HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THY WILL BE DONE!!!

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...

THY WILL BE DONE!!!

Around this time, Joseph and Mary were travelling from Galilee to be registered for the census which Caesar Augustus had ordered for everyone; each to his own city, in which case they were headed to Judea, the city of David, called Bethlehem---

EVERY intention, PROMISE, BLESSING, and most curses of *GOD* ALMIGHTY HAVE manifested! Some curses, or wrath, HE repented of when people humbled themselves, but ALL of HIS PROMISES HAVE been fulfilled, and ALL of HIS BLESSINGS continue to pour out even in this hour! Over 600 years before, the prophecies of the birth of our SAVIOUR, CHRIST JESUS was recorded, and it DID come to pass, just as *GOD* said! It is imperative for people to understand that what *GOD* has DECREED SHALL come to LIGHT, indeed; this includes BLESSINGS, PROMISES, and curses!!!

The ONLY LOGICAL reason WHY so many people refuse THE TRUTH of THE LORD, and HIS SOVEREIGNTY is the adversary, and his strong influence on the egocentric being! THUS, we HAVE been taught to leave the carnal being, the flesh, behind, and STEP INTO HIM, and HIS WILL! As I have said before, it IS elementary, but thanks to the deception, confusion, delusion, and wrong-mindedness of the world, and it's ways, it SEEMS more complex!!!

It is CHRISTmas time, a most wondrous time of the year; a most enlightening time for the soul! We OUGHT to be absorbing the FULLNESS of HIS WILL, and PLAN to SAVE us from ourselves, and the oppressor, whose agenda is simple, to keep us FROM our REALITY, which IS LIFE ETERNAL IN THE KINGDOM OF THE MOST HIGH *GOD*!!!

LUKE 2: 1-4...
1+++In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
2+++(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
3+++And everyone went to their own town to register.
4+++So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

As with much SCRIPTURE, there is theological conflict over the census mentioned in this passage; some say it means they were being taxed, others say it stands as reads, that everyone had to register in census THAT they would be then, taxed! In studying THE WORD, we RELY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT TO help us discern, and some matters need not be so scrutinized, while others, because of their significance to our overall well-being, and safety should be, but ALL work TOGETHER to SUPERNATURALLY REALIZE *GOD'S* WILL!!!

Anyway, the SACRED arrival of CHRIST JESUS is just about to take place, as Joseph and Mary head towards the CHOSEN city of Bethlehem, THAT the OMNIPOTENCE OF *GOD* ALMIGHTY IS SHOWN, and KNOWN, because the enemy was, and is overly sure that in this realm we shall fail!!!

EXALT, EXTOL, EXULT OUR LORD *GOD* for HIS LOVE endures FOREVER, and HAS MADE A WAY for us! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, and REJOICE IN HIS POWERFUL CARE of us! NOTHING IS more imperative than to COME and RECEIVE HIM!!!
