Kingdom Purposes!

God's Wisdom For His Bride In Light Of These (Haiti Earthquake) Difficult Times….

"[The Children of Abraham] To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."- John 8:31-32

The Holy Spirit Exhorts:

Bride of Christ… stop all this human devouring and back biting… there is not time for it. AT this season of time, The kingdom of God-our Almighty God's Sovereign Will is in play on the face of this earth-- it doesn't look pretty right now, but the purpose of Father God in all this devastation will arise in beautiful Kingdom glory – a heavenly hindsight that is not rooted in this world.

I say in response to The Holy Spirit:

WE were not created for this world, yet we get so deeply rooted here because of our human nature to do so. In times of horrific tragedy, we must not give way to our human nature! God has made a Kingdom advance for Haiti. Do you think anything can happen outside of God's Yes? God allowed this natural disaster, He did not cause it or intend it or desire it, but He said Yes and if He has purposefully ordained, put this specific piece of His Sovereignty into play, then we have to know that there is a greater Kingdom purpose happening in the unseen. God does not ordain the suffering of anyone without a huge Kingdom purpose with an eternal gain. His Sovereign Will and His Infinite love go hand in hand and His Infinite love paves the way to a greater Kingdom purpose, a destiny not rooted in this world.

The Word Of God Speaks:

Acts 16:25-27 (New International Version)

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.

The Holy Spirit Exhorts:

You are in this world, you are not of it. Yet the enemy of your souls vies for you to stay focused on an earthly perspective. Your enemy called for this tragedy, he devised it and delivered its violent blow to Haiti, but not outside of God's Sovereign permission, God had to say yes and God ordained the severity of the just how far the enemy could go and God is in charge of the outcome. Father God Has Complete Sovereign Control –Focused In Kingdom Purpose! ie… an earthquake… ie… chains came loose!

I say:

Do I fully understand why God is going to these extremes? No… but I am not leaning on my understanding, I am leaning on God's track record, His truth and all that I know He is. He is Kingdom purposeful, not earthly minded. He is eternity focused and is willing to endure human pain for eternal gain. I don't understand that, but I do understand my salvation and it was purchased through such purposed earthly suffering. Therefore, I believe the enemy now knows God's true heart towards Haiti and it is not about this earthly suffering it is about eternity. God said yes, He counted the cost and the greater cost was the Kingdom purpose of turning the heart of a nation to Him, eternalizing the soul of this nation was His priority and He knew this Sovereign choice would be laid with human suffering, but He also knew His Infinite Love would be enough to lead this nation from suffering to Kingdom triumph. I don't question Him! Neither do I don't try to label what He is doing here with earthly titles in hope of human sense! I am fully facing this situation, fully facing my God. The enemy wants to divert our focus to the why of the devastation, God wants us to pick up His Infinite Love and apply it together as His Bride for Kingdom purpose for the devastation.

The Word Of God Speaks:

Job 15:-4

THEN ELIPHAZ the Temanite answered [Job], 2Should a wise man utter such windy knowledge [as we have just heard] and fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]? 3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? Or with speeches with which he can do no good? 4Indeed, you are doing away with [reverential] fear, and you are hindering and diminishing meditation and devotion before God. 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.

Amplified Bible

The Holy Spirit Exhorts Us:

Why has the national media picked up on a few words spoken by Pat Roberson, why do they want to publically crucify this mans reputation? Why-- because it diverts our attention from the supernatural sovereign Kingdom plan of our God, who has allowed this tragedy with great purpose. It is easier to refocus our pain, through anger towards a human being than face the reality that our loving God Sovereignly ordained the devastation that we see in full reality -- compliments of our media. Pat Robertson is not the issue. Almighty God and His Kingdom purpose is the main issue! Focus!

The Word Of God Speaks Wisdom:

Matthew 7:12-14

12 "In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets. The Large and Small Gates 13 "Enter God's kingdom through the narrow gate. The gate is large and the road is wide that lead to death and hell. Many people go that way. 14 But the gate is small and the road is narrow that lead to life. Only a few people find it.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

The Holy Spirit Instructs Us:

The narrow path follows after a God who said Yes to this horrific scene and trusts past what they see, believing in an unseen Kingdom purpose set in play, not for a win on this earthy but for a heavenly gain. The broad path says, focus on Pat Robertson, destroy the man that represents God, blow out of proportion a situation by a deeper anger you feel because you don't understand an irreconcilable paradox that a loving God could Sovereingly say yes to such devastation.

The Word Of God Speaks:

Jeremiah 4: 19-22

A Prayer for Healing Of Haiti

Lord, have you completely rejected Judah? Do you really hate Jerusalem?[a] Why have you wounded us past all hope of healing? We hoped for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror. 20 Lord, we confess our wickedness and that of our ancestors, too. We all have sinned against you. 21 For the sake of your reputation, Lord, do not abandon us. Do not disgrace your own glorious throne. Please remember us, and do not break your covenant with us. 22 Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain? Does it fall from the sky by itself? No, you are the one, O Lord our God! Only you can do such things. So we will wait for you to help us.

New Living Translation (NLT)

I exhort you in under the sound of God's Voice:

Pray For Haiti- Invest Your Time Here- Not Chasing False Enemies! Pat Robertson is not the enemy here, the enemy of our soul, his design is always destruction- killing-stealing-destroying our lives in whatever way he can. Pat Robertson is one of us, a citizen of a greater purpose. Did we see God's Wrath? Did we see God's Judgement? I don't know? Do you? All we can do is go by what we know. Jesus was sent to take the full wrath of God, the Judgement of God upon Himself so that we might live. So I don't need to answer that question here on this earth. But it is one I will lovingly ask God in heaven, but by then I probably won't need to ask, because I will have heavenly hindsight. Directing our anger towards a man, like Pat Roberson is the easy way out of not dealing with the real issue. Pat Roberson has done a lot of good for the Kingdom of God and should not be crucified in the national media! Do you notice that it is the way of the world to BE Lame- when Jesus already died for us to Be Whole! In this situation, I choose not to go after Pat Roberson; in fact, I don't put people up on pedstals-because human beings have natural character flaw that tend to tip the scales and unbalance they have the tendency to fall off of pedestals- they don't have the supernatural stability of the Trinity to stay high and lifted up. I follow after the Triune God, I fully face my God this day without any presuppositions of people, places or things. I place all my hopes and expectations in His Hands. Psalm 62.

The Word Of God Speaks

Psalm 93:3-5 (New Living Translation)

The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the Lord above is mightier than these! 5 Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O Lord, is holy forever and ever.

I Say:

I will not follow in a mediatic frenzy down this bunny trail about Pat Roberson, I will fully face my God and I will be a part of His Sovereign Will in play, I will give myself to Him completely to be a tool in His Hands as He works out His Kingdom Purpose of destruction to life.

The Holy Spirit Says:

How deeply rooted are you to this world? What perspective do you see out of worldly or kingdom? Because our God Who sent His Son to die, His only Son to die a horrific unkingly- untimely death for us has made a Sovereign decision to win a whole nation unto Himself. That makes what Pat Roberson said or meant to say for God or implied or the whole media frenzy about him, not my business! Can I really see a man's heart and his motives through words? I think not! Better left to God, it is His business and I need to mind my own calling because that is the one I will answer for.

The Living Word Says:

Matthew 11:12

Since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven has been advancing with force. And forceful people are taking hold of it.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

The Living Word Says: Matthew 11 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Christ's testimony to John the Baptist.

What Christ said concerning John, was not only for his praise, but for the people's profit. Those who attend on the word will be called to give an account of their improvements. Do we think when the sermon is done, the care is over? No, then the greatest of the care begins. John was a self-denying man, dead to all the pomps of the world and the pleasures of sense. It becomes people, in all their appearances, to be consistent with their character and their situation. John was a great and good man, yet not perfect; therefore he came short of glorified saints. The least in heaven knows more, loves more, and does more in praising God, and receives more from him, than the greatest in this world. But by the kingdom of heaven here, is rather to be understood the kingdom of grace, the gospel dispensation in its power and purity. What reason we have to be thankful that our lot is cast in the days of the kingdom of heaven, under such advantages of light and love! Multitudes were wrought upon by the ministry of John, and became his disciples. And those strove for a place in this kingdom, that one would think had no right nor title to it, and so seemed to be intruders. It shows us what fervency and zeal are required of all. Self must be denied; the bent, the frame and temper of the mind must be altered. Those who will have an interest in the great salvation, will have it upon any terms, and not think them hard, nor quit their hold without a blessing. The things of God are of great and common concern. God requires no more from us than the right use of the faculties he has given us. People are ignorant, because they will not learn. (Mt 11:16-24)

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

Jesus says:

My life is meant to be about the greater kingdom purpose in play here and that is for the souls of mankind to be won for God's Kingdom. Bride of Christ fully face this devastation, it is not by My Hand, but has been Ordained, saturated in My Kingdom purpose. I ask you now to say no to the bunny trails and yes to Me.

I say:

For this human being, it hurts so badly that my physical body wants to throw up every time I look upon the human suffering and devastation in Haiti, and I know God said yes, to this, yet I know His Spirit is weeping, kneeling in the midst of the debris and hearing- listening and responding to every cry… "Father--- Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Jesus is answering every cry out of this rubble saying:

My Sons And Daughters- I am with you- I allowed this suffering. See MY heart and you will see the path towards the Kingdom is wet with MY tears, as I have gone before you Haiti, suffered before you Haiti to pave this way for your salvation. I am in control of your destiny- Haiti.

Father God Says:

Bride Of Christ: What happened in Haiti. I ordained it – this temporary path of appalling human suffering will lead to an everlasting glory! Mourning will be turned to dancing. This unspeakable night season of grief and sorrow will be met by My Morning Glory. The SON WILL GLOW! I see the whole picture, you only see in part. So focus on Me- until My Kingdom comes in Glory and My heavenly hindsight brings forth Kingdom revelation that will satisfy you need to know. I designed you with a need to know, but never wanted it to trump belief in Me. Flip Flop Your Need To Know Into Hope In Me. Believe In Me! Believe In My Goodness! Believe In The Future I Have Prepared For You!

My Sovereign Will has trumped the evil designs of satan intended for Haiti, with a Kingdom Card- a card labeled Salvation- it stays on top of the life-deck dealt you- take it up and play it and You will know the Kingdom Victory that surpasses every and all evil intention - a victory that rolls past the surface devastation of this earth to the heavenly hindsight's of MY Kingdom purpose for you, Haiti. My Kingly Heart, Full of the Fatherhood desires of My Kingdom cries out for Your Salvation- it is MY true purpose and by whatever earthly means I have ordained- I Sovereignly stand in MY power and MY reality of truth, holding out to you Haiti, the mighty right hand of MY Infinite Love. I will restore what evil has intended, I will transform it to Kingdom purposes that will stand forever in the heart of your country, never to be taken away again.

From The Bridegroom To The Bride Of Christ:

Christians: follow after me. Listen For My Voice! I know you do not understand My designs- My ways. I don't ask you to understand, I ask you to surrender to MY Kingdom purposes. Follow after ME, be a tool in MY hand. What should you be shouting out of your pain? Kingdom purpose- Not earthly squabble! Let every word of your mouth be shaped by MY Kingdom purpose. It is not your place to judge- label or apply human understanding. Lean On Me! It is your place to bow, honor, trust and believe your King and be available to Me, in whatever way I call you to! You will be asked to sacrificially take up my Infinite Love in prayer, worship, and deed and with great Kingdom Purpose.

The Triune God Says:

Bride of Christ! Why are you chasing bunny trails? I have taught You to be better than this, you know better! Pat Robertson is MY child, as you are Mine, He is Mine. When you speak against him, you slap your own face-reputation. You are one of the same! Yet… He is not your concern! Do not judge what might very well be My Voice crying out in the wilderness; because you are not that good to know what you think you know… you know nothing of my Kingdom purpose beyond what you think you see; that is why you must trust Me in your all and everything, that is why I ordained it this way. I am doing a new thing… will you not know it. Isaiah 43!

Cling Harder to Me- Dig your roots deeper in My Kingdom for times such as these… you will not know what you think you know… as it was when Jesus came to earth… things are not as they seem, not comprehendible by a finite human mind. Trust Me! I have a plan and it is all eventually good!

If you chase bunny trails, you cannot fully face ME! Bride of Christ, do not be distracted, there is Kingdom work afoot here and I am determined to finish My Purposes that were started. Stop pointing fingers at each other, biting and devouring each other… face ME and point up.

Do you truly think you can fix this human tragedy? You can't. I AM said yes to this- I AM ordained this suffering with a powerful Kingdom purpose set into play. It is about ME, not you or not any other human being… this is not about Pat Robertson or any other human, it is about ME- My Kingdom purposes in play!

Don't you get it yet? This earth will pass away, but My Kingdom is forever! You were not designed to stay here- be deeply rooted in Me. Be eternally minded. Be Kingdom Focused! STAY ALERT TO WHAT TRULY MATTERS! Be all I have designed you to be Bride of Christ- be unified in Me! Just BE… found in Me! Being completely Mine; trusting me Wholly! I do have a good future and hope and it is not about earth, it is all about The Kingdom Of Heaven, My Kingdom and I AM your TRIUNE GOD – I AM working out MY salvation for all. FOCUS ON THIS SALVATION, IT DRAWS NIGH!

The Word Of God Says!

2 Samuel 22:2-4 (New International Version)

He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent men you save me. 4 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

I exhort You

Your enemy is not flesh and blood, satan wants to kill steal and destroy our lives- BUT God, His Kingdom purpose is SALVATION FOR ALL. Focus on God! Be found as His, working out His Kingdom Purpose in every and all situation as He calls! Will you be the one to answer to His Kingdom call? Or will you chase bunny trails that don't matter? Choose Life! Will You Be The One?

A Thanksgiving That Runs Deep

 

I have to admit, I love Thanksgiving Day because my favorite meal on this earth is Turkey Dinner! This morning the Lord asked me this: What am I most thankful for? When asked that question my first surface thoughts of course, go to my husband, my children and my grandchildren. Selah!

 

As I go deeper beyond the surface thoughts, I realize that I am deeply, deeply grateful for the Cross of Calvary. You may think that is an odd thing to be thankful for! I am a very image driven person. Images refresh my memory constantly of things my heart, spirit and soul need to be reminded of. I have a picture hanging in my house of a Christ Fellowship Life Group that greatly encouraged my life. This picture reminds me to pray for them, to encourage them and it refreshes my memories of the value of relationship! So images really affect me in my walk with God! So yes, today I am thankful for the cross, an image that deeply encourages my soul in the memory of all it stands for in my life!

 

The Cross is an evidence of a timeless reality, a focal point of the "heavenly hindsight"

of God's Mercy that always brings hope and thanksgiving into my every day.

Thanksgiving That Runs Deep!

A Cross in any shape size or form will always represent for me my salvation, the changing of my destiny from death to life! The cross depicts the very reason I have a relationship with the Father God today and I am deeply thankful for my personal relationship with the One True Living God! Oh what a blessing my relationship with my Father God is to me! The cross reminds me of the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ so that I might have the freedom of a relationship with God The Father! The Cross paints a picture of me, a life destiny changed, a paid forward life with an extended future further than this moment, this day, this year, this generation or this world! I am living onward in Christ Jesus… into forever. From Life To Life! Yes, this is why this Thanksgiving week, I am completely grateful, thankful and humbled at the foot of the cross and I know you are right there with me! Thank You Jesus, Thank You For The Cross!

JESUS= Completed Resurrection Offering Succeeding, Salvation=

Every time I see a cross, I am reminded of God's Mercy of yester year that bought for me the peace, stability and hope that is in my today as I walk in the Presence of God Almighty! I am thankful today that the Cross symbolizes a change from the path of life that was leading me to death! This Thanksgiving, I stand in the shadow of The Cross that stands positioned, anchored in the Grace of God as a life-marker at the intersection of my salvation! The Cross stands forever imprinted as an image on my soul, as Jesus sealed my spirit in His Forever Life February 14th, 1974! My heavenly hindsight began that day and casts my gaze upon this cross as each day dawns to remind me of the choice I need to make! I choose a legacy of life, being a dedicated servant completely surrendered to Jesus Christ, His Way, His Truth and His Will. It was His Holy Spirit, Who met me at the crossroad of death and life, giving me a fresh new way for my feet to walk, a new message of good news for my life to talk up and replicate! Jesus set a new course of hope for me that auto-pilots me into a good future from life to life! As I carry His cross as an image that has been forever burned into my pliable heart, I am deeply thankful!

 

 

Thanksgiving That Runs Deep!

How thankful I am for the Cross of Jesus Christ! God has taught me to see His Cross in all things in my life. One day, I walked into our church renovation project only to find a scene of vandalism, where windows had been broken out and there was debris everywhere from the violent attack on our facilities and God showed me the image of His Cross in the middle of all the havoc! He does that for me in every situation I face In life, I can see His Cross, I can see His Sovereign Will and Infinite Love, I can see His mercy and I can see His Unconditional devotion! I am so deeply thankful today, that the Cross and the timeless hope that it represents is in our all; its message of mercy and new beginnings is weaved throughout our everything! I am so grateful it changed my destiny from the dictates of sin and uprooted me from the love of this world! The Cross has translated me into The Kingdom of God and filled me with all the passions, intents and love of the Lord of this Kingdom of Heaven! I am of this world, but not one of its citizens, therefore I am God's Ambassador in my life here! Jesus has written my Name in the census book of heaven, therefore I cling to the Cross of Calvary, to Jesus and I dig my roots deeper into His Kingdom with each passing moment on this earth! I know Whose I am, I know Whose purposes I represent and I know my future is awesome! My Thanksgiving Runs Deep!

 

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE CROSS!

MY TRUE LIFE BEGAN AT THE CROSS OF CALVARY.

THANK YOU JESUS! Thank You That Your Mercy Said No,

To My Eternal Demise And Gave Me A Future And A Hope!

Sin Demanded Justice For My Soul, But Mercy Said No!

Make My Life A Constant Conversation With You!

Week Of Sunday, September 20th I hope huge to glow His Glory as I stand in AWE of Him!

 

**********MONDAY………MONDAY………MONDAY*********

 

Monday, Monday September 21st, I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy am destined to live in the glory of Your strength and not worry or fear anything, because all things belong to You. I will turn to You in prayer in all the circumstances and situations of my day.

2 Samuel 22:21-25

God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I cleaned up my act, he gave me a fresh start. Indeed, I've kept alert to God's ways; I haven't taken God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

Precious Family, this is my prayer for us today! I hope huge for each of us, Bob-Kim-Brad-Bonnie-Ky-Ry-Chris-Summer-Kenneth-Tina that today we will place all the pieces of our lives before The Living God and not try to put together that which only He cans see, but trust Him completely as He is working in the unseen to complete what He has started in us. I pray that the Holy Spirit will keep us alert to His Ways, directing our path this week to the Way Of Truth and that we will not be tricked into exchanging any lies for our enemies deceit. Guard the hearts of this family Lord Jesus from the youngest to the oldest in Your Truth. I pray that we will sit with God this week and let Him cleanse the thoughts of the world from our mind, and develop in our hearts and AWE-GOD! Help us Father God to make every divine appointment you have for us this week, may we daily watch our steps and look for Your Light that will lead us to the imprint You have left for us to step into. Open the book of our hearts to Your Eyes Lord Jesus and re-write the text therein to match up with the plan and purpose You have for each of us. I love this family Lord Jesus, bless us Huge this week in Your Presence-Power-Peace and Protection. AMEN!

September 21, 2009

VERSE:

[Jesus said] "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the

one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I

too will love him and show myself to him."

-- John 14:21

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=John+14:21

THOUGHT:

Love is much more than a feeling or an attitude: love is an

action. When we love, we show it by our deeds. As disciples of

Jesus, our love is shown by our obedience to the things Jesus

taught. Of course, that obedience brings an incredible blessing --

Jesus reveals himself to those who obey him!

PRAYER:

Dear LORD, my Abba Father, please forgive me for my sins.

Empower me to resist the Evil One. Help me find delight in obeying

the teaching of my Lord and Savior, Jesus, in whose blessed name I

ask this. Amen.

The Groomsman's Journal /Bridegroom's Voice/Week:11 Dead Traditions

The Bridegroom speaks about Dead Traditions!

From The Bride:

Excerpt From The Bridegroom's Voice

Jesus, Tradition is stifling me and it is quenching new life in the Body of Christ! What will happen if traditions keep taking precedence over Your Presence? Will we continue to grow, change or even exist as a unified church?

My Bride,

I hear your discontentment and see the anxiety in your soul. The Spirit of God is buried, abandoned beneath dead traditions in many churches, in times such as these. Instead of focusing on My divinity, many in the Body of Christ are allowing traditions to limit My Presence. The demands of a few men are manipulating, dominating and directing the vision of many churches. Church, there is value in the living out of tradition in the Body of Christ, but there must be a greater significance and priority for the Sovereign authority and power of My Spirit to reside in My Church. The vision of My Church must be for the purpose of a renewed inner life, born out of a spontaneous 24/7 relationship in My Presence. The divine character and supernatural existence of The Body of Christ must be transformed-renewed daily, by My Spirit! It is my heart's desire for My Church to grow and to be a personal organism, not a programmatic organization. The very heart-nature of My Gospel is likened to an organism and mirrors the growth and change that comes from being nurtured by its Creator. I AM Lord, The Redeemer of the Body of Christ and My Spirit will rule in the hearts of My chosen! Seek Me and give My Spirit the freedom to be a vital part of the heart-life of your Church. I desire and will be Sovereign in presence and power in the midst of you.

The Groomsman's Journal : Reflecting, Meditating and Responding

I must decrease…He must increase….    

My Thoughts:

DAY ONE – TWO

Colossians 2:6-8

Freedom From Human Rules

You received Christ Jesus as Lord. So keep on living in him. 7 Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before. 8 Make sure no one captures you. They will try to capture you by using false reasoning that has no meaning. Their ideas depend on human teachings. They also depend on the basic things the people of this world believe. They don't depend on Christ.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • The key words that pop out at me from this scripture, and probably by Your Spirit, are: In Him! There is nothing false in Him, stale in Him and in Him all things are continuously new, challenging me to grow, to change to be better in my all and everything!

Jeremiah 2:5-8

The Lord says, "What did your people find wrong with me? Why did they wander so far away from me? They worshiped worthless statues of gods. Then they themselves became worthless. 6 They did not ask, 'Where is the Lord? He brought us up out of Egypt. He led us through a dry and empty land. He guided us through deserts and deep valleys. It was a land of darkness where there wasn't any rain. No one lived or traveled there.' 7 But I brought you into a land that has rich soil. I gave you its fruit and its finest food. In spite of that, you polluted my land. You turned it into something I hate. 8 The priests did not ask, 'Where is the Lord?' Those who taught my law did not know me. The leaders refused to obey me. The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal. They worshiped worthless statues of gods.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • I realize I must guard my heart with God's Word so my thoughts do not wander far from Him, because in Him is my purpose, my true life.
  • When I am in God's Presence, when I am remembering Him in AWE, then I will not fall trap to my enemies devices and get led astray by just doing religion instead of being found in My God- living and growing!
  • Praise! I must daily praise Him and develop my AWE of God through the Heavenly Hindsight of all He has done for me. He is faithful and I must pursue Him, wholeheartedly.

John 4:13-15

Jesus answered, "All who drink this water will be thirsty again. 14 But anyone who drinks the water I give him will never be thirsty. In fact, the water I give him will become a spring of water in him. It will flow up into eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty. And I won't have to keep coming here to get water."

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • It is not my religion that makes people thirsty, it is the life of God in me, the Living Water of God.
  • Lord, I pray that I will always drink from the stream of Your Living Waters, keeping a personal relationship with you. Keeping it real, not religious. Heart to Heart in constant conversation with You. Help me not to be so fond of my traditions, that I forget my true Creator, and stop drinking of Your Living Water.
  • I want my life in pursuit of You, Lord Jesus to make others thirsty for Living Water!

DAY THREE – FOUR

Matthew 15:7-13

"You pretenders! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you. He said, 8 " 'These people honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me. 9 Their worship doesn't mean anything to me. They teach nothing but human rules.' " —(Isaiah 29:13) 10 Jesus called the crowd to him. He said, "Listen and understand. 11 What goes into your mouth does not make you 'unclean.' It's what comes out of your mouth that makes you 'unclean.' " 12 Then the disciples came to him. They asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were angry when they heard this?" 13 Jesus replied, "There are plants that my Father in heaven has not planted. They will be pulled up by the roots.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

OUCH! Sometimes I am a plant that needs to be pulled up by the roots. I am entirely too rooted to this world, its ways of comfort and the broad and easy path.

Religiosity is totally defined in this passage of scripture and it is the gap between saying and being.

Lord, I hope that my calendar and my stuff that I "have to do" is never 1st over my heart relationship with You and what You have called me to "be" in Your Kingdom.

My heart, purify it Lord and plant in it the seeds of the Kingdom of God that will grow with the purity of essence of Your Life. I hope it so Lord Jesus.

There is one Shepherd, it is Jesus, one flock, it is His Bride-His Church. Help us to enter in through His Gate and be in relationship with Him.

John 10: 1-16

John 10: 1-16

The Shepherd and the Flock

"What I'm about to tell you is true. What if someone does not enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in another way? That person is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him. The sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought all of his own sheep out, he goes on ahead of them. His sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger. In fact, they will run away from him. They don't recognize a stranger's voice."

6 Jesus used this story. But the Jews who were there didn't understand what he was telling them. 7 So Jesus said again, "What I'm about to tell you is true. I am like a gate for the sheep. 8 All those who ever came before me were thieves and robbers. But the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I'm like a gate. Anyone who enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out. And he will find plenty of food. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way. 11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. 12 The hired man is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when the hired man sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired man. He does not care about the sheep. 14 "I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. 15 They know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I give my life for the sheep. 16 "I have other sheep that do not belong to this sheep pen. I must bring them in too. They also will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • If I know You better and most Lord Jesus, I will follow you and I won't follow the voice of my enemy to unknown pits of despair.
  • Not only did you give me life, Lord Jesus, You gave it to me in the fullest way possible. I can have a personal relationship with You, I can connect with You moment to moment and be in Your Presence in my all and everything. This is not religion, it is relationship and this is what I desire.
  • You are the gate to true life, to real communion with my Father God. Help me not to lock this gate through my own personal plans, my own daily devotional agenda that keeps out the life of Your Spirit. Be the Lord of my details, that I might submit my whole life to You and not compartmentalize where your Presence is "allowed" by me.

John 15:1-9

The Vine and the Branches

"I am the true vine. My Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit. 3 "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain joined to me, and I will remain joined to you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain joined to the vine. In the same way, you can't bear fruit unless you remain joined to me. 5 "I am the vine. You are the branches. If anyone remains joined to me, and I to him, he will bear a lot of fruit. You can't do anything without me. 6 If anyone does not remain joined to me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and dries up. Branches like those are picked up. They are thrown into the fire and burned. 7 "If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be given to you. 8 When you bear a lot of fruit, it brings glory to my Father. It shows that you are my disciples. 9 "Just as the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Now remain in my love.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

Remain is the key for me. Not letting my traditions, my agenda, my schedule rule my day, but remain in constant conversation with God, so I might hear His voice, receive His nourishment and make the divine appointments He has for me.

Attached to the Vine, is where I want to remain. It is my huge hope to live my life constantly and consistently in relationship with God, being His.

It is easy to follow a mapped out plan, but on the narrow path in relationship with Jesus, the risk of adventure is great. Take A Risk- Be Divinely His!

God's Sovereign Will for us today is not/ nor never short on His Infinite Love- It abounds in it!

DAY FIVE-SIX

Revelation 22: 8-17

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. After I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel. He is the one who had been showing me these things. 9 But he said to me, "Don't do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God's servant, just like the other prophets and all who obey the words of this book. Worship God!" 10 Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy in this book. These things are about to happen. 11 Let those who do wrong keep on doing wrong. Let those who are evil continue to be evil. Let those who do what is right keep on doing what is right. And let those who are holy continue to be holy." 12 "Look! I am coming soon! I bring my rewards with me. I will reward each person for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the First and the Last. I am the Beginning and the End. 14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will have the right to come to the tree of life. They will be allowed to go through the gates into the city. 15 "Outside the city are the dogs and those who practice witchcraft. Outside are also those who commit sexual sins and murder. Those who worship statues of gods, and everyone who loves and does what is false, are outside too. 16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this witness for the churches. I am the Root and the Son of David. I am the bright Morning Star." 17 The Holy Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Let those who hear say, "Come!" Anyone who is thirsty should come. Anyone who wants to take the free gift of the water of life should do so.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • The Water Of Life! Hmmmm! I wonder if my life makes others thirsty for this water.
  • What do I worship? What are the things in my life that are "statues of gods"?
  • Lord Jesus, you are the first and last of my life and you surround me on all sides as I walk in Your Light, Morning Star. Please forgive me for my discontentment, I fear this is my "statue of gods"!
  • You did not ask for preferred service. You were treated the same as everyone else. You never let "your rights" interfere with Kingdom purpose. Make me like You Jesus.

Romans 12:1-2

Living for God

Brothers and sisters, God has shown you his mercy. So I am asking you to offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive. Your bodies are a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. When you offer your bodies to God, you are worshiping him. 2 Don't live any longer the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • Lord, I desire for my thinking to be 100 percent polar opposite from the world and totally inspired by The Kingdom of God.
  • Change my thinking Lord, because it is in my thoughts where I get so tripped up at times by what I want, by my way. Open my mind up to the thoughts of Your Ways, change my thinking to pattern after Your Will.
  • Offering all of myself also means letting go of my discontentment, my frustrations and my will. Traditions do have a source of comfort, everything remains the same and there is no risk. But, You Lord God are always doing something new. Will I know it? Or will my traditions, what I am "used" to and the way I am "used" to doing things keep me from growing and experiencing the God Adventures You have planned for me. Open me up to Your Kingdom purposes. AWE-GOD!

2 Samuel 22:21-25

"The Lord has been good to me because I do what is right. He has rewarded me because I lead a pure life. 22 I have lived the way the Lord wanted me to. I haven't done evil by turning away from my God. 23 I keep all of his laws in mind. I haven't turned away from his commands. 24 He knows that I am without blame. He knows I've kept myself from sinning. 25 The Lord has rewarded me for doing what is right. He has rewarded me because I haven't done anything wrong.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • Lord, I want you to know that I am without blame, I want You to see me that way. Help me to pursue everything about You and less about me.
  • I know to lead a pure life, it has to be all about You, not my religious duty, but maintaining a personal relationship with You that is directed by Your Will, not mine, Your Way, not mine and Your Spirit, Purpose and Passion. This is what I hope huge for today!
  • I want to step out of what I traditionally, comfortably and contentedly do and be willing to know You more, turning away from my doubt, fear and unbelief and turning to fully face You, My Almighty God! So Be It!

DAY SEVEN

Mark 7:1-9

What Makes People "Unclean"?

The Pharisees gathered around Jesus. So did some of the teachers of the law. All of them had come from Jerusalem. 2 They saw some of his disciples eating food with "unclean" hands. That means they were not washed. 3 The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands to make them pure. That's what the elders teach. 4 When they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they wash. And they follow many other teachings. For example, they wash cups, pitchers, and kettles in a special way. 5 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the law questioned Jesus. "Why don't your disciples live by what the elders teach?" they asked. "Why do they eat their food with 'unclean' hands?" 6 He replied, "Isaiah was right. He prophesied about you people who pretend to be good. He said, " 'These people honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me. 7 Their worship doesn't mean anything to me. They teach nothing but human rules.' —(Isaiah 29:13) 8 You have let go of God's commands. And you are holding on to the teachings that men have made up." 9 Jesus then said to them, "You have a fine way of setting aside God's commands! You do this so you can follow your own teachings.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • This is a passage of scripture where I truly hear your heart about dead traditions. It makes me so sad, because I have been there in that place where my worship was not from my heart, where my actions were purely duty and now, I hope never to go back there, to always live for You heart to heart and spirit to spirit! So Be It Jesus!
  • I don't want to live by human rules, I want to live by Kingdom Principle that is alive in me and through me because of the passion stirred up by my knowing You Jesus!

Revelation 7: 13-17

Then one of the elders spoke to me. "Who are these people dressed in white robes?" he asked. "Where did they come from?" 14 I answered, "Sir, you know." He said, "They are the ones who have come out of the time of terrible suffering. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 So "they are in front of the throne of God. They serve him day and night in his temple. The One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. 16 Never again will they be hungry. Never again will they be thirsty. The sun will not beat down on them. The heat of the desert will not harm them. 17 The Lamb, who is at the center of the area around the throne, will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • Sir, they know you! AWE-GOD! I hope huge that one day it will be me that they speak of, that I might truly know You, not know of you in all my religiousity ways, but truly know You, The Lamb Of God!
  • I hope huge to develop my AWE of You Lord and in this to daily be led to Your Presence to partake in the springs of LIVING WATER! Jesus!
    Proverbs 4: 29-24

My son, pay attention to what I say. Listen closely to my words. 21 Don't let them out of your sight. Keep them in your heart. 22 They are life to those who find them. They are health to your whole body. 23 Above everything else, guard your heart. It is where your life comes from. 24 Don't speak with twisted words. Keep evil talk away from your lips.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

My Thoughts: I must decrease…God must increase!

  • If I want to pursue You, pursue what is real and now, then I must keep my attention on You and not what is in the past. You are now. Your life infused in me is now. Your way to travel is now. I pray that I will always stay current, up to date with You, Lord Jesus.
  • Guard my heart! If I have learned anything valuable, this is it. Your Word, Your Presence, Your Precepts guard my heart from everything that will distract me from Your divinity, and my destiny in You for this day!

Worry Is: Taking back from God what is His to work out. Taking control instead of letting be, being still - knowing His Provision

VERSE:

What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous

desire will be granted.

-- Proverbs 10:24

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+10:24

THOUGHT:

The wicked fear the triumph of goodness, holiness, and

righteousness. They fear not being in control. They fear death's

overtaking them. The righteous desire the triumph of goodness,

holiness, and righteousness. They offer their lives to be

controlled by the Holy Spirit of God. They recognize death is an

enemy, but one that has been conquered by their Savior. In times

like these, isn't it comforting to know that the things that the

wicked fear are really things that they can be sure of receiving!

PRAYER:

O LORD God, please bring your justice, mercy, and righteousness

to triumph in the lives of all who seek after you and your will.

Please make my heart more like yours in regard to evil and those

who perpetuate it, and stir in me a deeper passion to lead those to

Christ who do not know you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

You spoke this to me at the TOS class on Tuesday about Worry, how worry was taking things into my hands and trying to control them, instead of letting be, being still and knowing the Provision of My God.

The Author Table: Freedom

Freedom! It is so sweet to live with liberty and justice for all! Freedom is a fragile thing and must be protected, defended and preserved. http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/author.htm

The Breakfast Table: Tighten Your Belt

When I am challenged, I can be impulsively bent with the intent of defending my honor, reputation and rights! Yet, when my belt of truth is tightened around my soul, I am more likely to inspire than incite, more likely to turn the other cheek instead of slapping back with biting, devouring words. Therefore, every day is a good day to put on your belt of truth! Tighten Your Belt Of Truth Today!

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/gmgm.htm

The Family Table: Way Of Truth

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/fmpryr.htm

AWE-GOD! I long for the way of truth for my family! There are so many choices in this world and I feel bombarded by hem at times. Should I go this way-that way-which way? American Families Are "Choiced Out"! You can prove this statement by simply going into the grocery store and trying to pick a cereal out of the 100 or so choices! For my family this day, My heart longs for the simplicity of Your Truth, Lord Jesus! I am hoping huge for Your Way of Truth to be what our families know, what we see, what we respond to and who we are as a family!

The Family Table: Way Of Truth Side Dish: Water It

I love Your Kingdom Way Of Truth, where You teach us from Your Kingdom textbook in our earthly classroom.

The Listener Table: Dead Traditions

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/listen.htm

"The vision of My Church must be for the purpose of a renewed inner life, born out of a spontaneous 24/7 relationship in My Presence. The divine character and supernatural existence of The Body of Christ must be transformed-renewed daily, by My Spirit! It is my heart's desire for My Church to grow and to be a personal organism, not a programmatic organization. "

The Listener Table: Dead Traditions: Side Dish: Think On It

Lord, I hope that my calendar and my stuff that I "have to do" is never 1st over my heart relationship with You

The Servant Table: Godly Virtue

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/servant.htm

Seasoned Servants, it is Jesus' Virtue, His Name we wear and His reputation we reflect! Spiritual warfare is the unity of our lives with Him: His purposes, His intents, His plans weaved into our lives through worship, Godly virtue and service unto Him.

The Military Table: Never Deserted

http://www.thebridegroomscafe.com/military.htm

HE WAS ALWAYS WITH US!

ALWAYS! The Best Thing About Deployments Is Our Common Denominator!

Jesus Christ! Deployments Are A Huge Emotional Challenge For Families. Our God Is Up To That Challenge! Seek Him! Find Him! Pursue Him!

The Smorgasbord Table

Life Or Death?

Which do we choose this day in America? Shaping the will or breaking the spirit? Truth and love or assumption and arrogance? Civility or inciting? Life to the spirit and unity of our Country or death to the spirit of freedom we have loved and enjoyed for so long? Which one will it be, because one choice affects the whole!

Hope Huge Your Visit To The Bridegroom's Café Is Always Life Changing!
