IN GOD WE TRUST

IDOK DEVOTION for Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Pray for the Peace of Israel

I would like to remind you again of the Eastern Shore Women’s Ministry Conference – our 4th Annual – to be held on November 3, 2007. Please pray, ask Father God if He has a message for you to receive at this conference. I would like to see you there. This link will give you all the information: http://www.easternshorewomensministry.com/news.html

Just in case you have been wondering about the $1 coin, I have read the Federal Mint admits that some of the $ coins were released without the words, “In God We Trust”. However, except for the miss-minted coins, we can find “In God We Trust” on the EDGE of the coin! And as my beloved husband says, “with use that will wear off!” We cannot pray too much for this Nation.
The first verse that comes to my mind in this regard is: The fool hath said there is no God. We find that verse in Psalm 14, verse 1: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
But that is not where the verse ends. Lets read on. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
You know for a ‘Being’ that does not exist (as some say), He sure has nailed us, hasn’t He? What an accurate description of fallen mankind! But these are not all the verses.
Psalm 53: 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Proverbs 10: 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
Proverbs 11: 29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
I think we can expand this to he who troubles this Nation, shall inherit the wind as it says in Hosea 8: 7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

Proverbs 12: 22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
Proverbs 15: 14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
And the way I see it many here have fed on foolishness; many have spewed out (proclaimed) foolishness.
I am saying in advance that I make no apology of this statement: Based on the Word of my Father, it is a fool who says there is no God and it takes a fool to remove from U. S. Coins or Currency or edifices – In God We Trust. But the greatest fool of all says: ‘for me there is no God.’
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

In God We Trust – Lets keep praying that one day This Nation as a whole will cease to proclaim herself a fool. More than ever we need to Pray: God Bless America. And when we ask Him to bless we are asking Him to Intervene, Get all up in the business of America, Put up Roadblocks, Spread out Obstacles, Whatever it takes to bring American to repentance; to again bring Her to a Nation that is Humbly Proud to say IN GOD WE TRUST!

Father, we Your people ask You to forgive and have mercy on America; bless her with conviction, Holy Spirit come in power and convince us of sin and lostness and build a desire to be saved in the people of America; expose the lies of Satan; expose the evil he intends for this people and give us vision and hope. And Father, if IDOK can be a part of this, please make it so.
And we call these people in particular to You this morning for Your Blessing, for every need in each individual life.

And please bring all of them home to us safe and sound, more in love with You than when they deployed. And Father, bring us to the place of everyday loving You more. Cause us to pant for You as the deer does for water.
As I post this it is 104°F and sunny in Baghdad, Iraq & the time there is 4:19 PM ADT – on September 19, 2007
I read this the other day: ‘you don’t have a soul; you are a soul; you have a body.’ Something to ponder
