HEAVENLY INCLINED...: MONDAY: BLESSINGS OF MAJESTY...

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...

MONDAY: BLESSINGS OF MAJESTY...

By the GRACE, and LOVE of *GOD*, it is a new day, in a new week, let us PRAISE HIM!!!

Each day we should grab onto the encouragement that we HAVE BEEN BLESSED in a way which is forever, and which guides all else: WE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN, and ARE of THE LORD, and while this might not seem tangible in the now, there is nothing greater to the now than the knowledge that we ARE OF THE LIGHT, our LORD *GOD*, WHOM IS, and EVERMORE SHALL BE, and whose POWERS are incorruptible, unswayed, irrevocable, and ALWAYS increasing! We are OF HIM, therefore ENABLED BY ALL HE IS!!!

I AM BLESSED: this I believe, this I live in! Knowing that this exodus IS overseen by THE LORD *GOD* DOES encourage me, even when it seems the world is being shaken off it's very axis! There is NO ONE, nor ANYTHING comparable in the slightest, to THE LORD, and HIS POWERS, and so, I am in the most OPTIMAL, POSITIVE CARE one could ask for! This doesn't mean that I am exempt from what is natural to this plane, it means I am EMPOWERED from on HIGH, to navigate through!!!

I DON'T need material matters to reiterate that I am BLESSED, the CORE of this TRUTH is EVIDENT WITHIN me, and PROVIDES exceedingly in endless ways! I DON'T need to have visible proof of being BLESSED, for it is FAR LOFTIER than that, and CARRIES me in ways that the world could NEVER provide! I am ENRICHED BY *GOD* in ways which channel into my very depths, MORE every single day, as I am more convinced by HIM, HIS WILL, and HIS WAYS!!!!

Think about it, and BE HAPPY, BE JOYOUS, and PRAISE HIM: too many of this time are NOT BLESSED, for they know NOT their LORD, or do not accept HIM, and since the world, it's ways, and it's own are always changing, and are passing away, WHAT better assurance, or inspiration COULD there be than to KNOW that we WILL share in HIS GLORY??!

This is a tough journey, indeed, HOWEVER we are ENDOWED BY THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, whom IS just a breath away, a PRAYER away, a TRUST away! HE IS WITH US, and DOES PROVIDE for us, and as we SEEK HIM more in this place, HE ENLIGHTENS us enough to stimulate, and recharge our FAITH, and FAITHFULNESS all over again, moment after moment, hour after hour, day after day! BELIEVE with ALL your heart, with all your being, and that TRUST WILL open UP to HIM!!!

Yes, it is a NEW day, in a NEW week, in a NEW month, by HIS GRACE, LOVE, and PATIENCE, and we ARE BLESSED, therefore, ISN'T this a most wonderful way to begin this time, and to build upon FOR HIS GLORY, and for the good of others???

*GOD* BLESS us, and BE with us, and may we BLESS HIM in turn, BY HONOURING HIM with THANKS, GRATITUDE, PRAISE, WORSHIP, and EXALTATION, WHILE we SHINE of ALL HE has BESTOWED upon us, from the depths outwardly, THAT the world SEES HIM, and IS inspired to SEEK HIM! MUCH LOVE, take care, and GLOW with the PEACEFUL JOY HE fills us with!!!
