HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THE LORD IS ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP, OH YES HE IS...

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 LORD IS ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP, OH YES HE IS...

Our LORD *GOD* IS on the mountain top, HE IS in the valley, HE IS in the plains, HE IS in the brush, HE IS in the desert, HE IS on the island, HE IS on the waters, HE IS in the air---

HE IS EVERYWHERE HIS people are, and HIS LOVE is WORKING for the good of all who LOVE HIM! HIS POWER is UNPRECEDENTED, it IS FAR GREATER than the powers of this globe! HIS WILL SHALL be done!!!

THIS IS HIS CREATION, and this planet IS of HIS CREATION, therefore it BELONGS TO HIM: HE IS SOVEREIGN RULER OVER ALL, and EVERYTHING, and so, whatever resistance there is, and there is a LOT, is futile in the end, and is nothing more than the passions of pride working vehemently to prove itself...

HIS own are taught to REALIZE their HEIGHTENED existence OVER all which is of this world, BECAUSE it KEEPS us hovering, so to speak, ABOVE what is determined to overwhelm, and capture ALL people, that pride can say to *GOD*, "I told you so!", as pride not only hates us, but believes that we are TOO weak, and TOO far from THE LORD to ARISE from this pit of magnetizing intent to destroy us eternally. In this pit of falsehoods, lies, deceptions, oppressions, and all other negatively charged weaponry, resides the TRUTH of everything, as what is NOT of TRUTH is exposed, and proven...

THE LORD'S PLAN shall NOT fail; HE IS FAITHFUL TO THE FAITHFUL! HE IS our DELIVERER, our CHAMPION, our VICTORY! THROUGH STEADFAST FAITH, and FAITHFULNESS, we, HIS own, SHALL share in HIS GLORY eternally! NO amount of assault against us can take us, IF we REMAIN IN HIM, IN LOVE, for no matter what happens in this fading world, we KNOW our REAL home lies IN HIM, somewhere down THE PATH...

We WILL be tried, tested, and face tribulations, yet, IN SUCH is the PROOF of our FAITH, and FAITHFULNESS! No matter what intends to shake us out of our senses, we KNOW *GOD* IS NEAR, and IS moving mountains FOR our sake! We KNOW that ALL things work according TO HIS WILL, and while there is great battle ensuing, we SHARE VICTORY WITH THE VICTOR, THE KING OF ALL KINGS, THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY! We are EMPOWERED BY TRUTH, even when deception TRIES to sway us BY placing horrors of every kind in our way! We are ENABLED BY THE MOST HIGH POWERS, and thus, despite the worst we might face, we ARE STRONG enough to withstand, endure, and persevere, for our STRENGTH IS THE LORD!!!

The world can do it's damage on us, indeed, and we surely, WILL suffer, but as CHRIST JESUS suffered for us, suffering brings us closer to HIM, to our REALITY, and while we tremble with sorrow, anguish, and more, we DON'T release our grip on HIM, instead, we tighten it, and look forward, and UPWARD! We bow down TO HIM, and not to what is afflicting us! We PRAY, we PRAISE, we WORSHIP, we REJOICE, for we KNOW our LORD *GOD* IS in the midst, and IS moving us into our rightful place in HIS WILL! We DON'T relinquish, we don't faint, we don't give in; we trudge TOWARDS HIM, HIS PROMISES, and HIS GLORY, KNOWING we WILL be provided for, as HE IS FAITHFUL unto HIS own!!!

We put on courage, resolve, strength, and assurance as our shields against the factions of this time; we put on the full armour of *GOD*, which is FAITH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH, THE WORD OF *GOD*, THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, SALVATION, and all which makes for our safety!!!

Fright WILL accompany much we face, yet, we MUST REMAIN FOCUSED UPON THE LORD, and ALL HE HAS taught us, and KEEP our armour intact, as we forge forward, and RELY ON HIM to lead us through, and past the pits of deception, and destruction!!!

You can BELIEVE our LORD IS on the mountain top, HE IS in the valley, HE IS in the plains, HE IS in the brush, HE IS in the desert, HE IS on the island, HE IS on the waters, HE IS in the air, HE IS EVERYWHERE we, HIS own are, and IS working miracles in this time! SHOUT from the mountain top, shout from the valley, shout from the plains, shout from the brush, shout from the desert, shout from the island, shout from the waters, let our shouts carry in the air, EXALT, and BLESS HIS HOLINESS, and HONOUR HIM with the best within, and TRUST HIM ALWAYS! It IS ALL FOR HIS GLORY, and TO HIM BE ALL GLORY, AMEN...
