HEAVENLY INCLINED...: TUESDAY'S THOUGHTS: NOTHING FLIES BY THE LORD...

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...

TUESDAY'S THOUGHTS: NOTHING FLIES BY THE LORD...

To many it seems that THE LORD is far away, detached, not observing, not taking note, not hearing, not feeling, not present, and so, since they do not see HIM, or notice HIM, or have not yet experienced HIM, they feel free to live according to the world, the flesh...

There is reason why HE is not clearly manifest before us; one must study THE WORD, then consider how human history repeats itself, and how the fullness of HIS PLAN is being executed according to HIS WILL, with good, and evil as direct indicators of HIS MERCY, and GRACE, or HIS FIERY WRATH!!!

HIS LOVE allows time for each of us to make our choices in regards to our eternal destiny! Because the world has it's way with us, HE allots us ample time, in general, to open our hearts, eyes, and ears to HIM; to free the spirit within, and to soar in HIS teachings, principles, and decrees! It is LOVE for us which has brought us to this late date, but do not imagine HE is detached, passive, or distant! HE IS taking note, and the days are growing shorter, indeed!!!

Such wastes of time we keep busy in, as we live in pride, arrogance, and defiance of what is HOLY, what is right, what is just! It is as if we are senseless, but TRUTH is, we are not senseless, instead, we are wrong-inclined, and subject to the world's ways OVER HIS! We CHOOSE to hate, to plot evil, to kill, to do what is against HIM, and LOVE! We CHOOSE to do so, almost automatically, because we know HIM NOT, and do NOT embrace the beauty, and benevolence of HIS WILL! We CHOOSE to remain endangered, when HE offers eternal safety, comfort, and well-being...

Idolatry is rampant in this time, as it always has been, though, human understanding has undermined the definition of idolatry, and lessened it; all reminiscent of Eve listening to the serpent in the Garden. The cunning enemy has an easy time with us because we are so attached to ourselves, the world, and it's offerings, that it can take a long time, trauma, or some dramatic act of *GOD* to awaken us from the hypnotic lull of the enticements, and deceptions of this world, HOWEVER, we should NOT count on time, for we know not when ours is finished; TODAY is the day of reckoning for ALL...

Every time someone suffers away from LOVE, *GOD* is documenting! Every time one of HIS own cries out from the evil of this world, HE IS LISTENING! Every little wrong done, IS in HIS BOOK of notes, awaiting the Day of HIS JUDGEMENT!!!

Those who scoff at HIM being near, observant, attentive, listening, feeling, and very present, and live separately from HIM; one day, as HE reads to them HIS documentmentation of their lives, will be, not only astounded, they will pay for their choices with HIS WRATH! The knowledge of HIM, of LOVE, of what is right, just, and good exists in ALL humans, and the choice is there for each! Sure the world is in opposition of what is *GODLY*, but that doesn't mean we are to attach to it, meld with it, and become it's product, does it???

We are TAUGHT the TRUTH of the choices set before us, and IF we choose to be one with *GOD*, we find ample instructions for developing to the point that we cannot be misled, misinformed, or enticed any further by this ever vanishing world! HE HAS set before us, choices, and clearly, there is no in between! We can't count on anything except HIM to lead us to our intended inheritance; not on time, not on other humans, not on perceived doctrines of this world...

HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to ATONE our sins, HOWEVER, that is NOT a license to continue in sin, nor to sin worse than before! Instead, it is the connection to a TRUE relationship with HIM, which is a privilege, an HONOUR, an esteemed GIFT! We mustn't take HIS GIFT of liberty to the extreme, and imagine it as permission to more sin! THE GIFT OF CHRIST JESUS, is THE GATE to an HONEST, SINCERE, ACTIVE relationship with THE MOST HIGH, MOST HOLY *GOD*; a membership of what is LOVE, just, right, and good; an adoption into THE SOVEREIGN KINGDOM, where we, as a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, will serve HIM, PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and GLORIFY HIM, which THROUGH CHRIST, and HIS HOLY SPIRIT is to begin manifestation in this time, and increase with knowledge, understanding, and TRUE allegiance to HIM!!!

THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY IS RIGHT HERE, watching, listening, and feeling! HE knows well who is striving for HIM, and who is set against HIM; those who are warm to HIM, and those who have waxed cold! HE experiences the agonies of the day, HE hears the wails of the world, HE feels the pain of suffering! HE IS WITH US, don't be fooled into thinking HE is not!!!

REMAIN TRUE TO THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, no matter what the day holds!!!
