Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage!
I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy will be found in Followship. Today, I will put God 1st before my occupation, plans, hopes, dreams and expectations. I will follow hard after my AWE-GOD. When I don't understand, I will continue to press forward in complete trust of Your Goodness, Wisdom and Kingdom Purpose!

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 About This:
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

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 positions 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!

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. Is 43:19
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.

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.

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 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength! 14 Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God's love for us).

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."
