HEAVENLY INCLINED...: FOR THE CHILDREN, FOR THE FUTURE, LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF LOVE, THE LORD...

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 CHILDREN, FOR THE FUTURE, LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF LOVE, THE LORD...

People are killed every single day, and quite a number of those killing, are not a bit over 19, with most below that age! Some of these kids are killing to be cool, some are in gangs, some feel they are doing it for a cause, some are killing because of discontent, some are killing because of hate, some are killing because drugs took them over the top, and so forth! I don't think there has ever been a higher number of such young killers, and they are all over the world...

As soon as someone perishes, hatred flourishes, and incites millions! Lack of the kind of LOVE which *GOD* COMMANDS, IS one of the main reasons for so many deaths in this world, and yet, as soon as one hears of another incident, hate increases, and more problems arise! Instead of us seeking to find answers to diminishing the numbers of killers in the world, we create more, with our hatred, as people are filled with more bad teachings, and examples, which incites...

More hatred is NOT going to get anyone anywhere, and will increase the problems these kids have with the world, as a whole, and creates more problems between the Adults, who SHOULD be teaching them, and setting examples for them! This is SERIOUS, and REQUIRES attention! Complacency, and fear are NOT going to slow them down, or stop them...

Perhaps we need *GOD* camps, nothing like Church camps, instead, hard core camps where certain kids, and people, are sentenced to at least one full year of intense learning about THE HOLY LORD, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, and of LOVE! Instead of detention homes, and other holding places, where they are prone to worse attitudes, and worse influences, sentence them to learning what is right, just, and good, with strict, firm ordained delivering *GOD* in HUGE doses! Just a thought, but, it makes more sense than all the alternatives to this date, because nothing else has worked this far!!!

As long as LOVE is lacking in this world, we are going to suffer, in diverse, and innumerable ways! They say the only ones talking about LOVE, is the Preacher, but, hey, we aren't talking it enough, if no one is getting it...

Personally, I can't sit by in complacency, fear, and lack of ideas, and watch the world be taken over by the enemy, and the poisoned hate which is his! NO PARENT, NO TEACHER, NO PREACHER, NO ADULT SHOULD sit by and allow the enemy to take over the Children, or those we LOVE! It is TIME to DO SOMETHING, and I BELIEVE that IF more people became INVOLVED, MANY workable solutions would appear! We ALSO, NEED to take a GOOD, LONG look at weapons control, NOT just guns, but weapons!!!

We NEED to PRAY, and ask THE LORD to lead us in these times! We REALLY NEED HIM!!!

HOW many need to die before we ADMIT that there ARE PROBLEMS we ARE OVERLOOKING, and IGNORING? Problems which often, begin in the home, in school, and in the company our young ones keep, not to mention the endless wrong influences by way of television, movies, muzik, videos, games, and on it goes!!!

*GOD* bids that we raise Children IN HIS WAYS, and just take a look around at what happens when *GOD* IS NOT THE HEAD of the TO DO LISTS!!!

Oh people, I am weary from the hate, from the weaknesses, from the lack of self-control, YET, I WILL NEVER relent in sharing *GOD*, LOVE, or what WILL HEAL THE WORLD!!!

*GOD* BE WITH US! LET US PRAY, PRAISE, WORSHIP, and REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE, because without HIM, it would be far worse...
