PSALM 15:1-5 Citizen: Not Shaken...or Stirred

Greetings Citizens...of heaven that is.

"O Lord, who may abide/sojourn in thy tent? Who may dwell on Thy holy hill? He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart. He does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor. Nor takes up a reproach against his friend; Nor takes up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; He swears to his own hurt, and does not change; He does not put out his money at interest, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN." (Psalm 15:1-5)

In my Bible...the heading of this Psalm is: Description of a Citizen of Zion...A Psalm of David.

There are two questions about this citizenship: (1) Who may abide/dwell/sojourn in Thy tent?
(2) Who may dwell on Thy holy hill?

The cause and effect of the actions of doing the things that a citizen of Zion does is..."he who does these things...WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN."

Here is the checklist for citizenship:

1. Walk with integrity
2. Works righteousness
3. Speaks truth in his heart
4. Does not slander with his tongue
5. Does not do evil to his neighbor
6. In his eyes despises reprobate
7. Honors those who fear the Lord
8. Swears to his own hurt
9. Does not change
10.Does not put out his money at interest
11. Does not take a bribe against the innocent

Well that is quiet a checklist no isn't it? Good targets, goals, aspirations to be having...BUT I need HELP...or more than that...I need a HELPER to do these things. Holy Ghost...come help yourself...as I do these things.

Love and Citizenship Kisses
