IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, JUNE 9, 2008
Where to begin??? Where have I been? Good question.
Last Monday, June 2, 2008, about mid-day a sector went bad in our computer’s hard drive which left me with No email, No Internet Access – no nothing!! We have now been restored BUT not all. My email address book has not been recovered. So all IDOK e-mail addresses have to be re-entered one by one – hopefully the 5/22/08 address book print out was up to date. SO posting to the Blog is the best I can do until all 100 plus addresses have been re-entered. IDOKs if you are reading this, please send me an e-mail; that would be a much easier way to add you back.

Sunday’s Services were good! As I sang (along with the rest of the congregation) the closing hymn I looked at the words closely and I’d like for us to do that together this morning. It is a most powerful song; a song of salvation!
Just as I Am, Without One Plea
By: Charlotte Elliott
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me
And that thou bidd’st me come to thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
In this stanza we confess without Jesus we have no hope to be saved. We confess He ALONE, the Lamb of God can save us; ONLY the Blood of Jesus can pay for our sins and moreover, we confess He has called us to Himself and because He has called we have answered YES!
Just as I am and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Here we are not saying let me wait a little longer; we are believing NOW is the time of salvation. We are saying my sin is dark, my sin has made me filthy and ONLY the Blood of the Lamb of God is enough to make me clean. Do you see that? CLEAN! The BLOOD of the LAMB OF GOD makes YOU clean!!! And in deed now is the time!! Why would any lost soul wait? Aren’t you glad you didn’t wait?
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am – coming now just as I am, even though I don’t have it all together; hardly even know which end is up; have wars waging on the inside and doubts rolling around in my head but despite the fightings and the fears LAMB of GOD I say yes! Isn’t that what you did? I did!
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
And don’t you love this? Just as I am, too poor to save myself; too wretched to be good; and too blind to see, BUT the LAMB of GOD has opened my eyes and given me sight to see HIM; moreover He has given you and me HIS riches and yes, He has healed our minds! YES, He is ALL we need.
Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Oh how blessed is this?! Now that I have come I see, Lamb of God, You have received me. You have welcomed me. You have pardoned me. You have cleansed me. You have relieved me of all my sin and guilt and shame. How Lamb of God, how can this be? And He said, because you have BELIEVED!! Oh sisters (and brothers) can you shout on that one?
Just a I am; thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
And finally; Oh, Lamb of God, a love like Yours I have never known; Your love for me has broken down my every resistance; gladly now I am Yours and Yours alone!! IDOKs, can you sing this song this morning? Can you sing this song of salvation? Then sing, my dear ones, sing!!
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Abba, I am so grateful to have this access again. Thank you for the good I see coming and even the good I don’t see yet. Thank You for what You are doing in the lives of each of us. Thank You that all things do work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purposes. Thank You Lord Jesus, Lamb of God, for saving this lost ‘goat’ and making me a sheep. And now we come together as the sheep of Your pasture and we pray for one another, for these listed here and particularly the Therrell family, asking for comfort and grace to grieve in holiness the passing of Buddy. We pray for the safety and protection of our IDOK Troops, not just physically but minds and spirits too. We pray for the Peace of Israel and for America to have the guts to stand with Her. We pray for America that You will have mercy on Her and give space and grace to repent. We pray for the presidential nominees, You know what we need and Thy Will be done we pray. Thank You Abba for this ministry; thank You for each and every soul who reads here, bless and impart Yourself to them for Jesus sake. Amen and amen. Malpas Family. Kevin M and Family. Darlene.
