AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage

Today, It is my, Kimberly Ann McCarthy, passion that He, Jesus Christ must increase in me by having His Way in Me and I must decrease by yielding my earthly expectations to Him and submitting to His Heavenly Plan for my life

Colossians 1:9-11

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[a] 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,

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

I pray this scripture for all of us today. Strengthen the Body of Christ, strengthen Your Bride Jesus by Your wisdom and understanding by Your Holy Spirit. Jesus may we live out today, a life worthy of YOU, being people who please You from moment to choice. Strengthen us Jesus that we might have great endurance and patience with the foolishness of our culture and the folly of those who speak out of deceit.

Sometimes even now I get so tired of people and the foolish things they say, but I have no idea what true persecution would be like, I pray Lord Jesus for endurance to not swerve from my course, which is YOU. Holy Spirit guide me, teach me and train me, I do want to be one who in the last days of lawlessness, disorder and chaos calls upon the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

People who have turned their ears from Jesus will spout foolishness and my choice, my response can't be in defense of God. God does not need me to defend Him, His Word stands on its own. When I take up a defensive stand, I have no peace. Followship is the way to peace.

The intercessory work of the saint through prayer is the work behind the scenes, the silent ministry that the world knows little of, yet more powerful than any weapon on earth unleashing power from above that makes demons tremble! Worthy Email

Proverbs 13:16 A commonsense person lives good sense; fools litter the country with silliness.

Folly-Endurance You Version Note

People engrained in counter cultural foolishness say the most aggravating things. We need the patience and endurance of God in this world! Or should I leave you out of it and say I NEED the patience and endurance of Jesus Christ. Sometimes I get so tired of people and the foolish things that they say, but I truly have no idea what true persecution would be like. I pray Lord Jesus for Your endurance to keep me, to help me not swerve from my course, which is YOU, Your Holy Spirit and Your Truth. Holy Spirit guide me! Holy Spirit teach and train me in patient endurance, in knowing that this is all on YOU, You have got this. Jesus strengthen the Body of Christ in Your wisdom and understanding. I pray we will live out today, a life worthy of YOU, being your Bride who seeks to please You, out of love for You from moment to choice. Strengthen us Jesus that we might have great, unshakeable endurance and patience with the foolishness of our culture and the folly of those who arrogantly speak out deceit. Jesus may our endurance and patience be held up by Your Spirit, Your Truth, Your Love. So Be It! AMEN!

Psalm 32: 6-10 For this [forgiveness] let everyone who is godly pray--pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely when the great waters [of trial] overflow, they shall not reach [the spirit in] him.7 You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!8 I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.9 Be not like the horse or the mule, which lack understanding, which must have their mouths held firm with bit and bridle, or else they will not come with you.10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on the Lord shall be compassed about with mercy and with loving-kindness.

Amplified Bible

Psalm 5:8-12

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way level (straight and right) before my face.9 For there is nothing trustworthy or steadfast or truthful in their talk; their heart is destruction [or a destructive chasm, a yawning gulf]; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter and make smooth with their tongue. 10 Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own designs and counsels; cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.11 But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits.12 For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor).

Amplified Bible

Marriage is a team effort that sees outstanding outcomes when you are both on the same page of love and obedience to Christ. Boyd Bailey

Notes From Joyce Meyer TV program

Joyce Meyer TV Show Notes

Stay Ahead Of The Devil. You have to learn to stay one step ahead of the devil's temptation.

Pray for maturity and growth. In Him no matter what happens we can behave the same in hard times as good times.

It is not about how you feel but how you behave. Joyce Meyer

We must control our behavior because people are watching our lives not our bumper stickers. Joyce Meyer

We have to conquer the enemies of our flesh.

Matthew 6:15 Lead us not into temptation. We fall into rather than conqueror, because we don't pray that when we are tempted that we don't fall into temptation.

What are your weaknesses, pray about these so you won't fall into them, being tempted by them.

I know that temptation will come my way, so I am praying now to recognize it immediately when it starts so I won't fall into temptation.

Luke 22:40 Jesu sprayed through resisting the temptation. VS 46 Why are you sleeping? Pray so you don't enter into temptation.

We don't overcome because we don't pray when we are tempted. We can't pray the temptation away, it is a part of life, we can pray we won't enter into it.

James 1:12 Blessed is he who endures!

From Tragedy to Perseverance. There is a treasure in this trial. Lord strengthen me to be the woman you want me to be in this trial.

God please change me. We want other people to change so they will stop bothering us-God wants us to change and let Him change them. Joyce Meyer

God wants to change us from the inside out, but when we don't respond to His Holy Spirit, the outside presses in and crushes our flesh.

My determined purpose is to know God and His power not to get rid of my problems. Joyce Meyer

It is our trials that tempt us to do things and act in ways we should not.

Satan uses trials to push us to do things out of our weak areas, things we don't want to do. Yet God won't take away the trial-He wants us to grow through-experience our weakness being strengthened by Him

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before." Joel 2:23 NIV

Sound the alarm! The day of the Lord is coming, it is close at hand. Like dawn spreading across the mountains. Not swerving from their course, they do not jostle one another. The earth shakes, the skies tremble, the stars no longer shine. Mighty are those who obey God's command. Who can endure the Day of the Lord- return to me with fasting, rend Your heart. Return to the Lord, He is compassionate, He relents. Call a fast, gather the people, weep and repent. Spare your people Oh Lord, do not make Your inheritance an object of scorn. Why should they say Where is Your God and the Lord will have compassion. Never again will I make you an object of scorn. Surely He has done great things, do not be afraid… the open pastures will become green, the fig tree will provide you riches. God sends abundant showers, the fleshing floors will be full of grain He will repay us for the years the locust has eaten. You will have plenty and You will praise the name of GOD Who will work wonders for you. Never again will my people be ashamed I will poor out my spirit and your sons and daughters will prophesize. Your young men shall dream dreams… I will show wonders, the sun will be turned to darkness, the moon to blood and everyone Who calls on the Lord will be saved.

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Kimberly, in this day and age, when you can feel the winds of spiritual warfare swirling all around – when faith will be tested to the extreme – my prayer is that you will stand perfect and complete in the will of God! With so much work to be done, and so many of us under severe attack, never neglect the power of prayer – for this silent ministry counts so much more than you may realize, not only here on earth-- but also, where it really counts...in heaven!

talk it up! twitter

Jesus, increase in me-I give you my expectations-I submit to Your plan for today. Make me what YOU want me to be. @worldprayr #prayer

Strengthen us Jesus W/endurance-patience for the foolishness of our culture-the folly of those who speak out of deceit.@worldprayr

Sometimes people say things that are just so foolish in the LIGHT of the WISDOM of God that I can't even respond. Silence is best. LET GOD!

@Kmac4him SO agree, learned that the hard way... :) wisdom is a precious gift, when to pour and when to clam up from @librTBellstbls

PS 32: 8 I [the Lord] will instruct you- teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you

The human condition is held in peace only through a holy alliance with God. No inner peace? What are you aligned with? http://ow.ly/6v7ir

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.

Page 56 in Seeking God in the Psalms By Boyd Bailey

Psalm 32:1-2

BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is he who has forgiveness of his transgression continually exercised upon him, whose sin is covered.2 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Amplified Bible

Forgiveness is full of blessing. The blessing of guilt's removal is a fruit of forgiveness. Boyd Bailey

The freedom to follow God's will, passionately and unashamedly, is fueled by daily forgiveness. Boyd Bailey

Forgiveness takes away the stain of selfishness and dyes it with service. Boyd Bailey

When we justify our bad attitudes-behavior without repenting, we get into a crazy cycle of self sufficiency. Boyd Bailey

Unconditional forgiveness is freeing. Indeed, one reason you forgive others is for your own sake. Otherwise, unforgiving relationships cause a root of bitterness to go deep into your heart and rob you of joy. Avoid withholding forgiveness to hurt others. Instead you get hurt. Let go and give to God your unfair friend, insensitive superfisor, proud parent, uncaring spouse or selfish child. Pray for them to be healed and you will be healed. Forgiveness does this, it heals the soul with eternities' elixir. Boyd Bailey

Let go and give God the hurt. Forgiveness does this: heals the soul with eternities' elixir. Boyd Bailey

John 5:24-25 Inner Peace! YouVersion Note!

Hear the voice of God and live! I love the Sovereign authority, promise and hope in this verse. It settles any chaos in my spirit and with Sovereign Authority ushers in God's perfect peace. No Doubt About It! God's voice always brings inner peace to my soul. When my spirit is disabled by anxiety and my peace muddied by the cultural conflict around me all day, God's Word always restores to my soul a purified and renewed inner peace. The wisest thing I can do for my inner peace is to hear and listen to God's Voice of Truth every single day, because this is how my inner peace stays stabilized and firmly set in the Kingdom authority, purpose, power, promise and provision of my AWE-GOD!

***************Day SIX… #6 Of Week Three ********************

Tue. Sept. 20- 201 1 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 3

Oh I have learned that lesson. A true peace stealer! Walking by the light of a fire kindled by my own hand. It burns out quickly.

Self-made men have temporary peace, that flares out quickly, going out with anger and frustration

Independence breeds arrogance, Dependence yields inner peace, stability and grows a humility that is life saving.

A Holy Alliance with God, heart to heart is the strength that feeds my weakness with God's power.

There is no inner peace in an unholy alliance with human strength. We were created to need our God

Fickle wisdom fizzles out in frustration. There is no stability in the wisdom of this culture.

Culturalism fabricates a short lived will-power that can't stand through the tests of time and does not hold its peace.

The human condition is held in peace only through a holy alliance with God. No inner peace? What are you aligned with?

John 5:24-25

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life.25 Believe Me when I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the time is coming and is here now when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it shall live.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

Hear the voice of God and live! Not only live, but live with the inner peace God lavishes upon those who are His.
I need to listen to God's Voice, God's Truth every single day, opening my ears to it. In this my inner peace is stabilized! http://ow.ly/6v7ir
When my spirit is feeling disabled-my peace shattered, I can hear the Voice of God and be restored!
God's Word brings eternal life to those who are dead, peace to those who have none. Wake Up! Receive Christ! The Word Of God!
There is so much promise in this verse when You hear God say: the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and live. What peace it brings. It settles things. AWE-GOD!
The Sovereign authority and promise of God's word is a great establisher of inner peace. AWE-GOD!

2 Timothy 4:1-8

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

I think the key to our inner peace is the very words that this verse starts out with: In The Presence of God and of Jesus Christ. We can't do this life without God's Presence and without Jesus in our heart, there is no real peace.

How do we "keep our head" in the midst of hardship? We seek the mind of Jesus Christ, for in His thoughts, there is great peace.

Taking our focus off of this season of our lives and putting it on the hope of our future in Christ Jesus gives us such inner peace.

If I want to fight the good fight of faith, I need to grasp tightly to my future and hope in Christ's Kingdom. This is my peace- my strength to persevere!

This is the generation of the self-made man who walks by the light of a man made fire! It will burn out. http://ow.ly/6v7ir

Unholy alliance W/ human strength-the fickle wisdom of this culture, fabricates a short-lived will-power-not persevering in nature. http://ow.ly/6v7ir

leadership wisdom from Ron edmondston blog

Just because you fix a problem from your perspective, doesn't mean you've solved the problem in the eyes of those you lead. Ron Edmonson

I should attempt to understand the real problem from other's perspective and what solving that problem would even look like. At that point, I can determine whether I can truly solve the problem to their satisfaction. Sometimes I'll be able to and sometimes not, but everyone should at least know what's considered resolution to the problem. That keeps me from spending time and resources attempting to fix a problem I can never solve. As leaders we need to learn how to move from fixing the problem to solving the problem from our perspective.

****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.

Jesus be with Tina today, I pray that YOU would strengthen her with endurance, peace and YOUR stability in her inner personality. Jesus. Help this school of students as they grieve the loss of their Physical Education teacher. Be with them in comfort. Be with the twin boys who lost mother and father, comfort them Jesus, be with the families Jesus draw them to YOUR strength and hope. Jesus.

Father be with Bob today, help him to LET GO and LET YOU Work. Holy Spirit whisper this wisdom into his heart today. Strengthen him physically and emotionally. Jesus.

Father give Peg and Zeljko, Your wisdom on their decisions for their future. Give them YOUR discernment and be their favor. Open the doors that man cannot open, the way that man cannot see, Only YOU. Jesus. Be their door opening. Jesus.

Father be with Ed Fernandez today, make YOUR WAY for him, be His Way-Maker Jesus, His provision and his peace.

Psalms 94 ~ The Message Bible

^12-15 How blessed the man you train, God, the woman you instruct in your Word, Providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil, while a jail is being built for the wicked. God will never walk away from his people, never desert his precious people. Rest assured that justice is on its way and every good heart put right.

What an amazing promise that is! God will never walk away from us. Never. He will work all things out towards His perfect justice for us. In the midst of outer chaos, God will provide a circle of inner quiet for us by His Spirit in us.

Travel Temptations

"My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon." Proverbs 7:19-20

How do you deal with temptations when you travel? Conversely, what is your behavior when you are the spouse left back at home? Is your house a palace of peace, or a prison of confinement? Not only must the weary traveler be wary of wrong behavior, but so must the one left 'holding down the fort' at home. Perhaps as a couple you craft together guidelines defining what you will, and will not do while separated by travel. Distance can grow the heart fonder and more faithful, or it can fire the flames of lust and infidelity. If you travel for your work, you most likely are motivated to meet the needs of your family. However, every assignment is for a season. So, maybe it's time to get off the road and reconnect with your child who is approaching their teenage years, or be there more often for your spouse because she is starved for extra emotional support. Always be willing to adjust to the situation.

Moreover, do not drift into travel temptations that become divisive and deteriorate your marriage. One boundary may be to avoid bars and be back at your room soon after work and dinner. A righteous routine on the road gets the right results. Make it a priority when at all possible to travel with another person of similar values.

Always be bold by becoming an influencer of integrity: good, clean fun without flirting with sin. On the other hand, your role in the marriage may be to daily support the children and manage the home. Take pride and not pity during this season of unselfish service. By God's grace you are molding their minds to the things of Christ, and how they can influence the culture with His Kingdom priorities.

You are as valuable as the one out working to provide for the family, since you are working to preserve the family. Stay occupied in prayer, bible study, their school and being available for those who need you. Marriage is a team effort that sees outstanding outcomes when you are both on the same page of love and obedience to Christ. Travel temptations are terminated on both ends through trust in the Lord, and trust in each other.

The Bible says, "He trusts in the LORD; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him" (Psalm 22:8).

What behavioral boundaries do I need to co-create with my spouse related to our time apart?
