HEAVENLY INCLINED...: LET THE LORD 'BE' YOUR FREEDOM'S TESTIMONIAL!!!

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...

LET THE LORD 'BE' YOUR FREEDOM'S TESTIMONIAL!!!

Some of us, have been down the rockiest, most unkind paths, you can imagine, BUT, *GOD* LIFTED us, and, restored us, and, renewed us, THAT, we can testify, with FULL HEART, and, SOUL, OF HIS GREATNESS, HIS MERCY, and, HIS LOVE! Sometimes, I just have to cry, because of HIS beauty, HIS compassion, HIS care, and, HIS constant presence in my life!!!

For sure, I have to say, "THANK YOU LORD, oh, how I thank YOU!"...

People get discouraged, at a finger snap! People lose HOPE, PEACE, and, VISION, for their lives, but, some of us are here to tell you, DON'T go there! DON'T you give in to the wicked deceiver! DON'T you lose what IS TRUE, RIGHT, WHOLE, and, EMPOWERING! There ain't NOTHIN' *GOD* can't lead you through, and, heal you from! HE IS THE ALMIGHTY *GOD*, the AUTHOR, and, CREATOR OF ALL IN EXISTENCE, and, if you can't find strength, courage, or, sight in that alone, then, let the some of us, who have been down to the gates of hell (the chains of oppressive egocentricity), and, back, share THE TRUTH with you!!!

HIS WILL SHALL be DONE, nothin', nothin', nothin' in this old world, can stop it! Listen, HE IS THERE FOR YOU, and, while, you may be going through some things you don't understand, or, receive well, it is likely, you have some things to learn, and, HE is forming you INTO what HIS WILL has had in store for you, since before the foundations of CREATION! JUST TRUST, and, BELIEVE IN HIM, talk to HIM, and, LET HIM lead you! PRAY, PRAISE, WORSHIP, and, for sure, STAY IN THE WORD, the LIVING WORD, because ALL you need to survive this journey, AS the REAL you, the spirit, is within!!!

Understand that your place ain't on the streets, in the clubs, in a gang, gossiping, being tough, acting foolish, too cool for words, and, so on! YOUR PLACE IS IN THE COMPANY OF THE CREATOR, YOUR LORD, *GOD*, and, HIS company, IS the most AWESOME, BRILLIANT, and, INVIGORATING company EVER known! HE IS ALL THAT, and, more! *GOD* is not without HIS cool; HE IS the epitome of COOL! Look real close at HIS handiwork, all around you, and, pay attention; HE IS ALL THAT, and, more!!!

LET HIM bend you, shape you, ANYWAY HE wants you, 'cuz, for sure, HE IS RIGHT, and, ONLY HE KNOWS THE REAL YOU!!!

JUMP with your HEART, INTO THE WORD, and, LEARN HIS nature, as best as you can, and, you will begin to SEE HIS POWER, HIS GENIUS, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, HIS PLAN, and, HIS PURPOSE for your life! LISTEN to the people who been there, done that, and, SEE HIS GLORY in their eyes, HEAR it in their voices, FEEL it in their actions, and, TAKE it to heart, while HE ministers to you, through them! LET HIM DO HIS THING, BE FREE from what is shackling, and, hindering you! HE LOVES YOU, and, WANTS you to be safe, happy, and, full of understanding! LET HIM MOVE IN YOU, THROUGH YOU, and, ALL AROUND you, what is next, after the trials, testing, and, refinement, is mind blowing, downright INSPIRING, HEALING, and, EMPOWERING! AMEN, PRAISE THE LORD, ALL THE TIME, THROUGHOUT EVERYTHING you encounter, and, STAY IN THE WORD, it IS for your protection, advancement, and, BLESSINGS!!!
