IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2009
I have personal word from one or two of you that you are planning to be at the conference, so tune me out for a paragraph here if you have decided to attend. If you have not passionately prayed about attending this conference, why is that? It’s an invitation, an opportunity, to come away from your usual routine, gather with other women who love Jesus or at least have an interest in getting to know Him; relax and take a load off your mind and heart, laugh, listen, and just maybe hear the Word from God that you have been waiting for all your life. What’s holding you back from saying YES? And yes that is a rhetorical question. You don’t need to answer to me but it just may be that ABBA wants you to answer it to Him. Some of you are several States away and coming is not feasible or practical, if that is you, please pray that Sisters here on the Gulf Coast will receive the compelling of the Holy Spirit to come to this conference, and will come hungry for a Word from Him.
Mark 6:31 And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)
I keep a radio turned to a Christian station and quietly playing in the laundry room, twenty-four seven, and when the house is quiet, I can clearly hear the lyrics. And early Sunday morning quietly seated across the hall, I heard: “I know my Redeemer Lives”. It’s a beautiful song. Sunday morning’s rendition was sung by Nicole C. Mullen. Each time I hear the song I think of my ‘Little Girl’ now 35 and when she’s on her way to work she has been known to ‘belt it out’ herself, eyes welled in tears. And as I thought about that, I rejoiced. And I said to myself what greater joy in the world could there be for a Mother than knowing her child knows ‘her’ REDEEMER LIVES? 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. And the Amplified Bible gives it this way: 4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my [spiritual] children are living their lives in the Truth.
And if that is true for natural moms and dads and spiritual moms and dads, we can only imagine how pleased is ABBA when He sees and hears His children ‘singing’ I know my Redeemer Lives with our daily breathing in and out. And yes here’s a link to lead you in worship this morning.

I’d appreciate your prayers for me, I have an interview at 10:00 (this morning) for a 32 hour a week job – more details to come, if I get the job.
Any practice of holiness by my children or grandchildren delights me, ABBA. My joy and my delight is to see or hear them praise You and when they do my parental delight is too good for words. Why do I find it so difficult to believe You delight over me too when by Your grace I make a right decision or offer You a sacrifice of praise? When my Little One tears up with joy over You and I am so grateful and so proud of her my heart swells to near explosion, why is it that when my own tears freely flow in grateful worship of Who You are to me, that I don’t accept that You are proud of me? So I am praying for me and for any IDOK who will say AMEN that before this year is out we accept and embrace more fully visions of You delighted with us. We want to be well pleasing to You and, yes, LORD, we want to believe we are well pleasing to You. Anything less is unbelief, isn’t it Father? And we do not want to be unbelieving of anything You say or do or Are. We come now praying for our IDOK Troops, for their safety and protection, for their walk of faith with You that You will be their priority One; that You will bring each of them home safe and sound and more in love with You than when they deployed. We continue to pray for Israel, for peace, for wisdom, for protection and for victory over any person or nation who rises to harm them or take from them what You have ordained for them. For America we continue to pray for space and grace to repent. And Father as I think about America’s Leaders, especially those who have by Your Spirit been born-again, I pray they will not fail You or betray You in word or deed or vote. And for those on Capital Hill that deny You and seek to silence those of us who love You I pray You will arrest their behavior, reveal Yourself to them and I pray they will yet repent and be saved. I pray for Pastor Warren that he will minister the privilege of prayer on January 20 and that he will not betray You with political correctness. ABBA, I do not want to ever maliciously offend or hurt another, and neither do I want to be so silent that they die and go to hell never having heard me tell them there is a way of escape for them. I know it is not for me to touch every soul with Your Gospel but don’t let me fail to touch the ones You have ordained for me. And I pray this too for every willing IDOK. And Father, before we close, we remind You, not that You have forgotten, but just to ensure that we don’t forget each one listed here, please do for them what only You can do for them and move us to do what we can do for them in Jesus Name and for His sake. Move our hearts, hands and feet to minister to these as You will. Amen and amen.
