HEAVENLY INCLINED...: MIRACLES ARE PART OF THE WHOLE...

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...

MIRACLES ARE PART OF THE WHOLE...

In the past week, Sunday to be exact, a young Lady was in an accident, in which case, the person who hit her, was drunk, crossed over into her lane, and almost killed her! A mysterious Priest appeared after she asked the rescue workers, who had been working diligently for almost an hour to get her out of the car, to no avail, to PRAY out loud with her! There were more than 70 photos taken at the scene, and many were shot when the mysterious Priest was PRAYING over her, in which, he is NOT visible in any! After he PRAYED over her, he told the rescue workers that their tools would now be able to free her, in which case, new ones arrived at that time, and the Priest totally, disappeared!

As usual, there is LOTS of arguing whether this, indeed was a miracle of *GOD*, even from the FAITHFUL! The comments have created, of course, a heated discussion! Miracles happen EVERY single day, and the naysayers, predictably say that IF *GOD* was in the midst, she wouldn't have been hurt at all! Listen, many times when things happen, it is not only for DIVINE reason, but, that a clash is occurring between the evil one, and the HEAVENS! Perhaps the inebriated young Man, was being salvaged by THE LORD, from his affliction of drinking; a wake up call, or a release from the grips of the deceiver! HOW can we know what *GOD* intends at ANY second?

The young Lady, Katie, was spared, and is going to recuperate, according to the latest information! Maybe THE LORD has CHOSEN her as a visible, and audible instrument! IF she were in most other makes of cars, she would have not lived, and well, there are LOTS of factors, and facts that lead me to believe this was the work of *GOD*!''

A week ago, a Preacher, Husband, and Father of 4, when he went to ask his partying neighbors to quiet down their party, for no apparent reason, save for the request, was shot down, as 3 bullets were fired into him! *GOD* did not save him, but, it is likely it was his time, and that the perpetrator will be exposed to some harsh lessons! THE LORD gives, and THE LORD takes, it is NOT our place to understand, instead, to recognize HIM in ALL things!

A miracle is not exclusive to one person, it generally has powers for ALL who were involved, and may have special meaning, guidance, or direction for a certain individual of the bystanders, workers, or others at the scene, or EVEN for the sake of someone, or others, far removed from the scene! Then too, HE MIGHT JUST BE REASSURING US OF HIS PRESENCE, and LETTING US KNOW HE IS WITH US!

As we CANNOT humanize *GOD*, we CANNOT dissemble HIS miracles; they ARE DIVINELY orchestrated FOR HIS OWN REASON, PURPOSE, and the FULFILLMENT OF HIS WILL. We may NEVER know, exactly, the intention of a miracle, but, for sure, where there is, or has been a miracle, there is FAR reaching impact, and benefits FOR those who believe, then receive! As for this particular instance, even if the Priest was human, and managed to amazingly, disappear, HOLY works, and inspiration was forwarded to believers!

I was in an accident in which I should have perished, but, I did not, and when I came to, the EMS workers told me that I had an Angel with me! No doubt, Angels DO the WILL of *GOD*, and appear in various ways, in most of the days of this time-frame! ANYTHING is possible with *GOD*, and the FAITHFUL KNOW this to be true! Our very connection with THE LORD is intangible, yet, has tangible written all over it!

We can accept things of this world, which is the falsehood of reality, but, we are hesitant to accept that *GOD* moves, and works amongst us??? This blows me away! People are more likely to develop a relationship with a wolf in sheep's clothing, than to accept that THE LORD moves, and works amongst us! Amazing, and yet, just as HE said it would be, because, since the beginning, until now, it has been so!

People follow astrology, magic, and all sorts of deceptive matters, but, have a difficult time embracing THE LORD WHOM HAS left our hearts, and minds filled with HIMSELF! And from this, there exists NO excuse for NOT knowing HIM!

I don't know what happened at the scene of Katie's car accident, but one thing is for sure, ALL people present agree that SOMETHING happened, and NOT one of them were skeptical, or unwilling to accept the hand of *GOD*! I PRAY that when she is better, she can share with us, in detail, the miracle she witnessed!!!
