HEAVENLY INCLINED...: HOW CAN AMERICA BE LED SINCE THE 'LEADERS' ARE ENGAGED IN HOSTILITY???

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...

Ok, so ISN'T it about time to move forward in D. C.? Keep investigating this, that, and the other, but at the same time, GET BUSY manning the ship, passing bills, and whatever other matters which this country NEEDS rectified, and completed---

Get off the merry-go-round of he said, she said, they said, and GET TO WORK! Resistance is NOT producing ANY thing, instead it IS hurting the nation overall! Those who are hell bent on resistance are actually, embarrassing us; they are endangering us; they are creating rifts that just might cause us to fall!!!

LORD HAVE MERCY, what is happening IS ridiculous, childish, and absolutely counter-productive! Time IS being wasted, as well as resources, and trust in the system!!!

Airing dirty laundry is taking it's toll on a great many aspects of our country, and it's people, as well as it's continued presence, and safety! GET A GRIP ON yourselves, and MOVE FORWARD! We ARE TIRED of all the spin, of all the falsehoods, of all the fighting back and forth!!!

Some of you 'leaders' ARE TOTALLY out of line, acting badly, and then there are those being TOO stubborn, and well, GROW UP and DO what you are PAID to do! Proves that 'higher' education DOESN'T suffice for common sense, rationale, or negotiating skills!!!

WHY do you KEEP the flames of dissension burning? SHOULDN'T you be above all that? IF YOU are acting like Children then WHO will LEAD the REAL Children? Seriously, you NEED to consider HOW foolish you appear to everyone outside your cozy elite cliques! You NEED to ADULT UP!!!

Once we were called Peacemakers, but I gotta say, if there is NO Peace in our land, HOW can we claim such an honour???

My voice surely won't be heard, or might not matter, but I CANNOT stand all this nasty bickering, name calling, gnashing of the teeth, contempt, and other WRONGS, anymore! We have dealt with all this for years now, and it is only getting worse; HEAR THE BELLS TOLLING, SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE, and SURELY, SOME OF YOU HAVE TO STEP DOWN OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES and TOE THE LINE TO LEAD THIS DEMOCRACY!!!

WISE leaders lead with the heart, with deliberate consideration FOR the people, and knowledge which SERVES ALL; NOT with opinion, hatred, scathing, or other negatives, and IF that IS the NEW standard, then LORD HELP us, because from coast to coast we are going to damage ourselves like no outside threat ever could hope to!!!
