LOVE SHALL 'EVER' PREVAIL!!!

Is LOVE stronger than frenzied hatred? Oh, you bet! *GOD* IS LOVE, thus, LOVE also, is without beginning, or, end! LOVE is *GOD* POWERED, and, CANNOT be eradicated, no matter how much hatred exists on Earth! Granted, because few people KNOW this kind of LOVE, hatred CAN take over even those with LOVING hearts, when it comes down what hatred leaves behind! STILL, an understanding, and, knowledgeable mentality OF the LOVE of HIS HOLINESS, remains undaunted, unchanged, unfaltering, no matter what! This is an important reason our FAITH in HIM, and, LOVE is to be ROCK solid, that, we are not tempted to fall into the snares of hatred, or, it's ploys! And, in the POWER of HIS LOVE, we must not cease in prayer, PRAISE, or, WORSHIP!!!

LOVE is tried, and, true, steadfast, and, sure, positive, and, inspiring, uplifting, and, encouraging, and, NEVER leaves those it has BLESSED! LOVE is an energy so powerful it cannot contain itself, not ever! LOVE heals when nothing else can! LOVE changes the heart of hearts, when it is discovered that nothing less than LOVE will do! LOVE is empowering, enabling, endowing, enriching, and, encouraging, regardless of what is before, or, after us! True, hatred can spread like wildfires, increase as an inferno, and, leave LOTS of damage in it's aftermath, but, LOVE WILL be there to heal, and, teach!!!

It ALL goes back to LOVE, to *GOD*, whatever happens in the course of a day! It doesn't matter how much damage we do on this Earth, come the end, *GOD* IN HIS GLORIOUS LOVE, will prevail OVER all else!!!

MONDAY'S MEDITATIONS: MAKE THIS GIFT OF TIME WORTHY!!!

I am still fighting this prevailing, nasty cold, so, am tired, and, sort of out of it, with not much to say:))) I will say this, each day IS a gift from *GOD*, and, IS *GOD* empowered, IF you so let it be! *GOD'S* WILL SHALL be done, no matter what! We resist much of HIS movement in our lives, due to many factors, such as being overwrought with ways of the world, deception, negativity, and, so forth, but, sooner, or later, HIS WILL SHALL be manifest, in every being, in every way! Thus, it is wise to wake up to the intrigue of what HE has in store for you this day, and, look for HIM in this day, that, you are aligned to the benevolence of HIS presence in your life! DON'T waste time being bogged down by what is wrong, because that is to the advantage of the evil ruler, and, removes you from *GOD*! FAITH has us standing strong, regardless! FAITHFULNESS has us working FOR the good of everything, and, everyone! By the undying, unrelenting GRACE of *GOD*, we are entering a new week, and so, in LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, and, gratitude, we ought to MAKE this the best week possible, BY TRUSTING HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, and, using the navigational manual; THE WORD! We need to spend more time in the positives of HIM, HIS LOVE, and, HIS WAYS, that, the negatives are diminished, and, over-powered, thus, lending us more PEACE, and, freedom of existence, righteously!!!

I wish you a most BLESSED week ahead, full of HIS SPIRIT, HIS LOVE, and, HIS example, that you are encouraged, comforted, inclined, and, inspired towards MAKING this time exemplary, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY! HE IS our most PRECIOUS ADVOCATE, and, MENTOR, so, come closer to HIM, there is SUPERNATURAL empowerment to be gathered, used, and, treasured! MUCH LOVE to you! *GOD* BLESS and BE with us ALL! Thank HIM for ALL HE DOES for us, and, PRAISE HIS name, in WORSHIP!!!

TRIED BY FIRE...

For years now, there is a fire burning in my soul,
A fire, which has taken all control,
In it's midst I exist, with humbled reverence,
Because, I KNOW I am in THE LORD'S presence...

I have been, and, am being tested, and, tried,
To bear witness to the carnal being, whom, died
In our SAVIOUR, LORD CHRIST,
But found life in the spirit, more sufficed...

Behind is the nature of sin, I once wore as a chain,
Now, my nature, is more modestly, plain,
Looking forward to the promises of HIS LOVE,
Yes, my thoughts have been trained, on that ABOVE...

Grateful am I, to have been spared, then, formed into
A being on the way to becoming, whole, and, new;
While I will never be perfect in HIS sight,
I can become the reflection of HIS MIGHT...

Refinement is a gift of THE MOST HIGH,
Molten beyond the inclination of I;
Astounding is HIS power to remove the impurity,
Which, has long hindered, humanity...

Thank YOU, LORD, our *GOD*, from my deepest place,
For cleansing me, with YOUR HOLY GRACE,
I pray that I may HONOUR YOU,
For the rest of my days, in whatever I think, say, or do...

SUNDAY'S SACRED SCRIPTURES: MATTHEW 10: 1-16...

MATTHEW 10: 1-16...

1/ Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.

2/ The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3/ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;

4/ Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.

5/ Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town.

6/ Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7/ As you go, make this proclamation: 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

8/ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.

9/ Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;

10/ no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep.

11/ Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave.

12/ As you enter a house, wish it peace.

13/ If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. 

14/ Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words--go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet.

15/ Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16/ "Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves.

 

The word "apostle" signifies messenger; they were Christ's messengers, sent forth to proclaim his kingdom. Christ gave them power to heal all manner of sickness. In the grace of the gospel there is a slave for every sore, a remedy for every malady. There is no spiritual disease, but there is power in Christ for the cure of it. There names are recorded, and it is their honour; yet they had more reason to rejoice that their names were written in heaven, while the high and mighty names of the great ones of the earth are buried in the dust.

 

The Gentiles must not have the gospel brought them, till the Jews have refused it. This restraint on the apostles was only in their first mission. Wherever they went they must proclaim, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. They preached, to establish the faith; the kingdom, to animate the hope; of heaven, to inspire the love of heavenly things, and the contempt of earthly; which is at hand, that men may prepare for it without delay. Christ gave power to work miracles for the confirming of their doctrine. This is not necessary now that the kingdom of God is come. It showed that the intent of the doctrine they preached, was to heal sick souls, and to raise those that were dead in sin. In proclaiming the gospel of free grace for the healing and saving of men's souls, we must above all avoid the appearance of the spirit of an hireling. They are directed what to do in strange towns and cities. The servant of Christ is the ambassador of peace to whatever place he is sent. His message is even to the vilest sinners, yet it behoves him to find out the best persons in every place. It becomes us to pray heartily for all, and to conduct ourselves courteously to all. They are directed how to act as to those that refused them. The whole counsel of God must be declared, and those who will not attend to the gracious message, must be shown that their state is dangerous. This should be seriously laid to heart by all that hear the gospel, lest their privileges only serve to increase their condemnation.

SATURDAY'S SOUNDNESS: I AM!!!

EXODUS 3: 14-15...
14/ God replied, "I am who am." Then he added, "This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you."

15/ God spoke further to Moses, "Thus shall you say to the Israelites: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. "This is my name forever; this is my title for all generations.

 

I am who am: apparently this utterance is the source of the word Yahweh, the proper personal name of the God of Israel. It is commonly explained in reference to God as the absolute and necessary Being. It may be understood of God as the Source of all created beings. Out of reverence for this name, the term Adonai, "my Lord," was later used as a substitute. The word LORD in the present version represents this traditional usage. The word "Jehovah" arose from a false reading of this name as it is written in the current Hebrew text.

 

EXODUS 20: 20...

Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to you only to test you and put his fear upon you, lest you should sin."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
This law, which is so extensive that we cannot measure it, so spiritual that we cannot evade it, and so reasonable that we cannot find fault with it, will be the rule of the future judgment of God, as it is for the present conduct of man. If tried by this rule, we shall find our lives have been passed in transgressions. And with this holy law and an awful judgment before us, who can despise the gospel of Christ? And the knowledge of the law shows our need of repentance. In every believer's heart sin is dethroned and crucified, the law of God is written, and the image of God renewed. The Holy Spirit enables him to hate sin and flee from it, to love and keep this law in sincerity and truth; nor will he cease to repent.

ISAIAH 41: 13...
For I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
God speaks with tenderness; Fear thou not, for I am with thee: not only within call, but present with thee. Art thou weak? I will strengthen thee. Art thou in want of friends? I will help thee in the time of need. Art thou ready to fall? I will uphold thee with that right hand which is full of righteousness, dealing forth rewards and punishments. There are those that strive with God's people, that seek their ruin. Let not God's people render evil for evil, but wait God's time. It is the worm Jacob; so little, so weak, so despised and trampled on by every body. God's people are as worms, in humble thoughts of themselves, and in their enemies' haughty thoughts of them; worms, but not vipers, not of the serpent's seed. Every part of God's word is calculated to humble man's pride, and to make him appear little in his own eyes. The Lord will help them, for he is their Redeemer. The Lord will make Jacob to become a threshing instrument. God will make him fit for use, new, and having sharp spikes. This has fulfilment in the triumphs of the gospel of Christ, and of all faithful followers of Christ, over the power of darkness. God has provided comforts to supply all their wants, and to answer all their prayers. Our way to heaven lies through the wilderness of this world. The soul of man is in want, and seeks for satisfaction; but becomes weary of seeking that in the world, which is not to be had in it. Yet they shall have a constant supply, where one would least expect it. I will open rivers of grace, rivers of living water, which Christ spake of the Spirit, Joh 7:38, 39. When God sets up his church in the Gentile wilderness, there shall be a great change, as if thorns and briers were turned into cedars, and fir-trees, and myrtles. These blessings are kept for the poor in spirit, who long for Divine enlightening, pardon, and holiness. And God will render their barren souls fruitful in the grace of his Spirit, that all who behold may consider it.

The SOUNDNESS OF *GOD*, who can defer it, who can defy it, who can delay it, who can walk away from it, without understanding of the TRUTH of it??? HIS SOUNDNESS is what I have chosen to believe, OVER all else in this life, without falter, because HE IS I AM, the beginning without end, MASTER, CREATOR, and AUTHOR of ALL, and, EVERYTHING! PRAISE HIS HOLY name forever!!!

TO HELP OTHERS, BEGINS WITH PRAYER...

EVERY minute of EVERY hour of EVERY day, someone, somewhere, needs us! There are more in need than not, and, how to help, is mind-boggling at times, but, it begins with a thought, a prayer, one small action, and, so on...

Prayer is mostly, intercessory; we are to lift UP for others, with the POSITIVITY of the LOVE of THE SPIRIT, that, ALL humanity, especially, the needy, and, the suffering, are always, placed first! CHRIST, our LORD, JESUS, spent much of HIS time, praying for us! While each of us has our own set of circumstances, and, conditions to deal with, it is wise to remind ourselves that MANY, have it way worse than do we! And, in placing them before us, we are opening UP to receiving, according to HIS WILL!!!

There are some unthinkable things going on in this world, such as slavery, of every kind, often, involving little Children, whom, more often than not, have no hopes of escaping this fate, and worse! There are simply, many people who are not easy to help, given their circumstances, and, obscurity from the probing eyes of the world!!!

It doesn't take much time to pray, earnestly, for others! When we take what time is necessary, we are beginning a SUPERNATURAL process of manifestation! LOVE IS the premise, LOVE is the rescuer, LOVE is the VOICE OF *GOD*, and, IF we claim HIM, we MUST exist IN HIS LOVE!!!

Today IS the perfect day to begin to LIFT others UP to THE LORD! SO many need us! SO many are without help of ANY kind, and, many of them, have not the understanding, or, awareness of *GOD*/CHRIST! For everything you do for others, there IS recompense from THE LORD!!!

May *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with us ALL, and, may we TRULY, exist IN HIS LOVE, that, the world is a better place, person by person, heart by heart, thought by thought, and, action by action!!!

FRIDAY, FABULOUS FRIDAY!!!

It is FRIDAY!!! AND, the middle of September, already??! Wow, time is FLYIN', and, I can barely keep up with it!!!

The end of the week is a POSITIVE time, at least, it CAN be! It is a time when we are willing to shake off the week, and, put on a new attitude! It is a time of Family, Friends, LOVE, and, doing what makes us happy! It is a time for rest, renewal, and, restoration, for the whole being! And, most importantly, it is a time to take time to reflect on *GOD*/CHRIST, give thanks, PRAISE, and, WORSHIP! It is also, a time to look forward, with heightened expectations!!!

So, how did your week go, anyway? Were you able to resist what you should have? Were you able to bridle, or, bite the tongue? Were you able to MAKE it a great week, despite what was thrown at you? Were you able to remain IN *GOD*, cheerful, and, content, while enduring? I know, it is NOT easy, but, the more we try, the easier it gets, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, and, for our own well-being, and, growth!!!

I have been down with a nasty, nasty chest, and, head cold, this week, but, I got some much needed rest, and, had time to simply, be! I got hit hard, and, felt as if I had been ran over! Still, it is what it is, and, it is on it's way out, so, I am PRAISING *GOD*/CHRIST, and, just about to get back into the groove!!!

Life isn't a bed of roses, and, it isn't all that bad, either! It IS in our power, with the help of THE LORD, to improve daily; I don't care how bad it seems, it IS possible to MAKE it a better day, EVERY day! I have been down so low, I had to look up to the dust, but, I, mostly, maintained a decent attitude, and, assurance that this wasn't my only option! Sure, when you are down that low, it seems as if it might take an eternity, or, a miracle to rise even a bit, but, don't you lose FAITH! Don't you KNOW that *GOD* is working on your behalf, according to HIS WILL for your life, and, growth? My life at this time is nothing impressive, by any standard, but, LORD knows, I am SO grateful for what I do have, and, the many BLESSINGS HE has bestowed upon me! Sure, even though I am taught not to worry, I still do, sometimes, but, I then, turn it over to HIM, because I have FAITH enough to believe HE IS LEADING me, where HE wants me to be, now, and, evermore! Again, I have to say, there IS much to be happy, and, grateful for, in ANY day, because HIS hands ARE busily manifesting endless beauty, and, simple pleasures, always!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY! It is Friday, time to loose the binds the world TRIED to tie you down with, and, rejoice for HIS presence, and, help this far! Time to TOSS the week past into the BBQ, and, take in the fresh air of a new day, which has wonder in store!!!

Have an awe-inspiring weekend, in whatever way pleases your being, but, be sure to spend quality time on the spirit, for that IS the objective, now, and, forever! MUCH LOVE to you, *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with us ALL, ENJOY!!!

Go fly a kite, let the Child inside run wild with delight! Take a long walk in the park, and, enjoy the day, as it turns into dark! Simply take these few days, and, fill them in joyful ways! Then, come the week ahead, you won't begin it, with an air of dread:))) lw'12

CAMPAIGNING FOR *GOD*/CHRIST!!!

The world over needs HOPE! That HOPE ISN'T going to come from ANY icon, group, or, Government in this world! HOPE SUPREME can ONLY come from *GOD*/CHRIST! The HOPE HE brings, is EVERLASTING, INCORRUPTIBLE, TRUE, TRIED, TESTED, and, IRREVOCABLE! The HOPE the world offers is corrupted, fleeting, unsure, ever waning, fickle, and, premised on ulterior motives! So, it is wise, to place your attention UPON THE LORD, our *GOD*, for what you most seek!!!

In the HOPE HE brings, there is PEACE of being! There is a certain comfort! There is the confidence of TRUST, and, BELIEF, that HE WILL move us forward!!!

There is NO later regret, nor, mistake in choosing *GOD*/CHRIST to lead you! NEVER!!!

HIS promises ARE SOLID! HE is FAITHFUL to those who LOVE HIM, support HIM, and, follow HIM! HE doesn't say ANYTHING without being able to back it up, or, without delivering! HIS WORD IS a fortress of TRUTH!!!

The LORD, our *GOD* IS THE RULER OF THIS WORLD, and, EVER shall be! HE, ALONE, brings the sun, the rain, the food we eat, plants miraculous inventions, and advancements in the minds of humanity, and, IS ALL PROVISIONAL, down to the most diminutive detail! NOTHING to this date, has come to be, without HIM! Things would be MUCH better, IF we allowed HIS powers to unleash, through our FAITHFULNESS, and, allegiance TO HIM, OVER all else!!!

*GOD*/CHRIST, SHOULD be the forerunner of EVERY thing in this life, because, in actuality, beneath the deception we exist in, HE IS! IF we placed HIM in the stature of HIS MAJESTY, at ALL times, in ALL ways, oh, how different life would be!!!

Human beings are praised more than *GOD* is, in daily life, and this is a serious err on our part! WHAT human could be worthy of the praise which, belongs to HIM, ALONE? NONE! It is time, IF we LOVE HIM, to put aside the ways of the world, and, STAND strong IN HIM, with LOUD exultation, and, PRAISE, and, WORSHIP! HE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING, without beginning, without end, thus, IS WORTHY of ALL we can offer UNTO HIM!!!

Campaign for worldly leaders? NOT ME! My sole campaign lies in building UP THE LORD, our *GOD*, that, one day, there WILL be PEACE on Earth, with, all deception, lies, falsehood, and, other negatives of the world, having been eradicated BY TRUTH, HOPE, LOVE, and, fellowship with the ONE TRUE leader, ruler, KING, and, most SOVEREIGN LORD, *GOD*! Of course, HE has said that we should be subject to these worldly leaders, so, I oblige HIM, in the best of my ability, for HIS sake, and, purpose! I will add that I think that our choices in selecting human leaders, should be premised on whether they ARE one with *GOD*/CHRIST, in honest, sincerity!!!

YES, the world over needs HOPE, and, that HOPE is found in *GOD*, ALONE! The ONE imperative choice we have this day, is choosing *GOD* OVER all else, then, HIS WILL IS DONE! Without HIM, none of the rest matters, anyway!!!
