HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THE FORTRESS OF MEANS...

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.

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...

THE FORTRESS OF MEANS...

Because I was CREATED by *GOD*, and, borne OF HIM, I came into the world, fully empowered, and, wholly equipped, to transit the course of what is before me, on this journey, back to TRUTH!!!

Within me, lies a fortress of means, which, ALWAYS, IS within my reach, though, there IS a ring of KEYS throughout, to securing the power of restoration, from this fortress! The keys are unmarked, but, as the knowledge of discernment, increases in my being, awareness of the purpose of each key, becomes evident! There ARE steps I HAVE to take, in order for the FULLNESS of the empowerment, bestowed upon me, BY *GOD*, is clear as crystal!!!

From birth, the enemy, the deceiver, the liar, the perpetual negative, of this world, begins, his efforts, to cloud my inner sight, my awareness of what I possess, and, to rob me of my innate knowledge, in other words, he attempts to block my ability to reach the fortress of means, that, I am hindered, stagnated, blindsided! BECAUSE much of humanity is under the shroud of dimness, what I learn along the way, is NOT what IS, thus, I face obstacles to deal with, which, hopefully, I can work through, such as confusion, delusion, lack of understanding, altered perception, and, worse, making the foreknowledge OF the endowments of my birth, difficult to perceive, believe, or even, to remember!!!

But, *GOD* IS ever nearby; searching the hearts, and, minds of humanity, coming to the aid of those HE KNOWS, have SOME semblance of remembrance, and, through certain, Supernatural effects, HE LEADS them right TO the source; their fortress of empowerment, that, they can gather the will, to overcome, what that old serpent, places in their egocentric beings, and, their paths!!!

THE WORD of *GOD* is THE KEY to realizing the keys implemented within, and, to increased awareness! THE WORD consists of a FAULTLESS manual OF the fortress of means, AND, to grasping what WAS, IS, and, ALWAYS SHALL BE, *GOD*, to which, we ARE to CLING, with all of our might, as we discover, more, and, more, from the contents of the fortress, carefully guarded, within, so that, what is wrong, becomes right, and, what is of this world, is diminished by what is *GOD*!!!

AMAZING IS THE LORD, our *GOD*! ALL, and, EVERYTHING, HAS been perfected, THROUGH HIM! GENIUS is not enough to describe HIS attributes, eternal, and, endless! I am in AWE of HIS brilliance, and, the more I learn of it, the more I am awestruck, as well as, indebted, appreciatively! Thank YOU, *GOD*, for LEADING my mind's eye, past the tinseled attractions of this old world, TO the fortress of wondrous enrichment's, that, I AM enabled to travel this journey, intact, in YOUR name, and, TO YOUR GLORY! HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD, ALL IN CREATION, now, and, evermore!!! AMEN!!!
