HEAVENLY INCLINED...: JUDGE NOT, GUIDE, YES!!!

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...

JUDGE NOT, GUIDE, YES!!!

Who am I to judge?, is an aligned, and healthy mindset---

Though this mindset is incomplete if it does not accompany the invitation to CHRIST, or the inspiration to FOLLOW HIM, that is to go, and sin no more! THE LORD HIMSELF said that HE came not to judge, nor condemn, after all, a person's heart, and actions do so, yet, HE told ALL to repent, and to sin no more...

The whole thing IS, we HAVE this time, and opportunity TO step INTO HIM, and HIS WILL; to IMPROVE the being, and become ONE with THE KINGDOM, which IS accomplished in thought, action, and reaction conformed TO HIS WILL, and WAYS, in HONEST, humble surrender of the NEED to retain OUR will OVER HIS!!!

WHEN we relinquish OUR will TO HIS, we no longer cave into the desire to satiate the flesh, and it's desires, because something greater is at work, and IS much more satisfying, as well as way more lasting than the feeding of carnal desires! We will struggle at first as the flesh battles with the spirit for control, and we will miss some of what we relinquish as we grow, but eventually, we will experience great relief in our shedding of the weight of such! We will recognize HOW deception KEPT us prisoner with intention to TAKE us permanently away from our rightful, and BLESSED inheritance! We REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS FOR HIS LOVE, and PLAN for the rescue of our souls from the enemy, AS we gather more self-control FOR HIS GLORY, our own good, and hence the good of others...

SOME people ARE SERIOUSLY chained to the desires of the flesh, and DO have a horrific battle IF they so long to be ONE with THE LORD; they NEED STRONG guidance; persistently so, as well as constant reminders of WHY it is optimal to shed the world in favour of the spirit! Unfortunately, in this busy world it is most difficult to find those who will take the time to walk through the battle with them, YET this IS what they most need, as well as TRUE examples of those aligned to HIM!!!

In this time it IS so hard to find a guide with a perfect blend of all necessary to directing one TO THE LORD, and past themselves! It is MORE than words, more than general guidelines, more than a mere mix of instructions, it takes a WHOLE package of TRUTH TO inspire, motivate, encourage, and protect as these people REACH FOR THE LIGHT, and take off the garments of darkness! Great work is involved in helping people to KNOW CHRIST JESUS, and towards their understanding of HOW the mind KEEPS them enslaved to the flesh!!!

Today's way of guiding people sees a LOT of people unequipped because there just doesn't seem to be enough time to properly fuse them to THE LORD, and yet, it lies on those seeking to do their part, as well! Apostle Paul MADE it his business to guide people into THE KINGDOM, and while he was not always present, he kept reminders flowing throughout THE CHURCH, by letters, by sending effective guides, and much more! He did NOT leave the process after the introduction, he KEPT it alive, and flourishing, and this is what needs to happen today! People seeking THE LORD require assistance, knowledge, understanding, and HONEST attention as they struggle within! They require a TRUE representative of CHRIST to inspire them, and KEEP them on THE PATH! They require MUCH, and they OUGHT to be able to find what is necessary TO their transformation, through those CALLED to bring them into HIM!!!

TRUTH says we MUST repent and align to *GOD*! There is NO exception to this mandate! One CANNOT remain in the flesh IF they are IN CHRIST JESUS, at least not in heart, and thus, in mind! This is NOT to say there won't be struggles, instead that we are working to get past such! It doesn't mean that we will automatically be made whole, instead it means we DESIRE MORE than anything to do so! It IS a matter of MIND OVER matters of the flesh, and the world; a mind of *GOD*, and *GODLINESS*! So, for a religious guide to be complacent about the sins of others is NOT a good thing, for there is danger in every second of time in this realm, and the unlearned are in harms way, indeed! People HAVE the right to KNOW THE WAY OF THE LORD FULLY, without ANY pertinent being excluded because then, they are NOT receiving the FULLNESS of TRUTH!!!

ALL ARE sinners, we were born into sin, and therefore, we are ALL in need of repentance, which is conformity in conduct TO *GOD*, and HIS WILL! As Christians we are to HELP one another PAST the flesh, and INTO the spirit! We ARE ONE WITH HIS GLORY WHEN HIS GLORY IS REVERED OVER all else, and IS as one with our beings!!!

No, I ought not judge, and I PRAY to refrain from judging at all times, but I will NOT relent in inspiring one to seek THE LORD, HIS LOVE, HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, for ONLY IN HIM is there LIFE, and what we consider life in the here, and now, WILL be eradicated forevermore, as surely as the wrongs of those who LOVE HIM!!!

THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY IS SOLE JUDGE! IF one is IN CHRIST, they are no longer flesh but spirit, therefore, how can they judge in the flesh? We must not leave room for the enemy, not in others, or ourselves, but we must OPEN UP to *GOD*, and ALL which is *GODLY*!!!

Let those CALLED to guide BE TRUE to their Calling, and let those who seek HIM, seek HIM in TRUTH, and SPIRIT, and let us ALL stand as ONE IN HIS NAME, as HE renders HIS work complete in HIS own, FOR HIS GLORY!!!
