"If you dread life and fear people, you are not trusting the Lord to save you. Keep your reverential fear and awe of God; dread displeasing Him, but don't fear anything else."

Isaiah 8:13

Make the Lord of Heaven's Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear. He is the one who should make you tremble.

The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread,

QUOTES THAT INSPIRE GROWTH AND CHANGE

The true secret in giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not and never persist in trying to set people right.

Quote By: Hannah Whitall Smith

****************************************************

Praise God! He Did It! Thank You Lord Jesus! Amazing God!

PRAISE YOU LORD GOD! PRAISE YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I AM OVERWHELMED BY YOUR GREATNESS, BY YOUR HEALING POWER, BY YOUR SUSTAINING STRENGTH, BY EVERYTHING AND ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR PENNY! THANK YOU LORD JESUS! I AM SO GRATEFUL, SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU HEAR OUR PRAYERS!

From Walt Mauldin:

Yesterday we went back to Vanderbilt for Penny's check-up with Dr. Merchant. He took out the feeding tube, which is her last one. At one time, she had seven tubes placed in her abdomen, and now there are NONE! We were thrilled that this final tube was taken out, because it had caused so much pain and discomfort over the last few weeks. Dr. Merchant also said he did not need to see her until September 14th…another praise report. The best news of all is that he feels that she does not have to

do Chemotherapy again. Since she has had three major surgeries, numerous CT Scans, and all types of lab work, at no time has there been any signs of cancer cells! As you know, this has been a very difficult journey for all of us, but we believe that we have finally turned the corner on this illness. We give God all the praise for what He has done in Penny's life. To God be the glory for the great things only He has done! I think I will sing that song with more passion than ever before!

****************************************************

Daniel 10:11-13

And [the angel] said to me, O Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you and stand upright, for to you I am now sent. And while he was saying this word to me, I stood up trembling. 12Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind and heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come as a consequence of [and in response to] your words. 13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief [of the celestial] princes, came to help me, for I remained there with the kings of Persia.

How is your day going? Tough One! Well, whatever or however take a break and refresh your belief and saturate your faith in a huge hope! Infinite Love! Believe In God! He Is With Us!

Streams In The desert

Romans 4:18-19

[For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be.(A) 19He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah's [deadened] womb.(B)

Excerpts:

"If you are enduring great afflictions right now, you are at the source of the strongest faith."

"The only way to know strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm through severe testings"

Psalm 56:1-4

Take my side, God—I'm getting kicked around, stomped on every day. Not a day goes by but somebody beats me up; They make it their duty to beat me up. When I get really afraid I come to you in trust. I'm proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God. What can mere mortals do?

Psalm 56:3

What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You.

Mark 5:36

But overhearing[a] what they said, Jesus said to(A) the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

Matthew Henry Commentary Romans 4:18-19

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

He received the promise through the righteousness of faith.

The promise was made to Abraham long before the law. It points at Christ, and it refers to the promise, Ge 12:3. In Thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. The law worketh wrath, by showing that every transgressor is exposed to the Divine displeasure. As God intended to give men a title to the promised blessings, so he appointed it to be by faith, that it might be wholly of grace, to make it sure to all who were of the like precious faith with Abraham, whether Jews or Gentiles, in all ages. The justification and salvation of sinners, the taking to himself the Gentiles who had not been a people, were a gracious calling of things which are not, as though they were; and this giving a being to things that were not, proves the almighty power of God. The nature and power of Abraham's faith are shown. He believed God's testimony, and looked for the performance of his promise, firmly hoping when the case seemed hopeless. It is weakness of faith, that makes a man lie poring on the difficulties in the way of a promise. Abraham took it not for a point that would admit of argument or debate. Unbelief is at the bottom of all our staggerings at God's promises. The strength of faith appeared in its victory over fears. God honors faith; and great faith honors God. It was imputed to him for righteousness. Faith is a grace that of all others gives glory to God. Faith clearly is the instrument by which we receive the righteousness of God, the redemption which is by Christ; and that which is the instrument whereby we take or receive it, cannot be the thing itself, nor can it be the gift thereby taken and received. Abraham's faith did not justify him by its own merit or value, but as giving him a part in Christ. (Ro 4:23-25)

About this commentary: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

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

Jesus make me like Abraham. Shape my faith like his. He always believed Your Word, He always looked for the performance of Your Promise through the eyes of huge hope in You. He always clung tighter during the storms of life, firmly clinging to hope! He always dug his roots deep down into Your Infinite Love as Your Sovereign Will brought forth that which he did not understand or could not see. Abraham saw in part but believed in whole; with an undivided heart he hoped huge in the face of hopelessness!

It has been an AWE-GOD afternoon! Just read Isaiah 40:12-17 in the Message Bible! Now that is an AWE developing exercise!

Isaiah 40:12-17

The Creator of All You Can See or Imagine

Who has scooped up the ocean in his two hands, or measured the sky between his thumb and little finger, Who has put all the earth's dirt in one of his baskets, weighed each mountain and hill? Who could ever have told God what to do or taught him his business? What expert would he have gone to for advice, what school would he attend to learn justice? What god do you suppose might have taught him what he knows, showed him how things work? Why, the nations are but a drop in a bucket, a mere smudge on a window. Watch him sweep up the islands like so much dust off the floor! There aren't enough trees in Lebanon nor enough animals in those vast forests to furnish adequate fuel and offerings for his worship. All the nations add up to simply nothing before him— less than nothing is more like it. A minus.

************************************************

Matthew 28:16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed and made appointment with them. 17And when they saw Him, they fell down and worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18Jesus approached and, [a]breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them [b]into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you [c]all the days ([d]perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. [e]Amen (so let it be).

AWE-GOD= GUIDE! RULER! ALL POWERFUL! OMNIPRESENT! TEACHER!

Purpose: Tell Others- Grow Them Up!

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

I read that and I realized how much God had provided for them. He made a divine appointment for them with Jesus. He led them to the place, guided them. They saw Jesus, they recognized the risen Savior, yet some doubted. Wow! I wonder if that would have been me. Sometimes today, even when God gives me the directions and I make a divine connection with Him, I still struggle with doubts. I am supposing that is natural, but what I do with those doubts, how I act upon them is either going to be a choice to stay in the natural or go with the supernatural. To observe God's promises, to obey Him in all that He has asked of me, to recognize His Presence in my all and everything and to go therefore and grow, and grow others through what He has taught me! So be it!

Joyce meyer excerpt from book: "battlefield of the mind devotional"

Excerpt From Book:

"But some doubted. How can that be? Judas was dead, but the others—those great Christians who later traveled throughout the known world and taught everyone about Jesus—doubted? How coud they? Had they not witnessed miracles? Had they not seen the lame walk, the blind eyes opened, the demon-possessed healed? Had they not seen Jesus dying on the cross? Did they not—even now—notice His nail-scared hands?"

"Faith is a gift of 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. That is why it is so important for us to know the Word of God."

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

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

We can doubt, that is really easy. I hope huge to take the high road, the narrow path and believe, believe God, despite the thoughts in my head, what my situation looks like or my inability to see ahead. I am determined to choose choice by choice to believe God. Active Faith is harder than the easy way out of of doubt! Broad Path? Narrow Path? I choose to believe!

************************************************

Quote Wisdom For Christian Living!

"I believe that Christ died for me because it is incredible; I believe that He rose from the dead because it is impossible" Quote By A.W. Tozer

"Refection upon revealed truth naturally follows the advent of faith, but faith comes first to the hearing ear, not to the cogitating mind." A.W. Tozer

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

I like this quote because so many times I tried to "think up" my faith and it was stinking up my life in personal independence. My dependence on God's Word first, really stirs up my faith in a way that I become a fragrance of God in my all and everything. Stink starts in the mind, fragrance starts in the hearing hear. Which will I choose? Cogitate or Hear? Consider-deliberate-muse-rationalize or listen to attend to and heed the Inspired-Powerful Word of God! When put like that! Hear! This is the best choice to stir up my faith, to activate my faith! Be found as a hearing ear, not a cogitating mind! So be it! Jesus! Name Above All Names! Complete dependence! Yes and AMEN!

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

THE TRINITY: THE LORD OF HOSTS (JEHOVAH SABAOTH)

Key Thought: The Lord Is Ready To Help You Win Over Your Troubles.

Psalm 46:11

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our High Tower and Stronghold). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation
Excerpt:

The Lord of Hosts is Jehovah Sabaoth. His title "Sabaoth" means "a host ready to serve or ready to fight."

"Jehovah Saboath" can be translated "the God of the fighting angels." The Lord has a numbered company of "ministering spirits" (Hebrews 1:14) who will defend you from the Evil One. He can dispatch them to your assistance, "for he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you with their hands" (Psalm 91:11-12, NLT) However, you must ask for help and trust Him when He comes alongside to fight for you.

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

It is the HOWEVER that caught my attention this morning! I do well with the asking for help, yet I fail miserably at times with the trusting! It is a shame that many times when the Lord, Jehovah Sabaoth, comes alongside of me, being my Advocate of Faith, to fight for me, I reject Him. Why? Because I want things my way, I want to understand what is happening; I use my mind way to much to rule over my spirit. I pursue human understanding much more than I do the mysterious-miraculous ways of my God. I want to see it all, right now and I am afraid that is attributed to my culture where everything is micro waved and instantaneous! How sad for us! God is doing things His Way and I wonder if we will ever know it! HOWEVER! I do hope huge that we begin to follow after that HOWEVER and ask for help and trust Him for our completely, even when we don't understand the part we see, that we learn to believe in Him, trusting Him to work all things out for our good! Yes, it is all eventually good in Christ Jesus!

Matthew Henry Commentary Psalm 46:11

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

An exhortation to behold it.

Come and see the effects of desolating judgments, and stand in awe of God. This shows the perfect security of the church, and is an assurance of lasting peace. Let us pray for the speedy approach of these glorious days, and in silent submission let us worship and trust in our almighty Sovereign. Let all believers triumph in this, that the Lord of hosts, the God of Jacob, has been, is, and will be with us; and will be our Refuge. Mark this, take the comfort, and say, If God be for us, who can be against us? With this, through life and in death, let us answer every fear.

I truly believe that developing an AWE of God is the first step to a complete trust-walk of faith as His Champion!

Psalm 24:1-10

A Psalm of David. 1THE EARTH is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it.(A) 2For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the currents and the rivers. 3Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully.(B) 5He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause, and think of that]!(C) 7Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9Lift up your heads, O you gates; yes, lift them up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]!

Matthew Henry Commentary

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

Concerning the kingdom of Christ, and the subjects of that kingdom.

We ourselves are not our own; our bodies, our souls, are not. Even those of the children of men are God's, who know him not, nor own their relation to him. A soul that knows and considers its own nature, and that it must live for ever, when it has viewed the earth and the fullness thereof, will sit down unsatisfied. It will think of ascending toward God, and will ask, What shall I do, that I may abide in that happy, holy place, where he makes his people holy and happy? We make nothing of religion, if we do not make heart-work of it. We can only be cleansed from our sins, and renewed unto holiness, by the blood of Christ and the washing of the Holy Ghost. Thus we become his people; thus we receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of our salvation. God's peculiar people shall be made truly and for ever happy. Where God gives righteousness, he designs salvation. Those that are made meet for heaven, shall be brought safe to heaven, and will find what they have been seeking. (Ps 24:7-10)

Excerpt From: 365 Ways To Know God By Elmer L. Towns

"You have heavenly power available to you. Don't focus your eyes on the enemy or on your weakness. If you do that, you will get discouraged and fail. Look up to the Lord of Hosts-Jehovah Sabaoth-for your strength. He can give you victory!"

"Jehovah Sabaoth, come with Your fighting angels to give me victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. I believe in Your power and trust Your protection. AMEN!"

Devotions From Pastor Elliott Osowitt

Matthew 6:1-4 (HCSB)

1 "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 So whenever you give to the poor, don't sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be applauded by people. I assure you: They've got their reward!

3 But when you give to the poor, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

There are so many needs these days, and dollars are worth less as our government continues to print and spend money we don't have. In these times, many philanthropies, churches, and charities are receiving fewer donations while the demands are rising. We are receiving more requests for food bank assistance than we were this same time last year. Requests for assistance with power bills are increasing. There are even requests to help people catch up their mortgage payments. In these times of growing needs and lessening incomes, God's people are called to closely examine our stewardship. And as we closely examine how we use the resources God has given us, we all should be praying and seeking opportunities to help those that have fallen on hard times. This scripture teaches us that we should be careful. Be careful that we don't sprain our shoulders from patting ourselves on the back and robbing ourselves of the blessing.

Lord, I pray today that when it comes to helping others all our motives are pure. I pray you grant us wisdom and righteous, godly logic in our stewardship.

Pastor Elliott

QUOTES THAT INSPIRE GROWTH AND CHANGE

I may no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather respond to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.

Quote By: -- Jim Elliot

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

Emotions! AWE-GOD! I know You created them! I know Jesus had them, so I presume that they are a huge part of Who You are. Help me to use my emotions for Your good, to control them by Your power in me. I don't want to be led by them. A lot of times I am and it doesn't end pretty. I want to be led by You, Jesus! So be it today!

QUOTES THAT INSPIRE GROWTH AND CHANGE

Satan gives Adam an apple (fruit), and takes away Paradise. Therefore in all temptations let us consider not what he offers, but we shall lose. Quote By: Richard Sibbes

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

I love this quote! It speaks some very real wisdom to my heart. I love how the author flip-flops temptation and shows us the real side of temptation, the side we need to think of first, the consequences!! Whatever the enemy offers us may be pleasureable, may be what we think we truly want, but the consequences always constitute a loss! So true! We never think of it this way! I love this truth!

God Used A Member Of His AWE-Some Family To Encourage Me Today In Him!

Debra Sherlin sent me this! It is so cool how God uses His family, The Bride Of Christ to encourage each other, to share His thoughts, to love each other. This was sent to me in an email and little did Deb know that I had been praying all weekend long about a commitment God had asked me to make. I am a seasoned servant in God's Kingdom and I don't take my commitments to God lightly. I make every commitment very cautiously and usually while I am up looking up in God's face, sitting in His lap. Every day to me is a commitment to God, it starts that way for me. Anyway, when God asks me to commit to His purposes, it is pretty much way, way over my head, so I usually am making a direct commitment of my life to God, for Him to use me as His hands, His feet and His voice. I was once again challenged this past week by God to commit to using the Kingdom Trades He has given me and to learn some new ones in order to do something new with Him. I was humbled, overwhelmed and not sure I could rise up to this challenge (which is a good thing LOL)! God and I have had a lot of conversations about this challenge since that night! I was sure right away, that I was the person for this challenge, but I had to work out the costs to my flesh, which is really a silly thing that God allowed me to do. Thank you Lord, I needed that! But today, my focus was really stripped off myself and put back to the challenge and the CHALLENGER, JESUS CHRIST. Jesus, I am taking Your Right Hand and I am DIVING IN!

Psalms 33 ~ Message Bible 4-5 For God's Word is solid to the core; everything He makes is sound inside and out. He loves it when everything fits, when his world is in plumb-line true. Earth is drenched in God's affectionate satisfaction.

God Used A Member Of His AWE-Some Family To Encourage Me Today In Him!

Sue Cramer Tired of Bickering with your spouse? http://praiseandcoffee.blogspot.com/2009/05/tired-of-bickering.html

Thank you Sue! That was so full of wisdom. I also find that I need to anticipate that during those times of huge decisions; the enemy will set my husband and I up to be upset. Emotional Whirlwinds I call them. Thoughts that spin and spin and if you step into them, your emotions will be tossed to and fro and it will not be pretty! I went through that this weekend. We were trying to decide a big decision and the whirlwinds began in my mind, the enemy setting me up. I stood on the outside of it, getting pushed around by the wind and could feel my emotions becoming so negative. But, Thankfully, I made the right choice this time and I stepped aside, gathered my God-thoughts and clung hard to my life-promises and waited for the whirlwind to wind down, and it usually does. Our enemy does not have enough energy to keep up a whirlwind and they usually spin out and when they do, you find you are still standing on Holy Ground!

Thanks Sue for your call to undergird all our marriages in God's great wisdom! God Bless You much!

My Upmost For His Hightest By Oswald Chambers

Jeremiah 1:8

Don't be afraid of anyone, because I am with you to protect you," says the Lord

Jeremiah 1:7-8

God told me, "Don't say, 'I'm only a boy.' I'll tell you where to go and you'll go there.

I'll tell you what to say and you'll say it. Don't be afraid of a soul. I'll be right there, looking after you." God's Decree.

The Overshadowing Of God's Personal Deliverance

Excerpt:

"Wherever God Sends Us, He Will Guard Our Lives. Our personal property and possessions are to be a matter of indifference to us, and our hold on these things should be very loose. If this is not the case, we will have panic, heartache, and distress. Having the proper outlook is evidence of the deeply rooted belief in the overshadowing of God's personal deliverance."

"In essence, Jesus says, "continue steadily on with what I have told you to do, and I will guard your life."

"We put common sense on the throne and then attach God's name to it. We do lean to our own understanding, instead of trusting God with all our hearts (see Proverbs 3:5-6)"

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

A lot of times I do follow my common sense first instead of going to God first. That scripture in Isaiah burns in my heart at times and I hear it: I am doing something new! Will you not know it! I realize I need to live deeper than the surface and my common sense is not as deep as God's Wisdom – God's Fresh Revelation. AWE-GOD! He is guarding my life in new and creative ways that I want to know of. I can tell when I am deeply rooted to this world, because anxiety overtakes me. It is then in the midst of my personal anxiety, I have to stop, I have to let go of my common sense, I have to let go of what I see with my natural eyes, I have to let go of my earthly expectations and cling harder to God, looking to Him to show me the root that is putting pressure on my heart and causing me physical anxiety. Then I need to yank that root out and plant a new seed of truth in Kingdom soil. I need to be deeply rooted in Kingdom soil, not here where the circle of life will die and nothing of eternal significance will remain. I need to remember my heritage, my future and my huge hope! Jeremiah 29:11 Psalm 86:11 Psalm 62:5

Quote Wisdom For Christian Living!

When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.

Pray With Me Today For Our Military! http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/mmprayit4.htm

Pray It Up! /Hope Huge in Almighty God! Protect/Provide

Praying This For Our Military Warriors Today!

1 Peter 1: 2 1 Peter 1

1-2I, Peter, am an apostle on assignment by Jesus, the Messiah, writing to exiles scattered to the four winds. Not one is missing, not one forgotten. God the Father has his eye on each of you, and has determined by the work of the Spirit to keep you obedient through the sacrifice of Jesus. May everything good from God be yours!

A New Life 3-5What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole. 6-7I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.

Today, I live for Jesus Christ, A Tender Warrior, Whose life given for me, set me apart in His Mercy, a forever freedom! http://bit.ly/nbbLF

Good morning friends! I hope huge for God's grace to be realized in our day, His peace to be evident in the freedom we feel in Him!

Thank you! Very inspiring. I pray that women will hear God's Voice and heed it!

You know, we were created, shaped for our husbands and we have everything we need to gracefully, wisely and competently be their wives. God knew what He was doing when He made me for my husband, to complement His weaknesses. We took a vow to become One in Christ and when I speak sarcastically about him or cut him down, I am hurting myself too, we are one in Christ Jesus!

Notes From: Pastor Don Sturiano Kingdom Perspective Posted On Face Books!

Look at life through a Kingdom Perspective.
Mission of the church to bring God's solutions to the kingdoms of this world.
Matthew 18:11 They lost their identity, they lost who they were in Christ.
Rev 1:5-6 Kings and priests, ambassadors. Jesus came to redeem their identity. They lost their influence.
The three things that they lost were: Intimacy with the Father; Identity in Christ, Influence of Holy Spirit, Indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Three things that they lost because of sin. Intimacy, Identity and Influence.
The blood of Jesus Christ, washes away sins of past, present and future. You can lift up Holy Hands To Jesus, and not be ashamed. Relationship is restored by Jesus. The by product of intimacy.
Jesus had an amazing prayer life. Jesus went off to the mountain. Greek word: To worship. Worship is intimacy with the Father. It empowers us to do the impossible Bill Johnson The measure of our spiritual authority we use in worship. You cannot go in war where you have not gone in intimacy.
Hallowed Be Thy Name! Intimacy. Healing By Smith Wigglesworth. I see that God has a plan for healing it is along the lines of perfect confidence in him, not with much speaking but with our fellowship with him.
Take time for communion with Him, there is a communion with Jesus that is life. Fellowship or communion, spend time with the Father, the more time we spend kneeling down in the other world, the more power we will have walking in dominion in this one.
Matthew 14:21 End of an amazing miracle service. Jesus has 5000 people, a lot of people. Jesus blesses food and there is an amazing multiplication that feeds others with much left over
Matthew 14:22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat, and sent the multitudes away. He sent those closest to Him away and the crowd away
Matthew 14:23 He went up to the mountain to pray: worship-intimacy. Durng the fourth watch around 3 in the morning He walked out in the water. Jesus spent a long time, listening to the Father, seeing what the Father was doing. Hallowed Be Thy Name!
Jesus spends all of these hours praying, speaking and worshipping the Father. Hallowed be Thy name.
Intimacy restored, dominion restored, identity restored. Kneeling in the Kingdom, worshipping. The more time we kneel in the other world, the more power and dominion we will have in this one. AWE-GOD Pastor Don Sturiano
Matthew: Jesus overturned tables of the money tables and said my house shall be called a house of prayer… Worship! My house shall be called a house of intimacy. You have made it a den of thieves. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Jesus died and allowed us to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus wants our house, our life to be a house of prayer, a house of intimacy. He loves His temple, He was not angry at the temple, but the things inside of this temple that get in the way of worship and intimacy that steal the affections of our heart.
He wants our temple to be a house of prayer, worship and intimacy! Results of intimacy!
Matthew 21:14 Then… the blind and the lame came to Him and He healed Him. This temple needs to be a house of prayer. Intimacy from duty to desire! Pray without ceasing. Be aware we carry His Presence. He is round about us! Be conscious of His Presence. The result will be people will come to us and God will heal them all

Quote Wisdom For Christian Living!

Look at the candle. What is it used for? It is not for giving light? If it is to give light, it must burn and make itself less and less. But if the candle were to protest and say, "I will not burn an become less and less; I cannot suffer hurt, neither can my form be changed," then what would be its value? In the same way, those who determine not to put self to death will never see the will of God fulfilled in their lives. Those who ought to become the light of the world must necessarily burn and become less and less. By dening self, we are able to win others.

Quote By: Sadhu Sundar Singh

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

Job 9:32-35

"God and I are not equals; I can't bring a case against him. We'll never enter a courtroom as peers. How I wish we had an arbitrator to step in and let me get on with life—To break God's death grip on me, to free me from this terror so I could breathe again. Then I'd speak up and state my case boldly. As things stand, there is no way I can do it."

Job 9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. KJV

JESUS:THE DAYSMAN BETWEEN US!

"Job was looking for a daysman to be a neutral arbitrator between God and him. A daysman is an umpire, an advocate or an impartial judge."

"Jesus is the Daysman who stand equal with the Father and yet stands for Job. Jesus is our Daysman who takes our case and pleads it to the Father."

"Jesus thank you for being my arbitrator with the Father God."

KEY THOUGHT:

Jesus is the neutral Umpire who gets the heavenly Father to accept us.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Today, your Life In Christ Jesus Can Be The Greatest Story Ever Told. Our enemy prowls around seeing who he can tempt, whose day he can discourage, whom he can set up to get upset, whose peace he can rob and whose life he can destroy. he sets us up to be upset! he puts his rotten apple-cart right into our path and we stumble into it as we are running our God-appointed race with our Champion Christ! Ouch, it hurts! This applecart divisively placed for us to suddenly stumble over, completely interrupts our pace! It makes us so mad! I guess at this point, we can choose to stand there in shock, disbelief and disappointment and begin a huge a pity-party, biting into a rotten apple or we can choose in the Name, Power and Might of Jesus Christ, to pick ourselves back up, dust ourselves off and boldly with great courage in Christ, upset that rotten apple-cart that was divisively set before us, to get us upset and knock us off our appointed path! We can choose not to be set up to get upset! We can choose to stay on our appointed course!

If our plans get upset and we realize we have been set up by the enemy, choice by choice we can cling tighter to the Mighty Right Hand of Jesus, taking two steps backward, glance at our heavenly hindsight and then one giant leap of faith and hurdle that rotten apple-cart! Once we get over it, we can adjust our attitude and reset our pace with our Champion pacesetter; fully focused on Jesus, following His lead back to running our appointed course!

The attitude of a Champion In Christ Jesus is refreshed and renewed through praise! Shout out the praise of Jesus Christ, whether our pace is right on, or we have to work harder to catch our original pace! We will praise Him!

I will praise Him! Today, I choose to upset the rotten apple-cart of my enemy, to not be set up to be upset, but to therefore, set my pace with the greatest Champion ever known, Jesus Christ. I purpose to lay my life out on my appointed course today and whatever happens, I will praise Him! No matter how many rotten apple-carts Jesus has to help me hurdle, I will continue to lay my life out -all of it!

I will lay myself completely out on my appointed harvest field, this day for Jesus Christ, My Champion! I am determined to dedicate my life to Jesus today and write my story with His pen. I will not let the enemy have the final say on my appointed course! No way! I am determined that my story on my appointed course will be the greatest story ever told today. Choice by choice, I am determined not to be divisively set up to be upset, but to make an attitude-adjustment and choose to pick up the pace, staying in Holy Alignment with Jesus! So Be It! Sovereign Almighty God! AWE-SOVEREING GOD! AWE-INFINITE LOVE! Jesus!

Children’s Ministry…Eternally So!

Being His In Children's Ministry

=Making A Difference-

ETERNALLY…So!

Written by: The Holy Spirit

Prayed-Penned by Kimberlymac

John 17 Jesus Prays for Himself

1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said, "Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you. 2 You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 "And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do. 5 So now, Father, give glory to me in heaven where your throne is. Give me the glory I had with you before the world began. Jesus Prays for His Disciples 6 "I have shown you to the disciples you gave me out of the world. They were yours. You gave them to me. And they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 I gave them the words you gave me. And they accepted them. They knew for certain that I came from you. They believed that you sent me.

"I pray for them. I am not praying for the world. I am praying for those you have given me, because they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. Glory has come to me because of my disciples.

I read this verse this morning and thought of it in the light of ministering to, caring for children. I believe it speaks great Godly relevance to all those who serve God in the ministry of children, in times such as these. Jesus tells us to give children the Words He has given us and to pray for them! He asks us to hope huge that they believe Who Jesus is, and desire deeply for them to come to know Him personally! Daily so many of us cry out to God, The Father, that the children He has put in our life-path will accept Him and believe His Words! (You don't have to be in children's ministry in a church to be in children's ministry! Open your eyes and look around you. There are children all around you that need to know Jesus, to hear His Transforming Words of Life and be impacted by your "Shout Out" of His Faith in action!)

I heard the Holy Spirit very clearly as I read this verse above and I saw the heart of God in a different light as He shined it for children and the hope He has that we diligently pray for them to grow in Christ, desiring His wisdom to be awakened and come to life in their hearts! Life is hard on children in times such as these, but God is pure goodness! When we "Talk Up" the way, the truth and the life of Jesus Christ, we are equipping a child with what they need to make the right decisions, choice by choice empowering them with the way to obey His Word. When we "Pray It Up" for the children around us, then God will give them, by His Holy Spirit, the power to choose what is right for them, to chose life instead of dead ends.

The coolest thing that jumped out at my spirit this morning about this verse, really just lifts the burden off our shoulders when it comes to caring for children, (whom many are daily living through and suffering with the huge consequences of the wrong choices of the adults responsible for them) is this:

These children, they belong to God Almighty, and even more so, the ministry unto them is His: His Love, His favor, His anointing, His wisdom, His creativity and all the strength, the power, the tools of our Kingdom Trade…. It all belongs to Jesus.

Our accountability is not immediately to the children themselves, but our personal actions must be first to the responsibility of tapping into the nutriment stream of our Father God, where we receive His might, wisdom, love, favor, strength, provision and power to care for the children He has "purposely put" into our life-path. (There is a heavenly hindsight waiting to be played out in their lives and you are the one to direct their focus unto Jesus, the One Who will enlighten their darkened minds with truth and give them a Bright Future And Hope!)

There is Kingdom purpose in every situation you divinely encounter with all children under heaven, as it is seen on earth. Be aware of those children around you today and may your divine appointment with them be glorious!

As I read John 17 today and the Lord simply spoke to my heart, I was engulfed with His heart of passion, it saturated my soul and stimulated my spirit as I simultaneously realized the fullness of God's truth that these children and this children's ministry is in very capable hands and should not be carried in any way by me, it is not necessary! Our God is Mighty to Save! Through this powerful revelation, I have gleamed that my Father God has asked me to believe in Him completely and confidently-boldly share His Word that never returns void! It is His desire that I hope huge in the heart of the gospel, His spoken Word that always, in His perfect timing through destined Kingdom purpose, brings about change of ownership, citizenship and destiny for all children under the "shout out" of its Powerful Voice!

We all hurt for the children suffering aimlessly all around us; they are not being nurtured in the way that God had hoped when He placed them as disciples in the care of their parents. (sin happens… because we live in a fallen country that is pushing God out of the center of it and the consequential burden is great upon the innocence, safety and vulnerability of the children of this land… warfare happens) The best thing we can do for children is to first "be found" in a vital, personal relationship with Jesus Christ; a relationship that "Talks Up" His life!

When we are united with The Triune God, connecting spirit-to-spirit, every day in every way possible to us, our lives can and will reflect a hope huge, a bold confidence,

a "Shout Out":

"I believe in Jesus Christ for these children He has put in my life path, they belong to the Father God! He is working in the unseen for their good! They have an amazing future and hope! Their Father God, He is simply enough for them!"

Yes I do understand the burden when you care about children in a time such as this! I have cried many of tears, as the empathy of God is heavy upon me in intercession, but the Yoke of ministry is light when it belongs to Jesus Christ and I know He cries with me and He also significantly saves every single tear shed for His children!

Every child He has put in your life path through His Shepherding heart of compassion, they are His not yours and He is able to care for them in ways we can't even begin to fathom, imagine or hope for.

Therefore in Light of the above revelation, I choose to Believe in Jesus, and pray-hope-huge! (brbJ, at this point I have to stop and bow my heart humbly before God in awe of WHO HE IS! I take my hands off of His children's ministry, releasing the burden I am carrying and yoke myself to Jesus. Not my will but Yours be done, not my way but Your way be done, not my plan but Your future be done. These children are Yours.) Today, right now, I choose an impacting faith that is unburdened by doubt, confident in belief and standing in the shadow of His Grace with a HUGE HOPE in The Father God and His ability to transform lives! The heart of His Gospel is change! He can! He will! The best is yet to come in the lives of the children God has put in our path! Watch, believe He is working in the unseen for their good and see His glory! Heavenly Hindsight is on the way! Trust!

Remember: The best thing you can "do" in children's ministry is to "be"! Be connected to Jesus, spirit-to-spirit and hear His Heart intent, receive His passion and do and say everything unto Him. Eat His Word! Be nourished moment to moment in His hope and promise!
Remember: Position Yourself In His Grace! He is the power to change the heart, mind and destiny of His children. Tap into His life and be His, therefore you do not carry His children upon your back, you walk unencumbered knowing that what you do unto Jesus will be seeded into each child from life unto life as God works in the unseen for their good.
Remember: Everything matters! Do not grow weary because of what is seen, be strong in the hope of truth and endure with bold confidence! Stand in the promise of the Almighty God, Whom these children belong to!

Now, may I take a few more moments of your time? I ask you to listen with your spirit to the passion that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has for His children and release any burden you are carrying for them. Yoke yourself to His passionate heart. Know His Heart, Know His Mind and you will know a burden for children that impassions your soul with a huge hope, yokes you to a confident belief that their Masterful, Father God is working in the unseen for their good! Let everything you do for His children, be because You are being His and acting, talking up and shouting out His life unto Him!

Loving Children, Teaching Children And Caring For Children - As You Are Being His First, It Matters Significantly…

Eternally So!

John 17:11-26

"I will not remain in the world any longer. But they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name. It is the name you gave me. Keep them safe so they can be one, just as you and I are one.

12 "While I was with them, I guarded them. I kept them safe through the name you gave me. None of them has been lost, except the one who was sentenced to be destroyed. It happened so that Scripture would come true.

13 "I am coming to you now. But I say these things while I am still in the world. I say them so that those you gave me can have all my joy inside them. 14 I have given them your word. The world has hated them. This is because they are not part of the world any more than I am. 15 I do not pray that you will take them out of the world. I pray that you will keep them safe from the evil one.

16 "They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it. 17 Use the truth to make them holy. Your word is truth. 18 You sent me into the world. In the same way, I have sent them into the world. 19 I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy in a true sense.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 "I do not pray only for them. I pray also for those who will believe in me because of their message. 21 Father, I pray that all of them will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me.

22 "I have given them the glory you gave me. I did this so they would be one, just as we are one. 23 I will be in them, just as you are in me. I want them to be brought together perfectly as one. This will let the world know that you sent me. It will also show the world that you have loved those you gave me, just as you have loved me.

24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory you have given me. You gave it to me because you loved me before the world was created.

25 "Father, you are holy. The world does not know you, but I know you. Those you have given me know you have sent me. 26 I have shown you to them. And I will continue to show you to them. Then the love you have for me will be in them. I myself will be in them."

Actually, the author of this is The Holy Spirit; I am His pen and prayer quill! I hope and pray for you this day that God will bless you with passion and hope for all the children that are in your life-path. Become the best you can be in Christ Jesus! Believe in Him wholeheartedly and continue to grow to a "completely His" choice by choice. To further the development of your servant's heart, I encourage you to check out my website "The Bridegroom's Café". Here you can grow into a seasoned servant as you spend time with Jesus. The Servant Table is a good place to start with today. The meal Jesus has cooked called "Godly Virtue" will season your servant's heart. The Family Table is another great menu for you to "Pray It UP" for your family each week, standing on the promises of God! God Bless You Much!
