A Sweet Ocean Breeze

A Sweet Ocean Breeze

By Kimberlymac

 

A sweet ocean breeze on my face,

reminds me of AWE-GOD'S Grace!

 

New hope rises up, saturating my heart,

I peacefully sit still and receive God's new start.

 

My flesh is tremendously weak, I feel it so!

AWE-GOD You are with me, this I know!

 

I sit at the shore dreaming of things to come,

hoping huge in AWE-GOD, for all not just some.

 

The waves crash violently upon the shore,

and the sandcastle I toiled to build is no more.

 

My mind is stirred with thoughts of 'what for'?

Yet, my heart remains AWE-GOD forevermore!

When God shuts a door, He opens way more!

 

Watching the waves come, I realize-know,

I have willfulness in my soul I must forego!

Selflessness is needed to sow,

in order to have patient-power to go!

 

I will hope in My AWE-GOD,

focus not on my loss;

counting the cost,

I will see past His cross.

 

The ocean breeze was God's tell and show,

I heard it and saw it, therefore,

to His Harvest field I humbly go.

 

Share the gospel, a Kingdom to grow,

AWE-GOD Whose Life all need to know!

 

The Ocean Breeze, Your Grace-Tis Thee,

it touches my passion-with Your heart I agree!

I cry out with purpose, by your eyes I see!

'Do It Again Lord – Salvation! Use Me!'

It is You, AWE-GOD, I hope huge they see!

 

The ocean breeze gently at my back,

I know there is nothing I lack,

His wisdom is sure to keep me on track.

I lean on His truth, this is a fact!

 

My AWE-GOD goes before me,

this truth I clearly see,

in His Presence on bended knee;

in the ALLNESS of His Love for me!

 

Oh Sweet Ocean Breeze-

Gently Breathing God's Grace,

I hope huge today to be a reflection

of AWE-GOD's Face.

 

Written By Kimberlymac

As I Sat At The Beach, Sadly Crying

Out To God, Because I Had Taken A

Step Backwards, Making A Choice

To Give In To Fear- Being Angry-

Not Trusting- Being Impulsive.

I Cried Out To God For Forgiveness.

He Answered With The Poem!

AWE-GOD!

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life A Constant Conversation With You!

 

Unto His Life! Live To Live! Completely Willed By Him 4 Him!

We live by believing, not by seeing.

1 Corinthians 5:7 (NIRV)

Bob was laid off from work yesterday. There is nothing quiet like the feeling of being blindsided by life. We had no idea this was even a remote possibility. So here we are Lord, really in a hard spot but nothing truly has changed because You Are Still Here. Lord, I pray for Your Provision for us. Show us what to do step by step and open the doors for us, those You will.

Today, I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy, purpose that life will not be about me, but all about You, Lord Jesus! Almighty God, You are my all in my everything! From Glory To Glory….. Jesus You Are "Simply Enough"!

Because Of You, I live! Because Of Your Name, I Live In Courage, Strength and Might!

Duet 11:3 …but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God] My God Is Mighty To Save! His Name Is Above All Names! Jesus!

God's Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path, lighting my way through all matters. Psalms 119:105

Isaiah 12:3

Joyfully you'll pull up buckets of water from the wells of salvation. And as you do it, you'll say,

"Give thanks to God.Call out his name. Ask him anything! Shout to the nations, tell them what he's done, spread the news of his great reputation!

James 1:1-5

JAMES, A servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered abroad [among the Gentiles in the dispersion]: Greetings ([a]rejoice)! 2Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. 3Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. 4But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing. 5If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of [b]the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.

Dig Deeper…. Dig Deeper….Dig Deeper….Just Do It!!

God chooses us to "go" through trials, by allowing them as His heart desires for us to "grow" through them. I choose growth today! Quote By Kimberlymac

We both are so very disappointed, especially Bob because he was totally enjoying building that building and now he has to just up and leave it. But we also can see the "spiritual battle" going on here. We know the extreme favor God has given us with the college students at the Well is not to be taken for granted, it is really an AWE-GOD thing! You know when we went to the first meeting for Downtown Live, there was just this feeling in our hearts that this was something huge that God was wanting to do, that the timing was perfect and right and He was going to unfold His plan, the intent of His heart for the students in Downtown Charleston. This is definitely a generation God has His sights on, I call it The Turning Point Generation. I can see this unexpected blindside as a direct hit from the enemy, only what he has underestimated is the Life Saver that is in us, we are struck down but we will rise up because of Jesus in us. One thing I hold on to is the truth that God allows these things to touch our lives for His great purpose and the sweet truth is that in what we call "trials" is a whole lot of His Sovereign Will and when you are in His Sovereign Will you are never far from His Infinite love because the two go hand in hand! AWE-GOD! Bob and I are praying for our next step and we are moving forward with what He has shared with us to do until He changes the direction. A stumbling block will never change our direction because with God you can run through a troop and leap over a wall. The only time we do a U-Turn is when God does it first and we follow after Him. Thanks for the encouragement. You have an AWE-Mazing way of being God's sweet joy to so many. Love ya!

Dig Deeper…. Dig Deeper….Dig Deeper….Just Do It!!

Penny! Praying for her every single day and hoping huge for this wildnerness treck to be over soon and for the Promises of God to be manifested completely in her health. I know one thing is for sure, that sometimes God's Sovereign Will is hard to swallow, but it is never far from His Sovereign Love. He is with her in courage, might, and enduring strength. His love is carrying her.

Dig Deeper…. Dig Deeper….Dig Deeper….Just Do It!!

I think timing is everything, sometimes I jump outside of God's timing instead of waiting patiently and praying first. I think Patience adds God's power to our words. Kimberly mac

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

Celeste Li http://www.triumphoversuffering.org/

Who came up with the Vanquishing Damaged Emotions? LOL! That is not going to fly!! LOL!  How about something like Exchanged Lies For Truth?? Because that is exactly what I did! Hey, you know what... I wanted to tell you that God's Purpose in me taking that class was so timely, of course you know that... but to encourage you, I have to tell you right?!  Anyway, Bob got laid off yesterday and it was a huge blindside, we never, never expected that!! BUT GOD... I am totally ready for this trial because I have the truth in me now... God's Sovereign Plan is not far from His Infinite Love and I am no longer afraid or anxious about sufferings and trials anymore and this current one proved that I have been healed and set free in that area... I mean I am still sad for him and disappointed and don't know what the heck God is doing, but I do know His Love is with me and that trial is a part of His Sovereign Plan and that is all good.  I have peace, which is a huge victory for me because I always feared that I could not handle a sudden trial, actually I never could handle them, I always fell to fear... but this time I did not... isn't that cool! Thanks Celese... I am a life changed... keep sharing the vision God has given you! Hope all is well.

Be completely dependent upon God! Put all Your Hope And Expectation In Him! Be Wholly Confident In Him In Your All And Everything This Day! Set Your Mind In His Truth-Promises! Please God 1st Today! You Go Firstee! Put God 1st!

Romans 8: 5-8

Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God's action in them find that God's Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn't pleased at being ignored.

talk it up! facebook note about praying for our military

Hey friends!

I have a great love for the United States Military as many of you know and I pray for them weekly and encourage these warriors and their family as much as I can. (See The Military Table At: http://thebridegroomscafe.com ) Our Military Warriors are defending and protecting our liberty here on this earth. Yet, there is another Warrior, that leads out in all of our spiritual battles by teaching us how to stand in Christ Jesus and fight and by leading us into the service of The Kingdom of God. These warriors many times are shepherding us and standing in the gap for us at a great personal cost to them and their families. This Warrior, I call Pastor.

I know I have and I know we all at times take our pastors for granted, we don't realize the spiritual battles that they are in because they lead-shepherd The Bride Of Christ. They are being shot at by spiritual enemies every single day! I believe that God is asking us to give back to these Pastors and Pastor's Wives who sacrifice so much for us, who are in the heat of spiritual battle on our behalf.

In a time such as this, God is asking us to pray, to undergird them in prayer on Fridays! And I believe, the best way we can make an eternal difference, a difference that matters in their lives is to pray for them, call their names out to God!

I am obeying God as He has asked me to set aside Friday as Pastor Pray Day. I am compiling a list of pastors from all over the world, many of you have given me your Pastors and wives names and many of you are weekly praying for the pastors listed at The Bridegrooms' Café / The Servant Table/(The Right Sidedish) Dig Deeper. I thank you for that!

This Pastor Prayer list is purposely put on the Dig Deeper Side Dish Of The Servant Table of The Bridegrooms Café Website (http://thebridegroomscafe.com) because we as God's Servants need to dig deeper and take time out of our schedules to call these Pastors names out to God, it is His desire for a time such as this that they be covered in prayer for protection, provision, purpose and peace.

What God is asking You to do is what I am asking you to do:

1.      What I am asking you to do is join this intercession army for Pastors for a time such as this!

2.     What I am asking you to do is submit your pastor and wives name to this website so others can pray for them.

3.     What I am asking you to do is to pass this note along to at least 5 people you know and let us together raise up an Intercession Army that is praying for pastors on Friday, calling their names out to Almighty God!

Thank You!

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/servant.htm Click on the Right Side Bar Of This Table Called: Dig Deeper and then pray for the pastors and wives listed there and add the ones you know who are not on the list!

Galatians 1:12 (NLT) I received my message from no human source, and no

Jeremiah 17: 5-6 God's Message:

"Cursed is the strong one who depends on mere humans, Who thinks he can make it on muscle alone and sets God aside as dead weight. He's like a tumbleweed on the prairie, out of touch with the good earth. He lives rootless and aimless in a land where nothing grows. 7-8"But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers—Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season. 9-10"The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be."

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

http://pamslifeadventure.blogspot.com/

I've been wandering up and down this hall for quite some time almost as though I were lost, but then again, not. Which way should I go, which room should I enter today? All of a sudden my eyes gaze upon a sign on the door just ahead of me: The Turning Point. Maybe this is where I can find some answers to my wanderings and at times, weariness. Well, as the saying goes...Here goes nothing, or maybe in my case it could be here comes everything. Enter with me if you'd like.

In the far corner of a bookshelf, in a worn out journal long forgotten from my many years past,the pages tattered and worn, I find these words: Our lives have many ups and downs, Joys and frowns..yet deep within each crying heart is a need to belong...a place to start..to set our sites on Heaven above and to seek His wisdom and His love..to know that as we carry life's baggage around His love and mercy will always abound. He can lift us up and bring us to that turning point in our walk with Him. To know that only through Jesus blood shed for our sins we are made the victors in and through God's mercy and grace.

So as I said when I entered this room, "Would it be here goes nothing or here comes everything?" I've found that in here it did come..that turning point in my life where the wandering is becoming less frequent and the weariness is almost gone. I awaken, turn, and point my way toward Jesus at the beginning of each new dawn. As I place the old journal back on the shelf and walk out the door I stop and say "Thank-you" once more!

AWE-GOD! I agree with our need to belong and I find, just as you spoke so sweetly, that fulfilling that need begins everyday at God's feet. Here comes everything! Yeah God! I can so empathize with the weariness you talked about. I had it for years because I was trying to "fix" everything and everyone. I am no longer the fixer and over the years of learning to just "be" His, I am no longer soul weary! Praise God! Thank you sweet friend for this post, may God bless all who read it! Take Care! Enjoy!

Waiting On God's Perfect Timing

June 24, 2009 by Robert  
Filed under Christian Articles, Faith, God's Love, trust in god

Waiting is one of the most difficult things to do, whether we're waiting for a bus, a phone call or an answered prayer.  We become impatient and wonder why everyone else is holding us up and keeping us from getting what we want.  It seems like the more we want something, the harder it is to wait – and we even get impatient with God!

But we have to remember that God's timing is different than our own.  He sees things from a different perspective and sees the whole picture, not just what we want, but what is best for us in the grand plan for our lives.  All is part of a divine order and will be done in its own right and proper time.  Of course, when we are hoping, praying and waiting for something, it's easy to forget this.  After all, waiting is "remaining inactive in one place while expecting something."  And being inactive means feeling powerless and at the mercy of the world – nobody likes that feeling.  But we must keep in mind God's greater plan and his perfect timing:

"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose."

- Romans 8:28

—-

"Trust in Him at all times, O people."

- Psalm 62:8

What are YOU Waiting For?

What are you waiting for in your life?  A new job, financial security, healing, a baby, a restored marriage?  It seems that no matter where we are in our lives, we are waiting for something in the future.  Our lives are never stagnant; if we are moving forward, there is always something to expect or wait for around the next bend in the road of our lives.

There are many stories of "waiting" in the Bible.  In some stories, the waiting seemed to last forever, while others only waited a few intense moments.  The key to waiting is not the length of time but how we handle the wait.  The Bible teaches us that we should "wait on the Lord."  We must look with confidence and expectation toward the future, trusting that God will fulfill our waiting in good and proper time.

There are three actions that will help you wait on the Lord patiently and with faith, knowing and believing that He will help:

1.  Trust – If we doubt God's willingness to hear and answer our prayer, we may begin to feel bitter when we think God has heard our prayer but is silent.  Scripture teaches us that God is unchangeable, which means He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and we can always rely on Him to provide the best possible path for our lives!  God said that He will never leave us or forsake us.  If He seems silent now, it is because He has another plan, different timing or a way to answer our prayer that has not been revealed to us yet.  We must trust in His plan.

2.  Resist – We must resist the temptation to take matters into our own hands.  Patience is powerful.  Having patience is essential in many circumstances and the Holy Spirit is here to fill us with this patience when we feel we cannot wait another minute on God.  The safest place we can rest is in God's Will.  When we rest here, resisting temptation is easy.

3.  Pray – How many times have you given a prayer request to God and felt He was deaf?  During these times, you need to keep on praying, but pray the right way. God always answers our prayers, but it may not be the way we want Him or expect Him to.  It may be a yes, a no or something better.  When we don't immediately get the answer we want, we have a tendency to repeat the same prayer over and over until we either lose our voice or simply give up.  After we have given our need to the Lord, we must turn our request into a "Thank you," and an attitude of expectancy, and say, "Not my will, but Yours, Lord."  When we thank the Lord in advance for answering our prayers, it is an active display of our faith that demonstrates to God our confident expectation that His awesome power will provide for us.

This Prayer can help you as you wait on God's perfect timing:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I have been waiting for ________________ for so long now, and I come before You today to ask your help.  I pray that You will increase my faith and patience so that I will put my whole trust in your perfect timing and plan for my life.  I will put my complete trust in You with confidence and eager expectation of Your answer, whatever that answer may be and whenever that answer may come.

Thank you that you are always with me.

Thank you that You hear my prayers and will answer in Your time and in Your way.  You, Lord, are without limits.

Thank You for Your unfailing word and that You always keep Your promises to me.

I believe with my heart, mind and soul Your plan for my life is the best one possible and I thank You for Your answer.

Being in Your will is the safest place I can ever reside.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

We affirm  God's Perfect Timing .  Trusting in God, to see His will and  perfect order unfold in our lives.

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

The Holy Spirit led me here because I really needed this wisdom and truth today . I got a very unexpected disappointment. I had a plan and things were going exactly the way I planned and then suddenly, it unexpectedly fell through. I realized this morning that I can rely upon God, even if the suddenly and the unexpected bring great chaos in my life path. He has not changed. I thank you for that truth, it undergirds me even now. I love the statement you said: Patience is powerful. I am praying for the power of God's patience to keep me as He works out His perfect will for my best. Sometimes in the past, I have been so impulsive after these "suddenly" things have hit my life. "Patience is powerful" is the perfect mind-bite for me to chomp during these times when I am tempted to be impulsive. I am so grateful for that small, yet very significant piece of wisdom that lights my path today with wisdom that constrains my flesh! LOL! I also love what you said about "flip-flopping our request into thankfulness. That is really cool! I can see now how that is truly a confidence builder and an AWE-GOD developer, which really ties into something God has asked me to do this year and that is to develop my AWE of Him. Thank you for your ministry. I am a life changed. God Bless You Much!

Thanks Pastor Elliott For Sending Me This Devotional:

1 Corinthians 3:9-15

For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building.10 Because of God's grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. 12 Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. 13 But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value.

14 If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. 15 But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.

Written By Pastor Elliott:

I must confess that many of my works would not stand the Test. The 'Test' Paul is speaking about is the Judgment Seat of Christ where all the works of the believers will be tested. The more I grow in my relationship with Jesus Christ, my motives, my words, my attitude and my spirit are scrutinized and exposed. As I deal with confrontation, I have to ask myself some questions to prepare for the Test. I encourage you to ask yourself the same questions:

1. Are my motives pure? Whether it be preparing a sermon, making a visit to a shut-in, or any other work of the ministry. Am I led by the Spirit or the flesh? Am I doing this to please men or God?

2. How am I choosing my words when I minister or just speaking in casual conversation? The cost of poorly chosen words can take a long time and a lot of prayer to recover what is lost in one statement. Poorly chosen words can cost friendships and harm our credibility as witnesses for Jesus Christ.

3. My attitude is a direct and outward evidence of whether I am submitted to my flesh or the Holy Spirit.

4. That 'new creation' who was born of incorruptible seed that day I received Jesus Christ as LORD, will always, always, always, point people to Jesus Christ. The Spirit will always build on the FOUNDATION that is TRUE and WORTHY. Am I yielded to the right SPIRIT? The great deceiver can lay many traps that look very religious that bring no glory to God. Let us scrutinize and discern the true path that leads people to Jesus Christ.

It comes down to this, my friends. Simply put, "It's all about Jesus Christ". He and He alone will be the final judge of your and my works. No other person, church leader, denominational president, committee, or authority will be sitting beside Him on that day.

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

AWE-GOD!! One question really popped out at me today: Am I yielded to the right spirit and it is so convicting when I think that my attitudes were crappy yesterday because something I planned fell through and my car did not start and I yielded to the thief who stole my joy! hmmmmmm thanks for the truth this morning, it corrects my internal compass and makes my way straight today! Yeah God! Hope your day is blessed! Enjoy!

Pastor David Soesbee On Facebook

Big Time word, "Faithful". Faith is believing that an unseen God is big enough to know everything about you, to care intimately for you, and to provide for all your needs. Being "faithful" is living like you believe in that definition of faith. It's easy to be faithful when everything is going well. Its a lot tougher to be faithful when you live with difficult times. Have faith and trust that God will be Faithful.

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

QUOTES THAT INSPIRE GROWTH AND CHANGE

What are you afraid of? Let God act. Abandon yourself to Him. You will suffer, but you will suffer with love, peace and consolation. You will fight, but you can carry off the victory, and God Himself, after having fought with you, will crown you with His own hand. You will weep, but your tears will be sweet, and God Himself will come with satisfaction to dry them. You will not be free any longer to give yourself up to your tyrannic passions, but you will sacrifice your liberty freely, and you will enter into a new liberty unknown to the world, in which you will do nothing except for love.

Francois Fenelon

Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God. By Robert Schuller

What should we set as our ultimate goal in this life? The answer: the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be.... I sought no more than how to be God's and God's alone. My goal made me resolve to give my all for the All.... Always I worshiped Him as often as I could, keeping my mind in His holy presence. When I wandered I brought Him back to my mind.... At all times, every hour, every minute, even at the busiest times. I drove away from my mind everything capable of spoiling the sense of the presence of God.... I just make it my business to persevere in His holy presence... My soul has had an habitual, silent, secret conversation with God.

Quote By: Brother Lawrence

One way to recollect the mind easily in the time of prayer, and preserve it more in tranquillity, is not to let it wander too far at other times. You should keep it strictly in the presence of God; and being accustomed to think of Him often, you will find it easy to keep your mind calm in the time of prayer, or at least to recall it from its wanderings.

Psalm 34: 1-9

I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise. 2 I live and breathe God; if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy: 3 Join me in spreading the news; together let's get the word out. 4 God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears. 5 Look at him; give him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from him. 6 When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot. 7 God's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.

8 Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see— how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. 9 Worship God if you want the best; worship opens doors to all his goodness.

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

I was thinking about anxiety and how sometimes it really attacks me with paralyzed fear. I realized this is a way out of my anxiety attacks. How:

1st Expand my lungs with praise.

2nd Breathe in His Presence, exhale my fear

3rd Reach out of the anxiety towards God and He will meet me

4th Activate The Promises, Spread Them In My Mind And He Will Free Me With Them. Exchange the lies for the promise

5th Call out to God, Speak The Name Of Jesus. There Is Freedom In The Name Of Jesus.

6th Begin praying and asking God for help to get free of the anxiety because in this, God encircles me with warring angels to protect my vulnerable state.

7th Don't close up my stance open up my body to God, open up my soul, my heart and mind completely to God.

8th Wait on Him, knowing that because I turned to outward to Him and not inward to the fear, that His Blessing is soon to come.

9th Wait in worship and expect freedom! Begin worshipping Him, speaking worship from my lips to His heart. Praise Him. There is freedom and power in praise and I must tap into it.
