HEAVENLY INCLINED...: IN THIS HOLY TIME, EMBRACE FULLY THE LOVE WHICH WILLED OUR SAFETY...

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...

IN THIS HOLY TIME, EMBRACE FULLY THE LOVE WHICH WILLED OUR SAFETY...

Humans in this world have always needed Saviours, and *GOD* sent MANY of them, generally called prophets, though the people rebelled against them, and refused to heed their messages from HIM---

HIS PLAN IS to SAVE us from the grips of influence, of evil, of wickedness, and so, on to the most fruitful facet of HIS PLAN, HIS SON, CHRIST JESUS, ULTIMATE SAVIOUR of the world, whom also, was rejected, dissed, scorned, and worse, however, unlike those before HIM, HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR the sake of our souls in such a way that whomever might accept, and receive HIM, shall be freed from those influences which lead humanity astray...

We ARE in DIRE NEED of RIGHTFUL influence; that we exist according to our reality, which means that we were CREATED FOR HIM, and HIS GLORY, NOT for the world, or it's rebellious ruler(s)/effects...

WITHIN EACH of us, exists the core of *GOD*, of good, of LOVE, of what cultivates righteousness, but alas, the world HAS shrouded TRUTH, and HAS deceived us to the point of blindness to the FACTS of our innate wholesomeness! Emotions, and other criteria HAVE ALLOWED us to be fooled, and to become egocentric; more than we know, understand, or acknowledge! The enemy of THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, Satan and his workers of inequity POUNCE upon the slightest flaw in us, and so, we HAVE NEED OF A MIGHTY SAVIOUR to, not only SAVE us, but to teach us, guide us, and protect us! WITHOUT HIM, we are nothing, and like all else on this Earth, will perish! WITH HIM, we FIND LIFE ETERNAL, and IN that LIFE, riches, bounties, and wonders such as the world can NEVER know...

We MUST know the WHOLE of the incredible works of *GOD*; from the rebellion in HEAVEN, by the evil angels, all the way through to the return of THE LORD, and HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM! We MUST understand HOW influence DOES affect us to the point of err, and IF continued, consciously, to death eternal! Now, death eternal is NOT death as with the body; instead it is death TO THE KINGDOM, BUT eternal suffering! THE SOUL IS FOREVER, no matter WHERE it is AFTER HIS JUDGEMENT DAY! While we WILL be different than now, we WILL KNOW WHERE we are, thus, GREAT CARE SHOULD be given to the reality of our existence, the soul!!!

NOW IS THE DAY to consider TRUTH, and to GIVE THANKS FOR THE LORD *GOD*, and HIS PLAN to SAVE those whom RECEIVE HIM! We were NOT CREATED FOR the world, and it's ways; WE WERE CREATED FOR THE LORD *GOD*, AND HIS WILL; TO PRAISE HIM, TO WORSHIP HIM, TO SERVE HIM, FOREVERMORE! HE IS *GOD*, HE IS SOVEREIGN LORD OVER ALL, HE IS KING OF KINGS, HE IS THE GIVER, AND TAKER OF LIFE, AND HE IS WORTHY OF OUR LOVE!!!

A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT on a cool night, when CHRIST JESUS was born FOR THE ABSOLUTE GOOD OF Mankind! A GLORIOUS, death defeating mission to SAVE us FROM ourselves, and the evil of this realm! It IS to BE REVERED, PONDERED, REGARDED, APPRECIATED, AND TAKEN TO THE HEART, BECAUSE it IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR the everlasting soul!!!

CHRISTmas time IS HOLY; it IS HIS HOLINESS ALIVE, and WELL, despite the many forces which work against it! We ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HIM, and THE OPTION OF LIFE, when clearly, we are FAR FROM TRUTH! Let us celebrate with OPEN hearts IN LOVE, and PRAISE, and WORSHIP OF THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY! Let us REJOICE, for unto us, a SAVIOUR was born OF LOVE PURELY!!!

GLORY TO THE NEWBORN KING! THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL YOU ARE, and ALL YOU DO! Let EVERYONE, and EVERYTHING IN CREATION EXTOL YOU, and EXALT YOUR HOLINESS! HALLELUJAH! *GOD* IS LOVE, *GOD* IS LIFE, and HE WILLS THAT we spend eternity WITH HIM! EMMANUEL! *GOD* IS WITH us!!!
