Week Of Fasting And Prayer

Make My Life Willess Today, Less Of All Things Me, More Of YOU !

ALL IN With All Things Of Your Kingdom,

Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage And Strength

Great God! Great awe-God traveling Adventure!

You are in the middle of a transition and nothing is going to "feel" the same. I AM the same. Don't lean on your understanding or you will fall into confusion. Be patient with me, I AM setting up this "new thing" and you are growing through the transition of it. Give me time to work out my purposes into your understanding. I am setting up this new season of life and the wise thing for you is not to try to understand, because that eats up your energy that I am trying to replenish and refresh for this season of your life. Give in to ME, let me work and give me time to set up this new season. Sit quietly in your transition time and replenish your soul in worship and the word with a listening heart, fully yielded to My Sovereign Will. Let go of all your preconceived ideas, I am doing a new thing, shall you not know it? Wait!

Don't compare yourself to anyone else and how they live their life. I have only given you My Grace to live yours.

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.

Psalm 44

1  WE HAVE heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us [what] work You did in their days, in the days of old.2  You drove out the nations with Your hand and it was Your power that gave [Israel] a home by rooting out the [heathen] peoples, but [Israel] You spread out.3  For they got not the land [of Canaan] in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance [did it], because You were favorable toward and did delight in them.4  You are my King, O God; command victories and deliverance for Jacob (Israel).5  Through You shall we push down our enemies; through Your name shall we tread them under who rise up against us.6  For I will not trust in and lean on my bow, neither shall my sword save me.7  But You have saved us from our foes and have put them to shame who hate us.8  In God we have made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

My Thoughts About This:

This is how I grew up, in a country made great by God. We worshipped Him, He was our foundation and we were known as a Christian Nation. The nation I have known so well has had God's favor, His power has been with us and He has kept us lifted high above our enemies. This is not the nation I live in now. There is so much disunity caused by fractions of people who do not want to be a nation under God. Laws have been written to keep God out of our lives. People actually have the gall to say that we are not a "Christian Nation". People have turned their backs on the very AWE-GOD Whose favor has kept this nation as a "super power" nation and given this nation great favor. I can see how God can't let this stand and He will move to restore His place in our nation. He will remove His Favor for a season and life in this nation will get very hard.

9  But now You have cast us off and brought us to dishonor, and You go not out with our armies.10  You make us to turn back from the enemy, and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.11  You have made us like sheep intended for mutton and have scattered us in exile among the nations.12  You sell Your people for nothing, and have not increased Your wealth by their price.13  You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are round about us.14  You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the heads among the people.15  My dishonor is before me all day long, and shame has covered my face16  At the words of the taunter and reviler, by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.17  All this is come upon us, yet have we not forgotten You, neither have we been false to Your covenant [which You made with our fathers].18  Our hearts are not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Your path,19  Though You have distressingly broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with deep darkness, even with the shadow of death.20  If we had forgotten the name of our God or stretched out our hands to a strange god,21  Would not God discover this? For He knows the secrets of the heart.22  No, but for Your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 23  Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord? Arouse Yourself, cast us not off forever!24  Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and our oppression?25  For our lives are bowed down to the dust; our bodies cleave to the ground.26  Rise up! Come to our help, and deliver us for Your mercy's sake and because of Your steadfast love!

My Thoughts About This:

This will be our nation, I feel strongly if we don't turn back to God, His favor will be lifted and this will be us. I have felt we were on a path to losing our freedom, a precious liberty that we do take so for granted. We are taking YOU out of everything in our country, so how can we hope to stay in YOUR Favor. You have blessed this country with great God favor and this is what has made us great. Without Your favor we will be an easy prey for our enemies and our national pride will be broken. It will be a sad time, to watch our beloved country go through this, but the end all of Your purposes will be great and great for us. I pray Lord that You keep Your Bride strong as you turn this nation back to YOU. I pray as this Psalmist says: 17 All this is come upon us, yet have we not forgotten You, neither have we been false to Your covenant [which You made with our fathers].18 Our hearts are not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Your path. Make us ready Lord for this year ahead in this country and help us to know in our hearts YOU are with us and you will not withhold Your Favor forever, You will restore us. Prepare the Bride of Christ for a time such as this in our country. Jesus! So Be It!

Psalm 44: 17 All this is come upon us, yet have we not forgotten You, neither have we been false to Your covenant [which You made with our fathers]. 18 Our hearts are not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Your path, 19 Though You have distressingly broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with deep darkness, even with the shadow of death. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or stretched out our hands to a strange god, 21 Would not God discover this? For He knows the secrets of the heart. 22 No, but for Your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

My Thoughts About This:

Undivided In Heart! Keep Us So! Always! Let It Be So Jesus! Persecutions, trials and tests are all saturated in the Kingdom purpose of our AWE-GOD! There is no where His Sovereign Will takes us that His Infinite Love is not holding us. God's Sovereign Will Plays Out In Kingdom Purpose All Around Us, As His Infinite Love Keeps Us! God's Got Us! Our World Is In His Hands! I can't help but feel God is preparing His Bride, His Church, for a season of persecution. Persecution is at its worst when the Favor of God is at its least! I have heard so many people say God is withdrawing His Favor from The United States Of America for a time, a season such as this. If this is so, it will be a very difficult time for us in this country. God's Favor has always been crucial to our success and peace as a nation. Whatever may be, I know my call is 1st to Jesus Christ and His Kingdom and in this being, will be found my doing. I will dig my roots deeper in His Kingdom and cling harder to Him. I don't have a foreboding sense of dread for what may be ahead, because I know God is not changing. My huge hope is in Him. God is the same and He is eternally for His Bride of Christ! God is simply-significantly our enough in all seasons of life. Keeping An Undivided Heart In Times Of Trials, Tests And Persecution Is Key For Me. My Being In Christ, Must Never Be Divided From My Doing, The Two Must Grow Together, Undivided As One Heart Motive Under God. All I Am Being And Doing Must Always Be All In With Almighty God. I must never be without Christ, and I must never do on my own. I will be determined to always be positioned in followship of the Holy Spirit. My 1st choice from moment to decision must always be the right choice, the one for Christ and His Kingdom. My being and doing must come from a heart undivided in its devotion for Jesus Christ, no matter what I am "growing through"; God and His Kingdom must stay as my 1st call, my 1st cause, my 1st occupation. Whatever is happening in my life, I must be determined to always fully face my God, my heart turned completely-continually-consistently-constantly towards Him; every motive wholly aligned with His Kingdom purpose. In every trial, I know that sacrifice of what I want and following after Him, is an investment in His Kingdom. True Salvation Is Always Accompanied By A Dying To Self And Personal Sacrifice Is Always A Great Investment That Is Satisfied And Redeemed In Kingdom Purpose. I may not always be comfortable in my season of life, but I can be content, held by My Prince of Peace. Jesus is my peace! God may break our will as a nation, but He won't break our spirit; as one attribute of God in motion, never cancels out the others. God is good! All of God's attributes work together, undivided in a common purpose for Kingdom good and therefore, every trial, persecution, test we encounter in every season of our life, can be met with the Fullness of our AWE-GOD! Undivided In Heart! So Be It Bride of Christ!

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

AWE-GOD! Transitions are so hard. I really think the Lord is trying to step me up a notch in my growth, because I felt this last time Him asking me to "grow" during this transition and give Him a completely, let Him do it without me holding on to what I wanted. I struggled at 1st but then after a sleepless night, crying and wrestling with God about how insane this seemed to me... I mean we had not been in Georgia that long and we were supposed to have a whole nother year... I just got there, we were finally ministering together, making friends, made a divine appointment with a young soldier's wife... go figure... The only thing I can see is that we were there for one divine appointment and all the rest was cake... This soldier named Gonzalez who Bob took 20 minutes with after one of the services and led him to Christ and he had a visible change in his countenance and there is something about that young man, can't put my finger on it but God's got His hand on Him. So I figure the best thing to do in a transition is to look back at the "heavenly hindsight" keep your mind in praise about all God has done during that time period and look forward with JOY to the next "divine appointment". I am looking at things this way, like we are His missionaries of "divine appointment", He sends us somewhere, maybe not for the crowd as much as for that "one person", that one divine appointment of God destiny. I am trying to remember during transitions to make it a time of Thanksgiving... I call it my TTT = Transition-Thankful-Time and I try to let go of the past, pressing forward with faith so I don't hold on to anything but am ready for the "new thing" God has for me in the next place. I also try to recognize the season I am in What a way to live!! I so miss my home, I so miss my roots... but I kind of think Jesus felt the same way at times, he was human and he probably had to take those thoughts and transform them into thanksgiving too!

If you are going to live with any level of significance, you must pay a high price. Quote By-Pastor Brian Houston

Great God! Great awe-God traveling Adventure!

I need my life to be a blank page so You can write my story, instead of me writing my story. Help me Lord Jesus to get to this blank page. I took a look back last night and saw a lot of Isaiah 50 in my life, where I was kindling the light of my own fire only to end up in torment. I could not sleep last night, I just wanted to be cleansed of this addiction of control I have had in various levels in the different seasons of my life. No control is the best way to live, because You already have control, yet You do not breach our free will. My will takes control, You back off, I am willess, You flow in me and through me with the fullness of God!

Isaiah 49: 3 And [the Lord] said to me, You are My servant, Israel [you who strive with God and with men and prevail], in whom I will be glorified. Then I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and in empty futility; yet surely my right is with the Lord, and my recompense is with my God.

Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him. -- A. W. Tozer

Streams In The Desert Page 58

Isaiah 49: 2 And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand has He hid me and made me a polished arrow; in His quiver has He kept me close and concealed me.

Excerpts From Book: Streams In The Desert By L.B. Cowman

In the shadow, each of us must go there sometime. But fear not! It is the shadow of God's Hand. He is leading you, and there are lessons that can be learned only where He leads. L.B. Cowman

 

The photograph of God's face can only be developed in the dark room. L.B. Cowman

Don't think God has pushed you aside, you are still in His quiver. He keeps you nearby till the moment comes when He can send you quickly and confidently on some mission that will bring Him glory

In some realms of nature, shadows or darkness are the places of greatest growth. The evening primrose will not open in the noonday sun but only reveals its beauty as the shadows of the evening grow longer. L. B. Cowman

If all our lives were sunshine - Our face would long to gain - And feel once more upon it- The cooling splash of rain. Henry Jackson Van Dyke

The Knowledge Of The Holy By A.W.Tozer

Chapter 15 The Faithfulness Of God- Excerpts

It is a good thing to give thanks unto Thee and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High, to show forth Thy loving-kindness in the morning and Thy faithfulness every night.

God is faithful to us, His earthly brethren; and in this knowledge we press on with every confident hope for all the years and centuries yet to come. AMEN! A. W. Tozer

God's attributes are not isolated traits of His character but facets of his unitary being.

God's attributes are aspects of a perfect whole, names give to whatever we know to be true of the Godhead.

To have a correct understanding of the attributes of God, it is necessary that we see them all as one. We can think of them separately but they cannot be separated.

All theology is said to be established in a circle, because one of God's attributes is affirmed of another . Nicholas of Cusa

If God is self-existent He must be also self-sufficient; and if He has power He, being infinite, must have all power. A. W. Tozer

If God possesses knowledge, His infinitude assures us that He possesses all knowledge.

God's immutability presupposes His faithfulness. If He is unchanging, if follows that He could not be unfaithful, since that would require Him to change.

The Attributes of God explain each other and prove that they are but glimpses the mind enjoys of the absolutely perfect Godhead. A. W.Tozer

All of God's acts are consistent with all of His attributes. No attribute contradicts any other, but all harmonize and blend into each other in the infinite abyss of the Godhead. A.W.Tozer

All that God does agrees with all that God is, and being and doing are one in Him. A.W.Tozer

"The familiar picture of God as often torn between His justice and His mercy is altogether false to the facts. To think of God as inclining first toward one and then toward the other of His attributes is to imagine a God who is unsure of Himself, frustrated and emotionally unstable, which of course is to say that the one of whom we are thinking is not the true God at all but a weak, mental reflection of Him badly out of focus." A.W. Tozer Excerpt From The Knowledge of The Holy

God, being who He is, cannot cease to be what He is, and being what He is, He cannot act of character with Himself.

God is at once faithful and immutable, so all His words and acts must be and must remain faithful. Men become unfaithful out of desire, fear, weakness, loss of interest, or because of some strong influence from without. Obviously none of these forces can affect God in any way. He is His own reason for all He is and does. God cannot be compelled from without, but ever speaks and acts from within Himself by His own sovereign will as it pleases Him. A.W. Tozer Excerpt From The Knowledge of The Holy

Almost every heresy that has afflicted the church through the years has arisen from believing about God things that are not true. A. W. Tozer

To magnify any attribute of God to the exclusion of another is to head straight for one of the dismal swamps of theology. A.W. Tozer

The Bible teaches that God is love; some have interpreted this in such a way as virtually to deny that He is just, which the Bible also teaches. A. W. Tozer

We press the Biblical doctrine of God's goodness so far that it is made to contradict His Holiness. Or they make His compassion cancel out His truth. A. W. Tozer

Still others understand the Sovereignty of God in a way that destroys or at least greatly diminishes His goodness and love.

We can hold a correct view of Truth only by daring to believe everything God has said about Himself. A. W. Tozer

It is a grave responsibility that a man takes upon himself when he seeks to edit out of God's self-revelation such features as he in his ignorance deems objectionable. A. W. Tozer

We need not fear to let the truth stand as it is written. There is no conflict among the divine attributes. A. W. Tozer

God cannot divide Himself and act at a given time from one of His attributes while the rest remain unactive. A. W. Tozer

The faithfulness of God is a datum of sound theology, but to the believer it becomes far more than that: it passes through the processes of the understanding and goes on to become nourishing food for the soul. For the scriptures not only teach truth, they show also its uses for mankind. The inspired writers were men of like passion with us, dwelling in the midst of life. What they learned about God became to them a sword, a shield, a hammer, it became their life motivation, their good hope, and their confident expectation. A. W. Tozer Excerpt From Book: Knowledge Of The Holy

All that God is must accord with all that God does. Justice must be present in mercy, and love in judgement. A. W. Tozer

Apocalypse Christ is seen astride a white horse riding toward His triumph, and the names He bears are Faithful and True. A. W. Tozer

From the beginning belief in the perfection of God brought sweet assurance to believing men and taught the ages to sin. A. W. Tozer

Upon God's faithfulness rests our whole hope of future blessedness. Only as He is faithful will His covenants stand and His promises be honored. A. W. Tozer

Only as we have complete assurance that God is faithful may we live in peace and look forward with assurance to the life to come. A. W. Tozer

The tempted, the anxious, the fearful, the discouraged may all find new hope and good cheer in the knowledge that our Heavenly Father is faithful. He will ever be true to His pledged word. A. W. Tozer

The hard-pressed sons of the covenant may be sure that God will never remove His loving-kindness from them nor suffer His faithfulness to fail. A.W. Tozer

Happy the man whose hopes rely on Israel's God; He made the sky, and the earth, and seas, with all their train; His truth forever stands secure; He saves the oppressed, He feeds the poor, And none shall find His promise vain. Issac Watts

My Thoughts-Prayers About The Above Excerpts From A. W. Tozer As I Listen To The Holy Spirit:

Amazing just how much we diminish our AWE-GOD with our foolish human understanding. We try to compartmentalize a Great God, Who is fully, completely, perfectly whole! The sad thing is we do it because we don't want to fully face God, we want to have "our ways" in certain parts of our lives in order to preserve our human comfort.

This hit me the hardest and gives me a desire to want to be undivided in heart the way our AWE-GOD is.

All that God does agrees with all that God is, and being and doing are one in Him. A.W.Tozer

My Thoughts-Prayers About The Above Excerpts From A. W. Tozer As I Listen To The Holy Spirit:

Being and doing are one of the same, make it so in me Jesus, because this is the perfect picture of an undivided heart. An undivided heart is where being found in God and doing life are one in the same. So let it be in me Jesus. It is a position of being in relationship with God, being In Christ that leads to every 1st choice being the right choice. Oh Lord, I desire to get to this place where I don't need a second chance, where I make the right choice the 1st time. Jesus!

This really showed me so much about how God's attributes are used to rationalize our sins. Some are picked over others in order to prop up our wanting to be comfortable in our sin.

All that God is must accord with all that God does. Justice must be present in mercy, and love in judgement. A. W. Tozer

Holy Spirit Inspired…. He speaks, I listen and obey… Thank you for teaching Me!

Isaiah Chapter 10

Great God! Great awe-God traveling Adventure!

The cool thing about fasting is it seems to put a bright light on my heart and I see with clarity! Last night was good, I needed it, a complete cleansing of my soul. I asked God to forgive me for my impulsive nature that does not want to wait on God, that never let's God finish what He starts, that does not give God time to work out His Kingdom purposes in me. I realize I have asked for forgiveness for this so many, many times and I felt the Holy Spirit say: It is time for change! Forgiveness is good, change is best. Making the right choice to wait, laying down my impulsive nature at the foot of the cross from moment to choice is best! Making the right choice 1st assures not needing forgiveness and creates change is a long time habit-transforming it into a Kingdom characteristic. I truly believe for me it is time to make the right choice 1st from moment to choice in the all of my life. Help me Jesus! Change me Jesus!

 

Be Found in a holy alliance with god and his word

Psalm 31:1 In YOU , O Lord, do I put my trust and seek refuge; let me never be put to shame or [have my hope in YOU] disappointed; deliver me in Your righteousness!

My Thoughts About This:

Somehow I truly believe that disappointment comes when I am on the throne of my life, not when God is. When I am completely surrendered to God, there is no disappointment, because I know that everything in my life is in His control, His purposes are working in the unseen for His Kingdom Good. Disappointment comes when what "I" want is not happening. I believe God can't disappoint me, I disappoint me, my flesh disappoints me.

Psalm 31:5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness.

My Thoughts About This:

There is so very little genuine truth in our lives in these days, except for the Lord God! It is very encouraging to me to know He Is Truth, He is where I find my truth and I pray for His truth to be in me, to come to me in the discernment from His Holy Spirit. Truth begins with Christ and trickles down to me, truth is between God and me and then it is my choice to walk in God's truth in it's fullness. God has redeemed you! Put your life in His hands today! Jesus is your truth and the only true faithful ONE!

Psalm 31:6 [You and] I abhor those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in, rely on, and confidently lean on the Lord.

My Thoughts About This:

Ps 31:6 Keep away from anything that pulls God out of the 1st place position in your life. Trust in-Rely on- Lean on #AWE-GOD

Everything in this world vies for our attention-trust-dependence on and can become a distraction from the Kingdom purposes God has for us in our day.

Psalm 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy and steadfast love, because You have seen my affliction, You have taken note of my life's distresses! 8 And You have not given me into the hadn of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

Amplified Bible

I am so thankful for the truth of this verse! God does care about everything that distresses us, He is working out His purposes in us! Ps 31:7

Psalm 31: 7 I love how it says: God takes note! Omnipresent Reality Check! God is here-He Cares- He Is Involved With Us- For Us!

My Thoughts About This:

I know how this feels because when Bob came home and told us that we were being transferred, not staying in Georgia for a year like what was planned, leaving the Military Ministry, my new friend I just made, I was like…. WHAT????!!! It makes no sense! Yet somehow I knew God was in charge of what I saw as chaotic misinformation! I made a choice to let go, let be, watch in prayer and wait on God. It was a good choice, because something is up and God outdid Himself in getting us a place to live here, He is so in this! He has set my feet in a broad place!

Psalm 31: 9-13

My Thoughts About This:

I love how David shares this from a perspective we all need. He was hurting and he did not blame God for it, he took responsibility for his actions that brought him to a place of pain, sorrow and fear for his life. "My strength has failed because of my iniquity" Then the next verses shows the point of focus when we are in trouble, even if it is of our making:

Psalm 31:14-15 BUT… I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in YOU, O Lord; I said, You are my God! My times are in Your hands; deliver me from the hands of my foes and those who pursue me and persecute me.

My Thoughts About This:

I love how David continues to pray and seek God, even though he knew the situation he was in was of his own making. I think it is cool the confidence that David had in God's forgiveness and willingness to help him even when he had sinned and caused the bad situation he was in. Psalm 31: 14-18

Psalm 31: 19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!

My Thoughts About This:

God's goodness is not conditional; it is for everyone who trusts in Him, who takes refuge in His great love! Infinitely so!

Psalm 31:21 Blessed be the Lord! For He has shown me His marvelous loving favor when I was beset as in a besieged city!

My Thoughts About This:

All I can say is ditto! Nowhere to go, our lease was up, being suddenly moved to a new city, not knowing exactly why… my heart was a besieged city and I had a choice to make… would I trust God? I said yes to the trusting God completely and I worked it out from moment to choice and then God showed us great, great favor! AWE-GOD! So Yes!!! Blessed be the Lord!

Psalm 31:22 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.

My Thoughts About This:

Sin does separate us from God. One of my sins is worry and worry doubts God's self sufficiency. I know it separates me from God's peace. As soon as I cry out to God out of my worry, He hears me and prayer shakes off the worry attached to my soul and causes my faith to rise- my belief to fight for its rightful position in Truth!

Psalm 31:24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord! Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This:

It is so funny how we think we can control everything, even our peace! When we take the reins of our life and chart our own course, there is absolutely not enough courage we can muster up, we end up more anxious than we could ever imagine, more discontent and more disappointed! Courage comes in abundance when I dress up my soul in a huge God hope, putting all my expectations in His Hands to work out His Will and walk out of a life completely submitted to His Way-Making!

Blame! Pointing a finger away from yourself to someone else, when the truth is you are the common denominator of your every life situation. Look at your own life, change your life 1st before you blame someone else or you will continue to B-LAME!

Blame! BE- LAME! Pointing a finger at someone never quite works the way you plan! God designed it when you point a finger at someone, three fingers point back at you. The God truth is you are the common denominator of your every life situation. Don't blame someone else… look at your own life – stand in the light of God's Presence and let HIM change your life 1st before you put the blame on others, or else you will continue to B-LAME!

Battlefield Of The Mind By Joyce Meyer

Doubt Is A Choice #56

Matthew 28:16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed and made appointment with them. And when they saw Him, they fell down and worshiped Him; but some doubted. Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This:

Divine Appointment! For Sure! Hmmmmm but some doubted! When things are not exactly as we "think" they should be, doubt is sometimes a 1st reaction. I wish I could change that Lord. Teach me how to be part of the group that falls down and worships You instead of part of the group that doubted. I love how You immediately dispelled their unspoken doubt with TRUTH, truth of your authority! You always seem to speak truth and then action pursues. Hear truth – act on truth. The only righteous 1st response to hearing God's Truth is our actions carrying it forth into our reality!

Notes From The Book:

This passage is referred to as: "The Great Commission" He told them that the Father God had given Him all authority and then told them to go…. Out into the world…

But some doubted… even these special anointed and handpicked followers of Christ struggled with doubt and unbelief. They had witnessed miracles, they had seen Jesus die on the cross. Did they not see His or notice his nail scarred hands?

Jesus knew the heart of mankind, the heart of men. Why else would He have rebuked these faithful men for not believing. He referred to the importance of faith so many times.

The fig tree in Matthew 21:19 refers to our faith. VS 20 How is it that the fig tree has withered away all at once? Jesus' answer to this question applies to faith: "Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be take up and cast into the sea, it will be done" VS 21

Faith is a gift from God, but doubt is a choice. Doubt is a result of thoughts formed in the mind that are in direct opposition to God's Word. Joyce Meyer

It is so important to know the Word of God because we are immediately able to discern satan's lies. Joyce Meyer

Doubt is a part of the devil's arsenal of weapons aimed against our mind. We have an option to accept or reject doubt! Joyce Meyer

The choice is ours. We can believe or we can doubt. And we know the path of believing leads to the blessings of God. Joyce Meyer

Great God! Great awe-God traveling Adventure!

I can't believe I am in Pinehurst NC, in a golf condominium by myself for a whole week. If you had told me that three weeks ago, I would have said…what!!!???? God, I don't understand why this is happening, but You have quickly moved us and provided a place for us to live that is more than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you Lord, it is so beautiful here. I have no idea why we are here, we were settling in for a year long stay at Ft. Benning, everything was in place. We were involved in an amazing ministry, making friends, and divine appointments. It makes no sense, this move, but I have to say, I know it is YOU and I am completely trusting YOU. Make a way for us here Way-Maker! I have a whole week here in Pinehurst by myself, Bob had to go back to Ft Benning for a week. I know no one, literally, no one! I have no internet except for my phone, which is not very much, so I realize that YOU want this time with me. I am fasting dinner all this week, hoping to clear my heart of clutter, my spirit of presuppositions and be able to hear and see YOU and Your purposes for this move more clearly. I realize we could do a lot of good things here, but the best thing we can do is be led by YOU, completely! The best thing that could happen to us here in Pinehurst is to find the flow of Your Kingdom purposes and position ourselves in the midst of it! AWE-GOD! So be it!

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.

Flat-World Attitude!

This attitude happens when a statement is not true, but people believe it based on hearsay, past experience, or what is considered "common knowledge"

Example: People "thought" the world was flat. Christopher Columbus believed the world was round. Therefore, he reasoned, if he set sail, he would eventually reach land – previously undiscovered territory—or end up back where he started.

A flat world mentality is where you are convinced about what you can and can't do by other people's views. We let pessimistic people talk us out of our dreams.

Negative attitudes produce negative responses- positive attitudes encourage positive responses. Joyce Meyer

The way people ask questions impacts the answers they receive. Joyce Meyer

My Thoughts About This:

A "flat world attitude" does not stretch your faith by belief in Jesus Christ. It limits God's ability to work through you. Let your attitudes be shaped by The Holy Spirit, by The Word of God, by your faith and belief in God and not by what people "think they know"! Be positive about what you can be in Christ Jesus, what you can do in His strength, power, wisdom and purpose, rather than pessimistic about what other people think you can't do. In Christ Jesus we can maintain our "can do" attitudes even if we are surrounded by negative people! Followship - Jesus!

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.

Excerpts From: Elmer L. Towns "365 Ways To Know God"

Page 181 365 Ways To Know God

Ephesians 3:19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

My Thoughts About This:

Knowledge without experience keeps us on the shallow end of faith, go deeper and experience for yourself the love of Christ. Set out into the deep waters of life and test your faith. The Holy Spirit will fill you with the fullness of Jesus Christ and He will simply significantly be enough in the all of your everything. May I be flooded with God, my spirit overflowing in His Divine Spirit that saturates my soul with His hope, faith and love.

Notes From The Book:

The Holy Spirit is the Fullness of God! The Holy Spirit will fill you with spiritual power to withstand temptation, and He will fill you with spiritual understanding to interpret things in your life, and He will fill you with spiritual knowledge so that you will know what to do. What part of your life is empty? Let the Holy Spirit fill you with the Fullness of God.

The Holy Spirit Can Fill Your Life With:

Spiritual Power To Withstand Temptation

Wisdom To Live Godly

Understanding To Interpret Our Life Way

Knowledge To Live And Do Life

Do You Have An Empty Place In You? The Holy Spirit Will Fill You With The Fullness Of God. Just Ask Him! Do It! Ask! He Will! Ephesians 3:19

Fasting Thoughts And Prayers: Psalm 103 How Great Is God's Love For All?

Lord, please cleanse me from all things me. There has been so much me in my life, at various times and all things me only ends up with pain, hurt, disappointment. I so want all things YOU, I so want to be ALL IN with YOU. Make it so in me. I feel like I am at a crossroads. Not sure why You moved us. Please forgive me if it was about me, I so want my life to be all about YOU. I done with me, please teach me how to live more of YOU and less of me each day. Holy Spirit I yield to "followship". Please change me Jesus, because I know all of YOU is better than any of me, cause me to die to this flesh that keeps wanting its "rights"! Help me to walk instead in Your righteousness, not my "rights" but Your Righteousness, fully…. I so want to be fully filled with YOU. So much of my life is just cleaning up the messes I have made when I impulsively run after my rights. You showed me Jesus how to fix that when YOU gave up Your Kingly rights and died in my place, so I could have life. I hope to do the same, to "die to myself" to be led completely by YOU. No longer what I want but always what YOU want, Your purposes. So much in my life is still broken, I don't even want you to fix it. The mortgages that we have because of my impulsive lighting of my own fire, trying to make things work, not giving you enough time to work, but taking things in my own hands. Our finances, so far into debt because I did it again, tried to "fix things" my way, with my wisdom that has only put us in debt further. Spending to comfort my flesh, because it feels so good to give, but it doesn't feel so good when the bills come and the credit cards raise up so high. Family relationships so broken because of pride, because of being hurt and responding by withdrawing and pulling away, judging and loving with conditions, not facing the truth and fully facing my responsibility in the relationships. Talking when I should have been quiet, trying to fix the unfixable, taking on Your responsibility and failing miserably. My family is broken, I can't fix it. Trying to fix my family, only made things worse. I have tried so hard to be YOU, I can't even come close, not even at all… Over the past 5 years, You have wanted me to give You a completely, and I did, I finally did and since then I have been tested and I have not taken it back. I want YOU to have complete control over my life, even if it is not what I would have done or where I would have gone or when I would have moved. I think my biggest mistake is not waiting on You, not giving YOU time to work. I had my own timetable, I was impatient and I took things in my own hands. I have asked You for forgiveness before and not changed, this time I ask you to cleanse me, wash me clean during this fast and change me, change me from the inside out. I not only want a completely, I want to live like it from moment to choice, change me. If I don't hear from You, I do not move. I see, I follow. Followship! My call is to YOU 1st. Reveal Yourself To Me Jesus As My Lord, My Shepherd, My Covenant Keeping God!

Yahweh! Used when God made humanity. Worship- Yahweh! God provides a sacrifice and reveals Himself as Yahweh! Halleluiah means to celebrate God… Exodus 3: God revealed Himself to His people, He said: I am that I am… I will be what I will be… He was declaring His covenant and His reality to His people! Exodus 6… You have not really understood, I revealed myself to Abraham as God almighty El Shadai and now I reveal myself to YOU as a Covenant Keeping God… Jehovah Yawhew…. He is our Covenant Keeping God, The Lord Of His People….

Jesus came, Savior--- Anointed One—Christ… He is the Lord Jesus Christ! John 8… Where did you come from? Before Abraham was, I AM. He declared He was Jehovah God! He proclaimed He was the Covenant Keeping God of His People!
