IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2008
22 Days till Christmas
The following is “From 31 Family Devotions for Christmas, published by Barbour Publishing, Inc. Used by Permission.”
Stress-free Tip
Find a large jar and start saving all of your family’s loose change. Everyone can contribute. Next December you will have plenty of money saved to help someone in need.
Begin your December with the spirit of giving, and cultivate it as much as possible throughout the month. Presents and parties are fun for a while, but the true spirit of giving lasts for eternity.
I received a list of things we would learn if a dog was our teacher. Allow me to give you one a day until I exhaust the list. 1. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Read with me. Allow these passages of Scripture to give you strength, courage, hope, faith and peace.
2 Samuel 22:2 He said: The Lord is my Rock [of escape from Saul] and my Fortress [in the wilderness] and my Deliverer; 3 My God, my Rock, in Him will I take refuge; my Shield and the Horn of my salvation; my Stronghold and my Refuge, my Savior–You save me from violence. 4 I call on the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
As you can read from the text, Saul made himself David’s enemy. We have a ‘Saul’ in our life too – take heart. God is our Deliverer.
Continuing in 2 Samuel 22:28 And the afflicted people You will deliver, but Your eyes are upon the haughty, whom You will bring down. 29 For You, O Lord, are my Lamp; the Lord lightens my darkness. 30 For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall. 31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him. 32 For who is God but the Lord? And who is a Rock except our God? 33 God is my strong Fortress; He guides the blameless in His way and sets him free. 34 He makes my feet like the hinds’ [firm and able]; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights.
Did you notice: For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall? With the Holy Spirit within empowering us, ordinary Christians can do extraordinary things.
What I am about to give you here, I first placed at the bottom of the page but that far down some might miss it. And allow me to WARN you now this is not for the faint of heart, neither is it for those who only want good news. The only good news about what you are about to see, if you choose to see it, is that the God of Abraham, Jesus the Messiah, the GREAT I AM, reigns and He is a shield to those who trust in Him.
There is a short version and a 27 minute version. If you choose to view, in the 27 minute one, pay close attention to the references to the White House and the date such statements were made. http://www.obsessionthemovie.com/

If you have any doubts as to the veracity of this information, allow me to tell you that this documentary was shown in full on December 2, 2008 in a class room at Spring Hill College.
Remember: For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall. With the Holy Spirit within empowering us, ordinary Christians can do extraordinary things.
ABBA, thank You for reminding us that we are meant to live extraordinary lives. We are designed and empowered by You to accomplish extraordinary things. Simple, extraordinary things. That is more than we can take in in one setting, I ask that the seed be planted in each of us; that it take root in us and grow. Cause us to believe it, Lord, especially in light of the information given us in this documentary. And now that we have seen this, what are we to do? What are our individual roles to play in this world drama? Speak to us individually and collectively that we may know why You have made this known to us. And Father, those who are already in place facing the dangers of this, standing against this evil, we pray for their protection and their will to stand, Your strength within them to not fail and Your Faith within them to sustain them. We see the faces of the children with innocence taken from them. Lord, save the children. Father, You are our Rock, our Shield and our Deliverer. We are eternally safe in You and we thank You for Your Word that tells us this over and over. Holy Spirit, I really do not know how to pray about this except to say thank You that no power is given except You allow it; this is Your World and You are Sovereign God over it. No one stands or falls without Your permission. And Lord I thank You now that no force will ever over throw You. I pray for wisdom for Israel especially now in these immediate days, show Yourself faithful to Her; show Your Glory and give Victory for Israel and America too Lord if You will. Father, as a whole we have fallen so far, please forgive us. Empower the remnant within to live holy lives; to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Lord, make me so. Even with the enormity of this we bring our thoughts now closer to home and family and we pray for each of these listed here. Thank You that all of these are foremost in Your Heart too. We continue to especially think of Lucas and his family and Mrs. Mollie and her family, praying for full recoveries. And praying too for our IDOK Troops. They see this stuff up close. Thank You that You are their Shield and Defender and Deliverer. Grow Your Word in the hearts of our IDOK Troops more and more. And Father, bring them home safely and Father, defeat and bring to naught those who hate You and Yours and this we ask for Jesus Name Sake. Amen and amen. Unspoken Requests – situations so close you can only speak to Father about. Terry and family. Julia O. Ann C. Stan and Jowanna and Family. Carolyn. Mary. Mabel. Joan. Jodi H. David T’s Family.
