Monday, Monday September 21st, I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy am destined to live in the glory of Your strength and not worry or fear anything, because all things belong to You. I will turn to You in prayer in all the circumstances and situations of my day.

2 Samuel 22:21-25

God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I cleaned up my act, he gave me a fresh start. Indeed, I've kept alert to God's ways; I haven't taken God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT -- http://www.heartlight.org/

--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

September 21, 2009

VERSE:

[Jesus said] "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the

one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I

too will love him and show myself to him."

-- John 14:21

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=John+14:21

THOUGHT:

Love is much more than a feeling or an attitude: love is an

action. When we love, we show it by our deeds. As disciples of

Jesus, our love is shown by our obedience to the things Jesus

taught. Of course, that obedience brings an incredible blessing --

Jesus reveals himself to those who obey him!

PRAYER:

Dear LORD, my Abba Father, please forgive me for my sins.

Empower me to resist the Evil One. Help me find delight in obeying

the teaching of my Lord and Savior, Jesus, in whose blessed name I

ask this. Amen.

The Groomsman's Journal /Bridegroom's Voice/Week:11 Dead Traditions

The Bridegroom speaks about Dead Traditions!

From The Bride:

Excerpt From The Bridegroom's Voice

Jesus, Tradition is stifling me and it is quenching new life in the Body of Christ! What will happen if traditions keep taking precedence over Your Presence? Will we continue to grow, change or even exist as a unified church?

My Bride,

I hear your discontentment and see the anxiety in your soul. The Spirit of God is buried, abandoned beneath dead traditions in many churches, in times such as these. Instead of focusing on My divinity, many in the Body of Christ are allowing traditions to limit My Presence. The demands of a few men are manipulating, dominating and directing the vision of many churches. Church, there is value in the living out of tradition in the Body of Christ, but there must be a greater significance and priority for the Sovereign authority and power of My Spirit to reside in My Church. The vision of My Church must be for the purpose of a renewed inner life, born out of a spontaneous 24/7 relationship in My Presence. The divine character and supernatural existence of The Body of Christ must be transformed-renewed daily, by My Spirit! It is my heart's desire for My Church to grow and to be a personal organism, not a programmatic organization. The very heart-nature of My Gospel is likened to an organism and mirrors the growth and change that comes from being nurtured by its Creator. I AM Lord, The Redeemer of the Body of Christ and My Spirit will rule in the hearts of My chosen! Seek Me and give My Spirit the freedom to be a vital part of the heart-life of your Church. I desire and will be Sovereign in presence and power in the midst of you.

The Groomsman's Journal : Reflecting, Meditating and Responding

I must decrease…He must increase….    

My Thoughts:

DAY ONE – TWO

Colossians 2:6-8

Freedom From Human Rules

You received Christ Jesus as Lord. So keep on living in him. 7 Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before. 8 Make sure no one captures you. They will try to capture you by using false reasoning that has no meaning. Their ideas depend on human teachings. They also depend on the basic things the people of this world believe. They don't depend on Christ.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • The key words that pop out at me from this scripture, and probably by Your Spirit, are: In Him! There is nothing false in Him, stale in Him and in Him all things are continuously new, challenging me to grow, to change to be better in my all and everything!

Jeremiah 2:5-8

The Lord says, "What did your people find wrong with me? Why did they wander so far away from me? They worshiped worthless statues of gods. Then they themselves became worthless. 6 They did not ask, 'Where is the Lord? He brought us up out of Egypt. He led us through a dry and empty land. He guided us through deserts and deep valleys. It was a land of darkness where there wasn't any rain. No one lived or traveled there.' 7 But I brought you into a land that has rich soil. I gave you its fruit and its finest food. In spite of that, you polluted my land. You turned it into something I hate. 8 The priests did not ask, 'Where is the Lord?' Those who taught my law did not know me. The leaders refused to obey me. The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal. They worshiped worthless statues of gods.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • I realize I must guard my heart with God's Word so my thoughts do not wander far from Him, because in Him is my purpose, my true life.
  • When I am in God's Presence, when I am remembering Him in AWE, then I will not fall trap to my enemies devices and get led astray by just doing religion instead of being found in My God- living and growing!
  • Praise! I must daily praise Him and develop my AWE of God through the Heavenly Hindsight of all He has done for me. He is faithful and I must pursue Him, wholeheartedly.

John 4:13-15

Jesus answered, "All who drink this water will be thirsty again. 14 But anyone who drinks the water I give him will never be thirsty. In fact, the water I give him will become a spring of water in him. It will flow up into eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty. And I won't have to keep coming here to get water."

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • It is not my religion that makes people thirsty, it is the life of God in me, the Living Water of God.
  • Lord, I pray that I will always drink from the stream of Your Living Waters, keeping a personal relationship with you. Keeping it real, not religious. Heart to Heart in constant conversation with You. Help me not to be so fond of my traditions, that I forget my true Creator, and stop drinking of Your Living Water.
  • I want my life in pursuit of You, Lord Jesus to make others thirsty for Living Water!

DAY THREE – FOUR

Matthew 15:7-13

"You pretenders! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you. He said, 8 " 'These people honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me. 9 Their worship doesn't mean anything to me. They teach nothing but human rules.' " —(Isaiah 29:13) 10 Jesus called the crowd to him. He said, "Listen and understand. 11 What goes into your mouth does not make you 'unclean.' It's what comes out of your mouth that makes you 'unclean.' " 12 Then the disciples came to him. They asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were angry when they heard this?" 13 Jesus replied, "There are plants that my Father in heaven has not planted. They will be pulled up by the roots.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

OUCH! Sometimes I am a plant that needs to be pulled up by the roots. I am entirely too rooted to this world, its ways of comfort and the broad and easy path.

Religiosity is totally defined in this passage of scripture and it is the gap between saying and being.

Lord, I hope that my calendar and my stuff that I "have to do" is never 1st over my heart relationship with You and what You have called me to "be" in Your Kingdom.

My heart, purify it Lord and plant in it the seeds of the Kingdom of God that will grow with the purity of essence of Your Life. I hope it so Lord Jesus.

There is one Shepherd, it is Jesus, one flock, it is His Bride-His Church. Help us to enter in through His Gate and be in relationship with Him.

John 10: 1-16

John 10: 1-16

The Shepherd and the Flock

"What I'm about to tell you is true. What if someone does not enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in another way? That person is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him. The sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought all of his own sheep out, he goes on ahead of them. His sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger. In fact, they will run away from him. They don't recognize a stranger's voice."

6 Jesus used this story. But the Jews who were there didn't understand what he was telling them. 7 So Jesus said again, "What I'm about to tell you is true. I am like a gate for the sheep. 8 All those who ever came before me were thieves and robbers. But the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I'm like a gate. Anyone who enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out. And he will find plenty of food. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way. 11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. 12 The hired man is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when the hired man sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired man. He does not care about the sheep. 14 "I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. 15 They know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I give my life for the sheep. 16 "I have other sheep that do not belong to this sheep pen. I must bring them in too. They also will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • If I know You better and most Lord Jesus, I will follow you and I won't follow the voice of my enemy to unknown pits of despair.
  • Not only did you give me life, Lord Jesus, You gave it to me in the fullest way possible. I can have a personal relationship with You, I can connect with You moment to moment and be in Your Presence in my all and everything. This is not religion, it is relationship and this is what I desire.
  • You are the gate to true life, to real communion with my Father God. Help me not to lock this gate through my own personal plans, my own daily devotional agenda that keeps out the life of Your Spirit. Be the Lord of my details, that I might submit my whole life to You and not compartmentalize where your Presence is "allowed" by me.

John 15:1-9

The Vine and the Branches

"I am the true vine. My Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit. 3 "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain joined to me, and I will remain joined to you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain joined to the vine. In the same way, you can't bear fruit unless you remain joined to me. 5 "I am the vine. You are the branches. If anyone remains joined to me, and I to him, he will bear a lot of fruit. You can't do anything without me. 6 If anyone does not remain joined to me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and dries up. Branches like those are picked up. They are thrown into the fire and burned. 7 "If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be given to you. 8 When you bear a lot of fruit, it brings glory to my Father. It shows that you are my disciples. 9 "Just as the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Now remain in my love.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

Remain is the key for me. Not letting my traditions, my agenda, my schedule rule my day, but remain in constant conversation with God, so I might hear His voice, receive His nourishment and make the divine appointments He has for me.

Attached to the Vine, is where I want to remain. It is my huge hope to live my life constantly and consistently in relationship with God, being His.

It is easy to follow a mapped out plan, but on the narrow path in relationship with Jesus, the risk of adventure is great. Take A Risk- Be Divinely His!

God's Sovereign Will for us today is not/ nor never short on His Infinite Love- It abounds in it!

DAY FIVE-SIX

Revelation 22: 8-17

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. After I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel. He is the one who had been showing me these things. 9 But he said to me, "Don't do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God's servant, just like the other prophets and all who obey the words of this book. Worship God!" 10 Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy in this book. These things are about to happen. 11 Let those who do wrong keep on doing wrong. Let those who are evil continue to be evil. Let those who do what is right keep on doing what is right. And let those who are holy continue to be holy." 12 "Look! I am coming soon! I bring my rewards with me. I will reward each person for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the First and the Last. I am the Beginning and the End. 14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will have the right to come to the tree of life. They will be allowed to go through the gates into the city. 15 "Outside the city are the dogs and those who practice witchcraft. Outside are also those who commit sexual sins and murder. Those who worship statues of gods, and everyone who loves and does what is false, are outside too. 16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this witness for the churches. I am the Root and the Son of David. I am the bright Morning Star." 17 The Holy Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Let those who hear say, "Come!" Anyone who is thirsty should come. Anyone who wants to take the free gift of the water of life should do so.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • The Water Of Life! Hmmmm! I wonder if my life makes others thirsty for this water.
  • What do I worship? What are the things in my life that are "statues of gods"?
  • Lord Jesus, you are the first and last of my life and you surround me on all sides as I walk in Your Light, Morning Star. Please forgive me for my discontentment, I fear this is my "statue of gods"!
  • You did not ask for preferred service. You were treated the same as everyone else. You never let "your rights" interfere with Kingdom purpose. Make me like You Jesus.

Romans 12:1-2

Living for God

Brothers and sisters, God has shown you his mercy. So I am asking you to offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive. Your bodies are a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. When you offer your bodies to God, you are worshiping him. 2 Don't live any longer the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • Lord, I desire for my thinking to be 100 percent polar opposite from the world and totally inspired by The Kingdom of God.
  • Change my thinking Lord, because it is in my thoughts where I get so tripped up at times by what I want, by my way. Open my mind up to the thoughts of Your Ways, change my thinking to pattern after Your Will.
  • Offering all of myself also means letting go of my discontentment, my frustrations and my will. Traditions do have a source of comfort, everything remains the same and there is no risk. But, You Lord God are always doing something new. Will I know it? Or will my traditions, what I am "used" to and the way I am "used" to doing things keep me from growing and experiencing the God Adventures You have planned for me. Open me up to Your Kingdom purposes. AWE-GOD!

2 Samuel 22:21-25

"The Lord has been good to me because I do what is right. He has rewarded me because I lead a pure life. 22 I have lived the way the Lord wanted me to. I haven't done evil by turning away from my God. 23 I keep all of his laws in mind. I haven't turned away from his commands. 24 He knows that I am without blame. He knows I've kept myself from sinning. 25 The Lord has rewarded me for doing what is right. He has rewarded me because I haven't done anything wrong.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • Lord, I want you to know that I am without blame, I want You to see me that way. Help me to pursue everything about You and less about me.
  • I know to lead a pure life, it has to be all about You, not my religious duty, but maintaining a personal relationship with You that is directed by Your Will, not mine, Your Way, not mine and Your Spirit, Purpose and Passion. This is what I hope huge for today!
  • I want to step out of what I traditionally, comfortably and contentedly do and be willing to know You more, turning away from my doubt, fear and unbelief and turning to fully face You, My Almighty God! So Be It!

DAY SEVEN

Mark 7:1-9

What Makes People "Unclean"?

The Pharisees gathered around Jesus. So did some of the teachers of the law. All of them had come from Jerusalem. 2 They saw some of his disciples eating food with "unclean" hands. That means they were not washed. 3 The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands to make them pure. That's what the elders teach. 4 When they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they wash. And they follow many other teachings. For example, they wash cups, pitchers, and kettles in a special way. 5 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the law questioned Jesus. "Why don't your disciples live by what the elders teach?" they asked. "Why do they eat their food with 'unclean' hands?" 6 He replied, "Isaiah was right. He prophesied about you people who pretend to be good. He said, " 'These people honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me. 7 Their worship doesn't mean anything to me. They teach nothing but human rules.' —(Isaiah 29:13) 8 You have let go of God's commands. And you are holding on to the teachings that men have made up." 9 Jesus then said to them, "You have a fine way of setting aside God's commands! You do this so you can follow your own teachings.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • This is a passage of scripture where I truly hear your heart about dead traditions. It makes me so sad, because I have been there in that place where my worship was not from my heart, where my actions were purely duty and now, I hope never to go back there, to always live for You heart to heart and spirit to spirit! So Be It Jesus!
  • I don't want to live by human rules, I want to live by Kingdom Principle that is alive in me and through me because of the passion stirred up by my knowing You Jesus!

Revelation 7: 13-17

Then one of the elders spoke to me. "Who are these people dressed in white robes?" he asked. "Where did they come from?" 14 I answered, "Sir, you know." He said, "They are the ones who have come out of the time of terrible suffering. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 So "they are in front of the throne of God. They serve him day and night in his temple. The One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. 16 Never again will they be hungry. Never again will they be thirsty. The sun will not beat down on them. The heat of the desert will not harm them. 17 The Lamb, who is at the center of the area around the throne, will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • Sir, they know you! AWE-GOD! I hope huge that one day it will be me that they speak of, that I might truly know You, not know of you in all my religiousity ways, but truly know You, The Lamb Of God!
  • I hope huge to develop my AWE of You Lord and in this to daily be led to Your Presence to partake in the springs of LIVING WATER! Jesus!
    Proverbs 4: 29-24

My son, pay attention to what I say. Listen closely to my words. 21 Don't let them out of your sight. Keep them in your heart. 22 They are life to those who find them. They are health to your whole body. 23 Above everything else, guard your heart. It is where your life comes from. 24 Don't speak with twisted words. Keep evil talk away from your lips.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • If I want to pursue You, pursue what is real and now, then I must keep my attention on You and not what is in the past. You are now. Your life infused in me is now. Your way to travel is now. I pray that I will always stay current, up to date with You, Lord Jesus.
  • Guard my heart! If I have learned anything valuable, this is it. Your Word, Your Presence, Your Precepts guard my heart from everything that will distract me from Your divinity, and my destiny in You for this day!

This very moment today, I hope huge to have only the thoughts of God today, that position me in His Grace and fill me with His spiritual vitality.

Lord, I desire for my thinking to be 100 percent polar opposite from the world and totally inspired by The Kingdom of God.

Worry Is: Taking back from God what is His to work out. Taking control instead of letting be, being still - knowing His Provision

*********************************************************************

\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT -- http://www.heartlight.org/

--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

September 24, 2009

VERSE:

What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous

desire will be granted.

-- Proverbs 10:24

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+10:24

THOUGHT:

The wicked fear the triumph of goodness, holiness, and

righteousness. They fear not being in control. They fear death's

overtaking them. The righteous desire the triumph of goodness,

holiness, and righteousness. They offer their lives to be

controlled by the Holy Spirit of God. They recognize death is an

enemy, but one that has been conquered by their Savior. In times

like these, isn't it comforting to know that the things that the

wicked fear are really things that they can be sure of receiving!

PRAYER:

O LORD God, please bring your justice, mercy, and righteousness

to triumph in the lives of all who seek after you and your will.

Please make my heart more like yours in regard to evil and those

who perpetuate it, and stir in me a deeper passion to lead those to

Christ who do not know you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

You spoke this to me at the TOS class on Tuesday about Worry, how worry was taking things into my hands and trying to control them, instead of letting be, being still and knowing the Provision of My God.

Freedom! It is so sweet to live with liberty and justice for all! Freedom is a fragile thing and must be protected, defended and preserved. http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/author.htm

The Breakfast Table: Tighten Your Belt

When I am challenged, I can be impulsively bent with the intent of defending my honor, reputation and rights! Yet, when my belt of truth is tightened around my soul, I am more likely to inspire than incite, more likely to turn the other cheek instead of slapping back with biting, devouring words. Therefore, every day is a good day to put on your belt of truth! Tighten Your Belt Of Truth Today!

The Family Table: Way Of Truth

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/fmpryr.htm

AWE-GOD! I long for the way of truth for my family! There are so many choices in this world and I feel bombarded by hem at times. Should I go this way-that way-which way? American Families Are "Choiced Out"! You can prove this statement by simply going into the grocery store and trying to pick a cereal out of the 100 or so choices! For my family this day, My heart longs for the simplicity of Your Truth, Lord Jesus! I am hoping huge for Your Way of Truth to be what our families know, what we see, what we respond to and who we are as a family!

"The vision of My Church must be for the purpose of a renewed inner life, born out of a spontaneous 24/7 relationship in My Presence. The divine character and supernatural existence of The Body of Christ must be transformed-renewed daily, by My Spirit! It is my heart's desire for My Church to grow and to be a personal organism, not a programmatic organization. "

Pray For Penny and Walt Mauldin

My friend Penny has pancreatic cancer, she has been fighting a good fight of faith for a very long time-enduring much. Please pray for her and her husband for God's Sovereign Will and that they will know the joy of gladness as they wait in God's Waiting room of Infinite Love! I have written the following exhortation of honor to Penny, I hope you too will write her and encourage her for her faithful stand in Jesus Christ. AWE-GOD!

 

"Every day God gives us is a holy day. We should live it as unto the LORD for His glory. It should give every believer great pleasure to bring glory to the LORD. When we bring joy to the LORD, then we know strength in our soul." Quote By Anonymous

 

2 Corinthians 12:9

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and [a]show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may [b]pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

 

Precious Penny Mauldin!

From the moment I met you and the years we have had together, you have shown me a light of perseverance and a powerful stance in the Grace and Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have faithfully and always held Your Position as the Father God's Daughter. It is an honor, and I am so humbled to call you friend, to be in the life-circle of the Glow of God's Glory in you. His strength, His Life in You is brighter than anything or anyone I have ever encountered in this life. You have encouraged me in ways you can't even begin to imagine or think of and to me, you are a true Champion In Christ. I have never seen anyone suffer in this life as much as you have experienced the physical pain and trials of cancer; yet you, Penny have stood in length through indescribable pain and multiple surgeries, treatments, hospital stays and suffering and continue to stand in complete-love and simple belief and faithful trust in Jesus Christ. From my perspective, I can see the Glow of God's Glory all the way from Tennessee to North Carolina as your life shines so Clearly-Vibrantly of Jesus Christ. You Glow His Glory! Brightly-Like A Tent Of God's Glory Pitched Over You!

Luke 22:39-46

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives. 40 There he told them, "Pray that you will not give in to temptation." 41 He walked away, about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 "Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine." 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. 44 He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.[a] 45 At last he stood up again and returned to the disciples, only to find them asleep, exhausted from grief. 46 "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation."

Penny, I don't "feel" at this point, I can ever wrap my mind around why you have had to suffer so. I also will never fully understand why Jesus, The King Of Heaven came to earth and meekly, (subtlety-yet significantly-purposefully peacefully-powerfully) suffered such a horrible death for us. Couldn't there have been another way? (I would have arrogantly asked that if it was me) My human capacity of mind just doesn't get it, probably never will because I only see in part, and therefore, my soul has settled the question with my trust of God, my belief in His ultimate goodness and this feeds my need to know with the endurance to wait on God. AWE-GOD! All kidding-casualness put aside, I humbly-responsibly-submissively, respect-revere His Sovereign Will – Completely! AWE-GOD! In His human way Jesus divinely, humbly yet meekly did ask The Father God in the Garden Of Gethsemane to take the cup of suffering from Him, (the way of truth-Kingdom Purpose - was the cup of suffering –that contained the sins of the whole world- which were soon to be laid upon Jesus, a suffering that in human standards is indescribable-unimaginable) and yet, in His deepest human-yet divine soul search, when Jesus encountered His Almighty Father God's Presence and came face to face with His Kingdom Purpose, Jesus walked away from His Garden of Gethsemane will-less; willing to give His Life no matter the cost and completely yielded to Kingdom Purpose; fully accepting the wages of our sin for the Redemption of all our lives and for the Love and Glory of His Precious Father God. I have seen this same Spirit-same willingness in You, Penny in your stand for God through all your suffering. AWE-GOD!

Proverbs 3:4-13

Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials n your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people. 5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline; don't sulk under his loving correction. It's the child he loves that God corrects; a father's delight is behind all this.

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

Penny, I hate that you are suffering. I confess that to God and you. You of all people do not deserve it. I don't understand why you have had to suffer excruciating pain without God rescuing you from it, and I submit to you that the Lord has been gracious to my questions, but firm in His resolve that He is working His Kingdom Purpose in the unseen of this human pain and suffering that you are enduring and that I am to silently (Ps 62:5) lean my will, my wants and my limited understanding of Kingdom purpose on Him; and not prop my soul-emotions on what I see and can understand in my limited perspective. He warned me about that early on and I obey Him because He asked me to undergird you in exhortation and encouragement and silently submit to Him. Yet, I do see in You, Penny the exact same, powerfully-duplicated testimony of Jesus Christ's Life in and through you.

Philippians 4:5-12

Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] 6Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [[a]possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not [b]think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped [c]or retained, 7But stripped Himself [of all privileges and [d]rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! 9Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has [e]freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, 10That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee [f]should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11And every tongue [[g]frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, [h]with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

 

Penny, in seeing your long term suffering, the heavenly hindsight I am blessed with is that when His Sovereign Will for us seems more than we can humanly bear, we desperately cling to His Infinite Love, we dig our roots deeper in it and we bear up the suffering unto Jesus; turning from what we want in this world and facing our lives like flint, towards Jesus because our hope is in Kingdom purpose, the Truth of the Almighty Father God working in the unseen for our good and the good of every person at the foot of the cross. Penny, I have watched you walk out this "Way Of Truth" through this terrible human ordeal, and He is still there, Jesus is a bright light of God's purpose shining through you. I love that about you Penny. I admire it so much and I desire to be like the Jesus in you, in God's Spirit and Truth. You are teaching me the value of "gladness" in all things. It is my huge hope for you, that you will continue to "be glad" in Jesus Christ and rest in the joy of His strength. So, don't be sad too long about this last report, I understand you have to grieve, but I also hope huge you save some time to have a joy-party, and celebrate that you have endured, you have stood valiantly through this trial and your spirit is strong and vibrant! It is my huge hope that God will set your soul a dancing and you will run through a troop and leap over a wall and dance joyfully, stomping on the head of your enemy and grinding his lies into the dirt and shaking his dust off your feet in the Glory of the victory of our Almighty God!

John 16:33

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

Amplified Bible (AMP)Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

Penny, You have endured through more disappointment, soul-agony, physical pain than any person that I know on this earth, (only one other, my mom and I honor her too) yet Your anchor of faith has held because you have treasured the Kingdom of God and all the purposes of God being worked out through you, more than you have valued your way and wants. You have walked a narrow path on the Way of Truth and for that, your reward will not be as evident here, as it will be in heaven; as the Father God crowns you with a many faceted jeweled- beautiful, bright and magnificent crown - as your life is to all of us here now, you have crowned us in God's Glory through your suffering, so will your crown be to you in heaven as God honors you at your appointed time. I am sooooo thankful to be given the privilege by our precious Lord to be one of the honored to be a part of your life-path right now. Our lives crossing paths here on this earth in Florida, at Maranatha Church and reconnecting a couple years ago was a divine appointment. What an awe-inspiring woman of God you are. AWE-GOD!  Penny, you have won; you have conquered in this trial as a Champion In Christ,  and you Penny Mauldin will continue to conquer as you faithfully walk "The Way Of  God's Truth"!

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

I know today, after the devastating news that the cancer is back, it looks like you are losing the battle for your physical health. You want to stay here, just like Paul said: "to live is gain to die is gain", but I could tell he did not want to decide between going and staying. JESUS HAS THE FINAL WORD. Thank God He does! You have a beautiful family, blessed with Walt, the boys, their wives, your grandkids and all your family and spiritual family and God knows you could never decide to leave them. I hear the Holy Spirit saying for you to rest! He is saying: Penny, don't get caught up wrestling between the two emotionally charged decisions of staying here or going to heaven, because God has the final say. It is His choice. Do everything to let go of that decision of here or there and rest in Jesus, rest in the day He has given you today, don't allow your heart to be troubled over this choice, be glad that you have overcome every single situation and in each moment you have chosen to continue to stand in God's Life, on His Way Of Truth. Rejoice in this great victory, and don't let the enemy steal your peace over a choice that you don't have to make. Continue to put all your faith- your huge hope in God's Presence - God's AWE-Mazing Kingdom Purpose at work in you and the sweet possibility of His miraculous healing touch here on earth. The final Word is His and it is good!

Isaiah 54:16-17

Behold, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose; and I have created the devastator to destroy. 17But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

Penny, don't let the enemy say to you, "you have lost". That is an incredible lie! Tell him, the father of lies, to shut up! Don't listen to his mocking foolishness, remind him of his future and remind him of your future. You, my precious sister are winning. Never in my life, have I experienced a stronger spirit of God in a human being. Your body may be declining, may be losing some battles, but Your spirit has not only endured through things that are not humanly possible, but has grown stronger in the power and might of Jesus' resurrected power. You are His walking miracle as you have continued to stand for Him on the Way of His Truth. In this long season of suffering, You, Penny Mauldin have faithfully persevered in Christ Jesus, He has been your way, your truth and your life.

Hebrews 13:5-6

Let your [a]character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] [b]Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor [c]give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [d][I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor [e]let [you] down ([f]relax My hold on you)! [[g]Assuredly not!](A)6So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?(B)

Penny, I could never be more prouder of you, more inspired by your living legacy or more humbled by your life. You got it! You walk it! The Way Of Truth! TRUTH has stood up in your life! KINGDOM TRUTH:

God's Sovereign Will For Our Individual Lives Goes Hand In Hand With His Infinite Love And Bridges The Gap Between Human Suffering And Heavenly Destiny With A Powerful Enduring Love That Nothing And No One Can Snatch You From The Hand-Presence Of.

You have walked undivided in heart and truth through immense suffering, putting your left hand in God's Sovereign Will and your right hand in His Mighty Right Hand Of Infinite Love. His Sovereign Will is never separated from His Infinite Love, He never leaves us alone as He works out the Purposes of the Kingdom of God in and through our lives and even if it feels like more we can humanly endure, His Kingdom possibility intervenes with a Holy Alliance, a Kingdom Advocacy that no amount of human suffering can revoke. AWE-GOD!

Job 23:13

But He is unchangeable, and who can turn Him? And what He wants to do, that He does.

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

Oh Penny, in my soul, I am selfishly hoping huge for God to heal your body, hoping this is His Sovereign Will for you, (I am praying for this, humbly asking God) and I know I speak on behalf of all of us who love you so, whose lives are being made so much better by your constant, faithful stand for Jesus Christ in your all and everything. I am hoping huge in God's possibility, yet I have yielded to His plan and Kingdom Purpose that will be in the FINAL SAY of God. I know His Sovereign will is more important to the Kingdom than my wants because He sees and knows the whole picture, where I only see in part and for the part I don't see, I am determined to fight with my will until I have completely yielded my will and trust Him wholly. He Has The Final Say!

Proverbs 15:13-15

A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.(A) 14The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge and inquires after and craves it, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool feeds on folly.(B) 15All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].

******** FREEDOM! ********

Today's Appetizer Is: Matthew 12: 20


He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious. 21 And his name will be the hope of all the world.

Main Course: From The Author's Journal

                    
AHHH FREEDOM!
Freedom! It is so sweet to live with liberty and justice for all! Freedom is a fragile thing and must be protected, defended and preserved. Such is the liberty of this great nation as it rests upon the foundation of God's Power and is daily looked after through His Warriors, our military! I am so thankful to God and to our Military for my freedom. I do not take the sacrifices of our United States Military for granted. Thank You! Thank You for protecting and defending our freedom in such an honorable, courageous and excellent way! You are Appreciated! Always Remembered, Lifted Up In Prayer To Almighty God! Freedom! I Love It, I treasure it! AWE-GOD!
SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001! NEVER FORGET!
I still have not forgotten! Have you forgotten? Never Forget!
I treasure the freedom our military fights so hard to defend, protect and preserve! I cling to the future and hope I have in Jesus Christ and I remember His Faithfulness and favor that our Country, The United States Of America is securely positioned in! As 2009 unfolds, there is some disunity, unrest and insecurity in our country as we endure growing pains as a nation; yet the heart of this nation, the state of our union remains steady and sure in the foundation our forefathers laid down as we became One Nation Under Almighty God- Indivisible With Liberty And Justice For All.
Americans, May Our Gratefulness To God Ring Loud And Clear!
AWE-GOD! Never Forget Him!
Even through the tragedy of September 11th 2001, the heart-beat of Americans rings loud and clear; we are grateful to Almighty God for all He has helped us endure and grateful that in our weakness, He shows Himself strong. Always Remember Our God, For Without Him We Can't Do Anything That Significantly Matters In Light Of Eternity!
Our God Is Mighty To Save! He Is An AWE-Some God! Remember Him Today!

 


A United States Marine Wrote This On September 11th 2001!


FREEDOM
One heart - one blood - one soul
Freedom is our ultimate goal!

Freedom from terror and fear
Freedom that we now
feel is not so near

Freedom from the
anguish and the grief
Freedom from that terrifying thief

We have all felt the terror
and shock that he brings
From the poor, to those rich as kings

This tragedy has touched
us all first hand,
there is sorrow and grieving
throughout the land

We must now fight
for the freedom we once had
We must bury the hatred
and take the good with the bad

This course in our life has been set
What took place that day
we will never forget

But don't be dismayed
for true freedom comes from within
It is a battle that we will always win

The broken hearts will eventually mend
And justice will prevail in the end
Be strong for our loved ones that are gone
And with our strength America will live on

Talk It Up!


Back To Author Table

Don't Be Oblivious To The Cost Of Freedom!
My son who is currently serving this country in The United States Marines, wrote a poem called "The Reason", when He was fighting over in Iraq. After I read it my heart was heavy, because I feel that in America today we are oblivious to the real sacrifices of our military and their families as we selfishly enjoy our freedom and we need to be more alert and aware of the true reality of our situation and the reason why these warriors choose to endure and fight the fight to defend our freedom!

 

Don't Be Complacent About Your Freedom!
The Spirit of the United States of America unified and rose up out of the ashes of the Pentagon and the World Trade Center when terror attacked our homeland; but now we sit back in complacency and have become disjointed by our self preservation in political aspirations and our focus is no longer a united vision. Our prevailing attitude is shown in the dropping of the polls as those who once favored the war on terror, now have lethargically forgotten the alarm of September 11th and instead of alert, have adopted a campaign to erase the blackboard before we have learned from what was written on it that fateful day of September 11th 2001.

 

America! Let Them Work- Let Them Live!
Our enemy has a strategy! This predetermined scheme of our enemy is to destroy our unity as a country and therefore our liberty! These political attitudes that place human life second to party gain, is so dangerous for our military, our sons and daughters and it also creates casualties of memory as we forget our gratefulness to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us to keep our liberty and protect our freedom. Our Military willingly go to a foreign culture, leave their families and everything they know and put themselves in harm's way and then because of political policies, they don't have the support they need to stay alive and fight a good fight! What is up with that? That is not the America I know! She would never leave U.S. Marines stranded on the ground without air support and fire'power to protect their back; She would never just let them die like that! She would do everything in her power to give her Military what they needed because She is the one who sent them into battle in the first place to defend her liberty!

 

Americans! Listen-Learn From Our Military!
Our United States Military are paying an emotional and physical price for our freedom and it is time that we wake up in America and see how easy we have it in this country. This is the generation of challenge and it is time such as this for us to selflessly, boldly and courageously stand up to this champion's challenge; a time for us to stop casually taking so much for granted without being willing to give in return and a time to live responsibility with our freedom and protect and preserve the unity of our Country by our words and actions. It is simple to say let freedom ring as we casually walk out our personal perception of liberty and it costs us nothing. We need to do what it takes to back our United States Military and realize that they have the firsthand information through their actual experiences with this terrorist enemy and trust that they know the reality of our terrorist enemies and the damage these terrorist enemies are capable of doing to our freedom and the value we place on each and every life in this great country!

 

Rally-Rally-Rally Behind Our Military!
We need to rally behind our United States Military and their families and sacrificially support them no matter what our political agenda is. Maybe it is a time such as this to sacrifice our political schemas for those who are sacrificing their lives for us, so we can have the freedom to be a democracy and have the liberty to even have a personal political agenda. Without freedom there is no politics – no Democrats and no Republicans, just plain old communistic socialism! If the military can't do their jobs without their plans, missions and military strategies being twisted up in political campaign, then democracy will not survive because we will defeat our liberty from within our own dysfunctional disunity.

 

Be Willing To Walk In Their Shoes Before You Talk Up Smack!
I challenge you to walk in the shoes of this United States Marine and listen to his heart that comes out of a true life experience with this enemy called terrorist! These warriors of freedom, who have for centuries and still do now, take very seriously the procuring and protection of your freedom and liberty here in the United States of America and they have the true perspective of the enemy of your liberty, justice and freedom! They have seen things that their brutal–vicious enemy has done and experienced the atrocities of their evil sick ways as they use their own women and children as weapons and send them to their death without any value for their lives. These brave, courageous and honorable men know how to procure and protect our freedom because they have walked it out! Don't play political games with the lives of our Military, Mr. President– Congress– Senate or their blood will be on your hands. They deserve better than that. Listen to them, they are the ones fighting over there! Humble yourselves, let go of your personal political agenda and listen to the wisdom of these great Military Warriors! Just Do It! Do It For The Sake Of Their Lives And The Freedom Of This Great Country You Serve!

 

Follow The Lead Of Our Troops Be: Selfless–Unified! Willing To Sacrifice For Others!
This United States Marine, He says it all and now I say, follow his lead and support our troops by being selfless, courageous and unified and let the spirit of brotherhood in the homeland of the United States ring clear in the ears of our troops in the Middle East as we unite behind them, giving them all they need to be victorious and believing in them and the work they service to preserve our National Liberty and Justice For All! God Bless America! God Bless Our Troops And May Your Hand Of Favor Be With Them, Guide Them, Keep Them By Your Almighty Sovereign Power!

 

"THE REASON"

What is the reason for all my pain?
Being here I have nothing to gain!


But in this desolate place I have everything to lose,
Whether I live to see tomorrow, I cannot choose.


I leave behind the one I love so dear,
But in my heart she will always be near.


In hard times like these I cannot see
Why America depends on someone like me.


For I am young and emotionally I am weak,
My views and my feelings I cannot speak.


I don't know how to change the problems in this foreign land,
All I do know is how to be swift and deadly with my right hand.


I eliminate criminals and terrorists from these lands,
I do it because that is what the Marine Corps demands.


So is it for the Marine Corps that I do these things,
And for My America where freedom continues to ring!


It is at that moment that I look to my left and right,
I see my brothers who have been suffering with me day–night,
And I realize why we push ourselves and do what we do,
It is for each other because it is not just about you!


It is for your fellow Marine that is always by your side,
No matter how big the fight, he will never run and hide.
So carry on for your fellow Marines and for the Corps
And together we will settle any score.
