IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2008
Eleven of Twenty Five – A Great Recipe:
11- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Is that your cry today? It is mine.
11- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Is that your cry today? It is mine.
As I begin, I am not long from watching the presidential debate. I had hoped for a real ‘town hall meeting’. That wasn’t it. However, for those with ears to hear, Barack Hussein Obama did announced tonight that he is a Socialist. He’s not out of the ‘closet’ yet but he did crack open the door. I fear not many heard him.
I don’t know that I have words to describe the heaviness of soul I have as I write to you. I have no worries about my eternal future nor even my temporal future. I know ABBA will take care of me. I know He will take care of You too who have exchanged your sin for His righteousness. I know that some exciting days are ahead for us but it may not be the excitement that we hoped. And no, I am not giving up. I am continuing to pray that Father God will intervene; that He will be gracious to America and give us John McCain as president instead of Obama. He can do it. I hope He will. We must not fail to bombard Father’s Throne with our cries. But we may need to modify our cries.
Of this I am certain: I am weary of watching and listening and hearing even Fox News report the polls to me and report this one’s opinion and that one’s opinion. Mainstream Media is not even an option for me. I am as serious as a heart attack when I say I truly would like to see every Christian in America turn off NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC Networks (not just the news programs) and refuse to buy liberal magazines and newspapers. These liberal God-less media networks and publications are stealing freedom out from under us. And thus far the Christian Church has been either too afraid or unwilling to separate Herself from it because it would be inconvenient or uncomfortable. As I see it we have two choices. We can either come out from among them or we can turn to a pillar of salt with them. 2 Corinthians 6: 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “ I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 17 Therefore “ Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”18 “ I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.”
My leading is that I don’t need to spend any more hours listening to anything the world has to say to me. I have made up my mind. I know who I am voting for and I know what to pray for in that arena. Enough is enough. I am not by any means advocating becoming a political ostridge – I am far too opinionated for that! But there’s a song that’s coming to mind: I’m Coming Back to the Heart of Worship cause it’s all about You Jesus. It’s all about You. And yes I am sorry for the things I have made it. And as you might expect – here’s a link to hear it. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH-snsXw1as&feature=related
This is my plan of action. Join me as you are led. I shall continue to pray, continue to speak for my presidential ticket, McCain-Palin, as I am out and about on Father’s business and if ABBA opens a political opportunity for me, I will hit hard and heavy as He directs. As to time and resources, liberal mainstream media has lost me and Fox even has less of me now too. I will catch just enough news to keep me an informed citizens for the purpose of being a better Christian. More time in the Word and more attention to the needs of family, friends, and community are a mandate for me. This presidential election is important, maybe the most important so far, but it’s not the end all of end all. Jesus is! And it’s time to start acting like it. Exposing Obama and others like him is important but directing and encouraging people in Worship of JESUS is America’s hope, even the world’s hope. So that’s my plan. Make it yours too, if you will.
In the words of Carmen – America Needs God Again.

But ‘She’ ain’t gonna see Him, if you and I don’t come out from among them and Worship Jesus.
Lord, forgive me. It’s not the first time I have asked in this presidential season but by Your grace it will be the last in regard to too much focus on them and not enough on YOU. I am so glad You are in charge of all this. I am so sorry I have acted like You are not. Thank You for clearing skies. Thank You for Christian faith. Whatever You are doing here, I want to be in step with You. I want to worship You. Lord, You clear and clean America as You see fit and if You have a mission for me in that clearing and cleaning, I am here to obey. ABBA, we have some loved ones here who are sick. Their bodies are struggling with disease and we sure would like for You to heal them. And there are some mamas and some daddies too that are not sure how to take hold of the falling apart worlds of their children and grandchildren. They really need Your help. I think they need physical strength for one thing but what they really could use is a rested mind and a renewed spirit. Will You do that for them today? Thank You, Lord. And folks are still dealing with shortages and outages as a result of Gustav and Ike, please help them today. And Emma’s Kids that seems to me to be a great ministry and even with the little I know about it I can see there would be much opposition from the evil one and many physical and financial needs there; so my prayer is for wisdom and provisions for the staff and the children. And, Lord, Shay really wants to go back to the orphanage. So if You will open up an account for her that will finance the trip and her stay there. And our IDOK Troops, thank You. You have kept them safe, You have blessed and provided for them and we ask You to continue until everyone of them comes home safe and sound. And even though we have not voiced every concern, we don’t even know every concern of every name listed here we do pray for them; for their peace of mind and well being and most all we pray that we will come back to worship. Worship that pleases You, ABBA. Continue to protect Israel and bring them to the peace You long to give them and Lord cleanse us Your Church and build a fire in us that will never be cold again. Amen and amen. Economic conditions, especially the effects it has upon the minds and hearts of people. Unspoken Requests – situations so close you can only speak to Father about. Jodi H. David T.
