HEAVENLY INCLINED...: WHEN THE GEARS ARE LOCKED, THERE IS NO PRODUCTION, HENCE, NO PROGRESS: NOTE TO OUR LEADERS!!!

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...

WHEN THE GEARS ARE LOCKED, THERE IS NO PRODUCTION, HENCE, NO PROGRESS: NOTE TO OUR LEADERS!!!

Ah, the immaturity gets worse, and more evident, as the political machine gears get further jammed by boldness from each component therein, with the purpose to see whom might do the most harm to the other, AND MEANWHILE, VERY little is being done FOR our nation...

Many of us are appalled by the lack of grace, mercy, and adulthood that is in charge of our very existence! It IS amazingly astounding, and absolutely, ridiculous! As I have said for a while, these ARE the DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA, no longer the UNITED STATES, which is worsening with the hour, BECAUSE leaders are stuck in the elementary schools of their minds, and wielding their taunts, bullying, insults, slurs, slander, libel, and much more, as uncontrolled, and unconcerned as can be, AND unfortunately, a large portion of their base is egging this on, and enjoying the entertainment, AS IF!!!

Those elected are like, "WHO cares that we appear as fools to the rest of the world"?, as they HAVE this crazed desire to win the 'fight', which incidentally, CANNOT have a victor, as NO ONE wins when we are torn in half by politics, and loose agendas: there can be NO resolve where there is NO compromise, or dialogue other than infantile impertinence! There can be NO progress when everyone is digressing, and that, at a rapid rate, AS each intends to lay low, the other!!!

People, SERIOUSLY, this HAS to be acknowledged, and dealt with, FOR the OVERALL GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY!!!

He said, she said; bicker, battle, belittle, burden, or whatever, IS getting old, and IS exhausted as far as EFFECTIVENESS goes! TRULY, it IS like watching The Three Stooges, or worse! Aren't you embarrassed in the least? Aren't you THINKING OF THE FUTURE generations whom are taking cues from your insidious blows to your FELLOW peers, and thus, your constituents? Aren't you the least concerned about your behaviours, and that the world IS watching, listening, taking notes, and USING all this against us? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT it means to LEAD???

I URGE you ALL to take a look in the mirror, and LISTEN to yourselves, and to ACKNOWLEDGE your conduct! YOU ARE ON STAGE; the stage of the world, and we ARE supposed to BE a super-POWER of the world! REALLY, just imagine the DANGER you are putting us ALL in, not to mention the LONG, HARD WORK of REGAINING the RESPECT we so long HAD UNTIL YOUR ANTICS!!!

This began a while back, BUT HAS REACHED CRESCENDO, and the music is NOT pleasing, instead, it is agitating IN more ways than one!!!

It is TIME TO GROW UP, and DO what you were 'chosen' TO DO, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, and THE GOOD OF THE USA! WISDOM, AND SELF-CONTROL LEAD in their own right, and SHOW THE TRUE LEADERS!!!

I PRAY for you, for our people, and for our PROGRESS, and I HOPE you WILL RECOGNIZE that those whom SHARE your responsibilities to LEAD this country, are NOT your enemies, or at least they WOULDN'T be IF you would STOP labeling them as so, and resisting anyone who differs from your stance, and views! MAN UP, WOMAN UP and SHOW the world WHAT WE ARE MADE OF; it IS now, or never, and DON'T be foolish enough to fantasize that, DESPITE this nasty display, and discord, we will forever remain as a beacon for the world!!!

May *GOD* BLESS and BE WITH US ALL, but mostly, may WE BLESS HIM BY BEING TRUE TO HIM, HIS WILL, and HIS WAYS, IN LOVE, REGARD, RESPECT, FORBEARING, and ALL which IS right, just, and good!!!
