AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!
Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage!
********************************************************************************
Holy Spirit Inspired…. He speaks, I listen and obey… Thank you for teaching Me!
Galatians 1:12 (NLT) I received my message from no human source, and no
one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.
Jesus, most of this month is dedicated to the Daniel's Fast. A 21 day fast where I am asking for You to reveal Yourself to me, that I might hear You clearly and be established in Followship – Completely!
Daniel Fast! Gleaming From Daniel- Learning And Growing!
Father God, during this Daniel fast, I am asking nothing worldly or temporary, I am asking for my Spirit-Soul-Will-Mind to be shaped by the Master Potter God. I am asking for an increase in faith- excellence-character. I know that You can do all of this in me, but I also know it takes me, my choice to Followship. I pray the fast will weaken my will. I pray this 21 days You, Holy Spirit will teach me and shape me more in 2 Peter 5:6-8 and teach me as I read in the book of Daniel that I might gain a desire for excellence and the boldness of God's courage as I diligently exercise my faith through the salvation sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

My Heart Thoughts From This Song: Worship Wisdom! Songs Changing My Heart-Life! AWE-mazing God!
His Strength Is Perfect!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzKo25QKPsY
I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength? What can You do through me? No great success to show, no glory of my own, yet in my weakness He is there to let me know: His strength is perfect, when ours strength is gone. God will carry us, when we can't carry on! Raised in His power, the weak become strong, His strength is perfect!
WE can only know the power that He holds when we truly see how deep our weakness goes. His strength in us begins where ours comes to an end. He hears our humble cry and proves again – His strength is perfect when our strength is gone. He will carry us, when we can't carry on!

Oh How Cool It Is... How God Knows Just When We Need The Encouragement To Persevere! I have a book, it is almost finished... a 30 year work... I have done it in between all my working here and there, but in the last three years, I have had much more time with it... it is almost finished, I am saying in days, probably next week the final edit will be done. I don't have a next step from there.. It is so God inspired, so different than what you could ever imagine. I put pieces of it out on my website on the Listener Table and on that table to the right on the right nav bar, here is the link: http://thebridegroomscafe.com/lltalkit8.htm I try to explain what the book is about.... it is just so different and God inspired and I know it is for now... so I have no idea how I will publish it, I have taken self publishing courses... I have no money to do it right now, but I know my Father God has a plan and is waiting until I finish it. I have two ideas I am tossing around, one is 1st putting it out online as an e-book you can download and that would bring in the revenue for me to publish it, I can see what I want, I want it to be very ummmmmm journalish... with maybe a spiral binding that you can flop open and be very comfortable with... so pray for me as I finish, that I wont' miss God, I will stay in complete Followship! Wait... let Him do it, because I can take no credit for the book... it is all HIM! Thanks for encouraging me... sometimes I need it and God knows what I need! Love ya

Daniel Fast! Gleaming From Daniel- Learning And Growing!
Introduction To Daniel From Joyce Meyer's The Everyday Life Bible
The Book of Daniel teaches life lessons through one person. The great lessons we learn from Daniel are excellence and courage. Daniel was determined to be a God-pleaser not a man pleaser. He refused to conform. Daniel stood his ground and won favor with the King. Because of his fearless stand, God was able to use Him in a powerful way. The fruit of excellent decisions-behavior is rooted in and excellent spirit. Daniel lived with excellence and courage because our God is an excellent God.
GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change
I heard a sermon last weekend by Pastor Todd Mullins, Who said we have taken the suffering out of salvation. Wow, that hit me hard as I realized that in our generation this is so true. We don't want to sacrifice or suffer for God, we want all things comfortable ease! When I look at Daniel, I see a man totally sold out to God in all areas of his life. He was not afraid to suffer, be uncomfortable or uneasy for his belief in God was 1st. He was sold out to Followship of his AWE-GOD! I am far from there, but I believe, I am on my way, growing forward on a God Adventure of Followship! Daniel was courageous and stood firm in his beliefs and he had many God adventures that looked like the road was going to dead end, yet God delivered him and lifted him up! If I reach for a complete Followship of Jesus Christ, and live a life that is focused on excellence in everything I do, my courage will parallel the exact measure of my excellence unto God. I guess the question is the same one I read in my bible today that Joyce Meyer wrote about putting the word to work: Are you willing to be like Daniel and determine not to defile yourself? Ask God to help you make Godly choices and stay faithful to Him.
Daniel 1 Chapter One
1 IN THE third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with a part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar [Babylonia] to the house of his god and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god.
GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change
Besieged= overwhelmed – inundated – plagued – weighed down
Have you ever felt this way, been this way… I have! When this happens, I know my immediate response is WHY??? Why is this happening to me? The Lord allowed it – The Lord handed You Over To it – The Lord – The Lord gave the enemy victory over your situation- your life. I may not be the King of Judah, but I have experienced this, where the Lord allows something to touch our lives and we can't even begin to understand it, yet I know now that His Kingdom purpose is greater than the suffering of this season, His glory will prevail. It is only a season, where Kingdom purpose is in play for a huge blessing. For a season of time, God's purpose is specifically in play and He will redeem our suffering for a greater Glory! The King of Judah and His Kingdom was besieged, and yes God allowed it, and sometimes our lives are besieged for a season! I can live with excellence-courage because my God is Mighty, He is an excellent AWE-GOD!
3 And the [Babylonian] king told Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring in some of the children of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility--4 Youths without blemish, well-favored in appearance and skillful in all wisdom, discernment, and understanding, apt in learning knowledge, competent to stand and serve in the king's palace--and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.5 And the king assigned for them a daily portion of his own rich and dainty food and of the wine which he drank. They were to be so educated and so nourished for three years that at the end of that time they might stand before the king.6 Among these were of the children of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.7 The chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar [the king's attendant], Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.8 But Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself by [eating his portion of] the king's rich and dainty food or by [drinking] the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might [be allowed] not to defile himself. 9 Now God made Daniel to find favor, compassion, and loving-kindness with the chief of the eunuchs.
GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change
The King wanted to groom some of the children of Israel to be servants with leadership positions under his rule, he wanted to shape them for the life-style of his court. Even though Daniel was in a bad situation, the Favor of God was evident from the beginning when the chief of staff gave him a new name Belteshazzar which meant the kings attendant. We often as we grow through trials, are so focused on the trial, we miss seeing the Favor of God! When God's purposes are in play in a situation we deem to be "bad", His favor is always parallel to our suffering. He is always with us and His Kingdom purposes are working for our good!
The one thing that stands out in this situation is Daniels attitude! I have been in situations that were really bad and I did not have that attitude. Lord, you are teaching me much lately about this very thing, it is called Followship! Daniel determined in His heart that he would follow God always, and grow through every season with his 1st step of a new season being reverent-submissive-obedience.
Determined= strong-minded; resolute; unwavering; single-minded
Daniel was not swayed from his call to God by His circumstances. So many times I have been, forgive me Lord Jesus. Change me Lord God from the inside out during this Daniel Fast, show me my heart that I might become more aligned to Your Way and reveal Yourself to me by Your Holy Spirit.
10 And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear, lest my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink, should see your faces worse looking or more sad than the other youths of your age. Then you would endanger my head with the king.11 Then said Daniel to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,12 Prove your servants, I beseech you, for ten days and let us be given a vegetable diet and water to drink.13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat of the king's [rich] dainties be observed and compared by you, and deal with us your servants according to what you see.14 So [the man] consented to them in this matter and proved them ten days.15 And at the end of ten days it was seen that they were looking better and had taken on more flesh than all the youths who ate of the king's rich dainties.16 So the steward took away their [rich] dainties and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables.17 As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all [kinds of] visions and dreams. 18 Now at the end of the time which the king had set for bringing [all the young men in], the chief of the eunuchs brought them before Nebuchadnezzar.19 And the king conversed with them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they were assigned to stand before the king.20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king asked them, he found them ten times better than all the [learned] magicians and enchanters who were in his whole realm.21 And Daniel continued there even to the first year of King Cyrus [at the close of the seventy years' exile of Judah in Babylonia, which Jeremiah had foretold].
GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change
Daniel showed me excellence in character, but most of all his life is showing me an uncompromising belief. A few years ago, Lord You gave me this verse to memorize and get into my life:
John 6: 29 Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you: that you believe in the One Whom He has sent [that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger].
Amplified Bible Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation
John 6: 29 29 Jesus told them, "This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent."

I am seeing through Daniel that the courage to do what is right parallels the excellence of my spiritual life, but I also hear the Holy Spirit saying to me that the common denominator of both excellence and courage is an unwavering belief in my AWE-GOD! Daniel was positioned in belief, he was determined to honor his commitment to God, his belief in God and that determined his excellence and fed his courage! Here is someone else's testimony, showing me a great heart attitude that I need to be shaped by:
Philippians 1:20 I expect and hope that I will not fail Christ in anything but that I will have the courage now, as always, to show the greatness of Christ in my life here on earth, whether I live or die.

Philippians 1: 20 I can hardly wait to continue on my course. I don't expect to be embarrassed in the least. On the contrary, everything happening to me in this jail only serves to make Christ more accurately known, regardless of whether I live or die. They didn't shut me up; they gave me a pulpit!21 Alive, I'm Christ's messenger; dead, I'm his bounty. Life versus even more life! I can't lose.
