HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THE PLANES OF KNOWLEDGE, NEVER ENDING...

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 PLANES OF KNOWLEDGE, NEVER ENDING...

What did *GOD* teach me today? That I will NEVER know, fully, HIS world, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, nor, HIS WORD, therefore, I cannot boast, with any confidence of super knowledge, thus, I can never give up the good fight, BECAUSE, honestly, there is only ONE worthy of any boast, THE *GODHEAD*!!!

My walk with *GOD*, is never ending, and, without end of instruction(s)! I do not believe that ANY human has the capacity to FULLY know *GOD*, HIS world, WILL, WAYS, or, WORD! Some may come closer than, others, but, NONE EVER FULLY KNOW *GOD*! It is senseless to place a limit on, our acquired knowledge, as HE is without beginning, and, without end, plus, what is life on Earth, is just but one area of HIS GENIUS, ESSENCE, PRESENCE, and, WISDOM, thus, WHO can say that they are, actually, totally informed???

No, I will NOT proclaim advanced knowledge, nor, Wisdom, of my LORD! I would rather remain at a point of uncertainty, that HE is ever nearby, and, guiding me! I prefer to be humble, void of self-assumption, and, place my capacities of growth, in HIS own hands, that, what comes forth, is not measurable, by humanity, but, by HIM, for then, I will KNOW that, I HAVE become the manifestation, of HIS WILL, for my life!!!

I, for one, am NOT ashamed, to learn right along with others, even IF, it is possible, that I have greater understanding, than, some! I am happy to learn, ALWAYS, even if that means, making mistakes, along the way! I am comfortable in the JOURNEY TO *GOD*, gathering what I can, and, HOPING for more! I am CONTENT with HIM as my guide, my source, my provision, and, well, my everything, for HE IS the ONLY source of knowledge, and, Wisdom, period!!!

Too much knowledge is as dangerous, as is, too little, for, it has the potential to blindside, and, to take one away from virtue, placing them at risk, thus, what good is their knowledge then???

I am human, though, being LIFTED to the plane of THE SPIRIT, through, CHRIST JESUS! I am STRIVING to leave the natural/carnal plane, totally, behind, though, I am NOT perfected in my efforts! I fight the good fight of HOPE, and, FAITH, with IMPROVEMENTS to my spirit, while I ADD TO the FULL armor of *GOD*, that, come that day of days, I AM well trained, and, enabled to endure, the mighty onslaught of what the deceiver has in store, that, he might take, even some of the most learned! I am in preparation, FOR the battle which, is prophesied! I AIM to win the race, and, BE as an incorruptible, undaunted, undefeated Soldier of the Armies of *GOD*, and, I have to tell you, it IS an ongoing, continuous, constant, effort, which, IS, ALSO, the most worthy, and, rewarding, according, TO the PROMISES of THE MOST HIGH!!!

What did *GOD* teach me today??? HE taught me that I, yet, have a LOT to learn, and, I am, willing, as well as glad, because, that means I have time left, to perfect my spirit!!! THANK YOU, LORD!!! AMEN!!!
