A Thanksgiving That Runs Deep!

I have to admit, I love Thanksgiving Day because my favorite meal on this earth is Turkey Dinner! This morning the Lord asked me this: What am I most thankful for? When asked that question my first surface thoughts of course, go to my husband, my children and my grandchildren. Selah!

†As I go deeper beyond the surface thoughts, I realize that I am deeply, deeply grateful for the Cross of Calvary. You may think that is an odd thing to be thankful for! I am a very image driven person. Images refresh my memory constantly of things my heart, spirit and soul need to be reminded of. I have a picture hanging in my house of a Christ Fellowship Life Group that greatly encouraged my life. This picture reminds me to pray for them, to encourage them and it refreshes my memories of the value of relationship! So images really affect me in my walk with God! So yes, today I am thankful for the cross, an image that deeply encourages my soul in the memory of all it stands for in my life! †

†The Cross is an evidence of a timeless reality, a focal point of the heavenly hindsight" of God's Mercy that always brings hope and thanksgiving into my every day. †

Thanksgiving That Runs Deep!

†A Cross in any shape size or form will always represent for me my salvation, the changing of my destiny from death to life! The cross depicts the very reason I have a relationship with the Father God today and I am deeply thankful for my personal relationship with the One True Living God! Oh what a blessing that relationship is to me and the cross reminds me of the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ so that I might have the freedom of a relationship with God The Father! The Cross paints a picture of me, a life destiny changed, a paid forward life with an extended future further than this moment, this day, this year, this generation or this world! I am living onward in Christ Jesus… into forever. From Life To Life! Yes, this is why this Thanksgiving week, I am completely grateful, thankful and humbled at the foot of the cross and I know you are right there with me! Thank You Jesus, Thank You For The Cross! †

†Every time I see a cross, I am reminded of God's Mercy of yester year that bought for me the peace, stability and hope that is in my today as I walk in the Presence of God Almighty! I am thankful today that the Cross symbolizes a change from the path of life that was leading me to death! This Thanksgiving, I stand in the shadow of The Cross that stands positioned, anchored in the Grace of God as a life-marker at the intersection of my salvation! The Cross stands forever imprinted as an image on my soul, as Jesus sealed my spirit in life February 14^th, 1974! My heavenly hindsight began that day and casts my gaze upon this cross as each day dawns to remind me of the choice I need to make! I choose a legacy of life, being a dedicated life completely surrendered to Jesus Christ, His Way, His Truth and His Will. It was His Holy Spirit, Who met me at the crossroad of death and life and gave me a fresh new way for my feet to walk, a new message of good news for my life to talk up and replicate! Jesus set a new course of hope for me that auto-pilots me into a good future from life to life! As I carry His cross as an image that has been forever burned into my pliable heart, I am deeply thankful! †

Thanksgiving That Runs Deep!

†How thankful I am for the Cross of Jesus Christ! God has taught me to see His Cross in all things in my life. One day, I walked into our church renovation project only to find a scene of vandalism, where windows had been broken out and there was debris everywhere from the violent attack on our facilities and God showed me the image of His Cross in the middle of all the havoc! He does that for me in every situation I face In life, I can see His Cross, I can see His mercy and I can see His Unconditional love! I am so deeply thankful today, that the Cross and the timeless hope that it represents is in our all; its message of mercy and new beginnings is weaved throughout our everything! I am so grateful it changed my destiny from the dictates of sin and uprooted me from the love of this world! The Cross has translated me into The Kingdom of God and filled me with all the passions, intents and love of the Lord of this Kingdom of Heaven! I am of this world, but not one of its citizens, therefore I am God's Ambassador in my life here! Jesus has written my Name in the census book of heaven, therefore I cling to the Cross of Calvary, to Jesus and I dig my roots deeper into His Kingdom with each passing moment on this earth! I know Whose I am, I know Whose purposes I represent and I know my future is awesome! My Thanksgiving Runs Deep! †

† I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE CROSS!

MY TRUE LIFE BEGAN AT THE CROSS OF CALVARY.

THANK YOU JESUS! Thank You That Your Mercy Said No,

To My Eternal Demise And Gave Me A Future And A Hope!

Sin Demanded Justice For My Soul, But Mercy Said No!

Mercy Said No!

Thanksgiving That Runs Deep!

†Lord, You asked, and I answered! Yes and Amen Lord Jesus, You are Who I am deeply thankful for and Your Cross is an image that is forever engraved in my heart, a constant reminder of my common denominator as I serve this world, yet belong to another Kingdom that is greater! Thank You Jesus! I am so grateful and humbled in the Presence of Almighty God because of You. You, Lord Jesus are so worthy of my praise and I dedicate this season of Thanksgiving unto You! My Thanksgiving thoughts run deep from the surface of worldly stuff to the heavenly hindsight of the Cross of my salvation! Jesus! Thank You!

PS………

Galatians 6:14

I never want to brag about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through that cross the ways of the world have been crucified as far as I am concerned. And I have been crucified as far as the ways of the world are concerned.

Jesus Is Simply Enough!

It Is Not Hard To "BE" A Christian,

It Is Very Hard To "do" Christianity!

JESUS IS SIMPLY ENOUGH!

Be Found In Him…

Be Found In Him: Heart-To-Heart = Spirit-To-Spirit!

I got up this morning and as usual, I drop to my knees the minute my feet hit the floor and I make that all important "life connection" with my God. He infuses me with His Holy Spirit and refreshes my life at the beginning of every single day. I love the feeling of getting up off my knees and being connected to Jesus… Heart-to-Heart=Spirit-To-Spirit! Jesus Is Simply Enough!

Romans 12:1-2

I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.

Be Found In Him: No Personal Expectations!

Completely Surrendered In Will, Soul, Heart, Mind And Spirit!

I have learned as I have grown through my relationship with God, I am to have no expectations that box me in and keep me from reaching further than my natural abilities. I try hard each day to put all my earthly expectations into the hands of my Heavenly Father. I know that they are safe there and that He will take them, transform them and give them back to me as His rendition of heavenly hindsight! I love that about my Father God! He does things so much better than I do, so I don't waste much time with my expectations anymore, I hope bigger In HIM and what He can do! He always far outweighs any of my earthly wishes, viewpoints and opinions! Therefore, at the end of the day my success is rated by how much I left out in His Harvest Field and my goal is to leave it all out there! Jesus Is Simply Enough!

Psalm 62:5-6

My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. 6He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Be Found In Him: Working His Kingdom Trade

Out On The Life Path He Has 4 You, 4 A Day Such As This One!

When I make my personal dedication of my life to God each morning, something supernatural happens in me, something I can't manifest on my own! I know I am totally flawed in some areas of my life, yet there is something about that divine anointing hitting a human being that translates weak imperfection into God's strong imperfection. I am not sure how that exactly looks, but I have seen it play out in my life time and time again and it is always good! I know I just don't measure up at times, even with such an amazing God anointing on my life; I still make some bad choices in speech, actions and deeds at sporadic intervals, and it is usually because of my impulsive nature! But God does not give up on me! God forgives and forgets and He keeps filling me with His Holy Spirit, anointing the Kingdom Trade He has given me with His excellence as I work out my salvation and long to be found in Him moment to moment of my day! Jesus Is Simply Enough!

Philippians 1:6

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

Be Found In Him: Blossom Where He Plants You Today!

I freely am used by God and I have learned to give without any strings of expectation attached. I know that I will bloom in the day at hand, exactly where God has planted me and I will blossom in His divine purpose through the Kingdom Trade He specifically designed for me! Jesus Is Simply Enough!

Hosea 14:5-8

I will be like the dew to Israel, and they will blossom like a lily. Like the cedar trees in Lebanon, their roots will be firm. 6 They will be like spreading branches, like the beautiful olive trees and the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon. 7 The people of Israel will again live under my protection. They will grow like the grain, they will bloom like a vine, and they will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon. 8 Israel, have nothing to do with idols. I, the Lord, am the one who answers your prayers and watches over you. I am like a green pine tree; your blessings come from me."

Be Found In Him: Determined To Activate His Holy Spirit

In Your Life And Through Your Life Today!

It is so amazing to me when I make that divine appointment on my knees each morning before my God, decisively giving Him my life, that He takes me where I am at and makes a difference through my life! I know without a doubt that everything I do that day will matter; in fact I know it will matter Huge because the Light of Christ is an all consuming fire that has been impassioned in me and it will touch all and everything that I come in contact with that day with the HOPE of Jesus! I become His Lighthouse! My life matters and what I do throughout this day today will make a significant difference in the lives of all who come in contact with me! Activated in Christ began on my knees this morning as I made a decisive dedication of me, myself and I to Jesus and wherever I go today, whatever I say today, however I do things today, I carry the anointing and Presence of the God of the Universe in me and it impacts my reality in ways that I can't even begin to imagine. Therefore, what I do today is not just a trade, it becomes a Kingdom Trade! His life is seen in me through each moment of my work, whether I realize it or not… He is! God gifted me in the Kingdom Trade He has given me and not one second of my adventure today is wasted when I have the life of Jesus Christ activated in me and I am being found in Him! Jesus Is Simply Enough!

Philippians 3:10

[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [[a]which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]

Be Found In Him: IT IS NOT HARD TO "BE" A CHRISTIAN,

BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO "DO" CHRISTIANITY!

Each morning, I invest maybe two seconds in His Presence and look at the return I get! You can't beat that!! LOL!! Jesus has become my 1^st Thing! Every day I get up in the morning and the first thing I do is take a knee and bow my heart before God. I make a decisive dedication of my body, soul, will, spirit and mind to Him and I connect to Him Spirit-to Spirit and Heart-to-Heart! This is the best short investment of time I make in that day because it connects me to the truest source of power, creativity, passion, guidance, strength, wisdom, hope, joy, peace and love available to all mankind! Therefore, all I have to do from that moment on is be found in Jesus and go ("grow") about His business of that day and He does the rest. I have found that it is not hard to be a Christian, it is hard to do Christianity! Jesus Is Simply Enough!

Philippians 3:8

Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One), 9And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, (I have found that it is not hard to "be" a Christian, it is hard to do Christianity! Learned by Kimberly McCarthy from this passage of scripture) not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.

Be Found In Him: Stop Talking! Stop Trying To Reason Things Out!

Depend On Him! Yield Your Will! Give God The Final Say!

I so encourage you today to get into a good habit each day of sliding out of bed and as soon as your feet hit the floor, buckle at the knees and drop before God Almighty and give Him 2 seconds!! God Bless You Much! I leave you with one final thought… Yes as in all things… God has the final word:

Colossians 3:16-17

Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts. 17And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

Dig Deeper…….Live Deeper In Christ…."BE"! Just Do It!!

Colossians 3:15-17

Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.

Most Wanted!

My Most Wanted List!

1 John 5:13-15

My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God's Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he's listening. And if we're confident that he's listening, we know that what we've asked for is as good as ours.

"If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer: Intercession is a way of loving others."

Quote By: Richard J. Foster

What I want the most in life is for God to touch those Who don't know Him and reveal Himself to them and save them out of their walk towards death; creating a U-Turn in their life-path towards Jesus; Who is the right way, the only truth and wholly our eternal life! I really believe that as a church, or more strongly put, as the Bride of Jesus Christ, that we should be a reflection of the passions of The Father God's heart. One of those heart intents of Jesus is that all should know Him and walk in a daily personal relationship with Him… Heart-to-Heart! Therefore, it is my passion too. Salvation! I hope it, pray it and live it! So I encourage you today to Pray for the salvation of others, pray with all your heart that they might come to know the One True Father God, His Son Jesus And His Mighty Spirit! YES! AMEN!

"Salvation may be described as the blind receiving sight, the deaf receiving hearing, the dead receiving life; but we have not only received these blessings, we have received CHRIST JESUS Himself. It is true that He gave us life from the dead. He gave us pardon of sin; He gave us imputed righteousness. These are all precious things, but we are not content with them; we have received Christ Himself. The Son of God has been poured into us, and we have received Him, and appropriated Him. What a heartful Jesus must be, for heaven itself cannot contain Him!"

Quote By Charles Haddon Spurgeon The Spurgeon Archive

I know that I won't do anything that I have not scheduled or made a place for in my daily time allotment, because that is just the way I am. I am a very scheduled person by necessity because I am easily destracted and the discipline to use my time wisely comes from the guidance of the Holy Spirit in me. I earnestly follow after His lead, therefore my schedule is at His Whim and I usually accomplish much in My Kingdom Trade! One of the things that the Holy Spirit has led me to do is to pray for the lost on Wednesdays. Thus and so, I created a list that I call my MWL in short, and in the long of it: Most Wanted List. It is a reflection of my most wanted heart desires and that is salvation for others, especially those in my life path that I have had divine appointments with that do not know Jesus! Praying for salvation to me is seeing by faith, God's life cord thrown out to someone drowning in a dark sea, because they exchanged a truth for a lie and ended up outside the life-boat, treading aimlessly in rough waters!

"Here is a cord of love let down, and the upper end of it is fastened to Christ's heart, and the lower end of it hanging down the length of your hearts. And, O! shall not Christ's heart and yours be knit together this day. Here is a cord to bind His heart to your heart, and your heart to His heart".

Quote By Ralph Erskine

It is my hope that Jesus will change the destiny (from death to forever life) of those on my Most Wanted List and I believe this is so as I pray for them! So I encourage you, those of you who are a part of the Church, His Bride to be… The Bride of Christ, to do whatever it takes to be praying, living and walking in Christ; especially passionately seeking salvation for those whose names have ended up, by Christ's design, on your Most Wanted List. You write them on your MWL as God pens them on your heart to be prayed for earnestly and lived for intentionally! I dare you to be found in Jesus, being a tool of salvation in the Hand of The Father God, through the power of His Holy Spirit! Yes, I encourage you today in the Spirit of God, to start your own Most Wanted List and join me Wednesday, praying for the lost and HOPING BIG in God… for their Salvation draws nigh! Jesus! Come Lord Jesus!

"Those who have left the deepest impression on this sin-cursed earth have been men and women of prayer".

Quote By: Dwight L Moody

Most Wanted List………………………..Acts 2:36--John 17:3 (HCSB) This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent —Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 45:18

God, Creator of the heavens— he is, remember, God. Maker of earth—he put it on its foundations, built it from scratch. He didn't go to all that trouble to just leave it empty, nothing in it. He made it to be lived in. This God says: "I am God, the one and only. I don't just talk to myself or mumble under my breath. I never told Jacob, 'Seek me in emptiness, in dark nothingness.' I am God. I work out in the open, saying what's right, setting things right. So gather around, come on in, all you refugees and castoffs. They don't seem to know much, do they— those who carry around their no-god blocks of wood, praying for help to a dead stick? So tell me what you think. Look at the evidence. Put your heads together. Make your case. Who told you, and a long time ago, what's going on here? Who made sense of things for you? Wasn't I the one? God? It had to be me. I'm the only God there is— The only God who does things right and knows how to help. So turn to me and be helped—saved!—everyone, whoever and wherever you are. I am God, the only God there is, the one and only. I promise in my own name: Every word out of my mouth does what it says. I never take back what I say. Everyone is going to end up kneeling before me. Everyone is going to end up saying of me, 'Yes! Salvation and strength are in God!'"

"Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!"

Quote By: John Bunyan

©I Pray, I Place My Hope In You!!! ©

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled. and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.

Father God, I pray for those on my MWL! You created them to live unto Life! I pray that You, Holy Spirit will make Your case to them, in Your way by Your Spirit! So Be It!
Father God, draw those on my MWL to You… Holy Spirit speak to them, call them forth to: "gather around and come on into the Presence of God!" Jesus!
Father God may the evidence of Your Life, Your Will and Your Truth be presented this day to each one of those on my MWL! So Be It! Jesus! May they put down all the rationalizations of their head knowledge and may their hearts realize the true and miraculous sense of Your Life available to them! Jesus! So be It.
Father God I pray for those on my MWL that they would turn to You, that they would look to You for help and deeply realize and know Who You are; the Promise of Your Name, the Omnipresence of Your Life, The Purpose of Your Righteousness and the Joy of Your Salvation.
Jesus, I cry out to You on behalf of these lives and HOPE HUGE that they will end up saying of you: Yes! Salvation and Strength Are In God and God Alone… The One and Only! Jesus! Make it so Lord Jesus! AMEN!!

Salvation Is Here! So Be It In The Lives Of Those On My Most Wanted List! Save The Day! Jesus!

Jesus Christ My FIRST Choice!

Today I woke up disappointed and tired, yet the SON is up as a new day has dawned and My God Who is always faithful to bring forth a new day out of every long night, is the FIRST Presence I seek and the pose I am found in is humbly at His Feet. Yes, it is a new day and I WILL position myself in His Grace! I WILL hope in Jesus and I WILL believe that God's revealed purpose of yesterday will be for His best on earth for us today, as it has been foreseen in heaven! Our God reigns and His purpose has been set forth yesterday and begun to be worked out today in each one of us, as His ultimate good will be revealed through us. Despite my disappointment in not getting what I wanted, JESUS IS FIRST and truly all I need! I take hope in this as I face changes in this nation through the eyes of His Hope!

As I opened my Facebook this morning, I found a message from a Christian friend whom I recently agreed to disagree with, as she is a Democrat for Obama and I am a Republican for McCain, yet we worked out our relationship during this election through our Common Denominator of Jesus Christ, that always and forever unifies us for all eternity! This morning she wrote me this:

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"I am thrilled to be able to see Dr. King's dream come to fruition with this election. I know most of you on this thread were McCain supporters - but this Democrat (me!) is thrilled at the outcome. As a Christian, I am hoping that the conservative faction will come behind our new President - God Bless President Barack Obama!"

In response to her Facebook message this morning, I set my heart towards God as He is my FIRST response in my all and all and I write this from my heart after God:

As a Christian, I am NOT part of a "conservative faction", but wholeheartedly Jesus Christ's in spirit and in truth. He is wholly Who I am! As a Christian, I humbly wear His name and undivided in heart, serve Him and Him Alone! Every day I get up and dedicate my life to Him and I wholly walk in His truth, not rationalizing it but believing it as He has written it on my heart, respecting it in whole and acting upon God's principles within it… Spirit and Truth that HAVE made this nation great by HIS FAVOR! JESUS FIRST!

The dream of Martin Luther King's originated with God Almighty Who breathed His breathe into mankind His Life, His Personality, His Purposes with the full intent of equality and it is Almighty God as the common denominator of this nation that unifies us now. God has a purpose in all things and His ways are not our ways. As a Christian, I bow before Him today and I vow once again to diligently serve His purposes, to work for His Kingdom and to live in the Grace of such a God as this. JESUS IS MY FIRST CHOICE! He has my full respect, whether I understand Him in all things or not, I believe in Him and respect Him wholeheartedly. Yes, I believe in God's authority on this earth and I am behind Him FIRST! My heart belongs to God Almighty 100 percent and it is my belief and hope that He uses all things to bring about His purpose in all of us. My hope rests on Him because I know He is submitted to me 100 percent of His Life and gave His Only Son so that I might live. God respected me wholeheartedly therefore, I do Him. JESUS IS MY FIRST CHOICE! He is my Advocate, my best friend, my only hope and the truest thing there is on this earth. I am 100 percent behind HIM FIRST!

As for the respect and loyalty to the United States of America and the office of President, these things do not change for me with the change of Presidents ever four years! I am a very patriotic American, whose allegiance is for this great nation and whoever holds this office! I have respected this honorable office of President of the United States and fervently prayed for each person who has held this position as I follow after Jesus Christ and His truth; hoping and believing for His Kingdom to come in all of us!

I am not deeply rooted here on this earth! This is not my home. I set my sights on the Kingdom of God FIRST, the promise made to me that will be kept by Jesus Christ, that I have a true future and I live walking in the Light of this eternal hope.

I believe God is in control of all...therefore I say: God Bless America. This is a new day in America, yet my common denominator is not new; I changed my denominator February 14th 1975 from myself to Jesus Christ and from this earth to His Kingdom and, His authority and my honor in my today, remains the same! JESUS IS MY FIRST CHOICE! I am behind JESUS FIRST and HIM alone, nothing changes this. As His Christian, I wear His Name and I am positioned under His Authority! I choose JESUS FIRST and I am His Living Legacy on this earth and He is my Provision, Peace and Protection as I rest in His Presence!

Today I wholeheartedly submit to Him in prayer: Jesus, bless our outgoing President and his family and bless our incoming President and his family by Your Spirit, Favor and Power and may Your Truth be the foundation of their lives. I pray You, Holy Spirit, would cause this country to be united by the Greatest Authority ever, Jesus Christ the One Who gave us HIS all! Jesus, You can be trusted to carry out Your promises and You are the faithful Common Denominator of this great country; You are always with us and will never change in purpose and heart towards us! As Your "living legacy" here on earth, I submit to Your will and know that Your good purposes will be done as they have been foreseen by You in heaven. AMEN! JESUS FIRST!

PS… Jesus may Your Truth always be the "ring" of our liberty and the course of our freedom. So be it! AMEN!

I hope and pray that we the people of this great nation would turn our hearts towards the One True God, His Son Jesus and His Holy Spirit! YES AND AMEN! JESUS FIRST!

*My Prayer-HIS-THOUGHTS: KimberlyMac-Glowing In His Glory! Always-4Ever! Glow It!*

Jesus, as for the outcome of this election, we put our hope in You and You Alone! We ask that Your Kingdom purposes, those that You are working out in the unseen for our ultimate good, will come to Light in our reality this day and be seen as a heavenly hindsight, a miraculous mercy to be remembered always! Help us Holy Spirit as a Nation to find in the revelation of this day, a stairway to heavenly hope, leading us to a "completely" that causes us to be positioned at the center of Your Will for us; undivided in heart and wholly aligned in Your Purpose! Jesus First! I pray that this nation would put You, Almighty God, first and our hearts would be exclusively Yours as the Spirit of all Americans say today: Yes and Amen to You! Jesus! Jesus First!

November 4^th, 2008…. YES AND AMEN LORD JESUS!

Selah …pause, and calmly think of this:

Jesus has also been accused of being ineffective, in a political sense, and of having done little to right social injustices. But it is clear from the Sermon on the Mount that he was deeply concerned that his disciples should be both the "salt" and the "light" of secular society; he endorsed the authority of those Old Testament prophets who vehemently rebuked social injustice; and he consistently identified himself with the poor and weak, with social outcasts and those who were regarded as morally disreputable...It is true that he did not lead a rebellion against Rome, seek to free slaves, or introduce a social revolution. He had come for a particular purpose, which was far more important than any of these things - and from that purpose nothing could or did deflect him.

YES AND AMEN LORD JESUS

TO YOUR PURPOSE THAT WILL BE REVEALED

YES AND AMEN!

Selah …[pause, and calmly think of this]!

Jeremiah 24:6-8

My eyes will watch over them. I will be good to them. And I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up. I will not tear them down. I will plant them. I will not pull them up by the roots. 7 " 'I will change their hearts. Then they will know that I am the Lord. They will be my people. And I will be their God. They will return to me with all their heart.

YES AND AMEN! JESUS FIRST!

Dig Deeper…. Dig Deeper….Dig Deeper….Just Do It!!

Our Almighty God Is Sovereign, Omnipresent and Almighty! He Can Do Anything, Even Turn The Hearts Of Kings! Always Remember He Is Mighty To Save! Be Found In Him! Jesus First! YES AND AMEN!

Whatever! Whatever He Is Doing, I Am Being Found In It! Phil 3:9-14!

Ezra 6:21-22

Then the children of Israel who had returned from the captivity ate together with all who had separated themselves from the filth of the nations of the land in order to seek the LORD God of Israel. 22 And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for the LORD made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

What… Can He Do? Phil.4:8

Ezra 6:8-12

I hereby issue a decree concerning what you must do, so that the elders of the Jews can rebuild this house of God: The cost is to be paid in full to these men out of the royal revenues (A) from the taxes of the region west of the Euphrates River, so that the [work] will not stop. 9 Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, or wheat, salt, wine, and oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem—let it be given to them every day without fail, (B) 10 so that they can offer sacrifices of pleasing aroma to the God of heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons. (C) 11 I also issue a decree concerning any man who interferes with this directive: Let a beam be torn from his house and raised up; he will be impaled on it, and his house will be made into a garbage dump because of this [offense]. (D) 12 May the God who caused His name to dwell there (E) overthrow any king or people who dares [a] to harm or interfere with this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued the decree. Let it be carried out diligently.

Therefore, in the wisdom and encouragement from above that Jesus gives us, His Servant Warriors, I say with great courage and confidence in Him whatever the outcome of this election today, it is well with my soul as Your Will is done and Your Perfect Kingdom is coming on earth as it is in heaven!"

Yes And Amen! Jesus First!
