IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2009

As I sit to type it is Wednesday and I am fresh from watching Beth – Wednesday’s with Beth on Life Today. And this she said to me and I pass along to you: I have an extraordinary gift from God. Say it aloud. No, not just in your mind. Open your mouth and say it: I have an extraordinary gift from God. Did you hear yourself? Do you believe it?

I Peter 4:

10 As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as [befits] good trustees of God’s many-sided grace [faithful stewards of the extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to Christians by unmerited favor].

Then she said: Fan the flame, get out there and make your God famous in your sphere of influence.

I would like that. But am I willing to do it?

Am I willing in humble pride to say: ‘I am gifted’ and then self-less-ly use my gift for the good of those in my sphere of influence? That is what it will take for you and me to make God famous in our sphere of influence. John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.] Amen and amen – cause it to be so.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

And now as I sit to finish it is Thursday morning. We spent several hours at the hospital on Wednesday. The surgery was quick and successful we believe; but that is not all the story. Some time after the surgery her (Jerry’s Mother) lung collapsed but the doctor said that is resolving and he feels good about that particular issue. But he is concerned about other conditions. She remains in recovery as there were no ICU units available yesterday. And this morning she has been responsive to yes and no questions by the Nurses, so we are charting some improvement. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue.

ABBA, I am tired and I think only You can refresh me. And I think I am not the only one feeling this way this morning now that it is Thursday; now that Wednesday is passed with its good and its not so good – we begin again and we are grateful to begin again with You. Grateful to again come in prayer and it is so good to know I am not coming alone but all our IDOKs come too. And together we ask You to apply Your Word to us. To reveal to us the GIFTS You have given each of us to be used, not hidden, not put away in secret but brought out in the open to be admired and received individually and then given back to Your Hands to administer through us to others so that You will be exalted, not us. And we come this morning to ask for help. To ask You boldly and without reservation to help these listed here and in particular I am asking You to give recovery to Ruth, Jerry’s Mother. You know my thoughts concerning her and the things I’d like for her and I pray You will give her those opportunities. It was good to see WC and Betty yesterday, thank You for their faithfulness and I ask You to particularly bless them today, You know their needs, far better than I. And as I have looked over the list, it’s long, LORD, lots and lots of situations, stuff we are not privy to but You are and so whatever You desire for these that is what we pray will be and we pray when it requires cooperation from them with You that they will know it and do it. And in particular as every day we pray for our IDOK Troops, asking You to protect them today, to remind them they are loved and appreciated and that YOU are their first line of defense, praying they will lean on You and be hidden in You today. And we are mindful of our duty to pray for the President and his family, for those that make up his administration. LORD, You know I don’t agree with them, don’t like what they do, how they think, or what they are insisting to do, but I know You love them, You die for them, You desire to forgive them and bless them; You are so AWESOME. So we pray whatever You will to do to demonstrate to them Who You are and what You desire, do it, LORD. And Holy Spirit, we pray You will enable them to cooperate and in spite of sins, evil and foolish actions, we pray You will have mercy on America and give grace and space for repentance. And ABBA we pray for mercy for us too the Body of Christ, we are to blame for much of the evil because we kept quiet. Forgive us, help us really, really repent so we will no longer be part of the problem but will become co-workers with You again. ABBA, we do love You, help us love You more, love You enough to make You famous. Amen and amen.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2009

Benjamin Franklin is accredited with saying: ‘early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’ And at my ‘sage age’ I think he is right which makes me all the more foolish for not heeding his advice.

Time is one of the things I have on my mind this morning. (A stitch in time, saves nine.) And my agenda for today is as I know set to include some hours at the hospital. My beloved’s mother is scheduled for surgery possibly as early as 1:30 this afternoon. She fell yesterday and broke her hip. Your prayers for her are much appreciated.

This must be a morning of sayings and I hope by the end of this something I have said will be helpful and encouraging. SO as I watched the tail lights of the Accord to the end of the street this morning, I thought: ‘I am so glad ‘Love is blind’. But you know what, love isn’t blind. They, whomever ‘they’ are that coined that phrase in my estimation are wrong. Neither is love deaf and dumb. LOVE just loves around stuff, over and through it. I’m so glad! Stuff like slouchy clothes, wet hair, no makeup and coffee breath. Yes, I am praising ABBA for Love that is not blind but loves anyway! I hope you have people in your life that love you warts and all. And if not, ABBA, bring a saint or two alongside these Dear Ones that will love them not blindly, but with full sight and a generous heart. And, LORD, thank You that You always love them, You always love us, warts and all. You are AWESOME! And, ABBA, while You are at it, make me one of those people that love other people warts and all.

1 Corinthians 13

1 IF I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).

3 Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing.

4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

9 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).

10 But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded).

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.

12 For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God].

13 And so faith, hope, love abide [faith–conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope–joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love–true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

No, a blind eye is not what it takes to love, it takes the eyes of Jesus and we have them, we only need to USE them. Sayings … We must be made up of more than sayings, doings are what count.

ABBA, thank You. You make me smile. And people You have blessed me with make me smile too. Thank You. It came to me as I watched and listened that I can’t ask You just once to give me Your Eyes to see that I must ask You over and over and over, not that You are not willing but because if I don’t keep asking, I am not willing. Oh LORD make me willing to keep on asking until I am seeing with Your Eyes consistently.

And added to this I ask You for a successful and safe surgerical procedure for Mother this afternoon and we pray for a good and steady recovery. Thank You for Cynthia, bless her today too. And we renew our prayers for Christopher and his family, for Darlene and her Sister, for each one listed here, specifically our IDOK Troops for protection of mind, body and spirit; and for the Peace of Israel and we dare not forget to renew again and again our petition for the repentance of the American People and the Revival of the Body of Christ.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 2009

I am still off my beat, so allow me again just a quick word and a prayer with you.

Promises

Even consistently faithful humans can slip, over extend, fall and break promises; BUT not our God.

Isaiah 25.

A promise for the future:

8 He will swallow up death [in victory; He will abolish death forever]. And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it.

9 It shall be said in that day, Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is the Lord, we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

And a promise for today:

Isaiah 26.

3 You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.

4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

PRAYER REQUEST:Christopher H. A 5 year old son of a friend of an IDOK Sister Lisa, who may have Hodgkin’s. She (the Mother) is a nurse at Mobile Infirmary and was able to get extensive testing and biopsies done immediately Friday. They are waiting on the test results to come in this week. They are so upset and as a parent of a 5 year old, I cannot even begin to feel the pain that this family is going through. It would mean so much to me and their family for him/them to receive as many prayers they can.

Thank you for praying with me for a safe trip for my much loved William and Brenda. They arrived home safe, quite a bit tired but in good time and had some fun along the way.

In addition to Christopher we are adding Darlene’s Sister. Her medical condition is serious, even to the point of probable leg amputation.

Father, thank You for the opportunities of praise and ministry that are in this day for each of us. I pray we will seize them and use them up for Your Glory. I pray we will have eyes to see Your sovereign goodness displayed all around us. And when we see hurtful, unfair and unjust happenings, I pray we will remember Your Promises and by Your Grace and Strength choose to trust You and continue to love You. We pray for Christopher and we see this disease as hurtful and unfair and we pray that You will intervene and give this little one a miracle of healing and we pray for his family to see and know Your Presence in all this and as they wait for test results, help them keep their minds stayed on You for Your Perfect Peace. And then Darlene’s Sister, she has suffered much and more suffering according to medical reports is ahead of her and yet we know that You are able to reverse this and we would like to see You do that but even if You don’t we proclaim that You are Good and Your Promises are true. We pray for peace and comfort for Darlene, not only concerning her sister but Torkel and their children and grandchildren; all that concerns her we pray she will SEE Your Sovereign Goodness in the here and now and stand firmly on Your Promises. We pray this for us all, LORD, and each one listed here that we will see Your Sovereign Goodness and stand faithfully on Your Promises. Comfort and protect our IDOK Troops in mind, body and spirit and Troop Families waiting. Protect and defend Israel we pray and send conviction and grace and space for America to repent. You know our concerns regarding the President and his family and every man and woman on Capital Hill. We have to believe that some of them actually do KNOW You and for them, LORD, guard them and please, please don’t let them fall; snatch them from compromise and fill them with Your Spirit; for the others, LORD, we pray for HOLY GHOST conviction to fall upon them so strongly and heavily that even their sleep is troubled and their food is unsatisfying for as long as they refuse to repent and if not this, bring whatever means and actions You deem necessary to get their attention. ABBA, Your Word promises You will pour out Your Spirit upon Your Sons and Daughters in the Last Days, come and pour out on us we pray. Amen and amen. A SPECIFIC UNSPOKEN.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2009

Monday already? With only a few minutes of pacing the floor, William and Brenda arrived on time Friday and the days have gone by much, much too quickly. We have been so blessed with love and laughter, way too much good food and a little bit sleep here and there. I am blessed beyond my vocabulary.

Please allow me just a quick word this Monday from the concluding verse from Sunday School yesterday.

Isaiah 30:18 And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

His matchless, unbroken companionship, that’s what we want today and that is what we can have. In deed were ARE a loved and favored people!

ABBA, it will take eternity to thank You for You being You to me. Thank You for these days with family and this morning as William and Brenda travel back I ask You to protect them giving mercy to arrive safely and along the way I pray for peace and comfort and laughter for them.

And this morning we pray too for Doug, asking for a safe procedure and for the best report following the procedure that can be given and we pray for comfort and peace of mind and heart as Claudia waits.

We specifically come with Chad B and his family this morning concerning his deployment. We ask for his safety and protection along with all our IDOK Troops and we pray for families for their peace of mind and hearts, always trusting Your Mercy and Grace and Loving-Kindness to each of us. And we petition You this morning on behalf of each of these listed here for Your very best for each of them and we trust You. Amen and amen.
