HEAVENLY INCLINED...: ONE OF THOSE HAD TO SHARE...

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...

"What is Israel's role in the end times?"

THE LORD'S people WILL, through PRAYER, VIGILANCE, DILIGENCE, and THE SPIRIT, be able to discern, and recognize the times ahead of HIS arrival without ever having actual knowledge of the hour of those times, IF KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING of THE WORD, and HIS WILL are in place. It is the enemy's intention that people are anxious, confused, focused upon that which will disarm them, and so forth, THEREFORE, we are WISE to KEEP our thoughts on that ABOVE, and our eyes to THE BOOK! As it says in the above article, because of the continuance of the enmity towards Israel, people will have a tendency to tire of it, and thus, miss out on necessary indicators, and not only that, people will become complacent in their very WORSHIP of THE LORD, as they tire of waiting on HIM, and busy themselves with human doctrines OVER what is OF HIM...

It is written that many will be shaken from their FAITH in those times, and part of the reason for this is that their FAITH was NOT soundly anchored in their souls, as they attach human perception to HOLY TRUTH! This is what the enemy is counting on, and stirring up, that all the more souls are endangered come that surprise moment of reckoning...

We SHOULDN'T be as concerned about the end times as we are, because it creates a SHIFT in conscientiousness, and hinders preparedness! While we should be aware, and awake, we should NOT be consumed, because we will be blind-sighted in overly concentrating, instead we should be BUSY showing ourselves approved, SERVING *GOD*, and others, PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING, and DEVELOPING our FAITH, FAITHFULNESS, LOVE, and what is right, just, and good, WHILE snatching as many from delusion as is feasible, and helping them to become prepared as well...

BLESS THE LORD! PRAISE HIM ALWAYS! WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS! REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE, in HIS LOVING CARE for us! TRUST HIM, RELY ON HIM, PRAY TO HIM, and BE GRATEFUL UNTO HIM! PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY some more! HONOUR HIM BY BEING HIS REFLECTION, thought, action, and reaction! LIVE IN HIM, FEAR HIM, fearing little, or NOTHING else, and HE WILL guide you through! LOVE, and BE the TRUTH of LOVE, in the best of your capacities, which are far increased IF YOU KNOW HIM, and HIS WILL! LET THE PEACE of FAITH, and FAITHFULNESS DOMINATE over the anxieties, fears, and troubles of this world! EXALT HIM THROUGH REMAINING IN HIM, no matter what!!!
