For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.

Thomas a Kempis

My Thoughts About This:

Father God this quote really touched me deeply today. I pray You would change us Jesus, change our hearts to full out for You. May we walk with You today, fully face our AWE-GOD. Jesus cause us to walk in 100% Kingdom truth in us and through us. What is missing in the church today is a respect-reverence for the Presence of #AWE-GOD! We have become high on pride and we do not bow low! WE rationalize the Presence of God, we don't accept the AWE and Mystery of our Mighty God. God is not a bigger version of us, He is huge and mighty in power and majesty in ways we can't even begin to imagine! AWE-GOD! Do you understand the very #AWE-GOD we push out of our country is the ONE WHO is upholding our freedom. Be careful!

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.

1 Timothy 3:2

Now a bishop (superintendent, overseer) must give no grounds for accusation but must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, circumspect and temperate and self-controlled; [he must be] sensible and well behaved and dignified and lead an orderly (disciplined) life; [he must be] hospitable [showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners, and be] a capable and qualified teacher,

My Thoughts About This:

Hospitality – Having Hospitable Spirit's is the missing link in our followship as servant-warriors of Jesus Christ, without it isolation rises from home to home, community to community and nation to nation. A servant-leader cannot be so without a hospitable spirit that continuously works out in hospitality.

Philemon 1

1-3I, Paul, am a prisoner for the sake of Christ, here with my brother Timothy. I write this letter to you, Philemon, my good friend and companion in this work—also to our sister Apphia, to Archippus, a real trooper, and to the church that meets in your house. God's best to you! Christ's blessings on you!

4-7Every time your name comes up in my prayers, I say, "Oh, thank you, God!" I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers. And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. Friend, you have no idea how good your love makes me feel, doubly so when I see your hospitality to fellow believers.

My Thoughts About This:

The spirit of Hospitality is a common courtesy in relationships. Hospitality within us, creates an openness of communication that speaks value into the lives around us, connecting us heart to heart. Hospitality is the common feed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without the civility that a hospitable heart brings, the gospel cannot travel from heart to heart. Hospitality has become counter cultural in our generation, we have become isolated from one another.

2 Corinthians 7:12-14

11-13And now, isn't it wonderful all the ways in which this distress has goaded you closer to God? You're more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible. Looked at from any angle, you've come out of this with purity of heart. And that is what I was hoping for in the first place when I wrote the letter. My primary concern was not for the one who did the wrong or even the one wronged, but for you—that you would realize and act upon the deep, deep ties between us before God. That's what happened—and we felt just great.

13-16And then, when we saw how Titus felt—his exuberance over your response—our joy doubled. It was wonderful to see how revived and refreshed he was by everything you did. If I went out on a limb in telling Titus how great I thought you were, you didn't cut off that limb. As it turned out, I hadn't exaggerated one bit. Titus saw for himself that everything I had said about you was true. He can't quit talking about it, going over again and again the story of your prompt obedience, and the dignity and sensitivity of your hospitality. He was quite overwhelmed by it all! And I couldn't be more pleased—I'm so confident and proud of you.

My Thoughts About This:

Instead of being make welcome in our homes, families and communities, we are making people feel invisible, valueless. We don't take the time anymore to communicate hospitality, to be hospitable, courteous and civil in our day to day relationships. The enemy has weighed us down in cultural excess and is sitting on our hospitable spirits, so we are underneath his conditions, judgements, and disposition and normal civility and courtesty in our relationships is cut off. In our families, churches and communities we walk about with our nose in the air, with snobbish hearts that isolate others, making them feel invisible.

My Thoughts About This:

Selflessness is the atmosphere where hospitality thrives and grows. Our culture is dominated by self-indulgent excesses and in this atmosphere hospitality has been held down and the spirit of common courtesy and civility towards one another has been shut out of relationships.

Hebrews 13:1-3

1LET LOVE for your fellow believers continue and be a fixed practice with you [never let it fail]. 2Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood--being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it

My Thoughts About This:

Hospitality must be a fixed practice! This is how strong the Lord felt about it! Hospitality in our generation is failing. God said to never let it fail! The result is that we are invisible to one another. Do you feel invisible? Sometimes I just feel invisible! I know that is satan's plan to use the standards, titles, and busyness of our culture to isolate us from one another and satan is raising up conditions in the place of unconditional love and God's wisdom. Do you ever feel invisible? People just don't care for one another anymore unless they need you for something. Our culture has developed a self centered – self indulgence for excess and the by-product of that is isolation. The common hospitality, the every day courtesy and civility towards one another is trumped by the busy American life. Then there is the cultural titles that put up barriers of conditions that make you feel like you are not even good enough to get an eye to eye contact, because you are not properly culturally titled.

Romans 12:10-21

Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another. 11 Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord. 12 Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of God's people [sharing in the necessities of the saints]; pursue the practice of hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others' joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others' grief]. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits.(A) 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. 20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. 21Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.

My Thoughts About This:

Snobbery is a practiced characteristic in our culture, even in our churches it is prevalent. It really makes me sad as I in my own life grow through this isolation from one day to another. It is in our families, our homes, our churches, our communities and it is cutting off the air to the fellowship of hospitality. I can text, email, facebook, call, write and even invite people into a communicative relationship and it is like I am invisible. Tell me why do people not even have time to politely answer a text message with a short acknowledgement? Why do people make other people feel invisible? Why don't we take the time in families, churches, communities to even acknowledge one another? It only takes a minute to say Hi, to text back a reply, to answer something on your facebook, to return a phone call, to RSVP to an invitation, to acknowledge the existence of relationship with a short communication. What has happened to us? We have fallen into a cultural trap of holding on to and holding up all of our excess and therefore, isolation is the result. We have placed conditions on our communications with others, judging them by our standards and withholding communication because of prejudiced opinions. Do you feel invisible?

My Thoughts About This:

Are you treating others as if they are invisible? It is time to check our hearts, to be the people God has created us to be. God created us to be relational. It is time to get back to the basics of life. It is time to stop judging one another by conditions and open our hearts back up to all of God's people, being willing to communicate His love. It is time to stop being so busy that we can't even say hello to a relative, we can't take 5 minutes to communicate value to someone else. Jesus acknowledge everyone, He made people feel like they had value and worth, that their lives mattered. He communicated it! Lord I pray You would break down the walls of isolation in our homes, families, churches and communities and bring us back to putting a priority on people rather than things. Make our time count each day, help us to encourage others, to help them know that they matter, they are valuable. Open the heart of communication in our lives once again.

1 Peter 4:8-10

Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and [a]disregards the offenses of others].(A) 9Practice hospitality to one another (those of the household of faith). [Be hospitable, be a lover of strangers, with brotherly affection for the unknown guests, the foreigners, the poor, and all others who come your way who are of Christ's body.] And [in each instance] do it ungrudgingly (cordially and graciously, without complaining but as representing Him). 10As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as [befits] good trustees of God's many-sided grace [faithful stewards of the [b]extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to Christians by unmerited favor].

Notes From book "power thoughts" by joyce meyer

Joyce Meyer: Notes From Book Power Thoughts

Whatever challenges you the most, decide now that you are going to set your mind for total victory
Joyce Meyer
Talking to yourself ahead of time is one of the ways to set your mind.
I am not going to overeat when I sit down for meals today. I will stop when I begin to feel full. I will make good food choices and I will not eat emotionally.
I am going to think positive thoughts and speak positive words.
I am going to live to please God, not people. I want to be accepted but I will not compromise my faith and moral integrity. Joyce Meyer
I am not going to be excessive in any area of my life.
The message you have recorded inside yourself will begin to play back to you, and making the right decision will not be nearly as difficult as it would have been had you not yet made up your mind about what you would do when that situation presented itself

My Thoughts About This:

I like to say "settle it" I like to have things settled before the situation arises, I like to have them settled in my mind and in my heart.

Recognizing your weak areas and knowing what kinds of situations are challenging to you in life is wise. Joyce Meyer

Constant Conversation W/GOD June 20-21

Monday, June 20^th 2011

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

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

I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy will diligently pursue You, Father God, this day as my constant connection, conversation and courage. #prayer @worldprayr

Many of your friendships grew from your need for affection, affirmation, and emotional support. But now you must seek friends to whom you can relate from your center, from the place where you know that you are deeply loved. Friendship becomes more and more possible when you accept yourself as deeply loved. Then you can be with others in a non-possessive way. Real friends find their inner correspondence where both know the love of God. There spirit speaks to spirit and heart to heart.
Henri J. M. Nouwen

Gleaming From Daniel 5- Learning:Growing!

Notes From Listening TO 5^th CD Of Beth Moore's Daniel Teaching

Is this getting to our thinking, becoming aware of the kind of Babylon around us. Some of it is suble and some of it pulls hard.

30 years fall between Daniel 4 end and beginning of Daniel 5

23 Years Neb has passed away and four different people have been on the throne. There have been murder and all kinds of things you can imagine.

King on the throne is Belshazzar l and he is Neb grandson, he is referred to the Son, very common for son in lintate to be called patriatcharl name of son. The Medo Persians are gathering closer to the city of Babylon, Cyrus the great and the armies are not very far from the city and the people are aware they are coming. They have an inflated sense of security because they have 20 years of food and plenty of water with the ephrates river running through it. The scriptures open with Belshazzar l throwing a party, to give a sense of a boost of morale to the people….

1 King Belshazzar held a great feast for his one thousand nobles. The wine flowed freely.2 Belshazzar, heady with the wine, ordered that the gold and silver chalices his father Nebuchadnezzar had stolen from God's Temple of Jerusalem be brought in so that he and his nobles, his wives and concubines, could drink from them.3 When the gold and silver chalices were brought in, the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank wine from them.4 They drank the wine and drunkenly praised their gods made of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.5 At that very moment, the fingers of a human hand appeared and began writing on the lamp-illumined, whitewashed wall of the palace. When the king saw the disembodied hand writing away,6 he went white as a ghost, scared out of his wits. His legs went limp and his knees knocked. The seen Hand of God is seen! Writing on the plaster of the wall. The king was so frightened his body responded and gave way. Greek historians wrote of a great feast happening on the night of the fall of the great city of Babylon Oct 12^th 539 BC. This was one of the greatest empires ever in existence and it crumbles in a single night. Belshazzar made a grievous mistake of treating the holy as unholy. VS 2 2 Belshazzar, heady with the wine, ordered that the gold and silver chalices his father Nebuchadnezzar had stolen. All the articles that had been taken by Nebuchdnezzar were in storage until this time.

Lev 10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed The Dwelling and everything that was in it, consecrating them.11 He sprinkled some of the oil on the Altar seven times, anointing the Altar and all its utensils, the Washbasin and its stand, consecrating them.12 He poured some of the anointing il on Aaron's head, anointing him and thus consecrating him.

He anointed every single article in the temple. An anointed article or person: Hebrew masiyah…When you say it phonetically it is Messiah. This is the word we get messiah, the anointed one. Cristos-Greek, the anointed One, both of these words mean the exact same thing. You anoint everything that has to do with the worship to and the service to the one who is the anointed ONE

2 Chronicles 7:16 Believe me, I've chosen and sanctified this Temple that you have built: My Name is stamped on it forever; my eyes are on it and my heart in it always.

Qadas- Hebrew for consecrate: means to be clean, to pronounce clean; to declare it as holey treat as holy; People or things are set aside and reserved exclusively for God. In this night in drunken foolishness Belshazzar gets in his head…. Bring in the goblets… what kind of goblets? Gold and silver both.

VS 3 They brought in the gold goblets… consecrated were lifted up to their gods…. From the 3^rd verse no silver was mentioned, God only allowed them to drink from the gold, because only the gold empire were held responsible for drinking from the gold goblets

Belshazzar make a serious mistake by treating the holy as unholy.WE too are holy vessels in the house of the Lord

2 Timothy 2:20-21

20 In a well-furnished kitchen there are not only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste cans and compost buckets-some containers used to serve fine meals, others to take out the garbage.21 Become the kind of container God can use to present any and every kind of gift to his guests for their blessing.

Be a container that God can use to bless His guests.

Ephesians 1:1 I, Paul, am under God's plan as an apostle, a special agent of Christ Jesus, writing to you faithful Christians in Ephesus.2 I greet you with the grace and peace poured into our lives by God our Father and our Master, Jesus Christ. The God of Glory

Referring us as saints: The term saint is applied to anyone who believes Jesus Christ is Lord. We are saints. The word saint is : holy one… the holy one

Ephesians 1:4 Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.

He chose us to be saints, to be holy. Both of these words and holy VS both come form the same lexical form Hagios meaning holy sacred separated from ordinary or common usage and devoted to God

Something holy has been brought into relationship with God and designated by Him as having a sacred purpose or special significance, marked as holy, classified as belonging to God… sacred, hallowed, consecrated

We are holy-separated from the ordinary, devoted to #AWE-GOD. We have a sacred purpose, a special significance- marked as holy-classified as belonging to God!

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

2 Cor

21 God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us.22 By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge-a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.

He anointed us! The Lord knows those who are His. We have a very visible mark or seal upon us to the unseen world, those in the heavenlies see it. Our eternity has been secured in heaven this moment, there is no doubt, you are not almost anything, you are. There is a mark on us, it shows somehow in the unseen world. We too are Holy Vessels in the house of the Lord.

Can we accept, assimilate into our thinking. Do we understand we have been declare holy. God literally spoke out and declared us holy and set His name on our head. If we have been declared as holy, do we treat ourselves as such. We have been set apart for sacred service. God puts us out in the world to be set apart for holy sacred service. Nothing ordinary about us, wherever we are. Nothing is to satans greater advantage than to make sure we do not see ourselves this way as holy or as set apart. Satan cannot declare us un=holy but he can make us think like we are and then we act like it. We act like we feel. It is to his very great advantage that he convince us that we are defiled and there is nothing sacred about us.

Satan has no greater agenda than attempting to desecrate what God consecrates

His methods are many but one of his specialties is reflected in Dan 5:2-3

Daniel 5:2-3 Belshazzar, heady with the wine, ordered that the gold and silver chalices his father Nebuchadnezzar had stolen from God's Temple of Jerusalem be brought in so that he and his nobles, his wives and concubines, could drink from them. 3 When the gold and silver chalices were brought in, the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank wine from them.

What Belshazzar did with the holy vessels from the temple of God is what satan wants to do with us. Nothing makes him happier than to use our vessels to toast an unholy cause. We will act out of what we are most deeply convinced of and he will convince us deceptively.

This is what the enemy wants to do with us, use our vessels to toast an unholy cause. satan has a will for our lives. If he can make us think we are common, not holy, if he can convince us of that, he knows he can use us to toast an unholy cause and act out of that which we are most convinced of. Satan uses all kinds of methods to use our vessels to toast an unholy cause: business, tax, finances, any way he can twist a servant into selfish ambition, relational, selfish ambition, any way that we act less than Who we are, this is the way he does it, to get the holy to act unholy or common.

Notice the inclusion of the wives and the concubines: this just did not "happen" protocol in that period of history did not have women taking part in these kind of things, the women were kept separate, this was part of Belshazzar plan to turn this Ester 1:9 Women kept separate, same era of time… inclusion was to add a sense of licentiousness in the revel, to turn it into disrespect towards God into a drunken orgy and disrespect God.

How can we be corrupted by Babylon, symbolically by the kind of culture that is around us. Defilement and corruption is just not sexual, if we brought it to the forefront to the top of our study, that is how we would have associated the whole idea of Babylon. How do we become godly influences in the culture we have been assigned to but right in the midst of a Babylon? Defiled! How do we do this with integrity and not be corrupted by what is surrounding- around us. What does it mean to be corrupted by something? Pride corrupts us! The selfish ambition to power and position corrupts us this is a way we are corrupted in our Babylon's. All sorts of examples of any way that we prioritize external beauty over beauty of character, our pursuit of image, building a golden image for ourselves, anyway we are not as we seem is image building. What Babylon surrounds us? This is a specialty of the devil doing everything we can to treat the holy as unholy as the temptation of sexual sin

1 Cor 6 we are told that sexual sin is against the body, it has the capacity for us to wear it almost as no other. The enemy knows that sexual sin has a sticking power to us, we take it on in our attitudes, the demeanor of shame. Nothing makes the enemy happier when he treats God's holy vessels in unholy ways through sexual sin, it has an impact, a staying power. He uses our vessels to toast an unholy cause and he is glad he has done it, and he thinks it is funny. Motive of heart. Whatever the enemy has gotten by with in your life, he is so happy he did that he used us, the people of God to toast an unholy cause. What are you planning to do with this? Will we let the enemy get away with it. Our culture is dramatically different from our grandparents and great grandparents. Life has changed dramatically in the last 100 years. What is satan up to in the culture we live in. The Bride is supposed to be making herself ready and the enemy is coming against our western culture with such an assault of sexual temptation, he is drastically shorting the distance between temptation and participation to keep our senses in a state of awakenings. If our sense are already awake through music, media and sexual images that hit us all throughout the day then the distance between temptation and participation is short. We are inundated with so much sexual stimulation by the time opportunity knocks we are already half way there in a state of awakeness. We are in a tremendous emergency situation because by the time opportunity comes we are half way to it and our guard is down because it is already on our minds. We have to wised up and get fortified. The pain of sexual sin is great because of the guilt and the shame that goes with it, we need to cease playing this game with satan. One of the ways we treat our holy vessels as unholy is with immodest dress. Dressing in an unholy fashion, we are used by the enemy to toast the gods of this world. We can be cute and modest, we can be influential in our home, workplaces and communities and do so with purity and holiness. We have been set apart to be holy. We act like what we dress ourselves to be. We dress on purpose.

God does not overlook satan's mistreatment of holy vessels any more than He overlooked Belshazzar's

Daniel 5: 5-12

At that very moment, the fingers of a human hand appeared and began writing on the lamp-illumined, whitewashed wall of the palace. When the king saw the disembodied hand writing away,6 he went white as a ghost, scared out of his wits. His legs went limp and his knees knocked.7 He yelled out for the enchanters, the fortunetellers, and the diviners to come. He told these Babylonian magi, "Anyone who can read this writing on the wall and tell me what it means will be famous and rich-purple robe, the great gold chain-and be third-in-command in the kingdom."

8 One after the other they tried, but could make no sense of it. They could neither read what was written nor interpret it to the king.9 So now the king was really frightened. All the blood drained from his face. The nobles were in a panic.

10 The queen heard of the hysteria among the king and his nobles and came to the banquet hall. She said, "Long live the king! Don't be upset. Don't sit around looking like ghosts.11 There is a man in your kingdom who is full of the divine Holy Spirit. During your father's time he was well known for his intellectual brilliance and spiritual wisdom. He was so good that your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, made him the head of all the magicians, enchanters, fortunetellers, and diviners.12 There was no one quite like him. He could do anything-interpret dreams, solve mysteries, explain puzzles. His name is Daniel, but he was renamed Belteshazzar by the king. Have Daniel called in. He'll tell you what is going on here."

The queen comes into the hall because she heard the screaming. She says: You need Daniel. Daniel was not active under this ruler. See how Daniel was said to solve difficult problems… the loosening of knots is what it meant in the Aramaic. Do you have a situation in a knot that you can't imagine getting out of. God can solve it.

25 and this is what is written: mene, teqel, and peres.26 This is what the words mean: "Mene: God has numbered the days of your rule and they don't add up.

27 "Teqel: You have been weighed on the scales and you don't weigh much.

28 "Peres: Your kingdom has been divided up and handed over to the Medes and Persians."

29 Belshazzar did what he had promised. He robed Daniel in purple, draped the great gold chain around his neck, and promoted him to third-in-charge in the kingdom.

30 That same night the Babylonian king Belshazzar was murdered.31 He was sixty-two years old. Darius the Mede succeeded him as king.

Given to the silver Kingdom… the arms of the statute, the two coming together… two kingdoms coming together against the Babylonian empire. The change of empires Oct 12 while they are having the banquet, Daniel is called in and tells them how the words applied to Belshazzar, Kingdom is divided given to the Medes and the Persians. You have been weighed on the scales of God and proclaimed wanting… That very night, the silver Kingdom outstretched its arms and took control of Babylon and Belshazzar was killed.

VS 30 is a critical point! That very night Darius the Mede took over and King Belshazzar was killed, change of empires.

Every time the enemy sees your head in the book of God, He sees the handwriting on the wall. The bible records, it records his own demise. Revelations 20 he remains forever in lake of burning file

God is, God knows, God acts.

2 Timothy 2:21 (New International Version)

21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

Ezra records what happe3ns when Cyrus The Great comes in and he gives the decree that the captives get to go home. 50 thousand go to Jeresualme and start rebuilding the temple Exra and Nehemiah follow behind what happens

Cyrus Helps the Exiles to Return

1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

2 "This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: (Makes declaration- that the captives get to go home)

"'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. 4 And in any locality where survivors may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.'"

5 Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem. 6 All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.

7 Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.[a] 8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 This was the inventory: 9And they numbered: 30 basins of gold; 1,000 basins of silver; 29 sacrificial dishes; 10Of gold bowls, 30; another sort of silver bowl, 410; and other vessels, 1,000. 11All the vessels of gold and of silver were 5,400. All these Sheshbazzar [the governor] brought with the people of the captivity from Babylon to Jerusalem.

Footnotes:

Ezra 1:1 Cyrus, a heathen ruler of a heathen empire (Persia), was "twice named [before his birth] in the book of Isaiah as anointed of God and predestined to conquer kings and fortified places and to set the Jews free from captivity (Isa. 44:28; 45:1-14). Daniel... records that during the night that followed a great feast, Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, was slain, and Darius the Mede received the kingdom (Dan. 5:30, 31). Darius was the predecessor of Cyrus, or his regent, in Babylonia (Dan. 6:28)" (John D. Davis, A Dictionary of the Bible). God gave Cyrus the resolution and the desire to execute His intention. That the Lord at this time chose a heathen as His instrument was in accordance with the new position that the empires of the world were henceforth to assume toward the kingdom of God (J.P. Lange, A Commentary)

Ezra 8

²⁸ I said to them, "You as well as these articles are consecrated to the LORD. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your ancestors. ²⁹ Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests and the Levites and the family heads of Israel." ³⁰ Then the priests and Levites received the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

They were consecrated back to the Lord and then they were

Vessels treated as unholy can be treated as holy again.

Satan has gotten a lot of good laughs out of me, he took my holy vessel and used it to toast an unholy cause…. just as the vessels were returned above and declared holy and reconsecrated to God. Nothing the enemy has done to us has declared us as unholy. We corrupt and defile our temples in all sorts of ways but it is time we wise up to guard them carefully make a declaration of Who we are before God.

Ask God to help us take this seriously today, that it means to us today, that we heard we have been set apart make sacred, made uncommon , extraordinary give us eyes that will be opened to the enemy to never use us to toast unholy cause

I Kimberly Ann McCarthy belong to God. I am a holy vessel because I house the Holy Spirit of the living God! The Lord of heaven and earth has said over me, I declare you holy. Today I commit to start believing what He says. I am holy. Empower me daily spirit of the living God to treat myself as Holy. Open my eyes to everything scheme of the enemy to treat me as if I am not. You God are God, Your Word is Truth, this day Father I choose to believe You in Jesus name. AMEN! AMEN!

Kimberly, don't procrastinate!

1 Chronicles 12:15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

As we continue our study of the Mighty Men of David, another quality is worth pointing out -- they were not procrastinators. Notice that these men decided to cross the Jordan river when it was at flood stage! They didn't wait till the river receded, but rather, boldly crossed when it was the most dangerous!

And because of this boldness -- remember in our previous study they were described as mighty men whose faces were like the faces of lions with the swiftness of gazelles -- they crossed the river without fear or hesitation. Their boldness and courage set fear into the hearts of their enemies who trembled before the spirit of these men, and fled before them to the east and to the west!

Kimberly, in these last days the enemy of our souls would love to strike terror in our hearts, but there is only ONE whom we should fear, with a reverential and Holy fear -- our awesome Creator! Is there an obstacle before you today -- a "flooded river" that stands to stop your advance? Don't procrastinate if you know the Lord's will -- go boldly, press forward, without hesitation! He will go before you and strike fear in the hearts of your enemies!

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

Mark 8:36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

Notes From Listening To Mark 8

They had nothing to eat and Jesus had compassion for them. The disciples were doubting how they could feed them. How many loaves do you have? 7… interesting 7 the perfect number. Jesus gave thanks for what He had and all the people ate and were satisfied, 4000 people… Jesus fed and there were 7 loaves left over. Jesus!

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

Jesus had compassion. He knows what we are growing through. He cares. The disciples looked at the situation and not at WHO was with them. They voiced their human doubt before they beheld the supernatural answer. We need to flip-flop this in our lives, we must look to the One Who Can provide before we voice our human deficiency and our hopelessness. Jesus gave thanks for what He had. Interestingly so! What a truth here in this passage, something Jesus is modeling for us. I think it is a great idea to give thanks for what we have before looking at what we don't have. It is positioned in gratefulness for what has been provided already, that we come to Jesus for what we need. In gratefulness there is always provision and there is always more than enough. Gratefulness brings forth an abundance with many leftovers!

The Pharisees asked for a sign, Jesus signed why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign, no sign will be given to them. Jesus warned them watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees, the disciples did not really hear or understand what Jesus meant…. Do you have eyes but fail to see, ears but fail to hear. Don't you remember…. When I broke the 7 loaves how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up…7 Do you still not understand. Jesus took the blind man by the hand and spit on his eyes, Jesus asked to you see anything, He saw people looking like trees and then Jesus put his hand on his eyes and he saw everything clearly… Don't go into the village Jesus said. Who do people say I am? John the Baptist and others say one of the prophets… but what about you, Who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ. Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him. He taught them the son of man must suffer many things and be rejected, killed and after three days rise again. Peter took him aside and rebuked him and then he rebuked Peter get behind me satan, you do not have in mind the things of God but the things of men. If anyone comes after me, deny himself and take up his cross whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but if lose it for the gospel will save it. What can a man give in exchange for his soul. If you are ashamed of me and my words, I will be ashamed of you when I come in my Father's Glory with the holy angels.

What an amazing promise! Lose your life today in Christ and He will save it. Invest the all of God in your everything-God's Got It! Mark 8:36

Who Do I Say Jesus Is! He Is The Son Of AWE-GOD! He is the One I humbly-reverently-willessly submit to today!

charles spurgeon devotional

"For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth."

Amos 9:9

Every sifting comes by divine command and permission. Satan must ask leave before he can lay a finger upon Job. Nay, more, in some sense our siftings are directly the work of heaven, for the text says, "I will sift the house of Israel." Satan, like a drudge, may hold the sieve, hoping to destroy the corn; but the overruling hand of the Master is accomplishing the purity of the grain by the very process which the enemy intended to be destructive. Precious, but much sifted corn of the Lord's floor, be comforted by the blessed fact that the Lord directeth both flail and sieve to his own glory, and to thine eternal profit.

In the sieve true weight alone has power. Husks and chaff being devoid of substance must fly before the wind, and only solid corn will remain.

Observe the complete safety of the Lord's wheat; even the least grain has a promise of preservation. God himself sifts, and therefore it is stern and terrible work; he sifts them in all places, "among all nations"; he sifts them in the most effectual manner, "like as corn is sifted in a sieve"; and yet for all this, not the smallest, lightest, or most shriveled grain, is permitted to fall to the ground. Every individual believer is precious in the sight of the Lord, a shepherd would not lose one sheep, nor a jeweler one diamond, nor a mother one child, nor a man one limb of his body, nor will the Lord lose one of his redeemed people. However little we may be, if we are the Lord's, we may rejoice that we are preserved in Christ Jesus.

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

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

Today, I Kimberly Ann McCarthy lay down my personal rights, plans, expectations and serve God for the sake of His Kingdom. I will cling to God's Kingdom Purposes that are in play all around me and put my personal expectations in His hands.

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Kimberly, fighting takes training!

1 Chron. 12:2 armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows with the bow. They were of Benjamin, Saul's brethren.

Hebrews 11:33-34 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

As we continue our study of the men who followed David, another characteristic was their ability to war. They learned how to battle with both the right hand and the left hand for hurling stones. If you have ever thrown a ball, you know that you can aim effectively with your dominant hand - but try it with the opposite hand - it's far more difficult to throw accurately. But the men that followed David learned to throw with both arms effectively! It must have taken months of training to develop such skill.

We also learn to war, not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. And we too must train to use our spiritual weapons, and to use them accurately. The word of God is a sharp sword when used with skill and spiritual authority, and the right scripture for a situation can bring tremendous healing and deliverance; but we must know the word and walk in the spirit to be able to use it in warfare.

Furthermore, every serious intercessor knows he must learn to concentrate his mind and will intently for battling in prayer. For his aim to be accurate and penetrating he must overcome the tendency to wander in his thoughts and lose focus on the issue at hand. To be effective warriors we need to train our minds and wills to concentrate so that our prayers become like lasers for breaking through in the spirit.

Kimberly, in this day and age, Yeshua (Jesus) is calling us to spiritual battle, and our training is critical for success and victory. We must know the word and use it skillfully, and we must learn to concentrate in prayer for the spiritual objectives to which we are called. The Lord will equip us as we ask and seek Him for it, and do our homework. Let's be inspired by David's mighty men, training diligently to take aim in our battle with the powers of darkness!

My Thoughts About This:

I guess we just don't realize how intense the spiritual battle is around us, God's purposes are in play all around us, so of course the enemies schemes must be in play too. I war too much in the flesh, this is true, I must learn to war more in the Spirit. The Word of God is powerful and I love to pray it, because I know it does not return void. My mind, yes I struggle there, that is my greatest struggle in becoming a spiritual warrior for God. Lord, I pray You would help me win the battle of the mind focus by Your Spirit. Teach me to be a better warrior, train me up Holy Spirit.

End Of The Story! Do Not Hold Grudges! Colossians 3:13 Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive].

I don't have the ability to truly love without God.

Galatians 6:14 But far be it from me to glory [in anything or anyone] except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) through Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!

Amplified Bible

Proverbs 16: 5-6 Everyone proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting, hateful, and exceedingly offensive to the Lord; be assured [I pledge it] they will not go unpunished. 6 By mercy and love, truth and fidelity [to God and man--not by sacrificial offerings], iniquity is purged out of the heart, and by the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord men depart from and avoid evil.

Don't be rude! We have so many occasions where we get frustrated with people and we just fly off in rudeness. God is not pleased with rudeness. We need to step up.

Ephesians 2:42

Ephesians 4:31-32

Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind).

32And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.

Colossians 3:11-13

[In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There [a]is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians [[b]who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [[c]everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person]. 12Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper]. 13 Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive].

Don't be self-seeking. Don't live for yourself. Our culture teaches us to be very self-indulgent with much excess. Live For The Kingdom Of God.

Romans 12:9-11

[Let your] love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good. 10Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another. 11Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.

THEE WORD FOR THE WEEK

Bill Jenkins Connect Group Study

Thursday: Read James 1:2-4

How can we have joy in trials?
Is joy something that we can choose even when circumstances are challenging?
Joy does not depend upon a happening. That is happiness. Joy is something we can choose. How are you doing in choosing joy in the challenging circumstances?

James 1:2-4

Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. ³Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. ⁴But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.

Amplified Bible (AMP)

My Thoughts About This:

Joy is a choice and it comes out of serving others. God wired us with His Joy when we are found in the purpose He has in play, when we are serving Him and His purposes, we experience His Joy. Happiness to me is fleeting, especially when you chase after it, the variables are never the same and when we stand in happiness, it is on a slippery slope. Because of our human condition and our culturalism, happiness is pretty tainted, it is hard to truly grasp it for very long. Joy on the other hand comes from the inside of us, it is a God attribute that gets stirred up in supernatural ways as we fellowship with God in His Word, in serving Him and in loving Him 1^st. When I am in a particularly difficult situation, I can have joy in my faith through the promises of God. When God's Sovereign will is hard to swallow, I usually cling harder to His Infinite Love, the two go hand in hand. During trials I look to my Heavenly Hindsight that points me to God's faithfulness, and stirs up my trust.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;" Psalm 103:13 NIV

Notes From Listening to Psalm 103:

Praise the Lord all my soul, my inmost being praise His Holy Name… don't forget His benefits… heals us, redeems us, crowns us with love and compassion… renews our youth… works righteousness for oppressed. Compassionate, gracious, slow to anger abounding in love. He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us…. His love for us is great… As a father has compassion on His children, the Lord has on us who fear him. As for us our days are like grass… short… gone… but from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with us, and His righteousness with our children… The Lord has established His throne in Heaven and His Kingdom rules over all… Praise The Lord!

My Thoughts About This:

The compassion of our AWE-GOD is overwhelming. We don't get what we deserve, He gives us more, so much more than we could ever deserve, hope for or imagine. We are crowned with His compassion and renewed in His strength. His everlasting love never leaves us and He rules continuously over us, we are never alone, never betrayed and always kept in His righteousness. AWE-GOD! Thank You!

A Minute With Maxwell

Marketing!

We are bombarded by marketing. Gap between marketing and what they are like. The best marketing is not always professional. What would happen if we were our best marketers and people saw it and said: that person is the real deal. If what I advertize, market and what I am is different, I will send a mixed mixture. Daily discipline do what you should know to do, do what is right.

I think marketing anything starts from within. Marketing is nothing if it doesn't have a passion ignited by God. God puts things in our lives that we love to do, therefore, it is not coincidental that we have a passion for our life work. If we kindle our own fires, the soon burn out, so the best marketing to me is walking by the Light of God's passion in us, following after Him and being true to the inner man with our outer actions.

Well may my mouth be filled with joyous laughter, because of the singular, surprising grace which I have received of the Lord, for I have found Jesus, the promised seed, and he is mine forever. Oswald Chambers

My soul, get Calvary's blood-red rose into thy hand by faith, by love wear it, by communion preserve it, by daily watchfulness make it thine all in all, and thou shalt be blessed beyond all bliss, happy beyond a dream. Jesus, be mine forever, my God, my heaven, my all. Oswald Chambers

Gift of Grandchildren

"Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children." Proverbs 17:6

There are privileges to maturing in age, and one of them is the gift of grandchildren. Like a king and queen's crown, they are exceptionally valuable and are to be displayed proudly. You look at their hands and feet, and you pray for them to handle life prayerfully and to walk wisely with the Lord. You gaze into their innocent eyes and see glimpses of God's glory, and you pray for them to look often to the face of Jesus and know that He loves them.
Grandchildren are gifts from God that invite love and unify families. They are reminders that the Lord is at work extending His legacy. So as you love on these little ones make sure to sow into them the Word of God, and model for them grace, love, forgiveness, and fear of the Lord. Teach them to keep their eyes on Jesus, for He will never let them down. Godly grandparents invite trusting grandchildren into their lives.
Invite them to your work, so that they can see how you relate to people with patience, encouragement, and accountability. Invite them into your home, so they soak in how you unconditionally love and respect their grandmother or grandfather. Make sure they catch you laughing out loud every time they visit with you. Call them on the phone; send them emails and birthday cards; take them on trips; buy them ice cream, clothes, and their first Bible. Make their memories with you bring a smile to their face.
Lastly, if you are a parent, honor your parents by allowing them to be in the presence of your children. Take a break from parenting and let your mom and dad spoil them. If you are a grandparent, be extremely grateful to your children for the opportunity to invest in their children. Honor your children by respecting their way of parenting. Work with them and not against them. Indeed, your children still need your time, money, and wisdom.
"But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts" (Psalm 103:17-18).
How can I support my children as they parent their children?
Related Readings: Psalm 78:4-6; 128:6; Proverbs 13:22; Joel 1:2-4

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This Verse! AWE GOD!

All I can say to this is Yes and AMEN! Lord help me to be a blessing to my children and a Godly example to my grandchildren. Be in our relationships, help us to love, cherish and care for one another in a Godly way. Jesus.

John 15:8 ⁸When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.

Amplified Bible

God unapologetically desires to prosper His children spiritually, but today's lesson throws the spotlight on the temporal kind.

Bible Studies abide all the way in my subconscious where my deepest feelings and motivation are stirred and changed. They dislodged lies I've believed since childhood and replace them with truth.

Daniel 4:4-9

I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at home in my palace, contented and prosperous. 5 I had a dream that made me afraid. As I was lying in bed, the images and visions that passed through my mind terrified me. 6 So I commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret the dream for me. 7 When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers[a] and diviners came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me. 8 Finally, Daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream. (He is called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him.)

9 I said, "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Here is my dream; interpret it for me.

New International Version (NIV)

Nebuchadnezzar could not seem to dislodge his polytheistic thinking. God had never taken root in the inmost places of Neb's heart, transforming even his subconscious values and beliefs.

Luke 24:45

Then He [thoroughly] opened up their minds to understand the Scriptures,

Imagine, every time a person gains understanding of scriptural truths, the entire Godhead has been at work. God the Father must ordain it, the Son must open it, and the Holy Spirit must infuse it.

I kind of feel like Neb at times, God has taught me hard lessons and then a while down the road, I haven't learned it, I fall back into the same pattern. I do want to change that, I do want to learn from my hard lessons and truly change. I get frustrated with myself that I even lean towards a direction that I have learned a hard lesson on. I know I can live better! http://kimberlymac.blogspot.com
