HEAVENLY INCLINED...: FABULOUS FRIDAY!!!

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...

FABULOUS FRIDAY!!!

It IS FRIDAY, and thanks BE to *GOD*, a most spectacular one, indeed! It is, simply, a picture perfect day outside, and I am going to kick back, soak up some shine, and enjoy!!!

This week was a busy one for me, but, the efforts were worth it! I hope your week rendered more good than not, and that you are able to throw to the winds, what wasn't good! Time to celebrate the victory of having endured, persevered, and overcome! Time to release, and to relax! Time to PRAISE THE LORD for HIS PRESENCE in this time, and HIS LOVE which BLESSES us at ALL times, whether we are aware, or not! THANK YOU LORD!!!

As we enter into the weekend, let us RAISE our beings, in gratitude, in respect, in regard, in awe, in LOVE, in PEACE, in all which is worthy! Let us reflect, and consider, let us reach a HIGHER consciousness, that we are able to walk in HIS GLORY!!!

TAKE time, and MAKE time to ENJOY the richness of the gifts THE LORD HAS set before you! Revel in the endless beauty of HIS CREATION, and the bounties therein! Share with others HIS LOVE, HIS PURE GOODNESS, which has grown in you, and allows you to guide others to SEE HIS hand in EVERYTHING! Marvel in HIS handiwork, and open UP to MORE! Be as a Child, wide-eyed with wonder of the magnificence of HIS creative GENIUS!!!

Yes, be as a Child; a Child of the MOST HIGH LORD, *GOD*, with appreciation of HIS splendor! Weekends should find us freeing the Child within, in various ways: wee ones are mostly, always entertained, and able to FIND something SUPERNATURAL in the hours of time! They know HOW to recognize HIM in the simplicities surrounding them!!!

EVERY day is a gift of *GOD*, and the weekends are like gifts inside of gifts, intended to cause us to celebrate our labours, and the fruits thereof, and to enthusiastically, PRAISE HIS name, and WORSHIP HIM, because HIS LOVE IS so apparent, alive, and flourishing in us!!!

Sail into the weekend HIGH on THE LORD, and HIS benevolences! Leave as much of the past behind as is possible, and ride the trade winds of EXALTED power! Wow!, is that a beautiful vessel or what???

We CAN free ourselves from what this life uses to contain, and restrain us! We HAVE SO much more going for us than we allow ourselves to see, feel, or use! We ARE EMPOWERED BY THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, and TRUE FAITH increases that empowerment!!!

Then, to ensure that time is BLESSED, be sure to spend some time with THE LORD! PRAY, communicate, profess, and give HIM some heart! Thank HIM, and ask HIM for whatever you might need to go forth, then, in FAITH, PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and REJOICE that HE IS, and evermore shall be!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY! *GOD* BLESS, and BE with us ALL! MUCH LOVE to you, take care, and ENJOY this gift of time! HONOUR THE LORD in thought, word, and deed!!!
