HEAVENLY INCLINED...: PROPHECY & READINESS...

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...

PROPHECY & READINESS...

End time prophecies have existed since long, long ago, and we should heed them, taking the messages from THE LORD *GOD* to heart, examining the point of our growth, and the TRUTH of our position in HIM, then move forward, RELYING on HIM for the whole of the information necessary to protecting the soul---

NO ONE, no matter how studious, or how knowledgeable, or informed, can tell anyone WHEN the end will come; NOT EVEN CHRIST JESUS knows the day, or the time, UNTIL it is announced to HIM! (MATTHEW 24 & MARK 13; actually there are 50 or so references). HOWEVER, we are wise to pay attention to the signs, to be aware, and alert, but MOSTLY to tend to the matters which WILL see us safely entering eternity with our LORD *GOD*...

Prophecies have various features in order to awaken us to the seriousness of what is to come, and to urge us to make things right with THE LORD WHILE there is this day! EACH generation has thought they were in the end times, and I figure this is for the good of the soul, otherwise, what would motivate people to ready themselves, since most are caught up in their daily routines, and habits?!!

ONLY *GOD* KNOWS when this is to be exacted, and CHRIST JESUS said that though there be this sign, or that wonder, there is more which HAS to fall into place BEFORE HE appears in the clouds, which involves great evil, and suffering, trickery, and all sorts of other matters. I DON'T know one way or another, but it doesn't matter, because too many people ARE endangered, and therefore, OUGHT to be preparing for that great, and terrible DAY OF THE LORD, prophecies, or not; there is LOTS of work to be done for EACH of us, including the strengthening of our FAITH, and TRUE allegiance to HIM!!!

ANYONE who IS of THE LORD SHOULD be working for the good of others, and snatching them from the inevitable fires which WILL, at one point, reveal *GOD'S* WRATH, once, and for all! EACH person SHOULD discern the signs, and prepare their soul that they are found blameless come that DAY! NOTHING is more terrible than falling into the hands of THE LORD, and there is NO escaping for those who knew HIM not!!!

Right now, there is a LOT of adversity! There is also, a trend of complacency, and acceptance of things which are NOT of THE LORD, and which HE would NEVER accept! The righteous of the world NEED to be busy PRAYING for an immense number of matters, and people, AND we ought to be constantly offering CHRIST JESUS to the masses. If they deny HIM, they have chosen their lot, but there ARE those who just MIGHT TURN to HIM, and be saved! We also need to spread LOVE like a healing balm over the world, because it IS being obscured by the oppressor(s)...

The fiery destruction of Sodom, and Gomorrah, WERE glimpses into HOW the world will be destroyed, and WHY! Each of these serve as examples for us to take to heart, and to grasp! The ancients falling by the thousands in the desert, and other examples also exist FOR the purpose of SHOWING us how NOT to be as we journey this realm, AND how FIERCE IS THE WRATH of THE LORD *GOD* when people deny HIM, defy HIM, and otherwise anger HIM! Right now, we are facing FAR WORSE transgressions than possibly, EVER known, and so, we MUST be doing what we can to urge people to TURN TO *GOD*, and to find LIFE!!!

A LOT of people DO believe that *GOD* has abandoned us, or doesn't exist, and all sorts of other lies which are leading people into eternal dangers! We MUST let them know, by any means possible, that HE IS HERE, and IS OBSERVING, and IS MOVING among us, and HIS WRATH IS being kindled, day by day! We MUST REACH whom we might, and we MUST SHINE of HIM for ALL to see!!!

FEAR THE LORD with all your being, for ONLY HE has the power to destroy both the body, and the soul! NOTHING else matters, believe it! We HAVE the choice of eternal LIFE IN HIS KINGDOM, or not! YES, CHOICE! We can CHOOSE to TURN TO HIM, THE TRUE, MOST HIGH *GOD*, or suffer HIS WRATH! This MUST be taken to the world constantly, and deliberately, THAT those who might, choose to LIVE!!!

Be AFRAID, for all the evil we devise will come back on our own heads! The Earth, the HEAVENS, the stars in the sky, and all else WILL be destroyed, and gone will be all who did not know THE LORD, LOVE THE LORD, nor believe in LIFE! "The KINGDOM IS AT HAND", IS a TRUTH for EVERY generation, as we know NOT when we will be taken from this time, AND as evil increases, don't doubt that HIS WRATH IS nearing!!!

Today there are signs, and, there is HOPE! We CAN'T be enmeshed in the ensuing fear of the end, instead, we need to work towards the HOPE, for ourselves, and for others, and, FOR HIS GLORY! We need to be aware, and prepare, but we shouldn't be lost to the end times, because then nothing will get done, and even more souls will perish!!!

Use THE BIBLE as a guide to what is to come, and HOW to avoid HIS WRATH! Be wary of every cry of the end times, for some WILL lead people farther away from *GOD*! NEVER underestimate the enemy, for he is cunning, intelligent, well-versed, and hell bent on taking as many souls as is feasible, and CAN mislead, misguide, misinform, and misalign! KEEP the heart, mind, and sights ON THE LORD, and work through SALVATION with purposeful determination, THAT there is no possibility of being shaken to the point of being taken! KNOW THE LORD, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, and HIS WORD, CLING to HIM, and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!

We should not be focusing upon when the end will be, instead we are to be, like the good, and sensible servant DOING what his Master bid him to do, that when he returns, all is well with him (MATTHEW 24: 45-47)...
