HEAVENLY INCLINED...: SIGN OF THE TIMES: MARRIED BUT LONELY, MARRIED BUT CHEATING: *GOD* FORBIDDEN PLEASURES OF THE FLESH...

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...

SIGN OF THE TIMES: MARRIED BUT LONELY, MARRIED BUT CHEATING: GOD FORBIDDEN PLEASURES OF THE FLESH...

I can't get over how many spam emails I get with the title, Married but Lonely Dating Site, Lonely Cheating Wives, and so forth:((( Then to make matters worse, they have websites that TEACH you HOW to have an affair, plus billboards all over the world advertising affairs guaranteed! It is just amazing that SO many people are that hard up, that dissatisfied, that willing to lose everything, to find someone to replace what they have, not to mention *GOD'S* hand, and opinion in these matters...

TRUST is being violated in more ways than infidelity to the Spouse, along with many other violations, let alone the complications of such!!!

More than your Spouse is hurt in the process of your lack of control! It runs through both sides of the Family, Friends, and ALL who are within the frames of your Marriage! Plus, what kind of example is being set FOR your Children?!!

What does it take for people to realize that it is GENERALLY, the UNCONTROLLED mind that is making them this desperate, over-heated, insatiable, and whatever else is tricking, and tripping them???

THE MIND, uncontrolled, that egocentric center of mischief, deception, discomfort, is to blame for MANY problems in this life, but is EASILY enticed by physical, and emotional needs!!!

The Internet HAS become a playground for the deceived, for those who remain far from THE TRUTH! It has become more than dangerous, which we have witnessed in many incidents, it has provided a slippery slide to snatched souls...

There are not only Married people playing sexual roulette, there are Pastors, Ministers, and others of the Cloth, there are Teachers, Government employees, and well, it runs all the way through society. Some of these people have lost what little control they had in the first place, to feel something they think they are missing. Danged shame, for sure, for real...

It is obviously fact, sex rules, sex sells, sex, sex, sex prevails OVER what is right, good, just, and sound! I wonder WHAT it takes for the world to SEE that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT of *GOD*, and is in fact, detestable to HIM, or, do they care???

I too, have heard the lines, "My Wife doesn't give me what I need!", "I LOVE my Wife, but, we have grown apart!", and so on! I can imagine what the Married Women are saying to their prospects:)))

Hormones ARE CONTROLLABLE! They come, and they go! Sometimes they are a potent force to reckon with, and seem unrelenting, but, it DOES pass, IF you give it time, using your POWER of CONTROL to subside them! Much of sexuality is mentality, it is true, and is inflamed by mental stimuli, SO it IS IN OUR CONTROL to tame those raging flames, AND EVERYONE gets lonely, but, this is NOT the way to deal with it...

Lynda said...: It is said that many Pastors, Ministers, Reverends, and others of the Cloth, do not spend more than 15 minutes a day in prayer, and most people less than this, yet, there IS an enormous amount of matters, and people to pray for...

PRAYER is POWERFUL, especially when it is sincere, and for the good of ALL...; January 11, 2013 at 12:47 PM
