AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage

I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy am willess and I look to You, dreaming only of You… You are my dream maker and the hope of my life!

James 1:12

Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor's] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"[Imitating Christ's Humility] Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." Philippians 2:1-2 NIV

Thoughts As I listened to Philippians 2

Be united with Christ, take comfort in His love… be one in spirit and purpose with God, do nothing out of selfishness or pride, look to the interests of others… attitude the same as Jesus Christ, who gave up His rights, made himself nothing taking the nature of a servant He humbled Himself…. Died on a cross and then God exalted him to the highest place and now He has the Name above all names. Jesus Christ, Lord! Therefore… obey God, workout your salvation with respect and AWE… God works in us to will and act according to His purpose… Shine like stars in the universe, hold out the word of life… be poured out like a drink offering in all your situations. Don't look out for your own interests, look out for the Kingdom purposes of Jesus Christ. Honor people who give their lives to Jesus

My Thoughts About This:

This really, really speaks to me today. Sometimes I feel like Jonah, I want to run, I want to run away as far away from this season of my life as I can get. But I know like Jonah, the 1^st decision to do that will land me in a belly of a whale. So I will make the right choice! I will stay where He has put me and be thankful for the Kingdom purposes in play all around me. I will focus on Him, not on my situation and give my life to His Kingdom work. I am not really unhappy with my life, I am glad to be serving God, but there are times when I just feel so alone here in Georgia, it is hard to focus on what God has me here for. I know it is a good Kingdom purpose, but it has some of the old demons popping up in insecurity and things from the past. Where do you fit in this Jesus? To me it is so out of balance this world. Times I just want to pack up and go back to NC, I am so tempted to do it, just leave here and try to make a life for myself in NC. But that would be exactly what you told me to "grow out of" when you gave me Isaiah 50, you said to me not to kindle my own fire and walk by the light of a man made fire, or I would lay down in torment. I will obey this Jesus. Because I know that I have inner peace here, even if my flesh hates it here, my inner peace rules. That is what is so weird, the peace I have even though at times I wish I was home in NC, I know I am to be here. It is just not a place I thought I would be in, but it is a place where you are using me Jesus, for Your Kingdom. Help me to deny my flesh today, not to look out for my interests, what I want but for YOURS and serve YOU alone. Jesus. Thank you for the scripture this morning, it does keep my feet in place, positioned in the flow of Your Kingdom purposes

***Day THREE… #3 Of Week Three…. Day Three……#3 Week***

Wed. Sept. 14, 201 1 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 3

We do have a God-given free will, but we are responsible-accountable to God for the choices we make. I know I make a choice for peace or a choice for disobedience. With my free will I can choose to be responsible-accountable to God and this is a choice for inner peace.
The enemy wants to steal my peace and the way it happens is usually not the enemy but my choice, my free will choice.
From my free will, from each moment to every choice, I must choose Jesus Christ 1^st.
My free will calls me to many things, God calls me to His peace through obedience.
From moment to free will choice, I decide to follow after Jesus, His Way, His Truth, His Life!

John 15:1-11

I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. 2 Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. 3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. 4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.

9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [[a]continue in His love with Me]. 10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. 11 I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

If I stay abiding in Christ, then my peace is stable because His life in me makes it so
I can see that the fruit of my relationship with Jesus, the constancy of it is the strength of my inner peace.
Truly too, His Word is such a strength to me and His precepts do remain with me as a constant motivation from my moments to my choices.
Omnipresent Reality Checks Are Good! I need to stay in God's Presence if I want peace. I need to obey His Will for Me.
Frustration and chaos come when I think I can do things on my own without God. When I want my way and I chase after it, I do end up without God's peace.
From my every moment abiding in Christ to my next choice, I can have the guidance and peace of Jesus. He is my Way-Maker

Psalm 29:1-11

ASCRIBE TO the Lord, O sons of the mighty, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 2Give to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness or in holy array. 3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon many (great) waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox. 7 The voice of the Lord splits and flashes forth forked lightning. 8 The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness tremble; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord makes the hinds bring forth their young, and His voice strips bare the forests, while in His temple everyone is saying, Glory! 10 The Lord sat as King over the deluge; the Lord [still] sits as King [and] forever! 11 The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

The Truth and Voice Of God is more powerful than every tempting thought, every discouraging word, every situation where life has gone down a disparaging path. God's truth, His Voice breaks all bondages and brings peace.
In the face of Chaos, God's Word is majestic, in the face of lawlessness and the horrible consequences of sin upon our world, God's Voice is restoration and peace.
I would be a fool not to listen to God's Voice, not to hear His Word everyday because it is the foundation of my inner peace!

Take my heart, Lord, will you take my heart, as I surrender to Your Will.

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.

Praying for the lost- it must be intentional! We need to hear God's heart on Salvation. His heart passion is huge for those who do not know Him, for those whose destiny for heaven is yet unfulfilled. Wednesday, is my Most Wanted Day. I look around at the people I have divinely by God's Kingdom Purpose, crossed life-paths with, those who do not know Jesus and I put them on my "Most Wanted List" I pray for them, for God to draw them to His Salvation, for them to accept Jesus Christ. With every breathe I take on Wednesday Most Wanted Day, I hope for the lost to come to Jesus. Join with me! Start Your Most Wanted List and pray, pray for the lost! This will spiritually motivate you, listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VylpvSEcBtE #tworship #prayer @worldprayr

Beware not to be swindled to get all you can get without the responsible accountability that accompanies your free will! Excerpt From Bridegroom's Voice http://ow.ly/6v7ir

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

I hope I didn't sound "callous" last night in responding to the subject of workaholism with you, because I can see how painful this is for you. But personally I've just learned from the Lord to not be consumed by it anymore. It was literally causing me health problems, and two people being consumed (2 wrongs) don't make it right. Is this the ideal way to live, to have a marriage be? No. Is this my choice? No. So I've had to let it go and any time I take it back, I am 100% miserable for days. It reminds me of what it says in Genesis, which I learned was me trying to be in control. Unfortunately, this is the "norm" in marriages as I learned when counseling, where husbands often don't take biblical leadership, are consumed with work, and allow their wives to take leadership. The only one happy about this is satan.

Genesis 3:16

To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

Another verses God used that I mentioned to you is:

Proverbs 27:22

Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will not remove their folly from them.

Proverbs 9:7-9:

Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you.

9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.

Though it doesn't sound very kind to say our husbands are "fools" or "mockers", but reality is, when they neglect their marriages and families, and put their jobs on the throne of their lives, biblically, this is truth. A mocker knows the truth of God's Word, but lives his own life, while claiming to be a believer and Christ follower. They don't want to hear our words and can literally "hate" us, which makes things worse. And a fool who doesn't live God's ways will never be changed by anyone but the Lord.
