****My Prayer! I Place All My Expectation In You, Almighty God!*****

Psalm 62:5 (amplified) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Father God I pray for your protection on our truck. Show Bob where to take it to get it fixed, I pray Lord You will be in the center of this situation. Be our Advocate. Jesus!

Thank you Jesus for the favor You have given Bob at this company. It is all You Jesus. I pray that You would miraculously help Bob in the getting of the stalled decking. Make a way for him to get that decking Jesus. BE with Bob by Your Power and strength. Be the motivation, the perfection, the wisdom that he needs on his job today. Thank You Jesus.

Great God! Great GOD Job Travel Adventure!

Jesus, I know You are about to set us out again. I thought I was going to be home, but with the Favor You have given Bob, he is going to stay with this company. Thank you for that job security Lord. It does change things up a lot for me. We can't be apart that much, I know that without You even having to tell me, it is common sense. I know You are up to something and I do want to be a part of it, please bring my will in line with Your passion to reach people Lord. I do want to be used by You Jesus. Guide me by Your Spirit. Change my wants, transform them into passion for the things on Your heart. I pray I will step into Your Kingdom purpose flow and be a part of Your Mission, experience the passion of Your heart. I pray for Your courage-strength-wisdom to step out and be found in the flow of Your Kingdom purpose in play around me today.

Joshua 1:2-3 Moses My servant is dead. So now arise [take his place]. Go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, the Israelites, Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall dread, that have I given to you, as I promised Moses.

Amplified Bible

Life Point By Joyce Meyer:

We must be willing to take responsibility as we go forward to claim our spiritual inheritance. Every blessing God gives us comes with a measure of responsibility, and we need to take that responsibility seriously.

My Thoughts About This:

Responsibility! This is so true! I have read through the 1st few verses of Joshua and I realize that his courage had a lot to do with him stepping and being all God wanted him to be. I need God's courage to face this change in my life, to step out into God's purpose flow for the Kingdom of God. God is a constant source of strength and His Word, His Word and the promises, wisdom, hope is a container of strength for my courage. I realized that so much when I saw how the Lord told Joshua to be strong and courageous and then He said this:

Joshua 1:7-8 Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

Amplified Bible

Life Point By Joyce Meyer

The bible says that if you want to find wise answers to your problems and be successful and prosperous in all your dealings, you need to mediate on the Word of God day and night.

I did not know satan could inject thoughts into my brain. The devil was controlling my life because he was controlling my thoughts. Mediate on God's Word and you can push back the enemy. When you fill your mind with God's truth, you will find your thoughts are thoughts of truth, freedom, victory and peace.

Leave The Past Behind By Joyce Meyer

After Moses' death, the law allowed the Israelites thirty days to mourn. After those days were completed, God told Joshua it was time for him to take his new position (see Joshua 1:2). It was time to start moving toward new things. Joshua would miss Moses, but he knew he had to obey God and move on. There is a proper time for mourning those things that we have lost or that have come to an end. But ultimately we, we must make a choice to start living and making progress again. We all have a past but thank God we all have a future—a good one, according to His Word (see Jeremiah 29:11)

Because Moses had done many things for Joshua and the Israelites before he died, they needed to learn how to handle new responsibilities after he died. They may not have felt prepared to step out into new things, but God knew they were ready. It is actually a good thing when we don't "feel" ready, because then we are more likely to totally lean on God. If we feel self-sufficient, God can't really use us.

    New things always seem frightening, but soon they will become old things, and God will have another "new thing" on the horizon of our lives. We need to grow accustomed to stepping out into new things. The more we do, the more we realize that we don't' have to be comfortable to be obedient. In order to take hold of a new thing, we must let go of the old and allow ourselves time to get acquainted with the new. I believe that when God reminded Joshua that Moses was dead, He was encouraging him to let go of the past and press on. I encourage you to do the same. Remember the good things of your past, but do not get stuck there. God is always doing a new thing! When God called Abraham to a new place, he did not even think about where he was to go. He simply trusted God because he knew God was faithful. Do not be afraid to realize and walk away from what God is finished with; He has wonderful new things waiting for you!

Today, I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy, purpose that life will not be about me, but all about You, Lord Jesus! Almighty God, You are my all in my everything! From Glory To Glory….. Jesus You Are "Simply Enough"!

Joshua 1:5

I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

Psalm 100:5

The Lord is good and His love endures forever

Daniel 2:20-23 Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever! For wisdom and might are His! He changes the times and the season; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding [Dan. 4:35] 22 He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him! [Job 15:8; Ps.25:14; Matt.6:6] 23 I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, Who has given me wisdom and might and has made known to me now what we desired of You, for You have made know to us the solution to the king's problems.

Amplified Bible

Gleaming From Daniel- Learning:Growing! Chapter two

Beth Moore Daniel CD #2 Workbook Week Two

Daniel 2:18

Daniel and his friends served the only God who could deliver them.

Daniel 2:14 Then Daniel returned an answer which was full of prudence and wisdom to Arioch the captain or executioner of the kings' guard who had gone forth to slay the wisemen of Babylon.

He mustered the astonishing courage to ask a difficult question that could have gotten him killed right away. Daniels tact kept his words from tasting bad on the tongue of the executioner. Tact. We all could use an extra dose – but no one more than Christians. Not because we're worse than everyone else but because so much is at stake. Christians could use an extra dose of "tact" because there is so much Kingdom purpose at stake!

Beth Moore

Tact! Just Be It! Tactful! "We're never more tempted to be rude than when we think someone deserves it." Beth Moore

A tactful approach doesn't cast a vote of approval. Tact is wisdom, not flattery. Beth Moore

Merriam Webster defines it as implying "delicate and considerate perception of what is appropriate…

Daniels life was at stake! The eternal lives of the lost are at stake. Be tactful- don't leave a bad taste for Christianity in their mouths- this is deadly 4 them.

My Thoughts About This:

I really believe that my lack of "tact" comes as a bi product of my impulsive nature. If I would just slow down and let God… God is able… He can work through me any kind of tact I need for any kind of situation if I would just LET BE.. Let God Work! Sometimes, especially when I follow my emotions, I am like a bull in a china shop and tact is no where to be found. I think especially when our "human rights" have been violated, that is a real trap for a tactless situation. The way Daniel lived his life is really eye opening for me, I am making some changes by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Being tactful is one of those changes that I need to make constant-consistent in my life. Webster Dictionary has its definition of tact and Jesus had His:

Colossians 4:6 Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss]to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you].

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This:

Tact: charming, pleasant, attractive, engaging, appealing, endearing, agreeable, nice, polite, smart, likeable- Make us like You Jesus! Tactful Soul Savers!

Being tactful is exercising faith that has a voice of Godly appeal as we believe completely in our #AWE-GOD Advocate, Jesus!

Daniel 2:18 shows how Daniel went back to the house and told them of the situation and they all prayed for God's mercy. How would you imagine that would look like, this prayer meeting between Daniel, Hananiah, Misheal and Azariah?

My Thoughts About This:

I think it probably looked like Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane where He asked that this cup might be taken from Him, then He laid down His will and in complete willessness, He said: Not my will but Yours be done for your Kingdom Glory – I am willess, into Your hands I commit my life. I could see them bowing before God in complete willessness. I do it every morning and I tell you it is so freeing. Life does not always go and you plan it, God loves to do detours and U-Turns just to shake up our spirits of complacency and there have been many times that the laying down of my will, saved the lives of others, because God had a kingdom purpose in play through my situation that set up a divine appointment of salvation for someone else. He is always working in the unseen, the question is do we fit into His purpose flow today or are we going to be led by our will?

©I am Promised!!! ©

Psalm 89:4 Your Seed I will establish forever, and I will build up your throne for all generations. Selah [pause and calmly think of that] [Isaiah 9:7; Luke 1:32-33 Gal 3:16]

My Thoughts About These Verses As I Listen To The Holy Spirit:

We have an #AWE-GOD Who will always be. His being with us can never be interrupted by anything or anyone! Ps 89:4

#AWE-GOD! Ps 89:6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord – likened to the Lord?

VS8 Who is mighty like You Lord?

 

QUOTES THAT ENCOURAGE-INSPIRE GROWTH-CHANGE ME

Dear friends, let us shake off the intoxication of compromise. Too many of us are entertained by things we should weep over. God destroyed the world during Noah's day because of violence, yet we sit before televisions and in theaters amused by violence. The Lord ultimately destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of their twisted morality, yet we do nothing to protest similar perversity entering our lands.

Francis Frangipane

 

****My Prayer! I Place All My Expectation In You, Almighty God!*****

Psalm 62:5 (amplified) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Father God be with my friend Sherri today, by Your Spirit undergird her with Your healing hands. I pray that this IV implanted in her as a port to her blood flow, will heal this infection in her blood, Jesus let Your blood cover her, Your healing blood, purify her body, heal her Jesus.

Gleaming From Daniel- Learning:Growing! Chapter two

Daniel 2:19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven.

Beth Moore's Study On Daniel Week Two Workbook Study

Rule for victorious living: when the stakes are high, bow down low! Beth Moore

Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever! For wisdom and might are His! Amplified bible

Daniel was in a life threatening situation and he chose to lay before God and pray. God revealed to Daniel at night, after he had prayed, God revealed to Daniel, exactly what he needed to know.

"Imagine being one of the three who did not receive the revelation. Their place was critical. It was on their knees. At the same time, they had to trust that God had given a clear answer that concerned their very lives to someone else."

To be chosen to hear from God on the behalf of others is a huge responsibility!

We must trust God! It is time to bend our knee to God's sovereignty- watch Him work out His Kingdom purposes.

What kind of a person would we need to be, to be like Daniel, to be told something that would change people's destiny forever?

My Thoughts About This:

I think we would have to be a person of excellence in God. We would have to have an undivided heart, clinging to nothing in this world and giving our lives to everything Kingdom! I believe we would have to be in a Holy Alignment with the flow of God's Kingdom Purpose at play all around us. I believe we would have to have a very strong Holy Alliance with God's Word. We would have to be completely willess, and ready and equipped to follow completely after God! Followship would have to be 1st in our lists of desires. Ties to our culture would have to be broken and transplanted in Kingdom soil. We would need to be connected to the passions of God's heart and available to make them ours, to own them and treat them as valuable as ours, as if they were ours.

"When the revelation came, Daniel received it and then compulsory praise broke forth from his lips. The answer to urgent prayer calls for urgent praise."

Read Outloud! Daniel 2:20-23 Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever! For wisdom and might are His! He changes the times and the season; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding [Dan. 4:35] 22 He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him! [Job 15:8; Ps.25:14; Matt.6:6] 23 I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, Who has give me wisdom and might and has made known to me now what we desired of You, for You have made know to us the solution to the king's problems.

Amplified Bible

Job 15:8 Were you present to hear the secret counsel of God? And do you limit (the possession of) wisdom to yourself?

Amplified Bible

Psalm 25: 14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning [John 7:17; 15:15]

My Thoughts About This:

If you desire to do God's Will – To do what pleases God in your all and everything, you will have God's discernment. (See John 17:7) Daniel was wanting to please God, even in the midst of a culture he could have comfortably just melted into, He chose God, He chose the way of Kingdom excellence and not the way of cultural excess and ease. He was not held captive by friendly captivity, He was held captive by His God!

Daniel 4:25cuntil you have learned and know that the Most High [God] rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He will.

Amplified Bible

John 16:24 Up to this time you have not asked a [single] thing in My Name [as representing all that I AME]; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete.

"Is there anything like the ecstatic joy of answered prayer?" Beth Moore Sometimes we confuse humility with timidity. When God comes through for us, a timid and tentative thanks is not only out of place, it's anticlimactic."

"If we became intentional about noting every single answer to# prayer, we'd be astonished by God's attentive faithfulness." Beth Moore

"God wants few things more passionately than His Word abiding in us." Beth Moore

The Lord is good and His love endures forever

Great God! Great GOD Job Travel Adventure!

Joshua 1:8 This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

Amplified Bible

*My THOUGHTS: GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change*

Lord, You are changing things up again. I think… and that is where I go wrong. To grow is not to think, it is to wait in complete submission with a will that is fully surrendered! I wanted to be involved in prison ministry and I am not sure if that is a go anymore and I wanted to be a part of the new campus plant, not sure of that either. What I am sure of is that You have given Bob extreme favor with this company He is working with. You have opened a door that no man can shut. Just as you said You would. You have done. I know that I must follow the open door, the one You have miraculously opened, the one where there is Your Light, Your Favor, Your Provision. I always imagined myself with a home, staying put and being a part of my community. This is not my plan for me, yet I know it is Your Will. Bob will move from job to job as a traveling superintendent. It seems like such a lonely life to travel from city to city, yet I know You did it, You our King of Heaven had no where to lay Your head on earth. The way it looks, he may be with this company for years and that is very good God thing, a miracle of Your Provision. I am grateful for it. It is definitely not good for us to be apart for what looks like now could be years. We only see each other on one or two weekends a month. The common sense wisdom says this is not good for our marriage in a long term situation. I don't know how this is going to play out, but I do know You are sending us out again. My will screams NO, my spirit humbly says, Yes Lord. I know You have prepared us for a time such as this, we have been given much, we have much to give. You don't need us, but You do want us to go out, to make disciples out in the regions and cities you send us. It is not my way, but it is Your will. I submit myself to You Jesus, and to wherever You are going to send us, I pray for Your Kingdom to Come, Your Will to be done. Jesus! I know the routine Lord Jesus, when it comes to my will, it must be broken, submitted to Yours. This time it feels somewhat easier, I am getting used to Your Voice and Your Way that seems to be totally different than my wants, but always plays out with an eternal edge. I know the heavenly hindsight's of Your Glory Glow and with my rear view mirror intact, I gaze in it to encourage me, that Your Way always leaves a trail of Your Glory Dust! Father God I pray that You would work out every detail and enlighten Bob and I, make a Way for us. Jesus! Thank you Lord!

Exodus 25:1-2 And the Lord said to Moses, Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me and offering. From every man who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart you shall take My offering.

Check Your "want to" By Joyce Meyer

Giving to God willingly and ungrudgingly basically boils down to whether or not we desire to give. I call this attitude our "want to" and I believe without it, we will never do anything significant.

Yes, I have a call from God on my life. But I need something in addition to His call. I need to have a lot of "want to". Another word for that is passion.

Passion is the thing that motivates us to work hard and make sacrifices with a good attitude Joyce Meyer.

If you and I are going to serve God and be examples to others, we need to have sanctified "want to." Joyce Meyer

God is not interested in our good works if we are not doing them with a willing heart. Ask God to give you His desires and cause you to want what He wants.

*My THOUGHTS: GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change*

Wherever You lead me, Lord of the Harvest, I'll go! Father God I pray that I will know Your heart and walk in Your passions and purposes today. I pray for a willing heart as You send me forth into Your Harvest Field. Jesus give me Your desires and cause me to completely want what You want. Increase my "want to" Lord Jesus! AMEN!

Nehemiah 1:9 And I said, O Lord God of heave, the great and terrible God, Who keeps covenant, loving-kindness, and mercy for those who love Him and keep His commandments

Amplified Bible

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know, recognize and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This:

God keeps His Covenant with us, to love us unconditionally, to be with us in mercy and loving-kindness as we love Him and are faithful to His Way. Love and obedience go hand in hand when it comes to our God's heart's desire for us.

1 John 5:3 For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous)

Amplified Bible

John 14:23 Jesus answered, If a person [really} loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This Verse! AWE GOD!

 

I truly believe that love is not real until it is demonstrated. It is so easy to say it; to say I love you, but to do it, to carry out the intention of those words is very self sacrificing. Love is very sacrificial, and it is proved by actions. Love becomes real as it is acted out in selflessness. To me, this is real love! If I truly love God, I will obey Him, I will do what pleases Him, I will be completely His in Word-Action-Deed! Undivided in heart, loyal to the end and completely His, I will live my love for God from the inside-out!

Our Love for God is proved true as it is purposefully acted out in selfless-willess-passionate obedience of His Word-Will-Way!

If you really want a clear picture of how love and obedience are intertwined read 1 John

Father give us a fresh soul-discernment of how love and obedience go hand in hand- intertwining our will in Your Passion!

Love is NOT manipulating someone so they're wrapped around your finger. Love IS demonstrated by OUR actions. Women Of Faith Study Guide Series

My Heart Thoughts From This Song: Worship Wisdom! Changing Me!

Freedom By Carl Cartee

Gleaming From Daniel- Learning:Growing! Chapter two

Beth Moore Daniel CD #2 Workbook Week Two

"A Disciple is simply a person willing to learn." "The more we learn, the more God will reveal. Begin W/prayer it stimulates your receptors!
Beth Moore

Isaiah 47: 12-15 Fortells how in Daniel 2 the astrologers, magicians, enchanters, soothsayers, sorceres, diviners did not have the power to interpret the dream. They could not save anyone by their strength or foolish wisdom.

The king was so enraged that he ordered their executions… They held postions of great prestige and honor in Nebuchadnezzar's Kingdom, but they were utterly expendable at his angry-frustrated whim.

We are a part of a Kingdom, such as they were as they had superiority among the masses but no security. It is not the same for us. No one is expendable, in fact Luke 12:7 says that our King knows the very hairs upon our head.

"God knows our details. God knows my details – so don't be afraid. (Luke 12:7) I am invaluable to my King!" Beth Moore

"Our God Will Dwell With Us Until We Dwell With HIM!" Beth Moore

Exodus 25:8 Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

John 1:14 And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, carnate) and tabernacle (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son recives from his father full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.

*My THOUGHTS: GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change*

God wants to be with us, wants to dwell with us, do life with us! His grace, favor and loving-kindness are always with us. Jesus knows how we feel! He understands what we are growing through and how to grow W/humility-God-honor!

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Romans 15:13

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage!

 

S.O.A.P.

Scripture! Open It Up – Talk It Up

Observation! What Is God Saying To Me Personally

Application! What Difference Does This Make To Me Personally

Pray! God Take This Living Bible Precept-Promise-Purpose And Apply It To Me

Pastor Bruce Franks: Sermon Series "Empty" http://biltmorebaptist.org

2 Timothy 1: 6  That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination].7  For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control

My Thoughts About This:

I picked this scripture out of the 1st chapter of 2 Timothy because it really reflects the S.O.A.P. application. I need to fan my inner passion for God. I need to kindle the embers of my spirit with the hope, promise, precepts of the Word of God. I should stir up my relationship with God every single day with His Truth

Isaiah 43:19 Behold I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it?

Father God, ignite a fire in our wills. Give us a deep desire to learn new things-to walk W/day2day relevance in Your Kingdom purposes.

A Minute With Maxwell

Hesitation:

When I speak, I will hesitate. I make a statement I want people to think about and I hesitate. What we think and feel are not at the same pace. Make a statement and hesitate- I call it the pregnant pause. Letting the person's mind and heart catch up with each other. Timing is essential. Let the thought be marinated. If you live at the same rate and you don't hesitate, pause, stop and give time for thought process you will have many experiences with very little insight. Hesitation helps us to take our experiences and turn them into insights.

My Thoughts About This:

Awesome! I love what Dr. Maxwell said about how we don't think and feel at the same pace. That is so true. Sometimes I am so impulsive in my conversations with others that I don't truly listen to others fully. I hear their thoughts, but I don't hesitate so I can catch their emotions. I can see now that without hesitation, I am devaluing their emotions. The Holy Spirit has really been convicting me on this; I know I need to change. When I don't hesitate in my listening, I don't truly hear what the person is trying to say. My mind never stops, I am thinking about what I am going to say next, instead of hesitating to listen, truly listen to the words and emotions that someone is expressing. I know God owns my emotions; I need to learn to be more empathetic. Sometimes, I interrupt people mid speech, which is a very bad habit I have that I am working on changing. Hesitation is a good word for me today - it hits me at my point of growth. My conversations with people will just be empty experiences, if I don't learn to hesitate and transform my time with others into invaluable insight- investment! God's timing is essential and applying this word, hesitation to my communication skills will help me keep pace with God's timing. I pray this wisdom will change me and I will learn to use this valuable relational tool of hesitation.

Christ Fellowship IMAX:

The Bible portrays three levels of faith. Saving Faith believes God for personal salvation. Miracle Working Faith believes God to move mountains and do the impossible. Tested Faith believes that God hears, cares, and rules, and it trusts Him to do the right thing even when we may not understand or even agree with His ways. Together they form Tough Faith! This mature faith understands that God is not a vending machine that always dispenses the requested item if we can simply figure out what coins to insert. God's desire for you is to weave these three strands of faith into a strong rope that will hold you steady through the

Inevitable storms of life.

I am in a holy alliance with god- his word

Joshua 1:8-9

This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.9  Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

My Thoughts About These Verses As I Listen To The Holy Spirit:

Fear will attack us at every turn, yet God is always being, always with us! I think I need to say that even more strongly: God has always been, will always be and is being currently and there is nothing ever and no one anywhere that can stop our AWE-GOD from being! So how did that sound!? It was great for me! To me, courage is "Just Do It Power" from a God Who is always empowered, always present and always for me. When that feeling of "fear" creeps into my reality, or slithers into my situation, it is time for an "Omnipresent Reality Check"! Check! Yes God Is With Me! He Is Still Here! He Is Still Speaking! He Is Still For Me! AWE-GOD!

2 Chronicles 32:7-8

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles." And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.

Psalm 31:21-24 Blessed be the Lord! For He has shown me His marvelous loving favor when I was beset as in a besieged city.22 As for me, I said in my haste and alarm, I am cut off from before Your eyes. But You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to You for aid.23 O love the Lord, all you His saints! The Lord preserves the faithful, and plentifully pays back him who deals haughtily.24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!

Matthew 14:26-33 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid! 28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.33 And those in the boat knelt and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God!

1 Corinthians 15:58

O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? 56 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power [upon the soul] through [the abuse of] the Law.57 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].

1 John 5:14

And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.12  He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life.13  I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life.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.

Joshua 1:1

After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua, Moses' assistant: "Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I'm giving to the People of Israel. I'm giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on—just as I promised Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great Sea. It's all yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you. Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors. Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going. And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed. Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take."
