HEAVENLY INCLINED...: LOVE AND THE SPIRIT...

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...

LOVE AND THE SPIRIT...

IF we LEARN to LOVE as we should, then, we are BOUND BY that LOVE, TO the SPIRIT, and, will live accordingly! So many do NOT yet, understand HOLY LOVE, which is, the LOVE we ARE to adapt to, mimic, and, adhere to! It is THE OPTIMAL LOVE of CREATION, and, IS ALL EMPOWERING, ALL ENCOURAGING, SELFLESS, and, ALL PROVISIONAL!!!

HOLY LOVE is NOT a notion, it IS a LIFESTYLE, and, BECOMES as VITAL as is our flesh! It is NOT words, it IS COMPLETELY ONE WITH US, from THOUGHT, to ACTION, then, REACTION! IT IS the VISIBLE PROOF of RIGHTEOUSNESS ALIVE, in letter, and, deed!!!

GALATIANS 5:13-26, explains it best...
13/ For you were called for freedom, brothers. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love.
14/ For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15/ But if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
16/ I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
17/ For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.
18/ But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19/ Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
20/ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,
21/ occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22/ In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
23/ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24/ Now those who belong to Christ [Jesus] have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.
25/ If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
26/ Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another...

*GOD* has told us to, first, LOVE, and, LIVE in that LOVE, THEN, to BE HOLY, BECAUSE HE IS HOLY! Which, only makes sense, for IF you have BECOME ONE with CHRIST, through baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT, how COULD it be, that you would WANT to live in a state, contrary? Yet, many of you ARE attempting to live IN CHRIST, while maintaining rights in the flesh! This is due to many things, but, know this, it IS impossible, as, your salvation was bought at a price, and, the price was your surrender, submission, compliance, and, willingness, to carry the yoke of CHRIST, enduring, and, persevering, while BEING a SHINING example of HIM, and, HIS LOVE!!!

True, those who ARE, honestly, of *GOD* will SHINE no matter what! My messages are not FOR such people! My messages are aimed at awakening, and, reminding, those whom are at risk, and, whom need TRUE guidance to instruction! My messages are to aid others in turning, completely, to *GOD*, as the day of reckoning, could come at any moment, and, it is my work to compel the world to wake up to the facts of safety from that which IS, without doubt, coming, so that, they ARE where they WANT to be; whether, with the FATHER, SON, and, HOLY GHOST, or, that awful alternative!!!

And, for you who think that you are above more instruction, or, deeper evolvement, I urge you to realize that spiritual maturity is never complete in this life, and, to always be humble, not, arrogant, in your walk with *GOD*!!!

WHO could EVER KNOW, FULLY, THE WORD, OR, *GOD*? HIS GENIUS is beyond comprehension!!!

No matter how many times I have read THE WORD, or, all related materials, I find information I missed previously, and often, vital instruction POPS up out of that which you have read before, when you most need it, thus, I encourage you to keep your nose in THE BOOKS, and, continue perfecting in LOVE, virtues, character, and, development, that you become as a TRUE LIGHT, for others, come that awful day of judgement!!!

We MUST NEVER FORGET, it IS written, come those times, the elemental ruler of the world, and, his angels, whom ARE EXTREMELY capable, WILL be able to yet STEAL, from *GOD*, souls which have NOT been PROPERLY prepared! Thus, it IS imperative to ALWAYS seek more, and, more KNOWLEDGE, that our FAITH, LOVE, and, CONVICTION IN *GOD*, IS HONED to a shield impenetrable by the last attempts of evil; IT IS CALLED PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOR OF *GOD*!!!
