Just in case you have forgotten Mark Harris is worship leader at the Eastern Shore conference. Take a listen:

Do you recognize Fairhope Pier?
I suspect there are no Arabs reading our IDOKs as posted to THE WHITE STONE so this devotion must be given as encouragement to us; a Word to us that ABBA always keeps His Word however long it takes! Read with me from Joel 3:2 I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them for [their treatment of] My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and [because] they have divided My land. Want to see the Valley of Jehoshaphat? Follow this link: http://encarta.msn.com/map_701610131/valley_of_kidron.html
And with the link below go down to the middle of the web page for a picture of Valley of Jehoshaphat. I have NOT read the article so I cannot comment as to what it contains. http://focusonjerusalem.com/thevalleyofdecision.htm
I love it! Look how personally ABBA takes this. He says MY people, My Israel. But more than just Israel, He calls them MY heritage Israel. He says I WILL gather them (but note who it is He is gathering) and I WILL bring them down, I WILL deal with them, I WILL execute judgment upon them. WHY? For their treatment of MY PEOPLE. As surely as I live and breathe, as surely as I sit here in this chair, ABBA will keep His Word to Israel. (Arabs and any Peoples who hate Israel, beware. When you fight Israel, you fight GOD ALMIGHTY. Why would you be so foolish to think you can overthrow Him? )
And, IDOKs, as surely as He will keep His word to Israel, He will keep His Word to you and me who are also the seed of Abraham, not by BLOOD, but by spiritual birth. But you know what? It’s not just the righteous to whom ABBA keeps His word, He keeps it to EVERYONE! NO ONE can count on Him reneging.
Galatians 3: 16 Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah).
Galatians 3: 28 There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.
So are you waiting on DADDY GOD for something? Does the Evil One attack you telling you that DADDY will not deliver? He’s a liar; has been from the beginning. Don’t you dare believe him!
Lets go back to Joel 3:2. There’s another MY named there. MY LAND. And, of course, He is speaking of the LAND He gave to Israel. But that is not all, I am sure. It’s ALL His land. All the earth; every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every pebble, stone, mountain range, every drop of water in the seas; ALL OF IT! It’s His. And HE will rid it one day of all the pollution(s) of man, physically, materially, and spiritually. Hallelujah!
2 Peter 3:12 While you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the [material] elements [of the universe] will flare and melt with fire?
13 But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is to abide.
14 So, beloved, since you are expecting these things, be eager to be found by Him [at His coming] without spot or blemish and at peace [in serene confidence, free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts]. AMEN and AMEN!
And that’s not all I read in Joel and I would love to tell you more but this is getting long for one edition. We will see what comes in future devotions.
ABBA, I enjoyed this so much and we are not finished. There is so much for You to show us. And we want to see, we want to embrace what You show us; we want to be changed by Your Word, step by step to the image of You LORD our Savior. I ask You DADDY GOD to administer this devotion as You will to my heart and mind and to our IDOKs. Infuse us with power to make holy decisions and take holy steps toward maturity today and every day. Thank You that Dot is doing well. Thank You for every improvement You have given. And LORD, Jenifer comes to mind, You know her needs and I pray for her to receive every help You have for her. And we pray for our IDOK Troops, keep them safe in mind and body and spirit and bring them home safe and sound and more in love with You than when they deployed. And help Moms (and Dads and Grandparents) and wives and sisters (and brothers) and children to trust You to take care of their solider and to take care of each other here. Again we pray for Rick Warren that he will honor You LORD Jesus on January 20. We pray for the Obama Administration and every member of it that You will govern and reveal Yourself to them. We pray for America, for mercy, for grace and space to repent. And ABBA, if I can and our IDOKs can be instruments in Your Hands to help America, move us to do it. We pray for our respective pastors and leaders that their strength and faith will not falter. We pray for the conference on the 30th and the 31st. Pack the HOUSE LORD with hungry women and then feed us LORD and send us out as mighty warriors. Heal our families, heal our land, heal our loved ones listed here and all this we ask in the merits and Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord and soon coming King. Amen and amen.
