HEAVENLY INCLINED...: TRUST HIS DIVINE PLAN...

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...

TRUST HIS DIVINE PLAN...

From the beginning, until this very moment, what has happened, is working according to DIVINE plan! And yes, within it, lots of it is bad, wrong, painful...

But, we must understand that certain things HAVE to happen, in order for THE LORD'S WILL to be accomplished! Throughout THE WORD, HE speaks of having put HIS SPIRIT into people to make them act in ways, which WILL lead them to fulfilling a greater purpose, than the suffering their actions inflicted! ALL things work FOR the GOOD of *GOD*, even IF they seem senseless, and, overwhelming to those who are in line with this fact!!!

It is in this very way, that HE manifested our own Salvation! HIS Beloved people, have had to, and, have to, undergo MUCH in order for prophesy, and, fulfillment of HIS WILL! Just as CHRIST, THE LORD has suffered, so too, shall HIS Chosen!!!

The very end, the day of days, when HE comes to refine the world, will be the end of all suffering, but, until then, this very suffering is imminent TO that time! HE does NOT want anyone to perish, therefore, HE has been patient, and, has allowed immeasurable numbers of people to be shown as their hearts reveal the truth of their existence, allegiance, or, denial!!!

I detest human suffering, or, any suffering, yet, I can calm myself with understanding of HIS WILL, and, WAYS! I can PRAY, PRAISE, WORSHIP, and, REJOICE, while I have the time to do so! I can TRUST HIS DIVINE plan, for HE IS THE LORD, *GOD* ALMIGHTY, and, is GENIUS beyond comprehension! I can dig deeper, and, deeper into HIS WORD, to find better understanding, then, do MY part of HIS plan, while PRAYING for all others! And of course, I can exemplify HIM, through my own character, and, behaviours, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY! I can KEEP my thoughts on that ABOVE, and, NOT become enmeshed in matters that ONLY HE knows, and, controls!!!

People can become lost in the matters of the world, which is WHY HE has told us to KEEP our thoughts on that ABOVE! Our understanding, is limited, thus, what we don't understand, HAS the power to remove us from what is OF HIM, because, the enemy is ever busy, making sure we are distracted, deluded, confused, and, on it goes!!!

What happens in the course of a day is enough to weaken us to the point of no return, THUS, we MUST REMAIN IN HIM, and, CONCENTRATE on growth, and, development, and ever increased understanding THROUGH THE WORD! This will keep us busy enough to move through what HAS the potential to take us down, bind us, and, remove us from HIM! Never underestimate the loathing hatred the deceiver holds for us; he is ALWAYS on the move, preying on even the slightest wrong from us!!!

And, we MUST PRAY! We should be always AWARE, yet, NOT subject to the evil of this day! PRAY, PRAISE, WORSHIP, REJOICE, and, ALWAYS be aligning TO THE LORD!!!

MATTHEW 24: 13...
But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
