HEAVENLY INCLINED...: MY PROCLAMATION!!!

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...

MY PROCLAMATION!!!

Last night, after devouring the WORD, I wrote this, in hope of expressing just HOW DEEPLY *GOD* has reached into me, not that HE wasn't already reaching into me, instead, that the world had placed a shroud around me, that I was deceived to the TRUTH that HE WAS deeply rooted within me!!!

LEVEL UP: A HIGHER PLANE!!!

Times past,
Fools paradise;
Errs cast,
Shackled chains of lies...

Bottom hit,
No other way to go;
My deficit,
A major blow...

Troubled days,
Adventurous nights,
Ignorant to the WAYS,
Blind to the rights...

*GOD* took me down, deep,
He showed me hell,
Lessons to ever keep,
Transgressions, an awful smell...

Stench of evil, over-riding senses,
Cold hearts playing their game;
Maneuvering pretenses,
I shudder, from the shame...

I cried out to *GOD*, "Help, please,
Enough, I have seen!",
While the opposition did not cease,
HE became a shield, between...

Slowly, I began to heal,
HIS LOVE, as a balm,
In which, HE did reveal,
THE LIGHT of calm...

Repentant, humbled, in fear,
I surrendered my ego
To THE WAY, now my vision of the path, is clear,
Leading UP from below...

HIS SPIRIT filled me,
Raising me HIGHER by the hour;
I was made whole, you see,
By LOVE'S perfect power!!!

PRAISE *GOD* for HIS GENIUS plan,
To rescue HIS own!
GRACIOUS IS HIS MERCY to Man,
Unlike anything ever known!!!

A most willing slave am I, today,
In joyous service to the LORD!
LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, PEACE, and, GRATITUDE, are my way,
As I AM living proof of HIS WORD!!!

GLORY, ALL GLORY be
Unto *GOD*, our FATHER, TRUE!!!
HALLELUJAH unto THEE,
AMAZING IS the heart of YOU!!!

Thank you *GOD*, the FATHER, SON, and, HOLY SPIRIT, for this day, for lifting me UP, to a HIGHER plane, and, for clearing my being from the fog of deception, and, for granting me the opportunity to serve YOU!!! I am ever indebted, and, grateful!!! ALL GLORY BE UNTO THEE, AMEN!!!
