HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THE WIND & THE LORD *GOD*...

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 WIND & THE LORD GOD...

As we are able to harness the wind for multiple purposes, we can harness THE LORD for the overall well-being, safety, and progression of the being, the spirit! Humans have done some remarkable things throughout history, albeit, NOT without *GOD'S* hand, and yet, to tap into HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, HIS WORD, HIS DIVINE nature, seems difficult for too many, as they tend to forget that as in harnessing the wind, with *GOD*, there are steps, standards, and procedures to doing so. However, it is not only the sensible, and wise thing to do, it is what PROVIDES exceedingly, as we journey this time...

There has been a shift away from THE LORD, especially in the past decade, and I suspect part of the reason is the difficulty people experience in finding HIM, even though HE is as close as our breath, because for those who seek HIM, HE exists within each, and HE HAS placed HIMSELF in the minds, and hearts of all, according to HIS WORD...

The wind has similar traits as THE LORD *GOD*, in that it can be felt, and noticed, yet, not seen, or touched, though, it can touch us; powerful, and mysterious! Of course, ALL IN CREATION, ALL of the Earth, carries HIS DIVINE nature, to SHOW HIM, and to give us portals to peer into!!!

We are, more than we know, asleep when it comes to *GOD*, deaf, and unfeeling; UNTIL we make the CONSCIOUS decision to discover HIM, find HIM, grasp onto HIM, and know HIM; then we awaken, aware, and thus, we begin to observe HIM all around us, while HE LEADS us to increased sight, and sensitivity TO HIS PRESENCE, as the spirit begins to surface, from beneath the heavy shroud caused by the carnal, fleshy world, in which case, gradual, and increased knowledge, understanding, and allegiance, tend to free us from all which kept us distanced from HIM!!!

It is MORE than reading THE WORD, it is a SUPERNATURAL, SPIRIT INFUSED, OPTIMIZATION granted BY THE LORD to those seeking HIM, IF their heart of hearts IS sincere, honest, and serious! It is MORE than learning of HIM, it is aligning TO HIM, willingly, and eagerly, while complying in conformity TO HIS WILL, in the best of our understanding, and abilities, which increase with greater DEVOTION...

As always, humanity wants instant results, with grandeur, sparks, signs, and wonders in order to believe, in which case, this mentality is part of what keeps us distanced from HIM, because belief HAS to be secure in the first place, in order to develop a relationship with HIM! And there have been, and are, many signs of HIM in this realm!!!

THE LORD *GOD* LIVES with us, IN us, and all around us; it is OUR tendencies which complicate the closeness available to us! When we come to HIM, in TRUE desire to know HIM, and to exist WITH HIM, we begin to change into the people we were CREATED to be, which then, opens UP to HIS PRESENCE, and ALL benevolence of HIS DIVINITY! As we grow INTO HIM, HE reveals HIMSELF, more, more, and more, in diverse, empowering, and enabling ways!!!

HE HAS PROVIDED us with the means to THE WAY, we only have to DECIDE, yay, or nay! Of course, HIS enemy, and ours, IS working overtime to confuse, delude, and hinder us, and so, another reason that SINCERITY of INTENT, of LOVE, is IMPERATIVE to manifestation of realization in seeking, and knowing *GOD*!!!

As with anything before us, DELIBERATE diligence is essential to awakening TO THE LORD, and so, if it doesn't happen like magic, that is because THE LORD IS NOT magic, instead, is ELEVATED billions of times beyond such, and is ONLY invoked by the TRUE OF HEART!!!

PRAISE HIS HOLY name, BLESS HIM, WORSHIP HIM, THANK HIM, and REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE, and LOVE for us, then, HONOUR HIM with the BEST within, and without!!!
