HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THE OPULENT LIVING WORD OF *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...

THE OPULENT LIVING WORD OF GOD!!!

It is another fantastically gorgeous day, and, is made even more so, because of the presence of THE LORD! PRAISE HIM evermore!!!

There are a multitude of reasons that we should remain IN THE WORD, one of which is, the more we learn, or, know, the easier it is, to discern what we need to! We are told to discern the spirits, that, we are aware of those, who are NOT of *GOD*, and, without knowledge, how can one do so? THE WORD, comes alive, while sinking into your depths, the more you read it, devour it, and, digest it, leading you to greater understanding, and, appreciation for the vital messages/instructions, therein, plus, your diligence brings you ever closer to *GOD*, which then, opens up to increased BLESSINGS, PEACE, HOPE, LOVE, FAITH, and, more!!!

*GOD* is not easy to know, though, HE IS nearby, nor, are HIS WAYS, easy to understand, especially, if one is not into reading, and, absorbing THE WORD! Through human teachings, MANY people think they know it all, but, not only is there faulty teachings, *GOD* has messages, lessons, and, empowerment's for EACH who seek HIM, IN HIS WORD! One, or two readings of THE WORD, in full, doesn't do HIS WORD justice, either! The MORE you devour, the more full is your soul, your knowledge, then, your Wisdom! I have read, and, read, and, each time, I notice something I did not before; often, to my surprise, just what I needed to know, or, understand! Many times, I have seen THE LIGHT, and, sat there nodding, wondering how I missed such, before!!!

THE WORD is RICHLY endowed with infinite WISDOM of *GOD*, and, messages motivated by LOVE, along with, the wish to lead us to safety, in this journey, called life! I can't begin to explain the imperatives which, are available to the deliberately, and, diligently seeking; it is amazing, but then, so is *GOD*!!!

Devotion is pretty much, all encompassing, but, this cannot be, until, there is knowledge, and, understanding, in which case, has to begin somewhere, thus, if, bit by bit, one is striving, they are on the right path! Devotion is a DEVELOPED state of existence, aligned TO *GOD*, and, takes time, patience, openness, and, determination, yet, every applied effort, is worthy! There is NO other manual on Earth, more imperative than HIS WORD; NOTHING can teach you what you TRULY need to know, as, can HIS WORD, in fact, ALL written compilations of Mankind, combined, could not match one of HIS WORDS/instructions/messages! NO other written work has SUPERNATURAL inclusions, nor, comes FROM THE LORD, our *GOD*! This is for great, sound reason, because ONLY HE CAN lead you, restore, renew, replenish, cleanse, and, sanctify you! ONLY *GOD* can teach you properly! ONLY *GOD* can allow you to SEE through the shrouds of deception, delusion, and, confusion! ONLY HE can redeem you! ONLY HE can take you to your rightful inheritance! ONLY WITH KNOWLEDGE, are you equipped to overcome, and, be victorious, and, knowledge IS A GIFT of THE ALMIGHTY *GOD*, overflowing with benefits, and, security, as well as, the confidence necessary, to finding your way, through the maze of time!!!

*GOD'S* WORD is the designated vehicle TO reaching us, TO teaching us, TO leading us, and, IS opulently capacitated TO endow, in EVERY feasible way, HIS Chosen: ONLY HE KNOWS, the plans HE has for EACH of us!!! BLESS HIM, HONOUR HIM, PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, TRUST HIM, and, KNOW HIM; this is KEY to life in the now, and, eternally!!!
