Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7
And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. I John 2:25

I just heard this phrase on Christian Television and it prompted me to come and begin today’s IDOK. The phrase was: ‘You are believing somebody right now.” That struck me strongly as truth. At this very moment, whatever thoughts are racing through my mind or yours, we are believing someone. Question is – who? Scripture tells me that my own flesh is untrustworthy.
Romans 7:

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
So maybe believing my flesh (my natural mind) is not good.
Further, Scripture says Satan is the father of lies.
John 8:

44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
So neither is believing him a good thing.
And Scripture says this about the world:
I John 2:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
He desires to give us abundant life in the here and now.
As the phrase says, we are going to believe somebody – It might as well be HIM.
So whatever thoughts you are entertaining today, is it Father talking to you? If not, don’t you believe a word of it!

Jeremiah 29:
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Psalm 33:
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
Psalm 40:
5 Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them,They are more than can be numbered.
Jeremiah 31:
3 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying:“ Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
4 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
I Corinthians 2:
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Pray for the Peace of Israel
Father, thank You for the thoughts You have for us and that they are all good; that You never think evil or hateful thoughts about us, nor do You send those thoughts to us for us to think and entertain. We know who does that; help us cease to believe ANYTHING he says. And thank You for new minds that You have given us – Your Very Own. Thank You and we pray for strength and desire to use them today. Thank You for each and every IDOK and I now collectively pray for each of them and I know You individually will answer for each of them. Thank You Father. You are AWESOME. You know our hearts for Brenda and Steve and Janet and Kevin and the family and Bay and her family and Grace and all these named here and especially Father those so close in heart they have not been named – Lord, we’d like a Word for these; a Word from You and You alone; for only Your Word can we trust and only Your Word do we desire to believe. Help us believe Lord. And while we are asking for You to enable and bring us to more believing You, help us be more fervent in praying too, help us carry on real and full of power conversations with You. Help us just dialogue with You continually for people we love and people we need to love and for circumstances that just maybe You would allow us the privilege to work with You in. And we dare not forget Israel and her Peace with You; protect her and deliver her from her enemies and America, bless us Lord with conviction and repentance and our IDOK Troops, protect them again today from all harm in mind and body and bring this war to a successful conclusion and bring our IDOK Troops home safe and sound and more in love with You than ever before we pray in Jesus Name. And Father, the conference is a month away, bring the women that need to hear from You, bring the women who want to hear from You and bring the women who hope to hear from You; Lord, I know You will be Present and I know You have a message don’t let Satan or the world or our own flesh keep any woman away from this conference that You want at this conference. Lord, open doors and provide everything needed to get them there – tickets, transportation and child care; whatever it takes Lord, don’t let them miss You and this we ask for Jesus sake. Brenda D.
