HEAVENLY INCLINED...: DOING THE WORK OF *GOD*: ALWAYS HELPING, ALWAYS PRAYING...

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...

DOING THE WORK OF GOD: ALWAYS HELPING, ALWAYS PRAYING...

Typhoon Haiyan is the most devastating storm on record, and has left hundreds of problems to work through! It is said to be 3 1/2 times more powerful than Hurricane Katrina, and we all know the devastation that storm left in it's wake...

Remember the earthquake in Haiti not too long ago? Well, this always forgotten little country, has been suffering from cholera since then, which is spreading to other countries, including Cuba, and Mexico, and so, those in the Philippines are at risk, especially given the unprecedented damage, and the fact that people are SO thirsty, they are drinking from any source, and not boiling their water...

Disease is imminent in such catastrophes; these people are living in the midst of thousands of deceased bodies, bacteria from all sorts of conditions, and there is trash everywhere! There are shipments of plastic being sent, to create temporary housing, and other necessities, though, the biggest problem is getting rid of ALL matters that will create disease, illnesses, and other threats from the people, thus, from spreading through the rest of the world!!!

Also, crime increases in such times! There are reports of violence, looting, and gunshots, and one can only imagine what else, as panic leads to temptations...

I read they are trying to send U. S. Vets in to assist with the clean-up, but ALL requirements in restoring these people to some semblance of normalcy, can only be met by money! So, I urge us all, even if it is but a few dollars, to assist in this effort to rid of a super-mess!!!

One of the safest, and most devoted sites is one I have used for many years; THE HUNGER SITE , which DOES phenomenal works of good throughout the world, and IS there for EVERY cause! Take a look around, and help as you can! Even just clicking on this site, daily, contributes to cups of food for the world's hungry, as sponsors provide! There is THE RED CROSS as well, and of course, your local sources, including your Church, or other known sources! Be careful though, ALWAYS look for the lock symbol at the top of the page! I received a plea to help from one of the world's largest Churches, and when I went to donate, it was not secure, so pay attention to detail!!!

HELP those in need! It is our duty to *GOD*, to one another, to LOVE, to the continued safety, and well-being of ALL on this planet! DO whatever you CAN do, and PRAY to *GOD* for HIS assistance in your assistance!!!

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, and HELP, HELP, HELP! What goes around comes around, and BLESSED are those that BLESS! May *GOD* BE with us ALL, and may HE BLESS us! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, THANK HIM, HONOUR HIM, and REJOICE IN HIM! ALL good we DO, IS FOR HIS GLORY, and the good of ALL!!!
