AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage

I Kimberly Ann McCarthy am determined to be found in the Love of Christ that has been lavished upon me with such abundance. Infinitely So! I will gratefully and with thanksgiving receive this great love of my AWE-GOD and love everyone, everyday, everywhere!

1 Peter 1:3-7

Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that [a]final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. 6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, 7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.

Amplified Bible

charles spurgeon devotional

Charles Spurgeon "Wait on the Lord."
Psalm 27:14

It may seem an easy thing to wait, but it is one of the postures which a Christian soldier learns not without years of teaching. Marching and quick-marching are much easier to God's warriors than standing still. There are hours of perplexity when the most willing spirit, anxiously desirous to serve the Lord, knows not what part to take. Then what shall it do? Vex itself by despair? Fly back in cowardice, turn to the right hand in fear, or rush forward in presumption? No, but simply wait. Wait in prayer, however. Call upon God, and spread the case before him; tell him your difficulty, and plead his promise of aid. In dilemmas between one duty and another, it is sweet to be humble as a child, and wait with simplicity of soul upon the Lord. It is sure to be well with us when we feel and know our own folly, and are heartily willing to be guided by the will of God. But wait in faith. Express your unstaggering confidence in him; for unfaithful, untrusting waiting, is but an insult to the Lord. Believe that if he keep you tarrying even till midnight, yet he will come at the right time; the vision shall come and shall not tarry. Wait in quiet patience, not rebelling because you are under the affliction, but blessing your God for it. Never murmur against the second cause, as the children of Israel did against Moses; never wish you could go back to the world again, but accept the case as it is, and put it as it stands, simply and with your whole heart, without any self-will, into the hand of your covenant God, saying, "Now, Lord, not my will, but thine be done. I know not what to do; I am brought to extremities, but I will wait until thou shalt cleave the floods, or drive back my foes. I will wait, if thou keep me many a day, for my heart is fixed upon thee alone, O God, and my spirit waiteth for thee in the full conviction that thou wilt yet be my joy and my salvation, my refuge and my strong tower."

We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.

R. A. Torrey

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Even in the midst of all the chaos, distress or crises beyond our control, we must rest, trusting that we're safe in the loving arms of the Father. We shouldn't have a care in the world.

Kimberly, is your world being shaken right now? Know that God is holding you today. No matter what you're facing, you can trust Him to cover you. Just lay back and enjoy the ride!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love, George, @worthyemail

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

Shaken! Oh My Gosh! Yes! Nothing is going as I planned in my life. Even coming to Georgia was different than what I thought would be happening. All I know is that I am in God's perfect will, according to His purpose and that has to be simply-significantly enough for me. I am way, way out of my comfort zone so that puts me way, way into a trusting God principle-purpose-precinct!

Excerpts-Thoughts From The Bridegroom's Voice

Tue. Aug 30th 2011 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 2

  • I will teach you how to side step the tornados that suddenly arise in your path and I will give you the wisdom of how to stand safely outside these temporary whirlwinds of your enemy until they spin out.
  • This is a wisdom I desperately need. My mind gets filled with these tornados and as I chase them, the emotional devastation is great.
  • Holy Spirit, teach me the wisdom of waiting out these mind-tornados my enemy spins up with "What If" circulations, tempests of doubt, fear, anxiety.
  • Lies, doubts, fears, anxieties will eventually spin out, only truth has to power to prevail. Wait on God, and every untruth spun in your mind will unravel.

Matthew 25:11-13

Later the other virgins also came and said, Lord, Lord, open [the door] to us! 12 But He replied, I solemnly declare to you, I do not know you [I am not acquainted with you]. 13Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come.

Amplified Bible Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

  • We can get so busy with all the whirlwinds the enemy spins in our mind, that we are missing out on the real things that are happening, the God Things.
  • Be cautious. Be ready for each day, by guarding my heart with the truth and promises of God.
  • Know God. My relationship with God should be my number one priority. I should not be chasing the tornados the enemy spins, I should be still before my God in AWE with my ears listening for His voice. This is how my day should start.
  • Every day I should anticipate the adventure I will be on with Awe-GOD and not start my day dreading the things I my enemy will throw in my path.

Sometimes…

When there is nothing left, let Your healing come, until we are rising up, let Your healing come. Where You go, we will follow. It is Your love we adore, we are lost in You, Jesus.

When we've given up, let Your healing come. When there's nothing left, let Your healing Come. Where You go we will follow. Jesus!

Don't be afraid! Where You Go, We Will Follow! I am on my knees, lost in You, Jesus.

Sometimes everyone of us feels like we will never be healed. Sometimes everyone of us aches, likes we'll never be saved. When we've given up, let Your healing come.

There's never a holiday in the spiritual realm...nothing but the full armor of God will ever suffice us in this terrible conflict in which we are engaged. There is no protection...against this wily, subtle, powerful enemy but the full armor of God himself.

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Your son is so blessed to have been given you as a mom, you are a Bright Light in his life at a time where a lot of parents have just stopped encouraging their kids, you keep glowing God's glory and truth. I pray for more parents like you. Age of our children, never breaks the divine connection God put between us. Our society says so, our culturalism demands it... but we, God's family need to keep that divine connection open between our children, no matter what their age because it was a gift from God, a divine responsibility to train up, share wisdom and now and always love them and love is never without the wisdom of God flowing to and from each other . You are a blessing!

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Isn't that the truth Brian! He is with you, He is for you and the cool thing is God's work is never finished, the devil may be at work, but he won't be finishing it. God has the final say and in that there is huge hope. God always finishes what He starts, the devil messes God makes miracles. AWE-GOD! He is being, He was being, He will always be... Nothing can stop God from being, so be assured in that. Take Care

Fun! No matter what age you are, fun is a state of mind. It is an attitude, it is the way you live your life! John Maxwell

Pastor Wimbish Nehemiah: Fight

Nehemiah went to rebuild the wall and establish the city as a place of honor.

If you are not a threat to the enemy, he won't mess with you. When you start doing what God has called you to, you have a target on your back. If he is messing with you, you are doing something right. Nehemiah faced a lot of ridicule and his enemies plotted to kill them. Nehemiah 4: When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the officials, do not be afraid to them, remember the Lord Who is great and awesome and fight for your daughters, sons, wives and houses. Focus in on God's call and grow through adversity. The enemy is gunning for us, remind yourself as Nehemaih reminded his men, The Lord is great and awesome and we are fighting for Him for our family, friends and culture. God has us in a great story that has already been won, so keep fighting for your family, friends and culture

Hi Todd! You have a wonderful mom! One of the coolest things about God is He was, He is and He will ALWAYS be. God is always being and for sure you, Todd, will have an Advocate Who is always BEING for you. God Is For You! Never Forget That! So when this AWE-GOD takes you down an unfamiliar road that you are not at all comfortable with, just "grow with it" because His Kingdom purposes are always in play for your good, you can count on that Todd. So my wisdom is to always "Give God Time To Work", don't be impulsive when He breaches your comfort zone. Stay Put, Positioned In His Grace, Trusting Him, Because You Know All Things Seen Will Eventually Be All Kingdom Good, As Your Advocate God Works Out His Sovereign Will From The Unseen Into Your Seen Reality!

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

Ephesians 2:18-20

For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him]. 19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household. 20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.

Thoughts As I Listen To Ephesians Chapter Two:

I was dead in sin. I followed the ways of this world. Gratifying the cravings of what I wanted. Nature wrathful. God who is rich in mercy made me alive in Christ even when I was dead in sin. It is by Grace I have been saved. God has raised me up with Christ. His grace is expressed in kindness towards me. It is by grace I have been saved, through faith. It is not about me or what I can do, It is God's gift. I am God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, things God prepared I advance for me. I was separate from Christ, excluded and without hope. But in Christ Jesus I have been brought near to God through the blood of Christ. Jesus destroys the hostility by abolishing the law by His crucifixion. Reconciling me to God through the cross. Jesus came and preached peace and through Him I have access to the father God by the Holy Spirit. I am a citizen, a member of God's household, Jesus as the chief cornerstone…. We are his building that rises to become the Holy Temple fo the Lord. I am a dwelling by which God lives by His Spirit.

Lost in sin, following the ways of the world, I was the manager and owner of my life. Then came Jesus! Now He owns me! #WednesdayWanted

God Of The City!

Psalm 139 ~ The Amplified Bible

1O LORD, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me. 2You know my downsitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off. 3You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and You are acquainted with all my ways. 4For there is not a word in my tongue [still unuttered], but, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. 5You have beset me and shut me in--behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me 6Your [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me, I cannot reach it. 7Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? 8If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there. 9If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. (MSG)

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Hey everyone!

Just thinking about our class last night and had a few comments:

Sometimes… life just stinks! You never planned to be where you are, but you know God has allowed it to touch your life. He owns your life. You are His manager of your life that He owns and you follow after the Owner of your life and this is dependence you declare every day as you seek God 1st. God is the owner, you are the manager. You can't manage your life very well without being led by the Owner. He holds the keys to the house!

The greatest place to be is a position where you have given up. Okay Lord! I surrender! You don't know your next step, everything is unfamiliar and you are so way out of your comfort zone. I love the song: Something by David Crowder band ( I put a link to it below) because it says exactly how I have felt and feel at times. Knowing your next step truly is all about surrender, giving up and looking to God, waiting on Him, learning to trust that "He's Got This" even when it looks and feels like He doesn't!! Faith is not looking at the seen and wishing for comfort and ease, faith is believing in the unseen and hoping for God's Kingdom to come into your reality on earth as it is in heaven.

Why do we wait on God, well many reasons but one comes to mind about us being so torn up by life, by the consequences of our sins and the sins of others, this is not a place where we can make a functional decision, but when we turn to God, we abandoned ourselves to His Love, we seek Him 1st, then He heals us and this is the 1st part of His guiding us, healing our emotions and giving us eyes to see the truth about our heart motives and where we are in our life relationship with Him.

When we get lost in Jesus, the One Who holds our future then through His eyes, we will see our next step and the peace and stability of His life is what we follow. We can get so lost in God, so lost in His Love that all we eventually will see and feel the desire to grow and go and go for Him alone. Life then stops being about us and what we want and begins to be about following God for what He desires. Then it doesn't matter where He sends us, because we know He is with us, for us and His Kingdom purposes through us will make an eternal mark in our lives.

Christ is Wisdom 

"We preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 

 Christ is the wisdom of God, so to know Him is to know and understand godly wisdom. The life of Jesus illustrates for us wisdom and His teaching educates us in wisdom. It's in relationship with God the Son that Christians are able to grow in godly wisdom. The source of wise counsel is found in Christ—like pure water bubbles from the crevice of a remote mountain rock, so God's living water of truth flows from the heart of Jesus.  

Because wisdom starts with Jesus, it is necessary to first enter into a personal relationship with Christ. The Holy Scriptures declare a Savior who is looking to love all those who come to Him in faith and repentance. Salvation in Jesus Christ is the first step required to obtain His wisdom. Fear of God leads to faith in God—which can then access the wisdom of God. So, have you placed your faith in Jesus Christ? If so you are very wise.  

"Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15b).

Since we have access to wisdom through faith in Jesus, then it is wise to lean into understanding His ways. We can anticipate—like a starved man or woman coming off of a ten-day hunger strike—we have a smorgasbord of truth at our disposal. His wisdom is rich in relational nutrients, financial nourishment and emotional energy. Your Savior Jesus is not stingy with His counsel—He liberally gives wisdom to those He loves. 

As the personification of wisdom we look and see a man who unconditionally loved people. He loved the rich and the poor—He loved all races—He loved male and female alike—He loved city folks and country dwellers—the educated and uneducated felt His fierce love—Kings and commoners did not escape His all-consuming compassion. Jesus, the all-wise one, initiated conversations of wisdom—He went to the people with wisdom. 

Who in your circle of influence is hungry for you to love by passing on to them the wisdom of Christ? Once you discover His freeing truth, you are responsible to pay it forward by faith to other hungry hearts. Lead people to the waters of Christ's wisdom and they will never thirst again. Not only do you give a cup of wisdom in Jesus' name, but you show them how to draw from the deep well of His wisdom. Jesus is the wisdom of God.

"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts" (Colossians 3:16). 

How can I grow to better know Christ by gaining His wisdom found in the Holy Scriptures? 

Related Readings: Romans 16:27; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:17; Colossians 1:28 

1 Corinthians 1:30 New International Version (NIV)

30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

Ephesians 1:17

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage

1 Corinthians 15:10 (AMP)

But by the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not [found to be] for nothing (fruitless and without effect). In fact, I worked harder than all of them [the apostles], though it was not really I, but the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God which was with me.

A Minute With Maxwell

Peace!

All of us want peace in our life. Before you can ever find peace outwardly, you have to have it inwardly. Peace is an inside job. Highly successful people are bigger on the inside than they are the outside. Get your values right, start peace on the inside and it will grow to the outside. Bigger Splashes for a moment, don't last too long are bigger on the outside than on the inside.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28 NIV

Notes From Galatains 3:

Foolish Galatians! Jesus was clearly crucified. Did you receive the Holy Spirit by human effort? Have you suffered for nothing? Observe the Law or believe what is heard. Believe God, It is Right. God justified us by faith. All nations will be blessed by our faith. All who rely on religiosity will rely on the curse. The righteous live by faith. The law is not based on faith… Christ redeemed us by becoming a curse for us. He redeemed us in order that by faith we might receive the Holy Spirit in all His promise. One person, Christ… the law does not set aside the Covenant set aside by God… the inheritance does not depend upon the law. God gave it to Abraham through the promise. The law was added because of transgressions and added before Jesus came. The law is not opposed to promises of God, the scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what is promised, Jesus is given to those who believe. The law leads us to Jesus that we might be justified by faith. Now we are under supervision by Jesus We are baptized by Christ, clothed by Christ and all one in Christ. I am Abraham's Seed and heir according to the promise.

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

I love that! The law leads me to Jesus supervision! Jesus thank you for Your redemption. I know that the law has not made me perfect. We taught yesterday about how in our "human condition" we want to do those things that are right, we truly do, but we fall into our fleshly enticements at times. You, have redeemed us and made a way for us to be forgiven. All we have to do is ask and You forgive. I pray you will forgive me for my attitude on Saturday and the actions that I decided as I followed my feelings. It was foolishness. I ask you to forgive me and I am thankful for this chance to put it behind me and grow on. Jesus!

Divine Test By Boyd Baily

"When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do." John 6:5-6

Life is full of tests. There are a series of tests through the years of formal education. A test is required to receive a learner's permit—then a driver's license. There are personality tests, vision tests, hearings tests and blood tests. There are tests of endurance in mountain climbing, mental tests for marathon runners and tests for alcohol intake. Like it or not—tests measure current progress—and they are an indicator of future direction.

More specifically, the Christian life is a series of divine tests. These are moments along our path of faith that our Heavenly Father wants to reveal to us what's really in our heart. This raw revelation can be rewarding or it can be a reality check of regression. Either way His tests are meant to motivate us forward in a step of growth in grace and love.

"The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul" (Deuteronomy 13:3b).

Moreover, your Master Jesus already knows your heart—He just wants you to know—so you will deeply desire to know Him. Yes, the Lord may puzzle His people at times, but only so they can experience Him through His generous provision and pervasive power. Your divine test is an opportunity to rest in Christ and allow Him to forge your faith. As a red-hot furnace burns away impurities and brings forth its essence, so tests do for us.

"The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart" (Proverbs 17:3).

What tests do you face? A test of patience—wait well on the Lord and others. A test of financial security—trust that you have all you need now and for the future in Christ. A test in giving to those in need—take the first step and watch Jesus multiple your gift beyond its capacity. A test in obedience—act immediately with joyful service. A test of physical and emotional health—find solace and strength in your Creator's care and love.

You will excel in your divine tests by trust in God and service to those in greater need. Tests are relative based on your life circumstance—there are always others whose pain is deeper, whose suffering is more severe and whose trials seem insurmountable. Thus, see your divine test as an opportunity to trust the Lord to provide for you and for those He is calling you to love. You pass His tests, so you can pass on His hope to others being tested.

"Do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness" (Hebrews 3:8).

What is the Lord teaching me in my time of testing; that I can pass on to help others?

Thank You! We were really shepherded this weekend in the excellence of God! I am so thankful for those "seasoned servants" of God whose lives reflect this:

"If Jesus Christ is my master in the sense of being my Lord, then all the plans of my life must be laid down for His supervision-judgment-authority. I go where He sends me; I do what He tells me; I stay where He bids me." Robert Speer

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

From Pastor Wimbish

"For all of them were trying to frighten us, [f]thinking, "[g]They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, (E)O God, strengthen my hands." - Nehemiah 6. 8 & 9

God is using you all to do great things! The enemy will seek to discourage & deceive us. Pray God would strengthen our hands today.

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Thank you! I just love this devotional! I think you were the one who originally sent it to me, but everyday it blesses me huge... I want to get a copy of one of his devotional books for Bob, he just says things that are so profound and you can feel the Holy Spirit in His Words...  Thanks for thinking of me, I so appreciate you.  You have no idea.  Saturday I gave in to my "fleshly pouty party" so much so I dropped offline, I could not stay on... well I could have if I had not decided to party with my pity!!!! Friday I had the car to run errands, the 1st day I have gotten out in 10 days and it was 102 degrees, I felt sick every time I got out of the car just to go into a store.  Then the one night we were going to get out and have a date on Friday, he was ready at 6pm, I got lost trying to get back to the base, really lost... I picked him up at 8pm... I hate it here. This is really a hard assignment.  Then Bob is closing one job out, starting another one.  He worked 75 hours this week.  So you can imagine, I spent a lot of time alone. Saturday, He said he would get off around 4pm, bring some pizza home.  So, I don't hear from him until I see him jump online Saturday, he was still at work, didn't bother to call me, leaves me there stranded with no dinner... he gets home around 8 and needless to say we had a "conversation"!!!  Of course the next day we have to teach on "spiritual warfare"....  luckily we were able to work it all out before we went to bed and God was able to use us Sunday.  We had numbers outrageous... come to services...  Just think before Bob came they were running maybe 100 per weekend in 3 services and this weekend we were up to 550. You can't manufacture that. God is up to something here for this season of time, it is just crazy awesome!  I just get concerned about Bob working those kind of hours and it bothers me in American companies today that they actually expect that.  He goes in at 6am gets off at 7:30  works all day Saturday and then in ministry all day Sunday.  I am just concerned and I shared it with him.  I told him there is no reason why you can't wind the job down and leave at 6:30... so he promised to try to get home by 6:30 this week.  We will see! Workaholic! LOL!!!!  Well, I hope you get better, take care of that hand my friend. Thank you for all you are to me, I love your caring heart, your sweet genuineness and the way you take care of your friends.  I am blessed!

 

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Worthy News Brief - August 29, 2011

Kimberly, follow through!

Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Knowing He was about to depart, Yeshua (Jesus) left His disciples with a final command: stay in Jerusalem, and wait...for the promise. Of the thousands who had witnessed His miraculous ministry and heard His amazing teaching, and the hundreds that had actually seen Him after the resurrection, we read in Acts that only 120 stayed and tarried until the promise arrived. But these 120 were steadfast. They waited the full term...

What would have happened if they had left after the 4th day? Or the 6th day? Or the 9th day? They would have missed the promise and the amazing blessing that came with it. But those 120 believers stayed - they stayed and pressed in until the Holy Spirit came!

Kimberly, Do you want the fullness of the Spirit in your life? Continue pressing in. Wait with relentless faith and patience. Perseverance is often the critical factor in receiving the promises of God. Our Lord will fulfill every good promise in His perfect time. Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah Negev Desert, Israel

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

That is so true, perseverance is our choice. Help us to remember how powerful perseverance is, help us to remember it and act on this truth from the moment we feel we are going to give up to the next choice, help us to stand in Your strength, hope, truth and promise. Jesus!

****My Prayer! I Place All My Expectation In You, Almighty God!*****

Psalm 62:5 (amplified) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Father touch 851 by Your Spirit today. Finish what you started in 851. Send your Holy Spirit to make a way of repentance and change. Jesus. Open the door for 851 to reach out to me, to YOU. Jesus.

Lord Jesus touch little Fynley heal her body and strengthen her by Your Spirit.

Father touch my friend dealing with a suddenly health crisis, be with him, direct him, give the doctors wisdom, hold him in your healing hands.

Father touch Rebecca, heal her body, strengthen her Jesus. Give her a great breathing day today. Jesus.

Father Heal Christy's hand by your Spirit.

Father be with Kat, help her to get home safely, take care of her Jesus by Your Spirit. AMEN!

 

McCARTHY FAMILY PRAYER

Ephesians 3: 14-21 Draw Us (BOB, KIM, BRAD, BONNIE, KIELE, RYANNE, CHRIS, SUMMER, NOAH, KENNETH, TINA) To You That We Might Walk With You This Day And Forever!

Hey precious family! Crazy Awesome things are going on here at the Ft. Benning base with the soldiers. It is not explainable. It is just something God is doing for this season. The numbers of soldiers coming on Sunday has gone from 15o to 550… that can only be God. He is working on this base right now and Dad and I are just humbled to the core of our being as we know God purposefully used a very hard time in our life to bring us here to this moment of time to be used by Him and to be a small part of what He is doing here. This weekend 80 soldiers gave their life to Christ. The sessions we had were amazing there was such a hunger for God as we taught you could see it as they took notes, as they made eye contact, as they spoke with us afterwards, that God was working. You can't manufacture that kind of thing. God is at work here and all we can do is praise Him. Every time I get up and share Christ with the soldiers, I am reminded why I am here. The adjustment here has been hard. The heat especially! Friday it was 102 degrees. Friday was not a good day because Dad and I had planned to have a date night, I had the truck so I had to pick him up and even with the GPS, I got lost… finally picked him up at 8pm… took me over an hour and a half… I saw some places in Columbus Georgia, you would not want to be in… then when the GPS finally finds a gate I can take to get in this massive base it is closed off with barricades and I thought… Oh… so close but yet so far away… I still can't find my hubby!!!! I know…. I can hear you laugh, only me… I miss my family, grandkids and my mountain home, my things, my life-style, but OH… I would not change all of this discomfort for a moment, I know I am privileged by God to be here to be with these soldiers being His encouragement to them. AWE-GOD!

Have a great week because the weekend is gonna be joyful! Can't wait to see you all

Matthew 13 ~ The Message Bible

The Meaning of the Harvest Story

18-19"Study this story of the farmer planting seed. When anyone hears news of the kingdom and doesn't take it in, it just remains on the surface, and so the Evil One comes along and plucks it right out of that person's heart. This is the seed the farmer scatters on the road. 20-21"The seed cast in the gravel—this is the person who hears and instantly responds with enthusiasm. But there is no soil of character, and so when the emotions wear off and some difficulty arrives, there is nothing to show for it. 22"The seed cast in the weeds is the person who hears the kingdom news, but weeds of worry and illusions about getting more and wanting everything under the sun strangle what was heard, and nothing comes of it. 23"The seed cast on good earth is the person who hears and takes in the News, and then produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams."

My Thoughts-Prayers About These Verses As I Listen To The Holy Spirit:

Lord make the ground of our hearts: Bob, Kim, Brad, Bonnie, Kiele, Ryanne, Chris, Summer, Noah, Kenneth, Tina, Baby D, some crazy awesome, good earth where the seed of Your Word, Your Truth grows in our hearts and produces Your Character, Your Life in us from every moment we experience through every choice we make. Jesus! Make us like You, create in our hearts fertile ground for Your Truth to grow maturity in our lives. No matter what we are going through, I pray we "grow through" it by Your Spirit, Truth and Life. So be it in this family Lord Jesus. Father God I pray that you touch each family member who is traveling this upcoming weekend, put Your hedge of protection around our vehicles and bring us all home safely! AMEN!

 

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

Pastor Elliott: I don't believe my learning will ever end even when I get to heaven. I am no thoroughbred Christian, you know that. My background is Jewish for the first 20 years, pagan for a few decades, and Christian for the past 14 years. Since that day I gave myself to Jesus, I have leaned on the authority of scripture that governs all that I do. I am uncomfortable with too much attention drawn to me. I have never felt worthy to do what I do in ministry. I feel closer to the biblical tax collector beating his chest, falling to his knees and crying out to God, "Father forgive me for I am a sinner", than I do to many of my fellow pastors.

Isaiah 48:11

"I will act for My own sake, indeed, My own, for how can I be defiled? I will not give My glory to another."

If there is any good in me, it is God doing the work, not me in my own power. I don't drop names to qualify my words. There is only one NAME I know that gives weight to my words- that is the NAME is above all names. Remember this Bob and Kim, God is not looking for perfect people to serve Him. He is looking for people who are willing to be made perfect in HIM for His service. Pastor Elliott

My Thoughts-Prayers About This:

Oh My! I needed to hear that... I have been beating myself up for giving into a "fleshly fit" this past weekend. God needed me to be at my best and I gave into a "pouty party" on Saturday night and I have not done that in so long, so it was disappointing. Unlike when God moved us to West Jefferson, a beautiful place where I really loved exploring... this new move to Georgia is not fun. I don't like it here. It is so hot! 102 on Friday! I miss my home, my mountain life style... and I miss the privacy I had of living life in my home without feeling I was in a "fishbowl"! The heat is very hard to take... and I am so out of my comfort zone here... but nothing matters at all when we stand up on Sunday at the base and teach soldiers about Jesus... I know we are here for a purpose and I know I could never be perfect enough because only God can be doing what is happening here, it has nothing to do with me. He brought us here by way of a huge trial and He connected us to Campus Military Ministry in a miraculous way. I am sad that I gave into my feelings, that my thoughts Saturday drove me to acting like a spoiled child, that I gave into the thoughts that said: Why do you always have to be the one God asks to do these crazy things??? Because on Sunday when God sends 550 soldiers to hear a message on Spiritual Warfare and 80 get saved and hundreds get blessed and equipped, I guess my silly imperfections just pale... in the face of our crazy awesome God Who can do what He wants, when He wants with Whomever He wants... AWE-GOD! I don't have to be perfect, He doesn't need me... He's God This! My heart see's everything He does and I stand in AWE and it makes me want to be perfect, I want to love Him by being a great big Glory Shine for Him. Even being a broken vessel at times is beautiful when God fills you, because I know I am a broken vessel of His Light that pierces the dark night of this world with a Kingdom SHINE....Have a great week, thanks again for your devotionals... they bless me

A Minute With Maxwell

Peace: All of us want peace in our life. Before you can ever find peace outwardly, you have to have it inwardly. Peace is an inside job. Highly successful people are bigger on the inside than they are the outside. Get your values right, start peace on the inside and it will grow to the outside. Bigger Splashes for a moment, don't last too long are bigger on the outside than on the inside.

Grace Works "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." 1 Corinthians 15:10 

 Anything good in your life is a result of God's grace. Your success is the result of the grace of God. Your money, your possessions, your spouse, your children, your job and your relationships are all a result of God's grace. You cannot take credit. Yes, you have been available and obedient, but only because of the grace of God. He is the originator and sustainer of all good things in your life. 

 If you ever hold on to anything with a tight fist or take credit for His "grace work," then you are in danger of losing His blessing. Acknowledge regularly who is responsible for the pleasant and productive things in your life. If you struggle with your lot in life, still be grateful for the grace of God that is at work in you. Your personality, your looks and the way you make a living are all a result of God's grace. Your health, your opportunities, your goals, your aspirations and your dreams are all grace driven. 

 His grace is there for your recognition, reward and results. Celebrate His grace. Embrace His grace. Revel in His grace. His grace is infinite in supply and available in "real time." Be careful not to take His grace for granted. Grace taken for granted may cease to be granted. Credit grace for its great affect in your life. 

 Without the grace of God, we maintain at best and are miserable at worst. Without the grace of God, we grope in the darkness of indecision and run out of steam. Without the grace of God, we are lost in our sins and servants of Satan. Without the grace of God, our heavenly rewards are meaningless and lacking. The grace of God is the glue that holds life together. It is the fuel that energizes your life. Without a doubt, grace is what God is about. It works. 

 The grace of God works hard. There is no conflict between grace and work. They go together. It is because of God's grace that you work hard. Your good works are a result of grace. Grace is not a result of your works, and grace without works is dead. This is why grace work has the most impact for God's Kingdom. Grace work transcends human effort. 

Your efforts are limited without the grace of God. The grace of God can accomplish twice as much through you in half the time. 

 This is the pattern of grace work. You work hard; you work smart; but you work motivated and inspired by God's grace. How do you know you are engaging in grace work and not just good work? The object of your affection is evidence of grace work. Grace work dies daily to self and lives for Christ. In celebration of its accomplishments, grace work points to God and others. Grace work is also grateful. There is a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude for those empowered by the grace of God. 

  And, lastly, grace work is quietly, humbly and relentlessly on point to carry out the will of God. There is no opposition or discouragement that derails grace work. Focus wins the day every time! Invite the grace of God into your work. Acknowledge God's grace in your work. Most importantly, depend on the grace of God in your work. Grace work works smart and hard. It is Kingdom motivated and Kingdom productive. You are who you are by the grace of God. You work hard and are refreshed by God's grace. Therefore, grace works!

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage!

At a time such as this, I Kimberly Ann McCarthy, in this very slice of time, I choose to lay down my life, my favor, my earthly position, my dreams, my desires, my wants and take up the cause of Your Kingdom.

Deuteronomy 4:29

But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life.

****My Prayer! I Place All My Expectation In You, Almighty God!*****

Psalm 62:5 (amplified) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Thursday, August 25th

Father be with D and be the strength and courage for this trial. Jesus.

Jesus be with Vivianne, be her strength today, be her courage and help her to know You are working in the unseen for her peace. Help her not to settle for the piece she has but to cling to You as the whole.

Father make a miraculous way for my husband by Your favor to finish this job on time. Work it out by Your power Jesus.

Jesus please take care of our home, protect it from all evil and Lord I pray You would get rid of the flea infestation, please help us Lord God. We are here and I trust You, it belongs to You. Jesus.

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

I am praying for you this morning that the peace of God will be all over you, may His love be your strength and the truth that you only see in part, He see's in whole be your comfort. May you get to know the God of heaven Whose love is so deep for you, Who is working things out in the unseen for your best. I pray you don't choose to cling to the part of life you see, but You cling to the Creator God, Who is not finished working things out in you and for you.  Let God Work, Give Him Time To Show You His Glory!  Trust Him - Love Him!  Have a great Thursday because He is....  because you have accepted Him you have a great future and hope.

Deuteronomy 4:29-31

But even there, if you seek God, your God, you'll be able to find him if you're serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul. When troubles come and all these awful things happen to you, in future days you will come back to God, your God, and listen obediently to what he says. God, your God, is above all a compassionate God. In the end he will not abandon you, he won't bring you to ruin, he won't forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them.

 a.w.tozer quotes from "the knowledge of the holy"

"Were all human beings sudden to become blind, still the sun would shine by day and the stars by night, for these owe nothing to the millions who benefit from their light. So were every man on earth to become atheist, it could not affect God in any way. He is what He is in Himself without regard to any other. To believe in Him adds nothing to His perfections; to doubt Him takes nothing away." A.W. Tozer

You Are God Alone!

"It is morally imperative that we purge from our minds all ignoble concepts of Deity and Le Him be the God in our minds that He is in His Universe."

"Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust not in the living God. A.W. Tozer

 

Excerpts-Thoughts From The Bridegroom's Voice

Thur Aug 25th My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 2

Excerpt From Book: The Bridegroom's Voice By Kimberlymac

I implore you My Bride to remember My faithfulness. My authentic love is certified by the many Promises I have made and kept. What I say, I do. What I speak is. This has been the strong reputation of My spoken word! My heart does not change with the tides of life! My Bride, will you change your course when life gets tough and the violent winds of your generation fiercely whirl doubts around your heart? Spend more time with Me! I will teach you how not to be intimidated by deceptive fears and negative thoughts.

  • Doubt! I pray it does not shipwreck my God destined course in this life. Lord I believe, help my unbelief.
  • Winds of doubt, they blow all the time, my enemy's voice stirs up the whirlwinds, yet my choice is clear… I STAND in belief.
  • Questioning God just stirs up the whirlwind in my mind and carries me off into places I am not destined to go.

Revelation 21:1-7

THEN I saw a new [a]sky (heaven) and a new earth, for the former [b]sky and the former earth had passed away (vanished), and there no longer existed any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband; 3 Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God. 4 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. 5 And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine). 6 And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life. 7 He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son.

Amplified Bible Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

My Thoughts About This Verse:

  • Oh the questions and Oh the tears that have accompanied them. Jesus You will wipe away my tears and my questions will remain no longer.
  • The beginning and the end, You are there Lord always and in between there is no place for questions only promise and hope.
  • My questions are not relevant in God's Kingdom, because all things are new. None of my questions will remain, therefore my priority should not be on them, but on the Kingdom of God.
  • Questioning God is not victorious living. I am a daughter of God, my questions are irrelevant in light of this truth.
  • In the light of the truth of God's Kingdom, my questioning God is just my unbelief making a fool out of me.

 

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

JESUS: THE SEED OF ABRAHAM

Genesis 12:3

I'll make you a great nation and bless you. I'll make you famous; you'll be a blessing. I'll bless those who bless you; those who curse you I'll curse. All the families of the Earth will be blessed through you."

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

My Thoughts About This Verse:

We are blessed and will continue to be blessed because of the faith of others. Our faith needs to carry on this great living legacy.

"Jesus was born the Messiah, the One who would take "away the sin of the world" and bring in a Kingdom of righteousness."

John 1:29

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world!

Amplified Bible Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

Luke 1:33

She was thoroughly shaken, wondering what was behind a greeting like that. But the angel assured her, "Mary, you have nothing to fear. God has a surprise for you: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son and call his name Jesus. He will be great, be called 'Son of the Highest.' The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David; He will rule Jacob's house forever— no end, ever, to his kingdom."

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

John 8:56

Jesus said, "If I turned the spotlight on myself, it wouldn't amount to anything. But my Father, the same One you say is your Father, put me here at this time and place of splendor. You haven't recognized him in this. But I have. If I, in false modesty, said I didn't know what was going on, I would be as much of a liar as you are. But I do know, and I am doing what he says. Abraham—your 'father'—with jubilant faith looked down the corridors of history and saw my day coming. He saw it and cheered."

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

"By faith Abraham knew that the Messiah would come from his seed. But Jesus didn't come to bring salvation just to the Jews; He came to bring salvation to all the world. He brought salvation to you."

My Thoughts About This Verse:

I am grateful to my forefathers for our faith and I am so grateful for my salvation. I pray to be a person Who has a high priority to being a living legacy of salvation, telling people, showing people and being the hands and feet of God.

"Because Abraham was a man of faith who believed the promises of God, he looked forward to birth of Jesus. But you too can be a person of faith. How? You must fist look back on the history of Abraham to believe that the Father's promises apply to you. Then you must look back to the work of Jesus on the cross and apply salvation to your life. Finally, by faith you must study the Scriptures anhjd apply all its promises to your life."

Galatians 3:13-18

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"[a]), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The Changeless Promise

15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed,"[b]who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ,[c] that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

Jesus Christ is my changeless promise my always hope and my only expectation. Because He is, He was and He will be! http://kimberlymac.blogspot.com

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.

Page 45 Of Come Away My Beloved By Frances J Roberts

"Behold, the time is short. Be not entangled in the things of the world, for they are transitiory. Be not over-concerned as to thy personal needs, for your Heavenly Father knoweth what ye have need of, and He will supply. But let thine uppermost concern be to carry out My will and purpose for thy life, to be sensitive to My guidance, and to keep thine ear open toward Heaven."

" 'Give and ye shall receive' is a spiritual law that holds true as mulch between thyself and God as between man and his fellowman. Even more so, for this is a higher plane of operation. Learn it on the highest plane, and it will become simple and automatic on the human level."

1 Kings 17:13-16

And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth.'"

15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

Do everything you do unto Me, The King of Kings and for My Kingdom and Your anointing will never run dry. I will fill You with the Manna from heaven as You give Your life to me, I will give it sustenance that is forever flowing with My wisdom, strength and peace. Follow after me, it is in Followship that You will find the destiny of Your call to Me.

"And even as I said to the woman at the well (knowing her need of true satisfaction) 'Give Me a drink', so I say to you, Give Me a portion of the love ye have – even though it be limited and natural, ahnd I will give You My love in return. Love that is Infinite. Love that is abounding. Love that will gush forth from thy life to refresh others."

"Give me a cupful of your limited affection. I long for it. I weep for it as I wept for the love of Jerusalem. I will pour out on you such a love as you have never known. Love that will flood your being with such satisfaction as ye never dreamed possible to experience except in heaven. Lo, I beg of thee, 'Give Me a drink'. Or in the language of Elijah, 'Bake me a little cake FIRST' and thou will never lack for meal and oil."
