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

PRIORITIES & CHOICES...

Priorities matter to everyone, and everything on this Earth---

From what we are lacking in understanding, and in the effects of our mistakes, we are pointed to better ways! Our priorities are NOT what they could be, and certainly, not what they should be, obvious in a zillion instances! Nations care little about their people, but their race to arms, and stockpiling is extravagant! This is just one example, but it is a crucial one, in that, the focus is upon weapons which have the power to destroy the planet, and all on it, as if that were pertinent in any way to any thing! Seriously!!!

IF our priorities were right, there would be NO need for weapons, and the world would thrive! IF our focus was upon THE LORD *GOD*, Marriage, Family, Church, and then Government, it would be vastly different on this planet! Because THE LAW OF *GOD* IS LOVE, there would be selflessness, compassion, care, ethics, virtue, morality, tolerance, acceptance, and all which derives of the core principles of LOVE! This would assure no hunger, no poverty, or any other NEED which IS a stepping stone to negative behaviours, hence, sin! IF we HONOURED THE LORD *GOD*, Marriage would be strengthened, and intact, which would then, foster the wholesomeness of the Family, which would then, see more functional, and productive members of societies across the globe! Churched people continue to come closer to the goals of wholesomeness, PEACE, LOVE, and being LIFTED from what plagues humans in this realm, and enforces the bonds of comm'UNITY', thus, more willingness to work TOGETHER for the betterment of ALL! Government would be dramatically altered IF we existed as we were intended to, as the enticement of power, and greed would be lessened THROUGH *GOD*, LOVE, Church, and respect, and regard towards others!!!

Right now, there IS gnashing of the teeth, there IS great hostility, there IS ongoing violence, there ARE people snapping all over the place, and on the list of negatives go, which IS leading us to a point where the WHOLE Earth, and it's inhabitants WILL suffer greater than they might imagine! IF we DON'T assess our priorities, and focus upon that which TRULY matters, we are heading to worse times, indeed!!!
Hearts and minds ARE being overtaken BY the endless chaos! We ARE being lost TO distractions AIMED to trip, and trap us! Wickedness and evil ARE dominant in these times, and like a vacuum, many ARE being sucked up into things which, honestly, don't have to exist, and if they do, or since they do, NEED TO, and CAN BE CHANGED!!!

They have us right where they want us; absorbed, distracted, and overly attentive to the wrongs; meaning, we are NOT DOING ANYTHING to correct, or eradicate the dangers of the day, as we are TOO busy being sponges of the day's events! Instead of considering where we are heading, too many are captivated! Makes no sense, UNLESS one understands the way evil works against us, and causes us to work against ourselves...

It IS IMPERATIVE that we get our priorities straight, and back away from the slippery slide we are on; otherwise, there is NO future, which we will have destroyed ourselves!!!

It ALL BEGINS WITH *GOD*, and ENDS WITH *GOD*, whether you are willing to accept this, or not, it IS TRUTH! This is NOT about us, albeit, we ARE part of HIS PLAN, and WILL! *GOD* IS LOVE, and IS THE ANSWER, and ANTIDOTE TO ALL we suffer of this world! LOVE PROVIDES in endless ways for the journey through this valley, while lack of it, increases the woes therein! CHOICES MATTER, NOW, and even in eternity, as #1, our souls ARE eternal beings, in which case, they shall exist forever, either IN PEACE, or in turmoil! It IS TIME TO MATURE enough to realize that we ARE in this together, and we ARE capable of greatness, and at this moment, it IS clearly EVIDENT that we MUST make more optimal, and kinder choices!!!

*GOD* HELP US to SEE, then, to FOLLOW THE WAY!!!

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
