IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2008
As I begin this devotion, I have a heavy heart for America. Rampant, blatant, willful sin; spiritual blindness, apathy, political corruption, media bias, all these things and more are as a blanket of sorrow upon me this evening. I am longing for the time when Jesus will come and rule from Jerusalem as Lord and King over all the peoples of this earth. His Thousand Year Reign from Jerusalem will eliminate terrorists, abortion, alcoholism, drug addiction, murder, rape, taxes, deceitful politicians, ungodly monopolies, all debauchery of any sort. I can only imagine how GOOD those years will be! I am jealous for those days; I want to see My Jesus honored, worshipped, loved, and obeyed in every nook and corner of this planet. Through the pen of John, The Holy Spirit has written:
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Yes, even so, come, Lord Jesus! Ever how much longer He tarries, it will not be as long as it has been. And until then I must allow this blanket of sorrow to do it’s work; to move me to the action He desires as I occupy this little nook of my world. I am asking you all to do the same. If He gives you a burning in your gut and a means to speak it – do it! Please don’t be silent. Our land is sin sick; so sick that She cannot be fully healed until Jesus comes but at least let us rescue as many of Her peoples as we can in the time we have left.
Matthew 28:18-20 The Message Bible
18-20 Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave His charge: “God authorized and commanded Me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”
An update on Jeremy H: Jeremy will be having surgery today (Tuesday?) to put in a Trach. When he’s awake he starts choking and gagging on the tube so they keep him pretty heavily sedated. So they’ll give him the Tracheotomy so he can be awake more and they can asses him more easily to see how alert he is and how well he’ll respond. He still has pneumonia and his blood pressure is still low. But everyone is hopeful that once he’s off so many sedatives he’ll quickly be on the road to recovery.
Update on Joseph Toomey: TUESDAY, MARCH 04, 2008 12:27 PM, CST Joseph does have a urinary tract infection so pray for that. He had some sorority girls from Auburn come visit him last night and they lifted his spirits. He is excited about coming home Friday. The TV crews just left his house and are doing a story about all the work that the GREAT people of the church and community are doing to the house. It is amazing to see how good people are!
Father, thank You for good reports, good news in the midst of heaviness and sorrow. You know the sadness and You know the work You desire for this sadness to do with me and I pray it be so. I ask You to have mercy upon this Country; forgive this People Lord; bless us with conviction and grace to repent. I continue to pray for the election of Your Choice for President. I don’t know what You can do with me to help this little corner of my world but I am here and I welcome Your Work in me. I pray for our IDOK Troops; for their safety and protection today of mind, body and spirit. I pray for the successful conclusion of this war; I pray for the Peace of Israel; I pray for each of these listed here; not knowing what to ask, just lifting them to Your Throne of Grace for Your Face and Your Touch – that will be more than enough Lord, more than enough.
