Catching Up With Family And Friends!

Dear Family and Friends,

I apologize for being out of touch for so long. I still pray for all of you on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it is my God-given passion! The Lord has changed my course a bit and I am not posting my prayers right now. I should have told you a while ago, but I have been in and out of town a lot these past few months with Bob's job, it has been a difficult summer... but we have grown through it all… because of Jesus!

   

Right now I am working on this really cool idea God has given me to work out. It will be a website, it is a website J…. about 65 percent done right now. Over the past year, I have taken about 6 online college courses on Website Creation, Website Code, Website Style Sheets and all kinds of fun stuff and I am now able to write my own XHTML Code and create a website. Kind of cool what God gives you the ability to do when He needs you to do something… He equips you. So look for this Website soon! I will post it when God is ready for it to open. This is also where I will post Family Prayer and Intersection 4:41 Servant Warrior prayer, that I have been sending out for years to you all. God is just opening up the airwaves, so that it can go further, because I have been faithful in what He has given me to do so far. This site will have so much more and it will be a blessing to the Bride of Christ. I also am putting in a Military Table to reach out to those in the Military… it is going to be amazing… so …. this is what has taken up all my time and redirected my focus a little bit.

   

Hope all of you are well… know I am still praying for each of you! I am posting some of my writing at www.kimberlymac.blogspot.com I have also found the joy of Facebook, that keeps me encouraging and exhorting others in Christ Jesus and being encouraged by them too! TALK IT UP!! Talking and Sharing! Talk It Up… I believe is what Facebook will do for The Bride of Christ, get us talking again… we are way to isolated by our busy lives, we have stopped talking and deeply caring for each other… I can see God's hand in Facebook, I can see that He wants His Bride to start TALKING IT UP!!! GLOWING HIS GLORY FROM HOME TO HOME…

 

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

"Our loving Lord pleads with us to turn our minds and hearts fully over to Him. The more fully we do that, the more completely we live by His good and perfect plan."

Quote By Joyce Meyer From Book: Battlefield Of The Mind

 

Jesus, help each and every reader of this short exhortation to be encouraged to live with undivided hearts, completely focused in Your perfect purposes and enjoying the goodness of Your plan! Psalm 86:11. So Be It! AMEN!

Being His Glory Duster!

My Life Is A Journey….

I Must Travel With A Deep Consciousness Of God

Hebrews 1:17b MSG Bible

 

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all of you who are tired and are carrying heavy loads. I will give you rest. 29 Become my servants and learn from me. I am gentle and free of pride. You will find rest for your souls. 30 Serving me is easy, and my load is light." New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

*My Prayer-HIS-THOUGHTS:KimberlyMac Shining 4-Him- Glowing His Glory-Always-4Ever!*

God wants to be a part of all of our lives as we live out loud, glowing a deep consciousness of His Presence. We tend to be religious and compartmentalize God, the very One Who created us; Who made our personality, designed our giftedness and gave us our talents and Who knows our future destiny, even down to the very divine appointments we are having in this moment!    

We think God should be a part of our Sunday and maybe a little part of our lives during the week and of course when we absolutely have a big need that we can't handle, then He should be a part of that! I think, after reading the above scripture that He should not be a cubicle in the closet of our hearts, He should be yoked to us Spirit-to spirit in our all in all. God should be a part of the whole consciousness of the composition of our heart attitudes, not just one ingredient mixed in when we think we need Him.

We need to learn a complete dependence upon Him, which I think looks like a deep consciousness of Him in our all in all, a Glory Glow always Glowing! We were not created to carry such heavy loads of independence that we put on all by ourselves, (like a two year old has a habit of pushing you away and saying: "I can do it myself") especially in our fast paced very technical world. Serving God should be easy, yet adventurous with Him leading our way and us stepping into His Lighted Footsteps, shadowing Him like a fawn does, stepping safely into the Doe's footsteps that keeps her under the shadow of protection.

Sometimes I think the independent spirit that is so prevalent in our culture and in us at times, does lead us to a heavy yoke of pride. I know it is good to be proud of what you accomplish and proud of each other but the pride that makes us carry heavy loads that are performance orientated… I wonder if that is what makes us so weary on the inside of our souls. We should be living a life energized by Jesus, being His living testimony that continuously speaks, ("Talking Up His Life's Message") through our life actions; a portrait of Him, of His amazing faith activated in our all in all, being consciously impactive and saying: "Jesus is simply enough"!

Being Yoked To Him! Walking Out Our Life Continuously Looped In His Presence, Conscious Of Him In Our All In All! How Does It Look? We Can Be Visibly Seen As His Life Abundance Overflowing In Us And Through Us; Spilling Out Of Us As The Issues Of Our Life Leave His Glory Dust All Over The Paths We Have Walked! (Kind Of Like Tinker Bell… My Favorite Symbol Of God's Glory! Just Like Tinkerbell Does, Spreading A Glory Dusting Over All, Giving Them The Ability To Fly Free, Shining Within The Light Of God…That Is How I Want To Live!) Glowing His Glory Is Our Destiny, Is Our Living Legacy! Glory Glowers! Dusting All Those Around Us In His Glory, So That They Might Fly Free In Jesus Christ, Yoked To His Light, His Love And Living In His Glory Always And Forever!

SO BE IT! Being His servants is giving Him the video camera view of all of our lives! 24/7, being found in the Light of His Masterful Presence, free from personal pride and yoked only to Him. I pray that for us today! Because really, we think that He asks us to "do" so much, yet all He asks is to "be" with us in our all in all and for us to believe in Him completely by being yoked to Him, walking in the Light Of His Countenance!

John 6:29 (Amplified Bible) Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you: that you believe in the One Whom He has sent [that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger].

*My Prayer-HIS-THOUGHTS: KimberlyMac - Glowing His Glory-Always-4Ever!*

Lord, I pray That We Will Trade In Our Independent Human Manufactured Yoke And Put On And Wear The Yoke of Life Manufactured By Jesus And Designed To Fit Up Perfectly By Jesus! JESUS! NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES! You Are Simply Enough! AMEN! (Help us to take a clue from Tinkerbell and Shine, being Glory dusters in our all in all!)

PS… Put Your Name In The Prayer Declaration Below And Talk It Up Unto Jesus, Unto All….! Just Do It! Talk It Up! Jesus!

I Your Name Here step into this day shod with the shoes of gratitude that walk me into the Presence of Jesus with an undivided heart of timeless praise from now unto forever. I, Your Name Here, believe in You, I inhale Jesus Christ, therefore I, Your Name Here, speak and I exhale Your Spoken Word, Your Love and Your Passion for all to know You! I, Your Name Here will be Your Glory Duster! Glowing Your Glory, Being found as a reflection of Your Light, Lord Jesus. I, Your Name Here, will be found In You Today, Being Your Glory Glower And Glowing Your Glory upon every path You have destined my feet to travel today! Glowing For Jesus! Glowing Your Countenance In My All in All Today! Glory!

A Message To:

All Those Who Struggle In A Corrupted Business World

 

From:

Jesus, Your Shepherd, By Way Of His Holy Spirit, Your Guide

And Because Of His Heavenly Father's Excellent Care….

 

This Voice Is For You, This Exhortation Is Your Light Out Of Darkness:

• The clarity you seek is fogged in by the frustration and disappointment caused by the warped and crooked path of people's intertwined carnal natures; dysfunction associated together weaves a twisted path of business!
• What a tangled weave of soulish sin, causing a human mess that seems to be unending and unsolvable. I AM in the mess, because I AM in You. It is a time for you not to join the wolf-pack with a display of the ugly side of human nature, that defines this crooked path, but to be self controlled by My Spirit and shine Your inner glory, My nature, My truth, My perseverance and My love; shine My Life as a bright radiance that overcomes the frustration, deception, greed, self-centeredness, betrayal and disappointment laid out by sin on this crooked path by human beings.
• You must be a peculiar, bright hope for a new day in the middle of this tangled weave of humanness! Be set apart from the twisted mess of self-seeking professionals and start a new path to Me, to My Truth, My Life and My Spirit!
• Be my Light and make this crooked place straight by your thoughts, actions, words and deeds being centered in My hope, My Purposes and My Life. If these people, (my very own destined to be children) whose lives the enemy has made a twisted, tangled weave out of, see Me in You… through your business life, then My purposes for staying and keeping you in the middle of this tousled interlace of human corruptions will prevail. I want you to visualize My plan, not your chaos!
• If there is nothing you can do with these human beings, or with the mess that they have created and your frustration is at its highest point… (welcome to My world) then shine… shine My character, My wisdom, My grace, My mercy… Shine My life and point the right way out of the mess, the way to Me.
• You may be in the middle of this knotted intertwine of flawed human relationships, but you are not of it when you allow Me to be at the center of your life. Don't roll in their mire! Clean off your spirit and walk with Me! You are My Seasoned Servant; You are My Head, not their tale. Do not sully yourself with this human nature run amuck! Stay above the morass and step up to stand on the purity of Holy Ground, in My Presence!
• Where do you position yourself each day? In the middle of a man made mess, trying to sort it all out, or in Me? That is your choice!! I ask you to Choose Me and You shine My nature, My glory through this fogged in clutter of human striving. Choose to try to fix this carnal human mess, to undo the knotted jumble, untangle the corrupted weave and you will become a strand twisted into the human confusion and spinning out more of a carnal entwine to add to the already snarled up lives.
• My Precious Servant, Just do it! Make the choice moment by moment, situation by situation to be found in Me and no matter how twisted the sin of human nature becomes, how crooked this path is because of the latter, you can always shine My Wisdom, My nature, My character… MY LIFE IN YOU!! I am still there, waiting to make this crooked path straight and give the way of salvation to all those who want to walk out of the knot of confusion, into a straight line to real life; to be found in Me freed from the master of the carnal nature into My forever life; a way of dependence on Me, a self controlled, satisfied and successful business path paved by My Spirit!
• Be found in Me, at the center of my will and purposes. Shake off the discouragement and Shine The Truth and Light that will show the way to Me. Today! Just Do It! Make a way where there seems to be no Light… Shine My Life! Glow My Glory in a time such as this when man-made glory is failing and human hope is tangled up in the muck of dried up imaginings! This season of life, in this generation of humanity, You be My dream maker, the Hope of Salvation!

Champion IN Christ!

As I am learning to pursue Gold in my quest to be God's Champion, I made a tiny little adjustment in my training words. I am not going to be a Champion FOR Christ… I am going to be a Champion In Christ! That little adjustment helps me to not compartmentalize my relationship with God. I want Him to be with me in my all in all. It also helps me to stay away from religiousity and stay firmly planted in relationship! That is where I want to be… being found In Jesus! Also the major thing is that little adjustment of words helps me to focus on being dependent upon Jesus, and led by His Holy Spirit instead of the opposite… which I am prone to fall into very easily… independence and ritual! No way… if I want the Gold… it has to Jesus-N-Me all the way baby!!!

 

IN PURSUIT OF GLORY-GOLD!

When I think about being a "Champion For Christ", the word Champion takes me back to when I was training to be a gymnast. I trained for 9 years of my life to be a champion athlete, so I know the concept of discipline, I know it backwards and forwards!!! This is different, becoming a Champion IN Christ and training, submitting my whole body, soul, mind, will and spirit to Him. The main difference is that when I trained to be a gymnast, it was all about me and I had to make it happen by myself and for myself. The gold medal that I strived so hard for, it tarnished. I don't train alone as I strive to be a Champion In Christ and the Gold that I train for, the Gold that I pursue, is not corruptible; in fact it becomes a Glory that shines from here until forever in unending relationship.

 

INDEPENDENCE TO DEPENDENCE!

I am in a relationship with Jesus and I train to run my race that way… connected in love, hope and joy with Him. I am never alone, always with Him. It is one of my disciplines as I train as His Champion to Practice His Presence, to push myself past my human independence to dependence upon Him.

 

TRAINING IN RELATIONSHIP NOT RITUALS

When I was training as a gymnast, I had various instructors for every aspect of becoming a world class gymnast balanced in technical and artistic skills. My training was centered from my will and it was a very ritualistic training, repeating every day the same workout routines and then adding new tricks to learn and perfect. Now I have a kind of three in one Coach. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit and I am related to them by choice, theirs and then mine and through this relationship, my training is anything but ritualistic. I never know what each day will bring, I just come and wait, knowing that my Coach is always with me and will guide me, equip me, prepare me and run the race ahead of me, being my Champion pacesetter!

 

I follow after my Coach, I gleam from Jesus and have a passion of being just like Him because He has already run this race and won… GOLD… imperishable and eternal. My heart is not engaged in my training as much as it is engaged in Him and out of this relationship connection, I passionately pursue His Championship Gold. I don't want the GOLD that does not last, I want the real GOLD and I find that my pursuit of it is found in my relationship with the Champion, Jesus Christ! I am His athlete and my training is balanced between the pursuit of Him, gaining more of His character, His life, His purposes, His will and less of mine. My training as I pursue Gold is a real adventure as I experience the possibility that I have in Him and realize His purposes of my Pursuit of Gold. I realized this: A REAL CHAMPION TRAINS, RUNS AND GOES WITH GOD… ALWAYS AND EVER!

STILL, SUBTLE… VERY SIGNIFICANT!

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.

Excerpt From the Book: Streams In The Desert by L. B. Cowan

"My child, I have a message for you today. Let me whisper it in your ear so any storm clouds that may arise with shine with glory, and rough places that you have to walk will be made smooth. It is only four words, but let them sink into your inner being, and use them as a pillow to rest your weary head. "This is my doing."

Isaiah 43:1-4

When You're Between a Rock and a Hard Place. But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. I've called your name. You're mine. When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end— Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That's how much you mean to me! That's how much I love you! I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.

Excerpt From Book: STREAMS IN THE DESERT

"Therefore it is my special delight to teach you. I want you to learn when temptations attack you, and the enemy comes in "like a pent-up flood"

*My Prayer-HIS-THOUGHTS: KimberlyMac-Glowing In His Glory! Always-4Ever! Glow It!*

He delights in equipping us, making us ready to stand firm in Him against the temptations, tempest and trials of our enemy. It is His special delight that we learn how to position ourselves in Him when the enemy comes in like a flood, we stand under the banner of His Love and in the shadow of the standard He lifts up against our enemy, putting our enemy to flight! Jesus!

Isaiah 59:19

So [as the result of the Messiah's intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].(A)

Excerpt From Book: STREAMS IN THE DESERT

That "this is my doing" and that your weakness needs My strength, and your safety lies in letting Me fight for you."

"Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, never ask your opinion, and always push you aside? "This is my doing." I am the God of circumstances. You did not come to this place by accident—you are exactly where I meant for you to be."

"Today I place a cup of holy oil in your hands. Use it freely, My child, Anoint with it every circumstance, every word that hurts you, every interruption that makes you impatient, and every weakness you have. The pain will leave as you learn to see Me in all things."

Quote By Laura A. Barter Snow.

 

"This is from Me," the Savior said,

As bending low He kissed my brow,

For One who loves you thus has led.

Just rest in Me, be patient now;

Your Father knows you have need of this;

Though, why perhaps you cannot see—

Grieve not for things you've seem to miss.

The ting I send is best for thee."

Then, looking through my tears, I plead,

"Dear Lord, forgive, I did not know,

It will not be hard since You do tread,

Each path before me here below."

And for my good this thing must be,

His grace sufficient for each test.

So still I'll sing, "Whatever be

God's way for me is always best."

Written By L.B. Cowan: From Streams In The Desert

 

 

He giveth quietness.

O Elder Brother,

Whose homeless feet have pressed our path of pain,

Whose hands have borne the burden of our sorrow,

That in our losses we might find our gain.

 

Of all Your gifts and infinite consoling,

I ask but this: in every troubled hour

To hear Your voice through all the tumults stealing,

And rest serene beneath its tranquil power.

 

Cares cannot fret me if my soul be dwelling

In the still air of faith's untroubled day;

Greif cannot shake me if I walk beside you,

My hand in Yours along the darkening way.

 

Content to know there comes a radiant morning

When from all shadows I will find release;

Serene to wait the rapture of its dawning—

Who can make trouble when You send me peace?

A Champions Road To Gold

• I will to be a Champion for Jesus, disciplined by the Master and self controlled by choice.
• I will to train and press towards the goal of the upward prize of Jesus Christ; being found in Him, disciplined by His Word, His Holy Spirit and His Will so I might be found as His Champion in pursuit of the Gold; acting, speaking and loving like He did!
