AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage

Followship will be my heart's desire as I purposefully and diligently pursue Your Kingdom plan-purposes and deny my selfishness.

Psalm 145:3

God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness.

My promised Bride, your insecurity is causing you to be tossed back and forth between My wisdom and your understanding- this will be a turbulent ride for your mind. Kimberlymac Excerpt From The Bridegroom's Voice

Following Jesus is a transition from distrust to trust—fear to faith—insecurity to security—selfish to selfless—hell to heaven—lost to found—isolation to community—getting to giving and scarcity living to abundant living. Boyd Bailey http://wisdomhunters.com

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

Psalm 143:9-11

Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you. 10 Teach me to do your will,

for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Hear our prayer Lord. Listen to our cry for mercy. In your faithfulness be our relief. The enemy pursues us, crushes us to the grown. Our heart is dismayed. Meditate on all God's Work, open our hands to you. Our soul thirsts for you. Our spirit faints with longing. Let the morning bring word of Your unfailing love. Rescue us from our enemies. Hide yourself in God. For Your namesake preserve our lives. In your righteousness bring us out. Faithfulness and righteousness are our relief. No one is righteous before God. Our spirit grow faint within us. Answer us Lord God. Do not hide your face from us. Let the morning bring your unfailing love, I put my trust in You. I lift up my soul to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Preserve my life in Your Righteousness. IN your unfailing love silence my enemies for I am Your Servant. Jesus.

Excerpts-Thoughts From The Bridegroom's Voice

Thur Sept 8 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 2

Jesus I pray my 1^st call will be to You, today and everyday.
Subdue my selfish nature, quiet my questions and help me to pursue Your Will
Total surrender, nothing less, this is what I hope huge for. Let my human condition be under Your control Jesus!
Questioning God shows my need for a "completely"!
To know you past my questioning heart, I must rise above my doubts, fears, fleshly attitudes and fully face You, Lord God. So be it!

Hebrews 6:13-20

For when God made [His] promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, 14 Saying, Blessing I certainly will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you. 15 And so it was that he [Abraham], having waited long and endured patiently, realized and obtained [in the birth of Isaac as a pledge of what was to come] what God had promised him. 16 Men indeed swear by a greater [than themselves], and with them in all disputes the oath taken for confirmation is final [ending strife]. 17 Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath. 18 This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us]. 19 [Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot [a]break down under whoever steps out upon it--a hope] that reaches [b]farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil, 20 Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with [c]the rank) of Melchizedek.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

My AWE-GOD is unchangeable in His faithfulness, trustworthiness and beyond any doubtful questions is where my relationship with Him should be.
Hoping in God will anchor my soul in trust.
When I find myself questioning God with a doubtful attitude, I need to increase my hope in Him, let go of my personal expectations and anchor my soul to His Powerful Holy Spirit.
What is so unchangeable about my AWE-GOD? His faithfulness to Goodness. He is Infinitely Good!
God's Goodness Is A Great Anchor For Our Soul In Times Like These! How Faithful He Is! How Good He Is To Us!
Hope Huge In God! Pray for His strength of faith to fill your heart, dispel all questions and believe completely in Him! AWE-GOD!
We have the strong Word of God, His Oath spoken in purposeful Kingdom promises backed up with His Infinite Power! AWE-GOD! We are so blessed!

What if the greatest disappointments and aching of this life is a revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy. What if the hardest nights, trials and tears are Your Mercies in disquise.

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Kimberly, be still!

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

In one passage in John, Mary and Martha come running to Jesus, asking Him to heal Lazarus, who was critically ill. Since Lazaruswas a good friend of Jesus, I'm sure they were expecting that Jesus would come immediately to his aid. The scripture says, however, that Jesus stayed two more days in the place where He was. It was in those two days that Lazarus died.

It's so hard to understand why it is that God waits to do the things we ask of Him. It's good for us to remember, though, that He has His purposes for waiting. God was about to teach everyone involved a much deeper lesson here. As Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He made sure they all understood that He is the resurrection and the life for all who believe.

God has His perfect timing for everything under heaven. You may be waiting for God to intervene in some area of your life. You may have been begging and pleading with God for years on that particular thing. But we can relax and know that God's timing is perfect. We never know what God is doing behind the scenes, in order that our joy would be made full. Remember that He knows best what would bless us most and He is working all things for those of us who love Him and are called according to His purposes.

Kimberly, relax. God is in control. He has greater things for you than what you could ask or think!

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

Waiting on God is the hardest thing to conqueror in Christianity, it so clashes with our human condition. I have to keep reminding myself of God's "purpose principle"! God always has a better purpose in every situation I am in, that is why His timing is perfect and my harried impulsiveness is lacking. I have anchor myself in the truth that "God's Got This" or my impulsive nature will pay forward in a dead ended discouragement. I need to train myself to trust God, to give God time to Work. Sit Down Impulsive Nature! Let God Work! God is in control and He can do things that I could not even begin to hope for or image!

Pride's Downfall

But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. 2 Chronicles 26:16

Lust for power is as insidious as it sounds. It is a dysfunctional drive that demands blind loyalty with nothing in return. Power hungry leaders are insensitive and short sighted as they take whatever means are necessary to accomplish their egocentric ends. They become entangled in their own web of wanting more control and find themselves trapped in a malaise of manipulation.

Power hungry leaders are insensitive-short sighted and find themselves trapped in a malaise of manipulation. Boyd Bailey http://wisdomhunters.com

Power has built-in arrogance that needs to be confronted with honesty, humility and truth. Moreover, it is unnatural for the spiritually minded to need power. They give it away to avoid greedily getting more. The devil used the promise of power to tempt Christ, however Jesus knew that Satan's temptation was a ploy that appealed to His pride.

"Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only''" (Matthew 4:8-10).

Indeed, the lust for power does not exclude any industry or organization: politics, religion, business and ministry all have to deal with the stewardship of power and responsibility. So, how do you manage power or does it manage you? Only when you give it away are you free from its control. The more influence and authority you have the more wisdom and accountability you need from the Lord and trusted advisors.

You cannot keep power in its proper place without the principles of God's Word prescribing your behavior. This is why it is extremely easy to work for a boss with character. You trust them and you believe they have yours and the company's best interests in mind. This is why in marriage a woman can trust and follow a man of conviction, because she believes in him and trusts him to be accountable to God.

Furthermore, if you apply humility to your heart, power will not go to your head. Just as pride comes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18), humility comes before promotion by God. Therefore, use power as an excuse for persistent prayer and honest feedback. Give it away—for then it loses its prideful control and you avoid an embarrassing downfall.

"For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" (Luke 14:11).

How can I stay accountable as a servant leader and not follow pride's downfall?

Psalm 10:4

Because he is proud, that evil person doesn't turn to the Lord. There is no room for God in any of his thoughts.

Proverbs 8:13

To have respect for the Lord is to hate evil. I hate pride and bragging. I hate evil ways and twisted words.

Isaiah 2:11-17

Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be humbled. Only the Lord will be exalted on that day of judgment. 12 For the Lord of Heaven's Armies has a day of reckoning. He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted.

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

We have to guard our hearts! The devil uses the promise of power to tempt us, to entice our prideful human condition. One way to guard our hearts from pride is to make room for God in our thoughts. Words get all twisted up by pride. Pride exaggerates, pride lies, pride focuses all our words on ourselves, pride twists our words with cockiness, pride twists our words with sarcasam, critizism, irony. Twisted Words Oh Lord May They Be Far From Me Today! Nothing can stay lifted higher than God, pride always falls, God is always exalted. Human arrogance has no staying power, trumped by the Light of God's Omnipotence it is always humbled down to the dust.

James 1:13-15

Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions).15 Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death.

Amplified Bible (AMP)

****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 hold Kim Brown in Your Healing Hands. I pray Your Presence will be a place of refuge and strength for her today.

Father Be with Elagrew today heal his body, be his complete peace. Hold Elagrew Jesus in Your healing hands. Jesus!

Lord touch Freda, heal her body, restore her strength by Your Spirit

Father Touch David, heal his heart, strengthen it and keep it pure of plaque. Teach him a spiritual application.

A Minute With Maxwell

Attraction:

Most of us want to be attractive but we misunderstand how. Way too much emphasis on physical and way too little on attitude. Most attractive people have an attractive attitude. It is expansive in care and have positive attitudes. Beauty is only skin deep, but beneath that beauty the inner soul, the life that wants to help. It is the spirit that makes someone attractive. You are not limited at all on the inside attractiveness. Work on the inside and it will seep to the outside and make you attractive.

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

I agree! The most attractive person ever was Jesus Christ and ever is attracting all to Him. Jesus's attractiveness flows from His heart, the abundant passion, the deep devotion of caring He has for us. He is attractive one on one and attractive in a corporate crowd, because He exudes the life of His Father God. The image of the Father was so brilliant in Jesus from the inside out; especially after His quiet moments in the wilderness as He poured out His heart to the Father and received from God more than He could ever hope for or imagine in strength and peace. So I believe in order for me to be attractive, Jesus needs to rise up in me and I need to be a reflection of all things Kingdom Good! Also, I believe a huge hope in God, a complete trust in His Ways, a clinging to His Promises makes us very attractive to this world we live in!

Influence:

Influence is intentional and it adds value to other people. Influence is what we all want and need and helps you be a better leader. Title or position? No not really. Not really who they are or what they have attained. Influence is every day doing your best to help people add value to them. The people who influence you are people who care for you and intentionally deposit goodness in your life. If you want to be people of influence than get intentional about adding value to other people.

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

Very True! God is the greatest influence in my life. He truly cares about me in a HUGE way and in those gentle whispers of His Holy Spirit. He is the main influence in my life. I can also be His Influence in others lives as I step into each moment and chose from moment to choice to put others first, to care for them and be God's intentional encouragement in their lives. AWE-GOD!

John 14 ~ The Message Bible

^15-21"If you love me, show it by doing what I've told you. I will talk to the Father, and he'll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can't take him in because it doesn't have eyes to see him, doesn't know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you! The person who knows my commandments and keeps them, that's who loves me. "And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and make myself plain to him."

Band of Brothers 3.5 minutes. Thank you all for your continued faithfulness!

Get together with others, engage in life together. Ecc 4:9-12 If you are by yourself, you can get taken out pretty easily. The prey is always in a group and when the predator comes, the lone straggler who is out by themselves is the one the predator always goes after. Pray through who would God have for you to have the two or three women who would love you and encourage you and notice your blind spots to say something to you to keep you in Holy Alignment in Christ. Invest in a band of brothers and sisters today.

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

Pray for me that I could find that here in Georgia. I am alone all the time. I need to find a way to meet people. I guess I need God to be my Way-Maker in this. Thanks for the encouragement. I need the push in this direction to get out here in Georgia and find that band of sisters God has for me here. I really like what you said about being engaged in life together, that sticks with me! Thank you for the Wimbish God Wisdom! Enjoy your day!

When you speak God's Truth and people unfollow you because it breaches their rationalization, as God's Truth always does, the cool thing is that God does not unfollow them; He will prove His Truth to them. Prayer Works! Never Stop Praying For People Who Are Deceived. God Will Show Them His Truth!

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Wow, if it wasn't for people, wouldn't church be great!!! I know how unsettling all that is... Wow.... I guess we all are so different and it is tough dealing with personalities and ways of doing things. Actually I stopped putting people up on a pedestal a long time ago, the worst hurt of my Christian life came from a pastor. And it took me years to grow through it. Even to this day, if I hear his name, I still cringe on the inside. I just decided not to base my followship of God on people. People buzz around us all day and they do dumb and stupid things, it is the human condition.... and at times I do dumb and stupid things too... I can stay focused on God's plan for me and the Kingdom work He has for me despite living here in Nineveh! I do get so sick and tired of church politics and all the human doings that totally mess with our heads, but where God asks me to go and what God asks me to do, whether it be volunteer or work, whatever it is, I do unto Him. People, no matter who they are or what title they have will answer to God, they are not exempt. He wants me here, that is all that matters, His purposes are not always very clear, but in our followship, He is clear and easy to follow. I don't like it here, I don't want to be here, but God's Purposes, being in the flow of them, trumps all of my feelings. Like today God asked me to write an exhortation, I had to obey Him. In writing that I lost two friends. But God said to write it, I had to obey. It is fun being an exhorter at times, but at other times it is not, but both times God says: follow. Followship has its ups and downs, its rights and wrongs, its fairness and injustices but the common denominator Jesus Christ, He is pretty awesome... So hang your "rights" up on His "Kingdom Coat Rack" and step out and follow wherever He leads... because in that there is peace that surpasses all the hurts that "human doing" of other people around you brings.

Have You Bowed? Bow B4 God! Surrender All Your Life For His Purity-Holiness-Truth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ1Hlrs1Fck #tworship

Love Our Holy-Pure-Magnificent AWE-GOD With A Complete Obedience To His Will, His Way, His Truth.

God's Word Is Holy! Respect It! Don't Change It – Diminish It – Rationalize It So You Can Live Comfortably With Your Sin.

Asking for tolerance is not about me, it is your self-indulgent nature wanting to live in your comfort zone of sin.

Father God I pray for my friends who have been deceived and are wrongfully applying Your Truth for their specific comfort and tolerance. Jesus speak the truth to them, prove Your truth to them and set them free from the grip of deceit. Open their eyes to YOUR Truth. Jesus. So Be It. Deliver them from the father of lies.
