HEAVENLY INCLINED...: FOR THE GLORY OF *GOD*: HEART TO THE CAUSE...

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...

FOR THE GLORY OF GOD: HEART TO THE CAUSE...

Hey there, beautiful people of this life:) I PRAY this *GOD* given day/night, has been just fine for you, and that you remembered HIM in all the hours of this time! Here we are entering a new week, by the GRACE, and wishes of THE LORD *GOD*, and so, it is time to REJOICE, PRAISE, and WORSHIP HIS patience, and LOVE for us, which allows time to continue, FOR HIS GLORY, and the return of HIS own!!!

2 TIMOTHY 4: 1-5...
1/ I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power:
2/ proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.
3/ For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers
4/ and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.
5/ But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry.

People will turn away from the truth, they will grow weary of the plain gospel of Christ, they will be greedy of fables, and take pleasure in them. People do so when they will not endure that preaching which is searching, plain, and to the purpose. Those who love souls must be ever watchful, must venture and bear all the painful effects of their faithfulness, and take all opportunities of making known the pure gospel.

I share this message today because we ARE seeing, more, and more, that greed of fables, and fairy tales throughout societies of this world, and because more than a few Pastors, Preachers, Ministers, are also, thus enmeshed, as they strive to PLEASE people OVER THE LORD!

I also share this for the message of whether it is convenient, or not, we must prevail in obligation, and oblation to THE MOST HIGH *GOD*! It should not matter what is going on around us, or in our lives; constant, and consistent we OUGHT to remain IN HIM, FOR HIS GLORY, and for the safety of HIS own. This message applies to ALL of THE LORD, for each of us IS part of the ministering to lost souls, and the effort to rescue them, is best done through our own thoughts, actions, and reactions, which should be unquestionable examples of HIM, HIS LIGHT, HIS WILL, HIS TRUTH! Again, self has NO place in the whole, instead, we do FOR HIM, and HIS own, that come that DAY of DAYS, we are fully recompensed, and glorified as we share in HIS GLORY, forevermore!!!

No matter what is going on, HOW could I NOT do what is necessary to promote, and build UP THE LORD, and HIS WILL? HE NEVER takes time off from me, from us, therefore, I AM equipped to do whatever HE leads me to do, at ANY given time! It is best if we ALWAYS remind ourselves that this IS NOT about us, it IS ABOUT HIM, and when HE comes to reclaim HIS own, we WILL inherit the fullness of HIS GLORY, and promises! Until then, it is heart TO the cause, THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY!!!

THE GOOD LORD, our SAVIOUR, and KING, SHOULD be SO integrated into our lives, that AT ALL times, HE is right there in the midst of whatever we are doing! In fun times, in serious times, in good times, in bad times, ANY time, HE should be as close as our own skin, and breath; then, all will go according TO HIS WILL, and we, thus, are privy TO HIS benevolence...

PRAYER is to be constant, and consistent, which unsettles many people, because they don't see how they can fulfill this! PRAYER is communication, and contact with THE HEAVENLY FATHER; it is not always on bended knee, though is always from the heart of hearts! It is an ongoing dialogue with the ONE entity of purpose, and reason, and as beneficial as it gets! HE IS OUR FATHER, therefore, THE ONE we should BE totally connected with, word, and deed! Practice makes perfect...

HE GAVE US LIFE, and IS OUR LIFE, therefore, ONENESS WITH HIM, at ALL times IS normal, and IS extremely, valuable! As we journey home TO HIM, we ought to place significance ON THE ONE WHO IS LEADING US there!!!

Let us be grateful thankful, appreciative, open to receiving HIM, and always busy FOR HIM, and our lives will be all the sweeter!!!

MUCH LOVE to you! Take care, and *GOD* BLESS! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, REJOICE IN HIM, THANK HIM, and HONOUR HIM BY BEING HIS REFLECTION, body, mind, heart, and spirit!!! OXOXOXOX
