HEAVENLY INCLINED...: PROBLEMS? *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...

PROBLEMS? GOD...

Got problems? Come to THE LORD! HE, alone will lead you, guide you, heal you, restore you, and help you to be triumphant...

Turn to THE LORD with ALL you suffer; with a TRUSTING, and sincere heart; repent of all errs, and open UP to HIM! Release what hinders you, binds you, afflicts you, as you share with HIM, what you feel oppressed by, then, THANK HIM, PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE, and LOVE, and move forward with relief, and belief...

Keep in mind that HIS time is NOT as ours, and that HE is NOT a genie, and that HIS WILL PREVAILS OVER all else! TRUST that HE IS working for your benefit, IN HIS own WAYS! Just BELIEVE!!!

HE KNOWS, better than we, the weight of our sufferings, and what plagues in this old world, though sometimes HE DOES incorporate some lessons into such, for our own good, and the advancement of our growth IN HIM! HE WON'T forsake the FAITHFUL; this HE has PROMISED! So, BELIEVE, be patient, and PRAISE HIM in the storms!!!

NONE other could aid you as can HE; none other could lead you to HIGHER grounds; none other could provide as does HE, and none other has your best in heart, ONLY HE LOVES you enough to lead you rightfully, to where you belong, and to free you from the hindrances of this time!!!

HE IS THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY; the POWER of ALL in existence; WISE, LOVING, SURE, and ALL PROVISIONAL for those who seek HIM!!!

HE, as Man, overcame the world, remaining PERFECT in what HE endured, and persevered in this world! HE left us HIS own example to pattern our lives after, and with the GIFT of THE HOLY SPIRIT to act on our behalf, as we strive to make it through these times! HE teaches us that strength, courage, and all goodness of character, and behaviour is found IN HIM, and the example HE left us with! Thus, when we are troubled, when we are plagued, when we are suffering, we only have to, in FAITH, speak to HIM, and TRUST HIM, while doing so! HE IS TRIUMPH personified, therefore, let us imitate HIM, BELIEVE IN HIM, and ALLOW HIM to work on our behalf...

HE says HE did not leave us alone, as orphans; that HE is EVER near, and so, let us always be confident IN HIM, and HIS PROMISES! That HE IS with us, OUGHT to be encouragement enough to be able to remain steadfast IN HIM, and in HOPE!!!

What we experience is part, and parcel to what is human, but, if we are tried beyond our strength, we only have to cry out to HIM, be patient, and keep the FAITH!!!

All things of this time pass, and are passing, so let us NOT cling to them, no matter how troubling they are to us; let us raise UP TO THE LORD, and be strengthened, renewed, replenished, and reassured, for HE IS THE ANSWER TO ALL, and EVERYTHING!!!

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, WORSHIP HIM constantly, REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE, and in HIS LOVE for us, and THANK HIM, EXALT HIM, then, HONOUR HIM with the BEST within, for HE IS our ROCK, our FORTRESS, our SURE, and PRESENT HELP; our STRENGTH, and REFUGE! PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! AMEN!!!
