HEAVENLY INCLINED...: ONE SOURCE FOR ALL WE NEED!!!

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...

ONE SOURCE FOR ALL WE NEED!!!

ALL solutions, answers, and neutralizers are preeminently, and permanently found in THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, and in LOVE! *GOD* LOVES humanity FAR more than we can fathom, or understand, but we imagine that the world holds the LOVE we seek, and so, we have ignored THE most optimizing LOVE ever---

In which case, we struggle, suffer, and shoulder with endless woes and troubles...

THE LIGHT IS SHINING, regardless that the world IS going darker, and IS furthering itself from *GOD*, LOVE, and TRUTH! THIS IS the time for HIS lesser lights; HIS people, THE CHURCH, to REFLECT HIM, and to deliver TRUTH to the lost, because if only one TURNS TO HIM, it IS worthwhile...

In this temporal, fleeting world, many virtues, morals, and sound reasoning are diminishing along with it! People ARE more self-inclined, proud, haughty, arrogant, colder, bolder, and on the list of negatives go, YET THERE IS HOPE, and HIS NAME IS CHRIST JESUS, and so, HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE work TO BE DONE, for the sake of souls, and HIS GLORY...

Time IS relevant, and OF essence; we just DON'T know when our time, or the time allotted for the world is up! NOW IS all we have, and if we drag our feet, and hang our hands, and mute our voices, we are wasting opportunities TO bring more INTO THE KINGDOM, where PEACE, JOY, and LOVE SHALL reign FOREVERMORE!!!

Exist IN HIM, and SHOW the world HIS GLORY! ALLOW HIM to be revealed in all you say and do, void of forcing HIM upon others, instead, by example revealing HIM!!!

Yah, the days ARE here when HIS people OUGHT TO SHINE! As opposed to being wrapped up in the sorrows of the day, we should be BRINGING TO LIGHT, THE GOOD which IS derived OF HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAY, HIS WORD, HIS PLAN! The more the world refuses HIM, the more they NEED to be informed!!!

PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY endlessly! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, REJOICE IN HIS LOVING CARE, and HONOUR HIM BY BEING A BLESSING OF LIGHT IN THE dark, darkening world!!!
