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

WHEN IT GETS TOUGH, WE LOOK HIGHER!!!

Turmoil surrounds us, but PEACE CAN be found, ALWAYS; HIS NAME IS THE LORD; CHRIST JESUS; our SAVIOUR---

Even CHRIST experienced the emotionalism of the days HE walked this Earth! HE wept, HE PRAYED, and HE FELT deeply, the effects of this world! NO ONE can escape what is common to this realm; NO drug, NOR drink, NOR any other worldly means can alleviate, or dull the being to never experiencing it, EXCEPT CHRIST JESUS AS a PERPETUAL PRESENCE in our existence here! ONLY HE CAN BRING HOPE, PEACE, and JOY; though it is difficult to convey into words, it is TRUE! While it is supernatural, it manifests as reality, WHEN the heart, and mind are OPEN TO HIM, HIS WILL, and HIS WAYS...

My people, and myself, are experiencing all sorts of problems, medical issues, including breast cancer, and other circumstances, and it is like all at one time, spanning through the branches! If not for FAITH, and FAITHFULNESS, some would be rendered broken down! To explain to non-believers, or weak believers is a trying task, as the reasoning NEVER depicts THE TRUTH enough, so, we rely on the results to speak for FAITH, and FAITHFULNESS, AS we give THANKS, and PRAISE UNTO THE LORD *GOD*, our SAVIOUR, our ROCK, our SURE, and PRESENT HELP!!!

*GOD* IS REAL, and HIS POWERS ARE MANIFEST for those who LOVE HIM, and align TO HIM! Non-believers, or those weak in FAITH, HAVE TO SEE, HEAR, and TOUCH BEFORE they believe, and so, we have the stubbornness, and resistance! Even though miracles, and other DIVINE works OUGHT to cause them to consider their iron-willed stance, they won't, or need more evidence! Not only this, many are prone to humanizing *GOD*, so, since HE IS AN ENTITY, since HE IS SPIRIT, they dismiss HIM, and HIS TRUTH! They deny, or forget that our physical being is NOT our reality, instead, our soul IS; which IS that which we were created in HIS likeness after! The body perishes, the spirit, the soul, is eternal!!!

People need to realize that HE touches us in a multitude of ways, and is ALWAYS proactively working FOR our good, and safety, but, those who deny HIM, are either being brought to a moment of revelation, or are missing out...

ALL of *GOD'S* people SHALL be humbled, and sometimes, they are brought to rock bottom in order to experience their NEED OF HIM, and to FIND HIM! There ARE lessons in ALL struggles in this realm; we CANNOT avoid them, as they ARE part of the whole, and initiate growth, along with aiding us in eradicating self reliance, that we might RELY ON HIM! Even some of those who proclaim CHRIST JESUS as their LORD, and SAVIOUR, WILL be brought to a point of reckoning, as they have NOT as of yet, acknowledged, or partaken in the ridding of the old self in favour of the TRUE self, the spirit...
In THE LORD'S WAY, the intangible can become tangible, via results, and BLESSINGS! To deny the possibility, is to deny the being...

I just got a call with more bad news, and I am amazed how much is hitting the fan at one time! But, I WILL hold on, and THANK THE LORD in advance for HIS intervention, and provision in this time! There is NO better alternative, and without HIM, we would be swept away in the currents of the mighty storm which is raging!!!

EVERYTHING works out; even if during the battle, it seems it won't! We ARE designed to endure, persevere, withstand, overcome, and win against all odds, IF we are FAITHFUL, and continue in FAITH! *GOD* IS GOOD; HE IS MIGHTY; HE IS RULER OVER ALL, and EVERYTHING, hence, my SOLID belief, and TRUST IN HIM!!!

ROMANS 5: 1-5...
1+++Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2+++through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 
3+++And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 
4+++and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 
5+++and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

A blessed change takes place in the sinner's state, when he becomes a true believer, whatever he has been. Being justified by faith he has peace with God. The holy, righteous God, cannot be at peace with a sinner, while under the guilt of sin. Justification takes away the guilt, and so makes way for peace. This is through our Lord Jesus Christ; through him as the great Peace-maker, the Mediator between God and man. The saints' happy state is a state of grace. Into this grace we are brought, which teaches that we were not born in this state. We could not have got into it of ourselves, but we are led into it, as pardoned offenders. 

Therein we stand, a posture that denotes perseverance; we stand firm and safe, upheld by the power of the enemy. And those who have hope for the glory of God hereafter, have enough to rejoice in now. Tribulation worketh patience, not in and of itself, but the powerful grace of God working in and with the tribulation. Patient sufferers have most of the Divine consolations, which abound as afflictions abound. It works needful experience of ourselves. This hope will not disappoint, because it is sealed with the Holy Spirit as a Spirit of love. It is the gracious work of the blessed Spirit to shed abroad the love of God in the hearts of all the saints. A right sense of God's love to us, will make us not ashamed, either of our hope, or of our sufferings for him.

HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD, and ALL GLORY BE TO HIM!!!

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
