HEAVENLY INCLINED...: UNASSAILABLE = KNOWLEDGE...

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...

UNASSAILABLE = KNOWLEDGE...

As I read through MATTHEW 5, which I do frequently, what most compels me, is the cold shoulder of many, to the instructions of THE LORD, as if this prized information, has no bearing on this time...

In this epic Chapter of THE WORD, THE LORD shares THE WAY, most eloquently, and personally; in the compassion of HIS LOVE, and HIS desire that we hear, and see, for the purpose of HOPE, eternal safety, and recompense. HE aims to set the standard into our very beings; to show us how to make THE WAY work for the good of all, and HIS GLORY...

There is CRUCIAL instruction throughout MATTHEW, concerning everyday matters, to more complex ones, which HE is not sharing to deny us, instead to guide us! HIS advice in every instance, has SOUND SENSE, and LOGIC, and as one observes what the lack of adhering to HIS WILL has rendered, it makes all the more sense, because the world is messed up by denying them...

Let's take Divorce for example; it is clear that none of us have taken HIS instructions seriously; which then, ties us into more sin! *GOD* is against Divorce; there is no denying HIS feelings on this matter, which IS SOUND, given the infidelity of HIS people, since the beginning of their presence on this planet! HE HAS LOGICAL reasons for being against it, which the understanding of HIS WORD, from early on, depicts plainly! Consider the surmounting problems which infidelity to Marriage, has caused; consider the full line of troubles it has created, for individuals, all the way through societies around the globe...

This is but one critical area of understanding for HIS people; HE has left NOTHING to chance, and HAS addressed everything in order for us to take it to heart, and then, to pattern our lives after...

HE has not only taught us that LOVE IS THE WAY, HE HAS SHOWN us in HIS own example, just how POWERFUL LOVE is, in relation to *GOD*, and eternal life! HE HAS SHOWN us the GOOD that LOVE wroughts, in ALL areas of life, now, and forever, and, HOW LOVE KEEPS the heart CENTERED ON HIS WILL, enough to master the mazes of this troubled plane of temporary existence!!!

There is such a cry from the people of this time, in regards to HIS instructions, as they refuse to believe that HIS instructions exist for them! I am nearly tired of hearing people say that they don't ascribe to certain teachings, because they were written for those back when, and were compiled by Men, despite numerous reminders such as 1 PETER 1: 25, but the word of the Lord remains forever."This is the word that has been proclaimed to you. And HEBREWS 4: 12, Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.

People bite into the apple of the Garden, in this late date, though, by now that apple should have, long ago been done away with! NONE of us is without err, NONE of us will end this journey without err, it is that we SEE err for what it is, and long to rid of it! All HOPE is NOT lost, as long as we align TO THE LORD...

We NEED to, for our own good, and for what is to come, not to mention for HIS GLORY, TAKE HIS instructions to the depths of that deeper being, and let it, as the seed it is, flourish! Time is NOT on our side, and goes by faster than we imagine, thus, I urge us ALL, to study, to consider, to learn, and to practice what HE offers, because it IS THE MOST IMPERATIVE PROVISION we have in this time, in this plane! HE IS THE LORD, *GOD* ALMIGHTY, CREATOR OF ALL IN EXISTENCE, and KNOWS EXACTLY, what HE is doing, and HIS plans for us, so, let us HEED HIM, TRUST HIM, and HONOUR HIM IN the BEST of our abilities, and partnership; AFTER ALL, WHAT HE has set before us IS FOR OUR sake, which then, GLORIFIES HIM, in HIS RIGHTFUL place OVER all else...

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, WORSHIP HIM, REJOICE IN HIS LOVE for us, and HIS PRESENCE in our lives, and THANK HIM continuously FOR HIS CARE for us, and HIS PLAN to bring us home!!!
