HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THAT TIME OF YEAR:)))

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...

THAT TIME OF YEAR:)))

It is vacation time:)))

For the next 2 weeks, I will be posting when possible! I was just thinking, and wow, it has been nearly 12 years since I took some pretty heavy VOWS to THE LORD, and 7 years since HE put me to work, all of which was, and is, an experience of altering, as I grow, and develop: in the beginning there was fumbling, and stumbling indeed! WHERE did all that time go? This site is not my first to HONOUR *GOD*, but has developed into THE one to do so, and is nearly at 6, 000 posts, not to mention the posts from other works!!!

Everyone needs time off to rejuvenate, to rest, to restore the entire being! People who work for *GOD* spend most of their time studying, pondering, learning, discovering, PRAYING, PRAISING, WORSHIPING, and inspiring others, along with many, many more things not known by others. So, we take time to step back, that our perspective is refreshed, and renewed, that our spirit is rekindled, and regenerated, taking time to rest, and relax, THAT our vision, and passion are deepened, and refined TO the point of THE HOLY SPIRIT working even more obviously through us, FOR HIS GLORY as THE WORD reaches the world...

As we journey this terrain, we are put to the test in a diverse ways, often without even being aware of it, and we become journey weary. Even during the Exodus, *GOD* mandated specific times for the people to camp, and take it easy for a while! A person NEEDS to slow down, smell the roses, and meld with what is going on within, and without! When it comes to a relationship with THE LORD *GOD*, we NEED to sit back, become still, and allow HIM to FILL us, even more, and to consider just how far HE HAS taken us to date! It is all relative to finishing the journey, and to encouraging others to do so, as well...

Yes, it is time to wade through the soul cleansing waters of HIS LOVE, HIS PLAN, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and submerge my spirit therein! It is time to devour HIS WILL, so I am never hungry, thus not tempted to seek sustenance on my own! It is time to still the being that I see, and hear HIM moving before me, around me, and through me all the more! It is time to contemplate the height, depth, and breadth of HIS GENIUS, HIS LOVE, and ALL that HE IS!!!

Anyway, I will be around occasionally, and I will be PRAYING for us all, and I will be gathering for the purpose of sowing! I wish you LOVE, PEACE, HOPE, and ALL which THE LORD provides for those who LOVE HIM! Take care, and may HE BLESS you endlessly! KEEP HIM in the forefront, and ALLOW HIS SPIRIT to complete you, and all WILL be well! PRAISE THE LORD, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, REJOICE IN HIS LOVE, and CARE for us, and HONOUR HIM at every opportunity WITH what HE HAS instilled within, FOR HIS GLORY, and the greater good of others! THANK HIM always for HIS GIFT OF LIFE, our LORD CHRIST JESUS, and EXALT HIM continuously!!!
