HEAVENLY INCLINED...: UNACCEPTABLE STATE OF EXISTENCE...

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...

UNACCEPTABLE STATE OF EXISTENCE...

*GOD* IS GOOD; to HIM BE ALL GLORY, and may we HONOUR HIM---

I have been very ill for about 5 days now, and every time I think I am better, I am reminded, not so fast! It's been awhile, so, I guess the immune system needed it, but I am miserable, indeed...

More than being physically sick, I am also suffering from the outrageous amount of hatred which is spewing in this world; like an active volcano, it is flowing with intensity, more, more, and more, which WILL HARM US ALL eventually...

ACCORDING TO *GOD*, IN *GOD*, BY *GOD*, and THROUGH *GOD* there ARE matters which ARE UNACCEPTABLE, which MOST of ARE rooted in OPPOSITION TO LOVE, and WHAT IS *GODLY*, and the date does NOT change THE TRUTH whatsoever, save for to REITERATE ITSELF via what works against it!!!

Hate IS UNACCEPTABLE in MOST contexts; it IS a disease of the worst kind, and DOES overtake those who allow it into their systems, and WILL seethe, and churn, taking over the whole of a being, IF ignored, and fostered. The ONLY CURE for hate IS LOVE, which is NOT easy to come by when hate has taken root, but MUST be found, and embraced IN ORDER to rid of the endless negativity which is found in hatred...

ANYONE who hates works AGAINST LOVE, and *GOD*, for *GOD* IS LOVE, and LOVE IS HIS WILL ALIVE! Those who hate ARE existing in SELF, which IS enmity with *GOD*, and opens the door to the pits of negatives which AIM to destroy; not only others, but eventually, the hater!!!

UNACCEPTABLE IS the desire to see another suffer, to be harmed, to be killed, and on it goes! UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE we WERE CREATED IN LOVE, FOR LOVE! AND BECAUSE WE HAVE POWER TO snuff out hate, and all associated with it; it is a matter of CONSCIENTIOUS CHOICE which we HAVE every second of every minute of every hour we journey this valley of the shadow of death! The evil ruler HAS infiltrated FAR TOO many, and so hatred, and it's components HAVE increased, but NOW are at a point of treacherous proportions!!!

My beautiful country which has ever been a symbol for freedom, for LOVE, for many good things, HAS been tainted badly BY the ugly face, and reach of hatred in the past few years, or decade, and it is SO bad that even little Children are being TAUGHT about it in Schools, the home, and elsewhere, which means, the future is VERY disturbing from this vantage point, and is about to get much worse, UNLESS we SEE THE TRUTH, and REBUKE what is happening NOW!!!

UNACCEPTABLE IS the idea that MUCH of the current trend of hatred IS political, and which ALSO, WORKS AGAINST what is *GODLY*, for HE TEACHES us TO BE subject to Governing authorities (ROMANS 13)! There are about 45 BIBLE references to OBEYING AUTHORITY, EACH of which AIDS us IN co-existing IN this TEMPORAL world AS CITIZENS of HEAVEN; in other words ALIGNED TO TRUTH, LOVE, and *GOD*!!!

UNACCEPTABLE IS that Adults who lead ARE ALLOWING the hate to increase, and NOT putting it into HONEST perspective, for the short, or long run! People OFTEN, are NOT well-versed IN the DANGERS of their behaviours, actions, or reactions, INSTEAD, they follow others, void of REAL understanding, as they consider that IF SO many others ARE doing whatever, it MUST be acceptable; NOT! A person who LEADS OUGHT TO LEAD ARIGHT, BY EXAMPLE, FOR THE OVERALL GOOD, AND CONTINUANCE OF A WHOLESOME EXISTENCE FOR ALL WHILE IN THIS REALM! But today, leaders ARE often, the instigators, and schemers of hatred, and of wrong-minded ways!!!

Rashness, animosity, bitterness, antagonism, anger, hostility, violence, and on it goes IS springing forth from the volcanic flow of hatred, and IS AFFECTING OUR WAY OF LIFE, and IS GOING TO GET MUCH WORSE, IF those who KNOW LOVE, and IT'S POWERS DON'T BEGIN to SHOW, and to TEACH THE WAY, THIS MINUTE! AND WE MUST PRAY LIKE WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO BEFORE, don't you know?!!!

IF you want to know what LOVE is, IMAGINE what the world would look like, right now, opposite of what we are witnessing; it is a start to understanding! INSTEAD of fear, and all the other bad effects of the world, IMAGINE the opposite, and KNOW that THIS IS HOW IT WAS MEANT TO BE! INSTEAD of feeling helpless, lost, confused, and afraid, STEP INTO LOVE, and USE IT TO AID the world, but ONLY IN THE NAME OF *GOD*, and GOODNESS!!!

I have had it with the insanity, but rather than join it, I WILL battle it WITH *GOD*, WITH LOVE, and WITH HIS MIGHTY POWERS! IT MUST BE THAT THOSE WHO KNOW, DO SO, otherwise we ARE contributing to the downfall of the people of this world, and their very souls! NOT ONLY THAT BUT WE KNOW THAT LOVE WILL TURN IT AROUND, at least enough for SOME to be rid of the shackles which hate HAS imprisoned, and diseased them with!!!

UNACCEPTABLE IS COMPLACENCY, and OVERLOOKING the perilous condition the people HAVE constituted IN their wrong-mindedness!!!

*GOD* HELP US, and let us HELP HIM BY HELPING OTHERS! LORD HAVE MERCY, TRULY, they know NOT what they do!!!
