HEAVENLY INCLINED...: LET THE CHILDREN BE CHILDREN: CHILDHOOD IS A GIFT WHICH GOES TOO FAST...

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...

LET THE CHILDREN BE CHILDREN: CHILDHOOD IS A GIFT WHICH GOES TOO FAST...

That anyone can condone taking away the innocence of a Child to further an agenda, or some bizarre ideal is beyond the pale, and extreme; it is dangerous---

That anyone can attempt to justify what is happening in these times, is going to reap a deadly crop! The seeds being sown are beyond corrupt, and actually, designed to take souls from THE LORD, as well as to destroy an existence which might be worthwhile for a great many...

A little one has NO business thinking about things that are being pushed on them; they will find out things for themselves, but to open them up to the perversions of Adulthood when they are too young to yet understand these things is STOKING THE WRATH OF *GOD*, let me tell you!!!

MATTHEW 18: 6...

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Children, when very young, do not desire authority, do not regard outward distinctions, are free from malice, are teachable, and willingly dependent on their parents. It is true that they soon begin to show other dispositions, and other ideas are taught them at an early age; but these are marks of childhood, and render them proper emblems of the lowly minds of true Christians.

I know that the above pertains to Christians being as little Children, HOWEVER, it IS a grave sin to take a young one from innocence, especially DELIBERATELY to cause them to do what they would never have done...

WHAT is wrong with people that they want very young Children to be led astray? WHY is this happening? This is more than wrong, it is opening a Pandora's Box which will NOT bear anything healthy!!!

A teacher just taught 1ST graders about masturbation! REALLY? WHY? Do they need to learn that? Some things are just NOT done, and this is one of them! Along with the rest of the TOO radical matters they are attempting to instill in them. THEY ARE ROBBING THEM OF CHILDHOOD, AND they are wreaking havoc on the natural order of things! I am SO APPALLED, and ANGRY about all this crap! LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE, and LET THEM BE CHILDREN!!!

This is sickening, for sure, and I am glad to see that Parents are beginning to rise up to challenge these absolutely insane schemes!!!

EVIL IS FIGHTING to take us all! I KNOW *GOD* WILL SOON be arriving with fire, and vengeance! We have gone SO FAR FROM HIM that we WILL pay the price in a variety of ways, and finally, with HIS FURY!!!

TRUE Christians, get down on your knees and PRAY, and DO what can be done to battle the creature(s)! NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IN HIS NAME, FOR HIS GLORY, AND THE GOOD OF OTHERS, as we do WHAT we can to snatch souls from the fire, and inspire!!!

PUT ON YOUR ARMOUR, and STAND STEADFAST IN THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, AND HIS WILL! The battle is not ours, but unfortunately, we are in the battlefield!!!

HOLD UP MORALS, STANDARDS, and PRINCIPLES FOR those who MIGHT notice, and help these to SEE *GOD*, and to FOLLOW HIM!!!

Oh, poor little ones are being taken over by the beast, and ONLY those of us who have knowledge, and understanding CAN help them to SEE THE LIGHT THROUGH the darkness!!!

Dear Brothers, and Sisters, the gates of hell are WIDE open, and the war IS RAGING! Let us USE what HE HAS TAUGHT us, and HAS GIVEN us, that we not only REMAIN IN HIM, STRONG, and UNSHAKEN, but that we GUIDE as many as is feasible TO TRUTH, and FREEDOM IN HIM!!!

*GOD* HELP US!!!
