His Favorite Song of All

IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2008
Revelation 22: 20    He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Let your tears wash your face, raise your hands in abandoned surrender and bring a smile to FATHER GOD’s face today.

The pictures that accompany this song are magnificent. I recommend full-screen viewing.
If you are unable at the moment to hear the song please be blessed by the printed words:
His Favorite Song of All
He loves to hear the wind sing
As it whistles through the pines and mountain leaves
And He loves to hear the raindrops
As they splash to the ground in a magic melody
He smiles in sweet approval
As the waves crash through the rocks in harmony
And creation joins in unity
To sing to Him majestic symphonies

But His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
There’s nothin’ more He’d rather hear
Nor so pleasin’ to His ear
As His favorite song of all

And He loves to hear the angels
As they sing, “Holy, holy is the Lamb”
Heaven’s choirs in harmony
Lift up praises to the Great I Am
But He lifts His hands for silence
When the weakest saved by grace begins to sing
And a million angels listen
As a newborn soul sings, “I’ve been redeemed!”

‘Cause His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
There’s nothin’ more He’d rather hear
Nor so pleasin’ to His ear
As His favorite song of all

Bridge:
It’s not just melodies and harmonies
That catches His attention
It’s not just clever lines and phrases
That causes Him to stop and listen
But when anyone set free,
Washed and bought by Calvary begins to sing

That’s His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
There’s nothin’ more He’d rather hear
Nor so pleasin’ to His ear
As His favorite song of all

Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I hope this song has brought a sweet time of worship to you as it has for me sitting here in the quiet of my office on the other side of your screen (well, not really just the other side, but it’s a sweet thought I think).

Oh let me give you just one more – Then Came The Morning by Signature Sound.

If these two songs don’t get a fire burning in your soul as the country folks say, ‘honey, yor wood’s wet.’
Have you considered that the Internet is a phenomenal tool for either great good or unimaginable devastation? A few keystrokes and the click of a mouse can bring to the viewing and hearing of young and old messages of salvation, hope and comfort or become a noose to strangle the life from its captives. As with numerous other ‘things’ in life, the tool is neutral,  it is the operator that determines if it will be a force for good or evil. In these days let us rally all our gifts, voices, and tools of every sort to bring the message of Christ Jesus’ salvation and hope to the young and the old.

Just a Hello Wish for a Happy Day

IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2008
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

So you will know I am not the only one saying it, even those who are much brighter and more experienced than I have reported:
Persecution on the horizon?
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, believes Senator Obama was elected, in large part, because the church in America has failed to address sin in its own ranks and also in society.
Perkins says Christians should pray for and return to a biblical model of holiness and righteousness. And believers in America, he adds, should prepare for persecution.
“We are going to see, I think, unprecedented attacks against our faith through measures like the hate crimes [legislation] to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act,” he says. “We’re going to see attacks on innocent human life through the Freedom of Choice Act, trying to erase all the gains that have been made in the pro-life movement. And I think even our freedoms are going to come under attack.”

Happy Thursday to you. Our God reigns – we have every reason to rejoice!!

Father, it has been a long day and You have been faithful every moment of it; thank You for Your forgiveness when I have not been faithful. And thank You for the progress that has been made today. I pray tomorrow will be more. I am reminded of Carolyn and the recovery I desire for her so that is my petition on her behalf today. Others come to mind too: Bernie and Linda, Mabel, Shay and the orphanage – supply that work with every penny they need, Lord. J.Lloyd, DeLois and Ray, and all these listed here – the deep needs of their hearts please position them to receive. We pray for courage for our IDOK Troops; we have heard the plans for them but we look not to any human, we look to You to care for and supply all their needs. Let them not feel abandoned, nor that their sacrifices have been in vain. Please continue to protect them. Father we have concerns for Israel and for Christians around the world who are being persecuted and murdered by the sons and daughters of Ishmael. I know not what to pray but for comfort, courage, protection, peace, repentance and Your soon return. For the abusers and murderers who hate You, we know, Lord, You love and die for them too and so we pray You will arrest their evil deeds and save their souls if at all possible. Comfort and restore to holy normality the McCains and the Palins; assist and comfort George and Laura as they embrace a new kind of normal and for the Obamas, Lord, thy will be done. I commend our IDOKs to You for courage, for determination to obey You, to memorize Scripture and share Your love and Your gospel with every soul You ordain for each of us. We wait upon You to reveal our ordered steps for Jesus sake. Thank You for peace in the storm. Please revive the saints and save the lost. Amen and amen.

A Renewed Attitude!

Leave a comment
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

This is mid-day Wednesday and it has been thus far an emotional day. ABBA has washed my eyes and my heart with tears and He has provided me laughter with loved ones. I am blessed beyond measure and I am grateful.
Before I continue, I acknowledge to you that I am not the brightest bulb in Father’s Light Bulb Carton and neither am I coming to you as the voice of a prophet, only what I think is likely to happen.
Let me be clear, I do not envision Obama as the anti-Christ but I do believe we can in him see a foreshadowing of the One yet to come. I think it would be wise of us who know the Lord Jesus as Savior and King to walk these years of Obama’s presidency as a foreshadowing of the Tribulation that is to come when the real Anti-Christ appears.
This is what I expect and what I urge each of you to do. As in the Tribulation revealed in Scripture there will be a time of ‘peace’ and prosperity; likewise, I am expecting early on in Obama’s reign for there to be an upswing in the economy. I expect there to be such an improvement that those who voted for him will some openly and some silently gloat that they were right about him and we were wrong. I think such a season of prosperity will ‘endear’ him even more to those who voted for him and even deceive others who do not walk closely with the Holy Spirit. When the season of prosperity has done its work, Obama will crack his whip against the Christian Church and the economic picture will go even darker, for some, than we have thus far experienced. My ‘counsel’ to you is when the economic upswing begins, do not be fooled, rather be wise. Romans 13: 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Get out of debt as fast as you can – make no new debts; save in as safe a venue as you can every dollar you can; invest your money, your heart, your mind and your time in the Kingdom of God, invest your prayers and even your dollars (if the Lord leads) in the safety of Israel. Prepare for famine in the feast time. Speak every word of the Gospel of Jesus Christ you can to every soul you can before serious persecution comes – this will prepare you to be faithful when the going gets tough.
You think I am nuts? You would not be the first. I would think I am too if I did not know that I am not smart enough to come up with this on my own. Neither on my own would I be prepared to say this: the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama is God’s gift of mercy to America. Not because he is a King David. No, he is more like a King Saul – what you get when you demand you own way.
I am excited to see what Father will unfold in the next while. And I am excited to see what He can do with a ‘no body’ like me in these last days. Most assuredly, ABBA is dealing with America in mercy, that is what we asked Him to do. His lavish kindnesses did not bring America to her knees in worship, maybe sovereignly-controlled hardship will. And without a doubt persecution will purge the Christian Church. To Him be the Glory!
ABBA You are Awesome and I am delighted with You. Thank You for the great mercy You have poured out on us and the plans for good that You have for us. Thank You that I can now pray for Obama and Michelle. DADDY GOD have mercy and if at all possible bring them to the place they will receive Your Wisdom and will welcome You Holy Spirit within them to guide and empower them for Your Glory and the repentance of America. Whatever you want me to do for Israel, I am willing for you to empower me with the wisdom and resources to do it. I pray You will now motivate me and will lead me to and empower me to memorize the portions of Your Word I need to memorize and to heed and minister Your Word to as many others as You call me to do so. I pray You will overwhelm me with a love for You and others like I have never known. I pray You will motivate and empower my beloved and I to get the financial resources You have given and will give in the order You know we need. I pray You will rebuke the devourer from not only our monetary resources but our physical well being, as well as our minutes and hours. Prosper us O LORD in these day not for our comfort but for Your Glory and good of Your Kingdom. And Father, I pray that as many IDOKs as You will call will rise to meet You in this for Jesus sake. Amen and amen.
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

In His Victory,

She Has Fallen and She May Not Get Up

IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2008
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I am not nearly as gracious as John McCain, nor do I have any intentions to be so.
I am personally betrayed by the people who call themselves ‘Americans’ and who have elected a baby murdering, sodomy promoting, socialist as President of what was once a Christian Nation. And my dear ones the operative words are ‘was once’. We can be sure without a doubt now that America is no longer a Christian nation. Obviously, these 50 states are populated with a remnant of Christians, just not enough so far to stem the tide of evil and corruption that has now settled in. Jeremiah Wright spewed from his pulpit: God damn America. It is not my ABBA who has damned America, She has damned herself. Her damning began in 1973; this night (November 4, 2008) is one more nail in Her coffin, her demise is sure when Obama turns ‘Americans’ on Israel. Genesis 12:2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
In time I will process this grief and betrayal and get beyond it, but not tonight.
Call me an alarmist if you like – it is my fervent prayer that I have only begun to sound the alarm! I pray I now become diligent and faithful in Scripture memorization. Obama’s quick rise to power should warn us well that Bibles could become illegal material sooner than we can imagine. Have not the ungodly people of America already given Washington the mandate to criminalize not only public Christian prayer in school but also the posting of the Ten Commandments, and the mere mention of the Name of Jesus in many public places? What will God-less ‘Americans’ be able to render illegal with Obama as their crusader and ‘messiah’?
Thus far a dear sister has termed this evening as a nightmare; yet she is still proclaiming and I with her that our God is still on His Throne and even the election of at the very least an Islamic sympathizer, Romans 8:28 is TRUE.
This night and the times leading to it are described this way: 2 Timothy 3: 1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
We must decide right now that we will not go looking for persecution but that when it comes we will REJOICE in it that we are considered worthy to suffer for Jesus sake. (Acts 5: 41 So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. 42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.)
A few more words from 2 Timothy:
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Holy Spirit, I am counting on You to intercede for me in my wailings and groanings and by faith in this moment I look forward to what You ABBA have in store for we who in truth belong to You. To You be all Glory and Praise. You are our AWESOME GOD and we will be faithful to You; we will rejoice and proclaim Your Name without apology in this even more hostile land that we now live. And ABBA I pray for grace to love my enemies for Jesus sake. Please forgive our previous tolerance; bring it to full and complete death in me for Your Name sake.
