HEAVENLY INCLINED...: INVOKE THE SPIRIT FOR THE GLORY OF 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...

INVOKE THE SPIRIT FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD GOD!!!

Throughout the days entering into the HOLYDAY season, and beyond, let us encircle ALL our Brothers, and Sisters around the globe, East to West, North to South, whom are being displaced, and suffering from what is against THE LORD...

Let us be VIGILANT in PRAYERS for them, and let us BE THE BODY OF THE CHURCH IN TRUTH, and hold fast to a miracle of GLORY for their sakes, and ultimately, for our own!!!

Also, let us help as we might; there are many organizations of THE FAITH whom ARE aiding all of the suffering! If everyone of CHRIST donated merely a dollar or two, it would make a HUGE impact in the care of those most suffering! There are nearly 20 million people displaced (a great number of them are Children), with more added to that number daily, not to mention the various forms of suffering being inflicted upon THE LORD'S people in quite a few countries! Let us BE HIS arms, HIS feet, HIS very heart, and let us DO as much as we can, after all, it IS for the building UP of our CHURCH, for HIS GLORY!!!

I am confident IN THE LORD, and where more than one are gathered IN HIS NAME, there is POWER UNPRECEDENTED! It might be unlikely for us to form a physical circle around the globe, but we CAN do so IN SPIRIT, and in PRAYER; we CAN invoke THE LORD'S GLORY TO SHINE before the world!!!

Let the cause of our Brothers and Sisters safety, and comforting BE our GIFT of LOVE this season, as we stand STRONG IN FAITH FOR THEIR DELIVERANCE! Let us PRAY without ceasing for them, and let us aid them as we are able! Let us BE as HIS LIGHT, and SHINE of HIS GLORY, and let us give THANKS for HIS PRESENCE, and HIS DELIVERANCE! Let us PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, and REJOICE for HIS LOVING CARE for ALL who LOVE HIM, and let us BE HIS REFLECTION in more than thought, or words! Let us SPARK THE HOLY FIRE, and let the world SEE HIM clearly, AMEN! In CHRIST JESUS' name, let US us demonstrate HIS POWERS!!!

I have received a notice of the condition of the millions of displaced over the globe, and there is nearly no good news for these people; add to that, Winter is in full swing, with little help coming in from anywhere, in which case, sometimes overnight, there are more added to the displaced by the tens, and hundreds of thousands!!!

We SHOULD NOT imagine that we can determine whether or not such people are Christian enough to receive our mercy, and grace, that would be deadly to our very souls; remember that NONE of us are worthy of *GOD'S* MERCY, and GRACE, but of LOVE HE grants the depths, and riches of HIS MERCY, and GRACE! We are ONE IN CHRIST; there is no distinction, we ARE in this together, for HIS GLORY!!!

Let us advance, and mature in our role in HIS GIFT, and let us LOVE as HE LOVES, for LOVE IS THE LAW; increasing THE CHURCH for HIS GLORY, of which we share in, IF we are living in HIS WILL! NO greater gift can we give to HIM, others, or ourselves than to exemplify HIM!!!; November 14, 2014 at 10:52 AM
