our HOLY SPIRIT, our EVERYTHING, therefore, let us NOT be taken low, as we ARE ELEVATED IN HIS NAME, AMEN!!!

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
